Chapter 512: Chapter 0514: Searching for Jade [Part 1]

Tie Mu gave Chu Feng a strange look, then glanced at a shy Tang Xiaoxiao and said, "Chu Feng, you didn’t do anything to Xiaoxiao, did you?"

Chu Feng punched Tie Mu on the shoulder and said, "Cut it out. Tian Tian had to go home for a couple of days, and you’re already thinking about flipping the roof?"

Pounding his chest, Tie Mu said, "I’m a man among men; why would I be afraid of a woman?"

"Is that so?" Just then, an ominous voice sounded from behind Tie Mu.

Turning around, Tie Mu saw an unfriendly-looking Tian Tian right behind him.

"I thought you said you wouldn’t be back until this afternoon?" Tie Mu looked as if he’d just seen a cat when he spotted Tian Tian.

Tian Tian said in an unfriendly tone, "If I hadn’t come back early, how would I have witnessed such a display of manliness?"

With a foolish chuckle, Tie Mu said, "I was just joking with Chu Feng. You’re overthinking it, let’s go eat. I’ve been unable to eat or drink properly without you these two days."

After saying that, Tie Mu quickly pulled Tian Tian away.

Tian Tian greeted Chu Feng and then followed Tie Mu to get some food.

Seeing Tie Mu like this, Chu Feng could only smile helplessly.

With Tie Mu gone, only Chu Feng and Tang Xiaoxiao were left. Chu Feng took the initiative and said, "You haven’t had lunch yet, right? Let’s go have lunch together."

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I’ll treat you."

Chu Feng said, "Okay."

Tang Xiaoxiao muttered, "Not very gentlemanly."

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Wait, you’ll see my gentlemanly manners in a bit."

The two went to a restaurant outside the school and casually picked one, then asked for a quiet private room. Chu Feng ordered three dishes and a soup.

The dishes arrived quickly, and seeing an uneasy Tang Xiaoxiao, Chu Feng said, "This isn’t like you; I remember you always being feisty and fiery. What brings you to me this time?"

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Xiaoxiao said, "Actually, this time it’s my father who sent me. He wanted me to ask you if our Tang Family could become the secondary agents for your new energy source?"

"Sure!" Chu Feng replied without even thinking.

From the moment Tang Xiaoxiao arrived, Chu Feng had guessed why she was there. The Tang Family, due to previous changes, had fallen into decline. Hence, in this transformation of East River, the Tang Family hadn’t gained any real benefits.

But the Tang Family had always stood by Chu Feng, following his lead whatever the scenario.

"Ah! You agreed just like that!" Tang Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected Chu Feng to agree so readily to her request.

Chu Feng looked at Tang Xiaoxiao’s surprised expression and her wide, watery eyes and laughed, "I could be less casual about it if you want, maybe go back and think it over for ten or eight years."

"No!" Tang Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted when she heard Chu Feng’s words.

Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Just kidding. You go back and tell your father to draft a detailed plan, then send it to Fengjing Group."

Tang Xiaoxiao still seemed disbelief, "Is it really that simple? You agreed just like that? No other conditions?"

Chu Feng said, "Yes, but aren’t you going to pay for this meal?"

Tang Xiaoxiao said, "What else?"

After thinking for a moment, Chu Feng said, "Nothing else. Of course, if you wanted to offer yourself in return, you’d have to ask your Sister Rongrong first to see if she agrees. I have no objections."

Upon hearing Chu Feng’s teasing, Tang Xiaoxiao’s pretty face couldn’t help but blush slightly.

Chu Feng said, "Let’s eat, you must have classes this afternoon."

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and replied, "Yeah, two more classes."

Chu Feng said, "Then eat quickly."

After they finished eating, it was indeed Tang Xiaoxiao who paid the bill. Of course, Chu Feng went out under the contemptuous gaze of the waiter.

"You see how much disdain I have to endure just to let you comfortably accept my help?" Chu Feng complained as they left the restaurant.

Tang Xiaoxiao giggled and said, "That’s all your own doing. I could comfortably accept your help even if you invited me for a meal."

"I won’t accompany you back to school, for fear that being seen would have you kneeling on a washboard at home. I have to go home and tell my dad about this," Tang Xiaoxiao said and then ran off to get her car and head back to school.

The upheaval in East River’s upper echelon lasted a month before it finally began to stabilize a bit.

The new structure of East River had completely taken shape.

The An Family and Zhuang Family became the two great families of East River and formally entered Huaxia’s topmost circles.

Of course, no one would forget that there’s also the Fengjing Group in East River. Although not a family by traditional definition, no one overlooked its presence. On the contrary, everyone regarded it as equal to or even higher than the great families.

Because the Fengjing Group belonged to Chu Feng, and both great families needed to cooperate with the Fengjing Group.

Soon, the Qingming festival holiday arrived, and Fatty Tang’s call came as well.

"Little brother, are you ready? I’ll be in East River in an hour."

Chu Feng said, "Nothing to prepare. Since Big Brother you’re covering food and drink, I just need to bring myself, and all will be well."

Fatty Tang laughed and said, "Exactly! As long as you go, success is guaranteed!"

An hour later, Fatty Tang arrived at Chu Feng’s doorstep.

This time, Fatty Tang brought quite a few people, after all, they were traveling internationally to a country with an unstable political situation.

"Little brother, I’ve missed you to death," Fatty Tang said as he gave Chu Feng a warm embrace.

Chu Feng said, "Big Brother, you’re so fat you’re nearly smothering me to death."

Fatty Tang laughed and scolded, "I’ve lost two pounds this month because of supply issues!"

Chu Feng said, "Big Brother, are you sure you’ve lost weight? Maybe it’s in a place I can’t see?"

Fatty Tang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "Just arrived and you’re already making fun of me."

Chu Feng had long told Cui Jingyan and the others about going to Myanmar. Although they disagreed, Chu Feng insisted on going, so they could only urge him to be careful.

Fatty Tang’s private jet arrived in Yunshuang in the afternoon. Ma Hong had been waiting there already, with the Ma Family having successfully entered the provincial capital of Yunshuang with Chu Feng’s help and becoming a real prominent family there.

"Fatty, didn’t you say you lost weight? Why do I see nothing but fat?" Ma Hong joked about Fatty Tang’s physique as he saw him.

"Is that any of your business?" Fatty Tang responded irritably.

Ma Hong laughed heartily, "Let’s stay in Yunshuang tonight. It’s been a while since we brothers gathered."
