Chapter 50: Chapter 050 It’s outrageous
Lin Feng mostly stood quietly at the side, offering little more than his na for introduction—he hardly spoke otherwise, ceding the entire stage to Ding Wan’er...
From everyone’s attitude towards Ding Wan’er, Lin Feng could clearly sense their fondness for her. So of the older attendees even took the opportunity to introduce their sons or grandsons to her right in front of him...
This was partly because of Ding Wan’er’s identity and family background, but it also showed that she had gained these people’s recognition. They were treating her like a real university president.
While Ding Wan’er was occupied with socializing, Li Wenkai was talking about Lin Feng with a few young elites at a distance.
"Have you guys thought of any ways to get back at him for ?" Li Wenkai, seeing Lin Feng with Ding Wan’er, could hardly contain his anger. The damn kid, a down-and-out fellow, also dares to compete with ? He’s really courting death.
"Wow, isn’t that Lin Feng? He used to be a profligate young master in our circle, didn’t he disappear? How did he co back?" Hua Gang was the first to speak up because he saw Lin Feng—the one who had disappeared five years ago. It was no wonder he was surprised, especially seeing Lin Feng at an event like this, which felt even more unbelievable.
"Hua Gang, you know that guy nad Lin Feng?" Hearing what Hua Gang said, Li Wenkai looked at him with so surprise. Li Wenkai had only found out through investigation, not expecting Hua Gang to recognize him at a glance without a word from him.
"Well, back in the day, we were in the sa circle. Lin Feng was really in his pri back then, capable of affording any kind of play. When we were free, we’d go rowing and bet on races..." Hua Gang slowly recounted Lin Feng’s past.
"But I heard that starting from his disappearance, his family sold their conglorate, and his father stopped working. I don’t know when Lin Feng ca back."
"So, is he a washed-up young master now?" another person nad Sun Qiang chid in.
"That’s pretty much the sa as what I know, correct. Lin Feng nowadays is indeed a faded young master. Now, think about how we can make Lin Feng look bad; this bastard actually dares to compete with
for Ding Wan’er," Li Wenkai was even more anxious about embarrassing Lin Feng publicly and he cut off their chat.
"Wenkai, leave it to us. We guarantee to make Lin Feng lose face in front of everyone," Hua Gang threw down these words. In his view, knocking down a fallen young master seed like an extrely easy task.
"Good. I love hearing that," Li Wenkai imdiately smiled and raised his glass upon hearing Hua Gang’s words.
"Let’s all go together, soone’s going to make a fool of himself soon, haha..." Hua Gang told the three silent young masters around him, thinking that the more the rrier for this kind of situation.
A group of them, all smiles, made their way over to Lin Feng, and before they even got close, Hua Gang started to greet him.
"Yo yo yo, isn’t this Lin Feng, the young master himself? Disappeared for over five years, and what a coincidence to run into you here," said Hua Gang with a chuckle, approaching Lin Feng as though he had just spotted him.
"Hua Gang, it has indeed been a long ti," Lin Feng said, recognizing the newcor as soone he used to go rowing with.
"Young Master Hua, so this is the Young Master Lin you told us about, the one who could match your family in any ga? It’s a pleasure to et you, I’m Zhang Yang. By the way, Young Master Hua, I heard your family’s conglorate has listed another subsidiary. So, how’s Young Master Lin’s family business doing nowadays?" asked Zhang Yang. Drawing a comparison to Hua Gang’s situation, he aid to make Lin Feng lose face.
Ding Wan’er already knew so of Lin Feng’s situation by now. Of course, she never believed what Lin Feng said about himself. In fact, it was hard for anyone to believe it.
But listening to them mock Lin Feng’s current downfall was very uncomfortable for her. Since she was in conversation with soone else, she couldn’t interject and could only tune in with half an ear, distractedly responding to the person talking to her.
"The family business was sold off back then, but now my mother is considering a coback. I believe going public shouldn’t be too far off," Lin Feng didn’t hide his circumstances and spoke the truth. He had great confidence in his mother.
Going public, soon, you think it’s your family’s vegetable market?
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s remark, many showed contemptuous expressions, thinking to themselves how full of hot air he was.
"By the way, Lin Feng, where have you been these past few years? We couldn’t find you anywhere," Hua Gang thought with a sneer, thinking that Lin Feng had been alright back in the day, but now that he had fallen so low, he was still putting on a front. He was curious to see how Lin Feng would embarrass himself this ti.
"Nothing much, just got blown by a strange wind onto an island and lived there for five years."
"Robinson Crusoe, huh!"
"Haha, watching movies for too long is bad for you, turns your hair white. But how co you’re not more hirsute?"
"What did you do on the island, for five whole years? You didn’t die from boredom, did you?"
...
"Nothing much, just keeping busy on the island. Whenever I’m bored, I dabble in Peerless Divine Skill, survival skills, killing techniques, the Hundred Schools of Thought, Astronomy and Geography, Divination and Astrology, arts like music and chess, painting and calligraphy, multiple languages, and a bunch of other ssy stuff. Not to ntion the Art of the Bedchamber—I an the kind that goes for nine rounds in a single night..." Hmph, Lin Feng could clearly see the intent of these people, but he just couldn’t be bothered to call them out on it and spoke casually.
When Lin Feng said this, many around him couldn’t control themselves and almost choked on their drinks. This young man was too funny. How could such outrageous things exist in the world? Being blown onto a deserted island was acceptable, but to claim that he lived there for five years and learned all sorts of crap? That would make him less of a human and more of an immortal.
As for that ’Art of the Bedchamber’, nine tis in one night, who do you think you are? Super Stud or Super Stallion?
Especially Hua Gang and his group who ca to pick a fight, they naturally couldn’t hold back and burst into loud laughter, almost convulsing. Who wouldn’t laugh at such stories?
"Young Master Lin, that joke of yours was too funny. I laughed so hard my stomach cramped up."
"Man, that’s so tall tale, absolutely hilarious."
"Who could believe that? As for the Art of the Bedchamber, nine tis in one night—I an, how much Viagra could you possibly have taken..."
"To co up with such a joke, impressive."
"Man, you can really blow hot air, and killing techniques too? Did you ever kill soone?"
"I think five years on the island must’ve been too much for you; you’ve gone crazy. Why are you wandering around with an illness? Go back and get treated."
......
These people were no good; after hearing Lin Feng’s words, they were utterly unreserved with their unpleasant remarks. Ding Wan’er on the side almost couldn’t help but speak up several tis, but upon glancing at Lin Feng, she saw that he wasn’t affected at all.
What’s this?
At that mont, hearing what his companions were saying, and Lin Feng’s words, Li Wenkai couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Ha ha...pfft..." He quickly wiped away his laughter, but he was already overjoyed. This Lin Feng was truly ****** crazy, he had wanted to find a reason to embarrass him and put him in his place, but Lin Feng ended up making a fool of himself by saying such things. That was damn entertaining.
Ding Wan’er suddenly fell silent because a question abruptly crossed her mind: why did Lin Feng always say the sa thing whenever asked about those missing years?
And as soon as the Art of the Bedchamber was ntioned, her face flushed with red, and she muttered irritably in her heart. Although so things weren’t a big deal in today’s society, it was another matter to speak about them openly...
"Young Master Lin, could you please not tell jokes like that in the future? My stomach can’t take it," Hua Gang finally stopped laughing and was able to control his emotions as he spoke.
"By the way, Young Master Lin, you can co to
if you have any issues in the future. Though my family doesn’t have much clout, a subsidiary that we just went public with happens to be in Tianhai City, and I can arrange a job for you." Hua Gang purposefully used his family’s company to provoke Lin Feng, belittling Lin Feng’s current worthlessness. Yet, he hoped even more that Lin Feng would agree so he could act like a boss and trample on Lin Feng every day for fun.
"I already have a job right now, as a teacher at Tianhai Yinbo University, and I’m not interested in working sowhere else." Right then, Lin Feng felt like an adult looking at a three-year-old child boasting with a lollipop, saying, "See, I have candy, you don’t."
He couldn’t even muster the will to get angry with them because it was just not necessary; they were too childish.
"Huh? You’re now a teacher at Yingbo University? For real? A college professor..." Lin Feng’s statent left Hua Gang quite astonished. Yingbo University was one of the best universities in Tianhai City, and their requirents for teachers were extrely stringent. How could Lin Feng possibly be a teacher at Yingbo University?
Moreover, Li Wenkai had just ntioned that he was working as a logistic handyman, right?
After all, being a university professor wasn’t just about the money, it was a symbol of status and identity, especially for soone his age.
Hearing this, Li Wenkai was also confused. How could Lin Feng be a college professor? His investigations showed that Lin Feng was just a logistics handyman.
But then, his brow suddenly raised, oh, this guy must be bluffing, surely afraid of losing face in front of his forr friends, that must be why he’s saying such things, huh.
"Yes, he is our school’s French teacher," Ding Wan’er couldn’t stand the hostility emanating from these people and had to vouch for Lin Feng, although she was still trying to figure out if he was lying again, considering Lin Feng was only substituting at the mont.
However, substituting or not, this bunch was worth nothing.
