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

Li Xiaofeng had a very pleasant summer vacation.

He could clearly feel that his relationship with Fang Huiya had become more harmonious.

Being with the same woman, but whether she loves you or not, the feeling is completely different.

Of course, things were actually quite harmonious before, but they're even more harmonious now.

A campus beauty, when she's with you, is more focused on your feelings than on herself.

That feeling was truly different.

Sometimes, Li Xiaofeng would accompany Jiang Xueying shopping. Fang Huiya knew about this and still kept her promise to Li Xiaofeng without interfering.

It's true that all men are womanizers.

However, the inequality between the two was destined from the very beginning of their relationship.

You didn't love me before, but now that I'm rich, you love me again.

This kind of love is destined to be compromised.

Actually, Fang Huiya could have left him, and Li Xiaofeng wouldn't have forcibly stopped her, but she didn't leave.

Perhaps, after careful consideration, Fang Huiya felt that even if Li Xiaofeng only wanted a financial relationship with her, it would still be her best choice.

Summer vacation passed quickly, and students returned to school. For Li Xiaofeng, his sophomore year began.

After the start of the school year, it was obvious that Cao Jinpeng now was quite different from the Cao Jinpeng before.

To put it nicely, he was full of confidence, but Li Xiaofeng felt that he was even more arrogant and domineering than before, and even more disdainful of others.

He casually lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and said, "Third brother, you're a real scoundrel!"

Hearing him speak so rudely, Li Xiaofeng was extremely angry: "Cao Jinpeng, what do you mean? Watch your mouth!"

Did you eat shit at home this summer? Your mouth is so foul! And if you want to smoke, go outside! Don't make everyone smell your secondhand smoke, have you no sense of decency?!

Cao Jinpeng didn't fly into a rage. He continued smoking and said leisurely, "Second brother, fourth brother, do you know how much money this guy made from the construction sites he took over from you two?"

Lu Zhendong quickly pressed on, "How much money did you make?"

Cheng Zhiyuan, who was standing to the side, also perked up his ears.

"Fourth brother, he made at least two or three hundred thousand from that construction site of yours. Second brother, he made at least six or seven hundred thousand from that construction site of yours. And the construction site I introduced to him, he must have made at least two million."

Good heavens, no wonder his family was the poorest, yet he's now so wealthy and powerful. Turns out there's a huge profit margin involved! And this kid only gives us such a tiny commission. Isn't he a scoundrel?!

After hearing Cao Jinpeng's words, the two men turned their attention to Li Xiaofeng.

Li Xiaofeng was already mentally prepared for this situation. He could tell from his previous phone call with Fang Huiya that she planned to ditch Li Xiaofeng and run the construction site herself.

So Li Xiaofeng sneered and said, "You can go out and ask around. Is a 5% commission the going rate for site referral fees? This isn't something I decided on my own."

Furthermore, most of the referral fees for construction sites are paid according to the progress payments of the project, are you aware of that? Because of our brotherly relationship, I've always settled accounts with you in advance. Aren't I being generous enough?"

"Third brother, you can't earn so much and give us so little! We're all brothers, you're being too unfair!"

"Yeah, third brother, I thought it was only 3,000 square meters, and I even had you recharge a lot of money. I thought you wouldn't earn much, but I didn't expect you to earn so much!"

"You only see the thief eating meat, but you don't see the thief getting beaten!"

Don't forget, I paid for the construction site myself. I was responsible for the materials, labor, construction management, and safety during the construction process.

Besides, isn't that how business is done?

Whoever handles the most gets the most, isn't that only fair?

Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts!

Lu Zhendong frowned and said with great dissatisfaction, "It has to be about right! We're all in this together, and you're making way too much!"

Li Xiaofeng chuckled: "Second brother, when I say we're partners, you actually think we're partners? What is a partnership? A partnership is sharing responsibilities and sharing benefits."

Our relationship is at best a collaboration!

I don't want to say any more. Anyway, we're in a partnership. If it works, great; if not, we part ways. And don't forget, without me, you wouldn't even know this business existed.

Seeing that Cheng Zhiyuan, the fourth brother, also wanted to say something, Li Xiaofeng said to Cheng Zhiyuan in a calm tone: "Fourth brother, if we follow your theory, you shouldn't have paid that price when we went to your family's KTV."

What was the cost price of the Bordeaux wine the boss bought at your store? Shouldn't you waive the private room fee for us? The boss got ripped off; you should have kicked that woman out!

Cheng Zhiyuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Third brother, you can't say that. When it comes to doing business, costs aren't what you imagine."

There are many hidden risks involved, which I can't explain to you in a short time. Besides, I can't just lower the price arbitrarily, otherwise this business will collapse!

"Fourth brother, does this count as business? Why can't the risks inherent in my business be considered costs? Why do you think I can arbitrarily lower prices here?"

Lu Zhendong's tone softened, but he still said with some resentment, "We're not asking you to lower the price, we're saying that since we're all brothers, you should give us a bigger share!"

Cao Jinpeng chimed in, "Third brother, stop arguing with us. I know this industry inside and out now. I not only understand the costs, but I also know that the most important thing in this industry is resources, not all that nonsense you're talking about!"

Once you have the resources, everything else is easy. Just get the construction site, find any construction team to do the work, and then you can sit back and wait to collect the money.

Li Xiaofeng smiled faintly: "Do you really think this is so easy to do? Since that's what you think, then it's fine. Once these construction sites are finished, I'll quit this line of work."

Anyway, you guys have resources, and it won't be difficult to get some capital from your families to start a business. You can all partner up and run it yourselves; I won't get involved. All the profits will be yours, is that alright?

Cao Jinpeng sneered, saying in a disdainful tone, "These resources originally belonged to us. The reason you're being so generous is probably because you're worried about losing business and the company going bankrupt!"

Lu Zhendong waved his hand and said to Cao Jinpeng, "Boss, let's forget about it. There's no need to say so much!"

So the three of them started isolating Li Xiaofeng again, chatting and laughing among themselves, and hardly speaking to him anymore.
