Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen uniformly replied with a cool emoji to classmates and friends he had kept in touch with before but hadn't been in touch with much since.

Let's remove the red dots first, otherwise it looks awkward.

The rest are people you know well or elders.

Ye Chen put a lot of effort into replying to their messages; at least he didn't use perfunctory emojis anymore.

For example, Xiaoming and Xiaoqiang asked Ye Chen what happened, why he was in the Southern Territory, and why he was fighting with Sakura's ninjas. When did he get superpowers?

Most people asked the same questions that Xiaoming and his friends had asked.

After asking around, everyone's doubts turned out to be pretty much the same.

In response to these common, fundamental questions, Ye Chen replied in a standardized text: "This is a long story; let's meet in Lucheng and discuss it in detail!"

These kinds of things really need to be discussed face-to-face to be clear; they can't always be explained clearly over the phone, let alone in writing.

Typing on a phone is out of the question anyway; if you want to hear the gossip, come to Xiamen and eat it in person...

Elder Xie, Elder Zhou, and Elder Wang also sent Ye Chen similar messages of concern, which Ye Chen replied to in their small group chat, inviting them to his home for tea and a detailed discussion the next day.

Since we live in the same neighborhood, it's easier to communicate when we meet.

Having tea and a chat together would probably suit those old men's tastes better.

Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for them to type for most of the day.

Chen Muyan, a junior student at Binhai University, also sent him a message: "Senior Ye, are you filming a movie?"

"I must say, your idea is pretty good, but it lacks some camera work, resulting in a somewhat stiff visual effect. If you want to pursue a career in social media, you'll need to study this carefully!"

Ye Chen opened his mouth, but finally replied, following her words, "Yeah, I'll try learning some self-media shooting to see if I can make a living!"

After replying to Ye Chen, he immediately closed the chat window.

Zhou Caiwei also sent him a message: "Brother Ye Chen, you're so handsome! Could you take me for a spin sometime when you have time?"

The image is followed by a cute cartoon girl with big, blinking eyes, acting coquettishly.

This is the first time someone has tried to carry you right from the start.

While others might at least question the veracity of the story, this girl simply concluded that he could really fly.

"Sure, come to my house when you're free, I'll take you for a ride!" Ye Chen smiled and sent the message directly.

There's no need to hide it anymore; the higher-ups have already assigned him this role as a publicity ambassador, so let's just treat it as publicity.

Zhou Caiwei replied instantly, as if she had been staring at the chat box on her phone the whole time.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to come back from the Southern Border. Be careful!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, like a big bad wolf: "Then how about tomorrow night? Come to my house tomorrow night, and I'll show you the night view of Lucheng. Let's make it clear that there's a fee!"

"Hehe, okay, it's a deal, see you tomorrow!" Zhou Caiwei replied with a playful emoji.

She then stopped bothering Ye Chen with endless messages, and everyone went about their own business.

Ye Chen quite liked this kind of well-paced conversation.

Whether you're with her or just chatting with her, you'll always feel comfortable.

The fact that she could do that shows that this girl has both high IQ and EQ.

Since I've been playing games with Grandpa Zhou for so long, I might as well carry her for a bit.

A moment later, Chen Muyan sent another message: "I'm also learning about social media on my own. We can discuss it sometime!"

Ye Chen glanced at it but did not reply, and the conversation ended there.

Anyone who discusses self-media with her is just doing it part-time...

Perhaps the generation gap really exists, making people selective in their conversations.

Different paths lead to different perceptions, and the generation gap will only widen.

After eliminating all the red dots, Ye Chen finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Done!

The next day, early in the morning.

When Zhou, Xie, and a few other old men were jogging past Ye Chen's house, they found that Ye Chen had returned and was twisting his waist in the yard. Their eyes lit up immediately.

"Brother Ye, when did you get back?" Old Xie asked with a smile.

Ye Chen greeted the old men with a smile, "Good morning, everyone! Did you come back last night?"

At this moment, Ye's father and mother also came to the courtyard.

Ye Chen then took the opportunity to briefly introduce his parents to his friends.

That shameless old Xie directly called Ye's father "Brother Ye".

"Haha, it's Brother Ye! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Old Xie cupped his hands in greeting.

Old Zhou and the others waved and greeted Ye's parents.

In terms of age, Ye's father was younger than Xie Lao, so this "brother" completely stunned him.

What's wrong with calling your own son "Brother Ye" and him "Brother Ye"...

Is this the correct way to address someone?

However, Mr. and Mrs. Ye were not the type to be so particular about details, and they returned the greeting with a smile and a cupped hand.

"Brother, you flatter me! Come in and have a cup of tea!"

Anyway, they're all Xiaochen's neighbors, so as long as we get along, that's fine.

They were also secretly alarmed; Xiao Chen had managed to maintain excellent relationships with his neighbors.

Look at everyone's enthusiasm; they're clearly very familiar with each other.

Xiao Chen has really grown up; they still have nothing to worry about.

If there's anything to worry about, it's Ye Chen's marriage.

Mr. and Mrs. Ye were deeply moved at that moment.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going for a run with some of my buddies!"

Ye Chen gave a shout and went out to exercise with several old men.

Ye's father's face twitched; he felt extremely awkward hearing the word "brother."

Forget it, let's each do our own thing!

"You brat, if someone comes, at least invite them in for a cup of tea!"

"Brother Ye, there's no need for such formalities. We don't stand on ceremony with you!" Old Xie waved his hand.

Ye Chen left the hospital and joined the jogging fitness group.

Ye Chen was aware of their questions, and he came out to say a few words as well.

Ye Chen, who could speak his mind, naturally wouldn't hide anything, nor was there anything to hide.

Ye Chen, who couldn't say anything, didn't ramble on or show off.

"To be honest, gentlemen, I'm currently working for the country, in a special department, and I've signed a confidentiality agreement!"

When Ye Chen said this, everyone understood.

Although I was shocked, I also felt that this was the only reasonable explanation.

They also have this speculation, after all, firearms have already been developed.

They were already very grateful that Ye Chen could tell them this.

They originally wanted to ask some questions, but since Ye Chen said he had signed a confidentiality agreement, they didn't ask any further.

Ye Chen, who was able to speak, would take the initiative to tell them and answer their questions.

It's not something I can say. Asking won't help; it will only upset Ye Chen.

"So all the live stream videos online are real?" Old Zhou asked in a daze.

Ye Chen smiled without saying a word!

They neither admitted nor denied it.

Seeing Ye Chen's reaction, everyone already knew the answer. Some things don't need to be said so bluntly; if there's no denial, it's true.

"I knew long ago that Brother Ye was no ordinary man. From now on, we old brothers will have to rely on you for protection!" Old Xie said with a smile.
