Outside the Zhao family courtyard, Feng Sizhe saw Duan Yunpeng, who was leaning against a black Crown car, holding a cigarette in his hand with smoke coming from the tip of the cigarette. He was wearing a black suit.

"Oh, you finally come out. How about you? You haven't forgotten me yet, right?" As soon as Duan Yunpeng saw Feng Sizhe coming out, a smile appeared on his face.

"What's wrong with you today? Why are you dressed so formally?" Feng Sizhe did not directly answer Duan Yunpeng's question, but changed the direction of the question.

After hearing what Feng Sizhe said, Duan Yunpeng first lowered his head to look at his clothes, then he laughed and said, "Isn't it because I want to see you? I bought this outfit thinking of pleasing you. Oh, don't mention it, I feel awkward wearing such formal clothes."

Duan Yunpeng is not a fake person. At least he showed a very innocent side in front of Feng Sizhe. He did not take advantage of the fact that he is a member of the Duan family. This is very admirable.

"There's no need to dress up specially just to see me. Well, you must have something to talk to me about, right?" Seeing that Duan Yunpeng had changed his clothes specially for him, Feng Sizhe thought that he must have something to say, otherwise he would not have come to the Siheyuan.

"Hehe, you really guessed it right. It's like this. Today is my birthday, and I want to invite you to celebrate with me. What do you think? You won't say you don't have time, right?" Duan Yunpeng seemed to be afraid that Feng Sizhe would reject him, and he was not very confident when he said these words.

"Oh? It's your birthday, haha, then I have to congratulate you first. Okay, wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and come out." Feng Sizhe looked at Duan Yunpeng and didn't know whether it was true or not, but no matter what, he found a reason that he couldn't refuse to invite him. The birthday is the most important thing, and he can't take advantage of the birthday boy.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you." Upon hearing Feng Sizhe nod in agreement, Duan Yunpeng immediately nodded hurriedly, looking very happy.

When Feng Sizhe saw Duan Yunpeng like this, he also laughed and said, "Do you need to come in and wait?" As he said this, Feng Sizhe made a gesture of invitation.

"Oh, that's not necessary. I'll just go out first. I haven't prepared anything today, so I won't go to see Grandpa Zhao." Duan Yunpeng waved his hand quickly.

Feng Sizhe thought that since he didn't want to come in, he must have his reasons. Maybe he was only representing himself now, not the Duan family. If he walked into the Zhao family compound rashly, the impact would be huge if it got out. So he simply nodded and walked back into the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, he greeted his grandfather and told him that Duan Jianghe's eldest son Duan Yunpeng was having a birthday today and invited him to go. He might be back later. After seeing his grandfather nod, he returned to his room and changed into an Anima suit. He took out a wad of money from the drawer, thinking that no matter what, he would have to buy something to give as a birthday present. Although this kind of gift-giving was a bit vulgar, it was inevitable. He had seen a lot of surveys on this aspect on later websites. Giving each other small gifts could indeed play a very important role in deepening the relationship between two people.

Feng Sizhe left the courtyard and got into the Crown car driven by Duan Yunpeng. The two of them left the courtyard and drove away.

After getting in the car, Duan Yunpeng smiled and said that the dinner was booked at Media Center, where many of Duan Yunpeng's friends were waiting. He would be responsible for introducing them to Feng Sizhe later.

Feng Zhe was not unfamiliar with the Media Center. It had just opened in Kyoto last month. It was a leisure and entertainment center that integrated catering, rest, and massage. This one-stop service became a place that many wealthy businessmen and dandy young masters boasted about as soon as it was established. It was normal for Duan Yunpeng to choose to celebrate his birthday here. And Feng Zhe also knew that in a few years, the business of the Media Center would be improved one by one, with food delivery service, laundry service, wake-up service, concierge service, business center, travel service, front desk valuables safe, beauty salon, shoe shine service, parking space, parking lot, bus or car rental service, foreign currency exchange, ATM cash machine, etc. But in the end, due to various geographical reasons, they still could not develop into one of the most influential leisure hotels in the capital. Until several years later, it simply became one of the places where major national news was released.

On the way from Zhao's courtyard to Media, Feng Sizhe passed by a shopping mall. He stopped Duan Yunpeng and went down to the second floor Dunhill men's clothing store to buy a very high-end shirt and tie. He asked the service staff to pack it and bring it down. He returned to the car and threw it directly to Duan Yunpeng. "Happy birthday, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. I know Dunhill ties. Many successful people like him when he was in the UK."

"Hey, why are you being so polite?" Hearing that Feng Sizhe was buying a gift for him, he smiled and was even happier. Of course he believed in Feng Sizhe's judgment, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to make friends with him.

The car started again, and soon it stopped in front of the entrance of Media Center. Then a special car attendant came to park the car, and Feng Sizhe followed Duan Yunpeng into the center.

Duan Yunpeng had already contacted a private room here, and his friends were also waiting here.

After Feng Sizhe followed Duan Yunpeng into the elegantly decorated box, what caught his eye were three young men.

"Haha, come here, all of you." Seeing all these people arrived, Duan Yunpeng laughed, then stepped aside to let Feng Sizhe come out, "They are all my family and my best friends. Come, Feng Sizhe, let me introduce them to you." When he said this, he was paying attention to Feng Sizhe's attitude. He didn't know what Feng Sizhe's attitude would be towards these friends of his.

But who is Feng Sizhe? He has decades of experience. How can you tell what he is thinking from his eyes? His indifferent expression made Duan Yunpeng disappointed for a while.

"Ah, this is my cousin Duan Yunyue, who has just been transferred to the Capital Military Region Command as a staff officer. This is my best friend Zu Jie, who is now the section chief in the Central Organization Department. And this one, you have met before, so it can be said that we are strangers to each other. This is my younger brother Duan Yuntao, who is now the deputy section chief of the Public Security Management Section of the Third Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security." Duan Yunpeng introduced the people in the room to Feng Zhe in one breath.

After saying this, Duan Yunpeng turned around and introduced Feng Zhe next to him to everyone, "Come, this is my friend Feng Sizhe, haha, he's the author of the article about the development of the country's securities industry a while ago, now he's studying in the Central Party School's Youth Class. Let me tell you, he's quite amazing, he spent 11 years in the UK, and he has a double master's degree in financial economics and business administration." Speaking of Feng Sizhe, Duan Yunpeng deliberately said a few more words, as if Feng Sizhe's uniqueness would not be revealed without mentioning his background.
