  Outside the Zhao family's quadrangle courtyard, Feng Sicheng saw Duan Yunpeng leaning against a black Crown car, holding a cigarette in his hand, with wisps of smoke rising from the tip of the cigarette, wearing a black suit.

  "Hey, you've finally come out. How are you? Haven't forgotten me, have you?" As soon as Feng Sicheng walked out, Duan Yunpeng's face broke into a smile.

  "What's going on today? Why are you dressed so formally?" Feng Sicheng didn't directly answer Duan Yunpeng's words, but instead changed direction and asked.

  When Feng Si Zhe said that, Duan Yun Peng first looked down at his own clothes, then chuckled and said, "Isn't this because I wanted to see you? I thought about how to make you like me so I put on this outfit. Alas, don't mention it, wearing something so formal makes my whole body feel awkward."

  Duan Yunpeng is indeed not pretending, at least in front of Feng Siche, he showed a very genuine side, not putting on airs as a member of the Duan family, which is quite admirable.

  "No need to dress up specially just to see me. Hmm, you must have something on your mind, right?" Seeing Duan Yunpeng making an effort to change his appearance, Feng Sicheng thought that he must have something to say, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the Siheyuan.

  "Hey, you actually guessed it right. Today is my birthday and I was thinking of inviting you to celebrate with me. How about it? You won't say you don't have time, will you?" Duan Yunpeng seemed a bit afraid that Feng Sichao would reject him, and his tone wasn't very confident when he said these words.

  "Oh? It's your birthday, haha, then I should congratulate you first. Okay, wait a minute, I'll change into a new set of clothes." Feng Si Zhe looked at Duan Yun Peng and didn't know whether it was true or false, but in any case, the other person had found an irresistible reason to invite himself over. After all, it's your birthday, you can't disappoint the birthday boy.

  "Alright, alright, we'll wait for you." As soon as Feng Sicheng nodded in agreement, Duan Yunpeng immediately started nodding busily, looking extremely pleased.

  Feng Siche looked at Duan Yunpeng and smiled, "Do you want to come in and wait?" As he spoke, Feng Siche made a welcoming gesture.

  "Oh, no need for that, I'll just go out first, and since we didn't prepare anything today, let's not go see Grandpa Zhao." Duan Yunpeng hastily waved his hand.

  Feng Sichu thought that since he didn't want to come in, there must be a reason for it. Maybe now he only represents himself and can't represent the Duan family. If this rashly walking into the Zhao family's courtyard gets out, the impact won't be small. He simply nodded and walked back into the quadrangle courtyard.

  He entered the courtyard, greeted his grandfather and said that Duan Jianghe's eldest son, Duan Yunpeng, was celebrating his birthday today, so he would go by himself and might be back a bit late. After nodding to his maternal grandfather, he returned to his room, changed into an Animax suit, took out a wad of cash from the drawer, thinking that no matter what, when someone celebrates their birthday, he should also give some gifts in return. Although this kind of gift-giving is somewhat vulgar, it's indeed unavoidable. He had seen many surveys on websites about this aspect, and exchanging small gifts can play a significant role in deepening the relationship between two people.

  Feng Siche got out of the quadrangle courtyard and sat in the Crown car driven by Duan Yunpeng, and the two people left the quadrangle courtyard and drove away.

  As soon as they got on the car, Duan Yunpeng smiled and said that the dinner location was booked at Meidiya Center, where many of his friends were waiting, and he would introduce them to Feng Siche later.

  Regarding Meidiya Center, Feng Zhe is not unfamiliar with it. It was just opened in Kyoto last month and is a comprehensive leisure entertainment center that integrates dining, rest, and massage services. This one-stop service has become a popular spot for many wealthy businessmen and young masters. It's normal for Duan Yunpeng to choose this place to celebrate his birthday. Feng Zhe also knows that it won't take many years for Meidiya Center's business to be further improved, with added services such as food delivery, laundry service, wake-up calls, concierge service, business center, travel agency, safe deposit boxes for valuables, beauty salon, shoe shining service, parking spaces, car rental services, foreign currency exchange, and ATM machines. However, due to various reasons, they were unable to develop into one of the most influential leisure hotels in the capital, until many years later, it became one of the venues for major national news releases.

  On the way to Media from Zhao's quadrangle courtyard, Feng Sizi stopped Duan Yunpeng and went alone to the second floor of Dengxilu Men's Wear Store, bought a high-end shirt and tie, let the service staff pack it well and bring it down. Back in the car, he handed it directly to Duan Yunpeng. "Happy birthday, came in a hurry, no preparation at all. I know that Dengxilu tie is liked by many successful people in the UK."

  "Hey, why be so polite?" Upon hearing that Feng Si Zhe had originally gone to buy a gift for himself, he smiled on the surface but was even more delighted in his heart. Of course, he trusted Feng Si Zhe's taste, or else he wouldn't have thought of befriending him.

  The car started again, and after a short while, it stopped at the entrance of the Mediya Center. Then, some special personnel came to park the car properly, and Feng Sicheng followed Duan Yunpeng into the center.

  Xiang Yunpeng had already booked a private room here and his friends he invited were also waiting here.

  Feng Sicheng followed Duan Yunpeng into a tastefully decorated private room, and the first thing that caught his eye were three young men.

  "Haha, you're all here." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Duan Yunpeng chuckled and stepped aside to make way for Feng Siche, "They're all my family members and best friends. Come on, Feng Siche, let me introduce you." As he spoke, he kept an eye on Feng Siche's attitude, unsure of how he would react to his friends.

  What kind of person is Ke Fengzhe, with decades of experience on his body, what he thinks in his heart, can it be seen from his eyes? A face with a calm expression made Duan Yunpeng look at him for a while and feel disappointed.

  "Ah, this is my cousin Duan Yunyue, who has just been transferred to the Capital Military District Command as a staff officer. This is my best friend Zu Jie, who is now working in the Central Organization Department as a section chief. And this one, you've met before, and it's not unfamiliar, my brother Duan Yuntao, who is currently serving as deputy director of the Public Security Bureau's Third Division for Social Order Management." In one breath, Duan Yunpeng introduced everyone in the room to Feng Zhe.

  After saying that, Duan Yunpeng turned around and introduced the person next to him, Feng Zhe, to everyone, "Come on, this is my friend Feng Siche. He's the one who wrote that article about the development of the national securities industry a while back. Now he's studying in the Central Party School's Youth Class. Let me tell you, he's really something. Previously, he spent 11 years in the UK and holds dual master's degrees in finance, economics, and business management." When mentioning Feng Siche, Duan Yunpeng deliberately added a few more sentences, as if not saying these things wouldn't be enough to show just how special Feng Siche was.
