Chapter 540: Chapter 541: Chen Xueqi Gets Deflated
Regarding the redevelopment of the Urban Village, Jiang City had seen quite a few farcical incidents in the past. Many real estate groups ended up losing face because of this, and Sun Mei understood that it would cost a lot of money, but she couldn’t comprehend the value and significance behind it.
"Even if Su Changfeng manages to acquire everything, so what?" Sun Mei asked, puzzled.
"Chang Feng hasn’t told me the specific reason, but I suspect that he’s not just planning to disrupt Ye Group’s plans; he also aims to enhance his group’s reputation. The brand of a group is especially important. If Weishui Real Estate can seize this opportunity to boost its brand for a few days, it might get others to stand by its side," Tang Qiulu said.
"Currently, the Gu Family has already withdrawn from the market. Can relying solely on this Urban Village matter really thwart Ye Group’s plans?" Sun Mei said.
This was precisely what Tang Qiulu was worried about. No one expected the Gu Family to suddenly announce their withdrawal from the Jiang City market. Even if they can’t acquire the Urban Village, Ye Group can still engulf other industries. From this perspective, the future influence of Weishui Real Estate will only be gradually overshadowed by Ye Group.
"I’m not sure either; Chang Feng must have his own plans," Tang Qiulu said.
Sun Mei saw Tang Qiulu’s puzzled expression, guessing that Su Changfeng had probably told her everything he had to say, and decided not to probe further.
"Don’t worry; he will definitely solve this problem." Sun Mei’s expression was distinctly cold, with a hint of indifference.
However, Tang Qiulu didn’t notice the change in Sun Mei’s expression and was especially concerned about Su Changfeng.
Once Sun Mei went upstairs and entered her bedroom, her expression turned exceedingly cold. Now that she finally understood Su Changfeng’s affairs, she would have the qualifications to collaborate with Ye Qingcheng.
"Su Changfeng, let’s see how you deal with this now; you lack the credentials to contend with me, Sun Mei," Sun Mei murmured.
After leaving the Gu Family, Su Changfeng drove to the Urban Village to ask Ma Qiang about recent developments. Upon learning that progress was very smooth, Su Changfeng returned to his residence.
Just as he was about to open the door and go inside, Wang Feifei opened the door as if deliberately waiting for him.
Seeing Wang Feifei’s mischievous appearance, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but smile. Wang Feifei was like a sister to him because of her rare innocence in today’s society, making Su Changfeng naturally want to protect her.
Of course, this desire didn’t carry the romantic feelings associated with men and women; his feelings for Tang Qiulu had never wavered.
"Did something happen?" Su Changfeng asked, puzzled.
"Old Ye, did you find a new tenant? That person’s really big, looks so fierce," Wang Feifei wrinkled her nose and said.
It seemed like Wang Feifei had met Wang Tianhu. His head was indeed larger than average, combined with an expressionless face that made him appear somewhat sinister.
"Even though he looks rather ferocious, he’s a good person, and like you, he’s especially innocent," Su Changfeng said.
In terms of understanding today’s societal context, Wang Tianhu was even more innocent than Wang Feifei, because he was like blank paper, ready to take on any color.
"Well, I’m not pure. Sister Fei says I’m strange." Wang Feifei expressed her displeasure, seemingly not happy with the simplicity implied.
"By the way, are you both supposed to be working now?" Su Changfeng asked.
Wang Feifei nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, when I reported to the group today, my boss—no, no, Brother Cheng is the leader, not the group boss—our leader praised me. How did I do, huh? Am I great or what?"
Watching Wang Feifei’s cheerful smile, Su Changfeng also smiled and gave her a thumbs-up, saying, "Great, excellent!"
Just then, the door that was half-open suddenly flung wide by someone, leaving Wang Feifei startled.
When Chen Xueqi saw Su Changfeng, her face instantly revealed disgust and rejection, saying to Wang Feifei, "Wang Feifei, I told you not to associate with people like him. You’ll end up counting money for people who sell you out."
Wang Feifei hadn’t expected that sneaking out for a quick chat with Su Changfeng would be discovered by Chen Xueqi, and she faced Su Changfeng with an embarrassed look.
"Some men are skilled at courting girls, intentionally acting aloof to attract attention. Be cautious; these men are the kind who eat people without spitting out bones," Chen Xueqi insinuated.
"If you’re telling me I’m acting aloof here to get your attention, then we need to have a chat. I’m not planning to get your attention because frankly, you’re not worth my concern," Su Changfeng said indifferently, nodded to Wang Feifei, and entered through the open door.
Chen Xueqi stomped her foot angrily, slamming the door with a bang, clearly venting her internal displeasure.
Wang Feifei shook as she returned to her room. With Chen Xueqi in a bad mood, it was better to keep her distance.
Closing the door, Wang Feifei sighed in relief, knowing that Chen Xueqi particularly disliked Su Changfeng. However, she had considerably more goodwill towards him than before.
In the past, men hovered around Chen Xueqi like flies, tending to her needs as if they were servants. But Su Changfeng was different from other men, and this distinction undoubtedly increased Wang Feifei’s favor towards him.
In the living room, Chen Xueqi breathed heavily with rage, her face contorted with anger. She was used to being pursued by those unpleasant men, but not having Su Changfeng care about her, and saying so to her face, felt humiliating.
"Don’t get angry, don’t get angry," Chen Xueqi calmed her breath, muttering to herself: "He’s such a loser, it’s not worth stooping to his level. Your ideal man is the chairman of Weishui Real Estate. Chen Xueqi, don’t get angry over someone like him."
Once Su Changfeng entered his home, he heard snoring from the guest room; Wang Tianhu seemed to be asleep, so he decided not to disturb him.
Back in his room, he retrieved a wedding photo with Tang Qiulu from under his pillow. Whenever he missed Tang Qiulu, he’d take out the photo to glance at it, seeing Tang Qiulu on it made the world seem vivid and lively.
The next morning, Su Changfeng went for a run, accompanied by Wang Tianhu. Knowing Su Changfeng’s regular morning exercise time, Chen Xueqi deliberately went later to avoid meeting him.
