Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 423 Investigation (5K)

Today, Mu Qingyang is a hot topic and a prominent figure in Feng Academy.

This is the first time I've made it onto the campus forum's trending topics not because of my looks.

It was because she upheld the honor of Fengyuan and prevented Chongqing University from taking all three victories away.

Moreover, no one expected that Mu Qingyang would be so powerful, both beautiful and skilled in combat; she was simply too versatile.

She and Zeng Wenjie finished the small hot pot for four people. They were a little full, but felt they could still eat more if they had some snacks.

Zeng Wenjie was quite enthusiastic, asking the students if they wanted to order more dishes, which cost them an extra few dozen yuan.

After the meal, Zeng Wenjie and Mu Qingyang went to the startup base to open the door.

Marlene moved from 208 to the first floor, leaving the office completely empty.

Zeng Wenjie plans to use it as a temporary activity room, and then bring a few more computers so that students from the school can go online and try out new games.

The startup base at Fengyuan is a place we can never abandon. Even if the company grows big, we still have to leave something behind here.

Zeng Wenjie played cards with Mu Qingyang until 10:30. After closing the door, he didn't need to see her off; she went back with her roommate.

After returning to his dormitory and turning on his computer, Zeng Wenjie received some messages.

"Mu Qingyang is so powerful, you must be having a hard time, right?" Xue Xiangyao, whose online name is "Yong Jiu", sent a message with a (smirking) emoji.

"Not bad. When we were robbed by thugs at an internet cafe, she came to our aid and beat them up," Zeng Wenjie replied.

"The boss lady seems a bit tough. Stay away from me from now on, I'm afraid I'll get beaten up." The message came from Feng Xiao, whose online name was "Yang Guo's Left Hand".

She usually has nothing to do and often browses the campus forum of Fengyuan, so she obviously saw today's post.

“It’s okay, I often hit you too, you should be used to it,” Zeng Wenjie replied.

After replying to some messages, Zeng Wenjie saw that Mu Qingyang had logged in. When she saw that Zeng Wenjie was online, she immediately sent him a message.

"I'll update 'Battle Through the Heavens' right away. You can read today's latest chapter before you rest," Mu Qingyang said.

"You have a really strong sense of responsibility," Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but comment.

“I cannot betray Tolstoy’s trust in me!” Mu Qingyang replied.

To be honest, Zeng Wenjie really wanted her to betray his trust. After all, writing in the midst of his busy schedule was truly torture for him!
His lips twitched. He figured that when he logged into his main account later, Mu Qingyang would definitely send him a message urging him to update.

Yan Xinyi also sent a message at this time: "Hello, busy person, you're still up so late!"

"Sister Yan, you haven't slept either, have you?"

“I just finished some press releases, and today I went to the provincial government to learn more about the ‘Village BA’ program. That’s when I realized I underestimated your abilities.”

"Sister Yan is joking. I just had a flash of inspiration and got lucky."

"Once can be explained as pure luck, but multiple times can only be described as modesty! Anyway, I think you are very amazing, even more amazing than some of the geniuses in our school."

This statement made Zeng Wenjie a little smug. After all, Yan Xinyi was a graduate of Peking University, a top-tier university where academic geniuses were everywhere.

"Wenjie, are you busy?" Senior student Xiao Qin, whose online name is "Seven" and whose profile picture is Pikachu, also sent a message.

"I'm busy right now, but I can still chat with you when I have some free time," Zeng Wenjie replied.

After all, it would be too beastly to take someone's first blood and then turn around and be completely ruthless.

While the term "hypocritical bitch" may sound unpleasant, imitating it occasionally can at least make one's conscience a little clearer.

Qin Yixuan immediately sent a (cheers) emoji and said, "I might be a bit busy these next few days. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm done."

"A simple 'please' sounds too formal; 'let's make an appointment' sounds better."

"OK, let's have dinner together!"

After chatting with Qin Yixuan for a few minutes, Zeng Wenjie made an excuse that he had something to do and stopped talking to her. About ten minutes later, he received another short essay from Qin Yixuan.

Most of the text is devoted to expressing one's innermost thoughts, and then shyly mentions matters of first blood, interspersed with many pleasant and lighthearted remarks.

In terms of providing emotional value, Senior Sister Qin is undoubtedly top-notch, without a doubt.

When Zeng Wenjie logged into his main account, he indeed received a message from Mu Qingyang, one urging him to update, and the other recounting the martial arts competition that day.

"What a wonderful girl, Mu. She didn't tell her boyfriend about her complicated emotional journey, but instead told her about it to her online friend."

Zeng Wenjie smiled as he read the message.

Mu Qingyang earnestly recounted her journey from her determination to compete with Yao Wei to going on stage, and finally mentioned Zeng Wenjie leading the way in cheering her on.

"I didn't want to be exposed before mainly because I was afraid she'd be ruined, but now I'm starting to fear being exposed myself!" Zeng Wenjie thought to himself.

Undoubtedly, the large account played a crucial role in successfully guiding Mu Qingyang out of her autism. After all, with the invisible barrier of the internet, Mu Qingyang was able to boldly and confidently express things and feelings that she would never normally say.

After a moment's thought, Zeng Wenjie replied to the message, saying, "That's remarkable. I'm very happy to witness your growth, dear Comrade Karenina."

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyang, who was invisible, immediately replied, "Thank you, Mr. Tolstoy!"

"You've gone invisible again! I think you've really learned to be bad!"

"I want to stay online a little longer, but I'm afraid my boyfriend will scold me. (playful)"

Zeng Wenjie was both amused and exasperated. Indeed, the lights were off now, and if he saw Mu Qingyang online, he would definitely give him a good scolding.

"When did you become so addicted to the internet?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

"I'm browsing the school forum, and hey, there are so many posts about me today, all praising me!" Mu Qingyang replied.

This message made Zeng Wenjie laugh.

After all, although Mu Qingyang seemed a little excited after winning today, he remained relatively calm overall.

did not expect……

She was overjoyed; he was actually browsing posts invisibly in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!

"You didn't create a fake account to praise yourself on the forum, did you?"

"Uh... could you please remove the camera that's attached to me?!"

Zeng Wenjie was stunned. He had only meant it as a joke, but it had hit the nail on the head? What the hell…

Is Mutombo trying to emulate Kevin Durant by creating a smurf account and becoming a keyboard warrior on the campus forum? It's a bit unbelievable!
"I use it to praise my boyfriend, and occasionally to praise myself," Mu Qingyang said.

Then, Zeng Wenjie no longer found it strange; on the contrary, he felt great!

After chatting for a while, Mu Qingyang finally logged off, urging for an update before doing so.

"Write more whenever you have free time, and save up five million in royalties as soon as possible. Then you won't have to go to work anymore, and you can focus on writing novels."

Zeng Wenjie's lips twitched. He had originally wanted to go to sleep, but he could only take his laptop to bed.

Then, the three guys who were playing cards in room 626 came back. It wasn't that they didn't want to play anymore, but their charging lamp and flashlight had run out of power, so they had to come back.

Xu Chuan saw Zeng Wenjie still using his computer in bed and exclaimed, "Holy crap, sending out flights in the middle of the night? Are you out of your mind?!"

Zeng Wenjie sneered and said, "Do you think I'm like you, needing to take off on my own?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan lowered his head like a wilted eggplant, feeling ashamed. His reputation was ruined, and finding a girlfriend would be too difficult.

……

After Zhuang Aimin contacted the Central Plains Province, Zeng Wenjie took Feng Xiao to the airport to meet Xue Lu.

Xue Lu didn't know Feng Xiao, so he said, "President Zeng, please introduce him."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Our president of Marlenia is Ms. Feng Xiao."

Feng Xiao shook hands with Xue Lu and said, "Hello, Mr. Xue, I've heard so much about you."

Xue Lu then smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, you're too kind. It's an honor to travel with you."

At this moment, Feng Xiao was dressed in a high-end women's suit, looking elegant and sophisticated. Her makeup was also exceptionally exquisite. Coupled with the excellent temperament cultivated by her high-ranking family, even Xue Lu, a seasoned veteran who had seen countless women, was a little confused.

He was well aware that Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao's relationship was definitely not ordinary. But he couldn't help but wonder how Zeng Wenjie could tame a woman like Feng Xiao, who clearly wasn't simple at all? Besides, weren't there quite a significant age difference between the two of them?
Feng Xiao is almost ten years older than Zeng Wenjie, while Zeng Mi is a full twelve years older than him.

But for Zeng Wenjie, age doesn't seem to be a problem. Unlike those young people who only know how to stare at the school's beauties, his aesthetic vision is too narrow.

I boarded through the VIP channel and took my seat in first class.

To my shame, this was Zeng Wenjie's first time flying first class.

Although he easily earned millions a year in his previous life, he still couldn't bear to spend so much money to buy a first-class ticket when flying.

However, this kind of treatment in first class was commonplace for Feng Xiao and nothing to be surprised about.

She used to even frequently travel on other people's private jets, where the service was much better.

“My senior brother has made the arrangements for us. Once we arrive there, the investment promotion office will receive us, and they will introduce us to Mr. Yu from DL,” Zeng Wenjie said to Xue Lu.

"Yes, Mr. Zeng," Xue Lu said with a smile.

With this matter resolved, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least no longer worried that the 80 million he had invested would be completely wasted.

If the issues in Century City are not resolved as soon as possible, it will be a major blow to him.

This turmoil has already caused him heavy losses in his investments in car dealerships, hotels, nightclubs, etc. If he continues to bleed money because of Century City, he really can't hold on any longer!
Xue Lu, who came from an unorthodox background, was flexible and adaptable. Although Zeng Wenjie was very young, he still thought he was worth currying favor with.

Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao were sitting in the same row, so the way people looked at him became a little strange.

Humans are very interested in gossip.

With Feng Xiao's appearance, and Zeng Wenjie sitting next to her, it really made people have some wild thoughts, as if he were a gigolo being kept by her.

However, Feng Xiao is a spendthrift; no matter how much salary she receives each month, she can spend it all and still has to ask Zeng Wenjie for money from time to time.

The flamboyant Zeng is quite happy to be looked at with such strange eyes and gossipy thoughts. Doesn't this just prove that his looks are on par with Daniel Wu?
Otherwise, why would a woman like Feng Xiao, who looks like a high-quality rich woman, be willing to support him?
When outsiders are around, Feng Xiao is very restrained when dealing with Zeng Wenjie, always acting in a businesslike manner.

She is very smart.

She knew that her actions would evoke feelings of shame and heartache in Zeng Wenjie.

Although it might sound harsh to say it too bluntly, this is precisely the little trick necessary to maintain a relationship in the long run.

"After our inspection tour of Zhongyuan Province, we'll take another trip to Xishu Province," Zeng Wenjie said to Feng Xiao with a smile.

"Mm." Feng Xiao nodded slightly.

She didn't know what Zeng Wenjie was going to Xishu Province to investigate, and he wouldn't say when asked, but she would definitely find out when she got there.

Xue Lu, with his sharp ears, couldn't help but ask, "Has President Zeng discovered some new business opportunity?"

Zeng Wenjie then said, "I will definitely communicate with President Xue if I make any discoveries! I have little capital right now, and I need your investment to make money."

Xue Lu felt a little disappointed when he saw that he was unwilling to talk about it.

After overhearing their conversation, the flight attendants couldn't help but give Zeng Wenjie a second look, somewhat surprised.

They could obviously tell that Xue Lu was an extremely wealthy man, but this young man... they wondered if he had even graduated from university yet.
One of the flight attendants had a sharp eye and recognized Zeng Wenjie. She pulled her colleague aside and they whispered among themselves.

Then, feeling the frequent glances directed at him, Zeng Wenjie felt a sense of satisfaction.

Upon arrival in Central China, I saw people holding signs to greet me at the arrival gate.

Zeng Wenjie and his team made contact with the Investment Promotion Office of Zhongyuan Province. The leader was named Lu Dan, who held a high position but was very enthusiastic.

After introducing themselves, they got into a business car after leaving the airport.

"We'll head to Xudu now. President Yu is already waiting for you distinguished guests there," Lu Dan said with a smile, sitting in the passenger seat.

He was a little curious. It seemed that both Feng Xiao and Xue Lu, in their small team, were following the lead of the youngest member, Zeng Wenjie!

Although Zeng Wenjie has gained fame over the past year, he is most famous in the Chongshan area, and secondly in the State Administration of Radio and Television circles. In other places, he is still relatively unknown.

Lu Dan was very talkative and soon figured out Zeng Wenjie's background, which shocked him.

no way……

The identity of a college student is nothing special, but Zeng Wenjie is the only college student in the country who has achieved so much in his freshman year. In addition, he also has a prestigious award such as one of the top ten outstanding youths in the province. He is extremely famous.

Feng Xiao was very quiet and didn't say a word the whole way, her eyes mostly looking out the window.

She would only turn around when Zeng Wenjie talked about topics that interested her.

The van drove directly to the entrance of a large hotel in Xudu.

Lu Dan called President Yu when he was almost there.

When I arrived, Mr. Yu was standing at the door waiting for me, dressed quite formally.

There were also reporters nearby, clearly indicating that the officials of Zhongyuan Province were not willing to miss this opportunity to promote local businesses.

It's something to be proud of that entrepreneurs from other provinces come to our province to learn from General Manager Yu!

"Mr. Yu, it's been a long time! Let me introduce you to three distinguished guests from Chongshan..." Lu Dan shook hands with Mr. Yu and then introduced them one by one.

Mr. Yu gives people a kind and honest impression, especially when he smiles, he appears quite simple and honest.

He himself is an extremely simple and honest person; otherwise, his employees wouldn't all praise him, and his supermarket wouldn't have become the most well-known brand in the country.

When General Manager Yu saw the young Zeng Wenjie, he was clearly taken aback.

“This is Mr. Zeng Wenjie, who is still a college student. He started his business as soon as he entered university, and he has achieved remarkable results! His snack shop is very famous in Fengzhou. He also runs a light luxury brand and has a joint game development partnership with Tencent…” Lu Dan said.

"A hero emerges from among the young, truly remarkable! Mr. Zeng, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Mr. Yu said, shaking hands with Zeng Wenjie.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Mr. Yu is a role model for us to learn from on this trip. We hope that Mr. Yu will not hesitate to give us his guidance when the time comes."

Mr. Yu smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to offer any advice. These are just my humble opinions, and I hope they won't make me a laughingstock in front of the three bosses."

Lu Dan said, “Everyone, please don’t stand at the door blocking the way for other guests. Let’s go to the hotel’s private room to eat and chat. Our three distinguished guests from Chongshan should also try our Central Plains Province’s specialties.”

Mr. Yu said, "Yes, yes, I'm so happy that I forgot all about hospitality! Please come in."

The group entered the hotel's private room, and the reporter followed with a camera.

Then, everyone started exchanging pleasantries.

After eating something and drinking a couple of glasses of wine, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

That's how Chinese people are; they're more talkative when there's alcohol involved.

"Mr. Yu, I've long admired you. I've come here to learn about your company's corporate culture and business philosophy! I really hope you won't hesitate to share your knowledge!" Zeng Wenjie said warmly, shaking Mr. Yu's hand.

"Mr. Zeng, you're too kind. I'm very happy that you've approved of my approach!" Mr. Yu said with a smile.

Zeng Wenjie had a very good impression of DL. They treated their employees well and their customers well. They were very particular about their products, and any products that could harm one's health would never appear in their supermarkets.

Even when selling clothes, the purchase price is clearly marked.

Mr. Yu seemed to be doing business with the same mindset as a great man. At first, everyone laughed at him for being too honest and that he wouldn't make money that way.

However, it is precisely through such simple methods that they have grown stronger step by step, opening more and more branches, doing better and better business, and becoming more and more famous.

In the era of online influencers, many customers have come from afar specifically to experience a unique shopping experience at DL Supermarket.

Feng Xiao glanced at Zeng Wenjie twice, finding it unusual that this guy wasn't genuinely supporting others like this.

Since this is our first meeting, it's best not to have too much to say about things we don't know well.

Coupled with the fatigue of the journey, after eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they agreed on a time to go to DL for inspection the next day and then parted ways.

Lu Dan took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Zeng Wenjie, saying, "President Zeng, our Central Plains Province treats entrepreneurs from other places very well. You can consider investing here."

Zeng Wenjie nodded earnestly and said, "Thank you, Director Lu. I will definitely come if there is a suitable opportunity."

Lu Dan said, "You've come all this way today, and it must be tiring. Let's not chat any longer. Get some rest, and see you tomorrow."
