Source of Calamity CH 062 Older Man In Love

In the teaching building, the girls were whispering.

“Did you see that handsome guy at the door when you came in?”

“God, he’s really handsome! He’s tall, with long legs, not to mention that face. I really want to strike up a conversation, but I didn’t dare.”

“Have you seen the watch he was wearing? I have seen the brand, but I haven’t seen that model. It must be custom-made. The cheapest basic model of that company is at least 200,000 yuan. High-end luxury brand, I am convinced.”

“Looks and money, damn, if I was more beautiful, I would definitely ask for a phone number.”

“I wonder whose boyfriend he is, either way I haven’t seen him in school before.”

“I know, I know, just now I heard him asking where Lin Manman’s class is.”

“Lin Manman, the name sounds familiar.”

“You don’t know the most popular girl in the sophomore year, the goddess of all geeks? She’s even a rich second generation.”

“Ai, I thought so, rich people are only friends with rich people, ai.”

“But I think Lin Manman is just average.”

“Lin Manman is still average? I think she is quite pretty.”

When Shen Zhen found Lin Manman, Lin Manman was just finished with class. She had long black hair like a waterfall, wore simple and elegant clothes, and light makeup on her face. Among girls, she was quite outstanding.

“Lin Manman, that handsome guy seems to be waiting for you to come out.” Lin Manman’s friend whispered, “Just now someone said that a guy is waiting for you downstairs the teaching building. How did you know such a handsome guy? You didn’t reveal a hint.”

Lin Manman was also at a loss: “I don’t know him.”

The friend pushed her over: “Go and ask.”

Lin Manman looked at Shen Zhen, a little nervous, but soon pulled herself together and walked over with a smile on her face.

“Lin Manman?” Seeing Lin Manman approaching, Shen Zhen called out her name.

Lin Manman: “Yes, it’s me, and you?”

Shen Zhen took out a paper bag from behind, which contained a cup of milk tea. He handed the paper bag to Lin Manman, and then introduced himself, “I am Han Lang’s brother. I bought this cup of milk tea at the gate of your school. It hasn’t been opened.”

Only then did Lin Manman take out the milk tea and put in a straw. She stood beside Shen Zhen, her heart pounding against her chest like a deer, and she lowered her head: “Han Lang hasn’t come to school these days, is he sick?”

Shen Zhen didn’t expect that Lin Manman didn’t know about it yet, so he asked gently, “You aren’t dating Han Lang?”

Lin Manman hastily explained: “We are just friends. He said some time ago that he wanted to make a small game app. I happened to be free, so I worked with him on it.”

After all, in garden landscapes they also learned model design. Although it was not necessary for small games, scene design was still possible.

Lin Manman suddenly asked: “What happened to him? Did something happen?”

Shen Zhen: “Sun Yun, do you know him?”

Lin Manman’s face suddenly turned pale: “Did he trouble Han Lang? I have explained to him several times but he is very domineering. I dated him in my freshman year, but I just can’t stand his machismo so I broke up with him. After we broke up, he several times he has threatened my male friends.”

“I also told Han Lang about this.” Lin Manman explained anxiously, “Han Lang said it’s okay, that he isn’t dating me, and Sun Yun has no reason to bother him.”

Lin Manman: “Han Lang…..did something really happen to him?”

Shen Zhen nodded: “He was sent to the hospital last night, and is still in a coma.”

Lin Manman’s face turned pale: “How can this be…..”

“I’ll call Sun Yun, I want to ask him.”

Lin Manman took out her mobile phone and pulled up Sun Yun’s number from the blacklist.

Lin Manman took Shen Zhen to a quiet corner and turned on the speaker.

The connection was made within ten seconds after the number was called.

“Manman? Taking the initiative to call me? Have you figured it out?”

Lin Manman pressed the record button.

She asked: “Sun Yun, I have told you many times, we have already broken up, please don’t pester me and the people around me anymore, Han Lang and I…..”

The male voice on the other line interrupted her violently: “I said it before! You can’t be with any man in this life except me! What is Han Lang? Does he have money like me? What can you get from being with him? Let me tell you, if you still want to be with Han Lang, he will only be worse off than now!”

Lin Manman: “Speak clearly, what did you do to Han Lang?!”

Male voice: “Don’t worry about it, you just have to remember, whoever dares to date you except me, Han Lang’s fate will be their fate!”

Lin Manman yelled at the phone: “I have no feelings for you, and I don’t want to be with you, I’m not your property!”

Sun Yun snorted coldly: “What you say doesn’t count.”

Lin Manman glanced at Shen Zhen, and Shen Zhen nodded to her.

Lin Manman’s tone softened: “Sun Yun, I really have nothing to do with Han Lang.”

Sun Yun said: “I don’t care if there is anything or not, anyway, whoever dares to touch my woman, I will make him pay the price. I’m not afraid of you knowing that Han Lang’s beating is his own fault, if it wasn’t because he didn’t want to kneel down and apologize to me, I would not have him beat so miserably.”

Lin Manman was trembling with anger.

Just as she was about to say something, Sun Yun said, “I still have something to do. I will pick you up from school at night, so I’ll hang up first.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Manman said to Shen Zhen guiltily: “I didn’t know he would really do this, otherwise I wouldn’t have worked on the game with Han Lang…..”

Shen Zhen: “It’s not your fault.”

Lin Manman looked up at Shen Zhen. Under the sun, Shen Zhen’s eyelashes looked very long, long and curled, and his facial features were also very fine and exquisite.

Some people passed by and saw the two of them and began to joke goodnaturedly, especially those who knew Lin Manman.

“Manman, your boyfriend? He is so handsome!”

“Manman, remember to treat me to dinner!”

“Your boyfriend is so handsome! You must cherish it, Manman!”

Lin Manman’s face turned red and then white.

Shen Zhen: “Let’s add friends, and you can send me the recording.”

Lin Manman nodded: “Okay, if you have any news, or if you need me to do something, you can tell me.”

Lin Manman said: “This incident also happened because of me…..”

Shen Zhen nodded: “En.”

There was a recording, witness, and medical record provided by the hospital. The only thing missing now was the surveillance video.

Shen Zhen looked at his watch, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon. He hadn’t eaten all day, but he still didn’t feel hungry.

The awards ceremony started at seven o’clock, and Shen Zhen had to go back now.

The awards ceremony this time was held by a local TV station. Shen Zhen went home and changed into a formal suit before driving to the TV station.

Qin Xing had already arrived, and was in the backstage lounge of the TV station.

Shen Zhen walked into the backstage and found that Qin Xing was the only one sitting in the lounge.

“Only Uncle is here?” Shen Zhen asked strangely.

Qin Xing was reading the newspaper. He put the newspaper down and smiled at Shen Zhen: “The others are in another lounge.”

Shen Zhen understood: “Uncle’s special treatment.”

Qin Xing chuckled.

Shen Zhen was suddenly a little embarrassed. Ever since he and Qin Xing pierced the window paper, he always felt embarrassed easily.

“It’s the first time for me to attend an awards ceremony.” Shen Zhen sat next to Qin Xing, and went to get the teacup with slightly stiff movements.

Qin Xing’s movements were very natural. He stretched out an arm and put it directly around Shen Zhen’s shoulder.

“Don’t be nervous.” Qin Xing said, “Xiao Zhen is the best.”

Shen Zhen blurted out: “You are just saying that because the beauty is in the eye of the beholder…..”

But before he finished speaking, Shen Zhen felt something was wrong with the phrase he used. He really wanted to dig a hole for himself. Why did he feel so shameless when he said that.

“Xiao Zhen is right.” Qin Xing smiled and kissed Shen Zhen’s earlobe.

Shen Zhen’s ears turned red instantly, and it even twitched. Why did he feel that Qin Xing seemed to have become a different person since the kiss from last time, and that the Uncle Qin who had always been calm, self-contained and abstinent was gone forever.

He suddenly missed that Uncle Qin a little bit.

“Are you hungry?” Qin Xing asked.

Shen Zhen shook his head: “I’m not hungry, I don’t want to eat.”

Qin Xing: “I’ll take you to dinner after the awards ceremony is over.”

Shen Zhen did not refuse.

There weren’t many people in the studio. After all, it was a local TV station. It didn’t have much funding, so it didn’t invite audiences. It was enough for one to come on stage when his name was called by the host.

Shen Zhen didn’t know who wrote the introduction for him, and he got goosebumps when he heard it.

“Shen Zhen, chairman and general manager of Tonghui Enterprise, is a young entrepreneur who puts the people in his heart and is committed to serving the people. Although he is young, he is humble and Tonghui Enterprise which is involved in real estate and network information has made outstanding contributions to the stability of the market, and at the same time provides a better network platform for the public. All roads lead to Rome, and emerging industries can also become the pillars of society!”

Shen Zhen blushed when he heard this in the audience, it was like a public punishment.

So embarrassing.

Qin Xing didn’t hold back, and also laughed out loud, saying to Shen Zhen in a low voice, “Go on.”

Shen Zhen could only go up still with a blush.

Although his speech was memorized in advance, Shen Zhen still missed two sentences.

He really didn’t want to participate in such an award ceremony in the future, what was the point? Other than to suffer an execution of embarrassment in public.

The employees working at Qin Group the next day found that the company’s big screen in the lobby was all turned on. In fact, this screen was rarely turned on. Usually it was only turned on when there were important notifications. However, as soon as they went to work today, the screen kept playing Shen Zhen winning an award.

“Isn’t this CEO Qin’s secretary?”

“A young entrepreneur.”

“Who said last time that he has an improper relationship with Mr. Qin? Got slapped in the face, huh?”

“He looks even more handsome on TV. Has a good relationship with Mr. Qin, and has his own money and company. Damn, what a winner in life.”

“But…..having said that, why is it being played on a loop?”

“…..Why do I have the feeling that Mr. Qin is showing off?”

“Honestly, I feel the same way.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

“That’s right. When Eldest Young Master Qin received an award before, the company never broadcast it, let alone broadcast it on a loop.”

Assistant Ma, who knew every inside information, walked by arrogantly.

Hmph, when an older man falls in love, it was like a house catching on fire. You people just wait and see, this kind of level is only relatively modest.

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 074 Eternal Glory

James and several cavalrymen were galloping through the snow.

A scroll written full of numbers and calculations was stuffed in his sleeve, and his breathing was as heavy as a blacksmith’s bellows. He was panting from exhaustion, partly wanting to laugh, and partly wanting to yell at a certain idiot.

Making a castle architect flee from the battlefield with a group of people, did that idiot think he was also some kind of knight who could wield a sword and wear armor? Believe it or not, he would just kneel down and beg for mercy when a few horses from the enemy caught up with him?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

James took the last cavalry in Newcastle, having escaped through the secret passage south of the castle.

James didn’t know anything about the battlefield, he was just an architect who worked with wood and stone all day long.

But even he, when in the early morning of yesterday, saw the rebel army’s salamander banner with a white background instead of the rose flag with a red background flying on the horizon, understood the change in the battle situation.

The Duke of Buckingham, who used offense instead of defense, did not return, but a flood of enemies came.

This time the siege was more violent than the previous one.

The time since the last siege was too short, they barely had time to repair the cracked city walls, and the collapsed towers had no time to rebuild. The enemy was not in a hurry to climb the city, but pushed the trebuchet onto the battlefield, aiming to bombard the repaired city walls.

Amidst the loud rumble, Newcastle was crumbling.

The commander stayed on the city wall from morning until evening, directing at the top of his voice. But everyone knew that Newcastle could not be held.

The enemy gradually began to mount the top of the city wall.

The commander found James at that time with a detachment of cavalry.

He pointed to James and said to the cavalrymen, “He has confidential information on him. Even if you die, you must send him to the King properly.”

“I have a fart——”

Before James even finished, the commander strode over and grabbed him by the collar.

“I’m not trying to save you.” The commander who had already suffered a broken arm was short of breath, and he said in a hoarse voice, “I’m begging you to save my brothers! If I’m here, they will never run away! So I beg you, take them away! I beg you to save their lives!”

After the commander finished speaking, he let go of him.

“Take him away!”

At the command of the commander, those knights with red eyes came up and grabbed James and retreated towards the secret passage.

“Tell His Majesty! The Gulundi heavy cavalry has arrived!”

The commander said this final word to him, and then rushed to the wall again with great strides. He drew out his sword and cut down the rebels who climbed up from the breach in the city wall.

James saw him hold the sword in one hand, raised it high, and slashed down with all his might, beheading a rebel.

Blood spurted from the man’s neck like a fountain, dousing half of the commander. His hair and face was covered with blood, dripping down drop by drop. James didn’t know if the same blood would be sprayed out if the commander himself was beheaded.

The knights escorted James and escaped from the south side of the castle. The enemy’s attack focused on the north, and there were not many rebels outside the secret passage in the south.

Before leaving the castle and rushing into the snow field, James looked back at the castle he designed himself for the last time.

Faintly, black smoke enveloped the sky above the castle, which was the flames of war ignited on the battlefield.

Newcastle was doomed to fall.

James understood.

After the castle was captured, the rebel army would also think about repairing it, and the carpenters and workers in the city would survive. But the commander and the soldiers defending the city, they would surely die.

Running fast under the starry night, an architect and several cavalrymen fled desperately.

They had with them the last order of a commander:

——Tell the King that the Gulundi heavy cavalry had arrived.

They had rode all night, and James felt that his life would end on the saddle if this continued.

It was a mistake for him to come to Legrand, otherwise he would still be a man who built churches in safety. Thinking so, James waved his whip, and once again urged the horse under him to gallop forward.

The war horse galloped up to a small hill, and suddenly reared as if frightened. James was shocked, and he tugged on the rein, trying to calm the horse. But not only was he unsuccessful, he also rolled off the horse and fell headlong into the icy snow.

A mouthful of snow was poured down his throat abruptly, and James rolled over, struggling to get up from the snow.

As soon as he got up, he understood why the war horse was frightened.

On the far horizon, smoke and dust were faintly rolled up. In the smoke and dust, hundreds of blood-red banners spread out, forming a continuous wave.

James opened his mouth and the snow that he accidentally swallowed chilled his heart and lungs. He coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

The bloody wave rushed towards him from a distance, and arrived in front of his eyes in an instant. The cavalry behind James exclaimed. Seeing that James, who had rolled onto the snow slope, was about to be trampled into mincemeat by the war horse, the leading knight reined the horse in the nick of time, and stopped at a distance less than three steps away from James.

Behind the knight, all the war horses stopped at the same time, instantly turning from a galloping torrent into a still vast ocean. The banners rolled up and fluttered fiercely, but the war horses had all stood still, and at this moment they were blowing out streams of white smoke from their noses.

James narrowly escaped death and stood up on unsteady legs from the side of the horse.

He had just stood up, but the knights behind got off their horses and knelt down in the snow.

“Greetings Your Majesty!”

Startled, James looked up at the leading knight.

The knight was wearing armor with his back against the light, so he couldn’t see his face clearly. It was near dawn, and there was a layer of faint blue light between the sky and the earth. Now this cold blue light fell on the knight, plating him like a piece of iron that was fished out of the fire and quenched with ice.

James suddenly remembered that a few days ago, when the Duke of Buckingham led the cavalry into battle, it was also in such a faint and cold morning light.

“You came from Newcastle?”

The King was on horseback, the people behind him were too far away, and the people in front of him were kneeling. Everyone could only hear his calm voice, and no one saw his trembling hands holding the rein and whip.

“The city…..the city is captured.”

The voice of the cavalryman who answered trembled slightly. He was the commander’s retinue, and he was also the commander’s best friend.

Silence.

There was silence between heaven and earth, as if even the war horses did not dare to neigh.

The cold wind from the north made people’s fingers stiff, and the blood in their veins frozen. The King felt that the ice particles in the air were poured into his lungs along his breath, and the coldness that could not be warmed by fire leaked out from the cracks in his bones. The bad premonition came true, and the last bit of hope sunk slowly into the abyss.

“Explain.”

The King’s ice blue eyes fixed on the cavalryman.

“What happened?”

The cavalryman took off his helmet and slammed it heavily on the snow. James didn’t realize until then that he was actually still quite young. The taciturn knight that fled with him along the way had a childish round face.

“His Excellency the Duke broke through the first siege on the city, but the city wall was damaged, making it impossible to defend it. His Excellency was determined to intercept the second batch of rebel troops…..” The young knight’s voice was hoarse, as if each word was soaked in blood, “His Excellency died in battle, the commander swore to defend the city to the death, and had us tell His Majesty——the Gulundi heavy cavalry has arrived!”

The duke died in battle, and the Gulundi heavy cavalry arrived.

Like two boulders suddenly crashing into the calm lake, the army couldn’t help but burst into exclamations.

His Excellency the Duke…..

Died in battle.

The King’s Adam’s apple rolled, he clenched his teeth, and raised his head. It was as if the exhaustion of two days and one night of rapid march suddenly crashed over him, and the world in front of him seemed to suddenly turn black, and all the colors in the world turned gray.

Drip.

The sound of blood dripping seemed to be heard again in his ear, light and soft, causing his breathing to become extremely difficult in an instant. That drop of blood…..that was the blood of the Duke of Buckingham, his uncle’s blood.

What was surging in his heart? What was it that froze him a bit by bit?

He once had nothing, and when he came to Legrand, he shouldered the fate of a country and a family. But he finally had something. How much did he own? How much could he lose? Should he weep? Should he roar or scream? Who would teach him to roar, to scream?

In his years past, everyone wanted him to die. He struggled to survive amidst the hatred and coldness of the world. He was no longer able to cry or be weak. Now who could tell him what to do when he was so full of sorrow? How did one let their tears flow down?

Too long a silence.

A cavalryman stepped out of the ranks and came to the King’s side.

He was the lieutenant general of the Iron Rose Cavalry and an old cavalryman who was familiar with the Duke of Buckingham.

When the King decided to carry out military reforms and form a new royal military, the Duke of Buckingham was still worried that General Sheehan was too young and inexperienced, so he appointed him as the lieutenant general of the Iron Rose Cavalry.

The lieutenant general walked up to the King, who was looking in the direction of Newcastle.

When he saw the King, the lieutenant general almost thought that the King would whip his horse at any moment and rush to the place where the Duke of Buckingham might be buried.

The knuckles of the King’s hand holding the whip had turned cold and bloodless, but the whip was still not swung out in the end.

“Your Majesty…..” The lieutenant general spoke in a low voice. At that moment, he felt that what he saw was not Legrand’s monarch, but a young man who had lost his last respected elder, the nephew of the Duke of Buckingham.

Perhaps the Duke of Buckingham might be more than just an uncle to the King…..He was the one who guarded him with his life. William III died too early. The Duke of Buckingham was likely equivalent to a father to the King.

What choice would a child who lost his father make? What choice should he make?

“Withdraw!”

The King bowed his head, the shadow of his helmet covering his face, and the always proud and powerful monarch looked like a sad youth at this moment. But his voice was clearly still that of the King.

He was the nephew of the Duke of Buckingham…..

 But also a king!

Anyone could cry, anyone could suffer, anyone could be desperately angry, but only the king couldn’t.

The army broke out into noise.

The cavalry did not expect such an order from the King.

The Duke of Buckingham was killed in battle, wouldn’t the King avenge the Duke?

“I said——withdraw!”

The King growled like a young lion suddenly enraged.

“Withdraw to Benz City!”

The lieutenant general looked silently at the King whose head was lowered.

He remembered that he once asked the Duke of Buckingham why he had been guarding the young king for more than ten years. At that time, the Duke of Buckingham said “because he is the hope of the Rose family, he will be a true emperor”.

The lieutenant general didn’t understand at the time.

Now he understood.

Withdrawing troops now was what they really should do.

He knew the Duke of Buckingham very well, and he knew what the royal cavalry commanded by the Duke of Buckingham was like. But the Duke of Buckingham died in battle. And Newcastle has fallen, and it was pointless for them to move forward. The galloping vanguard cavalry did not carry any siege equipment with them. Not only could they not take the castle back from the enemy, they might even have to face the Gulundi heavy cavalry that had already arrived.

This was a battle that was likely to be lost for the exhausted Iron Rose Cavalry which had been marching for several days and nights.

Whatever the military situation ahead was, everything was unknown, and the soldiers should not be pointlessly put in danger. This was what any general who commanded an army must do.

The death of the Duke of Buckingham was a great disaster for the whole of Legrand. At this time, they couldn’t afford a second catastrophic defeat, which would plunge the entire Northland counter-insurgency war into a downturn.

So——

They could only withdraw.

Withdraw to the nearest autonomous city to them, Benz City. Guard there and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.

This was what they should really do.

The lieutenant general took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow and sadness. He took one last look at the King, turned his horse, and returned to the army.

The King stood numbly in the ice and snow, watching under his command, the front of the cavalry turning into the rear, and the rear turning into the front, and slowly leave in the direction they came from in the snow.

The King stood still and did not move.

Soon, the King was the only one left on the snow slope.

He suddenly burst out in broken laughter.

No tears, no weeping, only hoarse, suppressed laughter in a torn voice.

Anger and sorrow surged through his veins, stirring up the madness of the ancient Rose family. His dead father, his dead uncle, all his dead ancestors…..their will revived in him.

The King raised his head in the north wind, looked up at the vast sky, and squeezed out a voice through his teeth. There was so much blood in his voice, as if a terrible monster had been released from his heart, and now the bloodthirsty monster was letting out its roar.

The old lion of the empire fell into the bloody mud, to be replaced by a new bloody king.

“Watch——”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

“I will have the royal Rose flag fly across the mainland, the glory that never sets to last eternally, and all the people who the golden carriage passes to submit!”

He would make the long-cherished wish of the Duke of Buckingham come true! Have the glory of the Rose family revived on this land!

Whoever killed the Duke of Buckingham, he would have their heads cut off, their sinful bones crushed, and their souls kneel in front of his grave for eternity!

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 061 Start A Company

The conversation between Jiang Chen and Mr. Xiang continued until noon, and it didn’t end until Assistant Yang brought an unfamiliar man into the office.

The man looked exasperated: “Grandpa, didn’t I tell you to rest at home? Why did you run out without even bringing the driver?”

The conversation being interrupted, Mr. Xiang raised his hand impatiently: “I said I don’t need to rest, I’m in better health than your father. Don’t worry about me, if you want to worry, then just worry about him. Xiao Jiang, let’s continue.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Jiang Chen nodded slightly to the man as a greeting, and then continued to discuss the topic just now with Mr. Xiang, “Based on the current technology…..”

Only then did the man notice Jiang Chen. His eyes fell on Jiang Chen’s face and he was taken aback for a moment, then he turned to Li Nanfeng and asked, “He is…..?”

“Jiang Chen.” Li Nanfeng introduced Jiang Chen briefly, and said with a smile, “Mr. Xiang came early in the morning. The two of them haven’t rested since discussing together at ten o’clock. I was just going to ask them to go downstairs for a meal together.”

The man’s gaze stayed on Jiang Chen. Don’t know what they were talking about but the young man suddenly pursed his lips and smiled. The dimple on his cheek deepend as his smile widened. Those handsome features were full of smiles and really gave him a sense of deja vu.

“Will you eat with us later?” Li Nanfeng smiled and said, “Uncle Xiang? Uncle Xiang!”

Xiang Hong came back to his senses suddenly, but he didn’t take his eyes off Jiang Chen. He raised the corner of his mouth in a smile and said, “Okay.”

Li Nanfeng looked at him suspiciously, then suddenly realized something. He leaned into his ear and whispered: “Similar right.”

Xiang Hong tilted his head, quite puzzled: “What?”

“Jiang Chen——” Li Nanfeng glanced at the old man and young man chatting happily together, and lowered his voice: “He looks similar to He Qianyang, right?”

Xiang Hong frowned, carefully looked at Jiang Chen’s profile again, shook his head and said, “No.”

Li Nanfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought that Xiang Hong kept staring at Jiang Chen because he thought he looked a lot like He Qianyang, but if it wasn’t for this reason, why was he staring at Jiang Chen? So puzzled, he simply asked.

Xiang Hong looked away and smiled slightly: “I just think it’s amazing, it’s rare for a child of this age to chat with Grandpa so happily.”

Li Nanfeng smiled back, but he was still dubious in his heart. However he was just asking casually, and if Xiang Hong didn’t want to say it, he also did not ask further.

With a low cough, he walked up to Jiang Chen and Mr. Xiang, and under Mr. Xiang’s unfriendly gaze, he said with a smile, “Mr. Xiang, Xiao Jiang, I have already asked my assistant to book a seat at Zhuyun Pavilion downstairs. Let’s go down and eat.”

Jiang Chen raised his hand, and only then realized that it was lunch time. The conversation between him and the old man was really pleasant, and he got a lot of inspiration and new ideas from the other’s words.

Society progresses with the advancement of science, but the great human migration before the start of the interstellar age resulted in a loss of a lot of important data, including computer science research data. These lost data were very valuable in all aspects. The human beings in the outer galaxy were isolated and helpless, and spent a period of dark times because of their weakness. This period of time was called “the reclamation years” by later generations, which showed the retrogression of civilization at that time.

The era after Jiang Chen’s rebirth was already the “Interstellar Era”. Human beings in the Interstellar Era have become one of the most powerful creatures in the universe. Their scientific development technology was even ahead of the major galaxies, and their civilization was second only to the race with the highest intelligence, the Nier race. Whenever the ranking of races in the universe was mentioned, some students would always say angrily: “If no information was lost during the Great Migration, we humans would have developed decades earlier in the interstellar world, and the level of civilization would definitely be higher than that of the Nier race!”

At that time, Jiang Chen also thought that if there were more detailed materials and documents from their predecessors, his Changjiang might be more perfect. Because of this, he chose ancient history, hoping to learn from the perspective of their predecessors and get some inspiration from the level of civilization at that time.

Therefore, after being reborn and returning to this life, even if he already had the ability to reach the sky in one step, he still chose to enter the modern colleges of higher learning to study things step by step, because the basic theories and knowledge of the Interstellar Era were different from the knowledge taught by universities today. Perhaps these lost differences would become his inspiration for perfecting Changjiang.

And this morning’s conversation with Mr. Xiang let Jiang Chen, who had benefited a lot, confirm his thinking——through checking and making up for the lost data during the Great Migration, and combining the new knowledge and technology of the Interstellar Era, he might truly be able to create a more perfect Changjiang.

Even during lunch, Jiang Chen and Mr. Xiang didn’t stop discussing. At first, the two of them could still exchange a few words in between bites of food, but eventually they simply put down their bowls and chopsticks and rejoined a new round of discussion.

Although Li Nanfeng was in charge of the scientific research department, he was not knowledgeable in this area. Except for participating in some important decisions, he hardly interfered with the research of various departments of the scientific research department. Therefore, he only felt that these technical terms that were uttered by Jiang Chen and Mr. Xiang were difficult to understand, and even the food in his mouth was difficult to swallow.

He coughed lowly, and said to Xiang Hong who had been eating in silence, “Uncle, you talk to your grandpa, he barely ate anything.”

Xiang Hong swallowed the food in his mouth unhurriedly, and said, “I dare not interrupt him at this time.”

Li Nanfeng was silent for a moment. He opened his mouth while looking at the old and young pair opposite, and finally lowered his head to pick at his rice.

The meal was very enjoyable, and Mr. Xiang was very reluctant when it was time to say goodbye to Jiang Chen. He invited him to go to his house to find him to continue discussing the unfinished topic just now, and held his hand while entreating him to seriously consider applying for Hua University. In the end it was only after Xiang Hong wrote down Jiang Chen’s phone number, saying that he could call Jiang Chen for him anytime in the future, that Mr. Xiang finally got into the car without hesitation.

When they returned to Li De, it was almost two o’clock. Li Nanfeng said: “Let’s have the meeting at two o’clock.”

Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Wait a while, there are still two people who haven’t come.”

Li Nanfeng: “Who else?”

“My two friends who are the people involved in this cooperation.”

Before lunch, Jiang Chen took the time to call Huo Bo and Shen Xu and asked them to come to Li De to have a meeting with him in the afternoon. After a long talk with his parents yesterday, he basically relayed what he told his parents to them.

“Your research and development team?” Li Nanfeng was confused, but he remembered that Jiang Chen said before that all his current achievements were completed by him alone.

“Not really.” Jiang Chen said with a smile, “It’s my two friends. When our cooperation ends in the future, I will cooperate with them to start a company. Letting them come over now can be regarded as learning and accumulating experience in advance.”

Jiang Chen had made it clear to Li Nanfeng from the very beginning that he and Li De were just a business relationship, and all the results of his research and development were currently only sold to Li De, but in the future it was absolutely impossible to only provide it to Li De for use. The cooperation between the two, to put it simply, was just Jiang Chen providing the results and future upgrade guarantees, and Li Nanfeng providing funds and a research laboratory in return.

Seeing Jiang Chen saying it so candidly, Li Nanfeng didn’t know whether to be angry or to laugh. He looked at Jiang Chen’s young and harmless smiling face, raised his hand and put it down again. He plopped down on the sofa, and pushed the hair back from his forehead, tsking: “Okay, another nemesis.” Helpless, he could only tell the secretary to go down to pick them up.

Huo Bo and Shen Xu were very punctual and arrived before two o’clock in the afternoon. Following behind the assistant, Shen Xu looked left and right at the top floor of Li De, and then gently bumped Hou Bo’s arm: “It turns out that Li De is this big inside, and everyone coming and going looks very elite. I’m a little nervous.”

Huo Bo was also observing the surrounding environment subtly. After hearing Shen Xu’s words, he said lightly: “We are just here to listen. We will just stand by Jiangzi’s side later, don’t be nervous.”

Shen Xu whispered: “I know it too, but I’m still nervous. Ai, when did Jiangzi become so talented in computer technology and could even cooperate with Li De? He was so tightlipped that we were kept completely in the dark. If he hadn’t called to remind me not to be late, I would have thought what he said yesterday was just a dream…..”

Huo Bo was silent for a moment, then said lightly: “Too many things have happened in the past six months.”

Shen Xu was startled. He slightly pursed his lower lip, and fell silent.

Assistant Yang knocked on the door, came in and told Li Nanfeng and Jiang Chen that everyone was here, and Shen Xu and Huo Bo were already outside the door.

Li Nanfeng nodded: “Let’s begin the meeting.”

Jiang Chen and Li Nanfeng came out of the office together, and saw Huo Bo who was waiting on the sofa, and Shen Xu who looked extraordinarily calm and mature today for some reason.

“You’re here.” Jiang Chen walked towards the two of them, looked at Shen Xu, and asked Huo Bo, “What’s wrong with him?”

Huo Bo glanced at Shen Xu: “Probably nervous.”

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, Shen Xu couldn’t stop talking every time he was nervous, but today he was very quiet.

Li Nanfeng glanced over the faces of Shen Xu and Huo Bo, and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile: “Are these two your classmates?”

“Shen Xu, Huo Bo.” Jiang Chen briefly introduced them to each other. After greeting each other, the group went straight to the conference room.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the conference room. Seeing Jiang Chen coming in behind Li Nanfeng, most of the people present were obviously surprised. When they saw Huo Bo and Shen Xu behind him, they were even more surprised.

Li Nanfeng walked to the main seat and sat down. Assistant Yang reached out to the left of Li Nanfeng and said to Jiang Chen, “Mr. Jiang, please have a seat.”

Jiang Chen nodded, thanked him and sat down, while Shen Xu and Huo Bo were taken to the back seats by Assistant Yang.

When everyone arrived, the conference room quickly quieted down. Li Nanfeng introduced everyone present to Jiang Chen one by one: “This is Zhao Wentao from the Legal Department, this is…..” After a brief introduction, he went straight to the point: “I believe everyone has seen the test reports and market evaluation of the new facial recognition system and voice system, and the main content of today’s meeting is to formally finalize the details of the contract with Mr. Jiang, as well as the future cooperation plan…..”

Li Nanfeng’s team were all people who had many experiences in the business circle. From the beginning to the end of the meeting, the tone and words seem to be discussing, but in fact every word was fighting for the interests of the company, and they used various methods and even risk reports to try to prolong the length of the contract with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was not good at and did not have much experience in negotiation, but he insisted on his bottom line and never wavered. No matter how much they said, he would just smile mildly, without any intention of taking a step back, and eventually the final discussion result was confirmed——

Funded by Li De, a laboratory was set up in Jiang Chen’s personal name. The laboratory would be fully under the charge of Jiang Chen. Li Nanfeng had no speaking right to it except for providing funds, and in return Jiang Chen needed to provide Li De with system patches and upgrades for the next three years. In addition, Li De needed to pay Jiang Chen 5 million yuan system usage and service fees every year. This fee would change in the second year according to the estimated sales in the first year. If the amount was 10% more than the previous year, Jiang Chen would receive a profit dividend of 0.5% of the sales.

The meeting lasted for nearly three hours before Jiang Chen and Li Nanfeng finalized all the details of the contract. After the R&D department’s newly opened laboratory was sorted out, the legal department drafted the contract, and the two parties could start cooperating.

When the meeting ended, it was past five o’clock. Li Nanfeng wanted to send Jiang Chen and his two friends home, and Jiang Chen didn’t refuse.

On the way back, Jiang Chen asked, “What did you think of the meeting just now?”

Huo Bo pondered for a moment, and said: “Li De’s team is very powerful, but you are very clear about what you wanted from the beginning to the end, so the final result should not have been much different from what you originally thought.”

Shen Xu rubbed his chin and said, “I think you could still have negotiated more with them in terms of sales. I noticed their attitude and there seems to be room for negotiation in this regard.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes curved in a smile. Although Shen Xu and Huo Bo didn’t say a word during the whole meeting, he knew that they had been listening attentively. Even though Huo Bo and Shen Xu didn’t have any experience at this time, one was born with a keen sense of business, and the other had a precise grasp of people’s emotions. Jiang Chen believed that they would make rapid progress and grow into the business elites they were in the previous life without much time.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Shen Xu clicked his tongue a few times, hooked an arm around Jiang Chen’s neck, and said, “God Jiang, I didn’t realize that in such a short few months, you have pulled off such an earth-shattering undertaking behind the backs of your brothers. Tell me, do you intend to treat us to a meal or——”

“I’m going to start a company.”

Shen Xu’s words were interrupted in the middle, and before he could react, Jiang Chen raised his eyes and smiled slightly: “A company that belongs to the three of us and which will stand at the top of the world’s technology in the future.”

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 073 Song Of Iron And Blood

The infantry of the rebel army gathered in a hurry and raised their half-man-high shields to form a shield wall to resist the cavalry charge. The number of cavalry who launched the attack was much smaller than them but the formation of this cavalry charge was a bit strange. They were not lined up in ordinary rows, but gathered at one point and then elongated, shaped like a sharp sword.

The tip of the long sword was the sharpest part of the whole sword.

The Duke of Buckingham was the tip of the sword.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

The iron cavalry led by the Duke of Buckingham himself was completely different from the ordinary iron cavalry!

The infantry shouted in terror, seeing the murderous warhorses approaching in an instant. The knight in the front broke through the defense of the shield almost instantly, and his lance swung out, sweeping out a huge half-moon arc, and within the arc, blood splattered from all the infantry attempting to gather together.

The first knight had opened a gap in the entire defense line, and the following knights followed him and entered through this gap.

Compared with them, the entire rebel army was like scattered sand (TN: lacking in cohesion or organization).

The terrifying impact of the cavalry was fully demonstrated when the Duke of Buckingham took advantage of the terrain to seize the best opportunity.

The shield wall of the rebel army was a flimsy piece of thin paper in front of the charging royal cavalry. The cavalry spears of the knights tore through the paper-thin defense line, and directly penetrated through to the rebel army’s center in one breath, cutting the rebel army in half.

The rebels realized that their enemies were as fierce as tigers and as cunning as foxes.

The cavalry on both sides remained separated by infantry and military supply teams at all times. The Duke of Buckingham did not give the rebel knights a chance to organize and surround him. Instead, he relied on his own speed to cut across the entire battlefield like the wind. All the cavalry closely followed the Duke of Buckingham, always maintaining the formation of a longsword.

In front of the iron cavalry, the infantry could only let them trample.

After breaking through the line of defense, the royal cavalry immediately used their heavy lances as spears and threw them with all their strength. Wherever the two-meter-long iron lance passed, blood spattered, causing death or injury.

And at the moment when the iron lances left their hands, the cavalrymen had already drawn out the swords at their waists and swung them down from on top of their horses.

Sprays of blood splattered up and onto their armors. These knights looked like gods of death bathed in blood.

The warhorse leaped.

Surrounded by several enemy cavalrymen who finally caught up, the Duke of Buckingham jumped up with his horse, swinging his sword in mid-air. The tactics used by the King when he fought against the Gulundi heavy cavalry were repeated by the Duke of Buckingham——the King’s combat skills were taught by the man himself after all!

Both man and horse danced together, the sword light leaping like the moon.

The rebel cavalry who had just arrived were clearly the ones surrounding the Duke of Buckingham, but at this time they had to raise their shields to defend.

A young knight’s shield met the Duke of Buckingham’s sword. He only felt a sharp pain in between his thumb and forefinger, and the next moment the shield flew out. Without hesitation, the Duke of Buckingham slit the knight’s throat with his sword.

The horse fell to the ground, and the Duke of Buckingham continued to charge forward, followed by other royal cavalrymen.

The Duke of Buckingham charged straight to the center of the army, where the rebel flag flew, and where Prince Will stood.

Prince Will’s general found him and asked him to give orders, but only saw Prince Will’s pale complexion and trembling under the heavy armor.

Prince Will witnessed the Duke of Buckingham cross most of the battlefield, coming towards him like an unstoppable force, and could only tremble uncontrollably.

When he was young, he was also on such a battlefield, and it was also a small versus many battle.

The still proud and immature Prince Will encountered his first miserable defeat in his life.

His army was torn apart by the cavalry of the Duke of Buckingham, his knights were trampled by the knights of the Duke of Buckingham, and he himself was almost killed by the sword of the Duke of Buckingham. That was the lunatic of the Rose family! How could a normal person hold up against a lunatic!

His pride, his dignity, and his ego were all shattered in that battle.

It wasn’t until William III died of illness that the Duke of Buckingham remained to guard the Rose Palace and was replaced by Buckingham’s son Johan on the battlefield that Prince Will’s fear gradually faded away.

But now, that nightmarish fear returned with a vengeance, and more intensified than before.

He pushed away his subordinates who were anxiously calling out to him, turned his horse’s head, and was about to flee in the direction he had come.

At that moment, a soft sigh traveled into Prince Will’s ears, and into everyone’s ears.

Prince Will seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall. He fell off his horse and stared blankly at the sky. Ripples of light spread out in the air one after the other. The light carried majesty and power beyond human imagination, and the warhorses neighed and trembled.

The soldiers of the rebel army subconsciously fell to their knees.

“A miracle! A miracle has descended!”

Some men trembled and shouted, with worship and fear in their voices.

The battlefield, which was still noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.

The Duke of Buckingham reined in his horse and stood on the blood-stained snow with his cavalry which had equally suffered losses.

The so-called “miracle” was reflected in his icy blue pupils.

“Is this God’s Holy Soldier that Clemo got back then?”

The Duke of Buckingham said softly.

That was a piece of history on the other side of the strait. In 217 AD, King Clemo accepted the help of the Holy Court, and obtained the help of the Holy Lord at the price of accepting the Holy Court as the state religion. In Bressi’s Chronicle it was written that “…..angels in armor fought with mortals, and they crowned King Clemo with their victorious laurels…..”

The power of God changed the situation from its original defeated state to victory.

Now, after more than a thousand years, that power has appeared again.

The three iron carriages had opened up, and l three holy caskets could be seen in the carriages, which contained three holy remains that were supposed to be buried in the church to be worshiped by the world. White light spread out from the holy skeleton and gathered in mid-air.

In mid-air, a pair of huge white wings slowly spread out from behind the young white-robed priest, and armor appeared on his body from illusion to solidity at the same time. The entire area was silent, and everyone in the rebel army was prostrate on the ground. The only ones who did not kneel and kowtow were the cavalry led by the Duke of Buckingham.

They also felt a heavy pressure, but none of the knights retreated.

Because the Duke of Buckingham did not back down.

He stared at the war angel suspended in mid-air, reached out to take the royal banner from the knights around him, and held it up high.

The royal banner fluttered fiercely.

This was the banner of mortals.

The angel opened His eyes, His expression was the same as all the murals on the Holy Court Church, neither happy nor sad, but His pupils retained the shadow of a priest in white robes, as clear as a mirror, which reflected the image of the knight holding the banner of mortals up high.

“Descendant of the Dragon Slayer.”

He said, very softly, but it reached everyone’s ears.

“It has been over a thousand years, do you still want to continue with your original choice?”

“Over a thousand years.”

The Duke of Buckingham looked up, looking at the somewhat ragged and worn scarlet royal flag fluttering in the air.

It had been over a thousand years!

The Rose family had struggled to stand on this land for over a thousand years! They were smashed again and again, under pressure from all directions again and again, and poured their blood on this land from generation to generation…..It turned out that they have persisted in this way for over a thousand years!

“What the Rose family’s choice was over a thousand years ago will be the choice now a thousand years later.”

The Duke of Buckingham uttered slowly.

“You will die.” The angel looked at the old duke, looking at the eyes that have been passed down from generation to generation, “Even so, do you still want to fight?”

“The evil dragon sees mortals as food, and you see mortals as ants. Now, have you started to feel pity for the ants?”

The wind blew the edge of the banner into Duke Buckingham’s face. He had been in the military all his life and never talked nonsense, but today he didn’t care about wasting time.

“Is it pity? Or is it a discovery——that the gathering of ants also has earth-shaking power?”

His gaze sharpened suddenly, like an ancient knife turned sideways, with a cold light leaping across the edge.

Icy cold.

“We can give you glory, strength, power,” said the angel, “We can give you power, we can make you transcend the boundaries of the ordinary, and achieve the extraordinary.”

The Duke of Buckingham laughed: “No, you don’t understand what we want at all!”

For the first time, doubts appeared in the angel’s mirror-like eyes.

“You don’t understand at all.”

The Duke of Buckingham looked around, the white snow had turned into mud, corpses laid against each other, blood and slush were mixed together, knives, swords, and spears could be seen everywhere.

In the war of mortals, whether they lose or win, it should all depend on themselves.

Before every knight stepped onto the battlefield, he was already prepared to return triumphantly after victory, and to die on the battlefield after defeat. This was the fate of the knights, they have no regrets! But by no means should it be like it was now——the victory or defeat of the entire war, the fate of millions of people in the entire country, disappearing in a flash, in a single thought.

No matter how much mortal blood spilled, in front of God, it was just a small drop of water, falling silently and without a trace.

“That’s why we are always unwilling to bow our heads to you!”

If mortals were like ants in front of God, all the selfless sacrifices and hard work would become just a joke.

How ridiculous that would be!

The persistence of the Rose family for over a thousand years was simply just the right to decide the fate of mortals themselves! The history of mortals to be written by mortals themselves! They wanted themselves not to be prey, not to be ants, not to be puppets!

They wanted to stand upright on the ground!

They just wanted fairness, they just wanted freedom.

However, whether in the sky or on the earth, no one would give them this.

“None of you will give this, so——” the Duke of Buckingham said softly, his voice heavy with these many years, “the Rose family will take this ourselves.”

Take it with blood, with the lives of generations after generation!

“As long as you stand here, you are not our enemy.” The angel held the fiery sword, and pointed lightly at the place where Prince Will was.

The Duke of Buckingham looked back at the knights behind him: “Go, don’t disappoint this rare kindness.”

The cavalry stood upright and solemn, none leaving.

“Don’t feel ashamed, the enemies you are facing now are beyond the scope of your oath.” The Duke of Buckingham said lightly, “Go.”

“Are you insulting us?”

The old knight who had followed him for the most years spoke, he was blinded in one eye during the battle, and blood flowed all over his face. He slowly raised his sword and pointed at Prince Will who was kneeling on the ground.

“Have us follow after a dog that pissed his pants?”

His description was vulgar and impudent, completely inconsistent with the spirit of chivalry. But as soon as he finished speaking, all the knights burst into laughter, wild and unrestrained, as if there was no invincible angel in front of them, and there was no invisible pressure around them that pressed down on them so much that they almost fell off their horses.

The Duke of Buckingham was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

He reined in his horse and looked at his knights: “I am very happy!”

He had always been cold and stern all his life, no matter how great the victory was, he had never laughed like this, and he had never expressed his feelings so bluntly.

“I am very happy!”

The Duke of Buckingham raised his royal banner aloft.

“You’re all here! I’m glad you’re all knights of the Empire!”

“For the glory of the Rose!”

The knights roared, and they raised their swords high.

The warhorses no longer neighed.

The horses and their owners have been fighting together for many years, and they have already established a connection with each other. At this moment, the warhorses actually overcame their natural fear, and just like their owners, proudly raised their head, not retreating an inch.

“Now! Follow me——”

The Duke of Buckingham turned to the angel, and he swung his sword.

“Charge!”

Just like before, he was the first to charge.

The knights followed, and the iron hooves of their horses kicked up blood and mud from the battlefield. They followed their general without hesitation, they were a longsword, they were the swords and knives of mortals! Old knights, young knights, there were only a few hundred of them left.

But at this moment, they were the mighty army of the empire!

The angel spread His wings and drew His fiery sword.

The mighty red fire spread in midair, with the angel as the center, and within a space of hundreds of meters, all the snow melted in an instant. The water from the melting snow turned into a long scalding river, tossing and flowing, straddling between the Rose cavalry and the rebel army.

Like a moat between mortals and God.

As long as you step over, you will be smashed to pieces.

The scorching air waves rushed towards them head front, but the warhorses kept galloping.

“Kill!”

The Duke of Buckingham hollered.

This was war!

This was the war between mortals and God and the world. This war had lasted from the age of legends to the present and had never stopped.

This war would not cease until there was death!

“Kill!”

All the knights shouted loudly.

On the battlefield, knights have only one mission——to kill! Kill their enemies, or be killed by them! The Rose cavalry would never retreat!

The angel held the sword in both hands and raised it high.

The red fire in the sky rolled down, carrying endless majesty and violence. This was not the power of human beings, but the power of God! The fire rolled past like a bloody sea, with thousands of swords in the fire. The world was tainted a bloody red, and everything crawled in submission.

God’s punishment came and devoured everything.

………………

The border between Legrand and Newcastle.

The King led the vanguard and rushed all the way, arriving here almost non-stop around the clock. They had just passed through the first town, and then passed through two autonomous cities before arriving at the royal castle of Newcastle.

The King was at the front of the line.

He reined in suddenly and looked up to the north.

The north wind howled between the sky and the earth, and the wind was so cold that it penetrated into the bone marrow. The King held on tightly to the reins, feeling his blood cooling inch by inch, or as if there was a flame boiling in his heart.

The soldiers stopped behind the King and looked at him in confusion, noise rising slightly.

However, in this world, all voices seemed to fade from the King’s vicinity.

Drip.

It seemed to be an illusion, and it seemed that the sound was carried by the wind and came from far away.

Drip.

It was the sound of a drop of blood falling.

Whose blood was that?

“Let’s go!”

The King suddenly roared.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

He raised his whip high and swung it down vigorously. The warhorse screamed and galloped out. The cold wind blew on the King’s face like a knife. He held onto the reins tightly, his joints turning terribly pale.

Over mountains, across glaciers, and through swamps, the King galloped through the bitter cold of late winter.

How much could he call his own?

And how much could he lose!

Source of Calamity CH 061 Protective

Han Lang’s counselor was very young, and he also graduated from this college. After graduation, he stayed at the school to work. He did not work as a subject teacher, but only supervised the students. When Shen Zhen contacted him, he seemed to be at a party. The sound of wine glasses could be heard clinking.

The counselor’s surname was Zhao, and he was twenty-six years old this year but Shen Zhen still politely called him Counselor Zhao.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

“Is it Han Lang’s family?” Counselor Zhao spoke vaguely, seeming to be chewing something in his mouth. At the moment he couldn’t spit or swallow, so he just kept it in his mouth, “I already told everything to Han Lang’s mother this afternoon. I don’t have any more information here, if you still have doubts, I suggest you go to the police.”

“Please give me his roommate’s phone number.” Shen Zhen said.

The counselor seemed to pause for a moment, and then said after a while: “I don’t have it saved on my phone, sorry.”

Shen Zhen: “Okay, then I’ll hang up first, sorry for the trouble.”

Counselor: “No trouble.”

“We’ll go to his school tomorrow morning, do you know his dormitory number?” Shen Zhen asked Mama Zhang.

Mama Zhang nodded again and again: “I know, 305, Building Six.”

Han Lang’s college entrance examination results were very average, and he barely got into the undergraduate course. The school he attended was a very ordinary private university. The tuition fee was half higher than that of the public university. The school was not large, and it was in a small town outside the city.

Shen Zhen took Mama Zhang to Han Lang’s school early in the morning.

At this time, the breakfast shops near the school had already opened, but neither Shen Zhen nor Mama Zhang was in the mood for breakfast.

There was no key card when entering the school, so Shen Zhen and Mama Zhang could only enter together when the students came in and out.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a college girl in a light-colored sweater led them in. The girl was very talkative and asked Shen Zhen, “Are you an alumnus? I haven’t seen you in the school before.”

With those looks, he was very eye-catching, so why else didn’t she recognize him?

Although Shen Zhen was anxious, he still said politely: “My little brother goes to school here.”

The girl asked curiously, “What year?”

Shen Zhen: “Freshman.”

The girl thought about it, was there any handsome freshman this year? How come she didn’t know.

“Where are you going now?” the girl asked again.

Shen Zhen didn’t see any guide sign, and Mama Zhang also came to the school for the first time, so Shen Zhen said: “We are going to the sixth boys’ dormitory, but I don’t know which way to go.”

The girl said enthusiastically, “I’ll take you there. It’s not far, but very close. Our school is very small.”

The boys’ dormitory and the girls’ dormitory were in different directions, and there was a clear distinction. At this time, there were very few people coming out of the boys’ dormitory. Although it was 8 o’clock in the morning, all the people who  now had classes in the morning, and most of them were still sleeping.

Don’t know if Han Lang’s roommates before moving out were still in the dormitory.

“Just go in and register, I’ll go back first.” The enthusiastic girl sent them to the dormitory building.

Shen Zhen: “Thank you, I…..” He was about to offer to give the other party a tip for the hard work, but the girl quickly took out her phone instead.

The girl smiled and said, “Then let’s add friends on WeChat?”

Shen Zhen thought about it, and felt that it was also fine: “Okay.”

At that time he could just send a red envelope directly which was better than giving cash.

When they entered the dormitory, they needed to register with the dormitory auntie. The registration process was very convenient. They just need to write down their name and the number of the dormitory they want to go to, and leave their mobile phones.

Although the school’s tuition fees were not cheap, when Shen Zhen observed the dormitory rooms that were open, he found that the boys’ dormitory had eight people to a room. The girl just now said that the girls’ dormitory had six people to a room. There was also no air conditioning jiat a small fan and the water machine was outside the dormitory.

Shen Zhen and Mama Zhang stood at the door of 305. There was no sound inside, and it was after Shen Zhen knocked on the door several times did he get an answer.

“Who is it?”

“Dormitory check? So early?”

“Can you keep your voice down?”

It took more than a minute before a boy in his underwear opened the door.

When he saw Shen Zhen and Mama Zhang, the boy was confused: “Who are you looking for?”

Mama Zhang quickly said: “I am Han Lang’s mother, Han Lang is in the hospital now, we want to ask if you know anything…..”

The boy’s expression became a little unnatural: “How is he now? There is no danger, right?”

Mama Zhang: “He is still in a coma, but the doctor said there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

The boy in the dormitory who was still under the quilt said, “Auntie, we don’t know much about it. Recently, Han Lang usually only goes to the library after class, and he doesn’t hang out with us much.”

“Yeah, he seems to be doing research recently, and he’s very busy every day.”

Mama Zhang was at a loss.

Shen Zhen said to the boy who opened the door: “Are you free now? I’ll treat you to breakfast.”

This boy with an unnatural expression must know something.

Boy: “No need, I’m not very hungry now…..”

As soon as his words fell, his belly growled.

The others in the dormitory said: “Even your stomach can hear that you are lying, if someone treats you to a free meal, then just go.”

Although they were joking, their tone was slightly unnatural, as if they were covering up something.

The boy felt a little embarrassed after being teased, so he turned around and said to Shen Zhen, “Then I’ll get dressed first.”

The boy dressed quickly, a pair of trousers and a hoodie, put on sneakers, brushed his teeth and washed his face all in three minutes. Soon he walked out of the dormitory with Shen Zhen and Mama Zhang.

The boy was a little nervous next to Shen Zhen. He was only about 1.7 meters tall, about ten centimeters shorter than Shen Zhen. He said, “My surname is Zhou, Zhou Zihua.”

Shen Zhen: “My name is Shen Zhen.”

Zhou Zihua: “Brother Shen.”

They found the quietest restaurant near the school and entered a private room. The dishes were ordered by Zhou Zihua. There were soy milk, fritters, and steamed buns, as well as flower rolls and steamed dumplings. For breakfast, it was very rich.

“How is your relationship with Han Lang?” Shen Zhen asked.

Zhou Zihua was a little cautious, but still replied: “Alright, Han Lang is very nice.”

Shen Zhen asked again: “Do you know who has a feud with him?”

Zhou Zihua didn’t speak.

Shen Zhen suddenly said: “You don’t have to be afraid, just tell the truth. If you tell the truth, I can send you to study abroad, and I can help you with all the procedures necessary.”

Zhou Zihua looked up stupidly: “Huh?”

Shen Zhen: “Or if you want cash then that’s also fine, I can transfer it to your online banking or bank card.”

Zhou Zihua was even more dumbfounded.

Shen Zhen said, “One million yuan.”

Zhou Zihua: “…..”

Was he dreaming or hallucinating? Han Lang had always been very frugal. He usually refused to go out to eat hot pot, and ate in the cafeteria every day. When did he get such a rich brother?

If he was so rich, why did he still come to this crappy school?

Shen Zhen: “I didn’t bring a checkbook, so I can only transfer money to you, but it takes many transfers for one million yuan, and we can also go directly to the bank counter to do it.”

After Zhou Zihua finished his meal in a daze, he followed Shen Zhen to the bank in a daze.

Then he saw the balance text message on his mobile phone in a daze, and his whole person was completely dumbfounded.

“Let’s talk.” Shen Zhen took Zhou Zihua to the tea house next to the school, and Mama Zhang also looked at Zhou Zihua intently.

Zhou Zihua took a sip of water, and then he said with a little fear: “Han Lang got very close to a senior sister before, and everyone says they are dating. The senior sister has an ex-boyfriend who is a senior student, and now he is outside the school working on an internship. He has picked on Han Lang several times, and told Han Lang that if he gets close to the senior sister again, he would break his leg.”

“We didn’t take it seriously at the time. After all, it was just talk. I didn’t expect him to really dare to do it.”

Shen Zhen tapped his finger on the table: “Why didn’t you tell the police?”

Zhou Zihua said in a low voice: “Senior sister’s ex-boyfriend is the son of the school director. He said that if we speak out, the school will cancel our subject grades, and we will not be able to get a diploma in the future.”

Shen Zhen smiled: “There isn’t just a threat, is there?”

Zhou Zihua swallowed: “If you don’t say anything, you can apply to stay on for graduate school.”

Mama Zhang’s eyes were red. She grabbed Zhou Zihua’s hand and said emotionally, “What’s the name of that person? What’s the name of the person who beat my son?”

Zhou Zihua: “Sun Yun, his father’s name is Sun Changyang.”

Shen Zhen asked again: “And that senior sister?”

Zhou Zihua: “Lin Manman, she’s quite famous, she’s very pretty, and she’s also a rich second generation.”

Shen Zhen nodded, indicating that he knew: “Do you have her phone number?”

Zhou Zihua: “No, she is a sophomore, majoring in landscape architecture. You can ask around.”

Shen Zhen stood up, took Mama Zhang’s wrist, and said to Zhou Zihua: “You don’t need to say anything after you go back. After all, I only gave you money, and not the others. You have to weigh the situation yourself.”

Zhou Zihua repeatedly assured: “I definitely won’t say anything.”

He was not that stupid. The other people in the dormitory knew about this matter as well. If he said it, the one million yuan he got would definitely be coveted by them. One million yuan, how many years did an ordinary family like theirs have to earn this much? At worst, he would go back and drop out of school, and then go abroad to study. One million yuan was enough for him to go abroad to finish university.

Even if it was a bad university, it was still plated with the gold layer that was studying abroad.

“I called a taxi for you. You should go back to the hospital to see how Xiao Lang is doing.” Shen Zhen half hugged Mama Zhang, “I’ll handle this matter.”

Mama Zhang sniffed: “For that money, I…..”

Shen Zhen: “We’ll talk about the money when the time comes.”

What Mama Zhang gave him was worth much more than one million.

Mama Zhang was restless at this time, and she didn’t have the heart to think about the million yuan. After all, her salary was not low, and she still had a lot of savings. When the time came she could pay back the money in installments, the pressure was not too great.

It was very common for boys to fight because of jealousy over girls, but what Shen Zhen couldn’t accept was beating people nearly to death, and it was obviously not done by one person. Shen Zhen couldn’t accept the use of power to present a false appearance of peace.

And even if Han Lang woke up, and Zhou Zihua was the witness, it would still be very troublesome without evidence.

Although it was also a solution to fight violence with violence, Shen Zhen had no interest in finding someone to beat Sun Yun up.

Prison was a better end for him.

Shen Zhen stood at the school gate, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and called Qin Xing: “What time is the award ceremony tonight?”

Qin Xing’s tone was gentle: “It starts at seven o’clock, what’s the matter?”

Shen Zhen: “It’s nothing, I can be there in time, I have to take care of something.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Qin Xing: “Do you need my help?”

Shen Zhen’s tone became gentle: “No, I can solve it, I’ll contact you later.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhen looked at the school gate.

Where was the best place to start?

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 060 Recommendation Letter

On the second day after returning from the He family house, Jiang Chen had a long talk with his parents.

Since he was reborn, he did not deliberately keep them away from everything he did. Yang Si often cleaned his room for him. Perhaps she had been puzzled by the computer that was always on in his room, but she had never touched his desk computer. Otherwise, it was likely that some clues would have been discovered long ago.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

This trust and respect made Jiang Chen feel both warm and distressed. He thought that if his parents found out and asked him, he would be able to explain to them in a logical manner why he suddenly fell in love with computers and became good at it so quickly, but he never thought despite a long time having passed they still never mentioned it.

Now he was about to sign a contract with Li Nanfeng soon, and he would be busy in the future juggling studies and his career. Moreover, their current family situation was not financially well-off, but he would not be able to give the bank card to his parents for home use without explaining things clearly.

Therefore, he decided to inform his parents of all his actions that did not involve the secret of his rebirth, including the reason why Yang Tianci’s family suddenly owed debts.

After talking about all the events that took place in the four months from mid-March to mid-July, Jiang Chen put the bank card on the coffee table and lowered his eyes slightly, those handsome features unable to hide his uneasiness and nervousness.

Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si looked at each other, they knew ll along that their son had undergone many changes, but they never thought that so many things had happened to him during this period of time, let alone that in places they couldn’t see, he had silently done so much for their family.

Yang Si’s eyes were red, she gently held Jiang Chen in her arms, and said in a low voice, “Chen Chen, thank you for your hard work.”

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and the look in his eyes was a little nervous when he raised them: “Mom, don’t you think my methods of dealing with the Yang family are too…..”

“They did it to themselves!” Yang Si interrupted him, looking into his clear eyes, her nose stinging from suppressed tears: “It’s because Mom is too useless, if it wasn’t for Mom who couldn’t let go of the Yang family, you don’t need to use this method to send Yang Tainci to prison to prevent the Yang family from harassing us again, but those who specialize in debt collection are too dangerous. Chen Chen, we don’t want the money the Yang family owes us, and you musn’t have any contact with them in the future.”

Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Zhuo, Jiang Zhuo patted him on the shoulder, and said with red eyes: “Listen to your mother, we don’t want that money.” After a pause, he said: “It’s Dad who is too useless, unable to protect you and your mother well.”

Jiang Chen opened his mouth, but Jiang Zhuo laughed and interrupted him: “But I am very relieved. When you were not born, your mother and I discussed what kind of person we want you to be. We discussed it for three months and even quarreled over this, before finally agreeing.”

Jiang Zhuo looked into Jiang Chen’s eyes: “We hope that you would be sincere and upright but not pedantic, open and candid, kind and tolerant, and you have done it.” He took his wife and son into his arms with a smile, and said, “Son, Dad is proud of you.”

The subsequent conversations all revolved around the anecdotes of Jiang Chen’s childhood. Jiang Chen looked at the happy expressions on his parents’ faces as they were immersed in memories, glanced at the bank card on the table, and smiled slightly. These were his parents.

……

The next day.

Jiang Chen let go of all his worries, and slept in late for once. However, before it was even nine o’clock, Jiang Chen’s cell phone kept vibrating every ten minutes, non-stop from nine o’clock to half past nine, making Jiang Chen wake up with a rare bed temper.

With his head buried in the quilt, he frowned and said, “Changjiang, turn off all my communication devices.”

The room was quiet, and only the cell phone on the desk was vibrating.

The vibrating sound lasted for more than ten seconds before the room became quiet again, but Jiang Chen was completely out of sleepiness. He lifted the quilt and walked to the desk, clicked on the missed call, and dialed it back.

Li Nanfeng connected the call almost immediately, and he called out: “Ancestor! My living ancestor! If you didn’t answer the phone, I would have personally gone to your community and knocked on the doors one by one!”

Jiang Chen yawned, opened the curtains and said, “Before you didn’t set a specific time for the meeting, I thought it would be in the afternoon.”

“It was indeed afternoon…..” Li Nanfeng was silent for a moment, and said: “But there is someone who wants to see you, and that person is only free in the morning, so I sent someone to pick you up at the gate of your community early in the morning.”

Jiang Chen: “Who?”

“You’ll know as soon as you come.” Li Nanfeng said slyly: “It’s definitely someone who is beneficial to you and not harmful to you. My person is already at the gate of your community. Tell me the apartment number, and I will let them be there soon. They’ll wait downstairs, and won’t delay for a minute.”

Jiang Chen reported the apartment number, and asked: “Shi Fengyue knows which unit my house is, why didn’t you call him before and ask him?”

Li Nanfeng hissed, just imagining it was scary: “Call him? Do you know what would happen if you wake him up on the day he rests? You don’t want to know, big brother will give you a friendly reminder, if it is not absolutely necessary, never disturb his sleep.”

After Jiang Chen changed his clothes, he laughed lightly and said, “Is he very angry when he wakes up?”

“Let’s put it this way, Shi Fengyue’s current temper is like an angel compared to when he was in school. Only when he wakes up, will he switch back to that horrible temper he had in school. And this is just referring to when he gets up by himself, once he is woken up by others, then…..”

Hearing Li Nanfeng’s unfinished words and inhalation, Jiang Chen smiled: “I’m going to wash up, I’ll be down right away.”

Li Nanfeng immediately ended the topic: “Then hurry!”

The Jiang family was not far from the Li De Group, and before ten o’clock, Jiang Chen arrived at Li De’s headquarters.

Li Nanfeng’s assistant had been waiting there for a long time. After recognizing Li Nanfeng’s car, he immediately ran forward to help open the door, and said respectfully, “Mr. Jiang, please.” After seeing Jiang Chen’s appearance, he paused slightly. Although he knew that the protagonist of the emergency meeting at the headquarters yesterday was not very old, he did not expect him to be this young.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly: “Thank you.”

The assistant smiled, walked ahead and led the way. He took Jiang Chen directly to the exclusive elevator that went directly to the top floor.

In the office, a hale and hearty old man sat on the sofa. Li Nanfeng personally made a cup of tea and brought it to the old man.

The old man took a sip of tea and said with a light smile, “Not bad.”

Li Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, “It’s good that Mr. Xiang likes it.”

After the words fell, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary walked in and said in a low voice, “Assistant Yang has brought Mr. Jiang.”

Li Nanfeng stood up and said, “Invite him in.”

Mr. Xiang put down his tea cup and turned his head to look at the door. A surprisingly young boy appeared behind Li Nanfeng’s assistant. After sweeping his eyes over the strangers in the room, he nodded politely before turning his head to look at Li Nanfeng and smiled, “CEO Li, who is this?”

Li Nanfeng walked up to Jiang Chen in three steps and said to him, “This is Mr. Xiang, an academician of the Information Technology Department of the National Academy of Sciences. He mainly studies computer vision. Mr. Xiang, this is Jiang Chen, and he is the make of He Qianyang’s robot.”

Jiang Chen looked at the old man who was exuded prestige, and politely leaned forward slightly: “Hello, Mr. Xiang.”

“Hello, Jiang Chen.” Mr. Xiang nodded, pointing to the sofa next to him: “Have a seat.”

The three sat down, and Mr. Xiang said first: “I have seen the robot you designed, and it is very good, especially in the two aspects of target recognition and machine learning. Could you talk about the way R01 processes this information? For example, image analysis or computational theory.”

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said: “R01 can obtain information from images and multi-dimensional data, not so much because of its image processing and analysis or big data, but because of its decision-making ability…..”

As Jiang Chen talked more, Mr. Xiang sat up straighter. Later, he was so fascinated by what he was listening to, he simply tore off a few sheets of paper from Li Nanfeng’s desk, and made calculations while recording.

After not having been able to discuss his research field with anyone for a long time, Jiang Chen was also very satisfied. He took a sip of tea and saw that Mr. Xiang carefully folded a few pieces of irregularly torn paper, and put them in his inner pocket.

Mr. Xiang: “Xiao Jiang, I heard that you are studying in Yan No. 1 High School, and you will be in the third year of high school next semester?”

Jiang Chen nodded: “Yes.”

Mr. Xiang: “Then have you thought about where to go for university? What major to study?”

“Maybe I will choose Yan University’s computer science major, I——”

“The computer science major at Yan University is indeed good, but if you plan to study artificial intelligence in the future, the mathematics major at Hua University is more suitable for you. If you think the mathematics major at Hua University is good, Grandpa will write you a letter of recommendation and let you directly be accepted to Hua University, what do you say?”

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: “Mr. Xiang, I…..”

“Who are you calling Mr. Xiang?” Mr. Xiang said with a smile: “I should be about the same age as your grandpa. You can just call me Grandpa Xiang. After our discussion this morning, we can be regarded as friends despite a difference in age. In the future, if you have any academic or research problems, you can find Grandpa Xiang.”

“Grandpa Xiang.” Jiang Chen followed the advice readily, “I didn’t know that Hua University accepted recommendation letters.”

Li Nanfeng thought in his heart: I know, the last time I saw those schools breaking through the bottom line and snatching people without them needing to even take the college entrance exam was when Shi Fengyue was fifteen years old. He had  thought he would see this only once in his life, who would have thought he would be fortunate enough to see it a second time.

“Of course.” Mr. Xiang said with a smile: “The robot you designed could definitely participate in the youth science competition. Although the preliminaries and semi-finals have passed, I have the right to directly recommend it to the finals. The finals will be held in September. It will start in one week, and the results will be released in the second week of October, at that time you will be able to get the admission letter.”

Jiang Chen smiled and said: “I appreciate your kindness, but every moment of my three years of high school is very precious to me, including participating in competitions and the college entrance examination. I don’t want to miss any of it.”

“Even if you are recommended, you can still take the college entrance examination.” Mr. Xiang: “And if you participate in the math competition, you will still be recommended in the end, so it is all the same if you are recommended in advance.”

Jiang Chen said politely, “Grandpa Xiang, I haven’t decided on a major yet.”

“It’s okay.” Mr. Xiang smiled kindly: “You go to Hua University first, and if you want to change your major then, Grandpa will talk to the dean of your mathematics department.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Seeing Jiang Chen’s conflicted expression, Li Nanfeng poured tea into Mr. Xiang’s cup, and said with a smile: “Mr. Xiang, Jiang Chen is just in his third year of high school, and he may not have thought about which school he would like to go to before, so having him immediately make a choice is a bit too fast. Why don’t you wait and let him have more time to think about it.”

Mr. Xiang pondered for a few seconds, and said to Jiang Chen, “Yan University has done well in academics in recent years, but it is not so good in terms of research. Xiao Jiang, you should think about it carefully.”

AN: Yan University, counting down ten seconds before they also reach the battlefield (just kidding)
