Chapter 345: Did You Actually Sleep with My Sister?!
Fixing his gaze on Chen Bin’s eyes, Xu Tai slowly uttered three words.
"Xiong Guoqiang!"
Confused, Chen Bin shook his head and asked, "Who is this person? Is he powerful?"
"Xiong Guoqiang isn’t the powerful one; it’s the Xiong family that’s really remarkable—especially old master Xiong, who even now holds great renown in the Imperial Capital! Feng Huzhou once saved Xiong Guoqiang’s life, and that’s why he is where he is today."
"Then does Cao Sanjin know any big shots in the Imperial Capital?"
"Of course, he knows people, but he’s nowhere near the level of Xiong Guoqiang. Cao Sanjin’s achievements come mostly from his own abilities, along with help from key patrons. But admiration is nowhere near comparable to a life-saving debt."
"That’s fair enough, but what should I do next?"
"Things have already come to this point—are you willing to bow your head and admit defeat? If you ask me, Feng Huzhou won’t be around much longer; once he retires, chances are he’ll stop investing any effort in you."
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Bin decided this reasoning seemed sound.
When Feng Huzhou returned to frontline work after leaving Renmin University, he was already sixty years old.
At his current age, further promotion was nearly impossible, so stepping down seemed quite likely.
