I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Liu Ting looked at him, remained silent for a moment, then put away the bank card and smiled:

"Good, you have guts. You're a worthy little brother I have high hopes for."

She didn't insist any further.

It's fine to force small favors on Luo Feng; he'll just think she's kind and will remember it. But to force large favors on him is too deliberate.

After all, she and Luo Feng were just classmates. She had no right or status to help him wholeheartedly. If she went too far, it would only arouse Luo Feng's suspicion, which would not be good.

Of course, if Luo Feng were willing to become her disciple, he would immediately have both a position and an identity, but even "Liu Ting" couldn't afford to daydream like that.

The fact that she was a classmate from the start naturally created a huge obstacle for Luo Feng to become her disciple. She wasn't powerful enough to make Luo Feng ignore her status and bow down to her. She could only let things take their course.

"Since you don't want to lend money, then forget it."

Liu Ting stood up and stretched her wrists. "But you can't neglect to mentor your younger brother. Come on, let me see how well you've practiced your swordsmanship."

Luo Feng nodded, gripped his battle sword tightly, and prepared himself.

Over the next hour, "Liu Ting" first watched Luo Feng practice, then pointed out three problems in his swordsmanship, and gave suggestions for adjustment in three aspects: breathing rhythm, footwork coordination, and power exertion angle.

After Luo Feng improved his movements according to her suggestions, the fluidity of his swordsmanship indeed improved to another level.

His admiration for "Liu Ting" grew even stronger.

In the past month, he has received guidance from "Liu Ting" no less than ten times, and each time he has been able to discover his shortcomings and improve.

He even suspected that the quality of this guidance was unmatched, even by the instructors of formal martial arts practitioners.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

Liu Ting glanced at the time, clapped her hands, and said, "I have something to do tonight, so I'm leaving now."

She turned and walked towards the entrance of the martial arts school. When she reached the entrance, she suddenly turned back and smiled at Luo Feng:

"Good luck on the college entrance exam. I don't want to be wandering around Jiangnan University in the future and hear people say that Luo Feng, who hangs out with me, didn't even get into military academy."

Luo Feng paused for a moment, then nodded solemnly:

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

"Liu Ting" waved her hand and walked out without looking back.

Don't worry, you will definitely disappoint me.

Outside the martial arts school, driver Uncle Li was already waiting there in his silver Mercedes-Benz S7.

"Miss, are you going home?"

"No, go to the Dawn Royal Court. My dad said I have a distinguished guest who wants to see me."

"Alright, hold on tight!"

Uncle Li stepped on the gas, and the car smoothly drove into the night, heading towards the best hotel in Yangzhou—Chenxi Royal Court.

Liu Wentao had called her earlier to tell her that a distinguished guest was coming and specifically asked to see her, urging her to come quickly.

The fact that Liu Wentao would send his beloved daughter suggests that the other party's identity is not simple. However, it is highly likely that they have no malicious intent, otherwise Liu Wentao would not have called her to come, but rather let her run away.

Chapter 215 So sincere, the father rises in status because of his daughter.

Chenxi Royal Court is one of the top five-star hotels in Yangzhou, with magnificent and luxurious decor. It is said that a single meal there costs tens of thousands of yuan, and an ordinary person would have to live on a shoestring budget for half a year after just one visit.

The car stopped at the entrance, and as soon as "Liu Ting" got out, a waiter came up to greet her and respectfully led the way.

Passing through the luxurious lobby, we arrived at the door of a private room called "Peony Pavilion" on the third floor. The waiter pushed open the door, and a faint aroma of tea and food wafted out.

The private room was large, and there were already three people sitting inside.

Liu Wentao sat to the side, chatting and laughing with a dignified middle-aged man in the main seat next to him. The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, wearing a dark suit and exuding a calm demeanor.

Beside him sat a young man, about twenty years old, quite handsome, but with a hint of arrogance and frivolity in his eyes, idly playing with his phone.

Upon seeing "Liu Ting" enter, Liu Wentao immediately stood up and greeted her with a beaming smile:

"My daughter's here! Come, come, let me introduce her to you!"

He pulled "Liu Ting" to the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "This is Mr. Xu Shanlai, the general manager of the Xu Group! This is his son, Xu Gang!"

"Hello, Uncle Xu. Hello, Young Master Xu."

"Liu Ting" greeted him politely, but her mind was racing.

Xu's Group?

She vaguely recognized the name: the Xu family of Jiangnan Base City, one of the twelve major families of China in the HR Alliance, with immense power and deep roots in the economic, political, and martial arts fields. They were also Xu Xin's family.

Are these two people Xu Xin's father and brother?

Seemingly to confirm her guess, Liu Wentao continued, "Mr. Xu is a well-known entrepreneur in our Jiangnan City, and also the father of your classmate Xu Xin."

Sure enough.

Liu Ting understood in her heart, but on the surface she remained calm and smiled, "So Uncle Xu is Xu Xin's father. I've heard so much about you."

Xu Shanlai looked her up and down, nodded, and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes:

"Liu Ting, right? I've heard Xu Xin mention you a lot lately, saying you take good care of her, are a good girl, and are also very outstanding. Meeting you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

"Uncle Xu, you're too kind. Xu Xin and I are friends, so it's only right that we take care of each other."

While Liu Ting spoke politely, she was actually pondering Xu Shanlai's purpose for coming today.

Although Liu Wentao is considered wealthy, he is worlds apart from the Xu family. For Xu Shanlai to personally visit him is clearly no ordinary matter.

After everyone was seated and exchanged a few pleasantries, Xu Shanlai finally revealed the purpose of his visit:

"Liu Ting, I apologize for visiting you today, but there is something I would like to ask you for help with."

"Oh? Uncle Xu, please go ahead."

“Xu Xin was protected too much by us since she was a child. She has a rather simple personality and is even a bit withdrawn. She has never had any friends growing up.”

Xu Shanlai sighed, a hint of worry in his eyes, "Although she has excellent grades, I've always been a little worried about her interpersonal skills."

“She will be going to study at Jiangnan University in a while. She’s not familiar with the place, and I’m worried that she’ll be bullied.”

He looked at "Liu Ting" and said solemnly, "I heard that you are also going to Jiangnan University, so I would like to ask you to take good care of Xin'er during your time at the university and make sure she is not deceived by shady men or bullied in any way."

"You are the most suitable candidate among Xu Xin's limited number of friends, so I can only ask you for help."

Liu Ting waited a while, and when she realized that Xu Shanlai had nothing else to say, she raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "That's it?"

"That's all."

Xu Shanlai nodded, then took out a document and placed it on the table. "Of course, our Xu family won't let you help us for nothing."

"As long as Liu Ting is willing to take care of Xin'er more at school, my Xu family is willing to offer a 30 billion yuan project to cooperate with Feigong Group and establish a long-term strategic partnership in the future."

This is to support the Feigong Group!

The private room was silent for a second.

Liu Ting was stunned, and Liu Wentao was also stunned.

A project worth 30 billion?

Just for such a small thing?

Liu Ting was secretly astonished; the Xu family's doting on Xu Xin was truly outrageous.

Just so she could take care of Xu Xin at school, they were willing to offer a 30 billion yuan project?

It's astonishing that the Xu family showed such sincerity for something as simple as this, something she would have done any other time!

However, she also understood that Xu Xin's personality was indeed too naive. She had been too well protected since childhood and had almost no social experience. If she were placed in the complex environment of university, she would easily suffer.

Although Xu Shanlai's actions were somewhat extravagant and corrupted the originally pure friendship between his daughter and "Liu Ting," he genuinely cared for his daughter's well-being.

He would rather the friendship be impure than let his daughter get hurt.

After reading the document, Liu Ting put it down, sighed inwardly, and then nodded without hesitation.

"Uncle Xu, don't worry. Even without this project, Xu Xin is still my good friend, and I will naturally take care of her."

"However, since you are so sincere, I will not stand on ceremony. Our Liu family will take on this project."

Xu Shan glanced at Liu Wentao and, finding that he had no objection to Liu Ting's decision, was somewhat taken aback.

"Is Liu Wentao a doting father? He lets his daughter make the decisions on projects worth hundreds of billions without even looking at them. I couldn't do that!"

The look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Wentao suddenly carried a hint of mutual appreciation.

The wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

Based on the principle of "since I'm already here, I might as well have some free time", Liu Ting used her silver tongue to start talking to Xu Shanlai about business matters.

Although she wasn't very familiar with the business rules of the Swallowed Star world, she was rich in experience and knowledge, which came from the accumulated wisdom of tens of thousands of lives.

In the time it takes to eat a meal, she speaks eloquently and wittily, directly expanding the cooperation between the two parties from the original 30 billion to a scale of more than 200 billion.

Finally, Xu Shanlai put down his wine glass, his eyes filled with amazement as he looked at "Liu Ting":

"Liu Ting, Liu Ting, I've lived for so many years and traveled all over the country, and I've met a lot of people, but I've never seen a young person as eloquent as you before."

"If you weren't still in high school, I would have poached you to be the vice president of our Xu Group."

Liu Ting replied with a smile, "Uncle Xu, you flatter me. I was just saying. Whether it can be implemented or not depends on your and my dad's team to carry it out."

"Your vision and intelligence are enough," Xu Shanlai said with a sigh, shaking his head. "With such a daughter in the Liu family, they are destined for great prosperity."

Liu Wentao, listening from the side, burst into laughter, feeling incredibly smug.

A meal led to a cooperation deal worth over 200 billion yuan, which is about the same as the current market value of Feigong Group.

Starting today, Hefei Group is about to take off!

As the party ended, Xu Gang stood up from his seat, walked over to "Liu Ting," and wore a smile that looked unnaturally awkward.

"Sister Liu Ting, seeing you in person today is truly amazing. I never imagined you were not only beautiful but also so talented."

"If you go to Jiangnan University in the future, feel free to come to me if you have any trouble. I have some connections there."

As he spoke, he reached out to pat "Liu Ting" on the shoulder, but in the end he restrained himself and lowered his hand, afraid of being impolite.
