After Fei Bai finished speaking, he heard Xu Geyang’s breath pause.
“Fei Bai, I know you. You wouldn’t do that.” Xu Geyang immediately restrained the intentionally flirtatious tone he had just used and then somewhat weakly added, “Right?”
Fei Bai said irritably, “Right my ass! Let me tell you, Xu Geyang, if you dare to say one more word to me, I don’t know what I’ll do.” After saying this, he hung up.
This time, Xu Geyang learned his lesson and indeed did not call again.
Fei Bai threw his phone onto the bed, pulled the curtains shut, and then sat on the edge of the bed with his arms on his sides, feeling all mixed up inside.
Actually, he shouldn’t have revealed that he knew Luo Yusen. What if Xu Geyang goes to Luo Yusen now and tells him who he is? His plan would be ruined.
But then again, maybe not. After threatening Xu Geyang today, he might hesitate to really do that. If he reminded Luo Yusen of who he was at this moment, it would look like he was guilty.
But Xu Geyang’s brain seemed to belong to the type that could be donated to a hotpot restaurant now. Can he really expect this person to act normally?
Impulsiveness does indeed involve risks.
All he could do now was hope for the best. If Xu Geyang told Luo Yusen, he’d have to accept his bad luck. If he didn’t, he needed to take action as soon as possible to avoid more trouble.
The next day, when Fei Bai went to Luo’s house to teach Luo Fei Fei, he didn’t encounter Luo Yusen. He was nervous the whole time, afraid that Aunt Zhang or someone else would tell him not to come anymore because Luo Yusen didn’t want to see him.

Fortunately, the people at Luo’s house treated him as usual, which eased his mind a little.

Just as he reached this part, the network lagged a bit, and the audio didn’t load. This sparked Luo Feifei’s interest. She reached out her small arm and pushed his arm, asking what came next.
Fei Bai was just about to sing when suddenly he forgot the lyrics. He blinked, feeling like a well-educated tutor from a prestigious family couldn’t falter on a nursery rhyme. So, he improvised a line, singing, “I asked the swallow why you came, and the swallow said… the swallow said, ‘Manage yourself.'”
Luo Feifei fell silent for a moment. Her expression on her little face was very serious, as if she thought he sang it incorrectly. She furrowed her eyebrows and glanced at Fei Bai, then at his phone.
Fei Bai nervously covered the screen. Just then, the network became smooth again, and the audio continued playing, “…the swallow says the spring here is the most beautiful.”
He suddenly felt like he was caught by his Chinese teacher in high school when he fabricated famous quotes in his essays.
However, Fei Bai was very good at adapting to situations. He coughed and said, “Feifei, can you tell that my singing is different from the person singing on the phone?”
Luo Feifei nodded confidently.
“You got it right, Feifei, you’re amazing.” Fei Bai pretended naturally to pause the children’s song on his phone. “Alright, let’s continue learning.”
Throughout the class, he was somewhat distracted, wondering if he would see Luo Yusen today. If he could see him, he could confirm whether his attitude toward him had changed.
But Luo Yusen didn’t show up all day. Fei Bai didn’t catch a glimpse of him from morning until evening, when he left.
On his way back home, he couldn’t help but ask the driver in Luo’s business car, “Why didn’t we see Mr. Luo today?”
“Mr. Luo is probably busy,” the driver replied vaguely.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had driven Fei Bai. Some time ago, whenever Fei Bai came for lessons, Luo Yusen’s time to leave work and return home would be earlier. He would casually give an excuse and personally drive Fei Bai home in the evening.
But today was an exception.
He guessed something might have happened in Luo Yusen’s company. However, it wasn’t appropriate to tell Fei Bai. After all, gossiping about one’s employer behind their back wasn’t a wise move.
Meanwhile, the lights were on in the Fengyun Technology building. Luo Yushen sat behind his desk, with Luo Chengcheng standing in front of him, looking embarrassed. There were two contracts on the table.
“Brother, I was wrong. I really didn’t know they were playing dirty tricks,” Luo Chengcheng cautiously lifted his head to look at Luo Yusen.
One of the contracts on the table was the one he signed when he hired Fei Bai to accompany him for drinks. It stated that Fengyun authorized the other party to sell at a price 2% lower than the retail price. In the other contract, this number had been changed to 20%.
The contract with a 2% discount was fine. But after the finance department received the remittance from the other company today, they found that the amount was lower than agreed upon. When they called to inquire, the other party directly sent a copy of the contract over, showing the price as what they had paid. And this contract also had Fengyun’s official seal.
Luo Yusen’s first reaction was that the other party was forging documents. But Luo Chengcheng remembered the incident when he mistakenly took the other party’s contract after getting out of the taxi that day. His heart sank, and he quickly reported it to Luo Yusen.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yusen immediately guessed the situation. Since the other party dared to inflate the profits tenfold, they probably didn’t intend to cooperate with Fengyun in the future and were only looking to make a quick profit, even at the risk of damaging their relationship.
Seeing that Luo Yusen remained indifferent to his apology, Luo Chengcheng feared that his brother might dismiss him on the spot, causing him to lose this job that gave him a sense of security despite being improper.
So, he braced himself and suggested, “Brother, should we resort to legal procedures? Isn’t there a saying that we should wield legal weapons to protect our legitimate rights?”
Luo Yusen glanced at his cousin, whose legal knowledge was limited to high school political textbooks, with an expressionless face. “Firstly, we have no evidence to prove fraud. The club doesn’t have surveillance cameras, and you didn’t record the conversation during the business negotiation. Secondly, one party has already fulfilled the contract. Even if we resort to legal procedures, there’s no chance of declaring the contract invalid. We can only consider evaluation. It’s certain that we’ll incur losses. It’s just a matter of how much.”
“Even a little less loss is still a loss. Maybe we can lose less,” Luo Chengcheng hurriedly said.
Luo Yusen didn’t speak. He clenched his hand into a fist, tapping his knuckles on the tabletop. After a while, he said calmly, “Since we have to bear the loss anyway, the more significant the amount, the better.”
Luo Chengcheng’s mouth opened wide in astonishment. What was wrong with his brother? Had he been so shocked that his brain had turned stupid?
However, after his cousin spoke the next sentence, he understood what he meant.
Luo Yusen calmly asked, “To what extent is Xu Xiangcheng involved in this deal?”
