182: 182.Invited Actors

The car was quiet, and the leather seats exuded a faint fragrance.

Yu Tianxiong personally sat in the driver's seat, while Xu Ting and Wang Yuxi accompanied Mr. Lu and Lu Xiaoli in the back.

The motorcade smoothly drove away from the bustling high-speed train station.

This overly luxurious environment made Lu Zehzhou and Lu Xiaoli even more reserved, not knowing where to put their hands and feet.

Mr. Lu hesitated repeatedly, but still couldn't help but tentatively break the silence: "That... Mr. Yu, Sister Xu, Miss Wang, you... are you with our Lu Feng... what is your relationship with him?"

Yu Tianxiong, looking through the rearview mirror, replied respectfully and sincerely: "Mr. Lu, you can just call me Xiao Yu or Tianxiong.

I am President Lu's subordinate, currently serving as the CEO of Tingfeng Capital, founded by President Lu, and I am responsible for the company's management."

Xu Ting also smiled and interjected, her tone natural and respectful: "Uncle and Auntie, I am Xu Ting, President Lu's business partner.

We have jointly invested in some projects.

Oh, by the way, I even called Auntie Lu before... about the Donghai Group matter, do you still remember?"

"Tingfeng Capital? CEO??" Lu Xiaoli murmured, repeating these words, her eyes wide.

However, when Donghai Group was mentioned, she immediately remembered that Lu Feng had seemingly helped with something back then and even received a million yuan!

"So it was you! I remember, I remember! But Lu Feng... when did he become a president? And start a company? He... isn't he only a freshman?"

This amount of information was too shocking for the old couple who had worked honestly their whole lives.

Lu Zehzhou appeared calmer on the surface, but the turbulent waves in his heart were no less than his wife's.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Wang Yuxi, who was sitting by the window.

The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed.

Suddenly, a recent advertisement and movie poster he had seen on TV flashed through his mind, and he abruptly remembered, exclaiming: "You... aren't you that... the one who acts in movies... Wang Yuxi?"

Seeing that she was recognized, Wang Yuxi revealed a bright smile and generously admitted: "Uncle and Auntie have good eyesight, it's me.

Lu Feng and I are... well, half drinking buddies, we get along quite well."

She cleverly used the casual term "drinking buddies" to downplay her celebrity status and also to bridge the distance.

"Film... Film Empress?!"

Lu Xiaoli felt her heart was about to give out.

Not only had her son become "President Lu," but even his friends were well-known celebrities?

How could her son's social circle be so vast? It was too outrageous!

The two of them should completely belong to different worlds and different social strata!

Perhaps all questions would only be answered when she saw her son.

The vehicle slowly drove into Jiangcheng University.

Looking at the tree-lined, vibrant campus outside the window, Lu Zehzhou and Lu Xiaoli temporarily suppressed the myriad questions in their hearts, feeling a surge of genuine relief and anticipation.

This was their first time visiting their son's university, and their hearts were filled with concern.

They wondered if their son was used to living here, if he was eating well, and if he was keeping up with his studies.

After parking the car, Yu Tianxiong, Xu Ting, and Wang Yuxi, who had put her mask back on, accompanied the elderly couple for a walk on campus.

Yu Tianxiong and Xu Ting were both very emotionally intelligent, subtly mentioning Lu Feng's situation at school in their conversation.

For example, he studied very diligently, was quick-witted, and even professors praised him.

For example, he was steady in character and had a very good reputation among his classmates, and so on.

Hearing others praise their son so much, Mr. Lu and Lu Xiaoli finally showed genuine and proud smiles, nodding continuously.

As they walked, the group passed a particularly new-looking, heavily guarded building with a sign that read "Future Energy Laboratory" on its facade.

Lu Zehzhou, who usually followed the news, sighed: "This must be that very popular laboratory mentioned on TV, right? I heard they developed a very powerful battery.

It's truly remarkable.

Jiangcheng University truly lives up to its reputation."

Just then, the glass door of the laboratory opened, and a middle-aged man in a white coat, with somewhat disheveled hair but bright eyes, walked out quickly.

It was Qin Tian.

He immediately spotted Yu Tianxiong and Xu Ting, changed direction, and hurried to greet them.

Yu Tianxiong then introduced: "This is Professor Qin Tian, the chief scientist of the Future Energy Laboratory.

These two are President Lu's parents."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian looked intently at Lu Zehzhou and Lu Xiaoli, excitedly extended both hands, and tightly grasped Mr. Lu's hand, his voice trembling slightly: "You two... are you two Mr. Lu's parents?!

This is wonderful!

I finally get to meet you!

Welcome, welcome!"

His enthusiasm caught the elderly couple off guard.

Lu Zehzhou's brain even crashed; this was too sudden!

Qin Tian continued excitedly: "Without Mr. Lu's foresight and unreserved support, this laboratory would not be where it is today, and we would not have our current breakthroughs and innovations!

Mr. Lu is my benefactor!"

His heartfelt gratitude and almost worshipful attitude left Lu Zehzhou and Lu Xiaoli in a daze throughout, only able to mechanically nod and shake hands, their minds a jumble.

No... son... how is my son... also involved with this... national key laboratory?

And he's a "benefactor"?

Taking advantage of the time, Qin Tian directly took the elderly couple on a tour of the laboratory.

"Recently, the battery has had another breakthrough, and a new model will soon be released..."

Normally, this laboratory would not be accessible to ordinary people.

So, when the researchers and staff inside saw Qin Tian and Yu Tianxiong bringing in two plainly dressed middle-aged people, they thought it was another important figure coming for inspection, and they all immediately straightened their backs.

Not long after, Lu Feng finished his exam and hurried over.

He immediately saw his parents, who were surrounded by Yu Tianxiong, Xu Ting, Wang Yuxi, and an overly excited Qin Tian, looking somewhat at a loss.

"Dad, Mom!" Lu Feng quickly stepped forward to greet them.

When Lu Xiaoli saw her son, she seemed to have found her anchor: "Son, you're finally here.

Tell me, Mom, we're not dreaming, are we?"

Lu Feng said confidently: "Mom, don't worry, it's all real, not a dream.

Even if it were a dream... I could make everything come true."

Lu Zehzhou, with a hint of teasing, said: "Lu Feng, your... your entourage is too grand.

Tell Dad honestly, are these people... actors you hired? Deliberately putting on a show for us?

You can't learn bad habits outside and engage in these superficial things!"

Looking at their worried and confused eyes, Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh.

He patted his parents' hands and explained:

"Dad, Mom, what are you thinking?

These are all real, not actors."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Yu Tianxiong, Xu Ting, Wang Yuxi, and Qin Tian, who all smiled and nodded at him.

Lu Feng then continued to his parents: "I told you on the phone before that I found a very good job and was doing well.

Actually... to be more precise, I founded several companies myself.

Tingfeng Capital, and Tingfeng Energy which supports Professor Qin's laboratory, are among them.

President Yu, Sister Xu, Yuxi, and Professor Qin, they are all very important partners and friends in my career."

Despite being mentally prepared, hearing this undeniable answer directly from their son's mouth still left Lu Zehzhou and Lu Xiaoli speechless for a long time.

They looked at their son, who now had a steady demeanor and confident eyes, and then at the powerful individuals around them, who clearly showed respect for their son.

Finally, they had to believe that their son, Lu Feng, had truly embarked on a path they could not have imagined.
