Chapter 359 - Listen to Me Now
If I had known Lin Feng was so impressive, I would have made every effort to establish a good relationship with him, but now it’s too late. At the beginning, all I could think about was that Liu Jinming was the new department head, and organizing this dinner was crucial to support our leader. However, nobody expected the situation to unfold like this. What was originally a dinner organized by Director Liu has now evolved to a point where it has nothing to do with him. Instead, Huang Shi, in order to please Lin Feng, took us all here, arranging for everyone to eat a lavish meal at the revolving restaurant.
Even now, as the two of us watched Lin Feng, our minds were full of disbelief. It was incomprehensible how a young person like Lin Feng could know so many things—multiple foreign languages, Taekwondo, and racing skills—which even a wealthy young master like Huang Shi admired and followed. It was just unbelievable...
Leng Mei looked at the array of dishes on the table and estimated that this meal must definitely exceed a million yuan, causing her to be taken aback. Just to learn racing skills from Lin Feng, such an elaborate arrangement was made—a meal worth more than a million yuan. Huang Shi really went to the extreme, but this also implied from another standpoint how extraordinary Lin Feng’s racing skills must be. Otherwise, someone like Huang Shi wouldn’t normally spend a million yuan for a meal, even if his family was wealthy.
I never expected to encounter such an event just by having a meal—first finding out about Lin Feng’s racing skills, and then Huang Shi doing something so extravagant for Lin Feng’s sake. Originally, the dinner was organized by Liu Jinming, but now, it has nothing to do with him anymore. Instead, it’s all about Lin Feng and Huang Shi’s performance here. Thinking about this, Leng Mei looked towards Lin Feng and her heart began to stir again.
It was only by chance today that I met Huang Shi and learned that Lin Feng could also race. Although Leng Mei hadn’t personally seen how extraordinary Lin Feng’s racing skills were, the fact that he could drive an A7 to 300 km/h on the outer ring road is something not just anyone could accomplish. Plus, Huang Shi’s extravagant dinner today was enough proof of Lin Feng’s incredible racing skills.
Lin Feng, what is it that you can’t do? Leng Mei had been pondering this question for a long time without an answer because Lin Feng kept surprising her ever since he appeared. At times she even wondered if Lin Feng was still human—it seemed impossible for someone to achieve what he has! So, faced with such a miraculous person like Lin Feng, Leng Mei thought she must not give up, or she would regret it for the rest of her life. As long as she could be with him, anything was possible...
While Leng Mei was lost in her thoughts, Lin Feng had finished chatting with Shen Yao and put away his phone. He casually picked up a plate, considering getting something to eat. However, when Lin Feng approached the food and saw what was on offer, he was speechless. Huang Shi had really gone overboard, bringing out the best for his pleasure. Lin Feng estimated the cost of the meal to be over a million yuan, and Huang Shi had casually written it off... his own...
"Huang Shi, don’t you think this meal is a bit too extravagant?" Lin Feng looked at Huang Shi and really felt the meal was over the top, so he casually remarked.
"Boss, what’s extravagant about it? It’s just a meal, after all. If you can teach me racing skills, I wouldn’t mind treating you to ten or twenty more meals. Boss, let me serve you some food." Huang Shi, hearing what Lin Feng said, hurriedly explained in a whisper that these dishes were only worth about a hundred thousand yuan and the cost wasn’t much. However, they were marked up tenfold for others, so it’s normal for everyone else to be astonished.
Seeing Lin Feng coming over with a plate, Huang Shi quickly took it from him, picking out some of the more delicious items. Being a regular at his family’s Jinjiang Hotel, he knew which items were tasty. In no time, he filled Lin Feng’s plate and happily handed it back to him.
As Lin Feng received the plate filled with delicacies, his opinion of Huang Shi began to shift. For a young master from a wealthy family like Huang Shi to go to such lengths, it sufficiently showed his sincerity. Lin Feng could tell he was truly eager to learn racing skills. In that case, he decided to let him stay by his side for a while to get to know him better.
"Stay by my side for a while." With that thought, Lin Feng spoke and then, without waiting for the still-dazed Huang Shi, took the plate of food over to where Leng Mei sat. From a distance, he saw her sitting there alone, not having taken any food, perfect for sharing the large plate he had and to strike up a conversation.
The Boss has agreed! The Boss has really agreed!
Having the Boss let him stay by his side meant he was truly considering teaching him. Thinking of this, Huang Shi was overwhelmed with excitement. He approached the bar and downed several glasses of liquor to contain his joy. With the Boss’s guidance, he was sure to become a top racing driver, and his dreams would definitely come true...
...
"Have something to eat." Lin Feng approached Leng Mei and offered her the plate in his hand as she gazed out the window, lost in thought. He also felt it was odd, as this was the first time he ever saw Leng Mei so absent-minded.
"Thank you, but today I feel like having a drink." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Leng Mei snapped out of her daze. She had been deep in thought, pondering many, many things. She would have continued to be lost in thought had it not been for Lin Feng’s arrival. She hastily took the plate from Lin Feng’s hand and casually mentioned her desire for a drink. She had been completely preoccupied with Lin Feng just moments ago, and no matter how much she thought, Leng Mei couldn’t find a good way to resolve her relationship with him.
"Alright, I’ll get it," Lin Feng said. He noticed something off in Leng Mei’s demeanor, which puzzled him. She had seemed fine when he first arrived, so why had her mood changed? However, he didn’t see any harm in her wanting to drink a little, especially since nothing too bad could happen here.
With that thought, Lin Feng walked over to the bar, casually picked out a bottle of red wine, grabbed two glasses, and returned to where Leng Mei was.
Huang Shi watched as Lin Feng actually brought that platter of food to a beautiful woman, and his eyes widened. Could this beauty have something to do with the Boss? Otherwise, why would the Boss be giving her food and fetching red wine? But this didn’t seem right; those two beauties from the car last time were still here, and they didn’t react at all. Who in the world was this woman? Huang Shi pondered wildly as he arranged for two chairs and a small table to be brought over to Lin Feng and Leng Mei, making it convenient for them to talk and drink.
Just as Lin Feng was about to sit down and chat with Leng Mei, students from the French department, each holding a glass of red wine, came over and surrounded him.
"Teacher Lin, let me toast to you. Over the past six months, my French has improved significantly with your help. Thank you so much."
"Teacher Lin, no need for words, cheers!"
"Teacher Lin, I am extremely fortunate to have you as our French teacher."
"Teacher Lin, let’s drink to thank you for helping us all improve our French tremendously."
...
The students, one by one, crowded around Lin Feng, incessantly proposing toasts to him. Under Teacher Lin’s guidance over the last six months, everyone’s French had made leaps and bounds in progress, something unimaginable before. Part of it was Teacher Lin’s impeccably standard pronunciation, which everyone recorded to emulate and practice their spoken language skills. Moreover, Teacher Lin’s engaging teaching style, which was like storytelling, helped everyone remember the lesson contents.
Teacher Lin was truly an exceptionally good French teacher. Meeting him was a stroke of luck for them all. They hadn’t had the chance to properly express their gratitude to Teacher Lin over the past six months, and now that this opportunity had arisen, they naturally wanted to thank him earnestly and share their sentiments. With this thought, the atmosphere among the French department’s students grew even more enthusiastic, insisting that Teacher Lin drink the wine they offered...
Liu Jinming and other teachers, witnessing this scene, felt unbearable discomfort. They had not expected Lin Feng, so young, to be so popular with the students, while not a single person approached them for toasts. It was a real personal failure, especially for Liu Jinming. As the newly appointed head of the French department, being blatantly ignored like this hurt him deeply. All this was Lin Feng’s doing. "Lin Feng," he thought, "when we get back, I’ll find a way to deal with you." His eyes were filled with venomous spite, as if he wanted to rip Lin Feng to pieces!
Leng Mei, seeing Lin Feng surrounded by the crowd, felt happy for him. For a teacher to receive such an honor was a splendid thing, and for Lin Feng, as a young French teacher, to achieve this level demonstrated that he was truly a teacher who had won people’s hearts. Since that was the case, Leng Mei felt she shouldn’t stay there any longer. This was Lin Feng’s stage now.
With that thought, Leng Mei shook her head and left the place. She found a quieter corner and sat alone, gazing out at the nighttime view of Tianhai City, sipping her red wine one glass at a time, still preoccupied with her thoughts of Lin Feng.
Liu Jinming noticed Leng Mei drinking alone and immediately sensed a great opportunity. He grabbed a wine glass and moved closer to where Leng Mei was.
