《When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Mr. Luo, your tumor has already spread. We discussed at length and are in consensus that only a craniotomy can save your life!¡± The doctor in the white coat had a cold expression on his face, his voice was as flat as a low-quality robot. It was as if the item in his hand was a lousy menu instead of an X-ray with bad news. Luo Feng, who was sitting opposite the doctor, laughed bitterly. ¡°What is the success rate of a craniotomy?¡± The doctor adjusted his glasses and extended four fingers. ¡°40%?¡± Luo Feng asked. Nearly 50% success rate? Luo Feng was a little happy. This seemingly bad news was the best news he had heard recently. ¡°Four percent.¡± The doctor replied coldly. Luo Feng felt like he had fallen into an ice cave the moment he heard that. What was the difference between four percent and a direct declaration of death! Was there a need for a meeting to discuss this? The doctor didn¡¯t seem to notice Luo Feng¡¯s expression of despair. ¡°You still have slightly less than half a month if we treat it conservatively.¡± Luo Feng could hear the urging in his words. He wouldn¡¯t be of any help to the hospital¡¯s financial gains as someone who was sent here by a caring person. Moreover, to put it bluntly, treating him would be a waste of medical resources given his condition. ¡°I¡¯ll do the surgery. If it doesn¡¯t work out, you guys can take the organs that are still useful.¡± Luo Feng said as he propped himself up with the table and left the treatment room. The tumor in his brain had almost drained all of his strength. His body was like a broken lantern made of paper. The slender bamboo strips would deform and break with just a tiny external force. Luo Feng held onto the anti-fall handrail and slowly walked back to his ward. He lay back on the bed and spat out the air in his lungs in pain. He knew that he should contact his family to see them one last time and eat whatever he wanted according to the protocol, even though the doctor did not remind him just now. Unfortunately, he had no family. His parents had passed away early. Two relatives who wanted to inherit all his money since he had no offspring did come. However, they hid far away as if they were avoiding a plague when they heard that he was sick with nothing left. Xing Miaomiao was the first name listed in his communication record. She was Luo Feng¡¯s ex-girlfriend. The two of them started dating in high school and got into the same university together. They have never separated even after their internship, so they were an enviable couple. Xing Miaomiao was promoted from his girlfriend to his fianc¨¦e when they got engaged one year ago. However, the irony was that Xing Miaomiao had never appeared again ever since Luo Feng discovered the brain tumor. She even canceled the wedding ceremony that was already on the agenda and drew a clear line with Luo Feng. Luo Feng¡¯s classmates were the ones who told him the news. However, it was very difficult for him to question Xing Miaomiao face to face with his weak body. He had to let it go even though he was unwilling. Luo Feng thought about it and realized that there was no one he wanted to see. He stared blankly at a certain stain on the ceiling. The silent room was terrifyingly quiet. The sound of the horn outside the window was like countless sharp arrows, hitting Luo Feng¡¯s ear, the bull¡¯s eye, revolving repeatedly in his brain after piercing through it. ¡°Urgh!¡± Luo Feng covered his mouth and felt his stomach churning. There was nothing in his stomach for him to throw up, only the sour stench rushing into his throat, burning his tongue. Luo Feng hurriedly tried to grab the cup on the bedside table. However, he was unable to reach it. Suddenly, Luo Feng felt the cup hit the back of his hand. He grabbed it and gulped the water in it down. He started coughing again before he could even relax. ¡°Cough cough cough!¡± Luo Feng curled up into a ball in pain. Right at this moment, a hand covered Luo Feng¡¯s back, gently helping him breathe. Luo Feng raised his head in surprise and saw a beautiful woman in an apricot-colored suit standing in front of him. The woman was elegant and magnanimous. She looked like she just walked out of a high-end show when looking at her up close. ¡°Thank you.¡± Luo Feng used his hand to cover his sorry state. The beautiful woman was like the sun in the sky. Anyone would avoid her light and feel ashamed of their inferiority. Luo Feng lowered his head to avoid the beauty¡¯s gaze. He had a feeling that this person would leave very soon. Perhaps she was here visiting a family member and came over to help him out because he was pitiful. To his surprise, the beauty did not leave. She, instead, sat down by his bed. The folds of the suit skirt followed her curves, her long legs elegantly gathered together, and her small leather bag covered the edge of the skirt. Luo Feng felt like the beauty was observing him! ¡°Wow! That person seems to be the youngest female CEO of Goldman Sachs Investment Corporation. I¡¯ve seen her on television!¡± ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful. She looks even better in person than on TV!¡± ¡°God is so unfair. How can someone be so good-looking and capable at the same time!¡± At some point, a few nurses had gathered at the door of the ward. Their whispers answered some of Luo Feng¡¯s doubts. Wasn¡¯t Goldman Sachs the most popular investment company in the news? It had only been listed for four years and had a market value of more than 10 billion yuan. Its scope spanned finance, real estate, tourism, film and television, and many other industries. If Tencent was the paraquat in the industry, then Goldman Sachs would be the industry¡¯s blood transfusion pack. It would do whatever it wanted and prosper. Why would the CEO of such a great company come to such a place? Luo Feng looked at the beauty¡¯s face and found it familiar. The beauty pursed her red lips and said. ¡°Luo Feng, how are you feeling? I heard from the doctor that you¡¯ve decided to undergo surgery?¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°Yes, but who are you?¡± The beauty was stunned for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m Ai Tingya. Don¡¯t you remember?¡± Ai Tingya? This name sounds familiar, but Luo Feng¡¯s limited brain capacity did not allow him to search through his past memories. ¡°High school, boiled eggs. Do you remember now?¡± Ai Tingya smiled and reminded him. It was Luo Feng¡¯s turn to be surprised. When he was in high school, his mother would cook him a boiled egg every day to complete his nutritional intake. He did not like to eat it, so he gave it to a yellow-faced and muscular girl in his class. He did not have a deep impression of this girl. He only remembered that her hair was dry like straw. She was always in her school uniform even though the other girls in his class dressed up. She was dry and thin, like a baguette in a pocket. Her inconspicuous appearance led no one but her teacher to remember her for her excellent results. Luo Feng then looked at the voluptuous beauty in front of him and thought to himself. ¡°Is this because of the nutritions in a boiled egg, or is it because of a second puberty? She has turned into such a beauty!¡± ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Luo Feng asked anxiously. What goes around comes around. He was the one who was like the baguette in a hospital gown. There was nothing sadder than seeing an old classmate with a successful career again while he was lingering on his sick bed. Luo Feng shrank back into himself to avoid giving Ai Tingya his illness thinking about this. Ai Tingya sensed his resistance and stopped leaning closer to him. She pretended to be calm and replied. ¡°Of course I¡¯m here to see you. The period when we were deskmates might have been ordinary to you but it is unforgettable to me!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Unforgettable? Is she going to confess to me? Ai Tingya¡¯s choice of words was very ambiguous so Luo Feng couldn¡¯t help but let his imagination run wild. However, the tumor squeezed out all the unnecessary thoughts from his mind in no time. If the world was a game, then the Heavens would be a completely wicked player who joked around with Luo Feng. So what if his deskmate confessed to him in his current physical condition? He could only wish her well indifferently and continue waiting to be pushed into the operating theater. Ai Ting Ya couldn¡¯t hear Luo Feng¡¯s thoughts as she continued sincerely. ¡°I was very sad to hear that you were sick. I¡¯ve always wanted to see you, but I didn¡¯t know if you wanted to see me¡± Luo Feng¡¯s pale lips curled into a relaxed smile: ¡°Why do you think I don¡¯t want to? With a classmate that is the CEO of Goldman Sachs, I will be able to brag for a long time. Do any other classmates know your identity?¡± Ai Ting Ya immediately smiled when she heard Luo Feng taking the initiative to bring up a relaxing topic. ¡°You¡¯re the only one¡± Luo Feng said proudly, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. I¡¯ll be able to brag the next time I see them.¡± He was still in contact with a few people in high school. After graduating from university, he started a small company with his two best friends which did quite well with their family¡¯s connections. Luo Feng would have become the envy of others if his parents hadn¡¯t died and he hadn¡¯t been plagued by illness. He did not want to drag his best friends down with him after he was diagnosed with a tumor in his brain. He therefore took some money and left, waiting for his life to end on his deathbed. However, there would always be a day when his wealth would be emptied. Luo Feng didn¡¯t have any income and had to pay an expensive treatment fee. He was running out of money in no time. Coincidentally, he met a kind-hearted person in society who helped him pay for his medical expenses every month. Otherwise, he might have died long ago. He was considered lucky to be able to hear the doctor¡¯s treatment plan this morning. Luo Feng faintly felt that things were a little too coincidental after seeing Ai Tingya. He pretended not to know anything. ¡°Then I¡¯m honored. I¡¯ll have to tell Yan Jun about it when he comes. Do you remember Yan Jun? He was the life committee member of our class. He¡¯s put on weight and has to turn his body sideways when he enters through the door.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s lips twitched. She wanted to laugh, but she didn¡¯t. She paused for a moment and interrupted Luo Feng¡¯s laughter in a low voice. ¡°Is that so? Yan Jun has always been very fat. Speaking of which¡­ I heard that you¡¯re engaged to Xing Miaomiao. Why isn¡¯t she here?¡± Ai Tingya would definitely be first if there was a competition to rub someone¡¯s nose in it. The corner of Luo Feng¡¯s mouth that was barely curled up fell off: ¡°We¡¯ve broken up. How can I hold her up now that I¡¯m ill?¡± He was not Auntie Xianglin who would pour out his grievances to anyone he met even though he hated Xing Miaomiao¡¯s heartlessness. Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes were filled with heartache hearing Luo Feng¡¯s answer. She, who was originally sitting like a statue, leaned forward and closed the distance between her and Luo Feng while gently holding his hand. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll always be with you.¡± Her fragrance and the gentle voice were like the endless spring rain. Luo Feng¡¯s dry heart felt a trace of warmth. He smiled and retracted his hand without hesitation. ¡°Thank you. And thank you for paying my medical fees.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s smile gradually became embarrassed. ¡°So you knew. I knew I couldn¡¯t hide it from you.¡± There were many caring people in society, but Luo Feng didn¡¯t think he would be able to meet them so coincidentally. He must have accumulated good karma if the Heavens did not help him. Who would have thought that the boiled egg that he despised in high school could help him exchange for a chance to extend his life? Ai Tingya took a deep breath and continued seeing that Luo Feng didn¡¯t reply. ¡°I¡¯ve been paying attention to you since graduation. I was very anxious when I found out that you didn¡¯t have enough money to stay in the hospital. I originally wanted to transfer you to a better hospital, but I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be willing, so I used this method to help you.¡± She was mentally prepared before she came. She was worried that she would agitate Luo Feng when she heard about his condition from the doctor. Ai Tingya knew that it would be too late if she did not tell him the things she wanted to tell him! She gathered her courage and held Luo Feng¡¯s hand again, speaking seriously. ¡°Don¡¯t reject me, alright? I know you¡¯ve experienced a lot of pain, but there¡¯s still someone in this world who loves you wholeheartedly, so you have to live well even if it¡¯s for me!¡± Ai Tingya could clearly hear her heart beating as she spoke, exactly like how it fluttered everytime she took the boiled egg in the past. Perhaps Luo Feng didn¡¯t know that back then. Ai Tingya, who was an orphan, felt inferior and timid. She felt like a snail and wished she could hide in her shell forever. She had nothing for her other than studying. Luo Feng¡¯s boiled egg was like a savior to her. She strengthened her belief in moving forward every time she ate one¡­ Until she made a name for herself and became the CEO. Her identity and mentality had changed. The only thing that remained unchanged was her longing for Luo Feng. In the past, it was inconvenient for her to appear due to Luo Feng¡¯s girlfriend, so she appeared too late. Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng with a heart full of hope, hoping that he wouldn¡¯t pull his hand back and reject her. ¡°Thank you, Ai Tingya.¡± This was the third time Luo Feng thanked Ai Tingya today. He didn¡¯t move his hand. Luo Feng looked back at Ai Tingya¡¯s gentle gaze and thought. ¡°She really likes me? But I¡¯m about to die so I can¡¯t respond to her feelings¡­ But if doing this makes her happy, then so be it¡± Luo Feng¡¯s first reaction wasn¡¯t happiness, but regret, regret that he made the wrong choice¡­ Ai Tingya smiled, seeing that Luo Feng didn¡¯t reject her. From then on, Ai Tingya would visit Luo Feng in the ward whenever she was free. There was still a week before the official surgery. Ai Tingya used her connections to invite the best doctor to Luo Feng¡¯s hospital and bought the most advanced equipment at a high price at the doctor¡¯s request. The work outside was in full swing, as if everything was developing in a good direction. Only Luo Feng knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to last until the day of surgery. He lay on the bed and heard Ai Tingya discussing the details of the surgery with the doctor in the corridor. His consciousness gradually faded. Luo Feng knew that time was up. The sounds from the outside world seemed to have been blown away by the wind. Suddenly! An ethereal voice sounded in his mind. ¡°What would you wish for if you could live your life again?¡± ¡°I hope I have a pair of discerning eyes and make the right choice!¡± Luo Feng blurted out. The questioner was like a God, who came and left as fast as the wind. Luo Feng¡¯s heavy eyelids were torn open by the light. He followed the light and was swallowed by it. Luo Feng sucked in a breath of cold air when he opened his eyes again. His leg knocked against the table and kicked the student in front of him. A young face turned around and complained. ¡°Luo Feng, do you want to die? F*cking hell!¡± Luo Feng hugged his numb knees. His sensitive sense of smell picked up the smell of ink, paper, chalk dust, and spicy sticks in the air¡­ The familiar smell enveloped him like a flood. Luo Feng realized that he was sitting in the classroom with a young girl beside him! Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Luo Feng, do you want to die!?¡± Cursed the student in front of him. Luo Feng was still in shock. He hugged his knees and stared at the boy in the front row with his eyes wide open. This person¡¯s appearance was too unique. The top of his head was like a cruel competitive circle, and every strand of hair had its own territory. They didn¡¯t disturb each other, and when they gathered together, it was the most fashionable afro style in that era. Luo Feng always relied on this person¡¯s hair to sneak a nap when he was in school. ¡°Lei Jin, you¡¯re not bald yet?¡± Luo Feng was overjoyed. This lush head would turn into ¡°adult-mode¡± in a few years¡¯ time after all. Lei Jin, the afro boy, rolled his eyes at Luo Feng and said angrily, ¡°Have you gone silly from sleeping? What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Luo Feng wanted to reply, but he heard an impatient roar from the podium. ¡°Why are the students at the back arguing? I can hear your voices from the podium! Why don¡¯t you come up and talk?¡± The form teacher, Yu Pingrong, waved her pointer, the bamboo stick, which made a whooshing sound in the air. She was short, but her voice was loud. She was very strict with her students usually. The students went silent with the deterrence of the pointer. Lei Jin rolled his eyes at Luo Feng and turned around. Just as everyone thought that class was about to continue, Teacher Yu added. ¡°Lei Jin, why haven¡¯t you cut your hair? Get your mother here tomorrow!¡± The audience immediately burst into suppressed laughter. Lei Jin buried his head and cursed Luo Feng 10,000 times in his heart. Luo Feng laughed as well. He raised his head and looked around at the familiar environment. The dark green curtains, the familiar blue school uniform, and the crew cuts and ponytails were both novel and nostalgic. Luo Feng¡¯s aching knee kept reminding him that everything was real! He was reborn! He was reborn in his high school days! His deskmate did not laugh along with the rest of the class. She was staring at the blackboard with a pen in her hand. Ai Tingya was in a very difficult situation when she was a student. Her washed-out school uniform was an inheritance from her previous senior. Her head was curled up at the back of her neck in a daze. She had always shrank into herself due to her inferiority complex. Her entire body was screaming the word ¡®unremarkable¡¯. It was really unimaginable that she would be an elite in the business world in the future. What was even more unbelievable to Luo Feng was that the person who would accompany him to the end of his life would be Ai Tingya. He could only blame himself for having poor judgment when he was young and mistook the scumbag girl for a treasure. He had to seize this opportunity after being reborn! He supported his chin with his hand and sized up Ai Tingya brazenly. Right at this moment, Luo Feng felt his vision blur. He raised his hand to rub his eyes and realized that there was a floating golden symbol above Ai Tingya¡¯s head. He then turned towards the other students. There was actually a string of percentage numbers above their heads. From one to dozens, they looked like random numbers. Luo Feng looked at these numbers in confusion, not understanding what they meant. Was it referring to luck or lifespan? When he looked at Ai Tingya again, there was no number above her head, but an endless symbol! If the numbers represent lifespan, would it mean that Ai Tingya would live until the end of time? Luo Feng shook his head and rejected this idea. He recalled the last moments of his previous life. He was asked what he would wish for if he could live another life. Luo Feng said he wanted a pair of discerning eyes, therefore this string of numbers he saw must have some special meaning, so he had to slowly explore it. ¡°Why do you keep looking at me?¡± Ai Tingya asked timidly just at that moment. She tilted her head slightly, not daring to look directly at Luo Feng. She took a quick glance before retracting her gaze like a little rabbit. Her entire body felt uncomfortable sensing his gaze. It was as if there were burrs on her butt, as if she could shake off Luo Feng¡¯s gaze just by moving. She looked very pitiful when she cowered. Luo Feng noticed the pen in her hand. He remembered that he had accidentally kicked the cap of this pen away. The reason why it left such a deep impression on him was because he saw Ai Tingya squatting in the aisle and searching for it below the seats after school. Ai Tingya was born in an orphanage. She had no parents, so she felt that even buying a pen was a burden to the orphanage. Luo Feng, who had a happy family, might not be able to understand the feeling of grieving overnight for a pen cap. More importantly, Luo Feng felt that Ai Tingya was making a mountain out of a molehill, so he didn¡¯t think much of it and went home at that point in time. Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached thinking of this. He took out a new pen from the drawer and pushed it to Ai Tingya: ¡°Sorry I lost your pen cap, this is for you.¡± Ai Tingya looked at him in surprise and then at the pen on the table. She only said. ¡°Pay attention to the class.¡± Then, she buried her head in her notebook. Luo Feng knew that she wasn¡¯t a greedy person. Ai Tingya wouldn¡¯t accept a pen for a pen cap, so he simply took Ai Tingya¡¯s pen and threw the new pen to her. ¡°The ink of your pen looks like it can run more smoothly, let¡¯s exchange pens.¡± He said forcefully. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t dare to snatch it back since she was in class. She stole a glance at Luo Feng, pursed her lips, and unscrewed the cap of her pen. She continued to pretend that she didn¡¯t care and take notes, but her tightly pursed lips betrayed the nervousness in her heart. How could Luo Feng not understand Ai Tingya¡¯s personality after being deskmates for two years? She would definitely change them back after class given her strong self-esteem. Luo Feng wanted to be nice to her, but he was afraid of scaring her. He rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea. ¡°Ai Tingya, the semester exams are nearly here. Can you tutor me?¡± Luo Feng leaned nearer to Ai Tingya and whispered to her. Ai Tingya subconsciously dodged. She covered her ears that were hot from the whisper and repeated. ¡°Focus on the class!¡± What a model student. Luo Feng sighed in his heart. He might be the first guy to be so close to Ai Tingya. Her face was as red as the red clouds in the sky, but she could still force herself to focus on the blackboard. No wonder her future was promising. This might be the difference between a top student and a bad student. Actually, Luo Feng himself wasn¡¯t a bad student. His grades were above average even though they weren¡¯t top notch. His form teacher¡¯s evaluation of him was: ¡°Smart, but he doesn¡¯t put in the effort.¡± Moreover, he was considered a mischievous type who could easily lead other students astray because he was unrestrained and loved freedom. Hence, he took the last few rows with a group of bad students and became neighbors with the trash can. Ai Tingya was in the last few rows because she requested it. She felt that she would feel the gaze of others if she sat in the front row, so she sat at the back. Luo Feng knew that he couldn¡¯t strike up a conversation during class, so he could only wait for the bell to ring. Luo Feng made up his mind. He must be responsible for Ai Tingya and not let her suffer anymore because of how she cared for him in his previous life, as well as her deep-rooted feelings for him! Moreover, even though he didn¡¯t know what the string of mysterious numbers visible to him represented for the time being, they definitely had some special guidance. Luo Feng would definitely seize this opportunity! He would pull Ai Tingya along to the peak of her life! Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Hey, hey, hey, Luo Feng, why did you keep pestering Ai Tingya during class? I heard everything!¡± Lei Jin turned around and teased Luo Feng and Ai Tingya with a perverted smile as soon as the bell rang. Ai Ting Ya couldn¡¯t listen to these words. She hugged her notebook and chased after the teacher, not giving Luo Feng a chance to speak. Luo Feng glared at Lei Jin and said. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault for disturbing my plans!¡± Lei Jin came over and winked. ¡°What¡¯s so fun about it? Tell your bro and I¡¯ll treat you to grilled sausages.¡± It was dinner time. Most students, other than Ai Tingya running to the office, either ran to the cafeteria or went to the school gate. Luo Feng wasn¡¯t in a hurry since he still had two self-study sessions after dinner. He accepted Lei Jin¡¯s invitation and the two of them headed to the school gate. ¡°Why did you suddenly think of asking Ai Tingya to tutor you? Didn¡¯t you say that you were taking Xing Miaomiao to the amusement park this weekend?¡± Lei Jin continued to question Luo Feng, as curious as a cat that smelled fish at night while they were eating. It¡¯s said that it¡¯s easy for people with many thoughts to lose their hair. Luo Feng finally knew why the back of his head was bald. ¡°Forget it, I can¡¯t afford to offend her.¡± Luo Feng retorted angrily. It was impossible for him to be alone in the hospital without Xing Miaomiao¡¯s ¡®help¡¯ in his previous life. Putting aside the fact that Luo Feng was hurt by her, he knew very well how much money she took from him! Lei Jin was puzzled. ¡°Do you mean Xing Miaomiao or Ai Tingya when you say ¡®her¡¯?¡± Everyone in the class knew that Luo Feng liked Xing Miaomiao. He bought her food and helped her copy her homework. Xing Miaomiao didn¡¯t say anything explicitly, but she didn¡¯t reject him and smiled sweetly at his every gesture. In Lei Jin¡¯s impression, Luo Feng definitely wouldn¡¯t describe Xing Miaomiao that way. As for Ai Tingya¡­ Everyone in class knows that she¡¯s invisible. Almost no one pays attention to her other than her name on the results board. How could Luo Feng say that she can¡¯t be offended? Luo Feng saw that he was randomly analyzing again and changed the topic. ¡°Go get your haircut during the holidays, maybe you can still keep the roots.¡± Lei Jin shook his head coolly at the mention of his hairstyle and said. ¡°Why are you as old-fashioned as Teacher Yu? Didn¡¯t you say that my hairstyle is invincible just two days ago? It cost more than 200 yuan!¡± Luo Feng felt his heart ache for him upon hearing the price he paid. ¡°Listen to others¡¯ advice to eat your fill. You¡¯re always messing with your hair, worrying that they¡¯ll leave you.¡± Luo Feng joked. The two of them chatted as they walked. They arrived at the fried rice stall unknowingly. There was a temporary food street at the entrance of the school once it was lunchtime. All the nearby snack stalls with good taste gathered here and occupied an entire pedestrian street. Luo Feng always felt like he was on inspection every time he passed by this place. The skewers were sizzling with oil, the stir-fried dishes were smoky, and the cold dishes with red oil were eye-catching. All the snacks on the stalls were in their best condition, waiting for the students to inspect them. Luo Feng walked in front of the fried rice stall and stretched out two fingers: ¡°Boss, one serving of shredded green pepper fried rice with two eggs! Scramble them a little more!¡± Lei Jin laughed. ¡°So nourishing today?¡± Luo Feng glanced at him and said, ¡°Hurry up and buy me grilled sausages. Also, buy me a cup of tea to drink, the kind of tea that can relieve oiliness.¡± The fried rice at the school gate was the most outstanding store in the ¡°temporary food street.¡± The boss would also add all kinds of fresh vegetables in addition to the designated meat dishes. He was also very willing to add oil. Every grain of fried rice was shiny with oil. Luo Feng bought some snacks, taking advantage of the time used to fry the rice. Lei Jin was shocked when he brought the fried rice to Lei Jin, who was queuing up to buy tea. ¡°You¡¯re going to give them to Xing Miaomiao again? Are you really going to marry her?¡± Luo Feng smiled and didn¡¯t say anything, only urging him to speed up. After buying dinner, the two of them did not settle it by the roadside but went straight back. Teacher Yu did not allow them to bring the outside snacks back to the classroom because the smell was too strong and would affect others. However, it was fine to finish them before the evening self-study as long as they did not find it troublesome. There were already people who had returned from dinner when Luo Feng and Lei Jin entered the classroom. Ai Tingya had also returned. She was sitting in her seat and eating a head of vegetables with a bag of pickled vegetables in front of her. Luo Feng carried his food and walked towards her excitedly. Before long, a black shadow appeared in front of him and blocked his path. Luo Feng took a closer look. It was Xing Miaomiao! Her long black hair was loose, and she had light makeup on her exquisite smiling face. Her cherry lips were soft and moist and her black grape-like eyes looked up from below with such delicate admiration. Luo Feng had to admit that Xing Miaomiao was very beautiful even though he hated her. All the girls in the class were just a backdrop with her around. The Ai Tingya at this stage couldn¡¯t compare to her either. However, Ai Tingya¡¯s foundation was much better than hers. It was just that it was easy to ignore her since she hid it. ¡°Luo Feng, you brought me so much food again. You¡¯re the best!¡± Xing Miaomiao habitually thought that Luo Feng brought her food. Luo Feng had indeed done that in the past. He practically bought all of Xing Miaomiao¡¯s dinner. He still bought her delicious food even if he didn¡¯t have enough living expenses. His actions back then were quite bootlicking. The female voices surrounding Xing Miaomiao joined in the commotion. ¡°Miaomiao is so lucky. Luo Feng treats you so well!¡± ¡°The things he bought today are so sumptuous. There¡¯s also Miaomiao¡¯s favorite drink.¡± ¡°When are you going to treat us to the wedding candy?¡± The sound of laughter attracted the attention of the other students, who immediately joined in the teasing. Xing Miaomiao stood in the center of everyone¡¯s sight like a female lead, her face flushed with happiness. In her eyes, Luo Feng was indeed a good match. His family background wasn¡¯t bad, and he was very generous to her. It made her feel very proud especially since he never hid his love for her. Xing Miaomiao extended her hand and said, ¡°Our classmates really like to joke around. Thank you, Luo Feng.¡± Luo Feng turned sideways and avoided Xing Miaomiao¡¯s hand that was stretched out for the food. ¡°Xing Miaomiao, don¡¯t you still need to lose weight? You¡¯re wasting food by eating and trying to lose weight.¡± He said coldly. After saying that, he walked around Xing Miaomiao and placed everything beside Ai Tingya. ¡°I bought a bit too much, help me eat some, it won¡¯t be good if the food is wasted.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said to Ai Ting Ya. Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t sit still. She was so shocked that she didn¡¯t know what to say. She stared at Luo Feng with an ¡°Are you okay?¡± expression. The other students were shocked. It was enough to film a few episodes of the TV series based on Luo Feng¡¯s attitude towards Xing Miaomiao just now. They were whispering to each other, wondering if Xing Miaomiao and Luo Feng had fallen out. Xing Miaomiao felt extremely embarrassed as the center of attention. Her face turned from red to white and finally green as if she had eaten a green-headed fly. ¡°Tsk, who wants it!¡± She growled. She ran out of the classroom angrily with that. Luo Feng didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid. He continued to persuade Ai Tingya like a human trafficker. ¡°The steamed bun won¡¯t last until tomorrow morning. Help me eat some, or else it¡¯ll be a waste, don¡¯t you think?¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Hurry up and eat.¡± Luo Feng urged one last time before opening the lunch box and pushing it in front of Ai Tingya. The ingredients for the fried rice were visibly rich. It might be called fried rice but it was more like some rice added to the stir-fried vegetables. The smell of the food was encased in the fragrance of the oil and all of which slammed onto Ai Tingya¡¯s face. The steamed buns and pickled vegetables instantly became tasteless. Ai Tingya gulped. She wasn¡¯t in a hurry to eat. Instead, she sat up straight and stared at Luo Feng. Luo Feng had been acting weird since he woke up from his nap. He¡¯s been staring at her, changing pens and bringing her food. No one, other than the Director of the orphanage, had ever treated her so well. The sudden kindness made Ai Tingya avoid him instinctively. She would rather not accept it because she had nothing to repay him. ¡°Luo Feng, what are you doing?¡± Ai Tingya pretended to be angry, ¡°I have dinner, I don¡¯t need yours.¡± She took a bite from the steamed bun to show her determination. Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya quietly. He knew that Ai Tingya was trying to protect her fragile self-esteem. He had to find all sorts of reasons to get her to help him eat his boiled egg in his previous life. It would be useless no matter what he said. Luo Feng simply snatched Ai Tingya¡¯s steamed bun and took a bite beside the place where she bit. ¡°I¡¯ll eat yours, and you¡¯ll eat mine. This should be fair, right?¡± The surrounding students shushed him and teased. ¡°Oh! An indirect kiss!¡± Ai Tingya lost her composure and her face turned red with embarrassment. She leaned forward in a bid to snatch back it, but noticed that her classmates were looking at her. She retracted and maintained her straight back, saying angrily. ¡°You have it. I have other things!¡± It would have been better if she hadn¡¯t mentioned it. The moment she did, Luo Feng noticed the pickled vegetables that came with it. He grabbed the pickled vegetables and poured them into the fried rice, not forgetting to praise Ai Tingya. ¡°You¡¯re really thoughtful. The fried rice is indeed a bit oily. It¡¯s better to eat it with some refreshing pickled vegetables¡± ¡°You!¡± Ai Tingya was furious. She could eat that amount of pickled vegetables for a few days! Half of it was poured out at once. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry! I have something to ask of you. You ignored me in class, so I had no choice but to do this.¡± Luo Feng quickly explained. Ai Tingya was still feeling sorry for the pickled vegetables. She pouted when she heard that he had a request and said. ¡°What do you want from me?¡± Luo Feng chuckled: ¡°Didn¡¯t I already say that I want you to tutor me for the semester exams?¡± Ai Tingya rolled her eyes at him as if she was looking at a fool. Half a semester has just passed, there are topics that we have yet to cover. Who would study for the semester exams now? She thought to herself. ¡°I mean it! Think about it, we have six subjects. It¡¯s better to plan ahead since I definitely can¡¯t make up for it during the end of the semester.¡± Luo Feng added. Actually, his grades were above average. He only needed to put in a little effort to improve. In his previous life, he quickly improved his grades in the last half of the semester in order to chase after his love. He managed to get into the same university as Xing Miaomiao. However, Ai Tingya had strong self-esteem, so he had to smooth things over. Ai Tingya agreed with what Luo Feng said. She couldn¡¯t just stand by and do nothing since Luo Feng wanted to improve himself. ¡°O-Okay, I can tutor you, but don¡¯t buy me these next time.¡± She agreed with some reluctance. ¡°Let¡¯s leave it for the next time.¡± laughed Luo Feng. He would say anything as long as Ai Tingya was willing to eat. Luo Feng unscrewed the cap of the bottle and stuffed the drink into Ai Tingya¡¯s hand taking advantage of the momentum. ¡°It¡¯s a bit dry, moisturize your throat.¡± Ai Tingya was full of doubts. She took a bite with uncertainty. The food smacked her lips and she looked like she liked it very much. At this moment, Luo Feng¡¯s phone in his bag buzzed. He picked it up and realized that it was a message from the bank. There was suddenly 200 yuan extra in his account! Luo Feng was stunned for a moment because this bank card was activated half a year ago. At that time, his parents were out of town for long periods of time, so the bank card was mainly used to receive living expenses. No one else knew about it other than his parents. His parents were both at home recently so this card was almost out of Luo Feng¡¯s memory. Luo Feng didn¡¯t understand what was going on. ¡°Right, when do you want to start the tuition?¡± Ai Tingya interrupted Luo Feng¡¯s thoughts. Luo Feng said, ¡°Saturday, the day after tomorrow, are you free?¡± Ai Tingya nodded and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Ai Tingya had to free up her time even if she wasn¡¯t. This meal made her feel uneasy so she decided to return the money. ¡°How much was the meal?¡± Luo Feng was thinking about something and casually replied: ¡°20 yuan, why?¡± Ai Tingya shook her head and lowered her head. She felt that the food in her stomach had become heavier. Luo Feng assumed that they had an appointment for tuition. The 200 yuan in his card was strange and coincidental. Could it be that someone sent it to him wrongly? Or did his father transfer his private savings to him? Someone would ask him for it anyway. Luo Feng put this matter aside after thinking this through. The evening self-study session passed quickly. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were both day students. Luo Feng was thinking of sending Ai Tingya back when he was packing his bag. His home was near the school, and it would only take him a few minutes to get there by bicycle. Ai Tingya¡¯s orphanage was in the suburbs, so it would take her half an hour to walk there. However, Ai Tingya had already disappeared when he looked up. Luo Feng sighed and left the classroom with his bag. Lei Jin took this opportunity to pester Luo Feng again. He was very interested in Luo Feng¡¯s relationship situation, it was practically written all over his face. ¡°Kid, you must have something on! Why are you suddenly ignoring Xing Miaomiao? You brought her half a semester worth of food. It was not easy for her to have a good impression of you!¡± Lei Jin persuaded earnestly, feeling a little regretful about that budding relationship. Luo Feng said impolitely, ¡°In terms of looks alone, Ai Tingya might not be worse than Xing Miaomiao, and looks doesn¡¯t mean anything. Capability is the most important thing!¡± He had to quickly hug Ai Tingya¡¯s thigh and establish the foundation of ¡°Don¡¯t forget each other when you¡¯re rich!¡± To make it sound more professional, Ai Tingya was his first investment after his rebirth! Lei Jin was enlightened when he heard that. ¡°So you¡¯re preparing to leave the back rows. Damn it, you beat me to it. Bring me along.¡± Luo Feng waved his hand and left Lei Jin where he was, ¡°I believe in your potential to be a third wheel, so I can¡¯t. However, if you really want to learn, I¡¯ll be responsible for teaching you. That¡¯s all, bye bye.¡± Lei Jin had been to the hospital before, after all. He had helped him when he was in his most difficult situation. He could help this brother who had been in the same class as him. Not only with his studies, but also with his hair. Lei Jin cursed at Luo Feng¡¯s back and left angrily on his bicycle when he heard that Luo Feng clearly valued his lover over his friend. Luo Feng heard his mother calling him from the room just as he put down the key upon returning home: ¡°Little Feng, you¡¯re back? There¡¯s a cake on the table, I left it for you for supper¡± Luo Feng felt a lump in his throat hearing the voice that he hadn¡¯t heard in a long time. He endured the change in tone: ¡°I understand, rest early.¡± ¡°You too. Don¡¯t sneak around reading novels.¡± His mother said and the room lights went out. Luo Feng quietly returned to his room. The familiar environment made him feel extremely relaxed. Everything was exactly the same as he remembered. He pulled open the desk drawer, took out the miscellaneous items inside and found the bank card with money at the bottom most level. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios No one remembered Luo Feng¡¯s bank card until his parents passed away. Therefore, no one knew that there was money inside. Luo Feng had no way of finding an answer for the extra 200 yuan that came out of nowhere. He could only wait for time to give him an answer. Luo Feng had a premonition that this card would be of great use to him in the future. He found all the cards of similar sizes in the room, including the abandoned bus card, the hospital advertisement card issued by the roadside, and the extra access card. He then sandwiched the bank card inside and tied it up with a rubber band before putting it in the drawer. This way, his mum would not dig this card out even if she were to tidy his room. After doing all this, Luo Feng lay on his bed and fell asleep. The next morning, he woke up early and took the breakfast that his mother had prepared for him. Among them was a boiled egg that was a constant in his life. In the past, he didn¡¯t like the bland taste of boiled eggs. He despised the yolk choking his throat. Now, it was different. These boiled eggs would become his paving stones. Luo Feng was in a great mood, humming a tune as he walked into the classroom. Ai Tingya was the only one in the classroom in the morning. She was sitting in her seat and studying her textbook. As usual, Luo Feng stuffed the boiled egg into Ai Tingya¡¯s hands and said. ¡°This is for today.¡± Ai Tingya pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence. The fried rice from the previous day seemed to still be stuck in her stomach. Ai Tingya originally wanted to return the money to Luo Feng, but she was still a bit short. 20 yuan wasn¡¯t a lot, but it would take a long time for her to save up. Luo Feng didn¡¯t know what was wrong with her since she did not speak at all. He didn¡¯t interact much with Ai Tingya in his previous life. Ai Tingya was gentle and talkative in Luo Feng¡¯s last days, so why did she look like she was eating a gourd now? ¡°I¡¯ll send you home after school today. I¡¯ll show you where I live.¡± Luo Feng tried to find something to talk about. Ai Tingya agreed, trying her best not to overthink it. ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Feng relaxed, since it seemed like they could communicate normally. ¡­ Luo Feng was packing his bag after school. Lei Jin stood up and pressed down on his bag. ¡°No school tomorrow. Let¡¯s go to the arcade today? I heard there were a few new machines.¡± ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng rejected decisively. ¡°I have something on, you can go by yourself.¡± After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Ai Tingya. She had already packed up and was waiting. Her bright eyes coincidentally met Luo Feng¡¯s. Lei Jin felt like he was glowing brightly as he stood there. His first reaction was. ¡°Luo Feng, you were serious?¡± Luo Feng rolled his eyes at him: ¡°What do you mean ¡®serious¡¯, is it weird to have tuition?¡± After saying that, he left the classroom with Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t have a bicycle, so she sat in Luo Feng¡¯s back seat. ¡°I ride pretty fast so it¡¯s safer for you to hold onto me.¡± Luo Feng told her. Ai Tingya was a little embarrassed but she didn¡¯t reject him. She obediently wrapped her arms around Luo Feng¡¯s waist from behind. She buried her head to the side, hiding her flushed cheeks. She closed her eyes and felt the bicycle gradually speed up. The voices of her classmates¡¯ gossiping had already been thrown to the back of her mind before she could listen to them carefully. Luo Feng returned to his residential area after a while. The surrounding uncles and aunties with nothing to do, saw him with a girl and started gossiping. ¡°Hey¡ª Who¡¯s that, the child of the Luo family?¡± ¡°Yes, he¡¯s from the Luo family. Yoyoyo, who¡¯s that sitting behind him?¡± ¡°Young people nowadays are really bold. I did not even dare to hold my wife¡¯s hand when we were dating.¡± ¡°I brought my wife back on a bicycle.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this too early? He¡¯s not even fully grown yet and he¡¯s already getting a girlfriend.¡± The uncles and aunties didn¡¯t mind their volume. All the key words fell into Ai Tingya¡¯s ears. She was so embarrassed that she didn¡¯t dare raise her head, and the strength in her arms kept increasing. She wrapped her arms around Luo Feng¡¯s waist like a koala bear. Luo Feng could clearly feel the temperature in his lower back rising. ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± He pretended to smile calmly and parked the bicycle under a window sill. ¡°The uncles and aunties here have nothing better to do other than to comment on things that don¡¯t concern them, don¡¯t mind them.¡± Luo Feng explained. Even though he said that, Luo Feng was secretly thanking the uncles and aunties for stating the obvious. He was worried that he was in too much of a hurry to get closer to Ai Tingya these past two days, which might cause her to dislike him, so he took this opportunity to test her. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Ai Tingya pulled her messy hair behind her ear and tried her best to hide her flushed face. She is shy. Luo Feng relaxed. This was his first investment, so he had to pay attention to whether Ai Tingya treated him the same as before. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Luo Feng invited. ¡°My house is on the first floor, let me help you carry your bag.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s voice was as soft as a kitten¡¯s. She felt as if she had been electrocuted when Luo Feng¡¯s hand touched her fingertips. Her legs felt as if they were stepping on clouds, as if she was floating in a dream. She was just on her way here to see the tuition venue, but why did she feel so nervous, as though she was about to meet his parents as his girlfriend? A few steps more and she would be in Luo Feng¡¯s house! In Ai Tingya¡¯s opinion, this place made her more nervous than the solemn Buddhist hall. ¡°Erm, Luo Feng, I¡¯ll head back first now that I know where your home is.¡± Ai Tingya said timidly. ¡°Hm?¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and have a seat since we¡¯re already here. My parents are very nice.¡± Ai Tingya looked around in panic at the mention of his parents, looking for an impeccable excuse to escape through the cracks in the bricks. Suddenly! Ai Tingya saw a middle-aged woman standing on the windowsill on the first floor. The woman¡¯s face was filled with shock. Her fingers that were holding onto the melon seeds were suspended in the air as she stared at him. What was worse was that the woman¡¯s eyes and eyebrows were similar to Luo Feng¡¯s. ¡°Mom? Why are you standing here?¡± Luo Feng came over and happened to see his mother munching on melon seeds and listening to gossip. Who knew that the gossip was of her own household? Mother Luo only came back to her senses when Luo Feng called out to her. She then walked into the house, shouting as she walked: ¡°Old Luo, your son has brought someone home!¡± The voice-activated lights on the third floor lit up. Luo Feng was in the third year of high school. This was still explicitly forbidden no matter how loose Father and Mother Luo¡¯s educational philosophy was! Ai Tingya turned around and left. ¡°Your mother misunderstood. I¡­ I¡¯d better go back first!¡± Luo Feng stopped her. ¡°It would be alright if we just explained the misunderstanding, are you going to leave me in the lurch?¡± Ai Tingya wouldn¡¯t dare to come back if Luo Feng forcefully pulled her into the house. So, he had to show his weakness! Ai Tingya felt that the soft spot in her heart had been accurately poked. It would indeed seem like she was guilty if she ran away just like that. They could just explain the truth. She quickly changed her mind. ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll leave after explaining.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s plan succeeded. He smiled and led the way. ¡°That¡¯s right, this is nothing.¡± There was no need for him to take out his keys. The door was ajar since Mother Luo had already unlocked it. The two of them pushed open the door and entered. Father and Mother Luo sat on both sides of the dining table like guards. They sized up the two people standing at the door with serious expressions. Words of advice were already lingering on the tip of their tongues. ¡°Luo Feng! Get over here!¡± Mother Luo raged. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Luo Feng, get over here!¡± Mother Luo raged. Luo Feng¡¯s parents sat on either side of him. They looked like the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother interrogating a small deity. Luo Feng¡¯s memory was awakened. His mother called him by his full name, which meant that he was in deep trouble. ¡°Dad, mom, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng forced a smile. Mother Luo did not say anything. She glared at him fiercely and turned to Ai Tingya. The girl in front of him shrank into herself. Her hair covered most of her face, and her big, bright eyes darted around in fear. In the end, she lowered her head, making it impossible to see her appearance. All that coupled with her obviously old school uniform. Mother Luo started to worry about her son¡¯s aesthetic taste after being worried that he would fall in love at a young age. Did he do something out of line that required him to bring this ugly duckling-like girl back home? Mother Luo¡¯s mind exploded like a volcano. She grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s ear angrily and walked into the room, leaving Father Luo to ¡°guard¡± Ai Tingya. BANG! The bedroom door was slammed shut. Luo Mu threw Luo Feng¡¯s ear away, lowering her voice. ¡°D-Did you do something you shouldn¡¯t have?¡± ¡°Ouch¡­¡± Luo Feng rubbed his reddened ears. ¡°What is something that I shouldn¡¯t have?¡± Mother Luo was furious. Her hands seemed to be rubbing spiral pills as she kept gesturing on her stomach, unable to say anything. Luo Feng twisted his face and looked at her for a while before saying. ¡°You¡¯re really thinking too much. She¡¯s the top student in our class and came to tutor me out of kindness. Not only did you not thank her, you even scared her.¡± Luo Feng bypassed Mother Luo and ran out before she could straighten her thoughts. In the living room, Ai Tingya stood at the door with her hands knitted together, looking at Father Luo awkwardly. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow.¡± She said, seeing Luo Feng walk out of the room, as if she had found her savior. That meant she was going to reject the idea! Luo Feng raised his hand and was about to stop her when he felt a shadow flash past him. Mother Luo held Ai Tingya¡¯s arm intimately and pulled her into the house with a smile. ¡°Why are you leaving so soon? I still don¡¯t know your name. It¡¯s rare for you to come here, so you must have dinner with us.¡± Mother Luo said eagerly. Luo Feng was relying on her to tutor him. As a mother, of course she had to make up for the bad first impression. Ai Tingya was forcibly pulled back like a kitten. Mother Luo had already entered the kitchen, raised the kitchen knife and cut the pork ribs on the chopping board in half before she could refuse. She busied herself by preparing dinner. Father Luo and his wife had a tacit understanding for many years. Even though he did not know what had happened, he restrained his image as a strict father and picked up the newspaper to cover his face. ¡°Have dinner here, I¡¯ll send you back after it.¡± Luo Feng said apologetically. The fragrance of rice from the kitchen continuously blended into the air in the living room. Mother Luo¡¯s magical hand speed silently urged Ai Tingya to stay. It was too late to refuse. Ai Tingya stayed in Luo Feng¡¯s house for no apparent reason. A sumptuous meal was already on the table before long. Mother Luo kept placing food into her bowl with utmost enthusiasm. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Auntie, my name is Ai Tingya¡­¡± ¡°What a nice name. Little Feng didn¡¯t even tell me that he wanted to bring a classmate home. It¡¯s just a simple meal. Don¡¯t mind it. Hurry up and eat!¡± Ai Tingya bit her chopsticks and looked at the braised prawns, pork trotters in sauce, stir-fried eel, and a large pot of tomato brisket soup on the table. The orphanage only had such dishes during the new year, and they were always limited in quantity. ¡°Thank you, Auntie. You eat too.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s sensitive self-esteem forced her to carry on. She would rather that she was having these dishes in a restaurant because that way, she could pack them up and bring them back to the orphanage. ¡°Student Ai, what do your parents do?¡± Mother Luo took the opportunity to inquire about the family situation of the ¡°tutor.¡± Luo Feng, who was peeling prawns, stopped when he heard this. He thought to himself, ¡°Mom, you really touched a sore spot.¡± He looked at Ai Tingya worriedly and saw a sad smile on her lips. She replied frankly. ¡°I don¡¯t have parents. I grew up in an orphanage.¡± Mother Luo put down her chopsticks and looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s old but clean school uniform and proper table manners. Her heart suddenly ached. Initially, she only thought that Ai Tingya was a tutor and only wanted to please her. After learning about Ai Tingya¡¯s background, she liked her even more. She picked up the food even more diligently and kept doing the same rotation. ¡°Come, Tingya, eat more. Don¡¯t stand on the ceremony. From now on, Auntie¡¯s home is your home. Eat some prawns.¡± Mother Luo wanted to change Ai Tingya¡¯s bowl to a bigger bowl when it couldn¡¯t hold anymore food. Luo Feng said. ¡°My mom¡¯s prawns are the best. You must eat more.¡± He picked up one and did not expect Mother Luo to knock it away with her chopsticks. ¡°Your prawn shells are almost covering the dining table. Why are you still eating? You don¡¯t even improve even if you just eat them. Why don¡¯t you learn from Tingya?¡± Excuse me? Whose mother are you? Luo Feng watched in shock as Mother Luo snatched the prawn and placed it in Ai Tingya¡¯s shaky bowl. She didn¡¯t care if her son was full or not. Father Luo looked at his son with pity and picked up a piece of celery from the stir-fried eel for him. ¡°You¡¯re already so tall. Eat some celery to nourish your brain.¡± He said calmly. What do you mean? I¡¯m tall without a brain? Has this harmonious family always been so fragile? Luo Feng obediently put the celery into his mouth and didn¡¯t dare to reply. He knew that his parents would join forces to preach and start to dig up old scores from elementary school if he said one more word. However, his silence did not make Mother Luo let him go. Mother Luo let go of the grudge in her heart, feeling regret for not meeting Ai Tingya earlier. ¡°What else do you like to do besides studying?¡± ¡°Your skin is so fair, it¡¯s so good to be fair naturally, unlike Xiao Feng, who was born as black as coal.¡± Mother Luo ate as she chatted, flipping through Luo Feng¡¯s dark history. It was as though she couldn¡¯t find any topics to talk about during her first meeting with her prospective daughter-in-law, so she jeered at her son like crazy. She only stopped when Luo Feng¡¯s injured world was completed. When Luo Feng witnessed this scene, he suddenly felt that this wasn¡¯t too bad. His mother accepted Ai Tingya, and Ai Tingya was more willing to come to his house, so many things became more convenient! Even though their current relationship was purely monetary, Luo Feng felt that he couldn¡¯t just leave her alone when he thought about how Ai Tingya was hiding special feelings for him. After dinner. Mother Luo held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand happily. ¡°Tingya, you must come often. Auntie feels that we get along very well. Xiao Feng is usually unwilling to talk to us.¡± The more she spoke, the more ridiculous it became. Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya and quickly left: ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Mother Luo took advantage of Ai Tingya¡¯s distraction to pull Luo Feng back just as they were about to leave and whispered. ¡°Mom is very satisfied with Tingya, mom supports you!¡± A woman¡¯s heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Who were the ones who were as fierce as the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning when they first entered? ¡°Mom, we¡¯re really just purely classmates.¡± Luo Feng said helplessly. Mama Luo narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her thoughts, ¡°do you think I believe you?¡±, clearly written across her face. Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ai Tingya blushed and nodded. This was the first time she had been treated so warmly by an elder. She had a good impression of Mother Luo. ¡°Thank you, Auntie.¡± She obediently stood at the staircase and waited for Luo Feng to ride his bicycle. Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from the house. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll send Ai Tingya back first.¡± The ten-minute meal lasted for an hour because of Mother Luo¡¯s enthusiasm. Time flew and it was already eight o¡¯clock. The orphanage had a curfew for the sake of the children¡¯s safety. Ai Tingya had to be back before nine o¡¯clock so Mother Luo couldn¡¯t keep her even if she wanted to. ¡°Be careful on the road. Tingya, remember to come often!¡± Mother Luo was a little reluctant. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t like that child, seeing the way you acted when you opened the door.¡± Father Luo said calmly. Mother Luo retorted loudly. ¡°That¡¯s because I had a misunderstanding when they first arrived. Besides, I was just scaring my son. I didn¡¯t expect to scare Tingya. Fortunately, she¡¯s not angry. Otherwise, I¡¯ll regret it for the rest of my life!¡± Regret it for the rest of her life? This adjective was too exaggerated for Ai Tingya. The Director of the orphanage was a good person but there were so many children after all. He could not take care of them personally so Ai Tingya had always been very sensible. She would try her best not to cause any trouble. She was always alone when other people her age were enjoying the love of their parents. Now, there was actually someone who cared about whether or not she would be angry. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart was warm, as if she was bathing in the sun. Then she heard Father Luo continue. ¡°You were too enthusiastic just now. What if Xiao Ai doesn¡¯t come next time?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t control myself. I really like this child!¡± Mother Luo roared. ¡°Xiao Feng is the same. He only asked me to prepare delicious food, but he didn¡¯t say that he was bringing his classmate home. He made me misunderstand that they are having puppy love.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s okay if it¡¯s Tingya.¡± Mother Luo¡¯s last sentence fell into Ai Tingya¡¯s ears, making her ears burn. She left the door anxiously. At this time, Luo Feng was waiting at the entrance of the corridor on his bicycle. He heard what Mother Luo shouted and pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. A sumptuous dinner every Friday was family tradition. It was as immovable as mid-autumn mooncakes. That was what he had requested when he was a child. He felt that Friday was a holiday and should be celebrated with a big meal. His lunch and dinner were either in the cafeteria or by the roadside ever since he went to high school. Mother Luo was worried that Luo Feng didn¡¯t have enough nutrition, so she prepared Friday¡¯s dinner even more diligently. She actually used it as a reason to bait Ai Tingya today. He would know whether or not she had feelings for him once his mother made her move! Ai Tingya¡¯s heart was racing as she secretly looked up at Luo Feng. This person used to laugh at her for being a bookworm. He was entangled with Xing Miaomiao in school. Why would he suddenly prepare dinner for her? Could it be that he also¡­ The more Ai Tingya thought about it, the more shy she became. She lowered her head and sat on the back of the bicycle, taking the initiative to hug Luo Feng¡¯s waist. ¡°Sit tight!¡± Luo Feng shouted, stepping on the pedals and sprinting out. Ai Tingya was not as squeamish as before with the physical contact. The effect was very obvious! All of a sudden, Luo Feng felt his waist bag becoming heavier, as if a box had been stuffed into it. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t move at all, as obedient as a canary. The thing in his bag didn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with her. Luo Feng didn¡¯t mind it and asked Ai Tingya. ¡°Will there be any problems with tomorrow¡¯s tuition?¡± ¡°I have no choice but to help after eating your food.¡± Ai Tingya said casually. ¡°My tuition is very strict. You¡¯d better revise when you go back tonight.¡± ¡°Of course, there¡¯s no problem. Teacher, I hope you won¡¯t be frightened by my potential.¡± Luo Feng was full of confidence. He was someone who went through the college entrance exam once, so he should be able to remember once he read through it when he¡¯s at home. The two of them chatted and laughed, getting along a lot more naturally. However, Ai Tingya didn¡¯t want Luo Feng to be seen by her other friends in the orphanage, so she asked him to stop a street away and didn¡¯t want him to pick her up. Ai Tingya ran away after agreeing on a time to meet the next day. Luo Feng slowly walked back. Halfway through, he remembered the thing in his bag so he stopped at the curb and took out the box from it. Speedy Memory Potion! These words were printed on the palm-sized medicine box. Luo Feng opened the medicine box and poured out its contents impatiently. A small red capsule fell into his palm. He had spent 20 yuan on Ai Tingya previously, so he had an extra 200 yuan in his idle card. A magical capsule popped out of his bag just when he got closer to Ai Tingya! This is my cheat! Luo Feng didn¡¯t suspect anything and immediately swallowed the capsule. In an instant, waves seemed to be rolling in his mind. The knowledge he had once learned quickly surged out, and the forgotten key points were marked again. His rapidly working mind urgently needed a place to vent its energy. Luo Feng quickly returned home on his bicycle and rushed back to his bedroom under his parents¡¯ puzzled gazes. He took out a dusty paper from the bottom of the bookcase and started writing furiously! Mother Luo looked at Luo Feng¡¯s hardworking back as she sniffled and said emotionally: ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen him take the initiative to learn after so many years. Birds of a feather flock together. I have to thank Tingya.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Father Luo was relieved too. The couple¡¯s performance wasn¡¯t in vain. Luo Feng¡¯s transformation was instantaneous. They happily closed the door, not daring to disturb Luo Feng. Luo Feng¡¯s brain heated up, his hands couldn¡¯t stop working. His brain was like a speed machine with the questions on the paper becoming incomparably simple. The root number and equations were all downgraded to questions as easy as 1+1. The completed papers fluttered around the room. He was like a heartless homework robot. He would feel uncomfortable if he did not finish the entire paper. Luo Feng wrote through the night before his excited brain slowly stopped. Unknowingly, he fell asleep on his desk. ¡°Little Feng! Little Feng, wake up! Look who¡¯s here!¡± Mother Luo¡¯s voice was so excited that it went off-key. Luo Feng rubbed his eyes in a daze and looked at the clock on the table. ¡°It¡¯s eight thirty already?¡± Luo Feng suddenly sat up straight. It was almost time for his appointment with Ai Tingya! He stood up and rolled the messy papers on the table into a ball but saw Ai Tingya standing at the door of the room, looking at him in shock. Ai Tingya saw the red marks on Luo Feng¡¯s face and then looked at the exam papers that were spread all over the floor. Papers with answers fluttered all over the table and bed. She didn¡¯t expect Luo Feng to be so obedient and even revised for the entire night! Ai Tingya¡¯s impression of Luo Feng instantly changed. Mother Luo was even happier. Luo Feng¡¯s ability to study without regard for his own life made her feel that it was all thanks to Ai Tingya. ¡°You don¡¯t have to work so hard even though Tingya is coming. Hurry up and sit down. Auntie will wash some fruits for you.¡± Mother Luo smiled until her eyes couldn¡¯t be seen and closed the door. Ai Tingya picked up the test paper by her feet and looked at it. Her beautiful eyebrows could not help but frown. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ai Tingya stared at the test paper in her hand, her pupils trembling in disbelief. She then looked at Luo Feng and back at the test paper again. This surprised look made Luo Feng feel like she wasn¡¯t looking at a test paper, but at his X-rays showing an Ultraman in it. Why would she look like she saw a ghost otherwise? ¡°What did you see?¡± Luo Feng scratched his messy hair. Ai Tingya shook the test paper and asked. ¡°Did you write all these? They¡¯re all correct!¡± The papers were all ¡°private work¡± that Luo Feng had hidden away. He used all sorts of reasons to make the papers ¡°disappear¡± when he didn¡¯t want to work on them in his first and second year of high school. Ai Tingya remembered very clearly that Luo Feng always had one or two papers mysteriously missing every semester. Then, he would ask to look at hers shamelessly. These exam papers were filled to the brim. Every multiple-choice question had a solution step that covered all the gaps. It was even more detailed than the standard answer. Ai Tingya would have thought that Luo Feng had copied the answer if she hadn¡¯t done it herself. Ai Tingya picked up two more pieces of paper in disbelief, still shocked. Luo Feng¡¯s foundation was extremely solid. It could be seen that he didn¡¯t hesitate at all from the way he solved the questions smoothly. She would even admit defeat. Why would Luo Feng ask her for tuition if he had such an ability? Why? Was he trying to provoke her? ¡°If you wrote all this, then you don¡¯t need me to tutor you at all. Forget it, I¡¯m leaving. I¡¯ll leave the things in your dining room.¡± Ai Tingya said unhappily. Luo Feng had been busy the entire night, so his brain was running a little fast. All he heard was that Ai Tingya brought something. ¡°What is it?¡± Luo Feng asked expectantly. Ai Tingya was still a little angry. She pouted and said. ¡°It¡¯s just some side dishes. Don¡¯t mind it.¡± Luo Feng ran excitedly into the dining room and saw three plastic bags by the table. One of them was filled with green vegetable cores, another had red and green chili in it, and the last was a bag of apples. Each bag was bulging like freshly baked bread. There was still morning dew on the vegetable leaves. Luo Feng looked at the orphanage from afar last night and remembered that there was an apple tree in their courtyard. ¡°There¡¯s a piece of land behind the orphanage. Normally, we¡¯ll plant some side dishes for ourselves. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± Ai Tingya stood behind and explained. She had received so much from Luo Feng but she only had these insignificant things to repay him. Luo Feng seemed to be able to see Ai Tingya squatting in the vegetable field early in the morning, picking out the most tender vegetable cores upon hearing this. His heart ached: ¡°It¡¯s so fresh, you must have picked them for a long time¡± There was not even a worm¡¯s hole on those vegetables, let alone mud. Ai Tingya felt a little better when she saw that her feelings were not despised. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± How could he let her go when the official business had yet to begin? Luo Feng stood up and stopped her: ¡°Don¡¯t, I¡¯ve been preparing for the whole night, just so I don¡¯t drag the progress down, why don¡¯t you teach me some English, I don¡¯t really understand it.¡± He felt that reading short English essays was too troublesome, so he wrote all the math papers last night. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart wavered as she cursed herself silently. She clearly agreed to it, why was she always backing off now! Or was she a little jealous because she saw Luo Feng¡¯s results getting better¡­ But she knew it was wrong to do this. Ai Tingya adjusted her mood and said, ¡°Alright, but you stayed up late. I suggest you eat and sleep for a while before studying.¡± She definitely wouldn¡¯t have said that if she knew that Luo Feng stayed up all night just because of one sentence from her. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Luo Feng raised his head and yawned, ¡°I¡¯m very awake now, I can¡¯t sleep.¡± He took an apple from a bag, wiped it with his hand, and took a bite. ¡°It¡¯s so sweet. Let¡¯s talk in the room.¡± The two of them returned to the room. The atmosphere tensed up the moment they closed the door. There were many boys in the orphanage. It was more appropriate to call their rooms dormitories. Moreover, there were many children, always in groups of three to five. This was the first time she was alone with a boy. ¡°Then let¡¯s start from the beginning. Clean up the papers a little.¡± Ai Tingya pretended to be calm as she sat in front of the desk. Luo Feng randomly picked up a few papers and piled them in a corner. He then found a first-year English book and sat next to Ai Tingya. The study table was only the width of a person. Their shoulders touched and their arms stuck to the other¡¯s. They were close enough to hear each other¡¯s breathing. Luo Feng calmly stared at the textbook and listened to Ai Tingya explain the knowledge points in the textbook word by word. Ai Tingya was a little embarrassed and stuttered at first. However, she gradually forgot about their intimacy as the tutoring went along. She realized that Luo Feng¡¯s English was also very good. He was a little slow at first but he became smoother later on with a little bit of explanation. ¡°Are you lying to me?¡± Ai Tingya asked. ¡°Not only did you write the math paper last night, but you also studied English?¡± In all honesty, Luo Feng didn¡¯t even glance at the English textbooks. However, he had learned these things before. He could not keep up with the progress at first because he had stayed up late. It was just a small matter after he recovered from the fatigue. Luo Feng stopped pretending. ¡°I¡¯m easy to teach, right? Let¡¯s improve together in the future.¡± Ai Tingya smiled and said. ¡°Don¡¯t be arrogant. There¡¯s still a lot to learn for the six subjects spanning over three years!¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s desire to win was instantly ignited. ¡°Let¡¯s compete in memorizing the words for the new lesson. Whoever memorizes more in 30 minutes will win!¡± Luo Feng glanced at the cabinet that contained the bank card and suddenly had another idea. He immediately said, ¡°Alright! Whoever loses has to obey the other party!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± The flames of war had already been ignited. Ai Tingya copied a unit of words and took them under the windowsill to memorize them. She was used to it in the orphanage. She could calm down and study, no matter how noisy it was, as long as there was a small bright place. Luo Feng scanned through it calmly and flipped to the next unit. He really did not want to bully Ai Tingya, but she took the initiative to challenge him. Mother Luo knocked on the door and opened it just as the two of them were working hard to win. She left in relief when she saw their serious backs. ¡°Xiao Feng has never touched a book at home before. I can worry less now that he has Tingya to take care of him.¡± Mother Luo touched her chest and was extremely satisfied with Ai Tingya. Father Luo couldn¡¯t help but complain. ¡°You speak as though you have found a daughter-in-law to take care of Little Feng.¡± Mother Luo covered her mouth and giggled. ¡°Of course. The more I look at Tingya, the more I like her. I want her to be my goddaughter even if they don¡¯t end up together.¡± At this moment, Ai Tingya was seriously memorizing words. There seemed to be a barrier around her, and nothing could enter her ears. Luo Feng heard it clearly. He had already finished his preparation and was staring at Ai Tingya with his face propped up. Her competitive figure seemed to coincide with the female CEO who took care of him in his previous life. See, everyone liked money, but Ai Tingya¡¯s background made her feel inferior, causing her to be timid when interacting with others. Just tutoring him alone made her retreat several times. Luo Feng was determined to help her change! He had already thought of how to make Ai Tingya obey him even though the outcome of the competition had not been decided. Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡± Ai Tingya said confidently. She was considered an older child at the orphanage, so she had to take care of other children. The sporadic learning time forced her to memorize words quickly. Half an hour was more than enough time for her. ¡°Don¡¯t cry if you lose.¡± Luo Feng smiled. He called Mother Luo over and asked her to help read out the Chinese words. As for Ai Tingya and him, one was leaning against the bed, and the other was leaning against the table, writing down the corresponding English word that they had memorized. Ai Ting Ya checked her work from the beginning to the end with satisfaction finished after writing the words for the target unit. However, Mother Luo continued to read the Chinese words. Luo Feng listened to every word and wrote down the corresponding English word without any intention of stopping behind her. What¡¯s going on? Luo Feng even memorized the next unit? Ai Tingya looked at the mother and son in shock. Mother Luo didn¡¯t know where the end point was, so she continued to read until Luo Feng stretched. ¡°I¡¯m tired, let¡¯s stop here¡± The light voice gave Ai Tingya a heavy blow! She rushed over and snatched Luo Feng¡¯s notebook that had words neatly arranged on it. It was all correct, word for word! ¡°The competition is over.¡± Luo Feng stood up with his hands on his waist. ¡°Classmate Ai Tingya, I won.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Ai Tingya laughed. ¡°I admit defeat. What do you want me to do?¡± Mother Luo¡¯s interest was piqued when she heard that the two children had made a bet. She leaned to the side with her arms crossed as if she was watching a show. Luo Feng scanned Ai Tingya from head to toe and said, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to buy some clothes.¡± After saying that, he bent down and took out his bank card. He avoided Mother Luo¡¯s gaze as he put it in his pocket. ¡°But!¡± Ai Tingya rejected out of habit. Luo Feng covered her mouth and said. ¡°I won, remember?¡± She definitely could not refuse since she had said that she accepted her loss. Ai Tingya blinked and nodded in resignation. The corners of Mother Luo¡¯s mouth almost reached the back of her ears. She thought to herself that her son was really promising. The numerous idol dramas she got him to watch at eight o¡¯clock were not in vain. One did have to have some tricks up one¡¯s sleeve to coax a girl so that she would go out with him willingly. ¡°Xiao Feng, bring Tingya around more. Eat something good for lunch.¡± Mother Luo pushed the two of them out and sent them out with a smile. She also secretly stuffed two bills into Luo Feng¡¯s hands. ¡­ Crown City Commercial Street. There were not many shopping malls in the city more than 10 years ago so shopping was mainly on the commercial streets. There was a dazzling array of shops on both sides. New clothes were hung in the most eye-catching position. Luo Feng picked and chose and finally found a shop that was more suitable for students. The shop assistant ignored them. She subconsciously felt that these two students¡¯ spending power was limited when they entered. Luo Feng¡¯s hand brushed past the side of the clothes on the racks and finally grabbed onto a blue sweater. The soft fur felt very nice on the skin. He took the sweater and threw it to Ai Tingya. ¡°This looks good, go try it on.¡± Ai Tingya had almost never shopped since she was either studying or taking care of the children during her spare time. Her clothes were all leftovers from the older children. Clothes that she outgrew would be left for children younger than her. New clothes were practically a luxury. Therefore, she held the warm sweater in her hand and stammered. ¡°It seems a little big.¡± Luo Feng tilted his head and said to the shop assistant. ¡°Help me get a smaller sized one.¡± The shop assistant walked over slowly and casually glanced at the model. Then, she calmly went to the warehouse at the back to find a smaller one. She deduced that the pair was probably an older brother in the city who had brought his younger sister from the countryside to buy clothes. She felt that they would not be able to spend much by their average dressing and the girl¡¯s careful attitude so she was not very enthusiastic. ¡°Don¡¯t dirty it.¡± The shop assistant was rudely reminded. Ai Tingya felt even more uncomfortable. She held onto Luo Feng¡¯s clothes tightly, not daring to raise her head. Luo Feng glared at the shop assistant, grabbed the sweater, and put it around Ai Tingya¡¯s neck. He held her face and forced her to lift it up. ¡°Go and try. We can afford it no matter how expensive it is!¡± He glared at the shop assistant again after saying that. The shop assistant trembled and felt a chill run down her spine. The teenager in front of her actually had such a cold gaze. Only then did she remember that she was in business and needed to make money by being amiable. She smiled and said to Ai Tingya, ¡°Young lady, your elder brother has good taste. You¡¯re fair and most suitable to wear blue. Go and try it on.¡± Ai Tingya hugged her sweater and said, ¡°He¡¯s not my elder brother.¡± She entered the fitting room after saying that. The shop assistant was stunned. If they weren¡¯t siblings, then they were definitely a couple. Young people these days are really interesting. This young man is quite handsome. Why did he bring this country bumpkin with him? What is he plotting? She doesn¡¯t look very rich either. She clicked her tongue in her heart and thought to herself. Squeak! The door of the fitting room was pushed open, and Ai Tingya emerged with the sweater on. ¡°Nice!¡± Luo Feng praised. He walked to her side and combed her long hair that covered her face. The shop assistant had only planned to say some pleasantries to sell the clothes. She was suddenly stunned when she saw Ai Tingya¡¯s appearance. ¡°So beautiful!¡± The shop assistant praised from the bottom of her heart. Ai Tingya¡¯s skin was fair and tender. She had big eyes, a small nose, and her thin lips were reddened from her bite. No amount of high-grade lipstick would be able to match that natural redness. She was tall and slender and would look good even if she was wrapped in a fertilizer bag with her head held high. The shop assistant immediately became enthusiastic. She took out a few clothes and stuffed them into Ai Tingya¡¯s hand as if she was sweeping the goods for purchase. ¡°These are the explosively popular clothes from this year. Young lady, you¡¯ll definitely look good in them!¡± Then, she pushed Ai Tingya back to the fitting room without any explanation. The passersby were also attracted by the commotion and stopped to watch. They saw Ai Tingya coming out of the fitting room as she tried on the clothes. ¡°Wow! It¡¯s really beautiful! Boss, give me the same set as the young lady!¡± ¡°This one is not bad either. My daughter will look good in it!¡± ¡°Where did the boss find this pretty model? She has good taste. She looks good in anything!¡± The atmosphere in the shop became lively. Ai Tingya changed her clothes obediently, and the staff happily found the same clothes for other customers. Luo Feng suddenly became an outsider. He stood at the side and watched as the shop assistant ushered people in and went around. He counted the money his mother gave him when he left home since he was bored. It was enough to buy Ai Tingya a few sets of clothes if he also considered the 600 yuan in his card. Ai Tingya got tired of changing and walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side to rest after a while. Luo Feng pointed at the pile of clothes in the fitting room and said. ¡°Is there anything you like in there? Pick a few.¡± Ai Tingya touched the pink dress on her body and thought for a moment before saying. ¡°I¡¯ll take that blue sweater.¡± Actually, she liked the clothes the shop assistant gave her very much. They were all nice but the blue sweater was the only one chosen by Luo Feng, and that alone was enough for her. ¡°Just one? All these clothes look good on you.¡± Luo Feng asked, puzzled. ¡°This one is enough!¡± Ai Tingya insisted. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Luo Feng had no choice with Ai Tingya¡¯s insistance. He took the sweater from the bottom of the small mountain and handed it to the shop assistant. ¡°How much for this?¡± Luo Feng asked. The shop assistant happened to send off the last batch of customers. Her smile was brighter than the spring flowers in March. She picked up the blue sweater and looked at the price tag. Ai Tingya had already peeked at the prices when she was trying on the clothes. 180 yuan was simply robbery! ¡°Boss, look, we¡¯ve helped you get so many businesses. Give us a discount.¡± She got the first word in. Luo Feng wasn¡¯t happy when he heard that. He was not only here to buy things for Ai Tingya, he also wanted to confirm a theory¡ª Whether the money in his card would increase with his expenditure. Previously, he had spent 20 yuan on Ai Tingya, but there was suddenly 200 yuan in his card. If he could obtain 10 times what he paid then obviously the higher amount paid, the better. He glanced at the shop assistant and realized that she looked a little troubled. He hurriedly said, ¡°I brought enough money. I¡¯ll pay the original price.¡± Ai Tingya knew that Luo Feng was not lacking in money, but she neither wanted to be a spendthrift, nor wanted to owe Luo Feng too much. She was afraid that it would be difficult for her to pay him back in the future. ¡°We¡¯ll take it if it¡¯s cheaper. Otherwise, we¡¯ll go somewhere else.¡± Ai Tingya insisted. ¡°No need, let¡¯s leave it at that.¡± Luo Feng forcefully joined the bargaining topic and stood on the shop assistant¡¯s side. ¡°Luo Feng, don¡¯t cause trouble!¡± ¡°The original price!¡± The two of them had their own thoughts and started arguing. The shop assistant looked at the two of them awkwardly. She originally wanted to give the sweater to them directly for free. Ai Tingya had helped her to attract so many customers and her attitude towards her in the beginning was not so good after all. Using a sweater to develop a relationship with two repeat customers with goods-carrying attributes wasn¡¯t a bad trade. Who knew that they would argue over it. ¡°Stop arguing. It¡¯s not worth it for such a small matter.¡± The shop assistant tried to smooth things over. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll take a loss and give it to you for free. Come back often in the future.¡± She packed the sweater after saying that. Ai Tingya seemed to have picked up a huge bargain. She took the bag eagerly and said sweetly. ¡°Thank you, Auntie. You¡¯re so nice!¡± However, Luo Feng didn¡¯t relent. He grabbed the bag, took out the price tag, glanced at it, and stuffed the clothes back in. He casually took out two banknotes and placed them in the shop assistant¡¯s hands. ¡°I¡¯m going to purchase it at the original price!¡± Luo Feng said calmly. Ai Tingya puffed up her cheeks in anger. The shop assistant had already given it away readily, so why did he still have to pay? He was a fool! The shop assistant stared at the money in her hand in shock. She did not know whether to accept it or not. She said awkwardly, ¡°Student, you¡­¡± ¡°This is the first item I bought for her, it has to be at the original price¡­ Forget it, don¡¯t bother about the change.¡± Luo Feng said. Ai Tingya¡¯s face immediately turned red hearing this. Bargain? Free gift? They were all squeezed out of her mind by Luo Feng¡¯s words. She buried her head and pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curling up. Luo Feng was too overbearing! She couldn¡¯t refuse at all! The 200 yuan in the bachelorette shop assistant¡¯s hand instantly lost its allure as she looked at the lovey dovey couple in front of her. She felt that young people were really rich nowadays. He gave her 200 yuan for a sweater that cost 45 yuan¡­ Well, he was rich and was buying passion rather than the item itself. The shop assistant put the money into her pocket with a clear conscience when she came back to her senses. ¡°Miss, your boyfriend treats you so well!¡± She gave them a thumbs up. Ai Tingya blushed and whispered, ¡°He¡­ He¡¯s not¡­¡± She did not see the need to explain herself to the stranger, so she grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s hand and left the clothing store. Ai Tingya¡¯s hands were very fair, but they were not tender. The orphanage could only provide the bare essentials. Everything else required self-reliance. Her hands had many more cracks compared to high school students who only carried pens and did homework. Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s hand in a daze and didn¡¯t notice when she stopped. Ai Tingya stopped in her tracks and frowned angrily. She wanted to blame Luo Feng for spending money so extravagantly. She didn¡¯t know when she would be able to pay him back, but she couldn¡¯t get angry when she thought about how Luo Feng¡¯s domineeringness was beyond anything she could have done. Ding ding¡ª The ringing of the phone interrupted their silence. [The latest transaction of your savings card ending with 6688: Income: 2,000 yuan.] Luo Feng smiled in surprise. It was just as he had guessed. He would get 10 times the amount he spent on Ai Tingya transferred into his bank card. Luo Feng noticed the countless symbols above Ai Tingya¡¯s head again standing on the street. The old man on the street was walking on crutches. The jade thumb ring on his thumb shone with a rich green light under the sunlight. The number above his head was only 10. The young man who jogged past him was wearing an old suit and was in a hurry. The number above his head was 90. Luo Feng instantly understood when considered alongside Ai Tingya¡¯s situation¡ª The numbers above everyone¡¯s head represented their potential. No matter how rich an old man was, he couldn¡¯t compare to a young man with an uncertain future¡­ And Ai Tingya had endless potential for development! Luo Feng¡¯s ambition began to grow. In his previous life, Ai Tingya became a female CEO and was already an elite among elites. However, it was far from enough. Luo Feng wanted her to be above everyone else since he was going to do it! ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ai Tingya saw Luo Feng¡¯s face full of joy and curiously looked at his phone. ¡°Did auntie send you a message?¡± Luo Feng covered his phone and said. ¡°No, it¡¯s just a rubbish advertisement.¡± He could not let Ai Tingya see his bank balance. After all, he was only an ordinary student who only had 100 yuan a week for living expenses. The 2,000 yuan balance was enough to cover his family¡¯s expenses for two to three months. It was very troublesome to explain. Ai Tingya did not have the habit of prying into other people¡¯s privacy. ¡°Alright¡­ No, you bought me such expensive clothes. How am I going to pay you back in the future!¡± She composed herself and finally remembered to interrogate him. ¡°You have to obey me since you lost the competition. I said I¡¯ll buy this, so I¡¯ll buy it. You can¡¯t have any objections!¡± Luo Feng joked. Ai Tingya stomped her feet in anger. ¡°But you can¡¯t spend money recklessly!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t we classmates? Why are you so concerned about me spending money?¡± Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and asked the obvious. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry to help me with my household expenses?¡± ¡°You!¡± Ai Tingya was so embarrassed that she could not speak. She covered her face and turned around. ¡°Anyway, you¡¯re the one who spent the money for nothing. I can¡¯t be bothered!¡± Luo Feng looked at her red ears and felt that they were very cute. Ai Tingya was like a little hedgehog that was being teased. She had soft thorns all over her body that were not prickly. She would be fine after a few more words of coaxing. ¡°Let¡¯s buy two more sets of clothes and then grab some food. Do you like hotpot or stir-fry?¡± Luo Feng laughed. Ai Tingya was afraid that her small heart would not be able to take it anymore when she heard that he was going to continue spending money. She hurriedly stopped him and said. ¡°Let¡¯s not shop anymore. Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go and eat. There¡¯s a shop in front¡­¡± ¡°I want to eat Auntie¡¯s cooking.¡± People always like to compromise. Ai Tingya definitely wouldn¡¯t agree if Luo Feng wanted to go home for dinner. However, Ai Tingya would rather go home with Luo Feng if he wanted to go to a restaurant. ¡°Let¡¯s go home then.¡± He grinned triumphantly. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Dad, Mom, we¡¯re back.¡± Luo Feng opened the door and saw the leftovers on the dining table. Father and Mother Luo had eaten their fill and were lying on the sofa watching TV. Mother Luo jumped up from the sofa excitedly when she saw the two of them return. ¡°Why are you guys back so early? Didn¡¯t I tell you to eat something good outside? Xiao Feng, did you bully Tingya by being stingy again?¡± Mother Luo walked over quickly with a bombardment of questions. How refreshing, when have I ever been stingy? Luo Feng thought to himself. He explained, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t spread rumors about me. Tingya didn¡¯t want to eat outside, so we came back. Have you guys finished eating?¡± Mother Luo patted her stomach in satisfaction. ¡°The side dishes Tingya brought are very fresh. We just had to finish them as soon as we could. Let me see the clothes you bought for Tingya.¡± She really treated Ai Tingya like her own child. She naturally took the bag from Luo Feng¡¯s hand and shook out the blue sweater. ¡°This sweater is really nice. The fabric is also very comfortable. I can tell at a glance that Tingya¡¯s taste is great. Little Feng likes black and white sweaters which aren¡¯t energetic at all.¡± She praised non-stop. Luo Feng helplessly rolled his eyes at Mother Luo upon hearing this. Who is your biological child? You side with Ai Tingya at every juncture. You¡¯re stepping on me and holding her up. Do you think I¡¯m the b*stard child? ¡°Yes yes yes, your Tingya has the best taste.¡± Luo Feng rubbed his stomach. ¡°Is there anything to eat? We¡¯re hungry.¡± Mother Luo did not answer. Instead, she bent down and looked at their hands. She realized that there was really only one bag. ¡°I asked you to buy clothes for Tingya, and you only bought this one piece?¡± At this moment, Ai Tingya was covering her mouth and laughing. She explained when she heard that Mother Luo had misunderstood the situation. Mother Luo hugged Ai Tingya¡¯s arm and said. ¡°Going shopping with a man is akin to killing him. Go with Auntie the next time round, I guarantee that the clothes you buy will be beautiful and affordable. Auntie can even get a staff price¡­¡± She led Ai Tingya to the sofa and sat her down as she spoke. Ai Tingya was humble and gentle to her elders. She did whatever she was told to do. The two of them hit it off quite well when they chatted about discounts. Luo Feng protested. ¡°Mom, food¡­¡± Ai Tingya was the first to react as a guest. She had owed the Luo family a lot and wanted to help with some housework. Mother Luo pressed her back onto the sofa and said, ¡°Tingya, you¡¯re tired too. Let Xiao Feng do the cooking.¡± Then, she winked at Luo Feng, telling him to seize the chance to perform. Luo Feng¡¯s mother¡¯s double standards made him even more speechless. He only learned how to cook after graduation. His mother really dared to say anything even though he was a student who only knew how to boil water. He sauntered into the kitchen. There was still some pork ribs soup left in the pot, and the other ingredients were only enough to make fried rice. However, Ai Tingya was not an outsider, so he decided to make do with it today. Luo Fengbai placed all the ingredients on the table and picked up the carrot to cut it into evenly-sized particles, followed by smoked meat and onions. The rhythmic sound of cutting vegetables came from the kitchen, interrupting the two people chatting happily on the sofa. Father Luo put down the remote control and scratched his face as he asked Mother Luo. ¡°Are you sure that Xiao Feng can cook? Why do I seem to remember that he only knows how to cook instant noodles?¡± ¡°Aiya!¡± Mother Luo slapped her forehead and said. ¡°Don¡¯t cut your hand!¡± Ai Tingya was also extremely worried. She would have persisted a little harder if she had known earlier. The food she cooked was edible at the very least, even though her culinary skills were not very good. The three of them immediately ran to the kitchen door. The scene in the kitchen made their mouths drop open unconsciously. Luo Feng was stirring the rice to make it easier to cook. The four side dishes had different colors and were neatly arranged on the plate. Mother Luo rubbed her eyes in shock. Her son learned how to cook without a teacher? Then, he set the pot on fire. The sizzling sound of the vegetables¡ª Yellow egg fragments, purple diced onions, orange carrots, and green onions¡ª being stirred. Just looking at them stimulated their appetite. A handful of smoked meat was added to stir-fry, producing a strong fragrance. Finally, he added rice and stir-fried it twice. The entire room was filled with such a fragrance! Luo Feng placed two servings of fried rice on the table and said. ¡°Tingya, hurry up and eat. I¡¯ll go get you some soup.¡± Mother Luo came over first. She stared at the fried rice and swallowed her saliva. ¡°My son¡¯s fried rice is so fragrant. Give me a taste.¡± Luo Feng glanced at his mother and proudly moved the plate away. ¡°I cooked it specially for Tingya. Every bite you take means one less bite for her. Next time.¡± After saying that, he pulled Ai Tingya to sit down and hummed a tune before entering the kitchen. Mother Luo pursed her lips sadly when she heard that. She actually could not eat a single bite of the first meal her son made. However, on second thought, the person who ate it was Ai Tingya. This child was sensible, capable, and was someone to dote on. She didn¡¯t seem so angry anymore. ¡°Tingya, hurry up and eat. Auntie and Uncle won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± Mother Luo wiped the corners of her mouth and sat back on the sofa reluctantly. Ai Tingya was so touched that she could not speak. Her hand that was holding the spoon hung in the air and she did not eat it for a long time. Her eyes burned as Luo Feng¡¯s words echoed in her ears. This was the first time someone specially cooked for her. She had only eaten in the cafeterias in school and in the orphanage ever since she could remember. No one had ever cooked specially for her, not even a simple fried rice. ¡°Is it good?¡± Luo Feng put down the soup and sat beside Ai Ting Ya. ¡°Delicious.¡± Ai Ting Ya lowered her head, scooped up a big spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth. She didn¡¯t want Luo Feng to see her wet eyes. Luo Feng supported his face as he watched Ai Tingya eat happily. His heart filled with happiness. He didn¡¯t know if the food in the orphanage was too lousy or if Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t bear to eat. This beautiful girl was raised like a little chick. Right at this time, Luo Feng heard the sound of tin foil in his bag. He had this feeling before! He turned his back towards Ai Tingya who was eating happily and took out the box. There was a simple name¡ª Physical Body Enhancement Pill! Given the previous experience, Luo Feng didn¡¯t hesitate to take out the pill and mix it into the rice, swallowing it in one gulp. He felt a warm current spreading from his abdomen to his limbs immediately. It washed over every cell like a gentle wave. The fatigue of staying up late dissipated, and his breathing became much smoother. ¡°Phew¡­¡± Luo Feng let out a breath of relief. His eyes were like torches, and he was in high spirits! Mother Luo, who was secretly observing, nudged Father Luo. ¡°Look at our son. Why did he suddenly become so handsome?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just two bowls of fried rice? Do you have to treat him like that? Why didn¡¯t you say that I¡¯m handsome when I was serving you?¡± Father Luo glanced at her in disdain and continued to immerse himself in the television. The more Mother Luo looked at him, the more she felt that something was wrong. It was as if Luo Feng¡¯s face was suddenly covered with a layer of filter. After thinking for a moment, Mother Luo concluded that it must be the nourishment from love! She felt that all the explanations made sense at this thought. All the credit belonged to Ai Tingya! The more she looked at her, the more she liked this girl! Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios From that day onwards, Ai Tingya would return to Luo Feng¡¯s house to tutor him every Saturday. Ai Tingya had specially created a tuition plan. Not only did they not miss the new third-year classes, they also revised the knowledge points of their first and second year. The knowledge points were divided into several modules in detail. They could memorize a few words and a few equations every week. However, Ai Tingya¡¯s tuition plan quickly became invalid. The reason was that Luo Feng¡¯s learning ability was too good! He remembered them even better than his home address after listening to a new class for half an hour and sleeping for 10 minutes. He could immediately recall his past knowledge and never forget it again as long as Ai Tingya gave him a hint. This caused Ai Ting Ya to repeatedly jump around in admiration and frustration. She was happy for Luo Feng, but at the same time, she felt like she was being outdone. As a result, she became even stricter with herself. She would open her book and start studying after helping out at the orphanage everyday. The routine lasted until the end of the semester. The school only prepared a preliminary examination for the third-year students so that they knew how they were doing. They were afraid of increasing the psychological pressure on the students, so they did not publicize the rankings. The winter break began with an indifferent atmosphere. Ai Tingya sat by the bed unmoving that night and read seriously under the weak light of the night lamp. She did not relax at all even though it was the holiday. A girl with short hair that reached her ears, who was about the same age as Ai Tingya, walked in and placed a coat on Ai Tingya¡¯s lap. ¡°Xiao Ya, go to the study room to read. The lights there are brighter.¡± The girl said with concern. Ai Tingya shook her head and said. ¡°It¡¯s too wasteful. This place is good enough. Xiao Fei, you sleep first. I¡¯ll read two more pages.¡± The girl called Xiao Fei was Ai Tingya¡¯s best friend in the orphanage. She sat beside Ai Tingya and rested her face on her hands. She felt that something was wrong with Ai Tingya recently. She would always disappear for a day on the weekends. Occasionally, she would see someone send her back on a bicycle, but it was parked a few hundred meters away, so it was difficult to see the person¡¯s face clearly. Xiao Fei was worried that Ai Tingya would be deceived. ¡°Xiao Ya, you¡¯re always staying up late. You¡¯ll get pimples on your face.¡± She said in an innocent tone. ¡°Really?¡± Ai Tingya put down her book and held her face, as if an acne would pop out in the next second. Xiao Fei narrowed her eyes and revealed a gossipy smile. ¡°You¡¯ve never cared about these things in the past. Why are you suddenly concerned about your appearance? Tell me! Do you have someone you like?¡± The orphanage only ensured the children¡¯s food and shelter. Appearance was an extravagance. Therefore, Ai Tingya had always used her hair to cover her face. This way, she could save a lot of trouble and not be distracted easily. Xiao Fei had read romance novels for many years and understood what it meant for a woman to dress up for her lover. Moreover, Ai Tingya had indeed gained a lot of clothes and accessories recently. It was really curious. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I don¡¯t have anyone I like!¡± Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t control her eyes darting around. Guilt was written all over her face. ¡°And yet your face is as red as a monkey¡¯s butt!¡± Xiao Fei became even more excited. ¡°Tell me, is it the person who sends you back every week?¡± ¡°Huh? You all saw it?¡± Ai Tingya said shyly. She was afraid that the children in the orphanage would see this and create a bad image of puppy love, so she only let Luo Feng send her to the corner of the street every week while she walked back. Xiao Fei squeezed Ai Tingya affectionately and rubbed against her shoulder. ¡°Who is it? Is it the person who gave you the sweater? When will you bring him back for us to meet?¡± ¡°Aiya, no it¡¯s not him!¡± Ai Tingya retorted. ¡°I don¡¯t like him. I just¡­ I just think about him often¡­¡± ¡°Xiao Ya, you¡¯ve gone crazy from studying. This is love!¡± Xiao Fei danced with joy. ¡°You¡¯re happy just thinking about him, right? Your heart feels warm, and you can¡¯t control it. You always want to be with him, isn¡¯t it? This is love! You¡¯ve fallen in love!¡± Ai Tingya listened to Xiao Fei¡¯s professional analysis and reflected on how she had been paying attention to Luo Feng recently. They were deskmates, but Luo Feng didn¡¯t want to leave his seat even 10 minutes after class ended. Luo Feng would also be sad if he was called away by other students. ¡°No. I¡¯m not.¡± Ai Tingya insisted. She had nothing now, it was too embarrassing to admit that she liked Luo Feng. Xiao Fei tried another method to probe, seeing that she was unwilling to admit it. ¡°Alright then. Perhaps someone has been closer to you recently. Bring him here. I¡¯ll help you take a look at his character so that you won¡¯t be deceived by him without knowing anything about it.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need¡­¡± ¡°What do you mean no need! It¡¯s almost New Year¡¯s Eve. We have a gala here, so there¡¯s a reason for you to bring him here!¡± Xiao Fei¡¯s words reminded Ai Tingya. She had received too much help from Luo Feng, from her studies to her daily life. So much so that she had no way to repay him. It was indeed too much to keep rejecting him, so she decided to treat him to a meal. ¡°Alright then, don¡¯t spout nonsense when the time comes!¡± Ai Tingya warned in advance. ¡°Who do you think I am? Don¡¯t worry!¡± Xiao Fei secretly rejoiced, already looking forward to it. On reunion days like New Year¡¯s Eve, the orphanage would hold an artistic performance to use the joyous atmosphere to dilute the misery of being homeless. There was no limit to the content of the singing and recital. Ai Tingya would go up and dance once a year as the finale. Ai Tingya went to look for Luo Feng as usual the next morning. Mother Luo knew that she was coming and had already prepared drinks and snacks. She seemed to have set a goal for herself to feed Ai Tingya well, so the first thing she did every time she arrived was not to study but eat something. Ai Tingya had been here for a semester and was already used to Mother Luo¡¯s enthusiasm. Ai Tingya was distracted while eating the snacks. Her eyes unconsciously moved towards Luo Feng¡¯s body. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng noticed Ai Tingya¡¯s gaze and asked. Ai Tingya braced herself, seeing that she could not avoid it, and said, ¡°We have a party on New Year¡¯s Eve. We want to invite you¡­ Auntie and Uncle to take a look. Do you have time?¡± She asked carefully. Mother Luo smiled brightly and answered quickly. ¡°Your uncle and I have something on. We¡¯ll let Little Feng go on our behalf!¡± It was still too early for their parents to meet, so she let Xiao Feng meet them first. Mother Luo thought about it and kept winking at Luo Feng to get him to agree. Luo Feng speechlessly glanced at his mother. Your intentions are written all over your face. Besides, I didn¡¯t say I wouldn¡¯t go. ¡°Of course I have time.¡± Luo Feng smiled. His various indicators were changing in the best direction, including his looks after taking the pill to improve his physical fitness. It was like a spring breeze blew past when he smiled. More importantly, Luo Feng discovered that additional tools would appear every time his relationship with Ai Tingya got closer! Of course, he had to seize every opportunity to get along with Ai Tingya! ¡°Okay!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s uneasy heart calmed down and said gently. ¡°It¡¯s a deal then!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios On New Year¡¯s Eve. Mother Luo had already chased Luo Feng out of the house: ¡°Don¡¯t make Ting Ya wait anymore, hurry up and leave!¡± She was like a stepmother in a TV drama. She would ask her son to go somewhere else on her big day. If not for the fact that he had the birth certificate at home, Luo Feng really felt like he was picked up from the trash can. Ai Tingya, who was waiting at the door, could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. She had completely gotten used to Mother Luo¡¯s favoritism after spending a few months together. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Luo Feng said angrily. ¡°You¡¯re not in a hurry right? Accompany me to shop for something.¡± Ai Tingya nodded and followed beside Luo Feng. The two of them walked along the street in the direction of the orphanage. Most of the shops on the street were still open even though it was already New Year¡¯s Eve. Luo Feng looked around as he walked, searching for what he wanted. ¡°Right, will you perform at the gala?¡± Luo Feng suddenly asked. ¡°I¡­ I will dance¡­¡± Ai Tingya shrank her head and whispered with a red face. Luo Feng found opportunities to buy all kinds of things for Ai Tingya during the semester of tutoring. He didn¡¯t leave out any clothes or skincare products, including a card at the beauty salon. The current Ai Tingya was no longer covered in dirt. ¡°You should prepare some clothes if you are going to dance, right? Do you have any? Let¡¯s go and buy one now.¡± Luo Feng seized every opportunity to spend on Ai Tingya. He already had a little over 20,000 yuan in his card after his tireless efforts. He was already standing at the top of the pyramid in this era where he could do whatever he wanted. Ai Tingya frowned and replied. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ve already prepared it. When can you change your habit of spending money? It¡¯s not easy for Uncle and Auntie to earn money!¡± After a few months of getting used to it, Ai Tingya was no longer as fearful as she was in the beginning. Instead, she could turn around and lecture Luo Feng. Luo Feng looked at her and laughed. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you, let¡¯s buy some food and leave.¡± The two of them walked into a nearby supermarket. Luo Feng picked out many of the children¡¯s favorite biscuits and candies. They only left the supermarket satisfied after buying so much that they could no longer carry anymore. The old metal door of the orphanage was wrapped in ribbons. A few aunties were pasting spring festival couplets on it. They didn¡¯t greet Luo Feng and just smiled when they saw him. Ai Tingya called out to them one by one, then led Luo Feng inside. This orphanage had been established for 10 years. The white paint on the outer walls had fallen off, revealing the gray walls inside. There were traces of rain on the roof, and the entire house seemed to be covered in a layer of smog. Fortunately, the children¡¯s laughter added some color to the orphanage¡¯s bleak atmosphere. Luo Feng had just entered the gate when he saw a girl with a short bob standing under the eaves with her arms crossed. Her brows were tightly furrowed as she looked at him from top to bottom. Her little mouth was pouting in dissatisfaction. More than ten children of different ages poked their heads out like the tail feathers of a peacock behind her. The girl with a short bob walked towards Luo Feng with hostility. ¡°You¡¯re the person our Xiao Ya misses?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s face turned red. She quickly covered the girl¡¯s mouth. ¡°Xiao Fei! Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Luo Feng chuckled. ¡°My name is Luo Feng, hello.¡± Xiao Fei broke free from Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and said. ¡°We¡¯re helping you to judge him, little ones! Bring Big Sister Xiao Ya away!¡± The children left the group and held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand as they walked into the house after saying that. Ai Tingya looked back at Luo Feng worriedly. The other children seemed to have rehearsed this as they lined up in a row, blocking their line of sight. Xiao Fei was like a feudal elder who strongly opposed her daughter being with a poor scholar, grounding her just because of a disagreement. ¡°How long have you known Xiao Ya?¡± Xiao Fei asked with a crooked mouth. ¡°Tell me!¡± ¡°Did you bully our Big Sister Xiao Ya?!¡± ¡°We¡¯re not to be trifled with!¡± The children acting as fences chimed in, creating a huge commotion. Luo Feng looked in the direction Ai Tingya left and asked: ¡°Where did Tingya go?¡± ¡°Shut up! Who said you can call Tingya by her name? We haven¡¯t admitted you into our midst yet!¡± Xiao Fei scolded loudly. Luo Feng had no intention of fooling around with them. He waved the snacks in his hand and said, ¡°This is a gift for you guys. Can you let me in to find Tingya?¡± The corners of Xiao Fei¡¯s mouth curled up as she said confidently. ¡°Do you think you can bribe us with this little favor? Let me tell you, we¡¯re doing this for Xiao Ya¡¯s happiness¡­¡± The children standing at the back swarmed up and surrounded Luo Feng, before he could finish speaking. ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re such a nice person!¡± ¡°Big Sister Xiao Ya is in the kitchen. Go find her quickly.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll help you stop Big Sister Xiao Fei. She¡¯s very fierce. Leave quickly!¡± Luo Feng felt his hand lighten in the blink of an eye. He then bypassed the stunned Xiao Fei and headed straight for the kitchen. He heard another angry shout behind him just as he reached the roof. ¡°Leave some for me!¡± The bribery was successful! Luo Feng found Ai Tingya in the kitchen with a sly smile. ¡°Xiao Fei didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, right?¡± Ai Tingya was washing the pot when Luo Feng entered. She quickly wiped her hands and found a chair for him to sit on. ¡°We¡¯re all friendly and honest people, so they let me in without saying much.¡± Luo Feng sat down and stared at Ai Tingya who was wearing an apron. ¡°It¡¯s rare for them to have snacks at all. Could it be that you¡¯ve thought about it before coming?¡± Ai Tingya smiled. The phone in Luo Feng¡¯s pocket would start vibrating as long as she was happy. Luo Feng was very familiar with this commotion. The money he used to buy snacks would have been returned to his bank account in multiples. It would be recognized as an investment in Ai Tingya as long as he followed Ai Tingya¡¯s wishes. ¡°When does the party start?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first. The people from the television station will only come at seven, and then we¡¯ll start.¡± Ai Tingya said. Luo Feng looked at the dishes prepared on the stove. The sumptuous chicken, duck, and fish were as good as those in the restaurants outside. Most likely, they were sponsored by someone, so it was reasonable for them to film some promotional videos. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t your dance be seen by a lot of people then? What if a talent scout signed you on?¡± Luo Feng joked. Ai Tingya was much more beautiful than those vases in the future even though he did not know if Ai Tingya was good at dancing. She would definitely be the face of an entertainment company if she were to join. Ai Tingya also smiled. ¡°Then I¡¯ll sign the contract. I happen to want to earn money as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Why are you thinking about earning money again? Didn¡¯t I tell you to study hard?¡± An old voice interrupted the two of them right at this moment. Luo Feng turned around and saw a middle-aged woman with white hair and glasses walking in with her hands behind her back. The wrinkles on the woman¡¯s face seemed to be carved by a knife as she stared at Ai Tingya helplessly. ¡°Dean Du.¡± Ai Tingya smiled and shook the water in her hand in order to help her in. ¡°I was just joking with my classmate. It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t study.¡± Dean Du¡¯s legs weren¡¯t good, so she got onto the stool slowly and sat opposite Luo Feng. She looked at Luo Feng and smiled: ¡°It¡¯s so rare to see Xiao Ya bring her classmates back, are you Xiao Ya¡¯s boyfriend? You¡¯re so handsome¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°You¡¯re Xiao Ya¡¯s boyfriend? You¡¯re so handsome.¡± Dean Du smiled and expressed a family-like approval. Ai Tingya stomped her feet in embarrassment. ¡°Dean! What are you talking about! We¡¯re just ordinary classmates!¡± It seemed that everyone who was close to Ai Tingya liked to tease her. Dean Du laughed when she saw this. ¡°What¡¯s there to be shy about? My family was already helping me arrange my marriage when I was your age.¡± ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m not talking to you anymore!¡± Ai Tingya snorted and went to help again with a red face. Luo Feng watched her every move and felt that Ai Tingya¡¯s shy appearance was exceptionally cute. He wondered how beautiful she would look when she danced. Dean Du was chatting with Luo Feng while Ai Tingya was busy preparing dinner. She was very friendly and talkative, without the airs of an elder. Luo Feng and Dean Du chatted happily, and before he knew it, it was time to eat. There were not many children in the orphanage. They barely managed to fill up two tables together with the adults who took care of the children. However, the atmosphere was still very lively. It was rare for the children to see so many dishes all year round. They were so happy that they almost flew to the table. Their eyes were shining, but they did not snatch the food. Dean Du¡¯s taught them their table manners. The children were very modest. ¡°Luo Feng, have this.¡± Ai Tingya took the initiative to pick up a chicken drumstick and placed it in Luo Feng¡¯s bowl. Luo Feng couldn¡¯t help but be a bit surprised. He thought that given Ai Tingya¡¯s personality, she would definitely give something as good as a chicken drumstick to the little ones below, yet the first thing she picked up was given to him. Suddenly! He felt a resentful gaze from the sidelines! Xiao Fei bit her chopsticks and stared at Luo Feng¡¯s drumstick, feeling wronged. She complained softly, ¡°Xiao Ya would always give it to me in the past! Stupid Luo Feng, bad Luo Feng!¡± Dean Du chuckled and said to Luo Feng, ¡°In the past, whenever there was delicious food on the table, everyone tacitly agreed to leave them for the person who needed it the most. Xiao Ya consumed a lot of energy in her third year of high school, so it would be given to her. She¡¯ll then pass it to Xiao Fei. However, these are only distributed after the meal.¡± So that was how it was. Ai Tingya gave everything she liked to him. No wonder Xiao Fei was hostile towards him. Luo Feng felt his heart warm. He smiled and took a bite of the drumstick. ¡°It¡¯s delicious. Thank you, Tingya.¡± ¡°As long as you like it!¡± Ai Tingya smiled blissfully. Dean Du also revealed a loving smile, as if her cabbage had found a warm new nest seeing the two of them having fun. Only Xiao Fei bared her teeth in hatred and said with dissatisfaction. ¡°Stupid Luo Feng, you¡¯ve taken all of Xiao Ya¡¯s love! Xiao Ya, you¡¯re not allowed to look at him and smile. I haven¡¯t agreed yet as a member of your family!¡± They laughed out loud when everyone heard this. The atmosphere immediately became lively. Two vans drove in from the courtyard while they were eating. Four or five people jumped down from the vans and set up sound racks and various tools. Dean Du called out, ¡°Everyone, finish your food quickly. The gala is about to begin.¡± The children obediently lowered their heads and ate heartily, as if they were rushing for a mission. No one chatted or laughed. Ai Tingya leaned close to Luo Feng¡¯s ear. ¡°There¡¯s a celebrity coming. They said that they would donate some of the furniture at home if we cooperate with them for charity work.¡± Most of the funding received by the orphanage was used to feed and clothe the children. Tables, chairs, stools, broken legs, and nails had been repaired for several years. The beds they slept on were rusty, the dim light bulbs and wiring were old. The cost of renovating any one of them was not a small sum for the orphanage. Dean Du really needed the money even though cooperating with celebrities was disgusting. Luo Feng looked out the window at the busy workers and nodded without saying anything. The stage was set up after a while. The children put down their bowls and chopsticks and gathered in the courtyard. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya followed them. A nanny van slowly drove over after standing in the freezing weather for 15 minutes. A man wearing sunglasses and a black down jacket alighted from it. He had a fashionable handsome man¡¯s long hair and a necklace that almost reached his navel. Luo Feng couldn¡¯t find anyone like him in his memory of the future. Maybe he was only famous for a few years. ¡°Welcome, welcome.¡± Dean Du welcomed him warmly. The starlet grinned, revealing a row of bright teeth. He held Dean Du¡¯s hands and said, ¡°Dean, you¡¯ve waited for a long time! We¡¯re here to visit the children!¡± Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, thinking that this little celebrity dressed up so flamboyantly and seemed like a nice person. In the next second, someone in the nanny van shouted. ¡°Cut!¡± The starlet¡¯s smile instantly collapsed. He retracted his hand and said, ¡°How was the scene just now?¡± ¡°Perfect, perfect!¡± The cameraman carrying the camera jumped out of the car and gave him a thumbs up. ¡°Qiu Liang and the Dean performed very well! There were alot of emotions put into it!¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s start quickly! It¡¯s so cold!¡± The little celebrity, Qiu Liang, complained and sat back in the car. Dean Du¡¯s welcoming hand was left hanging awkwardly in the cold wind. The little-known celebrity was obviously here to put on a show! Luo Feng was furious and wanted to step forward to argue. Ai Tingya quickly stopped him and advised upon seeing this. ¡°Don¡¯t go! The new furniture still depends on him!¡± Luo Feng said angrily. ¡°Even I can help change new furniture given this amount of things!¡± Renovating an orphanage wouldn¡¯t be a problem with the money in his card, so why would they need a collaboration show? Also, Dean Du is a respectable person, so Luo Feng can¡¯t bear to see her suffer! Wasn¡¯t a Dean who raised a child without a family more noble than a non-mainstream little-known celebrity? ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Ai Tingya advised. ¡°The director knew that this would happen, so she willingly cooperated!¡± Her words reminded Luo Feng that a little impatience would spoil great plans. Indeed, there were so many orphanages in the world. Little-known celebrities donating things could also help increase their popularity and attract more social donations. For the current Dean Du, this was the only and best way. Luo Feng gradually relaxed and accepted Ai Tingya¡¯s explanation. At this moment, Dean Du had already sorted out her emotions. She still had a loving smile on her face as she clapped her hands and said, ¡°Children, get ready. It¡¯s your turn to perform!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± The children said in unison and stood on the stage like ducklings. Luo Feng asked curiously: ¡°What¡¯s the first program?¡± ¡°The celebrity¡¯s solo. But the kids are going to be the backdrop to look good.¡± Ai Tingya did not like Qiu Liang¡¯s behavior either, but she had no choice. She did not have the ability to support the orphanage yet, so she could only rely on these shows. She stared at the stage unwillingly and sighed helplessly. Qiu Liang¡¯s nanny van did not move for a long time even though the children were in position and the cameras were set up. Then, a fatty jumped down from the front passenger seat of the minivan and walked around to Qiu Liang¡¯s side. He respectfully opened the car door and said a few words to the car with a smile. Only then did Qiu Liang slowly walk down and take off the sunglasses on his nose bridge. ¡°Kids, you¡¯re lucky to be on the same stage as me. Don¡¯t cause any trouble for me!¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The music started! ¡°I come from chance, like a speck of dust. Who sees my vulnerability?¡± ¡°Where did I come from? Where is my love? Who will call on me in the next moment¡­¡± The children closed their eyes and sang ¡°Gratitude Heart¡± in their best state on the stage. Everyone who heard it felt sad coupled with the neat sign language. They must have rehearsed for a long time. In the past few years, ¡°Gratitude Heart¡± and sign language dance were the standard at every public event. Luo Feng used to find it boring, but he finally learned to appreciate it after coming into contact with Ai Tingya¡¯s life. He was immersed in the song and silently applauded the children. The beautiful singing stopped abruptly when it was Qiu Liang¡¯s turn to sing. The shining star held the microphone. His beautiful face had a gentle smile, and one could see his white molars when he opened his mouth, but no sound could be heard. Luo Feng thought that the equipment was malfunctioning, so he looked around and prepared to do something. Then he heard the children¡¯s simple singing. This repeated over and over again. Every time it was Qiu Liang¡¯s turn to sing, he would only open his mouth and not make a sound. The children who acted as the background had to pretend to be very intoxicated. Their bodies were like small waves, swaying left and right with the melody. ¡°You came here to lip-sync?¡± Luo Feng said unhappily. The 2000s era was still not yet the era where pretty young hunks and flower vases were in power. One could only rely on strength if one wanted to carve out a path in the music industry where immortals fought. Qiu Liang naturally had some singing skills since he was a little famous. Ai Tingya pursed her lips and said nothing. ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do.¡± An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded beside him. ¡°He said that he wants to nourish his voice and wants us to record his singing later.¡± Luo Feng turned his head and saw that the fatty who jumped out of the van was standing next to him. The meat on his face jiggled as he revealed an apologetic smile. ¡°Why are you telling us this?¡± Luo Feng was confused. He looked up and realized that the number above the fatty¡¯s head was actually 1,000! It was much higher than normal people! This proved that this person had a lot of potential for development in the future. Luo Feng suddenly became interested in him. The fatty smiled sadly. ¡°Little friend, you¡¯re so straightforward. There¡¯s no need for me to beat around the bush with you. Pretend that you didn¡¯t see this. We¡¯ll donate more things. How about that?¡± He looked at Luo Feng¡¯s clothes and knew that he wasn¡¯t a child from the orphanage. The other children would cooperate for donations, but this outsider needs to be taken care of. Luo Feng feigned innocence and asked: ¡°Uncle Fatty is really generous, but how much more do you mean when you said you will donate more?¡± He used to be a businessman, someone who fought his way to fame and fortune. This person would be able to get away with it if he doesn¡¯t give a specific number. Luo Feng has to get a clear understanding even if it was for free. ¡°Hahaha, little boy, you¡¯re really interesting.¡± The fatty stretched out two fingers and said, ¡°How about adding another 20 sets of tables and chairs?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes lit up. One of their rooms had the signboard of a library but it was empty. There were a few overturned books on the crooked bookshelves. The only two tables were ground to a pulp. They would have to sit on the ground to read if there were more people. 20 new sets of tables and chairs would be like a new library to them. Luo Feng saw Ai Tingya¡¯s ¡°satisfied¡± expression on her face and decided not to bargain with Fatty. ¡°Little classmate, you¡¯re quite smart,¡± The fatty praised. He felt that children these days were not easy to fool. He pinched his chin and carefully examined Luo Feng¡¯s side profile. His eyes immediately lit up! The boy in front of him was tall and straight like a pine tree. The corner of his chin was as sharp as a knife. His handsome face was still young, but there was a mature and steady aura between his eyebrows. His complicated temperament was blended nicely and he was born with a photogenic face! The fatty took out a business card and handed it to Luo Feng as if he had found a treasure. ¡°Student, my name is Yang Tianzhen. I¡¯m the manager of One Heart Entertainment. You have the potential to be a celebrity. Do you want to enter the entertainment industry?¡± ¡°Not interested.¡± Luo Feng said calmly. His goal was the sea of stars, and the entertainment industry was a little cramped. Yang Tianzhen persisted and forcefully stuffed the business card into Luo Feng¡¯s pocket. ¡°There¡¯s no rush to answer. You can give me an answer after you¡¯ve thought about it.¡± He even gave Luo Feng two admiring winks after saying that. At this moment, the intermittent singing on the stage finally stopped. Qiu Liang walked down with his shiny black leather shoes. His smug look was as if he had completed his fateful performance. Yang Tianzhen sighed tiredly and squeezed out a smile to welcome him. ¡°Thank you for your hard work. Today¡¯s work will be over as long as you show your face after the party!¡± ¡°We still have to wait until it¡¯s over?¡± Qiu Liang rolled his eyes and got into the nanny van angrily. Yang Tianzhen followed hurriedly with a smile and kept talking nicely. Ai Tingya stared at this scene in a daze and said enviously, ¡°It¡¯s so good to be coaxed at work¡­¡± She had always treated being sensible as her motto. Most of the time, she had to suffer to help others. She got the rare pampering when she met Luo Feng. Yang Tianzhen still welcomed Qiu Liang with a smile even though he was being so willful. She couldn¡¯t understand this strange way of getting along, but she was still very envious. ¡°You can be it if you like it!¡± Luo Feng held the business card between his fingers. He would also support Ai Tingya if she chose to enter the entertainment industry. Ai Tingya laughed. ¡°I¡¯m not as good-looking as you. Forget it. I¡¯m going to change.¡± Luo Feng stared at her fleeing figure and frowned helplessly. It seemed like his transformation of Ai Tingya wasn¡¯t thorough enough. Even though her appearance had changed a lot, it would still take a long time for her to abandon her inferiority complex and sensitivity. ¡°What are you still standing there for?¡± Xiao Fei pushed Luo Feng, ¡°Xiao Ya is going to dance. You won¡¯t have a good spot if you don¡¯t leave now.¡± Luo Feng followed the direction she ran in and saw everyone from the orphanage squatting in front of the stage, all of them looking at her with anticipation like fangirls. ¡°Does Tingya dance well?¡± Luo Feng had never heard Ai Tingya mention it before. He followed Xiao Fei to Dean Du¡¯s side. Dean Du was still amiable. She with a faint smile on her lips. ¡°Xiao Ya is very talented in dancing. In the past, she was even fancied by a dance master, but she said that she couldn¡¯t bear to part with us, so she gave up on it.¡± Dean Du¡¯s voice was filled with regret speaking of this. Ai Tingya was sensible and obedient. She had already started to think from the Dean¡¯s perspective at the age when other children were still carefree. She could not bear to see the Dean worry about many things in the orphanage alone. She would rather stay and live a poor life, bearing the pain and give up her bright future. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡± Luo Feng felt his heart empty. No wonder she looked so envious when she saw Qiu Liang just now. She was once very close to such a life. ¡°Look! Xiao Ya is on the stage!¡± Xiao Fei¡¯s exclamation pulled Luo Feng back to reality. Ai Tingya was standing on the stage dressed in green¡­ Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ai Tingya wore a green ancient dress and stood like a green bamboo pavilion in the forest. Melodious and soothing music sounded. Ai Tingya¡¯s figure was as ethereal as a shadow. She swayed with the music, as if she was flying or leaning sideways. The courtyard became quiet. The staff, who had been chatting, stopped talking. They were attracted by the girl¡¯s beautiful dance on the stage. The cigarette in their mouths almost burned their lips but they had yet to feel it. Yang Tianzhen got out of the car as if his soul had been hooked. Qiu Liang¡¯s complaints were forgotten. He took out another business card after admiring the scene for a moment. Luo Feng stared fixedly at Ai Tingya. His entire body was deeply immersed in her dance, and every beat struck his heart. Ai Tingya¡¯s emotions were fully conveyed even though her movements couldn¡¯t compare to someone who had training. Her eyes furrowed, and her every move was filled with sorrow. Luo Feng could clearly hear the weak breathing sounds around him. They were all amazed by Ai Tingya¡¯s dance regardless of whether they had seen it before or not. There was thunderous applause at the scene after the dance. The cameraman grabbed the tail of the beautiful dance and recorded the enthusiastic reaction of the audience after he finally reacted. The prolonged applause alarmed the disdainful Qiu Liang in the car. He slowly got out of the car and saw Yang Tianzhen pushing aside the layers of audience and rushed to the front like a rolling ball, clumsily climbing onto the stage. He raised the business card like a flower and bowed 90 degrees. ¡°Student, you¡¯re very talented in dancing. Come into the entertainment industry with me! I promise to find the most professional teacher for you. You¡¯ll definitely be successful!¡± If Luo Feng was like a flower on a high mountain, then Ai Tingya was like a gem in a crevice. Yang Tianzhen felt like his luck had changed and he had found two potential talents at the same time. He had been in the industry for a few years and was quite experienced. He had made Qiu Liang, a little-known celebrity, a little famous. He did not expect Qiu Liang to be a shallow person and had started to be arrogant before he became an A-lister. He would not have wanted to serve Qiu Liang anymore if not for the fact that he had not found a more suitable person. Qiu Liang was so arrogant just because he had a good voice.Yang Tianzhen could not take it anymore! Ai Tingya was flattered and didn¡¯t know what to do. She looked at Luo Feng for help, hoping that he would make a decision for her. Luo Feng walked onto the stage and stood in front of Ai Tingya: ¡°Uncle Fatty, you¡¯ve affected the progress of the party.¡± Yang Tianzhen scratched his chubby face in shame and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was too excited and didn¡¯t see clearly just now. It turns out that you¡¯re beautiful and can dance well. With your qualifications, you¡¯ll definitely be so popular that you can make waves in the industry!¡± Ai Tingya nervously grabbed the corner of Luo Feng¡¯s shirt and lowered her head in silence. Luo Feng used his hand to block Yang Tian Zhen¡¯s business card and said. ¡°At least let her change first.¡± He took off his coat and draped it over Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulders. He then helped her leave the stage. Yang Tianzhen was very polite to his collaborators. He obediently made way and walked to the side of the stage to wait patiently. Ai Tingya¡¯s body felt a little warmer when the two of them returned to the room. She grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s arm excitedly and said, ¡°Did you hear that? He said I¡¯m a good dancer!¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed very good.¡± Luo Feng praised from the bottom of his heart. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to be a celebrity?¡± Ai Tingya rolled her eyes and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to. Even though I earn a lot of money being a celebrity can and let everyone live a good life, the peak period of a celebrity is too short. Life is very long. We can¡¯t just look at the short 20 year span. Besides, do you know? The entertainment industry is a fame and fortune fair. If I don¡¯t find a backer, I¡¯ll definitely be bullied¡­ Besides, who knows if what he said is true?¡± ¡°I can promise you that he will definitely keep his promise.¡± Luo Feng said sincerely. Even though Yang Tianzhen was trying hard to please a small celebrity now, he would definitely be one of the best managers in the future with his potential. A manager with methods and foresight would definitely make everyone famous. It was even more convincing since he picked Ai Tingya. ¡°How do you know?¡± Ai Tingya was puzzled. ¡°I just know.¡± Luo Feng smiled mysteriously and pulled Ai Tingya, ¡°Tingya, I¡¯ll tell you all the good and bad things. You can choose your future path, but I hope you understand that I¡¯ll support you no matter what your choice is!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached after hearing Dean Du talk about Ai Tingya¡¯s dance experience. Luo Feng hopes that Ai Tingya won¡¯t have any regrets just because she¡¯s sensible now that there¡¯s another chance. Moreover, he would become her backer if Ai Tingya needed it! ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± Ai Tingya shook her head firmly. ¡°Even though I like to dance, I hope that my future will be more than dancing!¡± As expected of the girl he had chosen! Luo Feng pinched Ai Tingya¡¯s nose and pampered her. ¡°Then what do you hope to do in the future? Become a female CEO?¡± Ai Tingya, who was wearing a professional suit and high heels in his previous life, also looked flirtatious. ¡°The future is too far away. I¡¯m more interested in the present.¡± Ai Tingya raised her eyebrows proudly. ¡°As for the present¡­ I¡¯m not telling you!¡± What she didn¡¯t say was that she hoped to welcome the future with Luo Feng. ¡°Alright, smart and weird girl.¡± Luo Feng shrugged, thinking to himself. I know it even if you don¡¯t tell me. Ai Tingya giggled as she tugged at Luo Feng¡¯s sleeve and said coquettishly. ¡°Tell me honestly, how did I dance just now? Did I look good?¡± ¡°Even prettier than a fairy,¡± replied Luo Feng. ¡°You invited me to watch a good dance, I¡¯ll give you a gift in return.¡± Ai Tingya instinctively felt that Luo Feng was going to start spending money again upon hearing that he wanted to give her a gift. She quickly let it go and pretended that she didn¡¯t hear him. This way, she could prevent Luo Feng from buying things for her. Luo Feng was amused by her. He scanned his surroundings and realized that he didn¡¯t have a suitable instrument. ¡°There is nothing I can use for the melody so I¡¯ll sing a cappella for you.¡± He sat down against Ai Tingya and cleared his throat. ¡°My heart is empty. The sky is huge and the clouds are heavy. I¡¯m lonely, but I can¡¯t chase them away.¡± ¡°Carrying her name, her moods while moving forward. How long has it been?¡± ¡°There is only one treasure in a person¡¯s heart. After a long time, she will become my tears¡­¡± The corners of Ai Tingya¡¯s tiny mouth gradually fell, and her eyes shone with tears. ¡°The girl told me that I protected her dreams. She said that there weren¡¯t many people who treated her like that in this world.¡± ¡°She gradually forgot about me, but she didn¡¯t know that I, who was hurt all over, had never loved anyone else again.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s voice was low, as if he was telling his deepest secrets. It was silent outside the window, as if the only sound in the world was the two of them looking at each other and the sad song. ¡°The girl told me that I was a thief, stealing her memories and stuffing them into my head.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need freedom. I just want to carry her dream and walk forward step by step. The forever she has given me isn¡¯t heavy.¡± The song gradually died down, and Ai Tingya¡¯s face was already covered in tears. She had the illusion that Luo Feng had seen through her. The person in front of her understood her pain and weakness. He didn¡¯t feel any sympathy or pity for her, but he truly felt for her. Ai Tingya timidly wondered if she could take this song as a promise? Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Their eyes met in the simple changing room. Ai Tingya gently leaned on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder. Her soft hair scattered around Luo Feng¡¯s body, and the mint-flavored shampoo entered Luo Feng¡¯s nose. ¡°Do you like it?¡± Luo Feng asked softly. Ai Tingya nodded. She was extremely touched. No one had ever sung for her before. Luo Feng had really given her too much, so much that she didn¡¯t know how to repay him. ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Luo Feng laughed. Ai Tingya was finally happy after he practiced for a long time! Bang! The door of the changing room, which had been left ajar, suddenly burst open. The wooden door bounced back, blocked by a pile of soft flesh. Yang Tianzhen stood at the door with tears streaming down his face. Behind him was the shocked little-known celebrity, and behind them were Dean Du and Xiao Fei, who were gratified. It turned out that they did not continue with the gala. Instead, they hid at the door and eavesdropped. Even though there wasn¡¯t any gentle confession, they received a nice song. Yang Tianzhen wanted to hug Luo Feng¡¯s leg and drag him into the van. He tried his best to control his excitement. ¡°This song is so good! Is it your original song?¡± ¡°Have you heard it anywhere else?¡± Luo Feng proudly stole a glance at Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya¡¯s skin was thin, and her face would turn pink if she was a little shy. In the past, she would always hide to the side and be too embarrassed to show it to others. After listening to Luo Feng¡¯s song, she stood next to Luo Feng and hooked her little finger around Luo Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°Come with me. You two are a perfect couple. You can definitely sweep the entertainment industry together!¡± Yang Tianzhen panted excitedly. At this moment, Qiu Liang, who had followed behind said disdainfully, ¡°His amateurish voice is everywhere on the streets.¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t undergo professional singing training. He was trying to make Xing Miaomiao happy when he seriously thought about becoming a singer. There was a certain gap between his standards and professional singers. But what did it matter? Yang Tianzhen could tell that Luo Feng¡¯s foundation wasn¡¯t bad. It wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to beat Qiu Liang by a few streets with just a bit of training. The more important thing was his originality! Talent was talent. This was a gap that could not be made up for no matter how many teachers one had. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s expression darkened as he cursed. ¡°Shut up! Put away your ugly face!¡± Luo Feng was the only one who wasn¡¯t surprised by Yang Tianzhen¡¯s sudden change of attitude. He could already tell that Yang Tianzhen was a person with very strong motives. Serving celebrities was his job as a manager. He would even be willing to become Yang Tianzhen¡¯s grandson as long as he could complete his task. Therefore, he could tolerate Qiu Liang¡¯s arrogance. Even if he was dissatisfied with Qiu Liang¡¯s lip-syncing, he would still try his best not to let the negative news leak out. However, his tolerance for Qiu Liang ended here. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Qiu Liang¡¯s face flushed red. ¡°How dare you speak to me like that?!¡± Yang Tianzhen sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t forget who made you famous. You¡¯re an idiot who can¡¯t see reality. Do you think you can jump around without me?¡± Qiu Liang was speechless. Yang Tianzhen continued. ¡°Apologize now if you want to continue staying in the entertainment industry!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Qiu Liang gritted his teeth and struggled for a moment before losing. He lowered his head and said, ¡°Big Brother Yang, I was wrong. I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ll definitely work hard in the future.¡± ¡°Did I ask you to apologize to me?¡± Yang Tianzhen raised his eyes and glanced at him. ¡°Apologize to this student!¡± ¡°Student, I¡¯m sorry! I spoke without thinking! Please forgive me!¡± Qiu Liang bowed 90 degrees. After saying that, he stood at the side as quiet as a chicken, completely different from the arrogant celebrity on the stage. No wonder Yang Tianzhen¡¯s potential index is so high. His judgment is so sharp. However, I might have to disappoint him. Luo Feng thought to himself. ¡°Sorry, it¡¯s still too early for us to enter the entertainment industry.¡± Luo Feng directly rejected Ai Tingya¡¯s suggestion. Yang Tianzhen was not discouraged. He took a step back and said, ¡°Then can you sell the copyright of the song to me?¡± He raised his hand and pointed at the Qiu Liang beside him, wanting to get him to sing it. However, he felt that it was inappropriate and changed his words after thinking for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll get our company¡¯s most popular singer to sing it. Name your price!¡± His tone was very humble. Dean Du was secretly shocked. Xiao Ya actually had such a powerful classmate? Luo Feng saw how humble Yang Tianzhen was but his heart didn¡¯t waver at all, ¡°I¡¯ve already given this song to her, she¡¯s the owner of it, why don¡¯t you ask her?¡± ¡°Miss? Can you sell it to me?¡± Yang Tianzhen repeated. Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng in surprise. She didn¡¯t expect him to say that, so she was overjoyed. Luo Feng might have bought her a lot of things but this song was the best gift she ever received. Then, she looked at Dean Du, whose face was full of vicissitudes. Dean Du would be much more relaxed if she sold this song. Her conflicted heart was in a mess. Ai Tingya bit her lips and hesitated for a long time before saying slowly, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not selling.¡± Yang Tianzhen seemed to have a premonition. He smiled bitterly and said. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t force you. Come and find me anytime once you guys have thought it through!¡± After saying that, he looked at Qiu Liang in disdain. Qiu Liang, who brought in mediocre results, looked like a fish¡¯s eye no matter how he looked at it after he saw the real pearl. Yang Tianzhen was so frustrated that he wanted to go back and find a new person to start a new account and train again. The interlude quickly passed and the party continued. This time, Qiu Liang seemed to be very cooperative. He went on stage and sang three songs in a row. He smiled warmly and got along well with the children. He almost used up all his skills to beg Yang Tianzhen to take another look at him. Luo Feng had to admit that Qiu Liang¡¯s singing was pretty good. Luo Feng felt that he was much better than the singers with no talent in the future. Yang Tianzhen held his head in a daze and did not look at the stage from the beginning to the end, unfortunately. Luo Feng could understand Yang Tianzhen¡¯s depression. Qiu Liang¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t enough to support his character after all so his future development was limited. However, it¡¯s too troublesome to go back and find a newbie to train, and it¡¯s not easy to find one just like that. Luo Feng took the initiative to sit beside Yang Tian Zhen: ¡°Uncle Fatty, thank you for your praise today, we¡¯re all very grateful to you.¡± Yang Tianzhen smiled bitterly. ¡°Thank me? If you really want to thank me, just be my artist.¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°I definitely can¡¯t be an artist, but I can recommend a few people to you. Why don¡¯t you try looking for them?¡± ¡°Your classmate?¡± Yang Tianzhen sneered. ¡°It can¡¯t be that your entire class is filled with both beauty and skill, right?¡± Luo Feng subconsciously took out his phone and held it in his hand. Only then did he remember that this machine could only send text messages and make phone calls. Image function hasn¡¯t been developed yet. ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng shook his head and pinched his fingers, looking like a charlatan. ¡°There are two girls named Bingbing who will become popular female stars in your circle, you can go and find them.¡± ¡°Bingbing?¡± Yang Tianzhen frowned. ¡°This name is too common. Where can I find them?¡± ¡°I trust your eyesight. You¡¯ll understand when you see them.¡± Luo Feng smiled mysteriously. There will be two popular international female celebrities in the entertainment industry in the future. One of them might have made a mistake and fell from grace, but her beauty and ability could not be doubted. Yang Tianzhen stared at Luo Feng skeptically. This teenage boy actually had the aura of a strategist. For some reason, he believed him! ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll keep a lookout.¡± Yang Tianzhen licked his lips, feeling like he was being favored by the Gods. Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The orphanage¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve party ended smoothly. Yang Tianzhen said that the donation he promised would be in place in three days. He also asked Qiu Liang to drive Luo Feng to his house. Qiu Liang thought that Luo Feng and Yang Tianzhen had reached some sort of agreement and that Luo Feng¡¯s status was higher than his, so he kept putting in a good word for Luo Feng, hoping that Luo Feng would put in a good word for him and beg Yang Tianzhen not to abandon him. Luo Feng¡¯s words were perfunctory but Qiu Liang probably wouldn¡¯t be able to stay popular anymore if his memory served to be right. The house was quiet when he returned home. His parents were already asleep. Luo Feng quietly returned to his room and scrolled through the messages on his phone. There were a few more messages that said that he received a few more payments. The larger amounts were in the range of 10,000 yuan while the small ones were only a few hundred yuan. It seemed that investing was not only about money, but also about feelings and information. Giving Yang Tianzhen a little hint also gave him a return of a few thousand yuan. There was nearly 30,000 yuan in cash in the card, which was extremely reassuring for high school students. Luo Feng felt that his dreams that night were extremely sweet. The next morning, he rushed out and ran around the market after finishing his glutinous rice balls. It¡¯s the new year, so there aren¡¯t many shops that are open. Luo Feng had to go through a lot of trouble to find a bookstore that¡¯s open. He took the things to the orphanage after explaining the situation to the boss. ¡­ Dean Du cooked a large pot of glutinous rice balls for the orphanage early in the morning. She wanted to tidy up the courtyard after breakfast. The sensible Ai Tingya woke up early and was distributing glutinous rice balls with a spoon. Xiao Fei panted as she ran in from outside and cheered, ¡°Xiao Ya, Luo Feng is here!¡± Ai Tingya was secretly delighted, but remained calm on the surface, ¡°So be it. Let him come in and eat glutinous rice balls.¡± ¡°No!¡± Xiao Fei slapped away the spoon in her hand and dragged her out the door. ¡°He brought New Year¡¯s gifts, a van full of books! So many of them!¡± The two of them excitedly ran to the courtyard and saw Luo Feng counting the books. The children from the other orphanages were also helping. ¡°Luo Feng, what are you doing?¡± Ai Tingya was shocked. ¡°I saw that your library is bare, those books look like they are about to fall apart, I¡¯ll buy a few to fill the shelves.¡± Luo Feng said indifferently. Ai Tingya took a deep breath. These are a few books? Did you move the entire bookstore here?! ¡°Oh my god! Why are there still papers?¡± ¡°Throw it away!¡± ¡°Quick, bury it!¡± Luo Feng bought all the books suitable for teenagers from the bookstore. There were also a few test papers mixed in. The child who helped to move the books was quietly thrown into the grass, thinking that no one saw it, and Dean Du picked it up and saved it. Every child was happy to have new books. When the book count was almost done, Luo Feng took out his bank card and said, ¡°Boss, I¡¯ll pay by card.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a total of 25,000 yuan.¡± The bookstore owner said. Ai Tingya¡¯s bargaining gene jumped again. She squeezed between the two of them and said, ¡°Boss, we bought so many books. Give us a discount.¡± When the boss heard this, he chuckled and said, ¡°Young lady, you really know how to survive. I haven¡¯t finished speaking. Just give me 20,000 yuan for 25,000 yuan. I don¡¯t see any decent book shelves in your library. I¡¯ll get someone I know to make a few for you tomorrow. The money for the cabinets is also included in the 20,000 yuan. How about that?¡± Ai Tingya happily held the boss¡¯s hands and kept shaking them. ¡°Thank you, boss. You¡¯re really a good person!¡± What Luo Feng was most afraid of hearing was Ai Tingya bargaining. He lost 5,000 yuan in bargaining which meant 50,000 yuan in cash. Should he say that Ai Tingya was a spendthrift or a good saver? ¡°You¡¯re already helping me save money so early?¡± Luo Feng joked. ¡°I haven¡¯t said anything about you yet! Where did you get so much money?¡± Ai Tingya said angrily. Normally, Ai Tingya would treat Luo Feng¡¯s purchases as money from Mother Luo. It definitely wasn¡¯t what Luo Feng¡¯s family should have now that he paid 20,000 yuan directly. Luo Feng already knew this question would come up. He was still vexed about how to answer it, but he had a good reason to do so after last night. ¡°Last night, I introduced two people to Yang Tianzhen, and he gave me 30,000 yuan out of gratitude.¡± Luo Feng lied. Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°30,000 yuan? Is he that generous?¡± Luo Feng said half-truthfully. ¡°People in the entertainment industry can earn big money if they have the ability. This bit of money is nothing to him.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± Ai Tingya believed him and was immediately overwhelmed by emotions. The first thing Luo Feng did when he received the money was to buy books for the orphanage. He was really caring. She didn¡¯t choose the wrong person, he was really worth entrusting herself to! Ai Tingya happily hummed the song Luo Feng gave her thinking of this. At this time, Luo Feng had already swiped his card. The phone in his pocket vibrated twice. 200,000 yuan entered his bank account! The more he invested, the more he earned. This might be the joy of the snowball effect! Small-scale methods of earning money were no longer enough to satisfy Luo Feng. He suddenly wanted to earn even more money as a New Year¡¯s gift. ¡°You¡­ Stay here and help us tidy up the library.¡± Ai Tingya urged him to stay. This was the first time she made a request to Luo Feng, and also the first time she tried to get closer to him. Dean Du chuckled: ¡°Xiao Ya, Luo Feng helped a lot, how could you let him work?¡± Xiao Fei pouted in dissatisfaction beside them. She knew that Luo Feng was a good person and that Xiao Ya would definitely be happy if she were with him. However, she also felt a bit of unwillingness so her feelings towards Luo Feng were rather complicated. Hence, she muttered stubbornly, ¡°Don¡¯t even think of marrying our Xiao Ya with this small amount of betrothal gifts!¡± Ai Tingya was discussing with Dean Du on what to eat for lunch when Luo Feng happened to hear this. He turned to look at Xiao Fei who wasn¡¯t convinced. Xiao Fei noticed that Luo Feng was looking at her and blinked guiltily. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Luo Feng pinched his chin and said thoughtfully. ¡°This is indeed not enough.¡± Xiao Fei panicked hearing this. What¡¯s not enough? Isn¡¯t this enough? Bro, I was just mentioning it casually. Wouldn¡¯t Xiao Ya¡¯s heart bleed if you get anything more? Luo Feng also felt that buying some books wasn¡¯t enough. As the saying goes, wise up and strengthen your body. How could the orphanage not have a place to train their bodies? He had been negligent. He hurriedly took his leave and looked for the nearest engineering team phone number, getting to the boss directly. It was a good omen for business to come knocking on his door during the new year! The boss put down the melon seeds and candy and hurriedly gathered the workers on hand. When he heard that they were going to the orphanage to deliver warmth, he did not even have time to discuss the price before he carried his tools and went to the orphanage. The boss of the engineering team had a good impression of the caring young man who contacted him. ¡°Little brother, it¡¯s the new year and you¡¯re here to do charity work. You¡¯re promising! I¡¯ll give you a discount!¡± The boss of the engineering team said generously. ¡°There¡¯s no need!¡± Luo Feng quickly stopped them, ¡°It¡¯s hard on everyone to make a trip during the new year, so you definitely have to earn more money for the inconvenience.¡± He obtained the interest on the price he raised when he bought the sweater. This time, he wanted to raise it again to see if he could earn more! Chapter 20 - It Is Not Feasible To Play Tricks To Make Money Chapter 20 It Is Not Feasible To Play Tricks To Make Money ¡°Xiao Ya, Luo Feng¡¯s here again! But something¡¯s not right with him, hurry up and go take a look at the door.¡± Xiao Fei once again rushed in to inform Ai Tingya and dug her out of the library. Ai Tingya was confused. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened to him?¡± Xiao Fei replied as she ran along. ¡°He¡¯s become stupid!¡± Ai Tingya tilted her head. The more she listened, the more confused she became. Luo Feng was fine in the morning, so how did he become stupid in the afternoon? The two of them panted as they ran to the entrance of the orphanage. They saw a group of big brothers wearing safety helmets. The leader was a stocky man who looked troubled as he spoke to Luo Feng. Ai Tingya leaned closer to listen. ¡°Little brother, I¡¯ll give you a friendly price since you¡¯re so caring. Usually, a basketball court costs 44,000 yuan. I¡¯ll charge you 38,000 yuan today. The number is also auspicious. What do you think?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been hard on everyone to make a trip during the new year. I think the price can be¡­¡± ¡°Lower?¡± ¡°Higher!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s voice was loud and clear. Ai Tingya and the boss opened their mouths wide in disbelief. ¡°Uh¡­¡± The boss said unconfidently, ¡°How much higher?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not easy for everyone to earn money. I see so many workers. How about 66,000 yuan? Buy some new clothes and new year goods for their wives and children. Everyone will be happy!¡± The moment the boss heard the price, his eyes curved into crescents. He smiled and said politely, ¡°This¡­ This isn¡¯t good¡­¡± This was the first time he had seen someone bargain in the opposite direction throughout his career as a cement duster to having his own engineering team. The boss tried his best to restrain his expression, trying to look more reserved, but the muscles on his face could not help but rise. Luo Feng hoped that he would take more money and immediately gave him a solution. ¡°If you feel uneasy, you can help us cover the maintenance for two years and give us a few basketballs. How about that?¡± The extra money was enough to repair a smaller sized version, let alone two years of maintenance. ¡°Deal!¡± The boss held Luo Feng¡¯s hand as if he was holding a new year ball. This magical bargaining method also shocked Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei clenched her fingers as if she was praying and said in admiration. ¡°Xiao Ya, Luo Feng is like the domineering CEO in the novels. His family must be very rich!¡± Ai Tingya doubted herself. ¡°As far as I know, his parents are just ordinary working class.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the son of a tycoon who wandered into the common folks! He¡¯s been found recently!¡± Xiao Fei felt that Luo Feng¡¯s situation was very compatible with the male protagonist of the novel, and he was quite good looking. ¡°I¡¯ll ask him!¡± Ai Tingya rushed over to Luo Feng¡¯s side, ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s index finger pressed against Ai Tingya¡¯s lips, ¡°It¡¯s a sponsorship from Uncle Fatty.¡± Yang Tianzhen was a brick. He could be moved wherever he needed him to be. ¡°Really?¡± Ai Tingya was suspicious. ¡°How could he be so kind?¡± Luo Feng shrugged: ¡°I don¡¯t know, maybe he wants to do more good deeds, donating it to the orphanage is better than throwing it into the merit box.¡± Ai Tingya saw his cheeky expression and didn¡¯t quite believe what Luo Feng said. If it was really Yang Tianzhen who gave it to him, he would definitely take this opportunity to package his artists better. At this moment, a wail from the backyard interrupted Ai Tingya¡¯s train of thought. ¡°My green onions!¡± Dean Du ran from the backyard to the front yard. A basketball exercise court in the backyard meant that they would definitely have to occupy a portion of the vegetable field. It was a pity that the green onions that Dean Du had meticulously prepared were so tall that they eventually mixed in with the weeds. Ai Tingya pulled her back and told her the whole story. Even though Dean Du was happy, her benevolent smile was replaced by a rare serious expression: ¡°Luo Feng, thank you. However, I hope you can tell Mr. Yang that there are other people who need help, our orphanage can rely on ourselves.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Luo Feng was stunned. ¡°My children might have to suffer more than other children, but I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a bad thing. I believe that they will be more tenacious in the future and cultivate a never give up attitude after they experience all this.¡± Dean Du said seriously. Luo Feng understood. No wonder Ai Tingya was so sensible. It was definitely with Dean Du¡¯s teachings. He nodded in understanding and smiled. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll let him know.¡± The basketball court was in full swing. Luo Feng would go to the orphanage under the guise of checking out its progress everyday. He would think of ways to ask Ai Tingya out to visit the beauty salons and clothing stores one by one. This was because he had previously discovered that the return on the construction of the basketball court was only 380,000 yuan, which was only double the price quoted by the boss of the engineering team. It seemed that not every inflated price would succeed in giving him 10 times the interest. Since then, he could only take Ai Tingya out to spend more money and use the number of times to make up for the low price. Yang Tianzhen called Luo Feng during this period. Luo Feng clearly remembered that he didn¡¯t give him his contact number, so he didn¡¯t know how Yang Tianzhen obtained his number. Yang Tianzhen called and said that he had found two girls with the name ¡°Bingbing¡± in the Film Academy. One of them was surnamed Li, and the other had the surname Fan. He could only work with one person with his energy, but he wanted to ask Luo Feng which one he should work with seeing that both girls have great prospects. Luo Feng didn¡¯t give a clear answer, only praising Yang Tianzhen¡¯s foresight. Yang Tianzhen was really good, being able to zero in on these two targets with his ambiguous hint. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. In the end, Yang Tianzhen hesitated for a moment and decided on the girl with the surname Fan. Luo Feng didn¡¯t comment on it and started to flatter her. Unknowingly, a month of winter vacation passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya welcomed the last and most important semester of high school¡­ On the day of registration, in Class One of the Third Years. Xing Miaomiao held a comb and tidied her newly cut bangs. She was intoxicated by her own beauty in the mirror. A few classmates who passed by the door whistled at her and then laughed. ¡°Boring boys.¡± Xing Miaomiao put down the comb as if she was used to it. She was secretly happy. ¡°Miaomiao, your new hairstyle is so beautiful!¡± Her best friend in the front row turned around and praised her jealously. She would have wanted to cut thick bangs too if it weren¡¯t for the fact that she had so little hair. ¡°This is the most popular hairstyle nowadays. It requires a lot of care!¡± Xing Miaomiao raised the comb again. Her best friend was really envious of her exquisiteness: ¡°Luo Feng must be filled with regret when he sees how beautiful you are.¡± Smack! Xing Miaomiao slammed the comb on the table in dissatisfaction. ¡°Why did you mention him for no reason?¡± She got angry when she heard Luo Feng¡¯s name. In the past, he clearly wanted to be a bee that surrounded the flowers, but he started to turn a blind eye to her and hooked up with Ai Tingya instead since last semester! Every man is a scumbag, and Luo Feng is the one with the most unique taste! The more Xing Miaomiao thought about it, the angrier she got. She swore with three fingers, ¡°I was blind to have misjudged him. From now on, I¡¯m going to seal my heart and study hard! Let that b*stard Luo Feng go to hell!¡± Chapter 21 - Hey, Are You A Transfer Student? Chapter 21 Hey, Are You A Transfer Student? ¡°Good! As expected of our class belle! How ambitious!¡± Her best friend applauded cooperatively. The more Xing Miaomiao was praised, the more excited she became. ¡°I want to get into a good university, then Luo Feng will drop out of the rankings and be in a lousy job. I¡¯ll make him a toad who can¡¯t eat swan meat forever.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Her best friend chimed in hot-bloodedly. ¡°He still dares to date in his third year of high school. He¡¯s clearly courting death. It¡¯s a good opportunity for him to pull down Ai Tingya¡¯s results. Our sister group will be in the top few!¡± The two of them held a private Oath-Taking Rally[1] in an empty classroom, as if they could already see a good future for themselves. Xing Miaomiao jumped up in high spirits and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and ask the teacher for some study materials. I¡¯m going to finish five papers when I get back tonight!¡± Her best friend¡¯s blood boiled at her words, and they walked to the office arm in arm. At this moment, a handsome man walked towards them. Her best friend shook Xing Miaomiao¡¯s arm excitedly and said in a low voice, ¡°Miaomiao, look, there¡¯s a handsome man at eleven o¡¯clock! He¡¯s about 1.8 meters tall and has a sharp nose and thin lips. Oh my god! His skin is so fair!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true!¡± Xing Miaomiao took a deep breath. She was beautiful and knew how to dress up. She could modify her sack-like school uniform into curves, so almost all the handsome boys of the same age knew her. ¡°Why haven¡¯t I seen him before?¡± Xing Miaomiao quickly exchanged information with her best friend. Her best friend was also puzzled. ¡°Maybe he just transferred here. Why does he look a little familiar?¡± ¡°Aiya, good-looking people are all similar.¡± Xing Miaomiao flipped her hair elegantly. ¡°Watch me take him down!¡± Her best friend rolled her eyes silently. Who said that she had to study hard just now? She had lost her mind in such a short time. The two of them maintained their arm-in-arm posture and moved towards the handsome man. Just as they were about to brush past each other- ¡°Ouch!¡± Xing Miaomiao gasped and clutched her shoulder. ¡°It hurts!¡± ??? Luo Feng¡¯s head was full of question marks. You are the one who bumped into me, are you trying to pick a fight? He remembered that he had received several death glares from her when he had bypassed Xing Miaomiao last semester. She must have cursed him thousands of times in her heart. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Luo Feng said coldly. In Luo Feng¡¯s previous life, Xing Miaomiao ran away with his money when he was bedridden. Luo Feng didn¡¯t want to argue with her, and tried not to show his disgust on his face. ¡°It hurts.¡± Xing Miaomiao rubbed her shoulder pretentiously. ¡°Classmate, you bumped into me. Shouldn¡¯t you give me an explanation?¡± ¡°Classmate?¡± Luo Feng sneered. Did Xing Miaomiao take the wrong medicine? ¡°I need to go to the infirmary. Classmate, send me there.¡± Xing Miaomiao said sweetly. She was confident that no boy would reject her with her beauty. Luo Feng stared at Xing Miaomiao¡¯s shy face in surprise. He took a step back as if he had seen a ghost. After a while, he realized that she was trying to strike up a conversation with him. The physique pills Luo Feng took had already completed his transformation after a month of accumulation. He was handsome and tall now. Only people who interacted with him often, like his parents, would recognize him at first glance. ¡°The infirmary might not be able to treat you,¡± Luo Feng laughed. ¡°You should go to the ophthalmology department.¡± In the past two days, the novel about cold handsome men having sharp tongues was especially popular. Xing Miaomiao thought that she had picked up a treasure. She was not angry at all. ¡°If I can see you, it means that there¡¯s nothing wrong with my eyes. My name is Xing Miaomiao. Handsome, what¡¯s your name?¡± Luo Feng rolled his eyes at her and sneered. ¡°You should be very familiar with my name, right?¡± Xing Miaomiao¡¯s eyes widened. Could he be a famous person? No wonder she found him familiar. Luo Feng smiled as if he was looking at an idiot and said word by word. ¡°My name is Luo Feng. Do you remember now, Classmate Xing Miaomiao?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Xing Miaomiao and her best friend took a step back in panic. He really did seem to be Luo Feng! A rare handsome man had suddenly become someone she hated. She was actually trying to seduce him. How embarrassing! Xing Miaomiao¡¯s facial features scrunched up as if she had eaten a fly. Luo Feng coldly snorted and bypassed her like a pole. He went straight back to the classroom and found a familiar seat to sit down on. There were other classmates who filed in one after another in the classroom. They were all shocked to see him, especially Lei Jin, who was a lousy friend. The first thing he said when he saw Luo Feng was, ¡°Luo Feng! You changed your head!¡± Luo Feng glared at him and laughed, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have expected you to say anything nice.¡± Lei Jin sat down on his desk and curiously pinched Luo Feng¡¯s face. He clicked his tongue and praised. ¡°The doctor¡¯s skills are really good. There¡¯s no wound at all¡­ Could it be the nourishment of love? How far have you and Ai Tingya progressed?¡± His mind was filled with unspeakable things with a sleazy smile. Luo Feng started to play with him as he spoke. At this moment, Ai Tingya walked into the classroom. Her hair, which was originally used to cover her face, was gathered up and tied into a ponytail behind her head. She was wearing a purple sweater under her school uniform. Everyone in the class, with the exception of Luo Feng, was attracted to her as soon as she entered the classroom. Even Xing Miaomiao, who prided herself on her beauty, couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. The originally noisy classroom instantly fell silent. Ai Tingya was able to face Luo Feng¡¯s gaze calmly after a month of winter break. She sat next to Luo Feng nonchalantly, put down her bag, and asked. ¡°Why is everyone looking at me? Is there anything wrong with me?¡± Luo Feng smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. He was extremely proud of himself. Lei Jin said in surprise, ¡°Oh my god! The two of you are so comfortable with each other! Is it too late for me to find a girlfriend now?¡± Ai Tingya didn¡¯t understand what he meant and turned to look at Luo Feng questioningly. The other male students gasped in unison. She was too d*mn beautiful! Why hadn¡¯t they realized it before? Luo Feng smiled without saying anything and slapped Lei Jin¡¯s face: ¡°Go back to your seat, Teacher Yu is coming¡± His words seemed to be able to predict the future. The sound of high heels came from the corridor. Teacher Yu walked in with the lesson plan. She puffed out her chest proudly when she saw the orderly class. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a semester, but everyone has become sensible. Our class was the quietest along the way. The class monitor has done very well.¡± The class monitor lowered his head in shame, not wanting to say that all of this was thanks to Ai Tingya. Teacher Yu held the podium with both hands. The students knew that this was her standard posture for talking about important matters, so they propped themselves up. ¡°I¡¯ll make the long story short. This semester is the last semester for everyone. It¡¯s very important, so I¡¯ve decided¡­ The two students at the back, did you guys go to the wrong class?¡± Teacher Yu asked Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. This was a little awkward. After confirming that there were no such good-looking children in her class, Teacher Yu could not ignore their looks and changed the serious topic. Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Teacher Yu, I¡¯m Luo Feng and she¡¯s Ai Tingya.¡± [1] It is a rally to pledge their resolution before major events such as the college entrance exams. Chapter 22 - Lets Bet, You Have to Obey Chapter 22 Let¡¯s Bet, You Have to Obey Me If You Get First Place! ¡°Ah¡­ Oh¡­ Oh, I haven¡¯t seen you for the entire winter break. You guys have changed a lot.¡± Teacher Yu adjusted her glasses to hide her embarrassment. Children nowadays have so much nutrition. They really changed every day. She couldn¡¯t help but glance at them again, as if confirming again if they had ever been so good-looking in the past. ¡°Ahem!¡± Teacher Yu cleared her throat and said, ¡°Everyone knows that this semester is very important! First, we have to change seats. As you know, the school tradition is that everyone will sit alone in the last semester.¡± Originally, Luo Feng¡¯s class had two tables to one column. The third year students separated their tables in order to prevent them from being distracted. At this point, Teacher Yu gave Luo Feng a meaningful look. Luo Feng did well in the last semester¡¯s test. Teacher Yu secretly ranked him and realized that he was in the top five! This proved that this child could still be saved. In the past, his grades fluctuated up and down because he didn¡¯t put in the effort. She was going to transfer Luo Feng to the first few rows. He should be able to study well under the teacher¡¯s eyes during these last few months. As for Ai Tingya, she had requested to sit in the back. This child was sensible, obedient, and had a goal. Teacher Yu was very assured of her. ¡°Luo Feng, sit next to the podium, and¡­¡± ¡°Teacher Yu, Ai Tingya and I can study more seriously at the same table.¡± Luo Feng raised his hand. Teacher Yu squinted and said, ¡°Is that studying? I¡¯m too embarrassed to expose you. Do what I tell you to do.¡± ¡°I want to sit with Ai Ting Ya.¡± Luo Feng insisted. ¡°Eh-¡± The students in the class booed in unison, laughing at the sour smell of love. How could Teacher Yu not know what these children were thinking? She had heard some rumors last semester, but she did not take it to heart because she was too confident in Ai Tingya. ¡°Luo Feng, everything I¡¯ve arranged is for your own good! Please focus on your studies in the last semester! The entire class is sitting separately, but you¡¯re the only special one? Besides, Ai Tingya might not want to sit with you!¡± Teacher Yu suppressed her anger and said. Right at this time, a delicate voice came from beside Luo Feng. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m willing.¡± Ai Tingya replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. She wasn¡¯t ashamed to admit that she had feelings for Luo Feng. ¡°Ai Tingya?¡± Teacher Yu stared at the two of them in disbelief who were smiling at each other. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood! She originally thought that Ai Tingya wouldn¡¯t be affected by Luo Feng. However, who knew that not only did the number one in the class fall into his hands, she even enjoyed it! She even said ¡®I¡¯m willing¡¯? Was she taking her marriage oath here? ¡°Luo Feng! Come to my office after class!¡± Teacher Yu was prepared to start with the culprit! ¡°Oh my¨D¡± The other students burst into regretful laughter again. ¡°What are you laughing at! Sit properly!¡± Teacher Yu slammed the table angrily and squeezed out every word from between her teeth. The first class that reeked of gunpowder ended very unhappily. Teacher Yu¡¯s heels seemed to be able to spark a fire when she walked out of the classroom. Luo Feng followed under the worried or mocking gazes of his classmates. Lei Jin¡¯s voice came from behind: ¡°Luo Feng, I respect you as a man!¡± He put his hands in his pockets and didn¡¯t care much. When he was about to reach the teacher¡¯s office, he heard a bang from inside ¨C Teacher Yu was so angry that she threw a book! Then, the voices of other teachers sounded. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Teacher Yu? Did the students make you angry again?¡± ¡°Tell me, what are these children thinking now? It¡¯s the last semester! The last semester! Why do they have to fall in love at this time? Not only did he fall in love, he even dragged Ai Tingya down with him!¡± Teacher Yu roared. The teacher in the office next door poked his head out curiously. ¡°The top student in your class, Ai Tingya? No way. I think she¡¯s a sensible child.¡± Another teacher said in surprise. The school took special care of students with special family circumstances. In addition, Ai Tingya¡¯s results were outstanding. Basically, all the teachers had a good impression of her. ¡°Would I be so angry if it weren¡¯t for Ai Tingya? You didn¡¯t see it just now. They were unhappy when I changed their seats.¡± ¡°Then Teacher Yu, you have to take it seriously. I think Ai Tingya has a bright future. It would be a pity if it was delayed. Speaking of which, who is she dating?¡± ¡°Luo Feng!¡± ¡°Reporting!¡± Luo Feng knocked on the door and interrupted the two teachers. The principal¡¯s office would probably hear them if they continued shouting. He did not want to cause trouble for Ai Tingya. Teacher Yu sat down angrily and fanned herself with her hand. ¡°Come in.¡± Luo Feng stood in front of Teacher Yu and stared at her seriously. Good-looking people always had some privileges. The moment the other teacher saw Luo Feng¡¯s appearance, she took a deep breath and seemed to understand why Ai Tingya fell for him. Half of Teacher Yu¡¯s anger dissipated when she saw Luo Feng. She said earnestly. ¡°Luo Feng, I know you¡¯re a sensible child. You know about Ai Tingya¡¯s family situation. She can only study! If she fails the college entrance exam, the only thing waiting for her is to get married. You¡¯re her deskmate, so you should know better than me how difficult it is for her. Can you bear to do that to her?¡± Even though the student in front of her didn¡¯t have outstanding grades in the past, he was a sweet talker and active in doing things. He didn¡¯t cause any trouble for the class. Teacher Yu has a good impression of Luo Feng, so he should be able to understand the logic. Luo Feng said, ¡°Teacher, being with Ai Tingya won¡¯t affect my results. On the contrary, it will improve. Ai Tingya was tutoring with me last semester. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve seen my final results.¡± To be honest, Teacher Yu was a little surprised to see Luo Feng¡¯s results at the end of last semester. She would have suspected that Luo Feng cheated if she didn¡¯t know Luo Feng¡¯s character. However, a single examination result did not mean anything. Teacher Yu could not risk Ai Tingya. ¡°Do you know that Ai Tingya¡¯s tutoring will waste her time? I¡¯ll tutor you if you want to be tutored, okay?¡± Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s not Ai Tingya who¡¯s tutoring me, it¡¯s me tutoring her.¡± He was not lying. Under the catalysis of the pills, not only did he have a good memory, his comprehension ability was also outstanding. He could completely understand the contents of the new textbook after reading it once. He could revise the last lesson on his own when others were still studying the first lesson. ??? Teacher Yu was so angry that she laughed. ¡°What kind of joke is this? What kind of grades do you have? You¡¯re already so arrogant after getting good results once.¡± Luo Feng also smiled. ¡°Then why don¡¯t we make a bet? If I get first place in the class, Tingya and I will still be sitting at the same table. If not, I¡¯ll move to the side of the lecture table. How about that?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Teacher Yu slammed the table and stood up. Kids nowadays did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. They would only know how to restrain themselves when they smashed their feet. ¡°But you have to rely on your own ability! You¡¯re not allowed to cheat!¡± ¡°Deal!¡± Chapter 23 - The Examination Begins, Xing Miaomiaos Trick! Chapter 23 The Examination Begins, Xing Miaomiao¡¯s Trick! Luo Feng left the classroom with light footsteps after obtaining a satisfactory result. The other teacher watched him walk away before saying, ¡°Teacher Yu, are you alright? Why are you being led by the nose by a student? Are you the one lecturing him or is it the other way around?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll thank the gods if Luo Feng can really get first place. Last semester¡¯s end-of-semester questions were simple, and he couldn¡¯t even be ranked in the entire grade. Look at how proud he is now. I can use this opportunity to teach him a lesson. In the future, he should behave himself while sitting under my nose!¡± Teacher Yu said nonchalantly. ¡°But I don¡¯t think he¡¯s bragging. What if he really gets first place?¡± Another teacher said worriedly. Luo Feng exuded a rare sense of maturity as a student when he spoke just now. Even though it felt like Teacher Yu was lecturing him, in reality, he had the reins all the time. He had already explained the conditions of the bet, yet Teacher Yu was still completely unaware. ¡°Hehe, my class has one more person on the rankings if he really gets first place. What¡¯s there to be unhappy about?¡± Teacher Yu snorted. She would not lose out either way. She had nothing to lose even if she was led by the nose. ¡­ Luo Feng returned to the classroom and felt the gazes of his classmates as if they were looking at a hero. He actually came back in one piece? Didn¡¯t she skin him alive? Lei Jin happily ran over and sat on Ai Tingya¡¯s seat, asking him: ¡°Luo Feng, what did Teacher Yu say to you?¡± Luo Feng looked around and asked, ¡°Where did Tingya go?¡± ¡°The math teacher called her away the moment you left. She probably went to help tidy up the office.¡± Lei Jin quickly explained and asked, ¡°What did Teacher Yu say to you?¡± The other students also pricked up their ears to listen. Luo Feng said calmly, ¡°I suggested that I continue to sit at the same table as Tingya after getting first place. Teacher Yu agreed.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lei Jin opened his mouth wide and immediately said with pity, ¡°Brother, I heard that love makes people blind. Now I know that it is true by looking at you. First place, are you joking?¡± ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m joking?¡± Luo Feng said calmly. ¡°Alright, I got it¡± Lei Jin stood up and hugged Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Brother, I support you. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll treat you to sausages to support your love career!¡± Luo Feng looked at his watch. It was lunchtime. He thought that Ai Tingya must not have prepared lunch. ¡°Just nice. I¡¯ll buy some lunch for Tingya. Let¡¯s go to the convenience store beside the canteen.¡± ¡°Burp¡­¡± Someone burped, as if they had seen too much flirting around. The student who had been eavesdropping on the gossip did not expect to be stuffed with these lovey dovey sh*t. He awkwardly retracted his attention. Xing Miaomiao, who was also eavesdropping, stomped her feet in anger. In the past, she was the only one who could enjoy the treatment of being fed by Luo Feng. She even saved her living expenses and obtained enough money to operate on her double eyelids by doing this. Now, both her results and looks were inferior to Ai Tingya¡¯s! ¡°Luo Feng, just you wait. You definitely won¡¯t get first place!¡± Xing Miaomiao glared at Luo Feng and began to think about how to make things difficult for him. The news of Luo Feng and Teacher Yu¡¯s bet quickly spread throughout the entire third year. Ai Tingya was the last to know. She had been waiting in her seat ever since she came back from the office. What awaited her wasn¡¯t an explanation from Luo Feng, but a sumptuous lunch. Luo Feng bought a portion of braised beef, stir-fried lettuce, a small bowl of minced meat egg soup, and kelp soup. There was also a roasted sausage in the rice. He sat down with a smile and said. ¡°Lei Jin sponsored it as a friend. Hurry up and eat.¡± After a semester and a summer break, Ai Tingya was already used to Luo Feng¡¯s feeding and no longer shrink from it. She picked up her chopsticks and took two bites. Then, she said worriedly, ¡°I heard about the bet between you and Teacher Yu. Are you really confident in getting first place?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s grades were indeed improving at a godly speed, but boasting about it right after the start of school was worrying. ¡°It¡¯s just getting the first in the class. I¡¯ll still be able to get in even if it¡¯s for the top student of our year.¡± Luo Feng said sincerely without any hint of bragging. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t want to hurt Luo Feng, so she forced a smile and said, ¡°I heard from the math teacher that the first test will be in a week. You have to work harder these few days.¡± ¡°Yes Madam!¡± Luo Feng said confidently. A week passed very quickly. After the third year of high school entered the second half of the semester, any form of leisure and entertainment became an extravagant hope. Originally, they would rest for two days after five days of studying, but now, they would study for six and a half days and rest for half a day. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t even have time to tutor Luo Feng even if she wanted to. The agreed time had arrived in the blink of an eye. The students had never expected the exam to start as soon as they did now. Teacher Yu stepped on her standard high heels and slammed the thick test paper on the lecture table. ¡°This set of papers was set by me and the teacher from the next class. They¡¯re all questions that I usually talk about! It¡¯s very advantageous for you guys. Take the test well this time! I hope you didn¡¯t return the knowledge to me!¡± Teacher Yu¡¯s big eyes would become as sharp as an eagle¡¯s every time it was time for the exam. The students kept quiet out of fear and could not help but shiver as she shot her laser beams. ¡°Luo Feng, sit here!¡± Teacher Yu pointed at the first row. Luo Feng sat in the designated seat with a nonchalant expression. The only thing that bothered him was that Xing Miaomiao was only one classmate away from him. ¡°Proctor, please check the seal on the test paper.¡± ¡°Proctor, please distribute the test papers.¡± ¡°Please start answering the questions. The examination time is 120 minutes!¡± They broadcasted the exact instructions for the college entrance examination. Teacher Yu began to patrol the middle of the aisle with her hands behind her back. She was like a patrolling yaksha. Her small figure carried a powerful aura. The students on both sides did not dare to breathe loudly everywhere she walked. What was worse was that she would stop as she walked. The sound of her high heels stepping on the ground was too obvious, and they could accurately tell that she had stopped behind a boy. The boy did not dare to turn his head or touch his pen. He only felt a chill run down his spine. He felt that Teacher Yu was looking at his answer. ¡°Hmph.¡± Teacher Yu let out a long sigh and walked over in disappointment. The boy was so frightened that his heart was pounding. He started to check the answers he wrote before he finished writing the test paper. Xing Miaomiao smiled with this pressure. There was a black thermos on her table that could reflect the scene behind her with a 360 degrees view. She could tell how far away the teacher was from her even though it was not very clear. While Teacher Yu¡¯s back was facing her, she secretly took out a note from her pocket and looked straight at Luo Feng. She knew that her chances of winning would be unknown if she tried to use her lukewarm results to suppress Luo Feng. She might as well ¡°help¡± Luo Feng. The note in her hand was a gift prepared for Luo Feng! The answers were written all over it. Luo Feng, it¡¯s up to you whether you get caught or not! Chapter 24 - Dont Speak, I Predicted What You Would Do Chapter 24 Don¡¯t Speak, I Predicted What You Would Do Xing Miaomiao hid the paper ball in her palm. It was the size of a pearl and would definitely attract attention if it fell to the ground. Just as she was about to throw it when the hurried sound of high heels came from behind her, and the reflection in the thermos became bigger and bigger! Xing Miaomiao quickly tightened her grip on the paper ball and pretended that she was writing furiously. Teacher Yu swept past her angrily, making the students on both sides heave a sigh of relief. Xing Miaomiao carefully looked up and saw that Luo Feng had put down his pen and was looking at the ceiling with his legs crossed. Teacher Yu walked beside him and stopped. Even her peripheral vision emitted anger. She did not only care about her students¡¯ grades. Teacher Yu treated children with bad grades but good character equally and even taught them more patiently. The only students who had made her lose her patience were students with the wrong attitudes! The exam had only started for 20 minutes, but Luo Feng had already revealed his true colors. His sitting posture was frivolous, and he didn¡¯t blend into the serious atmosphere of the exam at all. Teacher Yu stood beside him and glared at him. Luo Feng didn¡¯t understand. Was it forbidden to be in a daze in the examination hall? Teacher Yu squeezed out a voice from between his teeth. ¡°Sit properly! There¡¯s a patrol leader watching!¡± Luo Feng helplessly sat up straight on his chair and stared blankly at the blackboard with his chin propped up. If it wasn¡¯t for the exam¡¯s rule that one could only hand up the paper during the last half an hour, Luo Feng would have already handed in his paper and gone out for a stroll. He shook the paper for Teacher Yu to take a good look seeing that she had no intention of leaving. He had already finished writing. He finished writing in half an hour? Even copying answers wouldn¡¯t be that fast. Teacher Yu continued, ¡°You have to check after you¡¯re gone writing¡­¡± ¡°I checked it twice.¡± Luo Feng said lightly. ¡°Hiss-¡± Teacher Yu was full of questions. She lowered her head and helped Luo Feng check the test papers. The more she read, the more her brows furrowed and relaxed. After reading half of it, she could not help but smile. Everything was right! Not only did Luo Feng get it right, he even used a rare solution to the big question! Teacher Yu could not help but flip the paper over. The two big questions at the back were a little beyond the examination syllabus. They needed new knowledge that the students had yet to learn. The purpose was to see how many children had studied new classes during the winter break. Luo Feng¡¯s blank space was filled to the brim. If it wasn¡¯t for the difference in the solution, Teacher Yu would have suspected that she had accidentally missed a question. ¡°¡­Don¡¯t be arrogant.¡± She forced out a reminder after holding it in for some time. Luo Feng raised his head and smiled. ¡°Thank you teacher for your guidance.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Teacher Yu patted Luo Feng¡¯s head lightly and continued to patrol with her hands behind her back. Xing Miaomiao, who was only one person away, heard their conversation clearly. She heard Luo Feng say that he had checked it twice, she then looked at Teacher Yu who couldn¡¯t help but smile. He did not look like he had been scolded. Xing Miaomiao¡¯s palms were sweating. She suddenly did not dare to frame him anymore. She had a feeling that she would shoot herself in the foot. She scolded herself for being a coward. She had retreated without doing anything. However, thinking from another perspective, if Luo Feng saw the note and got caught, the handwriting would definitely lead back to her. Even though she wrote with her left hand, her writing habits could still be discerned. Xing Miaomiao consoled herself that she didn¡¯t prepare enough this time. She would definitely teach Luo Feng a lesson next time! Hence, she silently stuffed the paper ball under her butt. At the same time, Ai Tingya also noticed Luo Feng. She knew that if Luo Feng wanted to get first place in the class, she would be the biggest obstacle¡­ She hoped that Luo Feng could win since she also wanted to continue being Luo Feng¡¯s deskmate. Being by Luo Feng¡¯s side made her feel extremely at ease. Ai Tingya had pre-studied a new class during the winter break and saw the purpose of the last two major questions. She didn¡¯t know if Luo Feng would be able to do it, Luo Feng would always drag her out to shop because during winter break. In other words¡­ if she wanted to help Luo Feng, she would have to give up on them. At the thought of this, Ai Tingya hastily wrote an answer in the blank space of the first big question. Then, she turned back and began to check. Luo Feng, this is all I can do. Immediately after, the two-day foundation test quickly ended. Luo Feng¡¯s performance in almost every exam was the same. He finished it within half an hour and handed in his paper half an hour in advance. Then, while the other students were packing up their stationery and complaining about how difficult the exam questions were, Luo Feng brought food back, chatted and laughed with Ai Tingya. Even though Ai Tingya looked like she had a lot on her mind, she was happy to see Luo Feng. The hearts of half of the boys in the classroom melted the moment she smiled. ¡°How can this question be wrong?!¡± ¡°Did this person listen to the class or not!¡± ¡°What kind of essay is this? Even a chicken¡¯s beak looks better than this!¡± ¡°The chemical formulas are all wrong. Where did the last bunch come from?¡± The teachers of the various subjects who were editing the papers were about to be broken by all kinds of strange answers in the classroom office. There was a nameless fire that could not be extinguished no matter how much chrysanthemum tea was poured down their throats. ¡°I¡¯m so angry. Still thinking about taking the college entrance examination at this level?¡± Teacher Yu slapped the book on the table speechlessly. One more look and her eyes would hurt. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t be angry. Teacher Yu, look at this paper. The answer is very good. The paper is also very clean!¡± The teacher beside her called out in surprise. ¡°Everyone, come and take a look too. I wonder which class this student is from.¡± It was rare for there to be such a high evaluation. Even teachers who did not teach mathematics leaned forward to take a look. ¡°It¡¯s really very good. There¡¯s no mark at all.¡± ¡°The handwriting doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s from our class. What a pity.¡± ¡°I want to remember this student¡¯s name. Let¡¯s have a sneak peak at who he is.¡± The mathematics teachers were discussing this perfect paper. Teacher Yu glanced at it and retreated to the back quietly. Fireworks exploded in her heart. Wasn¡¯t this Luo Feng¡¯s paper? She had already seen it once during the invigilation. She pretended the scenery. not to know as she looked at Then one of the teachers said in surprise: ¡°Luo Feng! He¡¯s from Teacher Yu¡¯s class!¡± All the teachers¡¯ attention shifted from the papers to Teacher Yu. They said enviously, ¡°Teacher Yu, why haven¡¯t I heard you mention such a good student in your class?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be thankful if our class¡¯s papers are half as good as Luo Feng¡¯s.¡¯ ¡°Teacher Yu, can you lend me your lesson plan? I also want to help the students in my class.¡± ¡°I only knew about Ai Tingya from your class in your class. Why haven¡¯t I heard of Luo Feng?¡± Teacher Yu¡¯s face had never been as bright as it was at that moment. There was an uncontrollable joy on her face. She pretended to be angry and said, ¡°Luo Feng? Don¡¯t mention him. He made a bet with me and said he wanted to get first place in order to sit with a girl. I thought he was bragging! Was that his paper? Did you see it wrong?¡± ¡°No!¡± A teacher handed over the original paper and opened the gap to reveal the name. Teacher Yu covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°Aiyo, I knew this kid had a lot of potential previously. He has finally exploded now.¡± Chapter 25 - Announcing The Results, Two Unexpected Results! Chapter 25 Announcing The Results, Two Unexpected Results! After the bet with Luo Feng, Teacher Yu told the other teachers to keep an eye on Luo Feng and tell her about his performance in the exam. It was definitely one¡¯s strength to do well in all six subjects even if one could fluke to do well in one subject. Therefore, the other teachers were so envious that they were about to drool. ¡°I have always known that Luo Feng was a smart kid. He¡¯s finally willing to focus on his studies.¡± Teacher Yu patted his chest with relief. Another teacher who witnessed the entire bet felt that something was wrong. Teacher Yu, that wasn¡¯t what you said previously! The other teachers said enviously, ¡°Teacher Yu, you¡¯re really something. If Luo Feng is in our class, I¡¯ll let him sit wherever he wants. It doesn¡¯t matter even if he wants to sit with me. I¡¯ll move my desk to the classroom.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this to motivate him? These children will never know how to work hard without some tricks.¡± Teacher Yu said proudly. The teachers could not help but applaud. They all felt that Teacher Yu had taught him well! ¡­ In another classroom. The students waited nervously for the results to be announced. Everyone felt that the questions this time were too difficult. It was barely possible to finish them in 120 minutes. The bell rang. The sound of Teacher Yu¡¯s signature high heels could be heard in the corridor. Every step was like an approaching Asura. Bang! The thick test paper was thrown on the desk. Teacher Yu said coldly with a straight face, ¡°This test has simply disappointed me to the extreme. You¡¯ve all gone crazy during vacation and returned me all the knowledge I¡¯ve given you! Someone even dared to score 15 points!¡± The students below the stage sat upright with their heads lowered, not daring to raise them. It was as if they would not be the one who scored 15 points as long as they did not meet the teacher¡¯s eyes. Teacher Yu walked around the podium with her hands behind her back. ¡°Especially for a few people! Leaving the big questions behind empty. Are you waiting for me to write them for you? Didn¡¯t I emphasize that you have to try your best to write some formulas even if you don¡¯t know how to do it! Didn¡¯t I teach you to figure out the teacher¡¯s intentions?¡± The students all looked at Luo Feng hearing her resentful tone. Everyone saw him hand in his paper half an hour in advance and ran out to buy food. It was a classic case of giving up everything. Previously, he had boasted that he would get first place in the exam. Now, he has lost a lot of face. ¡°It seems that everyone knows that I¡¯m talking about you, Ai Tingya!¡± Teacher Yu said sadly, ¡°What do you want me to think? Come up and get your paper. 92 marks!¡± A passing grade was a major failure for Ai Tingya, who was firmly in the top three. However, Ai Tingya did not feel sad. She only felt that she had let Teacher Yu down. She took the paper back and walked back. Luo Feng asked worriedly beside her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡± It was not a big deal if she did badly. He was only worried about Ai Tingya¡¯s condition. He reached out to take Ai Tingya¡¯s paper and wanted to help her sort out the wrong questions. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Ai Tingya quickly took the paper and stuffed it into her desk drawer, not allowing Luo Feng to look at it. Her pride wouldn¡¯t be able to take it if Luo Feng knew that he was going easy on him. She smiled brightly and said. ¡°It¡¯s alright, I just didn¡¯t do as well as I normally do.¡± The other students at the side also blushed when they saw this scene. Ai Tingya smiled like the most beautiful flower in spring. Anyone would want to admire her. At this moment, Teacher Yu, who was on stage, changed the topic. ¡°Also, a student improved a lot in this exam! Luo Feng scored full marks!¡± ¡°Not only that, but he is top in all subjects. Not only is he the first in our class, but he¡¯s also the first in the entire grade! Everyone, clap!¡± Whoosh! The class burst into applause immediately. The applause was like a tidal wave. Everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open, unable to believe that Luo Feng was actually a hidden expert! A smile finally appeared on Teacher Yu¡¯s serious face when the applause stopped. ¡°I¡¯ll paste the total score sheet next to the blackboard. Students, please learn from Luo Feng.¡± The students swarmed forward impatiently as soon as Teacher Yu pasted the form and made way. Their own results didn¡¯t matter anymore, how on earth did Luo Feng manage to get first place? ¡°You can even score 150 marks in Chinese? Can your essay be used as a template?¡± Logically speaking, it was rare for an essay to get full marks since one or two marks would be deducted no matter what. However, Luo Feng¡¯s writing was simply too invincible, and there was nothing wrong with its appeal, so he got a rare full score. ¡°Full marks for English!¡± ¡°Full marks for science!¡± ¡°Luo Feng is going to defy the heavens!¡± The exam this time was ridiculously difficult. The difference between the second place in the class and Luo Feng¡¯s total score was as much as 129 points, and this was under the condition that the second place got full marks in English! This seemed to confirm the old saying: The second place got 150 marks because he could only get 150 marks, while Luo Feng got 150 marks because there were only 150 marks on the test paper. The students were so shocked that they were speechless. They had never thought about how it felt to have a God-level top student by their side. However, Luo Feng felt that such a small matter wasn¡¯t worth mentioning. He pushed aside the students in front of him and searched for Ai Tingya¡¯s results. 29th¡­ Ai Tingya, who had always been in the top three, had actually fallen below the 25th place. That shouldn¡¯t be the case¡­ Luo Feng frowned and turned his head to look at Ai Tingya, who hadn¡¯t moved. She didn¡¯t seem to be surprised that she had dropped more than ten places. It was fine if she didn¡¯t perform well in one subject, but why were all of them hovering around the passing mark? He returned to Ai Tingya¡¯s side and wanted to talk to her, but he saw Ai Tingya¡¯s smile when he was about to speak, as if telling Luo Feng not to ask too much. He suddenly didn¡¯t know where to start. After the class meeting ended, Lei Jin wore a fawning smile as he squatted beside Luo Feng. ¡°My brother, will you still keep your promise of tutoring me?¡± Luo Feng vaguely remembered something from last semester and replied: ¡°Sure, when are you free?¡± ¡°How about your place after school?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. My mother asked Tingya to go to our house for dinner. Do you want to be a third wheel?¡± ¡°Ah! You¡¯re too fast! You¡¯re moving in together?¡± Lei Jin was even more shocked when he heard that Luo Feng was the top student in the entire year when he heard this news. He knew that there was no chance for him to make up for it, so he came up with another brilliant plan. ¡°If you can¡¯t tutor me, why don¡¯t you introduce me to someone? It¡¯s best if she¡¯s beautiful and has good grades! I also want to risk my life for someone! Perhaps my conception and governing vessels opened!¡± Lei Jin said yearningly. ¡°Haha, you have everything in a dream, why will be don¡¯t you be the third wheel then?¡± Luo Feng mercilessly attacked. ¡°You¡¯re not even willing to grant me passionate love? Are you still my brother?¡± Lei Jin stomped his feet. Luo Jin gave him a disdainful look. How should he make Lei Jin accept the difference in intelligence? It was reality even though it was cruel! ¡°Oh? You want to date too?¡± At some point in time, Teacher Yu had appeared behind Lei Jin like a ghost. She had a fake smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, looking very terrifying. Lei Jin broke out in cold sweat. ¡°I was joking!¡± With that, he ran out. Teacher Yu snorted. When could these children not make her worry? Then she turned to look at Luo Feng: ¡°Follow me to the office.¡± Chapter 26 - What Charm Do You Say Chapter 26 What Charm Do You Say You Have? Luo Feng followed Teacher Yu into the classroom office, but it didn¡¯t seem like she was going to reward him from her expression. Unlike the previous time, Teacher Yu pulled a chair for Luo Feng and urged him to sit before she sat down herself. ¡°Okay.¡± It looked like they were going to have a long talk. ¡°Have you eaten?¡± Teacher Yu asked. ¡°¡­I would have gone to eat if you hadn¡¯t called me.¡± Luo Feng answered mechanically. ¡°Oh¡­ Then I¡¯ll make it short then.¡± ¡°Go ahead, Teacher.¡± ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s your charm?¡± ??? Luo Feng frowned. You want me to tell you what kind of charm I have? Like a product description? ¡°Teacher Yu, what are you trying to say?¡± Luo Feng asked. Teacher Yu scrutinized Luo Feng for a moment, her eyes almost glued to Luo Feng¡¯s face. She nodded seriously and took out a few exam papers from the drawer, ¡°I borrowed them from the teachers of each subject. They¡¯re all Ai Tingya¡¯s papers. Take a good look at them.¡± Luo Feng felt like a parent. He picked up the paper and looked at it. Ai Tingya¡¯s handwriting was as good-looking as her. It was neat and tidy, and the surface of the paper could be seen at a glance. It was the kind that teachers liked the most. Unfortunately, the score was not high. Luo Feng flipped through it, and only then did he understand what Teacher Yu wanted him to look at- Ai Tingya didn¡¯t even finish the questions at the back. ¡°I guess Ai Tingya wanted you to get first place and deliberately left it empty. You probably don¡¯t know, but she didn¡¯t do the last four questions on the math paper. She¡¯s really generous.¡± Teacher Yu said sourly. Why did such a talented student have a brain full of love? Luo Feng didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn¡¯t expect that silly girl to have such a plan. ¡°Go back and tell her that I will keep my promise and let the two of you sit together, but tell her not to do this again. I was almost scared to death when I saw the scores.¡± Teacher Yu reminded him. She first obtained the scores from the teachers of each subject. Initially, she thought that she had lost by mistake. Later on, when she compared Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s scores, Teacher Yu was suspicious for a second¡ª Did they switch bodies¡­ Fortunately, the truth was revealed after looking at the test paper. Ai Tingya was still the same Ai Tingya. ¡°I got it, thank you for giving us your blessings.¡± Luo Feng still pretended to be obedient after getting the advantage. Teacher Yu glared at him. ¡°Alright, go back and eat.¡± Luo Feng happily left the office and coincidentally bumped into Ai Tingya, who was standing at the door. Her face was filled with worry. She relaxed a lot the moment she saw Luo Feng. ¡°I heard from Lei Jin that you were called away by Teacher Yu. What did she say to you?¡± Ai Tingya asked carefully. Luo Feng patted her head lovingly and slowly sighed. This girl was really worried every day. She could imagine countless possibilities when the teacher called him away. Luo Feng remembered the way Ai Tingya hid the papers and knew that she was thinking of him again. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Teacher Yu agreed to let us sit together and even asked me to supervise your studies. You¡¯ve regressed a little too much this time.¡± Luo Feng pampered her. Ai Tingya sniffed and said. ¡°I just occasionally make mistakes. I don¡¯t need your supervision.¡± Luo Feng had previously heard from Xiao Fei that Ai Tingya would read until one or two o¡¯clock in the morning during winter break. Her self-aware learning attitude was frightening. However, Luo Feng couldn¡¯t let go of anything, including Ai Tingya¡¯s studies. ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya along and decided to use his limited time to bring her out for a good meal. ¡­ After the night self-study ended, Luo Feng originally wanted to ask Ai Tingya to go to his home for supper, but Ai Tingya felt that she did too badly and was afraid that Mother Luo would be disappointed if she asked about it, so she rejected him. Luo Feng first sent her back to the orphanage, then returned to his own home. He had to make his parents happy for his good results. ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± Luo Feng opened the door and smelled the fragrance of dumplings. Mother Luo wrapped her arms around her waist and had yet to put down the spoon in her hand. ¡°The two of you came back at the right time. The dumplings that have just been cooked are Tingya¡¯s favorite pork and cabbage filling.¡± His biological mother called out to Ai Tingya first. Did he still have any status in the family? Luo Feng speechlessly threw his bag to the side and said, ¡°Where did Tingya come from? Your Tingya went home first. There is only your biological son here.¡± ¡°What? Didn¡¯t I ask you to bring Tingya home?¡± Mother Luo did not believe it. She craned her neck to look at the door. After confirming that there was only one person, she returned to the kitchen in disappointment. Luo Feng straddled the dining table, declaring his family status. Father Luo started to ease the awkwardness, ¡°Didn¡¯t you take the exam two days ago? The results should be out today, right? How did you do?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Luo Feng was busy eating dumplings. ¡°How so?¡± ¡°So-so, got first place.¡± Luo Feng mumbled while eating dumplings. Father Luo only heard ¡°first place¡± clearly, and his heart instantly rose to his throat. ¡°You said first place from the bottom?¡± ¡°From the front! The front!¡± Luo Feng took out a stack of papers from his bag. ¡°First in class. First in the entire grade.¡± Mother Luo ran out of the kitchen again upon hearing this. She held up the test paper as if she was checking money, identifying the authenticity one by one. ¡°Aiyoyo! It¡¯s true! Green smoke is really rising from our ancestors¡¯ graves!¡± Mother Luo spun around excitedly. ¡°Tingya is still the best. I finally see the effect after such a long period of tutoring.¡± Luo Feng squinted his eyes in dissatisfaction, ¡°Mother, isn¡¯t it possible that your son is working hard?¡± ¡°You wouldn¡¯t have worked hard if it¡¯s not for her. You must bring her back tomorrow. I want to thank her in person.¡± Madam Luo hugged the paper and walked around happily. She threw away the apron and prepared to leave, feeling unsatisfied. ¡°Were your Aunt Zhang and the others still dancing when you came back? I¡¯ll go out and dance for a while.¡± Seeing this, Father Luo quickly pulled his wife back and said, ¡°Who¡¯s still dancing outside at ten o¡¯clock? If you want to show off¡­ No, If you want to dance, wait until tomorrow.¡± Father Luo could tell what Mother Luo wanted to do with just her gaze being with her for so many years. She must have seen that her son had done well and wanted to go out and show off to her sisters. ¡°Look at my brains. I¡¯ll go tomorrow. I¡¯ll bring Tingya along tomorrow!¡± Mother Luo said happily. Luo Feng couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°Mom, did you pick me up from the trash can?¡± Mother Luo rolled her eyes at her son. ¡°Are you doubting my taste? I would have picked Tingya up instead of you. Why would I raise you up if you weren¡¯t my own?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve mentioned Tingya 800 times just now. Tingya must be sneezing non-stop.¡¯ ¡°Rascal, you¡¯re even criticizing your mother. you are today if it you Would be where weren¡¯t for Tingya? You must be secretly happy!¡± Mother Luo tapped dotingly on Luo Feng¡¯s forehead. This son of hers has really grown up. Not only did he find a good girl, he¡¯s also working hard to improve. At this rate, getting into a good university won¡¯t be a problem! ¡°Remember to learn more from Tingya.¡± She reminded him. ¡°¡­Okay.¡± Chapter 27 - Warming Your Hands, Not Letting You Take Advantage Chapter 27 Warming Your Hands, Not Letting You Take Advantage Luo Feng carried his bag and walked into the classroom early the next morning. He saw Ai Tingya sitting in the first row under the podium and Teacher Yu standing on the podium. Her face was full of smiles when she saw Luo Feng. She seemed to be saying, ¡°I mean what I say, but do you think I¡¯ll let you guys continue to sit at the back? Naive!¡± She directly moved their seats to the front. Theirs was the only two tables placed side by side in the class. The others seemed to be allergic to all their other classmates. Their desks were separated by an aisle. Luo Feng stuffed his bag into the drawer while Ai Tingya sat awkwardly in her seat. ¡°I¡¯m still in the first row.¡± She still felt imprisoned when she was constantly exposed to others¡¯ gaze even though she was no longer afraid of them. Luo Feng resisted. ¡°Teacher Yu, we can study hard no matter where we sit. It¡¯s easy for us to be short-sighted if we¡¯re too close. You should leave this precious position to your weaker classmates.¡± Teacher Yu snorted smugly. ¡°The two of you are now the focus of my protection. It¡¯s more convenient for everyone if you sit here.¡± I don¡¯t believe that you dare to flirt with each other under the teacher¡¯s nose. She thought. ¡°But my lungs would be filled with chalk dust.¡± Luo Feng opened his mouth and said. He didn¡¯t really like the first row. During the last exam, he kept hearing rustling sounds behind him, which made him very uncomfortable. The stronger their reaction, the more necessary it was for them to sit in the first row. Teacher Yu waved his hand. ¡°Students, you have to study hard after changing seats. Don¡¯t think about nonsense.¡± She left the classroom with light steps without waiting for Luo Feng to reply. The two of them looked at each other and smiled helplessly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this for now. You haven¡¯t had breakfast yet, right?¡± Ai Tingya pulled her chair out and asked with concern. Luo Feng took out a boiled egg from his pocket and handed it to her. ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten, but the porridge my mom made this morning was too watery. Eating it was like not eating it at all.¡± Ai Tingya took out a meat bun from her clothes and exchanged it for the boiled egg upon hearing this. ¡°This meat bun is very delicious. Eat it quickly.¡± Luo Feng looked at the steaming hot meat bun in his hand and sniffed it. It was indeed very fragrant, and Ai Tingya was afraid it would turn cold, so she put it inside her clothes. The bag still had the fragrance of lemon soap on it. Luo Feng was very familiar with the scent on Ai Tingya¡¯s body, so he could smell it immediately. ¡°Have you eaten?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve eaten.¡± Ai Tingya peeled the boiled egg seriously without looking at Luo Feng. Her small actions were too obvious. Ai Tingya really did not know how to lie. Luo Feng placed the meat bun on the table and stared at Ai Tingya¡¯s face until her face turned red. Ai Tingya turned her head away guiltily and said, ¡°How do you know that I haven¡¯t eaten?¡± ¡°Of course I know. You usually rely on steamed buns for three meals, but you¡¯re willing to eat meat buns for breakfast? Hurry up and eat this too!¡± Luo Feng said. Does she think I¡¯m an idiot? Luo Feng opened the package without any explanation and stuffed the meat bun into Ai Tingya¡¯s mouth. He then took the boiled egg, peeled it, and placed it on her other hand. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t dare to resist. She held the meat bun and took two bites. Her round, little squirrel eyes observing Luo Feng¡¯s every move. ¡°Next time, remember to buy it for yourself.¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t forget to nag. Ai Tingya and him had been together for so long, but Ai Tingya still hasn¡¯t learned how to take care of herself. What if he wasn¡¯t with her? Ai Tingya bit the meat bun and said. ¡°I am taking good care of myself.¡± ¡°You¡¯re taking care of yourself by eating steamed buns three times a day?¡± ¡°I¡­ I have to save money¡­¡± Luo Feng was confused: ¡°You can still save money even though you are in the orphanage?¡± ¡°Of course. The Dean will give us an allowance every year during the new year. In the past, I also went out to work part-time when my schoolwork wasn¡¯t heavy.¡± Ai Tingya immediately stood up and said proudly at the mention of this. Before entering high school, Ai Tingya would wash dishes or hand out flyers every week. She had done almost all the jobs that minors could do. Luo Feng felt his heart tighten. He joked, ¡°What do you want to do with the money you saved?¡± Ai Tingya thought for a moment and said, ¡°University tuition, living expenses, these all cost money. I also want to buy a washing machine for the orphanage, but this might have to wait until I start working.¡± She was too sensible and saw things too far ahead. Luo Feng found it hard to imagine a middle schooler worrying about college tuition fees, saving so much money that she would only eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables for three meals a day. She held back her desires to save as much money as she could. And yet this frugal Ai Tingya spent money to buy me a meat bun that she couldn¡¯t bear to eat herself¡­ Luo Feng grabbed a piece of bun skin and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn¡¯t want to let Ai Tingya down, so he repeatedly praised it. ¡°The bun skin dipped in gravy is the best. The bun you bought tastes really good.¡± Seeing this, Ai Tingya smiled even more happily than if she had eaten a meat bun herself. Luo Feng smiled slyly: ¡°But next time, you¡¯ll have to use your mouth to feed me.¡± ¡°Hey you!¡± Ai Tingya blushed and finished the remaining buns in two to three bites. Students filed in one after another while the two of them were chatting. They saw the two of them sitting at the front, caring for each other affectionately. In the end, they went to the corridor to take a walk helplessly, lest they became third wheels for the young couple here. The bell rang. The first class was Teacher Yu¡¯s math class. She stood on the podium and was able to see Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s actions with the slightest turn of her head. She didn¡¯t believe that the two of them were still in the mood to do anything with this scrutiny. ¡°Alright, everyone, take out yesterday¡¯s exercise book.¡± Teacher Yu took the chalk and officially started class. Luo Feng yawned in boredom. Putting aside the fact that he had learned this knowledge in his previous life, the things in his textbook were no longer difficult ever since he took the pill. Learning what he already knew made him feel like he was wasting his youth. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Ai Tingya needed to listen to class, he would have brought her out to play and see the world. His eyes wandered aimlessly around the classroom, looking at everything except the blackboard. At this moment, Ai Tingya looked a little strange. She shrunk her neck, and her taut facial muscles looked like she was about to break her molars. Her breathing was thin and broken, and the hand holding the pen was red, as if she had just been fished out of ice water. Her handwriting was crooked, and Ai Tingya was so anxious that she kept sniffing. ¡°Not feeling well?¡± Luo Feng asked softly. ¡°It¡¯s a little cold.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s voice trembled. ¡°I can¡¯t hold the pen well.¡± Spring was cold. The difference in temperature between day and night was huge even though the sun came out more often than winter. It was no different from winter in the mornings. Only then did Luo Feng realize that Ai Tingya was dressed inadequately. There was only a thin cotton shirt under her school uniform. He unzipped his jacket and took Ai Tingya¡¯s hand, letting her reach into his clothes for warmth. This was the fastest way to keep warm. Ai Tingya¡¯s face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out. She struggled twice, but Luo Feng was too strong and forced her hand down. She could no longer resist the warmth. She slowly opened her fist and pressed it against Luo Feng¡¯s tight waist. Chapter 28 - Someone Confessed to Ai Tingya! Chapter 28 Someone Confessed to Ai Tingya! It was already autumn when she got close to Luo Feng last semester. Everyone was wearing long sleeves. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t expect Luo Feng¡¯s figure to be so good. Her hands that were gradually warming up could feel the tight muscles on his waist. It seemed like she could even feel the defined shape of Luo Feng¡¯s muscles. She was suddenly curious about what Luo Feng looked like under his clothes. Ai Tingya mustered up her courage and slowly moved her hand under Luo Feng¡¯s clothes to his abdomen, unable to resist her curiosity. It felt like a chessboard. Ai Tingya pinched it in disbelief. ¡°Pfft.¡± Luo Feng laughed at the punch. This was a classroom after all. It was too outrageous to laugh out loud. He resisted the itch and pressed down on Ai Tingya¡¯s hand to warn her. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Ai Tingya felt that he was too interesting this way. He did not want her to move so she insisted on moving. Her slender fingers were like squirming little bugs as they wandered around the clear boundary of his abs. ¡°So you have abs.¡± Ai Tingya said mischievously. Her shyness did not stop her from causing trouble. Luo Feng had no choice but to use his eyes to warn Ai Tingya to behave, afraid that he would burst out laughing. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Ai Tingya found it extremely interesting. Luo Feng grabbed her hand and squeezed out a few words. ¡°Don¡¯t move! Otherwise, I¡¯ll touch you too!¡± Don¡¯t force me to be a hooligan! ¡°Haha.¡± Ai Tingya snickered. She squeezed the abs one last time and pulled her hand back. She held her warm hand, which still had Luo Feng¡¯s warmth on it. Warmth that was boiling in her chest. ¡°I¡¯ll teach you a lesson after class.¡± Luo Feng glared at Ai Tingya and raised his head to listen to the class. He coincidentally met Teacher Yu¡¯s speechless gaze. Young people nowadays really know how to enjoy life. Everywhere is a sweet garden, right? It doesn¡¯t matter if the teacher is up there or not, right? Do you think I can¡¯t see? Teacher Yu felt that she was a little redundant for the first time. She shouldn¡¯t be on the podium. She should be at eye level, that way she didn¡¯t have to see this sickly sweetness. For the first time, she regretted moving the two of them from the last row to the first row, implicating the students behind them. ¡°Luo Feng, come up here and solve this question. I¡¯ve just explained it.¡± Teacher Yu decided to teach Luo Feng a lesson. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be thinking about studying anymore. He must not have listened to the lecture when he was playing with Ai Tingya just now. ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Feng tidied up his clothes and walked up to the podium. He picked up a piece of chalk and quickly wrote down the steps for answering the questions. His movements were so fast that Teacher You almost couldn¡¯t react. Luo Feng threw the chalk back into the chalk slot when it was time to write the answer and said ¡°There¡¯s only simple multiplication left following the steps. I won¡¯t waste everyone¡¯s time.¡± With that, he stuffed his hands into his pockets and returned to his seat. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± Teacher Yu reacted for a while before remembering that she was the one teaching, ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s answer is very good, everyone should learn from him¡± She originally wanted to use this as an excuse to make Luo Feng restrain himself, but in the end, he managed to pull one over on her! The female students looked at Luo Feng¡¯s back in admiration, while the other male students rolled their eyes. Teacher, do you think we¡¯re blind? Learn from Luo Feng to hold hands with girls during class? Can we get good results by holding hands? The heavens are unfair! However, Luo Feng managed to get first place, so the students could only silently swallow their public display of affection. After all, this was fed to them by the top student. After the class ended, Teacher Yu looked at Luo Feng again. ¡°You two come with me to the office.¡± The two of them fell far behind Teacher Yu. ¡°Why is Teacher Yu looking for us? Is she trying to say that we shouldn¡¯t joke around in class?¡± Ai Tingya said uneasily. She was a good student who did not worry the teachers and had never been called to the office by a teacher to be educated. Luo Feng pursed his lips and said, ¡°You¡¯re the one making a scene, okay? Warming your hands and even tickling me. Lucky for us, I did not laugh out loud, so I can still argue later. Otherwise, it¡¯d really be considered as flirting.¡± ¡°Who are you talking about? Who¡¯s flirting with you?¡± Ai Tingya scolded jokingly. You can¡¯t blame your abs for being too charming! The two of them walked into the office and saw Teacher Yu drinking chrysanthemum tea. She felt that it was not enough and poured herself another cup when she saw the two of them enter. ¡°I called you here mainly because there¡¯s an Oath-Taking Rally next week. I¡¯ve decided to let you two speak as the student representative.¡± Teacher Yu carried herbal tea and said, ¡°You can go up to speak separately.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s exam results were so good that even the principal knew about it. Initially, Teacher Yu thought that it would be too hasty to use his performance on one examination to decide on this. She wanted to find a more stable classmate to go up. However, the principal felt that Luo Feng was a good example and asked for him to go up and speak. As for Ai Tingya, she had deliberately gotten the results this time but she was usually a sensible and obedient student, so there was nothing wrong with letting her go up. ¡°Go back and prepare your speech. Is there a problem?¡± Teacher Yu asked. Ai Tingya heaved a sigh of relief. She thought she was going to be scolded. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Hm. Luo Feng, you¡­¡± Teacher Yu was the most worried about Luo Feng. She took out a document from the drawer, ¡°There¡¯s a template for a speech here. If you don¡¯t know how to write it, just refer to it. Don¡¯t embarrass our class.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Luo Feng knew he didn¡¯t need it, but he still received it with both hands. After leaving the office, the two of them took advantage of the break to relax at the track. There were no other good pastimes on campus, so the two of them walked slowly around the track. Ai Tingya stretched and said, ¡°It¡¯s really uncomfortable sitting in the first row. I don¡¯t dare to move at all.¡± Luo Feng recalled how she was shivering from the cold just now. He took off his jacket and draped it over Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Thank you.¡± Ai Tingya was touched. The two of them walked forward in silence and sweetness. At this moment, a few boys ran over from the other side of the track. Halfway through, the boy in the lead retreated a little. He was pushed forward by the boys behind him to Ai Tingya. ¡°Classmate, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Ai Tingya tilted her head and asked. ¡°Classmate Ai Tingya, I like you!¡± The boy mustered his courage and shouted. Ai Tingya subconsciously took half a step back. The boy pursued relentlessly. ¡°I¡¯ve been paying attention to you for a long time. Be with ¡°But I don¡¯t like you.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s smile disappeared, leaving no room for him to fantasize. The boy didn¡¯t expect to be rejected so bluntly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to answer in a hurry. We can get to know each other¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need, classmate. I¡¯m in my third year of high school now. I¡¯m focused on my studies! I think you¡¯re in the same grade as me. Study hard. You¡¯ll have everything in university.¡± She lectured the other party sternly with a hint of anger on her face. The boy looked very sad and left with his friends dejectedly. Luo Feng stood at the side the entire time, acting like it had nothing to do with him. It had to be said that Ai Tingya¡¯s stern appearance was a little cute. It was completely different from when she was with him. Chapter 29 - Whats Your Relationship? Chapter 29 What¡¯s Your Relationship? Ever since the news that Luo Feng was going to go on stage as the representative of the students spread, some of the third year boys seemed to have received some kind of encouragement and would appear at the entrance of Class 1 from time to time. ¡°Ai Tingya, I like you. Be my girlfriend!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like you, thank you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll always be good to you. I¡¯ll do everything you say and will go anywhere you ask me to go!¡± ¡°Then please go back to your class.¡± ¡°You are my goddess, my Destiny!¡± ¡°Please go back and study!¡± Every day, a few groups of boys came to confess to Ai Tingya. The threshold of Class 1 was about to be trampled. No matter how good Ai Tingya¡¯s temper was, she could not stand it and hid out after class. At night, at the orphanage. Ai Tingya lay on the bed, exhausted, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Xiao Fei brought over a cup of hot water and placed it beside her. She said worriedly, ¡°If you¡¯re tired, go to bed early. Don¡¯t study anymore tonight.¡± Ai Tingya wiped her face in frustration and said, ¡°No! They wasted my time during the day. I have to work harder now to make up for it!¡± Halfway through the book, she rested her head on Xiao Fei¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Xiao Fei, what should I do? I¡¯ve already told them that I don¡¯t like them anymore, but they still keep bothering me.¡± Xiao Fei said, ¡°You¡¯re so pretty, it¡¯s normal for people to like you. Didn¡¯t Luo Feng speak up for you? Like ¡®she¡¯s my woman, please stay away from her!¡¯ or something like that?¡± Ai Tingya said helplessly, ¡°It¡¯s not like we¡¯re acting in a television drama. How can there be such embarrassing lines?¡± ¡°Then Luo Feng didn¡¯t even say anything as your boyfriend?¡± Xiao Fei covered her mouth in disbelief. ¡°¡­ He¡­ Isn¡¯t my boyfriend yet¡­¡± Ai Tingya whispered. ¡°Huh? He didn¡¯t confess to you?¡± Xiao Fei was surprised. Ai Tingya shook her head and said nothing. Xiao Fei had always thought that they were dating. They had met the parents of both parties after all. In the end, they had not even confirmed the most basic relationship? No wonder the boys in the school felt that they had a chance. She grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder and said seriously, ¡°Xiao Ya, this won¡¯t do. With my many years of reading novels, Luo Feng¡¯s presence is much more useful than yours when you are being pestered.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Ai Tingya didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Of course!¡± Xiao Fei affirmed, ¡°Think about it, if everyone knew that you¡¯re Luo Feng¡¯s woman, they¡¯d only go to Luo Feng if they wanted to snatch you, not harass you! You and Luo Feng are still lacking confirmation in your status!¡± Xiao Fei¡¯s words brought Ai Tingya to her senses. Luo Feng didn¡¯t expressly say that he wanted her to be with him even though she was very close to Luo Feng and they looked no different from a normal couple. Thinking about it carefully, Mother Luo¡¯s words were more direct than Luo Feng¡¯s. ¡°I like him. He likes me. Isn¡¯t that enough?¡± Ai Tingya asked Xiao Fei for help. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t tell you, how do you know that he likes you?¡± Xiao Fei was shocked. Countless plots from the novels appeared in her mind. ¡°If one day he turns around and has a good relationship with another girl, what identity will you use to question him, girlfriend or classmate?¡± ¡°Luo Feng isn¡¯t that kind of person,¡± Ai Tingya retorted. She could clearly feel that Luo Feng liked her, which was different from how Luo Feng treated Xing Miaomiao. ¡°My silly Xiao Ya, a relationship without a confession is incomplete! If you like someone, you have to express it. Otherwise, why would humans have a mouth? Based on my many years of reading novels, many of the misunderstandings between the male and female protagonists were because their relationship was not clear, which gave the vicious female protagonist a chance¡­¡± Xiao Fei eloquently recounted the love experiences she had summarized from romance novels, but Ai Tingya no longer listened. Indeed, Luo Feng only watched from the sidelines, making her heart feel empty when those boys confessed to her. After Xiao Fei¡¯s guidance, she finally understood why there was a gap. She quickly took out the prepared speech. She wanted to confess to Luo Feng! Let him know that she really likes him! Let the whole school know! ¡­ Monday. Luo Feng walked into the classroom as the bell rang and saw a boy from another class running out. It did not take much to know that it was definitely someone who had come to confess to Ai Tingya. He walked to his seat and saw Ai Tingya holding a love letter in distress. There was a big heart on the cover. ¡°Your love letter is like a novel, constantly being updated.¡± joked Luo Feng. Ai Tingya smirked and said, ¡°Take a look at your own drawer.¡± Luo Feng reached out and touched it. A familiar feeling told him that his ¡°novel¡± had also been updated. There were also love letters with big hearts drawn on them, and there were five of them waiting for him in the morning. ¡°Sigh, I have to think of a way to solve this.¡± Luo Feng was troubled. If he was in his previous life, he would have been overjoyed to be loved by so many girls. Unfortunately, he was no longer that impetuous person. Luo Feng only wanted to earn money, specifically by investing in Ai Tingya. He shifted his gaze to Ai Tingya at the thought of this. He could clearly feel her gaze drifting away. ¡°Why are you dodging¡­¡± ¡°Please gather at the field to prepare for the flag-raising ceremony. Please gather at the field to prepare for the flag-raising ceremony. The broadcast interrupted Luo Feng¡¯s question, and Ai Tingya flew out of the classroom like a breeze. Luo Feng slowly fell behind his classmates and coincidentally bumped into Teacher Yu. ¡°Is the script ready?¡± Teacher Yu crossed her arms and asked in a rather serious tone. ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°Show me.¡± ¡°Teacher, you don¡¯t trust me anymore?¡± Luo Feng took out his balled up paper. What was Teacher Yu thinking? Teacher Yu snatched the script and opened it with heartache. She nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°The Oath-Taking Rally is such an important event. Of course, I have to help you look out for it. Who knows what you will say in front of the entire school?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s to raise morale¡± Luo Feng said matter-of-factly, ¡°Or do you think I¡¯m going to confess in front of everyone? Teacher Yu, I know my place.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Teacher Yu seemed to have heard a joke. ¡°Who knows? I wouldn¡¯t have been watching you all the time if you were half as reliable as Ai Tingya.¡± ¡°I know, I know. Thank you for your careful guidance.¡± Ai Tingya, who was standing not far away, heard every Teacher Yu. word of Luo Feng¡¯s chat with When she heard ¡°confess in front of everyone¡±, her grip on the script tightened. What if Teacher Yu wanted to check on her script too? She would definitely be angered to death when she sees this, but she decided that she didn¡¯t want to back down anymore. It¡¯s always been Luo Feng getting close to her. This time, she has to show her courage. How else would she be fit to be with Luo Feng! ¡°Ai Tingya.¡± Suddenly, Teacher Yu called out to her. Ai Tingya squeezed the script until it was deformed, her heart pounding non-stop. Chapter 30 - Ai Tingyas Confession Chapter 30 Ai Tingya¡¯s Confession! Teacher Yu walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side and looked at the deformed speech script. ¡°Relax, don¡¯t be nervous. Just treat the people below as cabbages.¡± Teacher Yu patted her shoulder and comforted her. ¡°Okay, teacher.¡± Ai Tingya squeezed out a smile. ¡°You can do it! I look forward to your performance!¡± Teacher Yu made a pep talk gesture and walked to the end of the line. Ai Tingya heaved a sigh of relief. Great, she had almost been discovered. Everyone in the entire school lined up on the field in order. The flag-raising ceremony and the third-year Oath-Taking Rally were held together. The third-year students naturally stood under the platform. The Principal vacated the stage after he finished speaking. ¡°Next, let¡¯s invite Ai Tingya of Year three Class 1 to speak as the student representative!¡± The student emcee said. Ai Tingya took a deep breath and walked up to the rostrum with firm footsteps. The school leaders sat two meters behind her. They would have a row of stools and sit there every time there was an important meeting. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Ai Tingya from Class 1. The theme of my speech today is- Confidence.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s clear voice spread throughout the campus. The students, who were originally sleepy from the principal¡¯s clich¨¦s, perked up a little when they saw a beautiful girl. They still heard clich¨¦s. ¡°First and second-year students have to attend this Oath-Taking Rally even though it is for the third year students. They repeat those words over and over again every year. ¡°Can you let us go back to sleep? I¡¯m really tired¡­¡± ¡°How boring. Outstanding students are indeed the same. They more or less have a pedantic smell.¡± ¡°So pretty without a soul. Where¡¯s the interesting soul?¡± The more bored the students were, the more satisfied the teachers were. Teacher Yu nodded in praise and said to Luo Feng beside her, ¡°Look at the theme Ai Tingya chose. It fits the situation of the third year of high school. No matter how difficult it is, you have to believe in yourself. Just bury your head and charge forward. Learn more from her.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes¡± Luo Feng¡¯s ears were starting to get calluses. His mother said the same. ¡°If you do well, don¡¯t be arrogant. If you do badly, don¡¯t be discouraged. Be confident that everything will be fine.¡± Teacher Yu was extremely satisfied with this theme. She liked Ai Tingya no matter how she looked at her. Ai Tingya was not disturbed by the whispers below and took a deep breath on the stage. ¡°Once, I felt like a flower petal that had fallen into the soil. The heavy weight of life ruthlessly rolled over me, pressing me down until I couldn¡¯t raise my head.¡± ¡°In the past, I felt very inferior. I lowered my head when I walked and never dared to look anyone in the eye. I didn¡¯t have any friends in school because I wasn¡¯t good at socializing. I was alone no matter where I went. I could only study all day and make myself look busy. I thought that I wouldn¡¯t have to envy others this way. ¡°But my inferiority complex is like an inflated armor. The more I want to whitewash it, the more the armor restricts me.¡± The students below the stage were all moved. Someone as beautiful as Ai Tingya was actually unable to extricate herself from her inferiority complex, let alone ordinary students. It was as if they were the ones mentioned in the speech. The students of Class 1 also felt embarrassed. They wished they could rush up and be friends with Ai Tingya now. Teacher Yu nodded in satisfaction seeing the students reflecting. ¡°Teacher Yu, your class¡¯s Ai Tingya is indeed different.¡± At this moment, a man with a big belly walked to Teacher Yu¡¯s side with his hands behind his back. He pointed at the stage and said. ¡°I remember that Ai Tingya was always in the top few in your class for the exam. She only performed poorly once. You have to encourage her. Also, pay attention to the environment of your class. Don¡¯t let anything other than studying affect the child¡¯s physical and mental development.¡± ¡°Alright, Vice Principal Liu. I¡¯ll definitely talk to them about it.¡± Teacher Yu said humbly. Vice Principal Liu was famous for cherishing talents in the school. When he heard that Ai Tingya did not have any friends, he was worried that the learning environment would affect Ai Tingya¡¯s results, so he specially came over to remind her. If the conditions allowed, he could even assign a few people to be friends with Ai Tingya. Everything was fine as long as it did not affect their results. ¡°I used to think that my world was only black and white, and that my life would be like my orphanage. The word ¡®alone¡¯ would last forever.¡± ¡°Until someone appeared in my life¡­¡± According to tradition, the name of an elder should appear at this time, or the teacher who reviewed the manuscript would insert the name of a leader in school to promote the school¡¯s image. Anyway, not many people knew what was going on. Teacher Yu was overjoyed hearing this. She usually took good care of Ai Tingya and kept all the subsidies for her after all. Could it be that Ai Tingya suddenly wanted to give her a surprise? ¡°I want to thank that person, thank you Luo Feng, thank you for allowing me to see more colors in life!¡± The third-year students were in an uproar as soon as the name was spoken. Teacher Yu felt as if she had fallen from the sky to the ground. Then, her mind went numb, and she did not dare to look at Vice Principal Liu¡¯s expression. Ai Tingya continued. ¡°Thank you, Luo Feng. Thank you for seeing me in the crowd!¡± Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her gaze was like a fluttering butterfly, accurately landing on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder in the crowd. The two of them looked at each other. He still felt that Ai Tingya¡¯s beauty was shocking even though he had seen it countless times. She was so beautiful that he couldn¡¯t take his eyes off her. Unknowingly, his girl had become confident and brave. She could already express herself boldly in front of so many people. Everyone in the third year had already heard of Luo Feng¡¯s name. They might only meet a genius who scored full marks in all subjects once in their lives. Everyone looked at Class 1, wanting to see what kind of face Luo Feng had on. Class 1 stared at Luo Feng as if they had seen a ghost. Lei Jin gritted his teeth in envy. At this moment, Teacher Yu felt that something was wrong. Her face was covered in sweat as she said to Luo Feng: ¡°I think she should be more than just thanking you for your help in your studies¡­¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t answer. His entire focus was on Ai Tingya. Vice Principal Liu, who was standing on the other side, had a dark expression, as if he could carry the guillotine out in the next second. ¡°Please, Ai Tingya, I still want to live for two more years.¡± Teacher Yu would never have thought that Ai Tingya would mess around. She kept praying in her heart, hoping that Ai Tingya would stop. Unfortunately, Ai Tingya only had eyes for Luo Feng and couldn¡¯t hear the other people¡¯s inner monologues. She put down the script and said to Luo Feng affectionately: ¡°Thank you Luo Feng, thank you for making me more confident, letting me know that I¡¯m also worthy of being liked, thus making me a better person¡± ¡°In the past, I felt so inferior that I didn¡¯t dare to say it out loud. Today, I want to tell you that I like you. I like you very, very much. It won¡¯t change with time and will be for eternity!¡± The students below the stage fell silent for a moment after she was done before erupting with earth-shattering cheers and applause! Chapter 31 - What I Need to Cherish Most Now Is Time! Chapter 31 What I Need to Cherish Most Now Is Time! ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯m going to cry! This is the most touching confession I¡¯ve ever heard!¡± ¡°This is the Oath-Taking Rally if I remember correctly. Forget it, who cares. Ai Tingya, we¡¯ll support you. Be happy with Luo Feng!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so awesome. I want to become better for the person I love!¡± ¡°Boohoo, it¡¯s not easy. I want to be good friends with her!¡± The entire school was extremely excited. They were happier than if they were the ones being confessed to. On the other hand, the students of Class 1 who were most familiar with Ai Tingya widened their eyes in shock, as if it was their first time meeting her. Lei Jin rubbed his teeth in envy. ¡°I also want to fall in love with a wife who¡¯s as awesome as Ai Tingya!¡± Teacher Yu¡¯s entire body turned cold just as the students¡¯ blood was boiling. She felt that her teaching career was coming to an end. ¡°Vice Principal Liu, this, I can explain¡­¡± Teacher Yu said submissively. Deputy Liu smiled sinisterly and gritted his teeth. ¡°I know that Teacher Yu is eloquent, but it¡¯s impossible for you to turn black into white. It¡¯s better for you to save your class¡¯s outstanding students and explain to them in front of the entire school¡¯s teachers and students!¡± Teacher Yu was on the brink of tears. How could she have expected such a situation? ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I¡¯ll definitely reflect on myself. I¡¯ll definitely criticize her when she comes down.¡± ¡°Do you think self-reflection is enough? Look at the students. Can they still focus on their studies? They will think about love every day. Hurry up and get another student to turn the situation around!¡± Vice Principal Liu said seriously. ¡°Oh¡­ Hmm¡­¡± Teacher Yu didn¡¯t have time to react, so she followed Vice Principal Liu¡¯s words and urged Luo Feng, ¡°Hurry up and go up, share the learning method¡± When Vice Principal Liu saw Luo Feng, he felt a bit better: ¡°That¡¯s right! Try to make the students fall in love with studies. You look like a steady person, don¡¯t disappoint the teacher.¡± Teacher Yu realized too late that sending Luo Feng up would cause even more trouble! However, she could only watch as Luo Feng walked onto the rostrum. Luo Feng went up from the left while Ai Tingya hurriedly left from the right. This girl had just confessed in an imposing manner. Why was she afraid now that he was here? Luo Feng stood on the stage and introduced himself: ¡°Hello everyone, my name is Luo Feng.¡± The faces of the leaders behind him were blank. One could even hear an obvious intake of breath below the stage. Vice Principal Liu felt like he couldn¡¯t wrap his head around it and asked. ¡°Teacher Yu, what did he just say? He said his name was Luo Feng, where have I heard this name before?¡± ¡°The person Ai Tingya confessed to is Luo Feng¡­¡± Teacher Yu answered honestly. ??? When Vice Principal Liu heard this name, he almost fainted. This year¡¯s Oath-Taking Rally would really become the biggest joke since the establishment of the school! ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?!¡± ¡°I¡­ You called him up before I could react, I¡­¡± Teacher Yu felt wronged. ¡°He will talk about learning methods, right? Tell me he will talk about learning methods?!¡± Vice Principal Liu growled in a low voice. || I¡­ I think so¡­¡± ¡­ The two of them were sweating as they nervously looked at Luo Feng on the stage. Luo Feng smiled and said unhurriedly: ¡°Today¡¯s theme of my speech is¡­ Cherish.¡± ¡°I once had a long dream. I dreamed that my parents had died early and I was plagued by illness. I was lying in bed at the age of 30 and couldn¡¯t move. That dream was extremely real. It was so real that my internal organs hurt when I woke up.¡± ¡°In my dream, I was extremely regretful. I regretted not being filial to my parents when they were still alive. I was filled with regret on how I had an incurable illness. I used to blame the heavens and everyone around me. I hated the unfairness of the heavens and the cruelty of the world.¡± ¡°Fortunately, I woke up from my dream. Everything is still the same before the nightmare. The things that I need to cherish still exist.¡± At this point, Luo Feng¡¯s gaze passed Xing Miaomiao and landed on Ai Tingya, who was at the back of the line. ¡°I think the thing I should cherish right now is- Time.¡± Luo Feng purposely dragged his words, causing the crowd to boo. ¡°You scumbag!¡± One of the girls below shouted, eager to defend Ai Tingya. In the eyes of girls, it was indeed too much to ask a girl to confess in public to a boy who did not respond directly. Luo Feng didn¡¯t mind and continued, ¡°Youth is fleeting. There are only a few months left until the third year of high school. We should seize the remaining time to study hard and get into the university that we like. At least I haven¡¯t changed my mind yet.¡± When Ai Tingya heard this, she lowered her head in disappointment. She had been too rash and childish just now. When the girls in the class saw him like this, their hearts ached as they surrounded her and chatted with her to comfort her. Luo Feng continued. ¡°As for my girl, I hope you can wait for me! I¡¯m still useless. I have nothing else other than getting first place in the entire grade.¡± ¡°But I won¡¯t keep you waiting for long as a man.¡± ¡°After the college entrance examination, I¡¯ll stand in front of you with the top scholar¡¯s certificate and acceptance letter. I hope that you¡¯ll allow me to accompany you for the rest of your life, so please cherish your time too. Let¡¯s hold hands and walk into the university campus together!¡± Ai Tingya covered her mouth and was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes below the stage. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± She mouthed silently. ¡°Well said! Everyone must learn from Student Luo Feng and focus on learning!¡± The leader on the stage was the first to stand up and applaud.The Oath-Taking Rally finally looked like it. He had to stop him from talking. He did not know what shocking words he would say if he continued. ¡°Good job, brother!¡± ¡°A real responsible man!¡± ¡°My blood is boiling now. Let me go back and study now!¡± The students waved their hands and shouted their goals, for love, for family, and for themselves. Teacher Yu, who was also a female, was moved to the point of speechlessness. However, she couldn¡¯t agree with Luo Feng¡¯s words with Vice Principal Liu standing beside her. ¡°Unbelievable, simply unbelievable! Vice Principal Liu, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely criticize them!¡± ¡°Criticize? Criticize who?¡± Vice Principal Liu asked in confusion. ¡°Hmm¡­ Them for disrupting the Oath-Taking Rally?¡± Teacher Yu asked tentatively. Vice Principal Liu raised his head and laughed unexpectedly. He waved his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no disruption. Look at how enthusiastic the students are. They¡¯ve all a clear target. This is much more useful found than big, empty words.¡± Teacher Yu smiled apologetically: ¡°You¡¯re right! Look at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡­ The two of them¡­¡± ¡°The students are at the most crucial moment of their breakthrough. Don¡¯t let some insignificant things affect their state of mind. Moreover, they¡¯ve already said that they will get together after the college entrance examination. I believe Luo Feng will keep his word.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Teacher Yu agreed on the surface, but she rolled her eyes in her heart. What you believe is Luo Feng talking about being the top scorer in the exams, hehe. She looked at Vice Principal Liu¡¯s happy back, then at Luo Feng on the stage and couldn¡¯t help but to grin. This kid was very smart. No wonder he could capture Ai Tingya. However, if he could become the top scorer¡­ Hehehe, just thinking about it made her a little excited. Chapter 32 - Use Your Body to Pay Your Debt, I Wont Take Anything Else Chapter 32 Use Your Body to Pay Your Debt, I Won¡¯t Take Anything Else ¡°Run, continue running.¡± Luo Feng kept panting. He hurriedly went to look for Ai Tingya as soon as the Oath-Taking Rally ended. Unexpectedly, she ran away like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him. It was not easy for him to corner her. Luo Feng opened his arms and trapped Ai Tingya in a corner. ¡°I won¡¯t eat you, why are you running?¡± Luo Feng laughed. Ai Tingya¡¯s face was as red as a tomato. Her eyes were darting around in panic and she didn¡¯t dare to look Luo Feng in the eye. She has been too bold on stage just now thinking about it now. ¡°Do you know how many brain cells I lost to make up for your confession? How are you going to make it up to me?¡± Luo Feng leaned close to Ai Tingya and blew into her ear. Ai Tingya felt that she was about to melt from the heat and could not say a word. She then took out an envelope from her pocket and shyly stuffed it into Luo Feng¡¯s arms. When he opened it, there was a stack of brand new hundred-dollar bills, and they had sequential serial numbers¡­ Luo Feng shook the money and hesitated. ¡°You¡¯re going to use this to compensate me?¡± As expected of Ai Tingya. She was indeed a pragmatic person. ¡°No¡­¡± Ai Tingya said softly, ¡°This is to pay you back. I¡¯ve recorded every sum of money you spent on me previously. Give me some time for the rest¡­¡± Luo Feng weighed the banknotes in his hand. There were at least 3,000 yuan, which meant that she had probably taken out all of her university tuition money. Ai Tingya was actually running around with so much cash, wasn¡¯t she wasn¡¯t afraid of losing it? ¡°What do you mean?¡± Luo Feng was a bit angry. Ten minutes ago, she was confessing her love in front of the entire school. Why was she trying to settle the score now? ¡°I¡­ I hope that we can start on equal footing. I don¡¯t like you because you spend money on me.¡± Ai Tingya said stubbornly. ¡°If you don¡¯t accept this money, I can¡¯t like you without any distractions.¡± ¡°But the money is yours to begin with.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached as he looked at the stubborn and silly girl in front of him. He thought back to his previous life. Ai Tingya still kept him alive with money even though there was no hope for his illness. If he really had to calculate, he should be the one who owed her more. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Ai Ting Ya didn¡¯t understand Luo Feng¡¯s words. ¡°I mean that we¡¯re already dating, so my things are yours. But¡­ if you really feel bad¡­¡± Luo Feng smiled brightly. He held the back of Ai Tingya¡¯s head with one hand and kissed her lips. They were as soft as two pieces of jelly. Ai Tingya was petrified on the spot. She was so nervous that she forgot to breathe. After a short moment of shock, she gently pushed Luo Feng away and gasped for air. ¡°If you have to repay the debt, then use your body to pay. I won¡¯t accept anything else.¡± Luo Feng licked his lips evilly and said. ¡°You!¡± Ai Tingya stomped her feet in embarrassment and said angrily, ¡°What if someone sees us?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? The whole school knows about our relationship.¡± Luo Feng shrugged nonchalantly. He held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and put the money on it. ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you to deposit the money after school. Then, we¡¯ll go to my house for dinner. My mother said that she wants to thank you properly.¡± Ai Tingya opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw Luo Feng¡¯s handsome smile with an irresistible gentleness. After thinking about it, she decided to forget about it. There was still a long way to go, and she still has a long time to repay the debt after all. In the evening, on a street of food stalls. Tables and chairs were lined up on both sides of the road. Shops with good business began to serve customers. Smokey woks crackled, and the fragrance spread to every corner of the street. Mother Luo led the three of them along the street without looking sideways. She was wearing a peacock green suede dress with small pearls around her neck. Coupled with a pair of brown leather shoes, she walked with gusto as if she was going to perform on stage in the next second. Luo Feng felt that his mother was very high-spirited today. He whispered to his father. ¡°Dad, did mom pick up money from the ground today? Why is she so happy?¡± ¡°Your mother has been showing off for a few days now that you¡¯ve done well.¡± Father Luo revealed the information in a low voice. ¡°We¡¯re going to her best friend¡¯s place for a meal now. It¡¯s normal for her to be fully armed.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Luo Feng seemed to have some impression of her. ¡°The auntie who has a son who works overseas? I think I heard mum mention her before.¡± ¡°That¡¯s her.¡± ¡°What are you two talking about?¡± Mother Luo turned around sharply. She immediately held Ai Tingya¡¯s arm and roped in her as her teammate when she saw her husband and son talking bad about her. ¡°Tingya, even though this place doesn¡¯t look like much, it¡¯s really filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Many chefs¡¯ culinary skills are not inferior to those five-star chefs. Eat freely later and don¡¯t stand on the ceremony with Auntie.¡± Mother Luo said proudly. Ai Tingya smiled and said, ¡°Thank you, Auntie.¡± Then, the four of them stopped at the entrance of a small restaurant. The restaurant was called Ruyi Restaurant. It used the most popular sliding glass door at that time. The aluminum alloy frame was dull and the floor inside was yellow. The shop looked a little old. Mother Luo brushed her clothes and walked in with a smile. Then, a little girl with twin ponytails came out of the kitchen with a pile of dishes in her hands. ¡°What would you like to order?¡± The little girl hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks and welcomed them warmly. The four of them sat down. Mother Luo was not in a hurry to look at the menu. She asked. ¡°Where¡¯s your lady boss?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ Our lady boss went out for a beauty treatment. She might not come to the shop today. Do you¡­ Do you have some business with her?¡± The little girl asked curiously. Mother Luo¡¯s expression darkened as she pushed the menu forward. ¡°You guys take care of it.¡± Then, she got up and went to the bathroom. Luo Feng naturally wanted to take the menu. However, Father Luo pressed down on his hand and pointed straight at Mother Luo. He seemed to be hinting. Your mother is unhappy. It¡¯s safer to let Xiao Ai order. The father and son would most likely be the target if Mother Luo had nowhere to vent her anger. They would be scolded no matter what they did. Luo Feng understood and passed the menu to Ai Tingya: ¡°Let¡¯s order what you like first.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong unhappy?¡± with Auntie? Is she ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her. Hurry up and start ordering.¡± ¡°Uncle, what do you like to eat?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. Order what you like.¡± ¡°Luo Feng, what about you?¡± you like.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I like what ¡°Do you have any dietary preferences? Anything you do not like to eat?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about us. Just order.¡± Luo Feng and his son didn¡¯t dare to voice their opinions, so they let Ai Tingya make the decision. Ai Tingya was also confused. She ordered a few affordable dishes and added a fish with the shop assistant¡¯s recommendation. She was done with it just like that. After a while, Mother Luo came out of the bathroom. The unhappiness on her face did not fade at all, like a balloon that was constantly being inflated. Then, the shop assistant served the first dish of chili boiled meat. Mother Luo looked at Luo Feng angrily: ¡°Little Feng, how many times have I told you to eat less chili!¡± Luo Feng felt bitter. Here it comes, here it comes. Chapter 33 - There Can Only Be One Feeding Officer! Chapter 33 There Can Only Be One Feeding Officer! ¡°How many times have I told you! Don¡¯t eat so much chili, eating light is better for your health!¡± Luo Mu took the chance to teach Luo Feng a lesson to vent her anger. Luo Feng was already prepared. He leaned on Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Tingya ordered it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Auntie. I didn¡¯t know you didn¡¯t like spicy food.¡± Ai Tingya apologized innocently. Mother Luo was like a mute cannon in this situation. It did not explode even after the fuse was burned. She put on a smile and said, ¡°Tingya, you like to eat spicy food? It¡¯s good to eat spicy food. Girls who eat spicy food are forthright and the heat can expel moisture. Our family likes to eat spicy food, but Little Feng can¡¯t take too much. He¡¯s more prone to getting heaty. You have to keep an eye on him in the future and teach him a lesson if he doesn¡¯t listen.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Ai Tingya smiled too. ¡°I thought it was cold, so I ordered something spicy. The rest is very light.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so thoughtful. Hurry up and eat. Mother Luo picked a large piece of meat and placed it in Ai Tingya¡¯s bowl. The father and son heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. It seemed that they had escaped a calamity. Mother Luo¡¯s anger had probably dissipated since Ai Tingya, the fire extinguisher, was around. The dishes were served one after another. White oil lettuce tripe, assorted chowder, squirrel mandarin fish, bitter gourd eggs and a bowl of pork ribs soup. Ai Tingya ordered a table full of different tastes which Mother Luo praised endlessly. ¡°Tingya, eat more meat. Look at how thin you are.¡± Mother Luo couldn¡¯t care less about herself and kept picking up meat for Ai Tingya. ¡°A balanced diet is the most important. Try the stewed vegetables, you¡¯ll have both meat and vegetables.¡± Luo Feng also only cared about Ai Tingya. At this moment, two pairs of chopsticks picked up a piece of fish at the same time. ¡°Mom, I want to give this piece of meat to Tingya.¡± ¡°What a coincidence. Mom thinks so too.¡± Both mother and son wanted to enjoy the joy of feeding. Neither of them allowed the other to outshine the other. They picked up the meat at the same time and placed it in Ai Tingya¡¯s bowl. Ai Tingya had an obedient appearance and was filled with reverence for food. Her face was filled with a blissful smile as she ate. Those who fed her would naturally feel happiness and pride. Luo Feng glanced at his mother. How could someone still want to snatch the position of a feeder? He was the only one who should feed Ai Tingya regardless of whether it was in the past or in the future! Mother Luo had the same thought opposite her. The mother and son secretly competed just like that. ¡°This pig liver is very delicious. There¡¯s no smell at all. You can supplement iron intake with it!¡± ¡°The stir-fried vegetables are not bad. It was cooked very well. Tingya, eat more.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t ignore protein either! You like both eggs and lean meat, right?¡± ¡°Fish is also rich in protein. It¡¯s sweet and sour, but not greasy. Eat quickly!¡± The two of them instantly became masters of nutrition. Ai Tingya did not even touch her chopsticks, and a small mountain was piled up in her bowl. Luo Feng saw that there was no more space on the plate, so he picked up some meat and fed it to Ai Tingya directly. He didn¡¯t believe that his mother could still compete with him like this. ¡°Tingya, eat this.¡± Mother Luo took another bowl and slowly filled it with soup before handing it to Ai Tingya, not to be outdone. Ai Tingya just sat there. Her mouth and hands were busy and she became the busiest person at the dining table. ¡°Auntie, you guys eat too. Don¡¯t just give me food. My bowl can¡¯t hold anymore.¡± Ai Tingya could only persuade the two of them like this, hoping that they would give her a chance to pick up her chopsticks. Father Luo seemed like an outsider who had nothing to do with this while the three of them were engaged in a heated discussion. He was happy to have peace and quiet. It did not matter as long as he was not used as a target to vent his anger. He reached out his chopsticks and realized that all the good meat on the table had been picked clean. There were only bean sprouts left in the chili boiled meat. The belly meat of the squirrel fish had been emptied, and even the tenderest vegetable was in Ai Tingya¡¯s bowl. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, you two are going overboard. Xiao Ai can choose whatever she wants to eat. What if she doesn¡¯t like the food you gave her?¡± Father Luo was ¡°forced¡± to stand up and speak up for her. One of them would starve to death while the other would bloat to death if they continued this farce. ¡°Mom, look at you. Ting Ya was so overwhelmed by your passion that she didn¡¯t dare to move.¡± said Luo Feng. ¡°You picked all the vegetables for Tingya. Her body is so weak. She has to eat more meat!¡± Mother Luo said. ¡°Let Xiao Ai eat by herself. We¡¯re family. She can eat whatever she likes.¡± Father Luo said. Ai Tingya nodded subtly, expressing her agreement. The dishes in the bowl were enough for two meals. It was still a mystery if she could finish them or not. Mother Luo took the opportunity to take her first bite seeing that most of the good dishes on the plate had been given to Tingya. Luo Feng was already starving. He lowered his head and found out that Ai Tingya had transferred the meat from her bowl to his side. Her black eyes were filled with the words ¡®Help me eat some¡¯. The family was happy and the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious. It was so harmonious that Mother Luo forgot her main purpose for coming here. If this meal was finished just like that, they would be very happy other than Ai Tingya, who was stuffed to the brim. At this moment, a fragrance blew in from outside. Immediately after, a woman in bright green clothes walked in. The room was filled with guests. The woman immediately saw Mother Luo and called out in a high-pitched voice. ¡°Xiaomin, what brings you here today?¡± Mother Luo shivered and put down her chopsticks as if she was facing a great enemy. She stood up like a peacock and smiled. ¡°Chunhua, you¡¯re back. I¡¯m here to give you some business of course.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time. Your taste has improved.¡± || ¡°No, you¡¯re younger too. You¡¯ve lost a few wrinkles at the corners of your eyes.¡± conversation was The seemingly harmonious filled with gunpowder. ¡°Yo! Isn¡¯t this Xiao Feng, right? It¡¯s been a few years since we last met, and you¡¯ve grown so big. Do you still remember Auntie Zhang? I bought you candy when you were young!¡± Zhang Chunhua said warmly. She looked at Luo Feng¡¯s handsome appearance and couldn¡¯t help but stare at him. ¡°Hello Auntie Zhang.¡± Luo Feng greeted her obediently. Ai Tingya put down her chopsticks and wondered if she should address her too. Mother Luo¡¯s main purpose for coming today was to show off her son. She was about start praising Luo Feng seeing Zhang to Chunhua taking the initiative to talk to him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunhua suddenly out her phone and said, ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s time to talk took to my son on the phone. Little Min, wait for me for a while.¡± After saying that, she took out the latest flip phone and made a call in front of Mother Luo. Mother Luo sniffled. She knew that her best friend was going to start showing off her son, who was working overseas, again. She rolled her eyes in her heart. Even though the two of them were about the same age, Mother Luo got married later than her peers, so much so that Zhang Chunhua¡¯s son was already in elementary school while Luo Feng was still holding onto his milk bottle. It could be said that he fell behind by one step. When Mother Luo was showing off her son¡¯s handicrafts from kindergarten, Zhang Chunhua was already showing off her son¡¯s English scores. When Mother Luo showed off her son¡¯s middle school exam scores, Zhang Chunhua was showing off her son¡¯s college acceptance letter. Furthermore, Luo Feng¡¯s grades in high school were mediocre, so Mother Luo had been holding back her anger. She had specially come all the way here to eat today so that she could avenge her previous humiliation! Chapter 34 - Hello Auntie, Goodbye Chapter 34 Hello Auntie, Goodbye Auntie! ¡°Hey! Son, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Mom misses you! What? You miss Mom too? You sent me oral liquid again.¡¯ ¡°Aiya, you¡¯re spending money recklessly again. The effect of that oral liquid is indeed better than in China. My waist doesn¡¯t feel sore anymore after drinking it, and my hair has turned black.¡± ¡°I know you are filial. Your father and I are fine at home. You have to take care of your health when you¡¯re outside. Alright, alright, let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Go ahead with your work. I won¡¯t disturb you from work.¡± Zhang Chunhua shouted at the top of her lungs, as if the phone transmission signal was unstable and needed to be made up for with her voice. The people sitting in the small restaurant were basically regular customers who came for the taste. They had heard a little about Zhang Chunhua¡¯s son¡¯s situation. ¡°Lady Boss, you¡¯re so lucky. Your son works overseas and talks to her on the phone everyday. It¡¯ll be great if my child is still so capable and filial in the future.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Just look at the lady boss¡¯s state. She¡¯s really a few years younger since the child is so obedient!¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. In the past, I even met the boss¡¯s son when I came to eat. He¡¯s a very supportive young man. He¡¯s very good other than being a little short.¡± ¡°If he develops outside for a few years and marries a foreign wife, the lady boss will really enjoy life.¡± In the 2000s, foreigners in the country were like precious animals. The number of heads turning when they walked on the streets was also 100%. The rapid development of foreign countries was comparable to a paradise filled with gold. The Chinese were filled with yearning for foreign countries. Zhang Chunhua felt her face light up. She put down her phone and sat beside Mother Luo, as if she had just received her award. She held Mother Luo¡¯s hand. ¡°Xiao Min, we haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. Why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance that you were coming? My son bought me a lot of beauty supplements. Bring some back later. It¡¯s very good for your health.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. I want to compare the foreign products against our national products.¡± Mother Luo climbed up the pole without any politeness. The shipping fee alone was quite expensive for overseas items. Zhang Chunhua was just being polite. It was still a little painful to give it away. She quickly changed the topic to Luo Feng. ¡°Little Feng is about to take the college entrance exam, right? How are your results? Which university are you planning to go to?¡± ¡°I¡¯m studying at No.1 Middle School.¡± Luo Feng answered obediently. ¡°Oh my, I heard recently that your No.1 Middle School has a child who scored full marks in all subjects. Are you familiar with him? It¡¯s very useful to learn from him!¡± Luo Feng said indifferently, ¡°Auntie, the person you¡¯re talking about is me.¡± ¡°¡­You?¡± Zhang Chunhua was shocked. She had heard before that Luo Feng was a dabbler with average grades. She even encouraged Mother Luo to take care of him. How did he suddenly become the number one in all subjects? When Mother Luo saw Zhang Chunhua¡¯s incredulous expression, it was as if fireworks had exploded in her heart. She immediately continued, ¡°I¡¯ve asked the teacher. She said that with Little Feng¡¯s results, good universities will fight for him. It won¡¯t be a problem to cover tuition and living expenses with the scholarship.¡± ¡°Is that so¡­ Haha, then keep it up¡­¡± Zhang Chunhua shriveled, not wanting to speak anymore. Luo Feng asked curiously: ¡°Speaking of which, which country does Big Brother work in?¡± ¡°The best America!¡± ¡°Oh-¡± Luo Feng snickered. ¡°There¡¯s a time difference in the U.S., so it should be around six in the morning. Getting up so early to go to work must be tough for him.¡± Luo Feng had only met Zhang Chunhua¡¯s son a few times and called him Big brother. Zhang Chunhua smiled awkwardly and put her phone back into her pocket. She couldn¡¯t say that she was just putting on an act. International calls were so expensive after all. How could she call every day? She felt like Luo Feng seemed to have seen through something, so she didn¡¯t dare look him in the eye. ¡°Speaking of which, your son has been working for two years. Has he gotten a girlfriend overseas? When is he planning to get married?¡± Mother Luo asked again. Zhang Chunhua¡¯s son¡¯s marriage might have been her biggest worry recently. She had even sent her son a few photos in the past. They were all girls she had carefully selected. They had good looks, figures, and figures. However, her son did not like any of them, causing the introducers to be unwilling to introduce anymore. However, the two places were thousands of miles apart, so Zhang Chunhua could only worry alone. ¡°Young people have to be busy with their careers first. There¡¯s no hurry. Don¡¯t talk about finding a partner in front of the children, lest they get distracted.¡± Zhang Chunhua wanted to skip the topic of finding a partner, but suddenly saw a girl sitting next to Luo Feng. Zhang Chunhua was busy showing off just now, so she didn¡¯t notice. The girl is quite pretty now that she¡¯s taken a closer look. Her sitting posture is quiet and proper, and her dressing is neat and clean. She was mumbling in her heart that she didn¡¯t know Luo Feng had a sister. ¡°Is this your relative¡¯s child?¡± Zhang Chunhua asked. She felt that this girl was very affable. If she was the right age, it would be good to introduce her son to her. Mother Luo had been waiting for this moment! She said proudly, ¡°She¡¯s Xiao Feng¡¯s girlfriend. Her name is Ai Tingya. Tingya, this is Auntie Zhang.¡¯ ¡°Hello, Auntie Zhang.¡± Ai Tingya stood up and greeted her very humbly and politely. Zhang Chunhua¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°They¡¯re in their third year of high school. You don¡¯t even worry about puppy love?¡± Mother Luo covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°They can improve together. It¡¯s all thanks to Tingya that Xiao Feng was able to get first place. I came to your place today to thank her. It¡¯s as delicious as ever.¡± Zhang Chunhua was petrified on the spot. What kind of good luck did Luo Feng have to be able to pick up a goddess as his wife and improve his grades while dating? Why didn¡¯t his son encounter such a good thing? ¡°Ahaha¡­ Congratulations then. In that case, I won¡¯t disturb your family¡¯s meal. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Zhang Chunhua did not want to stay a second longer. The happiness of this family was too dazzling. She went into the kitchen like a gust of wind. Mother Luo was extremely happy and hummed a tune happily. ¡°Good son, you¡¯ve finally done well. Did you see her expression when you talked about the phone call just now? She was so flustered that she didn¡¯t dare to look at you.¡± Mother Luo held her stomach and laughed hysterically. ¡°Mom, lower your voice and save Auntie Zhang some face.¡± ¡°If she dares to pretend, then she shouldn¡¯t be afraid of being exposed. Hahaha, it was worth it to come today!¡± ¡°Alright, is it really so exaggerated?¡± His mother was happy, and Luo Feng¡¯s heart was at ease. For such a long time, he had always heard his mother praise Ai Tingya, but today, she actually said about how good his son was. He saw his mother holding Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and saying earnestly just as he was feeling smug, ¡°Tingya, you¡¯re really our family¡¯s lucky star. Only good things have been happening to our family one after another ever since you came. Auntie really likes you.¡± Alright, the credit still belonged to Ai Tingya. Luo Feng placed his plate on the other side and watched as Mother Luo picked up another bunch of food for Ai Tingya. Ai Ting Ya felt the food piling up to her throat. She burped and turned to Luo Feng for help. Luo Feng smiled wickedly and pointed at his face as if to say, ¡°You owe me again.¡± Chapter 35 - Meeting Love Around The Corner, Wait for My Good Chapter 35 Meeting Love Around The Corner, Wait for My Good News! After dinner, Mother Luo took the supplements that her best friend had given her and happily held her husband¡¯s arm as they went home. Luo Feng was responsible for sending Ai Tingya back to the orphanage. He held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and walked slowly along the road towards the orphanage. Ai Tingya held her round stomach and inched around in pain. Luo Feng held her hand as they sat by the roadside. His heart ached as he said, ¡°If you can¡¯t eat, then don¡¯t eat. My mom won¡¯t say anything.¡± After saying that, he also burped. The portion that he helped to eat might have burst Ai Tingya¡¯s stomach open. ¡°Auntie will have a bad impression of me if I don¡¯t eat it.¡± Ai Tingya said aggrievedly. Luo Feng was amused and asked the obvious, ¡°Why do you want to create such a good impression? Do you want to marry into our family?¡± Ai Tingya slapped him and scolded jokingly, ¡°Annoying person! Do you want me to say it? Who said that you want to walk the future with me? Don¡¯t you know what I mean?¡± ¡°Spare me, spare me. I said it. I know you want to build a good relationship with your mother-in-law. I¡¯ll help you in the future, okay?¡± ¡°Hey, who¡¯s your wife?¡± Ai Tingya pouted cutely. The two of them sat on a bench by the road and leaned against each other. They were like a sweet couple, enjoying the time that only belonged to the two of them. Across the street was a bright billboard with a movie poster of the Titanic. It was the classic scene of Jack and Ruth standing at the bow. It was an old movie that had been re-released. They had heard of its reputation even if they had not seen it before. The classic theme songs had been a favorite music of the malls for a period of time. Luo Feng noticed that Ai Tingya was staring at the poster in a daze. For children in orphanages, amusement parks, zoos, and movie theaters should be the most unfamiliar terms. Consumer entertainment was quite a luxury for them. Thinking of this, Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached. He took Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go watch a movie since we¡¯re already here.¡± Mother Luo went to school to pick them up today for the meal. They had skipped the evening self-study and so it was a waste of a good opportunity to go back like this. Ai Tingya was overjoyed for a moment. Her eyes shone with yearning as she looked at the poster. However, it was only for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, ¡°Forget it. I can¡¯t sit still. I¡¯d better take a walk.¡± ¡°Student Ai Tingya, don¡¯t you know that exercising immediately after a meal makes your stomach sag? Sitting quietly for a while is the right thing to do.¡± Luo Feng pulled her towards the cinema without any explanation. Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t dissuade him, so she could only stand aside and watch Luo Feng buy the tickets. His luck wasn¡¯t bad. The next movie will start in ten minutes. Luo Feng bought two bottles of soda and a large bucket of popcorn. The two of them walked into the hall. The big screen was already showing advertisements. Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and found a spot in the dark. A boy sat down alone not far from them. Love movies were basically watched by couples. It was just like how eating hotpot alone could easily attract the pity of others. If one was alone, one would inevitably be looked at twice. Ai Tingya looked sideways and was attracted by the other facilities in the theater. She couldn¡¯t sit still and touched her left and right like a curious baby. ¡°First time watching a movie?¡± Luo Feng asked. Ai Tingya nodded. ¡°The orphanage organized an open-air movie once during the New Year. This is the first time I¡¯ve come to the cinema.¡± Some charity organizations will arrange entertainment activities for the orphanage, but it¡¯s still rare to watch a movie outdoors in the winter. Luo Feng could imagine the children of the orphanage huddled together and squatting in front of the curtain expectantly. Their expressions might be the same as Ai Tingya¡¯s, as if they were waiting for a new world to open. Luo Feng felt a bit sad. He handed over the popcorn and said, ¡°Try it.¡± The rich milky fragrance tempted Ai Tingya. Even though she had just eaten until she was bloated, she could not resist the temptation. She grabbed two and threw them into her mouth. ¡°They¡¯re so sweet!¡± She grabbed a handful and ate a few before saying worriedly. ¡°I can¡¯t eat much. It¡¯s a pity. My stomach will swell after drinking soda.¡± Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya, who was both happy and worried. He patted her head and said, ¡°Eat as much as you can. Next time, I¡¯ll bring you over if you want to eat. Anytime.¡¯ Ai Tingya pouted and said, ¡°Once is enough. Don¡¯t waste money.¡± As she spoke, she grabbed two more handfuls and stuffed them into her mouth, forgetting about her bloatedness. The movie started and everyone fell silent. Luo Feng yawned in boredom. He had experienced the highest level of Dolby Cinema before, so this movie was no different from an open-air movie. Moreover, romance films were too dull for him. He tilted his head and stared at Ai Tingya¡¯s profile. He realized that she was completely immersed in the movie plot. She would be happy when Jack won the lottery. She would be sad about Ruth¡¯s troubled family marriage. So much so that she forgot to retract her hand that was holding the popcorn. Luo Feng took the hand that was in the popcorn bucket, carefully wiped off the popcorn crumbs on it and gently held it. In the dark, it was most suitable for couples to hold hands. At this moment, the boy who had been noticed by Ai Tingya held his phone. The lit screen stopped at the text message interface. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not coming.¡± The rejection was simple and cruel. The boy held two buckets of popcorn with a sad face and took two bites as if he was taking revenge. He had originally asked his goddess out to get closer to her, but who knew that she would stand him up? He had treated her so well in vain. Even if he spent all the money he saved by eating instant noodles, he would not be able to buy her heart. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± The boy let out a long sigh. The romance movie on the big screen was also a form of mockery for him. He wanted to leave, but he felt that the ticket price was too expensive and it was not worth it to leave. It seemed that everything except the screen had become interesting. The boy¡¯s gaze drifted around in the darkness. Suddenly, a beautiful face not far away attracted his attention. There was a beautiful girl sitting a few seats away. Even though the lights in the cinema were dim, the blurry light had a gentle effect. The outline of her exquisite face was still very clear. The boy subconsciously shivered¡ª He had never seen a girl as exquisite as a statue. It was often said that the heavens had their own will. He felt that perhaps he was stood up tonight to bid farewell to the past and welcome a brand new relationship! He really needed someone¡¯s encouragement to have the courage to put it into practice. The boy picked up his phone again and sent a message to his buddy. ¡°Brother, I¡¯ve met my true love. Encourage me to confess!¡± ¡°Deng Yang, are you joking? Didn¡¯t you confess to Jiang Xiaoyu a long time ago? How did you meet your true love again?¡± The boy called Deng Yang said excitedly, ¡°Jiang Xiaoyu is already in the past. I fell in love with a girl at first sight. Tell me that men need to be decisive! I want to confess to her immediately!¡± ¡°Uh¡­ um¡­ good luck.¡± The other party hesitated and only replied with a few words. ¡°Thank you, brother! Wait for my good news!¡± Chapter 36 - A Few Minutes of Love Chapter 36 A Few Minutes of Love ¡°Thank you, brother! Wait for my good news!¡± Deng Yang clenched his fists. He was determined to win the goddess of love at first sight! He was like a scout in a trench. He moved his butt to the position beside Ai Tingya, preparing to start the relationship by talking about the movie plot. He wanted to show his unique understanding of the movie. Then, when the lights in the theater lit up, he would use his handsomeness to completely conquer the other party! ¡°Sniff-¡° A sniffing sound came from beside him. The goddess was crying. ¡°This is a good opportunity!¡± Deng Yang quickly took out the tissue he had prepared in advance and was about to show off his gentle side! At this moment, he saw the goddess¡¯ body tilt to the other side. ¡°Tingya, don¡¯t be sad.¡± A gentle voice came from the other side. Deng Yang leaned out and saw a man sitting next to the goddess. He was wiping her tears with his sleeve, and their other hands were tightly clasped together. ¡°Fate is too unfair to them.¡± The goddess leaned on the boy¡¯s shoulder as if she was commenting on a movie. However, she was clearly talking about himself in Deng Yang¡¯s ears. Why wasn¡¯t she single since he had met her? Deng Yang felt like his heart was like a rag that was twisted into a fried dough twist by fate. ¡°Brother, I¡¯ve fallen out of love again.¡± Deng Yang retreated to his seat and gave his blessings to the goddess in his unwillingness. He could not deny that his goddess¡¯ boyfriend was really handsome. The girl he liked had a high standard of beauty. Deng Yang could only comfort himself like this. The movie quickly ended. Couples walked out of the theater, the girls were still grieving for the movie while the boys were in charge of comforting them. How suitable for couples to watch. Deng Yang felt even sadder as he walked. He should be the one who wanted to cry the most. ¡°Phew, you¡¯re finally out.¡± Deng Yang¡¯s brother was waiting for him outside the waiting area. ¡°Are you alright? Do you need me to accompany you for a drink?¡± ¡°Boohoo¡­¡± Deng Yang could no longer maintain his strong front in front of his brother. He burst into tears. ¡°Why is my life so bitter? I just want a sincere love!¡± His brother seemed to be used to his behavior. He hugged his shoulder and comforted him. ¡°It¡¯s fine to suffer a little setback as a man. Let¡¯s go for a drink. It¡¯s your treat.¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll tell everyone that you cried when you watched the movie!¡± ¡°Son, go and die!¡± The two of them laughed and scolded each other as they left the cinema. Ai Tingya and Luo Feng were walking behind Deng Yang. She didn¡¯t know that she was the source of Deng Yang¡¯s sadness. Seeing the two of them bickering, she couldn¡¯t help but to say enviously, ¡°The boy in front has such a good relationship with his brother.¡± ¡°Right.¡± Luo Feng noticed it too. ¡°Just like you and Lei Jin.¡± Ai Tingya suddenly said. Luo Feng thought about it, it was indeed as Ai Tingya said. He lived close to Lei Jin¡¯s family and had been in the same class since elementary school. In his previous life, his parents had died early and he had an incurable disease. During that period of time, he was lying on the hospital bed. If Lei Jin had not asked his mother to come and take care of him and send him two meals a day, he might not have lived to meet Ai Tingya. Thinking of this, Luo Feng felt that he was too lucky. ¡°Luo Feng, I really envy you.¡± said Ai Tingya. ¡°Don¡¯t you still have Xiao Fei? When we get married in the future, Lei Jin will be the best man and Xiao Fei will be the bridesmaid.¡± Luo Feng sincerely planned. ¡°Dream on. Who wants to marry you?¡± Ai Tingya scolded jokingly. The two of them laughed and walked back to the orphanage. When she reached the intersection, she happened to see the apple tree in the courtyard. Ai Tingya stopped and said, ¡°It is enough to send me here.¡± Luo Feng agreed, looking at the remaining short distance. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll leave after seeing you enter the courtyard.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Ai Tingya agreed, but she didn¡¯t move. She pursed her lips and held Luo Feng¡¯s hand, unwilling to let go for a long time. She struggled for a while, then stood on her tiptoes under Luo Feng¡¯s surprised gaze. His warm breath landed on Luo Feng¡¯s face. His soft lips touched Luo Feng¡¯s face, but they bounced off as if they were electrocuted. The warm touch was quickly blown away by the spring breeze. ¡°I owed you this at the dining table just now. Don¡¯t misunderstand.¡± Ai Tingya explained with a red face. ¡°Then you¡¯ll have to work harder to repay your debts. Who knows when I¡¯ll take the initiative to collect them.¡± Luo Feng licked his lips, seemingly still carrying the sweetness of popcorn. ¡°Tsk, go back. Be careful on the way.¡± Ai Tingya waved her hand and ran away like a little rabbit. Luo Feng stared at her back until the iron gate was locked before leaving. He hailed a cab and headed home. The days after that were very peaceful. School life in the third year of high school was just to ¡°learn¡± from beginning to end. At the same time, he revised the knowledge of the first two years of the new class. The rhythm was so fast that one would not be able to keep up with the rhythm if one was even the slightest distracted in class. In addition, the more time they spent in school, the less time they had to revise in private. ¡°This knowledge point is of utmost importance! It comes out every year, you have to memorize it. You have to be right about it even when you talk in your sleep!¡± ¡°This too. It is tested almost every other year. Since it wasn¡¯t on the exam last year, it will definitely be on the exam this year. This is a giveaway. Don¡¯t get it wrong.¡± ¡°Golden formula, students. If you encounter a big question, just use it! Even if you don¡¯t know anything, just writing the formula will give you a few points. Remember it!¡± Teacher Yu rumbled through on the podium, wishing that she could tear the book into pieces and stuff it into the students¡¯ heads. Every point of knowledge was taught through gritted teeth, like a ruminative penguin mother feeding the students bits of knowledge. A tall wall of books was built on the desks, and behind them were the sleepy eyes of the students. They swayed as they listened to the class and yawned listlessly. The teaching progress was so fast that they lost interest quickly. Even the most serious Ai Tingya felt like she was listening to a heavenly book. After class, she hugged her textbook sadly and said, ¡°I still don¡¯t understand many things.¡± Luo Feng took the book and said, ¡°What do you not understand, let me teach you.¡± Ai Tingya remembered that she didn¡¯t understand much even though she was seriously taking notes in class. While Luo Feng bit his pen cap in class and looked the window at the quarreling sparrows. She was instantly furious: ¡°I¡¯m not listening to you, I¡¯ll go to the office and ask the teacher.¡± Luo Feng was confused. His explanation wasn¡¯t bad, so why wasn¡¯t Ai Tingya willing to listen? out ¡°What did I do wrong to make you angry?¡± Luo Feng asked. He still couldn¡¯t guess a girl¡¯s thought even after living two lives. Ai Tingya saw that his attitude had softened and knew that she was being willful just now. ¡°No, I just feel that I¡¯m very useless and couldn¡¯t keep up with you.¡± ¡°I see. It¡¯s easy to keep up with me. Come to my house and I¡¯ll tutor you for an hour every night. I guarantee you¡¯ll be able to understand every single lesson clearly!¡± Luo Feng patted his chest with a guarantee. Chapter 37 - Luo Fengs Tutoring Rules Chapter 37 Luo Feng¡¯s Tutoring Rules ¡°Will listening for an hour really help me improve my results?¡± Ai Tingya asked doubtfully. She knew that Luo Feng¡¯s comprehension ability was very good. He could memorize all the knowledge in the book and use it to do questions. However, having good grades didn¡¯t mean that he could teach people. To be able to understand in an hour was a bit of an exaggeration. ¡°You can add more if you think an hour isn¡¯t enough. You can just stay at my place if it gets too late, my home is able to accommodate you.¡± smiled Luo Feng. They were eventually going to get married anyway, so it didn¡¯t matter if they lived under the same roof. Ai Tingya heard the evil thoughts in Luo Feng¡¯s head and thought for a bit before saying, ¡°Sure, but wait for me to get ready. How about I go to your place tomorrow night?¡± Was she going to prepare toiletries? Actually there was no need. He had everything at home. He didn¡¯t expect Ai Tingya to agree so quickly. Luo Feng was overjoyed. He found a notebook and started to set up the tutoring rules. Ai Tingya stretched her head and saw the word ¡°rules¡±. She knew that Luo Feng was thinking about something else. She smiled and turned around to shake Lei Jin awake. ¡­ Luo Feng brought Ai Tingya back to his home the next night. Mother Luo had heard that Ai Tingya was coming home to study early so she had bought a sumptuous supper and was waiting for her. ¡°Tingya, you¡¯re here?¡± Mother Luo took Ai Tingya¡¯s bag enthusiastically. Father Luo also put down the newspaper and nodded at Ai Tingya with a smile. ¡°Auntie didn¡¯t know what you liked to eat, so I bought some of everything and placed them all on the dining table. You can take whatever you want to eat.¡± Mother Luo pointed at the dining table. Sweet bread, salty fried noodles, a large skewer of barbecue, and a pot of crayfish. It was even more sumptuous than dinner. Luo Feng glanced at her with disdain and said, ¡°Mom, you¡¯re really something. It¡¯s not even the season to eat crayfish yet. Besides, who¡¯s going to eat so much oily food at night? Fruits are definitely more suitable for supper. Aiya!¡± Ai Tingya secretly elbowed Luo Feng and glared at him, warning him to stop. How could he let his mother down? Mother Luo was already used to her son¡¯s sarcastic words. ¡°Alright, alright. Go and study. I¡¯ll call you when I¡¯m done peeling the apple.¡± She pushed the two of them into the room with that. ¡°Can the two of them calm down and study hard alone inside?¡± Father Luo put down the newspaper and asked worriedly, drawing a question mark on his son¡¯s reservedness. ¡°It¡¯s possible. Didn¡¯t they do this a lot last semester? Why don¡¯t you help me wash the apples if you have the time to worry?¡± Mother Luo was very confident in her son. ¡°But I see that they¡¯re under a lot of pressure in their third year of high school. You know that it is necessary to have an outlet to vent when the pressure is high.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Did you do the same thing previously since you can think of that?¡± Why has the target turned to me again? Father Luo thought to himself. He immediately raised his hand and admitted defeat. ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything. Hurry up and prepare the fruits.¡± On the other side, Luo Feng made Ai Tingya sit by the bed and unrolled a piece of paper the size of a calendar. On it were the words ¡°Tutoring Rules¡±, and he even used a red pen to draw the highlights. Luo Feng hung it on the bookshelf and took out a radio antenna from somewhere, using it as a pointer. ¡°Student Ai Tingya, you know that nothing works where there are no rules. These are the rules I set for you. See if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand.¡± Ai Tingya raised her eyebrows. She knew that Luo Feng had revealed his true colors as soon as she saw the first one. She read. ¡°First, one hour of tutoring every night. If you exceed the time limit, you have to pay with a ¡®kiss¡¯. You can¡¯t delay payment on it.¡± ¡°Your teacher is also a human, it¡¯s hard for him to survive without some rewards.¡± Luo Feng said convincingly. Ai Tingya felt that something wasn¡¯t right, but she couldn¡¯t find a reason to refute him, so she continued, ¡°Second, the student (Ai Tingya) needs to call the teacher (Luo Feng) with sweet nicknames in order to differentiate from boring classes. For example?¡± ¡°For example, hubby, darling, family head, and so on¡­ In short, you can call me whatever you like. I¡¯m very open-minded and am giving you full freedom.¡± The shamelessness made Ai Tingya laugh. ¡°Third, if there are knowledge points that can¡¯t be remembered even after repeated explanations, there will be a small punishment, based on the actual situation.¡± Luo Feng pointed at himself and said. ¡°I will dictate the actual situation, using my standards as the basis.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you taking advantage of me? I wouldn¡¯t be able to reject it if you ask for¡­ that¡­ that excessive request.¡± Ai Tingya said with embarrassment. Luo Feng supported the back of Ai Tingya¡¯s chair with one hand and lifted her chin with the other. ¡°Student Ai Tingya, don¡¯t you trust your hubby, ah no, your teacher¡¯s character?¡± ¡°Nonsense.¡± Ai Tingya pushed him away. ¡°Time is tight. Let¡¯s start class.¡± ¡°Call me hubby and get used to it, then we¡¯ll officially begin¡± Luo Feng revealed a malicious smile. Ai Tingya actually didn¡¯t object. The sun would be rising from the west. Ai Tingya was so angry that she lost her temper. She held back her bulging cheeks and could only compromise after holding it in for a while. She said softly, ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s begin.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Luo Feng held her face and kissed it. Mother Luo, who was at the door, almost cried out in fear. She almost lost her grip on the apple in her hand, covered her mouth and ran to the kitchen, shouting excitedly at the vegetable basin. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Father Luo came over. ¡°I just Tingya call Xiao Feng ¡®Hubby¡¯. We didn¡¯t even dare to hold hands when we were dating. Young people nowadays are really bold!¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Father Luo scratched his face and recalled his heroic act of flirting with young girls when he was young. He said seriously. ¡°You¡¯re already so old. Don¡¯t listen to what you shouldn¡¯t hear. Leave some privacy for the children.¡± Mother Luo blushed and said guiltily, ¡°It was just a coincidence. What should we do with this plate of apples now?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll eat it ourselves.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Mother Luo thought it through. In any case, they would be a family in the future. It didn¡¯t matter if they started a little earlier or a little later. She would let them be as long as it didn¡¯t affect their studies. She understood the warmth during the honeymoon period. At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Mother Luo glanced at the clock on the wall. Who would be knocking at the door at nine-thirty? ¡°Sister Sun, why are you here?¡± Mother Luo pushed open the door and saw Sun Bi, Lei Jin¡¯s mother, standing at the door with two cartons of milk in her hands. ¡°Sorry for disturbing you so late at night.¡± Sun Bi put down the milk shyly. Lei Jin¡¯s family lived in the same district as Luo Feng before he was born. The two families often interacted with each other. After Lei Jin was born, Lei Jin¡¯s father bought a bigger house and moved out. However, it was only a few streets away. The two families became closer than before after the two kids went to school together. Sun Bi must have something to ask of her since she brought the milk, but Mother Luo could not guess what it was. After inviting her into the house, Mother Luo asked, ¡°Sister Sun, what¡¯s the matter so late at night?¡± Sun Bi rubbed her hands and said embarrassedly, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m here to ask Little Feng for a favor. You know that Lei Jin¡¯s results are terrible. I heard that Little Feng¡¯s results are good, so I want to ask him to help tutor Lei Jin.¡± Mother Luo nodded with understanding. The third wheel has arrived. Chapter 38 - I Dont Like Being a Lightbulb Either Chapter 38 I Don¡¯t Like Being a Lightbulb Either ¡°Is it convenient for Little Feng?¡± Sun Bi asked carefully. She was a shy person and not very good at expressing herself. Lei Jin¡¯s father was very capable and did not need her to do much so she did not ask for help very often. How could Mother Luo not be willing when she heard this? She treated Lei Jin as half a son. Xiao Feng¡¯s relationship could continue at any time, but there was only one chance to save Lei Jin¡¯s results. ¡°Sister Sun, take a seat, I¡¯ll get him for you.¡± Luo Mu stood up and knocked on Luo Feng¡¯s door. At the same time, Luo Feng was revising the math paper they did that day with Ai Tingya. ¡°Little Tingya, why do you always make the same mistakes here? AD is obviously perpendicular to BC! Look, look, the drawing is very obvious, isn¡¯t it?¡± Luo Feng almost broke the paper. Ai Ting Ya didn¡¯t have enough imagination in her space, so she had a hard time with geometry. She couldn¡¯t understand the diagram no matter how Luo Feng explained. Luo Feng was helpless and drew another supporting imaginary line: ¡°Isn¡¯t this a bit more straightforward?¡± ¡°I think I feel something.¡± Ai Tingya frowned and pointed at a point with a pen. ¡°Does this have a parallel relationship with this one?¡± ¡°Right!¡± Luo Feng clapped his hands in encouragement. She had finally understood. The two of them buried their heads together as Luo Feng taught Ai Tingya how to solve the problem step by step. ¡°Not bad! As expected of a student taught by me.¡± Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s beautiful handwriting and was very satisfied, ¡°However, I think we can add a ¡®small punishment¡¯ here in order to leave a deeper impression on you.¡¯ Ai Tingya said reluctantly, ¡°What small punishment?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s a wet¡­¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t say it explicitly. The corners of his mouth curled into an ambiguous smile, and his eyes slowly moved downwards. Ai Tingya immediately understood what he meant. She covered her back and said, ¡°You¡¯re shameless. Change it.¡± It wouldn¡¯t have such an effect if it was another one. Luo Feng blew on his palm and said, ¡°The tutoring rules are based on me. If I say this is the punishment, then this is it.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so naughty. Don¡¯t come over, or I¡¯ll call Auntie in to take a look.¡± ¡°Little Tingya, scream. No one will save you even if you scream your throat out.¡± ¡°No, no! Don¡¯t be ridiculous. I think someone¡¯s coming to your house. Listen, there¡¯s a knock on the door.¡± ¡°There¡¯s only owls at this time of night. I didn¡¯t apply for Hogwarts. Come over and let the teacher educate you.¡± The two of them were fooling around in the room when a knock on the door really came unexpectedly. Luo Feng¡¯s interest was interrupted, and he opened the door with dissatisfaction: ¡°Mom, we¡¯re at a crucial moment in our studies, can you not disturb us?¡± ¡°The neighbors can almost hear your laughter, your Auntie Sun is here, I have something to tell you.¡± Mother Luo rolled her eyes at Luo Feng, seeing that the smile lines at the corner of her son¡¯s eyes haven¡¯t relaxed yet, how could he say he¡¯s studying seriously? ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Luo Feng agreed and told Ai Tingya to stay in the room obediently. He then walked to the living room and obediently greeted the guest. ¡°Hello Auntie Sun.¡± He was quite grateful to Sun Bi. Sun Bi came more frequently than Ai Tingya when he was seriously ill in his previous life after all. He was at the critical juncture of starting a business before he fell ill. Later on, he urgently needed money, but he did not want to drag Lei Jin and his other business partners down, so he simply took some money home and laid flat. At that time, he felt like the sky was about to collapse. He lay alone in the cold house and didn¡¯t eat anything for two days and two nights. It was Lei Jin who broke the door and forced him to go to the hospital for treatment. At that time, Luo Feng was in a daze and couldn¡¯t remember anything clearly. He only remembered Sun Bi standing in front of his bed and wiping her tears. She knew that he had no parents and no one to take care of him, so she came to deliver lunch and dinner twice a day. Later on, he found out that Sun Bi and the others took out all their savings to help him treat his illness. However, Luo Feng knew that he couldn¡¯t repay them, so he rejected their good intentions and got the people from charities to bring him along. He had no way to repay this kindness. ¡°Little Feng, Auntie has something to ask of you.¡± Sun Bi fidgeted with her fingers nervously. Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Auntie Sun, I know you¡¯re here for Lei Jin¡¯s results, no problem. One of my classmates is also tutoring at my house coincidentally so the three of us can accompany each other.¡± Luo Feng caught a glimpse of Ai Tingya hiding behind the door crack and snickering as they were talking. He took a guess about the timing of Sun Bi¡¯s arrival. Why didn¡¯t she come earlier or later? She just had to bump into the first day of tutoring. This girl must have done something. ¡°I know that Xiao Feng is the most generous. Xiao Jin even asked me to ask for a favor.¡± Sun Bi said, comforted. ¡°Is it convenient tonight? I¡¯ll get Xiao Jin to come over now.¡± ¡°Alright, ask him to bring today¡¯s math paper along.¡± Luo Feng agreed. It seemed like he was the one who suggested participating in the tutoring judging from Sun Bi¡¯s tone. Why didn¡¯t his brother tell him personally? Luo Feng felt that there was something fishy going on. After a while, Lei Jin appeared in front of Luo Feng¡¯s house. He lowered his head like a puppy that was caught, his eyes were darting around and he didn¡¯t dare to meet Luo Feng¡¯s gaze. Luo Feng brought Lei Jin into the room after greeting the three parents. ¡°Dude, I didn¡¯t mean to ruin your virgin night.¡± Lei Jin was the first to make his stand clear as soon as he entered. Luo Feng could guess what he was going to say. He had to save his grades, so he had no choice but to come. ¡°Tingya told you about it?¡± Luo Feng said helplessly. No wonder she could accept the ¡°tutoring rules¡± so easily. She had already found someone to save the situation. Lei Jin nodded. He really couldn¡¯t resist this temptation. The tutoring provided by two top students couldn¡¯t be bought with money. Since Ai Tingya¡¯s tutoring could make Luo Feng the first place in their grade, he might be able to get into a third-tier university with their help. He carefully raised his head. Even though this wasn¡¯t the first time he entered Luo Feng¡¯s room, the room had an additional layer of privacy with the addition of Ai Tingya. It was at this moment that Lei Jin saw the ¡°Tutoring Rules¡± hanging on the bookshelf. The red pen¡¯s highlights were too tempting. Was this something a teenager should read? Lei Jin, who didn¡¯t dare to look at Luo Feng just a minute ago, opened his mouth and revealed a vulgar smile: ¡°Teacher Luo Feng, can I teach you Sweetie? Is it not intimate enough?¡± ¡°Scram.¡± Luo Feng kicked his butt. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Sweetie, don¡¯t be shy. What did Ai Tingya call you? I will address you the same way.¡± Lei Jin teased. Only then did Ai Tingya realize the shameful ¡°Tuition Rules¡± was hanging in a conspicuous place. She pulled the paper off in a panic, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it in the corner. ¡°Sister-in-law is shy, hahaha!¡± This time, it was Lei Jin¡¯s turn to hold his stomach. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sister-in-law. My mouth is very tight. I definitely won¡¯t tell anyone. Don¡¯t you think so, Sweetie?¡± Luo Feng glared at him: ¡°I¡¯ll sew your mouth up if you keep this up.¡± ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Ai Tingya interrupted him in embarrassment. ¡°Hurry up and study. Don¡¯t waste time.¡± ¡°No problem, Sister-in-law!¡± Chapter 39 - Examine Yourself And Show Your Level Of Understanding! Chapter 39 Examine Yourself And Show Your Level Of Understanding! Luo Feng¡¯s small room was extremely crowded on the first day of tutoring. In the past, he had never thought that his bedroom would be required to take on the responsibility of being a library. Hence, Ai Tingya was left to use the desk alone while Luo Feng sat on the bed. Lei Jian found a small stool to do the questions. The conditions were quite tough. Luo Feng stared at the back view of the two of them who were engrossed in their questions and seemed to recall something from the past. In his previous life, Lei Jin¡¯s family was happy and his parents were open-minded. They did not force him to study so he calmly ranked last. At that time, Luo Feng wanted to go to the same university as Xing Miaomiao, so he worked hard for the last semester. Lei Jin, on the other hand, started to relax and was prepared to get a high school diploma before going out to work. However, Lei Jin¡¯s father was injured at the construction site and his nerves were injured when the college entrance examination was approaching. He had to be attended to for a long period of time. The pillar of the family fell. At that time, Lei Jin refused to wait until graduation and was going to drop out of school to work. Lei Jin¡¯s father¡¯s head was wrapped in gauze, and his limbs were not very good. Even so, he gritted his teeth and jumped up to give Lei Jin a punch. The man¡¯s face was covered in tears as he begged Lei Jin to study hard. He did not want him to have to rely only on his physical strength in the future. Lei Jin seemed to be a different person overnight. He studied late into the night every day and woke up at 5:30 in the morning to memorize vocabulary. He slept three to four hours a day and could still open his eyes in class. However, his foundation was really too weak. Luo Feng still remembered Lei Jin crying bitterly while eating, saying that he was very anxious and under a lot of pressure, forgetting things he learnt and having to relearn everything over and over again. It was very painful. It was also at that time that Lei Jin¡¯s thick hair began to leave him and never grew back. The results of the college entrance examination were also not satisfactory. Lei Jin¡¯s score was still a few points away from getting into the second-tier university. He could only enter the better third-tier schools. However, he managed to obtain a university diploma at the very least. After this incident, the Lei Jin family suffered heavy losses, yet they still chose to help Luo Feng when he was seriously ill. Luo Feng subconsciously reached out and touched Lei Jin¡¯s head. Under Teacher Yu¡¯s tyrannical power, he shaved his fashionable afro into a crew cut. His short hair was a bit prickly, and pressing it on it was like pressing on a brush. ¡°Why are you touching your father?¡± Lei Jin dodged unhappily. ¡°You can¡¯t touch a man¡¯s head or a woman¡¯s waist, understand?¡± Luo Feng retracted his hand and said, ¡°Lei Jin, did Uncle Lei change to another construction site?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡¯ || ¡°Tell Uncle Lei not to go.¡± Luo Feng hoped that he could avoid the damage. ¡°Why?¡± Luo Feng placed his hand on Lei Jin¡¯s shoulder and patiently said, ¡°Brother, think about it. You didn¡¯t study hard for the past two years and don¡¯t know a lot of knowledge, so you must be under a lot of pressure. Can you do it without anyone hawking over you? Besides, Auntie Sun has a soft personality and can¡¯t control you, so Uncle Lei should definitely keep an eye on you.¡± Lei Jin pushed his hand away. ¡°I¡¯m not that bad.¡± Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and stared seriously into Lei Jin¡¯s eyes. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re right. But my father needs to earn money!¡± Lei Jin admitted defeat after a while. ¡°Is your future or that bit of money more important? Besides, it won¡¯t be long now. How about this, I¡¯ll pay for your family¡¯s living expenses during this period of time?¡± Luo Feng continued. Lei Jin looked at Luo Feng a few more times suspiciously. He felt that Luo Feng was too strange tonight. He said some nonsense and even wanted to give Luo Feng money. ¡°Are you having a fever? I want to learn from you, don¡¯t disturb me.¡± Lei Jin shivered, he could clearly feel that Luo Feng wasn¡¯t joking, he was too serious so his first reaction was to hide away from it. Luo Feng said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m not joking. The college entrance exam will follow you for a lifetime. Uncle Lei will definitely care more about you compared to his work.¡± ¡°Got it,¡± Lei Jin whispered back, engrossed in the paper. Luo Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he saw how serious Lei Jin was even though he couldn¡¯t solve the question. He scratched his head like a monkey learning how to write. The Lei Jin in this life came to his senses earlier than in his previous life, so he would definitely be able to avoid the tragedy. Ai Tingya was also secretly observing Luo Feng as he stared at Lei Jin with a gratified smile. In the past, Luo Feng¡¯s gaze was always locked onto her, but it suddenly landed on someone else. Ai Tingya still couldn¡¯t help but to feel jealous even though that person was Luo Feng¡¯s good brother. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Luo Feng noticed Ai Tingya¡¯s gaze and thought that she was stumped by something. ¡°I¡¯ve finished answering the questions. Help me take a look.¡± Ai Tingya pointed at the paper and said. ¡°Let me see.¡± Luo Feng took the paper and scanned through it, ¡°You¡¯ve improved a lot from before, so let¡¯s change the punishment.¡± Luo Feng pinched Ai Tingya¡¯s small face and patted her head lovingly. Lei Jin said sourly, ¡°Yo, yo, yo, Sweetie, do I also qualify for the punishment? You have to be gentler, alright?¡± ¡°Scram!¡± Luo Feng kicked the stool. Ai Tingya was also amused by his comical appearance. The dull learning environment became lively. From then on, the three of them would go to Luo Feng¡¯s house for tuition after their evening self-study sessions every day. The day students had one less night self-study session than the students who stayed on campus, so they spent more time at Luo Feng¡¯s house than in school. Studying until eleven or midnight was even more common. Lei Jin was fine. He could go home after walking a few streets, but it was not very convenient for Ai Tingya. The only mode of transportation in the middle of the night was Luo Feng¡¯s bicycle. However, Mother Luo was worried about an accident because it was too late, so she placed a bed on the balcony. Whenever it got too late, she would let Ai Tingya sleep in Luo Feng¡¯s room and get Luo Feng to sleep on the balcony. Their relationship quickly heated up, and they were so close that they wished they could even go to the toilet together. As a result, Lei Jin felt that he was very redundant. He did not have enough to eat every day, but he had a stomach full of lovey doveiness. On this day, he caught Ai Tingya handing Luo Feng a small note. She actually wrote that she was laughing at him for having ink on his face. Did she have to specially send a note for such a small matter?! ¡°Boring! You¡¯re delaying my studies!¡± He indignantly took the exercise book to the dining room. Out of sight, out of mind. The young couple was simply too sweet. ¡°Lei Jin, why are you sitting here?¡± Mother Luo noticed him. ¡°Ahahaha, it¡¯s quieter here. I need an absolutely quiet environment when I¡¯m doing the questions.¡± Lei Jin laughed. He couldn¡¯t say that it was caused by a young couple. ¡°You must ask Xiao Feng if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand. Your mother just called me to ask if you¡¯re serious.¡± Mother Luo said with concern. She naturally hoped that Luo Feng had outstanding friends around him, so she also hoped that Lei Jin could get into a good university. ¡°I understand. Thank you, Auntie. We¡¯ll work hard for the targeted examination.¡± There would be two targeted examinations before the college entrance examination. They were all comparable to the college entrance examination, be it in terms of the level of the test papers or the standards of the examination hall. The results of these two examinations would roughly be able to show their standards at the college entrance examination. Lei Jin also wanted to know how much he had improved under Luo Feng¡¯s guidance. Chapter 40 - Top Student, Please Return To The Top Student Planet Chapter 40 Top Student, Please Return To The Top Student Planet Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the first targeted exam arrived. The school arranged all the third year students according to their results from the last exam. Luo Feng was the top student in the year and sat in the first seat of Class One. Ai Tingya had fallen to the middle level due to special reasons and was taking the exam in Class Four. Lei Jin was taking the exam in Class Eight, which was on the other side of the corridor. ¡°What should I do, Luo Feng? I feel so nervous!¡± Lei Jin¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat, as if he was fished out of the water. Luo Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. Believe in yourself and in Tingya and me. Under our guidance, you¡¯ll definitely be able to sit in Class Five for the next exam.¡± ¡°But I just can¡¯t calm down! You¡¯re fine. It feels good to get first place, right?¡± Lei Jin didn¡¯t know whether to sit or stand. The floor under his feet seemed to be roasted over a fire, and the wait was very torturous. Luo Feng shrugged, ¡°I¡¯m just making do, there¡¯s not much room for improvement.¡± Lei Jin was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. Of course, it is impossible for you to improve further with a perfect score in all subjects. Or do you actually want to be the teacher setting the paper? Lei Jin was not only nervous, but also a bit more impulsive after hearing Luo Feng¡¯s words. He was like a bellows, taking deep breaths. Luo Feng was helpless seeing his state. In the past, they were in a completely flat state when they were still bad students. Any extra point was worth it, so there was no pressure. As for the top students, their years of hard work would show up on the test papers. Every point of cultivation would be fruitful. They would always say that ¡®I haven¡¯t revised either¡¯ or ¡®I don¡¯t know many questions¡¯ on the eve of the test, but those were just chatter. There was no need to say anything about Luo Feng. Ai Tingya and him were at the forefront and were very confident in themselves, so the exam was like a leisure time for him. Lei Jin was the most miserable. He did not have the grades of a top student, nor did he have the carefree attitude of a bad student. He was nervous both before and after the exam. Luo Feng looked at Lei Jin sympathetically and realized that the hair on Lei Jin¡¯s head had obviously decreased. Luo Feng thought that Lei Jin must be so anxious that he couldn¡¯t sleep at night, so he comforted Lei Jin and sent him to Class Eight¡¯s examination hall. ¡°The big question this time is really abnormal. I know every individual word, but I don¡¯t know what it means when they are connected into a sentence.¡± ¡°I spent too much time at the beginning. I didn¡¯t even have time to take a look at the last two questions.¡± ¡°The last big questions are for the top students to earn points. We¡¯ll be lucky if we can finish the first few questions.¡± ¡°The questions are too difficult. I feel that I did very badly.¡± Lei Jin walked back from Class Eight to Class One, passing by all the third year classrooms. All he heard was complaints that the math questions were too difficult. The teachers told them not to continue pondering about the exam that had just passed since they did not want it to affect their performance on the other exams. However, the discussion of math questions was always interesting. Lei Jin had heard many solutions, but none of his answers matched. It was as if there was a drum in his heart, thumping so hard that his mind went blank. He saw a group of people surrounding Luo Feng, using him as a reference to discuss the questions just as he walked back to the classroom. Lei Jin walked over with a long face. ¡°Luo Feng, I feel like I did very badly.¡± ¡°How is that possible?¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya exchanged glances. They had seen Lei Jin¡¯s standard of solving questions before the exam. Everything else was not bad other than the fact that he was not good at functions. It would not be too bad if he answered the questions seriously. ¡°It¡¯s true. I felt that I answered wrongly even though I finished all of the questions. My solutions might be wrong!¡± Lei Jin hugged his head and said in pain. He likes to pull out his hair when he is anxious. ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry to feel uncomfortable, tell me how you solved the question¡± Luo Feng was now a walking reference answer. Lei Jin raised his head and roughly explained how he had written the solution. The class math representative next to him replied before Luo Feng could get a word in.¡±The way I solved the questions is completely different from yours. Don¡¯t we have to simplify it first before doing the fractions?¡± ¡°Huh? You can do that?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t even finish the question even though I wrote an entire piece of paper. How many rows did you guys write?¡± ¡°Mine is the right way. None of yours are right!¡± ¡°You have the cheek to say that after holding it in for half an hour?¡± ¡°I saw it. Your last page was empty.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have enough time. Many people don¡¯t have enough time as well, alright?¡± Discussions about the last two questions started again. No one cared if Lei Jin wrote the last two questions correctly. Luo Feng¡¯s voice was drowned out by the voices of the other students. Lei Jin couldn¡¯t hear what Luo Feng said, so he could only hide to the side, feeling depressed. Ai Ting Ya walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side and said, ¡°I heard it just now. Lei Jin¡¯s solving process was more than 50% correct, so he should be able to get points.¡± ¡°I think so too.¡± Luo Feng pinched his chin in confusion, ¡°Aren¡¯t the questions this time very simple? Why is everyone arguing so intensely?¡± This time, his voice was heard. The students turned their heads and said in disbelief, ¡°Are you kidding me, Luo Feng? How can you say that it¡¯s simple? Are you even human?¡± ¡°How long did it take you to do the papers?¡± ¡°I know!¡± A girl who was in the same exam room as Luo Feng raised her hand and said. ¡°I saw Luo Feng sleeping on the table during the last 20 minutes.¡± The others did not even have enough time to answer the questions, but he still had time to sleep?! ¡°Is it very strange?¡± Luo Feng was confused. He turned to ask Ai Tingya, ¡°How long did you spend on the big questions?¡± ¡°10 minutes on average.¡± Ai Tingya said calmly. They were petrified on the spot when they heard that. As expected, the top students were creatures from another world. They could not be compared to commoners. They suddenly felt that it was too stupid to argue whether they were right or wrong in front of a top student! ¡°Hehehe, as expected of the male and female duo in our class.¡± on The awkward yet polite smiles on the students¡¯ faces disappeared as they picked up their books and started chomping down them, leaving Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looking at each other, wondering if they had said something wrong. ¡°Why do I feel like our classmates don¡¯t want to talk to us?¡± Ai Tingya asked curiously. ¡°I have the same feeling. Why?¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t quite understand. ¡­ While the students were lamenting over the difficulty of the questions, the teachers were sighing as they read the papers. The scores were still unbearable to look at even at this important juncture. Teacher Yu was nearly dead from the world with the thick test paper in her hand. Don¡¯t be angry. No one would care about you even if you get angry and hurt yourself. She really did not want to take another look and urgently needed to calm down. Then, she glanced at the paper in the form teacher¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Teacher Zhang, which examination room are you looking at?¡± ¡°It¡¯s from the Class One examination room. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Teacher Zhang didn¡¯t even look up. Class One examination room, wasn¡¯t that Luo Feng¡¯s examination room? Teacher Yu felt like she contracted a ¡°I won¡¯t feel good if I don¡¯t praise Luo Feng¡± illness so she couldn¡¯t help but to ask, ¡°Did you see Luo Feng¡¯s test paper? How was his answer?¡± Teacher Zhang said angrily. ¡°I messed up the sequence. I don¡¯t know which one belongs to Luo Feng.¡± The quiet office was instantly filled with gunpowder as soon as these words were spoken. Chapter 41 - 41 Luo Feng Is Both Studious And A Teacher? 41 Luo Feng Is Both Studious And A Teacher? ¡°Teacher Yu, don¡¯t just keep staring at Luo Feng¡¯s paper. The average score of your class wasn¡¯t high in the last exam, if I remember correctly.¡± Teacher Zhang sneered. Everyone knew that Luo Feng from Class One had scored full marks in all subjects and was sitting in the first seat in the examination room ever since the Oath-Taking Rally. Teacher Zhang could not stand Teacher Yu¡¯s smugness. ¡°I treat the students equally. I didn¡¯t expect Luo Feng to be enlightened so quickly. Thank you for your reminder, Teacher Zhang. I¡¯ll be more careful in the future,¡± Teacher Yu replied. No matter what Teacher Zhang said, she would shut up immediately whenever Luo Feng was mentioned. She had been in the industry for almost 20 years and had never seen a genius who scored full marks in all subjects after all. ¡°Hehe, work hard then. I hope your class¡¯s average score can increase a little.¡± Teacher Zhang replied unhappily. ¡°Thank you for your auspicious words. I also hope that your class will produce a top student.¡± Teacher Yu smiled. Luo Feng¡¯s results alone were enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life. Hence, Teacher Yu could sit firmly on the high ground and treat Teacher Zhang as being jealous. However, Teacher Zhang¡¯s words also reminded her that many small fries were covered up under Luo Feng¡¯s halo of full marks for all subjects. It was completely impossible for him to pull up the average alone. The other students had to improve their results with haste. Teacher Yu cracked her knuckles at the thought of this. She had to use high-pressure methods from now on! ¡­ ¡°Boohoohoo, where do I get the face to go back and tell my father? He specially took a break from work to watch over my studies at home. I¡¯ve worked hard for nothing this month.¡± Lei Jin sat in his seat and covered his face, sighing in self-disgust when the test results were about to be announced. ¡°It¡¯s not as bad as you think. I think your math results must have improved significantly.¡± Luo Feng comforted him. The answers for the Chinese Language Examination were categorized as comprehension-type questions. One could score as long as they were somewhat close to it. Mathematics was different. Right and wrong were as obvious as day. Some students relied on Mathematics to score. Lei Jin could jump from the lower bottom ranks to the higher ranks if his math score increased by 60 points. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t comfort me. I know my level best. I¡¯ve let you and Sister-in-law down.¡± Lei Jin was so depressed that he couldn¡¯t raise any confidence. He trusted his judgment more no matter how Luo Feng persuaded him. ¡°We¡¯ve just had different final answers. What I wrote should be similar to what you wrote.¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t lie at all. However, Lei Jin refused to listen. Luo Feng was thinking about how to cheer Lei Jin up when a classmate suddenly appeared at the door and shouted. ¡°Lei Jin, Teacher Yu wants you to go to the office.¡± Lei Jin shuddered, his face filled with horror, as though he was facing the end of the world. Everyone in the class knew very well what it meant to be called to the office alone by a teacher on the eve of the results. They looked at Lei Jin sympathetically and were worried that they would be the next to be called. ¡°What did I tell you!¡± Lei Jin stood up in resignation. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m going!¡± Luo Feng watched Lei Jin leave and was slightly speechless. He was only going to the office, not the execution ground. Why didn¡¯t Lei Jin believe him? ¡­ Teacher¡¯s office. Teacher Yu held the test paper in her hand and frowned. Soon, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably. Her crying and laughing expression was like an AI robot that had lost control. ¡°Teacher, why are you looking for me?¡± Lei Jin walked in dejectedly. Teacher Yu immediately smiled when she saw him. She took out her most amiable voice and said, ¡°Lei Jin, how do you think you did this time?¡± ¡°I think I¡­ I didn¡¯t do well¡­¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Teacher Yu continued to smile. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know either. I just feel so¡­¡± ¡°Why do you feel this way?¡± Teacher Yu continued to laugh. Lei Jin¡¯s heart was already dead. He felt all the hair on his body stand on end seeing Teacher Yu¡¯s unexplained gentleness. ¡°Teacher Yu, if you have something to say, just say it. Don¡¯t keep smiling at me. I¡¯m afraid!¡± He begged. ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± Teacher Yu said fiercely. Her good mood instantly turned gloomy. ¡°Am I going to eat you?¡± ¡°What do you want from me?¡± ¡°You did well this time. Take a look at it yourself.¡± Teacher Yu handed Lei Jin¡¯s paper to him. Lei Jin opened the paper and widened his eyes in disbelief. ¡°118?¡± He was surprised and repeatedly confirmed that the name and student number were his. His scores usually hovered around 30 to 40 points so he really couldn¡¯t believe that he had not only passed but had also scored more than 100 points! ¡°Am I dreaming?!¡± Lei Jin pinched his face hard, tears flowing out of his eyes from the pain. ¡°Is this really my paper?¡± Teacher Yu did not believe it at first. If not for the fact that the average standard of the eighth examination room was low, so low that there was no one he could copy from, she would have suspected that Lei Jin had cheated too. However, this thought only lasted for a moment. She still believed in her student¡¯s character and would not lie to herself. She firmly believed that it was Lei Jin¡¯s strength now that she saw this child¡¯s silly appearance. ¡°Lei Jin, you improved too fast. Can you tell me how you did it?¡± Teacher Yu asked sincerely. She really wanted to promote it to the entire class and raise the average score if Lei Jin¡¯s learning method was feasible. ¡°It¡¯s Luo Feng!¡± Lei Jin read out that person¡¯s name gratefully. ¡°I go to Luo Feng¡¯s house every day after the evening self-study. I¡¯m tutored for at least an hour before going back. By the way, Ai Tingya studies with us too.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Teacher Yu nodded in surprise. She seemed to have thought of something and found Ai Tingya¡¯s test paper. Her results had indeed improved a lot. Ai Tingya seemed to have gotten the concepts in geometry right even though it was something she struggled with in the past. Teacher Yu asked. ¡°Is Luo Feng good at teaching?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Lei Jin nodded heavily. ¡°I could understand and memorize the knowledge points that I didn¡¯t understand in class after he explained it.¡± Teacher Yu suddenly felt a little weird when she heard that. She taught mathematics and was the form teacher of Class One, but Class One¡¯s mathematics results were always not good. ¡°Does Luo Feng teach better than me?¡± Teacher Yu regretted it the moment she asked. Why was she competing with her student¡­ ¡°Hmm¡­ Do you want to hear the truth or a lie¡­¡± Lei Jin¡¯s attitude had already explained everything. Teacher Yu was deeply hurt. ¡°Forget it. Go back to the classroom and help me bring the lesson plan over first.¡± ¡°But the next class is physical education¡­¡± ¡°Your physical education teacher is sick.¡± He was already in the third year of high school, yet he still wanted to attend physical education class. Teacher Yu originally wanted to let them off, but she suddenly experienced her first sense of danger in her career from a student after teaching Mathematics for almost twenty years. She really couldn¡¯t accept the fact that she wasn¡¯t as good as Luo Feng in teaching. ¡°No! How can I be angry with a student about this as a teacher! I have to keep improving and learning! I have to see what¡¯s so special about Luo Feng¡¯s teachings and learn from him humbly!¡± Teacher Yu encouraged herself and ran towards the classroom in her high heels. Chapter 42 - 42 I Really Cannot Learn Your Way Of Teaching 42 I Really Cannot Learn Your Way Of Teaching ¡°Continue your ruckus! The other classes were reading quietly on my way here. You guys are the loudest!¡± ¡°Do you think you did very well this time? Look at your results! I¡¯m too embarrassed to look at them. Your average scores are much worse than Class Two¡¯s, yet you still want to go to PE class!¡± ¡°You¡¯ll have PE classes every day when you go to university! Be more rooted in your studies.¡± Teacher Yu stood on the podium fiercely. She rushed to the classroom to stop the students running to the field when the results of the exam were out before she could accept the praise of the teachers in the office. She wanted everyone to come back for math class. Everyone, other than Luo Feng, Ai Tingya, and Lei Jin, lowered their heads, not daring to look up at Teacher Yu. ¡°Why are you all looking at the table? Are you able to understand anything from it?¡± They raised their heads. ¡°Why are you all looking at me? Are there words on my face? Look at the blackboard!¡± The students were on the brink of tears. You¡¯re the teacher. Everything you say is right. ¡°Luo Feng.¡± Teacher Yu took the initiative to walk down the podium and said, ¡°Go up and talk about the exam papers.¡± Hm? Luo Feng looked around in surprise and realized that his classmates were all looking at him. He really didn¡¯t hear it wrongly. ¡°Alright.¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t feel troubled. He picked up the paper and walked to the podium. Teacher Yu crossed her arms and said as she walked to the last row, ¡°Student Luo Feng scored full marks in all subjects again. He¡¯s the number one in the city! Everyone, listen to Student Luo Feng¡¯s method to obtain the solution.¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t know which side the sun rose from today, but Teacher Yu actually wanted him to go on stage to explain how to do the questions. He looked at the paper and thought for a moment. ¡°Which question do you want to hear first?¡± ¡°Huh¡ª¡± The students booed, not knowing what Luo Feng was up to. Teacher Yu said sternly, ¡°Follow the sequence. It¡¯s not like we¡¯re ordering a song.¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Teacher Yu. I don¡¯t know which question is more difficult for the other students because I got everything right so I want to ask first. I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be enough time if I have to explain every question in detail.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Teacher Yu was speechless. He was actually f*cking right. However, Luo Feng was telling the truth, so no one knew what expression to put on. ¡°Lei Jin, give me your paper.¡± Luo Feng explained. ¡°His foundation is not bad. It will most likely be a difficult problem if he doesn¡¯t get it right.¡± He knew the standards of the people he had taught. The other students did not know how many points Lei Jin had scored. They only remembered his sorry state as he hung behind the class. ¡°No way, 40 points can be representative of us?¡± A male student said unhappily. ¡°Lei Jin scored 118 this time. He got all the fundamental questions correct even though his marks were not outstanding.¡± Luo Feng added. ¡°¡­¡± The boy glanced at his 89 points and awkwardly covered his face with his hand, pretending not to have said anything. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start now.¡± Luo Feng picked up the chalk and wrote down the detailed solution and test point on the blackboard. Luo Feng¡¯s voice was the only thing heard in the classroom. The students had the mentality of watching a show. All of them crossed their arms and leaned back in their chairs, quietly waiting to see what Luo Feng could say. Gradually, they picked up their pens and leaned against the seats to compare their answers. Everyone¡¯s faces were very serious, and they pricked up their ears, afraid of missing the main point. Even Teacher Yu nodded repeatedly as she listened. She borrowed a pen and paper to memorize Luo Feng¡¯s unique train of thought. ¡°Look here. If you don¡¯t know where to start, figure out the teacher¡¯s intentions. They¡¯re using that knowledge point to narrow the range bit by bit! Of course, the premise is that you have to remember the contents of the textbook.¡± ¡°First, we have to simplify this part. Did you get stuck here? Isn¡¯t there a condition here? Put it in and simplify it again. The answer will be out.¡± Luo Feng stood on the stage like a small sun. His classmates were like sunflowers. His classmates¡¯ gazes would be on him wherever he was. However, Luo Feng could clearly feel that there was a different gaze hidden under the podium. ¡°Everyone, digest for two minutes before we continue with the big questions. The next question is the most important.¡± Luo Feng stood at the side to avoid blocking the board. He saw Ai Tingya holding her cheek and staring at him happily taking advantage of this small break. Anyone would know that this girl¡¯s strong gaze was not focused on the test paper. The other students were busy digesting the wrong questions. She pouted and secretly sent him a flying kiss. Heh, silly girl, you¡¯re getting bolder when you think no one can see you. Luo Feng smiled evilly. He walked onto the stage again and said, ¡°Student Ai Tingya, don¡¯t be distracted in class.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s heart almost jumped out of her chest. She subconsciously thought that Luo Feng was going to follow the tuition rules. Luo Feng was the one who would be embarrassed when they had their little fun in front of Lei Jin alone. However, she would be the one who would be embarrassed in front of the entire class if they were to continue that fun now. ¡°Come up and write down the steps for the next question. Write your method.¡± Luo Feng said. Ai Tingya¡¯s wildly beating heart calmed down a little. Fortunately, he still knew his limits. ¡°It¡¯s not tiring to work as a couple!¡± The students joined in the commotion, and the classroom was filled with cheerful laughter. Ai Tingya¡¯s face was so red that it was about to bleed. She glared at Luo Feng and quickly wrote down the steps to solve the problem before quickly returning to her seat. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t laugh. Let¡¯s continue with the question. This question is very classic!¡± The students became serious the moment Luo Feng spoke. ¡°There¡¯s a question like this almost every year. It¡¯ll be a free point question if you understand it. You¡¯ll be far behind if you don¡¯t.¡± Luo Feng shook his head like a teacher and explained. Then, he waved his hand and said, ¡°Student Ai Tingya, it¡¯s your turn to come up and explain your thoughts to the students.¡± ¡°Oh, oh, oh¡ª¡± The students laughed again. Ai Tingya stood up and walked onto the stage before her butt warmed up her seat. She explained her method in a soft voice. Luo Feng disassembled and analyzed the key points from the side at the right time. The students listened to the math questions as if they were listening to gossip. Teacher Yu stared at the two of them with a dark expression. Why are they flirting in public? It¡¯s a pity that Luo Feng didn¡¯t become a dog food wholesaler. However, she gradually blended into the atmosphere on account of the good explanations. ¡°Ai Tingya, tell me if you have any other solutions.¡± ¡°What do you think is the main point of this question, Ai Tingya?¡± ¡°Very good. Student Ai Tingya¡¯s solution is more intuitive. Pass it around later.¡± Things got out of hand after he called her once. Ai Tingya seemed to have become Luo Feng¡¯s teaching assistant. Her butt almost couldn¡¯t touch the stool as she kept answering questions. Teacher Yu was a little unhappy at first. I asked you to solve the questions, but you¡¯re flirting?! Can you show some respect to the class? However, her frown relaxed because she realized that the timing that Luo Feng called on Ai Tingya was always the most important part. The students were like Pavlov¡¯s dogs. Their spirits would be lifted once they heard Ai Tingya¡¯s name, and they would remember the main points more firmly. Alright¡­ Teacher Yu had to admit that she couldn¡¯t learn Luo Feng¡¯s way of teaching. She couldn¡¯t possibly drag her husband over¡­ Chapter 43 - 43 The Citys Number One, Destined Top Scorer Of The College Entrance Examination 43 The City¡¯s Number One, Destined Top Scorer Of The College Entrance Examination ¡°Alright, the entire paper will be finished after Ai Tingya answers the last question.¡± Luo Feng crossed his arms and watched Ai Tingya write the answer down. Ai Tingya quickly wrote down the answer and sat back down tiredly. ¡°Your answer is perfect. Thank you, Ai Tingya. Everyone, clap!¡± Luo Feng took the lead to encourage Ai Tingya. The revision of the test paper ended successfully. Teacher Yu nodded in relief. ¡°Teacher Luo, look at how hard Ai Tingya worked. Shouldn¡¯t you give her a reward?¡± A girl said with a love-struck expression. She was the famous fan of idol dramas in her class, happier to watch others fall in love than to fall in love herself. She raised her hand to support Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, the star student couple. Currently, her greatest wish was for them to get married on the spot. ¡°Of course I have to give Student Ai Tingya a reward, but I won¡¯t show you because she is shy.¡± Luo Feng smiled at Ai Tingya. ¡°Ah!¡± The girls below screamed. ¡°It¡¯s so sweet!¡± ¡°It¡¯s so sweet. I need insulin urgently.¡± ¡°I also want to have a sincere relationship. Who is willing to be my girlfriend?¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Teacher Yu quickly went on stage to stabilize the situation. As expected, she really should not have high hopes for Luo Feng. If she had any hope for him, he would do something unexpected just like during the previous Oath-Taking Rally. ¡°Thank you for your explanation, very good!¡± Teacher Yu clapped her hands. Unexpectedly, there was complete silence below. The students looked at her like ice sculptures. They were expressionless and not moving. That sense of danger came again¡­ Teacher Yu forced a smile and said, ¡°Students, you can ask questions now if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand.¡± There was silence below. All the students buried their heads and searched seriously for something they did not understand. Everyone could actually understand, much to their surprise. They would be confident in answering 80% of them if they did similar questions again. ¡°There¡¯s no question?¡± Teacher Yu asked stubbornly. She did not want to believe that she was really inferior to her student. At this moment, a girl raised her trembling hand. Teacher Yu looked like she had seen her savior. ¡°What¡¯s your question?¡± ¡°Teacher, I want to go to the toilet,¡± the girl said with a red face. ¡°I was listening too seriously just now and didn¡¯t feel anything.¡± ¡°¡­Go on.¡± Teacher Yu was on the brink of tears. So this was the half-time break¡­ The classroom continued to remain silent. Some students were consolidating their knowledge, while others looked out of the window and waited for the bell to ring. No one cared about how sad Teacher Yu was on the stage. ¡°Class dismissed. Free period.¡± She said faintly and floated back to the office with her things. ¡­ Teacher¡¯s office. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Teacher Yu let out a long sigh, her entire body emitting a sad aura. Teacher Zhang from Class Two, who had been at odds with Teacher Yu earlier, was very puzzled when she saw her state. The first and second place in the entire grade are already in your class. What else do you have to be sad about? ¡°Teacher Yu, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Teacher Zhang asked with concern. ¡°Ah? It¡¯s nothing. I just feel that time passes quickly and I can¡¯t keep up with young people¡­¡± Teacher Yu looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. Teacher Zhang did not understand. The teachers and students of the entire year were all tense. She actually had the mood to grieve here? Was it really so easy to have the number one student in the entire city in her class? Teacher Zhang felt that she had to emphasize her ethics to Teacher Yu given the responsibility of a teacher. ¡°Teacher Yu, you can¡¯t do this. Even though your class gave birth to a number one in the city, the other students still require supervision. You have to treat everyone equally! You can¡¯t spend your time being nosy!¡± ¡°What number one in the city?¡± Teacher Yu asked curiously. ¡°You still don¡¯t know?¡± Another teacher passing by said enviously, ¡°Your class¡¯ Luo Feng is ranked first in the city this time. Take a look!¡± The exam was a city-wide exam. Luo Feng was ranked first among the 60,000 candidates from the 15 high schools! ¡°Really!¡± Teacher Yu was revived. She held the list and looked at it again and again. She was so anxious in the class just now and didn¡¯t have time to look at the rankings. Who would have thought that Luo Feng would leave such a big surprise! ¡°Congratulations, Teacher Yu. Luo Feng has reserved a spot for the top scorer of this city!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious. I¡¯ve never met a student who scored full marks with such a stable performance.¡± ¡°Ai Tingya from your class is second in the grade and sixth in the city. Teacher Yu, you¡¯re going to be rich.¡± ¡°This might be the best batch of students you¡¯ve ever led.¡± The teachers sent their congratulations one after another. Teacher Zhang, who originally wanted to comfort Teacher Yu, immediately lost her mood and said unhappily, ¡°It¡¯s not a good habit to favor one over the other. You have to hurry up and raise the average score of the class. Your Class One¡¯s average score this time is still lower than ours.¡± Unfortunately, no one was listening to him at all. They were all surrounding Teacher Yu to ask for revision methods. Teacher Yu felt like she had seen the light of her teaching career again¡ª I¡¯m going to achieve the title of teaching top students in the city! ¡­ The entire third year of high school entered an intense revision period, preparing for the second set of prelims after the first prelims ended successfully. Lei Jin¡¯s confidence doubled, and his entire body flickered with confidence during this period. Sun Bi was overjoyed and brought Luo Feng¡¯s family out for a few meals. Lei Jin¡¯s father drank a bit too much and held Father Luo¡¯s hand as he cried. He said that his son had never gotten such good results since he started school. When Lei Jin heard his father¡¯s monologue, he, who had never thought of his parents¡¯ feelings, also felt a lump in his throat and hugged him as he cried. His determination to prepare for the exam became even stronger. In his tense revision life, Luo Feng heard from Lei Jin that something had happened to his father at the construction site previously. The items on the higher floors were not tied tightly and fell down, smashing a huge pit in the cement floor. Fortunately, no one was injured or killed. Luo Feng smiled without saying anything. In short, even though the past week had been tough, it was mostly filled with good news. Everyone seemed to be moving in a good direction. Luo Feng originally thought so too. However, he realized that Ai Tingya had become very strange recently. She was often distracted in class. Sometimes, she could not hear him even if he called her. She was often careless during tuition and could even make mistakes in the calculation questions. Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s state and felt that she had something huge on her mind, so she couldn¡¯t divert her attention to other things. There was nothing worse than this state for college entrance examination students. Luo Feng was very worried about Ai Tingya, but she refused to tell him even after asking twice. She only forced a smile and said that she was fine. He would be crazy to believe her. The more she said that there was nothing wrong, the more trouble there was based on Luo Feng¡¯s understanding of Ai Tingya. Her stubborn personality was still the same even though he had successfully helped to change her by a large margin. ¡°I really can¡¯t do anything to her.¡± Luo Feng went straight to the orphanage after asking 23 times to no avail. Chapter 44 - 44 The Orphanage Is In Danger, A New Path to Wealth 44 The Orphanage Is In Danger, A New Path to Wealth There were only a few things that could worry Ai Tingya and the orphanage was the existence she cared about the most. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Ai Tingya flipped her wet hair and looked at Luo Feng at the door in surprise. Then, she realized that he was pulling a cart of stationery behind him. The flatbed cart was piled high with pen and paper, acrylic paints, and drawing boards. He probably almost emptied the stationery shop. Xiao Fei stopped helping Ai Tingya wet her hair after seeing so much good stuff. She threw down the water ladle and ran over. She was even happier to see Luo Feng than her biological mother. Luo Feng handed the things to them and walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side. He rolled up his sleeves and took a water ladle. He scooped half a drop of warm water and poured it on Ai Tingya¡¯s long hair to wash away the white foam. The orphanage would not have a high-end water heater of course. If she wanted to wash her hair, she had to boil a basin of water and wet her hair herself. The intense studies in the Third High School only allowed half a day a week for personal time for the students, so the three of them agreed not to do the tuition on Sundays. Ai Tingya did not expect Luo Feng to come to the orphanage. She felt Luo Feng¡¯s gentle movements and lowered her head, allowing his hand to pass through her hair. After washing the foam, Luo Feng took a clean towel and helped Ai Tingya dry the excess water bit by bit. Ai Tingya did not use a hairdryer and let her hair dry in the wind in order to save electricity. ¡°Why are you suddenly here? You even brought so many things,¡± Ai Tingya asked again. ¡°Little Tingya has kept a secret from me. I¡¯m here to find an answer.¡± Luo Feng smiled. Ai Tingya¡¯s face darkened. She clearly didn¡¯t want to talk to Luo Feng anymore. Luo Feng took her hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go ask Xiao Fei if you don¡¯t tell me. I think she¡¯ll be happy to tell me seeing how much paint there is.¡± This could not be helped. Luo Feng would not have to spend any effort if Ai Tingya was willing to say it obediently. Ai Tingya finally could not dissuade Luo Feng after hesitating for a moment. The two of them walked under the apple tree. Ai Tingya slowly said, ¡°Actually, the owner of the cake shop that the orphanage worked with previously is going back to his hometown and has sublet the shop to someone else. In the past, we would buy ingredients from the cake shop to make some cakes and sell them in the shop. Even though the money isn¡¯t much, it¡¯s a very important income to us. However, the new owner asked us to share the profits with him.¡± Luo Feng asked curiously, ¡°Is this considered a part-time job? You don¡¯t have enough living expenses?¡± ¡°No.¡± Ai Tingya shook her head and said, ¡°Our living expenses come from government funding and social donations, but it will only last until the age of 18. We will have a student loan when we reach adulthood and if we get into university. Those who don¡¯t get in will go out and find a job. We can save the income from selling cakes for future use. You know that it¡¯s very difficult for minors to find a job.¡± Cake making was a part-time job that could be completed in the orphanage. Even the youngest child could save some money as long as they knew how to sprinkle sugar beans. This was how Ai Tingya saved her university tuition fees. However, this job was about to end. ¡°So it¡¯s because of this.¡± Luo Feng touched Ai Tingya¡¯s head with heartache and said helplessly, ¡°When will you learn to rely on me?¡± Luo Feng felt that Ai Tingya was good at everything except spending money. He would be nagged at for a long time even if he bought her an expensive dinner. Luo Feng didn¡¯t make any more large sums of money after repairing the basketball court. The small change was negligible. It would be funny if word got out that he had a cheat to earn some money. This time, he finally had a chance to earn money. He had to seize it. However, this was a huge burden on Ai Tingya. She had known that she had to rely on herself ever since she could understand things. It was too difficult on her to rely on anything. ¡°Alright, you know what happened now. Go back and rest. We still have class tomorrow.¡± She was prepared to send Luo Feng off before going to see Dean Du to discuss a solution. Luo Feng avoided the situation. ¡°Since I know, I definitely won¡¯t stand by and do nothing. Where¡¯s Dean Du? I have a plan to discuss with her.¡± After saying that, he walked into the building. Ai Tingya knew that she could not dissuade him. She pulled Luo Feng to the basketball court at the back of the building. The basketball court had been built long ago. Two children were playing with a little yellow dog. Dean Du sat not far from them, listening to the laughter and reading. Luo Feng saw that her sideburns had turned much whiter, and the wrinkles on her face were as deep as knife carvings. She must have worried a lot because of the cake shop. The two of them walked over and described what had happened. ¡°Director, what are your plans?¡± Ai Tingya asked worriedly. ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll apply to the higher-ups and get the government to help find a place.¡± Dean Du sighed and said. Even so, very few shops were willing to take over such an unrewarding task. The cake shop would be implicated if there was a problem with the biscuits and bread made by the orphanage after all. ¡°Dean Du, since we can¡¯t find a suitable place, we can totally open our own dessert shop.¡± Luo Feng expressed his thoughts. ¡°But doing business is not easy, and we don¡¯t have that much money,¡± Dean Du said. She had sold vegetables for the orphanage in the past. There were many people in the orphanage, so it did not take much effort to grow and collect vegetables. However, the competition in the market was very intense. Newbies would only be bullied. Even though it looked like a simple grocery shopping trip, they would still encounter malicious bargaining. Dean Du felt that it was a pity that the children¡¯s hard work was wasted, so she had no choice but to take another path. She also knew that doing business made money, but the orphanage really could not afford to lose money. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I have money.¡± Luo Feng seemed to see money waving at him. He could not wait to make a loss when doing business. He would invest money to recoup his losses and invest more money to recoup his losses. There would be income from profits, and there would be a foundation for losses. Any business he did would definitely make a profit! Dean Du and Ai Tingya felt that this scene was familiar. ¡°Little Luo, I heard from Xiaoya that your family¡¯s conditions are average. Where did you get so much money?¡± Dean Du asked. ¡°I¡­ I made some money from my previous investments, so opening a small shop shouldn¡¯t be a problem¡± laughed Luo Feng, ¡°It¡¯s going to rot in the bank anyway. I might as well put the money where it could be used well.¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t let you take the risk alone. I¡¯d better apply for some funds,¡± Dean Du insisted. ¡°Little Luo, you¡¯re a good child, so we can¡¯t let you suffer.¡± Luo Feng shook his head: ¡°Dean Du, you¡¯re treating me like an outsider. You¡¯re Tingya¡¯s family, so you¡¯re naturally my family too. I¡¯m just contributing for my family, how can I be considered to have suffered a loss? How about this, you apply for funds. I¡¯ll add on if it¡¯s not enough.¡± He had long thought about it. Dean Du would not have to worry so much that her hair would turn white if the funds were really so easy to apply for. He could only go along with them for now. Both sides took a step back. Dean Du readily accepted the suggestion. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do as you say.¡± She touched her burning eyes and held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand in relief. ¡°Xiao Ya, Xiao Luo is a good child. The two of you have to stick together. Take care of each other and don¡¯t quarrel.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes were also red. Luo Feng stood at the side awkwardly, feeling that he had let them down. Chapter 45 - 45 Let Darling Teach You How to Open a Milk Tea Shop 45 Let Darling Teach You How to Open a Milk Tea Shop Dean Du sat alone at the desk in the room, holding her forehead in sadness after sending Luo Feng off that night. Ai Tingya was worried about Dean Du so walked to her room worriedly after she got the other children to sleep. ¡°Xiaoya? Come in and sit.¡± Ai Tingya had just stood in front of the door when Dean Du¡¯s tired voice came from inside. Ai Tingya pushed open the door. ¡°Dean, you¡¯re still awake?¡± Dean Du shook her head and said, ¡°Sit. I have something to tell you.¡± Dean Du had not slept well ever since the original cake shop changed owners. She was in a very bad state, like a piece of decayed tree bark that would collapse at any time. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart ached for the Dean, but she was too weak to help. The two of them sat facing each other for a while before Dean Du said faintly, ¡°Luo Feng told me about his thoughts on the dessert shop after dinner today.¡± ¡°But we haven¡¯t confirmed that Luo Feng has to fork out the money yet. Didn¡¯t you say that you will apply to the Authorities first? Perhaps the funding application might be approved,¡± Ai Tingya said. Dean Du revealed a tired smile and said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve already applied. It was rejected as expected.¡± The government¡¯s functions were limited. It could ensure that the children in the orphanage would not have to worry about food and clothing at best. They relied on social donations for everything else, but they only accepted them once a year before the new year. ¡°I told Little Luo this because I hope he won¡¯t interfere too much. A child his age is the most arrogant and thinks of everything very simply. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll lose his confidence after a setback.¡± Dean Du explained. Ai Tingya¡¯s expression darkened. She felt that he had an omnipotent power, perhaps because Luo Feng had taken care of her too well. However, if she thought about it carefully, Luo Feng was just a high school student with good grades. She was sensitive and felt that Dean Du was blaming her for telling Luo Feng about the orphanage after explaining so much to her. Dean Du changed the topic unexpectedly and continued on. ¡°But Little Luo seems to have realized these things. He said that if he wants to open a dessert shop, he wants to give a portion of his shares to the orphanage. This child is too smart. I can¡¯t hide anything from him.¡± ¡°What did you do then?¡± ¡°I agreed,¡± Dean Du said with a bitter smile. It wasn¡¯t that she was easily persuaded but that Luo Feng had given her a reason she couldn¡¯t refuse. ¡°Guess what Little Luo told me?¡± Dean Du leaned back in his chair. ¡°He said that it¡¯s a good opportunity for the children. Aren¡¯t the children in the orphanage all outstanding like you? Many of them might have to work after high school. He said that this shop will be their guarantee if anyone is willing to enter the dessert industry.¡± Dean Du would agree to any condition for the sake of the children in the orphanage, not to mention that Luo Feng was giving them half of the shop for free. ¡°Little Luo asked me to take a look at the address of the new shop tomorrow and start transferring money,¡± Dean Du continued. ¡°He asked me to hide it from you first so that it would not affect your revision. He wanted to tell you when the shop opens. He¡¯s really a good person.¡± Ai Tingya felt a warm feeling in her heart hearing Dean Du¡¯s sigh. Luo Feng was even considerate of her feelings. ¡°I understand. Let¡¯s do as Luo Feng thinks.¡± Ai Tingya stood up and appraised. ¡°This is indeed our best choice at the moment.¡± Ai Tingya did not go back to sleep after leaving Dean Du¡¯s room. Instead, she went to the library. She was very grateful for Luo Feng¡¯s help to the orphanage, but just as Dean Du said, Luo Feng might have thought too simply about opening the shop. She had to think of a complete business model in order to avoid making a loss. She had to do something! ¡­ The next morning, Luo Feng saw the two huge dark circles under Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes the moment he entered the classroom. ¡°What did you do last night?¡± Luo Feng handed the breakfast to Ai Tingya. Today, it was a ham sandwich, clear tea, and the staple boiled eggs. Ai Tingya exchanged an entire notebook for breakfast and said, ¡°This is the plan I wrote.¡± Luo Feng flipped through it and said, ¡°Not bad, Little Tingya. You¡¯re already thinking of helping me manage my business so early.¡± He quickly went through the proposal. It ranged from the location of the shop to the selling price of the main product. She even suggested hiring a professional pastry chef as the main sign board and drew a few sketches for the renovation of the shop. Ai Tingya would definitely be a big shot if she played a simulation entrepreneurial game. However, Luo Feng was a man who had started a successful business after all. He would have been a big boss now if it weren¡¯t for his illness. Ai Tingya was still a high school student, there were many things that she did by the book and her vision couldn¡¯t escape the limitations of the lack of experience. If he opened a shop according to Ai Tingya¡¯s plan, the shop would be able to survive. However, it would be a couple¡¯s small shop at best. The kind where they would have to change locations if the landlord increased the rent. He would not make a loss and could earn some small money. No! This was the opposite of his original plan! His original plan was to invest, make a profit, lose money, invest more, and increase the profit! The faster he lost, the better! He would really make money lying down! However, Ai Tingya might become very sad if things went according to the original plan. Luo Feng knew best how strong-headed the future female CEO was. ¡°Let me give you some pointers since you¡¯re so sincere.¡± Luo Feng said seriously. ¡°What do you have to do when you receive guidance?¡± She had to call him by an intimate name. Ai Tingya laughed. ¡°Darling, can you tell me what you think?¡± ¡°Hehe, first of all, the budget for hiring a professional pastry chef is limited. Moreover, we don¡¯t have any connections. We will only be able to hire a medium-level pastry chef who makes similar snacks to other cake shops at most. It won¡¯t be competitive in the market.¡± ¡°Besides when thinking about the cost, snacks and cakes are all fresh. Their shelf life is very short. To be honest, this might be a little expensive for a new shop that doesn¡¯t have any regular customers. Therefore, I think a beverage shop is more suitable than a cake shop!¡± ¡°Finally, your shop design is much prettier than the old dessert shop on the street. It has the vigor of the young, but it doesn¡¯t make people¡¯s eyes light up.¡± Ai Tingya was entranced. ¡°How will it be able to make the other people¡¯s eyes light up?¡± ¡°Simple and high-end renovations!¡± Luo Feng smiled, ¡°It is the most eye-catching of all!¡± He picked up a pen and outlined a simple bar and seat on the paper. It was separated by a black frame. The black, white, and gray colors could make one feel comfortable. ¡°The tables and chairs at the bar are wood-colored, so they won¡¯t look so stiff,¡± added Luo Feng. Ai Tingya held the sketch and exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. I¡¯ve never seen such a beverage shop! Luo Feng, you¡¯re so awesome!¡± Of course it was beautiful. This was the most popular renovation style in the future. The competition in the beverage shops was not so intense yet. Luo Feng thought that since he wanted to do it well, he might as well set up a brand and occupy the local market first for long-term development. In the future, he will open franchise shops all over the country! Chapter 46 - 46 We Want to Be An Entrepreneur Couple In The Future! 46 We Want to Be An Entrepreneur Couple In The Future! ¡°Luo Feng, what type of milk tea are we going to make?¡± Ai Tingya asked curiously. She was already completely attracted by Luo Feng¡¯s plan and couldn¡¯t help but want to continue listening. Luo Feng cleared his throat: ¡°What did you call me?¡± ¡°Darling~¡± ¡°You repeated the term.¡± ¡°¡­Hubby,¡± Ai Tingya said sweetly. ¡°Hurry up and tell me. Otherwise, class will start.¡± Luo Feng continued, ¡°Currently, the milk tea on the market is basically made of milk tea powder. It¡¯s all chemical, and you¡¯ll get tired of it after drinking it a few times.¡± Ai Tingya nodded in agreement. She had always been puzzled that a cup of milk tea made from powder in the shop would actually cost three yuan! The juice powder she bought for eight yuan was enough for the entire orphanage to drink for two days. Luo Feng had bought her a cup before, and she didn¡¯t want to drink it again after drinking it once. ¡°Our shop has to use fresh milk, fresh fruits, cream, and so on. We definitely have to use real materials if we take the high-end route. Only then would the customers feel at ease when they see it and pay. What¡¯s more, shop assistants can quickly get used to it after simple training, saving the salary of a professional pastry chef. We can also launch new products every quarter to constantly attract our customers.¡± Luo Feng thought about the dazzling array of milk tea brands in the future. Xing Miaomiao liked to try new stuff when he was with her in his previous life. She would try every new product launch and throw it to Luo Feng after taking a sip. During that period of time, Luo Feng¡¯s face was clearly round. It was more than enough for him to be a milk tea evaluator. It was too easy for him to pick a few hot favorites. ¡°You¡¯re so awesome!¡± Ai Tingya was stunned. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you had such a business mind.¡± Ai Tingya and Dean Du were worried that Luo Feng thought business was too easy last night. In fact, they underestimated Luo Feng! He was completely a business genius with great foresight! Luo Feng was overjoyed by the praise and continued, ¡°This is nothing. We have to expand its scale and influence after the milk tea shop is officially on track!¡± ¡°What influence?¡± Ai Tingya did not understand how a drink could affect anything. ¡°The brand¡¯s influence, silly girl. Create a brand with a story. I thought that since we started with drinks, we can start from the food industry and expand. In the future, we¡¯ll be Luo Feng and Wife entrepreneurs. We can cross over to other industries after we make enough profits¡­¡± ¡°Luo Feng and Wife¡­¡± Ai Tingya blushed and couldn¡¯t listen to the rest. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you like Ai Tingya and Husband better. I¡¯m perfectly happy to be a freeloader.¡± Luo Feng said mischievously. Ai Tingya felt even more embarrassed. She felt so dizzy that she seemed to be floating in the clouds. The business map that Luo Feng had built was too far away for her, but husband and wife seemed to be a matter in front of her. ¡°Let¡¯s do as you say. I want to earn money, a lot of money to support you!¡± Ai Tingya was full of fighting spirit and was prepared to go all out. Luo Feng thought to himself that this girl was too easily excitable seeing her gusto. Actually, Luo Feng did not explain clearly that the cost of using real materials would be much higher compared to the milk tea powder condensed from technology. Milk tea shops that competed in the future might also use fruit-flavored gel and various powders, but those were commercial products that only appeared after the industry formed. They were very rare on the market. However, Luo Feng wasn¡¯t afraid of losing money. A small milk tea shop couldn¡¯t accommodate his ambition. He had to build up his brand even if he had to support it! ¡°Then what should we name our milk tea shop?¡± Ai Tingya said excitedly. ¡°Tingya Milk Tea?¡± ¡°F*ck you, I¡¯m being serious!¡± Ai Tingya said shyly. ¡°We have to think of a name that will make people¡¯s eyes light up. It has to be worthy of your shop renovation! Also, it has to have a very good meaning, the kind that can make people smile. What do you think about it being called Green Orange Time? Or Wings of Black Tea. It¡¯s very youthful. Young people will definitely like it!¡± Ai Tingya became animated as she expressed her thoughts. She was always as calm as the lake, perhaps because of her childhood. Occasionally, the breeze would cause a little ripple before disappearing without a trace, so Luo Feng liked to tease her. Luo Feng felt that everything he did was worth it now that he saw how energetic she was, like a flower covered in dew in the morning. ¡°No, no! These names are not good. You have to think of a name for your milk tea shop!¡± Ai Tingya said seriously. ¡°Name it. I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± ¡°No!¡± Ai Tingya said solemnly. ¡°You have to name it!¡± ¡°Hm¡­¡± Luo Feng thought about it and said, ¡°If we want a foundation¡­ then let¡¯s call it ¡®Good Me¡¯!¡± ¡°Huh? Good Me¡­ Isn¡¯t it too simple?¡± Ai Tingya was a little surprised, thinking that Luo Feng would give her an ear-piercing name. Luo Feng said affirmatively, ¡°Let¡¯s settle on this name. It can directly show that we sell milk tea1. It¡¯s easy to remember and has a strong foundation. It¡¯s easy to make up¡­ ah no¡­ to tell the brand story in the future.¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s indeed a good name.¡± Ai Tingya smiled sweetly. There was still a hint of foolishness in this fangirl¡¯s admiration. Luo Feng helplessly stroked her head. How did this silly girl become a female CEO in the future? She believed everything he said, and she suffered a loss because of her age. However, her strong self-esteem hasn¡¯t changed at all no matter her age. Luo Feng had no choice but to give up on losing money and start a milk tea brand. Previously, he thought that life in Third High School was a little boring. Now, he really had something to do. ¡­ Dean Du chose many shops, but they were all not satisfactory. The rent on the high-traffic commercial street was ridiculously high, and the low-end places with fewer rents were not good. She was especially cautious when looking for a place since Luo Feng was going to pay for it. She couldn¡¯t make up her mind after being overcautious. She still couldn¡¯t find a suitable location after looking around for two or three days. In the end, it was Luo Feng who made the decision to find a shop near their high school. Students were the main force for milk tea consumption after all. She left the search for the shop to Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, who were nearby. Dean Du went to contact the raw materials supplier and the renovation team. She could lower the cost to a very low level with her status as the Dean of the orphanage. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had class during the day, so they could only take advantage of the time when they were eating to look for sublet shops nearby. ¡°It¡¯s not as easy as I thought.¡± Ai Tingya pounded her sore legs and looked at her watch. It was almost time for evening self-study again. They would have to go back empty-handed again today. ¡°It¡¯s too easy to earn money from students. There are too few subletters. We have to search carefully.¡± Luo Feng looked at the crowded shops around him and felt troubled. This matter would be much easier to handle if he had an acquaintance who understood the situation. The two of them held hands and looked at the shops one by one. ¡°What are you two doing here? It¡¯s almost time for evening self-study.¡± Just as the two of them were in a dilemma, Teacher Yu rode on the electric scooter station by the roadside and looked at the two of them in confusion. Chapter 47 - 47 Reverse Bargaining, Are You Alright? 47 Reverse Bargaining, Are You Alright? ¡°It¡¯s almost time for evening self-study. Why are the two of you still wandering outside? You can¡¯t be proud even if your results are good.¡± Teacher Yu muttered. The two in front of her were important subjects of protection. She could not be careless. ¡°Teacher Yu, we¡¯re looking for a shop for rent. We¡¯ll go back after walking around a bit more.¡± Ai Tingya said honestly. Teacher Yu pushed the electric scooter and said, ¡°Why are you looking for a shop for rent? Do you want to open a shop?¡± Luo Feng said that the search was a request from Dean Du and only said that they were helping. Teacher Yu felt that this was a good thing. She had always taken good care of Ai Tingya and would leave any subsidy opportunities for her. She was willing to help if she could. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± Teacher Yu smiled and said, ¡°The steamed bun shop in front is owned by my friend. He¡¯s going to rent it out soon.¡± Luo Feng heard that it was such a coincidence: ¡°Then please take us there¡± ¡°Please¡±? Teacher Yu was jolted awake by the sudden respect in his voice and stopped in front of a shop called the Rich Breakfast Shop. There were still two steamed buns in the steamer. There was a wall in the middle of the shop. The 60 square meters shop was divided into two halves. Luo Feng felt that this shop was a little small, but they could rent it since the location was suitable. After Teacher Yu went into the inner room asked them to come out once she confirmed that they wanted to rent it out. ¡°He¡¯s my junior high school classmate. His surname is Guan. You can call him Uncle Guan,¡± Teacher Yu introduced. Behind her was a burly man with dark skin and an honest smile on his face. His mouth was wide open, revealing a row of white glowing teeth. ¡°Hello, Uncle Guan.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya greeted obediently. Uncle Guan looked at Teacher Yu shyly. The man¡¯s face was a little red with other emotions. ¡°Are the two of you the ones who want to rent a shop?¡± Uncle Guan asked. He had heard Teacher Yu tell him the general story when he was inside just now. He was a little surprised when he heard that the students wanted to rent a shop. He did not expect it to be true. ¡°Yes, Uncle Guan, when are you going to rent this shop out?¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Before the end of this month. Breakfast is too exhausting. I¡¯m preparing to change my profession. When will you come over to settle the procedures?¡± ¡°How does tomorrow sound?¡± ¡°Alright, what kind of shop are you going to open? I¡¯ll leave everything you can use for you,¡± Uncle Guan said readily. He glanced at Teacher Yu again as he spoke. His meaning was too obvious. This was all because of Teacher Yu. ¡°We are going to open a milk tea shop.¡± Luo Feng replied. ¡°My shop is a little big if you want to open a milk tea shop.¡± In Uncle Guan¡¯s impression, there were very few shops that only sold milk tea because a pile of flavored milk tea powder could not take up a large area. A small glass cabinet could do it. Such snack shops would have fried skewers of snacks tied up and sold. ¡°Maybe there will be desserts in the future.¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Alright then. I won¡¯t lie to you on account that you¡¯re Teacher Yu¡¯s students. I paid 80,000 yuan for a year¡¯s rent. Adding in the 90,000 yuan transfer fee, and it¡¯s a total of 150,000 yuan. I really didn¡¯t earn anything from you.¡± Uncle Guan gave a very honest price without the teacher¡¯s hint. Luo Feng believed that what he said was true. The shop was near the school and there would definitely be a lot of people. Moreover, 80,000 yuan might be a price that could only be obtained if they knew someone. Ai Tingya was very tempted, but Luo Feng did not continue. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you think the price is inappropriate?¡± Teacher Yu was also very surprised. ¡°No¡± Luo Feng shook his head, ¡°Uncle Guan, I think this price¡­¡± ¡°You want it to be lower?¡± ¡°It has to be higher.¡± Luo Feng extended two fingers, ¡°200,000 yuan.¡± ??? Uncle Guan frowned and glanced at Teacher Yu. He was sure that he had not heard wrongly from the expression on her face. This child was really raising the price. He felt that 150,000 yuan was too low. He would spend 50,000 yuan more. ¡°Are you alright, child?¡± Teacher Yu touched Luo Feng¡¯s forehead. He didn¡¯t have a fever. ¡°I¡¯m serious. I just don¡¯t think you should suffer, Uncle Guan. It¡¯s not easy for everyone to earn money, yet you left something for us. I think 200,000 yuan to rent this shop is worth it.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s face was very serious, but he was scheming behind his back. Uncle Guan was touched. ¡°Xiao Yu, you taught your student too well. How could you teach him so well?¡± He was speechless and did not know how to praise her. He slapped his thigh happily. Luo Feng continued to make it even more difficult to refuse. ¡°Teacher Yu has always been our most respected teacher. How can we let her friend suffer if we get her help? Moreover, I felt that you are very kind the first time I saw you, Uncle Guan. We might even interact more in the future.¡± Teacher Yu could not stop smiling hearing the praises for her, so much so that she forgot that class was already starting. Luo Feng signed a sublet contract with him on the spot and transferred the money to him in order to prevent Uncle Guan from remembering that he was doing business with the orphanage. However, the returns did not enter his account directly this time to his surprise. Luo Feng sat in the classroom without reading a single page of his book at night. He kept fiddling with his phone, thinking about when the returns would arrive. ¡°Are you feeling unwell? Why are you so restless?¡± Ai Tingya sensed that Luo Feng was swaying uneasily as if he was sitting on a nail chair. She had long known about Luo Feng¡¯s habit of bargaining in the opposite direction. This was the first time he looked so uneasy. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just don¡¯t feel at ease renting a place. I feel like something¡¯s missing.¡± Why isn¡¯t the money in my account yet! Ai Tingya thought for a moment and said, ¡°By the way, the Dean told me that you wanted to give the orphanage some shares. I think you¡­¡± ¡°That is it!¡± Luo Feng came to a realization and happily cupped Ai Tingya¡¯s face and kissed her. It was just that he had forgotten to give the orphanage shares, causing the rented shop to not constitute an investment. ¡°I¡¯m going to the computer room to type up a share transfer contract. Help me cover up¡±. After Luo Feng finished speaking, he grabbed a cover book and ran out of the classroom. Ai Tingya was stunned by his kiss. Luo Feng was already gone when she reacted. She touched the place where she was kissed and felt that it was still a little hot. She wanted to tell Luo Feng not to give them the shares and just give the staff a salary when he makes a profit. 200,000 yuan was too much anyway. She doesn¡¯t know when she will be able to earn it back. ¡°Seriously.¡± Ai Tingya leaned on the table and covered her face as she muttered to herself, ¡°How am I supposed to repay you¡­¡± She might really have to marry Luo Feng after all that he had done for her. ¡°Ahem!¡± A very deliberate cough came from behind. Ai Tingya turned around and realized that the entire class was looking at her. The students were originally quietly reading when they suddenly saw Luo Feng and Ai Tingya kissing from the corner of their eyes. Luo Feng ran away after kissing her. ¡°Student Ai Tingya, single dogs are innocent.¡± The student beside her reminded kindly. Chapter 48 - 48 Drink! Why Dont You Drink! 48 Drink! Why Don¡¯t You Drink! After the share transfer contract was drafted, Ai Tingya brought it back at night and asked Dean Du to sign it. Luo Feng waited until 11 o¡¯clock before the returns of one million yuan came. Luo Feng gave the orphanage 50% of the shares. He actually wanted to give them 90% if he wasn¡¯t afraid of scaring Dean Du. This way, 180,000 yuan of the 200,000 yuan rent would be used as an investment and the return would be 1.8 million yuan. ¡°It¡¯s okay, there¡¯s still a long way to go.¡± Luo Feng could only comfort himself in this way. In the following days, he was busy contacting the renovation team to buy renovation materials. The renovation team that Dean Du introduced was a local veteran. They were very surprised when they received the blueprint of the milk tea shop. There was always a popular renovation style after all. Even though the businesses were different, the materials used and the shop style were similar. Luo Feng¡¯s shop was unique, like a red flower in green grass. The renovation cost was 100,000 yuan, and the return was 500,000 yuan! Next, he bought the refrigerant heating equipment needed by the milk tea shop and customized a workbench. He spent 150,000 yuan and made a return of 750,000 yuan. After Luo Feng arranged everything in the shop, he went to buy the ingredients for the drinks. He spent less than 30,000 yuan and made a return of 150,000 yuan. Luo Feng had already earned a million yuan before the shop even opened for business. He would not be able to make money as fast by opening a shop and doing business! Why would Luo Feng only have so little money in his card If Ai Tingya hadn¡¯t insisted on not spending Luo Feng¡¯s money? It was also a problem if his girlfriend¡¯s character was too good. The shop was bustling with activity. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were not idle either. They had to go to the busiest area during their break every week. Then, they would buy the most popular milk teas from various milk tea shops and return to the orphanage to try them one by one. ¡°Oh my god, I really can¡¯t take another sip.¡± Ai Tingya patted her round stomach and lay on the chair aggrievedly. ¡°I feel that the milk tea has already surged into my throat.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t drink anymore either.¡± Xiao Fei, who was beside her, did the same. She had never hated drinks as much as she did now. Luo Feng looked at their appetites and said, ¡°Then go out and digest it, let your other companions come in and drink.¡± ¡°We have to drink some more?¡± The two of them complained endlessly, their breaths carrying a hint of milk. ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll drink what I made after we finish the ones I bought outside. Let¡¯s see which three to use as the master attraction.¡± Luo Feng shook the cup in his hand. He still had to match the market taste even though he had mastered the combination of countless types of milk teas. They did not have the power to influence people¡¯s choice yet. Therefore, they could only be filtered through constant tasting. ¡°Most of the milk tea outside uses industrial milk essence. I¡¯m really going to vomit from drinking it.¡± Ai Tingya pouted and held her stomach. When Ai Tingya was young, she had fantasized about opening a cake shop at home. That way, she would have an endless supply of cakes. She no longer felt that her childhood dream was wonderful now that she suddenly had an endless supply of milk tea. Luo Feng had no resistance to the coquettish Ai Tingya. He carried the empty cup in front of Ai Tingya away and said, ¡°I told you to just have a taste, but you insisted that it was a waste not to finish it. Now, your stomach doesn¡¯t feel good, right?¡± ¡°But it¡¯s really a pity if we just throw them away.¡± Ai Tingya burped, but her thoughts did not waver. The orphanage did not allow wastage! ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Take a rest. I¡¯ll let the others in.¡± He put down the fruit tea he had just brewed and walked to the entrance. The children playing outside ran away as if they had seen a ghost. As he ran, he shouted, ¡°Hide quickly, big brother Luo Feng is going to catch another test subject!¡± Why did he make himself look like Frankenstein? ¡°They ran away.¡± Luo Feng said helplessly. ¡°I¡¯ll run too if I can move now.¡± Xiao Fei shook her weak hand. Luo Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, ¡°Am I that scary?¡± He remembered that when he first brought the ingredients here, the children were surrounding him like bees. Not only did he have to concoct drinks, but he also had to prevent the children from drinking the ingredients secretly. A box full of cream was used up by the kids to spread on their steamed buns in no time. Moreover, the right to taste a drink had to go through a few rounds of rock, paper, scissors. Only the child who won in the end was qualified to have a drink. It had only been a few days, but the children were so scared when they saw him now. So saddening. ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do about it.¡± Ai Tingya spoke about her feelings. ¡°The milk tea you make is like the bright stars in the sky. We think it¡¯s all very good, but you insist on us picking out the best ones. It¡¯s too difficult for us.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so sweet. I¡¯ll reward you with a day of rest.¡± Luo Feng hugged Ai Tingya and kissed her cute hair. Xiao Fei sat on the chair beside him and could not move. She was forced to watch the couple show off their love. At this moment, Dean Du walked to the door. She was already used to Luo Feng being in the cafeteria. ¡°Little Luo, are you making drinks again?¡± Dean Du leaned over curiously. The dazzling array of materials dazzled her. The sweet smell was very seductive, causing her to take two more sniffs. Xiao Fei saw her actions and felt that something was wrong. She mouthed, ¡°Dean! Run!¡± Dean Du was too attracted by the raw materials and did not see them at all. Luo Feng smiled and walked over, blocking Xiao Fei. He said to Dean Du, ¡°Dean, why don¡¯t you sit down and try the milk tea?¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try the young people¡¯s food too.¡± Dean Du pulled out a stool and was very happy. ¡°It¡¯s over¡­¡± Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei looked at her sympathetically. Luo Feng liked proactive test subjects, no, tasters. He rolled up his sleeves and gave it another go. His movements were very fast. In just 10 minutes, more than 10 types of drinks were placed in front of Dean Du. The milk tea was sweet, the fruit tea was fresh, and the roasted immortal herbs were filled with ingredients. It almost covered a few popular flavors on the market. When placed together, it was like a clear palette. The tender color was very pleasing. Dean Du picked up a glass at the side and said expectantly, ¡°Let me try this first.¡± ¡°This is Ice-Blended Soy Milk.¡± ¡°This is the Passion Fruit Chiller.¡± ¡°Morning Dew Matcha.¡± ¡°Versailles¡¯ Cherries.¡± ¡°Fire Roasted Oolong.¡± ¡°And¡­¡± ¡°Enough, enough. I really can¡¯t drink anymore.¡± Dean Du put down the blanket with difficulty. She could not swallow the fruit in her mouth and could not bear to throw it up. She was in a dilemma. Luo Feng asked the usual question: ¡°Which drink do you think is good?¡± ¡°They¡¯re all delicious.¡± Dean Du said sincerely. Luo Feng¡¯s milk tea had a unique taste and there was nothing wrong with it. ¡°This won¡¯t do. You guys must have drunk too little to think that they¡¯re all delicious.¡± Luo Feng pinched his chin and thought, ¡°Drink more, choose three flavors to make the decision.¡± Dean Du¡¯s expression changed. Only then did she notice the sympathetic gazes of Xiao Fei and Ai Tingya. Dean Du swallowed the fruit in her mouth with tears in her eyes seeing Luo Feng set up another row of milk tea. Chapter 49 - 49 Can Luo Feng Reappear In The World Of Business? 49 Can Luo Feng Reappear In The World Of Business? Dean Du and the others were walking on the path Luo Feng took. After a few days of sampling drinks, both Dean Du and Ai Tingya had developed quite an insight. ¡°This lemon is a little sour. It¡¯s better to change to another variety.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too sweet. It¡¯s very burdensome for girls who are watching their figures. It¡¯s better to lower the sugar content a little. What? There¡¯s already a difference of 30% sweetness, 50% sweetness, 70% sweetness, and 100% sweetness? You¡¯re so considerate.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a little greasy with too much milk. I¡¯m serious. It¡¯s not to save on materials.¡± ¡°It¡¯s filled with nutritious grains like eight-treasure porridge. I believe I can definitely sell it well!¡± Ai Tingya and Dean Du took turns exchanging ideas and quickly decided on the star products to be promoted by the milk tea shop. Everything seemed to be fine. They were just waiting for the renovation to be completed and the shop to open for business. But Luo Feng felt that it wasn¡¯t over yet. ¡°Let¡¯s set a few more desserts with milk tea. Do you think there¡¯s anything else you need to add?¡± Ai Tingya asked. ¡°Hm¡­ since we¡¯re taking the high-end route, service is very important.¡± Luo Feng said. The cost of their milk tea was obvious after all. The price would definitely be higher than other milk teas. If there was no other additional value, it would be very difficult for customers to be willing to pay. ¡°You still want to hire two waiters who specially serve tea?¡± Ai Tingya did not understand. Would the customers be happy just by saving a few steps? ¡°Not only serve tea, but can also play games with you or listen to your troubles. I have to make the customers feel that the money was worth it so that they will come again next time.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ We¡¯re just a milk tea shop.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand, Tingya. I¡¯ve been to a kind of shop before. The waitresses inside will change into nice looking clothes and play games with the customers. There will also be a cross-dressing service on specific days.¡± This description made Ai Tingya feel a little frightened. She hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Are you sure you went to a serious shop?¡± Luo Feng was talking about the maid caf¨¦. Ai Tingya thought it was a KTV with a special service. When she was looking for a part-time job in the past, she had heard from others that not only could KTV girls drink and sing, there would also be an additional accompanying singing service. Good-looking girls could earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. At that time, she felt that there must be a trick to how easy it was to earn money. Later on, she kept a respectful distance from the gray industry when she found out about what they actually did. Why did Luo Feng get so involved? ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Luo Feng laughed, ¡°I¡¯m talking about having uniforms that match the brand. I¡¯ll buy a few if there¡¯s anything suitable.¡± He had to buy the maid uniforms himself. Only then did Ai Tingya relax. Her filter on Luo Feng did not collapse. After that, his revision life was the same as before. The maid outfit was too trendy for Luo Feng¡¯s small city. Internet shopping wasn¡¯t developed either, so Luo Feng could only find a tailor shop to make it. Sometimes, he would pick up his pen and draw a sketch of a maid uniform when he¡¯s inspired. There was nothing wrong but Luo Feng felt like there were two pairs of eyes staring at him. He thought it was Ai Tingya at first. This silly girl¡¯s hobby, other than studying, was to stare at him. Later, he realized that it was not the case. Ai Tingya¡¯s learning progress had been delayed because of the milk tea shop. She had been busy doing questions for the past few days. Luo Feng searched again and saw that Teacher Yu could always enter his line of sight. Teacher Yu would always glance at him when she returned to the office after class. They would coincidentally bump into Teacher Yu who had returned to school when they were eating at night. Luo Feng felt like Teacher Yu had something to say to him every time he saw her. However, Teacher Yu turned around and left when their eyes met, making Luo Feng feel like he was doing something bad. Finally, after their sixth meeting, Teacher Yu mustered her courage and walked over. ¡°Ai Tingya, come to my office,¡± she said to Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya was a little surprised. She had been doing quite well recently. She was serious about class and didn¡¯t show off her love to Luo Feng. Why would Teacher Yu look for her? She glanced at Luo Feng beside her and followed Teacher Yu suspiciously. Luo Feng felt that this matter had something to do with him, so he quietly followed and leaned against the door to peek. After entering the office, Teacher Yu first touched the desk uneasily for a while, but she did not find anything before turning around and sitting down. She adjusted her glasses and said, ¡°Ai Tingya, how have your studies been?¡± ¡°I can keep up with the teachers¡¯ progress,¡± Ai Tingya replied obediently. ¡°That¡­ You and Luo Feng¡­ How¡¯s your milk tea shop?¡± ¡°¡­ The milk tea shop is still being renovated, but everything is going smoothly.¡± ¡°Then how about you and Luo Feng¡­?¡± Teacher Yu finally said the main point after going in a big circle. He subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°You mean?¡± Ai Tingya asked. The school prohibited puppy love but Luo Feng and her were the exceptions. Everyone has a tacit understanding that they won¡¯t put it on the table. Why was she suddenly concerned about their relationship? Teacher Yu also felt that it wasn¡¯t appropriate for her to ask this. She scratched her head and said, ¡°Actually, I have something to ask of Luo Feng.¡± ¡°Then why don¡¯t you just tell Luo Feng? I¡¯ll call him over.¡± Ai Tingya said obediently. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t.¡± Teacher Yu grabbed Ai Tingya and said, ¡°This matter is a little forced, so I don¡¯t know how to tell Luo Feng. I want you to help me pass on the message.¡± She looked around to make sure that no other teachers were paying attention to the conversation. Then she lowered her voice and said, ¡°Can you ask Luo Feng to help tuition your classmates? Many of our students¡¯ scores are too low. It¡¯s the last sprint now. I saw Luo Feng explaining very well last time, your classmates are able to understand.¡± Ai Tingya said awkwardly, ¡°But Luo Feng still has to revise too. He might not agree.¡± Luo Feng, who was eavesdropping outside, nodded in agreement. He had to revise occasionally as well. Teaching the entire class would take up time, and it wouldn¡¯t be as targeted as tutoring Lei Jin with more people. ¡°That¡¯s why I need you, Ai Tingya! Actually, it won¡¯t take up too much of Luo Feng¡¯s time. It¡¯s just an evening self-study session. Let Luo Feng refine the key points!¡± Teacher Yu excitedly grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°Our classmates are counting on you!¡± When Luo Feng, who was outside, heard this, he felt that something was wrong. That silly girl, Ai Tingya, would definitely be tricked by Teacher Yu. ¡°Alright,¡± Ai Tingya agreed. ¡°I¡¯ll tell him, but I have no choice if he doesn¡¯t agree.¡± ¡± Luo Feng definitely won¡¯t refuse if you are the one who asks him. I am not a misjudge of character.¡± Teacher Yu was so happy that she couldn¡¯t close her mouth. She even walked Ai Tingya out of the office. Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s back and continued to stick close to the door, carefully looking inside. At this moment, Teacher Zhang from Class Two held the paper in one hand and a thermos in the other. He walked to his desk and sat down, laughing disdainfully at Teacher Yu. Chapter 50 - 50 You Promised To Wear It For Me! 50 You Promised To Wear It For Me! In Luo Feng¡¯s memory, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Yu have never gotten along. Perhaps it was because the two of them are similar in age and experience, the competitive awards will always collide. In addition, the two of them were both form teachers. The class they were in charge of was only separated by a wall, so it was inevitable that they would secretly compete seriously. Luo Feng was originally wondering why his teacher suddenly wanted him to tutor the entire class. However, he immediately understood when he saw Teacher Zhang¡¯s arrogant appearance. ¡°Teacher Yu, are you mobilizing your classmate Ai Tingya again?¡± Teacher Zhang teased. ¡°Ai Tingya is already working very hard. Don¡¯t give the student too much pressure. The other students might need more guidance.¡± In other words¡ª Why are you so biased? You only look at those with good results and don¡¯t see those with bad results. Teacher Yu glared at him angrily and happened to see a stack of papers under his arm. The last sprint of the third year of high school was nothing more than doing questions. The teachers of each subject would collect the real questions from the previous years or get the targeted papers from the private school if they were related. When Teacher Yu saw the words ¡°Provincial High School¡± on the paper, she felt very upset. Teacher Zhang intentionally or unintentionally flaunted the paper in his hand. He felt that what he had said just now was not satisfying enough and said, ¡°Teacher Yu, you only have two top students. The rest are mostly ordinary students. Don¡¯t let the children¡¯s three years of hard work down.¡± With that, he left proudly with the papers. Luo Feng waited for Teacher Zhang to walk away before glancing into the office. Teacher Yu looked at the lesson plan and sighed. She, who was usually unforgiving with her words, rarely said a word in the face of Teacher Zhang¡¯s provocation. Even though Class One was ranked first or second in the cohort, the average score of the class was still lower than Class Two¡¯s. This meant that there was a huge difference between the students. Teacher Zhang blamed this on the fact that Teacher Yu only valued Luo Feng, Ai Tingya. Teacher Yu was speechless. It was not that she had never thought of helping to improve the average score, but she could not get good real questions. She could only watch as Teacher Zhang moved sets of good questions to his own class. Luo Feng looked at Teacher Yu¡¯s lonely back view as if she was an old monk meditating. He suddenly understood why she wanted him to tutor the class. Luo Feng returned to class. Ai Tingya pulled him to his seat when saw him return. ¡°Where did you go? I couldn¡¯t find you anywhere,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°I just went to the store to eat something. Why are you looking for me?¡± Luo Feng asked even though he knew the answer. Ai Tingya bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before telling him what had happened in the office. He revealed an ambiguous smile and said, ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± Ai Tingya said foolishly, ¡°Of course I hope you can help our classmates, but you¡¯re the one who¡¯s busy and it will take up your time, so you still have to make the decision yourself. However, I¡¯ll support you no matter what you do!¡± She fully respected Luo Feng¡¯s choice and was only a messenger. Luo Feng felt a little disappointed. He felt that Ai Tingya didn¡¯t understand why Teacher Yu looked for her. At a time like this, he would definitely agree if she acted coquettishly with him. The scene he imagined didn¡¯t appear, so Luo Feng could only do it himself. He frowned and pretended to be troubled. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to agree¡­ But you have to agree to one condition.¡± ¡°What condition?¡± ¡°What should you call me at a time like this?¡± ¡°¡­Sweetheart, what¡¯s the condition?¡± Ai Tingya felt that Luo Feng was teasing her again. Luo Feng thought about it and said, ¡°The uniforms are almost ready. Try them on for me.¡± Ai Tingya thought that it was something serious. That was it? She would try it even without him saying anything. She had to go to the milk tea shop to help in the future after all. ¡°I promise you,¡± she answered innocently. ¡°Sure¡± Luo Feng grinned, ¡°Tomorrow I¡¯ll let Lei Jin go back to his home alone.¡± ¡­ The next night. Ai Tingya looked at the few pieces of tender-colored fabric on Luo Feng¡¯s bed, but they didn¡¯t look like proper clothes at all. ¡°Is this the uniform you found?¡± She felt that she had overestimated Luo Feng¡¯s taste. She wouldn¡¯t have agreed so easily if she had asked a few more questions yesterday. As expected, Luo Feng didn¡¯t hold back his f*rts. Luo Feng chuckled as he picked up a piece of lolitha clothing and said, ¡°These are just samples. I¡¯ll prepare to mass produce them only if you look good in them.¡± Of course, it won¡¯t be mass-produced. Luo Feng spent a bomb to get these clothes overnight. Lolita¡¯s puffy shoulder sleeves? No! Change them into straps! The maid¡¯s skirt was cut in half, and the back is made into bare-back straps. The cheongsam was slit up to the thigh, and there was a black silk professional suit! ¡°I don¡¯t want it!¡± Ai Tingya rejected decisively. ¡°You really did not go to a proper shop!¡± ¡°But you promised me yesterday.¡± Luo Feng said pitifully, ¡°I¡¯ll still do it even if you go back on your word but are you really not going to reward me?¡± Ai Tingya choked. She had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Luo Feng retreated in order to advance and put her on low moral ground. ¡°No¡­ Not wearing it.¡± Ai Tingya looked determined, but her heart had already waived. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s start tutoring¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t say anything else as he sat down and opened his book. A trace of disappointment flashed across Ai Tingya¡¯s face. What was wrong with Luo Feng? He should be forcing himself on her now. Father and Mother Luo were staying at a relative¡¯s house and won¡¯t be back until tomorrow and Lei Jin was not here after all¡­ A man and a woman in the same room. With the right time, place, and people, how could Luo Feng study even with his strong willpower? Ai Tingya sat beside Luo Feng, her heart racing as she kept glancing at the clothes on the bed. ¡°Tingya, focus.¡± Luo Feng said calmly. He felt that it was normal for her not to agree. These clothes were still too advanced for the times. The tailor looked at Luo Feng a few more times when he received the blueprint. He definitely thought that Luo Feng was an indecent person, let alone Ai Tingya. It was fine. There was still a long way to go. He would slowly teach her to accept it in the future. ¡°Alright.¡± Ai Tingya bit her lip. Why was she the one feeling distraught? She broke the agreement, but he would still keep his promise. Would he be disappointed in her? Ai Tingya did not listen to a single word during tuition. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Let me send you back.¡± Luo Feng helped Ai Tingya pack her books. Ai Tingya stood where she was and struggled for a while before saying, ¡°A pen just rolled into the gap behind the table. Help me find it. I¡¯ll go to the bathroom first and be back soon.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Feng squatted down and reached out. When he was not paying attention, Ai Tingya quickly took a shirt with seemingly the most fabric and ran into the bathroom. Luo Feng searched through the crack twice and found the eraser and one dollar coin that had been missing for a month but he did not find the pen that Ai Tingya mentioned. He stood up and patted the dust off his hands. He heard Ai Tingya open the door. ¡°I didn¡¯t find your pen. I have extra. You¡­¡± Luo Feng paused. Ai Tingya, who was wearing a professional suit, was standing in front of him and looking at him in embarrassment. Chapter 51 - 51 Sense Of Career Crisis Strikes Again! 51 Sense Of Career Crisis Strikes Again! Ai Tingya was an honest person and did not forget to put on the matching black stockings. She was now curvaceous, with a curvy chest and a seductive waist after nearly a year of feeding. Even Xing Miaomiao, who was proud of her figure, felt inferior to her. Luo Feng seemed to see the shadow of the female CEO from his previous life again, but the current Ai Tingya looked a little more inexperienced. ¡°Luo Feng, this dress is so tight.¡± Ai Tingya tugged at her short skirt in embarrassment. The professional suit wrapped tightly around Ai Tingya¡¯s body, and the edge extended along her curves. Luo Feng would not say that he had specially bought one size smaller. ¡°Then do you want to try the cheongsam?¡± Luo Feng leaned closer to Ai Tingya and guided her with a naughty smile. Ai Tingya looked up and glared at Luo Feng. The slit of your cheongsam is about to reach my armpits. How can I wear it out? Only this works suit attire looks more decent. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m stupid? You¡¯re clearly teasing me!¡± Ai Tingya twisted Luo Feng¡¯s arm unhappily. Luo Feng felt the pain while lavishing that the shy Ai Tingya was too cute. He wrapped his arms around Ai Tingya¡¯s waist and said, ¡°You put on the clothes obediently even though you know that I¡¯m teasing you. Ai Tingya, you really like me very much.¡± ¡°Who likes you?¡± Ai Tingya pushed him gently twice but did not push him away. She leaned on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder and said stubbornly, ¡°I¡¯m just fulfilling my promise. Don¡¯t flatter yourself. Hmph.¡± Then, she tugged at her clothes and said, ¡°This shirt is so strange. Even though it¡¯s a little tight, I can fit in it.¡± Luo Feng kissed her hair and said proudly, ¡°Of course, I bought them according to your measurements. The other clothes are also tailored according to your measurements. They fit you better.¡± ¡°How do you know my three sizes?¡± Ai Tingya asked in surprise. She didn¡¯t even know what her three sizes were. Luo Feng said, ¡°It¡¯s very simple, by observation and sense of touch.¡± After saying that, he did not forget to pinch the hand on his waist. It was soft and felt very good. Ai Tingya pushed Luo Feng away and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t do anything unnecessary. I¡¯m ignoring you!¡± After saying that, she still felt that it was not enough. She pinched Luo Feng again, stuck out her tongue mischievously, and ran back to the bathroom to change. At this moment, Luo Feng heard the door open. He stuck his head out and saw Father and Mother Luo standing at the door anxiously. Mother Luo kicked off her shoes in a panic. ¡°Little Feng, why didn¡¯t you answer my call?¡± Mother Luo ran over and said worriedly. She grabbed Luo Feng and flipped him around to see if he was still intact. ¡°I¡¯ll put it on silent when I study.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. My right eyelid keeps twitching today. I keep feeling that something bad is going to happen and you¡¯re not answering your phone. I thought something had happened to you!¡± Mother Luo patted her chest in shock. Father Luo said, ¡°Don¡¯t do this again. You have to answer the phone, understand?¡± Luo Feng took out his phone and looked at it. Good lord, there were 38 missed calls! They continued to phone him up to two minutes before they entered. No wonder his parents came back in the middle of the night. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for making you worry. It won¡¯t happen again.¡± Luo Feng apologized sincerely. Mother Luo looked at her sensible son and felt relieved. However, she felt that Luo Feng¡¯s posture against the door frame was very strange. He had filled the gap in the door to block the view inside. What was even stranger was that she did not see Ai Tingya. She should be at home at this time. ¡°Did Tingya go home?¡± Mother Luo asked, but her eyes darted into the gap. She saw a few beautiful dresses on the bed. They were styles she had never seen before, and the fabric was ridiculously scarce. Mother Luo had never seen such a scene before and could not help but take a few more glances. ¡°She went to the bathroom. I¡¯m going to send her back soon.¡± Luo Feng moved his body to block it and looked again. The mother and son looked at each other as if they were fighting an offensive and defensive battle. Father Luo, who was beside them, could not help but look in. Then, his face turned red. He grabbed his wife, who was about to enter the house, and said, ¡°Our son has grown up. Don¡¯t enter his room.¡± ¡°But I saw a few good-looking clothes¡­¡± Mother Luo did not understand. The more she was not allowed to see, the more she wanted to see them. Father Luo could only whisper to his wife seeing that he had no choice. Mother Luo¡¯s face turned red as she looked at Luo Feng meaningfully and revealed a smile that said, ¡°I understand.¡± ??? Luo Feng had goosebumps from being stared at. He heard Father Luo say, ¡°The pressure of the college entrance examination is understandable. Young people, pay attention. Safety is also very important.¡± ¡°No, I¡­¡± Father Luo raised his hand to stop him without waiting for Luo Feng to explain. Father Luo and Mother Luo did not care even if Luo Feng said that he was the one wearing these clothes. They flew back to the master bedroom and locked the door. A few minutes later, Ai Tingya slowly came out of the bathroom. She heard Luo Feng¡¯s conversation with his parents and knew that they had misunderstood. ¡°What do you think we should do?¡± Ai Tingya asked Luo Feng. What if she lost her reputation? ¡°What can we do? Why don¡¯t we make it a reality?¡± Luo Feng became even more unrestrained. Everyone around them gave their blessings when they were in love. It was only a matter of time, right? ¡°You¡¯re really¡­ I¡¯m going back.¡± Ai Tingya wanted to scold him, but she couldn¡¯t bear to. She angrily threw the clothes at Luo Feng and ran out. Luo Feng knew that she would be waiting for him to send her back by bicycle, so he calmly took Ai Tingya¡¯s bag and walked out. On the way back, Ai Tingya hugged Luo Feng¡¯s waist obediently and was so angry that she did not say a word. ¡­ His revision life continued. The next evening, Luo Feng stood in the corridor in a daze after dinner. He could hear the sound of Teacher Yu¡¯s high heels from afar. He turned his head and saw Teacher Yu walking over with her lesson plan. Teacher Zhang carried a new stack of papers and walked into Class Two proudly in front of her. Teacher Yu walked past Luo Feng. The two of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They walked into the classroom one after another. When the students saw that it was the form teacher presiding over the evening self-study, they were very disappointed. They all knew that Teacher Yu was strict and did not dare to be lazy at all. ¡°We¡¯ll have class tonight instead of self-study,¡± Teacher Yu said as she slammed the table. ¡°Huh?¡± The students were even sadder. After listening for a day, their ears were getting calluses. ¡°Huh what?¡± Teacher Yu said sternly. ¡°Luo Feng will give you the main point today. Take out your books!¡± ¡°Yay!¡± There was a cheer from below. Teacher Yu almost vomited blood. What do you mean? You¡¯re happy just because Luo Feng is giving a lecture. You all seem dead when I give a lecture. Is my teaching really that bad? However, she was the one who called him over. Teacher Yu endured her anger and walked down the podium to change seats with Luo Feng. ¡°I¡¯m here again today. Please forgive me for not speaking well.¡± Luo Feng scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Originally, it was just a humble opening statement. Unexpectedly, a classmate suddenly shouted, ¡°No! Teacher Luo, your lecture was very good. I love listening to your lecture!¡± This ¡°teacher¡± made Teacher Yu¡¯s heart ache. She had taught them for three years, but she was not even as good as Luo Feng¡¯s one lecture?! Chapter 52 - 52 Theres A Reason For The Public Display Of Affection! 52 There¡¯s A Reason For The Public Display Of Affection! ¡°Thank you for your support.¡± Luo Feng was calm, ¡°Everyone, take out your books. Class is starting.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± The students were like obedient primary school students. They would answer positively no matter what they were told to do. The harmonious classroom atmosphere made Teacher Yu go crazy with envy. A female classmate raised her hand and said, ¡°Teacher Luo, can I make a suggestion before we begin?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Can you not show off your love with Ai Tingya? I don¡¯t want to eat dog food anymore.¡± ¡°Teacher Luo likes Ai Tingya. Many of his actions are subconscious. Sometimes, it¡¯s hard to remember. Everyone, please tolerate him on the account of Teacher Luo¡¯s hard work.¡± Lei Jin stood up and said without waiting for Luo Feng to speak. He felt very unbalanced. I¡¯ve been eating dog food for so long to obtain good results. Everyone has to eat it together! ¡°But Ai Tingya is very pitiful. She¡¯s always being whipped to answer questions,¡± said the bottom-feeder who was afraid of answering questions. Luo Feng came out to smooth things over. ¡°Thank you for your opinion, but I think I have to explain to everyone. I keep mentioning Ai Tingya to motivate everyone.¡± ¡°Ha.¡± Teacher Yu¡¯s uncontrollable voice sounded in the silent classroom. She had been a teacher for almost 20 years and had never seen a public display of affection that could inspire people. Luo Feng was getting better at lying. ¡°I¡¯m serious,¡± Luo Feng said sincerely. ¡°Imagine if you had such a good girlfriend like Ai Tingya. Would you want to show off?¡± The boys in the class were the first to agree. They were all head over heels for Ai Tingya and nodded profusely looking at her cute face and pure eyes. If they had a beautiful girlfriend, they would want to carry her photo on their backs and introduce her to everyone, even if their girlfriend was not by their side. Luo Feng continued, ¡°Why do I have such a good girlfriend like Ai Tingya? Is it because I¡¯m handsome?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± The female classmate retorted heartbreakingly. ¡°Teacher Luo, you¡¯re very handsome!¡± The classroom roared with laughter again. Luo Feng also smiled. ¡°Ahem, I¡¯m just not ugly. That¡¯s not the point. In the past, no one was willing to be my girlfriend when my results were bad.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the students¡¯ gazes gathered on one spot. It was not on Ai Tingya, but on Xing Miaomiao. She was once Luo Feng¡¯s rumored girlfriend. Luo Feng had always been at her beck and call, but she had never agreed. So even a shallow girl like Xing Miaomiao would judge a person based on results. The students immediately came to a realization and nodded in agreement with an ¡°I see¡± expression. ¡°Students, close your eyes and fantasize about meeting smart and beautiful seniors or juniors after you get into a good university. The female students can see an eight-pack senior helping you move your luggage. Do you feel like wandering in the sea of knowledge now?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The students were full of fighting spirit. Luo Feng decided. ¡°Just maintain this enthusiasm! Keep it up! Believe me, you¡¯ll have a good job after studying in a good university. You¡¯ll have a career and love!¡± ¡°Teacher Luo, let¡¯s start the class!¡± Teacher Yu was caught between laughter and tears when she saw the lifeless classroom seem to have been washed by chicken blood. Luo Feng knew too well what the children were thinking. Telling them to study for the rise of their country was like telling elementary school students that you have to be a scientist when you grow up. It was better to talk about a lady¡¯s slender waist and long legs. These words were difficult to say as a teacher, but Luo Feng could say them openly. The lecture officially began. Teacher Yu realized that Luo Feng was really magical. Not only was he good at studying, but he was also very knowledgeable. This was probably what it meant to read a book a hundred times. Luo Feng seemed to have attended high school a few times and summarized his understanding. His teaching method was like peeling cabbage. He peeled it layer by layer, revealing the most straightforward core, then fed it to his classmates. Moreover, he would get Ai Tingya to explain every time there was a most important point. The students knew that they had to take note of it and take advantage of his public display of affection to write down their notes. Most importantly, it was Luo Feng¡¯s identity as a student. Teacher Yu felt that she had been a teacher for too long and that it was no longer difficult for her to teach knowledge countless times. Luo Feng was a student to begin with, so he could judge knowledge from the perspective of the students. The way he conveyed it was also easier for the students to accept. After the lesson, other than Ai Tingya¡¯s flushed face, everything else was very good. It had been a long time since Teacher Yu had written so quickly. She had recorded all of Luo Feng¡¯s teaching techniques so that she could improve the way she lectured and strive to win at the starting line when she led the next class. Move over, Teacher Zhang of Class Two and the exclusive questions of the province! ¡°Teacher Yu, what are you writing?¡± The boy on the other side leaned over. ¡°You are taking notes too?¡± Teacher Yu covered her notebook and glared at the boy. ¡°Pay attention to the class. How dare you be distracted while I¡¯m here?¡± The boy said aggrievedly, ¡°Teacher Yu, you¡¯re so fierce. Teacher Luo wouldn¡¯t be like this.¡± Then, he stared at Luo Feng on the stage in admiration, regretting not meeting him sooner. ¡°¡­?¡± Teacher Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Would she still have any prestige as a form teacher if she were to put down the same thing that she approved of?! She took two deep breaths to calm herself down. Who asked these little ancestors to take the college entrance examination? She had to tolerate them. After the class, Luo Feng wrote the last stroke on the board, and warm applause sounded from below the stage! ¡°Thank you, Teacher Luo. So my understanding method has always been wrong. Thank you for correcting me in time!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Teacher Luo. We shouldn¡¯t have said that you were showing off your love. You¡¯ve really been thinking about us. I remember the main point very well. I won¡¯t forget it for the rest of my life!¡± ¡°Long live Teacher Luo! I can already see my seniors waving at me!¡± ¡°Ai Tingya, if my studies become better, are you willing to date me?¡± Why were there dangers lurking in these words? Luo Feng smiled bitterly. His results had yet to improve, but he was already thinking of poaching her away. ¡°Thank you for your cooperation, students. I¡¯m also very happy that you¡¯ve gained something, but there¡¯s something very important I have to remind you of.¡± The students stuck their heads out and stretched their ears, thinking that it was some test secret. Luo Feng cleared his throat and said, ¡°Ai Tingya is mine.¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± The students booed. You¡¯re still doing this to show off your love! In the following days, Luo Feng would lecture for an hour every night. The students looked forward to the evening self-study the most. The learning atmosphere in Class One was much better, so much better that Teacher Zhang of Class Two was pissed. He felt an impending crisis, but there was no other way. He could only find more papers for the students to do. The students of Class Two complained endlessly as they looked at the papers one after another. Chapter 53 - 53 Teacher Yu Has Good Potential To Carry Goods 53 Teacher Yu Has Good Potential To Carry Goods Luo Feng did not delay the matter with the milk tea shop while he continued his studies. He wrote down all his thoughts and arrangements for the milk tea shop on paper. He even drew two renovation diagrams and handed them to Dean Du to help keep an eye on the shop. The master of the renovation team was especially serious since someone was guarding it everyday. More importantly, Luo Feng paid very readily. Not only did he work hard to renovate the shop, but he also placed his order first for many custom-made furniture. The renovation of the shop was completed in just a month. It was similar to Luo Feng¡¯s rendering. The ingredients for the cutlery to make milk tea had long been bought. Luo Feng had already used them to do several rounds of experiments. There were many children in the orphanage so they had a lot of hands. He moved the things to the shop after just two trips. Luo Feng asked Dean Du to choose an auspicious day and prepare to open for business! ¡­ A very special shop appeared on Xueyou Street. The outer wall was replaced by huge glass, and one could see the neat furnishings in the shop at a glance. The black, white, and gray main colors were low-key and high-end, and the wooden furniture emitted a natural warmth. One would be attracted by the exquisite renovation and could not help but admire it up close if they were passing by the opposite street. The nearby residents heard that there was a very unique milk tea shop and gathered around. On the first day of opening, the milk tea shop was filled with people. When Dean Du saw the lively scene, she was so happy that he could not close her mouth. She stood outside the shop to greet the customers and to protect the fresh flower opening stand. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya also took time off to help. ¡°Director, be careful.¡± There were too many people. A fat uncle accidentally bumped into Dean Du. Ai Tingya quickly went over to support her. ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m old and useless. Go in and help Lu Zhao,¡± Dean Du said with a smile. Luo Feng had poached Lu Zhao from other milk tea shops. He just met her recently on his investigation of the market¡¯s taste. Luo Feng sat in the shop for a few minutes and realized that Lu Zhao had managed the milk tea shop well. Hence, he offered a high price and asked her to come over. Lu Zhao had good management skills. She divided the seven shop assistants into three groups. One group of two went to the street entrance to distribute flyers to attract customers. The other group was to greet the customers in the shop. The last group would make drinks. Everyone would guard their respective positions and was orderly amidst the work. Among the seven shop assistants, four were waiters hired by Luo Feng. They were all fair and beautiful girls wearing custom-made black dresses and white aprons. They had the charm of maids, but they were not too bold. The other three were children from the orphanage. The taste of milk tea was the core competitiveness of the shop, so Luo Feng only told insiders the recipe. They were slightly younger than Ai Tingya by two years and could earn some money in the shop. Almost all the children in the orphanage at Xiao Fei¡¯s age knew how to make the milk tea. For example, Xiao Fei was more willing to earn money than study. She also solved the problem of the milk tea shop. ¡°There are so many customers.¡± Dean Du was overjoyed. ¡°Isn¡¯t the 20% discount too much? If I had known, I would have given less.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s method of attracting customers was a discount. Facing a discount, even those who did not like drinks would enter and take a look. Ai Tingya was also very happy. She was very confident in the taste of her shop¡¯s milk tea. Luo Feng was silent as he leaned against the door and watched the guests enter and leave. The price could not be suppressed because the ingredients were expensive. A cup of milk tea in a normal milk tea shop was three yuan. The cheapest eight yuan in Good Me¡¯s shop was 6.4 yuan even after a 20% discount. For a third-tier city, six yuan was more than enough to eat a bowl of noodles. Most of the customers who entered the shop were curious. They wanted to go in and experience the milk tea shop that they had never seen before, but not many people actually bought it. Luo Feng roughly estimated that only one out of six people would pay. ¡°Why do I feel that there are very few people buying milk tea?¡± Ai Tingya realized the same problem and realized that the price was too high. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Tingya. It¡¯s only the first day of business. It will take time for the guests to accept it. We can wait and see for a few more days.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s mentality was as stable as an old dog. He decided to give a discount for half a month to create demand. When customers got used to the life of milk tea, he would restore the original price. At that time, customers who were obsessed with milk tea would still be willing to pay. In any case, Luo Feng would make money even if he made losses. He did not panic at all. ¡°Oh my, you¡¯re really here.¡± At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind. Teacher Yu also took the time to come over and take a look at the new shop during her lunch break. As soon as Dean Du saw Teacher Yu, she welcomed her warmly. ¡°Teacher Yu, you¡¯re really an honor to our shop. Please come in!¡± ¡°Dean Du, you¡¯re welcome. Go ahead. I¡¯ll follow Ai Tingya and the others,¡± Teacher Yu said with a smile. The two of them had met a few times and were considered acquaintances. Dean Du gave Ai Tingya a few instructions before walking into the shop. The milk tea shop¡¯s business was booming. Teacher Yu smiled and said, ¡°Congratulations, congratulations. It¡¯s a good day to open.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the shop recommended by Teacher. The location is very good. Try it too,¡± Luo Feng said. Teacher Yu hurriedly waved her hand and said, ¡°Forget it, forget it. It¡¯s easy for me to gain weight if I drink sweet food at my age. I even have acne. Don¡¯t seduce me.¡± She was not allowed to refuse the opening of the new shop. Luo Feng immediately became a professional salesperson and introduced, ¡°You can choose the sweetness of the milk tea in our shop. If you don¡¯t like milk tea, there¡¯s also fruit tea. It¡¯s all fresh fruit juice.¡± Teacher Yu hesitated for a moment and swallowed. ¡°Is it really that good?¡± Luo Feng patted his chest and said, ¡°The operation is transparent to the buyers. Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll treat you to a drink.¡± Teacher Yu walked in and said as she walked, ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll buy a cup to add to your joy.¡± Teacher Yu¡¯s Difficult Choice Syndrome erupted like never before standing in front of the menu. Every milk tea was so cutely named and felt very delicious. The color of the milk tea was also very fresh and cute. A few minutes later, Teacher Yu finally hesitated over the results of the window. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have this Oolong Peach. Not too sweet.¡± ¡°Is a peach oolong with 10% sugar okay?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± The shop assistant¡¯s answer was energetic. Teacher Yu felt like she had returned to her teenage years. She was even more surprised when she received her anticipated milk tea. The light pink oolong tea had the fragrance of peaches. Teacher Yu took a sip and felt extremely stunned. She had never drunk such an adaptation of a fruit tea! ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Teacher Yu praised repeatedly before she could swallow the peach in her mouth. The other guests who were still watching were also moved by her emotions and came forward. ¡°Give me one too.¡± ¡°I have to choose the sugar level here? You¡¯re so particular here.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a reason why it¡¯s expensive. Give me one of these.¡± Teacher Yu¡¯s enjoyment attracted many customers. Luo Feng suddenly understood why there would be food bloggers in the future. Someone who ate food deliciously could really stimulate others¡¯ appetite. He could also set up an internet celebrity company when he had the time in the future. He planned his future development direction and prepared to expand his business. Chapter 54 ?54 I Love Him, So I Can¡¯t Owe Him The first day of business ended in chaos. ¡°Four Seasons Spring Tea, 32 cups.¡± ¡°Taro Boba Milk Green, 25 cups.¡± ¡°Hundred Fragrances Trio, 11 cups.¡± Ai Tingya leaned on the table and checked the receipts one by one. The more she read, the deeper her frown became. Luo Feng sat beside her and looked at her with his face propped up. ¡°I¡¯ve calculated it.¡± Ai Tingya sighed. ¡°How many did we earn?¡± The others surrounded her, thinking that it should be a large sum since there were so many people today! ¡°1,263 yuan,¡± Ai Tingya said with a pout. That figure was far from what she had expected. Adding rent, utilities, raw materials and labor costs together, they would not break even without 2,000 yuan of revenue a day. ¡°That¡¯s all¡­¡± Ai Tingya said discouraged. They had been busy for more than a month. They ran to a few construction materials markets before deciding on a board. They drank milk tea for a week to develop new products. Dean Du and everyone in the orphanage worked hard, but they only obtained a barely satisfactory result. Xiao Fei could not bear to see Ai Tingya cry. In her heart, Ai Tingya was the strongest person. When she cried, she would feel like crying too. Xiao Fei¡¯s eyes turned red and tears welled up staring at Ai Tingya¡¯s aggrieved back. She was about to go forward and comfort Ai Tingya when Dean Du stopped her. ¡°We won¡¯t be able to comfort her.¡± said the Dean as if she had seen through it. ¡°How could that be? In the past, I was the one who comforted Little Ya when she was sad!¡± Xiao Fei vowed. Before she could take a step forward, she saw Luo Feng hug Ai Tingya and stroke her hair as if he was coaxing a child. His words seemed to have magic. Ai Tingya¡¯s tears made a U-Turn before they fell. Xiao Fei was speechless as she watched from the side. These two people could really show off their love at any time. Why would they buy white sugar in the shop? It was sweet enough to put them in the shop. ¡°Director, your judgment is indeed accurate!¡± Little Fei said with gratitude. ¡­ At night, at the orphanage. After washing up, Xiao Fei returned to her room and realized that Ai Tingya was still lying at the table. Her posture had not changed since she had eaten. It was just a day¡¯s worth of accounts. Did she have to settle it for so long? ¡°Xiao Ya, it¡¯s time to sleep. You still have school tomorrow,¡± Xiao Fei reminded. Ever since the tuition, Ai Tingya would wake up at 6:30 a.m. every day. The dark circles under her eyes had clearly worsened. Xiao Fei hoped that she would use all the time she could to rest and sleep. ¡°Go to sleep first. I¡¯ll calculate for a while more.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s voice was hoarse. She held her forehead with one hand and kept writing in her notebook with the other. Xiao Fei said with heartache, ¡°Xiao Ya, it¡¯s still only so much no matter how you calculate today¡¯s turnover. Why don¡¯t you rest early and we¡¯ll continue working hard tomorrow?¡± Ai Tingya shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m not calculating the turnover. I¡¯m calculating how long it will take to repay what I owe Luo Feng¡­¡± ¡°Xiao Ya, you don¡¯t have to do this at all. Luo Feng was the one who wanted to invest in the milk tea shop. You don¡¯t owe him anything. Don¡¯t give yourself too much pressure,¡± Xiao Fei advised. ¡°No, I don¡¯t think that¡¯s how it is. Luo Feng wouldn¡¯t have gotten involved in the orphanage if it weren¡¯t for me. The more he sacrificed for me, the more I feel that I¡¯m not worthy of him. I hope that I¡¯m equal to him. Only then will I have the courage to stand beside him,¡± Ai Tingya said. Towards the end, even someone as stubborn as her was filled with tears. ¡°Xiao Ya, the most important thing for you now is the college entrance examination. It won¡¯t be too late to settle it slowly after it ends.¡± Xiao Fei did not understand why Ai Tingya was in a hurry to report to Luo Feng. ¡°Tomorrow and tomorrow. There are so many tomorrow. The milk tea shop is open for business. We can¡¯t delay these things.¡± Ai Tingya wanted to make the milk tea shop profitable as soon as possible so that Luo Feng could recover his capital faster. Xiao Fei was touched by Ai Tingya¡¯s persistence. She held Ai Tingya¡¯s hands and said, ¡°Xiao Ya, you¡¯re so awesome! In that case, I¡¯ll help you tidy up! Let¡¯s come up with a plan to sell milk tea. We¡¯ll sell a lot of milk tea!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Ai Tingya wiped her tears and continued working hard. She felt that she was really lucky to have a good lover like Luo Feng and Xiao Fei accompany her. ¡­ Ai Tingya decided to start with the school first. New things attracted young people the most. It was also for the sake of the school¡¯s traffic when they chose the location of the shop previously. Ai Tingya began to have a goal to attract customers due to the fact that they could not advertise in the school openly¡ª That was, to choose students! As long as one student was mesmerized by the milk tea, he would definitely help promote it for free in class. Hence, Ai Tingya especially reminded the person who distributed the flyers to seize the time when the students were eating and try his best to send the flyers to the students. Ai Tingya insisted on bringing Teacher Yu a cup of milk tea every day also. While she said that she was grateful for Teacher Yu¡¯s help, she actually hoped that she could help promote it. The students subconsciously felt that what the teacher had said was good after all. Just like that, under Ai Tingya¡¯s arrangements, the number of children in school uniforms in the milk tea shop increased. Students drinking milk tea could be seen everywhere on the campus. The news of Luo Feng and Ai Tingya opening a milk tea shop gradually spread throughout Class One. Xing Miaomiao lay on the table and whined as if she had been beaten. Her best friend was very curious when she saw her half-dead appearance. ¡°Miaomiao, what¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡± Xing Miaomiao raised her head and said weakly, ¡°I feel that I might never have any more joy in my life!¡± ¡°You were dumped?¡± Her best friend said in surprise. ¡°¡­No.¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s Luo Feng again? Did you fail in your revenge?¡± Her best friend still remembered that Xing Miaomiao had said that she wanted to teach Luo Feng a lesson. She had never seen her move and thought that she had long forgotten about it. Xing Miaomiao did not want to talk to her about this. She had wanted to frame Luo Feng during the last exam, but he had long finished his paper and did not give her a chance. Later on, Luo Feng lectured during evening self-study class. After listening to it, her results had indeed improved slightly. If she took revenge again, it would be a little like repaying kindness with ingratitude, so she simply threw it to the back of her mind. ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I recently discovered a very good milk tea. That taste. I can¡¯t drink other drinks after drinking it once.¡± ¡°The one outside the school gate? Did you finish spending your allowance? Let me treat you to a drink. Pull yourself together,¡± Her best friend comforted. ¡°I can¡¯t pull myself together! I saw the waiter at Good Me Milk Tea Shop calling Ai Tingya¡¯s lady boss. Then Luo Feng must be the boss! How can I enter again!¡± Xing Miaomiao said frantically. Chapter 55 ?55 Classmates Repaying Gratitude, We¡¯re Going to Make Big Money! ¡°This is indeed a difficult problem. Why don¡¯t I help you buy it? I don¡¯t have any grudges with Luo Feng,¡± her best friend volunteered, feeling a little sorry for Xing Miaomiao. In the past, Luo Feng liked Xing Miaomiao so much that he circled around her like a little bee. However, Xing Miaomiao looked down on Luo Feng at that time and only liked the feeling of being flattered, so she had been fishing for Luo Feng. Now, Luo Feng had become handsome and his results had improved. He even took the time to start a side business and become a boss. The person he liked was also no longer Xing Miaomiao. She had missed the opportunity! ¡°Buying milk tea alone is not enough. The service in that shop is also very good. I¡¯ll only be in a good mood sitting inside sipping my tea, do you understand?¡± Xing Miaomiao tried her best to describe the feeling of floating. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Her best friend shook her head. ¡°Do you want milk tea or not?!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Xing Miaomiao raised her hand and said, ¡°But I need to think of a reason, help me think of one too!¡± As the saying went, you couldn¡¯t have both the fish and the bear paw, but Xing Miaomiao insisted on trying to satisfy her desires while protecting her pride. At this moment, Lei Jin walked in with a cup of milk tea. He swaggered to the podium. ¡°Students, my cute milk green is made from top-notch green tea and milk. It¡¯s sweet and not greasy. One cup will chase away the fatigue of learning.¡± ¡°Is it really that magical? How much advertising fee did they give you?¡± A male student laughed. Most of the students had heard of Luo Feng¡¯s milk tea but had never drunk it before because it was relatively more expensive. Xing Miaomiao turned around and glared at the boy¡ª He didn¡¯t know what was good for him! She would have been the one standing on the podium if not for the awkward relationship between her and Luo Feng! ¡°I¡¯m really not lying to you. You can see the process of making the milk tea. It¡¯s really worth this price!¡± Lei Jin took a sip of the milk tea and rolled his eyes in intoxication. ¡°Is that true? Don¡¯t lie to us, bro!¡± A classmate said indignantly. ¡°That¡¯s Luo Feng¡¯s shop even though I think milk tea is a little expensive. He shouldn¡¯t lie, right?¡± ¡°I think so too. His results are good and he¡¯s a good person after all. I think many people from Class Two will patronize Luo Feng¡¯s shop.¡± ¡°No way. Having good results doesn¡¯t mean he has a good character. Seeing is believing.¡± ¡°But can you say that Luo Feng¡¯s character is bad? He¡¯s obligated to teach us every night without asking for anything in return.¡± For some reason, the discussion about milk tea inexplicably shifted to Luo Feng¡¯s personality, then to the evening self-study session, and finally to his academic results. ¡°I¡¯ve improved a lot after listening to Luo Feng¡¯s class! I understood the knowledge points that I didn¡¯t understand in the past as soon as he explained them.¡± ¡°My math score increased by 30 points in the last exam. My mother was overjoyed!¡± ¡°Luo Feng is really unreserved to us. It¡¯s obvious at a glance if we follow his train of thought. I¡¯ve already written a notebook. I want to keep it as a memento after the college entrance examination!¡± ¡°I heard that after Teacher Zhang of Class Two found out that Luo Feng¡¯s class suppressed Class Two, he had been giving Class Two papers everyday. They are complaining that they don¡¯t want to learn anymore.¡± ¡°Serves them right! Who asked them to laugh at us in the past?¡± ¡°This is all thanks to Luo Feng!¡± Someone shouted and the students immediately fell silent. Actually, everyone could find out that Luo Feng opened the milk tea shop for the orphanage if they tried to find out. Logically speaking, they should go to the milk tea shop to support the business even if it was to return Luo Feng¡¯s favor. But they did not go because of this and that. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to the milk tea shop and buy some drinks? It isn¡¯t that expensive if the materials used are good.¡± Someone in the crowd suggested and immediately received a response from everyone. Xing Miaomiao, who had been watching, seized this opportunity. She stood up and flipped her hair. ¡°I¡¯ll treat you today since everyone wants milk tea.¡± A classmate smiled and said, ¡°Xing Miaomiao, if you want to express goodwill to Luo Feng, just say so. Why are you using us as a cover?¡± ¡°I do!¡± He would be a fool not to drink it. ¡°Then shut up!¡± Xing Miaomiao said fiercely. It was a little expensive to treat more than 40 people in the class to milk tea for a cup of milk tea, but Xing Miaomiao felt that it was worth it. She didn¡¯t know when she would be able to find a suitable reason next. As soon as he finished speaking, the students rushed out in full strength and ran towards the school gate. The milk tea shop was close to class, and there were fewer customers in the shop. Ai Tingya helped to pack up the things on the operating table. ¡°Lady Boss, we¡¯ll go back first.¡± Lu Zhao waved her hand. ¡°Alright, be careful on the road,¡± Ai Tingya said. Only one waiter and one tea maker were usually left to guard the shop as there were not many customers at night. Ai Tingya continued to tidy up with her head lowered. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhao was pushed back by a group of people before she could walk out of the shop! Ai Tingya saw familiar faces crowding in front of the operating table. The completeness of the class made her wonder why her classmates were here. ¡°Lady Boss, give me the most expensive drink on your menu!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I want the most expensive one too!¡± ¡°Hurry up, or class will start!¡± Her classmates were like chicks in a cage, shaking their heads and talking at once. Ai Tingya immediately took action and began to boil water, boil tea, and squeeze fruit juice. Lu Zhao, who was preparing to go home, also put down her bag and greeted the guests with another waiter. Xing Miaomiao, who was hiding in a corner, heard the orders one after another and silently tightened her grip on her wallet. I wouldn¡¯t have said I would treat everyone if I knew this would happen¡­ Xing Miaomiao¡¯s heart was bleeding for her purse while Ai Tingya was sweating profusely. Back then, Luo Feng left a large area of blank space for guests and landlords when he designed the shop in order to reflect the simplicity and high-end style.The furnishings were all in a minimalist style. However, there was clearly not enough space for more than 40 people to be inside. Many students squatting by the roadside shouted their orders into the shop. ¡°Classmates, don¡¯t squeeze. One by one.¡± Ai Tingya tried her best to stabilize the order and speed up her movements. She was overjoyed as she listened to the orders. They were finally going to get the capital back after two weeks! She only hated herself for only having two hands. Otherwise, they would be served faster! ¡°Hold on for a while. I¡¯ll call for help immediately!¡± Ai Tingya took the opportunity to hide under the table and hurriedly called Luo Feng. At this moment, Luo Feng had just finished shopping on the snack street and was about to go to the milk tea shop to pick up Ai Tingya and return to the classroom. He received a call from Ai Tingya unexpectedly. It was noisy there. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Tingya? Why is it so noisy on your side?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s eyes were twitching. He felt that something bad was about to happen. Ai Tingya¡¯s happy voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°Luo Feng, our classmates are here to buy milk tea. Come over quickly. We¡¯re too busy!¡± ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng did not hear clearly. ¡°Come and help us. We¡¯re going to make big money!¡± The busy tone came from the receiver before Luo Feng could ask in detail. Ai Tingya hung up and Luo Feng only heard the words ¡°make big money¡±. His heart skipped a beat. He could not invest anymore! Chapter 56 ?56 Why Don¡¯t We Have A Star Student in Our Class? Luo Feng hurriedly rushed back to the milk tea shop and realized that the small shop had become a can of sardines. It was filled with his classmates, and there was no space at all. ¡°Please let me in!¡± Luo Feng tried his best to wiggle in. He was pushed out by a male classmate. ¡°Queue up if you want to drink milk tea. Have you ever drank anything good?¡± Luo Feng was speechless. ¡°None of you will be able to drink it if I don¡¯t get in.¡± These words sounded a little arrogant. The male student sneered and turned around to teach him a lesson, but saw that it was Luo Feng. The male student immediately called out to the others, ¡°Give way! Luo Feng is back!¡± The students rubbing shoulders were like a sponge holding water. There was space after squeezing, leaving a path as wide as a person for Luo Feng. Luo Feng walked into the bar and saw Ai Tingya making milk tea non-stop. Luo Feng took the two orders and began to get busy. The classmates who were waiting to be fed stared at the two of them, afraid that they would miss every detail. As cup after cup of milk tea was handed to his classmates, the cashier opened and closed, turning and turning again. The gears were grinding until they were hot. Luo Feng was used to swiping his card so it had been a long time since he had felt his hands go weak from collecting money. The few of them busied themselves for half an hour before the last student walked out of the shop with milk tea in his hand. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you. Class is about to start. Don¡¯t forget.¡± The classmates didn¡¯t forget to remind them kindly. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were so tired that they could barely raise their hands. They tidied up briefly and left the closing task to the shop assistant. Then, they dragged their tired bodies back to the classroom. Even though Ai Tingya was tired, she was as happy as the June sun. She could even laugh when she looked at the empty blackboard. Luo Feng was extremely conflicted. There were many ways to earn money after all. Selling physical strength to make hard money, or waiting for money to make money, even an idiot would choose the second option. However, Luo Feng clearly felt that he was running wildly towards the first option. Ai Tingya shook his arm excitedly. ¡°If business continues to be so good, not only will the orphanage¡¯s crisis be resolved, we can also open a branch!¡± Luo Feng did not want to pour cold water on her. Opening a branch was not something that could be done with money alone. Renovation, ingredients, location, storefronts, and so on had to be done all over again. Moreover, one store was already enough to tire them out. He did not want to tire Ai Tingya out. Hence, he pretended to be serious and said, ¡°Tingya, have you forgotten our main job?¡± Luo Feng continued, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about opening a branch after the college entrance examination. Study hard now!¡± Ai Tingya nodded thoughtfully hearing this, thinking to herself that she still had so much to learn, but she was so charmed by just a little success. She really should learn more from Luo Feng. Her expression was solemn as she hugged her book piously. She abandoned all distracting thoughts and focused on doing the questions. Luo Feng did not study after he finished educating Ai Tingya. He supported his face and admired his girlfriend who was studying seriously. At this moment, Teacher Yu had floated behind Luo Feng and was staring at the back of his head with a resentful expression. ¡°Your words are so pretty. Why don¡¯t I see you studying seriously?¡± Teacher Yu complained. Luo Feng was shocked by the spirit behind him. Previously, Teacher Yu had handed the class to Luo Feng without worry while she sat at the back and secretly took notes. Why did she suddenly think of presiding over the overall situation today? ¡°Teacher Yu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng asked. She walked up to the podium and slapped the table. ¡°Students, the second targeted examination is next week. In order not to delay Student Luo Feng¡¯s revision, he won¡¯t be lecturing during the evening self-study for the next two days. Our teachers will be in the office. If you don¡¯t understand anything, feel free to ask. The teachers will be happy to answer your questions.¡± Teacher Yu came here to announce this and to give Luo Feng enough time to revise. Actually, Luo Feng did not mind. He was also revising in the process of explaining the questions to his classmates. However, since it was Teacher Yu¡¯s kind intentions, he had more time to be lovey dovey during the evening self-study¡­ No, to discuss problems with Ai Tingya. ¡°Thank you, Teacher Yu.¡± Luo Feng looked up and smiled. Teacher Yu thought that he had finally understood her painstaking efforts. She patted Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder when she passed by Luo Feng. ¡°Do your best. You must bring me glory!¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Teacher Yu finally left the classroom in satisfaction with Luo Feng¡¯s confirmation. ¡­ A week later, the second targeted examination arrived. It was similar to the first targeted examination. The difficulty of the question was similar to the college entrance examination. The setting of the examination hall was also copied from the college entrance examination, so that the students could adapt to the examination atmosphere. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were ranked according to their results and were still sitting in the examination hall of Class One. The bell rang on the radio and two invigilators walked in. What surprised Luo Feng was that the invigilator was not Teacher Yu, but Teacher Zhang from Class Two. As soon as he entered, his eyes were fixed on Luo Feng. That complicated gaze of envy and jealousy lingered between Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. Teacher Zhang¡¯s faith was unbearable. Why was Teacher Yu so lucky that the first and second place in the entire school were in her class alone? Following the order of seats, Teacher Zhang¡¯s gaze jumped six seats before she saw the first place in their class¡ª Wen Ji. He was trying his best to push the unconvinced pen into the pen tube. Why is the first place in his class like this?! As Teacher Zhang tore open the test paper, he asked how unfair it was in his heart. How was his class inferior to Class One? Teacher Yu walked around proudly, even the vice-principal was especially biased towards her. This is fate¡­ Teacher Zhang sighed repeatedly in his heart and distributed the test papers. The bell rang, and the examinees began to answer the questions. Two invigilators guarded the students from the front and back respectively. They looked unsmiling, and their eyes were as sharp as laser lights. Actually, they did not dare to do anything. They were so bored that they could only stare at the air in a daze. As a result, Teacher Zhang¡¯s eyes kept glued to Luo Feng¡¯s body uncontrollably, as if he was looking at a shining piece of gold with a ¡°You can only see but not touch¡± sign beside it. He put his hands in his pockets and pretended to patrol the middle of the aisle unintentionally. He would peek at Luo Feng¡¯s paper every time he passed by and then look at Ai Tingya¡¯s paper. Ai Tingya was a little slower than Luo Feng. Luo Feng had already begun to do the third page while Ai Tingya was still on the second page half an hour later. However, she was relatively fast. The other students were still working on the first page. Teacher Zhang made a simple comparison and realized that their answers were similar. This was a math test, and the answers were fixed. The fact that two students with excellent results had written the same answer meant that this was the standard answer! Chapter 57 ?57 I Don¡¯t Want to Be Proud, But My Strength Forces Me To Be Two students gave the same standard answer. Teacher Zhang was so envious that he went crazy, feeling like a cat was scratching his heart. He walked to Wen Ji¡¯s side to hopefully gain some balance in his heart. This student who was first in Class Two and sixth in the cohort shouldn¡¯t be too bad at answering questions, right? It was fine if he did not look, but he was shocked when he saw it. Why were there only a few answers that were the same as Luo Feng on half of Wen Ji¡¯s paper? Wasn¡¯t this wrong? Teacher Zhang did not believe it. He simply crossed his arms and calculated in his heart. Indeed, Wen Ji had answered wrongly! Teacher Zhang was so angry that smoke was coming out of his mouth. One of his feet trembled uneasily. Even a vegetable could not remain calm with a teacher standing at the side shaking his legs. Wen Ji raised his head with a bitter expression, as if he had seen an angry King Kong. He was so frightened that his forehead was covered in sweat. He did not know what crime he had committed to let Teacher Zhang supervise his paper alone. Wen Ji thought that he did the question wrongly and shakily blacked out the answer beside what he wrote. ¡°That¡¯s the right one! Why did you black it out?!¡± Teacher Zhang roared in his heart, wishing he could do the papers himself. He widened his eyes and kept signaling with his eyes for Wen Ji to recalculate and check properly. Wen Ji also raised his head, as if asking Teacher Zhang if this was the case. In the end, he met the teacher¡¯s wide eyes and almost peed his pants. Teacher Zhang closed his eyes and pinched his glabella. He could not look anymore. If he did, his lifespan would be shortened. After taking a few steps back, he realized that Luo Feng was already in a daze with his legs crossed. ¡°You¡¯re done so quickly.¡± Teacher Zhang glanced at the clock on the wall. It had only been an hour since the exam started! Luo Feng was already done?! Teacher Zhang stopped beside him and tapped his fingers on the table, indicating for Luo Feng to check carefully and not look around to disturb the order of the examination hall. Luo Feng pulled up the paper expressionlessly. On it was a neat list of draft solutions. He had written each solution twice, proving that Luo Feng had checked it twice. Teacher Zhang knew that Luo Feng¡¯s results were very good, but he did not expect them to be that good! He could not do it at Luo Feng¡¯s speed even if he were to answer the questions himself! Such a good student was simply the most eye-catching badge of an outstanding teacher! He would be able to do whatever he wanted in school in five years to be lucky enough to teach such a good student! Teacher Zhang drooled with envy at the thought that Luo Feng was in Teacher Yu¡¯s class. ¡°Yes, don¡¯t look around,¡± Teacher Zhang reminded Luo Feng. His words were really against his will. Luo Feng was just a walking answer book. There was no need to do anything to jeopardize that. He began to patrol with mixed feelings and walked to another corner of the classroom. The other invigilator guarding the back door was also bored and stared at the back of the students¡¯ heads in a daze. Teacher Zhang passed by him coincidentally. The invigilator stopped him and whispered, ¡°Teacher Zhang, what is Luo Feng doing? Why is he always twisting back?¡± Teacher Zhang looked up. As expected, Luo Feng, who was sitting in the first row, turned his body sideways and looked at Ai Tingya, who was in the second row, in an awkward posture. Teacher Zhang quickly walked over and asked in a low voice, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Luo Feng pointed at Ai Tingya confidently and said, ¡°I¡¯m looking at her.¡± Ai Tingya, who was engrossed in her questions, blushed and the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably. Teacher Zhang¡¯s scalp went numb from their lovey-dovey display. Didn¡¯t they say that everyone only had one brain? How could an outstanding star student¡¯s brain be stained with the vice of being in love? Then, he saw Ai Tingya complete the test paper and put down her pen. She supported her chin with both hands and looked at Luo Feng affectionately. ¡°¡­¡± Teacher Zhang was speechless, feeling like he was a busybody. Why did he have to worry about a young couple and be fed dog food? ¡°I really can¡¯t stand the two of you.¡± Teacher Zhang was embarrassed, but he was shouting unwillingly in his heart. They were actually able to firmly rank first or second with their examination attitudes. Teacher Yu¡¯s discipline of the two of them was too loose. Teacher Zhang felt that if Luo Feng and the other two were in his class, he would definitely pull them back. Their results would definitely improve if they focused all their attention on their studies. Unfortunately, he could only be envious! ¡­ The two-day examination ended quickly and the results of the Third High School came out very quickly. Teacher Yu held the report card and sat in her seat, sighing. Her sigh was too loud. The other teachers asked curiously, ¡°Teacher Yu, your class did very well this time. Why do you always sigh?¡± Teacher Yu clenched her fists. ¡°I hate that this isn¡¯t the college entrance examination.¡± The other teachers, including Teacher Zhang, who was not far away, pricked up their ears to listen to her thinking. Teacher Yu said regretfully, ¡°Look at Luo Feng¡¯s full marks. Ai Tingya¡¯s essay only had a few points deducted. One of them is first, and the other is second. If this is the college entrance examination results, they will definitely be the top scorers.¡± ¡°Also, the other students in our class have also improved greatly. 20 from my class have entered the top 50 of the cohort, accounting for half of them!¡± ¡°Look here. The worst student in our class is ranked 124th in the entire school. I¡¯ll wake up laughing in my dreams if this is their college entrance examination results!¡± The other teachers shrunk their necks and thought to themselves, ¡®Aren¡¯t you asking for too much?¡¯ The results of Class One were already unprecedented in their school! It was too luxurious no matter how one looked at it! The teachers smiled helplessly and dispersed, lest they be angered to death by Teacher Yu¡¯s smugness. Teacher Yu was overjoyed. She felt that she had not said enough and needed to focus on hitting Teacher Zhang. She took the report card and went to Teacher Zhang¡¯s side. She said in slight distress, ¡°Teacher Zhang, I think your class¡¯s performance this time is also stable. The average score is about the same as the first examination.¡± ¡°Teach me how to stabilize the students¡¯ results. I¡¯m really afraid that they¡¯ll become proud.¡± Teacher Zhang gritted his teeth and forced a smile. ¡°The students know their limits. Don¡¯t worry too much. Just trust them.¡± He kept roaring in his heart. You¡¯re the proudest teacher in the entire school. Don¡¯t show off in front of me! Teacher Zhang laughed and said, ¡°I won¡¯t chat with you anymore. The students are still waiting for me to announce the results.¡± Teacher Yu stopped him. ¡°You¡¯re leaving so soon? I wanted to discuss the average score with you. Teacher Zhang, when are you free?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not free.¡± Teacher Zhang bypassed her and jogged out of the office. In the past, he had always compared his average score with Teacher Yu. Staying here would only invite humiliation now that he could not compare to her! Teacher Yu shook the report card regretfully. ¡°That¡¯s true. I¡¯ll go take a look at my hardworking students too. Teacher Zhang, wait for me. Let¡¯s go together.¡± Chapter 58 ?58 It¡¯s Finally Someone¡¯s Turn To Give Us Gifts After So Many Years ¡°Quiet! Everyone, quiet. Do you think you did well this time?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t ask you to be top-notch like Luo Feng, but don¡¯t regress! Look at your results this time, how many ranks have you fallen!¡± ¡°If this continues, why still take the college entrance examination? Wouldn¡¯t it be better if you just went home for the summer vacation!¡± ¡°How many times have I told you? Check carefully. Don¡¯t be conflicted. You have to firmly believe in your feelings and have some confidence in yourself, especially you, Wen Ji. Look, the answers you changed were all correct. You didn¡¯t make a firm choice, which means that your grasp of knowledge is not solid enough!¡± In Class Two next door, Teacher Zhang¡¯s scolding could be heard throughout the entire floor. The pointer hit the table with a bang. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that Class Two¡¯s classroom was being renovated. Teacher Yu stood at the back of the classroom and pricked up her ears to listen to the commotion next door. She was extremely happy. It had been many years since she had been able to hold her head high in front of Teacher Zhang. It was all thanks to her cute students that she could grow her pride this time! ¡°Ahem! Students, have you seen your results?¡± Teacher Yu tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart and pretended to be calm as she walked to the podium. ¡°Class Two next door did well this time, but you can hear that Teacher Zhang is still very dissatisfied from his movements next door. However, I definitely won¡¯t be as fierce as him. Let¡¯s conclude calmly.¡± She actually wanted to give her classmates a thumbs up and praise them with all the words of praise she had learned in her life. However, she was afraid that the students would become proud, so she could only treat the joyous occasion as an ordinary exam. ¡°Students, are you satisfied with the results this time?¡± Teacher Yu asked. ¡°Satisfied!¡± The students below replied in unison. Bang! There was another loud bang from the next class. Then, Teacher Zhang said hysterically, ¡°Everyone, copy the answers to the questions you got wrong 10 times.¡± One could tell that he had been greatly stimulated just by listening to the commotion. Teacher Yu was so happy that she wanted to roll on the ground. She continued to forcefully calm down and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be affected by the class next door. Everyone, continue to summarize. I see that a few students have made great progress. Stand up and tell me your feelings. Ke Jiang, you go first.¡± Ke Jiang, who was sitting in the second last row, stood up and licked his lips excitedly. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ve recently discovered the trick to studying. No, it should be Luo Feng who helped me discover the trick. It¡¯s more convenient to memorize the notes using his method. Thank you, Luo Feng!¡± Clap¡ª Applause sounded in the classroom. All the students agreed with Ke Jiang and nodded. ¡°I¡¯m also very grateful to Luo Feng. He was still willing to teach me again after the evening self-study class. The reason why I did well is because of Luo Feng!¡± ¡°I feel the same. I¡¯ve never liked studying so much¡­¡± ¡°Me too¡­¡± The few students who were praised thanked Luo Feng immediately. Teacher Yu was also indescribably happy, but she felt that something was missing. At this moment, another girl stood up. ¡°I¡¯m different. I am still doing questions every day when I go back to the dormitory. I hide under the blanket and read even when the lights are off. I think the improvement in my results has a lot to do with my own efforts, but I did have external stimuli. I have someone to thank.¡± A different opening statement meant that the person she was thanking was different. Teacher Yu craned her neck, her face filled with anticipation, hoping to hear the name she wanted to hear the most from the girl. ¡°Thank you, Luo Feng!¡± The girl thanked him very seriously as if she was reciting a poem. This made the students admire him even more. The discussion in the classroom was very lively. Teacher Yu stood on the podium that no one cared about with mixed emotions. As a form teacher, her presence seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. Why didn¡¯t any students thank me? I¡¯m still waiting! ¡°Students, don¡¯t be arrogant.¡± Teacher Yu concluded sourly. ¡°You have to work harder and maintain your current results to get into good universities that you like!¡± ¡­ And the title of the most outstanding form teacher would also fall into our class! Teacher Yu arranged for school to end not long after class because they did well, giving the students half a day to relax. It was called a work-rest balance. Class One was also the focus of the school¡¯s leaders. The other classes, who were still doing questions, were simply crying with envy. Every student was full of smiles and went home with satisfied results. Ai Tingya had something to do at the milk tea shop, so Luo Feng went home first. Luo Feng nestled on the sofa and watched television after dinner that night. Suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door. He left the opportunity to open the door to Mother Luo and returned to his room to sleep thinking that Mother Luo¡¯s dance partners were here for her. Mother Luo opened the door and saw a few middle-aged men and women she did not know. They were gathered at the door and staring at her. ¡°Who¡­ Are you looking for?¡± Mother Luo was a little nervous to be in front of many people. All kinds of possibilities flashed through her mind. Could Luo Feng have caused trouble outside again? ¡°Are you Luo Feng¡¯s mother?¡± The bearded man¡¯s voice was very rough. Mother Luo was a little unconfident. ¡°I¡­ I am. Why?¡± Big Brother smiled and raised a carton of milk with his hands behind his back unexpectedly. ¡°Big Sister, I can tell that you have an extraordinary temperament. That¡¯s why you can teach a good child with outstanding results. I¡¯m here to thank Student Luo Feng for helping my son improve his results!¡± ¡°I¡¯m Ke Jiang¡¯s mother. Our Ke Jiang has never done so well!¡± ¡°Our child said that Luo Feng tutors everyone during self-study every night. It¡¯s a small gift. Don¡¯t mind it.¡± Only then did Mother Luo see clearly that everyone was carrying things in their hands. There were fruits, snacks, and a parent carrying half a plate of pork ribs. The color of the meat was pink and beautiful. It was obvious that they were farmers. The people standing outside the door were all parents who were here to thank Luo Feng. When Luo Feng was young, he was mischievous and often beat his classmates up until they cried. She even compensated others with a lot of things previously. After so many years, she finally saw gifts being sent back. Coincidentally, Luo Feng, who was in the room, heard the commotion at the door and walked out. ¡°Mom, why are there so many people?¡± Luo Feng stared at the uncles and aunties at the door in confusion. The parent at the door sized up Luo Feng. ¡°Aiyo, Student Luo Feng is really a talent. No wonder my child always praises you.¡± ¡°Come, come, come. This apple is very sweet. Student Luo Feng, try it!¡± ¡°The ribs are nourishing for the child. Take them.¡± Mother Luo couldn¡¯t take them all with both hands, so she could only invite them into the house. ¡°You¡¯re too kind. Come in and sit for a while.¡± It would be unreasonable if she did not entertain them since they had already given her family gifts. Luo Feng also understood why they were here and said humbly, ¡°Yes, Uncle and Auntie came all the way here. Come in and have some tea.¡± Chapter 59 ?59 Free Advertisement In The Milk Tea Shop, The Effect Is Great The parents of the classmates were here to give gifts, not to freeload on them. ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. The children are at the critical moment of preparing for the exam. We won¡¯t go in and disturb you. I¡¯ll go back first today. I¡¯ll definitely thank you solemnly another day.¡± Ke Jiang¡¯s mother said. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We¡¯ll go back first.¡± ¡°Thank you, Luo Feng, I¡¯ll come and see you next time.¡± The parents put down their things and left. Mama Luo stood in the middle of the gifts all over the ground, so happy that she did not know where to start. ¡°Aiyo, aiyo, with so many good things, son, you¡¯ve really made your mother proud!¡± Mother Luo happily cupped Luo Feng¡¯s face and gave him a big kiss on the forehead. Mother Luo had never been so excited ever since Luo Feng graduated from primary school. ¡°I thought they were here to settle scores. It nearly scared me to death. I almost threw you out.¡± Mama Luo hugged the half of the pork ribs lovingly. ¡°This cost a lot.¡± Luo Feng laughed: ¡°Mom, are you planning to put righteousness before family?¡± Mother Luo smiled and said, ¡°How would I know that you¡¯re so promising that you can get someone to send gifts to the door? I¡¯ll stew the ribs immediately. Bring some for Tingya tomorrow morning.¡± Luo Feng looked out the window. The streetlights had been on for a long time and he was about to go to sleep. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too late to make soup now? Why don¡¯t you make it tomorrow?¡± Luo Feng advised. Mama Luo pursed her lips. ¡°My silly son, why aren¡¯t you sensible? Who will know that my son earned the pork ribs if I wait until tomorrow to stew it? The fragrance will only waft into their houses when no one else is cooking.¡± So she wants to show off. Luo Feng couldn¡¯t persuade her either. ¡°Don¡¯t be so happy that you can¡¯t sleep. Rest early.¡± ¡­ The next morning, Luo Feng carried a bowl of pork ribs soup to school. Lei Jin jumped out from the side of the road just as he reached the intersection. ¡°What good stuff did you bring for Ai Tingya today? Let me take a look.¡± Lei Jin stretched his neck, very interested in the bowl in Luo Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°Pork rib soup. Come to my house to drink it after school. There¡¯s still a lot.¡± ¡°Oh~¡± Lei Jin dragged out his words. ¡°The pork ribs from Xing Xiaomao¡¯s father, right? You should indeed treat me to a bowl.¡± When Luo Feng heard this, he immediately understood more than half of it: ¡°You gave the directions to those uncles and aunties, right? I was wondering how they found my house so accurately.¡± Of course, Lei Jin wouldn¡¯t miss the opportunity to take credit. ¡°It¡¯s not a bad thing. It¡¯s also a token of appreciation from my classmate¡¯s parents, so I helped lead the way. Is your mother so happy that she couldn¡¯t sleep the entire night?¡± ¡°Pretty much.¡± ¡°There¡¯s another piece of good news. You¡¯ll be happy to hear it!¡± Luo Feng stopped and waited for Lei Jin to tell him the good news. Lei Jin said proudly, ¡°I¡¯ve pulled in a lot of business for your milk tea shop. Remember to treat me to a big meal when you earn money.¡± It turned out that last night, Lei Jin¡¯s friend from another class came to ask him why Class One¡¯s results were so outstanding and if they had developed some magical learning method. Therefore, Lei Jin told them: ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s milk tea has a miraculous effect. Our class drank milk tea and were especially motivated to learn!¡± ¡°How can he not believe me? The reality is right here,¡± Lei Jin said proudly. ¡°Besides, sugar can indeed stimulate the brain. I¡¯m not lying.¡± This was a free advertisement for Luo Feng¡¯s milk tea shop. The original main target consumer group of the milk tea shop at the entrance of the school was students. In Lei Jin¡¯s estimation, the turnover of the milk tea shop would definitely increase. Luo Feng¡¯s reaction was not strong. He said calmly, ¡°No one will believe this, right? Thank you anyway.¡± The two of them chatted as they walked towards the school. When he was about to reach school, Luo Feng felt that something was amiss¡ª Why were there so many students on the road today? He left late and might only enter the school gate when the bell rings due to the hot soup this morning. Usually, there shouldn¡¯t be many people on the road at this time. Why were there so many students from his school today? Moreover, judging from the direction they were moving in, their destination seemed to be the shops in front of the school gate. Lei Jin, who was following beside him, also noticed the abnormality. ¡°Why do I feel that they¡¯re walking towards your milk tea shop?¡± He really could not think of anything in that direction that would attract students more than the school gate. Morning wasn¡¯t the main business time of the milk tea shop. Luo Feng was half-believing and half-doubting as he wanted to go to the milk tea shop to take a look. He saw that the shop was filled with customers before he reached the door unexpectedly. It was even more exaggerated than the last time his classmates came to buy his milk tea together! Not only were there students, but there were also parents holding briefcases. The uncles and aunties who had gone out to buy fried dough sticks in the morning were also trying their best to squeeze into the shop. The bosses of the shops beside them were also standing by the roadside to watch the commotion. They had been doing business on this street for more than 10 years, but they had never seen such a big scene. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that the milk tea shop was giving away money for free. Xiao Fei, who was in charge of looking after the shop today, was extremely busy. Luo Feng felt that the doorway might explode if he didn¡¯t maintain order. He stood outside the door and shouted, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t squeeze. Don¡¯t squeeze. Be careful of your feet!¡± However, no one listened to him, especially the uncles and aunties. They looked weak on the surface, but when they snatched things, they were not inferior to the young people. Luo Feng scratched his head and said in confusion, ¡°It¡¯s just a cup of milk tea, why is it so popular?¡± When the auntie who was at the outermost area heard this, she explained enthusiastically, ¡°Student, you don¡¯t know yet, right? This milk tea is very magical. It can make people focus on their studies. It¡¯s more useful than any tonic!¡± ¡°???¡± It has such an effect? Even Luo Feng, who was the boss, didn¡¯t know about that! Another uncle added, ¡°It¡¯s not that mystica, it¡¯s just to improve memory and is helpful for studies!¡± ¡°From who?¡± Luo Feng was surprised, ¡°It¡¯s just a tastier drink, it doesn¡¯t have all that rubbish effects.¡± ¡°It does! My son¡¯s classmate asked. It was a third-year student from Class One who personally admitted that the improvement in his results was because he drank milk tea!¡± The uncle retorted firmly. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I must snatch a cup for my son today!¡± ¡°I heard that it had a miraculous effect, so I came to buy it early in the morning.¡± The other parents echoed and did not forget to squeeze in. Luo Feng looked speechlessly at Lei Jin beside him and said with mixed feelings, ¡°It¡¯s all due to your rumor, what do you think we should do?¡± Lei Jin tiptoed and looked at the pitiful Xiao Fei in the shop. He said seriously, ¡°I think we should call your wife here. You guys will not tire from working together. You can make it through this morning. Good luck!¡± Chapter 60 ?60 What¡¯s Mine Is Yours, Dear Lady Boss ¡°That¡¯s not the problem now, do you know that you¡¯re spreading falsehoods?¡± Luo Feng placed his hands on his hips. He didn¡¯t know that Lei Jin¡¯s casual words could spread so far. The parents of the students nearby were probably squeezing in to buy milk tea. ¡°It¡¯s only been a night. I didn¡¯t expect the news to spread so quickly and so ridiculously,¡± Lei Jin said aggrievedly. ¡°What do you think we should do now? I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± ¡°What else can we do, just explain to them honestly.¡± Luo Feng said helplessly. He patted the auntie¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Auntie, this is an ordinary milk tea shop. The milk tea sold doesn¡¯t have the effect you mentioned. Don¡¯t blindly follow the trend.¡± The auntie hesitated for a moment. ¡°Who cares? I¡¯d rather believe it than not! I want to buy it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luo Feng was speechless. He repeated the same words to another person. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if it has such an effect or not. If my child wants to drink it, I¡¯ll buy it for him. Go to the back if you don¡¯t want to buy it.¡± The uncle had the same attitude. No one really expected the milk tea to change their fate, but they just wanted to buy a cup for their children. They would even buy a school promotion talisman to ensure their safety from fortune-tellers who set up a stall at the entrance. Perhaps it was because the third year of high school was an important point in their lives. Even more people gathered around to buy the milk tea after Luo Feng¡¯s explanation. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We¡¯re all here to seek psychological comfort. Sell it without worry. I¡¯ll help you call Ai Tingya out.¡± Lei Jin said with relief. Luo Feng didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry, he could only nod. He did not expect himself to come here early in the morning to sell milk tea in his third year of high school. Lei Jin ran back to school while Luo Feng tried his best to squeeze into the production platform. When Xiao Fei saw that it was him, she was so happy that she was about to cry. ¡°You¡¯re finally here to save the day. I don¡¯t know why there were so many people this morning, but the others haven¡¯t come to work yet.¡± Xiao Fei complained as she shook the milk tea she had made evenly, like an emotionless milk tea machine. Luo Feng flipped into the production platform and joined the production team. After a while, Ai Tingya rushed out of the school to help. Coincidentally, the bell rang behind her. Classes began in school, and the students in line had no choice but to go back to class first. The main force left fighting for the milk tea was only the office workers and uncles and aunties. ¡°Why are there so many people so early in the morning? We still have class!¡± Ai Tingya helped in a flurry. She kept wanting to walk into the school, but she was stuck behind the production table. ¡°Lei Jin should have already applied for leave for us, let¡¯s go back to class in the afternoon¡± said Luo Feng. Lu Zhao, who was in a hurry to help, gave up thinking. She boiled the water mechanically, squeezed juice, and poured ice cubes. The back of the operating table was so busy that everyone¡¯s feet did not stay firm on the ground for long. Finally, they sent all the customers off before lunch. Everyone lay on the chairs, feeling like they had just ended an urgent battle. ¡°Our shop¡­ Is really the best milk tea shop I¡¯ve ever seen,¡± Lu Zhao praised weakly. Luo Feng stood in front of the cashier and counted the morning¡¯s turnover. ¡°We made over 10,000 yuan in just one morning!¡± Luo Feng said in surprise. There weren¡¯t many raw materials left in the shop. ¡°Congratulations, Boss. Can I take leave this afternoon?¡± Lu Zhao was exhausted. She had been pulled out of bed early in the morning to work overtime and did not expect to get overtime pay. However, it should not be a problem to rest for half a day in the afternoon. There were not many raw materials left in the shop after all. Luo Feng counted out 1,000 yuan in cash and handed it to Lu Zhao. ¡°This is your overtime pay. You don¡¯t have to come this afternoon.¡± The money in her hand was heavy, and Lu Zhao¡¯s eyes instantly widened. Her monthly salary was only 2,000 yuan, but Luo Feng actually gave her 1,000 yuan?! ¡°Boss is so generous! Boss is so magnanimous! Thank you, Boss!¡± Lu Zhao felt like fireworks were going off in her head. She happily took the money and ran away, afraid that Luo Feng would regret it in the next second. However, she had already decided in her heart that she would continue to follow Luo Feng, this generous boss. Lu Zhao had never been so glad to jump ship. As expected, she had good taste and had a bright future following Luo Feng. Xiao Fei bit her finger enviously. Luo Feng gave her 2,000 yuan without waiting for her to speak. ¡°Thank you for your hard work this morning.¡± ¡°Luo Feng, you are invincible and the best person in this entire universe! Hehehe, Xiao Ya didn¡¯t find the wrong person!¡± She had never gotten so much money in her life. After distributing the hard work fees to the two employees, Luo Feng handed the remaining money to Ai Tingya. ¡°My hard work fees are so high?¡± Ai Tingya felt that she could not collect so much as 7,000 yuan even if she worked hard. ¡°You¡¯re the lady boss, so why would you get the hard work fees? You¡¯ll definitely get all the leftover money in your account. In the future, I¡¯ll have to ask you for instructions about the shop¡¯s expenses. How can you not have some money on hand?¡± Luo Feng said seriously. It meant that the lady boss could do whatever she wanted with the money in the shop. ¡°You¡¯re really¡­ making me not know how to answer¡­¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s smile was red, and her hands were sweating from holding the money. Luo Feng pinched her cheek, ¡°You haven¡¯t adapted to it yet. What¡¯s mine is already yours. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t this milk tea shop have been opened for nothing?¡± Ai Tingya would always be shy no matter when or where he teased her. She was too cute. Ai Tingya held her red face and turned to the side so that Luo Feng wouldn¡¯t see her. She changed the topic and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to class quickly. Teacher Yu must be very anxious to not see us all morning.¡± Ai Tingya was taught by Luo Feng to prioritize her studies the last time they talked about opening a branch. She had always remembered this in her heart. She had to return to the classroom even though she was still panting. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s rest for a while more or talk about opening a branch.¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t want Ai Tingya to be tired, so he found a random reason to let her rest in the shop for two more minutes. Speaking of opening a branch, Ai Tingya became serious and prepared to hear Luo Feng¡¯s opinion. Luo Feng had no choice but to take back his previous words. ¡°I think Lu Zhao is a good employee. In the future, if we open a branch, she can help train new employees and manage the new shop. This way, we can save a lot of trouble, so it¡¯s understandable to give her a higher salary.¡± Indeed, Luo Feng was very satisfied with Lu Zhao among the employees. Ai Tingya nodded in agreement. ¡°You¡¯re so thoughtful. Just do as you think. I support you.¡± She firmly believed that every decision Luo Feng made had a legitimate reason, so she trusted him unconditionally. She had long been prepared to be a good wife and would definitely agree with him after all. The system¡¯s voice sounded in Luo Feng¡¯s mind just as Ai Tingya made up her mind. [Congratulations to the host for successfully investing and obtaining 100% of Ai Tingya¡¯s trust.] Chapter 61 ?61 Carefully Selected Gifts, Good Eyesight! ¡°It¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s go back quickly.¡± Ai Tingya sat for another 20 minutes at Luo Feng¡¯s request. She seemed to have nails under her butt and couldn¡¯t sit still no matter what. She glanced at the school gate from time to time and kept wanting to go back to the classroom as she chatted with Luo Feng. Luo Feng had no choice but to follow her wishes. ¡°It¡¯s almost lunchtime, let¡¯s go back after dinner.¡± Luo Feng got up and grabbed his phone, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll treat you guys to a meal¡± Xiao Fei, who had been squatting in the corner of the console and trying her best to reduce her presence, popped her head out. ¡°Hehe, Luo Feng is so generous. What are you going to treat us to?¡± She quickly tidied up the operating table, put all the cups and spoons back in place, and stood upright, waiting to be fed. Ai Tingya suddenly walked over and grabbed Xiao Fei¡¯s hand. ¡°Luo Feng, go back to school and eat in the cafeteria. I haven¡¯t eaten with Xiao Fei alone in a long time. We¡¯ll go alone today.¡± Luo Feng was a little surprised. Ai Tingya¡¯s request hurt him a little. What secret could it be that he could not listen to? ¡°A-Alright¡± Luo Feng scratched his face awkwardly, ¡°Go back to the classroom early after you¡¯re done eating, then¡­ I¡¯ll head back first.¡± He felt strange. He took two steps forward and turned around to take another look. After confirming that Ai Tingya had no intention of asking him to stay, he walked towards the school gate with doubts. After he left, Xiao Fei gently shook Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you two? Are you hiding something from Luo Feng?¡± So that was why. Xiao Fei heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I love shopping.¡± The two of them closed the shop and hung up the sign that they were resting in the afternoon. They walked hand in hand towards the commercial street. However, Ai Tingya did not find any satisfactory gifts after shopping for half an hour. Clothes, wallet, belt¡­ These gifts were slightly tacky and casual. Ai Tingya wanted to buy something that Luo Feng could always use. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you buy him a watch so that he can wear it all the time?¡± Xiao Fei suggested it seriously. ¡°That way, he can think of you when he sees the watch.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t joke around,¡± Ai Tingya said shyly, her eyes secretly glancing at the watch shop. What Xiao Fei said made sense, but it was still a little different from Ai Tingya¡¯s expectations. The two of them continued walking. A bright little shop caught Ai Tingya¡¯s attention. Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the mobile phone counter. ¡­ In Class One¡¯s classroom. Luo Feng sat alone in his seat, supporting his face with his hands as he stared blankly at Ai Tingya¡¯s actions. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was as if a bee was crawling in his heart, and his throat felt slightly numb. His mind kept replaying the scene in the morning, wondering what had made Ai Tingya angry. ¡°Is it because I gave you too much money?¡± Luo Feng muttered, feeling uncomfortable. Why would Ai Tingya refuse to eat with him? What is she going to talk to Xiao Fei about? Luo Feng patted his face and reflected on whether he was being too pretentious. He should immediately stop making meaningless guesses. He should focus on learning! ¡°Yo, Luo Feng, why are you sitting here alone? Where¡¯s your wife?¡± Lei Jin sneakily squeezed next to Luo Feng, ¡°Business was good this morning, what should you thank me with?¡± It was fine if he didn¡¯t mention this, but once he did, Luo Feng got angry. ¡°You almost tired us to death, don¡¯t spout nonsense next time.¡± Luo Feng warned. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t mind me. I¡¯ll definitely be careful with my words and actions!¡± Lei Jin changed the topic. ¡°Why did you come back alone? Where¡¯s Ai Tingya?¡± ¡°Who knows, she went out to play with her little sister, and talk about stuff, the kind that I¡¯m not allowed to listen to.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s voice was filled with sadness. This was the first time Ai Tingya had shaken him off. Lei Jin pouted in disdain seeing his coy expression. ¡°She¡¯s just going out to play with someone. Look at you, you¡¯re like a little widow guarding an empty room. Those who don¡¯t know might think that you¡¯ve been dumped by Ai Tingya.¡± His voice was not loud, but it was very clear. The other male students in the classroom were like sharks that had smelled blood. They swung their tails and swam over, instantly surrounding Luo Feng. ¡°Luo Feng, are you going to break up with Ai Tingya?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you guys? You took the morning off. Did you fight?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t make Ai Tingya sad. If you have any difficulties, tell us. We¡¯ll definitely help!¡± The students had all kinds of guesses in their hearts, and they were all worried that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had a conflict. Luo Feng was surrounded in the middle and did not know how to answer. At this moment, a gentle voice interrupted everyone¡¯s burning gossip. ¡°No, we¡¯re very close.¡± Ai Tingya stood at the door of the classroom with a white bag in her hand. The boys in the circle automatically made way to avoid blocking Luo Feng¡¯s vision. Luo Feng stood up with mixed feelings: ¡°You¡¯re back, where have you been for so long?¡± He did not know how long Ai Tingya had been standing at the door listening. Would she misunderstand that he was badmouthing her while she was not around? He did not want there to be a misunderstanding. Ai Tingya handed the bag to him with both hands. ¡°I bought you a gift. Open it and take a look.¡± There was a square box in the paper bag. A logo of an apple with a bite lay quietly in the bag. Luo Feng¡¯s heart raced. Luo Feng took out the box under the curious and envious gazes of his classmates. He opened it and saw a silver-white Fruit phone! ¡°This¡­¡± This thing should be very expensive! Luo Feng was so shocked that he was speechless. In this era where smartphones were not common, very few people knew the name of the Fruit phone. Ai Tingya actually bought him the latest model! Ai Tingya smiled and said, ¡°I saw that you were always looking at your phone and felt that this suited you, so I bought it. Do you like it?¡± ¡°I like it!¡± Luo Feng held it lovingly, ¡°I¡¯ll bring it with me wherever I go in the future, I won¡¯t change it for the rest of my life!¡± It might really last forever with the stable system of the early Apple. The other students were so envious that their saliva almost fell to the ground. In this era where the streets were filled with phone booths, having a portable phone was similar to riding a luxury car to school. They would be the center of attention no matter where they went. It seemed that opening a milk tea shop was really profitable! Ai Tingya from the orphanage had become a rich woman. ¡°Luo Feng, can I touch it? I¡¯m already tired of touching my brick machine.¡± ¡°Damn it, I¡¯m so envious! Why don¡¯t I have a girlfriend!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the legendary Fruit phone! I¡¯ll help you clean up. Luo Feng, let me take a look.¡± Luo Feng hadn¡¯t touched it enough himself. He put it into his pocket lovingly and said, ¡°Tingya bought this for me. Only I can touch it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so petty.¡± Ai Tingya blushed. ¡°They just want to take a look.¡± Chapter 62 ?62 It Is The Last Night, What Are Your Dreams? After a short commotion, the students returned to their seats and continued to study. Third High School was already at the final sprint stage. Everyone wished they could have 25 hours a day and could memorize more books. The atmosphere in the class was oppressive and tense, like a taut bowstring that could break at any time. It was time for evening self-study again. Everyone¡¯s ears pricked up when they knew that Luo Feng was about to start his lecture. They hated that they were not a recorder at this moment and could not record every word of Luo Feng¡¯s. However, humans were not machines after all. Sometimes, more haste less speed meant that the more one wanted to achieve the perfect effect, the harder it was to remember. The more one wanted to calm down and memorize books, the more lyrics they would remember. The students were tired and anxious, looking really pitiful. Ring¡ª The evening self-study bell rang. Teacher Yu walked to the back row and Luo Feng walked to the podium. The two of them tacitly changed seats and prepared to start today¡¯s lecture. Luo Feng looked at the students below. The dark circles under their eyes were getting worse. If they couldn¡¯t listen to the lecture now, it would make them even more nervous. He said softly, ¡°There¡¯s no lecture tonight. Let¡¯s talk about something light.¡± ¡°What?¡± The students looked up in confusion, including Teacher Yu, who was sitting at the back. She had never heard of Luo Feng having other plans tonight. Luo Feng explained, ¡°The closer the exam is, the more you need to relax. Your mentality is also very important, so I won¡¯t be teaching tonight. Let¡¯s talk¡­ Hmm¡­ Dreams. Or what do you want to do after the exam?¡± Hearing this, the students looked at each other. Clearly, they had not entered the mood yet and were wondering if they should follow Luo Feng¡¯s thoughts. Luo Feng called out bluntly, ¡°Teacher Yu, lead everyone first.¡± Teacher Yu felt that it was strange and even a little familiar. It turned out that she would be called up by her students to answer questions one day. However, she also agreed with Luo Feng¡¯s approach, so she was very cooperative. ¡°After your exam, the thing that I want most is to be evaluated as an ¡®outstanding teacher¡¯. I feel that with your current results, it won¡¯t be difficult for me to be evaluated as an outstanding teacher.¡± Teacher Yu didn¡¯t treat everyone as outsiders at all. In the end, she added, ¡°Of course, don¡¯t feel pressured. Just tackle it with your usual attitude. I believe your efforts will definitely be rewarded.¡± ¡°Teacher Yu, you¡¯re floating again as you speak. Tell me about your dream,¡± a usually mischievous boy jeered. The other students also echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right, Teacher Yu. Tell us about it.¡± Teacher Yu was helpless against the students. ¡°My dream¡­ Is to be a good teacher.¡± ¡°Tsk¡ª¡± The students chuckled and dragged out their words, clearly dissatisfied with this formulaic answer. Teacher Yu said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m serious. Of course, my so-called good teacher is the kind of good teacher in your hearts. He can¡¯t be graded and has no standards, so I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m considered your good teacher.¡± The classroom fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Teacher Yu. A moment later, enthusiastic replies sounded in the classroom. ¡°Of course not. Teacher Yu, we¡¯ve all seen your efforts.¡± ¡°Even though you¡¯re usually fierce, you¡¯re indeed a good teacher in charge.¡± ¡°Old Yu, you¡¯re the best teacher I¡¯ve ever met.¡± ¡°Alright, alright! Lower your voice!¡± Teacher Yu was both happy and nervous. If she made too much noise and the other classes complained, the director would ask her for tea again. At the same time, she was very happy that she had obtained the students¡¯ recognition! ¡°You only know how to frame me. Tell me about yourselves,¡± Teacher Yu said to maintain order. With her taking the lead, the students immediately let go of themselves. ¡°My dream is to be a teacher. I hope I can get into a teacher training university.¡± ¡°I want to be a singer. After the exam, I am going to work part-time at a live bar. Remember to come and support me.¡± ¡°I f*cking want sincere love too!¡± The students were actively discussing their dreams, but they were led astray by ¡°sincere love.¡± All their dreams and future were thrown aside. Their faces were filled with ¡°looking forward to gossip¡± as they looked eagerly at Luo Feng on the stage. After all, how could they bypass the only young couple in class when it came to love? ¡°Teacher Luo, what¡¯s your dream?¡± Lei Jin took the lead in jeering. ¡°Ai Tingya!¡± ¡°Ai Tingya!¡± ¡°Ai Tingya!¡± The students shouted and cheered, asking Ai Tingya to stand up and say a few words no matter what. After three years of interaction and Luo Feng¡¯s modifications, Ai Tingya was no longer the unknown bookworm from before. She stood up generously. Facing the class, she said, ¡°My dream is a little tacky. I want to be a money-making businessman and repay the orphanage that raised me.¡± It was simple and grounded, down to earth. Because Ai Tingya and Luo Feng had opened a milk tea shop, everyone had almost forgotten Ai Tingya¡¯s background. Now that she was mentioned again, it felt like a lifetime had passed. Many things had really happened in just two years. Luo Feng replied appropriately, ¡°Ai Tingya is right. My dream is to realize Ai Tingya¡¯s dream.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s face instantly turned red, and even her ears turned red. Her eyes were hot, and her bright eyes were like clear springs as she looked at Luo Feng lovingly. ¡°Puff!¡± They were caught off guard by another mouthful of dog food. The students originally thought that they had long mastered the ¡°Indestructible Diamond¡±. No matter what tricks the young couple had, they would not be affected. Who knew that Feng Li could also stuff dog food into his mouth? He had to eat it. At the same time, everyone was touched. ¡°Luo Feng, you¡¯re such a happy guy. I¡¯m so envious!¡± ¡°I also want a good girl to help her realize her dream. Ai Tingya, do you still have any sisters?¡± ¡°You must treat Ai Tingya well. Don¡¯t bully her, or don¡¯t blame me for snatching her away.¡± ¡°I got a star student candy. It¡¯s so sweet. I have no regrets in my life!¡± The classroom was in chaos again. Teacher Yu was so busy being gratified that she forgot to stop it. Luo Feng raised his index finger to his mouth and looked at the back door. The students also looked over¡ª The Dean had a serious poker face. He pursed his lips and warned everyone not to make a fuss. Then, he snorted and waded around with his big belly to another place. The students covered their mouths and snickered, feeling that that had been a little exciting. Luo Feng¡¯s tone changed. ¡°Therefore, we have to continue learning for our dreams.¡± ¡°Tonight is the last night of my lecture. After that, I need everyone to revise freely according to their own situation. Let¡¯s work hard together.¡± Chapter 63 ?63 The College Entrance Examination Begins, Ai Tingya Comes to Stay Over The intense revision period finally ended and the college entrance examination soon arrived. Previously, Ai Tingya had also stayed for a few days in order to make it easier for her to revise. However, because she was too embarrassed to disturb him for too long, Luo Feng would send her home on his bicycle every night after she finished revising. As the orphanage was in the suburbs, it was very far from the city. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Ai Tingya moved into Luo Feng¡¯s house. According to the old rules, Luo Feng¡¯s room was given to Ai Tingya while he slept on the temporary bed on the balcony. The family of four sat at the dining table during dinner time. Mother Luo did not stop giving Ai Tingya food. ¡°Tingya, the bed sheets and bedding in the room have just been changed. Auntie has sunned it for two days and is very soft when you sleep. Don¡¯t worry and stay here. Maintain your mentality and take the exams well! Eat more to nourish yourself.¡± Luo Feng felt that perhaps in Mother Luo¡¯s eyes, Ai Tingya needed to nourish her body at any time. She did not think that Ai Tingya had ever gained weight. In the blink of an eye, half a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs was in Ai Tingya¡¯s bowl. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t make Tingya so full.¡± Luo Feng couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and wanted to fight for some pork ribs for himself. Mother Luo glared at her biological son and turned to complain to Ai Tingya. ¡°Tingya, look at this disappointing kid in my family. It¡¯s precisely because of his unfair mentality that you¡¯re so thin! If he bullies you, just tell me and I¡¯ll teach him a lesson!¡± Ai Tingya covered her mouth and could not stop laughing. She could not help Luo Feng explain. Luo Feng¡¯s eyes widened. He could not believe that this was what his biological mother had said. Does he look that greedy? ¡°Aiya.¡± Father Luo sighed and helped his son smooth things over. ¡°Xiao Ai is not a child. Let her eat by herself. If you keep putting food in her bowl, she won¡¯t be able to eat what she likes.¡± Mother Luo snorted and picked up another set of food before giving up seeing that her husband was not on her side. ¡°Auntie won¡¯t pick the food for you anymore, Tingya. Eat it yourself.¡± ¡°Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Uncle.¡± Ai Tingya picked up her chopsticks and obediently buried her head in her food. Luo Feng sighed, feeling that he was losing his status at home. After dinner, Mother Luo went to wash the dishes while Father Luo sat in the living room watching television. Ai Tingya returned to the room to study. Luo Feng lay on the small bed on the balcony with his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze. He glanced at his parents from time to time. Why weren¡¯t they back in their room to sleep? He couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He walked to the door of his room and grabbed the handle. Father Luo¡¯s voice came from behind. ¡°Don¡¯t disturb Xiao Ai. You have to revise again. You can¡¯t be proud of the college entrance examination, understand?¡± Luo Feng turned around and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go in to take something.¡± At this moment, Mother Luo walked out of the kitchen. ¡°I¡¯ve placed all the things you usually need on the balcony. Go over there and look for them.¡± Luo Feng had really lost to his parents. So they were not giving him a chance to enter the room to see Ai Tingya? ¡°Got it!¡± Luo Feng replied angrily and lay back on the small bed on the balcony. Father Luo finally turned off the television and returned to the bedroom with a yawn at nine o¡¯clock. After a while, Mother Luo also entered. The door to his parents¡¯ bedroom closed. Luo Feng, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes, lifted the blanket, got up, and tiptoed to the door. He realized that the door was ajar. Luo Feng was overjoyed. Ai Tingya had left the door open for him! He couldn¡¯t wait to push open the door and saw Ai Tingya sitting on the bed with a small blanket on her lap. She was reading a document. ¡°What do you want to take?¡± Ai Tingya looked up, her big sparkling eyes brighter than the stars in the sky. Luo Feng hugged her and rolled onto the bed, scaring Ai Tingya so much that she almost cried out. ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave the door open for me to enter?¡± Luo Feng asked even though he knew the answer. ¡°Stop fooling around.¡± Ai Tingya twisted twice but could not break free. ¡°Close the door first!¡± Luo Feng obediently closed the door gently and lay beside Ai Tingya, admiring her side profile with a blissful expression. Ai Tingya pushed Luo Feng with both hands. ¡°You should go out. I can¡¯t calm down here.¡± She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back and develop further with Luo Feng. She might really give everything to Luo Feng if not for the college entrance examination. Luo Feng grabbed her hand and placed it on his face. He smelled the fragrance of the shower gel on Ai Tingya¡¯s body. ¡°I won¡¯t do anything. I just want to lie beside you. Tell me honestly, have you been waiting for me? Otherwise, why would you leave the door open for me?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s waiting for you?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes drifted to the side. ¡°I just heard that you want to take something.¡± Luo Feng pulled her into his arms. ¡°We¡¯re already in this relationship. Why are you still shy? It¡¯s not like you¡¯ve never stayed at my house.¡± Ai Tingya buried her head in Luo Feng¡¯s chest and said in a muffled voice, ¡°I don¡¯t want Uncle and Auntie to think I¡¯m indecent.¡± Luo Feng chuckled and said, ¡°My mother won¡¯t think that way. In her heart, you¡¯re already my wife!¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do either!¡± Ai Tingya said stubbornly. ¡°I don¡¯t want to leave a bad impression.¡± She thought about it and still felt embarrassed. She pushed Luo Feng away and said, ¡°You should go out.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll sleep here tonight!¡± Luo Feng tightened his grip, and the two of them fooled around. Little did he know that Father and Mother Luo could accurately grasp the situation outside in the bedroom beside him. ¡°Did the brat slip in?¡± Father Luo asked. ¡°The door rang just now. He must have gone in.¡± Mother Luo poured moisturizer on her hands and patted them on her face bit by bit. She sighed and said, ¡°The couple really can¡¯t be separated for a moment.¡± Father Luo said worriedly, ¡°Young people don¡¯t know how to control themselves. I hope they won¡¯t delay tomorrow¡¯s exam.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not Tingya¡¯s first time staying at home. Little Feng knows what to do.¡± Mother Luo was not prepared to bother the two of them. Perhaps they would be able to perform better tomorrow after venting the pressure tonight. She pretended not to hear the sound of the door opening and closing. This was called maternal love! ¡°Sleep early. Wake up early tomorrow morning to prepare breakfast.¡± Mother Luo urged and turned off the lights to sleep. ¡­ The next morning, Luo Feng was in a daze when he heard a lion roar outside. ¡°Get up! Get up and eat breakfast!¡± Luo Feng sat up in shock and felt that there was nothing beside him. Ai Tingya had disappeared at some point. He put on his clothes and walked out of the room. He happened to bump into Mother Luo coming out of the kitchen with a cup of warm milk in her hand. Mother Luo was not surprised that Luo Feng had slept in the room last night. ¡°Come and eat. Tingya finished eating early and is already packing up.¡± Luo Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat on the table. He saw the table full of buns, pancakes, eggs, milk¡­ She must have bought every variety in the breakfast shop. When had he ever eaten such a sumptuous breakfast at home? ¡°Mom, is it the new year?¡± Luo Feng smiled and picked up the milk. Indeed, this was the top-level treatment that college entrance examination students should be receiving! Chapter 64 ?64 Writing So Fast That It Was Scary, The Terrifying Luo Feng Luo Feng felt that his stomach was too small as he guarded the sumptuous breakfast table. ¡°Mom, you¡¯re the best. I feel like I¡¯m filled with strength. I¡¯ll definitely get the best results today!¡± Luo Feng was grateful for this treatment. After all, it was unknown if there would be a next time. ¡°Just don¡¯t make me angry. It would be better than anything. When will you be as sensible as Tingya? It¡¯s such an important day and you still need your mother to call you up. Tingya woke up early and is already prepared to set off!¡± In the living room, Ai Tingya, who was sitting upright, looked over curiously. Luo Feng finally understood that this top-notch treatment was all prepared for Ai Tingya. He was just by the way. He could not help but ask himself if he was a spare. ¡­ The college entrance examination was taken by all third year students in the city at the same time, so the students of the same school would be separated and assigned to different schools¡¯ examination halls. Coincidentally, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were assigned to two different high schools. Ai Tingya was taking the exam in her school while Luo Feng went to another school that was relatively far away, so the two of them had to get up early to prepare. Mr. Luo had a driver¡¯s license and borrowed a small car from his colleague in advance to pick them up. Luo Feng opened the trunk and loaded his bicycle in just as he was about to leave. Father Luo was puzzled. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up after the exam. Why did you bring your bicycle?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°No need. I¡¯ll pick Tingya up after the exam. Just help my mother prepare food at home.¡± Father Luo looked at his son strangely. Their school was a little far away. It would take 20 minutes to arrive by bicycle. Ai Tingya would have to wait at the gate if Luo Feng went to pick her up. Wouldn¡¯t that delay things? ¡°Alright.¡± Luo Feng closed the trunk and said, ¡°I have my own arrangements. Don¡¯t worry.¡± The three of them got into the car. Mr. Luo sent Ai Tingya to the examination hall first while Luo Feng pushed the bicycle down and placed it in the guardhouse at the school gate. He was too famous in his school, and almost everyone knew him, so the guard readily agreed to help him look after the bicycle. ¡°Tingya, I¡¯ll be the first to rush out of the examination hall to see you after I finish the paper. Run over and let¡¯s go home together.¡± Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya and sent her into the school. Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng reluctantly and pouted. ¡°If only we were in the same examination hall. I really don¡¯t want to be separated from you.¡± She rarely revealed her weak side. Today was the college entrance examination, the most important day for a student. Even someone as strong as Ai Tingya could not help but be nervous and afraid. Luo Feng thought to himself, You didn¡¯t have this attitude last night. You even wanted to chase me out of the room. He stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s head and said, ¡°Do you still remember our previous agreement? If I become the top scorer, you¡¯ll be my girlfriend, even though we¡¯ve been together for a long time.¡± Their intimate actions attracted the attention of the other examinees. The students from their school had experienced the grand scene of the two of them confessing to each other in the entire school, so they were not very surprised. When the examinees from the other schools heard the content of their agreement, they all revealed shocked expressions. Wasn¡¯t this bragging too much?! Ai Tingya was thin-skinned. She took a small step back shyly sensing that someone was looking at her. ¡°Then you have to do your best. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± After giving her a few instructions, Luo Feng watched Ai Tingya walk into the examination hall. Then he returned to the car and Father Luo sent him to another remote high school examination hall. ¡­ The exam began. On the first morning, they only took the language test. That was because the examination hall had a rule that they were only allowed to hand in their papers half an hour before the exam ended. Luo Feng could not hand in his papers immediately after he finished them. He could only think of ways to stall for time so that he would not finish his papers and wait in boredom. He picked up the paper and skimmed through it. It was not difficult. After the bell rang, he wrote without stopping! The invigilator was not from their school and did not know Luo Feng. However, he could not help but look sideways twice when he saw this student¡¯s posture when he was doing the questions. After teaching for so many years, this was the first time the invigilator had seen someone do the papers so quickly. He was so confident! The college entrance examination papers were a total of eight pages and took 150 minutes. Luo Feng wrote very quickly. He finished four pages in half an hour and flipped to the second page of the paper. It was so fast that not only did the invigilator look sideways, but the other candidates also looked up at him. There were also students from the same school in the same examination room as Luo Feng. They all knew Luo Feng. Originally, they were surprised to hear someone flipping through the papers. Things seemed to make sense again when they saw that it was Luo Feng. However, the boy sitting beside Luo Feng was from another school. He had never seen Luo Feng before and only felt that sitting beside him was very stressful. This was because Luo Feng had written too quickly! He sat at the side and could see very clearly from the corner of his eye that Luo Feng was writing questions faster than him copying books. It was as if he did not even need to think before he solved them in a few moves. The boy was under a lot of pressure, as if there were two big rocks on his shoulders. One had to know that he was considered a top figure in their school. His classmates envied him and the teachers liked him. He felt that he had prepared well. However, the students in the same examination room were actually so much faster than him. This made him doubt his life. Am I a frog at the bottom of a well? Was my previous brilliant results an illusion? The boy did not want to pay attention to Luo Feng. He tried his best to control his Crowd Control¡¯s attention and focus on the test paper. However, when Luo Feng finished his essay and began to check the test paper, the boy¡¯s heart began to panic. Luo Feng spun the pen in his right hand leisurely, making him look over constantly. Luo Feng flipped the paper over and over again three times. The sound of flipping the paper was especially crisp in the examination room, making all the candidates very nervous. The exam had only started for an hour. How could anyone have already completed it! Luo Feng felt that he was about to memorize the contents of the test paper. What made it worse was that he had already checked it three times. It was extremely boring, so he simply lay on the table and began to sleep. When the boy beside him saw this scene, he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He could not help but wonder if his ability was too poor. Otherwise, why was he still reading the reading questions? Had he been blindly confident in the past? Were there so many hidden dragons and phoenixes in this college entrance examination? Luo Feng did not know that his lazy behavior made the students beside him doubt their lives. He lay on the table and could not sleep either. He closed his eyes for a while before opening them again to look at the clock on the wall. ¡°Candidates, please take note that there are only 30 minutes left until the end of the exam. Please take note of the time!¡± A notification sounded from the broadcast. Luo Feng had finally waited for this moment! He stood up and folded the test papers, answer sheets, and draft paper before placing them on the podium. Then, he ran out of the examination hall excitedly. He was so fast that the invigilator did not even have time to remind him. ¡°Tingya, I¡¯m here to pick you up!¡± Luo Feng ran out of the school excitedly. There were already parents waiting to pick their kids up at the door. On the way, Luo Feng listened to rows of private cars. He walked down the street and looked back for a taxi as he walked. Chapter 65 ?65 The Top Scorer of the College Entrance Examination Has Been Determined The examination hall where Luo Feng was was relatively remote. Coupled with the fact that there was a private car by the roadside to pick him up, he walked for 10 minutes before reaching the main street. He waved his hand and hailed a taxi. When the driver heard that it was the college entrance examination hall, he turned around and looked at Luo Feng¡¯s outfit. Wasn¡¯t this a student? The driver said in surprise, ¡°Student, it¡¯s too late for you to go to the examination hall now. The examination has already started for a while!¡± Luo Feng asked curiously, ¡°I just finished the exam.¡± The driver laughed awkwardly. ¡°You scared me to death. I thought you were late. You came out so quickly. Student, you probably did very well.¡± Driving a taxi was a very boring job, so most drivers were very talkative. They could chat all the way with any passenger they met. ¡°It¡¯s alright. The questions this year are relatively easy,¡± Luo Feng said casually. The driver raised his voice happily. ¡°Really? My son is also taking the college entrance examination today. He¡¯s in the examination hall you¡¯re going to. I¡¯ll pick him up.¡± A few minutes later, the taxi stopped at the school entrance. The driver did not ask for the fare and said that he was picking up the child and sending Luo Feng over. At this moment, there were already many parents gathering at the school gate to pick up their children. A female reporter holding a microphone from Crown City TV Station stood at the front. Beside her was a cameraman carrying a camera. The female reporter¡¯s name was Liang Huan, and she was the ace reporter of Crown City TV Station. She had heard that there was a genius who scored full marks in all subjects in this school, but she could not figure out which examination hall he was in, so she came here to squat and see if she could try her luck. Even if they couldn¡¯t meet, he could still get the headlines by interviewing the college entrance examination students. ¡°Why isn¡¯t he out yet?¡± Liang Huan craned his neck to look. Some candidates had already submitted their papers at this time in the past. But this year, they did not even see a shadow. Liang Huan kept holding the microphone. It was so sore that she shook it with another hand. The cameraman beside her found it even harder. He looked at the machine for a long time and did not dare to put it down. It was too difficult to do useless work. Liang Huan looked around, wanting to interview the parents. Luo Feng, who was in the crowd, attracted her attention. Luo Feng was good-looking to begin with, the kind that would immediately attract her attention. Liang Huan liked his looks very much. He walked to Luo Feng and extended the microphone. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m a reporter from Crown City TV Station. Are you here to pick up the candidates?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°You don¡¯t look too old. Are you the candidate¡¯s elder brother or younger brother?¡± Liang Huan continued to ask. Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯m her boyfriend.¡± In any case, he would be soon. Liang Huan was slightly disappointed. Such a good-looking boy actually had a partner. ¡°What kind of good results do you expect your girlfriend to get?¡± ¡°Just perform normally. A standard worthy of Harvard or Stanford will do,¡± Luo Feng said. He remembered that in his previous life, Ai Tingya had been admitted to Havard. After his teachings in the current world, these two schools would be within grasp. ¡°Har¡­¡± Liang Huan, who relied on eloquence to make a living, did not know how to answer. ¡°Young people nowadays are more ambitious than the sky. Can you get into Harvard so easily? Every year, less than 10 people in the entire city¡¯s high schools get into Harvard. How can she just ¡°perform normally¡±? Wouldn¡¯t she go up to heaven if she performed extraordinarily?¡± She thought to herself. ¡°Haha, your girlfriend will definitely be this year¡¯s top scorer if she can get into Harvard,¡± Liang Huan said politely. She wanted to quickly end the interview and find a reliable person. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°She can¡¯t be this year¡¯s top scorer.¡± ??? Liang Huan felt very confused. Was he confident or not? Luo Feng explained, ¡°I¡¯m not doubting my girlfriend¡¯s strength. It is because I promised her that I will be the top scholar.¡± Liang Huan said in surprise, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the candidate¡¯s family?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°Is it strange that I came to pick up my girlfriend after I finished my paper?¡± Liang Huan was stuck and did not know what to say. So you praised your girlfriend for so long just to praise yourself! Why are the children nowadays so scheming? Vice Principal Liu walked out of the school with a smile just as she was rolling her eyes in her heart and ignoring Luo Feng. He walked in front of the crowd and said, ¡°Parents, the children will be out soon. Please stand on both sides and don¡¯t delay the children¡¯s lunch. Thank you for your cooperation.¡± The parents listened to him and moved to the sides in an orderly manner. Vice Principal Liu often spoke on behalf of the school of course, Liang Huan knew him. He rushed forward and said, ¡°Vice Principal Liu, do you have time to accept our interview?¡± Vice Principal Liu¡¯s already radiant smile became even more energetic, when he saw the platform logo, his and his entire body seemed to be glowing. He had always remembered the situation he had learned from Teacher Yu¡ª Luo Feng¡¯s results were very stable! ¡°Go ahead,¡± Vice Principal Liu said politely. Liang Huan finally found a reliable interview subject. She cleared her throat and was about to speak when Vice Principal Liu suddenly walked away. She was a little surprised. Her eyes followed Vice Principal Liu¡¯s back and saw him walk to the boy she had just interviewed. When Vice Principal Liu saw Luo Feng at the door, he was abnormally excited. ¡°Luo Feng, why are you here? Aren¡¯t you in another examination hall?¡± Luo Feng said honestly, ¡°I came over after handing in my paper to answer Ya.¡± Vice Principal Liu¡¯s heart pounded when he saw that his mind was filled with love. He whispered, ¡°Did you check carefully?¡± ¡°Three times.¡± ¡°Have you written down your name and test number?¡± ¡°I did.¡± ¡°Do you think the questions are difficult?¡± ¡°It¡¯s simple.¡± Vice Principal Liu asked them one by one before he felt relieved. ¡°Alright! Alright! I wish you good results in advance!¡± Liang Huan walked to the side and realized that Vice Principal Liu was looking at Luo Feng as if he was looking at a prize. Could it be that this student was not bragging? She muttered in her heart. She smiled and interrupted, ¡°Vice Principal Liu, is this your student?¡± This shout attracted the attention of the parents who were waiting for the students! The driver standing at the side was dumbfounded. He actually believed him when he said that the questions were not difficult. Of course, the top student in the cohort said that it was not difficult! Liang Huan was so shocked that she could not reply. If this student in front of her was the number one, wouldn¡¯t he be the genius who scored full marks in the mock exam? No wonder he was so confident that he would become the top scholar of the college entrance examination. He wasn¡¯t bragging! She was too narrow-minded. Liang Huan felt that she was too lucky. A random student she caught would be the future top scorer of the college entrance examination. She hurriedly handed over the microphone, wanting to capture a few more scenes. Ring¡ª The school bell rang. The exam was over. ¡°Vice Principal Liu, I¡¯m going to fetch Tingya. Bye.¡± Luo Feng greeted and walked straight to the guard room. He did not give Liang Huan any time to speak. Chapter 66 ?66 Why Is It You Two Again? Liang Huan¡¯s eyes seemed to be glued on Luo Feng. She watched as Luo Feng pushed out a bicycle from the guardhouse. Then, a girl walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side. Liang Huan did not care about the girl¡¯s appearance since the genius who scored full marks in all subjects was right in front of him. She watched as the two of them got on the bicycle and zoomed past her like the wind. Liang Huan chased after them for two steps and realized that she could not catch up. She felt so regretful that she wanted to cry. Why couldn¡¯t she seize the opportunity?! That was so rare! The cameraman who followed did not forget to add fuel to the fire. ¡°The station called just now and said that the interview was especially good. They asked you to capture more footage. Ah¡­ It seems impossible now¡­¡± There was only one genius in the entire city who scored full marks in all subjects! Liang Huan was so regretful that she felt like a cat was scratching her heart. Why would she interview the principal for no reason! Wouldn¡¯t it be fine if she just caught that student to interview? The driver who sent Luo Feng here pulled his son into the car while she was feeling regretful. ¡°Sit on the left.¡± The driver looked at the rearview mirror and commanded his son. His son was dumbfounded. He so used to sitting in the car, why was his father so particular today? ¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong?¡± The driver said proudly, ¡°I just pulled in a genius who scored full marks in all subjects. Take the seat he used to sit in so that you can ride on his good luck and strive to score better!¡± His son was speechless and silently moved his butt. ¡­ The two-day college entrance examination quickly ended. On the last day, Luo Feng was not in time to pick Ai Tingya up because there were too many parents picking up the students on the last day. He was stuck on the road. Ai Tingya did not see Luo Feng when she reached the gate. She could only hold her pencil case and stand by the roadside to wait. A beautiful girl who was alone was very eye-catching. The parents and students passing by could not help but take a few more glances. They were also guessing who could bear to let the beautiful girl who had just finished her exam wait alone. The parents passing were not the only ones who noticed Ai Tingya, Liang Huan was also waiting at the gate. Ever since she missed Luo Feng, she seemed to have stood rooted at the gate. Unfortunately, she had not seen Luo Feng in the first two exams. It was the last day of today, so there was probably not much hope. Liang Huan found it boring after interviewing a few parents. There was none as explosive as the interview on the first day! Coincidentally, she saw Ai Tingya waiting at the door. As a reporter who had interviewed all kinds of famous people, Ai Tingya had a face that she admired. If he couldn¡¯t interview a star student, he could interview a beauty! Liang Huan walked over and said, ¡°Hello, student. I¡¯m Liang Huan, a reporter from Crown City TV Station. Can I interview you for a few questions?¡± Ai Tingya glanced at the camera aimed at her and said generously, ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± Liang Huan subconsciously softened her voice, seeing that she was beautiful and polite. ¡°You must have a lot to say after the tense college entrance examination. Do you mind sharing it with everyone in front of the camera?¡± Ai Tingya had a strong camera sense. She smiled and said, ¡°Of course. I unknowingly ended three years of intense learning in high school. There were many people who helped me along the way. I¡¯m very grateful to them and hope that I can share my joy with them when the results come out.¡± It was very official and appropriate. Liang Huan would have thought that Ai Tingya had prepared the script in advance if she wasn¡¯t the one who picked her randomly. However, the answer was too boring. Liang Huan wanted to end the interview after asking two more questions. Ai Tingya changed the topic and said, ¡°But right now, the person I want to see the most is still that person.¡± The description was rather ambiguous, and the reporter¡¯s souls burned with questions. Liang Huan smiled and said, ¡°Is the person you¡¯re referring to your boyfriend?¡± Ai Tingya blushed and said, ¡°He¡¯s not my boyfriend yet¡­¡± Wait¡­ Liang Huan suddenly felt that this answer was a little familiar. They were clearly in love, but they had yet to be confirmed together. Why was it similar to the boy from before? Ai Tingya was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. She mustered her courage and said, ¡°I want to tell him that it doesn¡¯t matter even if he can¡¯t become the top scorer of the college entrance examination. I¡¯ll be with him no matter where he goes! I hope he won¡¯t feel pressured.¡± Why was this about the top scorer of the college entrance examination again? Liang Huan felt that she had really poked the nest of the college entrance examination top scholar. The cameraman nudged Liang Huan with his elbow, indicating for her to continue asking. This was good content that could increase the ratings! Liang Huan raised the microphone and said, ¡°May I ask what kind of results you expect?¡± Ai Tingya smiled and said, ¡°I hope I can get into the same university as that person.¡± ¡°Such as?¡± ¡°Harvard and Stanford. We have the best feelings for these two universities.¡± ??? Liang Huan was sure that she had heard this line before. Liang Huan thought that she was a veteran reporter and had received professional training. No matter how shocked she was, she would not show it unless she could not help it¡­ Could the explosive content of the interviews in the past two days have come from the same family? Liang Huan looked around and saw a familiar-looking boy. She pointed in the boy¡¯s direction and said, ¡°Uh¡­ Is he your boyfriend?¡± Ai Tingya looked up and saw Luo Feng pushing through the crowd and running towards her. She threw herself into Luo Feng¡¯s arms and smiled happily. Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s head dotingly. He looked up and realized that it was the reporter who interviewed him yesterday. ¡°Hello, the reporter from Crown City TV Station.¡± Liang Huan roared in her heart. ¡°It¡¯s really you!¡± She did not know what expression to make. It would be a happy thing to be able to interview a genius with full marks and his partner, but the price was that she had to accept a love Critical Hit. The sacrifice was a little big. ¡°What a coincidence, hahaha.¡± The corners of Liang Huan¡¯s mouth twitched. She really couldn¡¯t laugh anymore and could only signal the cameraman to take the scene carefully. A face-to-face interview! He had to record the happiness of this star student couple. She could not be the only one injured! Ai Tingya thought of going on television and let go of Luo Feng shyly realizing that the camera was close. ¡°Reporter, we¡¯re going back to eat. Goodbye.¡± The generous and proper girl suddenly became a little bird. Was this the magic of love? In the past, Liang Huan was focused on her work and was insulated from love wherever she went. She suddenly wanted to taste the sweetness of love now that she saw their happy faces. ¡°Goodbye. I wish you all good results.¡± Liang Huan waved her hand and watched the two of them disappear into the crowd hand in hand. At this moment, the cameraman put down his phone and said, ¡°The station just called and said that your interview was very good. The ratings have increased again.¡± What interview? Liang Huan wanted love. ¡°Whatever.¡± She had a light-hearted appreciation for work results now. ¡°The interview is over. Let¡¯s get off work.¡± ¡­ Today, Luo Feng did not push his bicycle. The two of them held hands and walked down the road. Ai Tingya asked curiously, ¡°Where¡¯s your bicycle?¡± Luo Feng looked at the sky and said sadly, ¡°Just now, Vice Principal Liu called me and said that I am about to graduate and wanted me to leave my ride in the school as a memento. I agreed on impulse.¡± He understood that he was already preparing for the follow-on from the college entrance examination top scorer. Ai Tingya covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°It¡¯s good for them to keep it. We can come back often to take a look in the future.¡± Chapter 67 ?67 They¡¯ve Long Treated Ai Tingya As Family The two of them held hands and strolled casually on the road. Their three years of high school were very tight, they had to rush even after eating. Ai Tingya felt that she had not taken such a slow walk in a long time. Everything on the street seemed unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. The store making the popcorn alone made Ai Tingya want to stand still and take a look. ¡°Do you want to eat?¡± Luo Feng took out his wallet. ¡°No, no. We¡¯re going back to eat soon.¡± Mother Luo was preparing a sumptuous dinner when they went out for the exam in the morning. Ai Tingya liked Mother Luo¡¯s cooking very much and had been thinking about it since she came out of the examination hall. Just as the two of them were looking at each other affectionately, Luo Feng¡¯s phone buzzed. The phone receiver honestly conveyed Mother Luo¡¯s lion roar. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you back yet? The food is getting cold!¡± It¡¯s already summer, how cold can it be? Luo Feng thought to himself. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re on the way.¡± There were still people waiting at home, so the two of them gave up on the idea of walking back slowly. Luo Feng hailed a taxi to step on the accelerator to quickly reach home. Mother Luo had been waiting at the door for a long time. The moment she saw Ai Tingya return, she hurriedly took the pencil case from her. ¡°Tingya is back. It¡¯s been hard on you for the exam. Quickly wash your hands and prepare to eat. Auntie made chicken soup for you. Nourish yourself well!¡± Mother Luo nagged as she led Ai Tingya into the kitchen. There were four to five pots on the stove. Mother Luo opened them one by one to let Ai Tingya see the dishes today. ¡°It¡¯s so sumptuous, Auntie. You¡¯re amazing!¡± Ai Tingya said in surprise. Her words made Mother Luo overjoyed. Luo Feng was left alone on the doorstep. What was going on? Why didn¡¯t anyone care about him? Coincidentally, Father Luo, who was passing by, saw his son standing at the door. ¡°Why are you standing there? Come in and help.¡± Alright¡­ Luo Feng accepted reality. He was only fit for a life of hard work. Actually, the two of them came back relatively late and did not need any help. The dining table was filled with sumptuous delicacies. There were two types of fish. Mother Luo was best at bean paste fish and steamed bass. The braised pork knuckle was placed in the middle and was quite impressive. It was surrounded by sweet and sour pork and white oil belly strips. Green vegetables could only be used as decorations. ¡°Wow! Our family is celebrating the new year! How can they eat so well!¡± Luo Feng exclaimed. Usually, the three of them at home would eat one meat and one vegetable. Today, they must have brought out all their secrets. Mother Luo came out of the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks. ¡°Of course we have to make it as grand as possible to celebrate the end of Tingya¡¯s college entrance examination. Hurry up and pour the drinks.¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey, mom, we have two college entrance examination students at home, okay?¡± Luo Feng protested. Why? You mean there wouldn¡¯t be this table of dishes if I was the only one taking the college entrance examination? Mother Luo rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°Our family¡¯s policy is to raise our son in austerity, our daughter in indulgence. You¡¯re benefiting from Tingya.¡± When Ai Tingya, who was in the kitchen, heard this, her hand that was scooping the soup suddenly paused. So the auntie already treated her as a family. Ai Tingya felt grieved and happy at the same time. Even though Dean Du had done her best to create an atmosphere of family for the children in the orphanage, Ai Tingya had never experienced playing around with her parents like this. Moreover, she was openly favored. In the past, Ai Tingya felt that it was extravagant just to think about it. She was so touched that she wanted to cry, but she was too happy to cry. When Luo Feng came in to look for her, he saw that she was staring blankly at the chicken soup pot. He hugged Ai Tingya from behind and said, ¡°Is my mother¡¯s soup that pretty?¡± Luo Feng guessed that Ai Tingya must have heard the conversation between him and his mother. Luo Feng tightened his arms and hugged Ai Tingya even tighter. Outside the kitchen, Father and Mother Luo sat quietly at the dining table. Father Luo looked in the direction of the kitchen. ¡°How long does it take for them to come out with one bowl of soup? I¡¯ll call them out for dinner.¡± ¡°Aiya!¡± Mother Luo pressed Father Luo back into his seat and said softly, ¡°Give them some space to be alone! Children of this age like to stick together!¡± The two of them looked at the sumptuous food that was gradually turning cold on the table and then at the silent kitchen. They swallowed hard. Mother Luo was very gratified. Her son was stable. Her efforts had not been in vain! ¡­ After dinner, the family watched television happily for a while. Mother Luo originally wanted Ai Tingya to stay at home. There was everything at home and everything was convenient after all. However, Ai Tingya insisted on returning to the orphanage. After the exam, she wanted to see her family in the orphanage. Mother Luo couldn¡¯t force her to stay, so she instructed Luo Feng to send Ai Tingya home. Luo Feng didn¡¯t tell his mother that his bicycle had been taken away by the principal. He could only borrow a bicycle from Lei Jin. Ai Tingya sat in the back seat and hugged Luo Feng¡¯s waist. ¡°Why don¡¯t we buy another bicycle? Otherwise, it¡¯ll be inconvenient for you to travel.¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°We should buy a car if anything. We would have to travel further in the future. Since the college entrance examination is over, let¡¯s go get our driver¡¯s licenses during the summer vacation.¡± He actually knew how to drive, but he did not have a license in the current world and could not go on the road. Ai Tingya did not refute when she heard that he wanted to buy a car. She would definitely be worried about money again if it was in the past. However, ever since the milk tea shop was built, not only did it resolve the economic crisis of the orphanage, it had also made a lot of money. This was the first time Ai Tingya calmly chatted with Luo Feng about buying things. ¡°We can get the driver¡¯s license, but we might have to buy the car after we work.¡± Ai Tingya calculated the profits of the milk tea shop. They had the money to buy a car, but she wanted to use that money to run the milk tea shop better. ¡°One cent can¡¯t do two things,¡± Ai Tingya sighed. ¡°Then why don¡¯t we just earn two cents worth of money?¡± Luo Feng said casually. Earning money wasn¡¯t hard at all to him currently. As long as there was a legitimate reason, such as investing, he could get a lot of money. Ai Tingya thought that Luo Feng was talking about expanding the milk tea shop and said happily, ¡°So you have the idea of expanding the milk tea shop too. I was still thinking about what to tell you.¡± Previously, the two of them had put this matter on hold because of their studies. Ai Tingya rubbed her palms together now that she could finally start over. She could not wait any longer. Luo Feng choked. He didn¡¯t mean that. He just wanted Ai Tingya to idle around and work hard to help him spend money. Only then would he be able to earn more money! Forget it! It was a good thing that Ai Tingya was motivated. After all, the future female CEO needed to be trained in the early stages. In any case, expansion required a large sum of money. Right now, there were only two things that could make Luo Feng happy. One was with Ai Tingya, and the other was spending money on her. ¡°Alright, go ahead if you want to do it. I support you!¡± Luo Feng confessed. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart warmed. She pressed her face against Luo Feng¡¯s waist and whispered, ¡°You¡¯re the best.¡± Chapter 68 ?68 Prospects For The Future, Open A Company! Luo Feng went straight into his room after returning home. He laid on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling, seriously thinking about expanding the milk tea shop. Luo Feng got up, opened his notebook, and began to write a plan after lying down for a while. Mother Luo quietly pushed open the door and saw Luo Feng writing something through the crack. She was so touched that she almost cried out. She covered her mouth and quietly closed the door again. Father Luo, who was sitting on the sofa watching television, asked curiously, ¡°Weren¡¯t you going to get your son to eat fruits? Where is he?¡± Mama Luo raised her index finger to her mouth. ¡°Shh! My son is studying. Don¡¯t disturb him!¡± ¡°The college entrance examination is over. Why would he still be studying?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Anyway, it¡¯s always good to be studying. He¡¯s writing and drawing with a serious expression. I¡¯m really touched. All of this is Tingya¡¯s credit!¡± Mother Luo had always insisted that Ai Tingya¡¯s good habits had infected Luo Feng, so she liked Ai Tingya even more every time she saw Luo Feng improve a little. ¡°Xiao Feng is finally sensible. I don¡¯t have to worry so much anymore.¡± Mother Luo patted her chest in relief. ¡­ The next morning, Luo Feng brought the proposal to the orphanage to look for Ai Tingya. The children in the orphanage were very happy to see him. They kept calling him ¡°Brother Luo Feng¡± and pounced on Luo Feng, wanting to play with him. Luo Feng was already surrounded by the children when Ai Tingya came out of the house. It wasn¡¯t easy to pull him out of the group of children, so Ai Tingya brought Luo Feng to her room. ¡°I have something good to show you,¡± Ai Tingya said mysteriously. This little girl had a lot of ideas. Luo Feng sat by the bed expectantly, wondering if Ai Tingya had prepared another gift for him. ¡°Luo Feng, look!¡± Ai Tingya carried the thick stack of A4 paper and placed it on Luo Feng¡¯s lap. ¡°This¡­¡± The fire in Luo Feng¡¯s heart was extinguished by the bold words ¡°Good Me Milk Tea Shop Expansion Plan¡±. So the supposedly good thing were just a stack of cold proposals, and they were so thick! Ai Tingya sat beside Luo Feng and said, ¡°I did it all night last night and optimized the previous proposal. Give me some suggestions after you¡¯re done reading it.¡± Luo Feng placed his share in Ai Tingya¡¯s hands. ¡°What a coincidence, I made one too.¡± ¡°We¡¯re really telepathic.¡± Ai Tingya pursed her lips and saw the sweetness of a love letter in the proposal. Luo Feng read very quickly and finished reading the thick proposal in about 10 minutes. This proposal was much more detailed than the one Ai Tingya had made previously. Even though there were still many problems, it was already very perfect for an 18-year-old student. Luo Feng remembered that in his previous life, Ai Tingya only used a few years to go from an orphan girl to the CEO of a listed company. Her ability was definitely unparalleled. He had seen the initial stages of her talents now. ¡°Well written!¡± Luo Feng gave her a thumbs up. Ai Tingya patted him lightly and blushed. ¡°We¡¯re talking about serious matters. Don¡¯t coax me.¡± Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m not coaxing you. You did a good job, but there are still some things that need improvement.¡± Ai Tingya immediately entered a learning state. She took out a pen and paper from under her pillow, ready to take notes at any time. ¡°The management model will be: shop assistant, supervisor, and store manager, you only have the shop assistant and the store manager on your proposal. This is too much work, and the store manager can¡¯t handle it alone.¡± Ai Tingya nodded seriously and took down the main points. ¡°But the cost will increase if we set up two positions,¡± Ai Tingya said. If the shop assistant had a salary of 1,000 yuan, the supervisor would want at least 2,000 yuan, and the manager would want 3,000 yuan. Ai Tingya often helped out in the milk tea shop. She felt that there would be too many people if there were two in management, yet one person seemed to be too few. After weighing the pros and cons, she only set one management level. Of course, Luo Feng wouldn¡¯t be giving out a salary for the branch manager. He planned to attract others to join and earn franchise fees. This was also the business model of the future milk tea shops. In the future, milk tea brands would be like spring bamboo shoots after a rain. They would be especially popular! After a milk tea brand was established, it would be opened to franchises. The main source of income was the franchise fees. Even though it was a little unscrupulous, there were indeed a few brands with good reputations and business. The franchise partner was the store manager. Learning the formula from the head office depended on the store manager¡¯s ability. The head office would receive a lot of money and would be more guaranteed. Luo Feng continued to explain, ¡°Since we¡¯re going to do it, we have to do it well! We can¡¯t just look at Crown City. We have to radiate throughout the country! We have to make it the earliest milk tea brand in our country!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s blood boiled. ¡°Then what should we do first?¡± Luo Feng enunciated each word clearly, ¡°Start! A! Company!¡± If he wanted to open up the franchise, then the franchise would have to buy raw materials from the headquarters. Of course, Luo Feng could come in and buy cheap goods, then sell them to the franchise at a higher price to earn some money. However, that bit of profit was too little in Luo Feng¡¯s opinion. He was too lazy to waste his energy. ¡°The first step is to register a company and take the Good Me brand under the company¡¯s name and start operating the brand. The second step is to acquire a food production factory and produce raw materials. After it¡¯s opened to the public, it can supply other shops.¡± Luo Feng wrote down the general direction of the future on the paper. Therefore, the management of the shop that Ai Tingya was conflicted about was not so important in comparison. ¡°Can we open a company?¡± Ai Tingya did not even dare to think about it. The tens of thousands of yuan was all in her hands after the milk tea shop made a profit. Could this money open a company? Luo Feng put his arm around Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Trust your boyfriend. If I say yes, it¡¯s a yes.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s my boyfriend?¡± Ai Tingya nudged Luo Feng with her shoulder and said shyly, ¡°The college entrance examination results aren¡¯t out yet. You¡¯ll only be if you are the top scorer!¡± They had been together for so long, but she was still so shy. Luo Feng felt that Ai Tingya¡¯s shy look was very cute, so he carried her and sat her on his lap. ¡°I don¡¯t need to wait for the results to know that you won¡¯t be able to escape.¡± Luo Feng wrapped his arms around Ai Tingya¡¯s waist and let her lean on his shoulder. However, Ai Tingya was like a dishonest cat, wanting to run out. ¡°The door isn¡¯t closed. What if someone sees us? Let go of me quickly!¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I hug my wife? No!¡± ¡°Luo Feng, be good. It won¡¯t be good if the other children see this.¡± ¡°How can there be a child? Any sensible child should be playing in the backyard now and won¡¯t disturb us.¡± Luo Feng took the opportunity to steal a kiss on Ai Tingya¡¯s face, and what greeted him was a cute punch from Ai Tingya. Xiao Fei, who was at the door, heard the commotion inside and doubted herself. ¡°Am I an insensible child?!¡± Chapter 69 - 69 Ai Tingya Expressed Her Heartache 69 Ai Tingya Expressed Her Heartache On the third day of summer vacation, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya didn¡¯t stay idle. The two of them boarded the bus and headed to the city. It took half an hour by bus from Crown City to Nanlin City. The minibus could be stopped at any time because there were more people. They did not have to wait at the station to buy tickets as they could buy them on the bus. When they got into the car, they realized that the seats were gone. The center aisle was filled with people, and the narrow carriage looked like a sardine can. There was also a smell that was hard to describe in words. The gasoline and sweat mixed together. It didn¡¯t smell bad, but it smelled uncomfortable. Ai Tingya did not look too good after getting into the car. He let her lean against him and silently confirmed his goal of buying a car. When the food factory was settled, he would definitely buy a small car. ¡°Do you think the food factory owner will be willing to sell it to us if it¡¯s just the two of us?¡± Ai Tingya felt uncomfortable and wanted to find a topic to divert her attention. ¡°He will be willing even if he doesn¡¯t want to if it was me.¡± His sixth senses told him. Yesterday, the two of them had drawn up the first step of the expansion plan. Coincidentally, Dean Du came to look for Ai Tingya. Dean Du had some connections in society, so Luo Feng asked her about the food factory. One summer vacation wouldn¡¯t be enough for them to find a new factory, buy new machines, and recruit employees if they opened their own factory. Hence, Luo Feng hoped to find a ready-made one that could be quickly produced. Coincidentally, Dean Du had a boss she knew who was thinking of giving up the factory because business was not good, so she contacted him. Originally, Dean Du wanted to go with the two of them, worried that they would be deceived by the other party because they were young and inexperienced. However, Luo Feng said that he wanted a chance to train and would come back to discuss it with Dean Du before paying. Only then did Dean Du feel relieved that the two of them went alone. At this moment, the car stopped by the roadside and people got out one after another. Luo Feng looked at a seat and wrapped his arm around Ai Tingya¡¯s slender waist. He quickly took two steps and pressed her into the seat. ¡°Huh?¡± Ai Tingya felt that she had been moved over. She had already sat down before she could react. ¡°There¡¯s still a while before we get off. Let¡¯s rest for a while.¡± Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s hair. A young man beside him who wanted to snatch a seat stomped his feet in anger. He was the one who saw it first. It was occupied before he could move! He was even forced to eat dog food. What was so great about having a beautiful partner?! After another ten minutes of bumpy ride, the car stopped by the road in the city center. The two of them got out of the car. Ai Tingya¡¯s motion sickness improved a lot. She rarely came to the city. The tall buildings in front of her made her feel small and helpless. However, Ai Tingya felt that her body contained infinite courage as long as she looked at Luo Feng beside her. Luo Feng pulled her back just as she was about to ask passersby for the way to the food factory. ¡°It¡¯s too tiring to ride in the car. I¡¯ll bring you somewhere to rest.¡± Ai Tingya thought it would be a park bench or a book stall. until the two of them stopped in front of a dazzling hotel. Ai Tingya¡¯s brain froze. Vienna Hotel was one of the few five-star hotels in Nanlin City. From Luo Feng¡¯s perspective as a future person, the golden yellow style in the hall was slightly old-fashioned. However, in a society where living standards had not risen long ago, the golden color of the house gave off the impression of high-class richness. The most eye-catching thing on the entire street was the imposing Roman stone pillar at the entrance of the Vienna Hotel. It made ordinary people shrink back. ¡°Why did you bring me here?¡± Ai Tingya flinched. It was obvious that this place was very expensive at a glance. It had always been a forbidden area that she kept a respectful distance from. Luo Feng held her hand and walked up the stairs. ¡°I might stay in the city for a few days, so I booked a room here to rest.¡± Ai Tingya could not believe her ears. ¡°How much¡­ Did you spend?¡± ¡°1,300 yuan.¡± Ai Tingya clutched her chest, her heart aching so much that she was about to vomit blood. 1,000 yuan was enough to support the orphanage for half a month. What kind of room could be so expensive? It was simply a robbery! ¡°Cancel it!¡± Ai Tingya said firmly. ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± Luo Feng knew about her reaction, so he booked a good bed room instead of an even more expensive suite. ¡°I¡¯ve already paid. It¡¯ll be a waste if you don¡¯t stay. Let¡¯s go.¡± Luo Feng pulled the unwilling Ai Tingya in, and a beautiful waiter immediately welcomed them. A standard 90-degree bow. ¡°Hello, do you have a reservation?¡± ¡°Luo Feng, 122¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Luo, this is your room card. Please follow me.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya followed behind the waiter. Ai Tingya could not help but glance at the back of the waiter. The waiter of the high-end hotel was well-dressed and spoke politely. Ai Tingya looked at herself again. Her childish student attire paled in comparison. She was a little embarrassed, but she tried her best to hold her head high, as if the higher she held her head, the more at ease she seemed. The surrounding glass decorations recorded Ai Tingya¡¯s clumsy performance. The waiter turned his head and smiled. ¡°Miss, is your neck uncomfortable? Our hotel has a professional massage on the third floor. You can go up and try.¡± The waiter did not have any intention of making fun of her. Ai Tingya immediately retracted her neck, and her entire face instantly turned red. Her fingers fumbled with the corners of her clothes in a panic, feeling that she had embarrassed herself again in front of Luo Feng. She really wanted to find a hole to hide in it! Ai Tingya was looking down sadly when a pair of hands reached over and held her hand. ¡°Tingya, it¡¯s okay.¡± Luo Feng walked beside her, his other hand gently patting Ai Tingya¡¯s back, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m here, by your side.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached when he saw her embarrassed expression. He made up his mind to bring her around more in the future. Confidence was accumulated bit by bit. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart gradually calmed down with his comfort. She simply leaned on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder. The three of them walked into the elevator. The reflective elevator panel reflected the two of them snuggling up. A good-looking couple was very compatible with the appearance of the male and female leads of idol dramas. The waiter was very professional and knew not to pry into the guests¡¯ privacy. However, the two of them were too eye-catching. The waiter stole glances at them from time to time. She led the two of them to the room. ¡°This is your room. I wish you a pleasant stay.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Ai Tingya finally relaxed after the waiter left. This was her first time staying in a hotel. In the past, it was almost always a school or an orphanage. She might occasionally do some part-time work to supplement her expenses. She had only seen what the interior of the hotel looked like in television dramas. Luo Feng opened the door and a fragrance wafted into his nose. The furniture and facilities in the room were very complete. The bed was spacious and soft, making him feel like he was lying in a cloud. ¡°Why is there only one bed?¡± Ai Tingya said embarrassedly. ¡°I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll be afraid if you stay alone¡± Luo Feng said confidently, ¡°I¡¯ll go get another room if you¡¯re embarrassed.¡± ¡°Forget it, forget it.¡± Ai Tingya held her forehead. Her head hurt just thinking about the price. Get another room? Her heart would ache so much that she would vomit blood! Chapter 70 ?70 Coincidentally, The Factory Is Not Running Well Ai Tingya tried her best to convince herself to accept the reality of sharing a bed. It doesn¡¯t matter. She and Luo Feng are in love with each other, and their parents have met. They were very satisfied. And Luo Feng is an upright person¡­ He probably won¡¯t have any other thoughts¡­ Probably. She would sleep on the ground at most! After standing for a few minutes, Ai Tingya finally convinced herself and walked around the room again. Luo Feng lay on his side on the bed with his head propped up. He admired Ai Tingya¡¯s shy and cute expression as she tried her best to pretend to be calm. He waited for Ai Tingya to show an even more conflicted expression. In his previous life, he had stayed in more than 800 hotels for business trips. The only thing that left a deep impression on him was the Vienna Hotel. This was because their bathroom was too unique! While the hotels were still separating the walls with cumbersome bricks, the Vienna Hotel was already using glass walls. While he could not see through the frosted texture he could see every move of the silhouette. Not only would it be graceful, it would also leave enough room for imagination. It was really very suitable for a young couple. Ai Tingya circled the room curiously and discovered the strange scene in the bathroom. She rushed to the bed in disbelief. ¡°What¡¯s going on in that room?¡± Luo Feng revealed a puzzled expression: ¡°I don¡¯t know either, maybe it¡¯s a specialty of theirs.¡± ¡°Luo Feng!¡± Ai Tingya stomped her feet in embarrassment. She knew that Luo Feng did it on purpose. The corners of Luo Feng¡¯s eyes drooped as he apologized, ¡°Tingya, are you angry? Then let¡¯s go to another place.¡± If they were to change to another hotel, not only would they lose more than a thousand yuan, but they would also spend even more money. Luo Feng knew that Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t bear to part with it, nor could she bear to be angry with him. He was just so fearless. Ai Tingya choked. She really didn¡¯t know what to do with Luo Feng. The milk tea shop was operating smoothly. She had tens of thousands of yuan on her and could afford to stay in a room that cost more than a thousand yuan, but she felt that it was too wasteful. It was just used for sleeping. Why would she need so much money? Ai Tingya was like a pufferfish. She deflated again after being angry for a while. She really couldn¡¯t flare up at Luo Feng. ¡°Forget it, forget it. Get ready and let¡¯s go to the food factory.¡± Luo Feng smiled after getting his way. He stood up and put his arm around Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder, letting her lie in his arms. ¡°It¡¯s still early anyway. Let¡¯s sleep for a while.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s ears were burning. She struggled for a while before gradually calming down. ¡°You are just bullying me,¡± Ai Tingya said coquettishly. Luo Feng kissed her hair: ¡°Why would I bully you, I want to give you the best things in the world¡± He hugged Ai Tingya and lay quietly. Ai Tingya¡¯s breathing gradually calmed down in his arms. After a while, she fell asleep. Luo Feng closed his eyes in satisfaction too. The two of them took a short nap and woke up at lunchtime. After washing up briefly, the two of them went downstairs for a meal. They shopped nearby until 1 p.m. and played in the vicinity until the factory was open to take a taxi there. Luo Feng named a place and the driver was a little surprised. He turned around and looked at the two of them. ¡°It¡¯s a little far over. Do the two of you have money? You can take the public bus to get there.¡± ¡°Where can I take the bus?¡± Ai Tingya subconsciously said when she heard that it would be very expensive. The driver was about to give them directions when Luo Feng stopped him. ¡°It might take a few hours to take the bus. Master, we have money. Just send us to our destination.¡± When the bus arrived, the factory would probably be off work. ¡°Alright.¡± The driver only felt relieved after getting a definite answer. This was the periphery of Nanlin City. A large piece of wasteland was unattended. A cement road the width of a car was spread out like a hair ribbon on an overgrown empty space. Not far away, the entrance of a factory was filled with people. One could vaguely see the signboard of the Good Luck food factory. It was the one that Dean Du had introduced. At this moment, the door was blocked by people. In the middle, a fatty with a big belly was grabbed by the collar by a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man raised his fist and said fiercely, ¡°Are you going to pay or not?¡± The fatty was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He raised his hands and surrendered. ¡°Old Ma, let¡¯s talk things out! It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to give it to you, but the factory is incurring severe losses. We really don¡¯t have money!¡± The workers around him who were asking for salaries were already tired of hearing his words. They rushed forward excitedly. ¡°What do you mean you don¡¯t have money! You changed to a new car the day before yesterday!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve delayed our salary for half a year. My family is starving to death!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t see you share the profits with us when business was good. Yet you deducted our wages when the business isn¡¯t going well! Return us our money!¡± ¡°You won¡¯t be able to leave today if you don¡¯t give us today!¡± The Fatty, who was squeezed in the middle, was at a loss. His explanation was suppressed by the voices asking for their salaries. It was useless no matter what he said. Luo Feng protected Ai Tingya and squeezed into the middle. Luo Feng said, ¡°Everyone, calm down! Calm down!¡± How could he make the agitated workers listen to him? Luo Feng said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m here to buy a factory.¡± The scene was instantly silent. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the young man who suddenly appeared. The Fatty lifted his clothes and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He said in disbelief, ¡°You want to buy my factory?¡± Luo Feng nodded, ¡°Right, Dean Du introduced us.¡± The Fatty did not believe it at first and thought that it was a child¡¯s prank. However, when he heard Dean Du, he vaguely remembered that Dean Du said that two children had come over to talk on her behalf. ¡°Come with me.¡± The fatty led the two of them in. The workers behind were afraid that the fatty would run away, so they stopped the three of them. The leader, Old Ma, said, ¡°When will you pay me?¡± Fatty said, ¡°Old Ma, don¡¯t cause trouble if someone comes to discuss business. I promise I¡¯ll give it to you as soon as I get the money!¡± Everyone looked at the fatty, then at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. It didn¡¯t seem reliable no matter how they looked at it. However, they couldn¡¯t find any other good solutions, so they had no choice but to make way. Fatty heaved a sigh of relief. As he walked, he asked, ¡°Who are you to Dean Du?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Dean Du¡¯s child. He¡¯s my classmate,¡± Ai Tingya said. The children in the orphanage were all Dean Du¡¯s children. Fatty understood when she said that. ¡°My name is Pei You. You can call me Factory Manager Pei. Did Dean Du tell you my conditions?¡± The fatty asked. The asking price of the Good Luck food factory was a little high. Moreover, Factory Manager Pei asked the buyer to supplement the worker¡¯s salary for half a year. It was another high expenditure. Therefore, Chang Fang had released the news of the intention to sell three months ago and no one who came to ask about it or had any follow-up. ¡°She did.¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°To be honest, the price is a little high.¡± Ai Tingya smiled in relief hearing this. After being together for so long, Luo Feng finally learned to bargain normally and not raise the price. She could worry less. Factory Manager Pei did not hesitate at all. ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t want to sell the factory either, but business is not easy. I still owe the raw materials factory money, so it has to have a higher asking price.¡± Chapter 71 ?71 It Would Not Be Fair If We Do Not Compensate The Working People The sale of Factory Manager Pei¡¯s factory was not only its factories and equipment, but also the land under his feet. It was just that the northwest suburbs were too desolate, and no one was interested in this land. Coupled with the global financial crisis in the past two years, there were factory buildings everywhere. Everyone else was going for cheaper ones. Luo Feng kept thinking about the northwestern suburbs. He felt that it was very familiar from the first time he heard this name but he couldn¡¯t remember where he heard it from. Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t make up her mind, so she could only wait for Luo Feng to make the decision. Seeing that the two of them did not speak, Factory Manager Pei said helplessly, ¡°I know you think this land is worthless. I think so too. The roads at the entrance were built by the nearby residents with their own money. The government doesn¡¯t care at all.¡± His words reminded Luo Feng! The reason why it was so desolate was because the government had yet to plan this place! ¡°I¡¯m buying it!¡± Luo Feng immediately decided. Factory Manager Pei was so shocked that he could not speak. He organized his words slightly before saying, ¡°Do you know how much I¡¯m selling it for?¡± ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°¡­2.5 million yuan!¡± Factory Manager Pei said. He was very uncertain facing these two students. In addition, Luo Feng said he wanted to buy them without asking for the price. This was too childish. Perhaps these two brats will find a random reason later to say they won¡¯t buy it after all. Luo Feng thought about it and said, ¡°2.5 million yuan, this doesn¡¯t sound too good.¡± ¡°Here it comes.¡± Factory Manager Pei sighed silently and thought without hope. ¡°He¡¯s definitely not buying it then.¡± Unexpectedly, Luo Feng continued, ¡°I¡¯ll add another 200,000yuan on the condition that you help us on a small favor!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Factory Manager Pei and Ai Tingya opened their mouths in shock. Ai Tingya felt that she was wrong. Luo Feng was still the same Luo Feng. He was still so biased. Factory Manager Pei was so happy that he couldn¡¯t find his bearings. He was also worried that Luo Feng would make fun of him. ¡°You¡¯re not lying to me, right? What favor?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°In the future, we¡¯ll be producing milk tea ingredients. The machines in the factory will definitely not work. I hope you can help us find two suitable machines. They don¡¯t have to be too good, as long as they can produce normally.¡± He remembered that the development in the northwest suburbs had begun when he was in his sophomore year. At that time, all the factories and households here had to move elsewhere, so he could just buy a second-hand machine. ¡°That¡¯s simple,¡± Factory Manager Pei agreed immediately. He had been running a factory for so many years, so it was easy for him to take out two machines. ¡°What else?¡± ¡°Also, help me find out about the sale of land. I want as much land as possible there is in the surrounding area.¡± Luo Feng calculated. It would be a profitable business regardless of whether the government buys it or he builds up on it himself. Factory Manager Pei didn¡¯t understand. Their northwestern suburbs were so inconvenient, and the land wasn¡¯t very fertile. There wasn¡¯t even a vegetable grower, so why would Luo Feng buy land? Seeing that he didn¡¯t say anything, Luo Feng asked, ¡°Do you agree?¡± ¡°That¡¯s easy. I¡¯ll get a friend to ask around for you.¡± It was not difficult to buy land. Factory Manager Pei felt that these two requests were really simple. He could earn an additional 200,000 yuan just by asking a few questions! ¡­ Business was going well inside but the workers outside were indeed gloomy. Old Ma sighed. ¡°I don¡¯t know. They look like students to me. Who knows if they¡¯re really here to buy a factory?¡± The crew-cut man said helplessly, ¡°Let¡¯s wait. We¡¯ve been waiting for half a year. This little while won¡¯t make a difference.¡± There were more than 50 workers in the entire factory, but only a dozen of them were left. The remaining workers could not wait any more and had long gone out to work. They had to support their families. Food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation all cost money. They could wait for two months, but half a year was too long. The remaining people here were either stubborn or had family matters to attend to. They could only guard here to the death. Of course, Old Ma did not want to sit on this hard concrete floor and wait. He also wanted to go out and work. The cost of milk powder for his one-year-old son at home was hundreds of yuan a month. His wife, who had just given birth, could not work, and his parents were old. He had to raise four mouths alone, and the pressure of the entire family¡¯s survival was on his shoulders. The family had old, weak, women, and a child. Old Ma did not want to abandon them and go out to work if there was a job near home. Thinking of this, Old Ma buried his face in his rough hands. ¡°No matter how much we get today, I¡¯ll immediately buy a ticket to the south. I heard that many factories there are hiring and their salaries are higher than Nanlin.¡± The crew-cut man said looking at his dejected face. Old Ma did not know how to answer. There were fewer and fewer of them, and their strength was getting weaker. The chances of getting money were also getting lower and lower. However, what could the others say? If possible, who would be willing to leave their hometown? Old Ma was distraught. The scale in his heart placed his family on one side and the pressure of survival on the other. The surrounding sighs tilted to the pressure of survival. He reached into his pocket, thinking of smoking a cigarette to ease his mood. Unexpectedly, he only felt the hole in his pocket. Old Ma laughed self-deprecatingly. In this situation, he could not even afford a pack of cigarettes that cost five yuan. ¡­ When the three people who were discussing business came out of the factory, the workers immediately got up from the ground. Hope and despair were written all over their faces. Factory Manager Pei hid behind Luo Feng. He was no longer the person in charge. Everyone¡¯s gaze gathered on Luo Feng¡¯s face: ¡°How was the negotiation? When can you pay up?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°I think this factory is not bad, I¡¯ve already decided to buy it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve also agreed to Director Pei¡¯s request. I¡¯ll settle your arrears today, but I feel that it¡¯s a little inappropriate.¡± The sudden turn of events made the workers droop their heads, feeling very uneasy. They would not insist on half a year¡¯s salary. They were already very satisfied as long as they had three months! They only begged not to delay any longer! Luo Feng said slowly, ¡°Since he owed you guys for so long, I have to give you at least another half a year¡¯s salary as compensation!¡± Everyone looked up in surprise, suspecting that they were hallucinating. ¡°There are also workers who have left the factory. Please inform them that they will also have similar compensation. Remember to come and register.¡± ¡°Not only that, the food factory will return to normal after that. I don¡¯t mind increasing your salary by another 20% if you¡¯re willing to stay and you perform well. The treatment will be the same for workers who left and are willing to come back.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Old Ma stammered, ¡°Bro¡­ Boss, is what you said true?¡± Luo Feng nodded and smiled, ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. You can start registering your name immediately and get your arrears settled before you sign the new contract.¡± Chapter 72 ?72 Good Boss, Is It Too Late To Jump Ship Now? Luo Feng felt that it was only right for him to pay the workers since he accepted the food factory. Moreover, they were all experienced old employees. If they could stay, they would help the factory get on the right track. The cheat restricted him from spending meaningless money. It should not be meaningless to compensate the workers. All of this had to be accounted for in the factory investment! When Factory Manager Pei saw this, he chuckled and moved closer to Luo Feng. ¡°Boss Luo, do you think I can still help?¡± ¡°Factory Manager Pei, lucky you are still here. Help me calculate the arrears in salary first. We¡¯ll calculate the money together later.¡± Luo Feng was very generous. His words were like a calming pill that stabilized the workers¡¯ uneasy hearts. Some workers could not help but feel excited. They covered their mouths but could not hide their sobs. Even a tough man like Old Ma, could not help but feel a lump in his throat. ¡°Don¡¯t stand here. Let¡¯s go in first.¡± Factory Manager Pei called out to everyone. The workers were calculating their salaries in the conference room. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya sat in the office and sipped tea. Luo Feng contacted his lawyer to sign the contract. He put down his phone and met Ai Tingya¡¯s scrutinizing gaze. Luo Feng sighed secretly and thought to himself, ¡°Ai Tingya is like this every time I spend money. When will this silly girl help me squander money?¡± ¡°I know what you want to say. Tell me.¡± Luo Feng leaned back on the sofa and waited for Ai Tingya to lecture him. Ai Tingya retracted her gaze and took a sip of tea. ¡°This tea tastes good.¡± This was not the first time she had met Luo Feng. In any case, he always had his reasons for doing things. Ai Tingya did not want to keep nagging, and he had done a good deed this time. Ai Tingya also rose from the bottom. How could she not know the difficulties of living at the bottom thinking of the weathered faces and rough hands of the workers? She felt sad just thinking about how the workers were asking for their salaries. In any case, it was not like they could not earn that money back. She would just work harder in the future. Luo Feng was too surprised to see Ai Tingya leisurely sipping tea. Where did the sun come from today? She did not even chide him. An hour or so later, a slightly plump lawyer wearing black-rimmed glasses and carrying a heavy briefcase stood at the door. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Luo?¡± The lawyer handed over his business card. Luo Feng took the business card and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it. ¡°Lawyer Deng, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you. I¡¯ve been waiting for you. Take a seat.¡± Lawyer Deng¡¯s face turned even redder. He had just become a full-time lawyer, so how could he stand the flattery of ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about you¡±? ¡°You¡¯re too kind. Just call me Xiao Deng.¡± In his previous life, Luo Feng had interacted with Lawyer Deng. At that time, he was already lying on the hospital bed, and Xing Miaomiao took his money and ran away. Lei Jin couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so he spent a lot of money to hire Lawyer Deng from Junyou Law Firm. This Lawyer Deng was famous in Nanlin City for his sharp thinking and words. He could often find legal reasons to defend his defendants in the details. Back then, he had rendered Xing Miaomiao¡¯s lawyer speechless. However, Luo Feng really didn¡¯t have the strength to tangle with Xing Miaomiao in the end, so this matter was left unsettled. Lawyer Deng was still young. He was slightly inexperienced, but he was still professional. More importantly, Lawyer Deng¡¯s value would rise a few years later. This price would not be enough for him to travel out so far like he did today in the future. Luo Feng wasn¡¯t afraid of spending money, but he also liked to take advantage of others. It would be a waste not to take advantage of others. After calculating the salary, Factory Manager Pei returned with the contract and handed it to Lawyer Deng. The two of them exchanged views on the details in the contract. Lawyer Deng read it very seriously and did not miss any details. He was very professional and reliable. Luo Feng directly threw it to him and he did not have to care about anything. Lawyer Deng specially pulled Luo Feng outside in order to prevent his employer from being fooled. ¡°Do you know the details of the price?¡± Lawyer Deng asked sincerely. Luo Feng nodded: ¡°The factory costs 2,700,000 yuan, and with the workers¡¯ salary compensation, it¡¯s about 500,000 yuan. It should be able to be settled within 3,300,000 yuan.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your price a little too high?¡± ¡°I offered it, is there a problem with my price?¡± ¡°¡­No problem.¡± Lawyer Deng had nothing to say. The employer¡¯s words were like heaven and earth, an imperial edict. If the employer felt that there was no problem, there was no problem. After signing the contract, the phone in Luo Feng¡¯s pocket vibrated. [Congratulations to the host for successfully purchasing the factory and obtaining a profit of 9.6 million!] 300% return. He was only one step away from becoming a multimillionaire! Luo Feng was overjoyed. The corners of his eyes and brows were filled with smiles. Factory Manager Pei was grinning from ear to ear. The debt problem was finally resolved. Lawyer Deng was in a good mood. This was the simplest contract he had done, and the commission was not low. All three of them felt that they had taken advantage of the situation. The office was filled with joy. ¡­ Outside the office, the workers leaned against the door and observed the situation through the crack. ¡°They¡¯ve signed the contract!¡± The crew-cut man couldn¡¯t suppress his joy even if he lowered his voice. ¡°Our salary will finally be paid!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! There¡¯s no need to venture outside.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like a dream to meet such a generous boss!¡± Old Ma felt a lump in his throat. He wiped his hot eyes and said, ¡°Boss is straightforward, so are we. Let¡¯s go and work together. Let¡¯s strive to start work early.¡± ¡°But work has been suspended for months. We don¡¯t even know what product the boss wants.¡± Old Ma was hot-blooded and had to do something. He picked up a rag and said, ¡°Clean it up, at the very least? The boss said that we can start work immediately.¡± Time was money and life. The group of people hurriedly ran towards the production area. The people in the office heard the commotion outside and stuck their heads out to see the workers holding brooms and buckets. They understood that they were going to clean up. Factory Manager Pei said enviously, ¡°Boss Luo, I¡¯ve opened a factory for so many years, but this is the first time I¡¯ve seen the workers so proactive in their work. Are they being given their salary today?¡± Luo Feng waved his hand: ¡°Sure! Why not! I definitely won¡¯t allow my subordinates to work for free!¡± When Lawyer Deng, who was behind him, heard this, he was so moved that tears streamed down his face. This was the first time he had seen such a conscientious boss. He wondered if he could jump ship to the factory thinking about his superior, that m*therf*cker Zhou. Factory Manager Pei was happy. He found a rag from somewhere. ¡°Then it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to be a temporary worker, right? I¡¯ll help clean up too.¡± ¡°Are you short of money?¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t understand. Factory Manager Pei scratched his head in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯ve been a little tight on money recently. I¡¯ll earn as much as I can.¡± Luo Feng laughed, ¡°Put the cleaning aside, help me contact the production machine first.¡± Chapter 73 ?73 If You Want To Spend, Spend On Higher Quality Goods! After settling the food factory, Luo Feng couldn¡¯t wait to pull Ai Tingya onto the streets. There were many more places to shop in the city than in Crown City. Luo Feng set a small goal. He was still a few hundred thousand yuan away from earning 10 million yuan, so he relied on Ai Tingya to spend more money. He first brought Ai Tingya to the mall to buy clothes and chose a few unbelievably expensive clothes for Ai Tingya to try on. When the shop assistants saw the two of them, they swarmed over and introduced them enthusiastically. ¡°Miss, your figure is so good. You¡¯re simply a walking clothes rack. You¡¯ll definitely look good in this dress!¡± ¡°Young man, you have good taste. These two clothes are the treasures of our shop!¡± ¡°It¡¯s designed by a great teacher with first-rate tailoring skills. This fabric feels extraordinary to the touch, right? The clothes you¡¯re wearing are also very tasteful. One look and I can tell that you¡¯re fashion experts!¡± The salespeople praised him profusely. Luo Feng laughed secretly in his heart. They were not fashion experts. The clothes on Ai Tingya¡¯s body were seasonal goods that she had bought herself. She had bought them last year and wore them this year. They were 20 yuan each. However, he could not stop Ai Tingya from being good-looking. She could be fashionable even in a potato bag. ¡°Go try these on.¡± Luo Feng smiled and handed the clothes to Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya looked at it in disdain. In her opinion, the clothes that Luo Feng would choose in the future were too fashionable. Ai Tingya could not think of any fabric that could be sold for more than 1,000 yuan when she looked at the price again! Were there gold threads wrapped in it? ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Let¡¯s take a look first.¡± Ai Tingya used a useful bargaining technique and looked picky as she returned the clothes to the salesperson. She pulled Luo Feng out of the clothing store as if they were escaping. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Luo Feng let go of Ai Tingya¡¯s hand, ¡°Your clothes don¡¯t look good?¡± Ai Tingya said sternly, ¡°It¡¯s not about whether it¡¯s good-looking or not. Look at the price. It¡¯s even more expensive than the room you booked. Why don¡¯t they rob us!¡± Luo Feng thought to himself, I¡¯m just picking the expensive ones. ¡°You can¡¯t do this anymore!¡± Ai Tingya said with her hands on her hips. ¡°We still have a lot of money to spend after we open the factory. Don¡¯t spend it on such boring things!¡± ¡°How can this be boring?¡± Luo Feng put his arm around Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You¡¯ll be the lady boss in the future, so you have to wear better clothes. Otherwise, others will think that our factory is going to close down. Moreover, it¡¯s just a piece of clothing. It won¡¯t be much compared to the factory¡¯s expenses.¡± Luo Feng was really trying his best to persuade Ai Tingya to spend money, hoping that she would be enlightened one day. ¡°No, no matter how small a mosquito is, it¡¯s still meat,¡± Ai Tingya insisted. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about money. It¡¯ll make me look useless,¡± Luo Feng said as he led Ai Tingya around the shopping street. He bought a pile of food for Ai Tingya under his sweet words. However, such a small fight was still a long way from his 10 million yuan! He had to do something real! Luo Feng stopped in front of a shop. The inside was shining with golden light, and it was truly exuding treasure vibes. Ai Tingya looked at the gold shop in front of her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to go in and take a look.¡± Luo Feng chuckled. ¡°You know me best.¡± ¡°Do you want to look at jewelry? Rings or necklaces?¡± Luo Feng wanted to give Ai Tingya something of status. ¡°Let¡¯s look at the ring first.¡± The service lady had just led the two of them to the ring counter when another service lady brought over a small basin of water and some skincare products. She took Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and soaked it in the water. ¡°I¡¯ll give you hand care. Take your time to browse.¡± Luo Feng knew that this was a service routine that worked in gold shops. During the period of hand care for a woman, there was enough time to promote items to her. After doing it, her hands would be smoother and she would look better with a ring. First, she washed it simply, then applied the frosting cream and massaged it slowly. Finally, she put on a layer of hand membrane, put on disposable gloves, and applied it slowly. Then, she changed her other hand. Ai Tingya was not used to being served and looked at Luo Feng in embarrassment. Luo Feng raised his chin to point out to her that there was also a couple picking out rings. Girls enjoy hand care. Her boyfriend also felt that the ring was very beautiful, revealing a satisfied smile on his face. His gentle face instantly became stern again when he saw the price. Luo Feng secretly glanced over and realized that the bow-shaped gold ring cost 20,000 yuan! No wonder his boyfriend¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t good. ¡°I just want this. Buy it! You¡¯re the best. Buy it!¡± The girlfriend said coquettishly, pulling her boyfriend¡¯s sleeve and swinging it around. The boyfriend was in a difficult position. His girlfriend would be unhappy if he didn¡¯t buy it, but he would be unhappy if he bought it. Hence, he thought of a compromise. He pointed at another cheaper ring and said, ¡°Take this out and let me take a look.¡± Seeing this, the girlfriend pouted and reluctantly tried it on. ¡°It¡¯s not nice!¡± His girlfriend said in disdain. ¡°Then let¡¯s look at the others,¡± her boyfriend coaxed, quietly asking the waitress to put the ring back. Luo Feng shook his head enviously. When would Ai Tingya be like this, asking him for precious things? He nudged Ai Tingya¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Look at her. The things she chose are so beautiful.¡± The service lady seemed to have good hearing and immediately grasped the keyword. She smiled and said, ¡°May I ask if you have a budget so that I can recommend it to you?¡± Luo Feng smiled, ¡°I don¡¯t have a budget. I¡¯ll buy anything as long as she likes it and wants it!¡± It was as if a thunderclap had exploded on the ground. Everyone in the gold shop looked at Luo Feng. The shock was indescribable, as if they were looking at the richest man in disguise. The waitress was overjoyed. She had never seen a woman who could reject gold jewelry. The young lady in front of her was not old either. Her calm expression was probably because she had not seen enough. She took out a few boxes like she was carrying bricks. When she opened them, they were so golden that they almost blinded her. ¡°The young lady is young and is very suited with these little flower pendants. It¡¯s small and exquisite. See if you like it.¡± ¡°This bracelet suits you very well. Look at how fair your skin is. It¡¯s the most popular pattern this year. Look at how delicate these patterns are!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have any ear holes? It¡¯s alright, this ear clip is definitely suitable for you. It¡¯s very stable and will definitely not fall off!¡± The service lady enthusiastically promoted gold jewelry to Ai Tingya. All kinds of beautiful and exquisite gold jewelry were placed in front of her, making Ai Tingya¡¯s face glow. Ai Tingya was not good at rejecting people, but she felt that the price was really a sin. It was really higher than she had imagined! She emptied her stomach and thought about rejecting people. ¡°I don¡¯t like these very much¡­¡± Ai Tingya mustered her courage and said. In the face of a passionate sister¡¯s disappointed face, she added, ¡°I want to see the couple ring. May I?¡± Chapter 74 ?74 What Should I Do If My Girlfriend Doesn¡¯t Spend Money? Please Teach Me. Since he had walked into this shop today, he would not leave without buying something. Ai Tingya knew Luo Feng¡¯s temper too well and decided to buy a cheaper¡­ Ah no, a memorable couple ring. ¡°Oh, I understand what you¡¯re thinking.¡± The service lady smiled. ¡°The two of you are a perfect match. You should have a pair of good-looking rings to match you.¡± Ai Tingya pursed her lips in embarrassment, but she was very happy. Luo Feng was dissatisfied: ¡°If you want a ring, let¡¯s just buy a diamond, one for eternity.¡± The service lady smiled and said, ¡°Are the two of you getting married? Why don¡¯t you take a look at the Three Gold set.?¡± Luo Feng shook his head regretfully: ¡°It¡¯s a pity I¡¯m not of legal age yet, otherwise I will propose on the spot.¡± ¡°Stop talking.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s face was burning. ¡°I¡¯ll just buy a matching couple ring. As for marriage, we still have to study so we won¡¯t consider it for the time being.¡± The service lady revealed a very regretful expression. She wished she could get the two of them to bring the Three Gold set, turn left when they leave the shop and immediately get a marriage certificate. She took out three boxes that were filled with matching rings and arranged them one by one for Ai Tingya to choose slowly. However, Ai Tingya wanted to buy the cheapest one. She did not want to face the price on it. Why are they all so expensive! At the other counter, the other lady¡¯s boyfriend, who was also in a terrible fix, held his forehead and sighed like Ai Tingya. ¡°Why are they all so expensive!¡± Her boyfriend felt bitter. What sin had he committed to come out to shop and meet a weirdo who only wanted to spend money? At this moment, he felt someone walk to his side. He turned around and realized that it was the weirdo he was talking about. It was that handsome man stared at his girlfriend enviously. Any man would be alarmed. The boyfriend blocked Luo Feng¡¯s line of sight and said in an unfriendly tone, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Luo Feng realized that his gaze might have offended him, so he smiled and said, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m just here to ask you for guidance.¡± ¡°Guidance for what?¡± Luo Feng glanced at Ai Tingya, who was choosing a ring, and whispered, ¡°How can I teach my girlfriend to spend money? My girlfriend saves too much money for me. I can¡¯t even buy her something more expensive.¡± ??? If it weren¡¯t for the sincerity in Luo Feng¡¯s eyes, this boyfriend would have thought that he was here to show off. Wasn¡¯t it good to save money? Did she have to use up your entire monthly salary every time she shopped? What kind of thought process was this?! ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so humorous. Aren¡¯t you happy that your girlfriend helped you save money? Why don¡¯t you get these gold trinkets that are sold by weight? You get what you pay for and there¡¯s still resale value. Your girlfriend will definitely agree readily.¡± The boyfriend forced a smile and replied. Luo Feng looked at the ring that weighed grams. The workmanship was very rough, and the surface was not even as smooth as a key ring. The boyfriend continued to grumble softly, ¡°I think gold jewelry is too much. The good-looking ones aren¡¯t made of gold. The handicraft fee is also very high. It¡¯s better to weigh them.¡± Luo Feng said worriedly, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if the fee is higher, I¡¯m just afraid that she won¡¯t like it¡­¡± The boyfriend was speechless. He felt that this gold shop was very dangerous. He would probably lose his wallet if he stayed any longer! He immediately turned around and slapped the card on the counter. ¡°Wrap up the ring just now. Swipe my card!¡± The girlfriend jumped up happily and hugged her boyfriend¡¯s neck to kiss him again and again. ¡°Thank you, my dear. You¡¯re so good to me! I like you the most!¡± After he took the ring, he smiled politely at Luo Feng and pulled his girlfriend away from the gold shop. Luo Feng shook his head helplessly and walked back to Ai Tingya¡¯s side to see what she had chosen. The service lady said, ¡°Yes, this one has a free gift. It¡¯s a beauty apparatus that massages the face. This one will give you a set of bowls. You can¡¯t change the free gift. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Ai Tingya chose two rings with similar prices. She liked one of the rings more, while she liked the free gift for the other ring. She was conflicted about which one to buy. The service lady suggested, ¡°Ask your boyfriend. He should know your preferences the best.¡± ¡°No, no, no!¡± Ai Tingya shook her head like a rattle drum. ¡°I¡¯ll decide. I don¡¯t have to ask for his opinion.¡± Luo Feng would definitely tell her to buy both without even looking at them, then swipe his card and leave if that were to happen. ¡°This one!¡± Ai Tingya finally chose the ring that gave her the bowls. While the beauty apparatus was more valuable, she had not much use for it. It was not as practical as bowls. When Luo Feng was paying, he realized that Ai Tingya had chosen one which was the cheapest and also the lowest grade. Moreover, it was sand gold, which was not as valuable as pure gold. He was willing to spend money, but he did not want to spend it for nothing. ¡°My silly wife.¡± Luo Feng helplessly pulled her back to the counter, ¡°Don¡¯t just look at the price, choose another pair!¡± ¡°I like this pair. Why do I have to choose again?¡± Ai Tingya said in surprise. Luo Feng didn¡¯t listen to her and said to the waitress, ¡°Please hide the price tag. We want to choose again.¡± The waitress couldn¡¯t stop smiling. Immediately, three people surrounded her and flipped the price tag over. Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t dissuade Luo Feng, so she could only choose again. After paying the bill, the two of them left the gold shop under the respectful escort of the service lady. Luo Feng was still very dissatisfied. He had only spent 10,000 yuan, so the return wasn¡¯t much. He was still far from his small goal! Ai Tingya noticed that his expression was not good and thought that she had embarrassed herself again. ¡°Luo Feng, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng smiled and took her hand, saying lovingly: ¡°I¡¯m worried you¡¯ll be cheated, you¡¯re going to be the boss lady of the company soon, you really have to have some accessories that you can wear.¡± The two of them walked unhurriedly towards the hotel. Luo Feng also took Ai Ting all kinds of tricks from the gold shops. ¡°The gold rings I asked you to pick have resale value. In comparison, sand gold can only be used as an ornament. Understood?¡± Luo Feng concluded. Ai Tingya silently memorized these knowledge points and exclaimed, ¡°How do you know so much?¡± ¡°There¡¯s more you don¡¯t know about me. Come back to the hotel with me and let me teach you slowly?¡± Luo Feng smiled until his teeth couldn¡¯t be seen. ¡°F*ck you!¡± Ai Tingya shyly turned to the side. Luo Feng pulled her over and said, ¡°Alright, alright, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. Let¡¯s discuss the company.¡± He was prepared to put the food factory and milk tea shop under the same company to pave the way for future milk tea brands. It would also be a big marketing highlight if they produced and sold their own milk tea. The two of them could completely register a company during the summer vacation and expand the size of the milk tea shop. The first step to establishing a business empire! ¡°, Chapter 75 ?75 Boss, Please Let Me Follow You Forever! According to the company¡¯s shareholdings, the orphanage, or rather, Ai Tingya, had 30% of the shares, and Luo Feng had 70%. Luo Feng followed this shareholdings even though he let Ai Tingya keep all the money. The two of them finally decided to name the company ¡°Ting Feng¡±. After dealing with the factory, Luo Feng decided to open his first branch in the city. The two of them ate and drank until they tried all the specialty snacks in Nanlin City. Luo Feng said that he was going to inspect the venue, and he found a good shop in the snack street. The rent in Nanlin City was more than two times higher than in Crown City. Luo Feng signed a five-year lease without thinking when he heard that he could spend a lot of money in one go. He tried his best to spend money on Ai Tingya, but Ai Tingya was too thrifty. The money she spent was nothing. It was still a long way from his small goal of gathering 10 million yuan. 100,000 yuan in rent got him 300,000 yuan in cashback. He found the best renovation company in the city and paid 200,000 yuan in advance for the renovation fee so he got 600,000 yuan in cashback. With this, Luo Feng finally gathered 10 million yuan! 10 million yuan was an unimaginable number in this era where the salary was about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan per capita. The two of them stayed in the Vienna Hotel for half a month. In the end, there was only one last question left. Who would take care of it? Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were going to university, so there was no one to take care of the Nanlin factory and Crown City¡¯s milk tea shop. Dean Du usually had to worry about the matters of the orphanage and couldn¡¯t help out. Even though Xiao Fei was smart, she was still young. She could help look after the shop, but she still needed to be trained in management. In the end, only one person was left¡ª Lu Zhao. Luo Feng called her to the Vienna Hotel and said that he had an instruction for her. Lu Zhao was also the manager of the milk tea shop before she jumped ship to Good Me Milk Tea Shop. She stayed in the shop all day and rarely came to the city. ¡°Hello, do you have a reservation?¡± The receptionist revealed a standard smile. ¡°I¡¯m looking for Luo Feng.¡± Lu Zhao replied. The receptionist looked at the memo. ¡°Mr. Luo Feng has left his instructions. Please follow me.¡± Luo Feng stayed in the Vienna Hotel for half a month and had already made arrangements. ¡°This is Mr. Luo Feng¡¯s room.¡± The receptionist led Lu Zhao to the place and smiled before leaving. Lu Zhao took a deep breath and knocked on the door. ¡°Mr. Luo, I¡¯m Lu Zhao.¡± The door opened and Luo Feng stood behind it. Lu Zhao¡¯s eyes widened and he was stunned! Was this confident young man in a suit still the same student boss? Luo Feng, who had taken off his school uniform, still had the youthfulness of an 18-year-old, but his eyes were like silent ancient wells with an unfathomable mystery. ¡°Hello¡­ M-Mr. Luo!¡± Lu Zhao said cautiously. Luo Feng was surprised. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for only half a month. Why are you so distant?¡± Previously, Lu Zhao either called him boss or Luo Feng directly because she was a few years older than Luo Feng when everyone was working in the shop together. Sometimes, she would even impart some of her experience to Luo Feng and also ask him about their relationship. She had never realized that her student boss was really handsome and rich. He even lived in a dazzling hotel. He was not on the same level as her! It made her subconsciously nervous. Lu Zhao¡¯s body tensed up as he followed Luo Feng into the room. Ai Tingya¡¯s temperament had not changed much. She was still as good as ever, but her clothes were more fashionable. She had changed from a good-looking girl to a fashionable urban beauty. In the past half a month, the two of them had changed from the inside out! ¡°How¡¯s the shop?¡± Luo Feng asked casually. He had to find a topic to talk about. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhao stood at attention and reported energetically, ¡°Very good! After the summer vacation, students from other schools are also coming to the milk tea shop to buy milk tea. Business has always been good and stable!¡± ¡°Pfft.¡± Luo Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so reserved. I asked you to make a trip today mainly because I have a new mission for you¡± ¡°Pray tell me!¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°We¡¯re preparing to open a branch on New Summer Street and need your help.¡± New Summer Street was a famous snack street in Nanlin City. It was a tourist area built by the government. Lu Zhao knew that the business must be better than Crown City¡¯s milk tea shop if Luo Feng could open a shop in a prime location. Lu Zhao was in a difficult position. If she went to the city to work, she would be far away from home. Moreover, the pressure in the big city was high. She felt that it was good to stay in Crown City. ¡°Mr. Luo¡­ It might be a little¡­ Inconvenient.¡± ¡°Just call me Luo Feng. Think about rejecting me after hearing the remuneration package.¡± Lu Zhao knew that Luo Feng was very generous based on her past experience. The remuneration package he emphasized would definitely be very tempting. Lu Zhao couldn¡¯t help but feel a little curious and sit up straight to listen. Luo Feng said, ¡°I¡¯ll change the system of the old store after opening the branch. In the past, I gave the store manager a fixed salary. As for the Nanlin store, we¡¯ve decided to implement the store manager¡¯s share system. We¡¯ll implement the share reward system as long as the store manager¡¯s performance reaches the standard.¡± Lu Zhao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Reward!¡± Originally, Luo Feng¡¯s salary of 5,000 yuan was already above the average salary. Her salary might not be as high as that even if she worked hard in a big city. Moreover, Luo Feng directly split the money with her last time. There was actually an additional reward now! ¡°According to the turnover, you can get as much as 10%!¡± Luo Feng added. Lu Zhao¡¯s little head started spinning. Take Crown City¡¯s milk tea shop as an example. Its monthly net profit could be stable at about 20,000 yuan. If it was a dividend, 10% could be divided into 2,000 yuan. This was a conservative estimate. Nanlin City¡¯s consumption was higher and there were more young people after all. It was not impossible to make a net profit of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan! Lu Zhao¡¯s fixed salary of 5,000 yuan a month, coupled with a dividend of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, was considered a high salary even in a first-tier city in this era! Not to mention the share of equity shares and assets! She was instantly tempted. Far away from home? Inconvenience? They are all stumbling blocks that could be kicked away! Kick them away! Kick them all away! Luo Feng saw her expression and knew that she had more than half agreed, so he continued to push her: ¡°We have a food factory now that specializes in making the raw ingredients for the milk tea. The food factory and milk tea shop are both under the company¡¯s name.¡± ¡°Food factory? Milk tea shop?¡± Lu Zhao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Are we so high-end?¡± Luo Feng nodded: ¡°We conduct training regularly and launch a year-end reward system to reward outstanding managers when we have the scale.¡± Having a company and not having a company were two completely different concepts. Lu Zhao felt dizzy, as if she had been hit by a big gift. She had decided that she would follow Boss Luo Feng¡¯s lead and not abandon him even in death! ¡°I¡¯m willing, Boss!¡± Lu Zhao shouted excitedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely run the shop well! I¡¯ll love the company as much as I love my family!¡± Chapter 76 - 76 The Results Are Out, Let The Top Scorers Mother Speak 76 The Results Are Out, Let The Top Scorer¡¯s Mother Speak ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Boss. From now on, the company is my home. I¡¯ll go back and write a thousand-word business plan immediately. Don¡¯t worry!¡± Lu Zhao patted her chest and promised. She could no longer suppress her passion for fighting for the company and wanted to show it off immediately. ¡°Very good, very energetic.¡± Luo Feng felt that they were almost done chatting. Lu Zhao was very good at reading people¡¯s expressions. She raised her eyebrows at Ai Tingya. ¡°Boss, Madam, just enjoy your alone time. I¡¯ll definitely settle the matters in the shop.¡± Ai Tingya sent her out. Before leaving, Lu Zhao noticed the glass wall of the bathroom. This was the first time she had seen such¡­ such an open-minded concept. She could not help but blush, revealing a few white teeth as she stared at Ai Tingya. Her gaze seemed to be saying, ¡°You young people are having a lot of fun eh!¡± Ai Tingya noticed her gaze and waved her hand as she explained, ¡°Sister Lu Zhao, no, it¡¯s not what you think. We¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to explain.¡± Lu Zhao revealed a meaningful smile. ¡°I¡¯ve been through this before. I understand.¡± Ai Tingya was speechless. She suddenly felt that her words were too weak. Lu Zhao would think that it was an excuse and maintain her smile no matter what she said. Ai Tingya walked back to her room unhappily after sending Lu Zhao downstairs. Then, she sat down on the bed. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault that Sister Lu Zhao misunderstood us.¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t understand, ¡°Misunderstand what? What misunderstanding can there be between us?¡± Ai Tingya was furious. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. Why did you have to book such a big bed room? And your bathroom¡­ Seriously!¡± She was too embarrassed to speak. Luo Feng walked over and hugged Ai Tingya, apologizing softly. Actually, the two of them had lived together for half a month. They have done everything other than the homerun. It was just that Ai Tingya had a psychological burden and felt that they could only go all the way after getting the marriage certificate. However, the two of them were not at the legal age yet. Luo Feng hugged the fragrant and soft Ai Tingya every day and could only taste the sweetness of rubbing the edges. That beautiful bathroom was not of any use. Not only did it not work, but it also became a burden. Ai Tingya would ask Luo Feng to sit by the bed and look at the scenery outside instead every time she took a shower. Luo Feng just sat there foolishly. He could only imagine what Ai Tingya looked like inside when he heard the sound of water splashing behind him. Luo Feng hated it and would rather have not created this situation. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be angry, I¡¯ll bring you to eat good food, alright?¡± Luo Feng threw out the candy. ¡°Hmph!¡± It would have been better if he hadn¡¯t said anything. Ai Tingya became even angrier when he mentioned about spending money. ¡°From tonight onwards, we¡¯ll be sleeping separately!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°Then go sleep in the bathtub!¡± ¡°Tingya, I was wrong!¡± Luo Feng felt bitter. He was completely controlled by Ai Tingya. ¡­ Soon, it was the day the college entrance examination results were announced. Ai Tingya¡¯s phone could not go online, so she went to the front desk to borrow the hotel¡¯s smartphone. Only then did the receptionist know that the young lady who had lived in the hotel for half a month was actually a college entrance examination student! They surrounded Ai Tingya and fought to see the results she had found. Ai Tingya nervously adjusted her breathing and looked down. ¡°748 points!¡± Only two points were deduced for the Chinese language. When the young lady standing behind saw this result, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Her mouth was so wide that an egg could be stuffed into it. ¡°Oh my god, young lady, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± ¡°You must be the top scorer this year!¡± ¡°Quick! Please give me an autograph. I want to take it back and frame it!¡± The ladies were even more excited than Ai Tingya herself. Ai Tingya scratched her head and said embarrassedly, ¡°This isn¡¯t my result. It¡¯s my boyfriend¡¯s.¡± The young ladies were equally shocked. ¡°The handsome boy who lives with you. Wow! I¡¯m so envious of you!¡± ¡°I can tell at a glance that your boyfriend is a highly intelligent person and is so rich.¡± ¡°Hurry up and check your own,¡± the young lady urged. At this moment, Luo Feng ran out of the elevator and raised his phone happily. ¡°Tingya, you scored 726! Did you see that?¡± ¡°You scored 748!¡± Luo Feng carried Ai Tingya and happily spun around twice. It turned out that both of them checked each other¡¯s results first. Ai Tingya tightly wrapped her arms around Luo Feng¡¯s neck and was so happy that she almost cried. He had really become the top scorer of the college entrance examination for her! ¡°I love you!¡± ¡°I love you too!¡± The two of them hugged each other, happy for each other. The young ladies standing at the side felt extremely happy just by looking at it. They wondered if they should advertise and pull a banner to ride on the popularity of the top scorer of the college entrance examination. The two of them were thinking about whether they should return to Crown City to report the good news or find a place to celebrate when Luo Feng¡¯s phone suddenly rang. The other side of the phone was very noisy, Mother Luo¡¯s panicked voice could be heard, ¡°Son, come back quickly! There are a lot of people at the door, saying they¡¯re looking for you!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s here?¡± ¡°I think he¡¯s from the Ministry of Education.¡± After hanging up, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya went out to hail a taxi and rushed back. ¡­ At the entrance of Luo Feng¡¯s house. Mother Luo looked at the crowd at the door and was so nervous that she did not know what to do. Teacher Yu squeezed to the front and smiled from ear to ear as she pulled Mother Luo over. ¡°Mother Luo Feng, we¡¯re here to congratulate you!¡± Pop! Color ribbons floated down one after another, scaring Mother Luo so much that she shrunk her neck. She saw a huge banner spread out behind the crowd before she knew what was going on. ¡°Warmly celebrating Student Luo Feng obtaining 748 points!¡± Happiness came too suddenly. Mother Luo was so happy that she couldn¡¯t stand steadily. Teacher Yu hurriedly supported her and said, ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s mother, congratulations. Luo Feng is this year¡¯s top science scholar!¡± Mother Luo could not believe her ears. Her son was really so promising! Was she dreaming?! She pinched her thigh hard, causing her to bare her teeth in pain. Then she immediately smiled from ear to ear. ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s all because you taught him well. Thank you so much.¡± When the neighbors nearby saw the commotion, they all ran out. The eye-catching banner shocked their entire families and they could not help but give the Luo family a thumbs up. Mother Luo had never felt so happy before. She was glowing! ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s mom, let me introduce you¡± Teacher Yu helped her to the front, ¡°This is our Vice Principal Liu, and this is Director Lu from the Ministry of Education. They¡¯re all here to congratulate Luo Feng. Speaking of which, where¡¯s Luo Feng? Why hasn¡¯t he come out yet?¡± ¡°Luo Feng isn¡¯t at home, but I¡¯ve already called him, he¡¯ll be back soon¡± Mother Luo saw how big the sun was outside and was afraid of neglecting the leader of the Ministry of Education, so she kept smiling apologetically. Director Lu smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Congratulations to the top scorer¡¯s mother, all the same.¡± The reporters in the crowd holding microphones hooted. ¡°Mother of the top scorer, share with us Luo Feng¡¯s learning state. How do you usually educate him?¡± Chapter 77 - 77 The First Words Of The Top Scorer Were An Advertisement? 77 The First Words Of The Top Scorer Were An Advertisement? All the famous television stations in Crown City surrounded Luo Feng¡¯s house, and the cameras were all aimed at Mother Luo. The cameras flashed, and for the first time in her life, Mother Luo experienced the treatment of a superstar. She couldn¡¯t stop smiling. ¡°Our Little Feng revised every day after coming back from school. After that, he has to send his classmates home. It¡¯s especially tough every day.¡± Mother Luo vividly described Luo Feng¡¯s school days and nights. Everyone looked at him with admiration. Director Lu nodded in satisfaction. It was very positive and very educational! It could be used as a positive promotional teaching material. He summoned a reporter from Crown City TV Station and asked her to stand beside him. He had to broadcast Luo Feng¡¯s most positive image. Liang Huan was beside herself. She had eaten enough dog food at the college entrance examination venue and thought that she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to interview the college entrance examination top scorer. Such a serious college entrance examination top scorer definitely wouldn¡¯t think about the young lady all day and in his paper in advance to pick her up. Liang Huan raised the microphone and said, ¡°Mother of the top scorer, you mean that Luo Feng revises with his classmates until late at night after class every day and sends them home?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The people who heard this revealed envious expressions. He helped his classmates even when he was under so much academic pressure. This year¡¯s top scorer must be such a sensible child. Teacher Yu also gave full affirmation on this point: ¡°Student Luo Feng is the most enthusiastic in our class. He will patiently explain no matter who asked him for help. Moreover, he balances the time he takes to help his classmates and himself learn very well! He¡¯s a very good child!¡± ¡°Then your class did well this year?¡± Liang Huan asked. Teacher Yu said confidently, ¡°Very well. Both the top and the second scorer of the college entrance examination are in my class!¡± Mother Luo asked, ¡°Is the second scorer Ai Tingya?¡± ¡°Yes! She scored 726 marks!¡± Everyone present gasped. The top and the second scorers were in the same class. This was a scene that many teachers would never see in their entire lives. Teacher Yu did not look very old, but her teaching achievements were already so great! Mother Luo was the happiest amongst them all. She danced with joy, even happier than hearing that Luo Feng became the top scholar. ¡°Aiya, our Tingya is really capable. She didn¡¯t study until so late every day in vain.¡± Mother Luo was in such a good mood that she decided to cook something delicious for Ai Tingya tonight. Teacher Yu was stunned. Why was Ai Tingya studying at Luo Feng¡¯s house every night? Wasn¡¯t it enough for them to stick to each other in school? Why did they have to continue sticking together when they got home? She wanted to change the topic to avoid puppy love being brought up. A nosy reporter asked, ¡°Our? May I ask if Ai Tingya is also a child of your family?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Mother Luo loved to argue about this relationship. Teacher Yu heard Mother Luo say confidently before she could stop her, ¡°Xiao Feng is only where he is today because of Tingya¡¯s supervision and encouragement. You don¡¯t know, our Xiao Feng was very naughty in the past. He was the last to enter the classroom every day and the first to run after school. His father and I beat him up many times, but he didn¡¯t like to study.¡± ¡°Fortunately, he met Tingya later on. She supervised his studies every day and came to tutor Xiao Feng every week. Guess what? His results improved so much that he could even tutor Tingya in the later stages. Hahaha!¡± Mother Luo covered her mouth and laughed non-stop. However, the others felt that something was wrong. The reporter asked again, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Ai Tingya that Luo Feng became the top scorer of the college entrance examination, right?¡± He felt that the first and second place were competing for supremacy and urging each other. How storylike! It was explosive enough. Teacher Yu¡¯s heart was in her throat. She could not cover Mother Luo¡¯s mouth in front of so many people. She could only beg Mother Luo in her heart to watch the occasion and not say anything messy. ¡°Not all,¡± Mother Luo said. Before Teacher Yu could catch her breath, she heard Mother Luo say, ¡°It¡¯s also because of love!¡± ¡°Cough! Cough, cough, cough!¡± Teacher Yu bent down and coughed violently. Sh*t! The leader is still here! ¡°Teacher Yu, what¡¯s wrong? Let me help you sit down for a while.¡± Mother Luo patted Teacher Yu¡¯s back and helped her sit on the stool beside her. Teacher Yu covered her face, not daring to look at Director Lu¡¯s expression. The reporters at the scene became excited. This was the explosive headline they wanted. The flashes couldn¡¯t stop and they aimed at Mother Luo¡¯s proud smile. Director Lu¡¯s face was terrifyingly dark. Young love was not suitable to be a role model. He patted Liang Huan¡¯s shoulder and gestured for her to interview Mother Luo. As expected, the reporters from the big station were more reliable at this time. Some media outlets were always working hard on unorthodox methods. Liang Huan suddenly felt a little unhappy. Why did this word sound so familiar? She seemed to have heard it at the college entrance examination. The sour smell of love had dealt her a huge blow. It was still fresh in her mind after a long time. Suddenly, one of the neighbors shouted, ¡°Luo Feng is back!¡± The faces and cameras seemed to have been trained. They all turned in the same direction, scaring Luo Feng. The people surrounding the door almost occupied half of the district. It was even livelier than giving out free eggs. ¡°It¡¯s Luo Feng!¡± The reporters swarmed forward. Of course, they had to give their spots to the leader in the end no matter how good their position was. Luo Feng saw Vice Principal Liu winking at him as if warning him not to spout nonsense. And there was someone standing beside him. Luo Feng remembered that he was Director Lu from the Ministry of Education and had come to their school to inspect before. However, for some reason, he felt that Director Lu¡¯s expression was a little ugly when he saw him and Ai Tingya holding hands. What surprised him even more was that the reporter who had interviewed him and his relationship studies at the school gate was also there. Luo Feng smiled and greeted, ¡°Hello, nice to meet you again.¡± Liang Huan did not know what expression to put on as she roared in her heart, ¡°It¡¯s indeed the two of you!¡± At that time, she accidentally stopped Luo Feng and interviewed him with a freak combination of factors. She heard him say that he wanted to be the top scholar in the college entrance examination and apply for Oxford. Even though Liang Huan felt that they were bragging, she still wished them well in their love and felt a little jealous. Who knew that it was true! Luo Feng really got the top scorer! Director Lu sorted out his emotions and walked over to shake Luo Feng¡¯s hand: ¡°Congratulations, Luo Feng, you¡¯re the pride of our Crown City!¡± The flash went off again, capturing this perfect scene. Mother Luo, who was standing at the side, was so relieved that she was about to cry. Her son was actually so promising and could even shake hands with the big leader. He would even be on the newspapers and television tomorrow. This was an honor that the Luo family had never had! Liang Huan walked up to the two of them at the right time and revealed a professional reporter¡¯s smile. ¡°Congratulations, Luo Feng. Do you have any feelings that you want to share with everyone?¡± Luo Feng looked at the people huddled together in front of him and felt that this scene was familiar. He said, ¡°I hope that everyone will support our Good Me Milk Tea.¡± Chapter 78 - 78 I Hope My Mother Will Be Proud 78 I Hope My Mother Will Be Proud Luo Feng saw so many heads moving around. It was too similar to when the milk tea shop became popular. He couldn¡¯t help but advertise. Director Lu¡¯s smile froze on his face, and Liang Huan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. One had to know that the advertisement slots on their station were hard to come by. Many famous companies lined up for three years, and some even spent a lot of money to cut the queue. Yet, Luo Feng just got them for free? Luo Feng looked at everyone¡¯s blank expressions and deduced that he didn¡¯t go into enough detail. ¡°Good Me Milk Tea opened a branch on New Summer Street in Nanlin City. We welcome all new and old customers to the shop.¡± Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± You¡¯re really not polite! Director Lu was speechless. The top scorer of this year¡¯s college entrance examination was too special compared to previous years, making him not know whether to be angry or laugh. Teacher Yu, who was resting by the corridor, heard Luo Feng advertise which offended so many people. She hurriedly came up to help her student redeem himself and whispered to Director Lu. ¡°The profits from the milk tea shop are mainly used for the construction of the orphanage. Ai Tingya is a child from the orphanage.¡± Director Lu was enlightened. This advertisement should indeed pass for the sake of public welfare! Teacher Yu heaved a sigh of relief. She finally established a tall image for Luo Feng and wasn¡¯t a love-struck fool after going through so many twists and turns. Chief Lu¡¯s tone was filled with admiration. ¡°Good job, student! I didn¡¯t expect you to have both a business mind and a compassionate heart. Congratulations again!¡± ¡°Thank you, Director Lu!¡± Luo Feng was neither servile nor overbearing. He was calm and gave the camera a perfect smile. The reporters seized the time to take photos. They were going to put this photo on the front page tomorrow! The neighborhood was not lively for long. Director Lu and Vice Principal Liu congratulated Luo Feng and handed him the prize money. They took a few photos and left. After the leaders left, it was the neighbors¡¯ turn to care. The old neighbors surrounded Mother Luo and praised her for her good education. They praised her so much that she couldn¡¯t find her way. She didn¡¯t even know when Luo Feng sent Ai Tingya back. Mother Luo had never thought that her son would be able to bring home money looking at a cheque for 50,000 yuan and a cheque for 30,000 yuan on the table. Moreover, this money carried the fragrance of honor. It was much more thought-provoking than the previous pork ribs! Mother Luo looked at the two checks left and right, wishing she could find a frame to frame them. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m back¡± Luo Feng opened the door and entered the house. Mother Luo ran over to hold his head and gave her son a kiss full of love. Mother Luo had never kissed him again ever since Luo Feng learned how to run, jump, and throw things. ¡°My good son, come in quickly. What do you want to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you!¡± Mother Luo seemed to have become a different person and was extremely solicitous. ¡°Anything you make is delicious.¡± Luo Feng smiled. That hit Mother Luo¡¯s soft spot. How could she have such a sensible son! ¡°What a good son you are. You¡¯re good at studying and even know how to open a shop. I¡¯m so proud of you!¡± After Mother Luo finished speaking, she remembered that she had never heard Luo Feng mention the milk tea shop. She asked, ¡°When did you open a milk tea shop? Where did you open it?¡± Luo Feng said without changing his expression, ¡°It¡¯s open at the school entrance. That milk tea shop was funded by Ting Ya Orphanage. I help when I¡¯m free.¡± Mother Luo would definitely ask him where he got the money from again if he said that the milk tea shop was his. Don¡¯t mention things if they could not be explained. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you,¡± Mother Luo said from the bottom of her heart. ¡°I¡¯m really proud of you.¡± Luo Feng felt a lump in his throat hearing this. In his previous life, he was engrossed in his business venture and had yet to achieve anything when his parents passed away. In the end, he did not do anything to express his filial piety. He did not expect to hear his mother¡¯s affirmation of him in his life. ¡°Thank you mom.¡± Luo Feng rubbed his eyes, his chest rippling with infinite warmth. ¡­ The news that Luo Feng was the top scholar of the college entrance examination spread like wildfire. Father Luo, who was originally working at the office, specially applied for leave and ran back with a bottle of wine in his hand. The father and son were going to get drunk. However, the house was destined to not be quiet today. After a while, there was another knock on Luo Feng¡¯s door. Lei Jin stood at the door with his mother, Sun Bi, holding milk and fruits. ¡°Sister Sun, you brought so many things with you. Come in quickly.¡± Mother Luo warmly invited them into the house. Sun Bi¡¯s eyes were red. Just looking at Luo Feng¡¯s face made her tears fall uncontrollably. ¡°Auntie Sun, what¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t cry¡± advised Luo Feng. Sun Bi lowered her head and wiped her tears. She was so excited that she could not speak. She only shook her head vigorously. Mother Luo sat beside Sun Bi. ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Your Auntie Sun is happy. Lei Jin, tell me, how did you do?¡± ¡°612.¡± Lei Jin said shyly. ¡°Not bad, Lei Jin. You performed exceptionally well!¡± Luo Feng was also very happy. This was much better than his previous life¡¯s results of just over 400. With Lei Jin¡¯s results, he could choose any key university in the province. Sun Bi wiped her tears and adjusted her emotions. ¡°I asked Teacher Yu just now. She said that Lei Jin is ranked in the top 20 in the school. It¡¯s not a problem for him to be in one of the key schools.¡± Mother Luo was deeply touched seeing her excited expression. ¡°This is great news. Sister Sun, you¡¯ve finally made it!¡± Sun Bi patted Mother Luo¡¯s hand: ¡°Luo Feng being the top scorer is still better. I came today to thank you, Luo Feng. Lei Jin wouldn¡¯t have gotten such a high score if it weren¡¯t for you.¡± She stood up without warning and bowed deeply to Luo Feng. Luo Feng quickly helped her up: ¡°Auntie Sun, you don¡¯t have to do this. I just gave Lei Jin some important points, and he mainly relied on his own hard work. He¡¯s been doing questions in school every day until his hands go weak. He deserves today¡¯s results.¡± Lei Jin immediately smiled hearing this. Finally, someone affirmed his hard work. Luo Feng was worthy of being his good brother for so many years, he really understood him! Lei Jin looked at his mother, his eyes filled with anticipation, hoping that his mother would give him an affirmation. Sun Bi touched Lei Jin¡¯s head. Only then did she realize that her son had grown taller than her at some point in time. She had to tiptoe to touch his head. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on the two of you.¡± Sun Bi smiled. Only they knew how difficult life was for the mother and son. Lei Jin thought of his mother¡¯s tiredness and couldn¡¯t hold back his tears. The big boy was too embarrassed to ask his mother for a hug, so he could only turn around and hug Luo Feng. Lei Jin was really grateful to Luo Feng. Lucky he had such a brother! Luckily, Luo Feng supervised him and he didn¡¯t disappoint his mother! ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Mother Luo patted their backs. ¡°Why are you crying on a big day? You haven¡¯t eaten yet, right? It¡¯s just right. Let¡¯s sit down and eat!¡± The two families were old acquaintances, so there was no need to be polite. Mother Luo prepared dinner, and Sun Bi rushed into the kitchen to help. The joy of the two families passed through the clank from the wine glasses. Luo Feng really hadn¡¯t eaten so happily in a long time. Chapter 79 ?79 The Tug-and-Pull War Between The Recruitment Teachers Luo Feng had just sent Lei Jin and his mother away when Ai Tingya appeared at the door after dinner. Luo Feng quickly pulled her into the house. ¡°You would have made it in time for dinner if you arrived 10 minutes earlier. Why did you bring the suitcase?¡± Ai Tingya was holding a brand new suitcase in her hand. The film on the outside had yet to be torn open, and she was holding a paper bag in her other hand. She handed the suitcase and the paper bag to Luo Feng. ¡°It¡¯s a gift from the Dean. I wanted to see you, so I brought it for you,¡± Ai Tingya said with a smile. Luo Feng opened it and found that the paper bag contained a sheet set, a thermos, and a new set of headphones. They were all things used in university and were very practical. ¡°Thank the Dean for me. I like them very much.¡± Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and entered the house. Seeing this, Mother Luo quickly asked if Ai Tingya had eaten yet. Ai Tingya came over after eating so she thanked Mother Luo repeatedly. After cleaning up the kitchen, Mother Luo called her husband back to their room, leaving the two of them alone. At this moment, Luo Feng¡¯s door rang again. He thought it was some classmate¡¯s parents. Luo Feng opened the door and realized that it was someone he didn¡¯t know. The young man wore gold-rimmed glasses and a well-ironed suit. He stood upright and exuded a refined aura. Luo Feng asked, ¡°Who are you looking for?¡± The college entrance examination was a battlefield for students, and it was the same for recruitment teachers. A province only had one top scholar in the humanities and one top scholar in the sciences. In comparison, there were many famous universities. The recruitment teachers of key universities had to seize every second to pull good students to their schools. ¡°Please come in¡± Luo Feng quickly invited him in when he heard that he was from Stanford. This was one of the schools that Ai Tingya and he wanted to enter. The two of them entered the house and sat down. Ai Tingya hurriedly served tea when she heard that he was a recruitment teacher. Mike Li only thanked her politely. Luo Feng had received a whole day of send-offs. Everyone who came to congratulate him had a 120% warm smile on their faces. Luo Feng was not used to suddenly having a polite and distant teacher. It made sense thinking about it. It was Stanford University after all. There were at least a dozen teachers who visited the top scorer of the college entrance examination every year. Mike Li went straight to the point: ¡°As for the school, I won¡¯t introduce it further. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve heard of it, Luo Feng. The school has a preferential policy for the top scholars of each province. Moreover, with your results, it¡¯s not a problem for you to choose the major you like.¡± Luo Feng glanced at Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Then can the second in the province enjoy the same treatment as me?¡± Mike Li frowned when he heard something that came out of nowhere. ¡°What does second place in the province have to do with you?¡± ¡°She¡¯s my girlfriend.¡± Mike Li stroked his chin and thought about it. He remembered that the second name in the province was Ai Tingya, and she was also a recruitment target for the school. He had yet to visit her. It turned out that he would recruit another student this year. He really didn¡¯t care. In any case, Ai Tingya was also very outstanding. It wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to apply to their school. It¡¯s just that her treatment definitely won¡¯t be comparable to Luo Feng¡¯s. ¡°I can¡¯t guarantee that. You know that some privileges are only open to the top scholar. Why don¡¯t I waive the tuition fees or something?¡± Mike Li said sincerely. With their school¡¯s reputation, there was no need to break the precedent for a second place. Or rather, he was too lazy to apply. Before coming to Luo Feng¡¯s house, he had already gone to the neighboring province to look for the top scorer of the college entrance examination there. When the other party heard that there were all kinds of preferential treatment, he couldn¡¯t stop smiling and signed the registration form on the spot. Mike Li looked at Luo Feng in confusion. He was discussing it with the girl next to him. Wait¡­ ¡°Are you Ai Tingya?¡± Mike Li asked. ¡°Yes, hello, Teacher,¡± Ai Tingya greeted politely. The two of them looked at each other. Mike Li looked away awkwardly. He had not said anything bad. Why did he feel like he did something bad? Some things were hard to say with the second place staring at him. Ai Tingya knew that it was not good for her to be here, so she prepared to return to the orphanage first. At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Ai Tingya walked over to open the door and saw Xiao Fei standing outside. Behind her was a kind-looking old man. His white beard was very neat, and his eyes narrowed into gentle crescents when he smiled. ¡°You¡¯re indeed here.¡± Xiao Fei pulled Ai Tingya over and introduced her to the old man with a smile. ¡°Professor Jing, she¡¯s Ai Tingya.¡± Professor Jing chuckled and held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. ¡°Hello, Ai Tingya. I¡¯m an admissions teacher from Oxford University in this province. I couldn¡¯t find you at the orphanage, so the young lady brought me here.¡± Xiao Fei raised her head proudly. She knew Ai Tingya the best. She knew where she was in a jiff. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Ai Tingya hesitated. Wasn¡¯t this even more awkward¡­ It was not appropriate for the admissions teacher to make another trip. Ai Tingya simply invited him into the house. Professor Jing entered the room and saw Mike Li. The two of them were stunned at the same time, and the situation became even more awkward. They were all teachers from top universities and had more or less met each other. It was rare for two admission teachers to snatch someone. Everyone would intentionally or unintentionally avoid such an ugly situation. Therefore, Professor Jing ignored Luo Feng, who was the first and went to Ai Tingya¡¯s, who was placed second, place of residence. Who would have thought that the first and second place would be together this year? The four of them sat on one side and looked at each other. ¡°Ahem, since both of you are here, let me tell you about the treatment of our school¡­¡± Professor Jing was indeed an old professor who had seen many storms. He directly told them about the preferential treatment the school gave to the top students. And it blurred the difference between the first and second place, making Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, who were tied together, feel very good. Mike Li knew what was going on. He was going to snatch them away in front of him! It was one thing not to be able to recruit students, but it was another thing to be inferior. He quickly changed his words. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to discuss this matter with Ai Tingya. Our school cherishes talents very much.¡± Professor Jing was not to be outdone. He immediately made the decision and said clearly, ¡°Luo Feng, as long as you¡¯re willing to come to our school, I guarantee that Ai Tingya will enjoy the same preferential treatment as you!¡± He was an old professor of the school after all. He had a greater say compared to Mike Li. Seeing that he could not win against Professor Jing in this aspect, Mike Li changed the topic and said, ¡°Professor Jing, let them think about it themselves. After all, they will only enjoy the benefits for four years. Choosing the right major is a matter of a lifetime.¡± Stanford and Oxford had their own ace majors, and Mike Li wanted to start with them. Professor Jing was also very willing to hear their thoughts. Luo Feng suddenly raised his head and said, ¡°Teachers, how are the accommodations?¡± Chapter 80 ?80 I Have To Be Fierce In Order To Donate Money! ¡°Teachers, how is the accommodation situation in the school?¡± Luo Feng asked. Mike Li choked. Why was accommodation more important? Why did Luo Feng keep thinking about it? ¡°Our school¡¯s accommodation conditions are very good. Two people to one room with a separate bathroom. Moreover, the boys¡¯ dormitory is closer to the canteen and the sports field. The girls¡¯ dormitory conditions are similar, but it¡¯s a little further back.¡± Mike Li cleared his throat and said, in order not to be beaten by Professor Jing. When Luo Feng heard this, he frowned slightly in dissatisfaction. Mike Li did not know why he was dissatisfied. Their school¡¯s dormitory building had just been repaired this year. It was slightly better than Stanford¡¯s. Why did Luo Feng have such an expression? ¡°The male and female dormitories are too far apart. Wouldn¡¯t it be like a long-distance relationship?¡± Luo Feng said. Mike Li was speechless. Professor Jing stroked his beard, indicating that Mike Li was still too inexperienced. Suddenly, he slapped Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°I can understand you well, Student Luo Feng. Back then, my lover and I also met on the university campus. I could see her combing her hair by the window when I jogged past every morning. I still can¡¯t forget her golden-threaded hair. At that time, I swore that I would definitely marry her.¡± Then, Professor Jing began to introduce the accommodations. ¡°Our school¡¯s male and female dormitories are in the same area. The two buildings are facing each other. Student Ai Tingya and you can start holding hands when you go downstairs. You can meet for dinner and classes.¡± Luo Feng pinched his chin and imagined it. He felt that it was very good. He liked it very much. It all depended on how Tingya would choose now that they had a dating venue. He turned to look at Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Tingya, what do you think?¡± If she wanted to earn money and run her and Luo Feng¡¯s company, she had to know how to do business. Therefore, she did not care about the treatment or accommodation. She only cared about whether she could have her preferred education. Professor Jing raised his head and laughed upon hearing this. ¡°Of course. Student Ai Tingya, finance is our ace. You¡¯re very welcome to join.¡± Mike Li wilted like a frosted eggplant, defeated by Oxford. Professor Jing took advantage of the situation. ¡°It seems that the two of you are more inclined to our school. I¡¯ll come and sign the admission application with you tomorrow. I hope we can study together in the future.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor,¡± they said in unison. After chatting for a while, it was getting late. Professor Jing and Mike Li prepared to leave. Mike Li thought about it and felt that something was wrong. He whispered to Professor Jing, ¡°Professor, why do I remember that your wife is more than 20 years younger than you? Where did you get a school romance?¡± Professor Jing coughed awkwardly and said seriously, ¡°I was teaching in the school at that time. Can¡¯t I look up at the student dormitory?¡± Mike Li stared at Professor Jing speechlessly. You¡¯re really good at avoiding the important points. I didn¡¯t lose because of my school¡¯s aptitude, but my eloquence. He thought to himself. After sending the two recruitment teachers off, Luo Feng looked at the resplendent neon lights on the street and wanted to bring Ai Tingya shopping on the street and buy some school supplies. ¡°Luo Feng, you said that I can control the income of the milk tea shop. Is that true?¡± Ai Tingya suddenly asked solemnly. Luo Feng nodded seriously seeing this. The two of them found the nearest ATM. When Ai Tingya was withdrawing the money, Luo Feng turned around and listened to the ATM clatter. Luo Feng knew that the amount was not small at all. The package on Ai Tingya¡¯s back was bulging. It was really not safe for the two students to carry a large amount of cash, so Luo Feng hailed a taxi on the street and the two of them returned to the orphanage. There was a strict rest period in the orphanage. The children were not allowed to play in the courtyard after eight in the evening. The courtyard was silent, and one could vaguely hear the laughter in the room. The two of them went straight to Dean Du¡¯s room. When they pushed open the door, they saw Dean Du sitting at his desk. ¡°Xiaoya, you¡¯re back. Did you see the recruitment teacher?¡± When Dean Du saw Ai Tingya, she hurriedly stood up and poured water for the two of them. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart ached as she looked at the additional white hair on Dean Du¡¯s temples. ¡°Xiaoya, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Dean Du saw that she was about to cry and looked at Luo Feng worriedly. Ai Tingya blinked and restrained her emotions. She took out a thick wad of cash from her bag and handed it to Dean Du. ¡°Dean, this is 50,000 yuan. I hope you can accept it.¡± Director Du did not care what Ai Tingya¡¯s intentions were. Her first reaction was to push the money back. ¡°What are you doing? Take the money back!¡± Ai Tingya maintained the gesture of paying and said, ¡°Dean, I¡¯ve decided to go to Oxford to study. I won¡¯t be able to be by your side for a long time. You¡¯ll have to deal with many things in the orphanage alone.¡± Dean Du looked helplessly at Ai Tingya, who was about to cry. This child was too sensible. She was clearly still a child, but she was already worried about the adults. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about us. Just focus on studying. Xiao Fei is not young anymore. She can work in the milk tea shop. The other children are also sensible and know how to learn from you. Don¡¯t worry about us,¡± Dean Du declined. She knew that 50,000 yuan might be almost all of Ai Tingya¡¯s savings. She might have successfully entered university but she could not bear to accept it when she would have to spend money everywhere in another city. However, Ai Tingya was very persistent. Her hand that was holding the 50,000 yuan trembled slightly, and she had no intention of putting it down. She insisted that Dean Du take it. Luo Feng could not stand it anymore. He took the cash from Ai Tingya and handed it to Dean Du. ¡°This is a token of Tingya¡¯s appreciation. Dean, please accept it,¡± Luo Feng advised. ¡°If you don¡¯t accept it, she won¡¯t be able to go out to study in peace.¡± Dean Du looked at Luo Feng and then at Ai Tingya. He took the money and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll help you save it first.¡± Ai Tingya rubbed her eyes and sniffled happily. ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡± Dean Du rubbed Ai Tingya¡¯s head helplessly and lovingly. Generally, children from orphanages would no longer belong to the orphanage after they turned 18 years old. They had their own lives to fight for. Over the years, Dean Du had raised so many children. Some might come back once a year, and she would never see some of them ever again. Ai Tingya was the most obedient and sensible child she had ever raised. She could not bear to part with her. Dean Du¡¯s eyes turned red at the thought of this. Luo Feng changed the topic seeing that the two of them were about to cry. ¡°Dean Du, I¡¯m going to donate a million yuan to the orphanage as an education fund for the children. Any child who studies hard will be rewarded.¡± ¡°No,¡± Ai Tingya stopped him. She already felt bad after taking the profits from the milk tea shop. She did not want to use any more of Luo Feng¡¯s money. Chapter 81 ?81 Ai Tingya¡¯s Background Ai Tingya hurriedly stood up to stop him. ¡°Luo Feng, you¡¯re not allowed to do that!¡± ¡°Ai Tingya is not allowed to speak.¡± Luo Feng pretended to be cold and said in a low voice. In the past, Luo Feng had always been gentle with her. Ai Tingya was not used to his sudden change in attitude and did not know how to respond. She was stunned on the spot and felt a little aggrieved. Luo Feng took the opportunity to say to Dean Du, ¡°Dean, you know that studying is the best way out for the children. With the reward and Tingya as an example, I believe they will definitely work harder than before. I¡¯ve decided to spend a portion of the money on the children every year in the future. This way, Tingya and I will be more motivated.¡± Dean Du really could not refuse hearing Luo Feng¡¯s explanation. Indeed, she hoped that every child would be like Ai Tingya and walk on a good path after living a rough life for more than ten years. ¡°Alright.¡± Dean Du compromised. She walked to the front of the summer vacation and took down a document. ¡°The donor has to leave his name. You have to write it too.¡± Luo Feng picked up his pen and looked at Ai Tingya, who was also sulking. He wrote with a flourish, ¡°Ai Tingya¡¯s family.¡± Dean Du smiled knowingly and specially showed the registration form to Ai Tingya. In the past, Ai Tingya would stomp her feet in embarrassment but she was in a fit of anger now. She pursed her lips and turned to the side. After Luo Feng transferred the money to the orphanage¡¯s account, he realized that there was no cash return. Donating was not an investment and went against Ai Tingya¡¯s wishes. The billionaire became a nine-figure millionaire again. ¡°Alright, Xiaoya, stop throwing a tantrum.¡± Dean Du helped smooth things over. Ai Tingya listened to Dean Du the most. Her lips curled up, but she still nodded obediently. Dean Du¡¯s gaze softened as he stared fixedly at Ai Tingya¡¯s face. ¡°I think it¡¯s time for you to know.¡± ¡°What about?¡± Ai Tingya sensed that the atmosphere was not right. Dean Du said, ¡°It¡¯s about your parents.¡± A buzzing sound rang in Tingya¡¯s mind. Her expression was blank and she did not know how to face it. Luo Feng said, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡± He wanted to give Ai Tingya some privacy. Luo Feng would not deliberately probe unless she took the initiative to tell him. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± Tingya pulled him back, as fragile as a fragile vase. ¡°Stay here with me.¡± She followed Dean Du to the window uneasily and saw her take out an old wooden box from the bedside table. When she opened it, she saw a golden lock and a yellowed newspaper lying in the box. Dean Du took out the golden lock and placed it in Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. ¡°This is what you were wearing around your neck when we found you.¡± The golden lock was heavy, and the word ¡°safety¡± was engraved in the middle. The golden luster had not tarnished after so many years. When Dean Du saw this golden lock, it was like seeing the swaddled child from back then. ¡°18 years ago, there was a car accident on the Crown City Bridge. A small car hit the pier and caused a fire. Fortunately, passersby saw it and saved you and your parents from the car.¡± She started to explain. Ai Tingya subconsciously tightened her grip on Luo Feng¡¯s hand hearing this. ¡°Unfortunately, the two adults couldn¡¯t make it before the ambulance arrived because of their serious injuries,¡± Dean Du recalled. ¡°Later, the fire brigade rushed to the scene to put out the fire. The things in the car were almost burned, and only half of their driver¡¯s licenses were left. There was an ¡®Ai¡¯ on them.¡± At that time, Ai Tingya was still a baby in swaddling clothes. She was actually unharmed after the collision and fire. This meant that her mother in the backseat was protecting her. Due to her mother¡¯s greatness, the local government even published a newspaper to search for Ai Tingya¡¯s relatives. However, they had too little information and could not find them. Later, Ai Tingya stayed in the orphanage. There was also a photo of Ai Tingya when she was young. Ai Tingya trembled as she held the newspaper. Her eyes were blurry with tears as she sobbed. She was afraid of facing this truth, so she might as well not touch it. Ai Tingya knew that she was loved now that she knew that she had parents and that they loved her very much, the golden lock contained their simplest blessings for their child. Luo Feng put his arm around her shoulder and let her lean against his chest. Dean Du said to Luo Feng, ¡°I¡¯ve never been to the scene, but I heard from the firefighters that the car was from a good brand. Moreover, Xiaoya¡¯s original family background should be very good looking at this golden lock. You can take note when you go out to study.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll remember.¡± Luo Feng nodded seriously. ¡°Thank you, Dean Du.¡± ¡°I should be the one thanking you.¡± Dean Du looked at Ai Tingya with heartache. ¡°Thank you for taking care of Xiaoya. The two of you have to treat each other well in the future.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± ¡­ Luo Feng brought Ai Tingya out of Dean Du¡¯s room. After knowing the truth, Ai Tingya seemed to have lost her soul and let Luo Feng lead her forward. Ai Tingya stared fixedly at the door when the cold wind in the courtyard blew past her tears and said, ¡°In the past, I always dreamed that two people would appear at the door one day. They would tell me that they were my parents and bring me home. My memories start from the orphanage. I¡¯ve always felt that it was impossible for me to get lost and wondered if I had been abducted.¡± She squeezed the golden lock, her dry eyes moistening again. ¡°In the end, the truth was even crueler than I thought. They¡¯ll never come.¡± Luo Feng touched her hair. ¡°They will definitely be very proud to see you like this in Heaven.¡± Ai Tingya leaned on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder and whimpered softly. ¡­ Ai Tingya had been staring blankly at the golden lock for a few days ever since she found out about her background. In the past, she would not have thought about it if she did not dare to ask. Now that she knew, she could not ignore it. She would always take out the old newspaper and read it back and forth, as if she could find new clues between the lines. Ai Tingya knew that it was futile, but she could not restrain her thoughts. On this day, there were no customers in the milk tea shop. Ai Tingya sat at the table in a daze again. When she saw a family of three walking hand in hand by the roadside, her eyes followed the others until they turned the corner and were out of sight. Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached when he saw her like this, so he took a cup of the new products from the shop and placed it in front of Ai Tingya. ¡°Thank you.¡± Ai Tingya took a sip and praised indifferently. ¡°It tastes good.¡± Luo Feng held her hand that was holding the milk tea and said, ¡°Tingya, do you still remember our agreement?¡± Now that Ai Tingya¡¯s mind was filled with her family, there was no place for her to contain an agreement. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Come with me.¡± Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya up and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to fulfill my promise.¡± Chapter 82 - 82 Time To Fulfill The Promise 82 Time To Fulfill The Promise Ai Tingya was uninterested and just tugged behind Luo Feng wherever he went. Luo Feng pulled her to the school gate. ¡°I left my things in the shop. Go in first. I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Luo Feng had already disappeared before Ai Tingya could ask where she should wait. She did not want to use her brain. Since he asked her to wait inside, so be it. Anyway, the school was only so big. Luo Feng would definitely be able to find her. During the school summer break, only the students who were third-year students were having extra lessons. ¡°Uncle, can I go in?¡± Tingya walked to the guard and greeted him. Under normal circumstances, the school would not allow students to enter when they were in class. However, the guard knew Ai Tingya and knew that she was the second in the province. He did not stop her and only asked him to sign in before letting her in. ¡°By the way, girl.¡± Ai Tingya walked for a while and heard the guard call her. The guard returned to the guardhouse and took out a small handful of gardenias for her. The white petals were still stained with water droplets. Ai Tingya looked at the guard in surprise. Perhaps it was the first time the uncle had given flowers, his simple face revealed a pure smile as he said, ¡°Someone asked me to pass it to you. He said that he hoped you would always be happy.¡± Ai Tingya did not know much about flowers, but Luo Feng had been studying flower language for a period of time in the past. Ai Tingya glanced at him. She remembered that the flower language of gardenias was joy. Luo Feng must have specially asked the guard to make her happy. ¡°Thank you, Uncle.¡± Ai Tingya took out a flower and gave it to him. ¡°I hope you¡¯ll always be happy too.¡± Ai Tingya continued to walk into the school after sharing her joy. Ai Tingya was a pragmatic girl and felt that flowers, which could only be seen but not eaten, were very expensive consumer goods. She could not understand them. But which girl hadn¡¯t imagined the romantic scene of her boyfriend giving her flowers? She had once imagined countless scenes of Luo Feng giving her flowers. Ai Tingya had seriously thought about it. Perhaps Luo Feng had bought a large bouquet of flowers on a whim one day when he was walking on the street and she felt that it was expensive, so she dissuaded him. Then the two of them might have plucked one on the side of the road heading home. Ai Tingya felt that this scene was more suitable for her. Unexpectedly, it was handed over by the guard. She covered her mouth and laughed. Suddenly, she was stunned. She had not smiled so happily in a long time ever since she found out about her background. Luo Feng really had a magical power that could always make her feel extremely at ease. Ring¡ª The bell rang. The third year students who were in class ran down the stairs one after another. Ai Tingya thought that it should be time for exercise, but she did not expect that the tutoring had to be strictly according to the school schedule. She stood at the side with the flowers and made way for the students. A female classmate in school uniform ran towards Ai Tingya. She looked like Ai Tingya¡¯s junior. She stared at Ai Tingya with wide eyes and smiled. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ai Tingya subconsciously touched her face. There was nothing strange about her, right? The female classmate magically took out a lily from behind her back and handed it to Ai Tingya. ¡°Ah¡­ Thank you.¡± The female classmate ran away with envy in her eyes before Ai Tingya could ask if it was arranged by Luo Feng. Immediately after, more students gave her flowers. One from each of them. There were lilies, sunflowers, carnations, and so on. It was as if they had moved the flower shop over. After a while, Ai Tingya was almost drowned by the flowers. She almost couldn¡¯t hold them all with her thin arms. Ai Tingya heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no more students behind. At this moment, a teacher walked over with a flower basket and helped Ai Tingya put the flowers in them. ¡°Thank you, Teacher.¡± Ai Tingya was both happy and shy. Why had Luo Feng prepared such a special surprise? She was already very satisfied at this point and really could not take anything else. ¡°Student Ai, let¡¯s go to the field to take a look,¡± the young female teacher invited with a hint of envy on her face. She helped her carry a portion of the flowers and walked towards the field without waiting for Ai Tingya¡¯s reply. Ai Tingya was at a loss and could not embarrass her teacher. She followed obediently. There were a few huge signs on the field with a huge box in the middle. Tingya roughly estimated that the box was about the same size as her. There were different drawings on the four sides of the box. Ai Tingya was standing too far away to see what was being drawn. The teacher patted her and said, ¡°What are you waiting for? Go over quickly.¡± Ai Tingya was a little excited as she stared fixedly at the box. She pushed aside the surrounding students and walked over. The first thing she saw was a purple sweater. ¡°This is my first official gift to you.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s voice sounded on the radio. ¡°Do you remember?¡± Tears welled up in Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes. She was so happy that she was about to cry. She nodded vigorously. The students surrounding her seemed to have rehearsed it long ago. They pulled Ai Tingya towards the second painting. Two cartoon characters were studying together. The girl was reading seriously while the boy was looking at the girl. ¡°You inspired me to achieve my current achievements,¡± Luo Feng introduced. ¡°But you might not know this. My gaze was always on you when we were together. I studied very seriously in private just so I can peek at you without any distractions.¡± ¡°Wow! So romantic!¡± The students surrounding Ai Tingya sighed enviously. When would he be able to have such a romance! The next painting was also of two cartoon characters. The girl was dancing on the stage with her eyes closed, enjoying the stage very much. The boy was singing with her under the stage, looking very compatible. ¡°Thinking back to the past, I keep feeling that there¡¯s regret in the sweetness. I also want to use my way to support the stage you like. Please give me this chance in the future,¡± Luo Feng continued. The next painting was of a girl standing on the podium, blushing as she announced loudly. Ai Tingya knew that this was her confession to Luo Feng on stage. ¡°The boy should be the one confessing. Now, I want to fulfill this promise.¡± Luo Feng, whose voice was only heard previously, was standing on the stage. He held the microphone and walked through the crowd to look at Ai Tingya. He said solemnly, ¡°Tingya, are you willing to be my girlfriend and be with me forever? No illness or disaster can separate us. Are you willing?¡± Everyone below the stage turned to look at Ai Tingya. Tears welled up in Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes as she whispered, ¡°I¡¯m willing.¡± The students looked very anxious and encouraged her. ¡°Senior, all the best!¡± ¡°Senior, speak up!¡± ¡°Senior, do you need us to help you shout?¡± How could Luo Feng bear to see Ai Tingya shout at the top of her lungs? He pointed at the box and said, ¡°If you¡¯re willing, please remove the red line on the box.¡± Ai Tingya looked sideways. Indeed, there was a red rope hanging by the side with a red rose tied to the bottom. ¡°I¡¯m willing,¡± Ai Tingya muttered, hoping that Luo Feng could hear her. Then, she pulled hard right on the heels of that. Bang! The salute cannons bloomed in the air, and colorful strips fell one after another, landing on the shoulders and heads of the people around them. The colorful balloons swayed in the wind and flew higher and higher. ¡°Seniors, be happy always!¡± The students said in unison and gave their sincerest blessings. Chapter 83 - 83 Everyones Blessing 83 Everyone¡¯s Blessing Luo Feng jumped down from the stage and ran to Ai Tingya¡¯s side under the sunlight. ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Luo Feng brushed Ai Tingya¡¯s ear hair and held her face tenderly. Ai Tingya held a large bouquet of flowers and couldn¡¯t reach out to hug Luo Feng even if she wanted to. She cried so hard that she couldn¡¯t speak. She could only shake her head repeatedly, wanting to express how happy she was at this moment. ¡°I¡¯m really¡­ really¡­ grateful¡­¡± Ai Tingya cried until she was out of breath. The surrounding students were so anxious that they wanted to be her mouth. ¡°I know, I know.¡± Luo Feng hugged Ai Tingya and protected the back of her head with his hand. He patted her back with heartache, ¡°We still have a lot of time. I¡¯ll listen to you slowly. You can tell me for the rest of your life.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Ai Tingya nodded solemnly. ¡°We want to listen in too!¡± A group of people suddenly said sourly. Ai Tingya wiped her tears and saw Xiao Fei, Lei Jin, and Teacher Yu. There were also her classmates behind them. ¡°We drew the pictures together!¡± The students in the class scrambled to claim their masterpieces. ¡°Tingya, you don¡¯t know how difficult it is to serve Luo Feng. He¡¯s not sloppy at all for you.¡± ¡°Luo Feng and I thought of the speech together!¡± Xiao Fei giggled. ¡°Luo Feng and I went to buy the bouquet together and emptied out all the flower shops from the surrounding area.¡± Lei Jin rubbed his nose. ¡°Luo Feng and I went to steal¡­ borrow the keys to the broadcasting room. Let¡¯s hurry up and return them!¡± Teacher Yu said guiltily. She laughed as she spoke. ¡°Damn it! I feel very happy just looking at it.¡± ¡°You have to be happy. My life may not be good, but the couple I support have to be in bliss!¡± ¡°What a great thing to be picked up by Luo Feng, boohoo, I¡¯ve not even confessed to any girl before!¡± Everyone sighed with emotion, but they were very happy for the two of them. They had been classmates for three years after all. They knew how difficult it had been for Ai Tingya. The hardships had finally come to an end. At the end of the crowd, Xing Miaomiao looked at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya with a complicated expression. She sighed sadly. She might have been standing beside Luo Feng now if she hadn¡¯t been so pretentious. However, she was not jealous of Ai Tingya at all. Xing Miaomiao admitted from the bottom of her heart that she was indeed not as outstanding as Ai Tingya, nor was she worthy of the current Luo Feng after so many things had happened. After the commotion, everyone bade farewell reluctantly. The third-year students continued to go back to their books and fight for a bright future. Teacher Yu went to return the keys, and Xiao Fei went to the milk tea shop to help. His classmates also went home after exchanging pleasantries. Ai Tingya held a large bouquet of flowers and walked home hand in hand with Luo Fengshu. Her face was filled with happiness. The passersby turned around one after another. There were also many young couples who revealed envious gazes when they saw such an eye-catching bouquet. ¡°Look at her boyfriend! It feels like it will kill you to send me a flower!¡± ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. I want it too.¡± ¡°It¡¯ll cost thousands. I¡¯ve already spent my salary. How about next month?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Ai Tingya could not help but laugh when she heard the small commotions flying past her ears. Her hands were sore from hugging these flowers. She felt like she had received all the flowers from the past decade. ¡°I¡¯m so embarrassed that everyone is looking at me,¡± Ai Tingya said with a smile. ¡°Let them look on, my wife is so beautiful, everyone is envious of me¡± Luo Feng joked. The couple walked in front sweetly with their eyes filled with longing. Lei Jin, who was following behind, thought to himself that he was really enchanted. He actually wanted to go home with them. He was about to vomit from eating dog food. ¡°Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something on. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Lei Jin could not take it anymore and decided to take a taxi home. ¡°Oh, then I won¡¯t send you off.¡± ¡°Alright, see you later.¡± Lei Jin waved his hand and realized that the two of them had already walked forward hand in hand. They really did not take him seriously at all. He had really forgotten his brother after having a wife. Lei Jin got into the taxi angrily and told the driver to drive faster so that he wouldn¡¯t be accidentally injured by the young couple again. ¡­ Luo Feng and Ai Tingya followed the familiar path home. ¡°What kind of car do you like? We¡¯ll definitely buy a means of transportation when we go to university.¡± Luo Feng looked at the sky and calculated. ¡°Anything is fine. I like whatever you buy.¡± Ai Tingya was in a good mood today. She was happy no matter what Luo Feng said. ¡°We really have to buy a car. I think Lei Jin would be home by now if he took a taxi.¡± Luo Feng stared ahead. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t understand why Luo Feng was talking about Lei Jin again. She looked up and realized that Lei Jin was indeed standing at the intersection in front of them, rubbing his hands non-stop. He felt very excited. The two of them walked forward. ¡°What are you doing here? Why aren¡¯t you going home?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. Lei Jin¡¯s house was opposite the intersection, but from the looks of it, he seemed to have been standing there for a while. ¡°Come with me, Luo Feng, you¡¯re famous now!¡± Lei Jin brought the two of them home without any explanation, not forgetting to show Luo Feng his new computer. It was bought by Lei Jin¡¯s mother to reward him for getting into a good university. Lei Jin cherished it very much. The entire room was in a mess while the computer table was spotless. ¡°Quickly take a look.¡± Lei Jin opened a video. ¡°I wanted to go home and play some games. I saw the homepage behind this video when I was looking for a guide!¡± He explained while Luo Feng was watching the video. Luo Feng opened the video and realized that it was a highlight of the college entrance examination interview. First, he was interviewed alone. Then, Ai Tingya was interviewed. Then, he entered the frame. Finally, the advertisement he had advertised was not cut out when he was congratulated as the top scholar. Crown City TV Station had really broadcasted it for free! ¡°Look at the number of views. It¡¯s about to exceed 100,000!¡± Lei Jin pointed excitedly at the bottom left corner of the video. The numbers on the thumb mark were still stacking. Tens of thousands of people were watching it online at the same time. In the era of information technology, this was almost comparable to the spread rate of television. There were also netizens¡¯ comments below. ¡°I¡¯m kneeling for Big Brother!¡± ¡°I thought he was a weakling, but he¡¯s actually a Saiyan!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the top scorer of our province¡¯s college entrance examination. He¡¯s really too bold to say the first two paragraphs. Hahahahaha.¡± ¡°Luo Feng, you¡¯re going to be famous!¡± Lei Jin rubbed his palms together excitedly, as if Luo Feng could debut tomorrow. Luo Feng didn¡¯t feel anything special. In this era, the Internet wasn¡¯t developed yet and hadn¡¯t formed a mature industrial chain. Most netizens were just watching for fun online and rarely spent money. He still had to wait more than ten years before the live broadcast started. He was not interested in becoming an internet celebrity unless he could earn money. Luo Feng felt bored. He supported his chin with one hand and ran his fingers along the roller. ¡°Wait!¡± Ai Tingya stopped him and pointed at a comment that was quickly moving forward. [Good Me Milk Tea Shop at the entrance. Yes, I know it. I heard the surrounding residents say that drinking it can improve your results.] ??? The rumors that had almost been forgotten were brought up again. Many people below were asking for the exact address. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya both turned to look at Lei Jin and realized that a huge battle was about to happen! Chapter 84 - 84 A Lie Told A Thousand Times Would Become The Truth 84 A Lie Told A Thousand Times Would Become The Truth People kept asking for the address of the milk tea shop under the comments. At the same time, an accurate address was pinned at the top. The replies below were all: ¡°The previous poster is a good person. A good person will have a safe life.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had a premonition that something was wrong, as if something similar had happened before. The two of them turned back to look at Lei Jin¡¯s confused face. ¡°Why are you two looking at me?¡± Lei Jin scratched his head, vaguely feeling that things were not simple. ¡°Remember you said that drinking our milk tea can increase your concentration?¡± Luo Feng said. Lei Jin thought for a moment and said, ¡°That seems to be the case. I remember that you guys earned a lot of money back then. Hahahaha, I didn¡¯t mean it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not praising you.¡± Luo Feng thought to himself, ¡°The rumors are getting more and more far-fetched!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s phone suddenly rang as if to echo his words. Luo Feng looked at the number and his heart tightened¡ª It was the number to the landline in the shop. He heard the commotion in the background as soon as he picked up the call. Xiao Fei shouted at the top of her lungs, ¡°Luo Feng! Help! There are suddenly so many customers in the shop! We can¡¯t handle it at all! The shop manager went to the city again! There are still more than 100 orders that haven¡¯t been completed!¡± The sound of people ordering milk tea was almost overwhelming Xiao Fei¡¯s voice. Seeing this, Ai Tingya stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go back and help!¡± No sweet-nothings could compare to the shop¡¯s business. Luo Feng looked at Lei Jin and said, ¡°Come with us.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Lei Jin pointed at himself. ¡°Me? But I¡¯ve never made milk tea before. I can¡¯t help, right? Hahaha, go ahead. I¡¯ll support you mentally.¡± ¡°You can also help greet the guests!¡± Luo Feng had been doing business for so long, so he naturally understood that customers came first. How could he not have a person welcoming guests? The familiar scene appeared again when the three of them took a taxi to the milk tea shop. There were densely packed people standing from the sidewalk at the entrance to the operating table in the shop. The surrounding bosses came out to watch the crowd and looked at so many customers enviously. Some passersby found it novel and walked over to ask. Then, they joined the buying army. They could see Xiao Fei¡¯s face that was about to cry from fear through the glass. She and the other staff were so busy that their feet nearly did not touch the ground. Luo Feng didn¡¯t expect to welcome the peak of his business at this time, so he wasn¡¯t prepared. ¡°Quick, go in and help!¡± Ai Tingya lowered her head and went in, but it was crowded. She was squeezed out after taking two steps. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Luo Feng supported her. Ai Tingya shook her head and looked at Xiao Fei angrily. At this moment, a white-haired, energetic old lady noticed Luo Feng. She sized him up and pulled Luo Feng in surprise: ¡°Are you this year¡¯s top scholar? I¡¯ve seen you on TV!¡± As soon as she said this, the people who were buying milk tea in front all turned around and looked at Luo Feng, making Luo Feng nervous. The old lady pulled Luo Feng and continued, ¡°The top scholar of the college entrance examination, can you give me an autograph? I want to give it to my grandson.¡± The others were also a little tempted. ¡°Sure! We¡¯ll give out the top scholar¡¯s autograph with every purchase of a cup of milk tea. He¡¯ll sign anything but white paper!¡± Ai Tingya suddenly said. Luo Feng¡¯s eyes widened as he pulled her and whispered, ¡°What are you doing? There are so many people, won¡¯t my hand break?¡± Ai Tingya clasped her hands together and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, darling. We can relieve some pressure this way. We¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Before Ai Tingya could finish speaking, the army that wanted an autograph had already surged forward. Ai Tingya took this opportunity to crawl in and support Xiao Fei. Lei Jin was like a bodyguard, maintaining order at the scene to prevent anyone from being pushed down. Luo Feng didn¡¯t even have time to savor the ¡°darling¡± before he was drowned in the crowd. He held his pen and didn¡¯t know what to do. ¡­ At the same time, in a luxurious courtyard house in the suburbs of Lidian City. An old man with white hair and a white beard sat under the eaves sun, and the rattan recliner creaked. At this moment, Professor Jing pushed open the door and sat down beside the old man. He picked up the tea on the stone table and poured himself a cup. The old man closed his eyes and did not speak, as if he was asleep. ¡°Old Ai, look what I brought you,¡± Professor Jing said happily. The old man¡¯s name was Ai Zhaojiang. He was Professor Jing¡¯s former colleague. He had taught at Oxford for many years and published countless papers. He had taught students from all walks of life. Ai Zhaojiang ignored Professor Jing and changed his position. Professor Jing took out his phone and followed him to the other side. He waved it and said, ¡°Let me show you something good.¡± Ai Zhaojiang opened one eye curiously and saw a girl talking on the screen. She was beautiful and spoke appropriately and gently. Seeing this, Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. He got up and snatched the phone. ¡°She looks¡­ Why does she look so much like Heng¡¯er?¡± He said in disbelief. Ai Heng was Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s only son. He ran away from home many years ago and there was no news of him after that. Ai Zhaojiang asked around, but there was no result. ¡°They look alike, right! I also felt that she looked a little familiar when I first saw this girl. Later, I thought about it and realized that she was carved from the same mold as your child,¡± Professor Jing said happily as he slapped his legs. ¡°Where did you get this video?¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s hands trembled slightly. ¡°It¡¯s a live interview for the college entrance examination in Crown City. I asked a student to save it for me.¡± Professor Jing patted his old friend¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I was the one who persuaded this child to enter our school. She¡¯s an outstanding child, second in the province and will be coming here to study soon.¡± Ai Zhaojiang said excitedly, ¡°Have you seen her in person? Is she doing well? Where is she staying now? Have you asked about her parents?¡± Professor Jing sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen her information. This child grew up in an orphanage. It seems that her parents had already¡­ Sigh, I¡¯ll investigate the details later.¡± Ai Zhaojiang also shook his head helplessly, not surprised by this result. People always left traces when they were alive. He had searched for so many years but had not found any news of his son. He was most likely long dead. He did not dare to ask for too much at his age. It was already a great fortune to be able to find his granddaughter. ¡°An orphanage,¡± Ai Zhaojiang repeated, his heart aching. ¡°Old Ai, don¡¯t be sad. I¡¯ve looked into it briefly. The Dean is a good person even though Ai Tingya grew up in the orphanage. Moreover, she¡¯s also very hardworking. Look, she¡¯s even on the television.¡± Professor Jing comforted him. ¡°Her surname is Ai?¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s eyes lit up. Professor Jing nodded. ¡°Yes, it seems that her parents left something behind to confirm this child¡¯s surname.¡± ¡°Tingya¡­ Tingya!¡± Ai Chaojiang repeated the name twice. ¡°Good name, what a good name!¡± It was a joyous occasion to have regained what he had lost. Ai Zhaojiang stood up excitedly, but he did not know what to do first. After calming down for a while, he asked, ¡°Speaking of which, does she have a boyfriend?¡± Professor Jing smiled and pulled the progress bar to the front, playing Luo Feng¡¯s interview video. Chapter 85 - 85 Luo Feng, To Be Observed 85 Luo Feng, To Be Observed In this era, mobile phones were not touch-controlled big screens. The buttons alone took up more than half of the screen. The screen was not very big and was even a little small for someone Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s age. He put on his reading glasses and focused on the display. He still felt a little blurry and couldn¡¯t see what Luo Feng looked like. Professor Jing turned the volume up to the maximum. The conversation between Luo Feng and the reporter sounded in the courtyard. The more he listened, the uglier Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s expression became. This kid¡¯s tongue was sharp and was not humble at all. He was far from what he had imagined! ¡°What does this Luo Feng¡¯s family do?¡± Ai Zhaojiang asked. ¡°An ordinary family.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Ai Zhaojiang blew at his beard in disdain. ¡°You glib-tongued brat. How can such a family be worthy of my granddaughter!¡± He wouldn¡¯t think that Luo Feng looked so awesome in front of the camera. Ai Zhaojiang had seen at least 800 top scholars after all. In the past, he wouldn¡¯t bring anyone who wasn¡¯t the top scholar when he was involved in academics. And in his opinion, Luo Feng¡¯s family was too ordinary, so there was no need to bother about him. It wasn¡¯t that Ai Chaojiang looked down on poor students, but he just wanted to give his granddaughter the best. When Professor Jing heard this, he stood up for Luo Feng and said, ¡°Don¡¯t despise him. Your granddaughter was still an orphan with no background before this. Luo Feng simply likes her. If Ai Tingya really grew up by your side, who knows how many people with impure motives she would meet.¡± Ai Zhaojiang thought about it and agreed, but he still did not show mercy. ¡°As her grandfather, I have to observe him carefully!¡± Professor Jing continued, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t if I were you. Before I came to look for you, I understood that Ai Tingya didn¡¯t have a good life in the past. She only became cheerful after meeting Luo Feng and even took the initiative to confess to Luo Feng in front of the entire school. Luo Feng did what he said, to become the top scholar of the college entrance examination, I think this young man is quite good.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Ai Zhaojiang still did not want to admit it. His biological granddaughter had not even stayed by his side for a few years before she was snatched away by someone else. ¡°Old Ai, you should be more tactful. Your granddaughter really likes Luo Feng after all, and I heard that the two of them even opened a milk tea shop together!¡± Professor Jing pulled the video progress bar to the back, which happened to be the segment where Luo Feng advertised after all. ¡°Hahahaha!¡± He still found it funny no matter how many times he looked at it. ¡°Look at how smart this kid is. He even dares to ride on the popularity of the provincial station.¡± Ai Zhaojiang couldn¡¯t pull his face down, so he only opened his eyes slightly to take a look. He had no objections to Luo Feng himself, but he couldn¡¯t stand it when he thought about how Luo Feng was his granddaughter¡¯s boyfriend. Since Professor Jing dragged Luo Feng to his school, he will definitely help him if he can. He thinks highly of Luo Feng after all. ¡°Old Ai, don¡¯t be so wilful. Think about it carefully. Your granddaughter has been wandering outside for 18 years. You haven¡¯t been with her as long as Luo Feng has. Do you think she can accept it immediately? You will still need Luo Feng to put in a good word for you, right?¡± Professor Jing chuckled. Ai Zhaojiang blushed and could only look away stubbornly. He actually felt that Professor Jing was right. He actually had to build a good relationship with the kid who snatched his granddaughter! ¡°Hmph, in your dreams. I want to test that kid first. I hope he won¡¯t disappoint me. Otherwise, I won¡¯t hand my granddaughter over to him!¡± This was Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s final stubbornness! ¡°Alright, alright. Take your time to think about it. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Professor Jing poured a cup of tea and patted his butt after drinking it. ¡°Wait¡­¡± Ai Chaojiang stopped him. He tilted his face and did not speak for a long time. Professor Jing asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ai Zhaojiang slowly said after enduring for a long time. ¡°That video¡­ Give me a copy too¡­¡± Professor Jing was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, ¡°Why are you so awkward? I don¡¯t know how to do it either. I¡¯ll get my student to burn it into a disc and send it to you later.¡± ¡°Hurry up,¡± Ai Zhaojiang said. ¡°Just you wait.¡± Professor Jing waved his hand. The door was pushed open and closed. The courtyard house regained its peace. Ai Chaojiang let out a long sigh. He stopped drinking tea and basking in the sun. He stared blankly beside him for a moment. He was old and could barely remember the time that had passed. This Osmanthus Fragrans tree had been planted by his son when he left home. It was already as tall as a pavilion. Every autumn, the yellow osmanthus trees emitted a delicate fragrance, making his heart ache. ¡°It¡¯s been 18 years.¡± Ai Chaojiang¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°You¡¯re already 18 years old, but Grandpa hasn¡¯t seen you yet.¡± ¡­ Good Me Milk Tea Shop in Crown City. Luo Feng handed the last cup of milk tea to the customer. Lei Jin said respectfully, ¡°Take care, welcome again next time!¡± Xiao Fei quickly hung up the ¡°Closed¡± sign. A young female customer had already stepped into the shop before the new customers could arrive. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the sign. ¡°It¡¯s so early, and you¡¯re closing?¡± Luo Feng was so tired that his back was aching. He forced himself to explain, ¡°Business was too good today, so we ran out of raw materials.¡± The female customer slapped her boyfriend beside her and complained, ¡°I told you to come early, but you insisted that there were too many people and you didn¡¯t want to queue. Look, everything is sold out!¡± Her boyfriend was also very innocent. How could he have expected this outcome? He curled up into a ball and did not dare to speak. Luo Feng took a voucher and handed it to the female customer, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we didn¡¯t expect business to be so good today and didn¡¯t prepare enough materials. I¡¯ll give you a coupon. Our ingredients will be in place tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Really!¡± The female customer happily took the coupon. ¡°Then I¡¯ll come again tomorrow. Thank you.¡± After sending the two guests off, Luo Feng could finally sit down and rest. Everyone was exhausted and sprawled on the table, unable to speak. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m going to see my father¡­¡± Lei Jin lay on the table and said weakly. ¡°What did Uncle Lei say?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°He told me not to choose an advertising major. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be an easy target to be complained about fake publicity.¡± ¡°Uncle Lei is right, but things will definitely go smoothly if you¡¯re in the media industry.¡± Luo Feng laughed it off. Their milk tea shop welcomed two peak sales just because of a few words from Lei Jin. If business could be so good every day¡­ Forget it, it was too tiring. ¡°Everyone has worked hard today. The ingredients will arrive tomorrow morning. Xiao Fei, remember to remind your friends who are changing shifts¡± Luo Feng arranged. ¡°Okay!¡± Everyone replied weakly. He looked back at the cash register, which was about to burst with money, and said, ¡°Do you want to count the money today?¡± ¡°No!¡± Everyone said in unison. ¡°We¡¯re so tired. Please, let¡¯s continue tomorrow instead.¡± Chapter 86 - 86 From Being Scolded To Being Praised, All You Need Is To Gift A Car 86 From Being Scolded To Being Praised, All You Need Is To Gift A Car Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei were so tired that they couldn¡¯t even straighten their backs. It was rare for them not to object to the taxi Luo Feng hired for them. They sat in it and said goodbye before returning to the orphanage. Luo Feng originally planned to go home with Lei Jin, but he received a call halfway. He first sent Lei Jin to his house and then asked the taxi driver to turn around and go to another place. ¡°Why isn¡¯t the brat back yet?¡± Mother Luo crossed her arms and stood on the balcony. ¡°He said he¡¯s bringing Tingya back for dinner tonight. I¡¯ve been preparing for it all afternoon! Did he forget that he has parents at home?¡± Father Luo glanced at the pots and pans that filled the kitchen stove. There were two layers of side dishes alone. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost 6:30 pm. It was long past the time for dinner at home. No wonder Mother Luo stood on the balcony like a stone for half an hour. Click¡ª The door lock rang, but Mother Luo didn¡¯t hear it. Father Luo knew that his son was back and didn¡¯t have time to put down the newspaper. He quickly went to inform Luo Feng to watch his words. ¡°Why are you back alone?¡± Father Luo saw that only Luo Feng was standing at the door, ¡°Where¡¯s Xiao Ai? Your mother is still waiting for you to eat!¡± Luo Feng was speechless. ¡°Why don¡¯t you care about your son? Tingya was too tired today, so she went back to the orphanage first.¡± ¡°Aiya, then your mom is going to get angry¡± Father Luo said regretfully, Luo Feng will definitely be beaten up tonight! Only then did Luo Feng remember that he was supposed to bring Ai Tingya home for a gathering today. When he passed by the kitchen and saw the dishes, he knew that his mother must have been busy all afternoon. ¡°Quickly go say something nice to your mother.¡± Father Luo pushed Luo Feng. Unexpectedly, not only did Luo Feng not feel any danger, he raised his hand and pointed. ¡°Dad, go!¡± Father Luo choked. Not only did this kid return late today, but he also dared to command me around! Don¡¯t think that you can be lawless just because you¡¯re the top scorer. You get all gleeful if I don¡¯t hit you for three days! Father Luo looked around and realized that the belt was the most pleasing to the eye. He had to teach this kid a lesson! ¡°Sit there!¡± Father Luo said sternly. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng calmly took out a car key from his pocket and waved it in front of Father Luo. The key was like a hypnotic pocket watch. It shook Father Luo into a daze in a few moves. He swallowed and said, ¡°This isn¡¯t a model, right?¡± Luo Feng pointed at the balcony, gesturing for Father Luo to take a look. Father Luo rushed to the balcony and squeezed his way past Mother Luo without another word. He heard a brand new Lincoln sedan outside. The temporary driver in a suit swept away the dust on the roof and smiled and bowed to Luo Feng¡¯s window before leaving. ¡°Son, is this really our car?¡± Father Luo was drooling. Luo Feng placed the car key in Father Luo¡¯s hand: ¡°Dad! Let¡¯s go out and try!¡± ¡°Aiyo, haha!¡± Father Luo ran out happily with it. He touched the engine lovingly with both hands and exclaimed repeatedly. He got into the car and turned the key. He was so happy that he almost cheered when he heard the rumbling engine. Uncle Ge, who was walking, saw this scene and greeted, ¡°Old Luo, is this yours?¡± ¡°My son bought it for me!¡± Father Luo¡¯s face lit up, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the back of his head. Uncle Ge widened his eyes in surprise and kept giving him a thumbs up: ¡°Impressive, impressive! Your Luo Feng is too promising¡± Coincidentally, Luo Feng bumped into Father Luo, who was glowing with health when he was pulling his mother out to see the car. ¡°Son, how much did this car cost?¡± Father Luo asked in front of Uncle Ge as if he was shocked. Luo Feng said calmly, ¡°About 200,000 yuan after all the procedures are completed.¡± This time, not only Uncle Ge, but Father Luo was also shocked! Most of the people in their neighborhood worked in the same factory. They had known each other for more than ten years and had a rough understanding of each other¡¯s family situation. The combined salary of Mr. and Mrs. Luo was about 5,000 yuan a month. In this era of slow economic development, it was already considered above average. Some people in the neighborhood could not compare to them. For working-class people, 200,000 yuan would have to be saved for four years without eating, drinking, or spending. Every time Father Luo wanted to buy a car, he would give up when he saw the pitiful amount of savings he had at home. ¡°Son, where did you get so much money?¡± Father Luo carefully closed the car door, feeling a little afraid. Even though the money that Luo Feng invested in and returned was clear on the books, it was unclear in front of his parents. Therefore, even though he was a millionaire previously, he didn¡¯t dare to add anything big to his family. It was different now. He had a milk tea shop with very good business and didn¡¯t have to think about how to explain the source of the money. ¡°I earned it from the milk tea shop. Otherwise, where else would it come from?¡± Luo Feng said confidently. ¡°Is it that profitable?¡± Mother Luo was surprised. How could a small drink be so powerful? It had only been open for a short time, but it could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan? The couple did not have much business acumen and found it unbelievable. Luo Feng was too good at fooling people in this aspect. ¡°Of course, stress in the third year of high school is very high. It¡¯s already a consensus for the students to relax after class. Moreover, business is booming every day with Tingya and me as the signboard. I sold all the ingredients in the shop today, so I returned home so late.¡± Father Luo burst into tears. He originally thought that he would have to work hard to accumulate enough money for Luo Feng¡¯s university tuition fees and give him money to marry a wife. Now that the matter had been perfectly resolved, not only could he retire in advance, he could also live a rich life by relying on food! Why did he encounter such a good thing?! ¡°Good son! Good son!¡± Father Luo was so touched that tears streamed down his face. ¡°You¡¯ve really made a name for yourself. I¡¯m really proud of you!¡± Father Luo hugged Luo Feng for a long time, he was so happy that he was incoherent. Mother Luo¡¯s eyes were also filled with tears. When Uncle Ge, the neighbor, saw this, he was also touched to the point of tears. He was very envious of the Luo couple. Why, there really was a golden phoenix flying out of the henhouse! ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s go in and eat! I¡¯ve been hungry for a long time¡± Luo Feng held his mother with his left hand and his father with his right. The family of three sat together for a long time and happily ate a sumptuous dinner. After eating and drinking their fill, Luo Feng and Father Luo sat on the sofa watching TV while Mother Luo cleaned up in the kitchen. The ceramic bowls clanged as if there was a manic ceramic bowl band in the kitchen. The sound was so loud that it drowned out the volume of the television. His many years of life experience told Father Luo that this matter was not simple! ¡°Son, go to the kitchen and see your mother. She seems very unhappy,¡± Father Luo egged him on. ¡°Father, go.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s aura was very strong. The father and son looked at each other, neither moving their butts. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mom? Weren¡¯t you eating happily just now? Why are you suddenly unhappy? Did you have too many bowls?¡± ¡°No, according to my years of experience, your mother is most likely jealous!¡± Chapter 87 - 87 Must You Wear The Few Catties Of Gold Ornaments Out? 87 Must You Wear The Few Catties Of Gold Ornaments Out? ¡°Your mother must be jealous!¡± Father Luo was very sure of his judgment. They had been husband and wife for many years after all. With just a look from his wife, Father Luo could immediately read both the surface and deep meaning. He could also resolve it perfectly before his wife got angry. He continued to analyze, ¡°Listen carefully to the pattern of the bowl¡¯s collision. Isn¡¯t it rough with a hint of caution? The volume of this sound is just enough to express your anger. Let us hear the anomaly without causing any harm to the bowl itself!¡± Luo Feng didn¡¯t understand, but he felt that it was awesome. He nodded blankly. ¡°So that¡¯s what it means.¡± Father Luo said confidently, ¡°Your mother must be jealous of me. You bought me such a big gift but she didn¡¯t have anything. It must be a little unfair. Speaking of which, have you prepared something for your mother?¡± Father Luo estimated that Luo Feng had spent most of his money on a 200,000 yuan car. On one hand, he was a little happy about his son¡¯s preference, but on the other hand, he was worried that his wife would be sad. Hence, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. ¡°Do you have no money? I¡¯ll sponsor you.¡± Luo Feng said suspiciously, ¡°Don¡¯t you give all your money to Mom every month? Where did you get the money?¡± ¡°All mature men have a small stash. Don¡¯t tell your mother.¡± Mr. Luo lowered his voice and said mysteriously. How could Luo Feng bear to use the money his father dug out from between his teeth? ¡°Forget it, keep the money. The gift I bought will be here soon.¡± Father Luo looked out of the window suspiciously. It was already dark. Other than Santa Claus, who else would send gifts to his door at night? ¡­ In the kitchen. Mother Luo faced the bowls in the sink and reached into the water like she was practicing Iron Palm. She stirred the bowls and chopsticks that were soaked in water as if she had a grudge against the bowls. ¡°Little brat, you don¡¯t think about me at all!¡± Mother Luo muttered like a pufferfish, her stomach filled with anger. She was originally very happy, thinking that she would be able to drive to work tomorrow. She could already imagine the envious gazes of her sisters who were dancing square dance together. However, Mother Luo came back to her senses after dinner, when she cleared the table and saw father and son chatting and watching television. Why weren¡¯t there any gifts for her?! Not only that, but she also had to serve the two of them. Was it easy for her? There should at least be some show of appreciation even if she didn¡¯t say anything. It wasn¡¯t like she wanted something that was worth hundreds of thousands! She doted on this son for nothing! The more Mother Luo thought about it, the angrier she became. She stirred the bowl even harder, almost catching up to the washing machine. Ding dong¡ª At this moment, the doorbell rang. Luo Feng was the first to run to the door. When he opened the door, he saw a man and a woman. They were dressed appropriately in business attire and were smiling at Luo Feng. ¡°Hello, are you Mr. Luo Feng?¡± The woman¡¯s voice was very gentle. ¡°I am.¡± ¡°Hello, this is the set you have customized. Please check it.¡± The woman handed over the red paper bag with both hands. The golden auspicious bag looked very high-end. Luo Feng weighed it. ¡°No need. I trust your shop.¡± ¡°Thank you for your trust, please sign over.¡± The woman took out a signed receipt from Long Feng Xiang Jewelry. After Luo Feng signed it, the two of them bowed 90 degrees. ¡°Thank you for patronizing us. I wish you a happy life. Goodbye.¡± Luo Feng really liked their efficient and capable methods. It really saved him a lot of trouble. After sending the two of them off, he turned with the bag and saw Mother Luo sticking her head out of the kitchen. Mother Luo glared at him resentfully as soon as their eyes met before returning to the kitchen. When Father Luo saw this, he smiled helplessly. Luo Feng carried the bag into the kitchen and said, ¡°Mom, let me show you something.¡± Mother Luo was delighted, but she did not want to make it so obvious. She continued to wash her bowl and pretended not to hear. ¡°Mom, you really don¡¯t want to take a look?¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°What¡¯s there to see?¡± Mother Luo snapped. ¡°Don¡¯t block me here. Get out, get out.¡± Luo Feng opened the box seeing how proud his mother was. Mother Luo Luo felt a golden light behind her, as if she had entered the world of Buddha. Then, a two-finger-wide bracelet rolled to her feet. ¡°Ah!¡± Mother Luo screamed in shock. She was even more excited than when she saw the Buddha appear. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be so heavy. I didn¡¯t hold it properly.¡± Luo Feng apologized as he picked it up. This custom-made thing was a little heavy, so he didn¡¯t hold it properly. ¡°Son, get out of the way. Let me do this kind of tiring work!¡± Mother Luo quickly wiped the water off her hands and picked up the big golden bracelet. The weight almost made her cry. ¡°How heavy is this bracelet?¡± Mother Luo asked. ¡°About one catty.¡± Luo Feng replied. ¡°It¡¯s very expensive now, right? How much is a gram?¡± ¡°It¡¯s pure gold. I didn¡¯t bargain since there was a discount the more I bought.¡± Mother Luo held the bracelet and checked repeatedly to see if it was broken or scratched. She had to bargain for half an hour to buy a catty of vegetables, but her son actually bought a catty of gold without bargaining! She pinched the meat on her face hard to confirm that she was not dreaming. Luo Feng picked up the other gold jewelry that fell, taking advantage of the time his mother took to cherish the bracelet. The earrings, necklace, ring, pendant, and bracelet were all custom-made into one set. Luo Feng knew that his mother was a practical person, so the amount of gold he gave her was also worth their weight. The value of this set of gold jewelry as a collection was far more valuable than wearing it out because it was a little heavy. ¡°Mom, this is for you. You¡¯ve worked hard all these years,¡± smiled Luo Feng. Mother Luo felt a lump in her throat, but she suddenly remembered that this was not the time to cry. She rushed into the living room with the box and showed her new gift to her husband. Luo Feng smiled helplessly and walked out of the kitchen. ¡°Mom, these things are a little heavy, especially the earrings. Your ears might not be able to withstand it, you¡­¡± The golden light shining from her body almost blinded Luo Feng¡¯s eyes before he even finished speaking. She used her actions to tell him that his mother was omnipotent! She really hung a few catties of gold on herself! ¡°Xiao Tian, let¡¯s go to the park to square dance tomorrow?¡± ¡°Aiya, Little Li, are you free tomorrow night to come to the park for a gathering?¡± ¡°Shanshan, we haven¡¯t seen each other in a long time. Let¡¯s go shopping in the park tomorrow. Hahaha, it¡¯s settled, yeah?¡± Mother Luo was wearing gold jewelry while calling her friends and could not stop being so happy. Luo Feng could hear the sound of cars starting up outside every morning at 6:30 am sharp, from then on. Mr. and Mrs. Luo went to work at nine o¡¯clock. The journey to work only took 20 minutes but the two of them had to drive around for more than an hour. When they saw familiar faces across the street, they had to go up and greet them. Luo Mu went out to plaza dance at 6pm sharp, and she had to be fully armed. Five layers of gold accessories was not a small number. Luo Feng felt tired just looking at it. Was she going out to square dance or to carry weights for training? Over the next few days, Luo Feng was surprised to discover that his mother¡¯s stubborn weight had actually dropped by a few catties! ¡°Mom, isn¡¯t your amount of exercise a little too much?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached. Mother Luo was exceptionally persistent. ¡°I¡¯ve lost a few catties. I would be blown away by the wind if I don¡¯t use gold to suppress my weight!¡± Luo Feng was speechless. Well, whatever, as long as his mother was happy. Chapter 88 ?88 Luo Feng, You Are The Pride of Our Entire Extended Family! The news of Luo Feng becoming the top scholar spread like a typhoon to all the relatives on both sides of his parents. The calls at home never stopped. Often, another relative called again just as he said goodbye to one relative. It was seamless, as if they had discussed it with the stopwatch. Father and Mother Luo did not want to hold a school promotion banquet because it was too troublesome. The two of them had followed the relocated factory from their hometown to Crown City. Their relatives and friends were basically all still in their hometown. It was really unnecessary to let them come for a meal. Moreover, the summer holidays were the hottest time of the year. Originally, they wanted to invite their relatives to gather when they returned to their hometown for the new year. However, their relatives felt that this was a rare joyous occasion. They had to hold it! They had to! Luo Feng¡¯s Eldest Uncle even said that if Father and Mother Luo didn¡¯t do it, he would do it himself. Eldest Uncle was the eldest brother in the family. Father Luo did not dare to disobey, so he sent invitations to his relatives to come to Crown City. At the entrance of the station, Father Luo leaned against the car and said, ¡°Son, do you think my posture is handsome?¡± ¡°Be careful of your waist at your age.¡± Luo Feng saw that his father was wringing like a fried dough twist and didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen your Eldest Uncle in many years. Of course I have to show him my best.¡± Father Luo chuckled and changed his posture again. He supported his head with one hand and his waist with the other, looking like a big bear that had just eaten its fill. His Eldest Uncle was more than 10 years older than Father Luo. In the past, Luo Feng¡¯s grandparents were busy farming and spent most of their time in the fields. The children at home relied on his Eldest Uncle to feed them. It wouldn¡¯t be an exaggeration to say that he was half a father. Even though Father Luo was middle-aged, his Eldest Uncle would habitually nag when the two brothers met. Therefore, Father Luo especially wanted to show his eldest brother that he was doing very well! ¡°Dad, Eldest Uncle and the others are over there!¡± Luo Feng pointed at the exit. A man who looked a little like Father Luo walked out of the station with a bouncing girl beside him. ¡°Cousin! Third Uncle!¡± The girl also saw them. She bounced over like an agile lark.She suddenly stopped when she rushed in front of Luo Feng. Then, she immediately retracted her outstretched arms and said warily, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m your Elder Brother!¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°It¡¯s been a while since we last met, and Xiaorui has grown so tall that I almost can¡¯t recognize her.¡± Luo Xiaorui roared in her heart. I didn¡¯t recognize you! It was Luo Feng from afar just now. Why did he become a handsome man up close? The kind that could cause a girl to blush when their eyes meet! Luo Feng¡¯s facial features didn¡¯t change much, but his entire temperament was confident and calm. He didn¡¯t seem like a student. Eldest Uncle walked up and patted his daughter¡¯s head. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to give Cousin a big hug in the car just now? Why aren¡¯t you hugging him anymore?¡± Luo Xiaorui hid behind her father with mixed feelings. She wanted to hug her cousin, who had been mischievous with her since she was young. She really did not dare to reach out to this steady handsome man! ¡°Hahaha, you finally know how to be shy.¡± Luo Feng laughed. ¡°This girl is really¡­¡± Uncle looked at his daughter dotingly, then looked at Luo Feng. He took a deep breath and sighed at Luo Feng¡¯s change. It was as if he had become a different person from the inside out! Eldest Uncle patted Luo Feng¡¯s arm and realized that the young man was very strong: ¡°Good! Good! Eldest Uncle is really happy for you!¡± ¡°No, no!¡± Luo Feng pushed the red packet back, ¡°This is too much, I can¡¯t accept it!¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of!¡± Eldest Uncle stuffed the red packet into Luo Feng¡¯s arms and said firmly, ¡°Your outstanding results are the pride of our family. I¡¯ll be angry if you don¡¯t take it!¡± Luo Xiaorui chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right, Big Brother. Take it!¡± If it was in the past, she would definitely smile and ask Luo Feng to give her half. However, Luo Feng had become someone she didn¡¯t dare to approach. Instead, he felt a little distant. Luo Feng helplessly accepted: ¡°Alright, thank you Eldest Uncle.¡± The three of them chatted and laughed, not seeing Father Luo at all. Finally, his eldest brother noticed him before his arm went numb. ¡°Big Brother, get in the car first. It¡¯s almost time to eat,¡± Father Luo greeted. The few of them got into the car. Halfway through, Eldest Uncle finally noticed the interior of the car. He touched it and said, ¡°This car looks new. Why didn¡¯t I hear you mention it?¡± ¡°Little Feng bought it and received it a few days ago so I didn¡¯t have the time to tell you.¡± Father Luo couldn¡¯t help but smile. Eldest Uncle had heard about the milk tea shop and praised Luo Feng even more, ¡°Little Feng will definitely be the most promising child in our family in the future. Third brother, you taught him well!¡± Father Luo kept nodding and smiling, but he felt that he did not contribute much to this matter. It seemed that Ai Tingya¡¯s contribution was greater. Luo Xiaorui drooled as she listened. A girl her age was milk tea¡¯s target customer. She was too embarrassed to tell Luo Feng, so she had mixed feelings. After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Father Luo still had to pick up the others, so Luo Feng led the two of them upstairs. A huge banner hung at the top of the 3rd floor hall: ¡°Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s school promotion banquet¡±. Luo Xiaorui stared at the banner and felt that it was a little strange. Why didn¡¯t it look like a school promotion banquet? It looked more like an engagement party? Who was this Ai Tingya? She pushed the door open and entered. All 30 tables had been reserved. Luo Xiaorui¡¯s mouth fell open. She had never eaten such a lively meal. Luo Feng¡¯s classmates and teachers alone took up five tables. His relatives and friends chatted happily, and it was even more lively than the New Year! Luo Feng arranged for his uncle and cousin to sit down before rushing to greet the others. Mother Luo called out to her colleagues and smiled from ear to ear. The moment she saw Luo Feng, she pulled him and said, ¡°Have you seen Tingya? Why haven¡¯t I seen her?¡± ¡°She should be greeting the students.¡± Luo Feng said. Mother Luo had long treated Ai Tingya as family. She thought that no one would hold a banquet for her in the orphanage, so she simply held it for both of them together. The four of them had discussed that Father Luo would be in charge of picking them up, Mother Luo would be in charge of greeting her relatives and friends, and Ai Tingya would be in charge of greeting her classmates and teachers before the meeting. Luo Feng, on the other hand, was flexible and would go wherever there was a need for someone to be there. Luo Feng thought that his mother had something to say to her, so he said, ¡°Go greet them first, I¡¯ll go find her.¡± He walked through the crowd to the innermost table and saw Ai Tingya talking to a girl in her class. She was wearing a light green dress today and looked very delicate and beautiful. The male students who were already sitting down were stunned. Luo Feng walked over and pulled her back. ¡°Tingya, my mom is looking for you. Come over.¡± Chapter 89 ?89 Is This A School Advancement Banquet Or An Engagement Party? Ai Tingya found Mother Luo and thought that she had something to tell her. Unexpectedly, Mother Luo suddenly pulled her to a table. ¡°Little Li, this is the Tingya I often tell you about.¡± Mother Luo explained to a middle-aged woman. Then, she said to Ai Tingya, ¡°This is Auntie¡¯s good friend. Call her Auntie Li.¡± Ai Tingya said obediently, ¡°Hello, Auntie Li!¡± Auntie Li sized up Ai Tingya from head to toe and suddenly understood why Mother Luo talked about her every day. She was indeed a rare beautiful girl. ¡°She¡¯s so good-looking. No wonder Sister Luo keeps mentioning Xiao Ai,¡± Auntie Li said. ¡°Congratulations, Sister Luo. Your son is so promising and the daughter-in-law he found is so beautiful!¡± Mother Luo smiled from ear to ear. ¡°Little Li, you¡¯re so good at talking. Tingya, thank Auntie Li.¡± ¡°Thank you, Auntie Li.¡± Ai Tingya smiled. After Mother Luo finished introducing them at this table, she pulled Ai Tingya to the next table. ¡°This is Little Feng¡¯s Aunt. Tingya, follow Little Feng and call her Aunt.¡± Mother Luo pulled Ai Tingya and taught her how to call people one by one. Ai Tingya was also very obedient and gentle. Her aunt seemed to have thought about it and teased, ¡°Aiyo, whose daughter is this? She looks so refined.¡± Mother Luo said, ¡°Of course she¡¯s mine. Isn¡¯t she beautiful? Let me tell you, our Tingya isn¡¯t just beautiful. She¡¯s gentle and good at studying. In the beginning, she was the one who tutored Little Feng, which made my son interested in learning.¡± Then, he became the top scorer as soon as he was interested? The relatives at the table were all shocked. If he had a bumper harvest of studies and love, wouldn¡¯t he be able to get married immediately after graduating from university? Did that mean she would be able to have grandchildren in a few years? In the minds of the older generation, Father and Mother Luo had already reached the peak of their lives. Ai Tingya lowered her head slightly. Mother Luos words praised her for being too perfect and she was a little embarrassed. The relatives at the other tables who had yet to be introduced also pricked up their ears, listening to Mother Luo praise how good Tingya was and how compatible she was with her son. The relatives could not help but wonder if this was a school promotion banquet or an engagement ceremony. Mother Luo pulled Ai Tingya from one table to another. Luo Feng¡¯s family had a lot of relatives, and he had invited many old neighbors. Ai Tingya¡¯s mouth went dry just by calling them. On the other hand, Mother Luo did not repeat the words she used to praise Ai Tingya. She was eloquent, making Ai Tingya envious. Finally, there was only one table left. Ai Tingya pulled Mother Luo and said shyly, ¡°Auntie, stop praising me. I¡¯m actually not that¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense,¡± Mother Luo reminded. ¡°You¡¯re like this in Auntie¡¯s eyes! Don¡¯t belittle yourself, understand? Little Feng is a boy. It¡¯s tougher to suppress him more to allow him to gain in hardness. You¡¯re a girl. You have to be confident. Auntie is telling the truth, understand?¡± Ai Tingya nodded vigorously, indicating that she understood. Actually, she also understood that Mother Luo was worried that she would be too lonely. She did not know most of the guests who came today and could only circle around her schoolmates after all. Mother Luo was afraid that Ai Tingya would be neglected, and she would have to get to know her relatives sooner or later. She might as well make a dazzling appearance at the school promotion banquet! She pulled Ai Tingya to the last table and a pair of curious eyes glued to Ai Tingya. Luo Xiaorui had long noticed Ai Tingya. Teenagers were always especially concerned about looks. They could not help but take a few more glances at beautiful ladies. What surprised her even more was that Luo Xiaorui could smell gossip as she watched Luo Feng¡¯s mother pull her sister around. ¡°Tingya, this is Eldest Uncle.¡± ¡°This is Second Aunt, and this is Second Uncle.¡± ¡°This is your younger cousin.¡± Mother Luo introduced them one by one, and Ai Tingya greeted them politely. Because Mother Luo¡¯s tone of introducing Ai Tingya was too similar to introducing a daughter-in-law, everyone looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Second Aunt quickly lectured the old man, ¡°The two children are still studying. Why would they give birth to children? They will definitely be united forever!¡± ¡°Sister-in-law knows best! Hahaha!¡± Mother Luo could not stop laughing. She happily stuffed the red packet into Ai Tingya¡¯s bag. Ai Tingya¡¯s face was red, but she was very happy because she had been recognized by Luo Feng¡¯s family. After a round of greetings, Mother Luo led Ai Tingya to greet the others. Ai Tingya felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. When she looked over, she realized that it was the girl who was sitting with Luo Feng¡¯s uncle just now. She remembered that it was Luo Feng¡¯s cousin. ¡°You¡¯re Xiaorui, right?¡± Ai Tingya smiled and held Luo Xiaorui¡¯s hand. ¡°Sister, how do you know my name?¡± Xiaorui said in surprise. She had no resistance to beautiful people and had a natural sense of reverence. She was too embarrassed to look straight at Ai Tingya. ¡°Luo Feng told me about his beautiful cousin¡± ¡°Brother Feng would describe me like that?¡± Luo Xiaorui naturally thought of how Luo Feng could always accurately throw mud at her face when she was young. After confirming that this was not something he could say, she shook her head and said, ¡°Sister, you¡¯re the beautiful one!¡± ¡°Thank you for the compliment.¡± ¡°By the way, Sister.¡± Luo Xiaorui¡¯s gossipy soul burned. ¡°Are you really dating my brother?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°How long have you been together?¡± ¡°The confession was during the Oath-Taking Rally and we officially got together after the results were out.¡± Luo Xiaorui¡¯s eyes widened. She didn¡¯t expect Luo Feng to not only become more handsome, but also become bolder. He even dared to date in his third year of high school and confess at the Oath-Taking Rally? This method was too wild! ¡°Wow! I didn¡¯t know my brother was so bold!¡± ¡°I was the one who confessed to your brother first in front of the entire school,¡± Ai Tingya said shyly. Luo Xiaorui was even more shocked. It was actually the beautiful lady who confessed first! She looked at Ai Tingya with more admiration. She felt that Ai Tingya was decisive and brave. She was too valiant! She was simply a role model for learning! Thinking about how Luo Feng used to bully her, a question arose in Luo Xiaorui¡¯s mind: ¡°Sister, what exactly do you like about my brother?¡± ¡°Your brother is¡­ He¡¯s very good.¡± ¡°Specifically?¡± ¡°Specifically, he¡¯s very good in all aspects!¡± Luo Xiaorui could not understand why Ai Tingya was so sincere and sweet! ¡°Are you two badmouthing me?¡± Luo Feng walked over at some point and placed his hand on Luo Xiaorui¡¯s head. Then, he told her to be obedient while making a new chicken nest-like hairdo for her. Luo Xiaorui jumped up to hit Luo Feng, but Luo Feng dodged too quickly. After missing, she turned to Ai Tingya and complained, ¡°Sister, look, my brother likes to bully people!¡± ¡°How did I bully you¡± laughed Luo Feng, ¡°This hairstyle suits you more¡± Luo Xiaorui clenched her fists and chased after Luo Feng. After fooling around for a while, she felt that the sense of alienation was gone again. No matter how handsome Luo Feng became, they were still intimate cousins. More importantly, she now had a beautiful sister-in-law. Chapter 90 - 90 Arriving At University, The Phone Number The Senior Left Behind 90 Arriving At University, The Phone Number The Senior Left Behind The school promotion banquet could be said to be the liveliest scene Luo Feng had seen in his two lifetimes. Other than a few relatives who were not present for special reasons, the others who should have come were all here. Even the distant relatives that Luo Feng¡¯s parents did not remember traveled thousands of kilometers to send their blessings. After all, being the top scorer of the college entrance examination with more than 700 points was an honor that could be written on the family tree! The family, relatives, and friends gathered together and finished their meal happily. Father Luo even took out his treasured vault and brought his relatives who were not in a hurry to go home around Crown City to buy some local specialties for them. Luo Xiaorui hovered around Ai Tingya every day during the few days she stayed in Crown City. She would follow Ai Tingya around if Ai Tingya came to look for Luo Feng. If Ai Tingya did not come to look for Luo Feng, she would chase her to the orphanage. She even followed Ai Tingya to the milk tea shop to help. The advantage of following the lady boss was that she could drink milk tea filled to the brim with ingredients as she pleased. A cup of Burning Immortal Grass could be used as Eight Treasures Congee. Luo Xiaorui¡¯s burps smell like milk. She had never drunk such delicious milk tea before. It made her want to transfer to Crown City and be with milk tea forever. Happy times were always short. A few days later, Eldest Uncle left Crown City with Luo Xiaorui. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya also had to prepare to go to university. The only thing that made things difficult for them was what to do with the first Good Me Milk Tea Shop. After all, it was the first shop that they had personally managed. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya still had deep feelings for it. Lu Zhao went to the new shop in Nanlin City. Dean Du was already busy with the orphanage alone. It was slightly difficult for the other children to be fully in charge of a shop. The two of them could not find a suitable person to replace them at the last minute. In the end, after careful consideration, they decided to entrust it to Father and Mother Luo. During the last period of the summer vacation, the two of them were handing over the matters of the milk tea shop and familiarizing Father and Mother Luo with the situation in the shop other than preparing for university life. They also instructed Xiao Fei and the others to contact Father and Mother Luo if there was any trouble that they could not resolve. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the summer vacation was over. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were about to officially enter the university campus. Crown City Station. Mother Luo¡¯s eyes were red. She held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand reluctantly and said, ¡°Call me if you miss me. Tell me if Little Feng bullies you. I¡¯ll teach him a lesson!¡± Ai Tingya felt like crying. Dean Du had something on today and could not come. Xiao Fei and the others had gone to school in advance. Fortunately, Father and Mother Luo came to send her off. Otherwise, Ai Tingya would really be sad. ¡°Thank you, Auntie. We¡¯ll definitely be fine,¡± Ai Tingya sobbed. Mother Luo took out a bag of snacks from her pocket and placed it on Ai Tingya¡¯s luggage. ¡°Eat them on the way. They¡¯re all your favorites.¡± ¡°Thank you, Auntie. I¡¯ll definitely finish them,¡± Ai Tingya said gratefully. In the past, she rarely had the chance to eat snacks, and no one would specially prepare them for her. Mother Luo looked at the bags of snacks and felt that they were too little. ¡°There are still two bags of snacks in the trunk. Go and pack some for Tingya.¡± She said to Father Luo, worried that the two children would not have enough to eat on the way. Luo Feng hurriedly pulled Father Luo back. ¡°No, no, no. These snacks are enough. We won¡¯t be able to bring them with us if there¡¯s more.¡± ¡°Boohoo!¡± Mother Luo became even sadder upon hearing that they were leaving. She reminded Luo Feng with tears streaming down her face, ¡°The two of you can take care of each other outside. Call us whenever you are free. If you don¡¯t have money¡­¡± Mother Luo thought for a moment. Luo Feng was even richer than them now. She changed the topic and said, ¡°Take good care of yourself.¡± Luo Feng laughed and went forward to hug his sobbing mother. He patted her back and said, ¡°We¡¯ll get going.¡± The two of them turned around and walked into the ticket barrier. Mother Luo suddenly shouted, ¡°Feng, Tingya is weak. Help her carry her luggage.¡± ¡°¡­Alright.¡± Luo Feng held a box in each hand and led Ai Tingya into the car. They had to take a car to Nanlin City first, then take a plane to the city where the school was, and finally take a car to report to the school. Therefore, Luo Feng would bring as little luggage as possible. In his previous life, he had listened to Mother Luo. From the big cotton mattress to the small toothbrush and toothpaste, they were all brought from home. There were a total of four to five bags of luggage, it wasn¡¯t like going to school, but rather, moving house. Other freshmen only had one senior accompanying them, but he had two to three seniors helping him move things. Forget about social death, Luo Feng finally realized sadly that the school sold everything. Of course, he would travel light when he went out. Luo Feng did not lack money, so it was much easier to buy them directly. Therefore, when Mother Luo brought him the washbasin last night, Luo Feng was unwilling to take it no matter what. He also stopped his mother from stuffing snacks into his box. Luo Feng had also helped pack Ai Tingya¡¯s luggage. She was simply a replica of Luo Feng in her previous life. She wished she could move the entire room to university. However, she did not have many things to begin with. Luo Feng picked and picked, and a small suitcase filled everything. The two of them finally arrived at Oxford at three in the afternoon after taking the flight and another car. Luo Feng got out of the car and looked at the ancient campus of the ancient castle, feeling the ancient charm of history. In his previous life, he probably never dreamed that he could study in such a good school. Temporary tents were set up around the school gate, and the names of each department were written beside each tent. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya found the Finance Faculty. After the blonde senior helped them with their registration, another senior led them to the dormitory building. The senior looked at their numbers and was a little surprised. It was actually a dormitory that Professor Jing had applied for for them alone! Originally, there were three buildings between the male and female dormitories of the Finance Department, but their dormitories were next to each other. This relationship was self-evident. The senior looked at Luo Feng regretfully. She had wanted to develop a relationship with her ignorant and cute junior. It was not easy for a handsome boy to come, but he was already taken. The senior sighed secretly and held her tears for her youth that she did not know how long she would have to waste. As their dormitory buildings were facing each other, the senior sent Ai Tingya upstairs first while Luo Feng waited downstairs. After a while, the senior went downstairs and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. The two of you are so lucky. The dormitory you were assigned to is facing each other. You can see each other when you walk to the balcony.¡± How could the senior not know that this was deliberately arranged? She paid more attention to Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory was on the third floor. There were four people in one dormitory. They went to bed and sat on the table. It was a mixed dormitory. The four of them had different majors. When Luo Feng arrived, the other three had already chosen their beds. Only the bed near the window was still empty. The senior helped Luo Feng push his luggage to the bed and said, ¡°If you forgot anything, there¡¯s something in the school supermarket. If you have anything you want to ask, you can call me directly.¡± With that, the senior took out a piece of paper with a phone number on it and placed it on the table. She waved at Luo Feng and left the dormitory. Luo Feng felt that a good university was indeed different. In the half-baked university he attended in his previous life, his seniors would even collude with the small shops outside to trick new students to buy things. ¡°Senior is so friendly.¡± Luo Feng sighed. A faint voice suddenly came from the bed beside him. ¡°Maybe she¡¯s just being kind to you.¡± Chapter 91 - 91 Youre Still The Best After Much Comparison! 91 You¡¯re Still The Best After Much Comparison! Only then did Luo Feng realize that the other three people in the dormitory had stopped what they were doing and were staring at the paper on his desk. ¡°Do you want it?¡± Luo Feng picked it up in a friendly manner. ¡°Hehe, brother, you¡¯re quite lucky with women.¡± The brother on the bed beside him had a well-defined hairstyle. His hair was so well-defined that even a level-eight typhoon would not be able to blow it away. He dressed fashionably and looked like an exquisite young master. He was the first to walk over and shake Luo Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°My name is Yang Bo, I¡¯m studying law.¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°Luo Feng, finance.¡± A little fatty beside him said, ¡°I¡¯m studying mathematics. My name is Hao Yingqiang.¡± The last person in the dormitory was a foreigner. He introduced himself in fluent Chinese. ¡°My name is Ali Myron. You can call me Ali. My major is classical literature and modern languages.¡± After introducing themselves, the three of them continued to smile at the slip with the phone number. ¡°Brother, do you understand why she left you her number?¡± Yang Bo went to Luo Feng¡¯s side and looked at the note. He could even smell a faint fragrance. ¡°There will be a welcome party after the military training. You can look for her as your dance partner!¡± Luo Feng was about to say that he had a girlfriend when Ali smiled and said, ¡°Senior sent us to the dormitory too. We didn¡¯t get a call.¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Hao Yingqiang shrunk his neck and laughed. Phone numbers were meaningless to Luo Feng. If he really wanted to dance, he would be with Ai Tingya, so he put the note aside. Yang Bo put his hands in his pockets and stood in the middle of the dormitory. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the Senior later. Let¡¯s talk about how we got into university.¡± The dormitory was a small organization. There would definitely be a person in charge. Yang Bo¡¯s family background should not be bad. He carried a little natural arrogance and was like a big brother, guiding everyone to chat. Yang Bo introduced himself. ¡°Originally, my parents wanted me to find a school near my house, but I was already tired of staying in Beijing, so I wanted to go out for an adventure. I studied like mad for a year and got in through the college entrance examination.¡± Yang Bo was quite famous for being able to get into Oxford after a year of hardcore studying. This also meant that his family must have spent a lot of manpower and resources. Yang Bo was a little proud when speaking of Beijing. ¡°I¡¯m a student guaranteed by the school.¡± Hao Yingqiang pushed his glasses up his nose bridge. He was also very proud of his results. Ali was from another country, so the steps of the examination were different from the other three. ¡°I completed the ACT test in my Third High School and applied to Oxford University in my fourth year. There were some happenings then. You shouldn¡¯t be interested. It¡¯s been a very busy three years.¡± After the three of them finished speaking, they looked at Luo Feng in unison. Luo Feng kept a low profile and said, ¡°I took the college entrance examination and became the top scorer. I chose Oxford because the school¡¯s finance school is not bad.¡± Ali might not know the exact situation, but Yang Bo and Hao Yingqiang understood the value of the top scorer of the college entrance examination. They looked at each other and felt that Luo Feng was still the best in terms of results. Hao Yingqiang was guaranteed admission and did not need to take the college entrance examination, so he did not care much. On the other hand, Yang Bo wanted to be the boss of the dormitory. He would not give up just because of his results. ¡°Actually, a few female students in the second year of high school chased after me and insisted on dating me. I had to be entangled with them and get distracted.¡± Hao Yingqiang revealed a gossipy smile. ¡°Did you accept any of them then?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Yang Bo lowered his head and smiled. ¡°I reluctantly dated a girl for a year in order not to leave any regrets for my youth. She¡¯s good in every way. She¡¯s gentle and obedient, but she¡¯s focused all her attention on me, causing her results to decline severely. She¡¯s repeating her studies now.¡± ¡°Wow, you have a girlfriend, yet you¡¯re still thinking about your senior. You¡¯re fickle-minded,¡± Hao Yingqiang joked. Yang Boyi said sternly, ¡°Of course not. I asked her to take the exam well in order not to delay her. We¡¯ll get back together if she can get into Oxford and I¡¯m still single at that time. We definitely have to give her some hope, right?¡± In other words, too bad if Yang Bo had a partner by then. The other three understood what he meant, but Luo Feng still realized that Hao Yingqiang and Ali were looking at him with admiration. ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Hao Yingqiang had a strong yearning for love. ¡°I studied hard for three years in high school. I didn¡¯t even talk to the girls in my class.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been chasing a girl. It¡¯s a pity she doesn¡¯t like me.¡± Ali chimed in. The two of them had ugly expressions on their faces. Love made the three of them resonate strangely. For a moment, they did not have the time to ask Luo Feng about his love history. At this moment, a delicate female voice sounded from outside the door. ¡°Luo Feng, are you done packing?¡± Ai Tingya stuck her head out and saw that the others in the dormitory were slightly nervous. The dormitory was instantly silent. The three boys widened their eyes and glared at Ai Tingya. Luo Feng walked over and pulled Ai Tingya over. ¡°Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Ai Tingya. We were classmates in high school.¡± The three of them waved at Ai Tingya with infatuated smiles. Luo Feng said to Ai Tingya, ¡°Tingya, this is Yang Bo. He¡¯s Hao Yingqiang. That foreign student is Ali Myron.¡± Ai Tingya smiled and blew past the three of them like a spring breeze in March. ¡°Hello, I have to trouble you to guide my Luo Feng along.¡± ¡°No, no, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Yang Bo subconsciously lowered his voice. He was still talking confidently just now, but now he seemed a little shy. Yang Bo originally felt that his high school life was very exciting and that his studies and love were both fruitful. However, he realized that not only were his results inferior to Luo Feng¡¯s, his girlfriend was also inferior to Luo Feng¡¯s girlfriend after comparison! He was only awesome for a short while while Luo Feng had been awesome from beginning to end. ¡°Student Ai, don¡¯t worry. In the future, Brother Luo will be my biological brother!¡± Hao Yingqiang said as if they were close friends. In the future, he would have to rely on Luo Feng¡¯s guidance to get rid of his single status. Ali only nodded. Luo Feng¡¯s happy appearance reminded him of the girls he had wooed over the years. He could not help but feel sad. Ai Tingya covered her mouth and chuckled. ¡°Luo Feng, your roommates are so interesting.¡± Luo Feng glanced at the three shy people. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s quite interesting.¡± Ai Tingya said to the three of them, ¡°The two of us are going down to buy something. Do you need anything? Luo Feng can bring it back for you.¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± The three of them shook their heads and waved their hands. They didn¡¯t want to trouble the beauty and her boyfriend on their first meeting. After the two of them left the dormitory, the three of them lay on the door frame and stared at the departing figure with admiration. Hao Yingqiang grabbed the door frame and gritted his teeth. ¡°Oh my god, Luo Feng is so lucky to have a girlfriend who can attend university together!¡± The other two nodded repeatedly. Even the arrogant Yang Bo could not help but sigh. ¡°Why would I go to university if my ex-girlfriend was as beautiful as her? I¡¯ll keep her and repeat school together.¡± Ali could not describe his feelings and could only sigh. Chapter 92 - 92 That Professors Strange Attitude 92 That Professor¡¯s Strange Attitude Luo Feng could still get into the top scorer of the college entrance examination with a beautiful girlfriend by his side. It had to be said that his willpower was really strong! A sense of admiration rose in the three of them. Hao Yingqiang took off his glasses and said solemnly, ¡°You guys are better. I heard that our Mathematics Faculty has a higher ratio of males than females. There are so few girls that it¡¯s pitiful. The seniors who welcomed the new students were borrowed from other departments. I¡¯m afraid I have no hope of getting a girlfriend.¡± Yang Bo thought about the Law Faculty and pinched his temples in distress. ¡°The ratio of men and women in our faculty is not evenly distributed either. It¡¯s better than your Mathematics Faculty. However, you know that studying law is too stressful and rational. To be honest, it¡¯s not my cup of tea.¡± The two of them looked at Ali with hope. They felt that there should be many girls studying classical literature, and they were very poetic. Ali sensed their gazes and looked at the ceiling gloomily. ¡°I¡¯ve always liked just this one girl. But if you want to get to know each other, I can help you on the front line.¡± The two of them felt that there was no hope seeing his state. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m so handsome but I didn¡¯t meet a girl I like. Am I really going to die alone?¡± Yang Bo sighed, feeling that his youth was about to dissipate. ¡°Bullsh*t! You have an ex-girlfriend who¡¯s working hard for you. I haven¡¯t even spoken much to a girl!¡± Hao Yingqiang was indignant. It was really difficult for human feelings to be connected. ¡°It¡¯s not too late to change courses.¡± Ali made a seemingly pertinent suggestion, but it was actually very unreliable. Changing courses was not like buying vegetables. He could not just go like that. The three of them looked at each other wordlessly, dejected. At this moment, Ali suddenly remembered something important. ¡°According to my experience wooing girls, there will be many beautiful girls around beautiful girls¡­¡± The other two¡¯s eyes lit up. Thinking of Ai Tingya¡¯s gentle and confident appearance, the friends she made definitely wouldn¡¯t be bad! The three of them made up their minds. Just because of Luo Feng, they were definitely going to be brothers! Their future happiness depended on him! ¡­ Luo Feng and Ai Tingya went to the school supermarket. They did not bring anything else other than clothes and simple daily necessities. Each of them pushed a small cart and searched the shelves one by one. From bedding sheets to washbasin lotion. Ai Yi could tell that there was a list in front of her. She crossed out every item she bought. When she found the last soap she needed, she felt that she had bought enough. ¡°Luo Feng, let¡¯s go back. Where is he?¡± Ai Tingya looked up and realized that Luo Feng, who had been pushing the cart just now, had disappeared. She searched the vicinity and finally saw Luo Feng in the sanitary supplies area. She realized that he was looking down and studying the sanitary pads. Ai Tingya looked at her list and realized that she had indeed forgotten to write down the sanitary pads. Her heart could not help but warm seeing how attentive Luo Feng was. She walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side. Before she could speak, Luo Feng held a bag of sanitary pads in each hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ll use this. You use this.¡± Ai Tingya felt her ears burning. ??? Why would boys use sanitary pads? Seeing how seriously Luo Feng was choosing, Ai Tingya suddenly felt a little afraid. ¡°This¡­ you shouldn¡¯t¡­ need it¡­¡± Ai Tingya stammered. Luo Feng blinked and said, ¡°Of course I can use it. It can be used as a shoe cushion during military training. It¡¯s soft and sweaty. This length should be enough.¡± This experience was summarized in his previous life. At that time, the six people in their dormitory were all pure boys and were too embarrassed to buy them from the supermarket. Luo Feng borrowed two from Xing Miaomiao and was the supplier for the entire dormitory¡¯s sanitary pads. The two of them looked at each other. Ai Tingya had mixed feelings. So she was thinking too much. Ai Tingya took two packs of sanitary pads and looked at them. She said, ¡°For foot pads, the cotton-soft ones will be more suitable than the dry ones. This one is a little thicker. Take 290mm. It might be a little longer.¡± Luo Feng nodded as he listened. So small sanitary pads were so particular. ¡°Then which one do you usually use?¡± Luo Feng whispered into Ai Tingya¡¯s ear. Ai Tingya¡¯s ears heated up. She covered her ears and hid to the side. She said shyly, ¡°I¡¯m not telling you!¡± Luo Feng said slyly, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, what if I buy the wrong one in the future?¡± ¡°Who would want you to buy them?¡± Ai Tingya stomped her feet in embarrassment. She snatched the sanitary pads and threw them in the shopping cart before pushing them away. After paying the bill, the two of them realized that they had bought too many things and could not carry them with four hands. Luo Feng registered his information and borrowed a cart from the supermarket. The two of them admired the new school as they walked. The medieval-style building had settled down in history, making it look like a silent old man. The two of them walked among it and brushed past the energetic students, giving off a unique charm of the old and new. Luo Feng seemed to be able to smell the warm smell of the sun from the wind, bringing with it the unique romantic aura of Oxford. With such beautiful scenery, he naturally held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. The two of them bathed in the warm afternoon sun and slowly walked towards the dormitory under the mottled light. At this moment, Luo Feng vaguely heard someone calling him from behind. He stopped and looked back. He saw Professor Jing and a white-haired old man slowly walking over. Luo Feng saw that students kept coming forward to greet Professor Jing¡¯s old man and guessed that he was also a teacher from the school. The two of them would be stopped after taking a few steps, so they walked rather slowly. ¡°I saw you from afar. It¡¯s really you.¡± Professor Jing walked closer and said to Luo Feng, ¡°Luo Feng, Ai Tingya, this is our school¡¯s philosophy professor, Ai Zhaojiang.¡± It was unknown if it was on purpose or if Luo Feng was too sensitive, but he felt that Professor Jing emphasized the word ¡°Ai¡±. This made Luo Feng and Ai Tingya a little curious. They could actually meet fellow countrymen with the same surname in a foreign land. Professor Jing introduced him to Ai Zhaojiang. ¡°Old Ai, this is Luo Feng, the top scorer who almost scored full marks.¡± ¡°Alright, alright. You have a bright future. Continue working hard,¡± Ai Zhaojiang said vaguely. His small eyes were wide open as he looked at Ai Tingya without moving. They were too similar! Ai Zhaojiang felt like he was about to cry. It was as if he could see his son standing in front of him when he was young. Luo Feng looked at Ai Zhaojiang and then at Ai Tingya. He felt that it was strange. Why was Professor Ai staring at Ai Tingya when Professor Jing introduced him? Moreover, it was obvious that he didn¡¯t want to talk to him. Ai Tingya felt uncomfortable under his gaze and took the initiative to greet him to break the awkwardness. ¡°Professor Ai¡­ Hello¡­¡± ¡°Good! Good!¡± Ai Zhaojiang smiled until her eyes were like slits. Luo Feng felt even stranger. The joy was like hearing a baby speak for the first time. Professor Jing coughed and reminded Ai Zhaojiang to control herself. Don¡¯t scare others on their first meeting. He took the initiative to suggest, ¡°We want to treat you to a meal. Are you free today?¡± Two professors are treating them to a meal on the first day of school? Luo Feng had never heard of such treatment in university. Moreover, Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s attitude was a little off. He did not dare to accept it for a while. Chapter 93 ?93 I Have To Continue Open Shops Even I Attend University Luo Feng did not know what kind of custom Oxford had in the past for new students, but he was certain that no professor had treated them to a meal! Ai Zhaojiang said to Tingya as if she was coaxing a child, ¡°What do you like to eat?¡± They were already so close on their first meeting. For some reason, Ai Tingya hid behind Luo Feng and tightened her grip on him. Luo Feng sensed Ai Tingya¡¯s fear and took a step forward to block Professor Jing and Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s gazes. ¡°Thank you, Professor, but we still have a lot of things to do since we just arrived. We have to let you down. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± Professor Jing laughed dryly and felt that it was too abrupt. ¡°There¡¯s indeed not enough time. Let¡¯s talk about it next time when you¡¯re free.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor. Goodbye, Professor.¡± Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and the two of them ran away. Tingya turned around as she ran and realized that Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s eyes were glistening with tears. Looking at the two of them running away, Professor Jing said helplessly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell her directly? Look at us now. They will think we¡¯re bad people.¡± Ai Zhaojiang wiped her eyes and choked. ¡°I¡¯m afraid¡ª I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll blame me and ask me why I didn¡¯t look for her. But I really can¡¯t control myself.¡± Ai Zhaojiang had been working hard to create an amiable first impression of himself before they met. He would slowly get closer to her in the future. However, the words that he had thought of were completely forgotten the moment they met. He wished he could tell Ai Tingya immediately that he was her biological grandfather. He flinched again when he saw Ai Tingya¡¯s face. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t been too domineering back then, Tingya¡¯s father wouldn¡¯t have left,¡± Ai Zhaojiang said sadly. ¡°I¡¯m the cause of Tingya being an orphan for 18 years.¡± Ai Zhaojiang had been regretting it all the time throughout these years. He did not have a close relative by his side in his later years. He guarded the osmanthus tree in the courtyard every day. The once high-spirited philosophy professor only had boundless desolation in his later years. Professor Jing felt very upset when he saw his old friend sad. Even though Ai Zhaojiang had retired many years ago, his legend remained in the school. His strict teaching style and rigorous teaching philosophy had always been discussed by the students and passed down from generation to generation. Especially Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s unyielding attitude of slamming the table with the school leader for the sake of difficult students. He was a tough nut to crack, one tough cookie. Later on, the leader had a headache just hearing him knock on the door. The once fearless Ai Zhaojiang had also hunched her back and bent her back. She knew how to secretly touch and wipe her tears. He understood this feeling of homesickness. ¡°Old Ai, don¡¯t be sad. There¡¯s still a chance next time.¡± Ai Zhaojiang covered her eyes and sobbed. She said aggrievedly, ¡°Luo Feng ruined my first dinner with my granddaughter.¡± Professor Jing: ¡°¡­¡± This was a little unfair. When Professor Jing heard this, he felt sorry for Luo Feng. Luo Feng should have the reaction of a normal boyfriend thinking of how Ai Zhaojiang had frightened Ai Tingya just now. ¡°I advise you to find an opportunity to talk things out sooner,¡± Professor Jing advised. ¡°I don¡¯t think Ai Tingya is an unreasonable child. She should be able to understand you.¡± Ai Zhaojiang didn¡¯t answer, just stared in the direction where the two of them had left. ¡­ Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya and ran far away. He only stopped when he could no longer see the two professors. Ai Tingya panted as she supported herself with the cart. She felt suffocated. ¡°Luo Feng, why do I feel that Professor Ai is strange? He seems to have something to tell me.¡± Ai Tingya felt that Ai Zhaojiang didn¡¯t have any ill intentions. He even seemed to be suppressing something. Especially his sad expression in the end, Ai Tingya actually felt sad too. Luo Feng pinched Ai Tingya¡¯s red face and said, ¡°Maybe you¡¯re too likable.¡± He could also sense Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s emotions, and he felt that he was a little dissatisfied with him. Luo Feng felt that this meeting was a little strange. However, the two of them quickly forgot about this. This was because they had a busier vision¡ª To expand their territory! The school gave the new students three days to familiarize themselves with the campus and surrounding environment. Luo Feng looked at the students coming and going every day as if he was looking at customers standing in a row. The target audience of milk tea was students after all. The entire school contained a huge group of students who were potential customers! The two of them were busy participating in the school¡¯s event while looking for a suitable address to open a shop around the school. Oxford was their first stop to make a name for their brand! However, things didn¡¯t go as planned. Oxford did not technically have a school gate, so there were no shops. There was a business district that students liked to go to not far from the school. The shops operating there were mostly targeted at students. The rent of a place that could guarantee human traffic was very expensive, and no one would easily give it up. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya made two or three trips to ask their local classmates, but they could not find a suitable one. Luo Feng had no scruples about spending money after leaving his parents. He was a multi-millionaire, but he actually had no place to spend money. He was unfamiliar with the place and did not know who to give money to. On this day, the two of them, who had just finished visiting the library, walked on the boulevard. Ai Tingya lost hope after running around for a few days. ¡°Why don¡¯t we look to a further place? The rent might not be any cheaper but it definitely won¡¯t be so difficult to find.¡± Luo Feng had the same thought. ¡°Let¡¯s go to another business district and try our luck since we¡¯re free in the afternoon.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s phone suddenly rang just as the two of them were discussing where to look. ¡°Hello, who are you looking for?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ yes, I was there yesterday. Yes, yes, that student.¡± ¡°What? Want me to go over now? Alright, alright, I¡¯ll come over immediately.¡± After hanging up, Luo Feng said happily, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Tingya. The landlord from the shop I saw last time called.¡± ¡°Which landlord?¡± Ai Tingya had visited many landlords in the past two days, but she couldn¡¯t remember which one. Luo Feng said, ¡°The one who was in a hurry last time. He didn¡¯t even have time to leave a phone number.¡± Ai Tingya remembered him with that said. She remembered that the landlord had a bad temper and was a heavy drinker. His eyes were red from drinking in broad daylight, and she could smell the alcohol on him from two meters away. The landlord did not look very reliable, so that shop was the one Luo Feng they all did not have much hope of. ¡°He¡¯s willing to rent it to us?¡± Ai Tingya asked suspiciously. ¡°Yes, he asked us to bring our identification documents over to sign the contract.¡± Luo Feng touched his pocket and confirmed that he had his student ID with him. ¡°Why the sudden change in heart?¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°We¡¯ve only exchanged about five sentences!¡± Chapter 94 ?94 To Have Something Fall into Your Lap? A Shop That Seeks Rent At A Low Price Luo Feng and Ai Tingya felt that something was wrong. They had always felt that the landlord had no impression of them at all. Why did he suddenly call them to sign the contract? ¡°It¡¯s better for us to be careful lest there¡¯s a trap,¡± Ai Tingya said. She had no one to rely on since she was young and could settle everything herself. She was especially vigilant about some things. In addition, she had just arrived at a new place and was unfamiliar with the place. She was very worried that they would be schemed against. ¡°I¡¯m here. We¡¯ll leave immediately if we realize that something¡¯s wrong.¡± Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and pressed it against his chest. A strong heartbeat came from his palm, and all of Ai Tingya¡¯s worries instantly disappeared. The two of them took a taxi in order to avoid the landlord waiting too long. Luo Feng saw the landlord standing at the door from across the street, looking around as if he was in a hurry. When the taxi stopped at the entrance of the shop, the landlord ran out enthusiastically and took the initiative to open the door for them. This was not the treatment a tenant should receive¡­ Luo Feng pressed Ai Tingya behind him. The landlord had already turned around and returned to the house before he could speak. A contract was printed on Luo Feng¡¯s face when he emerged again. ¡°Just sign it!¡± the landlord urged. Luo Feng held the contract and said in surprise, ¡°But we haven¡¯t discussed the rent yet.¡± The landlord flipped to the third page impatiently and pointed at a row of words. ¡°This amount. Are you satisfied?¡± Luo Feng looked down and was instantly stunned. Seeing this, Ai Tingya quickly ran up and gasped when she saw the amount! ¡°10,000 yuan a month?¡± Luo Feng was surprised. ¡°What? Do you think it¡¯s too much?¡± The landlord was also surprised. Their business district was near Oxford. The premise of ensuring an abundance of customers was that every inch of land was worth money! The shops nearby cost at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month. Even though 10,000 yuan was more expensive than Crown City, it was already considered a charity here. Luo Feng waved his hand and said, ¡°No, no, no. It¡¯s too cheap, but can I ask why?¡± The landlord refused directly. ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looked at each other and nodded. Then, they said to the landlord, ¡°Sorry, we still have to think about it.¡± The landlord said anxiously, ¡°What¡¯s there to consider? Where else can it be cheaper than my offer?¡± He really wanted to grab Luo Feng¡¯s hand and sign it on his behalf! He looked like he expected better from someone. Why didn¡¯t he take such a good deal? Others might not be able to receive preferential treatment even if they racked their brains! ¡°Thank you, thank you. Let¡¯s go take a look at the others.¡± Luo Feng rejected decisively and pulled Ai Tingya away quickly. The two of them walked for a while. The more Ai Tingya thought about it, the stranger it became. ¡°There¡¯s no free lunch in the world. Did you see that just now? The landlord¡¯s eyes are about to turn red from anxiety!¡± Luo Feng nodded in agreement. ¡°We¡¯re not related. There¡¯s no reason to give us such a big discount. Let¡¯s find another shop.¡± Luo Feng knew the importance of being cautious after experiencing two lifetimes. He did not dare to take advantage of this. The two of them walked aimlessly around the business district. Luo Feng seized the opportunity to spend money on Ai Tingya. Soon, the two of them were carrying things in all four hands. Ai Tingya¡¯s calves were sore and she really couldn¡¯t walk anymore. The steak sounded too extravagant. Ai Tingya did not want to spend money, but she was really tired and could only let Luo Feng lead her. Luo Feng took the things from Ai Tingya and suddenly stopped after taking two steps. He saw a familiar figure crossing the road at the intersection in front of him. It was the landlord. He looked very anxious and almost got hit by a car as he jogged. Luo Feng pointed in the direction the landlord had run in and said, ¡°Tingya, look at that person.¡± The two of them watched the landlord run into a caf¨¦ and walk towards a white-haired old man by the window. The two of them could not suppress their curiosity and followed him. They leaned against the glass and saw that the landlord was actually looking for Ai Zhaojiang! The landlord hunched his back as if he was reporting something to Ai Zhaojiang. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t hear him clearly because they were too far away. The two of them bent down and got closer and closer. Ai Tingya¡¯s legs went weak, and she accidentally pounced on Luo Feng¡¯s back and pushed him out. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of her. Ai Zhaojiang was also shocked. He looked up and met Luo Feng¡¯s eyes. This might be the most awkward few minutes in Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s life. He stared at Luo Feng and happened to see Ai Tingya hiding behind him when he moved his gaze. Luo Feng did not know whether to leave or stay. He pulled Ai Tingya into the cafe after struggling for a few minutes. ¡°Professor Ai, what a coincidence.¡± Luo Feng smiled and scratched his head. ¡°Yes, what a coincidence. Hahaha.¡± Ai Zhaojiang laughed dryly and looked at Ai Tingya uncontrollably. The landlord, who was standing at the side, was at a loss. He remembered Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s instructions not to expose the deeper reason for the shop¡¯s rental. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Luo Feng. Luo Feng thought that since he was already here, he might as well figure things out. He didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and sat opposite Ai Zhaojiang. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the landlord? You know Professor Ai too?¡± The landlord smiled and nodded, not daring to say anything else. Ai Zhaojiang really wanted to throw Luo Feng out now. He had no choice but to answer such an obvious question. ¡°Yes, we happened to meet here and chatted for a while.¡± Luo Feng thought to himself that the landlord¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat just now. He did not seem to have come to meet him by chance. Luo Feng decided not to beat around the bush seeing that Ai Zhaojiang did not seem to want to tell the truth. ¡°Professor Ai, is that shop yours?¡± ¡°Huh? What shop?¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s smile froze. This was the first time he was so annoyed with a smart junior. Can you not expose my good intentions in front of my granddaughter! Ai Zhaojiang roared in his heart, and his good impression of Luo Feng decreased a little. He had no choice but to smile at him even though he disliked him. Luo Feng chuckled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t hide it from us. Look at the landlord, he¡¯s sweating profusely. This seems to be a forced chance encounter.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was speechless. He really wanted to lie to cover up this matter, but he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Ai Tingya. Moreover, his mind went blank when he saw Ai Tingya. His 140 IQ went on strike. At this moment, the landlord stood up heroically and said, ¡°Aiya, Professor Ai, your habit of doing good deeds without leaving your name is still the same as before. Look, since the students have asked, tell the truth.¡± The landlord winked and gave a secret signal. Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s face was filled with ¡°What are you talking about?¡± The landlord could only continue to make up stories since the signal reception had failed. ¡°Professor Ai keeps a low profile, so let me do the talking. He heard that it was not easy for a student to start a business, so he wanted to help you, so he came to me!¡± Only then did Ai Zhaojiang react, nodding and echoing, ¡°Yes, yes! He¡¯s right!¡± Chapter 95 ?95 Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s Humble Way Of Helping Luo Feng raised his eyebrows suspiciously hearing the landlord and Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s explanation. ¡°Really?¡± The last time Ai Zhaojiang was questioned was at a teaching seminar. He stood on the stage and argued with the scholars and professors, making them speechless. At this moment, facing a mere freshman like Luo Feng, he felt guilty and needed to ask the landlord for help. How could he not want to tell the truth to Ai Tingya? How could he not want to wave his hand and point out the shop in a prime location to Ai Tingya? Even though the Ai family was not super rich, they had been from a scholarly family for generations and had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth. Even though the shop that Luo Feng and Tingya had their eyes on was not under the Ai family¡¯s name, they could still afford the penalty. The landlord was also quite polite on account of the professor. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true!¡± The landlord stood up to help. ¡°Can our Professor Ai trick you?¡± Luo Feng did not think that Ai Zhaojiang would trick them. It was just previously he tried to treat them to a meal and now he was trying to help them with the shop this time. Did Oxford University give new students such preferential treatment? Ai Zhaojiang raised his hand and gestured for the landlord to take out the contract. He spread it on the table and said to Ai Tingya, ¡°I¡¯ll vouch for you since we are here now. Sign the contract so that it won¡¯t be troublesome.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looked at each other. He still insisted on his previous decision. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Professor Ai. We¡¯ll find another shop ourselves.¡± The reason why Luo Feng did not take over was not only because he did not want to owe anyone a favor, but also because if the rent of the shop was lower, his returns would be even lesser! Luo Feng wanted to get more benefits and quickly invest in the next step. When Ai Zhaojiang heard this, his white eyebrows immediately dropped. Even someone like him with a golden tongue would be silent one day. ¡°Um¡­ Do you want to reconsider?¡± The landlord saw that Professor Ai was sad and tried to make up for it. Ai Tingya said seriously, ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, Professor Ai, but we want to rely on ourselves. This can also be considered a form of training.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was both happy and sad hearing his granddaughter speak to him. There was no need to mention how happy he was. He was sad because the more independent Ai Tingya became, the more he felt that he was a spare. Previously, he had been worried about Ai Tingya when he met with her. He, who had long retired, went to school every day to have a chance encounter with her and say a few more words to her. Ai Zhaojiang didn¡¯t see the two of them in school for a few days. Later, he found out from Professor Jing that the two of them were busy opening a shop. He also found out from Professor Jing that Ai Tingya and Luo Feng opened a milk tea shop in Crown City. Its business was very good and very popular. Ai Zhaojiang felt gratified and felt that he owed Ai Tingya. He hoped that Ai Tingya would be pampered and not have to suffer any hardships. She could just do what she liked. Therefore, he immediately used his connections to contact the shop and lowered the rent to the lowest. If possible, he wanted to book an entire street of shops for Tingya to choose from! Why did he have to lie one lie after another like now and be rejected so decisively? Ai Zhaojiang was dejected. His lowered eyes were like a stray dog that had been abandoned. The sadness of no longer being needed was obvious. Seeing this, the landlord felt that this was a good opportunity. ¡°Professor Ai, don¡¯t be sad. It¡¯s a good thing for students to be independent. Even though you spent a large sum of your retirement pension to compensate me and even though you spent two days thinking for me, it¡¯s fine. The students are all developing in a good direction, right?¡± Every word he said was like an arrow stabbing into Ai Tingya¡¯s heart. He began to sway from side to side and looked at Luo Feng with troubled eyes unable to bear it. Even though Luo Feng was in charge between the two of them, he took care of Ai Tingya¡¯s emotions. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m old and can¡¯t help easily¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang lamented. Ai Tingya was soft-hearted to begin with, so how could she listen to this? She widened her big eyes and looked at Luo Feng pitifully, hoping that he would think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Luo Feng looked at Ai Zhaojiang, who was pretending to be pitiful, speechlessly. How could a professor from a famous university with both fame and fortune be so glass-hearted? He didn¡¯t believe it anyway, but Ai Tingya did. If he rejected the old man¡¯s good intentions, Ai Tingya would probably be sad for a long time. Luo Feng rubbed his temples and compromised. ¡°Alright, Professor Ai, we can rent the shop, but we have to follow the original rent. Do you think this is suitable?¡± It was better for everyone to take a step back. Ai Zhaojiang looked at his granddaughter¡¯s worried face and was overjoyed when he heard that there was a way out. ¡°Alright, then you have to work harder.¡± Ai Zhaojiang smiled. She felt that her granddaughter was too ambitious! After negotiating the matter, the landlord changed the amount of the rent under the gaze of Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. The other conditions did not change, and Luo Feng readily signed his name. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ai Zhaojiang smiled and asked Ai Tingya, ¡°Student Ai must be hungry. The meat sauce noodles in this shop are very good. Let¡¯s try them together.¡± Even though Tingya felt that something was wrong, she couldn¡¯t bear to reject the old man. ¡°Let¡¯s sit at the same table if it isn¡¯t too much trouble for you.¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was overjoyed. He finally got the chance to eat with Ai Tingya. He was so excited that he asked for everything he felt was good. The small square table was almost full in just a few minutes. Luo Feng laughed. ¡°Professor Ai, you¡¯re too polite.¡± ¡°Is there anything you like?¡± Ai Zhaojiang snorted and asked Ai Tingya with a smile. Tingya was flattered. She nodded and felt that something was wrong, but then shook her head. In the end, she picked up the nearest cake and said, ¡°This is very good.¡± She cut off a piece and placed it in her mouth. Her bulging cheeks looked like a little hamster. Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s heart almost melted as he planned to buy a camera next time and record this precious scene! He had not been so happy since his son left home. Halfway through the meal, Ai Zhaojiang seized the opportunity and said, ¡°Student Ai, we¡¯re really fated. I¡¯ll call you Tingya in the future.¡± Ai Tingya nodded without objection. Luo Feng, who was holding half a bowl of noodles, acutely sensed a familiar smell. Why did he smell Mother Luo on Ai Zhaojiang? When he looked over, Ai Zhaojiang was indeed adding food to Ai Tingya¡¯s plate. His quick movements coincided with Mother Luo¡¯s actions of picking up food. Ai Tingya was not good at rejecting others¡¯ good intentions. She could only thank Ai Zhaojiang while chewing faster. Her puffed-up cheeks kept moving. She was simply too cute with her innocent gaze! Even the unrelated landlord was stunned. Luo Feng and Ai Zhaojiang revealed gentle expressions. Ai Zhaojiang glanced at Luo Feng silently. He felt that it was not good for such a cute granddaughter to be kidnapped by a brat. He was not so easy to fool as his granddaughter! Chapter 96 ?96 Why Is There Another Performance Competition? It was rare for Ai Zhaojiang to be able to eat with Ai Tingya. He had emptied his stomach to find a topic to talk about. However, this was only the second time the two of them had officially met. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t know what to talk about so her reaction was always faint. ¡°I remember that you ranked second in the province. How impressive.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was very proud and wanted to hear the story of Ai Tingya studying hard. Ai Tingya put down the soup bowl and said, ¡°Thank you for your praise. There¡¯s still a lot of room for improvement in my results. I¡¯ll continue to work hard.¡± She really felt that Ai Zhaojiang was being polite to her. He was a professor from a top university after all and usually came into contact with either guaranteed admissions or top scholars. She, who was second place, was really not worthy of praise. Ai Tingya picked up the soup bowl again after giving a formal answer. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang felt a little awkward. It was a rare opportunity, but he didn¡¯t want to give it up. He tried his best to find something to say. ¡°What kind of movies does Tingya usually like to watch? There¡¯s a very good movie theater nearby. If you¡¯re free, you can go take a look.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Professor Ai. I¡¯ve only been to a cinema once before,¡± Ai Tingya said honestly. Luo Feng had brought her there once. After that, Ai Tingya felt that the ticket price was too expensive and had never gone there a second time. Ai Zhaojiang was speechless. He felt that he had really made a terrible start. He had no experience with his granddaughter. He had only heard from his old friends of the same generation that young people liked to chase after trends. The best place to date was the cinema. However, Ai Tingya had grown up in an orphanage and barely had enough food to eat. The cinema was too extravagant. The more Ai Zhaojiang chatted, the sadder he became. In the end, he began to doubt his life. At this moment, he was a little grateful to Luo Feng and muttered softly, ¡°From the looks of it, Luo Feng is indeed not bad.¡± For some reason, these words floated into Ai Tingya¡¯s ears. She, who had been lowering her head and chewing slowly, swallowed the food in her mouth in two bites and said excitedly, ¡°That¡¯s right! Luo Feng is really good! Professor Ai, you¡¯ve also realized, right? Anyone who comes into contact with Luo Feng thinks he¡¯s very outstanding!¡± Ai Zhaojiang had mixed feelings facing his suddenly happy granddaughter, but he had no choice but to accept this fact. ¡°Luo Feng is really smart to be able to become the top scholar in a year. He¡¯s very talented in his studies!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! And he¡¯s very hardworking! He studies until late every night. I feel that it¡¯s very tough just looking at him.¡± Wait, how did you know that he studies until very late? Ai Zhaojiang roared in his heart, but he couldn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°Student Luo Feng is also a talent.¡± ¡°Professor Ai, you have such good taste!¡± ¡°Student Luo Feng started doing business at such a young age. He¡¯s quite impressive.¡± ¡°Professor Ai, you¡¯re right. Luo Feng is especially business-minded!¡± After chatting for a while, Ai Zhaojiang praised Luo Feng against his will. Ai Tingya¡¯s reaction was very enthusiastic. When it came to Ai Tingya herself, her reaction was as cold as tofu soup. Ai Zhaojiang did not manage to find out about Ai Tingya¡¯s situation, but he heard a lot about Luo Feng. He really did not want to know what Luo Feng had done at all! However, Ai Zhaojiang had no choice but to go along with her since his granddaughter was deeply in love. After dinner, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had other things to do and hurriedly bade farewell to Ai Zhaojiang. In the next few days, the two of them took advantage of the time to contact the renovation company again and buy renovation materials. Fortunately, there was a ready-made blueprint that saved Luo Feng a lot of time. The prices here were several times higher than in Crown City. Luo Feng spent a total of three million yuan to settle the matter. In the past, Luo Feng felt that staring at the renovation was a very boring thing. He did not have to do anything but could not leave. He would easily feel sleepy when he stared at all the knocking. It was different now. Ai Zhaojiang would always appear on time when Tingya appeared at the renovation venue. Luo Feng felt that Ai Zhaojiang might have a dog¡¯s nose and could always accurately track Ai Tingya¡¯s scent. Sometimes, he wouldn¡¯t be able to see Ai Zhaojiang if he came alone, but if Ai Tingya was around, Ai Zhaojiang would quickly arrive. On this day, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were discussing renovation at the door when a familiar figure appeared on time. Ai Zhaojiang was holding a small box of cream cakes with a chubby little rabbit on it. He walked over with a smile. ¡°What a coincidence to meet you again.¡± Ai Zhaojiang handed the cake to Tingya and said, ¡°Tingya, this cake is delicious. Try it.¡± After a few days of interaction, Ai Tingya was no longer as reserved as before, but she still did not want to take her things for free. She was about to wave her hand to refuse but Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s face fell first. The little old man said aggrievedly, ¡°I see that other girls like to eat it. Tingya, do you not like sweets? Then I¡¯ll change to another one next time. Do you like nuts?¡± Her aggrieved look was too much like an abandoned stray dog. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart was already soft, let alone the kindness of a kind elder. She quickly took the cake and said, ¡°I like cake. Thank you, Professor Ai. This is the most exquisite cake I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was satisfied. ¡°Try it.¡± Ai Tingya opened it and took a bite. She let out a happy nasal sound and eagerly scooped another spoonful. She nodded and gave him a thumbs up, constantly praising the cake. Luo Feng was certain that Ai Zhaojiang had looked at him provocatively just now. Coupled with the satisfaction after feeding her, he seemed to have seen his mother¡¯s shadow in Ai Zhaojiang. Originally, he thought that he would be able to obtain Tingya¡¯s favor alone after leaving Crown City. Unexpectedly, another competitor cropped up. Was Luo Feng the kind of person who would admit defeat so easily? He walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side and said gently, ¡°Tingya, is the cake delicious?¡± Ai Tingya nodded repeatedly and handed over a spoon. ¡°It¡¯s really fragrant. Try it.¡± Luo Feng raised his hand and plucked the cream foam from the corner of Ai Tingya¡¯s mouth. Then, he placed it in his mouth and nodded in agreement. ¡°It¡¯s indeed very sweet.¡± This sentence was clearly about the cake, but it was actually referring to Ai Tingya. ¡°¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s expression was blank. He could only watch as the brat teased his granddaughter. Most importantly, Ai Tingya enjoyed it. She fed half of the cake to Luo Feng while blushing. ¡°That¡¯s so tasteless. Eat this.¡± Luo Feng took a bite and did not forget to raise his eyebrows at Professor Ai. His gaze seemed to be saying, ¡°Did you see that? Tingya still likes me the most.¡± Ai Zhaojiang stomped his feet in anger. He made another note of Luo Feng in the small account book. He will settle scores slowly with this kid in the future! ¡°It¡¯s delicious. Thank you, Tingya.¡± Luo Feng swallowed the cake and did not forget to wheedle with Ai Tingya. There were people coming and going on the street. Ai Tingya was a little embarrassed and said weakly, ¡°Thank you, Professor Ai.¡± Chapter 97 ?97 You Look Too Good In These Clothes. Stay Away From Us Luo Feng and Ai Zhaojiang were at loggerheads. They were fighting for favor from Ai Tingya and performing in front of her every day. However, Luo Feng was still winning. Ai Tingya liked him after all. Moreover, the two of them could stick together every day when they left the dormitory building. No matter how diligent Zhaojiang was, he could only pretend to meet her at the shop or school. He could not guard the dormitory building. But soon, an opportunity that only Ai Zhaojiang could help appeared! Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s military training was about to begin in two weeks. The strict military management filled up their schedule every day, and they were almost not allowed to move freely. The two of them couldn¡¯t come out to supervise the work anymore. Ai Zhaojiang volunteered to come and help every day. The renovation team that Luo Feng found was often in charge of the renovation of the shops in the mall. They had more or less heard of Ai Zhaojiang. They were not afraid of them playing tricks with the old professor there everyday. Ai Tingya and Luo Feng could also receive training in school without worry. ¡­ The day before the military training, the freshmen had to go to the school cathedral to receive the same military training uniform. Luo Feng went with his roommates. Other than Hao Yingqiang, who was slightly fatter, the other three were about the same size. Originally, the four of them were filled with anticipation. Every man had a soldier¡¯s dream and looked forward to wearing handsome camouflage clothes everyday. However, as soon as they received the clothes, half of their dream was shattered. The other half would also shatter when they opened the packaging in the dormitory. The material of the school¡¯s military training uniform was very poor. The short-sleeved jacket was smooth. Not only was it very thin and transparent, but it also did not absorb sweat at all. It might be similar to a see-through shirt if not for the dark color as a cover. The pants were more like a piece of paper with thick stitches. The pants that Ali had obtained were still a little unstitched, so he had to process them himself. Most importantly, they had a pungent smell of starch. The pampered Yang Bo collapsed on the spot. ¡°Can this thing be called clothes?¡± Even the material of his personal clothes was more delicate than these two pieces of cloth! The other three were not as picky as him but they did not dare to praise this military uniform. Then, he looked at the pair of hard-soled rubber shoes. They were the cheapest kind. It was as if he was stepping on a hard paper shell when using them. If he stood in a military posture with these shoes, he would probably get blisters on the first day. It was completely different from the tall military boots they had imagined. However, no matter how much they despised it, they had to wear this set of clothes for two weeks. They had to try it on no matter what. The three of them put it on. The rough fabric made their skin itch. The inferior leather belt split into layers as soon as it was buckled. Yang Bo and the other two felt like they were wearing a woven bag. He didn¡¯t know how to differentiate the sizes, but the clothes he obtained would be two sizes larger. ¡°Fortunately, we only need to wear them in school. You might as well kill me if you want me to wear them to the streets.¡± Ali complained. He didn¡¯t care much about the people who were wearing this set of clothes usually. They were very dissatisfied with it, let alone Yang Bo. He didn¡¯t want to wear it for another second. Yang Bo took off his clothes and said, ¡°If my mother saw this outfit, she would definitely think that I was trafficked.¡± Hao Yingqiang was a little fat. His loose and stiff clothes made him look like a balloon man opening a new shop. The three of them looked at each other in silence. Being ugly together might be the only comfort. At this moment, Luo Feng, who was dressed, walked over and reminded them, ¡°I think it should be a little softer after washing it once. Take advantage of the hot weather and dry it tomorrow morning. Which one of you wants to wash it first?¡± This was his experience from his previous life¡¯s military training. Even though the schools they attended were different, the military training uniforms were all sloppy. Luo Feng even suspected that there was a uniform standard that stipulated the production lower limit of the military training uniforms. Washing it could remove the dust and excess dye on it. At least it wouldn¡¯t irritate the skin. The three of them nodded in agreement. When they turned around, their three faces were stunned. They were clearly wearing the same clothes, so why was it different when it came from people? When Luo Feng saw the three of them looking at him, he thought that he was wearing the wrong clothes. He put the hem back into the waistband of his pants, making him look full of energy. His handsome face really looked like a soldier. ¡°Is there something on my face?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. ¡°Why are you guys looking at me?¡± Yang Bo muttered, ¡°Fortunately, we¡¯re not in the same class. Don¡¯t get too close to me.¡± Luo Feng was already handsome in his military training uniform. Coupled with the three of them as a contrast, he would be extremely handsome! Yang Bo admitted that he was not bad-looking either. In the end, he could only categorize the difference as clothes. Yes! His clothes must have lowered his standards! The four of them looked at each other. Yang Bo and the other two looked away unwillingly, feeling that they had completely lost to Luo Feng! ¡­ The military training phalanx was divided according to class, but Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were in different classes and were not together. The sun was high in the sky. It was as hot as a light in the oven. After standing for ten minutes, he felt like he had been fished out of water. His clothes were wet and dried. As soon as the students and instructors met, they were given a 15-minute military meal. Even though he was an instructor, other than the chief instructor who was slightly older and was a military school student about the same age as Luo Feng, he had to establish his prestige. He did not hesitate to give orders. The freshman stood under the hot sun with his chest puffed out and his head raised. His sweat left a watermark. It was itchy like an ant crawling past, but he could not scratch it. It was really very painful. The students standing on the field were talents selected from various high schools. They were all treasures in their parents¡¯ hands. They were sent to school and picked up from work. If they rubbed their fingers, they would be sent to the hospital immediately. They had never been under the sun for so long. ¡°Everyone, rest!¡± Just as the students thought that the instructor was merciful and lay on the ground, The instructor said, ¡°Battle formation!¡± They had to stand up again before their butts touched the grass. The students were at a loss, not knowing what the instructor meant. They stood in the line loosely and were very impatient. ¡°Rest!¡± ¡°Form up!¡± ¡°Rest!¡± Three or four times in a row, the students were like elevators. They sat down and stood up. After lying down, they stood up again. No one dared to lose their temper. After all, the instructor was the most powerful now. If they dared to talk back, they would stand in a military posture. All the students were angry but did not dare to say anything. They felt bitter. Only Luo Feng understood that the instructor was torturing their minds. The military management was in place now, and obedience was the only order. Therefore, his every rest was half a beat slower. Luo Feng was already standing while the other students were complaining. ¡°Alright, rest,¡± the instructor said seriously. This time, no student dared to move, afraid that the instructor would joke again. Only Luo Feng sat on the ground and took off his hat to fan himself. The students beside him laughed gloatingly, waiting to see him get up in a sorry state alone. Unexpectedly, the instructor said, ¡°What are you waiting for? Don¡¯t you want to rest? Then stand for a while more.¡± When the students heard this, they sat on the ground and seized every minute to rest. Chapter 98 ?98 Senior Sister Is Looking For A Date, Ah No, Giving Warmth The military training honed the students¡¯ willpower, and the focus was on the word ¡°honing¡±! Standing in a military posture was only the first step of training their willpower. The students rested for a few minutes before they were called onto their feet by the instructor again. This time, they stood upright. Their knees were together, and their fingers were pressed tightly against the seam of their pants. If they saw anyone slacking off, the instructor would even put a piece of paper in between places that should be together for the students. If it fell, the time where they had to stand in this position would be extended. During this period, some of the weaker students felt uncomfortable and would be helped out by others. If they were lucky enough to get a leave slip, they could join the injured and ill company. They could rest in a corner of the rostrum and watch the other students suffer. The only bad thing was that their military training results could only be stuck at the passing mark. When the weak students were carried out, a few boys in casual clothes carried watermelons into the field. They were second-year seniors. They found a shady place and sat on the ground to eat the watermelons as if no one was around under the surprised gazes of the students. The freshmen were already tired and thirsty. The students could not help but swallow their saliva when they saw the cool water droplets on the iced watermelon skin, the fresh and juicy crimson melon flesh, and the sound of the seniors slurping on melons. The seniors were still chatting as if nothing had happened. ¡°Xiong Hai, this watermelon is too sweet. Why is it so sweet!¡± A brown-haired senior with a characteristic Z cut beside his ear had juice dripping from his mouth. His voice was a little loud. The person called Xiong Hai said, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the good tradition of our school. You don¡¯t know, but I saw a few seniors eating watermelons last year. It made me dream of watermelons. Ockham, don¡¯t tell me. This watermelon is really sweet.¡± The two of them had satisfied smiles on their faces. Even the instructor could not help but look at them eating. The students looked at the two seniors¡¯ actions of attracting aggro and had already thought of how to write the ¡°kill order¡±. Since the seniors cherished the new students so much, they had to repay them well! Luo Feng was as still as a mountain, as if he didn¡¯t see the two of them. Because in his previous life, he did the same thing after he became a sophomore. It seems that the traditions of every school are similar, so there¡¯s nothing strange about it. He did not look at the two of them. Luo Feng focused on thinking about where to bring Ai Tingya for dinner in order to distract himself. The students beside him saw Luo Feng¡¯s calm eyes and felt that this person¡¯s willpower was so strong that he was actually unmoved? The instructor also noticed this steady student. When he was patrolling, he couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances at Luo Feng, his eyes filled with admiration. The two seniors finished half of the watermelon and threw the melon skin to the side. They propped themselves up on the ground and burped. Xiong Hai patted his round stomach and said, ¡°The aggro is drawn. They should rest. Let¡¯s go quickly. It won¡¯t be good if we¡¯re surrounded.¡± Last year, an overly proud senior was surrounded by angry first-year students and had a friendly exchange with him. Countless hands were tickling his armpits. The unlucky senior laughed until his voice was hoarse for a few days. He publicized not to provoke the first-year students whenever he saw them and was tickled into a psychological trauma. Ockham wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of his mouth and said, ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go¡­ Look who that is.¡± After seeing the other party¡¯s face clearly, Xiong Hai was amused. ¡°Hehe, Meng Xu, didn¡¯t you say you wouldn¡¯t come? You even brought iced Coke? You¡¯re so much more ruthless than us!¡± Meng Xu was the student who took the lead in sanctioning the senior last year. This year, he became a senior. Originally, he did not want to continue this strange tradition, but for some reason, he brought Coke. Meng Xu looked at the two of them in disdain. ¡°I¡¯m different from you. I¡¯m here to send warmth, ah no, coolness.¡± A red-haired senior in a white dress walked over slowly with a parasol. She was tall and curvy. She was not very beautiful, but her every move was very charming. The students¡¯ gazes followed her wherever she went. Meng Xu went up to her obsequiously. ¡°President, you¡¯re here. The coke has been moved over!¡± The red-haired senior smiled. ¡°Thank you.¡± Xiong Hai and Ockham were dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t this Alice, the President of the publicity department of the Psychology Faculty? She was publicly acknowledged as a beauty and was extremely popular, especially with the opposite sex. It was rumored that she would receive a school bag full of love letters every day even though she has a boyfriend. There were countless boys who gave her flowers. The fragrance of the flowers on her dormitory building had never stopped. Xiong Hai and Ockham were also one of the admirers. They stared at Alice. Alice noticed these gazes. Not only did she not feel troubled, but she also enjoyed them. Being the center of attention in the crowd had become her habit, like breathing. ¡°Send it to our new members. They must be exhausted,¡± Alice said with a faint smile. The recruitment of the student unions of the various departments had long ended. As the President of the publicity department, Alice naturally had to come and comfort her juniors. Meng Xu was the Vice President of the publicity department and Alice¡¯s most loyal fan. Alice¡¯s words were like an imperial edict. Meng Xu picked up the cool iced Coke and looked for his members one by one without another word. The students from the other faculties were so envious that they drooled and wished they could change faculty on the spot. There were many majors in Oxford, and almost every faculty had a student union. The campus was their competition ground. They secretly competed with each other. Alice could now publicize the humane reputation of the Psychology Student Union. The students who had participated in the other student unions looked forward to seeing their seniors appear at the edge of the field. A few sweet-talking and bold students ran to Alice and praised her. They asked for a bottle of iced Coke and swallowed them in big mouthfuls. They sighed happily. ¡°Alice, it¡¯s a little sunny here. It¡¯s cooler over there.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. Leave the lifting of such heavy drinks to us boys. Go over first.¡± Xiong Hai and Ockham seized the opportunity to curry favor. Alice smiled and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± She was already used to being flattered by the boys. She did not have to do anything herself as long as she smiled at them. Alice was very satisfied with the current situation. The only pity was that the three people who helped were not handsome. She did not come to the field just to care for the members. She had dated her classmates and seniors. It was not easy for her to find a fresh junior. Of course, she had to find a handsome man. At this moment, a handsome man in the square formation who was in a daze attracted Alice¡¯s attention. Luo Feng was thinking about what to eat for dinner when a slender shadow blocked the sunlight. Chapter 99 ?99 Internal Affairs Reorganization Is Too Difficult For A Man Alice sheltered Luo Feng with half of the umbrella while holding a bottle of dripping cold Coke dripping in her hand. ¡°Junior, have a bottle of Coke to moisten your throat.¡± Alice revealed her signature smile. It was like the wind blowing through the flowers. A fragrance assaulted the others, making them feel intoxicated. The envious and jealous gazes from the surroundings almost drowned Luo Feng. Especially Xiong Hai and Ockham, they were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground. Let alone the fact that Luo Feng wasn¡¯t from the psychology faculty but the finance faculty. They¡¯ve never seen Alice take the initiative to be friendly with a guy. It was mainly because Alice had an alluring temperament. The person she liked would be willing to become her boyfriend with just one look. There was no need for practical actions. Recently, the news of Alice¡¯s breakup had spread like wildfire in the department. More than half of the boys in the psychology faculty felt that they had a chance. They surrounded Alice everyday like bees around a queen bee. In the end, she had taken a fancy to a freshman. Once this news was out, there would probably be many more sad people in the psychology faculty. Alice actually didn¡¯t want to be too proactive with boys, because her specialty was to welcome and reject, so she wasn¡¯t very familiar with using straight balls. However, Luo Feng was too handsome! All the boyfriends she had dated in the past would actually make a move with one glance from her. Alice had never felt that breaking up was so right. She had met the right person and had to take him down today. ¡°My name is Alice. Junior, what¡¯s your name?¡± Alice said gently. Luo Feng looked at Cola, then at Alice, but he didn¡¯t take it. Alice waited until her hands were sore and her smile froze. She didn¡¯t understand why Luo Feng wasn¡¯t taking her things. Could it be that she wasn¡¯t charming enough? Or was her junior shy? The other students looked at him eagerly and roared in their hearts, ¡°Are you going to take it? If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll take it!¡± Luo Feng said politely, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior, but it¡¯s not convenient for me to receive your drink.¡± Alice was surprised. ¡°Why?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°I already have a girlfriend. It¡¯s not good to receive a drink from another girl.¡± Alice did not believe that. The position of a girlfriend was a competition before marriage! There was no man she could not flirt with! Not to mention such a handsome junior! ¡°Who is it!¡± Alice blurted out. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± A pleasant voice like a nightingale sounded. Ai Tingya stood outside the square with a bottle of mineral water in her hand. The first-year students had not seen much of the world. They thought that Alice was already very beautiful, but they did not expect Ai Tingya to be even more beautiful. Moreover, she was stunning at a glance, and is the kind of beauty that unified everyone¡¯s aesthetics. Ai Tingya was no longer the shy girl who did not dare to speak loudly. She walked straight to the two of them and smiled with the aura of the Empress. ¡°Thank you for your kindness, Senior.¡± Alice felt a little embarrassed. She was surprised to find that she actually had stage fright in front of her junior. She could only smile awkwardly to hide her guilt. She handed the water to Ai Tingya. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t like it, then you can drink it.¡± She did not know why she was acting like a thief. After shoving the coke to Ai Tingya, she hugged her parasol and fled. Ai Tingya looked down at Luo Feng and pouted, indicating for him to follow her. The two of them found a shady place to rest. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Luo Feng took the initiative to take Ai Tingya¡¯s mineral water and asked as he drank, ¡°I remember your training area is a little far from here.¡± Ai Tingya said, ¡°We have a lot of girls and the instructors are good. They give us more time to rest.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Really? I think it¡¯s sweet and cold.¡± His lips were like the taste of normal mineral water every day, ¡°Our Tingya is elegant and has a sweet-tongue, hmm~ Why do I detect sourness again?¡± ¡°Hmph, screw you.¡± Ai Tingya pouted and leaned her head on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder. Not far away, Xiong Hai and Ockham felt a faint chill in their hearts when they saw this scene. Was the watermelon they had just eaten too cold? Why did they feel a little uncomfortable? The two of them covered their chests and took a long time to react. What hurt was the heart, not the stomach. Meng Xu did not see his goddess when he returned after distributing the cola, so he walked to Xiong Hai and Ockham. ¡°There are still two bottles left. I¡¯ll give them to you. Speaking of which, where¡¯s the President?¡± Xiong Hai¡¯s voice was a little weathered. ¡°No matter how sweet coke is, can it be compared to mineral water filled with love?¡± Meng Xu thought that he had misheard. Why was he reciting a poem out of the blue? Eating watermelon and feeling depressed? The two of them walked past him with an inexplicable determination. Meng Xu asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to study!¡± Xiong Hai was enlightened. ¡°My looks are not good, but I have to at least have some talent!¡± Meng Xu scratched his head and suddenly felt deep veneration for the two of them. ¡­ Oxford¡¯s military training was strictly reflected in all aspects, including organizing internal affairs. Every student had to undergo a strict inspection. Luo Feng had participated in military training before and was familiar with instructing his roommates on how to place their toiletries and how to deal with table hygiene. He had to make sure the four tables were exactly the same so that they would look completely clean visually. However, Luo Feng scratched his head when it came to folding the blanket. In his previous life, he also participated in military training, but at that time, the school¡¯s management was relatively loose. Luo Feng just happened to escape because the check was by drawing lots. He saw the instructor demonstrate the method of folding the blanket. His theoretical foundation was very solid but he knew nothing about practical application. In addition, the blanket he bought himself was of the best quality. It was extremely soft and could not be straightened no matter how hard he tried. This handiwork was difficult for a hero. The four of them walked around the dormitory like ants on a hot pan. ¡°What should we do? The instructor and counselor are coming for a checkup. I think they¡¯re already on the first floor!¡± At home, Yang Bo was a young master who did not work hard on his limbs and could not distinguish between five grains. There was no need for the young master to do anything with just a blanket. If not for the fact that the school did not allow it, his family would have sent a nanny to accompany him. Hao Yingqiang ran downstairs to investigate the situation and returned with an anxious expression. ¡°Someone¡¯s blanket was thrown off the balcony. They¡¯re practicing on the platform downstairs! How embarrassing!¡± ¡°Quickly think of something!¡± The usually calm Ali was also anxious. Luo Feng bit his thumb. He actually fumbled in front of a blanket with his extremely high IQ? The four of them thought that the checkup had arrived, and their hearts instantly rose to their throats. ¡°Luo Feng, are you there?¡± Ai Ling pushed open the door a crack and asked softly. When he opened the door, he realized that she was hugging a blanket. It was summer, so Luo Feng felt that Ai Tingya definitely wouldn¡¯t feel cold. He pulled her into the house and said, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Ai Tingya smiled proudly. ¡°Auntie told me that you don¡¯t know how to fold the blanket. Of course I¡¯m here to help you.¡± Luo Feng was speechless. Why did his mother tell her everything? Chapter 100 ?100 It¡¯s Too Much To Bring A Virtuous Housewife To School! ¡°I came to help you and fold your blanket,¡± Ai Tingya said considerately. Luo Feng was so touched that he hugged her for a long time, unwilling to let go. Why did he fall for Xing Miaomiao instead in his previous life?! The other three were even more shocked. Why was there external help even when he was folding the blanket?! We¡¯re all going to school, so why are you bringing your family members?! Are you bullying the three of us single dogs?! The three of them were so envious that sparks were about to fly, they wished they could kick Luo Feng¡¯s butt and expel him from the dormitory so that they wouldn¡¯t be forced to eat dog food every day. But now that they had something to ask of him, they had no choice but to endure it. Luo Feng grabbed his girlfriend¡¯s shoulder and laughed. ¡°It¡¯s fine. They¡¯ll get used to it sooner or later!¡± Get used to it my foot %£¤#*! Yang Bo and the other two really wanted to curse. Ai Tingya walked in and realized that Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory was spotless. Even the floor was so clean that it was reflective. She placed Luo Feng¡¯s blanket on the ground in relief. She first crushed the edge of the blanket repeatedly and realized that Luo Feng¡¯s blanket was too soft and difficult to form. She sprinkled some water and continued to crush it back and forth. Finally, a ridged edge appeared. It was really not easy. Ai Tingya wiped the sweat off her forehead and continued to deal with the other side. The steps of folding the blanket were very simple. It was almost like repeating a few movements. It was the best test of patience. Luo Feng could not help and could only fan her with heartache. About 10 minutes later, a square piece of tofu appeared in front of the four of them. Ai Tingya wiped her sweat and said happily, ¡°It¡¯s finally done! If I had known that your blanket was so soft, I would have used the blanket I brought to fold it into a tofu-shape.¡± Only then did the four of them remember why Ai Tingya came to the boys¡¯ dormitory with her own blanket. They immediately revealed fanciful smiles. Seeing this, Ai Tingya blushed and explained, ¡°No, do you want to fold tofu cubes every morning?¡± She picked up the blanket she had brought and said, ¡°Of course I¡¯ll put the tofu aside and cover the other bed!¡± Luo Feng clapped and cheered, ¡°My voice is nice and elegant. You¡¯re too thoughtful!¡± He finally understood why every successful man had a virtuous wife behind him. It was because a partner with tacit understanding would help you think of the details and fill in the gaps. ¡°No, I just happen to have more blankets.¡± Ai Tingya was embarrassed by the praise. The three people beside him did not feel that they were unnecessary when they saw their happy faces. It was a mistake for them to stay in the dormitory. Seeing that Yang Bo and the others¡¯ expressions were not good, Luo Feng asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you lack blankets too?¡± Yang Bo and the other two felt bitter in their hearts. What they lacked was not a blanket, but love! It was hot, warm, and beautiful love! Damn it, other people¡¯s love was always so damn sweet. And they still had to worry about a tattered blanket. ¡°Have you learned it?¡± Ai Tingya smiled. Luo Feng said confidently, ¡°Yes!¡± This time, he was still learning theoretical knowledge. After the blanket was folded, he would not have to do it himself if he could last until the end of the military training. The other three rolled their eyes at him, wondering if there was any difference. Why were you talking so loudly! Yang Bo took out a can of coffee from the drawer and said eagerly, ¡°We¡¯re not outsiders. I¡¯ll call you Tingya. You won¡¯t mind, right?¡± Ai Tingya shook her head. ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng felt a little strange. Why did it sound like a prelude to a confession? He felt like his cabbage had been locked onto. ¡°Tingya!¡± Yang Bo and Hao Yingqiang said solemnly, ¡°Please guide us to fold the blanket!¡± Ali also clasped his hands together as if he was praying. ¡°Ha¡­¡± Ai Tingya was shocked. ¡°Of course. Then let¡¯s start quickly.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, alright. Quickly make room for Teacher Ai. Wait for me to set up a phone to record a teaching video!¡± Yang Bo took out his imported phone and aimed it at Ai Tingya. Of course, it was impossible for Ai Tingya to fold four blankets in a row. Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached for Ai Tingya¡¯s tender hands! Moreover, the instructor and counselor had already checked the second floor. They could only do it themselves. Ai Tingya guided them from the side. The three blankets were quickly folded. Other than the fact that Hao Yingqiang¡¯s folding was a little soft, Ali and Yang Bo¡¯s folding was very good, especially Yang Bo¡¯s. He did not know how to do housework, but he knew how to do handicrafts. He really folded like a tofu block. ¡°The instructor is coming up. I have to go first.¡± Seeing that it was about time, Ai Tingya hurriedly bade farewell. Luo Feng wanted to send her downstairs, but the instructor and counselor had already walked to the other corridor and walked into the first dormitory. Fortunately, Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory was in the middle. Otherwise, Ai Tingya would not have been able to leave. After a while, grievances in a tizzy came from the corridor. ¡°Even dogs fold better than you!¡± ¡°Ah! My blanket!¡± ¡°With your feet? What are your hands for? Overlap!¡± ¡°Instructor, don¡¯t throw it!¡± ¡°Do you see the dust here? Are they here to vent their anger?¡± ¡°Wipe it right away!¡± New flower-colored blankets kept flying downstairs, making a huge commotion that frightened the dormitory behind them. They checked the hygiene again and again. The instructor walked to Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory with an angry expression. The four of them were already standing in front of their respective windows, holding their heads high and waiting to be inspected. Their strict attitude made the instructor¡¯s anger subside slightly. He walked into the dormitory with his hands behind his back and a serious expression on his face. He looked around and left without saying anything. The counselor behind him gave the dormitory a thumbs up. ¡°This is the neatest dormitory I¡¯ve ever seen with the best blanket folded. You¡¯re also the only dormitory where the instructor didn¡¯t flare up. Keep it up!¡± The counselor thought highly of them. It turned out that the stern instructor was already praising him if he did not teach him a lesson. The four of them looked at each other and smiled. This round was considered over. ¡°Luo Feng, my brother! It¡¯s all thanks to you!¡± ¡°Thank you so much. I will definitely repay you!¡± Hao Yingqiang and Ali stood on each side and praised Luo Feng in various ways. Yang Bo pretended to be aloof as he leaned against his table. He flipped through the video he had just taken and kept sighing about someone else¡¯s love. He touched his meticulous hairstyle like a daffodil. He was so handsome. Why didn¡¯t he even have a partner? He was not inferior to Luo Feng other than his looks and studies. Why didn¡¯t he meet a good girl? Young men¡¯s feelings were always springtime. He couldn¡¯t help but take a screenshot of Ai Tingya and Luo Feng looking at each other tacitly. Then, he posted it on the school forum and captioned, ¡°Another day hit by someone else¡¯s love. When will I meet my true love?¡± Originally, he was just casually complaining. Yang Bo¡¯s post became popular 10 minutes after the post was posted unexpectedly! Chapter 101 ?101 Yang Bo¡¯s Unintentional Mistake Sent Sister-in-law To The Hot Search! The sparks that Yang Bo had unintentionally dropped quickly burned through the entire forum. After checking the internal affairs, it was time to gather. It was inconvenient to bring his phone during military training, so he simply stayed in the dormitory. When he returned at dinner time and saw a notification of 99+ reply on the forum, Yang Bo¡¯s eyes almost popped out. He had a bad feeling and opened the forum shakily. The forum designated his post with this eye-catching red mark behind his butt. This was a special treatment that would only happen when the discussion reached a certain number. He clicked on it and saw that Ai Tingya was holding the blanket in her hand and handing it to Luo Feng. From the side, she looked like a painting and was exceptionally gentle. Her loving eyes seemed to be filled with water, making one¡¯s heart melt. Both of them were perfect-looking. Any part of Yang Bo¡¯s photos were artistic. ¡°Previous poster, I understand you. I¡¯m so jealous just looking at the photos.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t exchange the blanket for a love token, right? Why are you smiling so gently?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you don¡¯t understand. Life¡¯s daily necessities are the most virtuous. One look and you can tell that she¡¯s a good girl who runs a family.¡± ¡°I wish I could meet my destined girl and get married online. Anyone who¡¯s interested can private message me.¡± ¡°The poster is a good person. May I ask which faculty this junior is from?¡± Ai Tingya became famous at a speed visible to the naked eye with just a screenshot of the video. Yang Bo did not know how to explain it to Luo Feng. He thought that it was just a photo and the popularity would pass quickly. He deceived himself and covered his phone, deciding to settle dinner first. When he returned, the number of comments and replies had already exceeded 700. There were also private messages asking about Ai Tingya. The decline in popularity that Yang Bo had hoped for did not happen. In fact, other than his ¡°casual post¡±, the other posts below were also discussing Ai Tingya. Yang Bo immediately panicked. After all, he had posted the photo online without Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s permission. He swallowed and walked towards Luo Feng. ¡°Luo Feng¡­ There¡¯s something¡­ I don¡¯t know how to tell you¡­¡± Luo Feng put down the book in his hand and found it strange that he was hesitating. He had lived with his three roommates for more than a week. Yang Bo was loyal and generous. Other than being a little arrogant, he did not discover any other problems. He suddenly stammered, surprising Luo Feng. Yang Bo said guiltily, ¡°Your girlfriend is probably popular now.¡± ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng did not understand. Where did she become popular? Yang Bo turned on his phone and handed it over. Only then did Luo Feng realize that Yang Bo was not exaggerating at all. Seeing that the poster was pretending to be dead, the nosy netizens volunteered to dig up information about Ai Tingya¡¯s identity. After all, Ai Tingya was really good-looking. The number of heads turning when she walked on campus was 100%. Soon, some finance students posted the information. ¡°The girl is a freshman in our faculty. Her name is Ai Tingya. She already has a boyfriend. Everyone, disperse.¡± This sentence did not end the popularity of the post. Instead, it pushed the matter to a new climax. The students came up with a new theory¡ª Does the flower belong to the owner of the vase if it¡¯s taken away? No! You can take the vase with you! The result was the same. Luo Feng¡¯s information was turned upside down. Even the color of the blanket was explained in detail. Yang Bo stood at the side with his head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished by his parents. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Luo Feng. I shouldn¡¯t have posted Tingya¡¯s¡­ Ah no, Sister-in-law¡¯s photo online. I didn¡¯t expect it to become popular so easily!¡± Yang Bo apologized. When Luo Feng heard this slightly familiar line, he felt that Yang Bo should be very talented as a self-media or Internet promoter in the future. Unfortunately, there were still a few years before the Internet rose. He had no special thoughts on this matter, or he had expected it. Be it in her previous life or this life, the light that Ai Tingya shone with could not be ignored. Even if the public did not notice her today, she would still become the focus of the entire school in the future because of something. The only thing that surprised Luo Feng was why he was implicated while Ai Tingya was popular. He generously felt that it was a happy thing for others to praise his beautiful girlfriend. Everyone loved beauty after all. But what did it mean that they were irreconcilable with him? Luo Feng continued to scroll down. Most of the posts were flattering and happy. There were always a few discordant voices in the harmonious atmosphere. Luo Feng clearly saw a post called ¡°Ai Tingya is everyone¡¯s Ai Tingya. Luo Feng is immoral!¡± From the bottom, sparks flew all the way to the top few. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, I don¡¯t believe it! Such a beautiful girl is in a relationship at such a young age. Quickly tell me that the man is just a normal classmate!¡± ¡°I regret graduating too early. Can you help me contact the repeaters?¡± ¡°Senior, it¡¯s useless even if you¡¯re here. She has a boyfriend and he¡¯s indeed not bad-looking. He¡¯s worthy of the goddess.¡± ¡°Previous poster, shut up!!! The goddess is everyone¡¯s goddess. Those who monopolize the goddess have to be punished!¡± ¡°As long as I don¡¯t see it, the goddess doesn¡¯t have a boyfriend.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s smile gradually disappeared seeing these half-truths. If he was praising someone, so be it. Why was he always thinking of poaching someone? Moreover, he didn¡¯t even have a name anymore and directly became ¡°that man¡±? What the hell was this vase theory? ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be discouraged. There are still divorces after marriage. It¡¯s just a relationship!¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll start the topic immediately. My name will be ¡®Has Goddess Ai broken up today?¡¯ I¡¯ll clock in every day.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ Don¡¯t lead the juniors astray. Can¡¯t we discuss it quietly? How can you be seniors¡¯ role models like this?¡± ¡°To be fair, Junior is indeed beautiful and has good taste. Do the two of them consider the possibility of three people working together? I¡¯m good at cooking and washing clothes! I can feed them until they get fat.¡± The more he read, the stranger the scene became. Luo Feng could not figure it out. Yang Bo looked at him with sympathy and patted Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll definitely think of a way to compensate you and Sister-in-law, but listen to my advice. Keep a low profile when you go out.¡± Luo Feng looked at him and thought to himself that he was about to become the public enemy of all the boys in the school. What was the use of keeping a low profile? Yang Bo told him responsibly, ¡°I know I¡¯m half responsible for everything. Don¡¯t worry, I guarantee your personal safety! I even specially established an intelligence team for you! With a countermeasure, they definitely won¡¯t discover me!¡± The more Luo Feng listened, the more confused he became. What kind of nonsense was this? He remembered that Yang Bo had only stood beside him for a few minutes. Where did this intelligence team come from? Chapter 102 - 102 How To Attack Ai Tingya? 102 How To Attack Ai Tingya? Yang Bo pulled Luo Feng to his computer mysteriously and thoughtfully brought him a stool. He opened his social media app and a group chat with Ai Tingya¡¯s photo as her profile picture caught Luo Feng¡¯s attention. It was a photo of Ai Tingya screenshot from the video. However, this time, it was her face, so he could see Ai Tingya¡¯s beauty more directly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this avatar?¡± Luo Feng questioned. No one else could obtain this picture other than Yang Bo! ¡°Hahahaha¡­¡± Yang Bo laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment. Then, he opened the group list.¡± Look! ¡± Luo Feng swiped the mouse and scrolled. All of them were unfamiliar IDs and profile pictures. He didn¡¯t recognize any of them: ¡°Why are you showing me this? I can¡¯t even tell who¡¯s who.¡± When he flipped through the list, Luo Feng was surprised to find that Yang Bo had been promoted to a group manager. The group members were still thanking him? He looked at the group name ¡°Ai Tingya, open your eyes and look at us!¡± ¡°This is the intelligence team you¡¯re talking about? You¡¯re doing pretty well inside.¡± Luo Feng said in disbelief. ¡°Didn¡¯t I infiltrate the enemy?¡± Yang Bo chuckled, ¡°No one believed me when I told them that I¡¯m your roommate. I can only continue this facade with dry goods.¡± The dry goods that Yang Bo was talking about were photos of their faces. When the people in the group saw that it was Luo Feng¡¯s roommate, they even wanted to send them information. Wouldn¡¯t a good person have a peaceful life? ¡°They think I¡¯m a spy lurking beside you, but they¡¯re actually my targets. Ain¡¯t I helping you keep an eye on them? I¡¯ll be the first to know if they do anything.¡±Yang Bo said confidently. Luo Feng felt a little bored, but he couldn¡¯t bear to dampen Yang Bo¡¯s enthusiasm. He encouraged him, ¡°Work hard.¡± This sentence was an affirmation of Yang Bo and also a forgiveness for his ignorant actions. Yang Bo was immediately filled with motivation and felt that his entire body was filled with strength. ¡°Alright, please go ahead!¡± Luo Feng thought that the popularity would dissipate in just a few days. He took another book and focused on reading. After a few minutes, Yang Bo ran to his side and shook Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder like a rattle drum: ¡°Luo Feng, bad news! The enemy is carrying a hoe!¡± ¡°What hoe?¡± Luo Feng wasn¡¯t too interested. Yang Bo pulled him down to his computer and said, ¡°Look! They¡¯re discussing how to capture Sister-in-law¡¯s heart and say that they want to use sugar-coated bullets to confuse her.¡± ¡°Ugh¡­¡± Luo Feng saw this boring conversation and was speechless. ¡°Aiya, the person who came up with the idea is already here!¡± Yang Bo said nervously, as if his wife had been targeted. ¡°They asked me to find out what kind of drink sister-in-law likes to drink. Tell me what she hates the most, we¡¯ll deliver a checkmate to them.¡± This question was worth considering to Luo Feng. In his impression, Ai Tingya was almost not picky about food. It could be said that she did not reject anyone and ate whatever she was given. She was very easy to raise. ¡°Hm¡­ Golden Thorn Pear juice.¡± Luo Feng said casually. Yang Bo had heard of this beverage before. A 135ml beverage sold for 35 yuan. Among this beverage that cost an average of a few yuan, the Golden Thorny Pear juice was not much different from snatching money, but it was indeed delicious. Even a picky young master like Yang Bo was full of praise. ¡°Sister-in-law dislikes something so high class.¡± Yang Bo flattered. Luo Feng said calmly, ¡°She doesn¡¯t hate it. Instead, she likes it.¡± In the past, Luo Feng bought it for Ai Tingya once when he was making tea. Ai Tingya liked it visibly, but when Luo Feng told her the price, she immediately put the bottle aside. She felt that it was too expensive and said that she didn¡¯t want Luo Feng to buy it again. Actually, while Luo Feng couldn¡¯t buy a beverage factory with his financial resources back then, he could still buy a small forest of Golden Thorn Pear juices. However, Ai Tingya didn¡¯t allow him to spend money recklessly. Yang Bo said in surprise, ¡°Aren¡¯t you creating an opportunity by asking them to buy Sister-in-law¡¯s favorite drink?¡± Luo Feng revealed an unfathomable smile. ¡°Young man, you¡¯re still too naive.¡± Yang Bo nodded blankly. He didn¡¯t understand what Luo Feng meant and sent it to the group. The group was as happy as if it was the new year after getting to know the goddess¡¯s preferences. Everyone was planning how to appear in front of the goddess tomorrow. There was a long queue at the school¡¯s supermarket overnight. The Golden Thorny Pear juice that no one cared about because of the price became even more popular. The cashier thought that it was some fashion trend in the school again. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer drinks on the shelves, she selfishly hid two bottles for herself to drink. ¡­ The military training continued the next day. Unlike before, the seniors who came this time did not eat watermelons or attract hatred. There was a neat row of seniors standing outside the barbed wire. Some of the seniors were sunny and handsome, with bulging muscles on the outside of their basketball vests and full of vitality. Some of the seniors looked refined, and their gold-rimmed glasses reflected the light of knowledge under the sun. Some of the seniors were even simpler and crude. They had several drinks piled up beside them, and their intentions were straightforward. The seniors who felt that they were standing in a row were like abandoned wax figures or parents who were picking up kindergarten students from school. They were looking for their targets eagerly. They were all surrounding Ai Tingya¡¯s class. The students did not know what these people wanted. They always looked over when they stood in a military posture. The instructor did not want to be too strict as there were mostly girls in the class. They trained for half an hour and rested for 15 minutes. Every time the team sat down, a senior would walk in with a large box of drinks and go straight to Ai Tingya. Senior Soda had already asked around before he came. Someone had already sent Ai Tingya Golden Thorn Pear juice, but Ai Tingya rejected them all. Of course. A more expensive bottle of drink was not sincere as a gift, and it was a little heavy as a medium to get to know. It would not be good if it was too high or too low. It would be strange if Ai Tingya accepted it. Therefore, he thought of a brilliant plan to give Ai Tingya¡¯s class drinks. Firstly, Ai Tingya would be too embarrassed to refuse in front of everyone. Secondly, he could reveal his identity and give Ai Tingya some face. It was simply killing two birds with one stone! Senior Soda became more and more energetic as he walked, as if he would soon catch up to his goddess. When the students of Ai Tingya¡¯s class saw Senior Soda walking over, they looked expectant. A girl beside Ai Tingya was especially excited and kept shaking Ai Tingya¡¯s arm. ¡°Tingya, look! The senior who delivered the drinks is here again!¡± The girl said in surprise. Ai Tingya saw that it was not bad. Yesterday, Yang Bo had called her and told her what had happened, and he had sincerely apologized. Ai Tingya had long been mentally prepared to reject everyone. She was like a monk ringing the bell. The girl beside her pouted and said enviously, ¡°I know this is troublesome for you, but I also hope I¡¯ll have such trouble. This senior is not bad. Look at his biceps!¡± Ai Tingya smiled bitterly and shook her head. ¡°Senior is very good, but I already have someone I like.¡± Chapter 103 ?103 The Target Of The Poach Declaring Sovereignty! The entire school knew that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were a couple, but there were still many people poaching them. No one was willing to question their own charm. Being rejected would at most be embarrassing. If they won, it would be fine to give it a try since she was a fairy-like new girlfriend. The soda senior was in high spirits. He carried the soda under the sun and walked out with the aura of someone who had crossed the war to deliver military supplies. He met the students¡¯ eager gazes and put down the soda. ¡°It¡¯s too hot. Junior, come and help give out soda.¡± The senior pointed at a girl to help. The girl walked up very naturally. It seemed that the arrangements had already been thought about. If he got a girl in her class to distribute drinks, the chances of her rejecting would decrease. Soda Senior felt that he was really too smart. He had considered everything. For Ai Tingya, he had gone through 36 schemes just to have a good start. ¡°Wow! We¡¯ve a share too¡± ¡°Senior, you¡¯re so awesome. Thank you, Senior!¡± ¡°After craving it all morning, someone finally remembers us.¡± The other students looked at Soda Senior respectfully, adding a lot of light to his face. Soda Senior felt like he was stepping on a seven-colored auspicious cloud. He walked towards Ai Tingya with a bottle of drink. ¡°Junior, have some water.¡± Soda Senior revealed a standard smile with eight teeth. ¡°Wow!¡± The other students drank their drinks and joined in. Ai Tingya looked at her classmates around her. Her big eyes were shining innocently, like an ignorant rabbit. Soda Senior¡¯s heart was about to melt. ¡°Thank you, Senior,¡± Ai Tingya said politely. ¡°Then drink it quickly.¡± Soda Senior felt that he was about to succeed. The moment Ai Tingya smiled at him, he even thought of the name of their child. Unexpectedly, Ai Tingya said, ¡°Thank you for reminding me, Senior. I should go buy water for my boyfriend.¡± ??? How did you say such cold words with your 36-degree body temperature? Soda Senior shuddered. When he came back to his senses, Ai Tingya had already run far away. His hand that was holding the drink was suspended in midair. The other students turned their heads and pretended not to see it, trying their best to minimize the awkward atmosphere. The senior wanted to cry but had no tears. He had schemed last night for nothing. ¡­ ¡°Hey! Luo Feng, look!¡± Yang Bo sneaked out and showed Luo Feng his phone, ¡°Sister-in-law rejected another one just now.¡± ¡°Why do you have a live broadcast?¡± Luo Feng was speechless. The group sent a photo. The student was holding a drink that had not been given out, and his back looked a little lonely. ¡°Wow! A brother is dead! Let¡¯s mourn for him!¡± ¡°A moment of silence!¡± ¡°A moment of silence!¡± ¡°Stand up! The goddess belongs to everyone!¡± The group was extremely lively. Everyone encouraged each other and came up with ideas. It looked like a harmonious family, if they were not discussing poaching. Luo Feng was speechless. Sigh, having a girlfriend with too much charm is also a problem. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to take some measures?¡± Yang Bo was worried for Luo Feng, ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m doubting sister-in-law¡¯s willpower, but tactics are the most popular. Aren¡¯t you afraid that she¡¯ll be kidnapped by bad people?¡± Luo Feng rolled his eyes at him. He and Ai Tingya had been in love for two lifetimes. Even though he was so down and out in his previous life, Ai Tingya still remembered him and helped him without hesitation. This relationship was not something that a few handsome seniors could shake. ¡°My Tingya, I believe in her.¡± Luo Feng still had this bit of confidence. ¡°Ah, brother, it¡¯s not that I want to criticize you, but you¡­¡± Yang Bo was prepared to tell Luo Feng. Luo Feng suddenly stood up and ran away. Ai Tingya walked over with two bottles of mineral water. Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached as he quickly took them. ¡°It¡¯s really a little heavy.¡± Ai Tingya swung her numb wrist and giggled. If Luo Feng¡¯s hand wasn¡¯t occupied by the mineral water, he would definitely pinch her red face. ¡°Tingya, why are you here and carrying so much water?¡± Ai Tingya grinned and did not answer Luo Feng. She directly handed two bottles of water to Yang Bo and another student, then delivered them one by one. The students in Luo Feng¡¯s class were flattered and smiled foolishly at Ai Tingya with water. Isn¡¯t this Luo Feng¡¯s girlfriend, the new campus goddess? She actually came to the class to deliver water. ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± The students thanked her profusely and revealed shy smiles that were unique to beautiful girls. They held water in their hands and licked their lips. ¡°Thank you everyone for taking care of Luo Feng.¡± Ai Tingya said generously. ¡°No, no. You¡¯re too kind,¡± the students said in unison, as if they had specially trained. They were too embarrassed to drink the ice water. Luo Feng looked at his classmates¡¯ infatuated expressions and didn¡¯t understand what Ai Tingya was talking about. He asked curiously, ¡°Why did you suddenly think of buying water?¡± Ai Tingya smiled and said, ¡°Thank them for taking care of you. I hope they can help me supervise you.¡± Luo Feng laughed and gave Yang Bo a look. It was as if he was saying, ¡°I don¡¯t have to do anything at all. This is Tingya, who only has me in her heart.¡± Yang Bo really didn¡¯t want to instantly understand what Luo Feng meant. The boys in school were chasing after Ai Tingya. Luo Feng did not declare his sovereignty, but Ai Tingya came over to make an oath. Where could he find such a good girl with no distractions?! Ai Tingya smiled and continued to deliver water. The girls patted their chests and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll definitely watch Luo Feng closely!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll even chase away the female mosquitoes!¡± In less than five minutes after they met, the girls were chatting happily. Ai Tingya successfully entered Luo Feng¡¯s class. Yang Bo was dumbfounded. After a while, he said sourly, ¡°Luo Feng, does sister-in-law still have sisters? Distant relatives are fine too.¡± ¡°From what I know¡­¡± Luo Feng thought of Xiao Fei, ¡°She has a younger sister who¡¯s better than a younger sister.¡± ¡°What do you mean by better?¡± ¡°They¡¯re not related by blood, but Tingya treats her as her biological sister.¡± Yang Bo thought that he would be marked by the company he kept. He quickly asked, ¡°Is she as beautiful, kind, and generous as Sister-in-law? I really want to get to know this sister!¡± ¡°How should I evaluate her?¡± Luo Feng dragged out his last word, ¡°Xiao Fei is as good as Xiao Fei, but my Ting Ya is unique in the world!¡± Yang Bo rolled his eyes. ¡°Do you know that you¡¯re very annoying sometimes?¡± Luo Feng laughed: ¡°Tingya will take care of me after getting beaten up, you can hit me if you want¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Yang Bo stopped eating dog food and ran back to his class with water. Ai Tingya had already sent the water to the instructor. The young instructor nervously took the water from the beautiful girl and heard Ai Tingya say, ¡°Instructor, I have something to ask of you.¡± Chapter 104 ?104 The New Employee Training Plan Begins! Luo Feng¡¯s instructors were about the same age as the students. They acted tough in order to show their superiority. Actually, he was a shy young man who would be shy when he saw girls. There were a few bold girls in the class who often joked with the instructor after getting to know each other. Ai Tingya bent down and whispered, ¡°Can you be a little more relaxed with Luo Feng? A little bit will do.¡± She humbly begged to go easy on him, her two fingers gesturing how much a little bit was. The instructor coughed and could not bear to reject her. He only said, ¡°I know what to do. Go back to your class.¡± Then, he secretly glanced at Luo Feng. For some reason, he felt like he was full from eating dog food? ¡­ Soon, the half-month military training ended. The milk tea shop near the school was renovated and opened successfully. Manpower had always been a problem that the milk tea shop could not solve. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had yet to gain a foothold in the local area, so they couldn¡¯t always trouble Ai Zhaojiang, so they called a few children from the orphanage over. Xiao Fei followed them and refused to let go when she saw Ai Tingya. ¡°Tingya, I miss you so much. Are you alright here? Are you used to the new environment? Dean Du asked me to bring you something to eat.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine here. Why have you lost so much weight?¡± The sisters hugged each other. Even though they had only been separated for more than a month, it was also the longest time they had been separated since they were young. They could not help but cry. This time, the two newbies that Lu Zhao trained came with the children. Luo Feng heard from Lu Zhao that these two people did a good job. They¡¯re diligent and motivated and can be developed in the long run. Training a large number of newbies was a must in order to successfully expand the shop. However, he needed to learn from Luo Feng for a few months. This was a good opportunity. Moreover, not everyone in the orphanage can study well. Some of them even have physical defects. If they want to establish themselves in society, they have to work several times harder than ordinary people. They¡¯re not outsiders, so Luo Feng might as well train them up so that they could be managers when they¡¯re older. Lu Zhao was a manager after all. She had a salary and also received dividends. When Luo Feng looked at the account book yesterday, he did a rough calculation and realized that Lu Zhao actually had a salary of 20,000 yuan in total. This was the most ordinary month of business in a shop in Nanlin. Now that she has taken over Crown City, it will increase by another 50%. No wonder Lu Zhao sounded tired every time Luo Feng spoke to her on the phone yet she was very motivated. It must be very tiring to look at both sides alone, and the returns were relatively high. In a small city like Crown City, Lu Zhao was already earning more than ten thousand yuan a month when the others were still earning a few hundred yuan monthly. This was considered a high income in a first-tier city. The two newbies under her were also filled with motivation after hearing about Lu Zhao¡¯s salary, hoping that they could become managers one day. It had to be said that Luo Feng¡¯s ¡°old employee bringing new employees¡± model was very successful. The new employees brought by the old employees won¡¯t be promoted in the same shop. There won¡¯t be any snatching of positions. Luo Feng will send them to other shops, just like this time. If the new employee is successfully promoted to manager, there will be a generous reward for bringing his old employees. This way, both sides would be very active. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this is only the first step of your trial. You¡¯ll also have your own milk tea shop as long as you work hard!¡± Luo Feng encouraged the people below. If it were any other boss, the employees would definitely feel that they were making a fool of themselves. However, Luo Feng was different. He could indeed give a portion of the benefits to his employees. Actually, it was already considered an above average income in Nanlin City with their current salary. Their sense of belonging to the company would also become stronger thinking about how they would improve with their boss. Ai Tingya understood everything and admired Luo Feng¡¯s foresight. In the beginning, she only wanted to help the orphanage tide over the difficulties when she started running the milk tea shop. Therefore, she only considered the small shop model. The people who helped in the shop were the children of the orphanage. It was because Luo Feng insisted on hiring an experienced new manager that the subsequent successful expansion happened. ¡°Everyone, work hard here. We won¡¯t mistreat you.¡± Ai Tingya already looked like the lady boss in the early stages. After dinner, Luo Feng brought the employees to the new dormitory. He and Ai Tingya had discussed it before. The city where the university was located was very big and there were many universities. It was more than possible to open one at the entrance of every school or business district. It had a huge market share and there was room for them to play everywhere. Therefore, they had simply rented two houses in a bustling area. Downstairs was the breakfast shop and the supermarket. The bus stop was 100 meters ahead and the transportation was convenient so that the employees could stay there permanently. Everyone has their own bedroom and four people share the bathroom and kitchen, which is similar to Luo Feng¡¯s conditions in school. Xiao Fei hugged Ai Tingya happily and did not let go seeing that she had a room of her own. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Tingya, you¡¯re really too good. You even prepared such a good place for us.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be happy too early. You have to go to English class other than going to work.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Xiao Fei¡¯s head hurt when she heard about studying. If she could study well, she wouldn¡¯t have come to a foreign place to look after a shop. Luo Feng said, ¡°Don¡¯t say ¡®ah¡¯. You¡¯ll meet a lot of foreign guests at work here, so you have to master simple daily conversation. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m looking for professional training. It won¡¯t be difficult as long as you put in the effort.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Xiao Fei lowered her head and agreed softly. Soon, the operation of the third Good Me shop was on the right track. The renovation of the shop was very eye-catching. At this time, the aesthetic of the era was forward. Passers-by passing by the door would take a second look even if they did not buy it. However, what Ai Tingya could not figure out was that every customer who came to the shop to drink milk tea liked it very much. There were already familiar customers after opening for a few days, but the business in the shop had always been lukewarm. The daily income was slightly higher than that of the other two shops, but it did not reach the average of the other two. She thought that it was the beginning of the shop and the people around it were not familiar with it. It was normal for it to be a little cold. However, she heard Xiao Fei sigh again when she walked into the shop today. ¡°Business in the shop isn¡¯t very good today. I haven¡¯t even earned back the rent.¡± She placed her chin on the table listlessly. There was an English book beside her. It meant that there were really few customers if they were so free to read! Ai Tingya deeply felt the danger of the milk tea shop! She had to think of a way to increase their reputation! Chapter 105 - 105 Its Hard Not to Be Popular If They Rely On Ai Tingya 105 It¡¯s Hard Not to Be Popular If They Rely On Ai Tingya ¡°Aiyo, I came at the right time. Tingya, you¡¯re here too.¡± Ai Chaojiang walked into the shop and was in a good mood when he saw Ai Tingya as if he had picked up a treasure. Professor Jing followed beside him and greeted the two of them. Xiao Fei had been here for a while. She felt that this white-bearded old man in front of her was very friendly and gentle to her. She had long been familiar with him. She shouted sweetly, ¡°Professor Ai, Professor Jing, you¡¯re here. Are you well?¡± Professor Jing patted his protruding abdomen and shook his head repeatedly. ¡°Forget about me. I¡¯m about to lose my eight-packs. The students are always distracted in my class without the support of my figure.¡± He could be said to be highly respected in terms of age, but in terms of maintaining his figure, he could instantly defeat most young people. He could directly change his profession and become a model and become an outstanding talent. Ai Tingya felt that Professor Jing must have contributed a lot to his figure to be able to marry a beautiful woman who was more than ten years younger. Unfortunately, Ai Chaojiang had dragged Professor Jing over frequently ever since their milk tea shop opened. It was really delicious and the calories were really high. ¡°I¡¯m happy today. Give me two cups each.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was happy to see Ai Tingya so he decided to drink two cups each to celebrate. Professor Jing stopped him and said, ¡°Old Ai, take it easy. The doctor said last time that you need to control your blood sugar. You can¡¯t drink it like this again.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was old and had to go to the hospital for a physical examination every once in a while after all. Previously, all the indicators were normal. During this period of time, his blood sugar had soared from drinking milk tea. The doctor had no choice but to stop him from eating so much sweet food. ¡°I¡¯ll start controlling my sugar levels after I finish these two cups.¡± Ai Zhaojiang did not care. He wanted to support his granddaughter, even his soaring blood sugar levels could not stop him. When Ai Tingya heard this, she walked behind the production table and said, ¡°I¡¯ll make you two cups of new tea. It¡¯s much more refreshing than milk tea and the sugar isn¡¯t high. Is that alright?¡± Ai Zhaojiang would find anything made by his granddaughter delicious, even plain water. Hence, he nodded eagerly. Ai Tingya lowered her eyes, looking a little unhappy. Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s heart ached. ¡°Tingya, why do I feel that you¡¯re not too happy?¡± Only then did Tingya realize her emotions. She felt that she shouldn¡¯t have brought them to work. She hurriedly smiled and said, ¡°No, I just heard from Xiao Fei that business hasn¡¯t been good recently.¡± Hearing this, Ai Zhaojiang noticed that there were no other customers in the shop other than the two of them. Xiao Fei was actually so free that she was reading? He realized the seriousness of the problem and turned to look at Professor Jing. Professor Jing was stunned. ¡°Why are you looking at me? I can¡¯t think of a way.¡± He could recommend the milk tea shop to the students, but he could not shamelessly ask them to come here. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll help you think of a way.¡± Ai Zhaojiang used the tone of coaxing his granddaughter, determined to build a reliable and gentle image in Ai Tingya¡¯s heart. It would be best if he could squeeze Luo Feng out. This way, Ai Tingya would definitely think of her grandfather first if anything happened to her in the future! Ai Zhaojiang thought about it seriously for a while and realized that it was very difficult. His main job was to teach and learn. He had never come into contact with business. Even though his family had some assets, they still spent money to hire others to take care of them. How to attract customers was beyond Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s range of knowledge. ¡°It¡¯s so lively today. Professor Ai, Professor Jing, you¡¯re also here.¡± Just as everyone was frowning, Luo Feng walked in and realized that everyone¡¯s expressions were not good. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng asked. Ai Tingya smiled and handed the tea to Ai Zhaojiang. Then, she said to Luo Feng, ¡°Business isn¡¯t too good. We¡¯re thinking about how to attract customers.¡± Such a small matter made Ai Tingya unhappy? Luo Feng thought to himself when he heard this. He thought for a while and had a brilliant idea. He said seriously, ¡°Tingya, I have an idea, but I might need you to make a sacrifice. Can you?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Ai Tingya said without thinking. As expected of a career-type woman. She was bold! Luo Feng was very satisfied with her reaction. Ai Zhaojiang looked at Luo Feng and felt that he had ill intentions. She quickly asked, ¡°What do you need Tingya to sacrifice? Tell me clearly.¡± Luo Feng could clearly feel Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s vigorous desire to protect him. He felt that he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave if he didn¡¯t make things clear. He said bluntly, ¡°It¡¯s just a photoshoot. Don¡¯t be nervous.¡± ¡°A photo? That¡¯s good!¡± Ai Zhaojiang also wanted a photo of Ai Tingya. ¡°I happen to know a very skilled photographer. I¡¯ll introduce him to you.¡± He had long thought about going to a familiar photographer. He could still get some negatives or something. Otherwise, it would seem strange to look for Ai Tingya directly. He could also eliminate the possibility of Luo Feng leading Ai Tingya astray! Killing two birds with one stone! ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Luo Feng saved himself the trouble. ¡°Tingya and I don¡¯t have class in the afternoon. Give us the address.¡± The two of them got the address from Ai Zhaojiang and headed to the photo studio without stopping. Professor Jing pinched his chin and said, ¡°Can taking a photo bring about business?¡± Ai Zhaojiang didn¡¯t care. ¡°Who cares? I¡¯ll have the photos soon anyway.¡± ¡­ Of course, Luo Feng could not let Ai Tingya debut on the spot. In his previous life, he had witnessed the horror of the internet celebrity economy. Everyone was chasing after traffic. It would still be popular as long as they could attract the attention of the audience, regardless of whether it was positive or negative, as long as it was operated well. One night of live broadcasting and bringing goods could create a sales miracle. Moreover, the first step to becoming famous in the milk tea shop at that time would not be how good the quality of the milk tea was, but how to market it. Whoever could get the page would become the fashion icon of the season. Then, they could start the harvest. Luo Feng did not like the model of such harvests, but he agreed with marketing. If he did not make his name known, how could anyone know how good the product was? However, that was a marketing model more than 10 years later. In this era, the Internet was not developed yet. The paper media was the mainstream. Luo Feng was prepared to advertise and let Ai Tingya become the spokesperson. He would publicize it among the students first, and the popularity would naturally follow. The two of them stood in front of the photo studio and saw a young man with a buzz cut with lip studs at the door. He looked around as if he had been waiting for a long time. Ai Zhaojiang had probably informed him in advance. However, Luo Feng did not expect Ai Zhaojiang to know such a fashionable photographer. Before he came, he thought that he would see the old style from the last century. ¡°Hello, we were introduced by Professor Ai.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya went forward to greet him. The buzz cut man sized up the two of them with the unique judgment of an artist. In the end, he revealed a satisfied smile and clapped his hands. ¡°Not bad. Which one of you wants to take a photo?¡± Luo Feng pushed Ai Tingya forward. ¡°Her.¡± ¡°Very good, very good.¡± The young man at the village entrance nodded repeatedly. ¡°Come in and prepare.¡± Chapter 106 ?106 You¡¯ve Always Been So Outstanding, In Every Field After entering the camera studio, the photographer found a large pile of clothes and felt that they were suitable for Ai Tingya to try on one by one. There was a group of people waiting outside for her to put on her clothes. Ai Tingya seemed to have returned to the first time she went shopping with Luo Feng. The long-awaited feeling of embarrassment washed over her again. This made Ai Tingya look very uneasy after changing her clothes. ¡°Raise your arm a little higher. Yes! Smile!¡± ¡°Okay! It¡¯s beautiful! Smile wider. Don¡¯t be so nervous.¡± ¡°Hold the flowers higher and look at the camera. Good!¡± ¡°Not bad¡­ not bad¡­¡± The photographer took a photo of Ai Tingya. He said that it was not bad, but when he saw the photo, he shook his head repeatedly. This action made Ai Tingya even more nervous. She quickly asked, ¡°Did I do something wrong?¡± The photographer raised his eyebrows and sized up Ai Tingya again. He commented, ¡°You¡¯re very beautiful, and so are the photos, but I think you can perform better.¡± He was an experienced photographer and knew why Ai Tingya was like this. He clapped his hands and said to the other staff, ¡°Rest for 20 minutes and let the model adjust her composure.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± The lighting technician said plaintively, ¡°Then won¡¯t I have to work overtime again? I think the photos are taken very well. Let¡¯s not. I have a movie date with my girlfriend tonight.¡± The photographer rolled his eyes at him. ¡°I¡¯m very strict in my pursuit of art! If I say no, I mean no.¡± When Ai Tingya heard the two of them bickering, she felt even more uncomfortable that she had implicated everyone in working overtime. She sat alone in the corner and tugged at the edge of her skirt. She took deep breaths and pinched her thigh, wanting to get into character quickly. Seeing this, Luo Feng hurriedly pulled away Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and realized that her thigh was red. ¡°Why am I so stupid, Luo Feng? I might have to let you down.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes were red. Ai Tingya felt that she had built up enough confidence ever since she got together with Luo Feng. However, she felt that she had been beaten back to her original state once she entered an unfamiliar domain. Seeing her like this, Luo Feng felt terrible. In her previous life, Ai Tingya was the darling of financial and fashion magazines. She often made speeches on television. She was intellectual and generous in front of the camera, and she exuded the decisiveness of a female CEO. Luo Feng did not expect it to be so difficult for Ai Tingya for her first photoshoot. His original intention for opening the milk tea shop was to help Ai Tingya tide over her difficulties. However, he had actually made Ai Tingya fall into sadness. Was he putting the cart before the horse? Luo Feng let Ai Tingya lean on his shoulder and patted her back softly. ¡°Tingya, I hope you remember that I think very highly of you, but it¡¯s okay. Let¡¯s not film anymore if you don¡¯t want to. I support all your decisions. I¡¯ll go tell the photographer that you should change your clothes. We¡¯ll go back to school immediately.¡± Hearing this, Ai Tingya burrowed into Luo Feng¡¯s arms again. For a moment, she wanted to retreat. ¡°But what about recruiting guests?¡± Luo Feng chuckled and said, ¡°Silly girl, are you afraid that I won¡¯t be able to think of a solution? Don¡¯t worry blindly. Hurry up and change your clothes.¡± Ai Tingya grabbed the corner of Luo Feng¡¯s shirt and refused to let him go. Was she acting cute? Luo Feng laughed and touched Ai Tingya¡¯s head. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t move no matter where you ask me to stand.¡± The photographer felt that Ai Tingya¡¯s aura had changed and said in relief, ¡°Alright, everyone, get ready.¡± Anyone would complain about suddenly working overtime, but everyone stayed at their posts and completed their jobs. The lighting technician scratched the back of his head and muttered, ¡°I think she did very well. You¡¯re just too strict.¡± It turned out that Tingya had misunderstood the lighting technician and was not blaming her. She looked gently at Luo Feng beside her. It was all thanks to his tolerance that she could pull herself together. Luo Feng realized that Ai Tingya was looking at him and smiled back. The cameraman who was adjusting the camera happened to see this scene through the camera and could not help but press the shutter. ¡°Very good. The first photo was very good. Let¡¯s officially begin!¡± The camera shutter sounded again in the camera studio. Ning Xiaoxue had a faint and gentle smile on her face. She quickly understood the concept that the photographer wanted to express and expressed it accurately. The photographer did not stop taking photos. The more he took, the more excited he became. ¡°Hurry up and use the milk tea props.¡± The photographer urged the prop master, afraid that if he delayed for another second, Ai Tingya¡¯s good mood would disappear. ¡°Very good! Very good!¡± He praised repeatedly. ¡°A few more photos of you looking at the camera will do. This will make the audience feel more immersive.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± After Tingya adjusted her breathing, she felt that it was not enough. She looked at Luo Feng, who had been protecting her, and revealed a gentleness that came from the bottom of her heart, like a lily swaying in the breeze. ¡°This is the feeling!¡± The photographer seemed to have discovered a new continent and pulled Luo Feng to stand behind the camera. ¡°Stand here! Model, just look at him and smile.¡± Ai Tingya blushed slightly with the shyness of a young girl and smiled knowingly. The studio was filled with the atmosphere of love. The lighting technician and prop master were stunned. Could this be a young girl nourished by love? She was as delicate as a peeled lychee. The photographer took a few shots in a row. He liked his subject to show his true feelings and use photos to freeze his emotions. He felt that he should have let Luo Feng stand over earlier. Otherwise, he would have been able to take more perfect photos. ¡°Very well done. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± The cameraman took the last photo and felt as if he had completed a work of art. He was so excited that his head was covered in sweat. ¡°This is really the purest and most beautiful love I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± The others were also stunned. They felt that they could still work for a while longer. Why was it over so quickly? ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± The photographer shook their hands. ¡°You can come and see the finished product tomorrow.¡± ¡°Thank you for your patience and guidance.¡± Ai Tingya was in a good mood after trying something new. The photographer wanted to thank them and joked, ¡°You¡¯re the most compatible couple I¡¯ve ever seen. Let me take the wedding photos too if possible. I can give you a discount!¡± Ai Tingya blushed and said, ¡°This¡­ It¡¯s too early. We¡­¡± ¡°I understand, I understand. Haha.¡± The photographer sent the two of them out and even called a taxi for them. He had a feeling of regret for not meeting Tingya earlier. He repeatedly nagged that she could come to his place to be a model if she wanted to work. After sending the two of them off, the photographer was not in a hurry to send the masterpiece to the retoucher. After all, there was nothing to repair. It would only take a few minutes to add a few advertisements. He sent the photo he had taken of Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looking at each other to Ai Zhaojiang. The caption said, ¡°Don¡¯t you think they¡¯re a good match?¡± Chapter 107 ?107 An Unprecedented Discussion Caused by A Few Photos Ai Zhaojiang was furious when he received the photo! He was preparing a room for Ai Tingya, thinking that he could bring her home immediately after they reunited. He felt that it would be more heartwarming if he placed a photo of the room owner on the headboard. Therefore, he reminded the photographer to send him the most perfect photo. Who knew that there would be two people in it! Who wanted to see that brat! Ai Zhaojiang took a few glances and felt that they were indeed a good match. He became even angrier. He did not want his granddaughter to be abducted by the brat before she could return to his side. Ai Zhaojiang had been trying hIS best to dislike Luo Feng and nitpick his shortcomings. In the end, he realized that he felt more and more that Luo Feng was a good person and was indeed worth entrusting to. Ai Tingya would be very happy with him¡­ ¡°No! Your grandpa, I definitely won¡¯t admit it!¡± Ai Zhaojiang told himself to stick to his bottom line as he found an exquisite photo frame and framed the photo of the two of them. After he was done, he even hit his own disappointing hand¡ª They were indeed a good match. ¡­ After Luo Feng obtained the photo from the photographer, Yang Bo had to appear. After the military training drink incident, he was a little famous on the school forum, not to mention that he had a say in the group. Yang Bo looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s photo. Her eyes were looking straight at the camera, and Yang Bo blushed. The innocence of a young man in his heart had actually grown again. ¡°Are you sure you want to post these photos?¡± Yang Bo grabbed the photos in embarrassment. ¡°Do you know how powerful these photos are? At least half of the boys in the school have become your enemy.¡± Reality proved that Yang Bo was not exaggerating. The messages exploded within half an hour of the photo being placed on the forum! There was no need for the administrator to add premium products. The people who kept replying pushed the post to the top. Everyone who saw the photo was stunned. In the photo, Ai Tingya was wearing a light green dress. Her fingers were holding a refreshing cup of tea, like a cold summer breeze. Or she was wearing an energetic orange outfit, biting her teeth in habit, and looking out of the window faintly, as if she was missing someone on a rainy day. The strong contrast made one¡¯s eyes light up. The one that had the most feel was the photo that Ai Tingya was looking straight at the camera. Her eyes were filled with love and there were thousands of words in them, making the men in the school excited. The school forum¡¯s server was facing an unprecedented test. Even the final exams had never been so crowded. Yang Bo looked at the endless praises below and thought to himself. As expected of a higher education institution. Their cultural quality was high. They could write a 800-word essay with just a brush, and the angle of praise was different. A large portion of the poaching group that he had joined had already wilted because of Ai Tingya¡¯s actions of announcing her sovereignty. The group leader even sadly changed the group name to ¡°She doesn¡¯t care about us anyway.¡± That kind of plaintiveness that was about to be released infected every student in the group. They gritted their teeth and silently blessed him while feeling sad and yearning for love that belonged to them. Today, it was activated by a few photos. Ai Tingya¡¯s Critical Hit was like a pacemaker. The people in the group were instantly energetic. All the divers ran out to express their opinions. The group leader even changed the group name excitedly. ¡°Ai Tingya is so beautiful!¡± ¡°A national treasure! A national treasure! How am I worthy of seeing such a beautiful photo!¡± ¡°Ai Tingya is the best in the world! If you¡¯re not convinced, come and fight!¡± ¡°She¡¯s smiling at me. She has me in her heart!¡± ¡°Wake up! She¡¯s smiling at me.¡± ¡°Get lost, both of you. I announce that my code name from now on is Camera!¡± ¡°There¡¯s a warmth wrapped in love.¡± ¡°I really want to fall in love. I really want to have a drink with the goddess. She must be very cute.¡± The people in the group were also successfully led astray. Previously, they suspected that there was a problem with the drinks when they failed to deliver the drinks. Now, it seemed that there was indeed a problem with the drinks! The goddess liked milk tea! ¡°That milk tea looks delicious. I want the same one as the goddess.¡± ¡°The goddess and milk tea. I¡¯ll drink milk tea too. Rounding it up, I¡¯ll drink the same cup as the goddess.¡± ¡°These photos seem to be advertisements.¡± Everyone only noticed Ai Tingya¡¯s beautiful face and delicious milk tea. They completely ignored the words beside her. ¡°Good Me? I think it¡¯s a new milk tea shop in the business district in front. The renovation is very unique.¡± ¡°I have to say that the store manager has good taste. Ai Tingya is really compatible with Milk Tea. She¡¯s youthful and gentle, sweet and fresh. She¡¯s a natural endorser of Milk Tea!¡± ¡°Damn it, I¡¯ve been ruthlessly manipulated. I¡¯ll get the same one tomorrow!¡± Luo Feng looked at these chat records and shook his head repeatedly. He had underestimated the fans¡¯ economy. It turned out that their values followed their facial features. However, there were some things that he agreed with. Ai Tingya was the most suitable spokesperson for milk tea. Be it the rich milk tea, sweet fruit tea, or refreshing tea, these temperaments were all displayed by Ai Tingya. Sweet and gentle, and one would be addicted to it after drinking it for a long time and would not be able to leave it for a day. The students in the group were still intoxicated by the goddess¡¯ peerless beauty. Even fairies could not compare to her. Luo Feng could not help but use Yang Bo¡¯s account to reply, ¡°Has anyone thought that Ai Tingya has a boyfriend?¡± The group was silent for more than ten seconds before it exploded! ¡°Get lost, don¡¯t remind me!¡± ¡°You, undercover, aren¡¯t you in the same dormitory as your goddess boyfriend? Did he ask you to farm your presence?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t look, I won¡¯t look, I won¡¯t look! As long as I don¡¯t see, the goddess won¡¯t have a boyfriend!¡± ¡°You have been kicked out of the group chat by the administrator.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yang Bo¡¯s expression was complicated. ¡°What good will this do you?¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Would you believe me if I said my hand slipped?¡± In a place where the two of them could not see, the group was still discussing intensely. Not only did the boys in the group notice that Ai Tingya¡¯s photo was an advertisement, but someone on the forum also highlighted the key points. Everyone agreed to try the milk tea that the goddess said was good. The next morning, Xiao Fei yawned and prepared to stay behind to guard the store manager again. She opened the door. She was almost frightened to death by the crowd surging at the door! Most of the students waiting at the door were students who did not have morning classes. The other group had to skip class to try their first cup of milk tea in the morning. Xiao Fei had experienced Crown City¡¯s milk tea shop being filled to the brim. Looking at it again, she was still a little flustered. She hurriedly called Ai Tingya and Luo Feng and asked them to come over and help. Ai Tingya rushed to the door in a panic and saw a sea of people in the milk tea shop. It had been a long time since she last saw this familiar scene. ¡°Look, I knew the shop would definitely be bursting with customers today,¡± Luo Feng said with a smile. Ai Tingya finally understood what Luo Feng had done with the photo, hearing someone in the crowd call her name and say that he wanted to drink the same milk tea as her. Chapter 108 ?108 The Goddess Uses Your Money To Feed Her Boyfriend! Luo Feng was too happy chatting on the forum last night and forgot to tell Xiao Fei in advance that there might be a fierce battle today, causing Xiao Fei to not react in time. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had no choice but to guard the shop. Ai Tingya did not have time to be happy before she threw herself into the nervous response work seeing that the shop was doing so well. Not only Ai Tingya, even Wang Chen could not help but gape when he saw the sea of people at the door. He was a sophomore in the finance faculty. He had long known what kind of temperament his classmates would have as a senior. Last night, he had already expected that the milk tea shop would be very crowded today. However, the feeling of anticipation was different from seeing it with his own eyes. Wang Chen admired himself for ordering his classmates to line up for him in advance. He was sad because there were too many people and he could not find his classmates. They did not pick up the call, probably because they did not hear the ringtone. She could only pull her roommate to line up from the beginning. Her roommate pushed Wang Chen¡¯s hand away and said, ¡°I was reading until three last night. My biological clock was in a mess and I couldn¡¯t sleep, but you still pulled me out.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll be able to sleep after a cup of milk tea.¡± ¡°I¡¯d rather drink.¡± His roommates despised Wang Chen¡¯s actions, especially when they knew that he had formed a group called ¡°Ai Tingya is even more beautiful today¡±. They felt that if he used this energy on his studies, he would not be stuck at the passing mark at the end of the semester. Especially when he found out that Wang Chen was the number one die-hard fan in the school and also Luo Feng¡¯s biggest anti-fan leader, his roommate felt that Wang Chen was hopeless. He felt that at his age in university, he had to wander in the sea of books. Alcohol was a man¡¯s drink and helped him sleep, not indulge in sweet milk tea. ¡°I really have to give it to you. Look at the people in front of you.¡± His roommate rubbed his sore eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go drink. I¡¯ll treat you.¡± Wang Chen shook off his hand and said, ¡°Why are you drinking so early in the morning? This milk tea shop is very delicious.¡± Her roommate rolled her eyes at him. ¡°This is your first time here, right? How would you know if it¡¯s delicious? I think you¡¯re just blinded by lust!¡± ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s almost our turn. Wait a moment.¡± Wang Chen¡¯s ¡°Almost¡± made his roommate wait for 20 minutes before getting the queue number. Ai Tingya considerately recommended them as the new season¡¯s products and gently asked them about their preferences. Finally, she handed over the number plate with both hands. This was the closest Wang Chen had ever been to Ai Tingya. There was only a bar between them. What made him even happier was that after Ai Tingya ordered for him, she changed to another receptionist. Wang Chen felt extremely sweet even before he drank the milk tea knowing that he was the last lucky person. ¡°Did you see that? There¡¯s no one else in the school who can compare to my goddess¡¯s appearance and temperament!¡± Wang Chen bragged. His taste was definitely not bad! Her roommate nodded pertinently. ¡°She¡¯s indeed good-looking. She¡¯s even better-looking than the female celebrity you chased before.¡± Before Wang Chen wooed Ai Tingya, he was wooing the top female celebrities of various countries. The entertainment industry was a big dye vat. This was everyone¡¯s consensus, but Wang Chen refused to listen. He was already a university student, but he still purely felt that the female celebrity would be like this in front of the camera and would be like this in private. Therefore, when the main character was exposed to indecent news, Wang Chen would face a house collapse. Then, he would scream wild shrieks and howls and drag his roommates to get drunk late at night. After repeating this many times, he decided not to chase after celebrities! He would chase after the goddess of the same school! Everyone knew that Ai Tingya had a boyfriend after all. Wang Chen felt that as long as he didn¡¯t have a house, it wouldn¡¯t collapse! As long as he couldn¡¯t see, his goddess was dating the air! After the two of them ordered, their numbers were quickly called. Wang Chen was still chattering about his close contact with Ai Tingya. ¡°It¡¯s just like an idol meet-and-greet. Other celebrities sell it for nothing, but Ai Tingya¡¯s milk tea is real! It¡¯s too cost-effective!¡± His entire face was filled with happiness, like rapeseed flowers under the sun. His roommate glanced at him and revealed a gloating smile. ¡°That¡¯s right. Not only does she sell milk tea, but she also gives us dog food on the spot.¡± ?? Wang Chen turned his stiff head and wished he could dig out his eyes in the next second. At some point in time, Luo Feng had drilled into the console. The two of them stood together and chatted and laughed. Luo Feng leaned over and whispered something into Ai Tingya¡¯s ear, making her blush in embarrassment. She gently nudged Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder. In his working state, no one could say anything when he was flirting with no distractions. His roommate did not forget to add fuel to the fire. ¡°I heard the other employees call him boss just now. He should be Luo Feng, your goddess¡¯s current boyfriend.¡± Every word was like a knife stabbing into Wang Chen¡¯s heart. Especially when he saw Luo Feng raise his hand to wipe the water off Ai Tingya¡¯s face. Ai Tingya was like an obedient cat, waiting obediently to be rubbed. Wang Chen really seemed to be shouting, ¡°Let go of that girl! Let me do it!¡± In order to wake him up, his roommate did a series of 13 slashes. ¡°The money you buy for milk tea will go into your goddess¡¯ pocket. Then, your goddess will spend it on her boyfriend. Rounding it up, you will be spending money on Luo Feng.¡± ¡°Stop talking.¡± Wang Chen was on the brink of tears. The milk tea that he had been looking forward to the entire morning immediately became tasteless. ¡°Can I return the milk tea?¡± Wang Chen said with difficulty. He felt that no matter what the milk tea in his hand tasted like, it was already dog food in his eyes. Moreover, it was the kind that made him sad every time he took a sip. His roommate was used to seeing him in despair after his house collapsed. She picked up the straw and inserted it for him, then inserted it for herself. ¡°Stop nagging. Take it as a toast to your dead young man¡¯s heart!¡± His roommate raised his glass and did not forget to complain in his heart, even though he did not know how many times he had died. ¡°Yes!¡± Wang Chen pulled himself together. The two of them took a sip each and savored it. This taste¡­ was really that good?! The two of them looked at each other and did not speak for a long time. After there was no taste in his mouth, Wang Chen said, ¡°Do you think this milk tea is delicious?¡± ¡°¡­ So-so! I don¡¯t think it¡¯s as good as my wine!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just saying!¡± Wang Chen slammed the table and stood up. He took another sip of milk tea and said, ¡°It¡¯s not suitable for a man¡¯s taste at all. I won¡¯t come again.¡± His roommate saw that he was gulping down the milk tea despite his words. ¡°If it doesn¡¯t taste good, why don¡¯t you throw it away?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just afraid of wasting it!¡± Wang Chen said confidently. ¡°Food is not sinful!¡± He walked out of the milk tea shop guiltily, his heart aching so much that he could not breathe. Because he did not want to admit that this milk tea was really f*cking delicious! He fell in love with it after just taking a sip. It was sweeter than his first love! Wang Chen did not want to embarrass himself in front of his roommates. He could only pretend to despise them on the surface, but he began to plan what flavor he would drink next time. Chapter 109 ?109 Unable To Withstand The Temptation, An Awkward Chance Encounter The next day, in front of Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop. Wang Chen and his roommate met again. The two of them stood at the door and stared at each other like two statues. They hesitated and wanted to walk into the shop, but they did not want to walk in front of each other. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you went to the library?¡± his roommate asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go drink a man¡¯s drink?¡± Wang Chen asked. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to see the goddess,¡± Wang Chen said stubbornly. ¡°I went back last night and thought about it. How could the beautiful goddess be wrong?¡± ¡°¡­I was going to the tavern, but it was too early and the place wasn¡¯t open yet. I¡­ came here mindlessly.¡± His roommate¡¯s mouth was even tougher than his. Wang Chen might have believed it if not for the fact that he was holding a promotional leaflet for the new milk tea product. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, you have to find something to drink.¡± The roommate hid the flyer behind him and said very understandingly, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll accompany you to see the goddess.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± In the end, the two of them realized that Ai Tingya was not in the shop. They could only ¡°reluctantly¡± buy a cup of milk tea each. ¡­ On the third day, in front of Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop. The two of them met at the same place again. This time, the two of them did not greet each other. They pretended not to see each other with an unspoken mutual understanding. After buying the milk tea, one went east and the other went west. They had an extremely tacit understanding. ¡­ On the fourth day. The two of them simply stopped pretending. They each held a cup of milk tea and sat at the seat they had come to for the first time. ¡°The milk tea is so delicious.¡± Wang Chen was still like a happy rapeseed flower. His roommate corrected him. ¡°It¡¯s not that the milk tea is delicious, but your goddess¡¯s milk tea is delicious. I¡¯ve been drinking from another company these past two days. It¡¯s fragrant and delicious.¡± Wang Chen glanced at his roommate and hugged the milk tea. ¡°You said you were going to drink. So you were going to inspect the milk tea shop.¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to give money to your love rival.¡± ¡°Then I have to thank you?¡± Wang Chen said angrily. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about it. Everything is in the milk tea. Cheers.¡± Let him swallow the awkward topic along with the milk tea just now. The two of them sat by the window and watched the people coming and going outside. All the young people who passed by the door looked up at the signboard and walked in no matter which direction they were going. It was as if there was a magnet in the shop that could suck people in. Wang Chen was curious. ¡°Speaking of which, don¡¯t you think the shop¡¯s business is very good?¡± Just as the two of them were talking about paintings, there was a long queue in front of the bar. Wang Chen took a few more glances and realized that many of them were classmates from their school. However, as far as he knew, three days had passed since Ai Tingya¡¯s photo incident and the popularity had long subsided. ¡°There should be a lot of repeat customers, just like us.¡± His roommate picked up the milk tea and shook it, the pearls inside shaking. ¡°And Ai Tingya only appeared in the shop on the first day. In other words, they didn¡¯t come to see Ai Tingya. The milk tea is really delicious.¡± Good Me Milk Tea Shop purely relied on the taste to retain customers. Wang Chen nodded thoughtfully. He felt that it was indeed better than others. Unintentionally, he saw a familiar figure in the corner. He poked his roommate and said, ¡°Look at the man in the corner. Doesn¡¯t he look a little familiar?¡± His roommate narrowed his eyes and observed for a while. He said in surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Senior Yan Kaize? He¡¯s a legendary big shot in our finance faculty.¡± The two of them looked at it again and again and realized that it was indeed Yan Kaize, the legendary figure mentioned by their mentor. Even though he was a senior, Yan Kaize had actually fought more than ten years more than them. He was almost 40 years old and had graduated from school for almost 16 years. The reason why Wang Chen and the others recognized him was because Yan Kaize had entered JPMorgan Chase after graduation. In just a few years, he had become an agent of the Asia-Pacific region and was the company¡¯s youngest regional manager. Just as everyone was feeling envious, Yan Kaize made a decision that surprised everyone. He resigned when he was about to be promoted to CEO and established his own investment company. In the next few years, Yan Kaize¡¯s Good Wood Investment Company seemed to have grown wings. Any project he took a fancy to developed rapidly. Until now, Good Wood Investment Company controlled billions of yuan. He had already become a big shot in the investment circle at such a young age. Even though he had graduated many years ago, the instructors who had taken care of Yan Kaize still liked to mention his name. On important school holidays, the school would invite him back to participate and give free lectures to his juniors. Yan Kaize had a place in the school where photos of outstanding graduates were displayed. Wang Chen had always treated Yan Kaize as his goal. Wang Chen would never have dreamed that he would see a big shot who did not fit in at the milk tea shop by the roadside. The other students were wearing casual pants and sneakers, chatting and laughing youthfully. The big shot sat alone in a crowded chair. His formal suit had wrinkles squeezed out as he stared at the computer with a serious expression. If not for the calm aura around him, he would easily be treated as a bitter worker. Moreover, in Wang Chen¡¯s imagination, the president would always have a cup of bitter black coffee in front of him. This was the temperament of a successful person. However, he just happened to see Yan Kaize holding a cup of strawberry milk tea. His habit was still pink! Wang Chen was not the only one who noticed Yan Kaize. Ai Zhaojiang and Professor Jing, who visited everyday, were also there. The two of them were regular customers in the shop. Even the students buying milk tea were not surprised. Everyone tacitly agreed that the corners were reserved for the two professors. Even if the two seats were empty, no one would sit there. Professor Jing held his hot tea and looked at Yan Kaize a few more times. ¡°Is that Yan Kaize? Didn¡¯t you say that he went overseas for a meeting?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. He¡¯s been here for the past two days. He probably came to school for something.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was not concerned at all. Seeing his situation, Professor Jing thought to himself, You¡¯re almost treating this as an information station for Ai Tingya when you¡¯re soaking in the milk tea shop every day. You should be more interested in other things. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of anything happening in school recently,¡± Professor Jing said. Suddenly, he had an idea. ¡°Maybe Yan Kaize is interested in the development prospects of the milk tea shop. Your grandson-in-law is going to soar.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s my grandson-in-law? I haven¡¯t admitted it yet!¡± Ai Zhaojiang was stubborn. Want him to admit that Luo Feng was outstanding in public? Unless the hell freezes over! Professor Jing saw through it but did not expose him. ¡°Your granddaughter has already declared her sovereignty. Don¡¯t you know that half of the boys in the school are wailing?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t agree!¡± Ai Zhaojiang glared at Professor Jing. ¡°Heh, Old Ai, don¡¯t be dissatisfied. I think very highly of Luo Feng. Look at this kid. He made the shop popular with just a few photos. Can you do it?¡± ¡°Tsk¡­ It¡¯s all because my granddaughter is good-looking. Otherwise, where would he find such a good-looking model?¡± Ai Zhaojiang just didn¡¯t want to admit it! If he admitted it, his granddaughter would be completely abducted! Chapter 110 ?110 Legendary Senior Is In The Shop,Do You Want To Discuss Cooperation? Yan Kaize had originally come back to relax. There had been a temporary problem with the company he had arranged to meet previously. He heard that the board of directors had split up, causing him to be unable to take care of his collaboration with Yan Kaize. He had prepared for this collaboration for a long time, but his business had failed because of an accident. Yan Kaize had been doing business for a long time, but he could still encounter all kinds of ridiculous reasons for breaking appointments. He might as well use this free time to go back to his alma mater to take a look. Then, he noticed the latest hot topic on the school forum¡ªAi Tingya and her milk tea shop. With the thought of how delicious the milk tea was, Yan Kaize walked into Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop and found a new business opportunity. Taking advantage of the flow of customers in the shop, he walked to the bar and said to Luo Feng, ¡°Hello, are you the boss here?¡± ¡°I am. May I help you?¡± Luo Feng had actually noticed Yan Kaize early on and knew that he was a legendary figure in the school. However, in his opinion, anyone who entered the shop was like a customer who was spending money. He had to treat everyone equally, so he did not care. Luo Feng did not expect Yan Kaize to take the initiative to talk to him. He did not know what he wanted to do. Yan Kaize handed over his business card and said, ¡°Let me introduce myself. My name is Yan Kaize. I should be considered your senior, hahaha.¡± He touched his face, which was already beginning to wrinkle. ¡°I¡¯m an investor now. I wonder if you have time.¡± Luo Feng knew that Yan Kaize was very powerful. He was always mentioned by his teacher after all, but he did not know how powerful he was at all. When he took the business card and saw the ¡°President of Good Wood Investment Company¡±, he finally had some inkling. Yan Kaize continued, ¡°If you have time, we can talk. I think your milk tea shop has a lot of prospects.¡± Luo Feng nodded in agreement. It was precisely because there was a future that he chose to start with the milk tea industry. Facing Yan Kaize¡¯s determined smile, Luo Feng felt that this person was really something. ¡°Of course I have time.¡± Luo Feng really wanted to hear the advice of a legendary figure, so he called Ai Tingya over as an extracurricular tutoring. When Ai Tingya first heard that the legendary senior wanted to talk about the development prospects of the milk tea shop, she was a little stunned. She was still a student, so it was inevitable that she would be a little nervous. She widened her eyes and stood rooted to the ground like a block of wood, like a student waiting for her teacher to give her Quests. Seeing this, Yan Kaize knew that he had the initiative. ¡°Then let¡¯s find a seat and talk slowly.¡± The three of them chose a round table in the corner. Wang Chen, Ai Zhaojiang, and the other three also moved their butts. The four of them craned their ears to hear what they could talk about. ¡°Senior Yan, why did you think of investing in our milk tea shop?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. He actually knew that the development prospects of milk tea would be noticed. However, in Luo Feng¡¯s estimation, it would be at least seven to eight years before the future few milk tea brands would appear one after another. After a few years of development, they would form brands. Milk tea was only one of many beverages in this era after all. It was bought with various snacks. Good Me was the only milk tea shop that only sold milk tea. It was also the first shop to open three in a row. Yan Kaize pointed at his eyes confidently. ¡°The most important thing in investing is these eyes. I can tell that you have some ingenious intentions in running a milk tea shop. It¡¯s already very impressive for you to be able to think of this at your age.¡± ¡°Pray continue.¡± Ai Tingya felt an inexplicable anticipation. ¡°To be honest, the milk tea shops I saw before you were all small workshops. Drinks were just a foil to the food. Their future was limited. But you¡¯re different. You know how to value brands.¡± Yan Kaize picked up the milk tea and continued, ¡°From the renovation style of your shop, I can tell that you want to take the high-end route. With such a unique style, it¡¯s very easy to form a brand impression. You¡¯re also studying finance, so you must know how powerful brands are in catering.¡± Ai Zhaojiang heard Yan Kaize praise them first. This shop was designed by Luo Feng. Wasn¡¯t that a form of praise for Luo Feng? However, Ai Zhaojiang had to admit that Yan Kaize was really a talent. He could tell so much just by sitting in the shop. He only told the truth and never pretended to flatter him. Luo Feng listened seriously and agreed with Yan Kaize. In his memory, there was no milk tea brand that did not market themselves. Some put the cart before the horse and placed marketing before the taste. Just this alone could show the influence of the brand on customers¡¯ consumption. Therefore, they designed the shop Style and the logo to make consumers remember them. ¡°I¡¯ve been sitting in the shop for two days and realized that you guys had attracted a lot of customers from the school forum at the beginning. You relied on real taste to develop a lot of repeat customers. The customers are very sticky! Moreover, the consumption rate of milk tea is also higher compared to other food types.¡± For example, no one could eat hotpot and roasted meat every day. They would not be able to take it even if it was three times a week. Milk tea was different. They could drink it every day, let alone three to five times a week. ¡°The modulation of your products is also in line with the trend of social development¡ªhealth, deliciousness, and freshness. With the current trend of economic development, these are hot topics for future people to pursue.¡± This was also the reason why Luo Feng had taken over the food factory. Not only could it be different from other milk tea, but it was indeed much healthier. After Yan Kaize finished speaking, he did not forget to take a sip of milk tea to moisten his throat. ¡°That¡¯s why I said that I think very highly of you guys. Your development direction is correct. I believe you will advance very well.¡± The few people who were eavesdropping were stunned. So there were really so many tricks hidden?! Ai Tingya was dumbfounded. In the past, she had written development reports with Luo Feng and heard him talk about expansion and brand marketing. She only knew a little about it and felt that it was very powerful, but she also felt that it was very far from her. After Yan Kaize¡¯s analysis, Ai Tingya realized that Luo Feng was not doing whatever he thought of on a whim. Instead, he really had a plan to advance step by step. So what Luo Feng said was true! Thinking of this, Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng¡¯s eyes that were shining like the stars in the sky. They were filled with admiration. Seeing this, Professor Jing could not help but praise Luo Feng loudly, ¡°Look, I told you that Luo Feng is not bad, but you insisted on being stubborn.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Ai Zhaojiang turned his head away. On the other side, Wang Chen and his roommates were even more numb. The two of them stared at the milk tea in their hands and fell into deep thought. Could this be the difference between them and Luo Feng? They had been hugging the milk tea and laughing foolishly all day. Other than saying, ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡±, they just wanted yet another cup of different flavors. However, Luo Feng had already started his own business! Not only did he make money with milk tea, but he also attracted big shots to personally negotiate with them. Comparisons are really infuriating! Wang Chen bit his lip, feeling very indignant. Chapter 111 - 111 The Price Of Accepting Investments 111 The Price Of Accepting Investments Luo Feng stared at Yan Kaize without blinking. He admired this senior very much. As expected of a legendary figure, unique and vicious. He had to admit that Yan Kaize was right. It was also the direction of the future milk tea industry. To be able to see the future consumption trends in this era and see so many things just by sitting in the shop for two days was indeed very far-sighted. If Luo Feng had not been reborn, he might not have had Yan Kaize¡¯s unique vision. Luo Feng wanted to hear Ai Tingya¡¯s opinion seeing that she was listening seriously. ¡°Tingya, what do you think?¡± Ai Tingya was stunned when she heard this. She had just come back to her senses and said, ¡°I¡­ I think what Director Yan said makes sense. As for the rest¡­ I think you should make the decision.¡± There was too much information. No matter how outstanding Ai Tingya was, she was still a student and couldn¡¯t digest it for a while. And facing a big shot in the industry, she felt that anything she said would be a little childish, so she could only let Luo Feng judge. Yan Kaize revealed a determined smile. He understood from Luo Feng¡¯s eyes that Luo Feng definitely knew what he was talking about. He would definitely not refuse! No matter what, the other party was only a student. No matter how smart and intelligent he was, he would be limited by his knowledge. No one in the entire school would reject his olive branch. Moreover, he had already released enough sincerity without any deception. Yan Kaize couldn¡¯t think of any reason why Luo Feng wouldn¡¯t agree. The milk tea shop was silent, and only the machine on the production table was still working. The few people who heard this conversation all stared fixedly at Luo Feng, wanting to see how he would react. Wang Chen clenched his fists, even more nervous than starting his own business. He was still shouting in his heart, ¡°Agree! What are you still hesitating for? If I have my own milk tea shop, I¡¯ll go up myself! Agree quickly!¡± He did not know why he had to shout for his love rival, but the temptation given by Yan Kaize was too great. It was so great that he would feel that it was a pity if anyone did not accept it. There was a moment of silence. Luo Feng raised his head and said very seriously, ¡°Thank you for your kindness, Chairman Yan, but forgive me for refusing.¡± Yan Kaize¡¯s smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and the muscles on his face seemed to have gone on strike. The smile on his face immediately collapsed. ¡°What?¡± The exclamation slipped out. Yan Kaize suddenly stood up and knocked over the milk tea on the table. While waiting, Yan Kaize thought of countless possibilities. He thought about how Luo Feng might excitedly ask him how much he could pay, or bargain with him for the shares, shrewdly calculating every percentage point, or maybe he and Ai Tingya would pretend to consider and say that they wanted to go back and think about it, then agree the next day. The only thing he didn¡¯t expect was that Luo Feng would refuse! Is he a fool? Yan Kaize stared at Luo Feng¡¯s indifferent expression in shock, realizing that he could not see through him. He was a CEO who manipulated funds. How could he not see through a student? Wang Chen, who was sitting at the side, dug his ears and felt like he was hallucinating. He said to his roommate, ¡°Did I hear wrongly? Luo Feng just said no?¡± ¡°I heard it too. Maybe we were both hallucinating.¡± They would rather believe that there was something wrong with their ears than believe that Luo Feng rejected Yan Kaize. That¡¯s Yan Kaize they were talking about. Joining him is equivalent to boarding a big ship to Rome. Becoming rich was the most basic guarantee! What was Luo Feng thinking? Yan Kaize had not expected himself to be so tense. He coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then picked up the milk tea that had fallen to the ground and sat down again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was rude.¡± Yan Kaize stared into Luo Feng¡¯s eyes and said seriously, ¡°Do you know what it means to reject me?¡± Luo Feng smiled: ¡°I know, the chance to become a multimillionaire. Or to give away the method to get rich to someone else.¡± He understood that as long as Yan Kaize wanted to, the operating model of Gu Ming Milk Tea Shop would quickly be replicated. Moreover, it would be like spring bamboo shoots that could take root all over the country overnight. Good Me¡¯s market competitiveness would be weakened. Without a powerful backing, it would quickly be squeezed out of the competition because of the other party¡¯s powerful forces. In the future, it would only be able to wander around third- or fourth-tier cities. This was not despicable in business. If Luo Feng was in Yan Kaize¡¯s shoes, he would do the same for the sake of making money. However, his goal of opening a milk tea shop was not only to earn money. The two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding. Yan Kaize felt a little frustrated. In all his years of doing business, he had never encountered a situation like Luo Feng¡¯s. ¡°Since you understand everything, why did you reject me? If you can get into Oxford, I believe you¡¯re not a stupid person.¡± Luo Feng smiled and shook his head. He said, ¡°Senior, I know the right answer too well. You invest in me, and I¡¯ll give you results. Where would my results come from? Of course I would have to expand quickly.¡± ¡°With money, I can advertise and post photos on the school forum. It¡¯s child¡¯s play. I can rent the largest billboard in the city and let everyone know about my milk tea shop. Or I can hire a famous celebrity to endorse it and make use of the celebrity effect.¡± ¡°After getting the popularity up, the branding will be more or less done.¡± ¡°Then we can start to expand. How can we expand the fastest? Of course, we have to recruit franchisees. It¡¯s not too much to open ten to twenty franchises in first-tier cities, but seven to eight in second-tier and third-tier cities. One franchise would earn 200,000 yuan, and 100 franchises would earn 20 million yuan!¡± ¡°Not only the joining fee, but we can also specially provide raw materials and agree to the renovation style and regular training. This is another considerable income.¡± Luo Feng told him the subsequent development direction. This was not a secret. Yan Kaizw¡¯s expression was complicated as he took a deep breath. What Luo Feng said was exactly what he planned to do. Or perhaps every investor would endeavor to do that. This was the best way to see the benefits quickly! When Ai Tingya heard Luo Feng¡¯s words, she grabbed the corner of her shirt uneasily and buried her head deeply. She did not want to look at Yan Kaize, nor at Luo Feng. Her heart was like a stone that could not go up or down. It was very uncomfortable. Luo Feng noticed the unhappy Ai Tingya. He stroked her hair and continued, ¡°But chairman, there will definitely be a drawback to the rapid expansion.¡± ¡°A large number of franchisees not only bring profits, but also difficult to control quality. If the franchisees want to earn money, they will start to cut corners and squeeze the workers. No one can guarantee the quality of milk tea.¡± ¡°With our current expansion model, it¡¯s too slow for the capital, right?¡± Yan Kaize stared at Luo Feng without saying a word. Businessmen did everything to make money. He spoke politely so that his business could continue. His pursuit was no different. If Luo Feng accepts Yan Kaize¡¯s investment, then the right to speak will fall into Yan Kaize¡¯s hands. Luo Feng would have to listen to him no matter how unwilling he was if he were to get Luo Feng to expand quickly. Chapter 112 ?112 A Mere 10 Million Yuan Is Not Comparable to My Girlfriend¡¯s Smile After accepting the franchise, everything would go the opposite of what Luo Feng originally thought. At this point, Luo Feng stopped looking at Yan Kaize¡¯s expression and continued, ¡°I¡¯ve also thought of many ways to shape the brand. If it¡¯s not popular enough, we¡¯ll hire people to line up in front of the door and get the local television station to report on it. When people see it, they¡¯ll want to try it even if our milk tea tastes bad.¡± Yan Kaize hadn¡¯t thought about it in detail yet. He didn¡¯t want to admit it, but he couldn¡¯t refute it. ¡°If we still feel that the sales are too low, we can do some hunger marketing and set a seasonal limit. Or we can associate milk tea with a certain concept. For example, diamonds are bound to love. Milk tea is bound to warm the heart. ¡®The first cup of milk tea in autumn will warm the heart and stomach¡¯ will definitely be very popular among young people.¡± In his previous life, many milk tea brands had indeed done the same. ¡°Since we¡¯ve already made so much, why don¡¯t we add more ingredients? We can transfer the difference between the franchise companies. The common tea leaves on the market are sold for 10 yuan a tube, and we sell a special edition for 20 yuan a tube. It can be written into the franchise contract as a hard rule.¡± ¡°How would it affect us if the franchisees can¡¯t earn profits? If the profits are low, they can only squeeze the employees and lower their salaries to extend their working hours. Anyway, as long as they know how to read and have hands, it¡¯s fine as long as they can make milk tea. Some people are willing to do jobs with low thresholds.¡± Luo Feng took a deep breath and grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. Ai Tingya, who was trembling slightly, didn¡¯t want to look up. What Luo Feng said was too terrifying for her. This wasn¡¯t the milk tea shop she imagined. ¡°Chairman, if this continues, the franchisees won¡¯t be satisfied, the employees won¡¯t be satisfied, and the customers won¡¯t be satisfied. However, we can definitely make money, very, very quickly.¡± Luo Feng said calmly. So what if it was a mess? It had nothing to do with them. Yan Kaize¡¯s face turned red, and he didn¡¯t know how to answer for a moment. Luo Feng shouldn¡¯t have said these things out loud, but he actually felt that it was f*cking probable! What he didn¡¯t know was that Luo Feng was talking about methods that passed the market test and were successful. What he didn¡¯t understand was that since Luo Feng knew everything, this was almost a profitable business. Why did he still refuse? Could it be for ridiculous reasons like integrity? ¡°Why?¡± Yan Kaize asked. ¡°Because I value something more than making money.¡± Luo Feng raised his hand that was holding Ai Tingya¡¯s and gently kissed her pink fingertips. ¡°Because of your girlfriend?¡± Yan Kaize said in shock. Luo Feng nodded, ¡°Senior, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Ai Tingya. Good Me Milk Tea was originally opened for her. She was also the one who managed and brought the milk tea shop to its current state.¡± Yan Kaize bit his lip and refused to give up. He turned to Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Junior, since you¡¯re the one running the milk tea shop, you must know how hard it is. Accept my investment and your life will change drastically. You can do whatever you want.¡± Ai Tingya looked up, slightly tempted. She had too many things she wanted to do. She hoped to repair the orphanage¡¯s fences and hoped that Dean Du wouldn¡¯t have to work so hard. She hoped that she had the ability to help Xiao Fei chase her dreams. She hoped to repay Luo Feng and his parents. If possible, she wanted to find her home and see her family. All of these things cost money. She really hoped for a large amount of money. However, the stone in her heart made Ai Tingya a little sad. This was not what she had hoped for. At this moment. Luo Feng protected Ai Tingya in his arms and said unhappily, ¡°Senior Yan, how can you seduce an insensible junior? Do you actually know that Tingya makes the decisions in our family?¡± Yan Kaize was stunned for a moment before he suddenly laughed. Luo Feng was much more interesting than he had imagined. ¡°What about you? Why did you stop the head of your family?¡± Yan Kaize smiled, and the tense atmosphere dissipated a lot. Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s hair gently. ¡°Because I have to protect my dream of being the head of the family. She¡¯s always forcing herself to do things she doesn¡¯t like for others.¡± ¡°A 17 or 18-year-old child has the most dreams when her ability is at its limit. This shop is not a money-making tool to her, but a place to entrust her dreams. It¡¯s also a witness to our journey.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll protect her until she¡¯s strong enough to realize her dreams on her own.¡± No one understood Ai Tingya;s thoughts better than Luo Feng. Her small heart wished it could hold everyone, including the customers and salespeople. She just wanted everyone to be happy and good. Happy drinking milk tea and being rewarded handsomely if one worked. However, all of this went against the direction she grew up in. Ai Tingya was constantly looking forward to becoming better and becoming a girl who could match up to Luo Feng instead of always troubling Luo Feng. Reality was always cruel, so even if she wasn¡¯t willing, she would still agree to invest. This seems to be the fastest way to get close to Luo Feng. Ai Tingya knew that she could not be greedy. She could only choose between dreams and reality. Luo Feng said lovingly, ¡°Even if what you said is right, I¡¯m still more willing to choose to protect her. I hope that when she remembers this in the future, she can puff out her chest and say to me, ¡®I didn¡¯t make the wrong choice.''¡± ¡°Perhaps you find it a little difficult to understand, Senior, hahaha.¡± After saying so much, Luo Feng was a little embarrassed. He let go of Ai Tingya and told her not to have any unnecessary worries and make another choice. At this moment, Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes were filled with tears as she stared blankly at Luo Feng. Ai Tingya wiped her tears and smiled reassuringly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disappoint you, Senior.¡± Yan Kaize asked the same question. ¡°Do you understand what you rejected?¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Ai Tingya said firmly. ¡°It¡¯s good to be rich, but I have other pursuits. Thank you, Senior.¡± The change in her way of addressing him meant a change in her positioning. Yan Kaize, who was in front of her, was no longer the chairman of Good Wood Investment Company, but a more successful senior. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart calmed down, and she no longer felt nervous looking at him. Yan Kaize was speechless. After a while, he laughed and said, ¡°I definitely won¡¯t force you since you¡¯ve decided. However, the two of you are really more interesting than I thought. If you regret it in the future, I¡¯m still willing to drink tea with you.¡± Yan Kaize took a fancy to Luo Feng¡¯s unique vision. This rejection would not hinder their next collaboration. Luo Feng didn¡¯t comment and just smiled and nodded. Actually, investments did not matter to him at this time. In any case, he had a cashback. Ai Tingya¡¯s mood was more important than anything else. Chapter 113 ?113 They Are A Match Made in Heaven! Luo Feng¡¯s words made Professor Jing want to applaud. If not for the fact that the atmosphere in the shop did not allow it, he would definitely go up and praise this kid. Why was Old Ai not happy with such a good grandson-in-law! Professor Jing was enjoying the show. ¡°Old Ai, if you¡¯re still not satisfied with such a grandson-in-law, why don¡¯t you let me have him? I¡¯ll definitely treat him like my own grandson.¡± Ai Zhaojiang rolled his eyes at Professor Jing. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a lot of grandsons? Where did you get a granddaughter?¡± Professor Jing slapped his thigh. He had to find a granddaughter with such a good grandson-in-law like Luo Feng. ¡°My brother has a granddaughter who¡¯s about the same age as Luo Feng. Moreover, my brother is an easygoing person and won¡¯t think so much.¡± Professor Jing said seriously, ¡°I see that you haven¡¯t given your approval after assessing for such a long time. Why don¡¯t you find another husband for Tingya?¡± He deliberately said this to see Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s attitude. Luo Feng was a good young man after all. He looked a little pitiful being assessed without knowing. ¡°How dare you!¡± Ai Zhaojiang exploded. ¡°If you mess around, you¡¯ll be disregarding our decades of friendship!¡± Professor Jing retreated a little. He was overjoyed. ¡°Aren¡¯t you dissatisfied with Luo Feng? Aren¡¯t you happy that I helped you deal with it?¡± Professor Jing smiled. Ai Zhaojiang remained silent. Her eyes darted around before she said, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m just afraid¡­ afraid that Tingya will be sad. In short, just don¡¯t interfere!¡± Continue pretending. Let¡¯s see how long you can pretend. You will accept it one day. ¡­ Yan Kaize sat opposite Luo Feng and watched expressionlessly as Ai Tingya burrowed into Luo Feng¡¯s arms like a hamster. Is there a need to be so anxious in letting me know that you two are so loving? Luo Feng laughed and said, ¡°I¡¯ve embarrassed myself in front of you, Senior. Our family head is a little shy.¡± Usually, Ai Tingya would never be intimate with him in front of so many people. This was the first time Luo Feng had been punched by a pink fist when he joked with her. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t want to either, but she really couldn¡¯t control her emotions. She really loved Luo Feng to death. She really wanted to get married on the spot and be with Luo Feng forever. ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Luo Feng patted Ai Tingya¡¯s back as if he was coaxing a little pet. He looked at Yan Kaize in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior.¡± In the past, these words were said by Ai Tingya. Now that the Character had been changed, it was Luo Feng¡¯s turn to say them. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. As a senior, I naturally want you to be happy,¡± Yan Kaize said with a smile. In fact, as a qualified vendor, in his opinion, their decision was a little childish and even a little impulsive. Why did they give up the fat meat in front of them and chase after a cloud that could disperse at any time? However, Yan Kaize was also a little envious. After working, he only saw benefits and never saw sincere feelings again. If possible, he also hoped that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya could achieve fruition. ¡°Haha, let¡¯s meet again in the future.¡± Yan Kaize picked up the remaining half cup of milk tea and prepared to leave. ¡°Of course there¡¯s a chance. It might be a little fast.¡± Luo Feng meant something, and Yan Kaize retracted his foot. ¡°Junior, what do you mean?¡± ¡°That¡¯s what Senior think.¡± The two of them put on fake smiles. Previously, Luo Feng had said that after he rejected Yan Kaize, this smart senior would start studying Good Me¡¯s business model when he returned and quickly replicate it. There is still a lot of space left for milk tea in the beverage market after all. Of course, the sooner he occupied it, the more competitive he would be in the future. The business world was like a battlefield. Even though Yan Kaize said that they would cooperate in the future, Luo Feng knew very well that the identity of his competitors would appear earlier. Perhaps Yan Kaize would have a place in the future milk tea giant. Yan Kaize found it funny. Luo Feng knew everything and still rejected him. Wasn¡¯t he afraid of becoming his enemy? ¡°Hahaha, as expected.¡± Yan Kaize raised his head and laughed. He might as well make things clear. ¡°Let¡¯s drink milk tea together if there¡¯s a chance in the future. I¡¯ll treat you to a seat in my shop.¡± ¡°Same to you.¡± The two of them reached out and shook hands. Yan Kaize strode out of Good Me milk tea shop. When the surroundings fell silent, Ai Tingya stuck her head out reluctantly with tears still in the corners of her eyes. ¡°What are you still crying for, silly girl?¡± Luo Feng kissed the tears from the corners of Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes. In the past, Ai Tingya would have already pushed Luo Feng away shyly and run away. This time, she did not retreat but advanced instead. Ai Tingya hugged Luo Feng and said, ¡°Seriously, why haven¡¯t I grown up? I really want to marry you quickly.¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s heart nearly stopped, as if something important had shattered. ¡°Wuwu, Your Grandpa¡­ Your Grandpa, I haven¡¯t approved yet!¡± His heart was shouting and roaring. Unfortunately, Ai Tingya could not hear or see. At this moment, she only had eyes for Luo Feng. Luo Feng said regretfully, ¡°What a pity. You can get married in two years¡¯ time, but I¡¯ll have to wait yet another two years.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Ai Tingya thought that Luo Feng did not want to marry her, so her voice rose an octave. Luo Feng scratched Ai Tingya¡¯s nose and said, ¡°Silly girl, you can register your marriage at the age of 20, but I can only do so at the age of 22. Of course, I still have to wait two years.¡± The two of them were the same age, Luo Feng was born in the beginning of the year while Ai Tingya was born at the end of the year. Only then did Ai Tingya react. She plopped into Luo Feng¡¯s arms again. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait another two years. I¡¯ll wait for even 20 years!¡± The two of them hugged each other happily, as if they were the only ones left in the world. When his roommate saw this scene, he, who originally did not believe in love, felt a little jealous. Moreover, Wang Chen, who had a good impression of Ai Tingya, was turning into a lemon spirit. ¡°Well, let¡¯s go back.¡± His roommate did not know how to comfort Wang Chen. Let¡¯s stay away from this sour couple first. Wang Chen looked at their happy backs and sniffled. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¯ve already thought it through.¡± He placed himself in Luo Feng¡¯s position and thought about it carefully. Could he give up the chance to become a multimillionaire for the sake of his goddess? Was her original intention or money more important? The answer was self-evident. Wang Chen knew that he had lost. He had lost completely. Luo Feng was indeed worthy of Ai Tingya. ¡°Then let¡¯s head back?¡± his roommate asked tentatively. He always felt that the calm surface was filled with dark waves. Perhaps if he raised his voice, Wang Chen¡¯s fragile little heart would break. ¡°I already said that it¡¯s fine.¡± Wang Chen took out his phone and said, ¡°We¡¯re not going back to the dormitory. Let¡¯s go to the library!¡± Her roommate thought that he was going to disband the group chat. Unexpectedly, he changed the group name to: ¡°Is Ai Tingya happy today too?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t like Tingya anymore?¡± ¡°Of course I like her, but I want her to be happy.¡± Wang Chen looked at the good weather outside the window. ¡°Time waits for no one. Let¡¯s go study!¡± He knew that he only had the right to choose if he was outstanding and capable! Chapter 114 - 114 Lying To Her To Sign A Contract, Rewarding Her With Real Estate! 114 Lying To Her To Sign A Contract, Rewarding Her With Real Estate! Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya out of his arms with a smile on his face. This smile made Ai Tingya have a bad feeling. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s thoughts raced. She wondered if Luo Feng had been causing trouble behind her back again recently. ¡°Hmm¡­ Let me show you something good.¡± Luo Feng revealed his white teeth and ran behind the bar to take out a few pieces of A4 paper. In the middle was the ¡°Good Me Milk Tea Brand¡¯s Endorsement Contract¡±! A large question mark hung above Ai Tingya¡¯s head. She turned to the last page and realized that her signature was on the day of the photoshoot. ¡°When did you make this?¡± Ai Tingya asked in surprise. On the day of the photoshoot, she was extremely nervous. All her attention was on the photo. She vaguely remembered that Luo Feng had taken a few pieces of paper for her to write on. Ai Tingya only thought that Luo Feng was diverting her attention. She did not expect it to be a contract?! Of course, Ai Tingya was not afraid that Luo Feng would use the contract to trick her. She just did not understand why he had to sign it. ¡°Why do you want me to sign this?¡± After so many days, Ai Tingya finally asked about the contract. Luo Feng pretended to be serious and said, ¡°Madam Ai Tingya, in view of your outstanding performance as a spokesperson, we need to fulfill the remuneration clause in the contract.¡± Upon hearing the word ¡°remuneration¡±, Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes narrowed into slits, and her ominous feeling grew stronger. Luo Feng flipped open the contract and pointed at a bold line. ¡°The endorsement fee will be paid in the form of company shares! The spokesperson, Madam Tingya, will obtain 10% of Ting Feng Corporation¡¯s shares!¡± This¡­ Ai Tingya was speechless. Which company would pay with shares? Was she a brand ambassador? This was getting a father for the company! She thought about it again and felt that there was nothing wrong with it being her own company. Ai Tingya could barely accept it. After all, she and Luo Feng were considered family. The shares would be going from left pocket to right pocket within the family. Luo Feng could do whatever he wanted. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Ai Tingya was about to close the contract. ¡°Wait.¡± Luo Feng took her hand away and flipped to the next page. It was still bold black words, twice the size of the surrounding words! Luo Feng read aloud, ¡°If Madam Ai Tingya creates a profit of more than 100 yuan for Good Me Milk Tea Points during the endorsement process, she will receive an additional reward of 10 properties!¡± A hundred yuan?! When Ai Tingya saw this number, she knew that Luo Feng did it on purpose! Even if the photo sank into the sea and was useless in attracting customers, as long as she came to the milk tea shop to help, it would be considered a profit created during the endorsement process. ¡°You did it on purpose!¡± Ai Tingya was so tired. ¡°Hehe, do you know how to obey the content of the contract?¡± Luo Feng smiled smugly. Before Ai Tingya could flare up, he hugged Ai Tingya and shook her, causing her to not lose her temper. She did not know where to start educating Luo Feng. Originally, she thought that after entering university, Luo Feng¡¯s habit of spending money on her had improved a lot. He no longer had the habit of bargaining in the opposite direction. Unexpectedly, he had held it in! ¡°Do we really have to go?¡± Ai Tingya didn¡¯t want to believe it. ¡°Of course!¡± Luo Feng kissed her forehead. ¡°We¡¯ll go now!¡± Luo Feng had always been in a hurry to spend money. He never let go of any opportunity to spend money on Ai Tingya. He was afraid that if he delayed for another second, Ai Tingya would retreat. Actually, Luo Feng had long thought of a place to buy a house. He called for a car and parked it at the entrance of the sales department. Looking at the luxuriously decorated hall, Luo Feng was a little excited. In his previous life, buying a house could be said to be his lifelong goal. He did not expect it to be realized so quickly. ¡°Let¡¯s go in quickly.¡± Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. Luo Feng turned around and realized that Tingya had taken root on the spot like a tree stump. It was as if the place in front of him was not his dream home, but a mountain of blades and a sea of flames. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go back?¡± Ai Tingya took a step back in retreat and said, ¡°Look, the milk tea shop has just opened. The investment and output haven¡¯t evened out yet, but you¡¯re in a hurry to buy a house¡­ Isn¡¯t this a little stressful?¡± Ai Tingya was still a little afraid of taking a loan. ¡°The contract has been signed. You want to go back on your word?¡± Luo Feng raised his eyebrows. He really had the temperament of a creditor that deserved a beating. ¡°I hope you can go back on your word,¡± Ai Tingya said sincerely. ¡°I never go back on my word.¡± ¡°You can go back on your word!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°You can do it!¡± ¡°No,¡± Luo Feng said righteously. ¡°I. Won¡¯t.¡± He pulled the unwilling Ai Tingya into the sales hall. These two years were the eve of rapid economic development. Real estate was still developing slowly. The land in a first-tier city had yet to reach the astronomical price during this period in his previous life. It was the best time to buy it. The housing price in the city where Oxford was located was eight to nine thousand yuan per square meter in a normal area. A better neighborhood fetched 12,300 yuan per square meter. Luo Feng had 10 million yuan in his hands, which was all his budget for buying a house. Even though he could not buy a top-notch villa, it was more than enough to buy a few properties in a better location. Originally, he wanted to buy a good one at once after taking more cashback. However, thinking that Ai Tingya might not be able to take it, Luo Feng could only let it go. Luo Feng carefully selected a good high-end district. It was about 15,000 yuan per square meter. Even though it was a little more expensive than ordinary buildings, there was a lot of room for appreciation. Ai Tingya saw a billboard more than a meter tall at the door. The eye-catching ¡°15,000 yuan¡± made her mind buzz. She did not know the price of houses in first-tier cities before they came. The value of houses was still at the level of a small county. She originally thought that with tens of thousands of yuan in her pocket, she could be calmer when facing things. She did not expect that this amount of money was not enough to buy a toilet! When Ai Tingya saw the room that was ten times more expensive than Crown City, she wanted to run even more! ¡°Do you want to think about it again?¡± Ai Tingya grabbed Luo Feng and felt that she was incompatible with this place. She wanted Luo Feng to think about it again. Did they really have the right to come here? ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng stroked the messy hair on Ai Tingya¡¯s forehead. ¡°This step will happen sooner or later. We have to face it.¡± He whispered into Ai Tingya¡¯s ear, ¡°Don¡¯t you like buying a wedding house in advance?¡± Ai Tingya felt her ears burning and couldn¡¯t help but dodge. Of course, she wanted to have her own home with Luo Feng. It was indeed only a matter of time before she bought a house. When she thought of their future life in their new home, Ai Tingya could not wait. The housing prices seemed to have become less terrifying. ¡°Then¡­ let¡¯s take a look first,¡± Ai Tingya said shyly. ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll go elsewhere.¡± ¡°Good girl.¡± The two of them walked past the front hall and into the waiting room at the back. They instantly attracted the attention of the sales ladies. Chapter 115 ?115 You Are Short On Money Even Though You Have Ten Million Yuan? The sales ladies¡¯ gazes were attracted by the two of them. It was not that they had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that there were rich people hiding behind ordinary people¡¯s masks. It was just that Luo Feng and Tingya were dressed like students. It was obvious that they could not afford a house. Even though the housing price was not high now, it was not low either. Those who could afford a house were middle-aged people with fixed salaries. Newly graduated students could not afford a house unless they were rich second-generation heirs. The sales department is very close to Oxford and there are several other universities nearby. Students often wander here. The sales ladies would also welcome them with smiles, but they would not specially entertain them. This rule could be said to be a convention. All the old employees knew it and passed it with a smile. A new employee saw this and prepared to receive him. ¡°Mary, there¡¯s no need to go,¡± a woman stopped her and said. ¡°It¡¯ll be useless.¡± The saleswoman called Mary didn¡¯t quite understand. ¡°But they¡¯re guests too, Jessica. I don¡¯t understand.¡± Mary had only been here for two or three days. She had the ignorance of a newbie and did not know how to look after people. As long as someone entered, they were guests. ¡°How can someone at that age have the money to buy a house? Even if he¡¯s a rich second-generation heir, he¡¯ll make an appointment directly. He¡¯ll enter the VIP room when he comes in and won¡¯t wander around the hall,¡± Jessica, who was older and had arrived earlier, explained. She took another look at Ai Tingya. This was the first time she had seen such a good-looking young lady. She couldn¡¯t help but want to go forward and hit on her. Mary was a newbie and didn¡¯t expect to sell the house immediately. However, she would be more motivated to work today if she could talk to the beautiful young lady. ¡­ The sales hall was in full swing. The sellers said that they wanted to dry their saliva and analyze the building, hoping that the customers would pay immediately to sign the contract. The buyers were hesitant. They always wanted to compare the goods. When they heard about all kinds of preferential activities, even though they were tempted to agree, they were not in a hurry to pay. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya stood in front of each building model for a while and felt that they were very satisfied. Compared to the crazy price of houses in the future, he would not lose out even if he closed his eyes and bought them now. Moreover, the district that Luo Feng had his eyes on was not far from Oxford. In the future, it would be a proper school district house. The surrounding facilities were very complete, and there were ready-made shopping malls and hospitals. It was very suitable be it for investment or for living. Luo Feng could already foresee how fiercely the property here had risen. ¡°It looks really good.¡± Ai Tingya looked at the layout of the district. Just the model alone was very tempting. The district was very green. An artificial river ran through the district, and dense trees were planted on both sides. Each building only had six floors, and there were only six buildings in the entire district. They were very far apart and were very quiet. The developer might want to create the high-end feeling of the neighborhood, with a gym and swimming pool. ¡°Luo Feng, are there koi fish in the river?¡± Ai Tingya pointed at the small fish models in the river. ¡°I heard that there is.¡± Wang Yun glanced at the description on it. ¡°It seems to be a relatively good breed.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s anything you want to know, you can ask me directly.¡± At this moment, a voice interrupted their conversation. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya turned around and realized that it was a girl wearing black-rimmed glasses. She was not much older than them, and there was a hint of shyness in her Class smile. Mary stood in front of the two of them, her kind eyes staring at Ai Tingya. Mary also knew that the possibility of the two of them buying a house was very small. She was bored standing at the door to welcome the guests, and her face was almost stiff from smiling. Since they were both boring jobs, she might as well come and chat with the pretty lady. Moreover, Mary had just joined the company not long ago. She needed to hone her ability to sell buildings. Seeing that Mary was staring at her, Ai Tingya smiled and said, ¡°Uh¡­ we¡¯re just looking around. We haven¡¯t¡­¡± Luo Feng continued, ¡°We want to buy a bigger house.¡± Mary subconsciously asked in surprise, ¡°Buy a house?¡± ¡°Why?¡± Luo Feng asked in confusion, ¡°Is it strange to buy a house here?¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Mary was suddenly a little nervous. She had only come over to chat for a while, but she did not expect to immediately get into work mode. ¡°Please¡­ May I ask¡­ What¡¯s your budget?¡± Mary followed the procedure and did not have much hope. Luo Feng blurted out, ¡°12 million.¡± ¡°Ah?!¡± Mary and Tingya widened their mouths at the same time, suspecting that they had heard wrongly. Perhaps this handsome young man was talking about 1.2 million yuan¡­ That seemed ridiculous enough. He didn¡¯t look like he had a strong family background! Mary secretly sized up the two of them. No matter how she looked at them, they looked like Normal students. She looked at Ai Tingya again. Why are you surprised, pretty lady? Didn¡¯t you come together? Ai Tingya looked like she was about to be frightened to death. She knew that Luo Feng was rich, but she did not know that he was so rich. Luo Feng added, ¡°I¡¯m a little tight on money. Let¡¯s look at houses at this price point first.¡± He sounded a little regretful and sincere. Mary roared in her heart. Big Brother, do you really know what money means? She felt dizzy. Could a newbie like her really take on such a big job? ¡°Hehe¡­ You¡¯re so funny.¡± Mary¡¯s mouth twitched. She really did not know how to respond to Luo Feng. Actually, Luo Feng really felt that way. He had been reborn for almost two years, but he had only saved up 10 million yuan. He could lead that silly Ai Tingya to the peak of her life as long as she felt a little at ease! Thinking of this, Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya meaningfully. ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± Ai Tingya felt that there were many things in Luo Feng¡¯s eyes, but she could not understand them. Why did she feel helpless? ¡°Nothing.¡± Luo Feng shrugged. It seemed that he had to think of more ways to invest in Ai Tingya in the future. Luo Feng retracted his gaze and said to the distracted Mary, ¡°Do you have a suitable recommendation?¡± ¡°Ah? Yes!¡± Mary said nervously. ¡°Yes, there might be a limited range of choices. Our house is¡­ might be¡­ might be a little cheap for you.¡± Mary didn¡¯t know what she was talking about. It was a big taboo for sales to expose the shortcomings of goods first. But she didn¡¯t expect to evaluate a house as cheap when she couldn¡¯t afford it. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Luo Feng felt that this location was very good. ¡°Bring us around first.¡± ¡°Okay, this way, please.¡± Mary led the two of them to an interior model and introduced, ¡°Most of the houses in our neighborhood are ordinary residences of 100 square meters, but there are special large penthouses on the top floor. For example, the one you¡¯re looking at now is what it looks like after renovation. I wonder if it suits you?¡± Chapter 116 ?116 Chapter 116 No Need To Say Any Further, I Want This House! In fact, Mary didn¡¯t hold out too much hope. She didn¡¯t think much about the financial might of Luo Feng. It was only human for a boyfriend to want to save face in front of his girlfriend. The main reason was that the type of apartment Luo Feng wanted was too expensive. There were six buildings in total with six penthouses. Two were sold a year ago, as for the remaining four, even the agents with the most dexterous tongues in the sales department were unable to sell them once the prospective buyers heard of the price. Mary didn¡¯t think she was a good salesman, just doing her job. ¡°There are two floors to one unit. The house door would be visible once the lift door opens. The penthouses have their own individual lifts, so there is no need to crowd with other residents.¡± Mary led the two to the model of the house. Luo Feng¡¯s eyes lit up, instantly liking this house even more. It could be seen from the apartment type that the developer has put a lot of effort into the design. The other apartment types were very conventional with three bedrooms and one living room. What Luo Feng saw was completely different. The upper and lower floors added up to more than 400 square meters, and the entrance on the first floor was a large living room of more than 100 square meters. A whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows formed a wall, and the sight line is open and grand. One could see the lush trees in the community sitting in the living room. He scrutinized the model, like a child looking at a new toy through a window. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be too hot to live on the top floor?¡± Ai Tingya asked, seeing that Luo Feng really liked it. Mary pointed to a piece of greenery on the top floor and said: ¡°We have also considered this. If you want to purchase it, we will make it a small garden. You can also make it a fish pond, depending on what you like.¡± ¡°For free?¡± Ai Tingya was surprised and became a little moved when she heard it. It was a little wild to give away such a large piece of land directly. When Luo Feng saw the place belonging to the small garden, his eyes were starry. ¡°If you like, I can take you to see it now. This model is unable to show you its grandeur, and the house is just behind¡­¡± Mary continued. ¡°No need to say anything more¡­¡± Luo Feng interrupted. Mary sighed silently in her heart seeing this scene. According to the fixed procedure, the two guests would pick out some faults, and then say that they will go to the next one to have a look. Her conversation with this beautiful girl would end here. Mary was already prepared to send the guests out. ¡°No need to say anything more, I want this house! Where do I sign the agreement?¡± Luo Feng said. Mary felt a little uneasy seeing that Luo Feng was in such a hurry, ¡°I¡¯d better show you the house. Buying a house is a big deal after all. If you just look at the model, it¡¯s a bit¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need, let¡¯s settle the procedures.¡± Luo Feng insisted. ¡°Ah¡­ Ok¡­ Just a moment. ¡°Mary turned around stiffly, as if a pie the size of a tire had suddenly fallen from the sky and hit her on the head. ¡­ Mary walked back to the front desk in a daze, and the nosey Jessica came over, sensing something was up. Jessica smiled and said, ¡°How about it? I said that young students don¡¯t have the money to buy a house. You just have to try it since you don¡¯t believe me. You must be in shock.¡± Mary shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m in shock but the house is sold, I haven¡¯t reacted to it yet.¡± Jessica¡¯s eyes widened, and she said incredulously, ¡°Really? I haven¡¯t heard of which set is sold.¡± Mary pointed to the large flat layer on the model and said, ¡°That¡¯s the one, he wants it at the full price without any hesitation.¡± Mary was secretly wondering when she could be so decisive, thinking of Luo Feng¡¯s handsome posture when he took out his bank card. The chances of seeing something like that happen might be very slim for a lifetime, but once you see it, you will never forget it. ¡°Mary, you are doing so well!¡± Jessica clapped her hands, and the old employee asked the new employee for advice, ¡°How did you recommend it to the customer? Did you use the words we were taught during training?¡± Mary shook her head, grimacing. ¡°I just briefly introduced the basic situation of the unit. He was in a hurry to swipe his card, and he didn¡¯t give me any chance to perform before I even got to the promotion stage!¡± Mary beat her chest in pain, she didn¡¯t expect the transaction to be over so soon, and she still wanted to say a few more words to the pretty girl. Jessica didn¡¯t know what to say for a while. She would have personally received them if she had known it would be so easy. Jessica glanced at the sofa in the sales hall. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had outstanding looks, the kind that can be recognized at a glance even if they are thrown in a crowd. The two drank the tea provided by the sales office and looked around boredly. Jessica poked Mary with her elbow and said, ¡°Don¡¯t think about anything else, go through the formalities with the guests, or they might change their minds after a while.¡± Marie rubbed her cheeks and made herself smile manually. She was not very familiar with the communication process because she was still a rookie. She decided to ask Jessica to help her complete the next steps in order not to cause a bad house-buying experience for the guests. ¡°Hello, please sign your name here. Mr. Luo Feng? Okay, please wait a moment.¡± Jessica received Luo Feng and Ai Tingya very professionally. The news that the two wanted to buy a large penthouse seemed to grow legs, and quickly spread among the sales girls. They all want to see what rich young people look like. Luo Feng didn¡¯t know if it was an illusion, he felt that there were too many salesmen passing by. ¡°Please provide a copy of your ID card, which is required when applying for a real estate certificate.¡± Jessica smiled. It was Luo Feng who signed before, so Jessica naturally asked him for a copy of the ID card. Luo Feng took out his ID card, thought for a while and felt something was wrong, took back his ID card and said, ¡°Take my girlfriend¡¯s ID card. Such simple yet powerful words, Jessica tried her best to restrain her surprised expression, and said, ¡°Sir, do you mean that you want to register the apartment under this young lady?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng nodded affirmatively. Jessica¡¯s hand holding the contract trembled slightly. Are young people these days so wilful? A house worth more than 10 million yuan was not a 1,000 yuan model, which could be given back if you asked. This was just a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, not a married couple with common interests! It was not that Jessica thought badly about human relationships. But the heart of guarding against others was indispensable. The house would be completely handed over to the lady if they were to break up one day. Jessica had been in this business for almost seven or eight years, and this was the first time she has seen such a situation. She was shocked and felt that her smile could no longer be maintained, so she turned to Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Miss, please provide a copy of your ID card.¡± Hearing this, Ai Tingya sat motionless on the sofa, not at all intending to show her ID card. ¡°Luo Feng, I can¡¯t take this house.¡± Ai Tingya said after hesitating for a while. Chapter 117 - 117 I Just Want To Give You A Home, Thats All 117 I Just Want To Give You A Home, That¡¯s All Jessica has been selling homes for the last seven or eight years. As the old saying goes, there would be stories where money was concerned. She had witnessed all kinds of life in various sales departments. Some young couples joined hands to buy a house, but broke up because of the ownership issue. There were also big shots with their little lovers, where the little lover would hold the big shot¡¯s face and imprint a sweet kiss when the deal was completed. Or middle-aged couples buying a house for their children, worrying about every detail. Jessica had the confidence to handle whatever request her customers had, no matter how difficult or tricky, perfectly. It was the first time she¡¯s seen the people who bought a house and did not want their name under the house. ¡°Sorry, I can¡¯t accept this house.¡± Ai Tingya refused bluntly. Jessica stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to persuade her. In her understanding, very few human beings could refuse the temptation of 10 million yuan. How could this girl be so lucky to be able to meet a generous boyfriend, who trusted her 100% to directly put a 10 million yuan real estate in her name! Jessica admitted that she was jealous. Where could she find such a boyfriend too? However, it was not the time to be envious, Jessica looked embarrassed and looked at Luo Feng: ¡°Mr. Luo, what should I¡­¡± Luo Feng signaled her not to worry, he had expected the situation of being rejected by Ai Tingya, Luo Feng could be said to be very familiar with dealing with this kind of situation. He moved his butt and sat beside Ai Tingya, took her hand in his and said earnestly: ¡°Tingya, listen to me¡­¡± ¡°No,¡± Ai Tingya interrupted him directly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to listen.¡± Ai Tingya was also very familiar with Luo Feng foolishly spending money on her. She had no resistance to Luo Feng, and would be led by the nose if he said a few more words. So Ai Tingya simply refused to listen. As long as she didn¡¯t listen, she would be able to insist on her own opinion! She already owed Luo Feng too much, and to be honest, she was under a lot of pressure. Ai Tingya still remembered the time when Dean Du spoke to her about Luo Feng always trying his best to spend money for her. At that time, Dean Du said that if the two get married in the future, these things will still belong to Luo Feng, so there was no need to worry about the details. Otherwise, she would be putting a lot of pressure on herself. Ai Tingya felt that what Dean Du said made sense. But it was a totally different feeling when actually facing it. Of course she wanted to marry Luo Feng, so she worked hard all the time, hoping to become a good woman worthy of Luo Feng. However, her growth rate can¡¯t keep up with Luo Feng¡¯s dedication. Ai Tingya was terrified, afraid that Luo Feng would spend a lot of money on her. She was afraid that Luo Feng would find out that she was different from what he had imagined after getting to know her better, afraid that he would regret it. Therefore, Ai Tingya didn¡¯t speak up when Luo Feng signed, because it was Luo Feng¡¯s money, and he had the right to use it freely. However, Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t let it go when it came to putting the real estate under her name. The 10 million yuan was really like a big mountain,crushing her so much that she couldn¡¯t breathe. Ai Tingya¡¯s attitude was very firm, she didn¡¯t even look at Luo Feng. Luo Feng can¡¯t let Ai Tingya mess up his cash back plan! If he spent more than 10 million yuan, he would earn 100 million yuan. It was ten times more! Even winning the lottery would not be able to keep up with the speed of getting rich. ¡°Tingya, why don¡¯t you look at me?¡± Luo Feng said softly. He was confident that he could persuade Ai Tingya as long as she looked at him. Ai Tingya turned around, looked at Luo Feng¡¯s face with both eyes, and said helplessly: ¡°Don¡¯t try to convince me, I won¡¯t compromise on anything this time.¡± Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, it seemed that the silly girl was really determined this time. It didn¡¯t matter, he would still make her agree anyway! Luo Feng heaved a long sigh, cupped his hands around Ai Tingya¡¯s, as if warming her, and said slowly: ¡°Tingya, actually this is my long-cherished wish and my promise to you.¡± Ai Tingya didn¡¯t remember that Luo Feng promised to buy a house for her. Luo Feng smiled and said: ¡°Do you remember what I said about having a home with you? I¡¯m working hard in this direction! After buying this house, you can choose the furniture style you like, and paint the walls you like color, we can enjoy the shade in the small garden, and you can also buy some fish you like to raise.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s heart was shaken hearing about the fishes. But she can¡¯t make dumplings for a plate of vinegar! She had never heard of buying a house worth 10 million yuan for rearing fishes! ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? I¡¯m trying to build a small home for us!¡± Small? Ai Tingya felt that Luo Feng¡¯s definition of small was really ambiguous. ¡°I just want to be with you forever, don¡¯t you want to?¡± Luo Feng pretended to be wronged. Ai Tingya¡¯s soft-hearted weakness is very easy to handle. ¡°Of course I want to.¡± Ai Tingya hurriedly expressed her opinion. Luo Feng spread his hands and said, ¡°Then give me your ID card, our small home will be closer to us.¡± Ai Tingya obediently took out her ID card and handed it to Jessica to go through the formalities. After sitting for a while she recalled it. What was the relationship between building a small home and buying a house? Luo Feng was fooling her again. Luo Feng guessed what Ai Tingya wanted to say, she was not stupid after all. ¡°Tingya, I¡¯m serious.¡± Luo Feng put away the expression specially designed for coaxing children, and said seriously, ¡°Since you and I have decided to spend our lives together, my things are yours. To be honest, every time you refuse, I feel you break my heart a little bit.¡± ¡°No!¡± Ai Tingya was distracted by Luo Feng again, and strongly denied, ¡°I¡¯m not disagreeing with that, I just think it¡¯s more appropriate to put it under your name!¡± ¡°But I want to give you a sense of security.¡± Luo Feng stared straight into Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes, and said sincerely, ¡°I think your love for me is priceless, I don¡¯t know how to repay you with the same love, I can only express it with these vulgar expressions. Don¡¯t reject me, okay?¡± ¡°¡­Okay.¡± Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng, suddenly couldn¡¯t find a reason to refuse him, and could only agree. Jessica, who was standing aside, was about to lose her big sore teeth. While she was exposed to alot of lovey dovey during the course of her work, this was the first time that she has had such a large portion. ¡°Don¡¯t envy, don¡¯t envy, don¡¯t envy!¡± Jessica said silently in her heart. If she didn¡¯t say it like this, she was afraid that jealousy would make her look completely different! Is this the legendary love? Love that is more precious than gold, brighter than diamonds?! Jessica returned to the front desk with a sad face. It was the first time Mary saw Jessica like this, she thought it was because the signing of the contract was not going well, so she asked concerned: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Jessica recounted what she had seen and heard just now, and cried: ¡°Whoa! Why can¡¯t I meet such a good boy? You don¡¯t know, my professional smile almost didn¡¯t stop just now, and I was envious again. Jealousy came out at the same time, I wanted to look more and want to go away quickly, so I got entangled.¡± After she finished speaking, she found that Mary¡¯s face was indifferent, and she asked puzzledly: ¡°Mary, why don¡¯t you feel it at all? Don¡¯t you want to have precious love? Or a penthouse worth 10 million yuan?¡± Mary shrugged her shoulders and said calmly: ¡°Not at all, the beautiful lady is also very kind, so naturally she should be matched with a good man.¡± Chapter 118 ?118 Chapter 118 Boss, Why Did You Jump Backwards First? The procedures were completed quickly, and a week later, the real estate title deed with Ai Tingya¡¯s name was sent to Good Me Milk Tea Shop. The employees surrounded Ai Tingya curiously, asking her to open it quickly. Xiao Fei sat down next to Ai Tingya. This girl sometimes showed possessiveness towards Ai Tingya, often making Luo Feng a wallpaper. She hugged Ai Tingya¡¯s arm. ¡°Xiaoya, hurry up!¡± Xiao Fei kept urging Ai Tingya. Xiao Fei leaned over and saw the words ¡°400 square meters¡± on the red book, and asked curiously, ¡°Xiaoya, how big is 400 square meters? Is it bigger than our yard?¡± The orphanage had a front yard and a back yard in addition to one building. Xiao Fei didn¡¯t have much idea about housing, so she took the whole orphanage as a reference. Ai Tingya smiled and said, ¡°Of course not.¡± ¡°How big is that then? Is it bigger than the room we sleep in?¡± Xiao Fei asked again. The room where she and Ai Tingya slept was only a dozen square meters, and they used bunk beds to save space. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t know how to describe it specifically, and said with a smile: ¡°You¡¯ll know when you visit after the renovation.¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Xiao Fei clapped her hands happily, and finally said enviously, ¡°That¡¯s great, Xiaoya, you have your own house, and you can sleep in a big room in the future. Luo Feng is really kind to you.¡± The other employees were also very envious, and praised the fairy love story of the boss and the wife. ¡°The boss is too arrogant, he quietly bought a big gift for his wife!¡± ¡°Boohoo, boss, do you have any brothers?¡± ¡°The boss is handsome and good at making money, moreover, he is so generous to the boss¡¯s wife, he is a perfect example of a boyfriend!¡± Ai Tingya was so embarrassed by the compliment, she blushed and kept laughing. At this time, Luo Feng turned around from behind the bar and said, ¡°Well said! I am happy today, so I have made a big decision!¡± Ai Tingya and the staff raised their curious faces and all stared at Luo Feng. ¡°I want to give all of you a new dormitory!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The employees expressed surprise. The dormitory conditions that Luo Feng arranged for them at the beginning were already very good compared to other places. While several people lived together, it was not crowded at all, and everyone worked and went home together so they felt like family. There was really no need to arrange for other dormitories. Luo Feng said: ¡°I thought about it. Since the milk tea shop will be vigorously developed here in the future, the current dormitory will definitely not be enough, so I want to buy a building and strive for each of you to have a room of your own!¡± In fact, the accommodation conditions were not bad now, transportation and meals were very convenient. But if a few more employees were recruited, the dormitory would appear to be very cramped. Otherwise, Luo Feng would have to look for another house. It would be too troublesome, why not solve all future accommodation problems at once. Moreover, it would be an investment in the milk tea shop, and it would be a large rebate. When Xiao Fei heard it, stars appeared in her eyes: ¡°Really? I can also have my own room?¡± She lived with Ai Tingya since she was a child. While she didn¡¯t feel any inconvenience, she also fantasized about having a private space of her own. ¡°Of course.¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°Can I cover my walls with idol posters?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Can I tie a hammock next to my bed?¡± ¡°Can I dress like a princess?¡± ¡°Yes. As long as you are working for the company, you can live in the dormitory forever. You can do whatever you want.¡± ¡°No, you can live for free as an employee benefit.¡± Xiao Fei has all kinds of fantasies about her room, but she used to have roommates, so she didn¡¯t dare to be too casual, worrying about causing trouble to others. If she had her own little room, she could dress up however she wanted, buy a princess bed, mix and match the walls with black paint, and no one would say anything. ¡°Woo! Luo Feng, you are so kind!¡± Xiao Fei was so moved that she almost cried. She felt that Luo Feng was simply the protector of their orphanage. Originally, she would have to go to the factory assembly line after graduation because she couldn¡¯t study well and didn¡¯t have any skills. However Luo Feng offered her a job. The salary would be much higher than her peers and treatment would be good. The boss gave out super big benefits from time to time. Xiao Fei not only saved money, but also had time to do things that interest her. Everything was thanks to Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. Of course she had to take the lead as Ai Tingya¡¯s top bestie in the world! ¡°Colleagues! The boss is so nice, don¡¯t we have to work hard?¡± Xiao Fei stood on the stool and raised her right arm high, like a mobilization meeting. The employees below also responded positively. ¡°I have decided to follow the boss and the boss¡¯s wife for the rest of my life!¡± ¡°I have to work in the store 24 hours a day! I just live in the store!¡± ¡°Please let me work overtime, I really like this job!¡± It was the first time Luo Feng saw such an outrageous request: ¡°Everyone, calm down, I¡¯m still looking for a suitable dormitory building. You¡¯ll be happy when you move in. Besides, our store is not open 24 hours a day.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Xiao Fei interrupted Luo Feng sharply, ¡°You don¡¯t even know how busy everyone is at this job! Boss, what do you know about loving your job and being dedicated to your job!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luo Feng was speechless, why did these words sound strange? Xiao Fei jumped off the stool and said respectfully: ¡°But you are the owner who created the milk tea shop, we still respect you very much.¡± ¡°Ahahaha, as long as everyone is happy.¡± Luo Feng laughed. He turned and realized that Ai Tingya was glaring at him. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t know about buying a dormitory at all. They had just bought a new house, and she was ready to cut down on food and clothing. Who knew that Luo Feng would buy another real estate?! She could not keep up with this speed of spending even if she did not eat or drink anything. Ai Tingya felt a lot of pressure, she never questioned Luo Feng¡¯s source of funds, but she deduced that it should be all loans. Luo Feng was very business-minded, and he would be able to pay back soon. But how long would it take to pay up the real estate¡­ Ai Tingya did not even dare to think about it. ¡°Tingya, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng asked, why are you upset? ¡°Hmph.¡± Ai Tingya turned her head to ignore Luo Feng. She thought that they would work harder together to make the business of the milk tea shop better, and help Luo Feng pay it back together. Ai Tingya was planning about how to make money when Xiao Fei expressed her dissatisfaction. ¡°You can¡¯t hmph our boss even if you are his wife!¡± She jumped out to protect Luo Feng, dazed by the new benefits. ¡°???¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Aren¡¯t you from my maternal family? How can you help Luo Feng?¡± ¡°Family is family, and work is work. You must respect your boss in the workplace.¡± Xiao Fei sternly rejected the connection she had with the boss¡¯s wife and voted for the boss. Based on what she knew about Ai Tingya, it was definitely Luo Feng¡¯s idea to buy the property. It was not that Xiao Fei felt that Ai Tingya was stingy, her living environment shaped Ai Tingya into a person who would only make a move if she was prepared enough. It was too scary for Ai Tingya to live on credit. Chapter 119 ?119 Chapter 119 The Opponent Who Appeared Out Of The Blue! Luo Feng was generous, of course Xiao Fei would want to hug Luo Feng¡¯s thigh tightly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xiaoya, it¡¯s working hours now, everything is based on the boss¡¯s standards!¡± Xiao Fei said with a firm face, ¡°Not even if you are Xiaoya!¡± Ai Tingya was wronged: ¡°Are you ignoring our sisterhood of more than ten years?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always distinguished between public and private matters.¡± Xiao Fei became Luo Feng¡¯s most staunch supporter as she continued to speak. She thought that Luo Feng would feel her sincerity since she had such a clear-cut attitude. Xiao Fei looked at Luo Feng expectantly, hoping that he would give her an affirmation. Luo Feng looked at Xiao Fei, then at Ai Tingya, and finally walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side with certainty, and softly persuaded: ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, I will definitely discuss it with you next time, don¡¯t ignore me.¡± Ai Tingya pretended to be angry and said: ¡°Hmph, Xiao Fei is with you, just leave me alone if you don¡¯t get along with me.¡± Luo Feng coaxed: ¡°How can I be willing to let you be alone.¡± ¡°Everyone is only listening to you, boss.¡± ¡°But the boss listens to the boss¡¯s wife.¡± The two were mushing together, and the other employees didn¡¯t want to watch it sourly, so they pretended that they still had things to do. Xiao Fei knew that she was fighting a losing battle seeing that and walked up to Ai Tingya with a flattering smile: ¡°Xiaoya, I was just joking, we will always be good friends, right?¡± ¡°Hmph, I want to punish you and ignore you for 10 minutes.¡± Ai Tingya turned around mercilessly. Xiao Fei felt that 10 minutes was too long so she looked at Luo Feng sadly. I was busy trying to gain momentum for my boss, but my boss turned his back on me first! Xiao Fei felt sad for several days because of this, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ai Tingya was the best. She knew that Ai Tingya would not be really angry. But the more Xiao Fei thought about Luo Feng¡¯s stinky appearance of abandoning her without mercy, the more she wanted to give Ai Tingya a gift. Three days after the incident of buying real estate, Xiao Fei saw that there were not many customers, so she took an hour off from the store to buy a small gift for Ai Tingya. Xiaofei walked to the street corner, where there was an exquisite stationery store thinking of Ai Tingya mentioning that the desk lamp was broken in the past two days. Xiao Fei hummed a tune and walked over. She was stunned on the spot. There was actually a ¡°Good Me Milk Tea Shop¡± beside the stationery shop? Xiao Fei rubbed her eyes and realized that the milk tea shop was called the ¡°Goud Me Milk Tea Shop¡±? There were flower baskets for opening at the entrance of the shop, and colorful streamers were all over the ground. The newly opened shop had a discount sign and attracted a lot of customers. Xiao Fei knew that the renovation of her shop was done by Luo Feng. It was impossible for it to be a popular style unless it was deliberately imitated. She knew that this shop was their opponent! Xiao Fei ran back to her milk tea shop. She pushed open the door and said in a panic, ¡°Oh no, someone cloned our shop!¡± ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng turned around and saw that Xiao Fei was sweating profusely and very anxious. Ai Tingya handed her a glass of water and said, ¡°Calm down. Don¡¯t be anxious.¡± Xiao Fei pointed in the direction of the street entrance and said, ¡°Not far ahead, there¡¯s a shop that¡¯s very similar to our renovation style. It¡¯s called Goud Me! It¡¯s obvious that they¡¯re snatching business from us.¡± Ai Tingya said in surprise, ¡°How can that be?¡± The milk tea shop¡¯s business had just been on the right track. How could there be a competitor so quickly? ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya walked to the street entrance. The opening of the new shop was very eye-catching. Luo Feng had expected it, but he could not help but be surprised when he saw it. It could not be said that it was exactly the same. It was simply too similar. The word Xiao Fei used, ¡°clone¡±, was very accurate. Especially the soulful signboard. There were many foreigners around who did not understand Chinese characters. They really could not tell the difference at a glance. Ai Tingya remembered this place. Xiao Fei and she liked to go to the stationery shop beside it. Previously, when this milk tea shop was being renovated, it had surrounded the outside tightly and occupied most of the sidewalk. Xiao Fei had even complained. At that time, Ai Tingya did not pay much attention to it. It was actually stealing the fruit of their results! The blockage previously was clearly done on purpose! No matter how good-tempered Tingya was, she could not help but grit her teeth in the face of such a situation. She did not have a good impression of the owner of this shop at all. His methods were too despicable! ¡°I should have applied for a patent.¡± Luo Feng scratched his head. Perhaps applying for a patent could not guarantee the uniqueness of his shop. There were many ways to imitate it, but this shop chose the most straightforward one. Luo Feng realized that not only was the name and renovation style similar to his own, even the milk tea menu was also similar. This was something that could not be protected no matter how much he applied for a patent. ¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡± Ai Tingya pulled Luo Feng angrily. She really did not want to see this shop again. Luo Feng¡¯s heart did not waver at all but he was also affected when he saw that Ai Tingya was unhappy. He felt that the milk tea shop that made Ai Tingya unhappy was too much. He led Ai Tingya back. ¡°Actually, we expected this situation,¡± Luo Feng said. Ai Tingya was a smart person. Like Luo Feng, she had a premonition that the competition would begin soon on the day she rejected Yan Kaize. They had also guessed who the owner of the new milk tea shop would be and would not be too far off. The only thing they did not expect was that the other party was doing it so brazenly and so close. They must have targeted the students of the nearby universities. The spending power of young people was really great. Moreover, Good Me had also opened the era of the new milk tea. Ai Tingya said angrily, ¡°Their prices are lower than ours.¡± There would be a discount a few days before the opening, but the menu was at an official price. Students without much money were very sensitive to the price. If it continued, it would be disadvantageous to Luo Feng. Actually, Good Me¡¯s price was already very low while maintaining the real materials compared to other milk tea shops. They had their own raw materials processing factory, which was a huge competitive advantage. The other party¡¯s price was even lower! Luo Feng did a mental calculation. If the other party used the same good materials, they would be operating at a loss at the current price. It would be very difficult for them to make a profit. However, they could increase the price when Good Me was squeezed out. If the materials were worse than Good Me but the taste was similar, it would be a huge threat if they could snatch Good Me¡¯s guests while making a profit! It was really sinister! ¡°What should we do? Should we lower the price too?¡± Ai Tingya tightened her grip on Luo Feng¡¯s hand. Luo Feng shook his head and said, ¡°A short reduction in the price won¡¯t solve the problem. The other party wants to compete with us in terms of price. Either their raw materials are not as good as ours, or the other party has strong funds behind them. We have to take a long-term approach.¡± ¡°What approach?¡± Ai Tingya asked worriedly. They had just bought a house. They might not be able to compete with their funds. Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°Buy a building!¡± Chapter 120 - 120 Delighted To Obtain A Skill Card, Employees Are Also Upgraded 120 Delighted To Obtain A Skill Card, Employees Are Also Upgraded Ai Tingya was rarely so speechless. The competitors had already begun to burn money but Luo Feng had yet to give up on buying a building. She had been trying her best to save money, but she could not save up a building no matter what. ¡°Stop joking. I¡¯m talking serious business with you!¡± Ai Tingya rolled her eyes at Luo Feng. ¡°What are we going to rely on to compete if you spent your money on the building?¡± Luo Feng shook his head unfathomably, indicating that she did not understand his ingenious intentions. Price wars were the most common method of capitalism. First, wash away the opponents who lacked funds and the pricing would be up to them when they become the dominating one surviving. While it was very difficult for any one brand in the milk tea industry to dominate, Luo Feng might be the first to be eliminated if he did not have enough funds. Luo Feng was preparing for the future. Even though he had 100 million yuan in cash flow, Yan Kaize was the CEO of the company after all and had deep pockets. It was still a little lacking to compete with him with 100 million yuan. Luo Feng had to obtain a large cash back as soon as possible. Only then could he continue to waste time with his competitors! The first step was to convince Ai Tingya. ¡°Think about it. We can¡¯t put the eggs in the same basket. We might not be able to beat the other party in terms of funds, so we definitely have to move the battlefield and open more branches.¡± Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t we need to recruit employees to open branches? Isn¡¯t it reasonable for me to buy a building as an employee dormitory?¡± ¡°Even so, there¡¯s no need to buy a building,¡± Ai Tingya said hesitantly. There were many houses for rent nearby. Renting another two would save a lot of money compared to renting a building. Luo Feng put on an experienced-like expression and said, ¡°No, no, no. You can¡¯t just look at the present and think that we¡¯ll open two or three more branches. Tingya, think about it. We have more than 10 employees in one shop now. If we open seven or eight more, we won¡¯t have nearly 200 employees? To be honest, it¡¯s very tiring to look for a house every time we do a recruitment.¡± Ai Tingya was in a daze. She actually felt that what Luo Feng said made sense. ¡°That seems to be the case¡­¡± She felt that something was wrong, but she could not say what it was. She could only listen to Luo Feng¡¯s arrangements. ¡°Are you confident? The money required to buy a building is not a small sum.¡± Ai Tingya confirmed one last time. ¡°Of course, when has my decision ever gone wrong?¡± In order to dispel Ai Tingya¡¯s concerns, Luo Feng added, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that our food factory also has an income.¡± Currently, the company only has three milk tea shops under its name, one in Crown City, one in Nanlin, and one near the university. If the food factory only produced raw materials, it would have long suffered a huge loss. Therefore, they would occasionally produce some small food for sale as a form of mutual support. With this backing, Ai Tingya felt a little relieved. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do as you say.¡± Time waited for no one. Luo Feng quickly took a fancy to a building. The other party asked for 100 million yuan and refused to bargain. Luo Feng did not hesitate and signed the contract, settling it in cash. He wanted to pay faster than the seller wanted the money, which delighted the seller. This was the first time he had seen such a straightforward customer. He even said that he wanted to cooperate more in the future. Luo Feng paid and his phone immediately rang. [Congratulations on completing a large investment: Cashback of 200 million yuan.] [Congratulations on investing in an industry worth more than 100 million. You have unlocked a new tool: Staff Training Card.] [Staff Training Card: Increase the growth speed of all employees in the investment target by 100%.] Luo Feng reached into his pocket and indeed, a white card appeared. There was not a word on it. After knowing its effect, he cupped it and kissed it again and again. It had been a long time since he had received an additional reward. The last time was before he went to university. Luo Feng had yet to figure out the pattern of the drop of the additional reward. It might be before a major event. For example, buying a building this time was the largest investment Luo Feng had made so far. Thinking of this, he rubbed his eyes. He still remembered that he hoped to have a pair of discerning eyes that could see through people¡¯s potential before he died in his previous life. However, no one had surpassed Ai Tingya in the past two years. This skill was idle. Even Yan Kaize¡¯s potential, who was already the CEO of a listed company and had achieved success in the eyes of outsiders, could not compare to Ai Tingya¡¯s. However, Ai Tingya was still a student and had yet to truly grow. Ai Tingya had grown from a helpless orphan to the CEO of a multinational company in her previous life after all. While she had worked really hard, not many people in the world could catch up to her talent. At the very least, Luo Feng had never seen an investment with more potential than Ai Tingya. Sometimes, Luo Feng wondered if it was a gift from the heavens that he could meet Ai Tingya when he opened his eyes. In Oxford University, where geniuses gathered, Luo Feng had met people with great potential. His three roommates were good examples. If nothing went wrong, they would all have achievements in the future. However, this level of excellence was still inferior to Ai Tingya¡¯s. Therefore, the eyes that could see people¡¯s potential had almost become decorations. The current situation was not as useful as the Staff Training Card. What Luo Feng was vexed about was the training of employees. Or rather, many companies would be vexed about this. Everyone¡¯s growth speed was different after all. It was impossible for the same batch of employees to learn the same ability. Many employees who could not hold it in anymore felt that the treatment of this company was not worthy of them after learning something from a company just now. They immediately found another company and gave the training of the original company to others for nothing. Luo Feng was not stingy with his salary considering this. Moreover, he tried his best to stack employee benefits so that the employees would be happy here and not leave their jobs casually. However, while he had done everything he could. The improvement in the quality of his employees had yet to achieve the effect he wanted. That included Lu Zhao. She had been in this line of work for many years and should have a lot of experience, but her training speed was still slow. In Luo Feng¡¯s plan, Nanlin should open three more shops in his first year of university. There would be at least four new shops in the university. However, the employees¡¯ improvement speed was not fast enough, causing the plan to be delayed. If he wanted to start branding early on, the quality of his employees was a part of the consideration. Without skilled employees, the reputation would collapse. The new Staff Training Card happened to solve his urgent need. He could expand the shop without worry with high-quality new employees. Luo Feng stole a glance at Ai Tingya thinking of this. He wondered if the lady boss was within the training range of the Skill Card. If Ai Tingya could also be affected by the Skill Card, wouldn¡¯t that be like adding wings to a tiger! In his previous life, Ai Tingya had achieved meteoric success in a few years. If the Skill Card bonus was effective, her glorious achievements could also be activated faster! Chapter 121 - 121 Sincere Conversation Between Workers 121 Sincere Conversation Between Workers Luo Feng did not dare to imagine. With Ai Tingya¡¯s full potential, wouldn¡¯t it be possible for her to enter the top 500 in the world? He held the card with joy. Did this mean that he was not far from being a freeloader? ¡°Hehe. Hehe.¡± Luo Feng held the card and imagined his future life of enjoyment. He could not help but laugh. Seeing this, Ai Tingya asked curiously, ¡°Why are you smiling foolishly? What¡¯s the white card in your hand?¡± Luo Feng put the card in his pocket and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a prerequisite for our future.¡± ¡°You¡¯re saying something I don¡¯t understand again.¡± Ai Tingya pursed her lips and did not probe further. In any case, she trusted Luo Feng 100%. Even if it was some irrelevant words, Ai Tingya felt that Luo Feng had his own reasons. The two of them had classes at night. They went to the shop to take a look before returning. Ai Tingya put down the dinner she had packed along the way and said, ¡°Everyone has worked hard today. We¡¯re moving to the dormitory tomorrow. Everyone, coordinate your work hours.¡± The single apartment that Luo Feng bought was ready-made. There was no need to renovate. They could just bring their stuff and move in. He also found someone to clean it up in advance today. He wrote the address of the new dormitory and left it on the table. The two of them went back to school first. The six employees guarding the shop put down their work and surrounded the note Luo Feng had left behind, as well as a few photos of the room. The 40-square-meter spacious room had a simple matching bed, wardrobe, tables, and chairs. Each room had an independent living balcony. The basic supporting facilities were complete. ¡°This address! Isn¡¯t it only 20 minutes away? It¡¯s even more convenient than where we live now!¡± ¡°Wow! Will we have a new dormitory soon?¡± ¡°As expected of the boss. He means what he says. He doesn¡¯t even blink when he buys a building.¡± ¡°Is it really free? The boss and lady boss are too good!¡± The few of them surrounded the table and praised it repeatedly. Their minds were completely focused on their new dormitory. They worked absent-mindedly and giggled at the same time. Other than a boy with a buzz cut who returned to his seat and focused on his work after satisfying his curiosity. His name was Ke Xiaogao. He was also a child from the orphanage and was five years older than Ai Tingya. He had entered society early to work because he did not have much talent for studying. He had been muddling along his life because he had no education nor ability. Later on, Ai Tingya opened a milk tea shop. She thought of Ke Xiaogao immediately, so she invited him back to work. Ke Xiaogao was introverted and stubborn. He rarely spoke, but he was meticulous in his work. He was also one of the future store managers nurtured by Luo Feng. He saw that everyone¡¯s thoughts had long flown out and they had almost broken their glasses a few times. He understood everyone and said, ¡°There aren¡¯t many customers tonight. Why don¡¯t you go back and pack your things first? I¡¯ll close the shop later.¡± The other employees were very tempted, but they felt that they would have let the boss and lady boss down if they left early. They hesitated and said, ¡°But it¡¯s not time to get off work yet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. There¡¯s only half an hour left. Xiao Ai won¡¯t say anything,¡± Ke Xiaogao said. ¡°And the guests¡¯ moods would definitely be affected seeing your states.¡± Luo Feng had the intention to let Ke Xiaogao be the store manager, so he gave him the authority without worry. Ke Xiaogao could directly make the decisions on some small matters. ¡°Then¡­ Alright.¡± The employees also felt that it made sense and said gratefully, ¡°Thank you, Brother Ke. We¡¯ll go back first!¡± The few of them could not wait to put down their uniforms and flap their wings at the pigeons that left the cage. Their cheering backs reminded Ke Xiaogao of his time in the orphanage. He had also taken care of children younger than him like this. Good Me¡¯s business was not as good as before because the new milk tea shop at the entrance of the street had opened. Ke Xiaogao waited alone in the shop for 40 minutes, and only two or three customers entered. At 9:10 pm, Ke Xiaogao slowly closed the door of the shop. He walked to the entrance of the street alone and saw seven to eight customers waiting at the entrance of the new milk tea shop. Ke Xiaogao had worked in society before. He did not know if he was too unlucky or if his bosses were the same. All of them were good at squeezing his employees. Therefore, he was very grateful to Luo Feng and Ai Tingya and had deep feelings for Good Me. Ke Xiaogao naturally did not have a good impression of his opponent¡¯s shop that had plagiarized his shop¡¯s style. He felt angry just by passing by the door. Then, he quickened his pace. Coincidentally, they bumped into the opposite employee coming out of the shop to pour dirty water. The two of them looked at each other and suddenly had a tacit understanding that whoever looked away first would lose. They were opponents after all. The employees of the two shops had met and knew each other¡¯s identities. After staring for more than 10 seconds, the employee smiled and pointed at an alley beside the shop, indicating for Ke Xiaogao to follow. There were three trash cans lined up at the entrance of the alley. They were bottomless and black wild cats ran out. It was very strange. However, Ke Xiaogao was not afraid. He followed the employee with a heart that would never show fear. ¡°Don¡¯t be so hostile.¡± He lit a cigarette for himself and handed one to Ke Xiaogao. ¡°What does the bosses¡¯ grudge have to do with us employees? Do you want one?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± Ke Xiaogao didn¡¯t expect the other party was here to dodge work and slack off. He glanced at the guests waiting in front of the shop and said, ¡°There are so many guests waiting. Can you not help?¡± He scratched his head in frustration and said to him. ¡°There are people working in the shop. It¡¯s not a loss without me. Look, you¡¯ve already closed the shop and gotten off work. I still have to work until 10 pm. Pfft!¡± He spat in frustration. He was very dissatisfied with the schedule set by his boss. Seeing him like this, Ke Xiaogao opened his mouth but did not say anything. At the very least, he was very satisfied with Luo Feng¡¯s work schedule. Would he be beaten up if he said it? ¡°Tsk, all the bosses in the world are the same!¡± He complained to his employees, ¡°So don¡¯t look at us so fiercely. Logically speaking, we¡¯re all from the workers¡¯ camp, right?¡± Ke Xiaogao shook his head and said, ¡°Our boss is not evil. He treats us as family.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± He laughed disdainfully at his employees, feeling that Ke Xiaogao was young and ridiculously naive. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth,¡± Ke Xiaogao said seriously. ¡°Our boss bought a building for us as a dormitory. Everyone is entitled to a 40-square-meters singles apartment for free.¡± ¡°What? I have to rent my own place!¡± He was very dissatisfied with his employers. He mocked Ke Xiaogao in an attempt to find balance in his heart, ¡°I guess it should be very far. Single dormitories in the suburbs are much cheaper, but it¡¯s a long ride.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not far. We¡¯ll be there in 20 minutes by foot.¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± He did not believe it. He rented a place that was relatively far away to get a cheaper place. He had to take a public bus for an hour and a half a day too. He had heard that his boss was very rich, but why was he so stingy! The employee swallowed and said in disbelief, ¡°Your treatment is so good. Your salary should be very low, right? The boss likes to tear down the east wall and mend the west wall.¡± ¡°6,000 yuan should be fine, right?¡± Chapter 122 - 122 Boss, Please Accept Us! 122 Boss, Please Accept Us! ¡°6¡­ 6,000 yuan?¡± The expression of the employee changed, and there was no longer any mockery. He saw that Ke Xiaogao was young and thought that he had been beaten up too often by society and had fantasies about inhumane bosses. He did not expect that he himself was too naive in everything. Ke Xiaogao¡¯s boss was simply like a living Bodhisattva. One had to know that he only made 4,000 yuan a month even if he worked like a dog. Moreover, stay was not included. He had a long commute and worked longer than the other party. In comparison, his life was extremely miserable! Why couldn¡¯t people be the same?! He had to fight for a happy life himself. The employee quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ke Xiaogao. ¡°Brother, is your shop still short of manpower?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Ke Xiaogao did not expect the other party to say this. ¡°We are short, but aren¡¯t we competitors?¡± He glanced at the signboard that looked like Good Me. Was it really good to jump ship like this? ¡°I just want to experience an apartment that¡¯s 40 square meters¡­ No, I also want to experience the feeling of home!¡± He said eagerly to Ke Xiaogao, ¡°I¡¯m experienced. I can be hired immediately with a little guidance!¡± Actually, the taste of the milk tea on both sides was similar. If he went to Good Me, he could directly work. Ke Xiaogao felt that this new employee had arrived too suddenly. He pointed at the cigarette in his hand and said, ¡°We can¡¯t smoke at work¡­¡± The employee immediately threw the cigarette to the ground and stomped on it twice. ¡°I¡¯ll quit smoking tomorrow! I¡¯m very determined and have strong willpower! Don¡¯t worry!¡± Ke Xiaogao did not know how to face it. He only told the truth. He did not expect it to have the effect of poaching. ¡°I can¡¯t make the decision. You have to ask our boss.¡± Ke Xiaogao thought that it was not easy for them to be both workers, so he added, ¡°He¡¯ll come to the shop tomorrow. If you want, come over.¡± After saying that, he quickly walked away. ¡­ The next day. The weather was very good and was very suitable for moving. More than a dozen employees adjusted their own time and came back to work in the afternoon. Originally, a few employees had left early yesterday and felt embarrassed to let Ke Xiaogao look after the shop alone. They wanted Ke Xiaogao to rest in the morning. However, Ke Xiaogao wanted to know if the competitor¡¯s employees would come over and insisted on working in the morning. He had just placed the lamp sign at the door when he saw a few familiar faces standing not far away. One of them was the competitor employee from last night. ¡°Is your boss here?¡± The competitor employee hurriedly ran over when he saw Ke Xiaogao. ¡°Not yet. He should be in class,¡± Ke Xiaogao said. ¡°You¡¯re here so early. If our boss doesn¡¯t accept you, won¡¯t you lose your jobs?¡± The other milk tea shop opened earlier than Good Me. With so many of them skipping work, it was definitely impossible for them to go back. Ke Xiaogao knew that Luo Feng was recruiting, but he did not know if he could accept them. ¡°If you don¡¯t have a job, so be it. Who would go back to that place!¡± Ever since he heard about Ke Xiaogao¡¯s treatment, he was no longer in the mood to stay there. At this moment, Luo Feng walked into the shop with a large bag of sausage sandwiches in his hand. When he saw that there were many employees in the shop, he said happily, ¡°Oh, I thought you guys had gone to move your dormitory. There are so many people here. You can eat something.¡± Many of the people working in the milk tea shop were from the orphanage. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya would bring some food over sometimes. When the employees of the competing milk tea shop outside saw this scene, they finally understood why Ke Xiaogao took this place as his home. ¡°Yaha! Long live the boss!¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯re too good. I didn¡¯t eat breakfast.¡± A few employees rushed over to take the sausage sandwich. Luo Feng also took a piece. Just as he was about to enjoy the special sandwich made by the school, a few people suddenly surrounded him. Right on the heels of that, a few people ran over from across the street and surrounded Luo Feng. ¡°Boss! Boss, are you still hiring?¡± ¡°I want to work for you, boss!¡± ¡°Boss, Boss, we¡¯re all experienced. We can start work immediately!¡± Luo Feng was shocked and the sandwich in his hand almost fell to the ground. When he saw the person rushing up clearly¡ª weren¡¯t they from Yan Kaize¡¯s milk tea shop? Why were they here? They were crowded at the door and their voices were loud, attracting the attention of passersby. Before Luo Feng could figure out what was going on, Ke Xiaogao walked over and told him what had happened last night. He was a little embarrassed when he said it, so he pulled over the competing employee with just a few words. Actually, he was telling the truth, but he felt that he had bragged too much. ¡°I see¡­¡± Luo Feng hesitated. He had plans to recruit new employees, but wouldn¡¯t it be too provocative to take on Yan Kaize¡¯s employees? He was not prepared to challenge them openly. Seeing that Luo Feng was still hesitating, the other employee hurriedly said, ¡°Boss, we¡¯re all sincere in working under you! If there¡¯s really no other way, we can reduce our salaries!¡± They could save money on rent even if their salaries were lower. Moreover, they did not have to wake up at six o¡¯clock and rush for more than an hour on the public bus to work. The other employees thought that the salary of official employees was 6,000 yuan, so it was not a loss for them to ask for 2,000 yuan less. ¡°But¡­¡± Luo Feng had yet to think of how to deal with it. The competing employees were anxious. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe us, just give us a month¡¯s probationary period. As long as we have food and accommodation, we don¡¯t need our salaries!¡± Aren¡¯t you guys too anxious? You even made such a ridiculous request yourself. Luo Feng thought to himself. Luo Feng glanced at Ke Xiaogao, who was standing at the side. Looking at everyone¡¯s eager gazes, this brother was usually quiet and only knew how to do things. The effect of speaking was amazing! He directly stole the other party¡¯s soldiers! Luo Feng could not help but wonder if he had misjudged. Ke Xiaogao actually had other talents. Wasn¡¯t it a waste to guard the milk tea shop? Ke Xiaogao panicked when he saw Luo Feng looking at him. Could it be that he had said something wrong and caused trouble for Luo Feng? However, he was telling the truth. At first, he might have wanted to show off, but when he heard about the other party¡¯s treatment, Ke Xiaogao felt that it was pitiful, so he told his employee that he could give it a try. These words were meant for one person. He did not expect to be able to pull more than half of the employees over. Could it be that our shop can¡¯t digest so many employees? Ke Xiaogao subconsciously lowered his head, feeling that he had caused trouble for Luo Feng. ¡°Boss.¡± Ke Xiaogao whispered into Luo Feng¡¯s ear, ¡°If you find it troublesome, you can send them away.¡± Luo Feng glanced at the people guarding outside. From their eyes, Luo Feng actually saw the chastity of an ancient woman. That determination to marry no one but the Lord. They were sincere about working here. The competing employees looked at Luo Feng with a yearning expression. They were looking at his 6,000 monthly salary, living in a 40 square meter single apartment for free, and occasionally feeding them. Luo Feng said slowly, ¡°Come in first. You¡¯ll cause trouble for passersby if you just stand at the door.¡± Letting them enter meant that he had no intention of rejecting. He smiled knowingly at the competing employees. There was a chance! Chapter 123 - 123 Theyre Poaching People, Were Poaching People Too! 123 They¡¯re Poaching People, We¡¯re Poaching People Too! The business culture of Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop was to treat guests as if they were at home. No matter who came to the shop, they had to receive them warmly. As soon as the competing employees who came to defect sat down, Xiao Fei called for the employees to serve milk tea. However, they were about to die from anxiety so they took a small sip and could not taste anything. They stared straight at Luo Feng. ¡°How about this? You can try it out in the shop for a month. During this period, you will be treated the same as the other employees.¡± Luo Feng felt that if they were here to infiltrate, wouldn¡¯t it be meaningless to have so many people? If they really left their original work and came over, he wouldn¡¯t want to disappoint them. However, he had to be vigilant and not let others play him for nothing. He added, ¡°But in a month, you have to be evaluated by the employees in the shop. If you pass, you can continue to stay. Are you willing?¡± One could pretend to be moral for a while, but not for the rest of their lives. Employees interacted day and night. Letting them judge was the best solution. Luo Feng did not care about the profits in the shop if not for the sake of taking care of Ai Tingya¡¯s mood. However, the harmonious atmosphere in the milk tea shop had to be maintained! The few employees who defected nodded vigorously, as if the faster they shook their heads, the more their sincerity would be reflected. They finally understood that Luo Feng letting the employees evaluate them instead of him evaluating them himself was enough to prove his trust in the employees. The atmosphere in Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop was really different from that side. The employee and boss got along very harmoniously, unlike that side where the boss looked like he was urging them to die. Coming to the shop to patrol was like coming to collect a debt. It was so oppressive that it was suffocating! ¡°Alright, Xiao Fei, come and set up a shift and find a few people to guide them,¡± Luo Feng said to Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei was now the store manager of the milk tea shop. She handled most of the matters in the shop. ¡°I understand.¡± Xiao Fei registered their names and handed them the probation contracts. After doing all this, the employee who was talking to Ke Xiaogao yesterday looked up. He wanted to thank Ke Xiaogao. The person who was in the shop just now suddenly disappeared and asked where Xiao Fei had gone. ¡°Oh, Big Brother Ke has gone to move to his dormitory. You guys can move in this morning too.¡± Xiao Fei smiled. The few of them almost cried tears of joy. Happiness came too quickly! ¡­ Yan Kaize felt that he was not too busy today and called Boss Yuan to patrol the milk tea shop. They were in a cooperative relationship. It was originally a milk tea shop at this time, but after Good Me opened, it snatched most of the customers away. The original boss was anxious about what to do when Yan Kaize suddenly found him and said that he was willing to develop the milk tea shop with him. The original boss was a small-time businessman. After hearing Yan Kaize¡¯s plan, the two of them hit it off and decided to use the price war to squeeze out Good Me first. Originally, everything was fine. Until today, he did not know how to describe the scene in front of him. Their Goud Me milk tea shop was larger than Luo Feng¡¯s Good Me, so they hired more than 20 employees. The shop was at the entrance of the street, and more people passed by the door than Luo Feng every day. In addition, the milk tea tasted similar and was cheaper. The customer flow was naturally better than Luo Feng¡¯s. Previously, Yan Kaize had come to the shop to patrol twice. He felt very comfortable seeing an endless stream of customers and employees so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. However, this was the last time. Now, in front of him, a few employees were flustered at the production table. They overturned cups and splashed milk tea. Ice cubes fell all over the ground. The melted water flowed outside. The guests walked on the dirty floor and had to be careful not to slip. Not only that, the more flustered the employees were, the slower the production speed, and the taste deviated. Many customers lost their patience from waiting. They took away the orders they had made and turned to leave. The employees could not find anyone when they came out, so they could only put the finished product aside. Some of the guests who insisted on waiting took a sip and rolled their eyes. When Yan Kaize saw that expression, he understood that this guest might never come here again. He and the original owner stood at the door and watched the chaotic scene go on for an hour. The original owner only brought out the store manager, Allen, when there were not so many customers in the shop. The original store manager said angrily, ¡°What happened? Why are there only the few of you?¡± When Yan Kaize came to look for him, he had already expected the problems that might arise at every step and had made an early warning plan. There was definitely no lack of manpower in the shop! The store manager, Allen, whispered, ¡°They¡¯ve all jumped ship.¡± ¡°What?¡± Yan Kaize had a bad feeling. Their shop was the best milk tea shop in the entire street at the moment. The other beverage shops had been beaten. Except for Luo Feng¡¯s shop! ¡°Don¡¯t tell me they jumped ship to Good Me!¡± Yan Kaize frowned. Allen nodded and said, ¡°The rest are all in the shop. They might all have gone if I hadn¡¯t tried my best to persuade them to stay.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Boss Yuan was very dissatisfied. ¡°There are only a few of them. What can they do!¡± He glared at Yan Kaize angrily and said, ¡°That junior brother of yours is really despicable. He poached our employees directly!¡± Yan Kaize sweated profusely, thinking to himself that you imitated someone else¡¯s milk tea shop, it isn¡¯t very glorious too, okay? We¡¯re the same, so don¡¯t say such useless things. ¡°Let the store manager recruit a few more people.¡± Yan Kaize said calmly. It¡¯s just a few shop assistants. The entry threshold for a milk tea shop is already very low. They were all employable as long as they had hands. Anyway, he just wanted to make quick money, the taste did not have to be top-notch. ¡°No! ¡°The original boss said stubbornly, pointing at the store manager, ¡°It¡¯s too slow to start recruiting newcomers, you can go over there to poach a few people, or you can go to other beverage stores to poach them!¡± Still the original condition! ¡± The original boss firmly believed that while their treatment was mediocre, the store was on the rise and had great prospects for development. As long as they were not stupid, they knew where to go. ¡°Me?¡± Allen pointed to himself. He was recruited directly to be the store manager, and he has been doing this for four or five years. The business in the store was well organized, but it would be the first time to poach someone. And the treatment remains the same? The employees quit because they felt that the treatment was poor! ¡°Yes, you, hire ten employees for me today.¡± The original boss smiled, ¡°There will be extra rewards for completing the task!¡± This stingy boss even offered a reward! Allen was a little moved: ¡°Okay¡­ Okay, let me try.¡± The original boss put his hands behind his back and said with satisfaction: ¡°Well, we will come to check the results in three days. If you have any questions, call me. Let¡¯s go back today, Director Yan.¡± Yan Kaize felt that this method was a little unreliable, but since his partner had made such a decision, it was not good for him to trample his pride. ¡°Tell them, the treatment is negotiable, as long as they are willing to come back.¡± He whispered to Allen with a worried glance. Allen felt that the possibility was a little bigger with the promise of the second boss! Chapter 124 - 124 Different Working Atmosphere, Greater Changes 124 Different Working Atmosphere, Greater Changes Allen first went to a few nearby snack shops to sit for a while. When the shop owner was not around, he came with the employees of the snack shop and chatted for a while. Then, he said Yan Kaize¡¯s name. What the business district wanted was the students¡¯ business, especially the students from Oxford. The merchants who opened the shop had more or less heard of Yan Kaize¡¯s name and knew that he was a very powerful investor. His business plan was flawless. When they heard that Yan Kaize¡¯s milk tea shop was poaching people, the employees of the snack shop were very tempted. He walked around the vicinity and really fooled three to four people, saying that he wanted to give it a try at the milk tea shop. Allen felt that his work would be completed soon and he would receive the reward mentioned by his boss! However, gradually, he was not so happy because he had visited all the nearby snack shops but he was still two short of the target of the 10-man mission. There were not many more people whom he could deceive! Allen had been avoiding going to Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop. It was very awkward to meet him again after changing from colleagues to enemies after all. However, in order to complete the mission, Allen put on a brown windbreaker, sunglasses, and a newspaper. He stood opposite Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop and carefully observed the situation in the shop. He wanted to see if there were any flaws so that he could take advantage of the situation and strive to get two more people back. ¡°Eh? Store manager Allen, why are you standing here?¡± A former colleague walked over and said to Allen. Allen remembered that his name was Cheng Song, and he was not a talkative person. Allen¡¯s first reaction was to cover his face with the newspaper and pretend not to know him. Cheng Song turned to the side and said, ¡°Store manager Allen, don¡¯t hide. We saw you a long time ago.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Allen said, putting down the newspaper. He stood beside a small kiosk. The people from the milk tea shop opposite would sometimes come over to buy some snacks. Allen had seen a few pass by at the same time and did not notice him. How could they recognize him?! Cheng Song smiled and said, ¡°They pretended to come over to buy things to confirm if it was you. Otherwise, look at how busy our shop is. How would we have time to eat?¡± The customers who could not buy milk tea at the milk tea shop at the entrance of the street all came here. Allen put down the newspaper and took off his eyes. He asked curiously, ¡°How did you recognize me? I¡¯m in such a disguise.¡± He had seen many detectives wear this in television dramas, thinking that they could blind everyone. Cheng Song was stunned for a moment. So Allen still felt that he had disguised himself very well? He held his stomach and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s only early autumn. The weather isn¡¯t cold at all. The streets are filled with short-sleeved shirts. You¡¯re the only one wrapped up tightly. You are too eye-catching to be missed.¡± Allen only thought about hiding and did not consider whether it was appropriate. No wonder he was sweating profusely and thought that he was too nervous. Allen took off his windbreaker and felt very embarrassed. He had made a fool of himself before he even opened his mouth. Forget about the mission of poaching. He turned to leave, but Cheng Song stopped him and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, let¡¯s have a cup of milk tea.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ There¡¯s no need. I still have something on¡­¡± ¡°Come on, it¡¯s all thanks to you taking care of me in the past, store manager. I¡¯ll treat you to a drink,¡± Cheng Song said warmly. That frank smile made Allen unable to refuse. Allen was pulled unwillingly into his opponent¡¯s milk tea shop. Everyone greeted him very normally, and a few former colleagues were still smiling at him. There was a very intimate feeling, but it was also very absent. Allen felt that his butt was covered in thorns and could not sit steadily. Cheng Song asked for a cold drink and placed it in front of Allen. ¡°Try it. It¡¯s your favorite lemon flavor.¡± Allen glanced at Cheng Song and felt that he was different from before. He picked up the milk tea and took a sip. The perfect refreshing feeling flowed from his mouth to his body, and the comfortable feeling spread throughout his body. After chasing away the dust from the entire day, Allen¡¯s breath felt refreshed with the fragrance of lemons. It was so delicious. It was even better than the ones in his shop. After drinking the milk tea, Allen felt much more relaxed and was no longer as reserved as before. He smiled and said to Cheng Song, ¡°I feel that you¡¯ve become more cheerful.¡± And more generous. In the past, Cheng Song was a quiet person at the entrance of the street. He did not like to talk much and was often distracted when he was working. His eyes seemed like they were looking at the abyss, one could not tell what he was thinking. Moreover, he was not so generous. As far as Allen knew, Cheng Song¡¯s family background was not very good. He dropped out of high school halfway through school for a very simple reason¡ªhis family did not have money. He entered society early and did odd jobs everywhere. He saved up some money and rented a bed in a village in the city. Allen was not exaggerating. The house Cheng Song had rented was divided into a small single room by the landlord. It was so narrow that it could only fit a bed and a pair of slippers. Perhaps it was because the place he lived in was too oppressive, Cheng Song looked very depressed. Moreover, he was very stingy. In the past, when they worked together, everyone would make their own cup of milk tea when they were thirsty. They only needed to pay up to the cost. It was very cheap. However, even so, Cheng Song only drank free plain water. In Allen¡¯s impression, it was enough for Chen Song to have basic necessities. He did not have any other hobbies or interests. He would not spend a single cent more. Now, he actually took the initiative to treat him to milk tea. ¡°Of course.¡± Cheng Song said excitedly, ¡°I have money to spare with my current salary and can live in a free 40 square meters single apartment. I don¡¯t have to rush in the crowded bus every day. I¡¯m very satisfied with my current life!¡± Allen silently took a sip of milk tea and said casually, ¡°Then the salary and treatment here should be good, right?¡± ¡°6,000 yuan.¡± Cheng Song did not hide anything. The two of them chatted for a while before a guest entered. Cheng Song was busy greeting the guests. Allen saw that every employee had a smile on their faces. It was not a fake mask, but a heartfelt joy. It was much stronger than the forced awkwardness in his shop. Customers naturally preferred this atmosphere. From ordering to getting the milk tea, they were taken care of meticulously. The employees would not recommend making simple dishes. Instead, they would ask the customers¡¯ preferences. Allen¡¯s eyes subconsciously revealed envy. He suddenly understood why the employees would collectively jump ship. When he first found out about this, he was still a little angry. This was because he felt that he was not a bad leader. He would never shout at everyone and would take care of every employee in the shop if he could. Otherwise, a few employees would not have stayed on account of him. He always felt that he had failed in his duty when his employees jumped ship collectively. Therefore, facing his boss¡¯s request to poach others, Allen agreed even if he did not want to because he felt that it was also his responsibility that the employees left. From the looks of it, he could not poach them away. ¡°Cheng Song, thank you for today. I¡¯m going back.¡± Allen stood up. No matter how good other people¡¯s shops were, he still had to go back and look after his own. At this moment, Xiao Fei stopped him with a smile. Chapter 125 - 125 Luo Feng! The Enemy That Cannot Be Underestimated! 125 Luo Feng! The Enemy That Cannot Be Underestimated! Xiao Fei smiled and stopped Allen. ¡°Hello, do you think the taste of our milk tea is good? Or do you think our service is good? If you have anything to say, you can write it here.¡± She held the opinion book in her hand and would randomly ask the customer to write down the opinions she wanted to make. Ai Tingya would read it seriously. If there were pertinent opinions, she would get the employees in the shop to make changes. Xiao Fei thought that since Allen was the store manager of the other party¡¯s milk tea shop. His taste would definitely be more vicious than ordinary customers. Allen scratched his head and smiled. ¡°No, the milk tea is also delicious and the service is very good.¡± He felt a little regretful. If not for the fact that he was the store manager and had more responsibilities than ordinary employees, he would also want to jump ship to this place. Xiao Fei put away the opinion book and revealed an innocent smile. ¡°It looks like it¡¯s hard on you. Why don¡¯t you come to our shop too?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have to¡­¡± ¡°Our store manager¡¯s salary is 10,000 yuan!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s also dividends every month. I¡¯m the store manager of this shop. I can get about 40,000 yuan in dividends every month.¡± ¡°No way!?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. Our store manager gets dividends here. There are a few reserve store managers in the store now. They¡¯re waiting to open a new store and go over to manage it. If you come, you should be able to be the reserve store manager.¡± ¡°Really?!¡± Allen could not control his excitement. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted when he heard about the 40 square meter single apartment with a relaxed working environment! However, Allen felt that he could not jump ship casually. The milk tea shop at the entrance of the street might stop completely if he left. His sense of responsibility made him let go of the better choice and go back to guard it. But now¡­ F*ck his sense of responsibility! What could the boss of the milk tea shop at the street entrance bring him? All kinds of ridiculous jobs? Or a salary of 7,000 yuan a month? It could not compare to the treatment of the employees here! ¡°Can I really be a reserve store manager directly?¡± Allen had a floating feeling. He felt that someone had seen his talent, but he was worried that it would just be a fleeting cloud. ¡°Of course.¡± Xiao Fei looked at the other employees in the shop. ¡°However, you have to be like them and have a month of probation. After the probation period, you will be evaluated by the employees. If there are no problems, you will be the reserve store manager.¡± Xiao Fei thought that since Luo Feng was recruiting, hiring a reserve store manager could help him manage his employees. ¡°Of course!¡± Allen said eagerly. ¡°I couldn¡¯t ask for more!¡± ¡­ Three days later, Yan Kaize went to the milk tea shop to patrol again. He saw the original owner standing alone at the door and looking at the closed shop in a daze. Yan Kaize quickly walked over and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why isn¡¯t the shop open yet?¡± The original owner said expressionlessly, ¡°The store manager has jumped ship.¡± Yan Kaize¡¯s expression was ugly. He did not expect Allen to jump ship too. He still remembered that the last time he came to patrol, the original owner had asked the store manager to poach a few shop assistants back. In the end, the original owner had been calling him that afternoon, saying that the poaching of employees was going very smoothly and he could prepare the reward. Yan Kaize thought that things had returned to normal. Why did the store manager suddenly run away too? ¡°Where¡¯s the key? Let¡¯s open for business first,¡± Yan Kaize urged. ¡°Allen gave the key to the employees.¡± The original boss was in a daze. ¡°What about that employee?¡± ¡°He has also jumped ship.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t return it? Didn¡¯t he say that he poached new employees? Let them take over first.¡± ¡°I have the key. The new employees jumped ship with them.¡± The more the two of them spoke, the more tired they became. Yan Kaize saw that the original owner looked like he had suffered a huge blow. He could not believe that he was a boss worth millions. He was so frightened by this setback that he did not dare to open his shop. ¡°Stop talking nonsense. Start the business first.¡± Yan Kaize did not know how many times he had emphasized on starting the business. Hearing this, Boss Yuan finally exploded. ¡°Whatever for? Do you know how to make milk tea or do I know how to create an order? If we can¡¯t do anything, we might as well close the shop!¡± Yan Kaize was stunned. He thought about what Boss Yuan said and realized that it made sense! Yan Kaize had mixed feelings as he looked at the closed door. He did not expect Luo Feng¡¯s counterattack to be so sharp that he poached all the employees in their shop, including the store manager. He did not even let go of the new employees who did not have time to report! It was really terrifying! Previously, he had thought that Luo Feng was just business-minded but was still a little naive student. But now, it seemed that he had underestimated his enemy! Luo Feng wanted to kill them all! If Luo Feng was here, he would definitely express that he was very innocent. He had been in class recently and had only gone to the shop once. These things had nothing to do with him. However, Luo Feng, who was far away in school, could not sense Yan Kaize¡¯s thoughts. He tidied up his clothes and waited downstairs for Ai Tingya. The girl who came out of the dormitory blushed when she saw Luo Feng and ran over shyly. As he ran, he said enviously, ¡°Look, that handsome man is waiting for his girlfriend downstairs again!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. I hope my boyfriend waits for me downstairs every time.¡± ¡°I wish my boyfriend was as handsome as him.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s dormitory was opposite each other. He could see them when she went downstairs. However, every time, Luo Feng would wait downstairs a little earlier. He felt that Ai Tingya would be happy this way. Ai Tingya hurriedly ran down from upstairs. She looked up and saw Luo Feng waiting for her, and her heart felt warm. She held Luo Feng¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Professor Ai will definitely be waiting.¡± Today, Ai Zhaojiang invited them to his house. Ai Tingya was holding a box of exquisite tea leaves. She had prepared them early in the morning to thank Ai Zhaojiang for helping them settle the shop. However, the new shop was open and they had military training, so she was too busy to send them over. Today was a good opportunity. Luo Feng glanced at the tea box and said, ¡°I wonder if Professor Ai will like it.¡± ¡°He probably will,¡± Ai Tingya said. Luo Feng knew about this box of tea leaves. He went to the shop with Ai Tingya to buy it for two days. She chose for the entire afternoon before deciding on this box. He felt that Ai Tingya was a little concerned about Professor Ai. Was it because they had the same surname that they were naturally close? The two of them followed the address and took a car to Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s residence. Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s current house was a little far from the school. However, the surroundings were quiet and filled with ridiculously expensive courtyard houses. The two of them looked at the house number and stopped in front of a red door. The door opened with a creak and fragrance wafted out. ¡°Professor Ai, sorry to disturb you.¡± Ai Tingya pushed the door open and entered. She was greeted by a huge osmanthus tree. It was autumn. Orange osmanthus flowers hung all over the branches and a flower blanket covered the ground. Waves of fragrance assaulted her. Ai Tingya could not help but be surprised. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a huge osmanthus tree!¡± At this moment, Ai Zhaojiang walked out of the kitchen. He had an apron on his waist and was holding a pot and a shovel in one hand. He smiled at Ai Tingya and said, ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Then, he saw Luo Feng behind Ai Tingya and said expressionlessly and coldly, ¡°Oh, you¡¯re here too.¡± Chapter 126 - 126 Recognize Each Other, Are You Angry With Me? 126 Recognize Each Other, Are You Angry With Me? Ai Zhaojiang only wanted to have a simple dinner with his granddaughter. He did not want anyone else to get involved, especially Luo Feng! This bad person who had wrapped his little sweetheart around him! What made Ai Zhaojiang even angrier was that when he asked Ai Tingya if they could eat together, she said, ¡°If Luo Feng is free, we¡¯ll come over together.¡± He had no choice in this matter! Therefore, the more he looked at Luo Feng, the more unhappy he became! Luo Feng could clearly feel that Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s disdainful gaze was about to materialize. Didn¡¯t you call us here to eat? ¡°Professor Ai, this is for you.¡± Ai Tingya obediently handed over the tea leaves. ¡°I don¡¯t know if you will like it.¡± ¡°I like it! I like it!¡± Ai Zhaojiang smiled so widely that his eyes could not be seen. His withered hand stroked the golden words on the package. This was the first gift Ai Tingya had given him, making Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s eyes turn red. Ai Tingya¡¯s attention was all on the osmanthus tree in the courtyard and she did not notice the change in Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s emotions. Ai Tingya praised, ¡°Professor Ai, the osmanthus tree in your courtyard is so beautiful. This is the best-looking osmanthus trees I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± This tree was planted by Ai Zhaojiang when Ai Tingya¡¯s father left home. It had grown alone in the courtyard for 18 years. Now that Ai Tingya was standing under the tree, it was as if a lifetime had passed. Ai Zhaojiang could not hold back his tears. He turned around and covered his face. ¡°Come in quickly. We can eat soon.¡± Ai Tingya rolled up her sleeves and followed him into the kitchen. ¡°Let me help you.¡± Only then did Luo Feng move from the door to the kitchen. He looked at the busy backs of the two of them and thought of something. However, thinking alone was not enough. He still needed some evidence. Soon, the food was on the table. Ai Zhaojiang had the aura of a cultured person. He had his calligraphy hung in the dining room and had done nothing much but intellectual work, yet he was a good cook. Crown City was in the south and ate light food. The dishes on the table were similar to Hokkien cuisine and emphasized on the original taste of food. ¡°These prawns were just sent over this afternoon. They¡¯re fresh!¡± Ai Zhaojiang first picked up some food for Ai Tingya with his chopstick. This was a scene he had imagined for a long time after all. Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and suddenly had a good idea. He also picked up some food for Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Tingya, eat more. I feel that you¡¯ve lost weight recently.¡± Ai Tingya touched her face and said, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. There must be too much work in the shop. You¡¯re too tired.¡± After Luo Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Ai Zhaojiang. The heartache in the old man¡¯s eyes was about to overflow. Luo Feng looked at the calligraphy painting hanging on the wall again and lowered his head without saying anything. Ai Zhaojiang couldn¡¯t be bothered to eat. He kept piling food into Ai Tingya¡¯s bowl. ¡°This is my specialty! Eat some more of this! Won¡¯t the taste be a little faint?¡± Being too enthusiastic made Ai Tingya feel uncomfortable. ¡°Please eat¡­ I¡¯ll take the food myself.¡± Ai Tingya was clear about who was close to her and stopped his good intentions. Ai Zhaojiang smiled and put a piece of vegetable in his mouth. It was tasteless to chew. Luo Feng felt anxious and had to help him. He also picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Ai Tingya¡¯s bowl. He smiled and said, ¡°This has a special fragrance. You can¡¯t eat it elsewhere. Tingya, try it.¡± ¡°Thank you, Luo Feng.¡± Ai Tingya held the bowl and smiled very sweetly. Just now, Ai Zhaojiang seemed to have been possessed by Mother Luo and picked up a bowl full of dishes for Ai Tingya. However, Ai Tingya¡¯s attention was completely attracted by Luo Feng¡¯s piece of meat. Luo Feng looked at Ai Zhaojiang provocatively, as if saying, ¡°Fighting with me for favor? You¡¯re still too young.¡± Ai Zhaojiang pinched his chopsticks. The more he looked at this kid, the more unhappy he became. He glared back. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s gaze drifted to Ai Tingya, who was eating seriously. He mouthed, ¡°I¡¯m her boyfriend. It¡¯s only right for me to pick up food. You are?¡± Ai Zhaojiang was about to die of anger. His eyes widened. ¡°I¡¯m her¡­¡± Thinking of this, he lost his confidence. How could he not want to acknowledge Ai Tingya? However, he was afraid that Ai Tingya would not be able to accept it immediately or be angry with him. Ai Zhaojiang felt tormented but suppressed it. Ai Zhaojiang almost couldn¡¯t help but be provoked by Luo Feng. ¡°Why aren¡¯t the two of you eating?¡± Ai Tingya accidentally interrupted their confrontation seeing that she was the only one eating. ¡°Ahahaha, eat. Eat quickly.¡± Ai Zhaojiang laughed awkwardly. Before eating, he did not forget to glare at Luo Feng again. At this moment, Ai Tingya noticed the calligraphy on the wall and was stunned for a moment. She took a deep breath and turned to look at Ai Zhaojiang. A moment later, Ai Tingya said, ¡°Eat more.¡± Ai Zhaojiang smiled like a sunflower under the sun when his granddaughter took the initiative to show concern. Luo Feng nodded as well, thinking to himself, ¡°You must eat more. Otherwise, you might not feel like eating later.¡± Throughout the meal, it was always Luo Feng and Ai Zhaojiang who spoke. Ai Tingya would occasionally answer before lowering her head to eat seriously, her face filled with worries. It was rare for Luo Feng to not ask further. Ai Zhaojiang thought that he had said something wrong or that the food he made was not delicious. He asked carefully, ¡°Tingya, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you unhappy?¡± Ai Tingya put down her chopsticks and shook her head vigorously. ¡°No, I just have a question for you, Professor Ai.¡± ¡°Ask away.¡± ¡°Do you know my identity?¡± Ai Tingya pursed her lips and looked at Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s face with anticipation. Ai Zhaojiang was stunned for a moment. He suddenly wanted to avoid Ai Tingya¡¯s question. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t give him a chance. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang did not know if it was because he was too enthusiastic that Ai Tingya realized something. He paused and said, ¡°I was just¡­ I was just worried that you wouldn¡¯t be able to accept it. I wanted to find a chance to tell you after we get to know each other.¡± He felt a little guilty. If he had not been too strict back then and forced his son to leave home, Ai Tingya would not have been wandering outside and had no family. ¡°Tingya, listen to me¡­¡± ¡°Sorry, I want to be alone.¡± Ai Tingya did not look at Ai Zhaojiang or Luo Feng. She pushed open the door and walked out. Ai Zhaojiang, who was at a loss, was left behind. She looked at Luo Feng and asked, ¡°When¡­ when did she know?¡± ¡°It should be just now.¡± Luo Feng pointed at the calligraphy on the wall and said, ¡°That ¡®Happiness and Safety¡¯ was written by you, right? I saw your signature.¡± Ai Zhaojiang nodded. He would occasionally practice calligraphy and was also the vice president of the local Calligraphy Association. Luo Feng explained, ¡°Tingya¡¯s parents left her a golden lock with the words ¡®Safety¡¯ on it. It¡¯s exactly the same as the ¡®Safety¡¯ you wrote.¡± When a master of calligraphy practiced to a certain extent, they would have their own style. Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s handwriting was strong and had the aura of an ancient person. Ordinary people could not imitate it. The moment Luo Feng and Ai Tingya saw the golden lock, they could tell that these two words were extraordinary. They had also searched the market, but the word on Ai Tingya¡¯s golden lock was unique. Seeing Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s actions today, the two of them immediately understood. ¡°She still has that golden lock on her?¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s voice trembled. ¡°So she has it with her.¡± Chapter 127 - 127 The Nearer The Hometown, The Scarier It Is, Ai Tingya Is Upset 127 The Nearer The Hometown, The Scarier It Is, Ai Tingya Is Upset Ai Tingya¡¯s golden lock was customized by Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s old friend. In the past, when he chatted with his neighbors, he would always see others carrying children around. Ai Zhaojiang was very envious, but his son did not seem interested in marriage, so Ai Zhaojiang made a golden lock to tactfully urge him to get married. Every time he suffered a critical hit from his neighbor, he would take out the golden lock and play with it in front of his son. However, Ai Zhaojiang found out that it was not that his son was not interested in marriage, but that his son had a girlfriend he was secretly dating later on. However, his girlfriend¡¯s status was special. He knew that Ai Zhaojiang would definitely look down on her, so he had never publicized it. Later on, the father and son fell out and Ai Tingya¡¯s father ran away from home. After so many years, Ai Zhaojiang thought that the golden lock had long been lost. He didn¡¯t expect his son to take it away. ¡°I see, I see.¡± Ai Zhaojiang raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes. He had imagined the scene of them reuniting countless times, but he did not expect his plan to be disrupted by a calligraphy painting. ¡°Do you think Tingya will be angry with me?¡± Ai Zhaojiang asked Luo Feng carefully. ¡°Tingya has always yearned to reunite with her family. You shouldn¡¯t have hidden it from her,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Then what should I do now?¡± Ai Zhaojiang was at a loss. The learned professor revealed a child-like confusion, not knowing where to start. He thought of Professor Jing¡¯s words and said to Luo Feng, ¡°Help me tell Tingya. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I¡¯m just afraid that she won¡¯t be able to accept it.¡± Luo Feng could not bear to reject an old man. He nodded and stood up to leave. Ai Tingya stood under the osmanthus tree with her back facing them. When Luo Feng walked closer, he saw that her face was already covered in tears. He gently held Ai Tingya¡¯s head and let her slowly lean on his shoulder. Ai Tingya did not refuse and hugged Luo Feng obediently. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. You should be happy.¡± Luo Feng comforted her softly. ¡°Boohoo¡­ I¡¯ve always, always wanted a family.¡± Ai Tingya cried softly. ¡°But if I really have one, I¡¯m a little afraid. I¡¯m worried that they won¡¯t like me¡­¡± Luo Feng gently wiped Ai Tingya¡¯s tears. ¡°Doesn¡¯t Professor Ai like you a lot? Just like my mother, he¡¯s worried that you would be hungry.¡± Ai Tingya looked up. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t he tell me?¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m afraid too,¡± Ai Zhaojiang said. He had walked out at some point and looked at Ai Tingya uneasily. ¡°I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll blame me for not looking for you. I¡¯m also worried that you won¡¯t want to accept me as your grandfather.¡± Ai Zhaojiang lowered his head. Every time he thought of how he was the instigator of the tragedy, he was afraid that Ai Tingya would hate him. Ai Tingya did not say anything and just kept sobbing. Luo Feng stroked her back, his eyes filled with heartache. Unfortunately, he could not help with this matter. Only Ai Tingya could adjust it herself. After Ai Zhaojiang finished speaking, neither of them spoke again. Both of them were in a heavy mood and were not as happy as they had imagined. ¡°If¡­ If you¡¯re unwilling, let¡¯s get along like before?¡± Ai Zhaojiang no longer expected Ai Tingya to call his Grandpa. He only wanted to take a few more glances at her. ¡°Professor¡­ Professor Ai, I¡¯m a little confused. Let me go back and think about it.¡± Ai Tingya hid in Luo Feng¡¯s arms, not knowing how to face Ai Zhaojiang. It felt like she was angry, but also not. Ai Zhaojiang did not know and could only ask Luo Feng for help. Luo Feng shook his head gently. With his understanding of Ai Tingya, she would not be angry. ¡°Professor Ai, we¡¯d better go back first.¡± Luo Feng hugged Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Thank you for your hospitality today.¡± With that, he mouthed, ¡°I¡¯ll persuade her.¡± Normally, Ai Zhaojiang would definitely roar in her heart and ask Luo Feng to let go! But now, she was extremely glad that Luo Feng was a good person and could help her say a few words to Ai Tingya. Only then did Ai Zhaojiang relax again. ¡°Alright, alright. Take care on your way back.¡± The two of them left the courtyard house. Luo Feng did not hire a car. He held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and walked slowly along the street. The two of them passed through the fallen leaves on the sidewalk and walked past the lively and bustling commercial street. It was as if they had returned to high school. Luo Feng did not say anything and led Ai Tingya forward. After walking for a while, Ai Tingya stopped. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask me what I think?¡± Luo Feng stroked her head and said, ¡°My Tingya is a big child. I won¡¯t interfere in your decision, but I want to tell you that no matter what you want to do, I will always support you.¡± He coaxed Ai Tingya like he was coaxing a child, but Ai Tingya enjoyed it very much. She pouted and said, ¡°Of course I¡¯m happy to have a relative. Come with me to see him next time, but you might have to adapt for a long time.¡± ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll accompany you wherever you go,¡± Luo Feng said gently. He really hoped that Ai Zhaojiang was in front of him. He wanted him to hear Ai Tingya¡¯s words personally. Luo Feng wanted to tell Ai Zhaojiang that Ai Tingya was a soft-hearted person and did not have to worry that she would be so angry that she would ignore him. Even though Ai Tingya was still at a loss. She had been alone for more than ten years and suddenly had a grandfather in front of her. Anyone would feel uneasy. Ai Tingya did not resist her family, but she suddenly got what she wanted. The surreal feeling of her long-cherished wish being fulfilled, the fear that it was just a dream, could only be slowly healed by time. ¡­ A week later. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were in different classes. They would be in the same classroom during big classes. The time for class would usually be different. Moreover, Ai Tingya had also taken a few elective psychology classes. Sometimes, Luo Feng would pick her up when he had no classes. On this day, Luo Feng held a bouquet of roses and waited at the entrance of the school building with a flushed face. Many students who came out were looking at him, instantly becoming the most eye-catching scenery in front of the building. Ai Tingya and a girl walked out holding hands with books. The girl¡¯s name was Ye Piao. She was Ai Tingya¡¯s roommate and let go immediately when she saw Luo Feng. ¡°Tingya, someone is here to pick you up.¡± The girl smiled and took the books from Ai Tingya. ¡°I¡¯ll help you bring it back to the dormitory.¡± ¡°Thank you, Piaopiao,¡± Ai Tingya said shyly. Ye Piao covered her mouth and smiled. ¡°I really envy you guys. You¡¯re in love at any time. Go quickly. Your boyfriend will be anxious.¡± After saying goodbye to her roommate, Ai Tingya skipped to Luo Feng. Luo Feng handed over the flowers with both hands and said, ¡°Congratulations, Ai Tingya. The renovation of the new house is over today. Shall we go over and take a look?¡± Actually, it was not only the renovation that ended. Not only had Luo Feng gotten someone to clean it up, the furniture that the two of them had bought in advance had also been placed in the house. He had not gone to take a look and only waited to go with Ai Tingya. Moreover, it was Friday today. Luo Feng could stay with Ai Tingya for two days. Ai Tingya took the flowers and looked troubled. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I might not be able to do it this weekend. I promised Professor Ai to go to his place. He said he wanted to show me Dad¡¯s photo.¡± Chapter 128 - 128 Its Finally Time To Show Off My Granddaughter! 128 It¡¯s Finally Time To Show Off My Granddaughter! Ai Tingya had been with Luo Feng for so long that she could long see through his plans. It was Friday today, so the two of them could not help but stay in the new house for a few days. How could Luo Feng not do anything else these two days? Ai Tingya did not strangely insist. It was not that she did not want to give it to Luo Feng. She really had other things on her mind. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Luo Feng. You¡¯ll have to play by yourself this weekend.¡± Ai Tingya hugged the rose and kissed Luo Feng. ¡°I¡¯ll go back and pack my things first. Thank you for giving me a ride.¡± Luo Feng touched his face. You¡¯re sending me away with just a dragonfly kiss?! However, it was not good for him to join in the fun since the grandfather and granddaughter were reunited. Luo Feng could only accept this result obediently and walk towards the dormitory alone. He suddenly came back to his senses halfway. If Ai Tingya and Ai Zhaojiang reunited, wouldn¡¯t she have a place to stay? With Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s love for her granddaughter, he would call Ai Tingya over to reunite every week. Not only did he have less time to be alone with Ai Tingya, but most importantly, if Ai Tingya had a place to live, wouldn¡¯t the house he bought be idle?! Luo Feng slapped his thigh. Ai Tingya and his private world were facing an unprecedented challenge! As expected, he could not be a good person! Luo Feng bit his finger and seriously thought of a solution. ¡­ In the courtyard area. Ai Zhaojiang had just returned from the supermarket with full ingredients in both hands. His footsteps were light and he was happy. He could not help but hum a few songs. He was so happy that he was about to fly. Even though the process of reuniting with Ai Tingya was a little rushed, Ai Zhaojiang was still very happy. He finally did not have to hide his identity and indirectly care about Ai Tingya. While Ai Tingya had yet to officially call him Grandpa, Ai Zhaojiang believed that he would definitely hear her call him that one day as long as he insisted on communicating and being around her more! It was mainly because Ai Tingya did not reject him and was even willing to come and stay for a few days. Ai Zhaojiang went out early to buy things that Ai Tingya liked. Coincidentally, Ai Zhaojiang met his neighbor, Old Li. The two of them had been neighbors for decades. Ai Zhaojiang had nothing to do after he retired and always played chess with Old Li. The two of them were evenly matched and played happily. Ai Zhaojiang saw that Old Li was in a hurry and was only focused on rushing forward with his head lowered. He did not even see him. He stopped Old Li and said, ¡°Where are you going in a hurry?¡± Old Li looked up and saw Ai Zhaojiang. He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not busy. I just sold the house. The moving company can¡¯t find the way. I¡¯m about to pick them up.¡± Ai Zhaojiang had long heard about it when he was selling the house. When he found out that his old friend was leaving, he could not help but feel a little disappointed. ¡°Old man, why are you moving away when you¡¯re living so well? Isn¡¯t such a big courtyard enough for you to run through?¡± Ai Zhaojiang said. Old Li chuckled. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to sell it so quickly, but the other party was in a hurry and gave me a high price.¡± As he spoke, he gestured a ¡°nine¡± mysteriously. This time, even Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s mouth widened in surprise. ¡°Nine million yuan? Is your floor made of gold?¡± Even though the house prices for courtyard houses were expensive, Old Li¡¯s house was not as big as Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s. Moreover, it was second-hand. It would have been very expensive even if it went for five million yuan in the market. Nine million yuan was enough to buy two courtyard houses of the same size. That fool was stupid and rich. ¡°I didn¡¯t dare to believe it when I heard it just now.¡± Old Li patted his stomach and said happily, ¡°They said that they would move in at night and asked me to hurry up.¡± In other words, someone else was staying next door tonight. Ai Zhaojiang revealed a sad expression. If Old Li left, who would he find to play chess with in the future? Seeing this, Old Li¡¯s smile slowly fell. They had been neighbors for decades, so he naturally knew the situation of the Ai Zhaojiang family. They had no relatives, no reason, and no one to rely on. Occasionally, a student would come to visit, but they would leave after sitting for a while. The thought of an old man accompanying loneliness made him feel desolate. ¡°Um, Old Ai, don¡¯t be sad. I¡­¡± Old Li wanted to comfort him, but he could not find the right words. Unexpectedly, Ai Zhaojiang snorted proudly and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I wanted to let you see my obedient granddaughter, but it seems that we can only wait for the next time.¡± Old Li¡¯s eyes widened as he said excitedly, ¡°Old Ai, you found your granddaughter?¡± This made Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s vanity explode. His chin was almost raised to the sky. ¡°Of course. Otherwise, why would I buy so many things? Let me tell you, my granddaughter is terrific. She¡¯s studying in Oxford now. I visit her every day. I have to stay at home this week!¡± When Old Li heard this, he was happy for Ai Zhaojiang. ¡°That¡¯s great. I was worried that there wouldn¡¯t have anyone to accompany you if I left. It¡¯s good to find her. She¡¯s much more promising than my brat to be able to get into Oxford.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Not only is my granddaughter sensible and capable, she also opened a company at a young age. She¡¯s also very good-looking.¡± Ai Zhaojiang gestured and described. ¡°I dare to say that there¡¯s no one more beautiful than my granddaughter on the entire street!¡± In the past, he had always heard his neighbors nag about his child. He was envious of both good and bad. This time, it was finally his turn. He had to praise his granddaughter to the sky. ¡°It¡¯s not that I have a filter as a grandfather. Old Li, you¡¯ll know how good-looking my granddaughter is once you see her. By the way, have you drunk milk tea? My granddaughter owns a milk tea shop. I¡¯ll treat you to it when you come back!¡± Ai Zhaojiang couldn¡¯t control his words. This was the sixth time Old Li had heard of a milk tea shop. His ears were about to get calluses. He could even memorize the exact address of the milk tea shop. He looked at the time. Ai Zhaojiang had been talking to him for half an hour. He wondered if the moving company was still on the spot. ¡°Um, Old Ai, I still have¡­¡± Old Li wanted to say that he had something on. However, Ai Zhaojiang did not give him this chance at all. ¡°If I had known that you were moving today, I would have let my granddaughter come back earlier. You¡¯ll definitely like her when you see her.¡± Old Li felt that he could not wait any longer, so he simply used his ultimate move and asked with a smile, ¡°Old Ai, how old is your granddaughter?¡± ¡°Almost 19.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was quite proud. Old Li smacked his lips and said, ¡°19? Alright, my granddaughter is only 23 years old. She knows how to take care of people when she¡¯s older. Look¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Ai Zhaojiang exploded. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare have designs on my granddaughter! I just acknowledged her, and you want to take her away? No way!¡± Old Li chuckled and thought that it was a success. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡± Ai Zhaojiang chased him away in disdain. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to pick her up? Why are you standing here?¡± Old Li was caught between laughter and tears. He did not forget to scare Ai Zhaojiang before he left. ¡°Tell your granddaughter that I¡¯ll let the two juniors meet when I come back next time.¡± ¡°Old fellow, dream on!¡± Ai Zhaojiang entered the house and quickly closed the door. He reflected deeply on his actions just now while standing at the door. He could not praise his granddaughter too well, or it would be bad if someone took a fancy to her! Chapter 129 - 129 Fathers Past 129 Father¡¯s Past That night, Ai Tingya stayed at Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s house. The two of them prepared a large table of dishes. What made Ai Zhaojiang even happier was that Luo Feng wasn¡¯t here. Ai Zhaojiang was very satisfied with the day other than the courtyard house next door was too noisy with cleaning the house and moving new furniture in the afternoon. He had been chatting with Ai Tingya and could finally ask her about her life openly. ¡°Dean Du of the orphanage is also very good to me. The children are also very cute. And Xiao Fei. You know that she¡¯s my best friend in the orphanage.¡± Ai Tingya chatted about her previous life with a faint smile on her face. ¡°Xiao Fei comforts me every time I¡¯m unhappy.¡± She was smiling, but there was always a faint sadness in her voice. The fatigue and hardship in the past seemed to have become precious memories. Ai Tingya actually missed them when she thought about it. However, the bitterness was greater than the relief when these words fell into Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s ears. If not for the fact that he was afraid that Ai Tingya would be sad, he might have cried immediately. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Professor Ai.¡± Ai Tingya comforted Ai Zhaojiang instead. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. I feel that I¡¯m very good now. I got into an ideal university and have a career that I can fight for my entire life. I still have Luo Feng and you¡­ It¡¯s really very good.¡± ¡°Good child, it¡¯ll get better and better.¡± Ai Zhaojiang choked. If Ai Tingya had grown up by his side, he would never have let her suffer so much. This regret could only be made up for in the future. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you say you wanted to show me Dad¡¯s photo?¡± Ai Tingya remembered the purpose of this trip. ¡°I¡¯ll get it immediately.¡± Ai Zhaojiang walked into the room and took out an old photo album. The cover of the photo album had turned white and faded because it had been flipped through too many times. Every photo inside was well protected. One side of the plastic wrap had been reapplied. Ai Zhaojiang took out a photo and handed it to Ai Tingya. ¡°This is a photo of your father¡¯s adulting birthday. He was a few years younger than you now.¡± The photo was of a child-like face wearing a very popular military green outfit back then. His body was standing upright, and his eyes were wide open. He looked very spirited. Ai Tingya rubbed the face in the photo. This was the first time she knew what her father looked like. ¡°I look so similar to Dad,¡± Ai Tingya said with a sobbing tone. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Ai Zhaojiang couldn¡¯t help but wipe the corners of her eyes. ¡°Your father was a famous handsome young man nearby back then. Many girls had written him love letters.¡± Ai Zhaojiang continued to flip through the pages. Every time she looked at a photo, he could accurately tell the time and place of the photoshoot. He would also tell Ai Tingya what interesting things had happened that day. He could use these scattered memories at will. He had relied on these memories to support himself for the past ten years after all. Ai Tingya flipped through the entire photo album. Her father was only 22 years old. She did not ask what conflict had happened between her father and Ai Zhaojiang back then, nor did she ask about her mother. This was because she knew that now was not the time. After looking at the photo, Ai Zhaojiang took the initiative to say, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. You should sleep. I¡¯ll bring you to your room.¡± Ai Tingya nodded and stood up to walk to the room beside his room. As soon as he opened the door, there was a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers. The pink bed and mosquito nets, and the lacy pillow, were as fluffy as the clouds. It was similar to the princess bed on television. There was a row of teddy bears by the bed and a photo of Ai Tingya and Luo Feng on the bedside table. Ai Tingya noticed the photo at first glance and realized that it was a photo taken when promoting the milk tea shop. Ai Zhaojiang sighed and forgot to remove the photo. Wasn¡¯t he giving his silent approval that Luo Feng was family if he placed it at home like this? Even though Luo Feng had indeed helped this time, Ai Zhaojiang only did not object to the two of them falling in love, he did not agree to them getting married! ¡°This photo¡­ I don¡¯t mean that¡­ I just feel that your room¡­ Hmm¡­ Do you like this room?¡± Ai Zhaojiang, a professor, actually had times when he was at a loss for words. He could only change the topic stiffly. Ai Tingya put down the photo and chuckled. With her back facing Ai Zhaojiang, she said, ¡°I¡¯m still missing a family photo and I would like it even more.¡± She turned around and smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s take a photo together next time.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was stunned on the spot for a moment before agreeing heavily. Her nose felt sore and she had the urge to cry. ¡°Sleep early. Call me if anything happens. I¡¯ll be next door.¡± Ai Zhaojiang quickly closed the door. He held on to the principle of not making a fool of himself in front of his granddaughter and held back his tears. After leaving Ai Tingya¡¯s room, he looked at the osmanthus tree under the moon and finally stopped feeling bitter. ¡­ At night, Ai Tingya lay on the bed, so soft that she was about to sink in. She could not sleep no matter what. She opened her eyes and counted the flowers on the mosquito net. Buzz! At this moment, her phone rang with a text notification. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Luo Feng. ¡°Tingya, I can¡¯t sleep at night because I miss you. I wonder if you¡¯re the same? Are you thinking about me?¡± ¡°Of course I miss you. I really want you to be by my side now.¡± Ai Tingya replied to the text message with a cute emoji. Even though Ai Tingya wanted to cry when they talked about her father¡¯s past tonight, she was actually happy. Her only regret was that Luo Feng was not by her side and no one to share it with. Buzz! The reply to Luo Feng¡¯s message was very fast. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to all of Tingya¡¯s dreams in person. Come to the courtyard.¡± Ai Tingya was at a loss. It was already so late. Luo Feng couldn¡¯t possibly run out of school, right? She shuffled out into the courtyard in her slippers. The autumn moonlight was bright and cold, casting black and white shadows. Ai Tingya looked at the door and realized that there was nothing abnormal. She was attracted by the shadow on the ground. Why was there something by the wall? Looking up at the wall, Luo Feng was lying on the wall with his chin propped up on his arm, smiling at Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya was shocked and hurriedly ran to the wall. She saw that it was indeed Luo Feng. ¡°Why did you run into someone else¡¯s courtyard? Come over quickly!¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°This is already our courtyard. You should come over.¡± Ai Tingya was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what Luo Feng meant. ¡°You bought it?¡± ¡°I bought it.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°To be closer to you.¡± The self-righteous Luo Feng made Ai Tingya cool down. She smiled helplessly. ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± There was a folding ladder in the corner of the courtyard wall. Ai Tingya moved it over and placed it beside Luo Feng. She climbed up step by step until she told him the same thing as Luo Feng. Ai Tingya glared at him angrily. ¡°Recklessly spending money again!¡± Ai Tingya reprimanded. ¡°It¡¯s worth it for you.¡± Luo Feng spread his arms. ¡°Climb over. I¡¯ll catch you.¡± Chapter 130 - 130 Youre Finally Willing To Call Me Grandpa! 130 You¡¯re Finally Willing To Call Me Grandpa! At night, at the Ai residence. Ai Zhaojiang lay on the bed and flipped left and right, like a piece of consciously fried egg. He flipped his body frequently and was so happy that he could not sleep. He had not been this happy since his son left home ten years ago. Ai Zhaojiang was so happy that he almost fainted, thinking of Ai Tingya calling him ¡°Grandpa¡±. Just as he was about to flip over another side, a black shadow floated past the window. Ai Zhaojiang immediately sat up and listened to the rustling in the courtyard. The people living near the courtyard were all old and had long fallen asleep at this time. Ai Zhaojiang felt that Ai Tingya wouldn¡¯t run into the courtyard at this time. He could only think of thieves! The vicinity had been chaotic recently. He heard that the two houses next to the intersection had been stolen! Normally, Ai Zhaojiang would lock the door and turn around to sleep. He was old after all, and his valuables were in the Bank. It would be better to call the police later. But today was different! Ai Tingya was still at home. What if she encountered any danger? Without thinking, Ai Zhaojiang picked up a broom behind the door and rushed into the courtyard, shouting, ¡°Little thief! Take this!¡± The broom was played vigorously in his hand like a red tassel spear. It danced wildly in the air without any order, but it was very imposing. There were no lights in the courtyard, illuminated by the brightness of the moonlight. Ai Tingya sat on the wall and half of her body had already entered the neighbor¡¯s courtyard. Luo Feng was also standing tall and holding Ai Tingya¡¯s waist. For a moment, the air in the courtyard froze, and the three of them looked at each other awkwardly. Luo Feng could not help but swallow when he saw Ai Zhaojiang holding the broom angrily. He pointed at the moon in the sky and said, ¡°The moon tonight is quite round, hahaha¡­¡± Ai Tingya did not dare to look at Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s expression. She pretended to scratch her head and cover her face with one hand. She felt like she had been caught cheating. Ai Zhaojiang held his heart and felt extremely heartbroken. There was only one thought in his mind¡ª A grown woman has wings! He was still yearning for the joy of family in the future. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng hooked his little granddaughter¡¯s soul away with a flick of his finger. He wanted to climb over the wall to see him. How could he keep this granddaughter who wished that she could marry herself off?! And that Luo Feng! Ai Zhaojiang felt that Luo Feng had also played a role in this reunion. He had changed his opinion of this kid slightly and acknowledged his boyfriend¡¯s identity. Instead of staying in school in the middle of the night, he came to teach Ai Tingya bad things. That ladder was so tall and heavy! How could he let Ai Tingya move it herself?! Ai Zhaojiang coughed twice and felt that the autumn night was especially cold. He looked up at the two lovers who were about to climb over the wall and suddenly felt that he was a little redundant. He did not seem to be holding a broom, but a club that had been stirred up. ¡°Hmph!¡± Ai Zhaojiang was furious and flicked his sleeves as he entered the house. Seeing this, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya came down from the wall awkwardly and followed Ai Zhaojiang into the living room. Ai Zhaojiang sat on the armchair. He was furious when he saw Luo Feng enter. He said in a bad tone, ¡°Why are you next door?¡± Luo Feng scratched his head in embarrassment and said, ¡°Uh¡­ I met a fortune-teller some time ago. He said that this place is a Feng Shui treasure land that would boost a smooth-sailing career. Healthy and happy family¡­¡± Do you take me for a fool? I¡¯ve lived here for decades, but I¡¯ve not seen many families being very happy. You¡¯re really trying to anger me, right? Ai Zhaojiang thought to himself. If not for Luo Feng, Ai Tingya would not have skipped sleep and climbed over the wall in the middle of the night. The little girl had been led astray so ridiculously! More importantly, he was still talking about which fool had spent a lot of money to buy a second-hand house today! Pfft! A home! Ai Zhaojiang shook his head. He was not prepared to treat Luo Feng as his family yet! However, on second thought, Luo Feng actually spent nine million yuan in order to get closer to Ai Tingya. Even though he was a fool in terms of actions, Ai Zhaojiang felt a little touched by his motive and ability. No! He could not compromise like this! ¡°Do you think I believe you?¡± Ai Zhaojiang pretended to be very angry. ¡°Uh¡­ You¡¯re intelligent and erudite. Of course, my little trick can¡¯t fool you. Actually, I¡¯m here to see Tingya and want to chat with her.¡± Luo Feng told the truth seriously. Ai Zhaojiang really did not know what to say when he was suddenly so straightforward. Ai Tingya, who was standing at the side, tried her best to purse her lips. The corners of her mouth were about to rise to the sky uncontrollably, and her face was flushed. From time to time, she would steal glances at Luo Feng, looking very shy. Ai Zhaojiang did not know what expression to show in the face of such a shy granddaughter. ¡°Alright! Kid¡­ Go back, go back to your own house!¡± Ai Zhaojiang chased him out. Luo Feng treated this as a confession meeting. He could not let him continue. Otherwise, would Ai Tingya still stay here obediently? Luo Feng looked up and blinked. He had spent so much effort to live next door, but all his efforts had been wasted just like that? Not to mention that the other party was Ai Tingya¡¯s grandfather and an old man. As a junior, he had indeed done something wrong. It was only right for him to listen to his lecture. Moreover, Ai Tingya¡¯s attachment to her family would one day become intimate with Ai Zhaojiang. It was a loss, but he could only go back first. He looked at Ai Tingya reluctantly and said softly, ¡°Sweet dreams. I¡¯ll go over first.¡± Ai Tingya, who was still intoxicated by Luo Feng¡¯s sweet confession, seemed to have woken up from a dream. She hurriedly held Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s hand and said coquettishly, ¡°Grandpa¡­ Grandpa, I want to stay with Luo Feng for a while more, okay? It¡¯s just for a while. I won¡¯t disturb your rest.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was stunned. He had been waiting for this ¡°Grandpa¡± for a long time. Why did she call him that so easily for Luo Feng? Ai Zhaojiang did not know whether to be happy or cry. All kinds of sour and sweet feelings mixed in his heart. ¡°Grandpa, just agree.¡± Ai Tingya wheedled even more. Ai Zhaojiang looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s cute face and expected better from someone! ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s getting late. Shouldn¡¯t you rest?¡± Ai Tingya blinked her big innocent eyes and shook Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s hand. Who could stop their cute granddaughter from acting coquettishly? Who could? In any case, Ai Zhaojiang could not withstand it! He felt that his little darling had already been labeled as someone else. He covered his heart and felt very heartbroken, but he still said firmly, ¡°Sleep early too. Staying up late is not good for your body.¡± Ai Zhaojiang had already done his best to be low-key. He was despised as a third wheel and had to be reminded to sleep early. Ai Tingya was his granddaughter after all. He could only rush in. After asking, Ai Zhaojiang rushed out of the living room and ran back to her room shakily. Ai Tingya and Luo Feng looked at the old lady¡¯s back and felt inexplicably guilty. However, they only wanted to chat for a while. ¡­ The next day. Ai Tingya woke up early and cooked a pot of very nourishing millet porridge. She also went to the entrance of the alley to buy a few buns. When she returned, Ai Zhaojiang had already woken up and was standing in the courtyard, looking at the osmanthus tree in a daze. Chapter 131 - 131 How Should I Deal With The Discount The Enemy Is Giving? 131 How Should I Deal With The Discount The Enemy Is Giving? ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯re up,¡± Ai Tingya greeted. Ai Zhaojiang saw her standing at the door with a steaming breakfast in her hand. He rubbed her eyes in disbelief, as if he did not believe that Ai Tingya could stand at the door. Ai Tingya asked in surprise, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are your eyes not feeling well?¡± Ai Zhaojiang said in a daze, ¡°I¡­ I thought you went next door¡­ Uh¡­ No, you¡¯re up so early.¡± Last night, Ai Zhaojiang put on soundproof earmuffs and forced himself to sleep in order not to hear Luo Feng abduct Ai Tingya. He was still a little dejected when he woke up in the morning. He looked at the empty courtyard and felt bitter. To his surprise, Ai Tingya had gone out to buy breakfast! What a considerate little granddaughter. Ai Zhaojiang felt that he had revived on the spot! ¡°I didn¡¯t know what you liked to eat, so I bought some of everything,¡± Ai Tingya said as she walked into the kitchen. ¡°I didn¡¯t dare to touch anything, so I cooked some millet porridge. Don¡¯t mind.¡± Ai Zhaojiang could not be happier. ¡°I don¡¯t mind, I don¡¯t mind. It smells so good.¡± Ai Tingya filled a plate with buns and filled it with porridge. She brought it to the stone table in the courtyard and arranged her chopsticks. ¡°Come and eat it while it¡¯s hot.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was flattered and sat down excitedly. Then, she saw Ai Tingya sitting beside her and picking up her bowl to eat normally. This action stunned Ai Zhaojiang for a few seconds. He thought that Ai Tingya would call Luo Feng over for dinner. After all, the young couple were sticky and seemed to be inseparable for a moment. There were actually only the two of them eating together! Ai Zhaojiang was even happier! ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it not to your liking?¡± Ai Tingya asked worriedly, seeing that Ai Zhaojiang had not touched her chopsticks. ¡°No, no!¡± Ai Zhaojiang picked up the bowl and said happily, ¡°It suits my taste very well. I feel that I can eat two big bowls!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Ai Tingya felt that Ai Zhaojiang was too easy to coax, looking at how he was eating heartily. She was also very happy that other than Luo Feng, there was actually someone else who was so happy over a small matter. This feeling was unbelievable and warm. After breakfast. Ai Tingya told Ai Zhaojiang that she was going to the milk tea shop to take a look. Ai Zhaojiang felt that it was serious and asked her to go quickly with a smile. She couldn¡¯t bear to worry about her work. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw Luo Feng standing at the door. ¡°Why are you standing at the door?¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s tone instantly turned cold. Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°Elder Ai, I¡¯m here to pick Tingya up. The milk tea shop has something on and wants us to go over.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was overjoyed in the morning. Only then did he remember that the milk tea shop was also Luo Feng¡¯s milk tea shop! Ai Tingya looked like she had gone to do serious business, but she was actually still stuck with Luo Feng. Moreover, he could not have any objections. ¡°Alright!¡± Ai Zhaojiang gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Go, be careful on the way!¡± ¡­ When Luo Feng and Ai Tingya arrived at the milk tea shop, they saw Xiao Fei jumping up and down like a rabbit. As soon as she saw Luo Feng, she immediately ran over and grabbed him. ¡°Not good, the milk tea shop over there is holding an event. There¡¯s a 30% discount!¡± After lowering the price, there was a discount. This was bad news for Luo Feng and the others. Ai Tingya immediately frowned. The main source of customers in the shopping mall where the milk tea shop was came from a few nearby schools. Discounts were very attractive to students without much money. In addition, the quality of the milk tea opposite was not bad. If they were not professional milk tea connoisseurs, they would not be able to tell the difference between the two flavors. Naturally, they would choose the one with a lower price. Originally, the milk tea at home was even cheaper. After discounting, a cup of milk tea that cost more than 10 yuan only cost a few yuan. It was definitely a loss, but he had indeed snatched away the customers in the shop. Ai Tingya thought about the extent of her influence and turned to Luo Feng. ¡°Why don¡¯t we give a discount too? Otherwise, we¡¯ll lose our competitiveness.¡± When Xiao Fei heard this, she felt a little sad. A discount meant that there would be fewer profits, and the dividends she could obtain would also be fewer. However, if there was no discount, there would be no profit without business in the shop. She thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Luo Feng did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Ai Tingya, ¡°Are you sure, Lady Boss?¡± Ai Tingya was stunned by the question. Then, she shook her head and rejected her suggestion. ¡°No, the other party is using a discount. It¡¯s very easy to fall into a cycle if we follow.¡± Previously, he had unintentionally hollowed out the employees of the opposite milk tea shop. Yan Kaize must have a stomach full of work. This time, they had to retaliate even if they made a loss. If Luo Feng and the others gave another discount, Yan Kaize would give them a 50% discount if he was forced into a corner. They had a lot of funds on their side, so it was fine if they made a loss. Ai Tingya knew that she could not afford to waste them. Luo Feng¡¯s eyes lit up and he nodded in admiration. Ai Tingya¡¯s momentary impatience did not make her make an impulsive decision. She could still see the current situation clearly. ¡°That¡¯s right. If the price is lowered, it will be very difficult to increase it again.¡± Luo Feng concluded. He knew Yan Kaize¡¯s plan. He wanted to use the discount to rope in customers and quickly clear out a wave of competitors. When the cleanup was almost complete and there were not many customers left, they would raise the original price. The future milk tea giants had all played similar tricks. However, Luo Feng knew that a huge flaw of the price war was that he had to achieve an industry monopoly. If he did not achieve the desired effect, the increase in price would become a crisis of customer loss. Take Yan Kaize for example. His main target was Good Me Milk Tea Shop. He wanted to use the discount to attract customers and squeeze Luo Feng out. If Luo Feng persevered, he would either choose to continue the discount and continue to lose money, or increase the original price and lose customers. He felt that Yan Kaize¡¯s eyes had turned red and he had begun to attack without caring about the consequences. Luo Feng did not care about profits, but Yan Kaize¡¯s actions would affect other aspects. He had memories of the future after all. It was not as if he had never seen people play tricks until they killed themselves. For example, a certain coffee that was being sold at a crazy discount adjusted the high-end slot of the entire coffee to be approachable. It was beneficial to the consumer, but he saw that there were other competitors. The other competitors insisted on not lowering the price. If the price of a certain coffee increased again, there would be a huge loss of customers and they would finally declare bankruptcy because of a loss. This risk is not yet widespread. Luo Feng did not know if Yan Kaize knew. If the other party knew this and still insisted on doing so, it was obvious that they wanted to use their strong strength to squeeze him to death. If they did not know, Yan Kaize would definitely suffer. In terms of strength¡­ Thinking of this, Luo Feng could not help but reveal a confident smile. He was definitely not afraid of fighting with his strength. As long as he had Ai Tingya, he could obtain a lot of profits. He was not afraid of being exhausted to death by Yan Kaize. However, Luo Feng did not want to follow in Yan Kaize¡¯s footsteps. In a competitive relationship, only by holding the initiative could he have a chance of winning. He had to take a more active countermeasure! Chapter 132 - 132 Protecting The Image And Launching A Couple Preferential Event 132 Protecting The Image And Launching A Couple Preferential Event Yan Kaize¡¯s random lowering of the price would also affect the positioning of the milk tea, giving customers the feeling that the milk tea was worthless. They would use the positioning of cheap milk tea to see all the milk tea, regardless of the cost. Actually, if Yan Kaize could successfully monopolize it and use the low price to tempt customers to develop the habit of drinking milk tea and make milk tea the first choice for drinks, it would not be a problem for him to increase the price again. However, with Luo Feng blocking him, it was still a problem if Yan Kaize could succeed. ¡°Then what should we do? Don¡¯t do anything?¡± Xiao Fei asked doubtfully. She did not understand why Ai Tingya rejected her suggestion, but she believed in her decision. Ai Tingya could not think of a good solution. She looked at Luo Feng for help. ¡°What do you think?¡± Luo Feng had to preserve Milk Tea¡¯s position and compete with Yan Kaize. He thought for a moment and suddenly smiled. ¡°We can¡¯t give a discount openly, but we can launch a promotional event,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Event?¡± Ai Tingya did not know what Luo Feng was talking about. Luo Feng hugged her and said, ¡°For example, we can launch a couple discount event. The first cup will be at the original price, and the second cup will be free.¡± Xiao Fei blinked, a little confused. The first cup is the original price, and the second cup will be free¡­ What is the difference between this and a 50% discount? Luo Feng explained, ¡°There are two benefits to launching the event. Firstly, we can set a deadline for the event or stop it at any time. Secondly, a direct discount and the psychological hint given to the customer are different.¡± The discount would make people feel like the seller was making a small profit on a lot of sales. Milk tea was originally not worth so much money. As for the event, not only did it preserve its image, it would also give customers a false sense of feeling that they had taken advantage of them. ¡°This event sounds pretty good.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. Indeed, they have yet to launch any event since they opened the shop. They could use this opportunity to test the waters. ¡°Luo Feng, you¡¯re really a genius!¡± Ai Tingya praised. They were both students, but she could not catch up to Luo Feng. Facing the enthusiastic admiration, Luo Feng looked away guiltily and scratched his cheek. Actually, the method he was talking about was a very popular marketing method in the future. There were successful cases. However, information was not developed and had yet to spread. Ai Tingya could not hear Luo Feng¡¯s thoughts and only knew that there was more important work waiting for her. She rubbed her head and rested, preparing to do something big. ¡°Come, I¡¯ll write a detailed event plan immediately!¡± ¡­ At the milk tea shop at the intersection. Yan Kaize and the original owner were both guarding the shop. The original owner was not very happy when he saw that the shop was full. In order to prevent Luo Feng from poaching them again, they recruited new employees and increased their salary and treatment. As they still did not catch up to Luo Feng¡¯s treatment, they signed a few guarantees on the contract. However, they still had to guard the shop every day just in case. The cost of labor was much higher this time. Coupled with the discount, the more losses they would lose. For the first time, the original owner could not laugh out loud when he saw the shop full of customers. Yan Kaize knew these things very well. However, he did not care. He wanted to throw money in and throw money with all his might. He wanted to show Luo Feng what it meant to be rich! The two of them were like two stone lions guarding the house. They stared at each other angrily, as if they were not looking at anything, or as if they had taken in the entire shop. The serious atmosphere made the employees not dare to breathe loudly. They felt that they were not working in a milk tea shop, but in a prison. They were not allowed to whisper. At this moment, a customer who looked like a student walked into the milk tea shop. Before his foot landed, he quickly retracted it and retreated. Boss Yuan was anxious. Their goal this time was to attract customers. They had to attract customers even at a loss. If they could not even keep the customers, wouldn¡¯t their efforts be in vain? He hurriedly chased after the student and stopped him. ¡°Student, why are you leaving? Are you dissatisfied with the service in our shop?¡± The student shook his head and said, ¡°No, I just feel that the atmosphere in your milk tea shop is a little similar to the laboratory. I¡¯m easily triggered by serious faces, so let¡¯s do it next time.¡± With that, he ran away, not giving Boss Yuan any time to explain. The shop assistant listened to this strange conversation and agreed fiercely in his heart! If possible, he really wanted to run! The original boss returned to his seat and looked at Yan Kaize. He was also shocked by the other party¡¯s bitter expression. The two of them discussed it and felt that it was indeed inappropriate. They found something else on hand that did not seem so scary. The atmosphere in the shop was much more relaxed, and the shop assistants were much more at ease. They made milk tea faster. More and more customers came for the discount. The original boss was both happy and worried. He hoped that his business would return to the right track quickly. Otherwise, his few million yuan would not be enough for Yan Kaize to waste. ¡­ There were fewer customers in the shop after lunch. A boy walked into the shop first and greeted Yan Kaize with a smile. ¡°Senior, I¡¯m here to support you.¡± The person who came was called Shen Xiaokuan. He was Yan Kaize¡¯s junior and admirer. Unlike the other students, Shen Xiaokuan had really received Yan Kaize¡¯s guidance, so he, who had always been a loyal fan of Good Me, immediately turned to him after Yan Kaize opened the milk tea shop. When Yan Kaize saw that it was a junior who supported him, he immediately pulled him into the shop and said, ¡°There¡¯s a discount today. You will be having one.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Shen Xiaokuan replied embarrassedly. He turned around and asked, ¡°What do you want to drink?¡± Yan Kaize followed his gaze and saw a girl following behind Shen Xiaokuan. She distanced herself from him and smiled shyly at him. This ambiguous atmosphere was too obvious. Shen Xiaokuan was in a relationship! Yan Kaize asked softly, ¡°Why did you not tell Senior that you have a girlfriend?¡± Shen Xiaokuan scratched his head shyly and said, ¡°She hasn¡¯t agreed yet. We¡¯re just normal friends.¡± Yan Kaize patted his chest and said, ¡°Order whatever milk tea you want today. It¡¯s my treat.¡± He naturally had to help with his junior¡¯s relationship. Moreover, if he sold a small favor, he would bring more guests in the future. It could be considered helping to solicit customers. Shen Xiaokuan wanted to refuse, but at the thought of showing his connections in front of the girls, he said, ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡± He asked the girl again what she wanted to drink, but he realized that she had been standing at the door and had not entered. Shen Xiaokuan walked to the girl¡¯s side and saw that she was attracted by a lively place in front of her. He did not know what she was doing, but he could vaguely see many pink balloons in front of the door. They looked very suitable for couples and were surrounded by many people. ¡°I want to take a look over there first,¡± the girl said, pointing at the place with the pink balloons. Shen Xiaokuan thought that since it was not far, he could take a look and come back for something to drink. He said to Yan Kaize, ¡°Senior, we¡¯ll go ahead and take a look. We¡¯ll come back later.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Yan Kaize didn¡¯t think too much about it and watched them leave. He also wanted to know what was so interesting. When he walked to the door, his heart skipped a beat¡ª Wasn¡¯t that Luo Feng¡¯s shop? Chapter 133 - 133 Immortal Event, Please Accept My Bow! 133 Immortal Event, Please Accept My Bow! In front of Good Me¡¯s milk tea, there was a rainbow-shaped bonus balloon. There was a red carpet in front of the door and a sign filled with bonus bubbles stood beside it. ¡°Winning Milk Tea Event: A couple is challenged to kiss for 30 seconds and you can win two free milk teas.¡± An onlooker read aloud, ¡°The event is in progress. Couples can enter the shop to spend. The second cup is free!¡± The onlookers were in an uproar hearing these two lines of explanation. Shen Xiaokuan, who was standing at the back of the crowd, also lit up. This place has a better promotion than Yan Kaize¡¯s. He secretly glanced at the girl beside him and realized that she was completely attracted by the content of the event. Was she thinking the same thing as him? Shen Xiaokuan¡¯s heart was beating like a small drum. He tiptoed to see if anyone was involved. If there were many people, he would also¡­ Even though there were many onlookers, kissing in public was still a little bold for current people. Even young people who dared to try new things the most could not help but feel shy. Many young couples held their lovers¡¯ hands and turned their faces away shyly. They wanted to go forward but did not dare to. Seeing that no one was supporting them, Xiao Fei, who was hosting the event, revealed a worried expression. She turned her head and whispered, ¡°Xiaoya, what should we do? No one is coming up.¡± When Ai Tingya wrote the event plan, she also felt that it was too cutting-edge. However, Luo Feng patted his chest and guaranteed that the person who came to give it a try would definitely be up to no good. Only then did she finalize the event. Just as the two of them were vexed, Luo Feng wrapped his arm around Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder. He tempted her by her ear, ¡°Let¡¯s go and set an example for them.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Ai Tingya was pulled to the door by Luo Feng before she could react. Luo Feng held her face and said, ¡°Love has to be said aloud.¡± Their lips were gently pressed together. Ai Tingya¡¯s subconscious reaction was to push Luo Feng away. She struggled shyly twice but could not break free from Luo Feng¡¯s restraint. Her lips were pressed tightly together, and the timer beside her began to count down. The crowd erupted into excited screams. ¡°Ah! They really kissed!¡± ¡°It¡¯s so romantic to confess in front of so many people.¡± ¡°Darling, I want to try too. You must accompany me!¡± The girls yearned for it to the extreme, especially when they saw Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. They were handsome and beautiful, as if they were watching an idol drama. The male lead confessed loudly in front of everyone. It was too romantic. Ai Tingya felt that her ears were about to burn. She kept exerting strength in her hands, but she quickly ran out of strength. She obediently was hugged by Luo Feng and slowly closed her eyes, feeling Luo Feng¡¯s hot breathing. Time passed. Ai Tingya¡¯s initial resistance turned into acceptance and enjoyment. She really hoped that time could stop at this moment. She wanted to be so happy forever. Suddenly, Luo Feng¡¯s lips parted slightly, and the tip of his tongue was like an agile dragonfly as it quickly brushed past Ai Tingya¡¯s lips. Ai Tingya quickly came back to her senses and pushed Luo Feng away as if she had been electrocuted. ¡°You! You¡¯re breaking the rules!¡± Ai Tingya said angrily. Luo Feng licked his lips and mouthed, ¡°It tastes good.¡± Ai Tingya was almost angered to death by Luo Feng. How could he stick his tongue in when they were in front of so many people? She did not know if anyone had seen them. Luo Feng wrapped his hand around Ai Tingya¡¯s slender waist and said, ¡°Why are you so shy? It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t done it before. Do you want to do it again?¡± Ai Tingya quickly pushed him away. This kind of soul-stirring once was enough! ¡°Hahaha.¡± Xiao Fei walked out of the shop with a smile. ¡°The kissing time is two minutes. The challenge has been completed. The reward is two cups of milk tea. Boss, Lady Boss, take them.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Ai Tingya said coquettishly. ¡°You hooligan, you don¡¯t have a share. These two glasses are mine!¡± Luo Feng opened his arms and said, ¡°It¡¯s not just the milk teas. I¡¯m yours too.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so bad!¡± Under special circumstances, flirting would not be said to be a public display of affection. Instead, it was to help build the atmosphere. Many girls could not help but want to pull their boyfriends forward. One by one, they went to Xiao Fei¡¯s place to get the numbers. The scene immediately became lively. Even though some shy couples did not participate in the event, they could feel happiness just by seeing other people¡¯s happy smiles. They could not get two free milk teas, but they could enjoy a second half-price cup. People kept walking into the milk tea shop to order. Xiao Fei had to entertain the guests inside and deal with the outside at the same time. She was extremely busy. As for the singles, wasn¡¯t it normal for them to show off their love to couples? They did not know why they were standing at the door like guards, but they wanted to see. It was as if they could see the beautiful love they yearned for through these couples. It also made them determined to find a partner and participate in the event to show off their thoughts. In short, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became. The only one who was a little nervous was Shen Xiaokuan. His sweaty palms had been wiping his clothes. He did not know if it would be too abrupt for him to ask to participate in the event and if the girl would be angry. He was conflicted and kept glancing at the girl. At this moment, the girl said, ¡°Ah, I¡¯m really envious of them.¡± Shen Xiaokuan said nervously, ¡°Are you envious of the free milk tea or their love?¡± The girl smiled and said, ¡°Both. If only I could participate.¡± This was an opportunity! Shen Xiaokuan¡¯s mind buzzed as he stuttered, ¡°Then¡­ Then if it¡¯s me¡­ can I¡­ accompany you to participate? What I mean¡­ is not to kiss¡­ It¡¯s just that¡­ don¡¯t you think that free milk tea¡­ is very¡­ very good?¡± His mind was in a mess, and he did not know if he had expressed himself clearly. The girl giggled. ¡°I really want free milk tea, but isn¡¯t your senior still waiting? It¡¯s not good for us to participate in an event here, right?¡± Shen Xiaokuan felt his heart about to jump out. So the girl had never participated in the event because she was thinking about him! She was really a gentle and considerate girl. How could he let her down! ¡°Don¡¯t worry about my Senior. I¡¯m willing to accompany you if you want to participate!¡± Shen Xiaokuan apologized to Yan Kaize in his heart. Love was indeed more important! He looked into the girl¡¯s eyes expectantly and finally heard her say, ¡°Okay, I want the strawberry-flavored one.¡± At that moment, Shen Xiaokuan was so excited that he was about to cry. He had already dated the girl a few times and had been conflicted about her feelings for him. He was afraid that he would be hated if he confessed rashly, so he had been looking for a suitable opportunity, but he had never encountered it. Wasn¡¯t this just picking one up for free by the roadside? Would a girl kiss someone she didn¡¯t like for a cup of milk tea? Of course not! She was also using the excuse to show her thoughts. ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± Shen Xiaokuan boldly took the girl¡¯s hand. ¡°What a big idiot.¡± The girl pouted. ¡°If not for today¡¯s event, I don¡¯t know how long I would have to wait for you.¡± Chapter 134 - 134 Believe In The Rumors, The Milk Tea Shop Is Comparable to Magpie Bridge 134 Believe In The Rumors, The Milk Tea Shop Is Comparable to Magpie Bridge Shen Xiaokuan pulled the girl to Xiao Fei. ¡°Hello, we want to participate in the event.¡± Shen Xiaokuan had a sweet smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with the girls beside him. ¡°Alright, please wait a moment. You can look at our menu first and choose your favorite flavors.¡± Xiao Fei handed over a flyer with the latest taste and pointed at the two boys beside the timer. Shen Xiaokuan was stunned. Two boys? How could this be considered a couple? He hesitated and looked at the event publicity board to confirm that he could read. Xiao Fei seemed to have seen through his doubts and smiled. ¡°In our place, as long as you really love each other, you¡¯re a couple.¡± The two boys beside the timer hugged and kissed each other happily. The popularity in front of the milk tea shop had reached its peak. Everyone was cheering enthusiastically for the two brave people. The hesitant couples no longer hesitated and went forward to register. Xiao Fei couldn¡¯t be more busy. The entire scene was filled with the sweet smell of pink. Other than Yan Kaize, who was not far away, he had personally seen his dead loyal fan junior pull a girl to the event with a blissful expression. Why? Was the milk tea opposite more fragrant than what his senior had? Yan Kaize had never been so helpless since he started his business. He walked back to his shop with a dejected expression and realized that there were only a few customers left. A customer had just ordered milk tea from him and was about to pay when he was attracted by the commotion on Luo Feng¡¯s side. He threw down some good orders and ran over. It was too insulting! Yan Kaize covered his face and let out a long sigh. Boss Yuan did not know what was happening outside. He walked over and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yan Kaize pointed at Luo Feng and said, ¡°Do you think we still have business in our shop?¡± Whether the guests could stay or not depended on the employee¡¯s hand speed. If they collected the money quickly, the guests would not run away. If they collected the money slowly, the guests would quickly be attracted by the activities there. A cup of milk tea could be drunk anywhere after all. It was a few yuan more expensive and could join in the fun. Yan Kaize¡¯s advantage was immediately gone. The original owner looked at the overcrowded shop over there and then at his own home. The employees were lying comfortably on the bar counter and had already begun to rest. ¡°Director Yan, why don¡¯t we forget it?¡± Boss Yuan resigned to his fate. ¡°Your junior has too many evil ideas. We won¡¯t be able to defeat him.¡± Boss Yuan did not want to continue fighting with these two fellows. According to Yan Kaize¡¯s competitive method, he would have to incur losses with his few million yuan. It was fine if he had lost money previously, but it was true that he had cut his losses in time. ¡°Director Yan, what do you think?¡± Boss Yuan asked uneasily. Even though he was one of the shareholders, the one who really made the decision was still Yan Kaize. Yan Kaize pondered for a moment and suddenly raised his head. ¡°Yes! There¡¯s no point fighting here alone!¡± When the original owner heard this, he immediately smiled. He could finally open his shop in peace. Before he could flatter him, he heard Yan Kaize continue, ¡°It¡¯s meaningless to just compete with him in one territory. Luo Feng only dominates this shopping mall. Such a big city is filled with business districts and schools! I want to expand quickly and occupy the market.¡± Yan Kaize felt that this route had a bright future. ¡°Even if Luo Feng is crazy, he can only be crazy in this commercial area! Prepare to expand the shop immediately!¡± The original boss buried his head and did not dare to reply. He thought to himself, You haven¡¯t even figured out one place and you¡¯re already preparing to attack other places. How can this work? He did not dare to say it explicitly, so he could only say tactfully, ¡°What if Luo Feng and the others expand too? I think he should be able to think of this, right?¡± Yan Kaize said firmly, ¡°Impossible! They don¡¯t have that much money!¡± He was a student after all. He could not borrow much from the Bank. Yan Kaize had worked hard for many years and was still very confident in his assets. ¡­ After the couple¡¯s event at Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop ended. That night, a new post appeared on the Oxford Student Forum: ¡°Good Me, The Beginning Point Between My Goddess and Me!¡± The post was from Shen Xiaokuan. He completely threw Yan Kaize to the back of his mind. There was only the joy of his successful confession that he could not help but share with everyone. She was a goddess he had a crush on for a year after all. If not for today¡¯s opportunity, he did not know how long he would have been secretly in love. Even after returning to the dormitory, he could not hide his excitement. He simply ran to the forum and posted, making others envious. ¡°I¡¯ve read many love books and am troubled every day about how to make the goddess happy. I put in a lot of effort to make the goddess smile. I didn¡¯t expect that the goddess and I would have the same thoughts when we went shopping today and happened to participate in an event at a milk tea shop!¡± ¡°We walked together because of two free milk teas. Here, I want to thank Good Me first¡­¡± Shen Xiaokuan wrote a long text with many emotions. He had fallen in love with girls from the moment he met them by chance a year ago. He had a crush on her for a year. Especially when he talked about the girl calling him an ¡°idiot¡± and saying that she had made him wait too long, Shen Xiaokuan felt his heart beating non-stop when he thought about it. He might have missed the best opportunity if not for the fact that he was at Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop today! His mood was revealed between the lines. The students reading the post followed suit and could not help but smile. The post was quickly pushed to the front page and more and more people saw it. ¡°Blessings, Tower Lord. I¡¯m so happy to be able to work with the Goddess in both directions.¡± ¡°Boohoo, why am I so excited as a single dog? But it¡¯s really too sweet. It¡¯s even sweeter than an idol drama.¡± ¡°Who would understand? I twisted like a maggot on the bed. My roommate asked me if I was sick. I showed him the post. Now, he¡¯s twisting too. Bless the owner.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± ¡°Comrades, don¡¯t be in a hurry to confess. The goddess of the OP also likes the OP, so the two of them successfully held hands. If a girl is not interested in you, random confessions will only cause trouble.¡± ¡°I agree with the person above. But speaking of which, liking someone will be magnified in a romantic setting. Therefore, everyone, take advantage of the opportunity and try!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! That¡¯s how my roommate and I got together. I suggest that everyone go and watch the fun. There might be an unexpected gain!¡± It had been a long time since the next reply appeared. It was very rare for a popular post. The air was silent for a long time before there was a new reply. ¡°F*ck, what did I see?¡± ¡°Ro¡­ roommate? Mama-mia, can you say that?¡± ¡°I¡¯m so afraid. Why do I feel that there¡¯s something wrong with the way my roommate looks at me? He even said that he¡¯s treating me to milk tea tomorrow?!¡± ¡°Hahahaha, the person above, take a closer look at your heart. Don¡¯t miss out on a good match, hahaha.¡± ¡°Is this true? Then I¡¯ll go take a look tomorrow!¡± Chapter 135 - 135 Its Finally Time To Expand! 135 It¡¯s Finally Time To Expand! The events of Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop gradually became ridiculous under the influence of various legends. In the beginning, it was to cross the restrictions of gender and encourage everyone to pursue love bravely. Those who had a crush encouraged each other to go to the event venue to give it a try. It was said that the probability of confessing would increase if they participated in the event. In a sense, the event at Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop was an extraordinary success. The news began to spread on the Oxford forum and gradually spread to the surrounding schools. The students were basically discussing this matter. The further it spread, the more versions there were. There was a very strange rumor after that¡ªthe probability of confessing with the genuine Good Me milk tea was especially high! When Luo Feng heard about this legend, he wondered if Lei Jin had mixed in and exaggerated the situation. He was really lucky in terms of publicity after all. It seemed ridiculous, but it was very popular. It was also such rumors that expanded Good Me¡¯s reputation. It made Good Me¡¯s milk tea really popular nearby, making the other milk tea shops inferior. When Luo Feng patrolled the shop, there were almost not enough round tables in the shop¡ªeach table was occupied by a young couple. The others understood just by looking at the atmosphere, so they changed to other tables. A crowded and relaxed atmosphere appeared in the shop. Luo Feng walked to the bar and said to Xiao Fei, ¡°I heard that many people have come to our shop to confess recently. Are there many successful people?¡± Xiao Fei said, ¡°There are really a lot of them. Our shop has the reputation of the matchmaker firm after all. If girls are not interested in boys, they won¡¯t follow us here.¡± Luo Feng nodded in relief. Fortunately, there were no ridiculous titles. But then again, goods that were really related to love would be sought after. For example, diamonds. A slogan that said, ¡°Diamonds last forever, one for eternity¡± made them an indispensable item for marriage proposals. They became a gift to express love other than the traditional three pieces of gold. However, in the future, there were actually many artificial zircons that were brighter than diamonds. They could fool all kinds of detectors and masters. They were even purer and cheaper than natural diamonds. However, the price of natural diamonds remained high. The larger and more expensive they were, the more they could express their love. Luo Feng had been with Xing Miaomiao in his previous life. She was interested in accessories that were useless other than being beautiful. In order to make Xing Miaomiao happy, Luo Feng spent 20,000 yuan to buy a 50-cent natural real diamond. At that time, he was in the early stages of his entrepreneurship and was most short of money. Even though 20,000 yuan was not much, it was a little difficult for him to take it out. He gritted his teeth and bought it. Therefore, from that moment on, Luo Feng had an unforgettable understanding of marketing love. No matter what product it was, as long as it could be successfully linked to love, there was no need to worry about its sales. Now, Luo Feng was very proficient in using it. This event spread the name of the milk tea shop. It was indeed very beneficial to the brand and was more attractive to young customers. Luo Feng did not think so far ahead at first. However, the popularity was too high, and consumers spontaneously helped promote it. It was better than Luo Feng going for the hard and wide Effect. ¡°We can take advantage of this momentum to carry out the next step!¡± Luo Feng understood that the opportunity was fleeting. ¡°Hurry up and prepare to expand the shop immediately!¡± Xiao Fei, who was beside her, was stunned. Even though she did not understand the meaning, she raised both hands in agreement to expand the shop. The store manager who left her shop had to share the profits with her in the future. At this moment, Ai Tingya walked in. She was still holding her books in her hand. It seemed that she had come straight over after class. She happened to hear Luo Feng mention expansion. Good Me¡¯s milk tea point had been preparing to expand for half a year. It should take off while it is still hot. ¡°Is it ready? Have you chosen the address?¡± Ai Tingya put down her book and asked. Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s something more important to do before opening the shop. We already have three shops. We have to open the company and standardize management.¡± Speaking of this company, it was similar to a leather bag company so far. Even though there were already three shops and a food factory, the company did not even have a decent office. Currently, the company only has two official employees under its name. The chairman, Luo Feng, and the general manager, Ai Tingya. If word got out, others would definitely think that they were scammers. Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya down to sit. He had to think about the company. ¡°If we want to expand, we can¡¯t go to the milk tea shop every day like now. We can formalize the company and set strict requirements for the shop.¡± Ai Tingya nodded in agreement. She studied finance while thinking about the future of the milk tea shop. From the looks of it, she and Luo Feng had to step down from the front line and be in charge of more important work. The two of them hit it off and immediately began to move. The first step of standardizing the company was to find a decent office location. Luo Feng and the others had not been here for long and did not know many people. However, with Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s face, Luo Feng asked the landlord who had rented the milk tea shop to them previously. In a few days, he found an old office building with average conditions. Of course, Luo Feng also wanted to find a place with convenient transportation and complete facilities. However, Ai Tingya was the one who went to talk to the landlord. The first condition was that it was cheap. It looked like there was only one condition, but this one could already classify many office buildings outside the range of consideration. Luo Feng looked at the empty house, the dusty corners, and the wires that were exposed in a chaotic manner. He sighed silently. Actually, his original plan was to buy an office building. It was not that he did not have the money. However, Ai Tingya knew his problem and did not allow him to come into contact with the landlord. Ai Tingya was in charge of renting the house herself. Luo Feng could not even ask. Ai Tingya felt that the salary of the employees could be higher. It was not easy to work after all. The staff dormitory could also be better. Otherwise, how could she focus all her attention on work? However, the office space he used was enough! As long as the house did not collapse and there was a ceiling to block the wind and rain, she could overcome everything else. Luo Feng was really helpless. Sometimes, Ai Tingya was very easy to fool, but if she really became stubborn, even ten cows would not be able to pull her back. What could Luo Feng do? He could only pamper her. ¡°Tingya, isn¡¯t this place too simple?¡± Luo Feng thought about struggling one last time. ¡°I have money and can rent a better one.¡± ¡°No!¡± Ai Tingya rejected him directly. There was no room for negotiation. ¡°The employees won¡¯t despise the office environment if the salary is higher. Moreover, you didn¡¯t pick up your money for nothing. Can¡¯t you use it to employ limited resources where they are needed most?¡± Luo Feng shrunk his neck and thought guiltily, ¡°I mean¡­ I¡¯m getting it almost for free.¡± However, he could not tell Ai Tingya this openly. He could only hold it in. Chapter 136 - 136 Unsatisfactory Beginning, None Of Them Came Satisfied 136 Unsatisfactory Beginning, None Of Them Came Satisfied The three of them tidied up the interview room simply. The interview had started too quickly. The second-hand furniture that Ai Tingya had bought had yet to be transported. She could only set up a table and set up a few chairs. Xiao Fei sat on the side seat excitedly, her feet swaying under the table. ¡°Oh! Oh! I want to be an interviewer too! I¡¯m so excited.¡± Xiao Fei swayed and asked, ¡°How is my dressing today? I didn¡¯t embarrass the company, right?¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°No, you¡¯re the future backbone of our company. Don¡¯t lose your position.¡± When Xiao Fei heard this, she immediately placed her hands on her knees and sat upright with a straight face to make herself look more mature. When Luo Feng and Ai Tingya saw her cute appearance, they could not help but laugh. Actually, Xiao Fei was not an official employee of the company. However, Luo Feng had the intention of letting her be in charge of the store manager training in this area in the future. Even though Xiao Fei was not good at studying, she did not care about small details. She had a straightforward and rough way of doing things. It was very suitable for her to be a trainer. Not only was it to keep up with the company¡¯s development, but it was also to help suppress the situation. After all, it was just him and Ai Tingya. In addition, there was an office that picked up scraps. It looked like there was really no future for them. However, Luo Feng quickly regretted it. This was because Ai Tingya was wearing close-fitting office attire today! Under her clear waistline was a short skirt. Her long legs were leaning against each other. Just looking at them made one¡¯s blood boil. They should be alone at a time like this! Just as Luo Feng was feeling restless, a person holding a resume walked to the door and looked around. He retreated and looked at the sign at the door before entering again. ¡°May I ask if this is the place to interview for Ting Feng¡¯s company?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Ai Tingya replied. The three of them quickly got into position and entered their character. The first to arrive was a young man. He did not look much older than Luo Feng and the others. The young man looked embarrassed. After handing the resume to Ai Tingya, he kept scratching it. Even though he had his head lowered, he secretly raised his eyelids and looked left and right. He probably did not expect this company to be so simple and muttered in his heart. Ai Tingya asked two questions. The young man was always slow and his answers were not very positive. His words were vague and seemed to be a little impatient. ¡°That¡¯s about it. I¡¯ll inform you about the interview results on a work day.¡± Ai Tingya put down the young man¡¯s resume and said. She always did not get the answer she wanted, causing Ai Tingya to be unable to hold it in. After the young man walked away, Ai Tingya removed her disguise and lay on the table in dejection. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the first one to be so unsuccessful.¡± Xiao Fei nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Why do I feel that he¡¯s very impatient?¡± Luo Feng sighed and said, ¡°He must have thought that he was deceived because we¡¯re young and the place isn¡¯t good.¡± He remembered a piece of news he had seen before. There were two people who specially opened a company in a very remote suburb. They marked their salary very high and attracted job applicants to come for interviews. Then, they asked them to print information themselves on the grounds that the company needed information. In order not to waste time, job seekers would choose to print at the expensive photocopying shop downstairs. They bought a pile of useless waste paper and were told to go back and wait for the notice. They attract dozens of interviewees a day and use the same method to get them to spend it at the print shop. They made a lot of money. The first interviewee was at the age of a student who had just come out to the society. He must have gone to many companies for an interview and had some more direct judgment. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have been in a hurry to post the recruitment notice if I had known earlier,¡± Ai Tingya said helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s okay. This can also be used as a test point.¡± Luo Feng patted her back comfortingly. ¡°Can you do it? Let¡¯s start the next one.¡± Ai Tingya immediately sat up straight and said seriously, ¡°Call the next one in.¡± One by one, the interviewees walked into the office. After Ai Tingya had EXP, the speed of the interview became faster and faster, and her frown deepened. She was not the only one. Even Luo Feng could not help but look worried. Those who came for the interview either saw that the company¡¯s conditions were simple and felt that Luo Feng and the others were making a big show of it and did not have any desire to join. Or they made a big show of it for Luo Feng and the others and said a lot of impassioned words. They planned how to make the company better in the future, but their eyes kept glancing at Ai Tingya. From the looks of it, he was determined to be a freeloader. This was Luo Feng¡¯s future goal. He did not allow anyone to covet Ai Tingya and quickly sent him away. The office was indeed different from when he started his own business. When he started his business, there was only him, Lei Jin and a few partners. In order to save cost, they only retained an accountant. The rest of the work was done by the few of them. They were so busy all day. It looked like he was recruiting people to share the workload, but it was actually very difficult to recruit a suitable candidate, let alone manage it. ¡°Sigh!¡± Ai Tingya was like a deflated ball. She lay on the table and felt that she could no longer get up. ¡°I¡¯m so tired¡­¡± She would not complain about being tired even if she was busy at the milk tea shop for the entire day and read all night. Now that she was about to be exhausted by the various magical answers from the interview, she really needed a good level of composure to not show her emotions. Xiao Fei also lay down in the chair. ¡°Is it so difficult to meet a serious person? I didn¡¯t know interviewing was so difficult.¡± The two young girls, who were originally ambitious, had encountered an unexpected setback. They pouted and could not muster any motivation. Even though it was a little beyond Luo Feng¡¯s expectations, he was still calm and could still be interviewed for another round. ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged. Isn¡¯t this common?¡± Luo Feng comforted the two of them. ¡°We recruit people for the entire society. We¡¯ll encounter people with different knowledge and personalities. It¡¯s normal for us not to be able to say the same thing.¡± The students in school came into contact with students who had similar knowledge and educational backgrounds as them. The milk tea shop also encountered young people of similar age and preferences. However, Luo Feng had come into contact with all kinds of people and knew the difficulty of communicating with anyone. Ai Tingya snorted unhappily. She suddenly regretted her decision. Was it more suitable to rent a better-looking office space as per Luo Feng¡¯s thinking back then? It was indeed difficult for poor companies to attract good talents. She said weakly, ¡°Luo Feng, why don¡¯t we change the office space?¡± Luo Feng knew that she was letting one¡¯s imagination run wild. He stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. Recruitment is a two-way process. Those interviewees just now didn¡¯t fancy our company. To be honest, I didn¡¯t fancy them either.¡± What he needed were companions who could fight together in the future, not people who were to blow smoke and be full of it. ¡°We¡¯re recruiting for human resources positions. The people in this position are in charge of the company¡¯s blood. What we need is people with foresight.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°I believe our high salary will definitely attract knowledgeable people.¡± Chapter 137 - 137 Mental Rollercoaster, Is This Company Alright? 137 Mental Rollercoaster, Is This Company Alright? Luo Feng could not bear to see Ai Tingya depressed. If possible, he hoped that Ai Tingya would be happy forever. ¡°Really?¡± Ai Tingya did not believe it, afraid that Luo Feng was just saying it to comfort her. Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°Of course, when did I lie to you¡­¡± At this point, he could not help but pause. Thinking about it carefully, he had lied. However, those were all white lies. There was no harm to Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei looked at each other and felt that what Luo Feng said made sense. The two girls were disappointed and pulled themselves together very quickly. Xiao Fei recovered and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go down and buy food! We¡¯ll come back in the afternoon after we¡¯re full! I don¡¯t believe we can¡¯t find a good employee with such a good company atmosphere. I¡¯ll treat you today! What do you two want to eat?¡± After earning money, Xiao Fei¡¯s voice became much louder. ¡°Alright, then I want one¡­¡± Before Luo Feng could finish ordering, he noticed another woman standing at the door. The woman tidied up very neatly. The large amount of hair gel on her head combed her dry and fluffy hair into submission. There were dark circles under her eyes, but she puffed up her chest and back and forced herself to look energetic. ¡°Hello, is this Ting Feng¡¯s company?¡± The woman¡¯s voice was hoarse and filled with fatigue. Xiao Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Yes, please come in.¡± The woman handed the certificate to Ai Tingya and returned to the interview seat. Ai Tingya opened her resume and her eyes lit up. The woman¡¯s name was Song Anrong. She was 34 years old this year. She had graduated from a high school and had been a HR supervisor of a high-end company for five years. She had already reached the position of a middle-level leader. The content of the resume was very beautiful, except that the target¡¯s salary was higher. Ai Tingya could not help but be stunned when she saw this. The salary they gave was already far higher than the standard of a similar company, but the salary Song Anrong hoped for was slightly higher than theirs. Someone who was confident enough to bid a high price must be very confident. However, Ai Tingya caught a trace of uneasiness on Song Anrong¡¯s face. She could not make up her mind, so she handed the resume to Luo Feng and let him decide. Luo Feng roughly browsed through it and asked a few professional questions. Song Anrong answered smoothly and had a very appropriate way to deal with unexpected situations. The quality of her Profession was needless to say. After a few questions, Luo Feng felt that Song Anrong was the person closest to the position of HR supervisor in his heart. ¡°Very good, we¡¯re very satisfied with you.¡± Luo Feng was not stingy with his praise. ¡°But there¡¯s one last question.¡± ¡°Please ask.¡± Song Anrong was a little surprised, but she quickly regained her composure. Luo Feng supported his chin with both hands and said, ¡°I see that you¡¯re developing very well in the previous company. Moreover, the company is also developing rapidly and has a bright future. Why did you choose to resign during the upgrade period?¡± Song Anrong opened her mouth and glanced to the side hesitantly. ¡°If you¡¯re unwilling to answer, then forget it,¡± Luo Feng said. When Song Anrong heard this, she did not heave a sigh of relief. Instead, she seemed to be worried that Luo Feng would misunderstand and hurriedly explained, ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s because my mother is sick. I¡¯m her only relative. I resigned¡­ to take care of her.¡± The other three immediately understood. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for bringing up your sad matter.¡± Luo Feng apologized. Song Anrong felt relieved when she said it. ¡°It¡¯s alright. The investigation into the reason for his resignation is normal procedure. I understand.¡± Luo Feng continued, ¡°I have another question. You saw the conditions of our company. With your knowledge, you shouldn¡¯t be interested. Why didn¡¯t you turn around and leave?¡± Previously, they had encountered a few of them walking over with smiles on their faces. They turned around and left before they entered. Even though Luo Feng did not see their resumes, with his many years of judgment, their conditions were definitely not comparable to Song Anrong¡¯s. Song Anrong glanced at their faces and took a deep breath. ¡°Because of money.¡± At this point, there was no need to hide anything. Song Anrong said in one breath, ¡°In order to treat my mother, I spent all my family¡¯s savings. I even borrowed a lot of money from my relatives. Even though she¡¯s no longer in danger, I can¡¯t leave the bed. I need money for subsequent treatment, rehabilitation training, and nutrition. I¡¯ve almost spent all the money I borrowed. I had no choice but to come out and earn money. Without me to take care of her, hiring a nanny would be another expense¡­¡± The more Song Anrong spoke, the sadder she became. She covered her face and sighed helplessly. ¡°I applied to many companies before I came here. They were also more satisfied with me, but as soon as they heard my expected salary, they said they still needed to consider it.¡± Song Anrong regretted it immediately. At the mention of sad things, she could not help but tell the truth. The standard answer should be yearning for your company or praising the development prospects of milk tea. It was a taboo to communicate shallowly in the workplace. Song Anrong was extremely nervous. Or rather, she had been very nervous since she entered, afraid that Luo Feng and the others would be like the previous company and despise her for asking for too much. Actually, it was not impossible to discuss. Luo Feng looked at Song Anrong¡¯s blinking eyes with mixed feelings. In his previous life, he had also become poor because of his illness. At that time, his parents were long gone. Every time he saw that there was no one by his bed, he felt a little lucky. This was because he was the only one in pain. He did not have to watch his parents worry every day for him and money. Those in the same ward as him were about the same level of illness. He could often see them secretly wiping their tears. They were helpless and soaked in their misery all day long. Just looking at them made others feel sorry. Even though it was not appropriate to say this, he was a little envious of Song Anrong. This was because her mother¡¯s illness was improving. She also had a skill that could continue to earn money. Her relatives who could rely on each other could still be together. She would not be helpless and have nothing. Luo Feng felt that he was a little pessimistic, but it did not stop him from hoping that this happiness would continue. He stood up and extended his hand. ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve been hired.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Song Anrong was still a little stunned and shook Luo Feng¡¯s hand gently. Was she accepted just like that? Aren¡¯t they going to negotiate about salary again? After Luo Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Ai Tingya beside him. She was also very happy for Song Anrong and hurriedly stood up to welcome her. This silly girl, who was fussy about the rental of the venue, did not object to the higher budget salary at all. Instead, she nodded repeatedly at the side and had already found the employment application form for Song Anrong. He could not help but touch Ai Tingya¡¯s hair, but she slapped it away. ¡°The new employee is in front of us! Be serious!¡± Ai Tingya warned softly. ¡°What if people think that we¡¯re an indecent company and run away?¡± Luo Feng laughed and humbly accepted Ai Tingya¡¯s opinion. ¡°The General Manager is right.¡± Song Anrong handed back the written application form. Her mind was still a little confused. However, when she thought about how she had found a high-paying job, her tired face revealed its first smile after entering the door. Chapter 138 - 138 The General Managers Needs Are The First Priority Of The Company! 138 The General Manager¡¯s Needs Are The First Priority Of The Company! Song Anrong quickly calmed down. After clearly recognizing her situation, she was filled with gratitude towards Luo Feng. How could she not know that her high salary was mixed in with the help of her boss? She might not be worthy of such a high salary now, but she would definitely be able to in the future! Song Anrong silently cheered herself on. She had to work hard to repay her boss! So what if there were fewer people? She was in charge of recruiting people for the company. She had to make the company lively. From today onwards, Song Anrong would treat the company as her second home! Luo Feng said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve joined our company, there¡¯s something I need you to do immediately.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Song Anrong clenched her fists. She did not expect it to be time for her to show off so quickly. She gathered her passion. ¡°Boss, tell me!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s choose the food first.¡± Luo Feng handed over the menu of the Quick Fire Shop downstairs. He had asked for it when he went upstairs in the morning. He smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re not too familiar with the surrounding environment. Let¡¯s make do with it today, hahaha.¡± ¡°¡­Oh¡­¡± Song Anrong took the menu awkwardly. Why did she feel that it was a little weird just now? After the four of them chose lunch, Luo Feng called downstairs to order food. Only then did the four of them officially introduce themselves. To Song Anrong¡¯s surprise, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were even younger than she thought. The company only had the Chairman and the General Manager at the moment, and the situation was very serious. ¡°You¡¯ve seen the situation in our company. In the future, we¡¯ll be colleagues working together. I won¡¯t waste my breath. Sister Song, your mission is very important!¡± Luo Feng said seriously. ¡°I need you to come up with a department structure plan as soon as possible and calculate all the positions our company needs.¡± Song Anrong finally felt like she was working. ¡°Then Boss, what¡¯s the budget for this?¡± Luo Feng waved his hand. ¡°There¡¯s no upper limit! As long as you think it¡¯s a suitable position and salary conditions, write them all down.¡± It was indeed not convincing given the company¡¯s current situation. Luo Feng acutely sensed that when Song Anrong heard his and Ai Tingya¡¯s ages, her eyes revealed the intention to retreat. Therefore, he simply gave her a calming pill so that she could stay in the company in peace. Song Anrong¡¯s eyes almost popped out when she heard the words ¡°no upper limit¡±. She had never met such a domineering boss who gave her very high authority. ¡°Take care of the recruitment. I only have one request. We¡¯re a company that looks at the future and will change the industry! We must have considerable ambition and courage, understand?¡± Luo Feng added. ¡°Understood!¡± Song Anrong¡¯s heart trembled, and her blood boiled again. So the company was so great! She asked Ai Tingya for a pen and paper and prepared to write down the basic positions. Luo Feng looked at this primitive office method and felt that he should buy a batch of computers for the company first. ¡°By the way, Boss.¡± Song Anrong interrupted Luo Feng¡¯s train of thought and said, ¡°What¡¯s the most important position in our company? I¡¯ll prioritize it.¡± Luo Feng supported his chin and said seriously, ¡°Yes¡­ What I need the most is the General Manager¡¯s Assistant!¡± ¡°General Manager¡¯s Assistant?¡± Song Anrong tried to understand the importance of this position. She felt that her boss must have a deeper meaning behind his words! She felt that Luo Feng was a very deep person. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Luo Feng said seriously. ¡°In order for the company to continue operating, our General Manager can¡¯t be too tired.¡± ¡°Puff!¡± Ai Tingya spat it out before Song Anrong could react. We were trying to show others that we were a serious company. Why did Luo Feng¡¯s old problem appear again! However, outside, Ai Tingya always paid attention not to embarrass Luo Feng and give him the dignity he deserved as a boss. ¡°I choked on the water. Continue.¡± Ai Tingya took the tissue from Xiao Fei and turned her blushing face away. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that they were a couple. Song Anrong was tired but not blind. For a moment, she did not know what expression to make. She was ambitious and prepared to go all out, but her boss was a romantic and kept thinking about his girlfriend. Why was the atmosphere in this company so strange? Song Anrong looked at Xiao Fei, wanting to find out more from her face. The young Xiao Fei was very experienced at this moment. She smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ll get used to it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Song Anrong finally understood this time. So this was the company¡¯s culture! Her boiling blood instantly cooled down. Finding an assistant for the General Manager was her job, but she had a feeling¡ªthis mission was abnormally difficult! ¡°Do you have any other position requirements?¡± Song Anrong wanted to complete other important work first. Moreover, judging from the General Manager¡¯s expression, he shouldn¡¯t be in a hurry. Luo Feng said matter-of-factly, ¡°This is the most important thing. Complete this first. My only request is that she be a woman!¡± This was not a request! Song Anrong was tired. She was just an emotionless writing machine now, recording Luo Feng¡¯s request on paper. Could he really conquer the world with a love-brained boss? What if he played with the Lords on a whim? In just two hours, Song Anrong seemed to be on a roller coaster, her mood fluctuating. Should he go against his conscience and take the money to escape? After Luo Feng arranged his first work in the company, he felt very satisfied. He crossed his arms and waited for lunch in peace. He did not mean to show off his love. It was really because Ai Tingya had to take care of the company and her studies. She would definitely not be able to withstand it. She was not like Luo Feng, who had eaten cheat pills. Learning knowledge was as easy as eating and sleeping to him. Ai Tingya was also extremely serious after entering the school. She often returned to her dormitory to study after dealing with the milk tea shop. She used her time to the extreme, so much so that Luo Feng could only see Ai Tingya in the milk tea shop most of the time. In high school, his teacher had said that it would be easy for them to play and do whatever they wanted when they entered university. Luo Feng had long known that this was a big deal. Whoever believed him would be a fool. What she had learned during her university days was true knowledge of settling down. She should be even more serious than when she was in high school. Ai Tingya felt the same way and took out a more serious effort to learn than when she was in high school. Originally, she, who was outstanding in the college entrance examination, was very confident in taking care of her studies and work. However, the students who could go to Oxford were all outstanding. The surrounding environment had changed greatly compared to high school. Sometimes, Ai Tingya felt powerless when learning. She could only squeeze out her rest time to learn. When Luo Feng saw the dark circles under her eyes, he was really worried that Ai Tingya would not be able to take it. Therefore, it was imperative to hire assistants! As for why there was a Gender requirement? It must be because girls were more meticulous and could cooperate better with Ai Tingya. It was definitely not because Luo Feng was worried that someone would steal her away! ¡°This is your first job. Work hard!¡± Luo Feng encouraged Song Anrong, only to receive a weak nod from her. Chapter 139 - 139 Ai Tingya Expresses That Having Luo Feng Is Enough 139 Ai Tingya Expresses That Having Luo Feng Is Enough Song Anrong was very capable. She came up with a perfect company structure plan the next morning. Luo Feng took a few glances and felt that it was practical. He asked her to start recruiting outsiders. It was unknown if Luo Feng did it on purpose or if it was really nothing. Ai Tingya felt that she had indeed relaxed a lot since Song Anrong joined the company. Even though she would still go to the shop to help occasionally, there was less work that she needed to do in the company. This also gave Ai Tingya more time to spend on her studies. In the Finance Department classroom. Ai Tingya listened to the professor¡¯s lecture attentively and took notes meticulously. During the break, she would also think about the company. Coincidentally, the professor had mentioned business management today. Ai Tingya compared the development of Ting Feng¡¯s company with knowledge in the books. She absorbed it especially quickly and gained a lot. Soon, the bell rang. This was the last class of the day. She could arrange the time in the afternoon herself. Ai Tingya wanted to ask Song Anrong how the recruitment was going. She picked up her books and prepared to leave. ¡°Tingya,¡± someone called out to her from behind. Ai Tingya was too deep in thought to hear him. She lowered her head and walked forward. ¡°¡­ Tingya,¡± the person called out again. Ai Tingya paused and looked around blankly, as if searching for the source of the sound. ¡°Tingya!¡± Her roommate, Barbara, was completely speechless. She grabbed Ai Tingya and said, ¡°You¡¯re so absent-minded. What would you do if you¡¯re kidnapped?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Ai Tingya scratched her head. ¡°Barbara, did you call out to me?¡± Barbara sighed helplessly. If someone unfamiliar with Ai Tingya encountered such a situation, they would definitely think that she was rude. However, Barbara and Ai Tingya had been together day and night and knew that she was just too engrossed in her thoughts. ¡°Aiya, you¡¯ll age quickly if you keep worrying like this!¡± Barbara didn¡¯t know why Ai Tingya had so many things on her mind. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was being obsessive again,¡± Ai Tingya apologized. She also felt that she was very bad. She had no choice. Once she thought about something, all her body and mind were on it. It was very easy for her to ignore the people or matters around her. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine.¡± Barbara was already used to it and naturally knew that Ai Tingya didn¡¯t do it on purpose. ¡°Are you preparing to go to the milk tea shop again? There¡¯s a gathering in class today. Come along.¡± ¡°A gathering¡­ I don¡¯t need to¡­¡± Ai Tingya felt that company matters were more important. As long as she could participate in a gathering at school at any time, there would be many of these. Barbara narrowed her eyes and looked at Ai Tingya for a while before saying, ¡°Are you thinking that you can participate next time? Aiya, you definitely can¡¯t keep pushing back the next time. Do you remember that you haven¡¯t participated in any class gatherings or activities since you enrolled?¡± ¡°No way!¡± Ai Tingya only remembered pushing a few times. ¡°Did I?¡± Barbara was simply stunned by this. ¡°That¡¯s right! You haven¡¯t been here even once. Do you know what everyone in class is saying about you? They¡¯re saying that you¡¯re a flower from a high mountain and rely on your talent.¡± ¡°Are they saying that I don¡¯t fit in¡­¡± Ai Tingya said sadly. She actually didn¡¯t mean that. However, her studies and company matters had long occupied her time. Even so, she still felt that there was not enough time. She wished she had 25 hours a day so that she could have an extra hour to study. Luo Feng always said that Ai Tingya was improving rapidly. Little did he know that other than eating and walking, she spent the rest of her time studying. Ai Tingya spent most of her time studying even when she went to Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s place. Sometimes, Ai Tingya felt that she had let Ai Zhaojiang down. After all, her grandfather wanted to chat more and understand her granddaughter¡¯s learning life. Ai Zhaojiang felt very happy just listening to it. However, Ai Tingya could not squeeze out any time to chat with Ai Zhaojiang. He specialized in philosophy, while she was into finance. They really had nothing in common. Fortunately, Ai Zhaojiang also liked to read and did not fuss about this. The two of them sat in the courtyard together for the entire day. Ai Tingya really used all the time she could use to not leave any space for the gathering. ¡°That¡¯s right. Many of the male students in the class seem to want to ask you out. Every time the few of us go, we have to answer an award-less question like ¡®Where is Student Ai Tingya going?''¡± Barbara smiled as she spoke. ¡°Only you, the person involved, don¡¯t know anything.¡± Seeing that Ai Tingya was silent, she continued, ¡°Let¡¯s go and have a meal together. It won¡¯t take long.¡± Barbara had actually omitted many unpleasant words. In the beginning, her classmates only said that Ai Tingya did not fit in very well. Later on, when Ai Tingya became famous on the forum and still interacted less with her classmates, some people felt that Ai Tingya was very pretentious. They felt that Ai Tingya must be looking down on her classmates and only gave time to people who were useful to her. Barbara felt very angry when she heard these slanders. She was in the same dormitory as Ai Tingya, so she knew better than anyone how hard Ai Tingya worked to study. Sometimes, the other three would be asleep while Ai Tingya was still studying. She squatted in the toilet in order to avoid disturbing the others. There were a few times when Barbara woke up in the middle of the night and saw Ai Tingya fighting at night. Seeing this scene, even people who felt that studying was useless would be conquered by Ai Tingya¡¯s hard work. Those students who did not know the inside story knew to make wild guesses. The reason why Barbara wanted Ai Tingya to participate once was to slap those people¡¯s faces ruthlessly. She wanted them to know that not only was Tingya good at her studies, but she was also gentle and kind. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll pay for dinner tonight.¡± Barbara pestered Ai Tingya and shook her hand. Ai Tingya thought for a moment and smiled apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Barbara, but I still won¡¯t go. I really can¡¯t spare the time.¡± ¡°Sigh, even my charm can¡¯t conquer you?¡± Barbara smiled helplessly. ¡°Alright, alright. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to go, but you might become more and more insignificant in class.¡± She was not exaggerating. She was just telling the truth. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t I still have you guys?¡± Ai Tingya was not afraid of being lonely. Moreover, she felt that her three roommates were very good people. At this point, she blushed and whispered, ¡°Furthermore, I think it¡¯s enough if that person likes me.¡± Barbara stretched her ears and heard it clearly. She rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s your Luo Feng, right? You really love him deeply.¡± ¡°No, he¡¯s really good.¡± ¡°I know, I know,¡± Barbara said. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll forget about it this time. You must definitely make time for our dormitory gathering next time. Otherwise, I¡¯ll complain to your Luo Feng that you stay up late often!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Ai Tingya immediately cowered. Seeing her cute appearance, Barbara pinched her face, packed her things, and left the classroom. Chapter 140 - 140 Poverty Allowance? Teacher, Youve Found The Wrong Person 140 Poverty Allowance? Teacher, You¡¯ve Found The Wrong Person The two of them were about to leave the classroom together when they bumped into the energetic counselor. ¡°That¡¯s great. Ai Tingya, you haven¡¯t left yet. Come with me to the office,¡± the counselor said as she held her eyes. The counselor of Ai Tingya¡¯s class was called Zhu Qiao. She was a second-year graduate student and was only a few years older than the students in her class. They rarely saw Zhu Qiao because she was busy with her postgraduate studies. Ai Tingya did not know why she took the initiative to look for her today. Ai Tingya waved at Barbara and followed Zhu Qiao into the office. Zhu Qiao was also mentally and physically exhausted by the graduate course. She rummaged through her desk in a daze. As she searched, she was puzzled. ¡°Strange? Why is it gone? I remember putting it here.¡± ¡°Teacher Zhu, what are you looking for?¡± Ai Tingya asked. Zhu Qiao was also thinking about something and could not hear the surrounding voices. She did not answer Ai Tingya. Instead, she rummaged under the table and carried out all the thick stacks of information below. ¡°Where is it?¡± Zhu Qiao held her falling glasses, looking flustered. Ai Tingya did not know what she was looking for and could not help. After waiting for a full 10 minutes, Zhu Qiao finally stopped. It was not that she had found what she was looking for, but that she was tired. She was still scratching her head as she lay on the chair and muttered to herself, ¡°Where did it go? I remember putting it in the drawer.¡± Seeing that she could finally talk to her, Ai Tingya hurriedly asked, ¡°Teacher Zhu, what are you looking for?¡± Only then did Zhu Qiao remember that Ai Tingya had been waiting for her for a long time. She moved a stool to her and said, ¡°I¡¯m looking for the student subsidy application form.¡± ¡°I should have given this to you when you entered the school, but I was too busy and only remembered it today. The school gives subsidies to outstanding students. With your results, it won¡¯t be a problem for you to get a slot.¡± She explained. Ai Tingya had heard that the school subsidy for poor students was 5,000 yuan a year. For some families, 5,000 yuan was enough for half a year¡¯s living expenses. In the past, Ai Tingya might have been tempted, but it was different now. ¡°Thank you, Teacher Zhu, but I don¡¯t need it,¡± Ai Tingya refused. Zhu Qiao was not too surprised. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You don¡¯t need to have any other thoughts. This teacher will keep it a secret for you. Only the two of us know.¡± She had students in the past and knew that children from poor families had stronger self-esteem. Zhu Qiao admired people with self-esteem and wanted to help them even more. Especially Ai Tingya. Even though Zhu Qiao was always busy with her classes in the laboratory, she had also paid attention to the performance of her classmates. Ai Tingya studied hard and kept a low profile. The teachers of the other classes also evaluated her very highly. Ai Tingya shook her head and said seriously, ¡°Teacher, I really don¡¯t need it. Leave it to someone who needs it more.¡± Zhu Qiao did not understand why Ai Tingya was so insistent. Ai Tingya had always kept a low profile. She had never told anyone about the milk tea shop and company. However, she might not be able to leave if she didn¡¯t tell her today. She said, ¡°Teacher Zhu, do you know about the Good Me Milk Tea Shop in the commercial street ahead?¡± Teacher Zhu was only in her twenties and was at the age where she liked milk tea. He nodded and said, ¡°I know. That business is not bad. I remember that you seem to work there.¡± Ai Tingya nodded and said, ¡°Actually, I have shares in the milk tea shop. I¡­ am not lacking in money.¡± ¡°No way?¡± Zhu Qiao¡¯s eyes widened. How many people in today¡¯s society could stand up straight and say that they were not short of money? Moreover, she had seen Ai Tingya¡¯s information and knew that she had grown up in an orphanage. She knew how expensive the rent on the commercial street was. How could a lonely girl with no one to rely on have the money to open a shop? Seeing that Zhu Qiao did not believe her, Ai Tingya took out her phone and scrolled through messages about her deposits. ¡°Teacher, please take a look. I¡¯m really not short of money.¡± She was the General Manager of the company. The monthly income of the three milk tea shops would be transferred to Ai Tingya¡¯s account. Zhu Qiao¡¯s eyes almost popped out when she saw a few zeros following the number. His monthly salary was only about 4,000 yuan, and she had to deduct all kinds of insurance from it. Wasn¡¯t she working hard in the laboratory every day just to earn more money in the future? Zhu Qiao was stunned for a few seconds before continuing to look for the application form. However, this time, it was not for Ai Tingya. She felt that she might need the poverty allowance even more. Ai Tingya did not know what kind of roller coaster her teacher had been through. She hurriedly said, ¡°Um, let me help you find it.¡± Zhu Qiao held her glasses and looked into Ai Tingya¡¯s sincere eyes. She felt that the more she looked at this girl, the more beautiful she became. Not only was she good-looking, she was also good at learning and at earning money. She suddenly had an idea and stood up. ¡°I remember now. You can apply for this!¡± Zhu Qiao took out a dusty folder and took out the Student Entrepreneurship Support Registration Form. This form was a form of encouragement for students to start a business. In particular, the Finance Department¡¯s economics and management department, which was mainly aimed at nurturing economic talent, supported entrepreneurial students even more. After the application was approved, the student could apply to the school for financial support. If there was a need, they could also apply to the school for an office location or the school to help find a partner. As long as the project was good enough, the seniors who graduated were willing to participate. For a big entrepreneur, the school might not be very supportive, but being able to get to know the seniors who had already succeeded and help each generation was also a benefit of higher education. Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the application form. They really needed this! If they could get someone to join the franchise milk tea shop or contact their connections, it would also be very beneficial to their reputation here in the future. Ai Tingya took the application form and said, ¡°Thank you, Teacher. I¡¯ll definitely work hard.¡± Zhu Qiao smiled knowingly and said, ¡°Take this form back and fill it in. If you have anything you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me. But I don¡¯t know if you are able to get it. Be mentally prepared.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Ai Tingya nodded vigorously. She was already very happy to have an application form. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely gain something. Zhu Qiao could not help but smile when she saw how happy Ai Tingya was. Even though she had suffered a small shock just now, she still thought highly of Ai Tingya. Who wouldn¡¯t like an obedient and beautiful young lady after all? Knock, knock. Knock, knock. At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. A boy stood at the door. ¡°May I ask if Teacher Zhu is here?¡± ¡°Here!¡± Zhu Qiao recognized that the boy was Xie Yan, who was in the same class as Ai Tingya. He was also a hardworking student. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Xie Yan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Zhu Qiao. He hurriedly ran in and said, ¡°Teacher Zhu, does our school have a student entrepreneurship support plan? I want to apply.¡± Zhu Qiao blurted out, ¡°You¡¯re starting a business too?¡± These words were strange. What did she mean by ¡°too¡±? Xie Yan quickly noticed that Ai Tingya was holding a support application form. Chapter 141 - 141 There Is Only One Spot, Up For Competition! 141 There Is Only One Spot, Up For Competition! Xie Yan was a local. His family¡¯s business was quite big, and he was also one of the top students in his class. However, he did not have the bad temper of a rich second-generation heir. He worked hard to be humble and got along well with his classmates. Zhu Qiao had a good impression of him, but she did not expect him to also be starting a business. Xie Yan noticed the application form in Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and could not bring himself to say it. Ai Tingya kept a low profile. Xie Yan did not interact much with her. They might have only exchanged a few words or not. However, Ai Tingya was really beautiful. Sometimes, Xie Yan would sneak a few glances at her in class. It was purely admiration. Xie Yan was surprised that he would become competitors with Ai Tingya one day. The atmosphere between the three of them instantly became awkward. Zhu Qiao coughed to break the awkwardness and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll get you another one. Fill it in when you get back. If you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me directly.¡± They were all students in her class, so of course she wanted to be impartial and take an impartial approach. Fortunately, she printed two copies and Zhu Qiao immediately gave one to Xie Yan. Xie Yan, who had obtained the form, was not very happy. He glanced at Ai Tingya and realized that she was also looking at him. The two of them knew very well that while there could be many application forms, there could only be one slot. As there were too many faculties in the school, it was impossible for them to accept all of them. There was an entrepreneurial project review mechanism. After a competition, they would choose the projects with the most prospects for development and support them. For the sake of fairness, there was only one slot in each class. Xie Yan had been looking for Zhu Qiao for a long time in order to obtain the application form. He could miss her perfectly every time. It was not easy for him to finally get to her, but he realized that another student had beaten him to it. The two of them had already realized the current situation. The sparks of competition had already exploded in their ears. Even though it was a little awkward for the two of them to collide, to Zhu Qiao, competition promoted motivation. If she could choose the most advantageous person to support, she could also benefit from the school¡¯s evaluation. She guided the two of them together. ¡°The direction of entrepreneurship, the current valuation scale, and future development goals. These three would be the deciding factors. You must write them down clearly.¡± Zhu Qiao knew that Ai Tingya owned a milk tea shop, so she asked Xie Yan, ¡°Xie Yan, what¡¯s your entrepreneurial direction?¡± ¡°Well¡­ It¡¯s software development. I¡¯m currently working on a webpage that can be used to shop online. I¡¯m testing it.¡± Xie Yan could not hide the pride in his tone when he talked about his project. He was not born a rich second-generation heir. When he was young, his parents often left Xie Yan at his grandparents¡¯ house when it was the most difficult for them to start a business. Other than giving him living expenses, they basically did not appear in front of him. However, under his grandparents¡¯ education, not only did Xie Yan not hate his parents, he even learned from their motivation to start a business. He wanted to make a name for himself ever since he was in high school. Therefore, he studied hard and got into Oxford University. After he entered university, he immediately implemented it. Zhu Qiao saw the hot-blooded flames in his eyes and smiled in admiration. After Xie Yan spoke, he remembered that he still did not know what Ai Tingya was up to. He took the initiative to ask, ¡°Student Ai Tingya, what about you?¡± Ai Tingya, who was suddenly asked, said dejectedly, ¡°I¡­ I own a milk tea shop.¡± Originally, she felt that her business was doing well, but after hearing about Xie Yan¡¯s high-end shopping website, Ai Tingya¡¯s confidence decreased by half. It was not that she felt that the physical economy was not good. Instead, Luo Feng had also said that online shopping would become the norm in the future when they chatted about the future development of the Internet in the past. In Ai Tingya¡¯s opinion, Xie Yan¡¯s unique foresight was almost comparable to Luo Feng¡¯s. Ai Tingya felt that she might not be able to compete with Xie Xie since she was a head shorter than him from the beginning. Xie Yan¡¯s confidence immediately doubled seeing that her aura had weakened even before the battle began. He felt that he would definitely win this wave! He tried his best not to smile and maintain his current gentlemanly demeanor. Zhu Qiao did not think there was any difference. There were so many professions, and every profession produced a top scholar. As long as one could sit at the top of any industry, they would be an insufferably successful person. She said, ¡°Alright, you can write it down after confirming it. Then, we can calculate the current scale of development, profits, and valuation.¡± The investment still looked at the prospects of development. The school would definitely choose a potential stock to support. The current profitability of the two projects was also one of the evaluation conditions. ¡°Our company already has more than a dozen employees. As for the profit¡­¡± Xie Yan paused for a moment. ¡°It¡¯s not profitable for the time being, but we already have many users. Teacher Zhu, you know that the website operation is mainly an investment. It will only start to make a profit in the middle and later stages.¡± This was also why Xie Yan was in a hurry to apply for support from the school. He had already invested all the money he had saved for the past ten years and needed additional investments. Xie Yan¡¯s parents were very supportive of his entrepreneurship and were willing to invest in his son. Xie Yan¡¯s father had expressed that he was not worried about losing money, it was good to be able to gain experience. However, he was rejected by Xie Yan. He was a rich second-generation heir, but he did not want to rely on his family. If he wanted to start with his own ability like his parents, he naturally had to pull in investments himself. ¡°Our company¡­¡± Ai Tingya stared at the ceiling and calculated the number of employees. ¡°In the past few days, the number of employees should have increased to about 100, maybe a little more.¡± There were already 20 to 30 employees at the school milk tea shop alone. They were all nurtured in advance and prepared to invest in the branch. In addition, Song Anrong had been hiring employees for the company for the past two days. According to Luo Feng¡¯s expectations, he would recruit 30 to 50 people as the main force of the company. As for the milk tea shops on both sides of Crown City and Nanlin, they handed them to Lu Zhao. They did not ask about the number of employees. There should be more than 10 of them in total. Not to mention that there was a food factory that had been silently supporting the development of the milk tea shop. Ai Tingya thought that she should record it down when she got back. Otherwise, as the General Manager, she would definitely be laughed at if word got out that she didn¡¯t even know how many people were in her company. ¡°In terms of the company¡¯s profits, it should have been a little more than a million yuan last month. We did two promotional events and the income is higher than usual,¡± Ai Tingya said. Ever since the pilot of the couple event in the shop was successful, the other two milk tea shops had also carried out similar activities with very good profits. They could hear the smile in Lu Zhao¡¯s voice when she called. Therefore, her dividends this month were so high that it shocked Zhu Qiao. Xie Yan sweated profusely. Why did he feel that it was a little different from what he had imagined? Milk tea seemed to be making more money than he had imagined. However, he still stabilized his mentality. His online business was different from a physical business after all. In the later stages, he would really make a lot of money! He secretly clenched his fists and encouraged himself not to panic! Chapter 142 - 142 Admit Defeat And Lost Conviction 142 Admit Defeat And Lost Conviction Zhu Qiao continued to ask, ¡°Then what¡¯s your valuation?¡± Xie Yan was not at a disadvantage and answered quickly, ¡°My company¡¯s valuation has already exceeded a million yuan!¡± He had invested more than a million yuan in the early stages alone and now had stable users. Moreover, Xie Yan¡¯s father said that he was very willing to take over his company for a million yuan. Ai Tingya licked her lips, looking a little uneasy. She silently extended a finger. Zhu Qiao asked curiously, ¡°Is it also a million yuan?¡± A milk tea shop with more than a hundred employees and a profit of more than a million yuan should be worth a higher valuation. This child seemed to be lacking in terms of accounting knowledge. Ai Tingya shook her head and said, ¡°The valuation of the three milk tea shops should exceed 10 million yuan.¡± Zhu Qiao felt that this was right. Ai Tingya was not done yet. ¡°In addition, the company has a dormitory building worth 100 million yuan and a food factory. Hmm¡­ I forgot how much we bought it for. Can I fill it in when I get back?¡± Zhu Qiao and Xie Yan shivered at the same time. They had so many assets that she could not remember them clearly! However, Ai Tingya felt very ashamed. She cut off all unnecessary social activities and focused on her studies and work. Now that she thought about it carefully, her current success depended solely on Luo Feng. She had worked hard for so long, but she was still not enough for Luo Feng to move his fingers. Ai Tingya felt a sense of guilt. Luo Feng and her were inseparable, but would she be suspected of suppressing the situation if she included the dormitory building when filling out the application form? Xie Yan was so shocked that he could not speak when he saw her guilty expression. He felt that his mentality had collapsed. What was the point of competing in this current situation! Speaking of which¡­ Ai Tingya, why do you still look so ashamed? Are you helping me feel ashamed? Do you have to be so considerate? He looked at the application form in his hand with a complicated expression. It was a foregone conclusion even though he was unwilling to give up. Xie Yan said, ¡°Teacher Zhu, I don¡¯t want to apply for it anymore.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhu Qiao expressed that she understood Xie Yan¡¯s feelings very well, but she looked up at his disappointed expression. She felt that as a teacher, she needed to encourage frustrated students. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be discouraged. Your project is also very advantageous.¡± Xie Yan¡¯s expression improved slightly. If he had not encountered a money-making monster like Ai Tingya, he would indeed have an advantage. ¡°I know. At that time, I saw that there was a lot of potential in this aspect and room for development, so I chose to make a shopping website.¡± Xie Yan knew himself very well. Zhu Qiao agreed with Xie Yan. The only drawback was that there was a lot of investment required in the early stages of the website development. It might be a little difficult for a student. Xie Yan was not a sore loser. Moreover, he felt that losing to Ai Tingya, who had hundreds of millions yuan in assets, was not a loss. It was just like Xie Yan to learn from failure. He looked at Zhu Qiao with a burning gaze and said solemnly, ¡°Teacher Zhu, tell the truth. If not for Ai Tingya this time, would I be able to apply for the support successfully?¡± Zhu Qiao thought for a moment, her expression becoming more and more conflicted. Actually, she could not say for sure. From her perspective, Xie Yan¡¯s project was a little obvious, and its flaws were also obvious. Other than the high investment in the early stages and the long return cycle, there was also the preference of the approval leader. They were in the Finance Faculty, not the Computer Science Faculty after all. The leaders were more willing to support a milk tea shop like Ai Tingya that had already formed a scale and was making a stable profit. The business advantage was even more obvious. Zhu Qiao only smiled. ¡°I have a computer science teacher I have a good relationship with. I¡¯ll help you ask if there¡¯s any similar support there tomorrow.¡± ¡°Thank you, Teacher.¡± Even though Xie Yan did not have much hope, he was still very grateful to Zhu Qiao. After receiving encouragement from his teacher, there was one more thing that bothered Xie Yan. What exactly did Ai Tingya rely on to make a name for herself? Moreover, what kind of business could allow her to take down a factory in a short period of time and expand quickly? She could even own a dormitory building worth hundreds of millions. This experience was a gain. Xie Yan shamelessly asked humbly, ¡°Ai Tingya, can I ask you something?¡± Ai Tingya had thought that he would be unhappy, but she did not expect Xie Yan to be so humble. She thought highly of him and nodded. ¡°Tell me.¡± Xie Yan felt that there was a chance. If he could successfully learn it, he might as well open another sideline and earn some money to subsidize the website. Perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have to wait for support. ¡°I want to know how you made the milk tea shop so successful?¡± When Ai Tingya heard this, she suddenly frowned and blinked with a strange expression. She had no intention of hiding anything. She just felt that there was no point in saying her method. ¡°If you want to hear it, I¡¯ll tell you. At first, it was because our family was in a more difficult situation and needed to open a small shop for emergencies. Luo Feng¡­ is my boyfriend. He invested 600,000 yuan to open a milk tea shop. Then, our first milk tea shop opened at the entrance of the high school.¡± Xie Yan¡¯s eyes widened and he tilted his ear, afraid that he would miss a word. Zhu Qiao also secretly pricked up her ears. Her little counselor salary could only maintain her food and clothing. Many teachers were doing side jobs, so she had to do them too. Ai Tingya counted with her fingers and recalled. ¡°The first one did very well because of Luo Feng¡¯s status as the top scholar of the college entrance examination. The profits were very smooth. Then, he took out another 800,000 yuan and we opened another one in the city.¡± ¡°Oh, right. Luo Feng spent money to buy a food factory because he wanted to ensure the food safety of the raw materials.¡± ¡°The milk tea shop in the city was also very popular, but we had to leave home to go to university, so we found the store manager to take care of it. After coming to university, we realized that the geographical location here was very good. He took out another three million yuan and opened a third milk tea shop.¡± ¡°Luo Feng felt that he should increase the treatment of his employees because of the expansion needs. He took out another 100 million yuan to buy a dormitory building¡­¡± Ai Tingya could be said to be very honest and told him all the key points. Xie Yan listened very seriously and even wanted to take his notes. However, after hearing it, the thing that left the deepest impression on him was ¡°Luo Feng paid¡±. He instantly understood Ai Tingya¡¯s secret to success. ¡°So¡­ you rely on your boyfriend to get money wherever you go?!¡± Ai Tingya smiled in embarrassment. ¡°More or less.¡± What she said was true. The reason why she could grow so quickly was to adapt to Luo Feng¡¯s fast pace of opening the shop. Instead of saying that Ai Tingya was improving at lightning speed, it was more accurate to say that she was being pushed forward by Luo Feng. Or rather, she was pushed forward by Luo Feng¡¯s money. The corners of Xie Yan¡¯s mouth twitched. F*ck, how could he learn from this experience! Learn from Ai Tingya and find a rich boy¡­ No, girlfriend? Thinking of this, Xie Yan could not help but fall into deep thought. With Luo Feng¡¯s wealth, there was no need to start a small business like a milk tea shop. The reason why he paid to open the shop was completely because he was in love with Ai Tingya! How many people in the world could do it without caring about gains and losses, not to mention whether or not he could find such a rich boyfriend? Chapter 143 - 143 Luo Feng, Dont Tell Me You Like Him? 143 Luo Feng, Don¡¯t Tell Me You Like Him? Xie Yan felt that Ai Tingya¡¯s boyfriend had almost given her as much as her biological parents. He had once thought of asking his family for help when he was at his wits¡¯ end. However, with his father¡¯s worry, it was very likely that he would ask him to transfer the company he had founded to the family company. It was like a master buying dog food for a pet dog and occasionally giving it some treats. It was true that he would be able to resolve the difficulties, but it would also be true that he would suffer humiliation. Xie Yan¡¯s entrepreneurship was just a small business in his parents¡¯ eyes. This made him even more determined to succeed independently. Unfortunately, his entrepreneurship had collapsed halfway. Zhu Qiao, who was listening to her experience, was also confused and felt that it was unreal. She thought about how she was a single dog in her thirties and had never even touched a man¡¯s hand in order to study. Her student¡¯s boyfriend was already helping her start a business. Where could she find such a good boyfriend? She wanted to find one too. Zhu Qiao looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s innocent face and really wanted to ask her about boyfriend skills. She might need this more than earning money! ¡°Alright, the two of you can leave first.¡± Zhu Qiao felt that she needed to take her time or contact her family to arrange a blind date. Ai Tingya thanked her and left the office together. The two of them walked downstairs and saw Luo Feng waiting not far away. Luo Feng¡¯s class ended relatively early today. He estimated the time that Ai Tingya¡¯s class would end, so he waited for her under the female dormitory building in advance. He did not expect to see Barbara, Ai Tingya¡¯s roommate, after waiting for a long time. Barbara told Luo Feng that the counselor had called Ai Tingya away. Luo Feng did not go upstairs and waited downstairs, thinking that there might be something important. Luo Feng smiled when he saw Ai Tingya walk out of the staircase. At this moment, he noticed the boy beside Ai Tingya. Luo Feng could see the development potential of others ever since he was reborn. Ai Tingya¡¯s potential was endless and was already the top existence Luo Feng had ever seen. Therefore, this ability had not been used for a long time. Luo Feng had never thought of investing in anything else even though there was no lack of potential in a place like Oxford University. However, the boy beside Ai Tingya was different. There were two numbers above his head! The number in the front showed 95%. It should be the boy¡¯s own. The other number at the back showed 100%. In other words, the power behind the boy was higher than his own development potential. When the two were added together, his potential would be unlimited! Luo Feng saw the entrepreneurship support application form in Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. The two of them came out of the office at the same time. The boy must be here to ask about entrepreneurship support. There must be an entrepreneurial team behind him! However, it seemed that the entrepreneurial team centered on the boy. Otherwise, he would not have been the one to apply for entrepreneurship support from the teacher. They chose someone with lower potential as the leader. This meant that the entrepreneurial team¡¯s skills were passable, but their foresight was slightly poor. As a result, his potential was slightly lower than Ai Tingya¡¯s. Luo Feng analyzed in his heart and unknowingly stared at Xie Yan in a daze. His eyes seemed to be glued to Xie Yan, completely ignoring Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya was originally feeling very happy when she saw Luo Feng smiling at her. She was already preparing to say goodbye to Xie Yan. In the end, he saw Luo Feng begin to gaze deeply at Xie Yan beside him! That¡¯s right! In Ai Tingya¡¯s opinion, it was a deep gaze! She would never forget Luo Feng¡¯s fateful gaze. It was the way Luo Feng looked at her when he woke up from a dream in high school class in the past. From then on, their relationship became intimate. Alarm bells immediately rang in her heart! Xie Yan also realized that something was wrong with Luo Feng. In Luo Feng¡¯s eyes, he was thirsty for talents, but in Xie Yan¡¯s eyes¡­ Why did he feel as though Luo Feng¡¯s gaze was lusty? He was very flustered now. He only thought of looking for a boy¡­ no, a girlfriend like Luo Feng but this dream came true too suddenly! He did not dare to go over nor did not dare to look. Xie Yan was afraid that what he was thinking would really happen. He walked away from Ai Tingya and wanted this real girlfriend to be his shield. Luo Feng¡¯s gaze followed Xie Yan¡¯s movements and finally landed on Ai Tingya. He saw that her expression was even worse than stinky tofu and her pouting mouth was about to tilt to the corner of her chin. There was also a faint killing intent¡­ ¡°Why are you unhappy?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. What he did not know was that Ai Tingya had misunderstood the way he looked at Xie Yan! Ai Tingya¡¯s mind kept flashing back to the day of the milk tea shop couple event. A pair of boys had come up to kiss and Luo Feng had clapped and cheered for them. She did not know why she remembered what happened then. Could it be a premonition? Oh my god! Oh my god! Ai Tingya could not be blamed for thinking too much. Back then, Luo Feng only felt grateful to her and saw her only as an investment project. It was indeed not much different from looking at Xie Yan now. Ai Tingya had misunderstood for so long. ¡°Your classmate?¡± Luo Feng asked Ai Tingya with a smile. It was impossible for him to get close to Xie Yan the moment he appeared. He still needed Ai Tingya to introduce him. Before Ai Tingya could speak, Xie Yan had goosebumps. ¡°Um, I remembered that I have something on. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± After saying that, he slipped away. After a while, even his shadow disappeared. Luo Feng looked at Xie Yan¡¯s back and left without saying a word. He even said regretfully, ¡°Why do I feel that he¡¯s a little afraid of me? Is he your classmate or not?¡± Ai Tingya felt that her heart was about to break. She glared at Luo Feng. Ai Tingya was a little afraid, what more Xie Yan! Her good boyfriend might become someone else¡¯s! ¡°Hm? Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Luo Feng did not understand why Ai Tingya had a bad expression when she came out of the office. ¡°Did that classmate make you angry just now?¡± If there were conflicts, it would not be easy to work together in the future. Luo Feng felt that he should ask clearly. The twitch in Ai Tingya¡¯s mouth almost reached her ears! Every sentence was related to Xie Yan. Luo Feng was really interested in him! Moreover, he was blatantly asking about him. He was simply too arrogant! Have you considered my feelings? All kinds of melodramatic ethics dramas flashed through Ai Tingya¡¯s mind. Such injustice is actually done to me. ¡°We¡¯re just in the same class. We¡¯re not very familiar with each other.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s tone was stiff. ¡°He just applied for entrepreneurship support with me. His family seems to be quite well-off.¡± ¡°A rich second-generation heir. It¡¯s a little difficult to deal with.¡± Luo Feng was deep in thought, his tone carrying some regret. Being a rich second-generation heir meant that it would not be easy for him to spend money on him. He had to invest in something else. Luo Feng was determined to take this potential stock under his banner and revealed a confident smile. When Ai Tingya saw Luo Feng¡¯s smile, she felt that it was better to be blind. ¡°Hmph!¡± Ai Tingya angrily expressed her dissatisfaction and covered her face as she ran away. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng was completely ignorant of the situation. He scratched his head, not understanding why Ai Tingya was unhappy again. Chapter 144 - 144 Crisis, Does He Not Like Me Anymore? 144 Crisis, Does He Not Like Me Anymore? Ai Tingya returned to the dormitory in a daze and did not greet the others. She returned to her table and supported her chin with her hand. From time to time, she would look at her face in the mirror, feeling a little self-pitying. The other three roommates all attended the class gathering. Ai Tingya was the only one in the huge dormitory. This caused her to feel depressed. The more she thought about it, the more she could not figure it out. At seven in the evening, Barbara pushed open the door and entered with a takeaway box in her hand. She was a little surprised to see Ai Tingya in the dormitory. ¡°Tingya, you didn¡¯t go eat with Luo Feng? I thought you would come back later.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t go,¡± Ai Tingya said faintly. Barbara could tell that she was in a bad mood. She leaned over and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you quarrel?¡± Ai Tingya stared at a certain point in the air. She looked listless and shook her head gently, but her eyes became more and more glazed. ¡°Are you unwell?¡± Barbara asked. Ai Tingya shook her head. ¡°Did the Teacher lecture you?¡± Barbara asked. Ai Tingya shook her head. Anyone with eyes could tell that Ai Tingya had something on her mind. Barbara felt worried, so she picked up the phone and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll get Luo Feng to comfort you.¡± This was the only method she could think of. When Ai Tingya heard this, she suddenly came back to her senses. She jumped up, grabbed Barbara¡¯s hand, and asked, ¡°Why do you have Luo Feng¡¯s number?¡± In her impression, Luo Feng and her three roommates were acquaintances. They knew each other but were not familiar with each other. When did he exchange phone numbers behind her back? Could it be that not only did Luo Feng like boys, but he also cast a wide net? Ai Tingya felt that her worldview was cracking and was on the verge of collapse! ¡°You¡­ calm down first.¡± Barbara was shocked by her agility. She had never seen the quiet Ai Tingya like a tiger pouncing on its prey. Her aura just now seemed like she wanted to eat her up. Barbara explained, ¡°He asked for my number today. He said that he wanted to thank us for taking care of you. If you¡¯re feeling unwell, he hoped that we could inform him. I thought he was quite good, so I agreed.¡± After saying that, she pointed at the box of cakes on the table. There was the same piece on the other two¡¯s table. It was a thank-you gift from Luo Feng. ¡°Really?¡± Ai Tingya was in disbelief. The little happiness she had instantly turned into worry. Why did his eyes become hungry when he saw Xie Ya even though he was still thinking about her? Could it be that Xie Yan had some strange attraction? ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Barbara seemed to have figured out what Ai Tingya was upset about. ¡°Did Luo Feng bully you? Tell me!¡± Barbara¡¯s sense of justice instantly exploded, and she was about to stand up for Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya looked conflicted. She did not know what to say. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s talk when you want to. You definitely haven¡¯t eaten yet since you¡¯re angry with Luo Feng, right? I packed a box of side dishes. Eat some to fill your stomach. I¡¯ll get you some water.¡± Barbara was like a caring big sister and took care of him very well. A crack seemed to have appeared in her sensitive heart. Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She pouted and said aggrievedly, ¡°Barbara, what do you think I should do if Luo Feng doesn¡¯t like me anymore?¡± Barbara would definitely think that she was joking if not for the fact that Ai Tingya was about to cry. Looking at the girl in front of him, she was exquisite and beautiful. She had a gentle temper and a good personality. She was even loyal to her boyfriend. Anyone who was with her would feel happy. Even though there were many outstanding girls in school who were not as pretty as Ai Tingya in terms of grades¡­ Barbara had never seen anyone as pretty. There were only a few girls who were even more outstanding than Ai Tingya. What reason would Luo Feng have to fall in love with someone else?! ¡°How can he not like you!¡± Barbara roared excitedly. ¡°If I were a boy, I would want to woo you!¡± She was not joking. If she was a man, she would definitely be the ultimate bootlicker and immediately poach her away from Luo Feng! ¡°Barbara, stop teasing me,¡± Ai Tingya said gloomily. ¡°I¡¯m not joking!¡± Barbara rolled up her sleeves and said like a big sister, ¡°How dare he not like you! I¡¯ll help you deal with him!¡± As expected, was it because Luo Feng had changed his mind? He was a scumbag who did not know his fortune! ¡°No¡­¡± Ai Tingya pulled her aside and said, ¡°I just feel that I can¡¯t attract Luo Feng anymore¡­ Or rather, his preferences have changed. I can¡¯t say for sure.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t attract him? His taste has changed?¡± Barbara cupped Ai Tingya¡¯s face and said, ¡°Little Sister, do you know anything about men?¡± In Barbara¡¯s opinion, if Luo Feng got together with someone else, it would be like eating rare delicacies before eating chaff and vegetables. It would be a demotion of her aesthetic standards! She had seen many things and did not believe that such a thing would happen to Luo Feng. ¡°But¡­ But what if Luo Feng doesn¡¯t like girls?¡± Ai Tingya stammered. ¡°What?¡± Barbara was so shocked that her voice changed. ¡°doesn¡¯t like girls?¡± She had never seen this world before and was also stunned¡­ This¡­ This is too explosive! Even if ¡ªwith a very big if¡ª Luo Feng really did not like girls, he would not be interested in Ai Tingya no matter how good she was. This path would not work. ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± Barbara¡¯s first reaction was disbelief. ¡°You guys have always been very sweet. It¡¯s been almost three years.¡± Girls liked to hear about the relationships of the people around them. Sometimes, when they chatted at night, their three roommates would urge Ai Tingya to tell them her love story. The three of them were mesmerized by it, like a fairy tale. Even if Luo Feng got together with Ai Tingya for other reasons, it was impossible for there to only be signs three years later. ¡°Speaking of which, has he done anything overboard to you?¡± Barbara asked. Ai Tingya thought of the time when they were staying in a hotel in Nanlin City. What Luo Feng had done could be said to be overboard. He was simply a beast. Just thinking about it made her blush and her heart race. She was too embarrassed to tell Barbara clearly, so she could only nod to indicate that there was. Luo Feng had always coveted her body. Barbara saw Ai Tingya¡¯s expression and knew that the content was inappropriate for children. ¡°If it is similar to normal couples, why would you suspect that he likes boys?¡± ¡°People change after all.¡± In the past, Ai Tingya was also very confident that Luo Feng would not be seduced by her female seniors. She could even swagger to Luo Feng¡¯s class to declare her sovereignty. At that time, she never thought that she would one day suspect that Luo Feng liked boys. ¡°Hmm¡­ What you said seems to make sense.¡± Barbara frowned and thought seriously for a while. Suddenly, an idea flashed across her mind. She stood up proudly and said, ¡°I know! Can¡¯t you just probe him!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Ai Tingya asked in confusion, ¡°How do I probe?¡± Could she just walk up to Luo Feng and ask him stiffly if he liked boys? Help! Ai Tingya would rather never know if that was indeed the case. Chapter 145 - 145 Why Are You Here? 145 Why Are You Here? Ai Tingya became anxious. If she asked Luo Feng directly, she would rather find a crack in the ground to hide. Barbara saw that her innocent appearance was very cute and smiled. ¡°Silly girl, of course we have to talk with some skills. Would there be any special festival recently? For example, a Memorial Day or something.¡± Ai Tingya thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost Luo Feng¡¯s birthday.¡± ¡°Yes! This is it!¡± Barbara felt that there was no better opportunity than this. ¡°Let¡¯s take advantage of Luo Feng¡¯s birthday and see if he likes girls.¡± ¡°How do I try?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? Of course you have to wear sexier clothes, throw more flirtatious glances at him, make your movements more ambiguous, and make your voice a little sweeter. Have you seen a demon concubine who wreaks havoc in movies? Just lean in that direction! I dare to say that not many men can withstand it! As long as he likes a girl, he will definitely kneel obediently under your pomegranate skirt!¡± The more Barbara spoke, the more excited she became. She felt that she could simply start a training class. Ai Tingya understood what she meant. She blushed and said shyly, ¡°But I don¡¯t have experience¡­ I don¡¯t know what to do with clothes.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Barbara knew that it was time for her to appear! ¡°What are you afraid of with me around? Isn¡¯t Luo Feng¡¯s birthday just a few days away? I guarantee that I¡¯ll nurture you into a boneless beautiful woman. I guarantee that Luo Feng¡¯s nose will bleed! Tingya, are you willing to believe me?¡± Ai Tingya bit her nails and thought for a long time before nodding slightly. She would give it her all in order to know Luo Feng¡¯s true intentions! ¡­ After Xie Yan escaped, he did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he went to a rental house near the school. This was their company¡¯s office. It was not big, but there was a lot of equipment. Wires were spread all over the ground, and he was especially careful when he walked. He opened the door and quickly entered. He leaned against the door and panted, feeling a lingering fear of escaping from the tiger¡¯s mouth. It was as if Luo Feng would eat him if he ran any slower. Xie Yan took deep breaths, his voice attracting the attention of the people in the room. The door of the room opened at the same time, and more than ten people walked out and stood at the door. They all looked at the shocked Xie Yan expectantly. One of the girls brought him a bottle of water. ¡°What scared you so much?¡± Xie Yan drank a few mouthfuls of water and waved his hand, indicating that he could not explain it in a few sentences. After he recovered, a boy asked, ¡°Xie Yan, have you asked Teacher Zhu? Is the school willing to support our company?¡± Hearing this, Xie Yan paused for a moment and looked up with a dark expression. The others seemed to have a premonition and looked at their leader helplessly. Xie Yan felt deeply guilty. His partners in starting a business together were all his classmates. When he called for a partnership, he was ambitious. He did not expect it to end so miserably. Xie Yan¡¯s throat tightened as he looked at this shabby office. He could not say anything. ¡°I¡¯ve let everyone down¡­¡± He lowered his head and bowed deeply to everyone. It could be said that everyone standing here was gathered because of their trust in him. Xie Yan also thought that he could lead everyone to make a name for themselves, but reality proved that not only was he naive, but he was also weak. The female voice holding the water sighed and comforted him. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Everyone knows how much you¡¯ve done for the company. You¡¯ve done your best. You don¡¯t have to feel sorry for us.¡± The others nodded one after another, not blaming Xie Yan at all. ¡°Applying for entrepreneurial support is our last resort. It seems that we really can¡¯t persist anymore.¡± A boy¡¯s voice was hoarse, and his tone was very low. The second-hand trading platform they opened was mainly targeted at students from the school. On the weekends, they would also go to other universities to publicize and increase the number of users. However, the customer base was still too small to make a profit. They had been running it for more than half a year. Not only did they not earn money, they had also spent a lot of money on equipment, water, and electricity. Actually, they could endure it if it was just these fees. After all, there were more than 10 people. Some of them had better family backgrounds and their families paid more. However, the server fee for the website was too expensive. For the students who asked their families for money, they really could not hold on anymore. Other than Xie Yan taking out the money he had saved for more than 10 years to make up for it, the others also took out money one after another. At a rough calculation, there might be hundreds of thousands. He was completely relying on his hot-bloodedness to work. If it was someone else who needed to support their family, they might have long quit one¡¯s job, to shirk one¡¯s responsibility. Speaking of the current situation, everyone worked hard, but they were helpless. Xie Yan gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Let my father buy the company. At least we can continue and we can get some money.¡± He was really at his wits¡¯ end. Xie Yan was more unwilling to accept the consequences of going home to ask for help than anyone else. It was not that he had a problem with his parents, but once his powerful biological father made a move, this company would no longer belong to him. Out of educational ideals, his father would encourage Xie Yan to try. However, it was like an adult looking at a child building a sand castle. He would say a few words when he saw the finished product, but that was all. He would not think that tiny sand castle was an outstanding work. Xie Yan felt that this was how his father looked at his company. The adults encouraged them. If a child asked for money to buy bricks and tiles and build a better house, the adults would readily agree, but this house would have to be written with the adults¡¯ names in the future and be controlled by the adults. It became working for someone. This company contained Xie Yan¡¯s dream. He enrolled in the Finance Faculty under the instructions of his parents because his family was in business. However, Xie Yan¡¯s favorite was the Computer Science or the Software Faculty. With his results at that time, he could definitely enter the top Software Faculty. However, he had strong parents at home. He studied finance because they wanted him to inherit his family¡¯s company in the future. Xie Yan felt bored thinking about it. ¡°Think about it, Xie Yan. Everyone here has to disperse if your father buys the company.¡± The others advised. Everyone got along day and night and understood Xie Yan¡¯s inner thoughts¡ªhe just wanted to prove to his father that he could be successful if he insisted on working on the Internet! In a way, the website was indeed developing well. However, the older generation measured success with money. It was also true that they were not profitable. Even though Xie Yan¡¯s father was very generous and could give a high price of one million yuan, it was similar to severance pay. He might be a mascot when he bought it back or he might close it directly. Only then could Xie Yan study wholeheartedly. Xie Yan understood it all too well and did not relent. A boy wearing glasses was very angry and said angrily, ¡°Xie Yan, everyone is still thinking of a way. How can you retreat first? Don¡¯t forget how confident you were when you asked me to come over!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I really can¡¯t think of a way.¡± Xie Yan was already prepared to accept reality. Chapter 146 - 146 The Angel Investor Has Something To Ask! 146 The Angel Investor Has Something To Ask! Everyone was not far from giving up, but Xie Yan had completely lost his confidence after seeing Ai Tingya¡¯s project. ¡°I¡¯ve already thought about this. If I give the company to my father, everyone can still get some money.¡± Xie Yan felt a lump in his throat. ¡°I can¡¯t let you guys work for a while and not get a single cent.¡± Xie Yan¡¯s words made everyone fall silent. Who would want to lie flat? Moreover, Xie Yan was telling the truth. They had really suffered losses for a long time. Among the dozen or so people standing in the office, even though there were differences in ability, they could easily find a part-time job with their reputation as a famous school. They had been with Xie Yan for half a year. They had often stayed up late at night but it did not matter if they could not get a single cent. Everyone knew that it was not easy to start a business after all. They did not walk on the path of prosperity from the beginning. The saddest thing was that they had no other choice. Encouragement at such a time was also a form of self-deception. Xie Yan looked up at the silent crowd and gradually fell into despair. He looked at the bespectacled boy who was encouraging him and said, ¡°To be honest, if there¡¯s a way to make the company persist, I¡¯ll definitely try it. I¡¯ll do anything as long as it can revive the company.¡± The boy lowered his head and did not speak. His eyes were red as he took off his eyes and covered them stubbornly. Knock- Knock, knock- The knock on the door interrupted the heavy atmosphere in the room. Xie Yan took two deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and opened the door. Luo Feng stood at the door and waved at him with a smile. ¡°Hello, Student Xie Yan. We met just now.¡± Xie Yan¡¯s head buzzed when he saw that it was Luo Feng standing outside. He was as surprised as an airdrop bomb. F*ck, why did he come knocking on his door! Even though he said that he was willing to do anything for the company, but¡­ This¡­ This was too ridiculous. He felt that he needed enough time to build his mental foundation. ¡°Is it convenient for me to enter?¡± Luo Feng seemed to be very proactive. Without waiting for Xie Yan to speak, he walked into the office. ¡°Aiya, are you in a meeting?¡± Luo Feng looked at the dozen or so people standing in the office as punishment. Their eyes were red, and they looked gloomy. The atmosphere in the room was very gloomy. Everyone lowered their heads and did not speak. ¡°Um¡­ um¡­ Why are you looking for me?¡± Xie Yan avoided his eyes and stuttered. Luo Feng was very strange. He did not look terrifying. Why did Xie Yan feel like he was looking at a plague when he saw him? He felt very unwilling. ¡°I¡¯m here to take a look at your company.¡± Luo Feng smiled. After separating from Ai Tingya, he did not know what he was going to do and ate a bun in the canteen. Luo Feng thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well ask around about Xie Yan and invest in it as soon as possible. When Xie Yan heard that Luo Feng was interested in his company, he deduced that he was interested in him, he became even more flustered. ¡°Why¡­ Why are you here to look at my company?¡± Xie Yan said fearfully. Luo Feng coughed lightly and said very formally, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Feng. I¡¯m an angel investor. I¡¯m very interested in your company.¡± Xie Yan blurted out, ¡°Ain¡¯t you Ai Tingya¡¯s boyfriend.¡± Luo Feng was a little surprised. Why was Xie Yan¡¯s first reaction like that and not asking about investments? He said, ¡°These two identities don¡¯t conflict.¡± Luo Feng was secretly delighted. They should get to the main topic now. He had already made it so clear. Other than Xie Yan, the others were indeed stunned by Luo Feng¡¯s identity. They would never have dreamed that a silent and nameless company like theirs would one day be found by investors, especially at night. However, this investor looked so young, and why did Xie Yan seem to know him? Xie Yan was stunned for a moment before he caught the main point and said happily, ¡°In that case, you want to invest in our company. Do you also think our website has a lot of prospects?¡± Ai Tingya had been listening at the side when Zhu Qiao analyzed the website after all. Xie Yan thought that Luo Feng was so proactive because Ai Tingya had told him about the office conversation. If Luo Feng could really invest more, Xie Yan would not have to go back and lower his voice to his father! ¡°Hmm¡­ Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?¡± Luo Feng made an unfathomable expression. ¡°Of course I want to know the truth. Just tell us. We need opinions to perfect the website.¡± At this moment, Xie Yan was very humble. Not only could Luo Feng save them, but just listening to Ai Tingya¡¯s words had already displayed Luo Feng¡¯s unique business vision. The opinions he gave alone were comparable to hundreds of users of the website. Luo Feng¡¯s face was filled with ¡®you asked me to say it¡¯. He said, ¡°To be honest, your current website is worthless!¡± He took advantage of the meal to briefly experience it on the website. It would be very outstanding if he only regarded the website as a product of university homework. However, from a business perspective, Xie Yan¡¯s website was really terrible. Having technology was one thing, but whether he could earn money was another. As soon as he finished speaking, the boy in glasses stepped out angrily and slammed the table. ¡°What right do you have to say that our website is worthless!¡± The others also had anger on their faces. They did not have a good first impression of Luo Feng. They were all outstanding students who had fought their way through the college entrance examination. Each of them had their own small pride. This website was their output. Anyone would be angry if a stranger who did not know much about it pointed fingers at them. Luo Feng asked unhurriedly, ¡°Then I want to ask why you created the website. Are you trying to show off your skills?¡± His gaze shifted to Xie Yan. Xie Yan thought for a moment and said very solemnly, ¡°At that time, I had this idea because I saw the Seniors¡¯ second-hand market. Every graduation season, many school leavers take out things they don¡¯t need and sell them at a cheap price. However, they sold things earlier than the new students enrolled, so I thought we could integrate an online market and link them together earlier.¡± Luo Feng had also seen the news of the school choosing not to release it. When graduates sold things, it was usually the students two grades lower who went to support them. The new students who wanted to buy things the most had yet to enroll. There were also graduates selling books on the forum, but the posts sank very quickly. To be honest, Xie Yan was very observant and had ideas. However, Luo Feng would not show mercy just because of these two points. ¡°Firstly, do you know how many such websites there are in the country? Let¡¯s not talk about anything else. I know of two universities nearby. They were founded earlier than you and have more users than you.¡± ¡°What do you think is your competitiveness compared to them?¡± Chapter 147 - 147 This Is Your Profit Model? Of Course Its Normal To Make A Loss 147 This Is Your Profit Model? Of Course It¡¯s Normal To Make A Loss Luo Feng could be said to be quite ruthless, and his questions were very sharp. Xie Yan and the others were stunned on the spot. They seemed to have never thought about what Luo Feng had said. In the early stages of the website, they had completely relied on their passion. To put it bluntly, it was driven by their dreams. His words woke them up from their dreams. They had really not investigated the format of the market carefully. There were actually so many potential competitors. Xie Yan panicked. Luo Feng acted as if he did not see everyone¡¯s solemn expressions and continued, ¡°There¡¯s another very important question. Where¡¯s your profit model?¡± ¡°We once¡­ experimented with charging a 2% commission¡­¡± Xie An¡¯s voice was as soft as a mosquito. ¡°Then let me guess. After you started charging, there was a large loss of users, right?¡± Luo Feng said heartlessly. Xie Yan and the others¡¯ expressions became even uglier. They hated being criticized by strangers. What was even more infuriating was that this stranger was very right. Luo Feng did not need to guess to know that the main target audience of the website service was students without income. They were not merchants nor businesses. They sold second-hand goods to recover some of the cost. They still wanted to collect commission? The university students chose to trade offline. Not to mention that there was a similar website nearby. Everyone kept nodding. After a large number of users left, they had an internal discussion and came to a similar conclusion as Luo Feng. This was also why they had never been able to make a profit. Xie Yan thought that it was because the users had yet to rely on the website. After the success of hunger marketing, it would definitely be time for them to earn money. However, they no longer had the money to support it before users got used to the website. Luo Feng said casually, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you only thought of collecting commissions as a profitable line?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± A girl said stubbornly, ¡°We can still sell advertisements. Several advertisers have looked for us!¡± Luo Feng looked at her stubborn expression and said, ¡°Then why don¡¯t you sell it? I¡¯ve seen your page. The advertisement space is filled with warm notifications. There are no advertisements. I guess it¡¯s not a serious advertisement to be able to find a small website for university students.¡± The few of them looked at each other with shame and stopped refuting. Luo Feng was really right. When large companies placed advertisements, they would definitely go to a large website with a larger number of users. The advertisers who came to look for Xie Yan to cooperate were either for mahjong or to loan money. University students who have yet to enter society were simple-minded and had broad horizons. It was inevitable that their consumption would increase. Many illegal small loans had targeted this. More than one company had found Xie Yan. The advertising fee they promised was very generous. After all, small loans were very profitable and they were not short of money. However, Xie Yan¡¯s conscience did not allow him to take on the loan advertisement, so he rejected them sternly. The team had always looked down on despicable businesses that took advantage of loopholes. It was just that they did not expect themselves to bring up these advertisements one day to give them face. They were even ruthlessly exposed. Luo Feng¡¯s eyes were like poisonous spikes, sinister and accurate. Xie Yan was so ashamed that he could not raise his head. Actually, he had long known the weight of his website. This was because he had gone out to pull advertisements. Only a few small businesses in the nearby student business were willing to get advertisements. Powerful companies did not even look at them. Luo Feng felt that their position was too poor. ¡°The consumption power of the student faction might not be weak in terms of consumption for themselves. However, wanting to earn their intermediary fees is similar to taking advantage of them in their eyes. Moreover, if you want to make a profit, there are still too few users.¡± How much money could students have in this era where the economy was still slowly growing? Every cent must be spent on the blade. In their school, the average student¡¯s living expenses were about 800 yuan. Other than food, daily expenses, and other expenses, they occasionally had to buy books. The students had to plan their expenses under this standard of living. Since he had already come to this point, Luo Feng might as well say a few more words. ¡°Big companies don¡¯t set their sights on the present when they place advertisements. Instead, they pay attention to the nurturing of potential customers. Even though there are many users on your website, their activity is very low, right? They will only log in to take a look when they are buying and selling things. Do you think the advertisements placed under such circumstances will be effective?¡± ¡°No.¡± Xie Yan lowered his head to his chest. ¡°It won¡¯t be of any use not only for the current effect but also for future development.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng nodded. Xie Yan had a good personality. ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡± Xie Yan¡¯s voice was dry. The company had been open for half a year, but there were still so many problems. Xie Yan knew that he had failed in his duty. Luo Feng dragged a chair and sat down. He said bluntly, ¡°Do you know what¡¯s the most important thing about an all-rounded second-hand website?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Reputation! And it¡¯s the user¡¯s reputation! Think about it. How can you guarantee the quality of the things sold by the user and whether the description matches the real thing? How can you guarantee that the buyer will pay voluntarily after receiving the goods?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve encountered such a problem.¡± Xie Yan scratched his head. ¡°That¡¯s because the customer base is small and the circle is small. Moreover, they¡¯re all university students. Everyone has their own ethics and knows how to protect their reputation,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°If we expand the customer base outside the school, do you expect to be exposed on the school forum after suffering a loss in the future?¡± Luo Feng was not scaring them. He had seen real second-hand websites in the future. This was even on the basis that the shopping website was already mature. It could only develop normally with the reputation system established by payment software. If he was like Xie Yan and the others, who knew how much trouble he would cause if he completely relied on the students¡¯ ethics. In other words, there had to be a perfect reputation system that was intimidating to users before establishing a second-hand trading website. This was exactly what Xie Yan and the others did not have. Xie Yan and his team were not stupid. They understood everything with a little guidance. ¡°There were strong competitors in the past, but the reputation system was not perfected. The development goals are still unclear. Classmate Xie Yan, don¡¯t you think your website is worthless?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s throat was parched as he was finally understood. Xie Yan¡¯s face was pale. Even though he was in despair, he did not forget to pour Luo Feng a glass of water. The others¡¯ expressions were also very ugly. Luo Feng¡¯s words were like needles that pierced their hearts one after another. To be honest, they were all students of top universities and each had their own pride. Now, their remaining confidence was shattered by Luo Feng¡¯s words. Xie Yan muttered to himself in despair, ¡°Could I have been wrong from the beginning?¡± He shouldn¡¯t be so childish as to insist on his dream. Instead, he should listen to his parents¡¯ arrangements obediently. Complete his studies step by step, enter his family¡¯s company after graduation, and walk the path his parents had taken? Chapter 148 - 148 Changing Direction, Making A Delivery Platform! 148 Changing Direction, Making A Delivery Platform! ¡°Maybe I¡¯m really not suitable for entrepreneurship.¡± Xie Yan concluded himself. When Luo Feng heard this, his right eyelid twitched slightly. Not good, he was too straightforward! Even though recognizing the truth was beneficial to his future development, it could also hurt him if he could not recover from the setback. He was here to invest, not to deal a blow. Luo Feng hoped that they could maintain their previous enthusiasm and not give up! ¡°Ahem! Don¡¯t be discouraged.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s tone rose. ¡°I¡¯ll still invest in your company.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Xie Yan could not understand Luo Feng and was also uninterested. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that we¡¯re worthless?¡± The hot-tempered bespectacled student asked curiously. Luo Feng put down the glass of water and stood up. He looked into everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°Because you have the strength. It¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t find the right direction previously and took the wrong path when saving the company.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Everyone nodded. They agreed with Luo Feng, but what did this have to do with them? The chicken soup for the soul alone was useless to them. Xie Yan even began to think about how to go back and negotiate with his father to sell for more money to fill his private savings. ¡°Hmph!¡± Luo Feng kicked over the stool beside him and shouted, ¡°A group of hot-headed people who can¡¯t withstand a blow. Do you think you¡¯re still qualified to boil over your dreams?!¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Everyone patronized him and looked at Luo Feng like a monkey looking at Flower Fruit Mountain. Who the hell was still clinging to their dream at this point in time? It was more important to go home and inherit the company. Luo Feng blinked. He had never thought that his words would make them unable to get over the setback. Xie Yan did not speak, as if he was no longer interested in his surroundings. His mind was only filled with how to negotiate with his father. He was not prepared when he started the company, so he had to be fully prepared when selling it. Why don¡¯t he try to probe both Luo Feng and his biological father and let the highest bidder win? At this moment, only the bespectacled boy who was still passionate about the company raised his hand and said, ¡°Um, your name is Luo Feng, right? What are you going to do after you invest in our company? Is there a development path?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s gaze drifted to the side as he looked at the boy¡¯s expectant eyes. To be honest, he had yet to think it through. The reason why he said so much was not only to point out the current problems to Xie Yan, but also to take down the company. He was a rich second-generation heir after all. He would not be easily tempted just with money. Luo Feng could not give a development path now. It had only been a few hours since he met Xie Yan and found this place. On the way here, Luo Feng understood the website and summarized the problems. There was too little time. It was not enough for him to think about his future development. But he couldn¡¯t say that. ¡°Life is not an exam where someone will directly give you the answer as a reference if you do the questions wrongly,¡± Luo Feng said sincerely. ¡°Therefore, you have to think about this problem yourself.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you full autonomy and might give you some suggestions occasionally,¡± Luo Feng said sincerely. Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little tempted. Who would want to give up so easily if they could maintain their hard work? Moreover, if Luo Feng could fulfill his promise, they would really not have to worry about funds. It didn¡¯t feel half bad thinking about it! Everyone¡¯s thoughts gradually gathered, but no one came out to make the decision. The bespectacled boy boldly asked again, ¡°What suggestions can you give us then?¡± Luo Feng did not answer and said, ¡°Let¡¯s put the suggestion aside for now. I want to confirm first. Do you still plan to continue working on the second-hand website?¡± He had already received the intentions of the others. This sentence was mainly targeted at Xie Yan. Xie Yan was in a daze and was pulled back to reality by Luo Feng¡¯s words. Then, he shook his head. They all knew very well that the current problem was no longer the website, but the problem of standardizing users. With their current ability, they had nothing but technology. Second-hand websites were no longer profitable to them. Luo Feng was silent for a moment, and he had a very bold suggestion in his mind. However, he was very vexed about how to make the proposal match the development of the era. At first, he wanted to make a handphone. Internet shopping was inseparable from the development of the Internet, and smartphones were also a companion product. He touched the Apple phone in his pocket. Soon, the smartphone market would explode. The various mobile phone giants in the country had yet to exert their strength at this time. However, it was obvious that this group of people¡¯s abilities had yet to reach the level of developing phones. Putting aside the hardware of the phone, the phone¡¯s operating system would be limited by the era. It might take years to modify it to be so convenient in the future. If Luo Feng suggested building a phone first, everyone would definitely think that he was bragging. Therefore, Luo Feng had to think of a technical proposal that was compatible with their current development reality and did not seem so ridiculous. Only then would he move everyone. ¡°It¡¯s too early to shop online. We can combine online and offline.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s spiritual intelligence flashed and he smiled. ¡°We can do takeaways!¡± ¡°What?¡± Xie Yan was dumbfounded. No one had thought about this at all. What was the connection between takeaways and their second-hand website? Luo Feng felt that this idea was very good! It was also the best choice for Xie Yan and his team. He remembered that in his previous life, domestic takeaways relied mainly on the shop¡¯s own publicity. They would give the customer a business card with a menu and call to book it when it was time to eat. Then, the waiter in the shop would deliver it to their doorstep. They were all doing scattered, nearby businesses and were still in the bulking-up stage. Later on, a few graduate students established an online platform. The technology was not very advanced, but it developed very quickly. It even became the first in the takeaway industry in a short period of time. Of course, after it was bought over, it was overtaken by other takeaway platforms. That was a management problem for later. Calculating the time, takeaway websites began to appear at about this time. Luo Feng had already begun to order takeaway when he was in university in his previous life. When smartphones became popular later on and takeaway software was introduced, it would become even more popular! Until it infiltrated the lives of ordinary people and became a part of their normal lives. Luo Feng thought about it carefully for a moment and felt that this threshold had vast development prospects. Coupled with this group of people¡¯s overly strong technological ability and Luo Feng¡¯s interest, it could be said that it was impossible not to make a profit. After clearing his mind, Luo Feng took a sip of water and continued, ¡°Businesses always center around clothes, food, accommodation and transportation. Takeaways can be related to technology and food. Think about it. Every time you guys play games, or when you are tired from studying, do you feel like you want to snack but you can¡¯t go out to buy food?¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be very convenient to open the website and order takeaway at this time?¡± Chapter 149 - 149 A Million Is A Million! 149 A Million Is A Million! ¡°But we can also make a call and get them to send food to our doorstep,¡± a girl retorted. ¡°How naive.¡± Luo Feng shook his head in disdain. ¡°This method is already outdated.¡± How could he not have thought of this? Moreover, Luo Feng was very sure that there were definitely more than three order cards from nearby shops in the pockets of everyone present. He had also ordered from them, and more than once, he missed the explanations from his previous life. ¡°There are two advantages to ordering food on the webpage: being able to view directly and variety! Vendors can upload pictures of food on the Internet platform so that users can feel more carefree. On the other hand, there can only be one phone order. Every time you order food, do you take out your phone¡¯s order card like playing poker and let everyone choose together?¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up hearing Luo Feng¡¯s explanation. Luo Feng continued, ¡°Everyone, think about it. Our website is not only near the school, but facing the entire country. It includes all the merchants and users in the country! This can change an industry!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll join!¡± The bespectacled boy did everything in a hurry and immediately applied to participate. Xie Yan looked at his companions in a daze and did not say anything. After the second-hand website incident, his confidence had been severely thwarted. He did not know if he was still qualified to be with everyone. He was abnormally conflicted. ¡°Xie Yan, what are you hesitating for?¡± The bespectacled boy walked out and grabbed Xie Yan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°We¡¯ve worked hard together for half a year. Do you want to give up here? Isn¡¯t our cooperation very pleasant? And very compatible> I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a team with more tactical understanding between them! I really! I really want to fight with everyone! Are you going to be a deserter again!¡± The bespectacled boy could not help but choke up when he mentioned the emotional part. He really cherished the time when he worked hard with everyone. He was happy even if he stayed up late to work. When the girls heard this, they also sobbed. So everyone¡¯s feelings were the same. Xie Yan looked at the bespectacled boy, and his blank eyes were also wet. In fact, Xie Yan invited twice as many people as now in the early stages of the business. However, a month or two later, many people who could not hold on left silently. Xie Yan had to find someone to fill the vacancy again. In the end, only a dozen people were left in the office. Some of them had been there from the beginning, such as the bespectacled boys, and some had participated halfway. They were all the people who had accompanied Xie Yan to the end. Who liked to suffer? Those who could stay here relied on strong feelings. Everyone¡¯s suppressed emotions for many days finally could not hold back after hearing the bespectacled boy¡¯s words. Everyone had endured so many sleepless nights together, from the joy of having their first user to their recent worries. Everyone was the same worried and was trying their best to think of a way to save them. He walked over step by step, leaving footprints in the same direction behind everyone. ¡°I¡­¡± Xie Yan¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°I¡¯m unwilling too!¡± His eyes were firm as he turned to look at Luo Feng. ¡°Fellow classmate, you said that you want to invest in our company. I have a request.¡± Luo Feng nodded solemnly. ¡°Tell me!¡± ¡°I have 60% of the company¡¯s shares. I can give you 51%, which I¡¯m asking for 500,000 yuan, but I have a request. They can¡¯t have any lesser shares.¡± Xie Yan wanted to compensate everyone and do what he could. He thought that the majority should be enough for Luo Feng to be loyal to the company. Not only could he protect the interests of his other companions, but he could also find a reliable shareholder. As for himself, he did not mind as long as the company was still around and he could start a business with his partners. ¡°No!¡± Luo Feng rejected decisively. ¡°Not even 500,000 yuan?¡± Xie Yan looked troubled. This was all he could offer. Luo Feng was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet. ¡°One million yuan! I¡¯ll buy your shares for one million yuan! You can split the other 49% yourself. I won¡¯t interfere.¡± Can¡¯t you have some confidence in yourself! Can¡¯t you extort some money from me?! This shouldn¡¯t be considered a deliberate increase in price, right? Luo Feng felt that Xie Yan¡¯s company was worth a million yuan! He was almost delayed by this stupid kid! Everyone, who was already discouraged, was stunned when they heard Luo Feng¡¯s words. Why did he increase the price in the opposite direction? Everyone looked at each other again, wanting to see the answer from each other¡¯s eyes¡ªdid they hear wrongly? However, the other party¡¯s eyes told them that Luo Feng would really give them a million yuan! ¡°Yes! A million yuan!¡± Luo Feng would not give them any chance to bargain. ¡°You might not understand why I came looking for you because you¡¯re all talents in my eyes. Second-hand websites might be worthless, but I think you guys are worth a million. This is considered me taking advantage.¡± ¡°Everyone, work hard. If you do well, your salary will increase! Believe me, you¡¯re definitely worth it!¡± Luo Feng hurriedly added, afraid that everyone would be humble. Everyone¡¯s blood boiled as they listened, and tears welled up in their eyes. Their shattered confidence was reconstructed again, and they were even more determined than before. When Xie Yan saw Luo Feng¡¯s high-spirited face, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind. ¡°A gentleman dies for his confidant.¡± It was not because Luo Feng had taken out the money. His family could afford a million yuan. It was just that Luo Feng recognized his and his companions¡¯ strength. This made them happier than any infusion of funds. When Xie Yan thought about how he could still be with his companions and continue to realize his dreams, the path ahead became much clearer. He could not help but smile in relief. It had to be said that after Luo Feng displayed his generosity and kindness, Xie Yan felt less afraid of him. ¡°There¡¯s no time to lose. Let¡¯s sign the contract.¡± Luo Feng could not wait to see if this reverse price increase would hold up. ¡°Okay, okay, okay! I¡¯ll prepare it immediately!¡± The bespectacled boy ran into the office like the wind. Then, he quickly ran out and handed the still hot share transfer contract to Xie Yan. If it was Ai Tingya, Luo Feng wished he could give her all his shares. However, he had intercepted Xie Yan¡¯s company halfway through. Luo Feng acknowledged their ability, but he did not completely trust them. There was still a long way to go. Everyone would slowly get used to it. It was getting late after the two of them signed the agreement. Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory was not far from Xie Yan¡¯s. When they returned to the dormitory together, they could discuss the plan of the takeaway website. Xie Yan told him his thoughts and Luo Feng gave him a few suggestions. He still had to slowly try the specific details and functions. Xie Yan promised that the first version would be out in a month at the latest. At that time, he would let Luo Feng take a look. The two of them chatted happily. Xie Yan wanted to talk for a while more even when they arrived at Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory building. Little did he know that two pairs of eyes were projecting down from the opposite dormitory¡ªAi Tingya and Barbara were lying on the balcony and silently observing the two of them. Chapter 150 - 150 In Hindsight, Long Time No See Ai Tingya 150 In Hindsight, Long Time No See Ai Tingya Ai Tingya and Barbara leaned against the window and saw the two of them chatting non-stop downstairs. In Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes, they were talking about a serious project. It was like meeting a confidant who could not part with him. ¡°Wow! They¡¯re still standing there. Wouldn¡¯t their feet feel numb?¡± Barbara couldn¡¯t help but sigh. If they weren¡¯t discussing national matters, they would have let them down by being so engrossed. In a sense, it was indeed very influential. Ai Tingya gritted her teeth in anger and made up her mind. ¡°Barbara, please teach me probing ability quickly. I can¡¯t wait until Luo Feng¡¯s birthday!¡± She was afraid that she would prepare a surprise and bump into Luo Feng¡¯s new relationship on his birthday. If that was the case, Ai Tingya felt that she might cry to death on the spot. ¡°Oh ho ho, teach you about this? I¡¯m a Professional!¡± Barbara hugged the computer mysteriously and smiled. ¡°Come, I¡¯ll show you some ¡®learning materials¡¯ first.¡± When Luo Feng was done with Xie Yan¡¯s matters, he remembered that he had not seen Ai Tingya for a few days. When Luo Feng sent her a message, he received a cold ¡°busy¡± reply. He thought that there was an exam in Ai Tingya¡¯s class. Barbara actually walked around him when wanted to talk to her. Unless their course was ¡°Assassin Cultivation¡±, Luo Feng could not figure out why they were avoiding him. Luo Feng thought that he would definitely be able to get to Ai Tingya if he went to the milk tea shop. She treated the milk tea shop as her life¡¯s work after all. She would definitely go there even if the sky turned against her. Unexpectedly, she still wasn¡¯t there. Xiao Fei was a little surprised to see Luo Feng. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I come?¡± Luo Feng felt that these words were strange. Xiao Fei quickly explained, ¡°You and Xiao Ya haven¡¯t been here for a long time. I thought you guys skipped class for your honeymoon. Ah, crap¡­¡± Xiao Fei hurriedly covered her mouth and kept glancing to the side, hinting that there was someone on Luo Feng¡¯s side she could not afford to offend before he could speak. Luo Feng turned around and saw Ai Zhaojiang holding the newspaper and blowing his beard and glaring at him. He was almost like the elderly leisure and entertainment center in the milk tea shop. He came here every day and would sit for a while even if he didn¡¯t drink milk tea. The main reason was to visit Ai Tingya. Unfortunately, he had missed out on something in the past two days. Ai Zhaojiang blamed all of this on Luo Feng. If not for this kid pestering Ai Tingya, why would his good granddaughter not show his face for so long?! All the delicious food he had prepared was useless! ¡°You¡¯d better give me an explanation!¡± Ai Zhaojiang said faintly. Luo Feng expressed his innocence. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Tingya in a long time. I don¡¯t know what she¡¯s been busy with recently.¡± In Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s eyes, the sensible Ai Tingya only knew how to busy herself with serious matters. He was very happy! When he heard that she was not with Luo Feng, he was even happier! ¡°Good! Good!¡± Ai Zhaojiang praised twice. ¡°Tingya is busy with serious matters. As her grandfather, I will definitely support her. Don¡¯t disturb her, understand?¡± This made him even happier than his thesis getting published. Ai Zhaojiang bade farewell to Xiao Fei and left the milk tea shop with his hands behind his back. Luo Feng sweated. Why was he still so worried after spending so much time together¡­ He watched the old man walk away and turned back to the milk tea shop to ask Xiao Fei, ¡°Do you know what Tingya has been busy with recently?¡± Xiao Fei shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I didn¡¯t even know she was busy.¡± ¡°¡­Alright.¡± Luo Feng did not know where to go to ask for information when his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Ai Tingya. ¡°Luo Feng, let¡¯s go to our new house this weekend.¡± A bunch of things had come knocking on their door ever since the renovation was completed. The two of them had indeed not gone to take a look. Thinking that it had been ventilated for a month, it was time to put them to use. Otherwise, the big bed that Luo Feng had carefully chosen would be in vain. He couldn¡¯t ask for more. ¡°Sure. I¡¯ll pick you up on Saturday morning.¡± Luo Feng did not care that there was no reply. He waited happily until the weekend. ¡­ Saturday morning. He was neatly dressed and holding a bouquet of flowers as he waited downstairs for Ai Tingya. ¡°Hey!¡± A shout came from above. Luo Feng looked up and realized that it was Ai Tingya¡¯s roommate, Barbara. She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at Luo Feng, ¡°Tingya has been out for a while. Why are you still here?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Feng did not react. ¡°Where did she go?¡± ¡°She said she¡¯ll wait for you at the agreed place,¡± Barbara said. Hearing this, Luo Feng did not remember that he had other agreements with Ai Tingya. After the new house was completed, Luo Feng also gave Ai Tingya the key. Could it be that she went alone first? Luo Feng did not think too much about it. He hailed a taxi at the school gate and quickly arrived at their new house. The room was dark when he turned the key in the door. All the curtains were drawn, and the lights were not turned on. ¡°Tingya?¡± Luo Feng carefully walked in and called out to the quiet room. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Ai Tingya floated behind Luo Feng and covered his eyes with her delicate hands. She said softly, ¡°I have a surprise for you. You¡¯re not allowed to open your eyes until I say yes.¡± Luo Feng was overjoyed when his fragrant breath landed on his face. He nodded cooperatively. Before he could plan, Ai Tingya covered Luo Feng¡¯s eyes with an eye mask. ¡°Don¡¯t play any tricks,¡± Ai Tingya said playfully. She knew Luo Feng too well. She could not let him spoil the surprise. Since he could not see, his sense of smell and hearing were especially sensitive. After Ai Tingya blindfolded Luo Feng, she left him alone on the spot. Hearing the rustling of fabric, Luo Feng blushed and realized that Ai Tingya was changing her clothes. After a while, Ai Tingya walked over and wrapped her arms around Luo Feng¡¯s waist. Seeing that it was rare for her to take the initiative, Luo Feng hugged her back, but his fingers retracted as if they were scalded. Then, he pressed against her and touched Ai Tingya¡¯s delicate and soft skin. He realized that Ai Tingya¡¯s clothes were not ordinary, as if there were only a few strips of cloth hanging on her. Is this girl trying to tempt him? What kind of good day is it today? Luo Feng was extremely excited. Ai Tingya still wrapped her arms around his neck and her body slowly twisted. She was like a charming vine as she climbed up Luo Feng¡¯s body bit by bit and intertwined with him. She was inseparable, completely unlike the usual Ai Tingya. Luo Feng took a deep breath and felt his lower abdomen tighten. He would not be a man if he could endure this! He grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s waist and was about to respond when Ai Tingya let out a soft cry and pushed him, stopping the tempting friction. Ai Tingya quietly hugged Luo Feng and panted. Seduction was really a big lesson. She was extremely tired just by twisting for a while. Ai Tingya felt that she was really useless and hated her weak stamina. Ai Tingya let go of Luo Feng and prepared to find a place to hide since she had made herself angry. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng suddenly picked her up and walked towards the inner room. Chapter 151 - 151 Recognition Of Ai Tingyas Learning Results 151 Recognition Of Ai Tingya¡¯s Learning Results Luo Feng¡¯s breathing was rapid. He carried Ai Tingya and threw her onto the bed. The soft bed was like a cloud, and Ai Tingya was trapped in it. She turned her head and saw Luo Feng pressing down on her. Her blindfold had disappeared at some point. Ai Tingya said gloomily, ¡°You promised me not to take off my blindfold.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°It dropped by itself.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Ai Tingya punched Luo Feng¡¯s chest lightly. She did not believe his words. She looked up at Luo Feng¡¯s gradually deep gaze and knew that her experiment had been very successful. She was still very attractive to Luo Feng. After obtaining the answer she wanted, Ai Tingya wrapped her arms around Luo Feng¡¯s neck and buried her face in his neck. She hung on to Luo Feng like a little monkey. ¡°It¡¯s been so long since we last met. You missed me, right?¡± Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s back and bit her earlobe. ¡°I missed you too. I didn¡¯t expect you to prepare such a big surprise for me.¡± As he spoke, his hands began to wander southwards. Ai Tingya hurriedly grabbed his wrist and smiled evilly. ¡°I miss you too, but my relative1 is here.¡± Luo Feng was stunned for a moment before he remembered that these two days were Ai Tingya¡¯s period. The loaded gun could not be fired. Luo Feng let go of Ai Tingya gloomily and took off his clothes to cover her naked body. He said dejectedly, ¡°You¡¯re still wearing so little during your period. What if you catch a cold?¡± Ai Tingya liked Luo Feng¡¯s defeated expression too much. She pestered him and said, ¡°I just encountered a problem and want to verify something.¡± ¡°Why do you have to verify something like this? Are you doubting my manliness?¡± Luo Feng said angrily. Ai Tingya pouted and felt aggrieved for a few seconds. ¡°I just thought you didn¡¯t like me anymore and wanted to test my attraction to you.¡± Luo Feng really did not know what she was thinking about all day. Why would she doubt his love for her? ¡°Silly girl, you¡¯re letting your imagination run wild.¡± Luo Feng stroked her long hair and knew that he must have made her feel insecure. ¡°Why do you think so?¡± Ai Tingya said awkwardly, ¡°Who asked you to look at Xie Yan the same way you looked at me back then! Anyone would misunderstand!¡± ??? Luo Feng was speechless. It turned out that Ai Tingya was suspicious about his orientation. It was no longer an insecurity. It was completely a whimsical idea. Luo Feng was looking at Xie Yan¡¯s potential. It was an admiration! An affirmation! ¡°Xie Yan and I¡­ No¡­ I¡¯m innocent with anyone of the same sex!¡± Luo Feng retorted firmly! Ai Tingya burrowed into Luo Feng¡¯s arms and hugged him tightly. She said in satisfaction, ¡°I know now.¡± Luo Feng could not help but laugh seeing that she was still pretending to be obedient after taking advantage of him. ¡°Where did you learn all this nonsense from? And what¡¯s wrong with your clothes?¡± ¡°Barbara bought it for me. She even showed me some learning materials.¡± Ai Tingya felt so guilty that she betrayed her comrade without thinking. Learning materials¡­ Those who knew would understand¡­ Ai Zhaojiang was always worried that Luo Feng would lead Ai Tingya astray. Actually, Ai Tingya¡¯s roommate was even more dangerous. However, to Luo Feng, there was no harm in learning a little. Luo Feng picked Ai Tingya up like a doll and changed to a more comfortable position. He looked into Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes and was a little angry. ¡°How can you doubt my liking for you?¡± ¡°Are you angry?¡± Ai Tingya felt that she was in the wrong and lowered her head to look away. She accidentally saw the change in Luo Feng¡¯s important parts. Her two small hands gently covered Luo Feng¡¯s belt buckle and said, ¡°I learned some other things. I originally wanted to show them to you on your birthday. I¡¯ll give them to you as an apology now.¡± She lowered her head, undid the zipper of her pants, and kissed him there gently. Luo Feng took a deep breath and once again had a deep understanding of Ai Tingya¡¯s super learning ability. ¡­ Winter came quickly and fiercely this year. The temperature was lower than in previous years, but it could not dampen Yan Kaize¡¯s enthusiasm. Taking advantage of this cold wave, he decided to start opening milk tea shops throughout the entire city. He stood on the busiest street in the largest local shopping center. Behind him was a new milk tea shop that had just opened. His heart was surging and he had the urge to recite poems. Yan Kaize looked at the busy shopping mall in front of him and said proudly to the original boss behind him, ¡°Do you see that? Our milk tea business will take off here!¡± The original Boss¡¯s heart was beating like a drum. It was a stark contrast to Yan Kaize¡¯s confidence. He muttered softly, ¡°Are we really not squeezed here by your junior?¡± ¡°Shut up! You can¡¯t boost other people¡¯s morale and destroy your own prestige.¡± Yan Kaize reprimanded. ¡°Is that because I can¡¯t defeat them? It¡¯s just a university area. In my eyes, it¡¯s no different from a small quagmire!¡± Boss Yuan shrunk his neck and criticized, ¡°Then you suffered in the small quagmire.¡± Actually, from his perspective, he did not want to accompany Yan Kaize to run around at all. It was mainly because his little wealth could not keep up with Yan Kaize¡¯s footsteps. It was the same old saying. When Yan Kaize fought with Luo Feng, he was the only one who was injured. Yan Kaize hated to see his embarrassed expression the most. Wasn¡¯t this indirectly not believing his decision? ¡°Think about it. No matter how good Luo Feng¡¯s milk tea shop¡¯s business is, it can only guard a personal fief. When he saves enough money and wants to expand, he suddenly realizes that a large area of the city market is already ours!¡± Yan Kaize broke it open and analyzed it with the original boss. Boss Yuan nodded. He was indeed skeptical. ¡°Why do I still feel that it¡¯s unreliable?¡± He remembered that Yan Kaize¡¯s words were very nice when they were running the shop. In the end, their hometown had been destroyed by Luo Feng, so they could only choose to leave the battlefield. The more Yan Kaize spoke, the more worried Boss Yuan was. He felt that things would not go so smoothly. ¡°Sigh, you¡¯re also a businessman. You know that there are losses and gains. Yes, Luo Feng was indeed very successful near the school, but his victory was only short-lived and narrow! And we¡¯re about to control the entire scene. This is the difference between a tactical victory and a strategic victory!¡± Yan Kaize analyzed non-stop. Boss Yuan felt that it was a little interesting and felt a little relieved. ¡°Alright, alright! Prepare to open for business!¡± Yan Kaize called out to the employees in the shop, preparing to test the first day of business. The two of them held the congratulatory flower basket at the door and placed it further forward to attract the attention of the passersby. The business was not as hot as the two of them had imagined. Yan Kaize could accept it. After all, they were a new shop and many people did not know. Moreover, it was not time for the most traffic yet. All of this was still under control. At this moment, a young couple with their arms around each other¡¯s shoulders walked over. The girl looked at the sign and exclaimed, ¡°Wow! So there¡¯s another one here. I¡¯ve always wanted to try it!¡± The boy asked curiously, ¡°It¡¯s just a milk tea shop. Why are you so excited?¡± Chapter 152 - 152 Senior, What A Coincidence Meeting You Again 152 Senior, What A Coincidence Meeting You Again The boy did not understand why the girl would exclaim over a milk tea shop. Wasn¡¯t it something that could be drunk everywhere? The girl looked like she knew nothing about romance. ¡°What do you know? My best friend has been telling me about the milk tea shop near her school. She asked me to go over and try it when I have the chance. I¡¯ve been craving it for a long time.¡± The boy still thought she was exaggerating. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know after drinking it.¡± The girl dragged the boy under the signboard and looked at him expectantly. Then, the girl stopped and narrowed her eyes to study it carefully. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± the boy asked doubtfully. ¡°The shop name¡­¡± The girl pointed at the sign and said, ¡°I think it¡¯s called Goud Me, not Good Me!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The boy had never seen a milk tea shop with knockoffs. He looked up and saw that the second word on the signboard was really slightly different. One would not be able to tell unless they looked at it seriously. The girl snorted in disappointment. ¡°It turned out to be a knockoff. Let¡¯s go.¡± With that, the two of them left without looking back. Yan Kaize and Boss Yuan looked at each other and held their foreheads helplessly. Yan Kaize said in frustration, ¡°Why did I meet Luo Feng¡¯s dead loyal fan here?!¡± When he came up with this name, Yan Kaize had hidden his intention to educate Luo Feng. He wanted to show Luo Feng what business operations were and let him abandon that naivety as soon as possible. Therefore, he copied it very straightforwardly and did not think of changing it when he opened a new shop. Yan Kaize did not expect to be criticized for piracy. He actually felt embarrassed. Right on the heels of that, a few more groups of people walked to the door and quickly left when they saw the sign board. ¡°How annoying. I especially came over when I heard that Good Me had opened a branch. Why is it an imposter?¡± A girl complained to her friend and did not forget to look at Yan Kaize¡¯s shop in disdain. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s look for it again.¡± Her friend comforted her good-naturedly. Yan Kaize and Boss Yuan looked at each other tacitly. ¡°Director Yan, why do I feel like I heard them looking for Good Me in the mall?¡± Boss Yuan¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. ¡°¡­ I heard it too¡­¡± The two of them secretly followed, wanting to investigate. Not long after, the two of them stopped and saw a crowd in front of a shop five shops away. Previously, this shop had been chosen by Yan Kaize because of the high traffic. However, because someone had rented it in advance, Yan Kaize could only choose another place. ¡°What did I say¡­¡± Boss Yuan¡¯s voice was filled with despair. ¡°When¡­ when did they open a new shop?!¡± Yan Kaize was shocked. The familiar signboard looked like a Nightmare. Only then did Yan Kaize understand that the person who rented the shop before him was Luo Feng! In front of the new shop stood a very eye-catching sign: ¡°The second cup is free three days before the new shop opens!¡± A familiar routine. A familiar person walked out of the familiar shop with a familiar smile. Luo Feng walked to the door to maintain order and even met old customers shopping to chat. ¡°Aiya, Boss, do you really want to open a new shop just because you say so? Every time I want to drink it, I have to run far away. I can drink it downstairs now.¡± The girl was very happy. The commercial area where the new shop was located was a certain distance from Oxford. ¡°That¡¯s right. We opened another one here because many guests reflected to us that the previous location was too remote,¡± Luo Feng replied with a smile. His smile was like a spring breeze. The girl blushed like a ripe apple and lowered her head in embarrassment. From her infatuated expression, it was obvious that she had fallen for him. ¡°Despicable!¡± Yan Kaize was furious. ¡°He actually used his handsomeness to solicit customers!¡± Boss Yuan wondered if he was possessed. Humans looked like this to begin with. ¡°They seem to have been famous since before the new shop opened. It¡¯s not like you said to guard the small pit.¡± The original boss exposed him mercilessly. Yan Kaize¡¯s route had deviated from the beginning. The rapid development of the Internet was also beneficial to the expansion of the milk tea shop. The reason why Luo Feng could open a shop here was also because of the expectations of the students from the nearby schools. Many of them had heard of Good Me¡¯s reputation, so Luo Feng¡¯s business was booming on the first day. Yan Kaize and Boss Yuan, who were hiding in the dark, fell silent. The original owner glanced at the stunned Yan Kaize. There were many vulgarities in his heart that he wanted to curse. When they reached his mouth, they turned into sighs that saw through the mortal world. A few hours ago, they were still discussing tactics and strategies. Now that they thought about it, it was ridiculous. Indeed, they could not defeat Luo Feng. Yan Kaize¡¯s eyes were blank, and he felt that he was about to become autistic. Coincidentally, Luo Feng saw the two people hiding in the dark. He took the initiative to walk over and greet them. ¡°Senior Yan, what a coincidence to meet you here.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence¡­¡± Yan Kaize replied dryly, not wanting to see Luo Feng¡¯s smug smile at all. Luo Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity. Why did Yan Kaize and the others come as soon as he opened? Hence, he asked, ¡°Senior, are you resting today? Come and take a look at the mall.¡± He could not be here to inquire about the enemy, right? Luo Feng smiled and shook his head, wondering why a veteran businessman like Yan Kaize would use such a childish method. ¡°Hmm¡­ It¡¯s not bad¡­¡± Yan Kaize was vague and did not want to say anything else. Luo Feng¡¯s eyelids twitched. Could it be that his guess had come true? He hesitated and said, ¡°Senior, do you want to open a shop here too?¡± Yan Kaize had a dark expression and did not answer Luo Feng¡¯s question. Beside him, Boss Yuan scratched the back of his head and smiled bitterly. His expression already explained everything. ¡°Could it be that your shop¡­ is already open?¡± Yan Kaize¡¯s expression turned even uglier as soon as these words were spoken. Luo Feng knew that he had guessed correctly. Actually, it made sense when he thought about it. Milk tea was sold to the young people. It was nothing more than lively commercial streets, university cities, or food streets. He chose the same place as Yan Kaize, which proved that their sights were similar. ¡°Then we really think alike.¡± Luo Feng was really happy. Ai Tingya might still be conflicted about whether to expand or not if not for Yan Kaize as a competitor. Then, Luo Feng would have missed out on a larger market and wouldn¡¯t have made so much profit. He looked at Yan Kaize gratefully, feeling from the bottom of his heart that he was a capable and good person. Yan Kaize had goosebumps all over his body. He felt that Luo Feng¡¯s gaze made him even more unhappy. He did not want to think like Luo Feng at all. Luo Feng was simply the greatest stumbling block in his career. ¡°Junior, you expanded your shops quite quickly¡­¡± Yan Kaize said politely. He felt like his face was being slapped. ¡°Senior, do you think it¡¯s fast? Not fast, right? I¡¯m still preparing for the opening of eight moer shops,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Eight?!¡± Yan Kaize¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°That¡¯s right. Let¡¯s try to complete it within this month. Otherwise, we¡¯ll delay the exam.¡± Luo Feng had a cheat that could quickly train his employees, so he only lacked time to prepare everything. Chapter 153 - 153 All Of This Is Thanks To You, Senior! 153 All Of This Is Thanks To You, Senior! Yan Kaize had never doubted Luo Feng¡¯s ability. He only felt that he lacked experience and was naive, so he was confident in winning the competition. When he heard that Luo Feng still had eight milk tea shops waiting to be opened, Yan Kaize felt that he had really become enemies with Luo Feng. Yan Kaize¡¯s idea was to open a few more after the second shop opened normally and occupy the city¡¯s milk tea market first. His expression was complicated as he tried his best to pretend that he did not care. ¡°Eight. Do you have enough funds?¡± At the mention of this, Luo Feng¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°This is all thanks to you, Senior.¡± ¡°What?¡± Yan Kaize didn¡¯t understand. ¡°In the past, I had some money, but I didn¡¯t know how to spend it.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s gratitude to Yan Kaize was indescribable. ¡°Now, I finally have a reason to spend money because of you, Senior!¡± Actually, Ai Tingya did not allow Luo Feng to take risks. She had always been worried that if they invested too much, it would impact their current assets. To put it bluntly, she was overcautious and wanted to make sufficient preparations before starting. But what could be considered adequate preparation? If not for Yan Kaize¡¯s pressure, Ai Tingya might have to continue preparing until they graduate from university. ¡°As expected, we can¡¯t live without Senior¡¯s guidance!¡± Luo Feng said sincerely. ¡°Our next step is to occupy this city¡¯s milk tea market!¡± He thanked Yan Kaize from the bottom of his heart without any other emotions. The milk tea shop near their school was very successful after all. It was very easy for Ai Tingya to feel that she had achieved some results and settle down. This did not match Luo Feng¡¯s ambition. It was not an exaggeration to say that Yan Kaize was pushing Ai Tingya¡¯s determination forward. Yan Kaize went numb. Who the hell wanted the gratitude of their competitors! Ai Tingya walked out of the shop just as Luo Feng was chatting happily. She was originally looking for Luo Feng to go back and help out. When she saw Yan Kaize, Ai Tingya immediately entered a combat state! She held Luo Feng¡¯s arm and stood beside him. ¡°What are you guys talking about?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes locked onto Yan Kaize like a radar, looking like she was not afraid of him. She still remembered that Yan Kaize had plagiarized the plan for Luo Feng¡¯s creative renovation! Worried that Luo Feng would be bullied again, she stood forward a little. The goal was to embolden Luo Feng! Luo Feng looked at her as if he was looking at a kitten baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. She tried her best to widen her eyes. She was really very cute. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We just had a quick chat.¡± Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s head. It was equivalent to pacifying her. ¡°If not for Senior Yan, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to develop to our current scale. Don¡¯t you think so, Senior?¡± When Ai Tingya heard this, she felt that what Luo Feng said made sense and nodded in agreement. Yan Kaize watched from beginning to end and felt even more speechless. Luo Feng was humiliating him, but he could hear the sincerity in his words. However, these words did not sound good no matter how he listened. He looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s infatuated expression. Yan Kaize actually envied Luo Feng for having a beautiful girlfriend who knew how to manage the household. If he also had a virtuous wife, he would not have to work with Boss Yuan! He forced a very conflicted smile. ¡°Junior, don¡¯t be happy too early. A short victory doesn¡¯t mean anything. Let¡¯s wait and see!¡± Yan Kaize¡¯s knowledge and self-restraint required him not to lose his composure. If he lost his aura, he would lose everything. ¡°Tingya, did you hear that? Senior said that we¡¯ve won for now.¡± Luo Feng only listened to what he wanted to hear. ¡°Yes, this is all your credit!¡± Ai Tingya hugged Luo Feng with stars in her eyes. Every part of her body was written with the words ¡°I Really Love Luo Feng¡±. Yan Kaize was stuffed with dog food for no reason. He turned around and left angrily. His stubborn heart kept reminding him, ¡°Let this stupid couple be happy first. The good show is yet to come!¡± In his understanding, the capital he had accumulated was definitely stronger than Luo Feng¡¯s. In a long battle, having money was the true confidence! This competition had just begun! ¡­ Just as Luo Feng had said, after the second milk tea shop was on the right track, he quickly began to deploy the other eight. In less than a month, he opened six more in various bustling commercial areas and near the school. Of course, Yan Kaize was not to be outdone. Not only did he increase his investment to accelerate the expansion, the two of them had similar tastes and chose the same place. Whether they could attack the best shop location as soon as possible depended on whose hand speed was faster. Both of them had their own victories and losses. The shops of both families opened at about the same time. However, reality proved that Luo Feng¡¯s milk tea shop¡¯s turnover increased and stabilized faster. On the Internet, the reputation of Good Me was also constantly expanding, gradually becoming an endless source of customers. Xie Yan¡¯s team also helped to encourage it. Yan Kaize stood in front of the latest branch and looked at the crowded Good Me Milk Tea Shop not far away, making him look even more sorrowful. He persisted for a long time, and for the first time, he was discouraged. ¡°We lost¡­¡± Yan Kaize sighed, his tone filled with helplessness. Boss Yuan, who was at the side, had long seen through the mortal world, as if he had expected this outcome. However, his calm mask cracked when he saw his bank balance. To be honest, he was under more pressure than Yan Kaize and Luo Feng. In order to obtain a competitive advantage, the first milk tea shop had been giving a 50% discount. Coupled with the expenses of opening a new shop, it dealt a heavy blow to the Boss Yuan¡¯s poor family background. However, the opening of the new shop collided with Luo Feng¡¯s side, and a large number of customers were snatched away. It would be difficult for the new shop to recover its capital in a short period of time. The longer they opened it, the more losses they would suffer. Boss Yuan did not dare to look at his phone for the past two days. His heart would ache when he saw the Bank. ¡°Why don¡¯t we stop fighting?¡± He suggested softly. If he cut his losses in time, as long as he did not lose anything, he would be making a profit! They could stop the discount if they gave up fighting with Luo Feng for the guests. At the very least, they could still earn profits. ¡°No!¡± Yan Kaize immediately rejected it. ¡°If we retreat now, we¡¯ll just be giving up the milk tea market. Luo Feng would be a monopoly! He¡¯ll quickly squeeze out our current shops!¡± Boss Yuan did not know what he was still insisting on. He rolled his eyes and fell silent. While Yan Kaize was prepared for a protracted battle, Luo Feng wanted to accelerate the swallowing of the market and had already begun the next step of his plan. During the busy period of expanding the milk tea shop, Luo Feng did not forget to pay attention to the progress of Xie Yan¡¯s team. Basically, he was at the milk tea shop during the day and at Xie Yan¡¯s company at night. Ai Tingya also followed suit. She carried her textbook everywhere she went so that she could take some time to revise. Xie Yan was also very hardworking. He completed the takeaway website according to Luo Feng¡¯s request. ¡°This is the finished product according to what you said. We haven¡¯t had time to operate it.¡± Xie Yan opened an experimental page. ¡°Enter your detailed address here and you¡¯ll be able to see the nearby shops.¡± Chapter 154 - 154 Dont Sweat About The Income, Spend Money! 154 Don¡¯t Sweat About The Income, Spend Money! Xie Yan was quite excited when introducing the website. Luo Feng¡¯s idea collided with his interest. It simply opened up his meridians. His passion for composing was like an endless mountain fire that continuously burned. Following his guidance, Luo Feng managed to operate it easily and realized that it was similar to the website in his previous life. It was very convenient. He said to Ai Tingya, who was reading, ¡°Come and take a look. It¡¯s really awesome!¡± Ai Tingya was a novice on the website. She rarely used her phone to order food, let alone a takeaway website. However, she could get used to it in a few minutes according to the web notification. It meant that anyone who knew how to operate a computer could quickly understand the operation method of the website. ¡°It¡¯s really amazing! You can choose a product without leaving the house.¡± Ai Tingya was in the midst of feeling the novelty. She leaned in front of the computer and browsed non-stop, throwing the books she brought to the back of her mind. Xie Yan was extremely proud when he saw that the results of his labor had been recognized. Luo Feng said, ¡°The website is very well made. Next is the company¡¯s promotion. Tell me your opinion.¡± Just as he had promised at that time, even though Luo Feng took a large portion of the shares, he gave Xie Yan and the others enough autonomy. The important decisions were discussed by everyone. Luo Feng had designated himself as an investor after all. If Xie Yan¡¯s team kept relying on him, it would be very difficult for the work here to continue in the future. Luo Feng was so tired in his previous life. He only wanted to quickly achieve his ultimate goal of being a freeloader to freeload. Xie Yan said, ¡°We¡¯ve printed flyers and will send them out tomorrow morning. The first batch of customers is set at a few nearby universities. In addition, we¡¯re going to find some part-time university students to take on the delivery.¡± They had put in all their effort into the website. Of course, they had considered all aspects. When Ai Tingya heard that they were discussing something, she joined in and felt that Xie Yan¡¯s method was not bad. Young university students were more willing to try new things. It was faster to operate the webpage. The user positioning was very accurate. Even though Xie Yan¡¯s interest was in computers, he did not lag behind in his Professions. Ai Tingya could not help but exclaim at Luo Feng¡¯s foresight. He could accurately find a dual talent like Xie Yan. However, Luo Feng shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the flyers first. I think there¡¯s a problem with the delivery men. We can¡¯t just rely on students to work part-time. It¡¯s unstable.¡± Xie Yan explained, ¡°But it¡¯s cheaper to find students to work part-time. Moreover, they¡¯re all from the nearby area, so it¡¯s much more convenient.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s head hurt when he heard the word ¡°cheap¡±. He analyzed logically, ¡°Think about it. The exam period of the universities will not differ by more than a few days. At that time, the students were busy revising. They might be in need of milk tea in the dormitory library. There are many potential businesses, but we don¡¯t have enough delivery staff. This will affect the customer¡¯s evaluation of the website.¡± Xie Yan was speechless and looked at Ai Tingya beside him. The two of them felt that such a special situation could be treated specially. If they usually used students to work part-time, they would be able to save a lot of money on their salary expense. Luo Feng knew what the two of them were thinking with a light glance. This was also the situation he did not want to see the most. ¡°Xie Yan, do you know why I took a fancy to you guys?¡± Luo Feng changed to a sincere tone that was specially used to feed chicken soup. ¡°Uh¡­ because of our potential?¡± Xie Yan could not follow Luo Feng¡¯s train of thought. Of course, Luo Feng could not say that he had seen their potential index. ¡°Of course it¡¯s not just because of this.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s gaze was burning as he first stirred the atmosphere. ¡°I saw the light of ideal in your eyes, so I chose you!¡± Hearing this, the others in the team also stopped what they were doing and looked up at Luo Feng. ¡°Ah¡­ Oh¡­ You have good taste.¡± Xie Yan felt a little embarrassed. How could Luo Feng tell something that he himself did not feel? Luo Feng grabbed Xie Yan¡¯s shoulder and asked him to look into his eyes and transmit his emotions to him. ¡°Ideals can¡¯t be measured with money. That will only desecrate it! Put down the small ledgers in your hearts. What you should be thinking about is what our company should do!¡± ¡°Such as?¡± ¡°For example, saving cost! We can find university students to work part-time, but that can¡¯t be the main force of the delivery personnel. We need more full-time delivery men!¡± Xie Yan was puzzled. Doing business without considering the cost was no different from committing suicide. Luo Feng said very seriously, ¡°Do you think our company is only thinking about profits? What we have to do is to make the industry better! Takeaway can change the eating habits of the entire country¡¯s residents, create profits for businesses, provide more jobs, and let people have peaceful careers! This is the goal our company is pursuing!¡± ¡°Peace¡­ Peaceful careers.¡± Xie Yan felt that this goal was too ambitious. He did not even dare to think about it. Luo Feng felt that he had already explained in such detail. Why hadn¡¯t Xie Yan caught up? Could it be because he was a rich second-generation heir? Xie Yan really could not keep up with Luo Feng. In his understanding, his parents worked hard to start a business so that they could earn more money and let his family live a good life. That was how he could also obtain a better education and enter a larger school to earn more money in the future. Xie Yan had more dreams than his parents. He felt that he was not so utilitarian in this aspect. Therefore, what Luo Feng said attracted him again and he was being assimilated step by step. ¡°Do we¡­ really have this ability?¡± Xie Yan asked. ¡°Of course!¡± Luo Feng raised his voice, ¡°Therefore, we can¡¯t just look at the small profits in front of us, so we don¡¯t have to think too much about cost. Not only do we have to hire delivery men, but we also have to train them uniformly and give them a full set of guarantees, equipment, and insurance. Only then can we match our company¡¯s development path!¡± Xie Yan felt deep veneration. He did not expect Luo Feng¡¯s ambition to be so great! However, on second thought, he felt that he had to resolve the reality problem first. ¡°But where did we get so much money?¡± ¡°Shh! There are tens of millions of buildings in the Endless Land. All the cold soldiers in the world will be happy!¡± Luo Feng pondered for a moment and continued, ¡°Money is not a problem for you to consider. I can invest as much as we lack. Remember! Our goal is not to earn money, but to make a company that can change the world!¡± Xie Yan was extremely touched by such an impassioned speech. Ai Tingya narrowed her eyes. She felt that she had heard Luo Feng¡¯s comments somewhere before. He seemed to have said the same thing when he opened the milk tea shop previously. ¡°That¡¯s what I told Tingya when we opened the milk tea shop.¡± Luo Feng knew that relying on chicken soup alone was not enough. There had to be an example. ¡°Look at the current situation of our milk tea shop. Be it customers or employees, their faces are filled with happy smiles. We¡¯ve already achieved a small part of our original dream. It¡¯s up to you now!¡± Chapter 155 - 155 Boss, Youre Really Manly! 155 Boss, You¡¯re Really Manly! Luo Feng¡¯s words made Ai Tingya fall into deep thought and bring back memories. If time went back, Ai Tingya would never believe that she could open a milk tea shop chain one day and provide so many people with high-paying jobs. She would still be the trembling orphan girl who only knew how to gnaw on books. Unknowingly, she had really followed Luo Feng¡¯s footsteps towards the future world he described. Now that they had already established themselves in this city, their goal had already expanded to the entire country! ¡°Xie Yan, I¡¯ll tell you what I told Tingya. Tingya believes me. What about you? Is everyone here willing to believe me?¡± Luo Feng ended his speech. ¡°I believe you!¡± The hot-blooded bespectacled boy was the first to respond. ¡°I believe you too!¡± The team members raised their hands one by one, firmly believing Luo Feng¡¯s words. Xie Yan also wanted to follow in Luo Feng¡¯s footsteps, but as the leader, he had to be realistic. ¡°But¡­ This will cost a lot of money. Can you really do it?¡± It was not that he did not believe in Luo Feng¡¯s strength, but Xie Yan had often seen his father sigh at the account book in the past. A single cent could really kill a hero, let alone a bottomless pit like realizing his ideals. Their company was not aiming for profits, but to solve the livelihood of tens of millions of people. This was originally something a country should consider. The country had higher authority and greater mobilization power. There might be insufficient funds, and they could quickly think of a way to turn it around. Luo Feng felt that Xie Yan worried too much. What he wanted was a big investment! The Internet industry was too suitable for his goal. He wanted to burn money! A lot of money! The more he burned, the more money he would have! Actually, Luo Feng knew better than anyone that the profits of the takeaway software were not high. In his previous life, he had seen the overlord of the takeaway industry announce his profit margin. It was indeed not high at less than 5%. Moreover, it was on the basis that the delivery man was extremely cost-saving and increased the price of the food. If they continued to develop according to Luo Feng¡¯s request, their costs would only increase. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to spend all the money.¡± What an understatement and heroic statement. Xie Yan was stunned on the spot. What kind of conditions did Luo Feng have! He admired Luo Feng even more, and he had even more motivation for his future work! Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes were smiling as she stared at Luo Feng¡¯s back, unwilling to look away for a long time. She did not know why, but she felt that the current Luo Feng was dazzling. Ai Tingya liked the high-spirited Luo Feng very much. Xie Yan was extremely excited. He went to Luo Feng¡¯s side and said with deep affection, ¡°Boss, if I were a girl, I would definitely be charmed to death by you. I might even marry you on the spot!¡± This was simply a dangerous statement! Luo Feng raised his hand and slapped his big face away. He walked eagerly to Ai Tingya¡¯s side. ¡°Tingya, I¡¯ll always like you.¡± ¡°Okay ~¡± Ai Tingya nodded in satisfaction. She also liked such an obedient Luo Feng. After laughing, everyone entered the final test of the website and went online at 12 am. Coupled with the double publicity of the offline flier and the milk tea shop, the selling point of milk tea that could be drunk without leaving the house quickly spread in the nearby universities. Not long after, it became a new fashion for young people. When the news reached Yan Kaize¡¯s ears, Luo Feng¡¯s takeaway was already quite famous nearby. ¡°Why did I only hear this news now?¡± Yan Kaize said in disbelief. Boss Yuan and him sat in the shop and suddenly realized that there were many anxious delivery men in uniform on the street. Most of them were carrying Good Me milk tea. The two of them had thick panda eyes. They had been so busy opening new shops recently that they did not have time to sleep. At this moment, they did not even have the strength to be angry. ¡°Our shop¡¯s business is getting worse and worse. The customer flow is less than half of what it was at the beginning of the shop,¡± Boss Yuan said weakly. Originally, he had relied on discounts and sacrificed profits to ensure customer flow. In the end, when the takeaway was released, the customer flow could not be maintained. ¡°The weather is getting colder and colder. Customers are unwilling to go out. It¡¯s reasonable for there to be few customers¡­¡± Yan Kaize analyzed very professionally. But no matter how reasonable he was, the takeaway platform was working well even during different seasons. As the takeaway website was still in the promotional period, Luo Feng asked for the price to be the same online and offline, and there was no delivery fee. The students who were holed up in the dormitory were even more willing to deliver them to their door. Yan Kaize lay on his seat. He was so tired that his slow mind could not process anything. Just as the two of them were in despair, a uniformed delivery man approached the entrance of the milk tea shop with something. He stopped when he got close. He looked at the small ticket in his hand and looked up at the signboard. He scratched his head through his Helmet, looking very puzzled. ¡°May I ask what¡¯s the matter?¡± Yan Kaize walked forward and asked, seeing how he hesitated to enter. When the delivery man saw the person in front of him, he guessed that he might be a boss or supervisor. He quickly hid the things in his hand behind his back and smiled. ¡°Hello, is Mr. Yan Kaize here?¡± ¡°I am.¡± Yan Kaize was very puzzled. The doubts on the delivery man¡¯s face suddenly disappeared when he heard the person in front of him reveal his identity. He generously took out his things and smiled. ¡°This is your order. I wish you a pleasant meal!¡± The delivery man sent over Luo Feng¡¯s milk tea. ??? This time, not only Yan Kaize, but even the employees and the listless original boss noticed the cup of milk tea. Instead of drinking from their own house, he went to order from someone else¡¯s house. Everyone felt betrayed. ¡°No, I¡¯ve never ordered it!¡± Yan Kaize seemed to be holding a hot potato. ¡°We definitely won¡¯t make a mistake after professional training. Mr. Yan Kaize¡¯s name and address are written on the receipt.¡± The delivery man said flirtatiously. It could be seen that he liked this job very much. Yan Kaize opened the receipt and saw that there was actually a message. ¡°Senior Yan, we agreed to treat you and the milk tea. Please try it.¡± Ah¡­ What a familiar sincerity. There was a hint of asking for a beating in his sincerity. Who else could it be but Luo Feng! Yan Kaize looked at Milk Tea and then at the receipt. He felt that he could see Luo Feng¡¯s smug smile from it. Was he announcing victory to him? ¡°Speaking of which, Mr. Yan, you really like this milk tea shop very much.¡± The delivery man praised. ¡°How can you tell?¡± ¡°Why would I order milk tea from another shop in my own milk tea shop if I don¡¯t really like it?¡± The delivery man felt that his logic was very smooth. He could tell from his temperament that Yan Kaize was the boss here. He felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this in front of his employees, so he added, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s also necessary to understand your opponent¡¯s new product. I wish you a pleasant meal.¡± Hearing this, Yan Kaize felt his heart ache. Luo Feng, do you have to be so provocative?! Chapter 156 - 156 Xiao Ya, I Will Always Love You, But I Want To Work For My Boss! 156 Xiao Ya, I Will Always Love You, But I Want To Work For My Boss! In Good Me Milk Tea Shop. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya squeezed in front of the table and took stock of the income of eight milk tea shops. Ai Tingya fiddled with the computer. Every time she clicked on it, she became more excited. The clicking sound of the keys was like the sound of a celebration. ¡°80¡­ 80,000 yuan!¡± Ai Tingya bit her lip excitedly. ¡°The profit of eight shops combined is 80,000 yuan a day!¡± The eight shops were opened at different times. Compared to the location and traffic, the first milk tea shop had the best and most stable business. The first shop alone could earn more than 20,000 yuan a day. The other shops did not have loyal customers because they were new, and the worst shop had a business of four to five thousand yuan. On average, the eight shops could earn 80,000 yuan a day. Xiao Fei looked at the numbers on the computer and almost didn¡¯t recognize the number 0. Her eyes were shining with golden light, and her saliva was circling in her mouth, about to drip down. No, she was not covetous, but happy. The milk tea shop she was the store manager of had the best results. She could obtain a lot of dividends with 1% of the shares. In addition, the store managers of the other shops had been trained by her. Xiao Fei could also get a share of the profits of the other milk tea shops. She counted on her fingers. If she could earn three thousand a day according to her current turnover, that would be 90,000 yuan a month! And this was the most ordinary business situation. In other words, earning 100,000 yuan a month was not a dream! Xiao Fei¡¯s hands trembled with excitement. She pinched the calculator as if she was holding a note and giggled non-stop. ¡°Hahahaha! I¡¯m rich, I¡¯m rich!¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya watched her act foolishly, worried that the child would be blinded by joy. Suddenly, Xiao Fei slammed the table and stood up. She placed her hands on her hips and said, ¡°From today onwards, I, Xiao Fei, am also a successful person who earns 100,000 yuan a month! I¡¯ll see who else dares to bully me in the future! I¡¯ll smash them to death with money!¡± When Ai Tingya heard this, the corners of her mouth fell. She walked to Xiao Fei¡¯s side and hugged her shoulder, patting her heart. If there was anyone in the world who could empathize with Xiao Fei, it would definitely be Ai Tingya. They had been together since they could remember, eating and living together. They were even closer than biological sisters. Of course, Ai Tingya had also encountered the disdainful looks Xiao Fei had suffered as a child of the orphanage. It was even more common for her to be mocked for having no parents. Everyone has lived like this. Over time, most children became numb. Ai Tingya was sensitive and felt inferior and gloomy before meeting Luo Feng. She used this attitude to build a fragile protective armor and worked hard to enrich herself and improve herself with her studies. She was a very talented student. However, the other children were not so lucky. Xiao Fei for example. She did not know if it was natural or if she had not nurtured her habits well in the later stages. Xiao Fei began to feel sleepy the moment she walked into the classroom. She was destined not to be able to take the path of learning. However, she also had a way to protect herself and face everything with her cheerful personality. Others looked at Xiao Fei as if there was nothing that could make her sad. Only Ai Tingya knew how many times Xiao Fei had cried under the blanket. It would be a lie to say that she did not care. She had also imagined lying to herself. However, on closer inspection, she was still brooding about her identity as an orphan. It seemed that it was only today that Xiao Fei was at ease to shed her cheerful disguise. This was because she had earned money! She had real confidence! ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Ai Tingya hugged Xiao Fei. ¡°Our lives will be better in the future!¡± ¡°Xiaoya! I¡¯m destined to be your best friend!¡± Xiao Fei rubbed against Ai Tingya¡¯s arms like a kitten and rambled on about how to spend the money. ¡°What do you want? Sister Fei will buy it for you! Tell me as soon as possible!¡± Luo Feng saw the two of them sticking together. Xiao Fei was still jumping around with her Boss lines. His jealous eyes wished they could turn into ropes and tie the third wheel further away. Ai Tingya¡¯s embrace was Luo Feng¡¯s exclusive seat after all! Perhaps because Luo Feng¡¯s jealousy was too obvious, Xiao Fei tactfully crawled out of Ai Tingya¡¯s arms and said, ¡°Of course, my success depends on Boss Luo Feng. He¡¯s the most important person to me at work!¡± After saying that, she did not forget to wink and did her best to show her loyalty. Xiao Fei whispered into Luo Feng¡¯s ear, thinking that he was whispering, ¡°Boss, don¡¯t worry. When you marry Xiao Ya in the future, I¡¯ll definitely be the first to rush out and open the door for you!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s face was filled with black lines. Didn¡¯t they agree that sisterhood was stronger than the heavens? It had only lasted for a few seconds. Why did she defect to Luo Feng again? ¡°Hey, hey, hey, I heard you.¡± Ai Tingya pretended to be dissatisfied. Xiao Fei was famous for being a bootlicker. Seeing that Ai Tingya was unhappy, she hurriedly patted her chest and said, ¡°Xiao Ya, I¡¯ll always be your best sister!¡± ¡°What about me?¡± Luo Feng began to tease her. ¡°My best boss, my fire of life, my God of the future!¡± Xiao Fei¡¯s eyes were filled with stars as she looked at Luo Feng reverently. Seeing this, Ai Tingya felt that this little lackey, henchman, and lapdog needed to be taught a lesson. Hence, she asked, ¡°What if Luo Feng and I break up? Who will you be with?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Xiao Fei looked at Ai Tingya in disbelief. Aren¡¯t we sisters? Why are you asking me such a question?! She was an orphan with no parents. No matter what, she had to face the f*cking question of ¡°who will you choose to live with now that Mom and Dad are divorced!¡± She had never thought that Ai Tingya and Luo Feng would be separated. Just thinking about it made her feel that she had committed a grave sin. Naturally, she had never thought about it seriously. ¡°Uh¡­ Xiao Ya, you don¡¯t have to do this¡­¡± Xiao Fei only wanted a way out. ¡°Tell me quickly. I want to hear it too.¡± Luo Feng did not forget to fan the flames. ¡°You¡­ What a pair of male and female evil spirits.¡± Xiao Fei pointed her fingers aggrievedly. ¡°Are you bullying me for being single? You forced me to do this!¡± She suddenly grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder and said very seriously, ¡°Xiaoya, I¡¯ll always be on your side!¡± Before Ai Tingya could be touched, she heard Xiao Fei say, ¡°But how can I buy you beautiful clothes and delicious snacks without money?! Therefore, I have no choice but to work at the boss¡¯s place to earn money to support you!¡± Xiao Fei said it very bitterly, but her happy expression had already betrayed her. She really felt that working for Luo Feng was a pleasure. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Ai Tingya did not know if Xiao Fei was really stupid or playing dumb. Her ability to bootlick was getting better and better. Luo Feng saw that the joke was almost over. He said to Ai Tingya, ¡°I¡¯ll go to Xie Yan¡¯s place to take a look. If the time is right, I¡¯ll start recruiting the nearby merchants. I¡¯ll leave it to you two to take care of the shop.¡± ¡°Got it. Go quickly.¡± Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng¡¯s back reluctantly until she could not see him anymore. Seeing this, Xiao Fei thought to herself, You won¡¯t be separated even if the universe explodes. Chapter 157 - 157 Next Development, New Restaurant Emergence On The Platform 157 Next Development, New Restaurant Emergence On The Platform This year¡¯s winter was very cold. The gray sky and the gray city were filled with lifelessness. Pedestrians wrapped in clothes and lowered their heads, hurriedly shuttled past. ¡°Achoo!¡± Luo Feng sneezed and grabbed his collar to prevent the wind from entering. ¡°If I knew it was so cold, I would have taken the milk tea!¡± He shrank his neck and quickened his pace, sneezing non-stop. Luo Feng stood at the door and fought three people in a row until he reached Xie Yan¡¯s company. ¡°It¡¯s so cold¡­¡± He pushed the door open and walked in. He was handed a cup of hot tea. Xie Yan was already prepared to welcome him at the door. Even tea was prepared. ¡°This is too considerate.¡± Luo Feng was a little flattered. He took the cup and drank more than half of it. Warmth flowed into his stomach. He instantly felt alive. ¡°Thank Lady Boss.¡± Xie Yan waved his phone. Other than the revenue of the milk tea shop sent to him by Ai Tingya, there were many instructions. For example, ¡°It¡¯s too cold outside. Luo Feng is wearing thin clothes. Remember to turn up the heater in the company.¡± Or ¡°Please pour Luo Feng a cup of hot tea. He likes it 60% hot¡±¡­ Those who did not know better would think that Luo Feng was going on a long trip. Xie Yan did not expect to be able to eat airdropped dog food while hiding in the office to work overtime on such a cold day. To be honest, it was a little sour! ¡°I¡¯ve embarrassed myself in front of you.¡± Luo Feng was embarrassed and scratched his head. He was most likely too busy walking and had neglected his phone, so Ai Tingya sent it to Xie Yan. It was quite embarrassing to show off their love again. After drinking a cup of hot tea, Luo Feng felt comfortable and said to Xie Yan, ¡°I have something to discuss. Take a seat.¡± Xie Yan also wanted to talk to Luo Feng in the next two days. It had been a month since the online takeaway was launched, and the orders were gradually increasing, especially since the weather was getting colder. It was said that snowy days were more compatible with milk tea, and milk tea had gradually become an indispensable part of life. The takeaway profits of the eight stores added up to about 500,000 a month. Even though it could not compare to offline profits, it was already very good for the website that had only been online for a month. ¡°The milk tea takeaway is almost done. Next, we need to find more merchants and get them to put up the takeaway system. It¡¯s best if we can find all the nearby merchants,¡± Luo Feng said. This was their next development plan. Xie Yan also felt that it was time. ¡°This matter might take a little effort. Our Gather Sift Takeout isn¡¯t very famous after all. Promotion is another effort.¡± The takeaway they created was called ¡°Gather Sift¡±. It was approved by the people of Xie Yan¡¯s company. Originally, they wanted to include the word ¡°Feng¡± in their name to thank Luo Feng for his help. However, this was the same name as Luo Feng¡¯s ¡°Ting Feng Company¡±. In the end, they decided on ¡°Gather Sift¡±, which meant ¡°Gathering around delicious food and sifting through great thoughts¡±. It could be seen that they had high hopes for the takeaway website. ¡°I think someone will be tempted if you give up a portion of the benefits,¡± Luo Feng said. Xie Yan was stuck at this point and did not know how to tell Luo Feng. ¡°If we give up some profits¡­ We might need more investment.¡± If they used more benefits and a more convenient way to sell goods as bait, the merchants would definitely be tempted. However, the profits on the takeaway side would be much lower. Even though they would not lose money, they would not make much money. ¡°Money is not a problem. You don¡¯t have to worry about making a loss. Takeaways have yet to really develop. If we want to establish ourselves, we might have to make a loss.¡± Luo Feng persuaded patiently. Smartphones were not popular yet, and takeaway still existed as a website. In the future, when he created the app and promoted it throughout the country, that would be the true start of burning money. Luo Feng felt that there was no need to worry about money. ¡°Alright,¡± Xie Yan said simply. If the person who paid was not worried, why should he be so cautious as a person who used money? In any case, Xie Yan had gradually calmed down after interacting with him for so long. The Internet industry was still a money burning industry. They were kept alive by Luo Feng. As for future benefits¡­ That was too far away. Xie Yan could not estimate it. At the very least, he had to recover the company¡¯s capital first. The two of them reached a consensus to spend money. Luo Feng added, ¡°By the way, prepare to recruit people. The quality of the personnel is very important for the sake of the brand image.¡± High-quality employees were indispensable if they wanted to successfully promote the takeaway website. Xie Yan¡¯s company might have a lot of people and all of them were talented, but most of them were technical talents. As the saying went, different professions were different worlds. He would rather spend more money to find another professional. ¡°Ah¡­ This¡­¡± Xie Yan¡¯s calm mind fluctuated again. The last time he mentioned money was a minute ago. Recruitment of new employees was another new expense. Even he felt embarrassed. ¡°You don¡¯t have any more money, right?¡± Luo Feng asked. The so-called high-quality professional employees, in other words, were ¡°expensive¡±! Xie Yan nodded in shame. He had taken almost two million yuan from Luo Feng and spent it all in two months. The takeaway had only taken a small step. As a rich second-generation heir, this was the first time he felt that it was shameful to squander. ¡°¡­Yes, we¡¯re out of money.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Luo Feng slapped the table and stood up excitedly. ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you to ask for money. I waited for you but you didn¡¯t come so I thought I might as well come myself today.¡± ??? Xie Yan did not understand why Luo Feng was so excited. Why was he so happy when he took out his money? ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll transfer another 10 million yuan to you.¡± Luo Feng rubbed his hands excitedly. Seeing Xie Yan¡¯s blank expression, ¡°Is 10 million yuan not enough? I¡¯ll transfer more?¡± ¡°No, no, no, no!¡± Xie Yan was afraid that his heart would not be able to withstand it, so he hurriedly stopped Luo Feng. ¡°It¡¯s enough!¡± Xie Yan¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat in the middle of winter. After spending so much time together, he still could not figure out what was going on in Luo Feng¡¯s mind. Why was he so happy to take out the money? Could it be that rich people really have so much free rich? For the first time, Xie Yan doubted his identity as a rich second-generation heir. ¡°Then Boss¡­ Why don¡¯t we talk about the shares again?¡± Xie Yan was a very conscientious worker. Previously, Luo Feng had spent a million yuan to buy shares of the company to help them tide over their difficulties. Now that he had invested 10 million yuan, it was more than enough to buy 10 companies. He did not want Luo Feng to lose out, so he decided to give him some more shares. Xie Yan did not know that Luo Feng hoped to ;ose out in this aspect. This was because the more shares he obtained, the less he would earn back. However, Luo Feng could not not not take them, or it would seem very strange. He did not lack money, nor did he want to use it to waste it. ¡°Uh¡­ Then I¡­ I¡¯ll take another 10%,¡± Luo Feng said unwillingly. ¡°Speaking of which, can our company¡¯s valuation reach 100 million yuan?¡± Xie Yan was at a loss. Their company¡¯s valuation was exactly one million yuan a month ago. How could it increase so quickly? Chapter 158 - 158 Delivery First Experience, Hotpot In The Dormitory 158 Delivery First Experience, Hotpot In The Dormitory ¡°Why don¡¯t we hire an accountant in two days and calculate our company¡¯s valuation? Let¡¯s treat this 10 million yuan as a capital increase first.¡± Luo Feng looked very unhappy. It was not easy to find a new investment partner, but it was not as good as he had expected. He had to find a faster way to earn money. Seeing this, Xie Yan began to plan in his heart. If Luo Feng wanted 10% more shares, it would already be very preferential for Xie Yan. However, Xie Yan did not want to have nothing left and work for Luo Feng. He had to get back a portion of it¡­ After thinking about it, many ways to earn money pointed to the same goal¡ªto go back and discuss it with his rich father. However, Xie Yan quickly put this thought aside. This was because the delivery website had begun to work with nearby merchants. All kinds of things happened one after another, and he was so busy that his feet didn¡¯t touch the ground. There would always be a return for their efforts. After hiring professional salespeople, 80% of the nearby businesses successfully entered the platform. On this weekend, Luo Feng lay in the dormitory leisurely and read. It was too cold outside. The other three roommates were also cooped up in the dormitory and did not go out to play. Yang Bo lost another game. He pushed the keyboard forward in frustration and looked at the others who were playing their own games. ¡°It¡¯s rare that the four of us are free. Let¡¯s go out for a meal.¡± ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng pulled the blanket on his body and changed into a more comfortable reading posture. The phone screen beside the pillow lit up. Luo Feng picked it up and looked at it. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. Ai Tingya was also in the dormitory at this moment, teaching her roommates how to knit. There was even a cute emoji behind it. Luo Feng did not want to waste a single second of this comfortable time cooped up in a warm bed and occasionally sending thoughts to Ai Tingya. Moreover, it was still snowing outside. He would be transcending the tribulation when he went out. What kind of delicacies did he need to eat at this time? ¡°Don¡¯t stay in the dormitory all the time. My dad¡¯s friend opened a hotpot restaurant in the business district ahead. The snowflake meat was transported directly from the ranch. I¡¯ll regret it if I don¡¯t eat it!¡± Yang Bo was a local. He was the first to know if there was anything delicious or fun nearby. He also had a unique understanding of eating. If he said something delicious, it must be very delicious. Ali and Hao Yingqiang were also a little tempted. Coincidentally, it was lunchtime. The two of them had long run out of food. If they could eat meat around the warm hotpot in the middle of winter, just the thought of it was not bad. Seeing that the two of them agreed with his suggestion, Yang Bo could not help but be overjoyed. He walked to Luo Feng¡¯s bed and knocked on the edge of it. ¡°Luo Feng, you value sex over friendship too much. Do you only go out when Ai Tingya calls you out?¡± Hearing this, Luo Feng put down his book and sat up. He said sincerely, ¡°It¡¯s my fault.¡± Yang Bo approved of his attitude of being able to correct his mistakes. He said smugly, ¡°What did you do wrong? Tell us and we¡¯ll help you correct it.¡± ¡°I was wrong to let you have the confidence to compare yourself to my Tingya. Who gave you the courage?¡± Luo Feng raised his eyebrows provocatively. ¡°It seems like you want to do this the hard way. Watch how I deal with you!¡± Yang Bo climbed up the ladder and pulled away the very warm blanket that Luo Feng was covering. ¡°Hehe.¡± Luo Feng was unhurried as he gently tugged at the corner of the blanket with one hand. His elegant muscles were an existence that even a sweater could not hide. After all, he had a perfect figure that had been enhanced. He could maintain a perfect figure even without training. Yang Bo pulled twice but failed. He saw Luo Feng¡¯s calm expression again. He gulped and said, ¡°I entertained an angel unaware, farewell.¡± Luo Feng was about to lie back on the bed and continue being intimate with Ai Tingya when he saw that the three of them looked like they had gone out for a gathering. ¡°Why don¡¯t I treat you to takeout?¡± ¡°What takeaway?¡± Yang Bo had only heard that milk tea had become popular recently. Luo Feng said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I set up a take-out website? Recently, there have been some new gourmet restaurants. I¡¯ll treat you guys.¡± Ali and Hao Yingqiang looked at each other but did not say anything. They both knew that Luo Feng did not lack money and was usually very generous in the dormitory. He often treated them to food. It was just a meal. It was not a big deal to Luo Feng. The atmosphere in their dormitory had always been good. Even though Ali and Hao Yingqiang¡¯s living expenses were relatively tight, they would treat them to some affordable food. No one would mind these details. ¡°We all can. It¡¯s up to you.¡± Ali and Hao Yingqiang had the same opinion. They were eating anyway. Yang Bo didn¡¯t have any other thoughts. Usually, he was straightforward when he interacted with his roommates. Perhaps it was because he had been under a lot of pressure from his studies recently, so he just wanted to make a fool of himself. In addition, he was usually a man of his word and had always been a person with his own opinions. ¡°No, I can¡¯t eat anything except snowflake meat today.¡± Luo Feng also listened to him. As he flipped through the webpage, he said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll order you a portion of snowflake meat.¡± Thanks to Xie Yan and the others¡¯ hard work, there was another hotpot restaurant with a good reputation on the second page. Luo Feng had eaten at the shop before. The quality of the snowflake meat was also very good. It should be able to satisfy Yang Bo. After choosing the dishes, Luo Feng placed an order. Other than wanting to treat his roommates to hotpot on a whim, Luo Feng¡¯s other goal was to test the speed and quality of the delivery service. The four of them waited for half an hour before the delivery man arrived at the dormitory building. He called Luo Feng and asked him to go downstairs to get it. ¡°Sorry, we can¡¯t go up.¡± The delivery man handed a very large bag to Luo Feng and said enthusiastically, ¡°Have a good meal.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Luo Feng was a little surprised when he first saw the portion of ingredients. It was as if he was carrying a huge box. The delivery man¡¯s speed and attitude were very good. Delivery men were trained before they joined. There was also an assessment at the end of every month. If they received a bad review, it would directly affect their salary for the month. Therefore, every delivery man¡¯s attitude was very good, and the customers gave them good reviews in return. Luo Feng was very satisfied with this. He carried the ingredients back to the dormitory. ¡°I brought them back.¡± Ali and Hao Yingqiang came over curiously. When they opened the bag, they exclaimed, ¡°Are takeaways so advanced nowadays?¡± Not only was there fresh meat and vegetables in the bag, but there was also a large bag of hotpot oil, a disposable pot, and a small stove. It was also equipped with enough solid alcohol to make it easier to cook and eat in the dormitory. Hao Yingqiang helped to put the things on the table while reading the instruction manual carefully. He wanted to make the first gathering in the dorm perfect. Ali also helped to set up a small table in the middle of the room. The two of them found everything strange, and the more they read, the happier they became. Yang Bo sat in front of his table, unmoved. ¡°It¡¯s so grand. How can it be better than the restaurant?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t just sit there,¡± Hao Yingqiang called out. ¡°Come, come, this is your seat. Come and eat.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Yang Bo crossed his arms and said very arrogantly, ¡°You guys, eat by yourselves!¡± Chapter 159 - 159 Dinner In The Dormitory, Nothing Would Come Out From Being Reserved 159 Dinner In The Dormitory, Nothing Would Come Out From Being Reserved In the dormitory, Luo Feng and the other two guarded the small table. Yang Bo sat alone at his table and picked up a book to pretend to study. Luo Feng opened the lid of the Tupperware container and poured the original soup into the matching disposable pot. Then, he ignited the solid alcohol. After a while, the bright red hotpot soup began to bubble. The fragrant and spicy smell immediately filled the dormitory. Luo Feng and the other two generously poured vegetables into the pot and added what they liked. Multiple fragrances overlapped. Yang Bo, who was pretending to be unintentionally, twitched his nose and could not help but secrete saliva. His throat moved up and down as he silently scolded himself for being spineless. In order not to show that he was so greedy, he silently moved closer to the window. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat, I don¡¯t want to eat.¡± Yang Bo hypnotized himself. He held the book and recited silently, ¡°I love studying. Learning makes me happy.¡± Luo Feng and the other two were focused on the pot. ¡°Is this cooked?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s edible now.¡± Ali and Hao Yingqiang were especially excited, like puppies waiting to put food in. They were obedient and impatient. Luo Feng was afraid that they would have diarrhea if they ate raw food, so he knew that the food was all cooked before he handed the chopsticks to the two of them. Then, he looked up at Yang Bo, who was about to move to the balcony, and said, ¡°Yang Bo, let¡¯s eat together.¡± Yang Bo¡¯s back was facing the three of them as he said reservedly, ¡°No, this hotpot is not as good as the one I mentioned.¡± ¡°Hehe!¡± Hao Yingqiang pinched his chopsticks and laughed. ¡°If you don¡¯t eat, then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony with the snowflake meat that Luo Feng specially ordered!¡± As he spoke, he picked up a large piece and placed it in the bowl. He wrapped it in sticky paste and hurriedly blew on it twice. He wrapped it all in his mouth. Rich oil splashed in his mouth. It was hot and fragrant. Hao Yingqiang¡¯s mouth was extremely busy. He had to blow on the meat to cool it down, but he couldn¡¯t control himself and chewed the meat to his heart¡¯s content. ¡°Delicious! Delicious!¡± He praised repeatedly. ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten such tender meat! Yangbo, are you really not eating?¡± ¡°The snowflake meat needs to be boiled in clear soup to retain the fragrance of the meat. The hotpot ingredients have completely occupied the taste.¡± Yang Bo swallowed his saliva and tried his best to show that he was not interested at all. ¡°Is that so?¡± Luo Feng humbly accepted the suggestion. ¡°Then let¡¯s order the Mandarin Duck Wok1 next time.¡± ¡°Sure, sure.¡± Ali raised both hands and agreed. A second later, he quickly put it down and picked up a piece of mutton from the pot. He had been eyeing this piece for a long time, so he quickly put it in his mouth. The hotpot was fragrant and spicy. It was spicy and refreshing. The three of them ate until they were sweating. They simply took off their jackets and ate as much as they could. Yang Bo was holding his book. When he heard the sound of food being eaten, he did not read a single word. In order to avoid the fragrance, he was already standing at the balcony door. It was only a wall away from the cold outside. He was starving and cold, and his stomach was rumbling. Was he eating so happily on purpose? Yang Bo regretted it. If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have held back. When Luo Feng called him first, he should have gone over and picked up his chopsticks. Luo Feng, even if you shout again, I¡¯ll be right there. I¡¯ll definitely praise your hotpot. Look at me! Unfortunately, Luo Feng could not hear Yang Bo¡¯s thoughts. He ate happily and suddenly put down his chopsticks. ¡°If only I had another cup of coke at this time.¡± This was the first time he had cooked hotpot in the dormitory, so he didn¡¯t have any experience. If he could eat meat and drink cold drinks in big mouthfuls, he wouldn¡¯t have any regrets in life. ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± ¡°Next time.¡± Ali and Hao Yingqiang were busy picking up food and responding to Luo Feng. ¡°You don¡¯t have it, but I do!¡± At this moment, another person¡¯s answer came from the door. Luo Feng turned around and saw the boy from the neighboring dormitory. He stuck his head out and smiled at them, holding half a dozen Cokes in his hand. His name was Rui Li, and he was in the same class as Yang Bo. Rui Li often visited Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory and everyone was very familiar with each other. He did not stand on the ceremony and entered the house. He rubbed his hands and squatted by the small table. ¡°You guys are too much. Why didn¡¯t you invite us to eat hotpot?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± After Rui Li finished speaking, a few more heads popped out from the door. They were all Rui Li¡¯s roommates. They had most likely smelled the fragrance of the hotpot and came over. ¡°Want to eat together?¡± Luo Feng did not mind. Everyone was having a good time and would share the delicious food. Yang Bo looked at the pot. There were still some things left. If Rui Li and the others didn¡¯t come, he might be able to pick up a few mouthfuls. Looking at the hungry wolf-like gazes of his classmates, Yang Bo instantly became anxious. ¡°There¡¯s only a pair of chopsticks left. There¡¯s not enough for the four of you.¡± ¡°No!¡± Rui Li smiled shyly and took out a fork and a small lunch box from his pocket. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this, hehe.¡± Yang Bo¡¯s scalp went numb from his actions. Why did he bring his own cutlery to freeload? The others also showed their cutlery at the same time and quickly surrounded the small table, their eyes shining. When Luo Feng saw this, he thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had ordered enough today. Otherwise, it would not have been enough for a few people to share. Rui Li picked up a piece of pork rib, not caring if it was hot or not, he directly held it in his hand and nibbled until his mouth was full of oil. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yang Bo looking at him. ¡°Why are you standing there? Aren¡¯t you coming to eat with us?¡± Rui Li asked in surprise. Without waiting for Yang Bo to answer, Hao Yingqiang smiled and said, ¡°Yang Bo wants to eat boiled snowflake meat. Maybe he thinks the taste is too strong.¡± ¡°Oh, oh.¡± Rui Li finished the soup on the bone and said, ¡°It¡¯s not a good habit to be picky.¡± Yang Bo felt his heart ache. Not only did he not get to eat the hotpot in his dormitory, but he was also misunderstood by his classmates in the dormitory next door as a picky eater. If he had known earlier, he would not have pretended to be cool. He had brought this upon himself. Luo Feng saw his pained expression. It was really unbearable to watch. The hotpot was about to run out. If he still did not come to eat, he would have to wait for the next time. ¡°Yang Bo, are you really not eating? If you don¡¯t eat now, there won¡¯t be any left.¡± Yang Bo suddenly raised his head and felt an angelic glow on Luo Feng¡¯s face. He had stood there and glared for so long before Luo Feng finally spoke! ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll just try the taste.¡± Picking up his chopsticks, Yang Bo didn¡¯t forget to save some face. ¡°If it¡¯s delicious, I¡¯ll treat you guys to a meal at the restaurant next time.¡± He picked up the last pair of chopsticks and put a small piece of snowflake meat into his mouth. The fat of the meat had been soaked in spices. It was soft and fragrant, and the spicy taste stimulated his appetite. The delicious Yang Bo was about to cry. When one piece entered his stomach, Yang Bo felt an unprecedented satisfaction in his heart. He wanted to pick up another piece to eat, but the others put down their chopsticks and forks and said the cruelest thing Yang Bo felt: ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± Yang Bo looked down and saw that the pot was already empty! The chopsticks hanging in the air trembled slightly, unable to believe his eyes. Chapter 160 - 160 Roommate, Are You Still Recruiting Part-Timers? 160 Roommate, Are You Still Recruiting Part-Timers? Yang Bo only ate a piece of meat, then there was nothing left in the pot! He felt like a little girl selling matches. He had only touched a little bit of happiness, and then it was gone. Everything was gone! Yang Bo held the pot, and for the first time, he understood what it meant to be heartbroken! After the others were full, they sat at the side and studied the things that brought them happiness. Ali looked at the delicious food on the webpage and nodded repeatedly. ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s takeout software is not bad. Even hotpots can be delivered.¡± Everyone was very full and did not react to the exquisite pictures. Yang Bo was still hungry. He squeezed through the crowd and chose a fried chicken restaurant. He crazily added chicken wings and burgers to the shopping cart for up to 150 yuan. It seemed to be enough for two people. ¡°Yangbo, aren¡¯t you ordering a little too much?¡± Ali said shakily. Why did he feel that Yang Bo was a little abnormal? ¡°I¡¯m hungry!¡± Yang Bo finally stopped pretending. ¡°I only took a bite of the hotpot¡­¡± ¡°Oh, okay, go ahead. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore¡­¡± Ali moved aside, feeling that something was about to happen to him. Before he could take a step, his clothes were suddenly grabbed by someone. He turned around and saw Yang Bo glaring at him resentfully. Or rather, he was glaring at everyone in the dormitory. ¡°What do you want to eat? My treat!¡± Yang Bo said faintly. Normally, Ali was sure that the fly would start to choose what it wanted to eat. But today, he had just eaten his fill, and the food in his stomach was almost in his throat. ¡°You can order it yourself.¡± Ali wanted to break free from Yangbo¡¯s hand. ¡°No! I can¡¯t finish all of them!¡± Yang Bo refused to give up. ¡°Then don¡¯t order too much!¡± ¡°The variety is too simple. No, you have to eat with me!¡± Yang Bo¡¯s attitude of treating everyone to a meal was very unyielding, as if he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave the house if he didn¡¯t eat. His eyes swept across everyone¡¯s faces bit by bit. ¡°I told you guys to leave me a piece of meat. Today, I¡¯ll treat you guys to your fill!¡± Yang Bo wanted to use fried chicken to take revenge for the hotpot. Everyone had to support themselves against the wall and leave! While Yang Bo was crazily choosing fried chicken, Luo Feng walked to the window and opened it to blow on the smell in the room. It was not bad to eat hotpot and enjoy the cold wind. At this moment, Hao Yingqiang walked behind Luo Feng and said, ¡°Luo Feng, are you free?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng nodded. Hao Yingqiang was a good-tempered little fatty and spoke his mind. However, now that he was facing Luo Feng, he suddenly became shy. His eyes darted around, and he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng asked suspiciously. Hao Yingqiang was silent for a moment before mustering his courage and saying, ¡°Luo Feng, I just saw the recruitment advertisement on the web page. Do you accept part-timers?¡± ¡°Sure, but what do you want to do?¡± Luo Feng asked. The delivery website was targeted at nearby university students, so it also placed the recruitment information of the delivery man at the bottom. However, Luo Feng¡¯s company was short of people. He understood Hao Yingqiang and agreed with his standards. If he really wanted to work part-time, Luo Feng felt that he could let Hao Yingqiang enter the company. ¡°I want to be a delivery man,¡± Hao Yingqiang said. ¡°¡­Hmm¡­ Are you sure?¡± Luo Feng said seriously. ¡°There are other better part-time jobs in the company. Are you sure?¡± If he joined the company and worked part-time, even if Hao Yingqiang had experience after graduation, it would be a bonus for him to find a job in the future. Therefore, Luo Feng was more inclined to let him enter the company. Even though he was only in his first year, it was not a very complicated job. He would be able to learn it after a while. ¡°Yes!¡± Hao Yingqiang was also very serious. Luo Feng thought about it. Compared to entering the company, taking out food and working part-time earned more than working part-time. ¡°Are you short of money?¡± Luo Feng asked. Ali, who had just escaped from Yang Bo¡¯s claws, came over and said sourly, ¡°Luo Feng, you still don¡¯t know? Hao Yingqiang has a girlfriend!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised. After ordering the fried chicken, Yang Bo also came over. Seeing this, the students in the neighboring dormitory quietly opened the door and left. They couldn¡¯t eat anything else. The three of them gathered together and looked at Hao Yingqiang expectantly. ¡°We¡¯re¡­ we¡¯re not officially together yet¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang scratched his face shyly. ¡°It¡¯s almost the same as being together. I even saw that girl reserve a seat for Hao Yingqiang. She even bought a cup of milk tea for Hao Yingqiang last time!¡± Ali continued to say, ¡°That girl must be interested in you!¡± Ali usually went to the library with Hao Yingqiang many times, so he had seen Hao Yingqiang¡¯s pink moments many times. ¡°How did you meet him? Tell us!¡± Yang Bo was very curious. When Yang Bo was in high school, he was known as the ¡°Casanova Prince¡±. He originally wanted to be the first person in the dormitory to leave singlehood, but unfortunately, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had been dating since high school. No matter what, he was the second. However, he had been in university for almost half a year and had yet to find a girlfriend. Instead, it was Hao Yingqiang who beat him to it. He had to listen to the process carefully! ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just explained the questions to her a few times.¡± Hao Yingqiang was a little proud when he spoke. In the past, he only knew that knowledge could change one¡¯s fate. He did not expect to be able to get out of singlehood. Hao Yingqiang told them about the process of getting to know her and also the reason for getting his part-time job. ¡°You have to be more generous when wooing girls. My living expenses and food are alright, but I might not be able to buy her anything.¡± Hao Yingqiang¡¯s family background was average. He heard that his parents were ordinary office workers, and he had a younger brother. His family was a little burdened, so he rarely asked his family for money. ¡°My company is also short of people. The salary and treatment are not bad,¡± Luo Feng said righteously. ¡°Without the wind and rain, it¡¯s actually similar to taking out food part-time.¡± After all, takeout was really tough. He would help his brother as much as he could. ¡°No need, no need. You don¡¯t have to take special care of me.¡± Hao Yingqiang quickly refused. ¡°Besides, I actually hope to have more freedom during working hours¡­¡± He lowered his head in embarrassment. Luo Feng instantly understood. This was because his girlfriend could be summoned at any time and appear at any time. He expressed his understanding and support. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you a phone number. Just say my name when you go. They¡¯ll arrange it for you.¡± ¡°Thank you, Luo Feng.¡± Hao Yingqiang was very happy. In any case, the delivery man was recruiting at any time. As the company developed, more people were needed. Hao Yingqiang needed this position, so Luo Feng did not say anything. After cleaning up the leftovers, the fried chicken that Yang Bo had ordered arrived. Other than Yang Bo, the other three barely ate a few mouthfuls before hiding on the bed. Luo Feng picked up his phone and found a new message. After becoming the boss, he almost never left his phone. He didn¡¯t want to miss any contact. He hurriedly opened it and realized that it was from Mother Luo. ¡°BrAt, I called you but you didn¡¯t answer. Your father and I are coming to see you. Remember to pick us up! By Your Beloved Mother!¡± Chapter 161 - 161 Luos Parents Arrived, First Meeting With The In-laws 161 Luo¡¯s Parents Arrived, First Meeting With The In-laws At the airport. Luo Feng took a taxi early and waited at the exit. The clock on the wall ticked by. Luo Feng waited quietly for a while before two familiar figures appeared in the crowd. Father Luo and Mother Luo had bags of various sizes on them. Each of them carried a bag in each hand. It was as if they wanted to move their home over. From afar, they looked like two Christmas trees. ¡°Dad, Mom, why did you bring so many things?¡± Luo Feng hurriedly took his bag and realized that the two of them were dragging a box behind them. Luo Feng could not imagine how these things had passed the security check. Even smuggling did not have such a big scene. ¡°What¡¯s inside?¡± Luo Feng could not help but be curious. What could they bring? Mother Luo was overjoyed to see her son, whom she had not seen for a long time. In particular, Luo Feng seemed to have become much more handsome. He was in high spirits and was very eye-catching just by standing. She opened a bag happily and said, ¡°Your father and I feel that you hadn¡¯t been home for a long time, so we brought you some local specialties.¡± Seeing his mother searching in his bag, Luo Feng suddenly felt a lump in his throat. In the past, he did not feel anything when he was at home. After he went to university and stayed in the dormitory, he realized how meticulous his mother usually took care of him. With so many things by his side, the two elders must have suffered a lot. She felt that her parents loved her even more now that she had left home. Indeed, distance was the only way to create beauty. ¡°Look, this is the pickled vegetables that Dean Du personally made. She said that Tingya likes it and asked me to bring more for her.¡± ¡°Also, these are the clothes I bought for Tingya. I think she¡¯s especially suitable for this color. It¡¯s a pity that we can¡¯t bring the skincare products we bought at home. I¡¯ll send them over later. Remember to give them to her.¡± ¡°This is the roast duck from East Street. I specially vacuum-packed it. Tingya used to like this dish the most at home.¡± As Luo Feng listened to his mother introduce the items one by one, he labeled them all as Ai Tingya¡¯s. So special products were specially brought for Tingya?! The more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. Speechless, he said, ¡°Mom, what did you bring me?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mother Luo paused in her actions of taking out her bag. She gently pulled out a pair of white socks from the side and said, ¡°It¡¯s cold here in winter. I bought you thick socks.¡± Luo Feng saw the heart on the sock. If it wasn¡¯t pink, he would really believe it. Socks are for Tingya, right?! You guys didn¡¯t prepare anything for yourselves, did you?! Father Luo saw through the emotions in his son¡¯s eyes. He elbowed Mother Luo and said softly, ¡°Our son is going to be jealous again.¡± ¡°You¡¯re already an adult, yet you¡¯re still jealous.¡± Mother Luo was overjoyed. She said seriously, ¡°Daddy and Mommy have brought you a unique gift!¡± ¡°What!¡± Luo Feng was filled with anticipation. Mother Luo opened her arms and said righteously, ¡°We came to the school to see you personally. Isn¡¯t that a surprise?!¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Luo Feng mercilessly took the travel box and left. How could this be called a gift? Only his own mother could say it¡­ He should have known his parents¡¯ personality long ago. He had been too stupid to be full of anticipation just now! ¡°Hey, child, aren¡¯t you happy that Daddy and Mommy are here?¡± Mother Luo chased after Luo Feng and couldn¡¯t help but scold him. ¡°Of course I¡¯m happy.¡± Luo Feng smiled helplessly. In fact, he would have been very happy if it weren¡¯t for the previous foreshadowing. After all, his parents had taken the trouble to visit him with bags of various sizes, even though none of the things in the bags were his. Recalling how he had fought against the illness alone in his previous life, this special mission was really precious. ¡°I don¡¯t have class tomorrow, so I¡¯ll bring you around.¡± Luo Feng already had a few places to visit. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Your father and I made a travel guide before we came. You should study hard and strive to marry Tingya as soon as possible.¡± Mother Luo smugly took out a small notebook from her pocket. Luo Feng looked at it with mixed feelings. So you guys are here for a vacation and visiting is just a matter of convenience, right! The three of them walked out of the airport. Luo Feng thought of something important and stopped in his tracks. He took out his phone and said, ¡°By the way, I haven¡¯t told Tingya that you¡¯re here. Let¡¯s have dinner tonight.¡± ¡°No, no, no!¡± Mother Luo hurriedly grabbed her son¡¯s hand. ¡°We¡¯re here to celebrate Tingya¡¯s birthday. Won¡¯t there be no surprise if you tell her now?!¡± Alright, even the special trip was for Ai Tingya. Luo Feng only benefited from it. However, he was still very touched. After all, his mother really treated Ai Tingya as a family. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bring you guys to your place first.¡± Luo Feng smiled. He didn¡¯t go to the new bungalow, but went to the small courtyard house next to Ai Zhaojiang. Even though Ai Tingya always stayed in the dormitory and rarely returned to her new home, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn¡¯t have a sudden impulse one day. If his parents were discovered, the surprise they had prepared would be ruined. The three of them arrived at the four-part architecture area. Luo Feng was helping his parents get out of the car and luggage when Ai Zhaojiang suddenly walked out of the courtyard. Ai Zhaojiang heard a commotion next door and knew that Luo Feng had definitely come. He held the courtyard door and said, ¡°Luo Feng is here. Where¡¯s Tingya?¡± He was stunned when he saw two middle-aged men behind Luo Feng. ¡°Professor Ai, these are my parents,¡± Luo Feng introduced. ¡°Dad, Mom, this is Professor Ai. He¡¯s Tingya¡¯s grandfather.¡± Mother Luo covered her mouth in surprise. She widened her eyes and asked Luo Feng, ¡°Really? Tingya found her family?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We didn¡¯t expect such a coincidence,¡± Luo Feng said with a smile. If Luo Feng was ranked first, Mother Luo would definitely be ranked second. In the past, when she heard that Ai Tingya was an orphan, Mother Luo¡¯s heart ached every time she saw her, so she was especially concerned about Ai Tingya. Mother Luo suddenly became busy. ¡°Hello, Professor Ai. It¡¯s our first time meeting¡­ Aiya, look, I didn¡¯t even prepare any gifts. I shouldn¡¯t have done this.¡± Ai Zhaojiang thought to herself that Luo Feng¡¯s parents were too enthusiastic. They even wanted to give him a gift. ¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony. We¡¯ll be neighbors in the future.¡± Mother Luo didn¡¯t know that Luo Feng had bought the courtyard house. She thought that it was just a temporary residence that Luo Feng had rented. After all, the person living beside him was Ai Tingya¡¯s grandfather. When she heard this, she didn¡¯t mind having a closer relationship. Even though Ai Zhaojiang was usually very unhappy with Luo Feng because he always competed with him for Ai Tingya¡¯s attention, Ai Zhaojiang still admired Luo Feng¡¯s ability. In front of Father and Mother Luo, he also praised, ¡°Luo Feng is a good child and has taken good care of our Tingya. I often hear my granddaughter mention you guys. I¡¯m very grateful for your care.¡± When Mother Luo heard that Ai Zhaojiang approved of Luo Feng so much, she immediately smiled. ¡°That¡¯s true. We¡¯ll be family from now on. We won¡¯t stand on ceremony and call you in-laws.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s smile froze. What? In-laws? I haven¡¯t agreed to it yet! Why do all of them want to snatch my granddaughter away from me? He clutched his chest and tried his best to maintain his smile. Chapter 162 - 162 Marriage Proposal At The Same Time As The Birthday Celebration 162 Marriage Proposal At The Same Time As The Birthday Celebration When Mother Luo saw Ai Zhaojiang, she was extremely enthusiastic. ¡°Previously, when we were in our hometown, we heard that Tingya had found her Grandpa and was happy for her for a long time! From now on, we¡¯re family. Luo Feng has to call you Grandpa too.¡± Ai Zhaojiang expressed that he didn¡¯t really care. Mother Luo felt that she had a good conversation with Ai Zhaojiang and felt that today was a good day. She said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s just nice that we met today. As the head of the family, we can also settle the children¡¯s matters and get them engaged. It¡¯s also a good start to things so that everyone can be at ease, right?¡± Ai Zhaojiang really couldn¡¯t feel at ease! He did not want to be polite at all. He was afraid that the politeness on the surface would be taken as tonic by Mother Luo. Why did all of them want to snatch his granddaughter from him? Ai Zhaojiang felt that his granddaughter was too obedient and cute. It was also a sweet burden. Mother Luo didn¡¯t notice Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s resistance. She took two steps forward and said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Ai Zhaojiang was really scared of her. Why did he have to know the answer? When he faced Luo Feng, he could still glare at him. While he was unforgiving on the surface, he already treated Luo Feng as his grandson-in-law after all. At least he had an elder¡¯s position here. Moreover, it was his child. It was fine to say a few words. However, when the other party was Father and Mother Luo, Ai Zhaojiang only felt aggrieved. It seemed that other than smiling bitterly, he had no other way to deal with it. Moreover, they had come all the way from their hometown and had been thinking about his granddaughter. Ai Zhaojiang had also heard from Ai Tingya that she had been taken care of by Mother Luo and treated her even better than Luo Feng. Ai Tingya would sigh from time to time. If Mother Luo hadn¡¯t taken good care of her during the most stressful period in the Third High School, allowing her to have nothing to worry about anything other than studying, she might not have been able to get into the university she was in now. In other words, Mother Luo played a huge role in Ai Tingya¡¯s reunion with Ai Zhaojiang in this city. Therefore, other than being aggrieved, he was still aggrieved! ¡°In-law, let me tell you. Don¡¯t worry and hand Tingya over to our family. I¡¯ve always treated her as my biological daughter.¡± The more Mother Luo spoke, the more engrossed she became. She felt as if the marriage would be completed soon. She simply walked up to Ai Zhaojiang and said, ¡°In the past, I was thinking of getting them engaged first. After all, I wouldn¡¯t be willing to let another family take a fancy to such a good girl. However, when I thought about how Tingya was still young, I was afraid of scaring her. I asked Director Du, but she said to listen to Tingya¡¯s opinion. The engagement can be discussed easily with you, her grandpa. Hahaha.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was really scared to death. ¡°Ahem! Actually, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to be in such a hurry. I just met Tingya and want to spend more time with her. Besides, they¡¯re still studying. There¡¯s no hurry¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang felt that if he didn¡¯t say anything, his granddaughter would be taken away! Mother Luo persevered and said, ¡°We¡¯re just getting them engaged. It won¡¯t affect Tingya from staying by your side until they graduate¡­ Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Mother Luo felt that there was a need to work hard on today¡¯s matter. Didn¡¯t her son complain that she didn¡¯t bring him a gift? Could there be a bigger gift than this if the marriage was settled? Of course not! Ai Zhaojiang clearly didn¡¯t want to continue the conversation. No matter what Mother Luo said, he would not back down. He just couldn¡¯t bear to! Mother Luo¡¯s saliva almost dried up from talking. Ai Zhaojiang was unmoved. He was like an iron plate that couldn¡¯t hear nor see. He would pretend that this wasn¡¯t discussed at all! Seeing that Ai Zhaojiang was abnormally decisive, Mother Luo turned to look at Luo Feng. Suddenly, she had a plan. She pulled Luo Feng over and pushed him forward. ¡°Professor Ai, what do you think of my son?¡± She was like a newly hired salesman, enthusiastic and proactive. ¡°Uh¡­ he¡¯s not bad¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang was confused. Was she trying to make him relent by praising her son? ¡°That¡¯s good!¡± Mother Luo was waiting for Ai Zhaojiang to say this. ¡°When Tingya enters our family, Luo Feng will also be your eldest grandson. You¡¯ll have a good grandson all of a sudden. You just have to enjoy life!¡± ¡°¡­ I¡¯ve been lonely for most of my life. I¡¯m already very satisfied to have a granddaughter,¡± Ai Zhaojiang said. After saying this, Luo Feng felt that his mother¡¯s gaze had changed. It had become especially disdainful and expected better from someone. Mother Luo sighed. She really didn¡¯t expect that her silly son would be undesirable one day. She had sent him to the door for free, but he didn¡¯t want it. She didn¡¯t know if he usually performed well. How would he be able to marry Tingya like this?! Luo Feng was really innocent. He was such a talented person, but why were the two of them looking at him with disdain? He felt the need to make a big move. ¡°Actually, I think Tingya¡¯s opinion is more important. Professor Ai¡­ doesn¡¯t he respect his granddaughter too?¡± Hearing this, Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s eyelids twitched twice. He had a bad feeling. Luo Feng rubbed his chin and thought very seriously. ¡°Mom, if I propose to Tingya in public when we celebrate her birthday, she should agree, right?¡± Mother Luo¡¯s eyes lit up and she gave him a thumbs up. This method was very good! Ai Zhaojiang covered his chest. He felt that Luo Feng was trying to anger him to death! Compared to Mother Luo¡¯s enthusiastic attacks, Luo Feng was too ruthless! The more Luo Feng thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. ¡°propose, get engaged,register the marriage immediately when we are of age! From soup to nuts, it can save us a lot of trouble.¡± Mother Luo slapped her thigh. ¡°As expected of my good son. He¡¯s creative! There are still a few days left. We can hurry up and prepare!¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s face darkened when he heard the mother and son conspiring loudly. He understood one thing very well. Ai Tingya really liked Luo Feng. If she was at the right age, she would want to enter the marriage hall immediately. The happy and harmonious life of the grandfather and granddaughter seemed to have gained an extra seat. Luo Feng would definitely squeeze into the middle! Then, it would be no different from now! Luo Feng looked at Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s on the brink of tears expression and felt that the old man was a little easy to fool. He would not take Ai Tingya away immediately. ¡°Professor Ai, we¡¯re just getting engaged. There are still a few years before we get married. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Ai Zhaojiang glanced at Luo Feng and didn¡¯t feel comforted. He had completely lost interest in talking. He said goodbye to Father and Mother Luo and went back into the house in a daze. Upon seeing his lonely back view, Mother Luo said, ¡°It seems like he really dotes on Tingya. He can¡¯t bear to let go no matter what. Come to think of it, they have only met. He¡¯s just an old man. I don¡¯t know how he managed to survive in the past.¡± At this point, she looked at Luo Feng and said, ¡°You have to be filial to Professor Ai in the future.¡± Chapter 163 - 163 The Unconfident Zhou Teng Mustered His Courage! 163 The Unconfident Zhou Teng Mustered His Courage! In the milk tea shop, Ai Tingya was sitting in a corner with her laptop in her arms, concentrating on the company¡¯s matters. Even though Luo Feng had rented an office building as an office location, Ai Tingya rarely went there. Instead, she stayed in the milk tea shop most of the time. She could not help greet customers and make milk tea like before because of something. Until now, her heart was still on the milk tea shop. She felt that the company could only be considered a logistics department and was mainly in charge of the company¡¯s normal operations. Even though the shop was very noisy, Ai Tingya felt at ease listening to the sounds from it. Especially since Xiao Fei and the rest were also there. She could chat with familiar people when she was tired. Ai Tingya liked this kind of relaxation mode very much. Now, as the lady boss of the milk tea chain, she was more like a scenery in the shop. When some regular customers saw Ai Tingya, they would take the initiative to greet her and chat with her. They would talk about the taste of the latest product and give some feedback. Everyone liked serious pretty girls after all. Gradually, everyone knew that the seats in the corner were reserved for the lady boss. Ai Tingya carefully browsed through last month¡¯s report and the changes in the company¡¯s personnel. She did not notice that a pair of eyes had been staring at her for a long time. The boy who peeped at Ai Tingya was called Zhou Teng, a first-year student from the university next door. He was wearing the latest design of Gucci this winter. Anyone who knew a little about branded goods could tell at a glance that Zhou Teng¡¯s clothes added up to 20,000 yuan, not to mention the brand new Porsche car key hanging on his waist. People dressed in branded clothes squeezed into the line of students to buy milk tea. It felt like they were carrying branded bags to the wet market. Many people who passed by Zhou Teng couldn¡¯t help but look at him. He also became the second scenery in the milk tea shop after Ai Tingya. However, Zhou Teng shrugged his shoulders and shrunk his neck, feeling very uncomfortable with the gazes of the others. The other two students beside him kept pushing him and saying, ¡°Straighten your back! If you want to be confident, you have to pay attention to your posture first!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Show off your new clothes and let everyone see its logo. Its value! Be more flamboyant and take a step forward.¡± The two students were like parents who expected better from someone. They taught Zhou Teng how to be confident step by step. Zhou Teng¡¯s eyes were fixed on Ai Tingya and he didn¡¯t pay much attention to the students who were posing for him. It was only when the two girls who walked past him covered their mouths and snickered that Zhou Teng¡¯s ears turned red. ¡°Aiya, stop messing around. Line up properly!¡± Zhou Teng shook off the two of them helplessly. A student insisted, ¡°No, it wasn¡¯t easy to bring you out, and it¡¯s in a crowded place. It¡¯s time to train your self-confidence!¡± When Zhou Teng heard this, he was instantly unhappy. He covered his classmate¡¯s mouth and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say such a thing!¡± The two students looked at each other. Zhou Teng¡¯s lack of confidence was really in all aspects. Even if others heard him say that he was not confident, he would become unconfident. The classmate patted Zhou Teng¡¯s shoulder and said earnestly, ¡°We¡¯re helping you. Good medicine is bitter, and honest words are hard to hear. The process of metamorphosis will definitely be a little painful, but it doesn¡¯t matter. We¡¯ll accompany you.¡± Another student said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Aren¡¯t you also troubled by this matter? Look, you¡¯ve already bought all the clothes and new cars. From your appearance, you¡¯re already a very bright and handsome young man. If you mold your inner self, it¡¯ll be perfect!¡± Zhou Teng pursed his lips and was speechless. He agreed with the two of them, but how could it be so easy to change? Zhou Teng was born in the countryside but his family was being compensated by the government for development. The houses and land in his hometown had all been expropriated, and he had received more than 10 million yuan in demolition fees. In addition, his father was also a business minded person. In a few years, he had doubled the family¡¯s money. This was an era where households with tens of thousands of yuan was rare. Their families had tens of millions of yuan. It could be said that they were rich. They could live a more comfortable and leiure life than most people if they did nothing for the rest of their lives. However, Zhou Teng¡¯s parents had different thoughts. When their house had just been demolished, Zhou Teng was still in his infancy. A huge sum of money had been spent on normal families. If used well, it would be a ladder to heaven. If not, it would be a sickle to hell. Therefore, when Zhou Teng was growing up, the Zhou parents had always hidden the fact that their family was rich. They followed the education philosophy of ¡°a filial son is born under a stick¡± and also suppressed Zhou Teng. Because of the long period of denial, even though Zhou Teng¡¯s grades had always been good and he was very obedient, he was very timid and not very confident. It was not until he was admitted to a satisfactory university that his parents felt that he was sensible. Only then did they tell him about their family¡¯s financial situation. After that, they even gave him a huge sum of 100,000 yuan, hoping that he could enjoy his university life. Zhou Teng had been thrifty since he was young. The clothes he wore were old clothes that his relative¡¯s brother could not wear. Now that he suddenly had money, he did not know how to spend it. He simply bought a full set of branded clothes and wore them, hoping that the clothes would help him increase his confidence. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. The two students were also here to help him. Every time he retreated, they would encourage him to move forward. It could be said that they were trying their best to persuade him. ¡°Hey, hey, you keep looking at that girl over there. If you like her, go hit on her. Exchange contact information with her and ask her out for dinner!¡± A classmate said, ¡°An understanding girlfriend can help a man obtain great Achievement. I think she looks very gentle!¡± ¡°Ah¡­ That¡¯s not good.¡± Zhou Teng did have a good impression of Ai Tingya. Their school was not close to the milk tea shop. He came here mainly to take a look at Ai Tingya. Because he was not confident, he felt that he was not worthy of such a beautiful girl. He habitually avoided her and lowered his head to pretend to drink the milk tea seriously. Another student couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and snatched his milk tea. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of being rejected. Rather, it¡¯s common to be rejected in life. You have to give it a try. Otherwise, we¡¯ll drink until we vomit in the shop today.¡± For someone like Zhou Teng, who was used to retreating, it was necessary to use some forceful methods. Zhou Teng understood this logic. No matter what, he had to take the initiative to ask for their contact information. If he succeeded in getting it, everyone would be happy. If he didn¡¯t get it, he wouldn¡¯t lose anything. He understood. He understood everything, but he still couldn¡¯t live a good life! The classmate shook off the car key at his waist and gave him a suggestion. ¡°If you really can¡¯t, slap the key in front of her! I don¡¯t believe that any girl can resist the temptation of a luxury car!¡± ¡°This method is feasible! Even if she doesn¡¯t want to date you, she might be willing to start with friends on account of your arrogance.¡± Both of them understood that the result was not important. What was important was that Zhou Teng dared to express his feelings to the girl he liked. ¡°Is¡­ is it really feasible¡­¡± Zhou Teng was still a little hesitant. He stared fixedly at Ai Tingya¡¯s beautiful face and elegant temperament. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet as he walked forward. He was going all out! Chapter 164 - 164 What Is The Most Important About Chasing A Girl? Domineering Aura! 164 What Is The Most Important About Chasing A Girl? Domineering Aura! Zhou Teng mustered his courage and walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side. He knocked on the table gently. ¡°Hello, classmate.¡± His voice was as soft as a mosquito. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t hear him clearly for the first time. She looked up and smiled. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Most of the people who came to the milk tea shop were from Ai Tingya¡¯s school. They basically knew that she was the lady boss here. Naturally, they knew that the lady boss was taken. Someone who directly bypassed the shop assistant like this might have something to say. Ai Tingya¡¯s smile was very official. She put down her work and raised her head, sitting upright, preparing to listen to the person¡¯s opinion. This stance was too formal for Zhou Teng, making him so nervous that he did not know where to place his hands. ¡°Um¡­ um¡­ I¡­ I actually want to¡­ want to¡­¡± Zhou Teng stammered, unable to speak for a long time. The two students watching at the side were anxious and wished they could go up and finish speaking for him. ¡°What?¡± Ai Tingya still could not hear clearly, so she stood up and listened. As the distance narrowed, Zhou Teng could vaguely smell the fragrance of Ai Tingya¡¯s hair. He straightened his neck and completely lost his voice. In a moment of desperation, he grabbed the key fob on his waist and slapped it on the table. Ai Tingya did not recognize the name tag of a famous car and did not know what Zhou Teng meant. She felt that as a very professional lady boss, she could not be cold at this moment, so she smiled and said, ¡°What beautiful car keys.¡± The praise was very official. Even Zhou Teng sensed that she was not serious at all. It was as if being able to recognize that this was a car key had already used up all her reserves. ¡°Beautiful¡­ Beautiful¡­¡± This was the first time Zhou Teng had received such a comment that he was unable to reply to. He silently picked up the key and walked back to his classmates. Ai Tingya did not understand. She tilted her head and looked at it before sitting down to continue her work. Zhou Teng was so nervous that he was about to cry. He kept panting and asked his two classmates, ¡°She doesn¡¯t have any feelings for me at all. Let¡¯s go!¡± It would take a few more failures to realize that many failures were only temporary. The classmates could not let go of this good opportunity and quickly stopped him and said, ¡°No, no, no. This girl is a natural airhead. She¡¯s just right for you. Go ask her for her contact information. If you get it, you¡¯ll have profited. Don¡¯t be afraid!¡± The two students did their best to cheer for Zhou Teng, similar to professional cheerleading team. Zhou Teng wanted to run again. When he turned around and saw Ai Tingya¡¯s simple temperament, he felt that he had to give it a try! ¡°Wait for me to take a breather and drink two mouthfuls of milk tea. I¡¯ll definitely give it a try!¡± Zhou Teng grabbed his cup and sucked half of it! Little did they know that another pair of eyes was watching them from behind the bar when they were looking at Ai Tingya. An employee could not stand it anymore and said to Xiao Fei, ¡°Store manager, they¡¯re always muttering about our lady boss. Why don¡¯t we remind the lady boss that she has a partner?¡± Xiao Fei suddenly had an idea when she saw Zhou Teng¡¯s serious expression. She smiled evilly. ¡°No, let the boss resolve the lady boss¡¯s matter himself. I¡¯ll call Luo Feng immediately! Let him come over and declare his sovereignty.¡± Then, he picked up the phone and shook Luo Feng back from Xie Yan¡¯s company. Luo Feng did not find it strange that he received information from Xiao Fei. Ai Tingya¡¯s beauty was obvious to all after all. She was like a dazzling diamond that was easily coveted. However, he still had to protect his wife. Luo Feng still thanked her and rushed to the milk tea shop. He happened to see Zhou Teng preparing to attack Ai Tingya for the second time. He had heard from Xiao Fei on the phone about the entire situation. He came to target someone else¡¯s wife just to increase his confidence? Luo Feng decided to teach Zhou Teng a lesson! ¡°Then I¡¯ll go over!¡± Zhou Teng patted his cheek to wake himself up. Before he left, he did not forget to remind his classmates, ¡°You must save me if you see anything going wrong!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll always support you!¡± The two students were filled with joy. After mobilizing for so long, he was finally going to take the initiative to attack! Just as Zhou Teng was about to go over, Luo Feng patted his shoulder from behind and said, ¡°Student, you won¡¯t be able to woo a girl in this state.¡± Zhou Teng sized up Luo Feng. Seeing that he was wearing normal clothes but could not hide his calm temperament, he inexplicably thought of a very awesome and low-profile big shot in television dramas. He could not help but ask humbly, ¡°Then how should I woo a girl?¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Luo Feng waved his hand. ¡°Men should be domineering!¡± ¡± Domineering?¡± Zhou Teng muttered. Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°I can tell at a glance that you don¡¯t understand. Stand here and watch me perform it for you.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ oh.¡± Before Zhou Teng could react, he saw Luo Feng stride towards Ai Tingya. He supported himself with one hand on the table and looked down at Ai Tingya in a very showy manner. Ai Tingya looked up at Luo Feng, not knowing what he was up to again. She lowered her head and continued working. ¡°Wow¡­ Can this Big Brother do it¡­¡± The students felt that Luo Feng was too exaggerated and oily when they saw him. There was no sign of domineeringness. Zhou Teng felt that he could wait and see. Then, he saw Luo Feng raise Ai Tingya¡¯s chin and kiss her in front of everyone. Zhou Teng¡¯s jaw almost fell to the ground. Wasn¡¯t this too direct?! Would he really not be slapped?! Ai Tingya was also in a daze, allowing Luo Feng to tease her. She thought that he might stop after a while. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng felt that it was not enough after kissing it. He lowered his body and prepared to give it a second kiss. Ai Tingya noticed that someone was watching and raised her hand to block Luo Feng¡¯s lips. Seeing this, Zhou Teng thought to himself that this was the reaction of a normal girl. How could she let other boys kiss her? Luo Feng grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and said casually, ¡°Beauty, be my girlfriend. I¡¯ll give you everything I have!¡± Ai Tingya rolled her eyes at him. She did not know what he was up to again, so she stared at Luo Feng without saying anything. ¡°You¡¯re willing, right? Otherwise, do you want to be kissed by me again?¡± Luo Feng took out the lines of the Boss novel he had read before. In class, the more exaggerated the better. Ai Tingya could not do anything to him. She would also be shy if he kissed her in public. ¡°Alright, I promise you.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s voice was so soft that it made one¡¯s bones go soft. Luo Feng was very satisfied with her cooperation. A domineering CEO wanted to be matched by a wheedling woman! He turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Zhou Teng. ¡°Have you learned anything? This domineeringness is what they want!¡± Zhou Teng felt that his worldview had been impacted, his mouth was agape, speechless for a long time. After standing there in a daze for a long time, he slowly came back to his senses and cupped his fists at Luo Feng. ¡°Big Brother, I understand!¡± Zhou Teng suddenly stood up, scaring the two students. He looked at Luo Feng as if he was looking at his parents again, filled with admiration and gratitude! Chapter 165 - 165 Sudden Accident At The Crossing 165 Sudden Accident At The Crossing ¡°Big Boss, I finally understand why I don¡¯t have a girlfriend!¡± Zhou Teng held Luo Feng¡¯s hand. His gratefulness was indescribable. It was all in his eyes. ¡°I lack dominance!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Luo Feng nodded, indicating that he was very good at it. Zhou Teng felt like he was holding a peerless secret manual in his hand. After opening his meridians, even the air he breathed was much more carefree! He wished he could learn it and use it immediately. Unfortunately, the girl he liked was already someone else¡¯s girlfriend. However, there were always gains and losses in life! Zhou Teng thought it through very clearly, and his eyes flickered with a golden light that saw through the mortal world. The two students who came with him were also stunned. Why did they have a bad premonition? ¡°Do you think¡­ that this will work? Is being domineering and being thick-skinned the same thing?¡± A classmate felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what was wrong. ¡°It should be fine. We¡¯ve completed the request of Zhou Teng¡¯s parents. Look, Zhou Teng is extremely confident now.¡± Another student crossed his arms and felt that he could go and receive the reward. Indeed, Zhou Teng¡¯s parents were more worried about Zhou Teng¡¯s lack of confidence than Zhou Teng himself. They were afraid that their son would be too depressed and not want to open it, so they privately contacted Zhou Teng and his classmates, hoping that they would encourage him. The classmate looked at the ambitious Zhou Teng. ¡°He¡¯s indeed much more confident.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s chase after the girl!¡± Zhou Teng waved his hand and called out to his two classmates. He puffed out his chest and raised his head. He walked out of the milk tea shop in an imposing manner, his entire body shining confidently. The others stared at this loud-voiced student, not knowing what was wrong with them. Seeing this, Ai Tingya said with mixed feelings, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that he will get beaten up if you teach him this?¡± ¡°Sigh.¡± Luo Feng pretended to be deep and let out a long sigh. ¡°How can he experience that these torments are not worth mentioning if he doesn¡¯t suffer a few more times? What he needs is full faith, and I gave him this faith. Let society train him for the rest.¡± ¡°I feel like you¡¯re bullsh*ting me.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s face was filled with disdain. Luo Feng changed his sage-like lecturer appearance and whispered, ¡°Who asked him to hit on my girlfriend!¡± ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re the only one who likes to be jealous.¡± Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t help but laugh. She felt that this was pretty good. The two of them played for a while before stopping. Ai Tingya returned to the computer and browsed through the company¡¯s information. Luo Feng did not return to Xie Yan Company. He asked for a cup of milk tea and supported his face to admire Ai Tingya¡¯s work. ¡°Chairman, if you really have nothing to do, go back to the dormitory and read.¡± Ai Tingya stared at the computer and did not forget to urge Luo Feng to cherish time. ¡°I spend more time studying and less time admiring my wife.¡± Luo Feng was engrossed in reading and slacked off righteously. Ai Tingya could not do anything to him, so she let him be. ¡°Boss, can you help greet the customers in the shop?¡± Xiao Fei stood behind the cashier and shouted. ¡°Boss is busy¡­¡± ¡°Boss, this machine doesn¡¯t sound right. Come and take a look.¡± ¡°Get the repairman over instead¡­¡± This shop could not leave Luo Feng at all, but at this moment, no matter what was going on in the shop, they could not make Luo Feng move his butt. They were all trivial matters. Ai Tingya ignored them. The surroundings finally quietened down with Luo Feng¡¯s immovable persistence. Luo Feng could look at Ai Tingya without any distractions and enjoy his Spiritual World with her. Feeling a little better, Luo Feng¡¯s phone rang at an inappropriate time. ¡°Seriously! Why didn¡¯t you come earlier or later!¡± Luo Feng took out his phone in frustration and saw that it was from Hao Yingqiang. At this moment, he should be delivering takeaways and had no time to make a call. Luo Feng picked up the phone and scolded jokingly, ¡°If you have something to say, say it. If not, I¡¯ll hang up.¡± There was no answer. He could vaguely hear Hao Yingqiang sniffling. Luo Feng immediately sensed that something was wrong and said in a low voice, ¡°Hao Yingqiang, what¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± ¡°Wuwu¡­¡± Before he could hear anything, he heard Hao Yingqiang¡¯s sobbing voice. ¡°Luo Feng¡­ I, I¡¯ve caused trouble¡­¡± ¡°What happened?¡± ¡­ Three hours ago. It was lunchtime and the busiest time for deliveries. Hao Yingqiang was riding his small electric scooter on the road. The takeaway had distributed the same equipment to every deliveryman: green uniform, green helmet, and green electric scooter. It had already become a beautiful scenery in the university city area. Everyone knew that a delivery man was from Gather Sift Takeaway whenever they saw a green scooter. It also imperceptibly advertised the company. Part-time employees had the same treatment as full-time employees other than having no insurance. Hao Yingqiang wanted to buy a second-hand electric scooter at first. He did not expect the company to have everything prepared. He was basically running outside most of the time other than going to class and accompanying his girlfriend. He had just started working for a few days and sent them off slower because he was not familiar with the place. After working for a week, Hao Yingqiang had completely entered the role of a deliveryman. He used his spare time to earn about a thousand yuan a month. Coupled with the 800 yuan his family gave him for living expenses, his life was not bad. At that time, there was still one last serving in his takeaway box. After sending Hao Yingqiang off, he was about to prepare for lunch. He stopped the car and waited for the traffic light. He turned another corner and arrived at the residential area where the customers were. Today¡¯s work was about to end. Hao Yingqiang thought about agreeing to go to the amusement park with his girlfriend in the afternoon and hummed a tune happily. Suddenly, a small black car sped past him, ignored the traffic lights, and rushed into horizontal traffic. Screech¡ª The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground stimulated everyone¡¯s eardrums at the intersection. There was a long skidmark on the ground. The black car stopped beside a white car and was just short of colliding. ¡°Are you in a hurry to reincarnate!¡± The white car driver stuck his head out and pointed at the black car, cursing. The black car was unmoved. It retreated a little and bypassed the white car. Unexpectedly, the back of the car hit an old lady who was crossing the Zebra Crossing. ¡°Aiyo! Aiyo! I am hit!¡± The old lady lay on the ground and moaned in pain. Her limbs were not agile and she was even holding a walking stick. She looked more than 70 years old. Old people had low bone density and were most afraid of bumps. The old lady sat on the ground and knocked on the back of the black car. However, the black car driver was determined to ignore the injured. He swung the steering wheel and left, leaving a wisp of dust behind. ¡°Fu*ker! Do you know that you hit someone?!¡± The white-car driver jumped down and cursed in the direction where the black car had disappeared. He turned around and looked at the old lady sitting on the ground, unable to get up. He hesitated for a moment before getting into the car and driving away. The intersection quickly returned to normal. The red light turned green, and the car in the same direction as Hao Yingqiang drove past the zebra crossing, heading towards the established route. Pedestrians waiting for the green light stood by the traffic light. No one seemed to remember that there had almost been a car accident here if not for the fact that the old lady was still sitting on the spot. There were always many people at the crossroads, but no one went to help the old lady. Chapter 166 - 166 Kindness Being Trampled Upon, Blackmail! 166 Kindness Being Trampled Upon, Blackmail! Hao Yingqiang did not expect the difficult problem of whether to help or not to fall on his head one day. He could not help but think of a case that shocked the entire country when he saw the old lady lying on the ground. The cause was also a kind-hearted person who helped the old man up. However, he did not expect the old man to be injured. He bit back at the kind-hearted person and asked the innocent kind-hearted person to compensate for the medical expenses. The kind-hearted person was not used to the old man¡¯s malice and rejected this unreasonable claim. Later on, the old man sued the kind-hearted person to the court. In the end, the judge sentenced the kind-hearted person to compensate the old man for medical expenses, nutrition, and a series of other expenses. ¡°Why did you help him up if you didn¡¯t knock him over?¡± The judge¡¯s classic sentence shocked the entire society. From that moment on, everyone¡¯s first reaction when facing the old man who fell was not to extend a helping hand, but to hide far away. Hao Yingqiang stood rooted to the ground, feeling extremely conflicted. He also had a grandfather of about the same age at home. He really could not turn a blind eye to the helpless old lady. However, he was afraid that he would be extorted by the old lady. No one could judge the other party¡¯s moral standards first when giving help. Beep¡ª The siren of the car behind them sounded non-stop. There was already a long convoy behind him while Hao Yingqiang was in a daze. The driver stuck his head out and complained, ¡°Can¡¯t you see the green light? Pull over at the side of the road if you are not moving!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± Hao Yingqiang quickly drove through the intersection and onto the opposite street. After driving for a hundred meters, he would be able to deliver the last meal to the customer. Moreover, he had delivered it 20 minutes in advance. He could legitimately ask the guests for good reviews¡­ Hao Yingqiang stared ahead, his heart filled with thoughts of the elderly who had fallen. Who would help her if he didn¡¯t? She was already so old and should be sent to the hospital quickly. When he came back to his senses, his hand had already crushed the brake. ¡°Damn it!¡± Hao Yingqiang suddenly turned the car around and accelerated. As expected, the old lady was still sitting alone on the zebra crossing. The pedestrians passing by ignored her, and the cars slowed down to walk around her, afraid that she would cling onto them. Hao Yingqiang parked the car at the side and gritted his teeth as he quickly ran over. He helped the old lady up and said, ¡°Are you alright?¡± The old lady¡¯s face was filled with affliction. It was so painful that she could not smile even when she saw someone helping her. ¡°My leg hurts. I don¡¯t think I can move¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll hold you and see if you can stand up.¡± ¡°Oh my god, it hurts too much. I think my bone is broken.¡± When the surrounding pedestrians saw someone doing a good deed, they stopped to watch. Hao Yingqiang saw that the old lady¡¯s hair was white, her face was filled with wrinkles, and she was so thin that she was like a bag of bones. She was so fragile that it was as if a gust of wind could blow her away. He really could not bear to see her like this. ¡°Um¡­ Shall I take you to the hospital?¡± Hao Yingqiang¡¯s heart was beating like a drum. He did not know if his decision was right. ¡°Alright, alright. Thank you, young man.¡± The old woman was exceptionally grateful. Her turbid eyes were blurry as she sighed. ¡°There aren¡¯t many kind people these days. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t cause trouble for you.¡± ¡°¡­ Let¡¯s go first.¡± Hao Yingqiang was fat and strong. He avoided the old lady¡¯s injured area, picked her up, placed her in the back of the car, and drove the old lady to the hospital. He thought that he would have nothing to do after handing the old lady over to the doctor and would still have time to come back and deliver the food. Unexpectedly, he entered the hospital. After registering and paying the fees, the old lady said that she did not understand the situation. Hao Yingqiang was forced to be a family member and accompany her for an X-ray and checkup. He busied himself with her matters. In a moment of carelessness, he spent more than a thousand yuan and helped the old lady pay the medical fees. When the film was released, the old lady¡¯s family arrived late. It was a middle-aged man and a woman. The man¡¯s skin was dark, and there was a sweat towel around his neck. It was obvious that he was doing hard work. The woman was slightly short and chubby, and her mouth was bald. From the moment Hao Yingqiang saw them until the two of them walked closer, the woman¡¯s scolding did not stop. The man lowered his head and remained silent. Only when he saw the old lady and Hao Yingqiang did his tired face change slightly. He jogged over. ¡°Mom, how do you feel?¡± ¡°We¡¯re still waiting for the results¡­¡± The old lady could not understand, so Hao Yingqiang. The man looked at his pale mother with heartache and lowered his head without saying anything. The woman slowly walked over and rolled her eyes at the old lady without saying anything. The four of them waited in the corridor for a while. The doctor came out with the test results. He did not care who was in front of him and said, ¡°The old lady¡¯s calf bone is cracked. It¡¯s not serious, but considering that the patient is relatively old, our suggestion is to treat her conservatively.¡± The man was about to open his mouth when the woman interrupted, ¡°Doctor, how much does conservative treatment cost?¡± The doctor had seen many family members who asked about the cost first without asking about the patient¡¯s condition. The doctor said, ¡°This depends on the patient¡¯s recovery. Elderly people recover slower than young people. It might not take much for treatment. The family has to take care of her more. Her injured leg can¡¯t touch the ground for the time being.¡± From the doctor¡¯s description, it was not very serious. It was just that the follow-up care would be a little troublesome. For an elderly woman in her seventies, it was already a blessing in disguise. ¡°Will there be repercussions?¡± The man asked with concern. ¡°This depends on the recovery results. She needs the family to take good care of her.¡± The doctor handed the test report to the man. ¡°This is the medicine list. You can go get the medicine after paying the fee.¡± The man looked at the list of medicine in a daze and sighed repeatedly. Hao Yingqiang saw that the old lady¡¯s expression was not good either. In his opinion, this situation was considered light. It was better than being hospitalized for surgery. However, on second thought, he felt a little regretful. The car that caused the accident ran too quickly. Even though there were many people at that time, not many of them remembered the license plate number. There were no surveillance cameras around the intersection. If she could not find anyone even if she called the police, the old lady could only admit that she was unlucky and bear the medical expenses herself. He remembered that he still had a meal to deliver and had to leave. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first,¡± Hao Yingqiang said to the family of three. The woman was originally indifferent to the old lady as if nothing had happened. When she heard that she needed money, she glared at the old lady. Now that she saw Hao Yingqiang, her eyes darted around and she walked to the old lady¡¯s side. She whispered, ¡°We¡¯ll get him to compensate!¡± The old lady was unwilling. ¡°It wasn¡¯t this young man who hit me. He was kind enough to send me to the hospital.¡± The woman said evilly, ¡°If you don¡¯t ask him to compensate you, will you pay for the treatment? Do you have money? Your leg can¡¯t touch the ground, we would still have to find someone to serve you, this isn¡¯t free!¡± The man at the side could not stand it anymore and retorted, ¡°Can¡¯t you take care of my mother?¡± ¡°Me?¡± The woman pointed at herself and laughed in anger. ¡°Aren¡¯t I working? It¡¯s already difficult for you to earn enough to support yourself alone. How can you have the ability to raise two more idle mouths!¡± The old lady and the man were speechless. Seeing them whispering together, Hao Yingqiang felt a little uneasy. ¡°Um, I still have something on. Who will return the money I paid first?¡± ¡°Return money to you?¡± The woman seemed like she heard a joke. ¡°You hit someone and you want to leave without paying a single cent? No way!¡± Chapter 167 - 167 The Companys Measures To Support Employees Who Met Unjust Treatment 167 The Company¡¯s Measures To Support Employees Who Met Unjust Treatment Hao Yingqiang¡¯s face instantly turned pale hearing the woman¡¯s words. He suddenly turned his head and questioned the old lady in disbelief, ¡°You said I hit you?!¡± The old lady looked at the woman fearfully, not daring to speak or look at Hao Yingqiang. The woman bent down and asked, ¡°Mom, tell me, did this little fatty hit you?¡± The old lady hesitated for a moment before nodding. Hao Yingqiang immediately felt the world spin. He did not expect to encounter the same thing one day. The previous lesson that echoed in his mind was not a warning, but a prophecy. It was his retribution for being a good person! ¡°It wasn¡¯t me!¡± Hao Yingqiang felt that his words were too weak. He couldn¡¯t say anything else other than that. ¡°If you didn¡¯t hit the person, why did you help her up? It¡¯s obvious that you have a guilty conscience!¡± The woman had sharp teeth and a sharp tongue. She had her hands on her waist, looking like she wanted to fight for 300 rounds. Hao Yingqiang did not have much social experience and could not win against unreasonable people. ¡°I don¡¯t want the money I paid first!¡± He turned around and left. He could only suffer in silence and leave, thinking that the old lady¡¯s family shouldn¡¯t be able to stop him. Hao Yingqiang ran towards the entrance of the hospital as if he was escaping. He had only taken a few steps when he heard the woman say sarcastically from behind, ¡°If you have the ability, run! You can run but you can¡¯t hide! I know your uniform and where your company is!¡± She threatened to cause trouble at the company. Hao Yingqiang¡¯s heart dropped and he thought to himself that this was bad. He was still wearing the uniform of Gather Sift Takeaway. From the way the woman was pestering him, she really planned to find the company! This time, he did not dare to run. Hao Yingqiang stood rooted to the ground in a daze, feeling that he had let Luo Feng down. He was only studying in this city and knew only his classmates and teachers. After something happened, Hao Yingqiang¡¯s first reaction was to call Luo Feng. Thinking of this, Hao Yingqiang felt that he should call Luo Feng! He dialed Luo Feng¡¯s number, thinking in his ear and organizing words in his mind. ¡°If you have something to say, say it. If not, I¡¯ll hang up!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s tone did not sound very happy. Hao Yingqiang was already nervous, so he did not know where to start. He could only sniffle non-stop to calm himself down. On the other side, Luo Feng quickly sensed that something was wrong and asked in a different tone, ¡°Are you alright? What happened?¡± His voice was calm and gentle, and there was an indescribable sense of security. Hao Yingqiang suddenly could not hold it in anymore. Tears welled up in his eyes and he choked up twice. ¡°Luo Feng¡­ I¡¯ve caused trouble¡­¡± This was the first time Luo Feng had heard Hao Yingqiang cry. After all, they had been roommates for almost a semester. Luo Feng felt that he knew Hao Yingqiang very well. Even though his temper was a little soft, he was not a fragile person. He was still generous when it was time even though his family background was average. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be the first person in the dormitory to become attached. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Tell me slowly,¡± Luo Feng comforted. Hao Yingqiang cried, ¡°I¡­ I helped an old lady up!¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Luo Feng was speechless. With the current social atmosphere, anyone who dared to help an old lady could only be said to be a ruthless person. Luo Feng had lived again and still remembered that classic case clearly. Even with his current wealth, he did not dare to be so willing to help others. However, when he heard Hao Yingqiang explain the cause and effect, Luo Feng immediately understood. They were all young people after all. They were at the age where their blood boiled and they wanted to change the world. He could only say that his sincerity had been fed to the dogs. ¡°What did that family say?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°They said they want me to pay for the medical expenses¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang heard the woman shouting for 100,000 yuan from behind. ¡°How much do they want?¡± ¡°One hundred thousand yuan!¡± ¡°100,000 yuan? Heh.¡± Luo Feng was so angry that he laughed. 100,000 yuan was nothing to him. To Hao Yingqiang, it could take his life. It was not that Luo Feng could not afford it, but he did not want to let the bad guys have it easy. ¡°How about this? Don¡¯t panic first. Call the police first and definitely don¡¯t settle privately. I¡¯ll arrange the rest. Come back to school first.¡± Hearing Luo Feng take on this matter, Hao Yingqiang felt better. ¡°I still have a delivery to send¡­¡± ¡°Then send it over first and apologize to the customer. If he¡¯s still not satisfied, tell him that you¡¯ll compensate him with a coupon.¡± Luo Feng helped resolve the rest. After hanging up, Ai Tingya, who was standing at the side, could tell that something was wrong with Luo Feng¡¯s expression. She hurriedly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± Luo Feng told her everything about Hao Yingqiang. Ai Tingya, who had a good temper, also became angry. She also knew Hao Yingqiang. He was kind and had a sweet mouth. When he saw her, he called her sister-in-law directly. After interacting with him for a while, she knew that he was a very honest person. Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t bear to see Hao Yingqiang be wronged and also wanted to help. However, no matter how she thought about it, she could not think of a way to help. Luo Feng and her were only students and had earned some money, but they did not have any connections locally after all. Luo Feng said, ¡°Tingya, go back and ask Professor Ai. He definitely knows who to look for.¡± Hearing this, Ai Tingya slapped her thigh. ¡°That¡¯s right! Grandpa has been teaching students here for decades. He has students everywhere!¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s split up. You go find Professor Ai. I¡¯ll go find Xie Yan.¡± Gather Sift Takeaway was under Xie Yan¡¯s name. Hao Yingqiang was a part-time deliveryman and it was an accident during his work. This not only concerned Hao Yingqiang¡¯s personal gains and losses, but also the reputation of the delivery company. If it was not handled well, it would affect the people¡¯s hearts of the company. When Luo Feng walked into the company, Xie Yan was still surprised. Why was he back so quickly? Didn¡¯t he go to declare his sovereignty? ¡°Why are you back? The work here is almost done.¡± Xie Yan reported. ¡°Something happened!¡± Luo Feng was very serious. Xie Yan immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and retracted his smile. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my roommate who came here for a part-time job a while ago. Today¡­¡± Luo Feng explained the ins and outs of the matter to Xie Yan again. The dozens of people in the company instantly exploded. Almost all the students here were of the same age and had a natural sense of justice and empathy. There was no difference between being humiliated by a classmate and being humiliated himself. ¡°There are really all kinds of people these days!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so angry. Why is it so difficult to be a good person!¡± ¡°Should good people deserve to be bullied?¡± The employees scolded very enthusiastically. After venting their emotions, they calmly thought about it and realized that they were not good at this. After all, the company was not so big as to recruit legal personnel. Moreover, the social atmosphere in recent years has been like this. It was not an exception. It could only be said that whoever got involved was unlucky. Xie Yan¡¯s expression was ugly. ¡°What should we do now? Should we hire a lawyer?¡± ¡°Tingya has already gone to look for them, but finding a lawyer is not enough,¡± Luo Feng said solemnly. ¡°I¡¯m prepared to invest in the company again and set up a special fund.¡± Chapter 168 - 168 We Must Seek Justice! Writing The Denunciation 168 We Must Seek Justice! Writing The Denunciation ¡°What fund?¡± Xie Yan asked. Luo Feng was extremely anxious. When he saw an empty computer, he ran over and explained as he fiddled with it, ¡°Any fund, be it called a righteous fund or standing up for the fund. Its main function is to provide assistance and rewards to employees like Hao Yingqiang who have done good deeds but suffer unfair treatment.¡± He could clearly remember that in his previous life, the delivery men had become a trending topic on the Internet because they had often done good deeds. However, that situation was because surveillance was common. Everyone had a smartphone and someone took a video of the scene. Now, it was more similar to Hao Yingqiang being wronged and needing legal help. Even though Xie Yan knew that the company was duty-bound to do this, directly creating a fund meant that he had to spend money again¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need, right? If you want to help your roommate, just help him¡­ There¡¯s no need for the fund¡­¡± Luo Feng stopped what he was doing and said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Creating the fund isn¡¯t just for Hao Yingqiang. It¡¯s to tell all the delivery men in the company, be it full-time or part-time, that the company encourages them to do good deeds and not have anything to worry about.¡± ¡°¡­Is that so¡­¡± Xie Yan still did not understand what benefits this could bring to the company. Luo Feng felt that it was necessary to cleanse the minds of the management. ¡°Xie Yan, do you remember what kind of company we wanted to create?¡± ¡°A great company¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Think about it. Isn¡¯t it great to change the atmosphere of society? Let that f*cking judgment go to hell!¡± Luo Feng was ambitious. He wanted to create another piece of news that could be discussed by the entire country! ¡°But¡­ This will cost a lot of money¡­¡± Xie Yan had been a boss for more than half a year and knew how expensive things were. It was a conditioned reflex. His first reaction would be to see if the budget was enough whenever anything was mentioned. Luo Feng looked at him with an ¡°I expect better from you¡± expression. Why had Xie Yan not caught up to him after the long period of engagement with him? Why couldn¡¯t he boldly squander money! Creating the fund was also to earn money. Otherwise, why would he use the company¡¯s name and not his own? ¡°This is also good publicity for the company.¡± Luo Feng calculated slightly. ¡°We want to make a company with love and let the consumers feel it.¡± ¡°But¡­ money¡­¡± Xie Yan could not only consider love, but also reality. ¡°Money?¡± The corners of Luo Feng¡¯s mouth twitched with a hint of mockery. ¡°What are you afraid of when money is used where it is needed most? I¡¯m just afraid that you won¡¯t know how to spend money!¡± He did not know if it was because Xie Yan was too thrifty or because there was not much competition in the takeaway market now. Luo Feng still had a lot of the 10 million yuan he had invested last time, but Xie Yan was like a miser. He wished he could split it into two. To be honest, Luo Feng was very disappointed in Xie Yan in terms of spending money. Xie Yan subconsciously pursed his lips when he met Luo Feng¡¯s gaze. Why did he feel that Luo Feng was looking at him strangely, as if he was helpless? Luo Feng patted Xie Yan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Work hard to spend it. It¡¯s fine for you to be a prodigal son.¡± ¡°??? Huh?¡± Xie Yan was at a loss. However, when he wanted to ask in detail, Luo Feng was focused on the fund and had no time to pay attention to him. Xie Yan stood for a while and felt that he did not need his help, so he went to busy himself with other things. After a while, Ai Tingya also came to the company. When she saw Luo Feng, she walked straight over. ¡°Grandpa helped us contact a teacher from the Law Faculty. When the teacher heard about it, she agreed to represent this case,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°However, the teacher also said that this case is very difficult to fight because there¡¯s too little evidence and no witnesses. The best way to deal with it is to settle it privately.¡± Her tone was helpless. She had already consulted everyone she could. The answer given by her teacher was not very optimistic. ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± Luo Feng was focused on the computer and was not affected by the news brought by Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya saw that Luo Feng was staring at the computer and typing on the keyboard. She did not know what he was writing. She leaned forward to take a look. Suddenly, he heard Luo Feng say, ¡°Reconcile? Impossible! I¡¯ve already agreed with Hao Yingqiang that this case has to continue. We¡¯ll take it to the High Court if necessary!¡± ¡°Okay¡­ What are you writing?¡± ¡°Writing?¡± Luo Feng turned his body to make way. Only then did Ai Tingya see the words on the computer clearly. Luo Feng had already written nearly 1,000 words. Not only was the article long, but the title was also long. Ai Tingya read it out softly and read a paragraph. She could not help but widen her eyes. ¡°A denunciation?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°Compared to spending 100,000 yuan as compensation, I¡¯d rather spend 100 million to seek justice! Tingya! The company¡¯s highlight has arrived! Do you want to join?¡± Ai Tingya was so shocked that she could not speak. She only saw Luo Feng smile confidently and continue to write hard. ¡­ Twitter was established in 2006. It was already a very famous social service platform when Luo Feng was in university. The number of visits increased year by year and had already become an indispensable part of online socializing. However, Twitter at this point in time was still in the age of the celebrities. Everyone was just using a platform for daily interaction. All kinds of Internet celebrities were still in the process of figuring it out. Many officials had yet to register their accounts. However, Luo Feng knew the power of this platform very well. Gather Sift Takeaway also had its first official account. Of course, it was still a small transparent account. This was because at this moment, everyone liked to watch the daily lives shared by celebrities the most. Che Xuesong did not understand this news. He was a reporter. Every day, he would have a fixed time to search for news materials on the Internet platform. A celebrity would post a dish, and there would be thousands of comments and likes below. On the other hand, the social news he had written with all his might could not even reach 20 views. Che Xuesong felt that this lousy job of a reporter was getting more and more hopeless. ¡°It¡¯s just a meal. What¡¯s there to talk about¡­¡± Che Xuesong felt bored. He supported his face with one hand and scrolled through the dynamics with the other. At this moment, an article barged into his line of sight. Che Xuesong¡¯s sharp news radar immediately noticed this dynamic headline. ¡°Gathering Sift Takeaway, isn¡¯t it the takeaway that has been very popular recently?¡± Che Xuesong muttered to himself. He had also eaten Gather Sift Takeaway before. It was fast, good packaging, and the delivery man¡¯s service attitude was on point. Che Xuesong had a good impression of it, especially for office workers like them who worked flexible hours and often ran around. It was really very convenient to deliver ready-made food directly to them. Curious, Che Xuesong clicked on the dynamic link. After reading a few lines, Che Xuesong was stunned. A few keywords attracted his attention. ¡°Acted bravely but was slandered instead?¡± To be honest, there has been a lot of such news in the past few years. It was not much different from the person involved in the article. His good intentions were labeled as the perpetrator. To be honest, it was very disappointing, but what could they do? Few people took it seriously. Later on, there was a professional term for such behavior: ¡°Staged Crash.¡± Che Xuesong was once a hot-blooded young man. He wanted to uphold justice when he discovered injustice. However, after working for a few years and coming into contact with a large amount of similar time, Che Xuesong was also terrified. If there was an old man who fell in front of him now, he would turn a blind eye to him without hesitation. It was not that he was cold-blooded, but his family background did not allow it. Luo Feng¡¯s article on Twitter was not long. He only briefly recounted the matter. After writing it, Ai Tingya added a few details. Chapter 169 - 169 Publishing News, Noticed By Reporters! 169 Publishing News, Noticed By Reporters! To be honest, it was very disappointing, but what could they do? Few people took it seriously. Later on, there was a professional term for such behavior: ¡°Staged Crash.¡± Che Xuesong was once a hot-blooded young man. He wanted to uphold justice when he discovered injustice. However, after working for a few years and coming into contact with a large amount of similar time, Che Xuesong was also terrified. If there was an old man who fell in front of him now, he would turn a blind eye to him without hesitation. It was not that he was cold-blooded, but his family background did not allow it. Luo Feng¡¯s article on Twitter was not long. He only briefly described the matter. After writing it, Ai Tingya added a few tweets. Che Xuesong looked from the beginning to the end and then back again. His gaze stopped at the middle section. ¡°From today onwards, Gather Sift Takeaway will set up a ¡®Righteousness Fund¡¯!¡± ¡°As the Chairman of Gather Sift Takeaway, I can solemnly promise to the employees that when you see old people who fell or children who fell into the water, when you think that someone needs help, you can do your best to help. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re slandered, the company promises to help. We¡¯ll hire the best lawyer for you! The entire cost will be borne by the fund.¡± ¡°Perhaps the company spent three or four times more money on the evasion compensation.¡± ¡°However, our company unanimously agrees that some things are not reasonable just because they exist. Some qualities are destined to be more precious than gold! Our employees should have the confidence to do what they think is right!¡± ¡°At the same time, starting from the release of this article, all the electric heads of Gather Sift Takeaway will be installed with cameras to retain evidence to prevent such things from happening again.¡± The writing wasn¡¯t exquisite, but it carried the simplest values. Che Xuesong couldn¡¯t help but get excited. In the past, when he saw such news, he only felt regret and hatred. There were many companies that found it troublesome to push the blame, but not many took the initiative to bear it. ¡°Gather Sift Takeaway, right? I¡¯ll remember you!¡± Che Xuesong¡¯s blood was boiling. He could not wait to transfer the article into the work group. Director Ai Te said, ¡°Director, I found a piece of very good news material. You have to take a look!¡± After sending it, Che Xuesong did not have the time to be confident. He looked at the reply from his colleague with a bitter expression. ¡°Old Che, you¡¯re too busy. The director hates talking about work in the group.¡± ¡°The director¡¯s head hurts when he sees the screen. Have you forgotten? Be careful not to be scolded to death!¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯re awesome. Hold on!¡± Che Xuesong slapped his head in frustration. He was so excited that he completely forgot that the director was presbyopic! Usually, when he reported work, he would download it, turn up the font, and print it into a paper document to send to the director¡¯s office. The director was not used to working online because he was old. Moreover, the director felt that online news was not as formal as paper news, so he hated looking at web pages. Not only did Che Xuesong send it directly to the group, but he also directly tagged Chief Physician Zhang. It was a wind-blown crime, so a scolding was inevitable. He looked at the quiet work group. In comparison, his private messages were much livelier. His colleagues who were gloating were all advising him to pray for his own good. Che Xuesong couldn¡¯t withdraw it even if he wanted to. After a while, Che Xuesong¡¯s phone rang. The director¡¯s name flashed on the screen. Che Xuesong couldn¡¯t help but tremble and pick up the phone. ¡°Director¡­ I was wrong¡­¡± There was nothing wrong with apologizing first! There was silence on the other end for a long time, and he hummed indifferently. Che Xuesong¡¯s heart was pounding. Was the director so angry that he couldn¡¯t even be bothered to scold someone? It couldn¡¯t be that serious, right? ¡°Where¡­ Did you get this article?¡± The director on the other end of the phone spoke. He sounded calm and did not seem angry. ¡°Huh?¡± Che Xuesong¡¯s uneasy heart had yet to react. ¡°I asked you where you got the article!¡± ¡°I saw it on the Internet!¡± The department director hummed softly again. There seemed to be a hint of admiration in his voice. ¡°Alright, put aside the other work for now. Go find the person involved and follow up.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Che Xuesong was so happy that he almost jumped up. Not only did the director not scold him, but he also acknowledged the news value of this article! ¡°Hurry up. You have to get first-hand information before your peers, understand?¡± The director reminded him worriedly. It was obvious that he was especially concerned about this news. ¡°I¡¯ll go first thing in the morning!¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Che Xuesong heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was about to make a contribution! ¡°By the way, print out a copy of that article for me immediately. I¡¯m going blind from reading it.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Che Xuesong dodged the bullet and immediately downloaded the article. He adjusted the font to the right size, printed it out, and sent it to the director¡¯s office. When the other colleagues saw that Che Xuesong had taken the initiative to go to the director¡¯s office, they thought that he had lost his chance to be scolded. They craned their necks and waited for the director¡¯s roar. Unexpectedly, after a while, Che Xuesong walked out of the office with a smile. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it default that we can send a link directly from now on?¡± The colleague was confused. ¡°Has the director changed? That¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll post it in the group next time.¡± ¡°Me, too.¡± What Che Xuesong didn¡¯t know was that he was leading a revolution in the office. ¡­ The next morning, Che Xuesong contacted the person-in-charge of Gather Sift Takeaway and explained his intentions. However, he rushed to the company and did not find the Chairman who published the article. Xie Yan told Che Xuesong, ¡°The Chairman went to the hospital to pick up the employees involved.¡± Going to the hospital to deal with this matter? Che Xuesong felt that this was a good opportunity. ¡°Um, can you find someone to take me there?¡± Xie Yan called Luo Feng and nodded at Che Xuesong after getting his approval. The two of them immediately rushed to the hospital. Just as they reached the entrance, they saw Luo Feng and Ai Tingya waiting at the entrance of the inpatient department. Three people in suits and leather shoes and carrying briefcases were talking to them. Che Xuesong vaguely felt that they looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before. Xie Yan and Che Xuesong walked forward. This was also the first time Xie Yan had seen the other three. He asked, ¡°Luo Feng, who are these people?¡± ¡°The lawyer representing this incident,¡± Luo Feng said. It was all thanks to Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s connections that they were able to invite these three people over. With the money and a certain degree of social discussion, they were able to invite relatively famous lawyers in these three industries. Che Xuesong blinked and finally remembered why he felt that the three of them looked familiar. They were all local big shots. Even if they paid, they might not be able to hire a gold-medal lawyer! ¡°Your company is amazing,¡± Che Xuesong whispered to Xie Yan. ¡°But did the Chairman go to the ward?¡± Xie Yan looked at Xie Xuesong in surprise and pointed at Luo Feng. ¡°The Chairman¡¯s words are here.¡± Che Xuesong looked at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya in shock. He did not expect the company¡¯s management to be a student in her early twenties! Chapter 170 - 170 Playing Rogue, Let The Professionals Do It! 170 Playing Rogue, Let The Professionals Do It! From the moment Che Xuesong entered the hospital, he had been looking for the Chairman of Gather Sift Takeaway. When he saw that Xie Yan had taken on the position of the company¡¯s person-in-charge at such a young age, he mistakenly thought that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were just running errands to pick him up. He did not expect the company¡¯s director to be so young! Looking at the big shot lawyer behind the two of them, Che Xuesong¡¯s eyes immediately became honest. He did not dare to size up the two of them impudently. He had been lowering his head the entire time and heard Luo Feng talking to them about something. To be able to use these legal big shots to fight a mere Staged Crash dispute, how could he want to resolve the matter of extorting money? He wanted to take the other party¡¯s life! Che Xuesong followed behind them obediently. He did not dare to make a sound and obediently completed his record. The few of them walked towards the innermost room in the corridor. That was the ward where the old lady was staying. After the doctor gave the diagnosis that they could go home for conservative treatment, the old lady¡¯s family still shamelessly requested to be hospitalized. Hao Yingqiang had no choice but to pay for the old lady to lie on the bed. He was pestered by the old lady¡¯s family and could not return to school for the entire night. After Yang Bo heard about the situation, he rushed to the hospital to accompany him. Ali wanted to come with him, but he had to apply for a leave at school, so he stayed in the dormitory alone. Before Luo Feng reached the ward, he heard the commotion inside. ¡°What do you want! I bought the medicine and brought you into a ward! You still won¡¯t let us go!¡± Hao Yingqiang roared in despair. Not only did he spend all his living expenses, which were not much to begin with, but there were also things that his family had given him and what he had worked hard to earn. He had also implicated Yang Bo in a stalemate with the shameless old lady¡¯s family in the hospital for the entire night. Looking at Yang Bo¡¯s bloodshot eyes, Hao Yingqiang was filled with endless regret. The grievance and anger that he had accumulated for the entire night finally exploded. ¡°Don¡¯t go overboard!¡± Hao Yingqiang roared. ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s not our responsibility to begin with. We¡¯re already very benevolent!¡± Yang Bo defended Hao Yingqiang. Unfortunately, no matter how eloquent the two students were, they lacked social experience. How could they be a match for the old lady¡¯s family? The woman was not to be outdone either. She shouted at the top of her voice, ¡°What do you mean by being benevolent? It¡¯s only right and proper to knock people down and treat their injuries. Don¡¯t think that you don¡¯t have to pay compensation just because you¡¯re a university student! Let me tell you, I know the teachers in your school. If you dare to run, don¡¯t blame me for causing trouble in your school! I¡¯ll look for your principal! I¡¯ll see who taught you uneducated bad students!¡± ¡°100,000 yuan, not a cent less!¡± The woman¡¯s mouth was like a machine gun, hitting Hao Yingqiang and Yang Bo until they were riddled with holes. Moreover, it was the kind with unlimited ammunition. Yang Bo felt his eardrums hurt after listening to Hao Yingqiang¡¯s scolding the entire night. There was no need to mention Hao Yingqiang. Due to the financial and psychological pressure, his face was frighteningly pale. Clang! At this moment, the ward door was pushed open forcefully and Luo Feng and Ai Tingya walked in. ¡°Please keep quiet in the hospital,¡± Luo Feng said in a low voice. ¡°Luo Feng!¡± Hao Yingqiang and Yang Bo said in unison. When they saw Luo Feng, it was as if they had seen their savior and were closer than family. They all knew that even though they had the backing of a famous school and would not let women extort them, if there was anyone in the school who would solve Hao Yingqiang¡¯s urgent problem, it would definitely be Luo Feng! The woman opposite him had a strange look in her eyes. She was not afraid at all. Two young people and a delicate girl had arrived. Regardless of whether they were students from famous schools or not, they would only be reprimanded if they came. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can scare me just because you have a lot of people!¡± The woman placed her hands on her hips and said imposingly, ¡°I only have two words for you. Compensate me! Otherwise, none of you can leave!¡± Luo Feng glanced at her and did not say anything. Professional cases had to be handed over to professionals after all. Otherwise, the money would be wasted. He looked out the window and said, ¡°Everyone, come in.¡± The few lawyers they invited lined up and pushed the door open. Che Xuesong and Xie Yan followed at the back. The woman looked suspiciously at the adults who came in. They looked like they were more difficult to deal with than a few students. Her heart was beating a little fast. ¡°Are you looking for so many people to fight?!¡± The woman said defensively. A lawyer coughed lightly, clearly displeased with the woman¡¯s barbaric description. ¡°Madam, from now on, me and a few of my peers will be representing our client as the lawyers to deal with this liability dispute.¡± ¡°Lawyers?¡± The woman was stunned and frowned. ¡°Yes.¡± The lawyers nodded. They looked at the woman as if she was a lamppost, so calm that there was no emotion. ¡°We will sue you and your family for extortion, Terrorization, insults, and a series of other illegal acts that threaten my client¡¯s character and assets. By the way, since you detained my client for one night for no reason and met the legal conditions of unlawful detention, we will sue you for that as well.¡± The lawyers were like merciless and cold machines, as if they were just reading an article without any temperature. They swung it at the woman¡¯s head like a big stick, direct and merciless. At the door, Che Xuesong took out his phone and recorded the crushing scene. Then, he walked in and recorded everyone¡¯s expressions. ¡°What did you say!¡± The woman¡¯s hair stood on end. ¡°I¡¯m the one who wants to sue you for slander!¡± She pointed at Hao Yingqiang and said, ¡°He was the one who hit my mother, yet you guys are still in the right?¡± The lawyer said coldly, ¡°Madam, since you¡¯re accusing my client of hitting your mother, please produce evidence instead of accusing my client.¡± The other lawyer nodded and added, ¡°We¡¯ll be bringing in the most professional injury testing agency to examine the injuries of the injured and to see if they match my client¡¯s scooter bump. I might as well tell you one more thing. My client¡¯s scooter has a limited speed.¡± The woman looked at the two oppressive lawyers and felt so guilty that she couldn¡¯t speak. She didn¡¯t understand how far the injury examination could go, but she knew the truth better than anyone else. At this point, she could only be stubborn. ¡°If you want to test it, just do it. Who do you think you are¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯ll apply to the court for enforcement,¡± the other lawyer said impatiently. Such an explanation was a complete waste of time, but he had to do it. The woman swayed left and right in panic. The lawyers opposite her were like cold-blooded demons, not giving her any chance to catch her breath. Furthermore, they grabbed hold of the evidence in her words and suppressed her. ¡°By the way, we haven¡¯t introduced ourselves.¡± A lawyer took out his business card and handed it to the woman. ¡°We¡¯re lawyers from Ronghua Law Firm.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a lawyer with Hengsin Law Firm.¡± ¡°Guanzheng Law Firm.¡± The few lawyers introduced themselves simply and the woman¡¯s expression became uglier and uglier. She was a local after all. She might have never fought a serious lawsuit, but she had heard of a few major local cases. Any one of these lawyers in front of her was from a top law firm! Chapter 171 - 171 Seeking Death Without A Way Out? 171 Seeking Death Without A Way Out? When the lawyer and the woman were facing each other. Luo Feng stood at the side and watched their exciting performance. As expected of the helpers he had spent a high price to hire. The woman was speechless. Che Xuesong put down his phone and could not help but ask curiously, ¡°You must have spent more than 100,000 yuan to hire these lawyers, right?¡± Luo Feng stretched out five fingers and said, ¡°500,000 yuan.¡± This was a friendship price that was obtained through various connections. The lawyers present said that Hao Yingqiang¡¯s case was too simple after all, so they didn¡¯t say anything. Luo Feng had also hired two of them to become the company¡¯s legal advisers on the other hand. Luo Feng¡¯s voice was neither loud nor soft, but the ward was not big, so everyone could hear him clearly. Everyone¡¯s gazes seemed to be leaning towards Luo Feng. Che Xuesong saw Luo Feng¡¯s indifferent expression. ¡°Is it that serious¡­¡± ¡°How can it not be serious?¡± Luo Feng glanced at the woman intentionally. ¡°We want to let some unreasonable people know that they can¡¯t scare anyone just because they¡¯re fooling around! Let her see what capable people who treat reasoning as their job can do!¡± Che Xuesong knew that these words were also meant for the woman to hear. He blinked and said, ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Besides, the 100,000 yuan compensation is actually nothing to me. It would be easier.¡± Luo Feng looked at Hao Yingqiang. There was no blame in his eyes. Instead, there was encouragement. ¡°If I really give money casually, there will be another bad person in this world who will succeed and a good person who will suffer injustice. In order to avoid such a thing happening, I¡¯d rather spend 400,000 yuan more.¡± Hao Yingqiang was originally feeling very guilty. He knew that he had caused Luo Feng to spend hundreds of thousands more. Even if he didn¡¯t eat or drink, it would take years for him to return the money. He lowered his head, but someone put a hand on his shoulder. Hao Yingqiang looked up and saw Luo Feng say word by word, ¡°If spending 400,000 yuan can be exchanged for justice, I think it¡¯s worth it.¡± Che Xuesong revealed an appreciative gaze. He agreed with Luo Feng¡¯s point of view. When the lawyers heard Luo Feng¡¯s words, an imperceptible smile appeared on their cold faces. When they graduated, they had also been this hot-blooded, hoping to flatten the injustice in the world. Now, they were lawyers with an annual salary of tens of millions yuan, but they seemed to have lost their original dream. Looking at him now, they could not help but feel bitter nostalgia. The woman stood at the side and was just short of being scolded. She was not a fool and knew that Luo Feng was referring to her. She looked at Hao Yingqiang in frustration and thought to herself, Why didn¡¯t you say earlier that your friend loved to spend money? If you had known earlier, you would have used softer methods. Why did you have to provoke lawyers? ¡°Do you think you¡¯re a big deal if you¡¯re rich?! You will only bully innocent commoners like us!¡± The woman was at her wit¡¯s end and began to paint someone as something, to call someone names.¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡± Luo Feng raised his finger and shook it. ¡°Firstly, you¡¯re not innocent. Secondly, I never bully commoners. Thirdly, it¡¯s indeed a big deal to be rich.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s smile was so bright that the woman was about to go blind. Che Xuesong stood at the side, dumbfounded. What was this contradictory feeling of justice and deserving a beating? He was still recording this scene. Wouldn¡¯t he be mocked by the crowd if he released it? He quietly moved to Ai Tingya¡¯s side and asked curiously, ¡°Has your Chairman always spoken in this tone?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Ai Tingya was already used to Luo Feng showing off. To a certain extent, this kind of disregard for the secular world and happy personality was really enviable. When Che Xuesong saw Ai Tingya¡¯s confident answer, he really understood that Luo Feng was not bragging. He asked sincerely, ¡°Is he really not afraid of being beaten?¡± ¡°That¡¯s why he hired lawyers.¡± Ai Tingya looked at Che Xuesong with slight disdain. Che Xuesong gulped. He couldn¡¯t refute Ai Tingya¡¯s logic. To be honest, if he had three lawyers behind him, he would definitely be able to do whatever he wanted. It would be a lie to say that he wasn¡¯t envious. He picked up his phone again and aimed the camera at the woman. The arrogance he had commanded a few minutes ago had disappeared without a trace. His terrified eyes darted around as his mind raced to find a solution. The woman knew that she had hit the nail on the head this time. Acting shamelessly would definitely not work. She looked up at the calm Hao Yingqiang behind the crowd. Now that the attack and defense had changed, the woman knew that she had lost. ¡°Aiya, Mom, how do you feel?¡± The woman turned to the bed and pretended to tuck the old lady in with a look. The old lady immediately understood. She covered her head and said, ¡°Aiyo, my head hurts. I¡¯m a little confused. I seem to have remembered something important. Yes, yes, yes. I was hit by a car. That little boy is innocent. I was confused back then.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, boy. We misunderstood you.¡± The old lady sat up and looked at Hao Yingqiang guiltily. Her face was wrinkled and her hair was white. Her hands seemed to be covered with a layer of withered tree bark. The corners of her eyes drooped slightly. Just sitting there quietly made her look very pitiful. Not to mention starting to cry for no reason, as if they were the victims. When Hao Yingqiang saw this scene, he felt extremely ironic. In fact, he was the one who wanted to cry the most. If not for Luo Feng, he would be the most pitiful person. 100,000 yuan¡­ Hao Yingqiang¡¯s teeth were trembling when he mentioned this number. With his family background, 100,000 yuan was enough to skin his parents alive. He didn¡¯t know how the old lady¡¯s family could have the cheek to ask for that! More importantly, the lie of the old lady¡¯s family had given him a lot of new understanding of this world. If Luo Feng had not stepped forward to help him, Hao Yingqiang might really have been extremely disappointed in this world. Now that he thought about it, if he was given another chance to choose, Hao Yingqiang would definitely turn a blind eye. Recalling that there were still orders in the back seat of the electric scooter that hadn¡¯t been delivered, he felt extremely bitter. On the other hand, Hao Yingqiang was unfazed by the crying old lady. The others looked at Hao Yingqiang¡¯s indifferent expression and did not say anything. As soft-hearted as Ai Tingya was, she only felt that the old lady¡¯s family deserved it and didn¡¯t want to waste her breath pleading for them. ¡°My mother is an old woman. She¡¯s apologizing to you humbly. What else do you want her to do?¡± The woman¡¯s eyes were filled with tears as she questioned Luo Feng. Seeing that the old man¡¯s tears were useless, she rolled on the ground and kicked her legs around. She cried and shouted, ¡°You¡¯re forcing us to our deaths! Old people are old and can¡¯t remember things clearly. There¡¯s a small misunderstanding. You¡¯re so rich. Why are you arguing with me?!¡± ¡°You only know how to bully honest people. Will you only let my mother off if I die?¡± The woman continued to say harsh words, and her unbridled cries attracted the doctors and nurses over. Chapter 172 - 172 We Are Bad People, We Have No Morals 172 We Are Bad People, We Have No Morals The cries in the ward shook the sky, and the door was blocked by the onlookers. Che Xuesong had a good impression of Luo Feng. He was worried that the two young people would ignore the importance of public opinion, so he gave them a look. The three of them parted the crowd and walked into the hidden fire escape. Che Xuesong said, ¡°Are you still going to sue them? Actually, I suggest you stop while you¡¯re ahead. If they really risk their lives, I¡¯m afraid it will be even harder to stop.¡± Luo Feng did not say anything and only looked at Che Xuesong quietly. ¡°I¡¯m telling you the worst outcome,¡± Che Xuesong explained. ¡°In this situation, you can say that you¡¯ve won completely. If you continue to pursue the matter, I¡¯m afraid the public opinion will turn around. Being scolded might only be a small matter.¡± He had been in the news industry for many years. In recent years, Luo Feng¡¯s actions could easily be misinterpreted by people with ulterior motives. Luo Feng was a rich person and faced an old woman in her seventies or eighties after all. The audience did not care about the cause and effect. It was very easy for them to take on the role of an old person. Luo Feng naturally understood. The current trend was that whoever was old was right, and whoever was weak was right. Moreover, this trend might continue for several years. Che Xuesong had seen too much and was deeply touched by this matter. He also sincerely reminded Luo Feng and Hao Yingqiang to prevent the two young and impetuous people from fighting for a moment of victory and delaying their future. Luo Feng did not express his stance. Instead, he looked at Hao Yingqiang. Hao Yingqiang clenched his fists indignantly and was also not in a hurry to speak. He was not an unreasonable person. This time, the other party had gone too far. He was very conflicted. He did not want to let the bad guy off or cause trouble for Luo Feng. Luo Feng looked at his expression and already knew what Hao Yingqiang was thinking. ¡°We can¡¯t just let it go,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°What?¡± Che Xuesong and Hao Yingqiang looked at Luo Feng at the same time, their faces filled with surprise. Hao Yingqiang looked worried and worried about Luo Feng. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s worse to have one more pitiful bad person in this world or to have one less group of warm-hearted good people?¡± Luo Feng looked at the two of them. How could Che Xuesong not understand what Luo Feng meant? He shook his head and sighed. Since he had already said that, the rest would depend on Luo Feng¡¯s methods. The three of them explained the situation and prepared to return to the ward. On the way, Luo Feng said to Che Xuesong, ¡°Please give Hao Yingqiang an alias when you report. The most important thing is still in the company¡¯s name.¡± When Hao Yingqiang heard this, he revealed a grateful expression. He understood that Luo Feng was protecting him. Otherwise, as a student, he would have to endure unimaginable public opinion. At this moment, the ward was already filled with people. Other than the other patients who were watching the commotion, there were also doctors and nurses. Even the security guards had arrived. When the woman saw that the person involved, Hao Yingqiang, and the person in charge, Luo Feng, would be here, her emotions suddenly exploded. She abandoned her crying mother and rushed to the window sill, one foot already stepping out. ¡°We¡¯re honest people in our family. We don¡¯t have money, so we can only let you bully us. If you force me again today, I¡¯ll jump down from here!¡± The woman cried even harder. She did not know if she had frightened Luo Feng and the others, but it must have frightened the doctors and nurses who came to the entire family. If this person wanted to jump, no matter what the reason was, the hospital would definitely be responsible. ¡°Don¡¯t jump, don¡¯t jump! We¡¯re on the fourth floor!¡± ¡°Come down first. Let¡¯s talk things out!¡± The doctors and nurses spoke in groups, afraid that the woman would really take things too hard. Seeing that more and more people were watching and many of them were worried about her, the woman was secretly delighted. She did not believe that Luo Feng could force her to jump off a building with so many people watching. A few brave nurses and doctors wanted to pull the woman, but the woman clung to the window frame and refused to come down. She shouted, ¡°They want me to die! They want to force me to die! I¡¯ll die here today!¡± Gradually, every corner of the ward was filled with onlookers. The more people came, the louder the woman¡¯s voice became. She repeated the injustice she thought she had suffered over and over again. In short, she said, ¡°Ask Luo Feng to forgive them. Don¡¯t hold them accountable.¡± She made her family sound especially pitiful, said that the blackmailers were old people who remembered wrongly, and said that Luo Feng and the others were unreasonable. In short, they were as pitiful as they could be. Some people who did not know the truth could not bear it and stood up to speak up for the woman. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up. Don¡¯t really kill anyone.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Look at how pitiful they are.¡± ¡°Young people, you should be lenient wherever possible. You will grow old one day.¡± ¡°How pitiful. How could he have the heart to force her like this¡­¡± More and more people were persuading him, and Che Xuesong¡¯s expression became more and more unsightly. Being coerced by the crowd, he seemed to have become an accomplice in oppressing ordinary people. He knew that gossip was scary. He was most afraid of encountering such a thing. At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and sized up Luo Feng and the other students with the disdain of an elder. In the end, he shook his head in disdain. ¡°He¡¯s about to jump off a building, but you¡¯re still being aggressive. You look young, but why are you so ruthless?¡± the middle-aged man said to Luo Feng. It was obvious that he was here to uphold justice. Luo Feng looked at him in surprise. Before he could say anything, Ai Tingya suddenly took a step forward. ¡°Then, Sir, what do you think we should do?¡± ¡°What to do?¡± The middle-aged man looked like he had been through this before. He said arrogantly, ¡°Of course, we should take a step back. We have to be kind, understand?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Ai Tingya dragged out her words and nodded meaningfully. She looked like she had been convinced by the man. After teaching the obedient and beautiful young lady, the man became even more smug. ¡°As a person, we have to be lenient where possible. Besides, this old lady is already so old. Her mind is a little muddled. What¡¯s wrong with us understanding it? It¡¯s not easy for everyone. We have to help as much as we can.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Ai Tingya was even more convinced. ¡°You¡¯re so kind-hearted. Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years.¡± These two sentences almost made the middle-aged man fly into the sky. He felt that he could still educate him more, so he said, ¡°Of course! I¡¯ve walked for decades more than you. If it were me, I would definitely pay for the medical fees. All of you are still university students. You should train more like me. Don¡¯t spend all your time reading books in school. Be more compassionate.¡± Ai Tingya had been waiting for this sentence. She applauded and said, ¡°Sir, you¡¯re really a role model for us. We agree that you would pay on their behalf.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Ah?¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s mouth widened and he stood rooted to the ground. Ai Tingya said, ¡°You said it yourself. My classmates helped them to pay for their medical bills first. Now that you¡¯ve said it, we¡¯re too embarrassed to ask them for it. This is an old person, after all. However, since you¡¯re willing, we¡¯ll give you this opportunity to show our love first. You have to set an example.¡± Chapter 173 - 173 Compensation! It Should Have Been Like This! 173 Compensation! It Should Have Been Like This! ¡°This¡­¡± The middle-aged man was speechless. ¡°My classmate¡¯s family background isn¡¯t very good either. Just look at how he used his spare time to work. Sir, you¡¯re more caring. How can you watch a diligent student starve?¡± Ai Tingya said. Wasn¡¯t it just a competition of love? In any case, it was enough as long as he showed his love. He did not have to pay for it himself. Who said that? The others looked at Hao Yingqiang, who was still wearing his takeaway uniform, and felt that what Ai Tingya said made sense. This student looked rather pitiful. ¡°Isn¡¯t your company rich?¡± The middle-aged man retorted. He had heard from the woman that Luo Feng was the Chairman of some company. He even spent a high price to hire a lawyer. He should have the money to pay! ¡°But we young people are heartless,¡± Ai Tingya said matter-of-factly, making the middle-aged man speechless. Che Xuesong stood at the back, covering his mouth to stop himself from laughing too loudly. The middle-aged man wanted to teach a few students a lesson here, but he didn¡¯t expect to be taught a lesson instead. Ai Tingya revealed a gentle smile and said, ¡°Sir, you¡¯re right. People like us who don¡¯t have a heart. Of course, we can¡¯t compare to you.¡± The middle-aged man was speechless. He wanted to say, ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± However, Ai Tingya had already extended her hand. ¡°May I ask if you want to use cash or card?¡± The middle-aged man looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s fair hand and took a step back. He subconsciously protected his wallet and muttered, ¡°Crazy, what does it have to do with me?¡± Then, he slipped away, not even bothering to watch the show. Ai Tingya swept her gaze across the crowd of onlookers. The rest immediately took two steps back, not daring to come out and be a good person. After all, if she persuaded them, their wallets would not deflate. If they really had to pay, they might as well not be good people. Upon hearing Ai Tingya¡¯s words, the number of people watching the commotion at the door decreased by half, and the ward instantly became much more spacious. Luo Feng placed his hands behind his back and watched quietly. A gratified smile appeared on his face. He wondered who this little girl had learned it from. She even knew how to flatter and kill. ¡°Not bad, Tingya. You¡¯re really so bad that I¡¯m impressed.¡± Luo Feng leaned close to Ai Tingya¡¯s ear and blew. Ai Tingya blushed slightly, but she was not as flustered as before. She gently poked Luo Feng¡¯s stomach with her elbow and said, ¡°I learned it all from you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Luo Feng touched his chin and felt that anyone who saw him would praise him. ¡°You¡¯re a bad person, so I can only be a bad person. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of you?¡± Ai Tingya winked playfully. Luo Feng felt his heart tremble. The spark of love that Ai Tingya had released had completely hit the bullseye. This girl had unknowingly learned how to flirt without knowing it. If not for the fact that there were too many people in the ward, Luo Feng would definitely educate her. After all, ward play¡­ ahem, he digressed. Ai Tingya ignored Luo Feng. She opened her big eyes and swept them across everyone¡¯s faces. Her face said, ¡°Those who want to be good people, feel free to stand up.¡± The others looked down and pretended not to see anything. The woman who was hugging the window frame was very embarrassed. She didn¡¯t cause the effect she wanted. She couldn¡¯t jump now or go down. She was like a cat stuck in the door frame. Even though there were still tears on her face, her eyes were shrewd as she observed her surroundings, looking for an existence that was beneficial to her. After looking around, the woman was at her wits¡¯ end. She could only use the remaining doctors and nurses. They were the ones who were most worried that she would really jump. She could use them again. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t want to live anymore. I¡¯ll just die!¡± The woman turned to look downstairs and pretended to jump. ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t!¡± The doctors and nurses were scared out of their wits. They were afraid that if she really jumped, the hospital would have to bear a huge responsibility. Their faces were ashen. They did not dare to bet on whether the woman was scaring them. They did not dare, but Luo Feng did. He was certain that the woman cherished her life and did not dare to jump. Hence, he said to the medical staff, ¡°Everyone, I think it¡¯s better to ask your leader to handle this matter. Your leader will definitely have more experience than you.¡± They thought that it made sense. They were only in charge of treating illnesses and not psychological counseling. At this time, finding a leader was the most reliable method. ¡°You¡¯re right. I¡¯ll go now!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go too!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get the head nurse!¡± A few conscientious doctors and nurses quickly disappeared through the door. Other than the old lady crying, no one else in the ward dared to speak up for the woman. No one tried to persuade her. This time, it was the woman who was timid. She looked at the height downstairs and shivered in the window frame. Luo Feng sneered. He was sure that the woman was just acting. The onlookers might be able to tell the truth. They were just standing on the moral high ground to farm their presence, or like the doctors and nurses just now, they were afraid of taking on inexplicable responsibilities. With one hand in his pocket, he seemed to be waiting for the show to start. He raised his other hand, indicating that the woman could continue. She could cry or jump if she wanted to. ¡°¡­I¡¯ll really jump¡­¡± the woman said hoarsely. ¡°¡­Okay.¡± Luo Feng replied indifferently and turned to Ai Tingya. ¡°What are we going to eat later? I¡¯m a little hungry. There seems to be a good restaurant nearby.¡± They had come to the hospital early in the morning after staffing the team. Moreover, the big shot lawyers had specially made a trip over. He would definitely treat them to a meal. ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try. I heard that their beef is very good,¡± Ai Tingya said. The group of people in the ward naturally started to ask questions about food, making the women crave it. She had been pestering the hospital for the entire night and had not eaten dinner or breakfast. The woman felt that she was the one who was the hungriest. But now, she was jumping off a building! Can these people show some respect for her life?! Luo Feng was engrossed in his discussion and took some time out of his busy schedule to give the woman some attention. He revealed a very surprised expression, as if he was wondering why the woman was still here. ¡°If you want to jump, jump. If not, come down. Don¡¯t delay our lunch, okay?¡± Luo Feng did not indulge her at all. The woman pitifully stretched out her numb legs and silently stepped back into the room. The old lady on the bed also stopped crying at the right time and quietly hid under the blanket, not daring to make a sound. They all understood that the person in charge of this group was Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng was a stubborn person. Threats were just a horse show to him, and it was very boring. He would not let his emotions fluctuate just because of a meaningless threat. Crying, throwing a tantrum, and hanging themselves were useless to him! ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng rolled his eyes. It would have been better if this had happened earlier. He had wasted so much time. ¡°We¡­¡± The woman glared at the old lady on the bed and resigned herself to her fate. ¡°We¡¯ll pay!¡± Luo Feng nodded at the lawyer who had been waiting quietly for a long time. ¡°As for the exact amount of compensation, our lawyer will give you a total amount after calculating.¡± ¡°Yes, based on the rough estimates, you need to compensate our client for the loss of work, loss of reputation, and the civil compensation for illegal detention,¡± The lawyers said calmly. Chapter 174 - 174 Highlight Of The News, Wouldn’t It Be This Beautiful Face? 174 Highlight Of The News, Wouldn¡¯t It Be This Beautiful Face? Hearing the long list of compensation, the woman¡¯s face was filled with despair. She had no choice but to accept her fate and agree weakly. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll compensate¡­¡± All of this was their own fault, and it should have been a reward for Hao Yingqiang¡¯s kindness. However, Luo Feng felt that it was far from enough. ¡°Oh yes, you still have to apologize to my friend through public channels.¡± The woman said obediently, ¡°I apologize.¡± Seeing that she had finally relented, a smile appeared on Hao Yingqiang¡¯s haggard face. Not only did he not have to compensate her, but he could also take back what originally belonged to him. Hao Yingqiang¡¯s eyes turned red, and he suddenly had the urge to cry. He covered his eyes and tried his best not to cry. When Yang Bo saw this, he gently patted his back. After a night of torment, he finally received good news. ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t be in a hurry to cry.¡± Luo Feng clapped his hands and said, ¡°You must be hungry. Let¡¯s go eat first. It¡¯s all thanks to the lawyers¡¯ help today. Reporter friend, come along.¡± Che Xuesong waved his hand and said, ¡°You guys go ahead and eat. Don¡¯t mind me. I have to go back and organize the materials first. Hurry up and publish the article after writing it.¡± Reporters fought for breaking news in their jobs. In order to be one step ahead of their peers, it was common for them to not be able to eat. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t force you to stay.¡± Luo Feng extended his hand and said, ¡°Thank you for your help this time. Let¡¯s meet again next time.¡± ¡°Of course, Chairman.¡± Che Xuesong shook his hand. Luo Feng was more of a leader than he had imagined. Che Xuesong returned to the office with his notes. As soon as he sat down and took a sip of water, the director stood at the door like a ghost and said leisurely, ¡°Are you done? How¡¯s the situation?¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Che Xue spat out a mouthful of water. ¡°Ch¡­ Chief, are you waiting for me?¡± ¡°Cut the crap. How¡¯s the situation?¡± ¡°Ahem!¡± Che Xuesong coughed lightly and roughly explained the cause and effect of the matter to the director. He thought that the director would be very surprised. After all, he was also very concerned about this matter. However, the more Che Xuesong talked, the deeper the director¡¯s frown became. He shook his head repeatedly and said, ¡°It¡¯s not very good. There¡¯s no story at all.¡± In the end, Luo Feng crushed them the entire time. There were no ups and downs at all and they could not attract readers at all. Che Xuesong remained silent. How could he not know that what had happened could not compare to the various news in the past? However, Luo Feng had the strength, and the woman who had scammed him was blind. It was reasonable for her to be suppressed. There was nothing eye-catching about it, but it was the truth. Che Xuesong agreed with the chief. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just leave this for now,¡± the Chief said. Che Xuesong opened his mouth, wanting to refute the director. After all, it was the result of his hard work. He would feel a little indignant if he did not send it out. He said, ¡°You should take a look at the material this time.¡± He connected his phone to the computer and played the video. When the director saw the person on the screen, his eyes widened slightly and he watched seriously. However, his frown deepened. Che Xuesong looked at the director¡¯s expression and knew that there was no chance. He said dejectedly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll chase after the next news material immediately.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to chase?¡± The director adjusted his glasses and said, ¡°Young man, you have to listen to the leader¡¯s arrangements, understand?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Che Xuesong did not understand what the director meant. He saw the director press the pause button and point at Ai Tingya¡¯s side profile. ¡°This face is already very attractive. Why do you need a story?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Che Xuesong was speechless. That worked? ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and write the news. Are you waiting for me to teach you step by step?¡± The director said and left the office with his hands behind his back. Che Xuesong silently turned off the video and sighed deeply as he looked out the window. This leader¡¯s heart was really like a needle in a haystack. Che Xuesong rested for a while and ordered takeout. He only started working after filling his stomach. His media was a traditional print media. In the past two years, in order to cater to the changing market, it had also expanded online and cooperated with various portals. The Internet spread faster, so Che Xuesong cut the video sample first. After a while, the director strolled to Che Xuesong¡¯s office with his hands behind his back and asked, ¡°Are you done?¡± ¡°Done.¡± Che Xuesong nodded. ¡°Well, show me.¡± The chief walked over to the computer. Before he clicked on the video, his brows were already knitted together. Then, he sighed. Che Xuesong thought to himself that his work ability was not that bad. Why did the Chief start to be dissatisfied at first glance? ¡°You, you¡¯ve been working for so many years. Why can¡¯t you grasp the main point?¡± His tone was as though he was expecting better from someone. There was even a hint of sternness. He had already said so much. Why did Che Xuesong not understand at all! ¡°Director¡­ I¡­ I¡¯ll modify it again?¡± Che Xuesong felt very guilty. He quickly recalled his video. All the key points were cut into it. He checked it three times himself. There shouldn¡¯t be anything missing! ¡°Change! You must change it!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Che Xuesong clicked on the video and played it again. He did not see what the problem was even after he watched it again. The video content was connected smoothly. He included the cause and effect, the expressions of everyone at the critical moment. What exactly was the director dissatisfied with? ¡°Um, Director, how should I fix it?¡± Che Xuesong asked carefully. The Chief glanced at him, his eyes glowing with an unusual light. ¡°Let me ask you,¡± he said. ¡°What do you think is the most important thing to do in journalism?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ um¡­ Social responsibility? As a reporter, we have to have a social responsibility to expose the ugliness and promote justice?¡± Che Xuesong recalled the distant memories that Luo Feng had evoked. When he graduated back then, he was just like those students. His blood was boiling and he wanted to eliminate the strong and help the weak to repay society. However, his subsequent work experience was not satisfactory. In order to compete for the headlines, Che Xuesong had done things that avoided the important and avoided the trivial. Could it be that the Chief was hot-blooded and felt that the video was not sharp enough? That it did not reflect the realities of society? That it did not cause people to think deeply? If that was the case, Che Xuesong felt that he was indeed lacking. For a moment, it was as if Che Xuesong had discovered the Chief¡¯s treasure. His eyes were filled with admiration. In the past, he had thought that the director was an old antique, but now it seemed that he was too shallow. ¡°The most important thing in journalism is the cover!¡± The director looked at Che Xuesong as if he was looking at an idiot. ¡°Can¡¯t you have some self-awareness and use that girl¡¯s face as the cover?¡± ¡°¡­Huh?¡± Che Xuesong did not follow the Chief¡¯s pace. ¡°Sigh¡­ young man, you still have much to learn.¡± The Chief shook his head and silently left the office. He seemed to have completed some magnificent feat and was exhausted. Che Xuesong¡¯s lips twitched. He did not understand what sort of fashion standard the Chief was following¡­ Chapter 175 - 175 Fame Widened, A New Busy Period 175 Fame Widened, A New Busy Period Che Xuesong was especially aggrieved as he changed the cover of the video to a high-definition photo of Ai Tingya¡¯s face. He did not use any brains and did exactly as his leader asked. He felt that he was a conscientious and aspiring journalist with social responsibility. The director¡¯s opinion was a complete insult to him. ¡°How vulgar! We should have some professionalism!¡± Che Xuesong uploaded the video and kept muttering. Che Xuesong sat at his desk after the video was uploaded. He did not want to care about the feedback of the video at all. He first went to busy himself with other things. Not long after, a colleague from the Internet department suddenly ran over and said excitedly, ¡°Old Che, Old Che! The video you uploaded exploded. The number of clicks was too scary!¡± ¡°???¡± Che Xuesong felt that there was something wrong with his ears. He ran back to the computer and opened the video homepage. As expected, the comments below were still increasing after it hit the upper limit at 999+. ¡°Can anyone tell me what the news said? I¡¯m only admiring the girl¡¯s looks!¡± ¡°Three minutes. I want all the information about this girl!¡± ¡°Hahahahaha, the little girl is so good at talking. She¡¯s so bad. I like her so much.¡± ¡°She¡¯s beautiful and righteous. I love her. Do as you please.¡± Che Xuesong scrolled through the praised comments. Not many of them discussed the news content. Instead, their attention was all on Ai Tingya¡¯s looks. Che Xuesong even wondered if he was spreading Ai Tingya¡¯s autobiography. Why did the discussion deviate so much! ¡°Tsk, this is indeed a vulgar world.¡± Che Xuesong sneered and sat on the chair with his arms crossed. The colleagues who came to join in the fun looked puzzled. Why did Che Xuesong look unhappy when his news became a hot topic? ¡°We haven¡¯t had any big news in a long time. Why aren¡¯t you happy?¡± His colleague asked. Che Xuesong silently took out a cigarette and lit it up. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Then, he said meaningfully, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. This kind of news is not my dream¡­¡± The door of the director¡¯s office suddenly opened just as the two of them were discussing the spiritual world that journalists should have. The director stood at the door with a smile and shouted, ¡°Che Xuesong, the news is not bad. The others should learn more about the bonus this month!¡± ¡°Yes! It¡¯s all because of the leader¡¯s guidance. I¡¯ll definitely work harder and work hard to be on the same level as you, striving to achieve better results! Thank you, Leader!¡± Che Xuesong stood up with a whoosh and ran over to thank the director profusely, as if his spiritual world had been greatly satisfied. His colleague¡¯s face was filled with disdain. What happened to the great spiritual world? It was all filled with bonuses, right? ¡°Hey, hey, hey. Didn¡¯t you say that this kind of news isn¡¯t your dream?¡± ¡°Dream? My dream is to get a bonus! There¡¯s no conflict, right?¡± Che Xuesong smiled until his teeth were visible. ¡°¡­Alright.¡± The colleague was speechless. ¡­ The news on the Internet spread quite quickly. It did not take long for it to reach Luo Feng¡¯s school. The media company that Che Xuesong was in was not very big, but it was a local veteran media after all. It also had a certain amount of influence locally. Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s reputation had also increased because of Che Xuesong¡¯s report. Not only the vicinity of the university area, but even places that were not covered by Gather Sift Takeaway knew of a new takeaway company. What¡¯s more, it was a very hot company. It would encourage employees to be brave and not bow down to sin. It was rare. Very rare! Many people began to try to use the takeaway website because of this and became loyal customers of Gather Sift Takeaway. However, these could not compare to the popularity of Ai Tingya and Good Me Milk Tea Shop. As Ai Tingya had already become famous in the school forum, her information was no longer a secret. Some students took advantage of this opportunity to release her information. This time, more people knew that Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop had a young and beautiful lady boss behind it. Many people specially drove for a few hours to the main shop to drink milk tea because of Ai Tingya¡¯s looks. Ai Tingya had been busy with the final exams recently and spent most of her time in the library. She rarely went to the shop to help. Xiao Fei was the one taking care of the customers who came because of her reputation. Xiao Fei was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground. She was tired and happy. She could not help but call Ai Tingya to tell her the good news. ¡°Xiaoya, the shop is also filled with people today. Everyone is asking me about you!¡± Xiao Fei said happily. ¡°What?¡± Ai Tingya was a little stunned. She had not left school for many days. She did not care about anything outside and did not know what was happening outside. After hanging up, Ai Tingya stared at the textbook in front of her in a daze. She felt worried. She put down the textbook and went to the shop. As soon as she reached the door, she was shocked by the scene in the shop. There were dense customers standing outside the shop. The queue for milk tea had already reached the end of the street. Even though they had bought milk tea, the customers were unwilling to leave and stood at the door to chat. This also became the best signboard. Many passersby were also attracted by this exaggerated team. Ai Tingya stood at the door and immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Their gazes converged on her like spotlights. Some people even secretly took out their phones and took photos. ¡°What¡­ What¡¯s going on?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s mouth fell open. She had once again witnessed the power of popularity. In the shop. Xiao Fei was so busy that her feet hit the back of her head. She was as tired as a dog, but she did not dare to stop. When she saw Ai Tingya arrive, it was as if she had seen her savior. She squeezed through the crowd and pulled Ai Tingya into the shop. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xiao Ya. I even asked you to help when you were preparing for the exam.¡± Xiao Fei pulled Ai Tingya. ¡°But I really have no choice. There are too many guests. It¡¯s not enough for me to call all the employees over!¡± Originally, the main shop had enough manpower. After all, Luo Feng had built a high-end milk tea shop and was very well-equipped. Moreover, it was on two shifts. However, business was too good. The employees on break were also helping in the shop, but they were too busy. ¡°Ah¡­ I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Ai Tingya looked at the noisy scene in the shop in a daze. Ai Tingya felt this strange feeling. She seemed to have really become famous¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s¡­ let¡¯s deal with the current situation first.¡± Ai Tingya shook her head and put aside the unnecessary things for the time being. She put on her work clothes and began to help. However, more people came to see her when she was here. Xiao Fei saw that there were more people with Ai Tingya¡¯s help, making her even busier. ¡°Why don¡¯t we call Luo Feng? What has he been busy with recently?¡± Xiao Fei¡¯s first reaction was to ask Luo Feng to come over. After all, Luo Feng¡¯s physical fitness was very good. He could withstand three people by himself. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I haven¡¯t seen him in a few days. He should be preparing for the final exams.¡± What Ai Tingya did not know was that Luo Feng was not in school at all. Chapter 176 - 176 Is A Luxury Car Good Enough As A Birthday Gift? 176 Is A Luxury Car Good Enough As A Birthday Gift? For the past two days, Luo Feng had brought his parents around to see the nearby scenic spots while Ai Tingya was revising. Father and Mother Luo have just arrived at the new city. Everything they saw was very novel. They ate and shopped everywhere, taking photos as souvenirs. They were extremely busy. ¡°By the way, Little Feng, you¡¯re accompanying us everywhere every day. Aren¡¯t you going to class?¡± Mother Luo extracted a moment of calmness from her joy and asked Luo Feng about his results. ¡°The final exam is coming up, so there are very few classes,¡± Luo Feng said calmly. ¡°Huh? Aren¡¯t you going back to revise?¡± Mother Luo asked in surprise, worried that she would delay her son¡¯s studies. Luo Feng looked at his mother in surprise, wondering why she was worried about such a thing. He asked in confusion, ¡°You¡¯re actually worried about my results?¡± Mother Luo thought to herself, What a joke. If I¡¯m not worried about your results, who else can I worry about? ¡°What else do you want me to worry about?¡± Mother Luo laughed. ¡°Love life?¡± ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng realized that his thoughts were no longer on the same level as his mother¡¯s. ¡°I mean, did you see that your son is the top scorer of the college entrance examination? You¡¯re actually worried that the top scorer¡¯s results will decline?¡± He sincerely doubted it. After all, with the enhancement of the cheat, Luo Feng still maintained a photographic memory. When Mother Luo heard her son¡¯s bold words, she suddenly did not know how to respond. Why did she feel that she was worried for nothing? ¡°Uh¡­ A good man doesn¡¯t mention his past bravery. Think about it yourself.¡± Mother Luo pouted. She cared about her son out of good intentions, but she showcased her strength in the end. If she had known earlier, she would have enjoyed her vacation. Why did she care about this brat? The family of three stood by the street. Mother Luo realized that Father Luo was even dressed very formally today. ¡°Where are you taking us to play today?¡± Mother Luo asked Luo Feng. She also checked her clothes. It was very appropriate. She would not lose face even if she went to a high-end venue. At the thought of the violin and candlelight dinner, Mother Luo could not suppress her excitement. ¡°I want to buy Tingya a birthday gift today. Come with me to take a look,¡± Luo Feng said. Mother Luo had so much fun these two days that she had almost forgotten the business here. They were here to celebrate Ai Tingya¡¯s birthday. They really should prepare a birthday gift! Too many things had happened in the past year. Not only had he successfully enrolled in his desired university, he had also opened a third milk tea shop near the school. Moreover, he had also successfully expanded to other places and developed the takeaway industry. It could be said that his career had taken a huge step forward. Ai Tingya has also been extremely busy this year. She had to take care of her studies and career and had even found her family. Luo Feng felt that it was very valuable for a few years, so he had to give Ai Tingya a big gift on her birthday! After thinking about it, he decided to give Ai Tingya a car. That would be worthy of her status as the General Manager of the company, right? The three of them walked to the door of a Ferrari. The main color in the shop was flamboyant red. There were all kinds of classic memorial models in the window, giving off a high and mighty aura. This was the first time Father and Mother Luo had seen a luxury car shop up close. They swallowed nervously. There was only one slightly larger 4S point in their small city after all. There were quite a lot of people in the shop. There were many rich local people after all. Luo Feng brought his parents in and did not receive any strange gazes. The others were busy with their own matters and did not have time to look at unrelated passersby. The sales lady walked over enthusiastically and smiled like a spring breeze. ¡°Hello, what do you need here?¡± The young lady was good-looking and had light makeup on. She was wearing appropriate professional clothes, which complemented her temperament very well. She was an employee of a luxury shop after all, so she had higher requirements for her appearance. Luo Feng looked around and did not find anyone he liked. Father Luo beat him to it. ¡°Ahem, buy a car.¡± He suppressed his voice and made a bubble sound, making his voice sound deep and clear. It was the complete opposite of his usual unclear expression. He had the calm look of a successful person who was used to seeing storms. The sales lady smiled even more sweetly. ¡°May I ask if you have a car model you like?¡± ¡°I¡­ Ah!¡± Father Luo¡¯s scream attracted Luo Feng¡¯s attention. He turned around and saw Mother Luo slowly retracting her hand. Father Luo covered the back of his red hand and dared not say anything. He could only complain about Mother Luo¡¯s ¡°dictatorship¡± with his eyes! Mother Luo gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re flirting the moment you see that the young lady is good-looking?¡± The sour smell in her words was so strong that Luo Feng could smell it from three steps away. Father Luo knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to say anything. He smiled apologetically and said, ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen my son buy such an expensive car. I¡¯m afraid that he won¡¯t have any experience. My dear wife, I was wrong.¡± Father Luo had no choice but to cozy up to his wife and quickly coax her in order to suppress Mother Luo¡¯s murderous gaze. ¡°Hmph, and you have experience?¡± Mother Luo glared at him. ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you woke up early in the morning dressed up gorgeously because you sincerely wanted to hook up with a little girl!¡± She glanced at Father Luo¡¯s shirt and became angrier the more she thought about it. This time, Luo Feng also realized that his father¡¯s outfit today was indeed much more exquisite. His hair, which he was usually too lazy to tidy, was stuck to his scalp. It was even oily under the light. In terms of future aesthetics, Father Luo¡¯s outfit today was too greasy. However, in the 2000s, his shiny hairstyle was the standard for successful people. Most importantly, Father Luo was wearing the shirt that he could not bear to wear because Mother Luo had bought it for him for 100 yuan 10 years ago. A hundred yuan in the 1990s was equivalent to a family¡¯s living expenses for a few months. Therefore, Father Luo was especially reluctant. He was only willing to take it out and wear it to every major festival, such as Luo Feng¡¯s school promotion banquet. It was also because he cherished it very much that the shirt he had bought for 10 years was still as new as ever. Thinking of this, Luo Feng could not help but look at his father suspiciously. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m just excited.¡± Father Luo panicked and hurriedly explained, ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve come to such an expensive shop. I definitely have to dress up.¡± He really liked cars. He also heard from Luo Feng that he wanted to buy a luxury car. Father Luo was so excited that he did not sleep for the entire night. He specially took out his trump card clothes so that he would not look so inexperienced and not embarrass Luo Feng. Luo Feng did not expect his father, who was usually silent, to have so many inner thoughts. ¡°I took out my branded shirt to boost my son¡¯s reputation!¡± Father Luo hurriedly expressed his firm stand and fawned on Mother Luo. ¡°Look at the clothes you bought for me. I cherish them so much.¡± Father Luo smiled especially fawningly, making Luo Feng¡¯s molars ache. ¡°Dad, actually, this shirt¡­¡± Luo Feng felt a little sorry for him.¡± My mother bought it for a discount. It¡¯s less than 20 yuan. ¡± ¡°What?¡± Father Luo froze on the spot and turned to look at Mother Luo. Chapter 177 - 177 Everything About This Car Is Good, Apart From It Being Too Cheap 177 Everything About This Car Is Good, Apart From It Being Too Cheap Father Luo did not expect this. The shirt that he had meticulously protected for ten years was just his imagination! He could not believe it and turned to look at Mother Luo. Mother Luo pretended to look at the scenery and her guilty eyes drifted elsewhere. She looked at the sky and the ground, anywhere but at Father Luo. ¡°You actually deceived me like this?¡± Father Luo expressed his heartache! ¡°¡­I didn¡¯t expect you to be able to wear it for so long either¡­¡± Mother Luo muttered softly. In fact, she had been suffering for the past ten years. She felt very embarrassed every time she saw Father Luo take this shirt out to wear at important occasions. Father Luo clutched his chest and said in pain, ¡°You just think I¡¯m gullible¡­¡± Now that Mother Luo was in the wrong, it was not appropriate for her to deny it directly. She shifted the focus to Luo Feng. ¡°You too. If you didn¡¯t say anything, your father would have worn it very happily.¡± When Father Luo heard this, not only did he not feel comfortable, but he also felt even sadder. So you¡¯re treating me like a fool? I¡¯ll be happy with it for the rest of my life if it didn¡¯t come out like that?! Luo Feng also thought of how serious it was. He scratched his head and said in embarrassment, ¡°Forget it, Dad. I¡¯ll buy you a real branded shirt later. How about you choose it yourself?¡± Upon hearing this, Father Luo¡¯s anger instantly dissipated. He smiled and said, ¡°Hmph, my son still cares about me.¡± The sales lady watched a free sitcom at the side. without any change to her professional smile. She could tell that the person in charge in this family was the young man in front of her. Luo Feng looked around and didn¡¯t see anything he liked, so he said to the sales lady, ¡°Recommend it to me. I only have two conditions.¡± ¡°Please speak, sir.¡± Luo Feng extended a finger and said, ¡°Firstly, this car is for a girl. She¡¯s quiet and delicate, so don¡¯t be too ostentatious in terms of style. It¡¯s better to be reserved.¡± The sales lady felt troubled. When their luxury car was designed, they did not consider keeping a low profile. Or rather, it was very difficult to keep a low profile when it was a luxury car. She felt that Luo Feng probably meant that the color was not too eye-catching. ¡°Yes!¡± The sales lady nodded seriously. She was extremely envious. It was unknown which lucky girl was able to obtain an expensive luxury car. Luo Feng extended a second finger. ¡°The second requirement is¡­ expensive!¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ Hmm?¡± The sales lady tilted her head. This was the first time she had heard of such a request. Even if a millionaire came to their shop, he would ask if there were any discounts and directly ask for an expensive car. This was the first time. ¡°Yes, the more expensive the better.¡± Luo Feng was very serious. ¡°Um¡­ May I ask who you are buying it for¡­ your sister?¡± The sales lady¡¯s voice trembled. This was the only reasonable candidate she could think of. Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°My girlfriend.¡± The sales lady blinked and her gaze landed on Father Luo and Mother Luo. They were still conflicted about the shirt and did not know that he was negotiating in the opposite direction. Hence, she asked softly, ¡°Do your parents know about your request?¡± Luo Feng looked very young. The sales lady thought that she was spending her parents¡¯ money to buy a gift for her girlfriend. She felt that it was necessary to inform the person who paid in advance. Otherwise, she was afraid that the young man would not keep his word and would have worked for nothing. ¡°I know,¡± Luo Feng said in surprise. He turned around and said, ¡°Mom.¡± ¡°What?¡± Mother Luo found an opportunity to withdraw from Father Luo¡¯s complaints. Luo Feng said, ¡°I want to buy the most expensive car for Tingya!¡± ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll buy it!¡± Mother Luo said two simple words with an imposing manner. ¡°Don¡¯t let our Tingya suffer!¡± Mother Luo had helped Luo Feng look at the milk tea shop in Crown City for a period of time. Every time she checked the accounts at the end of the month and saw a large string of zeros in the income column, she could not help but be surprised. Just their small county milk tea shop could earn more than 100,000 yuan a month, not to mention that Luo Feng had opened eight shops in a big city. Moreover, their businesses were not bad, and their monthly income was at least one to two million yuan. Her son¡¯s ability to earn money far exceeded Mother Luo¡¯s imagination, so she did not ask Luo Feng about spending money. The salesgirl was so envious that she could not speak. Which family¡¯s lucky girl was this? To be able to meet a mother-in-law who was more generous than her boyfriend, did your family lack a daughter-in-law? She came back to her senses and asked, ¡°We have the latest car in our shop. We¡¯ve participated in the International Auto Show before. I think your girlfriend will like it.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Luo Feng was interested. ¡°Bring us there to take a look.¡± The sales lady brought the three of them to the innermost area and stopped in front of an ivory car. She introduced the design characteristics and performance configuration of this car very professionally. In short, it was a Master¡¯s design. It was the latest model this year. Luo Feng did not really listen to the introduction, but the more he looked at the car, the more he liked it. Especially the smooth and elegant lines of the car, it really matched Ai Tingya¡¯s temperament. ¡°How much?¡± Luo Feng went straight to the point. ¡°The price for the lowest configuration for this car is 3.8 million yuan,¡± the sales lady said. She sounded a little uneasy and was afraid that the price would scare the customers. This was because the design of this car was indeed very outstanding. Many customers who came to the shop liked the ivory car at a glance and had obvious intentions of buying it. However, this liking came to an abrupt end after asking for the price. This year¡¯s latest model had been here for almost half a month, but they had yet to find a master who had the ability to take it down. When Father Luo and Mother Luo heard this price, their hearts beat wildly and were about to rush out of their fragile chests. However, in accordance with their trust in their son, who had created miracles, the old couple held hands and pretended to be calm without saying a word. The sales lady¡¯s eyes were fixed on Luo Feng, paying attention to every change in his expression. Luo Feng looked at the car intently and frowned slightly. ¡°The lowest configuration? How much for the highest configuration?¡± ¡°¡­4.2 million yuan.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll buy it!¡± ¡°Really?¡± When the sales lady saw the card Luo Feng handed over, she felt surreal and dizzy. She really sold it so easily? It was like a dream. She took Luo Feng¡¯s card with both hands and heard him say, ¡°I like this car very much. I believe my girlfriend will like it too, so I can tolerate its shortcoming.¡± ¡°What shortcoming?¡± The sales lady was still dizzy. She couldn¡¯t think of any shortcomings other than the fact that the car was unaffordable. Of course, the unaffordability wasn¡¯t the car¡¯s shortcoming, but her own. ¡°Too cheap.¡± Luo Feng was dissatisfied with this. ¡°¡­ Hehe.¡± The sales lady¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°You¡¯re really humorous¡­¡± Indeed, she could not understand the world of the rich. Luo Feng also felt very helpless. The price of this car was far from the five million yuan he had expected. However, there was no choice. After all, this car was indeed very good-looking. A beautiful car paired with a beautiful lady. Just thinking about it made him excited. Chapter 178 - 178 Mother Luo Is Jealous? Make Up For It Together! 178 Mother Luo Is Jealous? Make Up For It Together! If possible, Luo Feng wanted to buy an even more expensive car for Ai Tingya. He had asked around before he came. Many luxury cars were quite troublesome to buy. For example, for some brands, not only did they have to pay for the car,they also had to satisfy a certain social status. Some brands had to spend a certain amount of money before they were qualified to buy some custom designs. Luo Feng did not have much time to waste on this. He would buy a car worth more than four million yuan to make up for it. The sales lady recovered from her shock and said enthusiastically, ¡°Our car is in stock. The upgrade configuration is very fast. You can come to pick up the car in the afternoon. As for the license plate, I need you to provide the identity information of your girlfriend. We can also process it together.¡± When she was talking about the process, the sales lady almost couldn¡¯t maintain her smile. Her tone was a little sour. She could come into contact with many upper-class people working in a luxury car shop. She had seen many rich second-generation heirs and many people bought cars for their girlfriends, but she had never seen a boyfriend¡¯s family buy cars for their girlfriends. They really treated the girl as family. Anyone who saw it would say, ¡°I¡¯m so envious!¡± Luo Feng nodded after hearing the steps. Anyway, Ai Tingya¡¯s birthday was still two days away, so he wasn¡¯t in a hurry at all. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Hurry up and swipe my card.¡± When he entered the password, he was quite forthright. Looking at the exaggerated number on the monitor screen, Luo Feng did not even blink. He quickly entered the number and showed that the payment was successful. Luo Feng smiled and nodded, as if he was quite satisfied with the four million yuan he had given. The rebate might be more than 40 million yuan but it was nothing for his net worth of more than 100 million yuan. However, this operation was very simple. He just had to look at the target and pay. There was no need to make up excuses or sell chicken soup. He could easily spend a lot of money. In less than an hour, he had earned 40 million yuan. In the eyes of the sales lady, the smile on his face was equivalent to a doting smile for his girlfriend. She said to Luo Feng, ¡°Sir, your girlfriend is so lucky.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Feng was stunned. ¡°Well¡­ I mean¡­ you¡¯re so good to your girlfriend. She must be very happy!¡± The sales lady blushed. She didn¡¯t know why she said this, but she just wanted to say what was on her mind. Luo Feng smiled and nodded. ¡°Thank you, but if you see my girlfriend, you will definitely understand why I treat her well.¡± ¡°I believe that your girlfriend must be very beautiful.¡± The sales lady said, with experience. A few of the girlfriends that rich second-generation heirs found were ugly. However, she also believed that Luo Feng¡¯s girlfriend must be devastatingly beautiful. She must be very outstanding in other aspects to be recognized by her boyfriend¡¯s family. ¡°Her beauty is the last merit worth mentioning.¡± Luo Feng felt that this term was a little shallow to describe Ai Tingya. After thinking about it carefully, he said firmly, ¡°My girlfriend brings fortune to her husband!¡± Brings fortune to her husband? The sales lady did not expect to hear such an old concept from a young man in his twenties. This seemed to be the standard for finding a wife in the previous century. ¡°Ahaha, you¡¯re really the most humorous person I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± The young lady could only say polite words. ¡°Haha, maybe.¡± Luo Feng could not help but show off his girlfriend. The sales lady watched as Luo Feng and his family left. The smile on her face collapsed, and her heart was so sour that it was about to turn into a walking lemon. She took out a mirror and looked at herself, wanting to see if she was also a fortune to her husband. Or did he mean their compatibility? Her colleague came over to congratulate her on her successful sales. Seeing that she was addicted to the mirror, he could not help but tease her. ¡°Alright, alright. You¡¯re beautiful enough. Why? Can¡¯t help but want to get a rich man?¡± The lady put down the mirror and said in a deep voice, ¡°Do you think I should go to the temple to pray?¡± ¡°What?¡± The colleague¡¯s head was filled with question marks. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to go to the temple to seek marriage? Do you still believe in this?¡± The sales lady looked in the direction of Luo Feng and said very seriously, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. There¡¯s always a reason for the tradition left behind by the ancestors.¡± ¡­ After Luo Feng and his family left the car shop, the father and son were excited about the new car and discussed it non-stop along the way. Mother Luo, who had always liked to chat, suddenly fell silent. She lowered her head and followed behind the two of them. At first, Luo Feng thought that his mother was worried about money. However, considering that she liked Ai Tingya more, he felt that it would pass after calming down. Even when they reached the entrance of the mall and were about to go in to buy a new shirt for Father Luo, Mother Luo still did not say a word. Luo Feng knew that this matter was definitely not simple! He turned around and realized that his father had also sensed that something was wrong with Mother Luo and was frantically winking at him. Luo Feng walked to Mother Luo¡¯s side and called, ¡°Mom?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mother Luo didn¡¯t know when Luo Feng had walked over, but she wasn¡¯t very interested. She replied with a monotone and lowered her head to look at her toes. Luo Feng and Father Luo understood Mother Luo¡¯s emotions too well. One look and they could tell that she had something on her mind. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°Nothing.¡± Mother Luo turned her face away, her mouth full of indifference. Under such circumstances, the more she said that there was nothing wrong, the more troublesome it became. Before Luo Feng could figure out what was going on, Father Luo leaned close to his ear and used his decades of experience to conclude, ¡°Your mother must be jealous!¡± ¡°Jealous?¡± This was the first time Luo Feng had seen it. ¡°That¡¯s right. Didn¡¯t you buy me a car at home? You bought Xiao Ai another one here¡­¡± Father Luo pointed out the main point. Luo Feng believed that Mother Luo treated Ai Tingya as a family. However, he had indeed neglected Mother Luo¡¯s feelings when he bought things for the two of them. Mother Luo felt very awkward and could not say it out loud. She could only sulk alone. She either lowered her head to look at her toes, looked around to distract herself, or did not look at the father and son. Luo Feng thought about it and agreed. Their purpose in coming to the mall was to buy a shirt for their father. They should indeed buy something for their mother. ¡°By the way, Mom, the things in this mall are all very good. Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s anything you like.¡± Luo Feng held his mother¡¯s arm. It had been a long time since he went shopping so intimately with his mother, perhaps since he started middle school. Actually, Mother Luo was very easy to coax. As long as her son was by her side, her mood would be better. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± Mother Luo perked up a little. The three of them went straight to a women¡¯s clothing store. Luo Feng picked out a black coat and gestured at Mother Luo¡¯s body twice. He felt that it was not bad. ¡°Mother, try it.¡± Mother Luo took a look. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to buy a shirt for your father? Why did you come to the women¡¯s clothing store and even buy clothes for me?¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Now that I¡¯ve earned money, do I need a reason to buy clothes for you? Try it first. I think this dress suits you especially well. It makes you look good!¡± Chapter 179 - 179 Luo Fengs New Crisis, Someones Poaching Her! 179 Luo Feng¡¯s New Crisis, Someone¡¯s Poaching Her! ¡°You look especially good!¡± Luo Feng praised and took a few clothes that were suitable for Mother Luo. Mother Luo¡¯s eyes were dazzled, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously. ¡°Aiyo, this must be very expensive. What¡¯s the point of spending so much money? Forget it.¡± She unintentionally found the price tag. The few pieces that Luo Feng had chosen all cost more than 10,000 yuan. Mother Luo widened her eyes and was so frightened that she couldn¡¯t close her mouth. ¡°Just try it on. It doesn¡¯t cost anything.¡± Luo Feng began to bluff. No woman could resist the temptation of the mink coat. She would be reluctant to take it off once she tried it on. Mother Luo did not know Luo Feng¡¯s tricks. She put it on half-heartedly. The soft and warm fur wrapped around her body was warmer than the winter sun. She stood in front of the mirror and spun around, striking all kinds of poses. She liked it but couldn¡¯t bear to part with her money. Her brows were knitted together. She wanted to laugh but didn¡¯t want to be seen laughing. ¡°Aiya, these clothes look okay. Why do I feel a little muscular?¡± Mother Luo looked at herself in the mirror. ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s too expensive¡­¡± Seeing this, Luo Feng hurriedly asked Father Luo to take action. After all, only he could praise Mother Luo. Father Luo gave a thumbs up, indicating that everything was on him. He walked behind Mother Luo and helped her tidy up her clothes. ¡°You look too good, wife! This dress is simply tailor-made for you!¡± ¡°What a glib tongue.¡± Mother Luo rolled her eyes at him, but she was in a good mood. Seeing that there was a chance, Father Luo immediately called out to Luo Feng, ¡°Don¡¯t you believe in your son¡¯s taste even if you don¡¯t believe mine? He must have chosen the one that suits you the most, right?!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Luo Feng chimed in. The father and son echoed each other, causing Mother Luo to burst with joy. Her heart wavered a little. ¡°Let¡¯s just just buy this. If I don¡¯t buy it, I¡¯ll be letting down this suitability.¡± Luo Feng took advantage of Mother Luo¡¯s confusion and hurriedly said to the salesperson beside him, ¡°That¡¯s it. Wrap it up.¡± Mother Luo looked at the price tag and felt a little reluctant. ¡°This is a little too expensive¡­¡± ¡°Mom, what are you saying?¡± Luo Feng took the clothes and handed them to the salesperson to pack. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me buying clothes for my biological mother? I even feel that I didn¡¯t buy enough things for you.¡± Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s words, Mother Luo was so touched that she was about to cry. His son had really grown up and knew how to dote on his parents. Looking at Luo Feng¡¯s back as he paid, his motherly love was quite overwhelming. When the three of them walked out of the shop, Mother Luo loved this dress so much that she couldn¡¯t bear to part with it. She touched the packaging again and again, and her heart ached for the money. ¡°Aiyo, how can I bear to wear such an expensive dress out?¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°If you can¡¯t bear to part with it, we¡¯ll buy two more and you¡¯ll have enough to wear between washes.¡± After saying that, he pretended to go back to the shop to buy two more. Mother Luo hurriedly pulled him back, afraid that he would spend money recklessly again. ¡°Did you get your money from nowhere? You¡¯re not allowed to spend it recklessly. Indeed, I still have to let Tingya take good care of you!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t care about me?¡± Luo Feng asked in surprise. ¡°Your wife will naturally take care of you when you are married. I still have to go square dancing so I don¡¯t have time!¡± Mother Luo held the bag and loved it so much that she couldn¡¯t bear to part with it. When they returned to the courtyard house, Luo Feng and Father Luo packed up the things they had bought today. Mother Luo sat in the courtyard leisurely. She hummed a tune as she took out her phone and placed it beside her ear happily. Luo Feng asked curiously, ¡°Who did Mom call?¡± Father Luo said, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s another uncle or aunt of yours.¡± ¡°Why is she calling them?¡± Father Luo sighed and laughed. ¡°Probably because she¡¯s happy. I can guarantee that all our relatives, including your mother¡¯s dancing sisters, will know that you bought her a mink before we go to bed tonight.¡± Indeed, in the next second, Mother Luo¡¯s loud and clear voice sounded. ¡°I told my son that it¡¯s too expensive. Don¡¯t spend money recklessly. He refused to listen and insisted on buying it for me!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t help it. He¡¯s too filial.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. After earning money, he became more and more disobedient. There¡¯s nothing I can do. My son has grown up and can¡¯t be controlled by his mother. Hahaha.¡± Luo Feng laughed in his heart. When it came to showing off, Mother Luo praised him openly and secretly, forming her own faction. ¡­ Luo Feng had not appeared in the shop for a few days, and Ai Tingya did not think of looking for him. This was because recently, not only did she have to revise and prepare for the exam, but she also had to deal with the matters in the shop. A piece of Staged Crash news had made Ai Tingya and Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop famous. At least in this city, everyone¡¯s first reaction when they talked about the milk tea shop was Good Me. When they talked about Good Me, their first reaction was that they had a beautiful lady boss. If this was in the future, Luo Feng would definitely arrange for Ai Tingya to bring goods online. In front of the small internet celebrity, he would do publicity when he had nothing to do and make the best use of it. The publicity was good even though the Internet was not that developed now. Taking advantage of this wave of news, the business of the milk tea shop doubled again. All the employees were recalled and worked hard to make milk tea in the shop every day. Xiao Fei and the others were so tired that they couldn¡¯t even straighten their backs every day. However, everyone was happy working hard with the corresponding reward. Except for Ai Tingya. Being famous was not a good thing for her now. There were many suitors and a few customers who came to express their goodwill every day, which gave her a headache. Even though she was very famous when she was in school and had many suitors, everyone retreated after knowing that she had a boyfriend again. After all, they were all students and were relatively thin-skinned. The same situation was different in society. Adults who relied on their own abilities seemed to abide by the rule of ¡°winner takes all¡±. Many rich second-generation heirs or successful bosses knew that Ai Tingya had a boyfriend, but they felt that their conditions were not bad and were especially confident. Their way of pursuit was also exceptionally diligent. Some of them were rejected by Ai Tingya five times in a row. The next day, they still appeared at the entrance of the milk tea shop on time. If Ai Tingya was not at the milk tea shop, that person would sit in the shop and wait until Ai Tingya appeared. ¡°Tingya, are you free tonight?¡± A man holding flowers blocked Ai Tingya¡¯s path. He was in his thirties and had a few wrinkles under his eyes when he smiled. The man¡¯s name was Kirker, and he was the most persistent of the many suitors who had appeared recently. Ai Tingya packed her books and was about to return to the dormitory when she was stopped by Kirker, who was holding flowers. She said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not free, my exams are near.¡± ¡°What about tomorrow? Or after your exams, I know a great garden restaurant that you¡¯ll like very much,¡± Kirker said with a smile, revealing his standard eight teeth. Ai Tingya treated him as a guest and couldn¡¯t say it too firmly, but her attitude was already very obvious. ¡°Mr. Kirker, I think I¡¯ve already made myself very clear. I don¡¯t want to go out for a meal with you. Also, can you not call me Tingya?¡± Ai Tingya felt that she had already been very direct. Why didn¡¯t the other party listen? Chapter 180 - 180 Pursuer? Did You See Our Bosss Luxury Car? 180 Pursuer? Did You See Our Boss¡¯s Luxury Car? Kirker was a rather confident person and was quite experienced in wooing girls. He could tell that Ai Tingya was shy, so he pestered her. Occasionally, he would give her some small gifts or flowers. Even though Ai Tingya rejected all of them, Kirker kept them in the shop. Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t just throw it away. She could only ask Xiao Fei to leave it untouched in the drawer, thinking that she would find an opportunity to return it in the future. However, in Kirker¡¯s eyes, this action was no different from a subordinate. He knew that the gift alone was not enough. In order to move a woman¡¯s heart, he had to show his outstanding side. Thus, he explained his situation quite clearly. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t want to hear a word. She only remembered what kind of company Kirker said he started. It seemed that Kirker¡¯s family background was quite good to begin with. He had also worked hard and started from scratch after leaving his family. He did very well. It was all Kirker¡¯s bragging, and Ai Tingya didn¡¯t want to listen at all. He was a customer who came to the store to spend money. Ai Tingya was too embarrassed to chase him away. However, every time Kirker used the same reason to strike up a conversation, Ai Tingya was helpless and didn¡¯t know what to do. Ai Tingya was very annoyed. What was even more annoying was that Kirker hadn¡¯t done anything overboard. Sometimes, if she said too much, Ai Tingya would even reflect on whether it was her fault. As a result, she couldn¡¯t calm down recently and couldn¡¯t concentrate on her studies. ¡°You don¡¯t want me to call you Tingya because you want me to give you a nickname, right?¡± Kirker curled his lips. ¡°I¡¯ll say it again, Mr. Kirker. I already have a boyfriend! I love him very much, and he loves me very much!¡± Ai Tingya said forcefully. Usually, she would never say such embarrassing words. However, Ai Tingya felt that it had to have a strong effect on her pursuer! Hearing Ai Tingya say that she had a boyfriend, Kirker paused for a moment and asked, ¡°I was once your age too. You¡¯re still too naive to think that love can last forever as a student, but I like it.¡± Ai Tingya could not help but roll her eyes. Kirker continued, ¡°Tingya, you¡¯re so good. Not every man is worthy of you.¡± His words made Ai Tingya feel very uncomfortable and even a little angry. ¡°Sir, my boyfriend is not just any man. It¡¯s really rude of you to define him like this!¡± Ai Tingya could tolerate the harassment, but she would never allow anyone to speak ill of Luo Feng! ¡°Hehe.¡± Kirker laughed. He could tell from Ai Tingya¡¯s words that she had deep feelings for her boyfriend. This made Kirker unhappy. He felt like a flower was stuck in cow dung. ¡°Tingya, you¡¯ve met too few people to have feelings for the boys in the same school. I believe that when you see a truly exciting world, you¡¯ll reconsider your relationship with your boyfriend!¡± Kirker was full of confidence. Ai Tingya tilted her head and ignored him. She wasn¡¯t interested in the ¡°exciting world¡± he was talking about. Kirker said as if he was coaxing a child, ¡°For example, the place I¡¯m taking you to today. There are many upper-class people in the business world gathered there. Getting to know them will be very beneficial to your milk tea shop. These are places that your boyfriend can¡¯t reach. Take a good look at it for yourself.¡± He rattled on and on, and Ai Tingya only found him noisy. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in the upper-class people you¡¯re talking about. My milk tea shop doesn¡¯t need to rely on getting to know people to develop. Please move aside!¡± Ai Tingya was already cursing and was about to spit on Kirker¡¯s face in the next second. Seeing that Ai Tingya was unmoved by his words and didn¡¯t know how to appreciate his kindness, Kirker couldn¡¯t help but feel a little angry. When has he ever lowered his stance when chasing a girl? ¡°You¡¯re even more naive than I thought,¡± Kirker said angrily. ¡°Ai Tingya, you have no idea what you¡¯ve given up!¡± He raised his voice, causing the other customers in the shop to look over curiously. This was the effect Kirker wanted. ¡°Think about it carefully. If you¡¯re with your current boyfriend, what can you get? A milk tea shop? If he works hard and opens a chain for you to work hard, what if he doesn¡¯t live up to your expectations and lets you suffer with him? When that time comes, feelings will be nothing.¡± ¡°Tingya, you clearly have a better path now. You can choose a rich and powerful boss who can easily buy you a luxury car. You don¡¯t have to come to the shop every day to look after yourself. You can plant flowers and shop or raise a dog. You can be a pampered rich lady who doesn¡¯t have to do anything other than spend money.¡± Kirker was impassioned, as if he was giving a mobilization speech. At this moment, a cold voice was like a basin of cold water that dampened his passion. Luo Feng stood behind Kirker and said respectfully to Ai Tingya, ¡°Boss, your new car is here.¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze turned over and saw a new ivory car behind Luo Feng. One look and one could tell that the unique design was not cheap. Kirker was stunned for a moment. What did this person just say¡­ A new car? He looked at the ivory Ferrari and suddenly took a deep breath. As a man who loved cars, Kirker liked to visit car exhibitions everywhere. He had seen the car in front of him at the exhibition! It had a shiny appearance that made him drool just by looking at it. However, he couldn¡¯t bear to part with the money in the end. After all, there were only a few roads in the bustling city. So what if it was a luxury car? It would still be stuck in a jam when there was a jam. Moreover, if it was knocked down, not only would they have to spend money to repair it, but most importantly, their hearts would ache. If Kirker had such a car, he would have carried it on the streets. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not worth it, so he did not buy it back. It was definitely not because he could not afford it. In the blink of an eye, he saw the car in front of him, and it was even parked in front of a milk tea shop. Kirker had a surreal feeling, as if he was having an absurd dream. He was silent for a moment. Swallowing his saliva, he said to Luo Feng, ¡°Is this car¡­ yours?¡± Luo Feng coughed lightly and said to Ai Tingya, ¡°Boss, your car is here.¡± Ai Tingya was also dumbfounded. When did she have a car? Moreover, Luo Feng called her boss, causing Ai Tingya to be in a daze for a long time. Luo Feng was addicted to acting and said respectfully, ¡°Your new luxury car has just arrived today. Do you need me to accompany you out for a test drive?¡± Actually, he had arrived long ago. Luo Feng did not feel angry hearing Kirker¡¯s bold words at the door for a long time. Putting aside the part that Kirker was targeting him, what he said was actually very realistic. If ordinary people wanted to become rich, they might have to work hard for the rest of their lives. Therefore, many people chose shortcuts like relying on rich people. In addition, Kirker was interested in Ai Tingya, so it was reasonable for him to treat Luo Feng as an enemy. Chapter 181 - 181 Very Good, Todays Boss And Lady Boss Are Also Very Loving 181 Very Good, Today¡¯s Boss And Lady Boss Are Also Very Loving Luo Feng could not count how many love rivals he had. Before this news became popular, there were already many people in the school staring at the two of them, hoping that he would break up with Ai Tingya every day. Luo Feng probably wouldn¡¯t have time to do anything else if he had to be angry every time he encountered one. Most importantly, Luo Feng was very confident in Ai Tingya. Luo Feng knew Ai Tingya the best in this world after all. Ai Tingya also knew Luo Feng the best. The two of them could doubt the entire world but they would not doubt each other¡¯s feelings. ¡°You¡¯re back,¡± Ai Tingya muttered. She was really about to be annoyed to death by her suitor who felt good about himself. This sentence was directed at Luo Feng, but the others thought that Ai Tingya was talking to the luxury car. The tears in their eyes were because they were too excited to see the luxury car. Luo Feng found it fun to see Ai Tingya¡¯s blank and calm expression. ¡°Selling milk tea¡­ makes so much money?¡± Kirker muttered to himself, doubting his life. Luo Feng glanced at him and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not very profitable.¡± Kirker looked up at him. ¡°What I mean is¡­¡± ¡°This car does not cost too much money to our boss,¡± Luo Feng said calmly. Kirker froze on the spot, even his breathing was trembling. So his so-called money was not in the same dimension as other people¡¯s money! He had wanted to be arrogant in front of Ai Tingya and find a beautiful student to date. His family¡¯s assets were indeed not bad in front of the people who opened the milk tea shop. Kirker was very confident in taking down Ai Tingya until this car appeared. He was doing well after all. However, it was still a little difficult to fork out money to buy a luxury car worth millions of yuan. The bragging he had with Ai Tingya just now had turned into ashes in front of the Ferrari. Kirker felt that he was a complete joke. ¡°This car¡­ doesn¡¯t look practical.¡± The corners of Kirker¡¯s mouth trembled slightly as he forced a disdainful smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t think there was a need to buy it.¡± Luo Feng nodded seriously and said, ¡°Our boss bought it to appreciate it at home. She would only drive it out when she¡¯s in a good mood. Why do you think rich people have a few luxury cars? Is it because they don¡¯t have enough to drive?¡± Luo Feng knew how to brag too. ¡°Heh¡­ Hehe¡­¡± Kirker felt that he was being suppressed, but he was the old hat. ¡°However, the greatest use now is probably to stop at the door to block those people who posture and brag. Don¡¯t you think so, Mr. Customer?¡± Luo Feng revealed a very friendly smile. Kirker blushed. Isn¡¯t that f*cking referring to him?! He gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but Luo Feng did not even look at him. There was only a dumbfounded Ai Tingya in his eyes. His blank expression was also very cute. Ai Tingya did not care where the car came from. She felt very at ease when she saw Luo Feng. She smiled at Luo Feng with a smile she would never smile at anyone else. Even a blind Kirker could smell the sour smell of their relationship. ¡°Who are you? I¡¯m talking to your boss. Why are you interrupting?¡± Kirker changed the topic and vented his anger on Luo Feng. Luo Feng glanced at him disdainfully, feeling that he was too pitiful. ¡°Me? I¡¯m the boss¡¯s personal secretary?¡± ¡°How dare you, a mere secretary, interrupt? How unruly!¡± ¡°Ahem, note that it¡¯s ¡®Personal¡¯! Secretary.¡± Luo Feng emphasized. When these very ordinary words came out of his mouth, they suddenly had an effect that made people blush and their hearts race. He was very proud and winked at Ai Tingya. How could he flirt with his boss in broad daylight?! Didn¡¯t Ai Tingya speak righteously just now? Why was she mute in front of her employees? Kirker looked at Luo Feng in shock, feeling that he was extremely shameless! ¡°What right do you have!¡± Kirker said indignantly. Luo Feng thought seriously. ¡°It should be because of¡­ my looks.¡± He touched his face and felt that this reason was very convincing. There were as many male students in school who liked Ai Tingya as there were female students who liked Luo Feng. In this era where looks were everything, Luo Feng¡¯s looks were quite popular. ¡°You!¡± Kirker looked at Luo Feng¡¯s face and actually felt that it made sense. It was better for men to admit that they had lost in looks than to admit that they were not as capable. Kirker felt that if he continued to stay here, his lungs would definitely explode from anger because of Luo Feng. He snorted and flicked his sleeves to quickly escape the milk tea shop that was causing him pain. Ai Tingya walked over and patted Luo Feng. ¡°Look at what you said. You scared him away. Also, what personal secretary? It¡¯s so embarrassing¡­¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to scare him away?¡± Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya affectionately. ¡°I¡¯m not a secretary, but it¡¯s true that I¡¯m ¡®personal¡¯, right?¡± ¡°Indecent!¡± Ai Tingya scolded jokingly. The speed of the car caught her off guard. Seeing that Luo Feng wanted to continue driving, Ai Tingya changed the topic and looked at the ivory luxury car. Many passersby would stop and take a few more glances. Because it was too beautiful. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this car?¡± Ai Tingya asked. She did not know anything about cars. For the first half of her life, she had never thought that she would one day be related to a luxury car. However, she still liked the Ferrari in front of her. Luo Feng led her to the car and placed her hand on the car. ¡°Didn¡¯t I just say that this is yours?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really mine?¡± Ai Tingya frowned slightly. ¡°Did you spend money recklessly again?¡± To her, Luo Feng was good in every way. The only thing that Ai Tingya could not stand was that he really liked to spend money on her. She had not seen him for a few days, but he had spent another huge sum! When Luo Feng saw Ai Tingya¡¯s expression, he knew that she was conflicted about money again. Even though Ai Tingya¡¯s throwing a tantrum was very cute, Luo Feng liked her sincere smile even more. ¡°This is your birthday gift! It¡¯s the first birthday I¡¯ve celebrated with you. I¡¯ve chosen it for a long time!¡± Luo Feng pouted and asked for praise. ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡± Ai Tingya did not want Luo Feng to be sad, but she was still very resistant to expensive gifts. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t like them, but¡­ I like everything you give me. There¡¯s no need to specially buy such an expensive gift¡­¡± She hugged Luo Feng and buried her head in his arms. She whispered, ¡°And I already have the best gift.¡± ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng did not hear clearly. Ai Tingya raised her small face and planted a gentle kiss on Luo Feng¡¯s lips. ¡°I already have you. You¡¯re the best gift from the heavens!¡± With that, she burrowed into Luo Feng¡¯s arms again. Ai Tingya still could not stand saying sweet nothings in public, but she could not wait a moment to convey this intention to Luo Feng. Originally, the customers in the shop thought that there would be no more fun to watch after Kirker left in anger. Unexpectedly, the boss and lady boss actually confessed their love in public. Very good, today was another day they were fed dog food. Chapter 182 - 182 Another Gift? What Should It Be? 182 Another Gift? What Should It Be? Ai Tingya¡¯s sincere confession did not change Luo Feng¡¯s mind. She had no choice but to accept this Ferrari. As Ai Tingya¡¯s time was tight, she did not have time to specially settle it down. She temporarily parked it at the entrance of the shop and waited to drive back to the new house after work. Fortunately, the road here was wide enough, so no one cared if a car was temporarily parked by the roadside. However, just because no one cared did not mean that no one was watching. Many of the people who came to the milk tea shop were Ai Tingya¡¯s classmates. Some of them took photos of the Ferrari and posted them on the school forum. THey named it ¡°The milk tea shop owner¡¯s true confession. He bought a luxury car just so that the beauty would smile!¡± Other than the photo of the luxury car, there was also a photo of the two of them hugging passionately. Everyone had to eat this dog food together! The forum instantly exploded. Some were touched by their love, while others rushed over to look at the luxury car. Even the students who were usually not interested in milk tea could not help but want to walk over and see the luxury car up close. ¡°One cup of fruit tea, less sugar and less ice.¡± Barbara barged into the milk tea shop and asked for a cup of her favorite. She rarely came to the shop personally. She had a roommate who was the lady boss after all. Most of the time, Ai Tingya brought her back to the dormitory. Barbara stared fixedly at the car at the door and said in surprise, ¡°Tingya, did Luo Feng really give you that car?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Ai Tingya was a little surprised. Did this news grow legs? Why did it spread so quickly? No wonder the business in the shop suddenly improved a lot! ¡°You don¡¯t know? It¡¯s all over the school!¡± Barbara took out her phone and opened the school forum. The post promoting Ai Tingya and Luo Feng¡¯s sweet love hung on the front page again. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s happening again¡­¡± Ai Tingya held her forehead, indicating that she did not want to be famous. The popularity of the news had yet to pass, and now there was the popularity of the luxury car. She really did not want to be famous anymore. She only wanted to study hard and do well in the end-of-term examination. ¡°Can I touch it?¡± Barbara asked. ¡°Sure, why not¡­¡± Ai Tingya sighed. Barbara¡¯s eyes lit up, and her hands were tempted. She saw the people surrounding the luxury car, maintaining a 100-meter distance tacitly. She pulled Ai Tingya and said, ¡°It¡¯s better if you accompany me to touch it. I can¡¯t afford it if I scratched it.¡± ¡°Sigh, you don¡¯t have to¡­¡± Ai Tingya wanted to say that she didn¡¯t have to be so careful, but she was still pulled by Barbara to the side of the luxury car. The other students who wanted to touch it but didn¡¯t dare to, cast envious gazes. When they saw Barbara sitting on the hood and posing very flashily, they smiled and said, ¡°Tingya, take a photo for me. I want to tweet.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ai Tingya picked up Barbara¡¯s phone and pressed the shutter weakly. In the future, there was a way to rent luxury cars, which was to lend them to others to take photos. Many people were willing to pay for one in order to post on their Moments. If Ai Tingya wanted to do this business, she would definitely be able to earn a lot of extra pocket money today. ¡°Done!¡± Barbara flipped through the photos on her phone and was very satisfied. She held Ai Tingya¡¯s arm and walked back to the shop. She picked up the fruit tea and drank it. She held her phone in one hand and fruit tea in the other as she giggled at the screen. ¡°Are you that happy?¡± Ai Tingya asked curiously, not understanding what Barbara was laughing about. Barbara could not help but sigh when she saw how calm she was even after receiving a luxury car as a gift. Ai Tingya was indeed someone who did great things. She did not take joy in things or sorrow for herself. It was as if nothing other than Luo Feng could shake her emotions. ¡°You don¡¯t understand.¡± Barbara shook her head. ¡°If only I could drive to school. I really want those people in our class to take a look.¡± Ai Tingya was not very popular in class. She only knew Xie Yan and her roommates. Women were afraid because she was beautiful and boys felt that she was cold. In addition, Ai Tingya was very popular on the school forum, so it was inevitable that others would gossip. She didn¡¯t care much and pretended that she didn¡¯t exist. Every time Barbara heard it, she was furious. They wished they could get Luo Feng to drive them to the dormitory building now and let the parrots who were gossiping take a good look at Ai Tingya¡¯s strength! ¡°It¡¯s better to avoid trouble.¡± Ai Tingya was as calm as a chrysanthemum. Actually, after meeting Luo Feng, her personality was much more cheerful than before. Those who knew Ai Tingya a little, such as Luo Feng or Xiao Fei, knew that with Ai Tingya¡¯s personality, she would not easily care about unnecessary people or things. Even Ai Zhaojiang only accepted him after interacting with him for a long time. It was very difficult to enter Ai Tingya¡¯s heart, but once she did, Ai Tingya would pour her heart out to that person. Ai Tingya did not care about anything else. The rumors in class did not affect her at all. Ai Tingya was only worried about her military service at the end of the semester. Barbara changed the topic seeing her worried expression. ¡°Speaking of which, Tingya, what did you give Luo Feng during his birthday previously?¡± Some time ago, in order to confirm Luo Feng¡¯s orientation, Barbara had even come up with a bad idea. Later, when Ai Tingya returned, she did not tell her the details of that day. She only said that she had resolved the misunderstanding with Luo Feng. Barbara saw that Ai Tingya¡¯s face was filled with happiness, so she didn¡¯t ask further. She was a little curious now that she thought about it. ¡°I¡­ gave him a set of clothes,¡± Ai Tingya said embarrassedly. She was not short of money now. There were millions lying in her card for her to squander. However, the largest capital consumption that Ai Tingya had personally come into contact with was probably for the orphanage to repair. Ai Tingya did not have a strong desire to spend money because of her background. Even buying gifts for others was standard. After all, in Ai Tingya¡¯s memory, the children of the orphanage only had new clothes to wear on New Year¡¯s or birthdays. Buying cars and houses for others had never appeared in her mind all these years. In this aspect, she and Luo Feng were from two completely different worlds. Even though she was rich now, Ai Tingya only felt more at ease but her life had not changed much. She ate in the cheap and affordable school canteen and bought clothes online. She loved to snatch all kinds of coupons. Her entire outfit only cost two to three hundred yuan. Fortunately, she was good-looking and looked good in everything. There was no need to match them. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too shabby?¡± Ai Tingya looked at the luxury car at the door and felt that the comparison was too great. Barbara comforted him. ¡°No, the most important thing to give a gift is the thought. Didn¡¯t you carefully choose your clothes for a long time? Luo Feng also said that he likes them very much.¡± The clothes Ai Tingya gave him were custom-made suits worth more than 30,000 yuan. Luo Feng liked them very much and expressed that he wanted to keep them for his wedding. ¡°But I still feel uneasy.¡± Ai Tingya did not frown slightly. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t be like this¡­¡± Barbara felt that she shouldn¡¯t mention this matter. On second thought, she smiled and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you give Luo Feng another one!¡± ¡°What should I give him?¡± Ai Tingya had no experience in this aspect. ¡°Give Luo Feng whatever he likes.¡± Chapter 183 - 183 Xie Yans Father Is Coming! 183 Xie Yan¡¯s Father Is Coming! What does Luo Feng like? Ai Tingya thought carefully for a moment, and her face flushed to her ears. Wasn¡¯t Luo Feng¡¯s favorite¡­ her? Barbara¡¯s suggestion gave Ai Tingya a good idea! At this moment, Luo Feng did not know that someone had unintentionally helped him and Ai Tingya¡¯s relationship progress. ¡°Achoo!¡± Luo Feng stood below Gather Sift Takeaway and rubbed his nose. He muttered to himself, ¡°Who¡¯s badmouthing me again? Tingya?¡± Ai Tingya must be complaining that luxury cars were too expensive again. Luo Feng shivered and jogged upstairs, rushing into the warm office. Originally, he wanted to drive the Ferrari and bring Ai Tingya out for a spin or two to relax. In Ai Tingya¡¯s state, he could tell at a glance that she had been under too much pressure recently and needed to rest. If not for Xie Yan calling to say that he had something on, Luo Feng would have been holding the steering wheel and not a disposable paper cup. It had been a while since he last came to the takeaway company. Firstly, when he bought it, Luo Feng promised to give Xie Yan a lot of autonomy. He would not interfere too much and let them run the company like before. Secondly, his current persona was that of a stupid and rich investor. Other than giving him money, he knew nothing else. This was to avoid being relied on in the future if he was too capable. As the funds he gave were too sufficient, Xie Yan almost did not take the initiative to call Luo Feng to the company. For the first time, Luo Feng felt that he definitely had something important to discuss. He had no choice but to leave the tired Ai Tingya and come to the company to discuss something. He poured himself a glass of hot water and walked to Xie Yan¡¯s side. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Xie Yan stared at the computer and was typing codes. He did not realize that Luo Feng was already standing beside him. Seeing that he was too engrossed in ignoring him, Luo Feng drank the water in the cup and threw the empty paper cup on the keyboard. ¡°Hey!¡± Xie Yan was so frightened that he hurriedly picked up his precious keyboard and slapped it again and again. ¡°What are you doing! Don¡¯t you know that there can¡¯t be water in the computer room?!¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Luo Feng joked, ¡°It¡¯s empty.¡± Xie Yan was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He glared at Luo Feng and said angrily, ¡°When did you arrive?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been standing there for a long time.¡± Luo Feng took away the empty paper cup and said, ¡°What are you playing? You¡¯re so serious that you didn¡¯t hear me.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this developing the app?¡± Xie Yan pointed at the code weakly. In order to allow the takeaway to take another step forward, he had not slept well for a few days. Luo Feng blinked and felt that choosing to invest in Xie Yan back then was the right choice. In the future, it would indeed be the era of smartphones. In particular, there have been new movements on Apple phones in the past two years. The APP store had been released for a year, and the Android phones in the country were gradually exerting strength. The phones would quickly infiltrate all aspects of life. Xie Yan was very smart and had good taste. After takeaway became official, most of the company¡¯s experiences were spent on app development. Luo Feng also understood why Xie Yan was so engrossed. ¡°Speaking of which, why are you looking for me?¡± Luo Feng asked. Xie Yan was still checking the keyboard. When he heard this, he slowly put it down and said embarrassedly, ¡°My dad¡­ My dad said he wants to see you.¡± ¡°?¡± Luo Feng blinked and stared at Xie Yan¡¯s hair for a long time without saying anything. Xie Yan¡¯s head became lower and lower until it reached his chest. Luo Feng paused and said in a complicated tone, ¡°Does your family¡­ have to see their parents as colleagues too?¡± He did not know why Xie Yan¡¯s father was looking for him and even specially asked Xie Yan to sue him. Could it be that rich people were so particular? Or was this a local custom? But Yang Bo was also a local and had never heard him mention it¡­ ¡°No! He¡­ He wants to see our company.¡± Xie Yan was helpless and shy. It was as if a primary school student wanted to read an essay in front of his parents. ¡°So be it.¡± Luo Feng turned around and wanted to leave. It was such a small matter. ¡°Don¡¯t leave yet!¡± Xie Yan stopped him. ¡°My dad¡­ My dad is actually a little angry at me for making takeaways¡­ He was thinking about selling the company here.¡± Xie Yan was probably the kind of person who would go home and inherit the company if he did not make it big outside. His father had the same plan for him. After studying finance, Xie Yan would return to his company to work. As for Xie Yan¡¯s own company, his father had wanted to buy it quickly and leave it under his company as a mascot. It was similar to spending money to buy building blocks for his son. Hearing this, Luo Feng sensed Xie Yan¡¯s father¡¯s killing intent from just a few words. This was clearly to poach him! He was really too good at choosing people. There was no need to say anything about poaching girlfriends, but there were also people who came to poach employees! No! Absolutely not! Xie Yan still had a major Quest to help him spend money. He could not leave just like that! Luo Feng¡¯s expression turned serious. ¡°Why did your father come to the company?¡± Xie Yan shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know either¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Luo Feng patted Xie Yan¡¯s shoulder. He definitely had to protect his spending machine. ¡°Then let¡¯s prepare well and let your father feel at ease!¡± ¡­ To be honest, Father Xie would never be at ease. Xie Yan¡¯s grandfather was just a farmer who farmed. Other than a house full of farming tools, he had left behind his trump card seeds. It could be said that he had no help in doing business. Father Xie was truly starting from scratch. No one understood his firm belief in starting a business better than him. He worked so hard because he hoped that his descendant, his only son, would thank him and not have to suffer the hardships he had once suffered. As long as he studied obediently and graduated obediently. If he followed his established life, it would definitely be smooth-sailing and safe. He did not expect Xie Yan to walk down his old path¡ªentrepreneurship! Father Xie was naturally happy that his son was motivated. However, Xie Yan chose an emerging industry¡ªthe Internet. This was outside Father Xie¡¯s ability and was not similar to what their company ran. Father Xie could not help, so he could only fork out the money. However, what he hoped for the most was for Xie Yan to obediently come back and inherit the company. Therefore, he expressed that he could fork out the money to help buy it. He had thought that Xie Yan would retreat in the face of difficulties. After all, Father knew his son best. Father Xie knew Xie Yan¡¯s shortcomings very well. He was affirmative and would be able to let Xie Yan be a manager. Xie Yan could only focus a little when it came to starting a business. If he took care of many things, he would not be able to take care of anything. Father Xie was right. In less than half a year, there was a problem with Xie Yan¡¯s company. When he could not hold on anymore, Father Xie was waiting for his son to come and buy the company from him. Then, he raised conditions to make his son obediently listen to him and return to the right path. Originally, everything was going according to plan. Father Xie waited at home for a few days, waiting for Xie Yan to speak. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng interfered and saved Xie Yan, completely disrupting Father Xie¡¯s plans! Chapter 184 - 184 Dictatorial Father, Xie Yan Must Be Obedient! 184 Dictatorial Father, Xie Yan Must Be Obedient! Father Xie knew very well what his silly son was like. Now, not only did he not go home dejectedly as he had planned, but his entrepreneurship was also doing well. It had even been on the news a while ago. Father Xie felt that he was in danger. If he didn¡¯t interfere, Xie Yan would never turn back from the Internet industry! How can I let him do whatever he wants! Father Xie had worked hard for half his life. He could not lose his successor because of this reason. He came to the company today to see what ability Luo Feng, who had convinced Xie Yan, had! Father Xie pushed open the door of the gathering company with resentment towards Luo Feng. At first glance, it was quite shabby. There were two half-used water dispensers beside him. It was obvious that they were second-hand goods. There was also an electric refrigerator with drinks and boxed lunches. There were unfinished takeaway boxes on the table. The green radishes were withered, and no one cleaned up the water that had turned green. The ground was covered in wires, but the computers were very clean and new. The current office of the gathering company was still the same as before. At that time, in order to save money, Xie Yan had basically bought the company¡¯s equipment second-hand, including a few computers. Some of them were prepared by his entrepreneurial partners, while others bought accessories from his seniors and assembled them themselves. After Luo Feng arrived, he invested a lot of money. Xie Yan only upgraded the computer. After all, the computer was the main working tool. After becoming the head of the company, Xie Yan knew how expensive firewood, oil, and salt were, so he made do with whatever he could use in the office. He thought that he would change to new offices and facilities when he earned more in the future. It was also because the things were old that the employees did not have any psychological burden when using them and did not have to be carefully protected. Coupled with the Staged Crash incident previously and the recent development of the app, they had not had time to clean up. Father Xie arrived at the wrong time and happened to see the messiest scene in the office. Moreover, he had been standing at the door for a long time, but no one came out to take a look. This group of entrepreneurial children did not have any vigilance at all. If someone came in and moved the computer, they would not notice at all! Thinking of this, Father Xie Grit firmly rejected Xie Yan¡¯s unreliable idea of starting a business. Then, he pushed open the conference room door angrily. At this moment, Luo Feng was in a meeting with the higher-ups of the company to study making an app. They were going to change from the web page to an app after all. It could be said to be a huge advancement and a major strategic adjustment. Luo Feng originally did not want to participate, but he felt that since he was here, he could exchange opinions and agree with everyone. As he was talking, a man suddenly barged into the meeting room. He looked angry and glanced at everyone in the meeting room indiscriminately. He came aggressively, as if he was here to cause trouble. Luo Feng saw that the man¡¯s figure was strong. Even his suit could not hide his wild aura, revealing his vigorous vitality. However, the wrinkles on his face and the sparse hair on his head were proof that he had been tortured by life. His majestic figure carried a natural deterrence. Coupled with his unfriendly gaze, everyone in the conference room was stunned on the spot. A girl from the company was sitting at the door, closest to the man. She was so frightened that she almost cried. ¡°I¡­ Let¡¯s call the police, okay?¡± Luo Feng had also met with trouble when he opened his company in his previous life. He was the calmest when others were panicking. He also sensed that the man had ill intentions. However, they only opened a small company. Who could they offend? ¡°Sir, who are you looking for?¡± Luo Feng was not to be outdone. He took out his aura and definitely could not let the man think that they were easy to bully! ¡°Um¡­¡± Xie Yan slowly stood up and whispered, ¡°Boss¡­ He¡­ He¡¯s my father.¡± If he didn¡¯t come out and explain, the two sides might start fighting. Luo Feng was stunned. He looked at Xie Yan and then at Xie Yan¡¯s father and felt that his understanding was a little confused. Xie Yan did not inherit his father¡¯s style at all. He was thin and tall, and his usual clothes were relatively stiff. Coupled with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he was a classic man in science and engineering. On the other hand, other than the sparse top of his head, Xie Yan¡¯s father was like a man riding a horse on the grassland. His aura was quite scary. The two of them were not the same when they stood together. While everyone was observing Father Xie, he also found his son. ¡°Little brat, come back with me!¡± Father Xie bellowed. He reached out to pull Xie Yan¡¯s ears, so domineering that no one dared to refuse. Xie Yan panicked and stood on the spot, not daring to dodge. The eyes behind his glasses looked at Luo Feng and were asking him for help. Luo Feng suddenly understood why Xie Yan did not want to inherit the family business. With such a powerful father, even if he abdicated, he would still be a powerful emperor. Xie Yan could only be ordered around even if he became the boss. If he had such a father, he did not want to go home either. Seeing that Xie Yan was trembling on the spot and did not dare to move in the face of Father Xie¡¯s iron palm, Luo Feng hurriedly stood up and stopped him. ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s rare for you to come. Let¡¯s sit down and talk slowly.¡± Xie Yan was Luo Feng¡¯s most important spender. He had to guard it well! ¡°Who are you?¡± Father Xie¡¯s tone was not polite at all. ¡°My name is Luo Feng. I¡¯m Xie Yan¡¯s partner.¡± Luo Feng was unmoved and chatted at his own pace. ¡°You¡¯re Luo Feng?!¡± Father Xie was even angrier. He knew that Luo Feng¡¯s fiddling had turned his son into a wild horse. He was so unrestrained that he did not want to go home and even dared to talk back to him! Father Xie¡¯s many years of experience told him that Luo Feng was very scheming just by looking at his immovable smile! However, Father Xie was an elder after all. He could not be calculative with the young people of his son¡¯s generation. He was the boss of the company, and Luo Feng would become his employee. He had to leave some face for him. Father Xie gave Luo Feng face and did not embarrass Xie Yan in front of everyone. Luo Feng gave the other boy a look. The boy immediately brought over a chair and a cup of tea. Father Xie did not refuse and sat down. Only then did the atmosphere in the meeting room relax a little. Xie Yan also changed his position. He did not dare to sit beside Father Xie, so he chose to sit opposite him, beside Luo Feng. Luo Feng sat in the main seat and was sandwiched between the father and son. He did not feel awkward. He smiled and gave the initiative to Father Xie, waiting for him to speak first. ¡°Come back with me!¡± Father Xie held his teacup and said in a low voice, indicating his intentions. Xie Yan lowered his head, not daring to speak, nor did he want to be obedient. He used silence to resist his father¡¯s tyranny. Father Xie¡¯s face was ashen. Seeing that the situation was bad, Luo Feng said, ¡°Uncle, logically speaking, this is your family matter. An outsider like me shouldn¡¯t interfere, but Xie Yan has his own choice.¡± Father Xie had long been unhappy with Luo Feng. It was fine if he did not speak, but once he did, Father Xie became angry. He slapped the table and said angrily, ¡°His own choice? I¡¯m his father. The choice I gave him is the best!¡± Chapter 185 - 185 I Believe In Xie Yans Ability! What About You, Uncle? 185 I Believe In Xie Yan¡¯s Ability! What About You, Uncle? Father Xie was tall and had a loud voice. The small meeting room even echoed. Xie Yan was so afraid that he didn¡¯t dare to speak and curled up like a little chick. Luo Feng¡¯s ears were also buzzing. He roared in a low voice, ¡°Shut up!¡± Father Xie¡¯s eyes widened hearing this. It had been many years since anyone dared to talk to him like this! Even when he was young and poor, no one dared to have such an attitude. Not to mention now that he was old and rich. No one dared to talk back to him. He did not expect to be shouted at by a brat. Father Xie was a little shocked. ¡°You¡­¡± Luo Feng did not give him a chance to speak. ¡°Xie Yan is already an adult. Can¡¯t he even decide what he wants to do?¡± ¡°He¡¯s my son!¡± Father Xie argued. ¡°Besides, the family is such a big company. If he doesn¡¯t inherit it, who will?¡± The others looked at Xie Yan with complicated expressions. In the past, they were still very envious of Xie Yan. They felt that even if he failed to start a business, he still had a way out. He could go home and inherit the company. He would still be above everyone else. His starting point was the end of many children from normal families. But now, it seemed that his family business had become a rope that tied Xie Yan up. He had no autonomy at all. They actually felt that Xie Yan was a little pitiful. ¡°Then ask Xie Yan if he wants to go back.¡± Luo Feng pointed at Xie Yan, wanting him to express his thoughts with his own mouth. Although Xie Yan was so scared that he curled up into a ball, he knew that today was his last chance. If he didn¡¯t fight for it, he would really have no freedom and ideals! He shook his head violently. Father Xie had long known what his son was thinking. In the past, he didn¡¯t agree but he had respect for him, but now, he doesn¡¯t even want to give him any respect. ¡°What do you know, kid? Go home and start a real business. You can earn tens of millions a year. Do you think it¡¯s unfair to you?¡± Speaking of his family¡¯s company, Father Xie was a little proud. He had risked his life to build the empire for his son after all. He did not want to suffer the hardship of starting a business again. He had prepared everything, but who knew that his silly son would not want it? He had plunged into the pit of entrepreneurship again! It was said that they were not afraid of rich second-generation heirs being prodigal, but they were afraid that rich second-generation heirs would have ideas. ¡°Tens of millions?¡± Luo Feng was disdainful. He smiled and said, ¡°Uncle, tens of millions is not comparable to Xie Yan¡¯s dream. I don¡¯t fancy that bit of money, let alone him!¡± ¡°Boss, it¡¯s right that you don¡¯t like it. Your investment alone is more than ten million yuan after all.¡± The others thought to themselves. ¡°What did you say?¡± Father Xie did not expect Luo Feng to be so arrogant. Luo Feng smiled and did not answer. He said to Xie Yan, ¡°Xie Yan, speak for yourself.¡± He kept sending messages to Xie Yan, hoping that Xie Yan would be brave enough to express his wishes. If he did not rely on his own strength to cross the mountain of his father, he would not be able to cross the other obstacles in the future. Xie Yan glanced at Luo Feng. Due to his father¡¯s dignity and past habits, he could not help but tremble. However, seeing that Luo Feng trusted him so much, Xie Yan mustered his courage. ¡°I¡­ I want to make¡­ I want to make takeaways!¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Father Xie snorted. ¡°What can takeaway do?¡± ¡°No¡­ No!¡± Xie Yan pinched himself and said with a red face, ¡°I¡­ We¡¯ve calculated it. The food delivery industry¡­ It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s a market worth hundreds of billions!¡± ¡°100 billion yuan.¡± Father Xie was skeptical. It was obvious that he did not trust the judgment of the children. Xie Yan felt that this was his confidence. He raised his head and looked into his father¡¯s eyes. ¡°The scale of our food and beverage industry has already exceeded one trillion yuan this year, and it¡¯s still rising! The takeaway industry can be considered a part of the food and beverage industry. As long as we occupy 10% of the market share, there¡¯s a possibility of making more than 100 billion yuan!¡± Luo Feng found it a little familiar. Wasn¡¯t this what he usually said to buff him up? So he really kept it in his heart. Xie Yan was not a fool. He had privately estimated what Luo Feng had said. It was indeed very promising even though the answer he came up with was more conservative than what Luo Feng had said. Luo Feng did not mean to lie to him but he could not say that he had been reborn and had seen the future development of the food delivery industry, right? Actually, the general direction that Luo Feng was pointing in was not wrong. It was just that he had given Xie Yan some small numbers. That¡¯s right, the market value of the food delivery industry was far higher than Luo Feng had said. At the current rate of economic development, in less than five years, the scale of the food business would break through to four trillion yuan, and the scale of the takeaway market would exceed five hundred billion yuan! In fact, this was not the end! In short, Luo Feng and the others had just entered the game. It was not a problem to nurture an Internet giant. Father Xie looked at Xie Yan¡¯s face, which had turned red from nervousness. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. This was the first time he had this feeling after raising his son for almost twenty years. He didn¡¯t like it when Xie Yan talked back to him. In the past, because of his entrepreneurial business, Xie Yan lacked the love and care of his parents. He had a weak personality and returned to his parents¡¯ side after he became sensible. Father Xie was very generous to him in terms of money, and he was indeed stricter in discipline. This also caused Xie Yan to be like a mouse that saw a cat when he met Father Xie. He didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily. This was the first time Xie Yan had contradicted his father. Father Xie actually felt a little gratified. However, it was only for a moment. The smile on his face had already sunk before it could be revealed. Father Xie¡¯s face was ashen. ¡°You make it sound better than singing. Do you really understand the market? It¡¯s not something you can grasp just by reading two articles!¡± Luo Feng chuckled and said, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re in the real economy. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve investigated the scale of the food and beverage market. You can point out where Xie Yan was wrong.¡± Father Xie was stunned for a moment and did not answer Luo Feng. Food was the priority of the people. It could be said that the food and beverage industry was an indicator of economic development. Even though Father Xie did not make food directly, he still had to understand it. At least in terms of estimating market share, Xie Yan was right. But so what! Father Xie sneered. ¡°Even if the food delivery industry has potential, can you do it, Xie Yan?¡± Xie Yan trembled hearing his father¡¯s ridicule. He lowered his head again. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, could he really do it? Or was he delusional? Luo Feng sat in the middle and felt anxious. Father Xie really knew how to manipulate Xie Yan. If he couldn¡¯t refute the truth, he would start denying the future. But who dared to say anything about the unknown? Xie Yan didn¡¯t dare, and Father Xie couldn¡¯t either! ¡°Perhaps in your heart, Xie Yan can¡¯t do it. But in my heart, Xie Yan can change the existence of the food and beverage industry!¡± Luo Feng suddenly said. He patted Xie Yan¡¯s shoulder. Just like when he chose Xie Yan, he was filled with anticipation for him. Moreover, he was even more determined than before! Xie Yan looked up in disbelief. His dim eyes suddenly lit up upon receiving Luo Feng¡¯s trust. It turned out that Luo Feng trusted him more than anyone else! Chapter 186 - 186 Give Up Your Shares And Lets Partner! 186 Give Up Your Shares And Let¡¯s Partner! ¡°Uncle, even an outsider like me believes in Xie Yan. Why shouldn¡¯t you believe in your son as his father?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s words were not fake at all. Xie Yan¡¯s throat tightened, and he had the urge to cry. Actually, what he had always wanted was to obtain the approval of others. Whether it was studying hard or persevering in starting a business, he hoped that others would acknowledge his ability. He did not want to think about his rich family background and powerful parents when he was mentioned. Xie Yan had never said it but he really hated how others would say that he could go home comfortably to inherit the company and reach the peak of his life. However, at the end of the day, the person who he wanted acknowledgement from the most was his father. In the past, he had only thought that Luo Feng was a bold investor. Now that he looked at it again, he suddenly felt gratified that a gentleman would die for a close friend. Even if his resistance failed this time, Xie Yan felt great comfort to be able to know Luo Feng! Father Xie looked at Luo Feng and then at Xie Yan. He was so shocked that he did not know what to say. Xie Yan turned his face to the side and said coldly, ¡°I won¡¯t go back with you. I won¡¯t go even if I die!¡± He moved a little in Luo Feng¡¯s direction as if to find some courage. The closer he got, the more confident he seemed. When Luo Feng saw this, the impassioned atmosphere completely shattered. Why was resisting his father¡¯s dictatorship like eloping? Was there a need to be so close? ¡°You make it sound so nice¡­¡± Father Xie snorted. He did not become the boss by talking. Similarly, Luo Feng¡¯s words could move Xie Yan, but not him. Xie Yan was still working for Luo Feng after all. Father Xie was a boss himself. He judged others by himself. He did not believe that Luo Feng, the boss, would have good intentions. It was all because his son was innocent and knew the Internet and wanted to use Xie Yan to earn money! He could clearly see that only his silly son was rushing into someone else¡¯s trap. No matter how well Xie Yan said it, Father Xie didn¡¯t believe him at all. ¡°Uncle, do you know how far our company¡¯s delivery platform has developed?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°Oh?¡± This piqued Father Xie¡¯s interest. ¡°Our take-out website has been online for two months and has already covered the main areas of the city. We have more than 3,000 take-out personnel! The website¡¯s revenue has even exceeded 30 million yuan!¡± Father Xie was slightly surprised. To be honest, this was not a lot of money, but it was a very good result for a company that had been online for two months! Gather Sift Takeaway was developing very quickly. The first step was to share the customers that they already had with Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop. Just this step alone was incomparable to many takeaway software. In addition, there was a university town nearby. After the delivery was launched, the students quickly became customers. Hao Yingqiang¡¯s rescue incident had even helped to encourage Gather Sift Takeaway to become famous. The flow of water instantly exploded, rising from 20 million to 30 million yuan! Luo Feng never denied the fact that the takeaway was still losing money. That was because the revenue was very low, which greatly increased the need for working capital. Gather Sift Takeaway was now in the public welfare stage. It seemed to have been launched to provide more jobs. However, this was a process that had to be experienced during the market cultivation stage! Xie Yan had already succeeded! Father Xie was a little confused. ¡°Why are you suddenly telling me this?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯ve seen the initial success of Gather Sift Takeaway. What I mean is that if you want Xie Yan to have his own business, I can sell my shares to you and let Xie Yan control the actual shares. Not only can I resolve your concerns, but Xie Yan can also continue his dream.¡± ¡°You¡¯re quitting?¡± Father Xie asked suspiciously. ¡°I¡¯m still just an investor,¡± Luo Feng said calmly. ¡°There¡¯s no difference.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Father Xie¡¯s eyes flickered. Why was Luo Feng different from the bosses he knew? How could he be willing to sell his shares in such a good business? This was no different from giving up the fat meat at the corner of his mouth! How could Father Xie know about Luo Feng¡¯s worry about holding the shares? He was so worried that his wrinkles were about to appear. The investor and the boss were two different identities, so the returns they received were also different. Previously, in order to develop the gathering company, Luo Feng had bought shares from Xie Yan. Now, he already had 70% of the shares. He had given the company a lot of investment, but the return was only twice as much. He might as well buy a car for Ai Tingya. Luo Feng was now hoping that Xie Yan¡¯s father could buy the shares from him. This way, he would be able to obtain more profits. After all, it was not time for takeout to really burn money. At that time, if Luo Feng needed it, he would buy back the shares and be a shareholder. In this way, Xie Yan would get the shares. When he earned money, his return would double. He only hoped that Father Xie would be generous and smash him to death with money on account of Xie Yan¡¯s hard work! Luo Feng looked up and saw Father Xie¡¯s expression from the corner of his eye. He¡¯s taken the bait! Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xie Yan suddenly stood up and said, ¡°No! I refuse! Luo Feng, you¡¯re the true boss of this company. The controlling rights will always belong to Luo Feng!¡± Xie Yan was really touched by Luo Feng¡¯s words. Xie Yan was willing to work under someone who admitted that he understood him for the rest of his life! He would unknowingly dig out his heart and let Luo Feng see what it meant to be a down-to-earth worker¡­ No, he was loyal! Luo Feng was numb. He really wanted Xie Yan to vomit out the chicken soup he had drunk. Wake up! You should be on your father¡¯s side now! Luo Feng was very happy that Xie Yan was so loyal, but there was no need¡­ really no need¡­ Luo Feng felt that his charm was too high. It really delayed him farming money! Everyone was surprised by Xie Yan¡¯s reaction, but Father Xie was the most affected. He did not expect his usually cowardly son to actually dare to shout at him for someone else. It was as if as long as he nodded, this lousy son would really rebel on the spot! Father Xie had mixed feelings. He was a little happy but also a little angry. It was as if the piglet he had raised for more than 20 years had been taken away by someone else¡­ No, he had taken the initiative to leave with someone else, and he was especially happy. Of course, he was happy that his son had grown up. It was rare that he was not angry, or rather, he did not have the energy to be angry. This was because Father Xie was even more interested in Luo Feng¡¯s words now. It also caused quite a stir in his heart. Father Xie pondered for a moment and said, ¡°This should cost a lot of money, right?¡± Even though he did not know much about the Internet, he had heard about news related to the takeaway. The memory was still fresh. The salary for the delivery men was very high and the guarantee was very good. Logically speaking, these could be omitted. If they were all prepared, it would definitely cost a lot of money. Luo Feng and the others would definitely still be at a loss. Chapter 187 - 187 Calling Each Other Brothers, Luo Fengs Seniority 187 Calling Each Other Brothers, Luo Feng¡¯s Seniority ¡°It must be very expensive to do this, right?¡± Father Xie asked. Luo Feng did not hide anything. ¡°It can only be considered not earning money now. The time to burn money is still ahead.¡± They were all smart people. There was no need to lie. Father Xie pinched his chin and thought for a moment. He frowned and said, ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll invest in you.¡± ¡°No!¡± Xie Yan was the first to object! Father Xie glared at him, expecting better. He had just gone against his father in public, and Father Xie had yet to settle scores with him. Now, he came out to object. He had really grown up. He ignored Xie Yan and said to Luo Feng, ¡°I¡¯m very interested in your suggestion. How about this? I don¡¯t want more shares. I remember that your earliest shareholdings were 51%. Just give me the rest.¡± Luo Feng understood that Father Xie wanted to help them. He was worried that the company did not have money and wanted to send some over. The reason why he only bought 10% of the shares meant that he did not covet Luo Feng¡¯s controlling rights. Perhaps he was afraid that Xie Yan would disagree. At the end of the day, there was no such thing as overnight enmity between father and son. After going around in circles, as a father, he still could not let go of his son. Fatherly love was wordless. Perhaps this was what Father Xie was talking about. Luo Feng, who was a bystander, was a little touched. Now it was his turn to frown. Why didn¡¯t Father Xie want more shares since he wanted it anyway? Luo Feng was a little depressed. It¡¯s your son¡¯s company anyway. You don¡¯t have to be so polite¡­ Luo Feng still could not farm much money for the remaining 51% of the shares. Actually, the matter of shares was very simple. The company was not big and was not listed currently. As long as Luo Feng agreed to the share transaction, it would be fine. The problem was the company¡¯s valuation¡­ Previously, when Luo Feng took out 20 million yuan, his shares increased from 51% to 70%. At that time, his valuation was about 100 million yuan. To be honest, it was not a small number. After nearly two months of development, Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s flow and user size were no longer comparable to back then. Even though they were still in the losing stage, anyone who had a little contact with internet companies knew that they basically did not look at profits. The group of people lowered their heads and calculated for a long time before they finally understood the current valuation. 300 million yuan! They might currently cover only one city but the city they started was at the forefront of national development. Moreover, it was almost a monopoly in this city. It was not a big problem to support a valuation of 300 million yuan. According to the current valuation, Father Xie needed about 67 million yuan to buy 20% of the shares from Luo Feng. ¡°80,000,000!¡± Father Xie¡¯s price was higher than expected. Even though he was in the real economy and didn¡¯t know much about the Internet, with the current development speed of the Internet, it was a blessing for Father Xie to be in the game now. If Xie Yan hadn¡¯t insisted, he might not have been touched. ¡°Deal!¡± Luo Feng nodded. Previously, he had invested 20 million yuan. In two months, he made a return of 80 million yuan. Compared to the profits, he would definitely earn less. However, he did not rely on this to earn money. There was money to be earned. He would be a fool not to take it. ¡°Great!¡± Father Xie raised his head and laughed. ¡°From now on, we¡¯re all on the same side. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll treat everyone to a meal!¡± Father Xie changed so quickly that Xie Yan had yet to react. He stood there in a daze, feeling like he was in a dream. His father had really been convinced by Luo Feng! Not only did he convince him, but he also bought back a portion of the shares. In other words, his father supported him?! Father Xie was also a little confused. He had originally come to cause trouble after all. Now, he had suddenly joined a conglomerate company and even became ¡°one of our own¡± with a group of children. In the end, he still couldn¡¯t bear to part with Xie Yan. He wanted to join if his persuasion failed and support him. He called the employees in the office beside him. There were about a hundred of them in total. It was not easy for them to find a suitable hotel, so they took up seven to eight tables. Luo Feng and Xie Yan were already sitting at a table, including the new shareholder, Xie Yan¡¯s father. ¡°I¡¯ll toast to Chairman Luo first!¡± Father Xie took the initiative to raise his wine glass and put away his wild attitude. He was very polite to Luo Feng. ¡°My attitude was bad previously. Please forgive me.¡± It was true that Luo Feng was the boss, but he could not stand the politeness of his elders. He quickly bowed and said, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re too polite. Xie Yan and I are classmates.¡± He could not help but feel a little emotional. Father Xie, whom he had just met, was indeed a little unreasonable. He was also fierce and evil to Xie Yan. However, in terms of apologizing to his juniors, Father Xie had already surpassed many adults. It was no wonder that he could do business so well with his bad temper. Father Xie punished himself by drinking three glasses of wine. After drinking tons of wine, his heart opened up a lot. He sincerely wanted to get closer to Luo Feng. ¡°I know my silly son well. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of him in the future!¡± Luo Feng did not have much of a taste for wine. However, as an elder, Father Xie¡¯s attitude was rather humble. He drank cup after cup, and Luo Feng had no choice but to drink cup after cup. The two of them started to call each other brothers as they drank. They were both a little confused. Xie Yan panicked and advised, ¡°Luo Feng, don¡¯t compete with my father in drinking. He can hold his alcohol!¡± A colleague at the side asked curiously, ¡°Really? Your father can hold his liquor so well?¡± Those who dared to say ¡°able to hold his alcohol¡± at the table did not dare to say such words easily without the exciting results of drinking at a table full of people. It could not help but pique the interest of others. Xie Yan looked at Luo Feng pitifully and said humbly, ¡°Let¡¯s put it this way. My father went out to discuss something. As long as he drank, the other party would either be under the table or on the way to the hospital.¡± There was nothing that Father Xie couldn¡¯t negotiate at a drinking table. Hearing this, Luo Feng sobered up. This might be Father Xie¡¯s trick to doing business. Ordinary people really couldn¡¯t learn it. However, Luo Feng did not care too much. Previously, with the augmentation of the medicine, his liver was much better than in his previous life. In addition, he had taken good care of himself in this world, so it was not a problem for him to drink some wine. ¡°It¡¯s fine! I¡¯ll definitely drink to my heart¡¯s content with Uncle since we got along on our first meeting today!¡± Luo Feng raised his wine glass and left with Father Xie. Father Xie was also quite happy. He did not reject any toast and poured it all into his stomach like vanilla. Xie Yan couldn¡¯t stop him even if he wanted to. He could only watch from the side. Then¡­ he saw his father lying on the table, his face as red as a lantern. This was the first time Xie Yan had seen his father drink so much. He called out in surprise, ¡°Dad?¡± Father Xie leaned on the table and gave Luo Feng a thumbs up. He said vaguely, ¡°Chairman Luo, I¡¯m impressed. You¡¯re this! I¡¯ll acknowledge you as my brother today! Just tell me if you need anything in the future! I¡¯ll definitely help you!¡± What kind of relationship has it become?! Xie Yan didn¡¯t know how to complain! Chapter 188 - 188 New Reward, Black Technology Card! 188 New Reward, Black Technology Card! When Xie Yan heard his drunk father¡¯s nonsense, he suddenly had an ominous feeling. The red-faced Father Xie suddenly sat up straight and slapped Xie Yan¡¯s head. ¡°From now on¡­ you¡¯ll follow your Uncle Luo! Do your best! Don¡¯t embarrass me!¡± ¡°Uncle Luo?¡± Xie Yan opened his mouth wide, not knowing how his father could say that! The ominous feeling intensified. ¡°Yes!¡± Father Xie had drunk a little too much and said, ¡°Chairman Luo, this brother¡­ I, I acknowledge him! From now on, he¡¯s your Uncle! Come, call him Uncle!¡± Xie Yan looked at Luo Feng awkwardly and said to Father Xie, ¡°We¡¯re in the same batch, and I¡¯m older than him! How did he become my uncle? Dad, are you alright?!¡± Bang! Father Xie slapped Xie Yan¡¯s head again. ¡°How rude. You must call my brother Uncle! Are you waiting for me to call you big brother? If I do, you¡¯ll pay me back!¡± Xie Yan straightened his neck, his face filled with grief and indignation. He held his breath, unable to find a place to vent. Luo Feng lowered his head and held his breath. He kept giving himself psychological hints. ¡°Hold it in. You must not laugh out loud. Think about sad things. You can¡¯t laugh.¡± Xie Yan felt wronged. He was a shareholder of the company after all. He was in the same company as Luo Feng every day. Could it be that he had to call him Uncle? He suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to accept going home to inherit the family business¡­ It was better than being inexplicably one generation younger! Just as Xie Yan was doubting his life, Father Xie leaned on the table and began to speak in a daze. ¡°Brother, this good-for-nothing son of mine¡­ has a soft personality. Please bear with him and discipline him well. Speaking of which¡­ it¡¯s also¡­ my fault. When he was young, I was busy with business¡­ and completely ignored his company¡­ Burp¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say it, little brat, you still dare to bare your teeth at me today¡­ I¡¯m quite happy¡­ Hehe¡­¡± Father Xie burped and rambled on about Xie Yan. Perhaps these were things he usually wouldn¡¯t say, but today, he used the alcohol to say them. At first, Xie Yan was a little embarrassed, but gradually, he sat quietly beside his father and listened to the drunk talk. Unknowingly, his eyes became hot. Luo Feng patted him and said, ¡°Your father is drunk. Send him back. I¡¯ll call a taxi for you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Yan wiped his eyes and carefully helped his father up, letting him lean on his shoulder. At some point, he had grown as tall as his father. From looking up to him in the past, he was now at eye level. He might even look down on him in the future. Xie Yan felt that it had been many years since he had spoken to his father properly. Today, he suddenly felt like he had gotten to know him again. That warm and sour feeling spread in his chest. ¡°Luo Feng, thank you for today.¡± When he reached the door, Xie Yan remembered that he had yet to thank Luo Feng seriously. ¡°We¡¯re on the same side. You¡¯re welcome,¡± Luo Feng joked. ¡°This Uncle will help you if there¡¯s anything.¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Xie Yan scolded with a smile and helped Father Xie into the taxi. Luo Feng packed up the meal, paid the bill, and sent the company employees away. He sat in the hotel lobby to rest. At this moment, the phone in his bag suddenly vibrated violently. Luo Feng took out his phone with a shudder. This commotion was not something that could be sent out by receiving messages. It had been a long time since he had heard it! He pressed the case excitedly. [Congratulations on completing your Achievement¡ªWhat People Want!] [What People Want¡ªThe loyalty of more than two investment targets has reached the maximum level!] [Reward: Black Technology Upgrade Card!] Luo Feng touched his pocket. Indeed, there was an exquisite black card lying inside. On the back was written the function! [Black Technology Upgrade Card: Can select a scientific research branch or technology to obtain research results that exceed the current world level by 30 years!] Luo Feng looked at the card and blinked. Full-level loyalty of two investment targets? One was definitely Ai Tingya, and the other was Xie Yan. He didn¡¯t expect that his words would really make him so loyal to him. Luo Feng played with the small card in his hand. This thing looked very useful after all! The modern world he was in was still in the 2000s. Be it technology or economy, they were both on the verge of taking off. If he could obtain research results in 30 years, it would be around 2030! Such a precious thing was simply a priceless treasure! He had to be extremely careful when choosing the occasion to use it! Luo Feng kissed the black card, tightened his pocket, and hummed a tune as he left the hotel. He had yet to think of a way to use it. Compared to taking care of the company that had just made new progress, Luo Feng remembered that he still had another important thing to do¡ª The proposal had yet to be completed. He didn¡¯t just say it to anger Ai Zhaojiang. ¡­ The day of Ai Tingya¡¯s birthday. Father Luo, Mother Luo, Professor Ai, and Luo Feng arrived at Ai Tingya¡¯s flat first. The three of them were extremely nervous. Facing the decorated room, they could not help but check it again. ¡°Have you bought the cake?¡± Mother Luo asked for the third time. She was a little confused. ¡°I¡¯ve already bought it!¡± ¡°What about the ring? Don¡¯t lose it. Keep it well!¡± ¡°Here.¡± Luo Feng took out an exquisite gift box. After opening it, there was a sparkling diamond ring inside. It was the size of a pigeon¡¯s egg. No matter how many times Mother Luo looked at it, she felt that her eyes were about to be blinded. ¡°Alright! Everything else in the house is set up!¡± Mother Luo confirmed again. According to Luo Feng¡¯s plan, he would have a romantic candlelight dinner with Ai Tingya first. After eating the birthday cake, he would propose! With the family members of both sides as witnesses, their relationship went one step further! Luo Feng glanced at the clock. It was almost the appointed time. ¡°Dad, Mom, and Professor Ai, wait in the garden upstairs and listen to my secret signal! Come down later!¡± First, he wanted to have a private time with Father Luo, Mother Luo and Professor Ai appeared as a surprise! ¡°Okay!¡± Mother Luo was extremely excited and felt light-headed. She had wanted Ai Tingya to be her daughter-in-law for a long time after all. Moreover, they were both women. Just thinking about the series of romantic events that Luo Feng had arranged was extremely touching. She clenched her fists, unable to calm her surging emotions. Ai Zhaojiang, who was at the side, didn¡¯t look so good. From the moment he entered, his expression had been so dark that no one dared to disturb him. He really couldn¡¯t bear to part with his granddaughter! However, he also knew that he was Ai Tingya¡¯s only family in the world. If Ai Tingya needed someone in this world to witness her relationship with Luo Feng, it would definitely be him. Even though he was crying uncontrollably in his heart, Ai Zhaojiang would still smile and wish Ai Tingya well. She was his only precious granddaughter after all. ¡°Alright, alright, stop working. Go up and wait!¡± It was almost six o¡¯clock and Ai Tingya was about to arrive! Chapter 189 - 189 At The Moment Of Death, The Rarely Bold Ai Tingya 189 At The Moment Of Death, The Rarely Bold Ai Tingya At six in the evening, Ai Tingya walked out of the classroom with her bag on her back. Today¡¯s class schedule coincided with the afternoon classes. Ai Tingya did not want to skip class on her birthday, so she agreed to meet Luo Feng in her new home at night. After leaving the classroom, the bone-chilling cold wind couldn¡¯t wait to pour into her clothes. Ai Tingya shivered and hailed a taxi to stop. She reported the location and supported her chin with one hand as she looked at the gradually lit night lights on the street. Previously, she had chatted with Barbara about giving Luo Feng a gift. Barbara told Ai Tingya that she should give Luo Feng whatever he liked. Ai Tingya thought about it and came up with an answer that made her very shy. Thinking of this, she subconsciously grabbed her collar again. Under the wide down jacket she was wearing was the gift she wanted to give Luo Feng today. When they arrived at their house, Ai Tingya pinched her collar nervously. The door was not closed tightly. A warm fragrance came from a small gap that was opened. The ambiguous orange-red light made Ai Tingya blush and her heart raced. She knew that Luo Feng would definitely prepare a surprise for her! When she pushed the door open, she saw that the ground was covered in romantic rose petals, leaving a path to the living room. Ai Tingya smiled and walked along the path. Luo Feng had been waiting in the middle of the sea of flowers for a long time. The room was dimly lit. Two fragrant candles were lit on the table, and an exquisite dinner and a birthday cake with swans and pearls were placed on the dining table. ¡°We¡¯re¡­ having candlelight dinner?¡± Ai Tingya had only seen it in television dramas. ¡°That¡¯s right. Happy birthday to you, Tingya!¡± Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya to the table and pulled out a stool for her like a gentleman before spreading a napkin for her. In the past, Luo Feng had brought Ai Tingya to high-end restaurants with thoughtful service. At that time, Ai Tingya only felt awkward and did not like to have someone waiting for instructions while she ate. However, if Luo Feng were to do this, Ai Tingya would only feel an indescribable sweetness in her heart. ¡°The dishes I prepared for you today are Bamboo Reporting Safety, Immortal Fairy Tu Lian, and Fish Chasing The Moon Shadow. There are honey pine cakes for dessert.¡± Luo Feng introduced the dishes one by one. They were all Ai Tingya¡¯s favorites and even had a nice name. ¡°By the way, I made these myself.¡± Luo Feng gave him a wink. ¡°Really? Amazing!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes lit up with surprise. This was the first time she had eaten Luo Feng¡¯s cooking after being with him for so long. Previously, she had only heard a little about Luo Feng¡¯s culinary skills. The reason why she did not have the chance to eat it was very simple¡ª Luo Feng was very lazy. ¡°Thank you.¡± Ai Tingya hugged Luo Feng and smelled the cologne on his body. Her nose twitched and she looked up at Luo Feng. ¡°Why do I feel that you¡¯re especially hard working today?¡± Luo Feng rarely dressed up. It was rare for him to wear such a grand outfit. Luo Feng wanted to say that of course he had to be more hardworking when proposing. He definitely had to dress up. ¡°I¡¯m hardworking just because I made you a meal? Is it because I¡¯m not good to you usually?¡± Luo Feng scratched Ai Tingya¡¯s nose and said dotingly, ¡°You¡¯re the smartest.¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Ai Tingya thought so too. She put down the doubts in her heart and picked up a pair of chopsticks to put in her mouth. ¡°Delicious!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s cheeks were bulging like a little squirrel. She was very supportive. Luo Feng only stroked her head when he saw her blissful face. He knew that his cooking was average. It was neither delicious nor unpalatable. Ai Tingya liked it so much because she loved him. Seeing that Ai Tingya could not stop eating, Luo Feng stopped her and said, ¡°Tingya, we still have to save some stomach for the cake.¡± ¡°Haha, I almost forgot. But these dishes¡­¡± Ai Tingya only thought that Luo Feng had made them himself and wanted to eat them all. She almost forgot that there was a birthday cake. ¡°I¡¯ll make more for you in the future.¡± Luo Feng held her hand and said, ¡°Come here first.¡± The two of them walked to the coffee table and sat on the ground. Luo Feng lit the birthday candle. The bean-sized flame flickered in Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes. Ai Tingya clasped her hands and closed her eyes to make a wish quietly. After a while, she opened her eyes and gently blew out the candle. ¡°What wish did you make?¡± Luo Feng was a little curious. ¡°It won¡¯t work if I tell you!¡± Ai Tingya pouted and subconsciously grabbed her collar again. Luo Feng did not need to think too much about it seeing her shy face. He knew that this wish was most likely related to him. Luo Feng looked at the time. It was time for the highlight! He secretly called Mother Luo. The phone rang three times before hanging up. He punched out the secret signal. It was time to propose! He grabbed the small square box in his pocket. ¡°Tingya, I¡­¡± ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve also prepared a small gift for you.¡± Ai Tingya suddenly interrupted Luo Feng. ¡°Aye?¡± Before Luo Feng could react, he saw Ai Tingya take off her wide down jacket. She was actually wearing a pure white cheongsam! A cheongsam was already very revealing of her figure. In addition, Ai Tingya had become more nutritious after entering university and had developed very well in all aspects. At this moment, she was curvy. Just one look at her made one¡¯s blood boil! Luo Feng could not take his eyes off her as he watched Ai Tingya gradually approach. Moreover, this cheongsam seemed to have been custom-made by Ai Tingya. The plum blossom buckle on her neck had turned into a small red bow, like a ribbon on a gift. As she had said, she was waiting for Luo Feng to open the gift. ¡°Do¡­ Do you like it?¡± Ai Tingya asked softly with a red face. Luo Feng¡¯s mind was blank. The most serious problem now was not whether he liked it or not¡­ He did not respond for a long time. Ai Tingya was exposed to his gaze. She felt ashamed and said uneasily, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ don¡¯t you like it?¡± She had mustered all her courage! ¡°Uh¡­ I do like it, but¡­¡± Luo Feng¡¯s eyes moved away from Ai Tingya¡¯s bow and looked ahead. Father Luo, Mother Luo, and Ai Zhaojiang stood a meter away. The three of them looked at the bold couple silently with their six eyes. The living room was filled with a strange silence. Ai Tingya turned her head stiffly and her mind exploded! There was only one sentence left in her mind. ¡°Is it too late to leave the Earth now?¡± Luo Feng reacted even faster. He picked up the down jacket and put it on Ai Tingya again. His heart was beating wildly. On the surface, he pretended that nothing had happened and tried to ease the atmosphere. ¡°Tingya, my parents and Professor Ai are here to celebrate your birthday.¡± Ai Tingya covered her face. She was so regretful that she forgot to greet them. She regretted it so much that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She almost walked into a tiger¡¯s den the last time she heeded Barbara¡¯s suggestion. Why didn¡¯t she learn her lesson! Ai Tingya was extremely glad that she had chosen the most proper cheongsam among the clothes Barbara had prepared for her. If she had worn other hot clothes, she would have died on the spot! She covered her face with both hands and peeped at the three adults who had appeared out of her expectations through her fingers. She was so embarrassed that she did not dare to look at anyone. Chapter 190 - 190 The Proposal Is Different From What I Thought 190 The Proposal Is Different From What I Thought The atmosphere was diverted. The five of them stared at each other, and an inexplicable awkwardness spread between them. It was not good for Luo Feng to propose under such circumstances, so the reserved fireworks ribbons were all put aside. Father and Mother Luo didn¡¯t know what to do, so they simply pulled Ai Zhaojiang to sit down. Ai Tingya curled up into a ball stiffly. She wanted to die when she thought about how her elders had heard her alluring conversation just now. Moreover, when she thought about how the older generation was more traditional, would Mother Luo think that she was an indecent girl? She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. The perfect image that she had painstakingly built in the past had collapsed overnight¡­ Luo Feng sat beside Ai Tingya. Seeing that she was about to crawl under the table, he hurriedly gave Mother Luo a look. Mother Luo understood and pretended that nothing had happened. She handed over a box. ¡°Tingya, happy birthday. This is a gift your uncle and I chose for you.¡± Ai Tingya finally looked up and carefully took the box. She whispered, ¡°Thank you, Auntie and Uncle.¡± ¡°Open it. Do you like it?¡± Ai Tingya opened the box and saw a lake-blue dress with a circle of unique embroidery on the waist. She liked it at first glance, but at this moment, there was only the awkwardness from before. ¡°I like it very much. Thank you, Auntie.¡± She turned into a heartless thank-you machine. Mother Luo revealed a benevolent smile and pulled Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you to call me Mom.¡± When Ai Tingya heard this, a trace of shock flashed across her eyes and she heaved a sigh of relief. She understood that Mother Luo was comforting her, indicating that she would not have other thoughts because of her bold statement. Instead, they looked forward to becoming a family. Ai Zhaojiang also heard it and did not feel that his granddaughter was doing anything wrong. He blamed Luo Feng for everything. If not for the fact that he had charmed Ai Tingya, how could a good girl be so bold! No matter how he thought about it, this was all Luo Feng¡¯s fault! They barely chatted for a while more. The three of them did not sit for long. The atmosphere was not in place after all, and the awkwardness had not dissipated. It was really not a good time to propose. ¡°You guys are tired today. Rest early. We¡¯ll go back first.¡± Father and Mother Luo stood up and gave the young people some time to themselves. When Ai Zhaojiang was about to leave, he wanted to bring Ai Tingya with him but he was very unwilling to be pulled away by Father and Mother Luo. Ai Tingya and Luo Feng sent the three of them to the door. As soon as the door closed, Ai Tingya slid to the ground and panted, looking like she wanted to die. She covered her face and said sadly, ¡°Boohoo, how can I see Uncle and Auntie in the future? And Grandpa¡­ I¡¯m so shameless¡­ Oh my god¡­¡± ¡°How can you be shameless?¡± Luo Feng comforted her. ¡°We¡¯re all adults.¡± Ai Tingya looked up and said angrily, ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s all your fault. Why didn¡¯t you tell me they were here!¡± Luo Feng scratched his face. ¡°I just wanted to give you a surprise.¡± Ai Tingya covered her ears. ¡°I don¡¯t care! I don¡¯t care! It¡¯s all your fault!¡± She did not need to explain now. She needed comfort. If she traced back to the source, it was because Luo Feng had given her a Ferrari that Ai Tingya wanted to return a gift to him. She would never want such a precious gift again! Luo Feng coaxed her, but Ai Tingya did not fall for it. Seeing that Ai Tingya was about to dig up old scores again, Luo Feng had a flash of inspiration and pretended to say casually, ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything because I originally planned to propose to you today.¡± He took out the diamond ring box and placed it on the table, indicating that he was not lying. ¡°Hmph, even if you say that¡­¡± Ai Tingya paused and looked at the ring on the table with wide eyes. ¡°E-Engagement?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. They¡¯re all here to bring up the atmosphere. They wanted to wait for me to propose successfully before they came out.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ai Tingya stood rooted to the ground. She seemed to have spoilt something very important¡­ Luo Feng picked up the box and played with it. He sighed and said, ¡°Looks like I can only wait for the next opportunity.¡± He eliminated all kinds of potential risks that would hinder him. Who would have thought that Ai Tingya would be so bold tonight? All the good things on both sides had turned into bubbles. Ai Tingya was speechless. Everything was inappropriate! She had to think of a way to save it! Ai Tingya looked at the box in Luo Feng¡¯s hand enviously. Her eyes were about to stick to it. Her small hand sneakily rubbed over, wanting to touch the ring she had dreamed of. Luo Feng saw her a cheap shot and a cheap trick from the corner of his eye and calmly placed the box back on the table. Ai Tingya carefully touched it with anticipation. She covered the box with her hand and turned her head to see Luo Feng¡¯s reaction. Luo Feng only used his peripheral vision to look and turned his head to the side, pretending not to care. She smiled triumphantly and quietly opened the box. Inside lay a shiny diamond ring. Ai Tingya took the ring and put it on her finger happily. The diamond ring was custom-made by Luo Feng according to the dimension of Ai Tingya¡¯s finger. It was just right. Ai Tingya had been dreaming about this moment for a long time. Even though she was a little unwilling to recall the interlude, she was still happy at this moment. She held the ring and could not bear to part with it. The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably. She looked up and met Luo Feng¡¯s gaze. He was looking over with a mischievous smile. Ai Tingya immediately put down her hands and said with a straight face, ¡°Why are you looking at me!¡± ¡°You set this up yourself.¡± ¡°No way! I¡­ I¡¯m just trying it on.¡± Luo Feng held her hand that was wearing the ring and rubbed the dazzling diamonds. ¡°This is an engagement ring. Wearing it means that you¡¯re willing to marry me. It¡¯s useless to go back on your word.¡± ¡°Who wants to marry you¡­¡± Ai Tingya retracted her hand shyly, and the blush on her face burned to her ears. ¡°I¡¯m just curious¡­ And¡­ And won¡¯t it be a waste if no one wears it?¡± She looked away at the leftovers on the table. That¡¯s right! She was afraid of wasting, not eager to get married! ¡°It¡¯s not a waste.¡± Luo Feng smiled evilly. ¡°You! I¡¯ll just return it to you!¡± Ai Tingya could not help but want to take off the ring. Luo Feng pulled her into his arms and whispered into Ai Tingya¡¯s ear, ¡°Ai Tingya, are you willing to marry me?¡± Ai Tingya lowered her head and did not speak. She nodded so lightly that it was almost impossible to tell. Luo Feng deliberately teased her. ¡°Huh? You¡¯re unwilling if you don¡¯t speak? Then return the ring to me first.¡± ¡°Why should I return it to you!¡± Ai Tingya raised her head and protested. ¡°You still want to take back what you put on me!¡± ¡°I thought you were unwilling if you didn¡¯t speak,¡± Luo Feng said aggrievedly. ¡°Yes! I¡¯m willing!¡± Ai Tingya mustered her courage and shouted. She looked at Luo Feng¡¯s expression and knew that he was teasing her on purpose. However, she was afraid that he would really save the proposal for the next time. Chapter 191 - 191 The So-Called Revision Is The Job Of All The Students 191 The So-Called Revision Is The Job Of All The Students ¡°I¡¯m willing!¡± Ai Tingya shouted loudly and gently pecked Luo Feng¡¯s lips. Like a chick avoiding the rain, she burrowed into Luo Feng¡¯s embrace and hugged him tightly. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Luo Feng lowered his head and kissed Ai Tingya¡¯s hair. The two of them hugged each other for a long time. ¡°Tingya, don¡¯t we still have something to do?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s gaze landed on Ai Tingya¡¯s neck. How could he still see the collar of the white cheongsam? He was still a little excited. It was really rare to see Ai Tingya take the initiative to offer herself. Last time, he could not succeed because her relative came. This time, he might be able to take it further. There were only the two of them left in the house. Those who should leave had left. The right time, place, and people were all here! ¡°No!¡± Ai Tingya refused firmly. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Uncle and Auntie know that you¡¯re with me. You have to go back tonight. Otherwise, they will think that I¡¯m indecent!¡± Ai Tingya gave a very good reason. ¡°No, I¡­ I can go back later. They won¡¯t¡­¡± Before Luo Feng could finish speaking, the person in his arms suddenly pushed him away and ruthlessly retreated to the door. ¡°I won¡¯t keep you. Sleep early. See you at school tomorrow.¡± Ai Tingya pushed Luo Feng out and closed the door ruthlessly. Luo Feng almost gave the anti-theft door a face-to-face greeting and took a step back to protect his appearance. Was his proposal a success? Why did it feel a little sloppy? Not only was it sloppy, but he was also chased out of the house. ¡°Am I¡­ losing or profiting?¡± Luo Feng looked at the moon and sighed. He put his hands in his pockets and shook his head with a bitter smile. He walked out into the wind. ¡­ Ever since the proposal incident, Luo Feng had seen Ai Tingya even less. As the final exam was approaching, all the students in the school had entered a tense state of preparation for the exam. The number of people in the library had increased exponentially. Every morning, they could see students occupying seats standing at the door and waiting for the door to open. There were fewer customers at the milk tea shop, but Xiao Fei and the others were still busy. With the enhancement of takeaway, the orders every day increased instead of decreasing. Previously, she had delayed a lot of time because of other things. Ai Tingya had missed a lot of the revision plans she had set up. All she thought about every day was revision. She had temporarily forgotten about the proposal and engagement. Luo Feng did not disturb her. He hid in the dormitory most of the time to idle. On this day, there were only Luo Feng and Hao Yingqiang in the dormitory. During this period of time, he had been nervous about his studies. Hao Yingqiang did not look for his girlfriend or work his part-time job. He could not be bothered to fight for a seat in the library, so he stayed in the dormitory to accompany Luo Feng. Hao Yingqiang lay on the bed and farmed questions, scratching his head as he wrote. The approaching exam day brought with it a sense of urgency. He wanted to stop and rest for a while, but he did not dare to stop. He was very irritable, and the sound of his head being knocked became louder and louder. ¡°Don¡¯t be too rough on your scalp. You¡¯ll go bald,¡± Luo Feng reminded kindly. Unlike Hao Yingqiang¡¯s anxious and painful revision, he sat at the table and flipped to the next page leisurely. ¡°I¡¯m so young. How can I be bald?¡± Hao Yingqiang stopped scratching his head and put down his pen to lie down and look at the ceiling. ¡°Don¡¯t refuse to believe it.¡± Luo Feng turned another page. ¡°I have a friend who had an afro in high school which became a huge baldy when he became an adult.¡± ¡°Huh? He¡¯s only in university and he¡¯s already bald? How tragic.¡± Hao Yingqiang rubbed his scalp that was in pain. Luo Feng was talking about Lei Jin. In his previous life, Lei Jin¡¯s afro could not accompany him for long. Luo Feng had once reminded him, but he did not know if he could save him. Even though they often contacted each other after entering university, the end of the semester was about the same. Lei Jin was also busy revising and did not have time to chat with Luo Feng. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Hao Yingqiang asked as he lay by the bed. ¡°This.¡± Luo Feng showed him the cover. Hao Yingqiang blinked. ¡°Finance Mathematics? Your Finance Faculty taught mathematics this year? So tragic!¡± He was not from the same faculty as Luo Feng, but as long as it was related to mathematics, it would be categorized into the devil course. Hao Yingqiang¡¯s eyes were filled with sympathy. ¡°No, this is next semester¡¯s class. I¡¯m taking a look in advance.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to revise?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve finished revising long ago.¡± Luo Feng put down the book and looked up at Hao Yingqiang. Actually, he did not need to revise much. His learning ability had always been the same as when he was in high school. He had once studied the first two years of high school for half a month. He could read ten lines at a time and had a photographic memory. The knowledge points would be imprinted in his mind like a branding iron. There was no need to revise at all. However, he would definitely be beaten up if he said this. Luo Feng said that he had revised well. Hao Yingqiang was like a defeated golden retriever. He lay by the bed with a bitter expression. ¡°You¡¯re so awesome. You don¡¯t forget to study when you are doing business. No wonder you¡¯re so relaxed¡­¡± The entire school was reviewing nervously. If Hao Yingqiang was a striver in the waves, then Luo Feng was a successful person sitting at the bow of the cruise ship and facing the morning sun. While others were struggling in the wind and waves, Luo Feng was elegant and alone. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious. ¡°I heard that your math teacher is very fierce. Many people cried because they failed in the previous batch. They really need to be prepared in advance¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang wanted to cry when he said this. Everyone was revising, except for Luo Feng. ¡°It¡¯s that terrifying?¡± Luo Feng was a little surprised. Those who could enter Oxford were not idiots. Moreover, the standards of a university were different from high school. The teacher¡¯s job was to teach enough so that the students did not fail the subjects. It all depended on the students¡¯ self-awareness in their private time. This was because arranging the make-up test would also take up the teacher¡¯s additional time. According to the principle that university students had to be responsible for their results, ordinary teachers would let them pass if they could. If the test paper was one or two points short, they would also summarize their usual results and let the students off. He did not expect the math teacher to know how to operate in reverse. If Luo Feng remembered correctly, the math teacher next semester seemed to be Professor Jing¡­ ¡°That¡¯s right! He¡¯s a willful and terrifying teacher!¡± Hao Yingqiang was interested. ¡°I even heard from my senior that in their first class as math professors, the professor didn¡¯t hand in anything. He threw the teaching materials aside first and criticized the person who wrote the teaching materials for half the class, saying that the teaching materials he¡¯s using aren¡¯t good.¡± Hao Yingqiang happened to join a club with finance students, so he heard a lot of interesting things. Luo Feng looked down at the textbook. There were indeed very few notes, which were similar to new ones. ¡°Do you know what happened next?¡± Hao Yingqiang asked. ¡°There¡¯s a continuation to the story?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Hao Yingqiang jumped down from the bed and threw a bag of potato chips to Luo Feng. He sat opposite him and said, ¡°It seems that a nosy student sorted out the mistakes the professor said and sent it to the person who wrote the teaching materials. That person came straight to the school! He said that he wanted to ask for guidance!¡± ¡°Yes, yes! And then?¡± Luo Feng was engrossed. ¡°Then¡­ Then, he was scolded by the professor for an entire afternoon. He left the school dejectedly.¡± Hao Ying forced a smile. ¡°There are rumors that that person is also the professor¡¯s student.¡± Chapter 192 - 192 Its Just The Final Examination, Im Already Preparing For The Next Semester 192 It¡¯s Just The Final Examination, I¡¯m Already Preparing For The Next Semester ¡°Haha, he especially came to be reprimanded.¡± Luo Feng smiled. The professor Hao Yingqiang was talking about was most likely Professor Jing. Luo Feng only knew that Professor Jing was very accomplished in academics, but he did not expect him to have such a personality. He could not help but look forward to his class. ¡°However, it also reflects the professor¡¯s ferocity. It¡¯s good to hurry up and prepare,¡± Hao Yingqiang said. At this moment, Yang Bo pushed the door open and entered. He looked very relaxed and was carrying a bag of skewers. ¡°I knew you were in the dormitory. Come and eat together.¡± Yang Bo placed a small table in the middle of the dormitory and the three of them sat together. He took a stick for himself. ¡°You weren¡¯t in the dormitory the entire day, were you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Hao Yingqiang cried. He felt like he was about to turn moldy. ¡°Aren¡¯t you bored in the dormitory?¡± ¡°I¡¯m revising. How can I have time to be bored?¡± Hao Yingqiang wailed. ¡°The exam is coming up. Why aren¡¯t you anxious at all!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s results were very good and he was already studying for the next semester. Hao Yingqiang could understand this. However, Yang Bo did not revise at all and was not in the dormitory for the entire day. He did not know where he went to relax. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? I never revise.¡± Yang Bo looked smug. ¡°¡­You¡¯re so confident?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just an exam. Why are you so nervous?¡± Yang Bo did not mind. ¡°Moreover, I¡¯m usually very serious. It won¡¯t be a problem for me to pass!¡± ¡°What if you fail?¡± Hao Yingqiang became more and more envious as he spoke. ¡°So be it. It¡¯s not like you¡¯ll lose anything.¡± Yang Bo was especially open-minded. ¡°Let me tell you, a university life where you don¡¯t fail is incomplete. It¡¯s like eating dumplings without vinegar. You can calm down like me.¡± Seeing how carefree Yang Bo was and how calm Luo Feng was, Hao Yingqiang was extremely envious. They were all in the same dormitory after all, and he seemed to be the only one panicking. ¡°I¡¯m not as carefree as you. If my mother found out that I failed, she would definitely beat me to death.¡± After Hao Yingqiang finished speaking, he could not eat the barbecue anymore. He returned to his table and picked up his book to read again. Yang Bo ate the barbecue and said slowly, ¡°Hehe, my mother doesn¡¯t care about me. I went to the Internet caf¨¦ to play games for half a day today. It was very satisfying! I didn¡¯t take it to heart at all. We¡¯re already adults. Why are we so afraid of the adults at home?¡± Hao Yingqiang was a little swayed hearing Yang Bo¡¯s words. Suddenly, revision seemed to be too tiring. He seemed to be unable to finish reading those books. Instead of continuing to suffer here, why not fail a subject happily? Hao Yingqiang felt that this was a question worth thinking about. Just as Yang Bo was teaching Luo Feng how to calm down, Ali returned. He was holding a few dishes packed from the canteen in his hand and a thick book in his other hand. He was usually the most hardworking person in the dormitory. He was focused on his studies and would be in the library when he was free. Sometimes, he went even more frequently than Ai Tingya. Luo Feng and Yang Bo gave him a seat seeing that he had returned late. ¡°Yangbo, you¡¯re back so quickly.¡± Ali put down his dinner. ¡°I wanted to call you along.¡± ¡°Call me?¡± Yang Bo was puzzled. ¡°Yes, I saw you sitting in the library for the entire day today. I wanted to call you when I left, but I didn¡¯t expect you to come back first.¡± Ali smiled. ¡°You even went to a barbecue. You left quite quickly.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luo Feng. ¡°¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang. The two of them looked at each other and fell silent. ¡°Library? Ali, did you see wrongly¡­¡± Hai Yingqiang stared at Yang Bo¡¯s flushed face and said faintly, ¡°Why did I hear that Yang Bo went to the Internet caf¨¦ to play games for half a day today?¡± Ali still did not know what had happened and said firmly, ¡°No way. I saw him with my own eyes. These clothes are exactly the same. I can¡¯t be wrong.¡± Hao Yingqiang¡¯s gaze shifted to Yang Bo, waiting for him to explain. Yang Bo struggled for a moment. ¡°¡­I read for a while before playing a game¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang felt that he had been played for a fool. He threw down the book and walked towards Yang Bo. ¡°Just failing a subject? If not your university life would be incomplete?¡± Hao Yingqiang gave a fake smile and gradually approached Yang Bo. ¡°B*stard, hand over your life!¡± ¡°I was joking!¡± Yang Bo covered his head and fled. The entire floor could hear his screams. Luo Feng pulled the confused Ali to the side to avoid accidentally injuring them. ¡°Let him do it again!¡± Luo Feng could not help but clap and cheer. Yang Bo was indeed too dog-like. ¡°Spare me!¡± Yang Bo hugged his head and curled up in the corner. He could only smile apologetically. ¡°I was just joking with you. It¡¯s wrong to take the exam without studying! Let¡¯s revise together in our dormitory! We¡¯ll study all night!¡± ¡°Hehe, who¡¯s revising with you?¡± Hao Yingqiang mocked. ¡°If you want to revise, you should revise with Luo Feng. If you don¡¯t understand anything, you can ask him.¡± Yang Bo stood up and patted his pants. He snorted and said, ¡°You¡¯re in the Mathematics Faculty, and Luo Feng is in the Finance Faculty. They¡¯re not in the same field. Why are you asking him?¡± Hao Yingqiang hooked his arm around Luo Feng¡¯s neck and picked up the textbook on his table. ¡°Do you see that? He¡¯s super good at math. Have you forgotten that our math public classes are all in the same classroom?¡± Even though there were electives and compulsory courses in universities, the students of Oxford studied every subject as a compulsory subject. The four of them in the same dormitory studied different majors but mathematics was the common denominator. They all attended classes in the same large classroom and were also a compulsory subject at the end of the semester. ¡°What? That old-fashioned old man wants to test us?¡± Yang Bo slapped his head as if he had just woken up from a dream. He was still going to the library to read and had completely forgotten that there was still a course he had yet to revise. ¡°Haha, Professor Vincent is famous for being powerful. You actually dared to forget his class. This is retribution, right?¡± Hao Yingqiang placed his hands on his hips and mocked Yang Bo without restraint. This was the consequence of secretly revising behind his roommate¡¯s back! How terrifying was Professor Vincent? It could be proved just by saying a little. He was good friends with Professor Jing! They had once scolded the person who produced the teaching materials together, and it was even harsher and crueler than Professor Jing¡¯s teaching method. Failure was the norm in his hands! ¡°Luo Feng!¡± Yang Bo hugged Luo Feng¡¯s thigh. ¡°Bring me along too. I¡¯m really bad at math!¡± ¡°¡­ Ahaha¡­¡± Luo Feng laughed dryly and looked at Yang Bo¡¯s pitiful face. He had no choice but to revise with him¡­ ¡­ On the day of the mathematics examination, Luo Feng was poached from the class team by his three roommates and sat with them. Luo Feng sat obediently in his seat, supported his chin with one hand, and looked out the window in a daze. The table behind him trembled non-stop. He turned around and saw Hao Yingqiang sitting at the back, sweating nervously. His hands pressed on his thighs and could not help but tremble, as if there was a sewing machine under his feet. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I couldn¡¯t understand a word in today¡¯s test!¡± Hao Yingqiang¡¯s tearful face kept swallowing. Chapter 193 - 193 Professor, Arent You Too Vicious! 193 Professor, Aren¡¯t You Too Vicious! ¡°I dreamed that I couldn¡¯t understand a word!¡± Hao Yingqiang covered his face, as if he was still immersed in a nightmare. Luo Feng felt that he was a little too miserable. How had he been tortured by revision? He comforted him, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Dreams are the opposite.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes, you can definitely understand the words!¡± ¡°Then what does it mean if I understand when it¡¯s connected?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no choice. You didn¡¯t say it in your dream.¡± Mathematics was a very magical subject. He could understand every word, but many people were often puzzled about what it meant to express it together. Even if he understood it, he could not do it. This might be the wonder of mathematics. Hao Yingqiang looked at Luo Feng speechlessly. His legs stopped trembling, and he stopped thinking about the nightmare. He didn¡¯t seem so nervous anymore. However, this magical way of comforting people made him want to hit someone. At this moment, Professor Vincent walked in with a stack of test papers. He was wearing a pair of glasses that were as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle and a white shirt. The sparse hair on the top of his head could not cover his extremely smart head. He pouted. It was obvious that he was very good at reprimanding people. As soon as he entered, the classroom was immediately silent. It could be seen how powerful this old professor was. The most terrifying thing was that he, who usually did not smile, walked in with a smile today. Many students could not help but shiver. ¡°Oh no!¡± Luo Feng heard Hao Yingqiang whisper, ¡°I heard from my senior that Professor Vincent likes to watch students fail the subjects the most. The brighter his smile, the harder the questions!¡± Luo Feng was speechless. Didn¡¯t the professor have anything else to do? ¡°Alright, everyone, put away everything unrelated to the exam. Put your school bags by the podium. We¡¯re about to prepare for the exam,¡± Professor Vincent said with a chuckle. Hao Yingqiang whispered, ¡°My information is related to the exam. Can I not accept it?¡± Even though it was a joke, Professor Vincent would definitely not come up with the original question in the book. After everyone had packed up, Professor Vincent counted the papers and said, ¡°I have good news and bad news for everyone in this exam. Which do you want to hear first?¡± ¡°Bad news, right?¡± A classmate in the back row interrupted. ¡°The bad news is that there are only five questions in this test.¡± ¡°This can be considered bad news¡­¡± Many students were already mentally prepared to fail. For ordinary people, there was no difference between owing a million yuan and 10 million yuan because they could not afford it. There was actually not much difference between five, ten, and a hundred questions that he did not know how to do. ¡°Then what¡¯s the good news?¡± Another student asked. ¡°Hehe.¡± Professor Vincent smiled mysteriously. ¡°The good news is that there are six hours for this exam. You can slowly answer it. There¡¯s quite a lot of time!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± All the students wailed. No wonder the exam was scheduled at one-thirty today. This was to try to let everyone catch up to dinner. The students were gloomy. Some of them looked like they were sitting still, but they were actually already starting to rot. Even those who entered the examination hall for the first time knew that the longer the time, the harder the questions would be. Moreover, five questions for six hours. What an abnormal problem! Hao Yingqiang was on the brink of tears. ¡°I dreamed last night that we took the test for six hours¡­¡± Luo Feng turned around and glanced at him. He felt that Hao Yingqiang had really chosen the wrong major. He might have a better future learning fortune-telling and divination. ¡°Five students, help me distribute the test papers,¡± Professor Vincent said kindly. Then, he raised a thick stack of foolscap paper from under the lecture table! It was not that he picked it up or picked it up, but he really lifted it up. Moreover, it was very bold. From the beginning, he sent five to each student and reminded them considerately, ¡°There are enough foolscap papers today. Classmates, you can raise your hands if you need them.¡± When he received the test paper and took a look, Luo Feng believed that Hao Yingqiang was not lying. Professor Vincent¡¯s smile was as bright as the sun. There was really a difficult question hidden behind it. Other than the first question being relatively conventional, any student with a high mathematics foundation could solve it. However, things became terrifying from the second question onwards! Hao Yingqiang might really be suitable for divination. He was right about one thing. ¡°Even though I know every word, I don¡¯t know what it means when I connect them.¡± The last four questions were very short, but they contained many mathematical formulas, especially those that relied on mathematical thinking. For example, everyone knew that 1 + 1 = 2, but why could 1 + 1 be equal to 2? It seemed to be a nonsensical question, but it could actually be answered mathematically, but it was very troublesome. Professor Vincent¡¯s question was similar to this. If Luo Feng had not eaten the star student pill before, he might have been helpless! He could not help but look up at Professor Vincent. The old man was holding a thermos and drinking tea leisurely, his smile happy and content. If they were not in the examination hall now, Luo Feng even felt that he would start humming a tune. ¡°Boohoo¡­ Boohoo¡­ The dream has come true¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang whimpered softly behind him. After Luo Feng roughly browsed through it, he began to answer seriously. He finally understood why Professor Vincent was like a wholesale rough paper. It was because it was really not enough! It was not enough for Luo Feng to finish writing an entire side of the answer to one question. Just the size of the answer steps was too necessary to give him six hours. He finished the first question with a whimper and finished the second question with a sigh. An hour had passed. Luo Feng found the rhythm and answered the questions much faster. However, Hao Yingqiang, who was behind him, was not so calm. The grievances were endless, each more sorrowful and desperate than the last. On both sides, Yang Bo and Ali also sighed to varying degrees. The more Luo Feng wrote, the more he felt that Professor Vincent was very sinister. The last two questions involved knowledge that he had yet to teach. Actually, it was not that he had never learned it before. Professor Vincent might have mentioned it in class, but that was not the examination venue for this semester. Very few students cared. If Luo Feng had not studied it in advance, he might have also died here and barely passed with 60%. Two hours had passed by the time he finished five questions. Normally, two hours was enough for Wang Yun to complete all the homework of the four people in the dormitory. Luo Feng put down his pen and moved his sore right arm, secretly observing his surroundings. Many students seemed to have stopped writing earlier than him. The test paper in front of them was still blank, mainly because¡­ They did not know how to solve it? From the corner of his eye, Luo Feng saw a male classmate diagonally above him. He was holding a pen in one hand and knocking his head with the other. There was a rustling sound, and the expression on his face was especially rich. ¡°What the f*ck is this? What the f*ck is this¡­¡± Luo Feng looked at his mouth and seemed to understand what he was muttering. In the end, Luo Feng saw him put down his pen and slap himself sadly¡­ Chapter 195 - 195 Youre Very Talented, Will You Consider Changing Your Major? 195 You¡¯re Very Talented, Will You Consider Changing Your Major? The new questions set by Professor Vincent were all very difficult. It took Luo Feng nearly two hours to write the five questions on the test paper, and the new questions took him another hour. They started the test at half past one. It was almost five o¡¯clock when Luo Feng looked up after he was done with the paper. Professor Vincent was not teaching mathematics in Ai Tingya¡¯s class. She had most likely finished the exam and returned to the dormitory to rest. Luo Feng saw that Professor Vincent was sitting behind the podium with nothing to do again and did not pay attention to him. He took the test paper and new questions and walked to the podium to hand them to the professor. ¡°Professor, I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Professor Vincent was stunned, looking very surprised. He did not expect Luo Feng to finish it so quickly. The difficulty of this question was different from the test paper. It was left for the top students in their fourth year. They might have just found some ideas to solve the question after an hour. ¡°Already? Let me take a look.¡± Professor Vincent was skeptical. Professor Vincent took Luo Feng¡¯s paper and read it from beginning to end. His eyes widened. After reading it, he put down the paper and pondered for a long time. After thinking carefully, he said, ¡°Do you have any thoughts about developing yourself in the field of mathematics in the future?¡± ¡°No,¡± Luo Feng replied. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯m very talented.¡± He might have chosen the Finance major with Ai Tingya previously but Luo Feng really did not care. He would learn very well with his learning ability no matter what he chose after all. Moreover, with the guarantee of the cashback, it was not a problem for him to settle down. Therefore, he was much more casual in this aspect. In mathematics, Luo Feng was interested in solving problems, but he did not have the calm personality of an academic and did not think too much about it. Professor Vincent suddenly became especially gentle and said earnestly, ¡°You¡¯re actually very talented.¡± Many students stopped doing the questions and looked at the two people in front of the podium. Their mouths fell open when they saw Professor Vincent¡¯s rare gentleness. Professor Vincent could also smile without any conspiracy? However, did the professor really not have any backup plans? Everyone looked at Luo Feng again. Other than praying for him silently, they seemed to be unable to do anything else. Luo Feng had a hesitant expression because he really felt that it was not suitable for him to sit down and do research. Researching a subject not only required profound knowledge, it also required enough patience to face failures again and again before standing up again. He knew himself very well and felt that he was not suitable. Professor Vincent saw Luo Feng¡¯s hesitation and did not force him. ¡°I hope you can consider what I said. You can leave first.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor.¡± Luo Feng smiled. Under everyone¡¯s surprised gazes, Luo Feng left the examination hall happily. Professor Vincent looked at this unique student with an admiring smile. When the girl near the podium saw this scene, she rubbed her eyes hard. She must be seeing things to see such a gentle Professor Vincent! It must be! When Professor Vincent turned around, he put on a fake smile again. ¡°Are you all done? Do you need to do another question?¡± The middle school student hurriedly lowered his head, resisting Professor Vincent¡¯s strange way of caring with all his heart. As expected, it was the same old professor with a treacherous smile. Only Luo Feng left the venue early for the six-hour test. The other students sat for six hours, their butts turning numb. Professor Vincent collected a thick stack of test papers and specially found two students to carry them away. The students were gloomy. They lay on the table and did not want to accept reality. Yang Bo and the other two gathered together and stared at each other. They smiled bitterly at each other and walked back to the dormitory in a daze. They saw Luo Feng, who had already finished his date, lying on the bed and playing with his phone with a blissful expression. As well as the dinner Luo Feng had brought back for them in advance on his table, it was still hot. ¡°Ahhh!¡± Yang Bo lay on the table and wailed. ¡°We¡¯re dead meat!¡± Hao Yingqiang felt that he had already done his best and was actually waiting for fate. It was useless to think too much after the test. He comforted Yang Bo. ¡°A university life without failing is incomplete. Think about it.¡± ¡°Are you comforting me?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°You¡­ I¡­¡± Yang Bo was speechless. He opened the lunch box and wolfed it down. That night, he had the same dream as Hao Yingqiang. ¡­ The scores for the advanced mathematics exam were released especially quickly. The day after the exam, he could check his results in the school administration system. In the dormitory, Hao Yingqiang¡¯s hands trembled slightly as he entered his student number and password. The moment the window popped up, he closed his eyes and clasped his hands together in prayer. ¡°If I pass, I promise to study hard next semester and not waste another minute of my life!¡± His eyes opened a crack. ¡°68? I¡­ I passed!¡± Hao Yingqiang raised his arms and shouted as if he had won a battle. Even though it was considered a low-altitude pass, Hao Yingqiang did not dare to imagine that he could obtain 68 points from Professor Vincent. ¡°Congratulations.¡± Luo Feng and the other two walked to his computer at the same time. Hao Yingqiang was the most nervous one before the test after all. It was already not easy for him to score so many points under high pressure. He could finally feel at ease after the test. Hao Yingqiang asked the three of them, ¡°How did you do?¡± Ali said disappointedly, ¡°I only scored 73 points. It¡¯s not much.¡± He was usually very serious in class. When he had nothing to do, he would go to the library and treat learning as his duty. He was the most self-aware one in the dormitory, but he did far worse than he had expected. ¡°Cough¡­ I¡­ 70.¡± Yang Bo looked smug. ¡°And you said you didn¡¯t revise!¡± Hao Yingqiang was furious. Even though Yang Bo had asked Luo Feng for help during the exam, Professor Vincent had come to Luo Feng¡¯s side and circled him. Yang Bo did not dare to act rashly. He could only rely on himself for the rest. The few lines of answers he had copied were considered hints given to him by Luo Feng. After reading them a few times, Yang Bo immediately found the idea of understanding the questions. He crossed out the lines he had copied previously and wrote down his own steps to solve the questions. If not for his usual revision, he might not have been able to write a word. The two of them played for a while before remembering that they had yet to ask about Luo Feng¡¯s results. However, they were too embarrassed to ask. During the exam, even though he did not know what Professor Vincent had said to Luo Feng, Hao Yingqiang, who was sitting at the back, felt that it was definitely not a good thing. After returning to the dormitory, when he described it to Ali and Yangbo, he added fuel to the fire. He felt that Luo Feng must have provoked Professor Vincent or been troubled by the Professor. Even though Luo Feng had an indifferent attitude before the test, that was Professor Vincent. Perhaps Luo Feng had also failed¡­ Now that Luo Feng did not take the initiative to mention the results, they felt that it was close to the mark and not far off¡­ Chapter 196 - 196 Damn It, Luo Feng Is Showing Off Again! 196 Damn It, Luo Feng Is Showing Off Again! Luo Feng held his phone with both hands and was texting Ai Tingya to ask about her results. Ever since the revision month began, he and Ai Tingya had almost communicated by phone. They had only met briefly on the day of the high school entrance examination. Ai Tingya knew how to revise in the dormitory again. Luo Feng was even happier to know that Ai Tingya had done well than to receive good results himself. He looked up and realized that the three people in the dormitory were looking at him sympathetically. Luo Feng asked curiously, ¡°Why are you all looking at me like that?¡± Hao Yingqiang sighed and said, ¡°Luo Feng, you don¡¯t have to be sad. It¡¯s just an exam.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Luo Feng was at a loss. ¡°We¡¯re all brothers. You don¡¯t have to hide it or force a smile. We all understand.¡± ¡°What do you know?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang was very careful with his words so as not to hurt Luo Feng¡¯s pride.¡± Didn¡¯t you¡­ not do well? Professor Vincent is a little serious. Don¡¯t take it to heart. ¡± ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng was confused. ¡°I scored full marks.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The three of them were speechless. They looked at Luo Feng silently and suddenly felt that they were like clowns just now! ¡°Huh? Why aren¡¯t you talking again?¡± Luo Feng actually did not check his results. He did the additional question and Professor Vincent had promised to give him full marks after all. He was a professor and would definitely not lie to him. Moreover, many students would definitely log into the teaching system at the same time. Luo Feng could not be bothered to fight for it. Yang Bo and the other two suddenly revealed vigorous concern. Then, they did not say a word and only looked at him. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We just think you¡¯re a dog¡­¡± Yang Bo said faintly. Hao Yingqiang and Ah Li nodded silently, indicating that they agreed. Luo Feng was confused. ¡°Really? I didn¡¯t do anything.¡± ¡°Hehe, I knew you wouldn¡¯t fail. You¡¯re so good at pretending.¡± Yang Bo hated himself for being too naive and foolishly believing Hao Yingqiang¡¯s words. Now that he thought about it, there was no need to worry about Luo Feng at all. After all, he had a question. He only had an idea after seeing Luo Feng¡¯s solution steps. Yang Bo¡¯s results were all thanks to Luo Feng. There was no need to worry about him! Originally, Yang Bo wanted to secretly work hard in the library and stun everyone in the dormitory. He wanted to be the protagonist of the novel who shocked the world with a single feat. Yang Bo felt that this script was too suitable for him. Unfortunately, he had guessed the beginning and the end correctly, but he had guessed wrongly about the protagonist. He did not expect Luo Feng to steal all the limelight. Hao Yingqiang and Ah Li had the same thoughts. A few minutes ago, they others were still worried that Luo Feng had left the venue early and had a conflict with Professor Vincent. A few minutes later, they felt like clowns. They were very angry. ¡°I¡¯m really not pretending¡­¡± Luo Feng felt very wronged.¡± I don¡¯t want to score full marks either, but six hours is too uncomfortable. I really want to see Tingya, so I want to finish it quickly and leave. ¡± Luo Feng felt that he was very innocent. He was just an ordinary examination boy who wanted to see his girlfriend. ¡°¡­ Listen to yourself¡­¡± The taciturn Ali couldn¡¯t help but complain. The three of them chuckled and returned to their seats. It could not be helped. Not only did they have to withstand the huge difference in results from Luo Feng, but they were also fed dog food by him. Could the power of love really be so great? Their lives were getting harder and harder¡­ Hao Yingqiang was depressed for a while before he suddenly got over it. If there was a star student in the dormitory, he could also benefit from it. If there was anything he did not understand, he could just look for Luo Feng. ¡°Luo Feng, if your mathematics results are so good, can you let me take a look at your homework next semester?¡± Hao Yingqiang decided to seize the opportunity to prevent Luo Feng from being too busy and having a limited number of slots. Opportunities were always given to positive people. He had to cozy up to the big shot in time! Yang Bo and Ali also pricked up their ears. Why didn¡¯t they think of cozying up to Big Boss! ¡°Of course I have no problem.¡± Luo Feng smiled. Hao Yingqiang did not expect things to go so smoothly and revealed a grateful smile. ¡°But¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he heard the word ¡®but¡¯. Luo Feng looked innocent. ¡°I don¡¯t have to do my Advanced Mathematics homework next semester.¡± ¡°What! Why?¡± Hao Yingqiang¡¯s mouth fell open. There was no need to write math homework. What was the difference between this and a mythical story! ¡°Yes, I did well this time. Professor said that he can waive my math homework, so I don¡¯t have to do it.¡± Luo Feng shrugged. ¡°Really, I really want to help you, but the conditions don¡¯t allow it.¡± They all knew that Luo Feng was very busy and definitely did not know how to do homework that he did not need to do. ¡°Wait, you don¡¯t have Professor Vincent¡¯s class next semester¡­¡± Hao Yingqiang said. ¡°Professor Vincent said that he would let Professor Jing know.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°F*ck, you¡¯re pretending again!¡± Hao Yingqiang was indignant. He had not managed to cozy up to the big shot and had even been shown off to! After the Advanced Mathematics test ended, the revision atmosphere in the dormitory was much more relaxed. Not every teacher had a bad taste like Professor Vincent. Some teachers even gave revision highlights. Seeing that the semester was about to end, Luo Feng went to the office building of Ting Feng¡¯s company for the first time in a long time. ¡°Huh? Boss, you¡¯re actually here?¡± Song Anrong looked at Luo Feng as if he was a precious animal in a zoo. She subconsciously looked out of the window, not knowing if the sun had risen from the west today. Song Anrong had not seen Luo Feng since the last recruitment. As the company was relatively far from Luo Feng¡¯s school, it was understandable that he did not come often. However, it was too much not to come at all. Ai Tingya did not have much time, but she would still communicate with Song Anrong about the company through emails and messages. Luo Feng had never contacted her again, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth. In the month she first arrived, Song Anrong would briefly wonder if she had been deceived during the time when she had free time. How could her boss hand the company over to a new employee so easily? Later, the generous compensation that arrived on time dispelled her thoughts. At that time, Song Anrong felt that Luo Feng might not have realized that she had vacated the office. Many new employees thought that Song Anrong was the top management of the company. They were very surprised to suddenly see Luo Feng today. ¡°No, what does your expression mean?¡± Luo Feng was speechless. Why did you look so surprised? Song Anrong rolled her eyes and said rudely, ¡°Boss, tell me, how many times have you come to the company since I joined? Sometimes, I can¡¯t even find you!¡± Some contracts needed the Chairman to take a look personally. When Song Anrong could not contact Luo Feng she could only look for Ai Tingya. For some reason, Ai Tingya became the communication channel between the two of them. Luo Feng had no intention of changing the current situation. Occasionally, he would express his greetings to Song Anrong through Ai Tingya. Therefore, Song Anrong also knew that Luo Feng was elusive, but he did not put on any airs. Chapter 197 - 197 The Unbearable Memory Of The Annual Meeting 197 The Unbearable Memory Of The Annual Meeting The two of them rarely met, but they were inexplicably familiar with each other. Luo Feng was also more at ease in front of Song Anrong. Luo Feng coughed lightly and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I¡¯m at ease handing the company to you with a capable manager like you? I¡¯m here today to affirm your work ability.¡± He had no choice but to joke in an official tone, hoping to hide his small guilt. Luo Feng worked hard to find his identity as an investor at Gather Sift Takeaway. He was also a hands-off boss of the milk tea shop, and rarely asked about the matters with Ting Feng Company. But he was still very busy. Luo Feng was so busy managing the key matters of the three companies. Even though Ai Tingya contacted Song Anrong more often, she spent most of her time in the shop and had to use her free time to read books. Therefore, Song Anrong was almost the only one in charge of Ting Feng company. She might be a HR supervisor on the surface, but she also held many other positions. For example, the captain of security. When Luo Feng entered just now, he was interrogated by the security guard at the door and called Song Anrong to pick him up. Even though Song Anrong was complaining in front of Luo Feng now, she had managed the entire company in an orderly manner. It could be seen from the employees¡¯ work attitude. What comforted Song Anrong was not only the salary, but also the fact that the current company was only a logistics department. There were not many missions to hand over to unfamiliar companies. They only had to be in charge of raw materials distribution and employee nurturing. Compared to other companies, the missions were not so heavy. Even though Song Anrong was tired, she could manage them alone. The company was running very well under her hard work. Song Anrong was also grateful to Luo Feng, other than trusting him wholeheartedly. Luo Feng extended his help when she was in her most difficult state and generously gave her a high salary. Even though she was complaining, Song Anrong felt very at ease to be able to do more for the company. The tired woman during the interview disappeared without a trace. She was in a good mood and could even joke with Luo Feng. ¡°Speaking of which, Boss, why are you here in the company? You can¡¯t be here to comfort the employees¡­¡± Song Anrong asked the original question so that she could prepare in advance. Luo Feng scratched his head. ¡°I was thinking that since it¡¯s the end of the year and there are so many employees, let¡¯s hold an annual meeting. It¡¯ll be lively.¡± ¡°An annual meeting? Not a bad idea.¡± Song Anrong nodded. After all, the company had just begun to take off this year when the milk tea shop expanded greatly and opened eight new shops in a row. The staffing and logistics transportation were all completed by the company. Previously, everyone was so busy that they did not know about Song Anrong. It was indeed very necessary to hold an annual meeting to reward advanced employees and encourage them to be proactive. ¡°It¡¯s good that you agree,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Go down and unify your opinions and ask everyone what kind of annual meeting they like. It¡¯s the first year, so ask for everyone¡¯s opinion.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Song Anrong ran out excitedly and told her subordinates about this. Unexpectedly, everyone¡¯s reaction to the annual meeting was quite cold. ¡°It¡¯s boring. I don¡¯t want to hold an annual meeting¡­¡± ¡°I resigned because I hated the previous company¡¯s annual meeting. That leader arranged for me to act as a dolphin on the stage¡­¡± ¡°Can I just take a break? I want more time with my boyfriend.¡± Of course, no one would complain in front of Song Anrong. Luo Feng heard this when he was drinking tea in the pantry. He rarely appeared. Other than Song Anrong, not many people in the company recognized him. The employees looked at his age and dressing and thought that he was a new intern or the younger brother of an employee who was here to play. They did not hold back when they complained about the annual meeting in front of him. ¡°That¡¯s not right. I heard from Sister Song that the company¡¯s annual meeting hopes that the employees can rest well and give us rewards!¡± A young lady with bangs said. It was obvious that she had just graduated. ¡°Aiya, Little Ci, you just graduated and haven¡¯t participated in the annual meeting. You know what my old company was doing at the annual meeting?¡± an auntie said. ¡°What?¡± ¡°First would be to hold a meeting! The leader might go off script. When he stands on the podium, he might say that he will only say one or two sentences to look forward to the future and summarize his mistakes. He won¡¯t rest for an hour or two. You don¡¯t want to listen, right? No! If you insist on listening, you have to clap! Sometimes, he will even whip someone to summarize. It¡¯s very terrifying!¡± Little Ci revealed an expression of broken dreams. The annual meeting also had the word ¡°meeting¡±. Wasn¡¯t it just holding the meeting in a different place? The auntie was very experienced in this aspect and continued, ¡°Second, start injecting chicken blood. To put it nicely, the company has a wolf culture. You understand even if I don¡¯t explain, right?¡± After saying that, she looked like she could not bear to look back. To put it nicely, Wolf Culture stimulated the enthusiasm of employees. Actually, it could not give practical benefits and relied on just words. ¡°¡­ Then did your previous company give you any rewards?¡± This was what Little Ci was looking forward to the most. The auntie was so angry that she laughed. ¡°The CEO¡¯s personal handwriting is priced at 365 yuan. Do you want it?¡± ¡°More than 300 yuan. That CEO¡¯s handwriting should be very beautiful!¡± ¡°No! He hasn¡¯t sold a single one at the price he set himself!¡± Then, he would stay until the end of the year. When the benefits were distributed to the employees below¡­ Hearing this, not only was Little Ci disillusioned with the annual meeting, but the corners of Luo Feng¡¯s mouth also twitched. Not only did he not dispel the idea of holding an annual meeting, but he also decided to hold a grand one! An annual meeting filled with benefits to cleanse the employees¡¯ souls! He silently left the pantry and returned to school to plan. Not only should the milk tea company have an annual meeting, Gather Sift Takeaway should also have an annual meeting. Luo Feng thought that since he wanted to do it, he should put the two companies together. He was a major shareholder after all, so he could not favor one over the other. After two nights of hard work, Luo Feng came up with a complete annual meeting plan. On the day of the annual meeting, Luo Feng reserved the banquet hall of a five-star hotel. It was enough to accommodate more than 500 people and more than enough to accommodate the employees of two companies. Little Ci followed Song Anrong into the venue. At a glance, she felt that her field of vision was not enough. The banquet hall was gorgeously decorated and her eyes were shining with golden light. To Little Ci, everything looked very novel. ¡°There are so many people!¡± Little Ci exclaimed. She did not expect their company to have hundreds of people and employees of the milk tea shop that she had only heard of and never seen before. At this moment, they all found a place to sit down. Luo Feng did not miss a single one. When he was planning, he roughly calculated that there were about 100 employees of the logistics company and about 150 employees of the milk tea shop. In addition to the delivery staff, there were about 480 people. It was indeed a very difficult task to hold an annual meeting with so many people. Chapter 198 - 198 Dont Listen To The Bosss Grand Plans, Eat And Drink What You Should Eat! 198 Don¡¯t Listen To The Boss¡¯s Grand Plans, Eat And Drink What You Should Eat! Little Ci found a familiar company and sat at the same table as them. A big brother who was not interested in the annual party hugged his stomach and lay on the table with a pained expression. The employee beside him saw that he was not in a good state and asked with concern, ¡°Big Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I ate too much for lunch¡­¡± ¡°Huh? Did you eat something wrong with your stomach? Do you want to go to the hospital?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that my stomach feels uncomfortable. It¡¯s just that I feel uncomfortable¡­¡± Big Brother smiled bitterly. The employee thought that he had encountered something uncomfortable and was about to ask about it when he heard his big brother say, ¡°If I had known that I would come to such a high-end hotel, I would have eaten less!¡± He said it very sincerely. This big brother had a bad impression of the annual meeting because the previous boss was very stingy. He thought that he would sit here for more than two hours and listen to the usual chicken soup for the soul, so he ate more to avoid starving. Who knew that this place was so high-end? If he had known that his boss was so easy going, he wouldn¡¯t have even eaten lunch. He would have saved his stomach for more. Now, this Big Brother only had one word in his heart¡ª Regret! ¡°Aren¡¯t you not interested in the annual meeting?¡± The big brother glanced at him as if he knew the answer. ¡°Am I annoyed by the annual meeting? I¡¯m annoyed at stingy bosses who hold lousy annual meetings!¡± This honest big brother¡¯s name was Gong Nian. He was personally interviewed by Song Anrong and had been in the company for half a year. He had experienced the busiest months of the milk tea shop¡¯s expansion. Compared to Little Ci, he could indeed be considered a veteran employee of the company. After saying his frustration, he saw Little Ci covering her mouth and snickering. ¡°What are you laughing at? Do you think I¡¯m wrong?¡± Gong Nian asked. ¡°Big Brother Gong said a lot¡­ a lot¡­¡± Little Ci felt that she had been caught red-handed and looked elsewhere in embarrassment. Gong Nian sat up straight and said to Little Ci, ¡°Big Brother will teach you some experience. No matter what, what enters your stomach is yours. You have to be like this everywhere.¡± Little Ci blinked and looked at the snacks on the table. She picked up some and ate them as if she understood. ¡°Aiya, that¡¯s not what I meant¡­ Let me tell you about my previous company,¡± Gong Nian said. ¡°Sure, sure.¡± Not only Little Ci, but the other young employees also surrounded them. Gong Nian looked up, as if recalling a sad past. ¡°When I first went to the company, I was like you. I didn¡¯t know anything and was filled with all kinds of beautiful fantasies about my job. I felt that as long as I worked hard, produced results, and treated the company as my own, I would definitely be able to be promoted and get a raise.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± The employees were very supportive. Little Ci¡¯s current thoughts were indeed like that. She really felt that Ting Feng¡¯s company was not bad. The leader, Song Anrong, was also very kind, and the atmosphere in the company was very good. Even though he had not seen the Boss, this did not stop him from receiving his salary immediately. Little Ci had only officially worked for a few months, but her salary was higher than most of her classmates. She was very satisfied with the current situation and was grateful to work every day. ¡°I¡¯ve worked in that company for three to four years. I work myself to death every day. It¡¯s normal for me to work through the night to make plans. I only became a small team leader¡­ This doesn¡¯t make me the angriest!¡± ¡°What else?¡± ¡°The thing that angered me the most was that not long after, an intern I nurtured was promoted to become my supervisor! He was not very capable and did not pay attention to learning things. At that time, I felt that it was strange. Later, I asked around and found out that he was my boss¡¯s relative.¡± Gong Nian sighed. ¡°During that period of time, I was overdrawn. I kept taking leave to go to the hospital and almost died at my desk.¡± ¡°Ah? Is it that bad?¡± The employees revealed sympathetic expressions. ¡°Later on, I understood the truth. All that chicken soup about how we can stand out if we work hard are all the bosses¡¯ lies. When I took leave to see a doctor, he couldn¡¯t wait to find someone to replace me immediately! Therefore, even if you are working, you must not believe what the boss says in totality. Who knows how long a company can last? The body is the eternal capital. Eat and drink when you need to. You can¡¯t be vague. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The young employees nodded seriously. Little Ci knew that Gong Nian was not exaggerating. He could be said to be confiding in them. ¡°That¡¯s right. What¡¯s yours is what you can eat!¡± Gong Nian glanced at the door. ¡°I wonder when the dishes will be served.¡± While the employees were taking their seats and waiting to eat, Song Anrong looked at the mostly empty dining table and knew that they had to wait a little longer before they could start. At this moment, the hotel manager suddenly ran over and said anxiously, ¡°Where¡¯s your boss?¡± Song Anrong was in charge of maintaining order at the venue, so she came early. Thinking about it now, she had yet to see Luo Feng in the banquet hall, so she said, ¡°Our boss isn¡¯t here yet. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°What is it?¡± The hotel manager said unhappily. ¡°Who did your company hire at the annual meeting?¡± ¡°Who?¡± Song Anrong did not know what he was talking about. ¡°Come with me!¡± The hotel manager led Song Anrong to the entrance of the hotel. There were at least a hundred delivery men standing on the sidewalk at the entrance. The green Helmet looked a little spectacular. Song Anrong knew that Luo Feng was a major shareholder of Gather Sift Takeaway. Ting Feng Corporation and Gather Sift Takeaway were considered brother companies. She just did not expect Luo Feng to invite so many delivery men over. The delivery men of Gather Sift Takeaway had already covered the main city area. There were at least one to two thousand people. It was definitely unrealistic to invite all of them, so they invited representatives. The number of people still exceeded Song Anrong¡¯s imagination. ¡°They¡¯re all employees of our company. Is there a problem?¡± Song Anrong said coldly. It was obvious that the hotel manager had neglected the company¡¯s employees. ¡°What problem?¡± The hotel manager looked ridiculous. ¡°With the level of our hotel, it might not be appropriate for them to enter¡­¡± Song Anrong did not understand what to ask. If Luo Feng stood here, he would understand what it meant. Even in the future where Luo Feng lived, people in takeaway uniforms were not allowed to enter many high-end residential areas and hotels, let alone in the recent years when takeaways were popular. Firstly, they felt that it was not easy to manage. Secondly, they felt that it would lower their status. Song Anrong looked at the helpless deliverymen standing at the door. Their expressions were not very good. Many people were unhappy to be called over for an annual meeting but rejected. ¡°Why don¡¯t we leave?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go¡­ It¡¯s boring¡­¡± ¡°They don¡¯t even let us in. It¡¯s fine if we don¡¯t participate in this annual meeting!¡± They accurately felt the hotel manager¡¯s contempt. They had no choice. If they didn¡¯t leave, would they stay here and suffer? Who could stand it! Song Anrong knew that it definitely wouldn¡¯t do seeing that the delivery men were about to leave. She walked into the crowd and stopped the few people who were about to leave. ¡°Please wait a few more minutes. The boss will be here soon. Since he invited everyone, he definitely doesn¡¯t want everyone to leave just like that!¡± Chapter 199 - 199 Employees Cant Enter Their Annual Meeting? 199 Employees Can¡¯t Enter Their Annual Meeting? The delivery men had never seen Song Anrong before, so they naturally did not trust her. Some of the delivery men saw Song Anrong¡¯s white collar attire and thought that she should be one of the higher-ups, so they wanted to wait and see. Some of the delivery men felt that they were being looked down upon and did not want to stay for a minute longer. Everyone had different opinions. Those who wanted to leave and those who didn¡¯t, squeezed and pushed each other. The entrance of the hotel seemed even more chaotic. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t move. Be careful not to get injured.¡± Song Anrong shouted to maintain order. There were a lot more delivery people on the scene than she¡¯d expected. Her words weren¡¯t audible to everyone. With so many people blocking the entrance of the hotel, not only did it look ugly, it also prevented other guests from entering and exiting. The hotel manager urged impatiently, ¡°There¡¯s an empty space in front. Can you go over there first?¡± The gentle Song Anrong turned around and glared at him. Would they be stuck here if it weren¡¯t for the hotel manager not letting the delivery men in? Just as Song Anrong was at a loss, Luo Feng, Ai Tingya, and Xie Yan looked up at the end of the crowd. They didn¡¯t know why so many people were standing at the door. Song Anrong wanted to grab onto a straw to clutch at and hurriedly waved at Luo Feng. ¡°Boss! Over here! The hotel manager won¡¯t let the employees in!¡± Upon hearing that the boss was here, everyone seemed to have found their backbone. Everyone quietened down and made way for Luo Feng and the others. ¡°What happened?¡± Luo Feng went forward and asked. ¡°The hotel won¡¯t let them in¡­¡± Song Anrong said softly. ¡°They said that they don¡¯t match up to their hotel¡¯s standards¡­¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Luo Feng looked at the hotel manager beside him. ¡°Haha¡­ Hahaha¡­¡± The hotel manager laughed dryly. ¡°Chairman Luo, it¡¯s not that they don¡¯t match up to our standards, but it¡¯s just not appropriate¡­ Haha, don¡¯t you think so¡­¡± Luo Feng frowned and thought to himself, ¡°You¡¯re the big-headed one.¡± However, he was a dignified university student and would not curse casually. He turned to look at the delivery men. Everyone had a complicated expression on their faces. Part of them were angry, and part of them was because they felt inferior and lowered their heads. They also felt that they did not belong to this high-end place. Their faces clearly said that they wanted to leave. The deliverymen all looked at Luo Feng, wanting to see what their boss had to say. Luo Feng said to the deliverymen, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. I made you come here for nothing¡­¡± Upon hearing this, the delivery men thought that Luo Feng was going to chase them away, and their expression darkened. The hotel manager, on the other hand, smiled happily. He did not expect it to be resolved so easily. Luo Feng continued, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to enter this hotel. I¡¯ll find another place immediately. Please wait for two minutes.¡± After saying that, Luo Feng gave Song Anrong a look and said that he would find a new hotel. When the hotel manager heard this, he panicked and stopped Luo Feng. ¡°Chairman Luo! This¡­ if you change places now, it¡¯ll be difficult for us to explain. Look, we blocked out the banquet hall in advance and prepared everything. If you do this, your deposit¡­¡± ¡°Deposit?¡± Luo Feng said indifferently, ¡°You¡¯ve delayed our company¡¯s annual meeting because of your hotel¡¯s mistake. You might even have to compensate me.¡± He was quite unyielding towards the hotel manager. Ai Tingya and Xie Yan comforted the delivery men nicely. Comparing the two, the delivery men felt that their needs were valued and were willing to listen to the arrangements when they were in a good mood. The hotel manager had heard that the legal consultants of Luo Feng¡¯s company were invincible. He, a small manager, had caused the hotel to be sued. He definitely could not bear the outcome. ¡°Have you found it?¡± Luo Feng urged Song Anrong. Song Anrong was very efficient. She nodded and said, ¡°There¡¯s one 500 meters ahead. Shall I book a hall immediately?¡± The hotel manager definitely could not make Luo Feng nod. It was very inauspicious for a businessman to chase his customers out. Moreover, Luo Feng had booked the lobby of their hotel and created a lot of income for the hotel. The higher-ups would definitely blame him for losing such a huge order. He did not want to cause trouble for the hotel, so he quickly changed his words. ¡°No, no, no. I¡¯m really sorry for wasting Chairman Luo¡¯s time. Please come in, everyone!¡± He gave the security guard a look and immediately made way. Luo Feng was still angry. ¡°I¡¯m not the one you should apologize to. You should apologize to my employees!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± The hotel manager bowed and apologized. ¡°I¡¯ll give Chairman Luo a discount today as an apology. What do you think?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± The employees of Gather Sift Takeaway looked at each other. They had been looked down upon just now, but no one took the lead now. The crowd was still frozen at the door. Luo Feng sighed and retracted his sharpness towards the hotel manager. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. I didn¡¯t think it through.¡± At this moment, Hao Yingqiang, who was standing in the crowd, squeezed to the front row and was the first to walk into the hotel. At the same time, he gave Luo Feng a look that said, ¡°I¡¯ll support you.¡± With the person in the lead, even though the other deliverymen hesitated, they still followed the main group in. Song Anrong rushed to the front and led the group to the banquet hall. Xie Yan walked forward and said, ¡°Luckily, your roommate is within them. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know how long we would have to stand there.¡± Luo Feng looked at everyone¡¯s backs. ¡°I was the one who didn¡¯t think it through¡­¡± Xie Yan followed Luo Feng¡¯s gaze. Even though the hotel¡¯s passageway was very spacious, a large group of people advanced at the same time, turning the corridor into a one-way street. He actually did not understand why Luo Feng insisted on letting the delivery man participate in the annual meeting. It was not that he had any prejudice against delivery men, but there were simply too many people. Moreover, many customers were already used to ordering takeout. Today, he directly announced on the webpage that they were taking leave. Along the way, he received many consultation calls asking why customers could not order takeout. The takeout would stop for a day for one annual meeting. This was nothing. It would be very difficult for them to deal with anything as long as there were too many people. If they wanted a reward, it was better to directly transfer it to their account or find fewer advanced representatives. Luo Feng had been very persistent in this aspect. However, Luo Feng realized that he had indeed underestimated this matter. This incident might seem trivial, but it would leave an impact on them. They would probably look at him differently. Luo Feng and the others were the last to enter the banquet hall. As he had expected, the group of deliverymen automatically formed a group and drew a line with the other employees, occupying the last few tables in the banquet hall. There were not enough tables in the hall. Some deliverymen would rather stand than share a table with the other employees. It was very clear. Luo Feng found the hotel manager and opened the partition to the other banquet hall. He booked the other side as well. With a place to sit, the line between the delivery man and the other employees was even more obvious. They were clearly from the same company, but they seemed to be from two different camps. This was the last thing that Luo Feng wanted to see. Chapter 200 - 200 Its the Bosss Responsibility to Not Think It Through! 200 It¡¯s the Boss¡¯s Responsibility to Not Think It Through! There was an inexplicable barrier between the employees. This was what Luo Feng did not want to see the most. Ai Tingya was a little worried when she saw this. Luo Feng stood at the door for a while and suddenly said to Song Anrong, ¡°Go tell the emcee to change the process¡­¡± ¡°How?¡± ¡°Come closer¡­¡± The two of them discussed for a while, and Song Anrong¡¯s eyes widened. After Luo Feng finished speaking, Song Anrong said in surprise, ¡°Boss, have you really decided to do this?¡± ¡°Of course. When have I ever made a joke.¡± Song Anrong didn¡¯t dare to ask anymore seeing that Luo Feng was serious. She turned around and ran out of the banquet hall. At eight o¡¯clock in the evening, the annual meeting started on time. Luo Feng walked onto the stage with the microphone. He was worried that wearing a suit and tie would be too formal and ruin the relaxed atmosphere of the annual meeting, so he still dressed like a student. ¡°Ahem¡­ Good evening, everyone. Thank you for participating in our company¡¯s annual meeting,¡± Luo Feng said. Many employees below the stage did not know who Luo Feng was. They were all curious as to why the emcee was so young tonight. ¡°When will the meal be served?¡± Someone in the crowd poked his head out to jeer, causing everyone to laugh non-stop. Xie Yan¡¯s subordinates who knew Luo Feng did not dare to laugh along. After all, this kind of jeering was very rude to the big boss. If they meet someone with a strange temper, they might be angry. They knew that Luo Feng had a good temper, but they had to give the big boss face. Luo Feng cleared his throat and said, ¡°There might be many people who don¡¯t know me. This isn¡¯t everyone¡¯s problem. This is my problem because I rarely go to the company.¡± The laughter stopped abruptly. Luo Feng officially introduced himself. ¡°My name is Luo Feng. There are two companies in the banquet hall, and I¡¯m the investor and shareholder of both companies. Well¡­ to put it simply, I¡¯m the person who gave the company money.¡± When he said this, the audience fell silent. The employees who were laughing just now covered their mouths and pretended that nothing had happened. Even those who did not know the structure of the company knew that the person who distributed the money was the biggest. The young man on stage was the big boss! At this moment, Luo Feng¡¯s expression became serious. ¡°Perhaps someone knows that when we first entered, something unpleasant happened. Our company¡¯s delivery men were blocked at the door and were not allowed to enter¡­¡± The already serious atmosphere below the stage became heavier. No one expected Luo Feng to bring this up at the beginning. For a moment, the banquet hall became even quieter. Everyone looked at the boss on stage, not knowing what he meant. The delivery men¡¯s expressions were also very complicated. In fact, when they first received the company¡¯s notice to hold the annual meeting, they were very excited. The entry requirement for take-out was low after all. Many take-out employees used to do odd jobs and did not even belong to a company, let alone know what the annual meeting was. Five-star hotels were also very unfamiliar to them. They walked to the door, full of anticipation, only to be turned away. It made them understand that the people in the five-star hotel looked down on them and thought they didn¡¯t deserve it. Especially when they walked into the banquet hall, they saw that there were already a few tables of people sitting inside. These people were the legendary technical talents who worked in the office and did not need to run around the city in the wind and sun. They did mental work that was completely opposite to the hard physical work of a delivery man. Brain labor sounded really high-class. These people who did high-level jobs could enter and exit five-star hotels at will, but not them. To put it nicely, they were from the same company, which made people feel even worse. Many of the delivery men¡¯s excitement was completely exhausted at the entrance. Many people felt that they shouldn¡¯t have come. Some even began to doubt themselves. Was it because the job of a deliveryman wasn¡¯t presentable? At this moment, the hotel manager was also in the banquet hall. He had caused a small commotion at the door and neglected his esteemed guest. It was only right for him to serve them personally. Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s words, he could not help but look a little embarrassed. He turned around and pretended not to know anything. The hotel manager thought that Luo Feng was trying to use this as an excuse to scold him and vent his anger on the delivery men to win people¡¯s hearts based on his experience. He took a deep breath and braced himself for the scolding. In the service industry, it was run of the mill to be scolded by their superiors and customers. In any case, they would not lose anything. As long as they could deal with the situation today and make Luo Feng obediently fork out the money, they could scold him for all he cared. The hotel manager revealed an official apologetic expression and was prepared to cooperate with Luo Feng. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng¡¯s next words stunned everyone. ¡°It¡¯s also my fault that such a thing happened!¡± Luo Feng raised the microphone and said, ¡°I¡¯ve said before that every deliveryman is an employee of our company. Since they are, they shouldn¡¯t be treated unfairly!¡± Luo Feng said very seriously, ¡°Previously, I discussed with your General Manager Xie in private about the foundation of Gather Sift Takeaway. Is it technology, business, or market? General Manager Xie couldn¡¯t give me an accurate answer.¡± Xie Yan rubbed his nose and thought to himself, ¡®When did you ever discuss this with me?¡¯ ¡°Now, I can tell you very responsibly that in my heart, that it is you, the employees of our company! You are the foundation of the company and the most important wealth of our company!¡± ¡°Therefore, you shouldn¡¯t be wronged! It¡¯s my negligence to let you suffer!¡± Perhaps it was a little rhetorical, but these were all Luo Feng¡¯s heartfelt words. The food delivery industry was ultimately a labor-intensive industry. As Gather Sift Takeaway developed, the company would collaborate with more and more merchants and expand its market. However, delivery men were a bridge to collaborate! From the moment the delivery project took off, Luo Feng had been constantly increasing his investment in the delivery men. There were very few take-out companies that bought insurance for take-out workers even in his previous life. They worked hard, but they did not even have the most basic protection. Luo Feng increased the protection of his employees. On one hand, it was to make money, and on the other hand, it was for his selfishness. He just couldn¡¯t bear to see those who worked hard not get the rewards they deserved! Luo Feng looked around. The delivery men below the stage had different expressions. Some people were slightly moved by his words. They were still a little touched that their boss acknowledged their hard work after all. However, most of them were still indifferent. Most of these deliverymen had experienced life¡¯s beatings. Real life was a real problem of money. Anyone could say whatever they wanted, but were there any improvements in their lives. The answer was no. Gong Nian propped his chin on his hand and looked at Luo Feng on the stage. He said to Little Ci beside him, ¡°Look what I said. Boss¡¯s flowery words are different, but the essence of the painting won¡¯t change.¡± Little Ci nodded. She somewhat understood the reason for everyone¡¯s coldness. At this moment, Luo Feng said, ¡°I know that the power of words is too weak, so I changed the annual meeting process to give everyone something more practical!¡± Chapter 201 - 201 Get Back Your Dignity And Give Everyone Practical Rewards! 201 Get Back Your Dignity And Give Everyone Practical Rewards! Luo Feng waved his hand behind him, and a waiter pushed a small cart over. The small cart was covered with a festive red cloth, and below it was a small mountain. ¡°I¡¯ve decided that the first job of our annual meeting is to reward our delivery men!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng suddenly pulled off the red cloth. ¡°Wow!¡± The employees exclaimed. Not only the delivery men, even the brain workers sitting in the office widened their eyes and craned their necks to look at the small mountain of cash on the small car. ¡°So much money!¡± The employees kept exclaiming. They had never seen so much cash before! Luo Feng had asked someone to bring it up from the bank. It was still warm from the money detector. Song Anrong leaned against the door and panted. The large amount of cash almost crushed her small shoulders. Moreover, her heart was beating like a drum with so much money. Gong Nian¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and Little Ci was dumbfounded. She tilted her head in a daze and muttered, ¡°Brother Gong, was your boss also so direct at your previous annual meeting?¡± ¡°¡­The ones I used to attend¡­ Might not be called an annual meeting¡­¡± Gong Nian heard his voice trembling. The hotel¡¯s food delivery cart was quite big. The pyramid of cash on it was even higher than Luo Feng¡¯s. It was like a champagne tower, and it emitted an incomparable fragrance! What Luo Feng said about being practical was true to his words! In the silent banquet hall, the appearance of cash was like a drop of water in a pot of hot oil. The scene instantly boiled! ¡°I prepared this money to reward our employees. Everyone will get a share, especially our outstanding employees!¡± Luo Feng patted the cash tower and revealed a very simple smile. Gong Nian was almost drooling as he muttered to himself, ¡°Do you think¡­ I can get more rewards if I transfer to delivering food now?¡± ¡°Brother Gong, you don¡¯t have to be so direct¡­¡± Little Ci was speechless. This was too realistic. On the stage, Luo Feng took out a name list. ¡°Now, those whose names I¡¯ve called, please come up and receive your prize money. First, Hao Yingqiang!¡± Hearing this name, Hao Yingqiang¡¯s facial features immediately lifted. He himself did not expect that the first name would be him. He ran up the stage eagerly. He had only come to the meeting after delivering food. He glanced at Luo Feng and then looked at the money behind him with shining eyes. Luo Feng said, ¡°I believe everyone has heard of Hao Yingqiang¡¯s name. Some time ago, he acted bravely and raised our company¡¯s image. Here, we will give him a bonus of 20,000 yuan!¡± He pulled out two neat bundles of money and handed them to Hao Yingqiang with both hands. Easy and direct. Hao Yingqiang held the two heavy stacks of money, his hands trembling with excitement. The faces of the people below the stage were filled with envy. Many of them had heard that the CEO of the company had introduced some kind of silence in the company to encourage people to act bravely. However, most of them felt that it had nothing to do with them and did not care. They were very busy earning money every day, and it was very troublesome after all. But everyone was eager to contribute to society now! They couldn¡¯t wait to rush out and do something brave! ¡°I hope everyone can follow Hao Yingqiang¡¯s example and create a new image for the company.¡± Luo Feng gave Hao Yingqiang a thumbs up. Hao Yingqiang was so excited that his entire body was boiling. Not only had he received a reward, but he had never been so glorious! Even if he got into Oxford, he had only received the blessings of his relatives. This was the first time he had attracted the attention of strangers! Luo Feng sent the happy Hao Yingqiang down and continued the commendation. ¡°Second place, Cheng Zheng, this is the employee who delivers the most food every day. The reward is 20,000 yuan!¡± ¡°The third one¡­¡± Luo Feng read out the names one after another, as well as their outstanding performance at work. Everyone received 10,000 yuan as a reward, and more than 100 employees were rewarded. After more than an hour, Luo Feng wiped his sweat and said, ¡°The ones who just read are all our outstanding employees. As for the other deliverymen, we also have a year-end bonus of 5,000 yuan. Due to time constraints, we won¡¯t distribute them here one by one. We¡¯ll directly transfer them to your salary cards.¡± The delivery men¡¯s eyes lit up. Previously, they were still a little disdainful of their profession. They came and went in the wind and rain after all. They felt that it was not as high-class as sitting in the office. But it was different now! Good and bad professions? Who cares? The more you earn, the harder your back will be. ¡°Thank you, boss!¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯re the best!¡± Looking at the excited delivery men below the stage, Luo Feng could not help but smile. ¡°Speaking of which, I¡¯ve already taken out money belonging to my wife. I still have to thank my wife for her support.¡± Luo Feng smiled at Ai Tingya, who was sitting below the stage. The delivery men immediately received the signal. They clapped at Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Thank you, Lady Boss, for your generosity!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the most beautiful lady boss I¡¯ve ever seen. You¡¯re also open and bright.¡± ¡°We will definitely do our best and not embarrass the company!¡± The people on and off the stage were laughing. Their laughter washed away the serious atmosphere and made Ai Tingya¡¯s face turn red. She did not expect Luo Feng to suddenly point at her and was not prepared at all. Ai Tingya waffled her nose at Luo Feng on the stage and smiled. She had only just seen him distribute money. Luo Feng looked at her shy expression and was suddenly very touched. The way he was distributing the money would infuriate even his parents if they were here. However, Ai Tingya never denied Luo Feng¡¯s decision. It was the same this time. Ai Tingya was thrifty but that thriftiness was only aimed at herself. She wouldn¡¯t even blink when it was time to spend money. She had been the lady boss for a long time but she was still the girl from the orphanage who did not forget her original intention when it came to giving benefits. The applause gradually subsided. When everyone saw that Luo Feng was still standing on the stage, they knew that he still had something to say. ¡°Why did I give everyone money today? It is because I hope everyone can feel good about this job.¡± Luo Feng changed the topic. ¡°I know that we often receive strange gazes when we deliver food. This will make people feel that this isn¡¯t a proper job.¡± ¡°But I want to ask, what do you think dignity means?¡± The people below looked at Luo Feng silently. They themselves did not know what dignity was, but they were often despised by others. They had never thought of the specific reason. Luo Feng said firmly, ¡°I know that most of the delivery men here need to support their families. It¡¯s the most difficult age for you. I think the most dignified thing for an ordinary person is to support a family. Dignity is earning proper money to bring home!¡± These words could be said to have directly pierced the hearts of many people. Who wouldn¡¯t want to do a decent job? However, reality was more realistic than they had imagined. Many people were already suffocated by the burden of life. It was the job of a delivery man that pulled them up. Thank you for reading on https://www.novelhall.com Chapter 202 - 202 So Much Year-End Bonus, Are You Still Hiring? 202 So Much Year-End Bonus, Are You Still Hiring? ¡°If you encounter anyone who looks down on us delivery men in the future, throw your salary card in his face and use your year-end bonus to give him a big red packet!¡± Luo Feng joked. The deliverymen smiled knowingly and were even a little eager to try. After all, in this era, families who could earn 20,000 yuan a year were considered middle-class. Now that the delivery men had the confidence and a real boss, what was there to be afraid of? Luo Feng¡¯s year-end bonus was very important no matter where it was placed! The hotel manager stood at the side. Luo Feng¡¯s words were like an invisible slap that was about to make his face swell. This was because Luo Feng did not name anyone, but when it came to people who looked down on delivery men, everyone in the banquet hall would look down on them. The other waiters also looked at the hotel manager with disdain. ¡°It turns out that our manager has such poor taste. He almost angered the esteemed guest away.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I can earn any money here. I have no future and no guarantees. I might as well deliver food!¡± ¡°Great minds think alike. I¡¯ll resign after this match.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go together!¡± The waiters didn¡¯t care about the hotel manager¡¯s hearing them at all. They were loudly plotting to deliver food. The hotel waiter¡¯s job was the same as the delivery men after all. They were all hard labor. The boss was stingy and didn¡¯t want to buy insurance, and there was no way to advance. The waiter would always be the waiter. Even though the delivery man could not be promoted much, they could not stop the boss from being good. He had a strong family background and bought all kinds of insurance. His salary was high, and he could get his year-end bonus directly. After comparing the two sides, even a fool would know which to choose. These words made the hotel manager fall into deep thought. He counted with his fingers and realized that his year-end bonus did not seem to reach 20,000 yuan¡­ He looked up at Luo Feng and the car beside him. He did not know how many such generous and pragmatic bosses he would meet in his life. The hotel manager thought about it and decided that he should resign too. He wondered if Chairman Luo would be calculative about accepting him¡­ Luo Feng stood on the stage and looked at the people below with starry eyes. They looked at him as if they were looking at the God of Fortune. They pressed their palms together and prayed piously. Luo Feng pursed his lips and smiled without saying anything. It wasn¡¯t that he wanted to deliberately slow down the pace, but he couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh. Of course, he was not giving money to his employees on a whim today. He was not a noble person who treated money as dirt. His goal was only to farm a wave of fast money at the end of the year so that he could spend the New Year comfortably! Previously, he had experimented at the milk tea shop. The dividends for employees would be included in the company¡¯s cost, and the dividends would be returned according to the ratio. Like now. Luo Feng gave the delivery staff a year-end bonus of almost four million yuan. This was because he was standing on stage as a shareholder of the company. According to the shareholding ratio, this time, it was five times the interest. In other words, just the company¡¯s delivery men had created a profit of 20 million yuan for Luo Feng. That was why he was so high-profile. It also promoted the company¡¯s reputation. If possible, Luo Feng really wanted to distribute money to his employees every day. Only then would his small treasury be filled more and more. In twelve months, 365 days in a year, Luo Feng would no longer have to think of all kinds of reasons to distribute money to Ai Tingya. It was a pity that he couldn¡¯t. What kind of boss would treat money like running water for no reason? That was ridiculous. Therefore, they could only be more high-profile at the annual gala and stir up the atmosphere. The employees would not think about anything unreasonable. It was not only the employees below. Perhaps even Luo Feng himself did not expect the feedback effect of throwing money to be so good. The atmosphere was even livelier than the New Year. After Luo Feng distributed the year-end bonus to the delivery men, it was the employees of Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop¡¯s turn. They were all first-line employees and were the group that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya valued the most. Moreover, the employees of the milk tea shop were working very hard. Their business was already very good to begin with. Coupled with the rapid expansion in the past six months, in order to compete with the market, they kept launching promotional activities. There were often people who lacked manpower. However, these employees worked hard to complete the service very well. Now, many customers came to Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop not only because the taste was outstanding and the price was moderate, but also because Good Me¡¯s waiters were also a unique and thoughtful service. It could be said that the first-line employees played a huge role in the development of Good Me¡¯s milk tea! Luo Feng walked down the stage and held the confused Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. The two of them returned to the stage. Luo Feng said, ¡°This award will be given by our lady boss. Everyone, please welcome her with your warmest round of applause!¡± Clap¡ª A thunderous applause came from below the stage. Ai Tingya had no choice but to decline. A second car was pushed up, and there was still a pile of cash on it. Luo Feng handed Ai Tingya a list of names and walked to the edge of the stage. Holding the microphone, Ai Tingya was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but her face remained unmoved. ¡°The person whose name I¡¯ve called, please come on stage. The first one is Xiao Fei!¡± ¡°As the store manager, not only did Xiaofei insist on working in the front-line, she had also nurtured many talents for our milk tea shop! The reward now is 50,000 yuan!¡± Xiao Fei stood up timidly and covered her face, unable to believe that she was the first person to go on stage! She ran up happily and did not look at the money. Instead, she hugged Ai Tingya¡¯s neck. Actually, to the current Xiaofei, 50,000 yuan was not a lot. Her monthly income far exceeded this. After working in a milk tea shop for a year and a half, from Crown City to school, the money Xiaofei had saved could already be considered a little rich. The main thing was glory! When she was in the orphanage in the past, no one had ever been so sure of her! ¡°Thank you, Tingya!¡± Xiao Fei reluctantly let go of Ai Tingya and took the money from her. Her eyes could not help but turn red. After sending Xiao Fei off, Ai Tingya read out the next name. She handed stacks of thick cash to the employees and looked at their happy smiles. Ai Tingya finally understood why Luo Feng had asked her to give out the year-end bonus. Many of the people on stage were children from the original orphanage. The smiles on their faces never stopped. Ordinary people¡¯s hard work had paid off. This was what Ai Tingya had always been pursuing. Her eyes could not help but tear up as she looked at Luo Feng. Luo Feng thought that Ai Tingya was unhappy, so he quickly walked to her side and asked, ¡°Are you tired?¡± ¡°No.¡± Ai Tingya shook her head and looked up at Luo Feng¡¯s surprised face. ¡°I just want to thank you.¡± Thank you for remembering my original dream. Thank you for helping me realize it. ¡°Ah¡­ Yes.¡± Luo Feng scratched his head. He did not understand the meaning in Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes, but he could tell that she was happy. This had always been Luo Feng¡¯s pursuit. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you to speed up, Lady Boss. Otherwise, it would run too late into the night,¡± Luo Feng joked. There were still so many people waiting expectantly after all. Chapter 203 - 203 Loyalty Multiplies! I Want to Sacrifice Myself For The Company! 203 Loyalty Multiplies! I Want to Sacrifice Myself For The Company! The money piled up on the cart was quickly gone. It all turned into smiles and transferred to the faces of the employees. Almost every one of them present had received their year-end bonus. They were either counting the cash or looking at their balances on their phones. Luo Feng treated the employees of the two companies equally. The principle of his bonus was that the front-line employees were superior to the logistics employees. The work of the front-line employees was more tiring, and the daily work content was more boring than the logistics employees after all. However, it was only relative. The year-end bonus of the logistics employees was a little less than that of the front-line employees, but it was on a completely different level compared to other companies. This was because Luo Feng¡¯s other goal in distributing money was to obtain profits. Naturally, he would treat the employees below well. Gong Nian held the thick stack of red notes in his hand and kept wiping his saliva with his thumb. He counted them happily over and over again. Little Ci, who was at the side, was panicking. She was too embarrassed to count the money in front of outsiders. This was the first time she had so much cash in her hands. She was always afraid of being targeted. Would she be robbed the moment she stepped out of the door? Little Ci was afraid and even more afraid to count. Looking at Gong Nian again, Little Ci looked at him curiously. ¡°Brother Gong, how many did you get?¡± Gong Nian was in a good mood and did not hide anything. ¡°13,000 yuan!¡± He smiled so widely that even the smell from the bills was fragrant. ¡°More than me.¡± Little Ci was a little envious. Not only was Gong Nian richer than her by 3,000 yuan, but he was also fearless and could be boldly happy. Gong Nian stopped counting the money and comforted her. ¡°I¡¯m a senior and came to the company earlier than you after all.¡± Of course, Little Ci understood this principle. She nodded to express her determination. After seeing her boss¡¯ generosity, she would definitely be more active in the next year¡¯s work! The young lady, who had just entered the workplace, suddenly thought of a question. ¡°Speaking of which, Brother Gong¡­ If you jump ship in the future, will you still have such a high year-end bonus?¡± Gong Nian immediately patted his chest and asked, ¡°Jump ship? Who said I¡¯m going to jump ship?¡± ¡°But¡­ didn¡¯t you just say¡­ that we should eat and drink and not take what the bosses promise seriously¡­¡± Little Ci said honestly. ¡°You must have heard wrongly!¡± Gong Nianyi said sternly. ¡°I¡¯m saying that I have to eat and drink to have the stamina and spirit to devote my youth and value to the company! I¡¯m now a serving member of the company while I¡¯m alive and will be a serving ghost of the company in death. I have to carve the company¡¯s name on the Tombstone even if I have to be buried in a grave!¡± ¡°As expected of Brother Gong.¡± Little Ci silently gave him a thumbs up. The others at the same table nodded in agreement with Gong Nian¡¯s words. They also expressed that this was their future plan. Little Ci looked at everyone in a daze. She always thought that the atmosphere at the table seemed to be more harmonious than before. However, there was always a hint of awkwardness in everyone¡¯s laughter. Some people looked at Gong Nian intentionally or unintentionally, and then their gazes separated. Gong Nian touched his nose and said embarrassedly, ¡°Just pretend you didn¡¯t hear what I said just now.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because Lady Luck favors the silly.¡± Gong Nian looked at Little Ci with clear stupidity in his eyes. ¡°I wanted to jump ship because I didn¡¯t meet a good boss. But look at our Chairman Luo. He¡¯s almost like a living Bodhisattva. Why would I still want to jump ship?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Little Ci nodded as if she understood. She reached out and touched the year-end bonus in her bag. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya finished speaking on the stage as the two of them chatted. They told everyone to eat and drink well in one sentence. If it wasn¡¯t enough, they would add more. Then, the two of them quickly got off the stage and sat in their seats. The dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good were served one after another. The employees were happy and their appetites increased. The employees who had attended the annual meeting in the past were already prepared to listen to their boss¡¯s steroids. After all, giving chicken soup was also one of their boss¡¯s necessary skills. They thought that it was reasonable to support their boss after receiving a generous year-end bonus. Unexpectedly, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s speech had already ended before they could start clapping. The two of them were also hungry. Moving the brick-like money around was similar to working part-time at a construction site. They had not eaten before coming here, so the two of them wanted to eat more than anyone else at the scene. While eating, Luo Feng took the time to look at his phone. In the entire annual meeting, other than the rental of the venue and the money for the banquet, Luo Feng had accumulated more than 10 million yuan. According to the ratio of the two companies, he had obtained a total of more than 50 million yuan! It was more than what the two companies had earned in a year! Money was only secondary. The main reason was that Luo Feng had obtained the loyalty of his employees through this year-end bonus. Just the fact that Luo Feng stood up to take a tissue while eating would attract the attention of the entire venue. That worshipful gaze always gave Luo Feng the illusion that if he brought everyone to commit murder and arson now, they would sincerely follow him. For example, on the second day after the annual meeting, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya went to the milk tea shop to help as usual. The enthusiasm of the employees in the shop was like a fire. Especially when Luo Feng¡¯s casual gaze landed on someone, that person was ready to sacrifice his life. Even Xiao Fei¡¯s admiration for Luo Feng increased. Ai Tingya said, ¡°Now that I¡¯m in the shop, my words are really not as useful as yours.¡± Most of the employees in the milk tea shop near the school were still children from the orphanage. Originally, they were closer to Ai Tingya, but recently, they had all learned from Xiao Fei and changed sides with Luo Feng. Ai Tingya was a little jealous. ¡°They listen to me. I listen to my wife. That means everyone listens to you!¡± Luo Feng said sweetly. Ai Tingya craned her neck and looked around. ¡°Who¡¯s your wife? She¡¯s here too?¡± Luo Feng grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. There was a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg on it, which almost blinded him. Ai Tingya had been wearing it ever since the proposal. ¡°Whoever wears my ring is my wife.¡± ¡°Then you can take it back,¡± Ai Tingya said coquettishly. The boss and the lady boss flirted in the shop. The employees were used to it and pretended not to see it. Perhaps the year-end bonus included compensation for eating dog food by mistake. At this moment, Xiao Fei ran back from outside and cheered like a free sparrow. ¡°Luo Feng! Boss! Something big has happened!¡± She ran to the two of them with her hands and feet dancing. Then, she realized that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were looking at each other affectionately. She came at a very bad time. Xiao Fei pretended that nothing had happened. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng grabbed Xiao Fei¡¯s collar and pulled her back like a chick. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal?¡± Xiao Fei glanced at Ai Tingya apologetically and said with a smile, ¡°That milk tea shop that always opposes us. I heard that it can¡¯t continue and is going to close down!¡± ¡°Are you talking about Senior Yan¡¯s shop?¡± Luo Feng had almost forgotten about this. The last time he interacted with Yan Kaize, Luo Feng had gotten someone to send him milk tea. ¡®Why is the shop closing so soon?¡¯ Chapter 204 - 204 Senior Yans Visit, Three Causes of Failure 204 Senior Yan¡¯s Visit, Three Causes of Failure The development of Good Me Milk Tea Shop was so smooth that Luo Feng had almost forgotten that there was a rival milk tea shop on the street. He felt that he shouldn¡¯t have done this. It was because he had a strong opponent like Yan Kaize, Ai Tingya felt a sense of danger and did not have any objections to Luo Feng¡¯s various large investments. Yan Kaize played a huge role in Luo Feng¡¯s efforts to earn back the profits. It was precisely because of Yan Kaize that Luo Feng became richer and richer. This senior was simply Luo Feng¡¯s benefactor and should not be forgotten. Luo Feng reflected on himself and asked, ¡°Do you know what happened?¡± Xiao Fei said excitedly, ¡°Hehe, I heard from their employees that the two bosses seem to have quarreled and want to break up!¡± She didn¡¯t mind watching the commotion. There was even a hint of anticipation in her tone. This was because she knew that Yan Kaize¡¯s milk tea shop was Good Me¡¯s biggest competitor. If it closed, it would only be beneficial to them. Xiao Fei did not hide it at all. Luo Feng patted her head and said, ¡°Alright, restrain yourself.¡± While he didn¡¯t care personally, there were many employees in the shop who had jumped ship from Yan Kaize¡¯s side. They were also secretly in contact with their friends over there. It was hard to say if they were touched by their old boss, but it would definitely affect their friends over there. Luo Feng had to worry about their feelings. Xiao Fei rubbed her forehead and said softly, ¡°Maybe they¡¯re going bankrupt.¡± She covered the corners of her mouth that was about to curl up uncontrollably and could not hide her gloating. Luo Feng pressed her little head and said, ¡°Keep a low profile. Your facial features are about to shift from smiling. Are you that happy?¡± If Xiao Fei walked around Yan Kaize with her current expression, it was normal for her to be beaten up. She tried her best to control herself and thought about all the sad things she had been through since she was young, but she still couldn¡¯t suppress her happiness. Xiao Fei snorted. ¡°Of course I¡¯m happy! Aren¡¯t you happy that you won against your opponent?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so-so.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s reaction was very calm. ¡°We were far ahead from the beginning after all. I know that.¡± Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s thoughts, Xiao Fei narrowed her eyes. Only then did she know that in terms of acting cool, her boss was the one who was unparalleled! She was indeed too naive! Luo Feng was in a dilemma. He even felt a little reluctant. If Yan Kaize¡¯s milk tea shop collapsed, there would be no one nearby who could threaten Good Me. Ai Tingya¡¯s sense of danger would also be relieved. If Luo Feng wanted to do something big, he would have to think of a reason to boil his brain dry. Just thinking about it gave him a headache. If Yan Kaize was the only person on this street who did not want the milk tea shop to close, then Luo Feng was the second person who hoped that they could continue operating forever. He was more sincere than gold. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Luo Feng sighed, not happy at all. ¡°Boss, stop faking.¡± Xiao Fei saw that he was addicted to pretending and could not stand it anymore. ¡°You have to laugh when you¡¯re happy, or you¡¯ll suffer internal injuries.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to be happy about.¡± Luo Feng looked at the innocent little girl. ¡°Think about it, this matter is like a race. We drive a car, and the other party rides a bicycle. We¡¯ll definitely win, right, but the other party suddenly fell. Isn¡¯t the feeling of winning not so pure?¡± Xiao Fei was dumbfounded. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t you think your words are asking for a beating?¡± It looked like Luo Feng was sympathizing with his opponent, but in fact, his words were the most insulting. If that Senior Yan was standing here and heard these words, he might vomit blood from anger. Luo Feng felt that he was analyzing the situation objectively, but he realized that Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei were staring behind him. ¡°What are you two looking at? Do you think I¡¯m wrong? Don¡¯t you know that Senior Yan lost because he didn¡¯t see the situation clearly?¡± Ai Tingya frowned and kept winking at Luo Feng, wishing she could go up and cover his mouth. Luo Feng pinched Ai Tingya¡¯s face and said, ¡°You might also be very cute like this but it¡¯s working hours now. I want to establish a proper image for my employees.¡± Ai Tingya held her forehead. You¡¯re always in the shop, flirting with others without caring about their lives, and you still have the cheek to pretend to be a serious person. Aren¡¯t you usually doing whatever you want? Why are you pretending now?! Seeing their speechless expressions, Luo Feng felt that it was time to analyze the situation for them. ¡°I don¡¯t deny Senior Yan¡¯s strength. After all, he was able to last so long while at a disadvantage and even expand the shop. He¡¯s indeed very powerful and outstanding!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± A familiar voice sounded from behind Luo Feng. Luo Feng paused for a moment and turned around stiffly. He said in surprise, ¡°Senior Yan, when did you guys arrive?¡± ¡°It¡¯s neither early nor late. I happened to hear you say that I didn¡¯t see the situation clearly.¡± Yan Kaize snorted and glared at Luo Feng with a dark face. He looked like he was about to turn around and leave. However, he still held it in. Yan Kaize asked with a dark expression, ¡°Tell me, what did I not see clearly?¡± Luo Feng looked elsewhere awkwardly and said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡­ I was just spouting nonsense. Senior, don¡¯t take it seriously.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Yan Kaize snorted and simply found a place to sit down. His two black glasses stared straight at Luo Feng, as if he wouldn¡¯t leave until he said so. Luo Feng did not have the habit of being a teacher, but seeing Yan Kaize¡¯s determination, he said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll just say a few words. Don¡¯t take it to heart if I¡¯m wrong.¡± ¡°Speak!¡± Yan Kaize was a little unconvinced. Luo Feng sat opposite Yan Kaize and cleared his throat. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I spoke too much at the annual meeting yesterday. Then I¡¯ll start. First, Senior, you haven¡¯t done enough homework on the milk tea industry. When Tingya and I were in our hometown, we had already opened two shops. From the raw materials to the location of the shops, we did everything ourselves.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yan Kaize remained silent. He had more than one milk tea shop under him. How could he run around personally? ¡°I¡¯m just an investor, so I handed the milk tea shop to someone to handle,¡± Yan Kaize retorted. Luo Feng had no intention of fighting for right and wrong. He continued, ¡°Secondly, our milk tea shop has the initiative. You don¡¯t have any new ideas, so you replicated our model¡­¡± He could be considered polite. Yan Kaize¡¯s milk tea shop could be said to be a counterfeit. Yan Kaize didn¡¯t comment. He didn¡¯t think that there was anything wrong with his behavior at all. The business world was like a battlefield after all. Which opponent would talk about morals? Only those who could survive and fight to the end would be the winner. However, he also noticed the problem Luo Feng mentioned in the later stages of the milk tea shop. They had copied the shape of the milk tea shop, but they could not copy the essence of the milk tea shop. Even when business was at its peak, it was still inferior to Luo Feng¡¯s side. There was no other reason, just that they were plagiarists. Seeing that Yan Kaize had nothing to say, Luo Feng said, ¡°The third point is people.¡± ¡°People?¡± Chapter 205 - 205 New News, The Delivery Opponent Is Here! 205 New News, The Delivery Opponent Is Here! ¡°That¡¯s right, people.¡± Luo Feng stopped smiling. ¡°In the management of the milk tea shop, Tingya and I are equivalent to you and Boss Yuan of your shop. Tingya takes on the role of Boss Yuan.¡± Yan Kaize seemed to understand what Luo Feng wanted to say. Luo Feng said, ¡°Tingya and I trust each other completely. We support each other in our decisions. I dare say that even if either of us opened our mouths today and said that we would close all the shops immediately, the other party would agree unconditionally. We might have doubts, but we won¡¯t be disloyal. I don¡¯t think you and your partner can do this.¡± Ai Tingya stood at the side and smiled as she listened. She looked at the high-spirited Luo Feng with love in her eyes. Yan Kaize was speechless. He did not want to admit that Luo Feng was right¡­ Everyone said that it was best for only one couple to have the final say in running a couple¡¯s shop. It was better not to have both of them standing in the shop. The other one could help, but he definitely could not make the decision. That was because everyone had their own independent thoughts. If the higher-ups disagreed, it would be quite troublesome for the people below to carry it out. Their lives and jobs were not clear, and it was easy to intensify conflicts. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s models were quite rare. Even Yan Kaize and his wife might not be able to maintain a tacit understanding, let alone a partner who joined them halfway. Yan Kaize felt a headache coming on when he thought of Boss Yuan¡¯s burly figure and the way he had puffed up his beard and glared at him when he talked about the shop. ¡°Indeed.¡± Yan Kaize agreed with Luo Feng. ¡°It¡¯s really important for partners to be united. Have you heard that I fell out with him?¡± Xiao Fei nodded. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya shook their heads. The three of them looked at each other, then Xiao Fei shook her head. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya nodded. ¡°Can we have some tacit understanding?¡± Luo Feng was speechless. It would be too embarrassing if Yan Kaize caught him gossiping about his opponent. Xiao Fei felt bitter in her heart. ¡°Of course you husband and wife have a tacit understanding. I¡¯d better go and work.¡± Yan Kaize didn¡¯t think that there was anything to hide. He said directly, ¡°It¡¯s common for partners¡¯ ideals to be incompatible. I want to take the high-end route, Boss Yuan on the other hand¡­ sigh¡­¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t agree?¡± Luo Feng and the others were also taking the high-end route. Yan Kaize planned to compete with Good Me. ¡°He agreed at first,¡± Yan Kaize said bitterly. ¡°But you also know that the high-end route burns a lot of money. My side is still alright, but Boss Yuan can¡¯t take it anymore and wants to stop.¡± Yan Kaize did not deny that this was a huge mistake on his part. At first, he wanted to cooperate with the other party because he thought that the other party had experience and could be considered half an expert in the industry. However, Yan Kaize had neglected Boss Yuan¡¯s family background and could not afford to burn money. Perhaps it was just as Luo Feng had said, the fuse for the disbandment had been buried from the beginning. At the thought of this, Yan Kaize looked at Luo Feng bitterly. ¡°Our side wouldn¡¯t be getting weaker and weaker if not for the price war with you.¡± If Yan Kaize wanted to catch up and defeat Luo Feng, who had seized the initiative, he could only make an issue of something based on the price. Until the eve of closing, their price remained low. Coupled with the crazy expansion, Boss Yuan¡¯s blood pressure soared. Yan Kaize almost couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Why are you looking at me? You were the ones who lowered the price first.¡± Luo Feng expressed that he would not take the blame. ¡°You! I¡­¡± Yan Kaize was almost angered to death by Luo Feng. Now that he thought about it carefully, Yan Kaize felt that his worst judgment was regarding Luo Feng¡¯s finances. He really did not expect Luo Feng to be so rich! If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have fought the price war. The past was unbearable to look back on. Yan Kaize couldn¡¯t help but cover his face in pain. He couldn¡¯t express his sadness even with a few sighs. Seeing him like this, Luo Feng actually felt a little sympathetic. He didn¡¯t mean to bully his senior. As the old saying went, business was like a battlefield. If he didn¡¯t kill the enemy, he would be the one killed! ¡°Senior, don¡¯t be sad. Victory and defeat are common in war.¡± Ai Tingya also sympathized with Yan Kaize. ¡°Forget it¡­ forget it¡­¡± Yan Kaize calmed himself down. ¡°Speaking of which, in the past two days, the employees told me that the customers felt that the taste of the tea had changed¡­¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t store the tea leaves well?¡± Ai Tingya didn¡¯t think too much about it. Yan Kaize said, ¡°I took note of it and realized that Boss Yuan changed the ingredients on his own accord. He changed them to cheap essence and powder¡­¡± Luo Feng immediately understood. This was easy to understand. Boss Yuan more or less wanted to recover some losses. Even a mosquito¡¯s meat was still meat. He would cut as much cost as he could. He had suffered losses from the beginning to the end when he opened a shop. In the end, he still wanted to earn some money. ¡°So you guys quarreled?¡± Luo Feng asked. Yan Kaize nodded and sighed angrily. ¡°I think you can understand, so I can understand too. But this is contrary to the high-end route I originally envisioned, so I withdrew.¡± Boss Yuan¡¯s method could definitely recover some losses in the short term, but it could not guarantee the quality. It was destined to not go far. Coupled with Good Me¡¯s high-end milk tea shop a few hundred meters away, it was only a matter of time before it closed down. Suddenly, Luo Feng shouted at Xiao Fei, ¡°Xiao Fei, give Senior a cup of milk tea!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Fei replied. Yan Kaize smacked his lips twice. It wasn¡¯t that he was greedy, but he didn¡¯t expect Luo Feng to still remember their agreement back then. ¡°You still remember¡­¡± ¡°Of course. I told you that I¡¯ll treat you to milk tea if you admit defeat. You can try the new products in the shop,¡± Wang Yun said with a smile. Yan Kaize suddenly grinned and sneered. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m here to freeload? I have bad news for you. It¡¯s about your delivery website.¡± He actually followed Luo Feng¡¯s movements. On one hand, it was because of the resonance of the strong. On the other hand, it was because Luo Feng¡¯s delivery website was closely related to milk tea. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. Yan Kaize said, ¡°Do you know that there¡¯s also a takeaway in Beijing that¡¯s doing very well? Recently, it¡¯s been very popular in our investment circle. I heard that they¡¯ve already started financing and are preparing to develop it in our place.¡± He had specially come to Luo Feng¡¯s side not only to complain. Yan Kaize and Luo Feng had been fighting for so long, but he had never seen Luo Feng reveal a flustered expression. He was also very interested in how Luo Feng would deal with a powerful opponent. Luo Feng thought for a while and said, ¡°Could it be ¡®Are You Hungry¡¯?¡± Yan Kaize didn¡¯t expect Luo Feng to be so well-informed. ¡°How did you know?¡± His eyes widened. This news was only spread within a small circle. Did Luo Feng have a special information channel? Or had he expected such a competition, so Luo Feng was not too surprised? Yan Kaize was shocked. If it was the latter, then Luo Feng¡¯s sense of investment was really far-sighted. It was not wrong for him to lose to Luo Feng. Luo Feng actually did not expect Are You Hungry to expand faster than he had imagined. He could not remember the exact time in his previous life, but the capital and energy behind Are You Hungry were indeed worthy of Luo Feng¡¯s full attention. Chapter 206 - 206 Thank You Senior, Youre Really A Good Person! 206 Thank You Senior, You¡¯re Really A Good Person! The development of this life seemed to be different from his previous life. In his previous life, Are You Hungry did not expand so quickly, nor did it quickly occupy the city where Luo Feng studied. At that time, there was no Gather Sift Takeaway, so Are You Hungry was not in a hurry to expand. Luo Feng realized that after Gather Sift Takeaway became famous, the investors would most likely notice this track. Are You Hungry being funded earlier¡­ It was most likely a butterfly effect. Luo Feng was already mentally prepared. Yan Kaize finally saw a different expression on Luo Feng¡¯s face, seeing that he was deep in thought. ¡°I heard from someone that a few large domestic organizations have noticed Are You Hungry¡­ This is different from the milk tea industry.¡± Luo Feng nodded in agreement. Anyone with a little foresight could see the potential for development in the food delivery industry after all. In addition, the Internet was becoming more and more popular and the coverage was getting wider. However, the first person to notice the food delivery industry had to have some imagination. Yan Kaize supported his chin and stared intently at Luo Feng¡¯s face. The surprised expression just now seemed to have only flashed past. Now, it has returned to its usual calmness. Yan Kaize might not have specified which investment companies it was but one could tell from his expression that it was a big shot in the industry. Even though he had been training in the investment industry for many years and was regarded as a big shot in the eyes of others. Facing these investment companies, he could only tuck his tail between his legs. It might be difficult for him to even call himself a rising star. He had thought that Luo Feng would be flustered and surprised and would be in a hurry to ask him questions. Unexpectedly, he was calm and indifferent. Right on the heels of that, the corners of Luo Feng¡¯s mouth twitched as he revealed a huge smile. ¡°Senior! You¡¯re really a good person!¡± Luo Feng held Yan Kaize¡¯s hand and shook it. ¡°What?¡± Yan Kaize¡¯s face was full of question marks. Why did he suddenly thank him as a good person for no reason? Luo Feng held Yan Kaize excitedly with a long-awaited smile on his face. ¡°This news is really great. You came at the right time! Thank you, senior!¡± He felt that Yan Kaize was a good person from the bottom of his heart. When he was at his milk tea shop, he didn¡¯t forget to come over and show concern for his juniors. No wonder there were so many admirers of Yan Kaize in school. ¡°¡­ It¡¯s nothing¡­ It¡¯s what I should do¡­¡± Yan Kaize didn¡¯t understand and answered. Luo Feng was overjoyed. He was originally worried that if Yan Kaize fell, it would be difficult for him to get a rebate. Then, where would he find a competitor? Now, a ready-made opponent had come knocking on his door! The long-awaited takeaway war was finally about to begin! Then, he looked at the dumbfounded senior in front of him. From the moment he appeared, he had been very domineering and full of aggressiveness. This was the first major project on Luo Feng¡¯s path to recoup his losses. Now that he was prepared to retreat, he did not forget to bring Luo Feng new good news. Luo Feng really felt that Yan Kaize was a good person! And a rare good person! ¡°Come, senior, try our season¡¯s latest dish.¡± Luo Feng took the plate from Xiao Fei. An exquisite glass was filled with warm orange drinks that emitted a faint orange fragrance. In this cold winter, having a warm drink was a blissful thing. However, Yan Kaize was not interested in Luo Feng¡¯s confident work. Or rather, his attention was not on it. What he wanted to know the most was Luo Feng¡¯s plan. This junior, who was still studying in school, displayed a calmness that far exceeded Yan Kaize¡¯s own. To be able to perform like this, one had to either be strong and not afraid of powerful opponents at all, or they did not understand the key matters, thought that things were simple and were blindly confident. ¡°You already have a solution?¡± Yan Kaize asked. The two of them were no longer competitors. Yan Kaize felt that if he asked, Luo Feng would not hide it. ¡°How can that be?¡± Luo Feng said humbly. ¡°This matter definitely has to be treated seriously. I haven¡¯t thought about it carefully, but there¡¯s something more important before the matter of ¡®Are You Hungry¡¯.¡± Yan Kaize swallowed his saliva. Could it be that Luo Feng was also preparing to be engaged in the funding war? That couldn¡¯t be. Gather Sift Takeaway was obviously not on the same level as Are You Hungry. Yan Kaize could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. He stared straight at Luo Feng and heard him say word by word, ¡°It¡¯s the holidays. The most important thing is to bring my girlfriend home!¡± ¡°¡­Okay.¡± Yan Kaize picked up the drink in front of him and drank most of it. He felt a little calmer. In the face of a powerful enemy, he was still worried about bringing his girlfriend home? Yan Kaize couldn¡¯t understand. He suddenly figured it out. The reason why he lost to Luo Feng might not be because of his strength, but because he could not guess Luo Feng¡¯s thoughts, so he could not deal with him effectively. ¡­ Forget it. Let¡¯s leave it at that. Yan Kaize felt that he was worrying for nothing. Luo Feng happily sent Yan Kaize off. Not only because he had new opponents and pressure, but also because their final exams had ended and winter break was about to begin. This was a long holiday without homework. They were already adults. They could relax and play boldly! This semester was too busy. Luo Feng really needed time to rest, so bringing Ai Tingya home became the most important thing. After the exam ended, before the results were out, Luo Feng could not wait to book a plane ticket. It was impossible for them to take the make-up exam with his and Ai Tingya¡¯s results after all. Hence, there was no need for them to leave after reading the results. Sitting on the plane, Luo Feng felt a little excited. He had not returned for half a year after all. Would anything be different? Along the way, Luo Feng¡¯s imagination did not stop. He wished that the plane would land immediately. After landing, Luo Feng pulled two suitcases and couldn¡¯t wait to get into a taxi. He quickly hailed a taxi and got off at the entrance of the district. The old district was still the same old district in his memory, but it was cold in winter. There were no uncles and aunties sitting at the door chatting. However, the neighbors who came out of the district would still greet Luo Feng warmly. After all, everyone in the nearby streets knew that the Luo family had a top scorer in the college entrance examination and even opened a milk tea shop to earn money. Who wouldn¡¯t praise him after seeing it? From the entrance of the district to the entrance of the corridor, Luo Feng was like a leader who had gone to the countryside for an inspection. He stopped and greeted everyone he saw. It really made him feel embarrassed. Standing at the entrance of the corridor, Luo Feng was still a little homesick. He wondered what his parents¡¯ expressions would be when they saw him. Would they be so excited that they would cry? ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Luo Feng said to Ai Tingya. With a smile on his face, he walked up the stairs and stood at his door. He was suddenly stunned. The anti-theft door of their house had been removed somewhere, leaving only an empty door frame. There was also a group of workers working in the house, making the house a mess. Luo Feng widened his eyes in surprise. Where was his home? Where was his big home? Chapter 207 - 207 Returning Home, Homes Gone, Father and Mother Run Away! 207 Returning Home, Home¡¯s Gone, Father and Mother Run Away! Luo Feng was so frightened that he took two steps back. He looked up at the house number and confirmed that this was his home. He had lived here for 20 years, so it was impossible for him to have walked into the wrong house. Ai Tingya was quite calm and walked straight in. Luo Feng followed behind her. The familiar furniture in the house was gone. The ground was piled with bricks and cement. A few masters were bare-chested and smashing the wall with sledgehammers. ¡°Master, I want to ask you something!¡± Luo Feng shouted. However, the sound of the wall being smashed was too loud for the master to hear. ¡°Master!¡± Luo Feng howled. ¡°I want to ask you something!¡± The wall smasher stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. ¡°Which family are you from? Do you know that the construction site is very dangerous?¡± Luo Feng thought to himself, Is it dangerous for a home to be torn down? He asked, ¡°Master, where did this family go?¡± ¡°Who?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the residents here. Surnamed Luo. Do you know where they went?¡± The wall-smashing master shook his head. ¡°The boss who hired us is surnamed Li. I don¡¯t know anyone with the surname Luo.¡± He had gone out to study for half a year, and when he returned home, the home was gone. Ai Tingya pulled Luo Feng out of the house to avoid being accidentally injured by the flying rocks. ¡°Maybe Uncle and Auntie sold the house. Give them a call and ask.¡± Luo Feng originally wanted to give his parents a surprise, so he did not call in advance when he returned. He did not expect his parents to be even more ruthless and gave Luo Feng a rude shock! He took out his phone and called Mother Luo. ¡°Hello? Mom, I¡¯m home.¡± Mother Luo seemed to be very anxious on the other end of the line. Luo Feng repeated it several times before she heard it clearly. ¡°Home? Which home are you going back to?¡± How refreshing was this? Luo Feng thought to himself that he did not have a second home! After a moment of silence, Mother Luo suddenly reacted. ¡°Oh, oh, oh. You¡¯re on vacation, right? Why didn¡¯t you call in advance?¡± Luo Feng regretted not calling in advance. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m standing in our district now. Why did you sell the house?¡± ¡°What reason can there be for selling a house?¡± Mother Luo smiled and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I save up some money for you to go to university in the past? I didn¡¯t expect you to be so hardworking. You don¡¯t need us to worry at all. Your father and I discussed and decided to use this money to buy a new house. Hehehe, we changed to one with an elevator so that your father and I won¡¯t have to climb the stairs again.¡± Hearing this, Luo Feng felt a little bitter. As a son, he should be the one planning to buy a house. It had been hard on his parents. In the past, they didn¡¯t even dare to change houses because they worried about this and that. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go over and look for you.¡± Luo Feng wanted to give his parents a big hug and thank them for working hard for so many years. ¡°Ah¡­ look for us¡­¡± Mother Luo was suddenly in a difficult position. There was a mysterious silence from the receiver. Luo Feng had a bad feeling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Why did it feel like she didn¡¯t want her son to go home? ¡°Well, your father and I aren¡¯t in Crown City now¡­ We¡¯re traveling outside.¡± ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng suddenly did not feel so guilty anymore. His parents were living quite well! It turned out that after Ai Tingya¡¯s birthday, Father Luo and Mother Luo left after playing for two days. Luo Feng thought that they had gone home, but in fact, they had changed to a new place to travel. ¡°When was that house sold?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°We sold it before we went to look for you,¡± Mother Luo explained. ¡°There¡¯s nowhere to live in this old house. It¡¯s not easy to find a rented house for two to three months, so we decided to travel and play for two months before going back. The renovation will be almost done.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s such a big matter. Why didn¡¯t you tell me when you went to my school?¡± Luo Feng did not know what to say. He had traveled thousands of miles and ran home full of country bumpkins. In the end, his house was gone. His parents had gone out to play while he carried two big suitcases like a homeless stray dog¡­ On the other end of the line, Mother Luo muttered softly, ¡°Old Luo, why didn¡¯t you tell your son that we are traveling?¡± ¡°I thought you did?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t have the time. I was too busy taking photos.¡± Father Luo and Mother Luo kicked the ball for a while but did not understand. Luo Feng felt a little aggrieved. ¡°Then when are you coming back? Or are we not spending the New Year together this year?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t we just met? Why are you still sticking to your parents when you¡¯re so old?¡± Mother Luo said self-righteously. ¡°We still have a lot of time together in the future. There¡¯s no hurry.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luo Feng was speechless. He finally understood that his parents were taking advantage of his absence to have fun. It didn¡¯t matter if they didn¡¯t reunite during the new year. They didn¡¯t care if their biological son was living in the wilderness. ¡°Then where should I go?¡± Luo Feng felt extremely aggrieved. ¡°Hmm¡­ Why don¡¯t you stay at Lei Jin¡¯s house for a few days? I heard from his mother that Lei Jin¡¯s house prices have also increased.¡± ¡°It¡¯s usually fine, but it¡¯s the new year. Why would I go to his house¡­¡± Even though Lei Jin and his mother would definitely not mind, Luo Feng still felt that it was not good. Mother Luo mentioned a few more residences, such as Eldest Uncle¡¯s house and Second Uncle¡¯s house. However, they did not care about the cost. If Luo Feng went to seek refuge with them, he would have to drag his luggage and take a long-distance bus. Moreover, it was almost the new year, so it was inconvenient to go to anyone¡¯s house. ¡°Forget it, forget it. You guys have fun. I¡¯ll find a place myself.¡± ¡°Alright, be good with Tingya. I¡¯ll bring you a gift when I come back.¡± Mother Luo hung up the phone impatiently without any reluctance. ¡°¡­¡± Luo Feng listened to the busy tone on his phone and looked pitifully at Ai Tingya, who had been silent. ¡°Please take me in.¡± ¡°¡­ Let¡¯s go¡­¡± Ai Tingya didn¡¯t call Dean Du in advance when she returned. Therefore, when Ai Tingya led Luo Feng and stood at the entrance of the orphanage with two suitcases, Dean Du¡¯s eyes were wet. She did not run over to welcome them immediately. The younger children seized the opportunity and hung on Ai Tingya and Luo Feng like little monkeys. ¡°Sister Xiaoya, you¡¯re back? We missed you so much!¡± ¡°Did you bring us a gift?¡± ¡°Brother Luo Feng! Brother Luo Feng, you¡¯re here too. Here¡¯s some candy for you!¡± The children were so enthusiastic that they almost pounced on them. Ai Tingya was worried that they would fall, so she pulled and hugged them one by one. She wished she could grow eight hands and carry all the children to the side. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Dean Du ran over with tears and a smile to chase the children away. She took the luggage from Ai Tingya. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. You must be tired. Come in quickly.¡± Some of the children ran to the front to pour tea, while others pulled Ai Tingya along and chattered non-stop about interesting things. There were many things they wanted to share with Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya looked at Dean Du, whose sideburns had turned much whiter. Amidst the laughter, her heart suddenly ached. ¡°I¡¯m home.¡± Ai Tingya looked at the familiar courtyard and revealed a nostalgic smile. Chapter 208 - 208 Please Take Me In, Can We Spend The New Year Together? 208 Please Take Me In, Can We Spend The New Year Together? According to the rules of the orphanage, children who had reached adulthood did not have to come back. Moreover, she had found her family. Initially, Ai Tingya was also conflicted about whether she should return. Ai Zhaojiang was also looking forward to celebrating the first reunion with his granddaughter after all. However, after careful consideration, Ai Tingya decided to return to the orphanage to take a look. Firstly, she was worried that Dean Du would think too much. Secondly, she was indeed missing the children in the orphanage. Ai Tingya felt extremely relaxed returning to the familiar courtyard. The two of them sat around the stove and chatted happily. ¡°Xiaoya, you found your family?¡± ¡°Yes! I found Grandpa. He¡¯s a professor in our school.¡± Ai Tingya smiled. Dean Du recalled that when Professor Jing came to the orphanage to enroll, he insisted on meeting Ai Tingya in person. Initially, Dean Du thought that the recruitment teacher was in charge, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be his old friend¡¯s accurate intuition. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Dean Du was also very happy for Ai Tingya. The two of them had a lot to talk about, especially Ai Tingya. She told Dean Du everything that had happened in school, from the small matter of delivering drinks during military training to expanding the milk tea shop and competing with powerful seniors. Dean Du was sometimes surprised, sometimes worried, and sometimes laughing. Ai Tingya was not a person who liked to chat, but when she met Dean Du, her words were like a flood that had opened its floodgates. She could not finish them even after three days and three nights. This was because in her heart, Dean Du was more like a parent than Ai Zhaojiang. Moreover, they were talking as equals. Ai Tingya enjoyed the time she spent chatting with Dean Du. While they were engrossed in their conversation, Luo Feng helped pour water, open and close the windows, and occasionally play with his phone. He was like a primary school student accompanying his parents, finding something to do in his boredom. Dean Du didn¡¯t want to neglect her guest. She thought of chatting with Luo Feng and said, ¡°Tingya, look at how well Luo Feng treats you. He sent you home when he returned to Crown City. What a good child.¡± It would have been better if she hadn¡¯t said this. The moment he did, Luo Feng thought of his parents who had gone out to play. Luo Feng looked up and smiled bitterly. ¡°Dean Du, can I ask you for a favor?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Dean Du agreed without thinking. Luo Feng had helped the orphanage a lot. The milk tea shop he opened took care of most of the children¡¯s work. ¡°I was abandoned by my parents. Please take me in,¡± Luo Feng said pitifully. ¡°?¡± Hearing this, Dean Du immediately chose to look at Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya held her forehead and felt that Luo Feng was pitiful and funny. ¡°Explain it to the Dean properly. Otherwise, she will misunderstand.¡± The orphanage was very sensitive to words like ¡°abandoned¡±, ¡°abandoned¡±, and ¡°lost¡±. Dean Du¡¯s first reaction was that Luo Feng¡¯s parents were unusual. They could even abandon such a promising son. If not for Ai Tingya¡¯s smile, Dean Du might have taken it seriously. For example, she would make an exception and apply for an admission certificate for Luo Feng to officially join a large family like the orphanage. ¡°It¡¯s like this¡­ My parents sold their house and went on a trip¡­¡± Luo Feng explained the ins and outs of the matter, and Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t stop laughing. Dean Du¡¯s expression was very serious at first, but after understanding the ins and outs of the matter, she couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°So, your parents are traveling and won¡¯t be at home for the New Year this year,¡± Dean Du said with a smile. ¡°Yes¡­ They probably forgot that they have a son like me¡­¡± Luo Feng felt stifled. Even if Ai Tingya was an orphan, she still had an orphanage to stay in. He had both parents. He stood in front of a house that was no longer his home and enjoyed the cold wind. As for his parents, they might be enjoying the sun on the warm beach. It was sad just thinking about it. ¡°Dean Du, I¡¯ve thought it through on the way here. Perhaps our orphanage is my destined destination.¡± Luo Feng had a depressed expression and suddenly had the aura of a poet. The corners of Dean Du¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. When she heard this, she complained softly, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not our Xiaoya who¡¯s destined to be your home¡­¡± ¡°If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here.¡± There was nothing else in the orphanage, but there was no lack of rooms. Dean Du had always been grateful to Luo Feng, so she naturally wouldn¡¯t reject this small request. Luo Feng had done the orphanage a favor after all. Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop was originally meant to alleviate the orphanage¡¯s economic crisis. Now, a portion of Crown City¡¯s milk tea shop¡¯s shares belonged to the orphanage. From then on, Dean Du almost never worried about funding again. Moreover, the milk tea shop provided very good jobs for the children. Luo Feng never hides anything. When hiring employees, the first thing he thought of was the orphanage. A store manager like Xiao Fei was considered a leader. She earned nearly 100,000 yuan a month. Before Luo Feng appeared, the children were already very lucky to find jobs that gave them a few thousand yuan. To orphans without a background or parents to help them, Luo Feng could be said to be their second parent. What surprised Dean Du even more was that when the children earned money, they pooled it together to discuss and decided to give a portion to the orphanage every month. This was Xiao Fei¡¯s suggestion. Even though there was not much money, some children who had just started working could only take out a few hundred yuan. However, there were many children who gathered money. There were tens of thousands of yuan in total. It was enough for the younger children to eat for a few months. Dean Du did not want it at first. She felt that it was not easy for the children to earn money. Xiao Fei took leave and came back just to convince her to accept it. According to Xiao Fei, if they weren¡¯t children from the orphanage, they probably wouldn¡¯t have the chance to get to Good Me for such a good job. The conversation returned to the beginning. In order to fulfill Ai Tingya¡¯s dream, Luo Feng had opened a milk tea shop. Even after expanding until now, he had not forgotten his original intention. It was the orphanage that facilitated Good Me¡¯s opening of the shop, and it was also Good Me who helped the orphanage. Dean Du could not win against Xiao Fei, so she could only accept the money. This 10,000 yuan could also reduce the Dean¡¯s burden. Just now, when Ai Tingya and Luo Feng entered together, the children surrounded the two of them. Even though the children were young, they remembered Luo Feng¡¯s kindness and knew how helpful he was to everyone. Moreover, Luo Feng also gave the employees in the shop a break while he was on holiday. Xiao Fei and the others returned to the orphanage before Ai Tingya. When they heard that Luo Feng was here, the employees who were taken care of by Luo Feng also ran over. However, they were still bosses and employees. Some people were still a little reserved when they saw Luo Feng and did not dare to speak casually. Except for Xiao Fei. When she heard that Luo Feng had applied to stay in the orphanage, she hurriedly ran over to laugh at him. ¡°Boss, I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a day.¡± ¡°Xiao Fei.¡± Dean Du glanced at her and asked her to speak properly. ¡°Ahem, Boss, I heard that you¡¯re going to celebrate the new year with us?¡± She skipped around Luo Feng. It was true that she was laughing at Luo Feng and also true that she was happy. Chapter 209 - 209 Who Is More Important, Boss Or Best Friend? 209 Who Is More Important, Boss Or Best Friend? Xiao Fei had known Luo Feng since before he became the boss. She had a carefree personality and would not become distant because of Luo Feng¡¯s change in status. If anything, she might have become even more fawning than before. Therefore, the other employees probably treated Luo Feng as their boss while Xiao Fei treated him as the big brother who gave them money. This interaction made Luo Feng feel much more at ease. ¡°You really want to spend the New Year with us?¡± Xiao Fei leaned closer to Luo Feng, her eyes filled with anticipation. Luo Feng sighed and said, ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ I¡¯m homeless and came to seek refuge with you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine!¡± Xiao Fei patted Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder heroically. ¡°Boss, you and the children of our orphanage are family. Tell me if you need anything. I¡¯m not bragging but other than Dean Du, I have the final say in our orphanage now!¡± Xiao Fei had the demeanor of a logistics minister. It was not that Xiao Fei was bragging. her age was actually more awkward in the orphanage. She was a few years younger than Ai Tingya and was between sensible and insensible. She was still too young to go out and find an independent job and could not do much. However, she was very cheerful and knew the ways of the world. She was also very efficient at work. When she was in the orphanage, her prestige was not small. It could be seen from the first time Luo Feng came to the orphanage when Xiao Fei organized the children to inspect Luo Feng. Even though the children were bought over by Luo Feng¡¯s snack gift bag, this did not affect the children from listening to Xiao Fei. In comparison, Ai Tingya was focused on her studies and was even older than the children. She was not as popular as Xiao Fei. ¡°Ahem, since Xiao Fei is so enthusiastic, I happen to need your help with something.¡± Luo Feng revealed a meaningful smile. ¡°Can you help me?¡± When he arrived, he had something on his mind for a long time. It was not good to tell Ai Tingya, but he did not know how to mention it to Dean Du. Little Fei appeared at the right time, sending him a pillow just as he was about to sleep. Luo Feng definitely had to seize the opportunity. His words almost praised Xiao Fei to the sky. ¡°Tell me!¡± Xiao Fei was especially happy. She was even happier to be able to help Luo Feng than to receive a bonus at work. The children of the orphanage had received a lot of favors from Luo Feng after all. They wanted to find an opportunity to repay Luo Feng, but they always realized that he did not lack anything. They did not have anything to show off. Now that the opportunity was in front of her, Xiao Fei¡¯s eyes were sparkling. She wanted to see how she could help Luo Feng. Luo Feng cleared his throat and said shyly, ¡°Look, this is my first time in an orphanage¡­ I¡¯m unfamiliar with this place¡­ I¡¯m a little nervous¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Yes?¡± Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei revealed the same expression at the same time¡ªthey were filled with question marks. In the past, when she was in high school, Ai Tingya would revise at Luo Feng¡¯s house. Luo Feng would send Ai Tingya home every night. If she came back early, Dean Du would sometimes invite Luo Feng in to sit down and cook some noodles for the two of them for supper. He almost treated the orphanage as his home and came more diligently than anyone else. Why was he still shy? Xiao Fei glanced at Ai Tingya and realized that she was also looking at her. The two of them seemed to have the same thoughts. ¡°So?¡± ¡°I want to¡­ live in the same room as someone I¡¯m familiar with. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be very uneasy.¡± Luo Feng said his request seriously and stuck out his chest. He felt that his reason was very convincing. ¡°¡­¡± Xiao Fei pointed at herself and said, ¡°You mean you want to share a room with Xiao Ya and let me live elsewhere?¡± Dean Du shook her head, thinking that Xiao Fei was too naive and had been tricked. She had indeed agreed to let Luo Feng stay, but she did not say which room she wanted him to stay in. There were many rooms in the orphanage after all, so it was not a problem for Luo Feng to change one every day. When Luo Feng mentioned the room, his eyes never left Ai Tingya. How could he sleep in another room? Xiao Fei came to a realization! Luo Feng was trying to occupy the magpie¡¯s nest! ¡°No way!¡± Before Xiao Fei could speak, Ai Tingya stood up and objected. She was engaged to Luo Feng, so it was legitimate. However, she had watched the children in the orphanage grow up, especially Dean Du. She almost raised Ai Tingya as her own daughter. Ai Tingya would be so shy to sleep in the same room as Luo Feng in such a situation. She glared at Xiao Fei and told her not to fall into Luo Feng¡¯s trap! Xiao Fei felt Ai Tingya¡¯s killing intent and shivered. She smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Boss, this¡­ isn¡¯t good, right?¡± ¡°Ah? That¡¯s not what you said just now! How can you go back on your word?¡± Luo Feng was like a little resentful woman who had been bullied. ¡°Do you treat me as your big brother!¡± Damn it! Xiao Fei felt like she was being roasted over a fire. Luo Feng had actually taken the initiative to change the way he addressed her. Wasn¡¯t this adding another layer of friendship in addition to being the boss?! On one side was her childhood friend, Ai Tingya, and on the other was her new brother, Luo Feng, who gave her her salary. Xiao Fei touched her conscience and the scales gradually shifted in Ai Tingya¡¯s direction. ¡°Speaking of which, I originally planned to promote you after the New Year.¡± Luo Feng muttered softly, his voice just loud enough for Xiao Fei to hear. ¡°I think you need to hone yourself a little more seeing how hesitant you are.¡± Absolute kill! Xiao Fei widened her eyes, afraid that she would hear wrongly because she was too nervous. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Luo Feng hummed a tune with an expression that said, ¡°Do as you see fit.¡± ¡°Big Brother Luo! You¡¯re my biological big brother!¡± Xiao Fei was extremely excited. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She knew that this little girl was going to defect again! ¡°It¡¯s human nature to be afraid of strangers! I think it¡¯s very necessary to leave you with someone familiar to take care of you! Wait for me. I¡¯ll pack my things and leave immediately!¡± Xiao Fei was impassioned, as if she was taking an oath. Her hand that was touching her heart clenched into a fist. Conscience? As long as she did not touch it, her conscience would still exist! However, for the sake of her boss, it didn¡¯t matter if she didn¡¯t have it! ¡°Xiao Fei¡­ Wait¡­¡± Before Ai Tingya could stop her, Xiao Fei had already disappeared like a gust of wind. She could not even be seen by the tail lights. She could only look at Dean Du, hoping that she could say something. She was an elder after all. Luo Feng would definitely listen to Dean Du. Ai Tingya placed her hopes on her. Unexpectedly, Dean Du¡¯s eyes were on Ai Tingya¡¯s ring finger. There was a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg on it. Dean Du knew that Ai Tingya did not like small accessories that were good-looking but useless. She had been very minimalistic for more than a decade. The things that she could wear day and night must have a special meaning. She was still so shy even though she was engaged. Dean Du covered her mouth and smiled without saying anything. She had no intention of standing up to speak. ¡°Dean¡­¡± Ai Tingya reminded softly, ¡°Luo Feng is too unreasonable.¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed ridiculous.¡± Dean Du suddenly stood up and said as she walked, ¡°Xiao Fei will definitely only pack her things. I¡¯ll change your sheets.¡± Chapter 210 - 210 Afraid Of The Dark And Wants To Sleep With You! 210 Afraid Of The Dark And Wants To Sleep With You! Xiao Fei was very fast. In the afternoon, she tidied up the room and moved in with another girl. Many children in the orphanage worked. They did not have winter and summer vacations and would only come back for dinner during the New Year. Therefore, there were many rooms in the orphanage, so it was not troublesome. After Xiao Fei left, Luo Feng pushed his luggage in and opened it to unpack his things. He would definitely be spending the entire winter break in the orphanage. Luo Feng took out all the things he needed. The noisy orphanage suddenly fell silent, leaving only Ai Tingya and Luo Feng in the room. She sat by the bed with a flushed face and looked at Luo Feng¡¯s back as he packed his things. Luo Feng packed his things and began to observe Ai Tingya¡¯s room. The layout of the room was very simple. There was a faded desk, piles of high school books in the corner, a yellowing wardrobe, and a double-decker. Originally, Xiao Fei would sleep above and Ai Tingya would sleep below. However, the two girls had a good relationship and were small sized so they both squeezed into the lower bunk. Their habits had not changed after so many years. Ai Tingya pointed above her head and said, ¡°I¡¯ll sleep on it tonight. You can sleep on my bed.¡± She stood up and went to the wardrobe to bring out a new mattress. She threw it onto the lower bunk. ¡°Why are you worried that I¡¯ll be cold?¡± Luo Feng smiled. Xiao Fei took away the bedsheets she had slept in. Dean Du had changed to a new bed. Ai Tingya felt that it was not thick enough and made another layer for Luo Feng. The place she wanted to sleep on the upper floor was still bare and empty. ¡°Come and take a look. Do you think it¡¯s hard?¡± Ai Tingya patted the edge of the bed. Thinking about how Luo Feng would stay in hotel rooms that were more than a thousand yuan a night if he went out to stay in a hotel, she was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the simple conditions of the orphanage and treat Luo Feng like a pea princess. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You made it comfortable,¡± Luo Feng said with a smile. ¡°¡­¡± Ai Tingya paused for a moment and said to Luo Feng, ¡°I¡¯m going to help Dean Du clean up the room now. Help me make the bed above. Everything is in the cabinet. Is that okay?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Luo Feng agreed readily. Ai Tingya was a little surprised to see him so obedient. With Luo Feng¡¯s scheming personality, how could he not have other intentions when the two of them lived in the same room? Could it be that he had changed? Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng in confusion and did not say anything. She closed the door and left. After dinner that night, Ai Tingya returned to her room and saw that the upper bed was really well made. The corners were pressed tightly against everything. Ai Tingya could not believe it. She was too embarrassed to ask and did not know where to start. After taking a shower, Ai Tingya wore her thickest set of pajamas and a down jacket. In short, she wrapped herself up tightly, revealing only her face. ¡°Go and shower. If you don¡¯t know how to use it, ask the others.¡± Ai Tingya climbed onto the top bunk. There were many people in the orphanage and they did not have the conditions to have a bathroom in each room. There was a public shower at the end of the corridor. Luo Feng could not help but find it funny when he saw her vigilant expression. She wished she could grow together with her clothes. Ai Tingya was already lying on the upper bed when he came out of the shower. Her back was facing outside and she was wrapped in a thick blanket. The corners were pressed under her. She looked like a fat green vegetable worm and had completely activated her Defense mode. Luo Feng wanted to laugh. To be honest, he only wanted to stay with Ai Tingya. Luo Feng had never thought of anything else. The house in the orphanage was quite old after all. Luo Feng remembered that he was still at the age of wearing diapers and had heard of this place. Other than the fact that the old house did not have much light and was more crowded, it was also very uncomfortable. Not to mention the other children living in the rooms on both sides. They would probably hear everything clearly if there was any movement. Luo Feng was not so lusty. He dried his hair and lay obediently on the lower bunk. Ai Tingya, who was on the top bunk, felt the bed shake gently and knew that Luo Feng had laid down. After turning off the lights, Ai Tingya silently opened her eyes and looked at the darkness in front of her. She felt a little uneasy and was afraid of what Luo Feng would do. She was even more afraid because she knew that she could not reject Luo Feng. If anyone heard anything, Ai Tingya felt that she would be too embarrassed to return to the orphanage in the future. Ai Tingya was a little awake hearing Luo Feng lie down obediently. At the same time, she was a little disappointed. The conflicts interweaved, making her so troubled that she could not sleep. She rolled over and looked at the stain on the ceiling in the moonlight that leaked in. Ai Tingya found it a little strange. In the past, when she lived in the same room as Luo Feng, she only felt secretly delighted, excited, and guarded. Her mood was completely different from now. The orphanage was a very important existence to Ai Tingya. Luo Feng staying in the orphanage and staying in the same room as her was equivalent to walking into her most private space. She suddenly understood why the boudoir of ancient girls could not be casually barged in. Living in his room together felt very novel and a little shy. She felt that everything about her had been seen by Luo Feng. It was not used for physical intimacy, but for the deep connection between their senses. This made Ai Tingya extremely shy. Ai Tingya lifted the blanket to cover half of her face and buried her gentle breathing under the blanket. In the silent room, Luo Feng¡¯s breathing was even more obvious. ¡°Tingya,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s voice was muffled. ¡°Are you going to sleep?¡± ¡°Not yet¡­¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s heart was in a mess and she could not sleep for a while. Luo Feng said aggrievedly, ¡°Yes, I can¡¯t sleep either.¡± ¡°Why? Is it cold?¡± Ai Tingya asked worriedly. ¡°My heart is cold, and the room is so dark¡­¡± Luo Feng said pitifully. ¡°Hmm¡­ I don¡¯t think I can help¡­¡± Ai Tingya knew that Luo Feng would not be so obedient. It was not like they had not slept in the same bed after knowing each other for so long. This was the first time Ai Tingya had heard that Luo Feng was afraid of the dark. This sounded very new. ¡°A young and beautiful man like me was heartlessly abandoned by my parents and asked to be taken in. My heart is cold¡­¡± Luo Feng wheedled. ¡°It¡¯s dark here. I think it¡¯s normal for me to be afraid.¡± He even proved it. ¡°So?¡± Ai Tingya said ruthlessly. Then, she stopped talking, afraid that she would be trapped by Luo Feng again. ¡°¡­Tingya, you¡¯ve changed.¡± Luo Feng refused to give up. He was addicted to acting. ¡°You don¡¯t feel sorry for me anymore. Do you feel that I¡¯m useless after being abandoned?¡± ¡°¡­ May I ask how I should feel sorry for you?¡± ¡°You should invite me to sleep with you.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Tingya¡¯s temperature will definitely melt the ice in my heart!¡± Ai Tingya did not want to pay attention to Luo Feng at all. In the end, he still wanted to sleep with her! Hmph! He was indeed scheming! Don¡¯t even think about it! Chapter 211 - 211 Dont Ignore Me, Okay? 211 Don¡¯t Ignore Me, Okay? ¡°I need a sense of security,¡± Luo Feng said eloquently. ¡°No, be good today and sleep.¡± Ai Tingya really regretted talking to Luo Feng. The strange feeling of sleeping in the same room was all an illusion. Ai Tingya refused firmly because she was worried that she would be easily controlled by Luo Feng if she did not insist on it. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Luo Feng pouted, a little disappointed. He did not continue saying anything. Instead, he closed his eyes obediently, as if he was not the one acting just now. His emotional switch was quite on point. Ai Tingya heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally not fallen into Luo Feng¡¯s trap. However, Luo Feng had not spoken for a long time, and Ai Tingya felt a little uneasy. She squirmed to the bed and secretly observed the people in the lower bunk. Luo Feng turned his body to the side and faced the wall. He did not move, and it was unknown if he was asleep. He fell asleep just like that? It didn¡¯t make sense¡­ Ai Tingya was a little worried. Was she too domineering just now? Or was it better to speak gently? Was Luo Feng angry? She grabbed the edge of the bed and pursed her lips, feeling a little anxious. After staying in an observation posture for a while, Luo Feng still lay on his side, not saying anything or moving. Ai Tingya could not see Luo Feng¡¯s face, but she felt that his posture was because he was angry. Ai Tingya was a little flustered. The two of them had been together for so long, but never had they quarreled. Especially Luo Feng, who had always spoken softly to her. He had never said a single harsh word, let alone lose his temper. It could be said that he was obedient. Thinking of this, Ai Tingya felt extremely guilty. ¡°Luo Feng, are you asleep?¡± Ai Tingya asked uneasily. Luo Feng did not answer, as if he had really fallen asleep. ¡°Are you angry?¡± There was still no movement below. Ai Tingya bit her lower lip and made up her mind. She whispered, ¡°Then¡­ then come up¡­¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Luo Feng lifted the blanket and jumped up. Ai Tingya only saw a black shadow. One second, it was lying obediently. The next second, it was hanging from the bed ladder and a foot stepped on it. There was a creaking sound as he got out of bed. ¡°Stop!¡± Ai Tingya stopped him worriedly, worried that the bed would collapse if he moved any further. Luo Feng grinned. ¡°I know what you¡¯re worried about.¡± He scooped up his hand and jumped down from the top bunk with Ai Tingya in his arms. He burrowed into the blanket on the bottom bunk at lightning speed. His movements were very fast, and the heat under the blanket had yet to dissipate. ¡°Huh?¡± Ai Tingya was stunned. She was lying down well. Why did she come down? Why was she in Luo Feng¡¯s arms? After a while, Ai Tingya remembered that Luo Feng was feigning anger. She placed her hands on Luo Feng¡¯s chest and protested, ¡°Go away! You only know how to lie to me!¡± Ai Tingya felt that she was a fool. She was so worried just now. Perhaps Luo Feng was hiding under the blanket and laughing secretly so she hit and kicked him to chase him down. Luo Feng could not stop laughing. He hugged Ai Tingya tightly and was busy tucking in the blanket to prevent the heat from escaping. He could feel that Ai Tingya was not using a lot of strength. It was more likely that she was just angry from embarrassment and wanted to find a way out. Ai Tingya squirmed for a while. Her pajamas were heavy, and the blanket on her body was also heavy. She was so tired that she was panting. She also stopped and tacitly agreed to Luo Feng¡¯s operation. After a long time, Ai Tingya resigned herself to fate and pressed against Luo Feng¡¯s chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she whispered, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to be angry with me in the future.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ignore me, okay?¡± Ai Tingya raised her head and her warm breath landed on Luo Feng¡¯s chin. Her voice was soft and small, like a newborn kitten. She seemed to be crying. Luo Feng regretted it a little. He did not expect a small joke to make Ai Tingya care so much. He gently patted Ai Tingya¡¯s back to comfort her. He did not expect Ai Tingya to be so afraid that he would ignore her. Seeing her rub against him aggrievedly, any man would feel sorry for her, let alone Luo Feng, who loved Ai Tingya deeply. ¡°How can I bear to ignore you?¡± Luo Feng rubbed against Ai Tingya¡¯s furry head and comforted her. ¡°I won¡¯t make such a joke again. I promise!¡± Ai Tingya buried her face in the blanket and grunted. She burrowed into Luo Feng¡¯s arms like a kitten. She did not have a specific destination and just wanted to wheedle a few times. She even chuckled, as if she was enjoying it. Ai Tingya was happy, but Luo Feng did not feel so good. In order to save space, the single bed was very narrow and was 1.2 meters wide. Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei were thin females squeezing together. Luo Feng was 1.8 meters tall and a man. When he lay down, he had to pay attention to his movements so that he would not flip over. The two of them were squeezed on a small bed, and there was indeed not enough space. The two of them stuck together, and Ai Tingya moved around like a child again. Luo Feng felt very uncomfortable holding back this feeling. Ai Tingya felt something hard pressing against her lower abdomen and immediately sensed danger. This time, she became obedient and froze in Luo Feng¡¯s arms. Why did that sentence sound like this: I¡¯m afraid that he won¡¯t be with me, but I¡¯m also afraid that he¡¯ll mess around. Luo Feng sighed softly. Was this considered his punishment for teasing Ai Tingya? If they could have been in another place, would he have suffered this grievance? ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Luo Feng sighed again and did not do anything else. His arm wrapped around Ai Tingya. ¡°Haha.¡± Ai Tingya sensed Luo Feng¡¯s depression and forbearance and could not help but laugh. ¡°I told you to sleep separately, but you refused to listen. Hehe.¡± ¡°Sigh,¡± Luo Feng replied with a sigh, feeling indescribably sad. Ai Tingya chuckled, and the grievance from before disappeared. Moreover, she could feel Luo Feng¡¯s cherish and respect for her. She obediently nestled in Luo Feng¡¯s arms. She was tired after a while. After calming down for a few minutes, a wave of sleepiness swept over Ai Tingya and she quickly fell asleep. This made things difficult for Luo Feng. After falling asleep, Ai Tingya was as soft as a doll. She let out a few cute nasal sounds no matter how anyone kneaded her. She hummed like a puppy with its eyes closed. Seeing how unprepared she was, Luo Feng¡¯s breathing became even faster. However, he did not move. He just hugged Ai Tingya obediently. After a while, the arm that was resting on Ai Tingya¡¯s head began to go numb. The sore feeling lasted until his senses disappeared. Luo Feng was on the brink of tears. He had brought this upon himself! ¡°Oh¡­ Luo Feng¡­ You¡¯re not allowed¡­ to be angry¡­¡± Ai Tingya said lightly in her sleep. In her deep sleep, she instinctively burrowed into a warm place. Luo Feng felt that he was about to go crazy. He could only hold Ai Tingya¡¯s waist to stop her from moving around. He also wanted to prevent Ai Tingya from squeezing him off the bed. ¡°Tingya¡­¡± Luo Feng called out softly. Ai Tingya did not respond. ¡°Can I kiss you?¡± Luo Feng lowered his head and whispered, ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it that you agree?¡± Chapter 212 - 212 The Insensible Xiao Fei Still Hopes To Be Promoted? 212 The Insensible Xiao Fei Still Hopes To Be Promoted? Luo Feng did not know when he fell asleep. His numb arm made him unable to sleep soundly the entire night. When the sky seemed to be a little bright, Luo Feng¡¯s sore arm was released. The relaxation of the body did not increase the quality of sleep. Luo Feng had a Nightmare where someone wanted to murder him. A black shadow holding a strange-shaped pillow suddenly ran over and covered its mouth and nose. The pillow was soft, but it was difficult for Luo Feng to breathe. His hands instinctively grabbed in the air. At first, Luo Feng could not catch anything. He thought that all of this was fake. However, the increasing suffocation seemed to be stuck in Luo Feng¡¯s neck. Luo Feng realized that the soft pillow might be fake. The suffocation was real! This feeling was too real! Luo Feng tried his best to leave the dream and opened his eyes. His face was buried between two soft things. It was not a pillow, but Ai Tingya¡¯s¡­ This bed was too small. Ai Tingya might have crawled out of Luo Feng¡¯s arms when she flipped over. She did not know when she hugged Luo Feng¡¯s head and buried him in her chest. No wonder he could not breathe! Luo Feng gently pushed Ai Tingya away and took deep breaths of fresh air. He had never thought that sleeping with Ai Tingya was also a dangerous thing. He almost suffocated in his dream. In order not to be entangled by Ai Tingya, Luo Feng decided to turn over and continue sleeping. His movements disturbed the people beside him. Ai Tingya opened her sleepy eyes and saw that Luo Feng¡¯s face was flushed red, as if he had a fever. Before Ai Tingya could figure out the situation, Xiao Fei¡¯s voice came from outside the door. ¡°Xiaoya, are you guys awake? I want to come in and get something!¡± ¡°Huh?!¡± Ai Tingya was shocked awake. She pushed Luo Feng. ¡°Hurry up and go to the upper bed!!¡± ¡°What?¡± The upper bed was as cold as an ice bed. Luo Feng did not want to go up. ¡°Hurry up!¡± Ai Tingya urged. ¡°If Xiao Fei sees us sleeping together, I¡¯m afraid everyone will know!¡± The 1.2-meter-tall single bed had to be squeezed together. How close must this young couple be? Ai Tingya would be completely ashamed if she heard such an evaluation! Luo Feng was innocently implicated. He unwillingly climbed onto the top bed and lay on the cold blanket, pretending to still be asleep. Ai Tingya tidied her clothes and opened the door. As soon as Xiao Fei entered, she searched the village like a police dog. It was not enough for her to look left and right. Her nose also moved with her, and she was extremely curious about the room. Especially her big eyes, which kept glancing at Ai Tingya¡¯s bed. She did not say anything, but there was a deeper meaning in her eyes. Ai Tingya felt uncomfortable under his gaze and said unhappily, ¡°What are you looking at!¡± ¡°I think¡­ I think spring is coming from our orphanage.¡± Xiao Fei teased Ai Tingya shamelessly. Even Luo Feng, who was on the upper bunk, was speechless. Xiao Fei was probably too familiar with the two of them. Xiao Fei had said yesterday that she treated him as her biological brother after all. Therefore, she did not have any scruples when she spoke. She even sounded like a tiger or wolf. ¡°What are you talking about!¡± Ai Tingya could not take it anymore. It was fine if this girl usually sold herself, as long as the two of them knew what private matters she had. Luo Feng was also present in the room. Ai Tingya could not let Xiao Fei shoot her mouth off. Xiao Fei placed her hands on her hips and said confidently, ¡°We¡¯re all adults. Be more arrogant!¡± If not for the fact that Luo Feng knew that Xiao Fei had never been in a relationship, her tone would definitely be thought of as a scumbag behind the scenes. Xiao Fei did not care if Ai Tingya was angry. She craned her neck to look at Ai Tingya¡¯s bed and then at her pajamas. Unfortunately, he did not see anything abnormal. Not seeing the scene she wanted, Xiao Fei looked at Luo Feng¡¯s back in disdain and knocked on the bed frame. ¡°Brother Luo, you¡¯re really disappointing me. I created an opportunity for you in vain, but you actually didn¡¯t seize it!¡± Xiao Fei sighed regretfully, even more regretful than Luo Feng himself. Luo Feng turned around and looked at Xiao Fei. ¡°Thank you. Are you sure you¡¯re not afraid of being beaten up by Tingya?¡± Xiao Fei waved her hand and smiled slyly. ¡°There¡¯s no need for verbal thanks. When will you put the matter of a raise on the agenda?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ I¡¯ll think about it¡­¡± Luo Feng yawned and was very perfunctory. ¡°The boss doesn¡¯t want to talk about work during his break.¡± ¡°Ah! Why didn¡¯t you keep your word! I sold Little Ya to you!¡± Xiao Fei was dumbfounded and felt especially aggrieved. ¡°Who gave you the courage to say these words in front of me?¡± Ai Tingya stood at the side and said faintly. She knew that Xiao Fei had completely changed sides with Luo Feng! ¡°Aiya, Little Ya.¡± Xiao Fei hugged Ai Tingya and wheedled. ¡°This is a plan! How can I earn a lot of money to support you if I don¡¯t get a promotion and a raise!¡± This fence sitter¡­ Luo Feng rolled his eyes at her and said lazily, ¡°Hmm¡­ I don¡¯t think you¡¯re sensible enough.¡± Xiao Fei blinked, disagreeing with Luo Feng. Was she still insensible? She had given up her room to Luo Feng! Could there be an employee more sensible than her? She didn¡¯t believe it! Seeing that she was unconvinced and still had a hint of foolishness on her face, Luo Feng clicked on the broadcast. ¡°If you¡¯re sensible¡­ For example, why are you here so early? Or what did you leave behind?¡± Xiao Fei had forgotten the facial cleanser in her room when she was packing yesterday. Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s words, she came to a realization! She did not belong here ever since she moved out of this room! Since she said that she wanted to give everything to the boss, what was a mere room to her! She was indeed insensible. She shouldn¡¯t have come to take things! ¡°Understood! I won¡¯t come again!¡± Xiao Fei walked to the door solemnly and placed her hand on the doorknob. ¡°On account that I¡¯ve changed my attitude, Boss, think about my promotion again.¡± Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction. This little third wheel was becoming more and more mature! With a click, Xiao Fei gently closed the door and left. Ai Tingya was about to return to the blanket to warm up when Luo Feng suddenly lifted the blanket and ran down. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going back to sleep?¡± Ai Tingya asked. Luo Feng shook his head. ¡°The blanket on it is cold! Besides, how can I be in the mood to sleep when I¡¯m lying with you?¡± ¡°Hooligan¡­¡± Ai Tingya scolded jokingly. Luo Feng asked as he changed his clothes, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go out for a walk today?¡± ¡°Shopping?¡± Ai Tingya had just woken up and her reaction was not very agile. She had been angered by Xiao Fei just now and was still a little confused as she looked at Luo Feng¡¯s face in a daze. After waiting for a few seconds, she smiled. ¡°Okay, where should we go shopping?¡± Seeing her cute appearance, Luo Feng could not help but kiss her on the cheek. Ai Tingya hurriedly pushed him away. ¡°Be careful! What if someone sees us!¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I kiss my own wife?¡± Luo Feng refused to let go. ¡°Not only will I kiss her, but I also have to change your clothes. Get up quickly!¡± Chapter 213 - 213 Nothing Delicious Can Be Compared To Your Boiled Egg 213 Nothing Delicious Can Be Compared To Your Boiled Egg After a long time in the morning, Ai Tingya and Luo Feng came out of the room. Ai Tingya blushed and hugged herself through her clothes, as if there was some treasure hidden in them. She did not expect Luo Feng to really do as he said and help her change her clothes. ¡°Why are you shy?¡± Luo Feng smiled evilly. ¡°It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen it before.¡± ¡°You¡­ Hmph!¡± Ai Tingya turned her head away and happened to see a small head sticking out from the end of the corridor, as if it was a gopher scouting for information about the enemy. The head popped out and retracted, retracting and reappearing. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Ai Tingya walked over and asked. The child grinned and said shyly, ¡°Sister Xiaoya, the Dean asked me to call you down for breakfast.¡± ¡°Why are you hiding here?¡± Ai Tingya asked in confusion. ¡°Sister Xiaofei told us not to approach your room,¡± the child said shyly. ¡°She said that if we get close, she won¡¯t be able to be promoted and thus won¡¯t be able to buy candy for us¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ai Tingya held her forehead. Had Xiao Fei forewarned everyone already? Nothing had happened, but her explanation caused a misunderstanding! ¡°Where¡¯s your Sister Xiaofei?¡± Ai Tingya said murderously. It was necessary to teach Xiao Fei a good lesson! ¡°She went out to buy vegetables with the Dean!¡± The child sensed that something was wrong. After saying that, he ran away. Luo Feng stood at the side. It was hard for him to hold back his laughter. He put his arm around Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go eat breakfast first. Then, we¡¯ll go out for a walk.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡± Ai Tingya glared at Luo Feng. ¡°Yes, yes, it¡¯s all my fault.¡± Luo Feng coaxed. ¡°I¡¯ll tell Xiao Fei when she comes back.¡± The two of them walked to the canteen on the first floor. The round table and stove were very neat. There was a pot lid on the table. Ai Tingya lifted it and saw two bowls of meat porridge, four buns, and a stack of pickles. Dean Du and the other children had long finished eating. These two portions were specially reserved for Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. Originally, there was a fixed amount of food for every meal in the orphanage to prevent older children from snatching children. Ai Tingya still remembered that when she was young, she could often only eat until she was half full. Stir-fried cabbage was the most common dish. There was no other reason but that it was cheap. In the past two years, the economic situation of the orphanage has improved. They could even eat buns for breakfast. ¡°Ohoho, it¡¯s quite sumptuous.¡± Luo Feng sat down and carried a bowl of porridge. Ai Tingya took a bite of the bun. The filling was rich, and the fragrance of oil, coriander, and vegetables mixed in one bite. It was extremely delicious. Even Luo Feng, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies, was full of praise. However, Ai Tingya ate with a heavy heart, as if she was not very interested in meat buns. The two of them finished breakfast and washed the dishes before leaving the orphanage. Crown City was still the same. It was filled with the leisure and slow pace of a small city. The city where Luo Feng and the others studied was a front-line city that was focused on development. The pace was so fast that it was suffocating. They had already begun to tear down small buildings and build new houses before the big development. They could bump into a construction site after taking a few steps. However, Crown City was different. It was no different from half a year ago. The prosperity outside gave people a surreal feeling. There seemed to be two more shopping malls, and there seemed to be more private cars on the street. However, this did not affect the slow pace of Crown City. Luo Feng remembered that Crown City in his previous life had not changed much in the past ten years. It seemed to have developed a new city area. There was an eight-lane wide road there. However, the old city still had narrow two-lane roads. There were more people and more cars. In short, the development was very contradictory, and the room had never been raised. However, Luo Feng felt that this slow pace was just right. He could hold hands with Ai Tingya and walk slowly on the sidewalk instead of burying his head in his journey and not even taking another look at the small shop by the street. Ai Tingya had the same feeling. This year in school was indeed very tiring for her. Luo Feng had never heard her complain, but he knew with his eyes. During this semester, Ai Tingya carried her books and laptop no matter where she went. She had to go to the milk tea shop every day to take a look before she felt at ease. During the break, the employees were chatting at the side, so Ai Tingya sat alone in a corner. She was either reading or communicating with Song Anrong, wishing she could split herself in half. She had to grab hold of her learning career. It could be said that she was under a lot of pressure. If it were anyone else, they might have collapsed long ago. Only Ai Tingya not only survived, but she also grew under such a high burden. Under her management, the eight milk tea shops were operating normally. Moreover, according to Luo Feng¡¯s knowledge, Ai Tingya¡¯s results for this year¡¯s final exam were not bad. However, the better her results were, the more it meant that Ai Tingya was very tired. ¡°Why are you looking at me and smiling?¡± Ai Tingya noticed Luo Feng¡¯s gaze. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just feel that you¡¯ve worked too hard.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached and he felt a little guilty. ¡°Is there anything you want to eat or somewhere you want to go? I¡¯ll bring you there.¡± ¡°Want to eat¡­¡± Ai Tingya secretly glanced at Luo Feng and did not continue. ¡°I don¡¯t think you were very happy eating breakfast. Do you think it doesn¡¯t taste good?¡± Luo Feng asked. Ai Tingya was almost not picky about food. As long as it was in a bowl and could be eaten, she would eat it all, whether she liked it or not. This was a habit she had developed since she was young. She would never waste food. ¡°No.¡± Ai Tingya shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s just that the buns smell too good. They remind me of light boiled eggs.¡± In the past, when she was in high school, Mother Luo would prepare a boiled egg for Luo Feng every morning to replenish his nutrition. Luo Feng did not like it, so she gave it to Ai Tingya. At that time, a boiled egg was considered a delicacy to Ai Tingya, who had steamed buns and pickles every morning. Even now, Ai Tingya still thinks of that taste from time to time. Hearing this, Luo Feng¡¯s heart seemed to have been stung by a bee. When Ai Tingya talked about the arduous past, she could already talk about it calmly and emotionlessly. This meant that she no longer minded. In this aspect, Luo Feng could not compare to Ai Tingya. His heart would still ache. ¡°Buy some eggs when we get back. You can eat as many as you want!¡± Luo Feng patted his chest and promised. ¡°I¡¯ll cook them for you myself!¡± Ai Tingya chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s not that exaggerated. It was just a whim.¡± Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s small head. The two of them wandered aimlessly. No matter what food they saw on the way, Luo Feng had to ask Ai Tingya if she wanted to eat it. Ai Tingya tirelessly repeated that she didn¡¯t want to eat it for the time being. The two of them walked around and arrived at the entrance of the high school. This was the place where the two of them had agreed to be together after all. Many unforgettable things had happened in school. It was also here that Ai Tingya¡¯s fate began to change. Luo Feng glanced at Ai Tingya and saw that her face was also red. Chapter 214 - 214 The Changed Teacher Yu, Are You Alright? 214 The Changed Teacher Yu, Are You Alright? The two of them stood on the street outside the school gate. They felt an indescribable nostalgia for coming here again after half a year. The students of No.1 Middle School were probably on vacation, so it was quiet and empty. However, the streets outside the school were very lively, especially the Gu Ming Milk Tea Shop at the school gate. Even though Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had gone overseas to study, the milk tea shop was managed by Lu Zhao. Father and Mother Luo would occasionally come to take a look. Even though it had been almost a year since it opened, the business of the milk tea shop was still very good. Even though its income could not compare to Nanlin City and the university, it was still the most popular and business milk tea shop in Crown City. For example, even though the students of No.1 Middle School were on vacation, many students still came over to buy a cup. The two of them stood outside the door and looked around. Everything was stable inside, so they had no intention of entering. The employees in the shop were recruited by Lu Zhao after Xiao Fei and the others left after all. They might not know Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, so it was troublesome to explain. ¡°Luo Feng? Ai Tingya?¡± Just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind. They both turned to see a short, refined woman in wire-rimmed glasses looking at them. ¡°You¡¯re¡­¡± Luo Feng widened his eyes in surprise.¡± You¡¯re Teacher Yu! You¡¯ve gained weight? ¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Ai Tingya quickly covered Luo Feng¡¯s mouth and smiled awkwardly at Teacher Yu. However, it was too late. Teacher Yu heard it clearly and her face darkened. It was no wonder that Luo Feng made a fuss. In the past, Teacher Yu was short and thin. She always had a straight face and was so serious that she looked like she wanted to eat people. The students were most afraid of looking into her eyes. Her small body contained a considerable aura. Teacher Yu in front of him was fair and fat. There was a small dimple at the corner of her mouth when she smiled, and she exuded calmness and kindness from head to toe. It was no wonder that Luo Feng did not recognize her at first glance. Ai Tingya did not recognize her at first glance, let alone Luo Feng. Teacher Yu¡¯s face was flushed red, probably stimulated by Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s shocked gazes. She said unhappily, ¡°I¡¯m just happy.¡± ¡°Fatten?¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looked at each other. They had only been away for half a year. What did she eat to gain so much weight? ¡°Teacher Yu, are you alright?¡± Luo Feng was a little worried. It was abnormal for her to gain so much weight in just half a year. Could it be because she was under too much pressure? ¡°¡­ No, I¡¯m not sick¡­¡± Teacher Yu was even more unhappy. ¡°You can¡¯t hide your illness for fear of treatment,¡± Luo Feng muttered. ¡°You¡¯re a teacher, not a doctor.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so fat because of you!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± When Luo Feng heard this, he almost shouted that he was wronged. What did this have to do with him? He had already graduated and could no longer anger Teacher Yu. It was simply a black pot flying over. Seeing Luo Feng¡¯s ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense¡± expression, Teacher Yu silently stretched out the hand hidden behind her back. The bag she was carrying had the logo of Good Me printed on it. There were two large cups of milk tea inside, but she only took one straw. Teacher Yu was very environmentally friendly. She drank two glasses alone and did not waste any extra straws. ¡°¡­¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looked at each other. He finally understood what Teacher Yu meant. So she became fat from drinking milk tea! ¡°Do you understand?¡± Teacher Yu¡¯s heart ached. After saying that, she picked up the milk tea and drank it. Luo Feng hurriedly stopped her. ¡°No, Teacher, how much did you drink?¡± Even he, the boss, felt that it was ridiculous. Good Me¡¯s milk tea used genuine ingredients, but it was just like how the sugar content of freshly squeezed fruit juice was higher than fruits. A drink like milk tea was high in sugar and calories. Ordinary people would not grow fat like Teacher Yu if they drank two cups a week to satisfy their cravings. If not for the fact that Good Me¡¯s ingredients were good, Teacher Yu would have gone to the hospital to report if it were any other milk tea shop with all kinds of additives. Teacher Yu extended a finger sadly. ¡°Once a week?¡± Luo Feng frowned. This frequency should not be too much. ¡°One cup a day¡­¡± Teacher Yu took two more sips as she spoke. ¡°But you have two cups in your hand¡­¡± Ai Tingya could not help but complain. It would have been fine if he hadn¡¯t said anything, but Teacher Yu became even sadder. ¡°I was in a better mood today, so I bought two cups. They¡¯re all my favorite flavors.¡± It sounded ridiculous. When they were in school, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya knew many old customers. They liked to drink milk tea very much and wished they could hang milk tea. He was not as addicted as Teacher Yu. ¡°In order to drink milk tea, I threw away all the Green Mulberry Tea at home,¡± Teacher Yu said gloomily. Teachers all had occupational hazards and might talk all day. The Green Mulberry Tea was almost as important to the teacher as a lesson plan. Teacher Yu actually loved milk tea to such an extent! ¡°This¡­¡± Luo Feng did not know what to say. Logically speaking, milk tea was not an unhealthy drink. After all, sugar could increase one¡¯s happiness. However, according to Teacher Yu¡¯s drinking method, she would probably be poisoned even if she drank vanilla water¡­ For a moment, the two of them did not know what to say. For some reason, they felt that they had let their teacher down. However, Teacher Yu was still very open-minded and comforted herself. ¡°Sigh, because of this, I¡¯m quite close to the children in my class.¡± In the past, Teacher Yu had an unattainable sense of alienation because she was too serious. Now that she was rounder and drank her favorite milk tea every day, her happiness was about to overflow. She could not be fierce even if she wanted to. Occasionally, she would discuss the new taste of milk tea with her students. If there was a vote in the school, Teacher Yu would definitely be able to obtain the title of the most popular amongst students. Thinking of the pile of children in the class and looking at Luo Feng in front of him, Teacher Yu¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. She smiled and said, ¡°By the way, Luo Feng, do you have time for the New Year this year?¡± ¡°Yes, why?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve a new class of freshmen, don¡¯t I? That group of kids has just arrived at a new place. They¡¯re still fresh and can¡¯t calm down in class. I want you two outstanding seniors to teach him how to learn and motivate them.¡± Actually, this was not a new thing. If there was an outstanding student in the school, even the principal wished he could let this student go to every class to talk about learning methods. Luo Feng had also heard of it when he first entered high school. He had forgotten the details. Now that it was his turn to stand on the podium, it was fine to be honest. Luo Feng glanced at the quiet school and said, ¡°Sure, but I¡¯m on vacation now, right?¡± Even the students of the Third High School would let the students relax during the winter break. Teacher Yu was leading Class One now, so there shouldn¡¯t be any remedial classes, right? Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s words, Teacher Yu suddenly revealed a smug smile. Chapter 215 - 215 Your Juniors Need You For The Lecture! 215 Your Juniors Need You For The Lecture! ¡°Hehe, you don¡¯t know about this, right?¡± Teacher Yu was extremely proud. ¡°Ever since you became the top scholar, our school¡¯s leader placed more importance on the nurturing of outstanding students. He specially opened a separate rocket class. The top 50 scorers in the entire school are inside. I¡¯m the form teacher of the rocket class!¡± Luo Feng immediately understood. Even though in the future, it was advocated to reduce the burden on students and not allow the special classes to differentiate students, many schools would still give special attention to this aspect in order to increase the school¡¯s honor. In the few years when Luo Feng was studying, their school had a few key classes. However, at that time, the students in the few classes had similar results, and there were also students with good results in the other classes. In terms of average scores, everyone was actually about the same. However, a rocket class like the one that Teacher Yu was teaching brought all the good students together. The competition was also stronger, so that the top students could be even better. The school¡¯s education resources would be tilted, and good teachers would be gathered in the same class. This method was both good and bad. It was not something that Luo Feng could summarize with a sentence. However, Luo Feng was certain that the school leader must have been provoked by him, the top scholar. After all, people wanted to have something forever. ¡°So¡­ they¡¯re still studying?¡± Luo Feng could not bear to see them like this. He had done well once, causing his juniors to say goodbye to the holidays. This situation was like Teacher Yu¡¯s addiction to milk tea, making Luo Feng have mixed feelings. Would he really not be beaten up if he stood in front of his juniors? ¡°That¡¯s right! If you¡¯re free in the next two days, communicate with your juniors.¡± Teacher Yu was beaming. The reason why she gained weight was not entirely because of milk tea. If he wanted Luo Feng to be in the limelight at the end of the previous college entrance examination, he would not be able to be busy with the leaders¡¯ condolences and going to the local television station. Teacher Yu was not idle either. When Luo Feng ran to the city to open a new shop, Teacher Yu was praised by the school leaders and treated him to a meal. After all, the fact that the student could become the top scholar of the college entrance examination proved that she, as the form teacher, had taught him well. When people were in high spirits, their appetite naturally increased. In addition, a new student had just entered school. The parents who hoped for their child to become a dragon and a phoenix asked Teacher Yu and hoped that she could take care of their child more. There were still many such dinners after Teacher Yu pushed and pushed. It was natural for one to gain weight after eating too much oil and salt. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Luo Feng had nothing to refuse. Seeing that Luo Feng agreed so readily, Teacher Yu thought of the tricks he had played in class in the past and an ominous feeling suddenly enveloped her. However, she did not have time to think too much about it. Teacher Yu felt that it was a big deal to be able to let the top scholar of the college entrance examination teach the students alone. She had to prepare well. ¡°How about this? Go back first. I¡¯ll call you over when I¡¯ve made arrangements. Is that okay?¡± Teacher Yu was extremely excited. ¡°No problem.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Teacher Yu had already disappeared. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya did not see which direction she ran in. When they saw her again, Teacher Yu had long arrived at the school gate and was saying something to the guard. The two of them smiled helplessly. He dismissed the idea of going to school. Luo Feng brought Ai Tingya around the supermarket and bought some eggs and snacks before returning to the orphanage. Two days later, Teacher Yu called Luo Feng. Luo Feng put down the phone and immediately brought Ai Tingya to school. Unexpectedly, the guard still remembered Luo Feng. Before Luo Feng could explain why, the guard smiled and Easy made a note to let the two of them in. The two of them followed Teacher Yu¡¯s guidance and found the rocket class classroom. ¡°Isn¡¯t this our old classroom?¡± Ai Tingya looked at the familiar classroom door and the unfamiliar name tag in surprise. Teacher Yu¡¯s rocket class was on the first floor. However, he did not expect the classroom to be the one where Ai Tingya and Luo Feng were. This could not help but make the two of them feel a sense of familiarity. Luo Feng pointed at the first row in front of the podium and said, ¡°Do you remember? I applied to sit with you, but Teacher Yu caught me at the front.¡± A nostalgic expression appeared on Ai Tingya¡¯s face. It was unknown if the two of them had arrived too early or too quickly. There was no one in the classroom, and Teacher Yu had yet to arrive. It was not good to enter casually, so the two of them stood at the door and reminisced as they waited for their juniors. After a while, students sat in the classroom one after another. To Luo Feng¡¯s surprise, many students did not enter the classroom. Instead, they stood at the door with him. Gradually, the number of people surpassed the students of the same class. Teacher Yu had once told Luo Feng that it was for the students in his class. There were a total of three rocket classes in high school. Teacher Yu¡¯s class was Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s direct juniors, and the other classes were collateral relatives. Judging from the number of people, students from other classes should be here too. Actually, it was not that Teacher Yu was petty and secretly called Luo Feng to the school to teach only the children in her class. The entire high school was actually on holiday, and she had called the students back from Teacher Yu¡¯s class at the last minute, so she needed to prepare. She could make requests for her class, but she could only leave it up to the decisions of the students in the other classes. However, many people wanted to see the top scholar of the college entrance examination and came. However, there was no place for them. They could only hold the window and look in. ¡°So many people are here¡­¡± Ai Tingya asked curiously. ¡°Are they all here to listen to the class?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± A girl¡¯s stiff voice came from behind them. Luo Feng turned around and saw a round-faced little girl with a high ponytail standing by the window. She was relatively thin and was trying her best to squeeze in. However, there was a group of tall students surrounding the window. She could not squeeze in no matter how hard she tried. She also tried her best to answer Ai Tingya¡¯s question. Seeing that she was working so hard, Ai Tingya asked, ¡°What class are you here to listen to?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know this? You¡¯re a student from all walks of life!¡± The little girl rolled her eyes. As she squeezed in, she did not forget to explain, ¡°Of course I¡¯m listening to the legendary Senior Brother Luo Feng¡¯s lecture.¡± ¡°Legendary¡­¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes curved as she smiled at Luo Feng. How did she manage to call him that in front of him? It was a little funny. ¡°Are you all here to listen to the class?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Everyone in No.1 Middle School said that Senior Brother Luo Feng would come, but Teacher Yu from Class One called him over¡­¡± The little girl was a little disappointed. Luo Feng felt that he was not so amazing. He said honestly, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t think this thing is anything special¡­¡± He did not think that croaking for a while would have any effect. After all, he had been on stage and knew that the shelf life of many chicken blood was very short. He might have forgotten after hearing it, but he did not expect this group of children to be so serious. Chapter 216 - 216 You Dont Understand Senior Brother Luo Feng At All! 216 You Don¡¯t Understand Senior Brother Luo Feng At All! Luo Feng had never thought that a few words from him would bring these students anything. The reason why he agreed readily was because Teacher Yu had gained weight. One might be unable to do anything about losing weight when one reached middle-aged. Luo Feng seemed to have intensified this helplessness, so he was too embarrassed to refuse. The little girl was a little unhappy and did not fight for the position after hearing Luo Feng¡¯s retort. She placed her hands on her hips and said, ¡°What do you know? Do you know what kind of person Senior Brother Luo Feng is?¡± Luo Feng thought to himself that there was someone who knew Luo Feng better than him. He was speechless. ¡°Could it be that you know?¡± At the side, Ai Tingya bit her lips tightly because she really couldn¡¯t hold back her laughter. ¡°Of course! I came here for Senior Brother Luo Feng.¡± The little girl was very proud. ¡°Originally, I was going to a key provincial school, but I came here instead because this is Senior Brother Luo Feng¡¯s alma mater!¡± The little girl was a little disappointed as she spoke. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I made a mistake during the class allocation test and didn¡¯t get close to Teacher Yu¡¯s class. Otherwise, my Senior Brother and I would have advanced further!¡± This school might also be a key high school but it was still a little different from the key provincial school that the young lady mentioned. Not to mention anything else, the principal would have to celebrate with fireworks if four or five students could get into the top universities every year. He would even wake up laughing in his dreams. However, the key provincial high schools would be underperforming to have more than ten students advancing to top universities. It was normal for twenty to thirty students to pass. The fact that this arrogant girl in front of him could give up the chance to enter the key provincial school for Luo Feng meant that she really admired Luo Feng. The little girl said a few words and remembered something important. She then threw herself into snatching the seat by the window. Luo Feng looked around and realized that there were more and more people. He asked, ¡°Are you here to see Luo Feng too?¡± Everyone nodded. A boy standing in front said, ¡°That¡¯s right! There would definitely be more people if not for the holiday today. This student, you don¡¯t know, but Senior Brother Luo Feng is an example that everyone looks up to. He¡¯s definitely a legend!¡± Luo Feng was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Actually¡­ Luo Feng¡­ is also an ordinary person.¡± When the little girl heard this, she was unhappy again. She said angrily, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? If you don¡¯t understand Senior Brother Luo Feng, don¡¯t spout nonsense, okay?! Please use your heart to feel a person before evaluating him!¡± Luo Feng looked at the little girl¡¯s righteous expression and suddenly did not know what to say. It was still the same thing. In this world, he could not find anyone who knew Luo Feng better than him. He was Luo Feng himself after all! Luo Feng was a little embarrassed by his juniors¡¯ unwavering praises. He felt guilty. ¡°Ahem, regardless of whether you believe it or not, he¡¯s really an ordinary person.¡± ¡°What do you know!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know him!¡± Facing the questioning juniors, Luo Feng asked, ¡°So you guys understand him very well?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± The little girl smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m the president of Luo Feng¡¯s fan club in No.1 High School. Do you see the bicycle that Senior Luo Feng used in the exhibition room? I wiped it every day!¡± Luo Feng rode a bicycle to and from high school. After the college entrance examination results were released, the bicycle was taken away by the principal. He said that it was to be kept as a souvenir, but it turned out that it was placed in the school¡¯s exhibition¡­ Good God. Luo Feng exclaimed inwardly. It was fine if he wiped the bicycle. After all, his bicycle was quite new, but it was too much to have someone specific to wipe it everyday. Moreover, the school actually had such an organization. Didn¡¯t she say that she was busy with her high school studies? Did she have too little homework? The little girl looked at the stubborn student in front of her and could not believe that someone from No.1 Middle School still doubted Senior Luo Feng. Could it be that someone from another school had sneaked in? She decided to test them and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you join our fan club? We¡¯re a proper organization!¡± ¡°Proper?¡± Luo Feng expressed his doubts. ¡°Of course! Our fan club¡¯s philosophy is to follow Senior Brother Luo Feng¡¯s footsteps and enter a University of our choice! The members of the fan club often share their learning materials.¡± The little girl really wanted to recruit members. The little girl continued, seeing that the two people in front of her were unmoved. ¡°Fellow Student, think about it. Our Senior Brother Luo Feng is the top scorer of the college entrance examination, and his girlfriend is second! It¡¯s not a loss for you to be a fan of such a positive idol. You won¡¯t be fooled. When you go back and tell your parents, they will praise you!¡± ¡°Even if you¡¯re caught dating, as long as you mention learning from Senior Brother Luo Feng, your parents will understand!¡± Luo Feng could not believe it. What was going on? ¡°So the parents agreed to their relationship?¡± ¡°No, they¡¯re just exempt from a beating. They still have to be separated,¡± the little girl said shyly. ¡°After all, they can¡¯t get first or second place.¡± That¡¯s still alright, I guess¡­ Luo Feng was really worried that he would cause a bad influence on his juniors¡­ While Luo Feng was reflecting on his words and actions in the past and whether he had left any bad impressions, the young lady was bragging about her idol. ¡°Fellow Student, think about it. Go chase after celebrities. If you fall in love today and do tax evasion tomorrow, you might end up in jail. Spending money will affect your mood! However, if you join our fan club, not only will it not cost money, you will also have seniors to tutor you! Fellow Students will accompany you to improve your results!¡± ¡°Is it really that good?¡± Luo Feng was a little tempted. ¡°Of course! We¡¯re all learning from Senior Brother Luo Feng! I heard that when he was in school in the past, he often tutored his classmates, so their overall exam results were not bad!¡± The little girl was very proud. ¡°So, Senior Brother Luo Feng is definitely a high-quality idol!¡± She worked especially hard to promote Luo Feng¡­ to Luo Feng and his girlfriend. Luo Feng did not know how to reveal his identity. ¡°Actually, I¡­¡± ¡°Eh? Luo Feng, you¡¯re here so early. Why are you standing outside? Go in.¡± At this moment, Teacher Yu appeared to break the stalemate. She looked at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, who were standing outside. She did not expect these two children to be so shy. They were too embarrassed to enter her classroom in half a year. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Luo Feng and the little girl fell silent at the same time. This was especially true for the little girl who had been crackling and talking more forcefully than a firecracker just now. Now, she was like a mute and could not say a word. She was silent for a moment before looking at Luo Feng in a daze. She probed, ¡°Senior¡­ Senior Brother Luo Feng?¡± ¡°That¡¯s me¡­¡± Luo Feng was especially embarrassed. Not only because he did not reveal his identity in time, but also because the young lady praised him too much. He felt guilty! ¡°Slap!¡± The little girl suddenly slapped her own face. Her high ponytail swung up and hit the student behind her. She felt that she was really too ashamed to face anyone! She actually did not notice that the person she coveted was right in front of her! And what nonsense did she just say? Did she say that he didn¡¯t understand him?! Chapter 217 - 217 Listen To Senior Brother, Dont Learn From Me! 217 Listen To Senior Brother, Don¡¯t Learn From Me! The little girl¡¯s eyes darted around in panic, but she did not dare to look at Luo Feng. ¡°Actually¡­¡± Luo Feng scratched his head and said shyly, ¡°Thank you for liking me so much.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Thank you for liking me so much. However, I still want to tell you that Luo Feng is just an ordinary person. If you have to say that he¡¯s different, he¡¯s probably luckier than most people,¡± Luo Feng said solemnly. The little girl nodded in a daze. From her eyes, Luo Feng could tell that the little girl still did not understand. ¡°So as long as you work hard, you might be able to become someone more outstanding than Luo Feng,¡± Luo Feng said earnestly. Hearing this, the little girl¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I¡¯ll go in first.¡± Luo Feng waved at the little girl and brought Ai Tingya into the classroom. Teacher Yu had already organized the class rules and had been waiting for a long time. The students in the classroom straightened their backs and placed their hands on the desk. They were all sitting upright, waiting for Senior Luo Feng to lecture them. They stared curiously at Luo Feng¡¯s figure. Outside the window, it was even darker. The students were squeezed in the narrow corridor, all of them coming because of the reputation, wanting to see Luo Feng¡¯s glory. Only then did Luo Feng understand that the young lady was not exaggerating at all. He did not know how the school promoted him, but there were actually so many people listening to his lecture. Everyone seemed to be here to learn something. Luo Feng thought about it seriously for a moment and decided to give up on the information he had prepared previously and give everyone something new. He stood on the podium and Teacher Yu walked to the door. He stood in a row with Ai Tingya and looked proudly at the proud students on the stage. ¡°Hello, everyone. My name is Luo Feng. I believe everyone has more or less heard of my name. Let¡¯s have a small interaction here first. Classmates who don¡¯t know me at all, please raise your hands.¡± It was silent outside the classroom. No one moved. ¡°Okay, that means I didn¡¯t waste my three years in high school.¡± The students below the stage still had very serious expressions. The atmosphere in the classroom did not ease up as Luo Feng had expected. Luo Feng continued, ¡°Actually, I was a little hesitant before I came. What do you think I can talk about? Encourage you to study hard and get into a university? Speaking of which, this is all nonsense. Everyone went to high school to get into a university. Or could it be to experience life?¡± Teacher Yu, who was standing at the side, frowned. ¡°Should I tell you that after three years of hardship, it will be easy to get into university and after which will be able to get a good job when you step out into society?¡± Luo Feng recalled his previous life. He had also believed the nonsense of the teachers. After barely getting into university, he had started to let himself go. In the end, after graduating from university, he had not learned anything other than obtaining a graduation certificate. He regretted it and decided to expose his teacher¡¯s lies in public. ¡°That¡¯s all a lie. Actually, university is very tiring.¡± Upon hearing this, Teacher Yu took a deep breath and her expression turned a little ugly. The memories of the Oath-Taking Rally last year suddenly attacked her. Teacher Yu also regretted it! Luo Feng¡¯s halo of being the top scholar had blinded her. How could she have forgotten that Luo Feng was a person who would talk nonsense the moment he went on stage! Don¡¯t catch me off guard this time¡­ ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s much to say. Everyone who can sit in the classroom of the Rocket Class must have a goal and can persevere. If I say too much, it will only make you feel frustrated.¡± Luo Feng glanced out of the window. The little girl finally squeezed into the front row. ¡°However, I met a junior sister outside just now. She told me that many people like me and want to learn from me.¡± ¡°I suddenly thought of something to tell you¡ªdon¡¯t learn from me!¡± The students below the stage fell silent. Everyone looked at each other with confusion written all over their faces. To be honest, Luo Feng had only graduated for half a year, and the joy of the school¡¯s leaders had yet to pass. Naturally, many legends about him circulated on the campus, especially by those who were in Year Two and Year One. They were now Year Two and Year Three Students. They had all seen Luo Feng¡¯s bold actions at the oath-taking meeting. Many new students had also applied to No. 1 High School because of Luo Feng¡¯s name. They had indeed secretly treated Luo Feng as a role model. However, it was really confusing for him to break everyone¡¯s dream. Luo Feng looked at the students below the stage and smiled. ¡°You must want to ask why.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because I don¡¯t want to lie to everyone. To be honest, I¡¯m indeed not a good role model. No one can guarantee that their choice is definitely right, and neither can I. Everyone might have more or less heard that my grades in Year One and Year Two are always below average. This is because I was playful two years ago. I only started to work hard to improve after the Third High School.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just an exception even though the final result is good. For most people, if they were to ignore the first and second years of high school, they won¡¯t be able to catch up in the third year. Therefore, I hope that you won¡¯t imitate me. When you¡¯re in the first year of high school, you¡¯ll set your goal and work hard towards it!¡± Luo Feng spoke from the bottom of his heart, sincerely too. However, this was different from what the students had expected. They could not deny that Luo Feng was right, but they felt that it was inappropriate. ¡°I¡¯ll leave it at that since I believe everyone is smart.¡± Luo Feng suddenly glanced at Ai Tingya and smiled. ¡°On the other hand, everyone must have heard the story of me and my girlfriend¡­ or should I say fianc¨¦e now.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The students below the stage immediately became excited. Even Teacher Yu¡¯s eyes widened. Only then did she notice the ring on Ai Tingya¡¯s ring finger. When did the two of them decide to get married?! Everyone¡¯s boring study life was the same after all. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s love story was a classic story. It was more widely spread. ¡°But I still have to say that this is not worth you imitating.¡± Luo Feng said to pour cold water on them. The students felt like they were on a roller coaster. They were in a bad mood. To be honest, they felt that their legendary senior brother was not kind. The entire school knew about them dating, but he didn¡¯t allow them to learn from it. Luo Feng added, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not against your relationships. I¡¯ve been through this before. I understand that some emotions can¡¯t be resolved by restraint.¡± ¡°Here, I want to give you a few words of advice.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re a girl, when you want to fall in love, you have to understand that the only person who can protect you is yourself. This has nothing to do with the other party because the two of you still have a long way to go in the future. Don¡¯t ruin your future for a moment of impulse.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re a boy, I want to say that you need to understand that you¡¯re incompetent and powerless now. You can¡¯t survive without your parents. It¡¯s impossible for you to bear the responsibility of a girl¡¯s life. Responsibility! It¡¯s a man¡¯s eternal responsibility!¡± ¡°In short, I hope that the two of you can meet at the peak and not end up in high school. Don¡¯t do anything that you¡¯ll regret, understand?¡± Chapter 218 - 218 Silly Children, Thats How Imaginations Are Shattered 218 Silly Children, That¡¯s How Imaginations Are Shattered The students below the stage fell silent. In fact, there were many things that they might not be unaware of. It was just that they had not thought so much in the past. They were only in their teens after all. How many people could see far? Luo Feng¡¯s words were like an arrow in the fog, completely pointing out the problem they should face. Teacher Yu patted her chest in fear. She gritted her teeth just now, afraid that Luo Feng would encourage everyone to fight for love again. If that was the case, even if she embarrassed herself in public, she would go up and cover Luo Feng¡¯s mouth. It was rare for Luo Feng to be serious. He had indeed grown a lot after entering university. At this moment, a student raised his hand and said, ¡°Then, Senior Brother Luo Feng, do you regret it?¡± Luo Feng raised his head and revealed a surprised expression. ¡°What are you thinking? Only a fool would regret having a girlfriend like your Senior Sister Ai!¡± Teacher Yu held her forehead. She was happy too early. Luo Feng was only serious for three seconds before he returned to his original state. Teacher Yu sighed deeply at this familiar scene¡­ Looking at the students below who had just entered high school for half a year, it was obvious at a glance that they had not experienced anything. The expressions on their faces were very interesting when they faced their senior brother who did not follow the rules. Teacher Yu found it funny. If it were any other student from last year, they would be used to Luo Feng¡¯s public display of affection. Herself, for example. At the thought of this, Teacher Yu could not help but look at Luo Feng on the stage. This was what was meant by still being a young man after living for half a lifetime. Luo Feng¡¯s original intention had always been strange. Teacher Yu sighed again. After half a year, she actually missed Luo Feng¡¯s public display of affection. Life in high school was boring and stressful. The students complained endlessly, and so did the teachers. However, many interesting things had happened in Luo Feng¡¯s batch. Thinking about it now, Teacher Yu still couldn¡¯t bear to part with Luo Feng. However, this year¡¯s juniors were all rebellious and very unconvinced. A male student stood up and said, ¡°Senior, what do you mean? Do you think you can fall in love as long as you find a girl like Senior Ai?¡± These words pulled Teacher Yu out of her memories, scaring her so much that she broke out in cold sweat. She stared straight at Luo Feng, begging him to say something reliable and not to blow smoke, to be full of it! ¡°Your words are not wrong¡­¡± Luo Feng was sincere. ¡°However, it¡¯s a pity that such a rare good girl is already mine. You guys should study obediently, hahaha.¡± The students were speechless. In the past, he had only heard that Senior Brother Luo Feng¡¯s results were extraordinary and unique. He did not expect him to be unique in terms of asking for a beating. There was no one in No.1 High School who did not know that he had a good girlfriend. Was there a need to kill them like this? Could he leave some room for his juniors? Ai Tingya had been standing obediently by the podium and acting as a backdrop without saying a word. As she listened to Luo Feng¡¯s words, she became more and more smug. Ai Tingya went forward and pushed Luo Feng away. Then, she stood on the podium herself. Teacher Yu¡¯s expression finally improved a little. Compared to Luo Feng, Ai Tingya was much more reliable. If she had known earlier, she would have let her go up and interact with her juniors. This would have saved Luo Feng from disturbing the morale of the army! It would have delayed the examination. Ai Tingya¡¯s explanation was very standard. She shared some of her learning methods and the learning time she had planned in the past. Other than studying at a fixed time in school every day, he would also study for one to two hours when he returned home. He would also wake up an hour early in the morning. In short, other than eating and sleeping, he was basically reading writing questions. It was boring but studying was boring to begin with. Some students felt that Ai Tingya¡¯s schedule was very valuable, so they specially noted it down and prepared to follow this. Teacher Yu heaved a sigh of relief. After waiting for so long, she finally saw the effect she wanted. ¡­ After the two of them finished speaking, to be honest, the effect was not as good as expected, but Teacher Yu felt that it was enough. Thinking back to how the two of them had boldly confessed in front of the entire school, if they were to do the same today, Teacher Yu might not be able to control the situation. No effect might be the best effect. ¡°These silly children finally know what kind of person their idol, Senior Brother Luo Feng, is.¡± Teacher Yu sent the two of them to the school gate. Along the way, she did not stop smiling. To be honest, many students who came for Luo Feng imitated Luo Feng according to the legends. It was fine if they were determined to be the top scorer, but some even wanted to fight for love like Luo Feng. Because of this, Teacher Yu drank two more cups of milk tea worriedly. However, speaking of which, even though Luo Feng¡¯s words were sometimes unreliable, he was sincere. Just as he had said, not everyone was as lucky as Luo Feng. There could be many aspects to this. However, he had gone to the same university as Ai Tingya and was now living a carefree life because of his hard work. As they walked, Teacher Yu suddenly turned around and looked at the teaching building. There were rows of square-shaped windows, but the electric lights in their classroom were still on. The children must still be doubting their lives in the classroom. After all, disillusionment was a must in life. ¡°So that¡¯s why you called me here?¡± Luo Feng was deeply surprised. In just half a year, Teacher Yu had evolved into a brain circuit that he could not understand. To think that he had confided in her! ¡°What else? Do you know how much I¡¯ve been worried about you and Ai Tingya?¡± Teacher Yu was tired just thinking about it. ¡°If there are a few more boys like you, how can a woman like me hold on?¡± Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya and realized that she was also looking at him. In fact, even though they were under a lot of pressure in high school, their relationship was still very sweet. However, this was quite unorthodox for the students. The fact that they could only worry about studying and dating meant that Teacher Yu had secretly blocked many criticisms and pressures. If it were another rigid teacher, they might have transferred the two of them the next day. One was at the end of the corridor, and the other was at the end of the corridor. In short, they would be separated as far as possible. Teacher Yu had created a relatively tolerant environment for them, so no one dared to criticize Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. Now that Teacher Yu had become the top scorer mentor, it seemed glorious. If Luo Feng performed slightly abnormally during the college entrance examination and failed to fulfill his promise, Teacher Yu might be labeled as ¡°incompetent in teaching¡±. Luo Feng was well aware of this kindness. Even though he did not say it explicitly, he respected his teacher. ¡°To be honest, Teacher Yu, did you become a boring form teacher after Tingya and I graduated?¡± Luo Feng said with a cheeky smile. Teacher Yu¡¯s eyes darted around. Thinking about it, that seemed to be the case. Being Luo Feng¡¯s form teacher could be said to be a combination of opportunities and risks, but it was indeed exciting. Even though this group of children was rebellious this year, according to their past experience, they would quickly become obedient and lose a lot of interest. Chapter 219 - 219 Powerful Enemy Attack, Luo Fengs Solutions 219 Powerful Enemy Attack, Luo Feng¡¯s Solutions Teacher Yu missed Luo Feng¡¯s batch of students, but she definitely wouldn¡¯t say it out loud. ¡°Don¡¯t flatter yourself. Teaching you will take a lot of effort. It¡¯s enough for me to teach two Ai Tingyas!¡± Teacher Yu glanced at Ai Tingya, who was smiling obediently. She was sincerely happy for this hardworking and pitiful girl. ¡°Of course!¡± Luo Feng chuckled and climbed up the ladder. ¡°My Tingya is famous for being obedient. Unfortunately, she¡¯s unique. She¡¯s the one and only in the world!¡± ¡°You idiotic boy!¡± The three of them chatted and laughed as they unknowingly arrived at the school gate. Teacher Yu still had to go back and highlight the key points for the students. She could not send them far away. Watching the two of them walk away hand in hand, Teacher Yu¡¯s eyes suddenly turned hot as she shouted, ¡°Hey! I¡¯m also considered a matchmaker for the two of you. Remember to send me an invitation when you get married!¡± ¡°Got it!¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya turned around and waved. They did not forget to remind him, ¡°Drink less milk tea and exercise more!¡± Teacher Yu was originally a little sad, but when she heard this, she was so angry that she laughed. She waved her hand and chased them away. ¡°Hurry up and leave. Be careful when you go back!¡± ¡°Teacher, take care too!¡± Teacher Yu stood rooted to the ground and watched as the two of them walked further and further away. In the end, they disappeared from her sight. Suddenly, she felt a lump in her throat and could not help but sob. She knew in her heart that this was a scene that a teacher had to face. After sending off batch after batch of students, Teacher Yu originally thought that she was already numb to separation. However, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya might be special to her. She sniffed and turned to walk towards the classroom. In the blink of an eye, the noisy new students diluted the sadness of the old students leaving. Teacher Yu stood at the door and saw the children discussing fervently. She immediately displayed the dignity of a teacher. ¡°What are you doing? Shouldn¡¯t you self-study when I¡¯m not around?¡± The classroom instantly fell silent. A student raised his hand weakly and said, ¡°Teacher Yu, didn¡¯t you say that we were only here to listen to Senior Brother¡¯s speech?¡± The subtext was to ask if they could go back. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, study for a while before leaving. If you want to be like Luo Feng, you have to study hard!¡± Teacher Yu glanced at the students. ¡°Why are you looking at me? Do I have words on my face! Study your textbooks!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The students lowered their heads obediently, feeling bitter in their hearts. ¡­ After a friendly exchange with his juniors, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had nothing to do. The two of them ate and slept together in the orphanage. Every day, they would stick together. During the day, Ai Tingya would help Dean Du. In her spare time, she would tutor the children with their winter homework. Luo Feng played games with the children. In a few days, he became the king of children, and his status was close to Xiao Fei¡¯s. He even brought the children to reclaim the vegetable fields in the backyard. They fertilized the soil and raised the farmland until it was black and shiny. They were only waiting for spring to sow seeds. A leisurely pastoral life. The two of them were so happy that they forgot about home. Originally, the two of them had planned to have a quiet New Year. Ai Tingya had been busy with her business for an entire year after all. She was also extremely busy with her studies and the company. Even though Luo Feng was a hands-off manager at the gathering place and occasionally went to grasp the general direction, he was the one who did the expansion of the milk tea shop. All in all, they were very tired and needed a good rest. Unfortunately, Xie Yan did not give Luo Feng a chance. On this day, Luo Feng was telling stories to the children when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng picked up the phone. ¡°Luo Feng! Come back quickly!¡± Xie Yan went straight to the point, his voice very anxious. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Are You Hungry announced that they are going to expand to our city! Didn¡¯t you see the news?¡± Xie Yan was so anxious that he could even hear his footsteps. He did not know about Are You Hungry at first. In fact, only Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had heard of Are You Hungry in the entire company. Ai Tingya had heard it from Yan Kaize. After all, Are You Hungry was worlds apart from the place where they studied. Luo Feng knew about this company and knew that it would develop very well in the future. It had almost become a national delivery software. However, in his previous life, Are You Hungry¡¯s rapid advancement would take four to five years. However, the rapid expansion was a rather powerful enemy for Gather Sift Takeaway. What¡¯s more, the expansion this time was quite high-profile. Xie Yan usually paid attention to news reports in this aspect. The sudden appearance of a powerful foreign giant immediately alerted him and he immediately decided to call Luo Feng! Luo Feng felt tired when he heard that. What was wrong with Are You Hungry¡¯s higher-ups? Why did they specially choose to expand during the new year? Couldn¡¯t they wait until after the new year? At the very least, they could let everyone eat a New Year¡¯s Eve dinner in peace and enjoy the joy of being reunited with their families. They simply did not care about morals! However, from another perspective, if Luo Feng was Are You Hungry, he might also agree to the proposal to expand during the new year. After all, Gather Sift Takeaway was developing too quickly. If he wanted to counterattack, he would definitely pick a time when the opponent relaxed. Moreover, there was one thing that Luo Feng could not deny. Are You Hungry was very similar to the location bought outside the gathering. Both of them started from universities. The first target customers were university students. After all, in the online food delivery market, there were only two target groups. One was students, and the other was white-collar workers. Now, Gather Sift Takeaway coincided with Are You Hungry¡¯s target customer. If Are You Hungry wanted to expand into the foreign market, he would definitely choose to raise funds first. When he had enough funds, he would then invest in the battle. Gather Sift Takeaway might not suffer a huge blow, but at least he could not let his opponents have an easy time. ¡°Luo Feng, I asked someone to ask around. Are You Hungry has invested a lot of money and is already hiring a large number of deliverymen. They¡¯re coming aggressively! Come back quickly.¡± Xie Yan¡¯s voice was hoarse. He had not slept well for two days because of this. ¡°Is that so?¡± Luo Feng was light-hearted, as if he did not care at all. This surprised Xie Yan. Why was Luo Feng¡¯s reaction so calm? ¡°Aren¡¯t you anxious?¡± Xie Yan said anxiously, ¡°Others are already at the door. We have to do something!¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Luo Feng thought for a while calmly and said slowly, ¡°Do something¡­ what should I do?¡± Xie Yan was about to die from anxiety, but after urging him for a long time, he finally had a normal reaction. He couldn¡¯t wait to ask, ¡°What are you going to do?¡± ¡°Did you work overtime? I¡¯ll pay you three times the normal salary if you work overtime in my company.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s sudden words almost made Xie Yan unable to react. ¡°That¡¯s not what I¡¯m talking about¡­¡± Xie Yan didn¡¯t know whether to be happy or worried. However, Luo Feng acted as if he did not hear him and reminded himself, ¡°There¡¯s also our company¡¯s delivery men. We can¡¯t let them work for nothing during the New Year. From now on, for every order they send, we¡¯ll give them some New Year¡¯s allowance. Write down these additional expenses and charge them to my account. Don¡¯t use the company¡¯s money.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xie Yan frowned and felt that there was something wrong with his ears. Chapter 220 - 220 The Delivery Men Met, Your Benefits Are Not Bad 220 The Delivery Men Met, Your Benefits Are Not Bad Xie Yan looked at his phone with mixed feelings and said very seriously, ¡°Luo Feng, can you not interrupt me if I talk about Are You Hungry again?¡± Unexpectedly, Luo Feng was even more serious than him. ¡°I¡¯m also talking about Are You Hungry. Isn¡¯t this a solution?¡± Xie Yan did not know where to find fault with the plan Luo Feng had given him because there were too many problems. He said that he could not come one by one! Now, Xie Yan finally understood how Ai Tingya felt. Luo Feng really liked to spend money! Unfortunately, Xie Yan did not know the deeper meaning behind Luo Feng¡¯s actions. He was really solving the problem the company was facing. The reason why Are You Hungry was so aggressive and high-profile was that the entire industry knew its name. Wasn¡¯t it because it had just been financed and had abundant funds? Luo Feng wanted to make the best use of his time to get the money back. If not for the fact that he was afraid of scaring Xie Yan, Luo Feng even wanted to give him five times the salary. Even though it might not add up to much money, Luo Feng did not mind. Most importantly, it could increase the cohesion of the employees. They would definitely not be able to find a boss who was more generous than Luo Feng in any other company. Previously, when he was bored, Luo Feng had calculated that with the return money and the income from the milk tea, he now had about 400 million yuan. This money was enough if he had to fight Are You Hungry for a while. However, with Luo Feng¡¯s personality, passive Defense was only temporary. Taking the initiative to attack was in line with his style. Are You Hungry coveted the city they were in, and Luo Feng had taken a fancy to Shanghai. He wanted to spend the winter vacation leisurely for now. ¡­ Are You Hungry was silently infiltrating the new city while Xie Yan was rendered speechless by Luo Feng. Are You Hungry hired a large number of delivery men in the new city. In less than a week, Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery men in light blue uniforms appeared on the streets and alleys. Oxford University, on the other hand, was one of the places where the delivery men were most concentrated. Even though it was winter break, there were still many graduate students and doctoral students who stayed behind to do courses. The number of takeaways might not be comparable to when school started, but compared to other places, this was also a place where takeaways were plenty. Moses was a student from a nearby university. After the holidays, he came out to work part-time. He didn¡¯t expect to coincidentally encounter salary increases and allowances. He worked happily every day. He carried the takeout to the dormitory building at Oxford University, his hands under his sleeves calculating how much he would get paid today. ¡°Deliverymen can¡¯t enter. Get the students to come down and get it.¡± The dormitory manager was conscientious. They would take the last stand as long as there was a student in the dormitory building. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait by the side, okay?¡± Moses called his customer and stood aside, waiting. Coincidentally, a delivery man in a blue uniform also stopped downstairs. After making a call to the customers, he stood beside Moses. Peers were the first to know about peers. Moses also heard that a delivery company called Are You Hungry had come. Usually, he could see delivery men in blue uniforms when he worked. Even though the two companies were competitors, that was the business of the bosses. The employees below were all workers, so they couldn¡¯t compete with each other. Therefore, when they met, they would still smile politely or chat. The two of them waited. It seemed a little awkward to stand together and not speak. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man suddenly handed over a cigarette and smiled. ¡°Brother, do you want a cigarette?¡± Moses shook his head. ¡°Thanks. Can¡¯t smoke.¡± The delivery man from Are You Hungry put a cigarette in his mouth and was about to light it when Moses reminded him, ¡°Customers might not like the smell of smoke. It¡¯s not too late to smoke after the goods are delivered.¡± There were not many college students who smoked, and some of them did not like the smell of cigarettes. Gather Sift Takeaway would regularly train the delivery men, and every month, they would also give feedback on the reason for the complaint. Moses might be working part-time, but he also attended training classes. The delivery man Are You Hungry felt the same way and stuffed the cigarette back into his mouth. He saw that Moses was young and knew a lot about rules. Then, he looked at Moses¡¯ equipment. Not only was his Helmet and uniform the same color, even his electric scooter was printed with the logo of Gather Sift Takeaway. It was obvious that it was custom-made by the company. It was a complete set from head to toe and looked very high-class. The delivery man from Are You Hungry looked at himself again. Other than the vest on his body that belonged to the company, everything else belonged to him. It was indescribably shabby. It was fine if they didn¡¯t meet normally, but when they stood together, the difference was too obvious. ¡°You have a very comprehensive set of clothes,¡± the delivery man from Are You Hungry said with a smile. To be honest, he was a little envious. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s from the company.¡± ¡°The company gave it to you? The deposit should be very expensive, right?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man asked. Speaking of depositing money, he suddenly felt less envious. Everyone who opened a company was smart and would definitely not spend money for nothing after all. Not to mention anything else, if that electric car was scratched the company could use this reason to deduct money. In the end, they would not even let go of the employees¡¯ money. ¡°Is it expensive?¡± Moses looked at his clothes. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I didn¡¯t give any deposit¡­¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t give any deposit?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was stunned, his face full of disbelief. He was a delivery man himself, but he bought his own electric car. He even bought a second-hand one because the new one was too expensive. Its appearance and performance could not compare to Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s. ¡°Our company only distributes equipment after signing the contract. They didn¡¯t say that we had to pay. However, if you resign, you have to return these to the company,¡± Moses explained. Actually, when he first found out about this rule, he was a little surprised. After all, he was only a part-timer. He did not expect the company to treat everyone equally. ¡°That¡¯s normal.¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man felt a little more balanced. Even though he had spent some money on his things, they were still his. He could use them however he wanted. ¡°But if I¡¯ve worked for the company for a full year, these things can be given to the employees,¡± Moses said, looking at his car. ¡°I wonder if I get the same benefits as a part-timer?¡± This casual conversation gave the Are You Hungry delivery man a heavy blow. Before the smile could appear on his face, it immediately collapsed. ¡°Give to the employees? You¡¯re not joking, are you?¡± ¡°Of course not. It¡¯s written in the contract,¡± Moses replied very seriously. If he had the contract at hand, he would definitely show it to the other party. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man gulped enviously. He was still a little unwilling. He had to find something to balance himself out. ¡°By the way, brother, how much can you earn per order?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man asked. Under normal circumstances, if the company¡¯s benefits were good, the salary would be lower. After all, the boss had to earn money, especially for a small company that had just been established. The boss treated himself and his employees equally. ¡°Well¡­¡± Moses didn¡¯t want to say it. The two of them stood under the same roof for a few minutes. It was a little rude to ask about the salary. He originally wanted to refuse, but he did not expect the other party to reveal his salary first. Chapter 221 - 221 Well, We Have High Salaries and Good Benefits 221 Well, We Have High Salaries and Good Benefits ¡°I earn five yuan per meal.¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man expressed his sincerity first. To be honest, he was quite satisfied with this salary. He could earn 200 to 300 yuan a day by delivering 40 to 50 orders after all. If he worked hard, he could earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. This salary was very impressive for ordinary people even in a first-tier city. Moses thought for a moment, then hesitantly held out two fingers. ¡°Two yuan for one order?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was still a little happy. This was in line with the operating methods of most companies. If the benefits were better, the salary would naturally be lower. Moses shook his head. ¡°Two yuan more than me?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man couldn¡¯t smile. His brows were knitted together. But Moses still shook his head. ¡°Aiya, you should just tell me. I can¡¯t guess.¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man became anxious. ¡°Twice your amount.¡± ¡°You mean 10 yuan per order?¡± ¡°Right!¡± Actually, it was not that high usually. It was just that during the holidays, the company said that they sympathized with the employees who insisted on staying on the front-line and had improved a lot on the original foundation. And that was if Moses didn¡¯t consider the subsidies. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man trembled as he took out a cigarette from his pocket. He put it in his mouth and reached for the lighter. His trembling hands were unable to light it up. ¡°Why are you smoking again?¡± Moses reminded him kindly. ¡°The customers are coming down soon.¡± ¡°No, no¡­¡± Are You Hungry gulped. ¡°I must smoke one to calm down. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± However, his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn¡¯t light a cigarette no matter how hard he tried. He could only smell the tobacco and sigh instead of blowing smoke rings. He sighed a few times. The delivery man from Are You Hungry looked at Moses, who didn¡¯t understand what was going on, and his heart was filled with endless sadness. Initially, he thought that five yuan per order was quite a lot. Two to three hundred yuan a day was already not bad for his current salary. It was just a little tougher. However, he could comfort himself that there was no work that was not hard. It was a reward for his hard work. However, people shouldn¡¯t compare themselves to others. Comparisons were infuriating. After hearing about the treatment of Gather Sift Takeaway, Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man instantly felt unbalanced! ¡°Do you guys¡­ usually earn this much?¡± he asked with some difficulty. ¡°That¡¯s not the case. Usually, each order gives us only five to six yuan. Isn¡¯t it just in time for the New Year? The boss gave us subsidies.¡± Moses didn¡¯t hide anything. In that case, Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man felt a little better. It seems like¡­ maybe¡­ 80% similar¡­ it seems like¡­ there was not much difference¡­ The delivery man from Are You Hungry covered his face. He couldn¡¯t convince himself¡­ They had subsidies for the new year! Why didn¡¯t their company give them any? Shouldn¡¯t the new company receive better treatment in order to keep people¡¯s hearts? If he hadn¡¯t met the other company today, he wouldn¡¯t have known that there would be subsidies! At this point, Moses decided to say more. ¡°When I was in school, I worked part-time. I could earn four to five thousand a month.¡± He said regretfully, ¡°I have a lot of homework and don¡¯t have much free time. I heard from my seniors in our company that he works full-time and can earn more than 60,000 yuan in three months.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man widened his eyes and was so shocked that he couldn¡¯t speak! Working part-time after school¡­ a lot of homework¡­ and could still earn four to five thousand yuan a month! If he was diligent, he could earn 60,000 yuan every three months. Wouldn¡¯t that be 20,000 yuan a month? Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man gulped. ¡°How many orders can you deliver in a day?¡± ¡°Aha, I¡¯m just a part-timer. My work orders do not have any reference value.¡± Moses scratched his head. Previously, in order to prepare for the end of the semester, he had not delivered food for two months. However, seeing that the other party was about to overflow with curiosity, he thought for a moment and said, ¡°Let me give you a rough estimate from my senior. If you deliver 200 orders a day, you¡¯ll earn more than 10,000 yuan in a month.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, our company¡¯s year-end bonus is quite generous. This senior seems to have received 20,000 yuan.¡± When the delivery man from Are You Hungry heard about the 20,000 yuan year-end bonus, he felt that it was quite explosive. However, it still couldn¡¯t compare to the impact of 200 orders. 200 orders was quite a lot! Delivery was still in its infancy. The route planning was not that precise, so delivery was naturally slower. 200 orders meant that the delivery man was on the road from morning to night. He was also a delivery man and knew how tiring it was to run around non-stop. He could deliver a maximum of 60 orders a day with his best efforts. However, half of the reason was that he was a newbie and was unfamiliar with the road conditions, the other half was because he was really tired. ¡°My family¡¯s financial situation isn¡¯t very good. My parents scrimped and saved, and they used all the money in the family to support my studies. But at the beginning of the year, my father fell ill, and my family¡¯s financial situation became even worse¡­¡± Moses subconsciously talked about his family¡¯s matters. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was suddenly moved. He was a middle-aged man who had just been laid off. His family was waiting for him to earn money to eat. ¡°You look young. It¡¯s not easy for you either¡­¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man patted Moses on the shoulder. Moses smiled shyly. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s fine. Being able to find a part-time job with such a high salary can reduce the burden on my family. Sometimes, I even want to skip class to earn money.¡± ¡°Sigh! You can¡¯t think that way. You¡¯re a university student. There¡¯s a better future waiting for you!¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man said melancholically. ¡°At the end of the day, it¡¯s very difficult to last¡­¡± If Luo Feng was here, he would agree with him. This was because it was really hard to be a delivery man. Even in the future, they would still earn hard-earned money. Moreover, they would often be looked down upon by others and be called an unseemly job. If he had a choice, he wouldn¡¯t have become a delivery man. As the two of them chatted, the students who had ordered takeout finally came down. They handed them over to their customers and rode the electric scooter out of the school together. The two of them hit off quite well. Their work was usually very boring. After knowing that the other party did not send any urgent orders, they slowly turned to the side path and chatted as they walked. At this moment, a scream exploded behind him! ¡°Help! Someone¡¯s robbing us! It¡¯s a robbery!¡± Both deliverymen turned at the same time to see a young woman standing under a tree, clutching her face helplessly and screaming loudly. Beside her, a motorbike roared on and on. A man wearing a helmet grabbed the woman¡¯s handbag and forcefully pulled it off! Then, he twisted the accelerator and ran towards the two delivery men. The woman was thrown to the ground. She got up, and staggered after him. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man pushed the vehicle forward, wanting to stop him. The man also sensed his intentions. He touched his waist with one hand and revealed a fruit knife that flickered with a cold light. The robber¡¯s fierce gaze landed on their faces like a laser through the black helmet. He roared, ¡°Get lost!¡± Chapter 222 - 222 Fighting for Justice! Your Company Is Really Good! 222 Fighting for Justice! Your Company Is Really Good! The robber¡¯s eyes were fierce, and Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man felt a chill run down his spine. At that moment, the shiny silver fruit knife evoked many thoughts in his mind. He admitted that he was afraid; not of death but for his family. If something happened to him, what would happen to his wife and children at home? The middle-aged man had a lot of burdens. If he fell, the sky at home would collapse. Letting the robbers go might make him feel guilty. But he had no choice! He could not let anything happen to him! Clenching the handle with both hands, Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man pushed his vehicle backwards to make room for the robbers. He turned his face to the greenery. The rapid wind whistled past his face, but the fruit knife was not pulled out. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man seemed to have seen the robber¡¯s sinister smile and actually felt a little glad. ¡°He¡¯s robbing me! Stop him!¡± shouted the girl who had been robbed. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man closed his eyes and turned a blind eye. He had no guts¡­ Bang! A crisp sound exploded behind him. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man turned his head in shock and saw Moses¡¯ electric scooter rushing onto the robber¡¯s motorcycle. His right hand, which was holding the accelerator tightly, kept twisting and accelerating. The robber passed by one person and thought that his escape would be smooth. He did not expect someone would dare to stop him. He was caught off guard and the motorcycle lost its balance and fell on the greenery! Moses was still accelerating, forcing the man and his vehicle to the center of the green belt. He pounced forward, removed the robber¡¯s helmet, and punched his face before he could react! The robber gritted his teeth like a fierce tiger and reached for the fruit knife at his waist. ¡°Ah! He has a knife!¡± The victim who caught up covered his face and screamed. In that instant! Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man pounced forward and pressed down on the robber¡¯s hand that was holding the knife. He smashed his wrist and bent his fingers before finally snatching the weapon. ¡°How dare you rob someone! How dare you rob someone!¡± Moses didn¡¯t seem to notice the danger just now. He punched the robber¡¯s face. The other party¡¯s face was visibly swollen. Two punches landed on his temples and he gradually lost the ability to resist. He lay on the ground and groaned half-dead. ¡°Enough, enough¡­¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was worried that Moses would beat him to death, so he hurriedly persuaded him. Moses calmed down a little and untied the back seat rope. He tied the robber¡¯s arm behind his back and suddenly laughed happily. ¡°Phew¡­ Phew¡­¡± He did not expect that he could really subdue this person. Thinking about it, he felt a little scared and excited. His hands trembled slightly because he used too much strength, and he could not hide his excitement. ¡°Thank you! Thank you!¡± The little girl picked up her handbag with tears in her eyes and hugged it tightly. ¡°Thank you, both of you. This bag is filled with documents from my company. My job will be over if it¡¯s snatched away. Thank you!¡± The little girl bowed repeatedly, not knowing how to thank the two of them. She took a look at Moses¡¯s electric scooter. The plastic casing in front of the front of the bike was all rotten. The gap between the wheels of the scooter was deformed. It looked like it was useless. ¡°Your vehicle is damaged¡­¡± The little girl said sadly. She had just started working, and her salary was only two to three thousand yuan a month. Judging from the damage to the electric car, it should cost a lot of money. The little girl was short of money, but she still took out her wallet and gave him the only 300 yuan she had and a business card. She handed it to Moses and said, ¡°This is money for the repair. I know it¡¯s not enough. This is my phone number.¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man accidentally saw the inside of the wallet. Other than three bills, there were only two or three pieces of change left. She did not look rich judging from her dressing. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man had done good deeds when he was young. The recipient ran away without saying a word, let alone taking the initiative to thank him. Actually, he didn¡¯t need the other party to express anything, but he had run away without a word. This was too disappointing. Therefore, from then on, when he was about to attack again, he would always think about it. Just as Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was deep in thought, Moses spoke. ¡°No.¡± He pushed back the young woman¡¯s money. ¡°The company will take responsibility for my losses. You needn¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I¡¯m serious. You don¡¯t have to compensate.¡± Moses was quite proud when he said this. ¡°If you really want to thank me, you can order more takeout from our company in the future.¡± He showed the logo of Gather Sift Takeaway on his uniform. ¡°Really?¡± The little girl wasn¡¯t convinced, thinking that Moses was trying to comfort her. She looked at Moses seriously and then looked at the logo of Gather Sift Takeaway seriously. She suddenly thought of something. ¡°I know this takeaway company!¡± At this moment, the police arrived at the scene. It might have been the passerby who called the police. All three of them were involved parties and followed the police in taking their statements. By the time they could leave, it was already dark outside. The two of them parked their electric scooter in the courtyard of the police station. After the formalities, they could directly bring them away. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man pushed his own scooter and looked at Moses¡¯s unusable electric scooter. ¡°Your vehicle can¡¯t be used anymore, right? I still need to do a few more orders. What about you?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man said, ¡°My friend is resting today. I can help you ask if he can lend you his vehicle.¡± He still admired Moses, especially when he himself had backed down. He had the courage to help only because Moses was brave enough to fight the robbers. Otherwise, he would regret it later. What¡¯s more, customers would gather at night to order takeout. If they worked hard, they might be able to make up for the delay. Usually, delivery men would choose to move out collectively at mealtimes. ¡°Ah, never mind. I¡¯d better deal with this vehicle first.¡± Moses laughed. This car had been brought back for a period of time. He had maintained it very well. It had been left unused for more than a month previously. It looked like it was new, but it looked like it could not be used anymore. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man looked at the scrapped electric car and said with heartache, ¡°It would cost a lot of money to repair it.¡± He had already spent more than a thousand yuan on the second-hand electric scooter he had bought himself. The electric scooter of Gather Sift Company was obviously very well-equipped. It would cost at least four thousand yuan. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but the company will take care of it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man revealed the same expression as the little girl. ¡°Really?¡± He thought that Moses had said it to comfort the young lady. How could this be true? Was there really such a humane company? Moses nodded seriously. ¡°It¡¯s true. Our company has a clear rule that they will bear the losses of acting bravely. I don¡¯t have to care about the vehicle.¡± ¡°Would they guarantee that it could be fixed?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily the case.¡± ¡°I told you the company wouldn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s also possible to directly replace it with a new one. It depends on the company¡¯s discretion.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be!¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man began to doubt his life. He stared at Moses¡¯ face, trying to see if he was joking. He looked left and right, but the other party was so sincere that it was scary. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as someone fixes it. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s not easy to take on orders these two days.¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man heaved a sigh of relief for Moses. His heart was still feeling a little sour. Chapter 223 - 223 We Are Colleagues From Now On! 223 We Are Colleagues From Now On! Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was genuinely concerned about Moses. The other party¡¯s company looked more humane than his own. It was impossible not to be jealous. However, Moses was also very brave. The other party had a knife and could charge forward bravely. If the company was willing to take responsibility for the losses, it could be considered that good people had good karma. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any losses, right?¡± Moses was secretly delighted because he could slack off recently. ¡°Not only will our company reimburse the losses, we will also give a reward for acting bravely. It will definitely be more than what I earn in a week.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man widened his eyes. It was getting more and more ridiculous! Moses thought for a moment and said, ¡°The act would also be included in the calculation of the year-end bonus. Hehe, maybe I can go on stage to receive the award this year.¡± ¡°Oh my god, don¡¯t lie to me!¡± ¡°Why would I lie to you?¡± Moses did not understand. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was so sour that his teeth were about to fall out! What kind of divine leader was this? Was he here to save the common people? He could have pounced on the robber without hesitation just now too if his company could resolve the worries of acting bravely! ¡°Is the treatment in your company really that good?¡± Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was in disbelief. It was not that he did not trust Moses, but he could not believe that such a good company existed in the world. He had been working for decades, but he had never met such a kind boss! ¡°Of course!¡± Moses smiled and said, ¡°Sometimes, I think that I might as well be a full-time delivery man if it doesn¡¯t go well for me in my job search after graduation. Anyway, the company buys insurance for me. It¡¯s not impossible to work until I retire, hahaha.¡± Insurance? Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man gulped. Their company didn¡¯t mention anything about insurance! There was no difference between formal and temporary workers. Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was so envious that he was numb. He asked with a face full of longing, ¡°Your company should have very high requirements for delivery men, right? For example, you look like you¡¯re in university, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that high¡­ But if you insist on it¡­ Being healthy and having good character?¡± ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± ¡°Well¡­ having a good service attitude, I guess that counts too.¡± Moses really couldn¡¯t think of the company¡¯s request for a delivery man. He had seen all kinds of people at Gather Sift Takeaway, including people with disabilities. If one couldn¡¯t ride an electric scooter, one could walk on foot. That person would only be in charge of one or two takeaways in the nearby neighborhood. No one would snatch away from that person if they knew about it. Gather Sift Takeaway was also very tolerant of employees. Moses couldn¡¯t think of anything to ask. Upon hearing this, Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man suddenly took off his vest, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the basket. He looked at Moses sincerely. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re not taking any more orders, right? Can I trouble you to take me to your¡­ No! Our company!¡± When the company was choosing employees, the employees were also choosing the company. Since there was a better place to go, why should he stay where he was! Are You Hungry¡¯s delivery man was about to transform into a Gather Sift Takeaway member! ¡­ A few kilometers away from the campus, in a high-end office building. The bright and tidy office door had the logo of ¡°Are You Hungry Headquarters¡±. All the lights were turned on, and the office building felt like it was daytime. This place was located in the downtown area and was the most prosperous street nearby. There was a large shopping mall on the left and a famous food street on the right. It was the most expensive area in the city. Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s office environment was completely incomparable. Xie Yan was also a person who knew how to save money. He had always spent his money on what mattered. It was fine as long as the office did not mistreat his employees. Are You Hungry¡¯s headquarters wanted to create a sense of wealth. In fact, after financing, they indeed had a lot of money. Before they arrived, they had already contacted the most eye-catching office building. It was to pressure Gather Sift Takeaway and give them visual pressure! The Chairman of Are You Hungry, Zhang Chuan, personally came to this new city to take charge. ¡°Our plan can only be described in one word: Fast! We must form a momentum and gain a foothold before the other party can react!¡± Are You Hungry had specially customized a blitzkrieg plan for the new market. Before coming, they had already heard about Gather Sift Takeaway and carefully studied its development. They understood that Gather Sift Takeaway had a good reputation, but it was developing slowly. Luo Feng and Xie Yan had similar plans in this aspect. They had to get up early and fight steadily. They had to grasp the situation and establish their brand image. Zhang Chuan saw a flaw in it, so he took the investment agency¡¯s money and specially chose this time of the Spring Festival to catch Gather Sift Takeaway off guard. They would quickly expand and occupy the entire market before their opponents could react! ¡°Increase the speed of recruiting delivery men. We have to expand the team as quickly as possible. What¡¯s the situation now?¡± Zhang Chuan was extremely anxious as he asked the assistant beside him. ¡°We have successfully recruited 1,500 delivery men in a week!¡± Zhang Chuan nodded in satisfaction hearing this. If this continued, it would surpass Gather Sift Takeaway in a few days. In the future, more delivery men in blue uniforms would be seen on the streets and alleys, not green uniforms. ¡°But¡­¡± The assistant looked at the information and hesitated. ¡°But what?¡± ¡°A lot of our delivery men have resigned this week¡­¡± The assistant said carefully, ¡°If we calculate, the number of people recruited would not be as many as the number who left¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhang Chuan slammed the table and stood up. ¡°Where did they go?¡± ¡°They¡­ They went to Gather Sift Takeaway¡­¡± Zhang Chuan was in disbelief. They had only been here for a short while, but Gather Sift Takeaway dared to openly poach them? Or was this their way of dealing with it? ¡°Hmph.¡± After a short moment of surprise, Zhang Chuan snorted and sat down. He crossed his arms and remained the same big boss as before. It was just a small accident. ¡°The boss of Gather Sift Takeaway is really not easy to deal with¡­¡± The assistant didn¡¯t understand how the Chairman could tell. He asked in confusion, ¡°Why do you say that?¡± ¡°Think about it. Even you didn¡¯t know if we¡¯re going to enter the new market before we made the announcement.¡± ¡°Indeed. We only found out about it on the eve of the invasion.¡± Are You Hungry valued the market here very much. The higher-ups had started to secretly plan after obtaining the first step of financing. They pounced onto the market during the Spring Festival when everyone was preparing to rest! Many people in the company were dragged to work overtime. At first, they complained about how to choose such a tricky time. Later on, they gradually understood the deeper meaning behind it. All the preparations were to tear open the market before Gather Sift Takeaway could react. Zhang Chuan had decided on the expansion strategy. He had done such a good job of keeping it a secret that even the people in his company barely knew about it. He had thought that his plan was flawless, but he did not expect his opponent to react in time! Chapter 224 - 224 The Boss Of Gather Sift Takeaway Is Not a Kind Person! 224 The Boss Of Gather Sift Takeaway Is Not a Kind Person! ¡°Not only did Gather Sift Takeaway react in a short period of time, but they also thought of poaching our delivery man. To be honest, their method really works!¡± Zhang Chuan said. The assistant was suddenly enlightened. He could not help but sigh to himself. If he were to look at it from another angle, could they have such reaction speed and strategy when they were currently at Gather Sift Takeaway? Zhang Chuan had to admit. ¡°I thought that the boss of Gather Sift Takeaway was lucky to be in the limelight. Now, it seems that he is indeed capable!¡± According to his understanding, the founder of Gather Sift Takeaway was also a group of students. However, Are You Hungry¡¯s founder was a graduate student. His social experience and educational background were higher than Gather Sift Takeaway. Before arriving here, Zhang Chuan did not take it to heart. After all, the other party was five or six years younger than him. If he took them too seriously, wouldn¡¯t he be bullying them? But now, it seemed that it was time for him to show his true abilities. Zhang Chuan¡¯s expression changed. He said to his assistant, ¡°Time for a meeting! We have to take our opponents seriously.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The assistant did not dare to be negligent. Even though it was seven in the evening and long past the normal time to get off work, the office building was still brightly lit. The supervisors of the various departments in charge of the market did not dare to get off work without permission. When they heard that the Chairman was going to have a meeting, they felt relieved. They thought that after the meeting and listening to their boss¡¯s arrangements, they could get off work openly. Everyone sat in the office with exhausted expressions and listened to the HR supervisor report the recruitment situation. Zhang Chuan was expressionless at first, but the more he listened, the uglier his expression became. When he realized that the reason for most delivery men leaving was very similar, Zhang Chuan could not hold it in anymore. ¡°What do you think¡­ Gather Sift Takeaway is after¡­¡± Zhang Chuan asked. Not to mention that Zhang Chuan had never seen the level of benefits given by Gather Sift Takeaway since he started his business, even in the entire country, there were very few companies that could reach a similar level. Zhang Chuan was about to go crazy. He scratched his head but could not understand why Gather Sift Takeaway was so generous. The business models of the two competitors were actually very similar, but Are You Hungry was not as generous as Gather Sift Takeaway, be it to merchants or delivery men. There was no need to mention the riders. Because there were many of them, they were relatively free to come and go. There was no insurance. In terms of the fees charged to merchants, neither was a fixed commission model. Instead, it was a step-by-step fee. For example, a burger shop did not need to pay immediately after entering the delivery platform. Instead, it needed to pay a certain amount of commission when the transaction volume on the platform reached a certain number. The more they earned, the more commission they would have to pay. Such a model was beneficial to attract merchants when the delivery platform was just starting out, especially some small profit shops. Gather Sift Takeaway was using it, so was Are You Hungry. Zhang Chuan had used some methods to inquire about the internal affairs of Gather Sift Takeaway and learned that they had been incurring losses. From his point of view, Gather Sift Takeaway had most likely invested 18 million yuan. Their local development was actually relatively stable. Typically, if they started a business, they would start earning money at this time. However, Gather Sift Takeaway was still losing money. How was this starting a business? It was more like doing charity. Regarding this, he could not figure it out no matter what. Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s current situation might be harmful to the company itself. The only benefit was that competitors would not be able to benefit. Whether it was the delivery men or the merchants, they knew that Gather Sift Takeaway was better. Zhang Chuan rubbed his eyebrows. ¡°Could it be that the boss of Gather Sift Takeaway knew that we would come to compete? If that¡¯s the case¡­ this boss¡­¡± He was too far-sighted! The other employees looked at their boss¡¯s dark expression and knew that it was another night of overtime. They could not help but sigh. This brightly lit office building would probably continue to be lit until late at night. Zhang Chuan was still estimating his opponent¡¯s strength.while Xie Yan no longer dared to question Luo Feng¡¯s decision. It was not just Xie Yan. Now, the admiration of the entire Jubin Company¡¯s employees for Luo Feng was like a river that could not be stopped. Are You Hungry¡¯s headquarters held a meeting overnight to discuss the plan. Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s headquarters also held a meeting overnight. However, they were not discussing the plan, but reflecting on themselves. Xie Yan was the first to stand up. ¡°I¡¯ve reflected on myself. I actually doubted the boss¡¯s strategy!¡± The General Manager stood up and admitted his mistake generously. The people below followed closely behind. One sat down like a Whac-A-Mole, and the other stood up again. ¡°That¡¯s right! Me too! When the boss said that he wanted to obtain low commissions, I actually objected! I shouldn¡¯t have!¡± ¡°There¡¯s also the riders. I previously submitted an application to ask the boss if he could cancel the insurance benefits. At that time, I was considering the difficulty of starting a company. Now I know that I¡¯m shallow!¡± The entire meeting room was like a discussion. Everyone more or less did not understand and doubted Luo Feng. The main members of Gather Sift Takeaway were the initial party with Xie Yan. The students were about the same age and were at the most creative stage. Even though Luo Feng did not ask much about the development of the company, he was in charge of the general direction. However, the direction he has set has left many people confused, or even disapproving. They felt that Luo Feng¡¯s focus was biased. In a situation where there was no profit yet, he was giving the benefits to the merchants and delivery men. He was simply putting the cart before the horse. If he did not agree, it would be too good for the merchants and delivery man. It would not be too late to wait until the profits stabilized. Therefore, they were very dissatisfied with the company that had been losing money for a long time. If Luo Feng was not a major shareholder who had paid for it, they might have protested collectively and requested to change their route. They were spending Luo Feng¡¯s money. Everyone had also invested time and energy. Everyone hoped that the company would develop well, but they could not dissuade the major shareholder, Luo Feng. Everyone still felt a little uneasy. Until today when the tables had turned! Xie Yan¡¯s eyes brightened as he looked at Luo Feng¡¯s empty seat with admiration. ¡°The facts have proven that Boss¡¯s deep foresight is not something we can predict!¡± ¡°To be honest, when Are You Hungry entered our city, I called Boss because I panicked. I didn¡¯t expect that Boss did not care about them at all.¡± Speaking of this, Xie Yan¡¯s face was filled with admiration. ¡°At that time, I shallowly thought that Boss had underestimated the enemy, but I didn¡¯t expect Boss to actually be so confident! Most of the delivery men recruited by Are You Hungry are with us now! The businesses under us are also unwilling to cooperate with them because the commission required by them is too high! I didn¡¯t understand it in the past, but I understand now! Boss already knew that this day would come!¡± After Xie Yan finished speaking, the conference room was filled with enthusiastic applause. Even though Luo Feng was not around, their blood was still boiling! Are You Hungry, who was rich, came aggressively. Not only Xie Yan, but the people below were also panicking. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t be sitting in the office at this time. It had to be known that the Spring Festival was the most important festival in the entire year! Even if they voluntarily worked overtime throughout the year, they should go back to reunite with their family at this time. Initially, he thought that he would have to spend this year in anxiety. Unexpectedly, before they could do anything, the other party¡¯s delivery men took the initiative to jump ship! Chapter 225 - 225 Boss, Please Allow Me to Apologize Now! 225 Boss, Please Allow Me to Apologize Now! Not only did the delivery men leave collectively, so did the merchants. Some merchants took the initiative to call the company¡¯s headquarters and say that Are You Hungry¡¯s promoters had come to visit, but they were chased out. When Xie Yan first received the call, he was stunned for a few seconds. For a moment, he did not know how to answer. Later on, Xie Yan realized that even though Are You Hungry was aggressive and developing very quickly, Gather Sift Takeaway was developing faster. It was even faster than before Are You Hungry came! At first, Xie Yan did not understand. Later on, he thought about it with the others. Wasn¡¯t the delivery men and the merchant¡¯s reaction precisely because Gather Sift Takeaway was very generous to them? Especially when compared to Are You Hungry¡¯s takeaway, Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s kindness was even more obvious. Why did they have to be generous even when they were losing money? Wasn¡¯t it because of Luo Feng¡¯s persistence?! After careful calculation, it was all thanks to Luo Feng. Now that Xie Yan mentioned Luo Feng, he did not dare to call him by his name. He respected Luo Feng from the bottom of his heart, so he addressed him as boss. At this moment, Luo Feng, who was far away in Crown City, did not know that he had been busy taking care of children and coaxing girls during the holidays. The school had gained a group of loyal followers. Luo Feng could be considered to have foreseen the future to a certain extent. However, when it came to being generous to outsiders, he didn¡¯t think too much about it at first. He just wanted to spend money and get a rebate. ¡­ At night, at the Crown City Orphanage. Ai Tingya and Luo Feng were lying on the bed and sitting at the table, reading the books in their hands. Crown City was a small city after all. The two of them walked around the old city for two days and then went to the new city that was being developed. They felt that it was boring and did not go out much in the end. The two of them simply circled around the children. Moreover, it was freezing outside. Wasn¡¯t it better to stay at home by the fire than to go out and enjoy the cold wind? Luo Feng placed one hand behind his head. His body was warm, and sleepiness gradually swept over him. Ai Tingya, who was sitting at the table beside him, held a book in one hand and a pen in the other. Her small hands were cold and red. ¡°Tingya, look at your cold hands. Buckle your clothes properly,¡± Luo Feng said lazily. Ai Tingya felt a little hot after taking a shower. The front of her pajamas was wide open, revealing the small white spaghetti strap inside. Perhaps because she knew that Luo Feng would not do anything overboard in the orphanage, Ai Tingya had not been so shy recently. She would wear the pajamas when it was cold and take it off when it was hot. She completely treated Luo Feng as Xiao Fei. Luo Feng would not do anything, but his eyes could not stay idle. Ai Tingya¡¯s figure was extremely good. One could see her curvaceous curves even through her thick winter pajamas. Not to mention the strap on her upper body now, it was no different from her X-ray outfit. It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but in the past two days, not only had Ai Tingya transmigrated more and more casually, but she had also been swaying in front of Luo Feng. She was simply provoking him! ¡°Can you look elsewhere?¡± Ai Tingya sensed Luo Feng¡¯s burning gaze and smiled faintly as she tugged at her collar, not completely buttoning it. She was not stupid. She knew that if she continued to be disobedient, Luo Feng would do it himself. She quickly put down her book and crawled into bed. ¡°You know it¡¯s cold, right?¡± Luo Feng held her cold little hand and placed it on his abdomen to warm it. ¡°Where are you going to find such a good fianc¨¦ like me? I¡¯ve already warmed the bed for you.¡± Ai Tingya was actually not afraid of the cold. In the past, when the orphanage was in a difficult situation, she would give her clothes to other children in the winter and endure it herself. Gradually, she got used to it. But Ai Tingya suddenly didn¡¯t want to go out lying in the warm blanket. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s clearly to warm yourself up. My bed is at the top.¡± Ai Tingya sniffled and retracted her hand, pretending to leave. Luo Feng pulled her back and tucked her in to prevent any heat from leaking out. ¡°You still want to leave after coming? What do you mean by yours and mine? They¡¯re all mine!¡± Ai Tingya giggled. Even though the two of them had been sleeping on the same bed during this period of time, Ai Tingya rarely took the initiative to crawl into Luo Feng¡¯s bed. Usually, she would be forcefully pressed onto the bed by Luo Feng and hugged to sleep like a pillow. Originally, Ai Tingya had integrity and wanted to sleep separately to avoid any mishaps. However, Luo Feng was stronger. Every time Ai Tingya struggled twice, she would get tired and sleep for another night. ¡°When are you going to take a shower?¡± Ai Tingya rubbed her eyes and felt like sleeping. ¡°I¡¯ll go when you¡¯re warm.¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Ai Tingya closed her eyes vaguely, as if she was about to fall asleep. Luo Feng quietly took the toiletries and returned to his room. At some point in time, Ai Tingya had fallen asleep inside. Luo Feng gently lifted the blanket and crawled in. He realized that his side was warm. Ai Tingya¡¯s sleeping spot was still a little cold. She must have just entered. ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep?¡± Luo Feng asked softly. No matter how bad a sleeping person¡¯s sleeping posture was, they would not lie down in a cold place. ¡°Yes.¡± Ai Tingya buried her face in the blanket and said in a muffled voice, ¡°I slept for a while. When I opened my eyes and realized that you weren¡¯t in the room, I couldn¡¯t fall asleep.¡± ¡°How cute.¡± Luo Feng hugged Ai Tingya tightly. He realized that Ai Tingya was the cutest and most straightforward when she was a little muddle-headed. For example, now, she said whatever she wanted and did not hide her reliance on Luo Feng. Ai Tingya felt a familiar embrace and burrowed into it like a little rabbit. The two of them leaned against each other on the narrow bed. It was as if the entire world had shrunk to the size of an inch. The world that belonged to each other only had each other. A thousand words were melted in the warm body temperature. ¡°Buzz! Buzz!¡± At this moment, Luo Feng¡¯s phone rang at an inappropriate time. He could not help but feel a little resentful. What huge matter was going to ruin the warm atmosphere? Seeing that it was a call from Xie Yan, Luo Feng picked it up angrily. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± It was past nine o¡¯clock now. Luo Feng thought that Xie Yan must have something urgent to call at this time! ¡°Boss! I must apologize to you!¡± Xie Yan¡¯s sincere voice came from the other end of the phone. Luo Feng suddenly became serious. Countless possibilities flashed through his mind. Could it be that Xie Yan had messed up something? Or was there not enough money to spend? That couldn¡¯t be¡­ Could it be that the company had been transferred? ¡°What did you do to me?¡± Luo Feng was a little confused. Xie Yan said, ¡°I just had an in-depth self-reflection with the employees. Everyone¡¯s self-reflection is very deep, but I think we still have to apologize to you!¡± ¡°No¡­ What¡¯s going on? What is the entire company reflecting on?¡± Luo Feng felt that the only thing everyone should reflect on was that they did not know how to spend money and did not dare to accept five times the overtime salary! ¡°I apologize for questioning you in the past. I hope you can forgive me!¡± ¡°¡­What?¡± Luo Feng thought about it carefully. Has such a thing ever happened? He did not feel anything at all¡­ ¡°Yes!¡± Xie Yan was getting more and more excited. ¡°I really shouldn¡¯t have. Back then, I even opposed you when you suggested giving better treatment to the delivery man. I was too short-sighted! I¡¯m sorry, Boss!¡± Chapter 226 - 226 Setting Off for Shanghai! 226 Setting Off for Shanghai! Luo Feng subconsciously pulled the phone away from his ears hearing Xie Yan¡¯s mushy true feelings. He remembered that Xie Yan rarely called him boss and usually called him by his name. They were in the same class and Xie Yan and Ai Tingya were classmates after all. Luo Feng felt that this form of address was very good. Now that he was calling him boss, it was a little awkward. ¡°This can¡¯t be called distrust¡­¡± Luo Feng advised the other party earnestly. ¡°It¡¯s normal for people to have different views. You¡­¡± ¡°No!¡± Xie Yan said resolutely. ¡°The facts have proven that your decision has a deeper meaning when it comes to major events. I can¡¯t understand it!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luo Feng did not know where to start. His goal had always been very simple. He just wanted to make a profit. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry that I held a general meeting behind your back today,¡± Xie Yan said very seriously. ¡°The entire company has reached an agreement. In the future, the company will definitely deeply understand your decisions! We¡¯ll carry them out no matter whether we understand them or not!¡± ¡°¡­Actually, there¡¯s no need¡­ You guys still have to maintain your own views¡­¡± Luo Feng said with difficulty. He would definitely not listen to the current Xie Yan. ¡°No! This is our mutual decision!¡± Bang! After Xie Yan finished speaking, he hung up. Luo Feng stared at his silent phone with a confused expression. What happened? Why did it feel like Xie Yan was acting abnormally? Luo Feng carefully recalled what he had done recently. The only time he interacted with Xie Yan was when he called him about giving subsidies. Or did something happen at the company recently? He suspected that Xie Yan had fooled him. Luo Feng turned to Ai Tingya and said, ¡°Do you think¡­ I¡¯ve arranged too much work for Xie Yan?¡± Ai Tingya buried her face in the blanket and didn¡¯t move.Her sleepy bug had gone after Xie Yan¡¯s apologies. ¡°No, right? Hasn¡¯t he always been in charge of the company?¡± If there were more, there would have been a problem a long time ago. Why did they only realize it now? ¡°It¡¯s just that¡­ Why do I feel that he¡¯s abnormally excited?¡± Luo Feng stared at his phone and muttered, ¡°I even feel like he¡¯s been brainwashed. Is the pressure too great?¡± Ai Tingya looked up and said seriously, ¡°But I think he¡¯s right. Your decision was right.¡± ¡°You think so too?¡± Luo Feng was a little surprised. His goal had always been especially simple. At the thought of this, Luo Feng took a deep look at Ai Tingya and remembered that the person beside him was his number one fan. This way, things seemed to make sense. A person with unlimited potential like Ai Tingya was stunned by his Poof. Xie Yan¡¯s change was also reasonable. Luo Feng could not help but be a little worried. After all, he was afraid of brainless support. He did not want the talents in his hands to only rely on his brain in the future. Luo Feng still wanted to be a true freeloader, to freeload! Talented people had to think independently! Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya beside him. Her eyes were as bright as pearls as she looked at him sincerely. On second thought, Ai Tingya was his first supporter. It didn¡¯t seem to have affected her growth. Moreover, she seemed to have grown faster. Luo Feng did not think about it carefully. Even though he was only grasping the general direction, he had unknowingly set a goal for Ai Tingya. In order to make himself worthy of Luo Feng, Ai Tingya had increased the pressure on him and forced him to grow faster. Xie Yan and the others were the same. While Gather Sift Takeaway was developing rapidly, Xie Yan and his team were also growing unknowingly. As long as the general direction that Luo Feng had set was not a problem, as long as they carried it out steadily, they would not make any mistakes on the big problem. Moreover, Luo Feng felt that¡­ with Xie Yan¡¯s current admiration for him, he might make a mistake. They would only think that it was his problem and definitely not doubt Luo Feng! ¡°Let¡¯s go to bed.¡± Luo Feng yawned and hugged Ai Tingya tightly as he turned off the lights to sleep. ¡­ The holidays were almost the same every day. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya would either go out for a walk or play with the children. New Year¡¯s Eve had just passed, and the leisure vacation was coming to an end. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya decided to leave Crown City first and boarded a plane to Shanghai. When they were about to reach the Shanghai airport, Ai Tingya leaned against the window and looked at the bustling metropolis below the clouds. Shanghai was a place with an independent style. It was different from the steadiness and quaintness of the school or the old age of Crown City. Shanghai was a modern metropolis, as if it was a weathervane of the era. Anything that could lead the trend seemed to be found here. Looking at the faint outlines of the tall buildings, Ai Tingya asked, ¡°Luo Feng, are we really going to move the headquarters here in the future?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Shanghai is more suitable for our company¡¯s development. In the future, our company¡¯s headquarters will have to move here.¡± Luo Feng smiled. Even though both cities were super front-line, Shanghai focused on finance and business. Their positions were different Styles. Moreover, Luo Feng felt that Shanghai was the most suitable for the next step of take-out. He had long thought that once they graduated, the headquarters of Good Me Milk Tea and Gather Sift Takeaway would be moved here! He had only told Ai Tingya about this. Ai Tingya was not careless at all when it came to work. The two of them did not even have time to experience the afterglow of the Spring Festival before they booked a plane ticket to Shanghai. ¡°Okay!¡± Ai Tingya nodded heavily. She pursed her lips and arched her body. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you nervous?¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Then, do you mean¡­ you¡¯ll ignore me in the future?¡± Ai Tingya pouted and asked softly. She sounded a little tentative and coquettish. The two of them sat in economy class, which was relatively close to each other. With Ai Tingya¡¯s personality, if she wasn¡¯t in a hurry, she would rather take a cheaper train after all. She had already spent a few hundred yuan on the plane ticket. She definitely wouldn¡¯t agree to Luo Feng buying a first-class ticket. In terms of daily expenses, Ai Tingya would definitely not listen to Luo Feng. The two of them had bought tickets in a hurry and their seats weren¡¯t very good. Other than Ai Tingya sitting by the window, there were people in the other three directions. A few of them were even secretly listening to their conversation. It was impossible not to notice them because they were too good looking. When they were together again, they had no choice but to attract the attention of the others. Suddenly, the few people who were eavesdropping could not help but look at Luo Feng with disdain after hearing Ai Tingya¡¯s pitiful voice. They deeply suspected that this man was going to abandon her! He was too handsome and had the potential to be a scumbag after all! In the face of such a beautiful girl, the scumbag actually had the heart to deceive her. It was really infuriating! The few of them inexplicably imagined a scene of a woman blaming a man for being silent, especially when an auntie happened to be sitting beside Luo Feng. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. In fact, her ears were stretched out and she did not want to miss a word. Luo Feng felt a chill run down his spine and inexplicably shivered. Chapter 227 - 227 Pick Up Lines On The Plane, Ill Drop You Off? 227 Pick Up Lines On The Plane, I¡¯ll Drop You Off? Luo Feng felt like there was a gaze behind him. He turned around and saw the surrounding people were doing their own things again. Perhaps it was just an illusion¡­ Luo Feng placed his attention on the matters in Shanghai and said to Ai Tingya, ¡°Ahem, I¡¯m not saying that I don¡¯t care about you. I¡¯ll leave the main decision to you. Besides, you¡¯re in charge of the milk tea now, and I¡¯ll be in charge of the takeaway. Isn¡¯t this how it¡¯s always been?¡± In the past, be it in Crown City or in the university, Luo Feng had given them general direction. Ai Tingya was in charge of the rest. They were going to Shanghai this time for the new milk tea market and to prepare for expansion. Luo Feng¡¯s idea was to let Ai Tingya participate in important decisions. Luo Feng realized that both Good Me Milk Tea and Gather Sift Takeaway relied too much on him because of Xie Yan¡¯s matter. That would definitely not do! Luo Feng was different from Ai Tingya and Xie Yan. The latter two had their own ideals and revenge. They wanted to create their own careers, benefit the people around them, or prove themselves. However, Luo Feng purely wanted to freeload. When he was young, he had worked hard for a few years. When his career started, he could feel at ease and nominate people behind the scenes to take advantage of the past. Therefore, his subordinates had to be able to deal with matters themselves. Even if Luo Feng was not by their side in the future, they could still let the company develop smoothly. In the past, Luo Feng had taken on too much. As expected, when Ai Tingya heard that she would be in charge of the expansion of the company alone in the future, she was still very flustered and uneasy. ¡°I don¡¯t think I can do it well¡­¡± Ai Tingya said pitifully. She was not someone who had an inferior complex. Perhaps she had in the past but since she got together with Luo Feng, the surrounding people had never stopped praising her. Be it her looks or ability, Ai Tingya was one of the best. However, when she thought about how Luo Feng would not be by her side, her heart felt empty. She could not figure it out no matter what. She had the fear of a cub leaving its parents and surviving alone to hunt for food. When Luo Feng saw Ai Tingya¡¯s uneasy expression, he became even more determined. Reality proved that he should indeed let them grow on their own. Otherwise, with Ai Tingya¡¯s mentality, she would probably lose her ability to make decisions if she left him in the future. This would not do as the lady boss. He explained gently, ¡°It¡¯s normal to feel pressured. Do you remember when we opened our first shop? You were always worried about losing money and couldn¡¯t sleep or eat. Didn¡¯t you survive it? After training for so long, I believe that my Tingya must be in a stronger mental state!¡± Ai Tingya raised her head and blinked at Luo Feng. Luo Feng continued, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. The worst outcome will be a failure in the expansion. It doesn¡¯t matter. We have a foundation now and have the strength to spend an additional 100 million yuan to set off again.¡± When he expanded the eight shops, he spent a little more than 100 million yuan. The main expenses were actually concentrated in the staff dormitory. However, the current 100 million yuan was different from the previous 100 million yuan. He did not have much capital in the past. Ai Tingya¡¯s habit of saving money was the only stumbling block, causing Luo Feng to think of all kinds of ways to spend money to get a rebate. He had spent a lot of effort to gather 100 million yuan. After experiencing so much, it was completely different now. Luo Feng had 400 million yuan in his hands. He was afraid that Ai Tingya would not be able to spend it all! Ai Tingya¡¯s face fell. She knew that Luo Feng had made up his mind. She lowered her head, and without her usual coquettish whining, her lips pressed into a thin line as she began to think about what to do next. When Luo Feng saw this, he smiled and could not help but nod in satisfaction. People would only be motivated when there was pressure. With Ai Tingya¡¯s perseverance, she would become stronger the more she fought. No matter what difficulties she faced, she would eventually submit to her. Seeing Ai Tingya turn from an ordinary high school girl into a domineering female CEO, he felt a sense of accomplishment just thinking about it. Ai Tingya was seriously thinking about the path of the company¡¯s expansion while Luo Feng leaned back in his chair leisurely. Unintentionally, he caught a glimpse of a boy in the front row looking at him through the gap between the seats. He had a faint smile on his lips and narrowed his eyes, as if he was looking at him with admiration. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. The boy gave him a thumbs up and whispered, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re still the best at pretending! You¡¯re awesome!¡± Luo Feng frowned slightly, not understanding what the other party meant. The boy smiled slyly. ¡°He¡¯s sitting in economy class, and he¡¯s blowing his trumpet about 100 million yuan. Haha.¡± Luo Feng was silent. He felt that there was no need for him to prove himself. However, in the boy¡¯s eyes, he was even more certain that Luo Feng was lying. It did not mean that there were no rich people in economy class. Some low-key rich people, or those who bought tickets in a hurry, might squeeze in with everyone else. However, looking at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s ages, they were not even 20 years old. Taking a step back, even if he had a rich father and mother, how could a rich second-generation heir who was still enjoying himself be so proactive? He came out to run a business after the new year. Moreover, looking at their ordinary clothes, they did not look like they were over millionaires. The words they said naturally made the people around them feel unreliable. Luo Feng only smiled and changed the topic to chat with the boy. He realized that even though the boy was a little straightforward, he did not have any ill intentions. Ai Tingya was seriously planning the company¡¯s future and did not have time to chat with Luo Feng to relieve her boredom. Luo Feng happened to find someone to chat with. During the conversation, Luo Feng learned that this boy was studying in Shanghai. He was three years older than him and was currently studying as a graduate student. As the laboratory was relatively busy, he took a plane back to school after the New Year. When the boy heard that this was Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s first time in Shanghai, he even enthusiastically recommended tourist attractions and delicious specialties worth visiting. He was especially talkative. He could continue no matter the topic brooched. By the time the plane landed, Luo Feng already knew the boy¡¯s name, his school and major, and the name of the girl he liked¡­ He was a passionate and familiar person. When they chatted, he could not hold back his words. When the passengers got off the plane, the boy naturally walked beside Luo Feng. ¡°Where are you guys going? If it¡¯s on the way, let¡¯s take a taxi together. I¡¯ll pay the bulk. How about that?¡± the boy asked Luo Feng. After all, they were of the same age. They could save some money by hitching a ride together. Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand with one hand and took out his phone with the other. He looked at it and shook his head at the boy. ¡°Someone is here to pick us up.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± The boy touched the back of his neck and felt a little regretful. To be honest, he quite liked to chat with Luo Feng. Luo Feng was very polite even though he liked to brag. He would not casually interrupt him, nor would he blindly deny himself. He listened seriously and would even nod in response at critical moments. He was a good listener. For a chatterbox, it was rare to have someone who listened to him seriously and responded to every word! ¡°Alright then. Be careful.¡± The boy pulled his stomach and prepared to leave. ¡°Why don¡¯t I ask if I can drop you off first?¡± Luo Feng suddenly offered. Chapter 228 - 228 Hello, Meeting The Director Of The Investment Corporation! 228 Hello, Meeting The Director Of The Investment Corporation! ¡°Drop me off?¡± The boy was a little confused. He had heard that this was the first time Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had come to Shanghai. If someone were to fetch them, they should be their relatives and friends. The boy felt that it was not good to trouble them like this the first time they met. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s go outside together.¡± Luo Feng did not find it troublesome. The boy followed him in a daze. From afar, he saw a Rolls-Royce luxury car parked outside the exit. Even though he could see all kinds of luxury cars at the airport, the Rolls-Royce still attracted many people to stop and watch. A man in a suit wearing sunglasses was leaning against the car door and playing with his phone. Sensing someone approaching, the man in a suit took off his sunglasses and looked at Luo Feng. He said in surprise, ¡°May I ask if you¡¯re Chairman Luo of Gather Sift Takeaway?¡± ¡°That¡¯s me.¡± Luo Feng nodded neither servile nor overbearing. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Ji Yang from the Zishan Company. Welcome to Shanghai, Chairman Luo.¡± Ji Yang extended his hand and shook Luo Feng¡¯s hand warmly. ¡°Chairman Luo, do you think we should go to the company first or send you to the hotel first?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°I have a friend here. Can we send him to his school first?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Ji Yang said readily. ¡°It¡¯s a small matter!¡± The boy did not dare to move and did not know what to do. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Luo Feng reminded, realizing that the boy was stunned on the spot. Luo Feng casually prepared to help him put his luggage in the car. Seeing this, Ji Yang hurriedly rushed to put his things in. He was already in his twenties, but this was the first time someone had helped him put his luggage in. He followed Luo Feng into the Rolls-Royce in a daze, enjoying the surprised gazes of the passersby. His mind was enveloped in an unreal fog, and he had yet to react. The boy was like a stone statue. His muscles were tense, and his hands were holding the seat belt, not daring to move. He looked at Luo Feng, who looked back at him. The two of them were speechless. A moment later, the boy swallowed. ¡°You¡­ weren¡¯t bragging¡­¡± Luo Feng did not take it to heart at all. He shrugged and revealed a relaxed smile. A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on the boy¡¯s face. His mind replayed rapidly. Did he say something wrong on the plane just now? He seemed to have said that he wanted to learn the secret of Luo Feng¡¯s confident bragging ability while chasing after his goddess? He seemed to have compared his goddess to the girl beside Luo Feng. Even though Ai Tingya looked better, subjectively speaking, the boy felt that his goddess was cuter¡­ For Luo Feng to be able to woo Ai Tingya, he, who was a little handsome, was definitely more than enough to be a match for his goddess. As long as he could learn Luo Feng¡¯s confidence¡­ But¡­ But Luo Feng is really awesome! He looked at Luo Feng¡¯s calm face and had the urge to cry. No comparison at all. Other than sighing at how awesome his brother was, he could not say anything else. The boy who was very talkative on the plane just now lowered his head silently, not saying a word. Only his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Luo Feng from time to time. After sending the boy to the entrance of the school, the three of them turned around and went to the Zishan Company. Luo Feng chose Zishan, one of the earliest investment funds in the country and one of the most famous companies. There were many successful investments, and Luo Feng had long heard of it in his previous life. At that time, Zishan was the one who helped to encourage the familiar shopping websites and video websites to become the leading company. The company¡¯s investment style was biased towards early-stage venture capitalism. They would choose to withdraw before or after going public. They were more willing to invest in technology and entertainment projects. They had invested in Zhang Chuan¡¯s Are You Hungry this time. Luo Feng¡¯s Gather Sift Takeaway was also among their targets. Luo Feng came to Shanghai with Ai Tingya this time to accept the invitation of Zishan Corporation. The Rolls-Royce stopped under an office building at the outer beach. The two of them alighted and looked up at the silver-gray high-end building. Ai Tingya could not hide the envy on her face. The office building where their company was located was not only old, but also remote after all. Compared to the traffic, the endless prosperity made the environment of his company look relatively shabby. Ji Yang could not help but feel a little smug when he saw Ai Tingya¡¯s reaction. He said to Luo Feng calmly, ¡°Chairman Luo, our Chairman Xiong is waiting for you.¡± Luo Feng could not help but raise his eyebrows. Chairman Xiong of Zishan Corporation was one of the founding members of the domestic investment industry. He was famous in the domestic internet and entertainment circles because of many classic investment cases. Yan Kaize was also in the investment field. If he saw Chairman Xiong, he might faint from excitement. This time, he had specially made time for him. It had to be said that he was giving Luo Feng a lot of face. ¡°This way, please.¡± Ji Yang led the two of them into the office building. He had some status in the company. The people he personally received must be people that Chairman Xiong liked. Many passing employees were stealing glances at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. They might not have expected the two of them to be so young. In the Chairman¡¯s office, a refined man sat on the CEO¡¯s chair. There was a bright French window behind him, and the vast skyline of Shanghai was on show. The man did not look like a businessman. His temperament was more like a scientific researcher. He was wearing glasses and had a gentle smile on his face. He did not have the habitual fake smile that hurt people. As soon as Luo Feng and Ai Tingya entered, the man stood up and extended his hand enthusiastically. ¡°Chairman Luo? Hello, hello!¡± He turned out of the desk and quickly welcomed him, holding Luo Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°This is our Chairman Xiong.¡± Ji Yang introduced. ¡°Hello, Chairman Xiong.¡± Luo Feng shook his hand. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that Chairman Luo is young. I didn¡¯t expect you to be this young. Indeed, heroes come from young people.¡± Chairman Xiong praised as he led the three of them to the tea table. The few of them took their seats one after another. Ai Tingya was extremely nervous, but Luo Feng was at ease. He felt that it was strange. With Chairman Xiong¡¯s status and ability, why was he so polite to a junior like him? His words even sounded like he was flattering him. ¡®For what?¡¯ Actually, to be honest, Luo Feng was also flattered by Zishan¡¯s invitation. The other party had long invested in Are You Hungry after. They were actually on opposing sides, if one were to be calculative about it. In the end, he actually invited his company and was so enthusiastic. No matter how he thought about it, something was wrong. ¡°Chairman Xiong, how can I deserve this? You¡¯re too kind.¡± Luo Feng was also polite. After all, he had also established his own business in the past. He did not believe that he could say such polite words at will. He looked reserved on the surface, but he was not panicking at all. In his previous life, Luo Feng had seen interviews related to Chairman Xiong and had a certain understanding of this person. The few of them chatted nonchalantly and could not get to the main topic for a long time. However, Chairman Xiong realized that Luo Feng¡¯s answer was watertight as he spoke. He was actually even more slippery than him at such a young age. He would definitely not let the topic fall to the ground. He was even more competent than a supporting role. Moreover, he actually said some opinions intentionally or unintentionally that tickled him. Chapter 229 - 229 Probing By Both Sides, Negotiation On Terms Of Cooperation! 229 Probing By Both Sides, Negotiation On Terms Of Cooperation! After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chairman Xiong could tell that Luo Feng was not an ordinary person. Not only was he proficient in the art of speech, he was also very calm. After chatting for so long, Luo Feng followed him wherever he said. He was not in a hurry to talk about serious matters at all. According to Chairman Xiong¡¯s usual style, he would wait for the other party to breach the topic first. This was because the person who took the initiative would be the first to fall into a disadvantageous position. As long as he spoke first, it meant that he was very concerned about this matter. Regardless of whether Chairman Xiong was an indifferent party no matter whether he followed or not. However, Luo Feng did not respond. It was as if the purpose of coming here was to chat and drink tea. Such a dark and unclear attitude made Chairman Xiong a little anxious. From the beginning, he asked Ji Yang to drive the Rolls-Royce to pick him up and gave him endless praises when he entered. In the end, it was all to make Luo Feng feel smug. When one was smug, it was the best opportunity to seize. He didn¡¯t expect this kid to not fall for this. He had an experience that didn¡¯t match his age. He was a wily old fox, as unfathomable as slippery one! Whether it was from a subjective or objective perspective, Zishan had given Luo Feng enough face this time. From the arrival at the airport to the personal reception of the company¡¯s director, Chairman Xiong, all of this showed how much he valued this meeting. If it were any other company¡¯s person-in-charge, they would have long been in discussion. They were definitely impatient to get a collaboration as soon as possible. However, Luo Feng was an exception. Chairman Xiong and Zishan were not in the charitable business, let alone be bootlickers of other companies. He very much wanted to invest in Gather Sift TakeawaY. Even though they were already the investors of Are You Hungry, they were also quite interested in Gather Sift Takeaway. To put it simply, he wanted to bet on both sides. No matter which side won the competition, Zishan would not lose out. These two takeaways were the two largest takeaway companies in the domestic market after all. One occupied the Shanghai market, and the other also occupied the market of a front-line city. The size on both sides was also comparable. Are You Hungry might have been established early and had already begun to expand to a second city, but Gather Sift Takeaway was developing faster and more solidly. The development of both sides was not comparable. Zishan had invested in Are You Hungry because she valued the large online takeaway market. They also valued Gather Sift Takeaway of the same level. However, the boss of Gather Sift Takeaway was quite low-profile. Zishan investigated in all ways but only found a person-in-charge called Xie Yan. She only managed to contact Luo Feng after a while. He was so low-key that he did not seem to be a company CEO. Many investment companies had tried to contact Luo Feng before Zishan, but unfortunately, they could not find any channels. From the perspective of capitalism, Zishan did not have a fixed position. It was not that she would lock herself in whichever side she invested in. Business did not have loyalty. On the contrary, Chairman Xiong preferred risk hedging, so he looked for Gather Sift Takeaway. Are You Hungry and the gathering were both in the early stages. If Zishan entered now, they could often obtain ten to a hundred times the benefits in the future. In other words, if he invested a million yuan at the same time and spent a total of two million yuan, he only needed to wait for one party to win. The reward would often be tens of millions! No one would lose anything if they won. This was a profitable business. Therefore, Chairman Xiong had always wanted to chat with Luo Feng. When he asked around, he only knew that Luo Feng was very young. It seemed that the entire company was filled with young people. At that time, he thought that a freshman who was almost 20 years old would definitely be easy to fool. As long as they acted more passionately and intimately, the students who lacked social experience would definitely think that they were good people. Perhaps it could make Luo Feng lower his guard and facilitate a more beneficial cooperation. Such investments pulled in the interests of both sides after all, often in the millions or tens of millions. If he could influence Luo Feng in the details and make him neglect even a little, he might be able to obtain considerable benefits. This was what Chairman Xiong had planned early on. He never expected Luo Feng to not follow his plan. Ai Tingya, who came with Luo Feng, was a little reserved, but Luo Feng¡¯s words¡­ His shoulders relaxed and the corners of his mouth curled up. Was he praising the renovation of the office and the fragrance of Chairman Xiong¡¯s tea? He looked happy and content, as if this was his office. His eyes looked at Chairman Xiong and Ji Yang, as if he could already see through their thoughts. There was an indifference that he could see through but not expose. His attitude was extremely relaxed. Chairman Xiong and Ji Yang exchanged glances, their eyes filled with ¡°It¡¯s not easy¡­¡± He did not know much about Luo Feng, but from Luo Feng¡¯s attitude, he could tell that this young man was not easy to fool. ¡°Yo, we are so engrossed in chatting with Chairman Luo that you didn¡¯t realize that the tea was tasteless. Little Ji, quickly make a pot of new tea.¡± Chairman Xiong saw that Luo Feng seemed to be very interested in the tea leaves and hurriedly refilled his cup. He was not depressed. From another perspective, Luo Feng was young but smart. This made Chairman Xiong feel even more at ease. If it was a stupid kid who was arrogant and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth with just a little achievement, the higher the starting point, the worse he would fall. He would not be able to control the company and his investment would be wasted. The three of them did not do anything else and focused on chatting while waiting for tea to be served. Chairman Xiong went straight to the point. ¡°Chairman Luo, we¡¯re all smart people. I won¡¯t beat around the bush with you. Zishan is quite interested in your company.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard this. She had been very nervous since she entered, worried that she would make a mistake and be rude. It was very tiring to be tense, and Luo Feng and Chairman Luo always chatted about unimportant things. This time, they finally got to the point. She looked at Luo Feng and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, feeling a little proud. Even though Ai Tingya did not directly participate in Gather Sift Takeaway, this was Luo Feng¡¯s company. To be able to obtain the favor of the investment world¡¯s top company, didn¡¯t this mean that Luo Feng¡¯s business talent was impressive? She was like this. She would be happy if Luo Feng succeeded after achieving something even if it was not her. Ai Tingya had seen all the time and energy that Luo Feng had spent on Gather Sift Takeaway in the past six months. He had managed the company from nothing in a short period of time. There were even big investment companies that took the initiative to come knocking on his door. Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration for Luo Feng. She was so full that she was about to overflow. This made her forget for a moment that she was in Chairman Xiong¡¯s office. Even though it was not a big move, Chairman Xiong, who was sitting opposite the two of them, saw it even if he did not want to. The first lesson of investment was how to recognize people. Ai Tingya¡¯s thoughts could not be hidden from the wily old fox, slippery one. Chairman Xiong was already old. To him, youth seemed to be something from his previous life. The sudden appearance of a beautiful girl filled with love and the scorching aura of youth assaulted his face. The old man silently covered his chest, as if his heart was sore. All the employees were busy making money in their serious work environment, and no one was doing youth romance. This was not bullying! They had to pay attention to the occasion when they were in a relationship! Chapter 230 - 230 Something I Regret Very Much. Do You Know What It Is About? 230 Something I Regret Very Much. Do You Know What It Is About? Luo Feng did not notice Ai Tingya at first, but Chairman Xiong¡¯s gaze told him that the girl beside him was acting abnormally. Luo Feng turned his head and met Ai Tingya¡¯s sincere gaze. Seeing that she had been exposed, Ai Tingya immediately lowered her head, her ears turning red. ¡°Ahem¡­ Where was I just¡­¡± Chairman Xiong almost forgot his words. ¡°Yes, our company thinks very highly of Gather Sift Takeaway!¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Thank you for your praise, Chairman Xiong.¡± If he had a teacup in his hand, Luo Feng would definitely toast Chairman Xiong with tea instead of wine. Unfortunately, the new tea had yet to be served, so Luo Feng could only thank him verbally. He could not help but feel a little indifferent. ¡°¡­¡± The glib-tongued Chairman Xiong fell silent. Luo Feng was not in high spirits. It was a little awkward no matter what he said next. Ai Tingya, who came with Luo Feng, was so excited, but Luo Feng was still as stable as Mount Tai, as if Chairman Xiong was discussing the weather with him. To be honest, it was very depressing. ¡°Uh¡­ um¡­¡± Chairman Xiong forced himself to continue. ¡°Our Zishan is an investment company that is dedicated to helping enterprises develop and helping entrepreneurs realize their dreams. In our early years, we invested in many high-quality companies, such as¡­¡± Chairman Xiong began to introduce Zishan¡¯s historical results. Luo Feng had understood it before coming, but it had to be said that hearing it with his own ears was another matter. Zishan¡¯s investment covered almost all aspects of the Internet, from shopping websites, social media apps, to search engines. Almost all investment companies that the public could name had their money behind it. In the past two years, group purchasing had gradually become popular, so Zishan began to plan around group purchasing. Zishan could be said to have covered the entire Internet, including the up-and-coming application softwares in the future. Not every company was especially successful. Luo Feng knew that many companies that were favored now would end in the future. However, they had once developed and earned money for Zishan. Moreover, as long as one of them successfully made it to the end, Zishan would definitely make a profit. The return on investment could be said to be terrifyingly high. When Chairman Xiong mentioned his previous results, he would subconsciously brag. Luo Feng could understand this feeling. He listened very seriously, and Director Xiong was also very happy. He thought to himself that he had finally piqued this kid¡¯s interest. It was not in vain that he had tried his best to say so much. However, as he spoke, Chairman Xiong sensed that something was wrong. Why did it feel like Luo Feng¡¯s gaze was burning, and his overly focused mind was more like he was listening to a story? He did not seem to be thinking at all and was only interested in the follow-up¡­ His mouth was dry from talking while this kid treated his words like an audiobook! Chairman Xiong closed his mouth gloomily. A trace of regret flashed across Luo Feng¡¯s face, as if he was about to ask. He was indeed listening to a story? ¡°Chairman Luo, what do you think?¡± ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng did not seem to have reacted. ¡°¡­¡± Chairman Xiong said patiently, ¡°It¡¯s about the cooperation between our two companies.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ So you¡¯re talking about this¡­¡± Luo Feng had an expression that said, ¡°Why did you go around in such a huge circle?¡± It was as if he was telling Chairman Xiong that he should have said so earlier. Why did he have to say so many prefixes? He felt tired on behalf of him. Chairman Xiong seemed to be suffering in silence. This Luo Feng was really smart. He was so smart that he didn¡¯t look like he was pretending to be stupid. Luo Feng thought for a moment and smiled. ¡°Investment¡­ is pretty good.¡± Chairman Xiong heaved a sigh of relief. The topic had finally taken a step forward. His dry mouth had not been wasted. Before he could vent his anger, he heard Luo Feng say, ¡°But I don¡¯t lack money.¡± ¡°Cough! Cough, cough, cough!¡± Chairman Xiong choked on his saliva and could not stop coughing. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya hurriedly stood up to pat his back. Ji Yang, who was pouring tea, also returned at this moment. He was extremely anxious when he saw Chairman Xiong cough until his face was red. He had never seen the Chairman in such a sorry state. ¡°Chairman Xiong, can you take a sip of tea?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t drink water now. It¡¯ll be fine if I cough it all out.¡± ¡°Go get some tissues for Chairman Xiong!¡± The three of them were flustered, but Chairman Xiong did not hear a word. He had lived for so long, really! He had really never heard of anyone not lacking in money. Not to mention those entrepreneurs who always complained about being poor in front of him, even ancient emperors had to worry about the expenses of the entire country even if they owned the world. No one was like Luo Feng, who clearly said that he was not short of money! ¡°Ahem! Ahem!¡± Chairman Xiong coughed for a while before gradually calming down. He forced a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Chairman Luo, I¡¯ve embarrassed myself.¡± ¡°Are you really fine? Have a sip of tea.¡± Luo Feng personally handed Chairman Xiong a cup of tea. ¡°Thank you, please take a seat.¡± Chairman Xiong looked at him awkwardly and continued, ¡°Um, Chairman Luo, I¡¯m also a businessman. Which company doesn¡¯t lack money? Moreover¡­ As far as I know, Gather Sift Takeaway has yet to turn a profit, right?¡± It was not easy to inquire about Luo Feng¡¯s situation, but it was easy to inquire about Gather Sift Takeaway. Chairman Xiong had done his homework in advance. ¡°There¡¯s indeed no profit.¡± Luo Feng told the truth and did not hide anything. ¡°But I can still afford to lose this amount of money!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chairman Xiong was speechless. Ji Yang, who had just gone to pour tea, had never heard such heaven-defying comments. His expression was uncontrollable as he stared at Luo Feng with wide eyes, as if he was looking at a monster. He did not know if he was too young or if his strength was really so strong. Chairman Xiong was so tired. He was not even this tired when he stayed up late to work overtime. He might as well chat with Luo Feng instead of discussing business with him. At the very least, he would not die every time. The corners of his mouth twitched, feeling a little regretful. Why did he want to invest in the takeaway industry so much? Moreover, he had encountered an unpredictable entrepreneur like Luo Feng¡­ If not for the fact that the takeaway industry was really upcoming¡­ Chairman Xiong endured it thinking of this! He raised his head and drank a cup of tea to calm himself down. It didn¡¯t matter! A man should be flexible! Nothing was too shabby in earning money! ¡°The online takeaway market is still immature now. We would need a lot of funds to nurture it, right?¡± Chairman Xiong took out his signature smile to discuss business. ¡°Our Zishan has a certain amount of resources. Coupled with the investment, Gather Sift Takeaway can develop faster!¡± He refused to believe that Luo Feng did not have any financial needs. With the burning of money for online takeaways, it could empty a mountain of gold and silver. Not to mention how strong Luo Feng¡¯s background was at such a young age. ¡°Chairman Luo, let¡¯s not beat around the bush. If Zishan invests in Gather Sift Takeaway, you¡¯ll soon develop a second market and even promote it throughout the country. Look, Are You Hungry is already working hard!¡± Chairman Xiong had said all kinds of good things! Why did he have to facilitate this cooperation? It was because Are You Hungry had already entered their second city. Gather Sift Takeaway was clearly not strong enough. He did not believe that Luo Feng was not anxious! He continued to lobby. ¡°Chairman Luo, don¡¯t you want Gather Sift Takeaway to develop into a well-known takeaway giant?¡± Luo Feng fell silent and was not in a hurry to answer. ¡°Chairman Xiong, do you know what I regret the most?¡± Luo Feng changed the topic and asked softly when Chairman Xiong thought that he had finally caught him off-guard. Chapter 231 - 231 The Business Is Too Big, It Makes Me Regret It! 231 The Business Is Too Big, It Makes Me Regret It! ¡°Regret about?¡± Chairman Xiong asked curiously, looking at Luo Feng¡¯s sincere expression. Chairman Xiong still admired Luo Feng from the bottom of his heart. He had not been able to get into a top university when he was Luo Feng¡¯s age. Like most people, he had unrealistic dreams. How could he have such a big career like Luo Feng? He even had such a beautiful girlfriend¡­ At this moment, Chairman Xiong was so polite to Luo Feng because this person was different from ordinary entrepreneurs. He already had a certain amount of capital at such a young age. In the eyes of others, Luo Feng could be said to be extremely lucky and powerful. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a genius. Chairman Xiong was very curious. What else could Luo Feng regret in such a smooth-sailing life? Luo Feng looked at the vast world outside through the floor-to-ceiling window and said faintly, ¡°What I regret the most is the establishment of Good Me and Gather Sift.¡± ¡°???¡± Chairman Xiong¡¯s disdainful expression flashed across his face. They were industries that others could only be envious of, but Luo Feng actually said that he regretted it. Was this human language? Chairman Xiong could vaguely sense a hint of pretense. Zishan might not be interested in the food and beverage industry, with Chairman Xiong¡¯s sharp business sense, he knew that Good Me was not as simple as becoming popular. Speaking of which, wasn¡¯t Good Me the high-end milk tea in the city that Luo Feng studied in? ¡°Chairman Xiong, look. Originally, my fianc¨¦e and I could open seven branches easily. She would be the lady boss and I would be the boss. We husband and wife would be together everyday and be inseparable. We would be very happy. However, she was so busy that she didn¡¯t have the time to care about me.¡± Luo Feng felt bitter. Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and rolled her eyes at Luo Feng. Outsiders might not know, but how could she not know? Good Me¡¯s development had always been according to Luo Feng¡¯s plan. Luo Feng did not say that when he was fooling her in the past! When Chairman Xiong and Ji Yang heard this, their facial features twisted together unconsciously. They felt that something was amiss. Luo Feng acted as if he did not see their expressions and continued to talk to Chen Qing. ¡°As for Gather Sift Takeaway, I actually only wanted to help my classmates at first, but I didn¡¯t expect the company to develop so quickly!¡± He felt extremely aggrieved. ¡°Actually, I just wanted to invest simply. In the end, I accidentally became a major shareholder! I still have to come over to discuss business on a day like the Spring Festival when families are reunited. Chairman Xiong, you must understand my difficulties, right? To be honest, the company is developing too quickly. I¡¯m really tired¡­ Now that you¡¯re talking about expanding to the entire country¡­¡± Luo Feng was worried and sad¡­ Chairman Xiong really wanted to scold him when he heard his complaints. He was scheming! Only a fool wouldn¡¯t be able to tell! Chairman Xiong finally understood. Luo Feng seemed to be joking and kept bringing up other topics, but his attitude was already very clear. Luo Feng did not desire Zishan¡¯s investment! In fact, there were no ripples in his heart! Chairman Xiong was a smart person. What he was thinking was exactly what Luo Feng was thinking. Luo Feng did not value Zishan¡¯s investment, but it was not that he was unwilling to sell his shares. He did not rely on shares to make a living after all. Or rather, he was quite happy to sell his shares. Even if he cashed out his shares now, when the company developed in the future, he would burn money to get a return. He could slowly recover the losses from selling his shares. Thinking about it, he could even buy the shares back later. As time passed, not only would Luo Feng not lose the shares, the funds in his hands would also increase. He could even earn back the money he had spent on the shares. It was another income. It was equivalent to money to wash the system. It was legal and happy. However, he did not lack money now. Under such circumstances, the requirements for investment institutions became higher. Luo Feng did not care about funds. The main thing was resources. What Luo Feng needed were business resources! The problem now was that if Zishan wanted to bet on the two companies, they would definitely not help Gather Sift Takeaway wholeheartedly. Under such a mentality, how many resources could be biased towards Luo Feng? Luo Feng was temporarily puzzled. There was only one thought in his eyes with a smile on his face. ¡°Increase the price!¡± It was rare for Chairman Xiong to meet such a difficult person. He picked up the teacup in front of him and weighed which choice could maximize his benefits. ¡­ Just as Luo Feng and Chairman Xiong were doing tai chi in the office, a man in his thirties was brought to the living room by his secretary. ¡°Mr. Cui Kun, our Chairman is with a guest. Please wait here for a moment.¡± The female secretary smiled at Cui Kun. Cui Kun was in fear and trepidation. He hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll just wait here.¡± The female secretary smiled and brought him a glass of water, then closed the door and left. Cui Kun was left sitting alone in the empty living room. He nervously picked up the glass of water and kept rehearsing what to say next in his mind. As an entrepreneur, he was invited into the office of Zishan Investment Company and was about to see Chairman Xiong in person. To be honest, he was very nervous. Cui Kun¡¯s butt seemed to have thorns. He couldn¡¯t sit still. He stood up and walked around twice before sitting back on the sofa. Cui Kun was about to cry thinking about investments. His legs were about to break from running around in order to get investors. They either asked for the sky or were extremely unreliable. Ever since he started his business, he had seen at least 80 investors who were willing to invest in his company. This time, he came to Zishan because his friend had recommended him. That was why he had a chance to meet Chairman Xiong. Whether he succeeded or not depended on whether he could persuade Chairman Xiong. Listening to the commotion in the office next door, Chairman Xiong seemed to be meeting an important guest. He glanced at his watch. It was already past the time he had agreed with Chairman Xiong. Cui Kun was still a little glad that he had a few more minutes to prepare. He inhaled and exhaled, inhaled and exhaled, using this method to calm himself down. After taking a few deep breaths, Cui Kun felt a little calmer. However, he was still nervous. Speaking of which, the fact that he had the chance to meet Chairman Xiong meant that he still thought highly of Cui Kun¡¯s entrepreneurial project. Compared to those small-scale entrepreneurship projects, Cui Kun was still considered capable. At the thought of this, he felt a little proud. He stayed in the office alone, sitting, standing, and stretching his shoulders. Chairman Xiong¡¯s conversation lasted longer than he had expected. The female secretary had visited Cui Kun twice and told him to wait a little longer. Cui Kun smiled and said that there was no hurry. He wanted to see Chairman Xiong as soon as possible, but he also hoped that time would slow down. His mind was filled with all kinds of scenarios, and how he should respond to Chairman Xiong¡¯s answer. At this moment, the faint sound of discussion came from the office beside him. It wasn¡¯t loud, but the two sides exchanged blows and seemed to be very intense. There were times when they wouldn¡¯t give in to each other. This interested Cui Kun, and he couldn¡¯t help but lean against the wall and eavesdrop on the conversation on the other side. ¡­ In the office, Chairman Xiong looked at Luo Feng with three words written on his face. ¡°My head hurts!¡± Chapter 232 - 232 Tacit Understanding, The Carrot And The Stick 232 Tacit Understanding, The Carrot And The Stick Chairman Xiong had seen many entrepreneurs, but none of them was as difficult to deal with as Luo Feng. Even though Luo Feng said that he regretted all kinds of things, it seemed that he did not need an investment. If he really did not need it, he did not have to come all the way here. He could not have specially come to drink tea¡­ In the end, what Luo Feng wanted was not money, but other things, such as resources. If he encountered anyone else, Chairman Xiong might have flipped the table on the spot. After all, he was too arrogant and it would be difficult to control their future cooperation. He was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied. Did he have to ask someone to give him money? That made no sense. However, he was very optimistic about the prospects of online takeaways. Are You Hungry was now on par with Gather Sift. The other takeaways had started too late and would not be able to make it in the next two years. In comparison, Chairman Xiong was optimistic about Gather Sift Takeaway. After all, he knew about Are You Hungry entering the second market. Are You Hungry had suffered before Gather Sift Takeaway could take out a clear response. It could be said that it was being suppressed by Gather Sift Takeaway. As for when it could make a comeback and whether it could make a comeback, it was still unknown. Moreover, Are You Hungry and Gather Sift Takeaway were both student entrepreneurs. Even though Are You Hungry was a graduate student and looked a little more mature than Luo Feng and the others, business was not something that could be resolved by maturity. Luo Feng had created Good Me Milk Tea before he established the takeaway brand. When investigating Luo Feng, a portion of the information was about the milk tea market. Chairman Xiong knew that Good Me was a high-end brand that led the market in the milk tea industry. It could be said that it was almost unrivaled in a super front-line city. Having experience for successful entrepreneurship gave Luo Feng a lot of points. From Chairman Xiong¡¯s perspective, was Luo Feng¡¯s value alone comparable to Are You Hungry¡¯s entire team? The difficult problem facing Chairman Xiong now was that the Internet industry was a winner-take-all field. If Zishan wanted to invest in online takeaway, wouldn¡¯t she be able to avoid Are You Hungry and the gathering? Especially for Gather Sift Takeaway, which had a higher chance of winning. No matter what, Chairman Xiong hoped that they could successfully reach a cooperation. There was no point in beating around the bush with Luo Feng because he was more patient than anyone else. Chairman Xiong simply laid his cards on the table. ¡°Chairman Luo, I¡¯ll be straightforward. We used 20 million yuan to buy 15% of Are You Hungry¡¯s shares. Now, the company is willing to use 30 million yuan to buy 20% of your shares. It¡¯s not a small sum, right!¡± This was the greatest concession Chairman Xiong could give. They were not the only company that invested in Are You Hungry after all. There were several institutions that added up to 20 million yuan. 20 million yuan might not be a lot for a mature company. However, Are You Hungry had just started. This investment could push its valuation to hundreds of millions yuan! On the other hand, it could be considered biased to give 10 million more to buy 5% of the shares. Cui Kun, who was eavesdropping in the office next door, was drooling with envy. ¡°30 million yuan?¡± Luo Feng tilted his head and asked curiously, ¡°Do I need to pull in investments for 30 million yuan?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chairman Xiong did not know if this was the truth or a lie. Either way, it was still hurtful. When Cui Kun, who was in the other office, heard this, he gripped the proposal in his hand tightly. He was still heartbroken that Luo Feng had rejected 30 million yuan and wanted to rush over and cover his mouth. If Chairman Xiong could promise Cui Kun 30 million yuan in investment, Cui Kun would kneel on the spot and thank him. Unfortunately, his needs were not Luo Feng¡¯s. Chairman Xiong expressed that he was very bored. He really believed that Luo Feng did not lack money. This was because Luo Feng might not have been able to last long with the speed at which Gather Sift Takeaway burned money, if not for the fact that Luo Feng had a way to make money. Perhaps it was because Luo Feng had another industry. Actually, it was not a bad thing for Luo Feng to be rich either. The chances of an entrepreneur with capital and an entrepreneur without capital were very different after all. Investment companies were not poverty alleviation institutions. They would definitely find the party with the highest success rate to cooperate. The higher the success rate of the entrepreneur, the more money they would receive. Therefore, the more confident Luo Feng was, the stronger their desire to invest. However, speaking of which, it was not easy to deceive Luo Feng since he was rich. His request was to increase the cost of Zishan¡¯s investment¡­ Ai Tingya elbowed Luo Feng. Not only did this guy like to spend money recklessly, but he also liked to tell everyone that he liked to spend money. Wasn¡¯t it obvious that he was not giving the investment company face? ¡°Chairman Luo, Chairman Xiong is so sincere. We should consider it carefully!¡± Ai Tingya chuckled to smooth things over. When Chairman Xiong heard Ai Tingya¡¯s words, he could not help but look grateful. It was not easy. Someone finally put in a good word for him! This young lady was serious and not bad. She was good-looking and kind-hearted. She was a good person! Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya and realized that she was secretly smiling at him. She seemed to be a little smug. Luo Feng could not help but be secretly shocked. Ai Tingya was playing good cop with him! Smart! She had followed him for so long. This tacit understanding was indeed not just for show. Luo Feng almost did not react. Luo Feng was not against investing just as Zishan thought. As long as the shares in Xie Yan and the others¡¯ hands did not change, the profits that Luo Feng could obtain would not change after all. Selling the shares to Zishan was equivalent to a cash withdrawal. Even though Luo Feng was not short of money, he was really greedy for the other resources of the Zishan Corporation. In terms of connections alone,for example. Ai Tingya and him were both students from a small county after all. They almost did not have any social connections, let alone know any professional high-end talents. Previously, when Good Me Milk Tea was established, he accidentally recruited Song Anrong. That was because Luo Feng was lucky. However, it was impossible for his luck to be so good every time. Moreover, Gather Sift Takeaway was an Internet company and had an extremely strong demand for talents. It was not that he doubted the strength of Xie Yan and his team, but people had to grow. No matter how strong Xie Yan was, he was only a freshman with good potential and needed time to train. During this period, Luo Feng needed someone with great skills to be Xie Yan¡¯s guide. Therefore, he needed connections! Coincidentally, Zishan appeared at this time. This company had been in the Internet field for many years. They had more or less come into contact with the big shots in the industry. Recommending a few talents was just a favor to them. Luo Feng¡¯s attitude was very firm. He had made it clear from the beginning that he hoped that Zishan could provide resources other than money. Ai Tingya watched and understood Luo Feng¡¯s deeper meaning. Her job was to ease the tense atmosphere when Chairman Xiong was about to flip the table. It was to ensure that this negotiation would not collapse halfway. The timing needed to be especially precise. It was not that Chairman Xiong did not understand the other party¡¯s negotiating skills with the whip and candy. It was mainly because Zishan also wanted to continue the negotiation. The two sides reached a subtle tacit understanding and polished the framework of their cooperation bit by bit with Ai Tingya as a matchmaker. Chapter 233 - 233 Connections Are Useful, There Was One At The Door 233 Connections Are Useful, There Was One At The Door Cui Kun pressed against the wall and listened to the voices in the office beside him with mixed feelings. During the negotiation process, Luo Feng could be said to be unmoved by force or persuasion, as if he did not care if Zishan invested in him or not. What Cui Kun did not understand was that Zishan did not seem to mind facing such an arrogant entrepreneur. Not only did he not mind, but the tougher Luo Feng¡¯s attitude was, the softer Chairman Xiong¡¯s attitude became, and he kept increasing the price of his investment. He seemed to be very eager to invest in Luo Feng¡¯s company. This unbelievable conversation reminded Cui Kun of himself. He had begged many friends and spent a lot of money to smooth things over in order to meet the Chairman of Zishan Corporation once. He was quite proud before coming here. He felt that being able to see Chairman Xiong meant that his entrepreneurship was valuable and had a future. Many people would not be able to squeeze through Zishan¡¯s door even if they racked their brains. Now that he heard the conversation in the office, Cui Kun finally understood what it meant that there was always someone better. He was at a loss¡­ So there would be a day when investors would lower their stances¡­ This situation reminded him of his university days. At that time, he was still a humble bootlicker. His heart was the softest place for his goddess. He squeezed out a portion of his limited monthly living expenses to buy snacks and breakfast for his goddess. He knew that one day, Cui Kun had unintentionally discovered that his goddess was asking about the most handsome boy in the faculty and took the initiative to give him meticulous care. Cui Kun was enlightened. So his goddess was also a bootlicker to others. Now that he heard the conversation in the office beside him, this familiar feeling returned. However, the goddess had become Zishan and Luo Feng had become that handsome man. Only Cui Kun was still the lowest-level bootlicker he used to be. It made him feel very uncomfortable. ¡­ Luo Feng and Chairman Xiong¡¯s negotiation lasted until past four in the afternoon. Sometimes, it was really difficult to play Tai Chi with smart people. Luo Feng stopped while he was ahead. Gather Sift Takeaway had just started and its valuation was not too high after all. Zishan had used 40 million yuan to buy 20% of Luo Feng¡¯s shares, so the valuation of Gather Sift Takeaway was 200 million yuan. It was double that of Are You Hungry! This way, Luo Feng actually had much fewer shares than Xie Yan¡¯s team. Now, Xie Yan¡¯s team held 49% of the shares, which was almost half. Luo Feng still had 31% left. If he sold a portion, he would still be the largest shareholder. Zishan had 20% of the shares. In order to facilitate this cooperation, Zishan agreed to a few more requests from Luo Feng. Firstly, of course, it was the connections and resources that Luo Feng cared about the most. The related cooperation was also because Zishan was pulling strings. Secondly, Luo Feng also held Zishan¡¯s shares on behalf of them. This meant that the right to vote would be handed over to Luo Feng. This was to ensure Luo Feng¡¯s control over Gather Sift Takeaway. Luo Feng was not worried about Xie Yan playing him out. There was no need to worry about rushing out of the declaration of gratitude before sending it. Most importantly, he did not want Zishan to interfere in the development of Gather Sift Takeaway. This was also the reason why he rejected Yan Kaize¡¯s investment in Good Me. Doing business was like driving a big ship. Having a helmsman was enough. Luo Feng was very determined even though Zishan was a little unwilling. Their willingness to invest was stronger than Luo Feng¡¯s willingness to accept the investment. Both sides argued for a long time. In the end, Chairman Xiong was the first to compromise. After the cooperation was finalized, the tense atmosphere between the two sides disappeared. Luo Feng was the first to express his goodwill. ¡°Chairman Xiong, I¡¯m sorry. I offended you just now. How about this? It¡¯s getting late. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal.¡± Chairman Xiong and Ji Yang also smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine. We¡¯re doing business. But Chairman Luo, we¡¯ve invested a lot in your company this time. The reputation I¡¯ve accumulated over half my life is entrusted to you.¡± Chairman Xiong sighed. The cost of investing in Gather Sift Takeaway was much higher than he had estimated. He was still a little confused. If not for the development blueprint that Luo Feng mentioned at the end that moved him, he might really have chosen to give up on the cooperation. He was indeed taking a risk to a certain extent. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ji Yang walked to the door and opened it. A man with a long face and thick documents in his hand stood outside the door. Cui Kun was also anxious from waiting, so he simply walked from the reception room to the door and waited. He had heard that they were preparing to get off work for dinner just now. He was really in despair. Chairman Xiong only remembered that he had an appointment with another entrepreneur in the afternoon after seeing him. He thought that he would be able to take down Luo Feng, a university student, in two hours at most. He did not expect that after spending the entire afternoon with him he was so focused that he completely forgot that there was a guest waiting. It was rude to stand someone up whether they invest or not in the end. Chairman Xiong could only smile awkwardly. Cui Kun did not dare to complain openly. He could only look at Luo Feng resentfully, like a scumbag who had hooked his goddess when he was studying. Luo Feng was at a loss. He looked down at his clothes and touched his face. There seemed to be nothing that strangers should hate about him. His shoulder suddenly sank. Chairman Xiong slapped his thigh and smiled. ¡°Chairman Luo, didn¡¯t you say that you were looking for an algorithm expert? There¡¯s one here right now!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Feng looked at Cui Kun. Cui Kun was also confused. What? Not only did he fail to get an investment, he was also going to be given away? Bootlickers have dignity too, okay! However, Cui Kun had a favor to ask of Zishan and could not express his displeasure too much, just like how Cui Kun could not refuse his goddess back then. He stood obediently at the side and listened to Chairman Xiong. He made up his mind. If he could have the investment, he could endure being forcefully arranged jobs. Otherwise¡­ he would have a backbone! ¡°Perfect. Chairman Luo, let me introduce you. This is Cui Kun, graduated with a Ph.D. from the Computer Faculty at Boston University. He¡¯s considered my junior.¡± Chairman Xiong was still very enthusiastic. He studied abroad in his early years and studied for a master¡¯s degree at Boston University. It was at school that he got to know the then Chairman of Zishan Global. After graduation, he successfully joined the company. Chairman Xiong had many precious memories of his alma mater. He had even established a scholarship for his alma mater after graduation, so he valued his alumni from the same school. Cui Kun being able to enter his line of sight was also partly because of his alumni status. However, Luo Feng was not affected. He had a pair of discerning eyes. He did not look at backgrounds or famous schools, but Cui Kun in front of him did interest him. The investment potential on Cui Kun¡¯s head was indeed not in vain for Chairman Xiong¡¯s special introduction. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to fault about my junior¡¯s skills. He worked at Google in Country A for a few years and became a department supervisor. Many large companies extended an olive branch to him after he returned.¡± Chairman Xiong knew Cui Kun quite well. ¡°However, he had the heart to start a business, so he came out to do it alone.¡± Chapter 234 - 234 A Talented Junior Who Focused On Entrepreneurship 234 A Talented Junior Who Focused On Entrepreneurship Chairman Xiong¡¯s introduction quickly made Luo Feng understand what kind of person Cui Kun was. Simply put, he was technically capable but he was determined to start a business. However, looking at how humble he was standing at the entrance of the investment office, it seemed that he was not very successful in starting a business. ¡°Chairman Xiong, you flatter me¡­ You flatter me¡­¡± Cui Kun smiled shyly when he heard Chairman Xiong praise him. When he returned to China, he was indeed ambitious and many companies invited him. However, Cui Kun felt that a good man should go out and adventure, so he focused on starting a business. However, what he did not expect was that entrepreneurship and high-end technology were two completely different things. Cui Kun felt that it was necessary to make his stand clear. He glanced at Luo Feng and said to Chairman Xiong, ¡°Chairman Xiong, you know that I have no intention of working for others now.¡± Chairman Xiong took the proposal from Cui Kun¡¯s hand and flipped through it. ¡°Cui Kun, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you, but how are you going to solve the profits of your current project? Where will the money come from?¡± Cui Kun paused for a moment and did not say anything. Luo Feng was interested. ¡°May I ask what project you¡¯re working on?¡± ¡°It¡¯s cloud-computing related!¡± Cui Kun became spirited and introduced a lot about the skills that he was so passionate about. However, among the people present, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya specialized in finance. Chairman Xiong and Ji Yang did not learn computing, so Luo Feng only understood a little. The others did not know what he was talking about at all. At first, Cui Kun was very enthusiastic, but as he spoke, he sensed that the atmosphere was not right. Their eyes were unfocused, and it was obvious that they were starting to lose focus. He was all too familiar with this expression. It was always like this. He had said a lot, but not many people understood what he meant. He looked around helplessly, but Luo Feng¡¯s reaction surprised him. Luo Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as he focused on him. He seemed to understand what he was talking about! ¡­ Luo Feng could indeed understand. For no other reason than that he was someone who had been reborn. The future Internet relied heavily on cloud computing. This technology was indispensable if Luo Feng needed to develop a takeout app. While Delivery apps in the future would rely on cloud computing to cheat merchants and delivery men, Luo Feng would use it to distribute benefits on both sides if he mastered it. In the following two years, there would be new technologies that would affect the Internet industry, including artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing. This concept was not very pervasive in China yet. Cui Kun dared to start a business here. It had to be said that his sense of smell was very sharp. It could be seen that his technical skills were also very strong. However, Luo Feng paid attention to cloud computing not because it was profitable, but because it burned money. To Luo Feng, a project that burned money was the best! Chairman Xiong didn¡¯t want to invest in Cui Kun because he didn¡¯t know much about cloud computing. Moreover, Cui Kun was poor. He might lose everything doing cloud computing. In his previous life, Alibaba had invested a billion yuan a year for ten years. It could be seen how much money it burned, but Luo Feng liked it! He was not very interested when Chairman Xiong introduced him just now but now he realized that Cui Kun was a rare talent! Luo Feng did not hide his burning gaze at all. He looked at Cui Kun like a hungry wolf looking at a tender lamb leg. One had to know that he had been waiting for such a long time for a talent who would spend money like water! ¡°Cui Kun, are you willing to come to my company?¡± Luo Feng could not wait to extend the invitation. ¡°This¡­¡± Cui Kun swallowed. Why did he feel that Luo Feng was looking at him like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit? He was not afraid of Luo Feng, but he was worried about offending Zishan¡¯s Chairman Xiong. Chairman Xiong seemed to like Luo Feng very much and even relented on the investment conditions again and again. Cui Kun decided to stick to his principles after thinking about it seriously for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Luo. Starting a business is my dream. I still hope that I can achieve something.¡± He said apologetically. He would not have returned from overseas or would have directly accepted the invitation from the big companies if he was content about working for someone. Why would he wait for Luo Feng to invite him? Cui Kun believed that Luo Feng, who was also an entrepreneur, would definitely understand his thoughts. Hearing this, Luo Feng nodded. He was not angry. Cui Kun was not the only person in the country who knew cloud computing after all. It was just that Luo Feng happened to see Cui Kun and felt that he needed to invite him. He said casually, ¡°It¡¯s a pity. If you¡¯re willing to come to our company, I¡¯m prepared to push forward my plan to compete with Ma Yun¡¯s Computing Project.¡± Chairman Xiong asked with interest, ¡°Oh? Chairman Luo knows about computers too?¡± He was a little surprised. Alibaba was the only one doing cloud computing projects in the country now. It was too expensive, and other small companies did not dare to get involved. Luo Feng dared to compete with such a big name even though his was just a small take-out company that had just started? This surprised Chairman Xiong. Cui Kun pricked up his ears. Luo Feng sighed regretfully. If Cui Kun refused to come, he would have to find another talent. Even though Zishan¡¯s connections would definitely not disappoint him, there would definitely be many more things and trouble¡­ However, he really liked cloud computing and did not want to let go of such a good project, or rather, such a money-burning project. ¡°Yes. Gather Sift Takeaway was originally paired with Good Me,¡± Luo Feng said to Chairman Xiong. ¡°It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have any ideas about other Internet projects.¡± Xie Yan and the others still needed time to grow. During this period, Luo Feng could only find another talent. He smiled at Chairman Xiong and said, ¡°We need a lot of talent here. We need your help, Chairman Xiong.¡± He asked Zishan to join the team because he hoped that their connections could help. ¡°To be honest, Chairman Luo, don¡¯t take offense. Your company is still too small. It¡¯s not as attractive as other large companies¡­¡± Chairman Xiong shook his head. ¡°I know that too,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m willing to give out shares.¡± This method surprised Chairman Xiong. Zishan had just invested in Gather Sift Takeaway and should be valued at 200 million yuan now. The value of its shares had also doubled. It was indeed a tempting condition. ¡°When I go back, I¡¯ll expand the shareholding ratio of my employees. If any technical expert is willing to come onboard, I can give out share options,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°I hope Chairman Xiong can help me pass the message when the time comes.¡± Luo Feng would definitely increase his investment in the future in order to ensure the share ratio of Xie Yan¡¯s team would not be diluted. Luo Feng would definitely take out a fixed share ratio for his employees. At this moment, Cui Kun, who was beside him, could not sit still anymore. ¡°Pardon me for asking, but Mr. Luo, is the shareholding ratio of your company¡¯s employees high?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not high now,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Oh.¡± Cui Kun felt that he was overthinking¡­ ¡°About 20 to 30%.¡± Xie Yan¡¯s team¡¯s shareholding ratio was 49%. However, a portion of it was in the hands of Xie Yan¡¯s father. It was not considered an employee¡¯s shareholding. Luo Feng chose his words carefully. Chapter 235 - 235 Do You Dare To Not Want The Shares I Gift To You? 235 Do You Dare To Not Want The Shares I Gift To You? Luo Feng had already decided that no matter how much he invested in the future, he had to ensure that the shares of the management of Gather Sift Takeaway exceeded 30% or even 40%! The current ratio was still far from Luo Feng¡¯s ideal ratio. ¡°20% to 30%¡± Cui Kun¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. With the current situation in the country, very few entrepreneurial teams allowed their employees to hold 20% to 30% of the shares. The way he looked at Luo Feng suddenly softened from vigilance. ¡°Cough! Mr. Luo, I¡¯ve thought about it carefully.¡± Cui Kun suddenly laughed. ¡°I think your company agrees with my philosophy.¡± Everyone looked at Cui Kun in surprise. Cui Kun¡¯s face was a little red, but he did not mind. He was not a fool. He might not be able to get as many shares as Luo Feng was offering if he started his own business! Moreover, since Luo Feng knew about cloud computing, he would know that cloud computing was a money-burning project. Under such circumstances, the fact that Luo Feng was still willing to invite him meant that Luo Feng was quite confident. In that case, it was more worth it to work for Luo Feng or to start his own business. He now understood that Chairman Xiong had probably seen him because of his connection. He had probably called him over to reject him in person. Chairman Xiong would not have pushed him to Luo Feng the moment he arrived if he had any intention of investing after all. ¡°But¡­ didn¡¯t you say that entrepreneurship is your dream?¡± Ai Tingya asked weakly. She was a good student no matter where she was. She always displayed the precious quality of ¡°ask if I don¡¯t understand¡±. Cui Kun said seriously, ¡°Everyone has a dream. One has to be down-to-earth in order to realize it!¡± He threw caution to the wind and hurriedly changed his words. Face? Face was definitely not as important as dreams. Only those who could risk everything to achieve their goals were truly impressive. However, his change was a little fast and was clearly not convincing. Chairman Xiong suddenly felt that it was not impossible to invest in Cui Kun. With Cui Kun¡¯s thick skin, he should be able to survive no matter which industry he was in after all. ¡°Anything¡­ anything¡­¡± Luo Feng¡¯s answer was a little perfunctory. He held his stomach and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we chat over some food?¡± ¡­ The cooperation with Zishan needed to be further refined. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya needed to stay in Shanghai for the time being. They could also understand the market in Shanghai more and prepare to build their foundation. Luo Feng first registered an investment company and merged the shares of Good Me and Gather Sift Takeaway into this company. This was because Luo Feng had invested in both sides. Luo Feng would not be able to handle it alone if they were managed separately. He might as well open a company to merge and manage it. He could also find a few employees to help. Not only that, Luo Feng had other considerations. ¡°You said you want to give me 20% of the shares of the investment company?¡± When Ai Tingya heard Luo Feng¡¯s plan, her first reaction was shock. Luo Feng could not help but sigh in his heart. They had been together for so long, but Ai Tingya was still so serious when she heard about the shares. Couldn¡¯t she just accept it happily? ¡°I¡¯m not giving it to you for free. I want you to use Good Me¡¯s shares to exchange for it!¡± Luo Feng explained. He had calculated carefully. According to Milk Tea¡¯s current development trend, Good Me was steadily making profits. There would be enough profits after one month to expand two more shops. Luo Feng didn¡¯t need to invest at all. Milk Tea had no potential for development unless he expanded crazily. If that was the case, Ai Tingya would be confined to the milk tea company, and the rebate would not be of much use to her. Therefore, Luo Feng planned to use a new company to exchange for Ai Tingya¡¯s shares. This way, no matter which company Luo Feng invested in in the future, he would be able to get a return from Ai Tingya. However, Luo Feng only wanted 20% of Ai Tingya¡¯s 30% shares in the milk tea shop in order not to appear too abrupt. However, Luo Feng knew that he would have to spend a lot of effort to get this 20%. ¡°No! I can¡¯t accept it. Good Me Milk Tea¡¯s valuation is not worth so many shares!¡± Ai Tingya refused decisively. She wasn¡¯t a fool. Gather Sift Takeaway had just received 30 million yuan in investment and the company was now valued at 200 million yuan. The valuation of Gather Sift Takeaway and Good Me together was definitely a lot higher than one company! Cui Kun looked at the two of them arguing, his face filled with confusion. If someone was willing to give him so many shares, he would immediately kneel down and kowtow twice. Ever since he agreed to join Luo Feng¡¯s company, he had been following Luo Feng and waiting to be assigned to work. This might be one of the few benefits of working for others. There was no need to worry about it. Someone above was thinking about what work to do every day. As the person who arranged the work, Luo Feng also had a headache, especially when he faced Ai Tingya. He gave Cui Kun a look. ¡°Understood!¡± Cui Kun was very sensible and exited the room by himself. Cracks appeared on Ai Tingya¡¯s tough outer shell when only the two of them were left in the room. Luo Feng, who was opposite her, looked at her intently, and there seemed to be other emotions in his eyes. ¡°You¡­ What are you doing¡­¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s attitude softened. Luo Feng did not speak and only looked at Ai Tingya. ¡°You think it¡¯s okay just because you don¡¯t say anything? I won¡¯t agree¡­ Ugh!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s small mouth was suddenly blocked by Luo Feng before she could finish speaking. Ai Tingya placed her hands on Luo Feng¡¯s chest. At first, she wanted to push him away. As the kiss deepened, she gradually lost her strength. In the end, she could only lean weakly in Luo Feng¡¯s arms. When Luo Feng let go of Ai Tingya, her eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Won¡¯t we get married in the future?¡± Ai Tingya heard Luo Feng whisper in her ear. Her mind was in a mess as she nodded according to Luo Feng¡¯s instructions. ¡°Then aren¡¯t my shares and yours the same thing?¡± Ai Tingya reacted for two seconds before she regained some of her senses. She tried her best to say, ¡°How is that the same¡­ Mmm!¡± Luo Feng did not give her a chance to refute and shut Ai Tingya up again. In order to let Ai Tingya know the consequences of ¡°disobeying¡±, Luo Feng¡¯s hand on her waist began to roam around Ai Tingya¡¯s body restlessly. It was like a light feather, making Ai Tingya¡¯s skin burn wherever it passed. Ai Tingya was dizzy. The numbing feeling made her feel that something was wrong. This was not a hotel, but an empty office building. They were prepared to rent a new office and use it as a new base to take root in Shanghai. Even though there were only the two of them in the room, Cui Kun and the sales consultant were hiding outside the door. Who knew if this office was soundproof or not? Ai Tingya suddenly woke up in alarm. She didn¡¯t know where she got the strength from, but she forcefully pushed Luo Feng away and said, ¡°There¡¯s someone else here! ¡± ¡°So do you agree?¡± Luo Feng pinched Ai Tingya¡¯s chin with a wicked smile. He was prepared to block Ai Tingya¡¯s lips at any time as long as she said something that he didn¡¯t want to hear! Chapter 236 - 236 Do You Have Experience In The Affairs Of Standing In The Family? 236 Do You Have Experience In The Affairs Of Standing In The Family? ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Ai Tingya glared at Luo Feng. She did not expect Luo Feng to use this move! Despicable! She clenched her fists and bit her lip. She lowered her head and did not look at Luo Feng, silently resisting Luo Feng¡¯s ¡°power¡±! Her face was filled with ¡°unyielding-ness!¡± Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and gradually increased his actions. ¡°Do you agree?¡± he asked softly again. ¡°I¡­¡± Ai Tingya panicked and wanted to retreat from Luo Feng¡¯s arms. Unexpectedly, the more she resisted, the more impudent Luo Feng became, and the more he moved. ¡°Yes! I agree!¡± Ai Tingya panicked. If this continued, she was really afraid that Luo Feng would be serious about it. ¡°It would have been better if you had agreed earlier.¡± Luo Feng stopped. Luo Feng really did not want to stop looking at Ai Tingya panting sweetly in his arms. However, he was not someone who would lose his mind because of lust. He stopped at the edge of morality. Ai Tingya crawled out of his arms and skipped three steps away from Luo Feng to tidy up her clothes. Then, she turned around and glared at Luo Feng. ¡°Why are you so bad!¡± Ai Tingya pouted in embarrassment and anger. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Luo Feng could only sigh. He was a gentleman and a villain at the same time. Would he have to go through so much trouble if it were any other girl? He could even be rejected for giving her shares. No one would believe it. ¡°Actually, I want you to come to the investment company to help me,¡± Luo Feng comforted softly. With Ai Tingya¡¯s talent, it was impossible for her to be limited to milk tea. In her previous life, Ai Tingya worked hard alone and became a domineering female CEO. But now that Luo Feng was leading the way, she was completely relaxed and became very easily satisfied. He couldn¡¯t let Ai Tingya give up her potential, right? Luo Feng felt that it was necessary to increase the intensity. ¡°Then just say it! It¡¯s not like I won¡¯t agree!¡± Ai Tingya said angrily. She almost lost her innocence because of such a small matter. When had she ever rejected Luo Feng¡¯s request? ¡°But you don¡¯t want shares.¡± Luo Feng snorted. ¡°I can¡¯t let you work for nothing, right? Wouldn¡¯t that be taking advantage of you? When have I ever let others suffer?¡± ¡°Then just give me a salary¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say so much. You¡¯ve already agreed.¡± Upon hearing this, Ai Tingya snorted angrily and did not look at Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng knew that she would not refuse once she agreed. ¡°Actually, it is not for nothing. In the future, you¡¯ll be the General Manager of the investment company. You have to work hard for me. I won¡¯t give you your salary.¡± Luo Feng smiled evilly. ¡°Of course, if we continue what happened just now, I can also take back my shares.¡± Ai Tingya was stunned. She suddenly understood what Luo Feng was talking about. ¡°Luo Feng!¡± Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She pounced into Luo Feng¡¯s arms and taught him a lesson. The commotion between the two of them was quite loud. Cui Kun, who was outside the door, heard the commotion inside and shrunk his head, thinking that the two of them were fighting. He did not understand. Was there a need to argue about the shares? At this moment, the commotion in the office stopped. The door opened with a creak. Luo Feng stood at the door with a messy hairstyle and smiled at Cui Kun and the sales consultant. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting. Come in.¡± Ai Tingya crossed her arms angrily. She could not bear to really hit Luo Feng, so she could only mess up his hair as a small punishment. After the two of them entered, Luo Feng introduced her to Cui Kun. ¡°Ahem, this Miss Ai Tingya will be the General Manager of our Ting Feng Investment Company from now on.¡± ¡°Hello, hello.¡± Cui Kun hurriedly asked. From the looks of it, Luo Feng had successfully given away the shares. Could it be that the two of them had fought? ¡°Hello, please guide me in the future.¡± Ai Tingya smiled and quickly entered the role of the General Manager Character. She looked very used to it already. Cui Kun could not help but be a little confused. Ai Tingya¡¯s attitude was so firm just now. How did Luo Feng convince her? Their relationship did not seem to be affected and was still very harmonious. He could not help but secretly ask the sales consultant beside him, ¡°What method did the boss use to make the lady boss listen to him?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The sales consultant glanced at Cui Kun, wondering why he was asking her this question. ¡°I¡¯m married. As for my standing in the family¡­ Haha, I want to know more.¡± Cui Kun smiled bitterly. He had gotten married overseas and his wife was an independent woman with a career. This had allowed his family standing to remain stable at the lower-middle level. To be honest, Cui Kun really wanted to learn how to improve his standing, seeing how easily Luo Feng had tamed Ai Tingya. However, he could not ask Luo Feng directly. He could only ask the sales consultant for guidance. The two of them had chatted in the corridor just now and were relatively familiar with each other. Moreover, the sales consultant was also a woman and could understand women¡¯s thoughts better. Under what circumstances could she give in to a man? The sales consultant understood. Cui Kun¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity. She would have seen it even if she was blind. The sales consultant turned her head and sized up Luo Feng. She carefully sized him up from head to toe. It was just an ordinary observation, but her eyes were subconsciously filled with admiration. She could not help but nod repeatedly, as if she was looking at a perfect piece of art. Then, she turned to look at Cui Kun, who was waiting for the answer. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± The sales consultant sighed, as if she had thousands of words to say. ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s wrong¡­¡± Cui Kun was confused. The sales consultant did not answer. Her gaze moved up and stopped at Cui Kun¡¯s sparse hairline. Even though ¡°extremely smart¡± was a good word to praise, it was a disaster to use it to describe his appearance. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± She sighed again. There was nothing to praise on the top part of his body. The sales consultant¡¯s gaze began to travel downward. Finally, it stopped at Cui Kun¡¯s protruding beer belly¡­ ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s skip this topic.¡± The sales consultant was considerate and did not say anything. However, it was no different from slapping Cui Kun in the face by skipping the topic. He understood. The eyes of the sales consultant might not speak, but they would definitely curse. Cui Kun was on the brink of tears. Was he that bad? ¡­ Luo Feng and the others were looking at an office building in Lujiazui1. There were quite a number of office buildings nearby. Due to the rapid economic development in the past two years, there were at least eight or nine companies in one office building. It was really not easy to find a satisfactory office building. Fortunately, this sales consultant had a lot of resources. She brought Luo Feng around four to five places. In the end, this place satisfied Luo Feng the most. The windows of the office building were facing the beach, and they could still see the river. Most importantly, this entire floor was empty and could accommodate many staff. If there were no seats, they might need to buy a building. Luo Feng did not hide his satisfaction with this floor. The sales consultant accurately grasped this information and smiled. ¡°Are you satisfied with this place?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°You have good taste. This is one of the most high-end office buildings in our Lujiazui!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the price like?¡± Chapter 237 - 237 The Boss Is A Student, Who Is Going To Report Back To School! 237 The Boss Is A Student, Who Is Going To Report Back To School! ¡°What¡¯s the price like?¡± The sales consultant smiled and said, ¡°The price might be a little expensive. It¡¯s 20 yuan per square meter per day. But I can help you apply for a discount if you really plan to rent it.¡± Cui Kun was extremely surprised. The office here was really expensive. The rent was calculated according to square meters. The office building they were on was estimated to be more than 300 square meters. In total, it cost 6,000 yuan a day! That would be 180,000 yuan a month! It was terrifyingly expensive! He finally understood that such a good office space was still available. The sales consultant also realized that the price was too expensive, so he took the initiative to help Luo Feng apply for a discount, hoping that he could successfully rent it out. ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Feng did not care about the price. ¡°Are they selling this office building?¡± ¡°Sell?!¡± The sales lady prepared a long list of sales rhetoric. Luo Feng¡¯s answer caught her off guard. ¡°Yes, is it for sale?¡± Luo Feng nodded firmly. Previously, he did not buy an office building because he did not have enough money. After obtaining the investment, Luo Feng had almost 500 million yuan in his hands. It might not be possible to buy a building in Shanghai, but he could buy one or two floors. Moreover, buying an office building was considered a business investment. He could obtain a cash return. ¡°This¡­ The price of this office building is a little high.¡± The sales consultant could not bear to say it. To be honest, it was not like she had never met a big boss who bought a building directly. But who were those people? They were either the CEOs of old companies or the top 500 in the world. The young man in front of her still looked like a student. Before coming, she had asked around and heard that Luo Feng ¡®s company was a newly established company. The General Manager was only finalized a few minutes ago from the conversation between the three of them just now. In her heart, he was not someone who could afford to buy a building. He might want to buy an office to show off. The location was really good after all. The house would only increase in value and not depreciate. Seeing that the sales consultant did not speak, Luo Feng said, ¡°Tell me the price.¡± ¡°200,000 yuan¡­ per square meter!¡± ¡°How many square meters on one floor?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The sales consultant could not help but gasp. It seemed that this boss did not just want to buy one unit, but an entire floor! ¡°One floor is¡­ 2¡­ 2,000 square meters.¡± The sales consultant could not bear to say it. This number was too scary. She was afraid that she would scare the student in front of her away. Cui Kun stood at the side and did not say a word. When he heard the sales consultant¡¯s words, he silently calculated in his heart. One level was 2,000 square meters, and one square meter was 200,000 yuan¡­ Then the total price was¡­ 400 million yuan! Luo Feng nodded and said, ¡°Then give me one floor.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Cui Kun felt that Luo Feng¡¯s tone was as simple as buying a cake. There was no difficulty or pride, as if it was an extremely normal thing. Actually, Luo Feng was still a little depressed. He calculated the money in his hand on the way here. He had about 500 million in cash in his hand. He should be considered rich in the entire country. However, even so, he could only buy one floor. Thinking about it carefully, those giants were all built. He was indeed still far from them! Thinking of this, Luo Feng looked out of the window and thought of their latest opponent, Are You Hungry. He only had one goal in his heart¡ª cashbacks! He hoped that Are You Hungry could last a little longer. He had to at least end the subsidy war. Otherwise, Zishan would have wasted her 20 million yuan investment. Even though there would be another group in the future, the only opponent which could help Luo Feng obtain cashback now was Are You Hungry. Thinking back to how difficult it was for Luo Feng to find an excuse to spend money before Are You Hungry came out, Luo Feng still found many excuses to convince Ai Tingya. Moreover, Senior Yan Kaize was too lame! He was defeated in no time. Good Me was the monopoly now. Ai Tingya immediately changed her tactics and leaned towards defense once the opponent was gone. She did not want to expand at all. Luo Feng thought of the two people he had invested in¡ªAi Tingya and Xie Yan. He really hoped that they could turn a blind eye when spending money. All he could do now was pray for Are You Hungry and hope that this opponent could last a little longer! ¡°Alright¡­ Alright, if you¡¯re determined to buy one floor, then¡­ Then let¡¯s go back and sign the contract?¡± The sales consultant asked tentatively. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Luo Feng seemed even more anxious than her. The three of them returned to the office building where the sales agent was. The sales consultant went to get the contract, and Luo Feng and the other two sat down and waited. Cui Kun had yet to recover from the shock just now. He only knew that he seemed to have entered a powerful company. The boss did not hesitate at all to fork out 400 million yuan. ¡°By the way, there¡¯s something I need to tell you,¡± Luo Feng suddenly said. Cui Kun immediately came back to his senses, as if he was at his disposal. Luo Feng said, ¡°We¡¯re leaving Shanghai after signing the contract. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of the office building. You should have your own entrepreneurial team, right? Bring them over if they¡¯re willing to join you. If you need any kind of employees, hire them yourself. Call me if you don¡¯t have enough money.¡± He gave a lot of instructions, including many jobs outside of Cui Kun¡¯s duty. These were similar to the jobs Cui Kun had done when he started his own business. The fact that his boss could appoint him meant that he trusted him. This could be said to be a great honor for a new employee. Cui Kun memorized these tasks one by one and suddenly felt a little curious. His boss had handed over almost all the company¡¯s work in Shanghai to him. Then what would his boss be doing? Moreover, the General Manager did not seem to be staying in Shanghai. Cui Kun glanced at Ai Tingya and then at Luo Feng. Could it be that these two were going on a business trip? Were they going to broaden other markets? They were so fast! Thinking of this, Cui Kun was a little excited. He felt that the company he joined was really amazing. His boss¡¯s mobility was too strong. He could not help but say excitedly, ¡°Boss, which city are we going to target next?¡± ¡°City? No.¡± Luo Feng smiled in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m going back to school.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°The winter break is over. We have to return to school to report,¡± Luo Feng explained. ¡°¡­Oh¡­¡± Cui Kun was in a mess. Was the boss really, actually a student?! Luo Feng scratched his head. ¡°Therefore, we¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of us. We¡¯ll come over and take a look when we¡¯re free. You can call me if there are any problems. In the future, we¡¯ll be comrades who fight together.¡± ¡°O-Okay!¡± Cui Kun looked at Luo Feng¡¯s smile and finally saw some traces of a university student in him. That attitude that could treat anyone warmly was indeed that of a student. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll do my best!¡± Cui Kun had mixed feelings and knew that it was time for him to hold up half the sky! Chapter 238 - 238 The Fight For The Local Specialties, New Food! 238 The Fight For The Local Specialties, New Food! When school started, in the boys¡¯ dormitory at Oxford University. Yang Bo was a local and was the first to arrive at the dormitory. No one had used the dormitory for a month. The first thing he did when he returned was to open the windows to ventilate the room. The early spring wind was still a little cold. Yang Bo unpacked his things and sat for a while. He felt that he had nothing to do, so he wanted to tidy up the seats of the other three. At this moment, Hao Yingqiang and Ali walked in with bags of things. Yang Bo threw down the broom in his hand and helped the two of them with their stuff. ¡°You¡¯re finally here!¡± Yang Bo was really excited when he saw the two of them. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ali smiled. ¡°A day apart feels like three years. Do you miss us so much?¡± When Yang Bo saw the two of them, it was as if he had seen his family. He was extremely enthusiastic. He helped move things and was busy wiping the table with a smile on his face. ¡°That¡¯s right! You don¡¯t know how uncomfortable I¡¯ve been at home!¡± Yang Bo smiled bitterly. ¡°My mother cherished me for three days. Then, she was unhappy with everything about me and looked forward to my school reopening every day.¡± Yang Bo was a local. When he had nothing to do, he would take a taxi back. During the end of the semester, he revised in school for an entire month. Yang Bo¡¯s mother had not seen the child for a month, so her heart naturally ached. However, it was a pity that the gentleness of a mother and the filial piety of a son did not last long. Soon, the house was in a tizzy. Yang Bo had nothing to do at home, so he looked forward to school reopening. ¡°It¡¯s good that you guys can go home once every few months. Your Mom and Dad should be overjoyed, right?¡± Yang Bo looked at Hao Yingqiang and Ali enviously. Hao Yingqiang laughed. ¡°Forget it. My mother almost asked me to apply for cram school when she saw my results. I¡¯m a university student, but she still wants me to go to cram school!¡± His results last semester could be said to have just scraped through, and he was almost on the verge of taking the make-up test. Hao Yingqiang arrived home before everyone else. When he opened the door, he did not receive his parents¡¯ concern. Instead, he was grabbed and held a serious family meeting. He almost had an uneasy New Year. The two of them looked at each other and sighed. ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s life is still the best. Not only is he the number one in the entire Faculty, his Dad and Mom are also going on a trip.¡± Yang Bo gritted his teeth in envy. ¡°He¡¯s staying at his girlfriend¡¯s house and even celebrating the New Year with her!¡± Hao Yingqiang nodded enviously. Ali looked at the empty bed and said, ¡°Speaking of which, why isn¡¯t Luo Feng here yet?¡± ¡°He said that he¡¯s busy in Shanghai,¡± Hao Yingqiang said. When he gave Luo Feng a New Year greeting, he chatted with him a little more and knew that Luo Feng had gone to Shanghai. The three of them knew that Luo Feng had businesses, so it was reasonable for him to be busy during the New Year. The three of them did not pay much attention to it. They swept the floor and unpacked their things. Hao Yingqiang suddenly took out a plastic oil bucket from his suitcase! There was a plastic bag on the outside, and a trace of sour and smelly smell floated out. ¡°What did you bring¡­¡± Yang Bo covered his nose and took two steps back in disdain. ¡°What¡¯s spoiled? It smells so strong!¡± ¡°This is my mother¡¯s exclusive pickle. It¡¯s salty and light and just right. It¡¯s delicious! Try it!¡± Hao Yingqiang opened the lid and took out a pink radish. He took a bite of it. ¡°It¡¯s very delicious!¡± Hao Yingqiang strongly recommended it! ¡°Alright, alright! Take it further¡­¡± Yang Bo really couldn¡¯t stand the smell. ¡°But this smell¡­ You¡¯d better cover it quickly, or the dormitory warden will come up and arrest you.¡± The taste of the pickle was indeed very crispy, but the taste of the pickle was too strong. He refused to take a bite. Ali took one and tasted it. He praised, ¡°It tastes really good. You won¡¯t feel that it¡¯s salty even if you eat it directly. It¡¯s delicious!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it!¡± Hao Yingqiang said happily. Ali turned around and took out a Vacuum bag from his luggage. He smiled and said, ¡°Actually, I brought you local specialties too. Come and try them.¡± ¡°Is it meat?¡± Yang Bo¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°That¡¯s right. My mother made it too.¡± ¡°Meat is good.¡± Yang Bo was filled with joy and rubbed his hands as he waited. When Ali unwrapped it, Yang Bo was stunned. He held the vacuum bag and said, ¡°What¡¯s this? Leftover fish heads?¡± The bag contained a few shriveled fish heads that were about the length of a thumb. They looked like kitchen waste left behind by a kitten. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I took the wrong one.¡± Ali took out another Vacuum bag from his bag. After opening it and pouring it in, he inserted a few fish heads in one after another. ¡°The Stargazy pie! Try it!¡± Ali brought it to the two of them. Yang Bo could not stand the impactful smell of food. The moment he smelled the fishy smell, he almost did a somersault! He covered his nose and retreated to a corner of the dormitory. ¡°Oh my god, your local specialties are quite legendary! Have you eaten them?¡± ¡°This is my mother¡¯s first time making it.¡± Ali chuckled. ¡°I¡¯ve been wanting to bring you something before I came. Later, I felt that the most famous thing is the Stargazy pie. This is a leap in my mother¡¯s culinary skills! Try it!¡± In other words, this was the first time Ali¡¯s mother had made this Stargazy pie. Yang Bo felt that it might be the last time. He was very touched but rejected it. ¡°No need, no need. Help me thank Auntie. I don¡¯t like fish.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not good for your health to be picky,¡± Hao Yingqiang said. He took a piece of pie from the plate and ate it. He nodded and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t taste bad. The fish is dry and fragrant!¡± The two of them ate one piece at a time and could not stop eating. Perhaps it was because the food was more novel and the taste was richer. It looked darker on the outside, but the taste was actually really not bad. ¡°Yang Bo, are you really not eating? If you don¡¯t eat, you won¡¯t have a share.¡± Ali licked his fingers. Yang Bo craned his neck to take a look and realized that there was still half of it on the plate. ¡°Isn¡¯t there still a lot? Can the two of you finish it?¡± ¡°I have to leave a few for Luo Feng,¡± Ali said. ¡°Hehe, Yang Bo, I¡¯ll help you eat your share.¡± Hao Yingqiang smiled. Even if Yang Bo did not want to eat it, he wanted to try a piece today when he saw Hao Yingqiang coveting his portion! ¡°I¡¯ll try it!¡± Yang Bo took a piece, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth. A moment later, his eyes were filled with happiness. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Yang Bo would have eaten them all if not for Ali reminding him to leave two pieces for Luo Feng. He was not satisfied and even ate two pieces of pickled vegetables made by Hao Yingqiang¡¯s family. They were all delicious food that smelled bad and tasted good. After eating, Yang Bo became worried again. Hao Yingqiang and Ali had brought the local specialties of their hometown, so he did not bring anything. Moreover, he was a local. No matter what there was to eat locally, his roommates would just take a taxi and eat. He did not have to bring them to the dormitory. However, Yang Bo felt very embarrassed to eat someone else¡¯s food for free. At this moment, the door of the dormitory opened. Luo Feng was holding a small suitcase in his hand, followed by Ai Tingya. He did not seem to have brought any specialties. ¡°Hey! You¡¯re back early!¡± Luo Feng greeted them. Chapter 239 - 239 Luo Feng, Save Me! 239 Luo Feng, Save Me! ¡°Luo Feng, you¡¯re here!¡± Yang Bo¡¯s eyes lit up. He did not bring any specialties, nor did Luo Feng. After Luo Feng ate Ali and Hao Yingqiang¡¯s food, he would definitely want to return the favor. Wouldn¡¯t there be someone that he could rely on?! Yang Bo was secretly delighted. ¡°Luo Feng, Hao Yingqiang and the others brought some food from home. Do you want to try it too?¡± Yang Bo asked eagerly. Luo Feng took a piece of Stargazy pie and asked Ai Tingya, ¡°Tingya, do you want to eat it?¡± Even though Ai Tingya liked to eat fish, the fish heads on the Stargazy pie were too tragic. Ai Tingya shook her head and said, ¡°Thank you, I¡¯m not hungry yet.¡± Seeing this, Luo Feng took a bite of the Stargazy pie and felt that it tasted better than he had imagined. At this moment, Yang Bo said with a smile, ¡°By the way, Luo Feng, did you bring any delicious food from your place?¡± Luo Feng was stunned for a moment. He had gone to Shanghai and left in a panic. How could he have time to prepare local specialties? Even though in his previous life, when he was studying in university, he had also given his dormitory friend food when school started. He had this desire to share when he just started school after all. He hoped that his dormitory brothers could also try the specialties of his hometown. However, this was the second time he had attended university. The focus of his work had also deviated. He had been negligent and did not remember to bring specialties. Seeing that he was silent, Yang Bo smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine! I didn¡¯t bring it either!¡± This was like a teacher asking him to stand as a punishment in class. If he stood up alone, it would be embarrassing and awkward. However, if he had his deskmate to accompany him, he would feel like a brother who would advance and retreat together. He could ignore any embarrassment. ¡°Who said I didn¡¯t bring anything?¡± Luo Feng had an idea. ¡°What did you bring?¡± Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya behind him and said, ¡°She¡¯s an authentic Crown City beauty.¡± ¡°¡­You¡¯re ruthless!¡± Yang Bo looked at the dumbfounded Ai Tingya and laughed in anger. Luo Feng was indeed quick-witted! He was still the dog. So what if he had a girlfriend! He could even pull her out to show off at such an occasion! He glanced at Ai Tingya and felt that she was indeed a little amazing. Luo Feng made a small joke to ease the atmosphere before continuing, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ve been busy recently. How about this? Let¡¯s go out and have a gathering. Tell me what you want to eat. I¡¯ll treat you!¡± Yang Bo¡¯s eyes lit up, wondering why he hadn¡¯t thought of this! He hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll chip in too!¡± In the dormitory, Yang Bo¡¯s family was doing the best other than Luo Feng who was earning money himself. Ali and Hao Yingqiang called him a good person. The few of them tidied up briefly and prepared to go out to find a restaurant. Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door and blocked everyone¡¯s path. Right on the heels of that person wailed, ¡°Help! Luo Feng, help!¡± Everyone took a closer look. Xie Yan was leaning on the door frame like a koala bear. It was cold in spring and he was sweating profusely from running. He was about to cry. His dormitory building was at the top and he had yet to catch his breath after running all the way. ¡°Xie Yan? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng pulled him into the house. ¡°Tell me slowly.¡± Clang! Xie Yan pressed his hand against the door and said with a terrified expression, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ve to run! I¡­ I almost died!¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were at a loss. They had never seen such a Xie Yan before. It was as if some ferocious beast was chasing after them. Everyone was shocked and afraid. ¡°My dad¡­ My dad is going to beat me to death!¡± ¡°Huh? Why did he kill you?¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had seen Xie Yan¡¯s father before. Even though he was very strict and a little stubborn, they could feel that his decision was out of concern for Xie Yan. He was a little fierce, but he would not really do anything to Xie Yan. He should restrain himself a little¡­ When beating his son¡­ Right¡­? Luo Feng suddenly lost his confidence in his deduction. ¡°Really!¡± Xie Yan said in fear. As if to prove his words, a furious roar suddenly exploded in the corridor. ¡°Little brat! Get out here! I¡¯ll count to three. Thank you!¡± Students from the other dormitories also came. They stuck their heads out curiously and saw Father Xie standing at the top of the stairs with a stool in his hand. He was glaring at everyone angrily, scaring the students so much that they hurriedly retracted their heads and did not dare to make a sound. It was inconvenient for Luo Feng to appear. Hao Yingqiang stuck his head out to take a look. In any case, Father Xie had never seen him before. ¡°F*ck! Your father¡¯s hair is about to stand up!¡± Hao Yingqiang took a look and patted his chest in fear. ¡°He¡¯s chasing you with a stool!¡± ¡°What did you do to make your father so angry?¡± Luo Feng believed that he was going to be beaten to death. ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t do anything. I just told the counselor¡­ That I want to drop out¡­¡± Xie Yan hugged his head in frustration. ¡°Then the counselor called my father!¡± Everyone in the dormitory looked at Xie Yan, who was crying bitterly, and did not pity him at all. Luo Feng could understand Father Xie very well. If it were him, beating Xie Yan to death would be a light punishment. Was it easy to get into a university? Who did he want to anger to death by dropping out? ¡°You didn¡¯t tell him in advance, right?¡± ¡°Of course. He won¡¯t agree even if I tell him!¡± Xie Yan said confidently. Luo Feng held his forehead. ¡°So you¡¯re prepared to act first and report later?¡± ¡°More or less¡­ I didn¡¯t expect the counselor to call him!¡± Xie Yan was filled with righteous indignation, hating himself for not informing the counselor in advance. By the time he remembered, the counselor had already finished his call. His father threw down the phone and rushed to the dormitory. He raised his stool and was about to put righteousness before family. Xie Yan was helpless and could only run to Luo Feng to take refuge. Luo Feng did not understand. ¡°Why do you want to drop out?¡± Some students who had higher expectations of themselves might go back and take the college entrance examination again after half a year of school if they did not get into the university they liked. However, Oxford was already a top university! Even though Xie Yan was not satisfied with his major, he would not have to drop out. Xie Yan took two deep breaths and said, ¡°You know that I don¡¯t like the current major. I want to learn computing. What I¡¯m studying now is at my father¡¯s request¡­¡± ¡°But you don¡¯t have to drop out.¡± ¡°Interest is one thing¡­ Actually, the main reason is that our company is filled with part-timers now. I don¡¯t have the energy to attend classes and manage the company at the same time. I¡¯m really tired at the critical moment of the company at any time¡­¡± Xie Yan stole a look at Luo Feng¡¯s expression as he spoke. Luo Feng did not know what to say. Actually, he realized this problem at the end of last semester. The mainstays of the company were all freshmen and second-year students. Even if their potential was as high as Ai Tingya, they would not be able to split themselves up at the end of the semester, let alone the others. There was a limit to their energy though everyone was very talented and had unlimited potential in the future. They had to attend school and work at the same time. They would be exhausted no matter who it was. They might be able to have periods of free time if they were working for other companies, but Gather Sift Takeaway was different! Chapter 240 - 240 Exemption, Ill Go To Shanghai! 240 Exemption, I¡¯ll Go To Shanghai! Gather Sift Takeaway was developing rapidly. There were mountains of things to do in the company. Everyone wished they did not need to eat nor sleep and fight at their posts. They hated that there were only 24 hours a day. How could they have the energy to split up to study? However, their school was so studious that they had to snatch seats in the library. Luo Feng had considered this and thickened his skin to ask for Zishan¡¯s connections and continue to hire Cui Kun and his team. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be so anxious. I¡¯ve already begun to look for someone in Shanghai,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°The people from Shanghai are all newbies. Can you be at ease?¡± Xie Yan asked. Father Xie was still looking for his son fiercely in the corridor, but Xie Yan said firmly, ¡°Luo Feng, let me drop out of school. If I drop out, I¡¯ll go to Shanghai.It¡¯s very easy for something to happen if there is no one from the old team bringing the new team along.¡± Luo Feng fell silent. He could not deny that Xie Yan was right. No matter who it was, they had never worked at Gather Sift Takeaway. They lacked experience in this aspect. If they were to establish a company headquarters, it would be similar to a paper house. Not to mention that there were many problems, they might not even be qualified for the basic framework. Xie Yan was different. Gather Sift Takeaway could be said to be half his and half Luo Feng¡¯s. It could even be said that what Xie Yan supported was the framework. He was more familiar with the company¡¯s internal situation than Luo Feng. He would be able to take fewer detours if he went to Shanghai to take charge of the overall situation. Luo Feng whispered, ¡°Actually, I should be the one going.¡± Luo Feng was the one who made the decision to move the headquarters to Shanghai after all. He was the one who chose the office to recruit talents like Cui Kun. He needed someone to go to Shanghai to watch over him. He had also been thinking about this recently. He did not expect Xie Yan to bring it up first. Xie Yan looked straight at Luo Feng and said, ¡°Luo Feng, let me go. Gather Sift Takeaway is my dream. It¡¯s mostly your credit that I can get to where I am today. I also want to do something for the company. Come to think of it, isn¡¯t it just to help you take care of this obstacle when you don¡¯t have time?¡± In his heart, most of the company¡¯s funds were provided by Luo Feng. It was equivalent to Luo Feng using money to support the company. Most of the strategic routes were also set by Luo Feng. What Xie Yan could do was to implement them firmly. Luo Feng looked into Xie Yan¡¯s eyes and knew that he did not request to drop out on a whim. Xie Yan really planned to sacrifice his educational background and do well with his high school diploma in exchange for the stable development of the company. Everyone could say that the company¡¯s future would definitely be bright, but Xie Yan¡¯s ten-odd years of studying would definitely be wasted. He was really prepared to go all out and dedicate everything to the company! Knock, knock- There was a knock on the dormitory door. Xie Yan was caught off guard and opened the door obediently. He saw Father Xie standing at the door. ¡°Dad¡­ Dad!¡± Xie Yan was so frightened that his soul left his body and he hid behind Luo Feng. Everyone saw that Father Xie was still holding the stool in his hand and they all blocked in front of him, preparing to persuade him. Father Xie was so angry when he saw Xie Yan that he almost exploded. If not for Yang Bo and the others blocking in the middle, the stool might have already hit Xie Yan. ¡°Uncle, the fault of this matter is mine.¡± Luo Feng stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯m the Chairman of Gather Sift Takeaway. If the company needs anything, I should be the first to stand up. If you want to blame someone, blame me.¡± Father Xie was stunned. Xie Yan was anxious and hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s none of Luo Feng¡¯s business. Dropping out of school was my own idea. I¡¯ve already applied to the counselor!¡± Father Xie looked at the two of them fighting for responsibility. Why did he feel like he was a big villain? Xie Yan looked like he was clearly very afraid, but he could bravely stand up and say his thoughts. Even though it was very infuriating, he had indeed grown a lot more than before. He was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Luo Feng, I¡¯m not an unreasonable person, but as a father, I am really¡­¡± Really afraid! Of course, Luo Feng understood that Father Xie was afraid that Xie Yan would be impulsive and choose the wrong path and have nothing to fall back on. Even if Gather Sift Takeaway succeeded in the future, Xie Yan would have to hold on to his high school diploma and waste more than ten years of hard work. ¡°I understand.¡± Luo Feng paused. ¡°Uncle, Xie Yan does not need to drop out. I¡¯ll go to Shanghai!¡± Xie Yan¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You want to drop out?¡± Ai Tingya also became nervous and looked at Luo Feng worriedly. ¡°What are you guys thinking?¡± Luo Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. ¡°My mother will chop me up if I drop out. I want to be exempted!¡± The corners of Yang Bo¡¯s mouth twitched unconsciously. ¡°Do you know how abnormal the exemption conditions in our school are?¡± It was really not that Yang Bo wanted to pour cold water on him regardless of the occasion, but the conditions for exemption at Oxford University were very harsh. The rule was that students who applied for exemption were only allowed to not go to class after passing the school test. Universities were free, and freedom needed to be replaced with ability. There were only two situations that could pass the application. One was that he had failed the course last semester and the student needed to retake it. However, there were corresponding courses to attend this semester. If the two sides conflicted, he could apply for retake and be exempt from the course. Half of the applications would pass. The other was that if a student self-learned and passed this course, they could also apply for exemption. However, the application had to be approved by the Faculty and the professor. Typically, very few people would apply for an exemption through this method. Luo Feng and the others had a senior from the Mathematics Department last year. He fell into the hands of Professor Vincent and still had the courage to apply for an exemption from advanced algebra. He taught himself during the summer vacation and handed in the application form confidently. A question from Professor Vincent came. The senior worked on the question until he cried bitterly. In the end, he took back the application form dejectedly. Even though Professor Vincent was not the one who taught Luo Feng¡¯s class mathematics this year, Professor Jing was also a serious person. Moreover, Luo Feng was Professor Vincent¡¯s focus during the last final exam. He definitely would not allow Luo Feng to apply for exemption so easily. Other than advanced mathematics, there were other courses. Luo Feng had to apply for at least two-thirds of the courses to be exempt from them before he could go to Shanghai. There were so many courses that even the Faculty did not dare to agree to, let alone the teacher. Yang Bo thought for a moment. ¡°If you really want to run a company, why don¡¯t you apply for a leave of absence? You can come back and continue your class after your company stabilizes.¡± Luo Feng wanted to do this too, but his parents would definitely not agree. Their reaction would definitely be even more agitated than Father Xie¡¯s. In their eyes, a student¡¯s duty was to stay in school and study hard after all. Everything else was considered fooling around. If they found out that Luo Feng had taken a leave of absence and delayed his graduation, Father and Mother Luo would immediately rush to the school even if they were traveling in Utopia. ¡°I can¡¯t delay my graduation.¡± Luo Feng smiled helplessly. Yang Bo thought about it and agreed. He might also obtain a dual beating if he asked his parents to take a leave of absence from school. This matter was really not so easy to deal with! Chapter 241 - 241 Application Form, Dont Be Too Ridiculous! 241 Application Form, Don¡¯t Be Too Ridiculous! ¡°Let¡¯s discuss this matter again. Xie Yan, don¡¯t be in a hurry to drop out of school. Uncle, put down the stool first¡­¡± Luo Feng said while sweating. The few of them gathered together to discuss solutions. Yang Bo and the others also participated and brainstormed, discussing all the solutions they could think of. Ai Tingya, who was standing at the side, was silent. She bit her lip and looked at Luo Feng, who was thinking of a solution. She was very unwilling! This was all because she was too weak! Her efforts were not enough to help Luo Feng! Luo Feng would not be in such a difficult position if she could be a little more capable! Ai Tingya lowered her eyes and swore in her heart. Everyone discussed on an empty stomach for the entire afternoon. Their lips were about to tear. In the end, they realized that only Luo Feng said that the exception was the most practical and safest. What they were facing now were many obstacles on the way to apply for success. ¡°I¡¯ll hand over the application form first no matter what. Go eat first. I¡¯ll be there later.¡± After saying that, Luo Feng ran out. There was no chaos for the time being, and Father Xie was not prepared to do anything to Xie Yan. However, he was frustrated and did not want to eat anything. Xie Yan could only send his father back first. The father and son bade farewell and left. The others did not have much of an appetite, so they casually bought something in the canteen. Luo Feng stayed for a long time. He only returned when the canteen was cleaning up. ¡°Have you submitted the application form?¡± Yang Bo asked with concern. ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng nodded and ate the cold rice on his plate. ¡­ In the Director¡¯s office of the School of Finance. President Qi held an application form and looked at the boy on the other side of the desk in surprise. He could not help but rub his glabella. ¡°Luo Feng, right? Are these the courses you want to apply to be exempted?¡± Dean Qi looked at the densely packed names of the course on the form and was so angry that he wanted to laugh. ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng was very serious. Dean Qi picked up a thick stack of information that looked like a book on the table. It was all information about the application for exemption prepared by Luo Feng. The Dean¡¯s temples hurt and he was on the verge of collapse. Why would a student want to be exempted from so many classes? There were five compulsory courses in the first semester of the Finance Faculty. Luo Feng applied for exemption for all of them. ¡°Nonsense!¡± President Qi slammed the documents on the table angrily. Luo Feng had long known this would happen and hurriedly explained, ¡°Dean, I have my difficulties¡­¡± He was also very helpless. After carefully understanding the school rules, Luo Feng realized that they were even stricter than high school in a certain aspect¡ªthe school stipulated that if students did not participate in studying activities for two weeks, it would be considered an automatic withdrawal. Once Luo Feng made a trip to Shanghai and might not return for ten days to half a month. Yang Bo had originally given him an idea and said that he would get his classmates to help answer and fool them for a few weeks. Not to mention how deep the impression Luo Feng¡¯s face left on the teacher-in-charge, it was fine for one or two classes, but there were even people who were willing to help. They would help to answer in every class. They could not find such an unjust student even if they spent money. ¡°Student Luo Feng, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re going a little too far? Why attend university if you don¡¯t even attend the classes!¡± Dean Qi looked at Luo Feng and tried his best not to speak too aggressively. This application was equivalent to dropping out of school. ¡°I promise I¡¯ll self-study in every subject!¡± Luo Feng said confidently. ¡°I won¡¯t cause trouble for the Teachers and the Dean!¡± ¡°You think you can self-study just because you said so? Do you think you can learn it better than what your teacher taught you just by reading? Do you think the finance course is a simple 1+1?¡± President Qi rattled on, trying to use words to persuade the students who had lost their way. ¡°I¡¯ll say it again. Studying is for your own good, not for your teacher or your parents!¡± ¡°Director, I guarantee!¡± ¡°Guarantee?¡± President Qi laughed in anger. ¡°What¡¯s the use of just guarantees? Let me ask you, how many marks did you score at the end of last semester?¡± ¡°Full marks¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng found his report card from the information he had prepared and placed it neatly in front of the Dean worried that he wouldn¡¯t believe him. He said solemnly, ¡°Dean, I scored full marks for every course last semester.¡± Dean Qi looked at the report card and was stunned. He was the dean of the entire Finance Faculty and managed four grades at the same time. It was impossible for him to know the results of every student by heart. When he saw Luo Feng¡¯s report card, he vaguely remembered that the teachers seemed to be discussing a student who had good results and was very talented. He even scored full marks in advanced mathematics set by Professor Vincent, making him want to poach him. He did not expect this student to be standing in front of him! Dean Qi originally wanted to use the results to make a fuss, but he changed his words. ¡°So what if you scored full marks? Didn¡¯t you have a teacher to teach you last semester?! Exemption is impossible. I won¡¯t approve of it!¡± Luo Feng did not speak and had no intention of leaving. Seeing his stubborn appearance, as if he had the intention to stay here if he disagreed, Dean Qi¡¯s head hurt even more. He softened his tone and said earnestly, ¡°Luo Feng, I¡¯ve heard many teachers mention you and say that you¡¯re very talented. They think very highly of you. Then what you should do the most is to study hard and develop your talent. Don¡¯t you think I¡¯m right?¡± He did not agree to Luo Feng¡¯s request for an exemption just now because he felt that it was too ridiculous, but he still cherished his talent. It was rare for even top universities like theirs to encounter students with the best talent. There might only be one in a few years or more than ten years. Dean Qi sincerely hoped that Luo Feng could cherish his talent and not bite off more than he could chew, ending up like everyone else. ¡­ At the same time, below the office building. Ai Tingya held Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s hand and was about to go upstairs. To be precise, she was dragging it out. Ai Zhaojiang was coaxed and tricked from his home to the school. He really didn¡¯t want to go upstairs and get involved in Luo Feng¡¯s matters standing under the school building. However, he could not tell Ai Tingya directly. He muttered, ¡°What does Luo Feng¡¯s matter have to do with me? Do you want me to put my old face on the line to help him intercede?¡± Ai Tingya begged, ¡°Grandpa, please help Luo Feng.¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s heart ached when he saw his granddaughter¡¯s aggrieved expression, but when he thought of Luo Feng, he was furious. Ai Zhaojiang was a little happy that Ai Tingya appeared at the door this morning. He had spent the New Year alone after all. As soon as school reopened, his granddaughter, whom he had been thinking about, took the initiative to visit him. Ai Zhaojiang was so happy that he could not find his way, at least before Ai Tingya explained her intentions. ¡°I don¡¯t want to help.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was filled with anger and didn¡¯t want to speak up for Luo Feng. ¡°If you don¡¯t help Luo Feng, I¡­ I won¡¯t visit you in the future!¡± Ai Tingya threatened guiltily. Clearly, she rarely said harsh words, like a kitten baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. This was the only way she could think of to help Luo Feng. Ai Tingya really could not think of anything else other than asking Ai Zhaojiang for help. ¡°You¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang went numb. Even a kitten¡¯s claws could make red marks when scratching. As expected, a married granddaughter was like water that had been splashed out. She was actually talking tough to her grandfather for Luo Feng! She had really been led astray by Luo Feng! Chapter 242 - 242 Professor Vincent, You Be The Judge! 242 Professor Vincent, You Be The Judge! ¡°You only know how to feel sorry for Luo Feng, but you don¡¯t know how to feel sorry for me.¡± Ai Zhaojiang was unhappy. ¡°I prepared a lot of your favorite dishes for the New Year. They¡¯re all frozen in the fridge.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s body stiffened, and her heart was filled with guilt. She lowered her head and said nothing. Initially, he hoped that Ai Tingya¡¯s heart would ache for him, her grandfather. However, Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s heart softened when he saw Ai Tingya lowering her head in silence. ¡°Alright, alright¡­ I promise you, okay?¡± Ai Zhaojiang said helplessly. ¡°Really?¡± Ai Tingya smiled through her tears and held Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s arm as they walked upstairs. When the grandfather and grandson walked to the door of the office, Luo Feng and Dean Qi were still in a deadlock. Dean Qi was determined not to sign it. Even if Luo Feng made a hole here, he would definitely not take a step back! Luo Feng stood there and did not speak. He stared straight at Dean Qi, waiting for him to relent. Knock, knock- Someone knocked on the door. ¡°Is Old Qi here?¡± Ai Zhaojiang pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Professor Ai?¡± President Qi stood up in surprise. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Ai Zhaojiang was indeed someone who had worked hard in school his entire life. Dean Qi looked very familiar with him and even respected him a little. Seeing Ai Zhaojiang arrive, Dean Qi immediately went forward to welcome her in. As soon as Ai Zhaojiang entered, he first looked at Luo Feng with mixed feelings, or rather, glared at him before he could exchange pleasantries. He seemed to be enduring humiliation, so he was blaming Luo Feng, and even wanting to hit him. Dean Qi said, ¡°Luo Feng, I have something on now. You can go back first.¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Ai Zhaojiang stopped him. ¡°I¡¯m here for this kid.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± President Qi looked at the two of them in surprise, not quite understanding their relationship. ¡°Didn¡¯t this kid want to apply for an exemption?¡± Ai Zhaojiang gritted his teeth. ¡°That¡¯s why I came to take a look.¡± Even though Dean Qi did not understand the relationship between the two of them, he knew that Ai Zhaojiang was here to lobby. He could not help but glance at Luo Feng, thinking that not only was this kid talented, but he also had some connections. He even called out to Ai Zhaojiang. Who had Ai Zhaojiang ever given face to in school in the past? When he got serious, he would scold the Deans of the Faculties like him. Even the Dean of the school would be taught a lesson. He actually came to intercede for Luo Feng? ¡°Professor Ai, what¡¯s your relationship with this student to make you come personally?¡± President Qi asked curiously. ¡°¡­ Not much relation¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang said unwillingly. ¡°Just tell me if you can agree to this kid on my account.¡± He was actually quite aggrieved. What could it have to do with Luo Feng? He could not say that this person was his grandson-in-law! Even though the two of them were already engaged, Ai Zhaojiang was still stubborn and unwilling to admit it verbally. Who asked his little darling to be so obsessed with Luo Feng? President Qi smiled and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already appeared, what else can I say?¡± Ai Zhaojiang smiled and glanced at Luo Feng proudly. Didn¡¯t it still require me to come personally? ¡°Definitely not!¡± President Qi said firmly. ¡°Huh?¡± Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s smile froze on her face. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I said no!¡± Dean Qi said, ¡°Professor Ai, we¡¯ve known each other for many years. Don¡¯t make things difficult for me¡­ Moreover, Luo Feng is a student of our Finance Faculty. If there¡¯s a problem with his studies or something happens to him outside the school, can you take responsibility?¡± ¡°¡­ I can!¡± No matter how much he did not want to admit it, Luo Feng was still his grandson-in-law. Ai Zhaojiang could be considered half his grandfather. ¡°What can you do? Are you a professor in the Finance Department?¡± President Qi straightened his neck. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m not from the Finance Department¡­ Can¡¯t I be responsible for my own grandson-in-law?¡± Ai Zhaojiang roared. As soon as he finished speaking, Ai Zhaojiang regretted it so much that he wished he could slap himself twice. Why was his mouth so loose?! Could he not be so loose?! He hated and regretted it. Not only was he here to do Luo Feng a favor, but he also had to admit this relationship that he did not want to admit. ¡°What did you say¡­¡± President Qi looked at Luo Feng in a daze and then at Ai Zhaojiang. Then, he realized that Ai Tingya was hiding at the door and peeping. He finally understood. No wonder Ai Zhaojiang had personally come to intercede. So there was such a relationship! ¡°All the more reason I can¡¯t allow it to happen.¡± President Qi was stubborn. If it were anyone else, he would have to give Ai Zhaojiang some face. However, not Luo Feng! He pulled Ai Zhaojiang to the side and whispered, ¡°Professor Ai, don¡¯t cause trouble for me! Let me tell you, this Luo Feng is the treasure of many first-year professors. They all say that he will definitely have great achievements in the future! If I let him go after you caused trouble at my place today. Tomorrow, the Finance Faculty professors will form a team to cause trouble at my place.¡± Dean Qi analyzed Ai Zhaojiang seriously, hoping that he would understand his difficulties. ¡°Is this kid really so talented?¡± Ai Zhaojiang didn¡¯t expect this to be the reason why Dean Qi didn¡¯t agree. ¡°Why would I lie to you!¡± President Qi patted Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I say, your taste¡­ Your granddaughter has good taste!¡± Ai Zhaojiang had mixed feelings. He tried his best to distance himself from Luo Feng. When he heard the Dean of the Faculty praise Luo Feng, he actually felt a strange pride¡­ He would not admit it, he didn¡¯t want to admit it¡­ On the other side, Luo Feng heard their whispers clearly. His physical fitness had been strengthened, and his hearing was much better than ordinary people. He could clearly hear the reason why President Qi did not let him go. It was actually because he was too outstanding! Could this be considered an obstacle on the way? Was it wrong to be too outstanding? Even Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s face was useless! ¡°Yo! Why is it so lively? What are you doing?¡± Another familiar voice sounded outside the open office door. The three of them looked up and saw Professor Vincent striding in with his hands behind his back. He was originally here to talk to the Principal of the Mathematics Faculty about something. He happened to hear that Dean Qi¡¯s place was very lively and could not help but walk over to take a look. He did not expect to see Luo Feng, who looked like he was being punished, at a glance. He had to join in the fun. ¡°Professor Vincent?¡± Dean Qi stood up straight. ¡°Why are you here too?¡± His office was quite lively today. The person who came was a big shot in the Mathematics Department. For the first time, he came to the Finance Faculty to teach. Finance could be considered a digital game to a certain extent after all. Dean Qi was also quite polite to Professor Vincent. Professor Vincent nodded and walked straight to Luo Feng. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°You know Luo Feng too?¡± Dean Qi was speechless. Why did Luo Feng know so many people? Is it because he was Professor Ai¡¯s grandson-in-law? ¡°I was his advanced mathematics teacher last semester,¡± Professor Vincent said. ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± President Qi slapped his forehead and remembered this matter. He had only taught him for a semester so he couldn¡¯t be here to intercede for him, right? Dean Qi finally found someone from the same camp and pulled Professor Vincent against Luo Feng. Chapter 243 - 243 Can You Achieve The Conditions For The Exemptions? 243 Can You Achieve The Conditions For The Exemptions? ¡°Professor Vincent, you came at the right time! You¡¯re the judge!¡± Dean Qi grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s application form and said, ¡°Luo Feng said that he wants to apply for an exemption for advanced mathematics!¡± ¡°Exemption?¡± Professor Vincent raised his eyebrows. Even though Professor Jing had taught Luo Feng and the others advanced mathematics this semester, Professor Vincent had already decided to pay attention to Luo Feng after the final examination. He was a person who cherished talent. Coincidentally, Luo Feng gave him a good impression. ¡°That¡¯s right! Not only advanced mathematics, but he also wants to be exempt from all compulsory classes! Tell me, isn¡¯t this ridiculous!¡± Dean Qi said eloquently. He had a headache because of Luo Feng and Ai Zhaojiang just now. Finally, someone could help him say a few words. In addition, Professor Vincent had a strange temper and would say a few words about things that he couldn¡¯t stand. He was the easiest teammate to rope in! He would definitely not agree to Luo Feng¡¯s request! ¡°Why don¡¯t you agree?¡± Professor Vincent calmly put down the application form. ¡°Isn¡¯t that good?¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I said I think it¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°No¡­ Professor Vincent¡­¡± Things shouldn¡¯t have developed like this! Professor Vincent waved his hand and said to Luo Feng, ¡°I can make the decision for your exemption in advanced mathematics.¡± Seeing this, Ai Zhaojiang immediately said, ¡°I can help you talk to the other teachers!¡± He had specially made this trip for Ai Tingya. He could not let Vincent snatch all the credit. The old professors of both schools stood on Luo Feng¡¯s side and looked at Dean Qi at the same time. ¡°Dean Qi, what do you think?¡± Dean Qi¡¯s throat seemed to be blocked by something. He did not expect the teammates he had pulled in to choose to stand on Luo Feng¡¯s side. The two professors had covered all the responsibilities. What else could he say? ¡°¡­Alright!¡± Dean Qi gritted his teeth and agreed. ¡°But you have to agree to two conditions of mine!¡± He said right on the heels of that without waiting for Luo Feng to be happy. ¡°Dean, please tell me.¡± ¡°First! You have to pass the exams of these five compulsory subjects in a month! Moreover, each subject has to be above 95 points! Otherwise, I will reject your application!¡± Dean Qi said. At the side, Ai Zhaojiang wanted to say something but hesitated. Other students had a hard time learning five subjects in half a year, but Luo Feng had to learn them in a month. Wasn¡¯t this making things difficult for him?! ¡°Secondly! I¡¯ll give you a semester. You have to write a thesis at the SCI level and publish it. Otherwise, come back to class!¡± Dean Qi sneered. The corners of Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s mouth twitched. This Dean actually asked a freshman to write an SCI-level thesis. It was better to just say that there were different approval applications. He asked Professor Vincent beside him, ¡°Isn¡¯t this a little too difficult?¡± ¡°What does it matter?¡± Professor Vincent was watching the commotion. ¡°I also want to see if Luo Feng can complete it.¡± The reason why many top students in the Mathematics Department did not dare to attend Professor Vincent¡¯s class was because he liked to use hardship as training. As long as it was something that could help his students grow, he was willing to let his students try it and have fun watching the commotion. It could be said to be the best of both worlds. Chapter 244 - Chapter 244 10 Lines at a Glance, New Pick Up Skill? Chapter 244 10 Lines at a Glance, New Pick Up Skill? If not for the fact that Luo Feng had been reborn and had eaten the Cheat pill as a reward, he would definitely not have dared to agree to Dean Qi¡¯s conditions. He touched the reference book in front of him that completely blocked his vision. Even though there were only five subjects, the teaching books, reference books, and practice questions combined were almost taller than him. Luo Feng also knew that Dean Qi would definitely not go easy on him in the test. He could only do one thing now: study and farm questions! Luo Feng stood up and took down the top book. He held the pen in his right hand and pressed down on the draft book with his left hand, burying his head in it. Opposite him sat a boy in a checkered shirt. The boy in the checkered shirt was originally sitting in a corner reading his book when he suddenly attracted his attention with a bang. He was so frightened that he almost dropped the pen in his hand. He happened to see Luo Feng moving books like bricks and panted from exhaustion. Many other students were also attracted by the commotion and turned to look over. The boy in the checkered shirt pursed his lips and felt that Luo Feng was putting on an act. He only had one pair of eyes after all. How could he read so many books? Was there a need to move so many books over and not finish them in a day? This thought made the boy in the checkered shirt want to observe Luo Feng while reading. He realized that after Luo Feng opened a book, he flipped through it page by page. The sound of pages flipping was as dense as leaves blowing in the wind. At this speed, he could not even see the first line of words clearly. How could he look like he was studying hard? It was too fake! The boy in the checkered shirt glanced at Luo Feng disdainfully and picked up his book indignantly. Luo Feng could not hear the thoughts at the neighboring table. He was reading very seriously and could not divert his attention to other things. The pills he had eaten gave him the ability to read quickly. His enhanced learning ability allowed him to quickly memorize the content of the books. It could be said that he could read 10 lines at a glance, more than four to five times faster than ordinary people. However, it was useless no matter how strong his learning ability was if he was distracted. Therefore, Luo Feng studied very diligently. By the time he put down the book and stretched, two hours had passed since he picked up the first book. Luo Feng rubbed his stiff shoulders and smacked his lips, feeling a little thirsty. At this moment, a small white hand pushed a glass of lemon water over. Luo Feng turned around and did not notice when Ai Tingya sat beside him. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Luo Feng asked in a low voice. He observed his surroundings as he asked, worried that his voice would affect the others. ¡°I came to study¡­ and to see you,¡± Ai Tingya said with a smile. Actually, she had been sitting here for more than an hour. The lemon water she brought had changed from a hot drink to a cold drink. Fortunately, the air conditioner in the library was warmer. Otherwise, Ai Tingya might have bought another cup of hot water. ¡°Forget it. You don¡¯t have time to come to the library to read. Why didn¡¯t you call me when you came?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy?¡± Ai Tingya pushed the lemon water again. ¡°This cup is cold. Do you want a hot drink?¡± She knew that there were mountains of matters waiting for Luo Feng to resolve. Actually, she was also very busy. Milk Tea¡¯s headquarters would also move to Shanghai, and many jobs needed to be prepared in advance after all. Ai Tingya also took the time to come to the library. She was just worried that Luo Feng would not prepare anything. When she came, she saw that he did not even bring a cup. Luo Feng picked up the cup and took a sip. The sweet and sour lemon water was very quenching, as if it had washed away his fatigue. The moment he drank it, he knew that it was the lemon water in the shop, which meant that Ai Tingya had come directly from the milk tea shop. Seeing how engrossed he was in drinking, Ai Tingya lowered her head in satisfaction and read. After sitting quietly for a while, she could not help but raise her head again. She supported her chin with one hand and looked at Luo Feng¡¯s side profile with a smile. Luo Feng did not notice Ai Tingya¡¯s gaze. He drank the sweet lemon water while focusing his attention on the book. He did not notice that the boy in the checkered shirt next to him was staring at him indignantly. Even though Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were silent and were seriously doing their own things, they were too eye-catching. Sitting side by side with a book in his hand, they looked exactly like the male and female leads of a youth idol drama. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that the male and female leads of some production team had sneaked into the library to secretly film. It was difficult for the boy in the checkered shirt not to notice. Coupled with Ai Tingya¡¯s affectionate gaze, which was about to overflow with gentleness, anyone who saw it would be envious. The boy in the checkered shirt exploded. He took a few more glances at Luo Feng. He felt that the heavens were unfair! What right did this pretentious guy have to attract the attention of a beautiful girl, and a goddess-level girl at that! And a super considerate one! He was not convinced! The boy in the checkered shirt looked at the thick stack of books and then at Luo Feng, who was flipping through them. That hand speed was more than enough to send wind power. How could he f*cking remember the content? He did not believe it! After carefully observing for a few minutes, the boy in the checkered shirt slapped his forehead and a new thought appeared in his heart! Perhaps¡­ Perhaps¡­ This is a new way to flirt with girls! The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the possibility was very high. After all, the books Luo Feng brought were too spectacular. Not to mention Ai Tingya beside him, even any passerby, be it students or cleaners, would take a few more glances. The guy in the checkered shirt looked like he had learned something and plunged into the bookshelf. In the afternoon. The guy in the checkered shirt walked into the classroom with a pile of books and sat down beside the goddess he liked. Bang! He threw the thick book on the table in a very high-profile manner. The commotion was similar to smashing it. Then, under the goddess¡¯s surprised gaze, the boy pinched the edge of the book and began to flip through the pages. The wind created by the fan made a few hairs on his forehead jump non-stop. He was like a blade of grass in the wind, looking a little comical. After a few minutes, the goddess finally could not help but look at him. The boy resisted the urge to laugh and pretended to be focused on his books. It was not in vain that he had observed and studied for so long. This posture of flipping through books was indeed the most handsome and attractive. Even a goddess would be charmed! Thinking of this, the idol in the checkered shirt flipped through the books even more enthusiastically! In a few minutes, he noticed that the goddess beside him had opened her red lips slightly. It was obvious that she was taking the initiative to talk to him! ¡°Um¡­ Can I trouble you to stay away from me?¡± The Goddess said coldly. ¡°What¡­ What?¡± ¡°You¡¯re flipping through the book. You¡¯re disturbing me¡­¡± The goddess said helplessly. She pointed at somewhere far away, indicating that the boy could sit there. She had an innocent smile on her face, not noticing that the boy¡¯s heart was about to shatter into pieces. Seeing that he was stunned on the spot and refused to leave, the goddess sighed. She packed her things, carried her bag, and quickly left. The boy in the checkered shirt looked at the goddess¡¯ back without a trace of reluctance and could not help but fall silent. Could it be that he didn¡¯t learn it well enough? Impossible! Or could it be¡­ that it was actually a problem with the books! Chapter 245 - Chapter 245 Problem! Student, You’re Too Pitiful! Chapter 245 Problem! Student, You¡¯re Too Pitiful! ¡°Go! Left, left!¡± ¡°Come and save me! I¡¯m going to die!¡± ¡°Yang Bo, you noob dog, can you do it?!¡± ¡°I lost again¡­¡± In the boys¡¯ dormitory, Yang Bo was playing games with a few boys from the neighboring dormitory. Exclamations and screams rose and fell. Coupled with the game¡¯s sound effects, the few of them were quite engrossed in playing. After one round, many people were so excited that their faces turned red. ¡°Forget it, forget it¡­ I¡¯m not playing anymore¡­¡± After losing three consecutive rounds, they were not in the mood to continue. A boy suddenly said, ¡°Speaking of Yang Bo, I heard that your dormitory¡¯s Luo Feng applied to be exempt from all classes this semester?¡± Yang Bo was a little surprised. ¡°Even you know about it?¡± Their building was mixed in the first place. It was normal for students from different faculties to live together. The people in Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory naturally knew that he was applying for an exemption but so they did not tell anyone. The boy who asked was from the Mathematics Faculty. How did he know about this? ¡°Yes! I heard it from Norton in class today.¡± The Norton that the boy was talking about was an analysis lecturer in the Mathematics Department. It was said that he was a high-end technical talent introduced by the school and had already been evaluated as a professor in his early thirties. It was said that he had even gone head-to-head with Professor Vincent in mathematics seminars in the past. In terms of academics, the two of them appreciated each other a little. However, unlike Professor Vincent¡¯s old-fashionedness, Norton was usually easy-going. When he was bored, he would even gossip with the students. ¡°Norton said that? What did he say?¡± Yang Bo asked curiously. ¡°He said that there¡¯s a good show to watch this time. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± The boy smiled. ¡°That¡¯s right. I also heard that Professor Vincent is going to set the questions himself. I think it¡¯s almost impossible for Luo Feng to pass this round.¡± ¡°I think so too. Luo Feng is really ruthless. He dares to apply to be exempt from all subjects. If he really passes the test, I¡¯ll kneel down and call him Big Brother!¡± The attitudes of the boys in the dormitory next door were similar to most teachers. They were all watching the show to see if Luo Feng could pass the test. They did not know Luo Feng very well, so they felt that there was a high chance that he would not pass the test. ¡°There should still be hope for Luo Feng.¡± Yang Bo hesitated. ¡°He was first in their Faculty last semester.¡± The boy retorted, ¡°How can that be the same? I heard that other than the advanced mathematics test, the other teachers in their Finance Faculty are merciful. They¡¯re only in their first year after all. The final examination questions are also based on the students¡¯ standards. Many people who scored full marks in one subject.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Yang Bo also became worried after hearing the boy¡¯s analysis. During the university final exam, most teachers would not have the goal of ¡°taking down the students¡±, and the difficulty of the test questions would not be ridiculous. However, Luo Feng¡¯s situation was different this time. It was rumored that the Dean of the Finance Facultyvery unwilling to accept his application and would definitely ask the teachers of the Finance Faculty to increase their efforts. There must be a barrier between teachers and students. With their knowledge, it was too easy to stump a student. After all, there was no limit to learning. This school did not lack difficult questions. Yang Bo discussed it with the boys and unanimously felt that as long as the teachers of the five courses did not want anyone to pass, they would have to obediently accept their fate even if they were masters and doctorates. Luo Feng might be¡­ in danger! A month later, Luo Feng sat alone in the first row of the classroom. The 40-year-old teacher stood on the podium and looked at Luo Feng with a faint smile. In front of the teacher was a set of handmade test papers. Today was the day of Luo Feng¡¯s exemption test. He had to take five tests a day, from morning to night. It was quite a burden for the teachers to invigilate him alone. The first test was Teacher Chen, who had a foundation in microfinance and mathematics. Just by looking at the name of the subject, he knew that it was related to mathematics. Professor Vincent must have specially taken care of it. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were filled with pity. He supported himself with both hands on the podium and looked down at Luo Feng from above. Only Teacher Chen knew that this seemingly sloppy handwritten test paper in front of him condensed the essence of his many years of research. It was not that he wanted to make things difficult for Luo Feng, but Dean Qi and Professor Vincent had spoken. They said that as long as it was not beyond the scope, it could be as strange as possible. However, speaking of which, there was no limit to learning. Teacher Chen sympathized with Luo Feng as he excitedly came up with a few questions that felt were especially difficult. Now that he saw the calm and composed Luo Feng, Teacher Chen felt that he was such a he badass. Would his test paper scare the student? However, he felt that this might not be a bad thing. If he could make Luo Feng understand that he had to be down-to-earth in learning and not always think that he could succeed overnight, was smart enough to be able to learn all the knowledge that other students could only learn in a semester in a month. Wouldn¡¯t this prove that the teachers¡¯ teaching standards were not comparable to Luo Feng¡¯s self-learning? Teacher Chen hoped that Luo Feng could learn to revere knowledge through this test. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Teacher Chen said kindly. ¡°Yes, Teacher.¡± Luo Feng was on guard. Teacher Chen placed the handwritten test paper in front of Luo Feng and said, ¡°There¡¯s no time limit for our exam. It will end when you finish writing it. If you want to go to the toilet, just say so. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, Teacher.¡± Just as Luo Feng was about to write, someone stuck his head in from the door of the classroom. Professor Vincent walked in with a test paper and said to Teacher Chen, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you, Teacher Chen. The school wants me to participate in a math seminar at the same time as my invigilation. Can I trouble you to invigilate him for me?¡± In the eyes of the teachers, this test was not a serious test to begin with. They felt that it was more like a hurdle to persuade Luo Feng to return to the lost lamb. The main goal was to block Luo Feng and not let him leave the school and run around. ¡°Of course.¡± Teacher Chen took the test paper and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give it to him when he¡¯s done.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself. You can just give it to him.¡± Professor Vincent chuckled. It was the same as the test paper he had set previously. He was not worried about the possibility of cheating at all. Even if he asked Luo Feng to bring it back to the dormitory to do it, he did not have to worry about him using external information. ¡°Alright.¡± Teacher Chen handed the paper to Luo Feng in front of Professor Vincent. When Professor Vincent left the classroom, Teacher Chen accidentally saw the evil smile on his lips. His heart suddenly thumped as he sensed this old man¡¯s intentions. Teacher Chen said curiously, ¡°You aren¡¯t in a hurry to answer Professor Vincent¡¯s paper, right? Let me take a look first.¡± Invigilation was a very boring job. Even though he did not have to keep an eye on Luo Feng, Teacher Chen could not do anything else. He might as well satisfy his curiosity and see what questions Professor Vincent had come up with. Luo Feng handed over the paper and continued to solve the questions. Cold sweat flowed down as soon as he took a look. The corners of Teacher Chen¡¯s mouth could not help but twitch twice. Chapter 246 - Chapter 246 Shocking The Teachers! Who Can Possibly Teach This Student! Chapter 246 Shocking The Teachers! Who Can Possibly Teach This Student! Professor Vincent¡¯s paper only filled one A4-sized paper. There were only two questions, each worth 50 points each. There weren¡¯t a lot. It looked even more sloppy than Teacher Chen¡¯s handwritten paper. At first, Teacher Chen thought that Professor Vincent had asked them to come up with more difficult questions, but he only came up with two. Could it be that he was going easy on Luo Feng? He only knew what it meant when he read the questions. These two questions were not ordinary! Teacher Chen read the questions two to three times before taking out a pen from his pocket. As an invigilator, he only brought a thermos for the invigilator. He had asked Luo Feng for the draft paper. He could not help but start to solve Professor Vincent¡¯s questions. He wrote two pages densely and stopped writing. He realized that he could not continue solving the questions at the back, which meant that his current method about solving the questions was incorrect. Teacher Chen scratched his head and suddenly felt very embarrassed. Even though he was not in the Mathematics Department, he had also graduated from Oxford University with outstanding results back then. His path was extremely smooth. He was promoted to a professor before he was 30 years old. For so many years, he had never neglected his learning. But today¡­ His head was covered in sweat as he put down his pen. He folded the draft paper into a few folds and placed it in his pocket. He picked up the thermos cup, blew at the dense heat and then took a shallow sip. To be honest, he doubted his life. Even though he was not from the Mathematics Faculty, it was not to the extent that he could not even solve the first-year questions, right? Could it be that he had been too relaxed? He felt that the time must have been too short. He was invigilating now and was multitasking. If time was longer and he was more focused, he would definitely be able to solve it. Thinking of this, Teacher Chen took another sip of tea to calm down. He looked at Luo Feng, who was seriously solving the questions below the stage, with sympathy. He did not know how this child would be dealt a blow by the questions¡­ How pitiful¡­ Luo Feng did not notice Teacher Chen¡¯s gaze. He only felt that these teachers were all equally black-hearted-the questions were indeed a little difficult. They did not look like a lot but they were actually successfully more puzzling. If not for the fact that he had studied in the library for a month, the only place he could write on the test paper might have been his name and student number. If it were any other freshman, they might have cried on the spot. Thinking of this, Luo Feng sighed. The human heart was sinister! Fortunately, he was already prepared! Luo Feng wrote quickly. After writing Professor Chen¡¯s test paper, he wanted to return to Professor Vincent¡¯s test paper. His wrist ached from writing. It was already noon when he looked up. Teacher Chen, who was on the podium, was gone. There was only a thermos on the table. ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Feng turned his head to look and realized that Professor Chen was standing behind him. It was unknown what Professor Chen saw, but his eyes widened and were about to fall out. His gaze landed on the test paper one moment and then on Luo Feng. It was complicated and unbelievable. ¡°Professor Chen?¡± Luo Feng called out softly. ¡°Huh? Ah!¡± Professor Chen did not react. ¡°Can I hand in my paper now?¡± ¡°Oh, oh, oh! Yes, of course.¡± Professor Chen seemed to have woken up and nodded repeatedly. He could not wait to take Luo Feng¡¯s test paper away. ¡°Go have lunch. There are other exams in the afternoon¡­¡± He looked at the test paper again and again. The corners of his mouth were pursed into a line, and his expression was quite interesting. Luo Feng felt that Teacher Chen¡¯s expression was strange. In any case, he was not in a hurry to eat, so he asked, ¡°Teacher Chen, when can the results be released?¡± He could not wait any longer. Teacher Chen looked up at him. ¡°I don¡¯t know about other subjects, but my subject¡­ You¡¯ve already passed.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve finished reading the paper. You scored full marks. I agree to your exemption application.¡± Teacher Chen had already finished reading his paper while Luo Feng was solving Professor Vincent¡¯s test paper. Luo Feng¡¯s answer was very perfect and there was no need to grade it anymore. What made him receive even more blows was that Luo Feng had actually finished answering Professor Vincent¡¯s test questions. ¡°Thank you, Professor!¡± Luo Feng was quite happy. ¡°If I was in school, I would definitely attend the class on time!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Teacher Chen refused directly. ¡°Why¡­ why¡­¡± Luo Feng was puzzled. ¡°Ahem¡­ I mean that you¡¯ve already mastered the content of the class. You can delve further by yourself if it¡¯s appropriate.¡± To put it bluntly, self-study was more efficient than attending classes. Without waiting for Luo Feng to ask for the details, Teacher Chen turned around and left, not giving Luo Feng a chance. Luo Feng looked at Teacher Chen¡¯s back as he walked away in confusion. Why did he feel that Teacher¡­ seemed to be a little afraid of him? Teacher Chen walked to the corner and suddenly sped up to hide in the corner. He couldn¡¯t wait to find Professor Vincent¡¯s test paper. Looking at the dense answers written on it, Teacher Chen¡¯s lips curled into a bitter smile. Luo Feng was right. Teacher Chen was indeed a little afraid of Luo Feng, or rather, guilty. Even though Teacher Chen could not solve Professor Vincent¡¯s test paper for the time being, he could deduce it back through Luo Feng¡¯s answer, proving whether he was right or wrong. Luo Feng¡¯s answer was right. At least until now, he had already scored full marks for two of his five subjects. Teacher Chen even felt that Luo Feng¡¯s standard was almost higher than his. Such a terrifying student coming to listen to his class? He was really afraid that Luo Feng would ask him some question he couldn¡¯t answer and then come down to teach him personally. How could he have the cheek to be a teacher again! Thinking of this, Teacher Chen touched the back of his neck that had goosebumps. ¡°Human evolution has already reached this level?¡± He did not know what Teacher Chen had said when he returned. Luo Feng could clearly feel the invigilator¡¯s enthusiasm. In the afternoon, he arrived at the examination hall 10 minutes early and realized that the three teachers were already sitting in the classroom. From their bored expressions, they had probably been waiting for a while. The originally expressionless three people immediately became excited when they saw Luo Feng enter. The three teachers slapped three papers on the table. ¡°In order to save time, the teachers have decided to give you all the papers. The exam will end when you finish them. Do you understand?¡± A teacher said. ¡°No problem.¡± Just like in the morning, Luo Feng sat down and began to answer the questions. The difference was that the three teachers were not sitting on the podium drinking tea like Teacher Chen. Instead, they surrounded Luo Feng and watched him answer the questions. They squeezed behind Luo Feng and formed a solid wall. If it were any other student, they would definitely be so frightened that their backs would turn cold and they would not dare to touch their pen. However, Luo Feng¡¯s mind was filled with thoughts of ending the assessment as soon as possible. Therefore, his pen flew without stopping. When he finished the three test papers, the three teachers snatched away the test papers and looked at them seriously before he could speak. The three of them looked at each other with complicated expressions. ¡°Uh¡­ Teachers, may I leave first?¡± Luo Feng felt that his teachers were too enthusiastic. ¡°Go back and rest well.¡± The teachers were having cold sweat and did not dare to look into Luo Feng¡¯s eyes. Their reaction was really the same as Teacher Chen¡¯s. Chapter 247 - Chapter 247 Passed The Assessment, I Really Can’t Bear To Let You Go Chapter 247 Passed The Assessment, I Really Can¡¯t Bear To Let You Go The results were out the next day. There was only Luo Feng and one test paper for each subject after all. However, Luo Feng was not the only one who knew the news. His exam results were like a spring breeze that blew across the entire Finance Faculty overnight, including the floor where Luo Feng¡¯s dormitory was. Anyone who knew Luo Feng seemed to be thinking about him. Luo Feng was still very confident in himself. After knowing the results, he could bid farewell to his library cultivation and relax in the dormitory. At this moment, Yang Bo and the other two returned from outside. They did not expect Luo Feng to stay in the dormitory. After opening the door, the three of them swept their six eyes across Luo Feng, their gazes especially strange. ¡°Why are you staring at me?¡± Luo Feng felt uncomfortable being stared at. ¡°I realized today that this person is indeed different from others. The difference is too great,¡± Yang Bo muttered. Ali and Hao Yingqiang nodded repeatedly, agreeing with each other. ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng was at a loss. Yang Bo seemed to have recalled something uncomfortable and covered his face. ¡°Today, Professor Vincent made copies of the paper he set for you. All the students who attended his class were lucky enough to obtain it. He asked us to solve the questions well.¡±¡® ¡°Okay¡­ Okay, what happened next?¡± ¡°Next? You have the cheek to ask what happened after that?¡± Yang Bo gritted his teeth. ¡°Then we couldn¡¯t even understand the questions. No one in the class scored anything! They all f*cking scored zero, but a certain. brother actually scored full marks! Full marks!¡± He roared in grief and indignation. It was not rare for a person to score zero. Perhaps that person did not study hard. It was not rare for an entire class to score zero either. Perhaps the teacher who set the questions did not show mercy. However, it was f*cking too much for a person to score full marks while the entire class scored zero! Yang Bo felt very uncomfortable. They were all from the same dormitory. Why did Luo Feng leave them behind? ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± Luo Feng nodded and finally understood why the three of them were crying.¡± Perhaps it¡¯s because you haven¡¯t learned it yet. The range of Professor Vincent¡¯s questions was the entire semester of knowledge. It had only been a month since school started. Others might not have opened their advanced mathematics books many times, so it was normal for them not to know how to do it. Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s understanding, Yang Bo thumped his chest and stomped his feet. ¡°That¡¯s what I comforted myself with at first. But do you know what Professor Vincent said? He said that he brought the paper to the fourth-year students of the Mathematics Faculty to do, but¡­ In the end, only one barely passed!¡± At this point, he suddenly walked over and patted Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Professor Vincent taught the fourth-year students a good lesson because of this. The entire school is after you now. Be careful when you go out and especially avoid the Mathematics Department.¡± ¡°Now that you mention it¡­ I think I should go to Shanghai as soon as possible¡­¡± The corners. of Luo Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. Luo Feng heard a click while he was thinking. Yang Bo raised his phone and took a photo. He stared at the screen and was about to laugh his head off. ¡°Why are you taking a photo of me?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. Yang Bo quickly hid his phone and stammered for a long time. ¡°Luo Feng, someone on the school forum begged for a photo of you at a high price.¡± Hao Yingqiang explained. ¡°Why my photo?¡± Luo Feng did not understand. Were they going to arrest him with the photo? ¡°To worship, of course!¡± ¡°Worship?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If you pay your respects to the God of Studying in the exam, you won¡¯t fail any subjects for the entire year.¡± ¡°There are people who believe that?¡± Luo Feng expressed his shock. There would always be all kinds of strange trends in the school. He did not want his photo to appear on the school forum or someone¡¯s phone at the end of each year. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Yang Bo hid his phone and was the first to stand up and spit on it. ¡°What era is this? Why are there still such feudal superstitions? We¡¯re university students of the new era, the future pillar of our country!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s face was filled with disdain. ¡°Then why did you take my photo?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe in the God of Studying¡­¡± He rubbed his fingers shamelessly and said eloquently, ¡°But I believe in money.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡± Luo Feng rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say to him. At this moment, someone called Luo Feng¡¯s name. Hao Yingqiang and Ali were the closest to the door, so they stuck their heads out. Luo Feng also followed curiously. Yang Bo stayed in the dormitory alone. He felt that the three of them did not show any signs of returning immediately. He immediately lit up his phone screen and placed it on the table. Then, he took out a bag of snacks and placed it in front of Luo Feng¡¯s photo. He pressed his palms together and bowed three times very sincerely. He muttered, ¡°Goddess of Studying, please bless me with full marks at the end of the semester!¡± There was a click as the door unlocked and the three of them returned. Luo Feng stood at the door and looked at Yang Bo, who was bowing to his photo. He did not say anything, but he seemed to have said everything. There were thousands of words in that silence. Behind him, Ali and Hao Yingqiang also looked at Yang Bo in shock. A moment later, Luo Feng said with mixed feelings, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yang Bo stood up straight and placed one hand on his chest, like an enlightened monk. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m used to giving thanks to my snacks for their contribution before eating them¡­¡± ¡°Then what¡¯s with my photo?¡± ¡°I hope there¡¯s a witness¡­¡± Even if the sky collapsed, Yang Bo¡¯s mouth would block it. Luo Feng said disdainfully, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m stupid?¡± ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Yang Bo put away his phone with an awkward laugh. Since he had passed the test perfectly, there was no reason for Dean Qi to stop him. The schedule was tight in Shanghai. Luo Feng had already bought a plane ticket before he obtained the permission. Thinking that he was only exempt from school and not a dropout, everything was normal when he returned to school, so there was no farewell ceremony. Luo Feng hurriedly packed his luggage and rushed to the airport. Only Ai Tingya sent him off. Ai Tingya did not say much along the way. She looked calm as usual, but her stubborn little hand kept tugging at the corner of Luo Feng¡¯s shirt, her eyes filled with reluctance. Luo Feng and her could be said to be inseparable ever since third year of high school. The furthest away was from Luo Feng¡¯s house to the orphanage. They had never lived separately. She did not feel much when they were together. Now that Luo Feng was really about to set off, Ai Tingya finally realized that she was already used to having Luo Feng by her side. Even if it was only a temporary farewell, she could not bear it. In the terminal. Ai Tingya leaned on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder and said in a soft voice, ¡°Luo Feng, what should we do? I really can¡¯t bear for you to leave.¡± Luo Feng looked at the aggrieved Ai Tingya and his heart ached. When Ai Tingya said that she couldn¡¯t bear to part with him, how could he want to leave her? Looking at Ai Tingya¡¯s tears, Luo Feng really wanted to tear up the plane ticket immediately and bring her back to school. The two of them would never be separated. But he couldn¡¯t. He still had something he had to do. Luo Feng rubbed Ai Tingya¡¯s face. ¡°It won¡¯t be long. I¡¯ll be back in two weeks at most. Don¡¯t be sad, okay?¡± Chapter 248 - Chapter 248 An Invitation From A Powerful Being, Not Going! Chapter 248 An Invitation From A Powerful Being, Not Going! Luo Feng was only exempted from compulsory subjects, but that didn¡¯t mean that he didn¡¯t have to attend classes at all. He still had to take credits, or it would still affect his graduation. Some elective teachers might call out names on a whim, so he had to return to school from time to time. Therefore, Luo Feng felt that he and Ai Tingya would not be separated for long. ¡°But¡­¡± Ai Tingya cried. She suddenly covered her face and sobbed softly. Clearly, Luo Feng¡¯s words did not comfort her. Ai Tingya finally could not hold it in anymore just as they were about to separate, even though she endured it throughout the journey. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t want to cry either.¡± Ai Tingya hurriedly wiped the tears on her face and tried her best to make them stop. She kept apologizing to Luo Feng. She didn¡¯t want to make the atmosphere worse, nor did she want to convey her negative emotions to Luo Feng. ¡°Why are you apologizing?¡± Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s face with heartache and carefully wiped away her tears. Ai Tingya lay in Luo Feng¡¯s arms and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m really useless. You have something serious to do in Shanghai. I can¡¯t help you and am instead causing trouble for you.¡± Her sensibility was like needles pricking Luo Feng¡¯s heart, making his heart ache. ¡°Why don¡¯t I stay?¡± Luo Feng suddenly said, his tone very serious. He could not imagine how sad Ai Tingya would be if he left her to return to school alone. Would she secretly hide under the blanket and cry alone? He really regretted moving the headquarters to Shanghai! ¡°No!¡± Ai Tingya suddenly looked up firmly. Luo Feng looked at her crying face and stroked the top of her head with heartache. This girl had been thinking for others her entire life. If Luo Feng really didn¡¯t go, Ai Tingya would feel a thousand times worse than now. She withdrew from Luo Feng¡¯s arms and wiped her eyes vigorously. She sniffed and sorted out her emotions again. Ai Tingya tried her best to look good, as if she was worried that Luo Feng would really not go to Shanghai. Even though her nose was red and her eyes were watery, she really stopped crying. She looked up at Luo Feng and blinked. She grabbed the corner of his shirt with both hands, her expression extremely conflicted. Suddenly, Ai Tingya grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s collar and stood on her tiptoes. Her soft lips pressed against Luo Feng¡¯s and she planted a kiss like a feather. Just as they were about to separate, Luo Feng pressed the back of Ai Tingya¡¯s head and deepened the kiss. Ai Tingya was shy by nature, so there were very few opportunities for her to take the initiative to kiss him. This time, they had been separated for a few days and could not see each other. How could Luo Feng endure just a light kiss? He wanted to kiss her until he was satisfied. Normally, Ai Tingya would have long begun to struggle and push Luo Feng away. However, this time, she actually sniffed Luo Feng¡¯s breathing docilely. Her hands that were pressed against her chest were weakly separated from the two of them. Luo Feng wanted to indulge in the kiss, but his lips suddenly hurt. ¡°Hiss!¡± Luo Feng let go of Ai Tingya, and the corners of his mouth turned red. ¡°I¡¯ll leave a mark on you so that the other girls will know that you have a girlfriend.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s face was flushed red as she was jealous for no reason. Her tone was even a little smug. ¡°You¡¯ve done well.¡± Luo Feng touched the area that was painful from the bite. This girl¡¯s bite was quite heavy. He moved closer to the other side of his face and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we have another one here? Double insurance?¡± ¡°F*ck you!¡± Ai Tingya pushed his face away and looked up at the clock in the terminal. Her smiling face immediately collapsed. She said reluctantly, ¡°It¡¯s time for you to leave.¡± ¡°Eat well and don¡¯t be too tired.¡± Luo Feng scratched Ai Tingya¡¯s wrinkled nose bridge. ¡°I¡¯ll settle it quickly. Come back early and wait for me!¡± ¡°¡­Okay!¡± Ai Tingya bit her lip and was about to cry again. Her tone was filled with anticipation and determination. The plane landed at the Shanghai airport. Cui Kun was already waiting at the airport. He rushed up and snatched Luo Feng¡¯s luggage with one hand when Luo Feng emerged. He grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s sleeve with the other and swung his leg out. His entire body was filled with anxiety as if his butt was on fire. Luo Feng let him pull him along obediently. In the past month, Cui Kun had not been idle when Luo Feng was spending time in the library fighting for the assessment. He had actually done quite well. Luo Feng had not interacted with Cui Kun for a long time, however, every time Cui Kun called to report his work, his voice was methodical. He handled everything well and seemed to be at ease. However, in the few days before Luo Feng¡¯s exam, Cui Kun¡¯s voice became more and more anxious. It was as if everything was about to burn. Luo Feng could only comfort him that he was coming soon. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Luo Feng only had time to ask after being thrown into the back seat. Cui Kun pulled over his seatbelt and started the car. ¡°A big shot wants to see you!¡± ¡°A big shot? Who?¡± Luo Feng was stunned. Just as the car was about to move, Cui Kun could not help but turn his head and say excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s Bezos from Amazon! Boss!¡± Luo Feng was shocked. He was indeed a very powerful big shot to the people in the Internet industry! No wonder Cui Kun seemed to be urging Luo Feng to come every day. Even though it was still 10 years till the peak of the Amazon, Bezos¡¯ status in the Internet world was unquestionable! In the next 10 years, Amazon would stand out from the e-commerce industry and become the leader of the e-commerce industry. Bezos of Amazon was naturally a business giant. Cui Kun, who wanted to start a business, was a fan of his. However, Luo Feng had lived his entire life. He knew Bezos¡¯ history. Successful people who were high and mighty would always have arrogant comments. They would point fingers at the employees below and squeeze them dry. It was so disgusting to Luo Feng. Luo Feng¡¯s reaction was very calm seeing Cui Kun¡¯s excitement. ¡°Bezos wants to see me? Did he say when he would come over?¡± Luo Feng looked out of the window, his tone casual. Cui Kun¡¯s smile froze for a moment. ¡°Boss, what did you say? What they mean is¡­ They want you to go over¡­¡± The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward. Cui Kun looked at Luo Feng as if he had many things to say, but he did not dare to say anything since his boss did not speak. Luo Feng frowned slightly. ¡°You mean they want us to go to his company?¡± ¡°¡­That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°No!¡± Luo Feng rejected it bluntly. Was he in Shanghai to visit his relatives and friends? He was here to work! He might as well stay in school and have a heart-to-heart chat with Ai Tingya if he had time to meet unfamiliar men! It was simply a waste of time and expressions! Cui Kun said awkwardly, ¡°No¡­ Boss, Amazon has called a few times and invited you as a guest.¡± ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng was unmoved. ¡°If he wants to see me, he should come over himself. I¡¯m very busy!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Cui Kun¡¯s mouth felt bitter, and so did his heart. Bezos was the one who invited Luo Feng! It was not that he wanted Luo Feng to please Bezos, but the size of the two companies was obvious. Wasn¡¯t it common sense for small companies to have their tails between their legs? How could they survive on the Internet in the future if they offended them? Chapter 249 - Chapter 249 Bezos Is Here Personally! Boss, Hurry Up! Chapter 249 Bezos Is Here Personally! Boss, Hurry Up! Cui Kun felt that his future was worrying. He did not expect Luo Feng to not give Amazon face to face with his start-up company. The phone in his pocket suddenly rang just as he was about to persuade Luo Feng again. Cui Kun picked it up and took a look. It really rubbed someone¡¯s nose in it. They were looking for him again! His expression changed and he handed the phone to Luo Feng. ¡°Boss, it¡¯s from Amazon.¡± ¡°Take it. Just tell them the truth.¡± Luo Feng was very indifferent. Cui Kun gritted his teeth and picked up the phone reluctantly. ¡°Ah! Yes, yes! It¡¯s me.¡± After saying something, Cui Kun glanced at Luo Feng and saw that his boss was not interested in listening at all. He knew that Luo Feng was not joking. Cui Kun swallowed and said, ¡°My¡­ My boss is very busy and won¡¯t be going. Invite¡­ Invite Mr. Bezos¡­ to our company as a guest.¡± He had already tried his best to be tactful. The other party seemed to be stunned. Cui Kun held the phone and maintained his movements for more than ten seconds. ¡°Drive back to the company,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°He hung up.¡± Cui Kun put down the phone, looking like he was about to cry. Luo Feng sighed and patted his shoulder. ¡°Just say it directly next time. There¡¯s no need to beat around the bush.¡± Cui Kun was speechless. The other party was Amazon! How could he ask Bezos to come over directly? If he didn¡¯t say it tactfully, should it be an order? Luo Feng was the boss, so he was confident if he had something to say. However, Cui Kun was an employee. In the future, he could only avoid Amazon¡­ He could only comfort himself that the high salaries Luo Feng gave him might be money for him to take the rap. The two of them tacitly stopped talking and drove back to the company. Actually, Luo Feng was not lying. He was really busy. Even though Cui Kun¡¯s skills were good, he had never been to Gather Sift Takeaway After all. There were many things that he did not know how to deal with. Only when Luo Feng personally presided over it did Gather Sift Takeaway officially start. Not to mention that Ai Tingya was waiting for Luo Feng in school and Good Me¡¯s headquarters was moving to Shanghai. He was telling the truth when he said he didn¡¯t have time. When the two of them returned to the company, the cold office building changed drastically. While Luo Feng was back studying, Cui Kun renovated his office and recruited some new employees, saving Luo Feng a lot of trouble. However, even so, there was still a lot of work that Luo Feng needed to deal with. ¡°Boss, this is your office.¡± Cui Kun opened the door of an office and introduced weakly. The renovation outside was very simple, but Luo Feng¡¯s office was quite gorgeous. There was even a golden Maneki-Neko on the shelf. It kept waving at the outer shore, as if it wanted to attract all the luck. Luo Feng pointed at a stack of documents on the table. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± ¡°The work waiting for you to deal with.¡± Cui Kun¡¯s voice sounded as though he was about to go out of breath. Rejecting Amazon¡¯s invitation seemed to have dealt him a considerable blow. Returning to the company from the airport did not ease that up. Luo Feng did not know how to comfort him. Perhaps time would dilute everything. ¡°Alright, I have to work. You can leave first.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng sat on the brand new CEO chair and looked at the documents on the table, as if he had returned to the library for the exam. He let out a long sigh and picked up the topmost document to read it seriously. Just as Luo Feng was focused on his work, the door was knocked open with a bang. Cui Kun stood at the door in high spirits, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears. He said excitedly, ¡°Coming! Coming!¡± ¡°What¡¯s coming?¡± ¡°Bezos! He¡¯s really here!¡± Cui Kun could not control his voice. He had originally thought that his company had already offended Bezos. He did not expect Bezos to personally visit their company! ¡°Oh,¡± Luo Feng replied calmly. He lowered his head and continued to read the document, as if the person who brought food to his door would make him more excited than Bezos coming here. Luo Feng could roughly guess the reason why Bezos came to visit. It was most likely for investment. Therefore, he felt that there was nothing to be surprised about. He knew Amazon¡¯s development path very well. Starting from the bookstores, it gradually infiltrated every corner of the Internet business. Even though takeaway was not as good as e-commerce, it was a very important part of Amazon. In the life that Luo Feng had once lived, Are You Hungry had also become a brand under Amazon and which had invested a lot of resources. Compared to the other companies under it, Are You Hungry could be said to have received top-notch treatment. However, the prerequisite was that Are You Hungry was already the number one in takeaway business when it was bought! But now¡­ Bezos had clearly changed his target to Gather Sift Takeaway. ¡°Boss¡­¡± Cui Kun revealed an unbelievable expression. He was already here, so why was Luo Feng still indifferent? Wasn¡¯t he the one who invited him to the company as a guest? ¡°Let me finish this page¡­¡± Luo Feng picked up the tea beside him and took a sip calmly. In the afternoon, Bezos walked into Gather Sift Takeaway. Other than Luo Feng, who was staying in the office and not going out, the other employees were about as excited as Cui Kun when they discovered the guests. Cui Kun led them into the reception room before Luo Feng slowly came out of the office, his face filled with fatigue. When he walked into the reception room, the employees gathered together and discussed animatedly, secretly watching the commotion. ¡°Is it really the legendary Bezos?¡± ¡°I thought our company was a shell company. I didn¡¯t expect to be able to invite the founder of Amazon!¡± ¡°What do you think he¡¯s here for?¡± The employees tried their best to lower the volume of their discussion, but there were too many people, so the people in the reception room still heard them. The smile on Bezos¡¯ face deepened, and he looked at Luo Feng, who was late, with a smile. In order to express his apology for being late, Luo Feng personally brought in tea and said, ¡°Mr. Bezos, you¡¯re really popular in our company.¡± He was the last to arrive and heard everything along the way. An entrepreneur like Bezos was good at managing his personal image. He would also participate in various interview press conferences for the sake of the company¡¯s publicity. This could not avoid being recognized by the public and even being chased by some people as celebrities. He was on Times magazine and was famous on the Forbes Ranking. In addition, his life development was legendary. He could be said to be quite famous. Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s words, Bezos waved his hand and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m just taking advantage of my age. I was still useless at your age, Chairman Luo.¡± Bezos was not stingy with his praises. He praised Luo Feng as soon as he arrived. This made Cui Kun, who was standing beside Luo Feng, feel honored. His uneasy heart was finally suppressed, and he was all smiles. His back was even straighter. Luo Feng smiled politely, mixed in with a little embarrassment. Luo Feng knew very well if he indeed possessed the ability, but where did his current achievements come from? Luo Feng still knew the truth about himself. His current achievements mainly relied on his status as a cash return and freeloader. In he had a little foresight. There was nothing to be proud of. Chapter 250 - Chapter 250 Refusing Investment! Teammates Become Opponents! Chapter 250 Refusing Investment! Teammates Become Opponents! Luo Feng had an extremely clear understanding of himself and felt guilty. However, in Bezos¡¯ eyes, he felt that Luo Feng was neither arrogant nor rash. He was actually able to maintain a calm attitude at such a young age. He held admiration for him secretly in his heart. In an emerging industry like the Internet, there was actually no lack of young and proud people. There were people in their early twenties doing big business both domestically and overseas. However, young people like Luo Feng were still rare. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m here this time because I¡¯m more interested in your company.¡± Bezos went straight to the point. With his status, there was no need to beat around the bush. Luo Feng was a smart person and would definitely understand what he meant. Cui Kun was the first to react when he heard this. His lousy company was actually chosen by Amazon! Actually, Cui Kun was not interested in making takeout and did not want to stay in Gather Sift Takeaway. It was only because Luo Feng knew cloud computing and promised him that he could fork out money to support him that Cui Kun stayed. However, now that Bezos had personally come to visit, Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s status in Cui Kun¡¯s heart immediately increased by several levels! ¡°I see.¡± Luo Feng nodded politely. He was not surprised at all. This was similar to what he had predicted. This calm reaction made Bezos a little depressed. He had never seen such a calm person like Luo Feng. It made him not know how to continue the topic. It had been a long time since he had experienced such an indifferent chat. The reason Bezos personally came was because he had smelled a business opportunity in the delivery industry. It could be said that he valued it quite a lot. However, Luo Feng¡¯s reaction exceeded his expectations. It could even be said to be abnormal. ¡°What do you think, Chairman Luo?¡± Bezos could not help but ask. ¡°What do I think?¡± Luo Feng thought for a moment and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m also very interested in Amazon.¡± Silence. The reception room fell into a deathly silence. Be it Cui Kun or the assistant who came with Bezos, they were all shocked speechless. Especially Cui Kun. He looked at Luo Feng¡¯s back and could not help but feel deep veneration. He felt that his boss was so awesome that he actually dared to say such things to Bezos! Bezos¡¯ eagle-like sharp eyes examined Luo Feng¡¯s expression to confirm if Luo Feng was joking. However, Luo Feng was really serious. What circled in his mind was how much cash he would get if he could buy the Amazon! Just thinking about it made Luo Feng unable to restrain his excitement. Bezos was surprised that he could not see through Luo Feng. He could only laugh dryly. ¡°Chairman Luo is really ambitious¡­¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°I still have to have a dream. What if it comes true?¡± Bezos felt that Luo Feng¡¯s words were a little familiar. It seemed to have been said by a big shot. It looked like Luo Feng was rambling, but Bezos understood that if he did not agree directly, it meant that he had rejected him tactfully. It was definitely impossible for him to buy Gather Sift Takeaway. He was a magnanimous person. Since Luo Feng had secretly rejected him, he would forget about it. He was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he chatted with Luo Feng. Luo Feng realized that Bezos was really a very good conversationalist. Perhaps this was the basic quality of doing business. As long as he wanted to continue chatting, he could find the right topic to talk about, making it impossible to refuse. Even Luo Feng had to admit that Bezos was a powerful person. In this aspect, he was still far inferior to him. The two of them chatted happily. However, Bezos did not stay for long. Like Luo Feng, he had many things waiting for him to deal with. After he bid farewell and left, Cui Kun looked at the empty door in a daze. He looked like a resentful woman waiting for her husband to return home. Cui Kun muttered to himself, ¡°He¡¯s leaving just like that?¡± ¡°What else?¡± Luo Feng looked at his aggrieved expression and wanted to comfort him. ¡°He¡¯s very interested in our company!¡± Cui Kun emphasized. ¡°I¡¯ve already rejected him, so he can only stay in the interested stage,¡± Luo Feng said indifferently. ¡°Bezos can¡¯t force me, right?¡± It was not that Bezos was a person who gave up easily. Gather Sift Takeaway was just a better choice for him and not his only choice. After all, there is still Are You Hungry. There would be many takeaways for him to choose from in the future. Amazon was a giant after all. ¡°We¡¯ll be opponents with Amazon in the future,¡± Luo Feng reminded. ¡°What?¡± Cui Kun¡¯s eyes widened. He could not believe that Luo Feng could casually say such a terrifying thing. He watched on while Luo Feng and Bezos chatted very well just now, Bezos even felt a little impressed by Luo Feng. Why did he turn around and want to be his opponent? ¡°Is it very rare?¡± Luo Feng looked at him as if he was looking at a fool and said matter-of-factly, ¡°If I reject him, Bezos will definitely find our counterpart to cooperate. The fact that Bezos could come to visit personally meant that he valued the takeaway racing track. He would not give up so easily just because Luo Feng rejected him. Luo Feng guessed that he would make the same choice as in his previous life and eventually buy Are You Hungry. He did this to respect what should have happened. Are You Hungry lacked funds more than Gather Sift Takeaway after all. Moreover, Zhang Chuan, the Chairman of Are You Hungry, was more willing to be bought over by a giant. Even though there was this small interlude on his side in the middle, the outcome was the same as in his previous life. To a certain extent, Luo Feng also looked forward to Amazon buying Are You Hungry. Otherwise, Are You Hungry might not be able to last long. If he lost to his opponent, he would have to put aside the matter of getting a large sum of cashback. It was mainly because he had heard that Are You Hungry¡¯s opening of the second market was not going smoothly. Even though it occupied a certain market share, it was really nothing compared to the money they had spent. It seemed that the capital they had spent was about to be used up. Last time, Chairman Xiong had unintentionally mentioned that Are You Hungry was looking for people everywhere to pull in second-round investments. Luo Feng was really worried for them. At the moment, the two families had yet to enter the official racing track. The real money-burning battle had yet to begin. If Are You Hungry died halfway, the battle would delay for a period of time. Luo Feng would have to wait for the second enemy to grow up. Every second was life seeping away. Luo Feng did not have so much idle time to wait. He only hoped that Bezos could save them. Thinking of this, Luo Feng really wanted to go to the temple and ask for a longevity lot for Are You Hungry. In terms of survival, Luo Feng hoped more than anyone else that Are You Hungry could survive for a long time. He said these words casually and did not notice Cui Kun¡¯s extremely unsightly expression. An Internet giant could have been his teammate, but he was forced to become his opponent by his boss. To be honest, he was very flustered! Chapter 251 - Chapter 251 Why Did You Reject It? It Was As If You Missed 100 Million! Chapter 251 Why Did You Reject It? It Was As If You Missed 100 Million! ¡°Boss, has our company really only been established for half a year?¡± Cui Kun asked carefully. ¡°About half a year. Why?¡± Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s answer, Cui Kun was really dumbfounded. How could a small fry who had been established for more than half a year dare to make an Internet giant his enemy? Luo Feng¡¯s actions just now were clearly to push the thoughtful Bezos to the other side. How could he dare! ¡°I know what you¡¯re worried about, but don¡¯t worry.¡± Luo Feng patted Cui Kun¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Didn¡¯t you come back from overseas to achieve something? Why? Did Amazon scare you?¡± Cui Kun¡¯s heart moved slightly when he heard this. Speaking of the lofty aspirations from back then, he was indeed moved¡­ It was true that he was a little excited. However, the other party was a giant¡­ Did his company really have the ability to compete? Thinking of this, Cui Kun looked at Luo Feng, hoping to get an answer from him. Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°I told Bezos that I am interested in Amazon just now. I¡¯m not joking. If we can obtain Amazon in the future, will you be afraid of not having resources even if you want to do cloud computing? Work hard.¡± Cui Kun¡¯s eyes lit up like light bulbs. Even though these words sounded a little ridiculous, they seemed to be a little more credible coming from Luo Feng¡¯s mouth. Amazon was the company with the most talent reserves in Cloud Computing after all. If they could buy it¡­ Cui Kun¡¯s ambition was reignited just thinking about this. Just as Luo Feng had said, he still had to have a dream. What if it came true! Cui Kun wanted to say that since he had already started dreaming, he might as well make a bigger one! ¡°I understand!¡± Cui Kun puffed out his chest, his blood boiling. ¡°Please arrange the first step of the job!¡± He could not wait to fight for the company and contribute his strength! Luo Feng nodded, very satisfied with his reaction. ¡°The first step is to quickly find me a secretary!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Cui Kun was full of energy. ¡°What request do you have?¡± ¡°Capable!¡± ¡°Do you mean capable in that area?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Luo Feng was stunned. ¡°I have a fianc¨¦e¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll keep it a secret for you!¡± Luo Feng felt that Cui Kun¡¯s zodiac was probably a monkey. He could cozy up to any pole. He was considerate for the wrong matter! ¡°Capable in the literal sense.¡± Luo Feng held his forehead and said, ¡°I have a lot of work to do and need to find someone to share it with. This is my only request. Find a good candidate.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± After sending Cui Kun off, Luo Feng returned to his office. He sat in the CEO¡¯s chair and looked at the river in the distance, deep in thought. In fact, Bezos had arrived so early that it exceeded his expectations. It was as if many things in the modern world had accelerated because of his appearance. The acquisition of Are You Hungry by Amazon was five years later in his previous life after all. Moreover, before Amazon joined the game, there was another Internet giant who invested in Are You Hungry. The current situation was that Gather Sift Takeaway occupied a city and was as stable as Mount Tai. On Shanghai¡¯s side, Luo Feng was also aggressive. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Are You Hungry¡¯s current situation would definitely not be able to stop Gather Sift Takeaway. If Gather Sift Takeaway successfully occupied the market of the two cities, it could announce the victory of the food delivery market without waiting for the cash burning war. Bezos must have been unable to sit still for a long time. The fact that he could personally come to Gather Sift Takeaway to discuss with Luo Feng meant that he was also very optimistic about the takeaway business and wanted to get involved as soon as possible. Buzz! Just as Luo Feng was deep in thought, the phone on the table vibrated. He picked it up and saw that the caller ID was ¡°Chairman Xiong.¡± Luo Feng picked up the phone. ¡°Chairman Xiong, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Chairman Luo, Bezos went to look for you?¡± Chairman Xiong sounded very anxious. ¡°He came, but he left again.¡¯ ¡°What do you mean? Isn¡¯t he here to invest?¡± Hearing the anxious voice on the other side, Luo Feng found it funny. As expected, Bezos¡¯ influence was too great. This person might still be on the way back to the company. The news of his visit had already spread in all directions. There was really someone watching his every move. ¡°Yes, he wanted to invest, but I rejected him.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chairman Xiong¡¯s voice almost broke. Luo Feng briefly explained the short meeting just now. During that time, Chairman Xiong did not say a word. After Luo Feng finished speaking, Chairman Xiong was silent for a moment before saying angrily, ¡°Why did you reject him?¡± Luo Feng could feel Chairman Xiong¡¯s heartache through the phone. If there was anyone in Shanghai waiting for Luo Feng, other than Cui Kun, it would be Zishan¡¯s Chairman Xiong. Ever since he invested in Gather Sift Takeaway, Chairman Xiong had gotten someone to keep an eye on Luo Feng. Any news would be sent over immediately. Originally, Chairman Xiong was a little happy to hear that Bezos had taken the initiative to look for Luo Feng today. That was because even a fool knew that Bezos definitely had the intention to invest in Gather Sift Takeaway. With the entrance of a big shot, the market value of Gather Sift Takeaway would definitely increase! Zishan¡¯s investment would also rise in value. However, he did not expect Luo Feng to reject Gather Sift Takeaway. Chairman Xiong felt like he had missed out on 100 million yuan! ¡°Chairman Xiong, I think you know what will happen to the company that was invested in by Amazon¡­¡± Luo Feng explained calmly. Chairman Xiong did not rely on luck to get to where he was today. How could he not know? Amazon Investment Corporation had always had a strategic goal. To put it simply, most of the companies they invested in would definitely join the Amazon Group in the end and become nutrients for the group. To put it simply, they would be controlled. They did not care what goal the founder had when he created the company. They only wanted control and wanted to earn money through investment. ¡°You!¡± Chairman Xiong choked on a word and hung up angrily. The busy tone on the receiver accurately conveyed Chairman Xiong¡¯s emotions to Luo Feng. However, he had long known that the investors¡¯ interests were not the same as his. It was common for them to have differences. If he rejected Bezos and Amazon, Zishan would definitely have something to say. But so what? Even though Zishan held the shares of Gather Sift Takeaway, the right to vote was in Luo Feng¡¯s hands. They could not cause much trouble and could not affect Luo Feng. After putting down the phone, Luo Feng did not take it to heart and continued to deal with the company¡¯s matters. After half an hour, his phone rang again. Luo Feng did not look at the call and picked it up. Chairman Xiong¡¯s voice came from the other end. ¡°Good news. Has Bezos gone to look for Are You Hungry.¡± His tone was filled with gloating laughter. Didn¡¯t Luo Feng have the guts to reject Bezos? He turned around and found a new partner. Coincidentally, Are You Hungry was also looking for investments. He might already be discussing cooperation. ¡°Chairman Xiong, you¡¯re quite well-informed!¡± Luo Feng sighed sincerely. This was no different from installing surveillance cameras on Bezos. ¡°Is this the main point¡­?¡± Chapter 252 - Chapter 252 The Subsidies Are Surging! Grab A Bargain Chapter 252 The Subsidies Are Surging! Grab A Bargain ¡°That¡¯s not the main point of my call¡­¡± Chairman Xiong was speechless. ¡°I¡¯m serious, Chairman Xiong.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°You¡¯re indeed very well-informed.¡± ¡°Of course. I invested in Are You Hungry after all¡­ No¡­ Why aren¡¯t you anxious at all!¡± ¡°I¡¯m anxious! I¡¯m so anxious I¡¯m about to die!¡± Luo Feng spoke slowly, his eyes on the document. Chairman Xiong, who was on the other end of the line, could tell that Luo Feng really didn¡¯t care. Who was the boss?! He slammed the phone down. When Luo Feng heard that there was no more sound on the phone, he did not care. He put down his phone and continued to deal with the documents. Are You Hungry¡¯s headquarters in Shanghai. Chairman¡¯s office. Zhang Chuan kept rubbing his hands like a donkey pulling a mill. He circled the office again and again with an anxious expression. From time to time, he would glance at the door and could not calm down. After two turns, he adjusted his tie against the reflective glass. Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs. Zhang Chuan¡¯s ears immediately perked up. The young temporary worker ran into the office and said excitedly, ¡°Chairman Zhang, Mr. Bezos is here!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll welcome him immediately!¡± Zhang Chuan could not wait to run downstairs. He excitedly welcomed Bezos, who had just stepped through the door. His heart surged with emotions, as if he was about to cry. ¡°Welcome! Welcome to my humble abode, Mr. Bezos.¡± Zhang Chuan held Bezos¡¯ right hand with both hands. His uncontrollable excitement made Bezos feel happy. The reaction of the Chairman of Are You Hungry was the normal reaction anyone should have when meeting him. Luo Feng¡¯s reaction was as calm as a frog¡¯s. Even he almost couldn¡¯t continue chatting. Today, the character had changed. It was Bezos¡¯ turn to nod at Zhang Chuan calmly. He did not say anything and walked into the living room with a group of people surrounding him. Unlike at Gather Sift Takeaway, Amazon¡¯s investment was like rain after a long drought. Zhang Chuan looked forward to new investments. Therefore, the negotiation process was quite smooth. After sitting for less than ten minutes and not even drinking two mouthfuls of tea, the investment matter was settled. Amazon was rich and overbearing. They directly invested 100 million yuan and obtained 60% of Are You Hungry¡¯s shares! They became Are You Hungry¡¯s largest shareholder. If Luo Feng was here, he would definitely shake his head regretfully. Compared to his previous life, Are You Hungry¡¯s valuation was greatly reduced. Are You Hungry was the largest delivery company in the country and occupied more than 30% of the country¡¯s market. Amazon¡¯s 100 million yuan would definitely not be able to buy more than 60%. However, it was different now. Are You Hungry was suppressed by Gather Sift Takeaway. Especially when they opened a second market, they had spent too much to compete with Gather Sift Takeaway. The money from the first round of financing was almost exhausted. Otherwise, he would not have waited for Bezos so anxiously. After obtaining 100 million from Amazon, Zhang Chuan was already very satisfied with Are You Hungry¡¯s valuation of 200 million. yuan. Unexpectedly, Bezos made additional requests. ¡°Director Zhang, I only have a small wish. I hope you can speed up the pace of expansion. You just have to spend money. If 100 million isn¡¯t enough, I¡¯ll come up with another 500 million. You must guarantee that Are You Hungry will become the best in the food delivery industry.¡± The words were not implemented in the contract. It was fine to just agree to it. However, it was Bezos who said this! There was a sense of heroism in his credibility. Zhang Chuan looked at him as if he was looking at the sun. It was as if there were a myriad of rays of light behind Bezos even the savior was only so-so compared to him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Bezos!¡± Zhang Chuan rubbed his hands excitedly and licked his lips non-stop. ¡°With your help, we will definitely grasp the market firmly in our hands and beat them until they can¡¯t turn things around!¡± He had never been so confident ever since Are You Hungry was established. Zhang Chuan almost made a military pledge on the spot. Bezos nodded in satisfaction. This was more like it. This positive response was the attitude of the party receiving the financing. Every time this happened, Bezos could not help but think of Luo Feng. He thought of Luo Feng¡¯s tactful rejection. Bezos was not angry. After all, doing business was definitely a consensual matter. However, he was really curious and did not understand Luo Feng¡¯s confidence in rejecting him. There would always be many hypotheses derived from this reason, which made Bezos feel frustrated. He should not waste his brain on such meaningless things. Thinking of this, Bezos shook his head. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Chuan was very nervous when he saw his sugar daddy shaking his head. ¡°Do you think there¡¯s anything else you¡¯re not satisfied with?¡± ¡°No¡­ I don¡¯t.¡± Bezos laughed. ¡°Work hard. I¡¯ll wait for the good news that you¡¯ll stand at the peak.¡± It was not that he could not see Luo Feng, but his strength was obvious! Are You Hungry had the backing of the powerful Amazon. Luo Feng was just a small individual. What could he use to fight? The surging warpath gradually spread in the night. A week later. During this period of time, Luo Feng barely left the office. Someone would deliver his meals and there was also a separate bathroom in the office. His neck was stiff from reading the information, and strolling in front of the window to relax his eyes was his only way to rest. ¡°Boss, bad news!¡± Cui Kun rushed in anxiously from outside. Luo Feng looked up at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Are You Hungry¡­ Are You Hungry and the others¡­ They!¡± Cui Kun was so anxious that he almost bit his tongue off. ¡°Calm down. What did they do?¡± ¡°Their subsidies are crazy!¡± Luo Feng reacted for two to three seconds before sitting back in front of the computer and opening Are You Hungry¡¯s webpage. The most eye-catching part of the webpage was a window. He could see it at first glance. [I¡¯ll treat you to a takeout! 10 yuan off orders 20 yuan and above! 15 yuan off orders 30 yuan and above!] Luo Feng could not bear to be surprised when he saw this true slogan. It was no wonder Cui Kun was so flustered that he could not finish his sentence. The discount was indeed huge! Not to mention consumers, even the employees of Juyi Company were itching to order the right takeaway when they saw that they could eat takeaway at half price. The temptation was too great, let alone customers. Gather Sift Takeaway might give better benefits to merchants and delivery men, but they were here to earn money. If there were more customers using Are You Hungry than gathering food one day, it would be normal for them to change sides. ¡°Boss, what should we do now?¡± Cui Kun asked worriedly. Just as Luo Feng was deep in thought, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Zishan¡¯s Chairman Xiong was like a clock that could always call at the right time. ¡°Did you see Are You Hungry¡¯s half-price event?¡± Chairman Xiong went straight to the point. ¡°I heard that Bezos directly promised 500 million yuan and won both markets.¡± Chairman Xiong¡¯s information was naturally very reliable. There was only one meaning in his words¡ª Luo Feng, this wouldn¡¯t have happened if you had just accepted the investment back then! Chapter 253 - Chapter 253 Where Will The Future of the Company Be If The Employees Resign? Chapter 253 Where Will The Future of the Company Be If The Employees Resign? Chairman Xiong¡¯s words sounded like he was regretting on behalf of Luo Feng. Amazon had promised to invest more than Zishan after all. Are You Hungry was about to take off. This opportunity had once been placed in front of Luo Feng. Gather Sift Takeaway should have taken off in advance, but Luo Feng gave it up. It was normal for Chairman Xiong to be angry. ¡°Chairman Luo, don¡¯t you have anything to say?¡± Chairman Xiong asked. ¡°Hello? Hello! Where are you?¡± Chairman Xiong did not hear Luo Feng¡¯s voice and did not know what was going on at his end. ¡°Ah¡­ I¡¯m sorry, Chairman Xiong. I was ordering takeout just now.¡± Luo Feng acted as if he was completely out of the situation. ¡°Order takeout?¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s lunchtime.¡± Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s indifferent answer, Chairman Xiong suddenly had a very bad idea. ¡°Are you¡­ Still using Are You Hungry?¡± Even he felt that it was a little ridiculous. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s a waste not to take advantage of it.¡± Luo Feng was especially self-righteous, and there was even a hint of joy in his voice. ¡°I¡­ Hmph!¡± Chairman Xiong was furious and hung up. His sincerity was really fed to the dogs! Cui Kun, who was standing at the side, could vaguely hear the conversation between the two of them. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He could not help but secretly light a candle for Chairman Xiong. With Luo Feng¡¯s current indifferent state, he was probably about to collapse. ¡°Cui Kun¡­ Are you listening?¡± Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s voice, Cui Kun came back to his senses. ¡°What? Boss, you called me?¡± ¡°Yes, I ordered afternoon tea for everyone. Remember to get someone to go down and get it.¡± Luo Feng repeated what he had just said. ¡°Got it.¡± Cui Kun agreed as he observed Luo Feng¡¯s expression. He was really as steady as a mountain and as calm as an ancient well. It was as if nothing had happened. After placing the delivery order, he focused on the work on the table. This stable state also affected Cui Kun. When he left the office, he took another look at Luo Feng. He realized that there was a smile on his boss¡¯s lips, as if he had thought of something happy when he was stretching. It was as if there was not a pile of documents in front of him, but a birthday cake that could fulfill his wish. It was really strange. Luo Feng was in charge of the overall situation in Shanghai. He relied on the delicious afternoon tea to stabilize the emotions of everyone in the company. Xie Yan and the others who stayed in the school did not receive such good treatment. The office building was in an uproar! Are You Hungry¡¯s subsidy this time was mainly targeted at the second market. Luo Feng had yet to officially enter the Shanghai market after all. Are You Hungry could focus on the school first. It could be said that all the resources were piled up at the entrance of Gather Sift Takeaway! Even though Are You Hungry had just suffered a blow during the new year, the situation was even more serious this time. Xie Yan and the others could not rest easily. Gather Sift Company was in a tizzy and in a mess. ¡°President Xie, our daily life is declining rapidly!¡± ¡°Are You Hungry¡¯s orders are rising too quickly! What should we do?¡± The reports from both sides were like battle reports during a war. They were handed to Xie Yan one by one. Xie Yan felt a headache coming on as he listened to the snowflake-like news. He had to admit that large subsidies were easy and effective, especially when the main customers were students. They were extremely sensitive to prices. Are You Hungry¡¯s half-price subsidy had only been implemented for three days, and many loyal customers of Gather Sift Takeaway had already turned to Are You Hungry. Xie Yan turned to the computer. The backstage showed that the number of orders for the past two days had plummeted. ¡°What can we do¡­¡± Xie Yan pinched his eyebrows and muttered to himself, ¡°What can we do?!¡± He had not slept a wink ever since he found out that there was a huge subsidy by his competitors. The dark circles under his eyes expanded wantonly, and they were already wider than his eyes. The other party¡¯s move was too straightforward. He was bullying others with his wealth. Xie Yan had estimated that with the current subsidies, Are You Hungry would lose an average of eight to ten yuan per order. It could almost be said to be throwing money to deliver food to customers. Everyone in the office was overwrought. Everyone was thinking of a way, but no one could think of a way out. There was no way they could produce a mountain of gold. ¡°Why don¡¯t we¡­ Get Chairman Luo come back¡­¡± Someone suggested carefully. After saying that, he quickly hid. Xie Yan¡¯s eyes lit up for a moment hearing that reliable name, but he quickly extinguished it. He shook his head and said, ¡°No! Shanghai is Are You Hungry¡¯s headquarters. It must be even harder on his side. We have to hold them off ourselves!¡± With that, he made a call and asked his classmates in the dormitory to help send the blankets to the company. From today onwards, Xie Yan will stay in the company 24/7! ¡°The price can¡¯t be cheaper than the other party, so let¡¯s compete in quality!¡± Xie Yan said. ¡°We have to make full use of our advantages now to ensure the quality of the service, delivery speed, and packaging! In addition, I¡¯ll visit high-end restaurants and try my best to get them to join us!¡± Xie Yan thought of a very difficult solution. It was only slightly better than waiting for death. The other members of the team looked at each other. They could not tell if it was good or bad. They could only take it one step at a time! ¡°Then I won¡¯t get off work either!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get my roommates to send the cups over too!¡± ¡°Our company has so much space. It won¡¯t be a problem for a few more people to sleep here!¡± Everyone in the team responded immediately. They were all veterans who had watched the company grow. They had relied on their hard work to get to where they were today. All of them were prepared to work 24 hours a day. If Luo Feng could see everyone¡¯s reaction, he would definitely be very happy. He had been worried about how to let Xie Yan and his team grow up. He did not expect the answer to be very simple. Danger would push their growth as long as he was not with them. However, Luo Feng had no time to be happy now. This was because there were more things to do in Shanghai. The document in front of him was not thick, but the three words on it surprised Luo Feng. ¡°Resignation letter?¡± Luo Feng picked up one on the surface and realized that there was another letter below. There were several layers of resignation letters. Cui Kun, who had brought these letters, stood at the side with his head lowered, not daring to speak. His face was filled with nervousness. In the current situation, Luo Feng¡¯s way of comforting him seemed to be lacking. ¡°Are these the only people who are quitting?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ a total of 15.¡± Cui Kun was a little embarrassed. He was the one who recruited these people after all. At that time, he patted his chest and promised Luo Feng that he would be slapped in the face if they suddenly resigned. He whispered, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m sorry.¡¯ Luo Feng was very open-minded. ¡°What¡¯s there to be sorry about? I can¡¯t stop the mother if she wants to marry off the daughter when the sky wants to rain. I approve.¡± He understood this human nature. The employees of Shanghai were different from Xie Yan and the others. They had no feelings for Gathering Sift. People flowed upstream while water flowed downstream. It was very normal for them to resign if they felt that the company had no future. Luo Feng was not angry at all. He approved the resignation letters with a few swipes. Cui Kun came out of the office with the resignation letters. He looked at the empty work desks and the milk tea that had yet to be drunk. He felt very upset. He was suddenly confused. Does the company still have a future based on the current situation? Chapter 254 - Chapter 254 The Life of Nobodies, To Go Or Stay? Chapter 254 The Life of Nobodies, To Go Or Stay? Are You Hungry¡¯s subsidy attack swept through the entire market. Not only were higher-ups like Luo Feng and Xie Yan affected, everyone related to the companies on both sides seemed to be facing a choice. That afternoon, Mao Rong, who had been idle for a long time, sent the last order in his hand and drove back to the familiar shop. He sat on a stool at the door to rest. In the past, the delivery man would be the busiest at noon. Sometimes, there were too many orders. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., there was no time to even stop for a sip of water. Even though Mao Rong was very busy, he felt very fulfilled. In his early years, he was a foreign worker who came to the big city from a small town. He could only do odd jobs everywhere like duckweed because he did not have any special skills. He worked in this restaurant today, but he might change to a construction site tomorrow. He was living a very difficult life. Later on, he unintentionally heard from his workmate that Gather Sift Takeaway was recruiting delivery men. The benefits and treatment were not bad, so he gave up living on the construction site and became a delivery man. Mao Rong had even received Luo Feng¡¯s year-end bonus last year and walked around the stage because he was hardworking and could endure hardships. He had never thought that the delivery man job would give him a life he had never had before. The income that he did not even dare to think about in the past was really heavy in his hands. It was so heavy that his heart felt at ease. Mao Rong¡¯s wandering heart seemed to have calmed down. Every night after work, he pushed his electric scooter that was about to run out of battery. He fantasized about his life after saving enough money. He was indescribably satisfied. However, recently, Mao Rong realized that something was wrong. The orders for the past two days were decreasing, and there were more and more people wearing Are You Hungry¡¯s blue uniform on the streets. On Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s side, there were groups of three to five guarding the entrance of some shops. Some merchants would specially set up a few chairs at the entrance for the delivery man who was waiting for the order to rest as they were all familiar faces. After Mao Rong sat for a while, a few people in Gather Sift Takeaway uniforms sat beside him too. They were all delivery men from the same company and chatted smoothly even though they did not know each other¡¯s names. ¡°Are You Hungry is recruiting people everywhere again?¡± One of them looked at the sky and sighed. ¡°So be it,¡± Mao Rong said casually. ¡°Haven¡¯t they been recruiting previously too?¡± It was not the first time Are You Hungry was recruiting. Recently, they had been in the limelight, so it was not strange for them to recruit. Moreover, he had heard that many people from Gather Sift Takeaway had jumped ship from Are You Hungry because the benefits and treatment here were better. ¡°It¡¯s different this time!¡± That person said mysteriously. ¡°I heard from my friend that Are You Hungry has invested a lot this time! It¡¯s very awesome!¡± Another person said, ¡°I heard that too. Are You Hungry¡¯s takeout is free now. The delivery man over there orders every day. They aren¡¯t able to handle it because there are too many orders! They are making so much money!¡± ¡°It¡¯s that good?¡± ¡°How can what I said be fake? I have a friend who jumped ship from Are You Hungry. He¡¯s back there now. I heard from him that he can¡¯t finish sending orders in a day. Ten to twenty thousand yuan a month would be a small amount!¡± That person¡¯s voice was very agitated. The others fell silent as they listened. Their daily salary was actually not bad. They could still earn seven to eight thousand yuan a month even though they did not have the Spring Festival subsidy and had more free time every day. This was much higher than doing other jobs. However, they could still feel that the number of orders for Gather Sift Takeaway was decreasing. The number of blue uniforms rushing past on the street had increased. The employees at the bottom did not know about investing in stocks, but they could still sense that there were fewer orders in their hands. ¡°Is our company failing?¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. The other company is cash rich. Our boss might be generous but he¡¯s still too young. He definitely doesn¡¯t have that much money.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we change places too?¡± It was unknown who brought it up, but it was as if the secret bubble had been popped. The delivery man fell silent again. However, they could not hide the excitement in their eyes. Mao Rong said nothing. This was a notification from his phone. A new order had arrived. He put on his hard helmet and left on his electric scooter. The next day. Mao Rong sat at the entrance of the same shop at the same time to rest. It was very quiet today. Those familiar delivery men did not come here. Mao Rong felt that something was wrong and walked into the shop to ask the shop owner, ¡°Boss, did the colleagues who were with me yesterday come to your place today?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± The boss¡¯s first reaction was surprise when he saw the uniform on him. ¡°You haven¡¯t jumped ship yet?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°You still don¡¯t know. They¡­¡± The boss glanced at the door and smiled. ¡°They¡¯re here. Take a look for yourself. I¡¯m busy.¡± Ding! A notification sounded on the bar counter. ¡°Are You Hungry¡¯s order. The rider has arrived. Please serve the meal as soon as possible.¡± Mao Rong turned around and saw that his colleague, who was wearing the same uniform as him yesterday, had changed into a blue uniform today. The two of them looked at each other, and the scene was a little awkward. The man pursed his lips in embarrassment. ¡°What a coincidence¡­¡± ¡°So soon? How¡¯s it going on your side?¡± Mao Rong expressed his understanding. As the saying went, it was in man¡¯s nature to strive for better. It was not like they had signed a contract to sell themselves. It was human nature to choose better. ¡°Tiring! My commission for every order is lower than at Gather Sift Takeaway.¡± The other party sighed. ¡°But there are really too many orders! I haven¡¯t rested since I started work this morning. I didn¡¯t even have time to eat.¡± It was a good thing for the delivery man to be busy. Mao Rong smiled faintly and said, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± People like them were not afraid of being tired, but of not earning money even after working so hard. ¡°Oh right.¡± That person hesitated for a while and decided to say it. ¡°Why don¡¯t you come here too? Are You Hungry is really short of people!¡± That person also had good intentions. When the delivery men gathered together to chat, they could tell that Mao Rong was a good person and everyone got along very well. Therefore, he wanted to persuade Mao Rong to come over. Mao Rong thought for a moment and shook his head. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m used to it here. It¡¯s too troublesome to switch places.¡¯ That person said anxiously, ¡°But I heard that Gathering Sift is about to collapse! I heard from the people at Are You Hungry that they invested a lot of money this time to destroy Gathering Sift!¡± ¡°Forget it¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, why are you so stubborn!¡± That person tried to persuade him. ¡°It is the best time to earn money at Are You Hungry now. It¡¯s the best time to jump ship. When the Gathering Sift completely collapses, the discount might not be so big. It¡¯s good for you to come over and earn more money.¡± That person was telling the truth. Mao Rong said, ¡°Then we¡¯ll talk about it when Gathering Sift collapses. They gave me so much money. It¡¯s really not appropriate for me to leave just like that.¡¯ ¡°Aiya, you¡¯re really!¡± The man wanted to say more, but the shop owner had packed the food. After chatting, that person had to continue working. Before leaving, he took a few more glances at Mao Rong and left on his electric scooter without saying anything. Mao Rong walked to the entrance of the shop and sat on a stool at the door to rest with his eyes closed. Chapter 255 - Chapter 255 Luo Feng Returns, Relaxed! Chapter 255 Luo Feng Returns, Relaxed! Are You Hungry¡¯s orders were increasing day by day, and Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s orders were decreasing day by day. Some chose to stay, while others chose to leave. Mao Rong would always sit by the street and observe when he was not doing a delivery. There were more and more blue uniforms on the streets in the district he was in. There were also many familiar faces. At least a third of the people in Gather Sift Takeaway were gone. Are You Hungry¡¯s poaching made everyone panic. The most common topic Mao Rong had heard recently was about jumping ship. Almost all the delivery men were thinking about this. Mao Rong was relatively calm. Of course, he understood the logic. It was the instinct of all animals to seek benefits and avoid harm. However, he had an awkward thought in his heart. He felt that Gather Sift Takeaway was his benefactor, allowing him, a drifting duckweed, to have a root. A few years ago, he was all alone. He had to calculate for half a day if he could eat meat with his meager salary. Gather Sift Takeaway had given him a place to stay so that he could get a high salary of twenty to thirty thousand yuan a month, as well as the year-end bonus personally issued by his boss. Not only that, which delivery company would pay the delivery man¡¯s insurance and pension? Even Are You Hungry could not compare to this. Only Gather Sift Takeaway was treating them seriously. Mao Rong had been secretly grateful. His family background was not good. He did not study much and did not know any skills. However, he felt that one had to have a conscience. Even if he was going to leave one day, he could not leave when Gather Sift Takeaway was at its most difficult time. Ungrateful people were simply inhumane! Therefore, even though the number of orders for Gather Sift Takeaway had decreased recently, it could be said that it was getting worse by the day. Mao Rong¡¯s heart might be heavy, but he had never had the intention to leave. He was an insignificant employee. He insisted on living and dying with the company. It was for no other reason than a place to belong to. ¡°Hey, do you want to come with us¡­¡± The delivery man who was chatting with him asked softly. Just like before, Mao Rong shook his head and pushed the electric bike away from them. Such a boring life lasted for many days. There were fewer orders and the phone was quiet. Mao Rong gradually got used to such peace. On this day, Mao Rong finished delivering the last order in his hand and prepared to return to the familiar shop to wait. The quiet phone suddenly vibrated. Mao Rong thought that it was a new order. When he opened it, he realized that it was a group message from the company-Thank you for still insisting on your loyalty and guarding Gathering Sift during such Difficult Times. In order to thank you for your efforts, the company has upgraded your rider¡¯s level and increased your distribution share. Thank you again, from Luo Feng. Mao Rong looked at the message and suddenly laughed. He did not know much, but he knew that the company was in the most difficult period. Raising the delivery share could not solve the company¡¯s problem, but it could solve the problem of the delivery man¡¯s low orders. Mao Rong¡¯s heart warmed. The company was still thinking about the low-level employees at this time after all. ¡°So be it.¡± Mao Rong rode his electric bike and hummed a tune diligently. So what if Gathering Sift was poorer? At least Mao Rong had never felt this warmth elsewhere. He suddenly felt a little mushy thinking of the content of the message. Is me just doing my job considered being loyal and guarding the business? Mao Rong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Buzz¡ª At this moment, the message notification sounded again. ¡°Friendly Hint: Gather Sift Takeaway has decided to invest 400 million yuan to start delivery subsidies. The number of orders will increase rapidly. Please be prepared and arrange your working hours reasonably.¡± For a moment, Mao Rong thought that he had received a scam message. ¡®¡­¡± He was speechless. How could the company he was in be so rich? In the office. Xie Yan and the team members sat in the office. Bang! Xie Yan slammed the table and stood up with a determined expression. ¡°Brothers, Gather Sift Takeaway is at its critical moment!¡± Everyone in the team had dark circles under their eyes and their expressions were very heavy. Are You Hungry¡¯s subsidy was too fierce. They ate and slept in the company every day and took turns to rest. The data did not change even though they did their best. It could not reverse the current situation. Initially, Gather Sift Takeaway had more than 50% of the local market. Now, it was completely suppressed by Are You Hungry. Xie Yan knew that this was something they would have to face one day. However, the difficulty far exceeded his imagination and seemed to have exceeded his ability. The difference in strength could not be resolved by hard work after all. Xie Yan clenched his fists. ¡°I¡¯ve decided to give up all my salary and pump it all into the operations now!¡± Saving the salary of one person was only a drop in the bucket. It would not be of much use. However, this was all Xie Yan could do. At least he felt a little better. Most importantly, it could boost morale! Hearing Xie Yan¡¯s words, the dispirited and depressed employees looked up with fighting spirit on their faces. Xie Yan was panting heavily. He was really under a lot of pressure. He had not slept well for a few days and his body was already exhausted. He calmed down a little after stimulating everyone¡¯s fighting spirit. Clap, clap, clap- Suddenly, a round of applause came from behind. Everyone looked at the door in unison and were instantly stunned. ¡°Well said! You have to have this drive!¡± A familiar person applauded repeatedly. ¡°But our company doesn¡¯t encourage free contributions.¡± ¡°Luo Feng? You¡¯re back!¡± Xie Yan was so surprised that he almost cried. He was surprised to discover that the pressure on his body suddenly lessened the moment he saw Luo Feng. He was not the only one. Everyone in the office looked much more relaxed. The feeling of their backbone returning was really reassuring. ¡°I¡¯m very touched by Boss Xie¡¯s dedication!¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Hahaha!¡± Everyone laughed at the same time. They had not smiled like that since Are You Hungry¡¯s attack came. After a short period of relaxation, everyone¡¯s expressions became heavy again. The people in the meeting were basically from Xie Yan¡¯s team. Almost all of them were students with hot blood that disregarded benefits. ¡°The company is short of money, so I don¡¯t want my salary either!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve saved up some money. I don¡¯t want a salary either. I¡¯ll give it my all!¡± ¡°We have to fight vigorously even if we can¡¯t defeat Are You Hungry. We can¡¯t be so aggrieved!¡± They did not hear what Luo Feng said at all. Luo Feng looked at everyone¡¯s excited expressions and knew that they were under too much pressure. They were already starting to doubt the current situation even though they looked like they were fighting. Fortunately, he came back in time. He clapped his hands. ¡°I understand everyone¡¯s feelings for the company, and I¡¯m very grateful for everyone¡¯s contribution to the company. However, it¡¯s not to the extent that our company can¡¯t afford to pay you.¡± ¡°Boss, we are volunteering!¡± The employees said seriously. There might not be many employees in the world who took the initiative to refuse their salaries. When the bosses of other companies heard this, they would definitely drool with envy. Chapter 256 - Chapter 256 Four Hundred Million Yuan, Let’s Play Seriously Chapter 256 Four Hundred Million Yuan, Let¡¯s Play Seriously If Luo Feng was a capitalist, he would definitely be very relieved at this moment. Unfortunately, he was not. ¡°Ahem!¡± Luo Feng coughed twice and interrupted everyone¡¯s hot-headedness. ¡°Actually, I came back this time to invest 400 million yuan in the company¡­¡± The hot-blooded team was silent, as if someone had pressed the pause button as soon as he finished speaking. Everyone¡¯s gazes gathered on Luo Feng, leaving only shock. Xie Yan felt like there was a huge rock in his heart. It pressed down and moved for a while, over and over again. His feelings were very complicated. He had always thought that the company was very poor! With Luo Feng¡¯s money-consuming style, it would not be enough even if his family ran a money printing factory. Xie Yan knew Luo Feng went to Shanghai to build a headquarters and use money to buy a way out. They would save as much as they could and try not to cause trouble for Luo Feng, so they had never told Luo Feng the real situation with the company in detail. But In the end, he took the initiative to return and wanted to invest another 400 million?! Okay¡­ ¡°However, since our President Xie has spoken, I can¡¯t embarrass him. I agree with all his decisions.¡± Luo Feng smiled at Xie Yan. ¡°Um¡­ I might have been a little rash¡­¡± Luo Feng shook his head and patted Xie Yan¡¯s shoulder. He joked with some admiration, ¡°Say no more. Boss Xie is wise!¡± Xie Yan had an unbelievable expression. Luo Feng had actually made fun of him as soon as he returned! Wise? What do you mean by wise? I¡¯m so poor that I have no choice but to tighten my belt! The two of them actually did not care about that little salary. Luo Feng had always objected to any suffering that his employees had to go through. Xie Yan was a rich second-generation heir. If Luo Feng did not return this time, he might have gone home to borrow some money from his father. However, there was no need for that now! Even though the money was not much, Xie Yan felt that it was his salary and he should want it. On the other hand, Luo Feng wanted to clean up the atmosphere of the company. He did not want them to give up when they encountered something. They would only be a qualified worker if he worked hard to fleece the company! The two of them bickered for a while, and the atmosphere in the office instantly became lively. However, there was something that Xie Yan did not understand. He rubbed his sore eyes and said, ¡°Speaking of which, Luo Feng, why did you endure it for so long since you¡¯re rich?¡± It had been almost a month since Are You Hungry started subsidizing crazily. Xie Yan did not believe that Luo Feng had gone to raise money during this period of time. With his understanding of his boss, Luo Feng must have other reasons. Luo Feng smiled. ¡°What if Bezos escape If I attack too early?¡± Luo Feng naturally had to wait for such a rich and imposing opponent to go deeper before he could reap more profits. ¡°Huh?¡± Xie Yan did not understand. ¡°Boss, are you alright?¡± Xie Yan and the employees of Gathering Sift were not the only ones who could not understand Luo Feng¡¯s intentions. Zhang Chuan was in the same boat. For the first two weeks, he was in a good mood. It was like racing on an empty road and seeing his opponent pedaling along the street. The difference was obvious and he was confident of winning. After obtaining Bezos¡¯ investment, his mood improved. Are You Hungry had done a good job in providing subsidies, and the market feedback was very good. Zhang Chuan watched as Gather Sift Takeaway became weaker and weaker day by day. It was about to die. In the end, bad news came before Zhang Chuan could be happy for two days. ¡°What? You said that Gather Sift Takeaway has also begun to give subsidies?¡± Zhang Chuan stood up and questioned the assistant in front of him sternly. The assistant trembled. ¡°Yes¡­ Look at their webpage.¡± Zhang Chuan opened the homepage of Gather Sift Takeaway in a panic and looked up with a string of red words. ¡°11 yuan off orders above 20 yuan!¡± It was one yuan more subsidy than Are You Hungry. The intention is too obvious! It is definitely on purpose! Zhang Chuan¡¯s anger instantly burned, but it was quickly extinguished. He sneered and sat down. ¡°Hmph, you overestimate yourself. Don¡¯t you know that we took 100 million yuan from Amazon? How dare you learn from us!¡± It was good to have a big tree to lean against. Especially when they were leaning on an enormous tree. Zhang Chuan was filled with confidence and felt that they had already won. The assistant whispered, ¡°But I heard that¡­.. the boss of Gathering Sift took out 400 million¡­¡± Zhang Chuan¡¯s smile froze on his lips, thinking that he had heard wrongly. ¡°400 million?¡± His eyes widened. ¡°Are you serious?¡± Which rich daddy is so arrogant? ¡°There¡¯s no mistake! They sent a notification message to the rider! They said that they have a war chest of 400 million!¡± The assistant said. Zhang Chuan¡¯s temples hurt. Zhang Chuan had already experienced the effectiveness of the subsidy during this period of time. He felt that the entire city was ordering takeaway, and they basically chose Are You Hungry. Money gave Are You Hungry this feeling of crushing its opponents. To be honest, it was very satisfying! But if the opponent was richer than this¡­ Zhang Chuan was so flustered that he could not find his way. Zhang Chuan felt a headache coming on as he kept circling around to think of a way to deal with it. After some thought, he realized that none of them were usable! Strength could not be made up for by hard work after all. After thinking for a long time, Zhang Chuan decided to tell Bezos this news. Amazon was also very confident at first, however, they were still stunned after receiving the call. Bezos repeated, ¡°You¡¯re saying¡­ the boss of Gathering Sift said that he wants to fork out 400 million yuan as subsidies?¡± Zhang Chuan had never seen Luo Feng in person, but Bezos did. He had not heard of any movements from the Gathering Sift in the past month. Bezos thought that Luo Feng had already worn it out. Why did he suddenly take out 400 million? Bezos frowned. 400 million yuan was not a small matter. There should be some news about it. Who could silently give Luo Feng 400 million yuan? He could not think of a suitable candidate. Bezos shook his head. The most important problem now was not where Luo Feng¡¯s money came from, but how to deal with Are You Hungry. He asked, ¡°How much money is there left on the books now?¡± Zhang Chuan hesitated for a long time and squeezed out a few words. ¡°It¡¯s almost all gone¡­¡± Bezos sighed. Burning 100 million a month was a little fast¡­ ¡°We wanted to occupy the market faster, so we made the event a little bigger¡­¡± Zhang Chuan explained, giving Bezos a reason. Bezos knew the trick and was not worried about the money. He knew that this was not a problem with Zhang Chuan, but the market. It was because Luo Feng and the others were far more tenacious than he had expected. Thinking of this, Bezos felt a little embarrassed. Even though he had told Zhang Chuan to invest with a budget of 500 million yuan in the beginning, Amazon¡¯s money did not come from nowhere. The others in the company would feel heartbroken even if he did not feel heartbroken about burning so much money. However, the 100 million yuan he had invested previously would be wasted if he withdrew his investment. No way! Moreover, Are You Hungry would be suppressed by Gather Sift Takeaway if they did not invest more now. They would only have a moment of glory if they invested only 100 million¡­ That would become an investment with no reward. No one could accept it, let alone Bezos, who was a successful businessman. He was not going to take it lying down! Chapter 257 - Chapter 257 Another Round Of Investment, More Additional Investments? Chapter 257 Another Round Of Investment, More Additional Investments? Bezos was unwilling to burn 100 million yuan and only obtain a temporary splash! Bezos was suddenly stunned realizing his emotions. Previously, he had waited for a month without seeing Luo Feng move. Are You Hungry had a good effect, causing Zhang Chuan and Bezos to be filled with confidence. Could it be that Luo Feng had seen through this and waited until now?! Wait until Amazon is trapped before attacking? But why? Bezos shook his head, unable to think of a reason for Luo Feng to do so. Luo Feng waited for Amazon to be trapped before making a move. This meant that Amazon would definitely invest more in order to take back their previous investment. Then this competition would extend, and Luo Feng would only use more money. Luo Feng would definitely not be so provocative unless he was simply unhappy with Are You Hungry or Amazon, he . ¡°Mr. Bezos¡­ The current situation¡­¡± Zhang Chuan hesitated, wanting to see Bezos¡¯ attitude. The other side of the phone was silent. This made Zhang Chuan¡¯s heart pound. He was worried that Bezos had other considerations and would take negative countermeasures. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll transfer another 500 million over. Amazon has never been afraid of anyone in terms of funds!¡± Bezos took a deep breath and made a decision. No matter what Luo Feng was planning, takeaway was very important to Amazon. Bezos decided that he had to have it! ¡°Yes! Yes! I understand! Don¡¯t worry!¡± Zhang Chuan was so happy that he almost jumped up. Bezos hung up the phone. He was still worried after pondering. Then, he dialed a number. At the same time. Luo Feng sat at the head of the desk and organized a meeting with the higher-ups of the company. Money was not the only thing that mattered to deal with the powerful Are You Hungry. On the contrary, money was the easiest part. If it was really so easy, Luo Feng could just transfer the money to the company¡¯s account. There was no need to rush back. As he had waited for a month, the current takeaway market was completely different from before Luo Feng left. How should they set up the subsidies? How should they communicate with the merchants? The most important thing was how to get the delivery man team that was about to fall apart together. Previously, there were many delivery men who had jumped ship. There were definitely not enough delivery men coupled with the increase in subsidy orders. However, one thing was certain. The delivery men who were still in Gather Sift Takeaway were the most loyal to the company. If they formed a takeaway group with them as the center, their loyalty would be much higher than before. It could purify employees. This was also part of Luo Feng¡¯s plan. ¡°Everyone, tell us your thoughts. We¡­¡± Before Luo Feng could finish speaking, the phone on the table vibrated. Chairman Xiong had called again. ¡°Chairman Xiong? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng picked up the phone. ¡°Chairman Luo, I heard that you¡¯re taking out 400 million?¡± Chairman Xiong¡¯s voice was filled with disbelief. Luo Feng did not hide anything. ¡°Yes, the decision was made in a hurry and I didn¡¯t have time to inform you. This is considered to be financing. Do you want to invest together?¡± Chairman Xiong felt a headache coming on. Luo Feng asked him if he wanted to invest? To be honest, Are You Hungry was at the cusp of the storm now? No matter how he looked at it, the momentum there was better. Wouldn¡¯t Chairman Xiong be crazy if he invested in Gather Sift Takeaway now? ¡°Our funds are tied up now.¡± Chairman Xiong rejected it tactfully. ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Feng did not mind at all. It did not matter to Luo Feng whether Zishan invested or not. Moreover, if Zishan invested more, Luo Feng would have to manage their shares, which would be another troublesome matter. ¡°Speaking of which, Chairman Xiong, did you call for something else?¡± Luo Feng asked. Chairman Xiong smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was just shocked by your 400 million. I didn¡¯t expect you to have a backup plan.¡¯ Luo Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had sensed the other party¡¯s motive. He smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Sigh, Chairman Xiong, you don¡¯t know. I¡¯m taking out all my wife¡¯s capital to take a gamble.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too humble.¡± Chairman Xiong smiled. Luo Feng was not lying. His money could only roll so much because of Ai Tingya. In a sense, it could indeed be said to be ¡°the capital given by his wife¡±. In short, it was ¡°the wife¡¯s capital¡±. ¡°Good luck then. I¡¯ll wait for your good news.¡± Chairman Xiong said hurriedly and hung up. Luo Feng¡¯s smile deepened when he heard the busy tone on the phone. Things were not much different from what he had guessed. Chairman Xiong hung up on Luo Feng and turned to call Bezos. ¡°I¡¯ve asked around. 400 million is Luo Feng¡¯s last asset!¡± Chairman Xiong told him confidently. ¡°Hah! Is that so?¡± Bezos laughed. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s really rare to have so much capital at such a young age.¡± ¡°It¡¯s still far inferior to yours.¡± Chairman Xiong was also delighted. Zishan had invested in Are You Hungry and Gathering Sift at the same time. In terms of investment amount, he was biased towards Gather Sift Takeaway. Logically speaking, he should be more biased towards Gather Sift Takeaway. However, Luo Feng did not seize the opportunity and let Are You Hungry lean on Amazon. Even though Zishan did not have direct cooperation with Amazon, it did not mean that Chairman Xiong did not crave this big ship. How could he miss this opportunity that came knocking on his door! As expected, Bezos sensed Chairman Xiong¡¯s intentions and knew that he had added more allies. He smiled even more happily. ¡°Let¡¯s teach young people these days what a true business war is.¡± The final battle of the takeaway subsidy battle began the moment Luo Feng took out the money! The financial news had crazy field days for the past two days. They were all about Are You Hungry and Gather Sift Takeaway. ¡°Gather Sift Takeaway spent 400 million to subsidize its customers!¡± ¡°Are You Hungry raised 500 million and announced that they will enter the top 10 front-line cities in the country!¡± ¡°Gather Sift Takeaway will increase the stakes again and start the city takeover with Are You Hungry!¡± The inspiring headlines were endless and varied every day. Bezos paid close attention to the news report. There was a problem that had been lingering in his heart. As the showdown heated up, he became more and more confused. Didn¡¯t Luo Feng say that he had taken out all his wife¡¯s capital? Why was he still adding more stake? Could it be that he had more than one wife? This idea was too ridiculous. Bezos had no choice but to call Chairman Xiong, wanting to ask him what was going on. Chairman Xiong could not figure out what was going on. He simply called Luo Feng again and asked him indirectly about the funds before his intentions were completely exposed. This time, Luo Feng¡¯s tone became heavier. ¡°I borrowed it from everywhere. My relatives and neighbors take a detour when they see me now. It¡¯s really difficult for me. By the way, Chairman Xiong, can you lend me some?¡± ¡°Sorry to disturb you¡­¡± Chairman Xiong hung up. He couldn¡¯t tell if Luo Feng was telling the truth so he could only pass on Luo Feng¡¯s words to Bezos. He would leave it to Bezos to determine if he wanted to believe him or not. Bezos gritted his teeth and stomped his feet hearing the front-line message from Chairman Xiong before adding another round of investment to Are You Hungry! Chapter 258 - Chapter 258 Do You Want to Starve to Death If I Don’t Come? Chapter 258 Do You Want to Starve to Death If I Don¡¯t Come? In less than a week after the additional investment, an eye-catching news headline appeared¨D ¡°The boss of Gather Sift Takeaway has thrown in another 600 million yuan. Are You Hungry has been repeatedly thwarted in various big cities!¡± Bezos was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He called Chairman Xiong and questioned him, ¡°Is this what you mean by having difficulty?¡± Chairman Xiong felt wronged. He had only relayed Luo Feng¡¯s words to determine if Bezos wanted to invest more. ¡°I¡¯ll make another call¡­¡± He was also very curious where Luo Feng got so much money and why he could add investments after investments. ¡°Hello? Chairman Luo, didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t have any money? Why did you add another round?¡± Chairman Xiong didn¡¯t hide it anymore. The first thing he said when the call connected was to get straight to the point. Luo Feng replied very sincerely, ¡°Chairman Xiong, you came at the right time. I was just about to share my joy with you. I won the lottery two days ago. It was exactly 600 million. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a coincidence, hahahaha¡­ Hello? Chairman Xiong? Why did you hang up?¡± After putting down the phone, Luo Feng was only happy for two minutes before he turned to the snaking long queue in front of his desk, filled with employees waiting to report to him. Luo Feng did not rest for a moment when he returned to the school. The outside world only saw him spending money. Hundreds of millions were just a headline or a news report of a few hundred words. However, when it came to Luo Feng, no matter how much money he spent, it would become work items that he had to deal with. When he was in Shanghai, there were mountains of documents on Luo Feng¡¯s desk. However, there was too much work to report from Xie Yan, so they simply lined up in front of Luo Feng¡¯s desk. During this period of time, everyone at Gather Sift Takeaway was crazy busy. The number of orders had increased exponentially, and the Technical Department needed to strengthen the server overnight. With the new market, the Human Resources Department and the joint publicity department released advertisements to recruit people. They also had to be in charge of follow-up training. Xie Yan was keeping an eye on the development app during this period. It was already coming to an end. Among the many jobs, Luo Feng valued the development of the application the most. Even if he was busy, he had to personally ask about his progress. He had already entered the last few stages. Even though there was a lot of work that could be decided with a word and was handled very quickly, there were also many situations that Luo Feng did not know how to deal with. He could only discuss it with Xie Yan and the others and cross the river. Previously, Xie Yan¡¯s team had all lived in the company because the company was facing a crisis. The office was already very cramped, but they still had to make room for Luo Feng. The higher-ups of the company each had a sleeping bag, and many employees below were working overtime. However, compared to the last battle, everyone¡¯s mentality changed when Luo Feng returned with the funds. Exhaustion did not affect everyone¡¯s enthusiasm. At night. The lights on the Gathering Sift¡¯s floor were still on. There were especially many things to do today. People kept coming to report their work, and Luo Feng sat on the stool without moving his butt. The takeaway he ordered at noon was placed aside without being touched. A male employee and colleague came out to take a breather. ¡°Wow, Boss Luo hasn¡¯t left the office for the entire day. His body won¡¯t be able to take it if this continues,¡± his colleague said worriedly. As there were many people entering and leaving the office, the door was always open. The employees passing by could see what Luo Feng was doing at a glance. During this period of time, the employees below were working overtime until they were about to vomit. They would complain a little from time to time, but because Luo Feng worked more overtime than them, everyone¡¯s mood was still very stable. ¡°That¡¯s right. We can still lie down for a while when we get home from work. They live in the company and work when they open their eyes. It looks so hard.¡± The boss was working harder than the employees. The employees saw this and their tempers were a little better. ¡°Sigh, I wonder how long I have to work overtime. This bone of mine is really¡­¡± Just as the two of them were chatting, a gentle voice interrupted the topic. ¡°Hello, may I ask where Luo Feng¡¯s office is?¡± Ai Tingya stood elegantly in front of the two of them with a thermos box in her hand. She had a gentle smile on her face, as if it had its own gentle light. The two employees were stunned for a moment and stood rooted to the ground. ¡°Hello?¡± Ai Tingya greeted him again. The last time she came to Gathering Sift was when Hao Yingqiang was blackmailed. Therefore, many employees in the company did not know Ai Tingya. ¡°Ah¡­ Ah¡­ You mean our boss?¡± The male employee came back to his senses and blushed. He stuttered incoherently, ¡°The¡­ office¡­ is there!¡± He pointed at the open door a few steps to the side. ¡°Thank you.¡± Ai Tingya thanked him softly and quickly walked into the office. The two people behind her looked at her beautiful figure and their noses itched, as if they could smell the residual fragrance in the air. It was as intoxicating as the fragrance of wine. They looked at each other and understood the sorrow in each other¡¯s eyes. So what if he went home to lie down after work? He was still alone! ¡°Hmph, someone even brought food to him when he¡¯s working overtime¡­¡± The male employee said sourly. ¡°No wonder the boss likes to work overtime so much!¡± Knock, knock- There was a knock on the office door. Luo Feng did not even look up. He pointed at the small table beside him. ¡°Put the information over there first. I still have a few pages. Ai Tingya, who had entered, carried the thermos box and looked at the mountain of information and takeaway that had yet to be touched on the table. Her eyes were filled with heartache. She stood quietly at the side, her gaze lingering on Luo Feng¡¯s face. Luo Feng waited for a while and realized that the person who entered did not put out any information. He thought that he had some oral report. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡­¡± Before he could finish, Luo Feng looked up and saw Ai Tingya¡¯s gentle smile. ¡°Tingya, why are you here?¡± Luo Feng suddenly stood up. Perhaps it was because he had not seen her for too long, his heart was beating wildly and he was actually a little nervous. Rumble- His stomach complained at an inappropriate time. Ai Tingya pouted. ¡°You might have starved to death if I hadn¡¯t come.¡± After Luo Feng returned, he hurriedly returned to the company. He was so busy that he did not even have time to send Ai Tingya a message. Xie Yan was the one who informed Ai Tingya, otherwise, she would have thought that Luo Feng was still in Shanghai. She knew that Luo Feng was very busy and did not want to disturb him. Are You Hungry and Gathering Sift were getting along very well after all. Many news newspapers were reporting about the two companies. Luo Feng had shown that he was not inferior to Amazon, but the outside world actually thought more highly of Are You Hungry. This was because Amazon was behind them. With their strength, it was not a problem for them to fight another two to three rounds. Many experts analyzed the current situation and felt that the reason why they were evenly matched was mainly because Amazon was not serious yet. The experts felt that Gather Sift Takeaway would have no chance of winning once Amazon took it seriously! Under such an environment of public opinion, everyone had the impression that Gather Sift Takeaway was very brave. It was precisely because of this that everyone in the company was like a tense string under the pincer attack of many pressures. Ai Tingya did not want to distract Luo Feng because of her. However, she would subconsciously think of Luo Feng when she saw the dark circles under Xie Yan¡¯s eyes in class every day. She was really worried. Chapter 259 - Chapter 259 Holiday Because Of The Female Boss! Chapter 259 Holiday Because Of The Female Boss! ¡°You¡¯re really! Do you think you¡¯re made of iron!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s voice was filled with anger. It was rare for her to flare up at Luo Feng. ¡°Look at you. You don¡¯t eat or sleep all day! I help you make up lies every time Auntie calls because I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ll be worried!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Luo Feng was about to say that he had not forgotten to eat when Ai Tingya pointed at the untouched takeaway. Luo Feng instantly did not dare to speak. He looked up guiltily and saw that Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes were red. She bit her lip stubbornly to stop herself from crying. Luo Feng panicked. He pulled Ai Tingya¡¯s wrist and pulled her into his arms. He placed her on his lap and coaxed her. ¡°There is too much work on hand. I¡¯ll get off work after dinner. Not only will I get off work, but I¡¯ll also have a break. Don¡¯t cry.¡± Ai Tingya sniffed and glared at Luo Feng. Then, she opened the thermos box in her arms and said with a sobbing tone, ¡°I made some soup for you. Drink some to nourish your stomach before eating.¡± The fragrance wafted out eagerly as soon as the lid was lifted. Luo Feng¡¯s stomach, which was already protesting, pounded when he smelled the fragrance of the meat. He said in surprise, ¡°Tingya, you know how to make soup? It smells so good!¡± Luo Feng knew that Ai Tingya knew how to make desserts. In the past, the conditions in the orphanage were not good and there were no conditions for the children to use food to practice. Therefore, Ai Tingya did not have much chance to enter the kitchen. She could help wash the vegetables and peel the garlic at best. ¡°I learned it from the web.¡± Ai Tingya rubbed her red eyes. She thought of something and quickly put her hands behind her back. This cheap shot could not escape Luo Feng¡¯s eyes. He grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and used a little force to pull it in front of him. He realized that there were two to three band-aids wrapped around Ai Tingya¡¯s hand, some fine path openings, and an obvious red spot on her palm. Her fair hands became covered in wounds. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s heart ached. Ai Tingya did not answer. Her eyes darted up and down, looking very guilty. ¡°What happened?¡± Luo Feng emphasized. ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ I scalded myself a little¡­¡± Ai Tingya retracted her hand and whispered, ¡°It¡¯ll be fine soon.¡± She tried her best to appear calm, but her small hand that was slowly covered in wounds made Luo Feng¡¯s heart tighten. He could not lecture her. This was all for him after all. Luo Feng sighed softly and stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s head. He picked up the thermos box and drank the soup, without leaving any drop. ¡°I¡¯ll heat up the food.¡± Ai Tingya stood up and picked up the lunch takeaway that Luo Feng had not eaten. A group of employees hid behind the door and leaned against the desk while sizing up their boss¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Some of them had seen Ai Tingya at the annual meeting, but they definitely couldn¡¯t get enough of looking at beautiful young ladies. When Xie Yan heard that Ai Tingya was here, he hurriedly ran out of the office to greet her. The two of them were classmates after all. During this period of time, Xie Yan had skipped class and stayed in the company. It was all thanks to his roommates and Ai Tingya¡¯s help that he managed to muddle his way through. He had to come out and thank her no matter what. At this moment, Luo Feng, who was chasing after Ai Tingya, also came out of the office and bumped into Xie Yan, who looked tired. Luo Feng felt a little guilty seeing his ugly expressions and dark circles that were about to fall to his chin. His body had undergone additional strengthening, and his physique far exceeded that of ordinary people. Therefore, he could endure it even if he worked overtime and only slept for a few hours a day. However, Xie Yan and the others were different. They felt that they could fall asleep just by standing. ¡°Xie Yan, you came at the right time. I announce that the company is on leave for three days!¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°All the employees, including you, have to rest well.¡± ¡°Ah? But the company¡­¡± Xie Yan was stunned, as if he was a little unwilling. Luo Feng did not give him a chance to refute. ¡°This is the boss¡¯s order. Also, everyone has worked hard recently. I¡¯ll give you an additional two months of salary this month.¡± Xie Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it turned into a yawn when he opened his mouth. He was really too tired. He nodded in agreement unwillingly seeing how determined Luo Feng was when he mentioned the reward. The employees below would probably be unhappy if he objected again. ¡°Yay!¡± ¡°Long live the boss!¡± The employees¡¯ cheers were draggy. Only then did Xie Yan realize that everyone was really tired. Many employees had just joined recently. They had heard that the boss of Gather Sift Takeaway was generous, but they did not expect him to be that generous. He gave them a three-day leave and doubled their salaries! All the employees suddenly felt that their waists were no longer sore, their eyes were no longer swollen, and they had more energy working overtime! Ai Tingya, who was heating up the food, heard a commotion outside and came out of the pantry with the hot food. A hand reached out and took the slightly hot takeaway from her hand. Luo Feng handed the food to Xie Yan and smiled. ¡°President Xie, you¡¯ve worked hard. It was just heated up. Don¡¯t waste the food.¡± With that, he pulled Ai Tingya and strode out of the office. ¡°Tsk.¡± Xie Yan pursed his lips and looked at the takeaway in his hand in disdain. He hesitated for a moment before bringing it back to his office and ate it silently. It tasted good, but there was an illusion of dog food. Ai Tingya¡¯s Ferrari in the parking lot downstairs was very eye-catching. Luo Feng subconsciously went to the driver¡¯s seat with the philosophy that men should drive. However, he was chased to the front passenger seat by Ai Tingya. Luo Feng closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh of relief as soon as his butt touched the leather chair. Even though his physical fitness was good, he was not made of steel. He was still tired. His tense nerves suddenly relaxed after leaving the company. Luo Feng¡¯s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he closed his eyes to sleep. Ai Tingya¡¯s heart ached when she saw Luo Feng like this. She slowed the car down and tried to cruise. When they returned to school, Ai Tingya looked at the quiet campus and remembered that they had passed the gate prohibition time and could not enter. After hesitating at the entrance of the school for a moment, Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng¡¯s sleeping side profile and turned the car around, returning to the large flat that Luo Feng had bought for her. The Ferrari stopped in the garage. Ai Tingya was not in a hurry to wake Luo Feng up. She found a small blanket and covered Luo Feng with it. She took out her phone and flipped through the class materials sent by her teacher. After about half an hour, Luo Feng woke up. He half-opened his eyes and looked around in a daze. He realized that he was still in the car. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call me?¡± Luo Feng sat up and stretched. Ai Tingya smiled and did not say anything. She supported her head and looked at Luo Feng seriously. Luo Feng pinched Ai Tingya¡¯s little face helplessly. This silly girl had a good temper and was understanding. She could really accompany him for the night in the car if he did not wake up. These thoughts could always touch Luo Feng¡¯s softest spots. ¡°Let¡¯s head up.¡¯ ¡°Okay.¡± The two of them opened the door and went home. Luo Feng took a shower first. He had only been lying on the bed for less than two minutes he came out before he fought for his eyelids to stay open. The sound of water splashing in the bathroom was like a lullaby, luring him to fall asleep again. when At this moment, he felt the blanket being lifted and a soft and warm thing burrowed in. Ai Tingya arched into Luo Feng¡¯s arms and hugged him like a koala. Chapter 260 - 260 Looking For A Beautiful Female Secretary? 260 Looking For A Beautiful Female Secretary? Ai Tingya burrowed into Luo Feng¡¯s arms and hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would run away. Luo Feng patted Ai Tingya¡¯s back. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I miss you so much¡± Ai Tingya buried her face in Luo Feng¡¯s chest and whispered. During the day, Ai Tingya could still restrain herself and keep reminding herself that Luo Feng was very busy and could not be distracted by romantic matters. Therefore, she had been suppressing her longing. However, she could no longer control her emotions and greedily breathed in his scent when she hugged Luo Feng. ¡°I miss you in class and I miss you when I eat. I think of you when I see the white clouds in the sky and the fallen leaves by the roadside.¡± Ai Tingya whispered her thoughts. ¡°I think of you every moment. I miss you but I can¡¯t see you. I¡¯m very sad.¡± Her voice was a little aggrieved. When Luo Feng heard her voice, he hugged her entire body and lowered his head to steady Ai Tingya¡¯s mumbling mouth. The soft touch made Luo Feng¡¯s breathing quicken, and the arm around Ai Tingya kept tightening. How could he not miss Ai Tingya? ¡°Uh¡± Ai Tingya let out an uncomfortable groan. Luo Feng came back to his senses and immediately relaxed his arm. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Tingya. Are you alright?¡± Ai Tingya was still buried in Luo Feng¡¯s words. She raised her hands and wrapped them around Luo Feng¡¯s neck. She looked up, her beautiful eyes flickering with hazy water. Her face was flushed, and her thin lips parted slightly. ¡°Take me.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s mind buzzed. When he came back to his senses, he was already on top of her. Luo Feng¡¯s phone stopped for three days when Gather Sift Takeaway had a three-day break. Anyone with a little discernment knew that the young couple was definitely glued together. Xie Yan did not see Ai Tingya in class and roughly guessed the reason, so he stopped everything and did not let anyone disturb Luo Feng. As it turned out, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had indeed not left their room for three days. They had food delivered to the door. Luo Feng¡¯s appetite and extraordinary physique made up for the past two years of intimacy in three days. In the end, Ai Tingya could not take it anymore and kept begging for mercy, regretting agreeing to Luo Feng. After the three-day vacation ended, Luo Feng returned to Shanghai. The general direction of Gather Sift Takeaway had been determined and its advancement was very stable after working overtime for so many days. The rest were small matters. Luo Feng believed that Xie Yan¡¯s ability was enough to settle them. He hurriedly took a plane and left. The main company of Gather Sift Takeaway was in Shanghai and had just started after all. Ai Tingya was stuck with him and could not be separated for even a moment. She applied for a few days off from the school and went on a long trip with Luo Feng thinking that she could take a look at the milk tea branch. After getting off the plane, the two of them split up. Luo Feng returned to the office first. Luo Feng realized that the atmosphere in the company was clearly different from before he left when he reached the office. Even Cui Kun¡¯s lifeless eyes were lively. He looked at Luo Feng with admiration. Luo Feng felt strange being stared at. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something on my face?¡± Cui Kun scratched his head and licked his lips, only smiling. He had finally seen through Luo Feng¡¯s strength. He would definitely do his job and not abandon him! This person was too rich and had the strength to support the cloud computing project after all. However, Cui Kun definitely could not say this out loud. He changed the topic. ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve found your secretary for you!¡± ¡°Secretary?¡± Luo Feng had almost forgotten about this. ¡°Yes! According to what you said, beautiful and capable!¡± Cui Kun said confidently. ¡°You¡¯ll definitely be satisfied!¡± ¡°Ahem! It¡¯s a good thing to be capable, but if she¡¯s beautiful I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need¡± ¡°But she¡¯s really beautiful! I¡¯ve been looking for her for a long time!¡± ¡°¡± Luo Feng looked at Cui Kun speechlessly and looked behind him. Cui Kun suddenly felt a chill run down his back and a faint dangerous aura! He turned around and saw another beautiful girl giving him a seemingly friendly smile with a fake smile. Cui Kun swallowed and squeezed out a smile. ¡°Lady Boss, you¡¯re here. Ahahaha¡± Oh no, he had offended Ai Tingya He looked at Luo Feng, hoping that the boss would help cover for him on account that he was working so hard. He did not expect Luo Feng to pretend to look around at the scenery, but he did not dare to look at him. Cui Kun knew that he could not stay here for long! ¡°Hahaha, then I won¡¯t disturb the boss and the lady boss. Goodbye!¡± Cui Kun walked to the door with stiff hands and feet and even closed it considerately. The lock closed with a click, and Cui Kun could not help but shiver. He was on the brink of tears. He wanted to suck up and coax the boss better, but he did not expect to completely offend the lady boss. Luo Feng could not help but shiver in the office. Ai Tingya, who was standing in front of him, crossed her arms and leaned lazily against the table. Her bulging little mouth was pouting, and her expressive eyes were clearly waiting for Luo Feng¡¯s explanation. ¡°Ahem, it¡¯s not what you think¡± Luo Feng gestured and explained, ¡°Cui Kun misunderstood me¡± He was also very flustered. Who would have thought that Cui Kun¡¯s execution would be so on point? He had indeed said that he wanted to find a capable secretary, in the literal sense of capable. He was really talented at understanding it in the wrong way He had even added some unnecessary appearance conditions All of this was actually alright but mainly because Ai Tingya had heard it! Of course, Luo Feng was not afraid of anything, but Cui Kun emphasized something he shouldn¡¯t have! ¡°The female secretary, is she so beautiful that it¡¯s worth meeting her?¡± Ai Tingya smiled, but there was a terrifying meaning to her words. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. Luo Feng was not stupid and hurriedly explained, ¡°No! I just want to find a secretary to help share the work.¡± He pointed at the mountains of documents on the table to prove his innocence. Ai Tingya did not say anything. She pursed her lips and was still very unhappy. Of course, she did not really suspect Luo Feng. Luo Feng had been in Shanghai for so long after. If he really wanted to do something, he would have long succeeded. With Luo Feng¡¯s intelligence, he would definitely have hidden it well. How could she have overheard it? Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s expression that could not calm down for a long time and instantly understood her thoughts. This girl has just given herself to him. It was normal for her to hold on to small matters. Luo Feng walked over and hugged Ai Tingya. He held the back of her head and let her lean gently on his shoulder. He coaxed her softly, ¡°I already have you. How can I fancy those vulgar girls? Cui Kun really misunderstood.¡± Ai Tingya rolled her eyes at Luo Feng. ¡°Who knows? There are so many good-looking girls in this world.¡± ¡°Who said so! You¡¯re the best-looking person in the world in my heart!¡± Luo Feng swore. ¡°No one can compare to you!¡± Chapter 261 - 261 Invitation To The Internet Forum! 261 Invitation To The Internet Forum! Luo Feng coaxed her for a long time and was about to swear to the heavens but Ai Tingya still did not fall for his tricks. ¡°I swear to God! I¡¯m loyal to you!¡± Luo Feng patted his chest. ¡°Pfft!¡± Ai Tingya laughed out loud. ¡°You¡¯re the sweet-talker.¡± Ai Tingya could not pretend to be angry anymore seeing Luo Feng¡¯s flustered appearance. She looked at Luo Feng seriously and revealed a smug smile. Only then did Luo Feng realize that he had been played by this silly girl. ¡°No!¡± She looked up at him. ¡°You can¡¯t get a female secretary!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get Cui Kun to change to a male secretary immediately!¡± Luo Feng hurriedly said. Unexpectedly, Ai Tingya stopped him and volunteered, ¡°I¡¯ll be your secretary.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Men can¡¯t get close to you either. Only I can!¡± Ai Tingya said domineeringly. The two of them had just poked through the last layer of window paper and wished they could stick to each other. Ai Tingya wished she could stay with Luo Feng every second. Being his secretary could satisfy her wish. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s lips curled up into a meaningful smile. ¡°Ah Probably¡± Ai Tingya felt that something was wrong. Moreover, this strangeness seemed familiar. She hesitated for a moment and could not figure it out immediately. Therefore, she nodded foolishly. Luo Feng let go of her and walked to the door to confirm that it was closed. He locked it. ¡°It¡¯s broad daylight Why are you locking the door¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She stood on the spot shyly, not daring to look into Luo Feng¡¯s burning eyes. ¡°Of course I have to ¡®work¡¯.¡± Luo Feng chuckled. Ai Tingya retreated as he walked forward. Ai Tingya pressed her back against the glass until she was forced to the French window. When she turned around, she could see the prosperous Shanghai clearly. She also had the illusion that she could see everything clearly. She pressed against Luo Feng and said angrily, ¡°Someone will hear us!¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Luo Feng lowered his head and exhaled in her ear. ¡°Cui Kun is the best at reading people¡¯s expressions. He must be hiding far away now.¡± Cui Kun was too smart and was caught red-handed by the lady boss. He was not sure if his boss could deal with it successfully. He must have gone to hide. ¡°Secretary work definitely doesn¡¯t include this!¡± Ai Tingya grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s wrist and stopped him from exploring her body. ¡°For others but you¡¯re different!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s tone was especially serious. ¡°I Mmph!¡± After some time, Ai Tingya disarmed and surrendered. She leaned on the table and said weakly, ¡°You¡¯d better find another secretary.¡± ¡°No need. You did very well. I¡¯m very satisfied.¡± Luo Feng smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and said, ¡°I think the others are not strong enough.¡± ¡°No! I¡¯ll find you a beautiful woman!¡± Ai Tingya was about to cry. She said firmly, ¡°I¡¯ll definitely satisfy you!¡± She did not expect Luo Feng¡¯s stamina to be so good that she really could not keep up. For the sake of her life, he had to let Luo Feng put his merits into serious work! ¡°Hmph, the boss is going to be unhappy.¡± Luo Feng carried Ai Tingya and placed her flat on the sofa. He poured her a glass of water. After settling his tired lover down, he sat at his desk and picked up a document. At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. ¡°Boss! Boss!¡± Cui Kun knocked on the door with a hint of urgency. ¡°Boss, open the door!¡± Luo Feng opened the door and let him in. Cui Kun, who was originally smiling, immediately retracted his smile when he saw Ai Tingya. He still remembered that the lady boss he had offended just now To his surprise, Ai Tingya sat on the sofa with a flushed face. Not only was she not angry, but she was also looking forward to it. ¡°No, I¡¯ve already changed her position.¡± Cui Kun shook his head like a rattle drum. He was not a fool. How could he place a bomb beside his boss? He still wanted to live to complete his ambitions. However, why did he feel that the lady boss was a little disappointed? ¡°Why are you here?¡± Luo Feng steered the topic onto the right track. ¡°Ah! A national Internet forum in Shanghai recently sent us an invitation!¡± Cui Kun smiled brightly. ¡°It¡¯s one of the top forums in the country. Those who are qualified to attend are all top Internet companies in the country! Boss!¡± Luo Feng nodded. He had heard of such a forum before. It could be considered an admission ticket to the top Internet circle. It was not just because the people who came were all big shots of the Internet circle. More importantly, these forums had official endorsements. Many of the topics discussed here were related to the policies above and even became references for some new rules in the future. As a company that had been established for less than a year, it was really rare for Gather Sift Takeaway to receive an invitation. The naughty Cui Kun was so excited. Luo Feng took the invitation and looked at it. He turned to ask Ai Tingya, ¡°Do you want to go take a look?¡± Cui Kun¡¯s eyes widened when he heard this. This invitation was something that many Internet companies might not be able to obtain even if they spent money to pull strings! Luo Feng¡¯s tone of asking seemed to be like eating. If he wanted to go, he would go. If he didn¡¯t want to go, he wouldn¡¯t. Cui Kun looked at the invitation and almost drooled. Ai Tingya did not expect Luo Feng to ask her. She was stunned for a moment and did not know what to do. Luo Feng said calmly, ¡°Actually, going to this forum is not of much use to us. We¡¯re just going to join in the fun.¡± He was clearly not as excited as Cui Kun. Luo Feng knew the state his company was in. The reason why he received the invitation was most likely because of the recent reputation of Gather Sift Takeaway. In terms of social status, they were still too inexperienced. If they really went, they would be nothing in front of a group of veteran enterprises, so he couldn¡¯t care less about it Therefore, Luo Feng was not interested. However, if Ai Tingya was interested, he did not mind accompanying her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ai Tingya thought for a moment and said seriously, ¡°The invitation has been sent after all. We are not giving the other party face if we don¡¯t go.¡± She was thinking about the official background of the organizer. In the future, they would inevitably have to come into contact when they start to develop in Shanghai. It was beneficial to their future development to leave a good first impression. Therefore, they would not offend them if they could. Luo Feng also knew that Ai Tingya was thinking about the big picture. He nodded and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Luo Feng brought Ai Tingya along for the event. The two of them got out of the car and saw a sea of people in front of them. Cameras raised above their heads and the flashing lights were like a grand press conference. Luo Feng originally thought that it was just a relatively simple industry forum, but he did not expect it to be so big. Looking at the platform logos on the microphones, probably more than half of the top reporters in Shanghai were here. It was enough to show how grand the event was. Chapter 262 - 262 Newcomers Attend, The Most Good Looking Person! 262 Newcomers Attend, The Most Good Looking Person! The ground was covered in a red carpet. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had just stood at one end of the red carpet when the cameras turned over in unison. A reception staff walked over and bowed slightly. ¡°Please show your invitation.¡± Luo Feng handed the invitation to him. When the other party saw this, his calm face immediately changed to a smile. ¡°So it¡¯s Chairman Luo of Gathering Sift. Please follow me.¡± With that, he led the two of them onto the red carpet. Both sides of the door were blocked by reporters and camera men, leaving only the width of the red carpet in the middle. There was actually no need for anyone to lead the way. However, this forum gathering was famous so in order to prevent some people from taking advantage of the situation, everyone who walked on the red carpet was received by someone. It could also be considered a signal to the reporters on both sides to tell them who they could film and who they did not have to film. The reporters waited on both sides. They were originally a little bored. There had only been a few big shots on the Internet in the past few years after all. Moreover, most of them were relatively low-profile. No one would recognize them on the front page of the news. It made no difference whether they reported it or not. They waited for a long time, but there were not many photos with any real news effect. ¡°This year is the same as last year. There¡¯s nothing new to see¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to write anything even if there¡¯s some dirt, okay? Who would dare to provoke those people inside!¡± The reporters were so bored that they chatted. They were also very helpless against the big shots inside. Those people were different from entertainment celebrities. They did not need so much exposure, so they would not spoil the reporters. Anyone who dared to add fuel to the fire would only attract a lesson from the big shot. However, not daring to write randomly meant that there was nothing explosive. No one would pay attention to it. Two unfamiliar faces appeared on the red carpet just as everyone was idling. ¡°Who are these two?¡± someone asked. ¡°Freeloaders on the red carpet?¡± ¡°But they have a reception.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya walked onto the red carpet. The two of them held hands and did not pay attention to the cameras on both sides. They only focused on the road under their feet, as if they were walking normally. ¡°Which entertainment company nurtured these two newbies?¡± ¡°It seems like it Is there any new persona popular recently?¡± Based on their experience, the reporters guessed that the two overly good-looking young people were celebrities. The two of them could be said to be quite eye-catching among the group of average-looking middle-aged Internet big shots. The reporters unanimously thought that the two of them had gone the wrong way, but the cameras in their hands still shot at the two of them tacitly. The click rate would definitely increase if these two people were on the cover after all! ¡°Wait! If they are led by a reception staff, it proves that they were also invited. They are entrepreneurs in the Internet field!¡± A reporter put down the camera. If they were also entrepreneurs, they would be people whom they could not afford to offend. They had to be more cautious reporting about them. ¡°So who are they exactly?¡± Another person asked. They really did not dare to casually write about them if they did not know the details. In the end, a well-connected reporter asked the name of the person who came from the official staff of the organizer. The news instantly spread to everyone¡¯s ears like a rocket. ¡°The owner of Gather Sift Takeaway? Oh my god! The one that went against Amazon?¡± ¡°So it¡¯s him! No one said that the boss is so young!¡± ¡°F*ck! I missed a good theme!¡± The reporters¡¯ discussion gradually increased. The subsidy battle between Gather Sift Takeaway and Are You Hungry had occupied the front page for a long time after all. Some reporters had changed their targets to follow these newbies. Analyzing the strength of two companies, their backgrounds, and the development prospects of two companies, it could be said that he understood the company better than internal employees. Everyone grabbed the main points and went to the boss. Perhaps it was because Amazon being at a disadvantage was too shocking, so they ignored the young handsome boss of Gathering Sift. ¡°So the legendary Luo Feng looks like this! Quick, take a photo!¡± ¡°This angle is amazing! I have the cover!¡± ¡°Wow! His female companion is also so beautiful. Take two more photos!¡± For a moment, flashing lights lit up at the same time, and the clicking sound of the shutter was like a machine gun. Even the reception staff could not take it. His eyes were about to see stars and almost could not see the way clearly. He could only quicken his pace with Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. Bezos arrived a little later. When the reception staff saw him, they did not even need to ask for an invitation and directly led him onto the red carpet. Bezos smiled and straightened his tie. He walked forward with one hand in his pocket, thinking that he was very handsome. He was the boss that domestic Internet companies and the media were most familiar with. He had participated in countless press conferences and speeches before this. Exposure was beneficial to increasing the company¡¯s reputation, so Bezos was better at dealing with the media than other bosses. He also paid more attention to maintaining the relationship with the media. The reporters loved to interview him because he liked to talk and was good at talking. Usually, the microphone would point at him the moment he appeared, and the camera could only accommodate him. However, today, Bezos realized that something was wrong. He had specially customized the latest suit this year for today. His entire body was exquisite to the point of his hair. He should attract everyone¡¯s attention when he steps on the red carpet. However, these reporters acted as if they did not see him. Their cameras were all aimed at the entrance of the venue. Bezos was a little speechless. Could it be that he was out of date so quickly? That shouldn¡¯t be the case. Who in the Internet domain was better at giving interviews than him? He was a little curious. Who was so attractive? Bezos stopped and narrowed his eyes at the door. Then, he saw Luo Feng! That face left a rather bad impression on Bezos, especially when he smiled harmlessly. Bezos¡¯ expression instantly turned ugly. Bezos would not have been so straightforward if it was anyone else. However, ever since the subsidy began, Luo Feng¡¯s name had been pestering Bezos like a nightmare. It was really annoying! It was not that their Amazon had never experienced setbacks and failures. On the contrary, it was precisely because they had overcome countless difficulties that the Amazon had its current glory. However, he did not expect to fail miserably after being glorious until now. He was restrained by a new small company and could not break free for a long time. These reporters had caught this highlight ever since Amazon was at a disadvantage. External public opinion was quite disadvantageous towards Amazon. Moreover, Bezos was the one who decided to invest in Are You Hungry. The company¡¯s board of directors also criticized Bezos. He had wanted to take this opportunity to reverse the public opinion report. He did not expect to bump into his enemy on a narrow road here! Luo Feng snatched the limelight that originally belonged to Amazon the moment he arrived. Bezos really could not be happy! At this moment, a reporter finally noticed Bezos and blurted out excitedly, ¡°Look! It¡¯s Mr. Bezos!¡± Chapter 263 - 263 Giving A Speech On The Stage, A Great Opportunity! 263 Giving A Speech On The Stage, A Great Opportunity! ¡°Look! It¡¯s Mr. Bezos!¡± A reporter shouted in surprise. Bezos immediately revealed a business fake smile and threw all his unhappiness about Luo Feng to the back of his mind. He raised his hand and greeted the reporter who took the photo. ¡°Quickly take a photo! Amazon and Gathering Sift, put his and Luo Feng¡¯s photos together. What good news material!¡± The reporter added. The corners of Bezos¡¯ mouth twitched when he heard this, and his face almost fell again. ¡°Mr. Bezos, please look at the camera!¡± ¡°Yes, yes! It¡¯s just right to put them together!¡± The reporters regained their enthusiasm and snapped photos of Bezos. The Effect was indeed the effect Bezos had hoped for, but he did not want to cooperate at all! Especially when he heard Luo Feng¡¯s name, he felt like they were enemies who could not get along! Luo Feng, who had already arrived at the door, did not know that Bezos was behind him. Moreover, he had been severely injured by the reporters. Ai Tingya and him walked into the venue and bade farewell to the reception on the red carpet. Luo Feng looked at the seating arrangement according to the level. The front row was reserved for big shots of huge companies like Penguin or Amazon. What surprised him was that their seats were not at the back. Instead, they were behind Bezos. He did not know if the organizer was deliberately stirring up trouble or if they valued Gather Sift Takeaway too much Luo Feng did not care. He was only here to give the officials face and bring Ai Tingya along to be a bystander. At the same time, he could be the atmosphere group of the forum and be a free clapping machine. Actually, it didn¡¯t matter where he sat. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Luo Feng brought Ai Tingya to a seat with his name written on it and sat down, quietly waiting for the forum to begin. Just as Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were scratching their fingers in boredom, an employee at the venue suddenly walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side. ¡°Chairman Luo, I¡¯m sorry. Our leader wants to ask you for a small favor.¡± Luo Feng was stunned. He followed the employee¡¯s gaze and saw a big shot sitting in the first row turning around and smiling at him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng sat up straight. ¡°It¡¯s just that one of our guest speakers had a small accident and couldn¡¯t attend at the last minute.¡± The employee explained, ¡°Our leader hopes that you can help give a speech.¡± Luo Feng blinked. ¡°Why me?¡± There was no lack of famous Internet big shots at the scene. Luo Feng was indeed not comparable to them. ¡°You¡¯re the only university student who has started a business. You¡¯re very representative of a group.¡± The employee was straightforward, afraid that Luo Feng would not agree. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. I understand.¡± Luo Feng agreed. He could understand the intention of the organizer. At the very least, he was a university student going on stage to give a speech. Wasn¡¯t there something to watch? Moreover, it was very boring to just sit around since he was already here. After the employee left, Luo Feng was very calm and began to discuss the taste of the layout with Ai Tingya. He did not realize that the man sitting beside him was very uneasy. His butt seemed to be sitting on a nail, swaying left and right. He could not calm down no matter what. He had heard it clearly when the employee came to look for Luo Feng just now. Especially when he saw the big shot take the initiative to smile at Luo Feng, he could no longer remain calm. He secretly observed Luo Feng, his eyes filled with curiosity and envy. His gaze was too hot. Luo Feng still felt it even though he was focused on Ai Tingya. Luo Feng could not turn a blind eye even if he wanted to. He turned around and looked at the other party, his puzzled eyes meeting the other party¡¯s passionate gaze. The person realized that he had been too obvious. He touched the back of his neck and said awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I just heard you say that you¡¯re going up to give a speech¡± There was a hint of helplessness and disdain in his tone. When the big brother beside him heard this, a complicated expression flashed across his face. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s a rare opportunity to give a speech on stage on such an occasion. You should cherish it.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Luo Feng really did not think so. The person could not help but explain seeing that he did not know his stuff. ¡°You must have heard that the country has valued our forum very much in the past two years. Look, the people who came today are all big leaders. They are all big shots in charge of the Internet!¡± Big Brother seemed to be pointing at a large area. ¡°If you can leave a good impression on everyone when you go up, the road in the future will be at least twice as smooth!¡± Big Brother¡¯s tone was filled with envy. If possible, he really wanted to go on stage on behalf of Luo Feng. Luo Feng nodded to express his understanding. These big leaders could affect the trend of an industry with just a word. Otherwise, why would the reporters outside would have listened obediently and cooperated. This was also the reason why many low-profile big shots had to attend. In the end, they had given the other party face. If they cooperated, everyone would look good. Just as this big brother had described, Luo Feng should cherish this opportunity. Moreover, being able to choose him was almost as lucky as winning the lottery. There were very few university students who could enter the venue after all. It was even rarer to encounter university students who had the chance to go on stage. Luo Feng smiled calmly. ¡°This is my first time here. There are many things I don¡¯t know very well.¡± When the big brother beside him heard him say this, he could not help but continue. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve been here three times and I¡¯m very familiar with it. If you don¡¯t understand anything, just ask me. I¡¯ll definitely explain it to you clearly.¡± This Big Brother was very enthusiastic and might also want to build a good relationship with Luo Feng. ¡°For example, they are particular about who goes on stage first,¡± Big Brother said. ¡°Look at the first leader who spoke. He must be a big leader! You have to listen carefully to his words!¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be particular about?¡± ¡°Brother, of course to set the tone.¡± Big Brother was very experienced. ¡°Only the main celebrities of the forum can speak after the official comments. It can be seen how important the first person up the stage is.¡± Luo Feng nodded, feeling that the tricks inside were quite interesting. As the two of them chatted, the forum began. The big leader who was emphasized by his big brother walked onto the stage. He was thin and not tall, but his eyes were bright and he looked very energetic. They only spoke for about 10 minutes, each word naming the main point without any nonsense. Everyone at the venue listened very seriously. The organizer went on stage after he spoke. There were a few leaders who spoke at different levels. However, Luo Feng felt like he was sleeping. They were all common principles, no matter how important it was, it could not help but be dry. Luo Feng could not remember how many people had gone on stage. He only felt a shadow flash in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw Bezos walk to the stage and pick up the microphone. Wasn¡¯t this an old acquaintance? Luo Feng was interested in his speech. ¡°That¡¯s Mr. Bezos, the most famous big shot in the past two years.¡± His big brother explained competently like a narrator. ¡°You must have heard of him.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard more than heard about him,¡± Luo Feng said with a chuckle. Chapter 264 - 264 Bezos’ Counterattack Means Something! 264 Bezos¡¯ Counterattack Means Something! Big Brother said in an envious tone, ¡°Bezos is the most valued by the higher-ups in our circle.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Tencent should receive the same treatment if that¡¯s the case.¡± ¡°That¡¯s different!¡± Big Brother analyzed it very professionally. ¡°Think about it. What is Amazon¡¯s scope and what is Tencent¡¯s scope? Their influence on the country will definitely be different, and the level of importance will also be different.¡± Luo Feng thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. Amazon was mainly in the e-commerce field, while Tencent developed online virtual industries like social media, videos, and games. It seemed that the influence of the two families was not much different. However, the virtual network was built on the physical economy. To the higher-ups of the country, manufacturing was the foundation of the country. E-commerce was beneficial to the development of manufacturing and promoted the economy, so it would definitely be more biased towards Amazon. Therefore, over the years, Tencent¡¯s boss was still inferior to Bezos even though it had developed vigorously. On the other hand, it was also because the games developed by Tencent had always been very controversial among the higher-ups. Many of the higher-ups expressed their dissatisfaction, which forced the boss of Tencent to keep a low profile. He was afraid that he would be targeted by the higher-ups if he floated. Bezos was different. His development was quite smooth when it came to policy. He had always been an unstoppable existence until he encountered a wall with Luo Feng. Luo Feng suddenly remembered as he listened to his big brother describe Bezos¡¯ background vividly. In his previous life, the country had opened many convenient doors for Bezos for the development of Amazon. Bezos would not be able to fight with the banks for profits even if he worked hard for another 20 years without the help of the higher-ups. However, in his previous life, Bezos had probably become arrogant and felt that he was confident enough and wanted to create a financial innovation. It was equivalent to going against the will of the higher-ups. In the end, he was ¡°educated¡± and did not dare to make a sound. During that period of time, Bezos, who was glorious in front of the camera, had also kept a low profile. As a result, Luo Feng did not hear from him for a long time. No matter how public opinion evaluated Bezos at that time, Luo Feng felt that he was a powerful person. At the very least, that smooth talking in front of the camera was enough for many people to learn from for the rest of their lives. Just like this, Bezos, who was standing on the stage, made the people below the stage laugh with a few words. The atmosphere of the venue became cheerful. Bezos was also full of smiles. When the laughter below subsided, he continued, ¡°Amazon has also achieved minor results in the past year. There are more than 400 million Amazon registered users, which means that one in five people in the country is using Amazon to shop.¡± ¡°Our online transactions exceeded 1.94 billion yuan on the day of the shopping street! The number of goods transacted online exceeded 800 million. It¡¯s four times more than last year!¡± On the big screen, real data was displayed one after another. Even though the current Amazon had yet to reach the peak of Luo Feng¡¯s memory, this result was still second to none on the domestic Internet! The big brother beside him said sourly, ¡°Showing off too obviously!¡± Big Brother was not in the e-commerce industry, but someone in charge of Internet security. He did pretty well too, so he was invited here. However, when he saw Amazon¡¯s proud results and imagined the immeasurable benefits behind them, Big Brother expressed his jealousy. Luo Feng patted his shoulder. ¡°Big Brother, don¡¯t be fooled by Amazon¡¯s current glory. Perhaps in a few years¡± ¡°Will it go bankrupt?¡± Big Brother said in surprise. ¡± Perhaps you¡¯ll get used to it in a few years if they develop even better,¡± Luo Feng said sincerely. ¡°Time can heal everything after all.¡± Big Brother rolled his eyes at Luo Feng speechlessly, thanking him for his special way of comforting him. They were no longer interested in chatting. The two of them focused on listening to the comments on the stage. Bezos spoke frankly, highlighting the recent development of Amazon. He had almost finished talking, but he had no intention of going down. Instead, he raised the microphone and was silent for some reason. ¡°Actually, the speech I prepared this time is almost over. However, after thinking about it carefully, I still have a few words I want to tell everyone, so I¡¯ll delay your time for a few more minutes.¡± Bezos¡¯ sudden statement caused a commotion below. The speeches of the people on stage were all reviewed on such an occasion after all. Everyone was surprised that he suddenly wanted to give an off-script speech. It was obvious that something was about to happen! Especially the reporters squeezed in the back row. They smelt news. ¡°Camera ready! Record whatever Bezos says!¡± Some sharp reporters had already begun to get excited. Luo Feng listened to the commotion around him and looked seriously at the stage. He vaguely felt that Bezos seemed to have glanced at him. He had a feeling that this matter seemed to be related to him. Ai Tingya also sensed Bezos¡¯ gaze and said uneasily, ¡°Why do I feel like he¡¯s looking at you?¡± Luo Feng did not say anything and looked straight at the stage. Bezos took a deep breath and said, ¡°What I want to say is about the healthy development of our Internet company. I think the creators of the Internet should use services and create social value to obtain the market, not take a shortcut and rely on short-term methods like burning money subsidies to win over people¡¯s hearts.¡± ¡°Especially individual companies! I want to tell them that such a market is unhealthy and can¡¯t continue to develop!¡± Bezos emphasized on ¡°individual companies¡±. Anyone with ears could understand what he meant. As expected, the audience exploded before he could finish speaking! The reporters in the back row were the first to react. They couldn¡¯t care less who was standing in front of them. They raised their microphones and squeezed forward, afraid that they would be snatched away if they were a step slower. ¡°Who are you referring to, Mr. Bezos?¡± ¡°You¡¯re referring to Gather Sift Takeaway, right? Please answer?¡± ¡°You have exclusive information? Do you want to say that Gather Sift Takeaway is competing unfairly?¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of the others converged on the boss of the Gathering Sift, Luo Feng. Being targeted by Bezos was not good news for a new company. Many people who had heard of the dispute between Gather Sift Takeaway and Are You Hungry had smiles in their eyes. Internet entrepreneurs were considered young compared to traditional entrepreneurs but Luo Feng was simply too young! Fame can be a double-edged sword. Many people felt that Luo Feng¡¯s face was too handsome and incompatible with the surrounding style. He was like an idol celebrity visiting a middle-aged man¡¯s gathering. In addition, Gather Sift Takeaway had been in the limelight for the past two months. Many people would probably like to see young people¡¯s spirits dampened. Chapter 265 - 265 Taking Sides, Targeted By Amazon! 265 Taking Sides, Targeted By Amazon! In the front row, the boss of Tencent was also looking at Luo Feng. The executive at the side laughed in confusion and asked, ¡°Boss, what is Bezos doing? Why do I feel that¡± ¡°He¡¯s making a mountain out of a molehill?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°So much?¡± The executive was dumbfounded. The boss of Tencent not only wanted to see Luo Feng make a fool of himself, he also wanted to see Bezos make a fool of himself. ¡°After spending so much money, Are You Hungry is still being suppressed by Gather Sift Takeaway. Bezos did this because he doesn¡¯t want to continue burning money. Why else?¡± He said disdainfully. There was a hint of gloating in his voice. Even though Amazon made a lot of money, they also used a lot of money. Even though most of Are You Hungry¡¯s shares were in the hands of Amazon and could not create profits, they were like a quagmire, causing the main company to sink deeper and deeper. If this could work, the higher-ups of Amazon could still accept it. However, the higher-ups would definitely put pressure on Bezos if so much money was spent but they could not suppress a young company that just started up. Bezos could not take it anymore. He did not want to admit defeat or continue burning money. He might as well scheme against Luo Feng so that everyone could be free! ¡°Just because of this?¡± The Tencent executive felt that something was missing. ¡°Of course it¡¯s more than that,¡± the boss of Tencent said disdainfully. ¡°Can¡¯t you tell that he¡¯s complaining?¡± As a new company, Gather Sift Takeaway would not be able to walk far in the future if it was hated by the higher-ups. Bezos was not someone who complained casually. Everything he said had his own motives. With his current status, if he so bluntly named a new company, be it the officials or the rest of the industry, they would more or less be affected. This effect did not seem to hurt much at the moment. However, there was still a question mark as to whether Gather Sift Takeaway would be isolated. There was a big leader from the Capital sitting only three people away from the boss of Tencent. He listened to the discussion around him and subconsciously frowned. ¡°Have I heard of this Gather Sift Takeaway?¡± He asked the secretary beside him. The secretary nodded and said, ¡°You just expressed your intention to let the Chairman of Gather Sift Takeaway speak on stage. It has been conveyed.¡± The big leader¡¯s expression immediately became awkward. If Luo Feng went up to speak again after Bezos finished speaking, it would turn into rubbing fire. Something was clearly going to happen. ¡°Why don¡¯t we ask Luo Feng not to go on stage?¡± The big leader asked the secretary, already having an answer in his heart. Luo Feng was young, so he must be ambitious. He would definitely lose control and say something inappropriate if he went up and was scolded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll convey it immediately!¡± The secretary was about to get up when the big leader grabbed her. ¡°No, you¡¯ll still be criticized by others if you go like this.¡± She was a person beside a big leader after all. There were not many people who did not know him at the scene. The secretary¡¯s actions held the big leader¡¯s intentions. If he went to pass a message to Luo Feng when he was at the center of the storm, news would spread even if he had nothing to do. ¡°Then I¡¯ll find someone¡± ¡°Forget it.¡± The big leader pondered for a moment and said, ¡°I remember that Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s reputation seems to be very good¡± ¡°Indeed. In fact¡± It really far exceeded Are You Hungry. ¡°Then forget it. Let him go up. Let¡¯s not be so pedantic. We have to listen to the opinions of the young too.¡± The big leader thought about Luo Feng¡¯s identity as a university student. These children were all the pillars of the future country. He could not favor one over the other. When the secretary heard this, she could not help but turn around to look at Luo Feng with surprise. The leader seemed to be taking an impartial approach on this matter, but in terms of strength and status, he was clearly biased towards Luo Feng. He did not know who took a fancy to the Chairman of Gather Sift Takeaway. He had developed so smoothly at such a young age. On the stage, Bezos bragged and kept using examples to prove his point, trying to make everyone stand on his side. Bezos became more and more excited as he spoke, probably because he was giving an off-script speech with some emotions that he had accumulated for a long time. ¡°Actually, I can understand the young people. They don¡¯t know what it means to fight steadily. It¡¯s a good thing to be young and energetic, but you can¡¯t be too anxious for quick success. It¡¯s not so simple to do things on the Internet. You still need to settle down more.¡± How many young people could there be here? Bezos was just short of naming Luo Feng¡¯s name. Luo Feng sat in his original position and looked at the stage calmly, as if he was watching a boring art performance. As if Bezos¡¯ words did not seem to have anything to do with him. Ai Tingya held Luo Feng¡¯s hand tightly under the table as Bezos went overboard. Her palms were sweating and she tightened her grip. She lowered her head and did not dare to look around. The big brother beside Luo Feng sighed. ¡°This young man is too unlucky to have offended Bezos. Who do you think is so¡± He turned to look at Luo Feng and realized that the little brother beside him seemed to be very young. Luo Feng chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s most likely me.¡± ¡°¡± Big Brother was instantly petrified. His mouth fell open in disbelief. ¡°No way, you¡± Luo Feng smiled and nodded. ¡°Bezos is talking about me.¡± Big Brother did not speak for a long time. After holding it in for a while, he only sighed sympathetically. He looked at Luo Feng pitifully and suddenly patted his shoulder. ¡°Big Brother, don¡¯t blame me for being disloyal.¡± Then, Big Brother moved the chair under him and drew a line with Luo Feng, looking like he did not know him. The corners of Luo Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. F*ck, his attitude changed too quickly! Only then did he understand what Bezos represented. Even though the Internet was currently blooming with hundreds of flowers and was not in a state of dividing the world, this trend was gradually showing. Not long after, the Internet company would be divided between Tencent and Amazon. This big brother was clearly on Amazon¡¯s side. ¡°Why would I object to excessive subsidies? It¡¯s very simple. The main thing is that the wool comes from the sheep. The current subsidies are just for future exploitation! This money will be recovered from the consumers!¡± Bezos said righteously. He looked like he was begging to clear his name. As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng clearly felt Ai Tingya tremble. He turned his head and saw that Ai Tingya¡¯s face was pale and ugly. She was clearly frightened. Ai Tingya was not the only one. At this moment, the audience was silent. The venue was so quiet that no one made a sound, leaving only the shutter flickering. This time, Bezos chose to use the consumer as a gimmick to show that he was standing with the consumer and occupying the moral high ground. His lethality was quite high. When the big leader in the front row heard his words, he frowned again. He silently turned around and looked at Luo Feng again, making some plans in his heart. Chapter 266 - 266 Admitting Mistake! Counterattack On The Spot! 266 Admitting Mistake! Counterattack On The Spot! The big leader knew better than anyone else that the subsidy war was an unprecedented existence in the country. Moreover, it was easier for the Internet industry to form a monopoly than other areas. It was true that Bezos had selfish motives, but what he said was the truth. Even if Bezos¡¯ words were only 30% true, the big leader¡¯s opinion of Gather Sift Takeaway would be a little more conservative. Almost all the gazes in the venue were focused on Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng did not seem to see it. When the big brother sitting beside him saw this, he could not help but sigh. He raised his hand to cover half of his face and said in a voice that only he and Luo Feng could hear, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s useless for you to say anything now¡± A careless word may reveal much to an attentive listener, not to mention that Bezos had deliberately said it to everyone present. How could a person prove his innocence and explain himself after falling into a self-proving trap? This matter was similar to helping an old lady. It was like a person who had been hit asking the person who had helped him. ¡°Why would you help me if you weren¡¯t the one who hit me?¡± What could Luo Feng do? He could not leave or stay. He could only suffer silently. However, this was probably a huge blow to Gather Sift Takeaway. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you afraid of me?¡± Luo Feng turned to look at his big brother. ¡°I¡± Big Brother lowered his head and whispered, ¡°I just can¡¯t stand it.¡± It was mainly because Bezos was clearly bullying him. He used his influence to suppress his competitors, wanting to give Luo Feng a heavy blow in terms of public opinion and destroy Luo Feng¡¯s image in the leader¡¯s heart. His words were too explosive. The reporters at the scene took photos of Bezos. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have delayed everyone¡¯s time.¡± Bezos finished speaking his thoughts and walked off the stage in high spirits, returning to his previous seat. Of course, he knew better than anyone how much the words just now had dealt a blow to Luo Feng. Bezos did not care even though the last few sentences would definitely offend many people. Bezos would deal with whoever blocked his way on the takeaway path! In his opinion, the e-commerce business was moving offline to the online world. Currently, the online world was developing very well, but it was impossible for the online world to leave the real economy. In the later stages, he would definitely go deeper offline. Takeaway was the first step! Therefore, Bezos valued takeaway more than anyone had expected. He would do anything in order to win the takeaway market! ¡°Next, let¡¯s welcome¡± The host walked the process on stage. However, no one listened attentively after Bezos¡¯ speech. The remaining people would only say some polite words compared to Bezos¡¯ targeted comments. It was not attractive at all, simply boring. Three to four people went up in a row, but they all went up the stage calmly. The audience yawned and clapped. Their absent-minded expressions were on their faces as they analyzed Bezos¡¯ comments. Until someone went on stage and pushed the atmosphere of the venue to a climax. ¡°Next, let¡¯s welcome the university student representative, Mr. Luo Feng, to give a speech on stage!¡± The host read out an unexpected name. Everyone below the stage was instantly in high spirits. Their necks and ears stretched out in the same direction. They did not expect Luo Feng to have a chance to speak! Even Tencent¡¯s boss, who was purely watching the show, was interested and looked like he was watching a good show. Like the others, he only had one thought in his heart: Fight! Facing everyone¡¯s gazes, Luo Feng calmly went on stage. All the cameras were raised at the same time, and the flashbulb went on. The reporters in the back row were even more excited. ¡± Didn¡¯t you just say that Bezos is funny?¡± The cameraman beside him complained ruthlessly. In this day and age, looks are justice. A few minutes ago, the female reporter was thanking Bezos for taking the initiative to send her the news topic. ¡°What do you know? I know how to read people!¡± The female reporter looked at Luo Feng infatuatedly. ¡°It¡¯s obvious that the handsome man is a kind person!¡± ¡°Whatever you say.¡± The cameraman didn¡¯t know where to start. Bezos¡¯ eyes widened when the flashbulb lit up. He did not expect Luo Feng to be qualified to go on stage. Moreover, he did not know if it was his imagination, but when Luo Feng went on stage, he seemed to have looked over a few times. The smile in his eyes made Bezos have an ominous feeling. He felt that something was going to happen ¡°Hello, everyone. My name is Luo Feng. I¡¯m a university student,¡± Luo Feng said unhurriedly. ¡°I¡¯m honored to have this opportunity to speak. Everyone here are big seniors. To be honest, I¡¯m a little terrified.¡± He appeared very humble and was not as impatient as everyone had expected. The big leader was very satisfied with Luo Feng¡¯s performance and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not a troublemaker and was so sensible that the current situation would most likely not develop in a bad direction. ¡°I¡¯ve benefited a lot especially after hearing Mr. Bezos¡¯ words just now. Here, I want to sincerely apologize to Mr. Bezos.¡± Luo Feng smiled harmlessly. The people waiting to watch the show below the stage were expressionless. The verbal sparring they were looking forward to was most likely hopeless since he had lowered his stance so much. Everyone did not hide their disappointment. Seeing that Luo Feng¡¯s speech was getting more and more boring, they prepared to daydream and become emotionless malfunctioning machines. Luo Feng was a total newbie. The only person who had interacted with him was Bezos. With his understanding of Luo Feng, he vaguely felt that there was definitely a conspiracy behind this smile! On the stage, Luo Feng continued, ¡°There are three reasons as to why I have to apologize to Mr. Bezos.¡± ¡°Firstly, I didn¡¯t know what was good for me when I rejected Mr. Bezos¡¯ investment back then. Secondly, I¡¯m shameless for plagiarizing Are You Hungry¡¯s idea of the subsidy. Thirdly, forget my stance as a newbie and doing better than Are You Hungry in the subsidy war. I don¡¯t know how to preserve the pride of the senior veteran!¡± ¡°Therefore, Mr. Bezos, it¡¯s all my fault. I hope my apologies can be conveyed to you!¡± With that, Luo Feng bowed deeply to Bezos for five seconds before standing up. The audience was silent. Many people were so frightened by Luo Feng¡¯s bold words that they could not speak. It was too strong! Bezos was so frightened that he almost dropped off from his seat. His face was even redder than a bride¡¯s. Especially the moment Luo Feng bent down, he could feel his apology at all. Instead, it felt like he was going to send him away. Was this bidding farewell to his corpse? Don¡¯t be too ridiculous! The secretary beside the big leader also broke out in cold sweat. Every word that came out of Luo Feng¡¯s mouth were blades stabbing at Bezos. He did not look like a cautious university student at all! He was clearly causing trouble! Every word was filled with mockery! The three reasons were like three big slaps, firmly slapping Bezos¡¯ face! Did he not want to survive anymore?! Chapter 267 - 267 Proposing The Food Delivery Convention, Will You Follow Them? 267 Proposing The Food Delivery Convention, Will You Follow Them? Luo Feng had made his private conversation with Bezos public. Bezos said so many dignified words on the stage, like he was giving advice to the young people, but he actually hated Luo Feng for refusing his investment. And his fury after being incompetent after being crushed by Gathering Sift. The reason behind it was despicable. ¡°This Luo Feng is still too young¡± The secretary held his forehead. ¡°In the end, he can¡¯t hold it in anymore and doesn¡¯t care about the big picture.¡± From the looks of it, what Bezos said made sense. The leader at the side was expressionless. ¡°Arrogance makes the young. We should have thought of this.¡± There seemed to be some understanding in his words. The people below the stage whispered. Even though they were watching the show, no one dared to look at Bezos¡¯ expression. They were mainly afraid that they would be implicated. Luo Feng¡¯s words were ten times more straightforward than Bezos¡¯. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not really fall out with him in front of everyone at such an important occasion even if they felt aggrieved at being targeted by the Chairman of Amazon. However, Luo Feng really did so! Moreover, Bezos was speechless. He could only grit his teeth. It was a rare exciting scene! Seeing the atmosphere in the venue become lively, Luo Feng continued to add insult to injury. ¡°I benefited greatly from Mr. Bezos¡¯ words about how subsidies harm consumers!¡± ¡°I am inspired to make a convention for the takeaway platform industry while the leader is still present.¡± ¡°¡± Bezos¡¯ anger had yet to subside when Luo Feng gave him a new problem! He stared blankly at Luo Feng on the stage, and the ominous feeling intensified. Luo Feng said calmly, ¡°I think that according to Mr. Bezos, the platform needs to be restricted. If there are no rules and regulations, it will only become a vampire that exploits consumers, merchants, and delivery men!¡± ¡°Therefore, I have two suggestions. First, is what our Gather Sift Takeaway is doing. We¡¯ve signed labor contracts with all our delivery men and paid insurance for all of them!¡± ¡°Secondly! Our Gather Sift Takeaway promises that the profits of the takeaway platform will be controlled to within 0.5%. The excess income will be used to increase the experience of merchants and consumers!¡± ¡°Once again, I hope everyone can bear witness. I also sincerely invite Mr. Bezos to lead Are You Hungry to sign the industry convention with us!¡± The venue was silent as soon as he finished speaking. Everyone looked at Luo Feng as if they were looking at a fool. Especially Bezos. He looked at Luo Feng, who looked at him and actually smiled! It was as if he was saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go underwater together!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s move did not leave Bezos with a way out at all! Bezos could not imagine how the platforms could be profitable according to Luo Feng¡¯s actions! Didn¡¯t research and development need money? Didn¡¯t it need money to operate? What was the difference between a 0.5% profit and giving it away for free! However, he was the one who started the conversation and said that he had to think from the perspective of a consumer. Luo Feng¡¯s words were like roasting him on a fire. At this moment, the leader, who had been looking uncertain, suddenly smiled. ¡°This Luo Feng is not bad.¡± What was 0.5% profit? Assuming that Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s annual turnover was 100 billion yuan, that year¡¯s net profit was about 500 million yuan. Currently, Gather Sift Takeaway had already spent a billion yuan to subsidize the war. It would take more than three years to recover this money, not to mention the other costs. However, in the current market, it was very difficult for two take-out companies to have a yearly turnover of 100 billion yuan, let alone 10 billion yuan. This was because both companies were in the middle of expansion. Other than the headquarters city at the beginning, the other markets were running at a loss. It was obvious that they did not expect to make a profit in five years, let alone three years. The reason why Bezos invested in Are You Hungry was to do business to earn money, not to do charity. Now that Luo Feng had created a baffling industry convention, wasn¡¯t it cutting off his source of income?! There was something Bezos could not figure out. The worst thing was that Bezos had no choice but to jump into it even though he knew that it was a trap in front of him! He was the one who first said that he had to consider the consumers after all. Who would have thought that Luo Feng would fight to the death! He wanted to flip the chessboard! Luo Feng was secretly delighted looking at Bezos¡¯ face that was so conflicted that he was sweating. The reason why he was so unyielding was because he had cash flow behind him. Luo Feng did not expect to have the companies under him to earn money at all after all. Instead, he hoped that the company would burn more money. ¡°Mr. Bezos, what do you think of my suggestion?¡± Luo Feng asked with a smile. Bezos glared at him, not wanting to talk to Luo Feng. He regretted provoking Luo Feng Wasn¡¯t this clearly a lunatic?! Otherwise, who would insist on losing money? Luo Feng did not need Mr Bezos to confirm his stance. Seeing that Bezos was silent, he retracted his gaze and said to everyone, ¡°It seems that Mr. Bezos is not interested in my suggestion. But it¡¯s fine. My Gather Sift Takeaway will follow the plan completely in the future. Everyone here, please bear witness.¡± The people below the stage did not react. They did not know how to react. They felt that Luo Feng was a real ruthless person and really went all out. No one had seen Bezos suffer ever since the rise of the Amazon. He did not dare to speak now. It was obvious that he was afraid. When Luo Feng returned to his seat, the big brother beside him moved his stool closer to him. He gave him a thumbs up. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re awesome! I¡¯ve never admired anyone in my life. You¡¯re the first!¡± This big brother was really a passionate person, making Luo Feng feel a little awkward. Ai Tingya covered her mouth and laughed. The fear from before dissipated. She looked at Luo Feng with a little pride and could not stop laughing. She was not someone who looked up on money. She had enough money so she approved of Luo Feng¡¯s decision with all her might. While the two of them looked at each other and smiled, another person stood on the stage. It was another ordinary conversation, and the people below yawned. This time, the explosive points were all given by Luo Feng and Bezos. The reporters at the scene were extremely impatient listening to the later speeches and wished they could go back and write their manuscripts immediately. Just as the speech was about to end. A young man walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side and whispered into his ear, ¡°Chairman Luo, our leader wants to see you. Please don¡¯t leave after the event.¡± Hearing this, Luo Feng wanted to ask more, but the person had already left when he turned around. The big brother beside him saw everything very clearly and smiled. ¡°Brother, I admire you so much! You¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡± Big Brother lowered his voice mysteriously. ¡°That was the secretary beside the big leader just now! You¡¯re going to be rich!¡± Chapter 268 - 268 The World Is Too Small, Don’t You Want Preferential Treatment? 268 The World Is Too Small, Don¡¯t You Want Preferential Treatment? ¡°Brother, you¡¯re going to be rich!¡± The big brother looked at Luo Feng with admiration and chuckled. ¡°Tell me the truth, did you plan this?¡± This was not the first time Big Brother had been in the Internet field. Luo Feng¡¯s words on the stage were definitely not just to refute Bezos according to his inertial thinking. Wasn¡¯t his words for specific people to hear since he had now obtained the Great Leader¡¯s attention? The results also proved this. In Big Brother¡¯s eyes, the current Luo Feng could only be described as unfathomable! Actually, it was not only this Big Brother. Most of the people sitting here were smart. When they saw this scene, their thoughts were similar to that Big Brother¡¯s. ¡°It¡¯s all a coincidence.¡± Luo Feng was not prepared to explain anything. Let them think whatever they want. He still had many things to do and did not have time to explain them one by one. After the speech ended, everyone at the venue went to the next venue. There, they prepared almost all the information reports for everyone to exchange skills and ideas. Other than Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, the others left towards the crowd. The Boss of Tencent quickly took two steps forward and caught up to Bezos. He smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ve built the stage for the young.¡± Bezos¡¯ face turned green and he ignored the Boss of Tencent. His thoughts were the same. This time, Luo Feng had simply stepped on his face and gained the favor of the big leader! The secretary brought Luo Feng and Ai Tingya to the small meeting room on the second floor. The big leader did not put on any airs. His smile was very amiable. ¡°My surname is Yao. I¡¯ve heard of Chairman Luo¡¯s name for a long time. It¡¯s indeed as the legends say. Heroes emerge from the young!¡± Minister Yao reached out and shook Luo Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Luo Feng smiled. Originally, he thought that it was just a formality. He did not expect Minister Yao to say again, ¡°I¡¯ve really heard of you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looked at each other and did not prepare an answer in advance. Minister Yao turned from Luo Feng to Ai Tingya. ¡°In the past, I had a subordinate with the surname Ai. His father and I are good friends.¡± ¡°You know my grandfather?¡± Ai Tingya reacted. This meant that her father had once worked under Minister Yao. Luo Feng was stunned. Was this world too small or was Ai Tingya¡¯s family¡¯s network strong? They could have connections even from so far away. ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll call each other when we have nothing to do,¡± Minister Yao said kindly. ¡°He bragged to me that he had found his granddaughter awhile ago You look like your father.¡± Luo Feng blinked and finally believed that Minister Yao really knew Ai Zhaojiang. With this relationship, the atmosphere in the meeting room eased a lot. Minister Yao¡¯s gaze turned back to Luo Feng and he sighed. ¡°However, why didn¡¯t Old Ai mention anything about how his grandson-in-law has done such a great job at all?¡± He had heard Ai Zhaojiang mention Luo Feng¡¯s name once or twice, mainly because he was complaining. Minister Yao vaguely remembered that Ai Zhaojiang¡¯s granddaughter was already an adult, but Ai Zhaojiang acted like a parent who was troubled by her child¡¯s puppy love, so Minister Yao had never figured out how old Ai Tingya was. Therefore, when he saw Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s names on the list, he thought that it was a coincidence that they had the same name. However, Ai Tingya looked very similar to her father, so Minister Yao recognized her at a glance. Therefore, he paid more attention to the two of them. Minister Yao also had a grandson who was two years younger than Luo Feng. Their development progress was completely different. Thinking of this, Minister Yao was a little envious. ¡°Your speech just now was really exciting.¡± Minister Yao praised. Suddenly, his attitude changed. ¡°But it was too irrational. Do you really understand what kind of person Bezos is?¡± Luo Feng was stunned. Is Minister Yao educating him? ¡°It¡¯s true that young people are filled with vigor, but words are like spilled water, especially on stage. Someone has to be responsible for this!¡± Minister Yao said solemnly. ¡°You said that the platform¡¯s profits will not be more than 0.5%. There are so many reporters at the scene. They will keep an eye on you for the rest of their lives!¡± Luo Feng nodded, so Minister Yao was concerned about him. ¡°Minister Yao, don¡¯t worry. Since I dare to say it, I will definitely fulfill it.¡± Luo Feng was very serious. ¡°Aye?¡± This time, it was Minister Yao¡¯s turn to be speechless. Is this for real? Even the profits of current charitable organizations were higher than 0.5%. Luo Feng was actually not joking? ¡°From next month onwards, I¡¯ll get the finance department to publicize information every month. Everyone is welcome to scold me as long as it exceeds 0.5%.¡± ¡°Ha Hahaha, you young people are really bold.¡± Minister Yao felt Luo Feng¡¯s determination and looked at him even more gently. In the past, Luo Feng had told Xie Yan that they wanted to change the world. Actually, this was not just bragging. Takeout, as an emerging industry, provided employment while boosting consumption. Wages were also more incentive than entering a factory. Therefore, the country took this very seriously. As the boss, Luo Feng was willing to give the profits to his employees. Minister Yao wanted to see something like that too. He took the initiative to say, ¡°How about this? Go back and organize the information about Gather Sift Takeaway in the next two days. According to your conditions, you can apply for preferential treatment now.¡± Minister Yao thought very highly of Luo Feng and was willing to make things easy for him. Many people might not be able to obtain such preferential treatment even if they racked their brains. Luo Feng shook his head. ¡°Thank you for your kindness, but we don¡¯t need it for the time being.¡± He really did not care about these small matters. After all, he was about to get his cash back. The more he invested, the more he would gain. The preferential treatment would cause the company¡¯s cost to decrease. There was no need for Luo Feng to take advantage of him. ¡°Buying insurance for employees and paying taxes according to the rules is the essence of a qualified company. I should leave the opportunity to other companies that need it,¡± Luo Feng said. This was the first time someone had rejected Minister Yao in so many years. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly smiled. ¡°You¡¯re indeed different. How about this? I¡¯ll give you my number. Look for me directly if you need anything in the future.¡± The secretary¡¯s eyes widened slightly. One had to know that Minister Yao usually hated personal relationships with entrepreneurs because it was very troublesome once they needed anything. Now, he actually took the initiative to make an exception for Luo Feng! It was the Minister¡¯s guarantee after all. The weight of it could be imagined. ¡°Alright, I have other things to do, so I won¡¯t keep you.¡± After leaving the phone number, Minister Yao chuckled and sent the two of them off. He returned to the conference room and sighed with his hands behind his back. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m really a little jealous of Old Ai. Sigh¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± The secretary was puzzled. ¡°Actually, I have a granddaughter at home too.¡± ¡°Haha You¡¯re so humorous.¡± The secretary laughed dryly. So he liked this young man. Minister Yao laughed and added, ¡°By the way, don¡¯t forget to pass on the message to the people from the National TV channel to pay more attention to Gather Sift Takeaway.¡± The secretary¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°Isn¡¯t this A little risky?¡± Getting someone from the National TV channel to report on Gather Sift Takeaway would create a new trend in the country. This was an effect that no publicity could achieve. ¡°Contributing to the country and letting the people know about it. That there¡¯s nothing risky about this.¡± Minister Yao was very determined. Chapter 269 - 269 Mother Luo Calls, So Proud! 269 Mother Luo Calls, So Proud! A week has passed since the Internet Forum. Luo Feng sat in the office and worked overtime as usual. At this moment, Ai Tingya rushed in and jumped up excitedly. ¡°Luo Feng, Luo Feng, hurry up and watch television! You¡¯re on the news!¡± There was a television in Luo Feng¡¯s office. At that time, it was bought to decorate the wall. No one had turned it on before. Ai Tingya pressed the switch and changed to the National TV Channel. The host was introducing Gather Sift Takeaway on the screen. ¡°From what I know, the founder of Gather Sift Takeaway, Luo Feng, is still a university student. Moreover, he was once the top scholar of a certain province¡¯s college entrance examination.¡± ¡°Such good results were still maintained during university. What¡¯s more, he used his spare time to step out into society to establish a company. In just a year, Gather Sift Takeaway has become the largest takeaway platform in the country.¡± ¡°Next, I¡¯ve interviewed the people beside Luo Feng.¡± The scene changed. The reporter¡¯s background was the familiar Oxford University. The first person to interview was naturally Luo Feng¡¯s partnerXie Yan. His eyes blinked frequently, and his face was flushed and a little nervous. Xie Yan raised the microphone in front of him and stuttered, ¡°Making a takeaway platform was Luo Feng¡¯s idea. Ever since it was established, we¡¯ve been fighting for the same goal. As Luo Feng said, we¡¯ll work harder in the future¡± After interviewing Xie Yan, the second face surprised Luo Feng. Ai Zhaojiang stood in front of the camera with a dark expression. He did not really want to praise Luo Feng, let alone in front of the entire country¡¯s audience. However, the atmosphere had already reached this point. It would be a little difficult not to say a few words. ¡°Student Luo Feng¡¯s studies were outstanding during his school days and he¡¯s willing to help others. The Finance Faculty and the Mathematics Faculty all think very highly of him. I hope he won¡¯t forget his original intention and advance bravely¡± The reporters from the National TV Channel conducted the interview in detail. Other than Luo Feng¡¯s classmates and teachers, he also stopped two delivery men at the door for a random interview. It was to show the entire country the true side of Gather Sift Takeaway. Originally, the risk of a random interview was very high because Xie Yan, Ai Zhaojiang, and the others could prepare the interview manuscript in advance. It was normal for them to specially choose their words. The random interview was a test for both reporter and the interviewee. No one knew the interviewee¡¯s education level or ability to speak. Their on-site performance depended on luck. It was precisely because of this that it could show its most grounded, down to earth side. Of course, Gathering Sift delivery men were quite grateful to Luo Feng and praised him in their hearts. The time used to report on Luo Feng was only eight minutes. There were only praises for Luo Feng. Moreover, everyone did not say the same thing. After the news ended, there were many employees squeezed in front of Luo Feng¡¯s office. It was not that they had no place to watch the news, but being with the person involved was even livelier. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with excited smiles. They all knew how important the report on the National TV Channel was. It was not an exaggeration to say that this eight-minute report painted Luo Feng and the company in a good light. In the future, if Luo Feng had any achievement, this alone could instantly kill two-thirds of the other companies! ¡°Boss, you¡¯re awesome!¡± The employees felt honored and gave Luo Feng a thumbs up. Luo Feng¡¯s reaction was calm. After watching the news, he buried his head in his work. The company had so much work to do and they were all waiting for Luo Feng to resolve them one by one after all. He really did not have time to appreciate it. He wished he could spend 24 hours a day dealing with documents. Two days later, Mother Luo called. ¡°Little Feng! It¡¯s Mommy!¡± On the other end of the phone was a sticky sweet voice that Luo Feng had never heard before. It was very mushy. This was the first time Mother Luo had taken the initiative to call Luo Feng. She usually contacted Ai Tingya more often and completely let Luo Feng go. Luo Feng dared to bet that this was the gentlest call from his mother since he was born. He took his phone away and could not help but recite the phone number silently. It was indeed Mother Luo¡¯s. ¡°Answer me a question first. What did I leave for the school after the college entrance examination?¡± Luo Feng was worried that it was a scam and asked a secret guardian question first. ¡°Your glorious deeds?¡± Mother Luo replied cooperatively. ¡°You¡¯re not my mother,¡± Luo Feng retorted. ¡°What I left behind was clearly a bicycle.¡± ¡°How can I remember such a small matter?¡± Mother Luo said angrily. ¡°Rascal, you don¡¯t even recognize your mother, right?¡± Mother Luo¡¯s voice became thicker. Luo Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Wasn¡¯t this kind of imposing voice his familiar mother? ¡°Mom, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng went straight to the point. Speaking of this, Mother Luo¡¯s voice became sticky sweet again. She said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m just calling to care about you. Silly kid, why didn¡¯t you tell me you were on television?¡± ¡°I¡¯m too busy There¡¯s nothing much to say.¡± ¡°My silly son, what an honor this is! How can there be nothing to say? Let me tell you, the leader of our factory came to look for me personally today and praised me in front of my colleagues. I didn¡¯t know what happened.¡± Mother Luo complained. ¡°In the end, I was the last to know that you were on television.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. You¡¯ll definitely be glorious today. Are you happy?¡± Luo Feng coaxed. Mother Luo laughed continuously, her heart blooming with joy. She was in a state-owned old factory, and praises for their employees was a great honor to them. Even though Luo Feng was not an employee of the factory, he was still a descendant of an employee. His old house was distributed from the factory. They had also benefited from the news. ¡°You don¡¯t know? There¡¯s a banner at the entrance of our factory congratulating you on the news!¡± Luo Feng smiled. This kind of banner was really a social death. The only fortunate thing was that there were still a few months before the summer break. He hoped that the banner would have been taken down by then and everyone would have forgotten about this! Otherwise, he would have to leave his hometown! ¡°Little Feng, I¡¯m so proud of you.¡± Mother Luo couldn¡¯t stop laughing. ¡°Many people in our factory are asking me how I educated you. They¡¯re so envious!¡± Luo Feng listened to his mother¡¯s laughter, he realized belatedly that in the past, his mother would always add, ¡°Take care and rest more.¡± Perhaps because she had lived an ordinary life for half a lifetime, she seemed to be unable to experience what it meant to be more than a millionaire. This was because she would not be able to use more than two million in a lifetime with her spending habits. However, when Luo Feng appeared on the news of the National TV Channel, Mother Luo instantly understood. She knew that her son had made a name for himself! No wonder her tone was sticky at first. ¡°The factory manager even said that he wanted to promote me and asked me to go to the Women¡¯s Federation to teach parenting. Thanks to you, I¡¯ve been promoted!¡± Mother Luo was smug. When Luo Feng heard this, he could not help but worry about the factory manager¡¯s judgment. Are you serious? In her previous life, Mother Luo died of illness before she could retire. However, the factory she was in shut down permanently earlier than Mother Luo. Now, it seemed that there was a reason for it. Chapter 270 - 270 Back To School, Time To Write A Thesis! 270 Back To School, Time To Write A Thesis! ¡°Aiya, I didn¡¯t expect there to be a day in my life when my son is my lucky star. Hahahaha!¡± Mother Luo laughed repeatedly, not allowing Luo Feng to interrupt. ¡°By the way, Mom, I¡¯ve booked a physical examination for you and my father. It¡¯s this weekend. Remember to go to the hospital on time.¡± Luo Feng suddenly said solemnly when she was almost done laughing. ¡°Why?¡± In Mother Luo¡¯s heart, it was not auspicious to mention going to the hospital at this time. ¡°I hope my Director can work without distractions.¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°The body is the capital for revolution. Remember to go on time.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Mother Luo was abnormally touched. She did not expect her son to be so considerate one day. Indeed, engaged men were different. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. I¡¯m going down to do a square dance,¡± Mother Luo said anxiously. Before Luo Feng hung up, he heard Father Luo¡¯s disdainful voice from the receiver. ¡°What square dance? You just want to hear others call you Director. Aren¡¯t you tired of hearing it every day?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! I¡¯m not tired of hearing it!¡± Luo Feng smiled helplessly and hung up. Even though he knew that the news on the National TV Channel would bring about a different change, he did not expect Mother Luo to be the first to be affected. In the following period of time, other changes were also changing. At the end of May. Luo Feng returned to school. He had been in Shanghai for the past few months and had more or less dealt with the accumulated work. He had begun to get on the right track. However, he had not been in school for a few months and there were also accumulated matters. Luo Feng only applied for compulsory classes, but many elective classes also required attendance. He could ask his classmates to help him sign in during class. The elective classes were not as strict as the compulsory classes, and the entire school knew about Luo Feng¡¯s situation. The Dean of the Faculty turned a blind eye, and the teachers would not deliberately find fault with him. However, he still needed to appear in person for the final exam. The taxi stopped at the school gate. Luo Feng crawled out and looked at the school that had not changed. He felt that something was wrong. Many people were already looking at him while he was standing by the street paying the fare. Some people stopped to whisper, as if they were discussing him. Only then did Luo Feng feel that he seemed to have really become famous! He first went to Dean Qi¡¯s office to report. Coincidentally, there was someone else in the office. Luo Feng stood by the door and waited. He could hear a conversation inside, as if a student was talking to Dean Qi. He could not hear clearly through the office door. It seemed that the student had made a mistake and was pleading with Dean Qi. Dean Qi was very angry, and his decibels were almost comparable to the level of noise. Luo Feng waited and listened for half an hour, but there was still no sign of stopping. Thinking that there was still a pile of classes to revise, Luo Feng could not wait anymore and knocked on the door. ¡°Who is it? Come in.¡± Dean Qi roared in frustration. He had been angry for half an hour, but his anger had not subsided at all. Luo Feng pushed the door open and entered. He saw Dean Qi drinking water in big gulps with a flushed face. His mouth must have been dry. ¡°Dean Qi, it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Luo Feng? Why are you back?¡± Dean Qi almost choked on the water when he saw Luo Feng enter. He immediately put down his cup and stood up. He smiled at Luo Feng as if his expression had changed. When the boy who was being reprimanded beside him saw this scene, his facial features frowned in confusion. Dean Qi waved his hand and changed to a brisk tone. ¡°I won¡¯t bicker with you this time. Go back and write a 5,000-word self-reflection. If you do it again, don¡¯t blame me for using the school rules!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The student smiled through his tears and bowed deeply to Dean Qi. With a sense of relief, he bowed deeply to Luo Feng again. He looked at Luo Feng as if he was looking at timely rain. The office door closed. President Qi said kindly, ¡°Do you want tea? Why are you looking for me?¡± He remembered that Luo Feng had come to look for Dean Qi after completing the examinations. He also liked to preach like a normal elder and told Luo Feng a lot, such as ¡°Pride comes before a fall¡±, don¡¯t neglect your studies outside and cherish time. This time, Dean Qi¡¯s attitude changed 180 degrees. Luo Feng felt like he was being viewed as an equal. ¡°I¡¯m here to cancel the leave.¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°It¡¯s a small matter. Go back and rest first. I¡¯ll get someone to send the leave removal slip over later.¡± President Qi said with concern. ¡°Erm If the company has any difficulties, tell me at any time. The school will definitely help if it¡¯s possible.¡± When he saw Luo Feng, it was as if he was seeing a rising star. An educator was proudest to see a student become a talent. Luo Feng went on the National TV Channel. The school also had a medium-sized commendation. As the person who opened a special channel for Luo Feng, Dean Qi was also praised as ¡°unique discerning eyes, bold and confident¡±. ¡°Alright, thank you for your concern, Dean. The current development is quite stable.¡± Luo Feng continued. Dean Qi was quite concerned about Gathering Sift and took the initiative to understand some of the situation. Luo Feng was also very cooperative. The company would need a large number of talents when Cui Kun starts cloud computing in the future. Wasn¡¯t the school a high-quality hunting ground? At that time, he still needed Dean Qi to appear. Dean Qi also understood the meaning in Luo Feng¡¯s words. He patted his chest and promised to help. At this moment, the office door was pushed open. Professor Vincent walked in and naturally greeted, ¡°Luo Feng is back.¡± Unlike Dean Qi, Professor Vincent¡¯s expression was not good when he saw Luo Feng. It was even smellier than rotten eggs. He did not seem to be very happy. Luo Feng stood up and greeted, ¡°Professor, long time no see.¡± Professor Vincent was stunned for a moment. He probably did not expect Luo Feng to be so humble. After sizing him up, he shook his head and sighed. ¡°Look at you. Just do business. Why are you so successful?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Wasn¡¯t it good to succeed? ¡°It¡¯s like this¡± Dean Qi came out to smooth things over.¡± Professor Vincent has always wanted you to have something in mathematics. Unfortunately, you chose to do business. ¡± Even though Dean Qi and Professor Vincent did not teach the same Professions, they had more interactions because of Luo Feng¡¯s examination. When they were free, they would imagine Luo Feng¡¯s future path together. Luo Feng understood. Professor Vincent was angry at him for wasting his talent. He felt that it was a pity. However, to be honest, Luo Feng had expressed from the beginning that he was not good at academics. He originally thought that Professor Vincent had already given up, but he did not expect him to still persist. At that time, Professor Vincent wanted to poach Luo Feng from the Finance Faculty to the Mathematics Faculty. He even spoke up for Luo Feng in the exemption test. Professor Vincent was a little angry. ¡°In that case, don¡¯t waste your talent. How about writing a math thesis? My expectations of you won¡¯t be in vain then.¡± As expected, Professor Vincent would not be satisfied if he did not do anything! ¡°Ah! That¡¯s right! Luo Feng, don¡¯t forget that you still have a thesis to write.¡± President Qi reacted for two minutes. ¡°That¡¯s not right, Professor. Luo Feng is from the Finance Department. If he wants to write, he should write a finance-related thesis!¡± Why was he poaching him in front of him! Chapter 271 - 271 Luo Feng, How Can You Have Fallen To This State! 271 Luo Feng, How Can You Have Fallen To This State! ¡°I don¡¯t care! I¡¯m busy running around, it¡¯s definitely not to train my body!¡± Professor Vincent began to act shamelessly. ¡°Professor, aren¡¯t you¡­ making things too difficult for Luo Feng¡­¡± President Qi said angrily. One of the conditions for exemption was to submit an SCI thesis before the end of this semester. There was still a month and a half before the agreed time. Dean Qi thought that Luo Feng would be busy during this period, so he did not rush him. However, Professor Vincent was even more anxious than him! Moreover, that was SCI! There was only a month and a half left. Not to mention that Luo Feng was only a freshman, even a professor with slightly weaker abilities might not be able to write it. Moreover, it was in another subject. Dean Qi was originally prepared to open the back door for Luo Feng. Luo Feng had indeed achieved very good results in business after all. ¡°Hmph! He said it himself!¡± Professor Vincent was determined to take a last gamble and refused to compromise. No matter how much Dean Qi interceded for Luo Feng, he would not relent. ¡°Professor, you¡¯re too difficult on him. Luo Feng is only a student, and he¡¯s usually busy with the company!¡± Dean Qi was also angry. If Luo Feng could really write an SCI thesis in a month and a half, he could directly graduate. When Professor Vincent heard this, he seemed to feel that it was a little difficult. His goal was to hope that Luo Feng would come back to do academics, not to force him to his death. ¡°How about this?¡± Professor Vincent said. ¡°Write a paper that pleases me. This standard isn¡¯t too harsh, right?¡± ¡°Professor, Luo Feng is from the Finance Department¡­¡± President Qi was extremely speechless.¡± Moreover, what level can satisfy you? The standards are a little unpredictable.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Can it allow me to graduate early?¡± ¡°¡­ Yes! I¡¯ll make the decision!¡± Professor Vincent promised solemnly. ¡°Professor, Luo Feng is from the Finance Department and you¡¯re from the Mathematics Department. How can you let him graduate¡­¡± President Qi said helplessly. He was the Dean, not air! However, Luo Feng and Professor Vincent ignored him. Luo Feng was not a fool. He could tell that Professor Vincent had more authority than Dean Qi. As long as he convinced Professor Vincent, Professor Vincent would help him deal with Dean Qi. ¡°Alright! It¡¯s settled then!¡± Luo Feng immediately made an agreement, afraid that Professor Vincent would regret it. The temptation of graduating early was too great. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to take the exemption test every semester. He had to take out a month to prepare for the test every semester. It was really a waste of time. The company was at its busiest period. It would only become busier and busier in the future. If he gave up on his studies directly, he would be killed by his parents. Graduating directly was too tempting to Luo Feng¡¯s liking. The problem he needed to face now was what paper could satisfy Professor Vincent? Luo Feng left the office as he thought about this. Behind him, Dean Qi and Professor Vincent were still arguing about the thesis selection question. ¡­ When he returned home. The first thing Luo Feng said to Ai Tingya was, ¡°From tomorrow onwards, I want to stay in the library!¡± ¡°All the best!¡± Ai Tingya did not know the reason, but she would agree with Luo Feng¡¯s decision. Luo Feng told Ai Tingya everything that had happened today. ¡°Really? Can Professor Vincent even promise such a thing?¡± Ai Tingya was still very surprised by Professor Vincent¡¯s decision. After all, he was famous for being strict in school. He actually agreed to let Luo Feng graduate early. ¡°Even though I might have to let him down, I have to write a thesis that he¡¯s satisfied with!¡± Luo Feng clenched his fists. ¡°I have to get up at six o¡¯clock tomorrow morning!¡± ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll call you on time!¡± Ai Tingya clenched her fists, wanting to support Luo Feng with her actions. The next day. Ai Tingya woke up at 5:30 pm to make a sumptuous breakfast. She walked to Luo Feng¡¯s bed and shook him gently. ¡°Luo Feng, it¡¯s six o¡¯clock. It¡¯s time to get up.¡± Luo Feng opened one eye and saw Ai Tingya in an apron. He pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to press against her. ¡°Uh-uh?¡± Ai Tingya struggled for a while. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to the library?¡± ¡°Morning exercise will make me more energetic.¡± ¡°The morning exercise has nothing to do with me. Don¡¯t pull my clothes!¡± On this day, Luo Feng did not walk out of the room. At night. Ai Tingya placed her hands on her hips and glared at Luo Feng very seriously. ¡°What did you tell me yesterday?¡± Luo Feng reflected deeply on his actions. ¡°A beard lathered is half shaved. Tomorrow! I¡¯ll definitely report to the library on time tomorrow!¡± The next day, it happened again yesterday¡­ On the third day, he did not manage to go out successfully¡­ At night, Luo Feng stood on the balcony and looked at the moonless sky. He sighed. ¡°Luo Feng, oh Luo Feng, why are you so useless! Tomorrow! I must go to the library tomorrow!¡± Ai Tingya could no longer be bothered to complain. On the fourth day, Ai Tingya struggled for a while before surrendering. At six o¡¯clock in the morning on the fifth day. Ai Tingya held her waist and quietly got up to walk to the door. She picked up the small bag she had prepared in advance and prepared to leave home quietly. She did not know if Luo Feng could complete the thesis if she still did not leave, but she would definitely not be able to keep her waist and studies. She still had to go to class! ¡°Ah? Little Ya, you¡¯re so early today?¡± In the morning, Xiao Fei had just opened the door of the milk tea shop when she saw Ai Tingya sitting in the shop reading. She had not seen Ai Tingya for a few days, but when she thought of Luo Feng¡¯s return, she understood everything. Therefore, Xiao Fei did not even send Ai Tingya a message for the past two days because she did not want to disturb the couple. ¡°Are you feeling unwell? You don¡¯t look too good.¡± Xiao Fei saw that Ai Tingya had been holding her waist and seemed to be in pain sitting on the hard stool. Ai Tingya waved her hand. ¡°I¡¯m not unwell. Xiao Fei, help me.¡± ¡°What favor?¡± ¡°Call Luo Feng immediately and tell him not to see me again if he doesn¡¯t appear in the library in half an hour!¡± Ai Tingya felt that it was time to give Luo Feng some strength. Otherwise, he would probably sleep to death in a gentle place! ¡°Okay!¡± Xiao Fei immediately made a call and repeated her words. ¡°He asked where you are?¡± Xiao Fei covered the microphone and asked for Ai Tingya¡¯s opinion. ¡°Just say that I¡¯m waiting for him on the other side of the sea of learning!¡± Ai Tingya gritted her teeth! This time, Luo Feng had really disappointed her! How could he have fallen into such a state! He had to study hard. Otherwise, his graduation would be in vain! After Xiao Fei hung up, Ai Tingya quickly asked, ¡°What did Luo Feng say?¡± ¡°He said he was wrong. He¡¯ll definitely be gentler next time. He hopes you can forgive him.¡± Xiao Fei looked confused. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you two have a fight?¡± ¡°¡­ Take it as a fight¡­¡± Ai Tingya blushed and lowered her head. ¡°No, you should forget about this matter¡­ Please¡­¡± Chapter 272 - 272 A Beautiful Senior Studying In The Path Of An Academic 272 A Beautiful Senior Studying In The Path Of An Academic In the school library. Christine sat by the window and read as usual. Mottled light sprinkled on her body, and her golden hair emitted a crystalline light. Her skin was fair, and her facial features were deep, like a perfect statue. A few boys not far away could not help but look at her. A boy looked at it for a long time and finally stood up and walked towards Christine as if he could not help it. ¡°What are you doing?¡± His companion pressed him down. ¡°I¡¯m going to ask for her contact information,¡± the boy said matter-of-factly. ¡°You don¡¯t know her?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know her, but she should be a senior from our Mathematics Department.¡± At this point, the boy took another look at Christine and blushed as he giggled. Christine was very good-looking, with deep features, but because of her lazy temperament, she looked approachable. The boy had been observing her in the library for a few days. Or rather, the purpose of coming to the library was to see Christine. Especially when he realized that Christine was always studying math-related books. Coincidentally, the boy was also in the math faculty. Because they were from the same department, the boy felt that his relationship with his senior had become closer. Today, he finally mustered up the courage to ask for her contact information. His colleague could not help but dampen his enthusiasm. ¡°Professor Vincent is her thesis guidance teacher. Are you still going?¡± ¡°Professor Vincent?¡± The boy¡¯s eyes widened, as if he had woken up from a dream. ¡°Yes, Professor Vincent!¡± The boy spat. ¡°Could it be that she¡¯s Senior Christine, the number one student in the entire Faculty in four years? She¡¯s even a graduate student guaranteed by our school?¡± ¡°That¡¯s her,¡± his companion said sympathetically. The boy immediately retracted his admiring gaze. This senior was not someone he could reach. Christine¡¯s name was quite famous in the Mathematics Faculty. She had been first in the exam gap for four consecutive years and had won a scholarship. She had originally wanted to apply to study abroad, but it was rumored that she chose to stay in school because of her family¡¯s situation. Later on, she became Professor Vincent¡¯s disciple. Professor Vincent was famous for his terrifying medical skills in the entire school, and no one could compare to him in his area of expertise. There were very few students that he took a fancy to. However, he praised Christine and said that she had the potential of an academician. She was a god-like figure in the Mathematics Faculty. The boy suddenly remembered some legends he had heard. ¡°The one where you have to finish a practice book to woo her?¡± Christine was very famous and was also very beautiful. Moreover, unlike the stereotypical science woman, she was quite lazy and casual, and her temperament was very outstanding. Therefore, she was very popular and had many suitors. He heard that a rich second-generation senior from the same batch had once boldly confessed his love to Christine and covered the ground of the dormitory building with perfume roses, because he wanted to discuss a question with her. Of course, this was an excuse to get closer. After all, everyone knew that Christine liked to study mathematics the most. Unexpectedly, Christine ignored him at first. When she heard this, she threw down a thin exercise book from upstairs. ¡°Come and discuss it with me after you solve this exercise book.¡± Christine dismissed her senior with a sentence. The exercise book was very thin, only about 10 pages, and it was a manual summary by Christine. The senior cherished it very much and was full of confidence. He returned to the dormitory happily. It was a week later when he emerged again. He did not know if he could solve it, but this senior had taken a year off from school. He heard that he doubted his talent in mathematics. Ever since he returned, he had been focused on his studies. He had never mentioned love again. ¡°That¡¯s her.¡± His companion nodded. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯d better study hard.¡± The boy picked up his pen shakily and looked gratefully at his friend. Fortunately, he stopped him. Otherwise, he would have doubted his life like that senior. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. Just find another one. There are still many juniors. You¡­¡± The two of them gathered together and chatted about nothing. Even though their voices were not loud, they still affected others in the quiet library. The few people reading at the side glared at them and reminded them several times with their eyes. Christine was not far away either. She did not feel anything and was focused on the book. The chaos outside had nothing to do with her. The boy observed the senior reluctantly and realized that she was really serious. As if nothing could interfere with her. The boy could not help but sigh. As expected, the Goddess of Studying was from a different world from them. Just this learning state alone was not something they could learn. Senior Christine might be born suitable for academic companionship. Just as the boy was sighing, he realized that Christine¡¯s eyes were moving. Her unfocused gaze was clearly because she was distracted! The boy followed Christine¡¯s gaze and looked over curiously. A handsome man suddenly barged into his line of sight. He really had a handsome face that could attract people at a glance. The boy suddenly saw through the mortal world. Indeed, in this face-based world, academics were ranked second. The person who attracted Christine¡¯s attention was Luo Feng. Ai Tingya had given a death order, so Luo Feng was forced to be proactive. He ran to the library in 20 minutes and sat down to calm down and learn. Thinking of Professor Vincent¡¯s request, even though it was just a short sentence, it was really difficult to implement. Who knew what kind of thesis he was satisfied with? A thesis that satisfied a professor who had made contributions¡­ Luo Feng thought for a long time but had no clue. However, it was definitely better to build a solid foundation than to live a life of luxury at home. He had to write at least one thesis and be familiar with the basic theory of undergraduate studies. Luo Feng had completely forgotten his identity as a student of the Finance Faculty and turned to mathematics. To be honest, Luo Feng was also under a lot of pressure. He had never been so engrossed in learning that he did not notice that he had become the focus of the library. Luo Feng sat from the morning to the afternoon. At two o¡¯clock, his stomach growled twice. Only then did Luo Feng remember that it was time to eat lunch. He made a mark on the book and stood up to leave. At this moment, a call behind him made him slow down. ¡°Luo Feng!¡± Hearing an unfamiliar voice, Luo Feng turned around. ¡°You are?¡± Christine introduced herself. ¡°My name is Christine. I¡¯m Professor Vincent¡¯s student.¡± ¡°Hello.¡± Luo Feng glanced at the book Christine was holding. It was about the first year of research. The last time he came to school, some girls took the initiative to strike up a conversation, so Luo Feng¡¯s reaction was very calm. He did not even want to pay attention to them. After greeting them, Luo Feng turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Christine followed him. ¡°Professor Vincent always talks about you, so I¡¯ve always wanted to see you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Luo Feng slowed down. He was still a little interested in Professor Vincent¡¯s student. ¡°That¡¯s right. He always said that you¡¯re very talented and wanted you to further your studies under him.¡± Christine told him something that Luo Feng did not understand. It was as if Professor Vincent had always treated Luo Feng as a student of the Mathematics Faculty. However, he was studying in the Finance Faculty! The Professor was really too persistent¡­ Chapter 273 - 273 Suspicious Of Life, Shocking Learning Speed! 273 Suspicious Of Life, Shocking Learning Speed! Luo Feng did not expect Professor Vincent to praise him so much in private. He smiled and said, ¡°The Professor is exaggerating.¡± Hearing this, Christine looked at Luo Feng meaningfully. ¡°Professor doesn¡¯t praise people easily. Even I myself have only been praised by him a few times.¡± Actually, Christine was a little jealous. She had only heard Professor Vincent praise her ever since she became his disciple after all. She had been the one maintaining this record until Luo Feng appeared. After hearing her description, Luo Feng finally understood that Christine was not here to strike up a conversation, but because of the professor. Moreover, her tone sounded a little unconvinced. ¡°I heard that you¡¯re very busy running a company outside,¡± Christine said provocatively. ¡°You can¡¯t do well in academia if you do two things at once!¡± Christine was very direct. She was an academic after all and was focused on her professions. She rarely studied language skills. Moreover, to them, every inch of time was worth more than gold. It was more economical to be direct. She tightened her grip on the book, ready to fight at any time. ¡°I¡­¡± Luo Feng said,¡± I didn¡¯t want to do academics to begin with. Speaking of which, Senior, you¡¯re in the Mathematics Faculty, right? I¡¯m in the Finance Faculty¡­¡± She had clearly chosen the wrong person. ¡°Huh?¡± Christine stood rooted to the ground, her hot blood extinguished by cold water. ¡°It¡¯s good that the misunderstanding has been resolved.¡± Luo Feng waved his hand. ¡°Senior Sister, I¡¯ll go eat first. I won¡¯t chat with you anymore.¡± ¡­ When Luo Feng returned from the canteen, he realized that there was someone else beside his seat. The book barrier on the table was like a city wall. Half of it belonged to Luo Feng, and the other half belonged to Christine. There seemed to be a small world between the two of them as they sat. If others saw this, they would think that the people inside were whispering. Luo Feng did not ask further. He sat in his seat and did his own things. Beside him, Christine did not look up, as if she was isolated from the outside world and was completely immersed in the sea of knowledge. The two of them learned their own things, but they seemed to be secretly competing to see who would study for the longest. The competition only ended when the library closed and the two of them were chased out by the administrator. ¡­ The next day. Christine woke up early. ¡°So early?¡± Her roommate rubbed her sleepy eyes. ¡°Going to the library again?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not done with my thesis.¡± Christine was full of energy and quickly tidied up the table. After returning to the dormitory last night, Christine even studied for another two hours. She only went to sleep when her eyes were really unable to be closed. After a few hours of sleep, she was revived. The other three roommates were quite envious of her physique. ¡°You¡¯re going to write a thesis in Grade One?¡± Her roommate was shocked awake. ¡°No way, why didn¡¯t I hear about it?¡± Their dormitory was filled with graduate students. They had a headache at the mention of the thesis. ¡°Speaking of which, aren¡¯t you already guaranteed? Why are you still writing?¡± Her roommate could not stop asking. ¡°Or did the professor give you another difficult problem?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m in a special situation.¡± Christine smiled and did not explain in detail. She simply liked mathematics and wanted to use her limited time to learn more. It would be a waste of time to explain, so Christine chose to gloss over it. When her roommate heard that the thesis had nothing to do with her, she heaved a sigh of relief and suddenly gossiped, ¡°I heard that you hit on your junior yesterday? How¡¯s the progress?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m a little disappointed,¡± Christine said. ¡°Disappointed? I heard that he¡¯s very handsome. Why are you disappointed?¡± ¡°He¡¯s still learning sophomore material¡­¡± At this point, Christine blinked and thought of a problem. Wasn¡¯t Luo Feng in the Finance Department? Why was he teaching himself sophomore mathematics? However, Christine quickly threw this question to the back of her mind because this was not the main point. Originally, she really wanted to compete with Luo Feng since he was approved by Professor Vincent. However, Christine lost her interest when she saw the courses Luo Feng was learning. She felt that she shouldn¡¯t be calculative with a junior who had yet to finish his undergraduate course. She felt no sense of accomplishment at all. ¡°You¡¯re talking about the course¡­¡± Her roommate realized that the two of them were not chatting on the same channel and covered her mouth as she laughed. ¡°I¡¯m asking him how he looks. Isn¡¯t he very handsome?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Christine frowned slightly. This question seemed to be beyond her range of understanding. She hesitated for a while before saying, ¡°He should be handsome.¡± Appearance was not within Christine¡¯s range of attention. Her roommate saw that she was standing uneasily and clearly wanted to leave quickly. He laughed and waved his hand. ¡°I won¡¯t waste your time. Hurry up and occupy a seat. Bye.¡± ¡°Bye-bye.¡± Before she could finish speaking, Christine had already opened the door and left. ¡­ Christine ran to the library and realized that Luo Feng was also there. Christine¡¯s impression of Luo Feng changed a little when she saw his serious back view. Hard work and persistence were very precious qualities after all. No one hated people who studied seriously. She chose the spot beside Luo Feng and glanced at the books he was reading. ¡°Huh?¡± Christine raised her eyebrows slightly. She was very familiar with mathematics textbooks. She could accurately name which book belonged to which grade at any knowledge point. She remembered very clearly that yesterday, Luo Feng was reading the first semester of his sophomore year. Why had it changed to the second semester of his sophomore year today? The supporting information in front of Luo Feng had also changed to the second semester of his sophomore year. Christine¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she had a terrifying thought. ¡°Could it be that he studied the materials for one semester in a day?¡± This matter piqued Christine¡¯s curiosity. It was like watching a suspense drama. In the past, she came to the library to read. Now, there was an additional purpose to observe Luo Feng. It was mainly to observe the knowledge he learned every day. Christine noticed Luo Feng¡¯s learning pattern. First, he spent a day learning almost an entire semester worth of knowledge. Then, he focused on analyzing difficult problems in the next few days. On average, he could learn an entire school year¡¯s worth of knowledge in four days. How is this possible? Christine had a mental breakdown. She had originally come to the library to write a thesis, but her attention was completely attracted by Luo Feng. She was a genius praised by her teachers in the past after all. Ever since she entered university, she had never met her match. Everyone said that she would definitely have great achievements in mathematics in the future. She had always believed firmly in advancing towards her goal. Because of that, Christine was proud and had the right to be proud. But now¡­ She was mocked by Luo Feng, who had appeared out of thin air. Christine could not help but doubt herself. ¡­ Luo Feng still did not know how much psychological pressure his actions had placed on the senior beside him. He forgot about sleep and food and used two weeks to learn all the mathematics undergraduate knowledge. He needed to save up and broaden his knowledge in order to be able to write a thesis that satisfied the professor. Then, he picked up the master¡¯s degree course. At this level of learning, textbooks did not seem to be so useful. He needed to read some big shots¡¯ papers and understand the latest research theories. The speed at which textbooks were updated was clearly slower than the publication of the thesis. It was best to find topics that he could use from the latest theories. Chapter 274 - 274 The Senior Who Broke Down In Secret 274 The Senior Who Broke Down In Secret Other than reading textbooks, Luo Feng would also print a large amount of thesis to read. This action made Christine break down even more. In the past two weeks, at least Christine could understand the topics that Luo Feng was studying even though he was studying at lightning speed. Now, she could not understand the information in Luo Feng¡¯s hands at all. The only thing she could understand was that Luo Feng¡¯s learning had already surpassed hers! Was this the learning speed of a normal person? Christine kept doubting herself and her life. She could not help but wonder if she was worthy of the praises in the past. Luo Feng¡¯s appearance caused Christine¡¯s mental state to become unfocused, and her enthusiasm for learning was not as high as before. Even her roommates could tell that she was abnormal. ¡°Christine, are you alright? I feel that you¡¯re in a terrible state.¡± Her roommate realized that Christine did not go to the library but chose to study in the dormitory. She immediately felt that something was wrong. In the past, she would wake up at 6:30 am even on the weekends. She would pack up and report to the library on time half an hour later. Then, she would study until 10 pm before coming back. That cycle was unbreakable. After returning from the library, she would often study for another hour or two. Sleeping for five hours seemed to be a reward from Christine to herself. In the eyes of her roommates, her learning method was almost self-harming. If not for the fact that Christine was enjoying it, they would really suspect that there was something else going on. Christine was really passionate about mathematics after all. In the past, she could learn it with ease. This state made her roommates jealous. However, recently, the Goddess of Studying seemed to be turning back into a human. Her roommate looked at Christine¡¯s panda-like dark circles and her unwashed face and hair. Even though her eyes were on the books, she always looked like she was about to cry. ¡°Christine, are you really alright?¡± Her roommate picked up her phone, ready to contact the ambulance at any time. However, Christine didn¡¯t seem to hear her, as if her soul had been hooked away. ¡°What should we do? She¡¯s completely immersed in another world.¡± Another roommate walked up. ¡°Don¡¯t panic!¡± Her roommate was very calm. ¡°I know how to deal with such a situation. Call her name loudly and call her soul back!¡± They stood on either side of each other. ¡°Christine? Christine!¡± ¡°Christine, wake up! The analysis of the new questions has arrived!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Christine blinked and came back to her senses. She looked up blankly and reacted a few beats slower. Her roommate asked with concern, ¡°Did something happen to you? Something has been wrong recently, do you know?¡± Christine looked left and right in confusion. Their questions seemed to have poked at something. Christine couldn¡¯t help but cry. Her roommate immediately panicked. ¡°Eh? What happened? Did I scare you just now? I¡¯m sorry. We were just worried about you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t cry first. Did something happen at home? We¡¯ll help you think of a way.¡± Her two roommates persuaded and coaxed her. They took tissue after tissue and hurriedly guarded Christine. After waiting for more than 10 minutes, Christine calmed down and said, ¡°Tell me¡­ Tell me, am I very stupid?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± They seemed to have heard a cold joke. Christine continued, ¡°I¡¯ve been following Luo Feng according to his learning progress these few days¡­ but I can¡¯t keep up¡­¡± The two roommates were confused and asked each other softly, ¡°Luo Feng? Could she be referring to that Luo Feng? Isn¡¯t he from the Finance Department? How can he be compared to her?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Let¡¯s ask first.¡± Christine covered her face in despair. ¡°Am I not suitable to learn mathematics? Should I change to another faculty in my first year of graduate school?¡± Hearing this, her two roommates revealed indescribable expressions. ¡°If you put it that way¡­ there might not be anyone suitable to learn mathematics in the world.¡± Her two roommates were also graduate students of the Mathematics Department. To be honest, they were under a lot of pressure since they were in the same dormitory as Christine. If not for the fact that they had a good mentality and insisted on their own rhythm, they would have long been killed by Christine. Now, they actually heard Christine reflect on herself? ¡°Are you hallucinating because you¡¯re under too much pressure?¡± her roommate comforted her. ¡°You need to rest and relax occasionally.¡± ¡°Really¡­¡± Christine was very aggrieved. ¡°Compared to Luo Feng, I really feel that my talent is too poor.¡± Christine had always been ¡°someone else¡¯s child¡± as mentioned by adults since she was young. She was good at her studies and never had to worry her parents. She was always first every year. This was the first time Christine had chased after someone else. She followed Luo Feng¡¯s progress and studied until late at night every day, but she could not catch up at all. The worst thing was that the difference was becoming more and more obvious. It was extremely painful for a proud person to be inferior to others. Christine felt that no matter how hard she tried, it would be in vain and she could not help but start to doubt her life. Her two roommates were stunned. ¡°So fierce?¡± The two of them said in surprise, ¡°The Finance Faculty can¡¯t satisfy him, so he came to the Mathematics Faculty?¡± Others might not know about Christine¡¯s ability, but how could her two roommates not know? Even in a university like Oxford where geniuses were everywhere, Christine was one of the top geniuses, as if she was born to learn mathematics. Luo Feng was really a terrifying person to be able to defeat such an outstanding Christine! Christine¡¯s eyes were filled with tears as she gave up on herself. ¡°I might need to reincarnate if I want to surpass him¡­¡± Her two roommates had mixed feelings after hearing this. They opened their mouths to say something, but in the end, they could not persuade themselves to say anything. They could only guard the crying Christine and comfort her. The proud person cried for a long time before she suddenly wiped her tears forcefully. Her eyes turned red. ¡°No! I want to find Luo Feng!¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Acknowledge my master!¡± ¡°Ah? Master? He¡¯s our junior, okay¡­¡± If Christine acknowledged Luo Feng as her master, wouldn¡¯t this junior be on the same level as Professor Vincent? ¡°Age is not a problem! He¡¯s better than me, so I have to learn from him!¡± Christine¡¯s eyes were very determined. ¡°As long as I can improve in my studies, I¡¯m willing to do anything!¡± The two roommates sighed and could only respect her. ¡°¡­Uh, it¡¯s up to you. I hope you get what you want.¡± After making up her mind, Christine rushed into the bathroom to wash her face. She picked up her books and rushed to the library. ¡­ In the library, Luo Feng was reading a thesis. Luo Feng felt a shadow sit down beside him, but he did not care. After a while, the shadow handed him a note. It said, ¡°I don¡¯t quite understand this proof. Can I trouble you to teach me?¡± Luo Feng turned his head in confusion and saw Christine looking at him with red eyes. He looked at the questions on the note and wrote down, ¡°We cannot talk in the library. Let¡¯s talk outside.¡± Chapter 275 - 275 How Bold! Do You Know What Youre Saying? 275 How Bold! Do You Know What You¡¯re Saying? When Christine saw Luo Feng¡¯s reply, she immediately smiled in surprise. The two of them walked to the entrance of the library and casually swept the steps twice before sitting down. Luo Feng held a pen in one hand and a draft paper in the other. He began to explain the proof process in detail. Christine listened attentively. This question had been bothering her for weeks. She went to ask Professor Vincent and he said that Christine could solve it with her skills. Then, he ignored it. It was a free-range education. Christine flipped through the book for a long time. She did not expect Luo Feng to explain everything clearly in just five minutes. She looked at Luo Feng with admiration. ¡°Done.¡± Luo Feng tore the entire draft paper to Christine. This senior¡¯s level was also quite high. Her foundation was solid and her comprehension ability was extremely strong. If it was someone slightly weaker, they might not be able to understand it even in an hour. ¡°Do you have any other questions?¡± Luo Feng said politely. He was tired of reading the thesis. It was a good opportunity to change his mind by chatting with someone about the questions. Then, he watched as Christine ran in happily and ran out with a thick notebook. ¡°¡­¡± The corners of Luo Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. There was no need to be so relaxed¡­ Christine was also a little embarrassed. ¡°These are all problems that I usually accumulate. There are some that I don¡¯t understand¡­ The Professor is a little busy¡­¡± Luo Feng understood very well. Being Professor Vincent¡¯s student looked glorious and dignified, but it was actually extremely stressful. He was a Professor after all. He still had his own topics to research and could not take care of his students so well. Moreover, Professor Vincent especially liked to encourage his students to think of ways to overcome their own difficulties. Therefore, he disdained to talk about ordinary small matters. However, he never thought that with his level, there might not be any questions worth talking about. This caused the students below to complain endlessly. Therefore, Christine was too embarrassed to disturb him too much. She could only record it down first and take some time to specially study it. ¡°You¡­ This is too much¡­¡± Luo Feng did not dislike teaching others. He had basically spent his evening self-study on the podium in the second half of the Third High School. Moreover, he had consolidated his foundation while teaching others. However, he was short of time now. There were less than three weeks left until he had to submit his thesis. He did not have much time to distribute to the studious seniors. ¡°I won¡¯t take up too much of your time.¡± Christine quickly explained, ¡°Just tell me when you¡¯re free.¡± Luo Feng thought for a while. ¡°How about this? I¡¯m about to write a thesis and need an assistant¡­¡± ¡°I can, I can!¡± Christine rushed to answer, as if she was afraid that the opportunity would be snatched away if she was a second slower before he could finish speaking. Luo Feng was not looking for an excuse, he really needed an assistant. Even though he did not have to squat in the laboratory for mathematical research, he could not do it behind closed doors after all. He did not have much time. Having an assistant with passable professional knowledge to help him check the documents and filter the information could save Luo Feng a lot of things. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to start writing from tomorrow onwards. It¡¯s unrealistic for me to come to the library,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°I¡¯ll give you an address. Come and find me tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± This was the first time Christine was happy since she met Luo Feng. The next morning. Christine stood under Luo Feng¡¯s flat at seven o¡¯clock sharp, like those times she had reported to the library. Luo Feng did not stand on ceremony and gave her a list as soon as she entered. ¡°Today, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to help me print out these papers first. I want to use them.¡± Christine held the long list of shopping receipts with 40 to 50 thesis titles written on it. ¡°Understood!¡± Christine was full of energy. Luo Feng could not help but take a few more glances at her. This senior might look older than Luo Feng, but she was quite simple-minded. As long as she felt that someone was powerful, she would admire them. She would cooperate as long as it was someone who could be of use to her. But she would ignore you if you were inferior to her. She would always look forward, and Luo Feng was standing in front of her. Luo Feng would not know that Christine cherished this opportunity because participating in the process of a big shot¡¯s thesis would also be beneficial to a researcher. Even if she could not participate in the actual writing process of the thesis, the reference documents selected by Luo Feng were enough for Christine to read for a long time. ¡­ In the next few days, Luo Feng did not leave his house and crazily browsed through the relevant documents. As an assistant, Christine was also secretly learning from his progress. Luo Feng would also answer her questions seriously when she encountered something she could not understand. The two of them seemed to have just changed places, and their enthusiasm for learning was still the same. After getting along for many days, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other. Christine was also curious about Luo Feng¡¯s thesis. ¡°Speaking of which, Luo Feng, what exactly are you doing?¡± She had mustered all the courage in her life to ask. After all, if she knew that Luo Feng¡¯s research topic was very profound, Christine might doubt herself again. Luo Feng smiled and looked up. ¡°Don¡¯t you know everything?¡± Christine vaguely guessed something based on recent documents. She widened her eyes and said, ¡°Are you really planning to solve Hodge¡¯s conjecture?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°No way¡­¡± Christine was stunned. That was Hodge¡¯s conjecture! One of the seven most difficult mathematics problems! The academic world had announced that anyone who could prove any one of these seven problems would be rewarded with a million United States Dollars! Of course, the monetary reward was only the most insignificant part. Hodge¡¯s conjecture is a conjecture about the algebraic topology of a singular complex algebraic cluster and its geometry expressed by polynomial equations defining subclusters. The more than 1,000 theorems derived from it directly affected the development of modern mathematics. If the Nobel Prize established a mathematics award, the person who solves Hodge¡¯s conjecture could win it twice. This had always been a Holy and Untouchable domain in Christine¡¯s eyes. Even Professor Vincent did not dare to have this thought. Therefore, Christine felt that either Luo Feng was crazy or the world was crazy when she heard that. Or perhaps both. She pursed her lips and looked at Luo Feng¡¯s calm expression, but she did not voice her thoughts out loud. Luo Feng was already much stronger than Christine to have the courage to prove Hodge¡¯s conjecture. ¡°Senior, are you tired?¡± Luo Feng sensed Christine¡¯s gaze and asked casually. Christine immediately buried her head in her book, but she could not hide the shock in her eyes. This was also why Luo Feng did not want to tell her. He was not arrogant when he aimed at Hodge¡¯s conjecture. He was doing this mainly because his thesis had to satisfy Professor Vincent. Luo Feng thought about it seriously and finally came to the conclusion that it had to be something that ¡°even a Professor can¡¯t produce results on!¡± In that case, Professor Vincent would have no reason to be dissatisfied with it. Chapter 276 - 276 Hidden Ultimate Technique, Skill Enhancement Card 276 Hidden Ultimate Technique, Skill Enhancement Card Hodge¡¯s conjecture was definitely a result recognized by all mathematicians. Christine could not believe it. That was because she was too young and knowledgeable. It was one of the few problems that countless outstanding people could not solve, let alone a young woman in her twenties. Actually, Luo Feng did not have 100% confidence, so he crazily searched for the research results of his predecessors. Time was tight, and he could only stand on the shoulder of the giant. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m indeed a little tired¡­¡± Christine reacted for a few minutes before making a choice. Luo Feng looked at her expression and knew that she wouldn¡¯t believe him. When he heard Christine say that she wanted to return to school first, Luo Feng only reminded her to be careful on the way. Indeed, Christine did not come to Luo Feng¡¯s apartment again after that day. This made Luo Feng feel a little defeated and he did not have much confidence. He took out his phone and sent Ai Tingya a message. ¡°Tingya, I need to go into seclusion for a week. Don¡¯t worry about me during this period of time. Just leave the food at the door.¡± After sending the message, Luo Feng threw his phone aside and closed the door. He stared blankly at the blank document. Suddenly, Luo Feng remembered the Skill Enhancement Card he had obtained previously. Now was the best time to use it! It was also because the state of the Skill Enhancement Card after being used was unknown that Luo Feng returned home from the library. [Using the Skill Enhancement Card! Preparing¡ª] [Completed!] A few lines of words flashed across the phone screen, but Luo Feng could not see them. He immediately felt like his brain was about to explode. Countless formulas surged out like spring water. The knowledge points he had accumulated for so many days resurfaced like a slide. Luo Feng lay on the table and felt his consciousness gradually rise. He seemed to have left his body and entered the Hall of Souls. Countless knowledge points floated in front of him, then overlapped and dissipated in an unbelievable manner. Luo Feng suddenly had many wonderful ideas after this repeated many times! Even though Luo Feng¡¯s body was heavy, his mental spirit was very abundant. His brain had become a sophisticated computer operating at high speed. The knowledge points that he had hurriedly swallowed into his stomach began to combine with knowledge that he could not imagine. Luo Feng was dumbfounded. ¡°Other than the 10 known methods to prove this theorem, there are two other methods!¡± ¡°There are loopholes in this thesis. It can reverse-argument the results¡­¡± He was filled with inspiration and thoughts wherever he looked. At this moment, Luo Feng was extremely glad. If he had not been crazily munching on books a while ago, his mind would have been blank at this moment. It would have been useless even if he used the card. As expected, there would be rewards! He did not know how long this state lasted. When he was completely conscious, his mind was extremely clear, and the fatigue in his body was swept away. Luo Feng did not waste any time being happy. Instead, he picked up the theses he had collected during this period of time and looked at them. This time, he was no longer just browsing. Instead, he could examine the content from an unprecedented perspective. Countless mathematicians had studied Hodge¡¯s conjecture since it was proposed in 1950. Their ideas were very valuable references. Luo Feng read these papers again. His computer-like sensitive mind could quickly calculate. He even proposed new ideas on the basis of the original author. However, gradually, Luo Feng realized that he would end up entering an unsolvable dead end according to the content of the thesis. Even the result of the derivative new idea was the same. ¡°These ideas are only of reference value, but I can¡¯t rely on them all.¡± Luo Feng sighed. He had long expected that if one of these ideas worked, Hodge¡¯s conjecture would have been explained long ago. If he wanted to conquer this century-old problem, he needed an unprecedented solution, or rather, what model tool to supplement it. He closed his eyes and searched for a small boat that could reach the other side in the chaotic sea of theories. Like the stars in the sky, Will-O-Wisp flickered a little and quickly hid. He needed to calm down and calculate quietly. ¡­ Three days later, Christine came to visit again. She had been hiding in the dormitory for the past few days, feeling extremely conflicted. She did not even go to the library. She lay on the single bed in the dormitory and would subconsciously think of how she looked when she spoke to Luo Feng. Hodge¡¯s Conjecture¡­ It would be a lie to say that any person who specialized in mathematics did not have any thoughts about solving Hodge¡¯s conjecture. Even Christine had fantasized about being overjoyed when she solved it. However, the knowledge she had learned told her that with her current level, this was wishful thinking. She might as well spend a lot of effort persuading Professor Vincent to change his research direction and let the professor crack Hodge¡¯s conjecture. Every time Christine closed her eyes, she thought of Luo Feng and Hodge¡¯s conjecture. When she opened her eyes, she thought of the route to Luo Feng¡¯s house again. Christine could not help but ask herself, ¡°Am I dreaming?¡± But she was really tempted! She really wanted to know the source of Luo Feng¡¯s confidence. What did he rely on to dare to say that he wanted to solve Hodge¡¯s conjecture? Such curiosity drove her to stand under Luo Feng¡¯s house again. Christine took a deep breath and pressed Luo Feng¡¯s doorbell as usual. After a few rings, someone replied, ¡°Hello, who is this?¡± Hearing the girl¡¯s voice, Christine instantly wanted to leave. So awkward¡­ ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m here to look for Luo Feng.¡± Christine felt inexplicably guilty. Crack¡ª The lock popped open and Christine pushed the door open. She walked into Luo Feng¡¯s floor and stood at the door, hesitating about knocking. The door was pushed open from the inside. Ai Tingya stood at the door and looked at the visitor in confusion. ¡°Hello¡­¡± ¡°Hello¡­¡± Christine had never seen Ai Tingya before and did not know how to address her. She stood rooted to the ground, not knowing how to introduce herself. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Senior Christine?¡± Ai Tingya tilted her head and said, ¡°My name is Ai Tingya. Luo Feng often mentions you to me.¡± Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s relationship was originally very popular in school. There were often people sharing their experiences meeting this immortal couple on the forum. Unfortunately, Christine was not interested in such gossip. It was rare for her to appear on the forum a few times a year, so she naturally did not know them. However, she was not stupid. Ai Tingya¡¯s actions were generous, she spoke elegantly, and she had the attitude of the main wife. Moreover, the two of them lived together. She was clearly Luo Feng¡¯s other half. This made her hesitate. Would it cause a misunderstanding if she came uninvited? Ai Tingya was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to pull her in. ¡°Luckily you are here. I really don¡¯t know what to do now.¡± She pulled Christine to Luo Feng¡¯s room where he was in seclusion. There was an exquisite plate of food at the door. The amount of food was prepared to the usual amount that Luo Feng would eat. The dishes were also very exquisite and were carefully covered with cling film. It was very appetizing, but the steam on the cling film showed that it had been there for a long time. Luo Feng did not feel like eating. Chapter 277 - 277 Thesis Completed! Submission! 277 Thesis Completed! Submission! Helpless, Ai Tingya took away the food on the ground and changed a plate of steaming fresh food from the kitchen. She said worriedly, ¡°Luo Feng has locked himself in his room for the past two days and sometimes forgot to eat the food I placed at the door¡­ I¡¯m not a mathematician and don¡¯t know what he¡¯s doing. Senior, is this normal?¡± Of course it wasn¡¯t normal! Christine was puzzled, not knowing what Luo Feng was doing. Ai Tingya held Christine¡¯s hand and said gratefully, ¡°Fortunately, you¡¯re here. I was afraid of disturbing Luo Feng, so I didn¡¯t dare to knock. You must understand such a situation.¡± Christine heaved a sigh of relief. Ai Tingya¡¯s words meant that she trusted her and didn¡¯t cause any melodramatic misunderstandings. Or rather, Ai Tingya was very happy that Christine could come. Professionals in mathematics would definitely understand mathematics better after all. Ai Tingya made a ¡°shhh¡± gesture and gently turned the doorknob. The door was not locked, and draft papers were scattered everywhere in the room. It was filled with symbols and numbers. Luo Feng was still writing on the table. He did not notice the two people who had quietly entered. Christine picked up a piece of paper by her feet and asked softly, ¡°Has he been in this state for the past few days?¡± Ai Tingya nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. I haven¡¯t seen him stop writing since morning until late at night.¡± Looking at the increasingly messy handwriting on the draft paper, Christine scratched her head and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried? He¡¯s in a strange state no matter what he does.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to be focused?¡± Ai Tingya asked in surprise. Christine frowned slightly and explained, ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s research topic is a historical problem that no one has solved in hundreds of years¡­¡± Ai Tingya nodded and was not surprised at all. ¡°I know, but since Luo Feng said that he wants to make it, he definitely can. I believe in him.¡± Seeing the determined look on Ai Tingya¡¯s face, Christine revealed the same expression as when she heard that Luo Feng was going to solve Hodge¡¯s conjecture. She didn¡¯t know if the couple was too conceited or too ignorant. Was this something that could be resolved with just trust? Christine couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What if this project takes a long time?¡± ¡°How long?¡± ¡°For example¡­ for a lifetime!¡± Ai Tingya was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll cook for him for the rest of his life.¡± Christine looked at the fresh food at the door and suddenly felt that Ai Tingya¡¯s promise for the rest of her life didn¡¯t seem so ethereal. She was so sincere and solemn. Something seemed to have been ignited in Christine¡¯s heart. Even if she could not help Luo Feng solve Hodge¡¯s conjecture, she could let Luo Feng end his obsession as soon as possible. She couldn¡¯t bear to let such a good girl like Ai Tingya accompany him in this state for the rest of her life. The only person who could help Luo Feng now was herself! She had to do her best! ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you for my dinner too!¡± With that, Christine walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side. Upon seeing this, Ai Tingya revealed a satisfied smile and gently closed the door before leaving. Christine walked to the table and looked at the draft paper that covered the table. She cleared a small space and said to Luo Feng, ¡°Where should I start?¡± Only then did Luo Feng notice Christine. However, he wasn¡¯t surprised at all. It was as if Christine had just gone out to take a sip of water and returned to continue helping. He handed the draft paper that he had just finished writing to Christine. ¡°Help me organize it in order.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Only Christine could do this job. Ai Tingya, who didn¡¯t understand mathematics, couldn¡¯t even recognize the basic symbols and couldn¡¯t help sort out the order. However, there was a lot that Christine could do. Christine could also understand some of it while helping to organize the draft papers. This meant that she could express Luo Feng¡¯s research results in the form of a thesis. Help Luo Feng complete the first draft. Even though the current Luo Feng had a lot of mathematical knowledge, he had never systematically pondered over a thesis. His standard was still at the undergraduate level in his previous life. To be honest, he was not qualified. Originally, Luo Feng wanted to take some time to break through the standard writing standards of the thesis. However, time was tight and the mission was heavy. He could only let Christine fill in this shortcoming. The two of them had a clear division of labor, and the messy room instantly became orderly. After Christine sorted out the consecutive points of the draft into an article, she would read it to Luo Feng. Then, Luo Feng would point out the shortcomings, which was that Christine did not understand it thoroughly when she sorted out the draft. To Luo Feng, this was an opportunity to check his thoughts. To Christine, this was an opportunity that could only be chanced upon by luck! She often had the illusion of being an assistant to a Mathematics Master. If she hadn¡¯t seen Luo Feng¡¯s young face, she would have felt that she was doing research with Professor Vincent. ¡­ With Christine¡¯s help, the thesis progressed rapidly. Three weeks later. Christine held the latest piece of draft paper and typed on the keyboard, recording a sentence that Luo Feng had written at the end of the draft. Then, she habitually reached out and asked Luo Feng to hand her the next draft paper. The cold touch made Christine raise her eyebrows. She pulled her hand back and realized that Luo Feng had given her an ice cream. ¡°Have some sweet food and rest.¡± Luo Feng opened an ice pop and yawned. ¡°No need.¡± Christine put down the ice cream. ¡°The deadline is almost here. We have to speed up.¡± Christine was even more anxious than Luo Feng himself. ¡°That¡¯s all.¡± Luo Feng shrugged. ¡°What you wrote just now was the last sentence.¡± ¡°It¡¯s completed?!¡± Christine stood up abruptly and stared at the last row of words. She could not believe that they had really completed it! Luo Feng looked at her shocked and incredulous expression and smiled helplessly. He picked up the ice cream and placed it back in Christine¡¯s hand. ¡°Why? Do you think there¡¯s a problem with my proof process?¡± ¡°¡­No.¡± Christine had seen every step of the proof process and could roughly understand the train of thought. With her current level, she could not see any problems. Christine opened the ice cream and took a cold bite. It felt surreal. Did he really prove the result just like that? ¡°Our work will be completely over after translating it into English!¡± Luo Feng was overjoyed. He could finally leave this room. He humbly asked, ¡°Senior, I don¡¯t really understand the professional terms needed for translation. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to accompany me for a while more.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too kind¡­¡± Christine couldn¡¯t take the responsibility. ¡°Let¡¯s get started then.¡± ¡­ Princeton University in the United States. Inside the ancient building, a sign that had gone through repairs read ¡°Annals of Mathematics¡± in front of an inconspicuous office. This was the editorial department of the Annals of Mathematics, one of the four God-level journals in the mathematics world. A man in a single frame glass opened an email and raised his eyebrows. ¡°A submission from Oxford?¡± Chapter 278 - 278 Rejecting Of The Submission, Just A Newcomers Writing 278 Rejecting Of The Submission, Just A Newcomer¡¯s Writing Editors paid more attention to submissions from Oxford. ¡°FengLuo? I¡¯ve never heard of him.¡± The editor curled his lips in disdain. He opened it and laughed. ¡°Thesis on Hodge¡¯s conjecture? Hahaha.¡± He didn¡¯t look at the rest of the content at all after his laughter. He directly sent the email into the recycling box and sent a standard rejection reply. This matter was also thrown aside like the manuscript. Editors have been in the business for many years and have seen many articles on classic problems. Many of them were trying to fish in troubled waters to gain fame. Therefore, they would immediately look at the name and past achievements of the contributor. If it was a nobody who was studying a classic topic, then this paper was no different from trash. It was only worthy of being mocked for two seconds. ¡­ Luo Feng felt relaxed ever since the thesis email was sent. He was not to the extent of squatting in front of the computer and waiting for the reply. The outcome was very unexpected. ¡°Rejected?¡± Luo Feng frowned slightly. He knew he had miscalculated. He submitted to the Annals of Mathematics for no other reason than their authority. Their editing standards would definitely be much higher. If he submitted his manuscripts to ordinary journals, they might not be able to understand the content at all. However, the contradiction was that Luo Feng was not famous. Speaking of which, his main course of study was finance! If the contributor to the thesis was not a big shot, it would be easily ignored by the editor. Luo Feng was convinced that he was in a dilemma when he received the rejection letter. If he wanted to publish the results of Hodge¡¯s conjecture, he had to be recognized by Oxford and have them lead the way. The problem was that Luo Feng was not famous, and he did not know any big shots in the mathematics world¡­ Wait a minute! Isn¡¯t there a mathematics expert nearby?! Luo Feng thought of Professor Vincent! Christine glanced at Luo Feng. She offered the solution before he could say anything. ¡°Professor Vincent will definitely be interested! I¡¯ll go look for him!¡± With that, she snatched the paper from Luo Feng¡¯s hand and ran out. ¡­ ¡°Professor!¡± Christine ran back to the school just in time to hear the bell ring. She blocked Professor Vincent at the entrance of the school building. Professor Vincent was also surprised to see Christine. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like he hadn¡¯t seen his graduate student for a long time. During this period of time, he had dismissed many people who came with him with their questions. It seemed like Christine wasn¡¯t among them. He actually approved of Christine. She suddenly came to look for him after not seeing him for so long, either because she had encountered a wonderful problem or because she had made great progress. Either way, Professor Vincent was very happy. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± Christine panted. ¡°It¡¯s not me. It¡¯s about Luo Feng.¡± Professor Vincent was stunned. ¡°Luo Feng? You know him?¡± He had long wanted Luo Feng to join his sect. It seemed like Luo Feng was unwilling, but it turned out that he had already interacted with his students in private. Moreover, judging from how anxious Christine was for this junior, they must be getting along very well. A good learning atmosphere was just like a friendly office environment. It could also keep people around! What if Luo Feng was already moved by the friendly senior? Professor Vincent was a little happy when he thought about it. He said amiably, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Luo Feng? Tell me slowly.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be slow!¡± Christine was flustered. ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s thesis has been rejected!¡± Hearing this news, Professor Vincent¡¯s first reaction was, ¡°Did that kid really write the thesis?¡± His second reaction was, ¡°Could it be that he wrote it very badly?¡± Calculating the time, the first draft of the thesis should be out. Professor Vincent had not asked about it for a while and thought that Luo Feng had given up. He did not expect that he would be rejected after submitting the manuscript silently. The professor was not surprised. ¡°That¡¯s normal. His knowledge is still shallow even though he is smart. It¡¯s reasonable that his arguments are insufficient. Tell him not to be discouraged. There¡¯s still a next time.¡± He did not really want Luo Feng to write an SCI-level thesis, nor did he want Luo Feng to really drop out of school. It was good that his manuscript had been rejected. Luo Feng would study obediently in school, so Professor Vincent had more opportunities to poach him. Christine shook her head and hurriedly said, ¡°But Luo Feng¡¯s thesis is really amazing! You have to take a look!¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Professor Vincent had never seen Christine like this. He knew about Christine¡¯s arrogance after all. Why was she so convinced of Luo Feng? What had happened? Professor Vincent was very curious. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the office first.¡± The two of them returned to the office. Professor Vincent made two cups of coffee and prepared to slowly study this matter. ¡°Which journal did he submit to?¡± ¡°The Annals of Mathematics!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Professor Vincent seemed to be hallucinating. ¡°Again?¡± ¡°The Annals of Mathematics!¡± Christine shouted at the top of her lungs. Professor Vincent picked up his coffee and put it down again. He had mixed feelings. Luo Feng dared to invest in Annals of Mathematics as soon as he came up. He had a lot of ideas. It seemed reasonable to be rejected. That was a top academic journal in the mathematics world. Perhaps no one in the country could pass it in a year. Anyone who was published even once could easily be evaluated as a young scholar. Professor Vincent had always been envious because he had never sent it in. Of course, he had published papers in other publications of the same level. Papers were not essays. They could not be written just like that. ¡°Are you in such a hurry because you think his thesis is qualified?¡± Professor Vincent asked tentatively. ¡°Yes!¡± Christine was very certain. Only then did Professor Vincent notice the manuscript in Christine¡¯s hand. ¡°You came to me because you want me to help him?¡± Could this child have been brainwashed by Luo Feng? Wasn¡¯t she always busy with herself in the past? Christine took a deep breath and her palms were sweating nervously. ¡°Professor, you know my love for mathematics. I¡¯m not helping Luo Feng. I just feel that if his thesis can¡¯t be released, it will be a loss to the entire mathematics world!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The corners of Professor Vincent¡¯s mouth twitched. Why was it getting more and more exaggerated? Was this child really brainwashed? ¡°Alright.¡± He was the student he admired the most after all. He still had to give him face. ¡°Let me take a look at the thesis.¡± He really did not think that Luo Feng could write something that could shake the world. No matter how talented he was, an undergraduate student who had been in school for less than a year¡­ was simply a fantasy. ¡°Professor, look carefully. Some of the arguments are more novel.¡± ¡°¡­ Are you looking down on your teacher?¡± Professor Vincent really didn¡¯t believe it! Was there anything he couldn¡¯t understand about an undergraduate thesis? If there really was, it must be a typo! He took the thesis from Christine¡¯s hand. It was as thick as a book. Professor Vincent felt that his attitude was quite good if it was filled with Luo Feng¡¯s research results. However, attitude was not the only thing that mattered when it came to learning. Chapter 279 - 279 A Seminar! What Did You See? 279 A Seminar! What Did You See? Professor Vincent turned to the first page. Today, he was going to catch the shortcomings of the thesis and let his students know what it meant to be the first to succeed! However, Professor Vincent was stunned by the title. ¡°The proof of ¡®Hodge¡¯s conjecture¡¯?!¡± Professor Vincent¡¯s voice was out of tune as he said in disbelief, ¡°Luo Feng studied this?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Christine nodded proudly. After all, she had helped too. Professor Vincent rubbed his eyes. He could not believe what he was seeing. He really did not know much about this, but he had already said it just now¡­ A huge subject like mathematics had already been refined into countless subjects. An all-rounded mathematician had not appeared for many years. Professor Vincent mainly studied algebra, but Hodge¡¯s conjecture was more geometric. To be honest, it was really outside his range of knowledge. Christine was right! D*mmit! ¡°Professor, why don¡¯t¡­ I tell you about it?¡± Christine said carefully, trying not to hurt Professor Vincent¡¯s pride. ¡°No need!¡± Professor Vincent suppressed his displeasure and closed the thesis. ¡°I¡¯ll study it myself. You can go back first.¡± ¡­ In the Dean¡¯s office of the Mathematics Faculty. Professor Vincent and the Dean sat in a row and stared at Professor Jing opposite them. ¡°How is it, Old Jing? You¡¯ve been reading it for a week. Did you understand anything?¡± Professor Vincent asked anxiously. Professor Jing was the one who recruited Luo Feng back then. His research direction was also geometric. ¡°What can I understand in a week?¡± Professor Jing put down the photocopied paper helplessly. ¡°Besides, I¡¯m not the authority to decide whether these arguments are correct or not.¡± Professor Vincent and the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty swallowed their saliva and were speechless. This was really not modesty. Just proving a result did not mean completion after all. On the contrary, this was the beginning of the debate. It was one of the seven difficult questions in the mathematics world after all. No one had a standard answer. Anyone could say two sentences, but they might not be able to find the correct answer. Even though Professor Jing was considered a mathematics expert in the country, his influence internationally was still a little small. In other words, it was not up to him to decide. ¡°The school recruited an impressive student¡­ who went to the Finance Faculty,¡± the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty said regretfully. ¡°Now, it¡¯s troublesome. How reliable is this proof with your experience?¡± Professor Jing paused. ¡°I didn¡¯t find anything wrong. It can be said that Luo Feng¡¯s proof process is very simple¡­ From my personal point of view¡­ Is he really a freshman?¡± ¡°You were the one who recruited him. Tell me how reliable he is!¡± Professor Jing still did not believe it. Luo Feng¡¯s identity also affected his judgment. He tried his best to ignore this point. ¡°The reliability is about 70%! The other 30% is because I haven¡¯t understood it yet.¡± ¡°70%!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was shocked. ¡°How about we hold a math seminar? It won¡¯t make a fool of ourselves, right?¡± ¡°The seminar is fine!¡± Professor Jing was the first to agree. ¡°We¡¯re all busy researching. We can¡¯t make a fool of ourselves.¡± Professor Vincent also needed to hear the analysis of other big shots. Oxford was a famous school that had been around for a hundred years. The reputation it had accumulated was going to come in handy at this moment! With their influence, it would not be a problem to invite a big shot to discuss it. ¡°What if the argument is wrong?¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty asked worriedly. To hold a seminar for a freshman¡¯s thesis, only to find out that it was wrong. If this were to spread, wouldn¡¯t people laugh one¡¯s head off? Professor Jing and Professor Vincent did not speak. They only cared about academics. The Dean was worried about the school¡¯s honor. If they did not hold a seminar, they would bring Luo Feng¡¯s thesis with them when they went out to participate in the seminar. It would just take more time. After hesitating for a moment, the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty made up his mind. ¡°It¡¯s common for mathematical arguments to meet problems! Luo Feng¡¯s standard is quite good! ro be able to write this thesis! I¡¯ll snatch him from you later!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Professor Vincent really needed teammates! The three of them had high hopes for Luo Feng. Professor Vincent suddenly felt a little regretful as soon as he left the office. There was a 1/10,000 chance that Luo Feng¡¯s argument was completely correct. Then, if his thesis was successfully published, it meant that he could graduate early! ¡°That¡¯s not right! How can I take in Luo Feng as my disciple if he escapes?¡± Vincent finally remembered the main point. Professor Jing had heard about the bet between Luo Feng and Professor Vincent and could not help but roll his eyes at him. ¡°I say, do you want Luo Feng to succeed or fail?¡± ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know either,¡± Professor Vincent said sadly. Seeing this, Professor Jing felt that it was better to let Luo Feng decide. It was his thesis after . If the thesis was wrong, Luo Feng would bear the pressure. Therefore, Professor Jing called Luo Feng over and told him that they were preparing to have a seminar and discuss the thesis. The decision to participate or not was up to Luo Feng. ¡°Sure!¡± Luo Feng also needed Oxford to lead the way and successfully publish the article. ¡°Think about it carefully,¡± Professor Jing reminded. ¡°If you fail, it will affect the school¡¯s reputation.¡± ¡°I¡¯m confident!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s eyes burned. He had never failed in this aspect! He would definitely be recognized! ¡°That¡¯s good!¡± Professor Jing praised his courage. ¡°Then the seminar will be in a month! Do you have any objections?¡± ¡°No.¡± After discussing it, Luo Feng left the office. When he reached the corner, Professor Vincent suddenly stopped him. ¡°Professor, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. Professor Vincent looked at Luo Feng¡¯s young face. It was still a little unrealistic. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°I just want to tell you that failure in academics is a common thing. Don¡¯t feel pressured, understand?¡± Luo Feng paused. He understood. Professor Vincent was encouraging him. ¡°Understood! Thank you, Professor!¡± Then, he strode forward without looking back. ¡­ The seminar invitation was sent out on the day that the decision was made. Time was tight for academics, and they had to arrange their schedules in advance after all. Oxford had organized a huge conference this time. The big names in the country were all invited. Almost all the connections that the mathematics professors had were used. ¡°About Hodge¡¯s conjecture? From Oxford University?¡± The person who received the invitation was surprised. There were only a few people in the world who were qualified to study Hodge¡¯s conjecture after all. They couldn¡¯t help but look at the name of the author of the thesis. Was it the one they remembered? ¡°Luo Feng? Who?¡± Different people asked the same question. After some investigation, they heard that Luo Feng was a first-year student at Oxford University. His major was finance, but he actually dared to study mathematics! Most of the people who received the invitation were uninterested. They really didn¡¯t want to attend if it weren¡¯t for their pride. Chapter 280 - 280 Elites From Everywhere Gathers! 280 Elites From Everywhere Gathers! Jian Yang also received the invitation. He was the most famous Chinese scientist among the younger generation. He was also quite a famous mathematical genius in today¡¯s world, having been ranked among the top scientists. When he saw the theme of the seminar, he suddenly smiled. ¡°Hodge¡¯s conjecture? Interesting!¡± Unlike the stereotype that scientists were interested in nothing but academics, Jian Yang had a wide range of interests. As long as it could arouse his interest, he was willing to explore it with all his heart. Especially in the field of mathematics, classic problems were quite challenging. Jian Yang had also studied them before. Unfortunately, he did not get the results he wanted. Along with the invitation letter was a photocopy of the thesis. When Jian Yang saw the book-like thesis, he felt a little nostalgic. This was because he had always lived overseas and had not participated in the Oxford seminar for several years. Even though he had never heard of Luo Feng¡¯s name, since it was from Oxford, he would still read it seriously. Jian Yang¡¯s situation was similar to Professor Jing¡¯s. He only knew a little about the thesis. Some could understand it, and some could not. In short, he did not find any obvious mistakes. Curious, Jian Yang went online to search for Luo Feng¡¯s name. However, what popped up was related to business. The Chairman of a delivery company had the same name as Luo Feng. There were no records of Luo Feng writing this thesis. Jian Yang had lived abroad for a long time, so he didn¡¯t know about the development of the country. Naturally, he didn¡¯t associate the two identities. ¡°Can an unknown scholar really prove a world problem?¡± Jian Yang could not help but doubt. It was too rare even though such situations had happened before. Just as Jian Yang was hesitating if he should make a special trip, his phone rang. ¡°Jian, you received an invitation from Oxford, right? Do you want to join us?¡± The person who called was Jian Yang¡¯s classmate, who also thought that he was studying mathematics. ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet. Who else will be joining us?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going with my teacher, Joshua.¡± ¡°The Professor is going?¡± ¡°Yeah, I heard from the teacher that Gray will be there too.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go together. I¡¯ll look for you after I¡¯m done packing!¡± Jian Yang made a prompt decision. These few names were enough to be ranked among the mathematicians who had contributed greatly to the current era! It was really a blessing to be able to communicate with them! It did not matter how the seminar turned out. Gradually, word spread that Professor Joshua and Mr. Gray were attending. People with the same goals as Jian Yang flew to Oxford from all over the world. ¡­ Oxford¡¯s Auditorium. Today was the day of the seminar. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Professor Vincent stood at the door to welcome the scholars from all over. At the same time, they also invited a few other famous professors from the Mathematics Faculty. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect so many people to come. Fortunately, we chose the auditorium.¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty sighed. Professor Vincent nodded. Originally, they only wanted to hold a small seminar because it was only a first-year student¡¯s thesis after all. However, they were worried that the people who came were not good enough and might not understand the thesis fully, so they sent out a large number of invitations. It was a widespread fishing focus. The net caught big names unexpectedly. When he saw the application list, Professor Vincent quickly discussed the details of the seminar with the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty overnight. It expanded from a simple seminar to a large-scale learning exchange. ¡°Professor Jian Yang, you¡¯re here!¡± While the two of them were talking, another professor greeted Jian Yang warmly. Professor Vincent looked in the direction of the sound. He and Jian Yang nodded at each other. They had exchanged a few words during the other seminars. However, Professor Vincent recognized Jian Yang¡¯s ability. The current Luo Feng was just like Jian Yang from more than ten years ago. Jian Yang saw Professor Vincent at a glance and walked over. ¡°Long time no see, Professor Vincent.¡± ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect to see you here.¡± ¡°Hahaha, of course I have to attend at Oxford University¡¯s invitation. Moreover, I heard that Professor Joshua and Mr. Gray are also here. It¡¯s been a long time since I participated in such an exciting seminar.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah ¡­¡± When Professor Vincent heard these two names, his liver trembled. In fact, he was also very puzzled. Why were these two attending too? 90% of the academics attending this seminar were there for Joshua and Gray. At that time, when he sent out the invitation, it was more to show his respect. No one expected to be able to invite these two big shots here. Just as the two of them were exchanging pleasantries. A car stopped at the entrance of the auditorium. An old man with white hair alighted from the car, and someone immediately came forward to help him. The old man did not look to be in good health, but his eyes were bright and lively. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty saw this and quickly went up to him. ¡°Professor Joshua!¡± His face was filled with respect. Not only him, everyone present stopped in their tracks and looked at the legendary figure like they were on a pilgrimage. This old man was the legendary Joshua, who had won the Fields Medal at the age of 28. What did this mean? There had never been a younger winner than him in the past 50 years. Of course, this was only a small achievement in his glorious life. It was said that Professor Joshua had countless trophies and honor in his house, so he specially left two rooms empty to place the trophies. He had won almost all the famous international awards. It could be said to be a grand slam in the mathematics world. He was the founder of modern mathematics and promoted the development of topology. He mainly studied geometric algebra. Almost all the cutting-edge achievements in mathematics were related to this old man. However, this old man had not appeared in public for nearly 20 years. Some time ago, she heard that he had been hospitalized and his health was not very good. No one expected this old man to appear in a seminar for an unknown scholar. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty had already opened a path in advance to help the old man into the auditorium. When the old man sat down, he was surrounded by scholars who wanted to greet him but were afraid of offending him. They stared eagerly at Joshua¡¯s movements. However, Jian Yang was different. His classmate had become Joshua¡¯s disciple. Even though he rarely personally guided him, Joshua was still very proud of this student. With this connection, he very generously walked up to Joshua. ¡°Professor Joshua, sorry to disturb you. Can I ask you a question?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± The old man liked young people who were curious. ¡°You¡¯re here because¡­¡± ¡°You want to ask what attracted me?¡± Joschel¡¯s reaction was still sharp. He waved at the student beside him. ¡°This is it.¡± The student took out a photocopy of the thesis. The cover was a little wrinkled, and the edges were pulled out. The notes sandwiched in it stretched the thesis twice as thick. It was obvious that it had been read many times. Jian Yang¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. He had a vague guess in his heart. It was so important that he didn¡¯t dare to ask. Chapter 281 - 281 Correcting Mistakes, Your Thesis Is Wrong! 281 Correcting Mistakes, Your Thesis Is Wrong! Joshua¡¯s arrival seemed to be an intermission. Under everyone¡¯s surprised gazes, the big shots entered the auditorium one after another. Slowly, the seats in the auditorium filled up. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Professor Vincent walked into the auditorium and looked at the magnificent scene in front of them with mixed emotions. ¡°Dean, you don¡¯t look too happy.¡± Professor Vincent smiled bitterly. ¡°Neither do you.¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. ¡°If we mess up this time, our Oxford Mathematics Faculty will become a joke. Our reputation¡­ Sigh, can I handle it?¡± Professor Vincent also sighed. ¡°With so many big shots, I have no regrets saying whatever I want.¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty said, ¡°May God bless¡­¡± The scale of the seminar was beyond their imagination. As scholars, it was very enjoyable to gather together to discuss problems and use everything they had learned in their lives to argue. Oxford University¡¯s Mathematics Faculty was very famous in the country, but none of the scholars here had a small influence. If something went wrong, they might be mocked by the academic world for the rest of their lives¡­ ¡°Trust in Luo Feng,¡± the two of them said in unison. At nine in the morning, the seminar officially began. Professor Jing went on stage as the host. After a simple opening speech, he went straight to the point. ¡°Now, let¡¯s invite the author of the thesis, Luo Feng, to report on stage!¡± Luo Feng walked up to the podium. The moment he appeared, the crowd below the stage whispered incessantly, filled with controversy. ¡°He¡¯s Luo Feng?¡± ¡°He¡¯s too young. He¡¯s just started university.¡± ¡°Looks like he hasn¡¯t graduated yet.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s appearance was too young, so scholars could not help but doubt his authenticity. Or perhaps the organizers had made a joke to liven up the atmosphere. There was no shortage of geniuses in the mathematics world. Moreover, many geniuses had become famous a long time ago. For example, Jian Yang had won the first prize of the National Mathematics Competition at the age of 12. At that time, he was also a prodigy who received a lot of attention. However, they had never heard of the name Luo Feng before. He seemed to be a monk who decided to become a monk halfway. It was also unheard of for a person¡¯s talent to awaken in their twenties. It was normal that the scholars did not believe him. Luo Feng stood on the stage and looked indifferently at the commotion below. Everyone¡¯s eyes were on his face, filled with distrust and scrutiny. They were just short of asking directly. Luo Feng did not waste his breath. He did not introduce himself at all. The mouse in his hand slid, and a formula appeared on the screen behind him. Everyone knew that this was the key formula for Hodge¡¯s conjecture! ¡°I believe everyone here has read my thesis. Next, I will use thirty minutes to reproduce my proof process. After that, I will focus on answering everyone¡¯s questions.¡± Luo Feng began to explain. The audience was in a mess, but the hall gradually quietened down as Luo Feng explained further. In the end, only Luo Feng¡¯s voice could be heard. Most people listened attentively. A few people were distracted and were calculating the proof. ¡°I see!¡± ¡°The argument is quite ingenious!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t understand when I was reading the paper. So this is a topological manifold!¡± The sounds below the stage rose again. However, this time, they all turned into surprise and admiration. Luo Feng¡¯s explanation was very detailed, allowing most people to understand the origin of the argument. When they were immersed in the sea of knowledge, they gave up on their prejudice against age. At the edge of the podium. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty, who had been protecting Luo Feng, could not help but laugh when he saw the reaction of the people below the stage. ¡°It seems to be going well.¡± His main research was not in this area. He still did not understand much from listening to the lecture. However, he would look at the reactions of the people below the stage. Very few people revealed doubtful gazes. On the side, Professor Vincent¡¯s expression was calm. It was rare for him to not say anything. ¡°In summary, Hodge¡¯s conjecture is proven.¡± Half an hour passed. Luo Feng¡¯s explanation ended. The audience was completely silent. The auditorium was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop! The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t anyone say anything?¡± ¡°Then does anyone have any questions?¡± Luo Feng entered the answer mode. First, a hand was raised hesitantly. Then, one after another, like spring bamboo shoots after a rain, they scrambled to break out of the ground. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was so excited that his heart almost stopped. Half of the scholars raised their hands! It seemed that there were many questions. Could Luo Feng really deal with them smoothly? When the scholars saw that more and more people were raising their hands, some directly stood up. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty even saw Jian Yang and many familiar faces. There was actually something wrong with the big shots! At this moment, a withered tree-like arm was raised. The owner of the arm was Mr. Gray. ¡°It¡¯s over¡­¡± Seeing that Mr. Gray was also involved, the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty felt his vision go dark. If Joshua was the founder of mathematics, Mr. Gray was one of the top three mathematicians in the world! During Joshua¡¯s decades of recuperation, Mr. Gray was one of the most influential mathematicians, exceeding the other two mathematicians and Joshua. What made the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty even more anxious was that Hodge¡¯s conjecture was in the field of Mr. Gray¡¯s research! When Mr. Gray put his hand up, the others immediately put theirs down. It was as if a newly-grown bamboo shoot had been flattened by a knife, leaving Mr. Gray alone. Luo Feng was still a little puzzled. There were so many people just now, so why was there suddenly only one person left? When he saw Mr. Gray¡¯s face, all his questions were answered. Of course he knew this famous mathematician. When Luo Feng searched for papers, many of the papers he read were written by Mr. Gray. ¡°Please speak.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Luo.¡± Mr. Gray slowly got up. His voice was gentle but old. ¡°Thank you for your report. It was very interesting.¡± His words made everyone nod. No one looked down on Luo Feng anymore because of his youth and treated him as a scholar who had truly contributed to mathematics. Mr. Gray continued, ¡°It¡¯s just that I need to point out that on pages four to six, you give a very clever theorem that avoids some complicated elaborations. But at the same time, you also ignored another problem¡­¡± When Jian Yang heard this, he slapped his thigh. He was thinking about the same issue as Mr. Gray! When the others heard this, they lowered their heads and flipped through the papers. After Mr. Gray¡¯s call, they instantly understood the source of the feeling of inconsistency. There was indeed a mistake in Luo Feng¡¯s thesis! ¡°I see. The Boundary has been ignored.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not the right proposition.¡± ¡°Sigh, what a pity¡­¡± Seeing this, everyone could not help but feel sorry for Luo Feng on the stage. Luo Feng¡¯s thesis had indeed displayed the talent of a mathematics researcher, which resonated with them after all. Unfortunately, his efforts might end in failure. This Hodge¡¯s conjecture stumped generations of mathematicians. Chapter 282 - 282 Lets Discuss The Basics Since Everyone Is Here 282 Let¡¯s Discuss The Basics Since Everyone Is Here The part was pointed out. Luo Feng looked at the thesis and then at Mr. Gray below the stage, as if he had something to say. When the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty saw Luo Feng like this, he looked like he could not bear to see him like this. ¡°We have to comfort Luo Feng later. It¡¯s not easy for him to do this.¡± Professor Vincent snorted. ¡°It¡¯s just a setback. Failures in mathematical research are common. I¡¯ll be fine after a little comfort.¡± Just as the two of them were thinking about how to comfort him, Luo Feng spoke again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. I was inconsiderate.¡± Luo Feng flipped to the places where he had been pointed out. ¡°I originally thought that there were some things that didn¡¯t need to be explained, so I wrote them very generally.¡± He had underestimated the power of the Skill Enhancement Card. The proof he gave exceeded this era. If it was in his previous life, people might not think that it was a mistake. Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°Then I¡¯ll start from the basics.¡± There was silence below the stage. Everyone¡¯s mouths were slightly agape. They couldn¡¯t believe their ears. They had been worrying about how to achieve higher achievement every day. They did not expect that one day, they would get someone to explain the basics again. You must be joking! ¡°¡­ It¡¯s over!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to look up at everyone¡¯s dark faces. Luo Feng¡¯s words were really offensive. Throw a stone in the crowd, any one of them had some form of a small achievement. There were countless people who won awards. Luo Feng actually said that he wanted to teach them the basics! ¡°Oh no, this kid is in big trouble!¡± The auditorium was clearly air-conditioned, but the forehead of the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was covered in sweat. If he offended this group of people, no matter how much the school protected him, Luo Feng would not have a future in mathematics! ¡°Maybe he¡¯s really confident¡­¡± Professor Vincent¡¯s expression was numb. ¡°On the bright side, Luo Feng can continue to study under his Finance Faculty¡­¡± What he needed to worry about more was the school¡¯s situation! ¡­ Luo Feng acted as if he did not see the gazes below. He took out a marker pen and wrote on the whiteboard behind him. Then, the video recorder projected it onto the big screen so that everyone could see it clearly. ¡°Regarding the question just now, you probably didn¡¯t understand my most basic tool. This is the starting point of my proof¡­¡± Luo Feng wrote down a definition. ¡°This is¡­¡± Mr. Gray was suddenly shocked. He couldn¡¯t help but frown as he carefully looked at the row of words Luo Feng had written. This line of definition existed in the paper, but Mr. Gray didn¡¯t pay much attention to it when he read it. He thought it was just a small tool. Luo Feng continued, ¡°If you want the later results, you have to abandon your previous train of thought and start from this definition to open a new path.¡± The definition he used was a tool that appeared under the effect of the Upgrade Card. He could not rule out the influence of his previous life. After all, the mathematical discovery at that time was more than ten years ahead of the current one. However, the others did not have advanced technology, nor had they seen the mathematics of the future. As a result, many people had many questions about it. Luo Feng¡¯s pen quickly wrote on the whiteboard. ¡°Abandon? From the definition¡­¡± Mr. Gray stared fixedly at the big screen and really followed Luo Feng¡¯s train of thought. His frown deepened. He kept feeling as if something was flashing past his eyes, but he could not catch it. Jian Yang and the others looked at Luo Feng¡¯s proof and became more and more engrossed. He also had a strange feeling that he had never felt before, but he couldn¡¯t tell what it was exactly. His heart surged like waves that kept washing away his old thoughts. ¡°This is it! This is it!¡± At this moment, a series of exclamations came from not far away. Joshua was shocked, and his entire body trembled slightly. His eyes looked at Luo Feng, and his breathing became more and more rushed. ¡°Professor, are you alright?¡± The person beside him asked worriedly. After all, he was an old man who was almost 90 years old. He had just come out of the hospital recently and was so excited. Everyone present was worried that something had happened to him. ¡°No need! I¡¯m fine!¡± Joshua waved his hand, his eyes never leaving the big screen. ¡°Professor Joshua, your health is more important¡­¡± Jian Yang also stepped forward to show his concern. Joshua raised a trembling hand and pointed ahead, as if he did not hear his concern. ¡°Jian, do you know what that is?¡± Jian Yang was not in a hurry to answer. He heard Joshua continue, ¡°That seems to be able to achieve the unification of geometry and algebra! The thing that we have been waiting for many years has finally happened!¡± Hearing this, Jian Yang¡¯s mind buzzed. He suddenly understood what that strange feeling in his heart was! ¡°Finally¡­ I¡¯ve witnessed history!¡± Joshua muttered, his eyes filled with tears. Jian Yang also felt the same way. He did not expect that he would actually be able to witness a classic problem being solved in his lifetime. This was a huge contribution to the development of mathematics! ¡­ As Luo Feng explained further, more and more students became excited. They listened until their eyes widened and held their breaths, not daring to speak. They relied on their eyes to communicate with each other. ¡°Why do I feel like I don¡¯t understand¡­¡± ¡°I think I understand a little.¡± ¡°Is this the foundation he was talking about?¡± Some scholars had limited abilities and could not understand halfway. They wanted to discuss if it was Luo Feng¡¯s problem or their own. However, when they saw the excited reactions of Professor Joshua and Mr. Gray, the scholars were too embarrassed to speak. The world-renowned top mathematicians were attracted by Luo Feng¡¯s so-called exclusion. It was enough to show that those who did not understand were not capable enough. Why should they say it out loud to embarrass themselves? However, at this moment, everyone could not help but feel sad. ¡­ Luo Feng spoke for a long time as he started from the proof tool. It began in the morning, and it wasn¡¯t until four o¡¯clock in the afternoon that he stopped to take a sip of water. No one said anything about a time-out during that time. ¡°This is the end of my proof.¡± Luo Feng placed the last stroke. His throat was so dry that smoke was about to come out. The audience was silent. Everyone was silent, as if they were still immersed in the proof process. Clap, clap, clap¡ª The auditorium echoed with Mr. Gray¡¯s applause. Subsequently, more and more scholars stood up and applauded. Gradually, the applause grew louder and louder until it was like thunder, almost tearing open the roof of the auditorium. Even those who did not understand understood that Hodge¡¯s conjecture had been conquered by Luo Feng! The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Professor Vincent were stunned. ¡°Am I seeing things? They¡¯re all clapping for Luo Feng¡­ Mathematicians, are you clapping for Luo Feng?¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was in disbelief. At this moment, Luo Feng had already been invited to Mr. Gray¡¯s side by his student. The old man was old and it was inconvenient for him to move. If possible, he really wanted to rush to the podium to congratulate Luo Feng. That was what Joshua did. The two strongest mathematicians of the current generation surrounded Luo Feng and kept praising him. The others were even more excited, but considering the bodies of the two old men, they only dared to form a circle around the three of them. They were like a group of celebrity chasers! Chapter 283 - 283 Come To Our School, We Wont Treat You Badly! 283 Come To Our School, We Won¡¯t Treat You Badly! The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty could not help but sigh seeing how crazy the scholars were. He might not be able to feel this atmosphere for the rest of his life. ¡°Vincent, what do you¡­ Vincent?¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty turned his head and did not see Professor Vincent. He looked around and realized that Vincent had already squeezed to Luo Feng¡¯s side and participated in this historic moment! The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty hesitated for a moment before squeezing in. How many historic moments could a person encounter in his life? He definitely had to participate! ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve completed a great proof!¡± Mr. Gray looked at Luo Feng in admiration and couldn¡¯t help but smile and nod. He had never felt that words were so powerless as they are now. He actually couldn¡¯t express one-ten-thousandth of his joy. When the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty heard this, he could not help but be overjoyed. Luo Feng¡¯s proof was clearly recognized by the mathematics world. In the eyes of a mathematician of Mr. Gray¡¯s level, there was no longer any doubt. ¡°Looking at how young you are with such an achievement, the younger generation will surpass us in time. Hahaha, I really envy you!¡± Professor Joshua sat beside him. He looked at Luo Feng as if he was looking at his young self. No! Luo Feng has even more potential than his younger self. This made Professor Joshua sigh. When the others heard this, they remained silent and did not dare to speak. Many people were envious when Professor Joshua won the world-class award at 28-years-old. They did not expect that the world was unpredictable. There would be a day when he was envious of others. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty stood at the side and watched as the big shots congratulated Luo Feng one by one. They even chatted with Luo Feng as if they were looking up to him, as if no amount of praise would be enough. The Dean was secretly delighted! Luo Feng was a student of their school after all. It was his honor as the Dean to receive such an honor! Professor Vincent reminded him with regret seeing that his face was about to bloom with laughter. ¡°Luo Feng is from the Finance Faculty, not our Mathematics Faculty.¡± ¡°D*mmit!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty said regretfully. The students recruited by Professor Jing from the Mathematics Faculty had benefited the Finance Faculty for nothing! ¡°No! I have to report this matter quickly. This way, others will think that Luo Feng majors in mathematics!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty wanted to use all his strength to poach him! Just as he was itching to give it a try¡­ Professor Joshua asked curiously, ¡°What position are you in school now, Luo?¡± ¡°Position?¡± Luo Feng smiled in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m just a first-year student. Moreover, I major in Finance. It¡¯s just that my Mathematics Professor thinks highly of my knowledge in Mathematics.¡± Professor Vincent¡¯s tail was about to curl up hearing this. That¡¯s right! It was his unique insight that discovered Luo Feng! It was also him who had used all sorts of methods to turn Luo Feng onto the path of mathematics. To a certain extent, this thesis was born because of him! ¡°Merciful Lord!¡± Professor Joshua¡¯s jaw dropped. ¡°Were you forced to choose finance?¡± Luo Feng did not want to talk about this topic because he was too embarrassed to say that he was writing the thesis to graduate early. He subconsciously looked at Professor Vincent, hoping that he would not forget their agreement. Unexpectedly, Professor Jooshua couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. He stood up and held Luo Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°Luo, I¡¯m inviting you on behalf of the University! Your thesis will earn you a doctorate directly!¡± ¡°Doctorate? Luo! Come to Princeton. We can give you an Honorary Professor!¡± Mr. Gray offered a better offer. ¡°A tenured Professorship plus a scholarship!¡± This group of people started fighting over Luo Feng after hearing that he was still a student. No wonder Luo Feng seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. It turned out that mathematics was only his interest. If he could be fed with good resources, his achievements would definitely be limitless! The person who strikes first gains the upper hand! The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was on the brink of tears. His poaching plan had just been born, but someone had already targeted him. Professor Vincent¡¯s expression was even worse. He recalled that crucial problem¡ªLuo Feng had succeeded. He was about to graduate! When Luo Feng was looking at him just now, Professor Vincent thought that Luo Feng¡¯s gaze was confirming that he was his teacher. He did not expect Luo Feng to be reminding him of the agreement! Moreover, Luo Feng had always been determined not to become an academic. Nonetheless, he would definitely be tempted with a tenured professor in front of him! If it were Professor Vincent, he would definitely agree without hesitation! ¡°Thank you for your favor, seniors,¡± Luo Feng said politely. ¡°But¡­¡± He glanced at Professor Vincent and smiled. ¡°I prefer to stay in my alma mater and my motherland. I have to politely reject everyone¡¯s kind invitation. I¡¯m sorry.¡± He would never forget that Professor Vincent had taken good care of him before he achieved anything. Moreover, he did not lack money or glory now. It made no difference where he developed. Furthermore, Luo Feng had never forgotten his original intention. The reason why he worked so hard was to lie flat for the rest of his life! To freeload peacefully! When the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty heard this, he was so happy that he almost cried. ¡°Vincent, let¡¯s consider giving Luo Feng a PhD title! No! We have to do it! I¡¯ll apply personally! We can¡¯t let him suffer!¡± ¡°Is it very disadvantageous to stay in school?¡± Professor Vincent rolled his eyes at him. ¡°You make it sound like if he can stay to study, who is able to teach him¡­¡± It seemed like he couldn¡¯t teach him anymore¡­ What a joke. Was Luo Feng sitting below listening to class or inspecting? At the thought of this, Professor Vincent was about to cry. The little genius he liked had become a promising young pioneer in the industry overnight. ¡­ After obtaining the approval of Joshua and Gray, Luo Feng¡¯s thesis was quickly published. ¡°I¡­ am the second author?¡± Christine¡¯s voice trembled in disbelief seeing her name on the journal. She would never have thought that Luo Feng would be willing to let her be the second author even though she was just an assistant. This thesis could be considered the greatest mathematical thesis of the 21st century. Being the second author of this thesis was more influential than publishing 10 SCI papers! ¡°Why? You¡¯re unwilling?¡± Luo Feng looked at her incredulous expression and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°No¡­ I¡¯m very willing.¡± Christine looked around and said mysteriously in a low voice, ¡°But I feel that the professor¡­ doesn¡¯t look too happy when he looks at me.¡± She thought about it carefully. Professor Vincent seemed to be¡­ jealous. ¡°Walk your own path and let others be jealous.¡± Luo Feng really had no choice. If he had asked Professor Vincent to help him publish the thesis, Professor Vincent might have suspected that Luo Feng had a fever when he heard that the research topic was Hodge¡¯s conjecture, and would ask him to go to the school doctor¡¯s office with concern. He would just be like Christine, who had just heard the topic. No matter who it was, their first reaction would be that it was impossible. Fortunately, Christine had persisted. Otherwise, no one would have cared even if Luo Feng wanted to find someone to put his name on. With this sudden success, some were envious, while others regretted it. Chapter 284 - 284 National TV Channel Interview, Can I Not Go? 284 National TV Channel Interview, Can I Not Go? ¡°Thank you very much, Luo Feng.¡± Christine was incoherent. ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t actually do anything¡­ I really, thank you.¡± When she was helping Luo Feng, Christine just wanted to learn something. Now that she had become the second author, she was like a golden bowl that had fallen from the sky, smashing Christine until she was dizzy. At this moment, a phone call interrupted their conversation. ¡°Good news, Luo Feng! The people from the National TV Channel want to interview you. They want to know when you¡¯re free.¡± Ai Tingya called. Her happy voice was like a little kingfisher. ¡°National TV Channel? I don¡¯t have time.¡± Luo Feng rejected decisively. He was very busy and was not prepared to develop in mathematics. He had already wasted a lot of time writing this thesis. He had almost put aside all his company matters and spent all day studying. If not for Xie Yan and Cui Kun¡¯s help, the company would have collapsed after losing contact with the CEO for so long. After bidding Christine farewell, Luo Feng returned to the large flat. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Ai Tingya was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. ¡°I forgot to tell you to come home for dinner. I didn¡¯t expect you to be back on time.¡± Luo Feng looked at her busy back and recalled that Ai Tingya had been working harder than him recently. While she was busy with the company, she also had to take care of her studies. She was also in charge of Luo Feng¡¯s three meals a day. It could be said that it was a continuous cycle. Originally, Luo Feng had asked her to order takeout, but Ai Tingya was worried that it was not nutritious. She was clearly not good at it, so she watched the tutorials and changed the way she cooked. Most of the time, Luo Feng was so engrossed in reading that he forgot to eat. She was not angry and silently changed to fresh food. This silly girl might not even know what the thesis topic was, but she still silently protected Luo Feng and resisted the pressure without saying a word. Now that Luo Feng was finally free, he naturally had to accept Ai Tingya¡¯s work and let her rest for a few days. Therefore, Luo Feng really did not have time to be interviewed. ¡°Luo Feng! I heard that you rejected the interview on the National TV Channel?¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Dean Qi broke in and rushed in front of Luo Feng. They actually came looking for him at home¡­ ¡°You solved Hodge¡¯s conjecture! It¡¯s such an honor, don¡¯t be so humble!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was anxious. ¡°That¡¯s right. Your honor is something that many people can¡¯t achieve in their entire lives!¡± Dean Qi also joined in. It was nothing more than giving Luo Feng an additional degree, but he was still from the Finance Faculty. Of course, he had to fight for Luo Feng¡¯s honor. Luo Feng understood what the two of them were thinking. If he accepted the interview, the school would also be glorious. Such top-notch Achievement was also rare since the establishment of the school even though it was Oxford. They definitely had to seize the opportunity! ¡°Dean, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to cooperate with the school, but look at this¡­¡± Luo Feng helplessly pointed at the information piled on the coffee table. It was all sent from Shanghai. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Dean Qi also had bitter expressions. If it were any other student, they could use their status as elders and the Dean to suppress them. However, if it was Luo Feng¡­ Who would dare to be arrogant in front of him? ¡°How about this? We¡¯ll communicate with them and try to reduce the interview time as much as possible. It won¡¯t take up too much of your time.¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty said, ¡°Get this interview done. I¡¯ll arrange the thesis defense for you next week. How about that?¡± ¡°I should be the one arranging the thesis defense, right?¡± President Qi said. No matter how the two Deans fought, this condition tempted Luo Feng. It could save a lot of time by saving the cumbersome graduation process for Normal students. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll fully support the school¡¯s work!¡± Luo Feng patted his chest and promised, looking very obedient. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re still pretending to be innocent after taking advantage of us,¡± the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty scolded jokingly. After settling the matter, the two of them returned home. When he reached the door, President Qi was still conflicted. ¡°Luo Feng is still a student of the Finance Faculty after all. The thesis defense should be arranged by us.¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty rolled his eyes at him. ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s graduation thesis is Hodge¡¯s conjecture. Is there anyone in the Finance Faculty who can judge it?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have anyone either,¡± Dean Qi said. ¡°Who has the right to judge Luo Feng¡¯s thesis?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty scratched his head. Come to think of it, he really didn¡¯t. At least he couldn¡¯t do it himself. Professor Vincent had also gotten over it¡­ He scratched his head, feeling that there was a piece of space above his head. In the past, he was always worried that the students would not be talented. Now that the students were too powerful, it was also a headache. ¡­ The next day, Yuan Yu from the national television station arrived at the interview spot on time. ¡°Teacher Luo arranged to meet here?¡± Yuan Yu was wearing a professional set of clothes. Her neat short hair made him look even more capable. She was wearing eight-centimeter high heels and looked very imposing. She, who was dressed as an upper-class elite, looked at the sign above her head in confusion¡ªGood Me Milk Tea Shop. Yuan Yu, who had seen all kinds of interview subjects, was confused. Why was it a little different from what she had imagined? She was in charge of science and technology news at the national television station, so she was quite famous. This time, when she heard that someone in the country had solved Hodge¡¯s conjecture, the higher-ups immediately assigned this scope to the professional Yuan Yu, which showed how important this matter was. Even though Yuan Yu was not from the Mathematics Faculty, she had also heard of Hodge¡¯s conjecture. Not only did she harden her heart and read basic mathematics-related books, she also consulted a few famous scholars in the country to prepare for this interview. She tried her best to have an academic exchange with Luo Feng. For such a serious interview, Yuan Yu was thinking about the classroom, the laboratory, or even a caf¨¦. However, the milk tea shop in front of her made her feel a little confused. ¡°Teacher Luo, your mentality is still quite young¡­¡± Yuan Yu smiled bitterly. She had made many preparations. Due to time constraints, she had only briefly investigated Luo Feng. In Yuan Yu¡¯s understanding, people who could make major contributions were definitely very old. Academic work required time and experience after all. It was not an exaggeration to describe him as ¡°respectable¡±. Therefore, as soon as Yuan Yu entered the door, she only cared about looking for the older people. ¡°Looks like we came too early.¡± Yuan Yu did not see the person she had imagined, so she said to the cameraman, ¡°Let¡¯s wait a little longer.¡± The two of them walked to the street and looked around. They didn¡¯t see anyone who met their expectations walking over. Yuan Yu waited for more than 20 minutes and kept looking at her watch. 15 minutes had passed since the agreed time. Why was he not here yet? ¡°Did he forget about it while doing research?¡± Yuan Yu thought in a dilemma. ¡°Or did he stand me up? I heard that Teacher Luo Feng didn¡¯t want to be interviewed at first¡­ Could it be that the appointment at the milk tea shop was a secret message to dissuade us?¡± She looked at the impatient cameraman beside her and wondered if she should call him. A beautiful female reporter and a man carrying a bulky camera stood at the door for almost half an hour, attracting the attention of many people. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll give him a call!¡± Chapter 285 - 285 Young Man, Are You Teacher Luo? 285 Young Man, Are You Teacher Luo? Good Me Milk Tea Shop¡¯s business was as good as ever. There were many people coming and going, so there were more onlookers. Luo Feng, who was in the shop, looked up and happened to see it. Coincidentally, Luo Feng¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Hello, Teacher Luo. I¡¯m a reporter from the National TV Channel. When are you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m in the shop.¡± Luo Feng interrupted Yuan Yu and walked up to the two of them. ¡°You two are the interviewers, right? I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t notice.¡± Yuan Yu could not help but be stunned when she saw Luo Feng in front of him. This was Teacher Luo? Judging from his age, he should be Teacher Luo¡¯s assistant. He was not what she had imagined at all. She remembered Luo Feng¡¯s face. When she was looking for him in the milk tea shop just now, she noticed this handsome boy at a glance. However, Yuan Yu only stole a few glances because the interview was more important. Luo Feng brought the two of them to a small table in the corner and asked, ¡°What would you like to drink?¡± ¡°No need. Thank you, classmate,¡± Yuan Yu declined politely. Milk tea was a high-sugar and high-calorie beverage. She would only buy a cup occasionally and take a sip occasionally. After all, it was not good for her to maintain her figure if she liked it. ¡°Then have two cups of fruit tea. It¡¯s healthy and quenching.¡± Serving tea was a basic etiquette, and it was not appropriate to serve plain water directly at a beverage shop. Even though he was not very interested in interviews, he could not treat reporters badly. When Yuan Yu saw that the tea was served, she could not help but feel conflicted. ¡®Don¡¯t tempt me! Why does the science guy know so much about women?¡¯ ¡°Thank you, classmate. Then I¡­ I¡¯ll just take a sip!¡± Yuan Yu was extremely conflicted. She was here for serious business and couldn¡¯t expose her gluttony! She picked up the fruit tea and took a small sip. ¡°!¡± It was super delicious! Yuan Yu relaxed for a moment and picked up the fruit tea to drink tons of it. ¡°Cough!¡± The photographer couldn¡¯t help but cough. Why did she have to fumble the ball as soon as she entered?! Yuan Yu suddenly came back to her senses and wished she could drown in the milk tea on the spot. She felt that her hands had their own thoughts and she could not put down the fruit tea no matter what. In the end, she was still exposed! She stole a glance at Luo Feng. Fortunately, he was not looking at her. ¡°Our shop does events from time to time. You¡¯re welcome to follow us.¡± Luo Feng handed over a flier and remembered the boss¡¯s responsibilities at all times. ¡°Hahaha, thank you.¡± Yuan Yu took the leaflet in embarrassment. In the end, her preferences were still exposed. Her reservedness was seen through in less than three minutes. As expected of Teacher Luo¡¯s assistant. His judgment of people was also very good! Yuan Yu carefully kept the leaflet and asked, ¡°Um, may I know when Teacher Luo will be here?¡± She thought that the person in front of her was the student in charge of entertaining her. Luo Feng blinked and held back his laughter. He asked, ¡°Is the Teacher Luo you¡¯re talking about called Luo Feng?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve arranged to interview Teacher Luo here today!¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Luo Feng pondered for a moment and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to forget to introduce myself. My name is Luo Feng, and I¡¯m a freshman at Oxford¡­¡± Yuan Yu felt the muscles on her face freeze. She opened her mouth and looked at Luo Feng in disbelief. There was only one thought in his mind: Illusion! Perhaps she had stood under the sun for too long just now! That must be it! She peeked at Luo Feng and happened to meet his gaze. She heard the person in front of her repeat, ¡°I¡¯m Luo Feng, the person who is participating in the interview today.¡± ¡°So¡­¡± Yuan Yu was so nervous that her hands were unstable. She took out the interview book and asked with difficulty, ¡°You¡¯re the one who solved Hodge¡¯s conjecture?¡± Luo Feng immediately got into the mood and said very seriously, ¡°I proposed a solution, but the academic world has yet to fully acknowledge it.¡± ¡°May I ask¡­ How old are you this year?¡± Yuan Yu looked at the notes in the interview book. They were all respectful words used when talking to older people. However, when facing young people, she hoped to be more relaxed. She smiled and said, ¡°Are you twenty years old?¡± ¡°I¡¯m still two months away from turning 20.¡± He was still extremely strict. Yuan Yu gulped. She really couldn¡¯t continue asking. She tried to crush the image of the unsmiling, middle-aged scholar she¡¯d created in her head. Yuan Yu found it hard to believe that the youth in front of her, who was ten years younger than her, was actually the Master that everyone was talking about! When she went to ask the mathematical experts, those scholars were quite respectful when they heard Luo Feng¡¯s name. They could even be said to worship him. In their eyes, Luo Feng was an out-and-out Mathematics Master! If it had not been for the influence of those scholars, the wrong image would not have been so deeply ingrained. Yuan Yu was still wondering if she had made a mistake until the interview began¡­ It was not that she looked down on Luo Feng, but many mathematicians who had made achievements could not solve Hodge¡¯s conjecture in their entire lives. What did a student who was not even 20 years old have to rely on? Just as Yuan Yu was feeling conflicted, Luo Feng¡¯s phone suddenly rang. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have to take this call.¡± Luo Feng turned around and said something before hanging up. Yuanyu Music seemed a little excited when she heard the words ¡°Mathematics Conference¡±. ¡°Um¡­ Is this call about Hodge¡¯s conjecture?¡± Yuan Yu asked boldly. Luo Feng scratched his head and didn¡¯t take it to heart. ¡°I guess so. He said that the International Mathematics Conference wants me to make a report¡­¡± Yuan Yu guessed, ¡°Is it about Hodge¡¯s conjecture?¡± ¡°Yes, he said he wanted to give me an award while he was at it.¡± ¡°A prize?¡± ¡°The Fields Prize.¡± Luo Feng rubbed his chin in distress. ¡°But I don¡¯t seem to have much time¡­ It¡¯s so troublesome¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yuan Yu was speechless. Are these¡­ Really not hallucinations? Chapter 286 - 286 Reviewing Luo Fengs Thesis? Its Killing Me! 286 Reviewing Luo Feng¡¯s Thesis? It¡¯s Killing Me! Oxford University, multimedia classroom. A long table was facing the podium. Professor Vincent sat behind the table alone. The fingers of his hands were intertwined, and his expression was extremely conflicted, as if he was the one who was going to defend himself next. ¡°If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have agreed to them.¡± Professor Vincent was nervous and regretful. If he was given another chance, he would never agree to let the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty be the judge. He didn¡¯t even know much about the thesis. He participated in Luo Feng¡¯s thesis defense in such a state, unable to understand what they were saying at all. Wouldn¡¯t that be very embarrassing? What was worse was that Luo Feng¡¯s thesis was receiving a lot of attention from the outside world. This thesis defense would definitely become a highlight in the history of mathematics. Professor Vincent felt that he shouldn¡¯t have participated. ¡°D*mmit, isn¡¯t Luo Feng from the Finance Faculty? The Finance Faculty should be participating in the review!¡± Professor Vincent covered his face. Ever since he first saw Luo Feng¡¯s mathematics talent, he had always wanted to poach him to the Mathematics Faculty. Finally, at the last moment, he remembered that Luo Feng was actually from the Finance Faculty. Thinking of this, Professor Vincent looked bitterly at the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Dean Qi who were hiding at the door. If it weren¡¯t for the two of them pestering him and saying things like ¡°good eye for talent¡±, ¡°carry it through¡±, ¡°we¡¯ve already agreed on it¡±, Professor Vincent wouldn¡¯t have agreed! He stole a glance at Professor Jing, who was sitting beside him. He had never felt so close to a colleague he had worked with for more than ten years. After all, this was not the main direction of Professor Vincent¡¯s research. Everything would still depend on Professor Jing. He would just be a side character today. ¡°Old Jing, it¡¯s up to you today!¡± Professor Vincent gave a thumbs up and thanked his friendly colleagues for sharing the burden. Professor Jing lowered his head and ignored him. ¡°Old Jing, why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Professor Vincent stretched his head over to see what Professor Jing was busy with seeing how silent he was. Professor Jing was holding a pen in his hand and writing and drawing on a photocopy of the thesis. The symbols were messy, like homework that was rushed out on the last day of the summer vacation. Perhaps no one other than Professor Jing could understand it with the enigmatic symbols. Professor Vincent moved his ear closer and heard Professor Jing mumbling as if he was chanting an incantation. He seemed to be reading the thesis outloud. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Professor Vincent patted Professor Jing¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Are you a student who has to cram?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand¡­¡± Professor Jing said worriedly. ¡°I¡¯ve been preparing since I received the mission, but you know what we¡¯re going to face. Sigh, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m prepared enough¡­¡± The two of them looked at each other, feeling like they were in the same boat. With an overly outstanding student like Luo Feng, they were really under a lot of pressure as his teacher. Losing face was one thing, but doubting life was another. Participating in a review that might ruin his entire career was not impossible until he met Luo Feng. ¡°You two, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already found reinforcements!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty, who was leaning against the door, smiled and said confidently, ¡°This time, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s the most prepared. Do you know about the secret weapon?¡± ¡°Secret weapon?¡± Professor Vincent and Professor Jing looked at each other, puzzled. Could our Dean be so reliable? The reason why they were puzzled was not because they felt that they were inferior to Luo Feng in terms of academics. It was more of how many people in the entire mathematics world could compare to Luo Feng? Who could the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty have found? At this moment, the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty¡¯s phone rang. He said happily, ¡°Okay, okay, okay! Invite him in immediately!¡± The dean of the Mathematics Faculty put down his phone and raised his eyebrows at the two professors. He said, ¡°Let¡¯s welcome the secret weapon!¡± The two of them were filled with curiosity. They craned their necks to see who it was. A slightly short figure appeared at the door. The moment Professor Vincent and Professor Jing saw the other party, they stood up in surprise. ¡°Elder Tang, why are you here?¡± The Elder Tang they were talking about was the top mathematician in the Chinese mathematics world. He was known as the ¡°number one Chinese mathematician today.¡± He had once studied at Oxford and was the first person to win the Fields Medal. Only then did Professor Vincent understand where the dean¡¯s confidence came from. However, Elder Tang had not set foot in Oxford University for many years because of some problems. He would rather teach at other schools than return to his alma mater. They looked like they would never interact with each other again. Professor Vincent was very curious about how the Dean had invited him. However, it had to be said that the aura of the number one was extraordinary. The moment Elder Tang stood at the door, Professor Vincent and Professor Jing only had one thought¡ªWe¡¯re safe! Today¡¯s thesis defense would definitely be complete with Elder Tang holding the fort! ¡­ There were still 10 minutes before the debate began. Luo Feng walked to the ground floor of the building. Behind him, Yuan Yu and the photography team were in position in the lighting technician¡¯s dressing room. The team was much larger than last time. The previous interview had failed because Yuan Yu had a mental breakdown midway. Luo Feng¡¯s unruliness exceeded her imagination. Academics were rigorous, so Yuan Yu did not dare to write casually. However, on second thought, she was a reporter, so she should really revert to Luo Feng¡¯s original appearance. Moreover, the title of ¡°Young and Unruly Mathematician¡± was very explosive. Yuan Yu turned around and typed a report to the higher-ups, applying to expand the interview into a documentary. Moreover, she had formed an even larger interview team. Sooner or later, they would follow Luo Feng and strive to show a comprehensive Luo Feng to the audience. Therefore, Yuan Yu and her team followed Luo Feng most of the time during this period of time. ¡°Teacher Luo, aren¡¯t you nervous?¡± Yuan Yu asked. She had been familiar with Luo Feng during this period of time, but she still addressed him as ¡°Teacher¡±. Yuan Yu was still a little puzzled when she heard that Luo Feng was going to participate in the thesis defense. She recalled the scene when she graduated back then. She wrote until her hairs were falling off and she was so anxious that she couldn¡¯t sleep before the thesis defense. Looking at Luo Feng again, he seemed to have suddenly remembered that he had to defend himself on the way. Then, he walked to the teaching building. Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Why should I be nervous?¡± ¡°What if you can¡¯t pass the defense? I was worried about affecting my graduation back then.¡± Luo Feng did not speak, and Yuan Yu suddenly stopped talking. This question sounded strange, as if¡­ as if this question was meaningless to Luo Feng. If Luo Feng¡¯s thesis was not qualified to graduate, then the graduates of Oxford would have to be amazing to graduate after all. Yuan Yu¡¯s worry was a little unnecessary to Luo Feng. They arrived at the classroom for the thesis defense. Yuan Yu and the others automatically walked to the corner of the classroom to wait, affecting the normal order of the defense. She whispered to the cameraman, ¡°Note down all the judges¡­ Sigh, who is that?¡± Chapter 287 - 287 Are You Serious About Your Reactions? 287 Are You Serious About Your Reactions? After the mistake last time, Yuan Yu went back to study Luo Feng¡¯s connections. The camera swept across the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty, Professor Vincent, Professor Jing, and Yuan Yu could all make a connection. Only the old man sitting in the middle of the judging table was unfamiliar to her. She felt that Professor Vincent and Professor Jing respected him very much. ¡°Who is he?¡± Yuan Yu asked softly. ¡°Elder Tang? It¡¯s Elder Tang!¡± The cameraman¡¯s hand that was holding the camera trembled slightly. ¡°Elder Tang?!¡± Yuan Yu¡¯s eyes widened. While she had never seen Elder Tang¡¯s face, anyone who knew mathematics knew this name. That was the name that appeared in the books. She did not expect to see him in person one day! Just now, Yuan Yu had thought that the two heavyweight professors who participated in Luo Feng¡¯s thesis defense valued Luo Feng very much. She did not expect this person to be even more heavyweight. Luo Feng walked onto the stage and was surprised to see the unfamiliar old man between the two professors. He had only seen photos of someone like Elder Tang after all. He didn¡¯t expect him to appear at the thesis defense today. It seemed like he was going to be a judge. This was a little too much for an undergraduate thesis defense. Elder Tang realized that Luo Feng was looking at him and nodded at him with a smile. Luo Feng smiled. He suppressed his chaotic thoughts, his expression changed slightly, and he began thesis defense. He had already given a speech on the thesis before. Now that he was facing three people, he seemed to be familiar with the thesis defense. He just had to simplify what he had done and repeat it. Therefore, it was as smooth as silk from the moment he opened his mouth. Yuan Yu sat at the back of the classroom and asked the cameraman to point the camera at the three of them and record their reactions. In the camera, Professor Vincent¡¯s eyelids drooped and his eyes were lifeless. From time to time, he would reveal a difficult expression, like a hardworking bottom-feeder who was listening attentively but did not understand anything. In comparison, Professor Jing was much better. He could understand most of it, and he knew what he could not understand the best. He scratched his ears and cheeks, looking very anxious. He wished he could ask Luo Feng to speak slower. Elder Tang was the calmest. He nodded lightly as he listened, one hand holding a pen. Was he writing something on the paper? He was especially serious. Yuan Yu had the misconception that the three of them were here to listen to the lecture. She looked at the three of them with admiration. As expected of scholars who were humble and curious. They could ask humbly and focus on learning no matter who it was¡­ Wait, they were here to judge, not to listen to the class. Yuan Yu¡¯s feelings were a little complicated. If the reactions of the three of them were included in the documentary, would they be unhappy? Would they be worried that their current state would affect their respected image? What a dilemma! The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty, who was standing at the door and inspecting, also had mixed feelings. He had long known that it was impossible for Luo Feng¡¯s thesis defense to be normal¡­ Just by looking at Professor Vincent, one could tell that he usually did whatever he wanted in school. He did not give anyone face, no matter whether it was the Dean from his faculty or from other faculties. Now, he was sitting upright like an obedient student, listening to the teacher¡¯s lecture with a dumbfounded expression. There were still reporters and cameras behind him. He had to pretend to be calm. Moreover, Professor Vincent was not the only one who worried him. Even Elder Tang took out a small notebook from somewhere and wrote very seriously. It was as if he had made up his mind to listen to the class from the beginning. You¡¯re the number one Chinese mathematician, so you have to hold the fort! The moment the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty saw Luo Feng, he felt endless worry. He had never been as envious of Dean Qi as now. He left without saying anything. He didn¡¯t care about the thesis defense at all. He shook his head helplessly. If he had known that this thesis defense was so meaningless, he would not have promised Luo Feng in advance. ¡°My thesis defense is over. Thank you, teachers.¡± After Luo Feng finished speaking, he bowed to the three judges. The three people below the stage immediately stood up and actually returned the same courtesy. They were just short of saying, ¡°Teacher, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Professor Vincent bit his lip indignantly. He didn¡¯t want to do this either, but his body moved without permission. It was all the fault of the atmosphere. It was too much like a classroom, making him dream of his student days. The thesis defense ended. This time, the time was much shorter. After the three judges bowed, they returned to their seats and stopped talking. Silence. The classroom fell into a long, deafening silence. After some time, the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and jumped out to get the process going. ¡°Guys! Next, it¡¯s time for the mentors to ask questions!¡± Even though it was already very wrong for the thesis defense to become a class, the camera was recording behind them. They still had to go through the process. Unexpectedly, the three of them still did not move after the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty reminded them. Helpless, the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty suddenly became the host and began to call out, ¡°Professor Vincent, do you have any questions?¡± Professor Vincent rolled his eyes at him. He had a belly full of questions, but could he say them? No! Didn¡¯t he care about his face? Besides, the questions were for the instructors to examine the students, not for the instructors to consult the students. It was fine to ask in private, but not during the thesis defense! Professor Vincent looked at the blackboard and pretended not to hear. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty didn¡¯t expect him to be so disrespectful, so he turned to the gentler Professor Jing and asked, ¡°Professor Jing, what about you?¡± ¡°¡­Can you repeat it again?¡± Professor Jing was very sincere. He also had a stomach full of questions. If he asked them one by one, he might not be able to finish them by tomorrow morning. He might as well repeat them. ¡°No!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty held his forehead. Are you all here to cause trouble? Fortunately, Elder Tang was there to support them! The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty couldn¡¯t help but admire his foresight. If he could invite the current generation¡¯s top mathematicians, he would definitely be able to protect the dignity of the older generation! Let the youngsters have a taste of it! ¡°Elder Tang, do you have any questions?¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty smiled warmly with anticipation in his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± Silence. It was the exact same silence. Elder Tang was focused on his small notebook and writing something seriously. He did not notice the situation in the classroom. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty maintained his expectant look. His face was so stiff that he almost couldn¡¯t smile anymore. He called softly again, ¡°Elder Tang? Do you have a question?¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Elder Tang slowly came back to his senses and looked up at the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty. The dean of the Mathematics Faculty asked again, ¡°Sir, do you have any questions to ask this student? We¡¯re now entering the question segment!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Elder Tang nodded. It was finally time for the thesis defense! The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty looked at his two professors with disdain. He still had to step in at this critical moment! ¡°Please ask away!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty beamed with joy. ¡°Luo Feng, are you interested in coming to Harvard to study? I can give you the title of a tenured professor there. I can promise on the spot that the school will treat you with the highest sincerity. Tell me what you want. As long as you¡¯re willing to come, Harvard will definitely satisfy you!¡± Elder Tang smiled and was sincere. ¡°¡­¡± What was with the poaching at the scene? Chapter 288 - 288 Graduating On The Spot, So Many Certificates? 288 Graduating On The Spot, So Many Certificates? As the saying goes, those who poach others will always be poached. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Professor Vincent had poached Luo Feng from the Finance Department, and now Elder Tang was poaching him from them. Gold would always be coveted, such as the current Luo Feng. Elder Tang really liked him. He liked him so much that he made a promise at the thesis defense. He didn¡¯t even wait to say it in private. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty couldn¡¯t help but wonder why he was here. ¡°¡­Elder Tang, we¡¯re in thesis defense. I mean, do you have any questions for Luo Feng¡¯s thesis?¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty emphasized again helplessly. ¡°Well¡­¡± Elder Tang looked at his notebook seriously and shook his head. ¡°I haven¡¯t figured it out yet. I¡¯m not qualified to ask questions.¡± Don¡¯t say it so bluntly! Alright¡­ All of them were wiped out, and the secret weapon he hired was not of much use. No matter who they found, the outcome would be the same. If he had known earlier, he would not have bothered. ¡°However, I spoke to Professor Joshua on the phone before I came. Now, internationally, I think the success rate of this paper is 85%¡­¡± Elder Tang brought useful information. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was delighted hearing this. Luo Feng¡¯s previous speech was very successful, but the solution to the world¡¯s problems still required a rigorous verification process. From that day onwards, it was said that many scholars had taken photocopies of the thesis and studied it in seclusion until now. This was because confirming the correctness of Luo Feng¡¯s thesis was also an achievement for them. It was also because the thesis was in the research stage. No one could say if it would succeed or not. Now that Elder Tang had brought news of an 80% success rate, it meant that Luo Feng¡¯s thesis had already been recognized by most scholars. Success was only a matter of time. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not qualified to be your judge.¡± Elder Tang suddenly said to Luo Feng, ¡°You did something I couldn¡¯t do, but I still came. Do you know why?¡± Elder Tang¡¯s tone suddenly carried a hint of sadness. He looked at Luo Feng, as if he could see far away through his face. That was a place that someone of Elder Tang¡¯s age could not reach. ¡°Our country has a large population of more than a billion people, accounting for one-fifth of the world¡¯s population. However, our achievements in the mathematics world are not proportional to our population base. Weak strength means that we have little say. We can only study under the rules set by others. To be honest, I also studied abroad.¡± Elder Tang suddenly said from afar, ¡°But Luo Feng, you¡¯re different. You¡¯re still young and can still achieve more. Perhaps I won¡¯t be able to see it at that time, but I still hope that you can change everything!¡± At the mention of excitement, tears flashed in Elder Tang¡¯s eyes as he walked shakily to Luo Feng. ¡°I hope that you can become the center of the world¡¯s mathematics one day and prove to the world! Our countrymen are not inferior to any country!¡± After hearing Elder Tang¡¯s words, everyone present fell silent for a long time. It was not that they did not realize the phenomenon that Elder Tang mentioned, but they could not change it. The country had experienced a special historical change. There were many things to be done and everything was in a state of reconstruction. Many scholars had gone overseas to practice their arts alone. After experiencing all kinds of things in the world and seeing the coldness and warmth of the world, he finally gave up on the good conditions and treatment overseas and returned to the country to participate in development. After so many years, the only Chinese who could truly be called a mathematician was Elder Tang. Even Jian Yang was born overseas and received western education. Some things were already different. His achievements had nothing to do with the country. This made Elder Tang worried. Who would lead the development of mathematics in the country after him? He was almost 70 years old. How many years would it take for him to sit in the classroom and listen to the young people¡¯s thesis defense like now? He had been searching all these time and finally seemed to be getting closer to his goal today. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty suddenly understood. Why would Elder Tang, who had not interacted with Oxford for a long time, suddenly participate in Luo Feng¡¯s thesis defense willingly? In the end, he saw something from Luo Feng¡ª Hope! ¡°Luo Feng, do you understand what I mean?¡± Elder Tang asked weakly, probing carefully. Luo Feng pondered for a moment. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to say that I will definitely specialize in academics in the future, but I can promise you that, Elder Tang, I will do my best!¡± Elder Tang¡¯s eyes were moist as he said happily, ¡°Good, good, good. I was right about you.¡± At the end of the classroom, Yuan Yu was extremely touched. ¡°This is truly a moment worth recording. This is our duty.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The cameraman was enlightened. He picked up the camera and accurately captured the precious scene of Luo Feng shaking hands with Elder Tang. At this moment, they might not be able to imagine that this original photo was sold for a total of two million United States dollars 40 years later, when Luo Feng announced his withdrawal from academia as the number one in the mathematics world. The collector named it ¡°Legacy¡±. ¡­ When the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty saw this, he was so excited that he almost cried. ¡°Congratulations, Luo Feng. You¡¯ve passed the thesis defense. You¡¯ve graduated today!¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty took the lead and applauded. He took out a graduation certificate that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Luo Feng with both hands. ¡°Now, I¡¯ll present Luo Feng the graduation certificate.¡± ¡°It should have been given by the principal, but because of the special situation, the principal can¡¯t be here, so I¡¯ll do it for him.¡± He explained In general, the certificate should be awarded by the principal at the graduation ceremony. However, Luo Feng¡¯s graduation time was special, so they could not hold a graduation ceremony for him alone. Therefore, he could only keep everything simple. The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty scratched his head in distress. He felt that it was too perfunctory. At this moment, Elder Tang smiled and said, ¡°I wonder if I may have the honor?¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty¡¯s eyes lit up. It was great that Elder Tang was willing to help. There was no one more suitable than him! ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you!¡± He handed the certificate to Elder Tang and went to the door to move a stack in. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you with these too!¡± ¡°What¡¯s all these?¡± ¡°The bachelor¡¯s degree certificate!¡± ¡°Master¡¯s degree certificate!¡± ¡°PhD degree certificate!¡± ¡°major contribution awards, honorary awards.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also the Entrepreneurship Award that the Dean of the Finance Faculty asked me to hand over.¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty took out a bunch of certificates and awards as if it was an application for fake certifications. Luo Feng could not help but be stunned. ¡°You¡¯re giving me a PhD directly too?¡± He had come to university with some longing. He had originally wanted to come back to study for two years after the company stabilized and earn a higher degree. He had only attended university for a year and a half even though he obtained a PhD. ¡°Why don¡¯t¡­¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty also felt that it was a little ridiculous. He turned to Professor Vincent and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we only give him a bachelor¡¯s degree first and you be Luo Feng¡¯s postgraduate mentor?¡± ¡°¡­ Farewell!¡± Professor Vincent turned around and left. Chapter 289 - 289 The Documentary is Viral, Who Is This Person? 289 The Documentary is Viral, Who Is This Person? If there was anyone in the world who admired Luo Feng the most, it would definitely be Professor Vincent. He had noticed Luo Feng¡¯s different talents when Luo Feng was still a normal Finance Faculty student. He had played some tricks to make Luo Feng write a mathematics thesis. He was also the person who hoped to cultivate Luo Feng the most. But that was all in the past, what else could he teach Luo Feng if he was his student? The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty smiled awkwardly as he looked at Vincent¡¯s back. He said, ¡°Firstly, our academy feels that your academic level is enough. Secondly, it¡¯s to encourage young people not to be constrained by age and procedure.¡± Luo Feng took the certificates from Elder Tang in a daze. His first reaction was that he had nothing more to study! Elder Tang chuckled and handed the certificates to Luo Feng. Suddenly, he said, ¡°By the way, I came here for something else. Did you receive an invitation to receive the Fields Medal?¡± Luo Feng nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I haven¡¯t decided if I want to go.¡± The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty held his chest and didn¡¯t want to listen. That is the Fields Medal! Wake up alright! However, Luo Feng had actually considered it very clearly. On one hand, it was because he was indeed very busy during this period of time. On the other hand, he also wanted to make it up to Ai Tingya. On the other hand, he did not feel that he had to win this award. His thesis had already been recognized by most scholars in the country. Even if he did not win the award, it would not erase this result. The award was just a label. It was not the main point or everything, so Luo Feng did not value it. ¡°What are you saying? They are so anxious,¡± Elder Tang said with a smile. This child was indeed not an ordinary person. This was probably the first time Fields had met someone who did not want to receive the award. This must be a headache for them. If the person who solved Hodge¡¯s conjecture didn¡¯t win the Fields Medal, the value of this award might be doubted by the mathematics community. Elder Tang chuckled and said, ¡°I¡¯m here this time because I was invited by the organizing committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians to invite you to give a report at the conference and take the trophy back¡­¡± Even though the list had not been released to the public, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that no one other than Luo Feng was qualified. ¡°This¡­¡± Luo Feng was still hesitating. ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t go, I want to wait two years. It won¡¯t be too late for me to accept the award after my thesis receives full acknowledgement.¡± ¡°Is that really the reason?¡± Elder Tang was puzzled. ¡°But I heard that you¡¯re a very confident person. There¡¯s no need to wait so long.¡± Luo Feng smiled. Looking at Elder Tang¡¯s stance, he would not believe any reason he made up. It was better to tell the truth. He leaned close to Elder Tang¡¯s ear and whispered in his ear, revealing a meaningful smile. Elder Tang¡¯s eyes widened slightly, and the muscles on his face seemed to have their own thoughts. For a moment, he did not know what expression to make. After a long while, he shook his head helplessly. ¡°Young people¡¯s thoughts are indeed unique.¡± ¡­ After the thesis defense, Luo Feng graduated on the spot. Yuan Yu followed Luo Feng for a period of time. After feeling that there were enough materials, she bade farewell and returned to supervise the post-production. Gradually, there were some obvious changes to the National TV Channel. Many loyal viewers of the National TV Channel realized that the new advertisement seemed to be highly valued. Even at the end of the usually serious news, the host would take five minutes to introduce a program that had yet to be released in detail. And this program was called ¡°Master¡±. The gimmick-filled trailer and the way the National TV Channel promoted it caused a lot of discussion. ¡°Since when did the country place so much importance on documentaries?¡± ¡°Does the Master also have a national certification? Isn¡¯t it enough to set up a stall? Hahaha.¡± ¡°The preference is too obvious. He must have a strong backer.¡± ¡°Previous poster, be careful not to be banned. How can you say such things casually?¡± There was a lot of discussion about everything. Everyone could tell that a documentary that could be promoted by the National TV Channel must be extraordinary. Because of this, many people were interested. The highly anticipated documentary was finally released. On the homepage of the National TV Channel¡¯s video website, the promotional cover that occupied half of the webpage was especially eye-catching. The curious young netizens opened the video on time. ¡°Electronic pickles. Use them as a backdrop when you eat.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a little unpopular. Those who are here call 1.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the food in front? I was just about to order takeout.¡± ¡°Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.¡± ¡°¡­ Keep it for yourself.¡± Everyone started chatting on the bullet screen before the documentary was finished. The documentary slowly appeared just as everyone was discussing what to eat for lunch. In an instant, the exquisite scene and magnetic voiceover attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The noisy comments instantly quietened down as everyone watched seriously. ¡°What is a Master? A scholar with deep attainments and a good reputation is a Master¡­¡± The easy-to-understand explanation made everyone curious as to who could deserve such high praise. ¡°Who the hell is it?¡± ¡°The atmosphere at the beginning is so serious. It¡¯s not my style.¡± ¡°The Master should be very old. It is most likely talking about an old man¡¯s life.¡± Some netizens were originally here to join in the fun, but the interest that was aroused quickly dissipated. Many people were prepared to close the webpage and play games. At this moment, a blurry figure slowly appeared on the screen. Like the rising sun, a blurry wisp of light gradually became clearer. It parted the clouds and revealed an extraordinarily handsome face behind¡ªit was Luo Feng! The audience, who were about to leave, was attracted by this handsome face again. ¡°He¡¯s quite handsome, but can he be called a Master?¡± ¡°The National TV Channel is also starting to do private work.¡± ¡°Could this film be about nurturing handsome men? Let¡¯s take a look first.¡± The netizens were shocked and felt that they had been scammed. Previously, the tone of the advertisement was quite deep. It could be said that all the praise that could be used was used on the main character of the documentary. Anyone would think that the main character should be a white-haired old man who had made many outstanding contributions. They did not expect an overly young face to appear. Moreover, he was really too handsome. He was so handsome that he could be in an idol feature. However, this had nothing to do with the theme of the documentary. The netizens who wanted to leave did not leave either. They simply looked down to see if this person was relying on his ability or his face. The program went on step by step. Yuan Yu brought the production team and followed Luo Feng for more than a month. He recorded almost all aspects of Luo Feng¡¯s life. It was about Luo Feng¡¯s school life at first. ¡°He¡¯s from Oxford.¡± ¡°No matter how famous a university is, he can¡¯t be considered a Master at such a young age!¡± ¡°I think he¡¯s the boss of Good Me Milk Tea.¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s good to be rich. The National TV Channel has also fallen. They dare to make any film for money.¡± Chapter 290 - 290 Bezos’s Methods, Untouchable Person! 290 Bezos¡¯s Methods, Untouchable Person! The documentary opened and honestly displayed Luo Feng¡¯s excellence. There were not many netizens who bought it. They did not deny that as a university student, Luo Feng was indeed very outstanding. However, he was far from worthy of producing an entire documentary for. He was not worthy of being called a Master. But in the second half of the documentary, the netizens exploded! ¡°Hodge¡¯s conjecture? F*ck, someone really solved it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a bottom-feeder, can I ask if this conjecture is that awesome?¡± ¡°Previous poster, let me explain it to you this way. The person who solved Hodge¡¯s conjecture is the best mathematician in the world!¡± ¡°D*mn, no way. Elder Tang is also on camera!¡± ¡°He went to university for less than two years and even got a doctorate?!¡± As the program went deeper, the netizens¡¯ indignation gradually turned into shock. The comments were even more crazy. Many people who had heard of Luo Feng came out to claim it. ¡°I¡¯m a delivery man of Gather Sift Takeaway. He¡¯s our boss! He¡¯s generous and has a huge year-end bonus!¡± ¡°You¡¯re lying, right? He really is the boss!¡± ¡°¡­ Is he really only 20 years old? He¡¯s running a company and doing academics.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a freshman asking for help. My parents are watching a documentary too. They¡¯re encouraging me to get the Fields Medal. What should I do?¡± ¡°Pull the electric switch! Is that something you can get just by encouraging it?¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve lived 30 years in vain¡­¡± ¡°This is the legendary child of another family¡­ No, the God of another family. This is not something humans can compare to!¡± ¡°He¡¯s smart, handsome, and the boss of a company. I want to marry him!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. His girlfriend¡¯s in the documentary.¡± Master had become popular! Older people liked to watch programs produced by the National TV Channel. Coupled with online publicity, they successfully attracted the attention of young people. A young man in his early twenties had won an international award in just over a year. Moreover, it was publicly acknowledged as a very valuable award. It was hard not to attract attention. Luo Feng¡¯s name became a household name. At the same time, in an exquisitely decorated and secretive hotel, Bezos was having a toast with the big shots of the province. The banquet was very lively. This was the base camp of Amazon. Bezos had contributed a lot to the economic development of this province. He needed to expand his network from time to time in order to develop more smoothly. It was the same this time. No matter how distant their relationship was, as long as they sat down and drank two glasses of wine, they would be friends. After a few rounds of business flattery, the big shot put down his wine glass. ¡°Mr. Bezos, we¡¯re all friends. Why don¡¯t we lay one¡¯s cards on the table? Why are you looking for me today?¡± They were all sitting together after all, which meant that he was willing to help. When Bezos heard this, he put down his wine glass and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. You¡¯re the supervisor of food safety. The online food delivery market is developing very quickly now, so it¡¯s inevitable that some people will take advantage of the situation. I just think that for the safety of consumers, this food safety standard should be regulated.¡± The big shot immediately understood what he meant. ¡°Oh? Did Mr. Bezos discover something?¡± The big shot did not say anything and waited for Bezos to speak. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯ve discovered anything. It¡¯s just that food delivery is developing fast, so the quality will definitely fall behind. This is an objective rule. If we don¡¯t have strict requirements, those people will definitely ruin it,¡± Bezos said with a smile. The big shot gave a fake smile. ¡°Mr. Bezos is really far-sighted.¡± Hearing this, Bezos smiled but did not say anything. He raised another glass of wine. It seemed like it was just a joke. The two of them didn¡¯t mention it again. After sending the big shot out of the door, Bezos slowly heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smug smile. There was nothing wrong with investigating this matter strictly. No matter when he said it, it was a beneficial measure in line with the rules and the hearts of the people. However, it would be a huge headache if it was just targeting a company. Bezos did not say who it was, but the big shot was not a fool. Gather Sift Takeaway and Are You Hungry were fighting to the death. How could a provincial big shot not know? Thinking of this, Bezos gritted his teeth. When he heard that Luo Feng had returned to school during this period of time, he thought that since he was not at the helm in Shanghai, Are You Hungry had a chance to take advantage. He did not expect that he still did not gain an advantage. Are You Hungry had been at a disadvantage after gaining the upper hand for a short while. This made Bezos wonder if Are You Hungry had a short moment of glory because Gather Sift Takeaway had not retaliated back then. The only financial advantage he was proud of was actually unable to turn the situation around. The past ten years seemed to have developed into loneliness. Bezos had no choice but to use the connections he had accumulated over the years. This province was the most developed center in the vicinity, affecting three or four surrounding cities. If Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s development in the province was hindered, its expansion in the southwest would stop. At least he could give Are You Hungry a head start. Bezos had taken this step after much struggle. He had already done this much. If Are You Hungry still did not live up to his expectations, it would be God¡¯s will. Two days later, Bezos got wind of that Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s branch office had an appointment with the big shot. However, he did not hear any news after that. ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case¡­¡± Bezos looked at the Gather Sift Takeaway employees who were delivering food with smiles as usual. ¡°Why isn¡¯t it affected at all?¡± He thought for a moment and dialed Big Boss¡¯s number, wanting to ask something. Beep beep¡ª Crack¡ª Unexpectedly, the call ended after two rings. Two days ago, they were still chatting happily. Why did their straightforward friend suddenly turn hostile? Bezos held the phone and fell into deep thought. Unwilling to give up, he called again. The results did not change. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Bezos¡¯ keen intuition detected something fishy. Logically speaking, if the other party didn¡¯t answer the phone, it meant that he had tacitly rejected it. However, ever since Amazon became famous throughout the country, this kind of situation was rare. He really wanted to know the reason. Hence, he dialed the number for the third time. This time, the other party picked it up. Before Bezos could speak, the other party shouted angrily, ¡°How dare you call me! Do you know that I was almost killed by you?! Is that Gather Sift Takeaway something you can touch?¡± Bang! With that, the other party hung up. Bezos held the phone and was stunned for two to three seconds. His heart was beating like a drum, and there was only one thought in his mind. ¡°Could it be that Luo Feng has a background that I don¡¯t know about?¡± Even a provincial big shot had to back off?! He put down his phone, his brow furrowed. He pulled a file from the bottom drawer of his desk. This recorded Luo Feng¡¯s family background. Bezos had read it many times before he decided to come into contact with the big shot. He was very sure that Luo Feng was only an ordinary university student and did not have a terrifying background. Chapter 291 - 291 The World Congress Of The Mathematicians, Everyones Anticipation 291 The World Congress Of The Mathematicians, Everyone¡¯s Anticipation Bezos was confused. The big shot he had found had absolute authority in the food industry. What did Luo Feng rely on to make him so nervous? There must be a considerable problem judging from the other party¡¯s attitude. Amazon could bring considerable benefits to the development of the province after all. That big shot usually wouldn¡¯t speak to him in such a manner. Bezos could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. ¡°Mr. Bezos, it¡¯s time for the meeting,¡± the secretary reminded him as he pushed open the door. ¡°I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Bezos put aside the matter of the big shot first. There was a meeting about the plan for the delivery today. It was very important. He had to attend it in his best state. Originally, this meeting was to be held under the premise that Gather Sift Takeaway had suffered a setback. Now that their plan had failed, they could only change their direction. He took a deep breath. As he passed the administrative office, a voice inside made him stop. ¡°Little Brother Luo Feng is so handsome and powerful! I like him so much!¡± ¡°¡­He¡¯s the rival of our company, right? I think¡­¡± ¡°What does it matter? That¡¯s a battle between bosses. Let¡¯s not worry so much.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be helped. That little brother of yours pressed our boss to the ground and rubbed him. Are You Hungry is severely incurring losses. If our company collapses, everyone can wait to starve.¡± Bezos¡¯ eyelids twitched and he peered through the crack in the door. The administrative ladies each had a cell phone. From time to time, they would exchange it and talk non-stop. Bezos squinted at the screen of their phones. In the video, Luo Feng was in high spirits. He pushed the door open and asked, ¡°What are you guys looking at?¡± ¡°Boss!¡± The few young ladies stood up on the spot, almost scared out of their wits. Bezos was completely focused on the video. He asked again, ¡°What are you guys looking at?¡± The young lady standing closest to him handed over her phone guiltily and said, ¡°This is a documentary that the National TV Channel made for Luo Feng. It¡¯s been very popular online recently¡­¡± Bezos glanced at her with a dark expression. He took the young lady¡¯s phone and said, ¡°Let me see it first.¡± The administrative lady pursed her lips and nodded, not daring to say a word. After Bezos walked away, she looked at the corridor reluctantly and said with a long face, ¡°Do you think Boss will give me his phone?¡± ¡­ In the conference room, the people who should have been discussing fervently fell silent. They looked at the documentary called ¡°Master¡± on the big screen. Bezos crossed his arms and urged everyone to watch from the beginning to the end with an ugly expression. It wasn¡¯t until the documentary ended that he said faintly, ¡°Tell me your opinions.¡± Everyone looked at each other. They didn¡¯t understand the boss¡¯s intentions and didn¡¯t dare to speak rashly. A moment later, Bezos locked his gaze on someone. That person stood up and said nervously, ¡°This documentary is quite important. The methods commonly used in business wars now are useless against Gather Sift Takeaway.¡± Bezos pinched his temples. This was exactly what he was thinking. Even if he did not have a deep understanding of mathematics, he could understand Luo Feng¡¯s current importance. Putting aside the fact that the higher-ups valued heavyweight talents, Now that Luo Feng was exposed to the public, any unfair treatment would be magnified infinitely. No matter where it was, it would be a scandal. At this moment, Bezos finally understood why that big shot was so angry. He had not investigated properly and had almost harmed both of them. However, a fair competition¡­ They could not win against the other party in a fair competition! Bezos held his forehead. ¡°Tell me, do you have any ideas?¡± What could they do? Everyone was silent. One of them raised his hand and stammered, ¡°Unless we also value talent development¡­ Let¡¯s investigate if there is anyone in our company¡­ who has won international awards and solved world problems¡­¡± Bezos gave him a speechless look. ¡°That¡¯s very well said. Don¡¯t say it again.¡± ¡­ Two years later. At the World Congress of Mathematicians. This year¡¯s attention was higher than previous years. Media came from all over the world. Some reporters who had participated in the previous season realized that there were many Chinese faces this time. In the past, very little attention had been paid to this in the country, but this year, it was like the Spring Festival Gala. ¡°Are there scholars from our country participating this year?¡± ¡°Yes! I heard that Hodge¡¯s conjecture is recognized by the academic world. This is the highlight of the year.¡± ¡°Luo Feng publishes his thesis twice a year. We have to update our textbook everytime he does that.¡± ¡°Hodge¡¯s conjecture was two years ago. I thought he would participate last year.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s because he¡¯s too busy. I heard that his company almost beat up Amazon.¡± ¡°How terrifying!¡± The discussions about Luo Feng in the outside world had never stopped. In the venue, the mathematicians entered one after another. Before finding a seat, everyone gathered in groups to discuss this year¡¯s research results. When everyone heard that Luo Feng was coming, the number of participants this year was exceptionally high. In the venue, the mathematicians entered one after another. Before finding a seat, everyone gathered in groups to discuss this year¡¯s research results. When everyone heard that Luo Feng was coming, the number of participants this year was exceptionally high. Jian Yang had a lot more white hair than he had two years ago. Mr. Gray, as usual, was in high spirits. It was Professor Joshua who was more surprising. He sat in a wheelchair and was pushed into the scene by the students. Many people were worried that they would disturb him, so they could watch from afar. The netizens looked at these people who only existed in textbooks and were extremely excited through the screen. To a certain extent, today was a gathering of the peak of human intelligence. A commotion disrupted their thoughts just as the netizens were sighing. Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted by the entrance. Everyone¡¯s heads turned in the same direction. A man appeared in the doorway. Everyone held their breath. The noise stopped. Crack crack crack¡ª Amidst the excited photo flashes, Ai Tingya slowly walked into the venue with Luo Feng. Whoosh! The moment the two of them appeared, applause sounded like a tide. The reporters frantically pressed the button to capture the grand scene of Luo Feng¡¯s appearance. The bullet screen was also in an uproar at this moment! ¡°It¡¯s Luo Feng! Everyone is watching him!¡± ¡°He¡¯s standing up! We Chinese have finally gained everyone¡¯s approval!¡± ¡°The era that belongs to Luo Feng has just begun!¡± ¡­ This grand event lasted for three days. The venue also attracted the attention of the entire world in addition to the attention of the people present. The organizers would send drones to film the castle where the conference was held every time they entered the halftime interval. The sense of history made the audience feast their eyes. ¡°This castle looks so beautiful!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, it¡¯s so satisfying to be a mathematician. Every year, I go to conferences all over the world. It¡¯s true that I¡¯m on a publicly-funded tour.¡± ¡°I heard that it was held in the university¡¯s auditorium in the past. I wonder why they chose the ancient castle this year.¡± ¡°As expected of the romantic capital. The surrounding environment and the buildings themselves are all so desirable!¡± Chapter 292 - 292 Lets Get Married Here! 292 Let¡¯s Get Married Here! The location of the venue was already eye-catching enough, but what was more important was the upcoming academic exchange for the scholars participating in this exchange meeting. There would be many mathematicians giving lectures during the three days. The duration usually ranged from 40 minutes to an hour. Furthermore, there would be free time to communicate every evening. For many scholars, it was their lifelong honor to be able to step onto this podium. Therefore, those who were qualified to stand on it were definitely top mathematicians. They were all big shots who had made major contributions. For some young or average scholars, it was a great blessing to be able to hear these people¡¯s lectures. However, this year, everyone was a little distracted when they were listening to the lecture. They often looked around and saw the person they wanted to see before calming down to listen. It wasn¡¯t just the people below the stage. Even the people on stage were stuttering. Some mathematicians were like primary school students who were reading essays on their first day on the podium. They were so nervous that they were stuttering. Everyone understood that all of this was because of one person¡ªLuo Feng! This top genius who appeared out of nowhere two years ago had conquered the entire mathematics world with his first paper. He had solved a classic problem that no one had been able to solve for a hundred years. This was also the first time Luo Feng had participated in a lecture. It could be said that everyone was looking forward to it. However, due to the procedures, he had to be the finale and go on stage on the last day. Thousands applauded. On the last day, it was finally Luo Feng¡¯s turn to give a lecture! As soon as the castle door opened, a large crowd rushed in impatiently. Among them were math scholars and reporters. They were like university students who had gone to the library to reserve seats. In the blink of an eye, the venue was filled to the brim. During the live broadcast, the netizens also enthusiastically farmed the comments to express their anticipation for Luo Feng. ¡°¡­ As an art student, I listened to two days of mathematics lectures and finally got to Luo Feng!¡± ¡°I must witness the glory of our country¡¯s mathematics!¡± ¡°How many of you are here to see his face? Raise your hand?¡± ¡°Me.¡± ¡°I want to understand it too, but I¡¯m not capable enough.¡± At three o¡¯clock, Luo Feng calmly went on stage in a casual suit. The lecture officially began. In the two years after graduating from Oxford, other than taking care of his business, Luo Feng liked to study academics the most in his free time. Even though he was so determined not to do academics when he faced Professor Vincent back then, after hearing Elder Tang¡¯s heartfelt words, Luo Feng diverted some of his attention to mathematics. It was magical. Everyone remembered that his main profession was in finance. Every time they talked about this, they felt that it was very magical. Luo Feng had completely forgotten about finance in order not to let Elder Tang down. Back then, he chose the same major as Ai Tingya because he wanted to be with her. Now, Luo Feng, who was focused on mathematics, had also published a few papers after that. Especially in geometric algebra, it became Luo Feng¡¯s main focus. In two years, he had already established a relatively complete framework. This result caused quite a stir in the mathematics world. It also brought Luo Feng¡¯s name to the world. Back then, Elder Tang said that it was a pity that the mathematics development of his country was not satisfactory. He was worried that he would lose the inheritance and that he would not be able to see Luo Feng become the leader. However, now, the top mathematicians acknowledge Luo Feng very much. If Luo Feng was still lacking something from becoming the leader, it might be a beard that had experienced the vicissitudes of life. In the eyes of most people, people who studied mathematics were pure, straightforward¡­ and did not care about their appearance after all. This time, Luo Feng¡¯s theme was to talk about the thesis he had published previously. After many mathematicians read Luo Feng¡¯s thesis, there were still some things that they didn¡¯t understand. They hoped that Luo Feng could answer them this time. As the lecture continued, Luo Feng¡¯s voice echoed throughout the entire ancient castle. Even the live broadcast¡¯s comments only occasionally floated past. Almost everyone was immersed in Luo Feng¡¯s speech. A male photographer found a pretty good angle and clicked the shutter. Originally, this was very normal. Even if the country¡¯s leaders gave a report, they could occasionally hear the sound of the shutter. Unexpectedly, the male photographer raised his head happily, but his smile froze at the corner of his mouth. The usually gentle and shy scholars were now glaring at them as if they were looking at an enemy. The male photographer had the illusion that if Luo Feng¡¯s speech had not ended, these scholars would definitely have come to teach him a lesson. It was because the sudden clicking had interrupted Luo Feng¡¯s speech at an inappropriate time. How terrifying! When the other photographers saw this, they all turned their cameras to silent mode. If they couldn¡¯t, they would switch to their phones to take photos. When it was time to ask questions, many people stood up enthusiastically. Luo Feng¡¯s speech was originally scheduled to last an hour and ten minutes, which was slightly beyond the stipulated time, but this was already the result of his compression. However, there were too many people asking questions, causing the time to be delayed. The mathematicians in the front row collectively sighed when it really ended. They had heard of Luo Feng¡¯s style of doing things. He didn¡¯t like to join in the fun, so he didn¡¯t even receive the Fields Medal. He liked to study behind closed doors and publish papers silently. They did not know when they could listen to his next lecture. After the speech ended, Luo Feng did not come down directly. He smiled and said, ¡°I still have something unrelated to mathematics to say.¡± The people below the stage were stunned for a moment. They would listen carefully to Luo Feng¡¯s words. This was respect and gratitude for Luo Feng¡¯s unreserved sharing. ¡°Before I speak, I¡¯d like you all to be my witnesses.¡± He pressed the button to project the screen, and the image changed to a girl. Ai Tingya, who was below the stage, was shocked to discover that it was her! Those were the only photos of Ai Tingya when she was in the orphanage. She looked timidly and shyly at the camera, her eyes filled with fear. Then, she graduated from junior high school. Her hair was long, and because she always lowered her head to read and walk, only half of her face was revealed. Then, it was high school. The girl raised her bright and beautiful face, confident and calm. Finally, there was the university photo. It was a quiet afternoon. Ai Tingya sat by the window and stared out gently. The warm sunlight shone on her face, and her hair shone with a golden glow. She was so beautiful that it was suffocating. In the end, the photo turned into video-mode and locked onto Ai Tingya in the crowd. Her long hair was as black as ink, and she was wearing a dark red suit. She was smart, capable, and did not lose her feminine charm. One look from her could seduce one¡¯s soul. There was a burst of exclamations from the audience. Even the mathematicians who didn¡¯t care about external objects couldn¡¯t help but praise her beauty. Luo Feng smiled proudly. ¡°This is my fianc¨¦e. Now, I want to do something I¡¯ve wanted to do for a long time under the witness of the entire world.¡± ¡°I specially went to seek the approval of some people just for this.¡± Under everyone¡¯s curious gazes, videos were played on the big screen. Dean Du stood in front of the brand new orphanage building and said with a gentle smile, ¡°You want me to be your maternal family during the wedding ceremony? Of course! I can¡¯t wait!¡± Teacher Yu, who had successfully lost weight, said, ¡°I¡¯ve finally received your invitation. I¡¯ve been waiting for a few years.¡± Professor Ai wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to show it. ¡°Hmph, you just want to take Tingya away from me. Let¡¯s make it clear first. You have to come back and stay for a week every month!¡± Xiao Fei, who was leaning on her boyfriend¡¯s shoulder, said, ¡°Great, I can finally be a bridesmaid!¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s eyes brimmed with tears when she saw the familiar faces that had witnessed their love. Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya below the stage and smiled. ¡°Tingya, everyone is already on their way here. This is our auditorium.¡± Everyone held their breaths and looked at the two in surprise. ¡°Will you marry me here?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Ai Tingya rushed to the podium and hugged Luo Feng. ¡°Happy union!¡± The venue was in an uproar. Blessings in all kinds of languages intertwined as they gave their most sincere blessings to the couple! Chapter 293 - 293 Wedding Ceremony, I Will Always Love You 293 Wedding Ceremony, I Will Always Love You Applause¡ª White doves flew past the window, and the wedding march played slowly. The door of the ancient castle was slowly pushed open. Xiao Fei carried the bride¡¯s wedding dress and rushed in first. The girls from the orphanage followed closely behind. ¡°Ladies, abduct the bride!¡± Xiao Fei ordered. The girls surrounded Ai Tingya and pushed her towards the preparation room at the back of the castle. Luo Feng was worried that Ai Tingya would fall and hurriedly chased after her. He felt someone holding his shoulder. He turned around and saw Lei Jin hugging his suit and smiling. ¡°Groom, where are you going?¡± Before Luo Feng could react, he was pressed down by Yang Bo, Hao Yingqiang, and Ah Li and began to pull at his clothes. ¡°Hey, hey, hey! You want to change here?¡± Luo Feng protected his clothes. ¡°Groom, what are you talking about? There are still many things waiting for you to host at the venue.¡± The three of them hurriedly helped Luo Feng change into a custom-made suit. ¡°Didn¡¯t you arrange this yourself? Why are you so shy!¡± Even though Luo Feng had moved out of the dormitory after graduating in advance, the four of them were still in contact. While they were changing Luo Feng¡¯s clothes, Xie Yan and Cui Kun led people to start decorating the scene. Large clusters of rose flowers were placed everywhere, and the ancient castle was immediately filled with a fragrance. Father Luo, Mother Luo, Dean Du, and Ai Zhaojiang began to entertain the guests. ¡°The setup will take a few minutes. Everyone, go out to the lawn and drink some tea and rest.¡± Professor Jing also came to help. The mathematicians who came to the seminar had never seen such a surprising wedding. Moreover, they originally wanted to continue their discussions. In the past, they had always felt that there was not enough time. Now that they had a free venue and could watch a grand wedding, everyone walked out of the ancient castle and went to the lawn outside. After changing his clothes, Luo Feng immediately entered his state. They began to arrange the venue in an orderly manner. While he had already designated a complete plan and assigned every position to a designated position before coming here but when it was implemented on the spot, there were always some things that Luo Feng felt could be better, so he got someone to modify them according to his wishes. ¡°Yes, Tingya can see this bouquet if it¡¯s placed here.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s that Priest? I still have a few words to say to him.¡± ¡°By the way, you have to take care of every guest at the meeting. Where¡¯s the person-in-charge?¡± Luo Feng arranged everything in an orderly manner. The scene was even busier than the phenomenon. At this moment, Lei Jin walked over and leaned on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder with one arm. He shook his head and said, ¡°You¡¯re already such a big boss. Why do you have to move your mouth yourself? Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± Luo Feng glanced at him and smiled. ¡°How old am I? I¡¯m only going to be married once. Of course I have to take it seriously.¡± Lei Jin smiled and said, ¡°Boss, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m busy too.¡± With that, he walked towards the preparation room at the back. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Ying Shaolong pulled him back and pointed at the sign ¡°Men Stop¡± beside him. ¡°Heh, I saw a few beauties go over there just now. They should be Sister-in-law¡¯s friends. I¡¯ll go greet them.¡± Lei Jin shrunk his neck and could not stop laughing. It was obvious that he had other plans. How could Luo Feng not know what he was thinking since they had played together since they were young? ¡°Auntie is urging you again?¡± Luo Feng smiled. Even though Lei Jin had graduated from university less than a year ago and his job was not completely stable, it did not delay his parents from urging him to get married. Especially knowing that Luo Feng was going to hold a wedding with Ai Tingya, Lei Jin¡¯s family must have undergone a new round of mental mobilization. It was no wonder that he was so anxious. ¡°Tsk, I knew you were stopping me. If you¡¯re a brother, help me and introduce me.¡± Lei Jin¡¯s eyes were filled with flattery, as if Luo Feng was an old man under the moon who specialized in marriage. ¡°I¡¯ll get Tingya to help you ask later, but you can¡¯t go now!¡± Luo Feng said. No joke. He had not even seen Ai Tingya in a wedding dress before. How could he let Lei Jin beat him to it! Lei Jin pursed his lips and smiled again. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you, hehehe!¡± He pretended to adjust Ying Shaolong¡¯s suit and hummed a tune as he ran to look for Yang Bo and the others. Luo Feng could only shake his head helplessly and continue to preside over the arrangements. Soon, the bell of the ancient castle rang, and the various departments were already in place. An entire band was ready to play ¡°That Girl Told Me¡±. Ai Tingya was wearing a white wedding dress with a long train. She held flowers in her hand and the white veil half covered her face as she slowly walked into the venue. A few children from the orphanage carried flower baskets and scattered pink petals. The path they paved carried the fragrance of flowers. ¡°So beautiful!¡± ¡°I actually witnessed it with my own eyes one day!¡± ¡°Puppy love is so beautiful. Why don¡¯t I have it? Boohoo¡­¡± All their high school classmates were present in the guest seats. They had witnessed how Luo Feng and Ai Tingya held hands, agreed on their future, and walked towards it. Their classmates looked at the two of them enviously. They all knew that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had joined forces and had a successful career when they were in university. And now, the two of them were walking into the marriage hall hand in hand, like an immortal couple. The dog food they had eaten in the past had become abnormally sweet at this moment. It was worth reminiscing about. ¡°It¡¯s so awesome, Miaomiao, don¡¯t you think so?¡± In the corner, a girl said to the golden-haired Xing Miaomiao. The two of them were best friends in high school, but they were estranged after university. They were sitting together now because they both had a common secret. Xing Miaomiao was very unhappy. Luo Feng liked Xing Miaomiao previously after all. The entire class knew that. However, after Luo Feng and Ai Tingya got together, their happiness was enough to overwrite their previous memories. No one remembered this anymore. Luo Feng¡¯s company had been on the news many times when she was in university. Xing Miaomiao had mentioned more than once that Luo Feng was her pursuer in order to save face in front of her roommates. She had developed an inexplicable obsession as she continued this lie. Now that she saw how happy Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were, she suddenly felt like she was being torn apart. ¡°If I had known¡­ If I had known, I would have treated him better in high school!¡± Xing Miaomiao downed her wine. And now, the regret in her heart drowned out her jealousy of Ai Tingya. Actually, what she did not know was that she was really together with Luo Feng in his previous life. However, later on, Xing Miaomiao made a decision that Luo Feng could not accept because of various factors. Luo Feng would not look at her again even if she poured her heart out to him in this life. ¡°Bride, are you willing to marry the gentleman in front of you? Stay together be it in poverty, wealth, illness, or health, love each other and never leave each other?¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing.¡± ¡°Groom, are you willing to marry the lady in front of you, cherish her and love her regardless of fortune or misfortune?¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing. I¡¯ll love her until I die!¡± Chapter 294 - 294 What Should I Do If My Son Is Too Enthusiastic? 294 What Should I Do If My Son Is Too Enthusiastic? The wedding went very smoothly. The roses that were flown in covered the entire castle. The cold and serious academic scene instantly became romantic and gentle. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya took their vows in the sea of flowers and stepped into the hall of happiness under the witness of their relatives. ¡°Luo Feng did not only have outstanding academic achievements, he¡¯s also a very artistic person. What a touching wedding.¡± ¡°The two newbies are as dazzling as celebrities. It¡¯s really pleasing to the eye.¡± ¡°There will be more surprises like this in the future. I like it very much.¡± The American merchants, who were quite accomplished in mathematics, were also quite taken. They clicked their tongues in wonder at the wedding Luo Feng had prepared. ¡°Next, bride and groom, please exchange your rings,¡± the Priest said. Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and gently put on the ring. He looked at Ai Tingya gently and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, ¡°Tingya, one of my two dreams has finally been fulfilled today. Thank you.¡± When Ai Tingya, who was originally immersed in happiness, heard this, she asked, ¡°Then what¡¯s your other dream?¡± Luo Feng chuckled and did not say anything. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder and kissed her domineeringly. ¡°Wow!¡± Cheers sounded at the scene. Even the Priest could not help but look away. ¡°The groom is too excited and can¡¯t wait to exchange rings.¡± Ai Tingya was caught off guard. Her face was so hot that it was about to burn. Her lips and teeth were blocked by Luo Feng. The fresh air refused to participate in the passionate kiss. When Luo Feng finally let go of Ai Tingya, she was too busy panting to ask further. ¡°I¡¯ve put on the ring myself.¡± Luo Feng raised his right hand. When he kissed Ai Tingya just now, he did not forget to pass his finger through the ring. God knew how long he had waited for this moment. They were already engaged four years ago after all. Luo Feng had waited for four years¡­ No! He had been waiting since his previous life and now he was finally a married couple with Ai Tingya. ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡± Ai Tingya was angry and embarrassed. She gently punched Luo Feng¡¯s chest. ¡°Let us congratulate this pair of newlyweds.¡± The Priest had completely become the background. He saw that this pair of newlyweds was so sensible and did not need his help to go through the process. He directly bowed. Whoosh! The applause was accompanied by the sound of cannon salutes. Everyone watching the ceremony was Infested by happiness, and their faces were filled with an aunty smile. ¡°What¡¯s your other dream?¡± Ai Tingya leaned on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder and asked softly. ¡°Can you tell me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not enough to just tell you. Only you can participate.¡± Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s veil and kissed her gently. Luo Feng had been busy ever since he graduated early. He had completed many things in the past four years. Moving Gather Sift Takeaway from the school to Shanghai and defeating Are You Hungry to withdraw from the entire country. It was already the number one takeaway brand in the country. In addition, the headquarters of Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop had also moved to Shanghai. There were already 5,000 chain stores that radiated to all the cities in the country. In a certain sense, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had undoubtedly succeeded. However, Luo Feng felt that it was far from enough. His initial dream was to invest in Ai Tingya and rely on her to freeload! That¡¯s right, he had such ambitions. Previously, Luo Feng did not want to delay Ai Tingya¡¯s studies because she was still in school. Now that the two of them had graduated, this was the beginning of her showcasing her strength! ¡°Okay.¡± Ai Tingya buried her face in Luo Feng¡¯s neck. ¡°I want to participate in everything about you in the future.¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t ask for more.¡± The band played melodious music, and white pigeons fluttered outside the window. Everyone was touched to tears for the couple. Luo Feng was a legendary name. He held a lecture at the age of 23 and had a profound impact on the future development of mathematics. It was also on the same day that he married the girl he loved. The true Legend had just begun! ¡­ ¡°Aiyo, this castle is too beautiful! It¡¯s indeed different with its historical foundations.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like a television drama. The last-minute scene just can¡¯t compare to this real material.¡± ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s mother, you¡¯re too lucky. Your son and daughter-in-law are so promising. The place where the wedding is held is not something ordinary people can compare to.¡± In the evening, a group of old aunties gathered together and clicked their tongues in wonder at the video being played. Mother Luo stood at the side. Her hand that was half covering her mouth could not stop her teeth from flying from laughing. She was radiant and could not stop smiling when she was praised by her sisters. ¡°Young people like to do such fancy things,¡± Mother Luo said humbly. ¡°But it¡¯s indeed fresh and beautiful.¡± Even though they had already sold the old house, Mother Luo had danced square dance in the old neighborhood for more than a decade. She was still not used to changing places, so she would run back to play with her sisters when she was free. This was another opportunity to show off her son¡¯s romantic and luxurious wedding. Even though almost a week had passed, Mother Luo¡¯s novelty had yet to pass. The few of them were chatting so happily that they completely forgot to dance together. ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s mother, you¡¯re so lucky. Everyone has ordered takeaway before now. Every time my grandson places an order, I¡¯ll tell him that this is Big Brother Luo Feng¡¯s company and get him to treat Little Feng as a role model,¡± an old sister praised. With Luo Feng¡¯s current businesses, the entire street benefited. Two days ago, Father Luo¡¯s factory had even looked for the two of them, wanting them to hold a lecture and teach the parents about raising children. This lecture lasted for two to three years and had become a fixed annual program. ¡°With Little Feng¡¯s current stance, I guess his business has to go overseas.¡± Another old sister flattered. At this point, Mother Luo suddenly sighed. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s impossible to go overseas.¡± She suddenly looked up at the sky, looking a little sad. ¡°Last time, Little Feng told me that the company¡¯s development is stable. He¡¯s preparing to let go.¡± ¡°Huh? He¡¯s not doing it anymore?¡± The old sisters were surprised. ¡°Is he in trouble?¡± ¡°No, he said that he wants to challenge a new industry and doesn¡¯t want to fight to the death with takeaways.¡± Mother Luo shook her head, looking very worried. ¡°This is a good thing. Luo Feng¡¯s mother, you should be happy that Little Feng is so motivated.¡± The older sister was extremely envious. She was hoping that her unlucky child could be half as promising and half as ambitious as Luo Feng, so that they did not have to worry about the rest of their lives. ¡°But this is very tiring,¡± Mother Luo said. The older sister did not know if she was really worried or showing off after hearing this. So what if he¡¯s a little tired? Shouldn¡¯t you be worried that things wouldn¡¯t go smoothly? Are you so sure that Luo Feng knows what he¡¯s doing? They exchanged glances. An old sister suddenly asked, ¡°Speaking of which, Luo Feng¡¯s mother, is your family¡¯s education lecture still held this year?¡± ¡°Yes, the day after tomorrow,¡± Mother Luo said. ¡°I have nothing to do anyway.¡± When they heard this, they stopped dancing and gossiping. They stood up and packed their things. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Mother Luo asked in confusion. The few of them said as they walked, ¡°Needless to say, we¡¯re going back and revising your previous lecture. See you the day after tomorrow!¡± What a joke! They had to master Mother Luo¡¯s parenting experience and figure out how to nurture a promising and motivated child like Luo Feng! Chapter 295 - 295 New Industry, Cultivating Internet Celebrity Livestreamers To Sell Goods! 295 New Industry, Cultivating Internet Celebrity Livestreamers To Sell Goods! Just as Mother Luo had said, Luo Feng was prepared to change professions and create glory again! Otherwise, it would be a waste of an opportunity for him to be reborn with his previous life¡¯s memories and only be in the beverage and takeaway industries. Moreover, in this life, Ai Tingya was only leading one brand of milk tea in the country. Being the General Manager of Good Me Milk Tea Headquarters was far inferior to her achievements in her previous life. If this continued, how long would it take for Luo Feng to be able to live off her? No, he had to spur Ai Tingya on. He could not let her be content with the current situation. However, there was a problem in front of him now¡ªwhich industry should he change to? ¡°Hey, what are you thinking about?¡± Xie Yan brought over a cup of coffee and interrupted Luo Feng¡¯s train of thought. ¡°I heard from my assistant that you skipped work again today and couldn¡¯t find you anywhere. I knew you were hiding here.¡± He should not have interrupted Luo Feng. This was because he knew that Luo Feng was holding back his ultimate move every time he was deep in thought according to his previous experience. However, Xie Yan realized that ever since Luo Feng returned from his marriage, he had become less and less concerned about the company. He would only pretend to be serious about work when Ai Tingya came to the company and spend the rest of the time lazing around. Even though they no longer had any opponents in the takeaway industry, the market was constantly changing. They could not let their guard down. ¡°What¡¯s so good about the report summary? I¡¯m tired of hearing how much of an increase this has experienced quarter-on-quarter.¡± Luo Feng did not care. It would be worth his time to listen to the reports only when they report a loss. Hearing this, Xie Yan lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. Even though he had worked with Luo Feng for almost four years, he still could not understand Luo Feng¡¯s personality. Many times, he suspected that Luo Feng was doing business just to increase employment and make contributions to society. ¡°Then what do you want to hear about? A collaboration?¡± Xie Yan thought of something. ¡°By the way, I¡¯ve already gotten someone to invite Bezos from Amazon a few times. It seems that he wants to work together. I¡¯ve rejected him for you.¡± ¡°Bezos?¡± Luo Feng had not heard this name for a long time. Are You Hungry had been defeated and almost kicked out of the market ever since the takeaway subsidy battle. This name had never appeared in Luo Feng¡¯s ears again. He even thought about who Bezos was when Xie Yan suddenly mentioned him. ¡°Does he want to work with us?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Do you want to meet for a meal? I can arrange it,¡± Xie Yan said. Luo Feng blinked and looked at Xie Yan, then at the ceiling. Suddenly, he had an idea and snapped his fingers. He smiled and said, ¡°Yes! Of course I have to agree! I have a big deal to discuss with him!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Xie Yan was also very curious about Luo Feng¡¯s big deal. ¡°I¡¯ll contact him immediately!¡± In this world, there were no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. Previously, the two takeaways had been fighting until their heads were bleeding. This did not stop them from admiring each other. The new industry that Luo Feng had conceived could hitch a ride on the Amazon¡¯s ship. ¡°I heard that you have a big deal to discuss with Amazon¡¯s Bezos?¡± Not long after, Ai Tingya appeared at the headquarters of Gather Sift Takeaway. At this time, she had already graduated from Oxford. She had shed her youthful long dresses and tied up her long silk-like hair. She was wearing a professional short skirt that fit her figure and five centimeters high heels. Her strong aura was revealed. The employees were attracted by her beauty and were awed by her temperament. They wanted to look but did not dare to look further. ¡°Come, sit.¡± Luo Feng thoughtfully pulled out a stool. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Xie Yan told me that you were up to something big, so I came.¡± Ai Tingya grinned and turned into the playful little girl again. ¡°Why? You don¡¯t welcome me?¡± Luo Feng cleared his throat and pretended to be serious. ¡°Of course. Even though we¡¯re in a cooperative relationship, it seems a little too close for comfort. The employees will gossip. I¡¯m already a family man. It¡¯s better to keep my distance.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Ai Tingya covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t laugh. I love my wife very much.¡± Luo Feng was addicted to acting. ¡°Even though you¡¯re also very beautiful, my heart can only accommodate my wife.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so¡­¡± Ai Tingya cooperated. ¡°Then forget it. But shouldn¡¯t you reveal some trade secrets and compensate me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a small matter.¡± Luo Feng dragged the whiteboard over and picked up a pen to write the words ¡°Internet celebrity live streaming¡±. ¡°What does it mean?¡± Ai Tingya seemed to not understand. In the four years they had been studying, the Internet had developed at an amazing speed! There were already Internet celebrities. They were different from celebrities. They did not have loud singing voices, engrossing acting skills, or even beautiful appearances. It might be because of something that looked ordinary. They were known to the public because it was too widespread. This was the first generation Internet celebrity. Ai Tingya knew about the ¡°internet celebrity¡±, but what was a livestream? ¡°What do you want the Internet celebrity to livestream?¡± Ai Tingya asked. ¡°In summary, ¡®attract attention¡¯!¡± Luo Feng said. Ai Tingya still did not understand. Knock, knock Coincidentally, Xie Yan pushed the door open and entered. He was not surprised to see Ai Tingya, as if she was also an employee of the company. ¡°Boss, the arrangement has been done.¡± Xie Yan waved his phone and said, ¡°Tomorrow night. Do you think the time is okay?¡± ¡°Anytime.¡± Luo Feng nodded. He pressed Xie Yan down and sat at the table. ¡°You¡¯re here too. Listen to my prospects for the new industry.¡± He looked at the confused expressions of the two people below and felt that he had to get the technicians to join. Therefore, he stopped the employee passing by the door and asked Cui Kun over too. ¡°Everyone can see the development of the Internet now! In the future, the Internet will become an indispensable part of consumer life. Shopping, eating, and these daily lives will rely on the Internet!¡± Luo Feng explained. Bezos¡¯ Amazon was already the largest shopping website in the country, let alone the future. The three of them nodded, indicating that they understood. ¡°The Internet will also become a new star-making platform! As long as it¡¯s run well, we can obtain a large number of fans even without singing or acting! When we have a fan base, we can livestream and sell goods!¡± Luo Feng said frankly. In his previous life, some Internet celebrities led a better life than celebrities. They relied on live broadcasts to sell things and got their entire family and even their entire town to soar into the sky! It sounded a little unbelievable now. The three people below were clearly still a little hesitant. Xie Yan raised his hand and said, ¡°In other words, if we want to nurture celebrities to sell things on the Internet, it¡¯s equivalent to being an endorsement, right? Then why don¡¯t we just look for celebrities?¡± ¡°Good question!¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Because it¡¯s easy to fail if you look for celebrities directly. Moreover, it¡¯s not challenging!¡± How could he get a kickback if the celebrities manage to sell goods in one shot?! Since he wanted to nurture them, he had to start from scratch. Luo Feng had to spend their salary, training fees, clothes, publicity fees, and so on before he felt comfortable! Chapter 296 - 296 Coincidentally Meeting An Acquaintance, Join My Company To Be A Celebrity! 296 Coincidentally Meeting An Acquaintance, Join My Company To Be A Celebrity! ¡°Actually, an Internet celebrity¡¯s live broadcast is similar to television shopping nowadays. Let an influential Internet celebrity with a good fan base introduce a product function and try it in front of the camera to attract customers to buy it.¡± Luo Feng made a simple conclusion. Xie Yan and Ai Tingya understood what he meant. Cui Kun pushed his glasses up and seemed to understand. ¡°Boss, what you¡¯re saying has nothing to do with me, right?¡± He was mainly in charge of the technology behind it, but according to Luo Feng¡¯s current words, he only needed to find a website that could broadcast videos. He did not need professional methods like cloud computing at all. Thinking that there were still a large number of bugs waiting to be fixed, Cui Kun only wanted to end his meeting and go back to staring at the codes. ¡°Of course it¡¯s related,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°The work you¡¯re in charge of is focused on the later stages, but as a technician, you have to know what we¡¯re doing, right?¡± Cui Kun nodded. ¡°I understand. We¡¯re on standby.¡± With that, he left the conference room without looking back. ¡°Is this why we want to work with Bezos?¡± Xie Yan walked to the whiteboard and pinched his chin thoughtfully. ¡°Of course. Are you free tonight?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°No.¡± Xie Yan spread his hands. ¡°There¡¯s a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. I can¡¯t leave.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll go with Tingya tonight. Just settle the work in your hands,¡± Luo Feng said. If he tried a new industry, he would have to find another person in charge. Xie Yan just started managing Gather Sift Takeaway well. After all, Luo Feng would not be a black-hearted boss. He would definitely not only hire one person for a job that could be done by two people. ¡­ The next night. Marriott Hotel. A Ferrari stopped at the door. Two discerning waiters immediately went up to welcome it. One opened the car door, took the car keys with both hands, and drove to the parking lot. The other bowed respectfully. ¡°Mr. Luo, Miss Ai, right? Mr. Bezos is on the second floor. Please follow me.¡± The waiter led the two of them upstairs. During this period, guests kept sized up the two of them. Luo Feng was wearing a custom-made suit and a blue silk scarf. He was low-key and amiable. Ai Tingya was wearing a lake-blue dress. It was easy on the eye but formal. The two outstanding-looking and well-matched people were very eye-catching when they stood together. It was no wonder that the passersby wanted to take a few more glances. ¡°Could they be celebrities? They¡¯re so compatible!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen them before. From their ages, they¡¯re probably preparing to debut.¡± ¡°I heard that too. The Marriott Hotel is often patronized by entertainment companies. I think they¡¯re here for that.¡± Whispers kept reaching Luo Feng and Ai Tingya¡¯s ears. In the past, Ai Tingya would blush and avoid all gazes, but now, she was generous. She would not deliberately publicize her beauty, nor would she avoid all gazes. ¡°You have the poise of a female boss now.¡± Luo Feng smiled and secretly touched Ai Tingya¡¯s nose. ¡°Nonsense.¡± Ai Tingya wrinkled her nose. ¡°We¡¯re about to arrive. Be serious.¡± A commotion attracted everyone¡¯s attention as they walked out of the elevator. That was the place Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were going to pass. The waiter looked troubled and squeezed out a smile. ¡°Please wait a moment. I¡¯ll go take a look first.¡± He did not know the exact identities of Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, but since they were guests invited by the CEO of the Amazon, Bezos, they must be very noble. It would be bad if they bumped into each other or were offended. Luo Feng nodded and told him to go quickly while he stood at the side with Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya stood on her tiptoes curiously and widened her eyes. ¡°I heard the sound of something being smashed. It sounded like a fight.¡± She was like a curious baby. She grabbed the corner of Luo Feng¡¯s shirt with one hand and tried her best to prop her body up, wanting to see further. Luo Feng simply grabbed her waist and lifted her up. Ai Tingya suddenly raised her gaze and instantly struggled. She slapped the back of Luo Feng¡¯s hand with both hands and asked him to quickly put her down. ¡°Seriously, you scared me!¡± Ai Tingya glared at Luo Feng and said angrily, ¡°What if someone sees us? It¡¯ll be embarrassing.¡± Luo Feng looked at her shy appearance and found her very cute. He stared at her intently and could not get enough of her. At this moment, a rough voice came from the chaotic crowd, cursing as it approached. The two of them looked in the direction of the sound. A round fatty pushed everyone away and walked towards them with a dark expression. He had a reflective hairstyle, and his comma-like beard twitched as his lips moved, like a dancing tadpole. Luo Feng stared at him and felt that he looked familiar. ¡°How unlucky. A group of ingrates. Who do you think made you famous back then?! Now that you¡¯re rich, you¡¯re turning your backs on me? I¡­¡± The fatty scolded as he walked. He raised his hand that was holding the small mirror and raised his little finger. He walked in front of Luo Feng and the other man and suddenly stopped. His eyes widened and he stood rooted to the ground. ¡°Ai Tingya?!¡± The fatty called out Ai Tingya¡¯s name. ¡°You know me?¡± Ai Tingya tilted her head and felt that the fatty looked a little familiar. ¡°It¡¯s me, Yang Tianzhen. Do you remember that I brought people to perform at your orphanage¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve party one year.¡± Yang Tianzhen pointed at Luo Feng and said, ¡°He even wrote a song for you.¡± When he said this, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya immediately had an impression. In the past, Yang Tianzhen, who wanted to promote Ai Tingya and buy the song ¡°That Girl Talks to Me¡±, after not seeing each other for a few years, Luo Feng heard that he had unearthed a few newbies with great potential and promoted them to popular celebrities. They became legendary managers in the entertainment industry and were quite respected. Why would he have an argument with someone in the hotel? ¡°Long time no see, Uncle Yang. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± Ai Tingya also remembered. Then, she took out a tissue and handed it to Yang Tianzhen. ¡°Speaking of which, what happened?¡± Yang Tianzhen pressed down on the wound and gritted her teeth. ¡°I was a little unlucky and encountered a few ungrateful ingrates¡­ Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about it. What are you¡­¡± He narrowed his eyes and sized up the two of them. He thought of the background of Ai Tingya¡¯s orphanage and first ruled out meeting any big shots. With his sensitive sense of smell, Yang Tianzhen said in surprise, ¡°You¡¯ve finally decided to enter the entertainment industry, right? Believe me, you definitely have potential to become famous. There¡¯s no mistake about that!¡± Yang Tianzhen was very regretful that he could not sign a contract with the two of them back then at the orphanage. All these years, when he was looking for newbies, he felt that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were the ones to debut. He really wanted to be their manager even in his dreams. In addition, he had encountered something recently and Yang Tianzhen urgently needed to make new celebrities famous to prove himself. Yang Tianzhen was extremely excited, as if he had encountered rain after a long drought. ¡°Looking at how beautifully you two are dressed, you must want to show off, right? What character did you fight for and who did you talk to? I¡¯ll help you refer. Why don¡¯t you come to my company? I¡¯ll definitely give you the best resources!¡± Yang Tianzhen nagged. ¡°The waters in the entertainment industry are deep. You can¡¯t grasp it. It¡¯ll be much easier to do things with an acquaintance like me!¡± Chapter 297 - 297 Awkward Rejection, It Appears That The Big Boss Was Right Beside Me! 297 Awkward Rejection, It Appears That The Big Boss Was Right Beside Me! Yang Tianzhen was like a leech, not letting the two of them go. He had a preconceived idea that the two of them were dressed up to fight for some resources. He was determined not to let the big fish fall into someone else¡¯s net and stop the two of them from leaving. ¡°Uncle Yang, we¡¯re not here to fight for any character role¡­¡± Ai Tingya smiled bitterly. ¡°That¡¯s impossible! You can¡¯t fool my eyes!¡± Yang Tianzhen was very confident in his Professional vision. ¡°We¡¯re all old acquaintances. Don¡¯t hide anything. Come to my company and I¡¯ll definitely make you famous!¡± Yang Tianzhen began to introduce the company¡¯s resources and connections as he spoke. Back then, Luo Feng saw that Yang Tianzhen¡¯s professional standards were indeed high enough, so he gave a small hint about where he could get promising newbies. In the past three to four years, there were indeed celebrities who became famous from Yang Tianzhen. There was no doubt about this. Anyone who was interested in entering the entertainment industry might have agreed on the spot. However, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had no plans to take the path of the entertainment industry. ¡°What other concerns do you two have? Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you suffer if you follow me!¡± Yang Tianzhen patted his chest and guaranteed. ¡°But we have other things to do now¡­¡± Ai Tingya was very helpless. She tapped her wrist, indicating that it was almost time to Luo Feng. ¡°Fighting for resources, right? Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll help you see if it¡¯s reliable!¡± Yang Tianzhen was very familiar with them. He stood beside the two of them like a manager. ¡°Other people have to pay for me to discern for them but I will not charge you two!¡± ¡°Thank you, but there¡¯s really no need¡­¡± Ai Tingya felt that she was about run out of words of rejection, but Yang Tianzhen did not listen to a word. The rioting crowd dispersed just as they were in a dilemma. The waiter finally calmed down and walked back while wiping his sweat. Unexpectedly, a group of people surrounded them from behind and squeezed the waiter to the side. In the middle was a young man with full makeup. Half of his face was covered in blood, and four to five people surrounded him as they rushed out of the hotel. When he reached Yang Tianzhen¡¯s side, the young man stopped and glared at her. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± The people beside him also looked at him angrily. Yang Tianzhen was disdainful at all. He placed his hands on his hips and said, ¡°Even an ingrate can be here. Isn¡¯t it normal for me, a victim, to be here?¡± ¡°Get out with the blood all over your face and it will be on the headlines again. Then you will have a press conference to accuse me. Isn¡¯t this your usual method?¡± Yang Tianzhen spared no effort in mocking him. Clearly, he had a deep conflict with this young man. The young man was so angry that his entire body trembled. ¡°I¡¯m going to sue you! You just wait to receive my lawyer¡¯s letter! Do you still think that you¡¯re still the same Yang Tianzhen as before?!¡± He pointed at Yang Tianzhen¡¯s nose and scolded him without caring about his image. The people beside him also chimed in, their words hitting Yang Tianzhen¡¯s lungs. Yang Tianzhen was also furious. He was about to scold him back when he turned around and looked at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. He smiled and said, ¡°Just wait. I already have new candidatse. I¡¯ll let you understand that the reason why you¡¯re popular is not because you¡¯re outstanding, but because I have methods!¡± At this moment, the young man also noticed Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. He sized up the two of them and rolled his eyes at them, unable to hide his jealousy. He said disdainfully, ¡°With just these two? Where did you pick them up from? Your taste in people is getting worse and worse. Kicking you out was indeed the right choice!¡± ¡°Please watch your words!¡± Luo Feng said without frowning. Ai Tingya and him were innocent but they had been implicated. He wasn¡¯t going to just take it lying down. This sentence made Yang Tianzhen tacitly agree that the three of them were on the same side. He immediately became motivated and rolled up him sleeves to fight in all directions. The four of them were not his match. The young man immediately changed the topic and picked on the soft persimmons seeing that he could not win against Yang Tianzhen. ¡°I say, with your looks, you¡¯re not even comparable to my dog. I¡¯ll be merciful and let you be our company¡¯s trainees. Leave this fat pig as soon as you can.¡± Luo Feng narrowed his eyes. He had never seen anyone scold someone so badly throughout his two lifetimes! Just as he was about to teach the other party a lesson, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his vision. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m talking to the two of you. Are you mute?¡± Seeing that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were silent, the young man bullied them even more easily. ¡°Who are you calling dumb?¡± A cold voice sounded. ¡°Of course it¡¯s¡­¡± The young man turned his head. When he saw the face clearly, he was almost scared out of his wits. ¡°M-Mr. Bezos?¡± The young man¡¯s voice almost broke. He subconsciously tidied his face, but he forgot that his face was covered in blood. The more he tidied it up, the worse it became. In the end, he turned into a red face. Bezos did not even look at him. He walked up to Luo Feng and extended his hand. ¡°I waited for you for a long time, but no one came, so I came out to take a look.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I encountered an acquaintance and was delayed by saying a few words.¡± Luo Feng smiled and shook his hand. He said neither servile nor overbearing, ¡°We¡¯ll come over immediately.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you in the private room.¡± Bezos turned around and left. Yang Tianzhen was so frightened that he stood rooted to the ground. Unlike Luo Feng, Bezos often appeared in the media. It could be said that everyone knew him. Moreover, business big shots had more face compared to celebrities who made a killing every day. Everyone had to address him respectfully as ¡°Mr.¡±. ¡°You¡¯re here to ask Bezos for resources?!¡± Yang Tianzhen was shocked and covered his mouth in disbelief. ¡°We¡¯re not here for resources,¡± Luo Feng said helplessly. ¡°We¡¯re here to discuss business with Bezos?¡± Everyone present was shocked. They could not believe that Luo Feng had the capital to discuss business with Bezos at such a young age. However, judging from Bezos¡¯ attitude towards Luo Feng, he did not seem to be bragging. Yang Tianzhen looked around awkwardly. Luo Feng handed over a business card and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m very interested in what you just said, but we have an appointment. Let¡¯s talk again on another day.¡± Yang Tianzhen took the business card and subconsciously read it out loud. ¡°Chairman of Gather Sift Takeaway, Luo Feng¡­¡± His hands trembled as he swallowed. He looked at Luo Feng and then at the name card. He did not expect the person in front of him to be the most legendary legend in the business world in the past two years! He had started from scratch as a student and defeated Are You Hungry, who had the back of the Amazon! That elusive Chairman of Gather Sift Takeaway?! Actually, Yang Tianzhen did not know that Luo Feng was actually just an investor. However, in order to maintain his reputation and make it more convenient to discuss business, the business cards Xie Yan printed were all Chairman. Ting Feng¡¯s company was not as famous as Gathering Sift after all. ¡°It¡¯s like this. I¡¯ll contact you later.¡± Luo Feng smiled and waved his hand. When he passed by the young man, his eyes turned cold. ¡°As for you, I believe that good and evil will be repaid. Let¡¯s meet again.¡± The young man¡¯s heart pounded. What does this mean? Is he threatening me? I did seem to have gone overboard with my scolding just now¡­ Thinking of this, the young man shivered and ran away with his tail between his legs. Chapter 298 - 298 Cooperation? You Can Take Your Time to Think About It 298 Cooperation? You Can Take Your Time to Think About It Luo Feng took Yang Tianzhen¡¯s name card and waved at him, who was already petrified, before leaving with the waiter. Ai Tingya watched as Luo Feng solemnly put the business card into his pocket and asked curiously, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you really have thoughts of entering the entertainment industry?¡± ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng shook his head. ¡°But my next plan requires a manager with good taste.¡± The two of them walked into the private room before Ai Tingya could ask in detail. Bezos was standing by the window answering a phone. When he sensed Luo Feng and the other party entering, he immediately hung up. ¡°Mr. Bezos, long time no see.¡± Luo Feng was the first to extend his hand to express his gratitude. ¡°We¡¯re all acquaintances. There¡¯s no need to be polite.¡± Bezos smiled. How could Bezos become a successful businessman otherwise? Previously, when he was competing with Luo Feng, the two of them were at loggerheads. Whether it was a business competition on the surface or private tricks, they had even embarrassed each other in public. Now that they were really sitting together to discuss their future cooperation, he could still be calm as if nothing had happened. Bezos¡¯ expression was calm and his smile was gentle. If not for the fact that she knew about Luo Feng¡¯s previous encounters, Ai Tingya would have thought that Bezos was a good person she could trust. ¡°Since Mr. Bezos has said so, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. I¡¯m here this time mainly to talk about working with Amazon.¡± Luo Feng was straightforward. ¡°I¡¯m very interested in that.¡± Bezos was calm and composed, preparing to listen carefully. Luo Feng said, ¡°I know that Amazon¡¯s development is very mature and stable now. You are urgently in need to innovate a new way to sell goods, such as live streaming.¡± ¡°Live streaming? That¡¯s it?¡± Bezos was a little surprised. It was not that Luo Feng¡¯s idea was exquisite, but if it was a live streaming, the first thing he thought of was television shopping. This was not strange. It could even be said that the Internet was developed now, and the sales of television shopping were decreasing year by year. Bezos felt that he had made a wasted trip if he only moved television shopping to the Internet. Luo Feng saw that the other party was expressionless and knew that it was not enough. Therefore, he continued, ¡°In the future¡­ or rather, now, the Internet has become a part of life. Phones will replace books, television, and other entertainment items and become the most mainstream medium of communication.¡± ¡°I dare to say that in the future, the Internet will be filled with all sorts of things, entertainment videos will appear endlessly, and internet celebrities will keep popping up like bamboo shoots after a rain and obtain the attention of many people. Think about it, how should they monetize their popularity?¡± ¡°Take on advertisements,¡± Bezos blurted out. ¡°Yes! Accepting advertisements!¡± Luo Feng snapped his fingers. ¡°Since they have already accepted the advertisement endorsements, why don¡¯t not let them do the review in front of the camera other than doing a few recommendations?¡± Internet celebrities had their own influence and audiences. What they said was also more convincing. It was more useful than television shopping and a few unfamiliar hosts shouting. Bezos had never seen such a way of selling goods. He stroked his chin and found it interesting. ¡°But how do they attract fans? Sing? Dance?¡± ¡°Anything is fine,¡± Luo Feng said confidently. They had finally entered the main topic of Internet celebrity! ¡°Mr. Bezos should have realized that Internet celebrities are very famous and have a lot of attention now. However, they don¡¯t have a solid fan platform and can¡¯t monetize it. Therefore, I want our two families to join forces and start a platform for them to perform. It¡¯s also convenient to sell goods in the future!¡± Luo Feng spoke frankly. Luther, the assistant behind him, sneered before Bezos could speak. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Luo Feng asked kindly. ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m sorry to disturb you, sir.¡± Luther looked away, but the mockery in his eyes was not completely hidden. In Luther¡¯s opinion, Luo Feng had become arrogant. Even though Are You Hungry had lost in the takeaway subsidy battle, it did not mean that Amazon had lost. If the Amazon was a big tree, Are You Hungry would be a branch at the end. It would not affect the main trunk even if it was broken. In comparison, even though Luo Feng seemed to have won a battle, Gather Sift Takeaway could not compare to Amazon at all. After winning a small round, he began to boast shamelessly about developing a new platform together. He is really too arrogant! That was why Luther could not help but laugh. ¡°Don¡¯t mind Mr. Luo. Continue.¡± Bezos did not reveal his thoughts for the time being. At this moment, Luo Feng picked up his chopsticks and said, ¡°Anymore and it would be the details. There¡¯s no point in saying it now. I want to hear Mr. Bezos¡¯ opinion. Are you interested in the platform I mentioned?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Bezos did not hesitate. The development of Amazon had stabilize. There was no longer any greater room for growth. In addition, other shopping websites were rapidly rising. He really needed a more competitive innovation! ¡°Sure.¡± Luo Feng ate the food in front of him and said, ¡°Just listen to my arrangements in the future.¡± The Amazon needed Luo Feng¡¯s development plan, and Luo Feng needed the influence of the Amazon. However, his words had a different taste in Bezos¡¯ ears. A publicly recognized business big shot in the country, a veteran in the business world who had fought from scratch, actually had to listen to the orders of a young man in his early twenties?! Bezos did not know if he was weak or if Luo Feng was crazy. ¡°How do you want us to cooperate?¡± Bezos asked. ¡°Of course I¡¯ll give you whatever you want,¡± Luo Feng said matter-of-factly. One had to know that even Bezos¡¯ biological son and daughter did not dare to speak to him like this. Bezos¡¯ expression was uncertain. He was still hesitant, or rather, very unhappy. He was conflicted as to whether he should agree to Luo Feng¡¯s ridiculous request. ¡°What¡¯s your goal?¡± Bezos asked again. Luo Feng glanced at Ai Tingya and smiled. ¡°Do my best to benefit the world.¡± ¡°What?¡± Bezos could not believe his ears. All vendors pursued profits. It was fine to shout slogans to benefit the world. There were really people who treated this as a goal to fight for. Luo Feng said calmly, ¡°If you understand the salary distribution of Gather Sift Takeaway, you will know what I mean. Also, my lover has a milk tea drink company under her name. You can also understand.¡± ¡°At that time, you will understand if what I said is true or false.¡± At this point, it was almost done. Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and said to Bezos, ¡°Dinner was really good today. Thank you for your hospitality. We should go.¡± ¡°Okay. See you later.¡± Bezos did not ask them to stay any longer. His mind was filled with Luo Feng¡¯s words. After the two of them left, Luther could not help but say, ¡°Boss, he¡¯s clearly trying to trick you! Benefit the world? It¡¯s clear that he wants to use our company¡¯s influence to expand his own industry!¡± ¡°I know.¡± Bezos wiped his face. ¡°But I do know the salary distribution for the staff of Gather Sift Takeaway. Luo Feng doesn¡¯t seem to be bragging.¡± Chapter 299 - 299 Yang Tianzhens Scammer Company? 299 Yang Tianzhen¡¯s Scammer Company? Luo Feng led Ai Tingya out of the Marriott Hotel. The pair of handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of many people. They were not in a hurry to drive away. Instead, they each held their stomachs and smiled tacitly as they walked towards the small frying shop opposite the street. ¡°I was too focused on talking just now and didn¡¯t eat much at all,¡± Ai Tingya said pitifully. She felt that she could finish a recipe book looking at the ordinary stir-fry on the menu. Luo Feng ordered a few of her favorite dishes and began to reminisce about what he had just said to Bezos. ¡°Do you think he¡¯ll agree?¡± Ai Tingya asked. Luo Feng nodded. ¡°He has no reason to disagree.¡± With his many years of experience as a Poofman, Bezos¡¯ expression just now was obvious that he had heard it in his heart. Not to mention leaving appropriately, giving Bezos time to reminisce. It would not be long before he took the initiative to contact them. Luo Feng was still very confident in this. ¡°Speaking of which, why are you working with Bezos?¡± Ai Tingya asked. ¡°I think with your brilliance, you can completely start from scratch suspiciously, be it recruiting internet celebrities, building platforms, or finding partners. Amazon isn¡¯t the only shopping website now. You can completely work with a new website. That way, you will have more say.¡± Ai Tingya analyzed. In terms of technology, Xie Yan¡¯s team and Cui Kun¡¯s team were both qualified. In the early stages, they could also rely on takeaway platforms and milk tea shops. Actually, to a certain extent, there was no need to involve Bezos. Ai Tingya was a little unhappy when she thought of how Luther had looked down on them just now. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not just to borrow the reputation of Amazon.¡± Luo Feng sighed. ¡°We fought too fiercely previously. I¡¯ve been thinking of a way to ease the tension. Coincidentally, Bezos has the same intention. I¡¯m just taking advantage of the situation.¡± In the business world, having another friend was better than having another enemy. Moreover, the influence of Amazon could not be ignored. If Luo Feng wanted to go far, he could not offend everyone. ¡°I see.¡± Ai Tingya nodded, feeling that she had learned something else from Luo Feng. ¡°Then shall we wait for Bezos¡¯ reply next?¡± ¡°He might have to consider it for a while. Selling goods is the next step. We can complete the first step, such as recruiting Internet celebrities.¡± As he spoke, Luo Feng took out Yang Tianzhen¡¯s business card from his pocket. Luo Feng was better at unearthing potential stocks. After all, he could see the potential value above people¡¯s heads. However, he was very busy and did not have so much time to waste in the qualifiers. He also needed someone with equally unique vision. ¡°I see. As expected of you. You¡¯ve already thought of so many things.¡± Ai Tingya praised. ¡°Hehe, isn¡¯t this to perform well in front of you?¡± Luo Feng smiled foolishly. ¡°What if you despise me in the future if I¡¯m too lousy?¡± Ai Tingya smiled slyly. ¡°Is that so? Then I¡¯ll wait to see your performance.¡± ¡°As you command, my dear wife!¡± ¡­ The next morning, the first thing Luo Feng did when he got to work was to call Yang Tianzhen. ¡°Hello! Is this Mr. Luo Feng?¡± The other party quickly picked it up, as if he had been waiting in front of the phone. ¡°Yang Tianzhen? You knew I would contact you?¡± ¡°Hehe, I don¡¯t know¡­ Do you have any orders?¡± Yang Tianzhen was respectful. After he returned home last night, he immediately turned on his computer to search for Luo Feng¡¯s name. The news that popped up almost shocked him! [Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s year-end report has reached a new record. Chairman Luo Feng is talking about the company¡¯s development.] [A shocking thesis in the mathematics world! A university student solving a world problem!] [The Immortal Drink has descended to the mortal world. The lady boss of Good Me Milk Tea claims that she succeeded because of love!] Behind a series of ridiculous-looking news were shocking profits! After browsing the news, Yang Tianzhen suddenly had the illusion that time had abandoned her. Otherwise, why would Luo Feng open two companies in a row and have the time to study the classic mathematics problem? On the other hand, his agent career had been up and down, and he was not as good as before. Last night, he even wanted to pull the company¡¯s boss to debut as a celebrity. At the thought of this, Yang Tianzhen felt so embarrassed that she had goosebumps. However, he also hoped that Luo Feng could contact him. No matter what the reason was, he would go completely because he urgently needed a solid thigh! He did not expect his good luck to come this morning! ¡°What can I do for you?¡± Yang Tianzhen asked eagerly. Even the punctuation was sincere. ¡°I can¡¯t explain it clearly over the phone,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Do you have time? I¡¯ll go to your company to take a look.¡± ¡°You¡¯re coming over?!¡± Yang Tianzhen was shocked and stood up from the sofa excitedly. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll drive over to pick you up immediately.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. Send the address to this phone number. I¡¯ll come over myself. In about an hour.¡± After saying that, Luo Feng hung up. He picked up his coat, got up, and walked out. Coincidentally, he met Xie Yan, who was coming to work downstairs. ¡°Boss, skipping work again?¡± Xie Yan joked. They were all partners who had worked from scratch together and often made harmless jokes in private. ¡°I happened to meet you,¡± Luo Feng said seriously. ¡°I need a platform for a live broadcast video. Bring the team to research it. You must make it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°As long as it¡¯s a live broadcast?¡± Xie Yan asked curiously. ¡°I still need a short video function¡­ Forget it, I¡¯ll send the request to your email later. Take a look first.¡± After Luo Feng finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry. Xie Yan was confused, but his enthusiasm for work suddenly burned! He had followed Luo Feng and started his own business since he was in university. After graduating, he directly brought his team to Shanghai to work. Many alumni were envious. Xie Yan had long sworn that he would definitely fight with Luo Feng to the end. It was his turn to perform! ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± He gave Luo Feng¡¯s back a thumbs up. ¡­ Luo Feng chose to take a taxi to Yang Tianzhen¡¯s company to complete the website design instructions on the way. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s management company was called Morris Management Company. It was about a 40-minute drive from Gather Sift Takeaway¡¯s headquarters. After Luo Feng hailed a taxi, he began to write the website design instructions. The taxi driver was very good at driving and drove very steadily. There were almost no bumps on the way. It was very fast and the car stopped below the Morris Management Company. Luo Feng put away his phone and prepared to go up. Bang! Unexpectedly, a display descended from the sky and landed two meters away from Luo Feng with a loud bang. The taxi driver was shocked and hurriedly said, ¡°Little brother, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Luo Feng looked at the smashed display screen and looked up, as if he could hear the argument upstairs and the sound of something breaking. ¡°Little brother, are you going upstairs for an interview?¡± The taxi driver asked. ¡°I advise you to take a look at other companies first. I heard that this is a scammer company!¡± The taxi driver reminded him kindly and started the car to leave. Luo Feng stopped him and said, ¡°How did you know?¡± Chapter 300 - 300 Name Your Price, Any Price 300 Name Your Price, Any Price The taxi driver usually drove through the streets and could be said to be the most well-informed group of people. Even slightly larger news could not be hidden from them. The driver sized up Luo Feng. He looked young and looked like that. He thought that he was here for an interview at Morris Corporation. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°I pulled a young lady from this company over here and cried when I got into the car. She said that she was tricked by the company into signing a ¡®slave contract¡¯ for 15 years. Not only is her salary low, she works 12 hours a day and has to pay 200,000 yuan for breaching the contract! She¡¯s really pitiful. Little brother, I see that you¡¯re at the age where you just graduated. If you come here to look for a job, I advise you to change locations.¡± The driver was a talkative person and reconstructed his conversation with the little girl. Luo Feng nodded as he listened. ¡°Thank you, Master. I¡¯m here to look for a friend. I¡¯ll come down after taking a look.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± The driver heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not here to look for a job. Then, he took a mask for Luo Feng. ¡°Put it on.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Luo Feng was puzzled. The driver said mysteriously, ¡°I heard from that young lady that as long as someone in that company takes a fancy to you, they will coax you to join them. I see how dignified you are. It¡¯s better to cover it up.¡± It did sound like Yang Tianzhen¡¯s way of doing things to force someone to debut¡­ Luo Feng took the driver¡¯s good intentions. When he paid, he even paid for the mask. ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± The taxi driver brought him additional information. If Yang Tianzhen really lied to him about signing the contract, Luo Feng would not cooperate with him no matter how high his potential was. Harming others for his own benefit was not in line with his ambition to benefit humanity. He walked up the stairs to the third floor. Before he left the corridor, he heard an intense argument inside. There were men and women. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s voice was the loudest and was the most energetic. Luo Feng put on his mask and walked over calmly. He stood outside the door and eavesdropped on the conversation inside. ¡°Get lost! Otherwise, I¡¯ll whip you to death!¡± Yang Tianzhen shouted, accompanied by a sobbing woman¡¯s voice. Luo Feng stuck his head out and saw him rolling up his sleeves and putting his hands on his waist, scolding a middle-aged man on the sofa. Behind him stood a female voice with a ponytail. She was lowering her head to wipe her tears. The middle-aged man crossed his legs and stared at Yang Tianzhen calmly. He looked deeper and saw the young man who had provoked Luo Feng last night standing beside the middle-aged man. His head was still wrapped in gauze, but his expression was very arrogant. ¡°Manager Yang, I¡¯m talking to our company¡¯s employees. Can you please get up?¡± The young man was smug. ¡°If you want to get out, don¡¯t stay in my territory. I¡¯m disgusted!¡± Yang Tianzhen did not give in. The young man glanced at the middle-aged man and said, ¡°What a joke. This is a studio under Mosley company. If anyone wants to get lost, it¡¯s you!¡± ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± Yang Tianzhen spat angrily. ¡°You were still in your mother¡¯s stomach when I bought this place. When did it become a company!¡± ¡°The company contract is written clearly in black and white. This is the company¡¯s property, but you can have it if you want it. I¡¯ll sell it to you for 500,000 yuan.¡± The middle-aged man said slowly, ¡°Before that, can you return the artistes in our company? Otherwise, I¡¯m going to call the police!¡± ¡°You!¡± Yang Tianzhen was so angry that she did not know what to say. At this moment, the young lady stopped Yang Tianzhen. ¡°Brother Yang, thank you for standing up for me. I think¡­ I think I should go back to work.¡± When Luo Feng heard this, he looked at the little girl a few more times. Her sallow skin was extremely poor, and her silver-gray hair was as dry as straw. It was obvious that she had done too much and injured her hair. She looked withered and very haggard. This image could not help but remind Luo Feng of the young lady who had been squeezed by the driver. ¡°Xiao Chun, don¡¯t be afraid of them! That contract was unreasonable to begin with!¡± Yang Tianzhen¡¯s words confirmed Luo Feng¡¯s guess. From the looks of it, squeezing the contract had nothing to do with Yang Tianzhen. Then he could continue to discuss cooperation with Yang Tianzhen. Thinking of this, Luo Feng pushed the door open and walked in. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Luo Feng, who has an appointment. I¡¯m looking for Yang Tianzhen.¡± Luo Feng knocked on the door. When Yang Tianzhen saw Luo Feng, he hurriedly welcomed him as if he had seen his savior. However, he thought of her current awkward situation and hurriedly pushed Luo Feng in. ¡°Xiao Chun, pour a cup of tea for the guest.¡± Yang Tianzhen took the opportunity to send Xiao Chun away and said to Luo Feng, ¡°CEO Luo, I have something on. Please wait for me for a few minutes.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± The middle-aged man stood up and stopped the two of them. He opened his eyelids and glanced at Luo Feng. Even though he could not see his entire face, he could roughly estimate Luo Feng¡¯s age. He immediately knew what to do. ¡°You have a guest?¡± The middle-aged man revealed a gentle smile. ¡°Let¡¯s chat elsewhere. Our studio forbids unrelated people to stay.¡± He slapped Yang Tianzhen¡¯s face and embarrassed him at the critical moment. Yang Tianzhen was so angry that he trembled. He wished he could go up and grab the other party¡¯s neck and shake his head to see if there was black water inside! ¡°President Luo, I¡¯m sorry, I encountered something today.¡± Yang Tianzhen lowered his head towards Luo Feng, wishing he could find a crack and hide in it. Luo Feng only nodded lightly. ¡°I know. I heard most of it before I entered.¡± He walked to the coffee table and looked straight at the middle-aged man. ¡°You said this studio is yours. Where¡¯s the contract?¡± ¡°And who are you?¡± The middle-aged man snorted disdainfully. ¡°Don¡¯t care who I am. I want to buy the studio for Manager Yang now. State your price.¡± Luo Feng was rich and confident. Yang Tianzhen was stunned. He could not believe that Luo Feng wanted to stand up for him as soon as they met. On the other hand, the middle-aged man was also very surprised by Luo Feng¡¯s words. He did not answer for a long time. Instead, he had been observing Luo Feng, from his clothes to his words and actions. The middle-aged man realized that he could not see through the young man in front of him. Seeing that he was silent, Luo Feng asked, ¡°500,000 yuan, right?¡± He originally wanted to raise the price, but because of the cashback rule, there would be no additional cashback if he deliberately raised the price, so he honestly repeated the price the middle-aged man had just quoted. The middle-aged man sneered and shook his head. ¡°One million yuan!¡± ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t you have any shame!¡± Yang Tianzhen was about to flare up again. This studio was where he first made his fortune. According to the market price, it was at most 300,000 yuan. The middle-aged man was clearly to fleece, highway robbery. Luo Feng raised his hand to stop Yang Tianzhen. ¡°Deal!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going back on my word. I want two million yuan now!¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Luo Feng did not even blink. It was better to say that the higher the price, the happier he would be. After all, he had interest and was not afraid of offering a hundred million. ¡°Three¡­ three million yuan?¡± The middle-aged man extended three fingers tentatively. Luo Feng¡¯s aura was too strong. Even he was a little afraid. Who exactly is this person? Chapter 301 - 301 Believe In Yourself, No One Is More Suitable Than You! 301 Believe In Yourself, No One Is More Suitable Than You! ¡°Three¡­ Three million yuan¡­¡± The middle-aged man stretched out three fingers tentatively, making himself uncertain. There were really suckers who were willing to spend five times the price to buy a lousy studio. ¡°Sure, invoice.¡± Luo Feng was calm and composed. He knew that the other party was trying to do a highway robbery, but he had no intention of bargaining. It was not easy to meet someone who dared to raise the price. The higher the better! ¡°President¡­ President Luo!¡± Yang Tianzhen was so shocked that he did not know what to say. He swallowed and said, ¡°President Luo, this house is not worth so much money. Don¡¯t fall for it.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this studio very important to you?¡± Luo Feng said seriously. ¡°As your future business partner, there¡¯s nothing wrong with me buying it for you.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Yang Tianzhen did not know how to persuade him. He really could not bear to part with the studio, but three million yuan was enough to book half a floor. Even though he did not know how much Luo Feng had, he could not waste it like this. ¡°No need, this¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t interrupt.¡± Luo Feng gestured for him not to say anything else. Then, he turned around and continued to ask the middle-aged man, ¡°Three million yuan will be transferred to you later. Put the invoice and the house deed on the table.¡± ¡°You¡­ I¡­¡± The middle-aged man was terrified. He did not know the exact reason, but the person in front of him had a terrifying aura and emitted a warning that they were not on the same level. The middle-aged man subconsciously felt that he could not afford to offend him. However, on second thought, this was not the first time he had been in Shanghai. How many people could he not afford to offend? The middle-aged man looked at Luo Feng and then at Yang Tianzhen. A manager like Yang Tianzhen had a bad temper and was fat. How could he know a big shot? It was just a swashbuckle. After coming to a decision, the middle-aged man suddenly became much stronger and lectured, ¡°Sir, I¡¯m not short of this three million yuan, but I feel that it¡¯s not worth it for you to spend so much on Manager Yang. He doesn¡¯t have much ability. He¡¯s been in our company for a few years and has long exhausted his talent.¡± ¡°What did you say!¡± Yang Tianzhen was ashamed and angry. He was anxious to prove herself in front of Luo Feng, but the more anxious he was, the slower his tongue became. ¡°It¡¯s all because of your¡­ company¡¯s terms¡­ It¡¯s too ridiculous. I¡­ I¡­¡± ¡°Hahaha, look, he isn¡¯t even articulate.¡± The middle-aged man wanted to get close to Luo Feng. ¡°It seems that we¡¯re fated. This is my advice to you. If you¡¯re interested in the entertainment industry, it¡¯s not bad to invest in our company.¡± ¡°Forget it.¡± Luo Feng turned his body to pull away and said bluntly, ¡°In my opinion, the most valuable person in your company is Mr. Yang Tianzhen.¡± He put down his mask and continued, ¡°Even 30 million yuan is worth it, let alone three million. Let¡¯s see if you dare to take it.¡± The young man behind the middle-aged man¡¯s expression changed drastically when his true appearance appeared. He hurriedly pulled the middle-aged man who was about to choke and reminded him in a low voice, ¡°This person¡¯s background is not simple. Even the Amazon, Mr. Bezos, has to give him some face.¡± ¡°What?¡± The middle-aged man was skeptical. He sized it up a few times and muttered in his heart. ¡°I saw it with my own eyes last night. Bezos asked him out for a meal and even came out to welcome him personally.¡± The young man seemed to be telling a ghost story. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he was exceptionally terrified. ¡°So unbelievable?¡± The middle-aged man was in disbelief, and his cowardice rose again. In a fame and fortune fair like the entertainment industry, money came quickly, but they also had to rely on investors and did not dare to offend the big shots of the business world easily. After all, the big shots were doing business in the same place. It was very likely that they would offend everyone. The middle-aged man did not dare to take the bet! ¡°What are you thinking about? Where¡¯s the account number?¡± Luo Feng urged. The middle-aged man trembled and obediently took out his phone. ¡°Account number¡­ The account number is here.¡± In order to make a profit, Luo Feng transferred three million yuan from his private account. ¡°Alright, please send the invoices, house deeds, and other information to Gather Sift Takeaway Limited.¡± Luo Feng put away his phone and turned to look at a young lady. ¡°How much does this girl need to terminate her contract?¡± ¡°Huh? You¡¯re from Gather Sift Takeaway?¡± The middle-aged man was shocked. His heart skipped a beat as he knew he had offended someone. He felt uneasy after accepting three million yuan. How could he dare to ask for more from Luo Feng? ¡°No¡­ There¡¯s no need. Let¡¯s count it all in here.¡± The middle-aged man stuttered. ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng was disappointed. ¡°Don¡¯t go back on your words. Just tell me how much it costs. I won¡¯t bargain.¡± The other four people in the room miraculously had the same thought¡ªDo you have money to burn? Why don¡¯t you do something? ¡°There¡¯s really no need!¡± The middle-aged man refused as he quickly walked out. He was afraid that he would collect another sum of money if he was too slow. Luo Feng said in disappointment, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t forget to send the contract over.¡± Luo Feng sat on the sofa boldly and flipped through the magazines on the table in boredom after the two of them walked away. As for Yang Tianzhen and Xiao Chun, they stood cautiously at the side of the coffee table as if they wanted to do something wrong, waiting to hear Luo Feng¡¯s lecture. ¡°Why are the two of you standing there?¡± Luo Feng asked curiously. The two of them looked up in panic. After looking at each other in confusion, Xiao Chun ran in to get a cup and placed it respectfully in front of Luo Feng. ¡°I forgot to pour you some water. I deserve to die!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not talking about this¡­¡± Luo Feng found it a little funny. Why were the two of them afraid? He softened his tone and said, ¡°I¡¯m saying do you have work to do, such as cleaning up the studio, or do you have any itineraries to run?¡± ¡°No,¡± they said in unison. Yang Tianzhen lowered her head and said, ¡°The company and I don¡¯t agree with each other. We got into a deadlock a month ago and all my subordinates were poached by the company.¡± Xiao Chun said, ¡°I¡­ I just terminated my contract. I don¡¯t have a job anymore.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Luo Feng clapped happily. ¡°Let¡¯s start discussing cooperation immediately. If you¡¯re willing, you can join my company directly.¡± ¡°Gather Sift Takeaway?¡± Yang Tianzhen asked. ¡°Of course not. I mean my MCN company.¡± ¡°You have MCN?¡± Yang Tianzhen was very puzzled. Why hadn¡¯t he seen it when he checked the information? ¡°Didn¡¯t I find you guys? I¡¯ll have it soon.¡± Luo Feng smiled. The two of them sweated. He was looking for someone on the spot and establishing a company on the spot. This person was quite casual. Luo Feng saw the complicated expressions on their faces and knew that they could not accept reality for the time being, so he let them sit down first and poured water for the two of them. When they calmed down a little, he slowly got to the point. ¡°You¡¯re saying that you want to open a company to nurture internet celebrities and want me to help you find candidates?¡± Yang Tianzhen said in disbelief. Especially after Luo Feng told him about the future development of the online economy, he was even more shocked by Luo Feng¡¯s sharp eyes. At least in his opinion, the current internet celebrity did not have much economic value and was far inferior to celebrities. ¡°Yes. I think with your taste, you will definitely choose outstanding people. Therefore, when the idea sprouted, I first thought of looking for you,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°No one is more suitable than you!¡± Chapter 302 - 302 Your Trainees Talent Is Extremely Low 302 Your Trainee¡¯s Talent Is Extremely Low ¡°No one is more suitable than you!¡± Luo Feng stared at the number of potential above his head. His potential was only inferior to Xie Yan¡¯s. He was very sure that Yang Tianzhen would definitely shine in the agent industry in the future! ¡°Boo¡­ Boohoo Boohoo¡­¡± Hearing Luo Feng¡¯s words, Yang Tianzhen sniffed and suddenly cried. In the past, when he was in the orphanage, Luo Feng had also trusted him in this way. He had even given him a clear path and promoted an international female celebrity so that he could stand firm in the entertainment industry. However, he did not expect to be scammed by the company halfway, causing Yang Tianzhen to be unable to recover. Now that Luo Feng had descended again, he was like a God. Not only did he fork out money to help him protect the studio, but he also trusted him as usual. How could Yang Tianzhen not be touched?! The toughness he had been pretending to be for many days was defeated by Luo Feng¡¯s warm and firm words. Luo Feng handed Yang Tianzhen a tissue. ¡°Have a good cry and start a new legend!¡± ¡°I will! I won¡¯t let you down!¡± Yang Tianzhen¡¯s face was covered in tears. ¡°Let¡¯s begin immediately. Just tell me!¡± He rolled up his sleeves and was about to start working. He wished he could turn into a piece of firewood and add light to the company to heat it up to repay Luo Feng¡¯s trust in him. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. I¡¯ll give you two days to adjust your mentality. I¡¯ll deal with some trivial matters.¡± Luo Feng was very generous. ¡°The contract will be sent over at night. If you have any problems, you can communicate at any time.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Yang Tianzhen was a little embarrassed. Luo Feng misunderstood him and added, ¡°I¡¯ll give you your salary for the next two days. Relax.¡± Yang Tianzhen wanted to explain that she didn¡¯t mean that, but she was touched and only cared about crying. Xiao Chun patted Yang Tianzhen¡¯s back and was happy for him. ¡°Manager, that¡¯s great. Congratulations.¡± Yang Tianzhen waved her hands repeatedly, wanting to say something humble, but she was out of breath from crying. She could not say a complete sentence and only held Xiao Chun¡¯s hand tightly. Luo Feng let him cry and turned to Xiao Chun. ¡°Your name is Xiao Chun, right? My name is Luo Feng.¡± ¡°Hello, CEO Luo!¡± Xiao Chun immediately stood up and bowed. ¡°Thank you, CEO Luo.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to call me that. We¡¯re about the same age. Just call me by my name,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°You heard my company¡¯s future just now. Are you willing to join?¡± As Luo Feng spoke, his gaze shifted to the top of Xiao Chun¡¯s head. This girl¡¯s potential was also close to full marks. She was a good seedling. He could not let her go! Otherwise, Luo Feng would not have given Xiao Chun the penalty for breach of contract. ¡°Can¡­ Can I?¡± Xiao Chun was very unconfident. She placed her hands on her thighs and felt very uneasy. ¡°I don¡¯t have any specialties. I might not be cut out to be an internet celebrity.¡± ¡°You have to have confidence in yourself. Everyone is a pearl covered in dust. Only by being confident in sweeping away the dust can they shine,¡± Luo Feng said sincerely. Chicken soup was his common method. This was because Luo Feng believed that a person could only unleash their greatest potential with confidence. Be it Ai Tingya or Xie Yan, they felt inferior and confused at first. What Luo Feng had to do was guide them and believe in him! ¡°No, I really don¡¯t have any talent,¡± Xiao Chun said seriously. Before Yang Tianzhen, who was crying badly, could say anything, Xiao Chun suddenly stood up and walked to the middle of the room. ¡°You¡¯ll understand after I dance a little!¡± Xiao Chun blushed, gritted her teeth, and danced as if she was about to die. Luo Feng watched expressionlessly, and more and more question marks appeared on his face. So Xiao Chun was not being humble when she said no just now. She was stating the truth! Her limbs were quite stiff, and her joints seemed to be rusty. Not only were they not agile, but her limbs were also uncoordinated. She was like a marionette hanging on the balcony. She moved randomly when the wind blew. Luo Feng had seen Ai Tingya¡¯s elegant dance before, so he did not have high expectations of Xiao Chun and was mentally prepared. He did not expect Xiao Chun to break through the bottom line and not even dance as well as the aunties dancing in the public spaces. Yang Tianzhen shook her head repeatedly and covered her face, not daring to look anymore. ¡°If you can¡¯t dance or sing¡­¡± Luo Feng added. He could not let the chicken soup for the soul drop to the ground! Before he could finish, Xiao Chun found an accompaniment on the computer and sang along. ¡°Listen to the injury in your breath¡ªhear the madness in your heart¡ªhear the warmth of your arms spread across the hill!¡± Xiao Chun¡¯s singing voice was like rusty nails scratching glass. Every scratch was on their eardrums. It was extremely penetrating and would score full marks for damage! Hearing it more often would be irresponsible to others¡¯ ears. Luo Feng felt that he was a calm person. When he heard this demonic sound, he could not help but cover his ears. ¡°Stop singing!¡± Yang Tianzhen shouted immediately, saving their ears. Dong, dong, dong¡ª The sound of hurried footsteps approached. An unfamiliar man kicked the door open angrily and entered. ¡°Kill a pig! Noise is forbidden in this building, do you know that?!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Xiao Chun bowed repeatedly in apology, ashamed. ¡°Hmph! Be careful!¡± The man was from the company upstairs. Before he left, he looked at the management company sign at the door that he had yet to take down. He looked at the three people in the room with pity, as if saying, ¡°At this level, we¡¯re not far from closing down.¡± After the episode passed, Xiao Chun sat down and lowered her head. ¡°Look, I really don¡¯t have any talent.¡± These words were indeed true. Xiao Chun¡¯s limbs were uncoordinated and she was a voice idiot. This made Luo Feng a little curious how she entered the management company. The Morris company was quite famous after all. Luo Feng asked, ¡°Who brought you into the company?¡± Yang Tianzhen slowly raised her hand, equally ashamed. ¡°It¡¯s me¡­¡± He felt that he was really too disappointing. In just a few minutes, he had used the truth to give Luo Feng a loud slap. His taste did not seem to be good. ¡°What¡¯s the reason?¡± Luo Feng asked again. Yang Tianzhen looked embarrassed. ¡°I was choosing trainees for the company at that time. I saw that Xiao Chun had suffered and was a down-to-earth child. She also had a determined dream of becoming a celebrity, so I let her enter the company.¡± Morris company had a trainee system. It was to learn singing and dancing for a few years after entering the company. The company would only arrange for them to debut after they passed the standard. This was also a cruel screening system. Practitioners had to learn dance, vocal music, acting skills, lines, and other homework. They had to train for 12 hours a day. Many people could not take it and quit halfway. The ones left behind might not be able to debut immediately. Luck and strength were indispensable. Xiao Chun had been a trainee for three years, but her standards were still the same. It could be seen that she did not have any talent at all. The hope he had just seen seemed to be about to be destroyed immediately. Yang Tianzhen and Xiao Chun lowered their heads, waiting for Luo Feng to give up on them. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s voice sounded from above. The two of them looked up in surprise and saw that Luo Feng¡¯s eyes were still filled with trust. ¡°Who said that you have to sing and dance to be an internet celebrity? You can do something you¡¯re good at.¡± Luo Feng asked, ¡°Xiao Chun, what are you good at?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m good at farming!¡± ¡°Then you¡¯ll perform farming!¡± Chapter 303 - 303 New Company, Innovative Artist! 303 New Company, Innovative Artist! ¡°Perform farming? How can I perform this?¡± Xiao Chun¡¯s mind was filled with question marks. Her family background was average. Her parents were farmers and had to help her family do all kinds of farm work since she was young. She had enough of living facing the yellow soil, so she came to Shanghai to work. In the end, the new boss asked her to perform farming. No matter how she listened, it sounded like a joke. She looked at Yang Tianzhen for help, wanting to see through her boss¡¯s intentions. As expected, Yang Tianzhen was also dumbfounded. In his opinion, celebrities were all glamorous, beautiful, humble, elegant, and loved by countless people. In order to satisfy the audience¡¯s admiration and fantasy, they had to maintain a perfect persona at all times. From top to bottom, they had to be armed to the hair. It was precisely because they were detached from reality that celebrities and ordinary people were different. This was too grounded for Yang Tianzhen to imagine. He guessed with his inherent experience, ¡°Are you saying that you want to hold a land-planting variety show? To let celebrities experience the lives of ordinary people, close the distance between their lives, and wrap Xiao Chun up warmly?¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Luo Feng shook his finger. ¡°If we give up on the idea of creating stars now, what Internet celebrities need is a substitute experience.¡± Yang Tianzhen found it interesting. ¡°Please tell me in detail.¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°In modern society, the pace of life is getting faster and faster. Most people are physically and mentally exhausted just by dealing with work. At this time, anyone wants to have a pure land of their own. It¡¯s quiet, slow, and free of worries.¡± ¡°So you need to perform farming?¡± Xiao Chun only knew a little and still did not understand what was so good about heavy farming. If he liked it so much, he could go to the countryside and squat on the fields. He would not be able to see a few acres of land. ¡°Silly girl.¡± Yang Tianzhen patted Xiao Chun¡¯s head gently. ¡°You didn¡¯t understand the wonderful part of the boss¡¯s idea.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. He did not expect Yang Tianzhen to already understand the key points behind him. He raised his hand and said, ¡°Then tell me and see if we¡¯re on the same page.¡± Yang Tianzhen scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and smiled. ¡°I understand what you mean. You want to create a pure land through videos. You want to simplify the hard work of farming and emphasize the joy and pride of your gains.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s what I mean!¡± Luo Feng clapped excitedly. After saying so much, he finally got to the point. In his previous life, Luo Feng remembered a female internet celebrity. She displayed the life of a villager who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, returning to simple manual work. The peaceful years he displayed gained him a large number of fans. It even became popular overseas. In the end, it became a cultural output and was widely praised both domestically and overseas. Luo Feng wanted to speed up the arrival of the short video era! ¡°Then I¡¯ll arrange for someone to find a venue immediately and invest in filming. I¡¯ll show you a film first.¡± Yang Tianzhen rubbed her palms together and was about to get to work. ¡°Very good!¡± Luo Feng liked his enthusiasm very much and continued, ¡°In the beginning, there might be many things you don¡¯t understand, so I¡¯ll follow up on the filming. If you don¡¯t understand, communicate at any time.¡± ¡°Really? But don¡¯t you have other jobs?¡± Yang Tianzhen asked worriedly. Luo Feng was the boss of Gather Sift Takeaway after all. There must be a large wave of matters waiting for him to deal with in the company. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Someone from the delivery company will help me deal with it.¡± Luo Feng did not care. Xie Yan could already take charge now, and the company¡¯s development was stable. Moreover, even if he was in the company, he was slacking most of the time. It wouldn¡¯t matter if he waved his hand. ¡°You can¡¯t do that!¡± Yang Tianzhen¡¯s expression darkened and she revealed a very serious expression. ¡°Boss, I shouldn¡¯t have said much about this, but human hearts are unpredictable. If you trust the people below too much, they will let you down and might even bite you back!¡± This was an experience. Even though Yang Tianzhen was not a start-up of Morris¡¯s management company, the artists he brought up had pushed the company to the peak. At that time, Yang Tianzhen also treated Morris as his company. That was why he blurted out that he wanted Luo Feng and Ai Tingya to come to his company when he saw them. As he always focused his energy on artists and often quarreled with the higher-ups of the company for them, the higher-ups found him more and more annoying. In the end, he was kicked out. He was indebted to Luo Feng, so Yang Tianzhen had no choice but to come out and remind him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be suspicious of anyone I use.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°It¡¯s the same for you.¡± Bang bang! Yang Tianzhen and Xiao Chun¡¯s hearts trembled. What kind of immortal boss was this! Buzz¡ª Buzz¡ª At this moment, Luo Feng¡¯s phone rang. He pressed the call button without even looking at it. ¡°Hello? Is it done?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Xie Yan¡¯s voice came. ¡°You bought a studio after going out for a while? Are you going to change the focus of your work?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You don¡¯t need me for anything. I¡¯ll come up with other sidelines.¡± Luo Feng laughed. ¡°I really have to hand it to you. You can¡¯t stay idle for a moment.¡± Xie Yan complained helplessly. Then, he said something comforting. ¡°Contact me anytime if you need anything. The broadcast software is underway. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± After saying that, he hung up. Yang Tianzhen and Xiao Chun listened to the conversation between the two sides. They were not superiors or subordinates, but partners in battle. They could trust each other with their backs. Yang Tianzhen had once seen the history of Gather Sift Takeaway and knew that Luo Feng had a team that had fought side by side since he was a student. From having nothing to becoming the number one takeaway company in the country. Such feelings were indeed precious. Yang Tianzhen was very envious and understood the source of Luo Feng¡¯s confidence. Luo Feng put down his phone and said to the two of them, ¡°The handover has been done. From now on, you¡¯re a member of this company. What should I name?¡± The scene of the boss naming in front of the employees was a little funny. Luo Feng thought for a while and said, ¡°How about ¡®Innovative Artist¡¯?¡± Yang Tianzhen and Xiao Chun felt that it was very good. The word ¡°innovative¡± was very in line with their goal¡ªthey were not celebrities in the traditional sense, but internet celebrities in new art! They both nodded repeatedly. The two of them had seen the company established. In the future, when it develops well, they will be the pioneers. How could they not be excited?! Luo Feng also nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Then it¡¯s settled¡­ No, it can¡¯t be settled yet!¡± ¡°Why?¡± The other two asked in surprise. Could it be that the boss had other considerations? Luo Feng quickly stood up and said, ¡°Your lady boss doesn¡¯t know the situation here yet. I have to go back and ask her for instructions!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Yang Tianzhen and Xiao Chun opened their mouths wide, thinking that President Luo, who was so successful, had to listen to his wife¡¯s arrangements. Of course, they did not understand the meaning behind it. Luo Feng said, ¡°Prepare yourselves first. Come in the general direction. I¡¯ll be back soon!¡± With that, he ran downstairs in a hurry. Chapter 304 - 304 President Luo Is Here, Public Display Of Affection (PDA) To A Whole New Level! 304 President Luo Is Here, Public Display Of Affection (PDA) To A Whole New Level! Why did he have to seek Ai Tingya¡¯s opinion? This was because as long as she agreed to place the company under her name, he would have a cash return on all the investments in the company in the future. Luo Feng roughly calculated on the way to Good Me Milk Tea Company. Investing in the company and being able to get Ai Tingya¡¯s interest and give Yang Tianzhen and the artist¡¯s salary was another form of interest. He would be counting so much money that his hands would go weak! ¡°Hehehe.¡± Luo Feng could not help but laugh. He had been smiling since he got into the taxi until he reached Good Me. He bought two large bags of food downstairs and packed Ai Tingya¡¯s favorite food into a small bag. He carried them upstairs happily. ¡°President Luo is here!!¡± ¡°President Luo is here to deliver benefits again! Everyone, quickly line up and welcome him!¡± ¡°President Luo is so considerate. I really envy our boss!¡± As soon as he entered, the employees of Good Me rushed forward and divided the things Luo Feng brought like chickens. They came and went in a hurry. Luo Feng was like a helpless breeder. They had already finished snatching things and returned to their respective workstations before he could remind everyone to be careful. They winked to express their gratitude. ¡°Where¡¯s your Boss Ai?¡± Luo Feng took the snacks he had prepared for Ai Tingya. A female employee about the same age as Luo Feng said, ¡°Boss Ai is in the office.¡± Luo Feng thought about it and felt that it made sense Ai Tingya still maintained her student spirit after working. She had strict requirements for her work schedule and would complete her work like it was her homework. She would not go out if she could not complete it. Under everyone¡¯s envious gazes, Luo Feng pushed open the door of Ai Tingya¡¯s office. Ai Tingya looked at the information and said without looking up, ¡°I knew you were here when I heard the commotion outside.¡± Every time Luo Feng came to Good Me Company, he would bring some food for the employees. This made many employees hope that Luo Feng would come every day, so it didn¡¯t matter even if they ate the dog food of the two bosses. ¡°Hehe, if I knew earlier, I would have sneaked in and given you a surprise.¡± Luo Feng walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side and put down his snacks. Ai Tingya threw down her work and turned around to hug Luo Feng¡¯s waist. ¡°Lucky, you¡¯re here. I¡¯m so tired,¡± Ai Tingya said coquettishly. ¡°I still have a lot of documents to read and two meetings waiting for me. I¡¯m so tired.¡± Luo Feng stroked her hair with heartache. ¡°I might as well find you two secretaries and let them share your burden!¡± ¡°No!¡± Ai Tingya refused firmly. ¡°A secretary has a secretary¡¯s job. I should be the one to complete the boss¡¯s job.¡± ¡°Why are you still so stubborn?¡± Luo Feng scratched Ai Tingya¡¯s nose helplessly. At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. Ai Tingya pushed Luo Feng away and sat up straight. ¡°Please come in.¡± ¡°Boss Ai, these are the documents we need for the meeting later. I¡¯ll call you in half an hour. You can rest for a while in the meantime.¡± Secretary Ju seemed to be stepping on the pulley, reporting her work as she walked. Then, he turned around and left without looking up. He did not realize that there was another person in the office. ¡°Thank you.¡± Ai Tingya felt a headache coming on when she received the information. Luo Feng could not help but laugh. ¡°Your Secretary Ju is really capable. She doesn¡¯t even utter an extra word. She¡¯s indeed not bad.¡± ¡°You think so too, right.¡± Ai Tingya relaxed and leaned back in her chair. She raised her small face proudly. ¡°There¡¯s definitely no one like her.¡± She was a decisive and cold female boss in front of her employees. Ai Tingya would only show her girly side in front of Luo Feng. She supported her chin and looked at Luo Feng. ¡°Did you come to look for me today for something to tell me?¡± Luo Feng bent down and pinched her soft face. He smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re the smartest. I opened an entertainment agency for you half an hour ago.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Ai Tingya looked like she was about to cry. ¡°Won¡¯t my workload double then?¡± ¡°You can hire me to be your manager and manage the company¡¯s matters on your behalf.¡± Luo Feng squatted down, his eyes filled with love. ¡°But my remuneration is a little expensive.¡± ¡°How expensive?¡± Ai Tingya raised her chin, thinking that she wanted to hear how much it was now that she had some money. Luo Feng leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words. Ai Tingya¡¯s face turned even redder than the sunset on the horizon. ¡°Annoying, you¡¯re so dishonest!¡± Ai Tingya gently rested her head on Luo Feng¡¯s chest and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Luo Feng was amused by her cute appearance. He did not get tired of seeing her this way no matter how many times he looked at her. Seeing that Ai Tingya did not object to the economy company, Luo Feng stood up and said, ¡°Boss Ai, please don¡¯t be too tired. Remember to save some stamina to pay me. I¡¯ll wait for you at night.¡± ¡°Go do your business!¡± Ai Tingya was extremely shy, but she was afraid that the employees outside would hear her. ¡°I¡¯ll go immediately. I¡¯ll place the Innovative Artist Company under Ting Feng. Boss Ai, you¡¯re welcome to check the work at any time.¡± Luo Feng left a flying kiss and floated away. Ai Tingya held her blushing face and had not recovered for a long time. They were already married and she had been with Luo Feng for five to six years. Logically speaking, they could be considered an old couple yet she could still be teased by Luo Feng until their faces turned red and her hearts beat faster. This d*mn charm. Ai Tingya lowered her head and sneered when she heard another knock on the door. Secretary Ju walked in with the tea and looked around the room only to see Ai Tingya. ¡°I heard from the people outside that President Luo is here. This tea¡­¡± ¡°He left again. Put it on the table.¡± Ai Tingya raised the document to cover her red face to avoid her cold image from collapsing. Secretary Ju put down the tea and was not in a hurry to leave. She asked, ¡°Boss Ai, is President Luo here for something?¡± She was an employee recruited by Ai Tingya and knew that even though Ai Tingya was the boss of Good Me, Luo Feng was most likely the one in charge of the company¡¯s development. When Secretary Ju saw Luo Feng coming and going in a hurry, she thought that he had some arrangements. Ai Tingya covered her face and blurted out without thinking, ¡°No, he opened a new company for me and came to tell me.¡± ¡°¡­ Ah¡­ Oh. Then I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± Secretary Ju left with a complicated expression and closed the office door. Facing the group of gossip-faced employees, she closed her mouth again. She wanted to say a lot, but she did not say a word. ¡°Sister Ju, why do you look so strange?¡± A female employee came over and asked with concern. ¡°I just ate dog food.¡± Secretary Ju took a deep breath to calm herself down. When the employees heard this news, they smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Someone said, ¡°It¡¯s just dog food. We¡¯re used to it. We eat it every time President Luo comes. You should get used to it, Sister Ju.¡± Secretary Ju shook her head. She felt that she would never be able to get used to such public displays of affection in her life. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You look like you¡¯ve suffered a blow. President Luo only stayed for a few minutes. The way they show off their affection has even been updated?¡± The female employee asked curiously. Secretary Ju sighed and said, ¡°President Luo is here to tell Boss that he has opened a new company for her.¡± The office fell into a strange silence. The employees silently returned to their desks. They looked like they were working very seriously, but they were actually roaring in their hearts. ¡°President Luo, why are you showing off your affection to a new height?!¡± Chapter 305 - 305 Guidance In Filming, Training The New Team 305 Guidance In Filming, Training The New Team With Ai Tingya¡¯s approval, the Innovative Artist Company was officially under her name. After settling all kinds of procedures, the Internet celebrity forging plan officially began. Yang Tianzhen brought his entire filming team. Luo Feng saw that their potential was very high. They were an outstanding and mature team. However, they did not know what Yang Tianzhen had instilled in the team. They were full of enthusiasm, but they did not mention anything about their salaries. Luo Feng was very dissatisfied! ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t you look too happy?¡± Yang Tianzhen was worried when he saw that Luo Feng¡¯s expression was not good. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m very surprised that you haven¡¯t mentioned anything about your salaries,¡± Luo Feng said sadly. He sat by the fence, in front of a divided water field, and behind him was a small farm garden. The filming team was setting up the scene. Yang Tianzhen could not understand what Luo Feng was worried about. He only secretly made up his mind to film an exciting video! Before that, he had no face to ask for a salary! Luo Feng saw that he was not enlightened enough. He had already said so much. Why was he still not enlightened? He felt bitter. Why didn¡¯t he meet a capable and money-loving person? Helpless, Luo Feng could only talk about work first and strive to get to the main topic as soon as possible. ¡°Did the interview go smoothly on your side?¡± ¡°It didn¡¯t go well.¡± Yang Tianzhen lowered her head, feeling very ashamed. In order to speed up the work progress, Luo Feng wanted Yang Tianzhen to start work on both sides. He continued to recruit new people while filming Xiao Chun¡¯s video. The recruitment conditions were also unlimited. Luo Feng only asked for one thing: something special and worthy of Yang Tianzhen¡¯s attention. The conditions seemed to be unlimited, but Yang Tianzhen was helpless. In the past, when he chose trainees, he could look at their faces, figures, and specialties. These restrictions were no longer useful now. Yang Tian chose a few candidates and did not know if his choice would catch Luo Feng¡¯s eye. ¡°How did it not go well?¡± Luo Feng asked. Yang Tianzhen said, ¡°I don¡¯t know if my choice is the best.¡± ¡°Then get a few alternatives.¡± Luo Feng was very happy that the company was going to have another new member. ¡°Let me take a look and give you a reference.¡± Yang Tianzhen squirmed for a while and said, ¡°I chose a few people. They¡¯ll be here for the interview today. Let¡¯s take a look together.¡± Luo Feng looked around. ¡°This place is a little far from the center of Shanghai. If they can come here for an interview, it means that they¡¯re very determined. This can also be considered a test. You¡¯re so thoughtful.¡± Yang Tianzhen looked to the side in embarrassment. He had seen all kinds of monsters in the entertainment industry, but never seen someone like Luo Feng, who treated people sincerely and spared a thought for someone else. Yang Tianzhen was touched again and sped up flipping through the resume. He definitely had to find an excellent candidate to satisfy Luo Feng! Luo Feng went to guide the setting of the scene and taught Xiao Chun how to act next. As it was the first round, Luo Feng wanted to see the effect first, so he asked Xiao Chun to change her clothes and prepare to go to the field. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your clothes?¡± Luo Feng looked at her rough old clothes. There were two patches on her knees, and her hair was only tied in a simple ponytail. Luo Feng shook his head and said, ¡°No! You can¡¯t reflect the peaceful life in the countryside at all. Where¡¯s the ancient costume I got someone to prepare?¡± ¡°Ancient costume?!¡± Xiao Chun was very surprised. Agricultural work was dirty and tiring to begin with, and there were all kinds of worms in the field. The wide sleeves of her pants were simply a burden. It would definitely not work! Luo Feng ignored the act recklessly and threw caution to the wind. He stuffed the light ancient clothes into Xiao Chun¡¯s arms and let her change into them. Xiao Chun opened her mouth to say something, but Luo Feng was the boss. Her boss¡¯s orders were absolute, therefore, she could only change into them. During this period, Luo Feng chose a piece of land and thought about what scene to show next. The filming team staff listened to his command and were extremely busy. After Xiao Chun finished putting on her makeup, Luo Feng asked the makeup team to put on a little light makeup for her and change her ponytail to a braid. After some tidying up, Xiao Chun, who was originally normal-looking, had been reborn into a little fresh fairy. Even the staff could not help but praise Luo Feng for his good taste. He chose makeup that was suitable for Xiao Tong. Even though Xiao Tong was very happy to become prettier, she was still skeptical. Farm work would make her sweat after all. Her light makeup would be smudged in less than five minutes. She took the hoe and walked to the designated position. In order to fit her makeup, she imagined that she was Lin Daiyu, the one who buried flowers. She swung the hoe weakly. She had just started digging when ¡°Cut!¡± Luo Feng stopped him. ¡°Xiao Chun, you¡¯re too fake. You don¡¯t have to deliberately perform. Just dig normally.¡± Xiao Chun nodded. She would do whatever Luo Feng said. After adjusting it a few times, Xiao Chun¡¯s digging movements finally became interesting. Luo Feng began to know the language of the camera. ¡°Let¡¯s continue filming like this. Capture the envious bits and pieces of rural life and edit it. Do you understand?¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Got it!¡± After a day of cooperation, the filming team slightly understood what Luo Feng meant. Gradually, they could find the scene independently and did not need Luo Feng to constantly watch from the side. He was also happy to be free. He returned to the small courtyard and found a shady place to sit down. ¡°Is the interviewee not here yet?¡± Luo Feng asked Yang Tianzhen. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s head was about to fall to her chest. ¡°A few of them called and said that they were too far away to come. Only one said that they would arrive later. I don¡¯t think they will come either.¡± He was very ashamed and felt that he could not raise his head in front of Luo Feng. ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Luo Feng comforted. ¡°In any case, the platform¡¯s development will take some time. There¡¯s enough time to slowly unearth it.¡± He knew that Yang Tianzhen was anxious to prove herself not only to tell Luo Feng that choosing him was definitely not wrong, but also to tell his former boss how much of a loss it would be to abandon him. However, there was a saying that more haste less speed. Sometimes, things would go smoothly when he calmed down. Seeing that Yang Tianzhen was very depressed, Luo Feng walked into the house and poured two cups of tea. The two of them sat in the clean farm courtyard and drank tea. They sat and watched the clouds rise and fall in the sky, feeling a little at ease as if they were in a paradise. Yang Tianzhen was surprised to discover that he had really calmed down a lot. ¡­ The filming went very smoothly in the afternoon. The more the filming team filmed, the more smoothly everything went. They could not stop filming. They only returned from the fields when it was almost dark. The village should be the liveliest in the evening. Every family had a fire to cook, and smoke came from the chimneys. They could hear the sound of running water next door and the sizzle of cooking. ¡°Thank you for your hard work today!¡± Xiao Chun¡¯s face was flushed. As the only protagonist in the camera, she had never received such treatment. She said gratefully, ¡°I¡¯ll cook tonight. Everyone, please wait a moment!¡± She came from a village, so firewood stoves were not a problem for her. The others helped wash the vegetables and split the firewood. It really felt like a farmhouse. At this moment, Luo Feng silently carried the camera. Chapter 306 - 306 Newcomer Interview, Please Show Your Specialty 306 Newcomer Interview, Please Show Your Specialty Xiao Chun was very good at cooking. As soon as the oil in the pot heated up, the vegetables were poured in with a sizzling sound. The spatula quickly stir-fried twice and was neatly scooped onto the plate. A dish that looked, smelled, and smelled good was ready. In less than an hour, more than 10 dishes were placed on the table one after another. The lights in the farmer¡¯s courtyard were hung up, and seven to eight people sat together. It was very lively. ¡°Just take another panoramic shot.¡± Luo Feng raised the camera and walked around the table. ¡°Done.¡± Luo Feng sat in the main seat after turning off the camera. That was the seat that the employee had tacitly reserved for him. ¡°Everyone has worked hard today. Thank you, Xiao Chun, for making a table of talents. It¡¯s like the New Year, hahaha.¡± Luo Feng said playfully to liven up the atmosphere. Everyone looked at each other and smiled. They had worked for a long time, but they had never met a boss like Luo Feng who was so down-to-earth. The atmosphere at the dining table was also very harmonious. Everyone had just poured the wine when a weak voice interrupted them. ¡°May I ask if this is the interview venue for Innovative Artists?¡± A little girl in her early twenties stood outside the fence, her pants stained with mud. She pursed her lips and looked at everyone timidly. Luo Feng and Yang Tianzhen looked at each other. They did not expect someone to really come for an interview. It was even mealtime. Everyone looked at the little girl in unison and was a little embarrassed. She said timidly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it here?¡± ¡°It¡¯s here, it¡¯s here!¡± Yang Tianzhen hurriedly put down his wine glass and welcomed her in. It was not easy for an interview to happen. He could not let it go. ¡°Really?¡± The little girl revealed a smile and quickly restrained it. Her eyes looked around in panic. ¡°I don¡¯t think I came at the right time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the right time.¡± Luo Feng added a set of bowls and chopsticks. ¡°Let¡¯s talk while eating.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not here to freeload,¡± the little girl hurriedly explained. ¡°I arrived in the afternoon, but I¡¯m so late because it¡¯s my first time here. I got lost and had a fall. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°You could have called me directly and asked me to pick you up.¡± Yang Tianzhen slapped his forehead. ¡°I didn¡¯t consider it carefully. I¡¯m sorry.¡± The little girl felt better when he said that. Her limbs were not so reserved. Everyone chatted as they ate. The young lady¡¯s name was Tang Jin. She was a second-year student and was looking for a part-time job when she was not busy with her schoolwork. She accidentally saw a recruitment advertisement for the Innovative Artist Corporation on the Internet. It said that there were no restrictions on the conditions and experience. Therefore, he braced himself to give it a try. Yang Tianzhen saw that the little girl was petite and quite cute, so she said, ¡°Can you tell us your specialty first?¡± Tang Jin thought about it seriously. ¡°Does doing questions count?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I¡¯m taking Mathematics in the University, and my results are not bad.¡± As she spoke, she glanced at Luo Feng and subconsciously blushed. ¡°This¡­¡± Yang Tianzhen swayed and turned to look at Luo Feng. She asked softly, ¡°Boss, does this count?¡± Luo Feng nodded. ¡°Of course. However, please elaborate so that we can understand your situation better. As long as you have something that others don¡¯t, you can treat it as a specialty.¡± Tang Jin blinked and stuttered, ¡°Specialty¡­ Specialty¡­ I can eat a lot. Does that count?¡± These words were true. The others stopped eating. After a short silence, everyone laughed. ¡°Hahaha! Sister Tang Jin, you¡¯re too honest!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that we look down on you. How much can you eat with your small body?¡± ¡°Yes, I think it¡¯s good enough to do questions.¡± Everyone laughed as they set the table. Tang Jin did not refute. She only blushed and glared at everyone indignantly. Yang Tianzhen was caught between laughter and tears. When she turned around and saw Luo Feng¡¯s admiring face, she immediately stopped laughing and hurriedly stopped the others from laughing with her eyes. ¡°Tang Jin, how much can you eat?¡± Luo Feng asked seriously. Tang Jin glanced at the dozen or so dishes on the table and whispered, ¡°I should be able to eat half of the dishes on the table.¡± ¡°That¡¯s really amazing.¡± Luo Feng could not help but sigh. She could eat five to six dishes a meal, which was equivalent to the appetite of four adults. Originally, it was not much. However, Tang Jin was not tall, only about 1.5 meters tall. She was also small. Other than her round face, she did not have any weight on her. She was so small-sized, but she could eat so much. There was a contrast. ¡°Then eat as much as you can. Don¡¯t worry about us.¡± Luo Feng had a wonderful idea and wanted to see Tang Jin¡¯s strength. Tang Jin nodded and said to Yang Tianzhen, ¡°Please find me a rice bowl with half of the rice.¡± Yang Tianzhen did as she said and scooped a solid bowl of rice for her. Then, everyone at the table watched as Tang Jin picked up the dishes in front of her and poured them into the rice bowl. She poured six dishes in a row, picked up the soup spoon, mixed them, and began to eat in big mouthfuls. ¡°I¡­ Let¡¯s eat too.¡± Yang Tianzhen was frightened by her attitude and unnaturally called for everyone to eat the remaining dishes. Luo Feng looked at Tang Jin as he ate. He realized that she looked very satisfied when she ate, bite by bite. She ate very cleanly and had good table etiquette. Most importantly, she ate much faster. ¡°I¡¯m done eating.¡± Tang Jin pressed her palms together and was filled with gratitude for the food. ¡°Already?¡± Yang Tianzhen looked at the remaining rice in his bowl. He was a man who weighed nearly 200 catties. How could he eat less than a little girl?! ¡°Are you full?¡± Luo Feng asked. Tang Jin looked at the other dishes on the table and waved her hand. ¡°You won¡¯t have anything to eat if I eat anymore.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Eat until you¡¯re satisfied!¡± Luo Feng made the decision. In any case, he had already bought this small farm garden. There was rice, noodles, vegetables, and meat inside. She could eat whatever she wanted. ¡°Really?! That¡¯s great!¡± Tang Jin was so happy that she almost jumped up. She took the remaining dishes away without hesitation and added some rice for herself. Everyone was dumbfounded and sighed that this was too delicious! When Luo Feng asked Tang Jin what her upper limit was just now, this girl¡¯s answer was clearly too humble. More than half of the dozen dishes on the table went into Tang Jin¡¯s stomach. After the second round, Tang Jin patted her stomach in satisfaction. ¡°Phew, I haven¡¯t eaten so full in a long time. I¡¯m really satisfied!¡± ¡°Can you still eat?¡± Luo Feng asked her. ¡°If there¡¯s more, I can eat more!¡± Tang Jin said. ¡°Don¡¯t eat anymore.¡± Yang Tianzhen was shocked. ¡°What if your stomach bloats?¡± Tang Jin smiled and said, ¡°No, I¡¯ve always eaten a lot.¡± This soaring appetite and large-capacity stomach clearly exceeded the scope of a normal person. In order to dispel everyone¡¯s concerns, Tang Jin took the initiative to mention the secret about why she could eat as much as she could. It turned out that her family¡¯s conditions were not good when she was young. With her illness, her gastrointestinal function was impaired. After that, her absorption ability was not good. She was also shorter than her peers. Tang Jin¡¯s parents mistakenly thought that she was malnourished because she was picky about food. When they were free, they would stuff her with food and gradually fill her stomach. Chapter 307 - 307 I Applied Because Of The Boss! 307 I Applied Because Of The Boss! Tang Jin¡¯s appetite had increased, but her absorption was still very poor. This also caused her to eat a lot, but she still looked thin and small. ¡°I see.¡± Yang Tianzhen nodded. Even though this girl¡¯s experience was heartbreaking, her physique was really rare. She should be the type that many girls would envy. However¡­ could eating too much be considered a talent? Yang Tianzhen could not help but suspect that the others had the same thoughts. Performing farming was already a rather ridiculous idea. She could not possibly perform eating in front of the camera again, right? Everyone¡¯s gaze shifted to Luo Feng. When they saw his eyes filled with admiration, they felt that something was wrong. ¡°Boss seems to be serious. Look at his gaze.¡± ¡°No way. Aren¡¯t we creating internet celebrities? Why are we farming and eating?¡± ¡°Stop talking and listen to the boss¡¯s arrangements.¡± Even though everyone was muttering in their hearts, they still had to leave the decision to Luo Feng. As expected, Luo Feng slapped the table and stood up. ¡°Very good, you¡¯ve been hired! Manager Yang, contact Tang Jin about work hours. The rest of you, follow me to the kitchen.¡± It was inevitable that the newbies would be nervous when they joined. Luo Feng left Yang Tianzhen alone to communicate while the others went to the kitchen to cook. Looking at the back view of the majestic crowd squeezing into the kitchen, Tang Jin asked, ¡°Manager, I have been hired?¡± She did not believe it herself. What kind of performance would eating a lot be? ¡°You¡¯ve been hired.¡± Yang Tianzhen¡¯s expression was complicated, and so was his mood. He could not understand what Luo Feng was thinking anymore. However, the boss had already spoken. Just like them at that time, he said that he would be hired and would immediately be able to receive her salary. ¡°Ha¡­ Then what will my future work content be?¡± Tang Jin quickly accepted reality. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, your job content should be to perform and eat in front of the camera.¡± Yang Tianzhen pinched the space between his eyebrows. He smiled as he spoke. ¡°I still have to listen to the boss¡¯s arrangements. I just joined not long ago.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Tang Jin nodded and sat upright, as if he was waiting obediently. Yang Tianzhen could not help but be curious. ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything else to ask?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me to listen to the boss¡¯s arrangements? I¡¯ll wait for him to come out,¡± Tang Jin said matter-of-factly. Originally, she wanted to go straight to the kitchen to look for Luo Feng, but she glanced at the hot kitchen. They were all busy cooking and had no time to care about her. Seeing her innocent expression, Yang Tianzhen could not help but ask, ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange here?¡± He made her travel all the way from the city to the countryside for an interview. After asking about the basic situation, she would directly go on a talent show. Moreover, the reason why she was hired was actually because she ate so much. To ask herself honestly, Yang Tianzhen felt that if she were Tang Jin, she would definitely suspect that this company was a swindler with ill intentions and run as far as possible without looking back. But Tang Jin actually accepted it?! She had no intention of leaving at all. ¡°Uh¡­ You will be easily deceived with your background.¡± Yang Tianzhen could not take it anymore and wanted to give this innocent girl some understanding about society. ¡°Why?¡± Tang Jin blinked her big eyes, revealing her clear naivety. ¡°Because look, our situation today is special. It¡¯s the first day of work, so we chose a remote place for the interview. However, if it were any other company, the interview would have to be in a crowded office building or a formal company¡­ In short, if it was any other company that made such a request, you definitely shouldn¡¯t go alone,¡± Yang Tianzhen said hesitantly. He did not know if he had expressed his reaction clearly and looked up at Tang Jin. ¡°This is common sense. I know.¡± She looked like she understood. ¡°Do you really understand?¡± Yang Tianzhen expressed his doubts. If you knew, why did you come so far? Tang Jin nodded seriously. ¡°If it were any other company, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have come if I had to travel so far, but your company is different.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Yang Tianzhen was very surprised. Their company had only been established for a few days and had yet to build a reputation. ¡°Because the boss is Luo Feng,¡± Tang Jin said. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t seen Boss Luo, I might have turned around and left.¡± Her words confused Yang Tianzhen even more. Even though Luo Feng¡¯s charm could indeed conquer people, it was not to the extent that he could conquer strangers too. Could it be because of his boss¡¯s handsome face? Yang Tianzhen was about to sigh that the young ladies nowadays were all superficial when she heard Tang Jin explain, ¡°Manager, you don¡¯t usually pay attention to the news of the academic world, right?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the connection?¡± Yang Tianzhen asked. Unexpectedly, Tang Jin looked surprised. ¡°You actually don¡¯t know how authoritative Luo Feng is?¡± She took out her phone as if she was presenting a treasure. The screen saver was actually a photo of Luo Feng standing on the podium. ¡°Luo Feng is an outstanding scholar who solved the mathematics century problem. He¡¯s an outstanding graduate of Oxford University who is exempt from all courses! The Fields Medal even begged him to allow them to confer it onto him!¡± Tang Jin knew Luo Feng¡¯s glorious deeds like the back of her hand. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s eyes widened as he exclaimed, ¡°Is our boss that powerful?¡± He only knew that Luo Feng was very talented in composing and was the boss of the largest takeaway company in the country. He was also a willful investor. He did not expect him to have such outstanding academic achievements. He was simply a top talent in all aspects! ¡°That¡¯s right! I came because of him!¡± Tang Jin was extremely excited. She studied mathematics in University, so she had always admired Luo Feng. Tang Jin happened to see Luo Feng¡¯s entertainment company hiring and wanted to see her idol and see if she could join. ¡°So you¡¯re here because you trust the boss.¡± Yang Tianzhen smiled. What a wonderful fate this was. Their boss¡¯s achievements in another industry had helped them recruit a second employee. ¡°That¡¯s right, but I also have plans to find a job. It¡¯s difficult for me to find a job after graduating from my major after all.¡± Tang Jin was a little worried. Back then, she chose her major purely out of interest. However, when she really went to university, she realized that the employment prospects for someone who majored in Mathematics were very narrow. It was even more so for an ordinary student like her. Her family¡¯s conditions were not very good. In order to support her studies in the university, her parents seemed to be carrying a huge mountain on their backs. In addition, Tang Jin¡¯s expenses for food were high and she urgently needed a job subsidy. She did not expect her to really find a job to earn a living. The most important thing was to work with her idol. Tang Jin felt that she was going to wake up from her dream laughing. Just as the two of them were chatting happily, the second round of dishes was ready. After a busy day, they also witnessed Tang Jin¡¯s huge appetite. Everyone at the table had a huge appetite and felt that tonight¡¯s meal was especially fragrant. The employee, who usually could only eat one bowl of rice, had eaten a second bowl today. Luo Feng silently watched the changes in his employees and knew that he had chosen the right person. Chapter 308 - 308 Chasing The Boss Away? Wheres Your Dignity! 308 Chasing The Boss Away? Where¡¯s Your Dignity! ¡°The main content of our filming now is agricultural life. Tang Jin, you¡¯re in charge of eating after the crops are harvested.¡± Luo Feng said to the two main leads, ¡°For example, the harvest of the little pure-blooded soybeans will definitely not be small. You can come up with a soybean theme. Other than the growth process of the crops, there will also be the final production, such as braised meat with soybeans or making tofu.¡± Xiao Chun and Tang Jin nodded repeatedly and could not help but feel happy. The job content was what they were good at. There was no burden at all. ¡°Really? I just have to be in charge of eating?¡± Tang Jin clapped happily and did not forget to give Luo Feng a warning. ¡°Boss, I really eat a lot!¡± What she really meant was that she did not want to bankrupt the company with her eating. Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this. Luo Feng also felt that this girl was indeed practical. ¡°Considering that you¡¯re still a university student, you can communicate with the team about filming time. Try not to conflict with your time in school.¡± ¡°Thank you, Boss!¡± Tang Jin was so touched that she was about to cry. There was actually a conscientious boss who would worry about her class. It was indeed a two-hour journey from the school to the filming location. She could not come every day. Moreover, she was very embarrassed to come and eat every day. ¡°Therefore, for the sake of fairness, your salary will temporarily be calculated as a part-time job,¡± Luo Feng said. Actually, he really wanted to pay Tang Jin according to the standards of a normal employee, but the other employees would definitely be dissatisfied. In order for the team to be more united in the future, he could only do this for the time being. ¡°No problem!¡± Tang Jin completely accepted it and was so happy that she could not find her way. The temporary arrangements for the main lead were completed. Yang Tianzhen was about to think about the rest. ¡°Boss, when are you going to watch the film?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no hurry.¡± Luo Feng took a bite of food. ¡°I have to give you guys some time to explore. Let¡¯s find the feeling first.¡± Moreover, the software development also needed some time. There was no hurry to finish the product. Hearing this, Yang Tianzhen put down his chopsticks and said, ¡°Is this okay? Our company is only¡­¡± He swallowed the rest of his words along with the food in his mouth. There were some things that could not be discussed in front of the employees. Yang Tianzhen was worried about the company¡¯s future development and was worried that if it dragged on for too long, it would not be profitable and cause huge losses to the company. Even though he was very anxious, he could only keep these words to himself. Luo Feng did not avoid it. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry about your salaries. Our company implements a fixed salary and a commission. As there is no commission for the time being, your fixed salary will increase correspondingly. It won¡¯t be lower than your previous salary.¡± ¡°Really? Boss, you¡¯re the best!¡± ¡°We will definitely work hard and strive to make a work that will satisfy you as soon as possible!¡± ¡°Everyone, hurry up and eat. After eating, we¡¯ll start editing the film.¡± With their salaries settled, the employees were filled with enthusiasm. Luo Feng gave Yang Tianzhen a look, telling him not to worry about money. Completing his work well was more important than anything else. Yang Tianzhen sighed in his heart and said, ¡°Thank you, Boss! We¡¯ll work hard.¡± Luo Feng was very satisfied with everyone¡¯s current state. ¡°It¡¯s too late tonight. Everyone, stay here for the night. I have to return to the company tomorrow to see the development progress of the broadcast software. You can arrange the rest as you please.¡± ¡°Got it!¡± ¡­ The next morning, Luo Feng drove back to Gather Sift Takeaway. During his absence, Xie Yan stayed up for a few nights. The broadcast platform was starting to take shape. ¡°Not bad. I thought I had to give you another month.¡± Luo Feng swiped his phone and experimented with the various functions of the software. ¡°There¡¯s still a long way to go. I¡¯m just giving you a sample.¡± Xie Yan retracted his experimental phone. ¡°It¡¯s not easy to develop the software. The functions you gave me are very clear. It saved a lot of effort, but it will still take at least three months.¡± Xie Yan picked up the blueprint and looked at it. This was a detailed explanation of the functions according to Luo Feng¡¯s request. Seeing the functions that were clearly requested, Xie Yan wondered if Luo Feng had used a similar live streaming software somewhere. Otherwise, how could he be so detailed? ¡°Thank you for your hard work!¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll give you another surprise when you succeed in your research.¡± Xie Yan smiled when he heard this. His tone was teasing. ¡°What surprise are you giving us? A company too?¡± The news that Luo Feng had given Ai Tingya an entertainment company spread throughout Gather Sift Takeaway and Good Me. The employees chatted happily after dinner. ¡°You know about it too?¡± Luo Feng understood what he meant. ¡°Of course.¡± Xie Yan smiled even more happily. ¡°I also heard that some employees are considering jumping ship to debut.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not impossible.¡± Luo Feng nodded seriously. He was not joking at all. In any case, it was their own company. Employees would work wherever they went. Moreover, there were only two internet celebrities in the management company now. They were short of people. As long as they had a specialty, he did not mind his employees debuting. When he heard this, Xie Yan¡¯s smile disappeared. He warned solemnly, ¡°Don¡¯t confuse the morale of the army. What will happen to the company if you poach them?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this just an idea?¡± Luo Feng did not expect him to have such a huge reaction. Xie Yan pursed his lips. ¡°Forget it. Your idea can easily become a reality! You can¡¯t poach my company¡¯s employees!¡± It was unknown if he was praising or insulting him, but Luo Feng said perfunctorily, ¡°I know, I know. I won¡¯t mention it.¡± His casual appearance made Xie Yan¡¯s alarm ring loudly. He immediately began to chase him away. ¡°I¡¯ll look for you if I need you. Don¡¯t come if there¡¯s nothing else. I¡¯ll tell you when the software is ready. Leave quickly.¡± ¡°What?¡± Luo Feng was puzzled and was pushed out by Xie Yan. ¡°I¡¯m the boss. Isn¡¯t it natural for me to stay in the company? Why are you chasing me away?¡± ¡°You still have the cheek to say that.¡± Xie Yan wished he could pack Luo Feng up and send him back to the filming location immediately. ¡°Stay a little longer and the employees are going to ask you about your new company again. Who can I reason with if they¡¯re led astray, so don¡¯t come if there¡¯s nothing else.¡± Xie Yan had experienced Luo Feng¡¯s eloquence before. He could make people¡¯s blood boil with just a few words. After working together for so long, he knew Luo Feng¡¯s ability the best. He would definitely do what he promised. If Luo Feng rashly agreed to make an employee a celebrity, this employee would definitely become one. Xie Yan was not afraid that the employee would become a celebrity. Instead, he was afraid that if others saw it and awakened their celebrity dreams, their hearts would dissipate and the company would almost come to an end. Therefore, for the sake of the company¡¯s future, he had to limit the number of times Luo Feng came to the company! ¡°Hey, hey, hey. Didn¡¯t you want me to stay in the company very much in the past?¡± Luo Feng did not realize Xie Yan¡¯s thoughts and suddenly wanted to return to the office. Xie Yan refused no matter what and kept pushing him out. ¡°In any case, you¡¯re just slacking off here. Why don¡¯t you do something else meaningful? Leave the Gathering Sift to me. Boss, have a safe journey.¡± As he spoke, he pushed Luo Feng out of the door and closed it. ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Feng stood at the door in a daze. He was the boss. Why was he chased out? Chapter 309 - 309 Damn It, Morris Is Secretly Tricking Me! 309 Damn It, Morris Is Secretly Tricking Me! Luo Feng could focus on nurturing internet celebrities after handing Gather Sift Takeaway to Xie Yan. In the beginning, the few videos that were used for testing were all about farming life and were not important. Later on, under Luo Feng¡¯s on-demand broadcast, the team gradually found the focus. The filming became smoother and smoother. Luo Feng watched a few segments and was very satisfied. ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to it. When can we broadcast it?¡± Xiao Chun chatted with Luo Feng as she kneaded the noodles. Today¡¯s filming content was food made from flour. Luo Feng picked up the flower bun on the chopping board. It was noodles made of flour. Most of the tools were chopsticks, combs, rolling pins, and so on. They pressed out all kinds of patterns, some decorated with red dates. He heard that in the past, conditions were difficult and this would only be made when the daughter got married. Luo Feng looked at it curiously. It was indeed very beautiful. ¡°Boss.¡± Seeing that Luo Feng was engrossed, Xiao Chun raised her voice. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you replying to me?¡± ¡°Ah? Oh. It¡¯s too good-looking. I didn¡¯t pay attention.¡± Luo Feng carefully put down the flower bun. ¡°It will take a while more.¡± ¡°How much longer will it take?¡± Xiao Chun could not wait. ¡°The platform is almost done. It¡¯s already in the closed beta stage.¡± Luo Feng picked up a small ball of dough and pinched it to play. ¡°I uploaded a few videos of you. What I have to do next is to divert the flow.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already uploaded. Does anyone want to see it?¡± Xiao Chun patted the flour on her hand and could not wait to squeeze to Luo Feng¡¯s side. Luo Feng took out his phone and opened an app called ¡°Microcosm¡±. As soon as the app opened, Xiao Chun¡¯s face popped up. The playback scene was vertical and occupied the entire phone screen. Luo Feng scrolled down a few videos, and what appeared were basically all of Xiao Chun. The microcosm seemed to be Xiao Chun¡¯s private broadcast platform. She was the only one inside. ¡°I just have to swipe on the video?¡± Xiao Chun was a little excited and shy. Luo Feng taught her how to operate. ¡°The following dialog box can send bullet comments. The words of the netizens can scroll on the video. The three buttons beside it are ¡®like¡¯, ¡®reply¡¯, and ¡®share¡¯.¡± ¡°When will someone reply to me?¡± Xiao Chun was extremely excited. ¡°No one is looking at it for the time being. We will move to the flow directing stage very soon,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Take a few more videos and I¡¯ll post them together.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± After saying that, Xiao Chun ran back and kneaded the dough even harder. After leaving the kitchen, Luo Feng saw Yang Tianzhen sitting in the courtyard in a daze. He was still holding some paper resumes in his hand with a worried expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did the interviews not go well?¡± Luo Feng sat beside him and asked. ¡°The interview hasn¡¯t gone smoothly since the beginning.¡± Yang Tianzhen couldn¡¯t help but complain as he slapped the resumes on the ground. Luo Feng picked it up and looked at it. ¡°Aren¡¯t these people quite good?¡± Yang Tianzhen shook his head angrily. ¡°I think this person is quite good after showing his specialty. I¡¯ve already arranged a position for him, but he said that he won¡¯t come on the day he¡¯s supposed to come.¡± ¡°This one requests us to spend good resources to support her. She said that she wants to become famous in a month.¡± ¡°This is the most infuriating thing. He promised to come to work. The next day, I saw him downstairs at that company.¡± Yang Tianzhen hated the previous company so much that she did not even want to mention its name. He adjusted his sitting posture and faced Luo Feng. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t you think we can¡¯t always be so unlucky? I asked someone I knew the other to find out about what had happened and it turned out that everyone I liked had gone to our enemy!¡± Yang Tianzhen gritted his teeth in hatred. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. ¡°I see. Then there are only the two of them now.¡± Luo Feng put down these resumes. ¡°It¡¯s okay, we won¡¯t bite off more than you can chew. If we make the two of them famous and make a name for ourselves, we won¡¯t have to be afraid that no one will come.¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯re really the most optimistic and calm person I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± Yang Tianzhen admired him. ¡°If you¡¯re like me and have experienced a lot, you¡¯ll know that it¡¯s useless to be anxious. Why don¡¯t you spend your energy where it¡¯s within your ability?¡± Luo Feng said sincerely. ¡°Do your best and let fate tell us the results. This is my principle.¡± ¡°Wow!¡± Yang Tianzhen cupped her face, his eyes shining with admiration. He looked at Luo Feng like a girl chasing after a celebrity. After a while, Yang Tianzhen pondered over the taste again. Why did Luo Feng sound so old-fashioned? He was clearly a young man in his twenties but his attitude seemed more like a 40-odd middle-aged man. ¡°Boss, you¡­ Boss?¡± Yang Tianzhen looked around and did not notice when Luo Feng left the small courtyard. ¡­ The Microcosm app had already uploaded many videos of Xiao Chun and Tang Jin, but there were very few users. They had also invested a lot of money in developing the software. Xie Yan broke out in a cold sweat for Luo Feng. ¡°It¡¯s okay, right? You started to invest in the market so rashly,¡± Xie Yan said. ¡°Don¡¯t spend a lot of money and end up reaping nothing.¡± ¡°How can that be? You shouldn¡¯t be worried about me.¡± Luo Feng was full of confidence. Xie Yan originally believed in Luo Feng. The research and development conditions given to him by Luo Feng were very perfect after all. It was as if Luo Feng had once used them and made them without much testing. However, Luo Feng¡¯s method of promoting the software was really a little ridiculous. Xie Xie looked at the advertisement filmed by the Innovative Artist team. The content was really too advanced. ¡°Do you really want to use these advertisement videos to divert attention?¡± Xie Yan asked one last time. ¡°And this reward mechanism of yours¡­¡± ¡°Of course. Don¡¯t you think it attracts attention?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that it¡¯s a little funny¡­¡± ¡°Just wait and see the effect. I¡¯ve already signed an advertisement contract with someone and am about to meet the netizens. Don¡¯t forget to post publicity for the takeaway software provider,¡± Luo Feng instructed them one by one. Xie Yan nodded reluctantly. He was very worried that these advertisements would anger the users, but Luo Feng was the boss and he could only listen to his arrangements. Luo Feng was confident. He watched the short videos in the Microcosm app and gave Xiao Chun and the others better videos a ¡®like¡¯. Soon, the advertisements were out. Many netizens would see a very subtle advertisement when they opened some commonly used software, such as Gather Sift Takeaway, Amazon shopping software, and even online lesson software. For example, if a woman wanted to buy a drink and there was not enough change in her account, the man selling water would take her phone and help her resolve her urgent needs. The method was to download the Microcosm app, swipe videos, like them, and save these posts. They would all be given gold coins. When the gold coins were saved up to a certain amount, they would be returned to cash. The performance in the advertisement was extremely exaggerated. It could be transferred to more than ten videos after farming for more than 10 seconds. This kind of obvious advertisement made the users confused. They even suspected that they had opened a fake app or that their phones had been poisoned. ¡°What the f*ck is this? How can there be such a good thing!¡± ¡°F*ck, which retarded company filmed this?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to see the advertisement! Can you tell me how to turn it off!¡± During the period when they first invested in the advertisement, the Internet was filled with ridicule. Most netizens expressed that they hated such eye-catching advertisements. Chapter 310 - 310 Can The Trouble Caused Be Calculated With Money? 310 Can The Trouble Caused Be Calculated With Money? The response to the advertisement entering the market was not good. Most of the netizens could not wait to close the advertisement before it ended. After all, they did not open the takeaway app because they had nothing to do. They were definitely about to buy food. These advertisements simply delayed their waiting for food. For this reason, the Gather Sift Takeaway app received complaints from many customers, asking them to cancel their cooperation with the advertisers. In the beginning, the customer service of Gather Sift Takeaway was like a robot. They repeated the same words in the face of the cascading complaints. They accepted them humbly and shouldn¡¯t have done it no matter what. It was mainly because there was no partner. The advertisement was invested in by the boss, Luo Feng. Xie Yan would call Luo Feng almost every day to complain, asking him to either withdraw the advertisement or change to something acceptable so that he would not look so stupid. However, Luo Feng felt that the current feedback was not bad and insisted on not changing. ¡°I have no objections to you diverting the funds for the new company¡¯s project, but can you change your expression? At least not so¡­¡± Xie Yan did not say the word ¡°stupid¡± and said tactfully, ¡°You have to consider your future reputation.¡± Luo Feng did not mind. ¡°Old Xie, you don¡¯t understand. The most terrifying thing about the flow economy is not paying attention. The netizens are scolding enthusiastically, which means that they know of the existence of the Microcosm.¡± ¡°Soon, these people will become loyal users of the Microworld!¡± Luo Feng was still very confident. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯re the boss¡­¡± Xie Yan was speechless and hung up. Luo Feng had just put down his phone when he received another call. ¡°Uncle Yang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°My boss, something bad has happened. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin are going on strike.¡± Yang Tianzhen was extremely anxious. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are they going on strike because of the advertisement?¡± Luo Feng was not surprised at all. His two lifetimes of experience told him that how could business be smooth-sailing? ¡°The little girls are thin-skinned, especially Tang Jin. She said that her classmates laughed at her in school.¡± Yang Tianzhen was also in a difficult position. If this was in the past, he would comfort the artists in Morris. Everything would be fine in the future because the netizens¡¯ reactions and market feedback were all within his control. However, Luo Feng was the one in charge of the overall situation now. He did not dare to guarantee that he could only contact Luo Feng if anything went wrong. ¡°I¡¯ll come over immediately. Take care of the two of them first,¡± Luo Feng said. After telling Ai Tingya, Luo Feng drove to the farm garden for filming in the dark. As soon as he parked the car, he heard a plaintive cry before he entered the house. Two different voices appeared intertwined and stretched endlessly. During this period, there were comforts from time to time. Luo Feng walked into the courtyard and saw that the table was filled with dishes. He did not touch them at all. He walked to the door and knocked. It was immediately opened. Yang Tianzhen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He couldn¡¯t wait to pull Luo Feng into the house and shouted, ¡°The boss is here. Don¡¯t cry first.¡± The crying stopped abruptly. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin looked up at Luo Feng with red and swollen eyes. ¡°Why are you crying like this? Take an ice bag and apply it to the two of them.¡± Luo Feng was concerned. The two crying people originally wanted to complain, but when they saw how gentle Luo Feng was, they were too embarrassed to speak. They looked at each other sobbingly, waiting for the other party to speak first. ¡°Tell me, why are you crying?¡± Luo Feng sat down and asked first. ¡°Boss, it¡¯s that advertisement,¡± Xiao Chun said. ¡°My mother saw it and called to laugh at me. She said that I¡¯ve embarrassed her. I might as well go back and farm.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same for our classmates. Even the teacher knows me!¡± Tang Jin straightened her neck. The two of them regretted it. When they read the script, they felt a little retarded and thought that the end products would be better. However, they did not expect it to be even more retarded! Not only did the two of them not realize their dream of becoming celebrities, but they also became a joke. ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t cry first.¡± Luo Feng looked at the two of them and said, ¡°I heard from Manager Yang that you don¡¯t want to film anymore?¡± His words were really familiar. Wasn¡¯t it just a powerful boss and a novice from a conversation company who often appeared in movies? It looked like they were discussing, but it was actually a warning. As long as the novice expressed any dissatisfaction with the boss, his subordinates would immediately take out the contract. It was filled with unequal conditions, similar to a slave contract. Xiao Chun had suffered once at Morris. Luo Feng¡¯s performance was too similar. She could not help but be a little nervous. She deliberated and said, ¡°I was just angry just now. I hope the Boss can consider our image in real life.¡± ¡°But the advertisement has already been released. If we take it back now, the money we invested previously will be wasted,¡± Luo Feng said honestly. Even though he was rich, he would not want to waste his money. It had to be used on the blade. Hearing this, the two of them sniffed, not knowing what to do. Xiao Chun was even more anxious. This was because she knew that some management companies would adopt a tough attitude and methods when facing disobedient artists. A contract would crush them to death. They had to do it no matter what! This was the most convenient and concise method. Many management companies used it. Could it be that Luo Feng also¡­ Xiao Chun¡¯s heart was beating like a drum. ¡°I¡¯ve thought of many ways and feel that I can only continue to wrong you,¡± Luo Feng said calmly. The two of their hearts skipped a beat. Could it be that Luo Feng was starting to force them? Right on the heels of that, Luo Feng took out a contract from his pocket and slapped it on the table. The crisp sound seemed to have hit Xiao Chun and Tang Jinxin, knocking their hearts into their throats. The black-hearted boss¡¯s true colors were revealed! ¡°I¡¯ll give you two a raise. Can this comfort your injured hearts?¡± Luo Feng asked sincerely. ¡°Huh?¡± The development exceeded Xiao Chun and Tang Jin¡¯s expectations. So the contract on the table was for an increase in salary? Had they met a conscientious and honest boss? The two of them were not so sure. They picked up the contract and looked at it carefully. They were only halfway through when the two of them covered their mouths and held their breaths, not daring to believe what they were seeing. ¡°20,000 yuan?¡± Xiao Chun almost bit her tongue. ¡°Boss, you want to increase our wages to 20,000 yuan?¡± Everyone in the room gasped. ¡°It¡¯s not an increase to 20,000 yuan. Your salaries will not change. This is compensation for your mental state. It will be paid until public opinion passes,¡± Luo Feng explained. The boundaries of this compensation were very vague. In other words, as long as Xiao Chun and Tang Jin felt that the influence was still there, they could keep going at it. The two of them had never seen so much money before and were so excited that they did not know how to react. Seeing this, Luo Feng thought that the two of them were still not satisfied. He said, ¡°We can discuss the amount of money, but if the two of you are really uncomfortable, we can change to other actors. The contract will also be canceled. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± He was really thinking for Xiao Chun and Tang Jin because some people really valued their image more than money. ¡°No, no, no, no! We don¡¯t feel uncomfortable at all!¡± Xiao Chun and Tang Jin stood up with flushed faces. ¡°For money¡­ No, for the company. We can tolerate such a small problem!¡± Chapter 311 - 311 Newcomer Gift Bag, Direct Cash Return? 311 Newcomer Gift Bag, Direct Cash Return? ¡°Really?¡± Luo Feng looked at their swollen eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself. You still have a long way to go. There¡¯s no need¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s a need!¡± The two of them nodded vigorously and interrupted Luo Feng. They did not want him to continue. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Boss. We shouldn¡¯t have troubled you over such a small matter.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry to have made you come over so late at night. Please forgive us!¡± ¡°We will definitely remember this lesson and increase our mental endurance. We will strive to cooperate with the team in the future and film better videos.¡± ¡°We won¡¯t let you down, Boss!¡± Xiao Chun and Tang Jin¡¯s attitudes changed 180 degrees, and they did a very deep self-reflection. They analyzed their shortcomings deeply and expressed that they wanted to fight side by side with the company until the last second. ¡°Of course I¡¯m very happy that you think that way.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°If you have any objections in the future, feel free to ask. I will definitely¡­¡± ¡°No objections! I definitely won¡¯t have any more objections!¡± The two of them said in unison! It would probably be difficult to encounter a kind and honest boss like Luo Feng again in their life. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin secretly made up their minds that they would never leave Innovative Artist even if they had to be extras and be mocked for the rest of their lives! ¡°I have an objection!¡± The cameraman suddenly raised his hand. Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to him, waiting to hear his objection. Unexpectedly, the cameraman walked in front of Luo Feng and squatted down. He said very seriously, ¡°Boss, do you think I can be an internet celebrity? I also want to get mental compensation ¡­ No, I also want to experience how difficult it is to be an actor.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ You can ask Manager Yang.¡± Luo Feng moved back a little. A 1.8-meter-tall man suddenly squatted beside him. It was a little scary. Yang Tianzhen looked at the cameraman speechlessly. ¡°You can experience it, but there¡¯s no mental compensation.¡± ¡°Then I still think skillful work suits me better.¡± The cameraman stood up and walked back to his spot, pretending that nothing had happened. The small episode immediately made the atmosphere in the room much more relaxed. After settling the matter, Luo Feng stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯m going back. If you have any questions, communicate with me at any time. It¡¯s fine no matter if it¡¯s private or business.¡± ¡°You¡¯re leaving so soon? Why don¡¯t you stay for dinner?¡± Xiao Chun took an additional 20,000 yuan and was a little embarrassed. ¡°My culinary skills have improved recently!¡± ¡°Forget it, my wife is still waiting for me at home.¡± Luo Feng thought of Ai Tingya, surrounded by happy pink bubbles. ¡°Wow! Boss, you love your wife so much!¡± Tang Jin said enviously. ¡°The lady boss must be happy!¡± A handsome, rich, stable, and loyal man took up all the criteria for a girl Tang Jin¡¯s age to choose a partner. It was impossible not to be envious. Luo Feng smiled gently. ¡°I only know what happiness is because of her.¡± This smile was like the spring breeze in March, blowing into the hearts of the two little girls. The two of them were stunned. ¡°Stop looking and go eat!¡± Yang Tianzhen interrupted the two people who were infatuated and followed Luo Feng to send him out. The two of them walked out of the courtyard and to the car. Luo Feng placed one hand on the door and looked at the deeper shadows in the night. ¡°If you have anything to say, just say it. Otherwise, I¡¯ll go home.¡± Even though he could not see Yang Tianzhen¡¯s expression, he could guess that he definitely wanted to say something but hesitated. It was as if Yang Tianzhen¡¯s frown had never relaxed since the establishment of the Innovative Artist. He was either worried about not being able to recruit new people or worried about future data. Luo Feng still remembered his previous confident appearance. He had become the opposite now, timid, and his hair was clearly white. ¡°Your hair is turning white,¡± Luo Feng teased. Yang Tianzhen revealed a bleak smile and said, ¡°My new hairstyle. Forget it, I¡¯m not going to fake it anymore. Boss, I¡¯m just worried that Morris will target us.¡± ¡°What else did you find out other than that recruitment was not going well?¡± Yang Tianzhen shook her head. ¡°Not at the moment. It¡¯s just that I know them too well. I hope you can take precautions.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just do your current work.¡± Luo Feng reminded them again. ¡°By the way, I saw Xiao Chun and the others¡¯ reactions. Have they not seen Microcosm yet?¡± ¡°They were scared off by the advertisement and were too embarrassed to look at it.¡± Yang Tianzhen smiled bitterly. ¡°Let them download it all and increase the number of downloads. There will be a surprise.¡± Luo Feng smiled mysteriously. ¡°Okay!¡± Yang Tianzhen nodded heavily. He almost treated Luo Feng¡¯s words as an imperial edict. After sending Luo Feng off, he ran all the way back to the small courtyard from the parking area. The fat on his body flashed, like a cumbersome jellyfish in the sea. ¡°You guys! You¡¯re still in the mood to eat!¡± Yang Tianzhen walked to the table and smashed it so hard that the bowls and plates on the table jumped. Before everyone could swallow the food in their mouths, they widened their eyes and looked at Yang Tianzhen in confusion. ¡°The boss is so good to us! You can say that he agreed to everything you asked for! In the end, you guys! You didn¡¯t even download the company¡¯s new software. The boss is very unhappy. The consequences are very serious!¡± Yang Tianzhen exaggerated the consequences more than ten times. ¡°Download! We¡¯ll download immediately!¡± The few of them immediately put down their chopsticks, took out their phones, and downloaded the software with data. Everyone was still a little hesitant before opening it. Other than Xiao Chun and Tang Jin, who were worried about seeing their stupid appearances, the other employees were also in charge of the backstage. They were unwilling to click on it when they thought of their hard work becoming a laughing stock. ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Yang Tianzhen urged angrily. When he thought of Luo Feng¡¯s amiable and gentle smile, he felt that he had been negligent at work, causing Luo Feng to come to the suburbs at night. ¡°Open it now!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone hurriedly opened it. They endured the embarrassment and clenched their toes, waiting to see themselves make a fool of themselves. The scene that everyone expected did not appear after the video was played for a short while. The Microcosm recommendation video was random. Everyone saw it differently. However, as Luo Feng was the only one who had uploaded the video, they could only swipe for Xiao Chun and Tang Jin. ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem¡­ that bad!¡± Xiao Chun chuckled as she held her phone. This was the first time she had seen the finished product! ¡°Really, I look so good from this angle.¡± Tang Jin sat beside the cameraman. ¡°Big Brother Sun, you¡¯re so good at finding angles!¡± ¡°No way. It¡¯s the lighting. Look at the brightness, it makes the actor look gentle.¡± ¡°The content is not bad either!¡± They began to praise each other, their faces filled with joy at seeing serious works. Yang Tianzhen kept nodding and smiling. Even though he had high standards, he had only figured out the current videos bit by bit. Coupled with the promise of those stupid advertisements, the official videos looked even more interesting to watch. ¡°The boss said to use it more and increase the traffic¡­ Eh?¡± Before Yang Tian could finish speaking, he saw a ring flickering with orange light in the upper left corner. He opened it and a small window jumped out: [Newcomer Gift Bag: 20 yuan] Chapter 312 - 312 Concern From Your Roommates, Dont Be Fooled! 312 Concern From Your Roommates, Don¡¯t Be Fooled! ¡°What?¡± Yang Tianzhen almost cried out in surprise. ¡°They gave me 20 yuan?¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone immediately went up and looked at Yang Tianzhen¡¯s phone, then at their own phones. 20 yuan was not much, but it was the first time they had used software that gave them money. This was like free money. They were very happy as long as it was free. Who cared how much there was. ¡°Me too!¡± ¡°There is also money when you swipe the videos! Look!¡± Xiao Chun scrolled up and down the video. When the small ring in the upper right corner was filled with a fixed time, she would obtain gold coins. 100 gold coins could be exchanged for one yuan. There would be one yuan in two minutes. This was too realistic! Anyone who casually swiped it during could obtain more than 10 yuan. Someone was reimbursing the food expenses! ¡°No wonder the boss asked us to use it more.¡± Yang Tianzhen finally realized. This was really one does not allow benefits created by one¡¯s own work to accrue to others. The change that he gave back to the user landed in his employee bag first. Everyone was touched. There was no better boss than Luo Feng! ¡°I can be rich just by watching videos!¡± Tang Jin could not believe it. With the efficiency of refunds she had seen so far, she could earn more than a hundred yuan a day just by swiping videos. It was higher than any part-time salary she had made in the past! No one dared to imagine that Luo Feng had already given away a lot of money before they entered the profitable stage of filming videos. If there were too many users, how many videos would they have to film to level the score? ¡°Our company is too rich!¡± Xiao Chun covered her mouth and was so touched that she almost cried. She seemed to have entered a rather impressive company. Which company in the top 500 dared to spend as much money as Luo Feng! ¡°I always thought that the advertisement we filmed was too exaggerated. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so realistic!¡± Yang Tianzhen laughed as she spoke. ¡°Hahahaha! We¡¯re too shallow and don¡¯t know how arrogant the boss is.¡± In an instant, the inexplicable shame disappeared. Buzz¡ª At this moment, Tang Jin¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Who is it? It¡¯s so late.¡± Xiao Chun walked to her side curiously. ¡°My roommate should be looking for me to bring supper,¡± Tang Jin said as she picked up the phone. ¡°Manman, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Tang Jin, when are you coming back? Can you bring me a bowl of stir-fried rice noodles? I¡¯m about to starve to death.¡± A soft and lazy voice came from the other end, as if she had just woken up. ¡°I won¡¯t be coming back tonight. Help me tell the warden,¡± Tang Jin said. The other party was silent for a while before chuckling without any warning. Manman said, ¡°The filming location of your comical advertisement? I already said that their standards are not good. With your results, finding a job as a part-time tutor is not better than this. Give up early. Don¡¯t be deceived.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not the case!¡± Tang Jin finally understood the strength of the company. She immediately became unyielding and could not hide the joy in her tone. ¡°Our company¡¯s standards are very high. Only those who have experienced it can understand.¡± ¡°Are you okay?¡± Manman mocked. ¡°With that level of advertising, I can do it too.¡± ¡°It¡¯s an exaggeration that you filmed the same content. It¡¯s fake publicity. Our company filmed it for the truth.¡± The more Tang Jin spoke, the harder her back became. She had just received 20,000 yuan for mental compensation, so Manman¡¯s mockery was not worth mentioning. ¡°I think you¡¯ve been brainwashed. Don¡¯t blame me for not reminding you if you¡¯re sold.¡± Manman felt puzzled. ¡°Hmph, download the app and you¡¯ll know that what I said is true!¡± Tang Jin seemed to have grasped the truth and felt very superior. ¡°I¡¯m going to eat a big meal. I won¡¯t talk to you anymore.¡± On the other side, Manman looked at her phone and seriously considered calling the police. ¡°Tang Jin isn¡¯t coming back again?¡± Another roommate asked curiously. ¡°She said she was going to resign before she left today. She changed her mind so quickly?¡± Ever since those advertisements were released, Tang Jin had become the laughing stock of the entire class. For a time, she could not raise her head and insisted on terminating the contract. Her attitude had changed 180 degrees in just a day. No matter how one looked at it, it was very suspicious. ¡°Could she have been deceived?¡± another roommate guessed. ¡°Who knows? But could she be hinting at something when she asked me to download the app?¡± Manman was mumbling, replaying the suspense movies she had seen in her mind. She imagined that Tang Jin was under Crowd Control by bad people at this moment, and even her phone conversation was bugged. Therefore, she could not say many things directly and could only beat around the bush. ¡°¡­ I don¡¯t think so. Don¡¯t watch too many suspense movies,¡± another roommate said speechlessly. ¡°No, I want to download it.¡± Manman opened the software shop, chose the Microcosm, and clicked to download it. ¡°You don¡¯t know how arrogant Tang Jin was just now. I want to see what¡¯s wrong. I¡¯ll laugh at her later!¡± The download was complete, and Manman registered a new user. She was about to investigate when the window that suddenly popped up stunned her on the spot. ¡°It gave me 20 yuan?!¡± Manman¡¯s voice was a little out of tune as she looked at her phone again and again. ¡°You participated in the lottery? You¡¯re quite lucky.¡± The other two roommates walked over and were also shocked when they saw the ¡°Newcomer Gift Bag¡± on the screen. ¡°There¡¯s a cash return just by downloading the software? Really?!¡± ¡°Really, and look!¡± The three of them squeezed their heads together and studied it non-stop. The small screen was filled with surprise. Especially when they realized that they could earn money by swiping videos, the other two people also hurriedly downloaded the software on their phones, as if their hand speed would disappear if they were slow. ¡°There¡¯s really a bargain. Such a high return. Could it be a bug?¡± ¡°Who cares? Send the money out first. It wouldn¡¯t be bad to buy an ice cream.¡± ¡°I remember that this seems to have been developed by Tang Jin¡¯s company. It doesn¡¯t look weak!¡± The three of them thought about it and felt that they had been too shallow. Looking at the increasing change, they suddenly felt that the content of the advertisements was not bad. Just as they were excited about finding a new business opportunity, there was a new message in the dormitory group. It was a photo of Tang Jin and Luo Feng. It was taken when Tang Jin signed the contract. The caption below: ¡°If I¡¯m sold, use this photo to call the police. He¡¯s the boss!¡± Tang Jin seemed to be protecting her safety and was really showing off. Everyone in the same dormitory was in the Mathematics Faculty, so how could they not know Luo Feng? They immediately understood what Tang Jin meant. ¡°Oh my god, God Luo Feng is Tang Jin¡¯s boss?!¡± ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard her mention it before!¡± ¡°Quickly make a video call and ask!¡± The three girls gasped and immediately called Tang Jin, wanting to see Luo Feng¡¯s true appearance. ¡°Manman, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Tang Jin picked up the video and asked even though she knew the answer. ¡°Um¡­ Little Jin.¡± Manman¡¯s tone suddenly became very polite. ¡°Is God Luo Feng really your boss? Are you by his side now?¡± ¡°What a pity. The boss was still here 10 minutes ago.¡± Tang Jin pouted. The camera tilted slightly and shone on the table full of delicious food. ¡°I¡¯ll show you my work content. I¡¯m going to eat all of them later!¡± Chapter 313 - 313 How Could There Be Such A Good Thing On The Eve Of The Popularity?! 313 How Could There Be Such A Good Thing On The Eve Of The Popularity?! ¡°Aiya, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. The filming is about to start. I¡¯m going to eat delicious food!¡± Tang Jin hung up the phone with a smile, leaving her roommates in suspense. The screen turned black, revealing three confused faces. ¡°Did you see that? There¡¯s such a big table of delicious food. There seem to be lobsters?¡± ¡°No wonder Tang Jin doesn¡¯t want to attend classes anymore. She wants to work part-time every day.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve only seen that perfect small courtyard in my dream. Tang Jin can actually sleep and eat inside!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t believe her when she said that her job is to eat and eat. Moreover, she¡¯s working with God Luo Feng!¡± The three girls were so envious that they went crazy. They wanted to make another video call and ask clearly. However, when they thought of how they had ridiculed Tang Jin previously, they held back. ¡°I¡¯d better watch videos¡­¡± ¡°Me too¡­¡± ¡°Thinking about it carefully, the advertisement filmed by Tang Jin doesn¡¯t seem so bad. It¡¯s quite real¡­¡± The three of them settled for the next best thing. Only the free change could slightly calm their wandering hearts. At first, they stared at the small ring on the timer and stopped moving to swipe the next video. But gradually, they were attracted by the content of the video. The roles that Luo Feng gave Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were the hardworking and virtuous older sister and the doted on and naive younger sister. The video showed that every morning, Xiao Chun would wake up at dawn. She would either rush the ox to plow the ground or carry a hoe to weed the fields. She would work at sunrise and rest at sunset. As for Tang Jin, she was only in charge of eating her sister¡¯s delicious food at first. Gradually, she began to explore the village. She either went to the mountain to pick wild mushrooms, picked wild fruits, or helped the old man next door to work and was compensated with a rabbit or a chicken as a side dish for dinner. There were script designs and real village life. The two situations intertwined and became a pair of sisters living carefree lives in the fields. ¡°Tang Jin leads such an immortal life every day?¡± Manman¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. Looking at the spacious courtyard in the video, Tang Jin was surrounded by a group of cute dogs. Then, looking at their narrow dormitory, the clothes hanging on the balcony blocked the sunlight, causing the light in the room to be very dim. They looked at the mountain of learning materials on the table. They had to spend a lot of time every day lying on the table holding pens and fighting the boring numbers and symbols. Finally, they thought about the lousy breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the canteen. How could it compare to the feast in the video? In order to show the fullness of village life, Luo Feng had once instructed them to film more satisfying meals. Tang Jin was someone who ate a lot and enjoyed delicious food. She felt that eating was a wonderful thing just by looking at it. The three girls felt their stomachs growl just by looking at the empty plate on the table. They were actually hungry! Knock, knock- At this moment, there was a knock on the dormitory door. The door was pushed open and a head poked in. The female classmate in the dormitory beside them had a facial mask on and happened to see the three of them swallowing hard. ¡°What happened to you three? Didn¡¯t you eat dinner?¡± The female classmate walked to Manman¡¯s side and patted her. ¡°Manman, lend me some toner. I¡¯ll give you something to eat later.¡± ¡°What food?¡± Manman¡¯s face fell. She had never thought that she would be hungry watching videos one day. ¡°Potato chips, biscuits, and my mother¡¯s preserved meat.¡± The female classmate was very generous and kept looking at Manman¡¯s toner. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat it.¡± Manman shook her head sadly. She casually handed the toner to the female classmate and continued to watch the video seriously. Nothing ordinary could interest her now. How could it compare to a table full of feasts in the video? The female classmate looked curiously at the three people holding their phones. ¡°The exam is coming soon. Why are you still watching videos?¡± She stood at the side and watched it with Manman. After watching for a while, she felt that it was very interesting. Unknowingly, she was engrossed in it and swallowed with the other three. A good dormitory had suddenly become a rice field in the summer night. The sound of swallowing was extremely similar to the rising and falling croaks of frogs. The more they looked at it, the hungrier they became. ¡°I¡¯m so hungry!¡± Finally, Manman could not take it anymore and wailed! Another roommate suggested, ¡°How much money did you earn from farming videos? How about we get together and order a barbecue?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± ¡°Just what I wanted!¡± ¡°Wait! Wait!¡± The female classmate stopped the three people counting the money. ¡°You can also be rich by swiping videos. How can there be something so good in life? Don¡¯t lie to me!¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Manman swiped her phone and manipulated it for her to see. She only spent some time watching a few videos and obtained an endless stream of gold coins. In the end, she directly converted them into cash. The female classmate was stunned. There was really such a good thing on earth. ¡°Wait for me to get the money. I want to eat barbecue too!¡± The female classmate put down the toner and ran back to the dormitory like the wind. She ran back with her phone and money. The four of them pooled their money and ordered a high-priced barbecue at Gather Sift Takeaway. After a while, the food arrived. The four of them sat together, holding skewers in one hand and their phones in the other. They ate supper and earned money. ¡°By the way, why don¡¯t I see Tang Jin?¡± The female classmate looked at her phone and remembered that there was one less person in the dormitory. She giggled. ¡°Speaking of which, the advertisement she filmed was too funny. Speaking of which, don¡¯t you think this younger sister in the video looks very much like her?¡± ¡°That¡¯s her,¡± Manman replied. ¡°¡­ Huh?¡± ¡°She¡¯s the one eating a big meal. This is the content of her part-time job.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°And her advertisement. It¡¯s about the video you¡¯re watching. It¡¯s not an exaggeration at all.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be!¡± The female classmate¡¯s jaw almost fell to the ground in surprise. According to her common sense, her first reaction was that she shouldn¡¯t have such a good job. It was ridiculously good! ¡°Was she deceived? How can there be such a good thing in the world?¡± The female classmate was concerned and probing. ¡°It¡¯s better to remind Tang Jin so that she won¡¯t be deceived by a black-hearted boss. Many bosses like young girls nowadays¡­¡± ¡°Her boss is God Luo Feng.¡± Manman showed the group photo sent by Tang Jin. The female classmate was stunned on the spot. The dormitory was quiet, and there was only the sound of chewing food. The three of them were already shocked, so they were not surprised by the female classmate¡¯s reaction. ¡°F*ck!¡± A moment later, the female classmate could not accept it and ran back to her dormitory. ¡°Is she okay?¡± one of her roommates asked. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s normal that one can¡¯t accept it.¡± Manman was very calm. She almost couldn¡¯t accept it after all. The three of them were engrossed in farming videos and completely ignored the passage of time. After eating the barbecue, they still maintained their previous posture and continued swiping. It was almost one in the morning when they came back to their senses. ¡°Why are there so many? I haven¡¯t seen enough!¡± Manman complained. She was addicted to the content of the video and could not extricate herself. She even brought her phone with her when she went to wash up. On this night, the number of downloads increased rapidly. It spread from one dormitory to the entire dormitory building and then to the entire school! Chapter 314 - 314 The Next Step Of Development, Continue Working Hard! 314 The Next Step Of Development, Continue Working Hard! In the morning. The morning sun woke up the slumbering world. Birds chirped as they searched for food in the forest. Dogs barked and chickens crowed. Farmers carrying hoes went to work in pairs. They took advantage of the low temperature to work in the fields. Tang Jin opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the phone beside her. She swiped videos for a while before going to bed last night and fell asleep unknowingly. Her phone, which she had put there for the entire night, had long run out of battery and was turned off. Tang Jin charged it and walked out with the toiletries. The small farm garden rented by the company had many rooms. Other than the few near the courtyard for filming and display, the rest were used as dormitories. Tang Jin lived alone in a single room. It was much more comfortable than the school dormitory. She walked to the washroom behind the room and was farming her teeth when she heard cheers from the front courtyard. Tang Jin walked around and saw Yang Tianzhen jumping around in the courtyard like a ball. ¡°Look, look! The video we filmed had a lot more views yesterday. There are also comments!¡± When they heard this, all the staff put down their work at the same time and stuck their heads into it. More than ten people were squeezed together and looked at the small phone screen. ¡°Wow! What beautiful scenery. Does Little Sister live in the Immortal World?¡± ¡°Why am I only seeing such a good video now?¡± ¡°Big Sister is too capable. She knows everything.¡± ¡°Immortal video. Is this worth watching?¡± ¡°It smells so good. I¡¯m hungry.¡± Overnight, the originally blank comments area was filled with comments from netizens. Yang Tianzhen scrolled a few times but could not reach the bottom. Moreover, the dozen videos under Xiao Chun¡¯s account were all the same. The video with the most likes exceeded 10,000. ¡°Wow! How did this happen!¡± Xiao Chun felt like she was in a dream. When she saw the comments praising her, her heart felt even sweeter than if she had eaten honey. Her smile seemed to be stuck to her face. ¡°Our publicity must have played a positive role.¡± Yang Tianzhen was also very excited. He was an agent in the company and was in charge of digging up photogenic actors. Data was not his focus. However, in the early stages of the company, he did a few people¡¯s work alone. This video was recognized by the netizens and he had contributed. This was the first time he had received positive feedback from the public after falling out with his previous company. He was so excited that he almost cried. ¡°I¡­ I want to tell my boss the good news.¡± He retracted his phone and called Luo Feng. As soon as the notification sounded, Luo Feng picked up the phone. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°B-Boss, have you seen the Microcosm?¡± Yang Tianzhen choked a few times and almost couldn¡¯t say a complete sentence. ¡°I¡¯ve seen it. The number of software downloads and video data has begun to increase. It¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Luo Feng was also very happy. ¡°Your efforts have finally begun to pay off.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yang Tianzhen¡¯s eyes burned. ¡°It¡¯s all because Boss led us so well that we were recognized.¡± ¡°Hehe, but now is not the time to relax. Let the team work harder. Now is the time for users to increase. The number of updates must catch up,¡± Luo Feng reminded. ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll definitely keep an eye on them!¡± Yang Tianzhen promised. The actors that he had been looking for for so long we¡¯re all mixed up by Morris. Yang Tianzhen felt that Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were strong enough and wanted to transfer the work center to content production. Luo Feng immediately gave a different opinion. ¡°Leave the filming to the team. You have other things to do.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Poaching,¡± Luo Feng said. After returning home yesterday, he considered it. Morris had a subtle trainee contract, so it did not matter how many people they signed. In order to target Yang Tianzhen and the innovative artist, they had used their poaching skills to the extreme. Luo Feng felt that finding new people was not a solution. He might as well dig up bloggers from other video websites to enrich the content of the Microcosm. In any case, many bloggers and platforms did not have a contract relationship. They were just borrowing each other¡¯s strength. Now that the traffic in the Microcosm was gradually catching up, Luo Feng felt that it was time to poach those bloggers and monopolize their video rights so that they could serve the Microcosm in the future. He told Yang Tianzhen his thoughts and the future development path of the Microcosm. ¡°What do you think?¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Bloggers with fans disdain Morris¡¯ trainees. If you poach them, you can directly start uploading videos. It will save you a lot of trouble.¡± ¡°Good idea!¡± Yang Tianzhen¡¯s blood boiled. After participating in so many things in the company, he indeed liked to dig around and nurture the most. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you. Thank you for your hard work.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my job!¡± After hanging up, Yang Tianzhen said to a few eavesdropping ears, ¡°You heard what the boss said. Work hard and produce a video!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The good news in the morning encouraged everyone, and they were filled with energy. Especially Tang Jin. She used the excuse of social practice to apply for a week¡¯s leave from the counselor and stayed in the farm garden to cooperate with the filming. She was not like Xiao Chun, who needed to appear on camera at all times. Therefore, in her spare time, Tang Jin logged onto the school forum to publicize the Microcosm. Previously, she was embarrassed because of the stupid advertisement, but now, she was filled with confidence. She almost completed the publicity alone. It was rare for the others in the forum to not have a plan. They actively left comments under Tang Jin¡¯s post. ¡°I can prove that what the poster said is true. The money from Microcosm is really a lot!¡± ¡°Put it under the desk and play it automatically during class. I¡¯ve spent the entire morning earning money!¡± ¡°Moreover, the quality of the video is really high. The editing and soundtrack are very comfortable. It¡¯s the lifestyle I yearn for.¡± ¡°Download Microcosm. Don¡¯t force me to kneel down and beg you!¡± The students accepted novel things very well. From the looks of it, farming and pastoral life had hit their hearts. The good reviews were like a tide, coming wave after wave. No one mocked the fun of the publicity advertisement anymore. This was the first time the students had seen a match between publicity and the real thing. They also had a good impression of Microcosm. The data was constantly increasing, and the number of downloads was also increasing. Luo Feng¡¯s publicity portfolio began to turn towards lifestyle. The advertising slogan of the Microcosm changed. It changed from swiping for money to encouraging everyone to record their lives through videos. It also echoed the name of the Microcosm¡ª condensing the colorful world into a micro-video to record the exciting moments of their lives. Under the constant change of the promotional focus, Microcosm changed from a video player to a video recorder. The content was also getting richer. In addition, Yang Tianzhen had poached outstanding streamers from other websites with generous remuneration. The high-quality content was also firmly in their grasp. The number of downloads and clicks in Microcosm continued to increase. Even various social media apps became the new favorites of users. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin¡¯s video production was also steadily outputting. Gradually, their fans increased to 300,000, becoming life streamers with the most fans! Chapter 315 - 315 Its Not Easy To Be A Trainee. Do You Want To Find A Part-time Job? 315 It¡¯s Not Easy To Be A Trainee. Do You Want To Find A Part-time Job? The Microcosm app quickly became famous in three months and became the netizens¡¯ favorite phone software. Long videos were no longer suitable for fragmentation of the gradually accelerating pace of life. Short and exquisite videos had become a growing pastime. People recording their lives on their phones could be seen everywhere on the street. It became a new fashion to upload their lives to the Microcosm. This wind undoubtedly blew to Morris Corporation. ¡°Hmph, Internet celebrity? Not worth mentioning.¡± The middle-aged man who had a conflict with Yang Tianzhen stood outside the practice room. Through the glass, he looked at the room full of trainees who were spraying youth sweat with the dance teacher. They were all good seedlings who had survived the company¡¯s layers of screening. There was no need to mention their good looks, superior figures, and proper manners. In the Morris Corporation, there were a total of two levels of practice rooms. The first level was on the sixth floor, and the second level was on the second floor. There was naturally no need to mention the sixth floor. They were all debut reserves. As for the people on the third floor, they were the same as Xiao Chun. The company did not expect them to be very powerful. They were just waiting for them to compensate the company for the breach of contract if they could not persist. ¡°Mr. Kou, so you¡¯re here!¡± Assistant Elfen ran over. ¡°It¡¯s almost time for the meeting. The other supervisors are already waiting in the office.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s name was Kou Zhiyuan. He was also a famous actor when he was young. Later, he had to withdraw from his acting career because of an accident. Later on, with his many years of experience in the entertainment industry, he changed his profession to become an agent. He joined the Morris Corporation later than Yang Tianzhen, but this did not stop him from working with the higher-ups to squeeze Yang Tianzhen out and become the managerial trainee. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting.¡± Kou Zhiyuan pushed open the office door. Everyone in the room immediately stood up and welcomed him with smiles. The others only sat down again after Kou Zhiyuan sat down. ¡°I¡¯m a little tight today. Not only do I have to bring Jia Le to the audition, but I also have three programs to discuss. Please tell me if you have any questions.¡± Kou Zhiyuan smiled and secretly flaunted his artists. At the same time, he wanted to make it clear that they should not look for him for small matters. ¡°Supervisor Kou, the people who are more capable do more work. This is just a small problem. Let¡¯s see if the others¡­¡± The people around Kou Zhiyuan were busy sucking up to, curry favor, and ingratiate. They were the last to deal with the problem. After being interrupted by him, the others also reflected on whether their questions were worth mentioning. They were conflicted and embarrassed to say anything. ¡°Supervisor Kou, should we consider opening a new direction for our artists?¡± A man sitting at the end said. He had a baby face. His mature appearance and energetic outfit were slightly inconsistent, and he did not look serious with a straight face. ¡°Benson, what do you mean?¡± Kou Zhiyuan asked again as if he did not understand. ¡°I¡¯m talking about whether to open up a new development path for our artists, such as adding online interaction time.¡± Benson flipped through the information in his hand. This was the market trend that he had spent a month analyzing. It focused on analyzing the popularity of the Microcosm. Just as he was about to hand over the information, Kou Zhiyuan suddenly stood up and said something to his assistant as he left the office. The others also began to pack their things, as if the meeting had ended. ¡°Supervisor Kou!¡± Benson chased after him with the documents. ¡°I¡¯m not done yet!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need, Benson. Your suggestion is meaningless.¡± Kou Zhiyuan continued walking without even looking. ¡°Supervisor Kou, please take a look at this first!¡± Benson hurriedly dug out the market research and hurriedly explained, ¡°The Internet has become the mainstream media. Many people have already recognized the profession of an internet celebrity, and¡­¡± ¡°Internet celebrity?¡± Kou Zhiyuan stopped in his tracks and glanced at Benson disdainfully. He also snorted at the information. ¡°How can an Internet celebrity compare to our company¡¯s celebrities by selling ugly things?¡± He snatched Benson¡¯s information and glanced at it casually before crushing it into a ball and throwing it into the trash can. ¡°Mr. Benson, you might not know where you are yet, so let me tell you again!¡± ¡°The land under your feet belongs to the Morris Corporation, one of the top five star-making factories in the country. The celebrities under your company all have explosive works. Those outside the C-list are not even considered. How can a clown like an internet celebrity be worthy of entering our company? Do you understand what I mean?¡± ¡°¡­Understood.¡± Benson gritted his teeth and nodded. ¡°I just feel that I can give the trainees a chance to train¡­¡± ¡°The company will naturally arrange it for them.¡± ¡°There are a lot of trainees, many of them are idle, so¡­¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Kou Zhiyuan stopped Benson, who was pestering him. ¡°The company will arrange everything. Just do your job!¡± After saying that, Kou Zhiyuan felt that the warning was not enough. Benson seemed to see Yang Tianzhen¡¯s shadow in him. They both carried an annoying sense of self-righteousness. Smack! Kou Zhiyuan slapped Benson¡¯s folder away as if he was venting his anger. He looked at the paper fluttering like snowflakes and said, ¡°I see that you¡¯re tired from the extra work. The paper on the ground is useless. Handle it as soon as possible.¡± With that, Kou Zhiyuan walked away arrogantly on the path paved with documents. Benson looked at the information on the ground and did not recover for a few minutes. The papers printed with the soles of his shoes were reports that he had typed out word by word for weeks without sleep. In Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s eyes, they were even worse than waste paper. Benson¡¯s eyes turned red. He suppressed his grievances and picked up one after another. ¡°Big Brother Benson?¡± At this moment, a snow-white and slender hand appeared in his vision. Benson looked up and saw a pair of swollen eye blisters. He did not find it strange and lowered her head to avoid being seen. He asked, ¡°Hui Xin, why are you here? Your double eyelids have just been done. The doctor said that you have to give it time to recover.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very careful.¡± The girl called Hui Xin raised her head slightly. The swollen wound squeezed her vision, leaving only a crack for her, so she did not notice Benson¡¯s state. ¡°Big Brother Benson, did you help me ask about my job?¡± Huixin asked carefully. ¡°My father needs money when he¡¯s hospitalized. My sister is about to pay her tuition fees. You know that I just had my double eyelids done and I really don¡¯t have any savings¡­¡± Hui Xin smiled bitterly as she spoke, too embarrassed to say anything else and lowered her head to help pick up the things. ¡°I¡­ I haven¡¯t asked. Supervisor Kou was too busy just now.¡± Benson sniffed and stood up as if nothing had happened. ¡°I¡¯ll have a job for you soon. Before that, your mission is to recuperate your eyes.¡± ¡°Really? Thank you so much!¡± Hui Xin held Benson¡¯s hand excitedly. ¡°You¡¯re so good. I¡¯ll treat you to a big meal when I earn money!¡± Benson squeezed out a smile. ¡°That¡¯s good. Hurry back to the training room. Be careful not to let your wound get wet.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Chapter 316 - 316 Determined To Give It A Try First! 316 Determined To Give It A Try First! Benson felt extremely bitter as he watched Hui Xin run away. The reason why he wanted Kou Zhiyuan to suggest the ¡°internet celebrity route¡± was to give trainees like Hui Xin more job opportunities. This was because the trainee system of Morris Corporation was very tough. The company only provided three meals for more than 10 hours of training a day. The trainees had to pay for their own accommodation. They could not do other work because of the heavy Practice Quests, which resulted in no income. There were too many trainees like Hui Xin who came from poor families. They signed with Morris with the dream of becoming a big star and squeezed into cheap and narrow rental houses. They relied on their families to give them money to live. They were tight on food and clothes. Benson had seen girls faint from hunger in the practice room more than once. When those girls woke up, they always said that it was to lose weight. As a bystander, he could not bear to see such harsh living conditions. Not long ago, Hui Xin came to look for him with a box of snacks. Benson had some impression of Hui Xin because Hui Xin was the most hardworking girl in the training room on the second floor. Moreover, her family conditions were not good. He heard that she only slept for four hours a day. She attended classes during the day and went to the restaurant to work at night. Hui Xin came to look for Benson because he hoped that Benson could introduce her to some work. The small income from working at mealtimes could no longer support Hui Xin¡¯s family¡¯s expenses. She felt that she had the ability to earn some extra money after practicing for five years. Benson watched as Hui Xin confidently displayed her dance. She was like a little sparrow in the forest, energetic and Infestive. He had mixed feelings. The company had an unspoken mutual understanding that the trainees on the second floor had almost no chance of debuting. Unless they were outstanding and could be promoted to the sixth floor¡¯s training room, they could only endure it. Hui Xin worked for five years but still stayed on the second floor, which meant that she lacked something. Whether it was luck or strength depended on what Kou Zhiyuan said. Even if there was a job for the trainees, it would be for the trainees on the sixth floor and not the second floor. Benson hesitated for a moment but did not say anything in the end. He only said that he would help ask. After that, Hui Xin went back and thought that she could not debut because of her appearance. That was why she used all her money for the double eyelids surgery. Benson had originally hoped that the company could use the Internet celebrity industry and let trainees like Huixin earn some extra money. Unexpectedly, he was rejected so readily. He did not know if he should tell Hui Xin that spending time in Morris was just wasting her youth. She might as well change companies. Thinking of this, Benson thought of Yang Tianzhen and the new company he had recently joined. Kou Zhiyuan seemed to have targeted them and signed many trainees back to make things difficult for them. For some reason, Benson had another thought. ¡°They should have an easier time if they go to Manager Yang¡¯s company.¡± Benson slapped himself when he realized that his mind was starting to spin. If he really did such a thing, with Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s petty nature, he would definitely ban him! ¡°No, no!¡± Benson warned himself not to let one¡¯s imagination run wild as he took out his phone. His sliding finger stopped at Yang Tianzhen¡¯s phone number. They had a good relationship previously. If it was just to find a part-time job for Hui Xin, Yang Tianzhen would probably agree¡­ Benson swallowed, feeling conflicted. He thought of Hui Xin¡¯s expectant smile, as if it overlapped with his young self. In the past, when he stepped into the entertainment industry, he was like her, filled with anticipation for the future. He fantasized about making famous celebrities, winning all kinds of big awards, and sending money home to let his old parents live a better life. Looking at the corridor where Hui Xin left, Benson felt like he was seeing Hui Xin¡¯s father lying on the hospital bed and his younger sister who was studying hard. ¡°I¡¯m really obsessed. It¡¯s not my family¡¯s business. Why do you care about this!¡± Benson put his phone into his pocket as if he had made up his mind. After taking two steps, he stopped and took out his phone again. However, he was not looking for Yang Tianzhen. Instead, he dialed Hui Xin¡¯s number. ¡°I have something to tell you. Wait for me at the cafe across the street.¡± Benson added, ¡°I¡¯ll pay for the coffee.¡± After hanging up the phone, he looked at the black screen in a daze, revealing a conflicted face. If he wanted to live well, he had to throw away his conscience. This was the experience Benson had obtained after entering this industry. Take Kou Zhiyuan for example. He did not care about the lives of the trainees and even wanted to extort a sum of money from them before they broke the contract. He was doing very well, so much so that he squeezed the founder of the company away. Benson also wanted to throw away his conscience so that he would not be troubled by these unrelated matters. ¡°Damn it, let¡¯s settle her part-time job first. After that I¡¯ll eat my conscience!¡± Benson made up his mind and hurriedly went downstairs and ran out of the office building. ¡­ Farmer¡¯s small garden. Tang Jin was scrolling through the comments under the video. ¡°Big Sister Xiaochun¡¯s cooking looks so delicious. I want to join in too with my own chopsticks.¡± ¡°Anyone who could marry a girl like Xiao Chun must have saved the Milky Way in their previous lives.¡± ¡°Little Sister Jin seems to be eating so well. I really want to feed her!¡± ¡°Hehehe, only children make choices. Even an adult like me wants it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s worth it even if I die to eat the delicacies in the video!¡± The netizens were quite obsessed with their videos. The videos were liked by more than 200,000 people every time, and there were unanimous good reviews below. There was even a fan group called ¡°Food Match¡±. Tang Jin looked at the good reviews and felt that it was unreal. She was really famous! Just as she was in a daze, the familiar private car stopped at the door. Luo Feng carried a box into the small courtyard. ¡°Boss is here.¡± The makeup artist hurriedly went up to him and took the box. She realized that there was a small snack inside. The makeup artist looked at Luo Feng gratefully. The boss was too good! Not only did he give them a high salary and a free creative environment, but he also brought snacks to visit them from time to time. They were too happy as employees! ¡°The boss is here. The boss brought benefits again!¡± The makeup artist shouted loudly, and everyone ran out of the room. ¡°Long live the boss!¡± ¡°Boss is too good!¡± ¡°I love you to death, Boss!¡± The staff of the Agricultural Garden had also evolved to be the same as the employees of Good Me. They rushed forward and divided the goods in a few seconds. Tang Jin snatched more and specially ran to Luo Feng¡¯s side and smiled. ¡°Boss, look at how much I snatched! I¡¯ll give you half.¡± ¡°I specially brought them for you. Don¡¯t worry about me,¡± Luo Feng said. Tang Jin did not stand on the ceremony. She opened a bag and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging as she said with surprise in her eyes, ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± ¡°Delicious? That¡¯s recognized by our gourmet.¡± Luo Feng nodded seriously. ¡°Then we have to give this preserved meat a few scenes in the video filmed today.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Tang Jin did not understand. This was her first time participating in a video shoot, so it was normal for her not to understand. However, the others had experience and immediately understood¡ªthe boss had received an advertisement! Chapter 317 - 317 Spend Boldly, The Company Is Not Short Of Money! 317 Spend Boldly, The Company Is Not Short Of Money! Yang Tianzhen immediately rushed over from the city when he heard that Luo Feng had brought snacks to the farmyard. He rushed into the small courtyard like the wind. His sweaty face was filled with smiles, and his fat body became lighter. ¡°Boss! I heard that you received an advertisement, right?¡± Yang Tianzhen pushed open the door and shouted excitedly, his questions were filled with congratulations. Luo Feng took the last small bag that Tang Jin had given him and handed it to Yang Tianzhen. ¡°I saved it for you. Try it.¡± Yang Tianzhen was not interested in small snacks at all, but he held the meat snack as if he was holding a night pearl and looked at it lovingly. His expression was too exaggerated. Luo Feng could not stand it anymore. ¡°You like preserved meat that much?¡± ¡°No!¡± Yang Tianzhen said seriously, ¡°This is not just dried meat. This is our first advertising product!¡± He raised the jerky as if he was holding up the little lion, Simba. It was no wonder that Yang Tianzhen had such a huge reaction. It was mainly because he had spent a lot every day since the establishment of the Innovative Artist Company, without making a profit. Even if Luo Feng did not mention it, it was not Yang Tianzhen¡¯s first day in the industry. Just the rental of the venue and the salaries of his subordinates were not small sums of money. Not to mention that he had developed a new software for the sake of the internet celebrity¡¯s normal development. Research and development, testing, promotion¡­ All of them were huge expenses. Yang Tianzhen had once done a rough calculation and stopped halfway through. The cost was really too scary. He was afraid that his small heart would not be able to withstand it! Receiving the advertisement meant that the video account was mature and could start to make money! ¡°I¡¯m so happy, Boss. We didn¡¯t let you down!¡± Yang Tianzhen sniffed and choked. ¡°It¡¯s not that exaggerated.¡± Luo Feng was embarrassed by his words. ¡°The advertising fee this time is not much. I took the initiative to ask for the product. I wanted to test Xiao Chun and the others¡¯ ability to carry goods.¡± ¡°Ant meat is still meat! With this start, we will not be afraid that no one will look for us in the future!¡± Yang Tianzhen was very experienced in this aspect. He firmly believed that as long as they continued to accept advertisements, they would be able to earn money very quickly. They would break even first, then they would make a profit! That would be the case in no time! ¡°By the way, Boss, how much have you invested since the company was established?¡± Yang Tianzhen asked. As one of the founding members of the Innovative Artist, even though he did not invest, he brought in the connections. It could be considered an investment-in-kind through resources. Therefore, he was qualified to know the amount of investment so that it would be easier for him to plan in the future. Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, ¡°About 30 million yuan in total.¡± ¡°30¡­ Wait, it cost 30 million yuan in less than half a year?!¡± Yang Tianzhen was dumbfounded. ¡°What about the advertising fee this time?¡± Luo Feng extended two fingers. ¡°2,000 yuan. Party A didn¡¯t give me much because I took the initiative to ask.¡± Yang Tianzhen almost fainted. He wondered if Luo Feng had some hobby of spending money! The advertising fee was only so little. How much would he have to accept to breakeven for the investment of 30 million! Luo Feng watched as Yang Tianzhen went from being arrogant to doubting his life. He patted his shoulder and enlightened him, ¡°Don¡¯t stick to these small details when doing big things. Just spend. Our company is not lacking any money!¡± ¡°Boss!¡± Yang Tianzhen was so touched that tears rolled down his face. Who wouldn¡¯t be tempted by such a bold boss?! ¡°Help me keep an eye on the data. I¡¯ll get going first.¡± Luo Feng waved his sleeve, without a care in the world. Actually, Yang Tianzhen did not know that the money Luo Feng spent on the Innovative Artist company would have doubled the cashback through Ai Tingya. Coupled with the salary that was implemented on people, it was another form of cash return. In the eyes of others, 30 million was a huge investment. However, what Luo Feng could have cash back of more than 60 million. He was not afraid of spending money, but he was afraid that he had nowhere to spend it! ¡­ Ever since Yang Tianzhen found out about the company¡¯s initial investment, he worked even harder. Previously, Luo Feng would tell Yang Tianzhen immediately whenever he thought of something important because the company was not on the right track. Therefore, it seemed like Luo Feng had handed everything to him. Yang Tianzhen had no complaints. He wished he could only sleep for two hours a day and spend the rest of his time working. On the one hand, he had to busy himself with managing the farm and small garden and staring at the quality of the videos he shot every time. On the other hand, he had to go to other platforms to find streamers to join the Microcosm. Much of the work could be handed over to others, but Yang Tianzhen was worried and had to deal with it himself. Luo Feng clearly realized that Yang Tianzhen had lost weight, and his round face gradually had a lower jawline. ¡°Boss, the poaching of streamers has been very smooth recently. Many people are taking the initiative to submit their resumes!¡± Yang Tianzhen proudly placed the information of the new streamer on Luo Feng¡¯s desk. Luo Feng picked it up and looked at it. He realized that most of the people who had signed contracts were video editing, knowledge, and film review streamers. ¡°These are people who don¡¯t show their faces much.¡± Luo Feng flipped through it and realized that there were very few live streamers, makeup bloggers, and gaming bloggers in them. ¡°No newbies submitted resumes?¡± If Luo Feng remembered correctly, he had invested in recruitment advertisements for Gather Sift Takeaway. There shouldn¡¯t be so few people. Yang Tianzhen sighed. ¡°The same reason¡­¡± Luo Feng put down the information in an unspoken mutual understanding. Morris was still targeting them after so long. ¡°I thought they were just angry for a moment. I didn¡¯t expect this petty feud to drag on for so long.¡± Luo Feng laughed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Boss. It¡¯s all because of me.¡± Yang Tianzhen lowered his head. He had always felt guilty about this. ¡°It¡¯s a small matter. Don¡¯t take it to heart,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°What we have to do is make the company big and surpass Morris!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yang Tianzhen took a deep breath and immediately turned around to get back to work. After taking two steps, he returned to the table. ¡°Boss, I have something to ask you.¡± ¡°Tell me.¡± Yang Tianzhen was in a difficult position, but since he had already started it, he had no choice but to say it. He said, ¡°Two days ago, a former colleague of Morris called me and asked if I had a part-time job to introduce. He said that a trainee¡¯s family is in some difficulties and wants to help her.¡± ¡°You can introduce her to be our part-time live streamer.¡± Luo Feng felt that it was very simple. He was short of people now. Tang Jin was also a part-timer. Yang Tianzhen said, ¡°But you know the conflict between me and them. If we openly accept the trainees there, the conflict will definitely deepen and Morris¡¯ targeting will intensify.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡± Luo Feng stood up and put his hands in his pockets. ¡°I¡¯ve been in business for so long and have never been afraid of anyone.¡± Yang Tianzhen still looked hesitant. It was not that he did not believe Luo Feng¡¯s words, he just did not want to cause Luo Feng more trouble because of him. His main mission was to manage the Internet celebrities well after all. Luo Feng could tell that Yang Tianzhen was worried and took the initiative to say, ¡°I have nothing to do anyway. Why don¡¯t you call one of your former colleagues and the trainee over for a meal?¡± Chapter 318 - 318 First Time Fame Sees Effect, Please Autograph For Me! 318 First Time Fame Sees Effect, Please Autograph For Me! Yang Tianzhen was very surprised that Luo Feng took the initiative to ask for a meal. In his heart, a big boss like Luo Feng should be flying around in the sky every day, coming and going all over the world, settling business everywhere while chatting. However, what Yang Tianzhen had encountered was that Luo Feng was free all day. He would even personally drive over to deliver bags of tasting products, as if he had nothing important to do. ¡°Boss, you don¡¯t have to do such a small matter yourself¡­¡± Yang Tianzhen said. ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to make the decision, I¡¯ll do it.¡± Luo Feng seemed to have caught something new and looked to be in a good mood. He had been a little free recently mainly because Yang Tianzhen was too capable and did the work of three to four people alone. Previously, in order to manage the Microcosm well, Luo Feng had pushed all the matters of Gather Sift Takeaway to Xie Yan. He did not have to worry about Good Me with Ai Tingya managing it. As the Microcosm gradually got on the right track, there was not much work left for Luo Feng to assign to Yang Tianzhen. He had more and more free time. Now that there was a new mission and Yang Tianzhen was hesitating, Luo Feng naturally had to take over. He walked in front of Yang Tianzhen and said, ¡°Moreover, this is a good opportunity to come into contact with Morris. We can¡¯t always be so passive. There will be a day when we have to determine the victor. Why don¡¯t we start making plans now?¡± ¡°I see!¡± Yang Tianzhen looked enlightened, but right on the heels of that, he felt extremely ashamed. He originally thought that Luo Feng was too free. He did not expect his boss to think so far ahead. It was really wrong of him not to understand the meaning! Yang Tianzhen blamed himself and did not answer for a long time. Luo Feng thought that he had other concerns and sighed helplessly. In his opinion, Yang Tianzhen was really outstanding in all aspects, be it work ability, work experience, or connections. He was really suitable for the entertainment industry. The only disadvantage was that he thought too much. So much so that Luo Feng had no choice but to spend more time convincing him. ¡°Moreover, I want to show my attitude to everyone.¡± These words immediately attracted Yang Tianzhen¡¯s attention. Luo Feng continued, ¡°We¡¯ve always been intercepted by Morris, mainly because we¡¯re a new company and don¡¯t have as much influence as Morris. This can¡¯t be changed for the time being. Therefore, I want to express an attitude to those deceived trainees. This boss will treat every employee equally. Don¡¯t always be superstitious about big companies.¡± With that, Luo Feng saw that Yang Tianzhen¡¯s eyes were red. ¡°Boss¡­ you¡¯re such a good person!¡± Yang Tianzhen wiped his tears. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange it immediately!¡± Luo Feng watched him run out of the office. After thinking carefully, he took out his phone and sent a message to Yang Tianzhen. He added, ¡°Remember to call Xiao Chun and Tang Jin along.¡± These two were the brands of the Innovative Artist Company. He had to bring them out to show them. Soon, under Yang Tianzhen¡¯s arrangements, the venue was set at the Dyce Hotel. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin stood at the entrance of the luxurious hotel and looked at the dazzling interior. They felt an inexplicable fear. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve come to such a high-end hotel. Did the boss really ask us to wait for him here?¡± Xiao Chun pinched her cheek, not daring to be sure. She took out her phone to confirm the location of the meal. ¡°I¡¯ve already checked it out, this is indeed the place.¡± Tang Jin swallowed. ¡°Do I look a little old-fashioned? The staff won¡¯t chase us out, right?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when you walk in.¡± ¡°¡­Go in first.¡± ¡°Go in and I¡¯ll follow you.¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m embarrassed¡­¡± ¡°Me too¡­¡± The two of them were nervous about the luxurious environment of the hotel. They unanimously decided to wait for Luo Feng at the door and enter with him. ¡°Eh? Are you two from Microcosm?¡± At this moment, a surprised voice diverted Xiao Chun and Tang Jin¡¯s attention. A high school student in pink ran over from the street, the accessories on her body clicking. She ran three steps away from Xiao Chun and stopped to size them up. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were confused. Their gazes were all focused on the high school student. ¡°You guys! You¡¯re really Big Sister Xiao Chun and Big Sister Xiao Jin!¡± The high school student jumped up happily. ¡°I¡¯ve watched your videos. It¡¯s all so dreamy!¡± Only then did Xiao Chun and Tang Jin realize that these are fans. Neither of them had any experience dealing with this matter. They had shy smiles on their faces and kept scratching their heads. They were too embarrassed to look into the fans¡¯ eyes and were so happy that they could not find their way. Fortunately, this fan was a talkative person. ¡°I¡¯m so lucky to have met you here! So we live in the same city. It¡¯s unbelievable. So there¡¯s such a dreamy place in this city. Can you give me your autograph? I really like your videos!¡± Xiao Chun felt like she was dreaming as she took the notebook from the fan. Half a year ago, she was still an unknown trainee. In just half a year, she could actually meet fans on the street and hear others say that they liked her work. ¡°Can you sign it to me and give me some words of encouragement?¡± The fan asked carefully. ¡°Of course!¡± Xiao Chun waved her pen. If not for the fact that the time and place did not allow it, she would have written a thank-you letter to thank this fan for her love. Just as she was burying her head in signing, a few more young people surrounded her. ¡°I knew it. It¡¯s really Xiao Chun and Xiao Jin.¡± ¡°Wow! I didn¡¯t expect to meet a celebrity here. I want an autograph too.¡± ¡°Can we take a photo together? Our family likes you very much!¡± The fans became more and more excited, and there were more and more people. There were so many hotel security guards coming and going to check on the situation several times. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were in the center of happiness. Facing the paper and fan handed over, they wished they could have two more hands. The people taking photos beside them kept changing. The two of them signed while cooperating with the camera. They were extremely busy. When Luo Feng arrived, he happened to see this scene. If not for Xiao Chun¡¯s trademark hoarse voice, he would have walked past it. Luo Feng pushed through the crowd and looked at the two of them with bliss on their faces. He asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you guys going in? What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Boss?!¡± The two of them stopped what they were doing. ¡°We¡­¡± They did not know what the two of them were doing either. A temporary fan meeting? Did they have the right? ¡°This is the boss?¡± ¡°He¡¯s so handsome. Can I have his autograph?¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t seem famous. What can we do with his autograph?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as he¡¯s handsome. Handsome, please take a photo with me!¡± The moment Luo Feng arrived, he attracted the attention of the fans. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin watched helplessly as the fans surrounding them turned around to surround Luo Feng. Their emotions were extremely complicated yet the two of them felt that there was nothing wrong with listening to the fans praise Luo Feng. Seeing that there were more and more people around Luo Feng, the two of them could not save him, so they simply joined in. ¡°Boss, please give us an autograph too!¡± They had successfully infiltrated into the fan group. Chapter 319 - 319 Pouring Out Grievances, Ive Long Disliked Morris! 319 Pouring Out Grievances, I¡¯ve Long Disliked Morris! By the time Luo Feng and the other two broke free from the enthusiastic fans, more than 10 minutes had passed. The security guards at the door were stunned. They wanted to help but did not know how to. They could only pay attention to whether anyone fell. The other hotel staff were also dumbfounded and belatedly recognized Xiao Chun and Tang Jin. ¡°Phew¡ªanyway, let¡¯s go in first.¡± Luo Feng heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the receptionist welcomed him. Luo Feng was about to say his name when she passed him and ran to Xiao Chun and Tang Jin. ¡°Do the three of you have a reservation?¡± The receptionist revealed a friendly smile. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were so reserved that they forgot the name of the private room and looked at Luo Feng for help. ¡°Golden Jade Hall, thank you.¡± Luo Feng smiled. The lady at the front desk led the way for the three of them, her gaze on Xiao Chun and Tang Jin intentionally or unintentionally. This made the two of them, who had never been to a high-end hotel, even more nervous. They thought that they had done something wrong to embarrass themselves, or that they had just caused a riot in the hotel. That was why the lady at the front desk paid so much attention to them. ¡°This is the Golden Jade Hall. May I ask if you want to serve the dishes now?¡± The receptionist pushed open the door of the private room. ¡°Serve the dishes when all the guests are here.¡± Luo Feng looked at the imposing crystal chandelier, the antique tables and chairs, and was very satisfied with the environment. The receptionist left. Before she left, she looked at Xiao Chun and Tang Jin with a complicated expression. After the door of the private room closed, the two of them finally found an opportunity to ask Luo Feng, ¡°Boss, did we do something wrong just now? That young lady is always looking at us.¡± The two of them first looked down at their clothes. Even though they were not very fashionable, they were still considered appropriate so that no one should look at them all the way. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? She also wants your autographs.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Huh? No way!¡± Xiao Chun clearly didn¡¯t believe him. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you tell us directly?¡± ¡°Because it¡¯s their working hours now. The hotel has relevant rules,¡± Luo Feng explained. He had also noticed the lady at the front desk¡¯s gaze just now. She had a complicated expression of surprise, frustration, helplessness, and conflict. He could tell that she was also a loyal audience of Xiao Chun and Tang Jin. She might be regretting not recognizing them in advance. ¡°Are we really that powerful?¡± Xiao Chun and Tang Jin looked at each other in disbelief. Previously, they had filmed videos on the fly and had not left the farm for a long time. Tang Jin was fine and needed to return to school, but Xiao Chun was really cut off from the world. It had been a long time since they had entered the city to eat. They did not expect such treatment offline. They really had fans now! ¡°Hehehe, I¡¯m not dreaming, right?¡± Xiao Chun pinched her cheek, so painful that tears were about to fall. She hugged Tang Jin and jumped up happily. ¡°It¡¯s awesome! It¡¯s not a dream! It¡¯s not a dream!¡± Luo Feng watched the two of them play at the side with a gratified smile on his face. Indeed, he had chosen the right profession. At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and Yang Tianzhen walked in with two strangers. As soon as Xiao Chun saw their faces, her smile was immediately replaced by confusion. She sat obediently beside Luo Feng and pulled Tang Jin to sit down, staring at the two of them warily. Morris had left a huge shadow on her, so much so that Xiao Chun would be wary of people related to Morris. ¡°Let me introduce you. This is our boss, Luo Feng.¡± Yang Tianzhen said as the middleman. ¡°This is Morris¡¯ Benson and Huixin.¡± Luo Feng stood up and shook their hands. Benson was extremely reserved and forgot which hand he should extend out. When Luo Feng touched his hand, he clearly felt wet and hot, so he said, ¡°I heard Old Yang mention before. Relax, treat it as a simple dinner.¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Benson relaxed a little, and the muscles on his cheeks were not as tense as before. Tang Jin looked at all of this curiously and whispered to Xiao Chun, ¡°Wasn¡¯t Morris the company that cheated you? Why did Manager Yang bring Morris¡¯ people here?¡± The two of them worked together and had a good relationship inside and outside the video. Xiao Chun had also imparted her previous contract disputes to Tang Jin as life experience, so Tang Jin did not have a good impression of Morris. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Boss must have called us over to help him keep check!¡± Xiao Chun¡¯s sense of responsibility was overflowing. Her eyes were fixed on Benson and Hui Xin, not letting go of any cheap shots or tricks. After a series of formula-like chatting, the dishes were gradually served. However, the atmosphere at the table did not ease up much. Benson and Huixin were extremely nervous, especially with Xiao Chun and Tang Jin staring at them openly. Originally, Benson only called Yang Tianzhen to help Huixin find a part-time job, such as to be a calefare and so on. He did not expect Yang Tianzhen to call the company¡¯s boss out directly. Even though Luo Feng had acted very approachable just now, Benson was very uncomfortable as an employee of the company. Seeing this, Luo Feng took the initiative to say, ¡°Old Yang has already told me about your situation. I invited you out today mainly to ask for some details.¡± ¡°Please do!¡± Benson sat upright and listened attentively. Luo Feng looked at Xiao Chun in a direction and said, ¡°This is Xiao Chun. Our company is now promoting her as an internet celebrity, she was once a trainee of Morris.¡± There were too many trainees in the Morris Corporation, so many that they might not even meet each other. Hearing this, Hui Xin immediately looked at Xiao Chun enviously. She recognized Xiao Chun and Tang Jin as soon as they met as the Microcosm had been too popular recently. She was too embarrassed to open her mouth because her big boss was in front of her. Now that she heard that Xiao Chun used to be with Morris, she immediately felt another layer of yearning and intimacy. ¡°We know that. I¡¯ve seen both your videos. They¡¯re really very good works!¡± Benson praised them repeatedly. However, Xiao Chun was not affected. She pouted and was very vigilant. ¡°Thank you. It¡¯s all thanks to our Boss Luo¡¯s wise leadership that we have a serious job. We won¡¯t have to¡­ Hehe.¡± Yang Tianzhen immediately stopped her with a look. Benson was not the one who set the rules after all, Xiao Chun blamed the wrong person. However, Benson did not mind at all. Instead, he resonated. He suddenly drank a glass of baijiu and felt a burning sensation enter his throat. Sweat appeared on his forehead, and he became bolder. He roared, ¡°Who said that¡¯s not the case!¡± This sudden howl stunned the others. However, Benson did not seem to see it and continued, ¡°I¡¯ve long been unhappy with Morris¡¯ rules! It¡¯s a company basically selling youth, but it¡¯s always dragging so many people down. Moreover, they don¡¯t listen to others¡¯ opinions at all. So arrogant!¡± Right on the heels of that, Benson spat out all his resentment with snot and tears. Including the places where he disliked Morris and the bitterness where he had talents but nowhere to unleash them. Hui Xin, who was sitting beside him, was frightened. Her constant persuasion could not stop Benson¡¯s mouth. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Boss Luo. Benson can¡¯t hold his liquor well. He made a fool of himself.¡± Her face was flushed red with embarrassment as she kept smiling apologetically at Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng liked Benson¡¯s performance very much and had a smile on his face. Chapter 320 - 320 Theres Risk In Jumping Ship, We Need To Think Of A Way 320 There¡¯s Risk In Jumping Ship, We Need To Think Of A Way Under the influence of the wine, Benson¡¯s words were inarticulate and chaotic. He said it again and again, as if he would never finish. Hui Xin had been trying to calm him down. Taking advantage of this time, Yang Tianzhen said to Luo Feng, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s because this girl¡¯s family is in difficulties, but the company keeps hanging on to her. Benson wanted to help her, so he found me and hoped to arrange something for her to do.¡± These two sentences summarized Benson¡¯s request again. Luo Feng had long known about this, but he still proposed to see Benson to hear the opinions of Morris¡¯ employees on the company. ¡°I understand what you¡¯re saying.¡± Luo Feng raised his glass and gently touched Benson¡¯s glass. Benson, who was still chattering, seemed to have his volume button turned off. He downed another glass of alcohol as if he had found a confidant. Luo Feng said, ¡°It¡¯s just a part-time job. We can provide it, but there are some things I have to say first.¡± Benson and Hui Xin thought that there was a prerequisite and did not know if they could afford it. The two of them looked at Luo Feng uneasily. Luo Feng continued, ¡°Considering that Miss Hui Xin still has a contract, she definitely can¡¯t take on a job that shows her face. She can do odd jobs behind the scenes, but her salary will definitely not be high.¡± ¡°I think Miss Hui Xin¡¯s appearance is not bad, especially her big eyes, which gives people a feeling that she has a lot of story to tell. If she becomes an internet celebrity streamer, she will definitely earn more.¡± Then, Luo Feng gave Tang Jin a look. Speaking of treatment, it was not very convincing for the boss to say it. The effect would be completely different if it was mentioned by an employee. Tang Jin immediately received the signal. ¡°I¡¯m a part-time streamer. My main job every day is to cooperate with Sister Xiao Chun to film videos and eat her food. I have a fixed salary every month and can also receive a share of the profits from the videos.¡± ¡°Moreover, our company¡¯s benefits are very good. If the video we film negatively affects our image, the boss will give us an additional mental compensation subsidy. How much was it again?¡± Xiao Chun immediately replied, ¡°20,000 yuan.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Hui Xin stood up excitedly. She did not dare to hope for a 20,000 yuan mental compensation subsidy. She only hoped to find a part-time job with a fixed salary to help her survive this period. Luo Feng continued, ¡°Of course. I originally felt that a part-time job like Tang Jin¡¯s was more suitable for you, but¡­ you still have the contract.¡± ¡°¡­Indeed.¡± The light in Hui Xin¡¯s eyes immediately dimmed. The reason why it was so difficult for her to leave Morris was partly because she still had a trace of hope, and partly because she really could not afford to lose the contract she had signed with the company. Now that she had encountered such a good job, she could not go. ¡°Xiao Chun, how did you terminate the contract at that time?¡± Hui Xin could not wait to ask Xiao Chun for her experience. Xiao Chun pointed at Luo Feng and said, ¡°Boss gave me the money.¡± Yang Tianzhen also said, ¡°The boss also bought the studio.¡± ¡°No way!¡± Hui Xin and Benson¡¯s voices were out of tune. They could not believe that Luo Feng was so generous. ¡°Is there a rule on when to repay such a huge sum of money?¡± ¡°The boss said that it¡¯s fine to give him the money after I earn it.¡± Xiao Chun hated that she did not bring the contract with Luo Feng. ¡°These are all written on the contract.¡± ¡°So good, so good!¡± Hui Xin and Benson doubted their lives at the same time. Forget about Hui Xin. She still did not know the rules of this industry. However, Benson was different. After working in this industry for many years, his conscience was almost gone. Everyone was mercenary and only wanted to expand their interests to the greatest extent. A boss like Luo Feng could simply be called a living Bodhisattva! Spending money to save people from hardship! ¡°Our company does have such a preferential policy. It¡¯s fine as long as you earn money and return it,¡± Luo Feng said calmly. Actually, he did not want to take back the money he had given away because he had taken a cash return. However, it would seem strange if he did not add that sentence to the contract. Even the world¡¯s richest man would not spend money everywhere for no reason after all. Luo Feng¡¯s current role was a businessman, so he tried his best to do things that were compatible with his character. What he needed at this moment was to wait. He waited for Hui Xin and Benson to see if they would want his help. ¡°Boss Luo!¡± Benson suddenly stood up, his eyes extremely clear. He pulled Hui Xin up. ¡°Please help her! Morris is really not worth staying for!¡± It had finally arrived! Luo Feng smiled and asked the two of them, ¡°Before that, I want to ask a question. Why do you want to help her?¡± This question was a little ambiguous. Hui Xin¡¯s cheeks could not help but turn red. Her eyes dodged to the side and she lowered her head shyly. Benson acted like he let go of Hui Xin¡¯s arm as if he was touching it and raised his hands to show his innocence. ¡°I just feel that she¡¯s a little like me when I was young. My family¡¯s conditions aren¡¯t too good either¡­¡± Just as Benson had said, his family¡¯s situation was not very optimistic. However, Benson¡¯s life finally improved a little by working hard and repairing his leaking home bit by bit. However, Hui Xin was still trapped in the mud without knowing it. Moreover, she would definitely sink deeper and deeper until she died. Benson did not want someone with a dream and the hopes of the entire family to become a sacrifice just like that, so he risked his face to help Hui Xin find a way out. Luo Feng nodded. ¡°Of course I can help, but Hui Xin, your agreement might not be as easy to resolve as Xiao Chun¡¯s.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Hui Xin was very puzzled. She felt that she was not so outstanding that two companies were competing for her. Since she could not create value for Morris and a new company was willing to take over, and she could pay the breach of contract fees, why would they not let her go? Luo Feng sighed and told her about helping Xiao Chun terminate her contract and buying Yang Tianzhen¡¯s studio. ¡°At that time, Old Yang had been helping Xiao Chun, Morris was willing to take the termination fee because he was adamant about it,¡± Luo Feng explained. ¡°However, in your current situation, there¡¯s no one who can help you. Moreover, if you successfully terminate the contract and succeed with us, it will shake the hearts of the other trainees.¡± Any company with some brains would not allow anyone to do this. Therefore, even if Hui Xin could not create new value, they would not let her go. They would continue to stall until a new batch of trainees entered the company. ¡°How can it be like this!¡± Hui Xin felt very aggrieved. Luo Feng also pitied Hui Xin¡¯s encounter. He had once witnessed Xiao Chun¡¯s helplessness when she was urged to breach the contract. This was also one of the reasons why he was willing to accept Hui Xin. Ai Tingya, that soft-hearted silly girl, would also definitely help them unconditionally. Everyone at the dining table fell silent. Xiao Chun, who felt the same way, walked to Hui Xin¡¯s side and hugged her to comfort her softly. ¡°It¡¯s okay. There will definitely be a way. Let¡¯s think together!¡± ¡°I have an idea,¡± Luo Feng said at the right time. ¡°It¡¯s just a little time-consuming.¡± Chapter 321 - 321 Plan Successful, Working As A Live Streamer! 321 Plan Successful, Working As A Live Streamer! Luo Feng¡¯s words attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Hui Xin and Benson¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation. Luo Feng said, ¡°Continue to be a trainee. Don¡¯t show any intention of leaving for the time being. Or rather, you should yearn for a training life more. However, because of family matters, you have no choice but to break the rules and go out to work.¡± ¡°To avoid being caught by the company, I can¡¯t let you work part-time at our company for the time being. Instead, I¡¯ll find an ordinary job.¡± Hui Xin was skeptical. ¡°Is that useful?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°Regardless of whether it¡¯s useful or not, if you stop practicing and go out to work, you can temporarily resolve your family¡¯s predicament. Moreover, if you act helplessly usually, the friends around you will naturally think that you were forced.¡± This way, it would be easy for Hui Xin, who had left the life of a trainee, to ask the company to terminate his contract. Or if Hui Xin skipped her practice training, the company might take the initiative to ask her to leave when they found out that she had violated the rules. At that time, Luo Feng would fork out money to help and the problem would be resolved! ¡°Good idea!¡± Xiao Chun raised both hands in agreement. She had also been squeezed by the company in the past. Of course, she hoped that Huixin, who was in the same boat as her, could get out of her misery as soon as possible. ¡°But if I leave Morris and go to your company to be an anchor, and Morris finds out, they will definitely target me.¡± Huixin was very afraid. She was a powerless young lady with no backing. If a big company moved a finger, she might not be able to keep her live-streamer job. ¡°This won¡¯t stop you from being a streamer,¡± Luo Feng said. Happy Trust¡¯s hypothesis was based on Morris discovering that she had jumped ship to become an Innovative Artist. However, if she did not, and instead released a video on the entire platform, then Morris would have no reason to make things difficult for her. ¡°Xiaochun and Tang Jin¡¯s videos were signed under a contract. The copyright belongs exclusively to Microcosm. Similar to them, there are other streamers who were poached over,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°However, if you release the videos online, the copyright will be in your hands. It will belong to a free streamer. Morris doesn¡¯t know which company you¡¯ve signed with.¡± ¡°Of course, I know you don¡¯t have any experience as a live streamer. It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re willing to sign a contract with our company. As for the copyright clause, we¡¯ll write it down clearly on the contract. There won¡¯t be a problem of being locked down by Morris,¡± Yang Tianzhen added. As for the resentful trainees from the previous company, he decided to fish out as many as he could. ¡°Good idea!¡± Xiao Chun sat down beside Hui Xin. ¡°What other concerns do you have? Tell us at once and we¡¯ll help you think of a solution!¡± Hui Xin was a little surprised to hear her words. She looked around the dining table. Everyone was sincerely helping her solve her problem. Especially Luo Feng. He did not put on the airs of a boss at all. He felt like a friend of the same age. Hui Xin suddenly felt sour thinking of this. Ever since she came to the big city to work, she had been alone. She went to the company to practice and train alone. She stayed in the dormitory alone and was anxious. She did not even have anyone to talk to. ¡°Ah! What¡¯s wrong? Is there anything else?¡± Seeing this, Xiao Chun hurriedly pulled out two tissues and handed them to Hui Xin. Tang Jin also ran to Hui Xin¡¯s side and comforted her. ¡°Boohoo, I really don¡¯t know how to thank you for helping me like this.¡± Hui Xin kept wiping his tears and looked at Luo Feng with tears in his eyes. He felt that Boss Luo¡¯s image had suddenly become higher. Benson reminded her, ¡°Don¡¯t just cry. Think about what job you¡¯re going to find tomorrow.¡± Huixin¡¯s job was actually not easy to find. Her job could be interrupted at any time, which would bring some trouble to the party providing the job. Some bosses would not pay a single cent for this. The prerequisite for Huixin to work as a temporary worker must be that the boss was tolerant. ¡°Why don¡¯t you come to our studio and be my assistant first?¡± Yang Tianzhen suggested. However, on second thought, she felt that it was impossible. ¡°There¡¯s a risk of being discovered by Morris. Let¡¯s think about other things.¡± Tang Jin was a student and had no way out. Xiaochun¡¯s interpersonal relationships were simple, and she did not have any friends to help her. Everyone looked at Luo Feng again. Boss Luo had a lot of connections and friends. There would definitely be others who would be willing to help. ¡°If you do as I say, find a day job, such as customer service, handing out flyers, washing dishes, and so on. You¡¯ll be more free. You can even work a few jobs a day,¡± Luo Feng said directly. ¡°Moreover, you can work alongside your live streamer¡¯s career.¡± ¡°Can I be a live streamer this way too?¡± Hui Xin did not understand. ¡°Of course, as long as the content is targeted, you can be a streamer.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Experience streamer! It¡¯s mainly to help you experience the bottom-level work.¡± Huixin was beautiful and did the simplest job at the bottom. The combination of the two was impactful. There would definitely be people who liked to watch it. Moreover, even if Morris asked, Hui Xin could be said to be recording her life. As long as the launch website was not Microcosm, Morris would not be able to catch her. ¡°What the boss said makes sense! You can share your work experience and income, as well as some things to take note of. There are too many things worth recording!¡± Yang Tianzhen nodded vigorously. She felt that Luo Feng¡¯s idea was exquisite! ¡°All right, then. I¡¯ll try.¡± With everyone¡¯s encouragement, Hui Xin became more confident. That night, when she returned to the trainees¡¯ dormitory, she first cried. There were more than ten people living in the same dormitory. Even if their relationship was ordinary, they would come to comfort someone when they saw that they were sad. According to Luo Feng, Hui Xin exaggerated her family¡¯s situation and described it as very difficult. It was as if her father¡¯s illness would not be able to reverse the situation, and her sister would drop out of school and get married early she did not earn some money. Among the dozen or so people in the same dorm, half of them did not have a good family situation. Hearing Hui Xin¡¯s encounter, they could not help but cry too. They all believed that it was understandable for Huixin to give up on practicing and go out to work in violation of the company¡¯s rules. They would help wherever they could. After that night, Hui Xin did not go to the practice room again. She would only go to the company once every two weeks for a roll call. Other times, she would go to various places to do odd jobs. Luo Feng had even left a temporary customer service desk for her at Gather Sift Takeaway. When she could not find other jobs, she could go there to take over. Huixin also records her life on her phone every day, starting with finding a job, then talking about salary, working, and getting off work. On the way home, she shares her day¡¯s gains and feelings with the camera. It was a fulfilling day, and there were no other missions to bear. Hui Xin¡¯s mood improved day by day, and the filming content also increased day by day. Everyone in the dormitory realized that Huixin had become prettier. She was no longer the silent and troubled social phobia from before. This made the others extremely envious, because their situation was also very bad. Yet they did not dare to act rashly because of the penalties. Two months later, the company¡¯s management suddenly came to talk to Huixin. Hui Xin knew that the time to escape had arrived! Chapter 322 - 322 Which Product Should I Choose For The First Goods Carrying? 322 Which Product Should I Choose For The First Goods Carrying? ¡°The dried meat that Little Sister Jin ate looks so delicious!¡± ¡°Who would understand? I¡¯m hungry from watching videos in the middle of the night.¡± ¡°Do you have a link to the same product? Don¡¯t force me to beg you!¡± ¡°Boohoo, I wanted to lose weight. I¡¯ll lose weight after eating the same type of dried meat!¡± Under Xiaochun and Tang Jin¡¯s latest video, the comments section was asking for links to the same model. Netizens were very curious about the dried meat that appeared on screen and expressed their cravings through words. As it was an experiment, Luo Feng did not give a link to the product. However, it still couldn¡¯t stop the popularity of the same type of dried meat on Amazon. The first advertisement was very successful! Luo Feng prepared to start the next step, which was also the ultimate plan to make the video¡ªto carry goods! Opportunities were always given to people who were prepared. Before this, Luo Feng had put in a lot of effort. Three different versions of the live broadcast trailer were released in a week. Even the open-screen advertisements in the Microcosm had become live news. As long as someone had opened the Microcosm, it could be said that everyone knew about it. ¡°Because Xiaochun and Tang Jin usually shoot delicious food, I brought a few snacks this time. Choose a few that you think are delicious and sell them tonight!¡± Luo Feng took the lead and applauded. The other employees were also very excited. After working hard for more than half a year, he was finally going to start earning money seriously! Instead of calling it a preparatory meeting before the live broadcast, it was more like a Snacks Sword Meeting. Cameramen, makeup artists, costume designers, lighting technicians¡­ All the workers in the farmyard sat together, and the circle they formed was filled with all kinds of snacks. Everyone chose what they liked. The small courtyard was instantly filled with a fragrance. Even the children from the neighboring family were attracted. They stood by the fence and kept swallowing. ¡°This is delicious! It¡¯s very spicy and appetizing. It¡¯s very suitable for snacking while watching dramas!¡± ¡°This is a delicious one! It¡¯s too crispy. I feel like I¡¯m going deaf.¡± ¡°You must try this one in my hand. The sweet and sour taste is just right. Eating it is a gain.¡± Everyone huddled together to taste the snacks. Yang Tianzhen felt that it was food for children and was not interested, so she leaned against the fence and listened to their discussion. Luo Feng stood not far away and was making a call with a pink face. It was obvious that he was on the phone with Ai Tingya. For this live broadcast, Luo Feng had not been home for a few days. He was even more bored than before. After he hung up reluctantly, Yang Tianzhen leaned over and said with a smile, ¡°Boss, you¡¯re really like a young girl who just fell in love. Pink bubbles are popping up all over your body.¡± ¡°Really? I don¡¯t think so.¡± Luo Feng looked around and did not find what Yang Tianzhen was talking about. ¡°Aiyo, you have to feed us dog food from so far away. Boss, please be magnanimous, haha,¡± Yang Tianzhen teased. ¡°If the lady boss urges you, you can go back first. I¡¯ll watch over this place. There won¡¯t be any problems!¡± ¡°No need. It¡¯s my first live broadcast tonight. I want to watch from here.¡± Luo Feng smiled in embarrassment. ¡°Moreover, I heard from Tingya that she wants me to work hard. She¡¯s preparing a surprise for me.¡± ¡°Aiyo, aiyo.¡± Yang Tianzhen clutched her heart as she felt the end of Cupid¡¯s arrow sweep past her. The love in the air was so d*mn sweet. ¡°Alright! Everyone, cheer up and try to end it as soon as possible! Don¡¯t delay the boss¡¯s return home!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone¡¯s fighting spirit was high. They had fought for half an hour just to choose the items. Yang Tianzhen looked at everyone¡¯s greasy mouths and suddenly thought of something very important. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t these brands have any requirements? Just let us choose whatever we want?¡± He saw several different brands of snacks. Logically speaking, every brand should have corresponding requirements. ¡°It depends on which one we want to sell.¡± Luo Feng looked at everyone in relief. ¡°I went to Bezos to ask for these snacks. You know, with one word from him, many smaller brands will fight to be experimental products.¡± Luo Feng, this Party B, was like Party A. He could do whatever he wanted. Yang Tianzhen recalled how he had been tortured by Party A in the past, especially when there was one who sold umbrellas. He asked the artist to show half brightness and half sadness, and to express from the side that the umbrella could be used for both rain and shine. Yang Tianzhen was stunned when she heard that. He and the artist went back and racked their brains for the entire night, but they still could not figure out what it meant. ¡°half brightness and half sadness.¡± If he could have been like Luo Feng and chosen products as he pleased, he would definitely have left that umbrella far away! Comparisons really made one envious. At this thought, Yang Tianzhen suddenly realized a shocking fact. ¡°Could it be that we¡¯re working with Mr. Bezos too?!¡± He recalled that when he met Luo Feng again, Luo Feng was about to discuss something with Bezos! ¡°That¡¯s right. Otherwise, I would have to look for all kinds of products. It¡¯s quite troublesome. With Bezos around, it¡¯s much easier,¡± Luo Feng said happily. He had made sufficient preparations in advance to reduce trouble. ¡°In other words, Mr. Bezos will be watching tonight¡¯s live broadcast too?¡± Yang Tianzhen was flattered and the pressure in her heart increased. ¡°That¡¯s right. He said that we¡¯ll see what we get tonight and decide if we want to continue working together in the future.¡± Luo Feng spoke casually, as if he was only talking about unimportant weather. Seeing his attitude, Yang Tianzhen felt that he was too relaxed! Instantly, the order in her heart became heavier! ¡°Choose quickly! Choose quickly!¡± Yang Tianzhen could not let her subordinates fool around anymore. They had yet to realize the seriousness of the problem. Yang Tianzhen, who was originally not interested in snacks at all, personally tasted the taste and tried to choose the snacks that suited the taste of the masses and were the best to sell! ¡°Manager Yang, you don¡¯t usually eat snacks. Do you know how to choose?¡± Tang Jin saw that Yang Tianzhen was sweating profusely and thought that he was hungry. In terms of food, Tang Jin felt that he had the most say. ¡°Are you kidding me? How can I hand such an important matter to you guys!¡± Yang Tianzhen held a candy in one hand and a spicy strip in the other. ¡°Bring that over for me to try too!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve eaten so much that the taste is mixed together.¡± Tang Jin was worried as she handed over the snacks. Then, he looked at Yang Tianzhen¡¯s selection. The taste was rather retro and they were all sweet fried snacks. This was not in line with the dietary philosophy of young people nowadays. ¡°The ones you chose are all sweet. You¡¯ll get fatter if you eat them, okay? It¡¯s very difficult for girls who pay attention to their figures to do it.¡± Tang Jin pointed out the shortcomings. The young girls nodded in agreement. ¡°Why are young people so picky these days? I was already very satisfied when I was young to taste some white candy,¡± Yang Tianzhen complained and continued to push the candy he chose. ¡°Hmph, Manager Yang, you don¡¯t know anything. Let the boss choose. He will definitely say that the durian cake I chose tastes better!¡± Tang Jin firmly defended her delicious taste. Seeing this, Luo Feng tore a piece of paper into small strips and wrote down the price of each snack. When Tang Jin saw the price, she put down the durian cake without any reluctance and chose the braised chicken wings that were moderately priced and tasted good. With the price as a reference, the selection would end quickly. Chapter 323 - 323 The Official Beginning, Successful Impetus 323 The Official Beginning, Successful Impetus 7:50 PM, the last ten minutes before the live broadcast. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin sat at the table. The table was filled with snacks to be sold. Luo Feng was explaining to them how to use the live broadcast software. The two of them listened very seriously, but they could not hide their nervousness. Xiaochun kept biting her lips and eating the lipstick she had just put on. ¡°Have you memorized the recommendations?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°Got it!¡± The two of them nodded vigorously. ¡°It¡¯s eight o¡¯clock. Can we start?¡± Luo Feng asked again. ¡°Sure!¡± Xiao Chun took a deep breath and looked up at Luo Feng. ¡°But Boss, can you stand where we can see you? I¡¯m still a little nervous.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll always be here.¡± Luo Feng walked behind the camera. The makeup artist touched up their makeup one last time. Then, amidst her pounding heart, Xiaochun opened the livestream app. ¡°Hello, hello, friends. Welcome to Xiao Chun and her sister¡¯s livestream. Today, Xiao Jin and I will recommend our favorite food to everyone. If you like it, you can try it!¡± Xiao Chun read out the opening speech that she had prepared for a long time. However, Luo Feng frowned slightly and wrote on the notification board, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so formal. Chat for 10 minutes and start introducing the product at 8:10.¡± The boss rejected her as soon as she opened her mouth. Xiao Chun¡¯s suppressed nervousness invaded her mind again. At this moment, she felt someone grab her hand under the table. Tang Jin, who was beside her, looked calm. At least on the surface, she looked very calm. Tang Jin grabbed Xiaochun¡¯s hand with all her might. Xiaochun even felt a little pain from her grip, which calmed her down. Tang Jin pointed at the number of viewers in the upper right corner. In the first two minutes, there were only one or two hundred people in the live-stream. On the bottom left were live comments sent by netizens. This was also their first time watching a live broadcast, and they were filled with curiosity and exploration of the new interface. ¡°Wow! It¡¯s just like a live broadcast. It¡¯s Xiao Chun and Xiao Jin talking to the camera.¡± ¡°Is it really a live broadcast? Little Sister Jin, sing a song.¡± ¡°Are the two of them talking to the camera like this? How strange.¡± ¡°What¡¯s this button for? Open it.¡± The netizens who entered the live-stream for the first time clicked on the flower delivery button according to the software prompt. Two beautiful flowers immediately appeared on the screen and were placed on Xiaochun and Tang Jin¡¯s temples. ¡°Hahaha! How interesting! We can interact!¡± ¡°How about singing a song first? I want to hear Little Sister Jin sing.¡± ¡°I want to hear it too. Little Sister Jin¡¯s voice is not bad.¡± The bullet screen scrolled very quickly, and there were endless interactive special effects. Most of them were jeering at Tang Jin to sing. Xiao Chun looked at Luo Feng awkwardly. Tang Jin had not undergone professional training after all. If she sang too badly, the netizens would not buy it. She wondered if she should replace Tang Jin. Luo Feng had experienced Xiao Chun¡¯s demonic voice before. It might not be as good as Tang Jin¡¯s. ¡°Tang Jin, sing.¡± Luo Feng wrote down the notification. Tang Jin nodded and smiled at the camera. ¡°Hahaha, if I really can¡¯t do anything to you, then I¡¯ll sing one song. But I¡¯ll make it clear that you¡¯re not allowed to laugh at me if it doesn¡¯t sound good.¡± Usually, Xiao Jin¡¯s character in the video was that of an innocent and mischievous sister. Her tone was playful and cute, exactly the same as what was shown in the video. The replies on the bullet screen were also very doting. ¡°Not going to laugh at you.¡± ¡°Little Sister Jin sings very well.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so cute. You must be cute when you sing.¡± Tang Jin cleared her throat and pretended to be serious. ¡°Then, please listen to Xiao Jin sing ¡®That Girl Said to Me¡¯.¡± Considering the copyright problem, Tang Jin chose the love song that Luo Feng had written for Ai Tingya. She was Luo Feng¡¯s die-hard fan and had studied Luo Feng¡¯s past, so she naturally could not avoid this song. Xiao Chun started singing without any accompaniment. ¡°The girl told me that I was protecting her dream.¡± ¡°That there aren¡¯t many people like her in this world.¡± ¡°She¡¯s starting to forget me, but she doesn¡¯t know it.¡± ¡°I, who was covered in wounds, didn¡¯t love anyone else¡­¡± When she reached the high-pitched part, Tang Jinge, who had never received any professional training, did a split. Xiaochun¡¯s expression changed slightly, and she nervously sucked in a breath of cold air. ¡°Hahaha, I didn¡¯t warm up my voice. I went astray.¡± Tang Jin hid behind Xiaochun in embarrassment and peeked at the bullet screen with one eye. ¡°It¡¯s so cute!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no technique. It¡¯s all about feelings.¡± ¡°Sister, you sing very well. Don¡¯t be shy.¡± ¡°Hahaha, I like such a down-to-earth live broadcast.¡± It was another round of flowers. The netizens did not mind Tang Jin¡¯s singing skills. Instead, they felt that she looked more like an ordinary girl-next-door. When the netizens realized that Xiao Chun and Tang Jin would respond according to their request, the live-stream became more and more lively. Some netizens teased Xiao Chun after teasing Tang Jin, asking her to sing a song too. At first, the two of them pretended not to see it because they knew Xiao Chun¡¯s singing skills. No one would be able to hold back until the second sentence. However, the more they could not get it, the more the netizens wanted it. The comments all changed to ¡°Sister Xiaochun sing a song!¡±. Even a blind person could see it. It seemed that she would not be able to avoid it if she did not sing. Tang Jin suddenly had an idea. She hugged Xiao Chun and rocked her back and forth. She pouted at the camera and said, ¡°I¡¯m the only one who can listen to my sister sing. You guys, hmph.¡± Tang Jin playfully snorted and rested her head on Xiao Chun¡¯s neck, looking like she wanted to monopolize her sister. Xiaochun smiled and patted Tang Jin¡¯s head, looking like she had no choice but to continue pampering her. ¡°Wow, wow, wow! They are so close!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same as in the video. Sister Xiaochun is shy!¡± ¡°I know, I know. You have a good sister.¡± ¡°Sister, you¡¯re so protective. I¡¯m so envious.¡± The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was very good. More and more netizens entered. In just ten minutes, the number of viewers soared from the earliest one to two hundred to more than five thousand. Luo Feng raised the notification board again, indicating that they could start selling the goods. ¡°I was chatting so happily with everyone that I almost forgot today¡¯s theme!¡± Tang Jin raised the braised chicken wings. ¡°These are Xiao Jin¡¯s favorite braised chicken wings!¡± She opened it in front of the camera, opened her mouth and bit off half of it. She widened her eyes in surprise and said, ¡°Oh! It¡¯s a carefully selected turkey wing. The meat is fragrant. It¡¯s satisfying to take a bite.¡± Tang Jin began to perform her eating broadcast, taking one bite after another. She did not want to stop eating. Xiaochun immediately chimed in, ¡°Buy three today and you¡¯ll get one free. The top 50 can also get two big packets of Orl¨¦ans Wing Roots. There¡¯s a limited number of slots! You can buy them by clicking on the live-stream link!¡± At this point, Tang Jin had just finished eating. ¡°The price in the live-stream is even better. The original price is 12 yuan for chicken wings. Today, it¡¯s only 9.9 yuan. This is the free gift.¡± As Tang Jin spoke, she opened another small bag of freebies and continued eating. Even though the sequence of the lines was messed up, the two of them cooperated well and the mess up could not be detected at all. The netizens were tempted by the live tasting. They clicked on the link one after another, jumped to the Amazon, and began to place their orders! The first wave of data was here! Chapter 324 - 324 At the Critical Moment, The Lady Boss Had to Do It! 324 At the Critical Moment, The Lady Boss Had to Do It! On the Microcosm app, the first live broadcast on the entire Internet was underway. Luo Feng guarded the live broadcast room and strictly controlled every step. It was precisely because of his presence that Tang Jin and Xiao Chun were not so nervous. They became more and more comfortable selling goods. The first product that was recommended attracted the curiosity of netizens. After jumping to the Amazon shopping page, more than a thousand people immediately placed their orders for a chicken wing snack that had just been placed on the shelves. At this moment, Bezos was sitting in his office. His phone was playing the live broadcast of Xiaochun and Tang Jin, and the real-time sales data on his computer. He could not help but be a little surprised. ¡°More than 1,000 orders were sold in 10 minutes. I can¡¯t believe that the two girls eating in front of the camera created such good sales.¡± Bezos¡¯ tone was filled with joy. To be honest, he was a little interested when he heard about Luo Feng¡¯s development direction. There was a reason why live television broadcasts were popular after all. Many viewers would want to buy it and give it a try when they saw the host displaying the merchandise function on television with excited lines. From the looks of it, selling goods online was faster and more convenient than live broadcasting on television. As long as he clicked on the link and paid as usual, he could complete the transaction. In the eyes of consumers, it was much more convenient than making a phone call. ¡°Let me see how much more you can do.¡± Bezos watched the live broadcast quietly, his interest growing. Bezos wanted to place an order to try it too after seeing Tang Jin eating so happily. ¡­ Xiaochun and Tang Jin took out three types of snacks in a row. The netizens were very interested in buying them. Of course, this was not only because they performed well. Luo Feng even left a few accounts and infiltrated their live-stream. Every time the introduction of the new product ended and the netizens were still hesitating about buying it, the account in Luo Feng¡¯s hand would begin to respond to pull the crowd in. When he completed this series of actions, Yang Tianzhen was sitting beside Luo Feng. He was dumbfounded and gave Luo Feng a thumbs up sincerely. ¡°This hand-peeled bamboo shoot is pure and natural. Friends, look at the ingredients list at the back. There are only raw materials and seasonings. Isn¡¯t it very clean and very healthy?¡± ¡°Furthermore, bamboo shoots have low calories. They¡¯re very suitable for people trying to lose weight to eat as snacks. They¡¯re delicious without feeling guilty. Listen to this crunching sound!¡± Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were already promoting the sixth product. ¡°Awesome. I¡¯m about to start losing weight. You guys know me too well!¡± ¡°I like bamboo shoots. They¡¯re not expensive. I¡¯ll buy them and try them.¡± ¡°I like all these snacks in the live-stream.¡± The live stream had already reached 80,000 viewers. Many people came because of the fame and were also very interested in the products recommended by Xiaochun. The enthusiasm of the netizens was so high that they couldn¡¯t wait to buy the items immediately! Unknowingly, an hour had passed. Tang Jin and Xiao Chun did not rest during this period. The two of them became more and more tired, and their tone of speech became slower and slower. The shopping link was not perfect since this was the first live broadcast. They had to jump out to Amazon to shop. The two of them could not see the real-time data. Their initial beam of support gradually weakened and they did not have the motivation to continue. The two of them became more and more tired. The netizens in the live-stream had watched too many snack sales and found it boring after the novelty. ¡°This is today¡¯s last custom-made chocolate!¡± Xiao Chun opened the chocolate box and handed it to Tang Jin. Tang Jin had eaten too much. The sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy tastes in her mouth were mixed together. Because she ate too much, she felt a little nauseous. She reluctantly picked up a piece of chocolate and placed it in her mouth. She chewed for sometime before she felt the strong sweetness. Normally, she would think that it was very delicious. The melted chocolate had a unique richness that flowed from her mouth to her heart with a rich sweetness. But now, the strong smell made her want to vomit. ¡°Mmm¡­ it¡¯s so sweet!¡± Tang Jin forced a smile. From her expression, the chocolate did not seem to be delicious. ¡°Oh my god, I can¡¯t stand it anymore. Little Sister Jin is working too hard!¡± ¡°Chocolate that even a glutton like my sister can¡¯t swallow must not taste good.¡± ¡°Sister, throw it up if you don¡¯t want to eat it. No one will blame you.¡± ¡°Chocolate represents love, right? The two sisters selling chocolate feel a little lacking in camaraderie.¡± Even though Xiao Chun was still trying her best to make up for it, the people in the bullet screen were no longer concerned about the chocolate. They were all worried about Xiao Jin¡¯s stomach. After two hours of live broadcasting, no matter how much they wanted to buy, it would be reduced to the minimum. There were already 100,000 viewers in the live-stream, but they were all here for the two sisters. They ignored the chocolate, and some people felt that the chocolate must be difficult to swallow. ¡°Oh no, that chocolate is an Amazon brand.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. He asked Bezos for products, and Bezos used his connections to find some new models. There were even Amazon-brand snacks secretly mixed in. If their reputation collapsed the first time they faced the public, then the Amazon brand would have no fate with chocolate! ¡°What? What should we do now?¡± Yang Tianzhen was anxious as well. It was no joke to offend Amazon, but Xiaochun and Tang Jin had already reached their limits. There was no one to replace them at the scene. Just as everyone was overwrought, the door of the live broadcast room opened gently. Yang Tianzhen was in a panic. In addition, no one was allowed to enter or leave the live broadcast room during the live broadcast. When he saw the foot that had entered, he was instantly furious. He walked over aggressively and opened the door roughly. The wind stirred up attracted Luo Feng¡¯s attention and he turned his head to look over. Yang Tianzhen was about to reprimand him, but when he saw who was outside the door, he swallowed his words and choked. ¡°Lady¡­ Lady Boss?¡± He didn¡¯t expect the person outside to be Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya smiled. Seeing that Yang Tianzhen was still angry, she asked innocently, ¡°Am I disturbing you?¡± How could Yang Tianzhen dare to criticize the lady boss? He immediately put on a professional smile and said, ¡°Of course not. I¡¯ll help you call the boss.¡± Luo Feng had long seen Ai Tingya. He walked over without Yang Tianzhen calling him. He held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. ¡°You came all the way here. Why are you here?¡± ¡°I miss you,¡± Ai Tingya said gently. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Even though their conversation was very soft, it accurately drifted into everyone¡¯s ears. Their loving gazes did not care about the life and death of others at all. Yang Tianzhen, who was standing closest to them, felt as if he had just eaten two kilograms of dog food. ¡°By the way, Tingya, come and help me with something.¡± Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya behind the camera and gestured for Xiao Chun and Tang Jin to make way. When the two of them saw the beautiful girl beside Luo Feng, they were shocked by her beauty and were momentarily distracted. ¡°Tingya, cooperate with me and sell the last product,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Get me do a live broadcast?¡± Ai Tingya was slightly surprised. When she saw Xiaochun and Tang Jin¡¯s terrible state, she immediately nodded without any hesitation. ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Her boldness made Xiaochun and Tang Jin give up their seats obediently before they could ask further. Chapter 325 - 325 Quests Completed! 325 Quests Completed! Not only were Xiao Chun and Tang Jin very tired, even the netizens on the other side of the camera were a little aesthetically tired. The comments also slowed down, and only a few jumped out from time to time. If not for the number of people online, one could almost think that no one was watching the live-stream. Not many netizens paid attention to Xiaochun and Tang Jin making way for them. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had just sat in front of the camera and had yet to raise the chocolate. The bullet screen suddenly exploded again! ¡°Who is this beauty? She¡¯s really beautiful!¡± ¡°Pretty sister, can I stick to you?¡± ¡°Even though Xiaochun and Xiaojin are very good, this beauty is even more eye-catching. I like her!¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you come out earlier? I could have bought some more food!¡± ¡°There¡¯s a handsome guy beside him. Why isn¡¯t anyone praising him? Is the live-stream filled with boys?¡± ¡°They¡¯re all busy taking screenshots. Who has the time to post comments?¡± The comments flew up like crazy. Luo Feng did not even see the specific content. In short, the atmosphere in the live-stream became lively again. ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng happily. She did not expect that a casual look would receive an enthusiastic response from the netizens! ¡°Ah ah ah ah! These loving eyes are too eye-catching when a handsome man and a beautiful woman are together!¡± ¡°Any one of them is a beautiful photo. They¡¯re too compatible!¡± ¡°They must be a pair, aren¡¯t it? Hey hey!¡± ¡°Other people¡¯s love is always so damn sweet. Today is also a day to drool over other people¡¯s love.¡± From the rapidly flashing comments, Luo Feng roughly understood everyone¡¯s main point. Indeed, no matter when or where, beauty was a powerful killing weapon! ¡°Darling, open this box of chocolates.¡± Luo Feng took out the product. Ai Tingya opened the lid expectantly. Each of the small cubes was decorated with cute patterns, and two chocolates in the shape of bears were in the middle. ¡°It¡¯s so cute.¡± Ai Tingya picked up a piece and held it in her hands. ¡°I can¡¯t bear to eat chocolate made into a work of art.¡± ¡°Little fool, I¡¯ll give you more,¡± Luo Feng said dotingly. His heart almost melted with the chocolate seeing Ai Tingya¡¯s happy expression. He couldn¡¯t help but stroke Ai Tingya¡¯s ear. He had wanted to do this for a long time. The sweet taste of chocolate was a perfect match for a couple in love. Through the screen, the netizens seemed to smell the sweetness of love. Ai Tingya held the chocolate and nodded seriously. Then, she stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently licked the chocolate. She narrowed her eyes from the sweetness, like a lazy and satisfied cat. The strong woman with a powerful aura turned into a little girl who was greedy for sweetness in front of Luo Feng. Luo Feng took this opportunity to read out his lines. ¡°Choose chocolate wisely. It¡¯s a snack that can express love the most. If you buy it now, you can even customize patterns and words.¡± ¡°If you leave a message with the words ¡®Innovation Artist¡¯, you can also receive a mysterious gift!¡± Giving food other meanings was always exceptionally attractive. A box of chocolates was not expensive, and many netizens liked it. ¡°Buy, buy, buy! I¡¯ll place the order immediately!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve bought chocolate. May I know where I can get a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Having chocolate means having love? It¡¯s shallow, but I like it.¡± ¡°Chocolate is food blessed by the gods of love. I love chocolate!¡± ¡°Soft-hearted God, please grant me the same beautiful love!¡± The netizens felt that buying chocolate was not enough and treated the live-stream as a wishing well. They looked forward to love like Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, even if the two of them only shared a box of chocolates in front of the camera. However, the netizens still understood how much they loved each other from their interactions and expressions. Ai Tingya sat at the side and focused on eating chocolate. Luo Feng supported his face and stared at her, as if he wanted to watch her forever. ¡°Boss, say something!¡± Yang Tianzhen raised the notification board. Only then did Luo Feng come back to his senses. He said apologetically to the netizens, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. She¡¯s really too cute. I¡¯m fascinated by her.¡± ¡°She¡¯s really cute. We¡¯re also fascinated by it.¡± ¡°Very understanding. I like to watch it, too.¡± The netizens expressed that it was normal to be engrossed. Everyone liked to watch it. ¡°Happy times are always short. That¡¯s all for today¡¯s live broadcast.¡± Luo Feng made a final conclusion. ¡°I also hope that everyone will continue to pay attention to the ¡®Xiao Chun and Xiao Jin¡¯ channel. In the future, we will bring more good products to everyone. Goodnight!¡± Luo Feng turned off the live broadcast. Everyone in the live broadcast room heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°The first live broadcast has ended successfully! Thank you for your hard work, everyone!¡± Yang Tianzhen took out the cannon she had prepared earlier. With two bangs, the golden-pink colored paper fluttered and landed on every smiling face. Even though the data from the Amazon had not been sent over yet, one could predict that the effect was not bad just by looking at the enthusiasm of the netizens in the live-stream. The netizens were very supportive other than the fatigue during the handover. ¡°You scared me to death. I thought we were done for.¡± Xiaochun hugged Tang Jin. Her throat was still a little tight. ¡°You came just in time.¡± Luo Feng proudly put his arm around Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder. The two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Leaning against each other to feel each other¡¯s body temperature, Ai Tingya gently punched Luo Feng. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything. It¡¯s been hard on everyone during this period of time.¡± Innovative Artist was Ai Tingya¡¯s company in name. Even though the employees below rarely saw Ai Tingya, they still knew of her existence. ¡°By the way, I also brought you a gift.¡± Ai Tingya hurriedly ran out and came in with a heavy box. ¡°It¡¯s a new flavor of milk tea. Everyone, try it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s Good Me! My favorite milk tea!¡± Tang Jin was the first to rush to the box. ¡°Lady Boss, you¡¯re too good. I¡¯m so happy. Wait, why haven¡¯t I seen these flavors before?¡± She was a die-hard fan of Good Me. She had tasted every flavor on the menu, even the limited season. However, she had never heard of what Ai Tingya had brought. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s a newly developed flavor. The menu will only be updated tomorrow,¡± Ai Tingya said. Tang Jin had yet to realize what this meant. Luo Feng walked over in surprise. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me such an important thing?¡± He casually picked up a cup and inserted a straw into it. He was instantly surprised by the taste. ¡°This is¡­ Buddha¡¯s Hand Fragrant Cabbage. What a magical combination!¡± ¡°Does it taste good?¡± Ai Tingya asked. ¡°Of course! I like it very much. Customers will like it too!¡± Luo Feng planted a kiss on Ai Tingya¡¯s face. It had to be said that Ai Tingya was very talented in many unexpected aspects, including her taste intuition that was recognized by the public. ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s also this. It¡¯s a milk tea bag.¡± Ai Tingya took out another box. ¡°It¡¯s a ready-to-drink bag that¡¯s convenient to carry. We¡¯ve already made three flavors. It¡¯s the company¡¯s latest research results.¡± The condensed milk tea powder was very simple. It could be replaced with various fragrance essences. However, the ingredients in Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop were very fresh, so it was a huge problem to retain this taste. While Luo Feng was busy with the Innovative Artist, Ai Tingya had already found a solution. ¡°Wait! Wait!¡± Tang Jin interrupted with a confused expression. ¡°Boss, Lady Boss, what did you mean by your conversation just now? Could it be that Good Me Milk Tea is also yours?¡± Chapter 326 - 326 Online Carnival, New Fashion Booking! 326 Online Carnival, New Fashion Booking! Tang Jin was shocked. She admired Luo Feng and had a detailed understanding of his development, including Ai Tingya. However, she did not expect the lady boss to be the boss of Good Me Milk Tea. One was the boss of a delivery company, and the other was the boss of a beverage company. The two of them had almost taken over all the young people¡¯s preferences! ¡°That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t you know?¡± Yang Tianzhen looked proud. He had met Luo Feng and Ai Tingya before they became famous. It was an honor. ¡°I¡¯m a little dizzy. Give me a cup of milk tea to calm down.¡± Tang Jin had a clear goal and took the biggest cup. The others followed closely behind. ¡°I¡¯m so thirsty that I don¡¯t even dare to drink water. The lady boss is too good!¡± ¡°Wow! This taste is so novel. I¡¯m actually the first to drink it!¡± ¡°Long live Lady Boss, you¡¯re the best!¡± Looking at everyone happily sharing the milk tea, Ai Tingya suddenly understood why Luo Feng liked to feed his employees so much. It was really very satisfying. ¡°What about me?¡± Luo Feng said aggrievedly. ¡°Where¡¯s the surprise you promised me?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it here?¡± Ai Tingya held the ready-to-eat milk tea bag. With this breakthrough, Good Me Milk Tea opened a new market. Not only could it open offline shops, it could also open an exclusive shop online. It could be said to have raised Luo Feng¡¯s previous achievements to another level. Of course, it was a very big surprise! Luo Feng¡¯s ambiguous gaze lingered on Ai Tingya. ¡°You mean Milk Tea? I thought you were talking about yourself!¡± It was as if a big bad wolf was teasing a little white rabbit. Upon hearing this, Ai Tingya¡¯s face instantly turned red all the way to her ears. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Of course it¡¯s milk tea!¡± Ai Tingya threw the milk tea bag into Luo Feng¡¯s arms, covered her face, and ran out of the live broadcast room. ¡°We¡¯ve been married for so long, but you¡¯re still so shy.¡± He threw the milk tea bag to Tang Jin and smiled at everyone. ¡°I¡¯ll get off work today. Thank you for your hard work. Bye~¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯ve worked hard,¡± everyone said listlessly. Tang Jin looked at the flashing car lights outside the window and said thoughtfully, ¡°If this was ancient times, Boss must be an expert in using hidden weapons.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xiaochun was confused. ¡°Because his public display of affection accurately focused my heart! Is love that good? Is it better than my milk tea?¡± Tang Jin pouted and was green with envy. Xiaochun looked at the milk tea and then at Tang Jin. ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s good or not, but love is definitely sweeter than your milk tea.¡± ¡°How do you know?!¡± ¡°Because your milk tea is sugar-free.¡± ¡°I was wondering why I couldn¡¯t taste the sweetness after drinking for so long!¡± Tang Jinyang shouted in despair, causing everyone to laugh. Yang Tianzhen said, ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone has worked hard today. Rest early.¡± He had other things to do tomorrow and had to return to the city tonight. Before leaving, Yang Tianzhen picked through the boxes and took the same model as Tang Jin. She hummed a tune and left. The noisy farmhouse quieted down. No one realized that their work tonight had caused a very popular discussion. Almost all the discussions on the forum were about this live broadcast. ¡°I¡¯ve really gained a lot today. I¡¯ve bought all kinds of snacks in the live-stream. Come into my arms!¡± ¡°Pardon me, but what¡¯s in the livestream room?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know about this. Microcosm¡¯s live broadcasts carry goods. Xiao Chun and Xiao Jin are super cute!¡± ¡°The beauty who appeared gave me a lasting impression. Damn it, I still don¡¯t know her name!¡± ¡°What a novel way to bring goods. They even considerately opened the packaging to see the real situation inside. I like it very much.¡± ¡°There are also all kinds of discounts! If the snacks are not bad, I¡¯ll buy them in the live-stream in the future.¡± Even after the live broadcast ended, everyone¡¯s topic remained on this topic. It was as if the live broadcast had become a new fashion, just like when online shopping first appeared. Luo Feng flipped through the comments on his phone. The corners of his lips had never flattened. ¡°What are you looking at? You¡¯re so happy.¡± As Ai Tingya drove, she saw Luo Feng laughing non-stop. ¡°It¡¯s an online evaluation. You appeared for less than 20 minutes, right? Everyone is praising you and searching for your information on the Internet,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Why don¡¯t you debut too? You have plenty of time now anyway.¡± After some thought, he shook his head. ¡°Forget it, forget it. If you debut in a place like the entertainment industry, I might have to kill someone if you get taken advantage of.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll watch the milk tea stall so that you¡¯ll continue to be a law-abiding citizen then.¡± Ai Tingya giggled. Luo Feng quietly looked at Ai Tingya¡¯s side profile. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. When he thought of Ai Tingya standing under the spotlight and casting her gaze at every audience below the stage, Luo Feng was very unhappy. He should think about other things first. ¡°Speaking of which, the publicity department told me today that they want to find an image endorsement for the company,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°Which celebrity do you think is better?¡± In terms of choosing people, Luo Feng¡¯s taste was top-notch. He had never made any mistakes. Luo Feng said, ¡°Why choose a celebrity? I think internet celebrities are not bad. Look at Tang Jin. She really likes our Milk Tea.¡± Ai Tingya said, ¡°The publicity department feels that celebrities have more influence than internet celebrities and are more formal.¡± She did not say the main reason outright. Compared to celebrities, internet celebrities were even worse at business, especially since they were still in the early stages of their career. The public still tacitly acknowledged that internet celebrities were one level worse than celebrities. This was also why many people would rather stay in Morris than to go to Innovative Artists. ¡°I¡¯ll snatch the celebrity racetrack sooner or later.¡± Luo Feng was filled with confidence. ¡°Then about the endorsement¡­¡± ¡°You decide.¡± Luo Feng pinched Ai Tingya¡¯s soft cheek. ¡°Our Tingya is now a powerful lady boss.¡± ¡°Boss Luo, you taught me the best. Hahaha.¡± Ai Tingya su*ked up to him. After coming to Shanghai, Luo Feng bought a villa in a small area with its own garage and garden. However, the house was a little empty with just two of them because the house was too big. In addition, Luo Feng had not returned recently, Ai Tingya did not want to live alone so she was in the company most of the time. ¡°I asked the Auntie to clean up today. Go up and take a shower first, then¡­¡± Ai Tingya said as she stopped the car. When she unbuckled her seatbelt, Luo Feng held her hand, and his gaze became provocative. Ai Tingya was slightly stunned when she saw this. Their breathing became more and more rapid in the small space. Luo Feng chuckled and traced circles on Ai Tingya¡¯s palm with his fingers. The itchy feeling crawled all the way to the back of Ai Tingya¡¯s spine. ¡°I miss you so much. I feel like I can¡¯t wait to go upstairs anymore.¡± Luo Feng whispered into Ai Tingya¡¯s ear. Ai Tingya pushed him away shyly. ¡°Take a shower first.¡± Unexpectedly, Luo Feng grabbed her hands and pressed them against his heart. ¡°I¡¯d take a shower and burn incense in order to achieve good results in the live broadcast. I don¡¯t need to take a shower.¡± ¡°You really are!¡± Ai Tingya took a deep breath and looked at Luo Feng¡¯s gradually blurry eyes. She gently pressed herself against him. This was the first time for them in the car. Chapter 327 - 327 Only 980,000 Yuan? 327 Only 980,000 Yuan? Luo Feng and Ai Tingya made love all night from the garage to his room. It was only when the sky was bright that Luo Feng hugged Ai Tingya and fell asleep. Today was Saturday. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya could slack off and not report to the company. When Luo Feng opened his eyes again, it was almost noon. He looked at the alarm clock by the bed and was stunned for a moment. His stomach rumbled in protest. Luo Feng realized that he had gone overboard last night looking at Ai Tingya sleeping soundly beside him. He pulled up the blanket and covered Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulders before tiptoeing out of the room. He stayed by the stove to cook instant noodles while browsing the comments online. The discussion about the live broadcast was still very enthusiastic. Many people were looking forward to the next live broadcast. Buzz¡ª At this moment, someone called. Luo Feng pressed the call button. ¡°Mr. Bezos, good morning.¡± ¡°Good morning.¡± Bezos¡¯ voice was filled with fatigue on the other end of the phone. ¡°You did well on the live broadcast last night. You must have slept well.¡± ¡°Not really, I¡¯ve been waiting for your feedback,¡± Luo Feng said. Microcosm was not enabled to conduct purchases online so they had to switch to the Amazon website. If Luo Feng wanted to see the data, he had to wait for Bezos to see it before sending it over. Bezos snorted with a smile. ¡°The data is good. The turnover over one night is 980,000 yuan!¡± ¡°Only 980,000 yuan?¡± Luo Feng blurted out. Bezos paused for a moment. The sound of swallowing could be heard from the other end of the line. ¡°980,000 yuan is not enough? Do you know how much a bag of snacks costs per person? A few yuan!¡± ¡°But according to my estimation, it should be more than this,¡± Luo Feng insisted. Bezos seemed to struggle for a moment before saying, ¡°There was indeed a small problem. The warehouse was not well-prepared, so we ran out of stock.¡± No one had expected that a seemingly ordinary live broadcast could facilitate such a large transaction. Everyone, including Bezos, felt that with five or six types of cheap snacks having just been released on the market, 300,000 yuan would be the maximum sales. By the time the live broadcast reached the second half, the first product had already been cleared. The few food factories that were lucky enough to be chosen had worked overtime all night last night. Perhaps they had just changed shifts to continue. ¡°I see. I knew that it would at least be two million yuan,¡± Luo Feng said lightly. ¡°A few snacks selling for two million yuan a night. Are you kidding me?¡± Bezos was amused by Luo Feng¡¯s arrogance. ¡°Young man, you have to be down-to-earth when doing business. Be careful not to drag your balls with your big steps.¡± He habitually educated his younger juniors. Hearing that Luo Feng only smiled and did not answer, Bezos felt for the first time that his habit was too lousy. ¡°I¡¯ll prove it with facts,¡± Luo Feng vowed without any exaggeration. If it were anyone else, Bezos would definitely think that the other party was bragging and was an untrustworthy person. However, if it were Luo Feng, he would feel that he needed to reevaluate. Bezos had personally experienced Luo Feng¡¯s strength after all. ¡°¡­Alright then, I¡¯ll wait to see your results.¡± After saying that, Bezos was about to hang up when Luo Feng stopped him. ¡°Mr. Bezos, can I make the decision on the products we will be working on from now on?¡± His goal was not just food. He had nurtured so many different types of streamers to bring different types of goods. Bezos said without thinking, ¡°I¡¯ll find someone to dock with you. In the future, just tell him the product you like.¡± Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Thank you.¡± After hanging up, Luo Feng hummed a tune and scooped the instant noodles into a bowl. He held his chopsticks in one hand and played with his phone in the other. He sent the transaction amount from last night to Xiao Chun¡¯s group chat, along with the reason for the collapse of the warehouse. At this moment, Xiao Chun, who was sleeping on the bed, heard the notification on her phone and subconsciously brought it to her face. When she saw the number, her eyes widened. ¡°F*ck!¡± Xiao Chun shouted, even more effective than a crowing chicken. Everyone in the small courtyard of the farmer¡¯s house was woken up. ¡°Oh, my God!¡± ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯m dreaming!¡± ¡°Is this for real?!¡± Everyone sighed at the same time, and their cries startled the birds on the tree. ¡°We sold out all our stocks last night!¡± Xiao Chun didn¡¯t have time to put on her shoes. She ran into the courtyard barefooted and spread her arms as she shouted. The others also ran out one after another and hugged each other to celebrate. Right on the heels of that, Luo Feng added fuel to the festive atmosphere. ¡°Everyone, you worked hard last night. You have three days off now. I wish you all a happy vacation.¡± Luo Feng sent a group message. Under normal circumstances, if they suddenly made money, the boss would definitely take advantage of the situation and ask the employees to continue working overtime. For example, the boss of the food factory would definitely double the production after last night¡¯s shortage. However, Luo Feng did not do that. He wanted to add more joy and let the employees rest. Anyway, there was enough video material. There was no hurry in the next few days. ¡°Hehehe, I¡¯ll rest for three days too.¡± Luo Feng put down his phone and held his bowl of noodles. It had been a long time since he had stuck to Ai Tingya. This time, he was going to make it up to her! ¡­ Farmer¡¯s courtyard. The filming crew left one after another to enjoy a three-day holiday. Xiaochun stood by the fence and looked at the misty mountains. For a moment, she did not know where to go. In the past, when she was in Morris, she would practice dancing and singing every day¡­ There was no time to rest. Later, when she came to the farmyard, she would bury her head in farm work every day. There was a lot of filming at the beginning because there had to be enough material. Xiaochun almost did not rest. The sudden three-day vacation seemed to have hit her on the head, stunning her. She didn¡¯t have many friends in Shanghai, so she didn¡¯t know who to play with. ¡°Sister Xiaochun, why are you standing here?¡± Tang Jin¡¯s voice sounded. She packed her things and prepared to go back to school. ¡°I¡¯m thinking about where to go to play.¡± Xiaochun was like a lost child. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just pull out the weeds from the ground.¡± Her desolation was written all over her face. Tang Jin pulled her back and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you come to school with me? The food in our canteen is delicious!¡± ¡°Really? Isn¡¯t it troublesome for you?¡± Xiaochun had been in society for a long time and did not have the chance to go to university. When she heard that she could go and take a look, she was overjoyed. ¡°Of course, hurry up and pack your things¡­ Huh?¡± Before Tang Jin could finish speaking, her phone rang. ¡°It¡¯s Sister Hui Xin. We can play with her too.¡± Tang Jin picked up the phone and said a few words to the other side. She smiled and said, ¡°Now we don¡¯t have to worry about having nothing to do. Sister Hui Xiin asked us to help her move her things.¡± ¡°She¡¯s finally leaving that dormitory?¡± Xiaochun took a deep breath. Even though this had nothing to do with her, she couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous when Morris was mentioned. ¡°That¡¯s right. She can finally leave after dragging it for so long.¡± Tang Jin¡¯s eyes darted around and suddenly had an idea. ¡°I remembered what the boss said. I have another idea!¡± Chapter 328 - 328 Tang Jins Idea, Team Versailles 328 Tang Jin¡¯s Idea, Team Versailles The struggle between Huixin and Morris lasted for months. During this period of time, Huixin did not step into the practice room once. She was either working or on the way to work. Fortunately, she had made money during this period of time, and the situation on her father and sister¡¯s side had improved. This naturally caused the Morris Corporation to be dissatisfied. They had talked to Huixin many times. On the surface, they gave her chicken soup for the soul, saying that she would only be able to reap what she worked hard to sow. She accumulated her strength so that she could make a better debut in the future. They did not talk about the predicament Hui Xin was facing and emphasized the breach of contract fees many times. In fact, they were warning Hui Xin. Hui Xin also used the acting skills she learned from Morris and expressed that her family was having a difficult time. She cried more than once in front of her roommates since she had already set the stage. Therefore, the administrator could not say much about this. He repeatedly emphasized that Hui Xin had to follow the rules. Hui Xin agreed on the surface, but she turned around and ran out to work again. After repeating this for several months, the company took the initiative to terminate the trainee contract. If the company was the one to take the initiative, the penalty would be reduced by more than 100,000 yuan. This was also one of Huixin¡¯s goals. During the last negotiation, Hui Xin cried until she was out of breath in the office again. She said that his family did not have the money to compensate for the breach of contract and hoped that the company would make an exception. Morris was not humane at all. Hui Xin already had a way out. She retreated after she was out of tricks. Today was an important day for her to move out of Morris¡¯ dormitory! ¡°Sister Huixin, over here!¡± The taxi stopped below the Morris trainees¡¯ dormitory, and Tang Jin and Xiao Chun jumped down. ¡°Thank you for coming all the way here for me.¡± Hui Xin was very embarrassed. She was very happy to see the two of them. ¡°The boss gave us three days off. I was just worrying about what to do when I happened to come to look for you.¡± Tang Jin looked around and asked with a secret agent-like laugh, ¡°Have you gotten the contract back? I have a plan.¡± The three of them squeezed their heads together. Tang Jin explained the plan simply. ¡°Alright, I was also worried about how to remind them!¡± Hui Xin agreed. The three girls hit it off immediately and walked into the trainee¡¯s dormitory hand in hand. Morris¡¯s accommodation was very poor. On both sides of the corridor were rooms that looked like grids. Every girl only had a bed and a cabinet to store things in. The toilet was a public area. There was a queue every day and water was often stopped. Xiaochun used to live here too. Compared to her own room in the farmyard, there were all kinds of furniture and appliances. It was really a lot more personal. The three of them squeezed into the room where Hui Xin was and helped her pack her things. A girl who had just returned from washing up saw this and was not in a hurry to leave. She stood behind the three of them and watched. ¡°Why is she looking at us?¡± Tang Jin asked softly. Xiao Chun said, ¡°To prevent us from stealing. It¡¯s more complicated to have more people in the dormitory.¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Tang Jin rolled his eyes. ¡°My salary is close to 30,000 yuan a month now. Do I need to steal?¡± She was angry that her character was being doubted. However, when she thought about how the environment had created the way these girls handled things, Tang Jin decided to use this roommate as a breakthrough point. Tang Jin pretended to pick up the phone and walked to his roommate¡¯s side like Luo Feng. ¡°Boss, we¡¯re helping a friend move. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Really?! We sold the goods for 980,000 yuan! That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to your leadership, Boss. You have to give me more money for the year-end bonus. Alright, thank you, Boss!¡± She was beaming with joy as she performed a non-material performance. She covered her mouth and pretended not to let her voice leak out, allowing the people beside her to hear her. Tang Jin glanced at her roommate from the corner of her eye and realized that her eyes were about to pop out. She was not in a hurry to talk to him. Instead, she ran to Xiaochun¡¯s side and whispered, ¡°Xiaochun, cooperate with me and act happy.¡± Xiaochun nodded and immediately smiled like a sunflower. ¡°Boss, really said that? That¡¯s great. I can finally get¡­ get that diamond necklace!¡± The lines that had not been rehearsed in advance were slightly exaggerated, but it did not stop the listener from paying attention. ¡°Really? Your results last night were so good.¡± Hui Xin stopped what she was doing and was happy for the two of them. Tang Jin did not tell her the news in advance, so Hui Xin¡¯s reaction was very real. The smile on her good friend¡¯s face was very touching. His roommate finally could not sit still anymore. She sat opposite Huixin and said, ¡°Huixin, what does your friend do?¡± ¡°They¡¯re internet celebrities.¡± Hui Xin opened the Microcosm and flipped to Xiaochun¡¯s homepage. ¡°Look, they have a million fans now.¡± Initially, their roommates looked down on internet celebrities because Morris was a company that nurtured celebrities. There was a clear hierarchy between the two, so they felt that celebrities were superior. ¡°Is the salary of internet celebrities so high these days?¡± Her roommate was dumbfounded. She had been in contact with Morris for almost three years. Her family was not very rich either. She was just waiting to debut and earn a lot of money. In her eyes, Tang Jin and the others¡¯ salaries could already be considered a lot of money! ¡°It¡¯s not that internet celebrities have high salaries, but our boss is the best.¡± Tang Jin was very proud. If she had a tail, it would be wagging in the air right now. Xiaochun played along and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Our boss never gave us any pressure. When we couldn¡¯t earn any money at the beginning of the video shoot, he gave us our salary. Now that we¡¯re starting to earn money, we can earn my previous year¡¯s salary every month with commission and bonuses.¡± Her roommate was extremely tempted, but she was too embarrassed to show it. ¡°Then it must be very difficult for you to film a video, right?¡± She flipped through the past videos and realized that the quality was quite high. The soundtrack editing was like one and the angle was even more impressive. The cost was proportional to the reward. A video would take at least two weeks. At the thought of this, the roommate felt a little more balanced. ¡°You¡¯ll still have to stay up less. Otherwise, you¡¯ll easily die.¡± It looked like she was concerned, but she was actually jealous. Tang Jin pretended not to notice. She recalled and said, ¡°It was a little tough at first. It¡¯s inevitable in the early stages. Fortunately, everyone in the team is very professional. They basically passed it in one go.¡± ¡°You have a team?¡± Her roommate continued to be shocked. In her imagination, internet celebrities were very poor in the early stages. Many of them only had one phone and did the roles of makeup, actors, cameraman, editing, and many other professions. Just thinking about it made her tired. ¡°Of course, other than me, everyone in our team has more than five years of experience,¡± Tang Jin said seriously. ¡°I¡¯m the most rookie!¡± Her roommates didn¡¯t dare to imagine. If even the most rookie could earn tens of thousands a month, how high would the salaries of others be?! ¡°What are you mainly responsible for?¡± Her roommate felt her voice trembling. ¡°Eating.¡± Tang Jin said seriously, ¡°I¡¯ll be in charge of eating every time Big Sister cooks.¡± ¡°That simple?¡± ¡°Simple as that.¡± The roommate felt that she could not breathe and gradually doubted her life. She could earn tens of thousands of yuan a month just by eating?! How could she be a celebrity with such an easy job?! Chapter 329 - 329 Please Help Me To Inquire, Is Your Company Still Short Of Manpower? 329 Please Help Me To Inquire, Is Your Company Still Short Of Manpower? One had to be good at one job if one wanted to be a celebrity. Actors had to hone their acting skills, singing had to have a good voice, and dancing had to have dance skills that could conquer the audience. Both professions had to undergo long and hard training. However, this industry was too insidious. There were too many boats chasing too few fish. The competition pressure was very high. Moreover, he might not necessarily encounter a suitable opportunity. Many celebrities that could be seen on television now were combinations of strength and opportunity. He could not cross a wooden bridge for thousands of troops. However, internet celebrities could earn tens of thousands of yuan just by eating in front of the camera. This before considering bonus and commission. Her roommate could not help but doubt her life. What was the point of her persistence? ¡°You¡¯re not lying to me, are you?¡± Her roommate used her remaining rationality to find a way to refute. She could not believe others so simply. She had to see actual evidence. If Hui Xin found these two girls to disturb the morale of the army, wouldn¡¯t she be tricked? She had to get down to the truth! Tang Jin did not seem to understand her roommate¡¯s probing. She scrolled through the WeChat homepage and said, ¡°Our channel has so many likes and comments. Could it be that they¡¯re all fake?¡± ¡°The Internet is virtual. Being able to cash out the traffic is a skill.¡± His roommate pretended to be calm and thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯m not envious, I¡¯m not envious, I¡¯m not envious¡­¡± Tang Jin placed one hand on her waist and flipped through the evidence indignantly. ¡°Look, this is my salary. Look again. This is the message from our boss this morning. Yesterday¡¯s sales and the holiday notice¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, Xiao Jin, why are you showing inside information to outsiders?¡± Xiao Chun achieved perfect cooperation again. She looked so nervous, as if Tang Jin was revealing company secrets. She chuckled and said, ¡°This is something only internal employees can see. I¡¯m embarrassed to understand.¡± Her roommate could not calm down at all. Even though the numbers just now flashed past, they were too eye-catching. She had to see them clearly. Her salary was 30,000 yuan, and last night¡¯s sales were more than 900,000 yuan. The boss called Luo Feng actually generously gave them a three-day break. If one wanted to be a big star, one had to work in the early stages and continue striking while the iron was hot. They were actually on vacation when they were doing so well! Her roommate had already forgotten how long it had been since she had taken a leave. ¡°Also, our boss is super handsome and a very good person. He brings snacks every time he comes to visit us. He¡¯s super willing to spend money on his employees.¡± Tang Jin took out the downloaded Luo Feng scam. She blinked again, but her roommate¡¯s handsome radar confirmed that this young boss was too handsome! ¡°Um, is your company still hiring?¡± Her roommate finally could not hold it in anymore! Xiao Chun and Tang Jin looked at each other and knew that the other party had taken the bait. Tang Jin said, ¡°We don¡¯t know about that, but I heard that Morris trainees have to pay a breach of contract fee if one leaves the company. Do you have so much money?¡± Her roommate¡¯s eyes darted around. ¡°If I have a salary of 20,000 yuan a month, I believe I¡¯ll definitely be able to repay them in two years!¡± Before she could finish speaking, many girls suddenly surged in. ¡°Can I really have a salary of 20,000 yuan?¡± ¡°Is it convenient for you to tell us which company you belong to?¡± ¡°Are you still hiring? I can play the zither and I have a license!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the handsome boss? Let me take a look too!¡± It turned out that this group of trainee girls did not contact them. Instead, they hid outside the door and eavesdropped. When they heard the salary and bonus, they were crazily tempted and wanted to jump ship. At this moment, Hui Xin¡¯s luggage was almost packed. She carried two backpacks and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Tang Jin took a bag with one hand and wrapped his other arm around Hui Xin¡¯s neck. ¡°It¡¯s rare for us to be together. Let¡¯s go eat at Michelin. Coincidentally, my bonus just came in. I¡¯ll treat you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Hui Xin smiled shyly. Michelin was one of the top high-end restaurants in Shanghai. It costs 2,000 to 3,000 yuan per person. No one earning a normal salary could bear to spend in such a way. Tang Jin was too proud to treat Hui Xin to a big meal in front of so many people. In the past, Hui Xin was a nobody in the dormitory. No one had ever paid attention to her. Now, everyone looked at her enviously. They envied her for having such a generous friend. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to leave!¡± Her roommate stopped the three of them sternly and quickly calmed down. ¡°No, I mean, we haven¡¯t finished talking about the topic just now.¡± Tang Jin pretended not to see the girls¡¯ tempted expressions and said seriously, ¡°We¡¯re not in charge of recruitment. Moreover, internet celebrities live for their youth. They¡¯re not as noble as celebrities. I think it¡¯s better for you to stay in Morris. It¡¯s a veteran company after all. It looks very promising. We can¡¯t enter even if we want to.¡± She sighed regretfully. The girls were on the brink of tears. Veteran company? It was so lethargic that their youth might have been worn down in the practice room before there was a result. In comparison, internet celebrities were more reliable! ¡°Who said celebrities are noble? Internet celebrities also have to rely on outstanding abilities!¡± Her roommate stopped Tang Jin. She also wanted to earn money and eat Michelin. Tang Jin stared at the ceiling and thought for a moment. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll go back and ask our boss how many people he needs, but don¡¯t have too much hope. In terms of reputation, Morris is definitely better.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It would be good if I could enter Morris.¡± Xiao Chun smiled meaningfully. They only dared to laugh out loud after the three of them left the dormitory and ran out to the streets. The three girls held their stomachs and could not stop laughing, attracting the attention of passersby. ¡°Hahaha, did you see their expressions? They really want to come with us.¡± Tang Jin wiped the tears from his eyes and laughed until his stomach hurt. ¡°Fortunately, Xiao Chun, you weren¡¯t recognized. Otherwise, the effect wouldn¡¯t be so good,¡± Hui Xin said. ¡°That¡¯s right. My makeup skills are much better than before. They definitely won¡¯t be able to recognize me.¡± Xiao Chun was exceptionally confident. ¡°They definitely can¡¯t calm down now. Sister Huixin, don¡¯t delete the contact information of those roommates first. Let¡¯s wait for the follow-up! It will definitely be very interesting!¡± The three girls walked arm in arm, laughing as they walked. The warm sunlight shone on their faces, and Hui Xin listened to the two of them chat. Unbridled laughter pierced through the entire street, as if they were the happiest people. For a moment, Hui Xin had the urge to cry. Under Morris¡¯s oppressive Affliction atmosphere, it had been a long time since she had gone shopping hand in hand with her peers and enjoyed the sunlight without restraint. ¡°By the way, I want to call the boss.¡± Hui Xin stopped. She could only have a brand new life because of Luo Feng¡¯s help. She really wanted to thank Luo Feng personally. However, Tang Jin and Xiao Chun objected unanimously. ¡°Just send him a message. Wait until you report to the company to talk to him,¡± Tang Jin analyzed. Hui Xin thought that Luo Feng was dealing with something important when she heard Xiao Chun say, ¡°Last night, the lady boss came to pick him up and brought him home. Today, she suddenly gave us a break. They must be glued together. It¡¯s better not to disturb them.¡± ¡°¡­Alright.¡± Hui Xin was speechless, and realized that she was thinking too much. Chapter 330 - 330 Indecisiveness Is Contagious. Rebellion! 330 Indecisiveness Is Contagious. Rebellion! In the Morris Trainee Room. Monica, the dance teacher, stood on the podium with her hands on her hips. Her sharp eyes swept across the trainees below the stage. The mirror in the dance room reflected everyone¡¯s listless faces from all angles. Monica could not help but reprimand them. ¡°Wrong again! Wrong again! What¡¯s wrong with you guys today?! You¡¯re all distracted. Are you not awake?!¡± The trainees lowered their heads and looked at their toes without responding. ¡°Look at your limp limbs. All of you are like octopuses. This is a dance studio, not a seafood market!¡± Monica had a bad temper to begin with, and she was even angrier from the practice today. ¡°I won¡¯t teach you today. The two of you will form a team and revise your basic skills!¡± After saying that, he glared at everyone and slammed the door. ¡°Seriously, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with her today. I was so serious. Why didn¡¯t she see it?¡± A girl complained angrily. Then, she glanced at her partner. She was really like a fish turning over its stomach in the seafood market, looking lifeless. The girl complained, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. Monica is stingy to begin with. Who are you showing your faces to?¡± The person who heard the complaints was called Ling Lanmeng. This was the stage name she had given herself. Everyone called her that. Usually, she was a very serious and hardworking girl. The reason why it was like this today was because she was in the same dormitory as Huixin. Ever since she met Hui Xin¡¯s two friends, she had been doubting her life until now. She was not interested in anything. ¡°Hey! Didn¡¯t you eat? Use some strength! Look, my heels are raised!¡± The girl shouted at Ling Lanmeng. Everyone in the dance studio looked over. In her dream, she also felt that it was nothing. Her eyes were stiff and deep. The girl realized that something was wrong with her partner and actually didn¡¯t react even when she shouted at her. ¡°Ling Lanmeng, are you alright? Did something happen at home?¡± It would be very difficult to have such a gaze that had its soul snatched away if it had not encountered a major change. Ling Lan shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine, Chu Chu. I just don¡¯t know why I have to work hard.¡± In the long and endless life of a trainee, many people would have such thoughts. Chu Chu thought that something had happened to Ling Lanmeng¡¯s family, but she did not expect it to be just melancholy and confusion. ¡°Sigh, I was wondering what it was. Just sweat and take a hot shower! This is the precious experience I summarized.¡± Chuchu prepared to continue pressing her legs. ¡°But when will it end? I¡¯ve had enough.¡± Ling Lan held her face in her hands. ¡°In order to lose weight, I only eat cucumber and eggs every day. I can¡¯t put salt in them! Some people can not only eat a lot, but the more they eat, the more they earn!¡± ¡°You saw some shortcut hype again, right? Calm down and don¡¯t be like this,¡± Chu Chu said. ¡°It¡¯s not a publicity stunt. Someone told me in front of everyone. Just this morning.¡± ¡°What? The company hired a debut senior again? Why didn¡¯t I know!¡± Morris had a tradition. In order to motivate the trainees, he would let the celebrities who had debuted come back from time to time to interact with the trainees. Every trainee treated their seniors as idols, so they cherished this opportunity. ¡°They¡¯re not seniors. They¡¯re Hui Xin¡¯s friends. They earn tens of thousands of yuan a month as internet celebrities, and their boss is handsome!¡± The more she spoke, the sadder she became. ¡°And what do we have here? A strict teacher with loose skin and an endless diet¡­¡± She still had to be scolded even though she was not full. What was the difference between this and hell! Reality proved that doubting life was contagious. Chuchu also began to think carefully about why she was working so hard. She might not even be able to debut. ¡°You seem to be right. It hurts to do these splits. I don¡¯t want to do it anymore.¡± Chu Chu hugged her legs and listened to her dream about what she had seen in the morning. Their states were like a virus. The scene of the human successor appeared very quickly. The trainees scattered in all corners quickly sat together, as if holding a bonfire party, pouring out their grievances. ¡°I¡¯m really too uncomfortable. I have nothing to do with anything. What¡¯s so good about being a celebrity! I want to be an internet celebrity!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve had enough of my stomach protesting. I want to eat hotpot and roast meat!¡± ¡°Oh my god, my mother even scolded me last night and told me to give up on my daydream of becoming a celebrity early!¡± The trainee resonated and cried as he spoke. They even violated the ban on the dance studio and took out their phones to play. Most of them were farming Microcosm and watching videos of Xiao Chun and Tang Jin. ¡°Look, a video has 700,000 likes. Many people like them.¡± ¡°I want to be loved too. I need motivation!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this Xiao Chun? She was my original roommate. She¡¯s doing so well now!¡± ¡°Oh my god, you¡¯re right, I almost didn¡¯t recognize her.¡± Someone threw out a huge piece of news. When the trainees found out that Xiao Chun was the same as them, they naturally brought themselves into Xiao Chun¡¯s role. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I encounter such a good thing!¡± ¡°So it¡¯s also from our place. No wonder you¡¯re so clear about Morris¡¯ rules!¡± ¡°Wait, is Huixin going to be an internet celebrity too? Was she lying when she said that she¡¯s working part time?!¡± ¡°If it were me, I could attract more fans.¡± ¡°My God, her boss is really handsome. It¡¯s pleasing to the eye.¡± Some people flipped through last night¡¯s recording and saw Luo Feng and Ai Tingya at the end. They could not help but be infatuated. However, few people cared. They were very unbalanced, especially when they knew that someone who had once been at the same level as them had suddenly taken a plane and soared into the sky while they were still walking on the same spot. Humans¡¯ instinctive jealousy drove them forward. Ling Lanmeng called Hui Xin and thought for a moment before choosing to send a message. ¡°Hui Xin, ask your friend which company he belongs to. This is very important to me!¡± On the other side, Hui Xin, who was sitting in the Michelin restaurant waiting for food, saw the message and replied truthfully, ¡°They¡¯re Innovative Artists. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s manager is also in this company. Both sides have some conflicts, so don¡¯t tell anyone.¡± The information was exposed to all the trainees. It was too late to keep it a secret! ¡°Manager Yang was also there. I was sad for a long time when he left.¡± ¡°I came to Morris because of Manager Yang¡¯s reputation!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t stay any longer. Morris is hell!¡± The trainees were so frustrated that they could not stop. They did not want to stay any longer. The commotion attracted Monica. ¡°Destroying the houses? I asked you to practice¡­¡± Monica said in disbelief when she saw everyone holding their phones. ¡°You actually dare to play with your phones in my class?! I¡¯m going to tell the chief to chase you all out!¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t ask for more!¡± Ling Lanmeng pulled off the towel and threw it at Monica¡¯s face. ¡°Hurry up and snitch on me. I¡¯ve had enough of your poisonous tongue and bad temper!¡± Chapter 331 - 331 A Bet On The Ending Of The Program? 331 A Bet On The Ending Of The Program? On the third day of leave, in Luo Feng¡¯s villa. Ai Tingya and him were snuggling on the sofa, watching a popular singing show recently. ¡°That female singer called Ottilia sings so well. I like her mellow voice.¡± Ai Tingya leaned into Luo Feng¡¯s arm. ¡°I guess this girl called Ottilia will win the championship in the end,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. That male singer called Wang Feng is also very strong, and his stage performance is very stable. In terms of Professional quality, I think Wang Feng is even stronger,¡± Ai Tingya analyzed. This professional music review program called ¡°I Want to Sing¡± was very popular. Almost every family was watching it. Television station¡¯s viewership ratings and its popularity on discussions online were very high. The netizens even started rounds of scolding battles for the contestants they liked. It was very lively. Ai Tingya had also watched two episodes after the young lady in the company mentioned it. Then, she chased them all the way to the eve of the finals. She knew the two seeded contestants who were competing for the championship very well. Luo Feng felt that she could even write a professional strength analysis online. However, sometimes, entertainment programs did not rely on strength. ¡°Trust me, Tingya, Ottilia has a higher chance of winning,¡± Luo Feng said. This was because he had seen the potential value above Ottilia¡¯s head. In terms of being a celebrity, Ottilia¡¯s potential was higher than Wang Feng¡¯s. In terms of music talent, Wang Feng was much higher than Ottilia. Luo Feng guessed that Ottilia would win and become famous, and Wang Feng was more suitable to bury his head in music and become a behind-the-scenes producer. However, this was not his only basis. ¡°Then let¡¯s make a bet. I¡¯ll bet on Wang Feng!¡± Ai Tingya sat up straight and faced Luo Feng. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bet on Wang Feng.¡± Luo Feng revealed a malicious smile. ¡°What¡¯s the bet?¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Ai Tingya asked. Luo Feng glanced at the bedroom and saw the messy bed inside. He leaned close to Ai Tingya¡¯s ear and chuckled. ¡°If you lose, wear that outfit for me to see.¡± Ai Tingya covered her ears and dodged. ¡°How can that be called clothes? It¡¯s just a few ropes!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care. This is the bet. I just want to see,¡± Luo Feng said shamelessly. Ai Tingya glared at him and smiled. ¡°Alright, wear it for me if you lose!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a deal!¡± The two of them high-fived as an oath. Ai Tingya immediately snatched Luo Feng¡¯s phone and sent a text message to the group. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, isn¡¯t this considered a vicious competition?¡± Luo Feng took his phone and saw that Ai Tingya had asked the management of Gather Sift Takeaway to call for employees to vote for Wang Feng in his name. Xie Yan replied, ¡°?¡± Then, he added, ¡°Next time, don¡¯t abuse your authority as a boss. Those who received, reply.¡± Buzz¡ª Buzz¡ª Buzz¡ª Replies popped up one after another. Luo Feng did not even have a chance to explain. ¡°Why don¡¯t you send it to the Good Me group?¡± Luo Feng protested. Ai Tingya had used up all his people, but did not mention anything to Good Me. ¡°I want to maintain my image. The work group can only talk about work,¡± Ai Tingya said seriously. When Luo Feng heard this, this little girl was learning to be even more cunning. He swept Ai Tingya into his arms and tickled her ribs with both hands. ¡°You really don¡¯t treat your husband¡¯s image as an image. See if I don¡¯t punish you.¡± ¡°I was wrong, I was wrong. Hahaha, I was wrong.¡± Ai Tingya apologized repeatedly, trying to save the situation. ¡°Hehehe, do you know how powerful your husband is now?¡± Luo Feng tickled Ai Tingya until she was exhausted before giving up. After laughing, the two of them maintained a half hug and continued to watch the show. Buzz¡ª At this moment, the discordant vibration of his phone broke the silence. Luo Feng thought that someone had restored ¡°Got it¡±. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Yang Tianzhen. He picked up the phone. ¡°Old Yang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Boss, good news!¡± Yang Tianzhen shouted at the top of his voice, trying to drown out the noisy background sound. ¡°There are many interviewees here today. All of them are good looking and versatile!¡± ¡°Make a registration. We¡¯ll see when I get to the office¡­¡± ¡°There are so many people now. I can¡¯t control the crowd anymore!¡± Yang Tianzhen couldn¡¯t hear Luo Feng since the environment was too noisy, ¡°Boss, how about I let them go back and wait for the news?¡± Before Luo Feng could speak, the person on the other side pulled Yang Tianzhen and said a few words. Luo Feng waited for a while before he heard another exclamation. ¡°What? You¡¯re all Morris¡¯ trainees. No wonder you look familiar! Ah!¡± Beep¡ª Beep¡ª Beep¡ª After being surprised, Yang Tianzhen hung up. When Luo Feng called again, it was switched off. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ai Tingya sensed that Luo Feng¡¯s expression was not too good. ¡°Did something happen?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ll go over and take a look,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°I¡¯ll be back before dinner. Wait for me at home.¡± Ai Tingya got up. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you!¡± ¡°But this show¡­¡± Luo Feng felt a little guilty. He should be accompanying Ai Tingya to watch her favorite television show for the entire day during the holidays, but he left at the last minute for work. Ai Tingya said as she changed her clothes, ¡°Today is not the finals. Let¡¯s go.¡± She was even more anxious than Luo Feng. It took less than five minutes from hanging up the phone to driving out. Luo Feng learned from the photographer that Yang Tianzhen had gone to the studio today, so he drove over. When the two of them alighted from the car, the surroundings were silent. Most of the office workers in the office building were completing their work step by step. When Luo Feng and the other party walked to the floor where the studio was, it was not as noisy as they had imagined. ¡°Could it be that I¡¯ve come to the wrong place?¡± Luo Feng walked to the door with Ai Tingya with such doubts. He saw Yang Tianzhen holding his butt up and picking things up from the ground. Other than the fact that he was too fat and was slow to get up, there was nothing wrong with him. ¡°Old Yang, what are you doing?¡± Luo Feng asked. Hearing the voice, Yang Tianzhen hurriedly turned around. ¡°Boss, Lady Boss, why are you here?¡± Ai Tingya walked in to help clean up the chaotic studio. ¡°Your phone was suddenly turned off. We thought something had happened to you.¡± The office was a mess, and there were documents all over the ground. Vase vases had fallen, the coffee table had flipped over, and even a cushion on the sofa was missing. It looked like it had just been robbed. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s face was filled with guilt as he took out a handful of spare parts from hIS pocket. ¡°There were too many people just now. My phone accidentally fell to the ground and was crushed. I¡¯m sorry for making you worry.¡± Luo Feng looked at the remains of the phone. The largest part was only the size of a fingernail. It was unknown how many people had stepped on it. Then, he looked at the laptop that had been placed at the corner of the table for some reason. The scene previously must have been quite tragic. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± Luo Feng straightened the coffee table. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, tell me what happened just now. What happened to the Morris you mentioned?¡± Chapter 332 - 332 Sister, Dont Be Blinded By Love! 332 Sister, Don¡¯t Be Blinded By Love! Because Yang Tianzhen mentioned ¡°Morris¡± and suddenly hung up, Luo Feng thought that he had been retaliated upon, so he rushed over in a hurry. Yang Tianzhen explained, ¡°It¡¯s the holidays. I wanted to drive out to play today, but I remembered that I left my driver¡¯s license in the studio, so I came to get it. I didn¡¯t expect so many people to gather at the door. Before I could ask what was going on, they raised their resumes and said that they were looking for a job.¡± Yang Tianzhen was overjoyed to meet so many beautiful girls and did not want to take a vacation anymore. She opened the door and let the girls enter the house first. ¡°Later on, there were more and more of them. I really couldn¡¯t handle it alone, so I wanted to call you to ask for instructions.¡± Yang Tianzhen sighed. ¡°Who knew that they would say that they were from Morris? I was so nervous that my phone fell to the ground and was stepped on. I thought that something was wrong, so I sent them back first. I said that I would discuss it with my boss before deciding.¡± Luo Feng looked at the mess in the room and estimated that 30 to 40 girls came together. ¡°Why is it so sudden? Did something happen to Morris?¡± Luo Feng asked. Thinking of Hui Xin¡¯s termination of the contract, everyone gathered together and thought of all kinds of methods. It took them a few months to succeed. These girls couldn¡¯t possibly have agreed to leave after paying, right? How could Normal families have more than 100,000 yuan in idle money? ¡°I¡¯m also puzzled. I wanted to buy a new phone before calling you, but you came,¡± Yang Tianzhen said as she tidied up. When he saw the laptop padding the corner of the table for no reason, his heart ached. Luo Feng looked around and thought for a moment. ¡°Hmm¡­ If I remember correctly, Hui Xin officially left Morris two days ago. I was wondering why she didn¡¯t report to me. Perhaps she knows the reason.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call her immediately¡­ Forget it, you can call her.¡± Yang Tianzhen smiled bitterly and silently tidied up the studio. Luo Feng walked to the side to make a call. Ai Tingya walked to the door with a broom and dustpan and helped clean up. She did not know how the group of girls left, but they even left paper fragments at the entrance of the company next door. Ai Tingya began to sweep back from the furthest place. As she scanned, a pair of red bright leather high heels entered her line of vision. Ling Lanmeng stood in front of Ai Tingya and crossed her arms. ¡°Can you make way?¡± Ai Tingya looked up and saw that she was wearing a short skirt with slits. Her thighs were long and slender, and her exquisite makeup and hair were integrated. It was obvious that they had been carefully matched. In addition, she had her resume in her hand and her target was to go straight to the studio. Ai Tingya said, ¡°You¡¯re here for the interview, right? The Innovative Artist has temporarily stopped the interview. I¡¯m sorry, but you can leave your contact information first so that you can inform me later.¡± Thinking that Luo Feng had yet to ask for the reason and did not know the other party¡¯s motive, Ai Tingya decided to persuade her to retreat first. ¡°You¡¯re from Innovative Artist?¡± Ling Lanmeng asked. The moment she saw Ai Tingya¡¯s face clearly, she could not help but gasp. The girl sweeping the floor in front of her did not wear any makeup, but she was naturally beautiful. Her thick black hair was tied behind her head. Her eyes were calm and indifferent, and her smile was just right. Ling Lanmeng suddenly felt a sense of danger. If the requirements for hiring Innovative Artists were so high now, she would definitely not be able to get involved. What was the point of falling out with Morris! ¡°Yes.¡± Ai Tingya had never dealt with the entertainment company much and casually made up an identity. ¡°I do the cleaning.¡± Ling Lanmeng felt even more despair when she heard this. Even the cleaner was so beautiful and elegant. Wouldn¡¯t the requirements for her debut be sky high? Ai Tingya was still holding her phone. ¡°By the way, may I have your contact information?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Ling Lanmeng waved her hand weakly. ¡°I¡¯m too ordinary. I¡¯m not fated with your company¡­¡± With that, she turned around and left. Ai Tingya did not know what kind of mental journey Ling Lanmeng had gone through, but she knew that it was not easy for young girls to fight in a big city. She and the companies under Luo Feng would try their best to give them opportunities. ¡°Don¡¯t leave yet. Boss and the others have something on now. They should arrange an interview later.¡± Ai Tingya chased after her. ¡°No need.¡± Ling Lanmeng sniffed, tears welling up in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯d better give up my dream of becoming a celebrity and go home to get married.¡± Ai Tingya did not understand what was wrong with her. She hurriedly said, ¡°If you give up on yourself, who will help you persist!¡± Hearing this, Ling Lanmeng felt bitter. Was she the one who wanted to give up? It was reality that made her recognize herself. It could be seen that Ai Tingya had been trying to persuade her to stay. Ling Lanmeng felt that this person was quite good. She stopped the tape and smiled. ¡°Thank you for encouraging me. Do you keep me because you think I have potential?¡± Ai Tingya shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about potential, but I know that people have to work hard in life! We can¡¯t give up so easily!¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Ling Lanmeng wiped her tears along with her badly drawn eyeliner. The area around her eyes was dyed black, making her look like she had giant panda eyes. Ling Lanmeng said, ¡°Please take down my contact information. I¡¯ll be waiting for the interview!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Ai Tingya opened the memorandum and recorded Ling Lanmeng¡¯s name and phone number. Ling Lanmeng took two steps before turning back. She said to Ai Tingya, ¡°By the way, you¡¯re so beautiful that you can be a celebrity. Why are you cleaning here?¡± Ai Tingya felt that she really shouldn¡¯t be lying, but she couldn¡¯t say anything. She only said, ¡°Because my husband is here. I¡¯m here to help him.¡± ¡°Sister!¡± Ling Lanmeng grabbed Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulder and shook it vigorously as if she had stepped on a landmine. ¡°You can¡¯t be so romantic. Men are unreliable. You were so clear-headed when you encouraged me. Why did you choose such a confusing path!¡± Before Ai Tingya could explain anything, Ling Lanmeng suddenly put her arm around her and said excitedly, ¡°Family is a path of retreat. It¡¯s the lowest and most helpless choice in life. How can you waste your good youth helping men fight! For yourself, don¡¯t be in love!¡± ¡°But he¡¯s helping me¡­¡± ¡°Helping you to make you sweep the floor here, helping you to waste your beauty and temperament. This b*stard is clearly deceiving you! Sister, you have to wake up!¡± Ling Lanmeng was certain that Ai Tingya had been tricked by a man. What she hated the most in her life were love-mindedness and cunning men. Ling Lanmeng thought that Ai Tingya was a frog deep in a well. She only wanted to save her. ¡°No, I think you¡¯ve misunderstood¡­¡± Ai Tingya did not know how to explain. ¡°Sister, I know you¡¯re in love and won¡¯t listen to advice, but I hope you can think about my words when you¡¯re wronged. You have to think for yourself!¡± Ling Lanmeng said seriously. At this moment, a voice sounded. ¡°Who¡¯s wronged?¡± Luo Feng walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side and naturally took the broom. ¡°Just leave these small matters to me. This is¡­¡± ¡°Application for a job,¡± Ai Tingya said. Ling Lanmeng looked at Luo Feng and felt that he looked a little familiar, as if she had seen him on someone¡¯s phone¡­ Chapter 333 - 333 The Question Is A Little Complicated This Time, Stay 333 The Question Is A Little Complicated This Time, Stay Ling Lanmeng stared at Luo Feng again and again. Not only was Luo Feng handsome, but he also looked a little familiar. Could it be that all the handsome men in the world had something in common? Moreover, from their intimate conversation just now, they were definitely a couple! Wait a minute! Ling Lanmeng had a flash of inspiration, and her mind went blank. She remembered where she had seen this handsome man before. It was on Hui Xin¡¯s friend¡¯s phone! Ling Lanmeng felt like she had been struck by lightning. Her mouth was slightly agape, and she forgot to move for a moment. Ai Tingya did not notice this and asked Luo Feng, ¡°How¡¯s the matter?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°Xiao Chun said that they did say a few more words, but they still know their limits. As for what happened today, it shouldn¡¯t be related to them. We can take over.¡± After explaining, Luo Feng noticed the petrified Ling Lanmeng. ¡°I think I heard words like ¡®suffering and wronged¡¯ just now. What were you guys talking about just now?¡± Luo Feng asked with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. She¡¯s also here for an interview.¡± Ai Tingya smiled. The two warm and friendly smiles were extremely awkward in Ling Lanmeng¡¯s eyes. And what did she just say?! This handsome man was the boss of the Innovative Artist Company, Luo Feng. Then this beauty was the boss¡¯s girlfriend, the real lady boss! She came for the interview but she actually said that the lady boss was a love-struck fool and even persuaded her to stay away from men! ¡°I¡¯m going to die!¡± Ling Lanmeng roared in her heart. She just wanted to find a hole to hide in. ¡°What have I done? My career has come to an end¡­¡± She was filled with regret. If she had known earlier, she wouldn¡¯t have said so much! ¡°An interviewee?¡± Luo Feng was very happy. He saw that the potential index above Ling Lanmeng¡¯s head was actually at the same level as Xiao Chun¡¯s. Then, he looked at the matching of Ling Lanmeng¡¯s makeup and clothes. They were integrated and very artistic. He understood what Ling Lanmeng¡¯s potential was. ¡°Coincidentally, I¡¯m almost done with my matters. You¡¯re the first interviewee. Please come in.¡± Luo Feng turned his body and made way, appearing very polite. Ling Lanmeng was in a daze for a moment. She looked at Ai Tingya and saw a pure and flawless smile on her face. She did not care about her nonsense at all. ¡°Thank you.¡± Ling Lanmeng lowered her head, her breathing shallow. The three of them entered the studio one after another. Yang Tianzhen recognized her at a glance. ¡°Ling Lanmeng, why are you here too?¡± Yang Tianzhen had guided Ling Lanmeng in the past and had a good impression of this persistent little girl. ¡°You came at the right time. Do you want a drink?¡± ¡°Water is good. Thank you, Manager Yang,¡± Ling Lanmeng said. She calmed down a little when she saw someone familiar. Luo Feng was not in a hurry to start the interview. Instead, he let Yang Tianzhen and Ling Lanmeng catch up and listen to the story from another perspective. Ling Lanmeng was also a straightforward person. After falling out with Morris, she did not hold back at all and told Yang Tianzhen everything after Huixin left. ¡°No wonder so many trainees came for the interview together. I thought it was a raid, hahaha.¡± Yang Tianzhen mocked himself. ¡°Everyone can¡¯t stand the company anymore. Life is dry and hard. We don¡¯t know when we¡¯ll be able to make a name for ourselves. We might as well unite everyone and cause trouble this time,¡± Ling Lanmeng said. She touched her hair and was still a little happy. She had a chance to sit here alone and talk to Yang Tianzhen because she had put on makeup, clothes, and hair in the morning. Yang Tianzhen was also very happy. She learned from them that Xiao Chun and the others did not use any instigating words, and Morris could not hold anything against them. However, Ai Tingya said worriedly, ¡°What¡¯s the reply from the company? Are they willing to rescind the contract?¡± ¡°No,¡± Ling Lanmeng said. ¡°But everyone no longer practices. They either work or submit their resumes. The company can¡¯t do anything to us.¡± The more she said this, the more worried Ai Tingya became. Ever since Good Me Milk Tea was established, Ai Tingya had come into contact with the higher-ups of many other companies and heard a lot of company gossip. The company would not compromise just because there were many people. They specially raised a legal team. It was not impossible for them to sue them all at the same time. Ai Tingya knew that most of these trainees did not have any background and their family conditions were very ordinary. Very few people could pay the breach of contract fees at once. Moreover, they would definitely anger the higher-ups of Morris if they immediately wanted to throw themselves into the arms of the company after abandoning Morris. For the sake of face and better management in the future, Morris would definitely not show any mercy! ¡°Your first priority now is not to find a job, but to cut ties with Morris,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°But I don¡¯t know what to do¡­¡± Ling Lanmeng looked at the three of them pitifully. She did not have much social experience and could not find any famous friends in the big city. The most powerful acquaintance was Yang Tianzhen. At this moment, Yang Tianzhen was looking at Luo Feng. ¡°Boss, there are so many people. We can¡¯t deal with them like Hui Xin.¡± Yang Tianzhen voiced his worry. ¡°I¡¯m also thinking that Hui Xin has already left relatively quickly and spent a lot of money and time. Morris didn¡¯t target her because she kept a low profile. There are so many people now. Morris definitely won¡¯t let go just like that. Moreover, there¡¯s a contract¡­¡± Luo Feng frowned slightly.¡± I have to think about this carefully. Continue working first. ¡± ¡°What job?¡± Yang Tianzhen was confused. Could it be cleaning up the house? ¡°I¡¯ve already promised her. Of course, I¡¯ll continue the interview,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°This girl has good potential. You can keep her. You can do as you see fit with the others.¡± Hearing this, Ling Lanmeng¡¯s heart that had sunk to the bottom of the valley rebounded, and there was a light of hope in her eyes. ¡°But we haven¡¯t dealt with Morris yet.¡± Yang Tianzhen said awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll deal with it the way Hui Xin dealt with it for the time being. I¡¯ll tell you when I think of a better way.¡± Luo Feng did not mind. In the past, there had been large-scale changeovers between the opponent¡¯s employees, but this time, there were more procedures. Luo Feng was confident that they would cross that bridge when they came to it. ¡°Thank you, boss!¡± Without waiting for Yang Tianzhen to speak, Ling Lanmeng stood up and bowed deeply to Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. This was not only to thank Luo Feng for taking her in, but also to thank him for thinking of a way to help them and not abandon her. This bow was not only for Ling Lanmeng herself, but also for the other trainees who had encountered the same thing on their behalf. ¡°Listen to Old Yang. We¡¯ll get going first.¡± ¡°Good luck.¡± After greeting each other, the two of them left the studio. Ling Lanmeng¡¯s heart warmed. She sat opposite Yang Tianzhen and looked in the direction the two of them had left for a long time. ¡°I¡¯m so lucky to have such a boss and lady boss.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Then why did you persuade the lady boss to leave the d*mn man?¡± Yang Tianzhen smiled as he watched Ling Lanmeng petrify. He added, ¡°You were so loud just now. It was difficult for us not to hear you. Hahaha.¡± Chapter 334 - 334 Spy? I Trust Everyone! 334 Spy? I Trust Everyone! Just as the Great Wall was not built in a day, the problem he was facing now was not something that could be resolved in a short period of time. Considering the fact that the contract was in Morris¡¯ hands, Luo Feng decided to wait and see. The three-day vacation ended. On the morning of work, Luo Feng drove to the farmyard. The filming team was not here yet. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were cleaning up the courtyard. Seeing Luo Feng arrive, the two of them ran out happily to welcome him. ¡°Boss, you¡¯re early.¡± Tang Jin chuckled and circled Luo Feng, her face filled with ¡°praise me¡±. Luo Feng did not answer her. He smiled and walked under the two halls. He first made himself a cup of tea and asked, ¡°When will your Manager Yang come over?¡± Xiao Chun said, ¡°He said that there are a few more people who need to be interviewed. They might be around ten o¡¯clock.¡± Luo Feng nodded and did not ask further. He lay on the cool chair and picked up a magazine beside him to read. This silence made Xiao Chun and Tang Jin confused. They had also heard about the studio yesterday. There was definitely a lot to say about such a big matter, but Luo Feng neither praised them nor taught them a lesson. It was as if today was a frequent morning. Luo Feng came here exclusively and leisurely began to hum a tune. Tang Jin did not give up. She took out two bags of precious snacks and walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side. She tried to find something to talk about. ¡°Boss, Sister Hui Xin asked me to ask if you¡¯re free today. She wants to come over.¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± Luo Feng moved the magazine away and took away a bag of snacks. ¡°Let her come here.¡± ¡°¡­Alright.¡± Tang Jin thought to herself, Is that all? She turned around and took two steps before turning back. She mustered her courage and said, ¡°Boss, don¡¯t you have anything to tell us?¡± Luo Feng asked, ¡°Say what?¡± ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s about yesterday!¡± Tang Jin stammered. As she was not much different in age from Luo Feng, Luo Feng rarely took out his boss¡¯s attitude and never hid himself. He would tell his employees the truth. Therefore, Tang Jin and the others were very close to Luo Feng and treated him as a friend. Now that Luo Feng asked the obvious, Tang Jin¡¯s heart pounded. Should he not have asked? ¡°Why are you standing there?¡± Luo Feng looked at Tang Jin, who was biting her lip, with an embarrassed expression. ¡°Do you want tea?¡± Luo Feng thought that she was here to freeload, so he poured a cup for her and also poured for Xiao Chun, calling her over. Xiao Chun was much calmer than Tang Jin. She said, ¡°Boss, we heard that many Morris trainees went to the studio for an interview yesterday. Did we cause trouble for you?¡± ¡°No.¡± Luo Feng was confused. ¡°So you wanted to ask about this. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± It¡¯s not a big deal? Xiao Chun and Tang Jin complained silently. Last night, they asked Ling Lanmeng. Most of the trainees of the same level as her had run away. More than half of the trainees had run to Yang Tianzhen¡¯s studio. Morris was divided into two levels of the practice room. The ratio was about 1:9. In other words, Tang Jin and the others had pried away 90% of Morris¡¯ trainees with a few words. If Tang Jin were a higher-up of Morris, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. Luo Feng said that it was not a big deal. In the end, the boss was bold and calm. Seeing that Luo Feng was not angry, Tang Jin immediately pretended to be obedient. ¡°Boss, tell us. I¡¯m really curious about how you¡¯ll deal with it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Boss. If we cause trouble for you, please tell us. We¡¯ll think of a way to make up for it!¡± Xiao Chun said. Even though the two of them expressed differently, they both had the same meaning. Luo Feng put down the magazine and said, ¡°This matter is still inconclusive, so there¡¯s nothing to talk about. As for the trouble¡­ It¡¯s a blessing in disguise.¡± The two of them were at a loss, but they didn¡¯t seem to listen. Luo Feng continued, ¡°Your silly lady boss hopes that everyone can be happy. Last night, she heard Maurice¡¯s Overlord Clause and reminded me to help them. What can I do? Listen to my wife.¡± His words were filled with doting towards Ai Tingya. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin¡¯s were so sour that their faces nearly got distorted with their scrunching up. ¡°Haha, so the lady boss has such a grand wish.¡± Tang Jin said in surprise. She saw that even though Ai Tingya looked delicate, her aura was strong. She did not expect her to have such a soft heart. Tang Jin had heard of Gather Sift Takeaway giving benefits to merchants and delivery men in the past. She only thought that it was because of Luo Feng¡¯s noble character and integrity. After that, she asked about Good Me Milk Tea and realized that the employees of the two companies were treated very well and the welfare measures were perfect. It was even better than the employees of many state-owned enterprises. Only then did she understand that all of this was done for his lover. Tang Jin cried as she thought about it. ¡°So this is not empty talk. I admire you so much! From today onwards, the lady boss is also my idol. She¡¯s ranked first!¡± ¡°What about me?¡± Luo Feng pointed at himself. He knew that Tang Jin studied mathematics and had even taught her questions previously. At that time, Tang Jin¡¯s eyes were filled with stars. Why had her idol been changed in just two sentences? ¡°Since you like the lady boss so much, it¡¯s fine to queue behind her, right?¡± Tang Jin said seriously. ¡°¡­Of course it¡¯s fine¡­¡± Luo Feng had mixed feelings. The filming team returned to the farmer¡¯s courtyard one after another. They were not nervous when they saw that Luo Feng was around. No one was in a hurry to start work. Instead, there were more and more people at the tea table. Everyone had more or less heard about Morris¡¯ trainees¡¯ departure from training and came to ask Luo Feng for follow-up information. There were not many opportunities to watch the show at the front-line after all. ¡°Let¡¯s see Morris¡¯s movements for the time being. I¡¯ll ask Benson this afternoon and see what Morris¡¯s internal attitude is,¡± Luo Feng said. Of course, he hoped that they could deal with it peacefully. After all, he could exhaust them, and Morris could exhaust them. Those girls could not afford to exhaust them. ¡°Wow! So Benson is an insider. So cool! It¡¯s like spy warfare.¡± The makeup artist smiled and clenched her fists excitedly. ¡°There will be internal strife where there are people. We¡¯re competitors with Morris. It¡¯s a war without smoke!¡± Photographer Blaze smiled. ¡°Tsk, then do we have any opponents among us?¡± The Screenwriter Hong could expand his opinion of the story with any small matter. No one cared for it. ¡°Screenwriter Hong, you¡¯re doing it again. How can anyone be so stupid as to be a spy for Morris?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say such things that affect our unity. Just write the script.¡± ¡°Hahahaha, your imagination is too rich.¡± ¡°Screenwriter Hong also knew that he had misspoken. He scratched his head and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s true. A spy has to have a purpose. What¡¯s he after with such a stupid choice? Hahaha.¡± Everyone laughed, and Luo Feng laughed too. He had never doubted the issue of the spy. They were all people he had chosen. Luo Feng trusted them! Trust and unity were the most important if a team wanted to break out of the tight encirclement in intense competition! Chapter 335 - 335 Bensons New Piece of News, Star Gathering Party! 335 Benson¡¯s New Piece of News, Star Gathering Party! That afternoon, Luo Feng and Yang Tianzhen went to look for Benson and arranged to meet him at a remote cafe. It was called ¡°Meeting Coffee¡±, very unique, quiet, and elegant. It was the location Benson had designated. After Luo Feng and Yang Tianzhen entered, they found a corner opposite and sat down. They ordered two glasses of ice Americano and kept their eyes on the door. Not long after, a man in a dark brown windbreaker and sunglasses big enough to cover half his face walked in and looked around. Luo Feng said to Yang Tianzhen, ¡°He¡¯s here.¡± Right on the heels of that, he waved at the man in the sunglasses. Benson jogged over like a thief and lowered his voice. ¡°How did you know it was me?¡± Luo Feng did not know if he was a little naturally stupid. ¡°The temperature outside is not low. How can anyone wrap themselves up like a dumpling to drink coffee?¡± Benson was taken aback. He thought his disguise was perfect. He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes. The whites of his eyes were all red and blood-colored, so obvious that it seemed like he had special effects makeup on. He looked like he was about to die. Luo Feng changed the cup of coffee he had ordered for him to milk, worried that he would suddenly die if he drank any more caffeine. ¡°Why is it so bad? Did the trainees leaving together implicate you?¡± Yang Tianzhen said in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that the higher-ups don¡¯t care about those trainees.¡± Benson pinched his temples. ¡°The company doesn¡¯t want to spend resources on them at all. Just recruit another batch after they leave. In any case, the reputation is there.¡± ¡°Even though Morris doesn¡¯t care if they stay or leave, he will still deal with what needs to be dealt with for the sake of his face,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°What does Morris plan to do?¡± ¡°Sue them. It¡¯s the usual method,¡± Benson said. He had never liked Maurice¡¯s trainee rules. Now that the company was being tough, he hated them even more. ¡°That¡¯s not good for them,¡± Luo Feng said. When Benson heard his words, he asked, ¡°Boss Luo, you¡¯re so concerned about this¡­ Could it be that those trainees went to look for you!?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yang Tianzhen nodded and said, ¡°Many people have passed the interview. They can be hired after cutting ties with their former boss.¡± ¡°You guys are so bold!¡± Benson gave them a thumbs up. Luo Feng¡¯s decision was no different from a direct slap to the face. No company in the entertainment industry dared to offend Morris like this. ¡°In short, the higher-ups have handed this matter to the legal department. I can¡¯t interfere,¡± Benson said. ¡°But Old Yang, there¡¯s something I have to tell you.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°The company has already received an invitation to the Star Gathering Party. Didn¡¯t you hear anything?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know about this at all.¡± Yang Tianzhen¡¯s expression darkened. The Star Gathering Banquet was an annual charity event in the entertainment industry. Every year, the theme was either charity or an award ceremony. Especially the Star Gathering Awards, it was said to represent public opinion. It stood from the perspective of the audience and affirmed the contributions of celebrities. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the Star Gathering Party, which was filled with gimmicks, attracted a lot of attention. It was once a television program with the highest viewership ratings at the same time. It was said that it would be broadcasted live on the Internet this year. With such a huge entertainment industry incident, Yang Tianzhen was completely kept in the dark. It could be seen how much effort Morris had put in behind the scenes. ¡°There¡¯s still time. If you can get the invitation, the influence of the Innovative Artist Company will definitely rise to another level. At that time, you will have more confidence in signing a contract with the trainees.¡± Benson persuaded. He was sincerely thinking for Luo Feng. ¡°Thank you for informing me. I¡¯ll contact them immediately and see if I can get the invitation.¡± Yang Tianzhen picked up the phone and hurriedly sat at another table. Benson felt relieved. He picked up the milk and drank half a glass in one go. ¡°Thank you for reminding us,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°I know you¡¯re taking a huge risk too.¡± ¡°This is not considered an internal secret of the company, so it¡¯s nothing.¡± Benson smiled self-deprecatingly and wrapped his windbreaker tightly. Luo Feng could tell that he was very afraid of being discovered. It was not a coincidence that so many trainees left at the same time. While Morris salvaged their losses, they would also ¡°clean up¡± the company¡¯s employees. Benson had previously brought Hui Xin to meet them, leaving behind his chink in one¡¯s armor. Luo Feng had once extended an olive branch to Benson, but he had been rejected. Yang Tianzhen was anxiously looking for someone to build a relationship with. Luo Feng and Benson were speechless. Benson was drowsy. His head nodded bit by bit, and his two layers of eyelids were about to close. Luo Feng played with his phone and browsed through the grand occasion of the Star Gathering Party in the past few years. ¡°They¡¯re dead! A bunch of snobs!¡± Yang Tianzhen cursed. His furious roar attracted the attention of the others. The boss looked unhappy and placed his finger in front of his mouth, indicating for them to lower their voices. Benson woke up and looked around. ¡°What happened? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Feng waved his hand and asked Yang Tianzhen to sit back down first. He also asked for another cup of hot water. ¡°All of them are avoiding me like I¡¯m the God of Plagues. Am I that scary?!¡± Yang Tianzhen pounded the table angrily. ¡°It¡¯s understandable that they don¡¯t want to get involved. Kou Zhiyuan knows your ability best after all. He will definitely put in a lot of effort to prevent you from going too far.¡± Benson looked down at his watch. ¡°I can¡¯t stay for long. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Luo Feng stood up and sent Benson to the door of the shop. He reminded him a few more times before walking back. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s expression was still very ugly. ¡°This gathering is rare. It¡¯s a good opportunity to increase the exposure,¡± Yang Tianzhen said. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely think of a way!¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± The two of them had their own jobs. Luo Feng needed to settle down the trainees while Yang Tianzhen had to find an invitation to the Star Gathering Party. After leaving the coffee shop, the two of them went their separate ways. Luo Feng returned to the farmer¡¯s courtyard first. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were filming a new video while Hui Xin stood at the side to observe and occasionally help. When the filming ended, the three girls gathered together again and muttered, as if they were discussing some secret. After a while, the three of them walked in front of Luo Feng. ¡°Boss, we have something to discuss with you.¡± Xiao Chun said. She took out her phone and opened the chat app. It was a chat group with more than 100 people. ¡°These are all trainees who left with Morris, and there are also seniors that used to be with them who paid the breach of contract fees. We all discussed and want to boycott Morris¡¯ Overlord Contract together!¡± Luo Feng scrolled online and looked at the dazzling replies. There were all kinds of reasons to be dissuaded. Whether they were voluntary or involuntary, they all paid the penalty. Hui Xin said, ¡°Benson has already told me that trainees like us have no possibility of debuting. The company lied to us. It¡¯s too much!¡± Hui Xin¡¯s eyes turned red when she thought of her once wasted youth. Xiao Chun said, ¡°We discussed going online to expose it and let everyone see the true colors of a veteran company!¡± Chapter 336 - 336 Fight Bravely, The Company Is Your Backing! 336 Fight Bravely, The Company Is Your Backing! What a coincidence that Xiao Chun and the others¡¯ plans also made an opening for the difficult problem. ¡°That¡¯s not a bad idea.¡± Luo Feng looked at the trainees¡¯ complaints against Morris Corporation. ¡°I support you in doing this!¡± ¡°But we¡¯re worried that we¡¯ll cause you trouble,¡± Xiao Chun said. The initiators of this event were Xiao Chun and Hui Xin. Regardless of what happened to the others, the two of them had already signed a contract with Luo Feng¡¯s company. If Morris found out, they would inevitably target Luo Feng again. If not for this, they would have long written the complaint and posted it online! ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this. They¡¯re competitors to begin with. There¡¯s no difference between good and bad to me.¡± Luo Feng gave the three girls a complete sense of security. ¡°Just be bold!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Xiao Chun almost jumped up in surprise. With Luo Feng as their backing, the three of them immediately felt confident. ¡°However, there are some things I have to say first. When you terminated your contract, Old Yang and I studied your contract. Legally speaking, there aren¡¯t many things that can be done.¡± At this point, Luo Feng paused and took out a hint-like tone. ¡°But logically speaking, anyone who reads it will be angry.¡± ¡°Hehe, Boss, we know the main point!¡± Xiao Chun immediately understood what he meant. She thanked Luo Feng a few more times and pulled Hui Xin to the side to study how to write the expos¨¦. Seeing that Tang Jin was still standing beside him, Luo Feng asked curiously, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you researching with them?¡± ¡°I¡¯m in charge of mobilizing more people to pay attention to this matter.¡± Tang Jin placed his hands behind his back and imitated Luo Feng. He looked at the backs of the two girls. ¡°It¡¯s not my turn to appear yet.¡± Tang Jin was a student and had a huge social network. Students were also the most sensitive to unfairness in the entertainment industry and the most responsive. Luo Feng revealed a gratified smile seeing that they had a clear division of labor. ¡°I was still thinking of a way for you. I didn¡¯t expect you to have already planned it. As expected of the pillar of our company.¡± Luo Feng smiled. This was not an exaggeration. The only ones that Innovative Artist had begun to earn money were the accounts of Xiao Chun and Xiao Jin. ¡°This is all thanks to you, or rather, it¡¯s all thanks to the Lady Boss.¡± Tang Jin looked in the direction where Luo Feng was looking. ¡°I realized that sometimes, you¡¯re always looking at us from behind, like a parent staring at a child playing with sand. I know you¡¯ll definitely agree with our actions.¡± ¡°You were the one who brought up the news?¡± Luo Feng was a little surprised. Tang Jin nodded. ¡°I was still hesitating at first, but you said that the Lady Boss¡¯ wish is for everyone to be happy. You¡¯re also working hard for it. Our abilities are limited. At the very least, we have to fight for our happiness first, so I encourage everyone to resist together!¡± Morris had deceived so many trainees. They had to get an explanation. ¡°Impressive,¡± Luo Feng said in relief. ¡°Let me know if you need help. Innovative Artist will always be your backer.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t disappoint you, but before that, can you agree to one of my requests?¡± Tang Jin looked at Luo Feng¡¯s side profile gently. ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°Can you stop smiling so lovingly like an old man! What a waste of your handsome face!¡± Tang Jin complained loudly. There were a few times when Tang Jin realized that Luo Feng was silently watching them. There would be a smile on his face as he looked at the children. He was clearly only in his twenties. How could he smile so vicissitudes! Luo Feng thought that she was about to say something and laughed. ¡°I¡¯ll try my best to restrain myself.¡± He did not even notice that it was impossible for him to return to a young man who was ignorant of the world once he went through one incarnation. He often revealed an experienced expression that did not match his age. ¡°I¡¯m despised. I¡¯d better go home.¡± Luo Feng deliberately put his hands behind his back and imitated the old man¡¯s stumbling steps. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re still excited.¡± Tang Jin joked happily. ¡°Maybe only love can change people back from their old age. Go find your antidote.¡± This little girl had hit the nail on the head for Luo Feng. Not only because he wanted to see Ai Tingya, but also because today was the finals of ¡°I Want to Sing¡±! Luo Feng did not forget his bet with Ai Tingya. At night, Ai Tingya got off work and went home. The room was dim, and all the curtains were drawn. There were two candles lit on the dining table, and the slightly trembling flames involved an ambiguous atmosphere. Luo Feng put on an apron and returned from the kitchen with two plates of steak. ¡°Honey, you¡¯re back!¡± Luo Feng eagerly took Ai Tingya¡¯s handbag and pushed her to the dining table. He worked hard to deliver the massage service. ¡°Do you know what day it is today?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She flipped through the calendar in her heart, but she didn¡¯t understand what an important holiday an ordinary Tuesday could be. Birthday? No one had their birthday this month. Wedding anniversary? That is impossible. Commemoration of their meeting? Commemoration of them living together? Anniversary of the opening of the company? Nothing! The more Ai Tingya could not remember, the more anxious she became. She thought to herself that she had actually forgotten such an important day. Luo Feng had even prepared a sumptuous candlelight dinner for her. ¡°Sorry, I forgot¡­¡± Ai Tingya lowered her head and began to admit her mistake. Luo Feng sat opposite her and supported his chin with one hand. ¡°Hmph, I knew you wanted to cheat. Today is the finals of ¡®I Want to Sing¡¯!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ai Tingya took a deep breath. So that was it¡­ That was actually it but there was no need to make it so grand! ¡°Quickly try my cooking.¡± Luo Feng handed Ai Tingya a knife and fork. ¡°Let¡¯s watch the competition after you¡¯re done.¡± Luo Feng was in high spirits and kept analyzing the situation of tonight¡¯s competition with Ai Tingya. After dinner, the two of them snuggled on the sofa to watch the finals. Ai Tingya was filled with confidence. ¡°I¡¯ve seen the strength analysis online and the judges¡¯ preferences. Wang Feng has a higher chance of winning!¡± Moreover, Ai Tingya had even used Luo Feng¡¯s name to get all the employees of Gather Sift Takeaway to vote for Wang Feng. Wang Feng¡¯s votes were already much higher than Ottilia¡¯s! Luo Feng smiled and did not say anything. He stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s hair meaningfully. On the television, the two closely watched contestants drew lots to determine the order of the performance. Ottilia went first, followed by Wang Feng. ¡°Haha, Wang Feng is behind Ottilia. He has more time to prepare!¡± Ai Tingya clapped and cheered. She picked up the potato chips on the table and stuffed them into her mouth. Luo Feng did not say anything, his heart calm. After the song ended, Ottilia performed normally. The guests she invited to help add color to the stage, making the audience¡¯s wild! ¡°Good!¡± Ai Tingya rubbed the goosebumps on her body. ¡°She sang really well.¡± She liked Ottilia¡¯s voice very much and could not help but cheer for the exciting performance. Next, it was Wang Feng, whom she had her chip on. Her heart was in her throat. Wang Feng chose the love song he was best at. His feelings were very full, and when he sang to the climax, he performed exceptionally well. Ai Tingya¡¯s hair stood on end. Just as she thought that she was about to win, Wang Feng suddenly went lame! Chapter 337 - 337 I Won, Time To Taste The Fruit Of Victory 337 I Won, Time To Taste The Fruit Of Victory Wang Feng¡¯s performance was abnormally bad. Everyone who was watching was shocked. Ai Tingya stood up in surprise and walked to the television to cheer for Wang Feng. Luo Feng opened the live broadcast on the Internet and saw Wang Feng suddenly lost himself. Perhaps he did not expect to fumble the ball at a critical moment, his eyes instantly turned red. He picked up the microphone a few times and his breathing was unstable. He kept pursing his lips to calm himself down. After trying a few times, Wang Feng lowered his head. The netizens were very tolerant when they saw this. ¡°It was just a small mistake. Everyone knows that this is not your true strength!¡± ¡°Good luck, the fans will always stand behind you!¡± ¡°Wang Feng, Wang Feng, you¡¯re the best! Don¡¯t give up!¡± The video comments were all encouraging Wang Feng. There was no blame at all. The audience at the venue applauded warmly and encouraged Wang Feng with practical actions. The music sounded again, and Wang Feng finished the final performance while crying. Even though the episode disrupted the tempo a little, the Effect still ended perfectly. ¡°What a pity¡­¡± Ai Tingya said regretfully. ¡°I could have done better.¡± She sat back on the sofa and waited nervously for the final result. On the television, the dignified female host was wearing a royal blue dress and holding a microphone. She looked very excited. ¡°Next, I¡¯ll announce the champion of this competition!¡± ¡°This person is¡ª¡± The drumbeats became denser and denser, as if their hearts were beating faster and faster. The camera switched to the audience. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened and they held their breaths. Luo Feng looked at Ai Tingya and realized that she was the same. She did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that she would blow the result away. ¡°This person is¡ªOttilia! Congratulations to our champion!¡± Pop! The stage was filled with golden paper that symbolized celebration. The new Masked King, Ottilia, took the championship trophy with tears in her eyes and hugged everyone on the stage, including her opponent, Wang Feng. The popular variety show, ¡°I Want to Sing¡±, ended perfectly in the cheerful background. The popularity on the Internet did not decrease. The netizens still had their own opinions about the outcome of this competition. ¡°My Feng! Just a little more, just a little more!¡± ¡°Mental state is also a necessary quality for a good singer. Wang Feng is indeed inferior to Ottilia in this aspect. It¡¯s not wrong for him to lose.¡± ¡°Please, the singing competition is about singing skills, okay? Wang Feng sings better than Ottilia. If you¡¯re not convinced, come and argue!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the point of being good? He was scared by my own cracked voice. I¡¯m dying of laughter.¡± ¡°Congratulations to our Ottilia for winning the championship. You¡¯re really dazzling with the trophy.¡± Even though the outcome was already decided, the fans of the two families fought from before to after the competition. Most of Wang Feng¡¯s fans were unconvinced. They felt that Wang Feng had not used his full strength. If he competed again, he would definitely crush Ottilia! This battle was purely unlucky. Even Ai Tingya felt that it was a pity. ¡°I remember that Wang Feng played and sang a song he wrote himself in the first round. He¡¯s really a very talented person.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°No matter what, I made the right bet.¡± According to the bet, Ai Tingya had to wear the beautiful undergarment made of rope. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to bet, you have to admit defeat. I can¡¯t wait anymore.¡± Luo Feng wrapped one hand around Ai Tingya¡¯s slender waist and rubbed it restlessly. ¡°I¡¯ll we-wear it!¡± Ai Tingya blushed and her voice was as soft as a mosquito. She burrowed into the bedroom and soon heard the sound of rushing water. Luo Feng pulled the curtains in the living room. There was only a small table lamp in the dark room. He sat on the sofa and hummed a victorious tune. After a while, the bedroom door opened a crack. Ai Tingya hid behind the door and asked softly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you coming in?¡± ¡°Come to my side.¡± Luo Feng smiled evilly. Ai Tingya paused and knew that Luo Feng was deliberately teasing her. If she was shy and stage frightful, it would be exactly what Luo Feng wanted. It would be enough for him to be smug for a long time! At the thought of this, Ai Tingya was enlightened. They were already legally married and had long been honest with each other. Why was he so shy! She suddenly opened the door and placed one hand on her waist, like a model on stage. Her figure swayed, and every step was beautiful. Luo Feng gasped. His gaze seemed to be glued to Ai Tingya and he could not look away. He had forgotten who had bought this dress. What should be covered was not covered, and what should be revealed was all exposed. It was more like an ornament than a dress. ¡°Stunned?¡± Ai Tingya chuckled. Without waiting for Luo Feng¡¯s answer, she bent down and split her legs. She sat on Luo Feng and pressed down on his tight lower abdomen. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Didn¡¯t you ask me to wear it for you to see?¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s fingers drew circles on Luo Feng¡¯s chest from time to time, and her tone was so soft that it could be pulled. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you answering me?¡± Ai Tingya grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s hand and gently pressed it against her chest. The soft touch made Luo Feng shiver and he immediately realized Ai Tingya¡¯s thoughts. This girl was becoming more and more proactive! He wrapped his other hand tightly around Ai Tingya¡¯s waist, not giving her a chance to escape. ¡°I wanted to be gentle to you when you go to work tomorrow, but you like to set fire, so you have to be responsible for extinguishing it.¡± Ai Tingya trembled slightly. She wanted to dodge, but Luo Feng kissed her and pressed her onto the sofa. After that, Ai Tingya only remembered that she could not even suppress her voice. In waves of pleasure, she was extremely glad that the soundproofing was good. When he woke up the next morning, he did not remember how he returned to the bedroom. His lower back was sore and numb. Even such a simple matter like getting up became difficult. ¡°Luo Feng, I want to apply for leave.¡± She was weak and realized that her voice was hoarse. Luo Feng looked satisfied and kissed Ai Tingya¡¯s forehead. ¡°It was hard on you last night.¡± ¡­ After breakfast, Luo Feng waited for Ai Tingya to fall asleep again before leaving home to work. He had released himself to his heart¡¯s content last night. Today, he was refreshed and filled with enthusiasm for his work. He drove to the farmyard as usual and happened to encounter Hui Xin in the same direction halfway. She was riding her bicycle and was trying her best to step on it. Luo Feng stopped her, brought his bicycle, and pulled her to the small farm courtyard. ¡°Eh? Why are you here so early?¡± Xiao Chun held the buns and looked at the two of them in confusion. ¡°We met on the way.¡± Luo Feng looked around and realized that the others had yet to get up. ¡°Tang Jin isn¡¯t here today? By the way, how¡¯s the preparation of your news?¡± Xiao Chun said, ¡°She¡¯ll go share the gossip and mobilize her classmates. We¡¯re preparing to expose the news this morning. Take a look.¡± She showed Luo Feng the articles and evidence photos she had written. ¡°Have you shown Manager Yang?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°I sent it to him, but he seemed to be busy with something else and hasn¡¯t replied to me.¡± Xiao Chun said, ¡°Everyone couldn¡¯t wait anymore, so they didn¡¯t wait for his reply.¡± ¡°In short, let¡¯s wait for his opinion. He knows this the best,¡± Luo Feng said. Chapter 338 - 338 Public Opinion Fermented, The True Colors Of Scamming The Company 338 Public Opinion Fermented, The True Colors Of Scamming The Company According to Luo Feng, Xiao Chun called Yang Tianzhen and asked for her opinion. Yang Tianzhen had been busy with the invitation letter. She only said that she would find someone to increase her popularity before hurriedly hanging up. Xiao Chun and Hui Xin were still a little confused, not knowing if Yang Tianzhen had understood. They did not even have time to tell him the exact time. The two of them looked at Luo Feng for his opinion. Luo Feng said, ¡°I believe in your Manager Yang. You just have to confirm with him.¡± Xiao Chun and Hui Xin looked at Luo Feng¡¯s bright smile and suddenly felt extremely confident. Luo Feng gave them a very strange feeling. He clearly looked younger than them, but he would inadvertently reveal a gratified expression as if he was looking at a child. This gave them a complete sense of security. It was as if no matter what their child did outside, their parents would always help them clean up when they returned home. Buzz¡ª Buzz¡ª Their phones kept vibrating at the same frequency. Luo Feng did not need to look to know that they were definitely other trainees waiting to expose the news and were talking in the group. ¡°Looks like everyone can¡¯t wait anymore. Let me know when you post it.¡± After saying that, Luo Feng waved his hand and hid under the pavilion to drink tea. It was already 9:30 a.m. when Tang Jin arrived at the farmer¡¯s courtyard. The three of them immediately decided to post the news on Instagram. Right on the heels of that, other trainees reposted it. As Morris was an old management company, they were very capable in making celebrities famous. Many fans who liked to chase celebrities, including the company, paid attention to them, which also brought popularity to the trainees. Some trainees were really beautiful and some netizens began to pay attention. Many trainees had hundreds of live fans. When they saw their trainees suddenly start to complain about the company, the topic immediately became popular! Previously, the news of Morris training to leave had caused speculation among the netizens. However, at that time, the higher-ups of Morris took advantage of the situation and spent money to remove the trending searches. But it was different now! The complaint article seemed to have wings on it. It described in detail the inhuman lives of the deceived trainees, wasting their youth and being asked for huge compensation by the company. There were many points that could resonate with ordinary people. They were shared and circulated by more and more people and quickly swept through many social platforms. The workers, who were originally silently slacking, naturally noticed this new thing. They immediately perked up and slacked even more. They quickly threw themselves into watching the show. This was also the first time ordinary people understood how many people were silently competing behind the bright and beautiful celebrities. They also understood how the real management company squeezed ordinary people. ¡°You tricked people into becoming trainees and only trained them without being able to do anything. When you reach a certain age, you can just find a reason to dismiss them and ask for a breach of contract fee. Isn¡¯t this pure fraud?!¡± ¡°Morris has always had a lot of trainees. So it¡¯s to earn money!¡± ¡°I have an ugly friend who sings quite well. She was also chosen by Morris¡¯ scouts in the past. So that¡¯s why!¡± ¡°So many beautiful young ladies¡¯ youth have been delayed. Morris, you have no heart!¡± ¡°Everyone, please scold the company. The celebrities from Morris are only workers. Don¡¯t hurt the innocent!¡± ¡°Stupid company, Destruction!¡± The netizens unanimously stood on the trainees¡¯ side and scolded the company that had scammed them. The netizens filled with a sense of justice spontaneously killed their way under Morris¡¯ official account and asked Morris to come out and give everyone an explanation. Tang Jin posted on the school forum to expose the inside story. Her classmates helped forward it to people they knew. It radiated from one point to the surrounding schools and they were very sympathetic to the trainees¡¯ encounter. Yang Tianzhen was overwrought over the invitation. When he saw the news that was going viral on the Internet, he immediately contacted a few gossip reporters he knew and provided them with some internal information, adding truth and popularity to the revelation. In just two to three hours, the news of the Morris trainee spread like a virus, causing the entire Internet to be furious. At the same time, the higher-ups of Morris held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the violent public opinion. ¡°In short, let¡¯s give a description first. It means that all the treatment contracts for trainees are written clearly!¡± ¡°Get someone to take down those targeted articles!¡± ¡°Write down all the accounts that slandered and spread rumors and reserve the right to hold them accountable! What? They¡¯re all the truth? Then find a few with the foulest mouths to make an example out of them!¡± Chapter 339 - 339 There Was Not A Single Speck Of Dirt After Digging Around?! 339 There Was Not A Single Speck Of Dirt After Digging Around?! Benson had his own career goals like Yang Tianzhen. He had long disliked Morris¡¯s style of doing things. The reason why he did not leave was because of Luo Feng. He owed Luo Feng a favor and had been thinking about how to repay it. Benson decided to keep it as a spy considering the status and methods of the Morris Corporation. ¡°Boss Luo, bad news. Morris is trying his best to dig up dirt on you. It¡¯s better to deal with it as soon as possible!¡± Benson was very anxious. ¡°They want to use this method to distract the public.¡± Luo Feng did not mind. ¡°Thank you for telling me. I¡¯ll deal with it.¡± This answer was slightly nonchalant. Benson only thought that Luo Feng was young and did not know the various methods in the entertainment industry and the possible consequences. Therefore, he asked, ¡°May I ask how you plan to deal with it? I can help you use my words as a reference.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ I haven¡¯t thought about it yet, but there¡¯s a high chance that there¡¯s nothing to deal with.¡± This was the result of his careful consideration. After all, ever since he was reborn, all his attention had been on Ai Tingya and his ¡°freeloading¡±. He had followed the law and had never hit anyone or scolded anyone. He was a friendly, ordinary person. ¡°I knew¡­ Your mentality won¡¯t do!¡± Benson said anxiously. ¡°You don¡¯t know, even if it¡¯s a public high when you were a student, Morris can still pour dirty water on you.¡± ¡°But I really can¡¯t remember doing anything bad,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°I can only increase the intensity of the expos¨¦ so that Morris won¡¯t have the energy to do anything else.¡± ¡°¡­ That¡¯s all we can do for now. Prepare the public opinion plan in advance so that you can deal with it at any time.¡± Benson sighed. From the looks of it, he, as a spy, did not seem to be of any value. Luo Feng could only think of a way to deal with Morris after he attacked. Benson pushed open the toilet door and checked the toilet stalls one by one. He only left after confirming that no one was eavesdropping. In order to deal with the news from the trainees, the entire building was in a noisy state today. Everyone was so busy that they did not even have time to go to the toilet. Benson was in a terrible state, and no one was paying attention to him. It was the best time to infiltrate. Thinking of this, he entered the elevator as if nothing had happened and came to Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s floor. This floor was relatively quiet, so Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s roar was especially clear. ¡°What do you mean by you didn¡¯t dig out the materials? What are you doing!¡± Kou Zhiyuan slammed the table loudly. Benson was delighted and ran to the office door. The door was not closed tightly, and he could see Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s desk. Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s assistant stood opposite the table with his head lowered and his hands touching the shuttles, waiting to be reprimanded. ¡°We¡¯ve already poached Luo Feng¡¯s hometown. There really isn¡¯t anything valuable.¡± The assistant was also very helpless. He had never seen a flawless life like Luo Feng¡¯s. ¡°Then what¡¯s this stack of paper? Huh!¡± Kou Zhiyuan picked up a document that looked like a book and smashed it in the assistant¡¯s face. The assistant did not dare to have a temper and helped tidy up. ¡°This is Luo Feng¡¯s life. It¡¯s filled with his achievements and glorious deeds.¡± ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t believe that a living person can have no dirt at all. Pick the main points for me!¡± Kou Zhiping didn¡¯t believe that he had to dig out something that could be manipulated today no matter what. The assistant was helpless and took a deep breath. ¡°Luo Feng¡¯s parents are ordinary working class. Their social relations are clean and normal. They don¡¯t have a criminal record. They¡¯re retired at home now. They travel three to four times a year.¡± ¡°Yes, continue.¡± ¡°Luo Feng studied at a normal High School in Spring City. He was an ordinary student before he was in his second year of high school. Later on, he became the top scholar of the college entrance examination back then.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Kou Zhiyuan stopped him. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible for Normal students to jump to the top scholar of the college entrance examination?¡± ¡°But the results of the investigation are like this.¡± The assistant flipped through the information and said, ¡°Our people have actually interviewed Luo Feng¡¯s high school classmates. In their early life records, there was mention that Luo Feng would help them attend evening self-study. Everyone in class did well¡­¡± ¡°Go and check if there¡¯s anything fishy about his college entrance examination. Continue reading.¡± Kou Zhiyuan did not want to know how outstanding Luo Feng was. The assistant sat down and marked. ¡°When he was in third year, he and his girlfriend opened a milk tea shop.¡± ¡°Having a girlfriend in his third year! Puppy love! Not bad!¡± Kou Zhiyuan perked up. ¡°It¡¯s useless, supervisor.¡± The assistant seemed to have expected him to say this and made a note in advance. ¡°His girlfriend and him officially got together after the college entrance examination. The entire school can testify for him.¡± ¡°The entire school? What kind of school is this?¡± Kou Zhiyuan held his forehead. The relationship was even more chaotic than he had imagined. ¡°Luo Feng entered Oxford University with his girlfriend as the top scholar of the college entrance examination and studied in the Finance Faculty. Then, in the first semester, Luo Feng released a mathematics thesis and resolved a world-class problem¡­¡± ¡°Wait a little longer. How did someone in the Finance Faculty solve the mathematics problem?¡± Kou Zhiyuan could not think straight. ¡°I don¡¯t know. In short, Luo Feng completed his studies in advance after that. Oh right, he established Gather Sift Takeaway during his university period¡­¡± The assistant paused for a moment. ¡°Do you have anything to say about Gather Sift Takeaway?¡± Kou Zhiyuan glared at him and did not say anything. Who didn¡¯t know that the treatment of the delivery man of Gather Sift Takeaway was comparable to that of a state-owned enterprise? They had fair compensation, they had insurance and many preferential policies given to merchants. Back then, the subsidy battle with Are You Hungry was so chaotic that almost everyone had heard of it. Luo Feng did everything. It would be strange if he could operate it! ¡°You did it on purpose, didn¡¯t you? Read on!¡± Kou Zhiyuan scolded. ¡°Yes¡­ The Good Me milk tea and Gather Sift Takeaway that Luo Feng opened are now under his wife¡¯s name. That¡¯s his high school girlfriend. The two of them got married after graduating from university. The rest are all small matters, such as buying a food factory that was about to go bankrupt, paying for a lawsuit for the extorted delivery man, and¡­¡± The assistant felt that it was unbelievable. Such a dedicated and capable person even exuded friendship and pity for the weak. Does such a perfect person really exist in reality? Kou Zhiyuan was numb. How did he manage this? ¡°By the way, is there anyone who has a conflict with him? It¡¯s impossible for him not to offend people when he does business. It¡¯s fine to buy materials from them. Give him any amount of money!¡± Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s desire to win was aroused. He began to ignore the cost and insisted on finding dirt on Luo Feng. ¡°There is. There was a senior who¡¯s competing with Luo Feng for the milk tea industry. He¡¯s a powerful investor and disdains to participate in the entertainment industry¡­ There¡¯s also a very powerful mission. Luo Feng once embarrassed him and caused him to lose nearly 100 million.¡± ¡°Alright! Him!¡± Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Find this person!¡± Chapter 340 - 340 Jumping Over To The New World! 340 Jumping Over To The New World! Every cell in Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s body seemed to have discovered a treasure when he heard that a powerful person had a relationship with Luo Feng. However, the assistant was the opposite of him. He was not very excited and was even a little helpless. ¡°There¡¯s no need to look for him. This person is the CEO of Amazon, Bezos. He¡¯s in a cooperative relationship with Luo Feng now.¡± The assistant was like an emotionless recital machine. ¡°Last time, Bezos was involved in the live broadcast¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! How could I have forgotten about this!¡± Kou Zhiyuan pounded the table angrily. In the end, they still had to rely on the financial support of the capital. Luo Feng directly worked with the capital. How could this f*cking compare! ¡°Isn¡¯t there anything more!¡± Kou Zhiyuan gritted his teeth. He neither wanted to believe nor could he believe that Luo Feng was really so perfect and outstanding. They had to roll in the mud a few times to achieve their current achievements! ¡°There¡¯s really nothing more!¡± The assistant said weakly. ¡°We even found a social account that Luo Feng no longer uses. It¡¯s either to share his life or express his love for his girlfriend. It¡¯s worthless¡­¡± Benson, who was squatting at the door, could not help but gasp when he heard this. Morris¡¯ intelligence-gathering ability exceeded his imagination. He was just short of digging up Luo Feng¡¯s ancestral grave! It would be a waste of his talent to stay in an entertainment company. It would be a pity not to be an information vendor. However, the person Benson was most surprised about was Luo Feng. In just a few years, he had completed an achievement that others could not do in their entire lives. Moreover, there was no dirt left behind. Unbelievable! With such a perfect boss, why should he worry and be a spy? Working under Luo Feng was not only free, but it could also realize his ambitions. Why hadn¡¯t he grabbed the olive branch that Luo Feng had extended previously! Benson ran into the corridor and immediately called Luo Feng, wanting to pick up the olive branch himself. ¡°Hello, Boss Luo,¡± Benson said softly, unable to hide the smile in his tone. ¡°Benson? Did they take any action again?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. They investigated your family background and discovered your glorious past. When I heard it, my admiration for you was like a surging river that stretched endlessly. It was like the Yellow River overflowing and could not be stopped. I admire you so much!¡± Benson bragged. Luo Feng was stunned. ¡°Ah¡­ Thank you for your praise¡­¡± Luo Feng did not know what he wanted to express and replied politely. Benson licked his lips and smiled. ¡°I was accidentally caught eavesdropping just now. Now, they¡¯re going to fire me¡­ Does the matter of you asking me to join Innovative Artist still count?¡± Luo Feng understood. He wanted to jump ship. ¡°Of course it counts. Coincidentally, Old Yang has been too busy recently. You¡¯re a big help.¡± ¡°Thank you, Boss Luo. Ah no! Boss! I¡¯ll resign immediately and separate myself from the previous company!¡± Benson was overjoyed and ran back to his office. The colleagues at the table beside him were overwrought and scratched their heads in frustration. When they heard that Benson was still in the mood to hum a tune, they were even more furious. ¡°The entire company is crazy busy, but you¡¯re so free!¡± His colleague mocked. ¡°That¡¯s right. You don¡¯t have any artistes in your hands, so you don¡¯t have to clean up the mess. I really envy an idler like you.¡± The artists under the company were also implicated because of the negative news about the company. Many fans were worried that their artists would also be oppressed by the company and join the crusade, revealing the inside information they knew. In order not to make things worse for the public opinion, the artistes and managers had to stabilize the fans¡¯ emotions and let them speak up for them. The entire company was under immense pressure. His colleagues usually flaunted how outstanding the artists they led were, wishing they could read out the activities they participated in every day one by one. Compared to Benson, who had nothing to do, he felt infinitely superior. Now that he saw that Ben was not under any pressure, his colleague felt unbalanced again and kept mocking Benson. In the past, Benson could only listen obediently because even though the other party¡¯s words were unpleasant, they were the truth. He could not find a reason to refute. But it was different now. Listening to his colleague¡¯s non-stop chatter, Benson said, ¡°Those who are capable will work harder. I hope you work overtime until four in the morning.¡± The colleague did not expect Benson to dare to retort and was stunned. Benson retorted, ¡°Your artiste was tricked by you into crawling all over the beds of various directors to have her current achievements. What glorious thing do you think it is? You actually have the cheek to tell everyone. I really feel that it¡¯s not worth it for her.¡± ¡°Shut up! What do you know about being a burden!¡± The colleague looked like he had been slapped, and his face turned red. ¡°You¡¯ve put in so much effort, but you¡¯re only a little better than me, who¡¯s at the bottom. Now that I¡¯m going to resign, I¡¯ll leave the burden to you. I wish you success.¡± Benson was relaxed and did not have any scruples when arguing. One word: Awesome! When the other colleagues heard this news, they all looked at Benson. ¡°You¡¯re resigning? You¡¯re abandoning the company at such a critical moment?¡± ¡°You¡¯re too disloyal. Everyone is still fighting, but you gave up halfway.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. Why do you have to say it with such fanfare to disturb people¡¯s hearts?¡± The colleagues spoke one after another, using their mocking skills. They usually bullied Benson for not having any results, but they did not forget to step on him again in the end. Benson did not know if their declaration of loyalty was sincere or fake. But it did not matter. He did not care about everything here, including these mean colleagues. ¡°You¡¯re loyal to the company. Then continue to work overtime late at night for free.¡± Benson tidied up his desk and smiled. ¡°Remember to go for a physical examination on time. Otherwise, the company won¡¯t pay for your sudden death.¡± ¡°How can you say that! What are you talking about! I¡¯ll tell supervisor Kou immediately!¡± Benson did not care at all when he heard his colleagues criticizing him. He printed out the resignation letter that he had long written and signed it. He slapped it on the personnel table and swaggered out of the company, leaving his colleagues with only a carefree back view. It would be a lie to say that he was not swayed. Benson¡¯s words pierced his colleague¡¯s heart. They also hated working overtime for free and hated the company¡¯s bottomless exploitation. However, they had no choice. It was already very difficult to enter Morris. Leaving this place was equivalent to a Class demotion. There was no better place. ¡°He¡¯ll definitely regret it! Just wait for him to work for nothing in a small company!¡± His colleague sneered. In their understanding, what awaited Benson would only be a tragic ending! However, what they did not know was that after Benson left, he seamlessly worked as an agent for Innovative Artist. Luo Feng called him to Yang Tianzhen¡¯s studio. The first thing was to let him rest for a day to adjust his state. ¡°You should have rested for three days if it weren¡¯t for the fact that it¡¯s too busy here.¡± In Yang Tianzhen¡¯s office, Luo Feng poured tea for Benson. ¡°I¡¯ll make it up to you in the future. Anyway, let¡¯s talk about your salary first. What are your expectations of your salary?¡± Chapter 341 - 341 An Unexpected Invitation 341 An Unexpected Invitation Benson sat on the sofa in the studio with his hands on his lap. He was excited and nostalgic, and his body wanted to sway uncontrollably. From time to time, he would turn his head to look around. The familiar place was still the same as in his memory. It was very reassuring. ¡°The salary of the newcomers here is about 15,000 yuan. In the future, if you lead your own artistes, you will get a commission. The details are written in the contract. Take a look first.¡± Luo Feng took out the contract that he had prepared long ago. ¡°There¡¯s no need to look. I¡¯ll listen to the company¡¯s arrangements.¡± Benson did not even look at it and was very happy to sign his name at the end. For such a long time, he had never heard of Luo Feng¡¯s exciting resume. Such a generous and highly respected boss would not cheat him at all. Moreover, the salary of the Innovative Artist Company was much higher than the average salary in the industry. There was no need to take a closer look. ¡°Let¡¯s take a look. You know that managers work harder and rarely take leave.¡± Luo Feng pushed the contract to Benson with the intention of being responsible to his employees. ¡°There¡¯s no need, Boss. You might not know how great you are in my heart. Just suspecting you is offensive, so there¡¯s no need to look.¡± Benson was very confident. ¡°Huh? Even though I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about¡­¡± Luo Feng respected all the employees¡¯ decisions.¡± Alright, start your leave. ¡± ¡°No! Please let me go to work!¡± Benson was not here to slack off. He was here to fulfill his ambition¡ªto bring Superstars out! Therefore, he did not need to rest. He needed to work immediately to prove his value and gain the boss¡¯s trust! ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Manager Yang is troubled by the invitation letter? I¡¯ll go and help immediately!¡± Benson recommended himself. Luo Feng thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. When he received Benson¡¯s call just now, he guessed that he was probably preparing to come over to work, so Luo Feng drove from the farmyard to Yang Tianzhen¡¯s studio. The moment he saw Yang Tianzhen, he was shocked. Her head had become bald, and Yang Tianzhen was still scratching it non-stop. It seemed that the matter of finding an invitation to socialize was not going well. Luo Feng raised his chin and gestured for Yang Tianzhen to stay in the office. Benson ran in excitedly. Luo Feng sat alone on the sofa in the hall and farmed his phone. Xiao Chun and the others¡¯ revelations were layered on top of each other. Every time the popularity went down, someone would come up to expose them. The hot search for [Morris Trapping Trainees] had been at the top for almost five hours, but it was still as popular as ever. More and more people were paying attention to this matter. In addition, various marketing accounts took this opportunity to release some of the news they had gathered in the past. This public opinion finally became more and more popular. Morris was probably worried to death. ¡°Ah! What should I do?!¡± Yang Tianzhen¡¯s scream came from the office. It seemed like she was on the verge of breaking down. Luo Feng stood up and wanted to take a look. Before he could take a few steps, the phone on the table rang. ¡°Mr. Bezos, what¡¯s going on?¡± Luo Feng picked up the phone. It was a new year, but Bezos had actually taken the initiative to call him. ¡°Boss Luo, I got an invitation to the Star Gathering Party, but I don¡¯t have time to go overseas for an inspection. I¡¯ve already gotten someone to send it to you,¡± Bezos said quickly. ¡°Why are you giving it to me?¡± Luo Feng was still a little confused. The invitation that Yang Tianzhen could not find with all her might was delivered to her door so easily? ¡°You¡¯re pretending again. We¡¯re in a cooperative relationship after all. Of course, I¡¯m giving it to you.¡± Bezos hung up the phone inexplicably. Knock, knock- Speak of the devil. Just as he put down the phone, the delivery man appeared at the entrance of the studio with a small box in his hand. ¡°Are you Mr. Luo Feng? Here¡¯s a package from your city. Please sign for it.¡± The young man revealed his white teeth and smiled brightly. ¡°Thank you. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Luo Feng received the package and opened it. Inside the box were exquisite invitations with pink edges and black background. Beside them were two exquisite macarons. He still felt a little unreal. He took out the shipping list and looked at it. It was indeed sent from the Amazon Shanghai branch. He did not even open the box and directly sent it to Luo Feng. ¡°Ah! Boss, I¡¯ve let you down!¡± Yang Tianzhen ran out of the office and hugged Luo Feng¡¯s thigh. ¡°I¡¯m too useless. I can¡¯t even get an invitation. Fire me!¡± Luo Feng helped him up and said, ¡°Where¡¯s Benson? Didn¡¯t he go in to help you?¡± ¡°Boss¡­¡± Benson¡¯s submissive voice came from the office. It was completely different from the smugness he had when he entered. He stood by the door, half-exposed and half-hidden. His voice was much softer. ¡°Those people blocked me. I can¡¯t help.¡± On his first day at work, he had failed to live up to his boss¡¯s expectations. He was too ashamed to face anyone. Luo Feng took out the macaroons from the box and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t be so depressed. Eat something sweet to change your mood first.¡± It was just enough for the two of them to share. They were so touched that they were about to cry looking at the cute macaroons in their hands. They kept sniffing. Yang Tianzhen could not even bear to eat it. He wanted to take it back and worship it. He thought that as long as he saw these macaroons in the future, he would remember Luo Feng¡¯s tolerance and she would work hard. ¡°It¡¯s so sweet!¡± Benson bit off half of it. The taste was so sweet that he couldn¡¯t help but tremble. ¡°So this is what macaroons taste like.¡± ¡°By the way, Boss, when did you buy it?¡± Yang Tianzhen couldn¡¯t bear to eat it and kept holding it in her hand. ¡°I didn¡¯t buy it. It was sent over with the invitation letter.¡± Luo Feng dug out the invitation letter from the box and said, ¡°I really wanted to tell you just now that the matter of the invitation letter has been resolved. You can stop worrying.¡± The two of them rubbed their eyes at the same time. They looked at each other in disbelief and rubbed their eyes again. ¡°Boss, how did you get it?¡± Benson asked in surprise. ¡°Bezos sent it just now. He said that he was busy and didn¡¯t have time to attend, so he asked us, as partners, to go. I just got it. You guys¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, the two of them knelt down with a plop and hugged Luo Feng¡¯s thigh again. ¡°Oh my god, Boss, why are you so awesome!¡± Yang Tianzhen was so excited that she cried. ¡°Thank you, Boss. Boohoo!¡± ¡°Boss, just order me around in the future. Don¡¯t stand on ceremony, Boss!¡± Benson looked happy. Not only was Luo Feng outstanding, his network was also so impressive! The CEO of Amazon Group took the initiative to send an invitation to ask who was so glorious! They even went around asking for help through their connections. It turned out that someone had already prepared an invitation for Luo Feng. ¡°Get up quickly. Why are you kneeling down again?¡± Luo Feng was caught between laughter and tears. He was still holding the invitation letter in his hand as he helped the two of them up in a hurry. ¡°Anyway, this matter has been resolved. Benson, you¡­¡± ¡°Boss, what can I do for you?¡± Benson was full of anticipation. Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ve just joined the company. Take three days off first. This is our company¡¯s tradition.¡± Chapter 342 - 342 The Advantage Of The Public Opinion Battle, Everyone Is Protecting You! 342 The Advantage Of The Public Opinion Battle, Everyone Is Protecting You! In the end, Benson did not take a break under his own insistence. Instead, under Yang Tianzhen¡¯s lead, he started working as a manager. It was fate that brought them together. Coincidentally, Huixin still lacked some experience so Benson took care of her. After settling the matter of the invitation letter, the three of them returned to the farmyard. Before they entered the courtyard, they saw the staff sitting in a circle like a bonfire party. Everyone was holding their phones and their fingers were moving rapidly on the keyboard, as if they were pulling the trigger. ¡°What are you guys doing? Why aren¡¯t you working?¡± Luo Feng walked behind Screenwriter Hong, wanting to see what they were watching. ¡°Boss? Why are you back so soon?!¡± Everyone was shocked and hurriedly hid their phones behind their backs. Xiaochun stood up with a smile. When she saw Yang Tianzhen and Benson behind Luo Feng, she immediately found someone to change the topic. ¡°We¡¯re just taking a break for the time being. Didn¡¯t you say that you had something to do at the studio? Has the invitation been settled?¡± ¡°It¡¯s settled.¡± Yang Tianzhen nodded. ¡°Someone gifted the boss one invitation.¡± ¡°¡­Gifted?¡± Xiaochun was so shocked that she almost cried out. Everyone knew that the Star Gathering Party was filled with celebrities and that the big shots of the business world would also participate. However, it was a great opportunity to build relationships and expand their connections. Everyone had racked their brains to enter, but there were actually people who took the initiative to give up their spots! ¡°Who sent it?¡± Hui Xin was stunned. Yang Tianzhen¡¯s face was filled with pride as she ran to Luo Feng¡¯s side and said, ¡°Our boss has a wide network. Before he could even say anything, Mr. Bezos took the initiative to send it over!¡± ¡°Wow!¡± The farmyard was filled with ¡°wow¡± sounds. Everyone¡¯s mouths were wide open, enough to fit a boiled egg. At this moment, Luo Feng¡¯s phone rang again, disrupting the silent atmosphere. ¡°Mom? Why did you suddenly call?¡± Luo Feng¡¯s face was filled with questions. ¡°You want me not to appear for the time being? No, what¡¯s wrong? Hello?¡± Mother Luo gave some random instructions before hanging up. Before Luo Feng could figure out what was going on, a second call came in. ¡°Xie Yan, the company¡­ Huh? You want to recruit ghostwriters for work. I didn¡¯t hear about that¡­ Hello?¡± Right on the heels of that, he received a third call. ¡°Professor Ai¡­ No, Grandpa, it¡¯s been a long time. Tingya is doing quite well¡­ No, I¡¯m doing fine too. Nothing happened. Why do you mean by throwing away your dignity? No, what¡¯s wrong¡­¡± Ai Zhaojiang hung up as well. ¡°Lei Jin, how have you been recently? Why did you think of¡­ No, I don¡¯t know. Don¡¯t¡­¡± Just like that, calls came one after another, as if they had discussed it. They were all here to care about Luo Feng¡¯s current situation and let him work in peace and leave the rest to them. The more Luo Feng listened, the more confused he became. The continuous calls made him not have the time to think carefully. Xiao Chun and the others could not find a gap to interrupt even if they wanted to. Finally, his phone stopped ringing after receiving the 16th call. Luo Feng swallowed his dry throat. ¡°I¡¯ve never received so many greeting calls during the New Year. What¡¯s going on?¡± Then, he heard a rustling sound behind him. Xiaochun and the others were covering their mouths and laughing non-stop. ¡°Hahaha! So we were worried for nothing. So many people are on the boss¡¯s side.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s work, let¡¯s work. There¡¯s someone in charge of the anti-fans.¡± ¡°As expected of our boss. I admire you more and more!¡± Everyone put down their phones and said something that Luo Feng did not understand. Tang Jin took the initiative to walk to Luo Feng¡¯s side and smiled. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be puzzled. Everyone wants to protect you.¡± ¡°Protect me?¡± Luo Feng did not understand. ¡°Protect me from what?¡± Tang Jin took out her phone and scrolled through today¡¯s trending topics. ¡°Someone suddenly posted dirt on you on the Internet just now, so we wanted to help you clarify and not be led astray by someone with ulterior motives. Those calls just now must have been seen by your family and friends.¡± She refreshed it twice, and the scolding comments immediately became clarification. The black and white sides seemed to be in a tug-of-war. With a casual refresh, there were new comments. Some attacked Luo Feng, while others defended him. At the same time, in a place where Luo Feng could not see, many people began to join this online battle. Good Me Milk Tea Company. ¡°Damn it, what do they know about Luo Feng! They actually said that about him online! They can¡¯t be forgiven!¡± Ai Tingya slacked off. She turned on her computer and used her god-like hand speed to refute netizens who were scolding her one after another. ¡°Boss Luo usually treats us well. We can¡¯t let anyone slander him! Kill them!¡± Everyone in the company had a common enemy and took the initiative to work overtime to protect Luo Feng¡¯s innocence. Gather Sift Takeaway. Xie Yan was guarding three computers. In the operating room, the sound of typing on the keyboard was like a machine gun. ¡°It¡¯s not enough, it¡¯s not enough. The other party has more ghostwriters than us, even more!¡± Xie Yan stretched his muscles and bones, then went back online right on the heels of that. He would never allow anyone to slander his confidant! On the street. Five or six o¡¯clock was the peak time for ordering takeout. The delivery man¡¯s food boxes were filled to the brim. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m already at the entrance of your neighborhood. You¡¯ll be coming down soon, right? Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Michael hung up. While he was waiting, he sent the previous editor¡¯s reply. ¡°You¡¯re lucky. I¡¯m too busy to care about you now. When I¡¯m free¡­ What? You¡¯re scolding our President Luo again? I can¡¯t tolerate it!¡± Michael hugged his phone and gritted his teeth as he scolded the netizens on the other side of the Internet. When passersby saw his terrifying expression, they were so frightened that they took a detour. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with today? I saw many Gather Sift Takeaways playing with their phones during the delivery.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s probably a lucky draw.¡± The passersby left quickly, afraid that the agitated delivery man would hear them. Oxford University. ¡°Senior Luo Feng is our role model. We definitely won¡¯t allow anyone who speaks nonsense to do whatever they want. Students, attack!¡± In a certain rental house. Lei Jin drank a refreshing drink and fought 300 rounds with the netizens who were spreading rumors. ¡°Brother, I skipped work today. Remember to treat me to a meal.¡± ¡­ The seemingly peaceful night was filled with verbal sparring on the Internet. Kou Zhiyuan saw that the discussions about Luo Feng had changed drastically on the Internet. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him from head to toe. He was so cold that his entire body was trembling. ¡°Why are there so many replies speaking up for Luo Feng? Where are our people? Spread them out!¡± The assistant stood in the corner of the office, looking down and pretending to be an ornament. If they were not wrong, they had not only been defeated this time. They had an utter defeat. ¡­ In a small farmhouse courtyard. Luo Feng looked at the comments on the Internet that spoke up for him. Many of them had specific merits. It was obvious that they were real people replying. To be honest, it was impossible not to be touched by so many people speaking up for him. ¡°Boss, you¡¯re really popular!¡± Tang Jin was envious. ¡°That¡¯s right, even I didn¡¯t expect it.¡± Luo Feng touched his nose, embarrassed about his merits. ¡°Speaking of which, what dirt did you expose about me?¡± Tang Jin said indignantly, ¡°The higher-ups said that you took the opportunity to use the title of the top scorer of the college entrance examination to threaten the television station to advertise and not pay the advertisement fee! It¡¯s simply an insult to your character!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luo Feng did not reply. He had indeed done this before even though there was a deviation in the merits of the revelation¡­ Chapter 343 - 343 Wheres Your Ambition? Show It! 343 Where¡¯s Your Ambition? Show It! Kou Zhiyuan might not have expected that they would incur the wrath of the public by releasing some dirt on Luo Feng. He had originally bought fake reviewers to use them to stir up Luo Feng¡¯s scandals and divert the netizens¡¯ attention, minimizing the negative impact on Morris. Unexpectedly, many people were clarifying for Luo Feng and telling him all the good things they had come into contact with. ¡°I¡¯m the delivery man of Gather Sift Takeaway. I¡¯ve once received a year-end bonus from my boss. The cash is as thick as bricks. I¡¯ve never seen a boss who gives benefits to his employees in real money or silver.¡± ¡°Back then, the television station took the initiative to interview him. Luo Feng casually mentioned the milk tea shop. Moreover, that was opened by the orphanage. It was a public service advertisement.¡± ¡°Boss Luo is really a good person. He doesn¡¯t put on any airs at all. He¡¯s also smiling when I snatch his snacks.¡± ¡°Please take a look at Luo Feng¡¯s resume. He will definitely scare you.¡± Not only did the netizens speak up for him, many official accounts also supported Luo Feng, especially those related to mathematics. ¡°Mr. Luo Feng has made a name for himself in the field of mathematics. We believe in his character.¡± ¡°I met him once at an academic conference. He was a humble and polite young man.¡± Morris¡¯ ghost writers were no match for him. Under the trending topics, Luo Feng¡¯s merits and results were listed. There were more than ten different things. Kou Zhiyuan did not expect this at all. He originally wanted to slander Luo Feng, but he did not expect it to become positive publicity. Many netizens who did not know the truth looked at Luo Feng¡¯s glorious resume and understood it slightly. They were so fascinated that they could not extricate themselves. ¡°No one told me that this Mathematics Master is so handsome!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with advertising the milk tea shop in the orphanage? Some people like to make a mountain out of a molehill and want the world to be in chaos. Don¡¯t tell me they exposed it to the public.¡± ¡°So he was sponsoring the orphanage when he was studying. How could anyone have the heart to slander him?¡± ¡°With a little understanding, we will know that Luo Feng is a good young man of the new era and a role model for us to learn from!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not some ¡®ABC¡¯ Entertainment Company. They only exposed this because they couldn¡¯t find any dirt.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re right. I think it¡¯s Morris too!¡± Amidst the praises, there were replies that suspected the identity of the informant. This was not a wild guess, but Xiaochun and the others did it on purpose. They directly returned the dirty water to Morris. The ¡°Morris Overlord Clause¡± was once again at the top of the trending list. Kou Zhiyuan felt numb all over. After working hard for half a day, not only did he not reduce the negative public opinion, but he also made things worse. He even elevated the boss of the other party to the altar! Ever since he stepped into society, he had never made such a loss! ¡°Supervisor Kou, we can¡¯t offend the public. Let¡¯s make a statement as soon as possible,¡± the assistant reminded. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to remind me! Send it! Hurry up and send it!¡± Kou Zhiyuan was so flustered that he could not find his direction. This time, the public opinion had a huge impact on Morris. Not only did it affect the trainees who were still in the company, but it also affected their public image! ¡°D*mmit!¡± Kou Zhiyuan pounded his desk. Seeing this, the assistant knew that everything was already set in stone. He could only follow the established procedures¡ªthe company would issue a statement and wait for time to dilute the attention of the netizens. Originally, diverting attention was a very effective method, but they had chosen the wrong target. The assistant placed a hand on the door handle and turned around to ask, ¡°Supervisor Kou, we still have dirt on celebrities from other management companies. Look¡­¡± ¡°No!¡± Kou Zhiyuan immediately denied it. ¡°If this news gets out at this time, it¡¯s equivalent to writing our names directly. And it¡¯s going to be the Star Gathering Party soon. It¡¯s inevitable that we¡¯ll face each other¡­¡± ¡°Understood.¡± The assistant sighed. He didn¡¯t know what he was busy with. ¡°That¡¯s right! Star Gathering Party!¡± Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s anger turned into a smile. ¡°We can also donate at the Star Gathering Party to salvage our reputation!¡± ¡°Good idea!¡± The assistant agreed wholeheartedly. Currently, the overlord clause that netizens were hotly discussing pointed to the company using contracts to squeeze ordinary people. It was too ugly to eat. However, if they donated in the company¡¯s name at a public service gala, the rumors of their ability being ugly to eat would earn them a favorable impression! ¡°I¡¯ll write a proposal immediately and submit it to the higher-ups for approval!¡± With that, the assistant ran out of the office excitedly. Kou Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief and knocked on the table lightly, making a crisp sound. They were almost dragged into the pit. Their merits made up for their mistakes, so the higher-ups could not say anything. ¡­ Farmer¡¯s courtyard. Luo Feng¡¯s phone was placed on the coffee table. News kept coming in, emitting a buzzing sound. Because it was too frequent, it was as if a lost bee was flapping its wings in the room. Luo Feng, on the other hand, hid and brewed tea in the small pavilion. Opposite him sat Benson and Yang Tianzhen. ¡°Xiaochun and the others went to film a video. We can talk about the company¡¯s future development path,¡± Luo Feng said as he poured a cup of tea for the two of them. ¡°Currently, Xiaochun and Xiaojin¡¯s IP is very popular. Bring the two of them to the Star Gathering Party to further increase their popularity. In the future, let the old guide the new and nurture more internet celebrities.¡± Yang Tianzhen shared his opinion. ¡°Old Yang is right!¡± Luo Feng nodded. Benson continued, ¡°On my side, I¡¯ll see a new team that¡¯s in charge of operating Huixin¡¯s account. We can take on some small advertisements and put them in the video to increase our income.¡± Internet celebrities¡¯ economies were nothing more than future live broadcasts. This was the fastest way to earn money, but it was difficult to last long. ¡°Speaking of which, why are you both talking about the development of internet celebrities?¡± Luo Feng interrupted the two of them. ¡°We¡¯re an internet celebrity company. Of course, our main business is to nurture internet celebrities,¡± Benson said. Previously, he had seen the huge potential of internet celebrities and the good development form. He had been suggesting to the higher-ups of Morris that he could expand his second business. The Morris executives were not interested in this. Kou Zhiyuan knew that Benson and Yang Tianzhen were old acquaintances and wanted to marginalize him. This made Benson long have the thought of leaving. ¡°The two of you, is this all you want?¡± Luo Feng revealed an incredulous expression. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to bring your artiste up the highest honor podium step by step and become a manager legend?¡± The two of them looked excited. ¡°Of course I do!¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s begin. From now on, our company will start recruiting idol trainees!¡± Luo Feng spread his arms as if he was embracing the country he would conquer in the future. ¡°The rules of Morris¡¯ trainees are very useful, and so are we. However, we have an even crueler competitive relationship here!¡± Yang Tianzhen was born to be like this. Her sharp sense of smell immediately detected Luo Feng¡¯s intentions. ¡°Boss, could it be that you want to¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯m planning a cruel but hard-working growth variety show. I¡¯ll choose the best idol to be the company¡¯s first support!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s words were full of strength and inspiring. Yang Tianzhen and Benson couldn¡¯t contain their excitement. Their hands were trembling with excitement. ¡°Boss, please enlighten me!¡± Chapter 344 - 344 Preparation For The Latest Talent Show Program In The Country! 344 Preparation For The Latest Talent Show Program In The Country! ¡°I¡¯ll only do the start. You should know better than me what to do,¡± Luo Feng said. Judging from the potential value he could see, Yang Tianzhen was naturally very talented. It was the truth. He had already brought up a famous movie queen in the country. If it weren¡¯t for Morris¡¯ intention to take him down, this glorious achievement could have continued. Benson was inferior to Yang Tianzhen, but it did not matter. He had great potential amongst normal managers. These two people had a keen nose and decisiveness when it came to entertainment. Luo Feng only needed to start. As for the subsequent implementation, he could leave it to the two of them. ¡°I believe that even though Morris has no intention of sharing resources with trainees like Huixin and the others, their lives as trainees can¡¯t be fake. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have deceived so many people,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°Yes.¡± Yang Tianzhen nodded. ¡°Second-rate trainees can become reserves for their debut through outstanding performance, so their instructors rarely do things half-heartedly. The trainees are also very serious about learning.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this a ready-made competitor?¡± Luo Feng smiled. In his previous life, he had lived a miserable life. He was troubled about starting a business every day and rarely had time to rest, let alone entertain himself. However, he had still heard a little about the trend brought by Country K next door. He remembered that for a period of time, younger girls were listening to K Nation¡¯s songs and watching K Nation¡¯s television dramas. All kinds of boy bands and girl groups were sprouting like bamboo shoots after the rain. The powerful K Nation trend swept the world and dealt a certain blow to the trends of various countries. Later on, the entertainment market was slightly saved when their country implemented the ¡°Limit K Order¡± to reduce the publicity of K Country¡¯s artists and their activities in their country. It was the peak of K Nation¡¯s culture. Luo Feng wanted to use this opportunity to promote his country¡¯s entertainment culture! ¡°Think about it. The trainees from Morris have outstanding looks and are good at singing and dancing. It will definitely be difficult for us to choose ourselves. Why don¡¯t we give this opportunity to the audience and let them choose the contestant they like?¡± Luo Feng said. He remembered that a few years ago, there was a variety show in the country to select singers. It used the excuse of ¡°a commoner¡¯s dream of becoming a celebrity¡± and let normal audiences choose the contestants they admired. It was widely praised after it was launched. In the past two years, due to the audience¡¯s aesthetic fatigue, the attention for the next few rounds had decreased greatly. Luo Feng wanted to use his senior¡¯s influence to start another talent show frenzy! ¡°Most of the trainees who left this time are girls. In that case, let them compete for five spots in the female team.¡± Luo Feng dipped his tea into it and wrote down his thoughts on the table. The selection process was the process of gaining attention. These trainees all had the dream of becoming celebrities. What they lacked was a stage! Clap, clap, clap¡ª Clap, clap, clap¡ª ¡°I see!¡± Yang Tianzhen was enlightened. She felt that Luo Feng¡¯s idea was ingenious. After all, the training this time was basically for the sake of joining the Innovative Artists. However, there were too many people, and there were only two managers for the time being. They could not take care of them at all. Yang Tianzhen believed that Luo Feng had the ability to support them, but it was not a long-term solution. He was giving them a stage now to realize their dreams with their strength and earn more attention for the company. There was no better way. Luo Feng continued, ¡°As for me, I¡¯ll participate in the Star Gathering Party with Xiaochun and the others to pull in some investments. You¡¯re in charge of participating in the competition now. Ordinary people can participate too.¡± ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t that unfair? The trainees who leave have at least a year of practice time. Ordinary people definitely can¡¯t compare to them,¡± Benson said worriedly. ¡°They might be criticized and say that Poof is a stepping stone for ordinary people.¡± He was all too familiar with the various tricks of the entertainment industry. As long as there was popularity, there would be jealous people who would start to lead the way. This idea was undoubtedly a knife to someone with ulterior motives. ¡°Not all traveling trainees are qualified to participate.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°Before that, you have to undergo memorization. When you were a student, you were ignorant and incompetent. You don¡¯t have to bully or have bad conduct.¡± ¡°This¡­ If the other party is very outstanding, it shouldn¡¯t matter,¡± Yang Tianzhen said. After all, they were still students. The entertainment industry was not about being a civil servant. It all depended on one¡¯s ability. Yang Tianzhen felt that all children made mistakes. All they had to do was listen to the company. ¡°I can give in to anything else, but I definitely can¡¯t do anything bad!¡± Luo Feng said firmly. He rarely showed an arbitrary attitude towards his employees. This was because he believed in his employees¡¯ judgment and execution. Luo Feng rarely interfered in matters that could be handed over to his employees. This was the only thing that he could not hope for. ¡°Celebrities! Idols! They¡¯re public figures. We have to establish a positive image for the public!¡± Luo Feng was very determined. ¡°If you¡¯re the victims of bullying and see the people who bullied you in the past being glamorous and pursued by fans, creating a perfect persona, how would you feel?!¡± Yang Tianzhen and Benson looked at each other. They chose people who were capable and could ignore even the slightest flaw in their character. The entire industry was like this after all. Luo Feng was too strict in this aspect. Luo Feng knew what they were thinking by looking at their hesitant expressions. He said, ¡°Your lady boss¡¯s wish is for everyone to be happy, but I don¡¯t have such noble morals.¡± ¡°I believe that those who have hurt others should pay the price for their past actions. Moreover, they are not worthy of being a popular celebrity! Or an internet celebrity!¡± ¡°Old Yang, think about it. If you see Kou Zhiyuan giving a speech about love and peace on TV, you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll definitely go to the scene and spit in his face!¡± Yang Tianzhen clenched her fists as if the enemy was right in front of her. Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Look, human pain doesn¡¯t differentiate between big and small. Only you know how painful it was at that time. Therefore, I won¡¯t allow people who have hurt others to appear in the company. You have to memorize it well!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yang Tianzhen and Benson immediately accepted the order. ¡°I promise to complete the mission!¡± ¡°Alright, go quickly.¡± Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction. With a smart and persuasive subordinate, the work went exceptionally smoothly. Yang Tianzhen turned back after taking a few steps. ¡°Boss, you just said that you can let ordinary people register. Isn¡¯t that unfair?¡± ¡°There will also be additional training during the competition. You can be recruited as long as you can persevere,¡± Luo Feng said calmly. ¡°This is a show for the public. Of course, we need to choose contestants from the public.¡± It would be too boring if it was just for celebrity reserve. ¡°Understood, Boss!¡± Yang Tianzhen was extremely excited. ¡°You¡¯re so thoughtful. You¡¯re too suitable to be a national producer!¡± Chapter 345 - 345 The Secret Of Winning A Bet, Knowing Information Beforehand 345 The Secret Of Winning A Bet, Knowing Information Beforehand On the day of the Star Gathering Party, Ai Tingya brought three sets of gowns to the farmyard. Xiaochun and Tang Jin hugged their new clothes and jumped up happily to hug Ai Tingya. They kept rubbing against her like koala bears. ¡°Lady boss, I really love you to death!¡± ¡°This is the most beautiful evening gown I¡¯ve ever seen. Boss, you¡¯re too good to us.¡± The two of them hugged each other and refused to let go. Ai Tingya stroked their heads helplessly. ¡°I have a younger sister who¡¯s studying in a design school. I wanted to help you borrow a set from a big brand, but I thought that since this is your first time attending a gala, it¡¯s better to keep a low profile. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± Luo Feng also knew this sister of hers. She was a child from an orphanage. After saving up enough tuition fees at the milk tea shop, she entered the fashion design profession and wanted to be a designer in the future. Xiaochun and Tang Jin¡¯s gowns were the first work of that child. ¡°What an honor! We¡¯re actually the first to try it on!¡± ¡°We definitely have to dress elegantly so that the lady boss¡¯s sister¡¯s work won¡¯t be let down!¡± Xiaochun and Tang Jin had been together for a long time and their thoughts and actions were almost the same. One of them hugged Ai Tingya on the left and the other on the right, not giving anyone any space. Luo Feng could not stand it anymore. How could he not be able to hug his wife? He held one in each hand and liberated Ai Tingya¡¯s side, while he occupied his own. ¡°Tsk, the boss is so petty. We can¡¯t even hug the lady boss!¡± Tang Jin stuck out her tongue and despised Luo Feng¡¯s protective behavior. ¡°Go, go, go. Go and try on your clothes. You have to alter them if they don¡¯t fit.¡± Luo Feng waved his hand. ¡°Hmph, we¡¯ve already given our sizes to the lady boss. It fit perfectly! Boss, you¡¯re the one who needs to try it on!¡± Tang Jin retorted indignantly. ¡°Hehe, your lady boss is very familiar with my measurements.¡± Luo Feng was very proud and had a double meaning. Luo Feng¡¯s words were ambiguous. The others immediately revealed malicious smiles. Ai Tingya covered his mouth. ¡°Time is tight. Don¡¯t bicker here. Just to be safe, you guys go and try first.¡± With her around, Xiaochun and Tang Jin listened to Ai Tingya even more. The status of Luo Feng¡¯s family was obvious after all. ¡°Tingya, look. My status plummeted the moment you came.¡± Luo Feng was amused and a little aggrieved. This group of ingrates. The moment the lady boss arrived, her expression changed. ¡°Little fool, stop fooling around. I have something to ask of you.¡± Ai Tingya pulled Luo Feng over and handed him an envelope covered in a wax seal. It was still pink and looked very serious. Luo Feng was stunned for a second. ¡°Is this¡­ a love letter for me?¡± The two of them had already known each other¡¯s feelings for each other when they were students, so it saved them from these youthful and ignorant fun. Sometimes, Luo Feng felt a little regretful when he thought about it. He did not expect Ai Tingya to still be so shy and cute even though they were already an old married couple. He was so touched that he sniffed. ¡°It¡¯s not for you.¡± Ai Tingya retracted her hand and placed it on Luo Feng¡¯s other hand. ¡°It¡¯s for you to help me pass it to Ottilia. Tell him that her fans have always supported her!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you like Wang Feng?¡± Luo Feng asked in surprise. After I Want to Sing ended, Wang Feng regretfully lost and became the second runner-up in the country. However, there were still many fans who thought that he was more worthy of the championship than Ottilia, including Ai Tingya. ¡°The young ladies in the company asked me to help pass it on.¡± Ai Tingya smiled helplessly. ¡°Of course, I also hope that you can help me send a letter to Wang Feng. Unfortunately, he will not be attending the Star Gathering Party.¡± ¡°Tsk, I thought it was a love letter for me.¡± Luo Feng put away the envelope unhappily. The dream was so beautiful just now. ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re the best.¡± Ai Tingya pinched Luo Feng¡¯s face. ¡°By the way, I have another question for you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll answer if you kiss me.¡± Luo Feng stretched his face over. ¡°Manager Yang and the rest are still watching!¡± Ai Tingya turned around and saw Yang Tianzhen and the rest looking away awkwardly, pretending to look around at the scenery. Hence, she slapped Luo Feng¡¯s face away and said, ¡°Answer properly if I ask you!¡± ¡°Yes, my dear wife!¡± The others listened to the couple being intimate. They wanted to leave but were too embarrassed to leave, so they could only continue listening. Ai Tingya asked, ¡°Wang Feng¡¯s abnormal performance is unexpected, but if he performs at his usual level, will Ottilia still win the championship?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Luo Feng was very sure. ¡°Why?¡± Ai Tingya was very puzzled. ¡°Because Ottilia signed with Morris Entertainment.¡± Ying Shaolong smiled and said, ¡°Morris is one of the sponsors of ¡®I Want to Sing¡¯. No matter how powerful Wang Feng is, he will lose.¡± ¡°Huh? Why is that so?¡± Ai Tingya frowned. She admired Wang Feng¡¯s talent and heard that there was something fishy about it. She felt that it was not worth it for this talented musician. ¡°No wonder Wang Feng¡¯s face darkened in the end.¡± Ai Tingya came to a realization. Especially when the results were announced at the end, Wang Feng kept a straight face and ignored the host and the audience. He did not even want to look at his opponent as he hugged her. Netizens who did not know the inside story mocked Wang Feng for being a sore loser. However, if they looked at it from another angle, Wang Feng had long known that there was a conspiracy and the production team had pressured him to deliberately make a mistake. To people who respected music, this was simply an obvious humiliation. It was reasonable for Wang Feng to not be able to hold it in. ¡°Ha! So you knew all along and deliberately tricked me!¡± Ai Tingya pinched Luo Feng. When she recalled the scene that night, her face could not help but turn red. ¡°Hiss!¡± Luo Feng bared his teeth but could not hide his triumphant smile. ¡°Go ahead and vent. In any case, I¡¯ve had a feast for my eyes.¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s face was as red as a cherry. The two of them laughed and immersed themselves in their own world. Yang Tianzhen and the rest stood at the side with bitter expressions. The Innovative Artist Company was good at everything. The boss and the lady boss were also quite capable, and their tempers and personalities were very good. As a bitter worker, it was very blissful to be able to work under one of them. Everyone present thought so. However, once the two of them gathered together, they were as intimate as primary school students who had just fallen in love. They had a kind of love that disregarded the lives of others and flaunted their affection. ¡°I¡¯ll feel sick of love if it falls on someone else, but if it falls on me, I¡¯ll thank the heavens and the earth!¡± Screenwriter Hong sighed. ¡°Forget it. Don¡¯t you think we¡¯ve had enough dog food?¡± Yang Tianzhen sighed. ¡°But their relationship is really good. I remember that they were already like this when I first met them five years ago. I didn¡¯t expect that after so many years, their relationship would still be the same.¡± How many people could maintain their original ambitions in this impetuous society? It was the same for one¡¯s lover and one¡¯s dreams. ¡°By the way, why aren¡¯t Xiaochun and Tang Jin out yet?¡± Benson looked around and realized that two of them were missing. ¡°They probably don¡¯t want to eat dog food. I understand them,¡± Yang Tianzhen said faintly. Chapter 346 - 346 First Experience On The Red Carpet, Dont Be Nervous 346 First Experience On The Red Carpet, Don¡¯t Be Nervous Shanghai Exhibition Center. The lights were brightly lit, illuminating the venue like a crystal palace. A long red carpet stretched from the door to the main road under the stairs. Countless photographers raised their Spear cannons and waited anxiously for tonight¡¯s guests. A black Bentley stopped at the door. The subtle sound of the brakes was like a slogan. All the cameras were raised at the same time. The car door clicked, and a well-defined beautiful foot in high heels stepped on the stall. ¡°It¡¯s Ottilia!¡± ¡°The champion of ¡®I Want to Sing¡¯, Ottilia!¡± The scene immediately became lively. The shutter sounds were like machine guns, and the flashing lights were like blinking stars, illuminating the dazzling Ottilia. She was wearing a long black dress with a spaghetti strap. Her slightly curly long hair draped over her shoulders, and her aura was fully released. She was confident and ostentatious. As the champion of the new popular variety show, Ottilia¡¯s popularity soared. There were many fans at the venue, waving support sticks and shouting their idol¡¯s name. Ottilia walked up the red carpet with her head held high, enjoying the lights, the camera, and the cheers of countless fans like a proud peacock. The camera moved like a sunflower following the sun, following Ottilia¡¯s figure. Just as Ottilia was enjoying the glory that belonged to her, the light suddenly shifted. ¡°Who¡¯s this?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± The reporters discussed softly. Their attention had long been attracted by the second Ferrari that arrived. Ottilia was displeased. If not for the fact that she could not stay on the red carpet for too long, she would have taken a good look at who had stolen her limelight at the wrong time. Why couldn¡¯t this person come later! ¡°Ottilia, can you give me an autograph?¡± A careful and happy voice sounded. Ottilia glanced sideways and saw a little girl holding up an autograph board and looking at her timidly. She was probably no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and her small body was just squeezing through the gaps between the cameramen. ¡°It¡¯s my honor.¡± Ottilia smiled warmly and took the pen to sign her name. ¡°Thank you for supporting me. There are many people present. Be careful.¡± ¡°Okay! Okay! We will always support you!¡± The fans were overjoyed. She was already very surprised to get an autograph. Worried that she would disturb Ottilia¡¯s work, she prepared to leave. But Ottilia stopped her. ¡°You¡¯re the first fan to ask me for an autograph. This is very memorable to me. Can I know your name? I want to keep this moment in my heart forever!¡± ¡°Re¡­ really?¡± The fans were in disbelief. The idol she was chasing was actually so amiable and knew how to be grateful. She was a true fan more than anyone else. It felt like they were going both ways. The little fan was so excited that she was about to cry. As long as Ottilia wanted to know, she was willing to tell her idol anything! Ottilia¡¯s attention was on the car that had just arrived while she was talking excitedly. At this moment, in the car. Xiaochun and Tang Jin held hands nervously. Looking through the window, there were only round cameras. Their hands were trembling nervously as they gradually reached the same frequency. ¡°Go and walk the red carpet. We¡¯ll meet at the venue.¡± Luo Feng sat in the front passenger seat and turned around to urge the two of them. ¡°Boss, aren¡¯t you coming with us? I¡¯m a little scared.¡± Xiao Chun kept taking deep breaths, but it was useless. ¡°You guys are the protagonists this time. It¡¯s better to try it yourself. I can¡¯t keep accompanying you guys, right?¡± Luo Feng said earnestly. He had no particular interest in being in the limelight. ¡°In short, don¡¯t be afraid. Raise your heads and walk forward. I will always be your strongest backing!¡± Luo Feng gave the two of them a candy each. ¡°Take out your confidence and boldly show your beauty and elegance!¡± In terms of inspiring people, Luo Feng had an unbelievable talent. With sweets in their mouths, the two girls were suddenly filled with strength! ¡°Boss, we won¡¯t disappoint you!¡± Xiao Chun grabbed a corner of the gown. ¡°And the dresses that the lady boss gave us. We¡¯ll definitely make them shine!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you inside!¡± Luo Feng gave them a thumbs up. Even so, after putting Xiao Chun and Tang Jin down, the Ferrari turned a corner and Luo Feng jumped down. Then, he mixed into the cameraman group and silently watched his two internet celebrities. It was just like the old father who had asked his daughter to go to kindergarten for the first time. He wanted to let go, but he was also worried that the two of them would not be able to handle it. ¡°How worrying.¡± Luo Feng sighed. He was only a few steps away from Ottilia. He could clearly see that she was very calm, as if she was already used to being the center of attention. ¡°As expected, it¡¯s time for us to add more etiquette classes,¡± Luo Feng muttered. He had been in a hurry to attend the red carpet this time, and it would be more comprehensive next time. ¡°Best of luck, the two of you.¡± Luo Feng watched the two of them and silently cheered them on. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin had stiff smiles on their faces. They were like two fortune cats, mechanically waving at the surrounding cameras. ¡°Who are they?¡± ¡°They are the most popular internet celebrity sisters in the world. One video has hundreds of thousands of views. Don¡¯t you know?¡± ¡°So it¡¯s so famous. Hurry up and take a photo!¡± Internet celebrities were slightly less famous than celebrities, but because of their good results last time, many people began to notice the new profession that extended from the Internet. Although the camera¡¯s Blink was not as good as Ottilia¡¯s, it was not an awkward silence. It was precisely because of this that Xiaochun and Tang Jin calmed down a little and waved as they walked in. As the two of them passed Ottilia, Tang Jin stole a glance at her. She happened to meet Ottilia¡¯s gaze and immediately looked away. She admired Ottilia because she also watched ¡°I Want to Sing¡±. To Tang Jin, who was still a university student, being able to stand on the same platform as her favorite singer was like a dream! ¡°I¡¯m so nervous, standing so close to Ottilia,¡± Tang Jin muttered softly. If it weren¡¯t for the camera, she would have gone to Ottilia for an autograph. Coincidentally, their gazes met again. Tang Jin was slightly stunned seeing Ottilia¡¯s disgusted expression hidden in the dark. Ottilia glared at Tang Jin, her disgust and frustration written plainly in her eyes. If a big shot stole her limelight, she would have nothing to say but to be stolen by these two nameless internet celebrities was really humiliating. ¡°If only I had come earlier,¡± Ottilia muttered to herself regretfully. ¡°This way, everyone can pay more attention to me¡­¡± The shutter was very loud, and Ottilia¡¯s voice was just loud enough for the little fans to hear. ¡°Who are they?! How dare they snatch the camera that belongs to Ottilia!¡± The little fan immediately wanted to stand up for her idol. Ottilia¡¯s lips curled up. This was exactly the effect she wanted. She revealed a regretful smile and said, ¡°I wanted to talk to you more, but I have to enter now. Be careful.¡± Chapter 347 - 347 Awkward Party Experience, Ill Protect You 347 Awkward Party Experience, I¡¯ll Protect You Ottilia¡¯s words reached the ears of the little fans. In other words, these two internet celebrities had interrupted the interaction of the fans and idols. The little fan was young and was at the age where she was most easily instigated. In addition, it was easy for fans who did not know what was going on to treat everyone who appeared on this red carpet as the enemy of their idol in the entertainment industry. Ottilia was a singer, Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were internet celebrities, the three of them did not seem to have overlapping jobs at first glance but the small fans still felt that the internet celebrities were blocking their idol¡¯s path. Immediately, a surging hostility rose in their hearts as they glared at Xiaochun and Tang Jin. Tang Jin¡¯s face was filled with question marks. First, she was secretly despised by Ottilia, and then she was glared at by Ottilia¡¯s fans. Did she do something wrong? The two of them walked up the last step and left the camera forest. Tang Jin had a bad feeling. ¡°Is there something on my clothes?¡± Tang Jin asked Xiaochun. ¡°No.¡± Xiaochun casually glanced at her. The only things that would get on the red carpet were attention and falling ribbons. These were the best embellishments. Xiaochun was still immersed in the pleasure of being the center of attention. Her cheeks were slightly red, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. ¡°Did we violate the red carpet rules? For example, can¡¯t we walk faster than the previous person?¡± Tang Jin asked worriedly. His worried tone sounded a little disappointing. Xiaochun was puzzled. ¡°There¡¯s no such rule. What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Hearing this, Tang Jin shook her head. ¡°No, maybe I¡¯m thinking too much. Hurry up and go in.¡± Xiao Chun was straightforward and did not think too much about it. The two of them did not notice that there was a pair of resentful eyes glaring at them from behind. The little fans felt that their idol¡¯s back view had become lonely. The perfect first experience on the red carpet had been ruined by these two internet celebrities! It was all their fault! At the thought of this, the little fan couldn¡¯t wait to take out her phone and post what she had just seen and heard in the group. Soon, the group was filled with fans who felt sorry for Ottilia. The little fan lowered her head and typed. She used all the words she knew to describe how pitiful Ottilia was. As she walked out against the crowd, she looked down at her phone. ¡°Ah!¡± The little fan felt like she had hit a wall and staggered back two steps. ¡°Be careful!¡± Luo Feng pulled the little fan back just as she was about to hit the expensive camera. He pulled her forward and pressed her shoulder. ¡°Are you alright?¡± The little fan looked up and realized that it was a super handsome man. She said excitedly, ¡°No¡­ nothing. Thank you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to fall when you¡¯re playing with your phone while walking. Be careful.¡± Luo Feng revealed his signature smile and pointed out a slightly spacious path for his fans. The little fan thanked her profusely and ran away shyly with her phone. The smile on Luo Feng¡¯s face instantly disappeared. When he was helping her up just now, he glanced at the phone screen and saw all kinds of indescribable and vicious words cursing the person walking the red carpet behind Ottilia. ¡°What unexpected malice.¡± Luo Feng sighed. Just now, he was standing nearby and took in this ridiculous development process. Luo Feng walked out of the crowd and entered the exhibition center through the door at the side. In the spacious and bright center, there was a small white round table that was arranged in an orderly manner. On it were dewy lilies surrounded by exquisite tea and cutlery. Entrepreneurs and vendors who did not need to walk the red carpet entered the venue early and chatted with interested people. Everyone looked happy and harmonious. Luo Feng entered through the side door and immediately attracted the waiter¡¯s attention. This was because most business big shots would get off in the parking lot. A large number of guides had been prepared there. The purpose of the entire venue was to never let the guests use their brains. Only one person who entered through the side door was very conspicuous. Worried that an unrelated person had sneaked in, the waiter called out to Luo Feng. ¡°Hello, do you have an invitation?¡± The waiter winked at the security guard beside him. If this person was dishonest, they would immediately invite him outside. They would definitely not allow any commotion to affect the other guests. ¡°Here.¡± Luo Feng casually took out his invitation and looked around for Xiao Chun and Tang Jin. The waiter calmly took the invitation and opened it. When he saw that it was the one sent to Bezos, he immediately became even more respectful. ¡°So it¡¯s the representative of Amazon. Sorry for my rudeness!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Luo Feng retracted the invitation and hurriedly went to look for the people. The attendant did not return to his original position. Instead, he walked to a few people and whispered into their ears about the identity of the young man who had just arrived. Many of the guests present would conduct a simple investigation before attending the gala. Many of them knew that Bezos had something on at the last minute and would send representatives. The attendant was the one who conveyed the information to everyone present, telling them which one was the representative of Amazon. Luo Feng did not know that he had secretly become the target of everyone¡¯s observation. He quickly shuttled through the venue, looking for this familiar figure. Finally, he found two people standing and sitting behind a pillar. Luo Feng wiped the sweat off his forehead. ¡°Phew, I¡¯ve finally found you. Why are you hiding here?¡± Seeing Tang Jin sitting on the ground, he asked, ¡°Why are you sitting on the ground? Did you sprain your ankle?¡± The moment the two of them saw Luo Feng, their eyes turned red. Tang Jin pouted and stood up stubbornly, holding her breath to prevent herself from crying. Xiaochun said aggrievedly, ¡°Boss, we¡¯re really too useless¡­¡± Luo Feng asked in detail what had happened in the past few minutes. Only then did he know that the two of them had walked the red carpet and entered the hall. They were busy trying to blend into the atmosphere, so they mustered their courage to chat with someone. The others were not interested in the two of them. Some of them said a few polite words and left in a hurry, while others directly wrote ¡°I don¡¯t like it¡± on their faces. The confidence that Xiaochun and Tang Jin had painstakingly built up instantly collapsed. The two of them were like clay bowls that had barged into a group of wine glasses. Be it in terms of appearance or confidence, they were incompatible with the gala. They could only hide in a corner dejectedly, hoping that the awkward gala would end quickly. ¡°Idiot.¡± Luo Feng could not help but pat their heads. ¡°I asked you to come here to broaden your horizons. You don¡¯t have to be in a hurry to introduce our company to others.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m really not used to such an occasion.¡± Tang Jin turned around and stole a glance at the venue. The men and women inside were bright and beautiful, as if they had their own flash grenades. They spoke appropriately, had high EQ, and were at ease. Under the layers of halos, Tang Jin, a university student, looked especially like an ugly duckling. ¡°If you¡¯re unhappy, eat something. It should taste good.¡± Luo Feng laughed. ¡°Relax, ladies. I¡¯ll handle the situation. You can do whatever you want.¡± ¡°Boss¡­¡± The two of them were so touched that they wanted to cry. Luo Feng bowed down gentlemanly. ¡°Now, let us go over.¡± Chapter 348 - 348 Live Eating, And With Chairman Xiong 348 Live Eating, And With Chairman Xiong Luo Feng brought his artistes into the venue again. Luo Feng chose a small round table at the edge in order to relieve Xiao Chun and Tang Jin¡¯s nervousness. There was no one around, so the two of them ate tea and relaxed. He saw the two of them holding small and exquisite tea and snacks and looking at them again and again. After a moment of conflict, he finally picked up the small fork and ate it in small bites. Luo Feng felt gratified that the child he had raised finally knew how to eat. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Tang Jin widened her eyes and praised, ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten such delicious snacks. This tastes so special!¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay to eat more.¡± Luo Feng brought two more plates to Tang Jin. Those who were qualified to participate in the Star Gathering Party were all high-end people with picky tastes. Therefore, even if not many people ate these refreshments, they would find a star chef to make them. It could be said to be comprehensive. Most of the people were busy networking. Occasionally, they would take a sip of lemonade. A young lady was eating heartily, so it was inevitable that she would attract attention. Moreover, this little girl was eating so happily that it made one¡¯s appetite increase. Many people who didn¡¯t want to eat refreshments picked up a plate and tasted it. There were already many people who wanted to talk to Luo Feng. Those who hoped to have a relationship with the Amazons were all watching. Perhaps they were chatting with others, but they were looking at Luo Feng from the corner of their eyes. In addition to Tang Jin¡¯s live broadcast, even though the three of them wanted to stay at the edge to avoid everyone¡¯s gaze, they still inevitably attracted the attention of the entire venue. ¡°Boss, why do I feel like many people are looking at us?¡± Xiao Chun had goosebumps all over her body. She lowered her head and asked softly, ¡°Did Xiao Jin disturb them while eating?¡± ¡°Just eat. Food is for people to eat. Don¡¯t care about what others think.¡± Luo Feng was very pragmatic. If they couldn¡¯t finish these refreshments, they would be thrown away. It was shameful to waste food. It was better to let people who knew how to appreciate it, such as Tang Jin, finish them. ¡°Isn¡¯t that too impolite?¡± Xiao Chun was in an uncomfortable situation. She had the self-awareness of a public figure and was very restrained when eating. She knew that this was not a restaurant and it was not suitable for her to eat without listening to the outside world. However, Luo Feng did not care. ¡°In any case, there¡¯s no need to network. It¡¯s really rude to waste food.¡± After saying that, he handed another plate to Xiaochun like a parent who loved to feed. ¡°That¡¯s right, Sister Xiaochun. Since the boss has already said so, we¡¯ll listen to the boss.¡± Tang Jin poured another cup of tea, looking like she was on a spring outing. ¡°Alright!¡± Xiaochun gave up. No one knew who they were anyway. It would be a waste not to eat them! Xiao Chun stuffed two mouthfuls into her mouth. Seeing that Luo Feng was only focused on getting them food, she did not eat a single bite and asked curiously, ¡°Boss, why aren¡¯t you eating? It¡¯s really delicious!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡± Luo Feng shook his head. ¡°Your lady boss said that she made supper for me. I want to keep my stomach for when I go back.¡± ¡°¡­¡± How heartless! Instead of eating refreshments, she had to eat dog food. She might as well eat refreshments! ¡°Damn it, I¡¯ve been flaunted again!¡± Xiaochun fed herself three mouthfuls of delicious food. ¡°I don¡¯t have to ask.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t ask. Just eat in peace.¡± Tang Jin was completely flat. ¡°Even if you want to socialize, it¡¯s the boss. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± It didn¡¯t matter anymore. Since he was already here, he should be more practical. They couldn¡¯t control their interpersonal relationships, but they could still get two plates of refreshments. The three of them focused on their own matters and formed an unrelated barrier with the others. ¡°I thought I saw you. It¡¯s really you, Chairman Luo.¡± A deep voice broke the barrier between the three of them. Luo Feng found it a little familiar. He looked up and saw Chairman Xiong from Zishan Investment Company walking over. He hadn¡¯t seen him since the takeaway subsidy war ended. Thinking about it, it had been two years. Previously, Luo Feng had been studying mathematical problems. The business for the past few years had been handed over to Xie Yan to manage. He only sent some gifts to Chairman Xiong every New Year and had almost no other means of maintaining relationships. Luo Feng was a little surprised to meet him here. He quickly stepped forward and extended his right hand. ¡°Chairman Xiong, long time no see!¡± Chairman Xiong had always thought highly of Luo Feng. Even though the two of them were more than ten years apart in age, he had never treated Luo Feng as a young junior. He joked, ¡°Chairman Luo, you¡¯re so busy every day!¡± ¡°You flatter me.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said to Xiao Chun and Tang Jin, who had already composed themselves, ¡°This is Chairman Xiong from Zishan. These two are artists from my company. By the way, I am now in the¡­¡± ¡°Entertainment industry.¡± Chairman Xiong shook hands with the two of them. ¡°Chairman Luo is really good at challenging yourself. I also heard that you and Mr. Bezos are working together now?¡± In the past few years, he had been paying close attention to Luo Feng¡¯s every move. In Chairman Xiong¡¯s opinion, this young man¡¯s future would be limitless after all! Not only was Shanghai¡¯s business map affected, but it might also affect the entire country! ¡°Yes, I¡¯m really grateful that Mr. Bezos is willing to guide me.¡± Luo Feng was extremely humble. ¡°I¡¯m really grateful that he gave me the opportunity to participate in the gala this time.¡± Chairman Xiong¡¯s lips twitched. This sly fox. ¡°You guys are quite engrossed in your conversation.¡± A middle-aged man with just the right amount of white hair walked over. ¡°Is this Chairman Xiong¡¯s friend? Why don¡¯t you introduce him?¡± ¡°This is¡­¡± Chairman Xiong paused for a moment. According to his investigation, Luo Feng clearly had two companies and had opened an entertainment company. For a moment, he did not know where to start introducing him. He smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let him introduce himself.¡± Luo Feng saw that the middle-aged man was extraordinary. He was dressed meticulously from head to toe. Even his white hair seemed to have been specially dyed. He was really a very particular person. ¡°My name is Luo Feng. I own a small company called Ting Feng,¡± Luo Feng said humbly. ¡°It¡¯s an honor to meet you.¡± The middle-aged man frowned when he heard the name Ting Feng. The confusion in his eyes only flashed for a moment. He smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re all friends of Chairman Xiong. There¡¯s no need to be so distant. Hahaha.¡± He did not continue asking, but Chairman Xiong could not help but secretly ask Luo Feng, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say the titles of Gathering Sift and Good Me?¡± Most people would state their identities in such a situation. If he was too humble, it would make things difficult for others. ¡°Gathering Sift and Good Me are under Ting Feng¡¯s name.¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve already explained.¡± Chairman Xiong nodded. It turned out that he had been negligent. He introduced him as a middleman. ¡°This is Chairman Zhuo from Yida Company.¡± ¡°Hello, Chairman Zhuo.¡± Luo Feng shook his hand humbly again. Chairman Zhuo was not as distant as before. There was a very official smile on his face. Chairman Xiong immediately reminded him, ¡°Luo Feng is the actual controller of Gather Sift Takeaway. I believe I¡¯ve mentioned it to you before.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Chairman Zhuo¡¯s eyes widened visibly, and he immediately put on a friendly smile. ¡°I¡¯ve heard Chairman Xiong mention it before. Seeing is better than hearing!¡± Chapter 349 - 349 Enemies Are Bound to Meet 349 Enemies Are Bound to Meet Luo Feng had heard too many formalities and followed suit. The two sides chatted. Xiaochun and Tang Jin could not wolf down their food anymore seeing that their boss was socializing. They stood at the side like smiling vases to show their manners. ¡°Speaking of which, I haven¡¯t finished a single piece.¡± Xiao Chun stole a glance at the remaining half of the snacks and felt that it was a pity. If she had known earlier, she would have taken a bigger bite. ¡°Hehehe, I¡¯ve already eaten three pieces.¡± Tang Jin secretly made a ¡°Yay¡± gesture. ¡°The taste is really amazing!¡± The two of them secretly savored the taste of the tea and snacks, thinking that they could still eat a few pieces after Luo Feng ended his social gathering. However, reality did not go according to their expectations. When Chairman Xiong and Chairman Zhuo walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on them. When the others in the venue saw that Chairman Zhuo had not only exchanged a few pleasantries with Luo Feng, they knew that this young man was not simple. One by one, they came over to chat and understand Luo Feng¡¯s background. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve met you. Nice to meet you.¡± ¡°Are you two internet celebrities who have been very popular recently? I¡¯ve been watching your videos too.¡± ¡°I heard that Chairman Luo has been developing well recently. If there¡¯s a chance, we¡¯ll definitely cooperate.¡± People kept coming up to talk to them. No matter what they said, Luo Feng could respond with ease. Xiaochun and Tang Jin had no choice but to stop tasting the snacks. The two of them imitated Luo Feng and squeezed out a clumsy smile to chat with the newcomer. Their faces froze from smiling, but there were more and more people. Tang Jin secretly praised her boss while she was dealing with the situation. It turned out that her boss was so valued. Even though he had already hidden in such a remote place, so many people still took the initiative to come over. Then, she recalled the scene where she and Xiaochun ran into a wall everywhere. It was indeed a matter of strength! For a boss like Luo Feng, others would take the initiative to chat with him, but for a small fry like them, no one would care if they took the initiative to talk to them. The two of them were a little discouraged but proud. They would benefit from working with a powerful boss after all. Especially when they saw the people coming over to talk to Luo Feng, they felt a little happy about this turn of events. ¡°They ignored us just now, and now the boss doesn¡¯t have time to care about them.¡± Xiao Chun sniggered. ¡°That¡¯s right. Even though I knew that Boss was powerful, I didn¡¯t know that he had such great influence.¡± Tang Jin felt that she had to get to know Luo Feng again. The center of the entire venue shifted to Luo Feng. There were very few gatherings at a gala, especially one where celebrities gathered. However, too many people wanted to understand Luo Feng¡¯s background. They couldn¡¯t care less about being squeezed together and looking unseemly. They listened to Luo Feng and the big shots seriously. ¡°So Chairman Luo, you¡¯re bringing the newcomers out to see something new this time.¡± Chairman Xiong laughed. ¡°You¡¯re so concerned about your employees. You¡¯re a good boss, hahaha.¡± ¡°This is also my first time attending such a gala. There are still many things I don¡¯t understand that I want to ask Chairman Xiong,¡± Luo Feng said with a smile. ¡°Are you talking about the auction?¡± Chairman Xiong nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Sit next to me later. Ask me directly if you have any questions.¡± The others were slightly dejected. Chairman Xiong was indeed a smart person. In order to see Luo Feng¡¯s strength and style of doing things, he took the position beside Luo Feng in the name of helping. ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank Chairman Xiong for your guidance in advance. Hahaha.¡± Luo Feng laughed. While they were chatting happily, no one noticed that Ottilia had arrived late with Kou Zhiyuan. ¡°Hmph, an Innovative Artist¡¯s little internet celebrity is also qualified to walk the red carpet? The Star Gathering Party has also fallen short.¡± Kou Zhiyuan snorted coldly and put on a black face that looked like someone owed him money. ¡°I¡¯m also very surprised. How are they qualified to attend? Didn¡¯t you¡­¡± Ottilia knew that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth. As a newcomer to Morris, she had heard a lot of things about the company. Everyone had a common interest. Kou Zhiyuan hated Innovative Artists, so of course, she treated him as an enemy. ¡°Shut up if you don¡¯t know how to speak. No one will treat you as a mute!¡± Kou Zhiyuan suppressed his anger and scolded in a low voice. He was more annoyed about this than anyone else. He had already tried to pull some strings to prevent anyone from backing Yang Tianzhen up. After that, he did hear Yang Tianzhen asking for invitations everywhere, but no one responded. Kou Zhiyuan was secretly pleased when he heard the news. He felt that the breath that had been stuck in his chest had been relieved. Unexpectedly, he still saw the face he did not want to see the most in this venue¡ªLuo Feng, the person who had spent money to help Yang Tianzhen out! ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m just curious who gave them the invitation. They really don¡¯t take you seriously!¡± Ottilia was indignant. ¡°Who in this circle is so reckless?¡± Ottilia was not exaggerating. Kou Zhiyuan had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and many big-shot celebrities came from Morris. In the entertainment industry, his words carried a lot of weight. ¡°There are always some people who are not afraid of death. You better not let me find out!¡± Kou Zhiyuan mumbled. Unintentionally, he glanced over and saw a group of guests. At first, he found it a little funny. After all, it was obvious that they were rushing to curry favor with someone. It was really ugly. He took a closer look at the words and could not help but gasp. Chairman Xiong from Zishan Investment? Chairman Zhuo from Yida Investments? And Google¡¯s CEO Eric? It was indeed worth currying favor with this group of business big shots. Just as he was about to follow suit, Ottilia pulled him back and pointed to the middle. ¡°Look, it looks like it¡¯s from the Innovative Artist Company.¡± Kou Zhiyuan looked at the middle suspiciously. When he saw the face of the person in the middle, he froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning. ¡°Hey!¡± Kou Zhiyuan stopped the waiter beside him. ¡°Who is that young man in the middle?¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking about him?¡± The waiter happened to be the one who had asked Luo Feng for the invitation previously and knew more details. ¡°He¡¯s here on behalf of Amazon Corporation. I heard from Chairman Xiong and the others that he seems to be the boss of an entertainment company.¡± Kou Zhiyuan was so angry that his entire body went numb. One of the highlights of the Star Gathering Party was the celebrities who were bursting with popularity. It was a good opportunity for celebrities to promote new songs and dramas or pull in resources. Therefore, under normal circumstances, companies with capital would become the focus of attention, and celebrities or entertainment companies with ulterior motives would become the stars that surrounded the moon. Even if there were really exceptions and all the big shots were interested in the entertainment industry, the one being surrounded should be an established entertainment company like Morris. Kou Zhiyuan should have become the center of attention. He was not the boss of a small company that had only been established for less than a year! Kou Zhiyuan was furious. Why did Luo Feng suddenly have a relationship with Amazon? Furthermore, to be able to give up such an important invitation, it was obvious that Amazon trusted Luo Feng very much. He did not understand how Luo Feng could develop so quickly even if he racked his brains! Chapter 350 - 350 Waiting In Line For Cooperation, You Must Remember! 350 Waiting In Line For Cooperation, You Must Remember! When Kou Zhiyuan found out that Luo Feng had the Amazon as his backing, he had no choice but to reevaluate the threat level of this person. Amazon¡¯s Bezos was famous for being arrogant after all. Ordinary cooperation was not worthy of his attention. Only then did Kou Zhiyuan remember that someone in the company had mentioned to him that the first time he saw Luo Feng help Yang Tianzhen out, Bezos was also present and even supported Luo Feng. However, Kou Zhiyuan did not take it seriously. He thought that Luo Feng would definitely get the cold shoulder. He did not expect that he would really get some benefits! ¡°It was my negligence. I didn¡¯t expect Bezos to give up the invitation.¡± Kou Zhiyuan gritted his teeth. ¡°Go over and listen to what they are saying.¡± Ottilia nodded and immediately bent low, quietly standing at the back of the onlookers. Luo Feng stood in the center of the crowd and became the focus of the conversation. ¡°Speaking of which, Chairman Luo, your artiste is quite special.¡± Chairman Xiong looked at her and found her interesting. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect her performance to attract so many fans. I¡¯m impressed with her judgment!¡± ¡°Different professions are different worlds, Chairman Xiong.¡± A boss who dabbled in entertainment explained, ¡°As long as the audience likes to watch, anything is possible.¡± ¡°Director Luo¡¯s outstanding judgment and sharp sense of smell are really suitable for this industry.¡± ¡°By the way, Chairman Luo, I heard that you¡¯re going to do a variety show next. Tell us about it,¡± someone joked. Luo Feng happened to have the intention of attracting investments, so he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I sign a lot of trainees recently? I wanted to give them all a chance to appear on screen, so I thought of a competitive variety show.¡± When everyone heard this, they thought of something. Some time ago, the matter of Morris leaving during his training had caused an uproar. Just the number of people who came forward to report had changed several times, and the trending topics had dominated the rankings for two to three days. Everyone in the industry had heard about this. Coincidentally, Luo Feng had signed a large number of trainees at this moment and was about to launch a group image variety show. He roughly knew where this group of trainees came from. If this variety show succeeded, wouldn¡¯t she be standing on Morris¡¯s shoulder? Everyone nodded in understanding and could not help but snicker. ¡°What a bold and interesting idea. I¡¯m interested.¡± ¡°How far have you roughly progressed? Do you have any partners?¡± ¡°What requirements does this trainee have for participating in variety shows? I think there are a few celebrities in my family who are not bad.¡± Everyone had seen Luo Feng¡¯s unique judgment, and Chairman Xiong thought so highly of him. They all wanted to participate and take a share of the loot. Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m still in the midst of the plan, but I believe I¡¯ll meet everyone soon. To be honest, I haven¡¯t contacted my partners yet. This is the first time I¡¯ve mentioned this outside the company.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, everyone¡¯s gazes immediately changed. They stared at Luo Feng as if they were staring at a piece of fat meat. As long as they had the intention to cooperate, they would be competitors! ¡°Hahaha, Chairman Luo is really a straightforward person. It must be a very happy thing to be able to work with Chairman Luo.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We¡¯ll have plenty of opportunities to work together in the future.¡± ¡°Come, Chairman Luo, I¡¯ll use tea as a toast to you!¡± The crowd was getting more and more heated. They did not notice that the veins on Kou Zhiyuan¡¯s temples were bulging and he was about to explode from anger. This Luo Feng was actually so bold as to brazenly intercept the company¡¯s trainees. Perhaps Luo Feng was behind the trainees leaving together. And that Xiaochun! Kou Zhiyuan looked at the little girl who used to be dejected who was now a popular internet celebrity. In the past, she could not even afford to pay a hundred thousand yuan for the breach of contract. In less than a year, she could already talk to the big shots face to face! Sometimes, seeing the enemy earn money was worse than losing money. That was how Kou Zhiyuan felt right now. ¡°Supervisor Kou, the photoshoot is about to begin. Let¡¯s go over first,¡± Ottilia reminded him carefully. Before the charity auction began, there was also a photoshoot segment on the red carpet. It was also an opportunity for celebrities to collect photos of activities and compete for fame and fortune. Ottilia still had to change into the brand¡¯s gown and touch up her makeup. If she continued to eavesdrop, she would probably not have time. ¡°Go by yourself,¡± Supervisor Kou said coldly. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the auction house first.¡± At the same time, Chairman Xiong glanced at his watch. ¡°It¡¯s almost time for the red carpet photoshoot. We don¡¯t need to participate. Let¡¯s go to the auction house and sit down to chat,¡± Chairman Xiong suggested. The others nodded, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Chairman Xiong took two steps and seemed to have just noticed the two celebrities beside Luo Feng. ¡°Yo! Look at my brain. I almost forgot that the two of you are also participating in the photo session. I¡¯ll send you to the dressing room first.¡± Xiao Chun and Tang Jin smiled in embarrassment. Luo Feng explained, ¡°The two of them aren¡¯t participating in the photo session. I¡¯m only bringing them here to see the world.¡± Taking photos on the red carpet was not just a time for celebrities to show off their Charm. They wore branded gowns, jewelry, and watches to show off their fashion resources. Three or four gowns may be changed for an event. Xiaochun and Tang Jin¡¯s gown makers were just nameless students. They would definitely be mocked if they walked on the red carpet. Luo Feng didn¡¯t need the two of them to attract attention. He just needed to eat tea and snacks quietly. ¡°I think your gowns are very designed. It¡¯s a pity not to show them.¡± A tall and handsome man with half of his hair stopped beside Xiaochun and Tang Jin. His appearance and makeup were very exquisite, but he was not feminine. The diamonds on the brooch were very eye-catching, as if he was a character from a comic book. The fashionable handsome man was quite interested in Xiao Chun and Tang Jin¡¯s gowns. He pinched his chin and kept nodding. ¡°Looks like you know a lot about gowns?¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Blair, and I¡¯m a fashion designer.¡± Blair smiled gently. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin almost couldn¡¯t resist. Luo Feng and Chairman Xiong didn¡¯t know much about designers, so they didn¡¯t know who Claire was. Similarly, Blair was more interested in clothes than Luo Feng. ¡°I can feel that the designer of the gown must be a lonely¡­ young lady with wild imagination! She¡¯s slightly young, but she¡¯s very creative. She¡¯s really attractive!¡± Luo Feng did not know how he guessed the designer¡¯s gender from the clothes. The important thing was that he had guessed correctly. No matter what, it was an opportunity. ¡°Your taste is really amazing. The fashion designer is one of my wife¡¯s sisters. If she has the chance to listen to your guidance, she will definitely benefit greatly.¡± Luo Feng took out his business card. Blair did not take it. Instead, he covered his mouth and laughed. ¡°One of your wife¡¯s sisters. Could it be that your wife has many sisters?¡± These words were slightly rude. Xiaochun and Tang Jin frowned unhappily. Luo Feng did not mind and said generously, ¡°My wife was born in an orphanage. The children younger than her are her younger siblings.¡± The atmosphere instantly froze. Blair couldn¡¯t smile. He was an art designer with a goal. He was not interested in money and rarely deliberately curry favor with rich people. Therefore, he looked down on Luo Feng, who was being flattered. However, this matter¡­ this matter¡­ Blair really wanted to slap himself. How could his mouth be so cheap! Chapter 351 - 351 Your Pursuit Is Quite Unique 351 your pursuit is quite unique blair really wanted to slap himself. why did he dare to say anything? ¡°i¡¯m sorry¡­ i¡¯m really sorry. i¡­¡± blair was so embarrassed that he didn¡¯t know what to say. he hurriedly took luo feng¡¯s business card with both hands. ¡°i like the design of these two clothes very much. i¡¯ll definitely meet them when i have the chance.¡± ¡°i¡¯ll thank you on behalf of my sister first.¡± luo feng smiled like a spring breeze. this made blair even more embarrassed. he scratched his head helplessly and ran away with his head lowered. the onlookers who did not know the truth only saw the arrogant blair running away in small steps, losing his composure. ¡°even blair was conquered by chairman luo?¡± ¡°he actually accepted director luo¡¯s business card. i remember that blair said that he would only communicate with people he liked.¡± ¡°what kind of stupid statement is this? does he have such a strong background?¡± ¡°of course, some people¡¯s talent can cover up all his certainty. blair is such a lucky person.¡± the onlookers were shocked and looked at luo feng even more seriously. ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± luo feng acted as if nothing had happened. chairman xiong burst out laughing, disregarding his image. ¡°hahaha, did you see the designer¡¯s expression just now? that kind of panic, hahaha!¡± the vendors and the artists were probably creatures of two different worlds. the vendors could not understand the ethereal inner world of the artists. the artists looked down on the vendors¡¯ mercenary style of doing things. the only thing the two of them had in common was probably that they would laugh when they saw someone make a fool of themselves. chairman xiong laughed heartily for a few minutes before barely holding it in. ¡°i haven¡¯t seen such an interesting scene in a long time.¡± luo feng did not understand what his joke was, so he said, ¡°as long as you¡¯re happy. now, let¡¯s go to the next place.¡± chairman xiong wanted to laugh even more when he saw his nonchalant expression. chairman xiong wanted to laugh even more when he saw his nonchalant expression. even if it was just going to blair¡¯s studio, it would be beneficial to a new designer. luo feng knew how to seize every opportunity to benefit his own people. to be able to become his business partner, he would definitely not suffer a loss in the future! thinking of this, chairman xiong¡¯s gaze became meaningful. as one of the few people who were more familiar with luo feng before he became a giant, he had to seize the opportunity to cooperate in the future! the group walked deeper into the exhibition center. they passed through the small garden in the middle and entered another venue. for such a gala, the decorations at the venue were similar. the seats were arranged according to their status. to avoid unnecessary trouble, names were pasted on the backs of every chair. luo feng held an amazon invitation letter and naturally wanted to find the small sofa with the words ¡°amazon representative¡± written on it. to his surprise, the name on it had already been changed to him. ¡°the organizers here are really something.¡± luo feng touched his chin. even though it was only a small matter, it was enough to show the organizers¡¯ intentions and their control over the scene. luo feng sat in his seat while xiao chun and tang jin sat behind him. ¡°the location of the red carpet photo is at the car exhibition hall. if the two of you are interested, you can go over and take a look.¡± chairman xiong kindly introduced the two of them. ¡°thank you, chairman xiong, but i still think that i can learn more from you,¡± xiaochun replied sweetly, making chairman xiong very happy. after what had happened previously, xiaochun understood that only by following luo feng would they have a chance to be seen. otherwise, they would be two nameless minions who were not even worthy of chatting. take what had just happened for example. if luo feng was not around, blair would only think that the design of these two gowns was alright. he would think well of them, but he would not take it to heart. it was precisely because of luo feng that blair would probably never forget their first meeting. thinking of this, xiaochun covered her mouth and giggled. looking at blair¡¯s state just now, he probably wanted to slap himself when he woke up in the middle of the night. ¡°sister xiao chun, what are you laughing at?¡± tang jin asked. ¡°i just thought of something interesting.¡± xiao chun flexed her facial muscles to make him relax. ¡°why do you look unhappy?¡± ¡°it¡¯s nothing. i just thought that i might not be able to eat that small refreshment again.¡± tang jin looked at the light above his head regretfully. ¡°that was the most special refreshment i¡¯ve ever eaten. unfortunately, i didn¡¯t eat two more pieces just now.¡± hearing this, xiaochun¡¯s lips twitched. in the entire venue, tang jin was probably the only one who came to eat sincerely. ¡°aren¡¯t you excited? so many people were paying attention to you just now.¡± xiao chun wanted to wake up tang jin¡¯s brain cells other than eating. ¡°do you know how many people dream of this?¡± this included xiaochun herself. she was determined to become a celebrity because she wanted to receive more attention, recognition, and praise. this goal had just been achieved, and it had made her heart surge with emotions. she had yet to completely recover. ¡°it¡¯s a lie to say that i¡¯m not touched, but you know that feelings are illusory.¡± tang jin touched his deflated stomach. ¡°it¡¯s better to eat.¡± ¡°¡­as expected, everyone has their own aspirations.¡± xiao chun was speechless. thinking about it, it made sense. when tang jin first came to be an internet celebrity, it was purely because she did not have enough living expenses and admired luo feng. putting everything else aside, her usual heart was very stable. luo feng and chairman xiong heard their conversation clearly. chairman xiong couldn¡¯t stop laughing. ¡°chairman luo¡¯s subordinates are really interesting.¡± luo feng smiled and said, ¡°the purpose of our company is to dig out the talents of artists. i believe that there¡¯s no gold that doesn¡¯t shine. it¡¯s just that it¡¯s not blinded by dust.¡± he also admired tang jin¡¯s mentality, especially in the entertainment industry. how many people could maintain their original intention? ¡°chairman luo is indeed different.¡± chairman xiong glanced at luo feng again. this person was still the same as when they first met. he was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither fast nor slow. he handled everything with ease. chairman xiong was very curious. what was the ambition of someone like luo feng, who seemed to be letting nature take its course? as a vendor, he didn¡¯t put benefits first and was willing to distribute the money he earned to his employees. he founded a company and entered the entertainment industry. he didn¡¯t care much about fame and fortune. otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have stayed in the corner to watch his employees eat tea and snacks. as the boss, he even personally helped pull strings for a tiny gown. unexpectedly, chairman xiong asked, ¡°i really want to know, chairman luo, what is your goal?¡± ¡°me?¡± luo feng rarely thought about such uncertain questions. after thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, ¡°my goal is to be a freeloader.¡± chairman xiong¡¯s face was filled with question marks. freeloader? there was no answer that could be more ridiculous than this. however, luo feng looked serious and did not seem to be joking. chairman xiong could not smile because he realized that he really believed luo feng¡¯s answer! Chapter 352 - 352 Theyre All Bosses, Why Are They Different? 352 they¡¯re all bosses, why are they different? luo feng¡¯s answer was ridiculous, but chairman xiong, who trusted him, felt that his answer was even more ridiculous. ¡°haha, chairman luo¡¯s pursuit is really different from others.¡± chairman xiong had always been smooth-talking, but he didn¡¯t know how to continue. he could only laugh to cover up his embarrassment. luo feng did not think much of it. his eyes were fixed on the entrance. celebrities who had finished taking photos on the red carpet would enter the venue from there. chairman xiong followed his gaze. ¡°is chairman luo looking for someone?¡± chairman xiong asked. ¡°yes.¡± luo feng nodded and looked around. ¡°my wife asked me to pass a fan letter to ottilia. i didn¡¯t see her just now.¡± chairman xiong could not understand luo feng anymore. even he, who did not watch many variety shows, knew that the champion of ¡°i want to sing¡±, ottilia, was morris¡¯ signed artiste, who was also luo feng¡¯s opposite. he actually sent fan letters to his family. most importantly, it was from his wife. in the entertainment industry, where one could write a piece of gossip with just a look, sending fan letters to their opponents would attract many guesses. as he thought about it, chairman xiong¡¯s thoughts began to wander. could it be that he did not understand luo feng¡¯s logic? could it be to hype it up? to use the popularity of his family to increase the exposure of his company? if that was the case, it would be even more of a hot topic for the family. the gains would not make up for the losses, right? chairman xiong began to brainstorm like a spectator watching a suspense drama, guessing luo feng¡¯s motive. what he did not know was that luo feng was simply completing the mission ai tingya had given him because he would not reject any of her requests. at this moment, a familiar figure sat down, only separated from luo feng by chairman xiong. xiaochun was the first to react. she patted luo feng¡¯s shoulder and whispered in his ear, ¡°boss, it¡¯s morris¡¯ kou zhiyuan. he¡¯s right beside chairman xiong.¡± enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road, but they had to sit so close to each other. it was unknown if the organizers did it unintentionally or if they were doing it on purpose. luo feng was a little happy. ¡°then ottilia will come over later. that¡¯s great. i don¡¯t have to look for her everywhere.¡± he seemed to have settled a big matter as he waited for the gala to officially begin. should luo feng be too careless or fearless? he did not understand xiao chun¡¯s main point at all. ¡°boss, i¡¯m a little nervous¡­¡± ¡°the bathroom seems to be over there. it won¡¯t be easy to walk there once we bring it back to the party.¡± ¡°¡­¡± xiaochun was speechless. originally, when facing her former superior, she still had the painful memory of being squeezed dry. however, rough nerves were contagious. seeing that luo feng was so calm, xiao chun calmed down a lot. she continued to chat with tang jin about the secret recipe for refreshments and wanted to go back and replicate it. when chairman xiong, who was sitting beside luo feng, saw this, he stopped reminding luo feng and chatted with him about some irrelevant things. kou zhiyuan was the only one left in the battlefield with a straight face. the people around him were all talking and laughing, and he was the only one sitting alone as if he was meditating. those who didn¡¯t know better would think that he was isolating everyone. not long after, the live music changed, indicating that the main event of the night¡ªthe charity auction¡ªwas finally about to begin. ottilia was the last celebrity to return. she regained some confidence under the surrounding lights in the finale. however, when she returned to her seat, she saw that she was sitting in the third row, while the two little internet celebrities were sitting in the second row, right next to the first row! his status instantly dropped! ottilia couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. she pouted and sat in her seat. was she looking at xiaochun and tang jin with jealousy? how could someone with no fame or status sit in such a high position? and he, a rising star in the entertainment industry, was only marginal? it was really unfair! ¡°strange, why do i feel a chill on my back?¡± tang jin shivered and felt a chill run down her spine. ¡°is the air conditioner too low? it¡¯s terrible. it¡¯ll be over soon.¡± xiao chun fiddled with the gown, showing off the most beautiful look. female celebrities were like this. they had to show their most beautiful side at all times. since they were already cold, they had to wear their original clothes and set an example for tang jin. this was the awareness of a female artist! ¡°maybe.¡± tang jin touched the back of his cold neck and glanced back. he felt like someone was staring at him. ¡°put this on.¡± luo feng took off his jacket and handed it to tang jin. ¡°just one. the two of you can squeeze together.¡± ¡°thank you, boss.¡± tang jin took the coat naturally. ¡°hehe, our boss is the most considerate. i can go back to the dormitory again.¡± it was an unintentional compliment, but it was extremely harsh to ottilia¡¯s ears. they were both bosses. why were they completely different? it was also his first time participating in the red carpet. he was so nervous that his hands and feet were stiff. his boss let him be. if he did not do well, he would receive a scolding. on the other hand, other people¡¯s bosses could not wait to hang their employees on their waists like keychains. they carried them wherever they went. they were sensible and gentle. ottilia glanced at kou zhiyuan in a daze and met his impatient gaze. kou zhiyuan¡¯s eyes seemed to be saying, ¡°let¡¯s do something serious. did i bring you here to make you daydream?¡± ottilia shivered, goosebumps rising all over her body. her participation in the gala was not just a beautiful photoshoot. she also had to socialize. it would be best if she could promote herself and find a sugar daddy to back her up. only then would the company continue to invest resources after the popularity decreased. this was almost the default rule before entertainment. ottilia sighed in resignation. when she looked up again, her face was filled with a bright smile like a summer day as she chatted with the bosses beside her. even so, there were times when she would steal glances at tang jin and xiaochun. the two little internet celebrities that she looked down on were relaxed and free from pressure. they were purely here to watch the show. ottilia was very envious. ¡­ ¡°respected ladies and gentlemen! thank you everyone for participating in our star gathering party charity auction gala. i am today¡¯s host, chai fu. good evening, everyone!¡± on the stage, the host appeared on stage and gave the same opening speech. below the stage, chairman xiong took the number plate and the auction product book handed over by the etiquette lady and explained the rules to luo feng. ¡°it¡¯s similar to ordinary auctions. if there¡¯s an item you like, raise the number plate and bid. you have to be careful.¡± luo feng nodded and flipped through the auction items. the items were very ordinary. they were nothing more than antique vases and ancient calligraphy and paintings. below them were the lives of donors. they were basically celebrities. they would donate the money they earned from the auction and stir up two waves of popularity with a single cent. luo feng didn¡¯t think much of it. he closed the booklet. ¡°how can i donate directly?¡± he wanted to increase the company¡¯s reputation, so he naturally had to be more special. participating in the auction was too normal. he had to find a way to shock the world! Chapter 353 - 353 The First Auction, The Worst Moment To Raise The Price 353 the first auction, the worst moment to raise the price ¡°you¡¯re so direct, i don¡¯t even know how to answer you.¡± chairman xiong shook his head with a bitter smile. was he unable to keep up with the times? why was it that he was getting more and more confused about the thoughts of young people? he practically had all his motives written on his face and did not even bother to hide them. ¡°we¡¯re not outsiders. why should chairman xiong and i hide it?¡± luo feng revealed a sincere smile. chairman xiong was used to pretending to be someone else. now that he had met such a straightforward person, he did not know how to deal with it. he stared at luo feng¡¯s harmless face for a while before sneering. ¡°i think you already have an idea. are you asking for my opinion?¡± ¡°this isn¡¯t my first time here. i¡¯m asking you if this is appropriate,¡± luo feng said. ¡°of course. as long as you¡¯re strong enough, even if you bring people to smash the venue, the organizers will praise you for doing a good job,¡± chairman xiong said. ¡°after all, our industry is so pragmatic.¡± ¡°thank you for your guidance, chairman xiong.¡± luo feng smiled. xiao chun and tang jin, who were sitting at the back, were confused. ¡°do you know what the boss wants to do?¡± xiao chun asked tang jin. ¡°i don¡¯t know, but from what chairman xiong said, he seems to be asking the boss to destroy the venue,¡± tang jin replied foolishly. if he remembered correctly, luo feng had brought the two of them here this time because firstly, he wanted them to see the world. secondly, he wanted them to promote the company and increase their reputation. thirdly, he wanted to collaborate with the trainees¡¯ variety show that was being prepared. these three points had already been made clear to the guests during the refreshments just now. many people immediately expressed their intention to cooperate. according to their simple minds, as long as they sat until the end of the gala or bought one or two auction items back as souvenirs, tonight¡¯s mission would be completed. luo feng did not think so. his innovative artist company was a small company that had been established for less than a year. it was much worse than morris. so many people had expressed their willingness to cooperate just now. it was hard to guarantee that it was not just empty words. in addition, morris had already treated the innovative artist as a thorn in his side. in the future, if there were isolated incidents like invitations, luo feng would not have the time to deal with these small matters one by one. he had to show his true strength to let these people reevaluate the value of both sides. as for the performance method, the simpler and more direct the method, the more effective it was. money! he wanted everyone present to see what kind of person the innovative artist¡¯s boss was. ¡°take it.¡± luo feng handed the number plate to xiao chun. ¡°you can call for it later.¡± xiaochun held the sign in fear and trepidation. ¡°why?¡± luo feng smiled and did not answer directly. why? of course, it was because of the profits! if he was the one who called the number, then this money would be considered a pastime that he had spent for nothing. it could not be considered an investment in the company. however, if it was xiaochun who called it out, it would be different. she was an employee of the innovative artist company. when she worked for the company, the money would also be transferred from the company¡¯s accounts, and the cashback would enter luo feng¡¯s pocket. ¡°i¡¯ll give you a chance to train and show your face in front of everyone,¡± luo feng said vaguely. xiaochun held the number plate and began to breathe. the light wooden token in his hand was comparable to a tiger talisman! moreover, it was a tiger talisman that could command money. ¡°i¡­ i, i, i¡­ can i really do it?¡± xiao chun stuttered as she asked tang jin for help. ¡°i, i, i, i can¡¯t control my hand. xiao jin, help me hold it, hold it!¡± ¡°i¡­ i don¡¯t dare either¡­¡± the two girls were at a loss as to what to do with this sign, as if they were facing a baby whose neck had yet to grow stiff. chairman xiong looked at the nervous and flustered duo, then at the calm luo feng. another question mark popped up in her head. ¡°and why is that?¡± he realized that his attention was completely focused on luo feng. he had been investigating what this person wanted to do. studying people¡¯s hearts was a compulsory path for qualified vendors. when chairman xiong was young, he liked to find a random shop and sit at the door to observe the customers who entered. through their appearance, clothes, and expressions, he pondered their needs. it was also this ability to see through people¡¯s hearts that made his business path much smoother. however, the first time he saw luo feng, he could not understand this young man. it was the same when they met again. ¡°we¡¯re sitting so close this time. i have to take a good look at what you¡¯re up to,¡± chairman xiong thought to himself as he watched luo feng¡¯s every move from the corner of his eye. after the long opening speech, the auction officially began. the host made way for the center of the stage, and the elegant hostess pushed up the first auction item¡ªthe golden bracelet. ¡°the first auction item was donated by our famous kunqu artist, madam zuo nian. it¡¯s a pure gold bracelet that symbolizes the auspiciousness of dragons and phoenixes. this bracelet¡¯s background is not small. it has accompanied madam zuo nian through the stage for 40 years. now, madam zuo nian hopes that it can achieve a more meaningful value. the starting price is 100,000 yuan! 100 bids.¡± as soon as the host finished announcing, someone immediately raised his card. ¡°150,000!¡± everyone looked back and the lights followed. a white-haired old man was smiling as he raised his number plate. ¡°this seems to be madam zuo nian¡¯s die-hard fan. every year, madam zuo nian will donate something to charity sales. no matter what costume she has worn for more than 10 years, this person will film it back,¡± chairman xiong explained. ¡°you can find out about this too?¡± luo feng thought that he was completely uninterested in the entertainment industry. ¡°my mother also likes to listen to teacher zuo nian¡¯s plays,¡± chairman xiong said calmly. luo feng nodded. he was already so old, yet he still had the money to chase after celebrities. he did not miss any auctions. it seemed that this auctioneer had a powerful background. thinking of this, luo feng turned around and looked. the old man¡¯s eyes were smiling into slits. occasionally, he would nod at his surroundings and thank someone. in the end, the most important thing here was the way of the world. there were not many rules in the star gathering party¡¯s auction segment because most of the people who could sit here understood when to perform and when not to perform. it looked like there were no restrictions, but it was actually very easy to unintentionally offend people. luo feng retracted his gaze. he could not participate in the first round of the auction. after all, she was a true fan. how could she snatch someone else¡¯s love? ¡°200,000 yuan!¡± a familiar voice rang out in the venue. luo feng was stunned. he turned around and saw tang jin calmly holding up a sign. this¡­ he had just said pass, but he snatched it away? when tang jin saw luo feng looking at her, she grinned. ¡°sister xiaochun, i¡¯m sorry. i¡¯ll help her raise the first sign. boss, don¡¯t worry. we¡¯ll definitely complete the mission you gave us perfectly!¡± she did not know what luo feng wanted to do, but since he had already said that he would raise the sign, he had to raise it high! luo feng¡¯s usual indulgence and protectiveness made tang jin bolder and bolder. he raised the bid to 200,000 yuan! we innovative artists are not lacking money after all! Chapter 354 - 354 You Have to Fight Even If You Dont Want To, A Deal Price! 354 you have to fight even if you don¡¯t want to, a deal price! it was immoral to snatch something that people loved. even though the focused light did not move to tang jin, everyone looked at her in surprise. then, they naturally noticed luo feng, the boss. chairman xiong silently gave him a thumbs up. his eyes seemed to be saying, ¡°i¡¯ve already explained it to you so clearly. you¡¯re still stronger. you¡¯re really awesome!¡± luo feng scratched his face awkwardly. he shifted his body slightly to look at the opera fan. he was also surprised. perhaps he had followed more than ten auctions, but this was the first time he had encountered someone fighting with him. moreover, it was a young girl. at her age, it was obvious that she was not interested in opera. most people were stunned. the scene was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. the host was the first to react. ¡°are there any more guests who want to bid higher? anything else? okay! 200,000 yuan going once¡­¡± there was a noticeable pause in between to prompt the drama-fan uncle¡ªquickly add if you want. ¡°250,000 yuan!¡± the old man raised his sign a second time. madam zuo nian¡¯s bracelet was originally not worth 100,000 yuan because her reputation had given the bracelet more value. coupled with this favor-oriented environment, a bracelet that could be bought for 100,100 yuan was already quite high at 150,000 yuan. unexpectedly, it rose to 250,000 yuan in two moves. luo feng turned around again. the kind face of the opera fan revealed an expression similar to a young man¡¯s victory. for the sake of his idol, he would definitely not give in! at this moment, luo feng saw tang jin raise the sign again. before he could stop her, tang jin shouted angrily, ¡°300,000 yuan!¡± then, he gave luo feng a ¡°don¡¯t worry¡± smile, as if he was covering himself. ¡°wow!¡± many people present exclaimed in admiration. it was only the first auction item, and they could already see a bidding war? luo feng did not even dare to look at the expression of the old man who was a fan of the show. his face was probably about to turn green. chairman xiong thought that this was all under luo feng¡¯s instructions. he kept reminding him with his eyes that it was enough. he didn¡¯t want to really push the old man too far. luo feng was caught between laughter and tears. he whispered, ¡°little jin, don¡¯t add anymore.¡± ¡°have i completed the mission?¡± tang jin¡¯s face was full of anticipation. her innocent appearance could not bear to be criticized. if she turned around and looked at the expression of the old drama fan, she might not be able to ask such a question. ¡°in short, don¡¯t add anymore.¡± luo feng smiled bitterly. tang jin was like a little general who had won a battle. her back was straight, and what she wanted was a dignified appearance. xiaochun, who was beside him, gave him a thumbs up. ¡°with you demonstrating for me, i feel much more at ease¡± xiao chun said gratefully. ¡°hmph, it¡¯s my honor,¡± tang jin said with a smile. chairman xiong looked at the two naive girls helplessly and smiled at luo feng. ¡°let¡¯s see how you clean this up.¡± ¡°it¡¯s fine. we won¡¯t raise the price anymore. that old man can still get xinyi¡¯s bracelet. if he really can¡¯t, i¡¯ll personally apologize later.¡± this was not something that could not be salvaged. luo feng turned around and saw the old opera fan grit his teeth and prepare to raise his card again. ¡°310,000 yuan!¡± another voice completely petrified the old man. kou zhiyuan raised his sign and raised the price. ¡°hehe, there¡¯s going to be a good show to watch.¡± chairman xiong turned his head slightly, enjoying the show. luo feng and kou zhiyuan were only separated by chairman xiong. with a slight turn of their heads, they could see each other¡¯s expressions clearly. kou zhiyuan curled his lips and looked at them provocatively. he had also heard about the old man who was a fan of opera. if he increased the price now, it would undoubtedly deepen the extent of luo feng¡¯s offense. when they chatted later, it could be said that he wanted to help the old man get the bracelet back. unfortunately, he was just a little short. he did not need to spend money. not only did he step on luo feng, but he also raised himself. this plan was written all over kou zhiyuan¡¯s face. he had no intention of hiding it. luo feng knew that he had to raise the price! ¡°320,000!¡± without needing luo feng to explain, xiao chun raised her sign and shouted the price, strived to let everyone present hear it. ¡°330,000.¡± ¡°340,000!¡± ¡°350,000.¡± ¡°360,000! 370,000! 380,000!¡± xiaochun was furious when she saw kou zhiyuan. she was so excited that she kept raising her head, trying to suppress kou zhiyuan. ¡°xiao chun, calm down.¡± tang jin stopped xiao chun to prevent her from getting high first. ¡°humph.¡± kou zhiyuan smiled contemptuously and raised his card. ¡°four hundred thousand.¡± ¡°you!¡± xiaochun was furious. if not for tang jin holding her back, she would have rushed over to argue. ¡°xiaochun!¡± luo feng was slightly stern. ¡°don¡¯t lose your bearing.¡± it was obvious that xiaochun had put her emotions into it and felt that kou zhiyuan was targeting her. she had forgotten the rules of the auction and only wanted to teach kou zhiyuan a lesson. ¡°calm down. little jin, you¡¯ll be the relay.¡± luo feng had a straight face. it was rare for him to be so serious to his employees. xiaochun and tang jin immediately understood the seriousness of this matter. tang jin raised the sign nervously. the price was already 400,000 yuan. did she really have the right to decide? ¡°410,000!¡± she became more cautious and increased the bid amount from ¡°50,000¡± to ¡°10,000¡±. ¡°420,000.¡± ¡°421,100!¡± tang jin was terrified. she started to bid according to the lowest bid in the auction house. in any case, an extra yuan in the auction house was still a lot. ¡°hahaha.¡± kou zhiyuan laughed loudly and raised his card confidently. ¡°430,000!¡± ¡°¡­boss¡­¡± tang jin was so scared that she cried. she did not dare to shout any higher. ¡°it¡¯s a little troublesome.¡± luo feng also felt that it was a waste of time to continue bidding. ¡°little jin, can you call a higher price to end this round?¡± ¡°huh? me?¡± tang jin was so scared that he almost curled up into a ball. ¡°¡­ what do you think of five hundred thousand?¡± ¡°just shout. as long as it can end.¡± luo feng gave her an affirmative look. tang jin had no idea what the price would be. anyway, it was fine as long as it was high¡­ ¡°430,000! is there anyone else who wants to continue?¡± the host said excitedly. the hammer-cracking auctioneer urged everyone, ¡°430,000 going once! 430,000 going twice!¡± ¡°one, one million!¡± tang jin used all her energy! as soon as she finished speaking, the entire place fell silent! a gold bracelet worth 100,000 yuan was actually priced at a million yuan! she must be crazy! tang jin was trembling in fear. tears welled up in her eyes, and her mouth trembled uncontrollably. ¡°1,000,000 yuan going once!¡± the auctioneer was extremely excited as he struck the first mace. knock- knock- ¡°one million going thrice, sold! congratulations to this beautiful lady for winning the first auction item of this auction!¡± the auctioneer¡¯s words were like a heavy hammer that hit tang jin¡¯s head. he felt like he was seeing stars, his limbs were weak, and the ceiling was spinning. ¡°little jin, well done.¡± luo feng¡¯s words pulled tang jin back to reality. ¡°i have a quest for you¡­ what¡¯s wrong? are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°i didn¡¯t bankrupt the company, did i?¡± tang jin sobbed. ¡°of course not. we bought the bracelet. you did very well.¡± luo feng realized that the little girl was frightened. tang jin blinked and said, ¡°it¡¯s good that you¡¯re not bankrupt. boss, what quests do you have for me?¡± Chapter 355 - 355 A White Lie, Grandpa, Dont Despise It 355 a white lie, grandpa, don¡¯t despise it kou zhiyuan shook his head happily and listened to what else luo feng could do. he expected that luo feng would not have a chance to remedy the situation. this was because when they started bidding and snatching what others loved, that old opera fan would have been offended. even though kou zhiyuan did not know the exact identity of the actor-fan uncle, he could tell that he was definitely not ordinary looking at his wealth and strength! luo feng had suffered a double loss this time. this one million yuan was not a small sum. if he spent it so casually, his heart would probably ache for a long time. at the thought that luo feng had lost so much money for nothing, kou zhiyuan was even happier than if he had earned a million yuan himself. kou zhiyuan held his stomach and laughed until he trembled. ¡°mr. kou, are you alright?¡± chairman xiong saw that he had curled up into a ball and was trembling non-stop. he thought that he had a sudden illness. ¡°i¡¯m fine.¡± kou zhiyuan sat up straight. there was a joyous expression on his face. ¡°i just suddenly thought of something happy.¡± chairman xiong could not be bothered to ask him what it was about. he turned around and patted luo feng, indicating for him to see his opponent¡¯s smug face. luo feng only smiled and did not pay much attention to it. ¡°boss, why do you want me to investigate this?¡± tang jin held luo feng¡¯s phone. the page was filled with information about teacher zuo nian. luo feng hooked his finger and gestured for tang jin to come closer. after the explanation, tang jin¡¯s gloomy face immediately lit up with new life. ¡°boss, you finally know how to do it!¡± tang jin was overjoyed. she could not help but praise luo feng. ¡°can you complete it?¡± luo feng asked. ¡°trust my acting skills. i¡¯m from our school¡¯s drama club!¡± tang jin hugged her phone as if she was holding a secret weapon. it was not enough for her to watch it alone. she even pulled xiao chun to watch it with her. xiaochun was completely out of the loop. she did whatever she was told like a puppet. ¡°everyone, next is our second auction item¡­¡± the host on stage warmed up the atmosphere again and hurriedly pushed up the second auction item. the first auction item was bought at ten times the price, and the atmosphere at the venue became much more enthusiastic. many people were eager to try, holding their number tags tightly in their hands. tang jin leaned closer to luo feng and said, ¡°boss, i¡¯m ready!¡± ¡°come back before the third item is auctioned. the items have already been sent to that entrance,¡± luo feng said. ¡°hurry up and come back.¡± ¡°please.¡± tang jin pulled xiao chun and ran out. kou zhiyuan, who was watching their every move, saw this and quickly said to ottilia, ¡°go and see what tricks they¡¯re up to. if necessary, you can cause trouble.¡± ¡°¡­yes.¡± ottilia was unwilling. she had completely become an errand girl. the three girls ran into the corridor one after another. there was already a waiter waiting there with an exquisite wooden box. after tang jin revealed his identity, he successfully obtained the wooden box. ¡°sister xiaochun, do you remember what i told you just now?¡± tang jin asked again. ¡°of course, but¡­¡± xiaochun was a little suspicious. ¡°will that work? why does it feel a little unreliable¡­¡± ¡°i can only make a hail mary effort!¡± tang jin was also desperate. after all, she was also responsible for this matter. she definitely could not cause trouble for luo feng! the two of them waited in the corridor with the box in their arms. not long after, the old opera fan appeared at the entrance of the corridor dejectedly with a walking stick. he sighed three times with every step, as if he had lost something important. ¡°grandpa.¡± tang jin immediately ran over when he saw him. the old opera fan did not expect there to be someone in the corridor. he was so frightened that he took a step back and almost lost his balance. xiaochun was quick to react and quickly supported the old man. ¡°grandpa, are you alright?¡± tang jin asked worriedly. the old opera fan saw her face clearly and remembered that she was the young lady who had competed with him just now. he said expressionlessly, ¡°your old bones are still considered sturdy. please move aside.¡± it would be a lie to say that he was not angry. young people nowadays did not listen to drama. this golden bracelet was just an ordinary piece of gold to them. to drama fans, it was a personal item that had been with their idol for most of their lives¡­ the more the old man thought about it, the sadder he became. he shook his head repeatedly and walked around the two of them. the longer she stood in this sad place, the sadder she became. ¡°grandpa, wait. i have something for you.¡± tang jin ran to the old man and opened the wooden box in his hand. the item was lying inside. in order to preserve its original appearance, the luster in the cracks of the patterns was no longer there. that was a characteristic that the original owner had worn for a long time. the old man looked at the bracelet and then at tang jin. he asked in confusion, ¡°what do you mean?¡± ¡°this is for you,¡± tang jin said sincerely. ¡°i¡¯m young and insensible. i hope you can be magnanimous.¡± the old opera fan was even more puzzled. he bought it at a high price and gave it away? could it be that he had something to ask of him and was deliberately bidding to use it as a gift? what kind of joke was this? this thing was not worth a million! ¡°there¡¯s no need!¡± the old man, who was a fan of drama, thought of his idol¡¯s bracelet being wrapped in a copper stench and used to please him. he disliked tang jin even more. if he really wanted to give it to me, he shouldn¡¯t have bought it at such a high price back then! what are you pretending for! ¡°i¡¯m really sorry!¡± tang jin insisted on stopping the old man. ¡°at first, i just wanted to buy it for my grandmother because she likes teacher zuo nian very much. i¡¯ve always wanted to give her a special gift. i really don¡¯t know how important this bracelet is to you.¡± ¡°hmph, since it¡¯s for your grandmother, then keep it.¡± the opera fan uncle wavered, but not much. ¡°i¡¯m not muddle-headed. the highest bidder wins the auction. i won¡¯t lose my old face on this.¡± ¡°i¡¯m really sorry.¡± tang jin was a little flustered. why was this old man so stubborn? ¡°grandpa, please forgive her.¡± xiao chun helped to persuade him. ¡°originally, after knowing the truth, we stopped bidding. we didn¡¯t expect someone else to join us. she knows that it¡¯s her fault, so she has to bid for it and return it to you no matter what.¡± the old opera fan was a little touched, but as the saying went, the poor would not take given food. there was no reason for him to accept something bought by a stranger for more than a million yuan. he still refused. ¡°i can¡¯t accept it. since you said that your grandmother likes it, you should bring it back.¡± tang jin was the first to cry. she choked and said, ¡°don¡¯t say that. my grandmother scolded me. she said that i shouldn¡¯t have snatched your things. since i made a mistake, i should make things right.¡± ¡°my grandmother must have understood your reluctance as a fan of teacher zuo nian. that¡¯s why she gave me a fierce dressing down. i just want a chance to make it up to you. moreover, my grandmother told me the story of teacher zuo nian¡¯s youth. it took her more than ten years to repay her debt because she was young and rash and got into trouble¡­¡± tang jin then hummed the scene that teacher zuo nian had sung. it was a mess because it was last-minute cramming, fair weather atheists turned to god in a pinch, it was a mess. unless one was a hardcore fan, one would not be able to tell what she was humming. even though it was deliberate, it was very useful to the old man who was a fan of drama. he said in surprise, ¡°you actually listened to teacher zuo nian¡¯s drama?¡± Chapter 356 - 356 An Impressive Character! 356 an impressive character! the old drama fan was far happier to find a young drama fan than to get a gold bracelet. ¡°i¡­ i often listen to operas with my grandmother. i don¡¯t know much, but i hum a few words.¡± tang jin was busy trying to make up the white lie. she would expose herself if he asked any further. ¡°i see. young people nowadays rarely like opera.¡± the old opera fan laughed and was a little disappointed. ¡°then can you accept this bracelet first?¡± tang jin¡¯s dark eyes were filled with a pure light as she said sincerely, ¡°i¡¯ll ask you for it back after i become a qualified movie fan. can you help me keep it first?¡± she was actually looking for a good reason for the old man to accept it even though she said that he was helping to keep it. her tone was almost pleading. the old opera fan felt that it would be too unreasonable if he did not accept it. ¡°but this is what you bought¡­¡± the old man¡¯s rationality was making a final struggle. ¡°i hope to have the motivation to understand traditional culture and teacher zuo nian! grandpa, i won¡¯t disappoint you!¡± as she spoke, tang jin stuffed the box into the hands of the old drama fan and ran back to the venue. ¡°grandpa, this is a little request from this junior.¡± xiaochun hurriedly finished her sentence. ¡°please don¡¯t mind!¡± the old opera fan watched the two of them leave one after another, still unable to react. after so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a gift. it was really rare. at this moment, two people in black clothes, black pants, and black glasses walked in from the other side of the corridor. they bowed deeply to the opera fan, ¡°elder qiu, we¡¯re here to pick you up.¡± the bodyguard wanted to take the wooden box from old qiu¡¯s hand, but the old man dodged and threw the walking stick at him. the disappointed old man who didn¡¯t manage to get his idol¡¯s golden bracelet didn¡¯t bend his back anymore. instead, he became a cool old man with a strong aura. ¡°i¡¯ll take this myself. it¡¯s a gift from the younger generation.¡± the old man laughed heartily and couldn¡¯t bear to part with it. seeing that the host was in a good mood, the bodyguard smiled and said, ¡°young master just heard that you were unhappy at the auction and hurriedly asked us to pick you up. from the looks of it, you seem to be in a good mood.¡± ¡°of course, i met an interesting girl.¡± old qiu slapped his forehead and said in realization, ¡°aiya, i forgot to ask her name.¡± the two bodyguards were about to ask when old qiu raised his hand and stopped them. ¡°forget it. we¡¯ll get it after a little investigation. let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°yes.¡± the bodyguard followed behind old qiu and left the venue unhurriedly. elder qiu was in a good mood. he hummed a tune as he walked, and his voice gradually faded away. by the fire escape, ottilia stuck her head out and looked around. after confirming that no one was around, she pinched her skirt and walked out carefully. ¡°d*mmit.¡± ottilia bit her fingernails. she had been completely fooled! even though she didn¡¯t know elder qiu¡¯s exact identity, no matter how she looked at it, he had an impressive background. if she had known that the innovative artist company had such a plan, she would have instigated supervisor kou to buy the item. this way, she would have left a good impression on elder qiu! maybe she would become her sugar daddy too. she hurriedly ran back to the auction house and almost stepped on her skirt several times. ottilia was anxious and angry. she was panting when she sat down, and her tube dress was askew, revealing her flesh-colored inner lining. ¡°look at how worthless you are. fix your dress!¡± kou zhiyuan scolded in a low voice, feeling embarrassed. ottilia did so and suppressed her voice as she recounted what she had seen. ¡°you mean elder qiu?¡± kou zhiyuan¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°is it that elder qiu?¡± he clearly remembered that in the last century, there was a gambling king named qiu. the reason he became the gambling king was because as long as it was a legal place to gamble, there would be casinos opened by him. as for some unlawful places, there was no need to mention them. it was said that in the last century, when the average salary was dozens of yuan, the gambling king had more than ten million yuan in assets. however, the gambling king retired at the peak of his career. it was said that he kept a low profile because someone in his family was in politics. only his legend was left in the martial arts world, and very few people knew what he looked like. could it be that the legendary figure had personally appeared at this small auction? he had unintentionally offended such a big shot! ¡°supervisor kou, what should we do now?¡± ottilia was so anxious that tears were about to fall. it could be seen that elder qiu really liked the golden bracelet, and kou zhiyuan, who had participated in the malicious bidding, must have left a bad impression on him. if they met again in the future, they would not even be able to say a word. ottilia did not want her acting career to be ruined by such a boring matter. ¡°calm¡­ calm down.¡± kou zhiyuan swallowed his saliva and comforted himself with a stammer. ¡°it¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright. there are too few opportunities to bump into each other. just be careful in the future. the big shots are all¡­ magnanimous. they won¡¯t hold a grudge over such a small matter! be careful in the future!¡± he squeezed out the last few words fiercely, as if he was warning ottilia, but also as if he was talking about himself. the two of them weren¡¯t loud, but since they were in an open space, there was no wall that didn¡¯t let in the wind. chairman xiong¡¯s eyes widened when he heard the news. this was too explosive! he turned to look at luo feng. at this moment, luo feng was praising tang jin and xiao chun for their good performance. he said that he would ask for a few refreshments to pack for them later. the two girls were happy and did not have the slightest nervousness from meeting a big shot. chairman xiong swallowed his words. it was good not to know, because it would be more interesting. chairman xiong waited to watch a good show. he could not help but sigh at luo feng¡¯s good luck. he had actually interacted with elder qiu by chance. moreover, his words were beautiful and flawless. no matter what, elder qiu would remember today¡¯s relationship in the future. with the help of a big shot, one could soar into the sky! ¡°could it be that this kid knew all along?¡± chairman xiong pondered for a moment and rejected this idea. he knew very well that luo feng treated everyone like this. the bidding was just an accident. he had no intention of snatching someone else¡¯s love. even if an ordinary old man wanted to buy this bracelet today, luo feng would give it to him with both hands. perhaps he wouldn¡¯t even change his reason. all living beings seemed to be equal in front of this young man. chairman xiong could not help but feel touched. this young man was limitless! in the future, he had to get closer to luo feng and earn money together! ¡°chairman luo, don¡¯t be happy. we¡¯re bidding for the fourth item.¡± chairman xiong became very enthusiastic. ¡°but i think you¡¯re not interested in the commemorative gown. let me introduce you to the big shots present.¡± ¡°ah? yes, thank you, chairman xiong.¡± luo feng did not understand why he felt that chairman xiong had suddenly become clingy. he looked in the direction that chairman xiong indicated and heard him say, ¡°that person will be of great help if he participates in the investment.¡± Chapter 357 - 357 A Shocking Performance, Kou Zhiyuans Finale Move! 357 a shocking performance, kou zhiyuan¡¯s finale move! chairman xiong knew all the information about the big shots present like the back of his hand. chairman xiong would be able to answer them fluently on anyone that luo feng laid his eyes on. he himself called this the merit of being unfaithful. to put it bluntly, doing business still depended on favors and information. chairman xiong was already determined to pull luo feng along to earn a lot of money. he was willing to share many resources. ¡°if you can get that person¡¯s temporary residence, your entertainment company will definitely have a smooth sailing!¡± chairman xiong was very confident. ¡°who is that?¡± luo feng asked curiously. ¡°the director of shanghai tv station¡¯s zuo mingjing. he doesn¡¯t usually appear at such a gala. i heard that he¡¯s here to repay a favor and help warm up the atmosphere,¡± chairman xiong explained. luo feng looked over and saw a slightly plump middle-aged man sitting at the back. his number plate was placed the furthest away from his hand. his expressionless face was facing the stage, and his black-framed glasses blocked his eyes, giving off an ordinary and unfathomable feeling. however, most of them were normal. if chairman xiong hadn¡¯t specially mentioned him, luo feng would have thought that he was an ordinary audience. ¡°director, you know this, right?¡± chairman xiong raised his eyebrows. ¡°even though the television station is weak now and the internet has become the main form of entertainment for young people, as the official endorsement platform, shanghai tv station has an influence that is much greater than a certain live streaming website!¡± luo feng nodded in agreement. ¡°that¡¯s true.¡± the microcosm was a short video platform after all. variety shows that lasted more than an hour were not suitable to be broadcasted on it. luo feng had been looking for a suitable video website. if it could be broadcasted directly on the television station, the popularity and platform problems could be resolved. ¡°i remember that shanghai tv station rarely broadcasts entertainment variety shows. it¡¯s a more serious television station,¡± luo feng said. ¡°that¡¯s right, but there¡¯s news that director zuo mingjing is looking for a breakthrough and wants to make a television program that even a young man likes,¡± chairman xiong said. the accuracy of his information was unquestionable. ¡°that¡¯s all i have to say. the rest will depend on your performance.¡± chairman xiong gave an expectant smile and turned to look at the fifth item on the stage. his words gave luo feng a hint. why was it always limited to the internet? being able to broadcast it on television was also an honor. take ¡°i want to sing¡± for example. as it was allocated during prime time, the audience ranged from teenage students to middle-aged people in their forties or fifties. it could be said that it included the most consumer groups. advertising sponsors who had appeared on the show had seen a huge increase in sales. chairman xiong¡¯s hint was rather constructive! ¡°boss, boss.¡± just as luo feng was deep in thought, xiao chun¡¯s voice came from behind. luo feng came back to his senses. ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°the auction is about to end, and it¡¯s time for the donation segment.¡± xiao chun waved her number tag. ¡°do we still have to bid?¡± ¡°no need.¡± luo feng looked ahead. they were about to enter the crucial donation segment. there would be a celebrity performance at the venue, followed by donations. luo feng had to find a break to show off the company¡¯s strength. at this moment, he remembered his opponent, kou zhiyuan, who was only one person away from him. they should be able to perform as well. sure enough, after a short cleaning up on stage, she carried a donation box and placed it on the right. ottilia dragged her long dress and went to the back to change into a set of performance clothes. she would probably go on stage to show her talent later. this was also a way to get donations for the charity gala. luo feng was holding an invitation from the amazon. he did not need to participate in the performance segment, so he did not prepare anything. the time left for luo feng to go on stage might only be more than ten seconds when he donated. as he was thinking, the host on the stage started the opening speech of the main event to pave the way for the subsequent performance. luo feng had something on his mind and did not listen carefully. ¡°next, let¡¯s welcome the final champion of ¡®i want to sing¡¯, miss ottilia, to sing ¡®our common world¡¯! applause!¡± as soon as the host¡¯s passionate voice fell, thunderous applause sounded. a gala, the first program, and the last program would leave a deep impression on people as long as they performed steadily. luo feng could roughly guess that in order for ottilia to be the first to appear, kou zhiyuan must have spent a lot of money and resources to make ottilia famous. on the stage, ottilia lifted her skirt and walked leisurely to the center of the stage. the light gathered on her body, and the diamonds on her clothes shone brightly. coupled with her elegant makeup, she looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. as soon as he opened his mouth, an ethereal voice immediately grabbed everyone¡¯s ears. the melodious song was like holy water that cleanses the soul. the audience was intoxicated by it, and they were still not satisfied after the song. ottilia¡¯s singing skills had improved a lot compared to the finals of ¡°i want to sing¡±. luo feng could not help but praise her talent. that good voice was really a blessing from the heavens. the typhoon was powerful, and her performance was very outstanding. if not for the fact that she was signed to the same company, luo feng would definitely poach this person over. ¡°what a beautiful voice!¡± tang jin looked at the stage with admiration. the applause below the stage lasted for a long time. ottilia walked down the stage generously, and the praise of the people around her was even more unheard of. as a result, the second program was slightly normal, and not many people watched it seriously. with such a perfect performance, the plan that luo feng had thought of at the beginning was dimmed. it was really difficult to find an impactful performance at the last minute! while luo feng was thinking, he inadvertently saw kou zhiyuan looking at him. kou zhiyuan didn¡¯t know if it was because he didn¡¯t look too good, but the arrogance in his smile was almost written all over his face. he even felt the pleasure of getting what he wanted. luo feng was a little stunned. why did he feel that the relationship between the two sides had worsened? was it because of the auction just now? he did not know that kou zhiyuan was indeed bearing a grudge against the auction, but it was not entirely because luo feng had won the bid for the bracelet. more importantly, he was bearing a grudge against luo feng for making connections that he could not. even though luo feng did not realize what this meant, it did not stop kou zhiyuan from treating him as a thorn in his side. kou zhiyuan was trying his best to fight for all the resources he could get. he was confident that ottilia would definitely be able to capture a certain sugar daddy with her moving song! this way, morris would have another layer of protection! in the end, innovative artist¡¯s lousy company could not win against him! the performance on the stage continued. luo feng was still worried. at this moment, a bodyguard in black walked in front of them and brought out a familiar box. he half-squatted in front of tang jin and said, ¡°miss, this is our master¡¯s gift to you.¡± ¡°me?¡± tang jin pointed at herself in confusion and then looked at the box. wasn¡¯t this the one she had given to the old man just now? ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± luo feng turned around and asked. he always subconsciously protected his employees. Chapter 358 - 358 Return Gift And New Skill Card! 358 return gift and new skill card! tang jin¡¯s first reaction when she saw the box was that it was rejected by the old man. this meant that she had not completed the mission luo feng had given her. she could not help but look at luo feng in panic. luo feng also received the signal accurately and said, ¡°i¡¯m her boss. tell me if there¡¯s anything.¡± the bodyguard held the box and said, ¡°this is a thank-you gift from my master to this lady. he asked me to tell this lady that he likes that golden bracelet very much. i don¡¯t know what gift to give in return for your kindness. i hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± hearing this, tang jin heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at luo feng. she said, ¡°as long as grandpa likes it. there¡¯s no need for the thank-you gift.¡± the bodyguard insisted, ¡°this is a token of my master¡¯s appreciation. please accept it.¡± tang jin did not know what was in the box. no matter what it was, the money for the gold bracelet was paid by luo feng. this thank-you gift should be given to luo feng. ¡°i didn¡¯t do anything. it was all our boss¡¯s idea,¡± tang jin said humbly and carefully pushed the box towards luo feng. ¡°since it¡¯s an old man¡¯s kind intentions, little jin, take it,¡± luo feng said with a smile. tang jin looked at luo feng, her eyes filled with uncertainty. in the end, with luo feng¡¯s support, she held the box with both hands and said shyly, ¡°thank the old man for me.¡± ¡°understood.¡± the bodyguard bowed slightly and left the audience. the few of them were very curious about the contents of the box. not only chairman xiong, but even kou zhiyuan¡¯s neck was almost stretched to the second row, and his face was facing the stage. he looked like he wanted to see it but didn¡¯t want to be discovered. it was very comical. xiaochun eagerly urged, ¡°quickly open it and see what it is.¡± he opened the box and realized that there was only a piece of paper inside. tang jin picked it up and handed it to luo feng immediately. the business card was a rare silver color. it was heavier than ordinary paper. the word ¡°qiu ji¡± was printed on it. on the other side was a coat of arms similar to a russian roulette wheel. there was no number or address. luo feng looked at it again and again. ¡°this looks like silver. chairman xiong, what do you think?¡± he handed it to chairman xiong and realized that the other party¡¯s eyes were already wide open, and his eyeballs were about to fall off the business card. ¡°what¡­ what¡¯s wrong?¡± luo feng asked curiously. chairman xiong took a deep breath. ¡°this¡­ this¡­ isn¡¯t this that! the legendary one!¡± ¡°which one?¡± luo feng, tang jin, and xiao chun were stunned. chairman xiong was so excited that he couldn¡¯t even suppress his voice. he quickly took the business card and placed it in the box. if there were conditions, he even wanted to lock it. he said softly, ¡°you¡¯ll know when you go back and check ¡®qiu ji¡¯. your luck is quite good.¡± luo feng was still at a loss. suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated crazily. luo feng picked it up and took a look. there was a different message in the long list of cash return notifications. [congratulations to the host for obtaining a ¡°gambling king¡¯s business card¡±. you have now received the omnipotent skill card as a cashback.] [card effect: you can obtain any skill that the host wishes for. there is no time limit, no place limit.] the moment he saw the contents, a numbing feeling ran through luo feng¡¯s entire body. he subconsciously reached into his pocket and a card appeared out of thin air. he took it out and looked at it. he had obtained another skill card after such a long time! this was because the gambling king¡¯s business card was considered tang jin¡¯s gain. it was a side product of luo feng¡¯s investment. it seemed that in order to match the value of the business card, he had returned such a heaven-defying omnipotent skill card! even if luo feng made a wish now, he could immediately realize it! ¡°why are you smiling foolishly with a lousy card?¡± chairman xiong looked at the card luo feng took out and didn¡¯t feel that there was anything special about it. ¡°nothing.¡± luo feng put away the ¡°omnipotent skill card¡± and pointed at the box. ¡°you haven¡¯t told me what this business card can do.¡± chairman xiong raised his eyebrows, wondering why luo feng was suddenly enlightened. like an encyclopedia, he explained, ¡°the silver business card of the gambling king, elder qiu, is to promise you a wish.¡± rumor had it that the gambling king¡¯s business card was divided into three types: gold, silver, and copper. the three levels represented the promise category of wishes. ¡°copper is for a millionaire, and silver is for a multimillionaire. i¡¯ve only heard of these two. as for the golden business card, i¡¯ve never heard of anyone getting it.¡± chairman xiong smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed. ¡°in other words, he will satisfy me if i say that i want to become a multimillionaire?¡± tang jin smiled innocently. ¡°it seems like aladdin¡¯s magic lamp.¡± ¡°it¡¯s a little superficial but it could be taken that way,¡± chairman xiong said. ¡°although i¡¯m not sure what the specific scope is, ordinary people¡¯s worldly wishes can be fulfilled.¡± this time, luo feng could not help but be surprised. no wonder he returned a powerful all-purpose skill card. the use of this business card was extraordinary. he did not expect that a one-million-yuan bracelet could actually be exchanged for a promise from the gambling king! ¡°what a powerful thing! boss, you must keep it well!¡± tang jin¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise, but she had no intention of taking it for herself. the gambling king have asked the bodyguard to give the things to tang jin because he liked this silly girl after all. ¡°they gave it to you,¡± luo feng said. he already had an omnipotent skill card, and the business card was originally for tang jin. ¡°i can¡¯t afford it.¡± tang jin retracted her hand and shook her head. she was even afraid. ¡°i¡¯m just an ordinary person. what do i need this for? of course, i have to hand it to you to be more useful.¡± tang jin had also seriously thought about what kind of wish she would make if she held the business card. probably a lot of money? however, with luo feng, she could already earn a lot of money and even gain the love of many netizens. after graduating in the future, there was a high chance that she would continue to work with luo feng. she would have money, leisure, and a good boss. when she had time, she could even study mathematics. this was probably the happy life of ordinary people. moreover, tang jin also knew that a man¡¯s wealth was his own ruin. she was very ordinary and weak. carrying a wish business card that exceeded her ability would attract many dangers. tang jin was not stupid. her current stable life was very comfortable and did not need any additional bonuses. hearing her reason, not only luo feng, but even chairman xiong was shocked. this girl looked young, but she actually understood life so well! ¡°chairman luo, your employees are indeed extraordinary.¡± chairman xiong gave him a thumbs up. whether a company could last depended on whether everyone was united. if everyone prioritized their own interests, to be in a state of disunity would not achieve anything. luo feng looked at the box thoughtfully. this could solve an urgent problem and the timing it came was very strange! chairman xiong saw through luo feng¡¯s thoughts. ¡°hey, hey, hey. don¡¯t tell me you want to use your business card here?¡± chairman xiong couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. ¡°yes, it¡¯s better to use it at the right time.¡± luo feng smiled and took out his business card again. Chapter 359 - 359 Another Appearance, Keep It For Now 359 another appearance, keep it for now luo feng immediately prepared to use this hard-won business card. he wanted to use the gambling king¡¯s power to clear up the relationship at the scene and let the innovative artist company obtain more attention. to luo feng, letting everyone present know that he had accepted the gambling king¡¯s kindness would definitely attract the attention of some people. the variety show that he was about to launch was the decisive battle of innovative artist. he wanted to expand his influence to the maximum! just as luo feng was about to take out his business card, another shadow covered him. luo feng looked up and realized that it was the female host of the auction. ¡°may i ask what¡¯s the matter?¡± luo feng asked. ¡°hello, mr. luo feng.¡± the female host squatted down and looked up at luo feng. ¡°i heard from chairman xiong that you want to give us valuable suggestions for this gala. if you don¡¯t mind, can you tell me?¡± luo feng looked at chairman xiong in surprise. when had he ever said such a thing? moreover, chairman xiong¡¯s breathing was rapid and his head was covered in sweat. his small eyes seemed to contain a lot of words. ¡°ahem, chairman luo, just say what you want to say,¡± chairman xiong hinted. luo feng immediately understood that chairman xiong had helped pull strings again. he expressed his thoughts to the female host, hoping that there would be someone who would speak up on stage to attract investments and advertisers. he would also donate to the star gathering party accordingly. before the female host came to look for luo feng, she had discussed with the higher-ups that she could make the decision. when she heard that luo feng was willing to donate additional funds, he smiled and said, ¡°can you represent amazon?¡± the organizers usually looked at the title of the invitation. luo feng said frankly, ¡°i¡¯m only a partner of amazons. i can¡¯t represent them.¡± when the female host heard this, she secretly glanced at chairman xiong, who was beside her, and her smile faded a little. she stood up and prepared to leave. luo feng added, ¡°but i can represent the innovative artist company and make a donation. what¡¯s the largest donation amount here?¡± ¡°i heard it¡¯s two million,¡± chairman xiong said. ¡°then i¡¯ll donate three million,¡± luo feng said casually. when the female host heard this, she immediately smiled and squatted down again. ¡°the person who donated the most funds will be invited to speak on stage. mr. luo, do you think this arrangement is okay?¡± ¡°of course, 10 minutes will do.¡± luo feng smiled and nodded. ¡°alright, no problem. i¡¯ll arrange it for you immediately!¡± the female host smiled until her facial features were almost invisible. she ran backstage in her high heels. chairman xiong heaved a sigh of relief. he had already decided to cooperate with luo feng. he hoped that luo feng could keep the gambling king business card as his trump card until the end. usually, he would only use it when the company was in a life and death situation. chairman xiong couldn¡¯t bear to see such a waste, so he personally went backstage to communicate with the staff. easy mentioned that luo feng was favored by the gambling king and was even given a one-color business card. the organizer immediately understood that luo feng¡¯s background was not ordinary. he found a female host to negotiate with him and gave a 10 minute speech time on stage. he earned three million yuan in donations for nothing! anyone with a clear mind would agree to this deal. luo feng smiled. ¡°thank you, chairman xiong.¡± chairman xiong snorted proudly, feeling like he had fallen into luo feng¡¯s trap. when he was able to catch his breath, chairman xiong said, ¡°i say, did you not calculate it well? three million for 10 minutes of speaking time. with such a short amount of time, it¡¯s not certain if you can pull in three million for investment.¡± ¡°how would i know if i don¡¯t try? besides, i earn money to spend,¡± luo feng said with a smile. chairman xiong did not expect to hear such an arrogant statement from a young man. he was momentarily speechless. the performance on stage ended. in the last segment, the female host went on stage again. she held a thick script in her hand and read the names of the donors one by one. then, the representative went on stage to shake hands with the host and accept the applause of the audience. they stood together to take photos. this was the fixed process of the star gathering party. there were celebrities and entrepreneurs on stage, and it was also a good opportunity to leave an impression on each other. of course, the person who donated the most received the most attention. luo feng would not let any single cent go to waste. ¡°mr. luo feng from the innovative artist company, donated three million yuan!¡± the host read out the last name passionately. whoosh! the applause was thunderous. the audience knew that this was the person who had contributed the most and was the most generous! as the music played, the guests knew that the gala was about to end. no matter what they were doing or how much they were chatting, they stopped what they were doing and looked at the last exciting scene on stage. after the host shook luo feng¡¯s hand, he handed the microphone to luo feng. the music at the venue also tacitly became much softer. luo feng held the microphone and took a deep breath. ¡°i¡¯m very honored to be able to stand on the stage of the star gathering party. i¡¯m also very grateful for the organizer¡¯s invitation to let me see such an exciting program.¡± at this moment, be it the donation representative standing on the stage waiting for the photo to be taken, or the audience sitting below the stage, they were all surprised by this scene. he had never heard of a final speech. everyone realized that this young man on the stage was definitely not simple. they immediately became interested and wanted to hear what luo feng could say. luo feng continued, ¡°i believe everyone present is very puzzled as to why i¡¯m standing here. i want to say that i¡¯m not standing here to represent the innovative artist company, but to represent more than a hundred trainees with no background and no one to rely on.¡± kou zhiyuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. it was as if there were nails on his butt as he looked uneasily at luo feng on the stage. it couldn¡¯t be that they were talking about each other here, right? ¡°on behalf of these trainees, i¡¯m sending out an invitation to everyone present. we¡¯re preparing a variety show for stage competition, hoping to obtain more support and promotion.¡± luo feng smiled. everyone immediately understood that this was a live investment promotion. it had to be said that his attitude was a little underhanded, especially on the stage of the charity gala. even though many of the people present were vendors and could use all kinds of methods for benefits, this did not stop them from mocking luo feng. the speech could be said to be ordinary. luo feng still had a confident smile. at this moment, when he switched his hands to the microphone, a silver card dropped out of his pocket. everyone could see it clearly because it was too eye-catching. the female host hurriedly picked it up. the moment she saw it clearly, she was stunned. her good professional attainment immediately allowed her to recover her state of mind. she also began to help pass on the message while returning it to luo feng. ¡°mr. luo feng¡¯s idea is really interesting. is it convenient for you to tell us the details?¡± luo feng said, ¡°the trainees have a common dream. i¡¯m in charge of conveying it, especially in the atmosphere of the charity gala. i feel that i have an obligation to help them, so i¡¯m standing here to speak up for them.¡± ¡°i also hope that they, who are ordinary, can have a stage where they can shine.¡± Chapter 360 - 360 The Director Is Watching You, Good Luck 360 the director is watching you, good luck no one cared what luo feng meant. everyone present only remembered what stage competition variety show he wanted to organize. the rest only remembered the silver card. coupled with the host¡¯s instinctive reaction, it looked too real and not fake. they had reason to believe that the card was what they thought it was. ¡°thank you for your speech, mr. luo feng. come, we¡¯re going to start taking photos now.¡± the supporter continued the process. luo feng felt that he was a young junior and was standing at the furthest corner. however, he could not withstand his three million yuan donation and the business card that had just fallen out. everyone¡¯s gazes were on him. after the process on stage ended, colorful ribbons flew down, and the audience applauded again. the people on the stage greeted each other humbly, shook hands, and laughed. luo feng walked down the stage silently. when the cameras turned off, many people instantly changed their expressions and surrounded luo feng. ¡°mr. luo feng, this is focus entertainment. we¡¯re very interested in your variety show and want to chat with you!¡± ¡°our company needs to collaborate on advertising. please take my business card.¡± ¡°may i ask what are the conditions for the registration of trainees? i have a few suitable candidates here. can we have a private chat?¡± ¡°have you considered a partner for the exclusive broadcasting rights? our station¡¯s qualifications are very good!¡± many people surrounded luo feng and handed him business cards like crazy. luo feng was squeezed in the middle. even if he had ten mouths, he could not deal with so many people. xiao chun and tang jin saw that their boss was about to be squeezed out of shape. they wanted to help, but they couldn¡¯t squeeze in. they could only worry outside the crowd. ¡°hmph, i bet they didn¡¯t understand what your boss meant.¡± blair was standing behind xiao chun and tang jin, looking at them like they were monkeys. when xiao chun saw blair¡¯s long arms and legs, she begged, ¡°mr. blair? i can¡¯t ask you to help pull our boss out. you can definitely do it!¡± blair took a look and shook his head. ¡°with this tightness, even hercules can¡¯t pull it out.¡± ¡°aiya! everyone, don¡¯t squeeze. let¡¯s talk slowly!¡± tang jin was extremely worried. she was afraid that luo feng would break from squeezing. she tried to maintain order, but no one listened to her. ¡°that¡¯s right. what can¡¯t we talk about slowly?¡± blair said sarcastically. hearing this, xiao chun thought to herself that blair was indeed different from ordinary people. just as she was about to change her opinion of him, she saw blair holding a business card between two fingers and extending it in front of xiao chun. ¡°i know you can speak to your boss. help me ask if you can hand over the stage costume design to me.¡± blair winked at xiao chun. ¡°i¡¯ll wait for your call.¡± xiao chun was shocked by his words and took the business card in a daze. by the time she reacted, blair was gone. more than half of the people around luo feng had left. there was only a pile of business cards left in his arms. those who did not bring their business cards left their contact details on a tissue. ¡°that¡¯s crazy.¡± luo feng heaved a sigh of relief. his decent suit had been pulled out of shape. ¡°isn¡¯t this what you want?¡± chairman xiong rarely saw luo feng in such a sorry state. he teased, ¡°didn¡¯t you deliberately drop your business card for this?¡± it had to be said that luo feng was really smart. he knew that using a business card could quickly attract everyone¡¯s attention. even if he stood on stage without saying a word or did a belly dance on the spot, when he took out the gambling king¡¯s business card, most people would applaud and praise him for dancing well. they would also ask if he could start a class to teach. luo feng smiled and said, ¡°my influence is limited, so i can only use this method.¡± chairman xiong did not deny that luo feng was smart, but the most important person would not personally give him a business card. he looked at the audience and gestured for luo feng¡¯s left director to sit. he had yet to leave and was looking over. luo feng revealed a serious expression and handed the business card to xiao chun and tang jin. ¡°give it to me after you¡¯ve sorted it out.¡± then, he straightened his suit and smoothed out the creases on it. he strode towards the director on the left. ¡°hello, director on the left. why are you sitting here alone?¡± ¡°yes,¡± the director replied coldly. ¡°they drove off. i¡¯ll take a seat before leaving.¡± luo feng sat beside the director on the left and thought about how to start the conversation. the director said first, ¡°the trainees you were talking about just now, are they the children who caused an uproar online?¡± ¡°yes, they terminated their contracts with the original company and came to me,¡± luo feng said truthfully. ¡°there were a lot of them and i didn¡¯t know how to settle them, so i wanted to launch a group variety show.¡± ¡°yes.¡± the director nodded, still very cold. luo feng sat at the side and was at a loss. the old director¡¯s aura was different. luo feng wanted to speak a few times, but he was blocked by the director¡¯s ¡°don¡¯t want to talk¡± expression. after sitting with him for a while, luo feng¡¯s intuition told him that it was better not to speak. ten minutes later, a young man walked to the left director¡¯s side. ¡°director, the car is already at the entrance.¡± ¡°yes.¡± the director was still a man of few words. he helped the young man up. only then did luo feng realize that one of the left director¡¯s feet was wrapped in gauze, so it was not convenient for him to walk. he immediately stood up and held the left director¡¯s other hand. the director glanced at him and silently let go of the young man in front of him. just like that, luo feng helped the director to the door and helped drive the car. he did not say a word during this period. ¡°thank you, boss luo,¡± the left director suddenly said. this was the longest sentence he had said so far. luo feng smiled. ¡°it¡¯s my duty. take care.¡± ¡°wait.¡± the director stopped luo feng. ¡°this is the director¡¯s business card. if you need anything, you can contact him.¡± ¡°huh?¡± luo feng was flattered and took the business card. the director continued, ¡°when i saw your performance on stage just now, i thought you were a rash young man. to be honest, i don¡¯t think you¡¯re very reliable.¡± ¡°if you kept pestering me just now, i definitely wouldn¡¯t have given you my business card. but now, it seems that you know what to say in a situation. although this isn¡¯t as useful as your silver business card, it should be able to resolve your troubles. as for the rest, it¡¯s up to you.¡± ¡°thank you, director zuo,¡± luo feng said happily. it turned out that director zuo thought that he would only use the gambling king¡¯s business card to promote himself, so he ignored him at the beginning. however, luo feng held back his nonsense and made director zuo change his mind. looking at the departing car, luo feng held the business card and looked at it again and again. ¡°boss!¡± xiao chun and tang jin chased after him with three gift boxes in their hands. when the two of them saw the name card in luo feng¡¯s hand, they said in surprise, ¡°it¡¯s done?¡± ¡°just now, chairman xiong said that director zuo has a strange temper and is unpredictable. you¡¯ve already obtained his approval?¡± tang jin was so happy that she jumped like a rabbit. ¡°boss, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Chapter 361 - 361 So You Did It On Purpose! 361 so you did it on purpose! after the star gathering party ended, luo feng¡¯s life returned to normal. the only difference was that there were many calls. many companies who wanted to cooperate at the gala remembered that they did not know what the variety show luo feng was talking about looked like. they began to hurriedly fight for an opportunity when they saw the gambling king¡¯s business card, and because they did not want their competitors to have a chance. hence, they found luo feng¡¯s contact information online and asked for the details. luo feng found it troublesome, so he handed the phone to yang tianzhen and asked him and benson to discuss the cooperation. for a few days in a row, he saw yang tianzhen and gang lying on the sofa, looking at the ceiling and doubting their lives. they were surrounded by a pile of documents, and it was very tiring to look at them. they carried her homework to the courtyard and saw luo feng brewing tea under the pavilion. he was looking at the green fields with a smile and was very satisfied. compared to him, yang tianzhen was rather pitiful. ¡°boss.¡± tang jin walked to the pavilion and sat down. ¡°i don¡¯t know how to answer a question.¡± ¡°huh?¡± luo feng took tang jin¡¯s exercise book and looked at it. ¡°this is easy. simplify this first, then find the pattern, then¡­¡± tang jin held the pen and followed luo feng¡¯s instructions to solve the calculation questions that had troubled her for two days. ¡°it¡¯s true! boss, you¡¯re amazing!¡± tang jin hugged the exercise book and kissed it again and again. she took a photo and sent it to the dormitory group. her roommates, who were also troubled by the practice questions, saw it and were so grateful that they called her their benefactor. the emojis kneeling and thanking her made tang jin¡¯s vanity extremely satisfied. ¡°what are you laughing at?¡± luo feng poured her a glass of water. ¡°your molars are showing.¡± ¡°boss, you don¡¯t understand.¡± tang jin put away her phone and exercise book with a smile. ¡°ever since i started working part-time here, my studies and savings are the top in my dormitory. no! it¡¯s the best in my class!¡± she wasn¡¯t exaggerating at all. the salary luo feng gave was generous. working leisurely in the farmhouse for a day was more than what his classmates earned from part-time tutoring for a week. moreover, with a mathematics star student like luo feng around, tang jin¡¯s homework was no longer difficult. even the professor who was teaching looked at tang jin¡¯s homework and clicked his tongue in wonder. he even said that he wanted to take tang jin in as his last disciple and focus on nurturing her! ¡°boss, do you know? when i rejected our professor, he was especially surprised. as soon as i said your name, he left awkwardly. hahaha!¡± tang jin couldn¡¯t stop laughing. the funniest thing was that a professor came to look for her and asked luo feng if he could attend a lecture. ¡°forget about the lecture. i can try to solve them if there are any problems.¡± luo feng chuckled. if professor vincent found out that he was giving a lecture now, he might be called back to his alma mater for a public lecture every month. ¡°boss, you¡¯re too kind. you¡¯re really omnipotent¡­ hmm, that doesn¡¯t seem to be the right word,¡± tang jin muttered. in the past, she had indeed felt that luo feng was omnipotent. however, during the star gathering party, she realized that luo feng might not be able to perform well on stage. after all, when she thought about it, she did not quite understand what luo feng had said. ¡°why do you say that?¡± luo feng was puzzled. ¡°because you went on stage to speak that day?¡± tang jin was shocked. she covered her head and said, ¡°boss, do you really not know how to read minds?¡± how did he know about this? luo feng grinned. ¡°because i feel that i¡¯m being ridiculous. sometimes, words are useless. showing something practical is more attractive.¡± hence, she only needed to understand the purpose that day. as for the rest, what was more attractive than the gambling king¡¯s business card? even though this was the first time luo feng had heard of the gambling king¡¯s name, he knew from chairman xiong¡¯s reaction that he was definitely an influential figure. furthermore, he was the type that everyone wanted to get some connections with. he suddenly understood why the gambling king would dress so low-key when he came to bid for something he wanted. tang jin suddenly realized that she had been too shallow! ¡°boss¡­¡± she was about to praise him when luo feng raised his hand and stopped her. ¡°there¡¯s no need to praise me. do your homework.¡± hearing his coaxing tone, tang jin pouted. ¡°you¡¯re not happy even if i praise you.¡± ¡°xiao jin? let¡¯s get to work!¡± at this moment, xiao chun¡¯s voice came from the kitchen. after she finished cooking, it was time to film tang jin eating. tang jin threw her homework into luo feng¡¯s arms and skipped away. luo feng opened the exercise book and took a cursory look. he did not find any obvious mistakes, so he placed it on the stool, stood up, and walked into the room. he saw yang tianzhen and benson¡¯s souls leaving their bodies. ¡°how is it?¡± luo feng pulled a stool and sat opposite the two of them. yang tianzhen flicked it and immediately snapped out of her daze. she took out a document and handed it to luo feng. ¡°this is the collaboration list that was filtered out. just sign the contracts one by one.¡± luo feng flipped through the documents. there were more than ten advertisements for collaboration alone. behind the names of each company, the conditions for collaboration were written in red. ¡°some conditions are too much. we¡¯ll discuss this in detail when you sign the contract.¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s voice was lazy and very tired. ¡°the blue pen is an acceptable range. you can use it as a reference when you negotiate.¡± luo feng nodded and asked, ¡°how¡¯s the contestant¡¯s situation?¡± benson said, ¡°a few hundred people survived. 300 people were selected to enter the pre-selection, and 30 contestants were selected to compete on the stage. a little more or less¡­ is fine¡­¡± his voice trailed off. their eyes opened and closed as if they would fall asleep in the next second. ¡°the two of you go and rest first. leave the rest to me.¡± luo feng picked up the document and called the two of them to rest first. yang tianzhen instantly woke up and got up. he forced his eyes open and said, ¡°boss, i¡¯ll go with you!¡± he was worried that luo feng would not have any experience and would be at a disadvantage when signing the contract. ¡°there¡¯s no need. the lady boss was from the debating club in her university. she definitely won¡¯t suffer a loss if she negotiates,¡± luo feng said. yang tianzhen shook his head and forced his spirit to accompany him. after taking two steps, he realized that he was floating. ¡°forget it, forget it. i¡¯ll only cause trouble if i go.¡± ¡­ holding the list of potential collaborators, luo feng drove to good me and quickly walked into the company. ¡°president luo, you¡¯re here. we watched the live broadcast of yesterday¡¯s gala. you¡¯re so handsome!¡± ¡°yeah, he¡¯s not inferior to celebrities at all!¡± ¡°your speech is also very interesting. it fits the theme of charity!¡± what a rub of someone¡¯s nose in it. luo feng looked at the employees who praised his speech and revealed a self-deprecating smile. ¡°where¡¯s your boss?¡± luo feng asked. ¡°why didn¡¯t she come out to welcome me?¡± Chapter 362 - 362 Busy Signing Work, Take It Down! 362 busy signing work, take it down! coincidentally, ai tingya pushed open the door and came out of the office. she was a little surprised to see luo feng. ¡°why are you here?¡± luo feng waved the document in his hand and said, ¡°of course i¡¯m here to ask the boss about the company¡¯s future development path.¡± the two of them walked into the office. ai tingya flipped through the documents. ¡°do we have to sign these contracts one by one?¡± the dozen or so advertisers were really surprised by ai tingya. ¡°that¡¯s right. this doesn¡¯t include gathering sift and good me. these two brands have the largest advertising space,¡± luo feng said with a smile. ¡°i think seven or eight of them are requesting to occupy the center position, so this matter might take a while.¡± ¡°alright, let¡¯s go then.¡± ai tingya was a decisive career woman. she left without any hesitation. this was because luo feng had other things to do, such as making an appointment with a mentor, contacting the venue, and arranging a dormitory. ai tingya took care of the rest. along the way, she called to make an appointment and even wrote a draft contract while waiting for someone. ai tingya¡¯s secretary was driving. the two of them were one in front and the other behind. one of them was holding a computer and the other was holding a phone by her ear. the secretary looked at the two of them¡¯s super efficient work and could not help but secretly exclaim. were these two bosses even human? could one person do the work of three people?! the secretary recalled that when she was busy, she would secretly complain that ai tingya had arranged too much work for her. now that she looked at it, ai tingya had actually gone easy on her. shanghai was not big, but the road was a little congested. the secretary parked the car downstairs of the first target company. she waited downstairs while ai tingya and luo feng went up to discuss a collaboration. thinking that finalizing a collaboration was not something that could be done in a short period of time, the secretary took out her phone and prepared to play a game. it would take about 10 minutes. it would take at least half an hour to discuss a collaboration, and at most half a day. the secretary thought that even if the two of them came down, she would have finished fighting. she would not delay her work, nor would she go offline at the last minute to cheat her teammates. just as the team was about to start the battle, the secretary licked her lips and prepared to fight. dong, dong, dong¡ª someone knocked on the windowpane. the secretary rolled her eyes and thought to herself, ¡®why is someone disturbing me even though i¡¯m clearly parked in a public parking space?¡¯ she saw luo feng and ai tingya standing outside the car. ¡°president ai? president luo? why did you come down so quickly?¡± the secretary hurriedly put away her phone, crying in her heart. ¡°we¡¯re done.¡± ai tingya sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt. ¡°let¡¯s go to the next restaurant.¡± she sent the address to her secretary¡¯s phone. the secretary muttered in her heart. even if she went upstairs to borrow the toilet, it was impossible for her to come down so quickly. why? did she come here just for a signing ceremony? she stole a glance at the two busy people while waiting for the traffic light to turn green. she realized that ai tingya was adjusting the details of the contract. her slender fingers were dancing on the keyboard, leaving afterimages. ¡°oh my god, i am with such a powerful person!¡± the secretary was shocked and had a new understanding of her boss. just like that, the same process was repeated seven to eight times. luo feng and ai tingya could sign the contract whenever, wherever. if it weren¡¯t for the fact that she was afraid of delaying things, the secretary would have followed them to see with her own eyes how eloquent and charming the two of them had obtained cooperation after cooperation. after leaving the ninth company, luo feng said, ¡°let¡¯s stop here for today. we¡¯ll talk about the rest tomorrow.¡± ¡°what¡¯s wrong? there¡¯s still time,¡± ai tingya retorted. luo feng smiled and said, ¡°it¡¯s time to get off work. don¡¯t delay her.¡± the secretary smiled awkwardly. ¡°i¡¯m fine. the company¡¯s performance is more important.¡± she thought of ai tingya¡¯s rigorous work ethic. if she wanted to stay in the company and get a high salary, she could not drag her boss down because of a small matter like getting off work on time. however, luo feng said, ¡°our company will never work overtime unless there are special circumstances! how about this? three times the overtime salary or go home now. which do you choose?¡± the secretary shrunk her neck when she heard that. she did not dare to ask for moreinstead, she turned her head to see ai tingya¡¯s reaction. the actual boss of good me was ai tingya after all. even if the secretary knew that ai tingya was very obedient to luo feng, she would still wait for her boss to speak. ¡°indeed, you can¡¯t work overtime for free.¡± ai tingya nodded in agreement. ¡°it¡¯s up to you to choose.¡± ¡°uh¡­¡± of course, the secretary wanted to go home. while three times her salary sounded like a lot, she could only work overtime for two hours at most tonight. this little time would not make much money, so she would rather go back to her rented house and lie down. the secretary thought for a moment and said, ¡°regardless of whether it¡¯s booking a client or visiting a client, the dinner incident seems very informal. moreover, according to the speed at which president ai and president luo sign the contract, it won¡¯t delay anything if it¡¯s done tomorrow. can i¡­ choose to get off work on time?¡± ¡°take a look,¡± luo feng said to ai tingya. ¡°you should learn from the working attitude of a secretary. if you have to go to work, go to work, and rest, that¡¯s all for today.¡± the secretary lowered her head in embarrassment. how could she dare to compare herself to ai tingya? this time, it was luo feng¡¯s turn to drive the secretary home before returning to the villa with ai tingya. both of them were tired so they ate some food and fell asleep. the next day, eight o¡¯clock in the morning. the secretary arrived at luo feng¡¯s house on time and drove the two of them to the next company. the contract work lasted for a total of three days. luo feng finalized a total of 25 advertising sponsors, three broadcasting platforms, and the right to broadcast during the prime time of shanghai tv station. at the same time, he pulled in 60 million yuan. during this period, many advertisers proposed to send trainees to their side. moreover, they were either the boss¡¯s daughter or the children of close relatives. on account of their cooperation, they had to agree under normal circumstances. moreover, they had to take care of each other during the process. however, luo feng only had one answer. ¡°they can sign up for the pre-selection. for the sake of fairness, there will be no preferential treatment.¡± many business partners had an impression that luo feng was arrogant and did not understand the unspoken rules. due to luo feng¡¯s influence, if they gave up on this condition, the corresponding funds would be lesser. luo feng did not care about money. he had hired advertisers to expand the show¡¯s reputation. his original intention for doing the variety show was for the trainees to find a stage. if he were to hire a rich young lady from the east and hire a rich young lady from the west, and the entire show was filled with people with connections, would the normal trainees still have a chance? ai tingya agreed with this point. she was outstanding and had luo feng¡¯s protection. she had almost never suffered any grievances since she was in her second year of high school. however, after ai tingya came out of the orphanage, she knew that it was very difficult for people with no money or power to take every step. ¡°now that the partners have been decided, what should we do next?¡± on the way back, ai tingya asked luo feng, ¡°is there anything else you need me to do?¡± ¡°i¡¯m almost done preparing. i¡¯ll start recording soon.¡± luo feng thought for a moment and suddenly said seriously, ¡°oh no, there¡¯s a very important segment i forgot!¡± Chapter 363 - 363 The Conditions For Finding An Emcee Are So Strict! 363 the conditions for finding an emcee are so strict! ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± ai tingya also became nervous. luo feng grinned. ¡°i forgot about the most important emcee!¡± ai tingya thought that it was a big deal. ¡°manager yang should know a lot of good emcees. it¡¯s not too late to get him to contact them now. you can even give him a higher salary.¡± unknowingly, ai tingya¡¯s view of consumption was also affected by luo feng. she felt that as long as it was something that could be settled with money, it did not count as a problem. actually, luo feng already had a candidate for the emcee in his heart. ¡°no, good emcees have fixed emceeing schedules. no one will be willing if we add on to their schedules. besides, the emcee has to control the entire venue. only a very experienced emcee can hold on¡­¡± he rambled on and on. ai tingya became more and more confused as she listened. in the end, ai tingya concluded that this was a very serious matter that could not be dealt with rashly! ¡°go to the farmhouse¡¯s small courtyard immediately!¡± ai tingya asked luo feng to turn the car around without any explanation. ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± luo feng was halfway through his poof when he thought that ai tingya had remembered something important. ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°it¡¯s better to ask a professional about this. manager yang will definitely know better. i¡¯ll ask him,¡± ai tingya said. ¡°???¡± luo feng was at a loss. ¡®is there a problem, husband, that i can¡¯t solve? must it be a professional?¡¯ with a belly full of doubts, the two of them drove to the farmyard. at this moment, xiaochun and the rest were busy filming a new video. yang tianzhen and benson were screening the name list under the gazebo. both of their expressions were heavier than the other. seeing luo feng and ai tingya arrive, the four solemn faces looked at each other. the variety show was about to start filming, and it was about to begin. the more things happened, the more the four of them thought that the other party had encountered a difficult problem. the atmosphere in the entire farmyard instantly decreased. ¡°manager yang, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. we happened to be looking for you,¡± ai tingya said. ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± yang tianzhen gave up her seat and said while holding the name list, ¡°coincidentally, i also have something to ask boss for his opinion.¡± ¡°you first.¡± ¡°no, no, no. boss, you go first.¡± realizing that the matter was very serious, the four of them frowned. ai tingya was the first to speak. ¡°we just remembered that we haven¡¯t found an emcee yet!¡± ¡°huh?¡± yang tianzhen broke down in a second. the emcee was indeed very important to the show. he had to control the flow of the entire venue after all, but there were still solutions. ever since the star gathering party, people in the industry had seen the strength of the innovative artist company. yang tianzhen¡¯s connections had also been restored. she could still find an emcee. ¡°let luo feng tell you the details. he knows better,¡± ai tingya said. luo feng smiled bitterly and smacked his lips. he had overacted just now, causing ai tingya to misunderstand that the emcee¡¯s problem was very serious. he felt that if he didn¡¯t make the problem serious, he wouldn¡¯t be able to trick ai tingya into going on stage. he didn¡¯t expect to fail halfway and even specially come to the farmhouse. ¡°boss, state your conditions. i¡¯ll see if there are any suitable candidates,¡± yang tianzhen said seriously. he held a pen in one hand and a piece of paper in the other, preparing to record the key points. the more serious he was, the more complicated luo feng felt. ¡°ahem, firstly, our show has a total of ten episodes. we record one episode every week. other than the stage, we also record the training lives of the contestants.¡± luo feng could only forcefully continue. ¡°yes.¡± yang tianzhen nodded and quickly wrote something on the paper. ¡°the stage will more or less mention the daily lives of the contestants. after all, this is also the selling point of the competitive variety show, so the emcee needs to take time out to watch the video,¡± luo feng said. he was not spouting nonsense. some contestants also needed supporters to emphasize their highlights so that the audience would have a deeper feeling. yang tianzhen nodded. ¡°that¡¯s why our emcees have to specialize in our variety programs. otherwise, it will affect other programs.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± luo feng admired yang tianzhen¡¯s comprehension ability very much. this could also help him make things right. hearing luo feng¡¯s request, yang tianzhen frowned even more. ¡°this eliminates many people.¡± a good emcee would have a fixed emceeing schedule. it was impossible for someone to push a cradle-to-grave job to emcee a variety show with only ten episodes. luo feng continued, ¡°secondly, there¡¯s no need for me to emphasize the fact that you¡¯re experienced, right? the contestants are all young people with very strong personalities. it¡¯s very easy to get into conflicts. at this time, someone with weight should meditate in the middle to prevent affecting the collective harmony.¡± yang tianzhen nodded in agreement. ¡°boss is right. we do need someone with weight.¡± many people flashed through his mind. the younger ones didn¡¯t have any weight, and the older ones were afraid that they wouldn¡¯t be able to handle the situation if they didn¡¯t have enough experience. the older ones were also afraid that the emceeing style didn¡¯t match the show. ¡°thirdly, there has to be a certain level of topicality.¡± luo feng emphasized, ¡°after all, our show is a young variety show and it¡¯s broadcasted during prime time. we have to have a face that can attract people to keep the audience who wants to change channels!¡± ¡°this¡­¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s head was in a mess. in his decades of impression, there had never been an emcee who met all the requirements. he looked at benson, hoping that benson could find it in his memory, but the latter was also confused. ¡°how is it? are there any suitable candidates?¡± ai tingya asked. yang tianzhen shook his head. ¡°if even you can¡¯t find such a person, where should we find him?¡± ai tingya asked in disappointment. as expected, this matter was more serious than she had imagined. ¡°if it really doesn¡¯t work out, let¡¯s lower our requirements,¡± benson suggested. ¡°i know a new actor who¡¯s very popular among the young people. he¡¯s also calm and not arrogant or rash. if he¡¯s cross-border emceeing this problem, i remember that old yang knows a retired old emcee. can he go to the old emcee¡¯s place for training?¡± ¡°that¡¯s a good idea!¡± yang tianzhen said happily. ¡°and there¡¯s still time for training!¡± then, yang tianzhen¡¯s expression darkened again. ¡°but the old emcee likes smart young people, the kind who understand everything at once. how¡¯s that new actor¡¯s educational background?¡± ¡°hmm¡­¡± benson¡¯s drawl had already explained the problem. the few of them were in a dilemma. they lowered their heads gloomily and kept scratching their scalps. luo feng was waiting for this moment. he smiled and said, ¡°i have a candidate.¡± ¡°who is it?¡± the three of them raised their heads in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation. ¡°it¡¯s right in front of you!¡± luo feng pointed at ai tingya and said, ¡°there¡¯s no better candidate than your lady boss.¡± ¡°huh!?¡± yang tianzhen and benson gasped. the two of them seriously sized up ai tingya with a professional gaze. after a while, yang tianzhen said very seriously, ¡°you don¡¯t say, you don¡¯t say. the lady boss does look like a celebrity! it¡¯s not impossible for her to go to the training camp!¡± Chapter 364 - 364 The Best Candidate, Ai Tingya! Any objections? 364 the best candidate, ai tingya! any objections? yang tianzhen had seen ai tingya perform on stage many years ago. at that time, he felt that ai tingya had the looks of a celebrity and wanted to sign her as an actress. yang tianzhen also felt that there was no problem with ai tingya being an emcee. however, benson had a different opinion. ¡°wait a minute. the lady boss is indeed very beautiful, but being an emcee is a very professional job. i wonder if the lady boss will get stage fright when she goes on stage?¡± yang tianzhen acted like a loyal fan. ¡°of course not. you don¡¯t know the lady boss¡¯s aura. she definitely won¡¯t lose to any celebrity.¡± benson had just joined them and could not understand what yang tianzhen meant. luo feng had made so many requests earlier, but they could not find a suitable candidate in the industry. even though that young actor was not from a professional school, he at least had experience on the stage and knew what to say and what not to say. benson knew that ai tingya was a successful career woman. she had started a company in shanghai at a young age. however, different professions were different worlds. benson felt that he could not be so careless. ¡°lady boss, don¡¯t worry, but the job of an emcee isn¡¯t as easy as you think,¡± benson said. yang tianzhen said in the tone of a senior, ¡°you don¡¯t understand. let the boss answer it personally.¡± benson was skeptical. he flipped open his notebook and said, ¡°the first point that the boss mentioned is that she needs to be on a variety show and emcee this show professionally, taking a lot of time.¡± luo feng smiled and pointed at himself. who would dare to deduct a boss¡¯s salary for skipping work? no, and luo feng could take over good me¡¯s business completely without any impact. ¡°i see.¡± benson gritted his teeth. this was the first time he felt the benefits of being a boss. he could do whatever he wanted. he was very free. ¡°secondly, the emcee is experienced and his words carry weight.¡± benson could not help but laugh. he was definitely not satisfied with his experience! luo feng said, ¡°i¡¯m already looking for the old emcee for the training who is experienced enough to pass. besides, since my words carry weight. does the lady boss¡¯s words not?¡± benson tactfully lowered his head. the organizer¡¯s lady boss was indeed very influential. who would dare to offend her? moreover, as the boss of good me milk tea, ai tingya usually appeared on television. she was the model of outstanding young people in university entrepreneurship programs. almost all demons had these interview requests and would look for ai tingya. ¡°hmm¡­ hmm, the third point¡­¡± the more benson spoke, the less confident he became. ¡°the third point is that there¡¯s a topic to talk about and a face that can attract¡­ attract the audience.¡± there was no need for luo feng to explain. ai tingya¡¯s beauty was obvious to all. when she was in university, she had once become the goddess of the entire school with a photo and boosted the sales of the milk tea shop. in the past two years, she had added a mature woman¡¯s temperament and charm. ¡°i¡¯m not boasting, but it¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that your lady boss¡¯s face is charming.¡± as the number one person who liked to praise his wife, luo feng was not shy at all when he praised ai tingya. ¡°indeed.¡± the two nodded at the same time. ¡°your lady boss is going to be the emcee. the only thing you have to worry about is that the audience will only look at her and not the contestants.¡± luo feng¡¯s face was still, not the least embarrassed. benson was speechless. the most terrifying thing was that he actually felt that luo feng was not exaggerating at all. ai tingya indeed had the ability. ¡°there¡¯s one last point.¡± luo feng asked on benson¡¯s behalf. ¡°the old emcee likes smart people. let¡¯s categorize them as having high academic qualifications for the time being. look at your lady boss!¡± ¡°graduate from oxford!¡± yang tianzhen could not hide her excitement. ¡°boss, you¡¯re wise. the lady boss is indeed the best candidate!¡± ¡°right?¡± luo feng found someone who could resonate. looking at benson again, his expression showed that he had been convinced. however, he still felt that something was wrong and did not want to admit it so quickly. ¡°luo feng.¡± ai tingya blushed and tugged at the corner of luo feng¡¯s shirt. she said like a little rabbit, ¡°stop talking.¡± just now, she could not interrupt at all. she felt a little helpless when she heard luo feng praise her so much. ¡°did i say something wrong?¡± luo feng bent down and pinched ai tingya¡¯s little face. ¡°i¡¯m telling the truth.¡± ¡°to tell the truth, you¡­¡± ai tingya was too embarrassed to speak. seeing the two of them love each other so sweetly, benson finally realized what was wrong. the boss obviously had this idea long ago! they had come all the way here to look for him and yang tianzhen just so that he could beat around the bush and get the lady boss involved. at the same time, he could feed them dog food! he looked at luo feng leisurely and concluded that he was just another lovesick puppy. as expected, after deciding on the candidate, luo feng began to persuade ai tingya. ¡°look, the three of us think you¡¯re very suitable. don¡¯t worry, i believe you can definitely do it!¡± ¡°you don¡¯t have to worry about the company. i¡¯ll take care of it.¡± ¡°i know that you can capture the hearts of a large number of people when you stand on the stage. i don¡¯t want my outstanding and beautiful wife to be coveted, but i have no choice. there¡¯s no better candidate than you.¡± ¡°i¡¯ll be with you.¡± luo feng¡¯s glib tongue made ai tingya dizzy, and she agreed in a daze. she nestled shyly in luo feng¡¯s arms, too embarrassed to look up at him. luo feng patted ai tingya¡¯s shoulder gently and smiled from ear to ear. ¡°alright, your lady boss has agreed. when will the training begin?¡± ¡°that¡¯s great. you don¡¯t have to eat dog food anymore,¡± yang tianzhen joked. ¡°i¡¯ll contact them immediately. it should be ready tomorrow.¡± luo feng nodded. with yang tianzhen¡¯s efficiency, he didn¡¯t understand why morris wanted to ostracize him. ¡°if there¡¯s nothing else, we¡¯ll go back first,¡± luo feng said. he had to go back and encourage his ai tingya. ¡°i think¡­ wait, there¡¯s something else,¡± yang tianzhen said. then, she took out the list of contestants. ¡°we¡¯re still hesitating about a candidate. should we let her participate?¡± ¡°who is it?¡± luo feng asked. yang tianzhen took out a set of information on the contestants. luo feng immediately saw the id photo on the upper right corner. it was a rather eye-catching girl. the girl¡¯s name was zhu bai. her eyes were very big, and her deep eye sockets and high brow bones looked a little mixed. if she only relied on her looks, she could debut now. luo feng glanced at the girl¡¯s resume. there was no dark history. the only thing worth noting was that zhu bai was once a trainee of morris, but she was expelled for something two years ago. there was nothing about this on her resume. luo feng asked yang tianzhen, but he did not get a clear answer. ¡°at that time, i hadn¡¯t started managing the trainees, so i didn¡¯t know much about this matter. i only knew that it had blown up quite a bit,¡± yang tianzhen said. ¡°there¡¯s no problem if she¡¯s a decent person.¡± luo feng¡¯s criteria for choosing people had never changed. ¡°if there¡¯s a problem with her character then forget it. i¡¯ll have to trouble you to investigate this.¡± Chapter 365 - 365 The Contestant Is Causing Trouble Before The Livestream? 365 the contestant is causing trouble before the livestream? yang tianzhen and benson conducted a simple investigation on zhu bai under luo feng¡¯s instructions. the reason why she was fired by morris was probably only known by zhu bai and the higher-ups of morris who were involved at that time. the two of them did not find out anything. when they asked zhu bai, they said that she accidentally found out the secret of a certain higher-up and was fired because she was blacklisted. yang tianzhen felt that there was nothing wrong with her answer. moreover, zhu bai was a very talented person who could debut directly with her singing and dancing skills. moreover, she had a personality and could easily produce the effects wanted. hence, a simple melodrama was over. they began to make preparations in all aspects. after sending ai tingya to the training camp, luo feng went to the venue he had rented previously. for this variety show, luo feng had created a lot of power in the early stages. this also made many paparazzi come over. the variety show venue had just been set up and the contestants had yet to officially move in. there were already many paparazzi waiting nearby, preparing to take some photos and post them online. what surprised luo feng even more was that some of the fans that the contestants had accumulated when they were trainees had already begun to ask their idols to take pictures of their daily lives. luo feng got someone to add guardrails and iron walls around the variety show venue. not only could they avoid the leakage of materials, but they could also eliminate interference from the outside world and let the contestants prepare in peace. thinking that he had already upgraded the guardrail, luo feng decided to upgrade the contestant¡¯s dormitory as well. according to ai tingya¡¯s preferred style, he changed the cute style to high-level simplicity. the supporting facilities had also been modified, such as daily stores, infirmaries, and so on¡­ as for the contestants, yang tianzhen arranged the final training before entering the venue mainly to announce the rules of the competition. for example, they could not bring their phones with them. they could not contact the outside world for two and a half months and had to contact their families. there were also reminders about some taboos regarding being on camera. most of the 80 contestants from the pre-selection came from morris¡¯ traveling trainees, and there were also some ordinary people who dreamed of becoming celebrities. even though most of them more or less knew the common sense of being on camera, yang tianzhen still found someone to emphasize the rules just to be safe. ¡°as long as the camera is turned on, your lives will be exposed to the cameras, so you have to pay attention to your words and actions. you have to put away your usual bad habits,¡± yang tianzhen said with a straight face. ¡°remember, this is your closest chance to success! take it!¡± ¡°yes!¡± the girls in uniform answered in unison. ¡°most of the contestants standing here have experienced some things and know that this opportunity is not easy to come by. i hope that you can perform well in the upgrade competition. most importantly, you have to show your poise!¡± yang tianzhen raised her hands high. clap¡ª the contestants clapped hard, their faces filled with hope. after experiencing so many hardships, they finally welcomed the day when they stood on the stage. ¡°alright, we¡¯ll be entering the venue tomorrow. have a good rest tonight and rest your spirits,¡± yang tianzhen said. this was the last day of the lecture. after that, it was up to the contestants to work hard. yang tianzhen looked at this group of energetic trainees. they would be worth a lot of money soon, and they were still repeating their mechanical lives in morris¡¯s practice room. they didn¡¯t know where the future was. he had really done a good deed by following luo feng. like a proud rooster, yang tianzhen walked out of the conference room with her hands behind her back. ¡°manager yang!¡± he had only taken two steps when a girl called out to yang tianzhen. ¡°is there anything else?¡± yang tianzhen put on her most mature look and turned around to stare at the blushing girl. ¡°this, please help me pass it to the boss! please pass it to the boss!¡± the girl lowered her voice and looked around mysteriously, as if she was afraid that others would know. yang tianzhen was alarmed by his actions. ¡°the boss said that he doesn¡¯t accept anything from the contestants!¡± yang tianzhen rejected him righteously. having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, his habitual thinking made him feel that there might not be anything good in the envelope. moreover, luo feng rarely appeared in front of the contestants. ¡°it¡¯s just a letter!¡± the girl stuffed it into yang tianzhen¡¯s arms and whispered, ¡°please open it in a private place. there are private photos inside!¡± buzz¡ª the alarm bells were already ringing in yang tianzhen¡¯s face. wasn¡¯t this the legendary¡­ legendary hint! he was about to refuse, but before he could react, the girl had already run away. ¡°that shouldn¡¯t be the case, that shouldn¡¯t be the case!¡± yang tianzhen took the envelope and spun it twice. ¡°there shouldn¡¯t be someone who wants to take a shortcut like this after the character screening!¡± luo feng¡¯s first requirement was that her character had to pass. now that the list of contestants had been finalized, if the girl¡¯s act of asking for unspoken rules was confirmed, it would be yang tianzhen¡¯s work negligence! this letter must not be handed to luo feng! yang tianzhen wanted to throw it away, but she was afraid that the photos inside would be picked up by others. after struggling with his thoughts, yang tianzhen finally decided to open the envelope and take a look. ¡°i¡¯m not prying into your privacy. i¡¯m gathering evidence so that i can persuade you to repent and be a dignified person!¡± yang tianzhen mentally prepared himself as if he was reciting scriptures. he hid in the deserted fire escape and slowly tore open the envelope. a photo slipped out of the envelope and yang tianzhen hurriedly picked it up. when he flipped it over, he was dumbfounded¡ªthe photo was of a little girl with pigtails. she was about four or five years old and was standing at the entrance of the children¡¯s park. yang tianzhen was stunned. why was it completely different from what he had imagined? looking at the contents of the letter, the notes in the watercolor pen were immature. some of them were even replaced with pinyin. the crooked words were pieced together to form a thank-you letter. ¡°thank you, boss, for helping my sister so much. thank you, big boss!¡± yang tianzhen subconsciously raised her voice and said the last sentence. as expected, the thank-you letter came from the little girl in the photo. ¡°manager yang.¡± a faint voice came from behind. yang tianzhen was shocked and hurriedly hid the open letter. he pretended to be calm, like he had done something wrong and was caught red-handed. the girl who delivered the letter stood on the top step with her hands on her hips. ¡°didn¡¯t i say it is to be given to the boss? why did you read it yourself?¡± ¡°uh¡­ i am¡­¡± yang tianzhen wiped the sweat off his face. it was just a child¡¯s thank-you letter, but it made his thoughts seem complicated and he kept thinking in the wrong direction. ¡°i¡¯m just¡­ sorry, i¡¯m just worried¡­¡± yang tianzhen stuttered. he didn¡¯t even know how to explain. ¡°seriously, you¡¯re already an adult, yet you¡¯re still secretly opening other people¡¯s letters.¡± the girl took the letter back and complained, ¡°i didn¡¯t want to send it either, but if i didn¡¯t, the little grandaunt would cry and howl.¡± ¡°it¡¯s fine to send a thank-you letter, but why send a photo?¡± yang tianzhen changed the topic to ease the awkwardness. ¡°my sister said that she hopes that boss can remember her face. when she grows up, he will also choose her to be a female celebrity.¡± the girl was very helpless, smiling as she spoke. Chapter 366 - 366 Livestream Life And Competition, Are You All Right? 366 livestream life and competition, are you all right? it turned out that it was a false alarm. yang tianzhen had mixed feelings. it seemed that he had really stayed in the industry for too long, causing him to see everything through tinted glasses. he should believe in the characters of the contestants. ¡°hahaha, it¡¯s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll definitely pass this letter to boss!¡± yang tianzhen rubbed his nose awkwardly. ¡°the boss is already here,¡± the girl said. ¡°i¡¯ll bring it to him myself.¡± ¡°he¡¯s here?¡± after returning the letter to the girl, yang tianzhen pushed open the heavy fire door. he heard the big meeting room filled with surprised screams and guessed that luo feng must be there. yang tianzhen jogged over and saw luo feng surrounded by girls. every contestant was holding a letter in their hands. many people¡¯s letters had already been successfully delivered. luo feng almost hugged them with both hands. ¡°make way! make way! don¡¯t squeeze the boss!¡± yang tianzhen reminded everyone loudly and tried to walk to luo feng¡¯s side. the girls were really strong, and they didn¡¯t leave any gaps for yang tianzhen. ¡°who are you bluffing?!¡± the girl beside him heard someone being worried and retorted, ¡°the boss is full of muscles and is very strong! unlike you, who is full of fat¡­ uh! manager yang?¡± the girl quickly covered her mouth and silently hid to the side, wishing she was invisible. yang tianzhen couldn¡¯t help but sigh at his boss¡¯s great charm. the girls didn¡¯t care about anyone else as long as he stood there. yang tianzhen touched his protruding abdomen. he had lost a lot of weight compared to before. he woke up early and stayed up late every day for this variety show. sometimes, he didn¡¯t even have time to eat. coupled with the fact that he was running around, it would be strange if he didn¡¯t lose weight. even though yang tianzhen was already working so hard, his thinness still did not seem convincing compared to luo feng. he recalled luo feng¡¯s daily life. he was either sitting in the studio and playing with his phone, or lying in the farmhouse¡¯s small courtyard and playing with his phone. moreover, yang tianzhen remembered that he had asked luo feng if he knew how to work out. luo feng¡¯s answer was that he had never been to the gym. however, luo feng¡¯s figure was very exquisite! he stayed up late to eat supper and play with his phone while lying down. the muscles on luo feng¡¯s body did not decrease at all. yang tianzhen shouted in his heart, there¡¯s no justice! ¡°thank you, everyone! thank you, everyone. i¡¯ll definitely read these letters carefully!!¡± luo feng had been trying to calm the excited nerves of the contestants, but unfortunately, the results were minimal. at this moment, luo feng happened to see yang tianzhen outside the crowd. he quickly used the excuse that he had something to do, grabbed the letter with one hand, and grabbed yang tianzhen with the other to hide. the two of them ran to the garage. luo feng opened the trunk and placed the letter inside. it was actually a flat floor! ¡°phew, he¡¯s too enthusiastic.¡± luo feng heaved a sigh of relief. fortunately, he was still strong. otherwise, he really wouldn¡¯t be able to carry him. yang tianzhen asked, ¡°boss, why are you here?¡± luo feng said, ¡°i happened to come here to do something and am here to pick you up for dinner.¡± ¡°what dinner?¡± yang tianzhen asked curiously. ¡°the opening ceremony,¡± luo feng said. ¡°i don¡¯t know how to make the opening ceremony grand, so i thought i¡¯d have a meal with the staff.¡± of course, the contestants would also follow. luo feng arranged for two buses to pick them up, while he and yang tianzhen went to the dining area first. venus hotel was the most high-end hotel in shanghai that integrated leisure and entertainment. it cost more than a thousand yuan per person. luo feng booked a banquet hall that could accommodate 300 people and invited all the staff participating in the variety show, including the cleaner. he wanted to encourage everyone before filming started and cooperate well to complete the rest of the work. therefore, luo feng only said a few simple words before letting the employees eat and drink as they pleased. at first, everyone was a little shy. the contestants sat at a few tables, and the staff sat at a few tables. everyone ate the dishes on their own tables and minded their own businesses. later on, the contestants could not help but talk to the staff and ask them what their future stage looked like. luo feng did not allow the staff to take photos of the location in order to keep it a secret. the staff described the stage in his eyes. ¡°it would be beautiful! it would be huge, especially the lighting. it would be very cool.¡± the equipment maintenance staff said, ¡°this is the first time we¡¯ve seen such awesome stage configuration!¡± ¡°regardless of whether it¡¯s sound equipment or anything else, you¡¯ll be the main character when you stand on it. you¡¯ll understand when you see it.¡± ¡°i don¡¯t even dare to tell you what that dormitory looks like. i¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll drool over it so much that you won¡¯t be able to sleep. it¡¯s beautiful and comfortable. anyway, you¡¯ll know when you see it!¡± ¡°the boss has given everything to the best of his ability. he¡¯s very considerate. perform well. i wish you all good results!¡± amidst the staff¡¯s praises, the nervousness of the contestants was swept away, leaving only anticipation in their hearts. this was also luo feng¡¯s intention. they would be working together for three months in the future after all. getting familiar with each other in advance would help with the subsequent work. he looked at the harmonious atmosphere between the tables and felt very gratified, but also a little regretful. if only tingya was here. she would definitely be happy too. yang tianzhen could see the undetectable loneliness in luo feng¡¯s eyes, so he said, ¡°boss, don¡¯t worry. the lady boss¡¯s training will end soon. she¡¯ll be back tomorrow.¡± ¡°alright.¡± luo feng nodded. he finally understood what it meant by absence makes the heart fonder. he missed ai tingya very much when she was not around. luo feng knew that ai tingya was the same. ¡­ on the day of filming. the program called ¡°idol cultivation¡± was broadcasted live on microcosm and other cooperative platforms. it mainly showed the practice lives of the contestants. many netizens came to watch. there was also a voting window under the live-stream. netizens could vote for their favorite contestants. this was also the key to determining whether the contestants stayed or left. it also increased the audience¡¯s sense of participation. ¡°wow, wow, wow! it¡¯s finally airing. i¡¯ve been looking forward to it for a long time!¡± ¡°my mengmeng, there¡¯s finally a stage for you. best of luck!¡± ¡°didn¡¯t they say stage pk? why are all the scenes in the practice room?¡± ¡°previous poster, you¡¯re so silly and cute. the contestants have to go through a week of practice before the competition begins. one episode a week will be broadcasted on shanghai tv station!¡± ¡°i see. thank you for the answer.¡± at first, the popularity of the live-stream was alright. the netizens went in and out and realized that it was a trivial daily life. the number of viewers decreased as it went on. most people had their own jobs and lives. they didn¡¯t have time to watch unimportant live broadcasts for more than ten hours a day. in the innovative artist studio. yang tianzhen looked at the data backstage and could not help but feel anxious. ¡°boss, isn¡¯t this program mode a little too innovative? many viewers can¡¯t accept it.¡± the live broadcast of the contestants¡¯ practice lives and the television station¡¯s stage performance were all luo feng¡¯s insistence. it was useless even if yang tianzhen objected. it did not seem to have much effect even though he had created such a huge commotion previously. yang tianzhen was very worried that a week of live broadcast mode would consume the audience¡¯s expectations and make the contestants lose their mysteriousness. Chapter 367 - 367 Bad Broadcast Mode, Its Over 367 bad broadcast mode, it¡¯s over yang tianzhen spun around anxiously and kept refreshing the livestream. when he saw that the number of viewers was decreasing, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and could not calm down no matter what. on the other hand, luo feng was lying on the sofa and hugging his tablet. he was watching another experience variety show and was so happy that his teeth were exposed. ¡°boss, why are you still in the mood to watch other shows?¡± yang tianzhen could not take it anymore. ¡°this is really funny.¡± luo feng turned a blind eye to yang tianzhen¡¯s anxiety. instead, he was looking for new entertainment. ¡°look at how anxious you are. you¡¯re sweating profusely. come and relax.¡± yang tianzhen pushed aside the show that he had enthusiastically recommended. yang tianzhen said with a serious expression, ¡°boss, we can adjust the broadcast mode in time while there are fewer people watching so that not many viewers will notice.¡± the change in the program midway could be considered a broadcasting accident. it would cause a moderate negative impact in time. yang tianzhen had to change as well. he really felt that the current live broadcast mode would not cause much of a stir in the competition on the weekend. the audience loved gossiping about celebrities after all. one of the reasons was that celebrities looked glamorous on the surface, but their lives were mysterious. they were interested because there was a difference. luo feng displayed the private lives of the contestants in front of the audience, completely exposing the back of the mysterious star-making factory. the fantasies of the audiences were shattered when they discovered that the contestants were ordinary people. at the same time, their curiosity would disappear at any time. at that time, there would really be no one watching the show. what made yang tianzhen even more impatient was that the broadcast was too dull! when the time came, he would go online to do his daily life. what was the difference between this and a website that broadcasts boring advertisements?! yang tianzhen respected luo feng and treated innovative artists as his own company. it was precisely because of this that he could not allow the company¡¯s first program to fail in an ordinary manner. he had to save the situation in time! ¡°no! even if you fire me, boss, i want to get the show back on track!¡± yang tianzhen puffed out his chest, as if he was ready to die bravely. luo feng clearly did not understand yang tianzhen¡¯s thoughts. he stopped him and said, ¡°take a look at this before you go.¡± yang tianzhen turned around, thinking that luo feng had changed his mind. he took the tablet expectantly and saw that it was still the experience variety show. in it, a guest was rolling over the water bed and finally smashed into the water like a cannonball. the rising water splash made everyone on the shore feel cold. ¡°hahaha! this place is really super funny!¡± luo feng held his stomach. afraid that yang tianzhen didn¡¯t see it clearly, he pulled the progress bar back a little. ¡°hahahaha! the show¡¯s effect is amazing!¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s face darkened in anger. he was worried sick for the company, and his boss was heartless. he was even sharing a boring variety show! ¡°boss! please listen to me carefully!¡± yang tianzhen couldn¡¯t take it anymore and raised his voice. only then did luo feng retract his smile and forcefully suppress the corners of his lips. ¡°old yang, i know you want everything to be the best, but don¡¯t be too hasty. this live broadcast has only been online for a few hours, so i can¡¯t see any effect.¡± yang tianzhen lost his temper at luo feng¡¯s words. ¡°but the feedback data is too poor. my dog¡¯s dancing video has more viewers than this.¡± ¡°yo, your dog is so talented?¡± ¡°boss?¡± yang tianzhen placed his hands on his hips and was extremely speechless towards luo feng. ¡°ahem.¡± luo feng smiled and said, ¡°i¡¯m sorry to digress. i believe in our plan and our contestants. they are outstanding talents who have been screened layer by layer.¡± as he spoke, luo feng glanced at yang tianzhen¡¯s screen. it was broadcasting the live broadcast of ¡°idol cultivation¡±. every contestant had extremely high potential value above their heads. luo feng trusted yang tianzhen not only because he was serious in his work and experienced in experience, but also because of his judgment in choosing people. he was actually as vicious as luo feng, who could see people¡¯s potential. some of the 50 contestants selected by yang tianzhen had potential that surpassed many idols who had already debuted. they were the type who were born to be in this industry. luo feng believed that when they gathered together, they would definitely have a very good show effect! however, yang tianzhen rolled his eyes at luo feng. he thought to himself, aren¡¯t you the chief planner? are you asking me to believe you? but looking at your indifferent attitude just now, it¡¯s really hard for me to believe you. at the thought of this, yang tianzhen dragged a whiteboard and a chair over, closed the entertainment variety show, and began to explain to luo feng the problems he had seen so far. luo feng stared at yang tianzhen as he wrote down a large number of words. from the speed at which the words appeared, it could be seen how anxious yang tianzhen was, but it did not stop luo feng from not feeling the same way. ¡°you said that once the mystery disappears, the audience won¡¯t be interested in the lives of ordinary people?¡± luo feng concluded. ¡°are you worried about this?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s voice was almost hoarse from all the talking. ¡°who would like a boring history of hard work? even if it¡¯s a big shot¡¯s autobiography, it¡¯s only a story that can inspire excitement or resonance, not a running account from the steamed buns and pickled vegetables for breakfast!¡± hearing this, luo feng walked forward and took the pen from yang tianzhen¡¯s hand, crossing out the words ¡°mysterious¡±. he said, ¡°i don¡¯t deny the mystery of celebrities, but the essence of our program is to nurture and create celebrities. it¡¯s like raising a child to university. the emphasis is on the word ¡®nurture¡¯.¡± yang tianzhen could not accept luo feng as an example. in the past, there were records of how much the contestants had paid for the competition in private in various competitive variety shows. however, those were all highlights that had been edited. what he wanted to see was all kinds of highlights and twists. if he really raised a child himself, the trivial daily life would also drive him crazy. a streamlined program relaxation mode was a first both domestically and overseas! ¡°boss, you have to listen to me no matter what. otherwise, we¡¯ll definitely become a joke in the industry!¡± yang tianzhen was very stubborn. or rather, this was the first time he was so domineering in front of luo feng. ¡°but if we stop the live broadcast, we will be considered to have breached the contract with the three live-stream platforms we signed on.¡± luo feng reminded kindly. ¡°didn¡¯t you sign the copyright for the live broadcast and not the competition program?¡± yang tianzhen was shocked. ¡°that¡¯s right. the exclusive license for the competition program was given to shanghai tv station.¡± luo feng calmly mentioned the news that was enough to make yang tianzhen faint. yang tianzhen did not review the contract again because he trusted luo feng and ai tingya. if they canceled the live broadcast now, it would not be as simple as broadcasting an accident. instead, they would directly breach the contract and have to compensate the three families for the breach of contract! yang tianzhen retracted his hand that was about to take the contract. he did not dare to look at the penalty fee. according to luo feng¡¯s personality, there would only be a shockingly high price in order to give his business partner a sense of security. ¡°it¡¯s over, it¡¯s over.¡± yang tianzhen covered his face and squatted down. ¡°what¡¯s there to save?¡± Chapter 369 - 369 An Unexpected Situation, A Live Streaming Fight? 369 an unexpected situation, a live streaming fight? the two of them exchanged pleasantries. ji xiang had expected yang tianzhen¡¯s visit. she waved her hand and said with a smile, ¡°come in and talk slowly. i just got the new fire green tea and was worried that no one would share it with me.¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s heart was in a mess. he forced a smile and followed her into the garden. ji xiang liked pine trees. after she retired, she built such a leisurely residence in the suburbs. her favorite pastime was to sit in the garden with people she could talk to and admire the pine trees. coincidentally, yang tianzhen was one of such friends. the two of them sat down in the pavilion. yang tianzhen had something on his mind, and it was as if there were burrs on his butt. he could not sit still no matter what. many words rushed to his mouth, but he did not know where to start. he looked very anxious. ¡°i heard that you started another company after you became independent?¡± ji xiang poured tea and asked first. ¡°i met a good boss. he did me a huge favor, so i followed him,¡± yang tianzhen said. he didn¡¯t say anything about being isolated by morris. ¡°you look exhausted and in poor condition. does your boss always ask you to work overtime?¡± ji xiang asked again. ¡°no, the boss is young and it¡¯s his first time in the entertainment industry. i¡¯m in charge of many things, so i¡¯m a little busy,¡± yang tianzhen reported honestly. ¡°heh heh, using a live broadcast to do a variety show. from the looks of it, it¡¯s indeed a fantasy unique to young people,¡± ji xiang said with a smile. ¡°¡­teacher ji, you already know?¡± yang tianzhen was a little embarrassed. as expected, even though the old senior had long retired, she knew all the major events in the industry like the back of her hand. ji xiang continued, ¡°that boss of yours is a popular figure now. be it his age or his style of doing things, he¡¯s unique. it¡¯s difficult not to know.¡± yang tianzhen couldn¡¯t tell if she was praising luo feng or if she had other intentions. he nodded awkwardly. ¡°young people don¡¯t have a good grasp of the market. i came to look for you this time because i hope you can help us.¡± ¡°yes.¡± ji xiang fell into deep thought. ¡°since you came to me, you must know the drawbacks of live streaming. even though it¡¯s a little troublesome, i¡¯m willing to help you ask around.¡± yang tianzhen was delighted. his judgment had been affirmed by the old senior. it was similar to matching the correct answer to a question. ji xiang continued, ¡°it¡¯s not that i want to say this, but your young boss is taking things for granted. how can there be a variety show that doesn¡¯t have any important points? no one likes to watch nothing in particular. if you don¡¯t think of a way, it will be dead in no time.¡± ¡°yes, yes, you¡¯re right. i¡¯ll definitely tell boss when i get back and ask him to cooperate with you!¡± yang tianzhen said. ¡°you are a sensible person.¡± ji xiang smiled and nodded. she was already so old, but she still liked the feeling of being flattered. ¡°stay here for dinner tonight and talk about the details. i¡¯ll see how i can help you,¡± ji xiang said. ¡°thank you, teacher ji.¡± yang tianzhen nodded repeatedly. at night. the two of them started chatting about luo feng¡¯s wrong direction. yang tianzhen told ji xiang everything that he did not dare to tell luo feng. regarding the live broadcast mode, the two veterans of the entertainment industry had never heard of it before. it was a definite failure. unexpectedly, during dinner time, a heated discussion on the internet completely exceeded their expectations. at the dining table. ¡°from the looks of it, your boss is still a little too confident. it¡¯s not good for young people to be arrogant.¡± ji xiang picked up a piece of prawn and placed it in her mouth as she slowly chewed. ¡°why does your phone keep ringing?¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s phone vibrated under the table like a massager. it buzzed like a noisy lawn mower on the street. ji xiang would have ignored the person if she was constantly disturbed by other voices when chatting. ¡°i¡¯m really sorry.¡± yang tianzhen kept smiling. in their line of work, unexpected situations could happen at any time, so it was rare for them to mute their phones. who would have thought that at such a critical moment, the message would not stop playing! ¡°quick, take a look. don¡¯t tell me there¡¯s a problem with the program,¡± ji xiang said. yang tianzhen picked up his phone awkwardly and looked at the screen. he almost fainted! [a fight in idol cultivation!] these few words were followed by a red and black ¡°explosive¡±! in just an hour or two, the number of views had reached ten million, and the discussion rate was rising steadily. at the golden node of dinner time, netizens who were keen on watching the show came over after smelling the fragrance. yang tianzhen¡¯s hands could not help but tremble. he clicked on the topic with trembling hands. they were all people who were watching the fun online and crazily reposting screenshots of the video. ¡°d*mn! i thought it was a boring program, but i didn¡¯t expect it to be so explosive!¡± ¡°hahahaha, the official website is broadcasting a fight. the small show can do whatever they want.¡± ¡°i suggest watching the live broadcast. it¡¯s definitely not a script. the girls are also very good-looking. it¡¯s a gain to see them!¡± ¡°i¡¯ve recorded the screen here. if i have a friend who hasn¡¯t seen it, i¡¯ll be sad!¡± ¡°brothers, let¡¯s charge before it¡¯s sealed!¡± the netizens who were watching the show spread the news one after another. more and more people knew that there was a fight in the show. yang tianzhen switched from the social forum to the live-stream platform. more than a million people were watching online! and the number of people was increasing rapidly! ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± ji xiang saw yang tianzhen¡¯s ugly expression and walked over to take yang tianzhen¡¯s phone. she exclaimed, ¡°these young people are really daring!¡± she clicked on the live stream recording and saw the two little girls fighting. at first, there were still people who were busy fighting, but for some reason, they were also involved. gradually, the range of the fight became larger and larger, and more and more people were affected. ji xiang quickly turned off the video and couldn¡¯t bear to continue watching. perhaps the people who recorded the screen did not expect the stream accounting program to have a climax. they were not prepared in advance and the recording had already started. no one knew why they had a conflict. ¡°what should we do!¡± yang tianzhen almost lost control of his emotions. his mind was in a mess and he had no idea what to do next. thankfully, ji xiang was still very sober. she reminded him, ¡°don¡¯t just stand there. quickly contact your boss! control the public opinion first!¡± ¡°yes! yes! find the boss first!¡± yang tianzhen immediately called luo feng. ¡°hello?¡± luo feng¡¯s voice came from the phone. he sounded normal, as if he did not know that the news had already spread online. yang tianzhen sounded a little panicked. ¡°boss, bad news. the video of the contestants fighting has been circulated online. now that the entire internet knows, what should we do?¡± he recalled that he still had ji xiang by his side, so he turned on the speakerphone, hoping to help with the reference later. ¡°isn¡¯t it good that the popularity has increased?¡± luo feng¡¯s answer almost made the two wily old foxes, unable to hold it in. yang tianzhen was speechless. boss, we can¡¯t take advantage of all the hot topics. they are so strict now, so if we¡¯re not careful and they ban the program, we would have no tears left to cry! Chapter 370 - 370 You Have To Listen To Us If You Lose The Bet! 370 you have to listen to us if you lose the bet! luo feng spoke sincerely, making yang tianzhen speechless. the popularity had indeed increased, but it had caused a huge negative impact. there were already many people who were dissatisfied with the idol industry. if this bad influence was spread, wouldn¡¯t people scold them? ¡°boss, you can¡¯t say that. what about public relations? where¡¯s our company¡¯s pr?¡± yang tianzhen stood up and paced around the table, her forehead covered in sweat. ¡°get the pr to ask questions immediately and express their attitude. we must make sure to hold on to the golden 24 hours!¡± ¡°old yang, you¡¯re confused,¡± luo feng said. ¡°you¡¯ve always been in charge of our company¡¯s public relations.¡± his words woke him up from his dream. yang tianzhen was so anxious that he was confused. the real pr manager was outside asking for help. ¡°i¡¯ll go back to the studio immediately. boss, are you there? wait for me.¡± yang tianzhen hung up after saying that. he did not want to know where luo feng was. he just wanted to tell luo feng to hurry to the studio. he was really anxious this time. he was so anxious that he did not even have time to put on his shoes. to everyone¡¯s surprise, ji xiang ran out as well. ¡°your little boss really doesn¡¯t know anything. i¡¯ll go with you to take a look.¡± ji xiang sat in the front passenger seat and had already buckled her seatbelt. yang tianzhen was touched, but he didn¡¯t forget to step on the accelerator and sped all the way back to the studio. he didn¡¯t even have time to look at the illegal message before he strode up the steps and ran into the studio. luo feng was still hugging the tablet and lying on the sofa, maintaining the same posture as when yang tianzhen left. the only difference was that he had already chased the experience variety show until the second season. ¡°boss!¡± yang tianzhen was furious! how could he be so relaxed after such a big thing had happened?! ¡°you¡¯re back?¡± luo feng looked up. ¡°have a seat. i¡¯ve poured you some tea.¡± he knew that yang tianzhen had a lot to say, so he had prepared everything in advance, except for his humble attitude. ¡°boss, do you understand? it¡¯s a very serious matter for a fight to happen during the broadcast! we have to salvage our reputation as soon as possible!¡± yang tianzhen slammed the table and said. luo feng stared at the screen and said unhurriedly, ¡°i¡¯ve already called to ask. it¡¯s just that the contestants were arguing because of the rehearsal. tingya immediately controlled the scene. there¡¯s no need to be so serious.¡± the moment the matter happened, ai tingya controlled the situation and immediately called luo feng to tell him not to worry. of course, he trusted ai tingya. if she said she was fine, then it was 100% fine. even though there were many people watching the fun online, there was no need to worry so much. in luo feng¡¯s opinion, it was not the best time to clarify now. it was better to wait for the netizens to be happy for a while. when the discussion reached its peak and he became more famous, he would come out to refute the rumors. actually, that would be the best effect and spread the news the fastest. ¡°boss! if we don¡¯t correct our attitude now, the tone of our show will change. it will be difficult to salvage the situation in the future. it will become incongruous!¡± yang tianzhen was extremely excited. he had thought of many ways to salvage the situation, but he did not expect luo feng to become the greatest obstacle! ¡°calm down. tingya will settle it over there.¡± luo feng still looked indifferent. yang tianzhen was about to explode in anger, but he couldn¡¯t flare up at his benefactor boss. ¡°hi boss, you¡¯re too naive!¡± suddenly, a calm woman¡¯s voice sounded at the door. ji xiang held onto the door frame and panted. she hadn¡¯t caught up to yang tianzhen when he ran too quickly. she had just reached the door when she heard a few arguments. this made her even more certain that luo feng, the boss, wasn¡¯t reliable. in fact, he was very unreliable! ¡°this is?¡± luo feng stood up out of habit when facing someone older than him. ¡°this is teacher ji xiang, my senior.¡± yang tianzhen seemed to have lost all his strength. ¡°this time, i want to ask her for help to lead our show back to the right path.¡± ¡°thank you, thank you.¡± luo feng stretched out his right hand and smiled. ¡°thank you for coming, but our show is developing very well.¡± ji xiang was stunned while yang tianzhen held his forehead. why was the usually friendly luo feng so arbitrary this time? he did not listen to any suggestions. ji xiang shook luo feng¡¯s hand and quickly let go. this was the first time she had really met luo feng. she sized him up and realized that he was really different from all the bosses she had seen! luo feng¡¯s face was very eye-catching. even though ji xiang had been in the entertainment industry for many years and was immune to handsome men and beautiful women, she still had the urge to support luo feng¡¯s debut because it was such a waste not to be a celebrity! he would definitely become famous if he became an artiste under her! unfortunately, he was a boss now. ¡°boss luo, i don¡¯t think you know much about the rules of our circle. as someone who has been invited to help, i advise you to listen to little yang¡¯s suggestion,¡± ji xiang said. ¡°i don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to go through the trouble.¡± luo feng insisted. ¡°oh? are you that confident? aren¡¯t you afraid that the higher-ups will name you before the show fails?¡± ji xiang said calmly. ¡°i also heard that you will broadcast the contestants¡¯ fight on the television station?¡± ¡°of course not,¡± luo feng said. ¡°i know that no matter what i say now, you all feel that it¡¯s inappropriate. therefore, i can only be stronger. old yang, go back and rest. it¡¯s been hard on you during this period of time.¡± he was trying to chase them away. yang tianzhen was speechless. she did not expect luo feng to say such things to her one day. after a long silence, yang tianzhen lowered her head and said, ¡°yes¡­¡± ¡°wait!¡± ji xiang stood between the two of them. ¡°since i¡¯m here, how can i leave without doing anything!¡± she had seen many unreasonable bosses, but she was the first one to be as stubborn as luo feng! she had to teach him a lesson! ¡°oh? teacher ji xiang, what advice do you have?¡± luo feng smiled. ji xiang said firmly, ¡°little yang asked me to help. i¡¯ve connected him to the right people. i can¡¯t let everyone prepare for nothing, right?¡± hearing this, luo feng thought that she wanted money. unexpectedly, ji xiang continued, ¡°in three days, if your company¡¯s variety show popularity increases in three days, we¡¯ll forget about it. however, if it doesn¡¯t increase but decreases instead or remains lukewarm, listen to little yang¡¯s opinion!¡± she admired yang tianzhen¡¯s ability and character, so she was willing to risk her life to help. as for whether he could grasp it or not, it would depend on luo feng¡¯s luck! ¡°do you want to bet?¡± ji xiang raised her chin. luo feng looked at the top of ji xiang¡¯s head and smiled. ¡°alright, but i have another condition. if i win according to your conditions, you have to be our company¡¯s consultant and guide the managers¡¯ and artists¡¯ development unconditionally.¡± ¡°heh, boss luo sure knows how to do business.¡± ji xiang laughed. this kid was too good at calculating. he even wanted a retiree like her to come to work. luo feng looked at the potential number above ji xiang¡¯s head. her talent was slightly higher than yang tianzhen¡¯s! it proved ji xiang¡¯s talent as she had stopped developing as she grew older. only a fool would not want to keep such ready talent around! Chapter 371 - 371 Someone Is Creating Trouble, I Cant Find the Culprit! 371 someone is creating trouble, i can¡¯t find the culprit! a talent who had delivered herself to his door and was so passionate about her work, of course luo feng had to get her to stay! ¡°alright! boss luo is a man of his word! let¡¯s meet again in three days!¡± ji xiang revealed an expectant smile as she shook her head confidently and left. yang tianzhen stood rooted to the ground, not knowing whether to leave or stay. logically speaking, he should have told luo feng about the seriousness of this matter again. he should not have made a bet. he should have trusted the intuition of a few teachers and asked them how to change the way the show was broadcasted as soon as possible. he turned around and happened to see luo feng picking up his tablet to watch the variety show again. he was instantly furious. ¡°i¡¯ll send her off,¡± yang tianzhen said and left. he secretly set a rule for himself. he would not say another word about this to luo feng before he realized his mistake. absolutely! luo feng heard yang tianzhen speak. when he looked up again, he had already disappeared. ¡°manager yang is angry?¡± ai tingya¡¯s voice came from the tablet. ¡°that sounds like it to me.¡± luo feng swiped the interface and opened tencent¡¯s communication. he opened the voice interface with ai tingya. ¡°he probably didn¡¯t rest enough. you know that staying up late makes people irritable.¡± ai tingya fell silent again. ¡°¡­ no, you should be the one who misunderstood.¡± she could clearly hear yang tianzhen¡¯s displeased tone, not to mention that luo feng could see yang tianzhen¡¯s downcast face. ¡°i¡¯ll talk to him later and give him a few days off. let¡¯s continue talking about how you¡¯re doing,¡± luo feng said. ¡°the contestants have returned to their respective positions and continued to prepare for the first stage. you should be able to see it in the live-stream,¡± ai tingya said. ¡°i asked a few contestants who were involved, but they couldn¡¯t explain it clearly themselves. they inexplicably huddled together and felt that someone was slapping them, so they retaliated.¡± ¡°can¡¯t find the cause?¡± luo feng was puzzled. ¡°it started because there was a disagreement about the dance moves.¡± ai tingya paused for a moment. ¡°but why did they start hitting people without caring about the camera? they only said that they were hit a few times and that someone attacked first.¡± ¡°i see¡­¡± luo feng felt that this matter was not simple. ¡°i¡¯ll watch the recording later and see if i can find the source.¡± ¡°alright, but are you really not going to give an explanation? after all, it¡¯s a program for the public.¡± ai tingya was also a little worried. as the emcee, she needed to accompany the contestants the entire time. she could personally feel the restlessness of the contestants. she did not know if it was because the show was too nervous or because of other reasons, but the atmosphere was not very good. ai tingya was worried that something similar would happen again, so she needed to prepare in advance. ¡°there¡¯s no need.¡± luo feng¡¯s attitude on this matter was very unified. ¡°if there¡¯s really no other way, i¡¯ll post a few beautiful photos of you to divert the attention of the onlookers.¡± in the entertainment industry, one could do whatever they wanted with their looks. ¡°screw you.¡± ai tingya smiled shyly. ¡°let¡¯s see how many times you can use it.¡± luo feng sat down on the sofa and said seriously, ¡°what a joke. have you forgotten how we became rich? back then, it was your publicity that swept the school¡¯s internet, which made the milk tea shop¡¯s business better. besides, my wife is so beautiful. i want everyone to know how beautiful she is!¡± ai tingya sweated. ¡®that¡¯s your real motive after all¡­¡¯ ¡°i know why manager yang is so angry.¡± ai tingya felt inexplicably powerless. she felt that luo feng¡¯s words were ridiculous. ¡°hehehe, thank you, my wife. i¡¯ll definitely make it up to you when i get back,¡± luo feng said obediently. ¡°got it, hubby. wait for me obediently.¡± after saying that, she did not hang up, but kept the call alive this was luo feng¡¯s request. ai tingya¡¯s work was in a semi-closed off state, and she would not leave the recording location unless there were special circumstances. during this period of time, she was in charge of the contestants and in charge of everything other than the contestants. that was how he made ai tingya, the lady boss, the emcee. for example, if there was a conflict between the contestants this time, she had the right to react immediately and give the corresponding contestant punishment. she would not wait for luo feng¡¯s opinion. luo feng opened the live-stream and saw that more and more people were entering. the comments were also popping up. ¡°come on, why aren¡¯t you fighting anymore?¡± ¡°it¡¯s time to have fun. let me see what¡¯s exciting.¡± ¡°it¡¯s a boring training life. why don¡¯t we do some action scenes? i love watching beautiful women fight.¡± ¡°i¡¯m here because of your reputation. may i ask when we¡¯ll start, or rather, get to the main topic?¡± luo feng looked at the comments and knew that yang tianzhen¡¯s worries were not unreasonable. the show¡¯s interest was really off track. his live broadcast was to let the audience see how hard the contestants worked behind the scenes and how difficult it was. if these comments were seen by the contestants who were preparing for the first stage, they would definitely be very sad. luo feng turned on the live broadcast and replayed the progress bar to the few minutes before the conflict. the location of the conflict was in the corner of the practice room, and half of it was just outside the camera. luo feng saw that at first, it was a few girls rehearsing the dance. then, one of them danced. he felt that his improvised actions were better, so he looked for his companions to discuss. the team of more than ten people had more than ten different opinions, so they began to discuss. suddenly, a fair arm stretched out from outside the view and slapped the girl who was in the discussion. everyone was stunned, including the girl who was hit. she didn¡¯t even see who hit her. she covered her face and looked around in confusion, but she couldn¡¯t find the person who hit her. girls¡¯ faces were especially precious, let alone these girls who wanted to stand on the stage. everyone began to look for the culprit. they each identified the person they thought was a suspect. soon, five or six girls were targeted. no one wanted to be blamed. as they fought, they began to fight¡­ what followed was a video that circulated on the internet. the girls huddled together, pushing and pulling each other. some of them who passed their slots had bad tempers and directly pulled their hair. this lasted for about half a minute. at this moment, ai tingya ran in and immediately shouted at everyone¡­ ¡°sigh.¡± luo feng pressed the pause button and adjusted the progress bar back to where someone had reached out. even though he did not manage to capture that person¡¯s face, luo feng was very sure that this person had no reason to attack. this was because when the girls discussed their actions, they had always focused on the person in the center. no one was targeting that direction. because there was no reason, the first girl who was hit did not react in time. she did not even find the person who hit her. ¡°interesting.¡± luo feng pinched his chin and sensed that someone wanted to cause trouble. as for who it was. he would find out sooner or later. the most pressing problem at the moment was¡­ luo feng pulled the progress bar back and forth to find the location where ai tingya was filmed. then, he took a few side profile photos, edited them, and added a few cute stickers. then, he pressed enter and sent them! Chapter 372 - 372 Nothing Else, I Just Want to Show Off 372 nothing else, i just want to show off ¡°am i the only one who noticed this older sister? she¡¯s so beautiful. is she a contestant? she has a strong aura. those who didn¡¯t notice her will be in trouble!¡± in the tone of a little girl, luo feng posted a few screenshots of ai tingya¡¯s video and tweets asking for information on the internet. even though the camera coverage in the practice room was incomplete, it was clear and recorded ai tingya¡¯s beauty. ai tingya did not spend much time in the scene but the few shots taken of her were still beautiful and eye-catching. luo feng pretended to be a netizen who had discovered the treasure. a simple post quickly entered the eyes of many people. the original popularity had already subsided a little and was quickly ignited again. ¡°i knew i couldn¡¯t be the only one who saw it. is this person also a contestant?¡± ¡°i¡¯ve seen the live broadcast. this should be the emcee or manager. she¡¯s a decisive beauty.¡± ¡°three minutes. i want all the information on this beautiful sister.¡± ¡°everyone, watch and cherish it. this young lady doesn¡¯t appear often.¡± ¡°exit is fine!¡± ¡°she¡¯s so beautiful. i love her so much. sister, marry me!¡± ¡°previous poster, give up. this lady is good me¡¯s boss. she¡¯s already married after graduating from university.¡± ¡°no wonder she has a virtuous charm. i like her even more now!¡± all the netizens who were paying attention to this matter were instantly attracted by ai tingya. just the few screenshots of the videos uploaded by luo feng quickly spread among the various social media platforms. every single one of them was repeatedly watched by the audience. some people dug out ai tingya¡¯s previous photos to feast their eyes. this undoubtedly spread ai tingya¡¯s beautiful legend even more widely. many netizens were not satisfied with the old photos and worked hard to find a new photo of ai tingya. they entered the live-stream of ¡°idol cultivation¡± and waited for ai tingya to leave the country. many people turned on the recording screen, and there was also a group editing photos of ai tingya. ¡°wow! she looks even more beautiful when she moves!¡± ¡°boohoo, is she really not a celebrity? i want to spend money on her!¡± ¡°her name is ai tingya, the boss of good me milk tea. i want to spend more money to buy a few more cups of milk tea.¡± ¡°wow! she¡¯s a cross-sector emcee. she¡¯s beautiful and so outstanding?!¡± ¡°i love you even more. boohoo! may i ask if you can debut?¡± thanks to ai tingya, netizens who wanted to see the beautiful women constantly appeared in the live-stream. they watched the show in order to look at ai tingya. however, ai tingya spent most of her time working outside the camera. the contestants who left in the scenes gradually attracted the attention of the netizens. the contestants were all very good-looking and had been training hard for the first stage after all. this kind of spirit had subtly infected the audience and resonated with them. the live broadcast of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ was from 6:30 am to 9:30 pm. then, the contestants would turn off the live broadcast when they washed up and went to bed. the main focus of the long-term live broadcast was companionship. it gradually became fashionable to play ¡°idol cultivation¡± on their cell phones during working hours. every time someone slacked off and didn¡¯t want to work hard, they would immediately reflect on themselves when they saw the contestants singing and dancing hard for their dreams in the live-stream. this was another way to motivate him. even the technicians like xie yan used the sound of the live-stream as background music instead of playing songs. the contestants¡¯ hard work was completely displayed in front of the camera. many netizens were moved and were quickly attracted to the show. the number of new viewers in the live-stream increased visibly every day. in the beginning, there were a few thousand, but they came and went frequently. later on, there were more than a hundred thousand permanent viewers, and the number was still increasing every day. more and more people were discussing the performance of the contestants every day. the netizens seemed to have sharp eyes. they could always discover everyone¡¯s highlights among dozens of people. in the first stage, which was still in the preparation stage, many contestants already had their own fan groups. ¡°i think number 25, shan is the cutest. her round face is like a hamster, and she eats in small bites. she¡¯s so cute! (nosebleed)¡± ¡°speaking of table manners, number six ning xiaoxiao is definitely the most elegant. she¡¯s simply a textbook example of table manners.¡± ¡°it¡¯s a pity that i can¡¯t see the sleeping faces of the contestants. they must be very good-looking too!¡± ¡°forget it. don¡¯t show your dirty thoughts.¡± ¡°did you guys watch yesterday¡¯s live broadcast? number 47 was dozing off in a corner. her expression when she was scared awake by her partner was so funny!¡± ¡°number 47, the hilarious girl, shi chuile, hahahaha!¡± even a small detail could be discussed by netizens for a long time. this was the effect luo feng wanted. even though they made a big detour, they still integrated the live broadcast into the real life of the netizens. they would occasionally be reminded of the initial fight, but most of them were fans who felt sorry for their idol. the consequence of this incident was that several fans disliked each other. in order to make the idol they supported invincible, they did their best to find people to fill in the votes every day. therefore, when the contestants¡¯ votes were released every evening, they would always complain about a bloodbath. when luo feng had nothing to do, he would flip through the contestants¡¯ personal topics. his heart ached for this today, but he would do that tomorrow. the idol was sweating profusely in the practice room, and the fans outside the screen were also extremely busy. ¡°as expected, where there are people, there are people.¡± luo feng threw the tablet aside. ¡°however, competition among fans is inevitable. don¡¯t you think so, old yang?¡± in the studio. yang tianzhen put his hands and feet together cautiously and nodded slightly in response to luo feng¡¯s words. he looked very much like a guest who had come for the first time. previously, he had always felt that the live broadcast method was too ridiculous. yang tianzhen looked around for people to save him. however, reality proved that luo feng was right. now, as long as the live broadcast started, hundreds of thousands of people would enter the live broadcast room and not leave. as far as yang tianzhen knew, there had never been a live broadcast that had so many loyal viewers. ¡°boss, teacher ji xiang said that she lost. if there are any problems in the future, just look for her.¡± yang tianzhen rubbed his hands, feeling a little happy and ashamed. luo feng shook the teacup in his hand like a wine glass that represented victory. ¡°teacher ji, you¡¯re a man of your word. i still have to ask her questions in the future. why don¡¯t we meet for a meal?¡± yang tianzhen licked his lips. ¡°teacher ji xiang knew that she had lost and was too embarrassed to come. she went on a trip yesterday.¡± he chuckled and scratched his head. yang tianzhen was delighted when he thought about how she could consult ji xiang at will in the future. at the same time, he was a little ashamed. as luo feng¡¯s right-hand man, he actually could not understand luo feng¡¯s meaning. it was really useless! ¡°boss, it¡¯s my fault. i thought that you asked the lady boss to be the emcee because¡­ hahaha, so you have other motives,¡± yang tianzhen said respectfully. luo feng shook his head and said humbly, ¡°actually, i¡¯m not that responsible. i just want to show off my wife.¡± Chapter 373 - 373 The Boss Has Foresight Indeed! 373 the boss has foresight indeed! ¡°actually, i just want to show off my beautiful wife.¡± luo feng was smug. ¡°yes, yes¡­¡± yang tianzhen scratched his face awkwardly. with his understanding of luo feng, this was definitely a humble statement. however, according to luo feng¡¯s personality¡­ yang tianzhen felt that what he said was true and stuffed another mouthful of dog food into his mouth¡­ for the first time, yang tianzhen thought about it seriously. his boss was very capable. be it in terms of wealth or ability, his grasp of the future, or his grasp of the audience, these abilities were all top-notch. however, before his ability to show off his affection, these seemed to be child¡¯s play, easy. luo feng could really give out a large amount of dog food at any time, place, and time! even if ai tingya was not in front of him, he could still give it to her! ¡°uh¡­ what should we do next? just let the contestants be free?¡± yang tianzhen asked. actually, the previous fight had given him an idea. after all, it was a well-known secret that variety shows had scripts. in order to control the development of the show, the organizers would definitely give the contestants a certain number of tasks to control the direction. even if there was a fight, it had to be ordered by the production team. especially for such talent show programs, the organizers would also have a main target according to the background and family matters. however, luo feng had yet to choose a contestant. yang tianzhen thought that he was still observing. luo feng said leisurely, ¡°let them continue to be free. with tingya watching over them, nothing big will happen.¡± ¡°mm¡­¡± yang tianzhen frowned and thought about his previous experience. ¡°alright, if you say so.¡± luo feng nodded. ¡°don¡¯t worry about the show for the time being. i have other missions for you.¡± yang tianzhen leaned forward and listened attentively. luo feng said, ¡°when is teacher ji xiang coming back? i think it¡¯s necessary to gather the company¡¯s managers for training.¡± ¡°¡­¡± yang tianzhen looked troubled. boss, you¡¯re too good at using resources. it has to be known that teacher ji xiang is very rare! typically, managers without connections can¡¯t even touch her. even he had to kowtow three to five times and pretend to be very humble before he had the chance to drink a cup of tea. on careful thought, it was all thanks to luo feng that he could meet teacher ji xiang so smoothly. as ji xiang was very interested in luo feng¡¯s actions, she was willing to receive yang tianzhen. even though ji xiang had lost the bet and expressed that she was willing to accept her loss, the other party was an old senior after all. he could not really climb up the ladder just because he was given face. clearly, luo feng was not an ordinary person. he was really prepared to trouble teacher ji xiang. ¡°what¡¯s wrong? is there a problem?¡± luo feng looked at yang tianzhen in confusion. ¡°no, teacher ji will be back in about a week. i will communicate with her in advance¡­¡± yang tianzhen said. he accepted that. wasn¡¯t that what qualified employees did? complete some of the boss¡¯s whims and make him what the boss wanted him to be. ¡°it¡¯s been hard on you, old yang. i¡¯ll give you a raise later.¡± luo feng smiled. usually, when the boss says ¡®later¡¯, it might be at an uncertain time in the future. however, when luo feng said ¡®later¡¯, it might be when yang tianzhen stepped out of the door frame. luo feng was still in charge of most important matters while yang tianzhen received a high salary, he felt guilty. ¡°there¡¯s no need, boss. being able to listen to teacher ji xiang¡¯s lecture has already helped me a lot.¡± yang tianzhen curled his lips in embarrassment. he was actually looking forward to it. ¡°what?!¡± there was an incredulous shock at the door. luo feng and yang tianzhen looked up at the same time. it was benson. he was mainly following huixin as a life-experience blogger now. he did not have to go to the office during working hours. however, he insisted on going to the studio to give a report and summarize every week. he would send the work summary over even if luo feng was not in the studio. he happened to bump into luo feng and yang tianzhen talking about ji xiang. ¡°old yang, are you serious? teacher ji xiang is here for class?¡± benson rushed forward and held yang tianzhen¡¯s hand. ¡°it¡¯s not a class. to be precise, she¡¯ll be here to train our company¡¯s managers.¡± yang tianzhen smiled and turned to look at luo feng. his gaze seemed to be saying, ¡°look, teacher ji causes such a commotion.¡± benson¡¯s performance made luo feng truly understand how powerful teacher ji xiang was. every industry had a benchmark that belonged to people in the industry, and teacher ji xiang was the pinnacle of managers. even listening to a training class was enough to make people so excited that they couldn¡¯t sleep. ¡°really? only for our company?¡± benson¡¯s eyes lit up. he looked at yang tianzhen and then at luo feng, seeking confirmation from the two of them. after receiving an affirmative extension, benson was about to suck up when he was immediately interrupted by yang tianzhen. ¡°if you want to praise someone, praise the boss. it¡¯s all thanks to boss¡¯s foresight that i had a reason to find teacher ji xiang.¡± yang tianzhen smiled. ji xiang was willing to accept her loss and would definitely come, even though the process might be a little complicated. ¡°boss, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± benson ran to luo feng¡¯s side and praised him eagerly. he immediately took out his phone and began to call his peers in the contact list. ¡°hey, hey, hey. let me share something happy with you. our boss invited teacher ji xiang to train us!¡± ¡°i knew it. not only are our company¡¯s benefits good, our boss also has a wide network of connections. he can even invite teacher ji xiang!¡± ¡°why would i lie to you? i¡¯ll reveal some secret manuals to you when the time comes.¡± ¡°hahahaha! it¡¯s impossible to freeload lessons. the boss said that it¡¯s only for our company.¡± ¡°you want to jump ship now? oh my, didn¡¯t you look down on our small company previously?¡± in just a few minutes, he had already called seven or eight people. he flaunted their company¡¯s strength without exception. they could even invite the retired teacher ji xiang. without exception, the other party either envied him or felt that he was bragging, but they couldn¡¯t help but ask indirectly. ¡°hehehehehe, when can i see teacher ji xiang? i can¡¯t wait!¡± benson jumped up and down excitedly without stopping for a moment. ¡°it¡¯s too early for you to be happy. teacher ji is still traveling outside.¡± yang tianzhen held his forehead. this guy was too impatient. in an instant, it was made public. ¡°it¡¯s fine, i can wait!¡± benson puffed out his chest. his gaze landed on the confused luo feng and he shook his head. ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± luo feng was confused. ¡°boss, i really don¡¯t know if i saved the world in my previous life to be able to work under you.¡± he squeezed to luo feng¡¯s side excitedly. ¡°you don¡¯t know how much those people looked down on me in the past. they were so envious of me just now! they even wanted to jump ship!¡± benson said seriously, ¡°if they come over, please don¡¯t pick them up. their abilities are average and will drag down the overall quality of our company.¡± Chapter 374 - 374 Here The Platform. If You Want to Listen, Come and Train! 374 here the platform. if you want to listen, come and train! luo feng was worried that it would be difficult for yang tianzhen, so he got him to call ji xiang on the spot. at the very least, ji xiang would give it more consideration if he was here. ¡°hurry up and call! use my phone!¡± benson took the initiative to hand over his phone, his face almost bursting with laughter. he dreamed of getting ji xiang¡¯s phone number. even if there was a high chance that he wouldn¡¯t call her in the future, it wasn¡¯t bad to leave it as a souvenir. most importantly, he would have more confidence when he went out to brag! yang tianzhen rolled his eyes at him and picked up his own phone. ¡°don¡¯t spout nonsense later. only the boss and i will speak later.¡± benson immediately covered his mouth and nodded obediently. yang tianzhen sighed and dialed a number before putting it on speaker. to his surprise, ji xiang immediately picked up the call. ¡°hello? what¡¯s the situation?¡± yang tianzhen said, ¡°i¡¯m really sorry to disturb your rest. teacher ji, our boss wants to ask you if you can come to the company to train the employees when you come back from your trip. everyone is looking forward to your arrival.¡± there was a short silence on the other end of the line. it wasn¡¯t a big deal for ji xiang to lose a bet, but she had lost in her area of expertise to a young man who had just entered the industry. ji xiang felt embarrassed and began to doubt her life. therefore, the first thing she did after agreeing to be a consultant was to relax and think about whether she was really old and could not keep up with the current trend. ¡°teacher ji, what¡¯s wrong?¡± yang tianzhen asked. ¡°nothing. are you sure this is your boss¡¯s idea?¡± ji xiang was a little indignant as she said angrily, ¡°i think his taste is better than mine. he¡¯s more suitable to train you. he¡¯s from the same company.¡± the three people guarding the phone looked at each other. this was because the old senior had lost face and was a little embarrassed. she was currently throwing a tantrum. luo feng took the phone and said, ¡°teacher ji, don¡¯t joke around. how can i compare to you?¡± ¡°hmph.¡± ji xiang snorted arrogantly and ignored luo feng. benson was extremely anxious at the side as he danced around and made up an excuse for luo feng. he was afraid that ji xiang would not come if she was unhappy. if that happened, he would not be able to fulfill his bragging. it would be extremely embarrassing. yang tianzhen quickly held him down to prevent any unnecessary movements. luo feng continued, ¡°actually, i have something to apologize to you about. i know a lot of inside information about this matter, and for other reasons, i can¡¯t tell others. the reason why i can win the bet is because i know more information and have the advantage first.¡± ji xiang hesitated for a moment. in other words, it wasn¡¯t embarrassing for her to lose. luo feng knew more inside information after all. moreover, she was an outsider at that time and did not know much. with this in mind, ji xiang felt a little better. her tone softened. ¡°what¡¯s the reason?¡± the corners of luo feng¡¯s mouth curled up smugly. ¡°i¡¯ll tell you as long as you come to the company to listen to my subsequent variety arrangements!¡± he managed to hook her on! yang tianzhen and benson widened their eyes. if their boss went fishing, he would definitely be a top-notch expert. he even dared to throw bait for the great senior. ¡°pfft! hahaha.¡± ji xiang couldn¡¯t hold back her laughter. ¡°you¡¯re too interesting. in that case, i¡¯ll see you in the studio in three days.¡± ¡°thank you, teacher ji xiang!¡± luo feng hung up the phone, crossed his arms, and raised his chin¡ªit was done! ¡°boss, you¡¯re awesome!¡± benson jumped up excitedly. ¡°teacher ji xiang will be coming to class in three days. i have to go back and prepare well. i¡¯ll apply for leave in the next two days!¡± ¡°hey!¡± he had already disappeared before yang tianzhen could say anything else. ¡°it¡¯s fine. if he wants to rest, he can rest for two days.¡± luo feng smiled. yang tianzhen¡¯s heart stirred. in that case, could he also prepare for two days? previously, he had pretended to be fine, but he was actually looking forward to teacher ji xiang¡¯s class. ¡°i¡ª¡± ¡°you can rest too.¡± luo feng saw through yang tianzhen. ¡°but during the break, i have a part-time job for you.¡± ¡°what?¡± yang tianzhen asked in confusion. luo feng showed yang tianzhen the video of the day the contestants fought. when the hand that was provoking the dispute reached out, luo feng pressed the pause button and said, ¡°look at the recording when you¡¯re free. this person likes to cause trouble. she will probably cause trouble later.¡± where there was competition, there would be conflict. while luo feng had chosen the quality of the contestants, and he believed that most people insisted on deciding the victor on the stage, there was no guarantee that there was no one that would play dirty. luo feng could not let a rat¡¯s poop spoil a pot of soup. ¡°try to find this person and pay more attention. don¡¯t let her have the chance to provoke the other contestants,¡± luo feng said. ¡°yes!¡± yang tianzhen immediately accepted the mission. ¡°i¡¯ll be more careful.¡± ¡°i called you here today for this. there¡¯s nothing else.¡± luo feng stood up with the tablet. ¡°it¡¯s been a long time since i went to the farmhouse. i¡¯ll go see xiao chun and the others. focus on preparing for the training.¡± ¡°okay!¡± yang tianzhen nodded vigorously. ¡­ farmer¡¯s courtyard. luo feng parked the car and pushed open the courtyard door. the small courtyard was especially quiet today. luo feng thought that they might have gone up the mountain. previously, he had seen xiao chun and the others in the group chat. the next theme was to decorate the courtyard. he walked around to the back of the house. across the two fields, he saw a neat girl carrying three bamboos down the mountain. the bamboo was thicker than a bowl and was about ten meters long. xiaochun carried one end of the bamboo and dragged a long section behind her. the cameraman followed beside her and captured the angle of the camera. after filming xiaochun, he took photos of the bamboo. luo feng was worried about disturbing them, so he hid in the house. through the crack in the door, he saw xiaochun drag the bamboo into the courtyard and put it down. then, she placed a blueprint, pen, paper, saw, hammer, and so on on the table. before officially starting work, xiaochun swiped her phone twice and placed it on an unused stool. the cameraman then gave the phone screen a few close-up shots. luo feng listened for a while and heard the background music of ¡°idol is here¡±. xiaochun also treated the live broadcast as the background music for her work. then, she began to measure and saw the bamboo, knocking until the sun set. the cameraman turned off the machine and said, ¡°it¡¯s dark. are we still filming at night?¡± xiaochun wiped off her sweat and said, ¡°tomorrow. we can edit it after we finish filming the scenes for the assembly.¡± the cameraman had followed them up the mountain today. he was tired after holding the camera for the entire day. ¡°then i¡¯ll go back. my girlfriend is still waiting for me to eat.¡± ¡°i¡¯ll clean up the rest. go ahead.¡± xiaochun waved her hand. today, the farmhouse courtyard was very quiet. after the cameraman left, xiaochun thought that she was the only one left, so she was not in a hurry to cook. she sat under the gazebo, brewing tea and watching a variety show. this used to be the stage she looked forward to, but now that she was on the internet celebrity track, she could only send gifts to increase the popularity of the live-stream. ¡°wow! number 15¡¯s figure is too good!¡± xiao chun clicked her tongue in admiration. she kept tapping on the screen, and flowers bloomed one after another. Chapter 375 - 375 Helping A Friend With Her Popularity, The Story Behind The Contestants 375 helping a friend with her popularity, the story behind the contestants luo feng watched as flowers bloomed one after another on xiao chun¡¯s phone. they were all for number 15, whom she liked. moreover, she was constantly cheering for number 15 on the screen. he still remembered xiao chun¡¯s initial downtrodden appearance. she was overwrought over the termination fee. at that time, luo feng had just rented this small farmyard for her to film. whenever she saw a place that needed to spend money, xiao chun would ask if she wanted to deduct it from her future salary. she was trembling like a little rabbit that had just come out of a cage. any place that used money would make her frown. therefore, in the beginning, xiaochun worked especially hard. she filmed videos in the day, and at night, in the dead of night, she learned skills from the computer. from ancient methods of making paper to mortise and tenon structures. as long as she felt that skills were worth displaying, she would basically dabble in them. another benefit of learning how to make handicrafts was that it saved money. what she made herself was even sturdier than what he bought. even if it was broken, she knew how to repair it. in short, xiao chun was especially frugal at that time. she would either send the money she earned home or save it. even though luo feng was not born into a poor family, ai tingya was similar to xiaochun in the past. luo feng could understand her, so she was treated well in all aspects. he did not expect to see xiao chun tipping the contestants. they were all from the same company. xiaochun rewarded the contestants as if she was returning the salary that the company had given her to the company. seeing xiao chun immersed in it and showing her big teeth, luo feng¡¯s mind flashed with many scenes from his previous life. something about being obsessed with a female streamer and tipping hundreds of thousands of life-saving money. something about children who were insensible and stole their parents¡¯ hard-earned money to reward the game streamer? something about being obsessed with chasing celebrities and threatening them with death¡­ these ridiculous human activities flashed past luo feng¡¯s eyes. xiaochun had once yearned for the stage. would she project her dreams on a contestant and indulge in spending money on her? luo feng felt that xiao chun¡¯s state was very bad. he had to guide her. he walked out of the room to the courtyard and broke the silence with his usual voice. ¡°xiaochun.¡± ¡°ah!¡± xiaochun was shocked, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered. ¡°boss? when did you come? oh no! the cup!¡± she picked up the fragments on the ground and cried, ¡°this is made from purple sand!¡± ¡°sorry for scaring you,¡± luo feng said. ¡°boss, this is your purple sand teacup.¡± xiao chun¡¯s heart ached. it was no different from feeling sorry for her own things. ¡°i just learned the curium porcelain technique. i¡¯ll fix it for you.¡± the so-called curium porcelain was a very meticulous craft. it was a very ancient craft to connect broken porcelain or pottery with curium that looked like staples to repair the cracks. the curium could only be made by hand according to the cracks. they would even use gold or silver on the more expensive porcelains. in this era of industrialization, broken things were replaced with new ones. few young people knew that porcelain could be repaired even if it was broken. luo feng was slightly surprised. unbeknownst to him, xiaochun had already learned so many skills. he did not expect xiaochun to remember all the traditional cultural skills that he had mentioned before. seeing that luo feng was silent, xiao chun thought that he was feeling sorry for the teacup and said carefully, ¡°boss, don¡¯t worry. if i can¡¯t repair it, i¡¯ll buy another set for you.¡± ¡°yes¡­¡± luo feng was a little hesitant.¡± this was a gift from your lady boss¡¯s younger brother. he made it by hand. ¡± after ai tingya became rich, she gave the children in the orphanage a way to make a living. a solitary child was sent to follow a master to inherit traditional craftsmanship. this tea set was currently his proudest work. ¡°ah? it¡¯s so memorable.¡± xiaochun lowered her head. things with special meaning were unique. no amount of money could buy them back. luo feng had an idea. he could use this opportunity to talk about xiao chun¡¯s obsession with giving gifts. he believed that with the enhancement of the teacup, she would definitely remember it. ¡°ahem, you can try repairing it. if you can¡¯t, i¡¯ll think of another way. i have something else to tell you,¡± luo feng said. ¡°what?¡± ¡°i saw that you¡¯ve been giving gifts to ¡®idol cultivation¡¯. you know that contestants can¡¯t go online for the time being, right?¡± ¡°i do.¡± ¡°the craftsmanship of these gifts will belong to the platform, which is our company. it won¡¯t be in the hands of the contestants. you know that, right?¡± ¡°i do.¡± ¡°then why did you give out so many gifts?!¡± ¡°boss, you¡¯re really something. i¡¯m increasing the company¡¯s profits, but why do you look unhappy?¡± xiao chun had an expression that said, ¡°are you alright?¡± this made luo feng speechless. xiao chun continued, ¡°i farm gifts for the contestants i support. when the other audience sees that other contestants have them, they can¡¯t not have the contestants they support. they will also farm with me! this is called throwing a small bait to catch a big fish!¡± hey, that was actually true. luo feng laughed. ¡°that¡¯s a good idea, but you don¡¯t have to spend so much money. i remember that the flowers alone cost 150 yuan per flower.¡± ¡°what¡¯s wrong with that? ah shuang helped me in the past. i¡¯ll help her gain some popularity as a form of repayment,¡± xiao chun said. ah shuang was the number 15 that she supported. ¡°ah shuang?¡± luo feng found the name familiar. he thought of the child¡¯s letter and smiled. ¡°so it¡¯s her. does she have a sister at home?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! boss, how did you know?¡± xiao chun was puzzled. ¡°ah shuang¡¯s thank-you letter was written by her sister. there¡¯s also a photo of a young lady inside,¡± luo feng said with a smile. luo feng had carefully read every single one of the pile of thank-you letters. some of them had beautiful handwriting, some of them were literary, and some of them were beautiful. what left the deepest impression on luo feng was the letter written with chinese characters in pinyin. he also remembered ah shuang¡¯s name. ¡°it¡¯s not easy for ah shuang either. her parents got into a car accident in their early years and lost their mother. her father is paralyzed at home, and she still has a grandmother in her eighties and a sister who just went to kindergarten to support.¡± xiao chun said sympathetically, ¡°i want to help as much as i can.¡± if the contestants wanted to advance, a large part of it depended on the audience. xiaochun wanted to increase ah shuang¡¯s attractiveness and attract more audience to support her. ¡°speaking of which, the arrogance of the number one on the rankings will also increase the popularity.¡± luo feng used his memories from his previous life to talk about it. xiao chun¡¯s method was indeed useful. ¡°i told you.¡± xiao chun smiled. ¡°boss, don¡¯t worry about me being addicted. i¡¯ll only give what i can.¡± xiaochun put away the teacup fragments and sat down to continue farming gifts. ¡°tomorrow is the first stage. i have to hurry up and push ah shuang¡¯s popularity up so that more of the audience votes for her.¡± xiao chun opened the group chat as she spoke. luo feng saw that the group name was ¡°ah shuang¡¯s family and friends group¡±! there was a person with the nicknames ¡°ah shuang¡¯s father¡± and ¡°third uncle ah shuang¡±. ¡°uncles, good news. our boss has a deep impression of ah shuang!¡± xiao chun shouted in the group chat. luo feng sweated. it turned out that she was supporting ah shuang with the expectations of many people. Chapter 376 - 376 The Broadcast Begins, There Are Many Photos Of The Eye-catching Contestants 376 the broadcast begins, there are many photos of the eye-catching contestants it was the night of the first stage. the highly anticipated ¡°idol cultivation¡± was broadcasted on shanghai tv on time! the pause in the live broadcast did not dampen the enthusiasm of the netizens. many young people who had already bid farewell to television and only played the internet also stood in front of the television on time. the employees of good me company even got off work early to watch the show. this matter even rushed to the trending searches and became a new topic on the internet. at the farmer¡¯s courtyard. xiaochun¡¯s team was also on holiday today. they pulled a curtain in the courtyard and the team members set up small stools, prepared snacks and drinks, and gathered together to wait for the show to begin. ai tingya participated in the filming. luo feng was left alone, so he came to the farmhouse to join in the fun. when he entered, he realized that the cameraman was still holding a camera and filming xiaochun and tang jin¡¯s backs. seeing this, luo feng was very touched. he was really too professional. he did not forget to work at all times. even when he was resting, he would immediately enter a working state when he saw the best scene. ¡°hey! the boss is here!¡± benson shouted. ¡°bring a stool out for the boss too!¡± benson came to shanghai alone to work and did not have many friends. he came to join in the fun like luo feng. ¡°everyone is here. let¡¯s take a look together,¡± luo feng said. ¡°boss, this cake tastes pretty good. do you want something sweet or salty?¡± yang tianzhen walked out of the house with a box of new products. these were all test products that would be released in future videos. luo feng touched his stomach and happened to be hungry. he squatted in front of a few snack boxes to choose what he wanted to eat. at this moment, hui xin came out of the kitchen and placed a plate of sizzling lamb chops on the table. ¡°it¡¯s freshly roasted. come and fill your stomachs. the boss is here too?! this is the biggest piece for you!¡± after xiaochun and tang jin finished filming, they also went into the kitchen to help. the preparations today were really sumptuous. other than luo feng and yang tianzhen, everyone went in and out of the kitchen several times and brought out a large table of freshly cooked delicacies. ¡°even watching the world cup isn¡¯t this grand,¡± luo feng said in surprise. ¡°did you guys make all the food for the next week?¡± xiaochun said, ¡°i know there are a lot of people today, so i made a little more. if you can¡¯t finish it, bring it back. it can even be used as a breakfast dinner.¡± other than luo feng and yang tianzhen, almost all the people sitting in the farmyard were young people who had come to work hard. they lived alone in the big city for their dreams. like duckweed, it rose and fell in the torrent of a big city. it was difficult for them to take root, making them wonder if they had made the right choice. meanwhile, the farmyard was like a world that belonged to them. here, with a group of friends, they also felt like home. ¡°let¡¯s toast to the success of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯!¡± xiao chun raised her glass. even though this variety show had nothing to do with them, everyone still paid attention to it as if they were concerned about their careers. there was no other reason, just that this variety show was promoted by luo feng. everyone had more or less participated in the preparatory work. ¡°thank you, everyone.¡± luo feng was touched and happily drank the beer in his glass. when he lowered his head again, he realized that everyone was already holding their phones and looking at them seriously. ¡°what are you doing?¡± luo feng thought that everyone was gathered to watch a variety show. why did they start playing with their phones again? ¡°increasing the popularity!¡± tang jin did not even look up. ¡°i¡¯m making it popular for the contestants i like.¡± luo feng glanced at them one by one and realized that they were all copying some encouraging words to the topics of the various contestants. the higher the topic, the higher the chances of the contestants advancing. it seemed that it was not just because it was a variety show from the same company, but because everyone was really immersed in it. as the behind-the-scenes operator, luo feng sat in the crowd and stared at the screen alone. he felt a little out of place. he didn¡¯t have any contestants he supported, nor did he have to do data. he fought a war of words with the supporters of the other contestants. ¡°am i old?¡± in luo feng¡¯s opinion, the show officially began. ¡°coming, coming!¡± everyone sat up straight. when they saw the opening of the program, they were so excited that they could not control themselves. in the usual live broadcasts, many people had already found the contestants they supported. they could finally see the contestants they liked on the field, and they were looking forward to finally appearing online after a few months. tang jin was even more exaggerated. she had to watch the show and do data at the same time. she also had to discuss passionately with her friends in the fan group. she wished she had three heads and six arms to take care of the three parties. the first stage was a live broadcast, which tested everyone at the venue. from ai tingya¡¯s opening to introducing the mentors, the contestants finally went on stage one by one. the singing and dancing programs were prepared one after another. the reactions of the live audience and mentors were very real. even the audience in front of the television was very immersed. overall, they cooperated very well with each other, and the programs they prepared were also one surprise after another. between advertisements, luo feng took the time to look at his phone. as expected, ¡°idol cultivation¡± was ranked first on the trending searches and was not affected by the fight. the netizens on the trending searches were all sharing the highlights of their discovery. ¡°number 24, zhang xiuying. her singing and dancing are superb, and her voice is unique. it gives me goosebumps!¡± ¡°number three is so funny. an interesting soul is one in a million. please support her!¡± ¡°number 15, i love you! don¡¯t worry, ah shuang. i¡¯ll always be with you! chirp!¡± ¡°ahhh! number 49 is participating with an injury, and yet her stage performance is so perfect. it¡¯s not a loss to invest in her, my friends!¡± ¡°no one likes the female emcee? then i¡¯ll take her away!¡± ¡°stop, emcee ai is mine! if you¡¯re not convinced, come and fight!¡± the topic of discussion was very high. the audience also gave them face. from the stage effect to the camera language, from the performance of the contestants to the mentor¡¯s comments, they praised everything. luo feng used his money ability. everything at the scene was top-notch, so it produced a very eye-catching scene effect. ¡°the director is so steady. he¡¯s so good at controlling the rhythm of the live broadcast!¡± yang tianzhen took a bite of the steak and did not forget to praise the director¡¯s ability. outsiders only looked at the stage and the performance of the contestants. most of the people gathered in the farmyard to watch the show were behind-the-scenes. they could tell at a glance that the staff members were extraordinary. ¡°the executive director, zachary, was sent over by shanghai tv station. i heard that the director¡¯s work is very recognized internationally,¡± luo feng said. ¡°director zachary!¡± the cameraman¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°i know! he¡¯s a very awesome director. his documentary, road, has been translated into 23 chinese languages and broadcasted in many countries! the viewership ratings are all very good!¡± sometimes, the audience¡¯s reputation was more valuable than the awards. luo feng also acknowledged zachary¡¯s ability. the audience¡¯s reaction could not be faked after all. at this moment, xiao chun suddenly squatted beside luo feng with a smile. ¡°boss, ah shuang¡¯s father asked me to thank you.¡± ¡°huh?¡± luo feng was puzzled. what was there to thank? Chapter 377 - 377 Visiting My Wife, Long Time No See 377 visiting my wife, long time no see time passed very quickly. the one-hour program ended in a lively manner. netizens complained online that they couldn¡¯t get enough of it. there were even some who went to the account of the innovative artist company to shout for an extended time. luo feng expressed his helplessness. ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ mainly focused on companionship after all. it was broadcasted during working hours six days a week. was there a need to increase the market? for the first time, he felt that this matter could not be resolved by himself. ¡°hehehe, boss, ah shuang¡¯s father asked me to thank you.¡± xiao chun walked over and squatted beside luo feng. ¡°huh? for what?¡± luo feng was puzzled. he only had an impression of ah shuang¡¯s name. as for what she looked like, luo feng did not know. ¡°don¡¯t play dumb.¡± xiao chun blinked her big eyes and looked up at luo feng in admiration. ¡°there are so many scenes of ah shuang on the first stage. you must have taken special care of her.¡± when yang tianzhen, who was sitting at the side, heard this, he hurriedly tugged at xiaochun to stop her from spouting nonsense. xiaochun thought that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, boss. i was just guessing. i told them not to talk nonsense.¡± she hid to the side and sent a message to the group. luo feng looked at yang tianzhen and said, ¡°does ah shuang really have a lot of scenes?¡± yang tianzhen looked at the curtain and nodded sincerely. ¡°indeed. she¡¯s indeed quite capable and outstanding on stage, but there will be a few scenes when she¡¯s sitting at the waiting table.¡± ah shuang¡¯s face was round and had a childish innocence. however, after standing on the stage, her dance posture and expression were very enchanting. the strong contrast made her more outstanding. yang tianzhen knew that luo feng didn¡¯t like to use connections. otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have strictly scrutinized the character of the contestants and prevented all actions that would affect fairness by getting in through the back door. besides, they were neither relatives nor friends. luo feng had no reason to ask the live cameras to take care of ah shuang. he did not even remember what she looked like after all. ¡°maybe it¡¯s because xiaochun pays special attention to ah shuang¡¯s camera, so she thinks it¡¯s too much,¡± yang tianzhen explained. however, luo feng did not think much of it. ¡°an hour has 60 minutes. fifty contestants can barely make it in one minute per person, not to mention the scenes of the emcee¡¯s introduction, the teachers and audience.¡± yang tianzhen couldn¡¯t find an answer. luo feng continued, ¡°not only does xiaochun think so, but ah shuang¡¯s father also thinks so. so much so that he wants to thank me. something¡¯s wrong!¡± ¡°boss, aren¡¯t you thinking too much?¡± yang tianzhen asked. luo feng stared at the screen that was already showing advertisements. ¡°i¡¯ll go to the venue tomorrow to take a look. otherwise, i feel strange.¡± ¡°then i¡¯ll accompany you.¡± benson stood up and volunteered. there were also trainees among the contestants that she was once familiar with. she could use this opportunity to cheer for them. yang tianzhen rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°don¡¯t you understand what boss means?¡± benson looked back at him in confusion. was he not allowed to follow or what? yang tianzhen winked at him. seeing that benson did not understand what she meant, she pulled him to the kitchen. ¡°are you stupid? the boss must have used an excuse to see the lady boss. after all, a day apart from a young couple is like three autumns. go be a third wheel!¡± ¡°oh!!!¡± benson was enlightened. that was close. he almost ate dog food again. ¡°but what if the boss really goes to patrol?¡± benson firmly believed that luo feng still had a career heart and would not only dote on his wife. ¡°if there¡¯s really a need, boss will call us. to be safe, let boss go alone first,¡± yang tianzhen said. this was what he had summarized from countless lessons. ¡°you¡¯re so thoughtful.¡± ¡°hmph, of course.¡± the two of them reached a consensus and said that they had other work to do. luo feng thought that since he was only going to take a look, he could do it alone. moreover, tingya was also recording, so he agreed happily. ¡­ at the recording location of ¡°my idol is here¡±. when ai tingya saw luo feng standing at the door with a bouquet of flowers, she was still in a daze. she stood on the spot and looked at luo feng in a daze. ¡°why are you stunned?¡± luo feng walked up to ai tingya and handed her a large bouquet of roses. ¡°wow!¡± the contestants who were rehearsing the new show let out envious sighs. luo feng gestured for the contestants to continue practicing. he put his arm around ai tingya¡¯s shoulder and walked out of the training room. ai tingya held the flowers in her hands. happiness surrounded her like the fragrance of flowers. ¡°why didn¡¯t you let me know you were coming? you¡¯re making a fool of yourself.¡± ¡°how is this making a fool of myself?¡± luo feng said seriously. ¡°who dares to laugh at our lady boss!¡± ¡°you¡¯re really¡­¡± ai tingya patted luo feng¡¯s chest with her fist and leaned on his shoulder. ¡°it¡¯s been a long time. i miss you so much.¡± ¡°did it go smoothly here? does anyone dare to bully you?¡± luo feng patted ai tingya¡¯s back with heartache. she looked like she had lost weight. it seemed like she was too tired. ¡°it¡¯s alright. everyone is very hardworking. we don¡¯t have to put in much effort usually,¡± ai tingya said softly. if the contestants saw her cute and lovable appearance, they would definitely be very surprised. ai tingya was usually decisive and agile after all. she was so powerful that she seemed to be able to hold up the sky alone. it was difficult to imagine her acting coquettishly with others. perhaps only in front of luo feng would ai tingya show her feminine side. however, even though she was acting cute, ai tingya knew that luo feng was definitely not just here to visit her. ¡°why are you here?¡± ¡°a little.¡± the two of them tacitly entered work mode and chatted as they walked towards the leisure area. there was no one in the leisure area during the day, and the cameras here were all turned off. they would only turn them on when the contestants arrived, so they did not have to worry about being broadcast live. ¡°have you seen the complete video of the first stage? do you have any thoughts?¡± luo feng asked. ai tingya was very sensitive so she immediately knew what he meant. ¡°number 15 has a lot of scenes. is that what you want to say?¡± luo feng kissed ai tingya on the cheek. ¡°as expected of my tingya. you hit the nail on the head. do you know the reason?¡± ai tingya blushed and put work first in all seriousness. ¡°i watched the finished video last night. perhaps the cameraman is biased. number 15 is indeed very photogenic. i¡¯ve already sent a message to the cameraman this morning to ask him to pay attention.¡± ¡°there¡¯s nothing else?¡± luo feng asked. ai tingya thought for a moment and said, ¡°i don¡¯t think so. i¡¯ll be more careful.¡± she was the emcee on stage and the manager below the stage. she was in charge of the filming too. ai tingya had also noticed the problem with the first stage, but she thought that the cameraman was focused on filming a few more eye-catching girls to capture the audience. this was understandable. she did not expect luo feng to come personally because of this. ¡°just because of this?¡± ai tingya asked. ¡°nothing else?¡± ¡°also, i came to see you,¡± luo feng said. ¡°this is a top priority matter, hahaha.¡± ai tingya chuckled. ¡°you¡¯re being unreasonable. since you¡¯re already here, you should go and greet director zachary.¡± Chapter 378 - 378 A Lure, Invitation From The Director 378 a lure, invitation from the director ai tingya felt that zachary was quite capable after spending a week together. everyone could see how stunning he was on the first stage after all. furthermore, zachary was a director who had come from shanghai tv station. it was necessary for the boss to greet him when he came to inspect work. luo feng nodded. ¡°i was too busy previously and didn¡¯t even have time to eat. i can take this opportunity to greet him.¡± the two of them passed through the lounge area and walked to the staff rest area. this was a place without cameras. at that time, luo feng had considered that the contestants would also have special circumstances that did not look like they had entered the country, so he had prepared many lounges here. the male and female sections were divided into two sides, and the director¡¯s lounge was at the top of the male section. the two of them chatted as they walked up. luo feng unintentionally saw someone enter the male area. ¡°someone went in just now,¡± luo feng said. ai tingya¡¯s attention was on luo feng. when she looked again, he had already entered. ¡°is he a staff member?¡± ¡°she should be a contestant,¡± luo feng said. ¡°she¡¯s wearing a pinkish-gray training suit. also, she has a large number 15 label on her.¡± ai tingya immediately perked up. wasn¡¯t number 15, ah shuang, the girl who had a lot of scenes this time? the program had a clear rule. if there were no special circumstances, contestants had to apply in advance to enter the staff rest area and get permission. ah shuang¡¯s actions were clearly against the rules. ai tingya had a bad feeling when she thought about how many scenes she had on the first stage. luo feng bumped her shoulder and pulled her along. ¡°follow them and take a look.¡± the two of them walked quickly and quickly caught up to ah shuang. they fell behind her and followed her up the stairs to the highest floor. then, ah shuang stopped in front of director zachary¡¯s door and knocked lightly. ¡°director, i¡¯m coming in.¡± after ah shuang entered, luo feng and ai tingya quickly followed. they saw that the door had opened a crack and they could see inside. the director¡¯s room had one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. the moment he entered, he saw the sofa and the difference in price. zachary was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, one hand constantly touching the empty seat beside him. ah shuang stood in front of zachary and asked, ¡°director, why are you looking for me?¡± zachary¡¯s eye sockets were very deep, and his eyes seemed to be nestled inside as he sized her up. he stroked his chin and said, ¡°i remember that you guys don¡¯t allow all communication devices that can be connected to the outside world, right?¡± ah shuang nodded. ¡°yes, to be fair.¡± zachary took out his phone and placed it on the coffee table. he leaned back on the sofa and said, ¡°do you want to know about your performance yesterday?¡± ah shuang fell silent. luo feng and ai tingya could not see her expression, but they could tell from her hands that she was very tempted. after hesitating for a while, ah shuang said, ¡°no¡­ no need. thank you, director, i have to abide by the rules.¡± seeing that she wasn¡¯t going to take the bait, zachary revealed a determined smile. he patted the seat beside him and said, ¡°sit down and talk slowly.¡± ah shuang didn¡¯t choose to sit beside zachary. instead, she sat in another single seat. ¡°director, is there anything else? i still have to go back and rehearse for the new stage.¡± zachary didn¡¯t answer. instead, he asked, ¡°i heard that your family¡¯s conditions aren¡¯t very good. your father¡­ isn¡¯t in good health either.¡± he focused on ah shuang¡¯s paralyzed father. ah shuang lowered her eyes. her face, which was full of vitality, was also covered with a layer of gloom. ¡°you guys are going to be sealed here for more than three months. don¡¯t you want to call home and ask?¡± zachary continued to guide ah shuang. the first condition was already very tempting. in order to be fair, ah shuang refused to look at her phone. however, her family had always been ah shuang¡¯s concern. she thought of her aged grandmother and young sister. she really wanted to hear their voices. she wanted to ask her father if he had watched yesterday¡¯s show. did they feel that she was different on stage? ah shuang pursed her lips and tightened her grip on the corner of her shirt. after struggling for a moment, she said carefully, ¡°can i really call my father?¡± ¡°of course you can. otherwise, i wouldn¡¯t have asked you to come alone.¡± zachary¡¯s smile widened. ah shuang held the phone with both hands. she was still struggling internally. she looked up and said, ¡°just three minutes!¡± ¡°you can call as long as you want.¡± zachary was very generous. ah shuang dialed the number based on her memory. the few seconds of waiting for the call to connect seemed to be as long as a few hours. ¡°hello? hello! daddy, it¡¯s ah shuang. i borrowed the director¡¯s phone to call you. i only have three minutes!¡± ah shuang started crying. ¡°i¡¯m fine here. how are you feeling?¡± ¡°yes, yes. i¡¯ll take care of myself. you and grandma, too.¡± ¡°if little sister is naughty, i¡¯ll beat her up when i get back. don¡¯t worry¡­ mm-hm, it¡¯s fine as long as she¡¯s obedient.¡± ¡°did you watch tv last night? thank you, dad. i¡¯ll keep working hard!¡± ¡°remember to remind grandma to take her medicine on time. if the leftovers are spoiled, don¡¯t eat them. i can already earn money!¡± ah shuang cried as she spoke quickly, as if she had a basket of words to answer. even though luo feng and ai tingya could not hear what ah shuang¡¯s father said, they could roughly guess from ah shuang¡¯s answer. it was nothing more than trivial instructions. just like every time his parents or professor ai called. no matter how old they were, their parents would always be worried about their children. ¡°yes, yes. i¡¯ll eat well and won¡¯t lose weight. you guys take care of your bodies too. i¡¯ll work hard!¡± ah shuang sniffed. ¡°three minutes are up. i¡¯m hanging up.¡± she hung up decisively and stared blankly at the two minutes and 59 seconds of call time on the screen for a while. ah shuang quickly composed herself and handed the phone to him with both hands. ¡°thank you, director.¡± ¡°you¡¯re welcome.¡± zachary held his phone in one hand and wiped shuang¡¯s tears with a tissue in the other. ¡°director!¡± realizing that the action had crossed the line, she took a tissue and hurriedly stood up to distance herself. she didn¡¯t dare to move even if zachary didn¡¯t say that he was leaving. she stared at the tip of her shoe awkwardly. ¡°how¡¯s your father¡¯s health?¡± zachary made small talk as if nothing had happened. ah shuang nodded vigorously. ¡°he must be very satisfied with your performance last night.¡± zachary leaned lazily against the sofa and said, ¡°it¡¯s no wonder. i gave you the most scenes after all.¡± ¡°thank¡­ thank you, director.¡± ah shuang bowed 90 degrees, her heart beating nervously. the director obviously had other motives for calling her over. she could not thank him from the bottom of her heart. ¡°there¡¯s no need to thank me. after all, your performance is really very good.¡± zachary smiled. ¡°but i also discovered other girls with good performances yesterday. you might not have so many scenes next time.¡± facing the blatant threat and temptation, ah shuang bit her lips tightly and did not speak. zachary leaned forward slightly and stared at her impressive breasts. ¡°actually, you don¡¯t have to work so hard. i have many ways to help you.¡± Chapter 379 - 379 Be Brave, What Did He Do? 379 be brave, what did he do? zachary took out his phone again and placed it on the table. he said in a bewitching voice, ¡°you spoke to your family on the phone just now. don¡¯t you want to see the comments about you on the internet again? many people like your dance very much and are much better than your teammates.¡± ah shuang knew that the reason why she could widen the gap was because the director had given her a lot of scenes. moreover, to be honest, after the first stage ended, all the contestants were very curious about the audience¡¯s evaluation of them. some people were even worried that the show would be boring and no one would watch it. it was the same for ah shuang. she accepted zachary¡¯s first suggestion to call her family. zachary¡¯s second suggestion didn¡¯t seem that difficult to accept. many thoughts flashed through her mind. no one knew that she had come here after all. ah shuang¡¯s heart wavered. zachary threw out trojan horse after trojan horse, giving her other ideas. ¡°no! no! i can¡¯t do this!¡± ah shuang slapped her cheeks so hard that they turned red before she stopped. ¡°the boss gave us the stage so that we could show ourselves. it¡¯s not fair for me to do this to others!¡± upon hearing this, zachary¡¯s patience ran out. he retracted his smile and said, ¡°aren¡¯t you afraid that i won¡¯t give you a single shot in the future? don¡¯t forget, if you want to advance, the audience¡¯s opinion is also very important!¡± if she wanted to be liked by the audience, she had to show off more. zachary snuffed out the camera that ah shuang was showing. it was impossible for the audience to notice her. ¡°are you sure you don¡¯t want to accept my good intentions?¡± zachary smiled sinisterly and said, ¡°think about it carefully. there won¡¯t be a second chance once you leave this door.¡± ah shuang stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. the tears that had yet to dry flowed out again. ¡°director, don¡¯t be like this. the boss and the lady boss don¡¯t like this kind of thing.¡± ¡°heh, i don¡¯t care if they like it or not. don¡¯t forget that i¡¯m the director!¡± zachary was very arrogant. ¡°the show will be a pile of mud without me. by the way, if you make me unhappy, i don¡¯t want to continue working here either.¡± another big hat was pinned on her. ah shuang was just a normal girl from a poor family. how could she have the confidence to challenge the executive director? ¡°director, don¡¯t¡­ i¡­ i apologize to you!¡± ah shuang kept bowing. ¡°i¡¯m sorry! i¡¯m sorry! forgive me! i really want to stand on the stage. i don¡¯t care about the ranking. i just hope that i won¡¯t let down my previous efforts. director, i really¡­¡± outside the door. luo feng and ai tingya listened to ah shuang¡¯s begging. the two of them clenched their fists, but they did not act rashly. ¡°it¡¯s probably not sincere to just use your mouth to apologize.¡± zachary loosened his belt. ¡°your mouth can also be used for other things, understand?¡± ah shuang¡¯s face turned red and she was so frightened that she could not speak. zachary was still waiting for her to give in. he was confident that she would. ¡°i¡­ i don¡¯t know!¡± in her panic, ah shuang ran out of the door. zachary¡¯s scolding came from behind, followed by heavy footsteps. the empty corridor seemed to run forever. ah shuang lowered her head and ran down. she didn¡¯t dare to look back, but she was sure that zachary was still chasing after her. her hands and feet felt sore. she was anxious and afraid, and she could not run anymore. suddenly! a hand reached out from behind the security door and pulled ah shuang in. then, the other hand quickly covered ah shuang¡¯s mouth without making a sound. ¡°stupid girl, you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you. just you wait!¡± in the corridor, zachary walked over while cursing. when it calmed down outside, ah shuang still had lingering fears. her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. she remembered that someone had saved her. she turned around and saw that it was actually ai tingya! ¡°emcee ai!¡± ah shuang almost cried out, but ai tingya quickly covered her mouth. ¡°shh.¡± ai tingya raised her finger and pointed outside the door. ah shuang endured it for a while and stared at ai tingya¡¯s face in a daze. the gentle person who appeared in front of her in time made her terrified heart completely lose it. at that moment, pressure and grievance surged out. ah shuang couldn¡¯t help but cry. she hugged ai tingya. ¡°sob sob sob, emcee ai, i made a mistake. i¡¯m sorry! i don¡¯t know what to do!¡± ai tingya didn¡¯t bring any tissues, so she could only wipe her tears with her sleeve. after a while, his sleeves were all wet. ¡°stop crying. tell me what happened.¡± she and luo feng had left early just now and could not see the end. ah shuang smacked her lips and lowered her head. she did not dare to say it. zachary was the executive director of the show, the heart of whether the entire show could proceed normally after all. ai tingya, as the lady boss, would be on the executive director¡¯s side no matter what. ah shuang wanted to continue staying in the show. the safest way was to keep the peace. she thought that if she helped zachary hide it, zachary would probably let her off too. ¡°i¡¯m¡­ i¡¯m fine. i¡¯m fine.¡± ah shuang lowered her head. ¡°is that so?¡± ai tingya¡¯s gaze turned serious. ¡°if you don¡¯t tell us, we can¡¯t help you.¡± ah shuang¡¯s heart, which had yet to calm down, instantly rose again. ¡°em¡­ emcee ai?¡± usually, ai tingya was kind and amiable. when she was in trouble, she was also as resolute as a female warrior. all the contestants liked her very much and would confide in her when they had a little trouble. ai tingya would also listen very patiently and not be impatient at all. she had never pulled a long face. ah shuang sensed that ai tingya must know something, but she was worried that she would be treated as a bad person. but she didn¡¯t know how to say it. ai tingya grabbed ah shuang¡¯s shoulder and looked straight into her eyes. ¡°it¡¯s okay, ah shuang. no matter what happens, we will help you. do you believe us?¡± ah shuang nodded vigorously. ¡°of course i believe you, but it¡¯s really hard to say. let me think about it, okay?¡± ¡°okay.¡± ai tingya let go of ah shuang. ¡°let¡¯s go back first.¡± she pulled open the fire door. ah shuang obediently walked out first and stood rooted to the ground. ¡°stupid girl, let¡¯s see where you can run to!¡± zachary, who was catching her, happened to bump into ah shuang. a sinister smile appeared on his face. ¡°it seems like you want to do this the hard way. come here!¡± he reached out to grab it, and ah shuang screamed in fear. ai tingya grabbed ah shuang¡¯s hand and pulled her behind her. zachary didn¡¯t expect ai tingya to be here. his eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly retracted his hand that was about to accidentally injure ai tingya. the atmosphere instantly froze. zachary didn¡¯t feel guilty at all when he saw ai tingya here. instead, he smiled and said, ¡°emcee ai, what are you doing here?¡± ai tingya didn¡¯t waste her breath on him and went straight to the point. ¡°director zachary, the principle of this variety show is fairness. you know that, right?¡± ¡°i know.¡± zachary shrugged nonchalantly. ¡°didn¡¯t you guys conduct training with great fanfare before filming started? not only the contestants, but even the employees are the same.¡± of course, zachary didn¡¯t participate because he was the executive director. ai tingya said, ¡°since you know, why did you call the contestants over? private befriending between contestants and employees is also not allowed. don¡¯t you know?!¡± Chapter 380 - 380 Fight Until The End, Never Compromise! 380 fight until the end, never compromise! ai tingya¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud, but her aura was rather impressive. zachary was middle-aged, but he didn¡¯t expect to be yelled at by the little girl one day. for a moment, he forgot to refute. ah shuang hid behind ai tingya. her tears were like broken beads that kept dripping down. she knew that she did not do anything wrong and did not understand why she should be so timid. ¡°don¡¯t cry!¡± ai tingya wiped away ah shuang¡¯s tears. ¡°to tell you the truth, we heard everything you said in the room just now. you didn¡¯t do anything wrong, so there¡¯s no need to be afraid!¡± ¡°em¡­ emcee ai¡­¡± ah shuang was so sad that she couldn¡¯t speak. she threw herself into ai tingya¡¯s arms. she was extremely glad that she hadn¡¯t fallen for zachary¡¯s trick. fortunately, she had kept her bottom line, and there were still people who were willing to stand on her side. ai tingya shielded her and glared at zachary. ¡°director zachary, do you have an explanation for this?¡± ¡°explain?¡± zachary sneered contemptuously, not taking ai tingya¡¯s accusation seriously. ¡°how normal is this? is there a need to be so overboard?¡± it was normal to get in through the back door in any industry. especially in the entertainment industry, which was known for fame and fortune, good resources were always in the hands of a small number of people. most newcomers would rack their brains to get in. zachary felt that he was giving ah shuang a chance. if others wanted to curry favor with him, he might not take them seriously. he rolled his eyes at ai tingya. he felt that women liked to make a mountain out of a molehill. it would be a waste of breath to explain to someone without any foresight. ¡°i¡¯ll be honest too. the contestants here are pretty good. if they¡¯re willing to listen to me, i can get them other resources after this show.¡± zachary looked at her and said, ¡°you don¡¯t want to lose your job right after graduation, right?¡± in front of ai tingya, zachary wasn¡¯t afraid at all and threatened her even more directly. ah shuang grabbed ai tingya¡¯s clothes tightly and sobbed softly. she thought of her father, grandmother, and little sister waiting for her at home. ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ was really her last hope. ¡°don¡¯t be afraid!¡± ai tingya grabbed ah shuang¡¯s wrist, giving her support and courage. she looked back at zachary fearlessly. ¡°please take back what you just said and apologize to contestant no. 15 and all the contestants here! they¡¯re here to pursue their dreams, not for you to choose!¡± a series of stern questions sounded very funny to zachary. ¡°hahahaha! you want me to apologize? what right do you have to talk to me like that?¡± zachary completely fell out with him. ¡°oh right, i forgot that you¡¯re the lady boss. your husband made this show for you.¡± ¡°you¡¯re quite pretty too. did you get to where you are today by sleeping with men? why are you pretending to be pure? dreams? don¡¯t make me laugh. the people who came to your lousy show want to earn money!¡± zachary¡¯s smile became more and more unbridled, and his gaze also swept back and forth across ai tingya¡¯s chest. he licked his lips and imagined ai tingya¡¯s taste. from the moment he saw ai tingya, he had other thoughts. a woman as beautiful as ai tingya was rare even in the entertainment industry after all. previously, because ai tingya was the lady boss, he felt that it would not be good to sleep with his employer¡¯s wife. it didn¡¯t matter now. ¡°if you have the ability, fire me. do you dare?¡± zachary hooted. ¡°i¡¯m the executive director. can your show survive without me?¡± ai tingya didn¡¯t answer. she stared at zachary with even more disgust. zachary thought that she was afraid and said with a smile, ¡°i knew you won¡¯t dare to fire me. not to mention you, even if your husband came over, he wouldn¡¯t dare to fire me either. i know that you guys spent a lot of money on this variety show. you don¡¯t want all this money to go down the drain, right? why are you pretending to be noble? pfft!¡± ¡°you¡¯re not allowed to scold emcee ai!¡± ah shuang mustered her courage and shouted, ¡°you¡¯re not allowed to scold emcee ai!¡± she was still very afraid, and her hands were shaking so much that she couldn¡¯t stop. however, she could not tolerate ai tingya being humiliated for her sake! ¡°so what if i scolded her? do you think she dares to speak?¡± zachary rubbed his chin and said, ¡°the two of you, apologize to me properly and make it up to me. i¡¯ll pretend that this never happened and continue directing your show. otherwise, find someone else!¡± ¡°then please leave!¡± at this moment, luo feng¡¯s low voice sounded in the corridor. he stood at the corner with one hand in his pocket, and there were people behind him. there were contestants participating in the competition, as well as staff behind the scenes. they filled the corridor, looking at zachary with half shock and half disgust. luo feng walked up the steps to ai tingya¡¯s side and looked up at zachary. ¡°zachary, please leave immediately!¡± ¡°you!¡± zachary didn¡¯t expect luo feng to be so unyielding. ¡°you chased me away halfway. do you think anyone will dare to take over? this matter won¡¯t end just like that!¡± ¡°indeed,¡± luo feng said expressionlessly. ¡°this matter can¡¯t end so simply since you insulted my wife.¡± luo feng raised the recording pen and said, ¡°go back and wait for the summons! my wife and my contestant are not people you can bully casually!¡± whoosh! thunderous applause erupted from downstairs. the people who were looking forward to fairness agreed with luo feng¡¯s decision. ¡°you guys¡­¡± this was zachary¡¯s first time losing so much face, and it was in front of so many people. his face was red and he was so anxious that he could not say a complete sentence. after adjusting for a long time, he threatened luo feng fiercely, ¡°if you offend me, you¡¯ll offend our television station. think carefully!¡± luo feng said calmly, ¡°i¡¯ll personally send the recording to the director and let him judge who¡¯s right and who¡¯s wrong!¡± zachary recalled that luo feng was a collaborator appointed by the director, so he would definitely have some scruples. he was indeed being unreasonable this time. he looked at luo feng and then at the onlookers. he lowered his stance and said, ¡°boss luo, there are some things that won¡¯t look good on the table. if there are any conflicts, we can resolve them in private. there¡¯s no need to disturb the director.¡± zachary had always known the director¡¯s temper. he usually turned a blind eye to it. however, if it was put on the table, he would definitely not tolerate it. he didn¡¯t want to make a big deal out of it. luo feng said, ¡°director zachary, before this, my wife has already given you a chance to apologize to the contestant. my wife¡¯s gentle decision was exchanged for your humiliation. i can¡¯t let it go just like that!¡± he wanted to be tough to the end! was this always the right way? was it because the unspoken mutual understanding in the entertainment industry was a secret that everyone had to be stirred into mud? luo feng did not believe it! he wanted the audience to choose the celebrity they liked fairly. previously, he had only reviewed the conditions of the contestants and not the staff. it was his negligence. today, in front of everyone, luo feng wanted to make his attitude clear¡ªno one could mess around here, not even the executive director! Chapter 381 - 381 Leave, I Wont Forgive You! 381 leave, i won¡¯t forgive you! zachary was in a complete mess. he had been in the industry for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen a stubborn fellow like luo feng. it was not beneficial for both sides to fall out. how could he be as stubborn as a donkey? he was already the boss of the company, yet he still wanted to act like a hothead. did he not know how to be flexible?! zachary roared in his heart. if this matter were to spread, where would he put his face! he had already taken a step back. why wasn¡¯t luo feng giving him a way out? zachary was used to being tactful. the people in the circle dealt with things peacefully, and it was rare for things to become so awkward. why didn¡¯t luo feng understand? he stared into luo feng¡¯s deep eyes and knew that the other party had no intention of joking. neither side was willing to take another step back. they faced each other in silence. the contestants and employees who were watching the show hoped that they could take out their phones and record this rare moment. the boss was arguing for these inconspicuous contestants! not only were they fighting for benefits, but even the self-esteem that was the easiest to ignore was also within luo feng¡¯s range of consideration. back then, one of the important factors in luo feng¡¯s selection of the contestants was quality. did they have any stains on their lives over the past 20 years? at that time, the contestants thought that it was just an ordinary request. this was nothing new. many celebrities who had debuted had done all sorts of things before they became famous, causing the company¡¯s previous nurturing to go down the drain. therefore, the contestants understood and were glad that they were honest and dutiful people. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect the boss to have a deeper meaning!¡± ¡°he¡¯s really doing his best to uphold fairness and justice!¡± ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter even if the boss compromises. we¡¯re already directors. we¡¯ll be more careful in the future.¡± ¡°thank you, boss.¡± most of the people standing here had suffered unfair treatment. they were especially grateful that luo feng and ai tingya could stand up for them. protecting ah shuang alone was protecting everyone here. at the same time, everyone realized a very realistic problem. zachary¡¯s position as the executive director was difficult to shake. if luo feng insisted on kicking him out, the show would welcome a lot of trouble in the future. it was good for the contestants and the show itself to let zachary stay. luo feng¡¯s attitude had already touched the contestants very much. it didn¡¯t matter even if zachary stayed. everyone hoped that the show could proceed normally. ¡°luo feng.¡± ai tingya tugged at the corner of luo feng¡¯s shirt and whispered, ¡°he¡¯s a great senior after all. it¡¯s not good to leave no room for negotiation.¡± ah shuang, who was behind him, said, ¡°that¡¯s right, boss. the director has already given in. let¡¯s just forget about this matter.¡± the spectating contestants and employees had the same thought. they had put in a lot of effort for ¡°idol cultivation¡±. he couldn¡¯t let it go to waste just because of zachary. zachary also understood this, so he gave luo feng a way out first. coupled with the help of the others, everyone pretended that this had never happened. the surrounding persuasion fell into luo feng¡¯s ears one by one. he looked at zachary, who was determined to win. would this person really realize his mistake? no. he would only feel that the timing was not right and the person he chose was not right. he would never think that flirting with a contestant was wrong. he wondered how many innocent girls had been led astray by him. luo feng looked down on such people. ¡°director zachary, you¡¯ve heard everyone¡¯s opinions,¡± luo feng said. zachary thought that luo feng was going to relent and said smugly, ¡°of course, everyone has put in so much effort for the show. if it stops broadcasting, they will definitely suffer a huge loss. no one wants to see such a situation.¡± since they didn¡¯t want to see it, he shouldn¡¯t chase after it! luo feng nodded, agreeing with zachary. there were 10 to 20 sponsors alone after all. if there was negative news about the show, it would also affect the advertisers. they would definitely pay some compensation for breach of contract. not to mention the construction of the venue. the employees¡¯ salaries had been invested nearly 100 million yuan in the early stages. the first episode¡¯s broadcast had a very good effect, and the audience also accepted director zachary¡¯s rhythm. a change of director at the last minute would definitely be seen through, and the audience might even be lost. moreover, changing the executive director during the filming of the show was unheard of in the entire industry. no one liked a situation where both sides suffered losses. they thought that it would be over after enduring for a while. however, luo feng refused! ¡°this matter can end here.¡± luo feng relented, and the surrounding people heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. ¡°director zachary, you can leave after apologizing.¡± as soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent. was the boss really going to chase the executive director away? he really dared to chase the executive director away? everyone could not believe their ears and hurriedly asked the people around them for confirmation. obviously, everyone heard the same thing. zachary was the most dumbfounded one! how could luo feng dare to do this? ¡°do you know how much loss your show will suffer if you lose me?!¡± zachary¡¯s eyes were red as he roared and questioned luo feng. ¡°of course i know,¡± luo feng said calmly. ¡°but for the sake of the future development of the show, i can¡¯t use you anymore!¡± would zachary change after this? luo feng didn¡¯t think so. the decision to change directors seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill, but it was actually to ensure stable development in the future. human nature was fragile. there was no guarantee that no one would have other thoughts when they saw that zachary had a loophole to exploit. the two sides could hit it off immediately and be in cahoots. moreover, if he compromised this time, zachary would be fearless and cause other trouble in the future. since he was not punished when he made a mistake, he would make a second mistake. luo feng had been reborn and knew better than anyone else how terrible it was to make a second mistake. he repeated word by word, ¡°please leave after apologizing.¡± luo feng kept the recording pen in his pocket in front of zachary. in other words, he wanted to tell zachary that he didn¡¯t want to make a big deal out of this matter. as long as he listened to the arrangements, this scandal would never see the light of day. zachary clenched and unclenched his fists. the veins under his loose skin were throbbing, and his face was flushed as his breathing quickened. as a famous director who had won countless awards, he actually had to apologize to a junior? luo feng waited expressionlessly. ¡°i¡¯m sorry¡­¡± a moment later, zachary mumbled. everyone gasped and wanted to cover their eyes. it was as if they had witnessed an unbelievable scene. for a moment, they did not dare to accept it. zachary¡¯s expression was ugly, and no one dared to whisper. they had witnessed zachary¡¯s most embarrassing moment and were worried that their faces would be remembered and they would vent their anger. everyone lowered their heads and pretended not to see or hear anything. it wasn¡¯t until zachary¡¯s furious footsteps completely disappeared in the corridor that everyone dared to relax and breathe heavily. everyone looked up at luo feng¡¯s expressionless face and shouted in their hearts, boss is awesome! if there were more upright people like luo feng in this world, those with evil intentions would have nowhere to hide! Chapter 382 - 382 The New Director Is Up to You! 382 the new director is up to you! many people still hadn¡¯t come around until zachary left the recording location. was he really going to fire the executive director just like that? this was too awesome! however, what about the subsequent programs? would they stop broadcasting after the first episode? or would they use live broadcasting to let the audience find their own highlights? in this world, there were many directors, but good directors were rare. luo feng understood the contestants¡¯ concerns. ¡°everyone, i know what you¡¯re worried about. i promise you that i¡¯ll definitely find a new director to replace director zachary. you just have to do your own thing and show your best side!¡± at first, the contestants were a little uneasy until they received luo feng¡¯s affirmative answer. ¡°okay! we¡¯ll listen to the boss!¡± the contestants responded positively without any doubt. from the looks of it, their boss was really reliable. seeing that the contestants were about to rush up and hug luo feng, ai tingya quickly stood up to keep the order. ¡°alright, alright. this matter ends here. everyone, return to the practice room first. in order for the show to continue, don¡¯t discuss it in front of the camera, okay?¡± ¡°alright, emcee ai!¡± the contestants were very obedient. ah shuang hid behind ai tingya and rubbed her hands uneasily. even though it was not ah shuang¡¯s wish to cause such a huge mess, it was still related to her. she did not know what expression she should use to return to the team. what if she was hated by her companions? ¡°ah shuang, what are you doing? come quickly.¡± a girl stretched out her hand to ah shuang. ¡°we¡¯re already at the second stage. if we don¡¯t come soon, we¡¯ll fall behind.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. let¡¯s go have a drink before we go to the practice room.¡± ¡°that new green citrus tea is super delicious. you must try it!¡± ¡°wow, when you¡¯re unhappy, of course you have to drink something sweet.¡± ¡°you¡¯re not keeping in shape?¡± ¡°it¡¯s alright to indulge once in a while, right, emcee ai?¡± the girls discussed the drinks they liked. the seemingly insignificant matters seemed to be more important than discussing director zachary. ai tingya could tell that they were changing the topic to comfort her. ¡°if you ask me, it must be good me milk tea.¡± ai tingya smiled. ¡°empress ai, you¡¯re so despicable. you didn¡¯t even forget to advertise at such a time,¡± a girl joked. ¡°but it¡¯s indeed delicious.¡± seeing this, ai tingya pushed ah shuang into the group of girls and said with a smile, ¡°i¡¯ll personally make the latest flavor for you later. wait for me first.¡± ¡°really?¡± the girls¡¯ eyes instantly lit up. ¡°let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go! hold a good position!¡± the girls rushed to the dining area. ah shuang was also wrapped in the joyous atmosphere as she ran forward. her two friends held her hand and tried their best to run forward, as if they were not so sad anymore. when most of the people had left, only luo feng and ai tingya were left in the corridor. ai tingya turned around and looked at luo feng. she blinked and said, ¡°boss luo, you were so handsome just now. even i was touched.¡± he was praised by his wife! luo feng was in a good mood. he climbed up the pole. ¡°of course. i can¡¯t even bear to say harsh words to my wife, but he still dares to say them so badly.¡± of course, it was good to be protected. but ai tingya was worried about who would take over as the executive director! ¡°do you have a suitable candidate?¡± ai tingya asked. ¡°perhaps i shouldn¡¯t question you, but this matter¡­ so do you have a candidate?¡± luo feng placed his hands on his hips and gathered his energy in his dantian. his deep voice broke through his throat. ¡°no!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ai tingya looked at luo feng¡¯s high-spirited face expressionlessly. those who didn¡¯t know better would think that he had a bunch of candidates waiting to be chosen. ¡°then what should we do?¡± ai tingya was like a deflated ball. ¡°you promised the contestants just now. do you want to disappoint them?¡± luo feng walked over and hugged ai tingya¡¯s waist. he kissed the corner of his mouth. ¡°i have my own plans. you don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± ai tingya looked into luo feng¡¯s eyes doubtfully. indeed, luo feng had never disappointed her. be it when he was a student or after work, he was always so confident and dazzling, as if there was nothing in the world that could stump him. unknowingly, ai tingya was also infected by luo feng. her uneasy heart found a place to rest. she kissed luo feng back and nodded gently. ¡°i¡¯ll leave it to you. i¡¯m going over first.¡± ¡°go, let the contestants see a new taste.¡± luo feng reluctantly let go of ai tingya¡¯s slender waist. ¡°don¡¯t work too hard. if you have any problems, look for me in time.¡± ¡°yes.¡± ai tingya nodded. ¡­ after resolving the problem of the unfair distribution of camera scenes, luo feng had another problem. however, in his opinion, this was not really troublesome. he returned to the studio. coincidentally, yang tianzhen and benson were also there¡ªpreparing for the training. the two of them admired ji xiang very much and strove to do their best in the early stages of the training. when they saw luo feng return, they happily introduced the preparations to him. it wasn¡¯t until they heard about zachary that the two of them couldn¡¯t laugh anymore. when they heard that luo feng had forcefully expelled zachary, their expressions were very interesting, as if they had seen a ghost. ¡°boss, are you joking? you directly chased the executive director away!¡± benson slammed the table and stood up. ¡°zachary is from shanghai tv station. if he goes out and spouts nonsense to slander us, he really won¡¯t be able to survive in the future!¡± luo feng said calmly, ¡°there¡¯s no need to worry about that. the recording is in my hands. zachary won¡¯t spout nonsense if he still wants to protect his reputation. he knows how to cover up.¡± seeing luo feng¡¯s nonchalance, benson felt like the sky was about to collapse. how could there be a way to chase away the executive director? once the show started broadcasting, any other contestant would have to come up with a special explanation to try their best to appease the audience. if he fired the executive director directly, even if nothing happened, it would be very ugly if word got out. moreover, there were still five days before the second episode was broadcasted. it would be too late to find a director with the ability to match zachary! benson was so anxious that he paced around the room. it was as if there were nails in his butt. after what happened last time, yang tianzhen was calmer in the face of luo feng¡¯s sudden actions. ¡°boss, do you have anyone in mind?¡± yang tianzhen asked. ¡°not yet.¡± luo feng spread out his hands and said, ¡°you¡¯re the only people i have connections in the industry. i still need you to provide me with candidates.¡± ¡°sigh.¡± yang tianzhen held his forehead. honesty is a good thing, but being too honest can be irritating. luo feng honestly pushed the matter to yang tianzhen and benson. how could a director with outstanding skills who had won countless awards and was idle at home appear?! it was not a summoned beast. it came just like that! ¡°boss, you¡¯re joking. it¡¯s really not easy!¡± yang tianzhen sighed. luo feng smiled and said, ¡°i believe you will definitely find a suitable candidate. if there¡¯s really no other way, i¡¯ll ask teacher ji xiang.¡± Chapter 383 - 383 Getting Dirt On The Rivals! 383 getting dirt on the rivals! yang tianzhen, who was originally calm, could no longer remain calm. he and benson were like little bees chasing each other around the office. the two of them flipped through their contact list and almost dug out everyone they had not contacted for a few years. after searching for a long time, they still could not find a suitable candidate. perhaps one or two of them agreed to luo feng¡¯s request, but they were either filming in the desert or doing publicity. they were not free at all! ¡°teacher ji definitely won¡¯t be able to,¡± yang tianzhen said. ¡°even though she has a wide network, she will owe us a huge favor. we might not be able to repay her!¡± luo feng originally wanted to use money to pave the way, but ji xiang did not lack money. as they got older, their desires faded, unless they could persuade him with sufficient reasons like last time. ¡°boss, even though your reason for chasing the director away is legitimate, if it¡¯s seen by people in the industry, you¡¯re making a mountain out of a molehill. you won¡¯t get much recognition.¡± benson said, ¡°it¡¯s a bad idea to ask teacher ji for help. it¡¯s best not to use it.¡± after all, luo feng had just met teacher ji not long ago. facing an old man who had already retired, he asked someone to start training and asked someone to find a capable director. his anxious appearance made him look like he wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value. benson was afraid that ji xiang would go back on her word if she got angry. ¡°what should i do¡­¡± yang tianzhen looked up at the sky and sighed. this time, he was really stumped. the two of them were as anxious as ants. when they looked at luo feng, who was in charge of this matter, they sat and looked at their phones as if nothing had happened. ¡°i know you¡¯re in a hurry, but don¡¯t be anxious,¡± luo feng said seriously. ¡°we¡¯ll cross the bridge when we get there. let¡¯s have a cup of tea and cool down first.¡± ¡°¡­¡± yang tianzhen and benson did not know what expression to make. if he did not understand luo feng¡¯s character, these words of advice sounded like sarcastic remarks. the two of them looked at each other and instantly reached a consensus¡ªif the boss was not in a hurry, what was the use of them being anxious? ¡°alright, let¡¯s have some tea first.¡± yang tianzhen sat down unhurriedly. the sweat that he had been sweating from anxiety had actually dried up in an instant. ¡°benson, you do it too. let¡¯s discuss it slowly, slowly, slowly.¡± ¡°you¡¯re right.¡± benson also sat down. after thinking it through, he was no longer in a hurry. the studio was drinking fragrant tea leisurely, and the recording studio was very lively. ai tingya¡¯s rose black tea was very popular. the contestants squeezed in front of the operating table, wanting to cry out for their chicks to be fed. their eyes were almost glued to ai tingya. in order to maintain their figure and skin, many people had a strict sugar abstinence plan. usually, they would not be sweet at all. if he didn¡¯t eat for a long time, he would really miss it. he would take this opportunity to indulge himself! then, he would set off again! ¡°wow! it¡¯s really delicious!¡± ¡°it smells so good. emcee ai¡¯s culinary skills are superb!¡± many contestants specially chose to be under the camera. firstly, they wanted to advertise good me along the way. secondly, they wanted to showcase their daily lives and let the audience recognize their true selves. at the same time, the netizens who were watching the live broadcast could not help but gulp when they saw the contestants each holding a cup of milk tea. this was because they and milk tea looked so blissful that it made people envious. people kept opening the delivery app and ordering themselves a cup of afternoon tea. the contestants didn¡¯t know that because of their small actions, orders had exploded in milk tea shops everywhere. the staff were so busy that their feet didn¡¯t touch the ground. the delivery man was even more busy than santa claus. just as everyone was enjoying their milk tea, number 49 quietly returned to the contestant¡¯s dormitory. there were also cameras in the contestant¡¯s dormitory. sometimes, some scenes of the dormitory practice would be played, but it would not involve privacy. if the contestant was unwilling, they could manually turn off the cameras. the first thing number 49 did when she opened the door was to turn off the camera. then, she knelt on the ground and crawled under the bed. she searched the back of the bed for a while and struggled to pull down the phone that was taped to the bottom of the bed. then she took off the star accessory she was wearing around her neck and took out a miniature camera. she dialed the number based on her memory, and the other party immediately picked up. ¡°supervisor kou, it¡¯s me, zhu bai!¡± number 49 said. she was the contestant whom yang tianzhen had doubts about previously. she was also a former trainee of morris and had once been expelled by morris. ¡°yes, what did you get?¡± supervisor kou¡¯s voice was low, as if he was lowering his voice. there were other voices in the background. zhu bai guessed that the other party was in a meeting, so she sped up his speech. ¡°half an hour ago, luo feng chased the executive director, zachary, away because zachary wanted to sleep with the female contestant.¡± ¡°what?¡± supervisor kou was extremely excited. right on the heels of that, there was a muffled sound, as if he had fallen off the stool. ¡°supervisor kou, are you alright?¡± kou zhiyuan picked up the phone again. ¡°are you serious?¡± ¡°it¡¯s absolutely true,¡± zhu bai said. ¡°i saw it with my own eyes and even filmed the live video. i¡¯ll send it to you immediately.¡± ¡°alright, alright, alright! send it to me quickly.¡± supervisor kou quickly ended the call, wanting to see the actual content as soon as possible. after hanging up, zhu bai immediately took a photo of luo feng teaching zachary a lesson and sent it over. the scene she chose was very subtle. if one didn¡¯t know the cause and effect, they would think that luo feng was reprimanding the director. zhu bai first sent a short video that lasted a few minutes. after a while, the phone rang again. kou zhiyuan could not suppress his surging emotions. he ordered, ¡°give me the complete video. now!¡± hearing this, zhu bai said calmly, ¡°i promised you to be a spy and find an opportunity to dig up dirt on luo feng for you. i¡¯ve done it now. when will you fulfill the money and resources you promised me?¡± it turned out that kou zhiyuan was the one who told zhu bai to enter idol cultivation. even though the two of them had a conflict before, kou zhiyuan promised zhu bai a lot of benefits. he would give her 100,000 yuan for a piece of dirt on the program. when she left ¡®my idol is here¡¯, she would immediately sign a contract with morris and debut as an actress for the tv series! zhu bai had also hesitated. innovative artist was in the limelight after all. after some thought, she chose to stand on the side of an established entertainment company. it was safer. kou zhiyuan said, ¡°i¡¯ll get someone to transfer the money to your account immediately. the material we dug up this time is more valuable than the last fight. i¡¯ll give you 200,000!¡± ¡°alright!¡± zhu bai was overjoyed. she was the one who instigated the fight previously. kou zhiyuan was angry and didn¡¯t give her a cent because she did not cause any trouble and even allowed luo feng to take the opportunity to increase the show¡¯s popularity. this time, the video was worth it. he immediately changed his expression and made up for it along with the previous time. zhu bai was used to his unpredictable attitude. ¡°the money has arrived. i hope that the resources you promised me can be fulfilled. once i achieve my goal, i¡¯ll leave in the second episode?¡± ¡°no!¡± kou zhiyuan said, ¡°to be safe, you should stay a little longer to also accumulate popularity for yourself.¡± Chapter 384 - 384 Ill Be The Director Since Theres No One Else Suitable 384 i¡¯ll be the director since there¡¯s no one else suitable innovative artist studio. luo feng did not know that a threat was approaching since they were still worried about the new director. yang tianzhen and benson¡¯s calm minds didn¡¯t seem to have improved the situation much. it was very difficult to find a director who could compare to zachary in their social circle. even if there was, they might not want to work on a newbie variety show, let alone one that had already been broadcasted. talented directors had their own artistic pursuits. they could save the show, but not half of it. that would destroy the integrity of the show. hence, after searching for two days in a row, he did not have any leads. yang tianzhen and benson were also completely embarrassed. after all, with luo feng¡¯s buddhist faculty personality, being anxious would only make him feel worse. it would not help matters at all. the two of them had mentally prepared themselves in advance. if there was really no other way, they would look for teacher ji xiang. it didn¡¯t matter if they offended someone! later, the three of them simply collapsed on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in a daze. ¡°boss, do you have any good ideas?¡± benson stared at the little spider that was forming a net in the corner. he felt that he was also trapped on the internet and could not break free. ¡°not for the time being. have you found anyone on your side?¡± luo feng said calmly. his voice was as usual, as if what he had encountered was not a big deal. ¡°we can¡¯t handle this anymore.¡± yang tianzhen was too tired to speak. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, boss. we¡¯ve let you down.¡± he thought that saying this would more or less make luo feng feel a little pressured. however, luo feng was still calm. after a long time, luo feng said, ¡°there will definitely be brave men if the awards are huge. gain more money and continue searching.¡± ¡°sigh¡­¡± yang tianzhen and benson sighed at the same time. this time, it might not be something that could be solved with extra money. ¡°boss, let¡¯s prepare for the worst,¡± yang tianzhen said uncomfortably. the atmosphere in the studio was very heavy. even the people passing by the door quickened their pace, afraid that they would be dragged into the negative emotions. ¡°speaking of which, boss, is there any news from the television station?¡± yang tianzhen was extremely worried. ¡°no, zachary probably didn¡¯t spout nonsense when he went back.¡± luo feng smiled and said, ¡°after all, he was in the wrong. even if the television station knows, they can¡¯t say anything.¡± as long as zachary still cherished his reputation, he would help cover for him. hence, luo feng wasn¡¯t worried at all. ¡°that would be best,¡± benson said as he wilted again. ¡®in what way?¡¯ the best solution was to beg zachary to come back. that way, everyone would be much more relaxed. the two people beside him sighed, but luo feng had other thoughts. he looked at the ceiling. his hand that was in his pocket was rubbing a card. it was a skill card that he had accidentally obtained when he received the gambling king¡¯s business card. it was a skill that he could wish for at will. since he couldn¡¯t find anyone, he might as well do it himself! even though being a director was not luo feng¡¯s original plan, at this point, it was the right thing to do! luo feng closed his eyes and made a wish for the all-purpose skill card. knowledge about being a director surged into luo feng¡¯s mind like seawater! the scenery, camera movement, sound, music, color¡­ all kinds of knowledge that luo feng had never cared about were imprinted in his mind like a branding iron. the moment he opened his eyes, the world in his eyes became different. the space was divided into pieces, and his eyes were like cameras, always capturing the best combination and the best angle. ¡°sigh, what a headache.¡± yang tianzhen scratched his head dispiritedly. seeing this, luo feng seemed to have the urge to empathize with him. ¡°old yang, your current appearance¡­ can especially highlight your thoughts.¡± yang tianzhen looked at luo feng strangely, then picked up his phone to look at himself reflected on the screen. his hair was a mess, his beard was unkempt, and his eyes were bloodshot. what kind of mentality could stand out? was he about to go crazy? ¡°boss, you¡¯re joking again.¡± yang tianzhen could not even fake a smile. he scratched his head in annoyance. he, who had already quit smoking, lit another cigarette. seeing the ashtray piled up into a small mountain of cigarette butts, luo feng said, ¡°you don¡¯t have to worry. i¡¯ve already found a solution.¡± yang tianzhen and benson stood up straight and looked at luo feng. ¡°what solution?¡± luo feng pointed at himself and said, ¡°i¡¯ll be the director.¡± ¡°hm?¡± the two of them made the same confused sound in their throats. after a moment of silence, yang tianzhen and benson burst into laughter. they laughed so hard that they couldn¡¯t stand up straight and kept wiping their tears. their stomachs hurt so much that they protested, but they still couldn¡¯t stop laughing. ¡°hahahaha! this is really the funniest joke i¡¯ve ever heard.¡± yang tianzhen laughed until he rolled on the ground. ¡°boss, you¡¯re so humorous. aiyo! my stomach hurts and i can¡¯t stop. hahaha!¡± ¡°i¡¯m sorry, hahahaha! but it¡¯s too funny, boss! hahahaha.¡± benson curled up into a ball, trying to make himself stop. this is funnier than any absurd movie. the two of them seemed to have placed all the pressure of this period of time on their laughter. they erupted in one breath and could not stop for a long time. luo feng was not angry. he smiled and waited quietly for the two of them to calm down. three minutes later, yang tianzhen laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. he finally stopped. ¡°boss, you might be more suitable to be an actor. you should really see how serious you look. i even thought that you were really going to be a director.¡± benson nodded repeatedly and even gave luo feng a thumbs up. ¡°we almost believed you.¡± luo feng coughed and said very seriously, ¡°i¡¯m serious.¡± ¡°???¡± the two of them tilted their heads, as if they did not understand what luo feng was saying. yang tianzhen frowned and said, ¡°boss, have you ever been in a directing course?¡± luo feng replied, ¡°i studied finance in university. of course, i graduated from the mathematics faculty in the end.¡± benson asked, ¡°then are you interested in directing and have been self-taught for a long time?¡± luo feng shook his head. ¡°no, this is the first time i have the idea of being a director.¡± silence! silence! there was only endless silence in the studio. to yang tianzhen and benson, luo feng¡¯s speech was like a kindergarten kid suddenly saying that he wanted to apply to oxford. he had never taken the corresponding courses, and his interest was only on a whim. then, he said that he would definitely be able to get into oxford. absurd! it was even more ridiculous than the joke just now. the two of them were speechless. their blank words could not express their shock at this moment. however, luo feng had already decided. ¡°i¡¯ve already decided. you don¡¯t have to worry anymore. rest well for a few days and wait to see my virgin work.¡± after saying that, he left with a confident look. ten minutes later, benson looked at the empty door in a daze. ¡°you heard what the boss said, right? i¡¯m not hallucinating, right?¡± ¡°i heard it too.¡± yang tianzhen nodded mechanically. ¡°from the looks of it, he¡¯s serious. no one can persuade him.¡± ¡°what do you think?¡± ¡°i think the show is over.¡± Chapter 385 - 385 Lady Boss, Please Persuade The Boss 385 lady boss, please persuade the boss yang tianzhen and benson stood rooted to the ground, as if they had just had a dream. perhaps luo feng had never been here, nor had he ever said those bold words. everything was just their imagination after being anxious. after calming down, the two of them looked at each other. there was only a heavy sense of responsibility in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°what should we do?¡± benson asked. ¡°can we persuade him?¡± ¡°i can¡¯t persuade him.¡± yang tianzhen took out her exp and said, ¡°as long as the boss decides on something, the others¡¯ opinions will be like the wind. it will pass after a while.¡± he recalled how yang tianzhen had repeatedly emphasized that the live broadcast mode was not advisable when the program was first broadcasted. as luo feng patiently comforted and persuaded her, he did not listen to her. even though the final outcome was good and the facts proved that luo feng was right, after this incident, yang tianzhen understood luo feng¡¯s temper and personality¡ªas long as he made up his mind, even nine cows could not pull him back. ¡°so will it work if we try to persuade him now?¡± benson asked. ¡°or should we quickly find a director to replace the boss?¡± ¡°it¡¯s useless.¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°previously, i found teacher ji xiang, hoping to correct boss¡¯s thoughts. he¡¯s the same. he doesn¡¯t listen to anyone.¡± ¡°doesn¡¯t that mean it¡¯s over¡­¡± benson lay on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in a daze. at this point, there was nothing he could do. other than staring at the ceiling, there didn¡¯t seem to be anything he could do. yang tianzhen rubbed his fists anxiously. after thinking about it, he said, ¡°there¡¯s another way?¡± benson had completely given up. he went through the motions, to do something as a formality, and asked, ¡°what?¡± ¡°lady boss!¡± yang tianzhen took out his phone as if he was taking out a martial arts secret manual with huge side effects. ¡°the boss doesn¡¯t listen to us, but the boss will definitely think twice before speaking to the lady boss.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± benson¡¯s hope was reignited. ¡°the lady boss is beautiful and smart. moreover, she has seen with her own eyes the complexity and irreplaceability of the director¡¯s work. she will definitely understand how ridiculous the boss¡¯s decision is!¡± ¡°yes!¡± yang tianzhen raised his head and shouted, ¡°lady boss will definitely understand our worries!¡± without further ado, he immediately dialed ai tingya¡¯s number. ¡°hello? manager yang?¡± a gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. ai tingya¡¯s voice had its own charm. it was like a spring breeze that smoothed out yang tianzhen and benson¡¯s troubled hearts. however, the next sentence immediately lit up the anxious flames. ai tingya said, ¡°i heard from luo feng that he wants to take on the director¡¯s job. he has to study hard at home for the next two days. do you have any recommended books? i¡¯ll get someone to buy them immediately.¡± ¡°what?¡± yang tianzhen lost control of his voice and said in despair, ¡°lady boss, why are you also messing around with boss?!¡± they originally thought that ai tingya would wake up a little. unexpectedly, ai tingya accepted it faster than anyone else. she even immediately became luo feng¡¯s help and even bought him books to supplement his knowledge. could this insanity be cured? yang tianzhen and benson did not know if they should say that ai tingya¡¯s thought process was astonishing or that she was gifted in accepting things. ¡°is this considered nonsense?¡± ai tingya thought seriously for a moment and finally came to a negative conclusion. ¡°no¡­ lady boss, you¡¯ve worked with zachary before, so you should know that directing is an irreplaceable technical job. boss doesn¡¯t know anything, so he has to direct a variety show immediately. it¡¯s even a program that has a very good rating. do you know how difficult this job is?¡± yang tianzhen rattled on. ai tingya smiled and said, ¡°isn¡¯t it crazy? that¡¯s how luo feng does things. you¡¯ll get used to it.¡± yang tianzhen and benson were shocked to see her acting like she had seen all sorts of things. could some things be done just by thinking about it? the two of them could not help but have similar doubts. yang tianzhen hung up the phone in a daze. benson saw that his soul had drifted away and said anxiously, ¡°hurry up and think of a way to stop boss!¡± ¡°there¡¯s a way.¡± yang tianzhen raised a finger and said seriously, ¡°pray! pray for a miracle to happen so that boss can successfully direct the second episode. let¡¯s quickly find a director to replace him!¡± ¡°huh?¡± benson was stunned. prayer could be considered a solution? after careful consideration, he compromised. there were only three days left. there was no other reliable way other than spiritual support. ¡­ after making his decision, luo feng immediately took action. in order to appear more reliable, luo feng went to the bookstore and swept through all the books related to the director. originally, according to his knowledge reserves, there was no need to buy these books. however, in order to reassure the contestants and employees, luo feng had no choice but to spend this money. then, he stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the recording studio to familiarize himself with the scene. the employees thought that luo feng was here to inspect their work and were not very surprised by his arrival. every time luo feng asked them about the details of their work, everyone was very cooperative. everyone only felt that luo feng was serious and meticulous. they did not think in any other direction. ¡°hey, which director do you think our boss will find? why isn¡¯t there any news?¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry, the boss said we¡¯ll definitely find it.¡± ¡°how do you know?¡± ¡°are you stupid? you can tell just by looking at the boss¡¯s work conditions.¡± when the employees rested, they would gossip about luo feng for the entire day. the topic they were most concerned about was who would replace the director. no one has reliable information at the moment. the employees were not in a hurry. after all, luo feng and ai tingya were calm and composed all day long. they were not nervous at all. the employees below were infested by their condition and still completed their work step by step. ¡°but there¡¯s only one day left. the director who¡¯s taking over hasn¡¯t appeared yet. isn¡¯t he going to familiarize himself with us in advance?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. our program is broadcasted live on the television station. if we don¡¯t cooperate well, the viewing experience will be greatly reduced.¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry. the boss isn¡¯t in a hurry. it¡¯s useless for us to be anxious.¡± ¡°why don¡¯t i go and ask?¡± the caster took the initiative to say, ¡°it¡¯s more reassuring to ask.¡± the others were waiting for someone to take the initiative to suggest it. they all egged the caster on. ¡°sure, sure. we¡¯ll go with you.¡± more than ten employees surrounded the director and walked towards the boss¡¯s office. at this moment, luo feng was watching the first episode. he was familiarizing himself with zachary¡¯s directorial style, so that there would not be much of a difference between the rhythm of the second and first episodes. at the very least, he didn¡¯t want the audience to easily notice it. knock, knock- hearing the knock on the door, luo feng did not even look up. ¡°please come in.¡± the door opened slightly and half of the caster¡¯s head peeked in. the caster¡¯s face was slightly red as she asked softly, ¡°is boss busy?¡± luo feng looked up and said, ¡°i¡¯m not busy. what¡¯s the matter?¡± the caster met luo feng¡¯s gaze and instantly looked away. perhaps handsome men were born with an aura that made people blush. after hesitating for a while, the director said, ¡°everyone is very concerned about when the new director will arrive. they want to familiarize themselves with him in advance so that they can cooperate better.¡± luo feng chuckled and stood up to adjust his suit. ¡°in that case, let¡¯s officially introduce ourselves. i¡¯m the new director who will take over. happy working with you.¡± Chapter 386 - 386 If the Boss Says Its Fine, Its Fine! 386 if the boss says it¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine! luo feng could not remember how many times he had seen similar expressions on different people¡¯s faces. almost everyone¡¯s first reaction was disbelief when they heard that he was going to be the director himself, except for ai tingya. this was the case for yang tianzhen and benson. it was also the case for the employees. the caster¡¯s expression was blank for a few seconds. her big mouth could fit a boiled egg. luo feng smiled and said, ¡°everyone, don¡¯t worry. i¡¯ve been adapting to the scene for the past two days. i believe we¡¯ll cooperate very happily.¡± ¡°ah¡­ yes! boss, you¡¯re right.¡± the caster was incoherent. she lowered her head as if she was looking for something. she rubbed her hands and swallowed her saliva, forgetting what to do next. ¡°is there anything else?¡± luo feng asked. ¡°that¡¯s all! goodbye, boss.¡± the caster faked a smile and quickly closed the door. luo feng heard a commotion at the door for a while. it was only when a familiar voice sounded that he suddenly fell silent. right on the heels of that, ai tingya pushed the door open and entered. ¡°you told them?¡± she turned around and looked at the back of everyone who had run away. ¡°everyone looks very shocked, as if they can¡¯t accept it.¡± ¡°i feel that their ability to accept things is quite good. at least they are not as long-winded as old yang and the others,¡± luo feng said. ¡°i believe that we will definitely cooperate very well!¡± ai tingya sighed helplessly. was that because they did not want to ask? they were all normal employees, so it was useless to ask more. their job was to listen to their boss¡¯s arrangements, but yang tianzhen and the others had to consider the problem from a higher perspective. ¡°i don¡¯t even know how to answer you.¡± ai tingya shook her head. ¡°manager yang asked me about your situation just now. from what he said, he finally found a substitute director.¡± luo feng frowned and thought for a while. ¡°there¡¯s still a day left. if the new director comes to adapt now, i¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be too late. why don¡¯t we hand the third episode to him?¡± ai tingya could not help but worry about yang tianzhen¡¯s situation seeing that he was seriously considering work. previously, he could not find a substitute director no matter what. now that he suddenly pulled another person in, it was difficult not to suspect that there was an element of forcing someone to put a square peg into a round hole. perhaps he was really forced into a corner. however, director luo feng had already made up his mind about the second episode. even if zachary came back and cried and begged the director for the show, luo feng would still give in after he was done. ¡°sigh, manager yang will probably be so worried that he won¡¯t be able to sleep again.¡± ai tingya smiled bitterly. as a boss who cared about his employees, luo feng immediately became vigilant when he heard that yang tianzhen could not sleep. ¡°can¡¯t sleep again? is the pressure of work too great? or are our benefits not in place?¡± luo feng asked, seizing the opportunity to increase the benefits for his employees. he would receive more cashback with such a reasonable increase in the company¡¯s operating cost. even mosquito meat was meat, so luo feng did not mind. ai tingya stared at him for a while, not understanding if luo feng really did not know the reason or if he was really so slow in this aspect. ¡°i think he¡¯s under a lot of pressure,¡± ai tingya said. moreover, 80% of the pressure came from you, the boss. ¡°that won¡¯t do.¡± luo feng put down the book in his hand and stood up. ¡°the body is the capital for revolution. tell old yang to stop working and take a break to adjust.¡± ¡°i¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll scare him to death if you let him take a break now,¡± ai tingya said. ¡°then i¡¯ll go and talk to him personally after i¡¯m done directing the second episode.¡± luo feng smiled and picked up a book related to psychology. ¡°the director has to grasp the heart of the character, so i studied a little about that too.¡± ai tingya¡¯s face darkened. ¡°is it possible that you want to direct a television drama instead of a variety show?¡± ¡°it was from the same batch of books. i had nothing to do and flipped through them,¡± luo feng said with a smile. at this moment, he exuded an ¡°unreliable¡± aura from head to toe. compared to the work at the filming location, he seemed to be more concerned about the mental state of his employees and was not reading very well. for example, a bottom-feeder who did not revise on the eve of the extreme examination and started to trash his comic books, other than having a good mentality, he was not good at anything else. if it were someone else communicating, they would probably have already fallen into despair. however, ai tingya was different. she has trusted luo feng since high school. she had accompanied luo feng through all kinds of storms and witnessed countless critical moments where luo feng turned the tide. ai tingya never doubted luo feng and even if he fell somewhere, ai tingya would help him up and accompany him down. ¡°then i¡¯m looking forward to your debut work being outstanding, director luo.¡± ai tingya smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes curved into crescents. ¡°i won¡¯t disappoint you.¡± luo feng smiled. these words were like a spell. as long as he made a promise to ai tingya, he would definitely not fail! this was his promise to the person he loved! at the same time, the employees who were at the door smiled when they heard this. ¡°oh my god, it¡¯s so sweet. i¡¯m so touched by their conversation that i¡¯m about to cry.¡± the caster sniffed. ¡°boss is too good.¡± ¡°i originally came back to inquire about the situation. why¡­ why did i become envious too?¡± the young man beside her leaned against the door and smiled until his teeth were visible. they had already left, but when they saw ai tingya enter the office, the people who were concerned about the show turned back. unexpectedly, they happened to hear luo feng and ai tingya¡¯s conversation and instantly fell into the sweet atmosphere of a young couple. even unrelated people would be intoxicated when they heard it. everyone in the corner had sweet smiles on their faces, as if they had also received a share of happiness. ¡°hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t forget our goal.¡± some employees reminded him, ¡°is it really feasible for the boss to be the director?¡± ¡°it¡¯s fine as long as the bosses say it¡¯s ok,¡± the caster said. ¡°look, the boss has already promised! he swore like a knight! i believe that since he said so, he definitely won¡¯t disappoint emcee ai.¡± ¡°what kind of logic is this¡­ forget it, let¡¯s leave it at that.¡± the atmosphere was too lovey dovey, and unrelated topics were too depressing. ¡°then let¡¯s go back and prepare.¡± the caster instantly felt motivated. she firmly believed that when she became as outstanding as ai tingya, she would also be able to meet a knight who belonged to her, just like her boss! everyone went from shock to acceptance. it went very smoothly. when they returned to their posts, they were even more serious than usual. the preparations for the second episode were more complete than the first. even the contestants, who did not know what had happened, were excited by the employees¡¯ fervent work and training especially hard. only zhu bai felt that the atmosphere was strange. her intuition told her that things were not simple! hence, after some investigation, zhu bai also found out that luo feng would personally direct the second episode! she told kou zhiyuan about this immediately and got 100,000 yuan as she wished! kou zhiyuan had investigated luo feng before and knew that he did not have any experience or learning related to directing. he immediately caught the parts that could be manipulated and spread rumors online! Chapter 387 - 387 The Popularity Sent by Enemy Companies 387 the popularity sent by enemy companies morris corporation. kou zhiyuan clapped his hands in joy when he heard that luo feng was going to personally direct the second episode! ¡°hahahaha! i thought i had to wait for an opportunity to get rid of this kid. he exposed his flaws so quickly!¡± kou zhiyuan knocked on the table happily. kou zhiyuan¡¯s assistant brought the coffee over and accidentally slapped it away with his cheering hand. kou zhiyuan was surprisingly not angry. he smiled and said, ¡°i¡¯ll pack up immediately. i have other quests for you.¡± the assistant slapped away the coffee on the table and hurriedly asked, ¡°supervisor kou, can we really give luo feng a fatal blow with him being the director?¡± kou zhiyuan explained excitedly, ¡°of course!¡± ¡°the effect of their first episode is very good, right? the audience is looking forward to the second episode even more! a conceited brat like luo feng thinks that he¡¯s outstanding just because he got lucky a few times. he doesn¡¯t have any experience at all, but he actually dares to direct a large-scale variety show. what a joke.¡± ¡°then what should we do?¡± the assistant said obsequiously, ¡°spread the news and dampen their popularity?¡± ¡°no!¡± kou zhiyuan raised his hand to stop him. ¡°not only can¡¯t we attack them, but we also have to send them off! we have to hype them up! then, we will embarrass them in front of the entire country¡¯s audience!¡± other than fans, passers-by¡¯s tolerance was very low. after witnessing the extent of the program¡¯s shoddiness once, they would not have any expectations in the future. then, ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ would be completely ruined! when luo feng became the laughing stock of the entire country, kou zhiyuan would send out the edited voice message and expose that luo feng had squeezed out the director. then, the reputation of the innovative artist in the industry would be ruined! ¡°hmph, hmph, hmph. do you understand what i mean now?¡± kou zhiyuan revealed a sinister smile, as if he had already seen luo feng leave the entertainment industry like a homeless dog. ¡°understood!¡± the assistant was eager to give it a try. ¡°i¡¯ll find someone immediately. i guarantee that all the viewers online will pay attention to the second episode of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯!¡± kou zhiyuan nodded and stopped him. ¡°by the way, contact director zachary again. tell him that as long as he¡¯s willing, we can work together to destroy luo feng.¡± he knew that zachary¡¯s family had some background. everything had been smooth-sailing since he became a director. he must be angry after suffering such a huge grievance when he was middle-aged and was worried that he couldn¡¯t find a place to vent. ¡°please!¡± after receiving an affirmative answer, kou zhiyuan was in a good mood. he fell onto the ceo chair and swiped the mouse. he clicked on the topic related to ¡°idol cultivation¡±. soon, these people who supported the show would become bullets to suppress luo feng! they would help him chase this difficult opponent out of the entertainment industry! ¡­ in the next two days, the topic of ¡°idol cultivation¡± kept trending. the audience¡¯s appetite was even higher. they were extremely looking forward to the new episode being released quickly. the number of people in the contestants¡¯ live-stream reached a spectacular scene of five million people online at the same time. ¡°come on, sisters!¡± ¡°youth does not disappoint hard work. sisters will always walk the path of flowers!¡± ¡°we will always support you. i look forward to the new stage for the ladies.¡± ¡°i can¡¯t wait any longer. can you broadcast it immediately? ten episodes at once!¡± ¡°wow, wow, wow, wow. it¡¯s trending again. i¡¯m asking which other program has such a show!¡± ¡°i¡¯m not in the mood to work. i just want to watch the new episode. is there a preview?¡± ¡°it¡¯s all a live broadcast. how can there be a preview? just wait patiently.¡± the live-stream flew past, all of them cheering for the contestants. the variety show that was broadcasted at the same time as ¡°idol cultivation¡± was much quieter. this popularity seemed to cover all the netizens. anyone who saw it would be envious. there was only one exception. with his sharp sense of smell, yang tianzhen sensed that this popularity was inexplicable. it was not the company itself warming up. there must be something wrong with this abnormality! looking at the explosive popularity of the live-stream, many streamers even began to ride on the popularity and perform the reaction of watching the live-stream themselves. this was a unique phenomenon in the past! ¡°i think there must be something fishy behind this!¡± yang tianzhen sat in the farmyard and told benson his speculation as he picked vegetables. the live broadcast of ¡°idol cultivation¡± was still playing on the tall stool beside her. because he and benson had suffered a blow, they specially ran to the farmyard to treat their souls. however, as long as the internet was around, yang tianzhen¡¯s work would never end. ¡°could it be that the netizens are looking forward to it too much? after all, the popularity of the live-stream is usually not low. otherwise, the boss bought the trending topic himself,¡± benson speculated. ¡°impossible!¡± yang tianzhen shook his head vigorously. ¡°firstly, i was the one who handled the trending topics in the past. boss never cared. moreover, he¡¯s busy with the scene now and doesn¡¯t have the time to care so much!¡± ¡°secondly, no matter how popular ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ is, it has only been broadcasted once. no matter how exciting the first episode is, the current situation is too high for the show!¡± if they could not produce a better program, the audience¡¯s expectations would be disappointed. instead, it would backfire on the popularity of the program! ¡°this is definitely not a good thing!¡± yang tianzhen was certain. ¡°someone must be behind this!¡± benson did not mind. ¡°aren¡¯t you thinking too much? boss asked us to rest, so don¡¯t think too much.¡± after being frightened by luo feng once, benson had already gotten over it. in any case, he just had to do his job. it was useless to worry about other things. after all, it should be a blissful thing to have a boss who did it himself. he should not seek trouble in an easy work environment. benson felt that yang tianzhen had not thought it through and liked to worry too much. he always felt that his boss was young and unreliable. however, the facts proved that luo feng was right several times! ¡°i want to call the boss!¡± yang tianzhen could not suppress his worry. he turned off the live broadcast and was about to ask luo feng for his opinion. seeing this, benson quickly pressed him down and said, ¡°hey, it¡¯s easy to become demented if too many brain cells die. just concentrate on picking the vegetables.¡± he took yang tianzhen¡¯s hand away and grabbed a handful of chives for him. ¡°xiaochun said to make dumplings tonight. it¡¯s getting dark. hurry up.¡± ¡°do you really think there¡¯s no problem? this strange popularity?¡± yang tianzhen was still worried. ¡°who would do such a boring thing? our competitors can¡¯t wait for our show to be ruined. if we¡¯re talking about zachary, who has conflicts, he definitely won¡¯t spend money to produce data for us. no one will benefit from doing this,¡± benson insisted. ¡°so i think you¡¯re thinking too much.¡± who would work hard and not gain anything but to increase the popularity of their opponent? yang tianzhen wondered if he was being too sensitive after hearing what he said. perhaps he was really too tired previously, so everything he saw was suspicious. ¡°sigh.¡± he let out a long sigh. ¡°i really should get some rest.¡± benson nodded in agreement. ¡°turn off your phone tonight and have a good meal of dumplings. enjoy a world without internet trouble.¡± Chapter 388 - 388 Successful Second Episode, New Director Acknowledging A Master 388 successful second episode, new director acknowledging a master yang tianzhen followed his advice and turned off his phone to enjoy life. he thought that since luo feng had arranged for him to rest, he must be hoping that he would be in a better state to welcome new work. since his boss was so concerned about his employees, yang tianzhen did not want to let him down. therefore, the hand that turned off the phone was not straightforward. on luo feng¡¯s side, the rehearsal for the second stage was in full swing. this was also to make the employees feel more at ease and more suitable for luo feng¡¯s work rhythm. on the day of the program¡¯s broadcast. every family¡¯s television changed to shanghai tv station on time. many young people finished their work early and had dinner to ensure that they could concentrate on watching the show. the highly anticipated program began on time. 50 contestants dressed neatly and appeared on stage! the elimination began! the filming atmosphere was very tense. hua you was an ordinary caster. before coming to ¡®idol cultivation¡¯, she had been living in a small variety show. how lousy was that variety show? it was so lousy that hua you, who was a staff member, could not remember the name. ¡°idol cultivation¡± was the first and largest variety show she had participated in. especially when she found out that the first episode of the show was highly praised, hua you pinched herself hard. the real pain told her that everything she saw was reality! if the show could continue to become popular, hua you would have something good to write in the resume! everything would be smoother, be it was finding a job or negotiating a salary. until that crooked director appeared and shattered hua you¡¯s dream. the boss fired the executive director and became the executive director himself. hua you felt that she was dreaming again. moreover, the boss¡¯s command would come from the earpiece from time to time. ¡°all departments, get ready. filming begins. participants, enter the venue!¡± her eyes were locked on the stage as she watched the contestants offer their youthful and invincible team dance. then, the emcee went on stage to go through the process. everything was like a television drama playing in front of hua you¡¯s eyes, and her mind had long drifted to other things. there were seven or eight casters standing beside hua you. like her, they were focused on the display screen, ready to save the situation at any time. even though the employee regulations prohibit people from playing with their phones during work, everyone split their attention between being ready to save the situation and calling someone to save the situation. this was because it was the boss¡¯s first time being a director. it was too shocking. furthermore, after luo feng took office, he had changed drastically in all aspects. originally, they wanted to follow the style of the first episode, but luo feng insisted on changing the background music and filming angles. even the way the competition appeared had changed to determination by drawing lots. the employees were still very nervous even though it had indeed greatly increased the viewing pleasure. ¡°we¡¯ve already rehearsed, but i still can¡¯t calm down.¡± ¡°me too. the first team out. sound technician, stat. rhythm 1, 2¡­¡± the other casters began to control the situation. hua you watched all of this silently. she did not speak, but her nervous palms were covered in sweat. she kept praying that this episode would be successfully recorded. at the same time, some of the audience watching the show were enthusiasts of various variety shows. they acutely sensed that the show¡¯s style was different, as if there was an additional sense of nervousness! ¡°does anyone feel that the competition format has become more attractive?¡± ¡°really? i thought i was the only one who felt this way.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. and the pace is tighter than the first episode.¡± ¡°the director¡¯s skills are not bad. he can even produce such an effect on a live broadcast.¡± as the show progressed, praise began to appear on the internet. no one realized that this was actually the work of a new director. kou zhiyuan didn¡¯t forget to find someone to lead the show on. before the show started, he found someone to crazily create popularity for ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ in order to increase the audience¡¯s expectations. after the broadcast, he immediately found someone to slander and point out the various shortcomings in the show. however, the audience was busy watching the show. as the rhythm was too tight, many viewers were afraid of missing the exciting scenes. they put down their phones and watched very intently. they would only discuss it with everyone during the advertisement. the shortcomings that kou zhiyuan found were more like picking a rock from an egg to find faults. therefore, no one cared and the stone sank into the sea. that night, the viewership ratings of ¡°idol cultivation¡± exceeded three! one had to know that ¡°i want to sing¡±¡®s viewership ratings was 1.6, and it could be evaluated as the television station¡¯s best annual variety show. its popularity had already reached the national level. however, ¡°idol cultivation¡± directly broke three, almost twice as high as the previous national variety show! high viewership ratings meant that there were many people watching. the value of the various advertisements that appeared in the show was also higher. even some of the inlaid advertising products were noticed by the public. the number of searches for related products on amazon had been rising during the broadcast of the show, and the number of transactions had also been rising. not to mention the products with enough cameras. a new banner immediately hung up in the live-stream rooms of the various products¡ªidol cultivation had designated a sponsor. the streamers didn¡¯t need to introduce their products. the various introductions they had memorized were also a little boring. they said, ¡°our products appeared in ¡®idol cultivation¡¯!¡± orders floated down like snowflakes! this shopping scene could be said to be overflowing with life! all the advertisements were also fighting to repost the content related to ¡®idol cultivation¡¯, trying to let the world know about this partnership! soon, the two-hour show ended. the top 40 of the 50 for ¡°idol cultivation¡± ended perfectly. zhu bai and ah shuang both advanced and received more attention! all the staff heaved a sigh of relief, but the shopping war online was not over yet! however, this was already a matter for the future. luo feng sat in the main control room and took a sip of cold tea. ¡°it¡¯s over. it wasn¡¯t easy.¡± being a director was really a hard profession. he had to take care of almost everything. after working hard to direct a show, luo feng felt that half of his brain cells had died. he could not help but suspect if his original intention was really to live off a woman with a clear conscience. why was he working so hard again? ¡°that¡¯s right! i¡¯m doing this so that i can be a freeloader in the future. it¡¯s all for the future,¡± luo feng muttered and immediately took out his phone to call yang tianzhen. as soon as the call connected, an uncontrollable excited cry came from the other end. ¡°boss! your show is too exciting!¡± yang tianzhen shouted as loudly as the amount of doubts he had felt over the past few days. he really did not expect luo feng to be so talented in directing! he was almost at the level of a professional director! from the perspective of people in the industry, they really could not believe that this was a newbie¡¯s work. luo feng was not in the mood to talk about this. he only wanted to be free as soon as possible. ¡°by the way, didn¡¯t you say that you had found a replacement director? can he come to work tomorrow?¡± the excited voices on the other end quietened down. after a moment of silence, yang tianzhen was caught between laughter and tears. ¡°boss, the new director said that your directorship is too good. he is afraid that he isn¡¯t capable enough, so he rejected it¡­¡± Chapter 389 - 389 Kou Zhiyuan And Zacharys Alliance 389 kou zhiyuan and zachary¡¯s alliance luo feng would never have dreamed that while his actions would stabilize the status of the show and establish the tone of the show, at the same time, he would scare the new director away. the effect in the early stages was ridiculously good. if the standard of the later stages were to deteriorate, the audience would be sniped into a sieve! moreover, the entertainment industry was like a wall that leaked wind everywhere. as people walked on the wall, countless pairs of eyes were watching them. if there was a slight mistake, they could dig out all the materials in every corner. if he wasn¡¯t careful, his career might be ruined. not to mention that ¡°idol cultivation¡± had so many sponsors. how could a small-time director afford to offend them? he might as well admit defeat and not accept it. ¡°boss, i just finished watching the new episode. the effect is very good. it¡¯s not a problem for you to continue guiding it!¡± yang tianzhen tried to please him. he kept reflecting on his previous ignorance. it was indeed as benson had said, worrying about something completely unnecessary. he actually doubted his boss¡¯s decision and ability?! this really shouldn¡¯t have happened. he would never do it again! luo feng was unwilling. ¡°no, it¡¯s too tiring after one episode. moreover, i still have two companies to take care of.¡± if his career expanded, his dream of being a freeloader would become further and further away. wouldn¡¯t that go against his original intention?! no! luo feng thought that he had to let everything return to its original path. ¡°but you¡¯re better than a professional director. most likely, no one will dare to take on the job,¡± yang tianzhen said. there¡¯s even a problem if i did it too well?! this was something luo feng had not considered. he suddenly had a brilliant solution in his mind and said, ¡°is this director you found someone who is relatively new in the industry?¡± ¡°boss, how did you know?¡± yang tianzhen was shocked. this luo feng knew how to read fortunes. ¡°actually, he¡¯s already directed a few short films. he¡¯s considered pretty solid. unfortunately, his luck has never been good.¡± it was similar to what luo feng had guessed. only a new director was willing to take on a job halfway. a director with a little fame and a little work would definitely not look down on such a job. luo feng said, ¡°ask him if he¡¯s willing to come over and be an assistant director. i can teach him step by step. the salary will be given according to zachary¡¯s standards.¡± yang tianzhen was tempted by his words. ¡°alright, i¡¯ll ask immediately¡­ actually, he¡¯ll definitely agree without asking!¡± luo feng did not even hear a call. he heard the sound of yang tianzhen typing on the keyboard. he paused for a moment before ringing twice. yang tianzhen immediately replied, ¡°he agreed and asked if he should go over now.¡± ¡°anytime is fine. just bring some daily necessities. there¡¯s everything here.¡± luo feng smiled. just based on the speed of his reply, yang tianzhen did not even give a reason. the other party definitely agreed immediately. luo feng calculated that he would be able to let go of ¡°idol cultivation¡± after the third episode was broadcast. he just had to wait for the final harvest! he relaxed and leaned on the table, humming an unknown tune. luo feng thought that everything was ready, one step closer to his goal of freeloading. ¡­ at the vienna hotel, the waiters were pushing a food cart towards the private room. there was very exquisite food on it. on a plain white porcelain plate, the word ¡°expensive¡± protruded! this was the most expensive table of orders this year. the manager had specially instructed them to treat the guests well, so there were two waiters standing at the door of the private room. when the dishes were delivered to the door, the two waiters pushed each other. they didn¡¯t want to be the first to push the door open and enter. the waitress who delivered the food was puzzled and stopped them. ¡°keep your voice down. don¡¯t let the customers hear you. hurry up and send it in.¡± ¡°the faces of the two guests inside are so ugly. i don¡¯t even dare to go in. i feel like a murder is going to happen. how terrifying. why don¡¯t you go in first?¡± the two waiters pretended to be frightened and refused to be the first to open the door. seeing this, the waitress who delivered the vegetables could not help but laugh in her heart. she thought to herself that in such a peaceful and prosperous world, how could there be such a fierce person? the other two were most likely trying to slack off again. with the intention of setting an example, she knocked lightly on the door and said in a loud voice, ¡°hello, we¡¯re here to serve the dishes.¡± the moment she pushed open the door, the waitress who delivered the food shivered. this private room was too cold, as cold as a freezer. she pretended to be calm and took out all her professionalism. she said gently, ¡°i¡¯ll turn up the temperature for you.¡± the two people sitting at the table stared at each other and ignored her. the waiter who delivered the dishes regretted it. she carefully pushed the food cart to the table and served the dishes gently and quickly, afraid that she would alarm the two masters who looked like they were not to be trifled with. more than 10 dishes were arranged one after another. it seemed to last for a century. the smile on the waitress¡¯ face was about to freeze, but she still maintained her professionalism. ¡°the dishes have been served. please enjoy.¡± ¡°go.¡± kou zhiyuan finally spoke, his words filled with disdain. the waitress trembled in fear and closed the door of the private room as if she was running for his life. this time, she even forgot to open the door lightly. it was obvious that she was frightened. the person sitting opposite kou zhiyuan was zachary, who had been fired. his face was filled with displeasure. he picked up his chopsticks and slammed them on the table, as if this sound was the real manifestation of his unhappiness. then, he picked up half a fish angrily and placed it on the plate without eating. kou zhiyuan suppressed his emotions and said as a host, ¡°director zachary has good taste. you could tell at a glance that the signature dish here is steamed fish. it tastes really good.¡± zachary snorted. ¡°i don¡¯t eat fish. i¡¯m allergic.¡± kou zhiyuan tightened his grip on his chopsticks. he thought to himself, ¡°you don¡¯t want to eat the fish yet you took half of it. you¡¯re purely disgusting!¡± however, he endured it and smiled. ¡°then try the other dishes. this sea cucumber is not bad.¡± hearing him introduce the dishes, zachary threw his chopsticks away and stopped eating. he was not here to freeload. not long ago, kou zhiyuan had taken the initiative to contact him and said that he wanted to join forces to mess with luo feng. although zachary had some ideas, because he was the one at fault, not only could he not cause trouble for luo feng, but he also had to help cover up. kou zhiyuan¡¯s cooperation invitation was like sending charcoal in the snow. zachary had very high expectations of him. he still remembered kou zhiyuan confidently telling him many plans, such as ¡°if you want to destroy it, you have to make it successful first¡±, ¡°you have to fall heavily when you climb high¡±, and ¡°the higher you fly, the more miserable you fall¡±. the second episode of idol cultivation was as successful as how badly they wanted it to fail. he had helped his nemesis in the opposite direction and brought a lot of popularity. the more zachary thought about how smooth things had been for luo feng, the angrier he became. he was so angry that he was unhappy to see kou zhiyuan. kou zhiyuan was also on the verge of collapse. zachary would retort whenever he said something. a good ally couldn¡¯t even say a normal sentence. how could they talk about the follow-up? kou zhiyuan simply fell silent and looked at zachary again. ¡°i know what you¡¯re angry about, director zachary. i¡¯m equally angry.¡± ¡°i¡¯m angry that the goddess of luck is on luo feng¡¯s side every time. if we continue to cause trouble like this, luo feng will only get closer and closer to success!¡± Chapter 390 - 390 Deeper Conspiracy, Waiting! 390 deeper conspiracy, waiting! kou zhiyuan¡¯s words calmed zachary down a lot. it was indeed not the time to be impulsive now. taking down luo feng was a serious thing! zachary knew very well that for the sake of his face and for the sake of continuing to develop in the industry in the future, he couldn¡¯t let luo feng continue to be successful. otherwise, the more resources luo feng controlled, the more he would definitely squeeze his interests. he had to kill the innovative artist company while it was still developing! kou zhiyuan and he had always stood on this point! two people with common goals sat together. they could not indulge in their previous failures. they had to look at the future! after zachary stopped fooling around, he went straight to the point. ¡°what new idea do you have?¡± kou zhiyuan said, ¡°we don¡¯t have many trump cards. one is the recording, and the other is zhu bai. we have to find an opportunity to slander ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ and completely cut off their popularity!¡± in the end, fans were only a small portion. if they wanted to go far, they had to rely on the popularity of passers-by. most importantly, normal viewers would not delve into the authenticity of various entertainment gossip. they would discuss it as long as there was any. therefore, it was very important to take the initiative. it was either black or white. few people would deliberately pursue the truth. ¡°that recording¡­¡± zachary¡¯s expression changed slightly. he knew that kou zhiyuan had obtained the complete recording. he also knew that through editing, kou zhiyuan could swap his and luo feng¡¯s roles and turn luo feng into a bad person while he became a victim. ¡°don¡¯t forget that luo feng has a more complete version in his hands. it¡¯s disadvantageous to me,¡± zachary said unhappily. he felt embarrassed that he had been caught by his opponent and had no choice but to face this fact head-on. ¡°so what if he has it?¡± kou zhiyuan smiled sinisterly. ¡°don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re a veteran director of shanghai tv station. as long as luo feng wants to continue working with the television station, he won¡¯t release the complete recording.¡± kou zhiyuan was very confident about this. this was because zachary represented shanghai tv station. if luo feng played the recording without communicating, it would be a slap to shanghai tv station¡¯s face. no one would do such a stupid thing. zachary propped his chin on his hand and said, ¡°is this the reason why you¡¯re fearless?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right,¡± kou zhiyuan said. ¡°director zachary, i¡¯ll need your cooperation for my subsequent operations.¡± he planned to release the edited recording at the peak of ¡°idol cultivation¡± and pin the blame on luo feng for chasing the director away and snatching the fruits of his labor. this was considered a dirty trick of the show. it would damage the reputation of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯. at that time, as long as zachary came out at the right time to step on luo feng, he could indirectly confirm that the recording was true. then, he would have the initiative and completely beat luo feng to death before he could react! it would be useless even if luo feng clarified later. this was because passersby were not fans and would not delve into the real truth. kou zhiyuan¡¯s first impression would be deeply imprinted in the audience¡¯s hearts. after hearing the entire plan, zachary was a little tempted. ¡°it sounds like it, but are you sure that things will develop according to your expectations?¡± kou zhiyuan smiled and said, ¡°director, you¡¯re also a veteran in the entertainment industry. do you not know what kind of people the audience are? they¡¯re stupid donkeys who will follow you as long as you hang a radish. they¡¯re very easy to manipulate.¡± looking at the other party¡¯s conceited appearance, zachary complained in his heart. how did you manage to become like this? however, he still agreed with kou zhiyuan¡¯s plan and asked, ¡°when is the opportunity you mentioned?¡± a cold and vicious glint flashed across kou zhiyuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°of course it¡¯s the third live broadcast. my people will create a commotion. at that time, luo feng was busy calming down the scene. by the time he remembered the online reviews, it would already be too late!¡± clap, clap, clap¡ª zachary couldn¡¯t help but clap. ¡°as expected of morris¡¯ supervisor kou. exquisite! this meticulous plan will definitely make luo feng unable to continue!¡± kou zhiyuan was in a good mood. he turned the plate on the table. ¡°luo feng has accepted so many advertisements. a little negative influence can make him lose his pants, not to mention the cost of building the venue. he will definitely lose everything!¡± he placed the cold steamed fish in front of zachary and said with a smile, ¡°are you in a better mood? try the specialties here.¡± at the thought that there were countless compensation fees waiting for luo feng to compensate, zachary¡¯s appetite improved and he was no longer allergic to fish. he was also happy to pick up some fish bones. the two of them smiled at each other and raised their glasses to celebrate their upcoming victory in advance. ¡­ ¡°achoo!¡± luo feng sneezed. he sniffed and took the tissue from ai tingya. ¡°you caught a cold?¡± ai tingya touched luo feng¡¯s forehead with concern. ¡°no, it¡¯s just that my nose is a little itchy. perhaps someone is thinking about me.¡± luo feng did not care too much and stared at the document on the computer. he was almost doing three things alone now. first, he had to teach the new director and strive to let him direct the third episode in a few days. then, he had to deal with the work of gather sift takeaway and good me milk tea every day. lastly, it was yang tianzhen¡¯s side. ever since luo feng made the right decision a few times, yang tianzhen would ask luo feng every time he could not make up his mind. however, people had the habit of relying on others. when they knew that someone could make the right decision for them, they did not want to use their brains. luo feng thought that he would correct yang tianzhen¡¯s problem after the third episode was broadcast. ai tingya looked at the dark circles under his eyes and touched them with heartache. ¡°your body can¡¯t take it if you take care of three things at the same time. why don¡¯t you rest for a while?¡± ¡°it¡¯s fine.¡± luo feng shook his head. ¡°i won¡¯t have anything to do soon.¡± he took ai tingya¡¯s hand and buried his face in it. he said in a coquettish tone, ¡°originally, my ambition was to rely on our tingya to freeload. it¡¯s really tough now. you have to compensate me properly after this.¡± ai tingya laughed. ¡°someone missed you so much that you sneezed. why would i need to compensate you?¡± luo feng looked up and knew that ai tingya was pretending to be jealous. he suddenly pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms around ai tingya¡¯s slender waist. ai tingya was shocked. she was about to stand up when the hand on her waist tightened again. ¡°let go of me. it won¡¯t be good if others see us,¡± ai tingya struggled. the more she struggled, the tighter luo feng hugged her. ¡°what¡¯s wrong with that? is it illegal for me to hug my wife? i haven¡¯t hugged you in a long time.¡± luo feng stuck to ai tingya¡¯s body like a piece of sticky candy. he greedily sniffed the fragrance on ai tingya¡¯s body and could not bear to let go. the office door was still open. ai tingya was so embarrassed that she was afraid that someone would pass by the door. seeing that struggling was useless, she held luo feng¡¯s face and gently pecked his lips. she coaxed, ¡°alright, alright, i¡¯m afraid of you. let go of me first.¡± after receiving the fragrant kiss of the beauty, luo feng licked his lips and said in an insatiable manner, ¡°hehe, i¡¯ll reward you two more times.¡± Chapter 391 - 391 Shocking The Mastermind! Luo Feng Is Actually Such a Person?! 391 shocking the mastermind! luo feng is actually such a person?! in a certain school dormitory, louisa crossed the corridor carrying a dozen books. the door of a dormitory was wide open, and the noise made her frown. when she passed by the door, louisa looked at the ten girls squeezed in the narrow dormitory with disdain. she felt that she should prioritize her studies in school. love and chasing after celebrities¡­ they were all unprofessional! looking at her classmate squeezing in front of the small screen with a love-struck face and then looking at the study materials in her arms, louisa immediately felt superior. she felt that a classmate who wasted so much time shouldn¡¯t be able to understand the sense of fulfillment of sitting in the library for a day. in the dormitory that louisa looked down on, tang jin sat at the table, shaking his phone like a wine glass. ¡°hehe! number 32 is my sister xiaochun¡¯s friend. do you want to know what happened when she was a trainee?¡± ¡°i want, i want!¡± ¡°you got first-hand information again? please take a look!¡± tang jin waved his phone like it was a treasure and said, ¡°not only is it firsthand material, but i also went to visit the crew and took a photo with the contestants. do you guys want to see it¡­ eh? louisa, you¡¯re back?¡± everyone in the dormitory noticed louisa standing at the door and turned around at the same time. louisa spurned the pursuit of celebrities and could not stand ceo tang jin bringing back all kinds of celebrity gossip from his part-time company. she took a step back and expressed that she wanted to draw the line. ¡°keep your voices down. don¡¯t disturb no me from reading.¡± louisa raised her chin, almost showing her arrogance on her face. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, we¡¯ll keep our voices down.¡± tang jin smiled apologetically. the two dormitories were adjacent, and louisa was famous for being a study maniac. whether in the dormitory or in the classroom, he could always see her holding a book. even though louisa¡¯s grades weren¡¯t top of the class, she was definitely the hardworking one. everyone admired her for her hard work. but louisa didn¡¯t like it. in fact, she hated it. she had worked so hard and diligently, reading and studying for 14 hours a day, but she results were always not as good as tang jin¡¯s! ¡°hmph, you only know how to gossip about celebrities. be careful not to fail at the end of the semester,¡± louisa mocked. ¡°but my results¡­¡± tang jin stopped mid-sentence. the rest of her words were supplemented by others. tang jin¡¯s roommate said, ¡°but tang jin has the best results in our class. her notes are also the best and most complete.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right.¡± another girl in the same class said, ¡°louisa, you can also look at other people¡¯s learning methods. it¡¯s very tiring to study hard.¡± ¡°what did you say!¡± louisa widened her eyes and said angrily, ¡°i¡¯m going to study?¡± ¡°i¡¯m sorry, that¡¯s not what i meant.¡± the girl in the same class realized that she had said something wrong and lowered her voice. another person could not stand louisa¡¯s shortcomings. ¡°you can¡¯t grasp the main point at all. she means that you can take a look at tang jin¡¯s notebook. that was taught by luo feng. it¡¯s easier to understand than any supplementary information on the market.¡± ¡°no need!¡± louisa lost control of her voice. she was so jealous that she went crazy! why did tang jin meet the legendary mathematics god when she went out to find a part-time job and receive his personal guidance! why was tang jin able to stay in the top few in the faculty while working part-time and getting a high salary? even many seniors were fighting with her to discuss and learn! why were there so many people surrounding her when she came back with some gossip about celebrities?! and when she asked her friend to go to the library to read with her, all she got was a negative answer? why was tang jin so relaxed while she was so tired! louisa was about to explode. the more she looked at tang jin, the more she disliked her! ¡°hmph, it¡¯s just a moment of luck.¡± louisa tightened her grip on the book and said sarcastically, ¡°let¡¯s see how long your good luck can last!¡± with that, she returned to her dormitory. tang jin looked confused, not understanding why louisa was so angry. ¡°did we disturb her too much?¡± ¡°she¡¯s probably lost her mind from reading. ignore her.¡± ¡°keep your voice down.¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry about it. where were we?¡± the girls were immersed in the joy of gossip again. louisa¡¯s expression did not affect their mood at all. the laughter was still there, but it sounded especially ear-piercing to louisa¡¯s ears. her roommate also went out to play. louisa was the only one in the empty dormitory. she grabbed the book on the table and threw it on the ground. the sound did not affect the people in the dormitory next to her. ¡°you¡¯re so noisy. let¡¯s see how long you can be happy.¡± louisa squatted on the ground angrily and picked up the books. as she picked it up, she felt a slight stirring in her heart. was it because she was so unsociable that she had no friends? at the thought of this, she turned on her computer and surfed the internet to read all kinds of celebrity gossip. she thought that she could chat with him in the future. ¡°it¡¯s not that i don¡¯t want to integrate into them. it¡¯s just to learn information.¡± louisa began to search. suddenly! an explosive piece of news entered her line of sight¡ªshocking! the big conspiracy of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯. the boss used his power to chase the director away and seek results!!! there were a few large exclamation marks at the end of the headline, which instantly attracted louisa¡¯s attention. this was an article published by a famous entertainment reporter. the content was to accuse the boss behind ¡®idol cultivation¡¯, luo feng, of bullying others. for the sake of fame and fortune, he forcefully fired the director and even put his name on it! the article was not long. it only explained what had happened. the author directly attached a recording of the conversation at the end, saying that the netizens could distinguish it themselves. curious, louisa clicked on the audio at the end of the article. luo feng¡¯s voice could be heard clearly. it was cold and deep, with a firm and unquestionable tone. sye even had the intention of reprimanding the director who had asked zachary to leave. there was no reason not to explain. he was simply chasing him away, which didn¡¯t sound reasonable. louisa was shocked by the voice in the audio. she did not believe that luo feng, who looked gentle and kind in the lecture video, would say something with such a cold voice. she listened to it a few more times and finally had to admit that luo feng had indeed said these words. louisa admired luo feng very much. she had watched the few lecture videos that luo feng had left on the internet at least 60 times, so she was especially familiar with luo feng¡¯s deep voice. she was a little worried and immediately flipped through the comments below. as expected, the netizens were also in an uproar. however, many people were not as unconvinced as louisa, they were very certain. ¡°i¡¯ve long heard that the boss is not a good person. he actually dares to snatch the results of a veteran director. he¡¯s too arrogant!¡± ¡°it¡¯s not enough that you have money, you still want to be famous. it¡¯s too shameless to snatch the fruits of others¡¯ labor!¡± ¡°i wonder how powerful the backer is. he doesn¡¯t even care about the director from the official television station!¡± ¡°what a waste of such a handsome face! bad thing!¡± Chapter 392 - 392 The Truth Is So Close But No One Is Looking Out For It 392 the truth is so close but no one is looking out for it the matter of luo feng chasing director zachary away quickly spread on the internet. during this period of time, marketing accounts popped up like bamboo shoots after rain. all kinds of true and false news were like firewood, making this public opinion even angrier! entertainment reporter: ¡°i¡¯ve long heard that the boss of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ is a dictator. the employees below can¡¯t talk back at all. he even dare to scheme against an experienced manager.¡± big mouth myna: ¡°no way, no way. don¡¯t tell me there are still people who think that there¡¯s a good entertainment company?¡± gossip genius: ¡°the innovative artist rose too quickly. it¡¯s abnormally fast. don¡¯t you all wonder how luo feng did it?¡± fresh news: ¡°shush, it¡¯s a well-known secret in the industry that luo feng hired someone to poach someone from morris. he even instigated the trainees to slander the original company. it can be seen that his methods are sinister!¡± at such a critical moment, all kinds of revelations flew everywhere. it was dazzling and difficult to tell if they were true or false. all kinds of gossip bloggers who were using internal information jumped out and exposed luo feng from top to bottom. they even dug out the matter of luo feng¡¯s student days. ¡°i heard that luo feng even won an international mathematics award when he was in university. does anyone think it¡¯s possible for a student to solve an eternal problem that even a mathematics expert can¡¯t solve?¡± ¡°my classmate from oxford said that luo feng is the first student to graduate in a year since oxford was established. is he afraid that others wouldn¡¯t be able to tell that he used the back door?¡± ¡°my friend is in the same high school as luo feng. he bravely pursued love in front of the entire school¡¯s teachers and students. it¡¯s too disgusting to fall in love at such a young age in the third high school.¡± ¡°i wonder if this will be deleted. luo feng is the dignified boss. many people saw him arguing with the female emcee at the variety show filming location.¡± he didn¡¯t know where these small details came from, but the rumors were magical. when many netizens who didn¡¯t know the truth saw the two keywords ¡°boss¡± and ¡°female emcee¡± linked together, they automatically imagined a dirty sex deal. very few people would spend time investigating the truth and irresponsibly spread the one-sided information they saw. when louisa saw the news related to the ¡°female emcee¡±, her mind paused for a moment. she admired luo feng and had heard many legends about him. she did not want to believe that luo feng was actually such a despicable person. with the intention of pursuing the truth, louisa did a little search on the internet and figured out the relationship between luo feng and the female emcee¡ªthey were a righteous couple who had registered their marriage! ¡°seriously, what a terrible rumor about a good couple.¡± louisa explained the truth indignantly under the revelations about the ¡°female emcee¡±. unexpectedly, this action seemed to have stepped on someone¡¯s tail. ¡°it¡¯s normal to get married after hooking up.¡± ¡°a certificate doesn¡¯t stop you from fooling around outside. the entertainment industry is dirty.¡± ¡°why did you choose to enter the entertainment industry instead of being a good businessman? isn¡¯t it just to live a life of luxury? there are many good-looking girls in the entertainment industry after all.¡± ¡°why are you in such a hurry to defend the capitalists?¡± in just a few minutes, more than a dozen reply were posted under louisa¡¯s comments. each comment was more unpleasant than the last. some of them even directly attacked louisa herself. louisa¡¯s lungs were about to explode from anger! what kind of people are these! she felt that her eyes were dirty if she took another look. she closed the lid of the computer angrily. after thinking for a while, she felt indignant and turned on the computer to help luo feng turn white. when she saw that the number of reply had increased to more than 20, louisa was terrified. she couldn¡¯t beat so many people with her words. it was as if speaking up for luo feng was a mistake. he felt sorry for the capitalists and was a ghostwriter. louisa could not bear to see her idol being criticized, but she had no choice. she was so angry that she wanted to cry. the laughter in the dormitory next to them had stopped at some point. louisa heard the sound of typing rapidly on the keyboard. tang jin must have seen the news. she picked up the computer and ran to the next room. at this moment, the building was empty. only tang jin was sitting in front of the computer and typing crazily. ¡°why are you alone? where are they?¡± louisa walked to tang jin¡¯s side and saw the rapidly scrolling words on the computer. tang jin was using his alternate account to argue with others. ¡°i have something on, so i asked them to go back first.¡± tang jin did not even turn her head. her fingers were leaving afterimages. ¡°the notes are on the table. go get them.¡± louisa looked at the few notebooks neatly arranged on the table and swallowed. even though she really wanted to take a look, she had something more important to do now! she took a stool, sat beside tang jin, and turned on the computer. this was like a war without smoke, and louisa chose to unite with tang jin! ¡°what are you doing?¡± tang jin was surprised. this was the first time she had been so close to louisa. ¡°someone is spouting nonsense online. i want to restore the truth.¡± louisa looked proud. she did not want to admit that she was here to speak up for her idol. actually, she was also secretly chasing after celebrities, but she was chasing after luo feng, the mathematical celebrity. ¡°hehe, i didn¡¯t expect you to be interested in these things.¡± tang jin was a little surprised again. louisa didn¡¯t seem to be as cold as she seemed. ¡°cut the crap. look, this person is scolding you again.¡± louisa pointed at a new comment. ¡°he said, ¡®xiao chun and xiao jin, the two internet celebrities, must be having an affair with the boss to get such good resources.''¡± louisa¡¯s expression was a little ugly when she read it. how could she clarify such a private matter? she clicked on this person¡¯s homepage and saw that it was quite active. in half an hour, there were seven to eight rumors, and none of them were the same. xiaochun harrumphed. ¡°there¡¯s no need to argue with such a person. just take a screenshot and save it. our company¡¯s legal department will have a good chat with him for defamation.¡± ¡°you can do that?¡± it was louisa¡¯s turn to be surprised. it was normal for internet users to have foul mouths. if they were warned one by one, the workload would be huge. would the company¡¯s legal department really care about these trivial, trivialities? tang jin seemed to have seen through louisa¡¯s thoughts and said in surprise, ¡°our boss had long expected this day and hired someone to deal with this kind of thing.¡± seeing that louisa still did not quite understand, tang jin continued, ¡°the person who clarifies can only be someone who wants to know the truth. this kind of person is purely venting his emotions and attacking him personally. talking to him is purely a waste of time. a lawyer¡¯s letter would serve as a warning!¡± ¡°so that¡¯s how it is!¡± louisa¡¯s confidence was also boosted. ¡°you can even intercept this?¡± ¡°yeah, let¡¯s catch a few typical examples and make an example out of them. after the company makes an announcement, these people won¡¯t dare to say anything,¡± tang jin said. she had half a foot in the entertainment industry and was already prepared. at this moment, someone knocked on the dormitory door. tang jin opened it and saw that it was her classmates who had been gossiping with her just now. some of them were holding their computers, while others were holding their phones. all of them had anger on their faces as they stared at tang jin. Chapter 393 - 393 Public Opinion Fermented, Finding The Traitor Is More Important! 393 public opinion fermented, finding the traitor is more important! public opinion was fermenting online. tang jin¡¯s classmates had basically seen the news online. the students suddenly gathered at the dormitory door with unfriendly expressions. tang jin¡¯s first reaction was that everyone had misunderstood something. before she could say anything, the girls pushed her aside and found empty seats in their respective dormitories. they started typing on the keyboard as if they were at work. ¡°there are so many rumors on the internet today. it¡¯s really too unpleasant. we have to restore the truth!¡± ¡°god luo feng is definitely not as unbearable as they say! they must pay the price for scolding my idol!¡± ¡°i¡¯ve learned crosstalk before. i¡¯ll scold them to death!¡± it turned out that the students, like louisa, were here to help tang jin. ¡°thank you, everyone.¡± tang jin¡¯s heart warmed. ¡°thank you for not listening to the rumors.¡± her roommate, who had just returned from borrowing a computer, smiled and said, ¡°of course. we¡¯re friends. moreover, just from your usual nagging, i know that god luo feng is a good person. he definitely won¡¯t do these things.¡± ¡°indeed, a boss who can guide his employees in doing their homework must be a good boss!¡± the girls laughed. tang jin was a little embarrassed, but she did not continue the chatter for long. after taking two deep breaths, she immediately went back to work. she stood in the middle of the dormitory with a computer in one hand and a pen in the other. she tapped on the screen. ¡°it¡¯s true that the boss chased the director away, but it was because the director broke the fair rules first and wanted to violate the unspoken rules. he also insulted the lady boss and the other contestants that the boss made such a decision.¡± she had heard this gossip from yang tianzhen. when the students heard the truth, they sympathized with luo feng. ¡°that director is too evil!¡± ¡°how can there be such a person? he actually has the cheek to slander god luo feng.¡± ¡°i knew there was something fishy about this. it really isn¡¯t something good.¡± the students were filled with righteous indignation and kept scolding zachary for being shameless. at the same time, as girls, they felt very happy that luo feng could step forward to uphold justice for the contestant. the person they wanted to protect was a good person! this reason was enough to support an all-nighter fight. right on the heels of that, tang jin explained the truth to the ridiculous news on the internet. for example, morris turned out to be a leech company. that was why there were trainees who left collectively. this had been supported by various trainees previously, but unfortunately, there were no memories on the internet. now, these were twisted into thinking that luo feng had found someone to instigate them. tang jin could restore the corresponding truth to any negative news that circulated online. this made the students realize how sinister the person controlling public opinion behind the scenes was. ¡°this is too much. how can the legendary relationship between the almighty and his wife be twisted? how can the human heart be so vicious?¡± her roommate exclaimed. it was hard to describe the disgusting feeling. ¡°there¡¯s a lot of trouble when you¡¯re popular. that¡¯s how the boss understands it.¡± tang jin sighed. ¡°anyway, everyone, i know we¡¯re very weak, but we can¡¯t let the bad guys continue to be arrogant!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right!¡± in the small dormitory, the girls carried out the justice in their hearts and launched a counterattack against unknown enemies online! ¡­ idol cultivation¡¯s recording location. the third episode was broadcasted and the staff were cleaning the stage. after ending the tense television station¡¯s live program, everyone took out their phones as usual and scrolled through the online comments. this was the default relaxed moment for the staff. they worked hard and watched the heated discussions on the internet. the audience always had a sharp eye and could always observe the uniqueness of the show. those were carefully prepared by the employees and contestants. it¡¯s really the happiest moment for behind-the-scenes workers to be praised for their work. but today, the mood on the internet was different. ¡°how could this be?¡± hua you looked at the negative comments on the internet and could not believe that these were actually targeting his program? ¡°idol cultivation¡± had attracted a lot of attention during the planning stage, and there were very few negative reviews. not to mention the superb performance of the previous two episodes, it also gained the audience¡¯s love and recognition. the third episode was also a collaboration between the boss and the new director. the quality was definitely not worse than the previous two episodes. why did they suddenly start scolding them online? the employees gathered their heads together and anxiously flipped through the trending topics on various social media platforms. without exception, they were all negative reviews! the employees were puzzled by all kinds of strange comments. it was as if today was some ¡°luo feng crusade day¡±. even the boss¡¯s student days were criticized. after searching for a long time, they finally found out that the source was a so-called entertainment blog post that exposed shady dealings. it was actually complaining for zachary?! everyone had worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry for many years, so they immediately understood that someone was targeting their show and using the news of chasing zachary away to attract attention. as for those scattered so-called expos¨¦s, most of them were paid ghostwriters. ¡°picking the third episode to release the news, you really know how to pick the time,¡± hua you said in disdain. this series of combination punches was obviously done by people in the industry. they were targeted! ¡°go and tell the boss immediately. immediately clarify and stop the losses in time. find out who the mastermind is,¡± someone suggested. just as the employees got up, the broadcast suddenly sounded. ¡°it¡¯s an emergency. all employees and contestants, please gather in the resting area.¡± luo feng¡¯s voice sounded from the broadcast. ¡°every employee and contestant must be present. repeat, all employees and contestants, please gather in the resting area immediately!¡± luo feng¡¯s voice was calm on the radio, and no anxiety could be heard. everyone walked out from various places and walked towards the resting area. luo feng was already waiting there. beside him stood ai tingya, the new director, wu xingzhou, and yang tianzhen. everyone¡¯s expression was solemn. it was obvious that they already knew the rumors on the internet. ¡°count and admit defeat.¡± luo feng, who was sitting, stood up and swept his sharp gaze across the faces of the people present. the employees could go online and knew what had happened. the contestants were at a loss. however, the tense atmosphere still made everyone breathe carefully. after the number of people was counted, luo feng said, ¡°today, there was suddenly a rumor on the internet that the program was shady. i believe some of you should have seen it.¡± the employees nodded repeatedly, and the contestants looked at them with wide eyes. ai tingya explained, ¡°someone exposed on the internet that luo feng chased zachary away to gain fame and snatch the fruits of zachary¡¯s labor.¡± ¡°huh?¡± the contestants sighed at the same time. they had witnessed the entire process and did not understand why someone would tell such an obvious lie. ¡°um¡­ will it have a big impact?¡± ah shuang raised her hand and asked weakly. this matter had something to do with her. she was afraid that it would cause trouble for the show. ai tingya said bluntly, ¡°it has a huge impact. many inexplicable scandals have appeared to slander luo feng and the company.¡± ¡°i¡¯m sorry.¡± ah shuang lowered her head and said sadly. luo feng said, ¡°this isn¡¯t your fault. there¡¯s no need for you to apologize. i asked everyone to gather here firstly to explain this matter, and secondly, to find the traitor!¡± Chapter 394 - 394 Scheming, One Person Arranged The Entire Drama! 394 scheming, one person arranged the entire drama! traitor?! this word was simply shocking! they were just a variety show. how could there be a traitor?! ¡°boss, could there be a mistake?¡± hua you would rather believe that this was just a misunderstanding. everyone knew luo feng¡¯s original intention for doing such a variety show after all. it was to give the trainees who had been abandoned by morris a stage. ever since they participated in this project, their salaries and treatment were very good. the employees got along very well and worked very smoothly with the contestants. not to mention that the boss and lady boss were approachable. 99% of the employees present agreed that this was the most enjoyable project they had ever had. whether it was the contestants or employees, they all cherished this stage. how could there be a traitor? where was the traitor? the employees and contestants looked at each other, thinking that they had misheard. luo feng turned on his phone and played a video. on the screen, a few contestants forced zhu bai into a corner and reached out to pull her clothes. their actions were forceful and rough, causing zhu bai to slide to the ground. her face was blocked, but from her flustered waving hands, it could be seen that she was very flustered. a few girls looked down at zhu bai with their hands on their hips. one of the girls who had been photographed was still smiling. in the silent video, she looked a little sinister. in the end, there was a stalemate for a while. zhu bai suddenly pushed a girl away and ran out of the surveillance camera. the few of them chased after her. it was a video that looked like bad news. luo feng asked, ¡°what did you see?¡± the employees said nothing, they could only see a few people. because everyone got along very well, they had never heard of anyone bullying anyone. everyone¡¯s first reaction was that the girls were just fooling around. at this moment, a girl in the video stood up and said, ¡°boss, zhu bai said that her shoulder blades hurt, so we said that we would help her take a look. however, she was too embarrassed to take off her clothes and ran away, so we surrounded her in a corner.¡± the person involved, zhu bai, also took the initiative to stand up. ¡°we were just joking. after running out of the surveillance range, they sent me to the infirmary. the other surveillance cameras should be able to see it.¡± she spoke calmly and her expression was natural, as if the misunderstanding would be quickly resolved. luo feng said, ¡°but a paparazzo sent me this video and asked me to pay. otherwise, i¡¯ll walk out with the title ¡®bullying¡¯ in 20 minutes.¡± ¡°what?¡± everyone¡¯s expression changed. this was no joke. even for them, it was easy to misunderstand just by watching this video, let alone being released by the paparazzi with extremely guiding words. it was easy for netizens to assume that this was a shady deal! especially in such a murder case. it was like adding fuel to the fire. ¡°this is daylight robbery, extortion!¡± hua you said angrily, ¡°we can totally call the police!¡± luo feng said, ¡°that paparazzo is also a wily old fox. he said that he¡¯s not afraid of calling the police. anyway, he¡¯ll be caught. he¡¯ll definitely release the video before he¡¯s caught.¡± it was not that he could not bear to part with the money, but luo feng did not want to be led by the nose. moreover, this paparazzo was too professional. he even wanted to perish together just to release the news. an employee raised his hand and said, ¡°by the way, how did this video get out? are you suspecting that an insider stole the video for the paparazzi?¡± there were two types of surveillance cameras at the filming location. one was the daily surveillance of the contestants. it was mainly distributed in the practice room, the canteen, and behind the stage. there were also installations in the contestants¡¯ dormitory, but these were opened and closed at a fixed time. the contestants could choose to close them if they were worried about privacy. the other type was security surveillance. they were distributed everywhere and worked 24 hours a day. the video content could only be seen in the surveillance room. the surveillance camera that captured the ¡°bullying video¡± was from a security camera. if one did not specially search for it, they would not be able to find it. this way, the first suspect would naturally become a security guard. this was because they were the only ones in charge of guarding the surveillance cameras. they were also employees who could use their phones, so it was very convenient to transmit them. everyone looked at the security guards in gray uniforms. ¡°it¡¯s not them.¡± luo feng cut off everyone¡¯s doubts. ¡°someone else released the video.¡± everyone¡¯s faces were filled with question marks, so it was not appropriate to casually collect them. luo feng continued, ¡°this time, someone set up an inescapable net and waited for us to get in. i¡¯m guessing that regardless of whether we pay or call the police, the paparazzi will release a video.¡± he had already seen the news and negative comments online. they were overwhelming as if they had discussed it beforehand. even though he had also seen reasonable netizens helping to clarify during this period, it was still a drop in the bucket. the negative comments were still the dominant. luo feng¡¯s eyes locked onto a certain spot. ¡°i don¡¯t want to expose you in front of so many people, but there¡¯s also a surveillance camera at the entrance of the surveillance room. it has already captured your face. come to my office after the meeting. can you do that?¡± zhu bai met luo feng¡¯s gaze in the crowd. she had been exposed so easily. zhu bai was not afraid. she puffed out her chest and walked out. ¡°i can¡¯t do it.¡± everyone widened their eyes and looked at the person who had suddenly admitted it. they could not believe that zhu bai would do such a thing. she was very good at the stage and had always been ranked at the front after all. if she continued to maintain her position, there was a high chance that she would debut. why didn¡¯t she cherish her feathers? the scene instantly fell silent. zhu bai could clearly hear herself gasping. she said, ¡°i¡¯m applying to exit the competition now. i¡¯m no longer your contestant, and i don¡¯t have to listen to your arrangements. i¡¯m going back now!¡± she looked so self-righteous that anyone who saw her would be angry. the faces of the girls who were also captured in the video went blank. a bad feeling lingered in their minds. it was zhu bai who took the initiative to run to the surveillance camera, and it was also zhu bai who hid in the corner. the person who released the video was also zhu bai¡­ then, weren¡¯t they being used?! they had acted as a bully under zhu bai¡¯s design?! moreover, the video was about to be released! wouldn¡¯t her futures be ruined? ¡°why are you doing this!¡± a girl rushed out and pounced on zhu bai, grabbing her collar. ¡°why are you harming us! aren¡¯t we friends?!¡± zhu bai was grabbed and shaken around like a cloth bag. she couldn¡¯t reply so that she won¡¯t be caught red-handed. who knew if luo feng would deal with her like how he dealt with zachary and record evidence of her evil deeds? seeing that she did not speak, the girls who had been framed cried even harder. all of them pounced on her and complained. they clearly had good intentions. why did they have to act like they are bullies?! ¡°why! why?!¡± the girls cried out in shock and despair, and their shaking became more and more intense. when the others saw that the situation was bad, they hurriedly pulled them away. zhu bai¡¯s clothes were wrinkled, and she only patted them briefly before raising her head to look at luo feng provocatively. ¡°tingya, send them to the infirmary first.¡± luo feng remained calm. ¡°as for you, follow me to the office for a chat.¡± ¡°hmph, who¡¯s afraid of who?¡± Chapter 395 - 395 Can You Bear Luo Fengs Anger? 395 can you bear luo feng¡¯s anger? zhu bai did not feel that she was at fault. the entertainment industry was a competitive industry. it was even crueler than the law of the jungle! between the dozens of people competing for the stage and company¡¯s resources, zhu bai chose the latter because kou zhiyuan had promised her. people died for money, and birds died for food. she might hurt some people by infiltrating ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ to dig up dirt for her dream, but that was not important. if one wanted to stand firm, one had to be ruthless. on the way to the office with luo feng, zhu bai thought a lot, but she still did not regret it. luo feng especially paid attention to zhu bai¡¯s hand shape and skin color. it was exactly the same as the hand that stretched out during the fight. hence, the program had fallen into a trap from the beginning. ¡°have a seat.¡± luo feng pushed open the office door and picked up the teapot to get water. zhu bai stood at the door and refused to move forward. yang tianzhen and wu xingzhou, who were following behind her, walked past her and entered the office to sit down. there were three men in the office, and a girl was at a disadvantage no matter what. zhu bai stared at the three of them warily, his hand tightly gripping the door frame, guarding against all their actions. luo feng brewed the tea and sat down calmly. only then did he notice zhu bai, who was rooted at the door. ¡°do you like to stand there?¡± zhu bai rolled her eyes and thought to herself, ¡®who would like it!¡¯ ¡°continue standing if you like it.¡± luo feng continued without waiting for her answer, ¡°what did kou zhiyuan promise you to make you scheme against us like this?¡± zhu bai was a little surprised. how did luo feng guess so quickly that kou zhiyuan sent her? she had never exposed who her backer was. yang tianzhen snorted and said, ¡°what else could it be? it¡¯s either money or resources. he must be saying that she¡¯ll be a hero to morris in the future. the company has a lot of good resources for her. dream on.¡± he had worked with kou zhiyuan for many years, so he knew what kou zhiyuan was up to. zhu bai pursed her lips tightly and did not speak, but her expression had already betrayed her¡ªyang tianzhen was right. ¡°instead of dwelling on my problem, why don¡¯t you quickly go to public relations?¡± zhu bai changed the topic. ¡°you also said that no matter what you do, the paparazzi will release a video.¡± this was the company that was going to collapse. the fans felt sorry for the contestants they supported and would choose to cut ties with the company. however, if the ¡°bullying¡± video was released, all the contestants would not be innocent. ¡°idol cultivation¡± would be over! luo feng did not seem to be in a hurry. he was still in the mood to pour tea for yang tianzhen and wu xingzhou. ¡°this dirty water will fall on our heads no matter what, so i want to find a breakthrough from you.¡± luo feng did not hide anything. ¡°i¡¯ll give you a chance now. stand on our side. i¡¯ll give you whatever morris promised.¡± ¡°hmph.¡± zhu bai sneered in disdain. kou zhiyuan had promised her film and television resources! morris was a veteran entertainment company after all, and there were many more things that he could promise than a new company like innovative artist! that was zhu bai¡¯s bright future. it was not something that a little money could measure. she did not say a word and did not leave any loopholes. when yang tianzhen saw this, he made a bold guess. ¡°they probably said that they would feed her resources and make her famous. people like them who walk the path of idols will eventually switch to film and television as actors.¡± they could either become an actor or move behind the scenes. it was not difficult to guess these two paths. luo feng smiled, crossed his legs, and said, ¡°zhu bai, how can you be sure that kou zhiyuan will keep his promise? moreover, do you think i¡¯ll let you go smoothly if what you¡¯ve done is exposed?¡± yang tianzhen revealed a very sinister smile in order to match luo feng¡¯s context. luo feng was rich, and yang tianzhen had connections. it was not easy to promote people according to the rules, but it was much more convenient to do it secretly. no one would be perfect forever. if there were flaws, there was room for manipulation. in the past, yang tianzhen was disdainful of playing dirty tricks. however, he did not want to be polite anymore now that such a situation had happened. ¡°you used to be morris¡¯ trainee, so you should know what i¡¯m capable of, right?¡± yang tianzhen clenched his fists. ¡°a little bug like you will die with a pinch. what right do you have to be sure that kou zhiyuan will protect you at all costs, regardless of the cost?¡± these few words accurately hit zhu bai¡¯s soft spot. she was also slightly worried about these things, but she had already gotten in too deep and could not turn back. zhu bai¡¯s tight defense instantly broke now that she was provoked by an outsider. finally, she said, ¡°of course i¡¯m confident! what do you know?¡± luo feng nestled on the comfortable leather sofa and looked at the ceiling. ¡°let me guess. if you want to manipulate someone, it¡¯s either profit or weakness. do you think that you have something on kou zhiyuan that he has no choice but to fulfill his promise?¡± zhu bai¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and her expression froze. luo feng knew that he had guessed correctly. he gave yang tianzhen a look and asked him to continue acting. without warning, yang tianzhen clutched his stomach and laughed as if he had heard a huge joke. ¡°hahahaha! you¡¯re too funny!¡± yang tianzhen mocked her mercilessly. ¡°i remember that you were fired by morris because you had something on the higher-ups. you can¡¯t possibly think that you can threaten kou zhiyuan, do you?¡± zhu bai opened her mouth to retort, but yang tianzhen interrupted her. ¡°i thought you were a smart person. you actually jumped into the same trap twice. what right do you think you have to shake kou zhiyuan¡¯s position?¡± so what if she had something on him? kou zhiyuan had a hundred ways to get rid of all kinds of evidence. when he achieved his goal, he would find a random reason to hide zhu bai. anyway, the resources were in kou zhiyuan¡¯s hands, and he would always be the one in control. zhu bai was too naive and thought too highly of herself. ¡°we¡¯ll say the same thing. even if kou zhiyuan fulfills his promise, can you withstand our revenge?¡± yang tianzhen was expressionless, but his eyes were full of threatening anger. he swore that if zhu bai did not cooperate, he would definitely use all his connections to destroy her! luo feng chuckled. ¡°can you afford it?¡± zhu bai¡¯s lips were pale, and her pupils were trembling. ¡°you guys are terrorizing a girl like me. what kind of ability is that? go find kou zhiyuan if you dare!¡± ¡°that¡¯s why you didn¡¯t deny that kou zhiyuan sent you here.¡± luo feng smiled. ¡°of course, i¡¯ll look for them one by one.¡± clang! yang tianzhen slammed the table, scaring zhu bai so much that she took a step back, her body trembling uncontrollably. ¡°stop emphasizing your gender with me. i¡¯ve seen many women who are more scheming than you, but this is the first one who¡¯s so shameless.¡± yang tianzhen stood up and pointed at zhu bai. ¡°there are only good and bad people here. when you do bad things, you should think of the consequences. if you can¡¯t bear the consequences, clamp your tail tightly!¡± luo feng patted yang tianzhen and calmed him down. he asked again in a harmonious manner, ¡°after saying so much, are you willing to confess?¡± ¡°i¡­ i¡­¡± zhu bai took two steps back until her back was against the wall. her psychological defense completely collapsed. after struggling for a moment, fear took over. ¡°i¡­ i¡¯ll say it. don¡¯t take revenge on me.¡± Chapter 396 - Chapter 396 Bring Out The Secret Weapon, High-Tech Talent! chapter 396 bring out the secret weapon, high-tech talent! 396 bring out the secret weapon, high-tech talent! zhu bai had thought it through. she did not have any background. even with kou zhiyuan¡¯s help, she could not afford to offend luo feng. she was blinded by greed and was used as a tool! ¡°what¡­ what do you want to know?¡± zhu bai swallowed twice before she could say a complete sentence. luo feng took out his phone and turned on the recording mode. he placed it on the table openly and waved at zhu bai. ¡°come and sit. you¡¯ll reply to whatever i ask.¡± zhu bai looked at her phone and reluctantly stood over. she shrugged and said, ¡°i¡­ i advise you to deal with the paparazzi first. otherwise, if the video is released, it¡¯ll be too late for you to salvage it.¡± luo feng looked up at her as if he was asking, ¡°are you teaching me how to do things?¡± zhu bai lowered her head as many excuses flashed through her mind. she felt that she could cooperate, but she could not be recorded. this was because luo feng would have something on her. then, she would be controlled by luo feng in the future. besides, there were no real secrets in the entertainment industry. she would be in trouble if kou zhiyuan got his hands on it someday. after thinking about it, zhu bai felt that the best solution now was to stall for time. luo feng would not have the energy to deal with her as long as the paparazzi released the video in another 20 minutes. thinking of this, the corners of zhu bai¡¯s mouth twitched unconsciously. she was too smart. as long as she could hold on for a little longer and leave this place successfully, she would be morris¡¯ artiste! she would be on the same boat as kou zhiyuan. all the troubles would be resolved by the company. she just had to receive the resources she deserved. zhu bai prayed silently in her heart that kou zhiyuan could make luo feng move quickly in one go while still dealing with luo feng and yang tianzhen on the surface. she looked at his phone, which was recording, but she was actually staring at the time. she pretended to be shy and said, ¡°i can tell you the truth, but can you promise me not to record it?¡± zhu bai had exquisite stage makeup on her face. her big blinking eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, and her mouth seemed to be pouting. she looked like a harmless little rabbit. ¡°am i seeing things? she¡¯s flirting with the boss.¡± wu xingzhou sat at the side and watched, his voice filled with disbelief. what a terrifying woman. she could still put herself in a weaker position in a weak situation. was she trying to make her boss let down his guard? ¡°don¡¯t worry, boss has seen all kinds of flirtatious sluts. this is too child¡¯s play, easy.¡± yang tianzhen pretended to know luo feng very well. he was not sure about anything else, but how could luo feng be bewitched by zhu bai with ai tingya¡¯s looks? he was used to seeing turbulent waves, so would he praise the small pool at the door? don¡¯t be ridiculous! luo feng was speechless. ¡°are your eyes cramping? speak normally.¡± his words seemed to have pierced zhu bai¡¯s lungs, causing her face to turn red. she stood at attention and said, ¡°can we not re-record this?¡± after recording, the voice could be specially processed. even if the video was pixelated, familiar people would be able to recognize it at a glance. yang tianzhen retorted, ¡°are you the one who sets the rules, or are we? we¡¯ll record whatever we want!¡± zhu bai looked at the time again. there were still 15 minutes left! she made up her mind and shouted, ¡°if you insist on recording it, then i won¡¯t be able to survive. if kou zhiyuan finds out, he will definitely kill me! since you all know that he is the mastermind, go and settle the score with him. bullying a girl like me is nothing!¡± luo feng could tell that zhu bai was good at using her status as a disadvantaged person. the three men didn¡¯t say anything. they just watched zhu bai go crazy. they watched as she shook her hair wildly and shouted. her sharp voice was like nails scratching glass. after a while, zhu bai was tired and looked at the time again. very good, only 10 minutes left! her eyes darted around as she thought of other excuses to stall for time. at this moment, luo feng grabbed his phone and blocked the time that was jumping on it. he sneered and said, ¡°your trick is really not brilliant enough. do you think that everything will be fine once the ¡®bullying¡¯ video is released? naive.¡± zhu bai¡¯s expression froze as she took a step back. she thought that her acting skills were passable, so how could she be seen through at a glance? luo feng poured out the cold tea in his cup and added a new one. he gently blew away the dense steam and smiled. ¡°since you want to wait, let¡¯s wait for 10 more minutes.¡± ¡°what¡­ what do you mean?¡± zhu bai was suspicious and kept blinking guiltily. luo feng did not answer, and yang tianzhen ignored her. wu xingzhou was even more excited to watch the show. the three of them picked up their teacups and slowly tasted them, just like every leisurely afternoon. just as luo feng had said, he really waited for 10 minutes before putting down the teacup reluctantly and looking up at zhu bai. at this moment, zhu bai¡¯s legs were numb and her heels were sore. she could not sit or walk, having stood for more than 20 minutes as a punishment. buzz¡ª the phone on the table vibrated twice. luo feng picked it up and opened the message to look at zhu bai. it was an ultimatum from the paparazzi, or rather, a preview. [boss luo, don¡¯t blame me for being heartless!] the paparazzi had already posted the video online. zhu bai¡¯s first reaction was joy, but right on the heels of that, she saw luo feng smiling as if he didn¡¯t care at all. ¡°what¡¯s so funny?¡± zhu bai said. ¡°you have your phone with you, right?¡± luo feng said. ¡°take it out and go online.¡± zhu bai could not be bothered to hide anymore. she took out her cell phone from her pocket and found the social media account of the paparazzi she had contacted before, ignoring the message from kou zhiyuan. ¡°the video was damaged?¡± zhu bai exclaimed. the video that was released a minute ago was already damaged? there were also keywords such as ¡°bullying¡± and ¡°idol cultivation¡± on the title of the video. many onlookers were waiting to see the new news, but they didn¡¯t expect it to be empty. the comments below were filled with criticism, accusing the paparazzi of taking advantage of the popularity and telling them not to insult the paparazzi profession. ¡°you¡­ you, what did you do?¡± zhu bai felt dizzy. she had contacted this paparazzo privately. at that time, they had agreed to split the money equally, so she was sure that the paparazzo would definitely not change his mind. luo feng must have played a trick! luo feng did not want to appear too arrogant, but his strength did not allow him to. ¡°i don¡¯t know if you understand me, but my gather sift takeaway apps are all developed by my university classmates. do you understand what i mean?¡± yang tianzhen was afraid that zhu bai¡¯s poor iq would not be able to understand, so he smiled and said, ¡°our boss has a team that specializes in the internet. when they were still students, they could develop take-out apps on their own. they¡¯re very skilled. it¡¯s too easy for them to delete a video from someone else¡¯s phone.¡± ¡°shh.¡± luo feng raised his index finger. ¡°keep a low profile.¡± ¡°what¡¯s there to be low profile about?¡± wu xingzhou slammed the table and stood up, ¡°this secret weapon can¡¯t be low profile at all!¡± Chapter 397 - Chapter 397 Waiting For The Best Moment To Catch All of Them! chapter 397 waiting for the best moment to catch all of them! 397 waiting for the best moment to catch all of them! men, who didn¡¯t have a dream of being a hacker when they were young? luo feng did not elaborate, but his confident smile already said everything. the fabricated ¡®bullying¡¯ video was nothing to be afraid of. it had long been dealt with. at this moment, xie yan, who was in the office building of gathering sift, sneezed violently. luo feng stared at zhu bai. ¡°your hopes have been dashed. you brought your phone into the surveillance room without permission and leaked the internal information of this project. if you violate the contract regulations, i can sue you immediately and ask you to compensate for the damages caused by the breach of contract and the negative effects!¡± fortunately, he had been careful at that time and wrote 500,000 yuan as the penalty for breach of contract. 500,000 yuan was definitely not a small sum for small families. yang tianzhen gloated. ¡°hmph, the information you sold in this short period of time probably didn¡¯t earn you 500,000 yuan, right? was it worth it?¡± zhu bai felt as if she had been struck by lightning. she looked at luo feng¡¯s handsome face as if she was looking at a cunning fox. originally, she thought that kou zhiyuan¡¯s plan was thorough enough. if it went smoothly, it could be said that he would surround and kill luo feng in all aspects. it would definitely cause luo feng a lot of losses! however, luo feng was not inferior to kou zhiyuan at all. it could even be said that he had the initiative. ¡°i admit it.¡± zhu bai sat on the ground weakly. ¡°you can ask me if you want to. you can record it if you want.¡± it was useless to struggle. her life was in luo feng¡¯s hands now. luo feng picked up his phone again and turned on the recording function. ¡°now, tell us the entire process of your collusion with kou zhiyuan.¡± zhu bai looked at the camera in despair and slowly explained everything. it turned out that after she was fired by morris, she still refused to give up and wanted to become a celebrity and earn a lot of money. however, the entertainment industry did not lack capable and beautiful women. furthermore, zhu bai did not have any power or backing. she had no choice but to be a small player, act as a utility man, and so on. during this period, she had also sold her body a few times, but she had always been deceived by the other party¡¯s sweet words. therefore, when kou zhiyuan found her again, zhu bai swore to seize this opportunity! kou zhiyuan needed a capable and good-looking undercover agent because that was the only way someone could be selected as a contestant. however, he could not bear to stay in the company¡¯s debut reserve army, so he went to look for zhu bai. ¡°he asked me to dig up dirty secrets or create some dirt on him so that he can create public opinion to destroy you.¡± zhu bai stared at the ground with lifeless eyes and said lightly, ¡°but your show is ridiculously clean, open, and transparent. i¡¯m really angry!¡± if it was in the past, zhu bai would definitely be glad that she had participated in a fair program. this way, she would have a chance to debut. unfortunately, she was born at the wrong time. when she needed dirt, there was none. hence, zhu bai looked for an opportunity to create it! after searching for a long time, she created an insignificant fight and quickly calmed it down. the most difficult thing for her to accept was that her efforts had increased the popularity of the show. zhu bai was so tired that she almost vomited blood. just as she was about to give up, zachary suddenly jumped out. even though zachary had been wrong from beginning to end, and luo feng¡¯s way of handling things was very fair and objective, it didn¡¯t matter. as long as there was a recording, it could be edited and misled the public. ¡°kou zhiyuan said that he¡¯ll join forces with zachary to demand an explanation from you.¡± zhu bai shared the rest of the plan. luo feng nodded. ¡°as expected, we can still wait.¡± yang tianzhen instantly understood what luo feng meant. ¡°boss, so you haven¡¯t been in a hurry to make an announcement because you¡¯re waiting for zachary to show his tail.¡± the so-called 24 hours of gold was the best time for public relations. the earlier the rumors were refuted, the less losses they would suffer. however, there were also more opportunities for pretense. however, luo feng insisted on doing the opposite. when rumors were flying all over the internet, he was drinking tea and chatting here. it turned out that it was all to catch all the enemies in one fell swoop. luo feng chuckled and said, ¡°i don¡¯t usually like to eliminate the root of the problem, because i think everyone will make mistakes. i can give them a chance to correct themselves. unfortunately, some people just don¡¯t cherish it.¡± these words were meant to congratulate zachary as well as congratulate him. luo feng had saved zachary¡¯s face and only chased him out of the show recording. he didn¡¯t tell shanghai tv station the exact situation. it could be said that he had done things up to their best ability! however, some people refused to cherish it and insisted on fighting to the death. luo feng had long expected kou zhiyuan and zachary to collude. they were of the same origin after all. he looked at his phone. there were many unread messages. lei jin: ¡°brother, there are all kinds of rumors online again. i caught a few typical ones for you.¡± xiaochun: ¡°boss, boss, we¡¯ve compiled a list of rumors. just the name alone has three pages of paper. i wonder if it¡¯s enough.¡± tang jin: ¡°boss, don¡¯t worry. i¡¯ve already refuted the rumors in our school. everyone is clarifying things everywhere now, but i don¡¯t think there¡¯s any obvious effect.¡± professor vincent said, ¡°kid, what are you doing outside again? the school has already made a written clarification. handle your work well.¡± xie yan said, ¡°we¡¯ve already dealt with the paparazzi. don¡¯t make a fuss and keep a low profile.¡± many friends and relatives sent concerned messages. luo feng¡¯s heart warmed and he was very touched. he threw the phone to yang tianzhen and said, ¡°xiaochun and tang jin have compiled a list of rumors. as soon as zachary comes out, warn these people immediately!¡± ¡°what about kou zhiyuan and zachary?¡± yang tianzhen asked. ¡°are we going to call the police to arrest them?¡± the two of them looked at each other. only when luo feng nodded seriously did he smile. ¡°send out a lawyer¡¯s letter immediately. anyone who slanders or spreads rumors about our company and me, sue them immediately! i want to use the legal weapon to defend our rights!¡± luo feng said. ¡°understood!¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s blood was boiling. it was finally time to settle the score with kou zhiyuan! wu xingzhou, who had been detached from the matter, also stood up. ¡°boss, what can i do? i want to contribute to the company too!¡± ¡°director wu, you¡­ think about the content of the fourth episode.¡± luo feng patted his shoulder and thought very highly of him. ¡°don¡¯t worry about anything else. just focus on the show!¡± he believed that after this storm subsided, ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ would welcome a new height! he had to seize the opportunity and let the contestants perform well! ¡°that¡¯s it?¡± wu xingzhou was a little disappointed. ¡°this was originally my job. i want to ask if there are any other jobs?¡± ¡°placating the contestants,¡± luo feng said. ¡°they must be very worried about the future of the show now. you and emcee ai can drive the contestants together.¡± ¡°alright, alright.¡± wu xingzhou was a little regretful. ¡°what about you, boss? aren¡¯t you staying?¡± luo feng pointed at zhu bai and said, ¡°she and i are going to shanghai tv station.¡± Chapter 398 - 398 From Making A Mistake To Apologizing Was Only Half An Hour 398 from making a mistake to apologizing was only half an hour zachary was the director borrowed by shanghai tv station to direct the filming of the variety show, since luo feng had already decided to show no mercy, he definitely had to go over and greet him personally. director zuo had always taken good care of him after all. with zhu bai as a witness, luo feng drove to the shanghai tv station building. meanwhile, yang tianzhen contacted the public relations team and the lawyer, preparing to retaliate. as the two sides were fighting back, the public opinion on the internet had already reached a white-hot stage. it was probably because the students of tang jin union school had clarified the rumors one by one and revealed the evidence. kou zhiyuan bought more ghostwriters to control the comments and suppress all the clarifications. the number of passersby and netizens who were watching the commotion also increased. the discussion fell into the most lively peak! zach used his account to make a statement at the right time. [it¡¯s true that i was removed from the production team of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯. i¡¯ve never met such a rude and unreasonable partner over my decade of directorship. i¡¯m very grateful to the entertainment reporters for not fearing power and speaking up for justice. they analyzed the truth for the audience. i just want to say that good and evil will eventually be rewarded.] the moment this news was released, it instantly ignited the trending searches! it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over hot oil. the netizens were in an uproar! ¡°the program director has personally appeared. looks like it¡¯s all true!¡± ¡°in our society, we¡¯ll more or less save some face. i wonder how much the production team has gone overboard to make director zachary say such harsh words.¡± ¡°it¡¯s been a long time since i¡¯ve seen a living fight. hahahaha, let¡¯s fight, let¡¯s fight!¡± ¡°everyone, director zachary¡¯s work has won an international award and brought honor to our countrymen. it¡¯s really disappointing to be bullied by our compatriots!¡± ¡°how long is ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ keep quiet? don¡¯t think that you can just keep quiet!¡± ¡°to think that i supported your show so much and even farmed gifts for the live-stream! refund! refund!¡± it was unknown if it was intentional or if everyone¡¯s anger was too similar, but the topic of ¡°idol cultivation¡± quickly rushed to the top of the trending searches. it was filled with angry audience members who were all attacking the production team. zachary saw the netizens mocking and ridiculing him under the topic and laughed until he slapped his thigh. in the past, he only felt that the audience¡¯s standards were poor and couldn¡¯t appreciate his profound art. now, it seemed that his literary talent wasn¡¯t bad. at least, he didn¡¯t repeat himself when scolding others. ¡°hahaha, luo feng, let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to make a comeback this time!¡± zachary scolded into his phone. the third episode of the program had just been broadcasted, but the popularity of the audience had already collapsed. even if they played any tricks in the future, they would not be able to turn the situation around. ¡°idol cultivation¡± was destined to go through the core of the planet! in his happiness, zachary thought of kou zhiyuan again. in view of his previous unreliable actions, zachary specially sent a greeting message. ¡°did that undercover player of yours get away in time?¡± ¡°just a little bit more. she haven¡¯t sent me the new scandal yet,¡± kou zhiyuan replied. ¡°but you don¡¯t have to worry. that girl is very smart. she knows what to say and what not to say.¡± zachary was just going through the motions and wasn¡¯t really concerned. at this moment, his phone vibrated again. ¡°come to my office.¡± the content of the message was short and precise, but zachary¡¯s heart suddenly tightened¡ª it was from director zuo. he thought that it made sense. after he left, he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to report back to the station. he hid in the house and didn¡¯t go anywhere. the matter had already blown up even though he was there just in name. he really had to go back and give an explanation. as zachary put on his clothes, he thought about what he should say later. at the same time, he wanted to apply for a vacation overseas to temporarily stay away from all these troubles. at the thought of this, zachary¡¯s mind was only filled with the yacht and the beauty in the swimsuit. he put on his sunglasses and cap and took a taxi to the shanghai tv station building. at this moment, the downstairs was already surrounded by reporters holding microphones. seven or eight security guards held hands and formed a human wall, barely blocking these people outside the door. the security captain was using a loudspeaker to persuade everyone to leave. no one was sure. all eyes were fixed on the door. zachary smiled smugly, knowing that these people were here to interview him. he pressed down his hat and ran in from the side door. he walked to the left director¡¯s office with ease. in order to make the act more realistic, zachary ruffled his hair before knocking on the door. knock, knock- there were two knocks on the door, but there was no greeting. the door came from inside. upon seeing the face of the person who opened the door, zachary felt like he had been hit in the head. his first reaction was to turn around and leave. luo feng gave a fake smile. ¡°the director is here. director zuo has been waiting for you for a long time.¡± zachary¡¯s mind buzzed, and he instantly short-circuited. he had only posted his article for less than 10 minutes, so why was luo feng already in the director¡¯s office? he glanced at the half-empty tea on the table and knew that the two of them had definitely been chatting for a while. then, he looked at the girl in the uniform of the ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ contestant by the wall. the number 49 stung zachary¡¯s eyes. he immediately knew the girl¡¯s identity. kou zhiyuan, that unreliable person, did not know that his undercover agent had been caught! there was only one thought in zachary¡¯s mind¡ªhis house had been stolen. it was over! luo feng actually reached out to director zuo! he didn¡¯t even have a chance to quibble! zachary walked stiffly to the left desk and gulped. ¡°director¡­ director, why are you looking for me?¡± the director was expressionless. he raised his hand and threw the recording pen in front of zachary. ¡°listen to this. look what you¡¯ve done!¡± there was a hint of anger in his words because luo feng was present and he didn¡¯t flare up. looking at zachary lowering his head and not saying a word, he looked like a young kid who had made a mistake. director zuo was instantly furious. walking around the desk, the director walked up to zachary. ¡°back then, i saw that you were capable, so i recommended you to director luo. i didn¡¯t expect you to do such an embarrassing thing!¡± ¡°in order to save your face, chairman luo didn¡¯t say anything and quietly changed directors. but what about you? you even colluded with others to make a fake statement. you saw so many reporters downstairs, right? let¡¯s see what else you have to say!¡± this time, zachary was the one who led the way. originally, both sides were peaceful, but he insisted on venting his anger. not only did he drag the entire television station down, but he also fooled the audience. ¡°director¡­ director, i was just confused! i¡­¡± zachary still wanted to defend himself, but he was interrupted by the director on the left. ¡°it¡¯s useless to tell me. go tell director luo and the reporters below!¡± after saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked to the window. it was obvious that he did not want to hear a word. zachary turned around and looked at luo feng, who was leisurely sipping tea on the sofa. he immediately gave in. he walked over and squatted down. ¡°boss luo, i was bewitched by someone and became muddle-headed for a moment. you¡¯re a big shot, so please forgive me. i beg you.¡± Chapter 399 - 399 Clarification, Everyone Will Have Their Retribution 399 clarification, everyone will have their retribution luo feng savored the tea in his cup. yes, it tasted the same as the tea in his own house. he had not been idle ever since he hooked up with the television station. he had sent all kinds of gifts non-stop. luo feng reserved a tea mountain and hired someone to pick the top tea tips on the tea mountain after knowing that the director liked tea. they could not be bought on the market even if they wanted to. everyone in the farmyard had it too because he had produced too much. the director couldn¡¯t even cover up for zachary even if he wanted to after luo feng spent so much effort. moreover, director zuo had personally decided on the program ¡°idol cultivation¡±. upon learning that zachary had almost screwed up the project, the director was so angry that he almost vomited blood. luo feng ignored zachary, who was squatting down, and only focused on sipping his tea. the director¡¯s attitude was clear, and zachary became incomparably humble. one had to know that even if he was caught red-handed by luo feng, zachary¡¯s arrogant head wouldn¡¯t be lowered so low. ¡°boss luo, let¡¯s talk things out.¡± zachary smiled obsequiously. ¡°if you have any requests, feel free to ask. i¡¯ll definitely do my best to satisfy them!¡± luo feng put down his teacup and snorted. ¡°now, the entire internet is chasing after me and scolding me. the program has been negatively affected, and even the sponsors have been implicated. what else can i say?!¡± zachary knew what to do even without luo feng¡¯s detailed request. he was a little hesitant. it had been less than 20 minutes since the announcement was released after all. if he released another clarification announcement in a short period of time, he would definitely be scolded to death by the netizens. then the reputation that he had built up over the years would be ruined, and his career would be ruined! luo feng sneered and said, ¡°director zachary, with the evidence in my hands and your announcement, i can sue you for defamation. you don¡¯t want to lose money and go to jail, right?¡± ¡°this¡­¡± zachary was so frightened that his face turned pale. he glared at luo feng in panic. ¡°look at that.¡± luo feng pointed at zhu bai in the corner. ¡°that¡¯s a spy arranged by kou zhiyuan. what she did wasn¡¯t as impactful as what you did.¡± however, he still did not let her leave. luo feng might have a good temper but he was not a saint who could forgive all malice. zachary was the one who wanted to walk into a dead end. luo feng had given him a chance, but he didn¡¯t cherish it. hence, zachary had to bear the consequences himself. zachary was conflicted for a while. during this period, he kept turning back to look at the director, hoping that the director would speak up for him on account of their past relationship. but zuo director was like a statue, completely ignoring them. ¡°alright, i¡¯ll listen to your arrangements.¡± zachary gave up resisting. it was better to have his career destroyed than to go to jail. as soon as he finished speaking, zuo director seemed to have suddenly recovered his hearing. he waved his hand and said, ¡°alright, you young people can settle your own matters. i¡¯m going to a meeting.¡± luo feng stood up and said, ¡°sorry to trouble you, zuo director. we¡¯ll settle it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°alright.¡± zuo director nodded. seeing that luo feng was about to leave, he added, ¡°that tea leaf is not bad, right?¡± luo feng smiled. of course, it was not bad. after all, he had carefully selected it. ¡°i happen to have more. i¡¯ll get someone to send some to you tomorrow.¡± ¡°okay, good luck with the show.¡± zuo director was satisfied and invited a few people away. zachary was dumbfounded. it had to be known that zuo director didn¡¯t easily accept gifts from others. he would not even take a second look at gold bar. even though everyone on the stage knew that zuo director liked tea leaves, very few could make him accept them. this luo feng had clearly sent a gift to the zuo director¡¯s heart. otherwise, the zuo director would not have been unable to forget him. it was too terrifying! only then did zachary clearly realize that he had provoked someone he shouldn¡¯t have. ¡°you¡¯re a director. you must be good at writing.¡± when they were about to reach the first floor, luo feng suddenly asked. zachary followed in small steps and nodded humbly. ¡°it should be alright. i can explain things clearly.¡± smack! luo feng snapped his fingers and pointed at the group of reporters at the entrance. ¡°coincidentally, there are ready-made conditions. go and explain things to them immediately.¡± ¡°now?¡± zachary was sweating profusely. in the warm room, he kept wiping his sweat with his expensive t-shirt. ¡°what¡­ what do i want to say?¡± luo feng looked at him pitifully and patted his shoulder. ¡°of course it¡¯s to clarify the rumors you created. don¡¯t implicate me and the television station. you can do whatever you want.¡± ¡°but¡­ but¡­¡± zachary didn¡¯t say anything for a long time. luo feng continued, ¡°this is the fastest way. it¡¯s even faster than you posting your second essay online. or do you want to cover the company¡¯s losses? you can pay the compensation for the breach of contract. i have no objections.¡± more than 10 advertising companies and three online platforms, not to mention shanghai tv station. all of these added up to hundreds of millions of yuan! zachary had no choice but to do as luo feng asked. luo feng smiled and said, ¡°by the way, only microcosm has the right to broadcast. i¡¯ve already contacted the reporters to wait at the door. the one in slippers. remember to emphasize it to him.¡± the reporter was also an acquaintance of luo feng. when he heard that there was something important, he jumped out of bed without even changing his shoes. ¡°go ahead, director zachary.¡± luo feng made a ¡°please¡± gesture. zachary walked towards the entrance with one hand on the other. the reporters instantly became chaotic, and the sound of the shutters grew louder. luo feng knew that zachary was already in position. ¡°um¡­ boss luo¡­¡± zhu bai called out to luo feng softly, ¡°wh-what should i do now? you brought me everywhere, i¡­¡± after witnessing luo feng¡¯s methods and zachary¡¯s fate, zhu bai should be worried about him. ¡°go back and deliver a message to kou zhiyuan,¡± luo feng said. ¡°i want him to resign from his position as morris supervisor within two days and make a public apology to me. as for the compensation amount, my lawyer will inform him.¡± ¡°what about me?¡± zhu bai only asked her to deliver a message and did not mention about her at all. could it be that luo feng was merciful and wanted to let her off? luo feng glanced at her and smiled. ¡°go back and wait for the lawyer to inform you.¡± zhu bai had done so many bad things. if luo feng let her off easily, it would be irresponsible to the other contestants. however, luo feng did not want to handle it personally, so he handed everything to the law. ¡°you should give up on your dream of becoming a celebrity and find a 9-to-5 job.¡± these were luo feng¡¯s last words to zhu bai. zhu bai followed behind luo feng with a dazed expression while going to the morris office building. luo feng drove her to the building and left. as zhu bai walked into the building in a daze, the innovative artist pr team began to operate. they first made an announcement to explain the situation, then released a list of complaints. it was filled with netizens who had spread rumors online. they also directly shouted at the media who had originally posted the article, indicating that if they did not delete the article, the evidence would start to be released in ten minutes. their unyielding attitude and swift counterattack made the netizens doubt everything they had seen before. Chapter 400 - 400 A Lifelong Pursuit, About to Be Realized! 400 a lifelong pursuit, about to be realized! after finishing his work, luo feng returned to the recording site of ¡°idol cultivation¡±. as soon as he pushed open the office door, ai tingya threw herself into his arms. ¡°why are you only back now? how¡¯s the matter going?¡± ¡°turn on your phone and take a look.¡± luo feng stroked ai tingya¡¯s head. ¡°how are the contestants¡¯ emotions? will it affect the fourth episode?¡± ai tingya looked at her phone and said, ¡°i don¡¯t think so. the girls are still very optimistic. they know that the opportunity is hard to come by. they all say that they will put the competition first.¡± ¡°very good.¡± luo feng smiled. it was not in vain that he had spent so much effort to build such a huge stage. ai tingya turned on her phone, and zachary¡¯s interview live broadcast popped up. she had to watch it even if she didn¡¯t want to. ¡°you¡¯ve already put it on livestream?¡± ai tingya was extremely surprised. ¡°how many people can see it?¡± luo feng chuckled. ¡°with our current popularity, i don¡¯t know how many pairs of eyes are watching us. it¡¯s a good opportunity to show them.¡± on the screen, zachary¡¯s expression was very painful, as if someone was holding a knife to his neck. every word he said was filled with reluctance. he first explained the misunderstanding between him and luo feng and attributed the previous statement to the account being stolen. ai tingya smiled and said, ¡°do people really believe this reason?¡± luo feng had already grasped the essence of public relations in the entertainment industry. ¡°he just wants to find a reason. he doesn¡¯t care if anyone will believe him. in the future, he will refute the rumors in the direction of this reason.¡± ¡°why?¡± ai tingya was puzzled. ¡°why did you tell such an obvious lie?¡± ¡°because this is already his best choice.¡± luo feng smiled and said, ¡°of course, the consequence of fooling the public is the netizens¡¯ counterattack, but zachary isn¡¯t a celebrity in front of the stage. the audience¡¯s love isn¡¯t that important to him.¡± furthermore, zachary had already gained both fame and fortune, so lying was his way of protecting his reputation. as long as no one recorded the evidence, no one could hammer him to death after all. ¡°wouldn¡¯t that be letting him off easy?¡± ai tingya pursed her lips, feeling a little indignant. ¡°of course not, baby. i¡¯ll still sue him for reputation infringement.¡± luo feng hugged ai tingya and tapped the tip of her nose. that was part of the punishment. furthermore, luo feng wasn¡¯t the only one who would settle scores with zachary. zachary and kou zhiyuan, these two fake allies, would soon split up because of this matter. the two of them would also put on a dogfight. it was a pity that luo feng could not be in the audience in the first row. ¡°then, are some of the details regarding the article that helped you uphold justice true? did you say it personally?¡± the reporter luo feng got asked a very sharp question. it was all zachary¡¯s fault for telling kou zhiyuan everything at that time. that article even mentioned that the information was obtained from the interview! zachary saw that he couldn¡¯t shirk the responsibility, so he could only shift the blame. ¡°actually, to be honest, our creative concepts are different and i did have some conflicts with luo feng, but it¡¯s not as unbearable as the article says.¡± zachary put on his full acting skills. ¡°here, i can tell everyone very responsibly that i¡¯ve only told mr. kou zhiyuan of morris about those complaints. i also hope that mr. kou can give me an explanation as to whether he was the one who said it.¡± the public opinion pointed at kou zhiyuan again. the bullet screen in the live-stream also erupted. ¡°i knew it had something to do with morris.¡± ¡°does the internet have any memories? has the issue of so many trainees accusing morris of sucking human blood been forgotten? or did luo feng take them in?!¡± ¡°what dirty tricks, what an exciting scene. the entertainment circle is indeed much more fun!¡± ¡°the person who spread the rumors has already been sued. it¡¯s time for the perpetrator to pay the price!¡± most of the netizens who posted the comments were on luo feng¡¯s side. the public opinion quickly reversed. luo feng didn¡¯t expect zachary to bite back directly in front of the camera. he was really bold. he wasn¡¯t afraid that kou zhiyuan would be anxious and die with him. ai tingya closed the live-stream in disdain. ¡°you¡¯re not watching anymore?¡± luo feng said in surprise. ¡°it¡¯s the exciting part.¡± ¡°i don¡¯t want to watch anymore. anyway, the outcome will be beneficial to us.¡± ai tingya really didn¡¯t like to see these hypocritical faces. instead of wasting time on a live broadcast filled with lies, she wanted to stay quietly with luo feng. ¡°when will kou zhiyuan surrender?¡± ai tingya leaned on luo feng¡¯s shoulder. ¡°let¡¯s go home after this is over. dad, mom, and grandpa must be very worried.¡± ¡°alright.¡± luo feng also wanted to rest for a while. just as the two of them were talking, luo feng¡¯s phone vibrated. this could be his busiest day, with his phone vibrating like a massage chair. he opened his phone and took a look. ¡°i surrender. everything will be as you wish.¡± there were also two pictures of resignation letters attached at the back. the name column had ¡°kou zhiyuan¡± written on it. the ink at the signature seemed to have not dried yet. it reflected a weak light and was accurately captured by the camera. ¡°everything¡¯s okay now!¡± luo feng raised his phone in front of ai tingya. ¡°kou zhiyuan has resigned.¡± the message interface changed to a call interface, and zhu bai called to report the situation before ai tingya could see it. ¡°boss luo, you should have seen the message, right? morris¡¯ higher-ups were worried that kou zhiyuan would affect the company¡¯s reputation, so they forced him to resign, including some of his previous work¡­ and blamed kou zhiyuan for some disgraceful things.¡± ¡°well done.¡± ¡°thank you for your compliment. kou zhiyuan should be on his way to apologize now. is my work done?¡± zhu bai asked carefully with a sobbing tone. her work was done, and she had to completely give up her dream of becoming a celebrity. perhaps she had once regretted not cherishing the stage of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯, but it was too late for regrets now. after hanging up, luo feng suddenly pulled ai tingya out. ai tingya asked, ¡°didn¡¯t you say that kou zhiyuan is coming over soon? where are you going now?¡± ¡°let¡¯s go home.¡± luo feng quickened his pace. ¡°i don¡¯t want to see his face. even if he apologizes, he doesn¡¯t mean it, so i won¡¯t accept it.¡± ¡°but they¡¯re already here.¡± ¡°then let old yang come over. he¡¯ll definitely be happy to accept yang tianzhen¡¯s apology.¡± as luo feng walked, he called yang tianzhen and explained everything about the variety show, including finding a new emcee. ai tingya was even more confused. ¡°if you found a new emcee, what should i do?¡± luo feng suddenly stopped and turned around to press down on ai tingya¡¯s shoulder. he revealed a row of white teeth and smiled maliciously. ¡°as for you, of course you¡¯re going to give birth to my child!¡± after being married for so long, she had been so busy with her career that she had forgotten about her family. father and mother luo had urged her countless times, and professor ai had always sighed and wanted to have a great-grandson. when ai tingya heard this, she quickly slapped luo feng¡¯s hand away. ¡°you always do whatever you want. can you discuss it with me?¡± ¡°you¡¯re unwilling?¡± luo feng¡¯s face was filled with disappointment. it was said that career women in the new era were not interested in giving birth. could it be that ai tingya was going to devote her life to her career? of course, if ai tingya was unwilling, luo feng would definitely not force her. he seriously considered going to the orphanage to adopt one. on second thought, they were raising an entire orphanage now, so the adoption procedure was completely unnecessary. a moment later, ai tingya blushed and whispered, ¡°we¡¯ll talk about gi-giving birth after the variety show ends.¡± luo feng¡¯s ears twitched. he held ai tingya¡¯s face and kissed it. ¡°i¡¯ll be a good father. i¡¯ll resign and learn how to raise children now!¡± ¡°hey!¡± ai tingya put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry. ¡°do you really want to live off me? why don¡¯t you care about the company?!¡± luo feng hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, ¡°of course. i work hard to freeload.¡± this dream is about to come true! Chapter 401 - 401 Lifes Problem, You Must Choose One Or The Other! 401 life¡¯s problem, you must choose one or the other! reality proved that luo feng had overlooked something very important. someone had to take care of the company when ai tingya took on the responsibility of giving birth, right? while the employees of the company were all very hardworking and could handle everything, the boss was like the captain at the helm in the ups and downs of the business world. the captain was an irreplaceable existence! due to luo feng¡¯s lack of consideration, he had told his parents and ai zhaojiang in advance that the two of them were preparing to have children. the ringtone of his phone was like the background music in the mall and had never stopped. ¡°oh my, the two of you have finally thought it through. your father and i will pick tingya up and go home immediately. don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll take care of tingya!¡± mother luo called excitedly, every word raised in joy. ¡°there¡¯s no need, mom. the two of us are doing quite well in shanghai. it¡¯s quite convenient to conduct checkups and everything here.¡± luo feng held his forehead. who did his mother actually give birth to? ¡°our place isn¡¯t bad either. that big city is so polluted,¡± mother luo said non-stop. ¡°besides, tingya likes my cooking. i don¡¯t care. i have to stay by tingya¡¯s side and take care of her during the entire pregnancy!¡± luo feng could feel his mother¡¯s excitement even though it was through the screen. ai tingya was extremely touched as she listened from the side. she covered her mouth and giggled. luo feng rolled his eyes at her and shook his head helplessly. he was about to say something when another call came in. seeing that it was ai zhaojiang, luo feng temporarily hung up on mother luo. ¡°grandpa? what¡¯s wrong?¡± luo feng asked. ¡°ahem, it¡¯s just that¡­ yes, i have tidied up a room for tingya¡­ erm¡­ when are you guys coming back? i¡¯ll head to the airport¡­ to pick you up,¡± ai zhaojiang said shyly. the older generation was always inexplicably reserved. ai zhaojiang rarely called to care about ai tingya, but she would beat around the bush and bypass others. sometimes, she was as awkward as a child. luo feng knew ai zhaojiang¡¯s motive and smiled bitterly. ¡°grandpa, we haven¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°where are you going if not back here?¡± ai zhaojiang exploded. ¡°it¡¯s not easy for tingya to have free time. of course, she has to come back to stay with me, her grandfather!¡± previously, ai zhaojiang was not very happy when luo feng and ai tingya had planned to go to shanghai to develop. his granddaughter had finally returned to his side and had to keep shifting every two to three years, but he could not stop the young man from exploring the world, so he had been enduring. ai zhaojiang was so happy that he couldn¡¯t sleep ever since he found out that ai tingya was going to take some time off to prepare for her pregnancy. he found someone to clean up the courtyard house the next day. ¡°i don¡¯t care. anyway, tingya wants to stay with me!¡± ai zhaojiang said something similar to mother luo. ¡°i¡¯ve even contacted the nanny!¡± luo feng laughed and turned to look at ai tingya. he had no choice but to ask ai tingya for help. ai tingya took the phone and said softly, ¡°grandpa, it¡¯s tingya.¡± ¡°aiya, tingya.¡± ai zhaojiang¡¯s voice softened as well. ¡°grandpa is almost done with the preparations. come back early to take a look to see if there anything missing?¡± ¡°but grandpa, mom also said that she wants us to return to crown city.¡± ai tingya¡¯s voice was small. the other party was silent for two to three seconds before hanging up. ai tingya and luo feng did not understand ai zhaojiang¡¯s thoughts. they looked at each other and smiled helplessly. the two of them leaned against each other and sat on the sofa, watching the boring breeding program on tv. they made small talk and enjoyed the leisure of doing nothing. buzz¡ª buzz¡ª not long after, luo feng and ai tingya¡¯s phones vibrated. the two of them picked it up and took a look. the message popped up like a staircase. luo feng opened it and saw that it was all messages from mother luo and professor ai. these two elders had already ended a round of battles behind luo feng and ai tingya¡¯s backs. it was just a matter of where ai tingya should go and crazily giving excuses. mother luo said that she would take care of them personally, so ai zhaojiang found a live-in nanny with 20 years of experience. mother luo said that crown city was closer to ai tingya, so ai zhaojiang said that the medical standards in his city were the best in the country¡­ in short, they argued for more than an hour, but neither of them convinced the other. ¡°these two are really¡­¡± ai tingya was both touched and helpless. she gently punched luo feng¡¯s arm and said angrily, ¡°it¡¯s all your fault. you mentioned it so early. what should we do now?¡± luo feng also wanted to resign and serve his wife at home. however, after ai tingya got pregnant, the company¡¯s matters still had to fall on him. this went against luo feng¡¯s original intention. he did not expect mother luo and ai zhaojiang to fight. it was probably too late to retract his previous words. luo feng scratched his head in frustration. ¡°ha¡­ what should we do now?¡± according to luo feng¡¯s understanding of the elders on both sides, they might have started preparing long ago. they had probably already reached the step of choosing clothes for the child. both sides would definitely be disappointed if they chose either. ai tingya leaned on luo feng¡¯s shoulder. her heart warmed, thinking that someone was thinking about her. she said, ¡°how long do you think they¡¯ll fight for?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t know.¡± luo feng hugged ai tingya. ¡°but i¡¯m sure that they would continue fighting if we don¡¯t speak.¡± as expected, 10 minutes later, another three screenshots were sent over. the reason why mother luo and ai zhaojiang chatted with words instead of video or phone calls was to show off their advantages and increase their chances of being chosen. ai tingya and luo feng looked at the screen that kept flashing and suddenly felt caught between a rock and a hard place. they had to choose one or the other! luo feng rubbed the back of his neck and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°isn¡¯t this too enthusiastic? tingya, where do you want to go?¡± ai tingya glared at luo feng. ¡°it¡¯s very difficult to choose now.¡± buzz! buzz! buzz! buzz! their phones were still vibrating non-stop. the more ai tingya listened, the more flustered she became. from the content of the conversation, it seemed like both sides would not stop until they had a winner. this was simply roasting luo feng and ai tingya over a fire. they had originally planned to deal with it coldly, but it seemed like they could not do so now. ¡°what should we do?¡± ai tingya looked worried. she knew that ai zhaojiang and mother luo were doing this for her own good and didn¡¯t want to disappoint either of them. ¡°it¡¯s fine.¡± luo feng couldn¡¯t bear to see ai tingya sad. he immediately patted his chest and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, leave it to me. i¡¯ll definitely handle it well.¡± ¡°really?¡± ai tingya smiled through her tears and looked expectantly at luo feng as he operated his phone. just as he said, the shaking stopped very quickly. both sides seemed to have suddenly thought it through and did not send another message. ai tingya said in surprise, ¡°how did you do it?¡± luo feng turned his phone proudly. there was only a simple reply: ¡°if you guys continue arguing, i¡¯ll take care of tingya alone!¡± one sentence sent to two sides. ¡°since i can¡¯t resolve the conflict, i¡¯ll divert it. they will definitely unite and deal with me unanimously!¡± luo feng placed his hands on his hips. Chapter 403 - 403 Airport Pickup, Everywhere Is a Debate Ground 403 airport pickup, everywhere is a debate ground not long after the two guest rooms were cleaned up, luo feng received a message from mother luo. ¡°mom has already gotten off the plane. i¡¯ll go pick her up,¡± luo feng said. ¡°grandpa¡¯s plane is probably arriving soon. i will probably stay at the airport for a while and might eat at the airport.¡± ¡°alright, i¡¯ll settle it myself.¡± ai tingya nodded. she wanted to go with them to the airport, but her body was still a little weak. it was not good for her to be seen by the elders, so she could only give up. luo feng left the house and drove his ferrari. he stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the airport. however, in a big city like shanghai, the only inconvenience was traffic, especially on the way to the airport. there was no end to the cars blocking the road. luo feng sent a message to mother luo and told her that he still needed some time to arrive. he asked mother luo to wait a little longer. if she was hungry, she could eat at the airport. then, luo feng received a photo from mother luo. it was a photo of her and ai zhaojiang. there was a caption: ¡°drive slowly. there¡¯s no hurry. i was just about to chat with professor ai, hehe.¡± looking at the two emotionless words at the back, luo feng shivered for no reason. why did it feel like these two netizens were meeting offline and arguing on the internet? wouldn¡¯t there be a storm of blood when they met? luo feng felt that something was wrong and hurriedly pressed the horn to urge the car in front to move. ¡°why are you so noisy? can¡¯t you see that there¡¯s a traffic jam in front? why are you in such a hurry to fly over?!¡± the driver in front cursed. ¡°fly?¡± these words seemed to open up luo feng¡¯s thoughts. he suddenly thought of a very serious problem. what if ai tingya encountered such a traffic jam on the day of delivery? the road from their villa to the hospital was not very far, but because of early planning, the road was narrow, causing a traffic jam to the hospital. previously, luo feng had heard that the government was also troubled by the traffic jam in the hospital and wanted to move the shanghai general hospital to the new district. however, he seemed to have been delayed by other matters. ¡°should i buy a helicopter or a hospital?¡± luo feng felt that he had to think about this question carefully. as he walked and stopped, he finally arrived at shanghai airport an hour and a half later. as soon as he walked into the terminal lobby, he heard the delayed announcement of the plane. it was most likely because of this that there were especially many people picking him up. luo feng immediately saw a crowd, as if they were watching something exciting. he tilted his ear and accurately captured two familiar voices. ¡°this is the food chicken that our hometown fed us. we haven¡¯t eaten any food since we were young! it¡¯s definitely nutritious!¡± ¡°this is a top-grade plum blossom ginseng gifted by my student! the stew is so fresh that even the seasonings are left!¡± ¡°i signed up for nursing class. i¡¯m almost graduating!¡± ¡°my student has already helped me contact the best housekeeping company in shanghai!¡± the voices of a man and a woman argued endlessly. luo feng pushed through the crowd and saw the two people surrounded. his expression changed drastically. mother luo and ai zhaojiang each carried two extra-large boxes. as they took things out of the boxes, they introduced them as if they were setting up a street stall. there were books on gelatin worm grass, dried frozen meat, postpartum care, and maternity dresses that had been prepared early. one of them was the mother of the ceo of a listed company, and the other was a respected old professor. at this moment, they were like two children bickering. they insisted on competing, and they were especially childish! ¡°i heard that the child at home is about to give birth. the two elders are fighting over who should take care of the kid.¡± ¡°being their child must be very blissful. these things look expensive.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. my mother-in-law never showed up when i was pregnant. she came right after the baby was born and was especially outrageous.¡± ¡°i really want to see which family¡¯s daughter is so lucky.¡± the crowd whispered among themselves. some people were even taking photos with their phones. they didn¡¯t mock mother luo and ai zhaojiang at all. instead, they were very envious, especially the women who had experienced the pain of childbirth. they kept shaking their heads and sighing. why didn¡¯t they get a good husband? there were more and more onlookers here, and the security guards maintaining order at the airport were also approaching in twos and threes. luo feng had no choice but to go out. he pushed through the crowd and said anxiously, ¡°mom, grandpa, what are you doing?! hurry up and put everything away!¡± ¡°xiao feng is here!¡± mother luo got carried away and pulled luo feng to show off. ¡°look at the wild fungus i brought for tingya. it¡¯s not bad, right?¡± ¡°alright, alright.¡± luo feng pressed down on his mother¡¯s restless hand and squatted on the ground to help throw the things into the box. as he kept it, he apologized to the others. ¡°i¡¯m sorry. everyone, please excuse me. you can leave now.¡± after packing up mother luo¡¯s box, luo feng packed up for ai zhaojiang. in the end, he carried two waist-high boxes and said with a dark expression, ¡°the car is outside. let¡¯s go.¡± get out of this embarrassing place. he walked in front. mother luo and ai zhaojiang were still unsatisfied and kept talking along the way. luo feng felt like he had pulled two parrots who had just learned how to speak. what surprised luo feng even more was that the two elders actually spoke logically and were even more professional than professional caregivers. ¡°mom, grandpa.¡± luo feng couldn¡¯t help but interrupt the two of them. ¡°you must be tired from the flight. why don¡¯t you rest for a while? it¡¯s still a distance from home.¡± ¡°no need,¡± mother luo said. it was as if she had just remembered that it was her own son who was driving. along the way, she had been talking to ai zhaojiang about ai tingya and seemed to have neglected luo feng. mother luo asked as if she was trying to salvage the situation, ¡°by the way, xiao feng, i saw your company¡¯s variety show previously. has the huge negative news subsided?¡± ¡°it¡¯s done long ago. don¡¯t worry,¡± luo feng said very casually. ¡°sigh, there¡¯s a mix of people in the entertainment industry. you and tingya have to pay more attention,¡± ai zhaojiang reminded her earnestly. in fact, he was the one who was most worried about the slander incident. he called everywhere to ask for a solution. unfortunately, ai zhaojiang had students from all walks of life. there were only a few in the entertainment industry. it was not easy to contact them, but luo feng had already finished dealing with them. ai zhaojiang was still rather dissatisfied with their decision to step into the entertainment industry. he only hoped that luo feng and ai tingya could manage the business in their hands well. seeing that there was no sound from the backseat, luo feng glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that mother luo and ai zhaojiang¡¯s expressions were not right. this was clearly a sign of nagging! most of them were nagging that young people did not like to hear. luo feng quickly changed the topic. ¡°by the way, mom, why isn¡¯t my father here?¡± ¡°dean du is busy and can¡¯t manage alone. your father said that he won¡¯t be of help here, so he stayed at home.¡± mother luo¡¯s thoughts followed luo feng. in fact, some of the businesses in crown city no longer needed father luo, mother luo, and dean du to deal with them personally. luo feng had hired professionals to take care of them, but dean du was still worried about leaving the children in the orphanage to others. previously, luo feng had unintentionally heard dean du call ai tingya. that obviously tired voice made people sigh. luo feng knew that dean du also wanted to come to shanghai. he was very happy to think that so many people cared about ai tingya. Chapter 404 - 404 Go Back to Work! We Will Take Care of Tingya! 404 go back to work! we will take care of tingya! when mother luo and ai zhaojiang arrived in shanghai, the villa immediately became lively. every morning, at dawn, luo feng and ai tingya were woken up by mother luo¡¯s shouts and asked to get up for breakfast. ai tingya was still alright. even though she was very tired every night, her biological clock allowed her to accept mother luo¡¯s schedule. luo feng, on the other hand, suffered. unlike ai tingya, he was not a rigid person. when he could slack off, he would slack off. when he had something to do, he would often finish it quickly, be it day or not. this caused his biological clock to be very chaotic. other than sleeping in, there was almost no pattern. he was forced to wake up for breakfast every day. it was not easy for him to rely on his willpower to put the fried egg in his mouth, and yet he still had to listen to mother luo¡¯s nagging. ¡°little feng, you stayed up late again, right? how many times have i told you? staying up late can easily shorten your lifespan.¡± mother luo¡¯s mouth was like a machine gun as she counted the disadvantages of staying up late, as if luo feng was about to be notified of a critical illness. ¡°got it, got it.¡± luo feng massaged his temples and said impatiently. at this moment, the door was pushed open. ai zhaojiang, who was dressed in a white tai chi suit, walked in with a wooden sword in her hand. ¡°professor ai, you¡¯re back from your morning exercise. come and eat.¡± mother luo immediately set up a new bowl and chopsticks. when she saw the guy in ai zhaojiang¡¯s hand, she smiled and said, ¡°why did you come back with a sword?¡± mother luo respected ai zhaojiang very much as ai zhaojiang was an elder after all, that was other than arguing about nursing knowledge. ¡°it¡¯s a gift from old yu. we¡¯ll practice together tomorrow,¡± ai zhaojiang said happily. he washed her hands and sat at the dining table. his eyes lit up as he stared at the fried dough sticks and buns on the table. ¡°yo, it¡¯s so sumptuous today.¡± the two of them had only been here for two to three days and had already successfully adapted to the new environment in shanghai. one of them had entered the eight trigrams square dance team, commonly known as the auntie group. they often asked to buy groceries, shop, and dance together, while the other had integrated into the taiji morning exercise group. he was already quite famous in the neighborhood with his superb chess skills. luo feng and ai tingya had moved in for a year or two, but they didn¡¯t know as many people in the community as mother luo. professor ai knew more people in three days. however, they could not hang out with their new friends all day. most of the time, mother luo and ai zhaojiang were fantasizing about taking care of their grandchildren. luo feng couldn¡¯t bear to dampen their spirits. after all, it hadn¡¯t even begun. they were thinking too far ahead. however, most of the time, luo feng was the one who suffered. he could always provoke the two elders to teach him a lesson in all aspects. his ears were about to be callused. as for why not nag ai tingya, how could they bear to? they only cared about doting on ai tingya, so luo feng had to withstand double the firepower alone. this was making his days feel like years. staying at home was like being in an uncomfortable situation. luo feng clearly realized that his big plan of freeloading, to freeloading, was going to be delayed again! it was not only because ai tingya would reduce her workload, but also because the two elders were suppressing her. now that luo feng was already queuing up to take care of ai tingya, he could not interrupt at all. after breakfast, ai tingya sat on the balcony with ai zhaojiang and chatted. mother luo pulled luo feng to clean up the kitchen. the bowls and chopsticks in her hands clinked and the water flowed, but it still couldn¡¯t stop mother luo¡¯s scolding. ¡°xiao feng, we¡¯ve been here for a few days, but why haven¡¯t i seen you go out for work?¡± mother luo felt that something was amiss. ¡°tingya is reducing her workload but so are you?¡± in mother luo¡¯s impression, luo feng was either laughing foolishly at the computer or at the television at home. he was a useless, unemployed person! this! how could she be worthy of tingya! if luo feng was a spinning top, mother luo wished she had a whip in her hand to whip him and make him move even more. ¡°i understand, mom. i¡¯m just applying for leave to accompany you for two days.¡± luo feng dragged out his voice. if others knew his true thoughts, he would probably scold them again. ¡°we don¡¯t need you to accompany us.¡± mother luo felt that something was wrong. ¡°you¡¯re the boss. who did you apply for leave from?¡± ¡°i¡­¡± luo feng was speechless. he couldn¡¯t say that he had approved the leave slip himself. he stopped himself from speaking for a while and said reluctantly, ¡°i¡¯ll go to work when i get down, okay?¡± upon hearing this, mother luo revealed a knowing smile. ¡°that¡¯s more like it. you have to be responsible for your job! we¡¯ll take good care of tingya. hurry up and pack up.¡± mother luo pushed luo feng away and washed the remaining bowls herself. luo feng walked into the room with two hands full of detergent foam. after a while, he walked out in a suit. after being sent to work, luo feng held his car keys and stood in front of the ferrari. he was suddenly puzzled. where could he go? the person-in-charge of the company¡¯s work in the short term had been arranged. there was no need for another person to be there. ¡°aye.¡± luo feng sighed, sat in the driver¡¯s seat, and slowly left the garage. he drove very slowly along the way, thinking that he could kill time. however, there was always an end to the road. the ferrari stopped outside the farmhouse. in the courtyard. yang tianzhen and benson were lying in rocking chairs, wearing sunglasses and enjoying the sun. it was july in shanghai, and the sun was very scorching. even if it was the morning sun, one would shed his skin if he was exposed to the sun for too long. however, the two people in the courtyard did not care at all. the corners of their mouths were about to reach their ears. ¡°feeling good?¡± luo feng pushed open the door to the courtyard and walked up to the two of them. ¡°of course.¡± yang tianzhen was resting with his eyes closed in his sunglasses, so he didn¡¯t notice who was talking. he crossed his legs in satisfaction and tapped his fingers on the armrest rhythmically, as if there was no one in the world who was more smug than him. yang tianzhen heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, ¡°it¡¯s a pity that boss didn¡¯t see kou zhiyuan apologize. tsk, tsk, tsk. this historic moment can be made into a documentary that can be recorded forever!¡± ¡°aiya! if i had known earlier, i would have recorded it!¡± benson slapped the armrest regretfully. ¡°is that so?¡± luo feng raised his eyebrows. at that time, kou zhiyuan¡¯s scheme had failed. apart from resigning, he had to personally apologize to luo feng. luo feng was not interested, so he pushed it to yang tianzhen. it was really enjoyable to see him like this. having worked together for almost a year, luo feng had never seen yang tianzhen so happy. she was overflowing with joy. ¡°ahem, have you settled everything? you¡¯re just slacking here.¡± luo feng coughed. at this moment, the two of them, who were enjoying the sunbathing, felt that the voice was a little familiar. they lifted their sunglasses and saw luo feng. the two of them stood up straight like military training. ¡°boss, didn¡¯t you go on leave?¡± yang tianzhen smiled obsequiously, unable to hide his guilt. ¡°yes.¡± luo feng acted like a boss and replied indifferently. then, he lifted his clothes and sat on the rocking chair that yang tianzhen had been lying on. he said arrogantly, ¡°due to some force majeure factors, i¡¯m coming back to take over the work.¡± ¡°okay.¡± yang tianzhen and benson were overjoyed. they could save a lot of brain cells with luo feng here to make decisions. most importantly, luo feng was always right! Chapter 405 - 405 Reflect, Boss, What Defects Do I Have? 405 reflect, boss, what defects do i have? yang tianzhen and benson were overjoyed that luo feng had regained control of the company¡¯s development! ¡°boss, ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ is about to be broadcasted halfway. its popularity has always been high!¡± yang tianzhen ran into the house, took out his tablet, and handed the form to luo feng. ¡°even if kou zhiyuan slandered us, it didn¡¯t seem to have caused much of a negative impact,¡± benson said. ¡°the clarification wasn¡¯t timely. fortunately, the ins and outs were very clear. there weren¡¯t many voices of doubt. instead, it became even more famous.¡± luo feng¡¯s starting point was very decent. even when something happened, he still chose to stand on the side of the weaker contestants. compared to an entertainment company that purely treated artists as tools for profit, innovative artist was too humane. everyone hoped to meet a leader who was considerate of his employees. this move resonated with countless workers. all in all, the current popularity of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ could be said to be unparalleled! it could be said to be a phenomenal explosive variety show! after the negative news appeared, it was not affected at all and could still be liked by the general audience. it could be said to be a legend in the industry. in the beginning, many of their peers complained about how bad they were, but later on, they secretly learned from experience. as the saying goes, there was a lot of trouble when one was popular. as an emerging variety show, idol cultivation, as a new company that had only been established for less than a year, had achieved achievements that many old companies did not. it would definitely attract envy. however, luo feng was not worried that someone would backstab him, because kou zhiyuan had already served as a lesson. he had to punch it open to prevent a hundred punches from coming. luo feng completely dealt with kou zhiyuan as a warning to the other companies. it was fine to compete openly, but as long as he used underhanded means, he would not let him off easily! ¡°how¡¯s the situation on the internet celebrity¡¯s side?¡± luo feng asked again. the contestants and internet celebrities of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ were two different racetracks. currently, internet celebrities are developing rapidly. luo feng only asked occasionally. ¡°very good!¡± benson shouted these two words energetically. ¡°currently, we¡¯ve already signed 30 internet celebrities and they¡¯re all posting content in the microcosm. half of them have already reached a million fans. among them, xiaochun and xiaojin¡¯s accounts have just exceeded 10 million fans.¡± ¡°the first in the entire internet?¡± luo feng raised his eyebrows. ¡°yes!¡± benson nodded vigorously. xiao chun and tang jin¡¯s accounts could be said to be the first internet celebrities to start exporting content. looking at the entire internet, it was difficult for internet celebrities with the number of fans to compare to them. ¡°very good.¡± luo feng snapped his fingers. ¡°increase your salary.¡± ¡°huh?¡± yang tianzhen and benson looked puzzled at the same time. the two of them looked at each other, even more confused about luo feng¡¯s actions. it was not that they did not understand what luo feng meant, but they had never seen such a boss. it was as if the salary increase was his fixed quests that had to be completed every once in a while. otherwise, something terrifying would happen. ¡°okay¡­ okay¡­¡± yang tianzhen agreed first. feeling a little indignant, she asked, ¡°boss, do you have any other instructions?¡± ¡°that¡¯s all,¡± luo feng said. of course, he could tell that yang tianzhen and benson were puzzled. indeed, there was no boss who would raise their employees¡¯ salaries for fun. moreover, with xiaochun and tang jin¡¯s salaries as an example, they received a lot of advertisements and had a higher income than many bosses who started their own businesses. luo feng did not forget to increase their base salary. it was mainly because ai tingya was on leave for the time being. as the stock with the greatest potential that luo feng had invested in, his return had shrunk a lot. fortunately, more than half of the company was under ai tingya¡¯s name, so there was still some stable revenue. luo feng would reflect on himself. with ai tingya, who had unlimited potential, he had been busy for 15 years, but his assets were only a few billion. luo feng recalled the various novels he had read in his previous life. the protagonist could bring the entire village to become rich in half a year and become the richest man with a few operations. luo feng had no choice but to reflect on himself. was he too lazy? as for how he was lazy¡­ luo feng had yet to figure it out. looking at yang tianzhen and benson, who were about to get up and go to work, luo feng stopped them. ¡°don¡¯t be busy first. let me ask you a question.¡± ¡°what?¡± yang tianzhen and benson asked in unison. luo feng cleared his throat and organized his words. he slowly said, ¡°as you know, our company doesn¡¯t lack money, but with the current scale of the entertainment company, to be honest, i think it¡¯s a little small. have i neglected something?¡± he felt that the innovative artist company should be better and more influential than it was now! yang tianzhen and benson looked at each other and hesitated. if it were anyone else, the two of them would definitely be eloquent and speak frankly. they could analyze the boss¡¯s usual behavior from the company¡¯s cleaner¡¯s attitude. the two of them were veterans in this industry. the experience they had accumulated was more than enough to produce a book. however, the person they were facing was luo feng. yang tianzhen and benson did not dare to speak lightly. yang tianzhen was an innovative artist company established with luo feng. according to his thoughts, many of luo feng¡¯s decisions were very hasty, but they still succeeded. later on, yang tianzhen understood that perhaps luo feng¡¯s vision was unique and had already surpassed their era. yang tianzhen felt that she had her limitations and did not dare to speak rashly. luo feng saw the two of them staring at each other and asked suspiciously, ¡°why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± benson shrugged. ¡°boss, we don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to say. your decision has always been very correct. now that you think the company is small, you might have been too hasty.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right.¡± yang tianzhen nodded in agreement. ¡°an established entertainment company like morris has decades of history. they have led different fashion trends in different ten years and have accumulated experience. it¡¯s normal that they can¡¯t compare.¡± in yang tianzhen¡¯s opinion, luo feng was very impressed to be able to manage an entertainment company from scratch to its current level in just over half a year. it could be called a legend in the industry! countless people were secretly analyzing luo feng¡¯s management method, thinking of replicating a successful path. unexpectedly, luo feng was still dissatisfied. hearing yang tianzhen and benson¡¯s rational analysis, luo feng looked dissatisfied. this made the two of them even more uneasy. they shut up and lowered their heads, afraid that they would say something wrong again. luo feng pointed at the place where the two of them had just sat and gestured for them to sit down. then, he sighed and clenched his fists. ¡°it¡¯s not enough! what you said is far from enough! what i want is sharp opinions that can point out my shortcomings and put aside all your past experiences! don¡¯t worry and boldly point out my shortcomings!¡± people who stood on high ground for a long time would often become short-lived. what was worse was that it was very difficult for the person in the center of praise to discover them. luo feng did not want to be a frog at the bottom of a well. he wanted yang tianzhen and benson to explain! Chapter 406 - 406 Correcting The Direction And Letting Go Of Those Integrities! 406 correcting the direction and letting go of those integrities! in their usual interactions, luo feng was a very easy-going person. he never put on the airs of a boss. be it yang tianzhen and benson, who were older than him, or tang jin, who was his age, he was very reliable. sometimes, yang tianzhen would not even treat him as a superior who paid her salary. instead, she would treat him as a friend. now that luo feng¡¯s face was serious and his aura was fully released, he indeed wanted people to point out his shortcomings. yang tianzhen and benson tensed up. they did not dare to be negligent, nor did they dare to quarrel in a straw¡­ they really could not find any flaws in luo feng¡­ the two of them buried their heads in their thoughts and kept scratching their heads. their hair fluttered down like rain. before they scratched themselves bald, luo feng stopped the two of them. ¡°stop deducting. is my question that difficult?¡± yang tianzhen and benson looked at each other and thought to themselves, ¡°do you not have a clear understanding of yourself?¡± ¡°boss, it¡¯s not that we want to suck up to you, but we really can¡¯t find any shortcomings that will affect the company¡¯s development,¡± yang tianzhen said with a bitter smile. luo feng raised his eyebrows, clearly in disbelief. in this world, every person has their flaws. even though he had been reborn, it was impossible for him to change all his flaws. there were definitely flaws that the two of them had not discovered! benson said, ¡°let me put it this way. it depends on a person¡¯s character and ability. your ability will definitely not be a problem. after all, anyone who looks at your resume will be stunned. let¡¯s talk about your personality¡­ character¡­¡± he was like a stuck robot, unable to think of anything else but the last two words. ¡°character¡­¡± benson craned his neck as if he was talking about something shameful. ¡°there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything wrong with his character. his character is also top-notch¡­¡± even after careful analysis, there seemed to be nothing wrong with luo feng! ¡°boss, we realized that you¡¯re really perfect!¡± yang tianzhen said. ¡°you¡¯re almost out of the scope of desire! i don¡¯t see what your dreams are.¡± he recalled that luo feng never cared about the cost of doing business. how was this a normal person¡¯s way of thinking? after interacting with him for so long, yang tianzhen felt that luo feng¡¯s desire for money was very low. he did not feel that luo feng wanted to become famous and was devoted to his wife. the ordinary desires of humans did not seem to be too strong on luo feng. ¡°boss, what is your wish?¡± yang tianzhen asked sincerely. luo feng replied without hesitation, ¡°to freeload.¡± ¡°¡­¡± how refreshing. yang tianzhen smiled awkwardly, clearly not believing him. he was not a fool. luo feng had run up and down for the company and did everything himself. he did not look like he was enjoying the fruits of his labor at all. ¡°boss, can you be more practical?¡± benson smiled. one second, luo feng was still trying to find a way to develop the company. the next second, he said that he wanted to live off a woman the most. no matter how he listened, he felt that it was a joke. seeing that the two of them were not outsiders, luo feng felt that it was not something difficult to say, so he said, ¡°let me put it this way. i¡¯m working so hard for the sake of freeloading in the future. your lady boss is the foundation of the company!¡± this was not an exaggeration at all. luo feng¡¯s first bucket of gold was obtained by investing in ai tingya. without ai tingya, there would be no start-up capital. ¡°your lady boss is really amazing. if not for the fact that i can¡¯t bear to let her be too tired, i really don¡¯t want to run around outside,¡± luo feng patted his thigh and said regretfully. ¡°i want to take advantage of her rest and expand the company. when she takes over again, i¡¯ll give her a surprise. hehe, it¡¯s a little embarrassing to say that.¡± as he spoke, his face was still a little hot. they were already an old married couple. thinking about how ai tingya was waiting for work at home to give birth, luo feng really couldn¡¯t bear to part with her. seeing how the boss was intoxicated as he spoke, yang tianzhen and benson suddenly understood something. their boss didn¡¯t want to live off a woman. he was in the late stages of love and was hopeless! ¡°if this can be considered a flaw, i did find one,¡± yang tianzhen said sincerely. ¡°what?¡± ¡°you¡¯re a romantic.¡± yang tianzhen was not afraid at all. ¡°yes, yes, yes.¡± benson nodded vigorously. ¡°he¡¯s always feeding us dog food.¡± ¡°this is a flaw?¡± luo feng frowned. clearly, it was a little beyond his understanding. yang tianzhen said earnestly, ¡°actually, it can¡¯t be considered a complete shortcoming. it mainly depends on the role of the love brain in life and career¡­¡± some people were willing to die for love and give up their lives for their other half. they also gave up their dignity. some even gave up their parents. living one¡¯s life in a complete mess for the sake of that so-called love. this was very useless and looked down on. luo feng was the opposite. his love brain allowed him to move forward and climb higher. he and ai tingya rushed towards the same direction and met at the peak. to be honest, yang tianzhen and benson were a little envious. they also hoped to have a virtuous wife to advance and retreat with them. it would be best if she was beautiful. ¡°however, since you¡¯ve all said that it¡¯s a flaw, how should i change it?¡± luo feng did not feel that this affected him, but since he had brought it up, there was no harm in listening. ¡°i don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to change.¡± benson looked at yang tianzhen. ¡°it¡¯s pretty good, right?¡± ¡°of course you have to change!¡± yang tianzhen slammed the table and stood up. he secretly gave benson a look. he might as well treat this as an answer and give it to luo feng. otherwise, he would have to find other flaws. the main reason was that they could not find any, so he might as well brush it off. anyway, it would not affect luo feng. luo feng was interested. ¡°tell me about it.¡± yang tianzhen rolled his eyes and said with a smile, ¡°as the saying goes, ¡®if you don¡¯t have a woman in your heart, you¡¯ll naturally be divine when you draw your sword!¡¯ of course, this doesn¡¯t mean that you want to do anything with the lady boss, but¡­ but when you usually work, you must have considered the lady boss¡¯s feelings. for example, you definitely won¡¯t consider some gray-edged matters, boss.¡± ¡°without the lady boss keeping an eye on you, you can completely ignore the details and quickly advance the development of the company!¡± after making up a lie, yang tianzhen peeked at luo feng¡¯s reaction guiltily. he realized that he was really thinking seriously and seemed to believe him. luo feng knew that the method to get rich quickly was written in the law. the ancient saying was that a horse would not grow fat without grass at night. he had always been steady and was not afraid of trouble. yang tianzhen¡¯s words reminded him. it wasn¡¯t that he was going to jump off the edge of the law, but that he could be bold enough to do it! ¡°what you said makes sense!¡± luo feng stood up as if he had been enlightened. ¡°i suddenly have many thoughts. i¡¯ll tell you after i sort them out.¡± yang tianzhen and benson heaved a sigh of relief as they watched him run into the house excitedly. ¡°finally, we got away with it. that was close.¡± yang tianzhen laughed. he did not expect luo feng to really believe him. ¡°but is it okay?¡± benson asked worriedly. ¡°this gray border is not easy to grasp, right? what if the boss goes astray?¡± this employee had brought the boss to the gutter. if word got out, it would be a joke. ¡°don¡¯t worry.¡± yang tianzhen was very confident. ¡°our boss isn¡¯t an ordinary person.¡± Chapter 407 - 407 Preparations Before the Operation, Absorbing Newbies 407 preparations before the operation, absorbing newbies ¡°let¡¯s have a celebration party.¡± this was the first thing luo feng said to yang tianzhen after figuring out the key. yang tianzhen¡¯s first reaction was to take out his phone and flip through the calendar. after comparing it carefully a few times, he frowned and said, ¡°boss, forgive me for being blunt, but why are we celebrating?¡± for the past two months, there were no anniversaries or special achievements. ¡°of course it¡¯s to celebrate the successful conclusion of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯,¡± luo feng said smugly. yang tianzhen scratched his head again and frowned even more deeply. ¡°but boss, there¡¯s still a month before the last episode. isn¡¯t it a little too early to start preparing for the celebration now¡­¡± yang tianzhen was not worried that the variety show would not be successful until the last episode. in other words, she firmly believed that ¡°idol cultivation¡± would be completed successfully. after getting rid of kou zhiyuan, the goddess of luck would lean towards them and everything would go smoothly. the main thing was to start preparing now. if word got out, he would be mocked by the industry. yang tianzhen could not figure out what luo feng was thinking. his gaze drifted to benson, hoping that this colleague would give him a hint. to his disappointment, benson was also dumbfounded. the two of them looked up like students in class, waiting for luo feng to teach them. luo feng sat down and looked like he wanted to have a long chat. ¡°the main point of the celebration banquet is not to celebrate¡­ of course, celebrating the show¡¯s wrap-up is also one of the goals, but i mainly want to interact with everyone in the industry.¡± no one participated in the gathering for food. everyone was here to expand their connections. previously, when luo feng went back, he carefully thought about yang tianzhen¡¯s words. indeed! why did the company have to start with newbies? why couldn¡¯t they just poach them?! he remembered that at this time in his previous life, because the higher-ups had reorganized the entertainment industry, many popular celebrities had conflicts with their management companies. during that period, the trending topics were like flowing water, and they were all headlines that could cause a stir among fans. today, they were facing each other in court. tomorrow, they would expose each other¡¯s explosive news. the liveliness was comparable to the new year. luo feng wanted to take this opportunity to poach a few popular celebrities over to support the company. ¡°i can also create an opportunity for the female team of ¡®idol cultivation¡¯. it can be considered a benefit for our company.¡± luo feng had planned well. he would spend a penny and do two things! ¡°it¡¯s good¡­¡± yang tianzhen wanted to say something but hesitated. after thinking for a while, he said, ¡°but can we invite him?¡± they were in the limelight now, but in an entertainment company, they were just a new company that had yet to gain a foothold. they had just given the senior company an opening gambit, taking someone notch down, establishing an imposing air or advantageous position for oneself. countless companies were eyeing the innovative artist company covetously. ¡°our foundation is still shallow now. many companies are watching us. they probably won¡¯t accept the invitation.¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s voice became softer and softer as she spoke, gradually losing her confidence. ¡°i¡¯ve thought of that too.¡± luo feng was very confident. ¡°i¡¯ll have to trouble the two of you to promote the other companies under tingya. as for chairman xiong and the others, i think he¡¯ll be willing to attend the appointment.¡± ¡°this¡­ isn¡¯t bad.¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s eyes lit up. with someone supporting him, he was not afraid that no one would come. ¡°send the invitation directly to the artists. there¡¯s no need to go through their management company.¡± luo feng smiled and said a series of names that he could think of. yang tianzhen recorded them one by one. when he typed the last word, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. luo feng¡¯s appetite had to be said to be terrifying. the people he named were all popular front-line celebrities. they received a sky-high salary of tens of millions. normal small gatherings would not even give them a look. this made yang tianzhen lose her confidence. could he invite these difficult masters? luo feng seemed to have seen through his thoughts and smiled. ¡°just send the invitation. don¡¯t worry about anything else.¡± when yang tianzhen heard this, he felt a lump in his throat. there was probably no better boss in this world than luo feng! when he first entered the industry, it was not that he had not received difficult quests. he had to complete them with all his might with a casual sentence. if he did not meet his boss¡¯ expectations, he would be scolded. he had to be a huge scapegoat all with a meager salary. ever since he followed luo feng, these worries instantly disappeared. luo feng would never push the blame. he basically paved the road. he would not give his employees any problems and would do whatever they had. the salary was high, the responsibility was light, and the boss was amiable. he had gathered all the expectations of the workers! yang tianzhen felt that she was tired of expressing her loyalty, but she still couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°boss, don¡¯t worry. i¡¯ll definitely complete it perfectly!¡± ¡°alright.¡± luo feng nodded. ¡°thank you for your hard work.¡± ¡°then i¡¯ll also¡­¡± benson was about to help when luo feng stopped him. ¡°it¡¯s not difficult to get an invitation. old yang can do it alone. i have other missions for you.¡± luo feng revealed a sly smile. benson immediately understood and took the initiative to move his ear closer. his expression changed with luo feng¡¯s words, sometimes surprised and sometimes amused. in the end, luo feng patted his shoulder. ¡°i understand, boss.¡± benson¡¯s smile became even more wretched. ¡°i guarantee it will be done!¡± luo feng mobilized the entire company. while ai tingya was recuperating, luo feng worked non-stop. ever since he awakened an eye that could see people¡¯s potential, luo feng had been focused on ai tingya and did not maximize its use. during this period of freedom, other than arranging jobs, most of luo feng¡¯s experiences were invested in high-risk businesses with high investment and high returns. luo feng was very good at judging people. after being reborn, he could accurately grasp the direction of development, so he earned a lot. actually, to luo feng himself, he was not short of money. the investment returns over the past few years could not be spent in a few lifetimes. the reason why he quickly invested and took the returns was mainly to create some fame. moreover, with chairman xiong accompanying him during this period of time, luo feng had given him some pointers on a few profitable projects. chairman xiong had once boasted that he had a sharp eye for people and was right about investments. however, ever since he worked with luo feng, chairman xiong had truly seen what it meant to hit the nail on the head. in just a month, luo feng had become the god of investment. his plans were flawless. coupled with chairman xiong¡¯s publicity and praise of everyone, luo feng¡¯s name became even more famous. almost all the invitations sent in his name received responses. yang tianzhen was shocked countless times. he knew that with luo feng¡¯s decisiveness and foresight, he would be able to achieve great things no matter what industry he was in. it was purely fate that brought him to the entertainment industry. yang tianzhen worked very hard, recalling luo feng¡¯s kindness to him. he often worked overtime until three or four o¡¯clock and slept for two to three hours a day. during this busy month, ¡®idol cultivation¡¯ ended perfectly, and a five-member girl group was formed. it became the target of the company¡¯s main support in the future, and the gala held in the name of celebration also arrived as scheduled! Chapter 408 - 408 Luo Fengs Status In The Family Falls Day By Day 408 luo feng¡¯s status in the family falls day by day in shanghai¡¯s dragon dream hotel. a ferrari was parked in front of the hotel. the door opened by itself before the bell boy could step forward. ai zhaojiang got out of the backseat. his face was full of worry as he kept looking into the car. ¡°tingya, just let luo feng go to such an event. there¡¯s no need for you to accompany him,¡± ai zhaojiang said to ai tingya, who was on the other side. ¡°that¡¯s right, tingya.¡± mother luo sat in the front passenger seat and turned around to say to tingya, ¡°you¡¯re wearing seven to eight centimeters high heels and your skirt is very long. it won¡¯t be good if you fall.¡± during this period of time, mother luo and ai zhaojiang could be said to be the two guardians of ai tingya. one on the left and one on the right, bending to every whim of ai tingya. even if ai tingya did not show any obvious signs of early pregnancy, the two of them would treat it as a pre-contact and feel more confident of the future. ¡°grandpa, mom, don¡¯t worry.¡± ai tingya was helpless and touched. ¡°just treat it as coming out to relieve your boredom. i¡¯ll be careful too.¡± she gave them a ¡°relaxed¡± smile, opened the car door, and got out. she was wearing a tube top dress and a suit jacket. she looked like a beautiful goddess who had descended. the bell boys at the door were stunned, and the passersby also looked over. ¡°but¡­¡± mother luo was still a little worried. she also got out of the car and walked around to ai tingya¡¯s side. she pulled her aside and said, ¡°i think professor ai is right. leave these work to xiao feng. he has nothing to do at home all day anyway. you don¡¯t have to feel sorry for him. this is what he should do.¡± hearing this, ai tingya smiled and happened to meet luo feng¡¯s resentful gaze. what was going on? he had organized a banquet and was wearing a well-ironed suit. even his hair had been specially styled. however, he had no choice but to be a driver because professor ai and mother luo wanted to follow them. he was still despised for not working hard after that. ¡°hey, hey, hey.¡± luo feng could not help but protest. ¡°i¡¯m not idle. i¡¯m just short of flying to work during this period of time. aren¡¯t you guys being too blatantly biased?!¡± ai zhaojiang and mother luo pretended not to hear anything and threw luo feng an expression that said, ¡°don¡¯t interrupt.¡± alright then¡­ luo feng knew that he could not afford to offend them, so he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. he put on an obedient expression and advised, ¡°don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll take good care of tingya.¡± ¡°this time, i¡¯ll take it as bringing her out to be grounded. it¡¯s easy for problems to arise if she stays at home all the time.¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry. she just needs to eat, drink, and chat. there¡¯s no other hard work to complete. just don¡¯t worry.¡± luo feng felt wronged. his family¡¯s status was too low. he had no choice but to take a detour to save the country and persuade the two elders. ai zhaojiang and mother luo looked at luo feng in disbelief. they were already at the entrance of the hotel, so it was impossible for them to go back just like that. however, the elders were still worried and liked to nag. ¡°then take good care of tingya,¡± mother luo said reluctantly. ¡°we¡¯re just going to the opening celebration banquet. it¡¯s not a tiger or wolf den,¡± luo feng said. mother luo nodded and said to ai tingya, ¡°tingya, rest if you¡¯re tired. don¡¯t let yourself suffer. when it¡¯s over, professor ai and i will come and pick you up. remember to call.¡± ¡°alright, thank you, mom. you guys should go back quickly.¡± ai tingya patted mother luo¡¯s hand and personally helped the two elders into the car. ¡°be careful on the road.¡± after finally coaxing the two of them away, luo feng¡¯s image of being sensible immediately collapsed. he pursed his lips and said unhappily, ¡°my status in the family has been declining day by day ever since they came.¡± ai tingya said calmly, ¡°i don¡¯t think it has been high in the first place.¡± ¡°you think so too, right!¡± luo feng almost lost it. ¡°i¡¯m a boss outside after all. why are they like this!¡± not only did they steal his space to care about ai tingya, they also mocked him for no reason. luo feng felt bitter. ¡°it¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine.¡± ai tingya hugged luo feng and patted his back gently like she was coaxing a child. ¡°it¡¯s fine. they¡¯re just joking with you.¡± ¡°yes.¡± luo feng rubbed against ai tingya¡¯s ear. the pleasant fragrance enveloped him, and the indignation in his heart immediately decreased by more than half. ¡°ahem!¡± the bell boy at the door couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and made a sound. he had seen couples showing off their affection in public before. it was a hotel, a place for drinking and eating. there were often men and women walking and flirting, waiting to flirt. they stood at the door and waited. he had seen all kinds of intimate actions, but he pretended not to see them. however, these two were too eye-catching. it was impossible to pretend to be blind. ¡°do the two of you have an appointment?¡± the waiter asked, looking down to avoid looking directly at the two of them who were blinded. luo feng announced the name of the banquet hall and followed the bell boy in. they attracted the attention of many people the moment they entered the hotel. many people had arrived in advance to prepare for tonight¡¯s celebratory banquet. it was especially lively. luo feng¡¯s invitation list included the big bosses of popular celebrities and people in shanghai, so the hotel¡¯s appearance tonight was especially outstanding. looking over, there were many handsome men and beautiful women. unfortunately, in terms of looks, they were slightly inferior to luo feng and ai tingya. the two of them walked through the hall arm in arm. they walked out of the red carpet without the aura of a red carpet. ¡°hey, brother luo!¡± a familiar voice came from behind. luo feng turned around and saw chairman xiong in a suit jogging over. he waved happily. ¡°perfect. let¡¯s go in together,¡± chairman xiong said. some time ago, the two of them had worked together to invest. chairman xiong had earned a lot of money with luo feng. in fact, to him, that money was just icing on the cake, making him richer. it was not to the extent of shocking. however, luo feng¡¯s taste in investing was too vicious. no matter how high the risk was, he could withdraw in time and earn a lot of money before leaving. chairman xiong had no choice but to believe in certain metaphysics. some people were born to invest. he had invested in everything with luo feng, so their relationship had become much closer. after chairman xiong greeted him, he immediately noticed ai tingya, who was beside luo feng. he had seen ai tingya emcee on television before. later on, he heard that it was a pity that ai tingya had quit ¡®idol cultivation¡¯. this was the first time he had observed ai tingya up close. her beauty seemed to be magnified, and chairman xiong was mesmerized by it. ¡°hello, chairman xiong.¡± ai tingya extended her hand and said, ¡°thank you for taking care of luo feng during this period of time.¡± ¡°hahaha, i¡¯m in his care¡­¡± chairman xiong, who had come back to his senses, realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly shook his hand. then, he walked to luo feng¡¯s side and distanced himself from ai tingya. he has to know his limits when it comes to his friend¡¯s wife. the three of them followed the waiter upstairs. chairman xiong said, ¡°sister-in-law, this must be your first time attending such an event.¡± ¡°yes.¡± ai tingya nodded. ¡°i¡¯ll have to ask you, chairman xiong if there¡¯s anything that i don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°oh, please don¡¯t be so polite.¡± chairman xiong was flattered. ¡°but i can tell you something in advance.¡± ¡°guard brother luo. don¡¯t go too far away from him.¡± Chapter 409 - 409 The Difficulty Of A Small Actress, Taking An Ungraceful Path 409 the difficulty of a small actress, taking an ungraceful path in the banquet hall. bernice was wearing a dark purple silk dress, standing under the crystal lamp. the special material of the dress reflected different colors under the light. coupled with the fact that purple itself was very eye-catching, anyone who entered the banquet hall would notice bernice at first glance. no one spoke to bernice even though she held a lot of attention. the others gathered in groups of twos and threes, smiling and chatting happily. only bernice was alone and looked out of place. there was no other reason except that bernice was an unknown c-list or d-list celebrity. her most outstanding works were the passerby beauties who did not have any lines in the popular dramas. her acting skills were average, her looks were average, and she had no background or resources. it was quite difficult for bernice to struggle in the entertainment industry. from being full of anticipation when she first entered the industry to enduring humiliation and burden now, bernice was willing to do anything as long as she could be chosen by the big boss. ¡°look at her. why is she standing there?¡± penny¡¯s voice came from the group chat a meter away. bernice pretended not to hear, but she deliberately puffed out her chest, stuck out her butt, and tried to make her figure more prominently hourglass-like. ¡°pfft!¡± a merciless sneer came from the other end. ¡°look at what she¡¯s doing. is she performing a cabaret show? hahahaha.¡± ¡°it¡¯s too much of a hindrance to stand in the middle of the road. don¡¯t tell me you think you¡¯re beautiful.¡± ¡°do you know her?¡± ¡°i can tell by looking at her cheap dress that she shouldn¡¯t be out here. how could i possibly know her?¡± the discussion had no intention of hiding it. bernice saw the two actresses mocking her from the corner of her eye. just by looking at their faces, she could remember their names. this was because there was a popular ancient drama where these two played the third female lead and the female lead¡¯s maidservant. their characters were not bad, and their personas were very good. the two actresses relied on this drama to attract a lot of fans. they must have been officially invited. ¡°hey, what are you doing?¡± a wavy woman in a designer suit walked up to bernice. bernice could ignore naked ridicule but she was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw this woman. she immediately covered her chest and lowered her head, not daring to look at her. seeing this, the woman rolled her eyes at bernice and tugged at bernice¡¯s dress in disdain. ¡°you rushed over with a bright rag. are you not embarrassed enough standing under the light? i really shouldn¡¯t have brought you here!¡± the woman¡¯s name was zhao yanqiao. she was from the same company as bernice and was also a popular singer supported by the company. she was always on a comedic variety show. with her straightforward personality, she was very popular with young people. logically speaking, with bernice¡¯s status, she was not fated to attend the banquet. however, other than being an actress, she was also zhao yanqiao¡¯s errand girl which was why she was willing to bring her along. ¡°i accidentally got separated. i thought you should be able to see me standing here,¡± bernice explained. zhao yanqiao glared at her and looked around. she realized that many people were looking at them with unfriendly smiles. ¡°change your clothes. you¡¯ve embarrassed the company!¡± zhao yanqiao suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth. bernice nodded slightly and avoided zhao yanqiao. as soon as she left zhao yanqiao¡¯s sight, bernice immediately revealed a disdainful expression. she didn¡¯t have a big brand endorsement and couldn¡¯t afford a decent gown. of course she knew that this purple dress was too tacky but she had no choice! ¡°if i can¡¯t even endure this little difficulty, how can i survive in the entertainment industry?!¡± bernice encouraged herself. tonight, she had to find a backer! she was willing to pay any price, even if it was her body! suddenly, bernice noticed an unexpected figure. luo feng! he was a hot topic in the industry. he had made a name for himself as a good boss and did not hesitate to offend the director and the senior company for the sake of his employees! bernice did not expect luo feng to be so much more handsome in person than in the photo! and he was alone at this moment! this was a little strange. this celebration banquet was organized by luo feng after all. he was the undisputed protagonist tonight. when it was time to socialize, there was actually no one beside him! bernice realized that this was a great opportunity. if she could jump ship to luo feng¡¯s company, she would not be as desperate as she was now. moreover¡­ bernice looked down at her figure. the thin and soft fabric was against her skin, outlining her curves. one could even see some details if she moved skillfully. just as zhao yanqiao had said, this bold and embarrassing dress was not suitable for the theme of the banquet, but one could not deny that it was hot. men were visual animals and would definitely be attracted. bernice raised her chest and sashayed towards luo feng. at this moment, luo feng had yet to realize that he had already been targeted by someone. he leaned against the wall and stared at the gentle smiley face in the crowd. ai tingya was surrounded by five debuting contestants. they held hands and had an endless chat. many people surrounded ai tingya to greet her because they knew that she was the lady boss of the innovative artist company and she was also very beautiful. this created an opportunity for luo feng to take a break. he stood in a corner with his back against the wall as he watched his tingya glow in the crowd. ¡°hello.¡± a delicate female voice reached luo feng¡¯s ears. he turned his head and saw an unfamiliar girl dressed very eye-catchingly looking at him with shy eyes. she pursed her lips and was looking at him affectionately. luo feng stood up and took half a step back to distance himself from the person. ¡°hello,¡± luo feng said calmly. ¡°what a wonderful gathering.¡± bernice sighed. she was full of flattery. after praising him, she introduced herself. ¡°my name is bernice.¡± ¡°my name is luo feng,¡± luo feng said. ¡°all of the banquet halls here look like this. i think it¡¯s not bad.¡± after the introduction, luo feng turned to look at ai tingya. even though there were many celebrities attending the banquet, luo feng still liked to look at ai tingya the most. seeing this, bernice pretended not to see that luo feng had no desire to talk and continued to move forward. ¡°i¡¯ve long heard of president luo¡¯s reputation. i¡¯m really touched to see you in person today!¡± ¡°yes,¡± luo feng replied indifferently. ¡°by the way, president luo, do you have any other plans tonight? i have something to ask you.¡± bernice hugged luo feng¡¯s arm and squeezed her voluptuous chest. the soft touch made luo feng¡¯s hair stand on end. he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. good lord, it had always been normal for him to brave the entertainment industry for so long. he did not expect to encounter the legendary rule today¡ªasking for the unspoken rules! bernice¡¯s attitude and words were so ambiguous. she blinked her watery eyes as if there was a hook in them. she bit her lips lightly with her white teeth and was about to approach him in the next second. luo feng was not feeling well and only wanted to hide far away. he didn¡¯t want to lose his integrity. besides, this girl couldn¡¯t compare to ai tingya in any way. how could she dare to come out and show her face! Chapter 410 - 410 Pestering, Dont Come Over! 410 pestering, don¡¯t come over! luo feng retreated step by step, trying to maintain a social distance from bernice. bernice puffed out her chest and wanted to stick to luo feng. the two of them dodged and chased each other like they were playing hide-and-seek. ¡°alright.¡± luo feng was a little unhappy. ¡°i don¡¯t have anything for you to ask. after the banquet ends, i have to go home with my wife. i¡¯m not free.¡± luo feng pointed at the crowd, indicating that his wife was there and asking bernice to show some respect. bernice looked over and immediately noticed the most eye-catching person in the crowd. she was very beautiful. in the entertainment industry where beauties were everywhere, she was also the king of looks. she had a good figure and a good temperament. she did not put on any airs when chatting with others. how stupid must she be to want to compete with her? bernice was distracted for a moment. she automatically became a normal looking girl just by standing with ai tingya. she knew that she could not compare to ai tingya at all. but so what? in the entertainment industry, there were many beautiful wives and husbands who had affairs. in this circle where privacy was worthless, the lives of celebrities¡¯ families were closely watched. every time a celebrity¡¯s marriage was exposed, netizens who were watching the commotion would always compare the first wife with the third party. countless netizens had the same question¡ªwas he blind! bernice admitted that her hardware was not as good as ai tingya¡¯s, but she was not inferior to anyone in terms of sweetness and persistence! she had to find a backer today no matter what! ¡°don¡¯t be shy, president luo. it¡¯s just a simple chat.¡± bernice blinked at luo feng with a pitiful and delicate look. luo feng¡¯s hair stood on end as he tried his best to push bernice away. however, bernice was wearing skimpy clothes. if he was not careful, he would touch her exposed skin. luo feng felt like he was facing a moving piece of charcoal. he could not touch it or avoid it. he looked around and realized that many people seemed to be staring at him. this made luo feng restrain his violent emotions. he could have lost his temper and pushed bernice away, but in that case, both of them would be very embarrassed. even though bernice was very annoying and had caused trouble for luo feng, he could not bear to embarrass a girl, so he could only keep hiding. ¡°d*mn it.¡± luo feng looked in ai tingya¡¯s direction. this woman would probably only give up if he walked to ai tingya¡¯s side. after finding a solution, luo feng turned around and quickly walked towards the crowd. ¡°aiya!¡± bernice pouted and fell on luo feng. ¡°aiya, i sprained my ankle. it hurts.¡± bernice wrapped herself around luo feng like a vine and kept climbing up, putting all her weight on him. ¡°i¡¯ll help you sit there.¡± luo feng suppressed his temper and dragged bernice towards the chair. originally, with his physical fitness, he could easily lift a girl who was less than 50 kilograms. however, bernice twisted her body and did not cooperate at all, causing luo feng to find it difficult to support her. ¡°don¡¯t, president luo. just let me lean on you.¡± bernice was coy and happy that she had succeeded. this was because the commotion here had already attracted the attention of the entire venue. most people looked at the two people stuck together in surprise, including ai tingya. ¡°boss is being pestered!¡± ah shuang said to ai tingya. after experiencing everything, ah shuang was already familiar with the tricks of the entertainment industry. she could successfully debut and become a member of the female group because of luo feng¡¯s help. therefore, she absolutely trusted luo feng¡¯s character. ah shuang quickly told ai tingya the truth that she had deduced, worried that she would misunderstand. ¡°how dare she have designs on our boss? i¡¯ll go meet her!¡± lin yuanyuan was determined to protect his boss¡¯s reputation. she had won the fans¡¯ love with her exquisite appearance. at such a time, she needed to rub the newcomer¡¯s spirit! ai tingya didn¡¯t care. she pulled her back and said, ¡°don¡¯t bother about your boss. he¡¯s not a child.¡± then, ai tingya looked in another direction and raised her chin. ¡°that¡¯s a famous music producer. aren¡¯t you guys going to have a chat?¡± ¡°huh?¡± the five girls scratched their heads, not understanding ai tingya¡¯s actions. it was obvious that the girl pestering luo feng had ulterior motives after all. moreover, it was in front of ai tingya! she was obviously too arrogant to be dancing in front of the main character. it was obvious that she was a real piece of work. luo feng did not say harsh words to a girl out of etiquette. of course, they, who were also girls, had to go and help in this situation. ai tingya didn¡¯t take it to heart at all. on the other side, luo feng had already summoned the waiters in the banquet hall and asked them to help pull bernice away. however, bernice was like a plaster, hugging luo feng¡¯s neck and not letting go. it was chaotic. when the surrounding people saw this, they could not help but start to gossip. ¡°what¡¯s going on? what¡¯s the relationship between that woman and president luo?¡± ¡°don¡¯t ask and don¡¯t talk. this isn¡¯t for us to know.¡± ¡°look, president luo¡¯s wife is also watching. her husband can still be so calm when he¡¯s in another woman¡¯s arms. could it be¡­¡± ¡°don¡¯t make wild guesses! every family has its own difficulties.¡± everyone was very considerate and tried their best to suppress their curiosity. they only gossiped secretly. ¡°but lady boss, look, everyone else has misunderstood.¡± ah shuang could not bear it. if her husband or boyfriend was pestered by another girl in public, they might be furious on the spot and give each of them a slap. how could ai tingya be so calm? ¡°that¡¯s enough.¡± lin yuanyuan pulled ah shuang and said softly, ¡°the lady boss has her own considerations. let¡¯s not interfere.¡± another girl guessed, ¡°could it be that their relationship is in danger?¡± facing ah shuang¡¯s reproachful gaze, the girl realized that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth. ah shuang said, ¡°how is that possible! the boss and the lady boss are the most compatible team i¡¯ve ever seen. there can¡¯t be any problems with them even if the world is destroyed!¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes!¡± the other three girls had the same thought. luo feng and ai tingya were simply the embodiment of ideal love. they would not allow anyone to slander them. ¡°but it¡¯s really strange¡­¡± the woman who guessed muttered aggrievedly. she turned her head and secretly observed ai tingya¡¯s actions. she realized that luo feng could no longer suppress the commotion and was about to start arguing. ai tingya was unmoved. instead, she was maintaining order and apologizing for the trouble the commotion had caused the guests. the tension was measured and very appropriate. it was not only ah shuang and the others. the other guests also pretended not to care, but they were actually waiting to see how luo feng and ai tingya would handle it. ¡°enough!¡± luo feng said angrily. ¡°if you continue to be so unreasonable, i can only get someone to invite you out!¡± this was the first time he was so angry ever since he was reborn. he had no choice but to embarrass the other party! ¡°president luo¡­¡± bernice¡¯s eyes were watery. she looked innocent and weak as if she was the one being bullied. luo feng¡¯s expression changed, and he became even angrier! Chapter 411 - Chapter 411 I Know You. No One Trusts You More Than Me chapter 411 i know you. no one trusts you more than me ¡°drag her out!¡± luo feng was completely furious. ¡°in the future, you¡¯re not allowed to participate in any banquet i organize!¡± it seemed to be a vague sentence, but everyone present knew how serious it was. with luo feng¡¯s current status in the industry, the banquet he organized invited first- and second-tier big shots. it was a height that some small actors could not come into contact with in their entire lives. luo feng¡¯s actions undoubtedly made it impossible for bernice to make a comeback. the entertainment industry was a personal circle after all. soon, the news that bernice had offended luo feng would spread throughout the streets. no one would take the initiative to invite an ordinary actress with no background or advantage. only then did bernice realize the seriousness of the situation. she struggled twice and her arms were grabbed even tighter by the waiter. she hurriedly shouted, ¡°no, president luo! i was wrong!¡± luo feng waved his hand and gestured for the waiter to quickly bring her out. he did not want to look at this woman again. ¡°president luo! president luo!¡± bernice shouted desperately, her screams attracting more people. seeing this, the waiter quickly covered her mouth and sped up to drag her out. luo feng¡¯s expression was still ugly. he took a deep breath and said to the guests who were watching the show, ¡°i¡¯m really sorry for making a fool of myself.¡± ¡°no, no.¡± ¡°people like that happen all the time.¡± ¡°i wonder who brought her in. how low-class.¡± ¡°president luo has suffered. thank you, president luo, for helping us screen a person with no morals.¡± the surrounding people surrounded luo feng and comforted him. everything resumed at the banquet venue. luo feng felt tired. after thanking everyone, he looked up and found ai tingya. at this moment, she was talking to an actress. luo feng remembered that that person¡¯s name was zhao yanqiao. her acting skills were not bad, and her potential was considered average. she had the potential to become popular. luo feng was far away and could not hear what zhao yanqiao was saying to ai tingya. from her expression, she seemed to be feeling very uncomfortable. ai tingya listened quietly with a faint smile and nodded. ¡°tingya.¡± luo feng¡¯s face darkened as he said to zhao yanqiao, ¡°i have something to say to my wife. is it convenient?¡± zhao yanqiao was so frightened that her soul almost left her body. she took two small steps back and lowered her head, not daring to speak. luo feng looked at her in confusion, wondering if he was that scary. why was she so scared? he subconsciously looked at ai tingya, his eyes asking if he had done something wrong. ai tingya smiled and held luo feng¡¯s arm. she gently leaned on luo feng¡¯s shoulder with a satisfied smile on her face. many guests who were quietly paying attention saw that the couple was deeply in love and were not affected by the farce just now. they knew that there was no need to continue pursuing this gossip. luo feng was pulled down to the balcony and was still thinking about zhao yanqiao. ¡°who is that person?¡± ai tingya revealed a sly smile. ¡°the girl who pestered you just now was brought in by zhao yanqiao.¡± hearing this, luo feng frowned. with such a huge commotion just now, someone naturally had to be responsible. zhao yanqiao bypassed luo feng and ran to look for ai tingya. this attitude of admitting her mistake made luo feng unhappy. ¡°don¡¯t be angry.¡± ai tingya raised her hand and rubbed luo feng¡¯s glabella. her soft fingers rubbed away the wrinkles. luo feng felt that he was really useless. ai tingya¡¯s words dispelled most of the unhappiness in his heart. however, he did not want to let this girl off so easily. luo feng pretended to be angry and said, ¡°your man is being pestered, but you didn¡¯t even come to help me. aren¡¯t you afraid that i¡¯ll run away with someone?¡± ¡°i¡¯m not afraid.¡± ai tingya wrapped her arms around luo feng¡¯s neck confidently. ¡°i know you love me the most. they¡¯re all worried that you won¡¯t seduce me, but i understand that you won¡¯t.¡± ¡°that might not be the case.¡± luo feng put his hands in his pockets and packed them. ¡°many beauties gave me their contact details just now. my model is very popular. i advise you to protect it.¡± ¡°tsk, go ahead.¡± ai tingya was not afraid at all. their gazes met, and they smiled in an unspoken mutual understanding. luo feng knew that along the way, there was no better girl than ai tingya. when their souls fused, all secular temptations became laughable. therefore, even in the entertainment industry, which was filled with lust and temptation, ai tingya was not worried that luo feng would be defeated by temptation. only the two of them knew how much they loved and trusted each other. ¡°alright, stop being clingy. it¡¯s time to go back and entertain the guests. there¡¯s still serious business to announce.¡± ai tingya nestled in luo feng¡¯s arms and reminded him softly, but she had no intention of letting go of him. ¡°i want to go back too, but someone is hugging me and refusing to let go,¡± luo feng said proudly. ¡°hmph.¡± ai tingya rubbed against luo feng¡¯s chest like a kitten, wanting to cover the excess fragrance on luo feng¡¯s body. love includes possession. ai tingya only wanted luo feng to only have her scent on him. the two of them stood on the balcony and whispered to each other. they did not notice that there were many more gazes in the banquet hall. ¡°i¡¯m so envious of their relationship. they won¡¯t be affected by the outside world at all.¡± a female celebrity who was married to an artist in the industry had her eyes full of blessings. in the past, she was also a little girl who believed in the innocence of love. she risked offending her fans and married the person she liked. however, life after marriage was not going well. due to all kinds of suspicions and misunderstandings, the two of them eventually fell out and did not interact with each other anymore. however, now that she saw two lovers embracing so tightly, the female celebrity thought that if she had been as determined as them back then, would it have ended differently? ¡°i will believe in love again.¡± ¡°it¡¯s really as the rumors say. these two¡¯s love is stronger than gold.¡± ¡°they are simply the representative of model love. it¡¯s not too much to take a photo, right?¡± the guests were very happy to eat dog food. it was as if luo feng and ai tingya¡¯s happiness had been transmitted to them. some of them even took out their phones and secretly took two photos. with this background, this appearance, and this happiness that was about to overflow from the screen, it was too suitable to be a screensaver. ¡°it¡¯s like a love between gods.¡± ah shuang couldn¡¯t help but secretly take a photo. ¡°i want to use this photo as an amulet and bless me to find such a love in the future!¡± the other four girls¡¯ ears twitched slightly. they took out their phones in unison and took photos of luo feng and ai tingya. they took a photo from every angle. the more photos they took, the stronger the protection! ¡°look, look, look. my photo looks good, right? look, the corners of the lady boss¡¯s mouth are just right.¡± ¡°my picture is prettier!¡± ¡°if you want to choose wallpaper, of course my wallpaper is just the right size.¡± when the five girls gathered together, they were competing to see who could take the better photos. they did not notice that luo feng was already standing behind them. ¡°alright, you guys are secretly taking photos while we are not looking, eh?¡± luo feng caught a person on the spot. ¡°show me the photos.¡± Chapter 413 - 413 The Plan Goes Smoothly, Welcome To Jump Ship 413 the plan goes smoothly, welcome to jump ship ai tingya stood outside the crowd and watched every move in the crowd while luo feng was speaking on stage. she realized that many people immediately understood what luo feng meant. some of them looked a little hesitant, while others looked around to look in the opposite direction. there were not many people who acted immediately like elektra and her best friend. hence, ai tingya naturally had to give her a chance at the right time. ¡°hello, how can i help you?¡± ai tingya smiled. when she was suddenly stopped by someone, her best friend felt guilty as if she had been caught red-handed. she took two steps back. when she saw that it was president luo¡¯s wife, her best friend felt relieved again. it seemed that she did not misunderstand. ¡°hello.¡± her best friend tidied her hair. ¡°i¡¯m a little tired from standing. i want to find a place to sit.¡± ¡°this way, please,¡± ai tingya said. the two of them slowly distanced themselves from the crowd with an unspoken mutual understanding. ¡°speaking of which, your skin texture is so good. it¡¯s even tenderer than a peeled egg.¡± her best friend complimented her, but it was actually what she was thinking. ¡°can i add you as a friend? i want to ask you about skin care methods.¡± ¡°sure.¡± ai tingya took out her phone and showed her a qr code. her best friend was overjoyed and scanned it. when she saw the profile picture clearly, her best friend smiled even more happily. the account avatar was a selfie of yang tianzhen. her online name was ¡°quite a weight loss blogger¡¯s manager.¡± ¡°thank you.¡± her best friend put away her phone. ¡°just ask him if you have any questions.¡± ai tingya bowed slightly. ¡°i wish you a pleasant evening.¡± after a few words, the two of them returned to their seats. ai tingya was still looking for someone who needed ¡°help.¡± her best friend returned to elektra¡¯s side and made an ¡°ok¡± gesture. she showed elektra the results of her labor. ¡°it¡¯s indeed what we thought. we can talk soon.¡± ¡°that¡¯s great.¡± elektra held her phone as if it was a treasure. ¡°i can finally get rid of that annoying boss!¡± in the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet hall, many people revealed expressions similar to elektra¡¯s, as if they had found a treasure, but most of them were anxious and regretful. luo feng stood on the stage and saw everything clearly. most people signed contracts with companies for five or ten years. many of them had just started. it was obviously impossible to jump ship immediately. luo feng had no intention of interfering. he had helped xiaochun and the others pay the penalty because they were incapable of paying themselves. the people in the banquet hall were different. they had already made a lot of money and could pay the price if they really wanted to join the innovative artist company. soon, the banquet ended. luo feng and ai tingya stood at the door and bade farewell to the guests one after another. when the banquet hall was empty, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. ai tingya kicked off her high heels and sat down to rub her sore ankle. ¡°i haven¡¯t stood for so long in a long time. i¡¯m so tired.¡± after luo feng vaguely expressed his goal, ai tingya kept running around the venue and exchanging chatting methods with interested people. she completed three days of exercise in one night. seeing this, luo feng squatted in front of her and gently raised ai tingya¡¯s foot to place it on his leg. he massaged her ankle skillfully. ¡°sigh.¡± ai tingya felt that it was not good to be in public and hurriedly wanted to retract her foot. luo feng held her feet and did not give her a chance. he smiled and said, ¡°didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re not feeling well? i¡¯ll massage you.¡± ai tingya looked around. there was no one around, but she was still shy. she blushed and said, ¡°it¡¯s dirty. it¡¯s not good if someone sees us. let go of me quickly.¡± ¡°no.¡± luo feng¡¯s hand caressed every inch of ai tingya¡¯s skin. the pressure was just right. shyness and comfort mixed together. ai tingya bit her lip and looked at luo feng affectionately. after 10 minutes, ai tingya held luo feng¡¯s hand and said, ¡°alright, let¡¯s go back quickly. otherwise, grandpa and mom will nag again.¡± luo feng recalled that the two parents had even set a curfew for them and smiled helplessly. just as ai tingya was about to get up, luo feng happened to get up and carried the limp ai tingya on his back. then, he grabbed ai tingya¡¯s legs from both sides and carried her on his back. the sudden weightlessness made ai tingya instinctively hug luo feng¡¯s neck, and the two of them clung to each other. ¡°put me down. what would i look like if someone saw me?¡± ai tingya swung her legs and found it quite interesting. ¡°i¡¯m wearing a dress today.¡± ¡°i¡¯ve checked it. it won¡¯t be exposed,¡± luo feng said. ¡°hold me obediently. otherwise, i won¡¯t care if you fall.¡± he used the tone of coaxing a child. ai tingya had no choice but to hug luo feng and bury her face in his shoulder. just like that, luo feng carried ai tingya along the corridor and passed through the lobby. the hotel waiters were used to it and were all busy with their own matters. the two of them seemed to have a unique silence that belonged to each other. the noisy crowd would definitely not affect them. when she reached the door, her family¡¯s car was parked there. mother luo sat in the driver¡¯s seat, and professor ai sat in the front passenger seat. the two of them were like parents picking up their children from school, their eyes fixed on the entrance without moving. when they saw luo feng carrying ai tingya out, their expressions darkened. ai zhaojiang unbuckled her seatbelt and ran down. ¡°tingya, what¡¯s wrong? are you injured?¡± mother luo pulled the two of them and looked left and right. she said anxiously, ¡°did you sprain your ankle? i told you not to wear such high heels. aiya.¡± the two of them were so anxious that ai tingya, who was only tired, was too embarrassed to look up. ¡°she was too tired and fell asleep,¡± luo feng said. he chuckled. he originally wanted to show that he was very reliable, but he received questioning looks from ai zhaojiang and mother luo. luo feng¡¯s smile froze on his face. then, he heard his mother say, ¡°little feng, didn¡¯t we tell you before you left? don¡¯t let tingya be too tired.¡± ¡°er¡­ yeah¡­¡± luo feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ai zhaojiang¡¯s heart ached. ¡°she¡¯s so tired that she fell asleep. let¡¯s go home first.¡± ¡°grandpa is right!¡± luo feng hurriedly replied. if he didn¡¯t leave quickly, he would be reprimanded again. the four of them got into the car. luo feng sat in the back. ai tingya leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes without moving. ¡°i almost got scolded again,¡± luo feng muttered softly for ai tingya to hear. the corners of ai tingya¡¯s lips curled up imperceptibly. she did not open her eyes or speak. since luo feng said that she was asleep, she was sleeping soundly now. ¡°say something.¡± luo feng shook it gently. ¡°don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re really asleep.¡± he lowered his head and looked at the little girl¡¯s mischievous lips. she was secretly gloating when she heard that he was being scolded. ¡°alright, i¡¯ll teach you a lesson when i get back,¡± luo feng said softly. ¡°xiao feng!¡± mother luo, who was driving, said in a low voice, ¡°what are you whispering about? don¡¯t disturb tingya!¡± ai zhaojiang, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, also looked at him reproachfully. fine! luo feng accepted his fate. in any case, he was at the bottom of the food chain in this family! Chapter 414 - 414 Would It Be Convenient To Speak Face To Face With An International Female Star? 414 would it be convenient to speak face to face with an international female star? luo feng carried ai tingya into the bedroom and closed the door as soon as they returned home. ai zhaojiang and mother luo¡¯s lives were very regular. when they came back, they tidied up a little and went back to their rooms to sleep. the villa was very spacious. even though they both lived on the first floor, luo feng and ai tingya¡¯s rooms were at the innermost area. be it ai zhaojiang or mother luo¡¯s bedroom, they were very far from them. luo feng had also considered the situation of living with his family early in the morning and added a soundproof wall when he renovated. it would not affect the people in the other rooms even if heavy metal music was played in the room. luo feng walked to ai tingya¡¯s side and sat down after the room fell completely silent. ¡°still not awake?¡± luo feng said to the person pretending to be asleep. ai tingya opened her eyes and looked around warily. after confirming that she and luo feng were the only ones in the room, she sat up. ¡°hahaha, it¡¯s been hard on you just now.¡± ¡°tsk.¡± luo feng pinched ai tingya¡¯s exquisite nose. ¡°little traitor, you¡¯re indifferent to me being scolded.¡± ¡°hehe.¡± ai tingya knew that she was in the wrong and only wanted to watch the show. she hugged luo feng ingratiatingly and ran into the bathroom. after washing up simply, ai tingya opened the door and was about to go out when someone suddenly picked her up in the air. luo feng threw her onto the bed and impatiently took off his coat. ¡°it¡¯s time to pay the price. i won¡¯t stop even if you cry.¡± ai tingya¡¯s heart raced seeing luo feng¡¯s charming muscles. however, her rationality made her raise her elbow and resist luo feng¡¯s kiss. ¡°go wash up first. you smell like alcohol.¡± ¡°i washed up just now.¡± luo feng held her hand and pressed it on the bed. ¡°i went out to wash it.¡± this was the advantage of having a big house. he didn¡¯t have to wait to use the bathroom. luo feng bent down and steadied ai tingya¡¯s lips that were still wet. ai tingya, who had put on makeup, was like a rose blooming under the scorching sun. without her decorations, she was like a lotus flower emerging from clear water. each of them had their own beauty. he would be captivated no matter how many times he looked at her. the atmosphere in the room was charming, and there was the sound of ambiguous water. then, ai tingya moaned softly. in the end, it was too intense. ai tingya did not suppress her cries and hugged luo feng, begging for mercy. even though he had said that he would not stop even if ai tingya cried, when he heard her confused tone, luo feng still slowed down and comforted ai tingya with a gentle kiss. only when luo feng was satisfied did he let go of ai tingya and carry her into the bathroom to wash up. after packing up, luo feng carried ai tingya and lay down. he realized that she had already fallen asleep from exhaustion. ¡°sigh, i didn¡¯t want you to be too tired.¡± luo feng hugged ai tingya and smelled the fragrance on her body. then, he smiled smugly. ¡°but you know that i have a mission on my shoulders, so i can only trouble you.¡± as for the mission¡­ of course, it was to become pregnant. ¡­ after the celebration banquet ended, the innovative artist company became busy again. before the girl group debuted, the staffing of the company was relatively simple. it was mainly because at that time, the main business was internet celebrities, such as the ¡°xiaochun and xiaojin¡± account, which had a separate team. most of the matters of the other companies were handled by luo feng, yang tianzhen, and benson. luo feng had played a decisive role but yang tianzhen did the most work and almost died of exhaustion. when he was too busy, luo feng would transfer people from ting feng¡¯s company. even though they could all complete the work, it was still a little chaotic. if not for their reputation, the innovative artist company would be more like a black workshop. just as the celebratory banquet was about to be held, luo feng decided to start recruiting and gather all the staff members from various positions. every department had their own duties. with more people, the office space would have to be expanded. coincidentally, the entire floor above the studio was in rental mode. luo feng spent 300,000 yuan a year to rent it for three years. because he had done it in a hurry, the equipment was changed as he used it. yang tianzhen¡¯s domain knowledge became the highlight after everything was prepared. there were many celebrities who called to ask about the contract. every 10 minutes or so, a call would come in. ¡°boss, boss!¡± yang tianzhen recorded the general information of the electrician. she could not contain her excitement. ¡°do you know who called just now?¡± ¡°who?¡± luo feng turned his head and asked. ¡°scarlett johnson!¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s voice was as excited as a chirping bird. ¡°she¡¯s in shanghai too?¡± luo feng was slightly surprised. scarlett started as a child star and was known as the ¡°sexiest woman of the century¡±. she had a perfect figure comparable to marilyn¡¯s, and her beautiful face had both classical and modern beauty. she was both an actress and a singer, and she was a talented female star who had developed both. the movie ¡°the girl who lost her pearl earrings¡± had a box office of more than two billion yuan. it could be said to be a classic. such a world-class celebrity actually took the initiative to look for him. luo feng clearly remembered that scarlett was not at the celebration banquet. ¡°did you send her an invitation?¡± luo feng asked yang tianzhen. ¡°hmm¡­ i don¡¯t think so¡­¡± yang tianzhen was unsure. ¡°the main targets of the invitation were local celebrities. scarlett¡¯s target market is still overseas. she¡¯s not part of the plan.¡± luo feng felt that it made sense. if he was an employee and heard his boss say that he wanted to treat a celebrity to a meal, he would definitely not dare to send an invitation to the richest man in the world. ¡°did you hear wrongly? could it be a prank?¡± luo feng asked suspiciously. ¡°how is that possible! how could i have misheard scarlett¡¯s voice?!¡± yang tianzhen had an expression that said, ¡°why are you suspecting my professional judgment?¡± scarlett¡¯s voice was very unique. she had once won the newcomer award for dubbing an anime. even if yang tianzhen was deaf, he would not mistake scarlett¡¯s voice. ¡°that¡¯s strange.¡± luo feng pinched his chin. ¡°and it¡¯s a call from the person herself.¡± many celebrities¡¯ managers were trained by themselves. if they resigned from their management companies, they would take their managers with them to facilitate future work exchanges. for a big star like scarlett, it was unlikely that she did not have an assistant. the more unbelievable it was, the more it seemed like a scam. luo feng asked, ¡°did she say anything?¡± yang tianzhen replied, ¡°she said that she¡¯s interested in signing with our company and hopes to talk to us face to face.¡± thinking about it, the person who was willing to take the initiative to meet offline shouldn¡¯t be a liar. ¡°when?¡± luo feng asked again. ¡°i haven¡¯t made an appointment yet.¡± yang tianzhen looked at the timetable. ¡°but she said she can do it anytime. she¡¯s been free recently.¡± hearing this, luo feng frowned and took a few deep breaths. it didn¡¯t sound like the work schedule of a big star at all. moreover, if scarlett were to terminate her contract with her old boss, it would be the best piece of news for the entertainment industry. why was there no news at all? ¡°boss, do you want to take a look?¡± yang tianzhen was full of anticipation. needless to say, he was definitely scarlett¡¯s fan! ¡°let¡¯s meet her. i also want to know if she¡¯s the real scarlett,¡± luo feng said. Chapter 415 - 415 A Mothers Nagging, I Only Want You to Be Healthy and Safe 415 a mother¡¯s nagging, i only want you to be healthy and safe ¡°make an appointment now and see when it¡¯s convenient for her,¡± luo feng said. yang tianzhen stopped luo feng seeing how he was about to leave after assigning the mission. ¡°boss, scarlett said that she only has one request. she hopes that the person she¡¯s talking to is the lady boss.¡± ¡°tingya?¡± luo feng stopped. ¡°what¡¯s the reason?¡± ¡°she didn¡¯t say.¡± yang tianzhen pointed at the computer and said, ¡°but i can roughly guess the reason.¡± luo feng walked over and leaned over to check. yang tianzhen found scarlett¡¯s news. it was released a month ago. at that time, the entire company was busy with ¡°idol cultivation¡± and did not pay much attention to the entertainment news. it was around that time that scarlett was exposed by the paparazzi as having an affair. it was said that when scarlett¡¯s relationship was exposed, her fans had left comments on her social media account, advising her not to be with that man and hoping that she would focus on her career. they had said a lot of caring words about her. but scarlett did not take it to heart. furthermore, she no longer hid the relationship especially after it was exposed. she often went out with her partner and openly showed her love in public. she was no longer afraid of the paparazzi¡¯s cameras. scarlett¡¯s love affair almost dominated the headlines, and the complaints of her fans grew louder and louder. scarlett, who had always doted on her fans, rarely turned a blind eye to these voices. ¡°i heard that because of the dating incident, a large number of fans have left the fandom. scarlett¡¯s career has also been affected and several resources have been snatched away by others,¡± yang tianzhen explained. if that was the case, it would explain why scarlett had taken the initiative to contact him. the best way to eliminate the negative effects was to remain silent and reduce exposure and topicality. soon, it would be covered by new hot topics. perhaps it was because scarlett¡¯s career was the first, so she wanted to take advantage of her free time to test the waters in another market. ¡°celebrities like scarlett have a lot of autonomy,¡± yang tianzhen explained. ¡°maybe it¡¯s because she wants to give it a try, or maybe it¡¯s because she¡¯s here to take a break.¡± faced with his idol, even yang tianzhen had no choice but to lower himself to consider things. luo feng looked at his useless appearance and said, ¡°then i¡¯ll go with tingya. tell me when you have an appointment.¡± ¡°boss!¡± yang tianzhen furrowed her brows and clenched her fists pitifully. ¡°can i go with the lady boss?¡± how many chances did he have to talk about work with his idol face-to-face? ¡°i¡¯m begging you, boss. i really like scarlett!¡± yang tianzhen looked at luo feng sincerely. ¡°alright, as long as it doesn¡¯t affect your judgment,¡± luo feng said. he was mainly worried that this scarlett was a fake. ¡°don¡¯t worry, boss!¡± yang tianzhen immediately perked up and said ambitiously, ¡°i know scarlett better than she does! i can tell at a glance whether she¡¯s real or not!¡± ¡°hmm¡­¡± luo feng caught a glimpse of yang tianzhen¡¯s computer wallpaper. it was actually scarlett. it was very troublesome to have fans. afraid that yang tianzhen would be bewitched, luo feng thought for a moment and said, ¡°i¡¯ll go with you and listen to what you guys have to say.¡± ¡°alright, i¡¯ll call scarlett,¡± yang tianzhen said. ¡°¡­thank you for your hard work.¡± luo feng smiled bitterly. if it was the usual yang tianzhen, he would definitely follow luo feng¡¯s orders unconditionally and say that he would fight for it. however, that was no more the case with his idol now. luo feng said helplessly, ¡°i don¡¯t have to meet her face to face¡­ don¡¯t ask her about it. i¡¯ll just observe from the side. just don¡¯t expose me.¡± ¡°no problem!¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s eyes were filled with stars. it was obvious that he was no longer listening to luo feng. yang tianzhen would contact him when they met, and luo feng would go home first. when mother luo and ai zhaojiang heard that luo feng wanted ai tingya to get busy with work again, they were ¡°unhappy¡±. ¡°we only found out how unhealthy tingya is when we arrived. she needs to rest now,¡± mother luo said. ai tingya often stayed up late and ate irregularly, being busy with company matters. the two of them were people with ideas and goals. ai tingya worked even harder in order not to drag luo feng down. when he was a student, it was not easy for luo feng to feed the malnourished ai tingya to this standard. ai tingya ate less and did more after she started working. all kinds of small ailments emerged endlessly. mother luo brought ai tingya to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup not long after she arrived in shanghai. she brought back a lot of books one day. since ai tingya was recuperating at home, she didn¡¯t work or worry. she ate three meals regularly. in the morning, she went out with mother luo to buy groceries. in the afternoon, she went out with ai zhaojiang to play chess and exercise. the appropriate exercise made her look much better. ¡°tingya doesn¡¯t grow fat. it wasn¡¯t easy for her to become stronger. don¡¯t tire her out and make her thinner.¡± mother luo was extremely worried. ¡°it¡¯s not a difficult job,¡± luo feng said sadly. ¡°i don¡¯t want tingya to be so tired, but only she can complete this job.¡± he was already used to the double standards of the elders. sometimes, his heart ached for ai tingya. he was worried that she would tire herself out. luo feng had eaten pills that strengthened his physique. he only needed to rest a little to maintain sufficient mental strength and there were no side effects. he was also very happy that mother luo and ai zhaojiang could persuade ai tingya to rest. however, luo feng was more concerned about ai tingya¡¯s psychological needs than the two elders. ai tingya could not tolerate staying at home to eat, drink, and have fun. she needed to prove her work so that she could be at ease. ¡°mom, it¡¯s nothing. we¡¯re just going to have a chat,¡± ai tingya advised. ¡°it¡¯s not a difficult job.¡± ¡°xiao feng is too much. he can just go by himself for such a small matter.¡± mother luo held ai tingya¡¯s hand, her eyes filled with heartache. ¡°mom, aren¡¯t you protecting tingya too well? she¡¯s an adult and can make her own decisions.¡± luo feng was helpless. ¡°hmph.¡± mother luo snorted proudly. ¡°no matter how old you are, you¡¯re still children in the eyes of our parents.¡± ¡°yes, yes. when is dinner?¡± luo feng held his hungry stomach. ¡°i¡¯m hungry.¡± ai zhaojiang said, ¡°let¡¯s talk while we eat.¡± at the dining table, mother luo was still a little against it. she didn¡¯t want ai tingya to get involved in too many things. ¡°women¡¯s emotions are very important. if you overthink, you¡¯ll be sad. if you¡¯re angry, it¡¯ll hurt your breast. tingya, if you don¡¯t want to go, then don¡¯t. it¡¯s good to be carefree,¡± mother luo said. she felt that the two children had earned more money than they could spend in several lifetimes. the most important thing now was to take care of their bodies. recently, she had studied a lot of chinese medicine and felt that life was full of pitfalls. in her eyes, the lifestyle of young people nowadays was simply a slow suicide! she had to nag more and hope that they would listen. ¡°look at how worried you are just going out once.¡± luo feng laughed. ¡°we¡¯ll go out at noon and be back at night. don¡¯t worry for nothing.¡± Chapter 416 - 416 Meeting The Miserable Female Star 416 meeting the miserable female star after mother luo came to shanghai, she had a lot of free time. when she was free, she would read books on chinese medicine and nutrition. after learning new knowledge, she wanted to share it with others. usually, it was not enough to discuss it with ai zhaojiang. when luo feng returned, she also wanted to chat with him. at the dining table, ai zhaojiang and luo feng ate as they listened. ai tingya held her bowl and listened to mother luo seriously. when she felt that what mother luo said made sense, she would nod and even forget to eat. ¡°the food is getting cold.¡± luo feng patted ai tingya. ¡°mom likes to nag. eat your food.¡± ¡°mother luo was unhappy when she heard this. ¡°rascal, do you know that if a family wants to be happy, there have to be three voices?¡± ¡°the first is the sound of noisy children, which proves that the house is filled with children and grandchildren, and the second is the sound of clattering pots and pans, which proves that the kitchen is busy and someone is cooking at home. the third is the sound of family members nagging, which proves that someone cares about you, brat?¡± mother luo felt that luo feng definitely didn¡¯t understand. she turned to ask ai tingya, ¡°tingya, do you understand?¡± ai tingya nodded deeply. ¡°yes, i feel very happy now!¡± she looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes. with her family by her side, there were still people who cared about her health. if it were her from a few years ago, she probably wouldn¡¯t even dare to think about it. ¡°look, look. tingya is the most sensible.¡± mother luo was overjoyed. ¡°she¡¯s not like xiao feng, who¡¯s so stubborn every day.¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes.¡± luo feng smiled helplessly. while mother luo went to the kitchen to get the soup, luo feng quietly said to ai tingya, ¡°bring father over tomorrow. if he¡¯s around, my mother¡¯s attention will be on him. hahaha.¡± ¡°speaking of which, dad should be very lonely at home alone.¡± ai tingya realized. mother luo and ai zhaojiang came to shanghai mainly to take care of her, so they left father luo alone in their hometown. they felt that they had let him down. ¡°no, my mother isn¡¯t at home. he spends all day with his old brothers and is very free,¡± luo feng said. ¡°no one knows how to live alone better than him.¡± ¡°daddy is actually so interesting. hahaha.¡± ai tingya laughed. the atmosphere at the dining table was very good, so when luo feng mentioned that he was going to bring ai tingya out tomorrow, mother luo did not stop him. she only reminded the two of them not to be too tired. ¡­ the next day, luo feng brought ai tingya to yang tianzhen¡¯s building. usually, yang tianzhen would either stay in the studio or in a farmhouse. luo feng only found out about yang tianzhen¡¯s home address in the middle of the night last night. ¡°old yang said to wait for him downstairs.¡± luo feng sent a message to yang tianzhen to go downstairs. ¡°how strange.¡± ai tingya leaned out of the car window. ¡°this neighborhood looks so old.¡± not only did she find yang tianzhen¡¯s place strange, yang tianzhen had never taken the initiative to let luo feng pick him up before. after waiting for 15 minutes, no one came down. ai tingya looked at the time and said, ¡°it¡¯s a little abnormal. manager yang has never been late in the past.¡± however, luo feng seemed to have seen through everything. ¡°you¡¯ll understand when you see him.¡± he flashed another call to urge her again. a few minutes later, a greasy-haired man in a suit rushed out of the corridor and got into the back seat of the car. ¡°manager yang?¡± ai tingya exclaimed. ¡°you¡¯re so handsome today!¡± ¡°hehe, thank you, lady boss.¡± yang tianzhen shook her head proudly, but his hair, which was covered in hair gel, did not move at all. yang tianzhen had dressed up from head to toe. as soon as he sat down, the car was filled with the fragrance of cedar. his clothes were flat without any excess creases, and his leather shoes were polished to the extent that they could be used as a mirror. ¡°you¡¯re going on a date?¡± luo feng teased. yang tianzhen licked his lips and turned his head shyly to look out of the window. ¡°of course i have to tidy myself up when i see my idol.¡± ai tingya immediately understood what luo feng meant and smiled. ¡°so you like scarlett. am i disturbing you?¡± ¡°boss, madam, don¡¯t laugh at me.¡± yang tianzhen pretended to be serious and said, ¡°let¡¯s go before scarlett gets impatient.¡± the agreed place was a private recuperation home. facing the river and leaning against the mountain, the surroundings were quiet and the environment was very good. stepping on the soft green grass, the hustle and bustle of the city was instantly forgotten. luo feng had originally thought that they would meet at a cafe or restaurant. he did not expect it to be a private manor. ¡°i¡¯ll be your bodyguard.¡± luo feng asked the staff of the recuperation center for a mask, wanting to reduce his presence. when the staff of the recuperation center heard the intentions of the three of them, they brought them to a riverbank. there were three beige camp tents with sets of small brown tables and chairs. on each table were cups and water bottles, as well as a few small books. a breeze blew past. a woman in a patchwork knitted dress had her back to the three of them. she had a book by her side. ¡°miss scarlett has instructed that you can go over directly.¡± the staff left after saying that. according to scarlett¡¯s request, ai tingya and yang tianzhen went up to her. luo feng chose a table and chair at the back and sat down. he could hear their voices. after a simple self-introduction, ai tingya and yang tianzhen sat down and prepared to talk officially. however, scarlett was not very interested. her answer was vague, as if she had lost her soul. her eyes were gray, as if they were covered with a layer of gauze. she looked very dispirited. ¡°miss scarlett, are you feeling unwell?¡± ai tingya asked with concern. ¡°do i look terrible?¡± scarlett held her beautiful face looking very pitiful. ¡°you¡¯re even more beautiful than in the photo,¡± ai tingya said with a smile. ¡°it¡¯s just that your spirit doesn¡¯t look too good.¡± ¡°sigh.¡± scarlett let out a long and sorrowful sigh, feeling even more dispirited. ¡°are you sick?¡± yang tianzhen was extremely nervous. he leaned forward unconsciously and was about to climb onto the table. ai tingya quickly held him down. when she saw his pitiful expression, she couldn¡¯t bear it. ¡°if you encounter any difficulties here, you can tell us. of course, as long as you¡¯re willing,¡± ai tingya said. ¡°we¡¯ll definitely do our best to help you.¡± luo feng had always known that she was a kind girl. ai tingya was even willing to lend a helping hand to a stranger she had just met. scarlett was touched by her words. she stopped looking at the river and turned to stare at ai tingya. silence. the conversation fell into an awkward silence. seeing this, luo feng could not help but want to go up and smooth things over. as soon as his butt left the stool, he heard scarlett say faintly, ¡°do you believe in love?¡± ¡°?¡± luo feng frowned. was this a line from some movie? the question came so suddenly that luo feng and yang tianzhen almost couldn¡¯t control their expressions. ¡°i do,¡± ai tingya replied easily. ¡°i believe in love and carry out everything through my love.¡± scarlett supported her chin with one hand and leaned against the small table. ¡°it¡¯s so good to be young. unlike me, i can¡¯t fall in love anymore.¡± Chapter 417 - 417 Scarlett Cant Control Her Emotions And Hasnt Emerged From Her Character? 417 scarlett can¡¯t control her emotions and hasn¡¯t emerged from her character? the conversation did not go well. scarlett did not seem to care much about work. she spent the rest of her time staring at the river in a daze after asking a question about love. no matter how patient ai tingya was, she could not figure out scarlett¡¯s temperament and did not know how to deal with it. celebrities in the entertainment industry were known for their eccentric tempers. ai tingya did not know if scarlett was one of them. she then looked at yang tianzhen and asked for his help. ¡°it¡¯s alright, lady boss.¡± yang tianzhen lowered her voice. ¡°maybe it¡¯s because she hasn¡¯t emerged from her character yet. many actors have this period of time. yang tianzhen was very confident in his answer. he remembered that scarlett¡¯s previous work was about a silly girl who was obsessed with love. even though her character was terrible, scarlett¡¯s superb acting skills had added a lot of color to the character. yang tianzhen naturally treated this question of love as her being still immersed in that character. ¡°i see.¡± ai tingya nodded quietly. she picked up the flower tea on the table and took a sip. following scarlett¡¯s line of sight, she looked at the sparkling water surface. two beautiful women sat on both sides of the small table and looked at the same stream of water. the warm morning sun shone on them, and the flower tea beside them emitted a warm fragrance. it was a beautiful painting. yang tianzhen gripped the phone in his pocket, wanting to record this beautiful scene. however, considering that it was not good to secretly take photos, he forcefully resisted the urge to record it. luo feng, who was behind, seemed to be unscrupulous. he took a photo of ai tingya. he could taste different beauty from the same angle and photo. every photo was very precious. ¡°my tingya is really beautiful.¡± luo feng admired the photo and was unsatisfied. ¡°the atmosphere is also suitable.¡± the four of them were thinking about their own matters, and time passed slowly like a river. when the tea in the cup was empty, ai tingya picked up the teapot and refilled her cup. she saw that scarlett¡¯s teacup was also half empty and helped her fill it up. at this moment, scarlett, who had been silent all this while, said, ¡°thank you.¡± ¡°you¡¯re welcome.¡± ai tingya put down the teapot and started looking at the river again. this action attracted scarlett¡¯s attention. scarlett had already come into contact with several entertainment companies before contacting innovative artist. she was also by the river, entertaining them at this table. just like today, she was staring at the river in a daze. no one calmed down to accompany her in a daze. there were only impatient questions and anger from being offended. scarlett did not call them over to make fun of them, but for some reason, she had forgotten how to communicate normally with others. when she did not know what to do, she would not do anything. scarlett¡¯s habitual thinking was like that and she had offended many people because of it. only ai tingya sat quietly with her. it was clearly the first time they had met, but they were like old friends with an unspoken mutual understanding. scarlett felt very comfortable interacting with ai tingya and could not help but take the initiative to talk to her. ¡°what are you looking at?¡± scarlett asked. ¡°i¡¯m looking at the water,¡± ai tingya answered innocently. ¡°is water that pretty?¡± scarlett asked again. ¡°it¡¯s beautiful. the sun is swaying small waves on the waters and there are birds flying past. it¡¯s very beautiful,¡± ai tingya said with a smile. people with rich hearts could always capture the beauty of life. ai tingya was such a person. scarlett stared at ai tingya¡¯s smile, deep in thought. she took a sip of tea and refilled her cup. then, she raised the teapot and poured a little more for ai tingya. ¡°thank you.¡± ai tingya held the cup that was about to overflow with water. her expression was a little strange. to them, pouring tea for a guest meant to chase them away, because the tea would spill when it was filled and was inconvenient for the guest to drink. it was a kind of neglect. however, she thought that scarlett was a foreigner and should not know about this. ¡°hello, my name is scarlett.¡± scarlett extended her hand and formally introduced herself. ¡°hello, miss scarlett. my name is ai tingya.¡± ai tingya heaved a sigh of relief and entered work mode. ¡°i know you.¡± scarlett smiled and said, ¡°i¡¯ve watched ¡®idol cultivation¡¯. you were the emcee in it. i thought you were a professional emcee.¡± almost the entire program was presented in front of the audience because ¡°idol cultivation¡± was a full-time live broadcast. the reason why ai tingya left the show was very official. if someone wanted to find out, they would definitely be able to find the real reason¡ªluo feng had asked ai tingya to leave the show, so she had left. ¡°thank you for your approval,¡± ai tingya said happily. ¡°why did you give up on the emcee industry just because of that man¡¯s words?¡± scarlett was suddenly a little excited. ai tingya couldn¡¯t keep up. ¡°no, being an emcee isn¡¯t my job. i actually¡­¡± ¡°trust my judgment, you¡¯re very suitable to be an emcee!¡± scarlett looked like she expected better from someone. ¡°don¡¯t be fooled by men¡¯s sweet words. they love to trick outstanding women into not being outstanding anymore!¡± ¡°you might have mistaken¡­¡± ¡°the next time a man asks you to give up your career for him, slap him! don¡¯t be fooled by him!¡± as expected of an actress, scarlett¡¯s every word was full of pain and sorrow, allowing ai tingya to pry into her past. ai tingya couldn¡¯t ask further. she could only say, ¡°actually, my man is quite good. he has never lied to me.¡± ¡°no!¡± scarlett stood up. her teacup was overturned and the water was all over the table. ¡°any man with a mouth will lie! they should have their tongues pulled out!¡± this sudden aura stunned ai tingya and yang tianzhen. the three of them forgot to clean up the water on the table and let it drip down the table to the ground. seeing this, luo feng, who was across the table, sent ai tingya a message. ¡°ask her if she¡¯s been deceived.¡± ai tingya came back to her senses and looked at her phone. she blinked hesitantly. in fact, she had wanted to ask scarlett about it just now. she tried her best to divert the conversation to other topics considering that scarlett¡¯s privacy was rather sensitive. however, scarlett¡¯s reaction was too intense. weren¡¯t they here to talk about work today? why did they suddenly start talking about men? ai tingya looked in luo feng¡¯s direction and saw that his eyes were firm. ¡°trust me.¡± ai tingya seemed to hear luo feng¡¯s voice. these three words seemed to have a demonic curse. ai tingya believed luo feng unconditionally whenever he spoke. ¡°miss scarlett¡­¡± ai tingya took a deep breath and said with a proper attitude, ¡°have you been hurt before?¡± her tone was very serious, and she had no intention of prying into her privacy. scarlett was stunned for a moment and her rapid breathing slowed down. then, right on the heels of that, she fell back onto the chair as if someone had taken her spine away. ¡°boohoo¡­¡± a sobbing sigh came from her hands that were covering her face. yang tianzhen poked his head out worriedly. ¡°miss scarlett, are you alright?¡± why was she suddenly crying? Chapter 418 - 418 Sisters! Im Here to Care About You And Save You! 418 sisters! i¡¯m here to care about you and save you! scarlett¡¯s emotions fluctuated too much. one second, she was impassionedly advising her sisters. the next second, she let out a weak cry. yang tianzhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan facing his idol¡¯s tears. he took out a tissue and handed it to scarlett, only to be glared at angrily. ¡°get old yang to come over. you can talk to her alone.¡± luo feng sent another message to ai tingya. ai tingya nodded obediently and said a few words to yang tianzhen, asking him to go to luo feng¡¯s side first. yang tianzhen did not understand what luo feng meant, but he obeyed luo feng¡¯s arrangements. he sat at another table with a worried expression and looked at ai tingya and scarlett worriedly. ¡°is it really alright? scarlett seems to be in a very unstable mood.¡± yang tianzhen said worriedly, ¡°she looks like she needs a psychiatrist.¡± ¡°it¡¯s best if we go further away on this occasion. leave it to tingya,¡± luo feng said. from where he was sitting, he could hear ai tingya¡¯s conversation clearly. from scarlett¡¯s words, he knew that she was very hostile to men and had already attacked them indiscriminately. if yang tianzhen sat there and scarlett would not let down her guard even when the sky turned dark. in addition, scarlett had asked ai tingya to come and discuss work, which meant that she knew ai tingya and had a good impression of her. ¡°what do you mean? the lady boss has studied psychology before?¡± yang tianzhen asked in confusion. ¡°women are more empathetic. look over there.¡± luo feng raised his chin. ai tingya moved a stool to sit beside scarlett. yang tianzhen was glared at when he offered her the tissue yet she had obediently accepted ai tingya¡¯s tissue. while luo feng and yang tianzhen were talking, scarlett had already burst into tears. other than a few more lines of tears, her face was as beautiful as ever. there was no excess makeup on her face. ¡°are you feeling better?¡± ai tingya took a tissue and gently wiped scarlett¡¯s tears away. her eyes were filled with pity and tenderness. ¡°if there¡¯s anything uncomfortable, you can tell me.¡± scarlett held ai tingya¡¯s hands and suddenly lost control of her emotions. ¡°he lied to me so badly. i love him so much. why did he lie to me!¡± before coming here, ai tingya had heard about scarlett¡¯s situation. yang tianzhen emphasized that the opportunity to meet her this time might be scarlett¡¯s first creation because of her relationship career. from the looks of it, scarlett¡¯s career was not the only one that had suffered a huge blow. that person seemed to be in control of the gate. at the mention of him, scarlett¡¯s emotions and tears were like a flood that could not be stopped. ai tingya did not try to dissuade her. she just accompanied scarlett quietly, wiping away her tears with a tissue in one hand and patting scarlett¡¯s back gently with the other, waiting for her to vent. ¡°boohoo! boohoo! i¡­ i broke the hearts of my fans. i gave up my career for him. he¡¯s a liar!¡± scarlett kept sobbing and complained vaguely. ¡°he betrayed me and even mocked me. he went too far! he really went too far!¡± ai tingya turned around and took a deep breath. her eyes couldn¡¯t help but turn red. ¡°men are all liars!¡± scarlett suddenly raised her head again. ¡°without exception!¡± ai tingya did not retort. she wiped scarlett¡¯s tears and asked, ¡°does it feel better now that you have cried?¡± ¡°yes.¡± scarlett nodded undeniably. ¡°much better.¡± she touched her chest. the feeling of congestion had disappeared, and she felt much better. ¡°forget the person who¡¯s unworthy. you still have your own life.¡± ai tingya softened her voice. ¡°you still have your fans, don¡¯t you? they¡¯ve been waiting for your new work.¡± ¡°alright.¡± scarlett wiped away her tears. ¡°i¡¯m willing to work with your company.¡± ¡°huh?¡± not to mention ai tingya, even luo feng and yang tianzhen could not react in time. she agreed after crying? that¡¯s a little sloppy. ai tingya said, ¡°have you thought about it? our company¡­¡± before she could explain the details, scarlett interrupted her and said, ¡°i can be popular anywhere, so it doesn¡¯t matter who i sign with.¡± ¡°as expected of my idol! she¡¯s recovered!¡± yang tianzhen¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration, like a young girl who had just fallen in love. luo feng smiled. he saw that even though scarlett¡¯s potential index was slightly inferior to ai tingya¡¯s, it was still at the maximum level. scarlett was not exaggerating at all. as long as she did not court death, she would be famous for a long time. luo feng liked this confidence. ¡°miss scarlett, i still think you should get to know us better,¡± ai tingya persuaded. even though her mission today was to sign a contract with scarlett, she had to rely on her eloquence and ability to speak. she could not let scarlett enter the company in such a muddle-headed manner. ¡°i understand very well. other than you, your company is doing well,¡± scarlett said. she had seen all kinds of news about innovative artists, and almost all of them were positive reports. she knew that the boss of this company was very humane, had a high salary and good treatment, and took good care of the employees and artists under him. scarlett had always had a good impression of luo feng until she found out that her boss and ai tingya were a couple! her impression of luo feng instantly fell to rock bottom. ¡°what¡¯s wrong with me?¡± ai tingya asked. ¡°ai, please allow me to call you that. your problem is huge! no, it¡¯s more like your lover¡¯s problem!¡± scarlett raised her voice, as if this matter was very serious. ai tingya was still at a loss. in her heart, luo feng had always been the perfect partner. she knew that she had never seen anyone gentler than luo feng among the people she had seen. scarlett looked at ai tingya¡¯s innocent eyes and knew that she was still immersed in the love cage woven by men. it was time for this beautiful bird to spread its wings and see the outside world! ¡°why did he ask you to leave ¡®idol cultivation¡¯?¡± scarlett asked in an interrogative tone. ¡°we¡¯re going home to get pregnant. we¡¯re going to have a baby.¡± ¡°no!!!¡± scarlett looked up at the sky and howled. ¡°despicable! he¡¯s obstructing your progress. he wants to use children to tie you down! he wants to strip you of your survival skills and trap you in a cement room. don¡¯t have children. go pursue your dreams and your future. do you understand?¡± there was too much information. after ai tingya sorted it out, she understood that scarlett was worried that she would be cheated. ¡°no, luo feng won¡¯t lie to me,¡± ai tingya said with a smile. scarlett smiled gloomily and said, ¡°i¡¯ve said the same thing before¡­¡± ¡°how pitiful!¡± ai tingya could not help but hug scarlett. she was clearly injured, but she still came all the way to shanghai to save her. no wonder so many fans liked her. ¡°thank you for your concern. i can understand your concerns,¡± ai tingya said cheerfully. ¡°but luo feng is different from others.¡± ¡°i once said the same thing¡­¡± ¡°he¡¯s fine. i know him well.¡± ¡°i once said the same thing¡­¡± the more ai tingya explained, the more scarlett felt that luo feng was a scumbag, the more it made her even more certain that all men¡¯s sweet words were similar! Chapter 420 - 420 Good News Comes One After Another, The Prepared Gift 420 good news comes one after another, the prepared gift ¡°if one of you wants to see me, both of you must appear at the same time!¡± scarlett said firmly. ¡°this way, i can leave all my activities in shanghai to you!¡± ¡°this condition¡­¡± ai tingya did not understand scarlett¡¯s intentions. ¡°can i ask for the reason?¡± scarlett¡¯s conditions were too strange and ai tingya had never heard of them before. ¡°there¡¯s no other reason. i just like to see the two of you standing together. it¡¯s pleasing to the eye!¡± scarlett revealed an expectant smile. why did idol dramas choose handsome men and beautiful women? because beautiful appearances brought with them a dreamy feeling that was detached from reality. a ¡°good-looking¡± person could obtain more favoritism. scarlett liked good-looking people. she was worried that ai tingya would be deceived by a scumbag because she was good-looking. she would also try to change her prejudice against luo feng because he was good-looking. just because scarlett was a person who valued looks, she was easily deceived by handsome men and scumbags. even though it was tragic, scarlett would be able to forget her affliction and troubles as long as there were new handsome men and beautiful women in front of her. the conditions were not difficult, but it might not go as smoothly as she thought. ai tingya thought for a moment and said, ¡°i might have to discuss this with luo feng.¡± ¡°alright!¡± scarlett agreed immediately. scarlett poured out the remaining cold water in her teacup and prepared to refill her cup with her good mood. the hand that was holding the teacup stopped. the steam from the teacup hit her face, forming a layer of hazy filter. scarlett saw the handsome man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes walk to ai tingya¡¯s side and smile at her. ¡°this is luo feng, my lover,¡± ai tingya introduced. ¡°this is miss scarlett.¡± ¡°hello.¡± luo feng reached out and shook scarlett¡¯s hand. when scarlett snapped out of her daze, she exclaimed loudly, ¡°oh my god! so you¡¯ve been here all along!¡± just now, she was so focused on her sorrow that she did not notice anyone else around her. if she had known that there was such a well-matched couple, she wouldn¡¯t have been sad. she would have just signed the contract. scarlett did not have any other hobbies. she just liked to look at real life good-looking couples. they were a real couple. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, miss scarlett.¡± luo feng was a little apologetic. ¡°because you specified that you wanted to see my wife, i could only protect her from the side.¡± ¡°it¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright.¡± scarlett suddenly became cheerful. ¡°i¡¯m sure you heard what i said just now. if you can satisfy my conditions, i¡¯ll sign the contract.¡± with scarlett¡¯s current financial value, contracting an innovative artist was equivalent to hiring a buddha statue made of real gold from a dilapidated temple. the company should be accommodating to her. moreover, it was not a tricky condition to begin with. she was confident that she would succeed. luo feng said calmly, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, but i can¡¯t agree to this condition.¡± ¡°hm?¡± ¡°huh?¡± ai tingya and scarlett were puzzled. ¡°is that a difficult condition?¡± scarlett asked. ¡°it¡¯s not difficult,¡± luo feng said. his affectionate gaze shifted to ai tingya. ¡°it¡¯s just that my lover needs to recuperate. i don¡¯t want her to be too tired. your conditions make it impossible for me to complete her work on her behalf, so i can¡¯t agree.¡± while ai tingya was preparing for her pregnancy, luo feng did all her work. scarlett wanted the two of them to appear at the same time, which went against luo feng¡¯s wishes. ¡°it¡¯s alright,¡± ai tingya advised softly. ¡°it¡¯s rare for miss scarlett to be so straightforward. don¡¯t waste her kindness.¡± ¡°it¡¯s not important. you¡¯re the priority,¡± luo feng said softly. ¡°yayaya!¡± scarlett clenched her fists tightly and let out a cheery scream like a fan. ¡°i like this!¡± in order not to let ai tingya be too tired, luo feng actually gave up on his money tree. this was love! scarlett was even more excited. she loved dog food. the more lovey-dovey it was, the better! it was like watching a live idol drama. seeing others happy made her feel as if she was happy too. luo feng had been showing off his love for so many years, but this was the first time he had met such a supportive audience. ¡°we can discuss the other conditions. as for this¡­ i¡¯m sorry,¡± luo feng said. ¡°it¡¯s alright!¡± scarlett looked at the loving scene between the two of them. she could accommodate them in order to see more of them in the future. ¡°you don¡¯t have to do it every time. just send tingya to me whenever she comes to play with me.¡± immediately after, scarlett said to ai tingya, ¡°tingya, i don¡¯t even have any friends in shanghai. can you be my first friend? i think we hit it off very well!¡± ¡°of course!¡± ai tingya couldn¡¯t ask for more. of course, she was happy to have another friend. ¡°then can i be your friend?¡± yang tianzhen appeared out of nowhere. the moment scarlett saw him, her smile disappeared and she said politely and distantly, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, i¡¯m only friends with girls.¡± ¡°¡­¡± the difference in treatment was too obvious. yang tianzhen felt bitter and lowered his head like a sleeping penguin. seeing his pitiful look, scarlett sighed and said, ¡°but there¡¯s no problem with autographs and photos.¡± yang tianzhen thanked him profusely. ¡°then let¡¯s prepare to sign the contract.¡± luo feng smiled and said, ¡°old yang, show the contract to miss scarlett.¡± the four of them sat by the river and discussed their work. scarlett¡¯s gloomy expression from the first time they met changed back to her cheerful and smiling self. she had officially joined the innovative artist family! ¡­ with scarlett¡¯s help, the poaching process immediately became extremely smooth. scarlett was a living signboard that displayed the strength of an innovative artist and attracted many popular domestic celebrities. they would still jump ship even with the sky-high compensation they had to pay. in their eyes, innovative artist was already internationally connected. otherwise, why would they be able to sign an international superstar, scarlett? even though it was a little different from the truth, luo feng would not mistreat any employees as usual. the treatment and resources would not be different from what he had imagined. luo feng handed all these complicated contract matters to yang tianzhen. as for him, he continued to cooperate with pregnancy preparations, quit drinking and staying up late. he ate and drank lightly and exercised appropriately. two months later, ai tingya sent a piece of good news¡ªshe was pregnant. the family was overjoyed. father luo, mother luo, and ai zhaojiang immediately went to the streets to buy. other than chicken, duck, and fish, there were all kinds of nutritious ingredients. there were also all kinds of baby utensils, from shoes to hats, from toys to books. even though it was still 10 months before they could see the child, the three elders were already preparing their child¡¯s school supplies. luo feng and ai tingya couldn¡¯t persuade them even if they wanted to. ¡°aiya, xiao feng, why are you still standing here? help your father unload the goods!¡± mother luo moved a stool into the courtyard and asked ai tingya to sit down. as for luo feng, she commanded him to move the things. ¡°what are you looking at?¡± mother luo leaned over curiously. luo feng put away his phone and smiled. ¡°nothing.¡± ¡°stop playing. do you know that your phone has radiation?¡± mother luo rolled her eyes at him. ¡°come and help.¡± luo feng agreed and smiled even wider. he had just taken a look when his cash return had already accumulated to 100 billion! after establishing the company, cash returns were entering his account at any time and place, so luo feng closed the notification. it had actually accumulated so much! he was satisfied. this was the best gift he had prepared for his unborn child after all! it contained all ai tingy and his hard work! Chapter 421 - 421 Luo Fengs New Plan, Its Not Too Much to Buy a Hospital, Right? 421 luo feng¡¯s new plan, it¡¯s not too much to buy a hospital, right? ever since ai tingya got pregnant, luo feng¡¯s family had entered a state of emergency. mother luo stopped dancing and taking father luo for a walk. ai zhaojiang also stopped playing chess. the three of them circled around ai tingya every day, afraid that she would be unhappy. all the sharp things in the house had been wrapped up and ai tingya¡¯s utensils were placed where she could reach them. when the three elders had nothing to do, they would sit together and study recipes, learning how to take care of pregnant women and pregnant women. every day, there were many things for them to do. it was not just the three of them. when dean du heard this, she, who did not leave the orphanage all year round, specially came to shanghai. she had raised ai tingya up, and the two of them were like mother and daughter. dean du had been here for a few days, and the two of them had endless things to talk about every day. when the children from the other orphanages heard that their big sister was pregnant, they also wanted to come and take a look. however, they were separated by a vast distance and could not apply for leave, so they asked xiao fei to come and take a look as a representative. in the first few days, the house was very lively. their classmates and roommates from oxford university came to visit with gifts. luo feng specially asked everyone to spread out the gathering at home since he was worried that ai tingya would be too tired. ¡°oh, lei jin, you¡¯re here. it¡¯s been a long time. i heard that you¡¯re getting married too?¡± ¡°xie yan? ah! xiao feng¡¯s business partner from school, right? welcome, welcome.¡± ¡°feng, bring some tea.¡± ¡°bring out the beef from the fridge. i want to show off my skills with so many guests here.¡± ¡°there are still some clothes i bought for tingya in the car. bring them in.¡± the more people came to the house, the busier luo feng became. every time a new guest came, mother luo would make her best dishes and fill the table. it could be said to be a small project. fortunately, father luo was there to help. the couple had cultivated a tacit understanding for decades, and everyone who came as guests praised them. even ai zhaojiang would occasionally look envious. ¡°if only my son and daughter-in-law were still around.¡± every time this happened, ai tingya would sit beside ai zhaojiang and silently accompany her grandfather. she was now the absolute protagonist of this family. the others would also surround her and chat with her to relieve their boredom. they would drink tea and eat snacks. life was extremely comfortable. other than luo feng. while father luo and mother luo were preparing the food, he was moving things and doing manual labor. while everyone was chatting happily to relieve their boredom, he was serving tea. luo feng pondered carefully. that¡¯s not right! he was the head of the family! why was he the one doing all the dirty work? he should do something more meaningful. he should make good use of his reborn life, getting cashbacks especially with his eyes that could see people¡¯s potential. such talents could not be wasted like this! ¡°lei jin, eat quickly. this is your favorite.¡± at the dining table, mother luo warmly welcomed lei jin. luo feng and lei jin grew up together and studied together before graduating from high school. the two families had a good relationship and knew each other¡¯s preferences. ¡°thank you, auntie. after so many years, auntie¡¯s pork ribs are still the most delicious.¡± lei jin¡¯s small mouth seemed to have been smeared with honey, making mother luo laugh out loud. ¡°tingya, eat it too. this fish doesn¡¯t have any bones,¡± mother luo said. this was a line that appeared at luo feng¡¯s dining table every day. the elders always looked at the younger generation with tender eyes. from the first time mother luo saw ai tingya, her impression of her had not changed. why was this child so thin? from then on, feeding ai tingya became mother luo¡¯s favorite thing to do. even though they had known each other for so many years and ai tingya had changed from luo feng¡¯s classmate to his wife, mother luo still felt that ai tingya was too thin. however, the doctor had instructed that pregnant women should not be overly nourishing, so mother luo specially chose low-fat and high-protein food like cows, sheep, and fish for ai tingya. ¡°mom, i might not be able to eat much.¡± ai tingya smiled apologetically. early in her pregnancy, her mouth was tasteless and she easily felt nauseous. she didn¡¯t eat much of the delicacies on the table every time and felt a little guilty. mother luo didn¡¯t think much of it. ¡°i understand. morning sickness doesn¡¯t feel good. i won¡¯t have made it for nothing even if you only take a bite of a dish. hehe, i won¡¯t force you.¡± mother luo was very satisfied to see ai tingya eating happily. mother luo felt even worse than starving herself seeing that ai tingya couldn¡¯t eat. as a woman, mother luo understood ai tingya¡¯s concerns and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry about food being wasted. your father and little feng will settle it.¡± father luo patted his stomach, which had become wider, to show that he could eat it all in order to show that his wife was right! ¡°thank you, mom.¡± ai tingya¡¯s heart warmed, but she felt sorry for luo feng. when she met luo feng¡¯s gaze, she realized that he was not looking at her. his eyes were fixed on something in the air, and he was in a daze. he held his chopsticks but did not pick up any food, as if he was thinking about something. ¡°luo feng, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ai tingya asked softly. ¡°huh?¡± only then did luo feng come back to his senses and see the others staring at him. ¡°luo feng, what are you thinking? you¡¯re not even eating or talking,¡± lei jin said. he had stayed here for two days and could always see luo feng in a daze. in the past, luo feng did not have this problem. he kept feeling that he had become more and more serious recently. lei jin thought for a moment and grinned. ¡°are you still at a loss as a father? i understand, i understand.¡± ¡°no.¡± luo feng shook his head. ¡°i¡¯m thinking about business.¡± ¡°you¡¯re still thinking?¡± lei jin asked in surprise. with the size of luo feng¡¯s companies, he would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life if he brought his entire family along. mother luo thought that he would not be able to finish earning money and pregnancy was a big deal, so she wanted luo feng to leave the company¡¯s matters to his subordinates. as her husband, he would accompany his wife at home. a few days ago, luo feng was still fine. why did he suddenly think of the company? ¡°the innovative artist has just signed a newbie and has many film projects to invest in.¡± ai tingya helped to explain. ¡°if you¡¯re worried, you can go and take a look.¡± ¡°no.¡± luo feng shook his head. ¡°the innovative artist is on the right track. there¡¯s also old yang and benson. i don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± he looked at ai tingya and shifted his gaze to her flat stomach. it contained the love crystal of ai tingya and him. it would slowly grow in and ai tingya¡¯s abdomen would slowly swell. the birth of life was always inconceivable. ¡°what¡¯s wrong? why are you looking at me?¡± ai tingya looked at her clothes, thinking that some dirt might have been splashed on it. luo feng¡¯s eyes were filled with gentleness as he smiled and said, ¡°i¡¯m thinking about buying a hospital to ensure your pregnancy process.¡± he had once seen a documentary detailing the entire process of life from the embryo to the ground. it was very difficult for the pregnant mother. it was not an exaggeration to say that she had just walked through the gates of hell. luo feng could not bear to see ai tingya suffer, but he could not do this for her. there wasn¡¯t much he could do. it wasn¡¯t too much to buy a hospital for ai tingya and their soon-to-be child, right? Chapter 422 - 422 Career and Love, Lei Jins Dream Girl! 422 career and love, lei jin¡¯s dream girl! luo feng wanted to buy a hospital to prepare for what would happen after delivery for ai tingya. moreover, the hospital was also considered an investment. in the future, if the family had a headache or fever, they could go. this deal would not be a loss. ¡°this¡­ this is too exaggerated.¡± the corners of lei jin¡¯s mouth twitched. why was buying a hospital as easy as eating in luo feng¡¯s eyes? ¡°but i¡¯m really anxious.¡± luo feng put down his chopsticks and said seriously, ¡°recently, i¡¯ve been reading books and documentaries related to childbirth.¡± his gaze moved to the bookshelf in the living room. the books on it had all been changed to nutrition, postpartum care, and childcare. everyone in the house was preparing for the arrival of a new life. luo feng felt that as a husband and father, he should prepare the most complete guarantee for his wife and children! ¡°haha¡­¡± lei jin laughed dryly. ¡°that¡¯s a good thing, but the venue, equipment, qualifications, and personnel needed to open a hospital can¡¯t be prepared in ten months, right?¡± he understood from luo feng that it was not easy to buy a hospital. for example, a well-managed hospital did not have to be sold. for a poorly-managed hospital, it was either in a bad location or had lousy equipment. luo feng might not be interested. ¡°why don¡¯t you invest in a hospital?¡± lei jin suggested. ¡°becoming a shareholder of a private hospital will indeed be much more convenient.¡± luo feng pondered and said, ¡°i think what you said makes sense. the efficiency of buying a hospital is indeed not high.¡± ¡°of course. brother, i¡¯m talking about the main point.¡± lei jin was pleased with himself. with luo feng¡¯s current status and foresight, it would be a great honor to be able to talk back to him. he would be bragging when he returned. luo feng turned to ai tingya and said, ¡°why don¡¯t we build a hospital?¡± ¡°huh?¡± the dining table was silent. everyone stared at luo feng with wide eyes. he had just said that he was not buying it, and now he was going to build the hospital. luo feng nodded. the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. ¡°build a chain hospital and create a private brand! i will create this for tingya and my child!¡± the last sentence was what luo feng wanted to express. before the others could react because this matter was too important, lei jin slammed the table and stood up, giving luo feng a thumbs up. ¡°brother, you¡¯re the one i admire the most in this world!¡± lei jin was so touched that he was about to cry. this was the role model of a man and a husband! even a man like him could not handle it, not to mention ai tingya. ¡°tingya, what do you think?¡± luo feng turned to smile at ai tingya. ¡°if we can help others, of course it¡¯ll be good,¡± ai tingya said. after a short moment of shock, she felt that what luo feng said made sense. building a new hospital would give birth to new jobs. it would also share the medical pressure. it was definitely a business that benefited the public. even though she was already a successful businessman, ai tingya had never lost her original intention. her wish was still to make everyone happy. in the past, she was not capable enough and could only take care of her friends and family now that luo feng and her influence was constantly expanding, this wish could also be expanded a little. ¡°but if we start building a hospital now, won¡¯t you be busy?¡± mother luo raised another point of view. ¡°you can¡¯t even be by tingya¡¯s side during her pregnancy?¡± mother luo came from a simple family and didn¡¯t have any great ambitions. her greatest wish in this life was for her family to be harmonious and happy. in her heart, the hospital could be built anytime, but this was the first time ai tingya was pregnant, so luo feng had to be present. ¡°i can hire people to help me.¡± luo feng pointed at his eyes. he did not need to do everything himself with such a pair of good eyes. ¡°ahem, i can help too,¡± lei jin said proudly. ai tingya looked at him in confusion. ¡°have you changed your profession? i remember that you didn¡¯t major in medicine in university.¡± if she remembered correctly, lei jin¡¯s major was related to the internet. when they filled in their applications, they all felt that the internet industry had great potential. it had been a year or two since he graduated, but he had never heard of lei jin changing careers. lei jin coughed lightly and was a little embarrassed. ¡°the girl i¡¯m pursuing is a medical student. even though she¡¯s not very capable, she definitely knows more about the industry than us.¡± if he helped luo feng with the hospital, wouldn¡¯t there be more opportunities for communication? ¡°is that girl in shanghai too?¡± luo feng asked. ¡°yes, she¡¯s looking for a job in shanghai.¡± lei jin smiled brightly at the mention of the girl. luo feng raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°looks like you really like her. why don¡¯t we meet tomorrow?¡± originally, lei jin had returned to his hometown after graduation. after all, lei jin¡¯s mother was the only one at home. unexpectedly, he suddenly came to shanghai with the intention of developing here. luo feng knew that he had other motives. it turned out that he was chasing after a girl. he and ai tingya were already married and had children, but lei jin was still a general without an army. luo feng decided to help his brother. ¡°isn¡¯t it too soon?¡± lei jin was a little hesitant. ¡°now that we¡¯re talking about building a hospital, people definitely won¡¯t take it seriously.¡± ¡°ahem.¡± luo feng crossed his arms and straightened his back. ¡°why? do you think people won¡¯t believe me?¡± lei jin sized him up and slapped his forehead. ¡°aiya, how could i forget? you¡¯re president luo. of course they would believe you.¡± when he thought about how luo feng had actually gone personally to build a hospital for him to fall in love with, he was too touched. ¡°luo feng, i don¡¯t even know how to thank you.¡± lei jin slurped. ¡°stop!¡± luo feng was allergic to mushy food. ¡°i¡¯m not just helping you date. of course, i have other motives.¡± in an industry like medicine, if that girl dared to look for a job in a super front-line city like shanghai, her professional knowledge must be very strong and might be very outstanding. what did this mean? it meant that there was an even more outstanding teacher behind her! these were all connections that could be used. of course, luo feng would not let them go. taking ten thousand steps back, the girl¡¯s situation was completely opposite to what he had imagined, so it didn¡¯t matter. luo feng took it as helping lei jin take a look at the situation. after all, lei jin had been single until now and had never been in a relationship. it was easy for him to suffer if he went overboard. ¡°let¡¯s go out for a walk after dinner,¡± luo feng said. ¡°i¡¯ll buy you two new clothes and leave a good impression.¡± every time this happened, luo feng could not help but show off his wife. ¡°did you see my outfit? it was all picked by tingya. her taste is superb. everyone would praise her when they see her.¡± lei jin was so touched that he could not speak. he looked at ai tingya. ¡°sister-in-law, i¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± in the past, they were classmates who called each other by their full names. now, it was different. of course, they had to address each other respectfully. ¡°sure, i haven¡¯t shopped in a long time too.¡± ai tingya covered her mouth and laughed. i¡¯ll definitely make you look brand new from head to toe!¡± Chapter 423 - 423 A Career Type Girl Is Really Rare 423 a career type girl is really rare luo feng remembered a knowledge nugget he had seen in the past. ¡°if you can¡¯t get an appointment with the specialist expert when you go to the hospital, then get an appointment with a new doctor.¡± at first, he thought that it was some kind of joke, but he realized that even though the new doctor¡¯s experience and skills might be lacking, the new doctor could persuade people. when he encountered a problem that was difficult to solve, he would call his teacher. it could be said that he was an expert on getting appointments. luo feng did not expect this knowledge nugget to be useful one day. ¡°lei jin, don¡¯t tremble.¡± luo feng pressed down on lei jin¡¯s shoulder. ¡°you¡¯re too nervous.¡± ¡°i¡­ how can i not be nervous?¡± lei jin swallowed and kept taking deep breaths. it was very quiet in the cafe. the soothing music was just right. lei jin grabbed his sleeves and rolled them up. he could not find a suitable position. in order to highlight lei jin, who had changed his appearance, luo feng specially dressed very casually, thinking that he could hide his aura if he kept a low profile. ¡°it¡¯s indeed better to roll it up. it feels too rigid when i put it down.¡± lei jin struggled with his sleeve for the sixth time. ¡°your sleeves are wrinkled. it¡¯s better to roll them up.¡± luo feng pushed a glass of water over. ¡°drink a glass of water to calm down.¡± lei jin pushed the cup away and shook his head. ¡°forget it, forget it. i drank three cups. i want to go to the toilet now.¡± looking at his situation, luo feng suddenly understood why lei jin was still single. his mental fortitude was unparalleled. he had already scared himself to death before the person even arrived. luo feng was just about to comfort him in case his condition was too bad and scared the girl away when lei jin said shyly, ¡°luo feng, do you think this counts as my first date with her?¡± ¡°not really.¡± luo feng held his forehead. ¡°calm down in order to have an official date in the future!¡± ¡°yes!¡± lei jin roared. the other people in the coffee shop looked over unhappily. after two seconds of silence, lei jin suddenly shivered. ¡°i¡¯m going to the toilet. wait here¡­¡± as soon as his butt left the stool, it quickly stuck back. luo feng looked at him in confusion. following lei jin¡¯s gaze, he saw a black-haired girl in white standing at the door. the girl had her hands in her pockets and her back was hunched listlessly as she walked over. only when she approached did luo feng notice the girl¡¯s red eyes and huge dark circles. ¡°brother lei, sorry to keep you waiting.¡± the girl sat directly opposite the two of them. she was stunned for a moment before moving in. she yawned and said, ¡°a friend of mine will be coming over later. you don¡¯t mind, right?¡± ¡°no¡­ i don¡¯t mind.¡± lei jin lowered his head and spoke as softly as a mosquito. luo feng sat at the side and looked at the two of them coldly. one of them was like a dragonfly skimming the water. seeing that she was about to fall asleep in the next second, the other was like a shy little wife who lowered her head and smiled sweetly. the two of them did not have any ambiguous atmosphere at all. if one did not know better, they would think that they were just sharing a table. ¡°i¡¯m going to the toilet. accompany me.¡± luo feng pulled lei jin¡¯s arm. lei jin winked and refused, but he could not dissuade luo feng. he could only follow. the two of them hurriedly ran to the men¡¯s washroom. lei jin unbuttoned the waistband of his pants. he emitted a soft sound, as if his soul had been released the moment he released his urge. then, he turned his head and said unhappily, ¡°that¡¯s too impolite. leaving song xue alone there.¡± ¡°you can¡¯t possibly keep holding it in, right?¡± luo feng rolled his eyes. ¡°also, what¡¯s wrong with that girl? i think she doesn¡¯t have any interest in you from the way she dresses.¡± not every girl knew how to put on makeup, but at least she had to tidy herself up. song xue was still wearing a white coat. it was obvious that she had stayed up all night. luo feng was worried that she would faint from lack of sleep. lei jin hurriedly tried to save his dignity. ¡°song xue is a career-type. agreeing to meet me means that i¡¯m not an ordinary person.¡± after his explanation, luo feng roughly understood what kind of person song xue was. song xue was a clinical student at a famous medical school. during school, she could be said to have placed all her worries on her studies. if humans could survive without eating, song xue would never step into the canteen. there seemed to be a tendency to evolve and lose sleep. she was a girl who even wanted to squeeze in her sleep time, so she was naturally not interested in wearing makeup. ¡°the first time i met her, she fainted on the side of the road.¡± lei jin recalled the first time they met. ¡°she said in a daze that she wanted to go to the autopsy room. she¡¯s really a very hardworking girl.¡± according to him, a human skull model had rolled out of song xue¡¯s bag at the time. luo feng sweated when he heard this. only lei jin could be attracted to a girl under such circumstances. ¡°song xue cares so much about time. let¡¯s go back quickly,¡± luo feng said. he had only taken two steps when lei jin pulled him back. ¡°it¡¯s fine. she must have practiced all night last night. let her sleep for a while,¡± lei jin said. luo feng knew that he really liked song xue. ¡°then go to the bar and order. it¡¯s too strange to be in the toilet all the time.¡± as they spoke, the two of them left the toilet and went to the bar counter. however, they saw a girl in a class suit sitting beside song xue. luo feng remembered that song xue had said that there was another person coming. it should be her. with other people coming, it was not good to stay elsewhere. the two of them returned to their seats after ordering. the girl in the suit slowly raised her head. she saw lei jin first, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously curled into a meaningful smile. right on the heels of that, she noticed luo feng, who was beside lei jin. in an instant, the girl¡¯s smile stiffened, and her widened eyes were filled with shock. she stood up and stood at attention. she stammered, ¡°are¡­ are you mr. luo feng?¡± luo feng nodded. ¡°i am.¡± the girl was at a loss for a moment. she touched her left pocket and her right pocket. she took out a business card and handed it over with both hands. ¡°hello, i¡¯m¡­ i¡¯m song xue¡¯s friend.¡± luo feng wanted to return such a formal self-introduction with his name card but he did not bring it with him. he took the business card with both hands. song xue¡¯s friend¡¯s name was cui enqiao, and she was the sales representative of a pharmaceutical company. luo feng noticed the number above her head. it was very high. in other words, she had the potential to be a salesperson. ¡°my luck is not bad,¡± luo feng thought. in the future, when the hospital opened, it was inevitable that they would have to deal with pharmaceutical sales representatives. ¡°take a seat first,¡± luo feng said. cui enqiao knew luo feng¡¯s identity, and her relaxed state was swept away. in its place, she sat upright. her gaze remained on luo feng, ready to listen to him at any time. realizing that the atmosphere was a little bad, luo feng said, ¡°today is lei jin¡¯s match.¡± only then did cui enqiao remember the purpose of this trip. she smiled awkwardly. ¡°song xue only said that she had an appointment and asked me to accompany her. let¡¯s get down to business first.¡± lei jin¡¯s attention was completely on song xue, who was dozing off. ¡°you guys chat first. let song xue sleep for a while more.¡± ¡°haha, you still know how to feel sorry for girls.¡± cui enqiao clearly knew what lei jin was thinking and teased him. ¡°it¡¯s the same if you tell me anything. i¡¯m song xue¡¯s best friend.¡± Chapter 424 - 424 Let The Gentleman Win The Favor After The Brief Meeting 424 let the gentleman win the favor after the brief meeting song xue and cui enqiao had known each other since they were young and were very close. the two of them had different educational backgrounds and jobs, but this did not hinder their relationship. in a city like shanghai that was under great pressure, the two of them rented together and usually took care of each other. song xue often read until late at night. when cui enqiao found out at night, she would heat up milk for her. sometimes, when cui enqiao worked overtime, song xue would leave some for dinner and put it on the table to wait for cui enqiao to come back. it could be said that in an unfamiliar city, the two of them were each other¡¯s only family. ¡°last night, she suddenly said that someone asked her out. i thought that song xue had suddenly changed and was finally willing to interact with other matters.¡± cui enqiao covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect her to be the same as before. hahaha.¡± other than studying and working, song xue was not interested in anything else. when she had to meet her male friends like this, she would rather use it to sleep, so she would call cui enqiao every time. anyway, the two of them knew each other very well. cui enqiao would help her remember some unimportant things. ¡°i understand.¡± lei jin gave luo feng a look, as if to say, ¡°she¡¯s willing to attend the appointment, but i¡¯m different, right?¡± lei jin said after feeling smug, ¡°originally, i didn¡¯t want to disturb her rest time, but this matter is very important, so i had no choice but to ask her out to talk.¡± ¡°what is it?¡± cui enqiao glanced at luo feng. ¡°can i listen to this?¡± if it were anyone else, cui enqiao would not treat herself as an outsider and say whatever she wanted. facing luo feng, she was very cautious. after all, the person opposite her was a legend in the business world. even if luo feng did not do anything and only waited quietly, cui enqiao was so nervous that she was almost out of breath. lei jin smiled and said, ¡°i heard that song xue is about to graduate. she¡¯s worried about her work. coincidentally, my friend is opening a hospital. i want to ask if she¡¯s willing to come.¡± ¡°ah?!¡± cui enqiao widened her eyes in surprise. she grabbed song xue¡¯s arm and shook it hard. ¡°wake up. someone is introducing you to a job!¡± ¡°huh? ah?¡± song xue slowly raised her head and wiped the saliva from her mouth. she stared at the three people in front of her in a daze. ¡°haha, that¡¯s great.¡± after saying that, song xue fell asleep again. ¡°hello, xiaoxue?!¡± cui enqiao shook song xue¡¯s arm and said apologetically, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, she¡¯s been working on her thesis for two nights.¡± this made lei jin¡¯s heart ache. he said to luo feng, ¡°hurry up and finish so that i can send them back.¡± luo feng thought to himself, look at how worthless you are. he cleared his throat and said, ¡°since we¡¯re not outsiders, i¡¯ll be frank. i¡¯m preparing to open a national chain of private hospitals. i¡¯m currently in the preparation stage. i have to open it within 10 months. i need connections and connections.¡± at this point, luo feng glanced at song xue. salesmen were all smart people. cui enqiao immediately understood what luo feng meant. she patted her chest and promised, ¡°president luo, you have good taste. our xiaoxue¡¯s mentor is the director of the city hospital. she can introduce you to him. as for other relationships¡­¡± luo feng grinned. ¡°don¡¯t i still have you? i know that you pharmaceutical sales representatives need to go to the hospital to promote medicine. i believe you know many doctors. it would naturally be better if you have a director.¡± the main problem was the venue. as for the other qualifications and business qualifications, luo feng had connections to settle them. however, cui enqiao was very happy. ¡°as long as president luo needs my help, i won¡¯t refuse!¡± she had originally hoped to have a working relationship with luo feng. this way, it would fulfill her wish. ¡°of course, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future,¡± luo feng said. at this moment, the coffee he had ordered earlier was finally served. lei jin was already extremely anxious before he could take a sip. ¡°are you done talking? i¡¯ll send song xue and the rest back.¡± song xue, who was lying on the table, might have already fallen asleep. her limp body kept sliding down the table. if cui enqiao hadn¡¯t been pulling her, she might have already fallen to the ground. cui enqiao also felt that today was not a good opportunity to talk. she apologized again. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, president luo. if i had known that you would come, i would have definitely supervised her to sleep well.¡± ¡°it¡¯s fine. just treat it as making a friend today.¡± luo feng asked the waiter for a pen and wrote his phone number on the paper. ¡°you can contact me anytime. i¡¯ve been rather free recently.¡± ¡°thank you!¡± cui enqiao acted as if she had obtained a treasure. she carefully folded it a few times and placed it in the compartment of her wallet. then, she helped the sleeping song xue stand up. luo feng saw that lei jin, who was beside him, was anxious. he wanted to help, but he didn¡¯t know how, so he quietly handed over his car keys and whispered, ¡°send them back.¡± ¡°brother¡­¡± lei jin¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. he was touched beyond words. lei jin had just arrived in shanghai and had yet to buy a car. he had driven luo feng¡¯s ferrari a few times before, so there was nothing to worry about. ¡°the car is outside. i¡¯ll send you back.¡± lei jin smiled confidently with one hand in his pocket. the only pity was that song xue was asleep. otherwise, he would have charmed this girl to death. ¡°drive slowly and be careful.¡± luo feng sent them out. cui enqiao turned around repeatedly. ¡°president luo, don¡¯t worry. when xue wakes up, i¡¯ll get her to contact her mentor. i¡¯ll be more careful on my side. please.¡± ¡°thank you for your hard work.¡± as luo feng had expected, the prices in shanghai were too high. song xue and cui enqiao came by car. when the three of them stood in front of the ferrari and looked at the three-million-yuan luxury car, lei jin suddenly felt a little nervous. he opened and closed the door very carefully, afraid that it would scrape. cui enqiao could tell at a glance that luo feng had lent this car to lei jin. after confirming the route, lei jin started the ferrari. ¡°by the way, lei jin, i see that you have such a good relationship with president luo. how did you meet?¡± cui enqiao asked. speaking of luo feng, lei jin, this old friend, felt honored and did not hide anything. ¡°i grew up with luo feng and know everyone at home. he and his wife were high school classmates. we fought hard to get into university together. he¡¯s my best friend.¡± lei jin¡¯s tone was filled with pride. even though they had not seen each other for a few years after entering university, their relationship was not distant at all. they would gather every new year. even after luo feng became rich, he did not forget lei jin. he expressed his willingness to help lei jin a few times. however, at that time, lei jin was still in a daze after graduation. he did not know where he was going to develop or what he was going to do, so he was delayed for a few years. he came to shanghai to chase after the girl he liked so they could gather often again. ¡°wow, so your relationship is better than i thought!¡± cui enqiao praised and tightened her grip on song xue¡¯s arm. from their conversation, she understood that lei jin was an honest person. no matter what, she had to make this girl take the initiative and not let down someone that cared for her! Chapter 425 - 425 Serious Analysis, Bold Hypothesis, Is There Any Possibility of Development? 425 serious analysis, bold hypothesis, is there any possibility of development? half an hour after luo feng returned home, lei jin also returned. ¡°lei jin is back. how was the discussion?¡± mother luo ran over with a gossipy expression. as an elder, she was concerned about every junior¡¯s marriage. lei jin scratched his head in embarrassment. ¡°i came back after dropping them off.¡± ¡°aiyo, she didn¡¯t ask you to stay for tea, does she have no feelings for you?¡± mother luo was a little worried. ¡°mother, don¡¯t worry.¡± luo feng helped lei jin smooth things over. ¡°that girl is still willing to meet up after staying up for two nights. it means that she¡¯s interested in lei jin. you¡¯re too anxious.¡± hearing this, lei jin¡¯s face was filled with a blissful smile. ai tingya was a little worried and said softly, ¡°don¡¯t flatter him. it¡¯s better to be honest when dating.¡± as the saying goes, there are three misconceptions in life: phone vibrating, i can counterattack, and she likes me. she was afraid that the voices of the people around lei jin would affect his judgment and cause him to do inappropriate things in their relationship. ¡°no.¡± luo feng saw through the door. ¡°that girl is different from ordinary girls. even though i didn¡¯t see her open her eyes, i can feel that she¡¯s interested in lei jin.¡± ¡°really?¡± ai tingya expressed her doubts. she had heard about the date today. the four of them sat together for less than 20 minutes. song xue had been sleeping the entire time other than greeting them when she first arrived. then, they talked about work. ai tingya did not know where luo feng got the feeling from. ¡°i can guarantee a man¡¯s sixth sense,¡± luo feng vowed. the two of them were chatting when lei jin walked over excitedly. he pulled out a stool and sat opposite them. ¡°the two of you, help me analyze it.¡± lei jin couldn¡¯t suppress his excitement, and his eyes lit up. ¡°did something happen?¡± ai tingya was interested. luo feng stood up and poured a glass of water for lei jin. he waited for him to finish it in one go and refill the second glass before sitting back down beside ai tingya. ¡°on the way back, cui enqiao, song xue¡¯s friend, asked me many things.¡± lei jin held the cup and leaned forward. ¡°i answered everything truthfully. she said that she would help me pass it on to song xue.¡± ¡°does this mean that cui enqiao approves of me too?¡± lei jin was like everyone who had zero exp for love. he wanted to find someone to help him analyze the slightest movement. ai tingya said honestly, ¡°there¡¯s too little time and too little information. i can¡¯t tell anything. is there anything else?¡± ¡°she asked a lot of questions about luo feng.¡± ¡°that¡¯s probably because of work.¡± ¡°she gave me the exact location of their rental.¡± ¡°since you¡¯re sending them home, of course they will enjoy it.¡± ai tingya felt that lei jin was possessed. he did not even let go of song xue¡¯s friend¡¯s every move while song xue slept all the way. he tried his best to find evidence that the two of them could develop. after a round of analysis, lei jin finally accepted that this was just a very ordinary meeting that lasted less than 20 minutes. they couldn¡¯t even be considered friends. ¡°alright, i was thinking too much.¡± lei jin buried his face in his palm like a deflated balloon. ¡°don¡¯t be discouraged.¡± ai tingya comforted her. ¡°she didn¡¯t reject you. perhaps there will be progress the next time you meet.¡± lei jin shook his head helplessly. ¡°she¡¯s very busy. she doesn¡¯t sleep enough every day. if it¡¯s not something very important, i really don¡¯t want to waste her time.¡± in the past, lei jin had also tried to chat with song xue. song xue was polite. she responded to every sentence, but because she was too busy, there was a long interval between responses. ¡°how long have you known each other?¡± luo feng asked. ¡°more than a year,¡± lei jin said. ¡°she was still in school at that time. we exchanged contact information and had a meal together.¡± he pulled out their chat history as he spoke. luo feng took a look and could not help but sweat. the two of them were like clocking in good morning and good night. they ended the day¡¯s chat within six lines. occasionally, lei jin would share interesting things or delicious lunches, while song xue would mostly eat bread with instant noodles. ¡°chatting with the artificial intelligence is more interesting than chatting with the two of you.¡± luo feng could not help but complain. ¡°you think so too right¡­¡± lei jin laid on the table like a young girl yearning for love. ai tingya glared at luo feng and stopped him from attacking lei jin. ¡°i heard that she¡¯s looking for a job. isn¡¯t luo feng opening a hospital? it can create an opportunity for you to meet.¡± hearing the new method, lei jin suddenly became excited, but in the blink of an eye, he became listless again. ¡°forget it. i¡¯m not in this profession either. i can¡¯t help much,¡± lei jin said. according to song xue¡¯s personality, she was busy studying when she was studying and would definitely work hard after work. she wished she could turn one second into two seconds. she was a true insulator of leisure and entertainment. lei jin couldn¡¯t bear to waste her time. it was very difficult for the two of them to interact. seeing this, ai tingya had no choice. she was not experienced in love. luo feng was the only one for her from the beginning to the end. however, even people like her and luo feng, who were star students, would occasionally take the time to date. the two of them could also improve their relationship by staying in the library to read and practice questions. song xue was a rather special girl. as a girl, ai tingya couldn¡¯t give her any ideas. however, luo feng said, ¡°i think you should be more domineering and ask her out for a chat. otherwise, with her current schedule, it¡¯s only a matter of time before she dies.¡± these words could be said to be the opposite of lei jin¡¯s usual style. ¡°won¡¯t it be annoying?¡± lei jin was stunned. luo feng said, ¡°i don¡¯t quite understand this either, but it¡¯s not like the two of you don¡¯t have a good impression of each other. your taking up her time shouldn¡¯t cause a problem.¡± he didn¡¯t think that ¡°for your own good¡± was a death exemption, but song xue¡¯s condition indeed needed to be corrected. ¡°no matter how much you value learning and work, it¡¯ll all be gone if you die of exhaustion,¡± luo feng said. ¡°this way, your intentions are good.¡± ¡°really?¡± lei jin pondered seriously and felt that what luo feng said made sense. suddenly, luo feng smiled slyly. ¡°if you¡¯re worried that you¡¯ll be hated for crossing the line, why don¡¯t we find someone with connections to ask?¡± he took out cui enqiao¡¯s business card as if it was a magic mirror. it was as if as long as he asked the magic mirror a question, the other party would be able to answer them one by one. lei jin¡¯s eyes widened. it could be used this way?! ¡°how is it?¡± luo feng placed the business card on the table and pushed it in front of lei jin. ¡°whether you use it or not is up to you.¡± ¡°of course i have to use it!¡± lei jin said happily. one of the rules of love: if you want to get the person you like, you have to get her best friend first! with luo feng¡¯s reputation, cui enqiao would definitely cooperate. lei jin held the business card like a genie who could fulfill his wishes. he thanked luo feng before he could take the first step. ¡°brother, if the two of us can succeed, i¡¯ll definitely thank you properly and let you be our child¡¯s godfather.¡± it hasn¡¯t even begun and you have already thought of the child¡¯s name¡­¡± ai tingya snickered. lei jin was really head over heels in love. Chapter 426 - Chapter 426 Serious Analysis, Lei Jins Way Forward! chapter 426 serious analysis, lei jin¡¯s way forward! lei jin held the business card in one hand and his phone in the other. he quickly dialed cui enqiao¡¯s number. ¡°hello?¡± cui enqiao¡¯s voice came from the receiver. ¡°i¡¯m lei jin.¡± lei jin swallowed. in his nervousness, he had completely forgotten the words he had prepared. he looked up at luo feng and ai tingya for help. ai tingya quickly took out her phone and typed a notification. ¡°ask about song xue¡¯s situation.¡± ¡°is song xue alright?¡± lei jin asked. ¡°she¡¯s still asleep,¡± cui enqiao said. ¡°why are you calling?¡± lei jin stared at the opposite side and said cautiously, ¡°go to a secluded place. i have something to tell you.¡± this little trick was naturally obvious to cui enqiao. the other party chuckled and waited for her to speak again. there was an echo from the receiver. ¡°i¡¯m in the corridor. if you have anything to say, say it,¡± cui enqiao said. ¡°um¡­ i was just saying¡­ um¡­ can i ask you for a favor?¡± lei jin stammered. ¡°i mean¡­ can you tell me¡­ song xue¡¯s interests, preferences, and so on¡­¡± lei jin had to stammer a few times before he could finish his sentence. lei jin might have said something that crossed the line if it weren¡¯t for ai tingya¡¯s constant reminder. the other side was silent for a moment before they suddenly burst into heartless mockery. ¡°hahaha, i was wondering why you only asked me now.¡± cui enqiao laughed loudly. ¡°you finally made a smart decision.¡± ¡°haha¡­¡± lei jin laughed dryly. ¡°you mean you agree?¡± ¡°what else? you seem to be a good person. it¡¯s rare for someone to like little xue so much. of course, i¡¯m willing to be a match maker. however, i won¡¯t let you off if you hurt little xue!¡± cui enqiao half-threatened him. lei jin admitted that he was not a scumbag who bullied girls. he hurriedly said, ¡°no, i will cherish her and love her¡­¡± ¡°alright, alright. tell the mushy words to the person who should hear them. what do you want to know?¡± cui enqiao asked. lei jin chuckled shyly. he couldn¡¯t care less about his embarrassment and asked, ¡°i just want to know what song xue likes to eat, her usual interests, and the type of boys she likes¡­¡± ai tingya quickly reminded him, ¡°you¡¯re asking too many questions. take your time.¡± lei jin hurriedly shut his mouth and asked carefully, ¡°can you tell me?¡± cui enqiao was straightforward. ¡°little xue isn¡¯t very picky about food. she likes to eat ready-made food. she feels that cooking is a waste of time, but she knows how to cook simple dishes. if you want to make her like you, it¡¯s best not to let her cook for you.¡± ¡°her usual interests are reading and sleeping.¡± ¡°the type of boy she likes¡­ when she was in high school, she liked a senior. little xue liked him very much because that senior was a star student and always brought her food.¡± hearing this, lei jin took a deep breath. he did not expect to be able to come into contact with song xue¡¯s past love history so quickly, catching him off guard. ¡°what happened after that?¡± lei jin asked. ¡°after that, senior got into university first and found a girlfriend,¡± cui enqiao said. ¡°is that cheating?¡± ai tingya asked in surprise. lei jin also asked curiously, ¡°did that senior cheat on her?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t think so,¡± cui enqiao said. ¡°the two of them were just farming questions together. if we¡¯re talking about liking each other, it¡¯s only xiao xue who has a one-sided crush on him. she heard that senior even gave him her blessings when he had a girlfriend.¡± lei jin sweated. ¡°in short, she just found a good friend to study with.¡± ¡°more or less. xiao xue is more practical,¡± cui enqiao said. ai tingya quickly went to the coffee table to get a pen and paper and ran back to record some useful information. ¡°then what kind of movie does song xue like? can i ask her out?¡± lei jin was very nervous. cui enqiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°it might not be convenient. she hasn¡¯t finished her thesis recently. she doesn¡¯t even have enough time to sleep.¡± finally, they got to the point. ai tingya looked at lei jin¡¯s stunned expression. he must have been so worried that he had completely forgotten the purpose of the call. ¡°ask her if she can interfere at the right time,¡± ai tingya prompted again. ¡°ah, right, there¡¯s one more thing,¡± lei jin hurriedly said. ¡°i just feel that song xue¡¯s lifestyle is too harmful to her body. do i have the right to interfere? for example, letting her sleep on time.¡± a sigh came from the other side. clearly, cui enqiao had also noticed this. ¡°of course it¡¯s good if someone supervises her. sometimes, i¡¯m also worried that her body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± ¡°no matter how important a paper is, it¡¯s not as important as health.¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry. if she¡¯s disgusted, i¡¯ll even tell you. we¡¯ll adjust the plan.¡± hearing that cui enqiao was on their side, lei jin couldn¡¯t stop smiling. ¡°is there anything else? i¡¯m hanging up,¡± cui enqiao said. ¡°by the way, president luo is also by the side, right? hehe, help me greet him.¡± ¡°no problem.¡± lei jin smiled. cui enqiao still cared about luo feng¡¯s face. if not for luo feng, she might have kept him in suspense and told him everything. ¡°did you hear that? i can go and care about her!¡± lei jin felt light-headed, as if he had already tasted the sweetness of love. ¡°where do you think i should start with the first step? give her a bento?¡± ai tingya and luo feng looked at each other and agreed. ¡°it¡¯s more reliable for you to find a job first.¡± from the conversation just now, she understood that song xue was a practical girl. there were two reasons why she liked star students. firstly, the star student was good at studying and could help her. secondly, the star student brought her food. lei jin definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to help song xue in her studies and work. after all, he wasn¡¯t a medical major. however, if a man only cared about managing and cooking, it would be difficult for girls to feel safe. ¡°a man still has to have his own career. you have to prioritize work first,¡± ai tingya said, her eyes involuntarily looking at luo feng. luo feng¡¯s ability to earn money had helped ai tingya a lot. this was also the source of her initial sense of security. ¡°speaking of which, what job are you looking for?¡± luo feng asked. ¡°why don¡¯t you just stay in shanghai? you can bring auntie up when it¡¯s stable.¡± speaking of work, lei jin was in a dilemma. ¡°i don¡¯t know what i can do now. i¡¯m still very confused.¡± in high school, lei jin was brought by luo feng and ai tingya to study together and was admitted to a good university. however, he soon relaxed. now that he recalled his four years in university, he was muddle-headed and did not have many memories. other than going to a fixed professional class every day, lei jin did not know what he was doing the rest of the time. in particular, compared to luo feng opening a milk tea shop and a delivery company in university, he regretted wasting so much precious time. this feeling continued until now. lei jin¡¯s confidence shrunk and he was at a loss as to what to do. Chapter 428 - Chapter 428 The Appearance Of A Young Seller, 100 Million Yuan, No Bargaining Chapter 428 The Appearance Of A Young Seller, 100 Million Yuan, No Bargaining Chapter 428 The Appearance Of A Young Seller, 100 Million Yuan, No Bargaining ?Luo Feng followed the address Cui Enqiao gave him and navigated to the nursing home. The building near the nursing home was very new. It looked like it had only been repaired in the past two years, but the occupancy rate was not high. The red silk hanging on many balconies had already faded. On the spacious street, the cars that used to pull construction materials were the most common. Construction workers covered in white dust walked towards the employers in twos and threes. Luo Feng parked the car and saw Cui Enqiao squatting by the roadside eating bread. Luo Feng took a bottle of water from the car and walked up to Cui Enqiao. ¡°Sister Cui, didn¡¯t you eat lunch?¡± Cui Enqiao did not expect Luo Feng to arrive so quickly. She swallowed the last mouthful in a hurry. Unexpectedly, the bread was a little big, causing her to choke and pound her chest. Cui Enqiao heaved a sigh of relief after snatching the water from Luo Feng. ¡°President Luo, I¡¯ve embarrassed myself.¡± Cui Enqiao smiled awkwardly. ¡°This is a little remote. I looked around and saw that there was nothing to eat, so I casually dealt with it.¡± Cui Enqiao was focused on her work. After a few words, she asked, ¡°President Luo, are we going in now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine now. The earlier it ends, the earlier we can eat.¡± Luo Feng smiled like a spring breeze. Perhaps it was because he was going to be a father, but his entire body softened. ¡°I can call the two of them too.¡± The other two naturally referred to Lei Jin and Song Xue. It was said that Lei Jin didn¡¯t have the courage to ask Song Xue out recently. Even though he had done so much homework before, he still did not have the courage to take the first step. Luo Feng thought that since there was a chance, he would ask them out for a meal. At night, he would let the two of them take a walk and shop together. Wouldn¡¯t the intimacy increase? When Cui Enqiao heard that someone was treating her to dinner tonight, she immediately had hope. The two of them walked into the nursing home. Cui Enqiao said, ¡°I have some things to tell you in advance. The current boss of this nursing home needs to work harder to deal with him.¡± Luo Feng asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Cui Enqiao continued, ¡°I¡¯ve asked around in advance. The current boss is young. He only bought this nursing home half a year ago.¡± ¡°He might have been fooled by someone. When he bought it, he thought that he could earn a lot of money. Now that he¡¯s in a hurry to sell it, the price is not low. It might take a lot of effort to bargain.¡± It could be considered as giving Luo Feng a warning in advance. This matter might have to be delayed. When Luo Feng heard this news, he was immediately overjoyed and quickened his pace. ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s good news.¡± Luo Feng could not hide the joy in his words. ¡°Huh?¡± Cui Enqiao looked at Luo Feng in confusion, not understanding what he meant. How could it be a good thing? There were not many people in the nursing home, and there was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air. The nurses here were not professionals. Perhaps the rules of the nursing home were not strict. Luo Feng saw a few of them wearing casual clothes. Those who did not know better would think that they were family members. When they saw unfamiliar faces, they would sized up them a few more times, making the unfamiliar face uncomfortable. Cui Enqiao had already contacted the person-in-charge of the nursing home in advance. ¡°CEO Cheng is in the innermost office on the first floor. Let¡¯s go this way.¡± While leading the way for Luo Feng, Cui Enqiao was also observing her surroundings. There was actually no one to welcome them. This was too negligent. She had clearly explained Luo Feng¡¯s identity long ago, so why¡­ Cui Enqiao thought about it. She did not know what CEO Cheng was up to. Judging from his attitude, he did not seem like a businessman. The two of them found the office door by themselves. Cui Enqiao knocked lightly on the door. ¡°Who is it?!¡± A rude answer came from inside, scaring Cui Enqiao so much that she took a step back. Luo Feng grabbed her arm and helped her stand firm. Then, he said, ¡°Is this CEO Cheng? We just contacted each other to discuss buying a nursing home.¡± Bang! The front door was pulled open violently and an overly young face peered out. He looked no older than 22 years old. Luo Feng did not react for a moment and asked, ¡°Hello, classmate. We¡¯re looking for Boss Cheng.¡± ¡°I am.¡± The young man puffed out his chest and tried his best to make his thin body look sturdy and reliable. ¡°You¡¯re CEO Cheng?¡± Cui Enqiao covered her mouth in disbelief. She had heard that the boss here was a young man, but she did not expect him to be so young. He must be a rich second-generation heir starting a business. Otherwise, how could he have the money to buy an entire nursing home? ¡°Uh, can we go in?¡± Cui Enqiao didn¡¯t know what to do. She felt uncomfortable all over facing such a hotheaded youngster. She was afraid that if she said something he didn¡¯t like to hear, it would stimulate the other party¡¯s sensitive nerves. After all, young people at this age were eager to prove their strength. CEO Cheng shook his head. ¡°Come in.¡± The two of them followed him into the office. What greeted their eyes was an anime figurine behind the desk. Transparent small compartments were separated into just the right individual space, placing colorful and lively models. Luo Feng was not much older than CEO Cheng and was very interested in these things. ¡°How spectacular,¡± Luo Feng praised. ¡°You must have put in a lot of effort to have so many figurines.¡± CEO Cheng said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ll sell it to you together. 100,000 yuan. No bargaining.¡± ¡°100,000 yuan?¡± Cui Enqiao was shocked again. It was difficult to hide her shocked expression no matter how hard she tried. A wall of figurines actually cost 100,000 yuan?! Wasn¡¯t this obvious robbery?! ¡°CEO Cheng is so humorous.¡± Cui Enqiao revealed a Class smile and probed, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be easy to collect such a wall of figurines, right? You definitely can¡¯t bear to part with them.¡± ¡°I can bear to.¡± CEO Cheng put his hands in his pockets and looked unruly. ¡°I like wrestling now and don¡¯t like anime. It doesn¡¯t matter if I sell it.¡± CEO Cheng¡¯s casual answer confirmed Cui Enqiao¡¯s suspicion that this guy was a willful rich second-generation heir who didn¡¯t know anything. Discussing business with such a person was the most difficult. Cui Enqiao had encountered it before, and so had Luo Feng. This kind of person who had half a foot in the industry did not know much about the market, but he was overconfident and believed that the entire world should agree with his thoughts. It was very difficult to convince such a person. Perhaps the other party would not listen at all. Luo Feng could estimate the approximate value of a wall of figurines. It was at most 50,000 yuan. This CEO Cheng dared to offer him 100,000 yuan without blushing. This meant that in his heart, these things were indeed worth 100,000 yuan. He probably included his hard work. Even though these efforts were worthless to outsiders, there was no point in dwelling on the figurines. Luo Feng said, ¡°We¡¯re here to¡­¡± ¡°To buy my nursing home,¡± CEO Cheng interrupted. ¡°You guys said it over the phone. I know.¡± He did not ask the two of them to sit down or pour tea. Instead, he sat on his desk. CEO Cheng swung his legs and extended a finger. ¡°100 million yuan. No bargaining.¡± Luo Feng heard Cui Enqiao¡¯s obvious gasp. She had probably never seen such business done this way in her many years in the industry. He was so impolite, as though he had no self-awareness as the seller at all. Cui Enqiao regretted it. If she had known this would happen, she would not have called Luo Feng over. Chapter 429 - Chapter 429 Please Negotiate In Reverse, Don’t Be Afraid Of Raising The Price Boldly! Chapter 429 Please Negotiate In Reverse, Don¡¯t Be Afraid Of Raising The Price Boldly! Chapter 429 Please Negotiate In Reverse, Don¡¯t Be Afraid Of Raising The Price Boldly! ?Cui Enqiao was uneasy and her palms were sweaty. She got Luo Feng to meet such a weirdo as her very first task. Cui Enqiao was as embarrassed as she was when she was sending the message. ¡°CEO Cheng, we¡¯re here to discuss business sincerely. Don¡¯t you think the price is a little too high?¡± Cui Enqiao tried to negotiate. ¡°This deal at a fixed price is not beneficial to both sides.¡± CEO Cheng turned a deaf ear. ¡°100 million yuan, not a single cent less. If you can¡¯t afford it, then leave.¡± Cui Enqiao¡¯s face turned pale. This was even harder to communicate with than she had imagined. There were no conditions for communication at all. Even someone as experienced as Cui Enqiao was a little helpless. ¡°President Luo, why don¡¯t we¡­¡± Cui Enqiao suggested softly. When she looked up, she saw Luo Feng¡¯s excited smile. Luo Feng took a step forward and said firmly, ¡°100 million yuan it is. Let¡¯s sign the contract immediately.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± There were two similar sounds in the huge office. Cui Enqiao was very surprised that Luo Feng agreed just like that. CEO Cheng was also very surprised. He jumped down from the table, his straight posture no longer showing his sloppy attitude just now. His posture had already betrayed his heart. It was obvious that CEO Cheng did not expect anyone to accept this unreasonable price. Luo Feng was overjoyed. This was the easiest deal he had ever negotiated. There was no need to pull at the limit, nor did he have to work hard to remind the other party that he could buy at a high price. If all his future partners were as confident and straightforward as CEO Cheng, Luo Feng would be able to become the richest man in the world very quickly with the cash back. He wished he could hand over the money immediately. ¡°Are you serious?!¡± CEO Cheng¡¯s mouth was slightly agape, and the cold air he inhaled made a hissing sound. ¡°I¡¯m talking about 100 million yuan!¡± He emphasized again, afraid that Luo Feng might not have heard him clearly. ¡°It¡¯s 100 million yuan, right? Is the contract ready?¡± Luo Feng was as relaxed as usual. He could not hold back his grip on the card. ¡°Contract¡­ contract¡­¡± CEO Cheng scratched his head as he walked behind his desk. He opened a drawer and took out a crumpled contract. He didn¡¯t expect anyone to accept it, nor did he expect it to happen so quickly. He wasn¡¯t even prepared. Cui Enqiao helped Luo Feng get the contract. After reading it carefully, Luo Feng realized many problems. ¡°CEO Cheng, this contract clearly doesn¡¯t match our situation this time. I think it¡¯s more appropriate to write another one.¡± Luo Feng put down the contract and said, ¡°Can we hurry up? I want to start the modification tomorrow.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious¡­¡± CEO Cheng gulped. He was still at a loss. Just as he sat in front of the computer and was about to make a move, he suddenly stood up and asked, ¡°I¡¯m talking about a 100 million yuan. Are you sure you won¡¯t go back on your word?¡± ¡°As long as you don¡¯t go back on your word.¡± Luo Feng smiled happily. ¡°If you think it¡¯s too cheap, you can ask for a higher price. I won¡¯t bargain.¡± ¡°Are you serious?!¡± CEO Cheng felt like he was being provoked. Thinking about his actions just now, he indeed seemed a little too cowardly. Since the other party said that he could raise the price again, there was no need for him to be polite. After all, he was not the one who lost money. Chief Cheng gathered his energy in his dantian and shouted, ¡°150 million yuan!¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°What about 200 million yuan?¡± Chief Cheng asked again. ¡°No problem.¡± Luo Feng couldn¡¯t stop laughing. ¡°Three¡­ 300 million?!¡± CEO Cheng¡¯s voice trembled. The more he shouted, the more guilty he felt. ¡°Up to you, but please speed up. We¡¯re short on time,¡± Luo Feng urged. If not for the fact that he was not allowed to raise the price recklessly, he would have asked CEO Cheng to write 500 million on the contract. Even though Luo Feng looked casual, he actually cherished this opportunity. It was rare to see someone as bold as CEO Cheng after all. It would probably be difficult to encounter such a situation in the future. ¡°Let me experience the pleasure of squandering.¡± Luo Feng was secretly delighted. He even looked forward to it being raised again. ¡°CEO Cheng? CEO Cheng, what¡¯s wrong? CEO Cheng!¡± The exclamation pulled Luo Feng back to reality. He came back to his senses and saw Cui Enqiao supporting the swaying CEO Cheng. Cui Enqiao¡¯s thin body could not hold President Cheng, who was more than 1.7 meters tall. The two of them were about to fall to the ground together. Luo Feng hurriedly went over to support the two of them. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Luo Feng was at a loss. Why did he faint from discussing business?! ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± Cui Enqiao had no experience. Seeing that Luo Feng had stabilized her, she dared to let go and ran to pour a glass of water. ¡°CEO Cheng, are you alright?¡± Luo Feng looked at the pale CEO Cheng, who was covered in cold sweat. He held the phone and was about to call the emergency hotline. Suddenly, CEO Cheng pressed down on his arm and said weakly, ¡°You win. You even dare to buy it for 300 million¡­¡± It turned out that he was frightened by the amount. Luo Feng did not know what expression to use for a moment. It turned out that this young man was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He was almost scared unconscious. ¡°Do you want to give me an inflated price before suing me?¡± CEO Cheng glared at Luo Feng. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that this person was suspicious. ¡°Or perhaps your money came from an improper source and you want to drag me down with you?!¡± ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Luo Feng was helpless. ¡°I¡¯m a serious businessman.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± CEO Cheng pushed Luo Feng¡¯s arm away. ¡°How can anyone do business like you? Could your money come from nowhere?!¡± Luo Feng thought about this question seriously. Even though he had put in a lot of effort, a portion of it was indeed like a strong wind blowing. He did not need to spend much effort to transfer it to his account. ¡°How much are you selling?¡± Luo Feng was only concerned about this question. ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± CEO Cheng bit his lip, looking like he was being bullied. He chickened out. This person in front of him was either a sick liar or had other schemes. Otherwise, why would he not even blink when faced with a price of 300 million yuan? That was 300 million yuan, not three yuan! ¡°I¡¯ll get someone else to talk to you.¡± CEO Cheng got up from the ground with his butt sticking out and pounced on the table to pick up the landline. Luo Feng held Boss Cheng down, seeing that the situation was not good. He smiled and said, ¡°Everything was fine just now. I didn¡¯t bargain. Let¡¯s do as you say. There¡¯s no need to call anyone else.¡± This time, the person he called over was definitely a serious businessman. He definitely wouldn¡¯t dare to ask for a sky-high price. Wouldn¡¯t he have been happy for nothing? He couldn¡¯t let CEO Cheng call someone else over! ¡°No, why are you doing this?!¡± CEO Cheng almost broke down. He had never met such a strange person during his 20 years of life. It was as if he was afraid that he would not be able to spend the money. CEO Cheng did not expect that he would encounter such a strange thing just because he wanted to act aloof. He might be involved in a strange risk. ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me the reason, I won¡¯t sell it!¡± CEO Cheng said firmly. However, the tears in his eyes made him look less strong. Luo Feng pinched his chin and seemed to be thinking seriously. ¡°If I have to say it, I like to spend money.¡± Luo Feng was not lying at all. ¡°Can you accept this reason?¡± Chapter 430 - Chapter 430 Who Can Fulfill My Small Wish To Spend Money? Chapter 430 Who Can Fulfill My Small Wish To Spend Money? Chapter 430 Who Can Fulfill My Small Wish To Spend Money? ?¡±I like to spend money.¡± Luo Feng was sincere and did not exaggerate at all. Coincidentally, Cui Enqiao, who was pouring water, heard it. She lowered her head and tried her best to hide her expression, but she still could not hide it from Luo Feng. Cui Enqiao¡¯s expression was the same as CEO Cheng¡¯s. She looked at him like he was a fool. ¡°Are you serious?¡± CEO Cheng stared into Luo Feng¡¯s eyes, wanting to see if he was playing with him. ¡°If you like to spend money so much, why don¡¯t you buy a car and luxury goods?¡± He snorted disdainfully. He felt that Luo Feng was pretending. No one would do things this way. Cui Enqiao sensed that his tone was very harsh and defended Luo Feng. ¡°CEO Cheng, we¡¯re only here to discuss business. There¡¯s no need to use such a tone with us.¡± Presumably, this CEO Cheng was not sincere in doing business. Everything seemed to offend him. However, Luo Feng was very easy-going. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I can tell that CEO Cheng is a straightforward person.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± CEO Cheng rolled his eyes. It didn¡¯t work. Luo Feng continued, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in luxury goods and all kinds of cars. It¡¯s fine as long as they are usable.¡± Cui Enqiao shrank her neck when she heard this. She recalled Luo Feng¡¯s Ferrari. A luxury car worth millions was just a ¡°usable¡± tool in his eyes. However, she also believed Luo Feng¡¯s words. This was because the clothes Luo Feng was wearing were very expensive but very low-key. If one did not deliberately observe, they would not be able to tell the brand. At first glance, they would only feel that Luo Feng had a deeper understanding of style and would not notice the value of the clothes. Seeing that CEO Cheng did not believe him, Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Personally, I think it¡¯s fine as long as the money is spent comfortably. Just like how the money spent was worth it if you feel happy buying figurines, then These are just a pile of plastic. There will be some handicraft fees at best. The rest are all character and brand premiums.¡± ¡°But as long as you think it¡¯s worth it and you like it, these things are worth so much more. My view of consumption is the same.¡± CEO Cheng was a little convinced and asked, ¡°Then what do you think is worth the money?¡± He was just short of saying, ¡°You like to be a sucker.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°As long as it¡¯s something I like, it¡¯s worth it no matter how much it costs.¡± These words were spoken freely and casually, hitting a certain spot in CEO Cheng¡¯s heart. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. Wasn¡¯t this the kind of calmness he was pursuing? ¡°Please take a seat first.¡± CEO Cheng held the table and stood up. This was the first time he had spoken to Luo Feng respectfully. Cui Enqiao did not follow their thoughts and sat on the sofa in confusion. Her working instincts allowed her to quickly get into character. All kinds of negotiation skills and reading someone from their body language went through her mind. She had to ensure Luo Feng¡¯s interests as an intermediary even though Luo Feng said that he liked to spend money. ¡°CEO Cheng, we¡­¡± ¡°By the way, why do you want to buy my nursing home?¡± CEO Cheng did not want to talk to Cui Enqiao. He only wanted to know Luo Feng¡¯s goal¡ª What did he like about this nursing home? This area was so remote, and business was not good. When CEO Cheng bought this nursing home, he didn¡¯t think it was that good. Now that someone was suddenly willing to pay a high price, he felt that this place could be in high demand again. Luo Feng asked, ¡°Then why did you buy it back then?¡± ¡°Are you asking me or am I asking you!?¡± CEO Cheng¡¯s tone was very aggressive. ¡°If you don¡¯t clear it up, I won¡¯t sell it!¡± He raised his chin arrogantly. It wasn¡¯t like Cui Enqiao hadn¡¯t met difficult people before, but she couldn¡¯t help but flare up at such a free-spirited seller. ¡°President Luo, ignore him. I can still find a better place. Let¡¯s go!¡± She pulled Luo Feng up and left as she spoke. CEO Cheng¡¯s aura instantly decreased a little. Satisfying his curiosity seemed to be more important than selling the nursing home. ¡°Wait, wait!¡± He blocked their way. ¡°Tell me properly. How about I give you a discount? This is my only request.¡± In the end, he got himself involved first. Luo Feng did not like discounts, but because he wanted to start work quickly, he returned to the sofa. ¡°Consider this deal called off if you change your mind again.¡± Cui Enqiao did not forget to consolidate the current favorable situation. CEO Cheng¡¯s heart had been lured away by Luo Feng. He only wanted to be satisfied of his curiosity quickly. Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, ¡°Because this place meets the conditions I expected. My wife is already pregnant. I want to build an exclusive hospital for her before she gives birth.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± CEO Cheng¡¯s expression was blank. ¡°Just that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that complicated to begin with,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°I just want to give the child a safe fortress before he¡¯s born.¡± ¡°Cool!¡± CEO Cheng blinked, his admiration for Luo Feng increasing. This reaction surprised Luo Feng. Cui Enqiao added, ¡°President Luo, you¡¯re really a model man. You¡¯re working so hard for your wife and children. I don¡¯t think President Cheng is a cold- hearted person. Since you¡¯re going to sell this nursing home, why don¡¯t you fulfill his wish?¡± She rolled her eyes and felt that it was not enough. She added, ¡°And it will be difficult to find someone as straightforward as our President Luo.¡± Her words hit the nail on the head. He did want to throw out the nursing home that had lost money. Moreover, after spending some time with Luo Feng, he felt that Luo Feng was a real man. It was difficult not to support such a person. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to sell you guys.¡± CEO Cheng touched his nose. ¡°Just treat it as making a friend.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Cui Enqiao quickly agreed. Then, she realized that Luo Feng was beside her and looked up to observe his expression. ¡°300 million, right?¡± Luo Feng held the card and did not give CEO Cheng a chance to go back on his word. He could not even wait for the contract. He raised his hand and was about to find a place to farm. ¡°Wait.¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± Cui Enqiao and CEO Cheng stopped Luo Feng at the same time. One was for Luo Feng¡¯s sake. She had to save as much as possible. The price of 100 million was already ridiculous. 300 million could buy all the houses in this area. The other was fearful, even though Luo Feng had already made it very clear, he was still worried that there were other reasons. ¡°90 million¡± Director Cheng forced a smile. The price he offered was too high, but he still felt a little guilty. Luo Feng frowned slightly, his expression conflicted and hesitant. This was too different from the initial discussion. 300 million became 90 million. There would be less cashback, he would feel worse than losing money. ¡°President Luo, I think 90 million is still a little high.¡± Cui Enqiao reminded Luo Feng softly, ¡°Actually, it can be lower.¡± Luo Feng shook his head. ¡°That won¡¯t do. You can¡¯t go any lower!¡± After a long time, he still did not manage to spend the money. ¡°Then I¡¯ll write the contract immediately!¡± CEO Cheng knew when to stop. He didn¡¯t want Luo Feng to lower the price, but he was also afraid that he would raise it. This was not bad. ¡°Thank you, CEO Cheng.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s voice was weak. He turned around and sat back on the sofa, not too concerned about the contract. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to have a chance to spend a lot of money. How could it disappear in the blink of an eye? Was there really no one who understood his hobby of spending money? Luo Feng was very sad. Why couldn¡¯t he spend this money¡­ Chapter 431 - Chapter 431 They Will Find Another Plan Chapter 431 They Will Find Another Plan Chapter 431 They Will Find Another Plan ?Luo Feng waited for CEO Cheng to draft a new contract after handing over the money. However, CEO Cheng got annoyed halfway through writing and called someone over. After waiting for almost 20 minutes, a man wearing glasses with the thick bottom of a beer bottle pushed open the door and entered. He looked at Luo Feng, stunned for a few seconds, before sitting in front of the computer under CEO Cheng¡¯s urging. ¡°Young Master, the nursing home was sold to this person?¡± The bespectacled man¡¯s expression was uncertain, and there was faint sweat on his forehead. ¡°Yeah, for 90 million yuan.¡± CEO Cheng was smug and didn¡¯t notice that the bespectacled man was sweating more and more. ¡°Nine¡­ 90 million¡­¡± The bespectacled man muttered to himself, as if he found it hard to accept. ¡°This place, 60 ¡­ Mhm!¡± CEO Cheng slapped the bespectacled man¡¯s mouth and covered it tightly. His expression was ferocious as he threatened him not to speak nonsense. ¡°Write your contract properly. Don¡¯t waste President Luo¡¯s time!¡± CEO Cheng put his hands on his hips and urged. ¡°President Luo? As expected¡­¡± The bespectacled man turned to look at Luo Feng again, his sallow face pale. He was about to say something when CEO Cheng stopped him with a look. However, looking at CEO Cheng¡¯s smug expression, he didn¡¯t seem to realize the seriousness of the problem. The bespectacled man was in an uncomfortable situation. The sweat on his face kept flowing down. His eyes, which were staring at the computer, darted left and right, and he looked flustered. ¡°Aiya, why did you write the most important amount wrong?¡± CEO Cheng pointed at the screen unhappily. ¡°Luo Feng has already paid us the money. You¡¯ll make President Luo doubt our professionalism!¡± ¡°The money has been paid?¡± The bespectacled man gasped, his voice trembling. Luo Feng turned his head to observe and noticed that the man¡¯s gaze was strange. He probably knew his identity and mistakenly thought that their young master was trying to scam him. ¡°Please hurry up. I still have something to do later.¡± Luo Feng urged. Now that someone who knew his stuff had come, he was probably going to lower the price again. His rebate this time would be reduced by half if he wanted to lower the price further. Luo Feng could not let things develop randomly. He had to settle it quickly. ¡°That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t delay President Luo.¡± President Cheng also urged. ¡°I see that you¡¯re usually quite fast. Why are you so useless today?¡± The bespectacled man adjusted his glasses. He quickly typed on the keyboard under the pressure of the young master. He planned to report to the boss later and he couldn¡¯t let the young master offend someone without knowing it. The contract was completed after a while. It was drawn out from the printer with the temperature of the machine. Cui Enqiao hurriedly took it and was about to look at the details when Luo Feng took it and was about to leave. ¡°President Luo, aren¡¯t you going to take a look?¡± Cui Enqiao hesitated. ¡°CEO Cheng is a straightforward person. There won¡¯t be a problem,¡± Luo Feng said. The bespectacled man would not play any tricks since he knew his identity. Luo Feng did not want to waste time here and called Cui Enqiao in preparation to leave. ¡°Wait.¡± The bespectacled man jogged up to Luo Feng. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Um, may I ask where President Luo is going next? We can contact you immediately if there are any problems.¡± The bespectacled man rubbed his hands obsequiously. His unnatural expression seemed to have taken him a lot of courage to ask. ¡°I took the contract and paid him. What else can it be?¡± Cui Enqiao felt that this person was strange. Usually, they would ask for his contact information. No one would ask where they were going next. There was definitely something fishy about this abnormality. ¡°We¡¯re going to eat next.¡± Luo Feng did not hide anything. Facing Cui Enqiao¡¯s puzzled gaze, Luo Feng asked, ¡°Recommend a quiet restaurant. My wife is coming too.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Cui Enqiao thought about it carefully. ¡°How about the Golden Orchid Restaurant? It¡¯s an old restaurant not far from your house. It has light taste and hygiene. It¡¯s definitely guaranteed, but the price is a little high.¡± As expected of a gold-medal salesperson with high potential. He had a flexible brain and was considerate. Luo Feng said to the bespectacled man, ¡°We¡¯re going to the Golden Orchid Restaurant next. you can look for us there if you find any problems.¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey.¡± CEO Cheng stopped the three of them unhappily. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡®What do you mean, ¡°problem¡±? Are you doubting my abilities?¡¯ Moreover, Luo Feng wasn¡¯t staying at the Golden Orchid Restaurant. If he just went there for dinner, it would make it seem like something would go wrong immediately. The bespectacled man was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to flare up because of the young master¡¯s identity. He could only lie. ¡°It¡¯s just to be safe, since you are making a friend.¡± He also asked for Luo Feng¡¯s business card before sending him out. The two of them found Luo Feng¡¯s car in the parking lot. Cui Enqiao then contacted Song Xue and Lei Jin, she told them the time and place to eat. Then, she followed Luo Feng to pick up Ai Tingya. ¡°President Luo, why didn¡¯t you look at the contract just now?¡± Cui Enqiao asked worriedly. ¡°The person who wrote the contract is strange. I keep feeling that he¡¯s hiding something.¡± ¡°Your senses are very accurate,¡± Luo Feng said firmly. ¡°He probably recognized me and felt that CEO Cheng was tricking me.¡± President Cheng was too young. There was a high chance that he was a rich second-generation heir with a good family background. He might have taken a sum of money from his family to start his own business seeing that he had bought a nursing home so rashly. However, there was a saying: ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of rich second- generation heirs squandering money, I¡¯m afraid of rich second- generation heirs starting businesses.¡± This loss-making nursing home had probably caused CEO Cheng to lose a lot of money. Moreover, because his family was well-off, he wanted to sell it as soon as possible, but he was also willful enough to do business based on his mood. ¡°No wonder he looks like he has nails in his butt and can¡¯t sit still.¡± Cui Enqiao understood immediately. ¡°Haha, he¡¯ll probably come to ask for a refund soon.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s name was a golden signboard in Shanghai. Chairman Xiong and him had never failed in their investments. Everyone who did business in Shanghai wanted to cooperate with Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng kept a low profile and was very independent. It was difficult to wait for an opportunity. If Cui Enqiao could recognize Luo Feng at first glance, then the bespectacled man must be able to too. Only CEO Cheng, this young and energetic young man, was arrogant and dared to make a decision before knowing whom he was dealing with. The bespectacled man was worried that he would cause trouble for the company and would definitely report it to CEO Cheng¡¯s family immediately. At the thought of this, Cui Enqiao burst out laughing. ¡°No wonder people say that they¡¯re afraid of rich second- generation heirs starting businesses. It¡¯s expensive and they tend to offend people. If not for your good temper today, I¡¯m afraid CEO Cheng would have gone home and been beaten up.¡± Luo Feng also smiled. ¡°However, if they want to ask me for a refund, there¡¯s no need.¡± ¡°Your thinking is really¡­¡± Cui Enqiao still could not understand Luo Feng¡¯s interest in spending money. Luo Feng said seriously, ¡°Money is just a tool to me. I don¡¯t have any special obsession with money.¡± ¡°But since it¡¯s for my family, of course, the more expensive, the better. The more luxurious, the better. Perhaps using money to express it is too superficial, but at the same time, it¡¯s also very straightforward.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not shallow at all!¡± Cui Enqiao went crazy with envy. ¡°90 million yuan for love is already deep enough!¡± Chapter 432 - Chapter 432 Can We Be Friends? Probably Not... Chapter 432 Can We Be Friends? Probably Not¡­ Chapter 432 Can We Be Friends? Probably Not¡­ ?Cui Enqiao took over the role of the driver after picking up Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya sat in the front passenger seat and chatted with Cui Enqiao. Luo Feng contacted the construction team and the suppliers of various equipment and facilities behind. In his vision, it would be completed within two weeks, the rest of the time would be used for recruitment and promotion. ¡°Really? So such a thing happened?¡± Ai Tingya, who was in the front passenger seat, was a little surprised to hear Cui Enqiao talk about buying a nursing home today. Cui Enqiao didn¡¯t say that Luo Feng liked to spend money. She only mentioned about CEO Cheng. ¡°That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t expect CEO Cheng to be a person who does things based on his mood. I almost thought that the business deal wouldn¡¯t work.¡± ¡°Fortunately, we managed to buy it,¡± Ai Tingya said. This meant that she was very happy that Luo Feng had one less matter on his hands. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Cui Enqiao recalled what Luo Feng had said and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously. ¡°President Ai, did you know that President Cheng was unwilling to sell it at first? It was only after President Luo said something that he relented.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Ai Tingya asked curiously. Cui Enqiao smiled and said, ¡°President Luo does everything only for a smile from the beauty. It doesn¡¯t matter how much money he wanted. Then, CEO Cheng gave in to your immortal love. Hahaha.¡± ¡°Aiya.¡± Ai Tingya let out a soft cry as her face turned red. Her reaction was really cute, and Cui Enqiao couldn¡¯t help but tease her. ¡°CEO Cheng probably didn¡¯t expect this reason. He couldn¡¯t hide his envy. Of course, I¡¯m the same.¡± If Luo Feng dared to say that he was second in terms of expressing love, no one would dare to say that he was first. Other than spending money, he usually liked to show his happiness. He wished he could let the entire world know. ¡°Sister Cui, stop teasing us.¡± Ai Tingya cupped her face like a ripe apple. ¡°I¡¯m not teasing you!¡± Cui Enqiao emphasized. ¡°I thought love was only in books until I saw the two of you. Aiyaya, I wonder when I¡¯ll meet the right man.¡± Cui Enqiao thought for a moment and felt that such a speech did not seem like her. She said, ¡°Maybe I¡¯ve already met him.¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Ai Tingya opened her eyes curiously. ¡°Is he in Shanghai? Why don¡¯t we have dinner together tonight?¡± ¡°Hahaha,¡± Cui Enqiao said cutely. ¡°I can¡¯t call out my destined one. I can only invite him out.¡± Just as Ai Tingya was curious about this person¡¯s identity, Cui Enqiao took out her phone and handed it to Ai Tingya. She said that the wallpaper was the right person for her and that she could share the picture with Ai Tingya. Ai Tingya activated it with a nervous heart. The red background almost blinded her. ¡°God of Wealth?¡± Ai Tingya looked at the wallpaper and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s not too much to say that he¡¯s the destined one. He¡¯s my lifelong pursuit!¡± Cui Enqiao laughed. ¡°If possible, I want to be with him forever.¡± ¡°Hahahaha.¡± Ai Tingya laughed until she was out of breath. ¡°Then I wish the two of you a long and happy life together.¡± The car was filled with laughter, which infected Luo Feng arranging work in the backseat. He then joined the topic of love. They spoke about Lei Jin and Song Xue. Cui Enqiao brought a very important message¡ªSong Xue had a good impression of Lei Jin. ¡°She said that Lei Jin helped her and knew his limits very well. He left a good impression on her,¡± Cui Enqiao said. ¡°Later on, she was worried that it was just a halo effect and even asked a Love Master for advice online.¡± She would only care if she liked him. ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°Lei Jin is afraid of scaring Song Xue. He has a lot of theories and doesn¡¯t dare to put them into practice.¡± ¡°We still have to help him.¡± Cui Enqiao shook her head. Unknowingly, she actually felt Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were her friends. The two of them really did not put on any airs at all. They were polite and gentle to others. Cui Enqiao left her hometown and came to Shanghai to work. The people in her work place were colleagues because there was no point in fighting openly and secretly. She only had one friend, Song Xue. ¡°If only I had two more friends.¡± Cui Enqiao thought to herself as she secretly glanced at Ai Tingya and Luo Feng. However, thinking about it carefully, the two of them were bosses who owned a company. Would they be interested in a small salesperson like her? Cui Enqiao was not confident and felt that her thoughts were too naive. After working in society for so many years, she was no longer as innocent as when she was a student. After thinking about it carefully, she decided to forget it, lest she made a fool of herself. The car stopped outside the Golden Orchid Restaurant. There were two thick Roman columns at the entrance. The two people waiting in front were conspicuous. Song Xue was still wearing her white coat and looking at her phone. Lei Jin stood at the side and stared at Song Xue¡¯s face silently. After the three of them parked the car, it was easy for them to meet up. When Lei Jin saw that Luo Feng had arrived, he hurriedly welcomed him. ¡°I¡¯ll suffocate to death if you don¡¯t come!¡± ¡°If you want to go to the toilet, go quickly,¡± Luo Feng teased. ¡°There¡¯s no need to wait for me.¡± ¡°No!¡± Lei Jin¡¯s face turned red. ¡°I¡¯m not going to the toilet. I¡­ I don¡¯t know what to say to Song Xue. Look at her. She can¡¯t forget her experiment no matter where she goes.¡± Song Xue leaned against the pillar like a statue. She did not notice that someone had come or that Lei Jin had left her side. Song Xue would definitely get first place if she played the wooden dummy game. ¡°Is this her usual state?¡± Ai Tingya asked Cui Enqiao. ¡°More or less. I don¡¯t even know how she managed to do things as if no one was around,¡± Cui Enqiao said. She stepped forward and pressed Song Xue¡¯s phone. Song Xue¡¯s gaze first focused before becoming unfocused. In the end, she looked at the few people standing in front of her as if she had woken up from a dream. ¡°When did you guys arrive?¡± Song Xue smiled tiredly. ¡°I just arrived.¡± Luo Feng pushed Lei Jin. ¡°Let¡¯s go in first. Otherwise, there won¡¯t be any seats later.¡± Lei Jin floated to Song Xue¡¯s side. He turned around and saw that Luo Feng and the other two had already entered the shop. Song Xue and him were much closer all of a sudden. ¡°Well, let¡¯s go in together.¡± Lei Jin¡¯s voice became much softer. ¡°Okay.¡± Song Xue smiled. She took two steps and said, ¡°By the way, if I don¡¯t notice you next time, you can call me directly. You don¡¯t have to wait all the time.¡± Is this considered permission being granted? Lei Jin cherished every step of their relationship. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll try not to disturb you,¡± he said with a smile. He lowered his hand and wanted to hold Song Xue¡¯s hand, but after thinking about it, he was too embarrassed to do so. He moved a little closer to Song Xue so that the two of them could get closer. Just as Lei Jin was feeling the fragrance of the flowers on Song Xue¡¯s clothes, two people suddenly ran over from behind. ¡°Excuse me! Excuse me!¡± One didn¡¯t know if they did it on purpose or not, but they just had to pass between Lei Jin and Song Xue on such a wide road. The sudden force pushed Lei Jin far away and he fell down the steps in an ugly posture. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± The two of them shouted and ran away without looking back. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Song Xue hurriedly ran over to help Lei Jin up. ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Lei Jin got up but he didn¡¯t dare to look up at her out of embarrassment. Chapter 433 - Chapter 433 Tracking Him Down To Return The Money You Have to Accept It! Chapter 433 Tracking Him Down To Return The Money You Have to Accept It! Chapter 433 Tracking Him Down To Return The Money You Have to Accept It! ?Just a second ago, Lei Jin felt that it was too embarrassing to fall on his butt, making him unable to raise his head. The next second, Song Xue took the initiative to support him and let him lean on her. ¡°I actually didn¡¯t fall¡­¡± Lei Jin¡¯s words were blocked by the fragrance on Song Xue¡¯s body. Song Xue didn¡¯t smell good. She often stayed in the laboratory and basically didn¡¯t use perfume. The smell of shampoo on her hair and the smell of disinfectant on her white coat really didn¡¯t smell good. However, Lei Jin liked it. He leaned against Song Xue as if he had just come out of the operating theater. By the time he reacted, Luo Feng and the other two had already disappeared. The two of them looked around but couldn¡¯t find anyone. They could only go to the front desk and ask. Coincidentally, they saw the two people who had bumped into them at the front desk. Lei Jin went from a damsel in distress to an angry man. He valiantly stepped forward to argue. It was fine if he was hit, but these people ran away directly without apologizing. It was too infuriating. ¡°Hey, you guys¡­¡± ¡°May I ask which private room the guest Luo Feng is in?¡± Their words made Lei Jin stop talking. ¡°The Emerald Bamboo Room,¡± the receptionist replied. The two of them rushed into the corridor like arrows released from a bow. Lei Jin thought to himself that this was bad. The two of them were in a hurry and were looking for Luo Feng. Something big must have happened. ¡°Let¡¯s go too!¡± He held Song Xue¡¯s hand and followed closely behind the two of them. The two of them acted strangely. They ran to the entrance of the Emerald Bamboo Room and quietly opened a crack in the door. Perhaps they had seen the person inside clearly. They looked at each other and nodded. Then, they turned around and walked past Lei Jin and Song Xue. They came and went like the wind without any hesitation. They were decisive and had a clear goal. In addition, the two of them were wearing sunglasses, revealing half of their faces without any expression. Lei Jin felt that there was definitely something going on here, so he hurriedly pulled Song Xue into the Emerald Bamboo Room. The three people in the room sat around the table. The first thing they noticed was the two of them holding hands. Cui Enqiao jeered, ¡°Yo, in the short time that you disappeared, you got so close that you¡¯re holding hands. Hahaha.¡± Lei Jin couldn¡¯t care less. He recounted what he had just seen before he could even catch his breath. ¡°Luo Feng, they don¡¯t look friendly. Did you offend someone?¡± Lei Jin felt a chill down his spine. Thinking about how Luo Feng was doing business in Shanghai, he would definitely be envied at such a young age. The two people just now looked like they were here to spy on him. He wondered who they would inform. ¡°Luo Feng, think about it carefully.¡± Ai Tingya was also very worried. ¡°It¡¯s probably not a small matter for them to chase you down here.¡± There were five people in the room, and four of them were worried about Luo Feng¡¯s safety. ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Luo Feng was very calm himself. ¡°I¡¯ve always been kind to others, and I¡¯ve never done anything to hurt anyone.¡± He really couldn¡¯t remember. The last person he offended was Kou Zhiyuan. However, he deserved it. Moreover, he heard that he had already left Shanghai. He wouldn¡¯t come back to find trouble now, right? The atmosphere in the private room became heavier and heavier. Luo Feng had no idea but he wasn¡¯t worried. Who would dare to seek revenge in a restaurant in broad daylight? Luo Feng could not think of anything, so he decided not to think about it. ¡°Let¡¯s order first. I¡¯m already hungry.¡± Since the person involved had already said that everything was fine, the others could only be anxious. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats. Lei Jin, who was away from the door, pushed Song Xue in. Then, he walked to the door alone and mentally prepared himself for a short while before opening the door. ¡°Have you chosen your dishes?¡± The waiter raised his head and looked at Lei Jin, who had an ugly expression on his face. Other than Luo Feng, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was a false alarm¡­ ¡°Not yet,¡± Lei Jin said. ¡°We¡¯ll call you when we¡¯re done ordering.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The waiter took a step back. ¡°By the way, Mr. Luo, your friend is here.¡± Everyone turned around again. There was no waiter at the door, only a man in sunglasses. Lei Jin immediately distanced himself from the door and retreated to Luo Feng¡¯s side. He reminded him softly, ¡°He¡¯s one of the people who came to investigate just now. He¡¯s indeed back!¡± Luo Feng suppressed his voice. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Go to the others.¡± Lei Jin and Cui Enqiao¡¯s first reaction was to protect Ai Tingya. They knew that she was pregnant. If anything really happened, she would be the focus of protection. Song Xue walked to Luo Feng¡¯s side. ¡°I¡¯ll block any blow for you,¡± Song Xue said. ¡°My thesis is running out of time. I want to delay it.¡± Being beaten up and sent to the hospital was definitely a very legitimate reason. Even if the mentor¡¯s heart was made of stone, he would still give in for a few days. Luo Feng was shocked by her reason, but he did not stop her. He only silently took a step forward and stood in front of Song Xue. He couldn¡¯t really let Song Xue suffer for him. Not to mention that she was the person Lei Jin liked, even if she was a normal girl, he couldn¡¯t really watch her get beaten up. The five people in the room got into position. The man in sunglasses at the door moved aside and lowered his head. Right on the heels of that, a man wearing a thumb-thick gold chain walked in. He had a cigar in his mouth and a fierce expression on his face. He glanced at the five of them with half- opened eyes before his gaze landed on Luo Feng. ¡°You¡¯re Luo Feng?¡± the man asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Feng was neither servile nor overbearing. Even though he could see from the door that the corridor was already filled with people, he was not afraid of the shadows or the other party¡¯s numbers. ¡°Come see if it¡¯s him?¡± the man shouted out the door. As soon as he finished speaking, two people with hunched backs walked in, their faces filled with embarrassment. ¡°CEO Cheng?¡± Luo Feng was surprised. ¡°Why are you here?¡± The man¡¯s mouth twitched after hearing Luo Feng address CEO Cheng. He endured his temper and pushed CEO Cheng forward. CEO Cheng did not dare to resist at all. He raised his head and the left side of his face was red and swollen. It looked bigger than the right side of his face. Clearly, he had been hit. When he saw Luo Feng, he turned his face away and nodded at the man, looking very aggrieved. ¡°Yes.¡± The man squeezed out a sound from his throat and did not even look at CEO Cheng. Luo Feng instantly understood what was going on. He waved his hand to get the others to lower their guard. ¡°Hello.¡± Luo Feng extended his hand and revealed a friendly expression. ¡°It¡¯s our first time meeting. Please guide me.¡± Just as Lei Jin and the others were at a loss, the man changed his expression and smiled. He gently shook Luo Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°I came in a hurry and disturbed you. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± After putting down his hand, the man pointed at CEO Cheng and said, ¡°I¡¯m his father. This kid is very bad. He actually dares to call himself ¡®CEO Cheng¡¯.¡± With CEO Cheng¡¯s young age, he was indeed a little reckless. ¡°Hurry up and apologize! If you are the CEO, then what should I call myself?!¡± The man swung his hand and raised his palm to slap the back of CEO Cheng¡¯s head again. Luo Feng quickly changed the topic. ¡°CEO Cheng Junior is young and promising. He knows how to do business. CEO Cheng Senior, calm down.¡± These words successfully distinguished the father and son. CEO Cheng Senior¡¯s expression softened a little, and his anger dissipated by more than half. Chapter 435 - Chapter 435 Dad’s Conflicted Thoughts, Hard to Detect Chapter 435 Dad¡¯s Conflicted Thoughts, Hard to Detect Chapter 435 Dad¡¯s Conflicted Thoughts, Hard to Detect ?The dishes were served one after another. Everyone¡¯s stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. When they saw the delicacies that looked, smelled, and tasted good, they could not hold back anymore. ¡°Eat, eat. You must have been hungry long ago,¡± Luo Feng said. As the host, he picked up a piece of fish belly for Ai Tingya first. Cui Enqiao, who could read the atmosphere, immediately cheered. ¡°Aiya, President Luo really dotes on his wife.¡± It made everyone laugh. The originally gloomy atmosphere became more relaxed, but it was quickly pulled down by the stern-faced CEO Cheng Senior. He knew that he could not convince Luo Feng so he threw a fierce gaze in front of CEO Cheng. His bell-sized eyes could speak. ¡°Hurry up and settle it! Otherwise, you¡¯ll be in trouble!¡± CEO Cheng had just picked up a piece of meat and was about to put it into his mouth when he inexplicably shivered. The meat fell into his bowl and he lost all his mood. He pursed his lips and put down his chopsticks helplessly. He turned to look at Luo Feng. ¡°CEO Cheng Senior, why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± Luo Feng noticed the exchange of glances between the father and son and took the initiative to attack. ¡°Are you still conflicted about what happened just now?¡± It did affect his mood after this farce. CEO Cheng Senior knew that his words were useless, so he let CEO Cheng handle it. CEO Cheng suddenly became sensible and his attitude became much more humble. ¡°President Luo, I was insensible previously and made a random offer to affect your plan.¡± ¡°I sincerely apologize to you. Let¡¯s follow the procedure.¡± Luo Feng first let out a long sigh, confusing everyone. It had been a long time since he had used his specialty. He felt a little rusty. Luo Feng said, ¡°CEO Cheng, didn¡¯t you say you wanted to be friends? Are you going back on your word now because you think I¡¯m not a good friend?¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Facing CEO Cheng Senior¡¯s death glare, CEO Cheng¡¯s hair stood on end. He hurriedly waved his hand and explained, ¡°I cherish President Luo as a friend. It¡¯s my fault for doing things unkindly. I want to redeem myself.¡± The three of them had similar excuses. CEO Cheng Senior insisted on returning the money so that he could work with Luo Feng in the future and not be so ugly. That was because he didn¡¯t believe in verbal promises, especially words spoken at the dinner table. It wasn¡¯t his first day of doing business, so how could he not know how to say the right words? Or rather, it was embarrassing to believe the right words. Coincidentally, his biological son believed it. It was better to tie the relationship with practical benefits. CEO Cheng Senior wanted to settle the scores before establishing a new partnership. Otherwise, he would be easily manipulated if he was at a disadvantage. However, he did not know that Luo Feng¡¯s thoughts were completely opposite to his. Luo Feng did not like to beat around the bush. Working with someone as straightforward as CEO Cheng was open and fast, and very efficient. Unfortunately, CEO Cheng did not have much capital in his hands, and it was all controlled by CEO Cheng Senior. Thinking of this, Luo Feng suddenly had a plan. He said, ¡°CEO Cheng, given the current situation, you can¡¯t convince me, and I can¡¯t convince you, right?¡± CEO Cheng thought to himself, ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s all because of that stubborn old man. He didn¡¯t even eat.¡± However, he did not dare to show it on his face. He repeated with a bitter smile, ¡°CEO Luo, please consider it carefully.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we cooperate?¡± Luo Feng replied. He thought about it very clearly. CEO Cheng¡¯s qualifications were mediocre and could not compare to Xie Yan¡¯s. He lacked experience and capital, but his family¡¯s situation could completely make up for this shortcoming. Luo Feng was originally considering the collaborators of the hospital. CEO Cheng Senior¡¯s family indeed had the strength. His solution was completely on par with what CEO Cheng Senior had in mind, CEO Cheng Senior was immediately overjoyed. To be safe, CEO Cheng Senior pretended to be reserved and calmed down. He coughed lightly to break the awkwardness and said, ¡°I wonder what kind of cooperation President Luo is talking about?¡± ¡°But I still think it¡¯s better to not mix things up.¡± After saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate and added. Luo Feng said, ¡°I know your concerns. These two things don¡¯t conflict. Listen to me in detail first.¡± No one expected the class to start on the spot. Luo Feng was famous after all. A few words were comparable to half a month of other people¡¯s lessons with regards to his investment insights. It was indeed better to listen to a wise man¡¯s words than to study for 10 years. Other than Ai Tingya, who was used to it and continued to replenish her nutritions, the others decisively put down their chopsticks and craned their ears, waiting to be enlightened. Luo Feng said, ¡°I happen to have the idea of opening a chain hospital, but I have too many things on hand. I¡¯m busy, so I want to find a partner.¡± ¡°I heard that your family is in real estate. I wonder if you¡¯re interested in opening a new industry.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± CEO Cheng Senior choked for a moment and suddenly became kind and amiable. Everyone knew that the pharmaceutical industry was very profitable. Even if the world ended and human civilization was destroyed, hospitals would still be the last to close down. Didn¡¯t CEO Cheng Senior want to do it? Of course, he wanted to, only a fool would not agree to the legendary Luo Feng taking the initiative to cooperate. CEO Cheng Senior almost couldn¡¯t suppress the smile on his face. He took a deep breath and pulled back his last bit of rationality. ¡°May I ask, what¡¯s the reason for working with us?¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°Because I think CEO Cheng is not bad. Even though he¡¯s a little young, there is a characteristic about him that we can¡¯t compare to.¡± When CEO Cheng heard this, he was so touched that he almost cried. He looked at Luo Feng as if he was looking at a prodigy. He wished he could rush out of the stable immediately and kick the ignorant horseman far away. ¡°President Luo¡­¡± CEO Cheng sniffed, not knowing what to say. When CEO Cheng Senior saw how useless he was, he got angry. He snorted to remind him to restrain himself. ¡°President Luo, don¡¯t worry about him. Let¡¯s continue.¡± CEO Cheng Senior acted like he was the head of the family. He was in charge of all the small matters in the family. Even if CEO Cheng was already an adult, he could not escape his father¡¯s control. Luo Feng saw all of this and could not help but pity this person. ¡°CEO Cheng Senior, I¡¯m very willing to work with you, but it seems like you¡¯re not willing to let go. To be honest, this makes things a little difficult for me.¡± Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what Luo Feng meant. ¡°This¡­¡± CEO Cheng Senior was speechless and did not know how to answer. In his eyes, CEO Cheng was still young and worried about letting him fly alone. Moreover, CEO Cheng had taken the money to start a business and bought a nursing home that was about to close down. This made CEO Cheng Senior speechless. He did not have the conditions to let go at all. However, he could also tell that Luo Feng was not joking. He really had the intention to cooperate! For a moment, CEO Cheng Senior doubted his judgment. Had he misjudged his son, or had Luo Feng misjudged him? Why was he suddenly willing to cooperate with this kid? ¡°President Luo, since you¡¯ve already said so much, there¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t say,¡± CEO Cheng Senior said. ¡°It¡¯s mainly because my son is disappointing and doesn¡¯t deserve your favor. President Luo, please consider carefully about the cooperation.¡± He seemed to be very worried that his son would cause trouble. Even if he rejected the partnership that he had yearned for, he did not want to let CEO Cheng fly on his own. Chapter 436 - Chapter 436 Sharp Observation, CEO Cheng’s Merits Chapter 436 Sharp Observation, CEO Cheng¡¯s Merits Chapter 436 Sharp Observation, CEO Cheng¡¯s Merits ?CEO Cheng Senior¡¯s attitude was very strange. He did not want to let CEO Cheng go out and fight in the world even if he rejected Luo Feng¡¯s cooperation. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to meet someone who was sure of his ability, but he was actually rejected? CEO Cheng had long been dissatisfied with his father¡¯s Crowd Control. This time, he decided to resist! ¡°Dad! Why don¡¯t you believe me?!¡± CEO Cheng stood up and the stool behind him fell to the ground with a loud sound. Bang! CEO Cheng Senior slammed the table and stood up aggressively. ¡°How can you talk to your old man like that!¡± He had a fierce appearance to begin with, and his round eyes were like the vajra in a temple, as if he wanted to eat someone. Not to mention CEO Cheng, everyone else trembled when they saw this. ¡°CEO Cheng Senior, CEO Cheng, let¡¯s talk things out,¡± Cui Enqiao advised. CEO Cheng Senior was also very helpless. He turned to Luo Feng and said, ¡°President Luo, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe him as his father. A few months ago, he clamored for independence, so I gave him a sum of money. In the end, everyone saw what happened to it.¡± Even CEO Cheng Senior felt embarrassed speaking of this. He turned his face to the side and sighed non-stop. His entire body swelled up like a pufferfish, and there was anger in his stomach. CEO Cheng was also angry and said indignantly, ¡°How can anyone succeed in one go? Didn¡¯t you take a detour when you were young too?¡± Lei Jin, who had been unable to interrupt, really wanted to tell CEO Cheng that Luo Feng had succeeded in an instant. Moreover, ever since high school, he had been victorious in every battle. There was nothing he could not complete. CEO Cheng Senior had the same thought. He raised his chin and said, ¡°The person who succeeded in an instant is sitting in front of you. If you even read the news a little, you will know President Luo!¡± He would not sell the nursing home at such a high price. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. CEO Cheng Senior simply did not want to speak. CEO Cheng glanced at Luo Feng and closed his mouth again, not asking for a rebuff. ¡°So you¡¯re not going to support me?¡± CEO Cheng¡¯s tone was resolute. The atmosphere in the private room instantly dropped to freezing point. Other than Ai Tingya, who was not involved in the special situation, everyone else held their breaths. CEO Cheng Senior did not answer. His bell-like eyes glared at CEO Cheng. In the past, he had always used this method to intimidate his son. He had never failed. Unexpectedly, CEO Cheng was determined this time. He said to Luo Feng, ¡°President Luo, if you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll be an employee of your company in the future. Just call me Junior Cheng!¡± ¡°You!¡± CEO Cheng Senior was furious. ¡°Can¡¯t your family¡¯s company lock you up?¡± CEO Cheng was unmoved. Other than Luo Feng, there was no one else in his eyes. ¡°Just give me a salary as you see fit. I don¡¯t want insurance or anything. I just want to learn something different from you and not be locked up at home all day!¡± ¡°Good! Good!¡± CEO Cheng Senior panted heavily like an overcharge bellow. ¡°If you have the ability, go out and don¡¯t come back!¡± The father and son were at loggerheads, neither giving in to the other. It was not easy for outsiders to persuade either. Seeing this, Ai Tingya leaned close to Luo Feng¡¯s ear. ¡°It seems to have intensified their conflict. That¡¯s not good, right?¡± Luo Feng stroked her head. ¡°Continue eating. I¡¯ll settle it.¡± He knew that the last thing she should do while being pregnant was to worry, so he picked up some food for Ai Tingya. ¡°CEO Cheng Senior, let me say something that outsiders shouldn¡¯t say. I think you can try to believe CEO Cheng,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°I think CEO Cheng has a strength that none of us have.¡± ¡°What?¡± CEO Cheng Senior could not be bothered to be angry and asked curiously. He was very concerned about CEO Cheng, but because of his father¡¯s authority, he didn¡¯t know how to express himself and only knew how to teach him a lesson. If there was no one to help with their awkward relationship, the knot in their hearts would only grow bigger. ¡°He¡¯s meticulous,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°I haven¡¯t known CEO Cheng for long. This is what I think is the most impressive about him.¡± ¡°Really?¡± CEO Cheng Senior asked, ¡°How can you tell?¡± Not only CEO Cheng Senior, even CEO Cheng himself did not realize it. Luo Feng said, ¡°Then let me ask a question first. Can you tell that my wife is pregnant?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t tell.¡± CEO Cheng Senior shook his head and said, ¡°Congratulations.¡± It was normal that he couldn¡¯t tell. Ai Tingya¡¯s belly was a little obvious, so it wouldn¡¯t be obvious if she wore looser clothes. Moreover, she had been sitting the entire time, so it was very difficult to notice. Luo Feng continued, ¡°But CEO Cheng could tell that when he ordered, he specially took care of my wife. Am I right?¡± CEO Cheng replied, ¡°I do. Because you mentioned it once before, I remembered it. Actually, when I saw the three women in the private room, I hesitated too.¡± The judgment process was a little complicated. As the circle was a little chaotic, no one could confirm that the woman beside Luo Feng was his wife. In the past, they had seen people bring beautiful secretaries out to socialize when their wives were pregnant. Moreover, Ai Tingya was too beautiful. If one had not seen her with their own eyes, it would be difficult to associate her with the valiant and decisive female CEO. When they entered, CEO Cheng saw two people protecting Ai Tingya. Even though it was impossible to tell if she was pregnant with her figure, the woman who was valued so much must be Luo Feng¡¯s pregnant wife. After a reasonable analysis, CEO Cheng confirmed Ai Tingya¡¯s identity. Everyone was very impressed after listening to his explanation. CEO Cheng smiled a little after he was being affirmed. ¡°So it turned out that you even took a detour.¡± Luo Feng smiled and said, ¡°CEO Cheng is very observant. Why don¡¯t you guess the identities of the others?¡± CEO Cheng looked at Lei Jin and Song Xue. ¡°This is a medical student.¡± CEO Cheng pointed at Song Xue. ¡°She¡¯s wearing a white coat, but there¡¯s no specific logo. How can you be sure that she¡¯s a medical student, not a doctor?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°It¡¯s because of her gaze. It¡¯s filled with bitterness and pressure, as if she hasn¡¯t slept enough.¡± CEO Cheng said whatever he saw. ¡°And I saw her charge forward just now.¡± If she was a doctor who had already entered society, she must have a certain amount of social experience. When they encountered someone looking for trouble, their first reaction would be to call the police for help. Only silly students would think of using themselves as a shield. Clap, clap, clap¡ª Clap, clap, clap¡ª Applause rang out in the room. Not only could CEO Cheng analyze, he could also convince people with every piece of evidence. ¡°What about this person?¡± Luo Feng pointed at Lei Jin. ¡°This should be President Luo¡¯s friend.¡± President Cheng was confident and the smile on his face widened. ¡°Because he¡¯s very relaxed with you and he was protecting your wife just now.¡± Only a true good brother would be at ease to entrust his family to the other party. Lei Jin cheered loudly. Encouraged, CEO Cheng couldn¡¯t stop himself for a moment. ¡°And your friend is still chasing after this medical student. I saw it all. He¡¯s been secretly moving the stool.¡± Lei Jin¡¯s face turned red as if he had been slapped. CEO Cheng was indeed telling the truth. This was irrefutable. However, Lei Jin wasn¡¯t ready to be exposed. He suddenly didn¡¯t dare to face Song Xue. Luo Feng watched the commotion and smiled slyly. He raised his voice and said, ¡°That¡¯s indeed the case. CEO Cheng is really good at judging people.¡± Chapter 437 - Chapter 437 Resolving Family Conflicts, Pity The Parents’ Hearts Chapter 437 Resolving Family Conflicts, Pity The Parents¡¯ Hearts Chapter 437 Resolving Family Conflicts, Pity The Parents¡¯ Hearts ?Making fun of young couples was probably something that everyone liked to do, especially people like Lei Jin and Song Xue, who were nearly together. It felt good to help unveil their true status. Luo Feng and CEO Cheng echoed each other, and the atmosphere at the dining table became much more relaxed. Back to the main topic, CEO Cheng said to CEO Cheng Senior, ¡°Dad, look, President Luo has already acknowledged me. What else do you have to say?¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± CEO Cheng Senior snorted in disdain. ¡°What can this little bit of cleverness prove? President Luo can see it, which means that he¡¯s more meticulous. You actually became more arrogant after he praised you.¡± In his eyes, Luo Feng was someone else¡¯s child. He was good no matter how one looked at it. However, the one in his house was like a biscuit that had been bitten by a dog. His merits were really not enough. ¡°You¡¯re looking down on me!¡± CEO Cheng was furious. ¡°When have you ever praised me?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because you didn¡¯t do well. Otherwise, I would have praised you!¡± CEO Cheng Senior was also angry. ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t be angry,¡± the person beside him advised. This father and son had explosive tempers. It seemed difficult to adjust, but Luo Feng knew that as long as he made things clear, it would be fine. He understood CEO Cheng Senior¡¯s worries even though he had never been a father. When the two of them calmed down, Luo Feng said, ¡°CEO Cheng Senior, you¡¯re a good person. I know that it¡¯s not that you¡¯re worried about CEO Cheng, but you¡¯re just worried that he¡¯ll cause trouble for others.¡± CEO Cheng Senior might not have realized the reason for his persistence, but Luo Feng¡¯s words enlightened him. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± CEO Cheng Senior sighed and said, ¡°This child hasn¡¯t suffered much since he was young. He¡¯s proud and arrogant. If he wanted to cause trouble for his family like this time, I naturally wouldn¡¯t say anything. But he cheated you, President Luo. I¡¯m really¡­¡± A burly man covered his face in shame. Even though CEO Cheng was not convinced, he could not find anything to refute. Luo Feng looked at the two of them and continued, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this. I think CEO Cheng knows his limits. It¡¯s just that he can¡¯t withstand his youth.¡± As CEO Cheng Senior listened to more and more explanations, he felt even more ashamed. Luo Feng was too good. He had been cheated of money and was still willing to help put in a good word for him. CEO Cheng Senior was used to seeing the coldness of the world. He was a little afraid of Luo Feng¡¯s sincerity. ¡°President Luo, I know you¡¯re a good person, but don¡¯t put in a good word for him. I¡¯m worried that he¡¯ll really take it as a tonic,¡± CEO Cheng Senior said. The others also felt that it was a little far-fetched. The persuasiveness was too weak. However, Luo Feng said, ¡°I offered 300 million before we settled on this price of 90 million. CEO Cheng didn¡¯t take up the offer at that time.¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, CEO Cheng knows that the price is too high. He also knows that I know. He wants to give his family an explanation other than my persistence. So in the end, we made a deal at 90 million.¡± CEO Cheng Senior was puzzled. ¡°Explanation to his family?¡± ¡°He probably wants to prove that he didn¡¯t cause trouble for his family. He can earn back all the money he lost,¡± Luo Feng said. Everyone understood it now that he had said it. ¡°Eat, eat. If you don¡¯t eat now, the food will get cold.¡± Ai Tingya called out to the others. Cui Enqiao was already hungry. Her appetite improved after watching this father-son debate. She asked the waiter for a large bowl of rice. Lei Jin¡¯s intentions were exposed. Not only did Song Xue not show any resistance, she even calmly accepted it. She picked up a bamboo shoot for Lei Jin, who was so happy that he couldn¡¯t close his mouth for a long time. Even CEO Cheng calmed down. He poured himself a glass of baijiu¡ªand took small sips. Only CEO Cheng Senior still couldn¡¯t figure it out. He held a pair of chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other, staring at the dishes in front of him without moving. ¡°Will it work?¡± Ai Tingya was a little uncertain. ¡°It looks like CEO Cheng Senior is still unwilling.¡± ¡°Trust me, CEO Cheng Senior is a smart person. He does everything for CEO Cheng¡¯s own good. He knows which is the best choice,¡± Luo Feng said. Working with CEO Cheng was equivalent to working with CEO Cheng Senior. If both sides joined forces, they would definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. CEO Cheng Senior valued his son so much and was very worried. He would definitely use all his resources to support CEO Cheng. The atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed. Everyone¡¯s focus shifted from the father and son to Lei Jin and Song Xue. Then, they talked about Ai Tingya¡¯s hard work being pregnant. When the meal was almost over, CEO Cheng Senior¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He took a look and said to Luo Feng, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President Luo. There¡¯s an urgent matter at the company. I have to return to the company first.¡± ¡°It¡¯s important. Let¡¯s meet again next time.¡± Luo Feng stood up to send him off. CEO Cheng Senior glanced at the motionless CEO Cheng. ¡°Aren¡¯t you coming with me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already decided to follow President Luo,¡± CEO Cheng said softly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about me.¡± ¡°Hmph, do whatever you want.¡± CEO Cheng Senior¡¯s face was ashen as he flicked his sleeves and left. Luo Feng followed him out to send him off. As soon as he walked out of the private room, CEO Cheng Senior could not hold it in anymore. His straight back was hunched as he kept rubbing the flesh on his face. ¡°CEO Cheng Senior, are you alright?¡± Luo Feng asked worriedly. ¡°Is it hypoglycemia?¡± ¡°No.¡± CEO Cheng Senior waved his hand. He turned around and looked at Luo Feng with sincerity in his eyes. ¡°There are some things that I can¡¯t say just now¡­ President Luo, I want to confirm if what you said just now is true?¡± Luo Feng said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. I never lie.¡± ¡°Then¡­ I¡¯ll leave my disappointing son to you.¡± CEO Cheng Senior was a little embarrassed. ¡°But please forgive him. Don¡¯t only look at how tall he is. He doesn¡¯t know much.¡± It sounded a little awkward. What Luo Feng wanted was the resources behind CEO Cheng. CEO Cheng Senior¡¯s request made Luo Feng at a loss. CEO Cheng Senior added, ¡°I won¡¯t contact him for the next two days and leave him hanging. If he needs anything in the future, you can inform him and tell him to come back and look for me.¡± He was still soft-hearted as a father even though he was ruthless in business. Luo Feng smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll convey the message truthfully. However, I think it¡¯s better for you to tell him personally. I believe CEO Cheng will definitely understand your good intentions.¡± ¡°Forget it, forget it.¡± CEO Cheng Senior smiled bitterly and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s been so many years. I¡¯m really not good at this kind of thing.¡± Some people were very strange. He would not think twice before shedding his own blood, but crying would kill him. Luo Feng did not understand in the past. He did not understand why he could not speak properly. He understood a little now that he was about to become a father. Perhaps this was implicit love, concentrating everything into action and didn¡¯t know how to describe it. Luo Feng was touched, but he felt that this method could be improved. It could reduce many conflicts if it was explained clearly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry if he¡¯s with me.¡± Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, ¡°Our company has a rule to call the family every two days. Every employee has to strictly abide by this, so when he calls you, don¡¯t find it annoying when that happens, okay?¡± CEO Cheng Senior paused for a moment and smiled. ¡°President Luo, you¡¯re really a very good person.¡± Chapter 439 - Chapter 439 Moving With Emotion And Reason, Touching Past Chapter 439 Moving With Emotion And Reason, Touching Past Chapter 439 Moving With Emotion And Reason, Touching Past ?Luo Feng was so frightened by the results of Junior Cheng¡¯s studies that he broke out in cold sweat. This kid really knew how to choose. He just had to choose the one he must not learn. If CEO Cheng Senior found out about this, he would find a small black room and lock him up. ¡°This is not a good habit. You definitely can¡¯t learn it!¡± Luo Feng was rarely serious, and his expression could not help but become stern. ¡°Quickly forget about this and don¡¯t tell your father.¡± Junior Cheng was stunned by Luo Feng¡¯s attitude. He was a little surprised and helpless. ¡°Why¡­ why?¡± Junior Cheng¡¯s eyes widened in curiosity. ¡°But you looked really handsome when you spend a lot of money. Moreover, since it¡¯s not a good habit, why don¡¯t you think of changing it? Besides, I think Sister Tingya and the others are very used to it.¡± Luo Feng was speechless. This was indeed not a bad habit for him. Instead, it was Luo Feng¡¯s initial and final way of making money. However, who could be as lucky as him to obtain a special skill after being reborn? ¡°In short, this is not something ordinary people can withstand. You can¡¯t learn it.¡± Luo Feng could only brush it off. ¡°Why?!¡± Junior Cheng was thirsty for knowledge. Young people always had the spirit to get to the bottom of things. Luo Feng knew that if he did not explain clearly today, he would probably not be able to convince this silly kid. His mind raced as he thought of a brilliant explanation. ¡°That¡¯s because you don¡¯t have faith.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s voice was low, and he became serious. ¡°What faith?¡± Junior Cheng didn¡¯t understand. ¡°My grandmother believes in Buddhism. I can also believe in her.¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡± Luo Feng shook his head. ¡°Young man, faith is not something you can buy just because you want to. The faith I¡¯m talking about is the goal of my life. It¡¯s the motivation for me to work hard.¡± This profound appearance really moved Junior Cheng. ¡°What is your faith? Can you tell me?¡± Junior Cheng¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration as he chased after Luo Feng and asked. ¡°Ahem.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°My faith is love¡­¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Before Luo Feng could finish speaking, Junior Cheng rolled his eyes and prepared to leave. He only felt that Luo Feng was fooling him. Either that or he had watched too many television dramas and it sounded a little stupid. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Luo Feng thought to himself that he had been brewing for so long. Why didn¡¯t he give him face? ¡°President Luo, I haven¡¯t believed in love since junior high school.¡± Junior Cheng said disdainfully, ¡°Can your lying skills be more advanced? You said that your pure love for spending money is more credible than love. Really¡­¡± ¡°Stop.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s tone was straightforward. He quickly walked in front of Junior Cheng to stop him. He was already prepared. This time, he had to listen even if he didn¡¯t want to. ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you. There have been so many beautiful stories in history about being angry for a beauty. Could it be that modern society is no longer popular?¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°If not for Tingya, I might not have my current achievements.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Junior Cheng was skeptical. It wasn¡¯t like he hadn¡¯t seen friends who were desperate for love. There was a buddy by his side who broke up with his girlfriend and was heartbroken. In the middle of the night, he got drunk and wailed outside his girlfriend¡¯s building. In the end, he was splashed with a basin of cold water. In just a few days, he had a new lover and promised that the same thing would happen. Junior Cheng only felt that it was ridiculous. Those who worked hard for love only existed in novels and comics. Luo Feng recalled the past. ¡°At that time, Tingya and I were still in high school. She told me that her wish was for everyone to be happy. At that time, I was very troubled. Happiness was too abstract. How could it be realized?¡± ¡°Later on, the orphanage faced an economic crisis. Our first milk tea shop was born because of this.¡± ¡°From then on, all the employees in our company received better treatment than other places. Sister Tingya has been frugal all her life and hates waste the most. She¡¯s especially generous in terms of employee treatment.¡± Sounds ridiculous, does it? However, Junior Cheng understood Luo Feng¡¯s growth and rise. He was not lying at all. Luo Feng had mentioned signing a contract to buy insurance even for his awkward position as an apprentice. ¡°Are you happy just because you have money?¡± Junior Cheng¡¯s attitude changed as he thought seriously. ¡°The proposition of ¡®happiness¡¯ is too profound. I might have to take a long time to understand it.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s gaze softened. ¡°But having money can solve many practical worries. It can also be considered a part of happiness.¡± He suddenly realized that his promise to Ai Tingya had unknowingly persisted for so many years. ¡°Can it really be so romantic?¡± Junior Cheng sniffed and suddenly felt a little envious. ¡°Of course. Tingya gave me a new life and let me know that people live their lives for one goal.¡± Luo Feng was sincere and did not lie at all. In his previous life, it was Ai Tingya who had spent money to extend his life, giving him comfort in the last moments of his life. The gears of fate began to turn when Ai Tingya stood at the door of the ward. Luo Feng was filled with emotions thinking of the past. Originally, he wanted to make up some nonsense to fool Junior Cheng. He was a little touched by his words. ¡°So there really is such a beautiful love in the real world.¡± Junior Cheng felt a lump in his throat. He was deeply immersed in his role. Luo Feng said, ¡°That¡¯s why I developed such a habit when doing business. After all, it¡¯s easier for me to earn money than those people. I can¡¯t spend it all alone. Why don¡¯t I make it convenient?¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t recommend it.¡± He did not forget the purpose of his words. He still wanted to persuade Junior Cheng to get back on track. ¡°But if I learn it, I can also help others.¡± Junior Cheng admired Luo Feng and all his actions. Especially since it was such a meaningful move, he felt that he could also make things easier for many people and bring them happiness. ¡°But you don¡¯t have the faith to work hard for it,¡± Luo Feng said with a smile. ¡°Whether it¡¯s for yourself or for others, no matter how difficult it is, you will persist.¡± ¡°But I¡­¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± Luo Feng interrupted Junior Cheng, who was about to refute, ¡°If you learn from me and don¡¯t care about the price, the person will thank you if he is an upright person. However, if you meet someone who plays tricks, you¡¯ll think that it¡¯s your own ability to take advantage. After taking your money, he¡¯ll still mock you for being a fool.¡± ¡°At that time, you might be so angry that you might wonder if you¡¯re really a fool.¡± ¡°Do you think you can laugh it off?¡± Junior Cheng fell silent in the face of Luo Feng¡¯s soul interrogation. If someone took his money and treated him like a fool, he would definitely beat that person into a fool. ¡°I can¡¯t¡­¡± Junior Cheng said. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Luo Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally gotten to the point. ¡°You have to become stronger first before helping others. Be it wealth or spirit, you have to be strong enough to not be afraid of others¡¯ judgment and schemes.¡± If Junior Cheng learned how to distribute wealth without his own wealth, it would just be to puff oneself up at one¡¯s own cost. In the end, it would only become a joke. ¡°So do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± Luo Feng guided him patiently, hoping that Junior Cheng would not be stubborn. ¡°Yes!¡± Junior Cheng nodded heavily. ¡°Thank you, President Luo. I understand now!¡± Chapter 440 - Chapter 440 Chatting In The Hospital While Waiting, Do You Need An Intermediary? Chapter 440 Chatting In The Hospital While Waiting, Do You Need An Intermediary? Chapter 440 Chatting In The Hospital While Waiting, Do You Need An Intermediary? ?Ever since Luo Feng told Junior Cheng about the story of faith, Junior Cheng became more and more worshipful of Luo Feng, and became more and more active in life. ¡°I understand your intention.¡± Junior Cheng said to Luo Feng in a very pious tone, ¡°You want me to unearth a power that can motivate me from the inside out and give me motivation to advance!¡± ¡°I¡¯m very happy that you think that way.¡± Luo Feng smiled. Even though this was not his intention, he was also very happy that Junior Cheng was developing in a positive direction. ¡°The new courtyard has been completed, and there¡¯s still some work to be done. I¡¯ll leave these to you,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°The employees in all positions have almost been recruited. We¡¯ll officially open in a month!¡± Even though the renovation materials were all environmentally friendly and harmless, he decided to wait for a month before the opening in order to reassure his employees. ¡°Today is the day of Sister Tingya¡¯s pregnancy check up. Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me!¡± Junior Cheng was full of ambition and looked very reliable. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave this place to you. I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡­ Other pregnant women would either come alone or with a family member. Ai Tingya was different. There were at least three people accompanying her. One was in charge of carrying her bag, one was in charge of queuing up, and the last was in charge of chatting with her to relieve her boredom. The person carrying the bag was naturally Luo Feng. As her husband, no matter how busy he was, he did not want to miss any checkup. It felt like the baby had not even been born but he was already accompanying the baby as the baby grew up. Mother Luo was in charge of queuing up. Originally, Luo Feng wanted to bear this hard work alone, but Mother Luo despised him for being thin-skinned and did not dare to shout at the people who were cutting the queue. Therefore, she insisted on doing it herself. As for the one accompanying her, Xiao Fei felt that she was the most suitable. She was already a regional chief store manager. She received a high salary every month and only needed to patrol the various shops from time to time to see if there were any violations. Coupled with her relationship with Ai Tingya, no one dared to refuse to give her leave to accompany her pregnant boss. ¡°We grew up together. I¡¯ve been by your side during the most important times of your life. This time is no exception.¡± Xiao Fei held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand, unwilling to let go. ¡°I feel a little embarrassed to have to mobilize so many people every time,¡± Ai Tingya said with a smile. She felt that she would affect others if she brought too many people to the crowded hospital. Ai Tingya had advised her more than once and felt that it was fine as long as Luo Feng accompanied her. However, her family was hearing none of it. Ai Zhaojiang would have accompanied Ai Tingya for the checkup too if it weren¡¯t for his inconvenient gender. Ai Tingya really couldn¡¯t dissuade the three of them, so she could only agree. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Xiao Ya. You won¡¯t have to queue when your Luo Feng builds the hospital for you.¡± Xiao Fei said. ¡°When the time comes, Luo Feng will accompany you alone. We definitely won¡¯t have any objections.¡± Ai Tingya forced a smile. She might get one accompaniment only when the hospital they open finally opens. According to her understanding of her family and friends, they would probably have to sit in a row at the door. ¡°Dean Du and the children miss you too,¡± Xiao Fei said with a smile. Ai Tingya sighed. If she really moved to the newly built hospital, the corridor would probably be filled with people. ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡± Ai Tingya had mixed feelings and didn¡¯t know what expression to put on. She did not know what day it was today, but there were many people in the hospital. She did not know what problem the pregnant woman had encountered when she entered the consultation room, but the long line did not move at all. Many pregnant women who came alone queued up. Their backs were sore from standing, and they kept moving their legs to ease the soreness. It was a little sad. Mother Luo stood in the team like a sesame seed cake standing guard. Her aura was completely different from the people around her. Ai Tingya felt that it was a little tiring, so she wanted to buy some water. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Xiao Fei held her down. ¡°You are two people now, don¡¯t move unnecessarily!¡± ¡°I want to buy some water,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Xiao Fei did not give her any chance. She stood up and ran towards the vending machine. Ai Tingya was a little bored sitting alone. Luo Feng went to get the report and was not by her side. ¡°Young lady, there¡¯s no one sitting here, right?¡± At this moment, a woman with short hair pointed at the place where Ai Tingya had placed her bag. ¡°No.¡± Ai Tingya removed her handbag. This was originally Xiao Fei¡¯s seat, but looking at the size of the other party¡¯s stomach, she should be about to reach her full term. It was also very difficult for her to hold on, so she gave it up for her. ¡°Ouch.¡± The woman hugged her stomach and sat down with difficulty. She let out a carefree cry. ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m so tired.¡± She glanced at Ai Tingya and then at her stomach. She smiled and said, ¡°Thank you, young lady. I¡¯ve been standing for a long time. My legs are about to cramp.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Ai Tingya looked at the frighteningly big belly and asked curiously, ¡°Are you going to give birth?¡± ¡°The due date is at the end of the month.¡± The woman touched her stomach and sighed. ¡°I¡¯m about to give birth, but my husband doesn¡¯t care at all.¡± ¡°Maybe he¡¯s too busy.¡± Ai Tingya was a little embarrassed and didn¡¯t know how to reply. The woman looked around enviously. ¡°I saw it just now. Your friend accompanied you here, right? That¡¯s great. I¡¯ve been too busy since I got married. I don¡¯t have much contact with my old friends.¡± Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t say that there were others accompanying her, so she could only smile and not say anything. The woman was a talkative person. Seeing that Ai Tingya was young and pregnant, she knew that she definitely had a lot of things she didn¡¯t understand, so she kindly told Ai Tingya. ¡°So it will get more and more troublesome towards the end. I really didn¡¯t expect that.¡± Ai Tingya sighed. ¡°That¡¯s right. No one told me before. I¡¯ve stepped into a pit many times.¡± The woman looked around and said softly, ¡°Let me tell you another secret. It¡¯s very difficult to get a bed in this hospital. It¡¯s not too late for you to get a number now!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Ai Tingya said. The place she came to was the best maternity and child care center in Shanghai. It was always crowded. ¡°Of course. My family made an appointment late and paid a high price through the back door,¡± the woman said with a smile, feeling a little proud. Not everyone was as lucky and rich as her after all. But Ai Tingya didn¡¯t think it was necessary. When the new hospital opened, all her files would be transferred over. At that time, there would be someone in charge, so there was no need to make an appointment. ¡°Thank you, but I don¡¯t think I need it,¡± Ai Tingya said with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t doubt my words. It¡¯ll be too late to look for one when you¡¯re about to give birth. Do you know that?¡± The woman looked a little frightened, as if Ai Tingya would suffer if she didn¡¯t listen to her. Then, the woman said, ¡°Can¡¯t you find any connections? I can introduce you to my intermediary. The intermediary is very reliable!¡± Ai Tingya smiled. ¡°There¡¯s really no need. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll give birth in this hospital.¡± ¡°The other places aren¡¯t as good as this place!¡± The woman said, ¡°There¡¯s no disadvantage in buying a bed from an intermediary, other than being more expensive!¡± ¡°No, thank you very much. It¡¯s just that my husband has just opened a new hospital. I¡¯ll probably go there to give birth,¡± Ai Tingya said in a low-key manner. Chapter 441 - Chapter 441 Their Deep Thoughts, How to Relieve The Medical Stress? Chapter 441 Their Deep Thoughts, How to Relieve The Medical Stress? Chapter 441 Their Deep Thoughts, How to Relieve The Medical Stress? ?¡±My husband just opened a hospital¡­¡± Ai Tingya said softly. ¡°I should be going there.¡± She saw the corners of the woman¡¯s mouth twitch. She might have a thousand words on the tip of her tongue, but none of them made it out. No one knew what she was thinking. The two of them fell into a strange silence even though the outpatient clinic was as noisy as ever. ¡°Did your husband really open a hospital?¡± The woman was careful and curious. ¡°But I haven¡¯t heard of a new hospital opening recently.¡± At that time, her family had asked all the reliable hospitals in order to book a bed, but they had never heard of any new hospital. Ai Tingya said, ¡°The renovation has just been completed. There¡¯s still more than a month before the opening.¡± As soon as she said that, the woman immediately remembered what she had heard before. ¡°Just completed the renovation? Could it be¡­ that ¡®Ting Feng Hospital¡¯?¡± The woman said in surprise. That hospital hadn¡¯t opened yet, but it had already caused a commotion. Ting Feng Hospital suddenly sprouted spring bamboo shoots after a night of rain. The vicinity was originally very desolate, and a large area of houses was almost empty. It was so quiet that it seemed like a no man¡¯s land. Some time ago, it suddenly became lively. Groups of workers changed wave after wave. The number of people who got off work after renovating a hospital was almost comparable to the streets with the most traffic. There was no one on that street in the past, so the traffic police almost didn¡¯t care. Now, they had to wait in advance every day to maintain order in order to prevent accidents from happening. In addition, trucks were coming in and out one after another. The trucks were as bright as new. There were foreign words printed on it that they couldn¡¯t understand. She heard that it was high-end medical equipment that had been imported from abroad. There were more than 10 installers. The perfecting process was so grand that there was almost no need for any publicity. The residents of Shanghai had heard of such a new hospital. ¡°The name ¡®Ting Feng¡¯¡­¡± Ai Tingya scratched her face. ¡°It sounds so awkward.¡± Luo Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to think of a name, so he simply used the name of the original company. The words in his and Ai Tingya¡¯s names were very memorable. ¡°It can¡¯t be.¡± The woman looked uncertain. She found the lady boss of Ting Feng Hospital just by chatting with someone?! Could there be such a coincidence in this world? The woman¡¯s first reaction was disbelief. At this moment, Luo Feng returned with the report. He walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side and looked around. He asked, ¡°Why are you here alone? Where¡¯s Xiao Fei?¡± Someone suddenly spoke behind her. Ai Tingya stood up in shock. When she saw that it was her husband, she smiled and said, ¡°Luo Feng, you¡¯re back. Xiao Fei went to buy water.¡± The woman was all ears upon hearing the name of the person who arrived. She secretly glanced at the examination report in Luo Feng¡¯s hand from the corner of her eye. The person¡¯s name was written on it. ¡°Ai Tingya.¡± The woman silently memorized this name. She thought about it carefully. If she took out a word from their names, wouldn¡¯t it be the name of the new hospital?! ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s true!¡± The woman gasped and looked at the two people who were talking in shock. She did not expect the two of them to be so young. They looked to be in their twenties, but they already owned a high-end hospital. Her own family found it difficult to spend money to buy a bed. She wanted to show off in front of her because she looked young just now. The woman felt as if someone had slapped her face. It was extremely embarrassing. Looking at the lovey-dovey couple, it was obvious how blissful they were. Looking at herself, she was about to give birth, but she still had to run to the hospital by herself with a big belly¡­ The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. The woman looked left and right. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she walked into the crowd as quickly as she could with her big belly. By the time Ai Tingya remembered her, she was already gone. ¡°That¡¯s strange. She was here just now. Where did she go?¡± Ai Tingya looked around and realized that there was no sign of her. ¡°Who is it?¡± Luo Feng asked. ¡°It¡¯s a Big Sister whom I was chatting with just now. She told me a lot of things to take note of during pregnancy,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°She even told me the secret of this hospital selling beds.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for us to buy it.¡± Luo Feng helped her sit down. ¡°It won¡¯t be long before the entire hospital is yours. You can sleep in any bed you want.¡± ¡°Seriously¡­ aren¡¯t you ashamed to say these things?¡± Ai Tingya gently pinched Luo Feng¡¯s face and looked around. Xiao Fei had not returned from buying water. The two of them sat and chatted. When Luo Feng heard that the woman was trying to find an intermediary for Ai Tingya, his expression changed slightly. ¡°Could she be the intermediary herself?¡± Luo Feng was suspicious. ¡°If she succeeds, she can get the money.¡± ¡°No way.¡± Ai Tingya didn¡¯t think too much about it. Luo Feng¡¯s words had broadened her horizons. ¡°There¡¯s an intermediary in the hospital?¡± But now that she thought about it, that big sister was a little too enthusiastic. ¡°Intermediaries would appear as long as there¡¯s money to be earned.¡± Luo Feng counted with his fingers. ¡°There are people who use connections to help buy medicine, and there are also people who queue up for big hospitals¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know medical resources were so tight.¡± Ai Tingya lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought. Luo Feng sighed and said, ¡°Of course, no matter how developed a country is, there are definitely more people who are sick than those who treat illnesses. There are only a few people with superb medical skills.¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be better if we opened a few more hospitals?¡± Ai Tingya stared at Luo Feng with wide eyes. Ai Tingya had grown up and had the charm of a mature woman. However, at this moment, her face seemed to overlap with that of the little girl in high school. Luo Feng was stunned and forgot to answer. ¡°It should be possible.¡± Ai Tingya answered herself. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t seem too good. There are too many hospitals, but there aren¡¯t enough doctors. Tsk, this is a problem.¡± The instant overlap shattered like a soap bubble. Luo Feng stared at Ai Tingya¡¯s face in a daze. The current Ai Tingya was decisive and independent. Her aura would be fully released when she was thinking about serious matters. The aura of a female CEO would definitely be revealed, as if nothing could stump her. Luo Feng felt a little lonely without her relying on him. He wrapped his arms around Ai Tingya¡¯s shoulders and shook her. He was alone and nostalgic. ¡°I miss the times when you were reliant on me occasionally even though you¡¯re very valiant and beautiful now as an independent woman.¡± ¡°Luo Feng, what did you say?¡± Ai Tingya was thinking about how to increase the number of doctors and did not hear Luo Feng clearly. ¡°I¡¯m talking to myself. It¡¯s not important.¡± Luo Feng laughed dryly. ¡°I thought about it carefully just now. There aren¡¯t enough doctors. It¡¯s useless no matter how many hospitals we open. We have to solve the problem from the source,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to open a medical school?¡± Luo Feng was a little excited. This girl was even more daring than him. ¡°There are too many steps to start a medical school now. Moreover, starting a school is a time-consuming and exhausting matter. Neither of us have the time or energy now.¡± Ai Tingya had also thought of this possibility and rejected it. It wouldn¡¯t be long before the child was born. Ai Tingya had never experienced the love of parents when she was young, so she still wanted to spend more time with the child. ¡°So, I thought of another way,¡± Ai Tingya said seriously. Chapter 442 - Chapter 442 Life Became Different Because Of Them Chapter 442 Life Became Different Because Of Them Chapter 442 Life Became Different Because Of Them ?There were many medical schools both domestically and overseas. Every year, a large number of medical students graduate from school. There was a base number, but the outstanding ones were only a small portion after all. This small portion was scattered all over the country, and it looked like there was none. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya knew that additional nurturing would cost additional money. ¡°In this day and age, medical students don¡¯t even get paid when they come to the hospital for an internship. They have to pay the hospital instead,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°That¡¯s right. Even though it¡¯s very dignified to be a doctor, it¡¯s also very difficult,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°I remember that there¡¯s a popular saying among medical students, ¡®Advise people to learn medicine and be struck by lightning.¡¯ It seems that it¡¯s not easy to survive.¡± It has always been a difficult problem to increase the number of high-end technical talents. ¡°Why don¡¯t we start by setting up a scholarship?¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°We can also try the scholarship method to motivate the children.¡± ¡°Madam, that¡¯s a good idea.¡± Luo Feng supported her. ¡°Song Xue happens to be a medical student. You can ask her what medical students need the most.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Hurry up then!¡± Ai Tingya urged. At the mention of serious matters, Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t wait to learn a cloning technique and immediately went to do it. ¡°It won¡¯t be fast now.¡± Luo Feng pointed at the team. Mother Luo had been waiting all the way and it was finally Ai Tingya¡¯s turn. ¡°Be good and wait for the examination to end before doing anything else.¡± At this moment, Xiao Fei, who was buying water, finally returned. ¡°I¡¯ve finally bought it. You don¡¯t know how long there is in front of the vending machine!¡± Xiao Fei placed the bottle of water in Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and ran over to give Mother Luo a bottle. She ran back and did not even have time to take a sip of water. She said to Luo Feng, ¡°Ting Feng Hospital has to put in a few more vending machines and a water room.¡± ¡°Sister Fei, that¡¯s good advice,¡± Luo Feng teased. ¡°Is there anything else? I¡¯ll get someone to do it together.¡± Xiao Fei thought about it and smiled mischievously. ¡°Why don¡¯t we set up a few more Good Me Milk Tea orders? They will definitely be very popular!¡± Many hospitals now have rest areas with convenience stores, coffee shops, or bookstores for waiting people to rest. This is also one of the manifestations of humane service. ¡°Not a bad suggestion.¡± Luo Feng nodded in agreement. ¡°Xiao Fei is different from before. She has such thoughts.¡± ¡°Of course. When you guys were bosses, I didn¡¯t forget to learn, hehe,¡± Xiao Fei said proudly. Under the influence of Ai Tingya and Luo Feng, the children of the orphanage were working hard. They were afraid that they would let down the good conditions provided by the two of them and wanted to do something to repay them. Xiao Fei wanted to say more, but Ai Tingya had already arrived. Luo Feng accompanied Ai Tingya into the consultation room. Mother Luo could finally sit down. ¡°My legs are sore from standing.¡± Mother Luo collapsed on the chair and panted from exhaustion. ¡°Luckily, Tingya wasn¡¯t in the queue. How can she stand when she¡¯s pregnant?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Auntie.¡± Xiao Fei sensibly massaged Mother Luo¡¯s legs. ¡°We¡¯ll be able to go to the new hospital soon. When the time comes, you can go for a checkup as long as you want.¡± ¡°Xiao Feng knows how to plan ahead.¡± Mother Luo was extremely proud. At first, when she heard Luo Feng say that he wanted to build a hospital for Ai Tingya and the child, she felt that it was a little exaggerated and that there was no need. Now, it seemed that it was very necessary! This was how it should be. ¡°You have to spend the money you earned on something important.¡± Mother Luo kept praising her son. Usually, she was afraid that Luo Feng would be arrogant, so she did not praise him in front of him. ¡°Not only that, I just heard them say that they want to sponsor medical students.¡± Xiao Fei did not hear much, but it did not stop her from gossiping with Mother Luo. ¡°The two of them are really worried about the country and the people. If they were born in ancient times, they would definitely be the emperor and empress.¡± ¡°The emperor and empress don¡¯t earn money. The entire country has to earn money for them,¡± Mother Luo said with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s indeed a little inappropriate. I remember that in the beginning, it was the two of them who earned money to support us,¡± Xiao Fei said. The more carefree she was, the more Xiao Fei recalled the bitter memories of her childhood. Life had only improved after meeting Luo Feng. It could be said that Luo Feng had saved them and changed the fate of the children in the orphanage, giving them the right to choose like ordinary children. Mother Luo looked at Xiao Fei¡¯s smiling side profile and thought of this child¡¯s background. Her heart couldn¡¯t help but ache. She hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Xiao Fei, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m being nosy, but have you thought about looking for your biological parents?¡± Most of the children adopted by the orphanage were incomplete or ill. There were also healthy girls like Xiao Fei and Ai Tingya. Perhaps it was because someone had stolen her, or perhaps her parents had some difficulties and abandoned her. There were very few cases like Ai Tingya¡¯s. Fortunately, she was lucky to find her family. Sometimes, when Mother Luo saw Xiao Fei laughing, she would wonder if she didn¡¯t miss her parents. Xiao Fei paused for a moment, and her darkened expression immediately returned to its sunny and cheerful state. ¡°Why would I look for them? I¡¯m doing quite well now. I have money and freedom. Dean Du and Xiao Ya are my family.¡± She looked at Mother Luo and smiled innocently. ¡°And I can eat Auntie¡¯s cooking. I¡¯m already very lucky to live like this.¡± Compared to her previous life, she had already gained too much. People who were too greedy would be punished. ¡°Sigh, such a well-behaved child. Your parents might be looking for you too,¡± Mother Luo said. ¡°It depends on fate. If they really want to look for me, they will definitely find me.¡± Xiao Fei pouted and felt a little sad. ¡°Besides, if I was abandoned, wouldn¡¯t it be too embarrassing for me to look for them? I don¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°This child¡­¡± The topic was heavy and Mother Luo did not know how to comfort her. She could only stroke her head and hope that she would feel better. ¡°I¡¯m fine, Auntie.¡± Xiao Fei took a sip of water and adjusted her emotions. Xiao Fei was already satisfied with everything she currently had. She was a cheerful person and would not be stuck in a bad mood for too long. Xiao Fei did not allow herself to be depressed for too long. This was because there were still many wonderful things waiting for her in this world. In her limited time, sadness and frustration could only take up a small portion. At other times, she had to laugh heartily and be happy forever. ¡°Let¡¯s make your favorite roasted lamb chop tonight,¡± Mother Luo said. ¡°And a crucian carp soup?¡± ¡°Really?!¡± Xiao Fei hugged Mother Luo. ¡°Thank you, Auntie. Your dishes are the best in the world. I like them the most!¡± There were more and more guests at home ever since Luo Feng became successful. Mother Luo remembered the tastes of his friends like Lei Jin and Xiao Fei who had grown up together. Every time they came, she would cook for them. Sometimes, Mother Luo could not help but treat them as her own children. ¡°But you have to eat some vegetables tonight.¡± Mother Luo didn¡¯t forget to remind Xiao Fei. ¡°You¡¯ll have oral ulcers if you lack vitamins and then you won¡¯t be able to eat anything delicious.¡± Chapter 443 - Chapter 443 Asking Song Xue, How Long Is Your Reflex Arc? Chapter 443 Asking Song Xue, How Long Is Your Reflex Arc? Chapter 443 Asking Song Xue, How Long Is Your Reflex Arc? ?Mother Luo brought Xiao Fei to buy groceries to prepare dinner tonight after the checkup. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya went to look for Song Xue. Lei Jin and Song Xue¡¯s relationship improved very quickly while they were busy with hospital matters. When they met again, the two of them were already officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Song Xue¡¯s irregular life had also improved due to Lei Jin¡¯s control. She looked much more spirited. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you again,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Do whatever you want.¡± Song Xue was the only one in the laboratory. She was stirring something with a glass rod in her hand. She was already very good-looking to begin with, so she no longer had a dispirited expression. Her serious appearance was very attractive. Ai Tingya found a seat and sat down. She could only see Song Xue¡¯s side profile. She likes everyone who is serious about their lives and work. She was mesmerized by them unknowingly. ¡°Tingya, what are you looking at?¡± Luo Feng walked around the laboratory and looked at the various glass bottles and jars. He didn¡¯t dare to touch anything, so he walked to Ai Tingya¡¯s side and realized that her eyes were almost fixed on him. ¡°Nothing.¡± Ai Tingya came back to her senses. She felt that it was rude of her to keep staring at others. However, Song Xue didn¡¯t care at all. She couldn¡¯t care less about the surroundings every time she was focused. After inviting the two of them to sit casually, she didn¡¯t say anything else. It was as if she had forgotten that there were still two guests. Luo Feng felt that the laboratory was stuffy and wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Ai Tingya pulled him back and told him not to disturb Song Xue. The two of them sat silently and waited. After sitting for about half an hour, Luo Feng¡¯s back was numb from the hard bench. He twisted and could not sit still. If even he felt uncomfortable, Ai Tingya would definitely not be able to endure it. Luo Feng leaned out to look at Ai Tingya and realized that she was staring at Song Xue again. ¡°What are you looking at!¡± Luo Feng followed her gaze curiously. There was nothing else other than Song Xue. Ai Tingya glanced at Luo Feng and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°It¡¯s useless to tell you. You don¡¯t understand.¡± Luo Feng was about to retort, ¡°What don¡¯t I understand?¡± when he heard Ai Tingya say, ¡°Only Lei Jin can understand how attractive the serious Song Xue is.¡± Luo Feng felt that this made sense. In terms of appreciating beauty, he was indeed inferior to Ai Tingya. Most importantly, he only had eyes for Ai Tingya and couldn¡¯t stand the beauty of other girls. ¡°If you want to look, then look.¡± Luo Feng shrugged nonchalantly and took out his phone to complain to Lei Jin. It was just quiet here. On the other side, Song Xue suddenly raised her head and shouted, ¡°Oh no!¡± Ai Tingya stood up as well. Luo Feng subconsciously supported her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ai Tingya asked with concern. Song Xue turned around and looked at the two of them. ¡°Oh no, I forgot you were here!¡± She seemed to have suddenly recalled a key point from a long time ago and was even more shocked than Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. This reaction arc was too long, and Luo Feng and Ai Tingya did not know what to say. ¡°Aiya! How can you keep smelling disinfectant when you¡¯re pregnant?!¡± Song Xue took off her white coat in a panic. She wanted to pull Ai Tingya but didn¡¯t dare to. She leaned forward and asked, ¡°Do you want to vomit? Let¡¯s go out first.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. Go ahead and do your work. We¡¯ll talk when you¡¯re done.¡± Ai Tingya felt a little guilty. He had pulled Luo Feng over in a fit of anger, but Song Xue was a desperate person. Previously, in order to have enough time to complete the thesis, she had even squeezed in the time to sleep. He had disturbed her. ¡°I¡¯m not busy anymore.¡± Song Xue pulled the two of them and said, ¡°There¡¯s a good milk tea shop downstairs. Let¡¯s go there and sit.¡± When they stood at the entrance of Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop, Song Xue knocked her head and looked embarrassed. ¡°Oh no, I forgot that you guys are from the head office.¡± Other than experiments and papers, Song Xue might be confused about everything. Or rather, the reflection arc was too long and required more time to react. Previously, she was in a daze and looked like she could not wake up. With Cui Enqiao following her, she handled everything properly. Even though she was much more awake now, she did not seem to be much better. ¡°Pregnant women can¡¯t eat too much candy. Let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡± Song Xue was anxious and wanted to pull the two of them away. ¡°No need.¡± Luo Feng stopped her. ¡°We just launched a new low- sugar product. Tingya can drink it.¡± ¡°Is that so? But I heard that the so-called low sugar in the milk tea shop is not the low sugar that we express.¡± Song Xue did not know much about this and followed him with a muddle- head. This Good Me Milk Tea Shop was very big and had a second floor. The three of them chose a window seat and sat down. They could see the busy streets. ¡°I¡¯m sorry that I suddenly came to look for you,¡± Ai Tingya apologized. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I was just about to thank you guys. Ha¡­ you guys can continue.¡± As soon as she sat down, Song Xue entered the electricity-saving mode again. Her eyelids started to droop and she kept yawning. Even though he was awake, only his ears were on duty. Ai Tingya was very worried when she saw her situation. ¡°Why don¡¯t we call Lei Jin over to take a look? I keep feeling that Song Xue is about to fall asleep. Didn¡¯t you say that she has improved a lot recently?¡± Luo Feng also felt that the situation was not too optimistic. ¡°I¡¯ll go out and make a call. You guys chat first. If she wants to sleep, let her sleep.¡± If Song Xue really fell asleep here, he couldn¡¯t send her back to the laboratory with only a stool. It was safer to ask Lei Jin to do it. After Luo Feng left, Ai Tingya said to Song Xue, ¡°Then I¡¯ll make it short. Luo Feng and I have discussed sponsoring medical students. We hope to nurture more doctors with superb medical skills, but we feel that just the scholarships and scholarships are not enough.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I wanted to ask you what medical students need.¡± Upon hearing this, Song Xue¡¯s eyes became clearer. ¡°I won¡¯t be sleepy if you tell me that. If you want to talk about me, I¡¯ll need more time and a responsible mentor.¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not that my mentor is irresponsible. She works in your hospital. Don¡¯t tell her. It¡¯s just that I understand that many mentors are very busy. While teaching in school, they also work in the hospital.¡± In fact, many university teachers had multiple roles, but doctors were much busier. ¡°Also, I heard that many old Chinese doctors have outstanding medical skills, but they don¡¯t pay enough attention to Chinese medicine, causing some precious prescriptions to be lost. You can also try to encourage traditional medicine,¡± Song Xue said. ¡°Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine. Sometimes, it depends on the experience and requires a teacher to guide it step by step.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Ai Tingya took note of it seriously. ¡°Of course, thanks to you guys, my mentor has been busy with her research recently and gave me some time,¡± Song Xue said. ¡°This is very helpful to me. I don¡¯t know if it has any reference value, or you can ask my mentor.¡± Song Xue would also be coming to Ting Feng Hospital for an internship in the future, so she was polite to Ai Tingya and her husband. ¡°Thank you.¡± Ai Tingya felt that this was enough for her to think for a long time. However, Song Xue¡¯s words told her a very important piece of information. ¡°What they need the most is time and teachers.¡± Chapter 444 - Chapter 444 Joining A New Discussion, Lei Jin, You Know Quite A Bit Chapter 444 Joining A New Discussion, Lei Jin, You Know Quite A Bit Chapter 444 Joining A New Discussion, Lei Jin, You Know Quite A Bit ?When Luo Feng returned from the call, Song Xue was already asleep. ¡°You¡¯re back. What did Lei Jin say?¡± Ai Tingya held a pen and pushed the drink she had just served to Luo Feng. ¡°He said that he has something on and can¡¯t leave now. I got the others to help. If there¡¯s no traffic jam, he should be here in 20 minutes.¡± Luo Feng took a sip of his drink and praised, ¡°The new taste is not bad.¡± Ai Tingya teased, ¡°Oh, Boss is so good.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the boss, okay?¡± Luo Feng smiled and rolled his eyes at her. Sometimes, Ai Tingya would suddenly be mischievous and it was quite interesting. ¡°Hehe, I won¡¯t laugh at you anymore. Song Xue told me this just now.¡± Ai Tingya pushed the A4 paper beside her to Luo Feng. Song Xue fell asleep a few minutes after she spoke. Ai Tingya asked the shop assistant for a pen and paper and wrote down her thoughts according to Song Xue¡¯s hint. In a short period of time, a piece of white paper was filled with words. While Luo Feng was looking, Ai Tingya asked the shop assistant for a small blanket and covered Song Xue to prevent her from catching a cold. For someone like Song Xue who could fall asleep at any time and would not be disturbed by the outside world when she was asleep, it was more reliable to have someone by her side at any time. ¡°Isn¡¯t Lei Jin correcting Song Xue¡¯s living habits? Why is it similar to before?¡± Ai Tingya asked in confusion. When she was in the laboratory, she felt that Song Xue¡¯s Spirit had improved a lot. Now, it seemed like nothing had changed. Luo Feng did not even raise his head. ¡°Lei Jin said on the phone just now that there was indeed a correction, but Song Xue has developed a habit of wanting to sleep once she relaxes. It will take a long time for her to completely change.¡± ¡°I see. It¡¯s really tough being a medical student.¡± Ai Tingya sighed. ¡°You¡¯ve summarized so much during this period of time?¡± Luo Feng said excitedly. The possible measures that Ai Tingya had written down would cost a lot of money to manage. In other words, this money would be used on a group of people with great potential. It was no different from wholesale! Then, Luo Feng would be able to obtain profits from a large number of students with potential. Moreover, it could be cycled. There would be an endless stream of students! ¡°These are just my understanding. Do you want to add some more?¡± Ai Tingya asked. ¡°There¡¯s no need at all!¡± Luo Feng happily folded the paper and kept it in his bag, cherishing it like an imperial edict. He did not expect Ai Tingya to have such potential in spending money. If he had known earlier, he would have developed her interest in spending money earlier. Then, Luo Feng would not have to worry about investing. ¡°Why are you smiling foolishly?¡± Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng, feeling that he had other ideas. ¡°Hehe, you don¡¯t have to know. In short, I¡¯ll contact the people from the Professions and implement all of this. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. Even though they had been together for so many years, Ai Tingya still gave him some surprises from time to time. This made Luo Feng love her so much that he could not extricate himself. ¡°But I still feel that there¡¯s something missing¡­¡± Ai Tingya valued this matter very much and felt worried no matter what. ¡°Stop thinking now,¡± Luo Feng said solemnly. ¡°Pregnant women can¡¯t worry too much, do you know that?¡± He bent down and placed Ai Tingya¡¯s hand on his face. Pregnant women would have a higher body temperature. Luo Feng felt warm and at ease. ¡°It¡¯s really great to have you,¡± Luo Feng muttered, his tone indescribably gentle. Ai Tingya didn¡¯t hear him clearly and looked at Luo Feng in confusion. At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from the stairwell. Thunder Vajra, who was covered in sweat, saw this scene. The first thing he noticed was Song Xue sleeping on the table. He rushed to her. ¡°Why did you fall asleep here? What¡¯s going on?¡± Ai Tingya let go of Luo Feng¡¯s hand and said, ¡°We wanted to ask her out because we wanted to ask her about something, but she still doesn¡¯t seem to have rested enough.¡± ¡°Sigh.¡± Lei Jin also sighed. ¡°I was used to staying up late in the past. I can¡¯t change it for a while.¡± He was also very vexed. He searched countless methods online, but the effect was not very good. The only consolation was that Song Xue was willing to cooperate. ¡°What are you guys asking?¡± Lei Jin was a little curious. Luo Feng told him what had happened before he came. ¡°Although I know that we¡¯re very weak, I still want to help. I hope that the medical resources can be alleviated in the future.¡± ¡°If you can open chain hospitals everywhere, with good treatment and high-paying jobs, medical students will definitely be more motivated,¡± Lei Jin said. ¡°I think the employment pressure now is also very serious, especially in the field of medicine.¡± In the past, he felt that all kinds of industries were very complicated. Ever since he got to know Song Xue, he realized that the medical field was the real king of roll-ups. ¡°We¡¯ll continue doing this. We just want more people with superb medical skills,¡± Luo Feng said. Initially, it was just a whim. He did not expect there to be so many things to prepare. Lei Jin said, ¡°Speaking of doctors with superb medical skills, I remember that there was a piece of social news some time ago. A doctor with superb medical skills was implicated by the family in a medical dispute. His hands were cut and seemed to have injured his nerves. He can¡¯t perform delicate surgeries anymore.¡± ¡°I also heard that the doctor seems to know a unique surgery. There are only two people in our country who know it. One is this doctor, and the other is this doctor¡¯s teacher.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that his teacher is already in his seventies or eighties. This technique might be lost.¡± Anyone who saw such news would feel regretful and heartbroken. Lei Jin said this news because he felt that the hospital could strengthen security and protect the doctors. ¡°It¡¯s better to be prepared. After all, it¡¯s not easy to nurture a doctor. Moreover, many family members of medical disputes act impulsively and regret it more than anyone else.¡± Lei Jin also wanted to help Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. Even though he did not understand the pharmaceutical industry, from the perspective of a bystander, he felt that in the past two years, there had been countless medical incidents. Before his medical skills were superb, safety was the most important. ¡°You reminded me that we really need to strengthen the security system.¡± Luo Feng took out the notebook again. ¡°You can help carry the patients usually.¡± He made an extra note on the paper. In any case, as long as it could advance the development of Impetus, he was willing to give it a try. As soon as the three of them started chatting, they couldn¡¯t stop. Ai Tingya felt that there could be a new master-disciple competition. The teachers would compare their skills and the results of the students¡¯ sparring. Lei Jin had other opinions. Until the sleeping Song Xue let out an uncomfortable murmur. Perhaps it was because the table was too hard, or perhaps it was because her neck was twisted uncomfortably. The three of them stopped discussing and looked at Song Xue, who was sleeping soundly. ¡°Why don¡¯t we send her back first?¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°If she continues sleeping like this, her limbs will probably go numb when she wakes up.¡± Lei Jin said, ¡°But Cui Enqiao shouldn¡¯t be at home now. I don¡¯t have her house key, so I can¡¯t bring her to my rental house.¡± They had just gotten together. Lei Jin didn¡¯t want to leave a bad impression on Song Xue. He couldn¡¯t have any signs of it. Chapter 446 - Chapter 446 No Need To Eat Dog Food Anymore, It’s Different Having A Girlfriend Chapter 446 No Need To Eat Dog Food Anymore, It¡¯s Different Having A Girlfriend Chapter 446 No Need To Eat Dog Food Anymore, It¡¯s Different Having A Girlfriend ?Luo Feng drove and listened silently. At some point in time, Ai Tingya had actually learned how to spout nonsense, which stunned Lei Jin. ¡°Haha, you¡¯re really getting better and better.¡± Luo Feng smiled and looked at Ai Tingya from the corner of his eye. ¡°Phew, working overtime is against the original purpose of our company.¡± Ai Tingya was indignant. If Lei Jin had taken the initiative to apply for overtime pay, Ai Tingya would not have objected so much. Hence, Ai Tingya had to convince Lei Jin no matter what. ¡°Hahaha, as expected of CEO Ai,¡± Luo Feng said in admiration. ¡°I¡¯ve fallen in love with you again.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Ai Tingya patted Luo Feng and looked at the backseat. Lei Jin crossed his arms in front of his chest. Beside him was his sleeping girlfriend, looking fearless. In the past, he had always been jealous of Luo Feng and his wife. Because he was single, he had suffered multiple critical hits. However, it was different now that he has a girlfriend. ¡°Do as you please. Don¡¯t worry about me,¡± Lei Jin said casually. He had waited for this moment for many years. There was no need to say how proud he was. ¡°Tsk, boring.¡± Luo Feng snorted. There was one less joy in life. Wait a minute! The spiritual barrier in his mind flashed. He was already a father. If he couldn¡¯t show off his affection, he would show off his children. Life was just so exciting. He could always find new fun. After making many turns, the three of them returned to Luo Feng¡¯s villa. As soon as the car entered the garage, rice fragrance eagerly slipped in through the window. ¡°D*mn, Auntie¡¯s culinary skills are so good that you can even smell it in the garage.¡± Lei Jin couldn¡¯t help but swallow. This fragrance, it was a good thing that it came today. ¡°They should be stewing vegetables in the courtyard,¡± Luo Feng said. ¡°My mother always said that the vegetables stewed by the gas stove are not as delicious as those stewed by the earth stove.¡± ¡°Hurry up and go up.¡± Ai Tingya couldn¡¯t wait any longer. Initially, her appetite was not good, but Mother Luo¡¯s cooking always had a strange attraction. Even the sleeping Song Xue opened her eyes, she rubbed her eyes and looked around in a daze. It took her almost a minute to see that there were three people standing in front of her and she was lying in the back seat of the car. ¡°Where are we?¡± ¡°This is Luo Feng¡¯s house.¡± Lei Jin pulled him out. ¡°It¡¯s time for dinner. Let¡¯s go up together.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Song Xue looked around like a lost child. ¡°Huh? Weren¡¯t we at the milk tea shop just now? Oh right! CEO Ai, have you finished asking your questions?¡± She didn¡¯t know where Song Xue had cut off her video and couldn¡¯t remember where she had fallen asleep. ¡°You¡¯ve helped a lot.¡± Ai Tingya smiled. ¡°Hurry up and go upstairs. You must be hungry.¡± The four of them did not go upstairs directly. Instead, they went around to the main door and walked through the courtyard. Sure enough, there was a dark green coal stove among the colorful flowers. There was a big clay pot sitting on it. The steam carried the fragrance of meat. Song Xue, who was not completely awake, wanted to go there. ¡°The main entrance is this way.¡± Lei Jin took the opportunity to hold her hand. He felt that Song Xue was like a worried child when she wasn¡¯t doing research. She wanted him to take care of her at any time. The four of them pushed the door open and entered. The fragrance in the room was even stronger. ¡°Mom, we¡¯re back,¡± Luo Feng shouted into the room. Mother Luo responded but did not appear. Luo Feng shouted again, ¡°Lei Jin is here too. He even brought his girlfriend.¡± ¡°Really?¡± He heard her voice before he saw her. Mother Luo ran out of the kitchen with a smile and a fish in her rolled-up sleeves. After running a few steps, she remembered that she was not in a good state to receive guests and returned to the kitchen to put down her things. ¡°Lei Jin has grown up!¡± Mother Luo ran to greet him and ran around the house, washing cups and pouring water. Song Xue was at a loss for what to do. She hid behind Lei Jin like a hamster. It would be better to have someone she knew by her side, so she held Lei Jin¡¯s arm with one hand and Ai Tingya¡¯s with the other. ¡°Mom, you¡¯ll scare others if you¡¯re too enthusiastic.¡± Luo Feng quickly pushed Mother Luo, who was running around the room, to the sofa and made her sit down obediently. ¡°It¡¯s even for reserved girls. Aiyaya, sit, sit.¡± Mother Luo was so happy that she couldn¡¯t close her mouth. It was exactly the same as when Luo Feng brought Ai Tingya back. As soon as Mother Luo saw Song Xue, she knew that this girl was not ordinary. She pulled her and talked non-stop. Song Xue didn¡¯t have any relatives or friends in Shanghai, so she wasn¡¯t very good at dealing with this situation. She stuck close to Lei Jin and didn¡¯t allow him to leave her at all. ¡°Our relationship has warmed up.¡± Luo Feng smiled and brought Ai Tingya to the kitchen. Xiao Fei was originally helping. When the head chef went out, she took the opportunity to eat secretly and was caught by Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. ¡°You guys are back.¡± Xiao Fei¡¯s cheeks were bulging. She couldn¡¯t even cover them with her hands. She wanted to but didn¡¯t dare to grin. ¡°Coincidentally, the crispy meat is out of the pot.¡± Ai Tingya originally thought that there would be two more people eating today, but she didn¡¯t tell Mother Luo in advance. She might not be able to make it in time, so she wanted to make two more dishes in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, the kitchen was filled with prepared dishes. They just had to wait for them to be added to the pot. ¡°Another Manchu Han Imperial Feast!¡± Ai Tingya looked at the exaggerated kitchen in surprise. When Ai Tingya had just gotten pregnant, Mother Luo had cooked a lot in order to make her eat more because she couldn¡¯t eat. It was only when her appetite improved during the middle of the pregnancy that Mother Luo had a better reason to cook a few more dishes. Not to mention two more mouths, even if two more people came, this would be completely enough to eat. Xiao Fei finally swallowed the food in her mouth and said with a smile, ¡°Hehe, Auntie¡¯s cooking is too delicious. I couldn¡¯t help but secretly eat a little. This little crispy meat is amazing. Once I eat it, I can¡¯t stop!¡± She defended her gluttony. She had just made a mistake that all the gluttons in the world would make. Ai Tingya had no appetite for the time being. After rejecting him, she had to deal with the remaining ingredients. ¡°How can you attack!¡± Xiao Fei pushed him out and turned to Luo Feng mercilessly. ¡°Luo Feng, help me. You can¡¯t secretly eat it.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Luo Feng¡¯s temper flared up. Why was his family¡¯s status getting lower and lower? Before he could retort, Xiao Fei said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want Xiaoya to come personally? Won¡¯t you dote on your wife!¡± Luo Feng had to admit that he could not bear to. If not for Ai Tingya¡¯s unwillingness, he really wanted to hire two nannies to serve him. ¡°Who asked me to be a father?¡± Luo Feng rolled up his sleeves and picked up the kitchen knife. Wasn¡¯t this how a good man of the new era was? He was good in the hall and good in the kitchen. Everything was based on doting on his wife. He would do anything that was good to Ai Tingya. ¡°Not bad, not bad. As expected of you.¡± Xiao Fei was as smug as an adult. ¡°Affirmation from your maiden family.¡± Luo Feng snorted. ¡°Thank you, your family. Pass me the soy sauce first.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Xiao Fei said as she handed something over. Then, she watched as Luo Feng sprinkled soy sauce on the small crispy meat. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xiao Fei¡¯s face was blank. ¡°It¡¯s seasoning,¡± Luo Feng said confidently. Chapter 447 - Chapter 447 The Doctor Showed Off His New Job During the Early Opening Chapter 447 The Doctor Showed Off His New Job During the Early Opening Chapter 447 The Doctor Showed Off His New Job During the Early Opening ?Luo Feng was chased out of the kitchen by Xiao Fei after he poured the soy sauce and was about to sprinkle some cumin powder. ¡°Small crispy meat must be eaten with chili noodles! What¡¯s the difference between pouring soy sauce and committing a crime!¡± Luo Feng expressed his innocence. ¡°But I like to eat soy sauce.¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Luo Feng was also very helpless. He had been eating like this for the past ten to twenty years. ¡°If I had known, I would have taken out a portion.¡± In the living room, Lei Jin had successfully taken over Mother Luo¡¯s conversation. The two of them were chatting happily. Song Xue and Ai Tingya, who had been saved, were taking a walk in the courtyard. As the two of them chatted, Ai Tingya was taking notes. Song Xue was also very concerned about funding medical students, even if she would become a new graduate soon and leave her student status to become an intern. However, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had this good idea, and she wanted to contribute. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any financial benefits from sponsoring students. It can be said that you¡¯re investing money for nothing,¡± Song Xue said. ¡°And it might be a long-term one. Wouldn¡¯t it burden you?¡± She had heard from Lei Jin about Luo Feng¡¯s family¡¯s situation. She only knew that they had money and had opened a few companies. She did not remember the details. Song Xue couldn¡¯t imagine how much money it was, but she felt that the amount of money needed to complete Ai Tingya¡¯s ideas was immeasurable. At the very least, Song Xue felt that she couldn¡¯t earn it. She felt that being rich and being willing to spend money were two completely different things. She was worried that Ai Tingya would regret it, so she kept confirming it with her. She felt that being rich and being willing to spend money were two completely different things. She was worried that Ai Tingya would regret it, so she kept confirming it with her. Ai Tingya sounded like she was showing off, but what she said was the truth. ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine how much money you can earn every day.¡± Song Xue knew nothing about business. ¡°Do all the milk tea shops in the country give you a portion of the money they sell every day?¡± ¡°Hahaha, this business model is more complicated. If you¡¯re interested, I¡¯ll tell you slowly,¡± Ai Tingya said with a smile. Song Xue and her hit it off very well. They felt like old friends at first sight. Song Xue thought for a moment and felt uninterested. She shook her head and said, ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not waste that time. I won¡¯t remember it even if I tell you. Let¡¯s get down to business.¡± Ai Tingya liked Song Xue to be straightforward. The two of them chatted happily. They might have chatted until the sky turned dark if Luo Feng had not asked them to eat. ¡°You just like to worry.¡± Luo Feng was slightly reproachful. ¡°Now, you still have to find someone to communicate with to see if it¡¯s feasible. Can you guys chat more easily and happily?¡± Pregnant women should not worry too much. Emotions would also affect their bodies. ¡°That¡¯s easy and happy.¡± Ai Tingya felt happy just thinking about it. ¡°Think about it. In the future, when there are more good doctors, the hospital won¡¯t be so crowded. It¡¯ll be easier for everyone to see a doctor. The doctors won¡¯t be so tired. How good would that be?¡± Every time Ai Tingya fantasized about a bright future, she seemed to have become the ignorant but determined girl from high school again. No matter how many times he looked at it, those beautiful memories would resurface. Luo Feng suddenly walked over and hugged Ai Tingya. He said gently, ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I¡¯ll help you fulfill your wish, no matter what it is.¡± The two of them were immersed in their own world when a cry came from the side. ¡°Boohoo, your wish is so great.¡± Song Xue wiped her tears. She was so touched that she could not extricate herself. She was the first person who was completely immune to Luo Feng¡¯s dog food. She had her own mental world and admired Ai Tingya. She had already decided on this friend. ¡°How long are you going to stand here? Auntie has been calling you to eat.¡± Lei Jin stood by the window and looked at the three of them. He pointed at the house and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t come in, you¡¯ll be angry.¡± ¡°Coming right up,¡± the three of them said in unison. Luo Feng¡¯s house was as lively as ever. ¡­ Ting Feng Hospital was soon put into use. Ai Tingya was the first pregnant woman in the hospital. The person who examined her was Teacher Song Xue¡¯s classmate. Even though the two of them had different research directions, their medical skills were also superb. Doctor Su, who had been a doctor for many years, took the lady boss who paid him seriously. ¡°The checkup is normal. The child is developing well.¡± Dr. Su closed Ai Tingya¡¯s medical records. ¡°Remember to come on time for the next pregnancy test.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Ai Tingya put away the report. ¡°I want to ask when my due date is?¡± ¡°It¡¯s three months later,¡± Dr. Su comforted. ¡°Due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy, it¡¯s normal to think about many things. Exercise appropriately and relax.¡± She thought that Ai Tingya was anxious to see the child and was worried that she would be anxious, so she said a few more words. ¡°Thank you, but before that, I still have something I want to do. I want to see if I can finish it.¡± Ai Tingya bowed slightly and left the consultation room. Dr. Su was stunned for a few seconds before he recalled the rumors he had heard recently. It was said that the first hospital in Ting Feng had just started, and the other chain hospitals had already begun to prepare. Moreover, they seemed to be funding and rewarding the medical students in school in the name of the hospital. Luo Feng and his wife were implementing it. ¡°Such capable people can¡¯t stay idle. She¡¯s still thinking about business even when she¡¯s pregnant.¡± Dr. Su muttered to himself. She could be considered half a well-connected person. Naturally, Song Xue told these gossips to her mentor, and her mentor told her. Doctor Su was also very impressed when she heard it. She remembered that they did not have so many preferential treatment when they were students. If they wanted to make a name for themselves, they could only study hard. They would study hard until it killed them. There were others who could help her worry and encourage her with real money. This was probably the case for those who cared about the world. However, Dr. Su¡¯s envy only lasted for a moment because she could also apply for research funding from the hospital. She took out a booklet from the drawer. It was filled with the hospital¡¯s subsidies for doctors, other than the usual insurance, performance, and overtime pay. There were also all kinds of accidents that Dr. Su had never seen before. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that the boss here is someone who admires doctors. As expected, he¡¯s so well-prepared.¡± Doctor Su was the only one in the consultation room. She could celebrate however she wanted. She used to work in two different hospitals. Even public hospitals with national endorsements did not have such comprehensive benefits as Ting Feng Hospital. In addition, a month before the hospital opened, Luo Feng was already paying them normally. He said that he could not affect the employees¡¯ normal lives because they jumped ship. It was very humane. Doctor Su had been a doctor for so many years, but this was the first time he had met a straightforward boss. The environment was good, the benefits were good, and the boss was generous and did not put on airs. She had only been working for two days, but she had already fallen deeply in love with this place. ¡°The hospital has just opened. There aren¡¯t many people around. Hurry up and slack off. You won¡¯t have the chance to do so in the future when you¡¯re busy.¡± Dr. Sut took out her phone after she tidied up the table. ¡°Now, I¡¯ll show off in the class group chat. Hahaha, this is a hospital under Luo Feng¡¯s name!¡± Chapter 448 - Chapter 448 Housing Prices Rise, The Environment Became Lively! Chapter 448 Housing Prices Rise, The Environment Became Lively! Chapter 448 Housing Prices Rise, The Environment Became Lively! ?Business in the vicinity bloomed after the opening of Ting Feng Hospital. More and more patients came because of the reputation of the hospital. More and more people came because of the experts in the hospital. All the shops around Ting Feng Hospital were sold out overnight, and the renovation began urgently. Convenience stores, Chinese medicine pharmacies, snack shops, hotels, and hotels¡­ All kinds of shops opened one after another. Life had become more convenient, and there were more people coming and going. It was not so difficult to sell the surrounding houses. Coupled with the convenient medical conditions of the houses near the hospital, the intention to buy houses had increased a lot. Cui Enqiao followed up when Ting Feng Hospital was still choosing the address. After choosing the address, Luo Feng gave her a large sum of intermediary fees and made her rich. She knew how influential Ting Feng Hospital would be in the future, so she found connections and contracted the intermediary work for the nearby houses in advance. After introducing a few rounds, Cui Enqiao grasped the customers¡¯ thoughts and sold them one by one. A large sum of intermediary fees was transferred into her account. The colleagues who had worked with her before were all envious. They saw how strong Cui Enqiao¡¯s connections were and begged her to bring them to buy properties. There were several different open houses near Ting Feng Hospital after all and tens of thousands of empty houses waiting to be sold. Cui Enqiao would definitely not be able to handle it alone. What was even more unimaginable was that four or five neighborhoods near the hospital had entrusted their houses to Cui Enqiao. Such a scene could be said to be unheard of and unprecedented. Cui Enqiao¡¯s identity was very different with the resources in her hands. Even their store manager had to welcome her with a smile every day, afraid that Cui Enqiao would go to another house agent if she couldn¡¯t serve her well. They were just short of flattering her. Actually, it was all thanks to Luo Feng that she could obtain these resources. The prosperity of the nearby area was all because of the establishment of Ting Feng Hospital after all. The house that she originally thought was going to be destroyed was suddenly bought by someone. The bosses of a few developers treated Luo Feng as their benefactor. After asking around, he found out that the person who introduced Luo Feng to open the hospital here was Cui Enqiao. They trusted Cui Enqiao¡¯s foresight and ability. They didn¡¯t even trust their own sales department. They gave all the houses to Cui Enqiao. Cui Enqiao was extremely busy. The store manager of the house agent gave her the management rights of the shop and even asked her to set up a small team. Seven or eight people would open their eyes every day to take customers to see the house. In a month, Cui Enqiao alone had sold more than a hundred businesses and earned more than 1.2 million yuan. This was an unimaginable legend in the entire intermediary community. There were even chain intermediary shops that paid a high price to poach Cui Enqiao. Cui Enqiao had never been so popular. She had three phones with her, and her calls were still non-stop every day. Other than introducing people to buy houses, they were also poaching people. She was extremely pleased with herself. She thought that if she continued to be busy like this, she would soon have the money to buy a house of her own in Shanghai. If it was in the past, Cui Enqiao would not even dare to dream about it with the expensive property prices in Shanghai. She always remembered that all of this was brought to her by Luo Feng. Therefore, when he sold the house, he specially left a few good houses and immediately asked Luo Feng if he needed them. According to her estimation, the property prices near Ting Feng Hospital would definitely increase greatly in the future. It would be more than two times higher. It could be said that it was an investment that would not lose money. Just as she thought, Luo Feng spent money to buy two buildings. However, it was not for investment. It was for the hospital employees to use as dormitories. Whether it was the doctor or the cleaning lady, those who lived too far away could directly apply to live next to the hospital. The rent was 500 yuan a month. Luo Feng¡¯s benefits were simply rubbing the high expenditure of Shanghai under his feet. For a moment, working at Ting Feng Hospital was even more enviable than being a civil servant. Not only did Luo Feng buy two buildings, but he also bought two shops with prime locations at the entrance. He kept them for Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop. He was like a hardworking farmer. He opened Good Me¡¯s milk tea shop all over the streets and alleys like scattering seeds. Furthermore, Luo Feng had already chosen the store manager here¡ªLei Jin. Xiao Fei had relied on being the store manager of the milk tea shop to become a rich lady, so did Lei Jin. After training at Good Me Milk Tea Headquarters for a period of time, Lei Jin had already set a small goal¡ªto save money to buy a house and marry a wife. He wanted to earn 800,000 yuan to show off his strength so that Song Xue could follow him in the future. Moreover, he opened a milk tea shop at the entrance of the hospital while Song Xue worked in the hospital. The two of them were not far apart, so it was no different from working together. Lei Jin could even eat in the hospital¡¯s staff canteen. The more time the two of them spent together, the more their relationship grew. Not long after, Lei Jin prepared to bring Song Xue home to see his mother. The lives of the nearby residents had changed because of Ting Feng Hospital, driving the economy of the surrounding area. Luo Feng was also very happy. Not only that, but the funding for medical students also began a second process¡ªa teacher-student competition. This was a competition that was held once a year. As long as it was a medical student¡¯s teacher or student, they could sign up to participate. The content of the competition was nothing more than medicine-related. Every profession was divided into different racetracks. After the students competed with the teachers, the one with the highest score would receive a reward of 500,000 yuan. If there were any research projects in the future, they could apply for subsidies based on the championship trophy. As soon as this competition was announced, it caused a heated discussion among the various medical schools. In particular, the magnificence of the prizes and the high frequency of the annual awards were enough to show the strength of the organizers. Every year, the competition would be held in the summer. The second week after the summer vacation, the participants would have the entire summer vacation to prepare. For this, Luo Feng invited a professional team to plan the competition and regulated the competition¡¯s envy. The registration could begin two months before the start of the competition. As this was his first time, Luo Feng was worried that there would be too few people signing up, so he did a lot of publicity. He did not expect everyone to sign up enthusiastically for the prize money. In just a few days, it exceeded Luo Feng¡¯s expectations. They were going to get busy seeing that there were more people. Luo Feng quickly left the work to the professionals while he focused on taking care of Ai Tingya. ¡°How¡¯s the new milk tea shop opening?¡± ¡°It went very well.¡± ¡°Is Song Xue¡¯s internship going smoothly? Can she adapt to the new environment?¡± ¡°Not only has she gotten used to it, she has also been very sweet with Lei Jin every day.¡± ¡°Is the company operating normally?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll keep an eye out.¡± Ai Tingya was still worried even though she was in the late stages of pregnancy. Her emotions became exceptionally sensitive perhaps because of the changes in her hormones. Even the slightest movement made her think for a long time. At this time, Luo Feng was the irreplaceable person when she needed someone to accompany her the most. ¡°I¡¯m here. Everything is in order. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Luo Feng held Ai Tingya¡¯s hand and slowly walked around the district. Ai Tingya¡¯s abdomen was bulging. She was about to give birth in a month. Chapter 449 - Chapter 449 A Big Test! The Fetus Moved, Mother Suppresses The Entire Situation! Chapter 449 A Big Test! The Fetus Moved, Mother Suppresses The Entire Situation! Chapter 449 A Big Test! The Fetus Moved, Mother Suppresses The Entire Situation! ?Ai Tingya was probably destined to work hard. Or rather, the environment she had lived in since she was young made it impossible for her to stop. Ai Tingya had changed a lot after following Luo Feng, but she still liked a busy life because that would give her a sense of security and a realistic feeling of being down-to-earth. She still did not want to stay in the hospital every day even though she was about to give birth. Should she wheedle and ask Luo Feng to bring her out for a walk? It didn¡¯t matter if she went to the studio or the farmyard to watch Xiao Chun and the rest shoot, or to help out at the milk tea shop. In short, the bigger Ai Tingya¡¯s stomach was, the more she couldn¡¯t stay idle. Luo Feng was also very troubled by this. He didn¡¯t want Ai Tingya to be sad, nor did he want her to run around. Therefore, what he had to do every day was to take Ai Tingya for a stroll. At the same time, he had to tell Ai Tingya everything that had happened today. ¡°When can I go back to work?¡± Ai Tingya looked at the trees above her head and missed her old life. ¡°You can go back anytime you want when the child is born and you¡¯ve recovered,¡± Luo Feng said dotingly. ¡°But not now.¡± Ai Tingya continued, ¡°If I go to work and don¡¯t have time to accompany the child, will he be sad? He will definitely be sad. I¡¯d better accompany him.¡± She, who was about to become a mother, was in a dilemma. She wanted to accompany the child, but she also wanted to innovate with Luo Feng. Every time this happened, Ai Tingya would always think of the cartoons she had watched to pass the time. The protagonist in the cartoons knew how to create clones. One person could do the work of several people. When they fought, they would call out a large group of clones. They were especially imposing. This might be the superpower she wanted the most. ¡°If only I knew the cloning technique. One is waiting to give birth, one is going to work, and one is accompanying Grandpa. Three is enough.¡± Ai Tingya counted on her fingers. ¡°Haha, doesn¡¯t that mean I have three wives?¡± Luo Feng thought of the interest. Would the three Ai Tingyas be able to get three sets of cashbacks? Then, he would be able to lie flat at home and live a life of living off his wife. ¡°All three of them are me, so you only have one wife.¡± Ai Tingya snorted. Thinking about it, it would not be bad if there were really three of her to consume Luo Feng¡¯s endless energy. This way, she would not complain about things that were inappropriate for children every night. At this thought, Ai Tingya shook her head. Why did she think of something strange again? It would be too embarrassing if Luo Feng found out. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why is your face red?¡± Luo Feng noticed that Ai Tingya had her head lowered and stopped talking about the cloning technique. He gently placed his hand on Ai Tingya¡¯s forehead worried that she was feeling unwell. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Ai Tingya avoided Luo Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°I just remembered something¡­ Forget it, let¡¯s go forward.¡± Ai Tingya¡¯s body became heavier as time passed, but she still wanted to move more. She had to make sufficient preparations and accumulate enough strength to welcome her child, recalling the painful expressions of the mothers who gave birth on the Internet. ¡°Speaking of which, I¡¯m a little afraid.¡± Ai Tingya leaned on Luo Feng¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s so painful to give birth, and it¡¯s my first time. What should I do?¡± This might be the biggest problem Ai Tingya had encountered since she met Luo Feng. In the past, Luo Feng and her could think of a way together, all the difficulties were easily resolved. However, Luo Feng could not help her give birth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you suffer.¡± Luo Feng patted Ai Tingya¡¯s hand gently, hoping to transfer his power to her. ¡°Seriously, you¡¯re coaxing me again.¡± Ai Tingya looked angry and thought that Luo Feng had said it casually. ¡°When have I ever coaxed you?¡± Luo Feng tightened his grip on Ai Tingya¡¯s hand. ¡°I mean what I say. I never lie.¡± Ai Tingya still nodded even though she knew that this was nonsense. Luo Feng had built a hospital for her to give birth to. There was nothing more considerate than this. She could not find a reason to complain. ¡°It¡¯s good to have you.¡± Ai Tingya leaned against Luo Feng, and her uneasiness about the future instantly dissipated. ¡­ Days passed just like that. Every morning, Luo Feng would wake up early and go to the company to take a look. Sometimes it was the Innovative Artist¡¯s side, and sometimes it was Good Me¡¯s headquarters. Gather Sift Takeaway was fully managed by Xie Yan and did not need him to be distracted nor worry. He went home in the afternoon, chatted with Ai Tingya in the afternoon and at night, exercised, and read some books on childbirth and education. Mother Luo and Xiao Fei were preparing all kinds of food in the kitchen. Father Luo and Ai Zhaojiang were playing chess in the courtyard. Occasionally, they would pull Luo Feng and his wife over to be judges. According to the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, Ai Zhaojiang would usually be judged as the winner. Father Luo was unconvinced. The two of them proceeded to the next round. The days were simple and heartwarming. Everyone counted the days together and waited for the arrival of the new family member. However, there would always be arguments. No one in the family would give in to each other with regards to the child¡¯s name. Everyone had prepared two alternatives even without knowing the child¡¯s gender. When there was nothing to do, they would compete to see who could achieve better and who could achieve more meaningful results. Finally, after waiting for 38 weeks, Ai Tingya¡¯s stomach finally moved. That day, the family was sitting on the sofa watching Innovative Artist¡¯s new comedy variety show. Xiao Chun also made a cameo in it, and all kinds of funny games made everyone laugh non-stop. The family, from the old to the young, were all loyal fans of comedy variety shows. They had to watch every episode and not miss a single episode. They would laugh until they rocked back and forth every time. Until Ai Tingya suddenly called out. The living room suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sound effects of the television. Father Luo immediately lowered the volume. Everyone held their breaths and watched Ai Tingya. She held her stomach and the faint water stains on her dress gradually expanded. ¡°My stomach¡­ hurts a little¡­¡± Ai Tingya said softly as she felt her abdomen tighten. ¡°She¡¯s about to give birth!¡± Mother Luo was the most savvy and immediately steadied the flustered men at home. ¡°Xiao Feng, go and drive. Come and help Tingya after you park at the entrance.¡± ¡°Xiao Fei, go get the ID. It¡¯s in the bag hanging behind the door. Just bring the whole thing over.¡± ¡°Xiao Feng¡¯s father, go and push out the luggage in our room. Inside are the supplies I¡¯ve prepared!¡± Even though Ting Feng Hospital was also prepared, Mother Luo was still worried and felt that it was better for her to do it herself. Ai Zhaojiang was also eagerly waiting to help, but Mother Luo said, ¡°Professor Ai, accompany Tingya first and calm her down.¡± ¡°Alright, hurry up and go!¡± The whole family got busy and put everything in the car. Due to the increase in the number of family members, Luo Feng specially changed to an SUV. He could bring the entire family in one car and even have a spare seat. ¡°Get in the car! Get in the car!¡± Mother Luo was like a calm commander, getting the family into their respective positions ¡ª Calm and orderly! Chapter 450 - Chapter 450 I Will Love You Forever, Forever and Forever Chapter 450 I Will Love You Forever, Forever and Forever Chapter 450 I Will Love You Forever, Forever and Forever ?Ai Tingya¡¯s luck was not bad. The break in the water happened to be after work. Most people either ate at mealtime or at home. There were not many cars on the streets, and the roads were not congested. Luo Feng had always been calm but his hands trembled uncontrollably when he thought about how Ai Tingya was about to give birth. Everyone was a little nervous. ¡°Luo Feng, drive slower. I¡¯m fine.¡± Ai Tingya hugged her stomach and comforted Luo Feng softly. ¡°No, you already have a reaction. I¡­ If I had known earlier, I would have let you stay in the hospital for a while longer today.¡± Luo Feng¡¯s voice was a little weak. In the morning, they even went to Lei Jin¡¯s milk tea shop to sit for a while and help Lei Jin analyze his love life. Luo Feng would have let Ai Tingya stay tonight in the hospital if he had known her water was going to break tonight. ¡°I¡¯m really fine,¡± Ai Tingya said. ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem to hurt anymore.¡± ¡°What?¡± The three inexperienced men and the young lady¡¯s hearts were in their throats. Mother Luo was like a stabilizing force as she appeared and explained, ¡°These are all normal phenomena. It¡¯s just right to go to the hospital now. Tingya can suffer less pain.¡± ¡°So, Xiao Feng, drive steadily.¡± When it came to giving birth, Mother Luo was the one who had the most say. Hence, the entire family listened to her at this time. Mother Luo talked about giving birth to Luo Feng worried that Ai Tingya would be too nervous. ¡°Tingya, don¡¯t be nervous. Take a deep breath and relax. Right!¡± ¡°I was tortured to death when I gave birth to Xiao Feng back then. This kid didn¡¯t bother about the timing and wanted to come out in the middle of the night. His father and I were frightened and rushed to the hospital. In the end, he stopped moving.¡± ¡°It was fine when he was born. The pain quickly passed. It¡¯s just that this kid¡¯s umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, and he almost became a fool due to lack of oxygen. Fortunately, it was all a false alarm and he still has a smart little brain.¡± They chatted and laughed along the way, and everyone felt much more relaxed. Luo Feng was about to return to his normal state when he suddenly braked and stopped the car. A man knelt in front of the car and kowtowed. ¡°Help, please save my wife!¡± Afraid that the car would turn and drive away, he leaned against the window and said, ¡°My wife is about to give birth. Please give her a ride. There are really no cars around here.¡± When they looked again, they saw a pregnant woman sitting by the roadside. She had a painful expression and was panting heavily. Her reaction was much greater than Ai Tingya¡¯s. Mother Luo jumped down without thinking and helped the pregnant woman into the car with the man. ¡°Thank you, thank you. Good people, thank you!¡± The man nodded repeatedly. He would have knelt down if not for the narrow space in the car. The pregnant woman endured the discomfort and thanked them twice. Mother Luo was a passionate person. She chased Father Luo to the back seat to make room for them. She smiled and said, ¡°My daughter-in-law is going to have a child too. It¡¯s on the way.¡± The two people who had just gotten into the car did not expect to encounter such a coincidence. They leaned forward and saw that the person in the front passenger seat was indeed pregnant. ¡°Which hospital are you going to?¡± The pregnant woman asked with concern, ¡°Is it the city hospital?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s Ting Feng Hospital,¡± Mother Luo said. ¡°Are you guys going to the city hospital?¡± Logically speaking, it would be best if the pregnant woman was given a pregnancy test in which hospital so that she could understand her health more easily. However, there were two pregnant women in the car now, so it was a problem to send which one first. Moreover, the city hospital and Ting Feng Hospital were in two different directions. It was really inconvenient. ¡°We don¡¯t have that much money. We can¡¯t go to Ting Feng Hospital.¡± The man¡¯s first concern was money. The two of them were dressed in normal clothes and did not have a private car. They looked like ordinary working class people. Ting Feng Hospital was a high-end place, so they really could not afford to stay there. At this moment, the pregnant woman screamed again. Ai Tingya might have been affected, and her expression did not look too good. Luo Feng knew that he could not send the two of them off separately, so he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m the boss of Ting Feng Hospital. Just give birth there without worry.¡± He held the steering wheel with one hand and made a call with his phone with the other. He asked the hospital to prepare. The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Two stretchers had been prepared for a long time. They got out of the car and sent Ai Tingya and the other pregnant woman into the operating theater. Everyone stood outside and waited anxiously. ¡°Strange, why isn¡¯t there any sound?¡± Mother Luo stood at the door and tiptoed to see what was going on inside. She didn¡¯t hear the screams of the two pregnant women. ¡°Did something happen?¡± The man was in a panic and was about to cry. At this moment, a nurse came out of the operating theater and asked the family members to sign the responsibility document. The two husbands signed it trembling. When the nurse went in, there was still no movement inside. Luo Feng said, ¡°I found a foreign doctor who can help them give birth painlessly. It¡¯s normal for there to be no sound, so don¡¯t be anxious. Don¡¯t be anxious.¡± His words seemed to be comforting the others, but also to comfort himself. Even though he had made full preparations, Luo Feng could not help but feel nervous. He paced around outside the operating theater. After an unknown period of time, the operating theater door was opened. Two nurses were carrying two babies. One called the pregnant woman¡¯s name, and the other walked straight to Luo Feng. ¡°Congratulations, Boss. Little Young Master, weighs 3.8 kilograms. Carry him.¡± The nurse carefully handed the newborn into Luo Feng¡¯s arms. At that moment, Luo Feng¡¯s eyes burned and he could not help but cry. This was his child, Ai Tingya and his child. After two lifetimes, he finally had a child of his own. Mother Luo, Father Luo, Ai Zhaojiang, and Xiao Fei all rushed over and surrounded the child, looking at him non-stop. The entire family was overjoyed at the birth of a new life, making the other father who was carrying the child seem a little lonely. They couldn¡¯t help but feel a little envious. Luo Feng sniffed and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Tingya? Is she alright?¡± ¡°The pregnant woman is fine. She¡¯ll be out after some observation.¡± The nurse took the newborn and was about to send him to the neonatal care unit. The accompanying family members asked Mother Luo and Father Luo to go over while the others stayed behind to wait for Ai Tingya. Luo Feng¡¯s worried heart finally relaxed when the bed was out. He rushed to the bed and stroked Ai Tingya¡¯s hair. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Ai Tingya grabbed Luo Feng and said, ¡°You really didn¡¯t lie to me. It doesn¡¯t hurt at all.¡± ¡°But of course.¡± The car pushed into the ward. Luo Feng only had eyes for Ai Tingya and was unwilling to leave her for a moment. Ai Tingya knew that Luo Feng was worried about her. She said gently, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to see the child?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll stay by your side.¡± Luo Feng sat by the bed. ¡°Look at me. I even forgot to prepare flowers.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good to have you.¡± The two of them were deeply in love and did not notice that the other pregnant woman had also been pushed in. The man did not expect that he could have such luck when his wife gave birth. Thanks to this boss, his wife did not suffer at all when she gave birth very smoothly. He wanted to thank them, but was squeezed out by the atmosphere between Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. In any case, they were already living together. There was no hurry. The man thought to himself and imitated Luo Feng to stay by his wife¡¯s side. ¡°There¡¯s someone here.¡± Ai Tingya was a little embarrassed. She grabbed Luo Feng¡¯s lips with her fingers and prevented him from saying anything mushy. Luo Feng was a little unhappy. He had finally sent Ai Zhaojiang and Xiao Fei away and asked them to go somewhere else. He and Ai Tingya would stay for a while longer. Unexpectedly, there were two third wheels. However, when he saw Ai Tingya, who had just given birth, Luo Feng¡¯s heart softened again. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We still have a long, long time. I can tell you about it slowly until you get sick of it.¡± He bent down and planted a kiss on Ai Tingya¡¯s forehead. Luo Feng recalled that in his previous life, Ai Tingya had also guarded him like this. However, at that time, he was waiting for death. At this moment, he welcomed his child¡¯s rebirth. All of this was brought to him by Ai Tingya! ¡°I will love you, forever and ever!¡±
