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

The next day, Li Xiaofeng drove Jiang Xueying back to school. Looking at her still somewhat unwell figure, he felt very happy.

He risked stepping on a sewing machine to fight with a few thugs.

Risking being ostracized by the entire dormitory, or even the entire class, they engaged in open and covert struggles with Cao Jinpeng.

He was determined to secure his position as the boyfriend of the school beauty, even at the risk of offending two major real estate families.

He reaped a rich reward for all of this yesterday.

Jiang Xueying was won over by him.

Beautiful women are a scarce resource in the eyes of the wealthy, and beautiful women with connections are an even scarcer resource.

Just taking him out for a stroll garners the envy of countless people, which, to some extent, proves that Li Xiaofeng is no ordinary person.

At the very least, his two roommates are now looking at him in a noticeably different way.

"Third brother, I heard you took Jiang Xueying back to her dorm this morning. You two aren't together, are you?" Cheng Zhiyuan's expression was a little strange.

Li Xiaofeng, with a mysterious look on his face, smiled and sang: "I won't tell you, I won't tell you, I won't tell you..."

"Tch, look at your slutty, shameless face, you must have been up to no good yesterday!"

Where did those two go?

"There was an accident at the construction site! Those two people went to the construction site!"

Li Xiaofeng asked with some surprise, "The construction site has just started, what could possibly happen?"

"They said the contractor paid the workers too little, so the workers went to another construction site. Now there's no one to work on the site, and the project manager scolded the boss."

So, the eldest brother pulled the second brother aside and asked him to help find someone else. The eldest brother planned to treat the project manager to a meal to calm things down!

Li Xiaofeng laughed heartily.

"Fourth brother, what are you laughing at?"

“Painting sites are considered easy to work on, but you had this kind of problem right after you started. I guess things won’t go very smoothly for you later on. If you need to find someone to do the work, you’ll have to find a more reliable construction team.”

As a result, I found an unreliable one and had to find people myself. Is it even possible to find reliable workers these days?

Construction sites also have peak and off-peak seasons. When it's busy, everyone's busy; when it's slow, everyone's slow. Without advance preparation, how can we get the work done?

Cheng Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Third brother, you know your stuff. Why don't you come and work with us?"

"No, no, you guys absolutely have to make this money, otherwise you'll be at a huge loss. The boss has already said that all the resources are yours. Resources are the most important thing; nothing else matters!"

"Third brother, the eldest was just joking. We're all brothers, don't take it so seriously!"

"Why should I care? What's there to care about? I'm quitting, so why should I care about you? Just work hard, and I'm sure you'll all be rich soon!"

In the evening, Cao Jinpeng and Lü Zhendong returned looking exhausted.

Cheng Zhiyuan quickly asked, "How's the matter with the workers going?"

Lu Zhendong said irritably, "It's hard to find workers these days. We finally found a few, so let them do it for now. It's better to have someone to do it than no one at all!"

Then, he looked up and saw Li Xiaofeng, and asked with a fawning smile, "Third brother, since we're all brothers, could you help us out? Where is your previous construction team? Could you introduce us to them?"

Li Xiaofeng spread his hands, looking helpless, and said, "There's no work to do. My construction team disbanded a long time ago. It's the peak season of September and October, and it's really hard to find workers at this crucial time."

Cao Jinpeng, shameless and looking exhausted, said, "Third brother, can you think of a way?"

It seems that people who have worked on construction sites gradually develop a thicker skin.

"What good solutions do I have? The only solution is to drastically increase workers' wages and poach people from other construction sites. I find that a bit funny."

Everyone else tries their best to treat their workers well, but you, at this crucial moment, are withholding their wages. This industry already has high turnover; it's no wonder the workers are leaving with their buckets!

Cao Jinpeng said with some heartache, "Raise the workers' wages? By a large margin? How can we still make a profit?"

Lu Zhendong sighed and said helplessly, "Boss, this is all we can do now. Let's get through this first!"

Then, Lü Zhendong said helplessly to Li Xiaofeng, "It's not that we withheld the workers' wages, it's that the boss found that unreliable contractor named Feng Bowen, he withheld the workers' wages!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "The workers don't care who you are or what your internal schemes are. All they care about is that if they get less money, they won't work. That's normal!"

Hearing the resentful tone in Lü Zhendong's words, Cao Jinpeng said to Li Xiaofeng in a sarcastic tone, "Third brother, I heard that Feng Bowen is very familiar with you. You wouldn't be colluding with him to cause trouble here, would you?"

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "Cao Jinpeng, you messed things up yourself and now you want to shift the blame, huh! You personally poached Feng Bowen from me."

Am I that amazing that I can predict in advance that you're going to poach my employees, and that you're going to poach who from me?

Even if you're trying to shift the blame, at least use your brain! Such an easily exposed excuse makes you a laughingstock; it feels like you're insulting people's intelligence!

Cheng Zhiyuan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Boss, don't say that. Third Brother just gave us some advice. Third Brother, don't take it to heart. That's just how Boss is. He doesn't mean anything by it."

Lu Zhendong chimed in, "Yeah, boss, I can guarantee this has nothing to do with the third brother!"

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Lü Zhendong and said irritably, "I don't need anyone to vouch for me, nor do I need to prove my innocence to certain people."

What, some people think they're royalty after a few days in the underworld? They think everyone has to treat their nonsense like imperial edicts? Pshaw, they can't even get a woman, and they still have the nerve to spout that drivel!

Cheng Zhiyuan looked at Li Xiaofeng with a reproachful expression and said, "Third brother, why did you bring this up?"

"Fourth brother, don't interfere in what's between me and the eldest brother. He knows Xueying is my girlfriend now, yet he still calls her every day. Has he no shame?!"

"What do you mean 'your girlfriend'? She's my childhood sweetheart. We used to have a great relationship. If it weren't for you, the third party, interfering, my relationship with Xueying wouldn't be like this now!"

"Hey, you're still calling yourself my childhood sweetheart? You're already mine now. You'd be better off chasing after Liu Qianqian. Oh, right, Liu Qianqian doesn't even consider you a potential partner."

"Now that the second son has broken up with Miao Peipei, you can take her as your mistress. Nobody's stopping you now!"

Cheng Zhiyuan sighed helplessly, "Sigh, here we go again!"
