And now, because the Feng Corporation had taken back TMing and received a billion dollars of funding, they had successfully begun to implement the several key projects that had been shelved. Many people in the circle were optimistic about it. Now that the Feng Corporation had rich funds, the company’s market value had doubled. It had almost become a dark horse in the circle, and everyone was optimistic about it.
Thus, the look in their eyes changed.
Especially those single men. They found out that although the Feng Corporation was under Qin Shuke’s management, Feng Ling was still the legal heir of the Feng family. Qin Shuke was also a golden single woman now. These two women were still unmarried and should be single. They had long been itching to hook up with the two of them.
“Back then, those financing and shelved projects were all prepared when you were still around. In the end, when the company finally began to make a name for itself, you left. Don’t think that just by placing all the credit on me, everything will be fine. Look at this group of people. Their eyes are all very sharp. With one look, they know that you have the entire Feng family behind you. Right now, the two of us are two fat pieces of meat in their eyes,” Qin Shuke said to Feng Ling in a low voice as she walked.
Feng Ling smiled lightly. “I’m about to leave this circle. How much more fat can I have?”
“That’s not the same. As long as you don’t get married, as long as you don’t announce to the world who your man is, these people won’t give up,” Qin Shuke said as she leaned close to her ear. “Back then, there were some rumors between you and Li Nanheng that reached these people’s ears, right? But after so long, they didn’t see any ripples. They only thought that the two of you had a love affair and had already broken up. Now, these people are still saying that they want to go to the Feng family to be their live-in son-in-law.”
Feng Ling raised her brows slightly. “Is that so?”
Seeing her calm expression, Qin Shuke knew that every time she told her all sorts of gossip, the topic would always be cut off. She felt bored and waved her hand. “Forget it, forget it. What does it matter if you announce it to the world? Anyway, he’s the only one in your heart from beginning to end. You won’t even look at the other men. Why am I worrying here?”
At this moment, someone came over to greet her. Qin Shuke blocked her as usual and personally went up to clink glasses with someone, leaving Feng Ling alone to enjoy the peace.
Feng Ling turned around with the glass in her hand. From the corner of her eyes, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
As expected, the moment the tall, mixed-blood man saw her, he did not hesitate to turn around and walk over.
“Miss Feng.” When the man walked over, there was some surprise in his eyes. He clearly didn’t expect to meet her here. He then looked at her side and didn’t see any male companions or friends. He asked in surprise, “You’re alone?”
Feng Ling nodded. “Mr. Ian.”
The last time they met was a few years ago in England. This man named Ian had decorated the rooftop of his bank building with roses and a candlelit dinner. In the end, the romantic scene was destroyed by Li Nanheng’s helicopter. Although she had clearly rejected him, before she was taken away from England, she really didn’t give him a proper explanation. Meeting him here suddenly made Feng Ling somewhat embarrassed.
In particular, back then, Li Nanheng had taken her away as though he was snatching a villain girl. Mr. Ian had personally witnessed that scene.
“My cousin came with me.” Feng Ling glanced at Qin Shuke, who was dealing with the others behind her.
Mr. Ian took a glance in that direction and then looked at Feng Ling. He smiled. “It’s been a few years since we last met, but you’re still so beautiful. Your hair has grown much longer. Now it’s really long enough to reach your waist. I heard from Ji Nuan that when you were in your teens, you were used to having short hair.”
Feng Ling did not respond directly and only smiled. “It was when I was young.”
The conversation had just begun. Qin Shuke had already keenly sensed that there was a man trying to strike up a conversation with Feng Ling. She responded to the man in front of her with a few words, turned around, and rushed over. She stepped forward to pull Feng Ling’s arm, but she saw that there was a smile on Feng Ling’s face. It seemed like they knew each other.
Qin Shuke glanced at Mr. Ian and asked Feng Ling, “Who is this man?”
“Mr. Zand’s younger brother, Ian. We met when I was studying in England. He was the deputy president of the London Bank. I’m not sure if he has become more powerful. It’s been many years since we last met. I don’t know much about him,” Feng Ling answered softly.
After understanding the situation, Qin Shuke took another look at him and whispered, “This Mr. Ian likes you.”
Feng Ling :”…”
After so many years, they only greeted each other politely.
Could Qin Shuke see it so easily? Why couldn’t she see the emotions in his eyes?
“Am I right?”
“…In the past, he did have some thoughts about me, but he’s fine. He won’t pester me. We only reunited.”
Hearing this, Qin Shuke finally gave up on trying to send him away. She nodded. “All right, then take your time to catch up. I’ll go talk to those two brats for a while.”
“Talk about what?” Feng Ling was surprised.
“Those two shameless people are secretly speaking dirty to me. If I don’t scold them until they are speechless, I, Qin Shuke, will write my name backwards.” After speaking, Qin Shuke finished the remaining wine in her glass, put down the glass, and turned to walk back.
Feng Ling turned back to look at her. Seeing that there were people here and there shouldn’t be any problems, she finally looked away.
Mr. Ian approached. When he saw that Feng Ling’s expression was somewhat dazed, his gaze became much warmer. “How have you been in the past few years since you returned to America?”
Feng Ling did not reject the way old friends reminisced. She nodded frankly. “Not bad. I didn’t have the time to say goodbye to you when I left England. I’m really sorry.”
“Haha, at least I watched you leave,” Ian said and glanced behind her. “Only your cousin came with you? Where’s… Mr. Li?”
Feng Ling glanced at him. “He…”
Seeing that Feng Ling didn’t seem to know how to explain why Li Nanheng didn’t come with her, Ian directly cut her off with a gentle smile. “Look at what I’m saying. It’s not very appropriate. Young people, it’s very normal to have different feelings.”
Feng Ling: “?”
Did it mean that she seemed to have broken up with Li Nanheng?
Or could it be that he had heard some gossip in the New York business circle and thought that she and Qin Shuke were the golden single women in their mouths?
