On the contrary, Guo often took the initiative to talk to Chen Feng, being very polite, while Chen Feng usually acted indifferent towards her.
So, it was only natural that Pu Fangye harbored a lot of jealousy towards Chen Feng, and thus conflicts between them were inevitable.
Of course, this happened a long ti ago, and Chen Feng was too lazy to share his current speculations and analyses with Guo ngyao. He just asked curiously: "What is Pu Fangye doing now? He should be married with kids by now, right?"
Guo ngyao sneered disdainfully and said: "The last ti he asked to borrow money from , he said he invested in a ceramic factory worth tens of millions in Jiangxi Province. It's just been built, and the sales market hasn't opened yet, so he has so cash flow issues. He also said he spent millions buying a factory in Gui Province, renting it out every year for more than two hundred thousand. He also bought large apartnts in Beijing, Shanghai, and Lu City, with monthly mortgage paynts of over ten thousand. Even if what he said is true, that's about it."
Guo ngyao clearly didn't have a good impression of Pu Fangye, her tone full of disdain and disbelief.
Chen Feng obviously had no good impression of this Pu classmate either. Hearing her talk like this, he just smiled, then asked: "Are you sure Cheng Yuhuan and Zhao Zixuan are both coming this ti? Especially Zhao Zixuan, she's in Shanghai. Is she really willing to co all that way?"
Guo ngyao nodded and said: "Of course, they both said in the group chat that they'd definitely co, and barring any accidents, they should be here."
"That's rare. I rember Qin Zhen tried to pursue Cheng Yuhuan back in the day but wasn't successful. Still, they are quite familiar with each other, so it makes sense for Cheng Yuhuan to co. But Zhao Zixuan didn't really have any connection with Qin Zhen back then, did she? Their relationship was quite average. Is she really coming all that way?"
Chen Feng was skeptical about whether Zhao Zixuan would actually co.
Hearing Chen Feng say this, Guo ngyao hesitated: "I'm not sure, but she did say she'd co in the group chat, so she should be coming. We can ask again tomorrow. Yuhan lives around Le City now, so it's only an hour on the highway to Lin Nan. There's a 99% chance she'll co."
Le City is also part of Lu City, a county-level city.
Chen Feng laughed and said: "If Cheng Yuhuan cos, most of the boys in our class should co too."
Guo ngyao rolled her eyes at him and said: "Including you, right?"
Chen Feng rolled his eyes back at her and said: "With my relationship with Qin Zhen, how could I not co?"
Guo ngyao couldn't refute this. Interestingly enough, during high school, Chen Feng wasn't particularly close with anyone, but he had a very good relationship with Qin Zhen, despite their personalities being miles apart.
"I need to tell you, there are a few guys in our class who have shown interest in , especially that Pu Fangye. Even though he has a wife and kid, he harasses all the ti, either checking in on on WeChat morning, noon, and night, using various excuses to contact , or inviting out for als. Even after I've scolded him several tis, he hasn't changed much. Do you have any ideas for getting this guy to disappear from my sight?"
Chen Feng laughed and said: "Should I find soone to get rid of him?"
Guo ngyao glared at him: "Sure, get soone to turn him into a concrete block and throw it into the sea."
Chen Feng suggested: "Why don't you just publicly berate him in the class group chat, so he can have a social death?"
Guo ngyao said a bit helplessly: "Do you think I haven't done that? Just a few days ago, I publicly scolded him in the group chat, telling him not to harass anymore. But the next day, he showed up here with a big bunch of tulips, saying he wanted to apologize. I wouldn't let him in, so he just stood at the factory gate holding those tulips. It was embarrassing. Do you think I'm mad?"
"This guy truly has thick skin. How about directly contacting his wife and telling her about this? Maybe she'll educate him a bit."
Guo ngyao shook her head: "It's useless; his wife is completely under his control. I found out from so inquiries that his wife is very honest. She stays ho handling kids and housework, and as long as he gives her enough living expenses each month, she doesn't care what he does outside."
Chen Feng teased: "His wife is quite generous. Who knows if she's put a green hat on him?"
"Who knows? I've heard from so classmates who know Pu Fangye well that he often hangs out at KTVs and nightclubs, so he must be neglecting his wife. It wouldn't be surprising if she cheated on him."
After thinking for a mont, Chen Feng said: "Okay then, the day after the banquet, I'll have a chat with him and make him back down."
Guo ngyao imdiately beca interested and asked: "How are you going to make him back down?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "I'll just tell him you're my woman and that he should stay away, or I'll be unkind to him."
Guo ngyao sneered: "He definitely won't listen to you. So how will you be unkind to him? Find soone to beat him up?"
"Hitting soone is illegal. Just report him to the police for sexual harassnt then. With soone this thick-skinned, only the police and the law can handle him."
Guo ngyao was dissatisfied: "What good does reporting do? The police would at most give him a verbal warning, with little real punishnt."
Chen Feng spread his hands, feigning helplessness: "Then I have no solution. Perhaps you could have your dad get so friends from the underworld to warn him. That's also a decent idea."
Her dad left a very strong impression on Chen Feng—he was a bald guy with a tattoo on his neck, clearly soone involved in society, knowing characters from all walks of life. More importantly, her dad was quite wealthy and was recognized as a significant private entrepreneur in Lin Nan.
Guo ngyao angrily said: "If I had to ask my dad to solve it, why would I ask for your help?"
Seeing she was actually a bit angry, Chen Feng quickly and seriously said: "Alright, alright, I'll ask Qin Zhen to help solve it. You know I don't have much influence around here, but Qin Zhen does. If he steps in to warn Pu Fangye, it should intimidate him."
Qin Zhen's family's background in Lin Nan was quite good. Not the top, but they were part of the wealthy and influential upper class, with several relatives working within the system. He himself held a departntal-level position, so calling him promising wasn't an exaggeration.
But Guo ngyao persisted: "What if even Qin Zhen can't help?"
Chen Feng questioned: "Qin Zhen's warning can't possibly be ineffective, can it? Does this guy's family background compare to Qin Zhen's?"
Guo ngyao said: "Though this guy's background isn't as good as Qin Zhen's, he's still quite reputable around Lin Nan. His father was one of the first batch of private entrepreneurs here and knew my dad. Had he not died early, he might have been even wealthier than my dad."
"Did his father die?" Chen Feng was a bit surprised. They were all peers, and normally, his father would only be in his fifties or sixties.
"Yes, he died several years ago, I think almost a decade ago during a sumr vacation when I was still in college. It was cancer, and both my father and I attended the morial. It was very grand, with more than a thousand people attending the procession. It was quite a spectacle. His father was an extraordinary person, but unfortunately, his son is a failure. He should have inherited the family business—not saying he had to make it bigger, but at least maintain it.
In the end, he directly sold his father's hard-earned chanical factory, only getting twenty to thirty million at the ti, and now that factory is worth at least over a billion. Over the years, he must have squandered most of his family's savings. He's just a loser."
In high school, Chen Feng knew that Pu Fangye's family was wealthy, but he hadn't realized they were that wealthy. It explained why this guy was so arrogant and domineering.
Thinking back, it was fortunate for him to befriend Qin Zhen; otherwise, provoking soone like Pu Fangye back then could have led to trouble. Qin Zhen probably secretly warned the other side, preventing further issues.
That's why they say, it's quality over quantity when it cos to friends. Making one true friend is far more useful than having a hundred superficial friends.
"Since his father has been dead for so many years, what does he have to rely on? Is his mother formidable? Don't worry; with Qin Zhen's current status, and his family's influence in our county, Pu Fangye definitely has to listen to him. Otherwise, given my relationship with Qin Zhen, we can always have Qin Zhen make trouble for him."
