Chapter 1472 - 1475: Buying Gifts (Five Updates!)

"Brother Feng, you said you called me out to pick some gifts for visits?" Zhu Xiuyue looked at Lin Feng with a somewhat amused expression. "Brother Feng, can I ask, how many gifts do you need to prepare for this New Year?"

It was a question that came with its own mockery, and only Zhu Xiuyue dared to ask directly like that. If Zhou Yang or Xiang Wang were to speak like this, they would probably have been knocked to the ground by Lin Feng’s punch...

However, even with Zhu Xiuyue asking, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a headache, his expression turned stiff all of a sudden.

"You’re so mouthy!" Lin Feng glared at Zhu Xiuyue fiercely and said in a deep voice... Then, Lin Feng silently calculated in his mind. So far, the people he needed to prepare visits gifts for seemed to be Tang Rou, Su Zi, Wu Mei, Ye Lin... Fortunately, it’s not too many! As for Xue Qingyi, because there are no elders in the family, the gift requires special preparation.

"Hahaha..." After Zhu Xiuyue laughed a few times, she pretended to explain to Lin Feng seriously, "Brother Feng, when it comes to visits gifts, practicality is secondary, the key point is that they must look good, and they must express your intentions!"

"Didn’t get it..." Lin Feng shook his head, "Just tell me directly what to buy!"

"Simply put, they have to be expensive!" Zhu Xiuyue pointed at the counter in the mall specializing in selling expensive gifts and told Lin Feng, "The more expensive, the better!"

"That makes it much simpler..." Lin Feng was now the second-largest shareholder of Longfeng Martial Hall, owning shares worth billions. Spending money was really no big deal for him.

"Premium cigarettes, alcohol, health products, these are classic visits gifts because compared to other items, their value is relatively high. But for you, Brother Feng, they seem a little beneath you..." Zhu Xiuyue said with a smile to Lin Feng. As his most competent assistant, she understood Lin Feng’s current worth the most, naturally knowing that those gifts which are hard for ordinary people to bear are just trivial in Lin Feng’s eyes.

"Xiuyue, I think the gifts should just be appropriate... they don’t need to be too showy!" Lin Feng smiled. Seeing these flashy gifts suddenly made him realize that things that can truly express intentions for ordinary people might not actually suit him.

These were Lin Feng’s true thoughts, but unfortunately, they were overheard by a couple nearby strolling, and then a sarcastic voice came out:

"Hehe... Darling, do you know, it’s my first time hearing someone being so consciously and refreshingly broke... Can’t afford it, just can’t afford it. Saying stuff like ’no need to be too showy,’ don’t you feel embarrassed?" The speaker was the flamboyantly dressed woman near Lin Feng. She looked around twenty years old, wearing a fur coat, half nestled against the middle-aged man beside her who could be her father. Holding a pair of lightly brown sunglasses, she cast a defiant glance at Lin Feng with narrow eyes and said disdainfully.

Obviously, this woman was sarcastically suggesting that Lin Feng was a poor pretender, claiming not to afford expensive things while saying he’s being low-key...

And speaking was this woman, though she was dressed all in brand names, the rustic air around her was very strong. No way did she look like she belonged with the old man beside her; a typical gold digger wanting to find a sense of superiority over Lin Feng.

"Cui Hua, don’t speak recklessly..." The middle-aged man, unsure whether feeling a little guilty for bringing this flamboyant woman out, glanced at Lin Feng. Seeing Lin Feng was just a regular-looking young man in his twenties, wearing ordinary clothes, he didn’t care much and quietly said to the woman.

Clearly, this middle-aged man’s quality level was a bit higher than the flamboyant woman’s. He also didn’t take Lin Feng seriously, choosing simply to ignore instead of stirring trouble like the woman.

Zhu Xiuyue reacted quickly, her face darkened immediately, glaring at the flamboyant woman and asking sternly, "Whom are you talking about, bitch?!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, surprised to encounter such a woman while shopping, really unlucky...

"Xiuyue, ignore her, don’t waste time..." Lin Feng shook his head, signaling Zhu Xiuyue not to argue with this self-important passerby. He had very important things to handle!

"Oh my, even dare to act tough now..." The flamboyant woman glanced back at Zhu Xiuyue, sneering, "Just a hillbilly woman, what’s there to be arrogant in front of me!"

While working at Longfeng Martial Hall, Zhu Xiuyue was always humble, personally doing base-level tasks like serving guests and arranging equipment. Hence, her clothes were never considered high-end. Plus, she had been busy cleaning for the New Year, so she was covered with dust, looking somewhat dirty, truly not like someone wealthy!

"You... what did you say?! You really think you’re somebody, don’t you!" Zhu Xiuyue glared angrily at the flamboyant woman, feeling annoyed. If she was alone and encountered this woman at the mall today, she might temporarily swallow her pride. But seeing Lin Feng taunted by such a woman, naturally, she couldn’t bear it and wanted to argue things out!

Seeing Zhu Xiuyue angry, Lin Feng felt even more headache. This girl had many good qualities, except her temper was a bit straightforward... What’s the point of arguing with such a woman?

Thinking for a moment, Lin Feng ignored Zhu Xiuyue’s anger towards the other party, directly dragging her away.

The flamboyant woman saw Lin Feng and Zhu Xiuyue "run away embarrassingly," naturally feeling even more proud...

"Humph, don’t know their place dare to offend me, can’t they see whom this girl is with?" Finishing her utterance, the flamboyant woman softly nestled against the middle-aged man’s chest and sweetly said, "Darling, isn’t it right..."

The middle-aged man initially wanted the woman to be low-profile to avoid attracting attention, but as the woman nestled like that, two soft mounds bounced against his hands, causing him to forget what he wanted to say. His hand subconsciously squeezed lightly, and a reflexive response came out...

The flamboyant woman smiled proudly, her expression even more arrogant.

...

"Brother Feng, why didn’t you let me argue with that bitch thoroughly? I’ve really never seen such a self-important woman; just someone kept by others, actually considering herself a princess. If you had let me speak, I would have scolded her so much she couldn’t show her face!" Zhu Xiuyue said sulkily.

"Didn’t I say... I’m in a hurry..." Lin Feng chuckled, didn’t say much to Zhu Xiuyue, to avoid adding fuel to the fire.
