After finishing the call with Jin Yongnian, Chen Feng's mood was understandably not good.
He put down his phone, pondering with a sowhat gloomy expression about how to escape the covetousness and entanglent of the old woman Sun Yanhong. As for revenge, Chen Feng couldn't think of any good way for the ti being.
Truth be told, he didn't have a wide or strong network to rely on, with the only notable connection being Tao Yaoyang, a second-generation, and as for his good buddy Qin Zhen, who was principled, it was impossible for Chen Feng to deliberately target and retaliate against soone.
Even Liu ijun, a local successful woman, was wary of Sun Yanhong, and Jin Yongnian, a seasoned local businessman, held her in awe, indicating she was a formidable figure locally.
An ordinary person truly couldn't afford to provoke her.
Chen Feng, as an outsider, couldn't afford to provoke her either, but being constantly watched by her was definitely uncomfortable and displeasing.
Chen Feng wanted to make another call to Sun Yanhong to warn her again or curse her out, but after so consideration, he ultimately decided against it.
The reason was simple, he was sowhat afraid of this woman—if he cursed too harshly and offended her into becoming an enemy, it was unnecessary; if he cursed too lightly, it would be soft and without practical action, making the other party think he was weak and easy to bully, possibly leading her to exploit the situation more.
Instead of this, it was better not to say much to her and directly block her number.
He also considered asking Tao Yaoyang to step in and resolve the issue, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.
Whether Tao Yaoyang could resolve it with Sun Yanhong or not, even if he did, Chen Feng would owe him a big favor.
For this trivial matter, it was not worth it.
So, after frowning and thinking for a while, Chen Feng still couldn't think of a way to deal with Sun Yanhong.
He could only hope for his super luck, excluding rotten peach blossom luck, of course.
Being targeted by an old woman like Sun Yanhong was a kind of rotten peach blossom luck.
...
anwhile, Jin Yongnian contacted Shi Xiangnan and ntioned that Chen Feng agreed to et him, though the eting was changed from a al to tea. The location was at the Ancient Charm Tea House.
This tea house is quite well-known locally in Xiu Zhou. It's an old tea house, and most local people of Jin Yongnian and Shi Xiangnan's age know it.
Seeing that Jin Yongnian actually successfully persuaded Chen Feng, who was willing to et him, Shi Xiangnan wasn't really happy.
Because he clearly understood that even if they t again, Chen Feng was unlikely to change his attitude.
Just like Chen Feng said himself, he didn't lack money, and was even very wealthy, so why would he sacrifice his dignity to accompany the flirtatious old woman Sun Yanhong?
This ti, the reason he went around contacting Jin Yongnian and asked him to reach out to Chen Feng for another eting wasn't his intention but rather Sun Yanhong's.
Mainly because Sun Yanhong wanted to et Chen Feng, but she couldn't invite him directly, so she ca up with this plan.
At the ti when he ets with Chen Feng, Sun Yanhong would pretend to coincidentally bump into them, and with him and Jin Yongnian as the elders, she, being their old friend, Chen Feng should show so respect to the elders.
By then, both Jin Yongnian and Sun Yanhong would play peacemakers, apologizing to Chen Feng formally and resolving any previous misunderstandings.
Sun Yanhong's plan made Jin Yongnian quite frustrated, and although he resisted, the conditions she offered were hard to refuse: if he agreed, she would let him enter part of the tower project shares she held.
Shi Xiangnan couldn't refuse these terms and quickly agreed after hesitating for just a few seconds.
Even though he agreed, his heart was definitely uncomfortable.
Therefore, after learning from Sun Yanhong that Jin Yongnian's daughter was one of Chen Feng's won, he couldn't help but leak information about Liu Ying to Jin Yongnian, including Liu Ying being pregnant with Chen Feng's child, which was intentionally to cause trouble for Chen Feng and make him unhappy.
Although Jin Yongnian was unaware of his revenge intentions, he knew Shi Xiangnan wasn't being kind with this disclosure.
Now that Chen Feng finally agreed to et with Shi Xiangnan, Jin Yongnian took the opportunity to claim credit: "Old Shi, I really lowered my pride for you this ti to persuade Chen Feng to agree to et you. You owe a favor."
Shi Xiangnan didn't appreciate it and replied coldly: "You should be owing a favor instead. I was the one who inford you about his dealings with my wife's niece; otherwise, you'd still be in the dark, and so would your daughter. You arranging a eting with him is a small favor, but revealing that information to you is a huge favor, as it concerns your daughter's lifelong happiness."
"Bullshit!" Jin Yongnian retorted irritably, "Do you think I don't know you're being malicious? You're amazing, selling out your wife's niece so easily."
"You, old brat, really don't consider my kindness, just like back then. I sincerely treated you as a friend, and you damn well turned around and opened a trading company like I did, competing with ."
Shi Xiangnan said, still with lingering resentnt.
"How many years ago was that?" Jin Yongnian argued confidently, "You weren't the only one opening a trading company back then; didn't you learn from others as well?"
"Sure, I learned from others, but I wasn't as insidious as you, directly learning and taking my clients."
"Co on, it's been so long. My company is sold, and I'm retired; yet you keep holding onto it, is it even interesting?"
"That's because you lack skill; with your diocre business skills, it's normal to close down after failing to steal my essence."
"Bullshit, when did my company close down? It was sold. I enjoy a carefree early retirent, living more comfortably than you, an old fellow running around."
"I can't be bothered talking to you. Tomorrow morning at nine, Ancient Charm Tea House, right?"
"No." Jin Yongnian said irritably, "Is that the way to ask for a favor?"
"I'm not asking you for a favor; I don't have that kind of influence." Shi Xiangnan sneered, "If it weren't for Sun Yanhong stepping in, would you, an old brat, help arrange a eting with him?"
"Hmph, you really know yourself well."
"That settles it; I'm hanging up."
Before Jin Yongnian could respond, Shi Xiangnan hung up, leaving Jin Yongnian cursing "bastard" out of anger.
...
In a spacious apartnt of a landmark tower by the Riverside, Sun Yanhong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in her robe, overlooking the dazzling night scene of the city, holding a cup of limited-edition red wine in her hand.
These past few days, she had been living alone in this apartnt without external interference, having already kicked out the young puppy who had previously clashed with Chen Feng with a swift kick.
