Chapter 164: Siding with the Uncle

After dinner, Chen Feng went back to his room and watched TV for a while. Then his phone started ringing with notifications from several women.

Chen Feng took a look and saw that there was nothing important, so he was too lazy to reply.

As for whether it was impolite to not reply, Chen Feng really didn’t care much.

He couldn’t waste a lot of his time chatting with these women on WeChat.

He was actually still single now, so he should have the hobbies of a single man, such as reading novels and scrolling through short videos.

Time passed quickly when doing these two things. Unconsciously, it was ten o’clock at night, and he was ready to go to sleep. He now went to bed early and got up early, usually falling asleep before eleven o’clock.

People are always like this. Only after getting sick will they truly value their health and adjust their work and rest schedule.

Chen Feng was also like this. He tried his best not to stay up late anymore.

He just didn’t know if his life could be prolonged by maintaining and persisting like this.

Just as he was about to take off his clothes and go to sleep, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that the number was actually his little uncle’s. He answered it casually.

“Ah Feng, come to the county town now. I have a few friends who want to meet you.”

His little uncle, Zhao Guozhong, said to him in the tone of an elder.

Hearing his deliberately pretentious tone, Chen Feng knew that there must be someone around him, and it should be the few friends he mentioned.

Of course, Chen Feng wouldn’t go to the county town to meet his bad friends at this late hour. He directly refused, “I’m not interested in meeting them. I’m going to sleep.”

Chen Feng’s tone was not very good either. Zhao Guozhong on the other end continued to speak in a pretentious tone, “Ah, what, you’re in the city. What are you doing in the city? Oh, paying New Year’s visits and giving gifts. Yes, I know, I know. Then next time. That’s it for now. I’ll hang up first.”

Zhao Guozhong on the other end said this self-directed and self-acted and then hung up the phone.

Chen Feng was speechless for a while. He held his phone for a while before putting it down.

He was also really impressed with his little uncle. It was a pity that he didn’t become an actor with such good acting skills.

Just as he was about to continue taking off his clothes, his phone rang again.

Chen Feng thought it was still his little uncle. He picked it up and saw that it was Wu Mengting’s. He answered it.

“Why didn’t you reply to my WeChat message?”

As soon as the call was connected, Wu Mengting’s voice, full of concern and complaint, came through.

“Oh, my phone was on silent,” Chen Feng casually made up a lie and changed the subject, “Is there anything?”

“Nothing. I was just asking when it would be appropriate for me to go to your house to pay a New Year’s visit.”

Chen Feng said, “Let’s wait a few more days. My whole family is going to my aunt’s house in Tianzhou to pay a New Year’s visit tomorrow. We’ll be back in at least two days. After we get back, we still have to have a banquet at home to entertain relatives and friends, which will also take at least a day. Let’s see in three days. I’ll let you know.”

“Alright then. You can let me know then,” Wu Mengting was a little disappointed. She was originally thinking of going to Chen Feng’s house to pay a New Year’s visit early, and then stay at Chen Feng’s house until she went to Xiuzhou with Chen Feng.

“Yes, that’s it then. I’m going to sleep. Aren’t you going to sleep yet?”

“Are you going to bed so early now?”

“Of course. Go to bed early, get up early, and exercise early. I try to go to bed early and not stay up late now.”

“Oh, then you go to sleep. I’m going to sleep too. Good night.”

“Good night.”

The two quickly hung up the phone.

Chen Feng now maintained a certain close relationship with Wu Mengting. The reasons were somewhat complicated. Liking her was one aspect. Another aspect was that Chen Feng wanted her to hold his company shares on his behalf after he died, and even hoped that she could take care of his parents after he died.

But he was also afraid that their relationship would be too close, which would affect his future inheritance distribution.

If the two became a real couple, according to his principles, he would definitely have to leave her some of his inheritance after he died. Not to mention half, at least a few million or a Xiuzhou villa.

Otherwise, Chen Feng would feel sorry for her, and she would definitely feel that she had lost a lot.

More importantly, Chen Feng himself was not sure if he could control the degree of their relationship after they became a couple.

Otherwise, it was possible for a couple to become strangers or even enemies. In addition, it might also make her lose her balance of mind, thus affecting his post-mortem planning.

If the two became a married couple, it would affect the future inheritance distribution even more. So, Chen Feng couldn’t possibly marry her, nor could he marry any other woman.

Most of his inheritance would definitely be left to his parents. It was just that considering his family situation and his parents’ situation, Chen Feng didn’t want to directly leave most of the cash to them.

If he did so, it was very likely to harm them.

It was not a good thing for a poor person to suddenly become rich. Not to mention that others would be envious and jealous, and even have the idea of killing you for your money. Just in the family, if his parents suddenly had tens of millions, their mentality would definitely be a little unbalanced, and his brother and sister-in-law’s thoughts would definitely become different.

This was human nature. If too many monetary factors were mixed in with family affection, it would quickly change its flavor.

The best way was to set up a family trust fund like those rich people and big families abroad, and hand over this fund to a professional team to manage and operate. Family members could only receive living expenses from this fund according to a certain amount.

Unfortunately, this kind of family trust fund was already very mature abroad, but it was rare in China. In the final analysis, it was a financial problem, and also a problem of trust and system.

In foreign countries, such funds were supervised and constrained by multiple institutions and relevant laws and regulations. But in China, these were not yet perfect.

As a rich person, you take out millions, tens of millions, or even more money and hand it over to a professional team to manage. There are definitely not many people in China who do this.

Without necessary long-term supervision and constraints, if these money were handed over to others to manage, they would be embezzled sooner or later.

So, finding someone you absolutely trust to hold the shares of a few companies that can make long-term profits was a good alternative.

Wu Mengting was the person he had chosen now.

Therefore, he must have a good relationship with her, but not too close.

At least this was the situation at present. Whether their relationship would go further in the future, or whether she was really suitable to be his posthumous spokesperson, still needed observation and testing.

Chen Feng put down his phone again and finally took off his coat.

At this time, his phone rang several times in a row. It was a WeChat message from Guo Mengyao. Chen Feng opened it and took a look.

[I sent you a WeChat message in the afternoon, but you haven’t replied yet. What do you mean?]

[Did you fall into a latrine?]

[I’m angry.gif]

Seeing these few messages, Chen Feng couldn’t help but find it funny. Seeing her like this, if he didn’t reply, she would definitely call.

So, Chen Feng typed: [My girlfriend knows about you. She’s jealous and told me not to talk to you.]

Guo Mengyao sent a questioning emoji and at the same time added text: [Didn’t Yujiao know about me long ago? What is she jealous of?]

[Not her, it’s my girlfriend. I met her in Xiuzhou. She’s from Huizhou.]

[Damn! Really? Why didn’t you tell me you had a girlfriend? What about Mengting and Yujiao? Do they know?]

[Mengting knows my girlfriend. Yujiao doesn’t, but she knows she exists.]

[You’re really a scumbag!] Guo Mengyao sent a fiery emoji.

[Damn! Thank you for the compliment.]
[You’re awesome! You have a girlfriend, but you’re still fooling around.]

[How am I fooling around? It’s clearly you and them who are fooling around with me.]

Guo Mengyao immediately sent a middle finger emoji.

Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but smile. The reason why he said he had a girlfriend was mainly to pour cold water on her, so that she wouldn’t pester him every day, or even fall in love with him. That would be too bad.

[Alright, I’m going to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow to run. Good night.]

[You’re going to bed so early? It’s not even eleven o’clock yet.]

[Go to bed early, get up early, and be healthy. You should also go to bed early. I’ll find you in a couple of days.]

Guo Mengyao sent a shy emoji and asked, [Then when exactly are you coming to find me? Is tonight okay? I miss you.]

Damn! So direct?
Chen Feng was a little surprised and also a little itchy. But he was still very principled. He said he would go to sleep, so he would go to sleep.

[Alright, I’m going to my aunt’s house in Tianzhou to pay a New Year’s visit tomorrow. I’ll be back in two days. I’ll find you then.]

[Sigh, alright then.]

[Going to sleep, good night.]

Chen Feng put down his phone for the third time. Just as he was about to take off his pants, his phone rang again.

Damn it, you’re deliberately trying to keep me from sleeping.

He picked up his phone for the fourth time and saw that it was his little uncle again. He wanted to not answer, but after thinking about it, he was his uncle after all, so he answered.

“Ah Feng, I’m in trouble. Come to the Jinxia Nianhua Nightclub to back me up.”

Chen Feng was speechless and asked unhappily, “Did you get into a fight?”

Zhao Guozhong immediately denied, “No. I’m a civilized person. How could I get into a fight?”

“Then what’s going on?” Chen Feng frowned and asked.

Zhao Guozhong said with some embarrassment, “It’s like this. A bar girl opened two bottles of foreign wine for me. It’s actually 8,800 a bottle. Two bottles are 17,000. Isn’t this a rip-off? Now they won’t let me leave.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng was immediately furious. He didn’t like this little uncle, but he couldn’t just watch him being bullied.

What kind of wine costs 8,800 a bottle?
“Alright, I’ll be right there. Where’s the specific address?”

“Jinxia Nianhua Nightclub, on Lisheng Road. You should know it. This nightclub is very famous in our county.”

Chen Feng had never heard of this Jinxia Nianhua Nightclub before, but he knew it was not a decent place.

He knew Lisheng Road, so he said, “Alright, I know. I’ll be right there. Don’t get into a conflict with anyone now. Just say you’re calling a friend to send money.”

“Yes, yes, of course I know. The other party has several nightclub bouncers. Of course I won’t go head-to-head with them.”

Chen Feng hung up the phone, put on his coat again, and hurried out the door.

At this time, there was no one downstairs, which saved Chen Feng an explanation.

He got in the car and drove out. More than ten minutes later, Chen Feng successfully found this Jinxia Nianhua Nightclub. There was a light sign at the street corner, and their light sign was also very conspicuous.

After parking the car and getting out, Chen Feng took out his phone and called his little uncle while hurrying into the nightclub.

The call was connected. He asked for the specific private room number, and Chen Feng soon found it.

Two big men in security uniforms were standing at the door of the private room. As soon as Chen Feng came over, they were stopped.

“There’s someone inside. You can’t go in,” one of them said.

“The person inside is my friend. I brought the money.”

After the two security guards looked at each other, the other one nodded and said, “Then you can go in.”

Chen Feng pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside was a medium-sized private room, filled with more than a dozen people sitting or standing.

Four men and four women were sitting on the sofa, including his little uncle, Zhao Guozhong. Four people were standing, including two middle-aged men in black suits and two tall men in security uniforms.

“Ah Feng, you’re here? Did you bring the money?” Seeing Chen Feng come in, Zhao Guozhong was overjoyed and immediately stood up from the sofa.

Hearing his words, Chen Feng couldn’t help but frown. He had said he would bring the money just to let him delay. He didn’t really come here to pay for him.

“What’s going on?”

Chen Feng asked in a deep voice.

Before Zhao Guozhong could speak, a flat-headed middle-aged man who was standing spoke up, “You’re the one they called to pay, right? Then just pay the bill for their consumption tonight. It’s a total of 23,650 yuan. Let’s round it down to 23,600.”

This man was in his mid-thirties, with dark skin, triangular eyes, and a cold and fierce expression. At a glance, he was not a good person.

At this time, he was calm and composed, in control of the whole situation, and looked very imposing.

“Where’s the bill? Let me see it,” Chen Feng looked at him without changing his expression, and his face was also very calm.

The man was slightly surprised to see Chen Feng. He waved his hand to the side. The slightly younger bald man next to him came over and handed a consumption bill to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took it and looked at it. It was really an eye-opener. It really said that two bottles of Ace of Spades champagne cost 17,600 yuan, which was 8,800 yuan a bottle.

Compared to this, the other things like the deluxe fruit platter for a few hundred yuan were not worth mentioning. In addition, they had each ordered a bar girl.

“What is this Ace of Spades champagne? I’ve never seen it in my life. It’s rare to see it in our broken county. Let me see what it looks like.”

Chen Feng said as he walked to the sofa and looked at the wine bottles on the coffee table.

Among them were two golden wine bottles, with beautiful and exquisite shapes, exuding a sense of wealth. They should be this Ace of Spades.

But he still had to confirm.

“Is this the wine that costs 8,800 a bottle?”

Chen Feng picked up one of the wine bottles and asked Zhao Guozhong.

Zhao Guozhong nodded and said, “I didn’t expect this foreign wine to be so expensive. This woman didn’t make it clear at the beginning.”

Zhao Guozhong pointed to the bar girl sitting next to him with an innocent face. She was in her mid-twenties, with heavy makeup, barely a 70. Her chest was full, but it might not be real.

“Boss, you were the one who said to get two bottles of the most expensive wine. I said the most expensive was Ace of Spades, and then you said okay, two bottles. How did I know you were pretending to be rich and bragging? How can you blame me?”

The bar girl had an innocent and mocking look on her face.

Zhao Guozhong glared at her angrily and said, “If you had told me it was 8,800 a bottle, only a fool would order it.”

Fine! He said it. He was obviously a fool. He was so easily fooled by a bar girl.
