Ch 25: Chain Reaction
“What do we do now? This kid is growing too fast. We probably have to adjust our previous plans.”
Fan Debiao on the other end of the phone also fell into deep thought. Chu Qiu’s growth rate had disrupted their original plans, and he sighed helplessly.
“Now that we’ve helped him get on the horse, let’s give him another push. Life and death are destined, wealth is in the heavens. All we can do is try our best to pave the way for him.”
Fang Tian Ce took a deep breath of the cigar in his hand, slowly exhaling, his tone carrying a hint of determination.
“Don’t worry, I understand this kid. He’s not that easy to kill.” Fang Tian Ce’s tone was full of confidence, and he added, “Of course, if he really dies, that’s fate.”
“D*mn it!” Fan Debiao cursed, a hint of agreement flashing in his eyes, “You’re right. There’s been no news from the old man’s side so far, which makes me feel uneasy.”
“No news is good news, which means we did the right thing this time.” Fang Tian Ce replied confidently.
“That’s right, if it weren’t good news, our heads would have been chopped off and used as balls.” Fan Debiao nodded, agreeing with Fang Tian Ce’s analysis.
“By the way, that Chen family kid seems to have some interest in your daughter. Chu Qiu beat his younger brother yesterday, and today he’s teaming up with your daughter. Do you think he might have some bad intentions?”
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Fan Debiao suddenly thought of another matter that made him wary.
“I may not be able to control things elsewhere, but I still have the final say in Yu City.” Fang Tian Ce’s face instantly turned cold, “The day he moves against Chu Qiu will be the day his Chen family is wiped out!”
Hearing this, Fan Debiao couldn’t help but laugh and scold, “You show-off, you really are domineering, but I like it!” Then he hung up the phone.
Fang Tian Ce paced back and forth in his office, suddenly stopped, pushed the door open a crack, and shouted outside, “You damned Monk, are you stealing my wine again while I’m not here?”
Hearing the voice, the Monk ran in with a guilty look on his face, his eyes flickering.
Seeing this, Fang Tian Ce took another bottle of precious collection from the shelf and threw it to him, “Don’t drink during work hours. This is old stuff from the last century. There aren’t many collections left. One less for every bottle you drink.”
“Master, if you have any orders, just say them. I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation.”
The Monk grinned, quickly catching the wine bottle, hugging it in his arms like a treasure, and patted his chest to guarantee.
“You do this…” Fang Tian Ce lowered his voice and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Monk’s eyes, “Don’t worry, Master, I guarantee it will be done perfectly, without leaving any traces.”
After speaking, the Monk carefully put the wine in his arms, turned around and walked out. Fang Tian Ce shook his head helplessly as he watched his back.
At this moment, a burst of crisp footsteps came from outside the door, breaking the silence of the office.
Fang Tian Ce’s old face immediately broke into a smile, and he waved to Fang Yan, who was poking her head at the door, “Yan’er, come in quickly.”
As the head of a city, he was always tense, dealing with all kinds of complicated affairs.
Only at this moment could he truly relax and enjoy the warmth and comfort brought by family affection.
“Tell me how you cleared that Secret Realm. I need to write a report and apply to the higher-ups for material rewards.”
Fang Tian Ce’s tone carried a bit of expectation and pride.
Material resources were scarce. As a satellite city, every resource was carefully calculated and hard-won.
Breaking the Secret Realm record was a big deal. Rewards needed to be applied for from the higher-ups, which was important for inspiring people.
Fang Tian Ce knew this very well, so he attached great importance to this opportunity, especially since the person who broke the record was his own daughter!
“I was very tired after running around all day, but I’m not sleepy when you talk about this!”
The fatigue on Fang Yan’s face was swept away, and she vividly explained the whole process to the old man.
Chu Qiu didn’t go home. He rode in Fang Yan’s car and sent her to the entrance of Bridge Two Middle School, waiting to pick up Xia Mo to go home together.
It wasn’t time for school to end yet, and feeling a little bored, he opened his phone and downloaded an APP called “Doumi”.
He planned to cultivate his sentiments, review his lessons, and improve his appreciation ability.
He casually opened the Class Group, and he was surprised to find a bunch of messages popping up in the group, and they were rapidly flooding the screen.
Everyone was discussing the breaking of the Secret Realm record, and there was a fierce debate and imagination about whether it was Chu Qiu, with heated arguments and endless disputes.
“Yin You Xiaoyu: Chu Qiu has messed up my heart. When will he mess up my bed?”
“Girl Who Loves to Bite Straws: You guys say, Chu Qiu is so handsome and so strong, will the straw be thick and long?”
“Little Filth Meets Big Filth: Cough cough… I just don’t have the talent. Give me a blindfold and I can become a Ninja Turtle.”
“Le Ji Sheng Bei: Everyone is just playing a supporting role. If you’re a passerby, you have to be aware that you’re a passerby.”
“If You Don’t Succeed, You’ll Become a Box: Junk food is usually especially delicious, and beasts in clothing also look talented. Welcome to face north!”
“Ben Er Youth: Isn’t life like this? Up and down, inside and out, in and out, there will always be a day when the engine blows.”
“Ju Bu You Xiao Xue: Once you enter the dirty group, integrity is just a passerby!”
……
Chu Qiu looked at these very yellow and violent, very silly and innocent remarks, which were very boring, but he liked them very much!
“Where are you?”
The ‘APP that he had been dreaming about was finally downloaded. Chu Qiu’s finger hovered over the icon, ready to explore it.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up, showing that there was an incoming message. He clicked it open and saw that it was from Mentor Xiao Ya.
Chu Qiu casually raised his phone, aimed it at the familiar and slightly old mottled wall at the school gate, and pressed the shutter.
“Wait for me.”
Almost as soon as the message was sent, he received Xiao Ya’s short and powerful reply.
In less than two minutes, he saw her running from a distance, trembling. Chu Qiu’s heart seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, jumping with her running, his eyes closely following.
“Here you go!”
Xiao Ya ran to Chu Qiu, stopped, took out a beautifully designed card from her bag, and handed it to him.
“Mentor Xiao Ya, are you planning to directly take care of me? I am a person with principles. I sell my body but not my kidneys.”
The card shone with a soft light in the sun, and the patterns and lines on it looked particularly delicate. Unexpectedly, Chu Qiu didn’t take it.
He was a person who cared about his face, and he also knew the principle of not accepting unearned rewards. Although the temptation of money was great, he also had to distinguish whether it was comfortable to take it.
(Someone’s inner ORZ: Good things have to be written sparingly, otherwise, with Chu Qiu’s character, he won’t be able to continue writing.)
Hearing this, Xiao Ya couldn’t help but roll her eyes, and handed the card to his hand again, “A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory. Someone asked me to give this to you.”
Chu Qiu’s heart moved, and he tentatively asked, “The reward for the Secret Realm record?”
Xiao Ya shook her head again. As the black sheep of the class, the troublemaker, Chu Qiu’s performance surprised her.
