After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1213 636: Overflowing Sympathy_2

Jin Xinyan also knew that the reason Chen Feng opened a jewelry store in his hometown was mainly for his parents, so she didn't try to persuade him much.So, she coordinated with Chen Feng to get in touch and communicate with Zhao Shengsheng at the headquarters, and soon received a clear response.

Chen Feng was told that he could visit the headquarters in Shen City for an on-site inspection and detailed discussion soon. He should contact them in advance to be registered and arranged.

Tomorrow is Qin Zhen's engagement party, so he definitely can't go, and the day after tomorrow Chen Feng might not have the time to go to Shen City either, so he'll wait and see, and decide the day after tomorrow.

At dinner, Chen Rui was very interested in Chen Feng's opening of a jewelry store and asked a lot of questions. Clearly, he intended to invest, but he currently didn't have much money and felt embarrassed to bring it up. He hoped Chen Feng would invite him to invest and ideally cover part of the share capital for him.

Chen Feng, of course, understood his meaning and said bluntly, "I can't be sure if this jewelry store will make a profit or a loss. Besides, I've already checked, opening the store will cost at least five million, or even more. So, bro, just forget it."

Chen Rui, a bit frustrated, asked, "Then why do you want to open a jewelry store?"

Chen Feng said, "My main purpose is to preserve the value of my assets. I can't let so much money just sit in the bank collecting interest. That's the most foolish thing to do. It definitely needs to be invested—not necessarily to appreciate in value, but certainly to maintain its value."

"What if you lose money?"

"I've calculated it; at most, I'll lose on rent and labor, which I can afford. Plus, I plan to operate it long-term to build a good reputation. I've already prepared for losses in the first two years. If it's still losing money in the third or fourth year, I'll consider closing it."

After Chen Feng said this, Chen Rui gave up the idea of investing.

Chen Feng can afford the loss, but clearly, Chen Rui cannot.

After dinner, Chen Feng returned to his room and received a call from Qin Zhen, who asked him to report to his house early the next morning to drive guests around, and also reminded him to dress a bit formally.

Chen Feng, of course, couldn't refuse this request and agreed.

Just after ending the call with Qin Zhen, Guo Mengyao called.

Since they parted ways last night, she hadn't sent him a message all day or contacted him, and Chen Feng thought she was mad and would give him the silent treatment for a few days.

"What's up?"

Once the call connected, Guo Mengyao didn't speak first, so Chen Feng asked first.

"Can't I call you if there's no particular reason?"

Guo Mengyao clearly still had some emotions.

Chen Feng didn't indulge her and said with a frown, "Get to the point or I'll hang up."

Guo Mengyao now knows Chen Feng's temper, so she suppressed her anger and said, "After we left dinner last night, Pu Fangye and You Hairong had a conflict. She kicked him and injured him, and he had surgery. Now You Hairong is in police custody. She called me crying, asking me to intercede with Pu Fangye and help cover medical and compensation costs. What do you think, should I agree?"

Hearing this, Chen Feng was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask, "How did she kick Dandelion? Wasn't it those three debt collectors who did it?"

Guo Mengyao said directly, "It was You Hairong who kicked him. She was wearing high heels and kicked Pu Fangye hard in the groin, and also scratched his face pretty badly. It looks like You Hairong might end up in prison. The most important thing for her right now is to seek forgiveness from Pu Fangye, the victim."

Upon learning the details and thinking about the fact that Pu Fangye had surgery, Chen Feng involuntarily gasped quietly.

All guys can understand the kind of pain Pu Fangye must be in.

"Weren't they a couple? How did they suddenly turn on each other?" Chen Feng asked out of curiosity.

They seemed like a pair of secret lovers last night, and now it's turned into this.

"Pu Fangye initially promised to lend her a hundred thousand, but then he backed out and insulted her, and she lost her temper."

After listening, Chen Feng was left speechless. The fact that Pu Fangye, who was as weak as a kitten in a fight, got completely beaten by You Hairong was quite comical.

"You should stay out of her business. After all, you two were just ordinary high school classmates back then, and you didn't have a great relationship, right? It's best to keep your distance from a woman like her."

"I just feel sorry for her now. Last night, after she kicked Pu Fangye, those debt collectors took her directly home, forcing her and her husband to pay the debt. Her husband was furious, but in the end, he scraped together the money to pay off her gambling debts. But he also made it clear that he wants a divorce. Then early this morning, the police came to her house and arrested her, and she might go to prison. Honestly, she's quite pitiful."

Chen Feng said irritably, "She brought this on herself, so what's there to feel sorry about? If you really have sympathy to spare, it's better to feel sorry for those lonely elderly people or the seriously ill who can't afford treatment. They need sympathy and help more than You Hairong does."

Guo Mengyao retorted, "I don't know those elderly people or seriously ill patients, but I know You Hairong; she's my high school classmate. Besides, she's come to me crying, and if I don't help her, no one will."

"You're really being stupid!" Chen Feng scolded unkindly, "Just because she's crying and asking for help, you think you have to help her? You're neither her mom nor her close friend; you're just ordinary classmates. Are you really going to spend so much time and money helping her? Is it really necessary? It's one thing to ask you to intercede with Pu Fangye, but actually helping with medical and compensation fees could cost at least hundreds of thousands. If his functionality is affected, the compensation will be even higher. Are you really willing to foot the bill for her? Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this."

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Guo Mengyao hesitated, "So, I shouldn't get involved?"

"If your conscience bothers you, you can spend some money to hire her a good lawyer. That's the greatest kindness you can show as her classmate. Anything beyond that is unnecessary and makes you look foolish. You should understand the saying that excessive kindness breeds resentment, right?"

Guo Mengyao was silent for a long time before she slowly said, "Let me think about it."

"Think about it my foot!" Chen Feng, a bit annoyed, scolded again, "If you have any sense, do as I say—at most, hire her a lawyer to defend her and try to mitigate her sentence. Why should you care about her so much? She's really not worth pitying."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, okay? Geez, you're the one without any sense."

Even though she got scolded by Chen Feng, she actually felt good inside, thinking that Chen Feng was concerned about her.
