Social connections and networks are built through these interactions where you help and I help you.
As long as you live in this society, it's hard to escape this complex of human relationships.
Even though Chen Feng has always seed aloof and avoided much interaction with the outside world, reality compels him to engage with people, both actively and passively, building relationships and sotis creating complications.
However, asking Cai Zhixin for help to resolve this matter is quite appropriate.
After Chen Feng wrapped up his call with him, about ten minutes later, he received a phone call from Xiao Ya.
"The landlord just called to apologize, saying they'll quickly restore electricity to our shop, and they're willing to continue renting it to us without raising the rent. Chen Feng, how did you manage this?"
Xiao Ya was excited, puzzled, and curious. She thought Chen Feng might be able to solve this problem since he's wealthy, but she didn't expect him to resolve it so swiftly and cleanly in less than an hour. She was very curious about how Chen Feng did it.
Chen Feng didn't feign mystery or intentionally conceal anything, briefly explaining the reasons, and ended by saying: "They only have one son who holds a stable job in a public institution. Naturally, they don't want him to get into trouble at work and lose his job, so they could only apologize to you and reconcile."
"Your friend is quite impressive to know his son's boss; you should definitely thank him."
"Yeah, I'll treat him to dinner next ti."
"That's right, maybe I should go with you to thank him in person."
"There's no need for that. I'm quite close with him, and if there's any favor owed, it's mine, not for you to thank."
Of course, Chen Feng didn't want to bring her along to et Cai Zhixin, nor did he want her to join the dinner, which would inevitably lead to misunderstandings.
He's already distanced himself from Xiao Ya and doesn't want to maintain much contact.
"Alright. I'll let you know once the shop's electricity is restored. By the way, the landlord wants to invite us for a al to apologize in person. Do you think we should accept?"
Chen Feng had no ti to et with the landlord couple, so he imdiately refused: "eting again is unnecessary. Just tell them that as long as they restore the electricity and continue renting the shop to us, we'll leave it at that. We can all go on peacefully."
"Alright. I understand. I'll tell them."
Xiao Ya felt a bit disappointed but also relieved since the landlord shouldn't cause any more trouble, and the tea shop wouldn't need to find a new location and could continue operating.
After hanging up, Chen Feng put the matter aside, as he wasn't interested in the small tea shop business, mainly not wanting to have much entanglent with Xiao Ya.
He continued staying at ho, reading novels and watching films, and the next two days beca peaceful again.
In the evening, he didn't go out for social gatherings; Zhang Yuxi and Jin Xinyan were busy with their filming schedules, often shooting night scenes and naturally didn't have ti to hang out with him.
Even Yang Wenqi stopped sending annoying ssages, letting Chen Feng finally return to being a quiet gentleman.
One day, Qin Zhen, who he hadn't seen for a while, called, inviting him over for dinner.
Although Chen Feng didn't want to go, he couldn't refuse the invitation from his only close friend.
So he drove over, bought three pounds of apples from a fruit shop next to Qin Zhen's housing complex, placed them in a plastic bag, and went in.
Qin Zhen opened the door, amused when he saw Chen Feng carrying a bag of apples: "Since when have you beco so polite? Bringing fruit when visiting?"
Chen Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably: "I bought them for Pei Lei."
"Aren't you stingy? Just bringing fruit as a gift? And only this little."
"I could get her ninety-nine roses, would you like that? Move aside! You're blocking the way."
Chen Feng pushed him aside and went in, changing his shoes.
Qin Zhen said helplessly: "Alright. You're the boss."
They went inside the room and saw Pei Lei busy in the kitchen. After greeting Chen Feng, she went back to cooking.
Since Qin Zhen decided not to dwell on Pei Lei's family and health issues, they have been living together.
After he brought her over, her depression naturally healed without dication, and their days have been sweet and comfortable. Every ti Chen Feng talked on the phone with Qin Zhen, he boasted about how considerate and capable Pei Lei was in doing housework, how delicious her cooking was, and how attentive she was in caring for him.
It was clear that Qin Zhen's words conveyed happiness and sweetness.
Therefore, even if not at ho, Chen Feng wouldn't intentionally disturb their world for two.
"You sure got lucky with such a good woman willing to take care of you like a free housekeeper."
Chen Feng was genuinely envious of Qin Zhen.
Although Pei Lei's mother had a ntal illness, and she experienced depression too, besides those, Pei Lei was undoubtedly a wonderful woman, gentle and caring, a talented designer making money, beautiful, and skilled both in the living room and kitchen.
Most importantly, it was apparent that Pei Lei truly loved Qin Zhen, which was especially precious.
And Qin Zhen's choice not to mind her flaws clearly showed he loved her too.
