Of course, although Lin Feng was going to the restroom, he was heading toward the women's restroom.
As a man, and one who always prided himself on being a gentleman, Lin Feng would never engage in such rude behavior as barging into the women's restroom. Instead, he simply left a message at the entrance for Liu Jing that read: "I’m waiting for you at the door."
Lin Feng knew that Liu Jing would understand what he meant.
Sure enough, as if she had been waiting for Lin Feng to find her, Liu Jing emerged from the restroom in less than a minute.
"That was quick?" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise.
"That's not the point," Liu Jing replied, avoiding the topic.
"True. Well then, let me ask you, why did you suddenly come here?" Lin Feng nodded in agreement with Liu Jing's statement, acknowledging that his previous question wasn't really the main issue, and then asked.
"You want to know if I came here to give your friend Rong Jie a hard time, right?" Liu Jing said with a knowing look, turning Lin Feng's question back on him.
"Heh... well, that's something I wanted to ask too." Caught off guard by Liu Jing's insight, Lin Feng felt a bit embarrassed and admitted it with a smile.
"I came here to help you; are you satisfied with that answer?" Liu Jing rolled her eyes and said.
"Yes, I'm satisfied. Liu Jing, maybe you don't understand me well, but I have to say that my reason for helping Rong Jie so far is not what you think," Lin Feng explained, knowing that Liu Jing still held some resentment.
"I can discern that for myself," Liu Jing replied calmly, still wearing that knowing expression.
Of course, Lin Feng thought she was just putting on an act.
Alright, regardless of anything else, Liu Jing's attitude was clear. At least Lin Feng believed that there wouldn't be any major incidents, like a collision between Mars and Earth, for the time being. So, Lin Feng and Liu Jing went to the Private Room together.
Seeing Lin Feng and Liu Jing arrive together, Su Rong looked at them with some confusion. Then she stood up and began to introduce the dishes and their characteristics. In fact, the reason for arranging this meeting here was that Su Rong wanted to treat Lin Feng and Liu Jing to a nice meal as a gesture of gratitude. Moreover, the food here was indeed quite good, at least in Su Rong's opinion.
"Well, thank you for the arrangement and hospitality, Rong Jie," Liu Jing said politely to Su Rong. The atmosphere was harmonious, which relieved Lin Feng.
Next, Lin Feng completely transformed into a person focused on eating, while the two women sat together discussing some matters. Liu Jing had just mentioned that since Lin Feng couldn't agree to her request, she would talk to Su Rong, who could fulfill her request. All Lin Feng needed to do was provide the Prescription.
Lin Feng had objections to Liu Jing's statement, but Su Rong had no intention of helping Lin Feng at that moment. As a result, Lin Feng's protests were ineffective.
Since that was the case, Lin Feng happily indulged in eating alone.
Finally, after finishing the meal and putting down her chopsticks, she noticed that the two women had completed their discussion and were now exchanging thoughts on their experiences with cosmetics.
There was nothing Lin Feng could do; since she hadn't heard their earlier conversation, she couldn't interject. However, now they were speaking quite loudly, allowing Lin Feng to understand what they were saying. But considering that the most expensive cosmetic she had ever used in both her past and present lives was just a basic product, she really had no input. This was how Lin Feng felt—an outsider listening in on experts discussing matters.
"I say, you two ladies, now that you've eaten and finished your discussion, can we leave?" Lin Feng said helplessly. The Prescription was provided by her; Su Rong knew Liu Jing through her connections. Now it seemed that Su Rong didn't want her to participate in the meeting at all. Wasn't this akin to burning bridges after crossing them?
Wait a minute! Lin Feng remembered that she had only agreed to provide the Prescription and was willing to share it; she hadn't actually handed it over yet. Why did they act as if they were certain she would definitely give it to them?
Alright, Lin Feng admitted that these two women had mastered the art of burning bridges before crossing them. Even if they hadn't crossed yet, they probably could dismantle the bridge anyway.
"Oh well, Rong Jie, let's go," Liu Jing said as she lifted her head in response to Lin Feng's remark.
"Well, okay, let's talk again next time," Su Rong said when she heard that Liu Jing had no objections, and she herself had nothing more to say.
Thus, Lin Feng inexplicably had a meal with two beautiful women and then left just as inexplicably.
Although this meal happened because of these two women, it could almost be said that only Lin Feng was eating.
Objectively speaking, since both Lin Feng and Liu Jing were guests, after Liu Jing said, "I didn't drive here," Lin Feng could only take Liu Jing home.
In the car, Lin Feng focused solely on driving and did not mention what Liu Jing and Su Rong had talked about earlier.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to know what Su Rong and I talked about?" Liu Jing finally couldn't hold back and asked.
"Hehe... isn't it just some women's topics?" Lin Feng replied nonchalantly.
"Hehe... since you're not interested, then I won't say anything," Liu Jing seemed to have Lin Feng figured out, teasing him.
Unbeknownst to her, Lin Feng really didn't pursue the matter further, leaving Liu Jing feeling quite embarrassed.
"By the way, Liu Jing..." Although Lin Feng wasn't interested in what Liu Jing had discussed with Su Rong in the private room, he actually had something else to ask her. After all, in certain aspects, Liu Jing could provide suggestions that others couldn't.
"No, you've missed your chance. Don't expect me to tell you," Liu Jing was still sulking over Lin Feng's earlier lack of interest. What kind of person was he? He didn't give her face just now, and now he wanted to know? No way!
"Liu Jing, I think you misunderstood. I'm not asking about what you think I would be interested in regarding your conversation with Su Rong in the private room; rather, I have another matter to discuss with you and would like your advice," Lin Feng explained, knowing why Liu Jing was upset. It was simply because he hadn't played along when she was teasing him earlier.
"What other problem is there?" Liu Jing initially didn't want to pay attention to Lin Feng. However, since he mentioned it was a different issue and considering that he always came to her for advice on any problems he had, she finally asked.
"Haha... it's about School. You know me, for me now, it doesn't really matter whether I go to college or not. Life at School is too laid-back; the most I do is put on a show on the court and mess with some people. I want to leave School, but I don't want to drop out or quit. What flexible options do you think I have to avoid going to School while still getting my diploma?" Lin Feng asked what he wanted to know.
"Oh, is that so? I actually have a way, but why should I tell you?" Liu Jing laughed when she heard Lin Feng's question. Others might not know how these things work, but Liu Jing was already familiar with the process. In fact, she had been skipping her own classes to avoid going to college, even going to Lin Feng's class just to be close to him.
"What do you want?" There was no need for roundabout talk with someone smart. Lin Feng admitted that Liu Jing was quite clever, so he got straight to the point.
"Haha... it's simple. You tell me why you don't want to know what I and Su Rong talked about in the Private Room. Of course, your answer must be reasonable and not just a casual excuse," Liu Jing said, rolling her eyes as she stated her condition.
"Okay... deal." Surprised that Liu Jing would make such a request, Lin Feng agreed.
"Alright then, I'll tell you. Actually, college is all about credits; it's about earning credits. That's why college life is relatively free and casual, which you should know," Liu Jing seemed to trust Lin Feng, acknowledging the credibility of his words as she began explaining.
"Yeah, I understand that," Lin Feng nodded while driving.
Talking business in the car was something Lin Feng had gotten used to, so he didn't see it as a safety issue.
"You understand that, but when it comes to how to earn credits, you're a bit lost. You can earn credits through some special methods; it doesn't necessarily have to be through exams," Liu Jing continued without being surprised by Lin Feng's response.
"And then?" Hearing her words, Lin Feng pressed on, knowing that what she said next would be crucial.
"Well, what I need to tell you is that besides earning credits in the usual way, you can also apply to School to take exams through self-study. However, if you make such an application, you'll need one more requirement than others," Liu Jing explained further.
"That means during your self-study period, you have to explain what you've been doing. You must participate in job recruitment and find a decent job. Then your employer needs to provide a certificate proving your competence, and only then can you graduate smoothly," Liu Jing paused before continuing.
"Is it really that simple?" Lin Feng was puzzled by how straightforward it sounded.
"Of course, it's not that simple. It's just that I helped you submit your application, so all you need to do is self-study and find a decent job. As for the graduation certificate, once you pass the School exam, I don't think it will be difficult to obtain. If you perform well at your workplace, you might even receive a scholarship and an honor certificate," Liu Jing finally finished speaking. It turned out that this was the main point. You can indeed make the kind of application Liu Jing mentioned, but generally, ordinary people really can't apply for it; only capable individuals like Liu Jing can achieve that.
"Well, that's good. I have no issues with that," Lin Feng said, expressing that he felt no pressure regarding the so-called "two requirements" proposed by Liu Jing.
With a photographic memory, handling exams was a piece of cake for Lin Feng. As for finding a job, he didn't believe he couldn't find a satisfactory one.
In fact, while Lin Feng didn't want to stay at School, he also wanted to find a job to gain some work experience. He believed it would be a great experience.
Now that Liu Jing had shared her method with Lin Feng, it was time for Lin Feng to tell Liu Jing why he didn't want to know what she and Su Rong were discussing in the Private Room.
"The reason is simple: you won't tell me, but Su Rong will," Lin Feng thought to himself, unable to suppress a laugh. He looked quite cunning.
Poor Liu Jing, she really felt like she had been tricked. Suddenly, she felt like the fool who had been sold out and was now collecting money for someone else.
"Ah, Lin Feng, you're done for..." In the end, Miss Liu could no longer hold back; a roar came from inside Lin Feng's car, and of course, it came from Liu Jing's mouth.
"You crazy woman! You're the one who made me say it!" Lin Feng shouted loudly due to some physical discomfort.
"I don't care; it's your fault for tricking me."
