Morning Encounter - Coffee and Warnings
The next morning, as Zhao Yifen entered the classroom, he immediately spotted Liu Feng and Xu Qingya sitting together. A smirk played on his lips as he approached them, carrying four cups of coffee.
Without hesitation, he placed one in front of Xu Qingya.
Yifen: "Try this. It's good."
Xu Qingya looked at him in surprise before nodding. "Thanks."
Next, he handed another cup to Lin Xixi, who was sitting nearby.
Yifen: "You too."
Lin Xixi raised an eyebrow but accepted the coffee.
Finally, Yifen turned to Liu Feng. The slight annoyance on Liu Feng's face was evident. Smiling calmly, Yifen placed a cup in front of him.
Yifen: "This coffee is good. You should try it."
Liu Feng hesitated but took a sip.
Leaning in slightly, Yifen spoke in a low voice-just enough for Liu Feng to hear.
Yifen: "Careful where you sit. Some seats come with a price."
Liu Feng's grip on the cup tightened slightly. But before he could respond, Yifen had already turned away, casually taking a seat elsewhere.
Taking a sip of his own coffee-

Yifen hummed in satisfaction, tapping his fingers against the cup.
Yifen: "Hm... this coffee tastes good."
The classroom atmosphere remained unchanged, but the tension in Liu Feng's expression did not go unnoticed.

At the Stadium Entrance - Denied Entry
That evening, Yifen, Xu Qingya, and Lin Xixi arrived at the bustling stadium.
Yifen: "Wow, finally we're here."
As they made their way to the entrance, Liu Feng appeared with a group of friends. His expression soured upon seeing Yifen.
Liu Feng: "Why is he here?"
Xu Qingya frowned. "I told you I was bringing Yifen. Didn't you mention there was an extra ticket?"
Liu Feng smirked. "No need anymore. My friend took it."
Xu Qingya narrowed her eyes. "So you just made me bring him here for nothing?"
Before she could argue further, Yifen calmly spoke up.
Yifen: "It's okay. You guys go ahead; I'll join you later."
Discreetly, he took out his phone and snapped a photo of Liu Feng and his friends.

The Power Move - Stadium Acquisition
As soon as Liu Feng and his friends entered, Yifen opened his ByBusiness app.
He navigated to the stadium's profile. Ranked 21st in the country, the stadium was listed for sale at ¥2.917 billion Ayuan.
Without hesitation, he made the purchase.
Xu Qingya, noticing his focused expression, asked, "What are you doing?"
Yifen replied nonchalantly, "Oh, nothing. Just bought the stadium."
Lin Xixi chuckled. "Buying the stadium? Seriously? You should stop joking."
Yifen smirked, sending the photo of Liu Feng and his friends to the stadium's previous owner. "Remove these people and ban them from the premises."
A moment later, a well-dressed elderly man approached with a warm smile.
"Mr. Zhao, it's an honor to meet you."
Yifen nodded. "You flatter me."
"Please, follow me."
As they stepped inside, Liu Feng and his friends were being escorted out, their protests obvious.
Xu Qingya looked around, confused. "Where are they? They went ahead of us."
Lin Xixi checked her watch. "The game started two minutes ago. Let's find our seats."
The former owner turned to Yifen. "Mr. Zhao, may I suggest the VVIP seats?"
Yifen turned to his companions. "What do you think?"
Xu Qingya smiled. "We're fine here."
As they took their seats, Xu Qingya finally asked, "Why did he call you Mr. Zhao?"
Yifen smirked. "Because my first name is Zhao."
Lin Xixi asked, "Who was he? Do you know each other?"
Yifen responded casually, "He was the previous owner of the stadium."
Lin Xixi gave him a skeptical look. "Wait... Are you serious? You said 'previous owner.' Don't tell me..."
Yifen nodded. "Yeah. I own this stadium now."
Lin Xixi blinked. "..."
Xu Qingya studied him for a moment before simply smiling and turning back to the game.

Unexpected Gains - Hearts Overflowing
As the game progressed, Yifen casually glanced around the stadium. The system's detection revealed something odd.
Most of the audience had red-colored bars above their heads-but without any text.
"That means... they're beyond Level 10?"
Checking the system for updates, he was stunned.
[System Notification]
+2,347 Hearts Received!
A satisfied smirk spread across his face.
"Oh? The coffee shop is really beneficial."

Meeting Tang Yuxi
On the field, Tang Yuxi, a rising star in both acting and music, was effortlessly dominating the game. Her agility and precision were drawing cheers from the audience.
Xu Qingya leaned forward excitedly. "I'm a huge fan of Tang Yuxi! When can I meet her?"
Yifen smirked. "You want to meet her?"
Xu Qingya nodded eagerly. "Yes! Her recent drama was a hit, and she's an amazing singer. She's becoming a top-tier celebrity!"
Yifen stretched lazily. "Well, since I own this stadium now, I can take you to meet her."
Xu Qingya's eyes lit up. "Really? Thanks!"
