At noon on October 1st, the atmosphere was lively in the largest private room of the Nancheng International Hotel.

In addition to Chen Weimin, Chen Luoling, and Su Yifeng, Chen Weimin's parents also came from their hometown.

The two elderly people had gray hair, but they were in good spirits.

Su Yifeng followed Chen Luoling and politely and obediently called out "Grandpa and Grandma".

Grandpa Chen nodded with a smile, while Grandma Chen held Su Yifeng's hand, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Good child, thanks to you, otherwise our Ling'er..." Her eyes reddened as she spoke.

Chen Weimin quickly interrupted, "Mom, we're happy today, let's not talk about those things."

It turns out that Chen Weimin initially kept Chen Luoling's accident a secret from his parents, but the truth couldn't be hidden forever, and a week ago he finally revealed it in a less serious way.

The two elderly people were heartbroken and scolded Chen Weimin, but their anger subsided when they saw that their granddaughter was alright.

They wholeheartedly supported Chen Weimin's decision to adopt Su Yifeng as his godson, especially after learning that Su Yifeng was an orphan, which made them feel even more sorry for him.

Seeing the family start chatting, Secretary Sun tactfully stood up and said, "Secretary, Uncle and Aunt, please continue chatting. I'll go check if the dishes are ready."

After finishing speaking, he backed out.

Not long after Secretary Sun left, she happened to run into several leaders from Nanjing University who were also having lunch in the corridor, including the dean of the School of Economics and Management.

These shrewd people recognized Secretary Sun at a glance and immediately understood that Secretary Chen must also be there.

The group exchanged glances, and the dean of the School of Economics and Management, as their representative, quickly stepped forward to greet them warmly and subtly express his desire to go in and offer a toast.

Secretary Sun waved his hand and said in a low voice, "The Party Secretary is having dinner with his family and it's not convenient to disturb him. How about this, you come back in two hours, and I'll let him know for you then."

The leaders nodded repeatedly: "Understood, understood. We can't keep the Party Secretary waiting. We'll wait here. No rush, no rush!"

After saying that, the group wisely retreated to their own private rooms.

The atmosphere inside the private room was harmonious, and time flew by as people ate and drank.

Su Yifeng was naturally eloquent, and with his experience from two lifetimes, he answered the two elders' questions flawlessly, making them beam with joy and become more and more satisfied with their godson.

Chen Weimin placed a piece of pork rib in each of Chen Luoling's and Su Yifeng's bowls, and casually asked, "Yifeng, about the business I asked you about last time, do you have any concrete ideas yet?"

Su Yifeng put down his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said, "Godfather, I have some initial ideas. I'm planning to take over a small printing factory to test the waters."

"Oh? A printing factory?"

Chen Weimin was somewhat surprised. "These days, aren't all young people thinking about opening internet cafes or running websites? Why did you come up with this?"

Su Yifeng remained expressionless, having already prepared his explanation: "I personally enjoy reading and am quite interested in things like paper and printing; they make me feel grounded."

He was, of course, thinking about the future plans for acquiring the newspaper, but he certainly couldn't say that outright.

Chen Weimin nodded, not delving into it further, and encouraged, "It's good that you have ideas. It's a good thing that young people dare to take risks and do things. If you like it, just do it."

As they were talking, Secretary Sun gently pushed the door open and came in. She walked to Chen Weimin's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chen Weimin pondered for a moment. Universities do have support policies for student entrepreneurship, and it wouldn't hurt for Yifeng to get acquainted with school leaders beforehand. So he nodded.

"Let them in."

The door opened again, and five leaders from Nanjing University, led by the dean of the School of Economics and Management, walked in with warm yet respectful smiles on their faces.

"Secretary Chen, I apologize for disturbing your meal with your family."

"Grandpa, Grandma, you both look so healthy!"

"This must be Luo Ling. She certainly has an outstanding presence!"

The group took turns exchanging polite words, mainly to show their faces and get acquainted.

After offering their toasts and saying a few words of blessing, they tactfully prepared to take their leave.

Chen Weimin then pointed to Su Yifeng and gave a brief introduction: "This is my godson, Su Yifeng, who is also a freshman at your Nanjing University this year. Be as strict as you can with him at school."

The leaders' eyes immediately focused on Su Yifeng, their smiles widening as they repeatedly assured him, "Definitely, definitely!"

"Su is a very talented student; he's sure to have a bright future!"

"Secretary Chen, don't worry! Su is clearly a very talented student."

They all secretly memorized Su Yifeng's appearance and resolved to take good care of him when they returned.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the leaders respectfully withdrew.

The meal lasted for over an hour. Seeing that it was almost time, Secretary Sun came in again and whispered a reminder to Chen Weimin:

"Secretary, it's almost time. We might need to allow some extra space on the way to the airport."

Chen Weimin glanced at his watch, nodded, and said to his family and Su Yifeng:

"Dad, Mom, Ling'er, Yifeng, I'm almost done here. I still have to catch my flight to Beijing. Tonight's meeting is very important."

He stood up, picked up his coat, and then said specifically to Su Yifeng, "Yifeng, do things your way with the business. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask Secretary Sun for help. Keep an eye on Ling'er at school."

"Don't worry, godfather, please be careful on your journey," Su Yifeng said, standing up as well.

After saying goodbye to his parents and daughter, Chen Weimin hurriedly left the private room accompanied by Secretary Sun.

Watching his son's departing figure, Old Master Chen sighed, "Sigh, always so busy."

Grandma Chen then called to Su Yifeng and Chen Luoling, "Come, let's sit for a while longer, let him go about his business."

Su Yifeng chatted with the two elders and Chen Luoling for a while longer. Seeing that the two elders looked tired, he took his leave at the right time: "Grandpa and Grandma, it's getting late. You two should get some rest. I'll be going back to school now."

Grandma Chen was a little reluctant to leave: "Are you leaving already? Please stay a little longer."

"No, Grandma, I'm going to visit the printing factory tomorrow, and I need to go back and prepare," Su Yifeng explained with a smile.

"Alright then, be careful on the road, and come visit us often!" Grandma Chen instructed.

Chen Luoling also whispered, "Goodbye."

She wanted to go home with her grandparents.

Su Yifeng nodded, said goodbye to Old Master Chen, and then turned and left the private room.
