Chapter 1259: Meeting the Parents
Chen Yan called Ding Guoqing, briefly explained what happened, and then hung up.
At this moment, Tian Heng seemed to realize he’d hit a wall, so he cautiously asked, "This classmate, who, who is your grandfather?"
"Ding Guoqing, you should know him, right?" Chen Yan asked.
"Ah?"
Tian Heng’s face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out immediately!
He definitely knew the former principal, Ding Guoqing!
Even though the old man had retired, he was still the most respected figure in the school!
So upon hearing that Chen Yan’s grandfather was him, Tian Heng nearly lost his balance.
Now it was impossible to leave even if he wanted to. He could only stand there, his legs trembling slightly, feeling like he might be doomed.
Ling Feng originally didn’t intend to get involved, but since the guy named Tian actually called security to catch him, this matter needed to be properly addressed.
A few minutes later, a woman in a black suit hurried over, accompanied by several men with glasses.
This person was none other than Li Yun’s close friend, Xiao Ruolan.
She was also a student of Ding Guoqing, and the current principal!
Seeing her figure, Tian Heng knew he was completely done for!
Leading everyone forward, Xiao Ruolan glanced at the security guards, then at Tian Heng, ignoring them, and turned to Ling Feng and Chen Yan: "I’m sorry, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen at school."
"Principal Xiao, you’re too kind. This matter has nothing to do with you!" Ling Feng laughed.
"It’s our responsibility, poor management of staff, please forgive us!"
Xiao Ruolan said, then turned to Tian Heng: "You’re fired!"
"I..."
Tian Heng wanted to argue, but his lips moved, and he couldn’t say anything.
He knew that no explanation would be of any use, and his face turned ashen.
As for the security captain, he had the same expression now, knowing that this job couldn’t be kept!
"Take these people away!"
Xiao Ruolan said, then turned to Ling Feng: "Mr. Ling, why didn’t you notify us before coming to the school?"
"I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen, just wanted to come with Chen Yan to look around!" Ling Feng chuckled wryly.
"The old man knows you’ve arrived and asked me to take you to him." Xiao Ruolan said.
"Hmm, I’d love to have a chat with the old man too!"
Ling Feng nodded, took Chen Yan’s hand: "Shall we go?"
Seeing this, Xiao Ruolan was taken aback for a moment, then had a sudden realization!
But she didn’t say anything, turning to lead the two away.
Arriving at Ding Guoqing’s residence, as soon as they entered the study, the old man’s hearty laughter could be heard: "Ling Feng, you’ve been in the limelight quite a bit recently!"
"You’re too kind, old man!"
Ling Feng smiled, sat down, and asked: "How’s your health been lately?"
"Thanks to you, it’s been great!" Ding Guoqing laughed.
"I’ve got some specialty products from my side recently, top-quality rice wine and tea leaves. I’ll bring you some later!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ding Guoqing immediately said, "Forget the wine. I never drink. But tea, you can bring some. I have some expertise in that area!"
"Alright, the new tea will be ready soon. I’ll make sure to bring it to you first!" Ling Feng laughed.
Ding Guoqing nodded, looked at Xiao Ruolan and Chen Yan: "You two step out first, I have something to discuss with Ling Feng alone!"
"Okay."
The two women understood and immediately turned and left the study.
After the door closed, Ding Guoqing looked concerned: "Why are you fighting with the Li Family?"
"Old man, you know about this too?"
Ling Feng smiled and then briefly explained what had happened.
"Well, it seems the Li Family has indeed overstepped!"
Ding Guoqing nodded after listening, then said: "You, boy, are quite daring, leaving them no face at all!"
"Hehe, that’s just my personality. They were wrong first, and then dared to harm my people. Isn’t that asking for trouble?" Ling Feng laughed.
"You did the right thing!"
Ding Guoqing laughed and then said: "But you’re still finding your footing, and Ling Corporation has just started, so you need to be cautious. But there’s no need to worry, with Dragon Soul here, the Li Family can’t suppress you!"
"Hmm, I try not to use Dragon Soul’s power unless necessary. Things haven’t escalated to an irreparable point!" Ling Feng laughed.
The old and the young chatted about recent events. Ling Feng’s trip to Europe naturally couldn’t be mentioned, so he only introduced the matters of Shankou Village and Tang Family Village.
As time got close to noon, Chen Yan knocked on the door: "Ling Feng, it’s time to eat!"
"Oh, right away!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng quickly said to the old man: "Old man, I have a task at noon..."
"I know, go ahead, after lunch, you’ll have to change how you address me!" Ding Guoqing laughed.
Ling Feng understood what he meant and immediately felt a bit awkward.
Leaving the campus, he drove with Chen Yan to a restaurant in the provincial capital.
It was said to be a restaurant, but there wasn’t even a sign at the place, just a small red building in a residential area, three stories high, with several black cars parked at the entrance.
Once inside the building, it turned out to be a whole new world, with very exquisite decorations, and the staff dressed uniquely, all in suits.
"This is a private club. Due to my father’s work, it’s not suitable for him to appear in public, so he chose this place!" Chen Yan explained.
Ling Feng let out an ’oh’ and then asked: "I haven’t gotten to know yet. What does your father do?"
"He manages water resources." Chen Yan said casually.
Before Ling Feng could ask more, they had already arrived at the room’s door. Upon entering, they saw a man with white hair at his temples sitting there, sipping tea.
This man was probably around fifty years old, with a square face, an air of dignity, and a presence that commanded respect without needing to show anger.
Seeing his daughter and Ling Feng come in, Ding Qingfeng spoke calmly: "You’re here? Have a seat!"
Ling Feng sat down, smiled, and said: "Hello, Uncle."
"Hmm, hello to you too."
Ding Qingfeng nodded, instructed the waiter that the dishes could be served, and after the room was left with just the three of them, he looked at Ling Feng: "Have you seen the old man?"
"Yes, just came back from there."
Ling Feng nodded, knowing that he was quite familiar with him.
"Oh, to be appreciated by the elder, you must be someone trustworthy. My girl Yan was spoiled from a young age, you should bear with her!"
Ding Qingfeng went straight to the point, catching Ling Feng off guard.
So he could only smile and say: "Uncle, please don’t say that, Chen Yan isn’t spoiled at all!"
"That’s towards you!"
Ding Qingfeng laughed and saw his daughter pouting with dissatisfaction, then said: "Actually, she..."
Before finishing, Chen Yan hurriedly interrupted him: "Dad, can you not air my dirty laundry?"
