CHAPTER 1015: CHAPTER 1012: THE OLD MASTER’S INVITATION

"The old man’s open-mindedness makes us juniors admire him." Lin Tian said sincerely.

"Xiao Tian, speaking of admiration, you are the one who makes this old man admire you. So young, yet you’ve mastered the Nine Needle Technique, are a pharmacist, and an Ancient Martial Artist, and you’ve achieved so much in entrepreneurship. At your age, I was far behind. Among the younger generation now, no one can compare to you." Mr. Yun praised with a smile.

"It’s just a fortunate coincidence." Lin Tian said humbly. Mr. Yun didn’t argue but watched Lin Tian’s acupuncture with a smile.

After several days of continuous acupuncture, Lin Tian was already very proficient. This time, he finished today’s acupuncture treatment in less time than before.

As Lin Tian was putting away the golden thread, the old man suddenly said, "Xiao Tian, you don’t need to come and give me acupuncture tomorrow?"

"Why? Is the old man going on a long trip?" Lin Tian asked curiously, putting down his sleeve.

"It’s not that I’m going far away; it’s that you’re going out." The old man said with a smile, and Lin Tian shook his head, indicating he didn’t understand.

"I’m going out? How come I don’t know about it myself?" Lin Tian was even more puzzled, as if there was more to the old man’s words.

Mr. Yun chuckled and said, "Have you been so focused on giving me acupuncture these past few days that you’ve forgotten something important? Here’s a hint: A few days ago, a girl from the Xiao Family came to find you."

A girl from the Xiao Family, isn’t that the Miss and Second Miss? But how does that relate to me going out? Lin Tian was full of confusion until a sudden realization flashed in his mind.

"Is the old man talking about the Yunhua Commerce gathering?" Lin Tian came to his senses and asked.

"That’s right, it’s the Yunhua Commerce. Tomorrow is the day of the half-yearly event. You and Xiao Tian should go with Haoyu to take a look. This world will belong to your younger generation sooner or later, so it’s time to go and make some connections." Mr. Yun said, smiling.

Lin Tian rubbed his brow, unwilling to say, "Why should I go? I only stand aside at these family gatherings, and these things are very boring."

"Things may be somewhat boring, but aren’t you worried about the girl from the Xiao Family being bullied if you don’t go? You should know, the Xiao Family’s strength is somewhat weak, but they’ve recently acquired the top resources in the Jade Industry, making many families envious. Do you think they might trouble the girl from the Xiao Family?" Mr. Yun said with a grin, seeming sure Lin Tian would agree to go.

Lin Tian was at a loss for words. The old man had his ways; he would surely get me to attend. Helplessly, he said, "Since the old man insists, I dare not disobey."

"Haha, that’s great, that’s great. It was going to be a rather dull gathering, but it seems like this year it might be quite exciting." Mr. Yun laughed heartily, as if Lin Tian’s attendance would make the gathering lively.

Lin Tian shook his head in private, not understanding what the old man was so happy about. He had no choice but to say, "Old man, I’ll head back now. At least I should make some preparations."

"Yes, you should prepare. For that place, you can’t dress casually, or those snobbish eyes will look down on you, much as I dislike them. By the way, a couple of days ago, Miss Sofia sent over an outfit, I almost forgot to tell you. The outfit is for you, perfect for the gathering." Mr. Yun remembered something and mentioned it.

Sofia, the French female designer? Lin Tian’s heart was stirred. If the old man hadn’t brought it up, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Last time, upon Mo Mingda’s strong request, there was a competition to obtain an outfit designed by Sofia. Lin Tian won with his black card and even won Mo Mingda’s Ferrari.

Now, just over half a month later, Mo Mingda had vanished forever. It must be said, the world is fickle; one moment someone is riding high, the next, they return to dust and ashes.

"Xiao Tian, I’ll have the outfit sent to Yunxiang Inn. See if you like it. If you don’t want to wear it, just do what you please; don’t care about others’ judgments." Mr. Yun advised.

"Alright, I understand." Lin Tian agreed and left the villa.

Upon returning to Yunxiang Inn, as soon as he entered the living room, An Xiaoru came up to him, saying, "Mr. Lin, the old man sent something over, and he said to give it to you."

"So soon?" Lin Tian was taken aback. The old man was indeed quick; the clothes arrived sooner than he did.

Lin Tian nodded and walked to the couch, seeing several boxes of various sizes placed on it. The boxes were exquisite; no doubt Sofia’s gifts were all packaged beautifully within.

Since the Miss gave him a set of clothing, Lin Tian understood that for men, dressing wasn’t a simple matter either. The outfit from Sofia includes a suit jacket and pants, a shirt, a tie, a men’s belt, leather shoes, a watch, and even socks were matched.

It must be said, the female designer’s standards are high, achieving utmost perfection, considering every detail for a man.

Even An Xiaoru, being a woman, was secretly amazed. The completeness of these garments rivaled women’s clothing.

Lin Tian opened the last small box to find a pair of glasses, not sunglasses, but a design similar to prescription glasses, yet more exquisite.

I’m not nearsighted, so why did Sofia send me prescription glasses? Lin Tian thought curiously. He picked up the glasses and found an elegant letter at the bottom of the box.

Lin Tian picked up the letter and opened it. It was handwritten in English, and the general meaning was that Sofia noticed Lin Tian’s gaze was too sharp, so she prepared a pair of photochromic glasses to neutralize some of the intensity in his gaze.

Gee, Sofia is simply amazing, considering even this. No wonder she’s one of the top designers internationally. Lin Tian couldn’t help but admire inwardly.

Whether he liked it or not, Sofia’s thorough consideration and perfect design could only be described in three words: master-level. No wonder even Europe’s aristocratic circles hold Sofia in such high regard.

"Mr. Lin, this outfit is so... so perfect. I’ve never seen any young person from the Yun Family wear such clothes." An Xiaoru pondered for a long time, finally describing the outfit as perfect.

"The design is indeed impeccable, but I still don’t quite like it. Such meticulous attention to detail is too deliberate." Lin Tian commented casually.

This design style is probably influenced by European aristocratic fashion. European nobility demands their clothes to be flawless and exquisite, similar to the ancient Huaxia court garments, as if such perfection showcases their superiority.

However, dislike aside, since the old man requested it, Lin Tian would certainly wear it. After all, besides being too formal, the outfit is comfortable enough.

Lin Tian put away the outfit, initially intending to call the Miss to let her know he would attend Yunhua Commerce’s half-yearly gathering tomorrow. But then he reconsidered, thinking perhaps he should give the little girl a surprise tomorrow.
