NOVEL WEB Chapter 640: Trying Your Luck?
After leaving the Chu Group Building, through Jiang Feng's brief introduction, Chu Feifei learned that Mu Yanluo was a helper Jiang Feng specifically found for her.
For this, she was even more touched beyond words, because even though Jiang Feng was not at the company, his heart was always with her!
Jiang Feng and Chu Feifei got into Mu Yanluo's car together.
Due to Feng Yueji's special status, it was not convenient for her to join them.
She is the Queen of West City, a big name with a strong reputation, known by many. It would look inappropriate, so Jiang Feng asked her to return first.
Feng Yueji was helpless about this.
Not being able to personally accompany Jiang Feng through this tough time felt like a regret, and if Jiang Feng really succeeded, she would miss the chance to witness a miracle.
But there was no choice; she could only leave in her Lamborghini.
Sitting in Mu Yanluo's Volvo S40, before Jiang Feng could ask Mu Yanluo to drive, his phone rang, showing that it was a call from Zhu Ge Yuheng.
Jiang Feng knew the reason Zhu Ge Yuheng was calling—it surely was about the things that happened in the meeting room, which he had already heard about.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard that today after Fei'er went to the group, she was met with cold treatment and criticism, and even some disparaging voices. Is that true?"
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Feng answered the call, Zhu Ge Yuheng on the other end spoke angrily.
"More or less, but it's temporarily resolved now," Jiang Feng said calmly.
"That bastard Zhu Houzhao is simply a fool! Mr. Jiang, wait for me, I'll personally go to the group to clear things up and restore your and Fei'er's good names!" Zhu Ge Yuheng said with righteous indignation.
He didn't expect that wanting just a short break would bring such trouble to Fei'er and Jiang Feng, and he was really regretful, unable to sit still.
He had always been loyal and worked hard to protect Chu Feifei, but now he let her suffer from doubt and accusations, which felt worse than being killed!
"There's no need. If you come now, they'll think I'm incompetent and had to pressure you to come and clean up the mess."
Jiang Feng smiled, "You just rest easy; I'll handle these trivial little things!"
Trivial?
Zhu Ge Yuheng was a bit speechless at Jiang Feng's words.
He had also heard that Jiang Feng, in order to intimidate those people and silence all the doubts about Chu Feifei, had boasted that he would earn five hundred million in a day!
But even with his brains, he couldn't think of how Jiang Feng could achieve such a miraculous feat.
"Let's leave it at that. Some things Chu Feifei will have to face sooner or later; solving it early is better than solving it late." Jiang Feng said calmly and then hung up the phone.
...
After the car left Chu Group, Jiang Feng did not say where to go, so Mu Yanluo just drove aimlessly around the streets.
"Uncle, have you figured out how to make money?"
Chu Feifei sat in the back, asking worriedly.
Through the brief time together, Chu Feifei had become somewhat familiar with Mu Yanluo.
Although Jiang Feng did not reveal that she was Mr. Scar's sister, he did introduce her as exceptionally capable, fully able to be Chu Feifei's right-hand woman.
Chu Feifei always believed in Jiang Feng's words without question, so she sincerely accepted Mu Yanluo, letting her be her assistant from then on.
"No."
Jiang Feng casually asked Mu Yanluo to park the car by the roadside, then got out to walk, taking the two women for a stroll.
"Then you must have some plan?" Chu Feifei asked again, unwilling to give up.
"Still no."
"I'm dizzy!"
Chu Feifei was utterly speechless, realizing Jiang Feng didn't even have a target for making money; he was simply relying on enthusiasm and hoping for luck?
But five hundred million, is this something that can be solved by luck?
This made her, who usually had blind faith in Jiang Feng, have to admit that he was too overreaching, treating bold claims as a joke!
Mu Yanluo, too, had never seen this side of Jiang Feng, and for a moment, didn't know what to say, only remaining silently by his side.
The three of them walked, and before they knew it, they found themselves on a quaint, antique-style street.
This street wasn't far from the Chu Group, but it had a completely different style from the skyscrapers over there; it was styled after the Ming and Qing periods, with flying cornices and intricate structures, filled with a strong sense of history.
On both sides of the street were well-established antique shops, exquisitely decorated.
There were also many street stalls.
"Uncle, why did you bring Sister Mu and me here? This is Binhai's largest antique street, and it's my first time here."
Under normal circumstances, being able to take a walk in a place like this with Jiang Feng would maybe make Chu Feifei feel happy and excited.
But now, her mind was heavy, and she found everything here tasteless and couldn't focus.
"Antiques?" Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Looking ahead, he saw tourists stopping in front of stalls, squatting and carefully admiring some items.
Presumably, they were hoping to pick out one or two treasures from a heap of cheap goods, the so-called "picking the leak."
For this, Jiang Feng chuckled to himself.
Isn't this the so-called searching everywhere without finding it, only to obtain it effortlessly?
Growing up in the Jiang Family, no matter how you say it, those ancient memories were buried deep in his mind.
As a young master of a prominent family in the Capital City, even just by being around, he had seen and heard much more than the average person and remembered well.
Plus, as a child, he used to cause a lot of mischief, often leading a group of yard friends to run wild in Pan Garden and the Glass Factory, as if it were his own backyard.
That kind of experience, kept till today, could be considered a precious treasure.
He started to seriously observe his surroundings.
Only to see that on the street stalls of this antique street, almost everything was fake, with some forgeries done so poorly that he couldn't stand to look at them.
Chu Feifei, after a glance, lost interest and suggested that Jiang Feng go and look somewhere else.
"No rush, let's keep wandering," Jiang Feng shook his head, his eyes continuing to scan around.
"Uncle, you're not thinking of making money in a place like this, are you?"
Chu Feifei suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Jiang Feng with an incredulous expression.
Even Mu Yanluo felt Jiang Feng was being a bit too imaginative.
Even if he did find one or two genuine items here, they wouldn't fetch much money. Trying to get five hundred million was like a fantasy!
"Uncle, there are a lot of swindlers in places like this! Not just the stalls, even in the formal antique shops, everything is fake! Those so-called appraisal certificates from organizations are also fake!"
Chu Feifei twitched her delicate nose and sincerely advised Jiang Feng.
"Oh? How do you know this?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
"My dad was cheated before!" Chu Feifei said earnestly, "Those antique dealers' forgery skills are so advanced, they can almost pass fake for real, and without quite professional insight, you can't tell them apart!"
"Don't worry, I won't be fooled." Jiang Feng smiled and suddenly seeing a store nearby, casually said, "This shop is quite big, let's go in and take a look."
