150: Chapter 150 Operation
Yonghe Manor. It was the largest manor in all of Beihu and also the one with the most beautiful scenery. It wasn't because of anything else; it was simply because there was a body of water behind the manor. It was essentially built right by the sea.
At this moment, outside the manor, a dozen servants were standing there, with a man in his forties, the butler, in front of them. After all, the manor was so large that it required people to manage it and clean it every day. These people had been hired by the manor's previous owner. Otherwise, if this manor were left sitting here for a year, it would be overgrown with weeds and covered in dust, making it impossible to sell.
"What do you think the new owner of this manor is like? What if I don't do a good job and he fires me?"
"Who knows? When the manor was vacant before, we just needed to do some cleaning. Now that the new owner is moving in, if our work doesn't suit his tastes, he might just fire us!"
"Sigh, it's not easy to find a good job these days."
The group discussed among themselves.
"Alright, that's enough!" the male butler in front said coldly. "This President Chen is someone even Secretary Wang thinks highly of. If you offend him, you'll be in big trouble! President Chen just called and will be here soon, so stand up straight!"
The crowd was frightened and quickly shut their mouths. They all straightened their postures.
Soon, two luxury cars drove over. The one in front was a lamborghini veneno, and the one behind was a porsche.
"They're here!" The butler was delighted. He had served as a butler for many wealthy people, so he recognized some luxury cars. At a glance, he could tell the car in front was worth over ninety million! He really was a rich man! But upon second thought, he felt relieved. Someone who could afford Yonghe Manor wouldn't have low assets, right?
Just as Chen Feng stepped out of the car, the butler went up to him and said respectfully, "President Chen, I am the butler here, Old Wu. If you have any needs in the future, you can tell me at any time."
"Old Wu?" Chen Feng nodded. "Alright, you all go ahead. I'll walk around by myself first."
"Understood." Butler Wu nodded and had everyone leave quickly.
After Shang Yanyan and Yun Ting got out of the car, they ran excitedly toward the manor.
"Oh my god, why does it feel like a park? There are rockeries and all kinds of flowers and trees. The entire front yard must be a thousand square meters, right?" Shang Yanyan exclaimed continuously along the way. She felt like she was touring a palace. The manor's architecture was also very imposing, a style combining modern and classical elements. The main building had four floors plus a basement.
Seeing Shang Yanyan and Yun Ting touring the manor, Chen Feng smiled faintly. This time, he had brought the Little One out. They arrived at the backyard of the manor. Sure enough, there was a body of water, less than fifty meters away. The manor was on high ground, so there was no fear of flooding. The little pterosaur seemed very excited and flapped its wings to fly. After a few days of practice, it was already able to fly in the air, though it didn't fly very high.
"Let's find a time to move here!" Chen Feng was quite satisfied with this location. Most importantly, the space for this pterosaur to move around was large; it wasn't just limited to the manor's grounds, as it could also move freely in the surrounding waters.
After about an hour, Shang Yanyan and Yun Ting finally finished touring the entire manor; they had truly visited every inch of the place.
Chen Feng smiled faintly. "You like it, right? How about we move in next month?"
"Really? Yay!" Shang Yanyan jumped up in excitement. But the next moment, her face turned bright red. She remembered the morning, when she and Yun Ting were lying on Chen Feng's bed. This guy. Was he going to choose her or Sister Yun?!
After staying at the manor for a while, they went straight back; moving wasn't that simple. There was no rush. With the Little One's growth rate, it would be just right to move here by then!
The next day, Chen Feng was woken up by a phone call from his roommate, Yang Qi.
"Third Brother, Third Brother, something happened! Come to school quickly!"
"What could have happened?" Chen Feng rubbed his eyes. Although he wasn't grumpy after waking up, being woken up early in the morning was still a bit annoying. "Stop being so noisy all the time. You scared the living daylights out of me!"
"I..." Yang Qi was speechless. He quickly said, "I'm not joking with you. Today the school is holding the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Haven't I been hitting on... ahem, pursuing a junior student lately? She happens to be the host of the gala, and I saw your name on the list she has. Third Brother, did you sign up to perform?"
"I didn't sign up." Chen Feng looked confused. "Wait, you just said you were hitting on a junior? Damn, you're robbing the cradle, aren't you? Awesome, awesome!"
Yang Qi had a face full of black lines. "Third Brother, your name has been submitted now. Many people know you're going to perform. If you flake out, you'll definitely be laughed at by everyone!"
"Alright, I got it." Chen Feng was speechless. It's just a performance. What's the big deal?!
He just hung up the phone when the beautiful Counselor called.
"Chen Feng, come to school quickly. Someone signed you up for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala today. You have to perform. Take advantage of the time and prepare quickly! Hurry up!" Counselor Jin Tian's voice was very anxious. After all, Chen Feng was a student in her class. If he made a fool of himself on stage, she would lose face too.
"Teacher, wasn't it you who signed me up?" Chen Feng found it strange. Only a Counselor would do something like this, right?
"How could it be me?!" Counselor Jin Tian immediately got anxious. "Chen Feng, I am your teacher. How could I do something that ruins a person's reputation? If you accuse me wrongly, I won't let you off!"
"Alright, alright, I know it wasn't you." Chen Feng got up, grumbling. This cute Counselor really couldn't take a joke. "No rush. I'm going to take a leak first, then I'll be at school in a bit."
"..." Counselor Jin Tian hung up with a snap.
On the other side, in a pitch-black room in the slums of Beihu, three men were hiding in the darkness.
One of them said coldly, "According to the information we received, that batch of combat suits was developed by a person named Chen Feng, and it is currently only the first-generation product. There will be second-generation and even third-generation products in the future! You have already seen that the current product is already stronger than the bulletproof vests on the market, and the cost-performance ratio is already very high. If it is upgraded to the second or third generation, it will definitely be terrifying! Therefore, our target this time is to kill Chen Feng! Do you understand?!"
Another person frowned and said, "Currently, the whole city is looking for us. It's a bit difficult to kill Chen Feng. We have no way to find his whereabouts at all right now!"
"No need to look, I have news here!" The person from before laughed. "Chen Feng is a student at Beihu University. Their school is holding a Mid-Autumn Festival Gala today. He will definitely go, which is our chance to strike!"
"Alright then, everyone get ready!" As the conversation ended, the voices in the room disappeared again.
