Chapter 183


    “Oh, I thought she was a ssmate of yours. By the way, Stinky Feng, isn’t military training starting tomorrow, Friday?” Gu Muxi sat back down and asked with a smile.


    “Yes, military training in the scorching heat ofte summer, I guess we’ll be sunburned,” Yi Fengughed lightly. “I’m not worried, but you, you might get a few shades darker.”


    Gu Muxi nced at him and said, “What, you have a problem if I get darker?”


    “Besides… I’ll apply sunscreen all over every day!”


    Yi Feng teased, “Ah, with such strong sunlight, that might not work, you’ll probably get tanned anyway.”


    “Huh???”


    “No, no! I don’t want to get darker, let’s go buy sunscreen after we finish eating!” Gu Muxi puffed her cheeks.


    Yi Feng inwardly rejoiced, finding her appearance truly adorable.


    After finishing breakfast, the two went to buy sunscreen, purchasing fourrge bottles, two for each.Yi Feng tugged at the corner of his mouth, he had never used so much sunscreen in his previous life…


    The two then strolled around the streets, and it was almost noon when Yi Feng returned to his dorm.


    As soon as he entered, he saw Yang Jian and Ke Yizhou battling it out in Red Alert.


    “Brother Feng, where did you go early in the morning? Did you go to exercise?” Yang Jian asked with a suggestive wiggle of his eyebrows.


    “What exercise? Do I look like that kind of person?” Yi Feng retorted with a look of righteousness.


    Yang Jian and Ke Yizhou nodded in unison, “Not seem like, you are!”


    Yi Feng: “(?w?｀ll)……”


    “Come on, what kind of look is that, I’m super straight, okay?” Yi Feng joked, then went back to his desk.


    He turned to see Sun Tugang, who was deeply engrossed in the newspaper, and asked curiously, “Old Sun, since when do you like reading newspapers?”


    Sun Tugang scratched his head and replied, “I, I’m looking for a part-time job. I want to do some part-time work in my free time, but… the jobs advertised in the newspapers are all full-time, it seems no one is looking for part-time work.”


    His eyes showed a hint of disappointment.


    Yi Feng knew his family was not well-off, and his college fees had been gathered by the vigers.


    He hadn’t expected him to consider taking up a part-time job, to study and work at the same time, not everyone has that kind of determination.


    Yi Feng felt a surge ofpassion, but helping someone also requires tact, respecting the other person’s dignity.


    “Tugang, if you’re looking for a part-time job, why note to mypany? We’re urgently in need of someone to do marketing operations. Could you help me promote our software online?” Yi Feng smiled and asked.


    “Ah? Feng, Brother Feng, can I do it?” Sun Tugang appeared hesitant,cking confidence.


    Yi Feng stood up, walked over, and patted his shoulder, encouragingly saying, “As long as you’re willing to do it, you definitely can. I believe anyone willing to take action can make it, and so can you.”


    Hearing this, Sun Tugang was visibly moved, receiving a great deal of encouragement.


    “Thank you, Brother Feng, I understand. I’ll work hard!”


    “Although… I don’t yet know what marketing operations are, I’ll learn well!” Sun Tugang said with determination.


    Yi Feng nodded approvingly andughed, “Ha ha, that’s the spirit. You should have courage and confidence. As long as we’re alive, with enough courage, nothing can stop you.”


    “For your part-time job, I’ll start you off with a sry of 200 yuan a month. If you show good results, I’ll increase your sry. How does that sound?”


    Sun Tugang was shocked, “What? 200 yuan? That’s so much!”


    200 yuan was more than his monthly food expenses!


    He hadn’t expected Yi Feng to be so generous and was extremely grateful.


    “Work hard, that’s nothing. There will be plenty of opportunities to make more money in the future.” Yi Feng habitually made promises,ughing.


    It seems every boss likes to promise big, and it never fails.


    But Yi Feng was on the less extravagant side; he was more about practical action.


    That 200 yuan was about the living expenses of an ordinary college student.


    The cafeteria’s vegetarian dishes cost 50 cents, small meat dishes 1 yuan, and big meat dishes 2.5 yuan. Eating frugally, one could be full for just 3 yuan per meal, with breakfast consisting of steamed buns or baozi, and only having proper meals for lunch and dinner, spending about 7 yuan a day, which rounds to about 200 yuan a month.


    Most ordinary students ate like this, and those who frequently dined out like Yi Feng were the rare exception.


    After all, the majority are those without money, and the wealthy are always the minority.


    “Okay, thank you, Brother Feng!” Sun Tugang excitedly shook Yi Feng’s hand.


    Yi Feng smiled, “Alright,ter I’ll set you up with aputer and give you a work file. You just follow the file to learn; you’ll pick it up quickly. Once the software officiallyunches, you can be a big help.”


    “Yes, I’ll study hard!” Sun Tugang earnestly said.


    As they were talking, Yi Feng’s phone rang.


    “I’ll take this call first.”


    Yi Feng stepped into the hallway to see the call was from Feng Ze.


    “Hello, Feng Ze, got any good news?”


    “Ha ha, Brother Yi, you’re indeed sharp. There is indeed good news. Shengde has started seeking negotiations with Hanhai, willing to pay a sum to terminate the contract, but that’s just wishful thinking on their part, wasting our n,” Feng Ze’sughter came through the phone.


    Yi Feng’s eyes narrowed calmly, “So, they’re really desperate. Feng Ze, is thewyer’s letter prepared?”


    “Already prepared. It will be delivered to Pan Chengfu precisely at 6 p.m. I called to see if you wanted toe and witness it?” Feng Zeughed.


    “No need, Feng Ze, I have ss in the afternoon. I’ll leave it to you, I trust you,” Yi Feng declined.


    Going there would inevitably lead to a drinking session, where Feng Ze would likely bring up investing in Xifeng Electronics again.


    So, Yi Feng directly turned it down, not giving him the chance.


    “Alright then, but make sure toe over for a drink when you’re free. I haven’t drunk with you for a while!” Feng Ze said.


    “No problem, we’ll make ns when I’m free.”


    After a bit more casual talk, they ended the call.


    On the other side, in the chairman’s office of Nanqiao Commerce, Feng Ze sat with a grim expression, toying with his phone.


    “Caiyi, do you think Yi Feng doesn’t want us to invest in hispany?” Feng Ze turned to look at Lan Caiyi standing beside him.


    Lan Caiyi hesitated for a moment before replying, “Maybe he hasn’t decided yet. In theory, it’s a win-win proposition. We provide the capital, and he captures the market. But if he values his equity highly, he might not be willing.”


    “I think… maybe we can’t rush this.”


    Feng Ze nodded, “You make sense. Maybe he’s just cautious about us. Our rtionship might not have reached that level yet.”


    “Caiyi, send him some giftster, and try to contact him more to build trust,” Feng Ze instructed.


    Lan Caiyi smiled slightly and nodded, “Understood.”


    Feng Ze nced at his watch and smiled, “Arrange it so the letter is sent to Shengde on time this afternoon. Then, tomorrow, Friday, notify Liu Tie to file awsuit against Shengde for breach of contract at the court immediately.”


    Lan Caiyi nodded, “I’ll arrange it right away.”


    …


    At 6 p.m., the atmosphere in Shengde Company was tense, everyone’s faces filled with anxiety.


    Yu Guangchun and Pan Chengfu sat with dark faces, silent.


    After three days of effort, they had still failed to resolve thestponent issue. Hanhai had refused any negotiation and issued a final notice.


    If they failed toplete the project, they would sue Shengde Company for breach of contract!


    They would have to pay five times the project funds as a penalty!


    That was over twenty million yuan!


    Shengde Company simply couldn’t afford to pay!


    As the news spread within thepany, people became restless.


    “Just do what you need to do; Yu and I will handle the Hanhai project!” Pan Chengfu finally broke the silence.


    The other employees remained silent, but it was clear that the situation was very serious.


    Then, a group ofwyers dressed in ck suits and wearing sses entered Shengde Company.


    “Is this Pan Chengfu of Shengde Company? We are from Juncheng Law Firm, I am Peng Zhongchang, and I am officially delivering thiswyer’s letter on behalf of Hanhai Company to you!”


    “Shengde Company must take full responsibility for the project breach andpensate Hanhai Company for all losses!”


    “Prepare for thewsuit.” Peng Zhongchang handed thewyer’s letter to Pan Chengfu, then turned and left.


    Pan Chengfu looked at thewyer’s letter, slumping into his chair, his face turning pale as death.


    “It’s over, everything’s over, Shengde is finished…”


    He never imagined that after being so clever all his life, he would fall here today!


    A contract breach, a document with legal effect, thiswsuit was unwinnable!


    Pan Chengfu covered his face with his hands, tears finally breaking through his eyes.


    All employees watched him, silent, thepany so quiet that only his sobbing could be heard.
