Chapter 75: Xiao Yu Is No Ordinary Person!

Night had fallen. Jiangzhou was considered one of the top cities in the country, second only to first-tier cities like the capital and Donghai. Its nights were undeniably beautiful. Xiao Yu was still driving, but perhaps because Fang Yue was present, she didn't tease Chen Feng as she usually did.

Inside the car, the three of them engaged in simple conversation. Fang Yue seemed somewhat ill at ease and didn't talk much.

Soon after, Chen Feng was brought to the front of a tall building—at least twenty stories high. The sign read "Qingxue Group." Chen Feng couldn't help but marvel inwardly. Xiao Yu had started from nothing and in just a few short years built her company to this scale. She was certainly no ordinary woman.

"Come in," Xiao Yu said, parking the car and leading the two up to the top-floor CEO office.

Xiao Yu's office occupied nearly half the floor. Besides the usual workspace, there was a bedroom reserved for her rest. The entire office was immaculate; all documents were neatly organized. The layout was sophisticated, adorned with jade pieces that lent an air of elegance. It seemed to follow a particular feng shui arrangement. Upon entering, Chen Feng faintly sensed a warmth—not hot or stifling, but a gentle comfort, like sunlight in winter.

"Alright, little brother, here is the contract I've drawn up. Take a look. Of course, if you don't understand anything, you can take it home and consult a professional lawyer to check for loopholes," Xiao Yu said with a serene smile, moving behind her desk and handing Chen Feng the contract.

"Alright," Chen Feng replied, picking up the contract and immediately using his Extraction System to pull all legal knowledge from the most renowned local lawyer.

Even though he had a good relationship with Xiao Yu, that didn't mean Chen Feng could trust her completely. This woman was no ordinary person. Years of experience in the business world had made her as cunning as a fox. If she wanted to cheat him, he might not even notice.

He read through the contract clause by clause, his mind rapidly analyzing for flaws. For half an hour, Chen Feng was completely absorbed.

Xiao Yu looked at Chen Feng closely, realizing that she was increasingly unable to see through him. At first glance, he seemed utterly ordinary, and she hadn't paid him much mind. The second time she saw him, she sensed his strong confidence. On their third meeting yesterday, she discovered he could be ruthless when necessary. And now, for the fourth time, he was seriously scrutinizing the contract.

Xiao Yu had met countless people and could tell Chen Feng wasn't just pretending.

This guy really was peculiar.

Seeing Fang Yue looking a bit bored, Xiao Yu smiled and got up to brew her a pot of tea. Fang Yue felt rather flattered; she thought that despite Xiao Yu's lofty position as CEO, she had none of the airs of someone in power. She was approachable, genuine, and exuded a natural warmth that made people feel comfortable.

Though they hadn't exchanged many words, Fang Yue couldn't help but develop a subtle fondness for Xiao Yu.

"I've finished reading," Chen Feng said, putting down the contract and looking at Xiao Yu. "There are no issues."

Xiao Yu handed Chen Feng a cup of tea, smiling. "What, aren't you going to ask a lawyer to check? There might still be loopholes."

"No need," Chen Feng replied casually. "Sister, if you wanted to trick me, I wouldn't have any way to resist. I can confirm there's nothing wrong with the contract."

He took the cup from Xiao Yu and tasted the tea. A look of surprise flashed across his face as the delicate aroma filled his senses, leaving him with an indescribable comfort.

"This tea is excellent," Chen Feng couldn't help but praise, despite knowing little about tea.

Xiao Yu smiled gently. "If there are no problems, let's sign. There are two copies; we'll each keep one."

Chen Feng nodded. Xiao Yu picked up a pen and quickly signed her name. Chen Feng glanced at her signature, his lips curling into a wry smile. Her handwriting was truly beautiful—lively, yet dignified and subtly sharp.

The style matched her character.

With a sigh, Chen Feng reluctantly signed his own name. When he handed the contract back, Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned, then a smile bloomed on her face. "Chen Feng, your handwriting is really..."

Her teasing remark made Chen Feng blush.

He resolved that next time, he'd find an opportunity to extract someone else's calligraphy skills—otherwise, he'd always be at a disadvantage.

Thinking this, Chen Feng glanced at Xiao Yu again, quietly musing, "Her handwriting is beautiful. Why not extract her calligraphy?"

Immediately, he opened the Extraction System.

"System, extract Xiao Yu!"

Swipe!

Xiao Yu's profile appeared on the system screen, but Chen Feng was shocked.

How could this be?

Character: Xiao Yu (Xiao Qingxue)

Age: 28

Extractable Abilities: ????

Notice: System level insufficient. Unable to display.

"Damn, it can't be shown?"

Chen Feng was astonished. Extracting An Ran had already stunned him, but Xiao Yu left him even more shaken. The system couldn't extract her abilities; its level wasn't high enough?

Was this a joke?

Chen Feng took a deep breath. This was far beyond his understanding. He had thought nothing in the world was beyond the system's reach, but at this moment, he felt a strange sensation.

So, there really were things in this world the system couldn't handle?

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu asked, puzzled. In that brief instant, she sensed Chen Feng's shift in mood.

"Nothing," Chen Feng quickly shook his head. "I'm just amazed. Sister, you're incredible—building such a business in just a few years. It's unbelievable!"

Xiao Yu smiled lightly. "It's nothing, just luck."

"Sister Xiao Yu, you don't only run hotel chains, do you?" Fang Yue suddenly asked.

"Oh?" Xiao Yu's elegant brows arched slightly, and she smiled. "You're right, hotels are a recent venture. I started in finance, and that's still my main source of income."

"Finance?" Chen Feng looked at her in surprise. "That's not an easy industry to make money in. If you lose, you could lose everything."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yu shrugged, exuding confidence. "It depends on who's running it. Those who can grasp the right moment never lose."

Fang Yue stared at her, full of admiration. "You're truly remarkable, Sister Xiao Yu!"

"It's nothing," Xiao Yu replied with a smile. "There's nothing remarkable about it. When I started, it didn't feel difficult. I just studied some cases, gathered data, analyzed it, and threw myself in. The more money I made, the more I expanded into real industry."

Fang Yue's eyes widened, staring at Xiao Yu. "Just studied some cases? Are you kidding?"

Chen Feng was incredulous too. This woman dared to play in finance after just studying a few cases—she really was a phenomenon. Then again, if even the system couldn't extract her abilities, nothing about her strength should be surprising.

To build such a business from scratch in a few years, Xiao Yu could never be ordinary.

Xiao Yu smiled again and spoke seriously. "Every market has its own rules. If you grasp them, you can profit. I merely understood some of the financial market's rules, analyzed, studied, and made money."

She took an elegant sip of tea and continued, "This is just a minor path."

Fang Yue was speechless. For someone already so extraordinary, she claimed it was a minor path.

Chen Feng regarded Xiao Yu thoughtfully. A woman who could command the financial market—how wealthy was she? People said Lu Rui was the richest man in Jiang Province, but if Xiao Yu revealed her assets, Lu Rui might pale in comparison.

Xiao Yu. Xiao Qingxue.

Chen Feng silently recited her name, sensing there was an even greater secret behind her—far more than what appeared on the surface. He sighed inwardly. Xiao Yu was truly remarkable.

(Counting the unfinished "Peerless Young Lord," I've written four urban novels, each around two million words. With this one, I'm trying to extend its lifespan. Both Xiao Yu and An Ran are foreshadowed characters. I aim to craft an exciting story, not a repetitive face-slapping tale. Please support Feng Shao—the protagonist's abilities are about to get a major upgrade!)
