That's just the way he is. If you speak nicely to him, everything is negotiable, and he will empathize with your difficulties. For instance, that beautiful hot spring attendant—she was almost reduced to tears by Xiao Gu's fierce scolding, and Qin Fang could have simply stayed out of it, waiting to receive the key card for the hot spring suite.

But in reality, he stopped Xiao Gu and made him apologize to the attendant, then stepped aside…

However, if you act arrogantly and recklessly, Qin Fang won't be polite either. He's got that kind of stubborn temper. Even when dealing with privileged young masters like Li Rui, Qiao Zhenfei, and Zhang Yuliang, he says what needs to be said. If you push him too far, he won't hesitate to throw a punch at you.

Zhang Yuliang of Southern Yue knows this all too well, as he has been on the receiving end of a beating from Qin Fang. Although they have since buried the hatchet, it's clear that both Qin Fang and Zhang Yuliang still harbor some grudges…

This isn't directly related to the current situation; it's just to show that Qin Fang has quite a temper too, and he's not intimidated by how impressive you might be.

Li Rui controls Ninghai's underworld with countless followers at his command, and Bihai Pavilion is his stronghold, yet Qin Fang charged in all by himself, didn't he?

The same applies to this Feng Nan. Just from the way he speaks and that smug look on Brother Junhao's face beside him, Qin Fang could tell he had already offended Ninghai's richest and most petty young master.

Since that was already the case, why should Qin Fang be afraid of him?

Others might need to rely on Haijiang Group to make a living, but Qin Fang couldn't care less about that… Old Feng may be wealthy, worth billions, but Qin Fang isn't doing poorly either. In just a few months, his net worth has reached the hundreds of millions. With his current capabilities, making more money isn't too difficult.

If he doesn't need to look to Old Feng for cues on how to act, then why should Qin Fang fear Feng Nan?

Naturally, Qin Fang's tone grew heavier, hitting Feng Nan's sore spot.

Feng Nan is very thin-skinned. Before Old Feng struck it rich, Feng Nan was still a boy, living in his hometown. Old Feng was busy starting his business and had no time to look after him. His mother had passed away early, so he was like an orphan, raised by his two sisters.

The more a child is like this, the less discipline they receive. Even though Feng Nan grew up to live a life of luxury, what he despised the most was when people said he lacked upbringing.

This pettiness of his was cultivated over time. Despite his arrogant demeanor, it's really just a cover for an inner lack of confidence.

As expected, as soon as Qin Fang spoke, Feng Nan's originally proud expression soured, although Qin Fang hadn't been too direct, the implication was quite clear.

Brother Junhao was secretly pleased. Though Feng Nan was sticking up for him, if Qin Fang backed down without a fight, Feng Nan wouldn't have much to say, and Junhao wouldn't get his revenge.

Now that Qin Fang was almost directly confronting Feng Nan, naturally, Junhao was the happiest. He wished for nothing more than to see Qin Fang and Feng Nan clash.

He had witnessed such scenes a few times and had never seen anyone who could outdo Feng Nan…

Of course, people like the Tang, Li, and Ning families knew Feng Nan, and he wouldn't foolishly offend them, mainly because even the wealthy Feng Family couldn't afford to do so.

The Tang Family is a lineage of government officials, with Secretary Tang being the chief of Ninghai and soon to become the second-in-command of Jiangnan Province. His considerable authority is evident. Not to mention, Tang Cheng is a military man, a special forces soldier. Only if Feng Nan was kicked in the head by a donkey would he dare to trouble him.

The same goes for Li Rui. While the Li Family's influence in the government may be declining, Li Rui holds sway over most of Ninghai's underground forces. With just one word from him, who knows how many thugs would flood the streets and target the industries controlled by Feng Nan's Haijiang Group, causing terrible losses.

As for Ning Weiqiang, there's even less need to say. The old man oversees the province's political and legal affairs, and no business tycoon would dare to mess with these uniformed people. Not to mention, Tang Cheng and Ning Weiqiang are famously close. Offending one means offending both, which is all the more unwise.

These prestigious young masters were not the kind Feng Nan could afford to mess with, so naturally, he stayed well clear of them. Even if he couldn't avoid meeting them, at most it would be a nodding acquaintance. Feng Nan would not deliberately suck up to these people—it was too demeaning.

Apart from these few, Feng Nan really didn't take any second- or third-tier young masters seriously. Brother Junhao thought the same; he was eager for Feng Nan to give this Qin Fang a good lesson.

"Politeness? That depends on the person. Do you think... you're worthy?"

Feng Nan, Young Master Feng, was irritated. In Ninghai, let alone the entire Jiangnan Province, there were very few who dared to disrespect him like this, and Qin Fang was certainly not included. Naturally, his tone became even more assertive. Speaking with his nostrils flaring, spittle was almost spraying onto Qin Fang's face.

"You..."

Xiao Tang just couldn't stand by and watch any longer. Even though they couldn't afford to provoke Young Master Feng, it didn't mean they had to take his crap, especially since they had actively invited Qin Fang over. Now facing this situation, they would be involved both emotionally and morally. Continuing to remain silent was clearly not an option.

"Xiao Tang, this is none of your business, go stand over there..."

But Qin Fang just lightly pulled him aside, sending Xiao Tang and the other two out of the fray. His words were inhospitable, but they weren't fools—they knew Qin Fang didn't want them stirring up this mess. That realization brought an indescribable sense of gratitude, but it was soon replaced by anxiety.

"Whether I'm worthy isn't for you to decide. Who do you think you are? Go back home and suck milk..."

Qin Fang had come from the countryside, where they say the people of Jiangzhou are the best at cursing. All sorts of petty insults fly around, one after another. But the People of Ninghai really set the gold standard when they started hurling abuse, especially some of the feisty women who could curse continuously for hours without repeating themselves.

Countrywomen were even more straightforward, coarser, not at all like city folk concerned with their image. They cursed however they pleased.

Qin Fang had grown up in such an environment. Though strictly raised by his mother to not spew profanities left and right, he had learned the art of insulting from what he had heard and seen.

"Go back home and suck milk..."

This statement was truly vicious. Virtually everyone was stunned by it. Xiao Tang and others were slightly better—they were startled at first, but then they started to snicker. But the faces of Young Master Feng and his entourage turned an ashen hue.

Brother Junhao's face looked as if it had been splashed with green paint, almost as hideous as Young Master Feng's.

Qin Fang was implying that Feng Nan was just a kid who hadn't stopped suckling. And what did that make his cronies? Nannies? Or perhaps maids, servants?

Of course, Feng Nan had the ugliest look of all.

He had always gotten everything he wanted in Ninghai—wind when he wanted wind, rain when he wanted rain. With money burning a hole in his pocket, a horde of people kissed up to him, flattering him, making him feel quite high and mighty.

Yet to be insulted like this by someone he didn't even deem significant, standing there, he suddenly felt like he had no place to put his face.

"You wonder what kind of onion I am? Good... good... very good..."

Feng Nan was very petty; just one or two carelessly spoken words could offend him. Let alone someone as bluntly confrontational as Qin Fang slapping him in the face—those few simple words were uttered through clenched teeth, as if he wanted to devour Qin Fang whole...
