Chapter 1476: Chapter 712 News about the Land Being Investigated

Provincial University Law School is not far from Wangfu Restaurant, which has a high-sounding name but offers student-friendly prices, making it a popular dining spot for students nearby.

Especially because they often have small promotions like giving out a few bottles of drinks, which are quite appealing to students, and their business is booming.

After Yan Fei parked his car and entered the lobby, he was startled: such a bustling scene!

The large hall was packed full, not only with many students having their ’farewell meals’ but also families. Yan Fei was looking for his wife among the tables when he heard someone calling from the right: "Hey, handsome, are you here alone?"

Yan Fei turned his head and saw a group of girls from Xu Xiaoyan’s dormitory by the window, which he had not noticed when he parked his car, otherwise, he would have seen them earlier.

The girl calling him was the younger and lively one in the dorm, who, not waiting for him to respond, quickly shouted: "Handsome, we have many beauties here, come join us for dinner! We didn’t bring enough money, if you pay the bill later, you can pick any one of us to take home as your girlfriend!"

Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, his brain almost couldn’t process this twist. Seeing the group of girls trying to hold back their laughter, he realized it was a prank, so he nodded and said while walking: "Really, can I choose anyone? Can I take the tallest girl?"

"As long as you treat, you can take anyone, she is your girlfriend from now on, come on over!" the girl said laughing while pushing Xu Xiaoyan, the tallest.

Their table was still two tables away from the entrance, and this dialogue made half of the hall fall silent, that peculiar, eerie kind of silence.

And it wasn’t absolutely quiet; there were sounds of chopsticks and cups dropping...

People who heard the conversation looked incredulous, many young people glanced at the table of diverse girls, then at Yan Fei, all seemingly eager to jump in with the saying "Any of them could take his place"—the girls didn’t eat much, there weren’t many dishes on the table, and the prices were so modest... such a bargain that comes once in a blue moon!

Just two tables away, Yan Fei felt his back getting warm as he walked—the eyes of the crowd were not only sharp but fiery!

And just as he reached the table, the girl made room for him next to Xu Xiaoyan, inviting him: "Handsome, come sit here. What do you do? Aren’t you going to introduce yourself?"

Yan Fei was only able to play along briefly, after which he really didn’t know what else to say. The other girls, however, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

This laughter returned the noisy atmosphere to half of the hall; it turns out everyone knew each other, today’s students really know how to have fun.

When it was actually time for Yan Fei to pay the bill after eating, the girl who started the joke stood up: "Our dorm meal is always pooled money, and we precisely accounted for the dishes we ordered; you didn’t order extra and even saved us from wasting food, how could we let you pay?"

Stunned, Yan Fei muttered: "I always feel like that statement has a bit of an offensive edge!"

"What’s wrong?" Xu Xiaoyan asked next to him. "Didn’t she speak the truth?"

"In my hometown, we make sure nothing goes to waste at meals!" Before Yan Fei could speak, Little Dark-skinned Girl spoke up. "Everyone at home usually has animals to feed; if there are no pigs, there’ll be something else..."

Yan Fei smiled, indicating that was exactly his thought.

"Ha ha..." Jiang Xueling, the oldest in the dorm, led the laughter. "Boss Yan, you’re really thinking too hard. By the way, don’t rush back to your cozy nests later, I’ve got some news to share with you."

The news Jiang Xueling had wasn’t about anything else but about that competitive piece of land. Initially, it was Chen He who urged Yan Fei to buy the land, and though Yan Fei didn’t end up buying it, Chen He felt somewhat bad about it. Since he wasn’t too busy with work nowadays, he frequently looked up information about that land.

This casual inquiry... resulted in joyous laughter from Jiang Xueling.

Initially, everyone thought there was some trick to that land, hence more people were tentatively bidding, causing a hype as if the land was much sought after, assuming there was an unreleased plan—only a fool would not know that involving such matters could change the worth of a land from nothing to millions in a snap, literally with a piece of paper (announcement).

Especially since Yan Fei, a new face, kept bidding higher, making others think there was ’something odd’ going on.

No one could imagine that someone wanted such a big piece of land just for some peace and quiet. Not to mention guessing, even if someone spilled it, ordinary people wouldn’t believe it!

However, after the land price soared to over ten million, the buyer initially felt good as if picking something valuable cheaply in an antique market, feeling as refreshed as having a cup of Sour Plum Soup during the dog days.

But no sooner had they started feeling pleased, the messages from relatives and friends came about investigating the land, and the buyer suddenly felt like they had stepped into a deep pit—about the plans for the land, there was simply nothing. Which meant that trying to make millions from this land was less likely than winning a lottery through gambling.
