Chapter 1842

As soon as the matter of eating was mentioned, President Pei immediately said, "Ms. Zhan, you are a distinguished guest of our Calligraphy and Painting Association. I must arrange today's meal no matter what!"

Fei Kexin was very clear that one should be polite when it's time to be polite, but one must definitely not be polite when it's not the time.

Just like the matter of someone wanting to treat you to a meal, if the other party is just being polite, then you must definitely return the politeness and then politely decline; this way, both sides have a way to step down, and naturally, everyone is happy.

However, if the other party is truly sincere about treating you, there is no need to be overly polite, and even less need to struggle over whether to rush to pay the bill; simply agreeing readily is giving the other party the greatest respect.

Thus, she smiled and said, "President Pei, since you've said so, then naturally I won't be polite with you! I'll leave the arrangements for tonight to you!"

President Pei patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, I will definitely arrange the best restaurant in Jin Ling for tonight!"

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Changkun and said, "Changkun, you have a good relationship with Master Hong Wu of Tianxiangfu. Why don't you help me book a private room at Tianxiangfu? We will host a banquet at Tianxiangfu tonight to entertain Ms. Zhan!"

Xiao Changkun naturally wouldn't refuse such a thing. After all, Hong Wu was respectful to him; wouldn't having Hong Wu arrange a private room be just a matter of a single sentence?

Thus, he immediately said, "Okay President, I will call Hong Wu right now and tell him to prepare a good private room for us!"

As soon as Fei Kexin heard the three words "Tianxiangfu," her head felt as big as a bucket, and she hurriedly said, "Vice President Xiao, don't be in a hurry!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly said to President Pei, "President Pei, let's not go to such a high-end restaurant. Let's just find any restaurant with Jin Ling characteristics and have a home-cooked meal. To tell you the truth, this is my first time in Jin Ling, and I'm not familiar with this city. I really want to understand the side of this city where people truly live."

Upon hearing this, President Pei immediately praised, "Ms. Zhan is right! You are a newcomer, and your ancestors went out from our Jin Ling. Jin Ling can be considered half a hometown to you. Since you have returned to your hometown, you must taste the most down-to-earth flavors of your hometown!"

After saying that, he immediately made the decision, "Then let's go taste the most authentic local Jin Ling cuisine tonight!"

"Okay!" Fei Kexin hurriedly agreed.

Soon, President Pei drove to lead the way, guiding everyone to an inconspicuous small restaurant. Although the restaurant was small, the interior environment was truly good, and business was also very good.

If it weren't for President Pei having called in advance, they probably wouldn't even have a seat if they came over.

Fortunately, President Pei also had some face here, so they specifically vacated a table for customers who had booked a private room, leaving the private room empty for President Pei.

President Pei brought Xiao Changkun, and Fei Kexin brought Chen Yingshan. After the four of them sat down in the private room and ordered some local dishes, President Pei asked Fei Kexin, "Ms. Zhan, I don't know how long you plan to stay in Jin Ling this time? The art exhibition matter will take at least until next month, because we are going to South Korea for cultural exchange in the latter part of this month, and it might take more than a week to return. Moreover, this exchange activity is organized by the city, so we have no way to decline."

What President Pei was worried about was that Fei Kexin's time was tight. If she couldn't stay in the country for too long, then this art exhibition would inevitably have to speed up its pace. However, all their energy was currently on the cultural exchange matter, and it was probably difficult to take care of both.

Fei Kexin also knew what President Pei was worried about, and she had been waiting for President Pei to ask her this question.

Thus, she immediately followed President Pei's words and said with a smile, "President Pei, there is no need to worry. You and Vice President Xiao should focus your energy on the cultural exchange you two are organizing. As for the art exhibition, it can completely wait until you two return from South Korea, because I plan to stay in Jin Ling for a long time this time."

"Oh? Is that so?" President Pei said pleasantly surprised, "That would be truly great! After all, an art exhibition with a 50 million budget can be considered first-class in the country in terms of scale. For such a large art exhibition, if you want to make it successful, you definitely need to spend more time and energy preparing."

"Yes!" Fei Kexin nodded and smiled, "To tell you the truth, President Pei, my grandfather actually really wants to return to his roots in the future, so I came to Jin Ling this time to act as an advance party for him, to first get familiar with the situation in Jin Ling, and then settle down the residence. This way, he can move back to Jin Ling to live with peace of mind."

President Pei asked curiously, "Does Ms. Zhan mean that you are going to settle down in Jin Ling?"

Fei Kexin nodded along with the words, "That's right, I just bought a villa these past two days, but I haven't had time to organize it yet. I might need to first find a reliable Feng Shui master to help me take a look, to see if there are any problems with the Feng Shui and if it will clash with the elderly."

As soon as Xiao Changkun heard this, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out excitedly without almost any hesitation, "Oh my, Ms. Zhan, if you want to find a Feng Shui master, then you have truly found the right person today!"

Fei Kexin had chatted with President Pei for such a long time just to get Xiao Changkun involved and wait for him to say these words!

Thus, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked with feigned surprise, "Vice President Xiao, do you actually understand Feng Shui?"

Xiao Changkun chuckled, waved his hand, and said, "I don't understand it, but my son-in-law understands it very well! He is a master who specializes in reading Feng Shui for people. He has a great many clients in Jin Ling and even all over the country, and they are all big clients with deep pockets like you, Ms. Zhan!"

"Is that so?" Fei Kexin said with a face full of surprise, "If that's the case, then that is truly a coincidence!"

President Pei on the side also couldn't help but echo, "Ms. Zhan, Changkun is right. His son-in-law is indeed a Feng Shui master. That Master Hong Wu of Tianxiangfu I just mentioned is very respectful to his son-in-law, calling him Master Ye very diligently. You must know that Master Hong Wu is a big figure with status in our local Jin Ling. If his son-in-law didn't have true talent and learning, it would definitely be impossible to make someone like Master Hong Wu so convinced."

Fei Kexin was incredibly excited. At this moment, she could completely conclude that Xiao Changkun's son-in-law, Ye Chen, was that Master Ye, and he was the big boss behind the scenes who cured Xiao Changkun's high paraplegia!

In this way, it made perfect sense that Ye Chen had the Rejuvenation Pill!

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "Vice President Xiao, then I have to trouble you to put in a good word for me with your son-in-law, and ask him to try his best to find time in his busy schedule to help me look at the Feng Shui of that villa!"

Xiao Changkun had always cared about face, so at this moment, he naturally agreed readily and took on the responsibility, "Rest assured, Ms. Zhan, my son-in-law respects me very much. I will tell him when I go back, and he will definitely agree!"

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun's mind stirred, and he hurriedly asked again, "By the way, Ms. Zhan, is the villa you bought a new house or second-hand? Is it fully furnished or a rough shell?"

Fei Kexin had originally handed this matter entirely to Chen Yingshan, so how would she know what kind of villa was bought? Thus, she said to Chen Yingshan without revealing anything, "Shanshan, you come and introduce it to Vice President Xiao."

Chen Yingshan hurriedly said, "Vice President Xiao, the villa our young lady bought is a second-hand detached villa in the suburbs. The interior is decorated, but the decoration is a bit old. You ask this, is it because there is some particularity regarding Feng Shui?"

Xiao Changkun chuckled and said, "It's not that there is any particularity regarding Feng Shui; it's mainly because my daughter has started her own design studio, which mainly does interior design. I was thinking that if Ms. Zhan needs decoration for this villa, you can find my daughter; she is very professional!"

Fei Kexin's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "That's great! I was just thinking of tearing down all the interior decoration and redoing it. Now I don't have to trouble myself to go out and look for someone else!"
