Zhu Minglang and Luo Shaoyan entered the banquet.
There weren't many people, only about one or two hundred.
The banquet was very exquisite and extravagant. Fine wine and engraved wine jugs were specially placed on small candlesticks. The wine tasted warm and sweet, and the texture was very good.
Luo Shaoyan didn't lie to himself about this.
The wine was very good.
The man was already dressed neatly, and he looked as if today was his big day. He was certain that the woman he chose would amaze everyone.
This man was Lin Gong. His appearance was not bad, and his behavior didn't seem unreliable. It was probably because he was facing his own guests.
Zhu Minglang and Luo Shaoyan had already drunk a few cups of wine, but the woman still hadn't appeared.
After toasting a few rounds, Lin Gong's expression wasn't as good as before.
"Women are usually not satisfied with their makeup, so it takes a long time. Fourth Uncle, please wait patiently." Lin Gong smiled, showing his respect for the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Even so, who would let us wait for so long? Which family is this girl from? She doesn't know her manners," an old lady said.
"Good things come with setbacks. It's rare that our Lin Gong is willing to settle down and start a family."
"Yes, actually I also want to see which family's girl is so lucky."
The night was getting darker. The guests had already drunk three rounds, but the woman still hadn't appeared.
If they waited any longer, the banquet would be over.
Lin Gong's expression became ugly.
He looked at the open door, and his expression became gloomy.
"Young Master Lin, why don't we go and catch her?" At this time, a dandy beside Lin Gong whispered.
"Hmph, she knows the consequences. I don't believe she has the guts. But you still have to warn her. If she doesn't appear before the bell rings, I will make her regret it! "Lin Gong said.
"No problem. There are women who don't know what's good for them in this world." The dandy snorted.
…
The dandy dandy quickly walked out of the mansion.
Zhu Minglang and Luo Shaoyan were drinking. The dandy dandy saw Luo Shaoyan and walked over.
"Luo Shaoyan, let's go. Follow me to do something," Li Bo said.
"Don't tell me he's going to kidnap you. I can't do such a wicked thing. It's already so late. If he doesn't come, it means he really doesn't have that intention," Luo Shaoyan said with a smile.
"What are you saying? Do you want to see Lin Gong lose face as well? Don't worry, I'm just going to discuss it with her. Even if she's not willing, she'll still have to show her face and make things clear. "Li Bo said.
"Alright, I'll go with you. However, I won't agree if you want to use violence," Luo Shaoyan said.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely invite her over. Lin Gong just wants to say a few words to her. If she still doesn't agree after that, I'll treat her to a banquet. It's not a big deal." Li Bo continued.
Luo Shaoyan nodded. He put down the wine cup and said to Zhu Minglang, "Drink some more. I'll be back soon."
"Are we going to snatch women from them?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"I'm not that kind of person. I'm just worried that Li Bo would do something like that. That's why I followed him. Brother, don't worry. I'm so upright that even the old granny praises me! "Luo Shaoyan said.
Zhu Minglang nodded.
Zhu Minglang wasn't too clear about the details. Therefore, he couldn't tell if the woman was being coy or if she really didn't have any intention of being forced to such an occasion.
… …
He sat there for a long time.
Zhu Minglang didn't see the great educator Lin Zhao.
It was strange. His son's matter was so important, but as a father, he didn't pay much attention. He didn't see the great educator Lin Zhao at the banquet.
It was already late. Zhu Minglang didn't want to wait any longer. He asked around and found out that the great educator Lin was in the study in the backyard.
Zhu Minglang went to visit him. Obviously, there were many people who wanted to see the great educator Lin. Zhu Minglang waited outside the study for a long time.
Finally, the steward made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Zhu Minglang could talk to the great educator Lin Zhao through the door. As for whether the great educator Lin Zhao would answer or open the door, it depended on what Zhu Minglang said.
Many of the guests were relatives of the Lin family. As the great educator, Lin Zhao was second only to the deputy dean of the Dragon Training High School. As the tutor of the teaching institute, he had great power and influence.
Many relatives and friends wanted to use the great educator Lin Zhao's relationship to get some positions, places, and resources.
Of course, many of them were refused the door.
"You want to enter the Dragon Training High School, right? It's useless to rely on connections. The great educator only cares about real ability and knowledge." The steward curled his lips and said to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang walked up the steps and was about to knock on the door when he heard the steward's contemptuous words. He could not help but shake his head.
It seemed that many people wanted to use connections to enter the Dragon Training High School, but the places were very limited.
"Great educator, do you remember Coral Island …" Zhu Minglang approached the door and said to the inside.
The steward almost laughed out loud.
Which person who came to find the great educator in private did not first express their respect and praise, and then state their identity? They did not understand basic etiquette and flattery, yet they wanted to get the great educator's appreciation?
"Da da da!!!"
Hurried footsteps were heard. Soon, the closed door of the study was opened. Lin Zhao, the Great Educator, was surprised and delighted. He even saluted as a peer and said politely, "Your Excellency, you're really here. You came to my mansion. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
"I just freeloaded a banquet and was a guest at the great educator Lin's residence." Zhu Minglang said with a smile.
"Why do you have frost on your shoulder? Did you wait outside for a long time?" asked the great educator Lin.
"I waited for a while. There are quite a lot of people who visit the great educator in private." Zhu Minglang replied.
"Steward!!" The great educator Lin's face immediately sank. He stood in front of the door, looked down at the steward under the steps, and said coldly: "Didn't I tell you that I would have an important guest come to visit in the near future? I told you in detail. Why didn't you recognize him?"
The steward suddenly sweated profusely.
He looked carefully at Zhu Minglang. He was indeed very similar to the great educator Lin's description. However, he was not wearing a face mask!
Moreover, didn't this guy come to enter the High School through connections?
Your Excellency??
What kind of status did the great educator Lin have? Did he need to address such a young man?
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Zhu Minglang said.
"As a steward, you should do your job well. If you don't do it well, it's a dereliction of duty. Steward, go to the old madam and receive your punishment!" The great educator Lin Zhao was not too gentle when it came to matters like this.
"Yes, yes, I'll go and receive my punishment right away."
"Have a seat inside, I'm making tea. I didn't expect you to visit tonight. To be honest, I've been looking for you these days. I have something to discuss with you … Sigh, look at how I treat my guests. I'm sorry, please go ahead. We still owe you a favor," said the great educator Lin Zhao.
