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

Sure enough, Lu Zhendong hadn't wasted his two years after graduation. He said with a hint of contempt, "Third brother, your company hasn't gone public yet. No matter how high the valuation is, it's still just a valuation, it's all illusory. Real money is what matters."

I advise you not to let those illusions blind you. Building a career through hard work and perseverance is the right path. Your arrogance has offended the Wei family, and you don't even respect Brother Kai. You'll suffer for it sooner or later!

Cheng Zhiyuan also said with great emotion: "Yes, in today's society, money alone is often not enough. You also need connections and resources."

In the past two years, I've come to realize that the reason our Cheng family was doing well before was simply because my father made many friends and built up a lot of connections.

Our Cheng family declined later because my father went to jail and we lost our connections. Now, with Brother Kai's help, I believe our Cheng family will definitely rise again!

Li Xiaofeng found Cheng Zhiyuan's idea somewhat amusing. This was a classic case of "what goes around comes around." Having learned a lesson from his father, why didn't he quickly abandon the idea of ​​personal connections and focus on a more stable career?

Instead of seriously reflecting on his mistakes and learning from them to avoid repeating them, he believed that his father's connections were not strong enough and his backing was not powerful enough.

To let one's fate be in the hands of others, to place one's hopes on others when one is not strong enough, is like a lone boat on the sea, which may capsize at any moment when a wave crashes over it.

In any case, Li Xiaofeng would never entrust his fate to someone else, no matter how good that person's relationship was with him. After all, people's hearts are complex and unpredictable.

After listening to Cheng Zhiyuan's words, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Fourth brother, it seems you've only learned a little bit of your father's knowledge. Does that mean you can't do business without connections?"

How did I start my business?

Furthermore, isn't the Wei family behind the scenes the reason your Cheng family has ended up where it is today?

You actually want to cooperate with the Wei family now? Are you going to trip over the same stone twice?

Cheng Zhiyuan's face was somewhat gloomy, but he immediately laughed and said in a light tone, "Third brother, we've all grown up and entered society. Can't you let go of these things?"

As long as there's money to be made, I don't care who I cooperate with. The Wei family and my father have had quite a few grudges and entanglements in the past, and it's really hard to say who was right and who was wrong!

Li Xiaofeng frowned and asked with some doubt, "Fourth brother, Shen Jiaqi is Wei Jianjun's lover. You need to think this through. I'm not slandering him; she admitted it herself in court!"

Furthermore, the fact that Shen Jiaqi was able to have a relationship with Wei Jianjun in that setting shows that their relationship was not ordinary and could not be broken up in a short period of time.

Furthermore, I don't know what happened between you and Shen Jiaqi later, why you two got married in such a short time. Are you really sure about what happened?

Cheng Zhiyuan's expression brightened again, and he smiled as he said, "Third brother, if that's the case, then Jiaqi and you even had a relationship!"

Let bygones be bygones. Everyone has a past. Those are things between Jiaqi and me. As long as you live a good life with me in the future, I can treat the past as a thing of the past.

To be honest, I've had quite a few women in the past, so I'm pretty indifferent to that kind of thing now!

Li Xiaofeng smiled and gave Cheng Zhiyuan a thumbs up, then didn't continue the conversation on the topic.

"Alright, since you guys insist on buying my real estate, I have nothing more to say. I've already said everything I needed to say. I just hope that when you lose money, you won't come looking for me to settle accounts, and you definitely won't come to me to borrow money."

Cao Jinpeng said with a grin, "Don't worry, absolutely not. Those office buildings you own are all high-quality properties. Not only are they cheap, but they also come with existing leases. Buying them will not only save us money, but also a lot of trouble!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and nodded: "That's true. Since you've taken a liking to it, I'll have Liu Shasha contact you later!"

A few days after his roommates left, Jiang Chengye found him again.

"Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you? Have you gone mad? The market is so good right now, why are you selling all your real estate? If you don't want it, transfer it all to me!"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "Brother Ye, are you out of your mind? Weren't you very conservative before? What, now that the market is heating up, you can't stay calm anymore?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying the real estate market is going to crash?"

"It's hard to say whether there will be a big drop, but haven't you noticed a pattern? Every time the real estate market experiences a surge, it needs to undergo a period of adjustment before it can continue to rise."

Furthermore, even the elderly people in the vegetable market now know that speculating on real estate can make money, and they are lining up in the real estate market to buy houses with the same enthusiasm they would have for queuing up for eggs.

Go ask Mr. Jiang, even ordinary people know that this business is profitable, can it still be profitable?

Jiang Chengye said impatiently, "What do you mean by this? We're family, after all. Is it meaningful for you to give me this kind of excuse?"

"Since you're selling to someone else anyway, and selling to me is the same thing, you might as well just sell your real estate to me directly. At least I'll owe you a favor."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head: "If it were someone else, I would definitely sell it to them, but if it were you, I definitely wouldn't sell it to you. If you buy my real estate and lose money, Xueying would scold me to death."

Not only will I not sell to you, I'll also complain to General Manager Zhang and Xueying, saying that you're incredibly stubborn, and that your so-called composure and maturity were just an act.

“You…” Jiang Chengye was somewhat exasperated.

Li Xiaofeng didn't indulge him or give him any face. He directly called President Jiang in front of him and briefly explained the situation.

“Here, it’s your dad on the phone. He wants you to answer it!” Li Xiaofeng said with a wicked grin.

Jiang Chengye had no choice but to answer the phone.

While answering the phone, Jiang Chengye kept bowing and scraping, his tone respectful, indicating that he had been scolded quite a bit, which made Li Xiaofeng laugh uncontrollably.

After Jiang Chengye hung up the phone, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Brother Ye, I know you're not convinced by me. You didn't implement the advice I gave your Jiang family before, also because you were angry with me."

You're such a grown-up, how can you still be so childish?

Never get into a fight with money, don't you think?

Besides, I've already proven myself right. Why are you acting like a child, insisting on disagreeing with me in every way to show off your own brilliance?
