Chapter 155 Exhibition
"Let me check it out first," Zhang Lan took over Wang Bo’s assessment report with an outward calm, but inside she was utterly shocked. Good heavens! What was going on, what exactly had her son come up with, a formula worth 5 billion – how could that be possible!
Suppressing the shock in her heart, she read through the assessment report from the Munich Laboratory seriously. Only now did Zhang Lan realize why the formula was worth 5 billion; the technology had completely surpassed the related products of this era, it was epoch-making. Thus, it was destined to monopolize the market upon release!
She truly couldn’t believe that her son had invented such a formula – a formula worth 5 billion! Staring at the assessment report, Zhang Lan couldn’t help but be flabbergasted.
...
Lin Feng arrived punctually in his car at the front gate of Yingbo University. Seeing Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu already waiting there, he felt rather embarrassed. If it hadn’t been for Wang Bo visiting his home early in the morning, they wouldn’t have had to wait.
"Ye Xiaoyu, Mao Rongrong!" Lin Feng opened his car window and shouted to them, waving his hand to signal them to come aboard.
"Teacher Lin, it’s Teacher Lin! Sister Rongrong!" Ye Xiaoyu heard Lin Feng’s voice and, seeing that he had come in a car, was thrilled. She hurriedly pulled Mao Rongrong toward Lin Feng’s car.
"Can’t you walk slower, always so brash," Mao Rongrong tapped on Ye Xiaoyu’s head, feeling helpless with her friend who had always been heartless and lungless, lacking the elegance of a girl, always acting like a boy.
"But I want Sister Rongrong to talk with Teacher Lin as soon as possible!" Ye Xiaoyu’s eyes spun as she said this, and chuckled towards Mao Rongrong.
"What did you say? Let me talk to Teacher Lin as soon as possible? Make it clear what you mean, you little wretch!" Mao Rongrong frowned upon hearing Ye Xiaoyu’s words, reached out to pinch Ye Xiaoyu’s cheek, and demanded to know exactly what she meant. If Teacher Lin overheard, wouldn’t it lead to a misunderstanding?
But did she really not have any feelings for Teacher Lin? Thinking of this, Mao Rongrong’s face turned rosy.
"Haha, can’t catch me." How could Ye Xiaoyu let Mao Rongrong pinch her cheek? She dodged Mao Rongrong’s hand and ran towards Lin Feng’s car.
Mao Rongrong, seeing Ye Xiaoyu running towards Lin Feng’s direction, followed immediately, fearful that Ye Xiaoyu might blurt out something inappropriate!
"Teacher Lin, good morning! You really are punctual, arriving right at nine o’clock," Ye Xiaoyu ran up to Lin Feng’s car and said as she leaned in.
"Why did you guys come so early, wasn’t it agreed to meet at nine?" Lin Feng checked his watch, it was just nine o’clock, wasn’t it said that girls generally liked to be late, why were they so early?
"You have no idea, we arrived long ago, Sister Rongrong... ouch!" Ye Xiaoyu was about to spill the beans about their early arrival, but before she could finish, Mao Rongrong pinched her butt. It was so painful that she had no choice but to stop talking, rubbing her butt while looking at Mao Rongrong with a pitiful expression. Why did Sister Rongrong pinch her, and why so swiftly and fiercely? Was it just because she wanted to disclose they came early wanting to see Teacher Lin sooner? Was it necessary to react like this?
"Stop the chit-chat and make Teacher Lin wait, get in the car!" Mao Rongrong pointed to the car door, and Ye Xiaoyu obediently got in the car, not daring to say another word, no comment was as important as her own butt.
"Where is that French exhibition supposed to be?" Once they were both in the car, Lin Feng proactively asked the location of the exhibition; how could he go without knowing the place?
"I know this, it’s at the Tianhai Convention and Exhibition Center," Ye Xiaoyu replied immediately upon hearing something she knew, and looked meaningfully at Mao Rongrong with a smug smile, making Mao Rongrong extremely nervous. This bestie of hers could be so mischievously troublesome at times.
"OK!" Having heard the destination, Lin Feng immediately started the car...
"Wow, that’s the convention center, it’s beautiful!" Ye Xiaoyu exclaimed in admiration as she got out of the car and saw the majestic convention center. It had been half a year since she came to Tianhai, and this was her first time out and about. It felt really great!
"Yes, it is pretty!" Mao Rongrong also couldn’t resist praising it, the convention center was indeed beautiful, and coming to this exhibition was definitely the right decision.
Lin Feng looked at the two of them staring at the convention center in a daze and shook his head, then went to find a parking spot.
"Teacher Lin, come on! Let’s go in and have fun!" Ye Xiaoyu saw Lin Feng return after parking the car and immediately grabbed his hand to pull him into the convention center, also looking forward to the exhibition being quite exceptional.
Being pulled by Ye Xiaoyu, Lin Feng also felt quite helpless, thinking that Ye Xiaoyu was too energetic today. But since it was a day out for fun, enjoying it was all that mattered, and he reached out to take Mao Rongrong’s hand too.
Mao Rongrong instinctively wanted to pull back when Lin Feng grabbed her hand, and her face flushed, but seeing that Lin Feng’s eyes were always on Ye Xiaoyu, she realized he was just holding her hand to walk together. Her heart settled, yet it still felt like two rabbits were hopping inside, and her mind became a jumble, wondering what Lin Feng really thought of her, if he liked her...
It has to be said, the trio of Lin Feng walking on the street was very eye-catching – a man who wasn’t particularly handsome flanked by two top-notch beauties. Anyone who saw them couldn’t help but give them a second glance.
"Can you believe that guy’s luck, hogging two such top-notch beauties all by himself, if I could have just one, I’d be over the moon!"
"As for you, forget about it. Are we even in the league to think about that kind of woman? To put it bluntly, our month’s salary isn’t even comparable to one of their bags. It’s better to be aware of our own status."
"Then how does that guy manage to walk down the street holding hands with two beauties? If it were me, now that would be something to be proud of."
"No kidding. Who wouldn’t want to be with such beauties? That’s what you call a life!"
"Ah, never mind two beauties. If I had one such beauty to go shopping with me, I’d do anything she asked!"
"You’re dreaming up a storm, buddy. And not just any beauty, but one like that. I’d be content with someone half as pretty!"
"Heh, I’m just talking I guess, envying and being jealous of that guy!"
...
The two patrolling guards couldn’t help but whisper to each other when they saw the young man flanked by two beautiful women. Ye Xiaoyu and Mao Rongrong were truly stunning. Both guards were thinking how wonderful it would be to be that young man, to have two beauties at their side—what an immortal-like existence!
Beautiful women! Who is this young man, and how does he get to stroll around with two beauties?
Why isn’t that person me? Am I any less handsome than that guy? Why can he do it, but not me!
Two beauties—what on earth is the identity of this guy that allows him to have beauties on each arm?
Must be some rich kid out for a wander...
...
Many pedestrians on the road also took note of the trio, marveling at the beauty of the two women and feeling envious of Lin Feng for his good fortune to be out with such gorgeous company. They thought him incredibly lucky!
Inside the Convention Center, the three of them quickly found the French exhibition hall. To their surprise, as soon as they entered, Ye Xiaoyu excitedly dragged Lin Feng over, running here and there, looking at everything with the curiosity of a child.
"Wow, Teacher Lin, look at this! This is so beautiful!" Ye Xiaoyu pointed at a sculpture of two people kissing. Although it was just an ordinary sculpture, it looked so unique and beautiful!
"Yeah, it’s really beautiful!" Mao Rongrong also felt that this sculpture was truly exceptional, giving off an involuntarily comforting feeling.
"This sculpture is called ’The Kiss.’ It is one of the iconic works by Rodin, the most famous French sculptor of the 18th century. It was completed in 1886. The original inspiration came from Dante’s ’The Divine Comedy: Inferno,’ depicting two figures seated together on a rock, their upper bodies close together, creating a stable triangular structure. The woman embracing her lover with passion allows herself to lean on him, stretching comfortably, pushing the limits of feminine allure with her body creating a gentle ’S’ curve from hand to foot. The strong yet awkward man seems overwhelmed by this sudden passion yet appears unable to contain his amazement, as if the kiss is a blissful dream. He dares not embrace the woman too tightly, his movements gentle, fearful of inadvertently losing her.
Rodin, whose sculptures often celebrate love, has many works to his name, but internationally, ’The Kiss’ is second only to ’The Thinker.’ As one of Europe’s three greatest master sculptors, Rodin led the transition from classicism to modernism in sculpture. He transcended romanticism, schools of thought, and the bounds of time and place, becoming a resplendent star in world history!" Lin Feng naturally narrated the details about the sculpture.
"Ah! Teacher Lin, how do you know all this in such detail?" Ye Xiaoyu’s eyes were fixed solely on Lin Feng. How did Teacher Lin know so much, as if he had studied it specially? Although she knew Teacher Lin was fluent in French, it didn’t make sense that he would also be so knowledgeable about French history!
"Yeah, Teacher Lin, how do you know all this?" Not only Ye Xiaoyu but also Mao Rongrong was astonished by Lin Feng’s explanation. Usually, who would know such detail? It’s normal not to know, but Teacher Lin could speak about it so comprehensively—how did he do it?
Yeah, who is he, and how does he know all this? It seems like the information plaques don’t even have these explanations!
Who is this young man, and how come he knows so much?
He’s so young, how come he’s so familiar with these things?
He must have just happened to know about this. Who would bother memorizing so much knowledge?
...
The few people nearby heard Lin Feng’s explanation and were curious about how such a young man could possess such knowledge. Was it possible that he had studied it before? Otherwise, how could he possibly know so much!
