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

Seeing Li Xiaofeng leave like that, Cao Jinpeng was furious and said angrily, "That kid is too arrogant. I'll find someone to beat him up another day!"

Cheng Zhiyuan frowned slightly and said to Cao Jinpeng with dissatisfaction, "Boss, don't just resort to beating people up at the drop of a hat. Do you think dealing with Ah Long and dealing with Li Xiaofeng are the same thing?"

"What, does the third brother have three heads and six arms?!"

"Ah Long is a local thug who has done a lot of petty theft and has a dirty past. He also makes a living in the underworld, so he doesn't dare to speak up even if he suffers a loss, for fear of offending people and losing his job. That's why we can control him!"

But Li Xiaofeng is a college student. Although he doesn't have any family background, he has a clean record and some money. If he's determined to make a big scene, believe me, your family will definitely be the one who suffers!

"Are we just going to let him be so arrogant?"

"Boss, he's right about one thing. This isn't the era of gangsters anymore. Those old tricks don't work anymore. In today's society, making money is the only way to go!"

Lu Zhendong, who was standing nearby, also advised, "Yeah, boss. No matter what, the third brother is our classmate and roommate. It's fate that we can all be together. There's no need to make things tense."

"Tch!" Cao Jinpeng didn't say anything more, but his face showed his dissatisfaction.

.......

A few days later, Li Xiaofeng called Jiang Xueying and asked her to meet him in the cafeteria.

Jiang Xueying seemed to be in a good mood, and asked with a smile, "What do you need me for?"

"I need your help with something!"

Jiang Xueying said with some difficulty, "I probably can't help you with the construction site matter. You don't know, Cao Jinpeng is so annoying. He keeps trying to curry favor with my dad, and he won't listen to me anymore!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not about the construction site. I want to buy a few houses and I'd like your dad to give me some discounts."

"Oh, that's no problem. Our properties aren't selling well right now, and we're collecting cash too slowly. My dad's worried sick every day. If you buy our property, it'll be a big help to him!"

"When are you free? I'll go home with you!"

As soon as Li Xiaofeng uttered those words, he felt that something was amiss, as if there was some ambiguity.

Sure enough, Jiang Xueying's face turned red instantly.

"That's not what I meant. I meant... well, you know!"

Jiang Xueying fanned her cheeks with her hand, rolled her eyes at him, and said with a slightly coquettish tone, "I know, you big idiot, you can't even speak properly!"

Just then, the two suddenly noticed that, for some reason, Liu Qianqian had also come to the cafeteria. Surprisingly, Cao Jinpeng had also joined her, besides Sun Wenxuan.

"Qianqian, you know what? I'm going to start my own business! Aren't I awesome?!"

"What project is it?" Liu Qianqian rarely asked.

Cao Jinpeng was very excited and quickly said, "It's a project involving interior and exterior wall coatings. I'm personally in charge of it. I've been working very hard on this project lately!"

"I remember, it seems to be one of your roommates, something like Li Xiaofeng, who's doing it, right? What, you're in cahoots with him?"

Seemingly realizing his boast had been exposed, Cao Jinpeng's face flushed slightly, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.

To cover up his embarrassment, he raised his voice and said indignantly, "He's a liar, I won't work with him!"

"What's wrong? What did he lie to you about?"

"He earned so much money all by himself, but he only gave us such a small amount!"

"Was the profit distribution agreed upon beforehand, or did he change his mind midway through?"

"We did agree on the terms beforehand, but what he offered was far too little!"

"It's fine as long as we've reached an agreement. You changed your mind halfway through! Besides, isn't it normal for the one who puts in more effort to get the bigger share? If you think it's unreasonable, then do it yourself. Why are you talking to others like that!"

"Qianqian, why are you siding with outsiders!"

Liu Qianqian said coldly and unhappily, "What do you mean by 'insider' or 'outsider'? What's my relationship with you? I'm just stating the facts and telling the truth!"

We're just ordinary classmates. Don't try to get too close to me. People who don't know better might think we have something going on!

Cao Jinpeng was humiliated and remained silent, dejected.

Sun Wenxuan, who was standing to the side, took the opportunity to say with a smile: "Young Master Peng, I heard that you've been getting really into a relationship with a nightclub girl lately. What brings you here to chat?"

What, did that nightclub girl not serve you well?

"You're so eager to start a business, did you already spend all your money on other people?"

Cao Jinpeng said angrily, "Sun Wenxuan, what nonsense are you spouting? What nightclub girl? If you keep slandering me like this, I'll never forgive you!"

Sun Wenxuan sneered, "Slander you? Do I need to slander you? The shady things you did are already common knowledge in the nightlife circle. What, you really think you've kept your business secret?"

Then, Sun Wenxuan smiled and said to Liu Qianqian, "Qianqian, do you know what this despicable guy did? He took some pills to a nightclub girl's room and insisted that her lover watch from the sidelines!"

Think about it, how could such explosive gossip not spread quickly? Now even the Cao family's background has been dug up.

It turns out that the Cao family used to run a sand pit and would force construction materials to be delivered to various construction sites at high prices. If people refused to accept the materials, the Cao family would send people to cause trouble at the construction sites.

The Cao family amassed their fortune through such means. Later, through unknown methods, they acquired a piece of land and started developing real estate, gradually whitewashing their image!

Liu Qianqian looked at Sun Wenxuan with a half-smile and said in a nonchalant tone, "The nightlife scene? It seems you're quite familiar with it too!"

Sun Wenxuan quickly explained, "Qianqian, that's not how it is. I was dragged to a bar by a friend one day, and I heard a lot from others. Later, I didn't like that kind of place, so I had a couple of drinks and left!"

Cao Jinpeng grew anxious, grabbed Sun Wenxuan by the collar, and said fiercely, "You're talking nonsense! If you dare to spout nonsense here again, I'll cripple you!"

Sun Wenxuan wasn't afraid of him at all. He twisted his arm away and started fighting with him. Liu Qianqian immediately hid to the side to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The classmates next to them quickly pulled the two apart.

Sun Wenxuan straightened his clothes and said with a disdainful look, "You idiot! There's a nationwide crackdown right now, and you're still trying to get involved with the underworld. You'll drag your dad down with you sooner or later. You're a son of a bitch!"

Seeing the two of them making such a fuss, Liu Qianqian frowned and said to them, "Neither of you are any good people. I find you annoying. Stay away from me from now on."

If you dare follow me again, I'll report you to the school for harassment. At best, you'll get a demerit; at worst, you'll be expelled!

After saying that, Liu Qianqian glanced in Li Xiaofeng's direction, lightly tossed her hair, and gracefully left.
