Chapter 153: The 5 Billion Formula
"Why wait until next year? This matter is quite simple; can’t you just say it?" Leng Mei didn’t understand what Ding Wan’er meant. It’s just a matter of sorting out Lin Feng’s work to transfer to my department, so why wait until next year? What does timing have to do with it!
She wanted to ask clearly what the reason was for having to wait until next year when she suddenly also noticed that Ding Wan’er’s complexion seemed off, alternating between red and white. Could it be that Girl Ding was ill?
"Because winter vacation is about to start, let’s talk about it after the New Year," Ding Wan’er barely managed to find a barely reasonable excuse for herself. However, her own heart was just recently startled by Leng Mei’s questioning, feeling anxiety within. Why am I so nervous, isn’t it just about finding an excuse? Why am I getting this worked up!
Oh my God, do I really like Lin Feng? Otherwise, why would I have become like this!
But...
"Girl Ding, do you have some unspeakable difficulties?" Leng Mei felt that Ding Wan’er was really off, her emotions seeming very unstable, acting as if her mind was elsewhere with everything she did. Obviously, she didn’t want anything wrong to happen to Girl Ding. As a good sister, of course, she wanted to ask. If she could help, wouldn’t that be better?
"Sister Leng, can you please not ask? Lin Feng’s treatment can be raised, but can we not transfer his position for now?" Ding Wan’er, pressed by Leng Mei’s questioning, didn’t know how to reply, so she resorted to her trump card: acting coy and willfully begging Leng Mei not to ask anything further.
Her own heart was already very conflicted. As Lin Feng revealed some things at Tianhai, it put him on an unbelievably high pedestal, his brilliance now too mesmerizing, making even the ever-proud herself feel worthless by comparison. This is the gap!
Even though Lin Feng is still my fiancé, I never realized that he was surrounded by such splendid qualities. Such an outstanding person will one day be snatched away by someone else. If I don’t take action, I might not even have a chance in the future, and this hard-earned status as a fiancée would really evaporate into thin air. But I really lack the courage to take these steps; I’ve never chased boys before. How am I going to do it?
"Then, I won’t ask anymore." Leng Mei saw Ding Wan’er still looking down, lost in thought, and didn’t want to disrupt her train of thinking. Since she didn’t want to talk, it wasn’t good to keep probing. If it led to any unpleasantness, it would be better not to ask. A sister always hopes for the best for her younger sibling...
...
Time flew by, and just like that, the winter vacation was upon them. Facing the end of the year’s various tasks, the school was also going through the motions of holding an annual summary conference to award individuals who had shown outstanding and excellent work throughout the year.
"Mao Rongrong, Ye Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?" On his way to the auditorium to attend the summary conference, Lin Feng was surprised to see Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu. Weren’t all the school students already on vacation? Why were they still at school?
"Teacher Lin, Rongrong and I are here waiting for you!" Ye Xiaoyu, wearing a cute fluffy coat, smiled cheerily at Lin Feng.
"It was you who insisted on coming to find Teacher Lin, okay!" Mao Rongrong’s face flushed upon hearing Ye Xiaoyu’s words, hastening to clarify that she wasn’t waiting for Lin Feng with Xiaoyu, but why she was so flustered about it, she did not know herself.
"Everyone is on holiday; why haven’t you gone home?" Lin Feng looked at the two campus beauties. Other students rushed home once vacation started, but he didn’t know why these two weren’t eager to return. Could there be some important reason?
"Nothing much; I just wanted to stay a couple more days. Teacher Lin, are you free tomorrow?" Ye Xiaoyu grabbed Lin Feng’s hand without any hesitation, rocking it as she asked, putting on an act of coquettishness, determined to get Lin Feng’s agreement.
"Hmm? The whole school is on holiday tomorrow, so there shouldn’t be anything." Lin Feng thought for a moment; after the annual summary conference, there really wouldn’t be anything left.
"Sister Rongrong, did you hear that? Teacher Lin has time tomorrow!" Ye Xiaoyu jumped up happily. She and Sister Rongrong had come here early in the morning to wait for Teacher Lin, and their efforts had not been in vain. They had bought their train tickets for the day after tomorrow, and it would have been such a pity if Teacher Lin hadn’t been free; how could they not be thrilled now!
"I heard!" Mao Rongrong’s cheeks were slightly flushed as she stood to the side, head bowed, clutching Ye Xiaoyu tightly. Over the past few months, she realized that she had changed; she used to never show a cheerful face to any man, but now if she didn’t hear Teacher Lin’s lectures for a day, it felt as if something essential was missing, which brought a particularly uncomfortable feeling.
Moreover, every time she heard about what Teacher Lin did, she would have an inexplicable sense of panic. What exactly was happening to her?
"Xiaoyu, what is it that you actually want?" Lin Feng looked at the two campus beauties, who had been waiting for him here early in the morning, not clarifying what it was all about, which felt quite peculiar.
"If you don’t say it, Sister Rongrong, I will. The thing is, Teacher Lin, Sister Rongrong saw a French exhibition held here in Tianhai and wants to go see it with you tomorrow. Actually, the main reason is, we also wanted to go shopping tomorrow, hehe!" Ye Xiaoyu giggled, her carefree demeanor on full display, clearly joyous.
"Xiaoyu, it’s you who wants to go shopping with Teacher Lin, I’ll just tag along, okay?" Mao Rongrong’s face reddened even more when she heard Ye Xiaoyu say that. What was she talking about? It sounded like I wanted to go shopping alone with Teacher Lin. She hurriedly corrected Xiaoyu’s words.
But secretly, she thought that maybe going shopping alone with Teacher Lin wouldn’t be such a bad idea. For some reason, she always felt very safe whenever Teacher Lin was around.
"Sure, I don’t have anything on for tomorrow, and it would be nice to take a stroll and go shopping." Lin Feng agreed easily. He had no plans for the next day’s holiday and thought accompanying them could be enjoyable.
"Yay! Sister Rongrong, did you hear that? Teacher Lin agreed! We’re all going shopping tomorrow, hahaha!" Ye Xiaoyu was thrilled beyond measure. In the past, the two of them had never dared to venture out for shopping, fearing trouble from bad people. But now with Teacher Lin, they could shop freely and without worry. How could they not be excited!
"Hmm! Look how happy you are!" Mao Rongrong was also extremely pleased to hear Lin Feng’s acceptance. She had been anxious about whether Lin Feng would agree or not, and now she could finally relax. The thought of shopping with Teacher Lin the next day was indescribable, and her cheeks flushed even more.
"Teacher Lin, what time are we leaving tomorrow?" Ye Xiaoyu hadn’t gotten too carried away with her excitement and wanted to settle the departure time with Teacher Lin right away.
"Let’s see, how about nine o’clock tomorrow? I’ll meet you at the main entrance of the school," Lin Feng announced a time directly. It was always a hassle for girls to get ready to go out, so nine o’clock should be enough time.
"Then it’s settled, hahaha!" Now Ye Xiaoyu was ecstatic. She hadn’t had a proper shopping trip for the whole semester, and she was determined to make the most of the following day’s outing.
"Teacher Lin, you can get back to your work. We’ll head back to the dorm now," Mao Rongrong was also very happy, but unlike Xiaoyu, she couldn’t jump around in excitement. Now that they had gotten the answer they wanted, they shouldn’t waste Teacher Lin’s time any longer.
"Alright, that’s good. You two should head back too. It’s quite cold outside." Lin Feng glanced at his watch and indeed couldn’t chat with them any longer. He had a meeting to attend; otherwise, he would really be late.
...
The meeting lasted an entire morning, and aside from Lin Feng going up to the stage once, there was nothing else for him to do. Finally, the session was adjourned, and everyone dispersed cheerfully—holiday at last!
Lin Feng shook his head, holding the Outstanding Teacher award and prize money in his hand—winter break had begun!
The next morning of the holiday, after having breakfast with his parents, Lin Feng prepared to go out for the promised shopping trip with the two school beauties. When it came to appointments, he usually wouldn’t back out.
"Dong dong dong!"
A sudden knocking sound caught Lin Feng by surprise. What time was it, and who could be visiting this early?
"Lin Feng, remember me, right? Hahaha, good morning!" Seeing that it was Lin Feng who opened the door, Wang Bo burst in, grabbing Lin Feng’s hands tightly and greeting him with enthusiasm.
Wang Bo was extremely excited, and it wasn’t just a little bit of excitement!
Because the formula Lin Feng had given him was so promising, he had made a special trip to Germany for repeated experiments and had finally confirmed the optimal synthetic method for the formula. More importantly, the effects of the formula had caused a sensation in Germany. After assessment by the expert group from the world-leading Munich Laboratory, they unanimously agreed that the product was groundbreaking and far surpassed other similar products. Its prospects were immeasurable...
What did that mean? It meant that this product had reached the pinnacle of its field globally; there were no other products that could match it worldwide—an incredible concept!
Therefore, as soon as the evaluation report came out, he was immediately besieged, with many world-famous merchants wanting to buy the formula’s rights outright; the highest bid reached 5 billion! But no matter the offer, it couldn’t be sold, because the formula wasn’t his own, and without Lin Feng’s authorization, he could do nothing. In the end, he had to flee as if from pursuers, barely escaping back home amidst the bombardment of international merchants, which made him deeply understand the rogue style of these foreign capitalists.
Right after getting off the plane, the first thing he did was to have his company’s legal advisor visit Lin Feng. This matter had to be settled quickly, no matter what; otherwise, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble, and it would be problematic if those foreign merchants traced it here!
This was the hope for his factory to turn around; how could he not be anxious or excited?
