"Brother Zhan, I don't know if you have heard of the traditional medicine of country C, which often uses the theory of the homology of medicine and food to make some medicinal food to regulate people's bodies?" Ling Tingzhen was very satisfied to see James's state at this time, so he told him about it.

"Well, I've heard of it, but don't everyone say it's pseudoscience, and a lot of it is deceptive witchcraft?" James had long lost the momentum of the question just now, and now he asked Ling Tingzhen a question like a student to a teacher.

Ling Tingzhen waved his hand, "With the development of traditional medicine in country C to this day, it is inevitable that there will be dross mixed with it, but this does not mean that it cannot cure diseases and save people and strengthen the body." Like the one I drank. Ling Tingzhen pointed to the thermos jar, "This is called the Ten Perfection Tonic Soup, which is specially prepared for me by my personal doctor, and it has the effect of nourishing the body and calming the mind." Recently, I often need to stay up late to write papers, so I deliberately stayed up to make up for myself. ”

"But why are you fine when you drink it, and I'm in a coma when I drink it?" James listened to Ling Tingzhen's theory speciously, but he did not forget this key issue.

"This is probably because of the different physical conditions of the two of us, I grew up eating these things since I was a child, and although Brother Zhan loves the culture of country C, I am afraid that he rarely comes into contact with the food of country C.

At this time, James completely calmed down, sighed and said, "It seems that I misunderstood Brother Ling." ”

Ling Tingzhen smiled with satisfaction, handed over the refreshments, and said, "There is an old saying in country C, if you lose your horse, you will not know if you are blessed, Brother Zhan, hasn't this solved the problem of how to choose a debate team?" ”

James nodded noncommittal, and the misunderstanding between the two was finally resolved, and they reconciled again. However, Ling Tingzhen's last words have been haunting James's heart. If it is said that from the time he found the soup in Ling Tingzhen's hand, to subconsciously snatching it, and drinking it later, Ling Tingzhen was intentionally promoted, then how calculating this Ling Tingzhen is. Every time he thought of this, James shuddered, and could only persuade himself to think too much, because no matter what, Ling Tingzhen not only did not harm himself, but also helped himself.

However, after that, James was more vigilant about Ling Tingzhen, however, every once in a while, he would feel a tightness in his back, not physically but psychologically. And once this situation occurred, it meant that he intuitively felt that he was being calculated by Ling Tingzhen again. At this moment, James was sitting and felt his back tighten, which made him sleepy and his brain began to work clearly.

"When did you start to be calculated?" James pondered the question, and he forced himself to remember the bits and pieces of recent events. Is it the advice of the staff, or the chat with a relative, or the teacher of the cultural center?

Thinking of this, James opened his eyes and suddenly said, "Ryan, help me withdraw from the cultural academy class." ”

"Yes, sir, but for what reason." Assistant Ryan asked with some surprise.

"Let's just say that I've found a very good tutor and won't go there anymore." After James finished speaking, he fell into the chair and closed his eyes. With Ling Tingzhen as a powerful teacher, what else does he need from the teachers of the Cultural Academy to educate him in this kind of "subtle" way. James shook his head with a wry smile, if it weren't for his subconscious psychological reaction, I am afraid that he would really be toyed with by Ling Tingzhen again. But until now, James has done nothing to Ling Tingzhen. However, Ling Tingzhen still made the best choice for himself as always, and solved his problem. It's just that James is really unwilling, does he really respond to the saying, "Since ancient times, affection can't be retained, only routines can win people's hearts"? James gasped in his heart, fortunately Ling Tingzhen was his partner rather than an opponent, otherwise, he might really be "sold and still helping the other party count the money".

Just when James was sulking, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and it turned out to be his beloved wife Nina calling. James immediately picked up the phone, and heard a sweet and happy voice from inside, "Oh dear, I really like the surprise you gave me for my wedding anniversary." ”

Wedding anniversary surprise? James was stunned, he did arrange the program and gifts for tonight's wedding anniversary, but it was impossible to expose it now. What's going on, could it be that a subordinate accidentally leaked the secret? Although full of doubts, James still calmly replied to his wife, after all, he could not let his beloved wife down, "Honey, you just need to be satisfied." ”

"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied, I've never been dissatisfied with the design of the chief designer of Eleto. This dress is really in the same vein as the wedding dress she designed for me, and it is unique, in short, it is so beautiful, I am at a loss for words. In fact, women's preferences are very similar, and there is no woman from a family like Nina, who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, who is not ecstatic about a unique and beautiful dress that has been customized for herself. What's more, the mysterious chief designer of Eleto personally customizes only a handful of clothes in a year, and only orders from a figure of James's level will be handled by the chief designer himself. It's not because the chief designer hates the poor and loves the rich, it's just that the designer is too busy, so he has to use a high threshold to block the needs of her supporters. And it also allows more opportunities to be transferred to other talented designers in the Ireto design studio, so as to build a solid design team.

And relying on Lei, the chief designer of this emerging top clothing brand in the world is none other than Ling Tingzhen's sister Ling Anxun. Just now, Ling Tingzhen asked Han Yuyan to assist in setting up a video channel, talking to his sister in Baoling Academy, and asking his sister to send the physical three-dimensional renderings of the dress that had been prepared long ago to Nina by email, and informing her that the dress would be delivered to the house at five o'clock tonight. This can be regarded as a little psychological compensation for Ling Tingzhen's calculation of James.

James, as Ling Tingzhen's ally, is one of the few people who knows the true identity of the chief designer of Eleto, he heard his beloved wife's narration, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again, Ling Tingzhen in order to prevent his tricks from being seen through by him, even did a good job of appeasing, it was really a seamless plan, then he James could only accept his fate and be planted in Ling Tingzhen's routine. So, James decided not to investigate how many people around him had become Ling Tingzhen's helpers, and easily boarded a private jet to fly back to country A to celebrate their wedding anniversary with his wife. However, since Ling Tingzhen helped him solve the problem and gave him a gift, he should also follow suit. There is an old Chinese saying that one day James must return a big gift to Brother Ling.

At this time, Ling Tingzhen, who had just completed the routine of James, was still preparing to calculate another person, that is, his own sister who had just made a great contribution. However, in the face of his eccentric sister, he didn't dare to act lightly, and he needed to take a closer look before thinking about it in the long run. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry at this time, and the person who asked him to make a move on his sister was not so urgent, just told him to confirm the target. This person is none other than the biological mother of their brother and sister, Ms. Mu Qiong.

Ever since the conversation with Ling Anxun outside the painting, Mu Qiong has become suspicious of her daughter. Mu Qiong was sure with his keen intuition that there was definitely something else going on when Ling Anxun was kidnapped this time. If I didn't guess wrong, it came from a man. Then her first object of suspicion was naturally Wei Yuheng, the third young man of the Wei family, who was kidnapped at the same time as her daughter. Although Ling Anxun's portrait is not at all similar to Wei Yuheng, in Mu Qiong's opinion, it is just a means to deceive laymen. For her, a famous painter with a unique discernment, Ling Anxun couldn't hide her little thoughts. However, when Mu Qiong saw that her daughter had a fearless appearance, she was also a little unsure, so she especially asked her son to pay special attention to the direction of this painting at this auction, because the person who participated in the bidding for this painting must be someone who his daughter cared about. Mu Qiong also specially instructed his son not to startle the snake.

Although Ling Tingzhen admired Wei Yuheng's intelligence, his sister was a supreme treasure, how could she be easily robbed, at least she had to pass five levels and kill six generals with him. Therefore, Ling Tingzhen almost lingered in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows all night, and he wanted to monitor Wei Yuheng's every move with his own eyes. Fortunately, the floor-to-ceiling windows are single-sided glass, and people outside can't see inside, otherwise the guests on the first floor will really be frightened by this unsmiling "window god".

The second phase of the auction has finally begun, and Ling Anxun's painting will appear in the third. And now, everyone in Ling Anxun's three-person group is trying to calm down. Because just a few minutes ago, Ling Anxun's trio had just been frightened by their eldest brother Ling Tingzhen.

The first to bear the brunt of this was Han Yuyan, who was suddenly called into the secret room in the VIP box that Ling Tingzhen had never set foot in, and immediately set up a secret channel for her to video with Ling Anxun, who was in Baoling Academy. Han Yuyan has been to the VIP box in the club several times, but she has never found such a secret room. Looking at Ling Tingzhen who was calmly drinking red wine in the secret room, at that moment, Han Yuyan felt that the small actions of the three of them at the auction had been discovered by Ling Tingzhen. Because it's all so anomalous. First of all, why didn't Ling Tingzhen directly ask MU to set up a confidential communication channel for him, but let Han Yuyan come, so does it mean that he knew that Han Yuyan and the three of them were using MU to communicate secretly. Second, if you want to make contact, why not just make a call instead of a video conference? In order to determine Ling Anxun's position at the moment? In the end, where did Hu Zhaohui, who has always been inseparable from Ling Tingzhen, go?
