Chapter 84: Men Conquer the World, Women Conquer Men
9:00 PM.
Lin Feng and the two women finally left the restaurant.
After they got downstairs, Lin Feng realized something.
He had been drinking and couldn’t drive.
This meant he either had to find a designated driver or leave the car here and come back for it tomorrow.
Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman realized this as well.
All three of them had driver’s licenses.
But unfortunately,
all three had drunk some red wine.
Even if it was just a couple of small sips, they had still been drinking.
Adhering to the principle of "if you drink, don’t drive; if you drive, don’t drink,"
Su Ruoxi was the one to speak up. "Brother Feng, let’s just come back for the car tomorrow."
"We can just get a taxi home."
This was what Lin Feng was thinking as well.
It would just be a little more trouble tomorrow, at most.
"Xiaoman, we’ve eaten and we’ve drunk. How about I hail a taxi for you to go home?"
Lin Feng looked at Lin Xiaoman.
But as soon as Lin Xiaoman heard him,
she immediately latched onto Su Ruoxi’s arm.
"Sending me off?"
"Aren’t you coming back with me?"
Lin Xiaoman retorted.
"Ahem, well, I have something I need to do. You go on ahead."
Lin Feng didn’t quite know how to say it.
He had a little something in mind, but it wasn’t something he could say out loud.
But hearing Lin Feng’s words, both Lin Xiaoman and Su Ruoxi knew exactly what he was planning.
A blush inevitably crept onto Su Ruoxi’s face.
Although she hadn’t known Lin Feng for long,
deep down in her heart,
she wasn’t against *that kind of thing* happening with him.
The only thing she might be hesitant about was it happening in a hotel.
Su Ruoxi remained silent.
But Lin Xiaoman spoke up.
"If you have something to do, then go do it."
"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of my sister-in-law."
With that, Lin Xiaoman raised her hand and hailed a taxi that was just passing by.
She started pulling Su Ruoxi toward the car.
"Wait!"
Lin Feng quickly stopped Lin Xiaoman.
"Lin Xiaoman, wasn’t a steak worth tens of thousands enough to make you behave?"
"Do you still want that necklace or not?"
Lin Feng threatened, glaring at her.
In the past,
whenever Lin Feng glared at her,
Lin Xiaoman would have backed down.
But this time, not only did she not back down,
she even took a step forward.
"This is for bullying me this afternoon!"
After saying her piece, Lin Xiaoman tried to pull Su Ruoxi away again.
Lin Feng was about to say something else,
but Su Ruoxi stopped.
"Xiaoman, hold on."
"Let me say a couple of words to your brother."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoman finally let go of Su Ruoxi’s hand.
Su Ruoxi walked over to Lin Feng’s side.
Then, she leaned in close to his ear.
She whispered a single sentence.
Lin Feng’s eyes instantly lit up.
"You’re the one who said it! You can’t run away when the time comes!"
Lin Feng tilted his head to look at Su Ruoxi, who was right in front of him, his face full of excitement.
"Mhm, I said it."
Seeing Lin Feng’s reaction,
Su Ruoxi couldn’t help but smile.
Men conquer the world, but women conquer men.
Seeing Lin Feng get so excited after hearing her words,
made Su Ruoxi quite happy.
"Alright, you two go on then. I’ll go home and sleep by myself."
Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He gave Su Ruoxi a kiss on the forehead and said,
A short distance away, Lin Xiaoman watched the two of them, completely baffled.
’From Lin Feng’s initial reluctance...’
’to his current look of satisfaction...’
’all it took was a single sentence?’
In the end, Su Ruoxi left with Lin Xiaoman,
leaving Lin Feng all by himself.
But not only did Lin Feng not feel any sense of loss,
he was actually a little excited.
’Some things really are a blessing in disguise.’
As for what Su Ruoxi had said...
Su Ruoxi could say it, Lin Feng could hear it, but it cannot be written down.
If it were written, it would probably get reported.
So, Lin Feng could just think about it himself.
And look forward to it a little.
No indecent thoughts allowed.
He had just raised his hand to hail a taxi
when Lin Feng’s phone rang again.
Lin Feng thought it was Su Ruoxi calling, that she must have left something behind.
But after taking out his phone, he saw it was an unknown number.
However, when he saw the words "real estate agent" on the screen, Lin Feng knew who was calling.
He glanced at the time. It wasn’t late, but it wasn’t early either.
’Look at properties at this hour?’
After a moment’s thought, Lin Feng answered the call anyway.
"Hello, Miss Lü."
Lin Feng greeted her first.
"Mr. Lin, you actually remember me?"
On the other end of the line, Lü Na sounded shocked, though Lin Feng couldn’t tell if it was genuine.
In any case, she said the words.
"Are you finished with your business now?"
"If you have time, I’d like to take you to see a storefront."
For some reason, Lü Na’s voice
sounded somewhat fatigued to Lin Feng.
As if she were very tired.
"I might be a bit far away right now."
"And it’s already so late. How about we do it tomorrow?"
Lin Feng thought about it and decided to refuse.
"That’s no problem, Mr. Lin."
"Aren’t you in a hurry to find a storefront?"
"Tonight, I can first introduce you to a few of the properties."
"That way, when you go to see them with me tomorrow, you’ll already have a basic understanding."
"It’ll be more convenient for you that way."
"After all, you’re buying a property in the tens of millions. It’s never wrong to know more."
"Don’t you agree?"
Lü Na seemed determined to not take no for an answer.
But Lin Feng thought about it and realized she had a point.
If he could get some information early,
it would save him some trouble when he went to see the properties tomorrow.
"Alright."
"Come on over, then. I’m at Fuyue Restaurant."
After giving her his location, Lin Feng hung up the phone.
He looked around, found a place, and went inside.
As the domestic economy developed, all sorts of entertainment facilities had sprung up to match.
Bars, in particular, were a common sight in the country’s more developed cities.
But bars came in different types.
Quiet bars and nightclubs.
The former were quieter and smaller in scale.
The latter were on another level; even a small investment was in the tens of millions.
A larger one could easily run into the hundreds of millions.
This was Lin Feng’s first time in a place like this.
’Well, I’m here now anyway.’
Besides, the atmosphere wasn’t noisy.
At most, the lighting was a bit dim.
But that was hardly a problem.
There was a small stage in the middle of the room.
A young woman was on it, singing a folk song called "My Jiefang West."
’Singing about Jiefang West here in Xiang City... interesting.’
’She’s pretty good, though.’
After scanning the room, Lin Feng found an empty seat that wasn’t too out of the way and sat down.
A young male waiter holding a tablet immediately came over.
"Hello, sir. What would you like to drink?"
He said, handing the tablet to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced at the tablet.
It was filled with a bunch of fancy-sounding names.
Things like "Heart of the Ocean" and "Passionate Love."
Even though there were pictures, with this kind of thing,
unless you’d had it before,
you had no idea what it actually was until it arrived.
Lin Feng could only hand the tablet back to the waiter.
"I don’t know any of these. Just get me something non-alcoholic."
’If you don’t know, just ask.’
’No need to pretend like I know everything,’
’and end up ordering something I can’t even drink.’
Lin Feng didn’t have a particular fondness for alcohol.
He had also never been drunk before.
Of course, his never having been drunk didn’t mean he could hold his liquor like a champion.
It was because Lin Feng always knew his limit when he drank.
Once he’d had about enough, he would stop.
After all, he’d be the one suffering if he drank until he threw up.
"Of course, sir."
The waiter didn’t show any strange expression upon hearing Lin Feng’s request.
"In that case, I’ll get you a lemonade. I think you’ll like it."
After tapping the tablet a few times, the waiter spoke again.
"That works."
Lemonade was something Lin Feng could accept.
He took out his phone and opened up his payment QR code.
Fifty-two yuan for a glass of lemonade.
’What a nice-sounding number.’
A glass of lemonade that cost a dozen or so yuan outside was worth fifty-two yuan the moment you walked through this door.
But fifty-two yuan to the current Lin Feng
was just a matter of taking a couple more breaths.
’Yep, already earned it back.’
Sitting in a relatively inconspicuous spot,
with a young woman singing folk songs nearby,
and with his lemonade arriving two minutes later,
Lin Feng finally had some time to check the rewards from his system.
He had been interrupted by Lin Xiaoman earlier before he could take a proper look at the system’s reward.
Now was the perfect time to check it out.
The system had previously rewarded Lin Feng with ten million in cash.
This meant his current cash balance had reached 14,500,000!
After accounting for his spending over the past few days,
and adding in the Money Blessing, it had reached 14,520,000!
He originally thought he would only become a ten-millionaire
after using the 90% Off Property Card.
But now,
his cash balance alone had surpassed ten million!
The difference was quite significant.
More importantly, Lin Feng’s daily Money Blessing was now over a hundred thousand yuan!
Before long,
Lin Feng’s cash balance would reach twenty million!
