Not a god

Chapter 11 Father Chen
In the evening, the TV broadcast the news about the chaos in the center of Jiangcheng City at noon today.

The reporter interviewed several passers-by and recorded a video of the scene.

First, the owner of the flower shop next door was interviewed: "My girlfriend and I thought it was just an ordinary minotaur at first, but it suddenly made a scary noise."

Then a middle-aged woman passing by said: "That thing looks creepy, just like a ghost."

A large group of mosaics next to them made an impatient voice: "Mom, don't worry about her, let's go!"

"Hey, Luo, you... I'm so sorry. By the way, remember to help my son with the thick code."

"Auntie, Auntie, do you know that a strange man with a bull's head appeared here today?"

"My third aunt's."

The old lady sitting on the roadside said to the reporter with confidence: "It's my third aunt's cow. Her cows often run out, so I can't be wrong."

Seeing that the reporter didn't believe her, the old lady nodded affirmatively and said, "That's what she looks like."

"Okay, okay, thank you, ma'am. Let's watch the relevant video next."

The picture clearly showed the Minotaur. It was standing stupidly in the middle of the road, then it suddenly let out a huge roar like a train whistle entering a station, jumped more than two meters high, crushed a car with its pressure, and finally walked towards a coffee shop on the side of the road.

The video ends here.

The entire video is very high-definition, with multiple cameras switching back and forth between perspectives, including a close-up of the Minotaur's face, the crowd fleeing in panic, and interviews with passers-by that are also described vividly.

"This incident should be a prank by local citizens. The relevant personnel have been subdued by enthusiastic citizen Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao, can you tell me in detail what happened at that time?"

Mr. Zhao is a muscular man over two meters tall. "Where did this unlucky kid come from? He was drinking coffee and suddenly ran in and yelled. He was beaten and then he became quiet. But the coffee in this Chenxi Coffee Shop is really delicious, with a strong aroma and a comfortable environment. It is located next to Jiangcheng Times Square, 106 Songzi Street..."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Zhao."

The screen immediately switched, and the sweet reporter held the microphone and looked at the camera: "We'll stop here first, our reporter Jiang Xinyue will report to you."

But in the background, there was the voice of an enthusiastic citizen, Mr. Zhao, talking to someone unknown.

"Boss, is it okay for the boss to say this?"

The TV starts broadcasting the next news.

Chen Xi, who was sitting in front of the TV and changing the channel, couldn't help but complain: "Is this the troubled times? Even an interview has become a mess."

The rumor was glossed over without even an expert refuting it. Especially the host's tone, which gave people the feeling that I know what happened and have inside information, but I don't intend to explain it to you in detail.

Some self-media and short video platforms on the Internet have hyped up and discussed this matter heatedly.

In fact, this is not just one incident. Several similar incidents have occurred in recent months.

But the officials all have an attitude of "I know, it's not a big deal, don't worry."

Mr. Guan said that the time is not right yet. If it is made public, it will require long explanations to convince people. It is better to seize the time and do something more meaningful, and then make an announcement when everyone realizes that the world is changing.

None of this is his business.

Although it was none of his business, it was a small hot topic in the news. Some people who knew that he was planning to open a cafe there contacted him as soon as they saw the news.

They are all classmates, seniors, friends from the Student Union Sports Department, and some people I met while working.

Chen Xi replied one by one, saying that he was fine, but the glass of the store was broken and it had to be redecorated after it had just been renovated.

Classmate A: That's so pitiful, Lao Chen.
Classmate B: I'm glad they're OK. The thing in the video is really creepy! Classmate C: There seems to be a lot of news like this recently. I always feel like the news is hiding something. The official attitude is also weird. Isn't this just perfunctory?
Student D: Actually not.

Student E: Quite the opposite.

Student F: I would like to hear more details.

The chat room in the class group became more and more chaotic, and then people started talking about graduation, internships, final year projects, postgraduate entrance exams and job hunting.

The next semester will be the second half of the senior year. The fall recruitment has ended and the spring recruitment is about to begin. The employment situation in the past two years... anyway, more than half of the class have not received an offer yet.

Many people were confused. There were very few college students like Chen Xi who were both guaranteed to be admitted to graduate school and dared to start their own business, so while chatting, they started talking about opening a store.

They agreed to have a meal together at his restaurant after it opened, and Chen Xi agreed immediately.

Classmate A: After graduation, I will work as a waiter in Lao Chen's store.
Student B: I will be the cashier

Student C: I will form the cleaning team
He didn't care about these stupid remarks, because these three people either got admitted to graduate school or their families had companies.

Those who really haven't found a job will never speak on such topics.

Just then, a call came in.

And it's a video call.

He answered the call and saw a face that looked somewhat similar to his. After all, they were father and son.

"I saw something happened to you on the news, are you okay?"

"fine."

"Is the money enough?"

"Enough."

"You and Wanwan are about to graduate."

"Well, next summer."

"Your cousin and I will try to find time to come out."

"it is good."

Neither of them talks much, it's not that the father-son relationship is bad, it's just that they don't talk much.

However, at this moment, Jiang Wanwan, who had been fiddling in the living room for a long time, came running over hurriedly, holding the child.

"Brother, what should I do? She keeps making a fuss... Hey, are you talking to my cousin on the phone? Good evening, cousin."

"He must be hungry. Let me hold him. You go make the milk powder first." Chen Xi took the child and looked at the face on the screen that had not responded for a long time.

Obviously, this is not a network delay.

It's just that the other person's brain is a little delayed.

The other party must have misunderstood.

Chen Xi held the child and gave a positive answer: "Yes, we have a child."
