Chapter 190: Chapter 131 Settled_2

Jiang Chao finally understood and said with surprise, "You mean this shop is related to your Mr. Feng?"

Director Zhang hurriedly shook his head, "I didn’t say that. As for what you think, I have no idea."

It was clear from his words, and although Jiang Chao kept his composure on the surface, he was shocked internally.

He owned a packaging factory and a furniture factory. Both types of factories, especially the furniture factory, could easily be caught for environmental protection issues; it was a sure thing if they were inspected.

Hence, he spent a significant amount of money on public relations for environmental protection issues, and fortunately, over the years, he had developed a good relationship with Director Zhang. As long as his factories didn’t overdo it, they could easily pass inspections.

But clearly, Director Zhang couldn’t compare with Mr. Feng. If Chen Feng had a connection with Mr. Feng, and if he wanted to target him, it would be too easy.

No factory owner doing business could guarantee that they were 100% compliant with the law and regulations, especially when it came to environmental issues.

Not to mention, Jiang Chao had a past that wasn’t clean.

"Jiang, we’ve known each other for many years. Let me give you a piece of advice, don’t mess with that shop, and especially don’t mess with that Chen Feng. After all, you’re in business to make money. It’s all about harmony and prosperity. If you make enemies, it’s going to be tough to do business."

Director Zhang hesitated for a moment, but thinking of his relationship with Jiang Chao over the years, he eventually decided to offer some advice.

"You know that Chen Feng?" Jiang Chao asked, surprised.

Director Zhang gave a wry smile and nodded his head. It was because of this Chen Feng that he had almost been disciplined.

"Oh? How did you come to know him?" Jiang Chao asked curiously.

Of course, Director Zhang wasn’t going to expose his embarrassing moment but said instead, "You don’t need to know that. We’ve known each other for so many years, I wouldn’t harm you, right? You’re well aware of the pollution issues at your two factories. If Chen Feng turns around and reports you, I can only say, I won’t be able to cover for you, and I’ll have to handle things officially."

Jiang Chao was stuck in a difficult position. Now, instead of thinking about how to get back at Chen Feng, he had to worry about whether Chen Feng would take revenge on him. Damn it! Where is the reason in all this?

Chen Feng had a rather fulfilling day at home because he had gone to weed and plant vegetables with his dad in the afternoon, mainly helping out and sowing seeds.

This task wasn’t terribly tiring, but of course, it could not be said to be relaxing either, especially since it often involved bending over.

The afternoon passed by quickly. He took a shower when he got home, then ate dinner, and afterward went back to his room to chat with Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting on WeChat, read some novels, and scrolled through short videos. Before he knew it, it was past ten o’clock.

He turned off the lights before eleven o’clock to go to sleep and got up at seven-thirty the next morning to wash up and have breakfast. After resting for about ten minutes, he went out for a run.

Following his usual route, he saw Lin Yujiao again, right at the same open-air exercise equipment place as last time. She was sitting by the waist-twisting machine, holding onto the handrails and twisting from side to side.

When she saw Chen Feng coming, she stopped her movement, immediately stood up, and ran over to him with a smile, saying, "Why are you only just getting here? I’ve been waiting for you for almost half an hour."

Chen Feng looked at her with a somewhat confused expression. Just yesterday, she was furious with him, and now she was greeting him with a smile. What was this all about?

"What’s the matter?"

Seeing Chen Feng looking at her oddly, Lin Yujiao checked her own clothing up and down, then reached up to adjust her fringe, as if there was nothing amiss.

"You are Lin Yujiao?" Chen Feng asked, his tone filled with incredulity.

"Yes, I am. What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Yujiao asked, a bit annoyed.

"Alright. Why are you suddenly so warm to me? I must admit, it’s taking me some time to adapt."

Hearing this, Lin Yujiao’s expression brightened as she playfully scolded Chen Feng, "You helped me so much, isn’t it normal for me to be a bit more enthusiastic towards you?"

"I helped you with your trouble?" Chen Feng asked, utterly baffled.

"Annoying!" Lin Yujiao scolded him again, her voice coquettish, "Didn’t you say yesterday that you’d take care of Jiang Chao for me? Since you’ve taken care of him, why are you still pretending?"

What!?

Chen Feng was completely confused. What did she mean by him taking care of Jiang Chao? His words from yesterday were just pleasantries. She wasn’t anything to him, not even willing to be a temporary companion, and there was no close relationship, so why would he help her?

Besides, even if he wanted to help her, he didn’t have the ability to do so at the moment. Jiang was influential and wealthy in the area, and though Chen Feng had some money now, he really wasn’t in a position to deal with him in a short amount of time.

"You’re really good at pretending. Jiang Chao called me last night, sincerely apologized, and promised never to bother me again. He also asked me to apologize to you on his behalf and said that if possible, he would like to invite you to a meal to apologize in person."

Chen Feng was completely taken aback. What on earth was Jiang Chao up to? Surely his brain hadn’t gone funny.

Even without knowing the reason, Chen Feng certainly wouldn’t foolishly turn away the credit that had landed in his hands.

"Oh, did he apologize to you? At least he knows his place. If you’re still angry and refuse to forgive him, I can continue to deal with him."

Chen Feng spoke with such assertiveness that Lin Yujiao’s eyes suddenly sparkled, her face was an array of admiration, a smile playing at her lips, completely enchanted.

Her reaction was understandable. Before, someone like Jiang Chao was a terrifying figure in her eyes, a real bigshot. Yet, yesterday at noon, Chen Feng said he’d help her sort out Jiang, and by evening, the man had contacted her, apologizing profusely and trying to curry favor through her with Chen Feng.

This made it clear that Chen Feng’s backing was evidently much stronger than Jiang Chao’s. How could Lin Yujiao not be moved by Chen Feng’s power?

"No... no need. He hasn’t really done anything to me. He used to frequent my store quite often, even brought quite a few friends over as customers. To be honest, I owe him favors."

"You really are a kind-hearted woman."

A slight smile couldn’t help but appear at the corner of Chen Feng’s mouth as he naturally reached out to take hold of her hand.

Lin Yujiao was initially startled and instinctively tried to pull away, but ultimately her attempt was weak and futile, and Chen Feng still held her hand. The back of her hand was fleshy and soft to the touch, while her palm was slightly rough—a testament to a woman who had started working in her teenage years.

"So, you should have time today, right? Let’s go out to the county again."

Holding her hand, Chen Feng said this calmly.

"Mm."

Lin Yujiao peeked at Chen Feng, half delighted and half coquettish, and shyly turned her head away, not daring to look at him again.

"Ha ha, then we’ll head back first, take a bath, change clothes, and head straight to the county."

"Are we going this early? Many shops won’t be open at this time."

"Let’s go first and see."

"Alright."

"That’s my good girl."

Chen Feng reached out his other hand to stroke her hair, and she looked up at him with a puppy-like tender gaze, showing no resistance or dissatisfaction.

She was indeed being very compliant.

Chen Feng was delighted at this sight. It seemed that by pure luck, she believed he had taken care of Jiang Chao for her. This type of fortunate stroke was truly unrivaled.

Chen Feng walked with her, hand in hand for a while, before releasing her hand as they neared the town, then they jogged back to their respective homes.

About half an hour later, Chen Feng arrived in his car in front of her store. Lin Yujiao, who had clearly taken great care with her appearance, quickly came out of the store and got into his car.

Once the car started, Chen Feng smelled the faint scent of perfume emanating from Lin Yujiao and said with a smile, "This perfume smells nice. I like it."

Lin Yujiao was slightly pleased and replied with a smile, "I don’t usually wear perfume."

"There’s no need for it normally. But when you’re with me, you can spray some occasionally."

"Mm, as long as you like it."

Hearing this, Chen Feng felt his heartbeat increase, and the car’s speed inadvertently picked up.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the best hotel in the new part of the county.

"You... why are you bringing me here?" Although Lin Yujiao was mentally prepared, the way Chen Feng directly brought her to the hotel was still a bit much to take in at once.

In a very serious tone, Chen Feng said, "To give me a massage. I’ve done you such a big favor, giving me a massage shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Lin Yujiao certainly didn’t believe it was just for a massage. Her face flushed and her heart started beating faster.

Finally, after Chen Feng got out of the car and opened the door for her, she could only obediently lower her head, get out, and follow him into the hotel.
