Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Situation

"Let’s not talk about that anymore, those are all old stories!" Possibly sensing Ling Feng’s disappointment, Yun Yang changed the subject and said, "How are things going with you and Xiao Rui?"

"What?" Ling Feng was so startled he nearly yanked the steering wheel off: "What do you mean ’how are things going’?"

Yun Yang explained, "Of course, I’m talking about the feelings between you two. Xiao Rui might be your fiancée, but you two have been estranged for fifteen years. Communicate more; you both are young people, isn’t this something you should know without me having to tell you?"

"Uncle Yun!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile, "Like you said, we’ve been estranged for fifteen years, there’s really no affection between us anymore! Although you and my father had an arrangement, I still think it’s better if Xiao Rui and I just remain ordinary friends!"

"Feelings can be cultivated!" Yun Yang said with nonchalance: "How many young people nowadays can be like we were back then, with ideals, aspirations, the ability to endure hardship, and to dedicate themselves? Honestly, if I let Xiao Rui find her own love, I, as her father, really wouldn’t be at ease! Not to mention anything else, just take her so-called Brother Lin; I’ve never felt that he was any good, on the contrary, there’s something very uncomfortable about him!"

Ling Feng greatly approved in his heart. Although Uncle Yun didn’t possess formidable strength, his world-wise eyes still managed to sense Lin Zhijie’s anomalies, which was enough to impress Ling Feng.

"Don’t you give me excuses! Xiao Rui is my most treasured possession, even Chaoyang Biotechnology can’t compare!" Saying this, Yun Yang’s face showed a trace of a father’s affection: "If I find out you’ve made Xiao Rui sad, I’ll spank your bottom for sure!"

Ling Feng instantly felt a tightening in his rear: "Don’t worry, Uncle Yun! Xiao Rui and I grew up together like childhood sweethearts, even if we are just ordinary friends, we should still take care of each other, right? If Xiao Rui encounters any difficulties, I will naturally help without hesitation!"

Yun Yang nodded slightly, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He originally wanted to test Ling Feng’s attitude, but he did not expect to get such a promise from Ling Feng! From Ling Feng’s confident words, Yun Yang could clearly sense that he had no awe for the CEO identity of Yun Hanrui; it seemed as if the CEO status meant nothing to him!

Yun Yang, now a sharp individual, also understood that only those in higher positions could speak so casually to those below them. This wasn’t derogatory, but rather a habit of dealing with things!

"Alright, I’ll remember your words!" Though surprised, Yun Yang didn’t show it and instead spoke cheerfully.

The car took a turn, and there was less than five minutes to go. But at that moment, there was a traffic jam!

It wasn’t rush hour, so why would there be a traffic jam?

After crawling about two hundred meters through the slow-moving traffic, Ling Feng and his companion finally found the cause.

There, by the side of the road, an elderly farmer over fifty had collapsed on the ground. The passing cars carefully detoured around him, fearing touching and thereby inviting trouble, so the traffic had slowed.

Yun Yang saw this too and said in a grave voice, "Xiao Feng, get out and see what’s wrong with this old man."

Ling Feng parked the car on the side of the road and approached the old farmer. The farmer’s complexion was ashen, his breathing hurried. Despite the warm weather, the temperature was still low, and the farmer only wore a threadbare coat.

As Ling Feng was just about to squat down, a passerby kindly warned, "Young man, be careful not to meddle. If you get falsely accused, it’ll be too late."

Ling Feng was stunned, "Falsely accused? What does that mean?"

Ling Feng, having just returned to the country, wasn’t aware of the reason behind this, but what he knew was that the old farmer wasn’t trying to swindle anyone; he truly had fainted.

"Uncle Yun, this person has fainted, shall we call an ambulance?" Ling Feng asked.

Yun Yang said, "With the weather so cold, we’d better take him to the hospital ourselves. That way he can get treated promptly."

"But aren’t you supposed to attend the seminar?" Ling Feng said with confusion, "Won’t this make you late?"

"It’s just a seminar, how can it compare with a life? Hurry up!"

"Okay!"

Under the sympathetic gazes of passersby, Ling Feng carried the fainting farmer to the car and rushed to the nearest hospital.

After getting to the hospital, paying the fee, and registering, Ling Feng immediately took Yun Yang to his destination without a moment’s delay.

The seminar was jointly hosted by Yanjing University and other higher education institutions in Yanjing and had invited a group of renowned biologists from both domestic and international communities aimed at promoting academic exchange, broadening students’ horizons, and advancing the development of biology.

When the time for the meeting arrived, seven professors and three hundred elite biology students were already prepared.

"How come Professor Yunyang hasn’t arrived yet?" an organizer from Yanjing University asked anxiously, "Have you called Professor Yunyang?"

"I just did, Professor Yunyang ran into some trouble on the way and might be a bit late!" the seminar host said somewhat apologetically.

The organizer checked the time, "It’s almost time; I really hope the professor can make it in time."

"What’s going on? Where is Yunyang? Wasn’t this seminar supposed to have Yunyang’s participation? Where is he?" a Fusang expert said haughtily.

"Professor Yun is on the road, there’s a bit of a traffic jam at this hour, so..."

"Hmph, you Huaxia people have no sense of time!" the Fusang expert said disdainfully, "An expert who cannot be punctual and trustworthy, in my view, doesn’t amount to much! Perhaps he’s just afraid, so he made up an excuse not to come, right?"

This Fusang expert was also somewhat famous internationally, and although the host was angry at his remarks, he couldn’t refute them strongly and could only speak softly, "Professor Yun is one of our most distinguished biologists, he is definitely not that kind of person!"

"Hmph, I only accepted your invitation because I heard Yunyang was coming! Otherwise, why would I attend such a shabby meeting?" the Fusang expert spoke disdainfully.

Since he did not bother to lower his voice, his words clearly reached the ears of every student through the microphone!

"What is this Fusang person playing at? I really want to punch that face of his!"

"Exactly, just because he’s published a few articles in the International Journal of Biology, he thinks he can act all superior!"

"Who even invited this idiot?"

"But he’s not wrong, is he? The time is almost up, and Professor Yun hasn’t arrived yet. Being late is inexcusable! After all, Fusang people value keeping promises the most!"

"Are you an idiot? Are you even Huaxia? This isn’t about keeping time, it’s that this guy simply looks down on us Huaxia people!"

Over three hundred students, truly at the age of vigorous Blood Qi, were indignant upon hearing the Fusang expert’s arrogant words!
