Chapter 1498: Fashion Elite Charity Night

Lin Feng instructed Xiang Wang on the matters to follow up, and a few minutes later, everything was clear. Before Lin Feng returned to his room, the electronic documents sent by Xiang Wang had already reached his computer.

“Boss, I’ve found the information you asked for… It’s so easy to find, just a quick internet search does the trick, you’re really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!” Xiang Wang seemed quite dissatisfied with Lin Feng over the phone.

“Oh, you’ve got complaints about me asking you to work?” Lin Feng detected Xiang Wang’s discontent and teased him with a chuckle, “You ungrateful brat… I just helped you settle that Dongyang chick, and now you’re tossing me aside?”

“No way, Boss, don’t talk nonsense… I’m not that kind of person! Once a boss, always a boss, hehe, I was just saying casually, Boss, please don’t take it to heart! Big jobs like this are of course for us juniors to handle!” Xiang Wang perked up immediately at the mention of Oda Kunoichi and put on a serious demeanor.

“Are you really that honest?” Lin Feng asked suspiciously, then suddenly realized, “You’re not trying to get me to help you with something again, are you?”

“Hehe, Boss, you’re wise! Uh, Boss, how about visiting Sister Qingyi tonight? I’ll join you?” Xiang Wang asked cautiously and humbly.

Dammit, is this brat trying to use my name to secretly meet with his mistress again? Lin Feng quickly saw through Xiang Wang’s scheme. He directly yawned and shook his head, “I’m tired, maybe next time…”

After saying that, Lin Feng hung up the phone, not giving Xiang Wang a chance to plead, then opened the computer to review the information Xiang Wang had sent him.

The “Fashion Elite Charity Night,” it turned out, was a major charity gala hosted by the Fashion Elite Group using its resources in various circles in Jiangzhou, inviting numerous tycoons, politicos, and celebrities. It was held around New Year’s Eve every year, this one marking the eleventh year, and its impact was so great that it had almost spread through China, becoming the most prominent event in the fashion and celebrity circles around the Spring Festival.

The date of the charity gala was usually set six months in advance, while the theme was often chosen closer to the event, usually representing a hot topic of the year, and the content typically included walking the red carpet, charity auctions, dinners, etc… Many domestic A-list celebrities and wealthy philanthropists would attend, making the live scene very lively.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng realized this so-called charity gala was likely a sham… Ultimately, it was merely a platform for exchanges among the wealthy, the elite, and the politicos, dressed up under the guise of charity to sound appealing, though historically, these charity galas hadn’t achieved much besides numerous scandals…

Looking at this information, Lin Feng considered whether there was any need for him to attend this gala on behalf of his father…

However, Lin Feng suddenly thought of a problem. Su Zi and Ning Aoxue had just eagerly prepared their gowns, they definitely wanted to join in the fun, and on Cao Ying’s side, since Cao Tiannan was one of the organizers, her attendance was quite likely, along with the inevitable presence of Li Liping… Plus, Xu Yishan and Old Xu, likely tasked with receiving invitations, meaning Xu Jing would probably also go for some fun…

Lin Feng counted roughly, and at least five acquaintances of his would be attending the gala… Thinking about the various messy scandals from past galas, and considering the quality of these beauties, there would undoubtedly be flies and mosquitoes buzzing around, and Lin Feng’s eyes turned fierce, “Damn, looks like I really can’t skip this gala! I want to see who dares to make a move on my girls; I’ll chop their hands off on the spot!”

Nonetheless, despite finding his reason to attend the charity gala, Lin Feng hadn’t discovered any problem with the gala from the information.

While Lin Feng was reviewing the documents, he suddenly heard the phone ringing. He picked up and saw it was a call from Cao Ying… Lin Feng answered without hesitation and casually chuckled, “Hehe, my dear, finally remembered to call me?”

Lin Feng originally thought Cao Ying would quickly respond with either mock reproach or tacit acceptance of his joke, but surprisingly, after a few seconds of silence, another person’s voice suddenly came through…

“Lin Feng, it’s me!”

The voice was timid, a bit soft, clearly younger compared to Cao Ying’s mature and intellectual tone, and the person seemed a bit emotional, making the voice sound a bit weaker… But regardless, Lin Feng still recognized it as Li Liping’s voice!

This startled Lin Feng; he had assumed the number must be Cao Ying’s call, not expecting it to be from Cao Ying’s cousin… Thinking about this, Lin Feng got even more scared, thankfully, it was the communicative Li Liping, imagining if it were Cao Tiannan, hehe… Seems I’ll need to be more careful answering calls from Cao Ying.

“Ahem… Senior, it’s you, what’s made you suddenly find the time to call me?” Lin Feng cleared his throat, pretending to forget what he had just called her.

“This is something my cousin asked me to inquire about, she wants to know if you’ll attend the charity gala organized by Fashion Elite Group tomorrow night?” Li Liping didn’t delve into Lin Feng’s previous address and asked about his plans for the following evening.

Indeed, Li Liping and Cao Ying were attending the charity gala… Lin Feng silently commended his foresight and then lightly laughed while saying over the phone, “I wasn’t initially inclined to attend such events, but you folks will surely want to check out the excitement, right? I’ll go protect you all then…”

By “you all,” Lin Feng wasn’t referring only to Li Liping and Cao Ying but also included Su Zi, Ning Aoxue, and perhaps even Xu Jing and Tang Rou…

However, at this moment, on the phone’s other end, Li Liping was unaware of this, thinking Lin Feng’s words were directed at her, causing a slight tremble in her voice, “Lin Feng, you’re saying you didn’t plan on attending but now changed your mind just to protect my cousin and me?”

Li Liping’s mood suddenly turned radiant.

“Uh, sort of…” Lin Feng couldn’t bear to reveal the truth to Li Liping and offered a vague answer.

“Then… let’s get in touch tomorrow afternoon!” Li Liping seemed to gather a lot of courage to finish saying this sentence, and without waiting for Lin Feng’s reply, she hung up the phone…

What a headache! Lin Feng glanced at the computer files, finding nothing special, so he recorded them all and went to sleep.

The next morning, Lin Feng was dragged out of bed by the exuberant Su Zi.

Su Zi’s purpose for dragging Lin Feng up was… to try on outfits!
