"Hey, Gao Mei, why are you going through my phone?"
"Li Xiaogang, stop trying to distract me! I'm asking you, did you return that million to Chen Feng?"
"Yes, I returned it to him."
"Why?"
"I believe that the feelings between friends should be pure."
"But he's so rich, giving you a million is nothing."
“It has nothing to do with how much money he has. Besides, no matter how much money he has, it's all earned through his intelligence and hard work. I'm not his son, so why should I take his money?”
"You... Humph!"
Gao Mei glared at Li Xiaogang, then got up and left.
If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much.
She couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on an idiot!
However, this time Gao Mei was more cautious.
Unlike last time, she didn't say anything harsh like "let's forget each other in the world."
What if the top donor is in a good mood one day and sends two more rockets?
What if Li Xiaogang suddenly realizes he might be willing to accept Chen Feng's "charity"?
But Gao Mei was determined that she would never pay any attention to Li Xiaogang again in the short term.
At least until Li Xiaogang returns to the ranks of millionaires, she will "disappear from the face of the earth".
...
October 7th, the last day of the short holiday.
After finishing his Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) practice, Chen Feng returned to room 213 of Chenxi Yaju. After taking a shower, he turned on his computer, logged into QQ, and wanted to see if there were any messages from the "little rich woman".
Before Chen Feng could even open the chat window with Li Wanwan, Li Xiaogang's avatar started flashing incessantly.
"Old Chen, you're 48."
"What, 48?"
"My senior, Gao Mei, hasn't contacted me for over 48 hours. She doesn't answer my calls, and she doesn't reply to my QQ messages or texts."
Chen Feng was stunned.
That's not right!
Given Gao Mei's materialistic nature, she should have clung to Li Xiaogang for a while, so why did she suddenly stop paying attention to him?
"Don't overthink it. Maybe your senior from high school is busy with something these days. She's not ignoring you on purpose."
Although he knew Gao Mei's reaction was abnormal, Chen Feng still replied against his conscience.
Isn't it that Li Xiaogang refuses to listen to my good advice?
Didn't Li Xiaogang say he wanted to be with Gao Mei?
Chen Feng simply stopped trying to persuade him and just said whatever Li Xiaogang wanted to hear.
"You're not deliberately ignoring me? How could that be!"
Li Xiaogang complained, "She knows I returned that million to you, so she's ignoring me."
How did she know you returned the money to me? Did you tell her?
"No, she secretly checked my phone while I was in the restroom and saw the bank account change notification text messages."
"Holy crap! You were so careless! How could you let her see your phone?"
"Is that the point? The point is that she's greedy for money and likes to climb the social ladder, okay? Old Chen, to be honest, I regret it. If I had known she was a gold digger, I should have listened to you and stayed far away from her."
Chen Feng smiled but did not reply.
It's good that Li Xiaogang saw through Gao Mei's true colors.
At least, my hard work wasn't in vain.
Just then, Chen Feng noticed a "highlight".
Li Xiaogang has changed both his QQ profile picture and nickname.
Previously, his profile picture was a silly squirrel, and his nickname was "Gang Yixingchen".
Now, his profile picture is a photo of a man smoking, exuding a strong "non-mainstream" vibe, and his nickname has been changed to "Living Without Speaking of Pain".
That's how male college students are; they always like to express their feelings by changing their profile pictures and nicknames.
Li Xiaogang is also using this method to show the pain and heartbreak he experienced after being heartbroken.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Li Xiaogang's new nickname is a bit lacking!"
Chen Feng muttered, "He put Mo Yan after 'To Live,' shouldn't Yu Hua be in more pain?"
"Ding ding!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a text message notification sounded.
Chen Feng took out his phone and looked at it; it was a message from Li Wanwan.
"Chen Feng, I'm boarding the plane. You need to make time for me today."
"Okay, I'll pick you up at the ancient city international airport."
"You don't need to come to the airport. Just wait for me at the east gate of the school. Remember, wait quietly."
"?"
Chen Feng looked completely bewildered, thinking to himself that he was going to welcome the young rich woman, not to enter the village, so what did "waiting quietly" mean?
The flight from Shanghai to the ancient city takes 140 minutes, and with an additional hour's drive from the airport to the University of Finance and Economics in the ancient city, Li Wanwan will not be able to meet Chen Feng for at least three hours.
But Chen Feng felt restless and couldn't sit still.
So he drove to the east gate of the ancient city's financial district, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back while constantly looking into the distance.
As a result, Li Wanwan didn't arrive, but Chen Feng, an employee of Douyin, did.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Inside the East Gate, Zhao He, who had just returned to school, asked Jiang Dandan beside him, "I heard from the security guard that he's been loitering around for three hours. Has he eaten too much?"
Jiang Dandan chuckled, "Guess why he's wandering around here?"
"Could it be... that he's welcoming one of our colleagues from Douyin?"
"Pooh!"
Jiang Dandan rolled her eyes. "How could that dog of a boss who only knows how to deduct employees' wages possibly have such a kind heart?"
"To tell you the truth, he's waiting for the boss's wife!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao He suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! I was wondering why the boss, who usually sits whenever possible, has become so diligent."
As the two were whispering to each other, Chen Feng, who was not far away, became excited, jumping up and down and waving his arms like a primate begging for food in a zoo.
Jiang Dandan and Zhao He could tell at a glance that it must be the landlady who had arrived.
Just as the two had expected, a black Rolls-Royce slowly drove up.
Chen Feng immediately stepped forward, seemingly wanting to wait for the car to stop so he could give Li Wanwan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, a warm hug.
But the Rolls-Royce suddenly accelerated, "whoosh," and bypassed Chen Feng, speeding towards the girls' dormitory building.
Seeing this, Zhao He asked, "Did the boss and his wife have a fight? Otherwise, why isn't the Rolls-Royce stopping?"
However, he waited for a long time but did not receive a response from Jiang Dandan.
Zhao He subconsciously turned his head and realized that Jiang Dandan, who had been standing next to him, had already walked far away.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"
Jiang Dandan waved her hand repeatedly, "That dog boss must be full of resentment right now after getting a slap in the face. If he finds out that we saw his predicament, he'll definitely take his anger out on us!"
"Oh, right!"
Zhao He then realized what was happening and quickly followed Jiang Dandan, leaving the place of trouble without looking back.
Chen Feng, who was left standing there, narrowed his eyes, looking puzzled.
Is this rich girl heading back to her dorm?
But why would she go back to her dorm if she doesn't go back to Chenxi Yaju?
