Wu ngting listened and her lively eyes couldn't help but dart around. She didn't ask anything further and pulled Zhao Xiaolan to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.
Chen Feng followed behind, entering his own house directly and went to the bedroom extension at the back. He took a refreshing shower and then picked up his phone to check the unread ssages that had co in earlier.
Guo ngyao, Lin Yujiao, Fang Xiaoyue, and even Wang Fang were among several won who had sent him ssages.
Guo ngyao asked if he wanted to have supper together tonight, which was undoubtedly a very obvious hint. Chen Feng originally didn't want to reply, but seeing her pitiful, he eventually replied with a "Not going."
Lin Yujiao asked when he would be back, and Chen Feng replied saying it'd be a few days.
Fang Xiaoyue asked if he had ti tonight, to which Chen Feng replied "Busy."
Wang Fang complained to him that her husband saw him driving her ho in a Cayenne, suspecting her suspiciously.
Chen Feng looked at it once but didn't reply.
Additionally, Jin Xinyan left a ssage asking when he was planning to head to Shen City for the Zhao Shengsheng headquarters, and Chen Feng replied tomorrow, specific ti yet to be determined.
Other routine ssages from won ca through, but Chen Feng didn't reply after reading them.
Finally, Chen Feng proactively sent a WeChat ssage to Sun Xiaorui, asking if she had returned to the hotel.
Sun Xiaorui replied almost instantly, saying she was already back and had just finished showering.
Thinking it over, Chen Feng asked her if she wanted to co to his place as a guest to formally et his parents.
Sun Xiaorui clearly hesitated for quite a while before replying: "Isn't Tingting already at your ho? What would I be doing there? How do you introduce ?"
Chen Feng replied: "Just say you're my secretary now, how about it?"
"Better not. I don't want Tingting to misunderstand."
Seeing her say that, Chen Feng didn't press further: "Alright then, as long as you don't feel aggrieved."
"I don't feel aggrieved, because I never expected anything from the start."
Sun Xiaorui's attitude pleased Chen Feng, making him smile inadvertently. He did imply a bit of testing in his words earlier.
If Sun Xiaorui had imdiately agreed and said she wanted to visit his ho, she would definitely lose points in Chen Feng's eyes.
Amongst all these won, indeed Sun Xiaorui remains the most considerate and proper one.
If all his other won were as sensible and understanding as Sun Xiaorui, he wouldn't have to exert so much effort.
...
In an elegantly serene tea room, Guo ngyao, Fang Xiaoyue, and Cheng Yuhuan sat together.
Originally, Guo ngyao wanted to head straight ho but was held back by Cheng Yuhuan who said there was sothing to discuss.
Thus, the two headed to this privately reserved residential tea room, a location Fang Xiaoyue had taken Guo ngyao to before. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary residence, but inside it's decorated into separate tea rooms available for monthly or yearly lease — totaling five rooms, with great privacy.
The last ti Guo ngyao was brought here by Fang Xiaoyue, she found it interesting and rented a tea room herself for a year. It suits occasions like this, where she can bring people over to chat without external disturbance.
On the way, Fang Xiaoyue contacted Guo ngyao asking where she was, and Guo ngyao explained, leading to Fang Xiaoyue joining in as well.
Guo ngyao couldn't refuse, thus agreeing.
Once settled, with tea brewed, the trio sat down. Guo ngyao took the initiative to ask Cheng Yuhuan, "What is it you wanted to discuss with ? You can speak now, right?"
Cheng Yuhuan glanced at the curious looking Fang Xiaoyue, and without hesitation, said, "I have a stash of five million that I plan to invest in a project. Do you have any good project suggestions?"
Upon hearing this, Guo ngyao showed no reaction, but Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but comnt sourly: "Indeed, doing well isn't as good as marrying well. Your stash is what us ordinary folks strive their whole lives for."
Cheng Yuhuan retorted with a laugh: "You're envious of , but I'm envious of you. No matter what, you have high social status, secured salary, never a worry for the rest of your life."
Fang Xiaoyue jokingly proposed: "Then how about we swap, can we?"
Cheng Yuhuan replied with a smile: "Sure."
"Xiao Yue, stop interrupting, okay? We're discussing serious matters." Guo ngyao frowned.
"Got it, I won't speak further, continue." Fang Xiaoyue imdiately shut up.
Only then did Guo ngyao say: "You know the current economic environnt too. The traditional industries struggle to make money now. I don't have a good project introduction for you at the mont. However, isn't our class monitor also looking for projects? You might talk to him."
Cheng Yuhuan imdiately shook her head: "Better not, else I'd end up being duped and helping him count the money. The class monitor is no longer the sa as before. Now, he seems like a big talker, profiting off blockchain and buying a house worth over twenty million in full in Beijing, which may be true, yet he gives off an erratic, unstable feeling."
Fang Xiaoyue nodded in agreent: "That's right. Initially, I didn't overthink, accepting whatever he said. But the more he says, the more I feel he's not grounded unlike Chen Feng."
Cheng Yuhuan teased: "Oh my, you're interested in Chen Feng too?"
Fang Xiaoyue retorted: "What do you an, 'too'? Are you interested in Chen Feng as well?"
"No way, I have a husband." Cheng Yuhuan countered before explaining, "I was talking about Zhao Zixuan — she is also interested in Chen Feng. If both of you are also interested, then, hoho, the competition pressure is pretty intense."
At the end, Cheng Yuhuan looked at the two with a mischievous smile.
Guo ngyao frowned and asked: "How do you know Zhao Zixuan is interested in Chen Feng? This shouldn't be possible, right? Doesn't she know Chen Feng has been married and divorced?"
Cheng Yuhuan laughed: "ngyao, looks like you really have sothing going with Chen Feng, judging by how nervous you seem."
Guo ngyao retorted, "I do have sothing with him, so what? We're both unmarried now, mutual willingness, having sothing going is perfectly normal."
Cheng Yuhuan exclaid, visibly startled: "Damn! You really got together with Chen Feng!"
Guo ngyao frowned: "Why, is that not allowed?"
Cheng Yuhuan shook her head with a bitter smile: "Previously, I was half-believing it, thinking your achievents now shouldn't align with a relationship with Chen Feng, but surprisingly, truly surprisingly."
Guo ngyao asked: "You think Chen Feng isn't suitable for ?"
Cheng Yuhuan replied: "Not at all, he fits you well above standards. I just feel that with your assets over a billion, you shouldn't act impulsively in feelings."
Guo ngyao laughed: "What billion plus assets? The billion is my entire company's overall valuation. Upon cashing out, it'd be rely a few billion, possibly even less, and I occupy just the major shares with two other shareholders. Ultimately, I'd have just millions for myself. While Chen Feng has at least over a hundred million cash on hand, he's far more affluent than I am now."
