Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 318 Wealth and Prosperity Depend on Oneself

Zeng Mi opened the car door, turned around and smiled at Zeng Wenjie.

"Little brother, what we discussed today is a secret between the two of us. Don't tell Yixuan!"

Zeng Mi blinked, her tone gentle.

Zeng Wenjie nodded, hailed a taxi, and said, "I understand, Sister Zeng Mi."

Then, he got into his car and left.

Zeng Mi felt that Zeng Wenjie was indeed a young man who deserved Ye Yixuan's high regard; he truly possessed a maturity and composure that ordinary men did not have.

The terms she offered were so generous that the huge profits were practically within Zeng Wenjie's grasp, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he said he needed to go back and think about it.

However, Zeng Mi still didn't think Zeng Wenjie would refuse, because there were very few people in the world who could refuse such benefits.

Merchants are, after all, merchants. As the great philosophers have concluded, if there is a 300 percent profit, they will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

Moreover, Zeng Wenjie is still so young.

Zeng Wenjie got off the bus at the university town and immediately called Ye Yixuan.

"You'd better give me a reason to bother me!" Ye Yixuan's icy voice came, a stark contrast to Zeng Mi's gentleness.

"I just took a taxi back from the Ya She Tea House." Zeng Wenjie sat down at the entrance of the snack shop and lit a cigarette.

Ye Yixuan was taken aback and asked, "Zeng Mi is looking for you?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Yes, and they even said they wanted to invest in me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yixuan coldly replied, "You agreed?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "How could I dare to agree to something like this so easily? However, I'd like to know who's behind Sister Zeng Mi."

Ye Yixuan was silent for a moment, then said, "It's Luo Hui."

Zeng Wenjie was stunned. Damn it, thank goodness he didn't agree, otherwise he would have been heading straight for his own death!

"If I had known, I wouldn't have asked you to come with me to the elegant residence for drinks," Ye Yixuan sighed.

"It's alright, Sister Xuan! This little temptation has no effect on me," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Ye Yixuan said, "Well... it's good that you didn't agree."

Zeng Mi told Zeng Wenjie not to tell Ye Yixuan about this, but who knew that this college student would be so untrustworthy, turning around and selling her out, directly gaining Ye Yixuan's favor.

After hanging up the phone with Ye Yixuan, I checked the time and, wow, the dorms were all closed.

Left with no other option, they had to stay at Feng Xiao's house for the night.

After opening the door, he saw Feng Xiao sitting in front of the computer, turning her head and looking at him with a surprised expression, clearly not expecting him to come at this time.

"What kind of look is that? Don't you know how to welcome someone?" Zeng Wenjie said, his breath reeking of alcohol.

"You drank quite a bit, went to karaoke?" Feng Xiao stood up, walked to the door and helped him take off his coat and shoes.

Zeng Wenjie said, "What do you mean by 'touch and sing'? You think too badly of our school leaders! After I finished eating, I went to a teahouse and had some drinks with a beautiful woman."

Feng Xiao then asked, "Ye Yixuan?"

Zeng Wenjie asked in surprise, "Why do you think it would be her?"

Feng Xiao said, "Going to a teahouse for drinks seems to suit Ye Yixuan's style."

Zeng Wenjie was both amused and exasperated; his guess was spot on!

"It's not Ye Yixuan, but a friend of hers. Let me tell you about the situation..."

Zeng Wenjie asked Feng Xiao to pour him a glass of hot water, then sat down on the sofa and told her about his experiences that day.

Feng Xiao raised her eyebrows repeatedly upon hearing this and said, "So she wants you to be her front man and wash the clothes for her! But how could a small teahouse owner have so much money? Obviously, she has someone backing her up."

Zeng Wenjie nodded and continued. Feng Xiao clicked her tongue and said, "So, you want to ask for my advice?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Of course, you are my strategist."

Feng Xiao laughed and said, "If you want to make money, achieve success, and rise quickly, then my advice is to accept her invitation; but to be honest, I don't really want you to do this kind of thing, because it's hard for me to find another college student as outstanding as you to date a younger woman."

Zeng Wenjie stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said, "If I refuse, won't the people behind her get angry and think I'm ungrateful, and then try to trip me up?"

Feng Xiao gave him a deep look and said, "That's hard to say. You can't see into someone's heart. Who knows what they might be thinking? But you have Zhuang Aimin protecting you, so you don't need to worry too much. Even if they try to trip you up, they won't go too far."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Then I'll agree to her request!"

Feng Xiao's face darkened instantly, and she turned around and dragged her suitcase out from under the bed.

"What?"

"I'm packing my bags and running away overnight. I don't want to go through that kind of torture again," Feng Xiao said coldly.

Zeng Wenjie leaned back on the sofa, looking at her with a half-smile.

Feng Xiaocai quickly came to his senses after stuffing in two pieces of clothing. He glared at Zeng Wenjie, took the clothes out again, and stuffed the suitcase back under the bed.

"Not running away anymore?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

"You're kidding me, don't think I can't see through you," Feng Xiao said.

"Oh, you figured it out but you still acted like it was real?" Zeng Wenjie said.

"I was just teasing you." Feng Xiao smiled and turned to sit on the edge of the bed, crossing her long, fair legs with a teasing look on her face.

Zeng Wenjie asked, "How do you know I definitely won't agree?"

Feng Xiao said, "I knew you wouldn't agree from the moment you told me about this."

Zeng Wenjie asked, "Why?"

Feng Xiao then said, "You are a person who makes decisions on your own. You actually have more ideas than anyone else. Once you decide to do something, it is very difficult to change your mind even if someone tries to persuade you."

"Furthermore, I can tell that you are a timid person who won't take risks."

Zeng Wenjie immediately retorted angrily, "I'm a coward, why would I fight for you?!"

Feng Xiao said calmly, "I'm talking about the other aspect: courage. You don't have the guts to do things that might land you in jail."

Zeng Wenjie's expression immediately changed, and he said, "You have a really good eye for people!"

Feng Xiao said with a half-smile, "If I couldn't see through your character, would I let you sleep with me? I don't want to spend the rest of my life wandering and unable to eat or sleep."

Zeng Wenjie clicked his tongue. Good heavens, is this what it means to have truly experienced rebirth? It's terrifying!

Zeng Wenjie started composing a text message and sent it directly to Zeng Mi.

"Sister Zeng Mi, I'm sorry, but after thinking about it for a long time, I've decided to decline your invitation and investment."

"Little brother, isn't your decision too hasty? Think about it again?"

"No need. I've thought it through and I won't change my mind."

Do you know how much wealth and honor you are rejecting?

"I can earn wealth and honor with my own hands, but life is only once, and I will not do anything illegal."

The text message chat ended there, and Zeng Mi did not send any more messages.

However, she certainly couldn't understand how Zeng Wenjie, a young man, could resist such a temptation.
She couldn't help but think of her own life. If the accident hadn't happened back then, or even if the accident had, she would have relied on her own abilities to work hard and get into Peking University together with Ye Yixuan.

So, what will my life be like?

Feng Xiao took Zeng Wenjie's phone and glanced at the text message conversation. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "As expected of my boss, he speaks with such domineering confidence. Wealth and honor are earned through one's own hard work."
