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

Although Liu Shasha was somewhat resentful and occasionally complained that Li Xiaofeng was a womanizer, her actions betrayed her true feelings. When she had needs, she would still take the initiative to contact Li Xiaofeng. After all, given her current social status, it was impossible for her to just find any man.

But she's getting older now, and she doesn't want to find someone with worse conditions than her. But those with better conditions are all looking for younger men, and they wouldn't choose an older single woman like her with a child, even if she has top-notch looks and figure.

In addition to physical attraction, social status is also an exciting factor between men and women.

Men conquer the world, and thus conquer women; while women often conquer the world by conquering men.

Liu Shasha works within the system, so it's not convenient for her to visit Li Xiaofeng often. Therefore, each time she comes, it's like a vacation. She stays at Li Xiaofeng's villa for a while to recharge before returning to work.

However, no sooner had Liu Shasha left Li Xiaofeng's place than Cao Jinpeng came to him to complain.

"Third brother, is it really that hard to pursue girls?" Cao Jinpeng asked, his face full of frustration.

"What's wrong? Not doing well? It's normal for things not to go smoothly at your level. Be patient. Even if you don't succeed in the end, you can still gain experience. Keep trying!"

Cao Jinpeng couldn't help but complain bitterly: "It's not just unsuccessful, it's downright unsuccessful. A rich second-generation guy named Wang Shao Cong suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he seems to be pursuing her as well."

I've heard that Wang Shao Cong comes from a powerful family; his father is the second richest man on the list. If it really came down to a capital contest, even my father might not be able to beat him. Besides, that kid is pretty arrogant.

"Wang Shao Cong? Hehe, so you're talking about him. Don't worry too much, his skills at picking up girls are about the same as yours. He was even infatuated with an escort girl before!"

If someone hadn't thrown those escort girl's explicit photos in his face, he might already have a child by now. Besides, just because his father is rich doesn't mean he's rich too. Be confident; you're definitely more capable than him.

"Sigh, I'm not worried about Wang Shao Cong alone, but doesn't she have a childhood sweetheart? Do you know who her childhood sweetheart is?"

"Who is it?" Li Xiaofeng was also curious about this question.

Cao Jinpeng said somewhat dejectedly, "It's Secretary Zheng's son, Zheng Jingwei. He's achieved success at a young age and has a promising future within the system. More importantly, both sets of parents approve of each other."

"How can we play like this?"

"Life is full of disappointments, so don't take it too seriously. Just treat it as a test in life!"

Cao Jinpeng said irritably, "What kind of test am I going to give you! You have no idea how busy I am right now. I have endless things to do every day. I finally manage to find some free time to go on a date, but I have to be turned away. What's the point?"

"What, is the housing market really that hot lately?"

Cao Jinpeng said excitedly, "You really don't know? The real estate market has been booming last year and this year. Not only is the real estate market in Shanghai booming, but the real estate market across the country is booming. It's practically selling like crazy!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaofeng suddenly remembered that it was probably because of the purchase restrictions in major first-tier cities that a large number of speculators began to move to second- and third-tier cities, which led to the peak of real estate sales in the past two years.

However, after a brief sales boom, the real estate market is about to enter a downturn, followed by new policies from the central government to stimulate infrastructure construction, which will lead to a continued boom in the real estate market.

The link between real estate and the economy is no joke. As long as there's still room for maneuvering, it will continue until it can no longer be manipulated.

In fact, many people have seen the crisis hidden here, but it is a game of musical chairs, and no one wants to be the last one to be left behind. As long as it can be played, someone will continue to play.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "That's great! You're going to make a fortune!"

"What fortune? I'm just making a little money. I'm busy running around like crazy. How can I compare to how comfortable you are?" Cao Jinpeng said modestly, but his face was beaming with joy.

At this point, Li Xiaofeng had lost the will to persuade him.

As Li Xiaofeng grew older, he came to understand that adults' mindsets are already set, and it's very difficult to change them. There's really no need to bother trying to change others.

Even if he has been reborn, he is not a savior, and he is someone who has little to do with him. Why should he care? Even the King of Hell can't save a damned ghost. He is responsible for his own life.

"If things continue as they are in the current real estate market, maybe in ten years, your net worth will actually surpass mine!"

Say the nice things, like "you're good, I'm good, we're all good," isn't that better?

As he gets older, he has fewer and fewer old friends, and Li Xiaofeng's mindset is no longer the same as before.

Cao Jinpeng said with a hint of pride, "You can't say that. Actually, you're already very capable. You started from scratch, seized the opportunity, and built such a large family business as the Li Group."

But no one can always be right; you'll occasionally misjudge things. And I'm just lucky to be on the right track right now. Fortune changes, and this year it's my turn!

Li Xiaofeng chuckled and changed the subject: "What about Li Qiuxia? Judging from your attitude, it seems like you're not planning to pursue her anymore!"

"Why bother chasing after her? I've figured it out now. Women love to take advantage of you. If you give her a little respect, she'll take advantage of you."

We're both women, wouldn't it be better if I just found someone obedient and well-behaved? Or maybe you had the foresight to think you weren't aiming for marriage from the start.

I'm also planning to follow your example and find a few pretty women to complete the task of passing on my genes, thus maintaining my single status. That way, I can always keep the initiative in my own hands.

"Aren't you afraid that Li Qiuxia will be snatched away by someone else?"

"Who cares? I was blinded by greed before and didn't think things through. I have money, why should I give up the whole forest for one tree?"

Third brother, just you wait and see. There will be fewer and fewer men willing to be a woman's lapdog in the future. Men should focus on building their careers; women will naturally flock to them when they smell it!

“I agree with what you said!” Li Xiaofeng nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Cao Jinpeng looked as if he had suddenly realized something, staring intently at him and saying, "Now that I think about it, it seems like you've always been doing this!"

"It's not too late for you to understand now!"
