After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 766 - 415 Equivalent Exchange_2

Chen Feng isn't the kind of man who agrees just because a pretty woman asks him for help. Simply put, Chen Feng isn't a simp; he's more of an iron-willed person. So, he rejected her outright, without any hesitation or the concerns that other men might have about saving face.

Honestly speaking, his relationship with her isn't that deep. At most, they're just ordinary friends and business partners.

"You didn't even listen to what kind of help I need, and you're already rushing to refuse. That's not very gentlemanly, is it?" Tang Xinyi said with a bit of anger. This time, she was genuinely upset.

Chen Feng's straightforward refusal left her feeling embarrassed, as if she didn't matter at all to him.

"Alright then, go ahead and tell me, what kind of help do you need from me?" Chen Feng asked casually. After all, they're partners now in business, so Chen Feng didn't want to strain their relationship further.

Tang Xinyi realized by now that Chen Feng was indeed a man of strong will. Even someone as influential as Huo Jindong tried hard to persuade him, practically offering him money for nothing, yet he remained unmoved.

She initially believed she could quickly establish a good relationship with Chen Feng using her feminine charm, but now it seemed he wasn't swayed by that either. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Tang Xinyi didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Mr. Huo thinks highly of you, and I'd like you to do me a favor by asking him to make room for me in his private equity project this time. Count me in. I know I don't have much capital, but if I grit my teeth, I can come up with a billion."

Chen Feng refused without a second thought, "I really can't help with that. At the dinner, I gave him no face at all by directly rejecting his overtures. Now, you want me to rely on the same face? That's like asking me to serve myself up for a slap. Besides, didn't he say he was interested in investing in that Weitian Technology at the dinner? You should team up with Tao Yaoyang and follow through on the investment."

Tang Xinyi smiled wryly, "These favored micro-innovation enterprises don't just accept money from any person or institution. They are more focused on capital that can bring significant support to their company in the future, ideally helping them go public. So, my kind of personal investment might not be accepted. Additionally, Mr. Huo did express optimism about that company at the dinner, but it's not certain that he will truly invest in it. To be safe, I'd prefer to directly participate in his current private equity project. Besides, similar financing projects are often exclusive, meaning small investors like me are often excluded."

Chen Feng understood but frowned and said, "Then you should approach Tao Yaoyang, not me. It seems from what I can tell that Tao Yaoyang might have a direct hand in his project this time."

Tang Xinyi smiled wryly again, "You know Tao Yaoyang's status too, right? How could I compare to him? Since you didn't accept Mr. Huo's offer, both of us acting as introducers didn't achieve anything. Tao Yaoyang, due to his background, might still get to be part of it, but I certainly can't. He definitely won't bring me along."

Chen Feng thought it through, but he was curious and asked, "Are you really that optimistic about his investment project? What if you lose money?"

Tang Xinyi explained to Chen Feng, "Over the years, the investment projects that Huo Jindong favors, although not a hundred percent hits, have brought remarkable returns whenever they succeed. For instance, Tuan Mei and Youjueke have brought hundreds of times the profit to his investment. It was his exceptional investment foresight that attracted more and more hot money. Many people try various ways to throw money at him, yet his standards are high, and he doesn't take just anyone's money."

Chen Feng glanced at her, teasing slightly, "You sure know him well."

"I'm a businesswoman, so I usually pay attention to financial news around me. Someone as influential as Huo Jindong is well-known to anyone who even slightly follows the financial market."

"Sorry, I really can't help you with this. Huo Jindong might be someone you're all trying to curry favor with, but as far as I'm concerned, I prefer to not get too involved with big shots like him. It's because I dislike trouble."

Chen Feng rejected her firmly once again.

This time, Tang Xinyi wasn't upset but asked straightforwardly, "What would it take for you to agree to help me? I'll do whatever I'm able to."

Chen Feng turned his head to look at her, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I think you should try reaching out to Tao Yaoyang. You came together, he got benefits, you should get something too."

Tang Xinyi shook her head, "If I truly lower my face to beg him, he might help, but I'm unwilling."

"Why?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

Tang Xinyi said softly, "He always wanted to sleep with me. But I have no good feelings towards him, and you know his reputation with women isn't great. Women around him frequently change. I'm genuinely worried he might have some kind of disease."

Her words were quite blunt, leaving Chen Feng slightly stunned before he laughed, "You sure are brave. Aren't you afraid I'll pass your words to him?"

Tang Xinyi confidently said, "You're not that kind of person."

Indeed, Chen Feng wasn't one to snitch.

"Thanks for the compliment, but like I said earlier, I really can't help with this matter."

Tang Xinyi fell silent and focused on driving.

It wasn't long before the car turned into a small lane, clearly not the road to Red Villa Bay.

"Where are you going? Weren't you going to drop me home first?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.

Tang Xinyi still didn't reply, continuing to drive. Soon, the car arrived at the underground garage of a high-end residential area. It looked like a premium neighborhood, with excellent security measures and advanced facilities, allowing vehicles to be automatically recognized.

After the car parked in a spot, Tang Xinyi turned to Chen Feng and said, "I know you're straightforward, so I'll be upfront with you too. We're both adults. I know there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. So, I'm planning an even exchange with you. Stay the night at my place tonight, and tomorrow you help me call Huo Jindong and let me join his investment project. Deal?"

This seemed quite reasonable and fair!

But is Chen Feng the sort of guy that can be easily seduced?

Just as Chen Feng was about to refuse this deal, Tang Xinyi spoke in a soft tone, "I have an outfit and jewelry of Consort Qi at home, I can wear them for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but take a sharp breath, remembering how he once, like countless other men, had been deeply enamored with Consort Qi in his youth. Recalling the hormonal stirrings of those teenage years and the fond memories Consort Qi left him with, Chen Feng found it hard to say no.

Seeing Chen Feng's expression, Tang Xinyi was secretly delighted and added another touch, smiling brightly at him and said seductively, "Emperor, let me serve you tonight."

With such lines, such an acting style, such an expression, and the melodious voice of Consort Qi, who could resist?
