The Prisoner Who Came Back a King
Chapter 13 – The man is sharper than he was back then
"I'll take care of it."
Su Weiwei rubbed her red eyes and flashed a tender smile, speaking cheerfully.
Then she ran off to pack the clothes Ye Feng had chosen earlier, carrying them in her hands.
Under her lead, they headed to the dining area downstairs. Luo Yan, following behind, felt her heart pounding, still reeling from the shock.
She never would have thought that after Brother Feng had been in prison for a few years, he would return with such influence.
Whether in high school or university, his legendary stories were always heard, and it was surprising that even after so long, the stories continued.
She silently followed behind.
As they passed by the electronics store downstairs, Luo Yan suddenly said, "Brother Feng, how about we buy you a phone?"
Ye Feng was taken aback. He hadn't used a phone for years, only having a small satellite phone on him now, which looked like an old-fashioned mobile.
Don't underestimate this phone; it's the only one that can directly connect to the command centers of Shenzhou Guard locations nationwide.
The military power it could mobilize was comparable to that of a major military district commander, if not more.
Shenzhou Guard is the most elite unit in Shenzhou, stationed across the country, having achieved remarkable feats over the years, belonging to the top military units.
The leaders of Shenzhou Guard are at least of the king of soldiers level, with many being war god level, commanding awe across the land.
Almost all of these people were trained by Ye Feng back in the day, including many battle-hardened veterans who fought alongside him.
He hadn't easily used the satellite phone since his release, and indeed, he needed a mobile phone for convenience.
Ye Feng nodded, and Luo Yan led him to a phone store to choose a phone.
They picked a phone worth over seven thousand yuan, and when it came time to pay, Su Weiwei insisted on paying for him.
"Weiwei, your store isn't doing well. You should keep your money. I can afford this."
With that, he pulled out a wad of cash and handed seven thousand yuan to the salesperson, who looked at him oddly.
Although Ye Feng had just been released, he wasn't short on money. During his time in prison, after the battle in the northwest, the military district didn't treat him as a mere prisoner. After thoroughly investigating his case, they realized he was wrongfully imprisoned.
They then processed his enlistment, making him part of the military, otherwise, how could he have trained the Shenzhou Guard and led those soldiers into battle?
The military initially intended to clear Ye Feng's name, but he wanted to avenge his grievances personally.
To protect him, the military agreed with his view, so Ye Feng went through the release procedure.
Before leaving, the military intended to give him a sum of money, but he didn't accept it, only asking for tens of thousands of yuan to maintain his life.
He could afford a phone costing a few thousand yuan.
Seeing Ye Feng insist on paying, Su Weiwei didn't object, as she was almost at the end of her rope financially.
All her money was tied up in inventory, hoping to recoup some funds during the year-end, but business was bleak, almost at a dead end.
After buying the phone, the three of them went to the second floor and found a decent restaurant.
Once seated, Ye Feng seriously said to Su Weiwei, "Weiwei, you can't manage your store like this."
Seeing Su Weiwei remain silent, Ye Feng continued, "Your store's salespeople are of poor quality. Continuing like this won't bring you any profit."
Su Weiwei bit her lip, knowing Ye Feng was right, but she had her own difficulties.
Those two salespeople weren't ordinary people; one was her husband's sister, and the other was a cousin.
She really didn't know how to handle it. If she fired them, her husband would surely make a fuss, making home life unbearable. This unhappy marriage was her deepest pain.
Ye Feng, experienced in worldly matters, could see her worry and continued, "If you want to achieve something in business, you must be ruthless. Any factor threatening the store's survival must be eliminated, or you'll face bankruptcy."
Su Weiwei nodded seriously, smiling bitterly, "This time, I'll definitely make some changes."
She knew Ye Feng wasn't an ordinary person. Back in his sophomore year, he started a business, and by graduation, he was worth nearly a billion.
Naturally, he had rich experience in management, and his words were pearls of wisdom, worthy of being considered classics.
After thinking it over, Su Weiwei decided to fire those two and hire salespeople with professional skills.
Ye Feng merely offered a few suggestions, and as for how she handled it, he didn't emphasize too much, as these weren't his concerns.
Then Ye Feng changed the topic, talking more about their high school days, where memories were often sweet.
Back then, we were still young and carefree, just holding books and moving forward, with spring flowers blooming and autumn leaves falling, everything was so beautiful.
Time flows like a river, passing swiftly, and now, years later, everyone has matured.
Each person has experienced different trials and encounters, some achieving great success, riding high.
Some returned to ordinary life, worrying about daily meals.

Some, like Su Weiwei, suffered from unhappy marriages.
Some, like Ye Feng, were trapped in prison.
Besides sighing over the past, their conversation was filled with joy, with Su Weiwei playfully lamenting that Ye Feng hadn't accepted her back then.
When this topic came up, Ye Feng immediately surrendered, wishing to escape, making Su Weiwei laugh heartily.
Su Weiwei was already married, but he kept the conversation appropriate, not becoming too intimate with a married person.
This is one of the basic principles of conduct.
At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly remembered Zheng Guozhong and needed to meet the person now in charge of Liancheng's business scene.
He asked the two to wait in the restaurant while he went alone to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor of the mall was the office area of the entire large mall, with the manager's office inside.
Zheng Guozhong returned here feeling a bit excited, with a hint of unease, now somewhat hesitant.
Yunfeng Group, under Ye Feng's management back then, had already taken shape, with assets in the billions.
Ye Feng had formulated a comprehensive five-year development plan with his forward-thinking business acumen, including this mall, all part of Ye Feng's plan.
After five years of implementation and development, it had grown to its current massive scale, with assets now exceeding ten billion, making it the leading enterprise in Liancheng.
It could be said that Yunfeng Group's current scale was entirely due to Ye Feng's efforts back then, having nothing to do with the current chairman.
After implementing Ye Feng's plan, the group now faced a bottleneck, lacking innovation, making further development difficult.
Zheng Guozhong was now indecisive about whether to help Ye Feng regain control of Yunfeng.
This was a high-stakes gamble!
If successful, he would advance further.
If he failed, he would pack up and leave.
Emotionally, he very much wanted Ye Feng to regain control of Yunfeng, but selfishly, he feared failure.
After pacing back and forth for a long time, recalling Ye Feng's confident demeanor, though outwardly gentle, he could feel it.
That man was even sharper than before!
Thinking of this, he immediately made up his mind to fully support Ye Feng in regaining control of Yunfeng Group.
