Chen Feng couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Brother Chicken is indeed a clear-headed yet foolish college student. With just a little trickery, he revealed Huang Lina's true intentions.
"In that case, there's even less reason for me to add Huang Lina on QQ. The blisters on my feet are all self-inflicted. If she hadn't provoked me time and time again, she wouldn't have been pulling the millstone naked—making a fool of herself in the process."
Chicken Brother's cheeks twitched, and he felt a mixture of regret and resentment.
He regretted telling the truth and hated Chen Feng for being unusually cunning.
However, Brother Chicken was still unwilling to give up.
"Chen Feng, can't you put yourself in her shoes? Lina is a girl. On her first day in the Finance Department, you 'tortured' her into a clown. How will she face her classmates after this?"
Brother Chicken typed away for a long time, trying to persuade Chen Feng with reason and emotion, but just as he was about to click the send button, he received a system notification.

...
The next morning, not long after Chen Feng finished washing up, Li Xiaogang knocked on the door of room 213.
"Wow, has the sun risen in the west?"
Chen Feng teased, "I'm usually the one who tells you to exercise, so why are you telling me to exercise today?"
"Um... Old Chen, I didn't come to ask you to go for a morning run."
Li Xiaogang pursed his lips. "I'd like to borrow some more money from you."
"Borrow money? What do you need money for?"
Chen Feng was taken aback. "You haven't gotten in touch with Gao Mei again, have you? Are you planning to invite her to dinner again?"
Others may not know how frugal Li Xiaogang is, but Chen Feng knows it all too well.
With the six hundred yuan Li Xiaogang had left, it was enough for him to "live on" for at least two months.
Unless, Li Xiaogang has a compelling reason to spend a lot of money.
"Hehe, hehehehe..."
Li Xiaogang scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.
He didn't say anything, but seeing his smug face, Chen Feng knew he was right.
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Li Xiaogang.
He then noticed that his good friend had dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a panda at first glance.
No need to ask, this kid definitely didn't sleep much last night, he was sitting in front of the computer, anxiously waiting for Gao Mei to reply to his QQ messages.
It's over.
Li Xiaogang has been completely ensnared by that scheming woman.
"Old Li, I'm afraid you won't be able to go on a date with Gao Mei anymore."
"Why?"
"Because... I have a very important task for you, the kind that requires business travel."
Chen Feng decided to help Li Xiaogang separate from Gao Mei.
"no problem."
Li Xiaogang immediately stopped smiling. "Where are you going? What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, Lao Chen, I will do my best to do things and not let you down."
Seeing this, Chen Feng nodded to himself.
Although Li Xiaogang is a bit "cheeky" when dealing with women, he is still very trustworthy when it comes to work.
"I need you to go to Jinglan County."
"Jinglan County? Your hometown?"
“That’s right. I’ve heard that Liqiang Supermarket has received an investment. You need to find out the background and purpose of the investor.”
At this point, Chen Feng paused, "In addition, although the Chen family has solved their immediate crisis, their funds are still tight, and they will definitely have to raise money again soon."
“I will give you some money, and you can lend it to Chen Liqiang and have him use the Chen family’s property as collateral.”
Chen Feng kept in mind all the despicable acts committed by the Chen family.
Previously, Chen Feng neither had the time nor the ability to retaliate, but now that he has some capital, he naturally won't let the Chen family have an easy time.
Besides, hasn't the Chen family sent people to harass him time and time again?
It is impolite not to reciprocate.
His first step was to make the Chen family homeless!
Li Xiaogang stared blankly at Chen Feng, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What's the meaning?
Is Chen Feng going to make a move against the Chen family?
"Old Chen, have you... thought it through? No matter what, they are your family, bound by blood."
"Family? Don't be ridiculous!"
Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "From the moment I was born, all my relatives died."
Li Xiaogang thought for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "Okay, I'll take care of it. We're brothers for life, and I'll support you no matter what you do."
"Go ask your counselor for leave in a bit, and then take a bus to Jinglan County."
Chen Feng patted Li Xiaogang on the shoulder, "Douyin's business has just started to expand, and I really can't leave. I can only trouble you to make the trip for me."
"By the way, once you get to Jinglan County, find a nice hotel. Don't skimp on meals; I'll reimburse you."
Li Xiaogang thought for a moment and asked, "What will happen to the stock market if I leave? Didn't you say there would be a rally soon?"
"I will take some time to sell all the stocks I hold, and we will not do stock business anymore."
"What?"
Li Xiaogang's eyes widened immediately, and he was completely taken aback. "The stock market is so profitable, and you... you just say you're quitting?"
"Brother, trust me."
Chen Feng sighed and said, "Some money, you may be able to earn it, but you may not be able to spend it."
When he had little money, Chen Feng might not have attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.
However, as the amount of capital increases, it becomes unrealistic to keep a low profile and make a fortune.
Even the "national team" (referring to state-owned enterprises) may not be able to consistently make money in the stock market, yet Chen Feng always seems to be able to accurately time the market trends.
The regulatory authorities are not to be trifled with, and Chen Feng didn't want to be accused of manipulating stock prices, much less be dragged into a laboratory for analysis.
"Fine, you're the boss, what you say goes."
Li Xiaogang pointed to the door and said, "I'm going to pack my luggage."
"good."
Watching Li Xiaogang's departing figure, Chen Feng's lips curled up into a playful smile.
In fact, Chen Feng didn't have high hopes for Li Xiaogang's ability to successfully complete the mission.
Li Xiaogang is, after all, still a naive college student, and his abilities in various aspects are lacking.
Chen Feng's real purpose was to allow Li Xiaogang and Gao Mei's "relationship" to enter a cooling-off period.
He thought that as long as the two of them didn't see each other, their passion would fade away;
Once the initial enthusiasm fades, Li Xiaogang will no longer be Gao Mei's sycophant.
Chen Feng never dreamed that his act of sending Li Xiaogang on a business trip would not only fail to "break up the couple," but would instead cause them to become even more deeply entangled...
...
Over the next three days, Chen Feng spent his days clearing out inventory and picking up and dropping off the young rich woman from class. In the evenings, he would convene meetings with Douyin's senior executives to plan work. He would also steal a moment to call Li Xiaogang to inquire about the progress in Jinglan County.
It's no exaggeration to say that Chen Feng's life is quite fulfilling.
However, he changed his morning run and route to school, deliberately avoiding the east gate each time.
He knew that since Chen Haoran had been beaten, the Chen family would definitely come to him demanding an explanation.
