Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

181: 181. Lu Feng’s parents come to JiangchengThe “International Forum on New Energy and Materials Science” hosted by Jiangcheng University finally concluded in an atmosphere that appeared harmonious and enthusiastic.

The university leaders saw off the last group of foreign guests, returned to their offices, and almost simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief, wiping away non-existent cold sweat from their brows.

They had finally managed to successfully host this highly-spec’d, internationally impactful conference without any major hitches.

The Student Union, on the other hand, felt like they had won a battle.

Although they were exhausted and disheveled, every student involved in the organization beamed with excitement and pride.

After all, being able to interact closely with so many internationally renowned scholars and entrepreneurs—even if it was just serving tea and water—and listening to those profound discussions, gave them the illusion of being ”people who have participated in big events.”

Their own stature seemed to have elevated by several levels.

Lin Wanqiu, as one of the key reception staff, was even busier, her feet barely touching the ground.

As soon as the conference ended, she immediately found Lu Feng and insisted on treating him to a meal at the stir-fry section on the third floor of the cafeteria to thank him for his help during the reception of the American academic delegation.

”Luckily, I had your help; otherwise, I really couldn’t have handled it alone that day,” Lin Wanqiu said sincerely, placing a chopstick-full of stir-fried beef into Lu Feng’s bowl.

”You’re welcome, I was just idle anyway,” Lu Feng said with a smile.

Lin Wanqiu pursed her lips and smiled, ”Someone like you should really join our Student Union. Seriously, I feel you handle things with such composure, completely unlike a freshman.”

Lu Feng shook his head and chuckled, ”That’s just your illusion.”

After eating for a while, Lin Wanqiu suddenly seemed to remember something, lowering her voice, her eyes sparkling with gossip: ”Hey, speaking of which, what exactly happened with those two American professors and researchers that day? They just left so suddenly, so mysteriously.”

”I secretly heard several people whispering about it, and they made it sound so bizarre, saying things like... they encountered evil, saw ghosts, or some even said they had a psychotic episode?”

Lu Feng, upon hearing this, slowly swallowed his food, picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth, and then revealed a meaningful, faint smile, teasing, ”Those with a guilty conscience see ghosts everywhere. Perhaps they’ve done too many bad deeds themselves and are having some unpleasant associations.”

His tone was light and casual, and Lin Wanqiu let out a giggle, finding his words reasonable, and then gently dropped the topic.

After the meal, Lin Wanqiu checked the time and suggested, ”Lu Feng, do you have an exam this afternoon? You should be free after that, right? I know a good movie just came out recently. Want to go see it tonight?”

Lu Feng shook his head: ”Tonight, I’m afraid not. My parents are coming to Jiangcheng today. We’ve been planning it for a long time, and they finally agreed to visit me now that the weather is cooler.”

”Auntie and Uncle are coming?”

Lin Wanqiu’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said enthusiastically, ”Then I’ll go help you pick them up! I don’t have anything to do this afternoon anyway!”

Lu Feng politely declined: ”No need to trouble you, Senior Sister. I’ve already arranged for someone to pick them up.”

...Meanwhile, in the President’s office of Tingfeng Capital, the atmosphere was starkly different from the relaxed campus.

Yu Tianxiong was discussing matters with Xu Ting and Wang Yuxi.

As Lu Feng’s chief steward, Yu Tianxiong was accustomed to understanding every move Lu Feng made. Even if some projects were not his responsibility, gaining a deeper understanding helped him keep pace with Lu Feng’s thinking and actions.

During a break in the discussion, Yu Tianxiong glanced at his wristwatch and stood up, saying, ”Miss Xu, Miss Wang, please finalize the remaining details. I need to go to the high-speed rail station to pick up two important people.”

Xu Ting casually asked, ”Oh? What important figures require President Yu to personally go?”

Yu Tianxiong smiled, his tone carrying a subtle hint of respect: ”They are Mr.’s parents, visiting Jiangcheng for the first time today.”

”Lu Feng’s parents?”
