Chapter 1176: Chapter 1221: You Know Too Well
"There are abalones with three heads?" Wu Yuying asked curiously at this mont.
ng Xiaofei imdiately responded: "Yes, there are three-headed ones, two-headed ones, and even four or five-headed ones."
Shen Yuying also picked up an abalone, looked at it carefully from all angles, and said: "Really? But all the abalones I’ve eaten always look like this; I’ve never seen any with several heads."
Zheng Yuyang laughed and said, "What Xiaofei is talking about isn’t about the abalone having several heads on its body, but rather it ans how many abalones make up a pound. Double-headed abalone ans two abalones make a pound, those are the biggest abalones. A three-headed one ans three make up a pound, so they are a bit smaller."
"So that’s how it is, I really learned sothing new," Shen Yuying said with slight embarrassnt.
Yang Yudong quickly added, "That’s right, Yuyang usually eats the double-headed abalones, never anything smaller than that."
This statent was sowhat boastful. Double-headed abalone, being a top-notch seafood, usually costs thousands per piece. Yang Yudong spending thirty to fifty thousand for a class reunion might be feasible and could show off such extravagance, but it’s usually just once a year and still affordable.
These double-headed abalones aren’t sothing one would casually indulge in; after all, he’s not a direct descendant of the Zheng family and can’t draw too much money from ho. If he ate double-headed abalones every day, it would cost a fortune.
ng Xiaofei, however, wasn’t that calculating and imdiately widened her eyes, saying to Zheng Yuyang, "Squad leader Zheng, aren’t you being too extravagant?"
Zheng Yuyang just laughed, "It’s just an occasional indulgence. By the way, Xiaofei, where have you been hanging out lately?"
"I’ve been at my boyfriend’s house," ng Xiaofei said nonchalantly as she snapped off another crab leg and chewed vigorously.
Zheng Yuyang took another look at Li Yifei, then asked ng Xiaofei, "You aren’t secretly together with him, are you?"
ng Xiaofei chuckled, "You guessed right."
"I knew it..." Zheng Yuyang suddenly understood. If ng Xiaofei’s family knew, they would surely want her to marry a high official or a rich tycoon’s son. Since her family doesn’t know, she can naturally be with a common man now.
His previous suspicion towards Li Yifei transford into disdain and contempt at this mont, emotions fueled by jealousy. Zheng Yuyang couldn’t have ng Xiaofei, yet an ordinary person like Li Yifei could, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Giving Li Yifei a sidelong glance, Zheng Yuyang remarked, "Li Yifei, you really are lucky." He couldn’t provoke ng Xiaofei, but that didn’t an he couldn’t provoke Li Yifei.
Li Yifei, noticing sothing in Zheng Yuyang’s gaze, couldn’t help but laugh. This fellow was actually looking for trouble; how boring, he thought, "I think so too."
"However, not everyone can be ssed with so easily, you better be careful."
"Thank you for the warning, I’ll take note," Li Yifei responded, not engaging in a verbal fight with Zheng Yuyang. His current status, his current mindset, made him see Zheng Yuyang as an inconsequential wealthy young master, like an adult viewing a child, who wouldn’t bother arguing with the child no matter how brash they were.
At this mont, Yang Yudong interjected, "Hey, Li Yifei, when Yuyang talks to you, you should take it seriously. I heard you do so small business, right? If Yuyang just casually ntions sothing, it could make you a fortune."
This guy had an incredible ability to read the room. Just from the few words Zheng Yuyang and Li Yifei exchanged, he knew exactly what to do,
"Is that so? Well, I really appreciate that."
Yang Yudong said proudly, "Of course, Yuyang has a lot of sway in the provincial city. He has connections in every departnt. If you need to handle so paperwork, it’s just a word from Yuyang. It’s also because Yuyang isn’t a bad person. If he wanted to, with just a word, he could ruin you, make sure you can’t accomplish anything—even if you’re in Mile City."
Li Yifei nodded repeatedly, looking very earnest, and said, "Then I’m truly lucky, thank you Zheng Yuyang for not ruining ."
ng Xiaofei burst into laughter at Li Yifei’s serious deanor. Li Yifei quickly grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth, saying, "Look at you, laughing while eating. It would be so uncomfortable if you choked."
ng Xiaofei’s face was a bit red, yet she thoroughly enjoyed the way Li Yifei was taking care of her, and she looked at him with tender eyes, radiating happiness.
"Wow, such a loving couple." Shen Yuying said teasingly.
Zheng Yuyang frowned; ng Xiaofei was soone he dared not provoke, but that did not an he had no interest in her. Previously, with her family watching over her while she was still a student, and now she had a boyfriend who seed quite ordinary, at least in his eyes. This rekindled his thoughts about her.
Since ng Xiaofei could have an ordinary boyfriend and it seed there were no issues, if he could drive that boyfriend away, he might have a great opportunity. Not getting much favor at ho, marrying ng Xiaofei could an gaining her family’s support. That would show those at ho that Zheng Yuyang also had prospects.
With this thought, Zheng Yuyang began scheming and quickly ca up with a plan. He crossed his legs and lit a cigarette, saying, "Li Yifei, since you are in business and Xiaofei and I are old classmates, I should naturally lend a hand. Tell
about your company."
Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, but I don’t have big ambitions. A small company is enough; anything bigger and I won’t have ti to spend with Xiaofei."
Yang Yudong imdiately said, "That’s not right to say. Our Yuyang doesn’t just help anyone. It’s your good fortune that he wants to help. It would be a great benefit to you; how could you not seize it?"
Shen Yuying also quickly added, "Yes, don’t miss such a good opportunity. You currently earn a few hundred thousand a year, but with Chief Zheng’s help, you could be making millions."
To others, Li Yifei seemingly t a high benefactor. With Zheng Yuyang’s wealth and influence, just a little help would skyrocket Li Yifei to success. For them, it was a trendous blessing, like a pie falling from the sky; they were all currying favor with Zheng Yuyang to receive so of that help.
Unfortunately, what they saw as a great opportunity, Li Yifei simply shook his head at, saying, "I prefer to strive on my own. It’s more enjoyable that way. Thank you for the kind offer, Chief Zheng."
Zheng Yuyang did not expect Li Yifei to say that, thwarting his next moves. He hastily glanced at Yang Yudong, who truly understood Zheng Yuyang well and imdiately expressed displeasure, "Li Yifei, you really don’t appreciate what’s good for you. Do you know how valuable a word from Yuyang is? Do you know how many major company CEOs Yuyang knows? A single word from him could get you nurous big contracts. You’re trying to start a business on your own; it’s laughable. To miss such a good opportunity, I really don’t know what Xiaofei sees in you."
Before Li Yifei could speak, Yang Yudong continued, "Although you have a small company, no offense, but the chance of your small business making money today and failing tomorrow is quite high. Then what will you use to support our Xiaofei? She was the beauty of our class, our treasure. If you don’t give her a good life, we definitely won’t let you off easy. If you want to make your company good and big, you have to rely on our Yuyang, ensuring your business flourishes and grows. Not to say your company will be among the top 500 in the world, but it will definitely be among the top few in Mile City."
Li Yifei was inwardly flustered. Even the Ye family wouldn’t dare claim that just starting a company could beco top-ranking in a city. In Capital City’s major families, pulling off such a feat involved many complex factors and balances between big families; it wasn’t sothing that could be easily achieved. Yang Yudong truly saw Zheng Yuyang as one of the most powerful figures in the province.
However, everyone else did not comprehend the implications and believed Li Yifei was unwise after hearing Yang Yudong speaking so confidently.
"Ah! What? Okay, don’t worry, we’ll be right there."
At that mont, a young man suddenly exclaid, drawing everyone’s attention to him.
"What happened?" Soone quickly asked.
The young man imdiately replied, "Hou Jianwei’s car got into an accident, and now the other party has surrounded him, not letting him leave. Looks like the other party has a lot of clout."
Zheng Yuyang imdiately glared and said, "Shit, tell Hou Jianwei not to worry, I’ll be right there to see who dares to be so bold."
Hearing this, the young man was overjoyed and imdiately spoke into the phone, "Don’t worry, Yuyang is on his way, he’ll handle it."
Yang Yudong then added, "This is really a trivial matter. Whether it’s the Traffic Police Team or the matters of the lawful world and Underworld, a word from our Yuyang is all it takes. Best that fellow doesn’t act tough, or he’ll have to face the consequences."
Everyone imdiately started making a commotion, heading out, and Li Yifei looked at ng Xiaofei, who giggled and said, "There will be excitent to watch; we can’t miss it."
Li Yifei smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "If you want to watch, then let’s go have a look."
ng Xiaofei imdiately hooked her arm through Li Yifei’s, pressing her ample bust tightly against his arm. This intimacy was sothing Li Yifei imnsely enjoyed.
