Chapter 87
The current Adjutant Xue knew by now that when Shi Nian said he was going, he was not joking and would go.
He even went to find the outfit Madame Lu had prepared for him.
It was customary to adhere to the dress code on the main star. After the last time, Mrs Lu found that Shi Nian did not have any clothes for such occasions, so she prepared many more for him.
After Xue Chi tried to persuade him without success, he then sent several novels to Shi Nian.
When he opened some, he saw that all of the protagonists had had an accident, and it was because of running around.
Adjutant Xueâs heart was revealed.
Xue Chi was still beside him and whispered: âMr Shi, look at this. The Marshal is not here. Letâs be carefulâ¦â
âThatâs what I should say to you. â Shi Nian turned his head and asked him: âHave the two Zerg been found?â
Adjutant Xue: â⦠No.â
âI say, little Xue, your ability to do things is not good!â Shi Nian was completely copying the content of one of the novels, âHow can you spend so much time on such a trivial matter and not get any news? You were told to find two people, notâ¦..â
âMr Shi!â Xue Chiâs face was full of speechless: âThose two zerg are very hard to find.â
âI know!â
Shi Nian sent him a screenshot of the page he had just read, âThatâs what the book says, and the people theyâre looking for arenât human either. In short, theyâre very hard to find anywayâ¦â
So you just copied it from the book and brought it to bully me, right?
Xue Chi thought that his previous conclusion was right. He couldnât control this little ancestor at all.
âYou need to read fewer novels⦠Oh, no, reading novels is fine, but taking the content of novels seriously is a big problem.â Shi Nian patted Xue Chi on the shoulder and said, âMan, be mature.â
Xue Chi didnât want to say anything anymore.
Why was he so difficult?
Poor adjutant Xue did not persuade Shi Nian, but was even lectured on taking the novelâs content seriously, and then had to go back and arrange the dayâs schedule.
As he left the Marshalâs residence, he saw Shi Nianâs quantum beast happily prancing around.
It looked like it was in a very good mood.
The Wu familyâs banquet was on the weekend, so Shi Nian went to and from school as usual during the days. When he didnât want to eat at home in the evening, he had a nice meal out.
This time he didnât go to a big hotel, but a small restaurant just down the road.
The food was more authentic, such as kebabs, Kwan tung bo, noodles, and spicy hotpot.
It smelled good.
Shi Nian ate the whole street in a leisurely manner, and the picture was so shocking that it made it to the top of the search again.
âI envy you for the amount of food you eat and that you donât get fat!â
âI suddenly realized that even if you didnât have the talent or money, you could still rely on your face to earn. Â Just eat and broadcast.ââ
He could rely on his face to eat. But he relies on his talent. Thatâs probably why Iâm a fan of Shi Nian! â
There was a handicraft shop there that was said to make good small crafts, so he went to buy a few to take home.
When he turned around, a man and a woman were sitting in the café opposite the craft shop, looking very intimate.
The key is that Shi Nian had seen the man before. Â He was brought by a classmate, a male guide as his boyfriend to the last school reunion.
This situation is problematic.
He thought about it for a while, and asked Yan Huaxin, a social expert: âIf, and I mean if, one day Zhang Jingkai was with someone else out there and I saw him, would you want me to tell you directly or just give a little hint?â
âIâm not that incapable of accepting reality.â Yan Huaxin said with a pause, âbut you misunderstood, he went to pick up one of his cousins today, a girl in pink, right? With long hair⦠but she is not just a cousin but also a sentinel. â
Shi Nian:â⦠I didnât see him.â
Maybe Yan Huaxin was thinking he saw the picture of Zhang Jingkai picking up his cousin. But thinking about it, suddenly asking this kind of question, itâs quite easy for someone to misunderstand.
But he saw someone else. This pair were certainly not cousins. No cousins would be kissing on the mouth, with the manâs hands roaming everywhereâ¦
This is in broad daylight!
After taking photos, Shi Nian asked, âSo he would be quite receptive to reality, right?â
Yan Huaxin: âNot necessarily. It depends on the person. If youâre unsure, you can try it out first. But donât ask like you just did, itâs basically like saying, âI saw your boyfriend messing around.â
Shi Nian: ââ¦â¦â
Shi Nian checked on Starnet.com and found that many people said that sending things in green is a good hint.
So, the next day, one of the students entered the classroom and found that his desk was full of green.
âWhose stuff is this?â he asked. He said to himself, âWhatâs with the aesthetics? They are all green, not just the cup coasters, but even the socks are green! â
âItâs for you. â Shi Nian said, âYesterday, I suddenly felt the urge to buy something, so I bought a lot and couldnât fit it at home, so I gave them to everyone.â
The student: âWhat?â
âNo, Shi Nian, when did you change your hobby to pure green â¦â¦â
He seemed to have suddenly reacted to something.
Shi Nian gave him a tacit look, and a student next to him was looking at his desk, laughing as he did so, âWhat luck are you having, all green. Iâm not much better. Mine is all pink. Are there any female students that like pink? We can exchange and you give me blue or whatever colour.â
Yan Huaxin took a look and saw that there were some things on his table, in purple.
Shi Nian bought a set for each person, in a variety of colors, perhaps because it isnât too obviousâ¦Now everyone is exchanging it for their favourite colour.
Yan Huaxin thought about it and knew what was going on and what the pile of green was all about. Combined with what Shi Nian asked him yesterday, âAt the class reunion, that man was very talkative and liked to brag a bit, but I didnât see that he was actually a scumbag.â
âScum donât have writing on their faces.â Shi Nian said with a sigh.
He had really been facing scumbags everywhere these days.
But this was someone elseâs business, so they couldnât discuss it too much behind their backs. So they quickly talked about the Wu familyâs banquet, âI heard youâre going?â
Shi Nian nodded, thinking that the banquet was because Senator Wu had a grandson to be engaged.
Shi Nian asked Xue Chi to inquire about it, and it was confirmed. There was no warning about the engagement before, and the grandson was not favored. So it was probably because the Wu family had been through a lot of bad luck lately and wanted to throw a party to celebrate the occasion and also meet the calamity that was Shi Nian.
Yan Huaxin didnât approve of Shi Nian going on his own, but having known him for so long, he could see that his friendâs ideas were so straightforward that he couldnât be easily persuaded.
And since no one on his cousinâs side said anything was wrong, there shouldnât be any major problems.
Little did he know that adjutant Xue went home in defeat.
At the end of class, the student who had been green-lighted called out to Shi Nian.
âThank you, Shi Nian. He had a history of this kind of behaviour before, but he told me he would change. Now it seems that the dog canât change its ways. â
The last time I signed a forgiveness letter, Ji Yiqing was also remorseful and tried to rekindle the old relationship, acting like he was reformedâ¦â
But the result wasâ¦â¦
He turned around and stabbed Bai Zihan, then said he was the one who told him to do it.
âHeâs so shameless.â The student couldnât help but curse him.
It was only after the scolding that he realized that Shi Nian had suddenly said this, perhaps to comfort him! After all, he was quite miserable being cheated on, but at least his boyfriendâ¦..ex-boyfriend, was not as deadly as Ji Yiqing.
Shi Nian is quite arrogant, but does not take the initiative to bully anyone, and is very considerate of others.
Although sometimes â¦â¦
He felt that these green things were sent to be discreet, but except for those in the class who didnât have much muscle in their brains, most of them guessed it.
âThank you so much, or else Iâll be deceived by this scumbag again.â The classmateâs eyes were still a little red, so it was clear that he still had feelings for the scumbag. However, he seemed to have made up his mind, but he didnât say anything to Shi Nian. He just said, âIâll invite you to dinner when Iâm free.â
He nodded his head.
He thought that it should be okay. After all, he was not familiar with this.
The last time he gave someone any warmth was when he had just entered the infinite dungeon game. It was a scene at a school, and it was a female student ghost.
That level was not difficult; just let the ghost feel the warmth, but the result was that the female ghost was not only angered, but she also blackened, so that he was forced to clear the game by force.
However, he had had little contact with people at that time, and he had little knowledge.
Heâs now a different person. Heâs become a human, and heâs good at what he does.
Look at what heâs done this time, itâs perfect!
Shi Nian took this as his first act of helping people after he had completely transformed into a human and rewarded himself with three big bags of melon seeds.
He thought this was the end of the story, but then he saw the scum on the day of the Wu family banquet.
He was walking in and the scumbag was ahead of him.
He was with Adjutant Xue, and the scumbag was walking behind a girl who looked like the one in the café that day.
When he saw Shi Nian, he greeted him and explained, âIâve broken up with Xiaomu, so thisâ¦â
Shi Nian: ââ¦â¦â
It seems that he still doesnât know that it was Shi Nian who rutted him out.
But itâs normal, listening to the classmateâs tone that day. Itâs not the first time for this guy.
A girl came up behind the scumbag, pretty and innocent, but looking a little wary.
âHello, Iâm Shi Zhaâs girlfriend.â
âHello.â Shi Nian said.
After both parties greeted each other, neither of them had any intention of being together, so they quickly parted ways.
After parting hands, he could vaguely hear the girl asking Shi Zhan, âYou know him? How did you knowâ¦â
Shi Zha accompanied her with a smile: âAs you know, Xiaomu is at the Sixth school. He is my ex-boyfriendâs classmate.â
âOh.â The girl said, âThe one who broke up with you and still keeps pestering you?â
Shi Nian now knew why the scumbag cleared it up so quickly by saying he had broken up. It was because the scum was afraid that he would say something by mistake!
By saying that he had broken up a long time ago because someone else had been pestering him, it made him look good and desirable, but also created a time difference.
The deputy officer didnât know about this, he just wondered, âMr. Shi, do you know the Hua family?â
Shi Nian: âHm?â
The Hua family, âthat girl?â
âSheâs the youngest daughter of the Hua family and is very well-loved. Do you know her boyfriend?â
Shi Nian didnât answer that, but frowned at the memory, âThe Hua family, the ones that run Starnet and are second only to the Yan family on the Empireâs rich list?â
It was said that the Wu family had been trying to win the support of the Hua family, but recently they seemed to have relaxed a little.
âThis boyfriend of hers has been getting quite close to the Wu family recently.â
Shi Nian narrowed his eyes slightly.
At that very moment, Wu Chao Yi came over and had already greeted him with a smile.
As expected of one that had been groomed as an heir. It was clear that they had fought to the death in the past. But now he looks as if the last time they tried to frame Shi Nian did not exist.
The banquet was no smaller than the last one at the Yan familyâs house, and Shi Nian looked around as he followed Wu Chao Yi inside.
âGrandpa admires you.â Wu Chao Yi said, âThis way please, letâs go and meet Grandpa first.â
Shi Nian nodded, âItâs an honour.â
Adjutant Xue followed behind, thinking that it was rare to see Mr. Shi on such an occasion and that he had managed to reign in the arrogance he showed at home just right.
He said it as if it were true.
But he had clearly heard him muttering before he left, âOff to see that arrogant but incompetent fellow.â
Honour?
Anyone with eyes could tell that he did not feel the slightest biy honored.
The two walked all the way and passed by Shi Zha, the scumbag, and the lady of the Hua family. The other party seemed to be heading towards the old man over there, and Shi Nian glanced there slightly.
Although the main character today was the grandson of the Wu family, the centrepiece was clearly councilor Wu.
When Shi Nian was led there, he was inevitably noticed by the crowd.
Councilor Wu said a few words to the people around him and then looked at Shi Nian, who had just walked up to him.
Shi Nian looked at him too.
The two just looked at each other for a while, and then councillor Wu said with a smile, âIâve heard the name for a long time, but itâs only today that I met youâ¦Mr Shi? Is it okay to call it that? â
Shi Nian smiled faintly, âAs you wish.â
The people around him had almost dispersed, and two of them followed Wu Chao Yi to the other side. In the blink of an eye, only councilor Wu and Shi Nian were left here, along with Xue Chi, who was never far behind them.
Congressman Wu glanced at Adjutant Xue and said with a smile: âYouâre watching very closely!â
Shi Nian also looked back and said with disgust: âMaybe heâs afraid that Iâm young and arrogant, and that if Iâm not happy, Iâll ruin the scene for you!â
ââ¦â¦â Councilor Wuâs face remained unchanged as he smiled and spoke, âI heard that youâve bought a lot of houses recently. The location looks good.â
Shi Nian smiled faintly. Really smart people would say something to the point.
It was obvious that the houses he had bought were in good locations, but they were only good, they were far from the center of power.
In the heart of this Wu guy, the best locations are inhabited by the rich and powerful, and the average person, even if they are rich, cannot buy a bathroom there. Heâs hinting that he should just go to the Bai family mansion.
âDidnât think Iâd choose that?â He asked with a smile.
Councilor Wu said, âYes, I didnât expect it. After all, the difference between the two areas is too greatâ¦â¦But we all have our reasons, so I hope you wonât regret it in a few years. â
âI wonât.â The words changed, and Shi Nian said, âBack then, your daughter married Marshal Yue and took most of the military power of the Yue family for you.â
Councillor Wuâs smile remained unchanged, âYouâre holding out on behalf of the Yue family for justice?â
In the end, this is just a young man, after all.
âOf course not.â Shi Nian smiled, âI mean, if I go back to the Bai family, do you think the Bai family can suppress me? Then you are as stupid as your daughter, who can only cheat people into losing their homes and money. If I were to stir up the storm in the Wu family, Iâd make sure even you couldnât see it. â
Councillor Wu restrained the smile on his face and heard Shi Nian say.
âIâve always felt that you should be happy that Iâm not going back. But I donât know why you and your grandson like to ask me about this. â
Why bother?
âIâm not like you, acting in such an unscrupulous manner, and the power and profit in your hands are not that important to me.â
After speaking, Shi Nian took a glass of wine from a waiterâs tray that happened to be passing by, turned around, and walked away leisurely.
Behind him, the smile on Mr Wuâs face disappeared completely.
Wu Chao Yi also came back, âGrandpa, didnât you say you wanted to embarrass him by letting him hang for a while as you act busy?â
Councilor Wu sighed, âI thought so earlier, but I knew the moment I saw him that it would be useless. If you dare to leave him hanging, he will dare to turn around and leave on the spot.â
No wonder the Bai family had been unable to do anything about him.
Councilor Wuâs eyes fell far away from Shi Nian, occasionally glancing at Xue Chi who was following behind him.
This Adjutant Xue â¦â¦
He thought he was here to keep an eye on Shi Nian, but from the looks of it, the one in charge between the two was Shi Nian. And the adjutantâs behaviour pattern has not changed at all. As if he has changed from following Lu Bo Ting to following Shi Nian, and he is still only acting as an Adjutant.
Just now he deliberately said provocative words in front of Xue Chi, but that Xue Chi did not even change his face, instead he looked like a big fool.
âWe canât let this Shi Nian continue roaming around freely!â Mr Wu said, âItâs a good thing heâs young and even more arrogant than that Zhou from back then.â
He heard that he was continuing his routines as usual and only took a few people with him.â
âLetâs find a chance to do it before Lu Bo Ting comes back to the main star â¦â¦ and maybe reverse the influence on that side so that our people â¦â¦â
Wu Chao Yi said, âYes.â
He looked at Shi Nian from afar, only feeling that it was a pity that such a character could not be used by them.
