After getting drunk, Yi Feng unknowingly fell asleep on Gu Muxi's bed and slept until he naturally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it had started to rain outside.
Guessing from the sky, it was probably not early anymore.
Yi Feng muttered to himself, rubbing his sore head, and sat up to look at the wall clock. It was already 11 in the morning.
"Wow, I've slept for so long!"
"No wonder I woke up once in the middle… It turns out I had two sleeps."
Yi Feng talked to himself, shaking his head to make himself more awake.
No help for it, Gu Muxi's bed was just too comfortable.
He got up and left the room, seeing Gu Muxi lying on the couch. She was wearing black shorts and a white T-shirt, her long and smooth legs particularly eye-catching.
"Good morning, Gu Muxi!" Yi Feng chuckled, greeting her.
"And, about last night, you took over my bed, what do you have to say?"
"I had to sleep on the couch all night!" Gu Muxi bared her teeth and huffed.
Yi Feng scratched his head, laughing, "Hey, what can I say? It's not like I took over you, just your bed."
"How about… I make a sacrifice, offering myself in exchange? How's that?"
Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him, disdainfully saying, "Hmph~ Who wants your body?"
"Selling it wouldn't make much meat."
"Hey hey, Gu Muxi, don't underestimate me, huh? Don't look at my small build, but I have a lot of energy!" Yi Feng raised his right hand, showing off his pitiful bit of muscle.
"Pfft~"
Gu Muxi laughed, sarcastically saying, "Alright, Yi Feng, keep your little muscles to yourself."
Yi Feng's face showed embarrassment, quickly changing the subject, "Gu Muxi, do you have breakfast? I'm hungry."
"My mom specially made meat porridge for you and left some boiled eggs for you. All I had this morning was plain porridge and pickles!" Gu Muxi pouted, quite unhappy with her mother's preferential treatment.
Mom, I'm your biological daughter!
Why are you so nice to Stinky Feng!
Yi Feng chuckled, "Auntie is really nice to me, thank you!"
Yi Feng hummed a tune and ran to the kitchen to find something to eat.
After breakfast, Yi Feng found many unfamiliar numbers in his phone, probably the media circle had spread his phone number around.
"Yi Feng, what do you plan to do these days?"
"Go to the shop to work, and then… accept interviews."
"Uh… you really are busy."
"Are you asking this because you want to go on a date?"
"Hehe, how about going for judo practice?"
"Uh… let's skip that, I'd like to live a few more years."
…
Five days flew by. Besides going to the shop to repair computers and selecting a company location, Yi Feng was at home accepting interviews from various media.
After being interviewed for five days, things finally quieted down, but Yi Feng's name appeared in various newspapers, and his story was broadcast twice during the prime time news slot of Guangdong province.
Yi Feng, the top scorer of Guangdong province, became the center of attention in a short period of time.
The forum post about the "Oyster Brother" was pinned by the moderator, and many netizens left comments, debunking the original poster, making it the biggest turnaround post of the year and a topic of conversation for everyone.
This series of news reports also indirectly promoted Yi Feng's computer shop. The business got better, and the online store was finally revamped and launched, further expanding online sales.
Yi Feng's business was on the right track, but the talent gap became increasingly apparent. Relying on Yi Feng alone to repair computers was becoming overwhelming.
He urgently needed to expand the team size and establish an appropriate team structure and corporate system to extricate himself from low-level tedious missions.
One Sunday, Yi Feng contacted a teacher from the Guangxi University, Huang He, wanting to invite him out for a meal.
Huang He was very happy to receive Yi Feng's call, but he didn't agree to meet outside. Instead, he wanted to invite Yi Feng over for a simple meal at home.
Hearing it was an invitation to his home, Yi Feng felt relieved, understanding that this indicated a basic level of trust.
He quickly agreed, arranging to visit at six in the afternoon.
At six o'clock, Yi Feng took a taxi to Huang He's residential area, carrying gifts in both hands.
Following the detailed address provided by Huang He, Yi Feng arrived at his door and knocked.
"Who is it?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.
"Hello, aunty, I'm Yi Feng," Yi Feng replied at the door.
"Ah, wait a moment, I'm coming!"
Then, hurried footsteps approached the door.
The door opened, and a mature, graceful middle-aged woman in an apron appeared.
"So you're Yi Feng, this year's top scorer of Guangdong province! Truly impressive!" The middle-aged woman greeted him with a warm smile, full of praise.
"Come in, come in."
Yi Feng modestly said, "Hi, aunty, you flatter me. I was just a bit lucky."
"This is a little gift for you, please accept it."
The middle-aged woman chuckled, "Why bring gifts? Really, it's not necessary."
Yi Feng entered, set down the gifts, and laughed, "What kind of student would I be if I didn't bring gifts on my first visit to a teacher's home? If my parents knew, they would scold me to death!"
"Besides, you're a respected elder, aunty. It's only right for a student to bring a gift."
With those words, Yi Feng positioned their relationship closer, like that of a student and a respected elder.
The middle-aged woman, moved by Yi Feng's gesture, said with a warmer smile, "Well then, I'll accept it."
"Old Huang, Little Feng is here!"
She called into the house, using the familiar term "Little Feng," showing closeness.
Huang He emerged from a room, smiling at Yi Feng, "Come, Little Feng, didn't you want to try my tea? Let's go to the tea room and have some tea first. We'll eat once the dishes are ready."
"Haha, I've been looking forward to trying Teacher Huang's tea for a long time, so I'll gladly accept!" Yi Feng responded with a laugh.
"You guys go ahead and have tea. I'll go cook and call you when it's ready." The middle-aged woman looked at Yi Feng cheerfully, her eyes full of admiration.
"It's really kind of you." Yi Feng nodded, then headed to the room indicated by Huang He.
Opening the door, he found a spacious tea room, decorated in an antique style, with a mahogany tea table that looked quite imposing.
Huang He was just a regular teacher, yet Yi Feng was surprised to see such an expensive tea table, worth almost ten thousand yuan.
"Come on, Little Feng, take a seat. Today, you'll taste my collection of aged Pu'erh. I bought this tea cake a couple of years ago on a business trip to Yunnan province, in a tea factory in Pu'erh city. It's top-grade tea, exclusively supplied, something ordinary people can't taste." Huang He invited warmly, then took out an aged tea cake from a canister behind him.
Yi Feng smiled warmly, but his mind was analyzing the underlying meaning of Huang He's words.
Ordinary people might just listen and move on.
But Yi Feng, well-versed in the subtleties of business talk, knew some statements weren't made without reason.
This crafty old fox subtly hinted at his wide network of contacts, not bragging but implying as much.
Dealing with this sly old fox required extra caution.
