After a while, Lin Feng finished the drawing and said to Old Lin, "I believe this is how it looks. I wonder if you have anything to add, Old Lin?"
"Yes, this is the drawing! Heaven bless the Lin family! Lin Feng, we owe you a huge favor!" At this moment, even the composed Old Lin was somewhat excited as he spoke to Lin Feng.
"Hehe... there's no need to be polite, Old Lin." Lin Feng's actions were entirely motivated by Old Lin's earnest desire to save his wife. Perhaps it was also due to Lin Feng's admiration for Old Lin that he spoke sincerely without any pretense.
"Mei'er, prepare a feast! Tonight, I want to drink with my little brother Lin Feng until we can't anymore." After saying this, Old Lin looked at Lin Feng with increasing fondness. He knew that regardless of the circumstances, Lin Feng had indirectly saved his wife.
Thus, the usually reserved Old Lin was eager to host a private banquet for Lin Feng.
"Hehe... that's just right. I'm actually quite hungry, so I won't hold back." Upon hearing this, Lin Feng did not refuse. Firstly, he was genuinely hungry; secondly, he had already figured out Old Lin's temperament. If he truly indulged in drinking with him tonight, their relationship with the Lin family would surely improve.
"Haha... that's more like it! Why are you still standing there? Mei'er, hurry up and prepare the food and drinks!" Seeing that Lin Feng was being genuine, Old Lin became even happier. Noticing that Lin Mei had not moved yet, he urged her again.
"Oh, I'll go right away." Realizing that Grandpa was becoming impatient, Lin Mei did not delay any longer and left the study to prepare the food and drinks.
Lin Mei felt quite grateful to Lin Feng but knew that at Grandpa's age, although he was still relatively healthy, drinking too much out of excitement could be harmful to his health. This was why she hesitated at first.
However, being urged by Grandpa, she did not dare to say anything discouraging while he was in such high spirits. She could only think to herself that no matter what happened tonight, she would help keep Grandpa from drinking too much.
With Lin Mei gone, Old Lin chatted a bit more with Lin Feng. Both had a very good impression of each other, leading to increasingly enjoyable conversation. In the end, Old Lin promised not only to give Lin Feng a generous red envelope but also that he could come to him directly for any future matters. As long as it was within his capability, he would do his best to help Lin Feng.
Of course, regarding the conflict between Lin Feng and the Xu family tonight, Old Lin waved his hand dismissively and stated that he would handle it himself.
Chatting casually, Lin Mei came to inform that the banquet was ready.
"Haha... Lin Feng, then let's get started. No need for formalities; I like your straightforward nature." Seeing that the feast was prepared, Old Lin said to Lin Feng.
After a bit of conversation, their relationship had grown closer, and Old Lin's way of addressing Lin Feng changed from "Young Brother Lin Feng" to simply "Lin Feng."
"Well, I won't be polite. Please go ahead; I've been hungry for a while," Lin Feng casually replied. However, being a guest, he still maintained the necessary etiquette.
"Haha... you rascal." Seeing Lin Feng's response, Old Lin chuckled a few times and then said nothing more as he led the way out of the study.
Following that, Lin Feng also walked out of the study.
Upon reaching the living room, Lin Feng noticed that the only ones dining with him were Lin Mei and Lin Xing, while Old Lin had already taken his seat at the head of the table.
"Come on, Lin Feng. Though it was hastily prepared, the food is still edible. Let me toast you first; I appreciate it," Old Lin said as he raised his glass to Lin Feng upon taking his seat.
"Haha... Old Lin, you're too kind to me. I should be toasting you," Lin Feng replied with a smile and raised his glass, downing it in one go.
"Haha, good." Seeing Lin Feng drink it all at once stirred Old Lin's spirits even more, and he also downed his drink in one gulp.
"Grandpa..." Seeing Grandpa drink so heartily, although she knew he was happy, Lin Mei still tried to advise him.
"Oh, Mei'er, don't spoil the fun." Old Lin was in high spirits at that moment and understood what Lin Mei was trying to do; he waved his hand and spoke softly to her.
Lin Mei, upon hearing this, could only close her mouth reluctantly. She knew that her Grandpa was also quite stubborn.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mei picked up her glass and said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, I really appreciate your help today. I raise my glass to you; drink as you wish."
Saying this, Lin Mei downed the Moutai in one go.
"Mm, not bad." Seeing that Lin Mei was somewhat "understanding," Old Lin smiled and said.
After all, in the eyes of Old Lin and his generation, nothing was more sincere than drinking to express gratitude, especially since Old Lin came from a military background.
Such people have a great fondness for those who drink heartily and eat well.
Thus, Lin Mei's actions at this moment made him very happy.
In fact, Lin Mei's gesture was twofold: first, it was to thank Lin Feng. She knew that without him today, they wouldn't have been able to obtain the Millennium Ginseng and its map. Second, she hoped to drink more herself so that Grandpa would drink less; hence her boldness.
Sure enough, after downing the drink, she immediately choked a bit. However, although she didn't drink often, she wasn't inexperienced either, so it wasn't a big deal.
Seeing Lin Mei being so generous, Lin Feng felt embarrassed to only take a small sip. He had no choice but to down his drink as well before setting the glass down.
Since Lin Mei had expressed herself this way, Lin Xing felt he should show his appreciation too. He picked up his glass and raised it to Lin Feng.
Well then, if he didn't know they were genuinely toasting him, Lin Feng might have thought they were trying to get him drunk. But since Lin Xing had done so, Lin Feng accompanied him and downed another glass. Fortunately, with his current physical condition being quite good, he felt fine even after several drinks.
"Ha ha... everyone, why don't we start eating? It's not good to drink on an empty stomach, and I'm really hungry," Lin Feng said, understanding Lin Mei's hesitation. Since Lin Mei was feeling shy, he decided to speak up directly.
Sure enough, after Lin Feng's words, Old Lin finally remembered that although they were thanking their guests, having each of the three drink a glass could indeed lead to getting them drunk. He waved his hand and said, "Ha ha... I almost forgot! Come on, let's eat. This dish is great; it's my favorite."
As he spoke, Old Lin picked up a piece of his favorite dish and placed it on Lin Feng's plate.
"I can serve myself; you all eat too," Lin Feng quickly replied as he accepted the food from Old Lin with a smile.
After that, everyone began to enjoy their meal. They occasionally clinked glasses and took small sips, rather than downing their drinks in one go.
When it came to drinking, none of the people here could match Lin Feng's capacity. However, he was genuinely hungry and felt it unnecessary to let Old Lin drink too much, lest it upset Lin Mei.
Indeed, Lin Feng's thoughtfulness made a better impression on Lin Mei, who personally served him a bowl of soup and encouraged him to eat more.
As the meal progressed, Lin Feng had quite an appetite and enjoyed himself thoroughly.
Seeing how much Lin Feng was eating, Old Lin kept smiling. He liked this side of Lin Feng; if he had been timid or reserved, even though he wouldn't say anything out loud, he would have thought Lin Feng wasn't manly enough.
In Old Lin's view, a man should eat heartily and drink deeply.
After the meal, with their bellies full, Lin Feng continued chatting with Old Lin in the living room while Lin Mei prepared a fruit platter for everyone.
"Ha ha, Lin Feng, look! The Ginseng Map has appeared. If I want to find some people to look for Ginseng, I see you have quite a bit of knowledge about it. How about you take the trouble to run an errand?" Old Lin pondered for a moment before directly asking Lin Feng.
In fact, this task should naturally be entrusted to Lin Xing. However, while Lin Xing has the ability, he does not understand Ginseng. Since the task involves gathering Ginseng, it is essential to have someone knowledgeable about it. Moreover, this person must be someone trustworthy. After much consideration, Old Lin felt that it would be best to trouble Lin Feng.
Firstly, the Ginseng Map was drawn by Lin Feng, so having him as a guide would be beneficial. Additionally, he is knowledgeable about Ginseng, which would aid in achieving the current objective. Secondly, Lin Feng is also quite capable in terms of skills, so having his assistance would make things much easier.
As for whether to trust Lin Feng, Old Lin did not need to think twice. After all, this matter was initiated by Lin Feng for the Lin family; if he had any ulterior motives, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
Thus, after careful consideration, Old Lin concluded that Lin Feng was indeed the most suitable choice.
"Hehe... I'm afraid my abilities are too limited for such an important task," Lin Feng chuckled and humbly declined.
With the Ginseng Map in hand, the Lin family finding Ginseng should only be a matter of time. What he needed to do now was take this opportunity to get closer to Lin Mei and then begin investigating the Golden Dragon Group.
Although today Lin Feng respected Old Lin's unwavering spirit for his wife, if there were any issues with the Lin family or the Golden Dragon Group, he would still investigate.
In reality, it wasn't that Lin Feng was particularly noble; rather, he knew that in order to enhance his own strength, he needed to rely on Virtue Value. While running around at night could yield some Virtue Value, it was a small amount. Relying solely on that would take an eternity for him to achieve significant breakthroughs. Therefore, Lin Feng set his sights on those so-called large groups with black income. At this moment, He Ting approached Lin Feng again, prompting him to take action.
Thus, Lin Feng was unwilling to help the Lin family gather Ginseng; he felt he had already assisted them enough in this matter.
"Lin Feng, if there were any other candidates available, I wouldn't trouble you. After all, your help to our family has been immense. However, I must find someone trustworthy to accompany Mei'er and Lin Xing on this task. So I still need to ask for your help; could you please reconsider?" Old Lin continued to persuade him. After thinking it over again, he believed that Lin Feng was indeed the most appropriate choice and lowered his tone when speaking to him.
