Chapter 214: Identity?

This was a side of Duan Guo’an Shen Fei had never seen before.

The heartfelt words and Duan Guo’an’s serious, sincere expression left the second-generation miner at a loss, causing him to freeze in place.

Was this the same Duan Guo’an he remembered?

Clearly not.

In his memory, Duan Guo’an had always been a carefree, unconcerned person, never bothered by anything.

He only became serious when he was lecturing someone, sharing grand philosophies.

But no matter the time, he had never been as serious as he was now.

The sincerity in his words, and everything he said for the sake of Shen Fei and the Duan family, made the miner’s nose feel tight.

It also made Shen Fei, who had always been indifferent and composed, feel a complicated mix of emotions.

Having parents and a family was something he had never experienced.

After his successful entrepreneurship in his previous life, he had hired many renowned detectives in Huaguo to investigate his background.

But every time, there were no leads.

He only knew that when he was sent to the welfare home, he had just been born.

His name was given by the head of the home.

And he had spent more than ten years there.

If you asked Shen Fei whether he resented his parents, the answer would be yes, back when he had no family and no children of his own.

He resented seeing families reunited.

He resented seeing the lights of thousands of homes, none of which were waiting for him.

But when the little girl was born, his resentment vanished.

His mind became consumed with the idea of finding his biological parents.

After all, who would choose to be separated from their own flesh and blood if not for circumstances?

This change in mindset drove him to crazily search for any trace of his origin.

But there were no clues, not a single lead.

Instead, others almost took advantage of him…

“Little Shen???”

Seeing that Shen Fei was silent, Duan Guo’an was a bit surprised.

“Huh?”

Shen Fei snapped out of his thoughts and quickly said, “Sorry, Uncle Duan, I was lost in thought for a moment!”

“Well, what about what I said…” Duan Guo’an hesitated, not sure how to continue.

Seeing this, Shen Fei quickly smiled and reassured him, “I heard everything!”

“Is that so? Then what do you think?” Duan Guo’an asked, still uncertain.

“Uncle Duan, let me put it this way. Since my business failure, the few brothers I’ve gotten to know are Tiancheng, Yantai, and Gu Xiang! So, you can rest assured!” Shen Fei said seriously.

“Alright, now that you say that, I feel relieved!” Duan Guo’an smiled, his mood lightening a bit.

After a brief pause, he continued directly, “Little Shen, what are your plans next? I don’t think having a scar treatment ointment will be the limit for you!”

“Uncle Duan, you’re right! Scar treatment ointment is just one part of my blueprint!” Shen Fei nodded, not hiding anything.

“Well, Little Shen, what’s your next move?” Duan Guo’an became excited, looking at Shen Fei with keen interest.

He had known that Shen Fei had the ability to expand his ambitions.

In the next second, Shen Fei casually said, “Real estate!”

The three words stunned everyone present.

Especially Jiang Shengcai, who was in construction, who looked particularly shocked.

“Little Shen, although I’m in construction, I understand a bit about the real estate industry. Right now, the country is introducing strict policies, and the real estate industry is facing many restrictions. Many companies are barely staying afloat. Are you sure about diving into real estate? Isn’t that a bit too risky?”

After a brief shock, Jiang Shengcai expressed his concerns based on his knowledge.

Moreover, he didn’t believe that Shen Fei hadn’t considered these issues.

After all, Shen Fei’s far-sighted analytical skills had even earned praise from the elder.

But why was Shen Fei still determined to enter the real estate industry?

This left Jiang Shengcai puzzled.

Duan Guo’an, although silent, had similar thoughts in his mind.

In recent years, Duan family had shares in almost every notable real estate company in Bincheng.

He also felt the real estate industry was declining compared to a few years ago.

Thus, he planned to return to Bincheng soon and pull out investments from related industries.

But now, Shen Fei had brought it up again, and this left the nouveau riche feeling confused.

Seeing their reactions, Shen Fei remained calm, seemingly having expected them to respond this way.

“Uncle Jiang, I understand the situation. Compared to a few years ago, the real estate industry has certainly reached saturation. But what I want to do isn’t just any real estate. I plan to focus on high-end properties specifically for the wealthy—private villas, luxury apartments, etc.! Right now, real estate is flourishing, but there are fewer people focused on high-end properties.”

Shen Fei explained with a smile.

However, Jiang Shengcai wasn’t fully convinced.

High-end real estate had potential.

But the number of people willing to spend money on such properties was very limited.

Especially after the country introduced related policies, the number of buyers had been drastically reduced.

Jiang Shengcai’s concerns were understandable in the current context.

But Shen Fei wasn’t afraid.

He had 20 years of foresight and advanced ideas for future designs.

In the current market, he wasn’t worried about not finding buyers after the houses were built.

He had seen it firsthand in his previous life.

And the country’s policies were simply aimed at keeping speculative buyers out and controlling housing prices, but they didn’t necessarily limit the demand for housing.

This meant that high-end property brands focused on details like architectural designs and furniture, which, despite the high prices, remained highly sought after.

And real estate developers in this field made huge profits.

Shen Fei was fully aware of this, and he knew how to attract the wealthy’s attention and get them to spend willingly.

Thus, the real estate industry was a major part of his blueprint.

“Little Shen, are you really going to enter the real estate industry?” Duan Guo’an asked again.

“Yes, it won’t be long!” Shen Fei nodded.

Then, he looked at Duan Guo Xiang and raised an eyebrow, saying, “Xiang, do you want to invest?”
