NOVEL NEXT Chapter 290 Old Man!
But.
Despite all the mocking, Qin Feng ignored them as if they were ants, acting as though he hadn't heard anything.
Xiao Lian's temperament was also extraordinary. After receiving a week of special training from a teacher hired by Wei Yunxiang, she too acted as if nothing was happening, chatting with Qin Feng with ease.
This made their ridicule not only feel like a punch thrown at cotton—lacking any strength—but also made themselves look like clowns.
This infuriated them even more.
One of the handsome guys with an earring decided to embarrass Qin Feng.
The best way to embarrass him would be to steal his girlfriend, which would make him lose all dignity.
"Hey, beautiful, hello." The handsome guy struck a very cool pose, extending his hand towards Xiao Lian, "I'm Ren Tianlun!"
Xiao Lian merely nodded politely in response, leaving his outstretched hand hanging awkwardly in the air.
"Are you from Lake City, beauty?"
Ren Tianlun continued with a smile.
Xiao Lian still ignored him.
Seeing this, Ren Tianlun said again, "I'm a born and bred Lake City local. Do you know about Fengyun Group?"
"Oh?"
Xiao Lian showed a hint of surprise.
Seeing her finally responding, Ren Tianlun felt secretly pleased and said, "My dad works at Fengyun Group, he's a top executive there. You know President Wei, right? The president of the group. Yes, my dad works under her."
"Oh."
Xiao Lian nodded and continued to ignore him.
Seeing her unresponsive again, Ren Tianlun furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Beauty, you can't be unaware of how incredible President Wei is? Seems like I need to explain to you..."
He was just about to start explaining.
Qin Feng, unable to restrain himself, intervened, "Hey, brother, we all know Wei Yunxiang is remarkable, but what does that have to do with you?"
"..."
Ren Tianlun was suddenly at a loss for words.
Damn it!
Is this guy an idiot?
If Wei Yunxiang... oh no, I mean President Wei is impressive, that naturally means my dad who works under her is impressive too!
His friends couldn't hold back either, berating Qin Feng, "You country bumpkin, how can you be so clueless, daring to address President Wei by her name? Do you no longer want to mix in Lake City?"
"That's right, if someone were to find out, you probably wouldn't even know how you died!"
"I'm saying, beautiful, our Young Master Ren is interested in you, don't stick with that country bumpkin. You've never even been on a plane, what future do you have? If you're with our Young Master Ren, he could get you a good job at Fengyun Group."
"..."
They were all talking at once.
Xiao Lian maintained her indifferent demeanor and said, "Sorry, not interested, thank you. Could you please keep it down? You are disturbing everyone."
"You..."
Ren Tianlun was frustrated.
Whether in terms of wealth or looks, he thought he was the best in Lake City, and his advances had never been rejected by a woman—this was a first!
"Beauty, don't be ungrateful, you should go to Lake City and ask about me, Ren Tianlun. You're rejecting me in front of so many people, do you know my dad could make a call and make it impossible for you to stay in Lake City?" Ren Tianlun said with a grim expression.
Xiao Lian paid no attention to him.
Qin Feng turned his head and snickered at him.
Ren Tianlun got even angrier and yelled, "Believe it or not, I can make it so you can't escape the trouble I'll cause you right now!"
At this moment.
Suddenly a slap sounded, striking across his face.
Ren Tianlun was stunned.
He looked up.
It was his father, returning from the restroom.
"Dad, why... why are you hitting me?"
Ren Tianlun was utterly bewildered.
His dad didn't even bother to pay attention to him and hurriedly bent down to apologize to Xiao Lian and Qin Feng: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Qin, I am truly sorry. I have failed in my discipline, please be magnanimous..."
With that said,
He hurriedly slapped Ren Tianlun again, shouting, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Yu and Mr. Qin!"
"..."
Ren Tianlun was stunned, completely clueless as to why his dad was so fearful of two people who hadn't even taken that many flights.
He didn't know that Xiao Lian's last name was Yu, and that after Wei Yunxiang finished training her, a headquarters meeting was held to confirm Xiao Lian's nominal position as President's Assistant, so that she could conveniently issue orders directly to senior management on behalf of Qin Feng in the future.
As for Qin Feng,
Nowadays, people familiar with Wanfu Building or Wei Yunxiang simply couldn't afford to underestimate him.
It was evident that President Wei regarded him very strangely.
Whether it was because he was truly the "lucky star," or because he took a liking to him, he treated him with great respect, almost as if he was a revered elder deeply honored by Wanfu Building.
So Mr. Ren was even more untouchable.
At this moment,
Qin Feng casually waved his hand at Mr. Ren, saying, "It's fine, they're just kids. Just have them keep their distance."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Qin, for your forgiveness."
Mr. Ren hastily said.
Then he immediately grabbed Ren Tianlun and the others, intending to leave the plane.
"Dad, didn't they say just to keep a distance? We can change seats..."
Ren Tianlun said.
"Where's your brain?"
Mr. Ren looked at him as if he was disappointed, really wanting to slap him again.
When the leader speaks of keeping a distance,
It's not the mere "distance" you're thinking of. You've got to be perceptive!
Very soon,
They left the plane and could only catch the next flight.
On the plane,
Qin Feng took a sip of water and said, "Finally, it's quiet."
Xiao Lian was a bit puzzled at this time and asked in a low voice, "I heard from President Wei that not many people know your boss's identity. Does he know? He was so respectful to you just now."
"No, I'm the 'lucky star' of Wanfu Building, right?"
Qin Feng smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"I see, I thought you had been exposed."
Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment,
An old man suddenly sat down behind them, sizing up Qin Feng as if scrutinizing a juicy piece of braised pork, clicking his tongue and saying, "Not bad, not bad..."
"Who are you?"
Qin Feng turned his head to look at the old man.
The old man wore a pair of black round glasses, dressed in a gray robe, with a salt-and-pepper beard, his eyes full of benevolence.
"Young man, are you the 'lucky star' of Wanfu Building?" the old man inquired.
"That's right."
"Then I've found the right person."
The old man smiled and said, "Some days ago, I accidentally heard that there is a Wanfu Building in Lake City, and that the Shifang Taoist had appointed a 'lucky star' to bring great fortune and prosperity to Wanfu Building."
"So I came to Lake City to observe."
"Initially, I couldn't believe that the esteemed Shifang Taoist would take interest in a small establishment in Little Lake City, but judging from my observations of Wei Yunxiang, she treats you with great deference, as if you held the lifeblood of Wanfu Building in your hands. Thus, I can confirm that perhaps you really are the person appointed by the Shifang Taoist, which is why Wei Yunxiang treats you so well."
"I've been unable to discern anything special about you."
"But, based on my observations, with your presence, Wanfu Building truly has been thriving, and what's more, Wei Yunxiang even managed to become the Manager of Fengyun Group in such a short period."
"This must be the good fortune you, as the 'lucky star,' brought to her!"
