Chapter 617: Sowing Discord

April 2015 slowly passed.

May 1st.

Lin Feng sat in the Sihe Courtyard, holding a laptop.

The Qingfeng Building officially opened for business, and the computer was showing a live broadcast video that had been streamed on-site.

The Qingfeng Building broke ground in the second half of 2012, was completed in the first half of 2015, and passed inspection.

It took roughly two and a half years to build.

On the opening day, the scene was very lively.

The lobby on the first floor was packed with people, many business tycoons attended.

Great Flag Media announced its move into the Qingfeng Building.

Tang Mi held Tanglin Jewelry, Zhu Li and Wen Keke managed the Zhu Yu Group, Guo Yanru's Qingfeng Investment, Ouyang Moli's L Company Asia branch...

Just Lin Feng's own company, plus the Bei family's company, already took up a large half of the Qingfeng Building.

Next came the Qingfeng Hotel, Qingfeng Department Store...

Lin Feng already had a candidate for managing the building.

After half a year of training, Jiang Xiaofei had already returned from her humble beginnings.

She is currently doing the preparatory work.

The future manager of the building, however, did not show up.

Jiang Xiaofei was sitting with Wang Yu in a coffee shop.

"You've really made it big!"

Wang Yu looked at Jiang Xiaofei with an envious expression, smiling as she said.

At this moment, she wished that Lin Feng had taken a liking to her instead.

Too bad her 'hardware' doesn't meet the standard!

Her appearance simply cannot satisfy Lin Feng's aesthetic.

Every woman around Lin Feng is a true beauty.

Compared to half a year ago when she just graduated, Jiang Xiaofei's demeanor has changed.

She no longer has the inexperienced feel of a recent college graduate.

Both her demeanor and attire have become much more mature.

Speaking of which, Wang Yu has seen more than Jiang Xiaofei.

But in terms of demeanor, she loses.

Because when facing Jiang Xiaofei, she feels she has dropped a whole level.

Jiang Xiaofei stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon, laughing, 'Come help me!'

Wang Yu shook her head, 'No way! Lately your husband has been very dissatisfied with me!'

'What's wrong?' Jiang Xiaofei asked.

Wang Yu sighed and told the story of how she dealt with Yu Yanni.

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaofei furrowed her brows slightly and remained silent.

'Who knew the boss would be so stingy! Now he hardly pays attention to me. Even your sisters-in-law have blacklisted my phone.'

Wang Yu finished speaking and sighed.

This is the price of playing petty tricks.

Jiang Xiaofei advised, 'I think you should stop these little tricks; they're fine with outsiders, but never pull them in front of your own people.'

Everyone is smart; they didn't understand back then, but they will later. This is like killing a thousand enemies while damaging oneself eight hundred.

Jiang Xiaofei used to not be able to say such things.

Now it's different.

If they weren't close friends, Jiang Xiaofei wouldn't say these things to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was quite displeased in her heart.

First, Jiang Xiaofei said she was wrong, which is unpleasant to hear, and she feels she did nothing wrong.

Second, Jiang Xiaofei's life and status have far surpassed hers, at least that's how she feels.

Once, she even looked down on Jiang Xiaofei.

Wang Yu's goal is to own her own company, with assets worth tens of billions.

Then she would peacefully break up with Zhao Xiaoyang and truly live a dignified life.

But first she needs to have her own company.

To achieve this goal, it depends on Zhao Xiaoyang!

These days she has been trying hard to curry favor with Zhao Xiaoyang, getting him to go talk to Lin Feng.

As good brothers, Lin Feng is now so wealthy; shouldn't he share a piece of the pie with his brothers?

Zhao Xiaoyang not only didn't listen to her, but he also became unhappy.

Zhao Xiaoyang is very satisfied with his current life; in Wang Yu's eyes, he lacks ambition.

He said he could marry her, get the marriage certificate, but after marriage things would stay the same.

Get married, then have children.

As for money, will he be short of cash?

What kind of twisted logic is this?

If that's really the case, why would she waste effort trying to curry favor with Zhao Xiaoyang?

In fact, Jiang Xiaofei's suggestion that Wang Yu help her was also Lin Feng's idea.

Lin Feng couldn't say it directly.

Unfortunately, Wang Yu refused.

Jiang Xiaofei looked at Wang Yu's expression and knew what she was thinking.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Xiaofei asked.

Wang Yu said calmly: "I want to do financial investments…"

Jiang Xiaofei gave a wry smile: "I can't help you with that. I'm in industry now. You know opening a bar isn't that easy—I'll be busy in a couple of days…"

Wang Yu's meaning was clear.

She wanted to use her connections to get some insider information from Lin Feng's many companies.

She planned to start her own company and invest in stocks and other financial products.

The money, of course, would be gotten by having Zhao Xiaoyang ask Lin Feng for a loan.

This was practically a sure‑win deal.

Yet, in Jiang Xiaofei's view, how is this business any different from a leech?

Moreover, it's sucking the blood of one's own family.

Jiang Xiaofei was also smart; she didn't want to get involved, so she said she didn't understand and couldn't help—effectively a polite refusal.

The two sat in the coffee shop for over an hour.

Although they left with smiles, in reality an unresolved rift had formed between them.

Jiang Xiaofei returned to the Sihe Courtyard.

"How did the talk go?"

Lin Feng saw Jiang Xiaofei return and asked with a smile.

Jiang Xiaofei sat down, shook her head, and said: "She won't agree…"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows.

Wang Yu's appetite has grown much larger than before!

Shouldn't we warn this woman?

People change.

By staying with Zhao Xiaoyang, Wang Yu had seen some big scenes.

Her ambitions naturally rose.

Back then, Lin Feng's idea was to let Zhao Xiaoyang have his own business.

But Zhao Xiaoyang didn't like that.

This guy just likes to hang out with his brothers, drinking and eating kebabs when he's free.

As for money, as long as he has enough to pick up girls, he's fine.

Although he's a scumbag, he's a scumbag with morals.

Every woman who's broken up with Zhao Xiaoyang has no complaints about him.

At the very least, they all got what they wanted—and often more.

Zhao Xiaoyang just wants to be a salted fish, which is hard on the high‑aspiring Wang Yu.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said: "We still need to ask Xiaoyang about this."

At the same moment.

"Pa~"

A clear sound rang out.

Zhao Xiaoyang got angry and slapped Wang Yu across the face.

As a man, Zhao Xiaoyang didn't want to hit a woman.

But he simply couldn't bear it.

Wang Yu covered her face, stared at Zhao Xiaoyang, and shouted: "You! You hit me again!"

This wasn't the first time Wang Yu had been hit.

Zhao Xiaoyang said with a grim face: "Don't think I don't know about your little tricks.

You've always just used me as a stepping stone to move up—do you even have feelings for me?"

Wang Yu sneered: "Zhao Xiaoyang, you have feelings for me? If you did, you wouldn't be seeing one and loving another."

Zhao Xiaoyang sighed: "When you first got together with me, you knew what kind of person I am; it's not too late to regret now."

Wang Yu, having lost her reason, gave a hollow laugh: "Lin Feng throws you a few scraps and you think you're satisfied; you think he's your brother, but does he even treat you as a real sibling? I'm blind!"

After saying that, Wang Yu felt a bit regretful.

But seeing Zhao Xiaoyang silent, she thought she had hit the mark.

She then added: "Don't you see I've always been thinking of you? Your relationship with him is still fine—just speak up and he'll surely help you.

Once his sons and daughters grow up, this so‑called brother of yours will be pushed to the sidelines."

Zhao Xiaoyang sighed, nodded, and said: "You're right; let me think about it!"

Wang Yu laughed: "Dear, you need to realize that only what you hold in your own hands is truly yours."

After saying that, Wang Yu picked up her bag and left.

Zhao Xiaoyang waved toward the second floor and called Liu Erwa down.

"This woman can't stay."

Zhao Xiaoyang said calmly.

Liu Erwa furrowed his brows and said: "She's just a female lackey, stirring up trouble. If what she just said got back to Brother Feng…

She knows too much—she probably knows everything about the gold matter, but I don't know if she knows about the Jasmine."

Zhao Xiaoyang finished speaking, and in anger flipped the table.

Liu Erwa said, "Then should I go arrange it?"

Zhao Xiaoyang bit his teeth and nodded.

Liu Erwa turned and left.

Then Zhao Xiaoyang picked up the phone and dialed Wang Yu's mobile number.
