After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 59 Heartwarming Lunch
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shu was still a little excited. Feng Li glanced at her and said, "If you like money so much, become my wife and the whole of FY will be yours."

Jiang Shu sighed softly, "If you keep causing this trouble, I'm afraid I'll die of anger before I even inherit your fortune..."

Feng Li paused for a moment: "If you really marry me, I won't be angry with you anymore."

Jiang Shu laughed and said, "Before I even met you, I heard many wealthy people say the same thing: 'The words of the FY heir are deceitful.'"

Feng Li: "..."

The next morning, Jiang Shu went out and bought a bowl of clear soup noodles at the alley entrance, put it in the yard for Feng Li, and then picked up her schoolbag and went out.

Amidst the sounds of students reading aloud in the morning, Class 27 of Senior Three is always the class with the most noise.

Jiang Shu gleaned interesting gossip from the noise.

Xu Yan's story was the most explosive: "A big thing happened in Jiangcheng yesterday morning. A young man with a face that could bring down a country appeared in the news and is still trending on social media! My dad went crazy after seeing the photo and wants to cast him in a movie. He says that with that face, even without acting skills, he could be a pretty face that would outshine all the handsome men in the entertainment industry."

Lin Shuangshuang exclaimed, "I saw it too! The trending topic was like crazy, it would rise and fall, but later it seemed to be about Yan Yu's husband's Yanxing Group and FY's entertainment company in China getting into a fight, and then that trending topic was suppressed and never rose again."

Another classmate chimed in: "Xu Yan, what happened next? Did your dad really plan to cast that young man in a movie? I definitely want to see it when it comes out—there aren't any really positive photos of him online, and it's weird, all the pictures I downloaded on my phone have disappeared!"

Xu Yan lowered her voice: "It's not just you. After the last time the trending topic dropped, most people's pictures disappeared from their phones. My dad was the same. He went out for a walk and came back and never mentioned the 'flower vase' thing again. He just told me not to talk about that guy outside, especially not to say anything bad about him."

Jiang Shu cleared her throat: "Just two-legged men! I have a whole bunch of them. After the college entrance exam, I'll take you to my place to enjoy them slowly."

Lin Shuangshuang covered her mouth and laughed: "Sorry, now I'm not interested in anyone except Li Yubai, Yan Yu, and that handsome guy who's trending on social media!"

Xu Yan sighed, "At this moment, I'm especially envious of the puppeteer. What has he done to deserve both a top celebrity and the God of Wealth of the capital city..."

Qin Dou, on the other hand, was a bit quiet today, and seemed a little lost in thought.

It wasn't until the bell rang that he tugged at Jiang Shu's sleeve with some suspicion: "Jiang Shu, I feel like that guy trending on social media is similar to that rich kid you showed me a few days ago..."

Jiang Shu lowered her voice: "It's him—but the ones trending on social media are all candid shots, not very good, and don't even come close to his real looks."

Qin Dou gasped: "How good-looking must he be in person!"

“Let’s not talk about that. You said the students in Class 27 all come from wealthy families, so I imagine they have high standards.” Jiang Shu humbly asked, “If you had to choose one expensive and unique item, what would you want?”

Qin Dou suddenly realized: "Are you trying to ask about the widely discussed Puppet Man livestream PK incident?"

"So, it's become a hot topic?" Jiang Shu was a little confused.

"At midnight last night, Chaomu's homepage and several other major live streaming websites all posted it!" Qin Dou was very excited. "Puppet Man and Nightshade, two giants in the live streaming world, I wonder what kind of sparks they will create!"

Qin Dou wasn't the only one excited; Lin Shuangshuang joined the discussion: "Before Puppet Man appeared, Nightshade was the top livestreamer, with an astonishing number of fans. But when it comes to showing off wealth, he probably can't beat Puppet Man. Although he's only done two livestreams, his products and connections are top-tier..."

Xu Yan began, "I have a rumor. Apparently, Nightshade originally didn't want to participate in the PK, but was threatened by several major platforms. As for why the platforms insisted on the PK, my dad said it was like 'playing with fire to amuse the feudal lords'..."

"What do you mean?"

"So, some big shot wanted to please his girlfriend, so he set up this competition... I don't know exactly which big shot it is, and my dad doesn't dare tell me too much." "Let's not dwell on things at the top of the pyramid! What I'm more interested in now is what surprises the puppeteer will bring..." Lin Shuangshuang sighed, "My dad is also planning to buy it this time. He's already prepared the cash, all he needs is speed!"

Jiang Shu tapped the table: "So, can we discuss what you'd like to see first? — Think boldly, don't worry about your purchasing power."

The group thought for a while.

Xu Yan: "I hope to make a movie with Yan Yu."

Qin Dou: "There are plenty of incredibly rare and priceless items! The things that the Puppet Master can produce are definitely beyond my imagination! Tomorrow night, we'll just have to snatch them!"

Lin Shuangshuang sighed, "If I could, I would hope that the puppet show would auction off a spot for either Li Yubai or Yan Yu as a girlfriend, and that I would snatch it up..."

Jiang Shu: "...I think I'll ask someone else."

……

At the same time, an uninvited guest arrived at No. 082 Xinghua Lane.

At that time, Feng Li was leisurely eating breakfast.

This was a special meal prepared by his sugar daddy to prevent him from going out and attracting unwanted romantic attention again. He ate it very carefully, not wasting a single piece.

Dressed in a suit and tie, Nie Hongnian followed the navigation on his phone into Xinghua Lane. Pushing open the half-closed courtyard gate, he saw the FY heir, who was usually aloof and only ate delicacies and lived in mansions, sitting on a small, peeling stool under the blooming apricot trees, eating a bowl of plain noodles.

Nie Hongnian stood there for a full two minutes before exclaiming incredulously, "Ali, are you possessed by a ghost?"

Feng Li elegantly finished the last sip of noodle soup, not even glancing at him: "What are you doing here?"

"The old man sent me to assist you," Nie Hongnian said reluctantly. "Your main battlefield is in the United States, and the old man is worried that you will be bullied in China. If you need anything in the future, just tell me to run errands."

"Alright, since you're here, I can't let you come for nothing." Feng Li said lazily, "Go to the capital and buy all the properties next to Li's Group and Yanxing Group, and establish Fengshen Group. Also, separate all of FY's global entertainment division and Asian business empire and incorporate them into Fengshen Group. You'll be in charge of it."

Nie Hongnian: "..."

"I'll arrange for someone to go to the supermarket and buy me some groceries. I'm going to cook lunch for my wife myself later."

Nie Hongnian detected a hint of pride in that calm tone: "When did you get a wife?"

"This has nothing to do with you. Once you've finished talking, leave. Don't show your face in front of me again unless it's important, or you'll interfere with my relationship with my wife." Feng Li gave him the order to leave.

Nie Hongnian didn't want to be with this eccentric young master anyway, so upon hearing this, he turned and left: "The old man has unfrozen all your funds. Also, I'll arrange for someone to deliver your batch of confiscated bathrobes along with the ingredients later."

"A bathrobe..." Feng Li's thoughts fluttered slightly.

……

At noon, Jiang Shu received a notification from the gatekeeper's office, asking her to go to the school gate to pick up the lunch her parents had brought.
