An unknown individual from a powerful organization reveals their intent to kill Su Changfeng due to the Wei Family incident and proposes an alliance with Shangguan Feihong. Shangguan Feihong, who also desires Su Changfeng's demise, agrees to cooperate, while reflecting on Su Changfeng's capabilities compared to Ye Weijun. Meanwhile, Su Changfeng shares a meal with Ji Hong, who expresses admiration for his rapid achievements.

"Because all that stuff is completely useless in my eyes," Su Changfeng said.

Seeing Su Changfeng looking like he really didn’t care at all, Ji Hong felt very helpless too. "The feeling you give me now is like you don’t care about anything. So I’m curious—what kind of thing could actually stir your heart?"

The only thing Su Changfeng had ever really cared about was still the same as in his previous life—purely just that one person.

But right now there was no way he could tell this to Ji Hong. Otherwise, Su Changfeng himself didn’t even know how he could explain it in a way that would make Ji Hong believe him.

After Su Changfeng got home, he started thinking. His fame in this place had been growing bigger and bigger lately; he figured pretty much everyone already thought he was going to be the champion of the competition in the end.

Even though that sounded pretty impressive on the surface, for Su Changfeng it wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Because now Su Changfeng had a lot of fans, and these fans were really insanely passionate. He figured there would also be tons of people wanting to work with him.

Whenever he thought about all that, all he felt was that it was a huge hassle.

Thinking of this, Su Changfeng contacted Wu Feng.

"Has there been a lot of people wanting to cooperate with our company recently?" Su Changfeng asked.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Feng sounded completely exhausted. You could say he basically hadn’t had any time to rest these days.

Because there were just way too many people wanting to work with their company now, Wu Feng had to personally filter each one of them, so he basically had no time left to rest.

Wu Feng said, "About this, right now our company actually doesn’t need any more partners at all."

"All those people who want to work with our company, their info is all laid out in front of me. I’m going to look through it in a bit."

Hearing that, Su Changfeng was a little surprised. It was already after work hours, but it sounded like Wu Feng was still working.

"You didn’t go home?" Su Changfeng asked.

"There’s some material I haven’t gone through yet, so I need to finish reading all of it right away," Wu Feng said.

Even though Su Changfeng didn’t really know what the situation in the company was like right now, just from Wu Feng’s tired tone he could tell they were definitely extremely busy.

"We’re really not short of partners at all now. If you can’t get these things settled during your work hours, then there’s absolutely no need to push them into your off-hours."

Of course Wu Feng understood exactly what he meant, but he still hoped he could get all this handled for Su Changfeng as soon as possible.

So Wu Feng said, "Don’t worry, I can take care of all this. I still have energy."

"Anyway, once work hours are over, just go straight home. I’d rather not see you still in the office. And tell everyone else this too: as long as someone comes to me personally, I’m absolutely not going to work with them," Su Changfeng said.

Wu Feng didn’t object. After all, this was exactly how Su Changfeng had always done things; he probably just didn’t want these people interfering with his life.

After a few more words, Su Changfeng ended the call.

Actually, what Su Changfeng wanted was for Wu Feng to help him take care of this whole issue, but who knew that because of it, Wu Feng’s side ended up getting really busy too.

Their company wasn’t what it used to be anymore. There was no need at all to go around pulling people in to cooperate with them.

Now there were companies everywhere trying to come to Su Changfeng to work with him instead; it was a completely different situation.

But Su Changfeng still just didn’t want to see these people. He was fine letting them worry on their own.

Meanwhile, at the bar.

Wang Wenli looked very unhappy. Ever since he got there, he’d been sitting by himself drinking.

In the past, this basically never happened, but tonight it was just Wang Wenli alone, which made his friends really confused.

Actually, the reason Wang Wenli was here drinking alone was purely because of Su Changfeng. At this point, Wang Wenli had no other choice—he could only go to Su Changfeng and apologize.

This was something Wang Wenli really couldn’t accept at all, but if he didn’t go to Su Changfeng to apologize, he probably wouldn’t be able to stay in the Wang Family in the future.

Thinking back to how arrogant and full of himself he’d been in front of Su Changfeng at the start, back then Wang Wenli hadn’t looked up to him at all.

But who would’ve thought that in the blink of an eye, Su Changfeng’s status and position would change like this, even to the point where he’d directly become someone every family wanted to curry favor with!

Whenever he thought about this, Wang Wenli felt extremely worried and upset, and he just couldn’t believe that this was something Su Changfeng had pulled off himself.

At this point, Wang Wenli’s friends walked up and asked him what was going on.

Wang Wenli said helplessly, "Even if I told you, it wouldn’t do any good. Forget it, I won’t say it."

Hearing that, his friend was immediately a bit annoyed. After all, anyone who could hang out in a place like this had some status.

So everyone was very concerned about saving face, and now Wang Wenli wasn’t even willing to say what it was, just telling him he couldn’t help anyway—that naturally didn’t sit well with him.

So he said, "How can you say that? Sure, my family can’t compare with yours, but there are some things your family really can’t do."

"But for me, that might not be the case. What if I actually can help you?"

Wang Wenli shook his head with a smile. This guy really had no idea what was going on if he had the guts to say something like that.

So Wang Wenli said helplessly, "Alright then, since you insist, I’ll tell you. The reason I’m like this is because of Su Changfeng. Can you help me with that?"

Su Changfeng?!

Hearing the name, Wang Wenli’s friend was instantly stunned. His family had already made it very clear to him that no matter what, he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend Su Changfeng.
