Chapter 1948 - 1944: Call from Mu Dongcheng
"Hello, who is this?"
After answering the phone, Chen Feng asked in confusion.
"Family Head, it’s me, Mu Dongcheng!"
A familiar voice came through the phone.
It was Mu Dongcheng, the current chief steward of the Chen Family.
A while ago,
Mu Dongcheng led a professional project team to the distant town of Green Tea, to develop the mountain tea project, and hasn’t been at the Chen Family.
Moreover, because he was quite busy, Chen Feng hadn’t been in contact with him during this time.
Now unexpectedly, Mu Dongcheng had called.
This was somewhat surprising to Chen Feng.
"So it’s you. What prompted you to give me a call?"
Chen Feng asked with a smile.
He still felt quite close to Mu Dongcheng.
After all, Mu Dongcheng was with him from the very beginning.
When the Chen Family was founded, Mu Dongcheng was there.
The Chen Family reached this point, and Mu Dongcheng absolutely deserved half the credit.
Whenever Chen Feng wasn’t around, it was Mu Dongcheng who helped manage the Chen Family.
The relationship between Chen Feng and Mu Dongcheng was almost familial.
In Chen Feng’s mind,
He always regarded Mu Dongcheng as his elder.
Therefore, with Mu Dongcheng,
He could say there were no barriers.
"It’s just that I haven’t been in touch for a long time, so I wanted to report the development progress here, lest you think I’m slacking!"
Mu Dongcheng said with a laugh.
"I certainly trust Uncle Mu’s character; you wouldn’t slack off. When I left the Chen Family in your hands, you managed it so well. Now that you’ve suddenly left, I’m not used to it. You must be very busy in Green Tea Town, right? But I’ll still say, no matter how busy you are, take care of your health, okay?"
Chen Feng said.
"Haha, rest assured, I’ll take good care of myself. But now you’ve suddenly taken control of the Chen Family, are you feeling a bit out of place? If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me, and I’ll personally teach you!"
Mu Dongcheng asked with concern.
This wasn’t because he looked down on Chen Feng.
But because Chen Feng had always been hands-off.
The vast Chen Family was personally managed by him.
From big matters to small details, all handled by him alone.
Chen Feng basically never managed.
Therefore.
Now that Chen Feng suddenly took charge of the Chen Family.
Mu Dongcheng felt a bit uneasy.
He worried that Chen Feng might not be accustomed.
"It’s nothing much, if there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll definitely ask you. Don’t worry about that, Uncle Mu. You’re working hard for the Chen Family outside; it’s already very tiring, especially developing a brand-new project, which is tough and challenging at first. If you need anything manpower or material-wise, keep me updated. Our Chen Family lacks nothing. As long as you need, I’ll arrange it immediately for you!"
Chen Feng said.
"Alright, alright, Family Head, rest assured. I’m also working for the Chen Family here, and I’ll definitely not be shy about lacking anything. You can rest assured about this!"
Mu Dongcheng said with a smile.
"Mm!" Chen Feng hesitated for a moment and asked, "But, Uncle Mu, you called, it’s probably not to ask about this matter, right?"
"Haha, as expected, nothing can be concealed from you!"
"Indeed, I called to ask about the matters between our Chen Family and the Tie Sect!"
"I recall that before, the Tie Sect still owed us a batch of resources as compensation, which hasn’t been delivered yet. I wanted to ask if this compensation has arrived because if we get this compensation, it will bolster our Chen Family’s strength!"
"Considering that the compensation includes many things our Chen Family urgently needs right now, which are very important cultivation resources, having them will solidify our foundation, allowing us to cultivate more strong individuals in the future. So I specifically called to ask about this!"
Mu Dongcheng directly said.
Hearing Mu Dongcheng’s words,
Chen Feng was taken aback and then shook his head with a smile.
This matter had indeed slipped his mind.
After thoroughly subduing the Tie Sect.
Although the news had spread in the Ancient Martial World, he hadn’t had the chance to tell Mu Dongcheng.
And Mu Dongcheng’s location in Green Tea Town was quite isolated.
It lacks connection with the outside, and information isn’t very well-informed.
So it’s likely the news hadn’t reached his ears.
Because of this, he naturally wouldn’t know the situation.
No wonder he personally called to ask about this matter.
Thinking of this,
Chen Feng quickly said, "Uncle Mu, this matter, I forgot to tell you, a while ago, I personally went to the Tie Sect and solved this matter completely!"
"Oh? How was it resolved?"
Mu Dongcheng asked curiously.
"Originally, I planned to directly annihilate the Tie Sect. However, the Great Elder of the Tie Sect had a change of heart and decided to submit to our Chen Family, bringing the remaining members of the Tie Sect to join our Chen Family. Everything that belonged to the Tie Sect is now under our Chen Family’s possession. You could say, in the current Ancient Martial World, the Tie Sect no longer exists as a sect!"
Chen Feng explained truthfully.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Dongcheng was startled.
It took him quite a while to regain his composure and exclaimed in surprise, "This... This is too incredible. The prestigious Tie Sect, a top-tier second-rate sect, actually submitted to our Chen Family. Family Head, how did you achieve this?"
Hearing Mu Dongcheng’s words,
Chen Feng also shook his head with a smile.
After all, this matter, before it happened, no one would have thought of it.
Because before the Chen Family and the Tie Sect clashed.
The two were completely on different levels.
The Tie Sect was a top-tier second-rate force.
In the Ancient Martial World, it already held a significant reputation as an established sect.
And the Chen Family,
Just established within a year, with weak strength and a limited number of strong individuals.
Their strengths were completely unbalanced.
If a conflict occurred, it would certainly be like egg hitting a stone.
The Chen Family was like an egg, hitting the stone that was the Tie Sect.
However, the outcome.
Was completely unexpected for everyone.
As soon as the two clashed.
The Chen Family crushed the Tie Sect in defeat.
The Tie Sect had no choice but to plea for mercy, offering territorial compensation.
And now.
In the second clash.
The Chen Family directly swallowed the Tie Sect entirely.
This outcome.
Before the two clashed, no one could have imagined.
And now, even Mu Dongcheng, the chief steward of the Chen Family, felt it was somewhat unbelievable.
Because he was aware that the Great Elder of the Tie Sect, Liang Tian, was a genuine Heavenly Rank Perfection powerhouse.
What made him willingly seek refuge with the Chen Family?
This point left Mu Dongcheng puzzled.
