Chapter 224: My Feelings for You Will Only Grow Deeper (Part 2/2)

“It’s getting late! Shouldn’t we go to rest?” Tang Feng stretched out his finger and gently brushed the other’s nose.

“Okay!” Su Xiaoli nodded.

Then, Tang Feng directly picked her up.

And then he took her back to the room.

Tang Feng kissed her forehead, said goodnight, and then turned and left.

Su Xiaoli watched his back, biting her lip, unsure what she was thinking.

At that moment, she wanted Tang Feng to stay.

But ultimately, reason overcame impulse.

She still thought about waiting until after the wedding ceremony to give herself to Tang Feng!

In the following days, Tang Feng would leave for the research center before seven in the morning every day.

Because of his presence, the project progressed very rapidly!

Many data points, as long as he took a glance, he could directly give out the results!

This left his colleagues at the research center in utter shock!

It had to be said, Tang Feng was truly a genius among geniuses!

If learning ability were divided into levels, Tang Feng would definitely be at the highest level!

And he was the only one!

The rest of the geniuses paled in comparison to Tang Feng!

Also, because of Tang Feng’s presence, everyone was full of confidence in the project!

Originally, before Tang Feng’s arrival, the project’s progress was quite slow!

It had even stalled at one point.

Everyone faced a pile of data every day without any clue!

Since Tang Feng appeared, no matter what kind of problem was encountered, it could be solved easily!

Many colleagues regarded Tang Feng as a deity!

A few younger female colleagues would occasionally ask Tang Feng for advice!

It was clear their interest was not solely professional.

Tang Feng was a smart man!

When helping colleagues with their problems, he deliberately kept a distance!

Thus, these female colleagues were well aware.

“Does director Tang not like women? I feel like he seems uninterested in women. Since he came to the research center, it seems like he hasn’t seriously looked at me once!”

“Could be! I consider myself to have a decent figure and looks! And there are many guys chasing after me! But director Tang hasn’t looked at me either!”

“What are you talking nonsense about here! Not only does director Tang have a girlfriend, but she’s also his childhood sweetheart!”

“Really?”

“Of course! If you don’t believe it, you can ask around at Jingcheng University! His girlfriend is a student in the finance department there! And she’s very beautiful!”

“My best friend is in that department! I’ll call her right now to confirm!”

Soon, the call went through.

“Xiaoling, I want to ask you something! We have a new chief designer named Tang Feng here, and it’s said his girlfriend is from your department. Is that true?”

“What? Can you repeat that?” The tone on the other end shot up an octave.

“I said Tang Feng.”

“The Tang Feng you’re talking about, is he the head of the mathematics department at our school?”

“Head of the department? Are you mistaken? The Tang Feng I’m talking about is young, at most twenty years old.”

“With what you’re saying, I’m even more certain, the Tang Feng you’re talking about is indeed the head of the mathematics department at our school!”

“A twenty-year-old head of the mathematics department? You’re not joking, right?”

“I’m telling the truth! His girlfriend is Su Xiaoli, indeed from our department!”

“Is that Su Xiaoli very beautiful?”

“More than beautiful! She’s the school belle of our university! I can’t describe it over the phone, but when you see her in person, you’ll know I’m telling the truth!”

“Alright. I thought this news was fake, but it turns out to be true.”

“You just said Tang Feng is now the chief designer at your research center. Has he resigned from the mathematics department at Jingcheng University? This is really shocking news! No wonder I felt like I haven’t seen him around for a while!”

“I’m not sure what’s going on! Don’t speculate! I’ll hang up now, we’ll catch up over a meal when I’m free!”

The call ended.

“See! I told you he really has a girlfriend!”

“No wonder he never looks at us! His girlfriend is on the level of a school belle!”

“That’s not the point. If it was just about being beautiful, Tang Feng wouldn’t value her so much! As far as I know, Tang Feng and his girlfriend have grown up together, they are truly childhood sweethearts!”

“Ah, riding a bamboo horse around the bed, playing with green plums! My God! That’s too romantic!”

“Alright! Let’s not discuss this anymore! Anyway, Tang Feng’s heart only has room for his girlfriend! We definitely don’t stand a chance!”

While they were discussing fervently, Tang Feng walked in.

“I’ll treat everyone to lunch,” Tang Feng announced.

“Director Tang, is today a special day?” one colleague asked.

“These past few days, everyone has been working hard and hasn’t had a good meal! I want to improve the food for everyone,” Tang Feng replied.

“Director Tang, what are we eating for lunch?” another colleague asked.

“I feel like the weather is a bit cold today. How about we have hotpot?” Tang Feng suggested!

“That’s great! It’s quick to eat! It won’t take too much time!”

“Which hotpot restaurant is good?” Tang Feng continued to ask.

“Dong Lai Shun.”

“Dong Lai Shun’s hotpot is indeed good! But the price isn’t cheap! To eat well, it’s at least two hundred per person.”

“Professor Zhang, how many people do we have in the research center in total?” Tang Feng asked.

“Seventy-three,” Zhang Liang answered.

“Can Dong Lai Shun accommodate so many guests?” Tang Feng continued to ask.

“It should be about right.”

“Who has Dong Lai Shun’s contact? Hurry up and make a call to ask.”

“I have!” A female colleague stood up.

Soon, the female colleague got the information.

“Director Tang, Dong Lai Shun can accommodate so many people dining at the same time. When shall we go?”

“Let’s go now!”

Then, a large group of people set off for Dong Lai Shun!

The waiters at Dong Lai Shun, seeing so many customers coming to dine, quickly got busy.

Soon, the entire hall was packed.

“Ladies and gentlemen, order whatever you want! Don’t be polite with me!” Tang Feng smiled.

“Director Tang is mighty!” the colleagues shouted!

“Director Tang, we still have work this afternoon, let’s not drink alcohol!” Zhang Liang negotiated with him.

“Okay!” Tang Feng nodded and agreed.

Soon, various ingredients for the hotpot were served!

Tang Feng checked these ingredients.

It had to be said, the ingredients were really fresh!

And the variety was indeed diverse!

Just the lamb alone, according to different parts, had as many as fifteen varieties!

“Mr. Tang! Hello! I am the owner of this hotpot restaurant!” A man in his forties approached Tang Feng.

“Hello!” Tang Feng stood up.

“Mr. Tang, I often see you on TV! I just never imagined you would come to my hotpot restaurant!”

“Is that so? I heard from my colleagues that your hotpot restaurant is the best in Beijing, so I specifically came to try it,” Tang Feng smiled.

“Mr. Tang, I have a favor to ask, I hope you can oblige,” the owner said.

“Tell me.”

“I would like you to write a few words for our restaurant! As for the fee, just name your price!” the owner expressed his request.

“What words do you want me to write?” Tang Feng smiled and asked.

“Dong Lai Shun,” the owner answered.

“Okay! No problem!” Tang Feng agreed very readily.

“Thank you very much! You guys go ahead and eat! We’ll talk after you’re done!” The owner bowed to Tang Feng and then turned and left.
