Lin Yuansheng and his group were traveling in a black business car. Unlike the self-driving vehicles driven by DiDi Ma, this business car was identical to earthly business cars, but its fuel was a special liquid derived from a unique contract beast.
The car cabin was spacious and bright, and several people sat inside, drinking red wine.
Lin Yuansheng raised his wine glass.
"Come, come, everyone, let's toast to today's victory!"
Chen Zhanpeng raised his glass with a smile, deliberately moving closer to clink glasses with Lu Fei.
He said loudly, "This is all thanks to classmate Lu Fei. If it weren't for his impassioned speech, that old fox Zhao Xiu wouldn't have been driven to a desperate leap!" He had hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to address Lu Fei this way. In front of everyone, he couldn't possibly call the other person Elder Lu, could he?
"Indeed, indeed! Classmate Lu Fei is not only gifted in beast taming, but his eloquence is also unparalleled!"
Zhou Nanfeng echoed. He spoke from the heart; he was a straightforward person, and even flattery wouldn't come across as awkwardly as it did for Chen Zhanpeng.
Originally, his intention to curry favor with Lu Fei was solely because of the backing of Chu Huainan. However, after Zhou Shuyi finished her training and recounted her experiences, coupled with their shared struggle to overcome this difficulty in court, Zhou Nanfeng felt a flicker of respect for this fourteen-year-old youth.
Lu Fei chuckled.
"President Chen, Director Lin, Chairman Zhou, you are all too kind. Without everyone's help today, I probably wouldn't even have had the chance to appear in court."
"I toast to all of you!"
Lu Fei picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but admire the young man even more.
Ke Xin timidly raised her wine glass and finished half of her red wine, her cheeks instantly flushing. She had been pulled into the car by Lu Fei and felt uneasy sitting among so many important figures.
After everyone finished their wine,
Lu Fei let out a long sigh.
"Good wine!"
He looked around at everyone and slowly got to the point.
"You are all my seniors and respected figures in Cang Town. Today, I actually have a small request. I'm not sure if I should speak it."
Chen Zhanpeng patted his chest.
"Just say it if you need me for anything!"
Lin Yuansheng and Zhou Nanfeng secretly glanced at Chen Zhanpeng.
You're being too obvious... President Chen...
Among the influential figures present in Cang Town, only the Chief Justice of Cang Town, Chen Miao, was unaware of Lu Fei's relationship with Chu Huainan. His brow was furrowed like a ball of cotton.
Undeniably, the young man's performance in court today was brilliant. He was not at all nervous, his words were clear, and his arguments were well-founded.
Even so, he was just a student. What was Chen Zhanpeng's status? He was the number one person in Cang Town!
Chen Zhanpeng came to his senses, realizing he had spoken out of turn.
He chuckled and said, "Hahaha, you know, I've always placed importance on nurturing the younger generation. Seeing how much potential classmate Lu Fei has today, I couldn't help but want to develop him as a role model. From now on, the youth of Cang Town will follow classmate Lu Fei as an example!"
Lin Yuansheng and Zhou Nanfeng chuckled.
They thought to themselves: Are you trying to nurture the youth, or are you trying to be nurtured by Chu Huainan!
Lu Fei spoke at the opportune moment.
"It's really not a big deal. I've recently invented a daily necessity, and after I've refined it, I plan to promote it to the public. I hope you can all stand by me at the product launch event as the chief trial officers for this batch of products!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied.
Zhou Nanfeng immediately waved his hand, a look of "no need" on his face.
"Classmate Lu Fei, if you need money, just tell me. Given your shared experiences with Shuyi, why would you trouble yourself with selling things?"
Zhou Nanfeng was a true tycoon. In his eyes, any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem at all. If the other party was willing to accept his money, it would be even better!
"Ah~ Chairman Zhou, you can't say that. Classmate Lu Fei is young but has his own aspirations. We should encourage him!"
He looked at Lu Fei, appearing to listen intently.
"What good thing is classmate Lu Fei planning to sell?"
"You understand me, President Chen!"
Lu Fei seized the opportunity, also flattering Chen Zhanpeng. The latter's face immediately lit up with a happy smile.
"The situation is like this: recently, I've been training with my contract beast, and after each training session, I'm covered in sweat. However, when I shower, the body washes don't clean me thoroughly; my skin still feels oily."
"So, it occurred to me, wouldn't it be wonderful if I could invent something that removes sweat residue?"
Lin Yuansheng mused.
"Yes, that's true. Many students have also mentioned this problem, especially the girls. They are generally more delicate and can't stand this sticky feeling all over their bodies."
But soon, a look of difficulty appeared on his face.
"However, no body wash on the market can remove sweat residue. So many companies that produce body washes have researched this, but none have been able to create one that can remove sweat residue."
He looked at Lu Fei.
"Does classmate Lu Fei have his own idea?"
Lin Yuansheng thought Lu Fei was just having a whim and planning to hint at his intentions to the others, with the ultimate goal of seeking their help.
Lu Fei smiled:
"To be honest, I have already developed this product. I've named it Shower Gel!"
"Shower Gel?"
Everyone uttered the name in unison.
"Teachers, Lu Fei has indeed developed Shower Gel. I've even tried it. Not only is it fragrant, but my whole body feels smooth after using it!"
Ke Xin, as the chief trial officer, excitedly shared her user experience.
The others sniffed the air in unison. Since they had gotten into the car, they had noticed a faint fragrance. They hadn't paid attention to where the scent came from, but now, sniffing carefully, they realized it was Ke Xin's scent!
Lin Yuansheng nodded thoughtfully.
"When does classmate Lu Fei plan to launch it?"
Lu Fei hesitated, "It might take about another month. I still need to refine the product and simultaneously produce more complementary products!"
The others agreed with a nod.
Lu Fei cupped his hands and said:
"Then I thank you all in advance, my seniors and teachers!"
After a journey of more than an hour, Lu Fei finally returned home.
These past few days, Brother Ji and Tie Tou Wa had been left at home. The two master and disciple were still practicing in the courtyard at this hour.
Compared to two days ago, Tie Tou Wa's sword techniques had improved significantly.
Has this guy actually learned the Nine Swords of Dugu... Lu Fei couldn't help but sigh as he watched.
Lu Fei continued towards his room. He still needed to consider everyone's livelihood. If this batch of Shower Gel was successfully launched, they would never have to worry about food and clothing again!
"Brother Ji! Come quickly and help me. Whether I can achieve financial freedom depends on these next few days!"
