Chapter 32 A Woman Changes Greatly After Turning 18

Chen Feng wasn’t lying when he said he had a classmate in the Environmental Protection Bureau.

It was just that this female classmate had basically not spoken to Chen Feng during high school, and Chen Feng didn’t know if she would give him face.

He found her directly from the class group, edited a message, and sent it, inviting her to lunch and asking for her help with something.

After waiting for a few minutes, he received a reply. The other party readily agreed to his invitation.

This was really beyond Chen Feng’s expectations.

In his previous impression, this female classmate was a bookworm, introverted, and not very communicative with her classmates.

Also, because she was short, she sat in the front row for many years, while Chen Feng was taller and sat in the back row for many years. In addition, there was a difference between men and women, and they had only spoken a few times in high school.

At first, Chen Feng even suspected whether she still remembered him, this old classmate.

But now it seemed that she obviously still remembered him.

Chen Feng immediately sent her the location of the meal, a decent restaurant in the county, specializing in stir-fried dishes. It was not far from their old school. In high school, a few wealthy classmates had held birthday parties or treated guests there.

The time was set for twelve o’clock noon.

When he arrived in the county town, it was about nine o’clock. It was still early, so Chen Feng went to see the new house he had bought, considering whether to decorate it.

However, in the end, he gave up this plan.

It wasn’t to save money, but because he didn’t know his brother and sister-in-law’s preferences. If he decorated it and they didn’t like it, it would be better not to.

Besides, if he died, the money he had left would be enough for his family to decorate.

The location here was good. Down the elevator, out the back gate of the community, across a one-way street, was the large shopping mall. Shopping was very convenient, and there was a large supermarket inside with fresh vegetables.

The nearest kindergarten, primary school, and junior high school were only a ten-minute walk away.

He wandered around the shopping mall for more than an hour and didn’t even finish.

Passing by the shop that sold the electric foot bath yesterday, Chen Feng bought another one and gave it to his parents.

After that, he went to the supermarket inside and bought a lot of things, food and daily necessities, as well as toys for his two little nieces.

In this way, time passed quickly.

At about eleven o’clock, he arrived at the restaurant. The exterior decoration was not much different from that of his high school days, and it could be considered an old brand.

The restaurant’s business was good. It wasn’t even mealtime yet, but it was already seven or eight-tenths full. He got a private room, ordered a pot of tea first, and drank it slowly while sending the private room number to his old classmate, Fang Xiaoyue.

He thought that she would not arrive until twelve o’clock at the earliest, but she came a little after eleven-thirty.

The other party politely knocked on the door first. After Chen Feng said “come in,” she pushed the door open and came in.

When Chen Feng saw her in a blue professional suit with a ponytail, exuding a clean and neat temperament, he really didn’t recognize her at first.

First of all, she didn’t wear glasses anymore, and secondly, she was much taller. In high school, she looked to be at most 1.55 meters tall, and was relatively thin, wearing thick myopia glasses. Apart from her good academic performance, she had no sense of presence at all.

Now she looked to be at least 1.6 meters tall, and her temperament was completely different from the bookworm of the past. She had become very confident, which probably made her look like a beauty now, making people feel very comfortable.

To put it simply, she now had the feeling of an ugly duckling turning into a swan.

“Chen Feng, you don’t recognize me, do you?” Fang Xiaoyue was very satisfied with Chen Feng’s surprised expression, with a smile on her face.

Back then, she really had no sense of presence in the class. Not to mention in the eyes of the male students, it was actually about the same in the eyes of the female students. At that time, only a few roommates and her deskmate had communicated with her.

Now, almost twelve years have passed. A woman changes greatly after turning 18, and that’s just how it is.

“Fang Xiaoyue, I really didn’t recognize you. You’ve really changed a lot.” Chen Feng also smiled and joked, then got up to greet her.

“Thank you for the compliment.” The current Fang Xiaoyue was completely different from her introverted self back then. She said gracefully, “Back then, I was the famous bookworm in the class. Not many of you boys had any impression of me.”

Chen Feng did not deny it, but just smiled and led her to sit opposite him.

The two of them were classmates for three years in high school, and they were in the same class before the classes were divided in the second year.

So, even though they didn’t have much communication in high school, when they talked about high school, they still had a lot of topics, and they quickly became close.

Fang Xiaoyue took the initiative to mention Wang Fang, saying that she had a good relationship with Wang Fang now and often went out shopping and eating together.

When Chen Feng heard her mention Wang Fang, he suddenly understood.

No wonder she agreed to his dinner invitation so readily. However, Chen Feng was not disgusted by this.

In today’s society, people are originally very realistic creatures.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it is not Wang Fang’s reason. The other party may also have agreed based on their classmate relationship.

The two of them chatted for more than ten minutes first, and then ordered food.

After all the dishes were served, the two of them ate and chatted for more than half an hour before Chen Feng told her about the business, asking her to help check on the matter of their car detailing shop being ordered to move.

Fang Xiaoyue readily agreed and said she would definitely help.

As a result, Chen Feng’s impression of her greatly improved.

The two of them ate for more than an hour. Because she had to go to work in the afternoon, they did not continue.

Before parting, Fang Xiaoyue took the initiative to say that she would help check in the afternoon and would notify him as soon as she had news.

Fang Xiaoyue did what she said. Less than two hours after they separated, she gave Chen Feng the news.

His car detailing shop was indeed reported. Fang Xiaoyue did not reveal the specific name of the informant, but she also hinted a little, and Chen Feng of course knew.

In addition, according to the regulations, his car detailing shop should have gone to the Environmental Protection Bureau for approval and obtained a permit before opening. Of course, most similar shops have not done so now.

But now that Chen Feng’s family’s shop has been reported, they must do it. The most important thing is to do a good job of sewage treatment. As long as the sewage treatment is done well, it doesn’t matter even if the surrounding area is real farmland.

Chen Feng also asked about the materials and procedures needed to apply for a permit, and Fang Xiaoyue answered them one by one.

So, Chen Feng first went home to get the various materials, and then went to the Environmental Protection Bureau to apply for the permit.

Fang Xiaoyue accompanied him throughout the process, which of course made it much smoother.

Fang Xiaoyue said that the permit could be obtained in five days at the earliest, and someone would go to the site for inspection at that time. Therefore, it was best for Chen Feng to do the sewage system first. For this, she also introduced a company that specialized in this.

Chen Feng contacted this company by phone. After consultation, the other party quickly said that they could send someone to the site to check and then make a budget.

By the time Chen Feng returned to his hometown, the other party had already sent someone over.

This sewage project was not large, and the other party’s price was also very reasonable. The design and construction only cost 50,000 yuan.

Chen Feng and his brother Chen Rui agreed without thinking.

Five days later, the sewage project was completed. In the future, the wastewater here would be directly discharged into the sewer, so of course it would not pollute the surrounding farmland.

Besides, the surrounding area could not be considered real farmland.

On this day, Chen Feng also received a call from Fang Xiaoyue, saying that the permit approval was blocked and asked him to go there.

Chen Feng immediately drove over.
