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

After finishing his business in Beijing, Li Xiaofeng flew to Shenzhen to get a better understanding of Miao Peipei's current situation.

At this time, Miao Peipei had also built a large network of connections in Shenzhen by using the company platform of Wanzhong Media. If she were to leave Shenzhen now, it would be detrimental to both her and herself.

"I was thinking of having you come back and help me manage the chain of gyms, but now that I see how well you're doing in Shenzhen, it seems better to have you stay here!"

In Miao Peipei's house, Li Xiaofeng held Miao Peipei in his arms, his voice gentle yet with a bitter smile.

Miao Peipei nestled close to Li Xiaofeng, smiling as she said, "Xiaofeng, you can do whatever you want with me. Everything I have today is thanks to you, and I will never forget it!"

Li Xiaofeng kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile, "To truly care for someone, you should help them succeed, not restrict their freedom."

Besides, your success here is actually helping me make money; it's a mutually beneficial relationship. However, I think we need to add another connecting link between us.

Miao Peipei chuckled and said irritably, "You stinky men, you say you don't care on the surface, but you have a lot of tricks up your sleeves."

Qianqian already told me, and I'm ready. In fact, I haven't touched alcohol for several months. These few days are my fertile period, so come on!

If it doesn't work out this month, then come back next month. If it still doesn't work out, you're not allowed to leave!

Li Xiaofeng kissed her cheek again and said with a grin, "Our Peipei has grown from a little girl into a powerful businesswoman who dominates the business world. She's really responsible!"

However, now that you mention it, I feel like you're the queen bee in the hive, and I'm just a male bee that breeds offspring for you. Once I'm done, I can just go!"

Miao Peipei covered her mouth and chuckled, then put on a serious expression and said, "You haven't come to see me for so long. I wonder which vixen has bewitched you."

"I've come all this way, I can't let you down without squeezing me dry. Everyone wants a good meal during the New Year, right? If you hadn't come, people would have thought I was a widow!"

Li Xiaofeng quickly smiled wryly and begged for forgiveness: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. I'll make time to come see you every now and then, okay?"

"That's pretty much it!"

"The gym industry is doing quite well right now, and I plan to expand my chain gym business to Beijing and Shenzhen."

"You and Qianqian, please keep an eye on things for me for now. Once Shanshan is free, I'll let her take over completely."

Miao Peipei readily nodded: "No problem!"

Li Xiaofeng had previously speculated on real estate, and after paying off his loans and taxes, he still had 2.7 million yuan left.

After allocating 2000 million yuan to Fang Huiya's film and television company, Li Xiaofeng took out another 5000 million yuan to venture into Beijing and Shenzhen, planning to open 30 more gyms in each of these two first-tier cities within a year.

After securing the commanding heights of these three domestic markets, we will gradually expand to surrounding first-tier cities, creating a nationwide gym chain.

In fact, in this era, no industry is yet saturated. As long as one is patient and steady, the gym industry can still be sustained, at least providing Li Xiaofeng with a stable cash flow.

Having completed his mission in Shenzhen, Li Xiaofeng returned to Shanghai.

After returning to Shanghai, Li Xiaofeng discovered that the only woman who could serve him now was Xiao Pingping. As for Le Xiner, she had been too busy to spend time with him.

Xiao Pingping has a typical healthy wheat-yellow skin, which is very pleasing to the eye. She is tall and has firm skin, making her look like a female instructor at a gym.

Li Xiaofeng stroked Xiao Pingping's smooth skin and couldn't help but ask, "Pingping, are you trained like your brother?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Pingping only hesitated slightly before nodding decisively.

"However, I only practice boxing for fitness. Women's physical strength is not as good as men's. If we really fight, I can't beat a man without using some techniques!"

Since getting together with him, Xiao Pingping has been completely obedient to him. She never refuses to do anything she can. Therefore, she works in this villa dressed as a maid and needs to satisfy Li Xiaofeng's requests anytime, anywhere.

Because Xiao Pingping had said that she would leave once she graduated from university, Li Xiaofeng asked her to stay by his side several times, but she politely declined each time. Even when the two of them were making love, she never wavered.

Li Xiaofeng assumed that Xiao Pingping had someone she liked at university, so he asked Luo Yuanhang to investigate and follow her at the school for a period of time.

It turned out that she was the kind of ice queen at school who didn't have a boyfriend at all. Except for the time she came to see him, she basically lived a life of going between her dormitory, classroom, and library.

Li Xiaofeng didn't dare let her get two stripes, because he knew that without Xiao Pingping's permission, she would definitely secretly have an abortion, which would cause Xiao Pingping physical harm, something he didn't want to see.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng was a little angry with Xiao Pingping, and when he was with her, he was particularly rough and often disregarded her feelings.

However, afterwards, Li Xiaofeng would feel a little regretful and would comfort her in a gentler way than he would with other women, and would also take the initiative to tell her his thoughts and feelings.

Xiao Pingping just smiled and didn't say anything. Sometimes, she would pat Li Xiaofeng's head like a mother comforting her child, to show that she had forgiven him.

Li Xiaofeng could only smile wryly at this situation.

After much thought, Li Xiaofeng realized that Xiao Pingping had an older brother who was a cell boss in the detention center. Perhaps he could establish a connection with Xiao Pingping through him.

Xiao Pingping's brother's name is Xiao Yalin. According to Li Xiaofeng's understanding, Xiao Yalin often got into fights when he was a child, and he had practiced combat sports and Muay Thai.

Later, in order to earn tuition fees for his younger sister, he went to work as a bouncer. As a result, he got into a fight and injured someone, so he was arrested and forced to work on a sewing machine. Li Xiaofeng was exonerated and released, but the evidence against him was overwhelming, so he had to go back to prison.

However, after Li Xiaofeng was released, he also provided him with some assistance, changing his lawyer and having Le Xiner review the case to reduce the severity of his charges.

Both Xiao siblings were very grateful to him for this, which may be an important reason why Xiao Pingping was willing to sacrifice herself for Li Xiaofeng!
