Needless to say, the "enthusiastic" classmate who secretly reported to Xu Jing must have been Class Monitor Li Zhi; besides him, no one else would be talking to the counselor all day.

It seems this was Li Zhi's follow-up move. First, he discouraged classmates from participating in the competition events, and then he reported to the counselor that Lin Feng wasn't doing his job properly... He's purely out to disgust people!

This Li Zhi, is he ever going to stop? Lin Feng grew increasingly furious. He was merely disinclined to bother with Li Zhi, but that didn't mean Li Zhi could continue to act so arrogantly in front of him.

If Li Zhi doesn't repent, Lin Feng wouldn't mind finding a suitable opportunity to slap this gossiping little man to the ground.

"Teacher, who did you hear this news from?" Lin Feng's reaction to Xu Jing's question was quite exaggerated, and he asked back in surprise, "Our class had already completed all registration tasks this morning. Whether it's the basketball tournament, the group relay race, or those individual competitions, students have signed up for every event. For the table tennis event, we even have to organize a selection trial to decide the participants!"

"Ah? Is that so?" Xu Jing was shocked by Lin Feng's news. She almost blurted out, then why did Class Monitor Li Zhi just tell me that not a single person signed up for the individual track and field events?

"Sports Committee member Wang Zikai was just reporting to me. If you don't believe me, Teacher, you can just ask him and find out," Lin Feng said calmly. "Although I didn't contribute much in this process, Teacher, you shouldn't blindly listen to rumors and casually dismiss the students' enthusiasm to win glory for the class!"

Lin Feng's words were quite effective, making Xu Jing's face flush. She asked herself, could it be true, as Lin Feng said, that she had been too inclined to listen only to the class monitor's opinions, leading to a biased understanding in her work?

"Mm, I have a basic understanding of the situation now. I'll find classmate Wang Zikai later to get the details. You can go back first!" Xu Jing said gently to Lin Feng. Lin Feng's words made her decide not to be overly reliant on one person's account, so she planned to call Wang Zikai to understand the real situation.

As Lin Feng left Xu Jing's office, he was about to go back and confront Li Zhi. Why was this guy always causing trouble behind his back? Had Lin Feng stolen his girlfriend, or cut off his source of income?

However, just as Lin Feng was about to make a move, his phone rang in his pocket.

He glanced at the number—it was Cao Ying. Lin Feng immediately broke into a smile and answered, saying quite naturally, "Honey, what made you suddenly think of calling me?"

"Lin Feng... it's me..." To Lin Feng's surprise, the awkward voice on the other end was Li Liping's. "I don't have your number, so I borrowed my cousin's phone to call you... My cousin and I are in the tenth-floor lobby of the Yuefu Hotel right now. You can come over!"

Hearing Li Liping's voice, Lin Feng also felt a bit awkward. Fortunately, Lin Feng was thick-skinned and didn't mind having called the wrong person. Speaking of which, the two sisters, Cao Ying and Li Liping, were each beautiful in their own way, and they were equally stunning! Heh, no complaints there...

"Alright, I'll head over now!" After Lin Feng hung up, he checked the time. It was only around five-thirty in the afternoon. He had originally arranged to have dinner with Li Liping at seven, but with the beauties waiting, Lin Feng couldn't possibly refuse.

Putting Li Zhi aside for the moment, Lin Feng walked straight to the parking lot, started his beloved Passat, and used the car's navigation system to head directly to the Yuefu Hotel.

When Lin Feng arrived downstairs at the Yuefu Hotel, a man wearing glasses, who was responsible for reception, had already recognized his car. After confirming Lin Feng's identity, he escorted him to the tenth-floor observation restaurant.

The Yuefu Hotel faced the Qing River, and its tenth-floor observation restaurant was the most comfortable spot for viewing the night scenery. At this moment, the sun had just set, the sky was a deep azure, and the horizon still reflected a trace of rosy clouds. The city lights were beginning to flicker on, and neon-lit pleasure boats started to appear on the river, signaling the start of Jiangzhou's vibrant nightlife.

Cao Ying and Li Liping were sitting in a relatively quiet and secluded corner, each with a cup of coffee before them, chatting idly.

Lin Feng clicked his tongue. Amid the looks of envy, jealousy, and resentment from the man in glasses who had led the way, he casually sat down beside Cao Ying and said with a light smile, "I thought you two had already started eating... I didn't expect you to be so polite, waiting for me to order!"

"Hey... Lin Feng, with two great beauties sitting here, can you not talk about food the moment you arrive! You really don't know how to show consideration for others..." Li Liping said with a grin as Lin Feng arrived.

"Alright..." Lin Feng glanced at Cao Ying, who was smilingly watching him, then looked at Li Liping and said perfunctorily, "Good evening, you two great beauties... Um, can we order now?"

"Seriously... Do you love eating that much!" Li Liping rolled her eyes at Lin Feng and said with a half-joking scolding.

Cao Ying, however, knew Lin Feng was definitely a foodie, and a massive one at that, so she wasn't surprised by his behavior. "Knowing you couldn't wait, I've already ordered quite a few dishes to your taste. They'll be served soon."

"TSK TSK... Honey really cares about me!" Lin Feng deliberately called Cao Ying "Honey" in front of Li Liping. He figured since this term of endearment had already been exposed to Li Liping, he might as well let her get used to it!

"Pfft... I told you not to call me that!" Cao Ying's face turned slightly red, her eyes a bit flustered, and she was indeed looking at Li Liping.

"Sigh... Just pretend I don't exist. Do whatever you normally do; it's not like I can control you anyway!" Li Liping rolled her eyes, feeling somewhat frustrated. She had just realized that she, who had kindly invited two people to dinner, had ended up being a glaringly obvious third wheel.

Does this young lady, when inviting people to dinner, have to tactfully make herself scarce so they can have their private time? What kind of world is this? Li Liping's frustration was practically written all over her face.

"Li Ping, what a coincidence, bumping into you here..."

Just then, a man in a white suit who had just entered the hall suddenly walked over. Lightly resting one hand on the back of Li Liping's chair, he greeted her with a beaming smile.

"And who might these two be?" The man in the suit appeared to be in his mid-twenties. He was handsome, with a slender build. He wore Brioni and a classic Patek Philippe watch on his wrist; clearly a scion of a wealthy family. After greeting Li Liping, he subconsciously glanced at Cao Ying and Lin Feng. When he saw Cao Ying, his eyes couldn't help but light up again. When his gaze fell on Lin Feng, a clear trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Hmph, another conceited jerk! Aside from the man in the suit's barely passable good looks, Lin Feng could tell from the disgust in Li Liping's eyes that this man was essentially just a womanizer trying to hit on her by acting overly familiar.

Damn it, why do I run into these self-satisfied, uninvited flies wherever I go?

"Sun Zheng, I don't recall us being that familiar..." Li Liping shot Sun Zheng a glance and said coldly.

"No problem, we can get to know each other better! Besides, our families live close by, and your father also hopes we'll interact more!" Sun Zheng seemed completely unfazed by Li Liping's indifference, instead smilingly seating himself in the empty chair beside her.
