"Hmph, you stinky man, how dare you avoid me? I will definitely not forgive you!" Lin Xiaoyun said angrily.
After having breakfast, Qin Feng greeted his parents and drove to a hotel in the city's outskirts.
The hotel was in a very secluded location, with no high-rise buildings around. Clearly, this hotel also belonged to the Lins Group, so Qin Feng drove into the hotel without any hindrance.
Arriving at the banquet hall, Qin Feng found the table Lin Mengyao and the others had mentioned.
Lin Mengyao, Lin Mengyao's father, and her sister were drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Qin Feng, smiles appeared on all three of their faces simultaneously.
"Qin Feng is here. Have a seat," Lin Guodong said with a smile.
After Qin Feng sat down, he saw another seat nearby. So, after sitting, he asked, "Dad, I thought you would arrange a private room. I didn't expect you to arrange a single table; isn't this a bit too shabby?"
"What do you know? We indeed don't have a private room, but this is being low-key. Look, our position is right in the center of the lobby. Even ordinary guests who want to get close to this table must pass through the lobby!" Lin Guodong said with a grin.
"Haha, then you really are being low-key!" Qin Feng praised, though in his heart, he looked at this father in a new light.

The design of this hotel was indeed good. In the center of the lobby was a circular stage, decorated with transparent glass on all sides, allowing everything on the stage to be seen clearly.
Around the stage, it was surrounded by red roses. In the center was a white piano, with many white roses placed next to it, making it look like a princess from a fairy tale.
Not far away stood a young man in a white suit, holding a guitar and playing a soothing tune.
Such an environment, paired with such singing, was indeed very attractive. No wonder the employees of the Lins Group liked dining here.
"Dad, what special day is it tonight?"
"Take a guess."
"How could I possibly guess?"
"Haha, it's normal that you don't know. But today is my birthday, did you know?" Lin Guodong asked with a smile.
"I really didn't know. I thought it was your birthday!" Qin Feng shook his head with a smile.
"My birthday?" Lin Guodong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "This silly Child, you've only seen me a few times—how could you have guessed it!"
"Hehe, aren't there psychologists? You are their idol!"
Qin Feng's single remark made everyone burst into laughter.
The banquet was held in a five-star hotel, and those attending were all political figures.
As the president of the Lins Group, Lin Guodong naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Of course, there was no shortage of media. Such a grand event was excellent news material for them.
Before the banquet started, someone carrying a glass of champagne came to Qin Feng's side and handed it to him: "Sir, do you know Chairman Lin?"
"I don't know him." Qin Feng shook his head with a smile, then picked up the glass and drained the champagne.
Seeing that Qin Feng ignored him, the reporter's face turned very ugly.
"Sir, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! I am a reporter! If you provoke me, I guarantee your name will be in the headlines of all major news media tomorrow!" the reporter threatened.
Hearing this, Qin Feng frowned and looked at the reporter, saying indifferently, "Oh, I almost forgot. In this world, there is still something called news paparazzi!"
Hearing this, the reporter's face became even uglier. This was the greatest insult to him.

"Sir, what do you mean by that? Don't you feel ashamed?"
"I don't!" Qin Feng shrugged and said.
"You... you are simply a rogue!"
"How am I a rogue? If you're not satisfied, you can go to them and let them judge!" Qin Feng pointed to Lin Guodong and the others nearby, saying with a chuckle.
...
Hearing Qin Feng's words, the reporter's face instantly turned pale. Qin Feng's attitude clearly showed he didn't care about Lin Guodong.
What kind of existence was the Lins Group? It was the premier wealthy enterprise in Jiang City.
If Qin Feng spoke disrespectfully to Lin Guodong at his birthday banquet, they wouldn't dare say anything even if they had the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard.
Besides, even if it got out, Lin Guodong would have a way to handle it. These reporters weren't fools; they naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble!
"Qin Feng, stop throwing a tantrum. You're not a Child anymore; you should know to respect your elders and love the young!" Lin Mengyao, who was nearby, spoke up to persuade him.
Although this kid Qin Feng had a big mouth, Lin Mengyao didn't want him to lose face because of it.
Chapter 173: Always Happy [Begging for Subscriptions]
"Respecting elders? I wouldn't dare claim that!" Qin Feng said coldly.
Just as Qin Feng finished speaking, a group of people walked in from outside, led by two young men who looked like sons of wealthy families.
Both were dressed in suits and leather shoes, with dazzling gold chains around their necks, looking very lavish.
The two walked to Lin Guodong's side and called out respectfully, "Grandfather!"
"Mhm, you're here. '787' Sit down quickly. I'm chatting with Qin Feng. It's perfect; you two come and join the fun," Lin Guodong said with a smile.
"Yes, we knew it was Grandfather's birthday today, so we specially rushed over to congratulate you." After the two finished speaking, they turned to Qin Feng and said with a smile, "This must be the new Chief Executive Officer of the Lins Group, right? I am the Second Young Master of the Shen family, and this is my cousin, Shen Lang."
Shen Lang?
The name flashed through Qin Feng's mind; he seemed to have some impression of it.
"Oh, hello." Qin Feng said politely.
"Hello, President Lin. This should be Chairman Qin's grandson, right? Truly, a hero comes from the youth!" Shen Lang said with an expression of surprise and praise.
Seeing Shen Lang praising Qin Feng, Lin Guodong was overjoyed. What he hoped for most was for Shen Lang's impression of his son to be as bad as possible.
Now, seeing Shen Lang full of praise for Qin Feng, he felt very happy.
"Not at all, Second Young Master Shen flatters us. I wonder if we could all have a toast together?" Lin Guodong said with a smile.
"Of course! It's my honor," Shen Lang agreed with a smile.
Both Shen Lang and Shen Lang were young masters of the Shen family. Shen Lang was the direct heir of the Shen family's first branch and one of the future leaders of the family, possessing great power within the Shen family, so he often handled many matters.
Although Shen Lang was also very pampered in the Shen family, he never had the chance to touch real power, so his position was rather awkward, and thus he was always looked down upon by the Shen family members.
And Shen Lang's father, Shen Wanpeng, was just an ordinary butler in the Shen family, with little power.
Under Shen Lang's parents, there were only these two sons. So in Shen Lang's view, Qin Feng was not worthy of sitting and drinking with them at all, and didn't even have the qualification to eat together 0 ...
He also knew that his father and Lin Guodong were close, having been friends for many years, while he and Qin Feng were only casual acquaintances, so his attitude toward Qin Feng was poor.
Now that Lin Guodong had invited him to drink together, it couldn't be better.
Thus, Shen Lang took the lead in picking up his wine glass and walked toward Qin Feng.
"Chairman Lin, this is your birthday; how could it be my turn as a junior to offer a toast?" Shen Lang said with a beaming smile.
"Haha, it's just a joke among children. Come, let's have a drink. Happy birthday to you, and may you have a great-grandson soon!" Lin Guodong laughed.
"Chairman Lin, I wish you happiness as vast as the Eastern Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountain. May you always be healthy and always happy!" Shen Lang said solemnly.
Hearing Shen Lang's blessing, Lin Guodong's face immediately showed a joyful expression, and he laughed loudly, "Thank you, Shen Lang!"
"You're welcome. I saw that you're quite old, Chairman Lin, and don't have a girlfriend, so I'm congratulating you. Please don't take it to heart!" Shen Lang said solemnly.
Chapter 174: Since That's the Case [Begging for Subscriptions]
"Haha, good. Since that's the case, let's toast!" Lin Guodong raised his glass and drained it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Lin Mengyao quickly walked to Qin Feng's side and said, "Qin Feng, stop messing around. Go and wish my grandfather a happy birthday!"
Looking at Lin Mengyao's coquettish manner, Qin Feng shrugged helplessly: "Alright, I'll reluctantly cooperate!"
Looking at Qin Feng's performance, Lin Guodong felt a sense of disdain in his heart: "Hmph! Still pretending!"
Lin Mengyao took Qin Feng's hand and said, "Qin Feng, my grandfather likes young men like you the most. Just accompany my grandfather in drinking!"
"Ooh, such a good opportunity, how could I miss it!" Qin Feng said with a grin.
Subsequently, Qin Feng and Lin Guodong clinked glasses, and both drained the wine in their glasses.
Seeing Qin Feng's actions, Shen Lang and Shen Lang's other followers were all filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Especially Shen Lang; the anger in his heart was like a towering blaze.
"This stinky kid, isn't he just relying on being the grandson of the company chairman to look down on everyone? I must teach him a lesson later!".
"Come, Mengyao, come with me!" Lin Guodong said with a smile.
"Grandfather..."
"Go ahead, don't worry about Grandfather. We have Shen Lang to keep us company here. Go and take care of your own business," Lin Guodong patted Lin Mengyao's shoulder and said with a smile.
Lin Mengyao glanced at Shen Lang and nodded.
"Alright!"
"Uncle Lin, we won't disturb you and Chairman Qin Feng while you're drinking. Please excuse us," Shen Lang stood up and said with a smile.
Saying that, Shen Lang walked to a nearby table, picked up a plate of fruit, and headed toward the kitchen.
Shen Lang's status was extraordinary, holding a transcendent position in the Shen family. Even Shen Lang's father treated Shen Lang with great respect, so he was used to acting overbearingly at home.
After Shen Lang left, Lin Guodong started chatting with Qin Feng about family matters.
Lin Guodong's parents had passed away early, leaving him as a lonely old man. Thus, Lin Guodong had depended on Lin Mengyao since childhood. To Lin Guodong, Lin Mengyao was like his sister, so he loved her dearly.
