After all, most gold prospectors are like this, let alone the top performers in the gold prospecting world.
Unexpectedly, the gold rush champion turned out to be Chen Feng.
He was clean all over, had fair skin, was quite handsome, had a scholarly air about him, and most importantly, was very young.
If Xia Yingying hadn't known he was a gold prospector, she would have definitely thought he was a college student at first glance, and would never have considered him as a gold prospector.
His style is indeed quite different from that of a typical gold prospector.
“But we can’t always shop in the same place, right? I heard there are quite a few goods here, so I thought I’d give it a try,” Chen Feng replied.
"Haha, I didn't expect to run into you here, what a coincidence!" The companion even wanted to take a photo with Chen Feng.
After all, Chen Feng is currently the most popular contestant in the hillside gold panning scene.
The fact that they made 400,000 in three days has been a topic of much discussion.
Before he could continue speaking, a boisterous man burst in. The man was burly, with dark skin and a hoarse voice, as if he had been indulging in excessive smoking and drinking for years.
He came in full of anger, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Whose beat-up Wuling is parked in my spot? Move it right now, it's making it impossible for me to park!"
"Don't you know that's my spot? Are you blind? Who did this?"
There was only one Wuling van in the yard, which naturally belonged to Chen Feng.
At first, the two men looked at Chen Feng without saying a word. Upon hearing this, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, somewhat displeased.
He had just arrived and didn't know if he had actually taken someone else's parking spot, or if the man was being unreasonable.
So Chen Feng wasn't that tough, but he wasn't polite either.
"What's wrong with mine?" Chen Feng glanced at the man and said indifferently.
Xia Yingying stood at the top of the stairs with her arms crossed, watching them with great interest, wondering how Chen Feng would resolve this matter.
Is it better to meekly endure being bullied, not daring to utter a sound even when insulted, and obediently moving the car outside, or to stand firm and get into a conflict with a man?
Chen Feng didn't seem like the kind of thug who was tough and roguish. He was a big, strong man. Would he dare to get into a conflict with him?
"What's wrong? What's wrong? You even parked this beat-up Wuling in the parking space? Get out here and move it right now. What kind of trash are you? Are you even fully grown up yet, trying to make your fortune like everyone else?"
The man scoffed and looked at Chen Feng with utter disdain.
Chen Feng's car was indeed in a sorry state; the bottom was covered in mud, and the surface was dusty and gray.
He originally intended to go home and wash up, but he was in a hurry to get out and earn money, so he was too lazy to wash up and just drove off like that.
"Is that parking space his? Is it in his name?" Chen Feng turned to look at Xia Yingying.
Xia Yingying shook her head.
"The parking spaces here are not named. Anyone who wants to park can park here. I don't care."
Having received a definite answer, Chen Feng glanced back at the man.
"It's not yours, and it doesn't have your name on it, so why are you calling me 'Mom'?"
"I was here first, so I have to give you my parking spot. Who do you think you are?"
"Don't even mention a beat-up Wuling, even if it were just a beat-up four-wheeler, I'd park here today, what can you do about it?"
When he's out and about, Chen Feng doesn't want to get into conflicts with people, but sometimes if you're too honest, you'll definitely get bullied.
That's society for you; people always pick on the weak.
But if you're going to pin this on Chen Feng, then you're blind. Do you really think Chen Feng is some kind of good person?
Chen Feng's words surprised everyone present.
Xia Yingying raised an eyebrow, completely surprised that Chen Feng would say that.
The dark-faced man seemed to have misheard, and frowned as he approached Chen Feng.
"No, you little brat, what did you say? Say it again!"
His burly physique was indeed intimidating when he stood before Chen Feng.
Unfortunately, this approach didn't work on Chen Feng. Chen Feng stared at him without backing down, his eyes filled with coldness.
"I'm not moving an inch, what are you going to do about it?"
Chen Feng silently placed his right hand on his lower back.
There was a steel bar there, the one Chen Feng had always carried with him.
Chen Feng kept it because he found it easy to use.
Xia Yingying, who was behind him, naturally saw this scene and frowned slightly.
She didn't want any conflict to happen here; it would be bad if the bottles and jars were broken, as everything here was quite valuable.
"Hmph, you're poor but you're acting all high and mighty even though you drive a beat-up Wuling. Here's two hundred, go outside and move your car."
The man gave a mocking smile, took out his wallet from his pocket, and was about to give Chen Feng two bills.
Chen Feng almost laughed out of anger when he saw his actions, while the man's companion next to him couldn't help but chuckle.
The man turned around at the laughter, his eyes slightly narrowed, wondering what was so funny.
"Dude, you probably don't know who he is."
"If you give me this two hundred yuan, I'll definitely move the car right away, and I bet everyone else would do the same."
"But your two hundred dollars doesn't seem to be of much use to him," the man said, trying to suppress a laugh.
"What, you think it's not enough? Is five hundred enough?"
Although the man felt a little pained, he had to grit his teeth and keep up the act since things had gone this far.
He counted out five hundred yuan and handed it to Chen Feng, his face full of confidence. In his opinion, no one would disagree with giving up a parking space for five hundred yuan.
However, Chen Feng ignored him completely, and the person next to him couldn't help but speak up.
"Come on, buddy, get out of here. The guy in front of you is Li Erchun, the gold mining champion. He made over 400,000 yuan in three days."
"You're still trying to act like a big shot in front of them. Can you even afford to pretend? They drive Wulings simply because they're low-key, unlike us."
"What others do in three days is enough for you to do in a year. You should put it away now." The man waved his hand, giving him a way out.
"ah?"
The man was stunned when he heard this, staring at Chen Feng in disbelief.
This kid looks fair-skinned and doesn't look like a gold prospector at all. How could he be the gold prospecting champion at Li Erchun's mine?
He knew about the event, but he was in another mining area at the time and missed it.
He only knew that the first Taobao seller had spent over 400,000 yuan, and he didn't pay attention to anything else.
He never expected to run into this champion here, and to make matters worse, he had actually shown off in front of him…
This is like showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu—pure clown behavior.
The man paused for a moment, put the money away, gave an awkward chuckle, and tried to save face.
"Haha, I know who you are. Of course I know. I was just joking with you. You didn't realize, did you?" The man patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and laughed.
Chen Feng scoffed, not even bothering to look at him.
"Um, I'll give you the money first, and then I'll shop around here tomorrow. Leave the money here, I have something to do, I'll head out now."
The man put the money on the table and started muttering to himself, seemingly to no one.
After saying that, he ran away without looking back. It was just too embarrassing!
