He’s Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 161: 【161】What woman wouldn’t like a man like this?_1
The matter was finally settled satisfactorily.

Everyone was keen to approach Tang Feng to make his acquaintance.

In no time at all, he accumulated a thick stack of business cards.

Those who could attend the stone gambling event today were all tycoons with a net worth of over ten million.

In Zhonghai, they definitely counted as members of the upper echelons.

Becoming familiar with these people could prove very beneficial in the future.

When they found out that Tang Feng was an appraiser from Ya Garden, they all expressed interest in patronizing the venue.

A few people stayed behind to deal with the aftermath, while most left one after another.

“Feng, I’ve arranged a little get-together tonight with friends I usually hang out with. If you’re free tonight, you can join us,”

After leaving the courtyard, Zhou Bingrui suddenly stopped Tang Feng and extended the invitation.

Clearly, by inviting Tang Feng to his private dinner, he had included him into his circle.

“Sure.”

It would be rude to refuse such kindness, so Tang Feng readily accepted on the spot.

While the two chatted idly, Xu Xinling was whispering to Song Lele on the side.

“Lele, what are you really thinking?” Xu Xinling asked in a hushed tone, leaning in close to Song Lele.

“Thinking about what?” Song Lele looked at her, perplexed.

“I’m asking what you think of Tang Feng. Are you going to keep disguising yourself as a man?” Xu Xinling pressed on.

“I… I don’t know.” Song Lele was extremely conflicted inside.

“I won’t wait for you. If you don’t make your move, then I won’t hold back,” Xu Xinling said, feeling relieved after speaking her mind.

Song Lele’s expression changed instantly, “You like him too?”

Xu Xinling responded as if it were obvious, “Yeah. He’s handsome, has a good temperament, and strives hard on his own merits. What woman wouldn’t like a man like that?”

Song Lele glared at her, clearly annoyed.

Her expression seemed to say, “I thought of you as my best friend, and now you want to steal my boyfriend?”

But Xu Xinling wasn’t intimidated and stood her ground confidently, “Don’t look at me like that.”

“Even though you knew him first, if you won’t pursue him, should others not pursue him either?”

“Rather than some other vile temptress, it’s better if he ends up with me.”

Song Lele found herself at a loss for words.

Truth be told, she was quite fond of Tang Feng.

Whether it was love, she wasn’t sure.

But she always enjoyed his company whenever they were together.

But still…

“Xinling, can you give me a little more time to think?” she pleaded with a helpless look, appearing pitiable.

Xu Xinling’s heart softened, “Well… okay, then.”

“Think about what?” Tang Feng, who had just walked over, looked at them quizzically.

“Nothing.”

Song Lele and Xu Xinling both spoke at once before lowering their heads, looking guilty.

Tang Feng didn’t suspect anything and simply asked, “Mr. Rui has invited us to dinner tonight, do you want to go with us?”

“I have no problem with that,” Xu Xinling agreed readily.

“I…”

Song Lele was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang.

She took it out to check the caller ID, and her face changed instantly.

“Sorry, I need to take this call.” After saying this, she quickly moved to a quieter spot and answered the phone.

Tang Feng clearly saw her demeanor becoming somber as they talked, whatever it was about.

Soon, she finished the call and came back, “I’m sorry, Mr. Rui, but… I’m afraid I can’t make it tonight. There’s an issue at home that I have to attend to.”

“What happened? Do you need help?” Tang Feng asked urgently upon noticing her troubled expression.

“It’s nothing, I can handle it myself,” Song Lele responded with a forced smile, “Shall I take you guys back first?”

“No need, we can just take a taxi later. Lele, you better hurry home,” Xu Xinling quickly intervened.

She clearly knew something but didn’t want to put Song Lele on the spot.

Song Lele didn’t persist and hurriedly drove off in her Porsche.

Tang Feng watched her car drive away, growing curious about what Xu Xinling knew, “Did something happen to her family?”

He’d never inquired about Song Lele’s family, yet from her expression, he could sense she was hiding some distress.

Xu Xinling sighed in resignation, “Don’t ask. Even if I told you, you couldn’t solve it.”

The more she resisted, the more Tang Feng wanted to know.

After a few roundabout questions which Xu Xinling refused to answer,

she finally told him to ask Song Lele himself if he was so curious.

Tang Feng could only give up.

The two then took a cab back to Ya Garden.

It was around five o’clock in the afternoon and the staff at Ya Garden were tidying up and preparing to leave work.

Seeing him return, Ge Hui came running over eagerly, “Mr. Tang, what brings you back? If there’s anything you need, just let me know.”

Tang Feng waved it off, “Nothing much, I just came to get my car. Make sure to lock all doors and windows securely. Things haven’t been very safe lately, and we can’t afford any theft.”

The antique circle’s news traveled fast; the staff had heard about the burglary at Lingxiu Residence and nodded in agreement, checking the doors and windows once more.

At Ya Garden, Qin Yanan undoubtedly held the foremost authority.

Zhang Jicheng, the chief appraiser, was next in line.

And Tang Feng, a newcomer of less than a week, undoubtedly held the third position in terms of influence.

When Zhang Jicheng retired in a while, Tang Feng’s influence would only grow.

Initially, the staff hadn’t taken too kindly to him.

But as Tang Feng displayed exceptional appraisal skills and brought a significant amount of business to the store today, he had definitely shut them up.

After all, if anyone else felt slighted, they could try bringing in such a large clientele for the store.

So now, when Tang Feng spoke, everyone listened with great respect.

Xu Xinling, seeing everyone’s deference towards Tang Feng, felt her heart flutter even more.

Which woman doesn’t fancy a powerful man?

And Tang Feng had earned this power entirely on his own merit, unlike those rich second-generation heirs that strut about relying on their families.

He was a man who could be worthy of her.

Lele, oh Lele, if you don’t make a move soon, I really won’t be polite anymore.
