Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 470 Childhood Sweethearts

"It's so magical, it's simply a divine weapon!" Wang Chudong exclaimed.

"Since you are such an excellent musician, please play a few more songs for us now that you have the Fuxi Qin."

"No problem." Zhao Ziqing agreed happily.

"Okay, stop fiddling with your precious piano and eat first. The food is getting cold." Lin Fan reminded.

Zhao Ziqing rolled her eyes at him, then sat down at the dining table with Wang Chudong to enjoy breakfast.

After the meal, the three of them went off to do their own things.

On the way, Lin Fan received a call from his master Chen Luobai.

"Boy, have you forgotten about my teacher?" A slightly reproachful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"How is that possible? I've been thinking about you these days and was planning to find time to visit you." Lin Fan explained quickly.

Even Zhao Ziqing couldn't help but look at him after hearing this, feeling that there was a lot of water in his words.

"Really? You don't have to come to see me. As long as you are willing to learn carving, I will be grateful." Chen Luobai obviously didn't completely believe it.

"It's better to start today than to wait for another day. Why don't we start today?" Lin Fan suggested.

Lin Fan turned to look at Zhao Ziqing, his eyes questioning, "Please wait a moment. I'll ask Mr. Zhao if he has any other plans."

Zhao Ziqing answered directly: "No special arrangements, just come back before get off work." She completely ignored Lin Fan's eye contact.

Then, Lin Fan said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhao, this is no problem."

Chen Luobai was very happy after hearing this: "Since Mr. Zhao has agreed, why are you still hesitating?"

"Well, in that case, I will come to visit you." Faced with Mr. Chen's enthusiastic invitation, Lin Fan had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, remember to bring Mr. Zhao with you. The top-quality jade carving is almost finished, and I want you to witness it together." Chen Luobai added.

"I understand, Mr. Chen." Zhao Ziqing accepted it happily.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan looked at Zhao Ziqing and asked, "Aren't we family?"

Zhao Ziqing calmly explained, "It's good for you to learn more, and it's also good for the company if you become a master sooner."

"Even if they are our own people, we cannot give up the interests we should fight for." Lin Fan said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Thank you for your understanding." Zhao Ziqing nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Lin Fan went to Chen Luobai's place and bought some gifts on the way.

When he saw Chen Luobai, the old man smiled and said, "You're here, no need to bring anything."

Lin Fan responded wittily, "This is a token of Zhao Ziqing's love."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luobai's face immediately broke into a smile: "You are so lucky to have found such a good partner."

"I am also very lucky to have met a master like you." Lin Fan spoke sweetly, but in fact, he rarely showed up since he became your disciple.

"Don't just use sweet words to coax me, save them to please Mr. Zhao." Chen Luobai said with a smile and stood up to lead the way.

"Come on, follow me to the studio."

On the way, Lin Fan asked curiously, "Why are you alone today? Where's Second Brother?"

"He is out and will be back in the afternoon." Chen Luobai answered briefly.

Entering the studio, Chen Luobai prepared to impart some extremely valuable knowledge to Lin Fan: "Today I will teach you some secret techniques that even your senior brothers only learned after many years."

"You are so confident in handing over such an important skill to me?" Lin Fan was a little surprised.

"I hope you can reach the Grandmaster level or even higher as soon as possible." Chen Luobai said with anticipation.

After watching a demonstration, Lin Fan showed amazing learning ability.

"You are simply a natural sculptor!" Chen Luobai's face turned red with excitement.

Lin Fan smiled modestly: "Master, my memory might actually be more useful in other areas."

Lin Fan said hurriedly, "There's no future in the carving business."

Chen Luobai's face suddenly turned gloomy.

“Why is there no future for carving?”

"Look, even the best in the carving industry, like you, Master, can't make much money. Can this be considered promising?" Lin Fan asked in return.

Chen Luobai explained, "We can't simply measure value with money. The word 'prospects' actually encompasses many more layers of meaning, such as pursuing dreams."

"But for ordinary people like me, the future means making money." Lin Fan shrugged.

"Parents always tell their children that only by studying hard can they have a good future. This usually means finding a good job and making a lot of money, rather than realizing any dreams." Chen Luobai was speechless for a moment.

"Although I feel that carving doesn't have much future, but now that I have chosen you as my teacher, I will definitely try my best to become a master as soon as possible." Lin Fan did not reject carving and devoted himself to it, even making faster progress than before.

"Very good, keep it up." Chen Luobai nodded in praise. He had wanted to motivate his apprentice with money, but he found that this young man was not short of money at all.

Around noon, Ares called to ask if the gods could leave China and when it would be convenient to meet.

"Tomorrow, I'm busy today."

Lin Fan lit a cigarette and sighed, "It took so long to recover? I thought they had given up on treatment."

"No, they've been well for a long time, but their pride makes it difficult for them to face you," Ares replied.

"Even if they are gods, they are just my subordinates now." Lin Fan said seriously.

"If they feel humiliated, tell them that not everyone is qualified to be my person. They will be proud of it in the future."

"I will convey it to them word for word," Ares promised.

After the call ended, Lin Fan continued to concentrate on carving. Chen Luobai was very satisfied with this. Seeing his apprentice so focused, he felt that he had accepted a good disciple.

At lunch time, Lin Fan cooked himself and had a few drinks with Chen Luobai, which made the chef smile from ear to ear.

In the afternoon, Shen Wei called and invited Lin Fan to attend the evening banquet.

"There's a party tonight, are you coming too?" Shen Wei asked.

"What kind of party is this?" Lin Fan was a little surprised.

"It's just a social event for insiders. The participants are all from at least second-rate families."

"It sounds boring. Why would Zhao Ziqing agree to go to a place like this? This is not her style." Lin Fan asked in confusion.

"Indeed, she wouldn't come under normal circumstances." Shen Wei said with a smile.

Shen Wei smiled and said, "Tonight is different. A big boss has returned. He personally convened a party, and almost no one dares not to come."

"Big boss? Even Zhao Ziqing has to give him face?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, looking a little curious.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao has to call him 'brother', so he naturally has to give him enough face." Shen Wei paused here.

“They used to have a good relationship…”

"Isn't it another love rival?" Lin Fan asked with a raised eyebrow.

“We’re probably not rivals in love, but calling them childhood sweethearts is quite appropriate.

"Lu Zhen was hailed as 'Ancheng's No. 1 Young Master' ten years ago. I was still in school then, and he was already very successful," Shen Wei said seriously.
