When I was supposed to be slaying the dragon, I accidentally started cultivating immortality

"Ah...ah sneeze!"

Zhao Menghua, who was sitting on the sofa, yawned suddenly.

"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Next to Zhao Menghua, a middle-aged man wearing a brown shirt and holding a soft Chinese cigarette between his fingertips glanced at him and asked.

"It's okay, Dad," Zhao Menghua shook his head, "I just suddenly wanted to sneeze."

"That's fine. The weather is getting colder recently. Please keep warm."

Zhao Shucheng reminded his son.

"Don't worry, Dad, I can still catch myself a cold," Zhao Menghua said with a smile, "Besides, catching a cold is not necessarily a bad thing. I don't know how many girls in our class or even our grade will care about me by then!"

"The most important thing for you now is your grades and resume accumulation. Next year you have to at least get me into a dual-majoring school in China. Tsinghua University and Peking University are better. It would be best if you can get an offer from Oxford University or MIT." .”

Zhao Shucheng warned his son: "You are still young now. You will have plenty of time to play after you go to college or graduate from college. No matter which girl you fall in love with, please bear with me now."

"Don't, Dad," Zhao Menghua said with a sad face, "You can pack several mahjong tables out there by yourself, but then it turns out that your own son is not allowed to have a girlfriend if he wants to?"

"How do you think your father and I came here when we were in high school? I never played in high school. I only started playing in college. I said, after you go to college or graduate from college, you can play whatever you want. I'll arrange for you to join our company for training, and you'll be on two football teams. As long as no one knows about it, I will never stop you!"

"Forget it," Zhao Menghua waved his hand, "I'm different from you people. I don't like this kind of simple money transaction. It's boring. If you want to talk about it, I'll talk seriously. It's too tasteless to throw money at it. I want to It’s about talking about relationships! If you don’t have feelings, what’s the point of talking about money?”

"Who will talk to you if you don't have money!" Zhao Shucheng was disdainful, but he was too lazy to say anything, "Anyway, please remember to hold back before graduation!"

"No, please give me some grace. How about one month before graduation?" Zhao Menghua bargained. "It's not like you haven't seen how beautiful the girls in our class are. I have to pick one before graduation, right? Otherwise, it would be three years in high school. In the end, the peaches were picked by others, do you think I can be willing to do so?"

"It's not like you haven't seen those girls before. They must have good looks and temperament," Zhao Menghua counted on his fingers, "Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and that Su Xiaoqiang. I think Chen Wenwen is pretty good..."

"Stop! I don't care about the first two. You like to have fun, but you have to remember one thing." Zhao Shucheng's thick eyebrows frowned, his expression was so serious that it seemed like a threat, "That Su Xiaoqiang, unless you have already done it An Anxin will spend the rest of his life with her, and he will never flirt with women, otherwise he will never touch her, you know!"

"I know, I'll give you an example. I will definitely not touch Su Xiaoqiang." Zhao Menghua nodded helplessly, "How many times have you told me that we can't afford to offend Su Xiaoqiang's family, we can't afford to offend, we can't afford to offend. ...My ears are almost getting calluses! Don’t worry, I will definitely not provoke Su Xiaoqiang. If I get together with someone like her, I will be terrified if she cheats! If I get married to her, then I might as well find a rooftop and jump off. .”

"Anyway, just remember it for me. The business of Su Xiaoqiang's family has far exceeded the scope of our city. It is indeed beyond my comparison," Zhao Shucheng warned. "Except for Su Tiancheng, among my colleagues in this city, He and Lu Tianming, I’m not afraid of anyone, don’t just pick the two of them for me to mess with!”

"I know, I know, you've said it several times, we don't have the ability to settle things with others. If I really mess up Su Tiancheng's precious daughter and abandon it, then only their family will be able to settle our family..."

"Don't turn a deaf ear to what I say!" Zhao Shucheng warned repeatedly, "Do you know how many years Su Tiancheng's parents have been professors at Fudan? The contacts accumulated by the two Fudan professors over the decades have touched their bottom line. Who knows? Who will they ask to take revenge on us? Su Tiancheng’s father is dead, but as long as his mother is still alive, these ties cannot be broken!"

"I know, I know, but considering the time, the old thing doesn't have a few more years to live, right?" Zhao Menghua didn't care, "Once she dies, those friendships have nothing to do with Su Tiancheng, right?"

"Then you can't touch Su Xiaoqiang! Even if you take away those connections, Su Tiancheng alone is enough for your father and me to drink a pot!" Zhao Shucheng said, "Besides, don't forget about Su Xiaoqiang's mother, regardless of the power of her family. Portugal, even if we do this, we can’t afford to offend her!”

"Why is her family all in the background?"

Zhao Menghua's eyes widened.

"Don't ask, I don't know much," Zhao Shucheng said, "All you need to know is that Su Xiaoqiang's 'mother's family' is considered a powerful class in Portugal, so you must not mess with her!"

"I know, you know, aren't you bothered by your own words? I'm not stupid. I haven't caused any trouble for you since I was a child. Can't you give me more trust?"

Zhao Menghua was a little impatient.

"In short, unless you have decided to tie yourself to Su Xiaoqiang for the rest of your life, you must not provoke her..."

…

Chu Zihang opened the door and walked into the bedroom, holding a huge white plastic bag in his hand.

He glanced at the bedside table and desk in the bedroom, then looked down at the bag in his hand, and simply put the bag on the floor.

Chu Zihang squatted down and opened the plastic bag. Inside was a paper box with PS3 printed on it, as well as more than a dozen disc packages of different types of games.

Taking out a packaging box with "Devil May Cry" printed on it from the bag, Chu Zihang thought to himself: "The Devil May Cry that Lu Mingfei mentioned...should be this one?"

After unpacking the PS3 and Devil May Cry, Chu Zihang neatly placed the other disc packages, then went downstairs to the living room and connected the PS3 to the TV in the living room according to the instructions.

Watching the TV light up, Chu Zihang awkwardly picked up the handle...

…

"Hey, Lu Mingfei, do you have time to come over here? I can see you if I need something?"

Su Xiaoqiang's clear voice reached Lu Mingfei's ears through the phone receiver.

"You have something to ask me about?" Lu Mingfei was curious, "What's the matter?"

"Good thing!"

Su Xiaoqiang said.

"What good thing? Did you agree to keep me?"

Lu Mingfei smiled.

"Don't be poor, it's business," Su Xiaoqiang said in a serious tone, "Let me ask first, do you still remember? During the holiday, I asked Uncle Yang to help you cover for your absence at night. He contacted a training staff of my father. mechanism?"

"I remember," Lu Mingfei said, "What a coincidence, I participated in the mathematics competition held by that training class two days ago and won the first place. I don't know when the bonus will be given to me..."

"It's really you!"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Mingfei always felt that Su Xiaoqiang's tone was a bit gritty.

"What's wrong? What do you mean it's really me..."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head in confusion.

"Huh..." Su Xiaoqiang took a deep breath over the phone and explained, "Because that training institution used my face to cover you up and even made false records, so in order to implement the 'clear distinction between rewards and punishments', my dad A sum of funds was allocated to that training institution..."

"Wait a minute!" An idea flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind, and he suddenly figured something out. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "Then that training institution suddenly had an extra amount of liquidity, and they used the funds to set up a city mathematics course. Competition, you want to promote it among students and parents, and at the same time, in order to attract people to participate, the prize money is also set to be particularly generous? "

"Huh? How do you know?"

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned

"A guess, or a simple little inference will do," Lu Mingfei complained, "Speaking of which, is the competition among tutoring and training institutions in our city already so fierce? It's just a competition promotion, but it's still here Inviting reporters outside? Are you going to make the news?"

"Inviting reporters?" Su Xiaoqiang was stunned, and then there were a few unclear conversations on the other end of the phone, and then Su Xiaoqiang said, "I asked the person in charge, and he said that no reporters were invited. When it comes to the video, it's all their own. It was taken inside the examination room. Publicity like this can only be done in the circle of parents. Spending money on the news is a bit of a loss."

"Is that so?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled, "What do those people outside carrying long guns and short cannons do? I think the cameras and video cameras they hold are not cheap."

"I don't know, are you just joining in the fun?"

Su Xiaoqiang said indifferently.

"There are so many rich and bored idle people."

Lu Mingfei complained.

"Don't keep interrupting! I almost forgot to talk about the business!" Su Xiaoqiang got back to the topic, "I accidentally saw your competition video and told the person in charge that I knew you. The person in charge asked me to ask you, would you like to Don’t you want to be their spokesperson?”

"Me? Spokesperson?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, "Are you kidding me? What can I represent?"

"You represent the effectiveness of their cram school," Su Xiaoqiang said matter-of-factly, "You, a freshman in high school, beat Chu Zihang to win the math competition after one summer vacation. Is there any greater progress in the world than this? "

"Why do I feel like I'm being insulted? How do they know I'm the one behind the wheel?"

"Hehe, of course I told them!" Su Xiaoqiang smiled, "I'm also trying to attract business for you."

"Thank you!" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "Don't you think the publicity effect is a bit too exaggerated, or a bit too false? A junior high school student from Shilan High School, in a certain training class After tutoring for a whole summer, and then defeating Shilan High School’s only male idol in the math competition... You don’t even dare to write such nonsense in a novel, right?”

"What does it matter? Endorsements and advertising are just exaggerations."

"That's what I said, but the problem is that the math competition that Crane Tail took part in after tutoring was held by a cram school. Don't you think this has 'secret operation' or 'there is a shady thing' written on his face? Which is normal? Will people believe it?”

"As long as you have real talent and practical knowledge, you will have many opportunities to prove yourself in the future. For example, if you participate in other competitions or something, are you still afraid of temporary doubts?" Su Xiaoqiang said, "Besides, I have already asked, what will happen in this competition?" There is no sign of leaking the question at all, and even your collective thinking is obviously different from the reference answer."

"Aren't you afraid that I cheated in some special way for the sake of the 30,000 yuan bonus for first place? If my true colors are exposed by then, my brand will be ruined."

Lu Ming is not the way.

"Then... let me ask you," Su Xiaoqiang's tone suddenly became serious. Even if she could only hear her voice, Lu Mingfei could imagine that the look on her beautiful face must be extremely serious, "Lu Mingfei, who are you?" Do you rely on cheating to win, or do you rely solely on your true strength?”

Perhaps influenced by Su Xiaoqiang's serious tone, Lu Mingfei replied seriously: "I can assure you that there was no cheating in the entire process of this game that I participated in. The victory was entirely based on my personal ability."

"Okay," Su Xiaoqiang's voice on the other side of the phone suddenly softened a lot, "I believe you."

"So...you really want me to speak for you?"

Lu Mingfei confirmed again.

"That's right," Su Xiaoqiang nodded, "If you think it's not worth it to betray your personality for a mere 50,000 yuan in endorsement fees, then you can completely refuse..."

"How to endorse? Do you want to shoot an advertisement? If you need to say any advertising words, I will memorize them first!"

Lu Mingfei is full of witty words,

…

In the office of a training institution, Su Xiaoqiang hung up the phone, bowed to the fat middle-aged man in front of him and thanked him: "Uncle Tang, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"You're welcome, Miss, you're welcome," the fat middle-aged man known as Uncle Tang quickly turned aside and waved his hands, "We are just helping out with a little help, and besides, the money is not paid by us, it is lived in our name. It’s just a hand, it’s all trivial, trivial.”

"If you are worried about Lu Mingfei's true level, then there is no need to actually use him for publicity. Just let him believe that he is getting paid for being your publicity example."

Su Xiaoqiang said thoughtfully.

"Um...Miss," the middle-aged man surnamed Tang asked tentatively, "If we believe Mr. Lu's true level, can we really use him for publicity?"

Su Xiaoqiang was a little surprised: "Are you really going to risk having your sign smashed?"

"Actually, it's not really an adventure," the middle-aged man surnamed Tang said with a smile, "To be honest with you, Miss, I actually had three of the questions in that math competition already thought of, and then I stuffed them in right before the competition. It’s completely original, it’s the first time it appears, and no one except myself knows the questions or answers in advance.”

"Oh, by the way, the person who asked the question knew it," the middle-aged man surnamed Tang added with a smile, "but he knew it twenty minutes before the official start of the game, and he was in my sight until the start of the game. Under such circumstances, Mr. Lu still answered the three questions perfectly, which is definitely the real material."

"So rather than saying that I trust Mr. Lu, it's better to say that I trust my own judgment."

"That's it..." Su Xiaoqiang suddenly understood and nodded, "Since you dare to take risks, you can publicize it."

"I understand, thank you, Miss." The middle-aged man surnamed Tang nodded and asked with some confusion, "I trust my own judgment, so I trust Mr. Lu. What about you, Miss?"

"Me?" Su Xiaoqiang was stunned, shook his head slightly, and chuckled, "I'm not as complicated as Uncle Tang, I just trust him very simply."

hiss……

The middle-aged man surnamed Tang took a deep breath and even didn't know what to say.

"By the way, Uncle Tang, are you sure that fifty thousand 'endorsement fees' is really enough?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, "Can't it be more?"

"No more, really no more," the middle-aged man surnamed Tang smiled bitterly, "50,000 is actually a bit too much..."

…

At Lu Mingfei's home, Lu Mingfei was lying on the sofa. With one hand, he caressed Xiaotian, who was sitting beside him. With the other hand, he rubbed his eyebrows. He sighed and spoke as if talking to himself.

"It's so easy for you to be tricked by me. As we were chatting, I changed the training institution to you. You really didn't feel anything was wrong or awkward at all..."

"Whose tutoring institution pays 50,000 yuan for recruiting outstanding tutors? Do you really want to be a celebrity and receive endorsements?" Lu Mingfei sighed, "Isn't this considered a guarantee?"

No longer thinking about other things, Lu Mingfei calmed down and began to analyze the properties of the medicine - he had already chosen a prescription to strengthen muscles and bones.

"When the medicinal properties analysis is completed and the materials are prepared, why not... prepare an extra copy?"

Lu Mingfei whispered to himself.

…

In the United States, Illinois, there is an inaccessible area in the outer suburbs of Chicago, but there are countless gorgeous and artistic buildings standing together in an orderly manner.

Among this group of buildings, in a certain room in a building, a video was being played. It was shot through a glass door and seemed like a video of a math quiz competition.

After a long time, a pair of old and steady hands turned off the video.

"This is...an unexpected surprise."

The old and deep magnetic voice said to himself.

…

Su Xiaoqiang's family listened expressionlessly to Uncle Li's last sentence. Su Tiancheng said "hmm" and narrowed his eyes hidden behind his glasses.

"This kid named Lu Mingfei is really interesting," Su Tiancheng said in an incomprehensible tone. He gently unscrewed the pen in his hand and said with a smile, "If I have a chance, I will definitely meet him in person."

Gu! Because there was a sudden power outage at the author's home, the electricity saved by mobile phones and computers is not much. Thank you, I will wait for a while and make up for it tomorrow!

It scared me to death. I almost ran out of battery to update...

There's nothing to do during the power outage. It's time to go to bed. Good night everyone!
