The next day, Susan arrived at the TV station as usual to start her day's work.
The TV station was on the 31st floor, and Susan's desk was by the best floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking out, she had a panoramic view of most of New York City.
Colleagues passing by Susan's desk all cast envious glances her way.
Susan now had the demeanor of a pillar of the TV station; even the current top anchor would greet Susan proactively.
After all, Susan was familiar with New York's superhero, Superman.
However, Susan was clear-headed and didn't become arrogant because of this; she always treated her colleagues with a smile and helped with small favors whenever she could.
She even shared some gossip about Superman with them! She was truly a treasure in everyone's hearts.
All sorts of small gifts piled up on Susan's desk, all tokens of gratitude from those she had helped.
She opened her computer and began her day's work.
The TV station also owned a newspaper, and Susan was writing an article for the front page.
She pulled up the photos taken yesterday on her computer; in the images, Lin Feng's sunny smile was incredibly infectious.
So handsome! How could a smile be so beautiful?
Unable to resist, Susan touched the computer screen, a silly smile on her face. In Eastern terms, it was probably a case of 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder.'
She quietly pulled out her phone and reread the text message Lin Feng had sent her last night.
"I'll pick you up after work tomorrow!"
Eight utterly uninspired words, yet Susan couldn't seem to read them enough...
At this moment, Lin Feng was sitting on the sofa at home, holding a book, his eyes sparkling with intelligence.
He read intently, occasionally exclaiming in wonder, as if a new world had opened up to him.
He kept muttering to himself.
"So there's this kind of operation!?"
"Tsk tsk..."
"My horizons are broadening, my horizons are broadening..."
Lin Feng flipped through the book, excitedly anticipating his date that evening.
"How is it? 100 prestige points weren't wasted, right?" The system's lazy voice chimed in.
"It's alright..." Hearing the annoying system speak, Lin Feng immediately suppressed his smile and feigned reluctance, saying, "It's nothing special, 10 prestige points would be more like it!"
"Idiot, I hope your date fails!" The system gave him the middle finger and fell silent.
"Hmph, fail? Those two words aren't in my dictionary," the handsome guy scoffed.
After carefully rehearsing the date's itinerary in his mind, Lin Feng was confident he had tonight's date in the bag.
First! Book a restaurant! It needed to be a bit upscale, with a comfortable atmosphere, suitable for two people.
So, the question was, what did Susan like to eat?
Lin Feng's incredible memory was put to full use at this moment; scenes of him and Susan together appeared vividly in his mind like clear photographs, one after another.
He keenly noticed a string of small fish pendants on Susan's keychain, at least three or four strung together.
Lin Feng had seen this pendant before; it was a complimentary gift from an affordable seafood restaurant.
The fishing boat Lin Feng rescued last month also had this logo.
Susan having several pendants proved she had visited this restaurant more than once.
Which meant Susan liked seafood! Lin Feng felt like Conan at this moment.
Lin Feng pulled out his phone and searched for famous seafood restaurants, deliberately choosing those run by Chinese people.
He wanted to take Susan to experience how mysterious Eastern chefs prepared seafood.
The variety of seafood dishes in his memory was dazzling, and each flavor was more exquisite than the last.
He believed Susan would have a great experience with the unique culinary skills of Eastern chefs.
"Hello? I'd like to book a table! For two people." Lin Feng dialed a restaurant's number.
"I'm sorry, sir, our tables are fully booked! You can reserve a table for tomorrow..." A apologetic voice came from the other end, speaking in friendly Chinese.
"Oh? Not for now..." Lin Feng hung up the phone, sighing in admiration. "Goodness, no wonder it's a restaurant run by compatriots; is business really that booming?"
It wasn't even lunchtime yet, and dinner tables were already fully booked?
Lin Feng didn't dwell on it and called several other seafood restaurants.
Unexpectedly, all the ones Lin Feng found appealing were fully booked! No reservations, not even with extra money!
Lin Feng was dumbfounded... What was going on? Was business really that good?
Who said the path of love was full of thorns? Was his first date already off to a bad start?
Lin Feng held his phone, lost in thought. Indeed, love wasn't that simple...
"Huh? How could I forget him?" After a long period of contemplation, Lin Feng suddenly slapped his thigh and dialed another number...
"Sir, Mr. Lin Feng is calling."
In his workshop, Tony was busy repairing his armor helmet when Jarvis's voice suddenly spoke.
Tony paused his work and instructed, "Hm? Put him through..."
"Hey! Tony!" A virtual screen popped up in the workshop, showing Lin Feng's large face.
"Oh! Isn't this our superhero?" Tony teased, "What, not saving the world today?"
"Uh..." Lin Feng was speechless. After some time apart, Tony was still as sharp-tongued.
"Superman needs a break too!"
"What about you? Haven't you been out fighting the 'evil' you talk about recently?" Lin Feng retorted.
Tony didn't fall for it. He held up the helmet in his hand and gestured, "My armor needs upgrading again! Let them live a little longer for now..."
He then proudly boasted, "This time, the armor will have greater speed! It'll be stronger and easier to wear!"
Facing Tony's boasting, Lin Feng scoffed disdainfully, "Upgrading over and over... still can't take one punch from me!"
He had won that round!
"Alright, buddy, what do you want?" Tony was feeling a bit numb and didn't want to hear Lin Feng's voice anymore. "If it's nothing, I'm hanging up; I'm busy!"
"Of course, it's something, Tony! And it's important!"
Lin Feng briefly explained that he had a date tonight.
Tony, who was initially uninterested, learned that this was Lin Feng's first date and instantly his face filled with an amused and peculiar smile.
"That's it? You've come to the right person!" Tony's nose was in the air. If there was anything Tony excelled at besides technology, it was definitely picking up women.
"Leave it to me to arrange! I'm good at this kind of thing!" Tony snapped his fingers. "I guarantee I'll arrange everything perfectly for you."
"Okay, Tony, this is my first date ever! I'm counting on you!" Lin Feng repeated solemnly, afraid Tony might pull some trick.
"No problem, tonight I'll arrange a special program for you! I guarantee you two will have an unforgettable night!" With that, he hung up before Lin Feng could react.
"Hey! Pepper, where are you!" After hanging up, Tony clapped his hands and shouted upstairs, "Our little Superman is in love! He needs your help!"
