A black Audi drove steadily on the Qin Line Expressway, and two hours later entered the Deep River Highway. Not long after, under Li Feng's guidance, it turned onto a small mountain path from Huangli Town.

  The road is getting narrower and narrower, but fortunately it's a good season with no rain, so the gravel road is still in good condition.

  As he got closer to Li's village, Li Feng's mood became increasingly complex and tense, it had been almost two years since he last came back.

  I don't know how mom is doing, nor do I know how tall little sister has grown. Are they all doing well?

  Memories of yesterday's events flooded his mind, and compared to the present changes, Li Feng felt as if he had just woken up from a bizarre and unbelievable dream.

  It was just that when he slightly turned to the side, the beautiful CEO beside him, with a delicate face and elegant temperament, reminded him that this wasn't a dream, Li Feng had returned, and not empty-handed either.

  Although it is still very far from success, isn't this a good start?

  "You seem to be quite tense, are you almost home?" Liu Ruoshi's face rose with a faint smile, looking straight ahead, as if she felt Li Feng's inner feelings at this moment.

  "At the speed you're driving now, we should arrive in half an hour." Li Feng gazed at the familiar yet strange view of the countryside outside the window, his voice floating over: "It's been almost three years since I've been back, and I'm really a bit nervous."

  There is a saying that goes "the closer one gets to their hometown, the more timid they become", this sentence is absolutely right, it's precisely because of caring that one becomes timid.

  "It's been three years, why haven't you returned home?"

  "I'm broke." Li Feng casually spat out the two words, causing the beautiful CEO to pause, turn her head and gaze at him with a distracted expression, before a smile rose up and she said: "Things are looking up now, aren't they?"

  "Haha, that's right. Speaking of which, Ruo Shi, you're still my benefactor." Li Feng broke away from his low mood and laughed brightly.

  "Of course, your first pot of gold was earned from me, so don't forget about me when you become rich in the future." Liu Ruoshi smiled gently.

  "You're wrong, my first bucket of gold was earned from the old man, okay?" Along with his mood loosening up, Li Feng also started to joke around.

  As they talked, the outdoor scenery gradually changed from lush green fields to mountains, and as they walked deeper, it was all mountains.

  The beautiful CEO's eyes were filled with curiosity and a hint of solemnity. She could see that the further they walked, the better the scenery became, and the air quality also became fresher. But from another perspective, this also meant that people living in the surrounding environment might be getting poorer. No wonder Li Feng hadn't returned home in three years - it wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that he had no choice.

  "By the way, since people in Dashan Village get married relatively early, a young man like me at 23 is already considered late to marry. So... uh, my mom has always been anxious about this, so if there's any misunderstanding later on, please don't take it to heart."

  Seeing the infinitely familiar village road in sight, Li Feng suddenly remembered something and said with some embarrassment.

  "You're saying that the people in your village, and your mom, might misunderstand me as... you know..." Liu Ruoshi's face turned slightly red, but it quickly disappeared as she tried to say.

  "Cough, cough, that's exactly what I mean." Li Feng said with a cough.

  "That's easy, just say I'm your supervisor at work. You haven't officially started working yet, have you? Or you can come to my Yali Group instead." Liu Ruoshi said with a half-joking tone.

  After these days of understanding, she knew that Li Feng, apart from having that strange Taoist method of cultivating Qi, was also a talented student with both good character and academic achievements. Therefore, when she said this, it wasn't entirely a joke.

  And if Li Feng joins her company, then Ah Huang can rest assured about anything that happens to her afterwards.

  "No way, this will make people in the village think I'm eating soft rice." Li Feng refused without waiting for the other person to speak.

  "Male chauvinism." Liu Ruoshi's mouth corners slightly pouted, and suddenly another thought occurred to her, trying: "Or, I'll temporarily be your girlfriend, let your mom be happy for a bit."

  "Let it go, beautiful CEO, spare me. I'm not worthy of you." Li Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and for a moment, he almost nodded in agreement, but then his guard went up and he refused.

  "Knock you out, it's just temporary, not really, I just want to help you. Later on, if Ah Huang has something going on, you can return the favor." The beautiful CEO was slightly angry, wherever she went, there were always suitors, but this Li Feng actually dared to refuse her "kindness" without even thinking about it.

  However, she herself was also taken aback, never expecting that she would actually play such a joke with Li Feng.

  All along, the men around her who could get in touch with her were either respectful subordinates or rich playboys who wanted to win her over and gain both her person and wealth.

  Li Feng was neither her subordinate nor had any intention of pursuing her, but instead made her feel very comfortable in the presence of this sunny man.

  "So you had this idea all along." The beautiful CEO's fox tail finally appeared, but Li Feng didn't mind and instead said generously: "If you need me again next time, I'll give you a 50% discount."

  "It's really a miser." Liu Ruoshi said with a smile, and Li Feng also laughed. She was worried that it wouldn't be a problem to discount as much as possible, the most important thing is that this guy won't refuse her request for help next time.

  She has a premonition that Li Feng will make a comeback soon and rise to power rapidly. If she wants to ask for help at that time, it's likely to be too late.

  At last, when the two finished their conversation, they arrived at Lijiazhuang Village deep in the mountains. Everything here seemed very simple and unadorned, including most of the people.

  Of course, nothing is absolute. Under the influence of today's social reality, even people from Li Jia Village on the mountain cannot avoid being affected by some realistic trends.

  When a brand new black Audi sedan drove into the village, it immediately caught the attention of the idle villagers of Lijiazhuang.

  Some little kids even stopped playing hide-and-seek and mud, and gathered around, curious yet timid, keeping a certain distance from the sedan.

  The door opened and Li Feng was the first to come down.

  "Huh? Wife, this seems to be Xiao Feng..."

  "It shouldn't be, right? I heard Ah Niu say that this Audi car is worth at least several hundred thousand." a village woman hesitated.

  "Yes, although he looks a bit like Xiao Feng, this young man is quite wealthy, and Xiao Feng has just graduated, where did he get so much money?" A woman next to her chimed in.

  "Haha, you guys are really funny. Just the other day, Li Jian called back and said that Li Feng still can't find a job and is stubbornly staying in school." A young man said disdainfully.

  Especially mentioning Li Feng, his face was full of sneers.

  "Yeah, I can vouch for Li Qiang, Jian Ge did call back a few days ago and said so. Jian Ge also said that in the end, Li Feng was driven away by their security department before he would move out."
