When Feng Guodong is not speaking, he speaks slowly and deliberately, each word as if it were carefully considered before being uttered. His tone is gentle and mild, and his every move exudes the demeanor of a refined scholar.
These words, when they reached Xiao Weiguo's ears, were as comforting and pleasant as a spring breeze.
This instantly calmed his nerves, which had been hanging in suspense, and he relaxed completely.
With a perfectly measured smile on his face, Xiao Weiguo bowed slightly and replied in a humble and polite tone, "Uncle Feng, you flatter me. You have a wonderful memory!"
Upon hearing Xiao Weiguo's answer, Feng Guodong couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter. His laughter was hearty and loud, as if it were filling the entire room with an atmosphere of joy.
After the laughter subsided, he continued.
"Haha, it's not that I have a particularly good memory, but rather that my daughter Wanlin often mentions you to me."
She praised you to the skies, saying how outstanding and excellent you are.
"Meeting you today, you truly live up to your reputation! With your extraordinary bearing and elegant demeanor, you are truly a dragon among men, no ordinary person! No wonder you were able to persuade my old friend Bai to personally come and clear the way for you."
Feng Guodong first lavishly praised Xiao Weiguo, but just when everyone thought he would maintain this appreciative attitude, he suddenly changed the subject, his expression became serious, and he stared straight at Xiao Weiguo as he slowly asked.
"However... there is still one thing I don't understand. I wonder if you could answer my question?"
As these words reached his ears, Xiao Weiguo's body trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He clearly hadn't expected to be asked such a question.
After a brief moment of surprise, he quickly came to his senses and subconsciously asked the question.
"Uncle Feng, please feel free to speak your mind. As long as I know it, I will tell you without reservation."
After listening, Feng Guodong nodded, slowly put his hands behind his back, and his deep gaze shot straight at Xiao Weiguo like two sharp swords, as if trying to see through his eyes to the secrets hidden deep in his heart.
He continued speaking in a calm tone.
“I have heard that you had a very difficult period of time, during which your life was chaotic and terrible, and you even committed some heinous mistakes, which led to your being despised and scorned by everyone.”
However, unexpectedly, overnight, you seemed to have been reborn as a completely different person.
First, he stopped your sister's wedding car with a long knife in hand, successfully preventing her from marrying that mentally challenged man.
Then began your legendary journey of turning your life around.
In just two or three short years, you have managed to create a huge fortune that ordinary people could hardly achieve even in several lifetimes.
Even more incredible is that every choice and action you make seems to be perfectly in sync with the pulse of the times, as if all the policies issued by the country were tailor-made for you.
Could you please explain the reasons for this to me in detail?
Upon hearing these questions, Xiao Weiguo finally felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Before coming here, Xiao Weiguo had already anticipated that he might face such a situation. Therefore, he spent a lot of time and energy doing his homework so that he could be well-prepared and answer fluently when asked about these matters.
After all, the importance attached to this meeting with such a high-level leader is self-evident.
Not to mention the trivial matters in personal life, even old stories that go back eight generations or more from ancestors would probably be thoroughly investigated.
Only after going through layers of screening and review can one have the opportunity to obtain this rare meeting permission.
Therefore, Xiao Weiguo was not surprised at all that Feng Guodong knew about his past experiences.
On the contrary, it would be strange if Feng Guodong knew nothing about this!
Moreover, there is a special person among them—Feng Wanlin.
This is Xiao Weiguo's first angel investor in his life!
She knew everything about Xiao Weiguo's past experiences, even better than anyone else.
Because of this relationship, Xiao Weiguo had already conceived in his mind strategies and responses to various possible questions.
He first gave a forced, bitter smile, then shook his head and sighed.
"Thank you for your leniency, Uncle Feng! Actually, several years ago, I was a complete scoundrel! What kind of petty theft or despicable acts haven't I done just to fill my stomach?"
Xiao Weiguo appeared completely at ease, making no attempt to conceal anything, and openly recounted all his embarrassing and trivial past misdeeds.
Actually, even if he doesn't bring these things up, how could people not know the truth?
It's just that, due to the difference in our social status, we were too embarrassed to say anything too harsh.
Therefore, Xiao Weiguo felt that there was no need to hide anything, so he simply told everyone frankly, which made the communication much smoother.
After making a self-deprecating remark, Xiao Weiguo paused briefly before continuing.
"Uncle, you see, people always have to grow up. Back then, I was indeed young and ignorant, and very reckless! But as I grew older, especially after living day after day without the care and companionship of my parents, I deeply realized that the most precious thing for each of us is none other than our loved ones!"
Without them as our spiritual pillars and emotional support, all our hard work and efforts in this complex and chaotic world would ultimately seem pale, powerless, and utterly insignificant!
Therefore, from that moment on, I secretly vowed in my heart that I would take good care of my younger siblings and never let them suffer even the slightest pain because of me.
So I tried every means to make money, just so they could live a better life.
Regarding your so-called legendary experiences and miraculous comebacks, to me they were nothing more than coincidences.
The development and changes of all things in this world are in accordance with the trends of the times and the general trend of history.
I simply happened to be going with the flow, going with the tide; that's all. There's really nothing to be surprised about!
At this point, Xiao Weiguo paused, and Feng Guodong's eyes gleamed with admiration. He couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Good, what a brilliant move to go with the flow!"
