Zheng Bowen also did not expect Lin Feng to appear here. When he saw Lin Feng eating all the pastries here, he felt disgusted as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Just as everyone was preparing to watch the Zheng family make a fool of themselves, Zheng Bowen, who always liked to prepare for everything, smiled calmly: "Mr. Phil, I apologize, I didn't expect the pastries to be so popular and to be in short supply!"
"But I know you like Western food, so I've specially prepared a Western restaurant for you. Shall I take you there to experience it!"
Zheng Bowen showed a gentle smile, which not only highlighted his composure but also his thoughtfulness towards Mr. Phil.
Even Phil, hearing Zheng Bowen's humble words, felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze: "Alright, Mr. Zheng, it's up to you!"
Zheng Bowen smiled faintly, made a gesture of invitation, and led Phil and his entourage to the Western restaurant on the second floor.
As he left, Zheng Bowen did not forget to give Lin Feng a sinister look, clearly telling Lin Feng that he had noted this matter.
Lin Feng was unconcerned. Zheng Bowen had already harbored resentment towards him, so one more time wouldn't matter.
However, Lin Feng was somewhat surprised that Little Phil had come to Qingcheng.
When he was abroad, the Phil family had always been his most loyal servants. The Phil family's current standing also owed a lot to his support.
Of course, at that time, the Phil family was still under Old Phil's leadership, and only Old Phil recognized him.
Now that Little Phil had taken on the family's responsibilities, it was normal that he didn't recognize him.
"Little brother, you always manage to surprise me. If you haven't eaten enough, I'll take you for Western food!"
Tang Wan walked up to Lin Feng with a graceful smile.
The Zheng family being played by Lin Feng was also a good thing for her Tang family.
She couldn't help but look forward to what other surprises Lin Feng would bring her next.
Lin Feng did not refuse Tang Wan's invitation. He wanted to see the purpose behind the Zheng family's efforts to win over Little Phil.
Following Tang Wan to the Western restaurant on the second floor, Zheng Bowen had already led Little Phil and others to their seats.
Tang Wan arrived late, bringing Lin Feng with her, and introduced him: "Mr. Phil, this is Lin Feng, a good friend of our Tang family. He'll be dining with us, I hope you don't mind?"
"Why would I mind? Ms. Tang's friends are everyone's friends. Please sit!"
Little Phil displayed the unique grace and gentlemanly demeanor of Westerners, gesturing with his hand.
When Zheng Bowen saw Tang Wan bring Lin Feng along, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pointed to Yang Ming, who was sitting at the piano in front, and said, "Mr. Phil, this is Yang Ming, my good friend and also Xiao Wan's cousin. He's here specifically to play your favorite piano pieces for you today!"
Zheng Bowen introduced them at the opportune moment.
Yang Ming also courteously placed his hand on his chest and performed a Western greeting.
Then, he placed his fingers on the piano keys and began to play elegantly.
As the piano music started, steaks and red wine were served by the waiters.
Everyone ate steak, drank red wine, and listened to the beautiful piano music, all with expressions of enjoyment.
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Yang's piano skills are excellent, I like it very much!"
Phil praised.
At this moment, Sun Pengfei had a sudden idea and asked, "Mr. Lin, how do you find this piano performance?"
"I'd rather not comment! It wouldn't be respectful to others!"
Lin Feng smiled, having immediately seen through Sun Pengfei's intention to use a borrowed knife to kill.
Just then, Zheng Bowen chimed in: "Mr. Lin is right. Piano is an advanced art, and without a certain level of accomplishment, one can hardly discern its quality!"
"Brother Pengfei, you're putting him on the spot!"
Zheng Bowen sneered repeatedly, as he never believed that a vulgar person like Lin Feng could understand piano music.
Just as Yang Ming finished his piece and sat down, he became interested upon hearing them discussing his piano artistry.
"Mr. Lin, please speak your mind. Music knows no distinction between experts and amateurs. I am also very curious about your evaluation of my piano skills!"
Yang Ming smiled faintly, but there was a hint of malice in his eyes.
He had always been unable to understand why Xia Xue would be attracted to an ordinary person like Lin Feng!
Therefore, this time, he wanted to see what was so special about Lin Feng!
"Captain Yang, are you sure you want me to say?"
Lin Feng frowned, feigning a hesitant expression.
"Speak!"
Yang Ming's attitude was resolute.
"Alright then, I think your piano skills are garbage!"
Lin Feng's words were stunning, leaving no room for Yang Ming's dignity.
As soon as he finished speaking, not only did Yang Ming's face instantly turn as ugly as if he had stepped in dog feces, but everyone else was also greatly shocked by Lin Feng.
No one had expected Lin Feng to use the word "garbage" to describe Yang Ming's piano skills.
Tang Wan was also surprised and even a little embarrassed.
After all, Yang Ming was from her Tang family. Although he was there to add prestige for Zheng Bowen, he still represented some of the Tang family's face.
Now that Lin Feng had belittled Yang Ming so much, it was no different from belittling the Tang family.
Sun Pengfei and Sun Zheng smiled without speaking, watching the drama unfold between the Zheng and Tang families as if they were sitting on a mountain.
After a moment of stunned silence, Yang Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Mr. Lin, you truly don't understand music at all. I'm at an eighth-grade level in piano, and you say my playing is garbage?"
"Yes, young friend Lin Feng, Mr. Phil just said that Yang Ming's piano skills are good. By denigrating him like this, aren't you denying Mr. Phil's words?"
Sun Zheng seized the opportunity to target Lin Feng.
In his opinion, everyone at this table, as long as they were not from the Sun family, were enemies.
Lin Feng's closeness to Tang Wan indicated that Lin Feng represented Tang Wan, so targeting Lin Feng was equivalent to targeting Tang Wan.
It had to be said that Sun Zheng was indeed cunning.
As soon as he said this, Tang Wan clearly sensed a hint of hostility.
"I'm not denying anyone, I'm just telling the truth!"
Lin Feng remained calm and composed in the face of danger.
"Mr. Lin, if I understand your words correctly, your attainments in music should be quite high?"
Phil asked with a dry smile.
"It's alright. I used to play the erhu in the countryside. I was hired for all sorts of events in ten villages around, and they said my erhu skills could be called world-class."
Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"Played the erhu?"
Everyone suddenly found it a bit amusing.
The erhu and the piano seemed quite different.
Furthermore, what qualification did a erhu player have to evaluate a pianist? Wasn't this nonsensical?
"Mr. Zheng, what is the erhu? Does it sound good?"
Phil became interested. He rarely came to the East and was full of curiosity about many Eastern things.
"Whether it sounds good or not, I'm not sure. Since Mr. Lin is so proud, let him play a piece. We're all curious to hear what kind of heavenly music the person who called piano playing garbage can produce!"
Zheng Bowen sneered and turned to order his subordinates to prepare an erhu.
Since Lin Feng wanted to compete with his Zheng family, he would let Lin Feng humiliate himself!
