Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and realized that he definitely couldn't keep this a secret.

Even if it's not posted on the intranet, wouldn't the Orochi group know about it?

They will definitely find out.

Based on various clues, it is likely that there are members of the Yagigumi (Eight-Headed Group) in the upper echelons of Beidou.

Once the matter is reported, they must already be aware of it.

Therefore, there is no need to hide it, and whether or not it is released on the intranet will not have much impact on him.

Since those who shouldn't know probably already know, the message loses its purpose of being kept secret.

The release of this information on the internal network could actually boost his fame and reputation, so why not?

First, spread the word internally to make Ye Chen's name known, and then legitimately promote him to the top position.

With his abilities, he should be qualified to serve as the person in charge of Tian Shu.

However, he is a new member with limited experience, and others don't know him well, which may lead to criticism from other members of the Beidou team.

Why should a newcomer like him be appointed as the head of a department?

Is there something fishy going on here? Did Ye Chen get promoted through connections?

But now that he's been promoted, who would dare to treat him as a newcomer?

Who wants to try killing two late-stage Qi Refining experts?

Although this place doesn't emphasize seniority, having some seniority will definitely make things look better and shut up more people.

This opportunity to make a contribution was conveniently seized upon by the higher-ups.

Thinking about this, Ye Chen understood and seemed to grasp the deeper meaning behind it.

He is not opposed to this.

It's just killing two mere late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and capturing one person. This is nothing.

So what if the whole world knows?

If that's really all the strength he has, then he should probably panic.

However, he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator who progresses rapidly, and his spiritual power has already reached the Golden Core realm.

He has nothing to worry about.

Tian Shu also needs someone who can keep things under control.

Although Lu Ye had been a member of Tian Shu for quite some time, his cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

He's still a bit short of being able to become a person in charge.

Lu Ye laughed and said, "Boss, you need to get familiar with your department's operations quickly; the appointment document might be coming down soon!"

Ye Chen nodded: "Nothing unusual should have happened during this time, right?"

"Yes, speaking of which, you need to be careful. People from the Yazi Sect have gone to Longjin Community to inquire about you."

Lu Ye thought of something and said.

"Oh, from the Cliff Sect, you must have found me through the Wang family!" Ye Chen stroked his chin.

Lu Ye nodded: "Yes, although you've joined Tian Shu and your information is now kept confidential, the Wang family still has some of your past records, so it's normal that they were able to contact you to find out more!"

"The Cliff Sect, huh? Hmm, I see!" Ye Chen wasn't too surprised.

It was within his expectations that people from the Cliff Sect would come looking for him.

Right now, the other party only has suspicions and no substantial evidence, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they might do something unreasonable.

But is Ye Chen afraid of them being unreasonable? Ye Chen is afraid of them being reasonable!

If we're being reasonable, he wouldn't have any grounds to punish them.

......

At Lucheng University of Science and Technology, the second uncle stood downstairs in the girls' dormitory and dialed Chen Tingting's number.

Chen Tingting answered the phone, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Hey Dad, you finally called back! Where have you been all this time?"

My second uncle took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calmer: "He went to pursue further studies. How have you been lately?"

"I've been doing really well lately!" Chen Tingting said with a smile.

"Have you made an appointment for that mortgage?" my second uncle asked slowly.

Chen Tingting froze, and after a long pause, she stammered, "Dad, I used that money for long-term investments, and I can't withdraw it for a while. Could you transfer me another 200 million?"

My second uncle simply couldn't bear to hear what he had just heard.

Is this something her daughter would say?

Is he going to make long-term investments? Do you really think he doesn't know anything?

Another 200 million? Their appetite has grown that big already?

You probably wouldn't even consider something that costs a few hundred or a few thousand anymore, right?

Uncle's heart sank.

On the other end of the phone was her beloved daughter, and her second uncle ultimately did not lash out.

"What kind of investment are you making? Does it require so much money?"

"Dad, you don't understand finance, and you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, so don't ask so many questions. Mom said you have 500 million yuan for settling down, so transfer another 200 million yuan to me. I'll go pay off the mortgage!"

Chen Tingting spoke in a coquettish manner.

"Where are you now? Come out and let's talk!" Second Uncle took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

If Chen Tingting had been honest with him, he might have been more accepting, but he wasn't.

"Oh, I'm in class right now. Let's do it another day. Remember to transfer the money to me, bye-bye!" Chen Tingting said and hung up the phone.

My second uncle stared at the phone for a long time without saying a word.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Are you Tingting's father?!"

The second uncle snapped out of his daze and looked at the two girls: "Who are you?"

"Uncle, don't you recognize us? You treated us to a meal when school started! We're Tingting's roommates!"

Second Uncle suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, I recognize you! Haha, getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be!"

"By the way, don't you guys have classes?" my second uncle asked curiously.

"No need, the exams are all over, why would we have classes? We're already on vacation!" Liu Yiyi replied frankly.

She didn't mean to undermine Chen Tingting; no class meant no class, and they were both preparing to go back to their hometown.

Who knows why Chen Tingting lied!

"Oh, no classes?" Uncle Er felt a pang in his heart.

He couldn't help but recall Chen Tingting's words, and felt a tightness in his chest.

"Uncle, you're here to see Tingting, right? Did you call her? Should we go up and call her down?" Wang Zhaodi asked her second uncle.

My second uncle waved his hand: "Never mind, no need to call her. I just came to the campus for a stroll and to see your living conditions!"

"Oh, I see—" Liu Yiyi and Wang Zhaodi exchanged a glance, both noticing that Tingting's father had something on his mind.

Any parent would be troubled by their daughter's condition.

"You all go ahead with your work, I'll take a walk around and see what's going on. I'll treat you all to dinner another day!" Second Uncle said with a smile.

"Okay, then Uncle, we'll go upstairs first. Tingting is waiting for the sushi we brought her!" Liu Yiyi said, waving the bag in her hand.

Second Uncle nodded: "Go on up!"

My second uncle didn't leave immediately, but sat down on a nearby bench, seemingly lost in thought.

After Liu Yiyi and Wang Zhaodi returned to their dormitory, Chen Tingting was lying in bed watching a drama, still in her pajamas.

Wang Zhaodi smiled and said, "Tingting, guess who we ran into downstairs?"

Liu Yiyi nudged Wang Zhaodi, who opened her eyes wide and said, "What's wrong? It's not like it's something that can't be said."

Chen Tingting asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who did you run into?"

"No, no!"

"Your dad!"

Liu Yiyi and Wang Zhaodi spoke at the same time.
