Chapter 818 431: Secrets Hidden in the Depths of the World (Part 4)

Professor Zhou hesitated and shook his head, "I've only heard that the rumors are quite strong, but I've never seen it with my own eyes. Even if I did see it... anyway, I don't believe it!"

Dean Sun smiled mysteriously, "Let's put it this way, you are an expert in drug development, and I, as a doctor, can't even compare to a half-baked one, so I believed about two-tenths of what you said just now. But now if someone puts the clinical data report of the new Helan drug and the incident of that person with special abilities in front of me, to choose between believing one of them, I would never choose the data report."

Professor Zhou was slightly taken aback, then his mouth slightly opened, looking at him in surprise.

At the same time, it wasn't just Professor Zhou who wore a similar expression; Zheng Ling did too!

Upon seeing Li Peifeng for the first time, she was slightly stunned, continually scanning him up and down, her eyes growing increasingly strange, as if she had seen some novel organism.

Xie Lingyun wasn't so exaggerated; although her gaze was mostly on Li Peifeng, it was more like the subtle reaction of an ordinary girl being overwhelmed by his unparalleled looks. However, she had seen the world and hid her gaze well.

"Didn't expect you'd really come personally, Sister Ling, I said earlier that seeing swallows building a nest this morning meant an honored guest would arrive. Welcome, a warm welcome indeed."

Huang Jianzhong's respectful attitude carried just the right amount of enthusiasm. Gina, being a fellow woman, was less restrained and proactively linked arms with Zheng Ling to show closeness and greeted Xie Lingyun.

"Lingyun, Tianxuan is touching up her makeup and changing clothes, she'll be thrilled to see you. By my side is Peifeng, today's groom."

"These two, you can just call one Auntie and the other Sister."

Li Peifeng politely greeted them like a schoolboy, to which Xie Lingyun responded with a 'hello', while Zheng Ling showed no reaction.

Huang Jianzhong finally realized something amiss, "Sister Ling, have you met Peifeng before?"

"Mommy?"

Xie Lingyun also found her mother's loss of composure strange and discreetly tugged on Zheng Ling's hand, yet Zheng Ling rather clasped her hand.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Lingyun looked up, puzzled at her mother, noticed her expression, and in the next moment turned her gaze toward Li Peifeng, her pupils contracted, her mouth slightly opened, and she slightly wondered aloud.

"Yes, of course, I've seen him before. But it should be on the screen... Old Huang, what movies or TV dramas has your son-in-law been in? He looks so familiar."

Though Xie Lingyun was stunned, Zheng Ling seemed to have collected her emotions, proactively shook hands with Huang Jianzhong, and naturally engaged in small talk.

This explanation slightly accounted for her earlier daze and indirectly praised Li Peifeng's outstanding appearance.

Huang Jianzhong basked in the praise, laughing heartily, "He's not an actor or star, but a writer. I'm not familiar with his specific works, but apparently, he's quite known online. Besides writing, he also dabbles in financial investment and IT entertainment industry layouts. He's involved in many sectors, but they're all small-scale ventures by young people. It'll need some of your guidance, Sister Ling."

"Oh? Such a young talent, no need for you to say more, I'd be more than willing to help."

Brief exchanges later, under Zheng Ling's discreet pulling, Xie Lingyun finally stopped her wide-eyed stare-off with Li Peifeng, her mouth slightly open, ultimately breaking into a polite smile, "Xuanxuan recommended your work to me before, so imaginative and thought-provoking... impressive!"

"Thank you."

Li Peifeng nodded noncommittally, but a vague ominous feeling lingered within him, as he recalled Huang Tianxuan mentioning a story about this mother-daughter duo.

Could they really have clairvoyant abilities? And is it hereditary? Was their reaction just now because they'd seen through his non-human nature?!

Gina knowingly smiled, "Lingyun, have you also read his book? Ha, he indeed has a bit of a reputation."

"Choosing such an outstanding son-in-law really is a blessing for you two. At first sight, like light on the horizon, with the stature of dragon and phoenix, and unexpectedly, even more talented on the inside... hmm, when I get some time, I'll also take a look at your book."

Zheng Ling's praise was both exaggerated and sincere. She proceeded to shake hands with Li Peifeng, gripping so firmly that Li Peifeng was astonished by the strength a woman in her sixties could exert.

"You're too kind, please come in, have a seat inside."

In the midst of their business courtesy, the group escorted the mother and daughter to the VIP seats.

The current gathering required greeting and farewelling many guests, and although Zheng Ling and her daughter held very high positions in the pharmaceutical industry, Huang Jianzhong couldn't stay by their side the entire time. He arranged for them to sit where there were familiar acquaintances, left Gina to accompany them briefly, and then left with Li Peifeng.

"Chairman Zheng, it's truly been a while since we last met. I remember the last time was at last year's Qin Business Federation meeting, but you look as if you've grown younger since then."

"Hahaha, Chairman Wang, I'll take your word for it! I do feel a bit younger. It's probably because this year I've delegated the specific work to the younger folks, while I only partake in tours and inspections."

"So, this time in Hangzhou, you're not just here for the wedding, are you?"

"Correct, tomorrow I'll be leading the Hong Kong Area Liaison Association to Ali and Hikvision to inspect the digital economy. We'll also be conducting biopharmaceutical project exchanges and alignments with some research institutes and enterprises in Zhejiang, including Helan."

Zheng Ling is not only a 'national entrepreneur,' because of her residence in Xiang Island and some other reasons, she also holds an impressive official status, which in layman's terms is the leader of a patriotic and island-loving society.
