Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Once Jiang Feng came out, the employees began to gather around him enthusiastically again. He cleared his throat and waved his hand as he said, “It’s thanks to everyone that the company made so much money this time. Everyone, don’t praise me. I’ll visit the company another day. I have things to attend to so I can’t stay and chat. Work hard, and there’ll be a bonus at the end of the month!”

“President Jiang, you’re too kind! We won’t bother you anymore! Please go and attend to your matters.”

The employees did not disperse immediately. Instead, their eyes shone brightly as they looked at Jiang Feng.

“Good luck, everyone,” Jiang Feng said with a perfunctory smile.

At this time, an employee said, “President Jiang, do you need me to drive you around?”

!!

“President Jiang, I can be your driver! You don’t need to pay me. I just want to chat with you!”

“Me too! I’ve been driving for many years! I guarantee that you’ll have smooth rides when I’m driving!”

All the employees smiled ingratiatingly. All of them wanted to flatter Jiang Feng. Since he was able to help Cinda Financial earn several million, there was no doubt that he was very capable. Perhaps, if they interacted with him more, they might become like him. Even if they could not be like him, it was still very good to be able to learn a thing or two from him.

Jiang Feng was a little overwhelmed by his employees’ enthusiasm. He wondered if he should enter and leave using the back door next time. He did not expect that there would be such a commotion whenever he appeared.

“No need, no need. You guys should return to your work. I can drive. Thank you,” Jiang Feng said politely.

The male employees were envious while the female employees were infatuated with their god-like boss. Not only was he very capable, but he was also very friendly. Zhang Qidong was not even this friendly when he was the boss.

Jiang Feng was rich and handsome. If possible, the female employees really wanted to marry him immediately. Now, he was earning several hundred million. In the future, who knew how many billion he would earn? Regardless, it would be a blessing to be his wife.

…

After Jiang Feng left the company, he sighed in relief. He felt like he was going to be blinded by his employees’ shining eyes.

At this time, Jiang Feng’s phone began to ring. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the caller.

It was none other than Shen Wen, the person who mocked him and abandoned him when he announced his bankruptcy.

‘Why is he suddenly calling me?’

After answering the call, Jiang Feng asked coldly, “Shen Wen, what’s the matter?”

“Jiang Feng, I was wrong before. I thought about it carefully. I lost you as a good friend due to my selfishness. I treated me so well, but I let you down,” Shen Wen said as his voice became increasingly low. It sounded as though he was sincere.

Shen Wen continued to say, “Jiang Feng, I was wrong. Can we return to the way things were? Let’s have meals together and sing together. Even when we have families of our own, let’s continue to be in each other’s lives. I was a bast*rd before. After I made money, I forgot about you. I should really slap myself three times in front of you. If I were you, I’d be angry as well.”

After a pause, Shen Wen asked, “Do you have time to go for a meal?”

‘Slap himself three times in front of me? What a good idea!’ Jiang Feng’s eyes lit up. He was not a fool. How could Shen Wen change his ways so quickly? Shen Wen must have heard some rumors.

Since Shen Wen was so eager to admit his mistakes and reconcile with him, Jiang Feng would be a good person for now. It was a good opportunity for him to probe what kind of rumors Shen Wen heard. As such, he said, “Alright. What about now?”

Jiang Feng agreed so readily that Shen Wen was unable to react for a moment. He was delighted when he recovered his senses and hurriedly said, “Then, I’ll come and pick you up. Where are you now?”

“I’m at Primo Dragon Bank on Tianxuan Street,” Jiang Feng said. He was naturally happy to let someone pick him up. He had to keep a low profile and not let others know that he was now the owner of Cinda Financial. It was best to say he was at the bank on Tianxuan Street.

“I’ll be there in ten minutes!”

…

After ending the call, Shen Wen left in a hurry. He could not let this big fish go. Previously, he had been blind. If he did not fall out with Jiang Feng earlier, he would have earned a lot of money. Now, he was going to get back what should have been his.

…

Jiang Feng walked to Primo Dragon Bank and waited there. It did not take long before a Land Rover pulled up in front of him.

Shen Wen got out of the car and hastily opened the passenger door for Jiang Sheng. He was extremely enthusiastic.

“Jiang Feng, come!”

Jiang Feng nodded lightly, and his expression was indifferent as he entered the car.

Shen Wen’s eyes flashed as he asked, sounding concerned, “Did you manage to raise enough money for your little sister’s medical fees? I still have some money saved up. If you don’t have enough, I can lend it to you.”

Jiang Feng naturally saw through Shen Wen’s scheming thoughts. He said lightly in a mocking tone, “I’ve raised enough money. If I had waited for you, I would’ve already been kicked out of the hospital.”

Shen Wen’s expression changed, but he quickly adjusted it. He asked with a contrite expression on his face, “Do you still blame me? I was really wrong, and I went down the wrong path. However, I know my mistakes now.”

At the same time, Shen Wen thought to himself darkly, ‘This Jiang Feng really doesn’t know what’s good for him. I’ve already said so much, but he still refuses to forgive me. It seems like I’d have to do more. Otherwise, it seems like he really won’t forgive me.’

Shen Wen deliberately chose a western restaurant with an elegant interior and quiet environment. He said enthusiastically, “I remember when we were in school, we didn’t have any money. At that time, we said we’d come to a western restaurant once we made money. However, up until now, we’ve never been to a western restaurant together.”

Jiang Feng remained indifferent. “Is that so? Then, we’ll have to order more later. Otherwise, we won’t be able to live up to our previous promise.”

Shen Wen said cheerfully, “That’s right, that’s right. I was wrong before so today’s meal is on me. Jiang Feng, you can order whatever you want.”

After the waiter led the duo upstairs, he asked, “What would you like to order?”

“I’ll have one of all the expensive dishes,” Jiang Feng said as he looked at Shen Wen and grinned. He thought to himself, ‘Since you want to treat me, I’ll just order this much.’

Shen Wen was slightly taken aback. Then, he gritted his teeth. The restaurant was an expensive one. Based on Jiang Feng’s orders, he would definitely have to spend a lot of money today.

‘He’s really not polite! I definitely have to get more money from him. Otherwise, I’d be letting myself down!’

Jiang Feng pretended to be concerned and asked, “Did you bring enough money?”

Shen Wen laughed. “I brought enough. However, can you eat so much food? Anyway, it’s fine. We’re brothers! We should eat something good when we meet again after so long.”

“Of course. See how much I understand you, Brother,” Jiang Feng said, playing along. At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘Since you insist on pretending, I’ll pretend as well.’

After the waiter left, Shen Wen decided to get down to business. He asked, “Jiang Feng, how are you doing? Are youbetter now?”

Jiang Feng understood Shen Wen’s intention. He changed the topic and asked slowly, “Brother, are you going to keep the promise you made to me on the phone?”

“Promise?” Shen Wen looked at Jiang Feng in confusion. Did he promise something on the phone? He did not remember anything. He wondered if Jiang Feng discovered something.
