The interview ended successfully. The media personnel left with great satisfaction, waving goodbye to Li Qingfeng one by one.
Watching their receding backs, Li Qingfeng turned to Yu Jun.
"Uncle Yu, what's the situation with this Zhao Shengqian?"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's question, Yu Jun smiled and said, "Actually, it all stems from an agreement!"
"An agreement?"
Li Qingfeng asked in confusion.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Yu Jun told a story.
It was an ancient story, about a child who lost his parents at a young age and was born during a famine, on the verge of starvation.
Just then, a middle-aged man practicing medicine saw him and brought him back to his hometown.
From then on, he followed the medic.
The man arranged for him to work at a beef noodle shop in town, where he became an apprentice and made a living.
As time went by, he finally achieved mastery and took over the shop. He ran it for thirty years.
But one year, the medic suddenly fell ill and came to him, asking for a favor, which he readily agreed to and has kept ever since!
Thirty years of the lease have passed, with only ten years remaining.
But today, something interesting happened: the place where the shop is located was designated for government demolition.
A fifty-square-meter shop in this small town would be worth at most 100,000 yuan.
Especially since Yu Jun's rent twenty years ago was only a few hundred yuan, incomparable to the current rates.
This Zhao Shengqian was the son of the landlord. Seeing the demolition plans, he insisted that Yu Jun move out.
But Yu Jun, bound by the agreement, refused to leave!
"So Uncle Yu, your agreement was made with my grandfather?"
Hearing this, Li Qingfeng gradually understood what Yu Jun's agreement was.
It was that his grandfather had asked him to wait here for the normal him to return.
Seeing that Li Qingfeng had understood his meaning, Yu Jun nodded with a smile.
He had nothing to hide from his clever nephew.
"So, the landlord's visit today was actually unnecessary? You were going to find a new shop when you saw me anyway?"
Looking at Li Qingfeng, who was a bit stunned, Yu Jun smiled and agreed.
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed. Had he been too ruthless just now?
"Don't worry, Xiao Feng, you did nothing wrong. You can't be soft-hearted with people like that!"
"Rather let the world betray me, than I betray the world!"
Yu Jun said to Li Qingfeng, quoting Cao Cao's famous saying from ancient times.
As a man of ambition, one cannot be bogged down by trivial matters.
Guided by Yu Jun, Li Qingfeng nodded cluelessly. He didn't truly understand Yu Jun's meaning then.
However, seeing his serious demeanor, he still diligently took notes.
"Alright, it's already afternoon. Hurry home!"
Hearing Yu Jun's reminder, Li Qingfeng finally realized how much time had passed, and it was already afternoon.
Looking at Yu Jun, who seemed a bit worried, Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "It's so late, Uncle Yu, I need to go home!"
"Are there still cars going back now?"
Seeing Yu Jun's concern, Li Qingfeng explained that he had come by a villager's tractor.
Hearing this, Yu Jun finally relaxed. He knew Xu Wu and often ate his beef noodles.
"Then go quickly! Don't keep them waiting!"
"Goodbye, Uncle Yu!"
Waving goodbye to Yu Jun, Li Qingfeng left the shop.
Watching Li Qingfeng leave, Yu Jun fell into a reverie. After a long while, he slowly said.
"Old friend, don't worry! I'll risk my life to ensure Xiao Feng is safe!"
His current demeanor suggested he had made a firm resolution.
Turning around, he closed the door of the beef noodle shop and took down the signboard.
Tomorrow, a new shop.
He had already tidied everything up. Meanwhile, Li Qingfeng was rushing to the edge of the town.
Panting, he ran to the roadside. Xu Wu had been waiting for a long time, as evidenced by the half-eaten watermelon beside him.
Seeing Li Qingfeng, he happily went to meet him.
"Xiao Feng, you're back!"
"Sorry, Uncle Wu, something came up, making you wait!"
"Bah, what's there to be formal about with Uncle Wu! Come on, let's go home!"
Xu Wu said casually and got into the driver's seat of the tractor.
Seeing Xu Wu's readiness, Li Qingfeng smiled and got in the vehicle.
As he sat down, Xu Wu started the tractor with an electric ignition.
"Vroom vroom…"
A rumbling sound echoed as the tractor vibrated.
With a pull of the lever by Xu Wu, this antique tractor chugged along the town's country road.
Although the speed was not fast, they roamed until dark before catching sight of Mopan Gou Village.
"Uncle Wu, we're home!"
"Yes, Xiao Feng. I'll drop you at the village entrance. Uncle Wu needs to go further up the mountain!"
"Okay!"
Xu Wu stopped at the road entrance of Mopan Gou Village and watched Li Qingfeng walk towards his family's medical clinic.
"Uncle Wu, be careful on the road!"
"Don't worry!"
Xu Wu stayed at the orchard at night, so he drove up the mountain every day.
With the rumbling engine, Xu Wu ascended the mountain under the starlight.
Watching him, Li Qingfeng felt a little touched. At this hour, Xu Wu would usually be having dinner, but today he had waited for him.
Li Qingfeng returned to the outside of the medical clinic. It was completely dark now.
In the dim light, he thought he saw a person standing in front of the clinic. He crept closer.
He assumed it was someone sent by Wu Henjian again, intending to cause trouble at the clinic. So, he tiptoed behind the figure.
Before the person could notice, he pounced.
Perhaps Li Qingfeng's appearance was too sudden, the person was knocked down by him. Li Qingfeng also instinctively grabbed downwards.
He shouted, "Who are you? What are your intentions coming to my house?"
The person underneath said nothing, and the air fell into a deathly silence.
Just then, Li Qingfeng finally realized that his hand felt very warm, like he was holding something soft like cotton.
He unconsciously touched it and felt it was something.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a part of the human body.
"Damn it!"
He exclaimed in shock.
Indeed, from beneath him, a woman's voice rang out.
"You're crushing me!"
