"What the hell are you standing there for when I told you to do it?" Miao Tianyu roared and kicked Yang Quanxin.
"I...I..." Yang Quanxin looked troubled. Although he wanted to please Miao Tianyu, it wasn't worth it if he got fired because of him.
"Alright, this isn't something that can be solved by fighting," Yan Bin said from the side.
The others chimed in, all of them part of the same circle. Lu Feng hadn't offended Miao Tianyu today, but rather the people in this circle.
"We have to get this back, or I'm done for. Yan Bin, say something." Miao Tianyu looked at Yan Bin, still cursing under his breath.
"Go back to him. It's shameful to be bullied by someone like that. We'll have to come back in our senior year. I bet that kid will use some tricks to fool Han Jiaoyue. Does he even deserve to be a billionaire?"
Having received a positive reply, Miao Tianyu felt much better. He was from out of town, while Yan Bin was different; he was a local and had a lot of influence in the area, so taking down Lu Feng would be a piece of cake for him.
The ball had ended, but everyone's gossipy nature continued, and they were even more enthusiastic about it. After leaving the small auditorium, Han Jiaoyue kept pestering Lu Feng.
Lu Feng pulled her aside and made a few perfunctory remarks. Now he needed to establish a closer relationship with Jin Tingting as soon as possible. After working so hard for so long, now was the crucial moment.
"Go back first, see you tomorrow!" Lu Feng waved to her repeatedly.
Back beside Jin Tingting, seeing the curiosity in her eyes, he asked, "How much money did you give her?"
“I didn’t give her any money. I just talked to her a lot of things. Let’s not talk about that anymore. Are you sleepy?” Lu Feng asked.
"Thank you so much. This whole thing has been keeping me up at night lately. Actually, I hate not only Miao Tianyu but also Han Jiaoyue. Tonight was quite a show." Jin Tingting let out a long sigh of relief, looking very relaxed.
"It's nothing, it's what I should do. How about we go to West Lake for a while? I've heard that West Lake is very beautiful at night, but unfortunately I haven't had time to go. I just rented a car today." Lu Feng noticed that many people around him were whispering and discussing, and the environment wasn't good.
"Isn't it a bit late?" Jin Tingting glanced at her watch; it was already 10 p.m. However, since Lu Feng had done her such a big favor, she felt bad refusing and nodded in agreement, saying, "I need to lock the door tonight and go home early."
"no problem!"
The car sped out of the campus and headed straight for West Lake, which was only a 20-minute drive away. West Lake was exceptionally quiet under the night sky, with only a few scattered lights and the moon guarding the place.
The Leifeng Pagoda, not far away, looked rather old. Apart from a few clean spots, many areas were overgrown with weeds and unmanaged. After all, the municipal government doesn't have much money these days, so this place is only cleaned up when tourists come.
The lake water rippled gently as Lu Feng sat on a stone bench, watching the moonlight refracted by the water. This was his first time at West Lake. He knew that ten years ago, a young man had worked as a translator here, five years ago he was invited abroad, nine years later he would start a company, and twenty years later he would tell you that he had no interest in money.
The stars were shining brightly, and the night breeze was gentle, giving people an indescribable sense of comfort. Jin Tingting secretly glanced at Lu Feng and found that he seemed a little dazed.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Lu Feng sighed as he came back to his senses and said, "It's just that things are difficult to handle."
"You came here on business, but it didn't go well?"
“Actually, I’m really depressed. You don’t know how much money my company owes. It’s been developing with debt, and now we’re in court.” Lu Feng took several deep breaths, his eyes already red, and then he choked up and cried, “I’m really… really having such a hard time.”
"You...you...don't cry!" Jin Tingting was completely flustered and didn't know what to do.
"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing. I just feel like we're friends, and I don't know who else to talk to."
“We’re friends. You seem to be doing quite well outside, but I didn’t expect you to be having such a hard time. Should I tell my dad?” Jin Tingting suggested.
In the dim light, a hint of joy flashed in Lu Feng's eyes, which he quickly concealed. Wiping away his tears, he said, "Really, there's no need. I just didn't know who to tell. You have no idea how much that company bullies people."
Lu Feng embellished the story, naturally exaggerating it to successfully portray Wahaha as a ruthless and sinister villain, while Lu Feng was depicted as a big-eyed, innocent, and conscientious entrepreneur.
"This is too much!" Jin Tingting couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this. She had read some newspapers and knew a little about what had happened. She said, "I have to talk to my dad about this."
"No, absolutely not! Just because you consider me a friend doesn't mean you can tell your dad. It makes it sound like I'm pulling strings. Let me tell you, if you tell your dad, we're no longer friends, and I'll really turn against you!"
Lu Feng stood up and spoke to her in a righteous and righteous tone.
Jin Tingting looked at him and sighed, "You're just too naive and honest!"
