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

Thinking of this, he immediately patted Li Xiaofeng on the shoulder and said, "Young Master Sun, you've come to the wrong person when it comes to investing. If we're talking about who's the richest among us, it's definitely the third brother. It's no exaggeration to say that he has tens of millions in assets now!"

Li Xiaofeng finally understood why Cheng Zhiyuan had called him here today. Besides showing his support, he also wanted to be a scapegoat and a shield, to invest in a few unfamiliar rabble. Did he have too much money to spend?

So Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "Fourth brother, what are you saying? What do you mean I have tens of millions in assets? How could I have tens of millions in assets? You really don't know me at all!"

Cheng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Third brother, don't deny it. We're all family. Do you think I don't know your family's wealth?"

Li Xiaofeng continued with a grin, "No, Fourth Brother, what I mean is, you're underestimating me too much. What do you mean by assets of tens of millions? My assets are already over a hundred million, okay!"

His words sounded like boasting, but they were actually true.

He does indeed have assets exceeding 100 million, but his liabilities are also close to 100 million.

Sometimes, telling the truth as a lie is the most effective way to create a false impression. If the other person finds out the truth one day and tries to contact you again, you will have a good reason to refuse.

You look down on me today.

Tomorrow, you won't be able to reach me.

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, everyone thought he was bragging and shook their heads in annoyance.

Sun Wenxuan planned to take advantage of the situation and said to Li Xiaofeng with a smile, "Mr. Li, since you are so rich, we won't ask for more. You can just invest one million. Is that alright?"

Li Xiaofeng immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, and said smugly, "I may be rich, but I'm not stupid. Why should I give you investment just because I have money? Do I owe you anything?"

You might not know this, but I'm like a Pixiu in the Chinese zodiac—I only take in and never give out. Giving me money is fine, but getting money out of me is very difficult!

Upon hearing his words, everyone burst into laughter. Cheng Zhiyuan said irritably, "Third brother, stop fooling around. You've gone too far with your boast!"

Li Xiaofeng, with a broad smile, pointed at him and said reproachfully, "Fourth brother, you're such an ungrateful bastard! Not only did you look down on me, but you also sabotaged me here. After we finish this drink, I'm cutting ties with you!"

Liu Qianqian, who was standing to the side, asked with a grin, "Why don't you break up with him now, instead of waiting until after this drinking session?"

Li Xiaofeng pretended to speak very softly, but the volume was loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Isn't that obvious? With all the good wine and meat laid out in front of us, how can we not indulge ourselves properly?"

Liu Qianqian was already laughing, and when Li Xiaofeng said that, she laughed even harder.

After everyone laughed for a while, Sun Wenxuan said to Cheng Zhiyuan in an annoyed tone, "Young Master Cheng, if you don't want to invest, just say so. You know my connections. What, do you think I'm trying to fool you?"

Cheng Zhiyuan said apologetically, "Young Master Sun, I am actually interested in your project, but you have to let me think about it later. Anyway, you're not in a hurry right now, are you?"

As you may have heard, I started a painting company with some of my roommates, but the company is currently facing some problems and there isn't much profit yet.

My family sees that my investments haven't yielded good results yet, so they won't be allowing me to invest any more. That's a rule they set for me!

Sun Wenxuan said in a calm tone, "I can't say I'm not in a hurry. I plan to start this project before my senior year, but the preparation for the project takes time."

I need to keep track of the dynamics and interpersonal relationships within the TV station beforehand, make advance contact with people there, set up the company, and recruit staff—all of which take time!

Cheng Zhiyuan turned to Li Xiaofeng and asked, "Third brother, aren't you planning to invest? After the eldest brother gives me my dividends, let's brothers invest together, each contributing 500,000. How about that?"

Li Xiaofeng waved his hand and said, "Fourth brother, to be honest, I'm already in dire straits. I can barely save myself. In the second half of last year alone, I've already put in two or three million. I estimate that I'll have to put in nearly two million more in the first half of this year."

Cheng Zhiyuan asked doubtfully, "Really? What kind of business are you running? If you're losing money like this, you should cut your losses and stop now!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's a trade secret, and I can't reveal the details to you right now. However, I'm not lying to you; we really don't have any extra funds to do anything else at the moment."

Liu Qianqian, who was standing to the side, said in surprise, "Xiaofeng, I thought Young Master Cheng was joking with us. I didn't expect you to really have so much money!"

Li Xiaofeng said modestly, "In business, there are always gains and losses. You might make money yesterday, but you might lose it tomorrow. It's hard to say!"

Feng Dahai, who hadn't said much, smiled obsequiously and toasted Li Xiaofeng: "Mr. Li, come, let me toast you. As you know, my dad is a director, and he has a pretty good reputation in the film industry."

If you're interested in investing in my dad's films and TV series in the future, you might be able to collaborate with him.

Li Xiaofeng politely raised his glass and said, "No problem. If there's an opportunity in the future, we can definitely cooperate. Don't call me 'President Li,' we're all brothers. Just call me Xiaofeng, don't be so formal!"

Sun Wenxuan asked Li Xiaofeng somewhat unwillingly, "Xiaofeng, you're so capable, can't you squeeze out 500,000 for us for now?"

With this 500,000, our project can get started. We can have Young Master Cheng add the remaining 500,000 later!

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and declined with a smile.

"The worst thing you can do is to be greedy and always want more. If you try to do everything, you'll end up doing nothing well. Even if your project is very profitable, I have to do my own job well first, right?"

Liu Qianqian said with a grin, "Xiaofeng, aren't you with Jiang Xueying? She's so rich, why don't you find a way to borrow some money from her?"

Li Xiaofeng rolled his eyes at her and said irritably, "You really think I'm a gigolo?"

"I heard from others that you made a lot of money off Jiang Xueying!"

"You heard it from Cao Jinpeng, right? What good things could he possibly say about me? I've even made money off him, and I've also made money off Lao Si and Lao Er. Those were all business relationships."

Secondly, as for making money, that was all before I got together with Xueying. Later, Boss Cao took over that business, so I withdrew from it!
