TISMML Chapter 90.3

Nan Yu didn’t believe a word of Fei Yizheng’s so-called bankruptcy, but he did seem to have a lot of free time. Compared to Nan Ji or Li Yuanmo, he was incredibly idle.

“Talking about money is too formal. Yu Yu can cover my meals.” Fei Yizheng replied with a smile.

Fei Yunjin, who had overheard everything, initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought about how his aunt was worried about his teacher, and if he had more contact with this man, he would have the opportunity to speak ill of him to his aunt!

And if he didn’t teach well, it could lower his standing in his aunt’s eyes!

With this in mind, when Nan Yu asked Fei Yunjin for his opinion, the little guy smiled and agreed.

Then, the next second, the two, one tall and one short, met each other’s eyes, their smiles seemingly cut from the same mold.

This made Nan Yu, standing to the side, marvel once again at the wonder of blood ties.

She was completely unaware that a war called the ‘Battle for Nan Yu’ was raging before her eyes.

It was just unknown whether Fei Yizheng or Fei Yunjin would emerge victorious in the final battle.

The Nan family held another family meeting.

The last time, they discussed Nan Ji and An Ning’s wedding, but this time, it was much more serious and formal.

“Isn’t this just using you as an example?”

Nan Yu quickly gave a concluding answer after listening to Nan Ji’s conversation with that person.

“Yes, but this is a very good opportunity.”

Nan Ji nodded.

The Nan family’s recent developments had been too conspicuous; not only was Nan Ji worried about what to do, but those above him were undoubtedly pondering the same issue.

They certainly don’t want a situation where one family dominates, but right now, there is no family that can compete with the Nan family.

Directly ‘suppressing’ them will seem petty, given the Nan family’s long history of law-abiding behavior. Compared to the corruption and infighting within many families, the Nan family is a beacon of integrity.

Furthermore, their public image is excellent, especially after the earthquake in Shanghai. Regardless of Nan Ji’s initial motives, he genuinely invested time and money in aiding the affected citizens.

The higher-ups clearly understood this.

Moreover, Nan Ji initially acted for his family; someone who cares about family can’t be inherently bad.

Therefore, after a day of discussion, the higher-ups decided to ‘win over’ the Nan family. Just like the concept of imperial merchants in ancient times, the Nan family could now be backed by the government.

“You’ll probably see me in various public service announcements from now on.” Nan Ji said, shrugging.

Then he held up his phone in his right hand, pretending it was a mirror, and looked at his face from left to right.

“Thanks to my parents for giving me a perfect face. Sigh, being this handsome has its downsides; I might have more fans than Yu Yu in the future.”

The others: “…”

Nan Yu said disdainfully, “Heh, the only thing you’re good at is the face your parents gave you.”

“Damn it, Yu Yu, what do you mean by that?! Can’t you see my equally excellent mind and—”

“Ahem.”

Nan Ji’s words were interrupted by Old Mr. Nan. He glanced at his grandson with disdain, clearly not wanting to watch his antics, and steered the conversation back to the serious topic.

“This is an opportunity for our Nan family, but also a test.”

Since ancient times, merchants have never fought with officials; this ironclad rule still applies today. The old man never imagined that the Nan family he founded would one day come to this point.

However, the rapid development also made the foundation of the Nan family somewhat unstable. Due to the times, he had made many good friends with influential figures in higher positions.

But if he were to pass away, this friendship would inevitably be severed in half, and the Nan family was simply too small, with no particularly outstanding members among their other relatives.

It’s said that it takes three generations to cultivate a noble family; the Nan family still needs time to mature and accumulate experience.
