Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Hidden Quest, Su Ruoxi’s Lost Heart

After getting in the car,

Su Ruoxi handed her phone to Lin Feng.

”Brother Feng...”

”It looks like someone just sent you a message!”

Before starting the car, Lin Feng opened his phone to take a look.

When he saw the name Zhou Zhidong, he froze for a second.

At first, he really couldn’t place the name.

Then he remembered—this was the person Aunt Tang had recommended to him.

It was Aunt Tang’s son.

He tapped into the message conversation.

Zhou Zhidong wasn’t a very sociable person.

So he got straight to the point.

”Mr. Lin, my mother has handed over part of her investment business to me.”

”I’m extremely satisfied with your investment firm’s rate of return, so I’d like to make some follow-up investments.”

Reading this message, Lin Feng got a general impression of Zhou Zhidong’s character.

So he casually sent back a message: ”How much are you planning to invest?”

Zhou Zhidong replied almost instantly: ”Based on the commitment Mr. Lin gave, it’s obviously the more, the better.”

”It’s just that my cash flow is a bit tight right now. I’ll start with an investment of two hundred million.”

Lin Feng glanced at the message.

’To think that just over a month ago, I had to actively seek people out for funding,’

’and now they’re all coming to me, eager to invest.’

The change felt a little surreal.

Zhou Zhidong was adding an investment of two hundred million yuan.

At the same time, Chen Jun had added five hundred million.

Now, just from these two people alone, Lin Feng had a staggering seven hundred million yuan.

With this, Lin Feng planned to use the Stock Market Trend Prediction Card to make a killing.

”Alright. I’ll have Huizi handle the contract and follow-up details with you.”

Since the main points were settled, the rest could just be left to Huizi.

’It all comes back to Huizi in the end.’

Lin Feng also asked Huizi how much capital the company could free up at the moment.

After contacting the company’s finance department again,

Huizi sent Lin Feng a message: ”Excluding the funds tied up in active projects, we have about four hundred million in liquid assets that can be mobilized.”

Lin Feng nodded.

This meant that Lin Feng would have 1.1 billion in capital for his next move.

Without him even realizing it, the company’s total volume had already grown to over 1.4 billion.

Back when the system was upgraded,

his investment firm had expanded to a scale capable of handling three billion in capital.

’Looking at it now,’

’three billion in capital doesn’t seem like that much after all!’

Lin Feng thought to himself faintly...

’Once I use the three-day Stock Market Trend Prediction Card, who knows how much this 1.1 billion in principal will grow to.’

”Don’t touch the four hundred million in available funds for now. In a little while, it’ll be pooled into my hands along with Zhou Zhidong’s and Chen Jun’s investments.”

”I’ll be the one to manage this sum of money.”

Lin Feng entrusted the matter to Huizi.

It was as if Huizi’s abilities had no upper limit.

When she was just an ordinary secretarial assistant, she was able to handle her work exceptionally well.

And now, as a project manager and secretary,

she was still able to organize most things in perfect order.

Lin Feng was very satisfied with Huizi’s personal capabilities.

Moreover, Huizi was efficient and got things done cleanly.

Lin Feng was keen on cultivating such a person.

So he elaborated a bit more on company matters.

After finishing up with the arrangements for the company,

Lin Feng finally put down his phone, started the car, and continued driving Su Ruoxi toward the mall.

However, Lin Feng noticed that Su Ruoxi hadn’t said a single word the entire way.

Her spirits were clearly low.

Just then, the system decided to join the fun.

[DING...]

[Hidden Mission Triggered: Su Ruoxi’s Despondent Heart.]

[The Host must discover the reason for Su Ruoxi’s despondence within one hour and take appropriate measures to resolve it.]

[Completing the hidden mission will grant a random reward.]

[Does the Host choose to accept the hidden mission?]

This mission.

Lin Feng accepted it without batting an eye.

In Lin Feng’s view, this mission didn’t seem very difficult.

”Ruoxi, what’s wrong?”

Lin Feng never liked beating around the bush, so he asked directly.

Unexpectedly, Su Ruoxi just glanced into the distance, pursed her lips, and shook her head.

Because he had accepted the hidden mission, Lin Feng could see Su Ruoxi’s ”despondence value” for the next ten minutes.

A moment ago, Su Ruoxi’s despondence value was stable at around seventy percent.

But now, after he had only asked the most ordinary of questions, her despondence value had shot up to eighty-seven percent!

Lin Feng felt a bit helpless.

’A woman’s heart is truly an ocean of needles.’

Lin Feng, who had just been thinking this hidden mission wouldn’t be hard,

vaguely felt that the system had dug a pit for him and that he had jumped right in.

’Still, the mission has to be done.’

Lin Feng had more or less figured out the system’s patterns.

If a mission was relatively difficult, the rewards the system gave were also very generous.

Moreover, the rewards the system didn’t specify were always somewhat special.

They weren’t the usual item cards or things like that.

”Ruoxi, ’unhappy’ is written all over your face, and you still tell me nothing’s wrong?”

Lin Feng walked over with a smile and gently pinched Su Ruoxi’s cheek.

Su Ruoxi’s skin was as smooth as fine jade; it felt quite nice.

”I don’t want to talk about it. Let’s just go shopping up ahead!”

Su Ruoxi’s face turned a little red from Lin Feng’s teasing pinch.

He still couldn’t get anything out of her.

Lin Feng was now certain that the difficulty of this hidden mission was definitely not low.

After all, a woman’s heart was truly hard to fathom.

However, Lin Feng didn’t keep pressing. Instead, a doting smile appeared on his face. ”Then let’s go take a look up ahead.”

Even within the commercial district, there were clear divisions.

Some areas were bustling with people coming and going, where shops competed for hard-earned, low-margin profits.

Other areas, however, seemed deserted.

Yet, all it took was one or two distinguished figures to walk in and close a deal worth half a year’s profit for those bustling places.

Lin Feng took Su Ruoxi directly to a jewelry store.

It was a niche brand store.

It focused on the high-end luxury market.

Niche brands like this placed a greater emphasis on design. To those who liked them, the styles were novel and unique.

To those who didn’t, the styles simply looked strange.

Watching Su Ruoxi’s despondence value gradually decrease,

Lin Feng knew that she must like this brand’s style.

He glanced at the items displayed in the store’s counters.

Lin Feng frowned and directly called over the store manager who was following them.

”These are all too ordinary. Do you have any new arrivals, or perhaps your store’s more precious pieces?”

From the moment Lin Feng had walked in, the manager had immediately come over.

Her attitude was impeccably accommodating.

People who worked in this kind of store generally had a keen eye.

The watches on Lin Feng’s and Su Ruoxi’s wrists and the clothes they wore all indicated that the two came from very wealthy backgrounds.

Naturally, the manager wouldn’t dare to neglect such major clients.

”We did indeed get a new collection in the last couple of days. If you two would like to see it, please follow me to the back.”

The manager led the way with a smile.

Lin Feng led Su Ruoxi right behind the manager.

Only then did the two discover that there was more to the store than met the eye.

Behind a door was another, smaller showroom.

Although it was much smaller, the overall design was far more exquisite than the large showroom outside.

The display cases held jewelry that was clearly much more refined than the pieces out front.

As soon as Su Ruoxi walked in, she saw a necklace with a blue diamond design displayed in the very center.

Lin Feng also saw where Su Ruoxi’s gaze had landed.

He turned to the manager and said, ”Wrap up that necklace in the center for me.”

The manager glanced at the blue necklace, a brilliant smile spreading across her face.

’This gentleman didn’t even ask the price.’

’Truly a big spender.’

However, she still had to give the introduction.

That was also part of the service.

For women’s jewelry, the story behind it was part of its added value.

”This necklace is called Sea’s Words. The blue gemstone in the center was sourced from the deep sea.”

”From a distance, it looks like a pair of eyes from the deep, silently telling the many secrets of the ocean.”

”Would you like to try it on, Miss?”

Su Ruoxi absolutely loved this style of necklace, which was both mysterious and clear.

Women are helpless when it comes to jewelry.

”Help me put it on.”

Su Ruoxi nodded.

Today, Su Ruoxi was wearing a white, pearl-adorned dress, which paired perfectly with the blue necklace.

It was a perfect match.

The manager’s eyes lit up as she offered a sincere compliment, ”Miss, your aura is an exceptional match for this necklace. It couldn’t be more suitable.”

After putting it on, Su Ruoxi couldn’t bear to take it off.

Since she was already wearing it, Lin Feng didn’t have the manager wrap it up.

Instead, his gaze fell on a nearby display case.

It was a bracelet designed with blue agate as the main material.

It exuded a faint sense of mystery.

”I think this would also look great on you, Ruoxi. Do you want to try it?”

Su Ruoxi followed Lin Feng’s gesture and looked at the bracelet next to them.

When she first came in, her attention had been completely captured by the necklace, so she hadn’t had a chance to look closely at the other pieces.

The manager didn’t expect that after buying the necklace, the young man before her would want to keep looking.

’It seems the identities of these two are truly extraordinary.’

”This bracelet was designed by our brand’s exclusive designer. It features top-grade blue agate, and its shape is uncarved and completely natural.”

After trying it on,

Su Ruoxi felt this bracelet was also quite nice.

Lin Feng nodded, and the manager at their side tactfully and immediately wrapped up the bracelet as well.

In Su Ruoxi’s eyes, the other items were just so-so.

There was nothing else she particularly loved.

The manager led the two to the checkout counter.

”The Sea’s Words is priced at 1.7 million, and the Mystery of Blue is 600,000.”

”Your total comes to 2.3 million!”

Without a word, Lin Feng used a Cashback Card and then handed over his bank card.

The multiplier for this Cashback Card was two, refunding him 4.6 million.

Su Ruoxi, standing beside him, hadn’t expected to spend so much.

The price was certainly not low.

For a moment,

Su Ruoxi felt a little embarrassed.

In Lin Feng’s mind, Su Ruoxi’s despondence value actually dropped by fifteen percent.

”Mr. Lin, you have been upgraded to our store’s VIP customer. We welcome you to visit again.”

After swiping the bank card, the manager’s entire being radiated an aura of delight.

’One good sale feeds you for half a year.’

The amount Lin Feng and his companion had spent had indeed met the manager’s performance target for half a year.

After all, Su Ruoxi had excellent taste, picking out the two most valuable pieces in the store right away.
