Lin Feng and Liu Lao have known each other for a very short time, and it would be quite difficult for Lin Feng to help Liu Lao at the cost of diminishing his own strength. Lin Feng is not a philanthropist, and in fact, if Qian Bang were to plot against him, he could be in a precarious situation.
So, at this moment, Lin Feng would not make such a significant sacrifice for Liu Lao.
To Lin Feng's surprise, Liu Lao seemed to have anticipated his response. Although there was an inevitable look of disappointment on his face, he still said to Lin Feng, "Hehe... Old man is being unreasonable. Yanran, come in."
Since Lin Feng and Liu Lao began their conversation, Liu Yanran had been waiting outside and couldn't enter.
"I'm here, Grandpa. What's wrong?" Liu Yanran hurried in upon hearing her grandfather's call.
"Hehe... Bring the small gift I prepared for Mr. Lin. After listening to the old man ramble on for so long, it's just a token of my appreciation," Liu Lao instructed when he saw Liu Yanran had arrived.
Only then did Lin Feng realize that despite his refusal, they were still presenting him with a gift, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.
However, while it was justifiable for Lin Feng to refuse Liu Lao's request, he absolutely would not accept a gift after turning them down. He quickly declined, saying, "Hehe... Old Master, I'm still young and not tired. I believe in no reward without effort; I will take my leave now."
After saying this, Lin Feng prepared to leave.
"What? Lin Feng, you won't agree?" Liu Yanran finally understood that Lin Feng had actually refused. She knew how long her grandfather had waited for Lin Feng and how much effort he had put into ensuring that Liu Lao would not fall into decline. At this moment, she could not accept Lin Feng's refusal; she understood that his rejection represented a dark future for the Liu Family.
"Um, I'm very sorry." Lin Feng had already turned around. If possible, he would be willing to help the Liu Family; after all, in a sense, they were from the same lineage. But right now, he truly felt powerless and was barely managing on his own.
"Yanran, how can you speak like that? Bring my gift over," Liu Lao said with a rare reprimand upon seeing Yanran's expression. He understood what she was thinking but had his own thoughts as well.
"Grandpa..." Liu Yanran still wouldn't give up, saying.
"What's wrong? Is Grandpa's word not effective anymore?" Liu Lao glared with wide eyes and scolded.
"No... I'll go get it now." Liu Yanran shot a fierce glare at Lin Feng, then went inside to retrieve it.
Lin Feng didn't want to stay here any longer and was about to leave. How could he possibly have the nerve to wait for the so-called gift from the Liu Family? It would be embarrassing to accept it.
"Hey... Mr. Lin, wait a moment," Liu Lao stepped forward to stop Lin Feng and said.
"But..." Lin Feng wanted to say that he hadn't helped the Liu Family with anything and couldn't accept their gift, but Liu Lao waved his hand dismissively.
Lin Feng was about to say something else when Liu Yanran returned, carrying a gift box.
"Grandpa, here it is," Liu Yanran handed the box to her Grandpa and said.
"Mm." Liu Lao took the box and then passed it to Lin Feng.
"Liu Lao, I won't accept your gift," Lin Feng had no intention of accepting anything; that would only make things awkward for himself.
"Open it and take a look; this is something I've prepared for a long time," Liu Lao remained calm as he handed the box to Lin Feng, urging him.
"This..." Lin Feng still wanted to refuse, but Liu Lao had already opened the box.
What caught the eye was a Jade Pearl.
At first glance, it appeared to be a Jade Pearl, but upon closer inspection, Lin Feng was shocked.
"Is this the Jade Spirit Pearl?" Lin Feng exclaimed, as he happened to know about this particular pearl.
In fact, it wasn't just that Lin Feng happened to know about it; the pearl was so famous, especially in the Jade Industry, that it was considered a rare treasure.
"Yes, indeed," Liu Lao replied. From his tone, Lin Feng could tell that this was one of Liu Lao's prized possessions.
Unable to contain himself, Lin Feng took the pearl out of the box. He felt an urgent desire to touch it.
Almost instinctively, Lin Feng probed the Jade Spirit Pearl with his Mental Power.
"What a rich Jade Energy!" Lin Feng couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
"Indeed, it's a treasure," Tesla chimed in at that moment, also expressing his admiration. It's worth noting that there weren't many things Tesla would refer to as a "treasure."
"Old Buddy, do you think if I absorb the Jade Energy from this pearl, it could upgrade the Magic Ring?" Lin Feng couldn't help but think along those lines.
"Absolutely! Perhaps this upgrade will bring us some surprises," Tesla replied with anticipation.
"Hehe... but it's not mine," Lin Feng initially felt elated, but soon realized that the pearl did not belong to him.
Although Liu Lao said he wanted to give it to him, Lin Feng really couldn't accept such a thing; he couldn't afford it.
"How is it?" Liu Lao noticed the lingering look on Lin Feng's face as he gazed at the bead and asked.
"Very good, but I can't accept it. Goodbye." No matter how good the item was, it wasn't his. Lin Feng directly took his leave; facing such a treasure but unable to take it for himself, he decided that what he couldn't have was better left unseen.
"Sigh... Mr. Lin, please wait a moment." Liu Lao still wanted to keep Lin Feng around, but Lin Feng didn't linger and walked away.
After leaving the Liu Family's Back Mountain, Lin Feng headed straight to the venue where the Liu Family was holding the Jade Exhibition and found Yuling and Chen Sheng.
With Lin Feng's previous impressive performance, the two were naturally surrounded by people. When Lin Feng found them, they were still socializing.
"Let's go." Lin Feng didn't want to stay there any longer and said to Chen Sheng and Yuling.
Seeing Lin Feng say this, Yuling and Chen Sheng weren't unreasonable people either and prepared to leave with him.
As for those who had intended to get closer to Chen Sheng and Yuling while learning more about Lin Feng, upon seeing that Lin Feng had no intention of staying, they didn't dare to insist. They only exchanged a few polite remarks like "Hope to see you again in the future," before leaving. They certainly didn't want to offend Lin Feng.
Being treated so importantly by the Liu Family, they naturally didn't dare to be careless.
"Lin Feng, what's wrong?" Although Chen Sheng left with Lin Feng, he looked confused. He knew that Lin Feng wanted to push them into the spotlight, so why would he choose to leave in the middle of their socializing?
Yuling shared the same question.
"It's fine, let's go." Lin Feng didn't want to say much; some things were not suitable to tell them now, and knowing wouldn't make any difference.
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't want to talk, Chen Sheng and Yuling stopped asking questions and drove away.
"Grandpa... Lin Feng has already left. How could you just let him go like that?" Liu Yanran felt anxious for her Grandpa. It was hard to find Lin Feng, and he had just acknowledged their connection, yet her Grandpa seemed to give up so quickly.
"This matter cannot be rushed, Yan'er. Remember, whether or not Lin Feng helps our Liu Family, we must treat him as a distinguished guest. Especially during his time in City A, we still need to protect him, understand?" Liu Lao's expression was resolute on this issue, clearly not allowing Liu Yanran to disobey.
"But, Grandpa..." Liu Yanran wanted to say more but was interrupted by Liu Lao.
"Grandpa understands your intentions and knows you mean well for the Liu Family, but this is non-negotiable. As long as I am still around, you must do as I just told you," Liu Lao waved his hand and instructed his most favored granddaughter.
Clearly, this was a firm order from Liu Lao.
"Alright, Grandpa, I want to know why?" Liu Yanran realized that since her Grandpa had said this, there was no room for discussion. She took a step back and asked.
"Remember where you come from!" Liu Lao said thoughtfully with those four words before falling silent again.
"Okay, I understand. I'll make arrangements right away." Seeing her Grandpa's demeanor, Liu Yanran knew that anything else she said would be futile. She hadn't expected Lin Feng to hold such importance in her Grandpa's eyes and realized that now she only had to carry out her Grandpa's orders.
"Mm." Seeing Liu Yanran obediently accept the command, Liu Lao nodded and closed his eyes again.
"Lin Feng, we gained a lot today. With Liu Lao mentioning your name, those who usually don't interact with us are eager to get to know us. I think our store's business will definitely improve in the future." In the car, Yuling reported the situation to Lin Feng with a cheerful expression on her face.
"Oh, that's good news. How about it? Are there any rich second-generation heirs trying to get to know you?" Lin Feng forced himself to stop thinking about Liu Lao and teased Yuling.
"Hey, Lin Feng, you're mixing business with pleasure. I'm trying to talk about serious matters here," Yuling replied, now more familiar with Lin Feng.
"Haha... alright, alright. Let's keep up the good work and aim for great results," Lin Feng said seriously when he noticed that his teasing had annoyed her.
"Of course! I have some good news for you. Uncle Chen just agreed to gradually give me some opportunities to appraise jade stones. I will definitely work hard," Yuling said, suddenly recalling what Chen Sheng had promised her, expressing her excitement and determination.
"Haha... as long as you're willing to work hard, that's great. Make sure to learn well from Uncle Chen," Lin Feng encouraged her.
With that, Lin Feng continued chatting with Yuling on the way, discussing everything from work matters to personal topics. Unfortunately, they didn't get to talk about life goals before they arrived at their destination.
"Haha... let's continue this conversation another time," Lin Feng said somewhat reluctantly to Yuling.
"Yeah, Lin Feng, you're quite good at chatting with girls. You’re not a playboy, are you?" This was the result of their conversation; Yuling's perception of Lin Feng as a boss was gradually being replaced by seeing him as a friend, allowing her to say such things casually.
"Haha... I would say your approach is just like mine," Lin Feng replied with a mysterious smile before countering her statement.
Yuling initially didn't catch on but eventually understood and shouted that she would give Lin Feng a hard time.
