The Real Way to Cultivate in the City-Chapter 62: Father and Son, Father and Daughter
The Name-Slinging Geezer was sitting in the study, lying on a recliner, holding his phone and watching the constantly updating hot topics of Ke Chen City—
Swipe, Extraordinary Power.
Swipe, a celebrity’s underground romance exposed.
Swipe, City Management Team.
Swipe, what work brings to young people.
Swipe, Superpower Awakening.
Swipe, egg discount promotion... How did this make it to trending searches?
Swipe, ...
The information updates were quick.
And there were some topics about the extraordinary, upon clicking, it’s...
Anime commentary.
Cool skills of various anime characters, including but not limited to... Energy Fighting Horse.
"Knock, knock, knock."
After a series of knocks on the door, the captain of the City Management Team walked into the study, smiling lightly:
"Geezer, the effect of this operation is very good; the Extraordinary Universal School in our place should no longer have cadre-level powers.
I’ve reinforced the sealed-off area near the fashion boutique again; our internal circle is clean, no one has popped up, and there’s also..."
"You little brat, don’t talk to me about it, I’m already this old, retired, don’t want to rack my brain. Also, don’t get me involved in sneaky stuff next time, it puts me in an awkward position with my card buddies. Are you going to handle them?"
"Of course they need to be handled! Playing cards during work is wrong to begin with; this time, I can use them as a bad example. Fortunately, this was intentional for a fishing expedition; otherwise, based on their performance, it could have been disastrous!"
The Name-Slinging Geezer waved his hand, a gesture of sending off.
The Captain of the City Management Team shrugged his shoulders and left.
After the study’s door was closed, the Team Captain walked away slowly, turning around at the corner, looking deeply in the direction of the study:
"I hope it wasn’t you."
...
After hearing no movements outside, the Name-Slinging Geezer opened his contact list, found the contact tagged as ’son,’ and dialed a video call.
The video call was quickly answered.
"Son, how’s work been these days?"
"Dad, you should know, getting to this position at my age wasn’t easy. Now, advancing is still difficult."
"If it’s difficult, how about... coming home? It’s too tiring to struggle outside; come home, Dad still has some connections in Ke Chen City to find you a job, that’s no problem."
"No way, I need to make a name for myself. You don’t need to worry about me too much, you’re getting old and should take care of your health..."
"..."
Father and son chatted like regular father-son banter.
A father concerned about his son’s career and health.
A son worried about his father’s health.
Very harmonious...
But if this call was made in the confinement room, whether Zhen Haoren, Dog Trainer, or Internet Troll, they would be immediately attracted.
After all...
The voice on the other end of the video call sounds exactly like Dog Legs!
If they could look closer at the phone screen, they’d find that not only did the voice resemble, but the appearance was also strikingly similar...
Then...
There cannot possibly be such a coincidence in the world!
The person on the other end of the line is indeed Dog Legs!
Under Gluttonous Legislator in the Extraordinary Universal School, the most capable cadre!
"Alright, alright, you’ve always been quirky since you were little; I can’t persuade you anyway. Just take care outside, be safe, and when doing things, always be righteous! Remember, always righteous!"
"Dad, don’t worry, even at school, I never copied homework; how could I not be righteous? Let me tell you a secret, I feel my direct boss’s health isn’t doing well. If he steps down, I might have a chance for a promotion."
"Don’t curse him."
"Oh, sorry, I said it wrong. I wish my boss a long life, and good health, so he can promote me along the way! Ah, I can’t talk anymore, my boss is calling."
"Okay, bye."
...
Hung up the video call.
Dog Legs looked at the call from Gluttonous Legislator, rubbed his face a bit sore from smiling, then immediately put on a flattering smile after recovering.
Connected the video call.
"Cough, cough, Dog Legs, what did you post on the forum! Jealousy is upset, why are his calls coming here?"
Dog Legs didn’t immediately explain, just sprang up quickly.
Even though Gluttonous Legislator wasn’t physically present, he still held the phone and knelt on the ground, then started explaining the situation from the beginning...
"Cough, cough, I understand now, Internet Troll asked for so many resources from us, demanded five million cash in one breath, yet brought us no return! Cough, cough.
That surely is an issue of Jealousy. He needs to change his staff around."
Dog Legs’ head knocked several loud times on the floor, and after bleeding, he corrected his posture and made a self-reflection:
"I also made errors; had I identified earlier, we wouldn’t have suffered such losses and troubled you in your busy schedule about this issue! It’s my fault! My fault!"
"No worries, it’s not a big problem. I’ll have a good talk with Jealousy. This matter, don’t concern yourself."
Beep.
The video was hung up.
Dog Legs, still kneeling, didn’t immediately get up.
He simply touched the blood on his forehead, tasted it on his lips:
"So sweet."
...
"Dad, here’s the new product behind our store—milk tea powder. Just mix with hot water to drink; want to try?"
"Are you using me as a lab rat now?"
"No way, I’ve brought it to you because you’re my most favorite dad! It’s not even on sale at the market yet! I tell you, when I brought the milk tea powder for inspection, folks at the quality check station kept several packs!"
"Alright, let me try it!"
In the study, Li Chuchu brewed a cup of milk tea powder for her father, the middle-aged man in front of her, which lacked manufacturer name, address, and health permit codes...
After receiving the milk tea from his well-behaved daughter, Mr. Li sniffed it, took a sip, his eyes lit up:
"Not bad."
Upon hearing this, Li Chuchu smiled, sweetly asking:
"Then, my most, most, most favorite dad, will you invest in me?"
"Will you come home for matchmaking to marry?"
"No."
"Then my answer is also no."
Saying this, Mr. Li was about to take another sip; honestly, it’s been a long time since he drank such a cheap beverage, and it was quite nice.
Unfortunately, before his lips touch the cup, Li Chuchu snatched it away.
"Humph! You’re really... selfish, never saving good stuff for Mom."
Saying this, Li Chuchu hastily ran out of the study, holding the cup.
Watching his daughter’s back running off, Mr. Li shook his head, pulled a document from the desk’s shelf.
Opened it.
The first page was Lin Hao’s ID photo.
Moreover, it detailed Lin Hao’s personal information.
"Although he’s a Superpower User, stepping into the extraordinary, he remains just a superpower user. Awakening at such an age limits future achievements greatly."
As he said this, there was neither elevation nor degradation; Mr. Li was calmly stating a fact.
"Life is quite monotonous, no indecent activities.
Find a few pretty girls to chase Lin Hao, having Lin Hao fall in love is best...
If not, find an excellent guy to have more contact with Nannan...
Shouldn’t forcibly break them up, remember, you’re a mature father, mustn’t overly interfere with your daughter’s feelings...
If Lin Hao becomes successful someday, if Nannan finds out I forcibly disrupted her relationship causing her to resent me, or I get humiliated, my lifelong reputation will be ruined!"
Half an hour later.
Watching Nannan hurriedly leave home, Mr. Li looked at his wife, speaking earnestly:
"Was it Lin Hao who just called our daughter away?"
"Yes, honey."
"When Lin Hao calls, our daughter doesn’t even plan to dine with us?"
"Yes, honey."
"I... must break them up!"
"Honey, they aren’t even together yet."
"I don’t care! I don’t care! I don’t care! Drives me crazy! Drives me crazy! Didn’t you just see how Nannan smiled? She never smiled like that at me, ever!
And just now!
Right in my presence!
Lin Hao sends her a message, look at her smile, drives me crazy! Drives me crazy! I want to break them up!"
"Calm down, calm down, don’t be angry anymore. Our daughter just asked me to save you a pack of milk tea powder, unopened, drink within three days."
"My Nannan indeed still loves her father, I... I’m so touched!"
