After finishing his words, Lin Feng ignored Yuling's astonishment and left. According to Lin Feng's estimation, it would be difficult for Yuling to remember what he had just said about sending her something in such a state of shock.
Driving back to Chen Sheng's residence, Lin Feng washed up and went to bed.
The next day, as soon as Chen Sheng got up, he was rubbing his head. When Lin Feng saw Chen Sheng's appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Uncle Chen, is your head still hurting?"
"Haha... I'm getting old. Do you think I'm like you young folks?" Chen Sheng replied with a laugh. Although his head hurt, he knew it was because of last night's drinking. Plus, today he was going to attend the Jade Exhibition, which made him feel happy and relaxed.
Lin Feng didn't understand why people over forty liked to say things like "we're old" or "you young people." However, he didn't delve into it; not all peculiarities have answers, and not all questions will be answered. Some simply do not have answers, and others might attribute it to "it's just the way things are."
In Lin Feng's view, such explanations were no better than having none at all. If that's the case, then it's better not to explain.
"By the way, Lin Feng, how did you know I was staying here last night?" At that moment, Chen Sheng asked while still rubbing his head.
"Haha... I called Yuling, and she came over to help. I really owe it to her," Lin Feng replied, recalling his interaction with Yuling from last night, a smile forming on his lips.
"Oh, that girl is indeed a good one. Not only does she have solid professional knowledge, but she's also a nice person." Speaking of Yuling brought a hint of appreciation to Chen Sheng's face, indicating that he was quite satisfied with her.
"Yes, I think so too. By the way, I invited her to join us for Liu Lao's Jade Exhibition last night. You don't mind, do you?" Lin Feng asked Chen Sheng.
"Oh, do you think she's suitable?" Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Chen Sheng pondered for a moment without answering directly but instead asked in return.
"She’s quite suitable. Didn't you tell me yesterday that you wanted to nurture her? Taking her to see that exhibition is just an opportunity for her development," Lin Feng expressed his thoughts directly.
"Oh, lucky girl. Lin Feng, you're well-fed and don't know what hunger feels like. Do you know how honored it is for someone in our line of work to receive an invitation from Liu Lao? You could say that if you walk around Liu Lao's jade exhibition once and get familiar with the place, no one will dare treat you like a rookie afterward." Hearing Lin Feng's response caught Chen Sheng off guard; however, upon reflection, it made sense. Although Lin Feng had great abilities, he hadn't been in the Jade Industry long enough to realize Liu Lao's significance in it.
In Chen Sheng's eyes, Liu Lao was a figure of great significance.
At the same time, for Chen Sheng, who only now had the opportunity to attend the Jade Exhibition hosted by Liu Lao thanks to Lin Feng, this Yuling was truly fortunate enough to make him a bit envious.
After all, Chen Sheng had only managed to participate in Liu Lao's Jade Exhibition at over forty years of age.
"Ha ha... that's good. I thought you had some objections," Lin Feng said. He was well aware of Chen Sheng's meaning; he had heard more than once about Liu Lao's status in the Jade Industry. However, Lin Feng didn't feel much about it; he never really cared about such titles. He could only chuckle awkwardly.
"Ah, speaking of attending the exhibition, shouldn't we prepare a bit? I was so happy last night that I drank too much, and now my head still hurts," Chen Sheng said, rubbing his head as he suddenly remembered this and spoke to Lin Feng.
"It's just an exhibition, right? We just need to show up on time. As for your headache, I'll take care of it right now, so don't worry," Lin Feng replied as he walked behind Chen Sheng and began to work on his head.
Chen Sheng's headache was caused by a hangover, so Lin Feng found it easy to treat. He applied some Internal Energy to several acupoints on Chen Sheng's head, and the effect was immediate.
"You can massage too? Ha ha... then I'll trouble you with it, Lin Feng," Chen Sheng said in surprise. Although he didn't expect much from Lin Feng's massage skills, he knew that Lin Feng wouldn't harm him. Since it was Lin Feng's kind intention, he decided to cooperate and let him do his thing.
Hearing Chen Sheng's words, Lin Feng smiled but didn't explain further. Not only did he know how to massage, but he also had some skills in treating ailments. Moreover, whenever he treated someone, it was always with Tesla's assistance; with such an impressive Doctor like Tesla around, it would be hard for Lin Feng not to succeed.
After a few minutes of massaging, Lin Feng stopped and asked Chen Sheng, "Try it out, Uncle Chen. Does it still hurt?"
"Not really. In fact... it's really not painful at all anymore. I feel completely refreshed. Lin Feng, you really have a talent," Chen Sheng initially planned to downplay it by saying he wasn't in much pain anymore, but soon he realized something was different. Not only had the annoying headache disappeared, but he also felt much better overall—just as he said, he felt completely refreshed.
"See? I do have some skills; don't underestimate me," Lin Feng said with a hint of pride. In fact, ever since Tesla had been around and after treating people a few times, Lin Feng had grown fond of the feeling of being a Doctor—not for money or profit but simply because he enjoyed seeing others become happy and comfortable because of him; it gave him a sense of accomplishment.
In Tesla's words, this feeling of Lin Feng's was called the way of medicine.
A Doctor is essentially an angel who saves lives and heals the wounded.
"Ha ha... Yes, Lin Feng, I really don't know if there's anything you can't do." Chen Sheng felt very comfortable at the moment, and with gratitude towards Lin Feng, his spirits were naturally high.
"There are many things I can't do," Lin Feng could only respond humbly.
"Well, my headache is gone. I'm going to prepare some things for the exhibition. You can continue with your work; I'll come to pick you up when it's time." Feeling relaxed, Chen Sheng thought about getting to work.
"Ha ha... Anyway, I have nothing to do, so take me with you," Lin Feng said.
"Alright then. Let's grab some breakfast first, and by the way, we should invite Yuling as well. She can help out with some things too. How does that sound?" Chen Sheng quickly came up with a plan.
"Sure, I have no objections to that arrangement," Lin Feng replied regarding Chen Sheng's plan.
Afterward, Lin Feng and Chen Sheng had breakfast, drove to pick up Yuling, and then started shopping for clothes and grooming.
"Lin Feng, you should try this outfit; it's nice and suitable for tonight's occasion." While walking in a men's clothing store, Yuling held up a set of clothes against Lin Feng and said.
"Ha ha... This kind of outfit is too formal; it feels restrictive. I won't wear it," Lin Feng said. He wasn't fond of such formal attire; if it weren't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't wear it. Although Chen Sheng and Yuling took the exhibition seriously, Lin Feng didn't see it as an occasion that required formal clothing.
"You don't like it?" Yuling asked, noticing that Lin Feng didn't seem to be joking.
"Well, I prefer something more casual and relaxed," Lin Feng answered honestly, so Yuling wouldn't think he disliked her choices.
"Got it! I'll keep an eye out for you," Yuling said. Today’s first task for her and Chen Sheng was to help Lin Feng choose an outfit for tonight, so she naturally took note of his preferences.
"Uncle Chen, you should also pick out an outfit; just put it on the store account. Later we can check out some women's clothing stores too. Yuling should also choose something for tonight and put it on the store account," Lin Feng suggested as he saw both of them focused on helping him choose clothes while he had a nonchalant attitude towards buying new outfits.
As for buying clothes for the two of them, Lin Feng was sincere about it. Although he knew that each outfit for tonight would likely be expensive, he truly wasn't short on a few thousand dollars.
"Well, I'll choose a set too." Knowing Lin Feng's background, Chen Sheng was not being polite. In his view, the relationship between him and Lin Feng had become quite casual and genuine. Lin Feng truly cared for him, and he sincerely wanted to help Lin Feng manage the jade business, so he naturally wouldn't mind one or two sets of clothes.
To be honest, one or two sets of clothes were not something Lin Feng cared about, and even Chen Sheng didn't mind much either. After all, although Chen Sheng worked for Lin Feng, he was also a millionaire in his own right.
As for Yuling, she felt a bit overwhelmed by Lin Feng suddenly buying her a complete outfit for the event. While Chen Sheng could overlook a set of clothes, she knew that this outfit might very well represent several months of her salary, so she couldn't remain calm about it.
"Hehe... Xiaoyu, don't overthink it. This outfit is also necessary for work. In our jade business, appearance is important, and we will inevitably have to attend formal occasions like this in the future. Just consider it as a work uniform from our store. I'm in the same boat; who told our boss to be so generous?" Chen Sheng, having lived for half a lifetime, naturally noticed Yuling's thoughts and reassured her.
"Okay, I understand." Yuling wasn't a naive girl; she understood Chen Sheng's intention was to relieve her of any burdensome thoughts. She nodded in acknowledgment.
"Alright then, I'm getting old and out of touch with the times. Xiaoyu, help me pick an outfit too. Since our boss is footing the bill, we shouldn't be too picky." Seeing that Yuling had let go of her worries, Chen Sheng said to her.
"Sure! I'll pick a set for both of you big masters. Uncle Chen, our boss doesn't want to wear formal attire to the exhibition; do you prefer formal wear or something else?" Yuling knew that Chen Sheng's suggestion was also meant to lighten the mood and help her relax, so she cooperated by asking.
"Well, I'm getting old; I might as well wear formal attire. Just choose whatever you think looks good; I trust your judgment," Chen Sheng replied upon hearing Yuling's question.
"Alright then! Uncle Chen is still in his prime; I'll pick a set that you'll be satisfied with." Yuling was quite skilled at choosing clothes, and with the relaxed atmosphere at that moment, she spoke more casually.
Lin Feng watched as Chen Sheng thoughtfully reassured Yuling. He realized that his earlier actions might have embarrassed Yuling as a girl. Seeing her free from any burdens now made him happy to watch the interaction between the older and younger individuals; it was a warm scene.
"Oh... isn't this our icy campus beauty Yuling? What's going on? Choosing clothes for this old buddy?" Just when Lin Feng thought everything was harmonious, a discordant female voice came from behind them.
