85 Luo Feng, To Be Observed
In this era, mobile phones were not touch-controlled big screens. The buttons alone took up more than half of the screen. The screen was not very big and was even a little small for someone Ai Zhaojiang’s age.
He put on his reading glasses and focused on the display. He still felt a little blurry and couldn’t see what Luo Feng looked like.
Professor Jing turned the volume up to the maximum.
The conversation between Luo Feng and the reporter sounded in the courtyard.
The more he listened, the uglier Ai Zhaojiang’s expression became.
This kid’s tongue was sharp and was not humble at all. He was far from what he had imagined!
“What does this Luo Feng’s family do?” Ai Zhaojiang asked.
“An ordinary family.”
“Hmph!” Ai Zhaojiang blew at his beard in disdain. “You glib-tongued brat. How can such a family be worthy of my granddaughter!”
He wouldn’t think that Luo Feng looked so awesome in front of the camera. Ai Zhaojiang had seen at least 800 top scholars after all. In the past, he wouldn’t bring anyone who wasn’t the top scholar when he was involved in academics.
And in his opinion, Luo Feng’s family was too ordinary, so there was no need to bother about him. It wasn’t that Ai Chaojiang looked down on poor students, but he just wanted to give his granddaughter the best.
When Professor Jing heard this, he stood up for Luo Feng and said, “Don’t despise him. Your granddaughter was still an orphan with no background before this. Luo Feng simply likes her. If Ai Tingya really grew up by your side, who knows how many people with impure motives she would meet.”
Ai Zhaojiang thought about it and agreed, but he still did not show mercy.
“As her grandfather, I have to observe him carefully!”
Professor Jing continued, “I wouldn’t if I were you. Before I came to look for you, I understood that Ai Tingya didn’t have a good life in the past. She only became cheerful after meeting Luo Feng and even took the initiative to confess to Luo Feng in front of the entire school. Luo Feng did what he said, to become the top scholar of the college entrance examination, I think this young man is quite good.”
“Hmph!” Ai Zhaojiang still did not want to admit it.
His biological granddaughter had not even stayed by his side for a few years before she was snatched away by someone else.
“Old Ai, you should be more tactful. Your granddaughter really likes Luo Feng after all, and I heard that the two of them even opened a milk tea shop together!”
Professor Jing pulled the video progress bar to the back, which happened to be the segment where Luo Feng advertised after all.
“Hahahaha!” He still found it funny no matter how many times he looked at it. “Look at how smart this kid is. He even dares to ride on the popularity of the provincial station.”
Ai Zhaojiang couldn’t pull his face down, so he only opened his eyes slightly to take a look. He had no objections to Luo Feng himself, but he couldn’t stand it when he thought about how Luo Feng was his granddaughter’s boyfriend.
Since Professor Jing dragged Luo Feng to his school, he will definitely help him if he can. He thinks highly of Luo Feng after all.
“Old Ai, don’t be so wilful. Think about it carefully. Your granddaughter has been wandering outside for 18 years. You haven’t been with her as long as Luo Feng has. Do you think she can accept it immediately? You will still need Luo Feng to put in a good word for you, right?” Professor Jing chuckled.
Ai Zhaojiang blushed and could only look away stubbornly.
He actually felt that Professor Jing was right. He actually had to build a good relationship with the kid who snatched his granddaughter!
“Hmph, in your dreams. I want to test that kid first. I hope he won’t disappoint me. Otherwise, I won’t hand my granddaughter over to him!” This was Ai Zhaojiang’s final stubbornness!
“Alright, alright. Take your time to think about it. I’ll leave first.” Professor Jing poured a cup of tea and patted his butt after drinking it.
“Wait…” Ai Chaojiang stopped him. He tilted his face and did not speak for a long time.
Professor Jing asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Ai Zhaojiang slowly said after enduring for a long time. “That video… Give me a copy too…”
Professor Jing was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, “Why are you so awkward? I don’t know how to do it either. I’ll get my student to burn it into a disc and send it to you later.”
“Hurry up,” Ai Zhaojiang said.
“Just you wait.” Professor Jing waved his hand.
The door was pushed open and closed. The courtyard house regained its peace. Ai Chaojiang let out a long sigh. He stopped drinking tea and basking in the sun. He stared blankly beside him for a moment.
He was old and could barely remember the time that had passed. This Osmanthus Fragrans tree had been planted by his son when he left home. It was already as tall as a pavilion.
Every autumn, the yellow osmanthus trees emitted a delicate fragrance, making his heart ache.
“It’s been 18 years.” Ai Chaojiang’s eyes were filled with tears. “You’re already 18 years old, but Grandpa hasn’t seen you yet.”
…
Good Me Milk Tea Shop in Crown City.
Luo Feng handed the last cup of milk tea to the customer. Lei Jin said respectfully, “Take care, welcome again next time!”
Xiao Fei quickly hung up the “Closed” sign.
A young female customer had already stepped into the shop before the new customers could arrive. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the sign. “It’s so early, and you’re closing?”
Luo Feng was so tired that his back was aching. He forced himself to explain, “Business was too good today, so we ran out of raw materials.”
The female customer slapped her boyfriend beside her and complained, “I told you to come early, but you insisted that there were too many people and you didn’t want to queue. Look, everything is sold out!”
Her boyfriend was also very innocent. How could he have expected this outcome? He curled up into a ball and did not dare to speak.
Luo Feng took a voucher and handed it to the female customer, “I’m sorry, we didn’t expect business to be so good today and didn’t prepare enough materials. I’ll give you a coupon. Our ingredients will be in place tomorrow morning.”
“Really!” The female customer happily took the coupon. “Then I’ll come again tomorrow. Thank you.”
After sending the two guests off, Luo Feng could finally sit down and rest.
Everyone was exhausted and sprawled on the table, unable to speak.
“I feel like I’m going to see my father…” Lei Jin lay on the table and said weakly.
“What did Uncle Lei say?” Luo Feng asked.
“He told me not to choose an advertising major. Otherwise, I’ll be an easy target to be complained about fake publicity.”
“Uncle Lei is right, but things will definitely go smoothly if you’re in the media industry.” Luo Feng laughed it off.
Their milk tea shop welcomed two peak sales just because of a few words from Lei Jin. If business could be so good every day… Forget it, it was too tiring.
“Everyone has worked hard today. The ingredients will arrive tomorrow morning. Xiao Fei, remember to remind your friends who are changing shifts” Luo Feng arranged.
“Okay!” Everyone replied weakly.
He looked back at the cash register, which was about to burst with money, and said, “Do you want to count the money today?”
“No!” Everyone said in unison. “We’re so tired. Please, let’s continue tomorrow instead.”
