After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 862 - 462: A Boring Day (Part 2)

Alright! The little conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as the younger brother and son, he really shouldn't get involved. He quickly changed the topic: "Mom, I've made plans with some classmates to go to the county town. If you don't have anything for me, I'm going to head over now."

"Alright, alright. Go if you want. Are you coming back home for lunch?"

"I probably won't be back for lunch. I'll be back for dinner though. When are you and Dad coming back? If it's convenient, I can pick you up."

"Around five or six. You can come pick us up then."

"Okay, I should have time then. I'm heading out now."

After speaking, Chen Feng waved to his mom and quickly left.

Chen Feng didn't really pay much attention to the small supermarket and rental rooms here. If it weren't for his mom being particularly concerned, he wouldn't bother coming by.

The problem is that he had nothing to do here, and his mom loves to nag, so he definitely didn't want to stick around.

While driving, Chen Feng didn't head straight to the county town. Instead, he took a spin around Yuelou Town and then stopped next to an empty road with little traffic, turned on the music and air conditioning, and lay back in his seat, watching the scenery outside.

The countryside offers plenty of pastoral scenery. Where he parked, the road was flanked by lush green rice fields about to ripen.

It was a bit hot, and Chen Feng didn't feel like getting out of the car. Otherwise, he could have taken a walk in the fields.

He took out his phone, intending to take some photos of the rice fields through the car window when he got a notification. Checking the message, it was from Tian Xiaoman.

Chen Feng originally thought that after last night, they would slowly lose contact, especially since he had made things so clear to her then.

He opened the message: [Brother Chen, my female colleague wanted to invite me to her birthday party again. She said she's inviting all the colleagues from the whole grade level. She insists I participate. Do you think I should refuse?]

For a typical message, Chen Feng wouldn't really want to reply, but knowing what happened to her last night, he felt sympathetic and, being somewhat bored, he replied: [You should definitely refuse. Just be blunt with this kind of colleague. Don't associate with her, or she'll definitely cause trouble for you in the future.]

Tian Xiaoman was initially just trying her luck, thinking there was a great possibility Chen Feng wouldn't reply. But unexpectedly, not only did he reply, he did so quite quickly—it was quite a pleasant surprise for her.

[At my workplace, she's the only friend I have that's somewhat close. If I cut ties with her, I won't have any friends there.]

[You don't need friends who backstab you and sell you out. Just listen to me and break off with her.]

[Then things will get even harder for me at work. The female colleagues mostly ostracize me, while the male colleagues constantly harass me. Two single male colleagues keep trying to win my favor every day, it's so frustrating.]

Chen Feng didn't think she was exaggerating or trying to deceive him. Beautiful women often face such situations, disliked by their peers and pursued by the opposite sex.

[You're beautiful, it's inevitable. Sometimes a woman's beauty is her original sin. It's difficult to avoid in your situation. But if you had a powerful backer, like a connected boyfriend or relative, to keep them in line, it wouldn't be so difficult.]

[I wish I had that, but I come from an ordinary background and am still single. Where would I find such a boyfriend or relative?]

[Then there's nothing you can do. You could try looking, like that education bureau leader's son who was pursuing you last time. If he became your boyfriend, I guarantee all your colleagues would treat you amicably, always smiling at you.]

[That guy has great qualifications and is somewhat handsome, but unfortunately, I have absolutely no feelings for him. I've heard he's already engaged now.]

[What does being engaged matter? With your abilities, if you wanted to pursue him, I'm sure you could win him over.]

[Sigh, I'm just that stubborn. If I don't like someone, I don't like them. It's hard to forget someone I do like.]

[From what you're saying, you haven't fallen for me, have you?]

[Yes, but you're such a flirt and already have several women. I'm not foolish enough to throw myself at you.]

[That's true. As long as you're not foolish, you shouldn't have any fantasies about me.]

Seeing this, although feeling a bit powerless, Tian Xiaoman quickly took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and typed again: [Do you know any outstanding young talents? As long as they're half as good as you.]

Chen Feng, still bored, typed back: [Your standard is a bit high.]

Tian Xiaoman was almost amused by his message, but on reflection, he wasn't exactly bragging. Not many at his age have achieved his level by relying on their own abilities, while most of his peers depended on their parents.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, achieved his success entirely through his abilities. Whether it was winning the lottery or the money earned from stock trading, it was all due to his skills.

[How about someone a third as good as you?]

[There is one, but he's about to get engaged. So, you're a bit late.]

Upon seeing this, Tian Xiaoman couldn't help but tease: [Isn't he not engaged yet? Even if he is, I believe with my charm, I can still win his heart.]

[Haha, you really are. How about this, I'll try to ask around, see if there's any connection with the education bureau or Third Middle School. If there is, you can make a connection, and then you'll have backing. With someone shielding you, work will go much smoother.]

[Really? Don't get my hopes up only to let me down.]

[I graduated from the First Middle School, and many classmates are locals, so I should be able to find the connection you need. But weren't you also from the county? Doesn't your family have some powerful relatives?]

[There is one, my mom's cousin, who used to work at the xx bureau and later got promoted. I think he works at the county now, but we haven't been in touch for years. Suddenly reaching out doesn't seem necessary.]

[Then forget it, I'll help you find out. Wait for my news.]

[Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic? You're not interested in me, are you...]

[Don't flatter yourself. I'm just feeling sorry for you, and since I'm currently bored and looking for something to do, I decided to help casually. Let's end this here. I'll let you know if there's news.]

After sending the message, Chen Feng called Qin Zhen.

He didn't keep in touch with many high school classmates, just Qin Zhen, Mengyao, and Fang Xiaoyue. He was closest to Qin Zhen, and this guy had quite a few relatives in the system, making it convenient to inquire about this matter.
