Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 910 Feng Xingtong: Dad, didn't you realize He Songling was swindling?

"Oh?"

Feng Zhenghao immediately became interested.

He may have quantified and calculated many other things, even himself and his family relationships, and in most cases, he would even base his decisions on the pros and cons.

But what remained unchanged was Feng Zhenghao's deep concern for the Feng family's heritage and the inheritance of the Spirit Binding Technique. This was something his grandfather had brought out from the immortal cave after going through countless hardships, and he was determined to ensure that the Feng family would continue to pass it down, and that the Spirit Binding Technique would be passed down within the Feng family.

The fact that the Feng family still practices spirit control and commanding generals in modern times, passing it down only to sons, shows that while Feng Zhenghao may not have a strong paternal love for Feng Xingtong as a person, he must have been very concerned about the identity of his "son".

If he could get his "son" into Trinity University, receive the best Qi cultivation education, and get to the forefront of Qi research, Feng Zhenghao would be willing to pay any price.

Moreover, the way He Songling spoke with such certainty and confidence only strengthened the belief that he truly was the He Songling of yesteryear. That was a deity; if Feng Xingtong could be by his side, what did it matter if he didn't attend Trinity College?
"Brother Ling, I'm a few years older than you, so I'm taking the liberty of calling you 'brother.' I hope you don't mind."

"Oh, you're too kind. I'm on the same level as Miss Feng. In terms of seniority, I should call you Uncle!" He Songling toasted Feng Zhenghao again as he spoke, as if he intended to drink up all the Moutai he had treasured in this meal.

"No way, let's keep things separate, brother." Feng Zhenghao leaned over, put his arm around He Songling's shoulder, and said in a thick tongue, "You just said you'd take care of the kids' schooling, do you have connections at Trinity University?"

"Hmm~" He Songling waved his hand, almost knocking Feng Zhenghao off his chair. "How can you say we're related? It's like we're at home!"

Steady!

Feng Zhenghao's eyes lit up.

He turned around and called to his son, "Xingtong, did you hear that? You're going to university now, hurry up and come over to toast your Uncle Ling!"

He then turned to He Songling and said, "Brother Ling, don't worry. As long as you can get my stupid son into university, I'll take care of it. I'll give you 500 million, let alone 300 million."

Don't worry about the taxes; I'll pay and withhold them for you, guaranteeing you'll receive 500 million. Also, if you want a villa, yacht, or island, I can help you get it, or I'll just buy it for you and give it to you!

"..."

The young people exchanged glances, then cast sympathetic looks at Feng Xingtong.

Feng Shayan, filled with resentment towards her father, grabbed Feng Xingtong and said sarcastically, "Brother, doesn't our dad look like one of those greasy middle-aged men on the street? He has no real skills, but he brags about how capable he is every day, and then he gets scammed?"

"Hmm." Actually, Feng Xingtong didn't have too much of a problem with his father, because from childhood to adulthood, his father had never wronged him in any way. If he had to say something, it would only be that line often uttered by rich kids in idol dramas: "You didn't spend time with me, I didn't feel loved."

The problem is, Feng Zhenghao even passed on the Eight Extraordinary Techniques of Spirit Binding and Commanding to me, which shows that my dad is a reliable, trustworthy, and kind person. Feng Xingtong didn't have any complaints about his dad. But there was really nothing he could do; the scene before him was just too similar, too much like what his sister had said. It was exactly like that kind of person who had been an honest man all his life, had no real skills but wanted to prove himself, only to be unknowingly scammed.

In particular, Feng Zhenghao, such a big entrepreneur and one of the top ten in the world of supernatural beings, actually stumbled on such a trivial matter as "using connections to get his child into a good university." Feng Xingtong didn't even know where to begin complaining.

"Hey, what do you youngsters know? Brother Ling is a man of great ability!" Feng Zhenghao scolded his two children, then toasted He Songling. "Brother Ling, please excuse me, please excuse me, the children are just ignorant."

"Hey, it's alright, don't worry. I like Xing Tong, I'll make sure he gets into university for further studies." He Songling, as if he were really drunk, slurred his words and patted his chest to make the promise.

"Very well, very well. May I ask when my son will go to register? Or will he go with Brother Ling, or can he go directly there?"

"Hmm, is that even possible? Trinity University is a legitimate, legitimate university." He Songling pretended to be drunk and mumbled, "How can you say that I can arrange the child's enrollment and major with just one phone call? What kind of shameless university is that?"

Feng Zhenghao pursed his lips, not daring to reply. This was a slide that couldn't be touched, so even he didn't dare to say a word. He could only cautiously ask, "Then, Brother Ling, what do you want to..."

“I know that guy, a retired employee of Trinity University, you know Lu Jin, right? Two heroes, hey, I’m close!” He Songling pretended to be clueless. “I’ll tell him that there’s a good kid here, and ask him to write a letter of recommendation so Xing Tong can go for the interview. I’ll have him teach the kid the key points of the interview beforehand, guaranteed to pass!”

Feng Zhenghao's face twitched after hearing this.

Trinity University does indeed have a recommendation letter system. This is because Trinity University is not an ordinary university and cannot be entered through the national college entrance examination. Therefore, in addition to the entrance examination system for the superhumans, it also adopts the application and recommendation system of foreign universities for admission.

So, after all that effort he'd put on this friendly act, you patted your chest and said it was no problem, and then you sent me a legitimate recruitment channel?

How is this any different from those people who try to build connections at a dinner party to get their children a job within the system, only to have the person send them the official website for civil service exam registration?
Feng Zhenghao was furious.

Actually, Feng Zhenghao wasn't just angry that He Songling had tricked him. If he had only been deceived by He Songling, he could have tolerated it. As a successful entrepreneur who rose from humble beginnings, he could endure what others couldn't. Moreover, he had researched He Songling's background and knew that this man was particularly wicked. In fact, he had already prepared himself for this.

The biggest problem is that my two children were watching right next to me. They had just realized that I had been tricked, but I still insisted on going my own way.

As everyone knows, parents like Lao Zhong can endure all sorts of humiliation and injustice, but they absolutely cannot bow their heads and admit their mistakes in front of their children; it's worse than killing them.

While Feng Zhenghao has his enlightened and progressive side, his tendency to force Feng Shayan and Feng Xingtong to sacrifice for the family's interests reveals that he remains a traditional, patriarchal figure. Such a person would absolutely not tolerate being embarrassed or admitting mistakes in front of his children.

"boom!"

Feng Zhenghao slammed his fist on the table, breaking off a corner of it.
