Chapter 178: Chapter 125: Six Blind Dates Are Waiting for Me_2

The second floor in the front was Chen Feng’s room, and his parents’ room was in the back. The third floor in the front was now occupied by his brother and sister-in-law, and Little Yu and Little Xue would sometimes sleep with their grandparents, and sometimes with their parents.

Chen Feng’s room on the second floor had gotten a bit old, and it didn’t have a private bathroom. Although it was still livable, it obviously wasn’t as comfortable as the newly built, independent room.

If Chen Feng brought a girl back to stay, it would be convenient to have his own private space.

Moreover, when Little Yu and Little Xue grew up, the rooms in the house would be perfectly allocated; otherwise, there would be no room for Chen Feng when he came back.

The old man and lady had planned ahead well.

Chen Feng was very satisfied with the additional independent room. He first went in to take a nice hot shower, then lay back comfortably on the brand-new large bed.

The bed was two meters two, quite big. The mattress was made of latex, very soft, and comfortable to lie on. His mother had been unusually generous, spending over five thousand on this bed.

He picked up his phone, and there were several unread WeChat messages.

Opening them up, there were ones from Sun Xiaorui, Wu Mengting, and also from that girl, Qin Xiaorou.

Qin Xiaorou would send him WeChat messages from time to time, but he rarely responded to her.

He checked Sun Xiaorui’s message first.

[What do your family think of me?]

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then replied: [Not bad.]

Sun Xiaorui replied almost immediately with a smiley face.

Then she sent another message: [How about after the New Year’s, on the fifth day, I come to stay at your place for a few days, and then go back to Xiu Zhou with you?]

Chen Feng immediately declined: [No need.]

Although he liked her, Chen Feng really didn’t want to make her his girlfriend.

Such a straightforward rejection immediately depressed Sun Xiaorui, who had been full of expectation.

Seeing that she didn’t send any more messages, Chen Feng went to check Wu Mengting’s WeChat.

[I’m coming to your place tomorrow to play, got time?]

Chen Feng thought about it, and rejected unapologetically: [No time.]

Wu Mengting immediately sent an angry face emoticon, and Chen Feng sent one showing his teeth.

[Brother, I know you have time. Can you just hang out with me at your place for a few days? If not, I can also take you to the city for a few days.]

[Forget it, I really don’t have time. I’ve got six blind dates waiting for me.]

[Seriously? You’re not just using Sun as a shield, are you?]

[Haven’t needed to for now. Anyway, it’s just blind dates. It’s not bad to meet someone. Maybe I’ll find someone I like.]

[You really disappoint me...]

[It’s good to be disappointed,] Chen Feng sent another teeth-showing emoticon.

[You already have Sun, and you said you don’t want to be in a relationship or anything. So why the blind dates?]

[Got nothing better to do at home, and since I might have to stay around home for about a month, I have my needs too. Temporarily finding a partner isn’t bad.]

[Gross, do you men all think with your lower halves? Be careful you get tangled up by someone and can’t shake them off. You’ll regret it then.]

Wu Mengting seemed very resentful. Chen Feng just smiled and sent her a smiling emoticon.

Their conversation petered out that day.

That was the outcome Chen Feng wanted. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately lied to her.

With no reply from Sun Xiaorui either, Chen Feng casually clicked on Qin Xiaorou’s message.

[Uncle, after the New Year, I’m going overseas. Can we meet up to say goodbye?]

Seeing her message, Chen Feng felt it wouldn’t be good not to reply. After thinking for a moment, he typed: [I’ve gone back to my hometown. When are you leaving roughly?]

To his surprise, Qin Xiaorou replied immediately: [I’m leaving after the Lantern Festival. You should be able to return to Xiu Zhou by then, right?]

[No problem. When I get back to Xiu Zhou, I’ll arrange to meet you.]

[Let’s agree on that.]

[Let’s agree on that.]

Although Chen Feng didn’t pay much attention to this young lady and didn’t have a very good impression of her, they did know each other after all. Since she was going abroad, it seemed only right for them to meet and say goodbye.

After chatting with them, Chen Feng picked up the TV remote and turned on the TV. Coincidentally, as soon as he turned it on, he saw Zhang Jingwen’s face.

The TV was airing "Immortal Destiny." The drama’s online rating wasn’t very high, but it was unquestionably a popular series at the moment. After various satellite channels took turns broadcasting it, even the reruns had very good viewership ratings.

Because of this, Zhang Jingwen, the "newcomer," shot to fame overnight and became one of the few current popular female stars.

Chen Feng watched for a few minutes and, to be honest, her acting was quite good compared to other popular stars.

Plus, she really looked good in costume!

The character design and the plot were reasonably smart, and the costumes and props were exquisite. No wonder the show had good viewership ratings.

Chen Feng couldn’t help but think about that somewhat hazy night. It was a pity that he was half-drunk at the time, and the bedside lamp wasn’t very bright. It all felt like a spring dream, without a trace.

Very unreal.

After watching for a while, Chen Feng decisively changed the channel.

At that moment, a text message notification sounded. He picked up his phone and saw it was from Qin Zhen.

[Have you picked the stocks yet? The old squad leader is breathing down my neck every day, it’s really getting on my nerves.]

Chen Feng suddenly remembered that he needed to pick stocks.

Ever since he sold all his current stocks last time, he hadn’t looked at them again.

After all, he had promised them that he definitely would pick, so pick he must.

So, Chen Feng called Qin Zhen.

"Hey! Have you still not made your choices after two days?"

Qin Zhen, irritated, directly lashed out. He had been shadowed by Chen Hanliang for two days, waiting at the police station during the day, being invited to dinner after work, and bombarded with phone calls and messages at night, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Chen Feng wasn’t used to spoiling him and retorted sharply, "Do you think picking stocks is that simple? How about I randomly pick two for you? Do you dare to buy them?"

Qin Zhen’s momentum weakened, and he lowered his voice, "It’s the old squad leader pressuring me, he’s at my police station every day, making my colleagues think I owe him money."

"Alright. I’m almost done picking; I’ll text you in a bit. How much are you planning to invest this time?"

"Capital and profits together, 500,000. If I can make two or three times the return this time, I’ll acknowledge you as my big brother. I’ll be grateful to you and your ancestors for eight generations."

"Cut it out. I’m already your big brother, alright? I’m older than you."

"Come on, just because you’re a bit older, you’re my big brother?"

"Isn’t it so? Call me brother now, or forget about the stock business..."

"Brother, my dear big brother!"

"...Ugh, damn, Qin, you really can do it. Even as a public servant, where is your shining image?"

"You are my brother. Calling you brother doesn’t cost me a piece of flesh!"

"Fine, I give up."

"Then hurry up and finish, text me, so I can forward it to the old squad leader."

"Alright, roughly fifteen minutes. Wait for my message."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Chen Feng took out his laptop, started it, opened the stock trading software, and began to pick stocks by luck again.

This time he picked a pharmaceutical stock called Huiji Eye Medicine, with a current stock price of 15.

Without a word, Chen Feng directly bought ten thousand lots, one hundred thousand shares, spending fifteen million.

After he had finished, ten minutes had not even passed, so Chen Feng also did a quick search for information on this stock, which seemed scarce.

The performance report they posted showed that they made a profit of more than ten million last year, but this year they suffered losses in the first two quarters and only started making a profit in the third quarter. The fourth quarter’s report had not yet come out.

It seemed there was no particularly good news, but Chen Feng trusted his luck.

Therefore, he directly texted the stock to Qin Zhen.

A few minutes later, Qin Zhen called, sounding a bit worried, "Are you sure this stock of yours is reliable? I don’t mind if I lose, but if the old squad leader loses, he could be ruined."

"Reliable or not, it’s up to you guys to decide. Didn’t your old squad leader already prepare a guarantee letter and give it to you? If he loses, that’s his bad luck, and it’s nothing to do with us."

"Sigh, okay. I hope you can work a miracle again."

After hanging up, Qin Zhen hesitated for a long time before finally texting the old squad leader, recommending Huiji Eye Medicine to him.

Then Chen Hanliang called, sounding tense and excited, "Is it Huiji Eye Medicine, this stock?"

"Exactly. I just checked, and its performance the past two years has been pretty average. It made a profit of over ten million last year but had losses in the first two quarters this year and only started making a profit in the third. No particularly good news for now. Old squad leader, you have to think carefully. Chen Feng and I can’t guarantee that it will rise after you buy."

"Of course. I know that. Even if I lose on my purchase, I definitely won’t blame you guys. But I trust Chen Feng. This time I’m sure I’ll turn things around. Qin Zhen, thank you. I’m going to bet now; we’ll wait for the good news together."

After saying that, Chen Hanliang couldn’t wait to hang up, and seeing this, Qin Zhen could only sigh helplessly.
