37: Bitch, are you awake now?

Wang Xin's voice carried a hint of flattery, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere.

Jiang Feng's lips curved slightly into a relaxed smile as he slowly said, "Mr. Wang, I've heard so much about you! I hear you're planning a major push into the online group-buying market. This group-buying market is quite lively right now... Capital from both domestic and international sources is pouring in like crazy, and the competition is fierce, like a pack of hungry wolves fighting over food."

Jiang Feng's voice was very relaxed, as if he were chatting with a friend. He paused, then continued, "I, well, I was just worried you'd get too busy and forget to register a domain name, and then your watchful competitors would snatch it up, which would be troublesome... So, I went ahead and registered a domain name for you. Consider it me helping you solve a small problem."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xin rolled his eyes. You're the one who squat the domain!

But he didn't dare show any emotion on his face, which was plastered with a smile as he forced himself to appear calm and said, "Is that so? Mr. Jiang, I truly appreciate it, but we can't let you do it for free... How about this: five hundred thousand for your domain name, consider it us becoming friends."

Wang Xin's heart was bleeding. A domain name that normally cost a hundred yuan would now cost at least five hundred thousand, or even more!

The company was just starting, and funds were already tight; every penny had to be carefully accounted for.

But to secure this domain name, he could only grit his teeth and offer five hundred thousand, testing Jiang Feng's reaction.

Liu Ruyan, standing nearby, was eavesdropping.

When she heard the number five hundred thousand, her eyes instantly widened like copper bells, and a greedy expression flashed across her face, looking like a starving mouse that had spotted a delicious meal.

She couldn't help but fantasize:

"Five hundred thousand! That's no small sum. I've never seen so much money in my life! If only it could fall into my hands, then I could buy so many beautiful clothes, eat at high-end restaurants, and let those rich bitches see that I, Liu Ruyan, can also use luxury goods! Let's see if they still dare to show off in front of me!!!"

However, she quickly sobered up, secretly mocking herself:

No, Jiang Feng, that good-for-nothing, can he really handle a five hundred thousand deal? Don't be ridiculous!

He must have found an actor from somewhere, acting all proper, and then pretending to be rich to win me back!

Liu Ruyan crossed her arms over her chest, revealing an expression of having seen through everything, her lips curving slightly into a mocking smile, as if she had already seen through Jiang Feng's trick.

Heh heh, want to freeload off me? No way!

Just watch, Jiang Feng will definitely refuse later, because it's all fake!

"Five hundred thousand? Mr. Wang, your sincerity isn't quite enough. It seems you're not very keen on being friends with me..."

Jiang Feng said with a laugh, his voice carrying a hint of teasing.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan showed an "I knew it" expression, secretly smug:

I knew it was fake. If you don't have money, stop pretending, okay?

With your demeanor, trying to act like a big shot in front of me is utterly laughable.

Her gaze towards Jiang Feng held a hint of disdain, as if she were looking at a clown.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Xin's face was bitter, and he groaned inwardly.

Because the company was just starting, the investment he had secured wasn't much, and the group-buying market was fiercely competitive, so every penny had to be carefully planned.

It seemed he would have to bleed a lot today.

"One million! We'll offer one million to be friends with you, Mr. Jiang!"

Wang Xin gritted his teeth and said.

His heart was bleeding, but for the company's development, he could only bear the pain of giving up something precious.

As long as the company developed, what was one million? A drop in the ocean.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng remained unmoved.

One million still wasn't quite enough.

He stroked his chin, a meaningful smile appearing on his face, and said with a laugh, "How about this, I'm in Yangcheng. You come here, I'll treat you to Cantonese cuisine, and we can discuss it in person, how does that sound?"

Although it was a question, it was clear that Jiang Feng had not given him the power to refuse.

Wang Xin suppressed his unease, forced a hearty demeanor, and laughed, "Of course, but we should treat you to dinner, after all, we're the ones asking for a favor... Tomorrow then, let's meet tomorrow."

Jiang Feng's face lit up with joy. His first pot of gold was coming!

But it wasn't time to reap the fruits of victory yet, so he suppressed his excitement:

"Alright, I'll text you the address."

"Alright, Mr. Jiang, then we'll see you tomorrow." Wang Xin said helplessly, filled with apprehension.

"Mhm, see you tomorrow."

The call ended, and Jiang Feng looked at Liu Ruyan, a cruel smile on his face.

He was about to speak, but Liu Ruyan spoke first.

Liu Ruyan looked at Jiang Feng with a mocking expression, saying sarcastically, "Tsk tsk tsk, a big boss, huh? Fifty thousand, a million... how can you still care about my fifty thousand yuan? Next time you're pretending to be rich and scamming people, be more down-to-earth, okay? Don't pull these fancy tricks, and know your place."

Liu Ruyan was very disdainful in her heart. A good-for-nothing will always be a good-for-nothing! Jiang Feng, that good-for-nothing, trying to act like a big shot in front of me, it's utterly ridiculous.

Jiang Feng: "Huh?"

Jiang Feng was utterly bewildered and blurted out, "Are you a fucking idiot? What the hell are you? Why would I scam you? Are you overestimating yourself? And, let alone fifty thousand or a million, even if I had five hundred million, you'd still have to return that fifty thousand you took from me!!!"

Liu Ruyan pouted and said disdainfully, "Tsk tsk tsk, aren't you just trying to get back together with me? Why are you still pretending? If you can really earn a million, I might consider giving you a chance to pursue me again..."

She rolled her eyes. Jiang Feng must have pulled these stunts to win her back; she wouldn't be fooled by his little tricks.

"Huh? I'll pursue your mom, I'll get back together with your mom! Are you out of your mind?"

What a self-confident woman. Jiang Feng was dumbfounded.

How could Liu Ruyan be so self-confident, truly believing she was a celestial fairy descended from heaven, and everyone had to revolve around her?

Unfortunately, Liu Ruyan still felt good about herself, saying haughtily, "You're just using insults to cover up your inner admiration, stop pretending!"

In her eyes, Jiang Feng must still love her, he just felt too embarrassed to admit it.

So funny, I won't fall for your trick!

"I'll pretend your mom!"

Jiang Feng could no longer hold back; the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.

He stepped forward and slapped Liu Ruyan hard.

The sound of the slap was exceptionally loud in the empty garden, and Liu Ruyan's face instantly swelled up.

"Stupid bitch, are you sober now?"
