Chapter 42 - Uncle's birthday banquet

However, just as she stood up, she was pulled by Ling Feng's hand. Ling Feng shook his head and whispered a sentence in Zheng Miaoyi's ear. "Forget it. The more inferior people are, the more they like vanity and comparison." "The more they lack something, the more they like to show off something!" Zheng Miaoyi thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. These relatives seemed to be belittling Ling Feng and showing off how powerful they were. In fact, they were just a group of pitiful and inferior people.

On one side, Li Kaiyu was busy dealing with the flattering of relatives. Just then, his mobile phone rang. After looking at the caller information, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. Unexpectedly, he just casually mentioned Uncle's birthday in front of the section chief. And this section chief really came! Being able to invite a leader to attend Uncle's birthday banquet was also a way to boost his face! Thinking of this, he felt that the gap between him and Ling Feng was even greater.

After Li Kaiyu went out and welcomed the section chief in, he proudly introduced him to everyone. This was a section chief of their city management bureau. Ling Feng glanced at this person. He was fat and had a big head. He gave the feeling of being out of breath after taking just two steps. Li Kaiyu introduced his father-in-law to the section chief. The section chief was very excited. Shaking his fat body, he insisted on personally handing the gift to Uncle. Unexpectedly, when the section chief passed by Zheng Miaoyi, his fat body bumped into Zheng Miaoyi's chair. Fortunately, Ling Feng was quick-eyed and reached out to support her. Although his wife didn't fall, the tea cup on the table was knocked over and her skirt was wetted. But the section chief didn't take it seriously and directly gave the gift to Uncle. "Mr. Zheng, I wish you happiness as immense as the East Sea and a long life like the southern mountains!" Ling Feng's expression darkened. He stood up and looked at the section chief. "Are you blind or something? You don't even say sorry after knocking someone down?" He didn't know if this guy really didn't see it or pretended not to see it.

Hearing this, the section chief frowned and turned his head. Seeing that the section chief's expression wasn't good, Li Kaiyu scolded first. "Who are you? Are you, a waste, worthy of our section chief's apology?" The relatives sneered coldly and followed suit. "That's right. He didn't do it on purpose!" "It's just that the skirt is wetted. It's not something valuable. It will dry soon!" In their opinion, Li Kaiyu had more face. On his father-in-law's birthday, even the section chief came to give a gift. In this comparison, Ling Feng was even more insignificant in their eyes.

"Forget it!" This time, it was Zheng Miaoyi who pulled Ling Feng to sit down. Since his wife had spoken, Ling Feng had to let it go. He picked up a tissue and lowered his head to help Zheng Miaoyi wipe her skirt. Seeing this, everyone thought Ling Feng was cowardly. The section chief snorted coldly and then continued to give gifts to Uncle. After a few polite remarks, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Zheng, is there a relative named Ling Feng in your family?" Uncle was slightly stunned and asked, "Section chief, do you want to find Ling Feng for something?" The section chief smiled and nodded. "To be honest, I do have something to ask of him!" After sitting down, Uncle was stunned for a moment and then showed an awkward smile. "Section chief, did you find the wrong person?" "Ling Feng is just a live-in son-in-law who eats soft food!" "What help can such a waste be to you?" Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the section chief's face immediately became gloomy. He snorted and said, "Hmph. If he were a waste, why would I ask him for help?" "Just tell me if there is such a relative." Seeing that the section chief's expression wasn't good, Uncle quickly pointed in Ling Feng's direction. "He is Ling Feng!" The section chief turned his head and looked in the direction Uncle pointed. In the next moment, the corners of his mouth twitched and his face was extremely embarrassed. The person he didn't take seriously just now was actually Ling Feng! The section chief's expression changed and immediately became flattering. "Mr. Ling, I'm sorry. I accidentally knocked over your wife just now!" He hurriedly walked to Ling Feng's side and bowed and apologized with a smile. But Ling Feng just ignored him as if he were air and didn't even look at him. He still slowly wiped the water stains on Zheng Miaoyi's skirt.

Li Kaiyu didn't know why the section chief was looking for Ling Feng. But his attitude was really a bit excessive. "Ling Feng, don't be ungrateful. Our section chief has already apologized to you!" When the section chief heard Li Kaiyu's words, his face darkened and he turned back and scolded. "You shut up. There's no place for you to speak here!" After saying that, the section chief turned his head again and was once again flattering. He handed over a bank card. "Mr. Ling, this is a little token of my apology." "Please put in a good word for me in front of Director Zhao!" Ling Feng glanced at him and pushed the bank card back. "Let's talk about it when there's time." The section chief wasn't stupid. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the first to find out about Ling Feng's connection. Seeing Ling Feng's refusal, he was also embarrassed to stay any longer. If he annoyed Ling Feng, he might not even be able to keep his current position. In the end, it might be a loss rather than a gain. "How about I invite you to dinner again sometime to apologize?" Ling Feng didn't speak and was wholeheartedly wiping his wife's skirt. The section chief smiled awkwardly and then got up and left. Li Kaiyu still wanted to show off and asked the section chief to stay for a meal. But now the section chief was in no mood. He ignored him and left directly.

As soon as the fat section chief left, all the relatives surrounded Ling Feng. They also saw that the fat section chief came to give a gift not because of Li Kaiyu's face but because of Ling Feng's face. "Ling Feng, do you know some important person?" "Yes. Why don't you introduce someone to my Xiaolin? He also wants to enter the city management bureau." "..." The relatives talked one after another. Ling Feng looked at everyone and sneered in his heart. "What important person can I know? I just happened to have a meal with Director Zhao of the city management bureau once. We don't have much acquaintance!" These relatives were all snobbish. He didn't want to cause more trouble for himself. Sure enough, as soon as the relatives heard this, they all shook their heads and dispersed. And Li Kaiyu, who felt that he had lost face just now, showed off his promotion to deputy squadron leader again. As soon as the relatives heard this, they still felt that Li Kaiyu had a future and all came forward to flatter him. After a few glasses of wine, Li Kaiyu also became a bit dizzy and said to Ling Feng. "Ling Feng, if you want to set up a stall in the future, do it anywhere. I'll cover you!" The relatives all laughed and said that if Ling Feng became prosperous by setting up a stall in the future, he mustn't forget them. Facing everyone's ridicule, Ling Feng didn't care. "I won't set up a stall in the future. I'm planning to open a clinic!" Open a clinic? When the relatives heard Ling Feng's words, no one took it seriously and laughed out loud again.

When father-in-law and mother-in-law heard that Ling Feng still wanted to open a clinic, their expressions immediately darkened. Unexpectedly, he was still thinking about this! After several rounds of drinking, everyone gave gifts to Uncle one after another. Li Kaiyu took out a long box and opened it. Inside was a ginseng. "Dad, this is a fifty-year-old wild ginseng I bought at Renxin Pharmacy. This is a treasure of Renxin Pharmacy. It's a good thing that can't be bought even with money!" The mother-in-law beside him looked at it with shining eyes and was extremely jealous. Seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law's expressions, Ling Feng said on one side: "Mom, if you want it, I'll buy a real one for you. Forget about this fake one!" He just took one look and saw that there was a problem. This was absolutely not a wild ginseng at all, let alone a treasure of Renxin Pharmacy. It was just an artificially cultivated ordinary ginseng. Ling Feng didn't lower his voice. Li Kaiyu naturally heard it clearly. He turned his head and glared at Ling Feng and scolded loudly. "You said Renxin Pharmacy sells fakes? Do you know what consequences you will have if this sentence spreads?" Ling Feng sneered and shook his head. He didn't want to say more at first. But this was Li Kaiyu bringing a fake to deceive people and putting the blame on him. "Is it a fake? We can just go to Renxin Pharmacy and check it out and we'll know." Hearing this, Li Kaiyu frowned slightly. "Father-in-law's birthday banquet is still going on. Who is so stupid as to run around with you?" Ling Feng smiled and said, "It's okay not to go to Renxin Pharmacy either." "I have their phone number. We can just call and ask and we'll know."
