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

Chapter 83 Home-School Friendship
There is a large outdoor campsite on the shore of Wangyue Lake. With its beautiful environment and complete facilities, it is a top choice for many outdoor social activities.

When Jiang Shu and Feng Li arrived, quite a few people had already gathered there.

The educational psychologist is already speaking eloquently:

"Since this is a supportive home-school partnership, we invite all the guests here today to open up and share any issues they encounter in their studies or parent-child relationships. We'll discuss them together, come up with the best support solutions, and strive to give students greater confidence and a better state of mind for their final sprint before the college entrance examination..."

Feng Li was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, but he still attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared at the scene. Jiang Shu led him to the corner and casually threw the empty basket in her hand into his arms: "Take this, cover yourself up, especially your face."

The arrogant and domineering prince cooperated fully, not only covering most of himself but also buttoning his clothes all the way up, completely abandoning his usual frivolous and dissolute demeanor.

But his obviously expensive clothes, his refined features, and his pampered, top-tier demeanor still caused a stir among the crowd.

Jiang Shu said in a low voice, "When it's almost time, we'll slip away. And you, you just have to have this face that attracts all sorts of attention!"

Feng Li leaned back lazily in his chair without saying a word.

The counselor had already provided on-site psychological counseling with several students' cases, and as it was nearing the end, the counselor's attention fell on Jiang Shu and Feng Li.

Nothing more. The figure in the corner, even draped in a burlap sack, was eye-catching.

"Please come to the front, this family. We're going to conduct a random home visit."

A bewildered Jiang Shu nudged an even more bewildered Feng Li, and the two of them stumbled onto the stage.

"Don't be nervous." The psychologist smiled very kindly. "Your family combination is so eye-catching. For most of the half hour of my lecture, the audience was watching you. So at the end of the lecture, I specially invited you two to come up on stage to fulfill everyone's wish."

Sure enough, when Feng Li stood on the stage, his perfect figure and half-hidden features caused gasps of surprise—not only from female students, but also from female parents!
"May I ask what your relationship is?" the therapist asked.

At this time, it's clearly inappropriate to make jokes about nephews and aunts.

Feng Lifan said casually, "I am her brother."

"So, what issues brought you two to today's support and social gathering?" the counselor asked again. "Is it academic pressure, strained family relationships, or uncertainty about the future?"

"Neither," Jiang Shu replied earnestly. "It's because my teacher felt I was working too hard and told me to relax a bit."

"Oh, could you elaborate?"

"I stay up all night for tutoring every day, and my teacher is worried that my body can't handle it."

"Staying up all night every day is too much for most people," the psychologist sighed. "Your teacher is right! Relaxation is for better stress management—but let me ask this young man, if your sister stays up all night every day, do you, as her older brother, feel anxious?"

"No. I enjoy staying up all night with her," Feng Li said tactfully. "I can watch her all night without getting tired of it."

"What plans or expectations do you have for your sister's future?"

"Do whatever you want," Feng Li said nonchalantly. "We have everything we need, as long as you're happy."

One parent couldn't help but ask, "Sir, it's actually better for young people to have dreams and pressure. Don't you want her to make a name for herself? Can you protect her for the rest of her life?"

Feng Li hummed in agreement: "What world are you talking about? I can create a world for her, as big as she wants—as for protecting her for life? No way. Our family situation is special; I don't expect her to protect me for life." The parent choked for a moment! Immediately, another parent stood up: "Create a world? Young people are so arrogant! Human desires are endless. The child is only a teenager and doesn't have enough self-control or discernment. What she wants now is just a small space, which you can create; tomorrow she wants a house, which you can also create. What if she wants a building later? What if she wants a vast place like the shores of Wangyue Lake? What will you use to create that?"

Feng Li raised an eyebrow: "In a small city like Jiangcheng, a building is worth very little. As for this tiny Wangyue Lake—a treasure—if you want it, I'll buy it right now?"

Jiang Shu glanced at him: "Speak properly, don't stir up trouble."

Feng Li softened his tone: "Parent, mind your own business. You don't need to worry about my family's affairs."

The counselor quickly smoothed things over: "Parents, please don't get angry. Every family's situation is different, but the ultimate goal is to help your child have the best mindset for the college entrance exam. Young man, judging from your tone, your family is quite well-off?"

Feng Li hesitated for a moment, then said modestly, "It's alright."

More parents chimed in, "How can that be? My family is doing alright, but we can barely afford to buy property on the most bustling street in Jiangcheng..."

Parent Versailles's remarks immediately caused a stir. The psychologist frowned slightly at this deliberate attempt to flaunt wealth. "This parent—"

Feng Li looked at the person who was making a fuss: "Only one street? And in a place like Jiangcheng. The conditions are indeed average. Last time I wanted to buy all the commercial streets from the first to the fifth ring road of the capital, I even paid the money, but the authorities wouldn't sell. In the end, I could only settle for second best and bought the twenty most expensive commercial buildings in the capital and the commercial streets they were located on."

The Versailles parent blushed and said, "You're just bragging..."

"Buying a building or a street only costs a few dollars, is that something for me to brag about?" Feng Li made a phone call and put it on speakerphone.

After only two rings, a familiar voice, a regular feature in the news, rang out:

"You little bastard, why are you still calling! I've told you, this is China, not your domineering America! You're really delusional, thinking you can buy up the entire capital city's first five ring roads? You're dreaming! And those commercial buildings you bought, there are too many of them, it's unfair competition! You better get some of them back!"

Feng Li didn't say anything and hung up the phone directly.

A group of parents looked at each other in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost!
Feng Li looked at the person who was making a fuss: "If you still don't believe me, do you want me to video chat with the other party?"

The parents lowered their heads, like quails, not daring to utter another word.

Jiang Shu coughed lightly, reminding Feng Li, "Don't cause trouble."

"I didn't cause trouble, trouble caused me, and I'm not even allowed to retaliate in a simple way? If it were me, I would have bankrupted him!"

Jiang Shu tugged at his sleeve, telling him to stop talking.

Then, Jiang Shu looked at the psychologist and said, "My brother has a bad temper. Maybe you could talk to someone else?"

The therapist's mind was still wandering to the ring roads and skyscrapers of Beijing, and looking at the bewildered state of the parents and students sitting below, they were clearly not much better off than him. If the conversation continued any longer, the counseling session would probably turn into a wealth-flaunting one.

He immediately began, "Thank you both for your cooperation. Please take your seats. Alright, let's now move on to the parent-child games..."

Not far away, Ning Yunzhan's team building equipment had been set up.

"Today's team-building theme," Ning Yunzhan smiled and raised his glass to the other men, "to share a love affair with Master Jiang."
