"Cut it out, do you really need to say that?" When the second guy heard the chubby one's voice, he couldn't help but retort. However, this time, he actually had the upper hand since Lin Feng had already been chatting with them in the dormitory for half a day, while the chubby one had just come to deliver the news, which was indeed a bit late.
"Damn it, Madman, you were in the dormitory all along!" The chubby one quickened his pace upon hearing the second guy's words. He opened the dormitory door and exclaimed when he saw Lin Feng.
"Hehe... Just arrived, sorry to make my brothers worry." Seeing the chubby one's excitement upon knowing he was safe warmed Lin Feng's heart, and he inadvertently said something a bit sarcastic.
"Come on, can you not be so sarcastic? Little Madman?" The chubby one was genuinely happy to see Lin Feng in the dormitory, but unfortunately, his words always came out twisted.
Of course, those who were familiar with him found his way of speaking more endearing; for instance, Lin Feng felt quite close to him at that moment.
"By the way, Little Madman, your brother has been worried about you lately and hasn't been eating or sleeping well. Are you going to treat us for lunch?" The chubby one started rambling excitedly, looking like he wanted to feast as he spoke to Lin Feng.
"Hehe... Let's go to Renhe Grand Hotel for lunch; everyone can eat and drink well." Lin Feng thought he shouldn't keep it a secret anymore. Since he had money now, he wanted his friends and brothers to benefit a bit from it, so he boldly suggested it.
However, even though Lin Feng didn't plan to keep things too tight-lipped, he also didn't intend to let them know right away that he was a billionaire. After all, everyone has their limits when it comes to handling such news, and Lin Feng didn't think this group of good brothers could handle it any better than average people.
So Lin Feng only mentioned Renhe Grand Hotel without saying anything about a five-star hotel. Renhe Grand Hotel was still within the consumption capacity of students and was considered a relatively upscale place; a meal there would cost over a thousand yuan at most.
"Really?" The chubby one knew about Lin Feng's family situation. Seeing that Lin Feng casually mentioned going to a hotel for lunch just because he provoked him wasn't what he wanted. Although the chubby one really liked the food at Renhe Grand Hotel.
This chubby guy was quite active in school as well. He would attend gatherings organized by the Student Council or various associations. The benefit of these gatherings was that you could enjoy delicious food by just contributing a small amount of money. So he had been fortunate enough to eat at Renhe Grand Hotel several times. He loved food and became enamored with it after trying it a few times. However, going there on his own was somewhat unrealistic. He always said that once he made big money in the future, he would definitely take Lin Feng to Renhe Grand Hotel for a taste.
And today, Lin Feng planned to let the chubby one enjoy himself first.
"Hehe... Do you think my eyes look like I'm lying to you?" Lin Feng smiled; not to mention having a meal at Renhe Grand Hotel now, even if it were at a five-star hotel, he wouldn't bat an eye.
"Madman, I was just joking earlier; we can just find a big stall and hang out together; no need to spend so much! In my opinion, there's not much difference between the food at fancy restaurants and street stalls; it's just that the service is better." The chubby one thought Lin Feng was being pretentious again and continued speaking.
"Yeah, Lin Feng, we're just students. There's no need to go to places like that. When we make a lot of money in the future, if you want to treat the brothers, I'll be there anytime. For now, let's just follow what Fatty said and grab a meal at a food stall. After all, it's just us brothers eating together; there's no need to waste money." The leader was also a practical and steady person and spoke up.
The second brother didn't say anything, but from the way he nodded vigorously, it was clear he felt the same way.
Lin Feng was almost amused by them. He could definitely afford the Renhe Grand Hotel, but he still said, "Haha... I appreciate my brothers' intentions, but I'm really not trying to put on a show. Let's go together for lunch; you'll see then." Lin Feng deliberately kept them in suspense.
Seeing that Lin Feng was serious and confident in his tone, everyone stopped discussing it further. However, they all made up their minds to bring some money for lunch; they couldn't let Lin Feng pay for everything alone.
This is probably what brotherhood is about.
"By the way, Fatty, earlier I was talking with the second brother and the leader about starting a business. We were thinking of opening a digital market. What do you think?" Lin Feng shifted the topic now that they weren't discussing lunch anymore.
"Oh, I talked about this with the leader and the second brother too. I..." Fatty began to respond to Lin Feng's topic but was interrupted when Lin Feng's phone rang.
"Fatty, my thoughts are similar to those of the leader and the second brother. You can discuss it with them first; I need to take this call." Lin Feng took out his phone and saw who was calling before addressing Fatty.
After saying that, Lin Feng stepped out of the dormitory because he preferred not to let Fatty and the others overhear this call.
"Hello..." Once outside, Lin Feng pressed the answer button and said lazily.
"You're definitely not an ordinary person. You even called my brother and still sound so relaxed," came Song Qi's voice on the other end. She noticed Lin Feng's casual tone and teased him.
"Haha... If you're calling just to tease me, I'm sorry, but I'm busy; there are plenty of beautiful women waiting for me to pursue them," Lin Feng said nonchalantly, having guessed what Song Qi wanted to talk about.
In City B, a mid-level city, there really wasn't another man who could speak like this to Song Qi besides Lin Feng. Not to mention those who admired her or considered her their dream girl; even Liu Jie, who had no intentions of pursuing her, would be polite when encountering her.
"Oh? Do you think I'm not beautiful?" Song Qi's tone changed in an instant upon hearing Lin Feng's words; it became somewhat flirtatious and casual.
She was not the kind of woman who acted so casually, but for Lin Feng, he could be considered her only ally at the moment. She felt it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with him, and now, she was making some ambiguous jokes with Lin Feng for this purpose.
Of course, Song Qi said this, but if you developed improper thoughts about her because of her words, then sorry, she would let you know what it meant for a rose to have thorns.
Lin Feng was very clear about this. In fact, it was not the first time Song Qi had deliberately made such jokes with him. The last time she had taken her clothes into the bathroom to shower right under Lin Feng's nose was similar to the current flirtatious tone.
So, at this moment, Lin Feng replied, "Everyone has a desire for beauty, but I know that roses always have thorns."
"Is that so? Are you so sure that I haven't developed feelings for you, or that you haven't developed feelings for me?" Song Qi continued joking. As for the question she posed, perhaps even she herself couldn't provide a hundred percent answer.
Lin Feng was not an ordinary person; Song Qi was very aware of this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken an interest in him from the beginning and actively contacted him. Especially this time, Lin Feng had miraculously returned alive to City B and directly beat up her useless brother. This further convinced Song Qi that Lin Feng was not an ordinary person; at least she knew that defeating Lin Feng would not be an easy task.
However, Song Qi was also not an ordinary person. In her heart, in order to avenge herself and achieve her goal of controlling Song Gang, she could go to any lengths. In fact, she was willing to exchange herself for someone else's help.
Song Qi felt there was nothing wrong with this because the man she liked was not a gigolo but a hero. In her view, anyone who could help her destroy or control the Song Family was indeed a hero.
Therefore, rather than saying that Song Qi would stop at nothing for rewards or even sacrifice herself, it would be more accurate to say that she used toppling the Song Family as a standard for choosing her life partner; this was not contradictory.
Of course, although this is how she felt, Song Qi was also an ambitious woman. Unless absolutely necessary, she would not belong to any man; she preferred the feeling of being in control of everything.
For now, Lin Feng temporarily became her ally in toppling the Song Family. For this only ally, Song Qi did not mind giving him a sense of ambiguity.
"Hehe... maybe I will like you someday, but not now. So tell me, are you planning to throw a banquet to welcome me back after my miraculous survival?" Lin Feng naturally would not fall for Song Qi's flirtation. Deep down, he might have thoughts of conquest regarding women like her, but it definitely wasn't love—at least not now.
"Yes, but I wonder if you would honor me?" Lin Feng's suggestion met with no objections from Song Qi; after all, she wanted to meet him anyway.
"Well, I suppose you're quite sincere. So tell me the time and place," Lin Feng asked directly without any need for politeness between him and Song Qi.
"How about noon? The location is my house, the place you visited last time," Song Qi said directly to Lin Feng, clearly well-prepared.
"Hehe... I have a date at noon, sorry, it can only be in the evening," Lin Feng replied. The more anxious Song Qi became, the calmer Lin Feng remained. Although he needed Song Qi's help, he knew that she needed his assistance even more. Therefore, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't cancel his gathering with his friends for her.
"Oh, really? Can't you reschedule for me?" Song Qi's tone shifted to that of a little girl sounding pitiful, almost pouting as she spoke.
"What do you think?" Lin Feng didn't answer directly, but he knew that Song Qi understood his meaning.
"Fine, you stubborn wood. Remember to come tonight; I'll be waiting for you," Song Qi said, realizing that Lin Feng wasn't going to budge and had to settle for the evening.
"Okay, see you tonight," Lin Feng replied. There was nothing more to say; what needed to be discussed couldn't be done over the phone. They would talk in person later.
After hanging up, Lin Feng continued into the dormitory where his three friends were waiting to discuss their entrepreneurial plans.
Lin Feng naturally supported their idea of starting a business since he had funds available and they weren't planning anything too big. He had no objections.
What Lin Feng was considering was whether to expand the scale of their business and have Dong Jie come over to help manage it. This way, they could sell daily necessities as well as digital products in City. It would also provide Dong Jie with a job, and as for everything else, he would leave it up to his three roommates' opinions.
"Madman is back; let him share his thoughts," Lin Feng heard as he entered the room. He saw Fatty arguing with Er Ge about something, and upon noticing Lin Feng's arrival, Fatty turned to Er Ge and said.
