"Money, connections, and crisis protection—these three benefits do indeed sound tempting," Qin Feng sipped his tea calmly and said, "But you've overlooked one thing."

"Oh?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Hehe." Qin Feng laughed as he set down his teacup, "You've overlooked the need. These things are nice, but of what use are they to me?"

"You..."

Zhang Xu's eyebrows tightened.

It was his first time hearing that such great benefits could be of no use to someone.

Let's not even mention money and resources.

He has just offended the Ao Huang Three Families. To cope with this crisis, a few days ago, he had somehow managed to bring back Zuo Yizhou from the Zuo Family for protection, only to be ignored by the Zuo Family now.

And now, he's refusing the temporary protection from the Nangong Family?

How could he be so ignorant, so ungrateful?

Zhang Xu stormed off.

Let him taste the consequences of his refusal!

But.

He was here on a mission.

The Little Dragon Girl could only live until the age of five; this might be her last birthday, so Mr. Nangong would fulfill all her wishes.

One of her wishes is to hear Luo Hongyan sing a song.

If he can't manage that...

Then his days in the Nangong Family won't be long.

In the end.

Zhang Xu had to suppress his indignation and said to Qin Feng again: "Boss Qin, even if you have no need for them, just singing a few songs, these benefits are very good for anyone!"

"Has Brother Zhang never heard of the saying, 'Though weak water is three thousand, I only take one scoop to drink'? I am not greedy. There's no need to lose my own path just for some benefits," Qin Feng said.

"..."

Zhang Xu was frustrated.

This guy was truly impervious!

What should he do now?

"If there's nothing else, Brother Zhang, then let's leave it at that! We have our own business to attend to," Qin Feng said with a smile.

Xiao Lian immediately stood up and walked over, saying, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, this way please."

Obviously.

This was sending the guest off!

Zhang Xu never imagined that as the personal assistant to the Family Head of the Nangong Family, he would be shown out by someone from Little Lake City, a disgrace!!

The authentic version is on *.

But he couldn't go back empty-handed!

For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Seeing his face turning iron blue, Qin Feng smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm really sorry. I've always been like this. Treat me with respect, and I'll repay with even more; but the reverse is true as well. So, my apologies."

After saying that.

He was the first to get up to leave.

The meaning was clear.

You came all high and mighty, speaking down to me as though I owed you millions, but I won't buy it. If you play tough with me, I won't entertain you either. So, bye now!

Zhang Xu obviously understood Qin Feng's words, and his brows were tightly knotted.

Just as Qin Feng was about to walk out of the parlor, Zhang Xu gritted his teeth and called out to him, "Wait a second!"

Then.

He stood up, bowed slightly to Qin Feng, and said, "Boss Qin, I apologize for my previous attitude, my apologies!"

There was no way around it.

If he returned empty-handed, he would lose his own livelihood!

"I now sincerely request your participation in Little Dragon Girl's birthday banquet!"

He added.

His attitude was no longer the "charitable" one from before but seemed much more sincere.

Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled and said, "Take the money with you. I'll make a trip."

"This..."

Zhang Xu was confused.

"Take the money, leave the invitation."

Qin Feng said again.

Zhang Xu didn't dare to ask further.

Finally, he had agreed to go; no matter what, his mission was accomplished.

"Thank you, Boss Qin!"

Zhang Xu ordered his subordinates to collect the box of money and leave the place.

Not until he completely exited the hotel did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that unbeknownst to him, beads of sweat had formed on his forehead and back.

"Not easy!"

He muttered to himself, "His aura isn't strong, but it subtly remains in a state of suppression..."

He had followed the Nangong Family Head for many years.

He had seen quite a few big shots.

But he had never encountered someone with an aura like Qin Feng.

Ordinary yet,

exuding an irresistible presence.

If not for facing him in conversation,

you'd never notice, simply treating him as just another person.

Too strong!

"President Zhang, that kid didn't take the five million, what does he mean by that?" one of them said.

Another said, "Do we even need to ask? That kid obviously didn't dare to take it! Just by us Nangong Family inviting them, we've already given them tremendous respect, how could they possibly dare to take the money?"

"That makes sense, but he was putting on quite an act, constantly refusing."

"..."

As the two went back and forth, Zhang Xu turned his head and bellowed: "Shut up!!"

He could feel it.

Qin Feng's refusal just now wasn't about showing off.

It was simply because he was arrogant, and that's why he refused.

As for why he didn't take the five million, it was probably because he didn't regard the invitation as a "paid performance".

Five million.

To refuse it just like that.

He's really not an ordinary person!

Zhang Xu became even more certain of his thoughts.

In the reception room.

Jiang Zhongtian and Shen Lu said, "Since we're going, let's immediately pick a few suitable songs."

"No need."

Qin Feng waved his hand, saying, "Relax, we're just going to attend a birthday banquet, it's not a commercial performance."

"Ah?"

Jiang Zhongtian and Shen Lu were slightly startled, "But, won't there be any trouble? The other party is the Nangong Family!"

"So what about the Nangong Family?" Qin Feng turned his head towards Luo Hongyan and said, "Don't worry, your only task is the concert, no need to be concerned about anything else."

"Oh..."

Luo Hongyan looked somewhat bewildered.

She gazed at Qin Feng with a somewhat unusual look in her eyes.

It was at this moment that she came to realize that Qin Feng was the owner of Haohan Company, the secret patron behind Fengyun Group.

All of this was too shocking for her.

Before this.

She had only known Qin Feng as the doctor who had treated her voice, knowing him as Xu Yunxiao's wimpy husband.

Whether in Lake City or in Yanjing.

Despite interacting with Qin Feng so many times, despite realizing people like Jiang Zhongtian treated him with great respect.

It wasn't until she came to East Sea, until he smashed the Ao Huang Nightclub, and was exposed online, that she knew his true identity.

All of this felt like a dream!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her in a seemingly poor state, Qin Feng asked with concern.

Shen Lu smiled and said, "It's nothing, she's just feeling a bit dizzy after confirming your identity."

"..."

Qin Feng felt embarrassed, realizing that he had never told her.

At first, he only let Jiang Yuexin and Shen Lu know his identity because he decided to cultivate these two people and it wasn't convenient to let more people know.

Now that it had been leaked online, he hadn't thought about continuing to hide it.

"I'm sorry."

Qin Feng apologized with a smile.

Luo Hongyan was still emotionally unsettled, almost on the verge of fainting.

She still couldn't understand why the secret patron she had been guessing was actually Qin Feng.

It was also he.

Who had funded the historically unprecedented, massively luxurious concert for her.
