Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 362: Networking

'So where does your boss Feng live? Do you know? He stayed at the school for a few days during military training, but hasn't stayed there since,' Yan Zhida in the back row asked.

'I'm not sure, but I heard from someone who went to Feng's new place that it's near the airport!'

'Near the airport?'

No one had any impression of that area. Now, very few students fly to the school to report for classes, and only two local people, Han Guiliang and Yan Zhida, knew that there was the earliest villa area in the capital nearby.

'Yes, it's in that villa area,' Xiaoliu Ping usually doesn't have much contact with Feng Yiping, but now in front of the boss's classmates, she won't spare any effort to brag about her boss.

'I heard that his house, from the decoration plan to the style of the mahogany furniture, was mainly designed by President Feng himself, and then the decoration company and furniture company improved it on his basis.'

'Really?' Hearing this, the three girls became even more interested.

The former Central Academy of Arts and Crafts was famous for its design, and although only one of them was in the design department, they were all familiar with design through exposure.

'Of course, the best-selling furniture in the furniture factory right now is still the batch designed by Mr Feng himself, and most of the design plans of the decoration company were also developed based on Mr Feng's designs.'

With Xiaoliu's promotion, when they sat down, the girls were more enthusiastic about Feng Yiping, which of course made the other guys a bit depressed.

The location of the dinner was finally chosen to be a hotel, which specializes in authentic Beijing cuisine and has a KTV. There are also guest rooms above, so if you play too late at night, you can just stay there.

It was of a good enough standard and convenient, and it knocked Yan Zhida's idea of going to a seafood buffet out of the question. That was a good idea too, but there were definitely no private rooms, so it wasn't suitable for people like them who were meeting for the first time.

There were six men and six women, sitting right next to each other. Zuo Qing took the lead and sat on the right hand side of Feng Yiping. To his left was the girl in the grey trench coat, who also took off her jacket at this time to reveal the pink and blue sweater underneath. It had to be said that these girls from the Academy of Fine Arts, regardless of their temperament or anything else, did have good fashion sense.

Men are the most generous at this time, and since everyone knows that Feng Yiping is footing the bill, they all discuss the menu with the girls at their sides. They look so eager to tell the girls that they don't care about money and just order the most expensive things.

Luckily, the girls know what they're doing and order some classic dishes that are just a bit too expensive, such as shredded pork in Beijing sauce, stir-fried lamb with spring onions, wok-fried mushrooms with vinegar, jade-green tofu, and diced chicken with peppers.

But these obviously did not show sincerity, so the boys ordered another dish, adding a roast, a braised cuttlefish, a beef dish, a spicy dry pot shrimp, a duck casserole, and Feng Yiping ordered a crystal sugar knuckle.

However, when they ate, Feng Yiping was not happy at all. His roommates were all bad teammates.

The boys all drank white wine, while the girls drank red wine. They made excuses and reasons, and toasted the girls several times, but after being gently pushed away with a smile by those girls, they actually looked for their own people to drink with, toasting their own brothers one after the other.

The most down-to-earth was classmate Lu Wenqing. Not only did he toast his own brothers, but when the girls made a gesture, he would drink half a glass with them. It was as if he would not stop until he had drunk himself into a stupor.

Feng Yiping saw that the situation was getting out of hand and called a halt after the six of them had finished two bottles of baijiu. 'Boss, let's drink red wine too. These younger sisters from the Academy of Fine Arts have such high emotional intelligence. If this continues, we'll all be drunk in no time.'

'Hee hee,' the girls laughed one after the other, looking quite pleased with themselves. They hadn't even used a few of their tricks to stop the guys drinking, and they could already see that the six guys were about to lose.

Jin Bao, in front of these girls, was no longer his usual shrewd self. He had also drunk quite a bit by now. After listening to Feng Yiping's words and seeing that each of his friends was flushed, and Lu Wenqing even looked a little drunk, he finally reacted, 'Yes, let's all switch to red wine. We'll be singing in a while, so don't get so drunk that you can't even walk.'

'Yes, we don't judge heroes by their drinking either. Our main task is to take good care of the girls from the Academy of Fine Arts, so everyone should take it easy, not just minding their own drinking, but also making sure to accompany the girls and chat with them,' Feng Yiping added.

Zuo Qing smiled naturally and gave him a little tap on the arm, "You're just saying that about us in a different way!'

'No, you're thinking too much, beautiful Zuo. What do you think?" He raised his glass to Zuo Qing.

Zuo Qing lifted her glass and touched it to his in a slight nod of meaning. Feng Yiping also nodded slightly, not feeling in the least ungraceful.

With his prompting, these dullards finally managed to shift their attention to the girls around them. Each one tried to outdo the other, each showing off their own special skills, either trying to sell themselves or to make the girl next to them smile.

Feng Yiping, with the mentality of a middle-aged man in his thirties, watched this drama of phoenixes courting phoenixes from the sidelines. He really found it quite interesting. It's great to be young!

Towards the end, Feng Yiping excused himself to go to the bathroom and settled the bill. Jin Bao signalled to Feng Yiping when he saw him return. Feng Yiping nodded, 'Everyone, let's finish the wine in our cups and move to the KTV, shall we?'

Zuo Qing finished the remaining wine in her cup and said to Feng Yiping, 'Thank you!' She knew what Feng Yiping had just been doing.

They had eaten too much that night, and when they arrived at the karaoke bar, everyone ordered fruit and juice. At the urging of the others, Liang Yonggao and his girlfriend Xiaoxia sang an old song together, 'Choice'. The effect was not good. In fact, Xiaoxia was not bad, but Liang Yonggao was a bit lacking. However, the meaning was quite good. The two of them held hands and looked into each other's eyes, looking like a passionate couple, making the people below scream with laughter.

The girls from the art school all had good singing voices. After Zuo Qing sang the song 'The Most Familiar Stranger', she looked at Feng Yiping, who was clapping but looked listless and leaning back on the sofa. After thinking for a moment, she went out for a while.

Next, something happened that made Feng Yiping's jaw drop. The chubby, rough-looking guy, Jin Bao, actually sang the A Dream of Red Mansions interlude 'Weng Ningmei' (Wasting Sorrows). And the words he sang were full of tone and charm. The song was originally sung by a girl in a very sad and plaintive way, but with his slightly hoarse baritone, it had a different kind of flavour.

Before he finished singing, there was a lot of applause, and the girls were applauding and cheering. His performance must have made a big impression on the girls.

'That was really good. Why don't you sing a song too? I'm sure you can sing well too,' Zuo Qing had been applauding enthusiastically, and now turned his attention back to Feng Yiping.

'How dare I compare with him,' Feng Yiping shook his head and refused, 'Jin Bao's performance was so good, how can they sing?'

Just then, the door opened and the waiter walked in carrying a tray of milk in glasses. 'This way,' Zuo Qing waved.

'Here,' Zuo Qing handed him a glass, "I specifically asked them to warm it with water, I can see that you seem to have had a bit too much to drink.'

'Thank you, you're so considerate! Come on, guys, have a cup of warm milk to sober up.'

'Yes, drink it while it's still warm," Zuo Qing handed each of them a glass.

'Zou Shimei, you're so considerate,' Lu Wenqing handed them a cup and added, "This kid, how can you say such things in front of these girls?"

Sure enough, as soon as he said it, the expressions of the other girls changed.

Jin Bao and Feng Yiping exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.

Finally, unable to refuse everyone else, Feng Yiping had to go up and sing a song. He chose the hit from last year, How Much Love Can Be Retried. He didn't have a good grasp of the rhythm, but everyone listening could clearly feel the emotions in his singing, and such singing could also move people.

Zuo Qing tapped along to the beat while thinking, what has this classmate really been through? He can put himself into the emotions of such a song.

But she didn't have time to dwell on it because Feng Yiping had just sung halfway through when a pretty girl playfully poked her head out the door, and Feng Yiping then smiled and held out his hand to her.

The girl, with her painted eyebrows and eyes, was carrying an exquisite handbag and first greeted everyone, 'Hello everyone!'

'Jingping is here!' Even Yan Zhida took the initiative to greet her.

Huang Jingping took Feng Yiping's hand and said to them with a smile, 'He's had a bit too much to drink, and I'm not sure I trust him to drive home by himself.'

Zuo Qing noticed that ever since this girl called Jingping had come in, Feng Yiping's expression had become animated. He took the girl's hand and said, "Let's sing a song,'

'Sure, what should we sing?" Huang Jingping rested her head on his shoulder and looked at him lovingly.

'Wenqing, help us order a song called "Double Fly".'

The two of them sang one line each, finishing the song that was originally a male solo. Compared to Liang Yonggao and Xiaoxia just now, their skills at showing off their love were obviously more developed. An inadvertent glance at each other revealed the affection involved.

Jinbao noticed that when they were singing, the four other girls, except Xiaoxia, sat even closer together, as if they were even more united than before.

When they returned to school, Zuoqing was still sitting in the back row with Liang Yonggao and the others, watching as Huang Jingping in front of them carefully adjusted Feng Yiping's seat belt. The petty thoughts that had previously arisen naturally disappeared.

In the dormitory, apart from Liang Yonggao, everyone seemed to be in a low mood today. After a few words about the past, Han Guiliang said with a sigh, 'I think that in the future, if there are similar gatherings, we should ask that guy Yiping not to participate. Whenever he goes, all the girls' attention is focused on him.'

'That's a good idea!' Jin Ba was the first to agree. He had made such a big move today, but the result was not good, and he was also a little frustrated.

'I agree,' Lu Wenqing said.

'Come on, Wenqing, you really need to learn how to behave, especially when dealing with a group of girls. One thing you say often directly offends a group of them,' Liang Yonggao said discontentedly.

'Wenqing, you're a bit too straightforward, unlike us who are slick, which is actually quite rare. I believe there will be girls who like his type,' Han Guiliang said.

'That's true. Compared to us, Wen Qing is a piece of unpolished jade,' Jin Bao also comforted him.

'The Sound of Silence' was quietly playing in the carriage. 'Is there anything that catches your eye? I think those girls are all pretty, especially the one next to you. She's beautiful and has a good temperament.' Huang Jingping was still not very good at driving, but at this time she happened to have the heart to talk to Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping flirtatiously reached out to touch her face, 'You're the only one I find pleasing to the eye,' and he sang, 'I say there's only you in my eyes,'

'Flowery words,' Huang Jingping said with a smile, and she also freed one hand and gently placed it on Feng Yiping's hand, which was resting on her face.
