"Damn it! Du Fei, you're all about the ladies and no longer about bros! I thought of you as a good brother, but you've been holding out on me. The beauty formula you saved for your girlfriend must be way better than mine. This is going to be the end of Tian Kun Group."
As soon as Du Fei finished speaking, Gong Chengbin exclaimed dramatically.
Those sitting nearby turned their attention to the two of them. Du Fei shot him an annoyed glance.
"Can you stop shouting? Didn't I just say that the beauty formula for Shishi can't be mass-produced? And her company's direction is completely different from Tian Kun Group's?"
Du Fei was truly exasperated by Gong Chengbin's behavior.
Gong Chengbin heard him and rubbed his nose, chuckling sheepishly.
He had gotten too excited just now. Thinking about it carefully, Du Fei had indeed mentioned that the formula for Liu Shishi was different from his own.
Next, Gong Chengbin deliberately changed the subject, talking about finding someone for Du Fei.
As for Du Fei, he knew that was just Gong Chengbin's personality and he didn't hold it against him. Since Gong Chengbin had gracefully backed down, he wouldn't pursue it further.
In front of Du Fei, Gong Chengbin called Dr. Lu from Tian Kun Group.
After all, Dr. Lu was a top expert in research and development.
"Looks like there's good news?"
Du Fei asked, seeing Gong Chengbin hanging up the phone with a beaming smile.
Gong Chengbin smiled proudly, lifting his chin. "Of course! When I, Gong Chengbin, take action, success is guaranteed. Our company's Dr. Lu said he has a junior fellow disciple who just returned to the country. He'll arrange a meeting, but whether he can be recruited is up to you."
Du Fei nodded.
He had only approached Gong Chengbin for help with a hopeful mindset, never expecting him to actually find someone.
Whether this person could be recruited to Liu Shishi's company was no longer Gong Chengbin's concern.
"Yo, isn't that A Bin? Long time no see."
Hearing someone call him, Gong Chengbin instinctively looked up.
However, when he clearly saw who it was, Gong Chengbin couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, the person who had just called Gong Chengbin's name walked up to him.
It turned out to be Peng Ying and a few of his friends.
Peng Ying originally had no dealings with Gong Chengbin, but since both their fathers were among the top ten richest men in Rongcheng, they had met before.
However, because Gong Chengbin was not favored in the Gong family, Peng Ying had always looked down on him.
Later, after being embarrassed by Gong Chengbin and Du Fei over a horse riding incident, Peng Ying had developed a deep hatred for Gong Chengbin.
When someone he had humiliated deliberately approached him, Gong Chengbin knew the intentions were not friendly, unless he was a fool.
"What's wrong, Young Master Bin? You look a bit unhappy."
At this moment, Wang Xiang, a sycophant standing beside Peng Ying, spoke up, feigning concern.
Before Gong Chengbin could reply, Peng Ying immediately slapped Wang Xiang on the head and cursed, "Are you trying to be intentionally obtuse? A Bin's father and his elder brother nearly came to blows in the board meeting. Wan He Group's stock is about to hit the floor. Do you think A Bin can be happy?"
After being slapped, Wang Xiang seemed to realize his mistake and repeatedly apologized to Gong Chengbin.
"I'm sorry, A Bin. This guy Wang Xiang is known for being brainless. I hope you won't hold it against him."
Peng Ying clearly intended to expose Gong Chengbin's family disgrace in front of everyone, yet he put on a hypocritical act, which was utterly disgusting.
"Peng Ying, if you want to see me embarrassed, just say so. Don't resort to such childish tricks, don't you find it boring?"
Peng Ying expected Gong Chengbin to be so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head after his stunt. To his surprise, Gong Chengbin seemed unfazed.
Being so directly called out by Gong Chengbin made Peng Ying feel a little awkward.
Just then, Peng Ying noticed Du Fei sitting opposite Gong Chengbin.
Logically, Du Fei wasn't a top-tier second-generation rich kid and wouldn't warrant Peng Ying's attention.
However, the previous horse riding incident had made Peng Ying feel greatly humiliated.
So, seeing Du Fei again, he immediately recalled the past.
"Oh, aren't you the guy who used to follow A Bin? Why are you still with him? If you want to make something of yourself, I happen to need an assistant. Why don't you come work for me?"
Peng Ying assumed Du Fei was like Wang Xiang, trying to curry favor with Gong Chengbin to get ahead.
Having failed to humiliate Gong Chengbin, Peng Ying now openly tried to poach his associate.
"Peng Ying! Watch your tone!"
Gong Chengbin didn't mind Peng Ying's insults towards him, but when Peng Ying targeted Du Fei, Gong Chengbin couldn't stand by any longer.
However, Du Fei stopped the about-to-rise Gong Chengbin and looked Peng Ying up and down.
"Brother, follow Young Master Peng, and I guarantee you'll have a life of luxury. Our Young Master Peng is..."
Seeing this, Wang Xiang immediately started bragging about Peng Ying.
But before he could finish, Du Fei, who had been looking at Peng Ying, interrupted him. "Young Master Peng, have you been feeling frequent fatigue in your lower back and knees, weakness in your legs, and occasional dizziness and tinnitus lately?"
"How did you know?"
Peng Ying blurted out instinctively.
He had indeed been experiencing the symptoms Du Fei described, but how did Du Fei know?
"Since that's the case, I advise Young Master Peng to worry less about other people's business and more about replenishing his health at home, because the symptoms I just mentioned are caused by insufficient vital energy and kidney deficiency."
Du Fei said with a smile.
Gong Chengbin, who was familiar with Du Fei, vaguely understood what Du Fei was implying.
But he deliberately pretended not to understand and asked, "Du Fei, what is insufficient vital energy and kidney deficiency?"
Peng Ying leaned closer, wanting to know more, as it concerned his health.
"Well, to put it plainly, it's impotence."
"Impotence? Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Peng... Ah, Young Master Peng, don't leave! My friend here is a very skilled doctor. Let him examine you."
As soon as Du Fei spoke, Peng Ying felt his face burning.
He had listened so intently, only to be tricked.
Having his problem revealed in front of so many people in the tea room, even Peng Ying felt like burrowing a hole to hide in.
The next moment, before Gong Chengbin could even speak, he turned and fled.
But Gong Chengbin's loud calls from behind almost made Peng Ying want to rush back and kill him.
Soon, Peng Ying and his group had left the tea room at full speed.
Seeing them leave, Gong Chengbin burst into laughter.
Then, when he looked at Du Fei, he read approval in his eyes.
After all, if Gong Chengbin hadn't played along so smoothly, the effect wouldn't have been so good.
With Peng Ying's disturbance gone, Du Fei and Gong Chengbin enjoyed their tea and engaged in pleasant conversation.
