Chapter 209: Chapter 209: So You Were Jealous, You Old-Society Exploiter

After leaving the store.

Lin Feng noticed that the mission countdown displayed in the system only had less than ten minutes left.

Lin Feng took Su Ruoxi directly to a nearby coffee shop and sat down.

Lin Feng had already noticed Su Ruoxi’s awkwardness and embarrassment.

’This is a great opportunity to complete the mission.’

So, Lin Feng said, "Ruoxi, we should be the closest people to each other!"

"What was it just now that made you so down?"

Su Ruoxi was slightly taken aback...

She lowered her head.

Half out of shyness, half out of awkwardness.

Lin Feng didn’t press her further, waiting quietly instead.

This time.

Lin Feng had a hunch.

Su Ruoxi would definitely explain the reason.

After a moment of silence, Su Ruoxi finally spoke. "It’s not really your fault... It’s just my own thoughts."

Lin Feng looked at Su Ruoxi.

Su Ruoxi’s gaze was a little evasive.

"Brother Feng... I just feel like you’re becoming more and more exceptional, and the gap between us seems to have grown a lot."

"And the people around you are also outstanding. I feel that if this continues, we won’t have anything in common to talk about anymore."

As she said this, Su Ruoxi’s eyes were already welling up with tears.

Lin Feng quickly understood.

"Are you talking about Huizi?"

Just before Su Ruoxi had gotten upset, Lin Feng had just finished talking with Huizi.

They were mainly discussing work-related matters.

He hadn’t expected it to make Su Ruoxi so sensitive.

The reason was out.

Lin Feng could roughly guess it.

Because Su Dingsheng had abandoned her in the past, Su Ruoxi suffered from a bit of insecurity.

Although Lin Feng had put Dingsheng Real Estate in Su Ruoxi’s hands. ℯ

But clearly, Huizi’s existence and her competence had made Su Ruoxi feel a pang of jealousy.

’So after all that, she was just a little jealous.’

Lin Feng smiled faintly and shook his head.

He patted Su Ruoxi’s hand. "In my opinion, you’re worrying about nothing."

Hearing Lin Feng say this, Su Ruoxi’s expression faltered.

"Ruoxi, you are also very exceptional."

"Besides, you’re growing, and I’m growing too. How can you be so sure that you’ll fall behind?"

"I gave you Dingsheng Real Estate because I hoped you could get some practice and develop even greater abilities."

"Our careers will also intersect."

"It’s not like we’ll have nothing to talk about in the future."

Lin Feng wasn’t one to speak empty words.

Instead, he honestly and practically laid things out for Su Ruoxi.

Su Ruoxi thought about how insistent Lin Feng was about giving her Dingsheng Real Estate.

The feeling of dejection in her heart gradually subsided.

Lin Feng glanced at Su Ruoxi and said, "Besides, Huizi is my secretary. Handling those matters is her job."

This sentence immediately made Su Ruoxi’s face flush slightly.

Her jealousy was certainly a driving force behind her dejection.

’He saw right through my petty, jealous thoughts...’

She felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Feng didn’t say anything more. The remaining time was for Su Ruoxi to think quietly.

There were many things she needed to figure out for herself.

She had to pull herself out of the hole she had dug.

"Brother Feng, I think I’ll go to Dingsheng Real Estate tomorrow. I want to try my hand at the Joy City project."

The moment Su Ruoxi spoke again,

Lin Feng heard the system’s voice in his mind.

[DING...]

[Congratulations, Host, for completing the hidden mission.]

[Now dispensing a random reward.]

[Random Reward: One new mission. Does the Host choose to accept?]

Lin Feng’s expression froze when he heard this.

He never would have imagined that the random reward would be another brand-new mission.

’What kind of reward is this?’

From the moment he got this system until now,

this was the first time Lin Feng had ever received such a bizarre reward.

It was like a chain puzzle.

However, Lin Feng still trusted the system a great deal.

After all, the system had never given him anything bad.

In fact, a mission that linked to another like this actually piqued Lin Feng’s interest.

"Of course I accept."

After Lin Feng chose to accept,

the system displayed:

[Related information will be sent to the Host’s mind in ten minutes. Please be ready to receive it.]

’This step-by-step process is really keeping me in suspense.’

But it did make Lin Feng incomparably interested in this new mission.

Since he wouldn’t receive the specific mission details for another ten minutes,

Lin Feng decided not to focus on it for now.

Just as he looked up, he heard Su Ruoxi speak.

The Joy City project could be said to be Dingsheng Real Estate’s most valuable project at the moment.

And this project was already part of the city’s official commercial development plan.

There were a lot of intricacies involved.

Su Ruoxi had chosen such a tough nut to crack for her first real test.

Her courage was truly commendable.

"Since you want to give it a try, then go for it. I’ve got your back no matter what."

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

Su Ruoxi’s traitorous heart began to beat faster.

’So this is what it feels like to have someone to rely on!’

On the way back, Lin Feng could clearly feel that Su Ruoxi had become even more reliant on him than before.

...

After dropping Su Ruoxi off at her apartment,

Lin Feng still had to go back to the company to handle some matters.

The main thing was that Chen Jun’s 500 million yuan had arrived.

There were also some other things he needed to discuss with Vice President Li and the others at the company.

It was mainly about pulling liquid capital from some other projects.

Right now, although there was some overlap between the investment company’s various projects, they were also more or less independent of each other.

This semi-independent, semi-cooperative development model actually filled the projects with a competitive drive.

Yang Qiniang had already been at the company all day.

Previously, Lin Feng had taken out several million and given it to the recent graduates from Yang City University who had been interviewed by the company.

He let them use it to make trades and manage operations.

Yang Qiniang was mainly in charge of monitoring this matter.

After all, Yang Qiniang had to find people among them who performed exceptionally well and had suitable temperaments.

Sitting on either side of Yang Qiniang were Lin Feng’s other two roommates.

This task was originally the responsibility of the HR department.

The two had rotated into the HR department and were unfortunately roped in by Yang Qiniang as extra hands.

They hadn’t had a single bite to eat all day, and both of them were feeling pretty miserable.

"You’re just like an old-school exploiter."

"Even the farmhands of old-time landlords got three meals a day. I didn’t even have lunch!"

Cao Ming abruptly threw down his pen, clutched his stomach, and started wailing.

Yang Qiniang said helplessly, "Who would have thought that HR would need the files on these people so urgently around lunchtime?"

"Who doesn’t work overtime these days?"

"I’ll make the call today. I’ll let you two get off early this afternoon, and we’ll go out for a meal!"

Jiang Chao and Cao Ming immediately stopped their wailing and looked at Yang Qiniang expectantly. "Are you treating?"

Yang Qiniang smiled and nodded.

Lin Feng walked in at that very moment.

At this time,

the several computers in Yang Qiniang’s office were all connected to the internal surveillance network.

It was to observe the operations of these recent graduates.

It was also to observe their character and mindset.

"Brother Feng, you’re here!"

"We were just talking about going out for a meal after work. You in?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. "I came over today mainly to coordinate some things with the various departments, so I definitely can’t leave early."

"You guys go ahead."

Yang Qiniang was, of course, well aware that Lin Feng had 500 million in funds that just came in.

Plus, he knew Lin Feng planned to manage this capital himself.

So, Yang Qiniang had a good idea of what needed to be discussed with the departments.

So he didn’t insist.

"In that case, Brother Feng, you get to it. Our department has about twenty million in liquid capital that we can give you then."

Lin Feng nodded.

Just as he was about to turn and leave,

his phone rang.

A closer look revealed it was a call from an acquaintance.

Wang Zongjie!

Lin Feng suddenly remembered that Wang Zongjie had invited him to a gathering before.

But then he hadn’t heard anything more about it.

Lin Feng hadn’t paid it much mind anyway, and over time, he had forgotten about it.

He wondered if Wang Zongjie was calling about that gathering this time.

Lin Feng sat down on the sofa and answered Wang Zongjie’s call.
