Chapter 1739 - 1738: Night Talk
The fish were each about one and a half meters long, thicker than an adult’s thigh. Ling Feng could never have imagined that there would be such large fish in the lake of Xiao Chi Village!
At this moment, Wang Laogen chuckled, "These fish are just normal size. There are even bigger ones in the lake!"
"How did they grow so quickly? I remember they weren’t like this before!" Ling Feng asked in confusion.
"Well, you have to ask Li Fei’er about that. She said she found a way to make the fish grow quickly, and somehow, a month later, the fish grew as if they were inflated!" Wang Laogen laughed.
"Uh, this has certainly increased the yield quite a bit!"
Ling Feng nodded, thinking to himself that when he returned to the company in Shiliu Village, he would take a look at the lake and the aquaculture project on the water to see what the current income was.
Given the rapid growth rate of these fish, they should be making quite a bit of money.
As he watched everyone unload the fish and take them to the kitchen, Ling Feng looked at Wang Laogen and Chu Nan, who both looked rejuvenated and full of life, with no wrinkles visible on their faces. He smiled and asked, "You two, are you planning to turn back the clock recently?"
"Don’t say it, we’ve found the feeling of being fifty years old again, and maybe there’s a chance this year!" Wang Laogen said.
Chu Nan glanced at him, a bit speechless, and said, "Don’t flatter yourself. Can’t you tell Ling Feng was being sarcastic? If we really grew younger and younger, we’d become old monsters!"
"Master, don’t say that. I wasn’t being sarcastic at all. I’m genuinely happy to see you getting younger!"
Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. Shall we go upstairs for some tea?"
The two old men exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously, "Let’s go!"
The three of them went upstairs, and when they reached the study, Ling Feng casually flopped onto the sofa.
He then looked at the two old men and cheerfully said, "It’s been a while since we’ve met. You two must be curious about what’s been happening to me lately, right?"
Wang Laogen giggled, "You’re overthinking it. We’re not the least bit concerned about your affairs!"
"Exactly, knowing you, you wouldn’t have gotten into any trouble. You just probably gained some benefits somewhere or had some romantic encounters, neither of which we’re interested in!" Chu Nan added.
Wang Laogen nodded and added, "Unless you’ve found some method to make people immortal, then we might have some interest in hearing about it!"
"But clearly, you’re not that capable yet!" Chu Nan said.
Ling Feng was speechless.
The two old men took turns speaking, leaving him with nothing to say!
Helpless, he had to shake his head and smile wryly, "Fine, it’s clear you really didn’t miss me. You just asked because I came back. If I knew it would be like this, I shouldn’t have left. There’s a warm bed and a girl waiting for me at home. Why did I bother to come to see you two?"
Having said that, he got up to leave!
At this point, Wang Laogen laughed and said, "You’re really clueless. You’re our junior; can’t we even joke around with you?"
"Stop pretending. Sit down. We still have something to discuss with you!" Chu Nan followed up.
Ling Feng thought to himself if he didn’t play hard, the two wouldn’t be serious either!
So he sat back down, looked at the two old men, and curiously asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"You’ve been quite busy in America. I heard you even met the President?" Chu Nan asked.
"That’s right, not only did I meet him, but I also interacted a bit. However, I know very well what he thinks; he certainly didn’t get any benefits from me!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Well, that’s good!"
Chu Nan smiled and then said, "But causing such a stir, have you thought about what might happen when you come back?"
"I have, but they have little opportunity to target me because my businesses are mostly domestic. Their usual sanctions wouldn’t affect me much!"
Ling Feng smiled and suddenly remembered something, so he quickly said, "By the way, did you hear that Smack is planning to set up a factory here?"
"Heard about it. The Shiliu Village Group has already got the news, and the negotiations are underway. The land will be acquired soon for the factory!" Wang Laogen said.
"Oh, that’s good. I think by having Smack set up a factory, we can attract other high-tech industries and build a technology park in the surrounding townships!" Ling Feng said.
Wang Laogen and Chu Nan exchanged a smile.
Seeing this, Ling Feng was puzzled, "What? Did I say something wrong?"
"Your idea is simple, but hard to achieve, and it won’t happen overnight. It’s evident that you have a whim and then hand it over to others without follow-up!"
Wang Laogen said and continued, "From your idea, it seems you’re planning to take a step towards the world stage?"
"Not really!"
Ling Feng shook his head, then smiled wryly, "I’ve always developed passively, pressured step by step by circumstances to reach where I am today. I really haven’t thought about global intentions!"
"Just knew you didn’t have such grand ambitions!"
Chu Nan said and then looked at Ling Feng, "We called you here to talk about this. Now that it’s come to this, there’s no turning back, so think hard about it. Once you surpass someone like Smack, what happens next?"
"You mean the government would use its power against me?"
Ling Feng laughed and waved his hand, "If they resort to force, they’d lose. If they try economic means, I could just open a few more banks and see what they can do about it!"
"It’s great that you thought of this much!"
Chu Nan nodded, looked at Wang Laogen, "Now Old Wang and I can be at ease!"
"You should be at ease!"
Ling Feng chuckled, then stood up and said, "I promised I wouldn’t stay long, so I need to leave. You two stay at the villa, drink tea, go fishing, and when I find a way for eternal life, you’ll be the first to know!"
"Alright, we were just joking. We’re not that afraid of death. Besides, we’re already content living a few extra decades!"
Wang Laogen laughed and then said, "A night of spring is worth a thousand gold, so hurry back!"
"Got it!"
Ling Feng nodded and left the study, quickly returning home.
Walking in, he saw Miao Ruoruo lying with her back facing out, covered with a thin blanket, her curves graceful. He wondered if she was asleep.
Ling Feng tiptoed forward, slipping his hand under the blanket!
