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

After settling things off with Liu Qianqian and Sun Wenxuan, Feng Dahai asked Liu Qianqian to call him, as communication between girls tends to be more effective.

If Feng Dahai lacks self-awareness and tries to make exorbitant demands, then we won't tolerate him.

Li Xiaofeng also wanted to personally greet Cheng Zhiyuan, since he was the investor in the project before, but he was currently at an impasse with Cao Jinpeng and couldn't get his money back for the time being.

"Fourth brother, Liu Qianqian and Sun Wenxuan are about to start a project. The initial investment is one million, and they will continue to add investment later. Do you want to invest?"

Cheng Zhiyuan said with a worried look, "Third brother, you know I don't have any money on hand right now!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's one thing if I can't get the money out of you, and it's another thing if I tell you. This was a project you started, and I can't just let you steal it away quietly."

Cheng Zhiyuan smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, this doesn't count as you stealing my project. I wasn't necessarily obligated to invest in this project in the first place!"

"That's good. Let's not let this little thing cause a huge fight. By the way, how are things going with you and the boss? It's best to resolve this peacefully!"

Cheng Zhiyuan snorted coldly: "Peace is impossible. I'm not done with him yet!"

After greeting Cheng Zhiyuan, Li Xiaofeng took a small portion of his remaining funds and asked Liu Qianqian to set up the company's structure so that it could start operating as soon as possible.

Anyway, the loan has already been approved, and I can get a large amount of funds next month.

The office buildings are readily available; Li Xiaofeng himself owns a large number of office buildings.

However, there are still many things to do, such as company registration, business registration, taxation, fire safety, recruitment, and equipment procurement, which Liu Qianqian will handle.

After all, she was given such generous treatment, so she had to do a good job.

During this period, Cao Jinpeng was very proud of himself.

He leveraged his family's connections to make his exterior paint business quite successful. He shared his entrepreneurial insights with his roommates every day in his dormitory, as if it wouldn't be long before he secured a place on the Forbes list.

However, Cao Jinpeng's smile soon faded.

Back in the dormitory, Cao Jinpeng yelled at Cheng Zhiyuan, "Fourth brother, why didn't you answer my calls?"

Cheng Zhiyuan said irritably, "Are you crazy? You're not a woman, why should I answer your call? It's my phone, I can answer it if I want to, and I can not answer it if I don't want to!"

"Hmph, what wrong have you done? Confess honestly, did you hire someone to threaten the workers on my construction site and prevent them from working for me!"

Cheng Zhiyuan sneered: "Boss, who are you? You really think you're the boss just because I call you boss? You want me to be honest with you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? What right do you have to say such things to me?"

"Just tell me, was it you?"

"Hmph, you surnamed Cao, why are you asking me about this? You should ask yourself if you've done too many immoral things and made enemies outside!"

"You surnamed Cheng, aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

"Go ahead and try, what evidence do you have? Is chatting illegal now? Or why don't you get the police to escort you at the construction site 24/7? You're so shameless!"

"Don't think you're the only one with connections; we have connections in our family too!"

"Alright, let's have a competition then. Let's see if your family is more capable or ours is more capable. Hmph, I think you've really gotten arrogant lately. You really don't know your place anymore!"

"Fine, you think you can do it? We'll see!"

.......

After a while, Jiang Xueying invited Li Xiaofeng to have a meal at a tea restaurant.

"Xiaofeng, what's going on between your dorm's fourth roommate and Dapeng? Why are they fighting so fiercely?"

"what happened?"

"That Cheng Zhiyuan keeps bringing people to cause trouble at Dapeng's construction site. Dapeng also brought people to cause trouble for Cheng Zhiyuan, but he suffered a small loss. Now Dapeng is asking my brother for help!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled but didn't say anything.

“My brother is also in a difficult position. Although our family has a good relationship with the Cao family, we also know the Cheng family and have a good relationship with them. How can we just make a move for no reason!”

"Why didn't Boss Cao tell you?"

"I already said it, isn't it just that Cheng Zhiyuan is trying to extort him?"

"Tch, you've all been fooled by him. It was Boss Cao who wanted to extort Cheng Zhiyuan. Cheng Zhiyuan had previously invested 500,000 yuan to partner with him in business, but after a minor disagreement, Boss Cao wanted Cheng Zhiyuan to withdraw his investment."

But if you want to withdraw your shares, then so be it. Cheng Zhiyuan gave you 500,000 yuan, which was a large part of the funding. You should at least give him some dividends. You could also earn a lot of money by putting it in the bank and earning interest!

As a result, Boss Cao was only willing to give Cheng Zhiyuan the principal, and refused to give him any profit sharing. Therefore, Cheng Zhiyuan refused to continue, and the conflict between the two deepened.

"How much does Cheng Zhiyuan want?"

"Including the principal and dividends, it was one million. Based on their company's profits at the time, they should have earned at least 1.5 million. Cheng Zhiyuan's shareholding was 40%, so giving him 500,000 was significantly less than the actual dividend ratio!"

Jiang Xueying sighed, her expression seemingly helpless, and asked, "And then what happened? Why did things escalate so much, and they even started fighting?"

"Later, Cheng Zhiyuan wanted to switch to another business and thought he could compromise with Boss Cao and accept a smaller share. But this time, Boss Cao not only didn't want to give him dividends, but he also wanted to swallow up his shares."

"what......."

"Guess how much Cao Laoda gave Cheng Zhiyuan?"

How much?

"They were only willing to give Cheng Zhiyuan 300,000 yuan, and even said that if he didn't take the 300,000 yuan, he wouldn't get any more in the future!"

Jiang Xueying sighed again and fell silent.

"Think about it, the Cheng family runs a nightclub business, and they have plenty of thugs working for them. They can't stand this kind of treatment. The Cao family has already retired from the nightclub business, so how could they possibly compete with Cheng Zhiyuan in this regard?"

"Ah, I see! Xiaofeng, can you talk to them? You're all roommates, you see each other all the time, there's no need to make things so tense!"

Li Xiaofeng sneered and said irritably, "Xueying, you think too highly of me. What is this? This is a battle for interests. Do you think my face is worth that much money? Or do you expect me to pay out of my own pocket to subsidize them?"

"We can't just stand by and watch them fight like that!"

"Between men, there has to be a winner and a loser. If it's a stalemate, and both men get tired of fighting, then they'll each take a step back, and only then is there a possibility of compromise!"
