Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Chapter 24: Fallen Gold, Bankruptcy Comeback

Chen Xi stopped in front of him, her gaze sweeping over the starch sausage in Shen Fei's hand: "I never expected you to look so handsome even while eating starch sausage on the street, Shen Fei. Judging by your relaxed demeanor, you're living a pretty good life, huh?"

"It's alright, it's alright. It's mainly because I've been influenced by some designers that my taste has declined. Miss Chen, you've condescended to come to our small county town. I'm sure you haven't eaten yet? Would you like to sit down and have some? It's on me."

Shen Fei knew very well that Chen Xi was definitely not there to chat idly.

He only ever spoke one sentence to Chen Xi during university; at the time, Chen Xi had opened a milk tea shop on campus.

His roommate dragged him along to support the place, and he bought a drink.

I don't know what got into me, but I ordered the most expensive drink. The taste was just average, and it didn't live up to the price.

When paying the bill, seeing Chen Xi's stunningly beautiful face, Shen Fei blurted out, almost as if possessed, "Beautiful lady, this milk tea cost eighteen yuan. Fifteen yuan of that was for your face, wasn't it?"

It's said that Chen Xi's milk tea shop earned over three million yuan during his four years of university.

......

Chen Xi looked at Shen Fei, who was covered in dust and dirt, and found it somewhat unbelievable.

Most men, upon seeing her, either subconsciously straighten their appearance or avoid eye contact.

This guy, on the other hand, not only remained calm and collected, but even had the leisure to eat rice noodle rolls right in front of her.

Even if he's somewhat handsome, he can't ignore his charm, as I already proved when I was having dinner with Zhou Yun.

She walked to the stone bench next to her and sat down. After watching Shen Fei finish eating the starch sausage in his hand, she slowly said, "My cousin and your roommate Zhang Wei are classmates. I heard that you opened a media company here, and I just happened to be passing by, so I came to take a look..."

Shen Fei pulled out a tissue from his pocket, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "Miss Chen, it takes a full seven hours to get here from Shanghai. You call this just passing by? You might fool Zhang Wei with that, but just say what you want. Anyway, don't even think about taking advantage of my small business."

"Can't I even take advantage of you?"

"No way! Expenses have been high lately, and the company is about to run out of money to pay salaries next month. Otherwise, why would I, as the boss, go downstairs to buy sausages just to save money on a meal? Isn't it better to stay in the office with the air conditioning on and order takeout?" Shen Fei began to play the victim in a serious tone.

"No boss is ever not tired."

"Yes! Opening a milk tea shop in a university is quite easy. A cup of milk tea costs eighteen yuan, and the cost is three yuan and fifty cents."

"Same here. At least I have a clear price list and I'm fair to everyone, young and old. Unlike some people who charge 5,000 yuan per paper for writing papers, half of which is copied from the internet."

"Zhang Wei even told you this? That damn simp!"

He did write papers back then to earn some extra money, but the claim that half of the content was copied from the internet is pure slander.

He only copied one-third of it, and the citation format and plagiarism rate were impeccable.

Chen Xi elegantly smoothed her hair, a smile playing on her lips: "Zhang Wei also said that you've started a company now, specializing in deceiving... oh no, signing young girls to become internet celebrities."

There's no point in pretending anymore now that things have come to this.

Shen Fei leaned back on the stone bench, quietly watching Chen Xi.

Chen Xi felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she straightened her skirt and crossed her two long legs.

Shen Fei glanced sideways at those long legs and said calmly, "Just say it, Miss Chen, what brings you here today?"

"I heard you can create customized plans for people, and I'm thinking of becoming an online influencer... What kind of persona would suit me? What kind of career path would I choose?"

"Sure! I have a track that's perfect for you." Shen Fei grinned mischievously.

"What track?"

"A fallen heiress's rags-to-riches story. Here's what happened: The Chen Group in Shanghai went bankrupt overnight, leaving the pampered heiress burdened with millions in debt and stranded in Anyuan County. Your first video is of you tearfully cutting up your platinum credit card, selling all your Hermes bags, and then moving into a cramped apartment building with a monthly rent of only 800 yuan..."

"Are you kidding me?"

Shen Fei smiled slightly, "We have an artist under our company named Zhou Yun. She has a lot of clothes at home, and the logo on the clothes you're wearing is exactly the same."

When he heard Chen Xi say that she wanted him to customize a plan for her, he felt that something was wrong.

Chen Xi is not short of money and is doing very well. Since she has come to me, either she wants to cooperate with me on short video promotion, or her company needs a brand operator and wants me to work for her.

Of course, there might be another reason: she had a crush on him throughout college and now that she's graduated, she wants to confess her feelings.

Anyway, it's impossible for it to be related to becoming an artist at Feiyu Media.

"That's my cousin..." Chen Xi realized she couldn't hide it any longer, so she decided to come clean.

She didn't immediately question Shen Fei, mainly because after checking the situation of Feiyu Media, she felt that the name Shen Fei sounded familiar.

After meeting, she discovered that he was indeed her classmate, and based on her trust in him, she maintained ample patience. This had absolutely nothing to do with Shen Fei being handsome.

"Now I know why you're here," Shen Fei clapped his hands and stood up. "Is it because Zhou Yun's parents found out and don't approve of her becoming an internet celebrity? I want to ask, have you watched Zhou Yun's videos carefully?"

"Did you think I just wanted Zhou Yun to be a borderline internet celebrity who relies on her figure to attract attention?" Shen Fei asked casually.

"Otherwise what?" Chen Xi retorted, her tone tinged with doubt.

In her opinion, based on the videos Zhou Yun had previously filmed, apart from herself, probably very few people didn't think the same way.

"Miss Chen, your vision is too narrow. These videos are just building up Teacher Zhou's initial fanbase. Once the fanbase reaches a certain level, we'll immediately transform. At that time, we'll use Teacher Zhou's personal brand as the core to create a new Chinese-style clothing brand. She will no longer be just a simple internet celebrity, but a phenomenal presence with her own clothing brand."

"Traditional Chinese style? Clothing brand?"

Looking at Chen Xi, who was in shock, Shen Fei leisurely added, "We will launch a series of clothing in the name of Teacher Zhou, which blends tea culture with modern aesthetics. She will become a phenomenal figure with her own IP."

Hearing this, Chen Xi was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected Shen Fei's scheme to be so profound.

Shen Fei got on the electric scooter and turned around to say, "You've finished asking. Please keep this a secret for me. I need to go home. I'll treat you to dinner next time we meet. My mom will be home after get off work today, and I need to go back and cook."

Chen Xi quickly stood up, glanced at Shen Fei, and asked, "Then... would you mind if there was one more person? I told Zhou Yun I was already back in Shanghai so I could sneak over to see you, but my train ticket is for 9 PM. Could I come over for dinner?"
