Realizing that he hadn't been back to Lijia Village for several days, Li Feng took out his phone and called a designated driver.

I'm free this afternoon anyway, so I'll go back.

The driver said it would take a few more minutes, so he turned around and went back to the hotel lobby, intending to rest on the sofa for a while.

As soon as he entered the lobby, manager Wang Nan spotted him and quickly came out from behind the bar to greet him.

"Mr. Li, are you leaving already? I see you've had quite a bit to drink. Would you like to book a room upstairs for a while? The suite on the top floor has a great view and is quiet."

Li Feng waved his hand, "I'm fine, no need. By the way, did Cui Shiqiang's table pay the bill?"

Wang Nan's smile vanished instantly. She shook her head, her tone full of bitterness.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, Cui Shiqiang has never paid when he comes to our Qingjiang Restaurant. It's not just here; he signs the bill at many restaurants in the county, and no one dares to actually ask for it back."

Li Feng frowned, somewhat surprised: "Why put on such a grand show without paying? Booking the entire third floor and treating people to a table full of delicacies, all for free?"

Wang Nan sighed and lowered her voice: "Who can argue with that? He's openly taking advantage and establishing his authority. In Qingjiang County, Cui Shiqiang can eat wherever he wants, and nobody dares to say a word against it."

Li Feng remained silent, realizing that Cui Shiqiang's domineering nature was far more extreme than he had imagined.

Just then, the designated driver called to say he had arrived at the door.

Li Feng hung up the phone, turned around and patted Wang Nan on the shoulder, "Compile all the debts Cui Shiqiang owes us at our restaurant, list them in detail, and send them to my phone. I'll go and collect the money."

Upon hearing this, Wang Nan turned pale and quickly waved her hands, "President Li, you mustn't! President Shen specifically instructed us not to chase Cui Shiqiang for his debts. We don't need to offend him over such a small amount of money..."

Li Feng frowned.

He never expected that someone like Shen Qingjiang would be so wary of Cui Shiqiang.

It seems that Cui Shiqiang's claim in the private room that he had connections with the Cui family in Beijing was probably not just boasting.

That confidence was indeed well-founded.

But he didn't change his mind, simply saying, "Manager Wang, just do as I say. Organize it and send it over. If we can get it back, consider it a bonus and distribute it among the store's employees."

Wang Nan wanted to say something more, her lips moved, but Li Feng interrupted her: "Alright, I'm leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Feng started walking out.

Wang Nan stood there, watching his figure disappear through the doorway, her brows furrowed in worry.

He was starting to have doubts. This new boss was really bold, but how could he possibly collect Cui Shiqiang's debt so easily?

Outside the door, the designated driver was already standing next to the Range Rover, and nodded to Li Feng as he came out.

As he approached, the car clicked open automatically, and the headlights even flashed twice in a thoughtful gesture.

Li Feng opened the passenger door, got in, and gave the address, "To Li Family Village."

The designated driver replied "Okay," skillfully fastened his seatbelt, and started the car.

The traffic wasn't too congested. The designated driver looked at Li Feng beside him, who was driving a Land Rover at such a young age, and couldn't help but ask him a question with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Boss, you're so young, what kind of business do you run? It's really impressive that you can drive a Range Rover."

Li Feng was leaning back in his chair scrolling through his phone when he heard this. He looked up and his gaze fell on the envious look on the designated driver's face. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and a mischievous smile crept onto his lips.

This guy looks honest, maybe I should tease him a bit.

He put away his phone, leaned back in his chair, and said casually, "Nothing much, I just recently met a rich woman."

"A rich woman?" The driver's eyes lit up, and his hands on the steering wheel trembled slightly. "Boss, does that...does that rich woman have any close friends? Could...could you introduce me to some of them?"

As he spoke, his face turned red, and his voice stammered.

Seeing his expression, Li Feng suppressed a laugh and deliberately dragged out his words.

"Of course you can. But..."

He paused, sizing up the designated driver, "What are your strengths? You can't expect this girl to get to know you for no reason, can you?"

"Advantages?" the designated driver murmured repeatedly, his brows furrowed as if he were desperately searching his brain for information.

After a long while, he finally raised his head, his face showing some uncertainty.

"Does being able to endure hardship count? I can work from morning till night every day, and I can manage with only four or five hours of sleep a day. I can do any dirty or tiring job..."

Li Feng raised an eyebrow, teasing him deliberately, "That's all?"

The designated driver's face turned bright red, like a boiled shrimp. He quickly racked his brains for a solution, his voice trembling with urgency.

"Oh, by the way! I can fix home appliances! When the refrigerator and washing machine broke down, I fixed them all myself. I know exactly how to replace parts and rewire! It saved me a lot on repair costs!"

Afraid that Li Feng wouldn't believe him, he quickly added, "I'm also a decent cook. I can make all sorts of home-style dishes, like scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised pork ribs. My mom says they taste even better than what you get in restaurants..."

He became more and more serious as he spoke, his eyes shining, as if afraid of missing some important point. Finally, he even added a sentence with a stiff neck.

"Boss, I'm an honest person, I don't play tricks, and I don't have any bad intentions. If there really is someone suitable, I'll definitely treat her well and listen to her in everything..."

Li Feng let out a long sigh and slowly asked, "Are you good at taking care of people?"

The designated driver paused, his hands on the steering wheel, looking bewildered with a questioning gaze: "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

Li Feng's face showed a deliberate hint of disappointment, and he dragged out his words.

"Mainly because... she's my girlfriend's best friend, and she might have some mobility issues, so she needs to be looked after by several people."

The designated driver was even more confused, his brows furrowed deeply: "Brother, I still don't understand... what does taking care of someone have to do with introducing someone to a potential partner?"

Li Feng glanced at him, as if he had made a great decision before speaking.

"Let me put it this way! My girlfriend is sixty this year, and her best friend is about the same age."

"Sixty? Sixty?" The driver's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, and his hands on the steering wheel trembled, almost causing the car to veer off course.

After realizing what had happened, he quickly steadied himself, his face filled with shock and a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

"Brother, well, forget it! No need to introduce me to anyone, really!"

Looking at his expression, Li Feng suppressed a laugh and deliberately sighed.

"Sigh, that's true, I didn't think it through."

The designated driver waved his hands repeatedly, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"No, no, no, it's not right for me! Really, brother, I'm young and strong, I'm not suited to be a kept man."
