Chapter 1260: Concert
Chapter 1260: Concert
Faced with his daughter’s coquettish complaint, Ding Qingfeng just smiled: "Alright, alright, I won’t say anything more!"
After speaking, he exchanged a smile with Ling Feng.
Seeing how easygoing Ding Qingfeng was, Ling Feng felt his previous nervousness fade away, so he asked with a smile, "Uncle, Chen Yan said you’re in charge of water management. What exactly do you do?"
"Well, mainly it’s about managing the rivers and lakes across the province. It’s actually quite complex when you get into the details!" Ding Qingfeng said.
"Oh, there’s a huge lake that suddenly appeared near my village. Surely that’s under your jurisdiction, right?"
Ling Feng had already deduced that since Ding Qingfeng managed things on a provincial level, he must hold a significant official rank!
Sure enough, Ding Qingfeng nodded: "That’s indeed under our management. I’ll be heading over there for an on-site inspection in a few days."
"Is that so? That’s great. When you come to visit, I’ll definitely treat you well!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"No need for any special treatment, I’d rather see the local customs and traditions of your Shiliu Village. Your village is quite famous now!" Ding Qingfeng replied.
"Oh? I’m not aware of that. Yu Mei manages everything in the village." Ling Feng laughed.
Ding Qingfeng gave him a glance: "I know you’re busy!"
As the two chatted, Chen Yan sat nearby, barely able to join the conversation, so she couldn’t help but ask: "Hey, are you two just ignoring me?"
"Of course not!"
Ding Qingfeng glanced at her: "I’m having a good chat with Ling Feng. Shouldn’t you be happy about that?"
"Uh..."
Chen Yan turned slightly red and was at a loss for words.
The waiter quickly brought out the dishes, and as Ding Qingfeng and Ling Feng continued eating and chatting, she could only indulge herself by eating whatever she wanted.
After the meal, as they were parting ways, Ding Qingfeng patted Ling Feng on the shoulder: "We’ve met today, so please keep an eye on Yan’er for me in the future!"
"Don’t worry, Uncle, I’ll surely take good care of her!" Ling Feng nodded promptly.
"I’ve got things to attend to, so I’ll be heading off!"
Ding Qingfeng said and directly walked out the door and went downstairs.
Ling Feng then noticed a few staff members accompanying him, getting into the car.
After watching the car drive away, Ling Feng turned to Chen Yan: "Would you say the task you gave me is done?"
"Mm!"
Chen Yan nodded, then asked: "Are you in a hurry to go back?"
"Not really, but what else is there if we stay?" Ling Feng asked.
"Not much, it’s just that once I go back, I won’t have many opportunities to be with you. Maybe we could stay in the provincial city for another day?" Chen Yan suggested.
"Uh, sure!"
Ling Feng nodded: "As long as there’s nothing urgent, staying a day longer is fine!"
"That’s great!"
Chen Yan said, then directly grabbed his hand: "Accompany me shopping this afternoon!"
"Alright."
Then, for the rest of the time, Ling Feng became the tag-along and bag-holder as he accompanied Chen Yan shopping across the major malls in the provincial city.
She was, indeed, a young lady, and Chen Yan’s spending power was quite extraordinary. She spent hundreds of thousands in just one afternoon!
But the money was Chen Yan’s, not Ling Feng’s!
Because she joined the security bureau, Ding Guoqing was so pleased that he transferred a million to her account as a reward for his granddaughter’s accomplishment.
After the shopping spree, as evening fell, since Chen Yan didn’t have a Space Bracelet, Ling Feng packed all the clothes and shoes into his bracelet before asking: "What are we doing now?"
"Should we go watch a movie?"
Apparently, Chen Yan hadn’t had enough fun, so she suggested.
"Sure, I’ll accompany you in whatever you want to do!" Ling Feng nodded.
"You’re so nice, Uncle!"
Chen Yan smiled, pulled out her phone, and started searching for performance listings.
After looking at the results, she suddenly lifted her head: "How about we go see a concert instead?"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then asked: "Why the sudden change of plan?"
"I discovered there’s a performance tonight by the singer I like!" Chen Yan said.
"Who is it?"
Ling Feng leaned over for a look and saw a giant poster on the screen, featuring a person dressed in black, whom it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. The hairstyle was very avant-garde, with a cold gaze, looking very cool!
"That’s my idol, Bingbing!" Chen Yan said.
"Male or female?" Ling Feng asked in confusion.
"Hey, you can’t talk about my idol like that! He’s definitely male; it’s just that he’s going for an androgynous style!" Chen Yan protested.
"Androgynous style? I thought it was a stroke!"
Ling Feng chuckled, puzzled by her obsession with celebrities.
"You’re such a fossil, Uncle! You don’t understand young people’s pursuits!" Chen Yan claimed indignantly.
"Alright then, see if you can get tickets."
Ling Feng didn’t want to say more, so he asked.
After searching for ticket sources, Chen Yan sighed: "Bingbing is just too popular; tickets were sold out in three minutes after going on sale!"
"Well, there’s nothing we can do then. Even if I want to accompany you, there aren’t any tickets!" Chen Han shrugged, feeling relieved in his heart.
He really didn’t want to watch any concert; who knows what kind of singing that person does?
But unexpectedly, Chen Yan seemed unwilling to give up, clinging to his arm: "Why don’t we still go there for a look? Maybe we’ll run into a returned ticket or buy one from a scalper at least!"
"Huh? Does this person really have such a big draw?" Ling Feng asked helplessly.
"You’ll understand once you hear it, let’s go!"
Without giving him the time to refuse, Chen Yan dragged Ling Feng out the door.
Since the concert was being held at the Arena, they drove over there only to find that it was already packed with people!
Everywhere were young people, some holding light boards, others with posters, they were clearly all fans of this Bingbing.
Only then did Ling Feng realize just how famous that person was, but pity he had never heard of him, nor knew why he was so popular.
A large crowd was queuing up for ticket checks to enter, but there was no sign of anyone selling tickets.
Seeing this, Chen Yan looked disappointedly at Ling Feng: "Looks like we can’t get in."
"It’s alright, if you want to watch, you can always watch the recording later!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"That’s not the same!"
Chen Yan shook her head: "Watching live is a whole different experience!"
"Uh....."
Ling Feng thought to himself that he really couldn’t help with this, as without tickets there was no way to get in!
Just then, a man in a hoodie walked over sneakily: "Want tickets?"
"Eh?"
Ling Feng was shocked to find a scalper actually reselling tickets!
So he quickly asked: "Yes, how much for one?"
"Five thousand, front-row seats!" the man replied.
Ling Feng let out an "oh," took out his phone to buy the tickets, but Chen Yan immediately stopped him: "No way, it’s too expensive!"
"Exensive?" Ling Feng asked.
"Front-row tickets are only supposed to be 1288, this guy is asking for five thousand, it’s daylight robbery!" Chen Yan said.
Ling Feng paused, looked at the man: "Your price is just too outrageous!"
"Buy it or not, real Bingbing fanatics don’t mind spending this little money!"
The man mumbled, turned around, and left!
