The woman seemed to notice Lin Feng's gaze at that moment. She realized that looking directly at Lin Feng like this could easily lead to misunderstandings. Instinctively, her face flushed, and she turned away, no longer facing Lin Feng.
Lin Feng found it strange. Given how boldly this woman had looked at him earlier, she shouldn't be the type to blush so easily. Why did she suddenly turn red?
He couldn't understand it, but he was pleased to see a pure side preserved in such a stunningly beautiful woman. After all, if a beauty became bold and somewhat casual due to too many experiences, Lin Feng wouldn't appreciate her.
What kind of experiences? Do I really need to say? You know what I mean.
Wu Yanran felt she had been quite rude today. Although the young man named Lin Feng was indeed someone her family had been searching for, it was inappropriate to stare at him like that without reason. This was the first time in her life that she had looked so directly at a man. For someone who was usually somewhat aloof, this was an unimaginable scene, which explained why she couldn't help but blush.
"This man looks just like him! I must report this to Grandpa when I get back. The Wu Family finally has a lead on the man we need to find regarding our ancestor's will." As Wu Yanran blushed, images of Grandpa sighing in the family shrine kept appearing in her mind. If Grandpa found out about this news, he would surely be very excited and happy.
Not to mention Lin Feng's curiosity about the sudden blush from this beauty, Qian Hong's efficiency was impressive. She quickly brought in a lawyer and some transfer documents; most of them just required Lin Feng's signature.
Lin Feng, however, didn't really understand this matter and was preparing to see if Dong Jie could comprehend it.
"Lin Feng, the documents I've dealt with are mostly small amounts, like rental contracts and such. But this contract is worth hundreds of millions; I can't understand it and wouldn't dare show it to you. How about we find a lawyer?" Although Dong Jie wanted to help Lin Feng, she ultimately felt unable to do so since she had never encountered contracts of this level before.
Lin Feng agreed with Dong Jie. After all, the amount involved was substantial—almost equivalent to all his assets. Even though he possessed the powerful magic ring, he truly didn't understand legal matters. Tesla, who knew everything under the sun, certainly wouldn't have knowledge of modern legal concepts either; after all, Tesla's knowledge was outdated.
This was also why Lin Feng still needed Liu Jing to teach him computer skills. It was a minor regret regarding the magic ring; however, it was a small one since Lin Feng had an extraordinary memory and could learn contemporary knowledge without much difficulty.
With that thought in mind, while deciding he needed to find time to study legal books in the future, he pondered who could assist him.
Since his rebirth, Lin Feng hadn't really met anyone knowledgeable about legal matters. In his previous life as a mercenary, he had known a few legal professionals, but they weren't Chinese and were unfamiliar with Chinese law. Moreover, now that Lin Feng had returned to Ten Years Ago, those individuals might still be pursuing their studies in university and couldn't help him now.
"Lin Feng, how about I find you a lawyer? The legal issues for my business here in A City are handled by someone I trust; I think he's capable." Just as Lin Feng was unsure whom to turn to for help, Chen Sheng quietly suggested.
Right! How could he forget about Chen Sheng! Among those present, the person he trusted most was undoubtedly Dong Jie. Following her would be Chen Sheng, who had introduced him to the Jade Industry.
So when he heard Chen Sheng speak up, Lin Feng immediately slapped his thigh and said, "That sounds great! Let's have Uncle Chen handle it. Just let me know what fees are involved; how could I forget such an experienced senior like Uncle Chen?"
Thinking that Lin Feng might refuse his offer, Chen Sheng wasn't offended by any means. The Qian Family, fearing Lin Feng's capabilities, would naturally make him cautious as well. However, he believed that he and Lin Feng could be considered friends; hence he continued addressing him as "Lin Feng" rather than switching to "Feng Shao" like others did.
Chen Sheng felt that his suggestion was best accepted by Lin Feng. It didn't matter if it wasn't accepted; others saw him and Lin Feng as having a good relationship. He also knew that starting today, his status in the Jade Industry would likely see a slight increase. After all, Lin Feng was quite impressive, and he was a friend of Lin Feng.
However, Chen Sheng did not expect Lin Feng to agree to his suggestion without a second thought. Wasn't that too trusting? Lin Feng even referred to him as "senior." Chen Sheng thought that while he might be old enough to be called "Uncle Chen" by Lin Feng, he certainly did not deserve the title of "senior." It was a joke; he considered himself far from being on the same level as someone who had taken over a Gambling Stone shop from a big player in the Gambling Stone World in just half a day. He believed he could never reach such heights in his lifetime, let alone be worthy of being called "senior."
At that moment, Chen Sheng quickly cupped his hands and said with a flushed face to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, how can I possibly deserve the title of senior? Since you trust Uncle Chen, I will definitely do my utmost to handle this matter."
"Well then... thank you in advance. Boss Qian is a big shot in the Gambling Stone World; he won't cheat someone like me. Just arrange for some people to hand over to him, alright, Boss Qian?" Lin Feng was naturally polite to Chen Sheng since he had once helped him. As for Qian Hong, Lin Feng subtly reminded him of his position.
Lin Feng's meaning was clear: if he could accept this shop from Chen Sheng today, he could also take over other properties. He believed that someone like Qian Hong wouldn't be foolish enough to act like his son.
"Of course! Regarding this matter, I, Qian, am completely convinced of my loss. Rest assured, Young Master Feng, I will hand over everything to Brother Chen right away. I will make sure this matter is handled well for you," Qian Hong expressed no complaints about losing the shop to Lin Feng. In reality, he dared not voice any grievances; he just hoped to get rid of this formidable figure named Lin Feng first. Such a person was not someone a small family like the Qian Family could provoke.
"That's good; then I'll trouble Uncle Chen," Lin Feng said again while cupping his hands towards Chen Sheng, maintaining the respect due to an elder.
The reason Lin Feng treated Chen Sheng this way in public was also significant; he was transferring some of his prestige in the Gambling Stone World to Chen Sheng. This would help elevate Chen Sheng's influence in that world as a way of repaying him for his earlier assistance. He believed that after their conversation today, Chen Sheng's status in the Gambling Stone World would rise significantly—almost comparable to that of the Qian Family.
Of course, aside from repaying him, Lin Feng had his own selfish motives for establishing Chen Sheng's prestige. After all, Lin Feng had only recently entered the Gambling Stone World and had only heard about its circumstances from Chen Sheng. Therefore, if he wanted to manage the Gambling Stone shop won from the Qian Family well, he needed someone knowledgeable—someone who might not need to be an expert but should at least have rich experience and loyalty.
At that moment, the only person Lin Feng knew and trusted in the Gambling Stone World who met these criteria was Chen Sheng.
In terms of loyalty, the higher-ups of the Wolf Gang and Li Zhong's associates were certainly more loyal than someone like Chen Sheng whom he had only known for a few days. However, they did not understand Gambling Stones at all; their knowledge was merely on par with ordinary people. Having them manage a Gambling Stone shop would be like letting a novice handle water patrol—Lin Feng couldn't say whether it would go bankrupt but doubted it would be profitable.
Thus, considering everything, Lin Feng felt it would be better to let Chen Sheng manage his new shop. After all, Lin Feng believed that Chen Sheng would not betray him and lacked the ability to do so.
These were Lin Feng's two reasons for supporting and establishing prestige for Chen Sheng in such situations.
Now that everything was settled, Lin Feng decided not to linger any longer. With Chen Sheng handling things here, staying around would only complicate matters further.
As for letting Chen Sheng become the manager of this Gambling Stone shop, Lin Feng had not planned to tell him just yet; he wanted to see how well Chen Sheng handled the handover contract first.
After all, promoting someone requires an assessment; even if it can't be thorough, there should at least be a preliminary evaluation.
This was Lin Feng's intention and what he referred to as his method of managing subordinates.
Alright, as soon as they decided to leave, Lin Feng greeted Chen Sheng and took Dong Jie's hand, preparing to head out.
"Wait... Lin Feng, are you going back to the hotel?" Chen Xinni instinctively asked as she saw Lin Feng pulling Dong Jie away.
"Yeah, what's up?" Lin Feng replied.
"I want to go back to the hotel too. Let's go together," Chen Xinni insisted again.
Lin Feng was still somewhat cautious about Chen Xinni's earlier behavior. Subconsciously, he didn't want to get too close to her; it would be better for both of them. After all, he considered himself friends with her family now, and it wouldn't be good if any conflicts arose because of Chen Xinni.
So, regarding Chen Xinni's request at that moment, Lin Feng was unsure whether to refuse or agree and didn't know what to do. He could only look to Dong Jie for guidance.
"Let's go, Xiao Ni. We'll head back together, regardless of Lin Feng," Dong Jie said, pretending to be angry at Chen Xinni when she noticed Lin Feng looking at her.
This was Dong Jie's cleverness; after years of navigating society, she was much more adept at dealing with people than Lin Feng.
Since Dong Jie said that, Lin Feng felt it would be inappropriate to say anything else and followed them into the taxi.
Seeing Lin Feng leave, Wu Yanran also decided not to linger any longer. As she walked away, she thought, "I need to report the situation here and about that guy named Lin Feng to Grandpa immediately."
