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

Sure enough, Li Xiaofeng was right. In less than three days, President Wei called him and asked him to come to the office to sign the contract.

The construction site that General Manager Wei arranged for him was the first phase of a project called Emerald Garden, with an exterior wall coating area of ​​approximately 2 square meters and an interior wall coating area of ​​approximately 10 square meters.

The exterior wall coating is applied using a textured, silky latex paint, with a unit price of 40 yuan per square meter. The interior wall coating is applied using a regular matte, flat latex paint, with a unit price of 15 yuan per square meter. The total cost of the entire project is 230 million yuan.

Li Xiaofeng made a rough estimate.

The cost of textured and smooth latex paint is approximately 18 yuan per square meter, with a gross profit of around 44 yuan.

The cost of matte flat paint for interior walls is approximately 8 yuan per square meter, with a gross profit of around 70 yuan.

The kickbacks from the second brother, Lü Zhendong, and General Manager Wei must be at least 23 yuan, and the invoices must be at least 6%. Other expenses such as office expenses and business expenses are about 4%, bringing the total expenditure to about 46 yuan.

In addition, to maintain appearances, the kickbacks from the second son, Lü Zhendong, would definitely be a little higher.

In other words, after all this work, Li Xiaofeng conservatively estimates that he can earn around 65 yuan.

It was definitely worth the effort; the BMW wasn't a waste of money either. Signing contracts for the two construction sites was equivalent to earning two BMWs.

Back in the dormitory, Li Xiaofeng handed the newly signed contract to Lü Zhendong.

After glancing around casually, Lü Zhendong looked at Li Xiaofeng expectantly.

Li Xiaofeng understood what he meant, and took out stacks of banknotes from his bag, throwing them at Lü Zhendong with each stack he took out.

"Third brother, don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower. Just shower me with RMB, I can take it!"

The second roommate, Lü Zhendong, was overjoyed. He greeted each stack of banknotes with his chest, as if feeling the power of money, which greatly shocked his other two roommates.

Li Xiaofeng gave him a full twelve stacks of banknotes, totaling 12 yuan.

If this money were in a bank account, it would just be a string of numbers, especially in front of these rich kids, it wouldn't seem like much.

But if it were cash, placed in front of them, the effect would be completely different.

"Second brother, as you can see, the estimated total cost of the project is about 230 million. I should have given you 11.5, but we brothers aren't short of that, so I rounded it up for you!"

"Third brother, thanks a lot! You're like a second parent to me. Now I'm finally broke!"

Cao Jinpeng glanced at the contract with a hint of jealousy and immediately jumped up.

"Third brother, this Emerald Garden was developed by our family, so your commission from this construction site should belong to me!"

In most cases, real estate development companies will contract out the entire project they want to develop to construction companies, which will then subcontract it layer by layer.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Boss, that's not how it's done. Whoever puts in the effort gets paid!"

"Then you can give me half, right?"

"Boss, how you and the second brother discuss it is between you two, it has nothing to do with me. All I know is that the second brother helped me get this construction site, so the commission has to go to the second brother..."

Before Li Xiaofeng could finish speaking, the second brother, Lü Zhendong, had already stuffed the money into a bag and darted out like an arrow, presumably to deposit it in the bank.

"Lu Zhendong, you bastard! I've been so good to you, and you're not even going to share a little with me?!"

Cao Jinpeng was about to chase after him when Li Xiaofeng smiled and stopped him.

"Boss, forget it, this little bit of money is nothing to you!"

"What do you mean it's nothing? This is over ten thousand yuan! My family only gives me twenty or thirty thousand yuan a semester for living expenses. How can I possibly afford that? If they won't give it to me, then you should!"

"Boss, since your family is in real estate development, setting up a few interior and exterior wall paint construction sites is a piece of cake."

"My family is currently developing only one real estate project. Where else am I supposed to find another one?"

"Boss, are you being stubborn? Your project is temporarily canceled, but what about others? Don't you have any friends in other real estate or construction companies? Go and try to find a solution from them!"

Cao Jinpeng said with a worried look, "There is a saying, but it's a bit difficult to handle!"

"What's so difficult about it?"

“Jiang Xueying’s family also has a real estate project under development, but as you know, she’s angry with me right now, so how can I bring myself to say that to her!”

"Boss, is saving face more important or money? You're willing to throw away money for the sake of saving face? I despise you!"

After saying that, Li Xiaofeng made a classic contemptuous gesture at Cao Jinpeng.

"No, no, if I speak up now, won't I be trampled underfoot by her for the rest of my life!"

Cheng Zhiyuan, standing to the side, jokingly added, "What does it matter if she's trampled underfoot? A true man can bend and stretch. Once you marry her, she'll be under your control!"

Cao Jinpeng said irritably, "It's not that easy to control someone. My dad was controlled by my mom his whole life. He always told me that if a husband is not assertive before marriage, he will definitely not be able to hold his head up after marriage!"

Besides, I haven't had enough fun yet. If I give in to her now, she'll definitely interfere in my life, and then how can I have any fun?

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Then you can go play secretly and not let him find out."

"We're all in the same school, we see each other all the time, how can we hide it so easily!"

"You're so stubborn! Why don't you just look for students from other schools instead of those from our own?"

At this moment, Cheng Zhiyuan seemed to have figured out what was going on and asked suspiciously, "Third brother, you don't have a girlfriend at another school, do you?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I have a girlfriend from another school. Like our boss, we grew up together and she's currently studying at the Shanghai Film and Television Art School."

"Damn, all the girls at film school are beauties! Third brother, can your sister-in-law introduce me to one?" Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly perked up.

"Fourth brother, your family's nightclub is full of beautiful women, do I really need to introduce them to you?"

"You all know what kind of women work in nightclubs; they can't compare to students from film schools!"

At this moment, Cao Jinpeng also came over, shamelessly asking, "Third brother, really? If it's true, then count me in!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "To be honest, I give my girlfriend 5000 yuan every month, not including the gifts I buy for her. If you think you can afford it, I'll call my girlfriend in a bit!"
