Golden Splendor, Sixth Floor, Rose Hall.
A refreshed Jiang Feng and Cheng Shaoqing had already arrived at the door.
Jiang Feng's hairstyle was now that of a typical successful man, looking cool and stylish.
Cheng Shaoqing stood behind him, occasionally glancing at his back, somewhat absent-minded.
Because Jiang Feng's aura was too captivating, at least that's what she thought.
Jiang Feng turned around and flashed a big smile.
Cheng Shaoqing quickly lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her dress.
"Thank you for today. I'll repay you as soon as I have the money," Jiang Feng said.
"No need, we're classmates. We should help each other. Don't worry about it," Cheng Shaoqing replied.
"Alright then, let's not dwell on it. Let's go in," Jiang Feng said.
"Okay." Cheng Shaoqing nodded and naturally linked her arm with Jiang Feng's.
As they walked into the hall, it was already bustling with people, men and women chatting and laughing, clinking glasses in harmony.
Most of the people here were young, all dressed to the nines. The men were well-groomed, with slicked-back hair, and the women wore glamorous dresses, revealing their fragrant shoulders and slender arms.
"Shaoqing, you're here."
As the organizer of the party, Liang Dachao was the first to notice Cheng Shaoqing's arrival and quickly stepped forward to greet her.
"Yes," Cheng Shaoqing responded indifferently, not showing much emotion.
Liang Dachao felt a bit awkward but quickly smiled again, "The party has already started. There will be many exciting performances later. Let me get you something to eat first. I prepared your favorite French cake."
He knew Cheng Shaoqing's preferences very well—what she liked to eat, what clothes she liked to wear, what activities she enjoyed. He knew it all.
This is a prerequisite for a master at wooing women.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
"No need, I have Jiang Feng with me. I'll just grab something later," Cheng Shaoqing immediately declined Liang Dachao's invitation.
Liang Dachao's lips twitched, making him look even more awkward. He glanced at Jiang Feng and was stunned. The Jiang Feng he saw today was no longer the rustic country bumpkin he used to be. He was now completely transformed, unrecognizable from before.
Liang Dachao sneered, "Wow, who would've thought? A change of clothes and you actually look presentable, almost like a human being."
The underlying meaning was that Jiang Feng wasn't even considered human before.
"You're too kind. But unlike some people who are hypocritical scoundrels, sometimes not even as sincere as a dog," Jiang Feng retorted without mercy.
Damn it, don't think everyone is easy to bully. If you want to bully someone, at least pick the right target. Unfortunately for Liang Dachao, he picked the wrong one.
"Hmph, a guy who lives off women, and you still have the nerve to stand here and talk? Don't you feel ashamed?" Liang Dachao, seeing that Jiang Feng was unfazed, started to hurl insults.
By saying this, he implied that Jiang Feng was a kept man by Cheng Shaoqing.
Cheng Shaoqing immediately got angry, "Liang Dachao, watch your mouth."
"Shaoqing, I'm not talking about you. Why are you getting angry? Is it worth it for a guy like him?" Liang Dachao retorted angrily.
"Jiang Feng is my friend. Insulting him is the same as insulting me. Behave yourself, or I'll leave immediately," Cheng Shaoqing said angrily, not buying into his nonsense.
Liang Dachao gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger. To win over a beauty, one must have patience, especially for a great beauty like Cheng Shaoqing.
"Hmph, I'll get you eventually, and then we'll see if you still act so high and mighty," Liang Dachao thought to himself.
"Isn't this Cheng Shaoqing? What a coincidence." At this moment, a woman walked over, breaking the awkwardness among them.
Cheng Shaoqing recognized her; she was a fellow schoolmate from Meilong Middle School.
It was none other than Chu Qingqing, one of the four school beauties of Meilong Middle School.
The four school beauties included Xiao Wanjun, Cheng Shaoqing, Chu Qingqing, and Liu Xu'er. Jiang Feng had already met three of them, only Liu Xu'er remained unseen, who was likely also very beautiful.
Chu Qingqing had a seductive charm, with a sharp look in her eyes, clearly not an easy woman to deal with.
Liang Dachao had also invited her to the party. She had dressed up specially, wearing a tight purple dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure, making any man who saw her feel parched.
"Yes, quite a coincidence," Cheng Shaoqing forced a smile.
She wasn't very familiar with Chu Qingqing, having only seen her a few times at school and never spoken to her.
Chu Qingqing glanced at Jiang Feng, seeing his elegant demeanor and excellent aura, she wondered which family's young master he was, as she hadn't seen him before.
She couldn't help but ask, "Who might this be?"
"Hello, I'm Jiang Feng, we should be classmates," Jiang Feng introduced himself.
Chu Qingqing had heard of his name and had seen her from afar at school, so she wasn't unfamiliar with this school beauty.
In fact, Jiang Feng had hardly interacted with these people in his previous life, only hearing about them. He knew little about their lives and personalities.
"Jiang Feng?" Chu Qingqing was taken aback, suddenly recalling the name.
"Are you the timid, poor student Jiang Feng? The one who got dumped by Xiao Wanjun in front of the whole class last week and became the biggest joke in the school?" Chu Qingqing asked.
"Yes, that's me," Jiang Feng replied with a smile, not getting angry.
Chu Qingqing didn't know Jiang Feng personally before, only hearing his name. So she didn't recognize him at first. Now, hearing Jiang Feng's own admission, she was surprised, "I couldn't tell at all. This is nothing like what I heard. Was someone deliberately making you out to be worthless?"

"Maybe," Jiang Feng laughed.
Jiang Feng's response was calm and composed, not at all like the pathetic figure she had heard about.
So Chu Qingqing took another few glances at Jiang Feng, becoming increasingly curious about him.
"Actually, it's normal for Xiao Wanjun to leave you. I could tell long ago that she's not a stable woman. It's better that she's gone," Chu Qingqing suddenly said.
Her words were a bit abrupt.
Jiang Feng was taken aback, then said, "Maybe, but I've already forgotten about her. She won't have anything to do with me in the future."
"Great, I admire people who can let go easily. That's what a real man does," Chu Qingqing praised.
"Thank you," Jiang Feng replied.
At this moment, Liang Dachao's face had already darkened, looking like a donkey's face, full of displeasure.
Because now even Chu Qingqing was praising Jiang Feng, he felt very resentful.
Could Jiang Feng really be that outstanding, attracting women's attention wherever he went? He was unconvinced.
Liang Dachao coldly said, "Alright, everyone, stop chatting. The show is about to start."
Then Liang Dachao turned to entertain other guests.
Jiang Feng chuckled to himself, knowing that Liang Dachao wouldn't let this slide and might come up with more tricks to make things difficult.
Chu Qingqing also sensed something was off with Liang Dachao. She was a meticulous person, and seeing how close Cheng Shaoqing and Jiang Feng were, she immediately understood the reason.
Everyone knew that Liang Dachao was pursuing Cheng Shaoqing. Now, seeing Cheng Shaoqing so close to Jiang Feng, it was natural for Liang Dachao to be angry.
Moreover, her earlier praise for Jiang Feng only made Liang Dachao even angrier.
Chu Qingqing smiled faintly and murmured, "This is interesting. There might be a good show to watch later."
Jiang Feng and Cheng Shaoqing then took some snacks together. Jiang Feng picked up a glass of red wine, gently swirled it, took a sip, and thought, "Not bad, good wine."
Jiang Feng noticed that Cheng Shaoqing only took some drinks and sweets, eating quietly and gracefully.
"Wait here, I'll be right back," Jiang Feng suddenly said.
"Okay," Cheng Shaoqing nodded.
Jiang Feng walked into the crowd and returned shortly, holding something in his hand.
A French cake!
Yes, Jiang Feng had gone to find a French cake for Cheng Shaoqing.
He had heard Liang Dachao mention that Cheng Shaoqing liked French cakes, and seeing her pick only sweets earlier, he had this idea.
Cheng Shaoqing stood still for a moment, looking at the French cake Jiang Feng brought, feeling a sudden surge of emotion. Such thoughtful care was rare for her.
Even if it happened, it was usually from people she didn't like, acting out of misplaced affection.
But Jiang Feng's gesture didn't make her uncomfortable at all; in fact, it brought her a bit of joy.
"Thank you." Cheng Shaoqing took the French cake and took a big bite, looking very satisfied.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Suddenly, Liang Dachao's voice rang out.
Liang Dachao said, "First of all, thank you all for coming and giving me the honor of attending this party. I have something to show you."
Liang Dachao clapped three times, and soon a beautiful woman appeared, holding a silver-white briefcase.
Click!
The woman opened the briefcase, and a dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire hall.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the item inside the briefcase.
It was a uniquely designed blue gemstone necklace. The main part of the gemstone was heart-shaped, with a small star beside it, creating a striking visual impact.
Such an unconventional design was rarely seen in traditional jewelry, making it extremely rare.
Combined with the inherent value of the blue sapphire, this piece was undoubtedly worth a fortune.
"Everyone, please take a look. This is our company's latest creation, made from materials sourced from Africa and personally designed by Leffel Abate. It combines the latest trends and avant-garde elements and is named 'Star of Love.'"
"This piece is being shown for the first time today, so everyone can get a sneak peek. I hope you all like it."
"Of course, if anyone wants to own this piece, it will be auctioned on the spot, starting at three million, with the highest bidder winning."
"Alright, please enjoy."
Liang Dachao briefly introduced the jewelry, then let everyone admire it.
Everyone was completely captivated, gathering around to admire it, and those with some knowledge began to discuss it.
