Chapter 1123 - 1123: An Extra 500,000

Looking at Pei Dengke, who was staring at him eagerly, Xiao Feng felt inexplicably sympathetic.

Previously, he thought Pei Dengke was very similar to Bozai's situation, both were unrequited loves, going to great lengths but failing to achieve their goals.

But at this moment, it seemed that Bozai and Pei Dengke still have a big gap.

For one thing, Bozai wasn't that easily fooled.

In fact, Xiao Feng's previous remarks about "girls being easily lacking a sense of security" and "accepting you, afraid of being mistaken for being materialistic" are common strategies used by Masters of Tea Art to clear their own names.

He simply randomly picked two and slightly modified them.

Then…

Pei Dengke actually believed it.

This shows that the reason Pei Dengke was deceived, besides Wang Tingwei's "proficiency in tea art," is also partly due to his own reasons.

Xiao Feng shook his head, cutting off the thought of assessing Pei Dengke's intelligence.

The most important thing now is to get him to deliver gifts to the Tang Family, and find out the relationship between Wang Tingwei and the Tang Family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng slowly said, "In your view, directly sending betrothal gifts to the Tang Family might seem abrupt.

But think about it from a different angle, given the current situation, what is it that you and Wang Tingwei need to continue forward?"

"This... Xiao, what do you think is necessary?"

"Of course, it's attitude!" Xiao Feng heavily clapped Pei Dengke's shoulder and said seriously, "As a real man, you have to openly show your attitude.

An attitude of 'she's the one, no turning back even if you hit a wall'!"

Pei Dengke thoughtfully said, "In this way, it solves Weiwei's lack of security issue.

Right!

I want her to know that I am sincere about her, want to marry her and spend the rest of our lives together, not just fool around."

By the end, Pei Dengke was already feeling a bit enthusiastic, shaking Xiao Feng's hand vigorously, saying with a tone of regret of missing each other earlier, "Xiao, you're the one who truly understands emotions!"

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched, reminding him, "Call me the moment there's a result, I'm waiting for your wedding banquet."

"Don't worry!" Pei Dengke gritted his teeth and vowed, "If Weiwei and I really make it, Xiao will be my great benefactor, and whenever you need me, I'll be there regardless of danger!"

"You're too kind, way too kind."

Xiao Feng exchanged a few polite words, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, saying, "You can still keep in touch with Qi Guanghe.

Just like before, when he plans to pull tricks, just let me know."

"That's easy!" Pei Dengke assured, patting his chest, "I've handled this matter beautifully."

"Alright, hurry up and think about what betrothal gifts to prepare."

"Then I'll head back first, Xiao, you should get some rest early!"

Not long after Pei Dengke left, Chi Xiao and Bao Jinghao found Xiao Feng.

Both first expressed their gratitude, then Bao Jinghao took out his phone to transfer money.

"Wasn't it agreed on a million? Why did it transfer one and a half million?" Xiao Feng looked at the transaction information, speaking in a puzzled tone.

Bao Jinghao laughed, "The extra fifty thousand is my voluntary gesture.

We appreciate everything Xiao has done, if I had more, I'd gladly give another fifty thousand."

In the midst of conversation, a cheerful voice came through, "Hey Nine, you're here!"

Xiao Feng didn't need to look back, on this hilltop, there's no one else but Shang Shanhu calling him "Nine".

Sure enough, he turned around.

Shang Shanhu strode over, his face unable to hide his joy.

Because among the eliminated, only he successfully "revived", while the others were still eliminated and couldn't even become peripheral members.

In comparison, the gap was instantly obvious.

This made Shang Shanhu once again sigh that his money is well spent!

"You're not going to sleep?" Xiao Feng asked casually.

Shang Shanhu laughed, "Got something to discuss with Nine."

Seeing Xiao Feng still giving no intention of introductions, Chi Xiao and Bao Jinghao exchanged glances and wisely bade farewell.

After they left, Shang Shanhu immediately took out his phone and asked for a payment account.

Xiao Feng did not refuse, smoothly reported the account, then took out a notebook, turned to the first page, and took out the IOU belonging to Shang Shanhu.

Soon, fifteen million arrived, and Xiao Feng returned the IOU to Shang Shanhu.

Frankly, Xiao Feng feels no psychological burden receiving this sum.

After all, it's Shang Shanhu who proactively offered, rather than Xiao Feng forcing the money, making the nature different.

Moreover, Shang Shanhu is no fool.

If he is willing to spend fifteen million to maintain his membership in the Demon Suppression Action Team, it means that he can earn more than fifteen million using this identity.

Get paid for work done, once the job is done, pay up, it's just that simple!

"Nine, you're not heading back to rest?"

Having paid, Shang Shanhu was not in a hurry to leave, but proactively engaged in conversation.

Xiao Feng said nonchalantly, "Can't sleep, if you're tired, just go to sleep, don't stay here out in the cold."

These words were clearly an invitation to leave.

However, Shang Shanhu seemed not to perceive the ulterior message, still smiling enthusiastically, "I feel like Nine has some kind of worries, or troublesome matters.

Why not share it, maybe I can help."

Having resolved to make friends with Xiao Feng, Shang Shanhu didn't mind being proactive even knowing of cold reception.

He even hoped deep down that Xiao Feng had troubles he couldn't resolve but Shang Shanhu could, which would make bonding easier.

"You?"

Xiao Feng glanced at Shang Shanhu, seemingly doubting his ability to help, but still asked, "Is your family based in Kyoto?"

"No." Shang Shanhu shook his head, suddenly pivoted and said, "But even though my family is not in Kyoto, we have collaborated extensively with some enterprises in Kyoto."

Xiao Feng followed up, "Have you heard of the Tang Family in Kyoto?"

"Tang Family?" Shang Shanhu frowned, began pacing within a certain range while muttering the name "Tang Family", like trying to recall.

Xiao Feng didn't pay much attention to Shang Shanhu, as he roughly guessed the latter's intent for staying.

Only now, he really wasn't in the mood for such social interactions.

However, suddenly, Shang Shanhu halted abruptly, asked, "Is the Tang Family Nine mentioned the one dealing in grain and oil seasoning?"

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, chasing the inquiry, "Do you really know them?"

"Yes, a lot of what the Tang Family sells are supplied by us." Shang Shanhu nodded in response.

"So, among the enterprises in Kyoto collaborating with your family, the Tang Family is not particularly prominent?" Xiao Feng pursued.

Though he asked, Xiao Feng already had the answer.

If the Tang Family were well-known, would Shang Shanhu need so long to recall?
