Starry Sky, I can hear their secrets

“Uh… ahhh…”

"How did young friend Yanqing lose?"

"My three million, three million..."

Master Gongshu stood there like a stone sculpture, letting the cold wind blow past him.

The craftsmen and apprentices of the Industrial Manufacturing Company all had sad faces.

Without exception, they all bet everything on Yan Qing to win, and lost everything they invested.

Who could have thought that Yan Qing would lose?

Everyone thought that Su Jinyan would definitely lose, and lose miserably. Now it seemed that they had underestimated him.

Tingyun smiled happily, wagging his big fluffy tail: "This time I'm going to make a fortune."

Su Jinyan walked briskly to Tingyun and asked, "Tingyun, how many credit points did you earn this time?"

Tingyun said happily: "It's a small profit of more than 30 million."

"Don't worry, benefactor. You also have a share of these credit points. I will split it with you 50-50."

Su Jinyan smiled slightly: "I have three, you have seven."

Tingyun smiled and said, "You are so generous, benefactor."

"Then I will be honored to refuse. I will transfer the nine million credit points to your account right now."

Su Jinyan explained: "No, no, no, you misunderstood."

"What I mean is, I take 30 million and you take the remaining 70,000."

Tingyun: “?”

Fu Xuan asked, "Tingyun, I bet on Su Jinyan to win. When will the 900 million credit points be deposited into my account?"

Tingyun: “?”

Okay, okay, you two are here to bully me, right?

Fu Xuan stopped talking and turned to look at Su Jinyan, who was also looking at her.

Neither of them spoke, and each was waiting for the other to speak.

Fu Xuan pursed his lips, looking annoyed.

Why do I feel like this guy is even more troublesome than Qingque?

After a while, Fu Xuan finally couldn't help it: "Su Jinyan, you——"

Su Jinyan was shocked and looked down at his phone.

"The auspicious time has arrived. Today is my grandfather's big day. Master Fu Xuan, I will take my leave first."

Tsk, the reason for asking for leave is exactly the same as Qingque's. She also came up with such random ideas to fool me.

Fu Xuan decisively grabbed his wrist and said calmly:

"I should have told Tingyun to tell you to go to work at the Taibu Division as soon as you wake up."

Tingyun looked innocent, she had indeed reminded him.

But the benefactor refused to listen and insisted on bringing her to the factory.

Su Jinyan turned the tables and said sternly, "Tingyun, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me such an important thing right away?"

Tingyun pretended to be wronged and said, "Don't blame me, benefactor. It just happened to coincide with your grandfather's wedding."

"I forgot about it because I was so excited."

Su Jinyan was puzzled: "Why are you so excited about my grandfather's marriage?"

Tingyun smiled slyly: "Besides, although you missed the time to go to work at the Taibu Division, didn't you also gain something?"

Su Jinyan couldn't help but ask, "What did you gain?"

Ting Yun opened her lips slightly and said, "Think about it, I brought you to the factory because I wanted you to meet your grandfather."

"Although you didn't see your grandfather, you saw your grandmother."

Su Jinyan looked confused: "Ah? Grandma?"

"Where is grandma? I can't see her."

Tingyun opened his folding fan, covered his mouth and chuckled: "Hey, benefactor, you are joking. Isn't grandma right here~"

Su Jinyan: “?”

This was the first time anyone had managed to outwit him in a verbal exchange.

A hearty laugh came from a distance, which made Fu Xuan couldn't help but look sideways.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Miss Tingyun is still so eloquent."

Yanqing followed the man closely like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to say a word.

Tingyun smiled softly: "General, that's not true."

"No matter how eloquent I am, I will only be bullied by my benefactor."

Su Jinyan twitched his lips: "Haha."

You have the upper hand over me, you bad fox, and you still let me bully you.

Chapter 21: Fu Taibu's Apprentice

The man with golden eyes and white hair tied in a high ponytail walked over slowly and said with a smile:

"If I hadn't heard Qing Zhu's report, I really wouldn't have known that so many people were gathered in the martial arts arena."

Is there anything more embarrassing than being caught slacking off by the general?

All the craftsmen in the Engineering Department felt somewhat embarrassed.

She greeted Jing Yuan with a little embarrassment, and Jing Yuan smiled and nodded in return.

Master Gongshu said awkwardly: "Well, I also saw that Young Master Yanqing wanted to compete with Mr. Su."

"So I thought of calling everyone over to help Young Master Yanqing and broaden his horizons."

Jing Yuan smiled lightly, without any blame: "It's okay, work also needs a combination of work and rest."

Fu Xuan asked calmly, "General, why are you here to join in the fun instead of taking care of your official duties?"

Jing Yuan rubbed Yan Qing's hair and laughed loudly:

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that Yanqing had been bullied like this."

Yan Qing broke free from Jing Yuan's grasp and complained, "General, I am no longer a child."

Fu Xuan raised his delicate little face, with a somewhat smug expression:

"It just so happens that the general is here, so I don't have to send a text message to introduce him to you."

"The person beside me is called 'Su Jinyan', and he is my new disciple."

Su Jinyan looked at her in confusion. When did I become your new disciple?

Fu Xuan looked back coldly, his eyes containing a warning, indicating that he should not talk nonsense.

Su Jinyan said in a muffled voice: "Fu Xuan, oh no, Master, just call me 'Ayan'."

Jing Yuan didn't know what he was thinking about, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Fu Xuan glared at him: "General, what are you laughing at?"

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world."

"The fact that Mr. Fu was pursued by a new fortune teller has probably spread throughout the six departments. It's not a rare thing."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Fu Qing would accept him as a disciple."

Fu Xuan's face turned slightly red. How come this news spread so quickly?

Jing Yuan commented: "Your unique confession is quite interesting."

"Whether it succeeds or not, it will leave a deep impression on Fu Qing."

Su Jinyan nodded gently: "General, you are right. I think Master Fu Xuan should be satisfied."

"Otherwise, how could you say that no matter what merits I make in the future, I will be rewarded... well, punished."

"Puff——" Tingyun opened the folding fan at the right time to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jing Yuan couldn't help but glance at Fu Xuan with a meaningful expression.

Fu Xuan said angrily, "You evil disciple, when did I ever say such shameless words?!"

"Huh... General, don't listen to this evil disciple's nonsense..."

"But General, my disciples are better than the ones you teach."

Jing Yuan laughed and said, "Oh? What do you mean, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Xuan automatically ignored Yan Qing's angry glare and asked expressionlessly, "When will the general abdicate and let someone else take over?"

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Well, Fu Qing is right. I will consider this issue carefully."

Fu Xuan was slightly dissatisfied: "General, this is the one hundred and twenty-third time you have agreed to recommend me to take over as general."

Jing Yuan yawned, with a hint of sleepiness in his eyes: "Yeah."

Jing Yuan naturally understood Fu Xuan's little thoughts.

In terms of both emotion and logic, Fu Xuan is the most suitable person to take over the position of general.

But the time is not right now, so she can only wait a little longer.

Fu Xuan asked, "So according to what the general said, when can I take over as general?"

Jingyuan said drowsily: “Yeah.”

Fu Xuan: "..."

Jing Yuan: “Zzzzzzz”

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

Tingyun gently pulled the corner of Su Jinyan's clothes and whispered in his ear: "My benefactor, how about we run away first?"

Su Jinyan shook his head slightly. He came to Gongzaosi to solve Tingyun’s safety problem.

How can I leave so easily when my goal hasn't been achieved yet?

The reason why he proposed to compete with Yan Qing was to get in touch with General Jingyuan and establish a good relationship with him.

It just so happens that Jing Yuan is here now, so it would be unreasonable not to ask him for money.

After making up his mind, Su Jinyan smiled kindly: "I wonder if the general is free?"

"I recently found a blueprint of an exquisite machine, but I don't understand the principle behind it. Can you please help me solve this puzzle?"

Jing Yuan shook his head: "Mechanical drawings? You have the wrong person. I don't understand mechanics."

"If you want to talk about experts in this field, you should look for people from the Engineering Department."

Upon hearing this, Master Gongshu came forward with interest.

"What mechanical drawings? Why don't you let me take a look?"

Su Jinyan carefully took out the blueprint and said:

"It's okay to look at it, but I hope Master Gongshu can promise me not to leak the blueprints."

Master Gongshu blew his beard and glared: "You young man, you are just telling jokes."

"I have been immersed in this art for many years. Whoever sees me should not respectfully call me 'Master Gongshu'?"

"I have professional ethics, how can I covet your blueprints? Humph!"

But even so, seeing Su Jinyan's cautious attitude, Master Gongshu was also aroused by him.
