Furthermore, even if a boss's preferences are commonplace and no amount of fussing would cost them much money or manpower, it would still encourage subordinates at all levels to adopt inappropriate tactics to please them, and it would also cause many honest people to choose silence and be afraid to speak the truth. Even if they clearly see the strangeness and inappropriateness of all this, under pressure, they may choose to remain silent for fear of the consequences.
So, if, Chen Huijie meant if, if one day he really couldn't let go and wanted to take over the old man's job, then he had to be careful about this. He couldn't let his preferences become a burden to others, and he couldn't let the illusions created by those subordinates who flatter him blind his eyes and affect his judgment.
To be honest, after Chen Huijie finished saying this, he was ready to continue arguing with the old man on this issue, but... the old man didn't say much about it. He just looked up, waved his hand without looking at him, and let him go and have fun.
To be honest, Chen Huijie felt quite happy at that time. He thought that the old teacher might be so angry with him this time that he might give up on himself and take over his class. But unfortunately, he didn't know how the old teacher thought it through. He continued to teach him the next day, and it seemed that he was more motivated in class.
I've strayed off topic. Why did I associate the problem with something irrelevant again? Let's get back to what my aunt said. However, there's no need to be too clear about the principles. I'll just follow the formula Aunt Wenyue said and be done with it.
What is the relationship between W and me? We are friends. What is the relationship between Exiah and me? We are also friends.
Do they worry about their own safety? I think so.
Do they care about their own feelings? That's natural.
Then, there was the most crucial question. This condition was given to him by his aunt afterwards. Chen Huijie remembered that his aunt's expression was very serious when she told him.
Does that mean they can beat me?
Chen Huijie thought about it, and then couldn't help but almost laughed out loud. With the abilities of Angel and W, even if the two of them were tied together, they would not be his match.
However, Chen Huijie felt that there was no need for Aunt Wen Yue to add this condition. He understood his aunt's worries. She was simply afraid that someone would get angry and really hurt the other person, and he would not be able to pull away in time, leaving some regrets.
There is really no need to worry about this. Putting aside other things, at least these two people haven't started fighting yet. It's just... why are they always staring at me? What went wrong as my aunt said? They can't be inviting me to join the fight, right?
Just as Chen Huijie was thinking this, the two people who were fighting behind him silently put away their bluffing hands, looked at each other, snorted coldly at the same time, and then sat down on both sides of Chen Huijie.
However...
Are you done fighting?
There was still a flash of dangerous light in the eyes of Angelica and W. There was no doubt that they still wanted to fight for victory, but the method used to decide the victory this time... The two people's eyes slowly fell on the guy who seemed to be recalling something.
Chen Huijie: Huh?! The atmosphere is not right?!
So, Chen Huijie made a quick decision, stood up and was about to find a reason to turn around, but immediately, two hands, one on the left and one on the right, pushed him back...
258 Xiao Ma: My home was stolen!! (Refresh)
At the beginning, just as Chen Huijie's aunt said, when Chen Huijie was reminiscing about the past, Angelica and W really felt that it was boring. After all, to be honest, there was no substantial personal grudge between the two of them. It was just because of Chen Huijie today.
But if they were to stop there, not to mention Angelica, at least W was unwilling to do so. She looked at the guy who was leisurely eating apple pie and drinking tea with his back to them. It would be a lie to say that she was not angry.
So, W simply threw away Angelica and strode towards Chen Huijie. Angelica also realized something and immediately put away his gun and followed W towards Chen Huijie.
It's very simple. Since the mountain won't come to me, I'll move towards it on my own initiative. Want to escape? No way!
So, at this moment, on both sides of Chen Huijie, as if they were the two ends of the scales of fate, W and Exia each gently picked up a piece of fragrant apple pie. The pie crust was golden and crispy, and the filling was full and tempting. At this moment, it was like a dual symbol of temptation and purity.
On Chen Huijie's left, there was a cunning light flashing in W's eyes and a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the deepest part of people's hearts, staring straight at Chen Huijie.
Due to the previous fierce battle, the gray T-shirt on her body, which originally fit her body tightly and outlined her graceful curves, was now torn just right. A few strands of fabric swayed gently, inadvertently revealing her snow-white, soft and delicate skin underneath, adding a bit of indescribable temptation and tenderness to the gray and dull earth.
On the other side, Exiah stood in a completely different posture. The apple pie in her hand was as pure and flawless as she herself, emitting a warm and soft light.
The eyes of the Angel of Power were as clear as water, as if they could wash away all the dust in the world. Her eyes were full of pure care and selfless dedication. She just looked at Chen Huijie pitifully.
Although her clothes were damaged in the battle, the broken edges seemed to add a touch of holy glory to her, like a pilgrim's dress that has become tougher after weathering the wind and rain, and every crack tells her story.
At this moment, two completely different beings simultaneously handed the apple pies in their hands to Chen Huijie slowly, and the air was filled with an indescribable tension and anticipation.
W's eyes were mixed with provocation and expectation, as if he was waiting for the other party's choice, while Angel was looking forward to Chen Huijie's move with a gentle and firm attitude.
For a moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze as a delicate balance quietly established itself between the three. Chen Huijie sat in the middle, his every subtle movement and every breath seeming to influence the direction of this fragile equilibrium.
Everything around seemed to have quieted down, leaving only the rapid heartbeats of W and Exias and the occasional sound of the wind outside the window, adding a touch of unpredictability to the tense and mysterious atmosphere. Chen Huijie also realized that something was wrong. He wanted to follow the emergency plan taught by his uncle and find a reason to withdraw first. However, if he didn't use his true energy, it seemed that he really couldn't resist the hands on his shoulders. And in this situation, according to his uncle's advice, if he used his true energy, Chen Huijie vaguely felt that this path seemed to have gone astray.
So, Chen Huijie sat down again. Faced with this situation, he sighed helplessly and said quietly while looking at the two pieces of apple pie in front of him:
"As we all know, only children make choices."
Before he finished speaking, the eyes of Angelica and W flashed. Chen Huijie took all the apple pies in their hands, stacked them together and took a bite. Looking at the two who seemed to be still unwilling to give in, Chen Huijie said with a headache:
"I always want everything. You are all my friends, the flesh and blood of my hands. Do you think I would cut off my own flesh?
Chen Huijie showed his left and right hands to Angelica and W respectively, and said softly:
"If you find it unacceptable for you to be friends with the Sarkaz or the Sakota, then I have no choice. Although they say you can't force a sweet melon, I can only try to force it a little bit."
In the previous world line, his uncle always said that he had grown up so fast. Every time he went abroad and came back, he would make people feel refreshed. However, Chen Huijie felt that he had not changed much. After all, going abroad to study was just to meet the talented people from all over the world and use them as his whetstone.
In response to this, my uncle smiled and told me that growth is a subtle and gradual process. When I realized what had changed about myself, I had become a man who could stand on his own.
But at this moment, Chen Huijie felt that something had changed about himself. In the past, when faced with heavy words such as choice and decision, he could always just laugh it off, make his own choices without any pressure, and face the path he wanted to take.
But after what happened with the evil demon Hai Si of Ursus... even Chen Huijie would still make a choice without hesitation. However, when making a choice, there would always be some melancholy, like a shadow quietly spreading under the night sky, quietly and silently invading Chen Huijie's heart.
When watching Angelica and W choosing their side, Chen Huijie's thoughts couldn't help but flicker, as if he was pulled by an invisible force and traveled back to the time when the evil spirits of Longmen were rampant and Haisi was wreaking havoc.
At that time, he was like standing at the crossroads of fate. On one side was his beloved homeland, and on the other were his brothers who fought side by side. He wanted to protect the peace of this land and the safety of every comrade. However, reality was like a sharp blade, vividly analyzing his inner contradictions and struggles.
In the previous world line, he wished he could split himself in two, with one half staying in Longmen to clean up the remnants of the fight against the invasion of evil demons; the other half would go with the army to fight a desperate battle with Hai Si.
But fate always seemed to like playing tricks on people. When he used all means and laid down countless talismans to successfully control the remaining evil spirits in the city and prevent them from spreading again, he also freed up his hands in time to block Hai Si outside Dayan, and finally achieved temporary victory on both ends.
But looking back, his most cherished comrade, the one who had shared life and death with him, had quietly left him. The unspeakable pain tore his heart apart like a thousand knives.
But Chen Huijie himself had to go and meet them, because no matter whether it was the evil police officer or the Hai Si follower, it seemed that only he could deal with them in the fastest and most harmless way.
Living on this earth, everyone is faced with choices all the time, filled with countless choices and giving ups, making people hesitate between gain and loss. Until the end, when everything is settled and looking back on the past, they suddenly realize that those so-called choices and struggles are nothing more than scripts that fate has already arranged, and we are just actors in it, helplessly performing our own joys and sorrows... Bullshit!
Chen Huijie has never believed in fate. If everything in the world is really predetermined by heaven, then when God wants to take something away from him, he must first ask the sword and talisman in his hand whether they agree!
In the previous world line, I was a little lax, which led to the failure to keep the things that should have been kept. Now, I have to do it again. Even though things and people have changed, how can I let it happen again!
Thinking of this, Chen Huijie immediately lost the desire to continue entangled with Angelica and W. He waved his hand casually and said softly:
"Okay, let's leave this topic behind. I have other things to do tomorrow. You guys can grab your things and leave. I'm a little tired."
It would be a lie to say he was tired. Chen Huijie was full of energy at this moment. If he guessed correctly, the wolf cubs in Syracuse would probably have some inappropriate thoughts next. He originally thought of picking them off tomorrow, but as the saying goes, "A dark and windy night is a good time for murder and arson." The moon was so cooperative tonight, it would be a pity if he didn't go on stage.
However, at this moment, Angel suddenly grasped Chen Huijie's hand, looked at him with guilty and clear eyes and said softly:
"Brother Jie...I'm sorry, I was naughty today. I won't do it again in the future. Please don't be angry, okay?"
On the other side, W looked at the hand held by Angelica, couldn't help but smack his lips, turned his head and held Chen Huijie's other hand:
"Tsk...you, if you were even remotely close to me, I'd blow you and that Sakota to pieces. I'll let it go this time, but I'm telling you, if this guy starts a fight, I'll blow her up, and you won't take sides."
"Hmph, I'll return this to you."
Exiah snorted in dissatisfaction, looked at W and said:
"As long as you don't cause trouble, the Lord's punishment will naturally not fall on you!"
"Ho ho ho... This is the punishment from the Lord. If your Lord is so useful, why hasn't He converted the entire world into His followers?"
"...Brother Jie, you saw it, she was the one who caused trouble for me first."
"Hey, hey, hey, Lao Chen, you heard it too, it was this guy who started the provocation!"
The bickering between Angelica and W still hadn't ended, but compared to the initial heated exchange, it was much softer now. However...
Chen Huijie watched as it started with just a handshake, then slowly started to grab his forearm, and now, each holding his arm. The subtle touch from his arm made Chen Huijie grin involuntarily.
No, how can I go out if you are like this? Why did you two try to capture me for no reason? You two women, since you have aroused my ambition, then don't delay me from doing my work.
"Alright, alright, that's all for tonight. Let's go. I remembered I have to go somewhere and see if there's any problem over there."
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing Chen Huijie about to stand up, W quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him down. She looked at the clock and saw it was almost one in the morning. She said, somewhat unable to contain herself:
"What are you doing out there at this hour? If we don't go right away, will Longmen be blown up?"
"Brother Jie, don't push yourself too hard."
At this time, Angel of Power also spoke out to persuade him. After noticing that Chen Huijie's normal strength seemed to be not as strong as his own, Angel of Power unceremoniously displayed his 'brute force' to stop Chen Huijie and said:
"If you feel that the two of us quarreling here are annoying you, then it is us who should leave, not you."
"That's right, you see, I, a Sarkaz, agree with what this Sakota said. At worst, we can just leave. You better just take a rest."
W felt Chen Huijie trying to pull his arm out of his arms, and quickly hugged him tighter:
"Old Chen, it won't be a big deal if Longmen leaves you for a while. You've already vomited blood, so just behave yourself."
"That's not vomiting blood, that's me expelling dirty blood. These two are not the same thing..."
"Brother Jie, please don't die! Wuuuuuuuuu!!!"
Just when Chen Huijie was about to explain something, when Angel Neng heard that his brother Jie had vomited blood, his eyes immediately turned red, and he looked at Chen Huijie with a look as if he was about to cry, no, tears were already welling up in his eyes. Chen Huijie was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and he said helplessly:
"Just now you were arguing and fighting, why are you teaming up to deal with me now? I'm really fine now, my heart problem has healed..."
"What?! You have heart problems?" X2
Exiah and W really didn't expect that Chen Huijie would be in this situation, and they shouted in unison.
"It's already done, why are you still only halfway obedient?"
At this time, Angel and W no longer had the heart to listen to Chen Huijie's words. They looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding. Not to mention Angel, even W understood that if one had heart discomfort, one had to rest well. Based on their understanding of Chen Huijie, he was probably saying that he would sleep, but in fact, after they left, he would get up and do what he had to do.
Therefore, when it comes to critical issues involving the life, death and health of friends, even racial conflicts can be put aside for the time being!
So, Exia and W exerted their strength at the same time, and with a "Hey", they sandwiched Chen Huijie and fell on the bed. It was obvious that they wanted to use this method to force Chen Huijie to sleep well today.
"You, what a disgrace! Let go! Don't force me to shock you with my Qi."
I understand. He can’t break free without using true energy.
Chen Huijie's words immediately made Angel and W understand something. Then, neither of them said anything, but just stared at Chen Huijie, as if they would rather die than surrender, which gave Chen Huijie a headache.
No, how did they even come to such a tacit understanding? My chest pain has truly healed. My training wasn't in vain. Why don't they believe it?
However, just as Chen Huijie was about to use his bone-shrinking technique to break free, the door to the room was suddenly knocked, and Margaret's voice was heard:
"Mr. Chen, are you asleep?"
"he has slept."
"Oh."
Listening to the sound coming from inside the door, Margaret nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly realized something and raised her head abruptly.
No, whose voice is this?!
259 Yuxia: What are you talking about?
Margaret just wanted to come and have a quick chat with Chen Huijie. After all, she had already made up her mind. She just wanted to repay a favor. Yes, that's right. She didn't have any other extra thoughts. She would never steal a man from her aunt. As a knight, how could she do such a thing?
So, Margaret thought this afternoon that she might as well try her best to be a wingman for her aunt and completely give up this idea. But who would have thought that her aunt was unable to speak out the matter at the dinner table.
What's going on, aunt? What's wrong with you? Looking at your interaction on the sofa before, it doesn't look like you just met. Or, you have actually finished the thing quietly and are just waiting for your benefactor to finish the matter of Longmen so that you can take it back. But I don't think so. It doesn't look like you have discussed everything you need to discuss.
It can only be said that Margaret has known too little about the outside world these days. Like ordinary police officers in the Guards Bureau, her understanding of Chen Huijie still remains as a police inspector who was forced to retire. Although she sees Chen Huijie busy every day, Margaret really doesn't have a clear understanding of him.
Therefore, Margaret felt that it was perfectly fitting that her aunt took away a police inspector who had been treated unfairly. If her aunt hadn't seized this opportunity, Margaret would have wanted to... ahem, no, well, so, Margaret came here to be the lobbyist! Yes, lobbyist, Margaret, remember the purpose of your visit!
But when she arrived at the door, Margaret looked at the door in front of her, and her heart was still extremely depressed. She raised her hand several times, and put it down several times. Reason told her that it was right for her to withdraw in time, but the surging thoughts in her heart made her unable to put down her fingers to knock on the door.
It was at this time that Chen Huijie's attention was attracted by Angelica and W. Otherwise, Chen Huijie would have opened the door long ago to see what this person was doing.
But in the end, Margaret still knocked on the door. She had made up her mind. Just like the knight story books she had read, as a glorious knight, she would always experience some regrets. Margaret felt that she would accept this experience calmly.
Yeah, I will.
What Margaret didn't expect was that the voice that came out after she knocked on the door didn't seem to be her benefactor's voice. Margaret didn't react at first and took two steps outside before she realized something was wrong. She quickly turned around and rushed to the door.
Those were the other women's voices.
This thought flashed through Margaret's mind for only a few seconds before she instinctively pushed open the door and saw her benefactor lying on the bed, surrounded by women.
In response to this, Angelus couldn't help but stick out her tongue. It was she who said that sound just now, and it was not her fault. Who would have thought that someone would come knocking on the door at this time? Looking at Margaret's shocked eyes, Angelus didn't know what to say. She could only bury her head in the bed with a flushed face and act like an ostrich.
As for W, although she had expected it, she still wanted to scold her pig teammate, Angelica. She looked at Chen Huijie, then at Margaret, and her neck stiffened, so she pretended that she saw nothing and continued to hold Chen Huijie.
"Margaret, you're here just in time. Help me drag these two people down."
This scene was still too exciting for Chen Huijie, but the key now was to free himself from between these two people. Although true Qi was useful, Chen Huijie felt that even the most appropriate true Qi would still make W and Angelica dizzy. Therefore, Margaret's arrival was truly great...
