"The subway is so crowded," Feng Feifei whispered in Chen Xiao's ear.

"We're just joining in the fun—"

Feng Feifei looked around and found herself feeling quite uncomfortable, as countless eyes were also scrutinizing her. How could such a strikingly beautiful woman be taking the subway?
Many people here harbor lustful thoughts; after all, a girl taking the subway is far more likely to embolden them than a girl riding in a Rolls-Royce Phantom. As for her boyfriend? What kind of man could possibly make such a beautiful girlfriend take the subway? He's nothing to be afraid of.

Several people tried to squeeze in this direction, but were suddenly scolded by a short-haired girl: "Are you guys crazy? It's already so crowded here, why are you still trying to get closer?"

The little girl looked fierce, and the boys were actually a bit scared. But when they saw Feng Feifei's stunning beauty, they mustered up their courage again. At this moment, a 190cm tall man next to the short-haired girl glared at them and said, "Can't you understand human language? What are you pushing for?"

They were finally scared off; the burly man looked like a ferocious demon. The man and woman were naturally Chen Xiao and Feng Feifei's plainclothes bodyguards.

"Feifei, now you know what 'beautiful women bring trouble' means, right? If it weren't for them, I probably would have been beaten to death."

"It's not that exaggerated." Feng Feifei looked around curiously, like a happy little girl. No one could tell that she was the head of a company with assets worth hundreds of billions (Dr. Feng Robotics + Junxing Intelligent R&D Center).

Across from them sat an elderly man wearing glasses, who looked to be around 60 years old. He was sitting near the door, and next to him was a little girl in a school uniform, leaning against him, holding an exercise book in one hand and a pen in the other, concentrating intently on her exercises in the fast-moving carriage.

The car sped along, and the student's body swayed with it, but his eyes never left his workbook.

So serious? Chen Xiao glanced around, and Feng Feifei suddenly said, "I'll go call that kid to sit over here—"

Chen Xiao grabbed her arm, "I'll go call her—", of course, to let her sit in her seat. He couldn't let Feng Feifei stand while he sat; he still had his pride.

Just as she was about to get up, she noticed the old man opposite her stand up and pat the female student on the shoulder.

The female student turned her head, her eyes still filled with confusion, wondering why the old man was patting her. It wasn't until she heard the old man's words that she understood that he was offering her his seat.

She hurriedly waved her hand, explaining that the school taught them to respect the elderly and care for the young, and to give up their seats to seniors on public transport. She argued that it was unreasonable for an elderly person to offer her a seat. But the elderly woman insisted, and the girl, blushing, could not resist her insistence and nervously sat down in her seat.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao exchanged a glance with Feng Feifei. There was warmth in the world everywhere. He recalled many reports he'd read about elderly people who, upon boarding a bus, would verbally abuse and assault young women who wouldn't give up their seats. Looking at this old man, Chen Xiao felt a deep respect and went over to pat him on the shoulder. "Sir, please sit over there."

"No need, no need, I'm only a few stops away." The old man turned around, saw Chen Xiao, and smiled—a warm smile.

Chen Xiao chuckled, "Look, if you're standing, I feel awkward sitting down. How about I stand with you?"

The old man looked at Chen Xiao carefully and nodded: "Thank you, young man—"

And so, Chen Xiao stood in front of Feng Feifei, gripping the handrail, until they got off at Junxiao Square station, completely unaware that their moment had been filmed and posted online. Of course, the person who posted the video wasn't primarily targeting Chen Xiao, but rather the elderly person's act of giving up their seat to a student.

Junxiao Plaza Store 1's basement level is seamlessly connected to the subway. The basement level has now been converted into Junxiao Supermarket, which is in the final stages of renovation. However, the entire Junxiao Supermarket is still fenced off, and customers cannot enter.

Chen Xiao didn't bring Feng Feifei into Junxiao Supermarket. Han Xue has been keeping an eye on several projects in Tianning recently and isn't in Jiangzhou, otherwise he could have gone to see her.

"Is this the first shopping plaza you acquired?" It's really pathetic; Feng Feifei has never even been here. Or perhaps it's not just this place, she simply doesn't have time to go shopping.

Managing Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group and Junxing Intelligent R&D Center, she was almost as busy as Xu Wu. He held her hand; she was one of the most capable women in his life.

"Shall we go for a stroll on the first floor first?" Since we've finally come out together, I can't let her miss out on anything other couples do.

"Hey—Chen Xiao, what's with all those people lining up in such a long queue?"

Chen Xiao looked closely and remembered that it was Ma Jian's milk tea shop. He was surprised that it was still so popular after being open for so long.

Feng Feifei knew Ma Jian. When she learned it was his shop, she exclaimed, "Oh, I never knew selling milk tea could be so profitable!"

"Han Xue has never talked to you about this when she's with you?"

Feng Feifei glanced at the milk tea shop again and whispered, "Chen Xiao, I want to drink milk tea—"

Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "Didn't I just give you some at noon?"

Feng Feifei didn't react immediately, "When are you going to give it to me— ugh, Chen Xiao, how disgusting! Forget it, forget it, I'm not drinking this milk tea."

Haha, Chen Xiao burst out laughing. He arranged for his bodyguards to queue up and buy milk tea for the two of them. Even though it was Ma Jian's shop, it wasn't appropriate to cut in line, since so many customers were already waiting; showing off privileges would really damage his reputation.

"Chen Xiao, there's a Cartier store over there, let's go in and take a look."

She didn't intend to buy anything; she was just browsing. Given President Feng's current status, these jewels were no different to her than an ordinary person wearing a beaded flower in their hair.

Pushing open the glass doors of Cartier, what greets you is not dazzling gold and glitter, but a restrained luxury—the entire space is based on deep blue velvet and ebony wood, and the lighting is not direct, but diffused from the surrounding recesses, like a museum display case, making each piece of jewelry float in a halo.

A sales assistant approached and said, "Hello, this is the Résonances collection that just arrived this spring. May I introduce it to you?"

Chen Xiao's attire was casual, while Feng Feifei wore a long, elegant, and noble star-studded dress. The saleswoman immediately concluded: the focus was on women, and men were secondary.

Beneath the central island display case, a full diamond necklace from the Cheetah series is placed, with the price tag hidden under a black onyx base—"Those who can see it will naturally understand its value."

"Feifei, which one do you like?"

A soft chuckle came from the side. Chen Xiao turned his head and saw a flamboyant girl arm in arm with an arrogant young man. They were muttering something to each other while looking at him. Clearly, the reason for their laughter was him.

He didn't know what was so funny about what he said, and he wasn't going to ask any questions. There were plenty of crazy people out there, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

However, just because he didn't cause trouble didn't mean others wouldn't bother him. Seeing a beauty like Feng Feifei, the young man found the other women around him rather bland and unappealing; he was already envious of Chen Xiao. Now, hearing from his female companion that she'd run into this guy on the subway, he became even more annoyed. How could a poor wretch like him deserve such a beauty?

"Pretentious act. Do you even know the price of the Cheetah series? Which one do you like? You talk like you can afford it?" Chen Xiao sighed. "Feifei, I forgot to check the almanac before I went out today. You don't usually run into idiots like this."

The young man's expression changed. Although Chen Xiao hadn't looked at him, he was undoubtedly referring to him. At that moment, his female companion tugged at him: "Let's not argue with a poor guy. Poor guys love to fight and argue. You're precious."

"Poor bastard?" Feng Feifei glanced at Chen Xiao and couldn't help but laugh. He didn't mind being called a poor bastard at all.

At this moment, the woman asked the young man, "Honey, I've got my eye on this blue balloon model, will you buy it for me?"

The young man glanced over and said, "Buy it. I'm always generous to my woman." He told the saleswoman to take out the "Balloon Blue" bag, then looked at Chen Xiao with a show of pride before turning to Feng Feifei, seemingly trying to find some envy in her expression for his female companion. Unfortunately, the two of them didn't even consider them human.

Feng Feifei wasn't particularly interested in the cheetah bracelet either. At their level of wealth, they no longer had much desire for such jewelry.

"Let's look at something else—"

"Not interested? Well, so many diamonds and gemstones, how tacky—"

He was speaking from the heart. He had the antique shop owner collect treasures from all over the world for him because he was tired of these worldly jewels. What others saw as gems were just like bricks to him, leaving him with no interest.

"Such a show-off. I can't afford it, I just can't afford it, and you still call it tacky," the woman said, admiring her blue Ballon Bleu watch on her wrist while making a provocative gesture.

Chen Xiao was getting annoyed. "Feifei, tell me how to shut a dog up—"

Feng Feifei knew who he was talking about, and said, "Give it a beating?"

The young man and his female companion were genuinely nervous. They were terrified if things really came to blows; they had never been in a fight before.

Chen Xiao shook his head. "Civilized people, who would lay a hand on you? If a dog bites you, you can't bite the dog back, can you?"

"What else can we do? If we don't hit it, we can scold it, but it can't understand human language."

Using a veiled insult, Feng Feifei has also picked up some bad habits. Chen Xiao laughed and said, "It's not that complicated. Just let them eat shit; they like that. While they're eating, they won't have time to bark."

"Hey—who are you cursing?" the woman demanded, annoyed.

"I'm insulting a dog, what's wrong with that?"

"I—" It feels like someone spits out a mouthful of phlegm and you're the one catching it.

Chen Xiao turned to the saleswoman who was following him and Feng Feifei and said, "Recommend a few styles—", then said to Feng Feifei, "Since we're here, let's buy a few as gifts later—"

The saleswoman was skeptical. To be honest, she didn't think Chen Xiao had much financial strength. She also heard that he was giving the gift to someone else, not to the beautiful woman in front of her. So she recommended a few basic items, such as amulet bracelets, which would start at less than 2 yuan.

Chen Xiao shook his head. The saleswoman glanced at the young couple and said, "How about taking a look at the 'Blue Balloon'?"

Just then, the young man finished paying. Hearing the saleswoman's introduction, he scoffed and said, "Buy? With what? You don't actually offer installment payments, do you?"

Chen Xiao ignored him and asked Feng Feifei, "What do you think would happen if we bought a few 'Blue Balloon' earrings and put them on our pet dogs?"

Damn it—that woman was glaring at him, what was she trying to prove, buying a "Blue Balloon" for her pet dog?
Feng Feifei thought about it seriously, "It's not suitable—"

Chen Xiao laughed; Fei Fei was quite the straight man today. "Why not?"

"That's so cheap! I feel like our pet dogs should at least wear a Rolex."

The young man quickly hid his wrist behind his back, suspecting that Feng Feifei had seen the Rolex on his wrist.

Chen Xiao nodded. "You're right, even if you're buying a Rolex, only the Submariner 'Hulk' is suitable—"

Even the sales assistant was speechless. This guy's bragging is ridiculous! He bought a green Submariner for his dog? Does your "dog" job need someone? I'm good-looking and I can bite. Do you think I'm up to the task?

After they finished shopping, the two didn't leave. They wandered around inside, determined to see what Chen Xiao and Feng Feifei could buy. If they came back empty-handed, they'd be ready to be ridiculed. How dare they indirectly call me a dog! If I don't get my revenge—what kind of dog is this good-natured, that it won't bite?

The young man's phone rang. He took it out and said, "Hello—President Ji!" Then he walked aside to answer the call.

Chen Xiao walked around the store but couldn't find anything he liked. Cartier does offer a fruit pouch customization service, but that's not possible in Jiangzhou; you need Cartier's "Magnitude" level customer qualification to customize it on Rue de la Paix in Paris.

"Feifei, why don't you pick a few? I hate picking gifts the most."

Feng Feifei shook her head, "I didn't see anything I liked, and no one would want to give it to us anyway. Let's go see a movie instead."

The saleswoman was somewhat disappointed, but not surprised. She had always thought Chen Xiao was just bragging and talking big.

Seeing Chen Xiao and Feng Feifei preparing to leave empty-handed, the woman smiled smugly. What use is being so beautiful if you can't pick a man?

"Hey, didn't you say you were making a big deal out of it? Even if you just buy one item worth 2 yuan, you'll waste half a day of the saleswoman's time."

Just then, the young man called back, "Xiaoli, great news! Great news! I've basically finalized the business deal with Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. President Kang just called to tell me this good news."

The woman immediately beamed with joy, "Darling, you're going to make a fortune again! You're amazing, collaborating with Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, which is a super big company. I don't care, I want to celebrate, I want to pick out another one."

"Hahaha, great, pick it—this deal will earn at least 500 million—"

He spoke loudly, as if deliberately speaking to Chen Xiao and Feng Feifei. (End of Chapter)
