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

Seeing Lü Zhendong's appearance, Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "That's because she saw your behavior and wanted more, but she was afraid of ending up with nothing, so she wanted to earn some money first as a safety net!"

"Third brother, what exactly do you mean? I don't quite understand what you're saying!"

"That means, seeing your character, she thinks there's a possibility she could marry you and become a wealthy socialite!"

"Our family isn't exactly a wealthy one!"

"But compared to ordinary people, your family's economic conditions can already be considered those of a wealthy family!"

Li Xiaofeng rolled her eyes at him and continued irritably, "But marrying into a wealthy family isn't that easy. You'll definitely have to get past your parents and have them run around with you for years. You might not even get anything in return."

Those in this industry all know that it's a job that relies on youth. Even if they didn't have this concept before, they will come to it after entering the school!

Therefore, she thought she could be both a prostitute and a virtuous woman in front of you, so that even if she failed to win him over, she would have a way out, thus achieving the best of both worlds.

The only downside is that she's too greedy. She can't control herself, she's a bit blind, and she's a little slow on the uptake. Of all people to date, she has to pick someone from your dorm—it's like she's starving and indiscriminate!

"I'm asking why she didn't ask me for money!"

"Nonsense, isn't it obvious? She's supposed to play the innocent victim in front of you. If she asks you for money, what will she become? How will she continue to play the innocent victim?"

"Third brother, why didn't you tell me these things sooner?"

Li Xiaofeng looked at him and said seriously, "Second brother, I'm just your classmate, not your father. I've already done more than enough by helping you find a girl to have some fun."

Besides, you're having so much fun over there, what can I say? What if they actually succeed in taking over? What would I look like then!

At this moment, Cao Jinpeng saw that something was wrong and immediately stood up and said, "Second brother, don't listen to his nonsense, he's talking complete rubbish!"

I don't know about others, but there's absolutely nothing between Peipei and me, really, you have to believe me!

Li Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "I don't believe you for a second! You old rascal, you're really bad!"

"Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm only a year older than you, how am I an old man? Don't be so smug. Even if Xueying is on your side, it's useless. Her family is all on my side. We'll see how things go!"

After saying that, Cao Jinpeng looked at Lü Zhendong and continued in a serious tone: "Second brother, after so many years of brotherhood, don't you trust me?"

"I have great news! Our family has acquired another piece of land and is preparing to start a new project. I'll definitely find a way to help you secure the bid for this project!"

Lu Zhendong's face lit up with a bright smile: "Boss, we've been brothers for so many years, how could I not trust you!"

I know, Third Brother is just trying to steal our campus belle, Jiang. When he's desperate, he'll use anything. Third Brother, you'd better not say things like that in front of me again; it won't work on me!

“That’s right. We’ve been brothers for so many years. To the two of us, the third brother is an outsider. You help me deal with him and we’ll get Xueying back together!”

Lu Zhendong coughed lightly and said to Cao Jinpeng somewhat embarrassedly, "Boss, I really don't understand those things between men and women. I'd better learn about them first, otherwise I'll definitely make things worse for you!"

At this moment, Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly smiled and interjected, "Boss, don't make things difficult for Second Brother. It's not that the brothers are unwilling to help, it's just that we really can't get involved in this kind of thing."

Besides, you're our brother, and Lao San is our brother too. The paint business we're in now is ultimately thanks to Lao San, isn't it?

Seeing that the two of them had finally moved toward a neutral stance as he had hoped, Li Xiaofeng's face broke into a bright smile.

As long as he isn't isolated in the dormitory, he can establish himself in the school.

......

After some time, Li Xiaofeng finished several construction projects and rented out most of his properties. The remaining tasks were mainly to go to the construction sites to collect payments and get the final payments back.

His relationship with Jiang Xueying is gradually warming up. Now, he can hug and kiss Jiang Xueying frequently. Except for the last step, all the other barriers have been conquered.

That day, he went to the construction site again to inquire about the final payment. When he returned, three people dressed as migrant workers surrounded him.

"Li Xiaofeng, right? When are you going to pay us the wages you owe us?"

However, Li Xiaofeng noticed something was wrong after just a few casual glances at them.

Whose migrant workers are these, with such large tattoos on their arms? And it's not just one person, it's three people with such large tattoos, and these guys have such a strong air of thugs and hooligans.

In his previous life, Li Xiaofeng worked in this industry, so he was very familiar with the atmosphere of migrant workers.

Regardless of whether they are migrant workers or not, he can roughly tell their skill level just by talking to them for a few minutes.

Furthermore, he attaches great importance to the payment of migrant workers' wages. Therefore, on his construction sites, after paying the contractors the progress payments, he personally oversees the payment of wages, making it impossible for wages to be delayed.

I personally oversee the payment of wages mainly because I'm worried that small contractors might abscond with the migrant workers' wages, leaving me with a mess.

Because he often personally supervised the payment of wages to migrant workers, the migrant workers on his construction sites, although they couldn't remember all their names, were quite familiar with their faces and treated him with extreme friendliness.

Absolutely friendly.

One reason is that the migrant workers know he is a big boss and they need to work for him; another reason is that it's rare to find a boss like him who pays promptly on construction sites, so what migrant worker wouldn't like that!

Working on a construction site means you can't just lie at home and sleep. Even though Xu Lei helps him handle most of the trivial matters, he still needs to control some of the key aspects of the construction site himself.

Otherwise, if a problem arises, rework is a minor issue, but a safety accident would be a major problem.

Seeing the three men with large tattoos on their arms, dressed in migrant worker clothes, approaching, Li Xiaofeng calmly asked, "You're Xu Lei's men, right? How much money does he owe you in total?"

"One of them owes us five thousand!"

These people can't even pretend properly; they're probably just making up excuses!

Migrant workers' wages are calculated on a daily basis, sometimes in whole numbers and sometimes in small increments, and most of the amounts vary depending on the number of days worked and whether the wages are for skilled or unskilled workers.

"No problem, I'll give it to you right now!"

The three thugs looked at each other, then grinned and said, "Alright, give it to us now!"
