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

Li Xiaofeng got into the car, took a notebook and a ballpoint pen from the passenger seat, and handed them to them.

"Why are you giving us this? We want our money back, our hard-earned money!"

Li Xiaofeng said aggressively to them, "Don't you guys know the rules? Write a receipt for the payment! If you take the money and leave without writing a receipt, what if you go back to Xu Lei and ask for the money again?"

The three greedy thugs seemed to suddenly realize something and hurriedly knelt down on the hood of Li Xiaofeng's BMW to write a receipt.

“You guys go and write on that car over there. This is a BMW. If you scratch it, can you afford to pay for it? Hurry up, what are you looking at me for!”

"If you want money directly from me, go over there and write a note. If you don't want the money, then go ask Xu Lei for it. Don't come looking for me!"

Li Xiaofeng's arrogant demeanor temporarily intimidated the three greedy thugs, who quickly grabbed pens and notebooks to write receipts.

Seeing that the three of them were a little further away from him, Li Xiaofeng immediately started the car, closed the electric windows, and sped away.

The three thugs realized they had been tricked and gave chase.

But how could two legs outrun four wheels? All they could do was curse from behind, helpless.

On his way back to school, Li Xiaofeng began to ponder what exactly was going on!

Although these people are dressed as migrant workers, they are definitely not from the construction site; if they are not from the construction site, they must be from the school.

For the past six months, he has basically been either at the construction site, back at school, or back to his own little apartment.

Moreover, after thinking it over, his only enemy was Cao Jinpeng, the eldest in his dormitory.

The fact that the three thugs knew his name and that he was a construction site owner meant that his backers must know him.

In addition, Cao Jinpeng's family background has ties to organized crime, and he seems to have also subdued that guy called Brother Long.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng suddenly felt that the three thugs looked familiar, as if they were Brother Long's men.

Now, he has a fairly clear understanding of the situation.

Seeing the other party's attitude today, it seemed they wanted to teach him a lesson. But since they failed to teach him a lesson, the other party would not give up easily and would definitely find another opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Damn it, they can't beat me head-on, so they resort to these underhanded tactics. It's really going too far and shows no sportsmanship.

Fine, fine, if you don't have any martial ethics, then I won't use any tricks either!

Call the police first.

Even if the police can't do anything to these petty thugs for the time being, they still need to leave a criminal record at the police station.

This time he didn't succeed, and I guess Cao won't let it go. He'll definitely find another opportunity to attack me. Next time there's a conflict, it will definitely be more advantageous for me to be on the police's side.

During lunch with Jiang Xueying, Li Xiaofeng said casually, "Xueying, I can't go shopping with you for a while, so let's just stroll around the school!"

Jiang Xueying asked with some disappointment, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Don't you like me anymore?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not your problem, it's my own. I've gotten myself into trouble lately!"

"What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"

“This morning, I went to the construction site to collect payments, and a few thugs tried to beat me up. I managed to escape when I had the chance. What if you get into danger if I take you with me?”

"Oh no, what happened? Did you make some enemies outside?"

"I'm just a student, and I've been doing my job properly on the construction site. The construction is progressing smoothly, so what enemies could I possibly have? My only enemy is Cao, the eldest brother in my dormitory."

"No way, how could he do such a thing? If the school finds out, he'll be expelled!"

"It's not like he did it himself. As long as those thugs don't implicate him, he'll be fine. As for why he would do something like that, even if others don't know, don't you know?"

The reason Li Xiaofeng told Jiang Xueying about this was because his social experience from his previous life told him that when faced with a problem that he couldn't solve, and the enemy was strong while he was weak, he should never rashly rush in and fight them head-on. That's not bravery, that's brainlessness.

You must know how to leverage existing forces and how to use their own methods against them. Even if you can't solve the problem completely at once, you should still make the surrounding situation more favorable to you.

It's not too late to fight back if there's absolutely no other way.

The core conflict between him and Cao Jinpeng is Jiang Xueying. If Jiang Xueying is willing to stand on his side, it will be more beneficial for him.

Jiang Xueying remained silent for a while before raising her head and saying, "I will have a good talk with him about this. If that doesn't work, I will talk to my brother and ask him to take charge of this matter!"

Hearing Jiang Xueying's words, Li Xiaofeng felt a little heavy-hearted.

Although Jiang Xueying was on his side, her own abilities were limited; she could only cheer him on but couldn't directly solve the problem.

Talk to Cao Jinpeng? Talk about what? What's there to talk about!

Would Cao Jinpeng let Li Xiaofeng off the hook just because of something she said? Definitely not!

As for talking to her brother, that's even less likely.

The Jiang family's attitude is definitely on Cao Jinpeng's side. Who knows who his brother will deal with in the end? Why would they care about such a thing!

Talking to Jiang Xueying about this, and seeing her current attitude, only achieved a small part of his desired goal. It seems that to truly resolve this matter, he will ultimately have to rely on himself.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others!

To climb the ladder, one must endure brutal struggles, and Li Xiaofeng was mentally prepared for that.

A better life is never given by others, but earned by oneself.

Striving doesn't guarantee you'll get it, but not striving guarantees you won't.

Now that Jiang Xueying had made her stance clear, Li Xiaofeng had no choice but to speak up.

"Actually, I didn't want to tell you about this, but I thought I had to bring it up so you wouldn't misunderstand. I don't want that Cao guy to have any chance to take advantage of you!"

Jiang Xueying said irritably, "Ugh, do you think I'm the kind of person who wavers and isn't loyal in relationships?"

Women are easily swayed, but at this crucial juncture, Li Xiaofeng certainly couldn't say that.

So he smiled and said, "Of course you're not. I can handle this myself. I'm just letting you know. You have the right to know about my affairs, don't you?"

As for helping me solve my problems, forget it. You don't need to talk to Cao Jinpeng, and you certainly don't need to go to your brother. Men's matters should be resolved by men themselves!

Jiang Xueying seemed a little embarrassed and asked timidly, "Are you sure you don't need my help?"

"No need, I can handle it!"

"That's good. But I still need to talk to my brother about it. What if Da Peng hurts you?"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "You underestimate me like that? Why don't you mention that I hurt him?"

Jiang Xueying's eyes widened as she said, "Didn't you say he'd get some thugs to beat you up? Are you going to fight him directly? Fighting is bad; you'll get expelled from school!"
