Chapter 343: Chapter 340: Personally Coming to Invite (Fifth Update! Seeking Recommendations!)_1

Ren Feifan returned to his seat.

He could clearly sense the eyes around him.

Some were cautious.

Some were in awe.

Some were fearful.

Some were jealous.

Yu Feng, sitting behind him, had a rather gloomy expression on his face, a cold glint in his eyes, and his fists were clenched.

He had thought that Ren Feifan had just happened to save Elder Ye out of a fortunate coincidence, but he would never have expected that his acupuncture skills were so divine!

It was terrifying!

Why!

Why was it this guy who has such a needle method, and not himself?

Ren Feifan’s Spiritual Sense naturally scanned Yu Feng behind him, but he didn’t care. A mere jester could not cause any waves.

The urgent matter was to find a way to get the Immortal Rhyme.

However, there were too many programs in this charity dinner, half an hour had passed, and there was no sign of it starting yet.

Ren Feifan was getting a bit impatient.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and found that it was from Cui Ying.

Ren Feifan could only get up and walk towards the corner, after all, Cui Ying was in Jiangnan Province all by herself, naturally he was the first one she would call if something came up.

He reached the corner next to the restroom and answered Cui Ying’s call.

"Little Fan, where are you?"

A crisp voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I’m at Linjiang Building attending a banquet I was invited to," Ren Feifan truthfully said.

"You were invited? You can’t stand not bragging for a day, can you? Why do I hear a woman’s voice? Have you sneaked out to flirt again? Confess!"

Cui Ying said rather mysteriously.

Ren Feifan looked around, there were no women around.

"You’re overthinking it, all the old folks around here are into traditional Chinese medicine. As for women, I hardly see any."

"Hmph, I’ll believe you for now. Are you planning to leave me alone in the hotel?"

Ren Feifan slapped his forehead apologetically, "My dear Madame Cui, I wouldn’t dare to forget about you."

"Then why don’t you come to see me? You promised to go shopping, to dine with me and enjoy Jiangnan’s food, to happily climb... cough, climb the mountain together."

Ren Feifan was shocked by Cui Ying’s words. He had indeed promised the first two things, but the latter, ahem, not climbing but whatever, he may not have mentioned.

What was she thinking about?

Seemingly noticing Ren Feifan’s speculation on the other end of the line, Cui Ying quickly changed the subject: "Forget it, I won’t ask you to go shopping with me, I’ll ask Shi Han. You don’t have many classes at the university, Shi Han will definitely be free at night. As for food, don’t you dare to trick me, one of my goals for coming to Jiangnan Province is to make you go broke!"

After saying that, she hung up before Ren Feifan could respond.

Ren Feifan listened to the busy tone on the phone, took off his mobile phone, and smiled helplessly.

So, the question is, why did Cui Ying call?

Why did this feel somewhat like a spot check?

Without giving it much thought, Ren Feifan decided to return to his seat. The banquet should be about to start soon, considering the host had already started preparing downstage.

Just then, Ren Feifan noticed two women coming his way. Judging by their looks, they were most likely headed to the restroom.

One of the women was wearing a mask and a duckbill cap, wrapped very tightly, but her figure was very good, bulging where it should, and raised where it should be.

The other woman was slightly overweight.

Wait a minute, this woman looked familiar.

Upon reflecting, Ren Feifan suddenly remembered, wasn’t this the Aunt Wang he had met on the train to Jiangnan province?

This Aunt Wang was somewhere repugnant, and Ren Feifan seemed to have taught her an intense lesson with money in their previous encounter.

This charity event seemed impressive. The guests included several people he knew, which made him realize that Zhu Ting must indeed have substantial influence in Jiangnan province.

After seeing Aunt Wang, Ren Feifan guessed who the masked beauty must be—it should be Zhao Jingshi, rumored to be a famous celebrity.

Compared to Aunt Wang, Zhao Jingshi was far less obnoxious and seemed to be more polite and educated: she was somewhat arrogant, with a slight sense of superiority that made her seem to think that everyone in Huaxia should know her. This trait of hers could occasionally make people feel uncomfortable.

Ren Feifan looked at Zhao Jingshi and Aunt Wang, both of whom stared back at him.

When their gazes fell upon Ren Feifan, they were both somewhat startled.

They had not expected to meet each other in such an event.

Not just anyone could attend this charity banquet- it was open only to the cream of the crop across various domains.

Even wealthy businessmen might not necessarily receive an invitation. So, how had this seemingly penniless student managed to attend?

Could he be a second-generation rich kid? But would a wealthy heir not know who Zhao Jingshi is?

Not a chance.

Thinking about the incident on the train made Aunt Wang furious. She had tried to find Ren Feifan for a long time, and even using her influence in the entertainment industry, she failed to locate him.

But now, here he was in front of her.

Aunt Wang readied herself to march towards Ren Feifan. She had barely taken a few steps when Zhao Jingshi pulled her back,

"Aunt Wang, let bygones be bygones. Don’t make a scene," she pleaded.

"Jing Shi, this little rascal was so arrogant back then, he..."

"Enough! If you keep this up, you’ll indirectly expose both of us. I still have to prepare for the next song. You should understand the importance of this event," Zhao Jingshi warned.

Only then did Aunt Wang stop. She watched with resentment as Ren Feifan brushed past them.

...

Ren Feifan returned to his seat. It was at this moment that the host ascended the stage.

Aware that a round of speeches by officials was likely to follow, Ren Feifan closed his eyes, ready to catch a brief nap.

However, some commotion in the crowd quickly woke him up.

An old man was walking towards his side. As he did, almost everyone in the first and second rows of the traditional medicine section stood up.

Old Huang stood, bent at the waist, and respectfully greeted the man, "Mr. Zhu."

Everyone stood up to greet Mr Zhu, except one person—Ren Feifan.

Despite being aware of the arrival of a person, Ren Feifan had no interest in ingratiating himself with a stranger. Therefore, he didn’t deem it necessary to engage in obsequious niceties.

Old Master Zhu waved at the crowd with a friendly smile, "It’s been quite a while since I last saw everyone. If memory serves me right, the last banquet was held six months ago. Ah, traditional medicine is our ancestors’ precious asset entrusted to us, and it’s all up to you guys now."

After exchanging formalities, Old Master Zhu came straight up to Ren Feifan. Seeing that Ren Feifan seemed to be resting, he had no choice but to lean over and whisper, "Master Ren?"

It finally dawned on everyone why Old Master Zhu was there—he had come to see Master Ren.

Well, it made sense, Ren Feifan’s performance earlier was impressive enough to attract Old Master Zhu’s attention.

Holy crap, Master Ren was going to skyrocket!

If he can get on the good side of Old Master Zhu, he could pretty much have his run of the place—save for the six big families of Jiangnan province.

Upon hearing the commotion, Ren Feifan exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, and looked indifferent when he saw the elderly man in front of him.

Aware that Ren Feifan might be cold or indifferent to Old Master Zhu, Old Huang hurriedly played the host and introduced, "Master Ren, this gentleman here is Mr. Zhu, the number one philanthropist in Jiangnan province. He is also the organizer of this charity event; the Immortal Rhyme you’re looking for..."

His statement was abruptly cut, but the implication was clear—he was reminding Ren Feifan to keep his temper in check if he wanted the Immortal Rhyme.
