Chapter 69 - Collapse
Chapter 69 - Collapse
Ning Fei quickly noticed that there must be a rift between Ji Xingzhe and Zhu Yueting.
There were a few times when he saw Ji Xingzhe walking on the campus, either from afar or nearby, and the people around him had changed from groups of three or five to just one or two. Sometimes it was someone in the same grade, sometimes it was that senior student, but never Zhu Yueting. This is very strange, because it is very common to see Zhu Yueting go to find Ji Xingzhe as soon as the class is over, and it is even more common for them to go in and out together once the get out of class is over. If it weren't for Ji Xingzhe's image as a good student and the fact that they would gather together with other childhood friends whenever they went out, the school would probably have to deal with their "premature love problem."
But now, it is hard to tell whether Ji Xingzhe no longer likes the hustle and bustle or doesn't like to see Zhu Yueting alone. Anyway, any classmate who walks around him will not be Zhu Yueting.
——Ah...Did Duan Yunhong complain to his father, saying that he revealed that the Ji family was going to Shenzhen to develop, which caused him to vent his anger on Zhu Yueting now?
But whether it was "false accusation of cheating" or revealing going to Shenzhen City, didn't the main problem lie with Ji Xingzhe himself? Moreover, Ji Xingzhe doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would decisively abandon his partner just because his “companion made a mistake”, not to mention that Zhu Yueting is obviously “quite useful”. There must be a special reason why Ji Xingzhe chose to treat her the way he does now.
Either the Ji family gave him some suggestions, or... he planned to use this method to silently influence others, making other companions and even Ji family members think that "Zhu Yueting is responsible" for these two farces.
However, Ning Fei would not sit around and keep staring at the two, so he gave the task of "continuous observation" to Lin Shengjia. Lin Shengjia was somewhat speechless: "I'm avoiding these plague gods as much as possible, and you still ask me to observe. What if Ji Xingzhe thinks I'm going to do something and decides to strike first?"
"I told you to keep an eye on him, not to stare at him. You can't even do that?" Ning Fei said, "You'll have to take over the business in the future. If you can't even do the most basic things like observing people's expressions, I advise you to find a professional manager as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to deal with any trouble you have."
Lin Shengjia was a little unconvinced: "Then why don't I just buy a few houses and collect rent, and wait for the demolition?"
"It's a nice dream." Ning Fei sneered, "Then I hope you won't be cheated when you sell your shares for real estate."
Lin Shengjia: "...You won't help me sell it?"
"Why don't you want me to help you through this life?" Ning Fei replied jokingly, "You can't even afford to demolish a few buildings if you want me to be your lifelong housekeeper, so don't dream on. You are lucky to have Duan Yunhong making money for you now. If it weren't for him, who would care whether you are in Shencheng or not?"
Lin Shengjia asked: "If it weren't for him, how would you help me live a good life?"
"It's a humorous question." Ning Fei said confidently, "If you want to live a good life, of course you should motivate yourself to work hard. Why do you want me to build it directly and give it to you for free?"
Mainly, this kind of top-down giving either requires Ning Fei to spend a lot of luck points in the beginning to exchange for a good identity, or requires him to work hard for many years. For Ning Fei, both options are extremely cost-effective. This time Duan Yunhong was here, so Ning Fei simply "took it as it was", otherwise Lin Shengjia wouldn't have had it so easy.
Lin Shengjia asked: "Even if you spur me on, there must be a way for me to become rich, right? What method are you going to use?"
Ning Fei did not answer but asked: "Why, you want to get something for nothing and trick me into telling you how to make money? Go ahead if you want to."
Seeing that he was not interested, Lin Shengjia wanted to deliberately provoke him: "If you don't say it, is there really no way?"
Ning Fei didn't fall for it at all, and used a classic sentence: "If you think so, then I can't help it."
Lin Shengjia: “…”
Afterwards, Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong mentioned this matter, and Duan Yunhong also asked Ning Fei how he planned to make Lin Shengjia "get rich quickly" if he was not there. Ning Fei answered this time: "Ask the Ji family."
Duan Yunhong was puzzled: "But doesn't this violate the rule of staying away from the Ji family?"
"It's just to get the money, not to return to the Ji family. You can ask Ji Xingzhe or Ji Zhenwei for it according to the situation. One of them is afraid of losing his position, and the other is afraid of losing face for the family, so they both have ways to deal with it." Ning Fei shrugged, "Analyze the specific situation. To be extreme, it is not impossible to use the power of the Ji family to send Lin Shengjia abroad to study and live. Asking for a few million in hush money will be enough for his adoptive parents to live."
"Dancing on the edge of a knife." Duan Yunhong commented, "This is not a long-term solution. Lin Shengjia's identity is a time bomb. Even if Ji Zhenwei is willing to let him go because Lin Shengjia is his biological son, Ji Xingzhe will not do so. When this bastard has the ability himself, it will be easy for him to find someone abroad to get rid of Lin Shengjia."
"But by then, I had already completed my debt collection mission. The deal is over, and I am not responsible at all." Ning Fei shrugged. "I sent him to a good university, gave him money, and even sent him abroad. If he still can't survive, then let him die."
Duan Yunhong said: "It seems that you are also good at taking advantage of loopholes. If you become a 'Walker', your life will probably be much more comfortable than it is now."
"Thanks for the invitation, but I won't go." Ning Fei spread his hands and smiled, "I'm fine now. I can lower other people's luck if I want to, and I can raise it if I want to. It's quite interesting."
"You debt collectors all love this?"
There was a hint of mockery in these words. Ning Fei looked at him and did not refute immediately. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Duan Yunhong thought: Bullshit.
Rather than using the rise and fall of luck to torment the time travelers, Ning Fei definitely prefers to play with people's hearts.

As for Lin Shengjia, even if he didn't pay special attention, he would be able to notice the movements of Zhu Yueting and Ji Xingzhe.
Because one morning, Zhu Yueting rushed to Ji Xingzhe as soon as she came to the classroom: "Ji Xingzhe! Did you let others isolate me? I looked for you on the weekend and you said you were busy. I looked for Ran Ge and the others and they also said they were busy. But you all had a party outside yesterday?!"
She didn't control her voice at all, causing the whole class to look over, including Lin Shengjia. People like Ji Xingzhe who think before they act are most afraid of Zhu Yueting's "straight punch". When the whole class focused their attention on him, Ji Xingzhe couldn't help but panic for a few seconds, and barely managed to maintain his composure on the surface: "What are you talking about, Tingting, how could we isolate you? We just happened to meet on the street yesterday and just went for a walk together."
"But my friend said you guys were talking and laughing, and even eating and shopping for clothes together. After such a long time, no one thought of inviting me?" Zhu Yueting was angry and was not so easy to appease. She continued to question, "And why didn't you invite me to dinner recently?"
Ji Xingzhe looked helpless: "I didn't ask anyone else. I have something to do recently, so it's not convenient for me to go with everyone, so I walked alone. Occasionally I met someone on the road, and we just walked together for a while, but we didn't go back together."
"But if you don't call me, why don't others call me?"
"Then you have to ask other people. How would I know?"
"You really weren't the one who started it?" Zhu Yueting confirmed again, "Are you blaming me because of what you said last time... because your family criticized you for that incident? But it's not my fault. I just heard you say..."
"Tingting!" Seeing that Zhu Yueting was getting more and more excited, Ji Xingzhe quickly interrupted her, "It's almost time for morning reading. Go back to your seat. If you have anything to say, we can talk during the lunch break."
Zhu Yueting wanted to say something, but she suddenly realized that the whole class was now silent. She glared at the classmate who was watching the fun most openly. Ning Fei happened to step into the classroom at this moment and said, "Why don't you read early?" Zhu Yueting had to return to her seat in disappointment.
***
When taking extra classes at home that night, Lin Shengjia recounted to Ning Fei what happened before the morning reading session, and commented: "Is Ji Xingzhe stupid? They are a bunch of men, and Zhu Yueting is the only woman. He just said that some topics between boys are not suitable for Zhu Yueting to participate, right?"
"He is a real teenager, just a little more thoughtful and not very good at emergency response." Ning Fei commented, "He shouldn't have distanced himself from Zhu Yueting so blatantly. Zhu Yueting is his most useful 'card', impulsive, irritable, easy to incite, and has a certain family background that allows her to show off. Ji Xingzhe has only met you for less than a semester, and he gave up on this 'thug'. He played a good hand of cards badly. Could it be that he would fail before you even went to college?"
"You make it sound like his friends are just chess pieces. If he has no chess pieces, he can't fight you, right?" Lin Shengjia said, "Besides, whether he falls or not has nothing to do with me. I don't want to be recognized as a member of the Ji family."
"He has always treated others as pawns." Ning Fei sneered, "Those few...even all your classmates, as long as they target you, they will all think that Ji Xingzhe is behind it and will not wrongly accuse him."
Lin Shengjia thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. I feel like the senior high school students in his group are pretty pretentious and probably have a lot of bad intentions."
Ning Fei looked surprised: "Qin Ran? Have you ever been in contact with him?"
Lin Shengjia: "No. But we met face to face a few times. He looked at me with contempt and was not at all concealing it."
"Ha, it's just the characteristics of teenagers. However, he was the one who said that I helped you cheat for the sake of so-called 'teaching career' and good grades." Ning Fei thought for a while, "I will see if there is a chance to alienate him as well."
Lin Shengjia: "...your remarks are horrible. It turns out that you are the one who alienated Zhu Yueting!"
"What are you talking about, classmate Lin? Isn't it Ji Xingzhe and Zhu Yueting who have to blame for everything?" Ning Fei smiled and suddenly thought of someone he hadn't taken care of for a long time. "By the way, how is Luo Chenghong?"
"My uncle? He's still in South City." Lin Shengjia thought for a moment, "But he often asks about you and Mr. Duan..."
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything, just said you should help me with my studies, I don't know anything else."
Ning Fei Yile: "I'll teach you, next time you say this, it's just the two of us..."
