Chapter 148 Celebration
Ning Yao's eyes trembled slightly when he heard this. He raised his head involuntarily and looked at his father in shock.
"Your Grandpa Ni called me a couple of days ago and asked about your recent situation. I told him that you were teaching at a university, and he was very pleased. He also mentioned that Ni Bin had also joined a research institute. I said that you were about to go to Beijing, and Grandpa Ni suggested that Xiaobin come to find you." Ning Hezhong spoke calmly.
"Dad, what do you mean?" Ning Yao's eyes were filled with a hint of caution, as if he had a premonition that the next topic would not be simple.
Ning Hezhong smiled slightly, trying to lighten the mood. "Let's get to know each other. I'm quite optimistic about Xiaobin. He has a steady personality. I heard he's now 1.78 meters tall. He's quite a handsome man."
Ning Yao's expression instantly turned cold, and he looked directly at his father: "Dad, I have a partner. Besides, you promised me that as long as we moved out of Chen Feng's house, you would no longer interfere in my affairs. Are you saying this now to go back on your word?"
Ning Hezhong quickly waved his hands: "That's not what I meant, Yaoyao. What I said naturally counts. It's just that since you're not married yet, it's not a bad thing to get to know more people and give yourself more choices. When you were sent to the countryside to work, the people you met were limited. The world outside is bigger, and there are more outstanding men. Now that you're out, you should take a look."
Ning Yao's emotions were obviously on the verge of exploding.
She slammed her chopsticks, the crisp sound being particularly harsh in the quiet restaurant.
"No need! I remember that my mother followed you without hesitation. Maybe she made the wrong choice, but I won't make the wrong choice!"
After saying this, Ning Yao didn't even look at his father again. He stood up, opened the door decisively and quickly, and walked out of the room without hesitation, leaving behind a series of firm and indifferent footsteps that echoed in the empty corridor.
The door slowly closed, isolating the father and daughter from each other's worlds.
Ning Hezhong sat alone at the dining table, his face uncertain, a complex and indescribable emotion flashing in his eyes.
Gao Qi walked into the room quietly, his brows furrowed in a knot. He called out "Governor" and then became speechless.
Ning Hezhong waved his hand gently, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more, and asked, "How's the winery in Mashan Village doing?"
Gao Qi swallowed and replied, "It's still the same, but recently some retired senior leaders have begun to speak out for the winery." His tone was cautious, and he weighed every word over and over again.
"Oh? What did they say?"
"Old leaders believe that private enterprises should be tolerant and given room to develop. Furthermore, their products have a good reputation, and many old leaders say they are loyal users."
Ning Hezhong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he asked, "Who is behind this?"
Gao Qi replied, "It's Director Sun from the Red Star Pharmacy."
Ning Hezhong snorted coldly and said decisively: "No need to wait, let's do it according to the plan we agreed upon before. You go and arrange it." His tone left no room for doubt.
"Okay, Governor!"
After Gao Qi's figure disappeared outside the door, Ning Hezhong's eyes fell on the untouched food on the table, especially the bowl of soup that his daughter had not drunk a single sip. He sat like this for a long time.
Early the next morning, Ning Yao and other teachers boarded the train to the capital.
Chen Feng had no idea what was happening in Ninghai. Today, he and Teresa Teng were invited by Charles to go out early to participate in the military parade.
The car arrived at Buckingham Palace under a bright sun. Prince Charles personally greeted them at the palace gates, accompanied by the stunning Princess Diana.
Charles, with a gentle smile on his face, first kissed Teresa Teng on the cheek and praised her softly, "Ms. Teresa Teng, your arrival makes this palace even more glorious."
Then he turned to Chen Feng and extended his hand enthusiastically. As the two shook hands, Charles smiled and said, "Mr. Chen Feng, it is fate that we meet here."
Not wanting to be outdone, Diana gave each of them a kiss on the cheek with her signature warm smile, creating an extremely harmonious atmosphere.
Led by Charles and Diana, the four entered Buckingham Palace, where a small welcome buffet had been prepared.
Inside the venue, elites from the political and business circles were dressed in smart clothes and chatting and laughing.
As soon as Teresa Teng appeared, she immediately became the focus of attention. People came forward, some praising her heavenly voice, and some recalling the grand occasion of her concerts. Teresa Teng responded by raising her glass, smiling gently, and greeting everyone one by one.
As her male companion, Chen Feng inevitably joined in the social activities, constantly clinking glasses and communicating with others, behaving appropriately and elegantly.
Just as Chen Feng was busy with social engagements, a middle-aged man in formal attire and with an extraordinary temperament approached with a glass of wine. He was Lu Jie, the ambassador of the Overseas Chinese Embassy of China.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Jie's eyes. She didn't expect to meet Chen Feng here.
He asked Xiao Chu to continue investigating Chen Feng's background, but he hadn't gotten any confirmed news yet. Unexpectedly, he ran into Chen Feng here.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am Ambassador Lu Jie of the Overseas Chinese Embassy of China. What a coincidence! It feels so cordial to meet a compatriot here." Lu Jie raised his glass.
Chen Feng smiled broadly upon hearing this: "Ambassador Lu Jie, you are so kind. I feel very cordial to meet you here."
Lu Jie started chatting with Chen Feng. After a few words, he found that Chen Feng had extraordinary conversation and a secret identity - as a mainlander, he was actually Teresa Teng's business partner, which immediately aroused Lu Jie's interest.
However, the buffet was just a place for getting to know each other and exchanging pleasantries, and they couldn't talk much. The two of them seemed like friends and agreed to talk in detail later.
Lu Jie felt that he had gained a lot.
Time passed quickly at the buffet, and as the guests chatted and laughed, the horn for the military parade sounded.
The British military parade does not have a bloody atmosphere like the Chinese one, but it also looks quite solemn and grand.
Diana took the initiative to invite Teresa Teng to watch the ceremony side by side, and Charles naturally walked with Chen Feng. The two talked as they walked, from art to culture, to international vision, covering a wide range of topics.
Lu Jie looked at this scene from afar and was very surprised.
This relationship between Chen Feng and Prince Charles seems to be extraordinary!
He had been an ambassador to the UK for several years, and he never spoke as much to Prince Charles as Chen Feng did just now.
what does this mean?
This means that at critical moments, there is someone who can speak to the British royal family!
Don’t underestimate this communication channel. In some diplomatic fields, it can be of great help!
He felt that Chen Feng's importance increased a little more.
Chen Feng stood next to Prince Charles and watched the ceremony. He felt that this scene was more like a celebration with the participation of the whole nation than a military parade.
In addition to these distinguished guests, there were also dense circles of spectators surrounding the ceremony, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Prince Charles turned around and said to Chen Feng with a smile, "Chen, Her Majesty the Queen will also appear on her beloved horse in a few moments. After this ceremony, if there is an opportunity, I would be very happy to introduce you and Ms. Teresa Teng to the Queen."
"You know what? When I was chatting with her yesterday, she specifically mentioned that she particularly liked those songs by Ms. Teresa Teng, saying that the melodies were beautiful and the emotions were sincere."
Chen Feng smiled and was about to say something polite, but when the words reached his lips, he suddenly seemed to be tripped by something. His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Not good!"
