After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1160 610: Something Happened

Sun Yanhong shared everything she should and shouldn't with Chen Feng. It seemed like she trusted Chen Feng greatly, but only she knew that she revealed these insider secrets not known to outsiders mainly to pique Chen Feng's interest and gain his favor.She wanted Chen Feng to know that she not only had wealth but also a deep network of connections, and if he befriended her, he could live like an upper-class person in Xiu Zhou.

People are ranked in different classes, and this is unavoidable. Although Chen Feng is currently considered wealthy, he isn't exactly upper-class.

According to Sun Yanhong, having money without connections doesn't make you upper-class. A lawsuit could bankrupt you, but only those with wealth and connections are truly upper-class, able to protect their wealth and use and enjoy various societal resources.

Upper-class people enjoy privileges at every level of society—their needs for food, clothing, shelter, transportation, culture, education, and healthcare are prioritized. Only after they have had their fill do the leftovers trickle down to others.

This is the harsh reality!

Sun Yanhong's lofty views are not without some truth.

But telling these things to Chen Feng was somewhat like playing music to a cow, because Chen Feng really had no desire to become upper-class; he only wanted to be a free and easy homebody, content with enough money to live comfortably without the need to tirelessly pursue wealth and become its slave.

Of course, such a viewpoint comes with the privilege of already having a multi-million-dollar fortune.

If he were still the hard-working employee earning a few thousand a month without car or house, he would either lie down or most likely become a slave to money, working hard for it.

Another reason is his past battle with a terminal illness, having faced life-and-death trials, whereas everything else, including money, pales in importance.

Sun Yanhong's attempt to indoctrinate him with the so-called upper-class mentality fell on deaf ears.

He simply didn't have ambitious aspirations.

"Listen to me, next time, I'll get you an application form. You should apply to join our Xiu Zhou Chamber of Commerce. You're registered in Lu City, but it doesn't matter since your company is in Xiu Zhou; you're essentially a Xiu Zhou businessman.

With membership in the Xiu Zhou Chamber of Commerce, your social status will rise a notch. With this platform, you can meet many people with status, connections, and background, gradually becoming upper-class, living the life of the elite."

Sun Yanhong seemed genuinely enthusiastic about encouraging Chen Feng to strive to become upper-class.

This left Chen Feng speechless, thinking to himself whether he was considered lower-class now.

"Chen Feng, President Sun makes a good point; it's necessary to join the Xiu Zhou Chamber of Commerce. The benefits of being a member outweigh the disadvantages."

Jin Yongnian also advised him, aware of Sun Yanhong's intentions towards Chen Feng, but he agreed with her reasoning when it came to joining the Chamber.

Chen Feng turned to glance slightly at Jin Yongnian, feeling he was meddling unnecessarily, and instead of responding, he looked toward Zhou Qianru across the room and asked, "Sister Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Qianru had been silent all along, letting Sun Yanhong do most of the talking. Now that Chen Feng asked her, her already uneasy heart became more agitated, and she replied crossly, "I don't understand these things; whether to join the chamber or not, decide for yourself."

Chen Feng didn't mind, smiled, and said, "Let's talk about this later. For now, I don't want to join."

Sun Yanhong would have continued persuading, but her phone rang suddenly. She picked it up, glanced at it, and answered.

"Hello, what's up?"

Sun Yanhong asked casually.

"There's trouble, the land in Yanjiang is going to be forcibly reclaimed. You need to come over immediately, same place. Let's meet and discuss."

On the other end was a male with a deep voice.

The others in the room, sitting close, overheard parts of the conversation due to the high phone volume.

Sun Yanhong's face turned sour immediately. She quickly stood up to continue the conversation aside: "What's going on? Is someone behind this?"

"We don't know yet, but I have someone looking into it. Regardless, come over, and we can discuss it together."

"Okay, I'm heading over now."

It was urgent, so Sun Yanhong definitely needed to go.

After hanging up, she came over and apologized to Chen Feng, saying, "Sorry, something came up, and I need to head over. Can we meet for tea next time?"

Chen Feng glanced at Zhou Qianru and ambiguously said, "We'll talk next time."

Sun Yanhong didn't push further, nodded, and said, "Alright, next time then, let's stay in touch. I'm off now."

With those words, Sun Yanhong left with Zhou Qianru.

Once the two women left, Jin Yongnian couldn't help but caution Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you should avoid getting involved with Sun Yanhong, not just because of her reputation but also because she's known for wild antics. You understand what I mean?"

Chen Feng was his daughter's love interest, and the previous entanglement with Liu Ying had given the future father-in-law a headache, so he certainly didn't want Chen Feng tangled up with Sun Yanhong.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in her."

After saying that, Chen Feng lifted his teacup and drank it up before standing and saying, "Let's leave as well."

"Wait a moment, I have something more to tell you."

Jin Yongnian pulled him back to the seat.

Chen Feng, guessing what he wanted to discuss, took the lead saying, "If it's about Liu Ying, there's no need to talk about her."

Previously, Chen Feng had respected Jin Xinyan, thus gave Jin Yongnian face, but that didn't mean he considered himself his junior, much less his future son-in-law.

If Jin Yongnian wanted a detailed talk about Liu Ying, Chen Feng was not inclined to do so.

Perhaps sensing Chen Feng's attitude, Jin Yongnian quickly shook his head and said, "It's not about her; I want to talk about Xinyan. Be honest with me; have you thought about marrying Xinyan?"

Of course, Chen Feng hadn't thought of it, but considering Jin Yongnian's emotional capacity, Chen Feng offered a kind lie: "Of course, but I just divorced last year, and for the next year or two, I don't want to remarry. Matters of the heart require careful thought."

Jin Yongnian let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Chen Feng's words, happily saying, "Affairs of the heart certainly require caution, but it shouldn't be dragged out too long. I think you could easily get engaged by the end of the year, and as for marriage, waiting a year or two wouldn't be a problem."

Jin Xinyan is only 23 this year, so marrying in a couple of years isn't considered late.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng candidly asked, "Then what about Liu Ying? If I tell Xinyan, she might not forgive me."
