The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 205: From Now On, You Are My Brother
That was a bit impolite.
Ling Feng glanced at him and, seeing the man was chubby and wearing glasses, asked with a smile, "I didn’t catch your name when you were introduced just now. What is your esteemed surname?"
The chubby man bragged, "I am the vice general manager of Changda Group, Wei Jing!"
"MSG? The kind they put in the dishes?" Ling Feng asked.
His words elicited stifled laughter from many at the table, even Miao Ruoruo couldn’t help but grin.
Seeing this, Wei Jing immediately became displeased and pointed at Ling Feng angrily, "You ignorant little peasant, you don’t even know what Changda Group is and yet you dare to talk to me like this?"
"What goes around comes around, you try to curry favor with Mr. Du but want to use me as a stepping stone. You put your face out there; of course, I should give it a couple of slaps!" Ling Feng sneered.
Seeing that the two were on the verge of a confrontation, He Ling, who had organized the dinner, hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Come on now, everyone is friends here. Let’s not fight!"
"He Ling, I don’t like this guy, get rid of him immediately!" Wei Jing said after glancing at her.
"This..."
He Ling was flustered upon hearing this. Wei Jing wasn’t much, but the boss of Changda Group was someone she couldn’t afford to provoke, and it was only because of his influence in Wanshou County that the chubby man could be so arrogant.
Miao Ruoruo had never witnessed such a scene and immediately felt a bit tense as she looked at Ling Feng.
"Don’t be afraid, they’re just a bunch of clowns!"
Ling Feng saw this and quickly reached under the table to hold her hand.
The electric sensation came again, and Miao Ruoruo’s anxiety settled in an instant.
At that moment, the door to the private room suddenly opened, and a tall middle-aged man walked in.
Most people at the table were startled upon seeing him; Wei Jing’s eyes widened, "Boss Li, what brings you here?"
The newcomer was none other than the president of Changda Group, Li Jianshe.
In his forties, self-made, he had been the richest man in Wanshou County for over ten years and had never been surpassed by anyone.
Seeing Wei Jing, Li Jianshe was also a bit surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"I’m here to meet friends. You’re here to see Mr. Du, aren’t you?" Wei Jing asked.
Du Tao stood up, "I’m so surprised, Mr. Li, why have you come to see me personally? I thought we agreed to meet this afternoon?"
Li Jianshe shook his head, "I’m not here for you, I’m here to find my savior."
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned. This influential person had a savior? Who could it be?
While everyone was puzzled, Li Jianshe pulled in a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old and then asked, "Which one is he?"
The girl was Li Fei’er, who Ling Feng had rescued the night before. After scanning the room, she timidly pointed at Ling Feng, "It’s him..."
Li Jianshe no longer paid attention to the others and went straight to Ling Feng, extending his hand, "Thank you for saving my daughter last night. What’s your surname?"
Ling Feng was a bit stunned and instinctively reached out his hand, "I’m Ling Feng."
"Good! Saving Fei’er is like saving my life. From now on, you are my brother!" Li Jianshe said, somewhat excitedly.
At these words, Wei Jing was dumbfounded, and Du Tao was flabbergasted.
What was going on? A little peasant was Li Jianshe’s savior?
Ling Feng was also a bit bewildered now, having not expected last night’s incident to be uncovered, and that he would be found by them!
Looking puzzled at Li Fei’er, "How did you know it was me?"
Li Fei’er was a bit nervous, "I... I remembered your voice. Just now, outside, I heard you on the phone..."
Ling Feng was suddenly speechless. How incredibly coincidental!
At that moment, his mind was spinning rapidly, considering how to handle this situation, when Li Jianshe suddenly said, "I know all about last night’s incident; brother, don’t overthink it!"
With that, he even gave Ling Feng’s hand a squeeze!
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and then it seemed like he understood something, so he smiled and said, "All right, President Li, don’t be too formal, it’s what I should do!"
Li Jianshe nodded, "I won’t say much about being grateful, but I have an important issue to discuss this afternoon, and tonight, I’ll host a banquet to properly treat you, brother!"
"Is that really necessary?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, it’s a must. If you don’t accept, you’re not giving me, your big brother, face!" Li Jianshe’s face became stern!
In front of so many people, Ling Feng found it hard to refuse again and had to nod in agreement.
The two exchanged contact information, and Li Jianshe left the private room with his daughter.
As soon as the father and daughter left, the atmosphere in the private room became somewhat delicate.
Wei Jing’s gaze was shifty. Watching the smalltime farmer, who he had looked down upon a moment ago, suddenly become his boss’s brother, he felt like his future might be doomed!
After much thought, he stood up, "Sorry, everyone, I didn’t expect President Li would also be dining here. I have some work-related matters to discuss with him, so I’ll take my leave first!"
After saying this he dared not look at Ling Feng and hurriedly turned to leave.
Everyone present knew what was going on and watched him go with sympathetic eyes.
Du Tao’s face also looked somewhat embarrassed, but since he was only there to discuss business with Li Jianshe, and everyone was of equal status, he didn’t feel as frightened as Wei Jing did, so he smiled and said to Ling Feng, "You’re something else, having saved President Li’s daughter. Now you’re really going places!"
Ling Feng gave him a look, "You’re thinking too much; I don’t need to rely on others."
"Come on, how could you miss such a good opportunity? Unless you’re a fool!" Du Tao laughed.
Ling Feng was speechless and found the meal even more boring, so he stood up and said, "Sorry, Sister Ling, I have other business to attend to and must leave first!"
As soon as Miao Ruoruo heard this, she immediately stood up too, "I’ll go with you!"
Du Tao’s face instantly chilled!
Sister Ling wanted to persuade the two to stay, but with their resolute attitudes, she had no choice but to watch them leave.
The atmosphere in the private room became even more awkward.
He Ling’s eyes rolled, and she sat down and smiled, "Let them go. Du Shao, don’t be in a hurry. There will be time in the future, and once your business deal is sealed, there will be plenty of opportunities to get close to Ruoruo!"
"What’s the deal with this Ling guy?" Du Tao ignored her and wondered inwardly.
Ling Feng and Miao Ruoruo had already left the building, neither of them speaking a word until they got to the car.
After closing the car door, Miao Ruoruo finally asked, "Was last night’s incident your doing?"
"What incident?" asked Ling Feng with a faint smile, feigning ignorance.
"Don’t hide it from me, I can guess!" Miao Ruoruo bit her lip.
Seeing that she already guessed it, Ling Feng didn’t want to keep it secret anymore and said, "Since you’ve guessed it, then go find Miao Lanlan; the thing is, it was actually her idea!"
"That girl always acts without considering the consequences; I’ll deal with her when I get back!" Miao Ruoruo said indignantly.
Ling Feng looked at her, "You aren’t also blaming me for being too impulsive, are you?"
"How could I?" Miao Ruoruo was taken aback and hurriedly said, "I haven’t even had the chance to thank you for taking such a big risk for me!"
"It’s what I should do, but I didn’t expect that girl would recognize me; I’m afraid the situation might get complicated!" said Ling Feng.
"It shouldn’t. Li Jianshe is very powerful; since he told you not to overthink it, he must have a way to handle the situation," Miao Ruoruo said.
Ling Feng smiled, "I didn’t realize you were so thoughtful, connecting these two things together!"
