In the end, Chen Feng still didn't accept Huo Jindong's overtures and goodwill.
To soone like him, a venture capital mogul, Chen Feng actually didn't want to get too involved. Because the relationships behind him are too complicated.
This ans trouble. And Chen Feng is soone who hates trouble the most. Naturally, he didn't want to have too deep of a relationship with such a figure.
Regarding this, Huo Jindong still maintained his grace and composure, at least on the surface showing no sign of displeasure, and quickly turned the topic away.
When the dinner was over, at the entrance of Wenhua Inn, Huo Jindong was the first to be picked up by his assistant and driver, and then Tao Yaoyang was also picked up by his driver.
That left Chen Feng and Tang Xinyi, both having driven themselves over, with no drivers or assistants. In this respect, Chen Feng, this billionaire, was indeed very simple and low-key.
"Do you want to give you a ride?" Tang Xinyi proactively asked Chen Feng.
The four of them had dinner together, and the three n, including Chen Feng, had consud so alcohol, so naturally, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to drive. Tang Xinyi hadn't drunk, so she had no problem driving herself.
"No need. I'll call a driving service."
Chen Feng was soone who didn't like to trouble others, and of course, he didn't want others to trouble him either. Although they were considered friends now, both were unmarried, and Chen Feng didn't want their relationship to beco too close. The reason was that he feared she might use it to trouble him in the future.
"It's such a hassle to find a driving service. Why not leave your car here for now? I'll drive you ho first. Besides, I wanted to talk to you about sothing."
After saying this, Tang Xinyi proactively reached out, wrapped her arm around Chen Feng's, and led him toward where her car was parked.
Chen Feng hesitated slightly but didn't resist. After all, if she, a woman, wasn't afraid, then there was nothing for him, a grown man, to be coy about.
If the two were to engage in a friendly match, Tang Xinyi, as the star he once fantasized about, wasn't out of the question for him either.
The two quickly got into Tang Xinyi's vehicle, a white Audi Q7, which was quite comfortable. Chen Feng took in the experience and couldn't help but ask, "How much did you buy this car for?"
As Tang Xinyi started the car, she answered, "Over 800,000, it's considered the top model."
"It feels pretty good." After glancing around the car's interior, Chen Feng admitted this car was much better in terms of interior and comfort compared to his Buick.
It truly felt like it was ti to switch to a car like this.
Though he had plans to buy a new car before, his laziness always delayed taking action. It mainly stems from the fact that now Sun Xiaorui doesn't lack a car to drive, thanks to the BMW Mini that Wu ngting left behind, which she handles quite well.
Moreover, since he didn't go out often, the plan to buy a new car kept being postponed.
Now, having personally sat inside Tang Xinyi's car, feeling the spaciousness, comfort, and luxurious interior, his own car paled in comparison.
He's not short of money, so there's no need to skimp on himself. This over 800,000 car isn't even considered a luxury car in the eyes of truly wealthy people. Besides, the money he earns is legitimate, so driving a better car is no big deal, as long as he doesn't show off or act arrogantly.
"Why did you refuse Mr. Huo, even when he values you so much and proactively tries to pull you in? Can you tell the reason?"
As Tang Xinyi drove, she asked out of feigned curiosity.
"Your curiosity is quite strong. Didn't I already say before? I'm content with little wealth and comfort, not having such ambitious business aspirations, nor a strong desire for money."
"I don't think so. If you're not interested in money, why start a company? I heard you invested in several other companies too," Tang Xinyi expressed disbelief.
Chen Feng corrected her, "It's not lack of interest, but lack of a strong pursuit. Money is a good thing for anyone, but having too much doesn't necessarily an happiness. In my view, if money accumulates too much, troubles and burdens increase. Keeping money and wealth to a certain extent is very necessary for . Otherwise, it leads to trouble and too many worries."
Tang Xinyi laughed and said, "Your perspective is quite novel. It's the first ti I've heard it. All the wealthy people I've known never complained about having too much money. Instead, each desires more and more. Even the world's richest man, I believe, wouldn't mind having more money, but would rather want to earn even more."
Chen Feng also laughed, "Maybe I'm just a bit odd. Human greed is endless; the desire for more and never being satisfied is a universal trait, also a driving force pushing human civilization forward. Otherwise, if everyone were content and complacent, human civilization would struggle to progress."
Tang Xinyi couldn't help but giggle, "Your reasoning seems quite philosophical. According to what you're saying, you're indeed a bit unconventional, making you seem like a transcendent monk or sothing."
Chen Feng thought to himself, if you ever experience a countdown to death or genuine despair, then everything becos clearer, and you can surely transcend.
"Thanks for the complint. However, I'm not so enlightened monk; my seven emotions and six desires are perfectly intact, not much different from other n. I also like won, especially young and beautiful ones."
Said with a hint of flirtation, considering their current relationship, it was harmless.
Tang Xinyi wasn't put off by his joking remarks. Instead, she quickly glanced at him in the passenger seat, smiled, and said, "It's just the two of us in the car now; can you tell the truth? What sort of connections do you have that make Mr. Huo value you so much?"
"It's really not what you think. My family has been poor farrs for generations, truly no remarkable connections."
Chen Feng truly didn't want to pretend to be soone he's not or act mysterious by pulling strings. Of course, he also knew the more he acted this way, the more others would believe he had connections. It's an inevitable thing.
He couldn't directly admit his background was extraordinary, could he? His principles wouldn't let him tell such a big lie deliberately. Moreover, if a lie were exposed later, it would be embarrassing.
Besides, he felt there was no need to gild himself intentionally; he truly didn't need it.
"Your mouth is quite tight, isn't it? Even with just the two of us here, you won't tell . Looks like you don't consider a friend." Toward the end, Tang Xinyi pretended to be upset.
Chen Feng said helplessly, "If you don't believe , there's nothing I can do."
"You really are."
After saying this, Tang Xinyi fell silent.
Chen Feng didn't say anything further, calmly watching the road outside the window.
After a few minutes, Tang Xinyi suddenly spoke, "Alright, I give up. Your sense of secrecy is truly impressive. I'll pretend I never asked. But I do want to ask you a favor; it shouldn't be too difficult for you."
Chen Feng frowned and said, "I already helped you last ti, didn't I? I put in a word for the review of the three movies from your company. Of course, I can't guarantee the outco, but I've helped."
