Chapter 5

"Second Master is really quick, I'll grab it!"

Chen Xiaobei grinned and immediately clicked to grab the red envelope.

Ding — Congratulations on grabbing the Red Envelope from Marshal Tianpeng, you have received a small treasure chest, which has been added to your treasure box. Do you want to withdraw it?

"Second Master is really generous! He actually gave me a whole box!" Chen Xiaobei's eyes sparkled as he quickly climbed onto the bed and covered his head with the blanket.

Withdraw!

A flash of light, and a small wooden box appeared before him.

Chen Xiaobei couldn't wait to open it. Inside were ten small gold ingots and some accessories like gold hairpins and jade hairpins.

The gold wasn't much, and the accessories weren't particularly exquisite, after all, they were from Gao Lao Village...

But for Chen Xiaobei, who came from a rural area, this was enough to make him tremble with excitement: "I've struck it rich! I'm going to turn from a poor peasant into a wealthy man! Wahahaha!"

"Third Brother, what are you doing under the blanket? Watching porn again?" Zhang Fengyi, with an excited look, approached: "Good stuff should be shared, you know?"

"No! I'm not watching porn!"

Chen Xiaobei poked his head out from under the blanket and asked, "Second Brother, you're a rich second generation from Qingteng City, do you know where to sell gold?"

"Your family is a three-generation poor peasant, where would you get gold to sell?" Zhang Fengyi asked curiously.

"This is hard to explain in a few words, just tell me quickly." Chen Xiaobei said vaguely.

Zhang Fengyi nodded and said, "All major jewelry stores buy gold. The price is about 300 yuan per gram. Don't get cheated."

"Got it, I'll go there tomorrow. If it goes well, I'll treat you all to a big meal!" Chen Xiaobei said excitedly.

"What? Did we hear that right?"

The three roommates looked at him in surprise: "You're treating us to a meal? This is like a once-in-a-lifetime event!"

"You heard right! Tomorrow, cancel all your dates. Second Brother, book the best restaurant, and we'll eat to our heart's content, on me!" Chen Xiaobei said proudly.

Since entering college, Chen Xiaobei had never felt so elated.

One word — awesome!

"Haha! In that case, we'll thank Mr. Chen in advance!" The three roommates beamed.

Going to the best restaurant was a rare opportunity for college students.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Chen Xiaobei took the bus to the city center.

On the way, he kept checking the Three Realms Red Envelope Group, but unfortunately, everyone was just chatting, and there were no red envelopes to grab.

Getting off at the city center, the first thing he saw in the most bustling area was the sign of Dafeng Jewelry.

As the largest jewelry store in Qingteng City, it always catered to the high-end market and was highly favored by the upper class.

"Tsk tsk, this place is really impressive, even the security guards are so tall and strong. I'll choose this one!" Chen Xiaobei walked over excitedly but was stopped by the security guard at the door.

"Stop! You can't go in!" the security guard said sternly.

"Why? Is it because I'm dressed too shabbily?" Chen Xiaobei frowned, knowing his own situation.

Because his family was poor, he had been wearing the same set of clothes for three years, which were already washed to a pale color.

"You are dressed shabbily, but that's not the main reason."

The security guard shook his head and said, "The store is currently hosting an extremely important VIP! No customers can enter until they leave."

"What VIP? They actually close the store for them? That's too much!" Chen Xiaobei was surprised.

"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know. Now, get lost, don't be an eyesore. The boss will scold me if he sees you." The security guard said irritably.

"Fine, I'll try another store." Chen Xiaobei shrugged, not wanting to argue with the security guard.

When he had money and status, such snobbish people would naturally bow and scrape, humble as dogs.

But just then, a harsh voice came from behind.

"Scrawny brat! What are you doing here? Get the hell out of here! Don't bring bad luck to my store!"

The person who came was none other than Shi Mingwei, with Yao Bingbing clinging to him like a dog plaster.

"Your store?" Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. This was truly a narrow encounter.

"Of course!"

Yao Bingbing said acidly, "Dafeng Jewelry is run by Mingwei's family! Security! Get rid of this peasant! He's probably here to cause trouble!"

Chen Xiaobei's face turned cold, and he said disdainfully, "If I knew you two were here, I wouldn't come even if you invited me with a grand sedan chair!"

"Damn! You dare to expose my scar on my own turf! Do you think I, Shi Mingwei, am a pushover?" Shi Mingwei roared.

"You don't eat vegetables, you eat... shit." Chen Xiaobei said calmly.

"You...!" Shi Mingwei almost choked on his own blood, and he roared, "I'm Shi Mingwei! I can crush you, a little peasant, with one hand!"

"You ate shit." Chen Xiaobei shrugged.

"My father is Shi Dafeng! He's worth three hundred million!"

"You ate shit."

"My cousin is the gang leader! He has over a hundred followers!"

"You ate shit."

"Poof..." Shi Mingwei took three steps back, clutching his chest, trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit blood. He felt like he was about to faint from anger.

"Can you stop mentioning the shit you ate?" Shi Mingwei roared.

Chen Xiaobei nodded and said calmly, "You vomited shit all over Yao Bingbing's face, and the students took photos of it, which went viral on the school forum."

This casual remark dealt a ten-thousand-fold blow to Shi Mingwei and Yao Bingbing.

"Shut up!"

Shi Mingwei and Yao Bingbing screamed in anger, their faces twisted in rage, wishing they could find a block of tofu to bash their heads against.

"Double kill!" Chen Xiaobei smiled mockingly, savoring his victory.

"Security! What are you standing there for? Get rid of this little brat immediately!" Shi Mingwei roared in anger, his hands trembling with rage, looking like he was having a seizure.

"Yes!" The security guard swallowed hard. He had worked here for many years and had never seen the arrogant Shi Mingwei be humiliated like this by an outsider.

But just then, a sinister voice came from inside the store.

"What's going on! How dare you make a commotion here! If you offend the VIP, I'll make you pay!"

A middle-aged, fat man in a suit came out, his face as arrogant and domineering as Shi Mingwei's.

Clearly, he was Shi Mingwei's father, the owner of Dafeng Jewelry, Shi Dafeng!

"Father! Uncle!"

Shi Mingwei and Yao Bingbing immediately stood behind Shi Dafeng, whispering complaints about Chen Xiaobei.

"Shut up! You're my son, Shi Dafeng, and you can't even deal with a little peasant? How embarrassing!" Shi Dafeng was in a bad mood, probably because a deal had fallen through.

At that moment, the VIP also came out, looking at Chen Xiaobei in surprise.

"How is it you?"
