Chapter 917 Offer Her Some Favors

Qiao Nan was about the same age as Shi Qing. In fact, she was one year younger than the current batch of freshmen. Why she was so sensitive and perceptive?

Shi Qing used to lead a simple and sheltered at the Feng family. Qiao Nan did not have much contact with the Feng family, but she was able to have a big influence on Shi Qing. Feng Liang could not help but be worried. “Dad, Qiao Nan seems to be someone who is not easily manipulated. Things may not be as simple as what we imagined.”

Previously, Feng Liang could not be bothered with Qiao Nan. Although Zhai Sheng might be serious about Qiao Nan, Feng Liang felt that Zhai Sheng was purely after novelty and had thus taken a fancy to a girl like Qiao Nan.

Feng Liang did not believe in love. This was something that youngsters would do.

Old Master Feng was hesitant. “She is only in her twenties. I don’t think she is capable of that.”

Old Master Feng pranced around the study room anxiously. He felt that Qiao Nan could not be that intelligent. But Shi Qing’s attitude had alerted him and aroused his doubts. “Women are not so perceptive and farsighted. What I am more worried about is that it may have to do with Zhai Sheng. You should know Qing Qing’s feelings toward Zhai Sheng.”

“Dad, do you mean that Qing Qing is influenced by Zhai Sheng?” Did it mean that Zhai Sheng was on guard against the Feng family?

If Zhai Sheng was on guard against the Feng family, what about the Zhai family?

Feng Liang’s expression darkened. His only brother-in-law was Zhai Sheng’s master and had guided him when he was in the army. How dared Zhai Sheng look down on the Feng family and told Qiao Nan to be on guard against the Feng family. He was the cause of Shi Qing’s anger toward the Feng family.

If the Feng family was powerful enough, there would be no need for them to fawn over the Zhai family and befriend a junior like Zhai Sheng.

Feng Liang might have a bad temper, but the reality was harsh.

All these years, he had tried his best for the Feng family to become stronger in order to avoid such situations.

But before the Feng family succeeded, there would bound to be a lot of similar situations like today. If Feng Liang could not stomach such anger, there would be a day where he would be angered to death.

“There is no hurry. This is just pure speculation. Besides, Qiao Nan and Qing Qing are different from us. They are students and are more simple-minded. Perhaps we do not need to make things complicated. For all we know, Qiao Nan is really busy.”

Although this seemed to be the least possible reason.

Feng Liang lowered his voice. “We will know once Feng Meng is back.”

“Okay.”

Feng Meng came back one hour later. He went into the Old Master Feng’s study room right away. “Qiao Nan is really not at the Lin family’s house. I have asked around. Qiao Nan does not have any lessons today. She has not been seen going to Peking University.”

Qiao Nan was nowhere to be found. It seemed that what Shi Qing told them was the truth. She was participating in activities for social practice.

After affirming this, the men in the Feng family finally felt slightly reassured and were not as upset as before.

If Qiao Nan was at the Lin family’s house or at school, it would not affect the Feng family’s attitude toward Qiao Nan. However, they would be angry as Shi Qing had helped an outsider like Qiao Nan to deceive her family.

They would be bitterly disappointed in her if that was the case.

“Grandpa, uncle, I will go back to the office.” Feng Meng was furious. He was stood up by Qiao Nan two times in a row. He could have clinched many business deals and earned so much money if not for her.

“Wait a minute.” Feng Liang stopped Feng Meng. “You are closer to Qing Qing, and she is suspicious of us. You are the best candidate for this task now. There is no hurry, but find time to give Qing Qing a call. I want to know what kind of social practice Qiao Nan is participating in. It’s good that Qiao Nan wants to strive to do better. If she wants to gain experience through social practice, your company should have a suitable position for her.”

After calming down, Feng Liang felt that it was too much to ask the future daughter-in-law of the Zhai family to acknowledge a fictive kinship with the Feng family just with a mere apology and a meal.

Although Qiao Nan came from a humble background and did not have much social experience, she had the Zhai family as her backing

Before Qiao Nan came to the capital, the Zhai family must have taught her a lot about the life in the capital.

His father was right. The Zhai family valued Qiao Nan a lot. They had even educated her in the ways of the world.

As an adult, Feng Liang knew that what they did previously was too small-minded. They wanted major returns but they could not bear to invest in their plan. It was no wonder that Qiao Nan refused to take the bait.

“Dad, Feng Meng, Qiao Nan may not be as simple-minded as what we think her to be The college students nowadays are not as simple as before. But it is good that people are realistic. As long as we offer her some favors, our plan may just work out smoothly. That’s right. Nobody will be willing to do things that do not benefit them.”

Feng Meng had a strange smile on his face. “Do you mean that Qiao Nan feels that we are insincere?”

“The youngsters nowadays…” Old Master Feng sighed. “This is the reason behind bad social norms. People of our generation treasure the relationship with other people, but the younger generation, particularly our grandchildren, value their personal gains over other things. Alright, Feng Meng, I want you to get a thorough understanding of what kind of person Qiao Nan is. On account that she is Qing Qing’s friend, we will offer her some favors. Just don’t go overboard.”

“Don’t worry, grandpa. I understand.” He would arrange an internship for Qiao Nan and give her some special privileges. This was not the first time that he gave special treatment to someone.

Qiao Nan should have told them what she wanted long ago. She pretended as if she was not after material pursuits.

“You should go back to your office now.” His younger son and his grandson would have to work to support his elder son in his business. They could not put everything on hold for Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan had no idea that they were discussing her. She simply did not wish to be associated with the Feng family that was up to no good. But the Feng family had jumped to conclusions that she was after material pursuits.

Qiao Nan was glad that she could gain experience from her social practice. She jumped about like a rabbit.

Qiao Nan had lessons on Monday morning, while Shi Qing did not have any lessons.

Qiao Nan bought breakfast for Shi Qing and herself. She did not disturb Shi Qing from her sleep. Instead, she cycled to school for her lessons.

It was good to have a dependable master. She had a place to stay and she had the means of transportation.

The Lin family’s house was quite a distance from Peking University. If Qiao Nan did not cycle to school, she would have to wake up at an earlier time. It would be a hassle for her.

By the time Qiao Nan reached the classroom, half of the classroom was filled with students.
