Charming Street?

Ren Feng's eyes lit up instantly, could it be that kind of place?

It's said that in ancient times, below the brothels, girls would stand by the roadside holding handkerchiefs, playfully saying, "Mister, come have some fun."

Back then, because there were many brothels on a street, it was called the Land of Smoke and Willow.

In its modern evolution, girls in bodycon skirts and red lipstick stand flirtatiously by the roadside, gently asking, "Hey handsome, want a date? Four hundred for once, eight hundred for the night."

Yeah, it must be like that, otherwise, why would it be called Charming Street?

Thinking this, I got all excited. Should I call one girl over or two? This idea is really good.

"Charming Street deserves a visit!"

Ren Feng couldn't help but shout loudly, and suddenly, all the company girls nearby turned their heads, looking at Ren Feng in shock.

"Feng, what's up with you?"

"Feng, why is your smile so lewd?"

"Feng, are you thinking something bad?"

A group of girls looked at Ren Feng with peculiar expressions.

Ren Feng rarely felt so embarrassed and randomly made up an excuse: "I was just excited to go shopping with you beautiful ladies."

"Feng, you sure know how to talk!"

The girls laughed, cheerful and lively.

Ren Feng breathed a sigh of relief, glad to have brushed it off.

As everyone set off, it wasn't long before they arrived at a street.

This street had all sorts of shops and artisans, a famous place gathering island snacks and handmade products.

Ahead, a street performer was breathing fire, while on the other side an artisan carved wooden statues that were so lifelike, many children were jumping with joy.

What the heck, so it's not the Charming Street I had imagined.

Ren Feng felt a little disappointed, but the girls immediately cheered, pairing up and running ahead.

"Feng, come with us too." One girl grabbed Ren Feng's shoulder before leaving.

So, Ren Feng was dragged along, wandering this Charming Street with the girls.

Charming Street was a main street, but it had several finer branches, and Ren Feng noticed the crowds bustling on these streets, very lively.

"Wow, this is delicious!" one girl exclaimed, stopping in front of a sugar painting stall.

It was a traditional snack where the artisan used cooked sugar syrup to paint various animal shapes, both beautiful and tasty.

The girls cheered, "Boss, I'd like a dragon."

"Boss, I'd like a crab."

"Boss, I want a person," the first girl said.

The other girls paused; the artisan chuckled, "Sure, who do you want?"

"I want him!" The girl pointed at Ren Feng.

"Alright, no problem, I'll make it for you right away," the artisan said, glancing at Ren Feng with a grin.

And the other girls immediately looked at that girl.

"Wow, Yiyi, you can't be serious, you actually want a figurine of Feng."

"Girl, have you really fallen for Feng?"

"Yiyi, I didn't expect you'd have such desires, is it mating season?"

The girls teased Yiyi, surprisingly, Yiyi didn't retort like before; instead, she blushed and shyly glanced at Ren Feng.

This made the girls exclaim in astonishment.

"Wow, Yiyi, you're making a move first?"

"Feng, you're lucky; Yiyi is a flower in our company."

Ren Feng touched his nose, smiling wryly, when did he become this charming?

Although Yiyi was quite pretty, she still couldn't compare to Xia Wenxue and Liou Rumei. Besides, Ren Feng didn't have those feelings for her.

Just as Ren Feng was about to respond, suddenly, there were sounds of a quarrel ahead, loud enough to be heard clearly.

"That's Xiaoni's voice," one girl instantly recognized, "Why is she arguing with someone?"

"Let's go see!" Ren Feng said.

With these girls in tow, Ren Feng squeezed through the crowd towards the source of the sound.

Arriving near that sound, I happened to see a group of my company's girls arguing with a man.

Xia Wenxue also rushed over, her brow furrowing slightly at the sight.

"What's going on? Xiaoni."

"Mr. Xia, he says we broke his jade pendant and is demanding a million from us." Xiaoni said, aggrieved and furious.

Xia Wenxue looked at the jade pendant in the balding middle-aged man's hand and said to him, "Can you let me see the pendant?"

The man's face was full of ferocity, "I tell you, this jade pendant is a family heirloom; this woman broke it just now. If you don't pay, you're not leaving today!"

Onlookers gathered around, watching the scene, and started discussing.

"Is that jade pendant valuable?"

"Oh, definitely not valuable; it's a scam just to rip off tourists."

"I know him, he's a notorious fraudster here; almost every day tourists fall for his tricks. His name is Wu and he has very nasty methods." A local whispered.

"So brazen? Just get the police!" someone exclaimed nearby.

"It's useless, I tell you, behind Wu is the Squid Gang. Even the police wouldn't dare mess with them. Last time some officers came, but just went through the motions without even entering the station."

"Can't be!" The onlookers were very surprised.

"You'll see, these women will obediently pay up," the man shook his head, unwilling to say more.

At the scene, Xia Wenxue looked at the jade pendant; indeed, it was cracked in half.

"Xiaoni, what exactly happened?" Xia Wenxue asked Xiaoni.

"Mr. Xia, he said he had a jade pendant for sale. We took a look, said no, returned it, and he didn't hold it properly, dropping it himself." Xiaoni's words were full of grievance.

"You, woman, always lying!" Wu pointed at Xiaoni, "Clearly, you broke my jade pendant, a family heirloom no less. You're blaming me after ruining it; I tell you, if you don't compensate today, you're not leaving!"

Wu, filled with anger, addressed everyone around, "All you passersby, come see, this woman is wicked at heart. Pretty in appearance, but truly malicious."

"You!" Xiaoni was furious, her chest heaving with emotion, Wu stretched his neck, "What? Am I wrong?"

Xia Wenxue beside her frowned constantly. Honestly, she found it hard to judge and handle this situation, knowing Xiaoni wouldn't lie. But the issue was the jade pendant was indeed broken.

Wu continued shouting to the surrounding onlookers, "Come see, this person broke my family heirloom and won't pay! I've never seen such shamelessness!"

At this moment, Ren Feng walked over, a smile on his face, "Indeed, I've never seen anyone so shameless."

Xiaoni was taken aback, feeling wronged. Why was Feng saying that about her?

She wanted to explain, but Xia Wenxue pulled her aside. She knew Ren Feng's style wasn't as she imagined.

"Ah, it's rare to find a reasonable young fellow. Young man, come, come, judge her actions," Wu happily pulled Ren Feng over.

Ren Feng looked puzzled, "Why are you pulling me? I'm saying the shameless one is you."

Wu suddenly froze, seemingly still not recovered from his previous excitement.

Xiaoni was also stunned, looking at Ren Feng with her beautiful eyes, still not reacting.

Ren Feng scanned the crowd loudly, "Come see folks, this man takes a fake jade and scams here, dropping it himself and demanding compensation. Truly without shame; I've never seen anything like it!"

The surrounding tourists were surprised; um, doesn't his words resemble Wu's, but targeted at Wu?

"Haha, I find Feng's style of face-smacking unique," a male colleague from the company laughed.

"Yeah, from my first meeting with him at the company, I felt his way of face-smacking was divine," another male colleague laughed.

"Go, Feng!" The other girls cheered.

Wu's face instantly turned sullen, "Stop slandering people here!"

"Slandering?" Ren Feng coldly chuckled, "It should be you who's slandering. Look at this pendant: it's supposedly blue but has black spots inside, clearly processed only days ago; and the image on the pendant is wrong. It's obviously Daoist Laozi, why does it say Buddhism?"

Ren Feng picked up the piece, held it with its cord, calmly speaking under the crowd's eyes, "Moreover, your biggest flaw is that this pendant wasn't broken by a fall; you cut it cleanly beforehand and glued it together. This way, dropping it ensures it breaks."

Ren Feng slowly combined the two halves. Astonishingly, there was no gap when they fit together.

"My gosh, it's true!"

The surrounding onlookers suddenly realized, many were in awe.

"This person's observations are so meticulous, finding this out!"

"Indeed, I knew Wu was a swindler, but couldn't expose his scam."

The onlookers discussed fervently, Xiaoni also smiled, Xia Wenxue's eyes carried a slight amused glance. She didn't know why exactly, but whenever Ren Feng involved himself, she felt the issue could be resolved.

"Though I don't know how you made this pendant, it's worthless, a fake." Ren Feng tossed the pendant towards Wu, "So I say, you're completely shameless."

"Wow, Feng, you're truly handsome." The girls cheered, Xiaoni also smiled brightly.

Xia Wenxue glanced at Ren Feng with her beautiful eyes, her lips seemed to curve slightly.
