Chapter 588: False Alarm
Chapter 588: False Alarm
At Bao Zhuoyuan's age, he is more philosophical about things and understands that there is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome. Therefore, every time Feng Yiping sees him, he is always happy.
Today was no exception. As soon as they met, he shook his hand happily, his eyes full of appreciation, 'Yiping, after your trip to the United States, our order volume has increased by nearly 10%, which is really gratifying!'
'Haha, isn't that what I'm supposed to do, Mr. Bao?' However, Feng Yiping was still not quite satisfied with the increase in orders. Advertising is the way to make a lot of money quickly. 'Have no new advertisers come looking?'
'Of course there are. A few have approached us, and I was just about to tell you,'
'That's good,'
'The scene of you giving a speech in New York was broadcast on several local TV stations. People who watched it felt very inspired. Now quite a few companies and organisations are asking me to pass on a message to you, asking you to give a speech. Several TV stations and newspapers also want to interview you,' Lao Cai took out a notepad from his bag and said, 'Look, I've written it all down here. Quite a few, isn't it?'
Feng Yiping glanced at it briefly. 'I can only stay for one night this time, so let's leave these invitations for now. I don't think I'll have time at the end of the year, either, as I'll be busy with a lot of things,'
Although he could not be as successful as other people who have experienced rebirth, Feng Yiping, whose back is now stronger, should at least face the world. Hong Kong is the main focus of all his plans, which include a magazine and an investment company. Therefore, he is not very interested in the invitations Cai has written down.
'That's right, then I'll reply to them and say I'll wait until your schedule is available,' when facing Feng Yiping, Bao Zhuoyuan always forgets that the most legitimate identity of this young man in front of him is still a college student.
'What about funding? How's the fundraising going?' Feng Yiping's main concern when meeting with Lao Bao today is still this question.
'The dividend issue has been dealt with, and in addition, we have secured a lot of financing against the magazine, which, together, amounts to more than 15 million US dollars,' said Bao Zhuoyuan, sounding a little proud.
Yes, in less than a year, a new magazine has grown to its current state, and he is fully entitled to be proud.
'Thank you, Mr. Bao, and please rest assured that this time, taking out all the profits is only temporary, and is needed for other operations. Next year, I will still increase my investment in the magazine,'
'I've never worried about this. It's just that Ping, judging from the current situation, the US presidential election is really too close to call. For our December issue, do we have to say for sure that Bush will win?' Bao Zhuoyuan asked.
'Yes,' Feng Yiping said with certainty, 'don't worry, Bao, this is the conclusion I reached after my field trip to the US these days. I will send you the specific reasons and justifications in writing in the next few days,'
Knowing the result, it's not difficult to list some reasons that can stand the test of scrutiny, is it? And for such a major election that has attracted worldwide attention, Frontier certainly wants to make its voice heard.
'Just do as Yiping says, Mr. Bao,' Li Ruiyuan said. 'Think about it, in the magazine, has there ever been a single point that Yiping insisted on that was not proven correct in the end?
'Haha, yes, I was just asking,' Bao Zhuoyuan was not arrogant enough to think that the magazine's current achievements were all his own doing. He knew that, objectively speaking, most of the credit had to go to Feng Yiping.
...
At the Capital Airport, Huang Jingping did not care at all about the stares of the people around her. She held Feng Yiping firmly, closed her eyes, and sniffed at him. 'Hey, the smell on you is different from before.'
Feng Yiping's body trembled, his skin tightened, and his hair stood on end. This can't be!
However, as a tried and tested man, even he himself didn't know that although he had never experienced it before, in the face of such a significant matter, instinct had taken control in the first instance.
It felt like his dominant consciousness was floating high above, looking down coldly at Feng Yiping below. Without even a second's delay, without the slightest hesitation, he very naturally activated a pre-planned response that seemed to have been rehearsed long ago.
'Oh, really?' He pretended to sniff himself, then looked at Huang Jingping with a sincere expression, without blinking or changing his expression, "Do I smell?'
'Yes," Huang Jingping sniffed again, 'but today is really different from before,'
'Really? I see. It must be that after all these days, I've been eating butter and beef like an American, so the smell has changed. After a few days of eating your food, it will be fine again.' He pulled the suitcase and took Huang Jingping's arm as they walked towards the parking lot. 'Hey, does that mean I also have body odour?'
Huang Jingping burst out laughing. 'Whether it's body odour or sweaty stink, anyway, I like the smell of you, including the smell you have right now,'
'Haha,' Feng Yiping rubbed her head with his hand, 'so I don't need to shower?'
After dropping off the luggage, he took a look around the living room and then comfortably lay down on the sofa, "It's still nice at home!'
Huang Jingping laughed as she helped him sort out his luggage, "Are you going to the company and school today?'
Feng Yiping waved his hand, 'I don't want to move, I don't want to go,'
'So what do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you,'
Feng Yiping held out his hand to her, 'Don't bother, come here,'
Huang Jingping came over as she was told, and petted his head, "You're like a child,'
Feng Yiping hugged her, "Right now I don't want anything, I just want to hold you like this,'
Huang Jingping hugged him with her eyes closed, "Mmm" a few times, and they were like this for a while, "Wait here, I'll be right back," and she went upstairs briskly.
It was probably the short scene at the airport just now that exhausted her physical and mental energy beyond her imagination. When Huang Jingping returned, Feng Yiping was almost asleep. She nudged Feng Yiping, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, and said softly, 'Do you want to sleep? Go take a shower first, I've already started the water for you,'
Feng Yiping took her hand and said in a tone that was almost flirtatious, 'I want you to wash my back,'
Huang Jingping smiled, 'You go up first, I'll go turn off the stove in the kitchen,'
Haha, there's a door!
Naturally, this bath was a beautiful and dramatic one, but the details are not appropriate to go into.
Leaning against the bed, Feng Yiping, who had drunk some after-bath water, asked Huang Jingping, who was too contented to say a word, 'Is everything okay at home? Is your father's work going well? How's business at your mother's shop? And Qinping, you must start taking things seriously now!'
'Everything's fine,' Huang Jingping pressed her hot body against Feng Yiping's. 'By the way, I went to visit Grandpa on purpose, and he's doing well too. During dinner, hehe, a few aunts even said they wanted to give me a red envelope, but I didn't want it,'
'Right, you can take the red envelope in the future,'
According to family rules, a niece-in-law like Huang Jingping who has been acknowledged and is visiting her uncle's house for the first time is not expected to go empty-handed.
However, there is still one procedure missing. Up to now, Huang Jingping has not yet officially visited Feng Yiping's home. It is a very important matter for the woman to visit the home for the first time. Feng Yiping, the person concerned, is not at home, so Huang Jingping goes to Fengjiazhuang to see Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping, which is not quite in order.
Feng Yiping pinches her face and says, 'In the twelfth lunar month of this year, you will go to my home again.'
'Yes, I'll listen to you,'
'Listen to me,' Feng Yiping smiled playfully, and his hands became unruly again, "Ah, no," Huang Jingping giggled and rolled to the other side of the bed, "Didn't you say you just wanted to sleep well?'
'Come on," Feng Yiping revealed a wolf-like smile, "I'll explain to you the multiple meanings of the word "sleep','
'No, I don't want to listen. I'm not going to take any exams anyway,' Huang Jingping casually defended herself against Feng Yiping's advances and harassment, but the effect was naturally not very effective.
Still, the ringing phone saved her from the fire. Feng Yiping let her go angrily, picked up the phone and said, 'I mean, you can't be so impatient if you want a gift,'
'You brought me a present? That's progress,' Jin Ling said with a smile, 'but I'm saying, are you not going to come to the office today?'
'Oh, well, you know, I need to get over the jet lag,'
'Get over your ass, you just got back from Hong Kong, there's a ton of work at the office, come on!'
'I trust you to get things done. Anyway, I don't want to go today. Just think of it as a few days when I'm not feeling well every month.'
Jin Ling on the other end of the phone was at a loss for words after hearing his tired excuses. Huang Jingping gave him a little tap on the chest and took over the phone. 'Jin Ling, I think Yiping has brought back some western food ingredients. Why don't you come over for dinner tonight?'
