Chapter 1859: Do a Favor

Lin Haifeng nodded, taking it as a tacit agreement.

The two chatted a few more lines, and Liu Zhen left with the woman in his arms.

"Haifeng, thank you, thank you for being willing to help me." Once everyone had left, Chen Kaijun said to Lin Haifeng with an excited face.

Lin Haifeng smiled, patted Chen Kaijun's head, and comforted him: "Dummy, if I don't help you, who will? You're my friend, of course I have to help you. Besides, I need to rely on you too, don't I."

"Haifeng, you're so good to me." Chen Kaijun pulled Lin Haifeng into his arms and held him tight.

After being affectionate for a while, Chen Kaijun let go of Lin Haifeng and said with a smile: "Let's go eat, my treat tonight."

Chen Kaijun brought Lin Haifeng to the dining area of a five-star hotel. Lin Haifeng looked at the dazzling array of exquisite dishes and was immediately drawn in, unable to wait to sit down and prepare to taste them.

While eating, Lin Haifeng saw a familiar graceful figure walking over from afar.

It was Li Yuwei!

Li Yuwei walked straight toward her.

"Hey, Yuwei, you're here?" Lin Haifeng hurriedly beckoned Li Yuwei over.

"Haifeng, is this your boyfriend?" Li Yuwei sized up Chen Kaijun and asked.

Lin Haifeng was just about to say yes, but Chen Kaijun got there first: "I'm not her boyfriend."

"No?" Li Yuwei looked at Chen Kaijun suspiciously.

"Right, we're just colleagues." Chen Kaijun said with a smile.

"Who are you fooling? The intimate gestures between you don't look like ordinary colleagues at all." Li Yuwei stared at Lin Haifeng and Chen Kaijun as she spoke, "Haifeng, is there something hard to say?"

"Uh... no, absolutely not." Lin Haifeng waved his hand awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "Yuwei, hurry up and eat, it'll get cold and won't taste good later."

"Hmph!" Li Yuwei snorted coldly.

Lin Haifeng knew Li Yuwei had misunderstood, so he didn't explain.

At this moment, Lin Haifeng heard Chen Kaijun's voice beside him: "Haifeng, is this your friend?"

Lin Haifeng turned his head and looked behind him—it turned out to be Yang Jingya.

"Teacher Yang, how come you're here?" Chen Kaijun greeted her with a smile, warmly saying hello.

"I came to see you." Yang Jingya said with a smile. "I just got back from abroad and heard you were sick and hospitalized, so I came specifically to check on you."

"Thank you, Teacher Yang." Chen Kaijun said quickly, then turned to Lin Haifeng and said, "Haifeng, let me introduce you. This is Teacher Yang Jingya, the famous pianist Yang Jingya." Lin Haifeng heard the name and froze on the spot.

She never expected that the Teacher Yang Chen Kaijun spoke of was actually that world-famous piano prodigy from years ago—Yang Jingya.

One should know that Yang Jingya was once a renowned pianist both domestically and internationally, hailed as the "Music Princess," and held an extremely high reputation in the music industry.

Lin Haifeng never imagined she would run into Yang Jingya again under these circumstances.

Lin Haifeng couldn't help but carefully size up Yang Jingya.

All these years had passed, and Yang Jingya was still as elegant and noble as ever; compared to the spirited young girl on stage years ago, she now carried an added depth of years and resilience.

Yang Jingya also saw Lin Haifeng and said with a smile: "I remember you, Lin Haifeng, right?"

Lin Haifeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled sheepishly: "Yes, Teacher Yang, you still remember me?"

"Of course, your talent and gift are the most inspired I've ever seen." Yang Jingya said frankly, "It's just that you were young back then and couldn't sort out many things clearly. Actually, I've been watching your growth all along."

Lin Haifeng heard these words and couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.

Years ago, Lin Haifeng and Yang Jingya had a brief teacher-student bond.

At that time, Lin Haifeng studied piano under Yang Jingya, and the two thus became friends despite the age difference.

Later, for certain reasons, Lin Haifeng left Yang Jingya, and after years of separation, they lost contact.

She didn't expect to run into Yang Jingya again here.

"Thank you, Teacher Yang." Lin Haifeng said sincerely.

"Alright, save the catching up for later." Yang Jingya pointed at Chen Kaijun, who had been 'petrified' beside Lin Haifeng, and said, "This handsome young man also works at a pharmaceutical company, right?"

"Uh... yes." Chen Kaijun said woodenly.

"I also stayed abroad for many years and just came back recently." Yang Jingya said with a smile, "I'm now teaching at a music academy."

"So that's how it is." Lin Haifeng nodded.

At this moment, Li Yuwei, who had been sulking on the side, suddenly said: "Teacher Yang, do you know the school board director of this music academy?"

"We've met twice." Yang Jingya said lightly, "Is there something you need?"

"Could you do me a favor?" Li Yuwei immediately became excited.

"Oh? What favor could I do?" Yang Jingya asked in confusion.

Seeing hope, Li Yuwei quickly explained the situation: "It's like this, I have a best friend who wants to get into your music academy, but her grades are average and she doesn't have any solid connections. I'm afraid even if she goes, it'll be hard for her to gain a foothold there."

"Could you see your way to helping? I heard the school board director has a quota of direct recommendation spots every year." Li Yuwei said carefully, "Could you... directly recommend my best friend in?"

Yang Jingya heard these words and immediately frowned.

Lin Haifeng also sensed something was off.
