Chapter 1122 - 1122: Sending Betrothal Gifts Directly

The cold wind swept by, making people instinctively wrap their clothes tighter.

At this moment, on the mountaintop, most people had returned to their tents to rest, but there were also those like Xiao Feng, outside the tent making a phone call.

Xiao Feng put down his phone and closed his eyes to reorganize his thoughts.

The reason why he targeted the Tang Family was because of what Pei Dengke had said, about Wang Tingwei representing the Tang Family in sending birthday wishes to his grandfather.

Usually, someone who represents a family in public, even if not a direct descendant, must be a significant figure within that family.

They wouldn't just send a security guard or a cook to represent the entire family.

From this, it's inferred that Wang Tingwei must have some degree of authority within the Tang Family.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean that Wang Tingwei was representing the Tang Family when she came to negotiate with him...

Thinking again about making the suppliers of Flirting and Romantic break their contracts unilaterally, and someone stirring trouble among his clients...

Xiao Feng felt there was no appropriate angle to approach these issues.

Because asking those few suppliers would probably yield the same negligible results as the information from He Qizheng.

As for tracking down the client stirring trouble, it's likely useless, as they might have already left the group and rejoined under a different name, making it too troublesome to trace.

Especially the clients buying Original Heart Pill, who highly value privacy; otherwise, it's like announcing they have issues, making investigation much more resistant, and potentially causing client loss.

"So, after all this, I still have to start with the Tang Family..." Xiao Feng opened his eyes and sighed deeply.

He glanced at the client group, everything seemed stable, and sales were gradually picking up.

Yet, this didn't bring him joy, as this stability could be disrupted at any moment.

If he didn't expose the "big shot" targeting him, he could never relax.

Just then, an excited shout reached his ears: "Xiao Ge, you're here, I've been looking for you for ages."

Xiao Feng turned his head and saw Pei Dengke jogging towards him.

He put away his thoughts and asked with a smile, "Looking for me for something?"

"Didn't I promise to give you a million? A man keeps his word, give me your account number, I'll transfer it to you now."

"Do I have to accept it?"

Pei Dengke nodded firmly, "If you don't take it, Xiao Ge, I'll just have to bring you the cash after we get down the mountain."

"Alright, alright, I'll accept it then." Xiao Feng reluctantly gave him his bank account number.

While waiting for the funds to be transferred, Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "I feel, as a man, you should do what a man should do, what do you think?"

Pei Dengke was taken aback, finding it odd that the topic had changed so abruptly.

He pondered for a moment and replied, "I agree with you, Xiao Ge, but what exactly should a man do?"

"I mean, you've known Wang Tingwei for over a year, and you haven't succeeded in your pursuit. I think you might be going about it the wrong way."

"Oh?" Pei Dengke immediately became interested, and asked eagerly, "Xiao Ge, what do you think I should do then?"

Xiao Feng cleared his throat and, in the tone of someone with experience, said, "Based on what you've told me before, it's clear you're going for the warm-hearted gentleman approach.

This approach isn't inherently good or bad, but it involves some level of 'acting'; in daily life, it's better to be genuine.

Although we haven't known each other long, I can see you're a genuine guy. Showing your true self might work wonders."

"This..." Pei Dengke thought for a while, then smiled bitterly, "Xiao Ge, could you make it a bit clearer? I'm not quite sure what you're getting at."

Xiao Feng laughed heartily, speaking in a very bold manner, "Have you ever thought that Wang Tingwei might be testing you?"

"Testing?"

"Exactly!" Xiao Feng nodded, "Girls often lack a sense of security.

Even though you've done a lot, you're wealthy and don't lack money.

Using something you don't lack to give to her, might make her feel you don't really care about her…"

Hearing this, Pei Dengke couldn't help but excitedly say, "That's a huge misunderstanding! I care a lot about Weiwei, I really care about her!"

"Don't rush, let me finish."

"Okay, go on, Xiao Ge."

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment before speaking again, "In my view, there's another main reason why Wang Tingwei hasn't agreed to be with you."

"What reason?"

"Think carefully, constantly spending on her, giving gifts, if she agreed, no matter her true feelings, wouldn't it look to outsiders like she's with you for your money?"

"Uh... that makes sense." Pei Dengke suddenly understood, "So Weiwei hasn't agreed because she doesn't want people to think she's a gold-digger?

But if that's the case, what should I do?

Stop giving her gifts?"

Xiao Feng shook his head, "Gifts should still be given, but not directly to Wang Tingwei."

"Then who should I give them to?"

"You met Wang Tingwei at your grandfather's birthday, right? Who was she representing then?" Xiao Feng carefully led the conversation.

Pei Dengke immediately replied, "Weiwei was representing the Tang Family... Oh, I get it, Xiao Ge, you're suggesting I should give gifts to the Tang Family?

Huh, why didn't I think of that earlier?

Right, if it's a gift for the Tang Family, what do you think would be appropriate, Xiao Ge?"

The successive questions clearly showed that he had been successfully misguided... cough, led on the right track by Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng stroked his chin, pretending to contemplate before providing an answer, "In my opinion, either don't give a gift, or if you do, just make it a betrothal gift!"

"A betrothal gift?!" Pei Dengke frowned, "Giving a betrothal gift seems a bit abrupt.

First, my parents don't even know about Weiwei and me.

Plus, I still don't know what role Weiwei truly plays in the Tang Family."

Hearing the last statement, Xiao Feng couldn't help but admire Wang Tingwei's ability as a Master of Tea Art.

A year and more of receiving gifts without revealing much about herself, that's certainly a skill.

Or rather, "a necessary skill of a qualified Master of Tea Art."

"Have you ever asked her about her relationship with the Tang Family?" Xiao Feng asked, following the thread.

As Pei Dengke recalled, he replied, "I never really asked, Weiwei once said, if you truly like someone, it should be pure and without any other impurities.

Only liking someone without considering their background, wealth, or other external factors counts as true affection.

Since then, we've never talked about that again."

Xiao Feng took a deep breath, secretly admiring Wang Tingwei's "tea art" which had so thoroughly confused Pei Dengke with just a few words.
