Lin Feng and Tang Rou left the hotel. It was peak hour for taxis, so despite waiting at the hotel entrance for over ten minutes, they couldn't hail one.
Damn it, I need to figure out how to get a car. Going on dates with Tang Rou like this is just too inconvenient!
Lin Feng was now entirely self-reliant and hadn't asked his parents for money. Since the start of the semester, he had already spent about twenty thousand. The money remaining from his undercover mission for the Emperor Dragon Group was just over ten thousand. Therefore, given his current situation, he needed to find a way to earn money if he wanted to buy a car.
"Miss, were you dining here too?"
Just as the two were fretting over the passing taxis, all occupied, a voice came from behind. Almost instinctively, Tang Rou turned around, "Uncle Yun?"
Lin Feng certainly recognized Guo Yun and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Yun."
Far off, Zhou Caifeng, arm in arm with Zhou Jian, looked over. She saw Guo Yun speaking respectfully with Tang Rou and Lin Feng and was taken aback. Boss Tang's housekeeper knows Lin Feng and Tang Rou? What's their connection?
Muttering Tang Rou's name, Zhou Caifeng suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat. Could... could Tang Rou be this Boss Tang's daughter?!
Remembering how they had flaunted their wealth in front of Tang Rou, and then seeing the Rolls-Royce that had clearly been waiting for Tang Zhendong all this time, she felt utterly mortified.
They had been flaunting their BMW and Mercedes in front of Tang Rou, completely unaware that her family owned a Rolls-Royce worth tens of millions! This was a classic case of showing off one's meager skills before an expert!
Impossible... impossible. Tang Rou's dad can't be this Boss Tang. They don't even look alike, and Tang Rou has never mentioned having such a wealthy father in the dorm... Zhou Caifeng denied it to herself. The sudden reality was too much for her to accept, especially after the sense of superiority she had just been feeling in front of Tang Rou.
Zhou Jian hadn't noticed Lin Feng and the others nearby. He was still racking his brains, trying to figure out how to secure an order from Tang Zhendong. However, Tang Zhendong seemed uninterested and indifferent, making Zhou Jian feel extremely awkward. But it couldn't be helped. Despite his warm enthusiasm being met with a cold shoulder, he had no choice but to persist; after all, he was the one asking for a favor.
Guo Yun led Lin Feng and Tang Rou over. Upon seeing Tang Zhendong, Tang Rou immediately behaved obediently, went to his side, took his arm, and called out softly, "Dad."
Nearby, Zhou Caifeng and Zhou Jian gaped in astonishment!
Tang Rou really is Boss Tang's daughter!
What Zhou Caifeng had dreaded most had happened. Zhou Jian, on the other hand, stood rooted to the spot. After a moment, he looked at Tang Rou and asked Tang Zhendong in surprise, "Boss Tang, is this your esteemed daughter?"
With Tang Rou by his side, Zhou Caifeng and Zhou Jian both noticed that Tang Zhendong's previously cold expression had suddenly softened. It was clear how important Tang Rou was to him.
"Hmm. You know her?" Tang Zhendong kindly stroked Tang Rou's hair, as if in his eyes, she would always be his little girl.
"Yes, yes, we do..." Zhou Jian and Zhou Caifeng quickly replied. They certainly couldn't miss this opportunity to ingratiate themselves.
"Hehe, it's such a coincidence. Tang Rou and I both study at Jiangzhou University. We're even in the same dorm room and get along wonderfully, right, Tang Rou?" Zhou Caifeng said with a simper.
Tang Rou remained noncommittal. Seeing Zhou Caifeng and Zhou Jian's fawning expressions, she felt an indescribable disgust.
Noticing this, Tang Zhendong thought for a moment and said to Zhou Jian, "President Zhou..."
"No, no, no, Boss Tang, please just call me Little Zhou."
"Hehe, Little Zhou, regarding the collaboration, your company first needs to improve its product quality. Only then can we discuss cooperation. Let's talk about this later. You can contact Mr. Guo to schedule an appointment, and we'll discuss it then. Seeing as you're acquainted with Rou'er, I'll give you this one chance. I hope you make the most of it."
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhou Jian responded eagerly. "Thank you, Boss Tang, for the opportunity! Thank you, Miss... Miss Tang. We'll take our leave now. Sorry for the disturbance, sorry for the disturbance."
Like a deferential junior, Zhou Jian bowed, then happily led Zhou Caifeng away, all traces of their earlier arrogance gone.
Once Zhou Jian and Zhou Caifeng had left, Tang Zhendong's gaze fell on Lin Feng, who had been silent beside them. He looked at Lin Feng, hesitated for a long moment, and finally said, "Lin Feng, you should get in the car too. Since we've run into each other, let's go have some tea together."
Huh? Lin Feng knew exactly what Tang Zhendong's "having tea" implied. Is this an indirect way of meeting the parents? But it looks like this imposing father isn't too pleased with me!
Guo Yun brought the car around. Tang Zhendong had Tang Rou sit with him in the back, leaving Lin Feng to take the front passenger seat. Another Audi, carrying four bodyguards, followed them.
The Rolls-Royce stopped at an upscale club in the city. Tang Zhendong was clearly a VIP guest, as the club's manager personally came out to welcome them inside. Tang Zhendong said, "Please find us a quiet room. We'll be having tea tonight."
"Certainly, Boss Tang." The male manager complied and left.
The four of them settled into a private room named "Peach Blossom Spring." The room was decorated in a classical and refined style, resembling a study and exuding an elegant ambiance.
After a server brought in high-quality Longjing tea, Tang Zhendong first chatted with Tang Rou about everyday matters, mostly inquiring about her well-being. Meanwhile, to prevent Lin Feng from feeling awkward, Guo Yun engaged him in casual conversation.
After a while, Tang Zhendong gave Guo Yun a meaningful look, then said to Tang Rou, "Rou'er, your Uncle Yun mentioned he wanted to get you a gift for starting university. Since you're here, there's a large shopping mall right nearby. Why don't you let Uncle Yun take you to pick out some clothes?"
"Dad, I don't... Maybe later. It's so late now," Tang Rou declined, glancing at Lin Feng.
Guo Yun said, "The mall is just next door, not far at all. It'll take half an hour at most, round trip."
Tang Rou pouted slightly, looked at Tang Zhendong with a hint of coquetry, and then shifted her gaze to Lin Feng.
It was obvious that Tang Zhendong was sending her and Guo Yun away so he could speak with Lin Feng privately. This made Tang Rou very worried; after all, in Tang Zhendong's eyes, Lin Feng was just a student with little experience of the world.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll eat Lin Feng alive if you leave?" Tang Zhendong said with a chuckle, having seen through her thoughts.
"Dad! I'm not talking to you anymore..." Realizing her thoughts had been exposed, Tang Rou's pretty face flushed, and she pouted playfully.
Lin Feng considered for a moment. Since Tang Rou and I are officially together, I'll have to pass Tang Zhendong's inspection sooner or later. He then said to Tang Rou, "Why don't you two go pick something out? I'll stay here and chat with Uncle Tang for a bit."
