Upon recognizing Ye Feng's appearance, Xuanxuan's heart was already in turmoil. Ever since she caught a glimpse of him at Liancheng Mall last time, she became increasingly certain that he was Koko's father. At that time, she had painstakingly investigated as Yingying suggested, but found no information. Later, her work got in the way, so she couldn't continue the investigation.

She never expected to see Ye Feng here again. Moreover, his identity seemed quite extraordinary, even Zheng Guozhong treated him with utmost respect.

Just as she was about to ask, Ye Feng spoke to Zheng Guozhong, "Old Zheng, handle this matter properly, I have some things to attend to." With that, he left, not giving Xuanxuan a chance to speak. Ye Feng's steps were hurried, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared down the corridor.

Xuanxuan could only suppress her doubts, staring blankly at Ye Feng's disappearing figure.

"Miss Xuanxuan, are you alright?" Zheng Guozhong asked, seeing Xuanxuan in a daze.

Xuanxuan snapped back to reality and quickly asked, "Mr. Zheng, who is he? What's his name?"

Zheng Guozhong was momentarily taken aback by her question, then replied, "You mean that young man? He's the son of a client of our company, named Li Hai."

Zheng Guozhong lied to Xuanxuan. This was what Ye Feng had instructed earlier. To avoid being detected by the Ye family prematurely, Ye Feng felt it wasn't the right time to reveal his identity. He had already instructed Zheng Guozhong to conceal his information.

Upon hearing this, Xuanxuan showed a hint of disappointment. It seemed he wasn't Koko's father, just someone who looked similar.

"Why? Miss Xuanxuan, are you interested in this young man?" Zheng Guozhong asked tentatively.

"No... not at all!" Xuanxuan quickly explained, "He just looks a lot like a friend I used to know."

Zheng Guozhong was instantly relieved. He didn't dwell on the topic and continued, "Miss Xuanxuan, I apologize for what happened here. We'll hand Luo Ren over to the police for his offense against you."

Xuanxuan remained silent. Today's events were a huge blow to her. If she hadn't unexpectedly seen Ye Feng, she might still be in shock.

Seeing her silence, Zheng Guozhong quickly said, "Miss Xuanxuan, let me arrange for someone to take you home first. As for the cooperation matter, I'll have someone come to your company to discuss it as compensation for what happened today."

Zheng Guozhong spoke patiently. His approach was already quite considerate. Xuanxuan had no complaints and could only nod. Zheng Guozhong handled matters maturely and comprehensively, leaving no room for criticism. He found a reliable subordinate to escort Xuanxuan away and then instructed on the cooperation with Mengsi Company. If nothing unexpected happened, the collaboration between Mengsi and Yunfeng Group was as good as finalized.

After leaving Yunfeng Tower, Ye Feng headed straight to Liancheng Mall. Just as he was about to call Luo Yan, a call came in. It was from Su Weiwei. He quickly answered.

"Old classmate, have you been busy lately?" Su Weiwei's pleasant voice came from the other end. Su Weiwei had always been not only beautiful but also had a lovely voice, and she was the class's entertainment committee member. Many had pursued her back then. However, Ye Feng never expected her to end up with such an unsuitable man. Perhaps it was the blow of failing to win over Ye Feng back then, or maybe there were other more complex reasons. Whatever the reason, her life in recent years had been a mess.

Hearing Su Weiwei's words, Ye Feng sighed, "My dear Miss Su, I'm currently unemployed, with plenty of free time. Are you planning to treat me to a meal?"

Su Weiwei seemed to be in a good mood today and replied cheerfully, "No problem, come to Liancheng Mall, I'll treat you to a big meal."

"I'm already here."

"Why don't you come up to my store and give me some guidance?" Su Weiwei suggested.

"Alright, I'll be there shortly."

After hanging up, Ye Feng walked into the mall and sent a message to Luo Yan, asking them to wait at the mall entrance for a while. Ye Feng arrived at Su Weiwei's store, which was bustling with young couples shopping for clothes. Ye Feng had seen the clothes in Su Weiwei's store before; they were trendy and stylish, perfect for young people. The store had hired two salespeople who were polite and enthusiastic, constantly offering clothes for customers to try on. If the store continued to operate this way, it would definitely not face the brink of bankruptcy again.

Ye Feng stood at the entrance, not going in. Su Weiwei, busy with work, saw Ye Feng and put down what she was doing, running over with a smile, "How did you get here so fast?"

"The store's business seems good!"

"Thanks to you, if it weren't for your help, I'd be sleeping on the streets now. Thank you, Ye Feng!" Su Weiwei said seriously, her smile fading.

Indeed, if she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Ye Feng, the store would have closed down. If it weren't for Ye Feng's advice to be ruthless and fire those two salespeople, she wouldn't be in her current situation. Although Ye Feng hadn't helped much directly, his impact on her was significant. Su Weiwei was genuinely grateful to Ye Feng.

"What's this? Are you so moved you're ready to marry me?" Ye Feng teased.

"You're so improper," Su Weiwei scolded playfully. She knew now that a romantic relationship with Ye Feng was impossible. Therefore, she didn't harbor any romantic fantasies about him, focusing instead on their old school friendship.

"Alright, do you think I need to make any changes?" Ye Feng looked at the store, thought for a moment, and said, "If you want to be content with stability, this is already very good. But if you want to develop a career, you need to change your business strategy."

Su Weiwei had once been a career-driven woman and had done quite well. But marriage had been a huge blow to her, not only making her life chaotic but also delaying her career. Now that she was divorced, she wanted to focus more on her career. Hearing Ye Feng's words, she quickly said, "Old classmate, of course, I want to grow and expand."

"Let's go eat first, and then you can give me more advice."

She was a smart woman and never underestimated Ye Feng. She knew that Ye Feng, who had once built a billion-dollar business from scratch, was definitely a business mogul. His advice was invaluable and could be a turning point in her career.
