Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 284 - 154: Grandmaster Status, One Man’s Success Brings Glory to All His Associates
Otherwise, he’d probably give me a couple of hard slaps to snap me out of it!
Damn it, just you wait, Wu! Once I break through and become a Grandmaster, I’ll definitely show off big time in front of your useless ass. If I don’t, I, Liu Yi, won’t be surnamed Liu anymore!
Watching Old Wu, Liu Yi silently made a vow in his heart. He was determined to repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold! But before that, what needed to be endured, must be endured! Insufficient strength—there was nothing to be done about it! If anyone was to blame, it was him for squandering too much time! So much so that he had completely squandered his talent!
...
After settling the bill, Liu Yi followed Wu Hegui out of the restaurant.
Liu Yi got into Old Wu’s car, heading with him to see that youngest Grandmaster in history, who lived in Shishi.
「And it was on their way there.」
Talltree District, Fuqiang Village, Harvest Road, number 466—Zhang Beixing’s home.
Standing in front of this closed gate for the third time, Zhang Beixing didn’t quite know how to describe his current emotions. Frustration, helplessness, happiness? Perhaps a bit of everything. Returning home three times, and three times being turned away. Even the great Dayu didn’t receive such treatment when he was taming the floods back then! And Dayu was just passing by his home, not trying to enter. He, on the other hand, couldn’t even get in if he damn well wanted to!
Calculating the time, since they sent me the message, they should be on the bus by now. Looks like I’ll have to wait another half hour or so. Might as well scroll through Douyin!
Calculating the time and realizing it wouldn’t be long, Zhang Beixing simply sat at the doorstep, lit a cigarette, and started scrolling through his phone.
Although he had been involved with Lin Siqi, watching these women dance was still Zhang Beixing’s favorite pastime. Watching them sway their waists, lift their hips, and swing their arms to the rhythm of the background music, Zhang Beixing felt his spirits uplifted by another degree.
So, without hesitation, he double-tapped the screen and continued scrolling down.
As he was engrossed in his phone, a deep male voice came from the side, interrupting Zhang Beixing’s scrolling. "Hello, young friend. Might I ask if this is the residence of Senior Zhang Beixing?"
Hearing the question, Zhang Beixing looked up. He saw a man in a Sun Yat-sen suit, looking quite imposing with an extraordinary air, standing beside him carrying a box, a smile on his face. Zhang Beixing glanced behind the man and saw that following him were quite a few others, dressed similarly, also with extraordinary demeanors, and all carrying things.
However, that wasn’t the main point right now. The main point was...
Brother Fenghua? Zhang Beixing spotted a familiar figure in the crowd, squinted his eyes slightly, and let out a soft "Huh?" of surprise.
Hearing this, Chen Fenghua, who was chatting with others in the crowd, was taken aback. The address and the tone of voice sounded familiar, so he turned his head to look, and his eyes met Zhang Beixing’s, who was sitting on the ground and had also turned his head.
Their eyes met—it was someone he knew!
"Brother Zhang?" Chen Fenghua exclaimed in pleasant surprise. He stopped chatting with the people around him, quickly straightened his clothes, and hurried over.
As he walked, he said, "Brother Zhang, it’s only been a month, but you’ve changed so much! I almost didn’t recognize you at first glance."
"Brother Fenghua, you too! You put on clothes... Bah, no, I mean, after changing into this Sun Yat-sen suit, wow, your whole presence is different! I almost thought the District Head of Talltree District had arrived; I hardly dared to recognize you!" Seeing Chen Fenghua approaching, Zhang Beixing got up from the ground, dusted off his pants, and shook hands with Chen Fenghua.
Chen Fenghua laughed. "Brother Zhang, you’re exaggerating. It’s not that dramatic! But speaking of which, why are you sitting out here by the gate instead of inside? Did you have a tiff with your family?"
"Sigh, I wish it were just a tiff. The problem is, ever since summer vacation started, my home’s been empty. My parents went to Sanya for a relative’s wedding. They just got off the high-speed rail today and haven’t made it back yet!" Zhang Beixing explained.
Chen Fenghua tutted. "So that’s how it is. I was wondering why you were gallivanting all over the country—Yanjing one moment, Yiling the next. Aiya, if I’d known, you should have just told me! I would have sent a driver to pick you up and bring you to our Chen Family. You must have suffered quite a bit out there!"
Zhang Beixing scratched his head. "Well, I didn’t want to trouble you back then. As for suffering, it was alright. I actually gained quite a lot during my time away!"
Chen Fenghua clapped his hands. "Brother Zhang, now you’re being too distant! Between us brothers, what’s there to talk about trouble or not? That’s what brothers are for! Don’t be like this next time. If anything comes up, just call your big brother. Could I possibly mind?"
"Besides, if you had come, my family would have been overjoyed. You have no idea, ever since your vacation started, not only has my dad been talking about you every day, but even Rourou often mumbles, wondering when you’ll come visit the Chen Family Manor. And yet you... Sigh, big brother here really doesn’t know what to say about you!" Chen Fenghua said, his face full of regret.
「Almost at the very moment Chen Fenghua finished speaking」
In Chen Rourou’s room at the Chen Family Manor.
ACHOO!
Lying on her bed, engrossed in watching ’Empresses in the Palace’ on her phone, Chen Rourou, having just sneezed for no apparent reason, rubbed her nose.
