Chapter 20
It Is Not Feasible To Play Tricks To Make Money
“Xiao Ya, Luo Feng’s here again! But something’s not right with him, hurry up and go take a look at the door.” Xiao Fei once again rushed in to inform Ai Tingya and dug her out of the library.
Ai Tingya was confused. “What’s wrong? What happened to him?”
Xiao Fei replied as she ran along. “He’s become stupid!”
Ai Tingya tilted her head. The more she listened, the more confused she became. Luo Feng was fine in the morning, so how did he become stupid in the afternoon?
The two of them panted as they ran to the entrance of the orphanage. They saw a group of big brothers wearing safety helmets. The leader was a stocky man who looked troubled as he spoke to Luo Feng.
Ai Tingya leaned closer to listen.
“Little brother, I’ll give you a friendly price since you’re so caring. Usually, a basketball court costs 44,000 yuan. I’ll charge you 38,000 yuan today. The number is also auspicious. What do you think?”
“It’s been hard on everyone to make a trip during the new year. I think the price can be…”
“Lower?”
“Higher!”
Luo Feng’s voice was loud and clear. Ai Tingya and the boss opened their mouths wide in disbelief.
“Uh…” The boss said unconfidently, “How much higher?”
“It’s not easy for everyone to earn money. I see so many workers. How about 66,000 yuan? Buy some new clothes and new year goods for their wives and children. Everyone will be happy!”
The moment the boss heard the price, his eyes curved into crescents. He smiled and said politely, “This… This isn’t good…”
This was the first time he had seen someone bargain in the opposite direction throughout his career as a cement duster to having his own engineering team. The boss tried his best to restrain his expression, trying to look more reserved, but the muscles on his face could not help but rise.
Luo Feng hoped that he would take more money and immediately gave him a solution. “If you feel uneasy, you can help us cover the maintenance for two years and give us a few basketballs. How about that?”
The extra money was enough to repair a smaller sized version, let alone two years of maintenance.
“Deal!” The boss held Luo Feng’s hand as if he was holding a new year ball.
This magical bargaining method also shocked Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei clenched her fingers as if she was praying and said in admiration. “Xiao Ya, Luo Feng is like the domineering CEO in the novels. His family must be very rich!”
Ai Tingya doubted herself. “As far as I know, his parents are just ordinary working class.”
“That’s the son of a tycoon who wandered into the common folks! He’s been found recently!” Xiao Fei felt that Luo Feng’s situation was very compatible with the male protagonist of the novel, and he was quite good looking.
“I’ll ask him!”
Ai Tingya rushed over to Luo Feng’s side, “You…”
“Hey!” Luo Feng’s index finger pressed against Ai Tingya’s lips, “It’s a sponsorship from Uncle Fatty.”
Yang Tianzhen was a brick. He could be moved wherever he needed him to be.
“Really?” Ai Tingya was suspicious. “How could he be so kind?”
Luo Feng shrugged: “I don’t know, maybe he wants to do more good deeds, donating it to the orphanage is better than throwing it into the merit box.”
Ai Tingya saw his cheeky expression and didn’t quite believe what Luo Feng said. If it was really Yang Tianzhen who gave it to him, he would definitely take this opportunity to package his artists better.
At this moment, a wail from the backyard interrupted Ai Tingya’s train of thought.
“My green onions!” Dean Du ran from the backyard to the front yard.
A basketball exercise court in the backyard meant that they would definitely have to occupy a portion of the vegetable field. It was a pity that the green onions that Dean Du had meticulously prepared were so tall that they eventually mixed in with the weeds.
Ai Tingya pulled her back and told her the whole story.
Even though Dean Du was happy, her benevolent smile was replaced by a rare serious expression: “Luo Feng, thank you. However, I hope you can tell Mr. Yang that there are other people who need help, our orphanage can rely on ourselves.”
“Why?” Luo Feng was stunned.
“My children might have to suffer more than other children, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I believe that they will be more tenacious in the future and cultivate a never give up attitude after they experience all this.” Dean Du said seriously.
Luo Feng understood. No wonder Ai Tingya was so sensible. It was definitely with Dean Du’s teachings.
He nodded in understanding and smiled. “I understand. I’ll let him know.”
The basketball court was in full swing. Luo Feng would go to the orphanage under the guise of checking out its progress everyday. He would think of ways to ask Ai Tingya out to visit the beauty salons and clothing stores one by one.
This was because he had previously discovered that the return on the construction of the basketball court was only 380,000 yuan, which was only double the price quoted by the boss of the engineering team. It seemed that not every inflated price would succeed in giving him 10 times the interest.
Since then, he could only take Ai Tingya out to spend more money and use the number of times to make up for the low price.
Yang Tianzhen called Luo Feng during this period.
Luo Feng clearly remembered that he didn’t give him his contact number, so he didn’t know how Yang Tianzhen obtained his number.
Yang Tianzhen called and said that he had found two girls with the name “Bingbing” in the Film Academy. One of them was surnamed Li, and the other had the surname Fan.
He could only work with one person with his energy, but he wanted to ask Luo Feng which one he should work with seeing that both girls have great prospects.
Luo Feng didn’t give a clear answer, only praising Yang Tianzhen’s foresight.
Yang Tianzhen was really good, being able to zero in on these two targets with his ambiguous hint. It was like finding a needle in a haystack.
In the end, Yang Tianzhen hesitated for a moment and decided on the girl with the surname Fan. Luo Feng didn’t comment on it and started to flatter her.
Unknowingly, a month of winter vacation passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya welcomed the last and most important semester of high school…
…
On the day of registration, in Class One of the Third Years.
Xing Miaomiao held a comb and tidied her newly cut bangs. She was intoxicated by her own beauty in the mirror. A few classmates who passed by the door whistled at her and then laughed.
“Boring boys.” Xing Miaomiao put down the comb as if she was used to it. She was secretly happy.
“Miaomiao, your new hairstyle is so beautiful!” Her best friend in the front row turned around and praised her jealously. She would have wanted to cut thick bangs too if it weren’t for the fact that she had so little hair.
“This is the most popular hairstyle nowadays. It requires a lot of care!” Xing Miaomiao raised the comb again.
Her best friend was really envious of her exquisiteness: “Luo Feng must be filled with regret when he sees how beautiful you are.”
Smack!
Xing Miaomiao slammed the comb on the table in dissatisfaction. “Why did you mention him for no reason?”
She got angry when she heard Luo Feng’s name. In the past, he clearly wanted to be a bee that surrounded the flowers, but he started to turn a blind eye to her and hooked up with Ai Tingya instead since last semester!
Every man is a scumbag, and Luo Feng is the one with the most unique taste!
The more Xing Miaomiao thought about it, the angrier she got. She swore with three fingers, “I was blind to have misjudged him. From now on, I’m going to seal my heart and study hard! Let that b*stard Luo Feng go to hell!”
