Chapter 30 French Mushrooms

Zhang Xinpeng felt a sense of panic, unable to understand why something that should have been certain suddenly took a different turn. However, his first order of business now was to dispel Dr. Fegan's dislike of him. He went out of his way to ingratiate himself with Dr. Fegan, saying, "Dr. Fegan, you've come all this way, you must be tired. I have prepared accommodations for you at an inn, the best five-star hotel in Star Sea City. What do you think..."

"No need, I have my own arrangements." Fegan glanced at him with some disgust, then coldly refused, a dramatic change from his previous enthusiasm.

It was only upon reflection that Fegan realized his student seemed to have a less than favorable relationship with President Lin. Even if he were given several more doses of courage, he wouldn't dare form any connection with Zhang Xinpeng in front of Caesar. Now he wished only to keep as far away from him as possible, out of fear that Caesar would blame him.
