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

These minor conflicts at the beginning of the semester did not cause much of a stir.

Although Cao Jinpeng and his friends were somewhat snobbish, they weren't as extreme as adults. In addition, the values ​​of that era were far less materialistic than they would become later.

Li Xiaofeng lived his own life and had very little interaction with the others, so there were no conflicts.

Therefore, although they still didn't bring Li Xiaofeng to their gatherings, their relationship remained relatively harmonious, at least on the surface.

Especially after everyone returns to the dormitory at night, it's inevitable that they'll chat and joke around, which is also an important way to enhance friendships among classmates.

"Third brother, do you know who our school beauty is this year?" Lu Zhendong's face shone with the light of a prophet.

"Who!"

"Jiang Xueying, our boss's childhood sweetheart, and she's deeply in love with him!" Lu Zhendong said smugly, as if he were the school beauty's childhood sweetheart.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Boss, congratulations! You've won the heart of your beauty in one fell swoop!"

Cao Jinpeng had a clear look of pride on his face, but he said nonchalantly, "Well, I've known her since we were kids. She's quite persistent, but I don't have much of a feeling for her."

Besides, you're bound to meet new people in college. I think our previous year's campus belle, Liu Qianqian, is quite nice—a cool, aloof beauty, totally my type!

Cheng Zhiyuan laughed and cursed, "Damn it, boss, you're too much of a beast! You're eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot. You're not leaving the brothers any way to survive!"

Cao Jinpeng said nonchalantly, "What do you mean I'm not giving you a way out? If you like Jiang Xueying, then go after her. As long as you can win her over, I have no objection!"

Li Xiaofeng shook his head with a wry smile: "Boss, you don't know how lucky you are. If Jiang Xueying gets stolen away one day, you won't even have a grave to cry to!"

Lu Zhendong chimed in smugly, "Third brother, you may not know, but Jiang Xueying is no ordinary person. Her family is also in the real estate business, and they are even richer than our eldest brother's family."

That's a man who's seen it all. In terms of money, he's nothing to us; in terms of feelings, who can be as deep as our boss? Besides, our two families are also considering a marriage alliance!

Ultimately, Jiang Xueying is the boss's chosen wife!

Cheng Zhiyuan said in a somewhat provocative tone, "Boss, are you planning to pursue Liu Qianqian? I've heard that Liu Qianqian has quite a few suitors, one of whom, Sun Wenxuan, is the most aggressive!"

Cao Jinpeng said confidently, "What's the use of chasing so fiercely? We still didn't succeed. In this world, family background and connections matter. What is that guy surnamed Sun anyway!"

"Boss, don't underestimate this guy surnamed Sun. Although his family isn't as rich as yours, they have influence. His father is the director of our Shanghai TV station."

More importantly, Liu Qianqian's parents also work for Shanghai TV station. Being in such a close position gives them a natural advantage!

Cao Jinpeng paused for a moment, but then said confidently again, "So what? Who can turn down money? From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen anything that money can't solve."

The reason there are things that can't be resolved is because the money offered isn't enough. Besides, I'm handsome and capable; if I can handle Jiang Xueying, I refuse to believe I can't handle Liu Qianqian!

Lu Zhendong asked cheekily, "Boss, did you really manage to take care of School Beauty Jiang? How does it feel?"

Cao Jinpeng looked embarrassed and said irritably, "What I meant by 'smoothing things over' was winning the girl's heart, not what you think. How can you be so despicable?"

Besides, who is Jiang Xueying's father? The two families are too close. If I dared to lay a finger on him, my dad would beat me to death!

Li Xiaofeng asked with a smile, "Boss, you're talking so happily, you're not still a virgin, are you?"

Cao Jinpeng, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately jumped up and shouted, "You're the newbie! Back in high school, countless girls were throwing themselves at me!"

"So how many did you take with you to a hotel?"

Cao Jinpeng retorted angrily, "Then how many did you take with you to book a hotel room?"

"I don't have many, just one. How about you?"

Although Li Xiaofeng said that, he was actually quite miserable inside, because he only had one child in two lifetimes.

It's often said that men are the ones who torment women, but Li Xiaofeng feels that he's the one being tormented by women.

I'm just too honest; I absolutely can't let myself suffer like this in my life.

"Me? I have so many I can't even count them all!" Cao Jinpeng's eyes flickered.

In that era, although Shanghai was an economically developed region, its social atmosphere was not as open as it would later become, especially among middle school students, who were generally under strict control.

At this time, if students were to date, it would be a grave offense, and both the school and parents would strictly forbid it.

Most students are timid; they often have the desire to steal but lack the courage, and even those who have the courage may not have the opportunity, after all, they are too busy with their studies.

"Then there isn't one!" Li Xiaofeng bluntly exposed with a grin.

Cao Jinpeng immediately retorted, "If I want to take a girl to a hotel, isn't that a piece of cake?"

Seeing that Cao Jinpeng was getting impatient, Li Xiaofeng stopped teasing him and turned his attention to Cheng Zhiyuan.

"Look at how slyly the fourth brother is smiling, he must be a worldly man!"

Lu Zhendong chimed in, "I think so too. Their family runs a nightclub, full of beautiful women. A young master like him, wouldn't those women be desperate to curry favor with him?"

Cheng Zhiyuan said irritably, "It's not what you think. I would like to try it, but my family has given them a strict order, so they don't dare to come near me at all."

Sigh, it's all tears. So many pretty girls, and all I could do was shamelessly take advantage of them, and then they'd complain, and my dad'd beat me with a Seven Wool cigarette. It wasn't worth it, not worth it at all!

Cao Jinpeng asked with great interest, "So, do your family members agree to you touching her now?"

"No, I don't dare to ask at all, I'm afraid of getting beaten up. But you guys can go, I can give you a discount since we're classmates!"

Lu Zhendong said dejectedly, "Let's forget it. Your place is too expensive. My eldest can afford it, but I can't. My family doesn't give me much pocket money, and I dare not take this thing back for reimbursement!"

Cao Jinpeng said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, my family doesn't give me much money. They're just worried I'll squander it."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and asked, "Fourth brother, what's the maximum discount you can get at your nightclubs?"

“Others can only get a 15% discount at most, but we're brothers, I can give you a 20% discount. Our family's main business is…” Cheng Zhiyuan quickly and earnestly introduced the business.

It seems this person is also someone who came to the school to solicit business and start a business.
