Chapter 370: Chapter 217 Office Building

After Chen Feng helped Fang Xiaoyue give the jerk a simple punishment, he completely put it out of his mind in a couple of days.

He didn’t know that his small act of throwing tea had made the guy suffer so much.

In fact, the jerk is now in the hospital, being treated like a guinea pig by several medical experts, which really had little to do with Chen Feng. It was entirely because of bacterial and viral infection, and the reason for that was his obsession with personal image and compulsive behavior, leading to prolonged use of hand dryers in the restroom.

Many people aren’t aware that restroom hand dryers aren’t very sanitary; ones that have been used over long periods naturally carry a lot of bacteria and viruses. Using them to dry hands only transfers germs and possibly viruses onto the hands, posing a health risk to everyone.

Ordinary people generally just use them briefly to dry off water, and any harm is quite minimal. But this jerk used them to dry his clothes, constantly using them for long periods, even putting his mouth and nose close to the virus and bacteria-riddled machines.

And just like that, he got infected.

If you say Chen Feng bears some responsibility, he does, but it certainly isn’t the main responsibility, or even a secondary one.

If you really want to find blame, the tea house would need to take some responsibility too. But wanting them to be held accountable is difficult because there’s no direct evidence. Similarly, if he wants to sue Chen Feng, he could at most target the tea-throwing incident, which is merely a civil matter, very minor.

At first, he surely hated Chen Feng terribly for his hospitalization and even reached out to his childhood friend, hoping for some revenge assistance.

However, his childhood friend told him that Chen Feng is not someone to mess with; on top of having a net worth nearing a hundred million, he knows many people, and advised him to give up, warning against escalating such a trivial matter into a major grudge.

Although his parents are government employees, they aren’t really in positions of leadership, at most just mid-level county officials, whereas his childhood friend’s family is more powerful than his.

So, since his childhood friend advised him thus, what else could he do? He had to endure it. He could only console himself that his hospitalization couldn’t really be blamed on Chen Feng, but on his own lack of common sense.

Chen Feng was unaware that he narrowly avoided trouble. Had it not been for the chance occurrence of Qin Zhen’s comrade, the deputy captain, noticing the investigation, and then asking around, Chen Feng very well might have been detained.

This is his Lucky Attribute; it’s unavoidable. With such good fortune, he’s now really hard to be secretly undermined by anyone.

After Lin Yujiao’s shop opened successfully, Chen Feng planned to return to Xiu Zhou, but Wu Mengting didn’t accompany him back. The reason being her dad’s injury hasn’t fully healed, and she needs to stay home to help take care of him.

A few days ago, Chen Feng did mention wanting to visit her dad, but she refused. There’s no need to say the reason; Chen Feng already knows — her parents strongly oppose her continuing to be with him due to his terminal illness, fearing what might happen should they stay together, potentially harming her for a lifetime.

Chen Feng understands this, but obviously wouldn’t feel great emotionally.

If not for Wu Mengting’s sake, of course, he wouldn’t proactively go and face cold shoulders either.

So when Wu Mengting said not to visit, Chen Feng didn’t go. Besides, he had no intention of trying to please her parents for the time being.

So Chen Feng returned to Xiu Zhou, continuing his easy-going life as a stay-at-home guy, where meals come at the snap of a finger.

Why call him a stay-at-home guy and not a shut-in? It’s actually quite simple; shut-ins are typically single, while guys at home usually have partners and girlfriends, and Chen Feng belongs to the latter group.

What makes countless shut-ins feel envious is that as a home guy, Chen Feng is served by women every day. If he wakes up early, there’s affectionate care, if late, there’s a loving breakfast. He doesn’t need to touch household chores, with lunch and dinner prepared by a culinary-skilled beauty, and during twilight, if the weather’s nice, he can walk in the neighborhood or in the picturesque East Lake with a beauty.

If interested, he can also shop around with her.

The reason for his wonderful life is that he’s financially well-off now.

Therefore, for the poor, they just can’t understand the joy of the rich.

As for self-comforting statements that "the rich aren’t necessarily happy," just listen to them; if you truly believe them and resign to being poor, you’re just setting yourself up for lifelong mediocrity.

Once you do have money, you’ll realize that at least 90% of life’s worries and pains drift away from you; just this fact alone makes one 90% happier than those who are poor.

That’s how starkly real life is!

Because Chen Feng is wealthy, Sun Xiaorui willingly and attentively takes care of him, organizing everything in life perfectly. This has made Chen Feng somewhat reliant on her now.

Without her around, Chen Feng’s quality of life would certainly drop considerably.

One day, Chen Feng unexpectedly received a call from Cai Zhixin, the previous owner of the villa he lives in. Cai Zhixin mentioned having another property near the International Trade Building and asked if he was interested.

International Trade Building is located in the city’s prime area, not far from East Lake, built over twenty years ago, with two underground levels and seven above, designed with a food plaza, lakeside tourist shops, and high-end office buildings.

The first three floors are shops, while those above are offices for rent.

Having attended school and lived in Xiu Zhou for around ten years, Chen Feng knew quite a bit about International Trade Building. It’s very lively during weekends and holidays, the location is indeed great, with convenient transportation, not far from the subway entrance, and importantly, near East Lake’s shores.

Although it’s been established for over twenty years, it remains bustling and lively.

It would be ideal if Cai Zhixin’s property here were a shop, but unfortunately, it’s an office, which surely isn’t cheap. If rented out, who knows in the Year of the Monkey or Horse when its cost will be recouped?

Thus, after pondering for a while, Chen Feng expressed disinterest.

Cai Zhixin urgently said, "We can negotiate the price; I can offer you below market value. I wouldn’t sell if I didn’t urgently need money, just like with the villa at Red Villa Bay — wasn’t that a good deal for you?"

There’s truth in that. Though Chen Feng isn’t very interested in the office, considering the previous transaction, Cai Zhixin did prove to be straightforward. Now, with him urgently needing cash, perhaps there’s a chance to snap up a bargain.

After all, with a significant sum sitting in the bank, rather than having it there, investing in real estate can hedge against future currency inflation and depreciation effects.

So, after serious consideration, Chen Feng decided to agree to take a look.

The two arranged to view it at one o’clock in the afternoon, and Chen Feng told Sun Xiaorui about this, asking if she was interested in coming along. Sun Xiaorui was certainly interested.

She’s aware now of Chen Feng’s wealth, at least several tens of millions, so Chen Feng no longer needs to deliberately hide how wealthy he is from her.
