Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Jiang Xueying thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, what's your phone number? I'll save it!"

“I didn’t buy a phone, and you don’t need to buy one for me. Don’t you think that if we meet more often, Boss Cao will pay more attention to you?”

Jiang Xueying rolled her eyes at him: "You want me to buy you a phone? Dream on! Why should I spend money on you stinky men?"

Sure enough, the melodramatic plots in TV dramas about rich people spending money like water are basically made up. Rich people are rich, but they're not stupid!

If a rich person doesn't respect you, they will be even more indifferent to you than an ordinary person.

Li Xiaofeng raised his hands in surrender, saying helplessly, "Okay, okay, how about this? I usually eat in Cafeteria No. 3. If you have any questions for me, just come find me there during mealtimes!"

Back in the dormitory, Cao Jinpeng casually asked, "Third brother, what's wrong with you today?"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "Boss, you're not blind, are you? What's going on? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"Third brother, don't be angry. I was just joking about what happened on the playground. Anyway, you and Liu Qianqian will never have any interaction in this life. Just consider it helping your brother out. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"

Since the start of the semester, Cao Jinpeng has promised Li Xiaofeng to treat him to a meal at least seven or eight times, but he has never kept his promise.

"I can't afford your meal, and besides, I can earn money to support myself."

"Third brother, don't mention your stock purchases anymore, it'll make you a laughing stock."

"I advise you to sell your stocks as soon as possible, cash out and leave the market. Just keep the money in the bank and earn interest. Stocks are not something you can control!"

Hehe, wait until I make money, then let's see if you're envious.

After getting to know them for a while, Li Xiaofeng figured out that although these rich kids had a glamorous image, the amount of pocket money their families gave them was not as much as ordinary people imagined.

Of course, it's definitely more than the average person, but it's still not enough to support their unrestrained consumption. Once his stocks rise, the amount will absolutely surprise them.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng completely ignored Cao Jinpeng's sarcasm and said with a smile, "I'm just trying my hand at stocks; there are actually many ways to make money..."

"Alright, alright, nobody wants to hear your business acumen. If you were really that good at business, you would have been rich by now!"

Cao Jinpeng was getting impatient. Then, he glanced at Li Xiaofeng and tentatively asked, "What did you and Jiang Xueying do after you left the playground? You two seemed to be having a good chat in the grove!"

"What else could it be? Isn't it obvious? Your childhood sweetheart wants to get your attention, so she wants me to cover for her and make you jealous, so you'll spend more time with her!"

Cao Jinpeng laughed, a very happy laugh, and said in an arrogant yet confident tone, "I knew it would be like this, you little tagalong, you've never been able to leave me since you were little, it's quite annoying."

"If it weren't for her parents telling me to take good care of her, I wouldn't even bother with her. It's because she's always causing trouble in front of me that Liu Qianqian is so indifferent to me. Otherwise, how could that Sun Wenxuan be a match for me!"

"So what are you planning to do? I still have to be Miss Jiang's inside man!"

"You're pathetic too! Why bother with her? She wouldn't even look at you!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "But Miss Jiang's family is in real estate. I'd like to contract some projects from her to earn some tuition fees!"

Working on interior and exterior wall coating projects was his old profession when he was young in his previous life.

Although his money hadn't arrived yet, it didn't stop him from laying the groundwork with his roommates. One of them came from a real estate business, and the other from a construction company; both were potential clients of Li Xiaofeng.

Cao Jinpeng said nonchalantly, "My family is also in the real estate business. After you graduate, I'll protect you!"

"You know I don't have much money, and I probably can't wait that long. Do you have any work recently? I know about interior and exterior wall coating projects. If you have any business in this area, boss, look out for me!"

"Sure, sure!" Cao Jinpeng readily agreed, but his demeanor clearly showed that he didn't take it to heart at all.

I heard this nonsense a lot in my past life.

Li Xiaofeng wasn't in a hurry. He knew that haste makes waste and that these things could only be done slowly.

In his previous life, with no family background or connections, he struggled immensely but could only secure a few small projects. Not only did he not make money, but he also frequently incurred debts, leading a very miserable life.

Now that I'm in university, I've gained access to higher-level connections, so I definitely want to seize every opportunity.

"Then... how should I explain this to Miss Jiang?" Li Xiaofeng pressed.

"Don't bother explaining to her. She's nobody to you. What's the point of explaining to her?!"

"That won't do. What if Miss Jiang suddenly becomes kind and asks me to get a construction site from her house?"

For Li Xiaofeng, whether it was chasing girls or getting along well with classmates, the ultimate goal was the same: to make money. Only when you have money will others respect you.

Therefore, he kept trying, whether it was with Jiang Xueying or Cao Jinpeng, taking it one step at a time.

After hearing Li Xiaofeng's words, Cao Jinpeng's previous doubts had long since vanished.

He said somewhat impatiently, "Say whatever you want!"

"Why don't you be nicer to Miss Jiang these days? That way, I'll have some face with him. On the playground, I've gone to great lengths for you. Now, shouldn't you sacrifice for your brother too?"

Cao Jinpeng flatly refused: "That won't do. I finally managed to get a little closer to Liu Qianqian today. If she sees me with Jiang Xueying, then everything will be over!"

"Boss, Miss Jiang is so beautiful and has such a great figure, she has a lot of suitors. Don't make things worse for her."

"No matter how beautiful someone is, you get tired of seeing them all the time. I finally got to go to university, so I'm going to find a few new girls to have some fun with. After I've had my fill, it's not too late to go home and marry her!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head: "Boss, you're playing pretty fancy tricks. Well then, I'll just tell you the truth!"

Cao Jinpeng was taken aback for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Say whatever you want. I can always smooth things over. Let's see if she believes you or me!"

"Boss, you don't need to point me out. I know my place and I have no intention of pursuing Jiang, the campus belle. I just want to do some engineering work to earn some tuition fees!"

Didn't I say I'd get it for you?

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Boss, it's not that you're helping me, it's that we're cooperating. Once we get the construction site, I'll definitely give you a commission, and you can make money too!"

Cao Jinpeng scoffed, "Cooperate with you? Do you think I'm too idle?"
