Atlas of Heaven and Man
#459 - Decide
The gates of Yangzhi Wuyi Academy opened, and a security guard raised his hand in salute, watching as a Kader car slowly entered the academy.
Chen Chuan held the steering wheel as he drove in. It was during the New Year holiday, and all the teachers and students were on vacation. There were few people on the road except for the security guards, and there was a thin layer of snow on the treetops and eaves on both sides.
Driving along the road, he soon arrived at the edge of Spring and Autumn Lake, with the dormitory building on one side coming into view.
It had only been less than half a year since he was last here, and almost all the students in his class had graduated. However, the dormitory supervisor must still be here, waiting for his retirement bonus after all.
After passing Spring and Autumn Lake, he continued driving in until he reached the lakeside residential area for the academy's teachers.
When he was studying at the school, he had been to Cheng Zitong's house a few times. Most of the time, he taught in his dormitory practice room, and occasionally he would go to other practice halls.
Because the snow had stopped a few days ago, the sun was shining brightly at this moment. Outside the cleaned open-air courtyard, two old men were sitting at a stone table playing chess.
They saw a car coming and glanced over.
One of them said, "Which teacher's relative is that? I haven't seen them before."
"Look where they're going..." the other old man squinted forward, "They're going to Director Cheng's house."
"Hard to say. I think it's mostly because he taught a good student."
"The one who went to Central City?"
"Working in the Central City Administration, what a big name! He came back half a year ago, and I heard his position is already quite high. In a few years, I think even the principal will have to give him face."
"No wonder Director Cheng has gained a lot of weight this year. Anyone would eat a few more bowls of rice."
At this time, the car stopped in front of the courtyard. The door opened, and they saw a handsome and tall young man in a military coat uniform stepping out.
One of the old men said, "Old Qian, is that the student of Director Cheng you mentioned?"
"Yes, it should be."
"This uniform, why does it look so unusual to me..."
The two men squinted from a distance, and then their hearts jumped in unison.
It wasn't just that they recognized the uniform, but also when they looked over, they could feel an unspeakable aura from the young man.
The aura connection between fighters is very sensitive. Although the other party didn't turn his head, they both felt as if their skin was pricked by needles at that moment, and their hairs stood on end.
The two old men exchanged glances.
"Director Cheng's student is extraordinary."
Cheng Zitong was the deputy director of logistics, so there were security guards responsible for guarding the gate. They had received notice early in the morning, and when they saw Chen Chuan coming, they immediately opened the gate and saluted him.
Chen Chuan nodded, carrying the gifts as he walked in. As soon as he crossed the front hall, he saw Cheng Zitong walking out from inside. Compared to half a year ago, this teacher looked like his waistline was a circle bigger, full of energy, and looked like he was eating and sleeping well.
"Xiao Chuan is here, come in, come in. Sigh, you came all the way, why did you bring anything?"
Chen Chuan said, "It's just a small token of appreciation from a student."
"Okay, the teacher won't be polite with you." Cheng Zitong looked him up and down, and his eyes lit up, "This uniform, you're an executive captain? When did you get promoted again?"
Chen Chuan said, "It hasn't been long, just these past two months."
"Good, good." Cheng Zitong seemed to think of something and looked even happier, "Well, this uniform fits you well, it should be you wearing it, come, come in and sit down."
Chen Chuan followed him in. The layout of this courtyard was similar to the residences of other teachers, all in an old-fashioned style. When he arrived at the flower hall, he took the tea canister that Cheng Zitong took out and said, "Teacher, let me do it."
After brewing the tea, Chen Chuan handed it to Cheng Zitong before sitting down.
Cheng Zitong held the steaming teacup in his hand and sighed, "The teacher knows that promotion in Central City is not that easy. If it were another student, the teacher would have to advise them not to work too hard, but the teacher knows that you, this student, know what you're doing, so there's no need for the teacher to say more."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I remember all the teachings from the teacher in the past."
Cheng Zitong's round face was full of smiles. He put down the teacup, "Xiao Chuan, tell the teacher about your days in Central City."
Chen Chuan nodded.
The teacher and student sat in the flower hall drinking tea and chatting. During this time, guests arrived one after another, but they all just visited, left gifts, and then left.
At noon, Chen Chuan ate a meal here. He stayed until three or four in the afternoon, and seeing that it was getting late, he got up to say goodbye and leave. Cheng Zitong sent him to the door, and after watching him get in the car and leave, he turned back into the house.
When he reached the inner room, he thought for a while, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.
"Hello, Senior Brother, I'll come to see you later... Just because I wished you a happy New Year doesn't mean I can't come to see you? When did we, fellow disciples, become so distant? Oh, you have something to go out for..."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Zitong chuckled, "Go out? What are you going out for at this hour? Just because you don't want me to come, I won't come?"
He took a sip of tea, picked up a box of gifts he had prepared long ago, and slowly strolled out the door.
After Chen Chuan visited Cheng Zitong, he returned to his aunt's house. A few days later, he went out to gather with old classmates such as Ding Jiao.
This year's winter didn't seem as cold as in the past, so the originally planned ice skating and skiing activities were canceled, and instead, they rode two-wheeled motorcycles together and went to the newly opened archery hall in the city center to shoot arrows.
Archery is not taught in Wuyi, because the upper limit of ordinary bows and arrows is there. Not to mention the inconvenience of carrying them, using them requires a certain amount of skill, and it is better to use a pistol or throw with your bare hands, which is more accurate and powerful.
However, it is still very good as entertainment and exercise. As a fighter, Chen Chuan only needs to know the skills of exerting force, and he can get started after a few practices, but he came out to play with everyone and did not show too much.
In fact, after becoming a fighter, except for some entertainment that requires special skills, ordinary physical activities are almost no challenge for him.

After relaxing with his classmates for a few days, Chen Chuan arrived at the Duyi Hotel on the fourteenth. This time it was a dinner with Wei Chang'an and others. When he arrived, everyone who had been there last time was there again.
After ordering the food, Wei Chang'an said, "Junior, remember when you told us about the Central City last time? Brother Wei and I discussed it with everyone and plan to go to the Central City to try our luck after the New Year."
Chen Chuan said with a smile, "Brother Wei, that's a good thing."
He has always been encouraging this. Yangzhi's ceiling is here. Wei Chang'an and others have been staying here purely wasting their talents. Not only can their fighting ability not be improved, but they may only be clients in their lifetime. On the contrary, they can achieve something in the Central City.
Moreover, before the Great Crash is about to come, the world inside and outside is constantly changing, and the class boundaries that existed before can be crossed more easily.
Cai Si said, "Actually, we are not the only ones who plan to do this. As far as I know, there have been quite a few client teams going to the Central City recently."
Since the demise of Melan Company and the downfall of the Blood Scar Gang, the Iron Chain Gang has been doing business honestly. Under the leadership of Director Guan, the patrol bureau has been strictly controlling the public security in the city, and there is almost nothing happening in the city.
Although there are still many things happening outside the city, the channels for smuggling to Yangzhi have also been severely cracked down on several times. Now, except for fighting with armed teams in the wasteland, there are almost no major commissions."
He shook his head and said, "There is only so much meat, and so many people are staring at it. Instead of fighting for it here, it is better to change places."
Several people in their team were sympathetic, and even Ren Xiaotian, who didn't talk much, nodded silently.
Wu Han and Wei Dong looked at each other at this time, seemingly puzzled. The meaning seemed to be, are there fewer commissions? Is there? Why didn't we feel it?
Cai Si saw their meaning and said helplessly, "You guys take all the commissions in the wasteland, and who else is as indiscriminate as you? Of course you won't feel less."
The commission company especially likes Wu Han and Wei Dong, who will do any commission as long as there is one, and never ask about the difficulty. Moreover, some commission teams also like to deal with these two who dare to fight and are willing to charge at the front line. Every time they can invite them, the success rate of the commission task rises sharply.
It is estimated that they will not lack commissions until they kill all the wasteland armed groups.
Wu Han said, "Wei Dong and I cooperate very well. This Wei Dong has gone to Wuyi General Hospital to study," and then looked at Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan next to him, "Junior Feng, Junior Luo, I heard you are going with us?" Seeing both of them nodding, he said distressedly, "Then I'm the only one left. Should I go to Central City too."
Chen Chuan said at this time, "There are many opportunities in Central City, and the resources that can be obtained are far more than those in Yangzhi. Central City calls the surrounding cities marginal cities. Although it is a derogatory term, the gap between the two sides is obvious. If you are determined to go higher, then only there can you get what you want."
After a pause, he said, "I have now gained a foothold in Central City. If you come to Central City, I can help you a little."
If his team could recruit people who have signed confidentiality agreements, or who are from the fusion zone, he would have recruited them into his team, but there may be opportunities in the future.
Wei Chang'an's expression became more serious, and he said, "Junior is right, then I, Brother Wei, will be shameless. We are not familiar with the place in Central City, and we still need you, Junior, to take care of us."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I believe that with the abilities of Brother Wei and Brother Si, you can stand anywhere."
Wu Han slapped the table and said with his head held high, "It's decided, I'll go to Central City after the New Year!"
He said to Chen Chuan, "Junior Chen, then we'll see you in Central City. I'll toast you."
As he said that, he stood up and raised the cup on the table.
With his actions, everyone present raised their glasses and stood up.
Chen Chuan smiled slightly and stood up as well. He picked up the cup in front of him and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you in Central City."
