The young people grew angrier the more they thought about it; how could they have suffered such a great injustice?
Seeing everyone's angry expressions, Yezai quickly advised, "There are people blasting the mountain every night on this road. We came out to have fun, and it's not easy for us to get together. Let's play for a while and then go back."
Lu Feng also joined in the persuasion, saying, "That's right, it's all in the past. It's not worth spending millions on a car just to settle a score. Look at all my cars, they're just gathering dust in the garage. You don't have that much money either."
"Who are you calling poor?" another young man retorted, annoyed. They were the sons of wealthy families, and could accept any criticism, but the word "poor" was completely foreign to them.
"It's not that you don't have money, it's that it's unnecessary," Lu Feng explained. "Just bear with it and it will pass."
As the eldest brother, Ye Zai had already calmed these people down quite a bit, but as soon as Lu Feng said that, he couldn't hold back any longer and shouted excitedly, "I can't stand it! Damn it, we're going to buy a car when we get back!"
"No, no, no, you have to be rational when it comes to spending money," Lu Feng advised. "When I was young, I bought a bunch of cars just to spite them, and now they're just sitting there useless. You guys are still young, you have a bright future ahead of you."
“That’s right, everyone eat something first. It’s already set up over there.” Yezi also advised. He looked at Lu Feng, unsure whether Lu Feng wanted to persuade or provoke the young people. He turned to Feng Zhiyao and said, “Tell your friend to keep quiet.”
"Let's go, let's go." Yezi pulled one of the young men towards that direction, while the girls around him also tried to persuade the others.
On a flat piece of land, a shipping container was opened from the side. A red carpet was laid on the ground, and electricity was connected to the container truck. The lights illuminated the area as bright as day, and several colorful light bulbs were shining.
The table was laden with various snacks, dishes, champagne, and other treats. Several girls cheered excitedly, drawing the attention of the young people and causing the atmosphere to become lively again. As the music started, everyone drank and danced.
Unsure of Lu Feng's intentions, Feng Zhiyao whispered, "Brother Feng, what's your plan?"
"No plans, we'll just take it one step at a time!" Lu Feng took a sip of champagne and looked at the carefree young people making a ruckus.
"That's too childish!" Feng Zhiyao muttered.
"It's so good to be young!" Lu Feng exclaimed.
"Brother Feng, you actually envy them?" Feng Zhiyao was extremely surprised.
“How could I not be envious?” Lu Feng said with a wry smile, “No matter how rich people are, if you ask them, who doesn’t miss those days when they earned a meager salary, were well-fed and clothed, had a little money in their pockets, and dared to venture out into the world?”
“I envy you!” Feng Zhiyao said, looking at Lu Feng.
“That’s how the world is. Everyone is envious of each other. There will always be people who are richer and more powerful than you. How can you stay happy?” Lu Feng clinked glasses with Feng Zhiyao and said, “Find the meaning of life. If you’re just stuck in these mundane things like money, power, and sex, you’ll keep pursuing them endlessly.”
Feng Zhiyao pondered for a moment, finding it quite philosophical, and asked, "Then what is the meaning of your life?"
“It was when Jiafeng Electronics moved towards technology, industry, and trade that the extreme wealth brought extreme emptiness.” As Lu Feng spoke, he saw a girl walking over.
"Hello, Mr. Lu." The young woman approached gracefully and said with great poise, "Can I have a drink with you? I've always wanted to travel to the mainland."
"Welcome, welcome!" Lu Feng clinked glasses with her.
"Could I leave you my contact information?"
Lu Feng took a business card from Feng Zhiyao's pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Contact him. I don't have a stable way to contact him in Hong Kong."
The girl took the business card, smiled, and turned to leave.
"Brother Feng, didn't you say these things were vulgar?" Feng Zhiyao said, both amused and exasperated.
"I'm just an ordinary person," Lu Feng said, finding a seat. "It's just for fun. Do you really think I can do anything about it?"
Feng Zhiyao knew that Lu Feng wouldn't do anything, so he smiled and didn't say anything.
A few young men walked over with their glasses and said to Lu Feng, "Let's have a toast, or maybe a blow-drink?"
As the young man spoke, he handed over a whole bottle of red wine, but Lu Feng waved his hand repeatedly and said, "I can't drink it, I can't compare to you young people. I'll just have one glass."
Lu Feng raised his glass and clinked it with everyone. The two young men, who had been making a ruckus, were a little tired and sat down to the side. Lu Feng noticed that they seemed to have forgotten about the car.
"To be honest, if this had happened when I was eighteen or nineteen, that kid would have been finished." Lu Feng had the expression of an older brother, as if recalling the old days.
"I'm not afraid of him anymore, I'm driving my car now..."
"No, no, no!" Lu Feng quickly stopped him, "Your car is no good. Don't drive after drinking. I'm old, so let me tell you, don't waste money. Really, it's pointless to spend money for a moment of pleasure."
“I was annoyed when he overtook me. I was pressing the accelerator when I was going around the corner, and I felt the car understeer, you know? The car was already at its limit, and the rear wheels couldn’t even keep up. That bastard even turned on his turn signal to mock me.”
The young men grew angrier the more they thought about it, and fueled by alcohol, they became increasingly agitated.
"Let's not talk about it anymore!" Ye Zai tried to stop, otherwise he might easily get drunk and cause trouble.
“From my age and from my perspective, buying these cars doesn’t mean much. But I think you should do things appropriate for your age. If you think that you can buy a car now that you won’t have your family to manage your money anymore, then I’m telling you, it just won’t feel the same.”
"Once you've reached that age, it's truly over. You can earn money slowly. For example, I'm very rich now, but I can't buy the happiness I had back then. You have to learn to live in the present."
