My attempt to show off during Chinese New Year shocked the entire nation.

"We're here. This is the Qingjiang Hotel." Lin Yue pointed ahead.

Li Feng hummed in agreement, his gaze falling on the building with its gilded signboard.

This is the place where I hold a 30% stake. It has an impressive exterior, and the fountain at the entrance is rising and falling in sync with the music.

A man in a suit was standing at the entrance of the parking lot, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Li Feng thought he looked familiar, but couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

As the car slowly approached, the other person turned around, and that somewhat arrogant face became clear.

"Class monitor, Cui Da." Li Feng recognized him; he was the class monitor in high school, who always liked to put on airs.

Lin Yue had already rolled down the car window and greeted him with a smile: "Class Monitor."

Cui Da was taken aback at first, then smiled warmly: "Lin Yue! Why did you take a taxi? You should have said so earlier. I would have driven my Audi to pick you up, which would have been much more convenient."

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hand, "Class monitor, I didn't take a taxi, I came with Li Feng."

Cui Da then bent down, his gaze passing over the passenger seat, and finally saw Li Feng in the driver's seat.

The enthusiasm on his face faded a bit, and he forced a smile: "Hey, Li Feng, don't get me wrong. This car looks pretty ordinary to me. I thought it was a ride-hailing car."

Li Feng's temple twitched. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Cui Da wave his hand impatiently.

"Hurry up and drive in, don't block the entrance."

Li Feng didn't say anything, put the car back in gear, and slowly moved it into the parking lot.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Cui Da suddenly shouted again, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Slow down! There are BMWs and Mercedes parked inside, and even a Porsche. If you scratch or dent your BYD, you'll probably have to sell the car to pay for it. Don't embarrass your classmates."

The moment those words were spoken, the air in the car froze.

Lin Yue frowned, about to say something for Li Feng, but Li Feng held her hand down.

With the accelerator pedal pressed, the BYD Qin smoothly drove through the entrance.

In the rearview mirror, Cui Da was still standing there, talking to the doorman next to him. Judging from his expression, he was probably teasing his car.

"Why is Cui Da still the same as before?" Lin Yue couldn't help but mutter, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

Li Feng smiled but didn't reply.

He thought that Cui Da's words might come true soon.

However, the one who needs to worry about "not being able to afford to pay" may not be him.

As the car turned a corner, Li Feng spotted a parking space in the corner. Just as he was about to park there, he noticed a shiny Porsche 911 parked next to an empty space not far away.

He raised an eyebrow and parked the BYD Qin right next to the Porsche, the car not too far away, just enough to open the door.

Lin Yue looked at the Porsche, then at Li Feng's BYD.

"Being so close to the Porsche, what if..."

"It's okay." Li Feng turned off the engine and unbuckled his seatbelt. "If it really scratches, I can afford to pay for it."

His tone was calm, but Lin Yue knew that Li Feng wasn't bragging.

Putting aside whether the news about Li Feng taking over the cannery is true or not, the one million yuan that Li Feng deposited in the bank the day before yesterday is enough.

The two got out of the car and were about to walk into the restaurant together when Cui Da called them back.

"Li Feng, wait!"

"What's wrong, Squad Leader Cui?" Li Feng turned around, his tone somewhat distant.

The old classmate bond had been almost completely worn away by Cui Da's repeated disdain.

Cui Da felt a little embarrassed by being called "Squad Leader Cui," so he coughed twice before putting on a matter-of-fact expression.

"Li Feng, there are still a few classmates who haven't arrived yet. Could you go downstairs and meet them so they don't get lost?"

"No way." Li Feng refused without even thinking, his eyes clear. "This is your job as class monitor, I don't want to take your job away from you."

He deliberately emphasized the words "squad leader," clearly indicating that he wasn't buying Cui Da's act.

Cui Da's face flushed. He hadn't expected Li Feng to be so disrespectful. His eyes darted around, and he came up with a lame excuse.

"What's wrong with it? It's just that I'm only wearing a pair of pants today. Look at this freezing winter month, it's so cold standing outside, I really can't stand it."

As he spoke, he deliberately shook his leg, pretending to be very cold.

"Oh? Feeling cold? That's unfortunate. I'm also dressed lightly, so I'm afraid I can't help you." Li Feng said, deliberately zipping up his down jacket.

Cui Da's face froze instantly; he hadn't expected Li Feng to be so disrespectful.

Lin Yue, who was standing to the side, also couldn't stand Cui Da's arrogant attitude, but she didn't expect that Li Feng would shut him up with just a few words.

Just then, a black Volkswagen sedan slowly drove up. The body was somewhat worn, indicating that it had been driven for quite some time.

The car window rolled down, revealing Wang Pengfei's somewhat tired face. He saw the people at the door and called out, "Why don't you go inside in this cold weather?"

"Wang Pengfei?" Lin Yue recognized him first and waved with a smile.

Li Feng nodded to him as a greeting.

Cui Da's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, his face beaming with an exceptionally warm smile.

"Secretary Wang! You've finally arrived!"

Upon hearing the title "Secretary Wang," Wang Pengfei's smile froze, and a hint of unease flashed in his eyes. However, he didn't say anything more, only saying, "I'll stop the car first."

As he spoke, he rolled up the car window and turned the steering wheel to look for an empty space.

The parking lot was already full. He drove around halfway and then drove back. When he rolled down the window, he had a helpless look on his face.

"There are no parking spaces!"

"Secretary Wang, parking is easy to find!"

Cui Da immediately chimed in, his obsequiousness barely concealed, before abruptly turning to look at Li Feng, his face instantly darkening.

"Li Feng, move your ride-hailing car further away! Can't you see that even Secretary Wang has nowhere to park? You're just hogging the space, move it now!"

Wang Pengfei sat in the car, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly. He coughed lightly, his voice low but clear enough.

"Cui Da, you don't need to call me Secretary Wang, just call me Wang Pengfei."

Cui Da was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Wang Pengfei to say that, but he quickly replied, "Okay, Pengfei."

He agreed verbally, but his eyes still urged Li Feng to move the car.

Li Feng frowned, his eyes turning cold: "Cui Da, you're taking up space with your car, why don't you move it out to make room?"

Cui Da stiffened his neck, his tone full of arrogance, "Why? Just because I drive an Audi and you drive a BYD! They're not in the same league, how can you compare?"

That expression made it seem like he was showing off some amazing treasure, and the atmosphere between the two was about to become tense.

Just then, the sound of an engine came from not far away, and a car slowly drove away from the parking space.

Wang Pengfei reacted quickly, turning the steering wheel and stopping precisely in the empty space.

"Alright, I've stopped." Wang Pengfei calmly eased the tension. "It's cold outside, let's all go inside, don't stand here."

His words seemed to offer both sides a way out. Cui Da pursed his lips, stopped arguing, and just glared at Li Feng before turning and walking into the restaurant.

Li Feng didn't argue with him, but nodded to Wang Pengfei and followed along with Lin Yue.
