After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1204 632: Enemies Cross Paths

Chen Feng's response was satisfactory for Guo Mengyao; she smiled and said, "Pu Fangye has some background, it seems like he has an uncle working in the city. However, the position probably isn't very high, so there's not much to worry about. But this guy is like sticky candy, even after I scolded him, he still comes to bother me from time to time."Chen Feng immediately promised, "If warning him with Qin Zhen doesn't work, I'll think of other ways to help you."

After all, he'd gotten involved with Guo Mengyao, and she was seeking his help to avoid harassment from other men, so Chen Feng definitely had to find a way to assist.

Otherwise, if he couldn't handle this, he might end up looking down on himself.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Guo Mengyao couldn't help but smile, "Alright, I believe you can do it."

In her eyes, Chen Feng has substantial social influence, just like when he stepped in to help her back then. He swiftly managed to sort out her company's other two shareholders, saving her company, and even managed to send her scumbag husband to jail, allowing her to finally escape that unfortunate marriage.

The powerful social influence Chen Feng demonstrated at that time remains firmly in her memory.

As for asking Qin Zhen to help warn Pu Fangye, she sees it merely as an excuse. Qin Zhen's family is considered a native gentry in their Lin Nan area, possessing a strong local network of connections, capable of handling just about anything.

There are a few similar native gentries, invisibly controlling various local upper-level resources, barely intersecting or engaging with the common folks.

But beyond Lin Nan County, families like the Qin family begin to dwindle, as other places also have similar families, let alone higher-end powerful clans.

In fact, Guo Mengyao's own family has some standing in Lin Nan too. Although not as influential as the Qin family, the difference isn't that substantial.

Thus, she's somewhat dismissive about having Qin Zhen step in to warn Pu Fangye.

Originally, she could entirely resort to her father, letting him step up to warn Pu Fangye, believing once her father intervenes, Pu Fangye wouldn't dare harass her anymore.

But that's definitely not what she wants; she wants Chen Feng, her man, to step up to drive away the rival, which makes her feel comfortable inside, believing Chen Feng cares for her and likes her.

This is very important to her.

The two then continued chatting about high school days, gradually shifting the topic to university, primarily Chen Feng asking about her college life, which made Guo Mengyao somewhat unhappy.

Because she had been deceived in university by that scumbag who became her ex-husband, she didn't want to be asked about these past events by Chen Feng.

Thus, Guo Mengyao proactively ended the night's chat, suggesting they go for a late-night snack.

Actually, it was only a little after ten at night, but Chen Feng hadn't eaten enough dinner, and having been driving and exercising, expended a lot of energy and indeed needed something to replenish.

The two drove off from Mengyao Cosmetics Company, and under Guo Mengyao's guidance, stopped at the foot of a hill a little over ten minutes later.

They were in a region abundant with hilly terrain, most of the old County Government residences were built leaning against the hilly landscape, designed to be easily defensible but hard to attack from a military and geographical standpoint.

In modern times, particularly in the last two or three decades, many who lived by the hillsides and halfway up the hills gradually moved down, with recent years seeing a large batch of old buildings dismantled along the old national highway by the hills.

A street that was once bustling over a decade ago had all its residences on either side completely torn down.

Many old houses halfway up the hills were demolished as well, but some remained, untouched and preserved.

Guo Mengyao brought Chen Feng to eat at a place preserved amidst the large-scale construct-and-demolish movement, a building from the 1980s.

Qing brick and tile, originally a courtyard with three connected two-story houses, now transformed into a warehouse-like restaurant.

The restaurant was given a literary and unique name: 1988 Restaurant.

According to Guo Mengyao, this restaurant has quite a few old items from the eighties, all obtained through various channels by the shop owner - treasures filled with nostalgic vibes.

Additionally, the restaurant's dishes are visually appealing, delectable, and aromatic; while somewhat expensive, it still attracts plenty of customers every day for dining and photo snapping.

Another feature of this restaurant is its late-night operation, closing as late as two in the morning.

Many couples choose to come here for midnight snacks, then sit together on the remodeled large balcony on the second floor to watch the stars or gaze at the brilliant lights of the old county town at the foot of the hill.

Clearly, Guo Mengyao shares similar sentiments, as her words reveal.

Yet, Chen Feng lacks romantic tendencies and doesn't plan to go along with such romantic affairs, intending to leave after the late-night snack.

The two took a spot on the second floor by the full-length window, observing the city nightscape beneath the hill.

Chen Feng ordered two dishes featuring oysters and sea cucumber, and finally a pigeon soup – with rice being a must, of course.

Guo Mengyao, on the other hand, ordered seven or eight more dishes in one go, claiming each dish here is relatively small, requiring a few more to be ordered.

After ordering, Guo Mengyao quirked an eyebrow at him and said, "Should I take you to a soup shop for some seahorse soup later tonight?"

Chen Feng of course understood the implicit meaning in her words, countering, "Don't forget how you once begged me for mercy, ambitious but not capable. If I get serious, you won't be able to walk tomorrow, believe it or not?"

Guo Mengyao was immediately flustered by his words, blushing, gave him a disdainful look, and sheepishly glanced around. Luckily, it was neither late-night nor daytime, and the customers were few, with only three tables including theirs on the second floor, spaced apart enough that their conversation likely wasn't heard.

As Guo Mengyao was about to retort, she saw two people coming up the stairs – a man and a woman. They caught her attention, and her face showed a look of surprise.

Chen Feng followed her gaze, turning to see the couple also looking at Guo Mengyao with surprise.

They were similar in age to Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao, appearing to be around thirty.

The man was about 1.7 meters tall, lean, with a crew cut, a large gold chain around his neck, wearing a black denim jacket over a long-sleeved shirt adorned with a golden eagle pattern underneath, paired with hole-ridden skinny jeans accentuating his scrawny legs.

The woman stood around 1.6 meters tall, average looking but with a voluptuous figure, sporting a somewhat tight white shirt emphasizing her prominent bosom, and wearing black trousers hugging her round hips snugly.

The man seemed familiar to Chen Feng, but he had no impression of the woman.

After the initial surprise, the man naturally greeted Guo Mengyao with a smile, then walked over cheerfully, "Mengyao, what a coincidence, bumping into you here. Haha, this is truly a case of arriving at the right moment, showing we have great chemistry."
