Chapter 1115: Chapter 1114: Rose Appreciation Contest

Ling Feng originally didn’t want to attend the meeting between Yun Hanrui and the research team, but Yun Hanrui insisted on pulling him along. In Yun Hanrui’s view, their relationship with Ling Feng should gradually become public, starting with her own company! After all, Ling Feng is also the second shareholder of the group, and he should attend both professionally and personally.

In the banquet hall, Ling Feng and Yun Hanrui met the research team that had arrived earlier. After Yun Hanrui introduced Ling Feng’s identity to everyone, she began discussing the details about tomorrow’s meeting with the main researchers.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, sat idly in a corner, eating a lot. After a fierce battle during the day and not eating anything during the journey, combined with exercise before the meal, Ling Feng was indeed feeling hungry.

"Why is President Ling eating alone here?" Chen Jiakang approached with a smile as Ling Feng was eating the western food, "Do you find the food here to your liking?"

Ling Feng put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "I’ve gotten used to Huaxia cuisine, so eating western food feels a bit bland! But you can’t expect too much from the Americans; as long as it fills the stomach, that’s enough!"

Chen Jiakang laughed, "Compared to Huaxia cuisine, western food is indeed far inferior. Huaxia’s eight major culinary styles are profound and far beyond what these foreigners can aspire to; they’re part of the heritage left by our ancestors!"

"Indeed, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own dog’s nest, not to mention Huaxia is inherently a golden nest and a silver nest!" Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Director Chen, have you ever thought about returning home to develop your career? I think with your capabilities and track record, even domestically, your prospects would be no less than here."

Chen Jiakang smiled gently, "Being able to return home is surely the best, but President Yun has entrusted me with the crucial task of expanding the American market; I must live up to President Yun’s trust. When the mission is accomplished, returning home would naturally be the best outcome!"

"Mission accomplished?" Ling Feng patted Chen Jiakang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Rui has told me that you’re an invaluable talent to her, achievement can be accomplished, but quitting is not an option! In the future, the Chaoyang Group will become stronger and Director Chen, your responsibilities will only increase!"

Chen Jiakang laughed, "Then I can only give it my all till I perish!"

Saying so, they exchanged glances and laughed together.

"Director Chen, what I want to tell you is, you have made an indelible contribution to the company’s development. You are our Chaoyang Group’s meritorious official, no matter what difficulties or problems you encounter in the future, we at Chaoyang Group will stand behind you as your most solid support!" Ling Feng looked at Chen Jiakang and said calmly.

Chen Jiakang was taken aback, observing Ling Feng’s eyes closely, he found genuine sincerity but seemed to have some implicit meaning!

He was unsure of the meaning behind Ling Feng’s words, whether it was pure sentiment or if Ling Feng had seen through his inner thoughts... If it was the latter, then that would be terrifying!

"Thank you very much, President Ling!" Chen Jiakang said, a smile of gratitude appearing on his face.

"Oh, by the way, Director Chen, is there any place worth visiting around here?" Ling Feng asked.

Chen Jiakang replied, puzzled, "I’m not sure what President Ling means by places worth visiting..."

"Ahem, I mean a good place for couples to date!" Ling Feng coughed, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Chen Jiakang showed an understanding expression; it seemed President Ling wanted to give President Yun a little surprise.

Since Yun Hanrui had reached out to him during his most difficult time, which was akin to saving him from Hell, Chen Jiakang felt grateful towards Yun Hanrui. He would always volunteer to pick her up whenever she came to America!

This time, realizing that President Yun was spoken for, on one hand he felt happy, but on the other hand a bit worried! However, now it seemed that as long as Ling Feng genuinely treated Yun Hanrui well, he would be incredibly happy!

"If you’re looking for the best place for couples to date, then naturally it’s Rose Street nearby!" Chen Jiakang said, "Rose Street was designed for young people with fashion and romantic sweetness; it’s tailored for young couples! Aside from Rose Street... Rose Manor Hotel is also one of the favorite places for couples."

"Is there anything special about it?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

Chen Jiakang smiled faintly, "Of course, the Rose Manor Hotel has a globally renowned Rose Garden, which is a well-known fact. But what many don’t know is that every week, the Rose Manor Hotel hosts a rose appreciation contest. They select the most beautiful rose from the garden and call it the Rose Queen!"

"After selecting the Rose Queen, the hotel hosts a couple’s competition. The Rose Queen is given by the hotel to the winning couple, along with a pair of uniquely crafted diamond rings by jewelry masters!" Chen Jiakang explained, "This event has become popular among many couples, though few manage to pass the test!"

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up; he didn’t expect the Rose Manor Hotel to have such a program. It sounded quite interesting!

"When does this event take place?" Ling Feng asked eagerly.

Chen Jiakang replied, "Coincidentally, today is this week’s rose appreciation contest, held at 9:30 this evening on the lawn in front of Rose Manor; it will be surely bustling!"

Ling Feng clapped his hands, "That’s great, Director Chen, thanks a lot!"

Chen Jiakang laughed, "It’s nothing really, everyone here knows this rose appreciation contest is a signature event, even some notable figures might show up to see!"

"The Rose Queen, huh." Ling Feng felt a surge of excitement; if Xiao Rui could get the Rose Queen, she would surely be very happy!

Shortly, Yun Hanrui finished discussing with the research team’s leader and came over to Ling Feng’s side.

"Xiao Rui, there’s a really interesting event here tonight!" Ling Feng said, and then informed Yun Hanrui about the rose appreciation contest, "Shouldn’t we join in too?"

Yun Hanrui’s eyes lit up too, "Really? That’s great! We must participate, and you must win the Rose Queen!"

Ling Feng rubbed his chin and said, "It requires cooperation between couples, but I think if we participate, winning the Rose Queen is not even a question, you can rest assured!"

"The Rose Queen!" Yun Hanrui’s eyes shined with excitement, "I can’t wait! Once we get the Rose Queen, Ting Yu and the others will definitely be envious, hahaha..."

Ling Feng shivered, as he seemed to sense several resentful gazes crossing the ocean towards him!
