Chapter 1238 Meeting with Ye Wenwu
"Humph, what a sharp-tongued boy! No wonder he could force the Ye family to this point!"
"But don't forget, my surname is also Ye. I may be at odds with my brother, but if the Ye family is attacked by outsiders, I will still choose to stand on the side of the Ye family!"
Ye Wenwu responded with a gloomy face, but in fact, ripples had already appeared in his heart.
Hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him/her in person. There is no false reputation under a great name.
The pride of China, this young man is indeed worthy of the title, and it is not unfair for their Ye family to lose.
"Mr. Ye, I came here with great sincerity this time. If you are still so hostile to me, there is no need for us to talk!"
Lu Feng put away his smile, stood up and was about to leave.
The second master of the Ye family, the number one in the Eastern Province, these titles are indeed impressive, but they cannot scare him.
He even dared to attack the entire Ye family, so why would he care about these things?
He was told to find a way to stop the war, but that didn't mean he had to condone the enemy without any bottom line. At worst, he would have to fight another war.
Anyway, he can afford it.
Feng Yuru, who was sitting there, saw Lu Feng about to leave, her face changed, she glared at Ye Wenwu fiercely, then quickly walked up to Lu Feng and stopped him.
"Mr. Lu, please stay. My old Ye has a bad temper. Don't bother with him. I've already asked the kitchen to cook. Since you're here, let's have a meal together before leaving."
Lu Feng glanced at Feng Yuru and said, "Madam, you are asking me to stay. As a junior, I dare not refuse!"
Feng Yuru heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Although she didn't know why Lu Feng came this time, she knew that without Lu Feng's two videos, it would be difficult for Ye Wenwu to take the position of the head of the family.
Once Ye Wenwu takes the position of the head of the family, he will have to bear the pressure from the Shen family and the Li family.
If he, as the new head of the family, cannot quickly stabilize the Ye family, then he will not be able to hold on to this position.
Therefore, it is necessary to make friends with Lu Feng. After all, the war between the two sides was caused by him.
As for the feud with the Ye family, Feng Yuru said that it was not important at all. Her surname was not Ye, and besides, it was Ye Wenyuan's lineage that had a grudge against Lu Feng, not them.
As long as you can make a profit in the end, everything else is just empty talk.
So, with Feng Yuru's encouragement, Lu Feng and Ye Wenwu sat at the same table to eat.
If other people saw this scene, they would probably be scared by it.
After all, the forces represented by both sides are still fighting for their lives at this moment, but these two people in power are sitting together to eat.
"Come, Mr. Lu, try this braised eel. You've lived in the Magic City for so long, you should be very familiar with the dishes there. It's a good opportunity for you to help me taste and see if this dish is authentic."
"I'd rather not have the chef I hired at such a high price turn out to be a mediocre chef and then be embarrassed!"
Feng Yuru enthusiastically placed the braised eel shreds that the chef had just brought in front of Lu Feng.
In response to her request, Lu Feng smiled calmly, picked up a piece of shredded eel with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The shredded eel was cooked just right, and both the taste and texture were as good as those of the Shanghainese chefs.
"Yes, yes, it tastes delicious."
"Madam, you really have a good eye for talent. This chef is extremely professional. He's on par with the local chefs!"
Lu Feng praised them, and the scene gradually became lively as the two of them talked.
However, most of the time, Lu Feng and Feng Yuru were chatting, and Ye Wenwu, the head of the family, only hummed a few words occasionally.
For Ye Wenwu, he knew very well what Lu Feng's appearance here meant. As long as they could negotiate well, he would be able to secure his position as the head of the Ye family.
But he really couldn't suddenly negotiate things with the enemies of the Ye family in a friendly manner.
"Mr. Ye, come, I'll toast you a glass!"
"This cup has no interests or hatred in it. It's just my simple admiration for the contributions you have made to the Eastern Province!"
Lu Feng put down his chopsticks, raised the wine glass in front of him, and pointed it at Ye Wenyuan.
After talking with countless important figures, he summed up a truth, that is, if you want to quickly open up the situation, you have to cater to their preferences.
Of course, this is not just about catering to someone's preferences. Instead, it means talking about the things that the other person is most proud of, rather than just ordinary pandering.
For example, Ye Wenyuan, what he is most proud of is not his identity as the second master of the Ye family, nor his identity as the head of the Ye family, but his identity as the number one in the East Province.
These are the political achievements he has actually made.
Using these to open a topic can significantly lower the other person's vigilance.
And the facts proved that Lu Feng's approach was indeed correct. After Ye Wenwu said that, his expression was obviously relieved. Although his face was still ugly, it was much better than before.
He even raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp as a toast to Lu Feng.
"Mr. Lu, thank you for your compliment!"
Ye Wenwu put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice.
"Hahaha, you're welcome, Mr. Ye. To be honest, I really admire you great people who do practical things for the people!"
"If it weren't for Ye Tian's incident, I think we might have become good friends!"
Lu Feng laughed heartily.
Hearing Ye Tian, Ye Wenwu was silent for a moment, then poured himself another glass of wine. As the spicy liquor entered his stomach, he slowly spoke:
"I know Ye Tian was wrong in this matter, Mr. Lu, there is no need to mention it again!"
"Things have come to this point, and right and wrong are no longer relevant."
"Compared to all this, I'm curious, why did Mr. Lu come here today? It can't be just to have a meal, right?"
Although he had guessed the purpose of Lu Feng coming here, Ye Wenwu still pretended not to know.
This is the art of speaking, and having been in official circles for many years, he has mastered it to perfection.
Seeing that he took the initiative to mention the business, Lu Feng put down the chopsticks in his hand and his expression became serious.
"If I say that I came here to save the Ye family and to stop this war, would you believe me?"
After hearing this, Feng Yuru looked at her husband nervously.
Ye Wenwu let out a long breath.
"I don't quite understand what you're saying, Mr. Lu. You said you wanted to end this war, and I believe you mean that."
"But I don't quite understand your so-called saving of the Ye family."
"The four major families and the three top families have been fighting until now, and each has suffered losses. Although the Ye family has suffered the most losses, it is not seriously injured. How can we talk about saving them?"
"Mr. Ye, of course I know the strength of the Ye family, but if I say that there is someone behind this battle, there is someone pushing it behind the scenes."
"How do you deal with this situation?"
