Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Gao Feng’s Arrival_1
Su Yueru’s heart jolted when she saw everyone pulling out their gifts.
They had arrived in a hurry and had only bought a bouquet of flowers at the restaurant entrance; they hadn’t brought any gifts!
As several valuable gifts were placed before Old Huang, the old man’s face lit up with joy.
When it came to Ma Mingyang’s turn, everyone craned their necks in anticipation.
This Ma Mingyang was the son of a rich man and had been in business for years, so the gift he would present was bound to be extraordinary!
Sure enough, as Ma Mingyang produced his gift, everyone’s eyes widened with value.
Ma Mingyang said with a smile, "Teacher, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please don’t disdain it!"
"This is a piece of ’Phoenix and Dragon’ tea brick, please accept it."
Hiss...
Upon hearing that it was a ’Phoenix and Dragon’ tea brick, everyone inhaled sharply.
This thing had a market price of 130,000 yuan and was not readily available!
Was it common to give the teacher gifts worth tens of thousands?
That was really bold!
For a moment, everyone’s faces couldn’t hide their discomfort.
Old Huang’s expression shifted as he looked at the tea brick.
He knew this youngster’s intention was not merely to present a gift, but to outshine the others.
Well, why not accept what’s freely given?
Old Huang laughed heartily, "You little rascal, such a generous gift, I’ll take it then!"
He placed the tea brick among the pile of gifts, seemingly without much ceremony.
Ma Mingyang’s face changed upon seeing this, but he didn’t seem to care and still wore a proud flush on his face.
After all, he had already earned enough face in front of his classmates.
Suddenly, he saw Ye Fei holding only a bouquet of flowers, nothing else in hand.
"Ye Fei, what did you bring for Teacher Huang? It’s not just a bunch of flowers, is it?"
People came back to their senses and turned to look at Ye Fei, all of them taken aback.
"Well, really pushing the shamelessness to the limit, just bringing flowers," someone muttered under their breath.
Another chimed in, "Didn’t Ye Fei know? If he had any shame, how could he have wooed Su Yueru? And he still has the nerve to become a live-in son-in-law for the Su Family?"
"Ugh, that’s disgusting, how did I end up in the same class with such a person, bad luck."
The murmurs weren’t loud, but Su Yueru heard them clearly, stinging her ears.
Su Yueru’s face flushed with anger immediately, but she was helpless since they truly had not brought anything.
Yet Ye Fei didn’t care at all, and smiling, handed the flowers to Old Huang, "Teacher, I was in a rush. I’ll make up for the gift later."
Old Huang didn’t seem to mind and laughed, "Fine, a gift isn’t about being expensive or cheap, it’s the thought that counts."
As soon as these words came out, the people who had prepared gifts felt uncomfortable.
Now they looked foolish for their efforts.
Ma Mingyang sneered and said to Ye Fei, "If you didn’t bring a gift, you didn’t bring one. What do you mean you’ll make up for it later?"
"With the way you are, what kind of gift can you make up to the teacher? You must be joking?"
Someone cursed, "Shameless, isn’t he? After today, we all go our separate ways; is he going to come see the teacher?"
"Ye Fei, I think you should at least have prepared a gift. To put it mildly, not bringing a gift is rude, but to put it more seriously... it shows a lack of respect for the teacher," another added.
"Exactly, Ye Fei, why did you even come here? You’ve lost face for our entire class!"
Criticisms bombarded him, sparing no feelings.
Su Yueru became anxious, "Ye Fei said he would make up for the gift, so he definitely will. What are you doubting?"
Seeing Su Yueru getting worked up, several gossiping girls immediately said, "Why so anxious? Birds of a feather flock together, after all."
"Indeed, I was wondering how you ended up with Ye Fei, but it turns out it’s because you share the same stench."
Su Yueru couldn’t stand others insulting Ye Fei, and her face turned even redder.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the banquet hall.
A group of well-dressed men quickly entered.
The person in the lead.
Was Gao Feng.
As soon as Gao Feng appeared, he immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
There were quite a few business people present, and who didn’t recognize this famous tycoon from Canglang Province?
"Mr. Gao?"
Ma Mingyang immediately greeted him, surprised to see this bigwig here.
Gao Feng seemed in a hurry. Glancing at Ma Mingyang, he asked, "You are...?"
"I’m Ma Mingyang. My dad works for your company..."
"Oh, oh, Little Ma, I remember," Gao Feng said dismissively, "I’m looking for someone; please excuse me."
Ma Mingyang, beaming with joy, said, "Who are you looking for, Mr. Gao? Let me help you!"
In an instant, everyone crowded around, raising their glasses high.
Recognizing this prominent businessman, who wouldn’t want to make a familiar face?
Considering the news about Yueru Medical Hall that had spread, everyone wanted a piece of the leftovers!
Gao Feng, growing more impatient, called out, "Is Mr. Ye here?"
Mr. Ye?
Upon hearing this name, everyone froze.
There was only one person with the surname Ye present—Ye Fei!
Could it be that he came for Ye Fei?
How could that be possible?
Gao Feng, annoyed by the crowd, quickly pushed through and, spotting Ye Fei from a distance, hurried over.
"Mr. Ye, there’s been an incident."
Ye Fei replied, "Don’t worry, tell me slowly."
Gao Feng, anxious, said, "The Pharmaceutical Association’s people have come knocking, saying we aren’t practicing science-based medicine and want to revoke our business license..."
Ye Fei understood and then told Gao Feng to calm down.
Since he had already met Old Huang, he decided it was time to go back and deal with the issue.
However, the ordinary exchange between Gao Feng and Ye Fei had a groundbreaking impact on the onlookers.
He really was here for Ye Fei!
