He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

He picked it up and saw, to his surprise, a call from Mr. Rui.

To be honest, he didn’t really want to get too close to this kind of rich second generation.

Because they had nothing in common, he couldn’t get along with them.

But the guy had indeed helped him out once in Qianda Plaza, so he couldn’t just snub him, could he?

After hesitating for a moment, he finally answered the call, “Hello, Mr. Rui. Is there something you need?”

“Can you not call me Mr. Rui? It sounds too impersonal,” Zhou Bingrui’s displeased voice came immediately from the other end.

“Don’t everyone else call you Mr. Rui?”

“Other people are other people, you are you, I truly consider you a friend.”

Although Tang Feng didn’t know how much truth there was in his words, since the man had said so, he had no choice but to go along with it, “If I don’t call you Mr. Rui, then what should I call you?”

“How old are you this year?”

“I’m twenty-three.”

“I’m two years older than you, so just call me Brother Rui, and I’ll call you Feng. No problem, right?”

“Uh… okay then. Brother Rui, what did you want to talk to me about?” Even though Tang Feng felt a bit awkward, he agreed.

“Here’s the thing, there’s a batch of good material from the old pit recently. Are you interested in having another go?” Zhou Bingrui stated his purpose.

“Gambling on rocks? I…” Tang Feng hesitated for a moment. Gambling on rocks was like picking up money for him, so of course, he was willing.

But mixing with a rich second generation like Zhou Bingrui, and then dividing the profits at the end, if things turned unpleasant, that could be a headache.

“What’s there to hesitate about? I’m telling you, this opportunity is really rare. It’s open only to high-end players, ordinary people don’t even have the qualifications to enter. It’s because I consider you a friend that I decided to bring you along, if you don’t want to, then forget it,” Zhou Bingrui obviously heard the hesitation and sounded a bit unhappy.

“All right then, count me in.” Tang Feng thought it over and finally nodded in agreement.

Zhou Bingrui was then satisfied, “That’s more like it. The gambling on rocks will start tomorrow afternoon, I’ll send you the address later.”

Tang Feng suddenly thought of how Song Lele and Xu Xinling both enjoyed lively events and decided to take them along for the experience.

“By the way, Brother Rui, I was thinking of bringing two friends along, is that okay?”

“Friends? Male or female?”

“Female.”

“Is it that beauty you saw at the mall last time?”

“Er… no.”

“You sly dog, seems like I still have a lot to learn from you when it comes to picking up girls,” came the teasing reply.

“Cough cough, don’t say that, they’re just friends.”

“Cut it out, don’t give me that. There’s no such thing as ‘just friends’ between the opposite sexes. We’re all men, who doesn’t understand whom?”

“…”

“Fine, you can bring up to two people, but no more, okay? Otherwise, I’ll have trouble explaining to the organizers.”

“No problem.”

After some idle chatter, they each hung up.

Tang Feng then pulled Song Lele and Xu Xinling into a WeChat group and told them about the event.

As expected, the two were immediately thrilled and readily agreed.

Tang Feng chatted with the two for a while, then tossed his phone onto the sofa and turned to enter the bathroom.

…

Meanwhile, inside a luxurious apartment.

Zhao Huaqiang sat on the couch, appearing tense, with two lackeys beside him.

A man in home clothes, with an apron tied around his waist, came out of the kitchen holding a plate of freshly cut fruit.

“Relax, you’re at home,” the man said as he put the fruit on the coffee table and sat down casually.

“Yes, Mr. Xu,” Zhao Huaqiang said, although his demeanor did not relax at all.

This casually behaving man was his boss, Xu Hongyuan.

He had previously sent people to track Jiang Zi at the instruction of Mr. Xu.

Although he appeared powerful and untouchable outside, he always felt uneasy in the presence of this man.

Mr. Xu was usually friendly to everyone, but when he got tough, even someone used to living on the edge like him felt his scalp tingle.

He had once witnessed Mr. Xu smiling while using pliers to pull out someone’s fingernails.

The memory of that scene still made his scalp tingle to this day.

“Wang Xiaodao should have begun his action by now, right?” Xu Hongyuan chewed on a piece of apple while asking, skewering another with a toothpick.

“Yes, he has entered Lingxiu Residence and we believe he’ll soon have good news,” Zhao Huaqiang answered with great respect.

They had been watching Shen Tianyan for a long time, and were planning to execute their final action tonight.

Wang Xiaodao had sent a message not long ago, saying he had successfully entered Lingxiu Residence and was searching for the bracelet.

Xu Hongyuan nodded in satisfaction, “We’ve all been busy for a while for this action. Once we have that bracelet, each of you will get a reward of one million.”

Zhao Huaqiang and the two attendants by his side were stirred with excitement.

One million was not a small amount for them.

They risked their lives on the streets, and might not make a million even in a year’s time.

Mr. Xu, as expected, was really in big business; this kind of generous spending was truly awe-inspiring.

Xu Hongyuan took another bite of apple, “But this one million is not for nothing, I have another task for you.”

Zhao Huaqiang immediately sat up straight, “Please instruct me, Mr. Xu. Just give the order, and I, Zhao Huaqiang, will not hesitate even if it means climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a pot of oil.”

“It’s not that serious,” Xu Hongyuan waved his hand at him, and then said with a smile, “That kid who spoiled my plans twice, have you checked out his background?”

Zhao Huaqiang knew he was asking about Tang Feng and hurriedly answered cautiously, “We’ve got it all figured out, this kid comes from an ordinary family, has no background at all. Some time ago, I don’t know what stroke of luck he had, he got in good with Qin Yanan, got into Ya Garden, and became an Appraiser.”

“Qin Yanan…”

When Xu Hongyuan thought of that enchanting woman, his expression became complex.

There was both wariness and fascination.

“After the success of tonight’s action, get rid of that kid for me. I believe Qin Yanan won’t make a big deal over some young nobody,” he instructed.

“Yes, Mr. Xu!”
