After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1125 - 593: Purposeful Networking (Part 2)

Peng Qirui's words were a bit too deep given their acquaintance was still shallow.

However, one has to admit, by sharing these thoughts with Chen Feng, he was showing a level of trust that could quickly bridge the gap between them.

Chen Feng followed up with his own comment: "So it seems, being a Crown Prince isn't that easy for you."

"Exactly, people just see me as some kind of Crown Prince, living a glamorous life, but in reality, it's not like that at all."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "But you really are living a glamorous life. Everywhere you go, people must look up to you."

Peng Qirui could only shake his head with a wry smile upon hearing this.

Chen Feng thought he was being a little pretentious. At his age, being the vice president of a group worth hundreds of billions, what more could he want?

If he still felt unaccomplished or wronged, what would those people in their fifties or sixties still working construction think?

"Alright, enough about that. Come on, let's officially become friends, I'll scan you."

Peng Qirui seemed to realize the importance of moderation and immediately dropped the topic, taking out his phone to add Chen Feng as a friend.

Of course, Chen Feng couldn't refuse, so he opened his phone to let Peng Qirui add him on WeChat, but made sure to block him from viewing his Moments.

As they put away their phones, the waiter began to serve the two dishes they had ordered.

Peng Qirui enthusiastically introduced the two dishes to Chen Feng: bluefin tuna and handmade seafood noodles.

Chen Feng tried them. They were okay, but he didn't find them particularly delicious. Maybe it was just a matter of personal taste; he personally preferred Chinese food.

After finishing the four dishes, Peng Qirui finally started discussing yesterday's incident with Chen Feng.

"Chairman Chen, can you tell me why you advised me to change cars yesterday?"

Chen Feng was prepared for this question and asked back with a smile, "Would you believe me if I said I can read faces?"

Peng Qirui nodded seriously: "I believe you."

Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh, "I'm just kidding. I can't read faces. What I can tell you is that I have a sort of special sixth sense, which passively allows me to sense potential danger around people. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, there's no guarantee.

So, I usually don't tell people about it because it's not always accurate. Actually, when I told you yesterday, I regretted it, thinking you'd definitely consider me crazy."

Hearing this, Peng Qirui felt a bit embarrassed. To be honest, he initially thought Chen Feng was crazy yesterday and even called him crazy.

He wouldn't admit it now, of course, so he just smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. I just found it a bit strange and confusing, but I still listened to your warning a bit. After getting in the car, I specifically told the driver to drive safely, and only then did I narrowly escape a mishap, thanks to your warning."

"I wouldn't take credit for that, as long as you don't blame me for being a jinx."

Peng Qirui quickly laughed along, saying, "How could I? I'm not the kind of person who forgets the people who helped him."

"That's good then. You don't need to thank me, I was just making an offhand remark, it's good that it helped."

"It definitely helped, it indirectly saved my life."

"It's not as exaggerated as you're saying. Escaping that unscathed was your destiny, it didn't have much to do with me."

Seeing Chen Feng's insistence on not taking credit, Peng Qirui's impression of him improved.

"Can you tell me more about this amazing sixth sense of yours? Can it only sense danger or can it predict other things?" Peng Qirui asked with feigned curiosity.

Chen Feng explained, "As I said earlier, this sixth sense isn't always accurate. Plus, it's passive; I can't actively sense things. There's no set time for when it will emerge in my mind."

Peng Qirui was somewhat skeptical, but since Chen Feng had explained it this way, he just chose to believe it and said with feigned regret:

"That's such a pity. If you could actively sense it, then this ability would be incredible. Even so, you still qualify as someone with a special talent. Just that others might not believe it."

"Yes, even though I can foresee danger, I can't guarantee it's 100% accurate. If I tell people initially, they won't believe me and might think I'm crazy. Even if proven right, they might blame me for jinxing them, or even think I set them up. Hence, generally, I don't go around warning people, especially strangers."

"Then why did you proactively warn me yesterday?" Peng Qirui asked with curiosity.

Chen Feng gave him a curious look and then straightforwardly said, "I was afraid if something happened, it would be hard to finalize this deal for our company."

Peng Qirui was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Chairman Chen, you really have a sense of humor."

Chen Feng laughed along, but inside, he realized he might have actually thought that way at the time.

This settled the matter for now, and the two continued to chat about other topics, from various places, current events, entertainment gossip, and more.

Peng Qirui came across as knowledgeable, easily recalling many people and events, and had a knack for storytelling, narrating clearly and with quite a bit of charm.

Chen Feng regarded him as a storyteller and upon hearing about people and events unknown to ordinary folks, he felt he had gained some knowledge.

Once they finished the ten or so dishes, it was almost 7 PM, and they wrapped up their meal.

The two left the western restaurant together, with Peng Qirui's driver and assistant waiting in the lobby. Upon seeing him leave, they immediately stood up to follow him, making quite a scene.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng was alone, which made him seem like a bit of a loner in comparison.

However, Chen Feng didn't mind at all.

In the country, many wealthy and knowledgeable individuals generally avoid ostentation unless it's for business reasons or safety concerns, where they would bring a large entourage.

Keeping a low profile and accumulating wealth quietly is ingrained in many people.

Especially for wealthy individuals who started from scratch and have no backing, they avoid being high-profile and arrogant.

Because this is the way to protect their wealth and ensure safety.

It's just that some people can't keep a low profile, their capabilities don't allow it.

Take Chen Feng for example, with a true elite second-generation like Peng Qirui, the Crown Prince of the Da Yun Group, deliberately inviting him to dinner to establish a connection.

As they exited the restaurant, Chen Feng walked side by side with Peng Qirui, while Peng Qirui's driver and assistant consciously fell behind, following them from behind, highlighting the stature of Peng Qirui and Chen Feng even more.
