After venting her displeasure, Chen Wanqiu no longer had the heart to buy a car. She took out her phone and called her boyfriend.
"Zhang Mingdong, didn't you say that bumpkin would stop bothering me from now on?"
Brother Leopard's incident had just happened recently when Zhang Mingdong got the news. He initially thought Yan Rufeng was just lucky, but he didn't expect Yan Rufeng to come to Zhongzhou again so quickly.
Already in a bad mood, Chen Wanqiu's angry call made Zhang Mingdong even more furious.
"That kid dares to come to Zhongzhou to harass Dong's woman again? Don't worry. This time, I won't let him leave Zhongzhou intact."
Chen Wanqiu could tell from the phone that Young Master Dong was very angry, so she felt relieved and began to act coquettishly.
"Honey, let's not talk about him. By the way, I went to buy a car today, and that red Reventon was bought by someone else." Chen Wanqiu said somewhat disappointedly.
"Qiu'er, don't worry about it. Tomorrow I will buy you an even better one."
With Zhang Mingdong's promise, Chen Wanqiu was immediately overjoyed. "I knew you cared the most about me, mwah!"
The sound of a flying kiss came through the phone, and Zhang Mingdong couldn't be more pleased.
"Honey, you should come back first. Tomorrow I'll take you to an auction."
"Why go there? I don't want to go!" Chen Wanqiu said disdainfully.
"Heh heh!"
Zhang Mingdong chuckled evilly and said, "I heard there will be jade pieces sculpted by a Master Jade Sculpture from Treasure Pavilion at the auction. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"Master Jade Sculpture's work, how much will that sell for? Just thinking about it is exciting."
Chen Wanqiu pouted and said coquettishly, "Honey, will you bid on it for me?"
"Of course I will. Besides, as Dong's woman, you deserve the best of everything!"
Zhang Mingdong's assured answer made Chen Wanqiu forget the displeasure caused by Yan Rufeng buying a car. She readily agreed to Zhang Mingdong's request and hung up the phone to head back.
Yan Rufeng returned to Jade Garden, parked the red Reventon in the garage, and then drove the white car to the company where he used to work.
He took out his phone and made a call. It took a while for the call to connect.
"Xiao Fei, what are you doing?"
On the other end, a drowsy voice answered, "Rufeng, haven't heard from you in a few days. Are you okay at home?"
Li Xiaofei, full name Li Xiaofei, was Yan Rufeng's colleague and fellow townsman. When Yan Rufeng had nothing, he was the only one who offered help.
"I didn't go back. I'm at the company entrance. Isn't today your day off? Come out, I'll return the money and treat you to a meal."
"Well, you haven't left? I don't urgently need the money. You can pay me back after you find a job."
"Stop talking, just come over." Yan Rufeng hung up the phone.
Li Xiaofei freshened up and left the dormitory, remembering to buy a pack of good cigarettes before heading to the company entrance.
As soon as he stepped out, he heard Yan Rufeng calling him.
"Xiao Fei, get in the car."
Li Xiaofei froze in place for a moment before reacting, stammering, "Ru... Rufeng, where did you get a Lamborghini?"
"Don't worry about it. Get in the car, and I'll take you for a spin."
Yan Rufeng pulled him into the car and handed him a cigarette. "Xiao Fei, smoke one of mine."
Then, he hit the gas pedal, and the car sped off towards Zhongzhou City Center like it was flying.
In the car, Li Xiaofei didn't dare to light the cigarette, fearing that the ash would fall inside.
Noticing this, Yan Rufeng, steering with one hand, picked up the lighter to light Xiao Fei's cigarette.
Seeing Yan Rufeng driving and trying to light his cigarette at the same time, Li Xiaofei hurriedly said, "Rufeng, let me do it. You focus on driving."
On the way, Li Xiaofei smoked silently, unsure of what to say. Yan Rufeng broke the silence.
"Xiao Fei, didn't you often say you wanted to work hard and buy a Lamborghini to pick up girls?"
Li Xiaofei laughed bitterly and said, "Rufeng, you still remember that? I was just saying it offhand. Even if I don't eat or drink for ten lifetimes, I couldn't afford a Lamborghini."
"Xiao Fei, don't sell yourself short. I believe in your ability."
Only then did Li Xiaofei turn his head in confusion. "Rufeng, it's only been a few days, and you're already driving a Lamborghini. Be honest with me, are you being kept?"
"Huh!"
Yan Rufeng frowned and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think it's definitely possible!"
"Xiao Fei, you make me speechless. If I were, would I still come to you today?"
"Who knows, you might come to me to introduce a rich woman to your brother." Li Xiaofei grinned mischievously.
"Stop, stop. Cut the nonsense. Let's talk business."
"There really is something?" Li Xiaofei thickened his face and asked, moving closer.
"Look at you, so lacking ambition. I want you to work with me from now on." Yan Rufeng replied helplessly.
"Oh."
Li Xiaofei frowned, replying disdainfully, "It's fine with me as long as I get to drive this Lamborghini for a while."
"Heh heh!"
Yan Rufeng tossed the car keys into Li Xiaofei's lap and smiled faintly. "Take it."
"You're really lending me this car?" Li Xiaofei asked in disbelief.
"Xiao Fei, what are you saying? This car isn't borrowed. From now on, it's your car."
Realizing Yan Rufeng wasn't joking, Li Xiaofei immediately got serious.
"Rufeng, as long as it's nothing against morality, I, Li Xiaofei, will follow you from now on."
"That's settled then."
Yan Rufeng parked the car in the lot of a luxury restaurant, and the two headed inside.
After dinner, Li Xiaofei, unable to contain his excitement, drove the Lamborghini away in a flash. He returned to the company and, in less than an hour, had completed the resignation procedures.
When he arrived at Jade Garden, he nervously used the key Yan Rufeng gave him to open the door of the luxurious mansion, collapsed on the sofa, and soon fell asleep.
After Li Xiaofei left, Yan Rufeng took a taxi to Treasure Pavilion.
As soon as he walked in, the staff exclaimed, "Mr. Zhang, Chairman, he's here."
Startled, Yan Rufeng quickly stepped back. After confirming he hadn't entered the wrong place, he walked in again, clearly spooked by the staff's loud announcement.
Mr. Zhang hurried over to greet Yan Rufeng upon hearing the commotion, but Yan Rufeng's attention was drawn to the elderly man behind him.
The elderly man was dressed very elegantly but held no airs of superiority, which showed his great sophistication.
"Little brother, visiting our store twice in one day must mean you have something important to discuss."
Mr. Zhang smiled and shook Yan Rufeng's hand, then introduced the elderly man behind him.
"Little brother, this is Mr. Su, the Chairman of Treasure Pavilion."
Yan Rufeng listened but showed no intention of forming a deeper connection, responding flatly, "Chairman Su, I am here to discuss a possible collaboration. If you are interested, we can sit down and talk."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang's face turned pale. He knew who Mr. Su was, even if others didn't.
Mr. Su, named Su Changqing, was not only the head of Treasure Pavilion but also the leader of the entire Su Group. The Su Group's extensive reach and wealth made it the top in Da Zhe Province, and it ranked prominently nationally as well.
Now, a reckless young man, leaning on his carving skills, speaks to such a figure as if they are equals. Mr. Zhang's heart was in his throat at that moment.
