As Du Fei and Catherine walked out, they saw Gong Chengbin chatting enthusiastically with Luo Wenwen.
It was unclear what Gong Chengbin said to make her laugh heartily, but he became more animated as he spoke.
"Catherine."
Upon seeing her good friend Catherine emerge, Luo Wenwen immediately stood up and walked over to her.
Du Fei quickly strode forward and sat down next to Gong Chengbin.
"Looking good, A Bin. You're already hitting it off after just a short while."
Du Fei's face held a faint smile.
As Gong Chengbin's good friend, he also hoped that his friend could win the beauty's heart.
Gong Chengbin heard this and said proudly, "Of course. At this rate, you'll be preparing for the wedding banquet soon."
His arrogant demeanor, as if his tail was about to curl up to the sky, made Du Fei unable to resist teasing him, "Oh really? Then who was it not long ago, pulling me over to ask endless questions and worrying incessantly?"
Du Fei's merciless exposure instantly transformed Gong Chengbin's smiling face into one of pure fury.
However, before he could speak, Luo Wenwen had already pulled Catherine to sit on the opposite sofa.
Seeing Luo Wenwen sit down, Gong Chengbin only had time to glare at Du Fei before putting on a smiling face again and looking towards them.
Alas, Gong Chengbin was truly a love-struck fool. Du Fei watched him and shook his head helplessly.
"What's wrong, Du Fei?"
Seeing Du Fei's shaking head, the two women on the opposite sofa looked at him with some confusion.
Gong Chengbin quickly winked at Du Fei before Du Fei could speak, and then put on an air of confident negotiation.
Despite how sure he sounded just now, nothing was actually settled yet.
Therefore, Gong Chengbin was afraid Du Fei would sabotage him.
Even though he knew Du Fei wasn't that kind of person, his concern made him flustered. Gong Chengbin felt he was in a crucial period of pursuing Luo Wenwen and couldn't afford a single mistake.
Fortunately, Du Fei had no intention of doing so.
He smiled and said it was nothing.
"Du Fei, after meeting you, I finally understand that Chinese saying, 'There's always someone better.' Your medical skills are indeed extraordinary. If every Chinese doctor had your skills, I believe Western medicine might gradually be replaced."
After Du Fei's repeated demonstrations previously, and especially when he performed acupuncture on her, Catherine felt Du Fei's techniques were as magical as something from a movie.
Thus, at this moment, Catherine had wholeheartedly admitted that Du Fei's medical skills were incredible and that traditional Chinese medicine could indeed surpass advanced medical equipment.
"Miss Catherine, thank you for your praise. However, I dare not accept such flattery as 'there's always someone better.' In reality, there are many excellent Chinese doctors in China, they are simply undiscovered."
Du Fei remained as humble as ever.
He did not feel smug about surpassing Catherine.
However, Catherine frowned slightly at Du Fei's modesty and then said, "Du Fei, your medical skills are excellent, and your combat prowess is also great. But you have one flaw, which is being too modest. The strong are respected. You have the ability, and that's a fact."
Du Fei simply smiled at Catherine's words and said nothing.
This time, Catherine wasn't entirely wrong. However, Du Fei and she came from different countries and grew up in different environments, so their ways of thinking naturally differed.
Chinese people emphasize modesty, while Westerners admire strength, believing that being powerful is a manifestation of ability and should be a source of pride and honor.
Soon, the group changed the topic and chatted about other things.
"By the way, Wenwen, do you remember the traditional Chinese medicine beauty products I gave you last time?"
Gong Chengbin, in his effort to win the beauty's heart, had exhausted all his ideas. Just a few days after meeting her, he had gifted Luo Wenwen the entire series of beauty products produced by Tian Kun Group.
Although she didn't know why Gong Chengbin mentioned this, Luo Wenwen immediately nodded, "I remember. You gave me so many, I couldn't use them all at once, so I gave half to Catherine. After we both used them, we agreed that the efficacy of these few traditional Chinese medicine beauty products is no less than that of the world's top-tier brands."
"Could it be that these products were invented by Du Fei? Oh my god, that's too incredible!!"
As soon as Luo Wenwen finished speaking, Catherine, who was standing nearby, suddenly thought of something. She then looked at Du Fei and made a bold guess.
Then, to the astonishment of both Catherine and Luo Wenwen, Du Fei nodded.
His superb medical skills, even more impressive than the most advanced medical equipment, combined with his extraordinary combat ability, were already shocking enough.
But Du Fei was even more astonishing, having developed beauty products comparable to international top brands using traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients. What else couldn't this man do?
For a moment, Catherine's beautiful pupils gazed at Du Fei, filled with admiration and worship.
"Du Fei, have you ever considered launching your developed beauty products into the international market?"
As Catherine spoke, she couldn't help but lean closer to Du Fei.
Du Fei was slightly taken aback by Catherine's action and casually replied, "For now, A Bin and I plan to first develop and expand domestically. Once the domestic market is stable, we'll consider entering the international market."
"This is my private business card. My family runs a large multinational corporation. If you plan to develop the foreign market in the future, I might be able to offer you some assistance."
Catherine took out a beautifully crafted red card and handed it to Du Fei.
In fact, Catherine wanted to tell Du Fei that she was confident she could make Du Fei's developed beauty products into an international top-tier brand.
However, Du Fei seemed only moderately interested in this matter, so Catherine didn't press on.
Du Fei nodded and took the card.
"Actually, what I really wanted to tell you two is that the beauty products Du Fei's girlfriend's company developed are far more effective than these few of mine. If there's a chance, I'll have Du Fei bring some for you to try."
Hearing this, Du Fei couldn't help but point at Gong Chengbin with a wry smile.
He had underestimated Gong Chengbin. To win the beauty's favor, he was truly capable of doing anything, no matter how underhanded.
"Du Fei has a girlfriend?"
Catherine, who had been focusing on Du Fei, let out a surprised sound upon hearing Gong Chengbin's words and looked at him.
"Yes, yes, is there a problem?"
Gong Chengbin was stunned by Catherine's question.
Luo Wenwen waved her hand, "It's nothing, nothing."
She could guess what her friend beside her was thinking.
As for Catherine, after a brief moment of silence, she revealed her beautiful smile again, pretending as if nothing had happened regarding her slightly overzealous reaction.
Du Fei and Gong Chengbin naturally didn't pry further.
Seeing that it was getting late, Du Fei mentioned he had something to do later and needed to leave.
As for Gong Chengbin, although he was reluctant to leave, the day's development had gone far better than he had expected. He understood that too much of a good thing could be detrimental, so he stood up with Du Fei.
Subsequently, Luo Wenwen and Catherine escorted them to the elevator entrance together.
