Xu Youle immediately ran to the side of the Ferrari, his eyes filled with adoration.

The lethality of a luxury car to any man is truly extraordinary.

"Lin Fei, you rented this, right?"

"I bought it."

"Are you kidding your old man? I don't believe it."

Xu Youle rolled his eyes at Lin Fei, completely refusing to believe that this was something Lin Fei could afford.

"Renting this car for a day can't be cheap, right? After we eat, take me for a couple of spins so I can experience the G-force of a Ferrari."

Lin Fei took out the car keys and tossed them to Xu Youle.

"If you like it, I'll lend it to you for a couple of days, but you aren't allowed to use my car to pick up girls!"

Xu Youle opened the door and sat inside, touching this and looking at that, as curious as a child seeing a new toy.

"Hey, why does this car look like a brand-new one? It's so clean."

"Nonsense, it is a brand-new car; the purchase contract is still right there."

Xu Youle picked up the purchase contract and took a look, his entire person completely stunned.

He hurriedly climbed out of the car and stared at Lin Fei with an expression like he had seen a ghost.

"Lin Fei, tell me the truth: did you win the lottery, or were you kept by some rich woman?"

Lin Fei shook his head and smiled, knowing this was quite a shock for Xu Youle.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it for a while either.

A brother he usually ate street food with suddenly driving a luxury car—anyone would find that hard to process.

"Just pretend I won the lottery."

"No wonder you dared to curse at Pig Intestine; so you struck it rich, you brat. If I'd known, I wouldn't have suggested a street food stall. We should've gone to a five-star hotel and fleeced you for a massive meal."

"Heh, there will be plenty of chances later. Did you order the food yet?"

"Not yet, I was waiting for you, and for Zheng Qian."

Lin Fei looked at Xu Youle with some confusion; usually, when the two of them met for a meal, they never invited girls.

After all, two grown men drinking and bragging—if a woman were around, it would inevitably be a bit stifling.

"Why did you call Zheng Qian? Are you two seeing each other?"

"Go on, stop joking. Zheng Qian likes you. If you didn't already have a girlfriend, she probably would have confessed to you long ago."

At this moment, a taxi pulled up to the side of the road, and Zheng Qian stepped out.

She ran toward the direction of Lin Fei and Xu Youle, even turning her head to glance at the silver Ferrari.

"What a handsome sports car. Why is it parked here?"

Xu Youle smiled and gestured toward Lin Fei with his chin.

Zheng Qian didn't understand what he meant and looked at Lin Fei in confusion.

"What is Xu Youle laughing at?"

"Uh... that's my car."

"Are you kidding me?"

Zheng Qian laughed, but when she saw Lin Fei's dead-serious expression and Xu Youle nodding repeatedly, she was also stunned into silence.

"You..."

"Alright, enough about the car. Let's order first and chat while we eat."

The three of them ordered their food and began to chat casually.

Some young people passing by ran over to the Ferrari to take photos, and some bold young girls even leaned against the car.

Lin Fei originally wanted to intervene, but there were too many people to manage, so he couldn't be bothered.

"Old Xu, I should thank you both for standing up to testify for me today. I'll use tea instead of wine; let's have a toast."

Lin Fei raised his teacup and clinked it against those of Xu Youle and Zheng Qian.

"By the way, you two getting together today—it's not just to treat me to a meal, right? Is there something else?"

Xu Youle and Zheng Qian exchanged a look, their eyes darting back and forth as if they were both embarrassed to speak.

"I'll say it. Lin Fei, Zheng Qian and I were fired today."

"What?"

Lin Fei was somewhat surprised, but he quickly realized that he had likely implicated them.

They had stood up to testify for him, and since Cao Rui was narrow-minded and couldn't retaliate against him, he had taken it out on them instead.

"So, what are your plans?"

Xu Youle placed a hand on Lin Fei's shoulder and said with a grin, "The two of us came to find you today because we thought that since we'd all been fired, we were all in the same boat—we wanted to grab a drink and comfort each other."

"But looking at it now, you've hit the big time, and we're the only ones left heartbroken. You're definitely paying the bill today!"

Zheng Qian also smiled; they didn't feel jealous or envious just because Lin Fei had become successful.

On the contrary, she was quite happy for him.

"Although we were all fired, Zhu Dacheng has also been suspended pending investigation. I believe he won't have a good ending, and that is worth celebrating."

"By the way, Lin Fei, who was that pretty girl who came to the company to find you this morning? She didn't seem like your girlfriend..."

Lin Fei didn't hide anything and explained, "My girlfriend and I didn't reach an agreement regarding the bride price, so we broke up."

"The girl who came to the company today is the eldest daughter of Longhua Group. Her name is Wu Yuqing, and we are friends, I suppose."

He had only known Wu Yuqing for two or three days, so calling them friends was actually a bit of a stretch.

However, if he asked her for a favor, she likely wouldn't refuse.

Xu Youle and Zheng Qian were even more shocked.

"The eldest daughter of Longhua Group!"

"No wonder Cao Rui acted like a sycophant when he saw her. How do you know Wu Yuqing?"

Lin Fei rubbed his nose, feeling that explaining it would be a bit troublesome.

After all, there were quite a few things involved.

"It's a long story. If you two want to work at Longhua Group, I can ask her for help, and she shouldn't refuse."

Arranging for two people to enter Longhua Group was just a matter of a single word from Wu Yuqing.

Xu Youle and Zheng Qian were both a bit tempted.

Longhua Group had a great reputation in Yunzhou; if they could work there, they wouldn't have to worry about finding new jobs.

"Originally, besides grabbing a drink and comforting each other, we wanted to pull you in to start a business together. But since you're doing well now, there's no need for you to mess around with us."

"If we really can't find good jobs, we'll trouble you to ask Wu Yuqing for help then."

Lin Fei's heart stirred. He was currently busy with the matter of planting medicinal herbs in Nanli City, and he was short on reliable people here on Earth.

Although Xu Youle and Zheng Qian didn't have any extraordinary talents, they had the advantage of being trustworthy.

If he kept them by his side, they might be able to help him with quite a few things.

"How about you two work for me?"

"Work for you doing what?"

"Whatever I tell you to do, you do. In any case, I won't treat you unfairly; your salary will be triple what you were making before."

Xu Youle said with a pained expression, "Yesterday we were still colleagues, and today you want to climb over our heads and become our boss!"

"Sigh, I'm willing... triple the pay, you're offering way too much!"

Zheng Qian burst into laughter, amused by the scene.

"Hehe, I'm willing too."

Lin Fei raised his teacup.

"Come, let us drink to this!"

Xu Youle and Zheng Qian said in unison, "Boss, we toast you!"
