Chapter 2318: Dinner

Silicon Valley, NEXTDOOR Park.

Feng Yiping stopped what he was doing and looked at Ma Ling, who was lying on the sofa, typing with her hands and moving her legs happily.

She was dressed in a plain way, just a white shirt with an A-line skirt, but from Feng Yiping's perspective, she was quite attractive, with that waist and hip line...

He just moved a little, and before he got up from the chair, Ma Ling immediately raised her palm, "Hey, don't come over, I'm very busy now."

Feng Yiping was immediately puzzled. I haven't even moved yet, and you know it?

Then you can watch from a distance.

With his feet on the table, his hands behind his head, his head and feet nodding, he was whistling silently in his mouth - he still couldn't whistle. That look, coupled with that look, was definitely a dandy.

Ma Ling was busy for a few more minutes, and then she sat up facing Feng Yiping's gaze, stretched her hands behind her head to tie up her hair, so that the curve that was not visible just now was clearly presented in front of Feng Yiping.

"I have to go," she said hurriedly after tying up her hair.

"Let me say a few words," Feng Yiping stood up, "I thought it would be better to take Amanda alone to dinner tonight,"

"It doesn't matter, I was going to give this news as a surprise to my son, but I just haven't told him yet,"

Ma Ling didn't even ask the reason.

Then Feng Yiping had to explain, "Laurena called last night, and Jobs and her must treat me to dinner tonight,"

"And recently..."

"I listen to you," Ma Ling said immediately, "I really have to go, there is a meeting over there in five minutes,"

Since Ma Ling was like this, Feng Yiping didn't explain any more, helped her smooth her hair, and hugged her, "I always feel that this seems to be a reminder," he tilted his head back and looked at Ma Ling, "Do I understand it correctly?"

Ma Ling blinked, shrugged, and spread his hands, looking like he had nothing to say.

"So, be late for 5 minutes?" Feng Yiping suggested.

"You seem to be the boss?" Ma Ling said.

"Yes, then, be late for 10 minutes," Feng Yiping stretched out his hand, but Ma Ling had already rolled up her skirt. Time is so precious, why bother with that.

…………

In the afternoon, in Mantingfang, Feng Yiping became the one lying on the sofa.

"Jobs and Laurene, it's rare for them to invite you to dinner," Huang Jingping said.

"Yes,"

In recent years, except for visiting his home a few times, they rarely invited Feng Yiping to eat in restaurants outside.

Of course, Feng Yiping was unwilling to eat with Jobs in restaurants outside.

Jobs insisted on being a vegetarian, on the one hand, he was not polite to people including waiters, and his bad temper, like a spoiled child, was sometimes quite disgusting.

Speaking of Jobs... his requirements were really high. When eating, he would also have requirements for the decoration of the restaurant.

He would never eat in those restaurants with vulgar decorations.

Generally, when we eat dishes that don't suit our taste, we may complain in our hearts, but we usually just eat less or not eat that dish.

Jobs would say bluntly in front of the waiter and the chef, "This dish is shit."

Under normal circumstances, after such an incident, Feng Yiping would say that he had finished eating and would only drink the wine and drinks that had been served on the table, because who knows what unknown seasonings will be added to the next dish?

Even if the customers are him and Jobs, the annoyed chef sometimes probably can't care so much.

Don't think about testing, things like that, even if they can be tested, it will only be more disgusting.

So even if Laurenna invited him again and again, Feng Yiping really didn't want to go if it wasn't scheduled at Mantingfang.

"Do you know what they will talk to you about?" Huang Jingping asked.

Rarely invite him to dinner, now insist on inviting him to dinner, there will naturally be some explanations in the middle.

"I probably know," Feng Yiping said, "When you see my prompt, you will find an excuse to take Amanda away."

"Okay," Huang Jingping didn't ask the reason. She walked to the sofa with a folder and bent down to kiss him on the forehead. "I have to go around. Amanda will probably be here in half an hour. You can take a nap first."

…………

To be honest, in terms of vegetarianism, our country's menu does have a lot more choices. Even children like Amanda are very satisfied with the meal at night.

This night, she once again became the center of everyone's praise. Not her parents, not Laurene, even Jobs smiled and praised her for being so cute.

Laurene and Huang Jingping talked about women's topics, while Jobs and Feng Yiping talked mainly about work. "Does your design team have any wonderful works recently?" Jobs asked.

Feng Yiping always felt that there was a bit of show-off in his words. After all, one of his design team's recent works, the iPhone, is selling well all over the world except China.

"There are many directions at present, but no key breakthrough has been made yet,"

"But I am sure that many projects will be quite eye-catching when they break through the current bottleneck and achieve results,"

This is not his boasting. If some of the projects currently being carried out by the Magic Workshop can succeed, they will indeed be like many of Apple's products, not to meet user requirements, but to actively create demand.

"Hearing you say that, I am really looking forward to it," said Jobs.

Feng Yiping quietly signaled to Huang Jingping. He felt that the time might be about the same.

Huang Jingping raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, "Laurena, Jobs, I'm sorry, I have to go to a few departments now,"

"It's okay, you go, we have eaten very well," Jobs stood up.

Feng Yiping felt that he had undoubtedly guessed right. After listening to Huang Jingping's words, Jobs was obviously relieved.

Otherwise, with his bad temper, even if Huang Jingping was a lady, he would not stand up at this time - how often has he been gentlemanly?

However, there were still some small flaws in the plan. Amanda refused to go to other places in the restaurant with her mother. She insisted on being with her father.

But fortunately, she was still young and couldn't understand some words.

Sure enough, as soon as Huang Jingping left, Laurene immediately said, "Feng, Steve has told me many times that I must thank you very much,"

"Thank you for thinking of Steve at that time,"

She was talking about the fund that Jobs also invested $1 billion in.

Although it is not time to harvest yet, the situation is already quite clear, and they should have a rough estimate of the final benefits, so as soon as Feng Yiping arrived in Silicon Valley this time, they arranged to treat him to a meal.

Feng Yiping looked at Jobs, and Jobs smiled at him, turned the fruit plate to Amanda, and picked the fruit with her.

"Laurena, it's really a bit awkward to say these words. You see, even Amanda treats you and Steve as family members,"

"We are a family, don't be so polite, and you know, this plan needs someone like Steve to be in charge, so I can feel at ease,"

Such words naturally made the Jobs couple feel very comfortable. Jobs picked up his water cup and clinked it with Feng Yiping.

As Feng Yiping expected, he would only use such an action to express his gratitude.

"Cheers," Feng Yiping and Laurene also clinked their glasses, "I am also not very good at expressing my feelings. For me, Steve is not only a senior whom I admire, but Laurene and Steve will always be my family that I can rely on in the United States,"

"No matter what conflicts we may have in the future business, I sincerely hope that this will never change,"

It happened that he took advantage of the current good atmosphere to express and elevate it.

Laurene said emotionally, "You know, Steve doesn't have many friends,"

This is really the truth. Jobs really has few friends, and most of them are people who have a lot of opinions about him, even within Apple.

Feng Yiping thought that when Jobs thought about this aspect in the dead of night, he probably felt bad.

"We are honored to have friends and family like you, Huang, and Amanda,"

After his wife finished speaking, Jobs suddenly put his hand on Feng Yiping's shoulder, looked at Feng Yiping, and said seriously, "Business matters will definitely not affect our relationship,"

Feng Yiping nodded, "Cheers,"

Immediately, the three cups clinked together.

Amanda immediately stood on tiptoe and raised her milk to join in the fun, "And me, don't forget me,"
