Chapter 213: You Are Truly a Smart Kid!

Hungry, Shen Fei began to eat rapidly.

Even so, his table manners were still elegant.

After finishing his meal, he drank the last of his tea and then showed interest in the conversation between the two elders.

After some time, Shen Fei went straight to the point.

“Uncle Duan, don’t tell me you invited me here just for the early tea! I don’t believe it!”

“Haha, little Shen, you’ve seen through me! I did want to invite you for tea, but Xiao Xiang here refused! I don’t know if it’s because he finds it embarrassing or what!” Duan Guo’an laughed.

“Uncle Duan, you’re joking! Embarrassing or not, in my opinion, it’s a sign of how open-minded you are! If you were too constrained, people might think you’re just pretending! Besides, we’re not everyone’s cup of tea, so why bother trying to please others?”

Shen Fei paused for a moment and continued, “Life is short. Why should we sacrifice ourselves for people who don’t matter? Living freely and happily is the true essence of life.”

What Shen Fei said came from his experiences in his previous life.

What he didn’t realize was that his words sounded quite odd to Duan Guo’an and Jiang Shengcai.

What Shen Fei said seemed contradictory to his young face and his under-30 age.

If they had only heard his words and not seen him, they might have thought it was some elderly person speaking instead.

But Duan Guo’an wasn’t bothered by it. He shook his head and glanced at Duan Guo Xiang.

“Listen to this, what’s a broad perspective? This is it! If your thoughts were even one percent as good as little Shen’s, I’d be satisfied!”

Upon hearing this, Duan Guo Xiang let out a wry laugh.

“Enough about that. Uncle Duan, what is it that you want to talk to me about today?” Shen Fei asked seriously.

“It’s not a big deal, but I know you can predict the future and read feng shui, so I wanted to ask you to take a look for me!” Duan Guo’an said with an awkward laugh.

Shen Fei was stunned upon hearing this.

What…?

He had no knowledge about such things.

What he’d said before was just based on the memories of his previous life!

Feeling a bit panicked inside, but still composed on the outside, Shen Fei asked, “Uncle Duan, could you elaborate?”

“It’s like this! I want to build a large estate in my hometown, and I was hoping you could check the feng shui for me!” Duan Guo’an explained.

Of course, this wasn’t the real reason Duan Guo’an had invited Shen Fei.

“Have you had other feng shui masters take a look?” Shen Fei asked.

“Yeah, they all said the feng shui is good! But I’m worried they might have said that because of the Duan family’s wealth, so I wanted to ask you to check it out!” Duan Guo’an answered honestly.

Shen Fei smiled and shook his head.

“You don’t need to worry about that!”

Seeing Duan Guo’an’s confused expression, Shen Fei continued, “Uncle Duan, what’s your relationship with Ning Donghai, the chairman of Donghai Group?”

“We’re friends. About ten years ago, when the Duan family just started to rise, I was invited to an event. People there looked down on me, but Ning Donghai didn’t mind. He was willing to chat with me…” Duan Guo’an said candidly.

“In that case, Uncle Duan, you don’t need me to check the feng shui!” Shen Fei cut him off, then added directly, “Life is unpredictable, but the thing with the Ning family, I just happened to guess it right! But you, Uncle Duan, your face tells me you’re someone who enjoys a good life. You may have a few small setbacks, but overall, you’re going to have a smooth ride! Moreover, even if you don’t trust one feng shui master, so many others have said the same thing, so it must be true!”

What Shen Fei said was based on the news he’d heard in his previous life about the Duan family. He knew that in his previous life, the Duan family never had any explosive scandals.

Bankruptcies or failures were not in their future.

“Little Shen, are you sure about this?” Duan Guo’an asked with a smile, seemingly not concerned about the outcome.

“Absolutely! Uncle Duan, just go ahead with it!” Shen Fei said with confidence.

Duan Guo’an nodded, not too surprised.

After all, he knew Shen Fei would likely refuse, but he tried anyway, just in case he succeeded.

“Little Shen, let’s skip that matter! Will you venture into other fields in the future? If so, I hope you can bring Xiao Xiang along! This kid has potential, and I’m not worried if he goes alone. But compared to going alone, I’d prefer he has an older brother to guide him when he’s lost!”

Duan Guo Xiang felt a lump in his throat after hearing this.

Since leaving school and entering society, his father seemed to have always been ahead of him, guiding the way.

As for Shen Fei, his strength needed no mention. Even people like Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yantai, and even the old city official Jiang Anbang, all spoke highly of him. A person like him, who could serve as a powerful ally, would be foolish not to seize the opportunity.

However, Duan Guo Xiang had never found the right opportunity to get closer to Shen Fei.

“Uncle Duan, do you trust me?” Shen Fei asked, a little surprised.

“Yes! Little Shen, I trust you! Although I haven’t read many books, I’ve met many people, and you are definitely the most outstanding among your peers! I really admire you! That’s why I want Xiao Xiang to take hold of this opportunity, so the Duan family can go further!” Duan Guo’an said earnestly.
