Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 373 Backfires (4K)

Zeng Wenjie was already a controversial figure in Fengyuan, and this post was definitely top-notch in its ability to incite conflict.

Moreover, his personal involvement immediately added a red "[hot]" indicator to the post, causing a surge in replies.

The poster thought Zeng Wenjie's low-class and foul language would get the righteous people on the campus forum to help her fight back, but instead, some scoundrel copied Zeng Wenjie and posted "Your mother is dead".

Then, people started lining up to reply, forming an array, all saying the same thing—"Your mother is dead."

Zeng Wenjie has never been one to tolerate idiots; he simply enjoys their foul mouths.

Want to use a punch that takes twenty years of internal energy to defeat him? He won't take the hit; he'll just play the offense without any defense.

The original poster was completely overwhelmed by the subsequent posts, never expecting that the students from Fengyuan University would be so low-class, actually imitating Zeng Wenjie's swearing! Even when her friend stood up to retaliate, she received the same four-word reply.

Director Wang handed a stack of meal cards to Zeng Wenjie, saying, "Wenjie, these are meal cards prepared by Principal Gao for everyone. You can use them in the faculty and staff canteen. From now on, you can eat on campus."

Zeng Wenjie found it very convenient, thanked him profusely, accepted it, and then distributed it to his employees.

"Looks like you didn't succeed yesterday?"

Feng Xiao walked to Zeng Wenjie's side and asked with a smile.

"It's not that easy, but she's already broken down."

Zeng Wenjie glanced at Feng Xiao and responded with a relaxed expression.

Feng Xiao clicked his tongue, thinking that Zeng Wenjie was really good at manipulating people's hearts, and this was a high-level game.

Dealing with Zeng Mi is a high-level game, isn't it? One wrong move and you'll be utterly destroyed.

Feng Xiao said, "Shall we go find her for drinks again today?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "You can go, I won't go. I need to cool off for a few days first."

Feng Xiao said with a half-smile, "I'll give you a helping hand, so remember to catch it."

Zeng Wenjie nodded repeatedly and said, "If I receive the assist, I will definitely take a powerful shot."

Feng Xiao couldn't help but laugh and punch him on the shoulder. It was really hard to imagine how a college student could drive so fast.

While Zeng Wenjie was chatting and laughing with Feng Xiao, he received a call from Ye Yixuan.

"Sister Xuan, what advice do you have?" Zeng Wenjie asked with a grin.

"Where did you get your information from?" Ye Yixuan asked directly.

Last night, Principal Gao visited Zhuang Aimin and relayed all the information Zeng Wenjie had given him.

Zhuang Aimin found it absurd, but still arranged for a trusted person to investigate. Even with only a preliminary investigation, some clues were discovered.

Several seemingly normal companies are actually just empty shells, and there are some key aspects that are quite intriguing.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Sister Xuan, don't worry about that for now. Is my information accurate?"

Ye Yixuan then said, "If it weren't true, I wouldn't have called you to ask."

Zeng Wenjie immediately breathed a sigh of relief. History had indeed unfolded exactly as he knew, without any changes.

“A man named Luo Xin approached me, who likely had a stockpile of illegally obtained gold and wanted to use my gold mine and gold shop to help him liquidate it. I refused, and a conflict ensued, which escalated quite a bit.”

Zeng Wenjie sighed and said slowly, "If my senior brother is transferred, I will most likely lose my business."

After listening, Ye Yixuan sighed and said softly, "When you're in the world, you're not always in control of your own destiny. Once your superiors give you opportunities and a platform, it's destined that you'll find it hard to remain uninvolved in these matters..."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I have been careful enough, and I have not participated in any illegal or irregular projects during this period."

Ye Yixuan comforted her, saying, "You are still young, so those people will look down on you, think you are easy to fool and control, and are more likely to be blinded by huge profits."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Then, will the help I offer be able to help you resolve your current predicament, senior brother?"

Ye Yixuan took a deep breath and said, "It's feasible. These are exactly the clues I've been searching for, all to deliver a fatal blow to our opponent. If it succeeds, you'll deserve the greatest credit!"

After hearing Ye Yixuan's words, Zeng Wenjie was completely relieved.

We should turn Zeng Mice around. First, it will reassure Zhuang Aimin and prevent any misunderstandings. Second, it will avoid some extreme retaliation.

"I'm glad I can help. My senior brother has taken such good care of me, and I'm happy to be able to help him solve his problems!" Zeng Wenjie said.

"I'll go take care of things now, and I'll contact you again when I'm done," Ye Yixuan said.

Things took a turn for the better, which lifted her spirits. Otherwise, with Zhuang Aimin's transfer, all her plans would have been in vain, and her future would have been unpredictable.

Feng Xiao listened to his conversation with Ye Yixuan the whole time. After he finished the call, she couldn't help but ask, "So, I'm very curious, how did you get the information that Zhuang Aimin and Ye Yixuan couldn't find?"

Zeng Wenjie glared at her and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Shouldn't you understand this principle better than I do?"

Feng Xiao chuckled and said, "Fine, don't tell me then!"

Even so, Feng Xiao was still very puzzled, because such information that could turn the tide must be very well hidden. When a person reaches such a high position, it is impossible for them to leave obvious weaknesses for their opponents to exploit.

Zeng Wenjie was well aware that Feng Xiao was not someone who could be easily fooled; she had been exposed to many of the tricks and methods used in the government since she was a child.

Talking too much in front of her is a mistake in itself; the more you talk, the more wrong you become.

Therefore, the best approach is to say nothing and let her ponder the mystery herself.

Fortunately, Feng Xiao is now a very insightful woman, and she doesn't pry into things she's curious about.

Most importantly, even if he doesn't say anything, there won't be any rift between them.

"You can subtly hint to Zeng Mi today that my senior brother will turn the tables. Try to be as discreet as possible. Whether she believes it or not is up to her," Zeng Wenjie sighed and said.

Each step was taken with extreme caution, like walking on thin ice.

That evening, Feng Xiao took the initiative to contact Zeng Mi and said that she had just bought a case of Lafite and wanted to invite her to taste it together.

Zeng Mi laughed and said, "Why don't you come find me? It's not convenient for me to leave the teahouse."

Feng Xiao said, "Okay, will bringing two bottles be enough?"

Zeng Mi then said, "Two bottles are about right. Drinking too much will make you feel unwell."

Feng Xiao then took two bottles of wine and asked Zeng Wenjie to drive her to the Ya She Tea House.

"This is really a treat to eat and drink on public funds. Remember to refill my wine cabinet later," Feng Xiao said with a smile, holding two bottles of Lafite wine.

“Filling the wine cabinet isn’t enough, you have to fill it too!” Zeng Wenjie said.

Feng Xiao gave him a charmingly disdainful look, got out of the car, and headed towards the teahouse.

The teahouse had already closed, but Zeng Mi was still there. Today, she was wearing a black cheongsam with blue and white porcelain patterns, exuding a unique classical Eastern beauty—gentle, dignified, and elegant. Upon seeing Zeng Mi in her cheongsam, Feng Xiao couldn't help but curse Zeng Wenjie inwardly for being a liar.

Last time, she also wore a cheongsam and asked Zeng Wenjie how he compared to Zeng Mi. This guy said the word "utterly crushing" to her.

However, when Feng Xiao actually saw Zeng Mi wearing a cheongsam today, he admitted that he was not as good as her.

It's not that she's less beautiful or less elegant than Zeng Mi, but when it comes to wearing a cheongsam, Zeng Mi is at the top level, a top-tier talent.

Feng Xiao is better suited to a mature and sexy style of dressing.

"Wow, Sister Zeng Mi, you look so beautiful in a cheongsam! I think even those famous female celebrities aren't as pretty as you!" Feng Xiao laughed.

"Really? If you also like cheongsams, I can send you one later." Zeng Mi turned to look at her and said with a smile.

Feng Xiao waved the two bottles of red wine in her hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not a big fan of cheongsams. I prefer black stockings and bodycon skirts that can seduce men."

Zeng Mi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, saying, "These two bottles of wine of yours aren't cheap!"

Feng Xiao said, "What kind of wine you drink depends on who you're with. Sister Zeng Mi, you're perfect for it! Come on, let's have a couple of drinks."

Zeng Mi led Feng Xiao into the private room and then took out a wine glass.

Feng Xiao gracefully uncorked the bottle and poured the wine, telling Zeng Mi about the history of Château Lafite Rothschild and its winemaking process as he poured.

After the wine had sobered up, Feng Xiao elegantly held the wine glass and gently swirled it, then began to talk about some wine tasting knowledge.

That kind of elegant and noble temperament cannot be faked, and Zeng Mi's temperament in this regard is somewhat affected. Compared with Feng Xiao, who comes from a truly wealthy and powerful family, the difference is obvious.

Feng Xiao and Zeng Mi chatted about all sorts of things, and before they knew it, it was already ten o'clock.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard outside the door.

The door to the private room was pushed open, revealing a simply dressed, slightly overweight, middle-aged man wearing rimless glasses.

Zeng Mi stood up and said, "Sir."

She knew that Feng Xiao and Zeng Wenjie had a very close relationship, and she also knew that the college student had some ulterior motives. Feng Xiao's visit today was also ill-intentioned.

She knew the man would be coming today, so instead of having a drink with Feng Xiao, she asked him to come to the teahouse to find her.

Zeng Mi, whose conscience was not yet dead, did not want Zeng Wenjie's genius to fall, but she felt that Zeng Wenjie was still too presumptuous, especially his repeated provocations last night, which made her break down one after another.

Therefore, she wanted to use this opportunity to give Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao a warning.

“I’m having drinks with friends,” Zeng Mi said to the man with a smile.

The man's expression was calm, with a smile on his lips. He nodded slightly, then looked at Feng Xiao and said, "Welcome. I rarely see Zeng Mi inviting friends to the teahouse for drinks."

Feng Xiao stood up and said, "Hello."

The man looked at Feng Xiao and felt that her face seemed to be getting more and more familiar...

A moment later, his face showed a mixture of surprise, astonishment, and doubt, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you Miss Feng?"

Feng Xiao was taken aback and asked, "You know me?"

The man nodded and said with a sigh, "Back then, I was fortunate enough to visit Miss Feng's home a few times with my superiors. I never imagined that so many years would have passed and everything would have changed so much."

The man knew Feng Xiao, but Feng Xiao had no recollection of him.

She smiled helplessly and said, "Please don't bring up old stories, lest you hurt people's feelings."

This time, Zeng Mi was shocked, surprised, and bewildered. She truly hadn't expected that the two were actually old acquaintances! Moreover, the man had even visited Feng Xiao's home back then...

It turns out that Feng Xiao really is a celestial being who descended to earth from the heavens!

"How are you doing, Miss Feng?" the man asked.

"It's alright, I'm quite satisfied with my life now, thank you for your concern." Feng Xiao responded very naturally, and took the initiative to extend her right hand to shake hands with him.

As Zeng Mi watched Feng Xiao calmly and casually exchanging pleasantries with the other party, a myriad of emotions surged within her.

After a few more brief words, Feng Xiao glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye, Sister Zeng Mi!"

Zeng Mi nodded and smiled, "I'll see you off."

Feng Xiao waved his hand and said, "No need, someone will pick me up. You can talk about business."

After saying this, Feng Xiao turned and left.

The man looked at Zeng Mi, frowned, and asked, "How do you know her?!"

Zeng Mi said, "It was just a coincidence. By the way... do you know her, sir?"

The man revealed Feng Xiao's background. When Zeng Mi heard the name of Feng Xiao's father, her pupils dilated in shock, and her face was filled with disbelief.

The man glanced at the wine on the table and said, "The wine she brought?"

Zeng Mi nodded, and the man laughed, "It seems that Miss Feng is not having a good time. I remember she used to only drink Romanée-Conti."

Zeng Mi found it a bit difficult to comment, as these two bottles of Lafite were not cheap...

"Should I distance myself from her?" Zeng Mi asked cautiously.

"No need, normal interactions are fine." The man waved his hand dismissively and said, "You should also make more outstanding friends."

Zeng Mi lowered her head and smiled bitterly, unable to respond.

While Feng Xiao was drinking, she subtly hinted that the person in front of her might have a mishap, but she just smiled dismissively and let it go.

But now that she had learned more about Feng Xiao's background, Zeng Mi felt a little uneasy when she recalled what Feng Xiao had just said.

After getting into Zeng Wenjie's Audi, Feng Xiao laughed and said to Zeng Wenjie, "She's playing tricks on me."

Zeng Wenjie asked, "What happened?"

Feng Xiao then said, "That person happened to be coming to see her, and she probably intended to use him to intimidate us. But guess what? That person actually knew me and had once come to my house to curry favor with me."

Zeng Wenjie was taken aback upon hearing this, and secretly grinned, thinking that it was fortunate he hadn't gone to the teahouse today, otherwise, he didn't know what kind of chain reaction would have occurred.
However, if he had indicated that he wanted to go, Zeng Mi would probably have refused and prevented the meeting from taking place.

"What a coincidence..." Zeng Wenjie clicked his tongue and commented.

"This is adding fuel to the fire," Feng Xiao said with a half-smile.

Zeng Mi's cunning schemes not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but backfired.

She probably won't be able to sleep tonight.
