Samsara Online Chapter 51
Advertisement
After finishing their classes, the group of four consisting of Xie Feng, Hu Chen, Yue Kai and Xiao Luo, went to the university cafeteria as Xie Feng had previously agreed with Xie Yao that she would look for Gu Qianxue as their classroom is only 5 minutes away.
"Hey, have you thought about how you're going to dress tonight? I think I'll dress presentably but not too conspicuously". Hu Chen said as he played with his car keys.
Hu Chen's family has a small business so he could afford to buy an Audi A4. Although he had to spend his savings from several years and borrow some money from his father, it is quite an accomplishment for a university student to have an Audi.
Yue Kai contemplated for a moment and answered: "I think you are right old Hu, being too flashy will make us look like clowns in front of the hot girls. Better to wear some casual but elegant clothes".
Yue Kai's family has a steel business. Although they don't have as much money as Xie Feng and Xie Yao, Yue Kai's family business has a net worth of a few million yuan. For that reason he was able to buy a BMW worth about 600,000 yuan.
Still, both Yue Kai and Hu Chen are not spoiled by their parents in excess, so to buy their own cars both had to work. Of course, their families supported them, but no one could say that they are typical arrogant young masters who do not study or work and are only supported by their parents.
Also for that reason Xie Feng feels comfortable with them and does not stay away from them as he does from the rest of the rich second generation.
Suddenly Xie Feng remembered something and looked at Xiao Luo: "Hey, Xiao Luo. I know that you work two jobs during your free time, how about working for my family's company?".

Xiao Luo looked at him confused and asked: "Xie Feng, you have never told us what your family does. What is it about?".
Xie Feng shrugged his shoulders and answered casually: "You probably know today anyway. Just wait until tonight. About the job, you can start as a security guard, your monthly salary will be 15,000 yuan. What do you think?".
Xiao Luo was speechless for a moment and when he finally reacted he asked: "Are you serious?".
Xie Feng continued walking and said: "If you don't want to then forget it".
"Nonono, big brother Xie, my father, my grandfather, I want the job, of course I want it". Xiao Luo quickly chased him and began to flatter him so much that Xie Feng had the urge to punch him in the face.
Xiao Luo is no fool. He naturally understands that even though he starts out as a simple security guard on the lowest scale, the salary that Xie Feng offers him is comparable to and even higher than university professors.
What's more, Xiao Luo knows that as a friend of Xie Feng, as long as he does his job well, Xie Feng will give him a quick promotion.

After lunch with the girls, Xie Feng accompanied them back to the Golden Emperor villa complex.
"Yaoyao, I will pick you and Qianxue up again at 17:40. Then we will go to the university together to meet up with everyone". Said Xie Feng as he opened the door of the Land Rover Range Rover and sat inside.
Xie Yao approached the window and asked, "Big brother Xie Feng, why do you have to try so hard? Grandpa Lu can take over the company for a while longer".
The Grandpa Lu that Xie Yao talks about is the butler of her family. He is a man in his 60s who met her father shortly after the business started but had not yet prospered at all.

Although Xie Yao knows that her father's business has improved greatly and made a terrific amount of money since Xie Feng took over, she does not want him to be so busy when he was still only a young man in his 20s. She wants him to enjoy his life more.
Xie Feng leaned forward slightly and kissed her forehead, then turned on the car and responded as he buckled up: "Don't worry about it, silly girl. I do it because I like it, that's all. Remember to be ready at that time".
Knowing that her words wouldn't stop him, Xie Yao walked away from the car and watched him slowly pull away with a misty look on her face.

Inside the Range Rover Land Rover.
Xie Feng arrived soon at the control entrance of the villa complex. When the guards saw him they greeted him and Xie Feng responded cordially to all.
After arriving on the road he accelerated eastward while muttering: "Yaoyao... you are too innocent. But it's okay, I like that part of you. You just keep being the way you are, I'll take out the trash".
In truth, Xie Feng tries so hard because he is extremely proud. That pride is also the reason for his suffering.
Because he is so proud he does not want to feel indebted to anyone. However, he is indebted to Xie Yao's parents too much. Unfortunately, he will not be able to pay that debt directly.
Therefore, he will personally make sure that her father's efforts are not wasted, he will make sure to avenge them. He will make everyone, no matter who they are, pay in blood for the suffering they caused Xie Yao.
Xie Feng took a wireless headset and put it in his right ear, then dialed a number and waited patiently.
After a few seconds, the call was answered and an old man was heard on the other end: "Young master, why the sudden call? Is there anything you and the young lady need?".
Xie Feng laughed lightly and responded with a friendly tone: "Grandpa Lu, Xie Yao and I have told you many times to call us by our names. After all, you are part of the family. Anyway, the reason I'm calling is to let you know that I'm on my way to the headquarters of Magnificent Sky Corporation".
The other side was silent for a moment and answered: "I understand, the young master really works hard. I will make sure I have this month's financial documents ready for you".
Xie Feng responded politely: "Sorry to bother you Grandpa Lu, thanks for everything".
Grandpa Lu replied: "There is nothing to thank for, I am happy to serve the Xie family".
After a simple goodbye, Xie Feng ended the call and the friendly smile disappeared completely as he continued to drive to Magnificent Sky Corporation with indifference.
Magnificent Sky Corporation, a company name given by the father of Xie Yao when he started his business years ago.
***
After driving for 40 minutes on the busy streets of Shanghai, Xie Feng finally saw a familiar building in the distance.
The building was about 50 stories high and had large glass windows. In addition, the area of land occupied was a few hundred square meters as the place had its own parking lot.
In a mega city like Shanghai where every acre of land is as valuable as gold, the price to build such a structure is naturally terrifying.
After parking the Land Rover, Xie Feng stood looking at the building for a moment before finally walking inside with firm steps.
