Cosmic Demon

Chapter 91: Xiao Qin, a person with connections, the second choice (first update!)

"It's rare that you have this kind of heart."

As an old hand, Chen Ruofu has seen all kinds of geniuses.

Even he himself had long ago been awarded the title of "hero" and received numerous praises.

It’s a pity that the starry sky is vast and there are so many geniuses that temporary glory means nothing.

Only after being washed and polished by time, can the dazzling and unparalleled martial arts shine.

Only then can you pursue the god of war and reach the pinnacle!
"Since you have lofty ambitions, Xiao Qin, I'll leave this inheritance with you. I'll complete all the formalities for you and will never leave any handle for others to use against me."

Chen Ruofu was very satisfied with Qin Shi's positive attitude towards taking on the "Void Meditation Method".

Just as he said, the inheritance of the God of War is not precious, but the seed of the God of War is rare.

What Dongxia values ​​most is not the road to heaven left by some ancient being, but a broad road for continuously creating new blood and manufacturing talents.

Instead of keeping He Lanchan's inheritance in their own hands, the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association has been thinking about it all day long, and they also owe a favor to the Qin family in Yancheng.

It’s better to leave it to the right person and let him make use of his remaining energy.

"Sorry to bother Uncle Chen."

Qin Shi felt relieved as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart.

It is actually a good thing to have a frank and thorough discussion with Lao Chen.

With the endorsement of the top leader of Tai'an Metropolitan Area, it was in accordance with the rules and logic for him to hold the "Void Meditation Method". He no longer had to act in secret and worry about the Qin family eyeing him and trying to snatch it away.

With such a stable and strong backer protecting him, he could practice diligently and avoid many troubles.

It’s the best of both worlds!

"By the way, how are your master's connections? Is his background strong enough? Can he have a say in the Martial Arts Association?"

After deciding on the ownership of the "Void Meditation Method", Chen Ruofu then raised three soul-searching questions.

"Uh, Uncle Chen, what does this have to do with my nephew's path to becoming a martial god?"

Qin Shi knew without any hesitation that Lao Liang was a "three-no" person with no connections, no background, and no sense of existence.

My master was stripped of his medals and spent time in jail. It doesn't look like he was discharged honorably.

"Of course it does matter. If you have a wide network of contacts, you can make a name for yourself by performing a great deed this time. Through TV interviews, you can be promoted as a model of a good citizen who is brave and righteous.

If you have a strong background, it shouldn't be difficult to ask the Education Department to make a concession and have you admitted to Qiguang Hengda or Jiakai University of Science and Technology.

If the Martial Arts Association can have a say, I can write a report to the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association, write a letter of recommendation, and apply for some training resources as a reward."

Chen Ruofu is worthy of being a man in officialdom. He is well versed in mobilizing resources and cultivating younger generations.

Be more proficient in how to spend Dongxia’s money and do your own business.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Uncle Chen. My master is just a physical education teacher at the Ninth Middle School. He doesn't have any connections or background."

Qin Shi shook his head, but he didn't find it difficult to say.

"What a pity. How about this, I will try to get more bonus for you, but you have to bear the credit and give some to Xiaoyun."

Chen Ruofu said softly.

Qin Shi nodded and agreed decisively.

There was no feeling of being suppressed or suffocated at all.

What a joke!
The top leader of Tai'an metropolitan area!

Holding on to such a big and thick leg, Qin Shi would be happy to be a son-in-law who pours foot water, not to mention being less in the spotlight!
"Consider it that I owe you a favor. It's really not right for an elder to take credit for the work of a younger person."

Chen Ruofu coughed twice. He had to admit that Qin Shi was one of the few young people he felt comfortable dealing with.

"I see that your parents are both employees. They have never participated in the development of Xinxing and have never obtained the right to reside in the Tai'an metropolitan area. Secretary Huo!"

He turned around and waved, and a gentleman in standard business short-sleeved shirt and long pants immediately trotted over.

The city's top secretary was respectful and bowed slightly:
"Minister, what do you want?"

Chen Ruofu pointed at Qin Shi and said:
"Xiao Qin is a hero. We cannot let heroes bleed and cry. You have investigated their family situation before you came. His parents selflessly dedicated their lives to the construction of the eastern suburbs of Dangyang. His sister dropped out of school to support her brothers and sisters to go to school..."

Secretary Huo quickly replied:
"A good student like Xiao Qin, who has excellent grades and good character and academic performance, should receive subsidies for poor families and scholarships every semester. This is a dereliction of duty by Dangyang District. I will meet with the leadership team of Dongjiao later and ask them to correct their mistakes."

Chen Ruofu nodded and continued:

"Xiao Qin is a good kid. It has not been easy these years. We must do our best to help him. You should talk to the Secretary for Administration and implement his urban circle settlement rights. He is studying in Xinyi Middle School. Running back and forth is a big delay in his studies.

Didn't the Education Department propose a 'successful project' before? It's specifically for top students with outstanding vitality development and provides them with good conditions. You can add Xiao Qin's name to it.

Also, Xinyi Middle School’s annual Hongzhi Class scholarship, full-grade scholarship, Tai’an Metropolitan Area’s municipal scholarship, Dongxia’s national scholarship…”

Secretary Huo took note of it silently and listed it as a top priority.

"School is about to start. I'll look at your performance in the dan-setting exam and talk to the Wushu Association to raise your citizenship level."

Chen Ruofu smiled slightly.

Good guy!
Just call him Uncle Chen and you will get lots of scholarships!
Qin Shi could hardly suppress the smile on his face. It turns out that having political resources is so cool!

He had never heard of those talent development projects and education funds before, but now he just added their names!

Not to mention the implicit policies such as the right to settle in the Tai'an urban area and the improvement of citizen status.

It may not be possible to get it done by spending money, you need to keep building relationships to get it done.

"I never thought that one day I would become a relative of the family!"

Qin Shi tried his best to control his expression so as not to be too obvious and appear not calm enough.

"I'll get it done as soon as possible."

Secretary Huo glanced at Qin Shi and thought:
"With the minister as his backer, the Tai'an Metropolitan Area is still under the control of this young master Qin. Progress is sometimes difficult, and sometimes easy..."

……

……

At daybreak, the Old Factory Street, which had been busy all night, seemed like an old man who had been up all night and was still not awake.

Qin Xiao, who had just been on a long journey, stared blankly at the messy shed, as if it had been madly demolished by the husky.

The windows were broken, the wooden door was knocked open, the sofa, tables and chairs were tilted to the ground, and most importantly, all the electrical appliances in the house were gone.

This scene reminded her of bad memories. Her father had gambling debts and people came to collect the debts during the Chinese New Year. The evildoers smashed and destroyed everything, smashing everything that could be used to pieces...

"Aunt Zhou, my brother wasn't home when he was little. Do you know where he went?"

Qin Xiao hurried to the next door store.

Aunt Zhou usually opens the door early. At this moment, she was muttering, "Where is my sausage griller? How come such a big sausage griller is gone?" When she saw Qin Xiao in a hurry, she hurried to comfort him:
"When he was little, he didn't come home much. My husband Zhou said that he was following Mr. Liang from the No. 9 Middle School to exercise."

Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, for she was afraid that her brother would get in trouble with some bad thugs in society. Not all of the people at the bottom of Jiuchang Street had good intentions. Many of them were involved in shady business and liked to drag students into trouble.

"Why didn't Xiaoshi come home last night? Why is the house like this?"

Aunt Zhou sighed, moved a long wooden stool and asked Qin Xiao to sit down:
"It seemed like there was a gas pipeline leak, so many community workers came to evacuate the residents. Lao Zhou and I followed most of them to the air-raid shelter and set up tents to spend the night there.

But some people say it is haunted. He saw his family's motorcycle start up and rush out of the door, and there was also a TV, a radio, a washing machine and the whole family. Anyway, it was quite spooky..."

Qin Xiao was slightly stunned. How come the stories she heard from other truck drivers who occasionally drove long distances were similar to hers?

What about accidentally driving into a curfew zone, and then the induction cooker becoming a spirit...

"Don't worry, the city news reported that there were no casualties. They also interviewed experts and said that it was a large-scale magnetic storm that caused the abnormality of home appliances."

Aunt Zhou was chattering to Qin Xiao. After staying for about twenty minutes, Qin Xiao was still worried and wanted to inquire about his younger brothers and sisters. As a result, he saw the youngest brother Qin Lan rushing home in a hurry.

"Sister, when did you come back?"

Qin Lan was a little surprised and came over to hug Qin Xiao's arm.

"Have you seen my second brother? He didn't seem to come home yesterday." Qin Xiao shook his head, worry flashing in his eyes.

I just heard from Aunt Zhou and the youngest child that Jiuchang Street has been rather chaotic and unsafe recently.

When my younger brother was young, he usually worked part-time and came into contact with all kinds of people in society.

What if you get bullied or hurt?
"Xiao Lan, clean up your house. I'll find a few well-informed colleagues to ask about the situation."

Qin Xiao acted decisively. In her eyes, Qin Shi was always a model student who was not capable of carrying anything and had no ability to protect himself.

Just as Qin Xiao was preparing to find a steel pipe and then go to the thugs hanging around on the street to gather intelligence, a car with a white license plate with black letters from the inspection department slowly drove into Baogong Street.

Aunt Zhou's store is a news transfer station, known as the military intelligence center of Jiuchang Street, and it has long been gathering a bunch of neighbors who come to watch the fun.

Among them, Mr. Song, who was always building a government and talking about the overall situation of Dongxia, was the first to speak:
"The person sitting in the car must be a senior leader! Black words on a white background, Heng A00001! Could it be that the top leader of the metropolitan area is coming to inspect?"

Uncle Zhang, who reads the newspaper every day, shook his head:
"How can a leader sit in the passenger seat? I guess the secretary is the driver. I think his rank is not high..."

Uncle Song and Uncle Zhang were discussing Jiangshan, but Aunt Zhou suddenly sat up:
"Hey! Xiao'er, look, is that your brother?"

Qin Xiao looked in the direction Aunt Zhou pointed and indeed caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

After not seeing him for a long time, Qin Shi seemed to be taller and more energetic.

only……

Why did my younger brother get into the city's official car?

Look at the license plate with black background and white letters on it: Zhang Heng A00001.

I knew it was something extraordinary!
"Oh my god! He has achieved so much as a kid!"

Uncle Song exclaimed that for old Jianzheng people, executive jackets and official license plates are both of great value.

It is like the official robes and sedan chairs in ancient times, which are privileges that people yearn for.

"It's a great treat to have the boss's secretary personally send him home."

Uncle Zhang was also amazed. How could a big leader in the urban area have anything to do with high school students in Jiuchang Street?
……

……

"Brother Huo, I'll get off here."

The image that Qin Shi Huang presented to the outside world was mostly that of a shy young man that was more in line with his age and temperament.

"Okay, Xiao Qin, can I call you that?"

Secretary Huo has a gentle smile, like a spring breeze. How to treat people is the basic skill of a chief secretary.

"Brother Huo knows that you are at a critical time for the college entrance examination. I will take care of all the necessary materials and documents, including the review visit, so as not to disturb you from improving your vitality. Okay?"

Is this the quality of a professional secretary?
It’s so worry-free and comfortable!
Qin Shi couldn't help but sigh, no wonder leaders all like to have secretaries.

"Thank you, Brother Huo, for your concern. I will treat you to a meal some other day!"

Secretary Huo, who was about thirty years old, adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:
"I'm serious. When you get admitted to a top university in the metropolitan area, Brother Huo will make sure you bleed and get a good meal out of you."

After a few pleasantries, Qin Shi closed the car door and waited until the official car that Chen Ruofu used for travel drove away before turning around.

"Hello! Are you okay?"

"Which leader's car in the metropolitan area is this? How can I send you back?"

"Oh, is this a classmate's family member..."

The uncles and aunts from the canteen surrounded Qin Shi and asked him curious questions.

Although the Dongxia Republic was established nine thousand years ago and the emperors and nobles of the past have long been abolished, people still have a strong yearning and a strong sense of awe for official positions and privileges.

"What are you arguing about! You're asking questions! Someone from the community is here to ask you to pick up your refrigerator and TV. Hurry up! If you go too late, someone else might take it away!"

At the critical moment, it was Aunt Zhou who shouted with all her might to disperse the noisy neighbors.

"Xiao Xiao, your sister is back. You didn't even leave a message when you were not home at night. You made your sister worry for a long time."

Aunt Zhou took a bottle of soda and put it in Qin Shi’s hand:
"You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Ask Zhou Ning to buy some biscuits, buns, and steamed buns and send them to your home later."

Qin Shi took the soda with a smile and walked towards the eldest and youngest sister.

"Sister, I'm fine."

"Well, let's go home."

Qin Xiao's heart finally settled down. He held Qin Shi with one hand and the youngest Qin Lan held his other hand.

The three of them returned to their shack in Baogong Street.

……

……

In the factory, the sun is setting.

Gao Haipeng was counting the electrical appliances with a grim face, while the old man was chattering:

"Comrade, my washing machine was working fine before, but now it's broken. Is there any compensation?"

The senior inspector of the Operations Department suppressed his anger:

"The compensation measures need to be handled by contacting the manufacturer and communicating with the department in Dangyang East Suburb. It is not my responsibility..."

But the old man refused to give up and started reminiscing for no reason. He said that the washing machine had been with him for twenty years and he bought it on his wedding day. It had a very rare sentimental value.

"That's enough! I'll pay for your washing machine out of my own pocket!"

Gao Haipeng couldn't stand it any longer, so he threw a stack of banknotes into the old man's hand, then kicked the antique to pieces to vent the pent-up anger in his chest.

Damn Qin Renying! Because she helped him, she ended up getting herself into trouble!
Is it possible for Chen Ruofu, who offended the head of the Inspection Department in person, to have any advancement in the future?
Maybe he’ll be sent to guard a pond in a few days!

"Comrade! My refrigerator is also very solid! Come and kick it. I also want to buy a new one..."

Seeing Gao Haipeng kicking the washing machine to pieces and paying a large amount of compensation, the uncles and aunts from Jiuchang Street who had fought out of the supermarket's discount promotion field instantly surrounded him.

"What a damn bad luck..."

Gao Haipeng was helpless. Even with his abundant vitality, he could not resist the crowd.

"It's quite lively over there, Inspector Gao."

Chen Yun worked hard for most of the day and finally dealt with all the things. She looked at Gao Haipeng who seemed to be in hell and sneered:

“Call it over and call it a day.”

……

……

into the night.

After explaining to the eldest sister Qin Xiao and the youngest sister Qin Lan, Qin Shi finally returned to the bedroom.

"Even the alarm clock ran away. What a heartless electronic devil! Fortunately, we have to move..."

He muttered a few words in his mind, then sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly regulating his breathing.

By relaxing your breath, you can get rid of all the distracting thoughts that fill your brain.

“I didn’t expect that the second limit of the physical body was not the ‘bone barrier’ arranged by Lao Liang.”

Qin Shi emptied his mind and naturally entered the palace of thinking. The void space seemed to expand again and turned into an extremely real small world.

He saw another "self".

"The ultimate divine test, meeting the gods in the void... the most difficult step, and I actually got through it?"
