All these years, it was the Feng family who was up to tricks and ploys. His daughter could see through their true colors and distanced herself from the Feng family, maintaining a polite relationship with them.Qing Qing had already done that, but the Feng family did not do any reflection, and worst still, Feng Cheng had never once thought about this issue at all.Shi Peng and Feng Cheng had a closer relationship during the times they were in Ping Cheng. It was as if they were back to the times when they were dating. But their relationship turned sour when they moved to the capital and they had different opinions of the Feng family.
Shi Peng hoped that Feng Cheng would calm down and ignore the fact that the Feng family was her parental family and see through their true colors as well as the Feng family’s hidden intentions toward Shi Peng and his family. If Feng Cheng did not trust her husband, she should trust her daughter, Shi Qing.
Qing Qing was a good and well-behaved girl, but she was not close with the Feng family. Since Feng Cheng was the mother, why could she not see the reality? Her daughter could see through their true colors, while Feng Cheng was deceived by them. It was absurd.
Shi Peng could not understand women. Although they had been married for more than twenty years, it was only during the times when they dated and the period where they lived together in Ping Cheng did they have a closer relationship. Once they started quarreling, Shi Peng did not know what to do with Feng Cheng.
To Shi Peng, Qiao Nan was more than a niece. Shi Peng was used to treating Qiao Nan like a tree hole where he could confide and share his worries. He would seek Qiao Nan’s advice blatantly at the Zhai family’s residence, sharing his concerns with her.
Shi Peng and Shi Qing already had the habit of confiding in Qiao Nan back in Ping Cheng. Qiao Nan had already gotten used to it. After she moved to the capital, she was not the least surprised when Shi Peng came looking for her. In fact, she had already guessed that he would seek her advice.
Qiao Nan still remembered the Feng family’s behavior four years ago.
Since Shi Peng, the son-in-law, could be of great help to the Feng family, they would not let go of such a good chance. It was alright that Shi Peng was not close to the Feng family. The Feng family could get what they wanted through their daughter, Feng Cheng. Unless Shi Peng divorced Feng Cheng, Shi Peng had to listen to Feng Cheng.
After Shi Peng came looking for Qiao Nan, she offered him some advice. Firstly, she told him to put in extra effort at work and make sure that Feng Cheng could see that he was exhausted at work. Secondly, when Feng Cheng felt that she was being neglected, Shi Peng should take one week’s leave and go on a holiday with her. Thirdly, during the holiday, Shi Peng must make it known to Feng Cheng that he had worked very hard to make the trip happen for the two of them. Fourthly, he must let her know that after he was transferred to the capital, despite having many issues at work, the Feng family had never helped him in politics or business.
If Feng Cheng rebutted him, given Shi Peng’s intelligence, he should know how to use her words to apply to the Feng family.
It was inappropriate for the Feng family to help Shi Peng, and it was the same for Shi Peng as well.
If the Feng family ‘s excuse was that they wanted Shi Peng to toughen himself and attain a strong foothold in the capital, then Shi Peng could tell Feng Cheng that he was considering the interests of the Feng family as well.
Qiao Nan did not know much about the political situation in the capital, but Shi Peng knew better than her. Shi Peng could come up with several political reasons why he could not be close to the Feng family or help them.
It was easy to tell one what was right, but when dealing with Feng Cheng, one had to use heartfelt words to move her first.
All women would love it when her husband treated her well and loved her.
Come to think of it, Shi Peng and Feng Cheng had been married for ages, but they had not gone on a holiday by themselves. Feng Cheng would be glad to go on a trip with her husband. After knowing all that Shi Peng had gone through to make the trip possible, Feng Cheng would definitely be moved by him.
Moreover, Feng Cheng loved Shi Peng and her daughter.
Last but not least, Qiao Nan told Shi Peng to give Shi Qing a phone call and update her about the current situation. To Feng Cheng, apart from the Feng family who was her parental family, Shi Peng and Shi Qing were the two dearest people to her.
Feng Cheng had been living with the Feng family for a long time and she had a close relationship with them. This was why the Feng family was able to influence her.
Similarly, as long as Shi Peng and Shi Qing were willing to work on strengthening their relationship with Feng Cheng, it would not be easy for the Feng family to PK Shi Peng and Shi Qing and for Feng Cheng to listen to the Feng family.
Qiao Nan did not know about politics. Shi Peng would have a better insight than her.
However, after dealing with Qiao Zijin all these years, Qiao Nan was experienced with how to deal with siblings who fought among themselves as well as the mind games and schemes within the family. If she were to give a lesson, it would take days to impart all the knowledge to Shi Peng.
Luckily, for certain cases, once one grasped the fundamental point, all the rest would follow. After chatting with Qiao Nan, Shi Peng thought hard about it, and he felt enlightened and was invigorated. He used the tactics that he used in his work on Feng Cheng.
Shi Peng used to treat Feng Cheng as his wife and he had never thought of using the tactics that he deployed at work on her. After heeding Qiao Nan’s advice, and being annoyed by the disgusting behavior of the Feng family, Shi Peng had no choice but to use the tactics on his wife.
After being cornered by her husband and her daughter, Feng Cheng had no choice but to surrender.
The Feng family had been living in the capital for ages. They should have a deeper influence than the Shi family. Like what her husband had said, under such circumstances, it was very good of the Shi family not to seek help from the Feng family. They did not become a hindrance to the Feng family or create trouble for them. If so, would it not be too much of the Feng family to seek help from Shi Peng?
A married daughter was like water spilled. Qing Qing was her only daughter.
If the Feng family did well, she was not certain if it would have a positive impact on Qing Qing. But her husband had said that if the Shi family did well, it would definitely do Qing Qing good.
After brainwashing Feng Cheng, Shi Peng’s family of three distanced themselves from the Feng family. Compared to the relationship they had when Qiao Nan first came to the capital for her studies, they were not as close to them now.
Shi Qing and Zhu Baoguo performed very well in the army, particularly Shi Qing. There were more men than women in the army. Under such situations, Shi Qing, who was outstanding and competent, stood out among the rest. Since she had major meritorious performance in the army in her previous assignment and she made minor contributions in three other assignments, she would no longer be a normal soldier in the next half of the year. She would be getting a promotion.
Given Qiao Nan’s strong friendship with Zhu Baoguo and Shi Qing, although she had just graduated, she would not be considered as a leader without a following. She had very competent partners and companions. However, apart from people who were close to Qiao Nan, outsiders like Deng Wenchang were clueless.
