My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 792: Delivering the Silk Banner to the Door
It was 8:30 in the evening. The lawyer sent the investigation materials to Lin Feng’s email and offered his advice. "The endorsement is feasible."
At nine o’clock, the other party called right on time. Lin Feng didn’t ask for a higher price and agreed to the endorsement.
Someone from the platform would contact Lin Feng to handle the subsequent work, and the contract documents would be sent via email. If there were no issues, they could sign the contract once the person in charge arrived.
After forwarding the contract to his lawyer, Lin Feng closed his laptop and started discussing the day’s events with Zhang Yuxi. Of course, he had already told Da Bao about the details and outcome of his conversation with Cai Xia’s parents.
"We’ll go back, find an auspicious date, and then we can start the preparations. We’ll hold it here, on our side."
"For the hotel, they can stay at our..."
Lin Feng had already begun planning when Zhang Yuxi yawned and interjected, "Cai Xia is coming back tomorrow. Da Bao will make time to have dinner with us before he heads home."
"Let’s think about all this after we get back. That’s enough for today, let’s go to sleep!"
Lin Feng couldn’t sleep. He mused, "Once Da Bao’s wedding is settled, we’ll arrange Si Bao’s, and then San Bao’s..."
Finally, it would be Xiao Bao’s turn. Once all the children had found their place in life, he would feel truly happy from the bottom of his heart.
The next afternoon, Cai Xia appeared with a smile. Clad in a camel-colored coat, she instantly gave off the impression of an intelligent beauty. Da Bao followed behind her. In contrast to the refined Cai Xia, he appeared somewhat rough around the edges. After this meal, he would have to change into his work clothes and get busy with his ongoing project. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
It felt like the handsome man he once was would be gone forever.
Xiao Bao asked worriedly, "Big Brother Da Bao, with all this work, aren’t you afraid you’ll go bald?"
Da Bao considered the question seriously. "I might. A lot of my colleagues have already started losing their hair."
Xiao Bao grew even more worried. "Then what will you do?"
"Maybe get a hair transplant. It’s not too expensive, just tens of thousands."
Da Bao laughed. "We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. I have plenty of hair; it won’t all fall out at once."
Knowing she would be meeting her future in-laws, Cai Xia had brought some gifts with her on her return from abroad. Their value wasn’t important; it was the thought that counted.
The couple didn’t open them right away, saying they would look at them after getting back home, and instead asked about how she was doing. Zhang Yuxi advised her to take good care of herself while abroad, to eat well, and to try not to stay up late. She also brought up their wedding, mentioning they would find a master to select an auspicious date once they returned.
Although they didn’t see Cai Xia often, she was a frequent sight on television. In front of the cameras and reporters, she was as sharp and invincible as a sword. In private, she sheathed her sharpness, becoming a mature, steady, and considerate young woman. She spoke softly and calmly, her words flowing, mirroring her own composed demeanor.
It must be said, she truly had the bearing of an excellent eldest daughter-in-law.
To outsiders, the way Da Bao and Cai Xia interacted seemed tinged with formal respect, unlike Er Bao and Si Bao, who wore their hearts on their sleeves. For instance, right now they were sitting together, eating and discussing business, work, and their upcoming plans.
After the meal, Lin Feng and his wife followed Er Bao to meet their in-laws from the Qin family. His mother-in-law looked well and was full of praise for Er Bao, going on and on about how filial he was.
Although Er Bao didn’t live with them, he never missed festivals, family birthdays, or other important occasions. If he was ever delayed by work, he would send a gift and make sure to come stay for a day or two every so often. For a man with their son’s type of job, finding such a considerate and understanding daughter-in-law was truly their good fortune.
Moreover, Er Bao’s fashionable appearance, combined with her frank personality, had earned her a polarized reputation in Jingcheng’s social circles. But the character of the Lin family’s children was beyond reproach, so they weren’t worried.
Besides, after the New Year, the Lin family would be related to both the Qin and Cai families through marriage. Who would dare gossip then?
After a short visit, they flew back, had dinner out, and then went home to sleep.
The next day was Monday. Those with jobs went to work, and those with school went to school.
Someone contacted Lin Feng to discuss the endorsement deal. At his home, a representative wearing glasses discussed the upcoming work arrangements with him. For instance, they discussed the shooting schedule but were still waiting for confirmation from the platform.
Just then, Lin Feng received a call from Handsome Uncle, asking him to come down to the precinct. Confused, Lin Feng asked why. He learned that the family of the pregnant woman he had helped into a taxi insisted on thanking him in person.
"They’ve also prepared a silk banner for you. You should come over."
Hearing this, the representative from the platform had a thought. Lin Feng had done something so positive—wasn’t this perfect promotional material?
When the platform representative and Lin Feng arrived at the precinct, the woman’s family had already been waiting for some time. Holding the banner, they immediately rushed over.
"Thank you for saving my daughter and granddaughter. Thank you so much."
"This is a banner of appreciation for you, and here’s US$ 5,000 as a reward. You must accept it."
The emotional parents’ eyes welled up with tears. Lin Feng accepted the banner but refused the money.
"I can’t accept this money. Please, take it back and buy some baby supplies, or get some nutritional supplements for your daughter."
Seeing Lin Feng’s firm refusal, they finally gave in and put the money away.
The officer, Handsome Uncle, picked up a camera. "Let’s take a picture. We should publicize good deeds like this."
Lin Feng took one photo with the woman’s parents, and then another with the platform representative and himself, holding the banner. Since he had signed a contract, he had to cooperate with the required publicity.
Originally, few people knew about this incident. But once the platform began promoting it, the story spread, and he received a ton of praise from netizens.
"No wonder he could raise so many outstanding children. The parents are outstanding people themselves!"
"If the platform hadn’t reported this, how many people would have ever known?"
"Well done! Good deeds like this should be promoted more..."
"This couple lives in our neighborhood! Their daughter almost had a miscarriage. I heard her husband was cheating on her, and she caught him with the other woman."
Gradually, the comments section shifted to discussing the truth behind the pregnant woman’s situation. In a single afternoon, netizens dug up the whole story, including the workplaces of the husband and the mistress. As they dug deeper, it turned out the two of them had done many disgusting things.
They tagged the man’s company and the mistress’s company in their posts.
Lin Feng didn’t know what happened next, because he was busy filming a commercial. He had watched Xiao Bao film commercials before, and it always looked simple—just strike a few poses, recite some lines, and it was over. But when it was his turn, he realized it was not only exhausting but also incredibly involved.
But since he had accepted the endorsement fee, he had to complete the work conscientiously. He listened to the director and did his best to finish the shoot quickly.
He departed at five in the morning for a two-hour flight to the filming location. The platform was very considerate, buying him soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, and tea eggs—they had even peeled the eggs for him.
A young woman, likely an assistant, was running around being ordered about by a crowd of people. An octopus wouldn’t have had enough arms to keep up.
Lin Feng said with a smile, "You go ahead with your work. I can handle things here on my own."
The young woman blinked but ultimately stayed put, because it wasn’t Lin Feng who paid her salary. If anything went wrong during the commercial shoot, low-level employees like her would be the first to suffer the consequences.
