He Chunqing had just finished lunch at home. As one of the more successful young people in the family, his uncles were all toasting him.

Compliments poured in endlessly. After all, if He Chunqing became the general manager of Liancheng Mall in the future, any family wanting to start a business and get a good spot in the mall would just need a word from him.

He Chunqing was lost in the immense joy of success, unable to extricate himself. Surrounded by the flattery of his relatives, he forgot himself!

He didn't have time to chat with those uncles.

At this moment, he was holding his phone, typing rapidly, with message after message appearing on the screen.

All were responses regarding the funding for Tu Liguo.

His purpose was simple: besides flaunting his superiority, he wanted to show Mr. Tu his capabilities.

Today, he was no less than Ye Feng. Mr. Tu had been blind back then, choosing the wrong person.

Thinking of Ye Feng, a hint of malice rose in He Chunqing's eyes.

Yesterday, he had planned to secretly deal with Ye Feng, but Ye Feng escaped quickly, leaving his arranged people with nothing to do.

However, he wasn't in a hurry; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. After all, his connections weren't limited to the legitimate side.

In the underworld, he also knew some ruthless people, more than enough to deal with Ye Feng.

Then everyone would know his power.

Just as He Chunqing was feeling triumphant, the group chat exploded.

Initially, when Tu Liguo sent a message, no one wanted to speak up; they were all lurking.

With He Chunqing stepping up, everyone felt free to come out and offer their congratulations.

"Boss He is amazing."

"Boss He, I didn't expect you could even secure support funds from Yunfeng Group. That's incredible."

......

He Chunqing enjoyed the satisfaction brought by such compliments.

On the other end, Tu Liguo frowned. Although he never liked He Chunqing much as a student, he was still surprised by He Chunqing's bold words.

He knew Yunfeng Group, the largest company in Liancheng City, with assets exceeding billions and an annual education fund.

A few years ago, the Experimental Middle School had received funds from Yunfeng Group to replace outdated facilities.

When planning to build a new teaching building, someone had negotiated with Yunfeng Group for funding.

Unfortunately, Yunfeng Group didn't agree.

He didn't expect He Chunqing to have the ability to secure funds from Yunfeng Group. If so, it would be good for both him and the school.

However, he still needed confirmation, so he awkwardly typed a reply: "Chunqing, how much funding can you secure from Yunfeng Group?"

Seeing the message, He Chunqing felt even more proud.

In the past, Mr. Tu would call him by his full name, but now even the address was much warmer.

However, he pondered for a moment and then replied: "Mr. Tu, at least three million, but it depends on Yunfeng Group's budget for next year. It might be more!"

"Wow, Boss He is impressive."

"The highest funding the school ever received was only eight million. Boss He, with just a few million, you could easily rank second."

"Although it's not Boss He's donation, the school will still credit him for securing funds from Yunfeng Group!"

The group chat exploded again.

"Alright, Chunqing, try to follow up. If confirmed, let me know, and I'll inform the school."

Tu Liguo slowly replied.

If it weren't for his son, he wouldn't even ask such a question.

"Of course, of course."

He Chunqing smiled, his fingers tapping rapidly to reply to Tu Liguo as quickly as possible.

"I heard that after the New Year, the school will hold a grand welcome ceremony for the donors. Boss He will surely be one of the key guests."

"As far as I know, Boss He securing funds from Yunfeng Group already ranks second in school funding."

"Boss He will definitely have a place."

Messages in the group chat kept popping up.

At home, Ye Feng looked at the messages on his phone, his mouth twitching slightly.

He didn't expect He Chunqing to dare to play this game. Where did he get the confidence to secure those funds from the group?

So Ye Feng gently typed a few lines: "He Chunqing, where do you get the confidence to secure millions from the group?"

Ye Feng rarely spoke in the group, and this message was like a bucket of cold water.

The group chat quieted down briefly.

Then it exploded again.

"Ye Feng, you're just jealous of Boss He. If Boss He can't secure it, who can?"

"Exactly, he's about to become the manager of Liancheng Mall, practically an executive at Yunfeng Group. This is a piece of cake for him."

"Isn't it!"

"Ye Feng, you're not who you used to be, yet you still talk so big."

"Clearly, you're just jealous of Boss He's success."

"If Boss He can't secure funds from Yunfeng Group, can you? What a joke!"

The group chat exploded with messages, all criticizing and mocking Ye Feng.

They had no doubt about He Chunqing's words, given his status as a manager-level figure at Yunfeng Group.

In contrast, Ye Feng was seen as an unemployed person, whose words carried no weight.

Ye Feng didn't care about those who followed the trend, continuing to type: "He Chunqing, you'd better confirm first before speaking, lest you lose face later."

Ye Feng's message was quickly drowned in the flood of messages, but it was still caught by He Chunqing, who was silently watching Ye Feng.

Feeling powerful, he quickly typed another line, which appeared on the screen.

"Ye Feng, I'm confident about this. As a manager, I have some connections."

He added a dog head emoji.

Then he sneered and sent another message: "Ye Feng, you're not who you used to be. Just admit your failure and accept your mediocrity!"

While He Chunqing was trying his best to mock Ye Feng, a group of followers chimed in.

"Yeah! Ye Feng, stop opposing. Everyone knows you're just jealous of Boss He."

"If you have the ability, why don't you secure some funding for the school!"

Ye Feng didn't bother arguing with them, typing a few words: "Let's wait and see."

He ignored the chaotic class group chat.

At this point, Ye Feng noticed several unfamiliar Feixin accounts in the chat, feeling a bit puzzled.

These people were the most aggressive in attacking and mocking him.

Upon investigation, they were all unfamiliar Feixin accounts, just added to the group by He Chunqing, likely to lead the charge in insulting Ye Feng.

Stirring up the group!

Damn He Chunqing, he even hired a troll army.

Ye Feng, looking gloomy, put his phone in his pocket. The plan to deal with He Chunqing had to be expedited.
