Urban All-Round Master

What started as just a joke, Nangong Bing actually went and changed into another outfit, ready to go out to eat with him... Left with no choice, Lin Zifeng could only drive and accompany her for a meal.

He couldn’t be bothered to go back to Yanjing for now; with Beiming Yu and the Ability Group watching his back, there shouldn’t be any problem. According to the news, Su Yueying had already agreed to take charge of Huayu Group’s charity foundation in Yanjing, which really saved Lin Zifeng a lot of trouble. Over here in Zhonghai, the charity organization had been running with great verve these days, all thanks to Lin Chuqing and Hua Yudie’s help. It was doing pretty well, and Lin Zifeng barely needed to worry about it. Right now his main focus was the newly established company in Jiangzhou. This new type of potion from Liu Ruyan had really caught his attention.

So, in the car, Lin Zifeng told Nangong Bing everything that had happened with Liu Ruyan in Jiangzhou.

With that business-genius brain of hers, Nangong Bing only needed to roll her eyes once and she’d already thought everything through inside out. Even after Lin Zifeng had racked his brains for ages, he still wasn’t as thorough as she was.

”Since Ruyan’s decided to go into medical, then just let her go all out and do it boldly. Anyway, with Huayu Group’s current strength, there shouldn’t be much of a problem. It’ll also give Ruyan a chance to make a name for herself in Jiangzhou. All you need to do is keep her personal safety covered.”

”What about that new potion, Beauty Powder? What’s your take on it?” Lin Zifeng really wanted to know what Nangong Bing thought. After all, even a complete outsider like him thought this Beauty Powder was pretty amazing. In the future it was bound to stir up a lot of conflict in Huaxia’s business world. By then, Huayu Group could just rely on Beauty Powder to ruthlessly rake in money from those United States bastards, and bleed those Fusang dogs dry. Sell a pack of Beauty Powder for five yuan in Huaxia, then jack the price sky-high in the United States!

Ship it over to Fusang and sell it for a thousand, ten thousand a pack—so long as the product worked, Lin Zifeng wasn’t worried about not finding channels to sell it.

These days, the one thing there’s no shortage of is rich people; throwing money around like crazy is nothing new to them.

”It’s very good. If it’s used properly, of course we can make a fortune. But, our goal is no longer just making money. I hope we can put the money we earn into our charity organizations. That’s where our real focus should be.” Nangong Bing’s moist eyes flicked to him first, then shifted to the pitch-black night outside the car window.

She wasn’t like before anymore, always fighting to be the best. In the past, she wanted to build Tianyu up into a world-class company. But now that she was pregnant, about to become a mother, her bigger wish was simply for her child to live peacefully and happily.

Because Lin Zifeng had killed too many people, she had come to believe even more in things like Karma. There was always this vague unease in her heart. So when Lin Zifeng first brought up the idea of a charity organization, Nangong Bing had pretty much agreed without a second thought.

It was a good deed, and also a way to repay Karma. Besides, after going through countless brushes with death, money was no longer what she valued most.

For a person to live well is already very rare. What’s the use of caring too much about money? Once someone dies, all that money is just empty stuff～

”Looks like Your Holiness, your state of mind has undergone a major upgrade.” Lin Zifeng tilted his head and gave her a slight grin. And honestly, his thinking was very close to hers.

The reason he’d gone to all this trouble to set up charity organizations was, first, to win the people’s hearts, and second, to accumulate good karma. It was a good thing, worth doing.

She shot him a sideways glare in annoyance. The moment she thought of that fragrant bowl of instant noodles, her anger flared up again...

Soon...

Lin Zifeng brought her to the downtown area. In all the nooks and crannies of the city there were plenty of food streets.

But thinking about hygiene, Lin Zifeng hesitated. Should he really bring her to eat at a place like this?

”Wow, that smells amazing. Is that a food street?” Nangong Bing’s sense of smell was insanely sharp. She pointed toward a food street they hadn’t passed yet, and the corners of her mouth were practically drooling.

On top of that, her stomach had been empty all day, so it was growling nonstop.

”You sure you want to eat in a grimy place like that?” Lin Zifeng shot her a meaningful look. In his eyes, this Empress Dowager of his was usually picky as hell.

”Other people can eat there, how come I, Nangong Bing, can’t?” Nangong Bing pouted, her dewy eyes narrowing as she unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door, then turned back, squinting as she giggled, ”If you’re not going, then I’ll go by myself.”

”Alright～”

Lin Zifeng shook his head with a helpless smile. Watching her cheerful back as she walked step by step toward the food street, he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

In just over half a year, Nangong Bing had changed so much. From a high-and-mighty, untouchable Goddess to this easygoing, down-to-earth woman—it was almost unimaginable...

...

”Boss, what’s this?”

Once she stepped into the food street, Nangong Bing turned into a curious baby, sweeping her gaze everywhere. Looking around this stall and that, buying something to eat here, grabbing a bite of something there, she was just like a little kid.

Most of the customers on this food street were white-collar workers. After a tiring day, the night was their Heaven.

And tonight, a goddess-tier beauty showed up. Even though these stall owners had seen countless pretty office ladies, Nangong Bing still made their eyes light up. She was simply too gorgeous.

Gorgeous was one thing, but the key was that Lin Zifeng was trailing after her like a little lackey, which made all those male animals feel seriously displeased deep down.

”Boss, I want stinky tofu, give me ten skewers!”

”No, no, boss, don’t listen to her nonsense. Just two skewers, two are enough.” Lin Zifeng hurriedly stepped up to stop the stall owner. Ten skewers of stinky tofu were probably just a spur-of-the-moment craving. If she didn’t finish them later, he’d be the one to suffer.

”Didn’t you say I could eat whatever I wanted?” Being stopped like that, Nangong Bing was quite annoyed.

”Your Majesty, we’re eating under the premise that we can actually finish it. Besides, this food street is huge. Don’t you want to save some room to try other stuff?” Lin Zifeng patiently tried to persuade her.

”Fine then, tonight This Palace will just eat. Little Linzi, you better have the money ready for me.”

”Yes～ your humble servant will definitely make sure Your Holiness eats her fill and eats happily～” He plastered on a fawning smile. Serves him right for not letting her eat instant noodles; now he’d ended up as her servant. Goddammit, servant it is then. For the sake of his son, for the sake of his future—he’d tough it out!

Very soon, more and more people gathered on this food street. From just a steady flow of passersby, it eventually became packed and jammed. Luckily, the two of them had arrived early, otherwise they really might not have gotten anything good to eat.

With a great beauty like Nangong Bing around, all those self-conscious, socially awkward guys naturally made way for her, letting her buy and eat first. Eating and playing all rolled into one, Nangong Bing started having the time of her life.
