[Urban] Desire to Heal the World (Complete) - 12

Chapter 56 of the Learning and Practice section: Even Virgins Go Crazy.

Three days later, Xiao Chong was able to get out of bed and walk slowly! Seeing that his body was beginning to recover, Qi Feier and the others suggested that they go back!

"What? Leaving so soon?" Xiao Chong asked.

"Soon? You're really talking without thinking! We've been hiding here for over two months!" Susan said.

"He thinks everyone is as leisurely as him, wasting their days. My phone is practically ringing off the hook!" Sun Shanshan said.

"You're lying through your teeth. I haven't heard your phone ring for days!" Xiao Chong said.

"I put it on vibrate, it's almost like a massager! I just don't answer!" Sun Shanshan said, pulling out a phone hidden in her pocket

and showing it to everyone. Good heavens! There were over five hundred missed calls.

"A female massager?" Xiao Chong wondered.

"What am I supposed to do without you... Why are you asking so many questions!" Sun Shanshan realized her slip of the tongue as soon as it left her mouth and immediately became angry and embarrassed.

Qi Feier and Susan looked at Sun Shanshan in surprise, making her even more ashamed.

"We have to go back. We've wasted enough time here. Chongshi Pharmaceutical is going public soon, and we'll be incredibly busy

!" Qi Feier said.

"Going public? Are you kidding me?!" Xiao Chong said in disbelief.

"What's so funny about this? Do you think we're still standing on the street selling herbs?" Susan said with a laugh.

"Then what am I supposed to do without you?" Xiao Chong complained.

"Didn't you just take a concubine? The new one is even more favored. We old hags should go home early and not stop you from making it big!" Sun Shanshan said. Fortunately, Ye Yiyu wasn't there, otherwise, it was hard to say whether the two women would have gotten into a fight.

"That's right, stop pretending. You've been hoping we'd go home soon. You're so carefree and happy!" Susan said.

"I'm innocent! How could I bear to hurt you all! If you don't believe me, I can swear..." Xiao Chong said, raising his hand to the ceiling to swear.

"Alright, swearing is like eating vegetables! Stop pretending!" Sun Shanshan said.

"That's right, sisters, do you remember? That day, as soon as he woke up, we went outside, and he was already having a passionate encounter with that girl!" Su Shan felt jealous when she remembered Ye Yiyu's scream that day.

"I..." Xiao Chong was now beyond redemption, even with Libai (domestic) dish soap!

"Let's go, let's ignore him. Let him be a womanizer!" Sun Shanshan pushed the women.

"Yeah, anyway, he's too strong for us to handle, let that girl suffer!" Su Shanshan had a gloating expression.

"Son, bye-bye with Dad!" Qi Feier said, picking up Xiao Xiaochong's hand and waving it symbolically before walking out with the two women.

Ye Yiyu received a call from Qi Feier asking her to meet at room number 1.

She didn't know why Qi Feier wanted to meet her, but judging from her tone, it seemed like something important. She didn't dare to delay and rushed to the Shishen Hotel!

When Ye Yiyu entered the room, she saw the three women sitting upright, waiting for her. Dragon Gate Banquet? Her first thought was,

"Hey, I said, don't be so formal, okay? You'll scare people!" Qi Feier said.

"Ugh, I only did this because you guys are so formal!" Sun Shanshan said, letting out a sigh of relief and lazily lying on the bed. Her pose was extremely alluring.

"Ah! I can't take it anymore, I want it, I want it! I want to rape you!" Susan couldn't help but press down on Sun Shanshan when she saw her charming appearance.

"Come on!~~~ Baby, how can you do this without a penis?!" The two women laughed and played around.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, let's talk about serious matters!" Qi Feier said.

After Sun Shanshan and the other girl's antics, Ye Yiyu was no longer so reserved, sitting gently beside them like a submissive wife awaiting her fate.

"Yiyu, are you really sure you want to be with the young master and become sisters with us?" Qi Feier asked.

"It's already come to this, there's no other way! I'm already under his spell, and the older sisters are also very fond of me, I can only accept my fate!" Ye Yiyu said, a little aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do.

"Alright then, after we leave, the young master is in your care!" Qi Feier said.

"Sister, you must take good care of him, you absolutely can't let anything happen to him!" Susan's words were heavy, making Ye Yiyu feel a great responsibility. "

A mishap wouldn't be a big deal, he's tough! The most important thing is to be careful, don't let him become impotent, have premature ejaculation, or become frigid! Otherwise, the older sisters won't have any hope for the rest of their lives!" Sun Shanshan's words made the other women both laugh and cry.

"Don't take it seriously, little sister. I love to joke, but there is a question that concerns you!" Susan said, remembering something.

"What question?" Ye Yiyu asked.

"What else could it be! Don't you know? Your man is deadly in bed!" Sun Shanshan felt a chill run down her spine at the thought.

"Ah~~~ I didn't know!" Ye Yiyu blushed instantly upon hearing this!

"Really? Don't pretend! I already know!" Sun Shanshan said, as if to say, "If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it!"

"Really, no, there wasn't... I didn't have time!!!" Ye Yiyu felt wronged. It was true, although she and Xiao Chong had been intimate, they had never had a chance to get down to business.

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem to be lying! Could it be that I've misunderstood you?" Sun Shanshan said.

"That guy is so patient? That's rare!" Susan said incredulously.

"Then you should be prepared, little sister, he's very clingy!" Qi Feier warned her.

"Wrong, not clingy, he's deadly!" Sun Shanshan hit the nail on the head!

"Don't do that! It'll scare your little sister and leave her traumatized!" Susan said.

"I didn't say anything wrong! But the three of us sisters can teach you our secret techniques, I guarantee you can handle him." Sun Shanshan boasted without a hint of embarrassment, even though she herself had been thoroughly humiliated, she still had the nerve to teach others.

"Yeah, yeah! We've practiced!" If they've practiced and still ended up like this, their skills are clearly not that great!

"Our little sister might be going to the battlefield soon, I think we should hurry up and teach her!" Qi Feier said.

Little Chong, who was playing by himself, didn't know what the adults were talking about, but when he heard the word "battlefield," he immediately thought of his father's heroic image, and quickly picked up his toy gun and started firing wildly at the girls. If Little Chong were to become as lecherous as his father in the future, it would definitely be because of his upbringing!

After Qi Feier and the others left, Ye Yiyu became Little Chong's special caregiver. Her task was more demanding than that of a hostess. They both had to be there for him, eating, sleeping, drinking, chatting, even helping him pee!

Xiao Chong's body recovered day by day, and soon he was fully healed. But he didn't want to be discharged; he couldn't bear to part with Ye Yiyu's company. Ye Yiyu also couldn't bear to leave him, because although she was suffering, tired, and happy, she was also happy.

That day, after Xiao Chong and Ye Yiyu returned from their walk, Xiao Chong hung a sign he had prepared beforehand outside and immediately locked the door. The sign was in his own handwriting: "Don't disturb me, even if it's a dead body or a landslide!

" What was this guy up to? "Yiyu, are you tired?" Xiao Chong asked kindly.

"A little bit! I just walked too far!" Ye Yiyu said, sitting on the bed.

"Then lie down, I'll give you a massage!" Xiao Chong said even more kindly.

"Do you even know how?" Ye Yiyu asked doubtfully.

"This is an ancestral skill, your doubting me is an insult to our ancestors!" Xiao Chong pretended to be angry!

"Alright then, I'll give you a chance! Boss, do you know how tired I've been serving you these past few days! It's time for me to enjoy myself!" Ye Yiyu said, then lay down on the bed with her back to me. Back to me? Very wary? Very defensive?

"Alright! I'll serve you well right away!" Xiao Chong's smile was lewd, but Ye Yiyu couldn't see it!

Xiao Chong stretched out his hands and gently placed them on Ye Yiyu's shoulders, kneading them with varying pressure. Then he lightly patted along her spine, extending to her buttocks. His hands then returned to her shoulder blades, tapping, kneading, pushing, rotating, and squeezing. It seemed quite effective; Ye Yiyu's skin, muscles, and nerves received different stimulations, making her feel comfortable. She couldn't help but relax and fully enjoy it.

Xiao Chong's massage technique was indeed very good; Ye Yiyu was almost asleep from the massage. In a daze, she felt Xiao Chong turn her over. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she felt Xiao Chong place his hand on her shoulder. So she relaxed her body again and let Xiao Chong do as he pleased. His technique was indeed superb; he knew where to be gentle and where to be firm, and every tickle was aimed at the itchy spot.

When Ye Yiyu felt a certain part of her body itchy and intensely stimulated, she couldn't help but open her eyes. What she saw shocked her greatly, because the incredibly skilled Xiao Chong had stripped her naked without her noticing or reacting at all, and now he was teasing her pink nipples with his mouth.

"Oh my god, what are you doing?" Ye Yiyu exclaimed, quickly trying to cover her private parts with her hands, but she was already completely naked, and covering her upper body couldn't cover her lower body.

"Shh, you've suffered these days, let me serve you well!" Xiao Chong said, gently placing his finger on her lips.

"..." Ye Yiyu was about to refuse, but when she saw the deep affection in Xiao Chong's eyes, she slowly relaxed her body. However, at a loss, she could only close her eyes.

Xiao Chong's kisses continued to entwine around her, gently sliding down every inch of her skin. Having never experienced love, she couldn't help but tremble all over, clenching her teeth. What was this feeling? She couldn't explain it clearly; it felt both uncomfortable and pleasurable, wanting to stop yet unwilling to let go. The fluid flowing from her lower body due to the heat made her extremely embarrassed, as she felt the sheets starting to get wet. She wanted to control it, but was powerless and couldn't!

Xiao Chong continued kissing her, not missing a single part of her body. Her body exuded an incredibly alluring virgin scent, an scent he couldn't resist. Her body's reaction made his kisses even more fervent. She looked... His gaze softened, becoming gentle and romantic.

When he gently parted her legs and placed his hand on her most intimate and sacred place, she couldn't help but shyly embrace his neck, offering him a kiss to mask her nervousness. Xiao Chong's kisses were pleasurable, but his fingers gave her an uncontrollable thrill and discomfort. Yet, she preferred this feeling, a feeling of flying.

He gently covered her lips with his hand, lightly tracing its path; she felt a ticklish sensation and couldn't resist parting her lips slightly to take his hand into her mouth, sucking passionately.

Just as Xiao Chong undressed and came beneath her, about to make a move, she sat up, pushed him onto the bed, and straddled him, pressing her body against his. Her two warm, soft breasts pressed against his... Her entire body rubbed against his, and her slender waist swayed like a snake.

Xiao Chong had never experienced such a sensation before. Her soft, full breasts, her firm yet tender nipples, the constant waves of pleasure made his blood boil. He wanted to pin her down; he wanted her, he wanted her madly. But she wouldn't let him get up. Instead, she parted her lips slightly, repaying him with even greater tenderness than Xiao Chong had shown her. When she reached his most sensitive spot, she didn't immediately embrace it. Instead, she licked, circled, and coiled at the tip, then followed his straight line downwards and downwards until the very tip. Before his pleasure had subsided, she had returned to that spot, swallowing it whole like a beautiful snake, penetrating it completely.

Xiao Chong couldn't take it anymore; his desire had never been so intense. He had never felt so excited before, and this was the first time he had ever experienced the skill of a woman, a virgin. He couldn't remain passive any longer; he wanted to resist, he wanted to conquer. But she wouldn't let him. Her hands pressed against his chest, while her mouth never stopped moving up and down

, waves of pleasure washing over him. The sensation of his manhood being enveloped in her mouth was so complex that he couldn't describe it, because as she swallowed him, she used her tongue to continuously entwine and rotate it, a moist and textured rotation! He was going crazy! Was this a popular AV actress or a virgin?

Ye Yiyu's mouth slowly went numb, but her penis remained incredibly hard. She slowly stood up, holding her penis, which was as red as if it had been scorched by fire, and gently, little by little, sat down.

A faint "plop!" was heard, barely audible, only felt by the man and woman involved.

"Ah~~~" A cry followed, a moan tinged with pain and pleasure.

Xiao Chong ejaculated quickly this time; under Ye Yiyu's intense onslaught, he couldn't hold out for long before collapsing. This woman's body seemed to possess a kind of suction, an extremely strong suction. Every time he advanced, retreating was difficult, and with each advance, he felt a warm, moist body squeezing, sucking, and seducing him, refusing to let him go. Was this the legendary divine acupoint?

Xiao Chong had been raped. Yes, he hadn't moved at all, and before he could even offer a resistance or struggle, he had uncontrollably erupted! He was ashamed, utterly ashamed. How could a man do this? As his virility returned, just as he was about to regain his dignity and press down on her...

"Brother, please don't today, okay? I think I'm hurt!" Ye Yiyu whispered in his ear as she hugged him.

Xiao Chong couldn't help but glance back, and what he saw startled him. Her flower was incredibly swollen and red, and a thin stream of blood was flowing from the broken part.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I thought you were really that strong! Are you out of your mind?" Xiao Chong said with heartache.

"I just wanted to make you happy, to make you comfortable, to make you happier than any other man!" Ye Yiyu said, ignoring her own pain, and kissed Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong's lips touched hers briefly, and he couldn't help but pull away, saying, "My silly girl, how can I ever repay the love you've given me!"

"Treat me well, don't let me down!" Ye Yiyu said with deep affection.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong struggled to leave her embrace, pulled a blanket over her, quickly dressed, and went out. Soon, he returned pushing a cart of medical supplies and closed the door behind him.

For the first time without gloves, Xiao Chong used tweezers to pick up sterile gauze and gently inserted it into her still-bleeding vagina. He stopped when the bleeding stopped, then took a damp, sterile towel and applied it to the swollen area.

"Thank you!" Ye Yiyu said gently.

"Don't mention it! It's what I should do!" Xiao Chong replied with a silly grin!

These two? Unbelievable, they've already slept together and they're still so polite! But sometimes, being overly respectful doesn't necessarily make a couple strangers; on the contrary, it can bring them closer.

Ye Yiyu stayed in bed for two days, and within a day, their roles were reversed, with Xiao Chong becoming a full-time, 24/7 caregiver. Ye Yiyu, hurt by love, felt perfectly at ease lying in bed enjoying her personal care, satisfied and happy! But such

a carefree and extravagant life couldn't last forever. Even amidst the passion, Xiao Chong didn't forget he was a special forces soldier. After Ye Yiyu recovered, he returned to his unit.

In Chapter 57 of the Learning and Conduct section, retired

Yuan Jun was overjoyed to see Xiao Chong return, saying he had finally waited for him to come back for a celebration. Xiao Chong was now a major contributor, not only him, but also the seven people who participated in the competition with him; they were all awarded second-class merit.

"Boss, you're finally back!" Zhu Lide had been eagerly awaiting his return!

"We missed you so much! We were listless during training, and Yuan Datou scolded us so badly!" Chen Shisan said.

"Boss doesn't have time for us! He has a girl at the hospital!" Zhao Xiaogang said.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I was the first to die that day, I didn't help at all!" Huang Zhenjun, who was the first to "sacrifice," said.

"Don't bring it up again, Boss isn't that petty!" Zhang Zhijie said.

"Junior brother, it's time for your senior brother to teach you the principles of life. A person cannot be addicted to women, and if you are going to be addicted, you must be addicted to countless women!" Shuangxi said.

"Brothers, do you all want me back?" Xiao Chong asked knowingly, obviously to pave the way for what he was about to say.

"Yes!" the brothers answered in unison.

"What if I leave?" Xiao Chong asked again.

"No!" the brothers answered in unison again.

"But I really have to leave!" Xiao Chong said in a deep voice.

"Why?" the brothers asked again.

"Let me ask you first, what is the ultimate goal of being a special forces soldier?" Xiao Chong asked.

"The Hero's Cup!" everyone said in unison.

"Now that we've won the Hero's Cup, is there any hope left in the special forces?" Xiao Chong asked again.

"No!" everyone asked in unison again.

"Then I'm leaving, are you willing to come with me or stay?" Xiao Chong asked loudly, almost shouting!

"Go!" everyone shouted back!

Yuan Jun could no longer control himself at this point, and was about to raise his fist to punch Xiao Chong, but Xiao Chong's brothers quickly stepped in front of him, their meaning clear: If you want to hit him, I'll hit you first!

“***, if you want to leave, just leave! Why did you have to incite my soldiers to go with you!” Yuan Jun said, on the verge of tears .

“…” No one spoke. Everyone had already gotten used to this freak, and it was indeed a little hard to bear seeing him leave so easily.

“Can’t we discuss this further?” Yuan Jun’s tone softened.

“…”

The silence was tantamount to acquiescence! “Fine, you’re forcing me to use my ultimate move! Zhao Xiaogang!” Yuan Jun shouted in a deep voice!

“Present!” Zhao Xiaogang quickly stood at attention, his body ramrod straight, like a flagpole.

“Step forward!” Yuan Jun shouted again, and Zhao Xiaogang stepped out of the ranks

. “I’ve decided to improve your meals from now on. If the cooks don’t give you extra pay, I’ll use my salary! Every meal will have pork, beef, chicken, duck, fish… I’ll give you the best!” Yuan Jun said.

“Zhu Lide!” Yuan Jun shouted again before Zhao Xiaogang could react!

“Present!”

“Step forward!”

"I'll give you my high-end stereo system, and I'll even allow you to drink. XO, Martell Gold, Remy Martin, Napoleon, Chivas Regal, Heineken! I can buy you anything you want, and definitely not from Carrefour!" Yuan Jun said.

"Huang Zhenjun!" Yuan Jun called again!

"Present!" "

From now on, I'll give you two days off every week of training, so you can sleep. I'll give you the best bed, the best blankets, and even an air conditioner in your room!" Yuan Jun's offers were very generous.

"Chen Shisan!"

"Present!"

"Step forward!"

"I'll install a computer in your room, with a quad-core Intel Core QX6700 Extreme Edition processor, 8MB high-speed L2 cache, genuine Windows XP Media Centered Edition operating system, NVIDIA 8800 GTX 768MB/384bit DX10 integrated graphics, 2GB BD-LI memory, a 500GB 7200RPM hard drive with S-SATA interface, dual DVD burners, integrated 5.1 sound card, integrated 1000Mbps network card, Logitech Swift keyboard (Naruto edition), Logitech MX510 mouse (Naruto edition), 19-inch LCD monitor, and gigabit-speed internet!" Yuan Jun seems to have gone all out; this computer couldn't be bought for less than tens of thousands of yuan, and with gigabit internet, the monthly internet fee will be at least five thousand yuan!

"Zhang Zhijie!"

"Present!"

"Proceed!"

"I'll give you all my collection of photo albums and AV DVDs! Not only do I have what you want—Ozawa Madoka, Izayoi Shizuka, Mutou Ran, Saki Yusei, Konno Riri, Aikawa Anriki, and many more famous AV actresses!" It seems Yuan Jun is willing to go bankrupt!

"Hua Di!"

"Hua Di!"

"..." The brothers really didn't know what to do. Hua Di had been gone for almost a year. Had they driven Yuan Jun crazy?

"Oh, it seems he's gone. Look at my memory, Ouyang Chong!" Yuan Jun said, then shouted!

"No need to shout so loudly, I'm not deaf, just say what you want!" Only Xiao Chong would dare to say something like that.

"I can give you leave, you can come back whenever you want!" It seems Yuan Jun is going all out!

"..." The brothers didn't say anything. The conditions Yuan Jun offered were almost astronomical in the army!

"What's up? Say something!" Yuan Jun was almost crying! They had made great contributions, and if they wanted to retire, he had no reason to stop them!

"We want to retire!" the brothers said in unison.

"Damn it!" Yuan Jun couldn't help but curse, but his words were powerless!

That night, the victory celebration turned into a farewell party.

The soldiers went crazy all night long. The tough, fierce soldier had become a legendary figure in the eyes of the special forces, like a god worshipped by a street writer.

On the third day, Xiao Chong and the others finally received their discharge certificates, food rations, and household registration transfer certificates. They had no interest in the jobs that the retirement office had arranged for them, so as soon as the formalities were completed, they packed up and followed Xiao Chong to explore the world.

Xiao Chong and the others hadn't gone far from the camp gate when an officer caught up with them, panting.

"Hello, hello, I'm from the retirement office. I'd like to discuss something with you!" the officer said.

"Huh? That's strange. Aren't you people from the retirement office supposed to be pretty arrogant? You never take retired veterans seriously! What do you want to discuss with us?" Zhang Zhijie had already heard about the incredibly arrogant behavior of the retirement office, so after hearing his introduction, he immediately launched a verbal attack.

"Damn it, didn't your veterans' office think we were a hassle? Now that we're not bothering you, what else do you want to discuss with us?" Zhao Xiaogang said.

"Yeah, get out of the way, don't block our way!" Zhu Lide also started to act arrogantly after leaving the camp, mainly because he had been bullied by Yuan Datou for too long.

"Do you want us to beat you up? I've been wanting to get back at your veterans' office for a long time!" Huang Zhenjun said, raising his fist, ready to fight!

The officer from the veterans' office turned pale with fright at the sight. He had heard that those special forces soldiers were incredibly brutal, but today he finally witnessed it firsthand. "No, no! Brothers, I really have something to discuss with you!"

"Brothers, don't attack yet, let's see what he has to say!" Xiao Chong stopped several brothers who were about to beat the guy up to vent their anger for the veterans.

"It's like this, as soon as the news of your retirement spread, our veterans' office received many calls. They all want you to work for their agencies, including the Public Security Bureau, the court, the procuratorate, the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau..." The officer rattled off the names of numerous agencies.

"Damn it, I have no interest!" Zhao Xiaogang interrupted him impatiently. The other brothers also expressed their disinterest. These guys were incredibly arrogant; these were agencies that veterans would kill to get into.

"This, this..." The officer had been in charge of the veterans' office for nearly twenty years, and this was the first time he had encountered such ungrateful soldiers.

"Wait a minute, let's discuss this!" Xiao Chong said, gesturing for his brothers to go aside and discuss it.

The officer was left behind.

"Boss, what's there to discuss?" Zhao Xiaogang asked.

"Yeah! Getting into the headquarters means having to watch people's faces, it's so annoying!" Zhu Lide said.

"The salaries in the headquarters aren't high either!" Huang Zhenjun said.

"If we're going to these places, we might as well stay in the D Group Army!" Chen Shisan said.

"No, brothers, if we want to do something big, we need an identity to cover it up. Otherwise, it'll be hard to achieve anything significant! And the identities we can find are often not respectable. Now they've delivered themselves to our doorstep, this is the best opportunity!" Xiao Chong explained carefully.

"Boss, just how big is this 'big thing' you're talking about?" Zhu Lide asked.

"Very big, bigger than we can even imagine! Hehe!" Zhang Zhijie said with a laugh.

"Then what else do we need to think about? We'll just do whatever the boss says!" Chen Shisan said.

"..."

The officer waited there, not daring to leave. These soldiers were highly sought-after by their superiors and subordinates; if he couldn't arrange things properly, he feared he'd be in deep trouble. Having never been slighted before, he didn't dare breathe too loudly in front of them, afraid of offending them.

"Hey, I'm asking you, don't we have autonomy over our jobs?" Zhao Xiaogang asked.

"Yes!" the officer replied.

"Then can we go to whichever province we want?" Zhu Lide asked.

"Yes!" the officer said. They were already heroes known throughout China; every province would be vying for them.

"Then can we choose whatever job we want?" Huang Zhenjun asked.

"Yes!" The officer was sweating slightly; their excellence naturally made them sought after by every unit.

"What if I want to go to the veterans' affairs office?" Zhang Zhijie asked calmly.

"Ahhhhhh!" The officer, sweating profusely, couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"Hahahaha~~~~~" The brothers couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight! At

the Veterans Affairs Office,

Xiao Chong was seeing each brother off.

The office had never been so lively before; the units Xiao Chong and his brothers had chosen had personally come to pick them up—this was unprecedented.

Zhu Lide chose the Public Security Bureau of Jiangsu Province. Huang Zhenjun chose the Procuratorate of Liaoning Province, Chen Shisan went to the Discipline Inspection Commission of Zhejiang Province, and Zhao Xiaofeng went to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Hebei Province. Zhang Zhijie chose the Food and Drug Administration of Guangdong Province, Shuangxi went to the Health Department of Guangdong Province, and Xiao Chong? Nobody knew what he had chosen!

Zhu Lide and the others left, and the car that was supposed to pick up Shuangxi and Zhang Zhijie arrived, but the two didn't get in.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Xiao Chong asked, puzzled.

"What about you?" Shuangxi and Zhang Zhijie asked simultaneously.

"My car hasn't come yet! You guys go first!" Xiao Chong said.

"What unit did you choose?" the two asked again.

"This… Buddha said: It cannot be said, it cannot be said!" Xiao Chong said mysteriously.

"Is it the kind with exceptionally high salaries and benefits?" Zhang Zhijie asked longingly.

"Junior Brother has extremely high standards; you can tell just by looking at the women he chooses!" Shuangxi said, but then didn't leave.

"..." Xiao Chong was speechless. He had never chosen any women; women always chose him. The only one he ever chose almost lost his life to get her!

"Boss, we're worried about you not leaving! What if you abandon us and elope alone?" Zhang Zhijie said with concern.

"Junior Brother, it's time for your senior brother to teach you some manners. Eloping is wrong. If you really want to elope, you should take us with you!" Shuangxi said seriously. He and Zhang Zhijie seemed to have guessed Xiao Chong's thoughts. The two of them didn't care at all about the people waiting impatiently but not daring to urge them.

"Ugh, my car really hasn't arrived yet. I need to use the restroom!" Xiao Chong said, running towards the restroom.

"Trying to use the restroom as an excuse? No way!" Zhang Zhijie quickly followed and closed the door at the restroom entrance.

"Xiao Jie, come here! Come here quickly!" Shuangxi waved anxiously to him from the other side.

"What? He might escape!" Zhang Zhijie still stood at the toilet door, refusing to leave.

"Damn it, that's the women's toilet, this way. This way!" Shuangxi couldn't help but curse. Zhang Zhijie was shocked when he heard this and looked up, almost fainting to the ground. It turned out that there was a big "Women's" written on it. He quickly rushed to Shuangxi's side. This was no joke. If someone arrested him as a pervert, he wouldn't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tried.

Chapter 58 of the Learning and Conduct Chapter: I Want Revenge

Half an hour later, Xiao Chong slowly walked out and saw his two brothers standing at the door, watching him intently. He couldn't help but sigh deeply. These two guys really know how to hold back!

"Boss, are you alright?" Zhang Zhijie asked with concern.

"Junior brother, if you really can't take it, don't force yourself. I'll get you two laxatives!" Shuangxi also said with concern.

"Damn it!" Xiao Chong wanted to cry but had no tears. They thought he was constipated.

"Come on, come on, have you washed your hands?" Zhang Zhijie urged.

"Yes, the smell here is too pungent, if we stay any longer we might get methane poisoning!" Shuangxi and Zhang Zhijie flanked him on either side, truly a sight to behold, with the toilet behind them and the camp gate in front. What a unique scene!

The three waited at the veterans' office for a while, then the phone rang. It was for Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong picked up the phone and only said three sentences, three classic sentences.

"Huh????"

"Oh!!!!!!!"

"Let him in!"

After Xiao Chong said these three sentences, the three quickly heard the roar of a tractor's diesel engine.

A brand new tractor slowly drove up to Xiao Chong and the others. The driver didn't get out, but just looked at Xiao Chong and the other two, as if waiting for them to get on.

"Brothers, my car is here, I'm leaving now!" Xiao Chong said.

"It's here? Where?" Zhang Zhijie looked around, but didn't see any high-end vehicles.

"I didn't see any either!" Shuangxi asked, puzzled.

"Isn't this a car? Are you blind?!" Xiao Chong couldn't help but explode in anger. This was a brand new car; was it really that unacceptable to them?

"This?" Shuangxi and his companion pointed at the tractor, stunned.

"Don't be surprised, my job is very secretive. I don't want to reveal my identity or attract attention!" Xiao Chong, pressed for a moment, began to ramble. If he didn't want to reveal his identity, why drive such an extravagant farm vehicle into the army? Wouldn't that attract even more attention, like trying to hide something obvious? Xiao Chong immediately realized his mistake after saying this, jumped onto the tractor, and slowly drove away, not even glancing at Shuangxi and his companion. He couldn't possibly look at them.

"Shuangxi, what department does our boss go to? Why is it so mysterious and extravagant?" Zhang Zhijie asked.

"I don't know, but it seems like an extremely important and powerful department!" Shuangxi said.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhijie asked, puzzled.

"First, did you see that driver just now? His outfit—a tattered, patched white shirt, mud-stained green army pants that looked almost black, that half-buried bandana on his head, and that shiny black makeup on his face that looked like it was oozing oil—that would cost at least seven or eight thousand yuan, but that's not even the biggest expense!" Shuangxi meticulously explained.

"Seven or eight thousand for a simple prop? And that's not a big expense?" Zhang Zhijie asked in surprise.

"Yes, the biggest expense is that tractor. Did you see it? It's brand new, practically its first time in the field. How much does that cost? I saw someone buy one in the village before, a half-new one, for 10,180 yuan, and that was just the ordinary one! Just now, did you hear the engine sound? That's a high-horsepower one, brand new for 58,000 yuan! To make the character so lifelike, they went to such lengths. Don't you think that department is amazing!" Shuangxi's explanation was detailed and clear, but what was the real truth?

"Wow, I knew the unit the boss chose would be more desirable than ours! Shuangxi, what department is it? They just threw away such a huge sum! That's more than two years' worth of our military pay!" Zhang Zhijie asked.

"I think it's most likely... the Ministry of State Security!" Shuangxi concluded cautiously.

"..."

If Xiao Chong could hear this, what expression would his face have? Nobody knows, you can't guess! Because he hadn't chosen any department or unit, or rather, he looked down on any unit. He didn't want to live under anyone's thumb; he only trusted himself and acted according to his own will!

Just now, seeing Shuangxi and the other guy refusing to leave, he used the excuse of needing to pee to call for a car! The call from the veterans' office came from the guard at the camp gate.

"Hello, are you Comrade Ouyang Chong? There's a farmer brother outside the gate; he says he's here to pick you up!" the guard asked on the phone.

"Huh?" Xiao Chong asked. Actually, he was already prepared.

"He's driving a brand new tractor!" the guard reminded the veteran again.

"Oh!" Xiao Chong was very disappointed, extremely disappointed. At this moment, even a motorcycle seemed more respectable than a tractor.

"Should we let him in or not?" the guard asked.

"Let him in!" Xiao Chong said helplessly. Actually, what Xiao Chong really wanted to say was: let him go!

On the way,

"Master, can you drive faster?" Xiao Chong couldn't stand the tractor's speed, and even more so, he couldn't stand the embarrassment this tractor had caused in front of his brothers! But there was nothing he could do. He called 114, 12580, and even used his phone to search on Baidu. This vehicle was the highest-class vehicle available for rent in all the villages within a 50-kilometer radius.

"We can't go fast. This vehicle is new to the fields and hasn't been broken in yet. If we drive too fast, it won't have any power in the fields. I still need to plow Zhang Fugui's field after dropping you off!" the driver said.

"Master, this vehicle must have cost a lot of money, right?" Xiao Chong asked, looking at the brand-new tractor.

"Brother, to tell you the truth, this vehicle cost my whole family almost ten years' worth of savings! I've argued with your aunt countless times over this vehicle!" the driver complained.

"Hehe, it's alright, it'll get better slowly! Didn't your tractor give you a big boost today? The army has never driven a tractor in before, and the soldiers have probably never seen such a new and powerful tractor!" Xiao Chong praised him while subtly mocking himself.

"Hehe! That's right! My family is the only one in our village who can afford this kind of tractor! Brother, hold on tight!" The farmer-driver couldn't resist the praise, and once he got excited, the tractor's diesel engine suddenly roared up, filling the air with a loud "putt-putt-putt" sound. The tractor, puffing out white smoke, sped madly towards the county town. Xiao Chong had nowhere else to

go, so he had to go home. He had a wife and children at home. Although they didn't need him to support them, he subconsciously kept reminding himself that it had been two years since he'd sent a single penny home. If he didn't earn money to support his family, he would be a good-for-nothing. And then everyone would look down on him.

His grandparents, Shuangxi, Qi Feier, and Xiao Chong were all very happy to see him return. This man, who before enlisting had seemed like a child... The man, now a man of steel, has brought honor not only to them and the Ouyang family, but also to all 1.3 billion people in China. He is their pride.

Xiaosheng's mother, Xiaochong's grandmother, felt that Xiaochong had truly grown up, even more so than the unruly Xiaosheng. It seemed the task of bringing glory to the family could be entrusted to him with confidence. Therefore, when Xiaochong returned, the two elders decided to go back to Hekeng, not for any particular reason, but simply to offer incense before their ancestors and visit relatives and friends, to tell everyone they had such a successful grandson! This, it seemed, didn't need to be said; the whole world already knew!

Unable to persuade the two determined elders, Xiaochong had no choice but to personally drive them back to Hekeng with Xiaochong and Qi Feier, of course, at the lowest speed possible. Eighty kilometers on a provincial highway. Even so, it almost scared the two elders to death. Eighty kilometers on a provincial highway, how could it not be life-threatening?

Entering Hekeng territory, he saw a bright red banner at the village entrance, welcoming the national hero, the iron-willed fierce soldier Ouyang Chong, back to his hometown for a visit! Xiao Chong was a little dumbfounded. This kind of cliché was really too cliché, he didn't like it at all! But there was nothing he could do. Who told his uncle Zhang Weijie to like it!

On the bustling street, people lined up in two rows, holding flowers and balloons to welcome Xiao Chong, just like they had welcomed him when he was a young man, even more lively and grand.

Xiao Chong had never seen such a scene before. He didn't dare to roll down the window while holding the steering wheel. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His face changed from red to white, and he quickly became a chameleon! Such etiquette was really... This was getting a bit too much for him!

Xiao Chong returned to his ancestral home. Actually, the ancestral home had been demolished long ago, before his father went to America. His father rebuilt it on another piece of their own land in Hekeng, according to the original structure. The outside looked antique, but the inside was completely modern!

Under his grandfather's orders, Xiao Chong offered incense to his ancestors for the first time. His generation of the Ouyang family was the nineteenth generation of the "Tian" generation. But from his ancestors down, besides the fierce general Ouyang Zhentian who once single-handedly broke through the city gate, there was Xiao Chong's father, who brought the road to the village and brought about earth-shattering changes, and now Xiao Chong, who had won the Hero Cup.

That night, after attending various banquets, big and small, Xiao Chong returned to his ancestral home drunk, only to find Shen Yang, Zhang Weijie, and Qi Feier still sitting in the hall waiting for him.

"Uncle, Uncle, and my dear wife!" Xiao Chong was drunk, but his eyes weren't completely blurry.

"You're so drunk! I can tell you've had a lot to drink. That's just how you are; the more you drink, the sweeter your words become!" Qi Feier asked, pouting.

"Your alcohol tolerance is much better than your dad's. He falls asleep as soon as he drinks, and even if you carry him away, he won't know!" Shen Yang reminisced.

"Yeah! When he drinks, I'm always the one who suffers the most!" Zhang Weijie also fell into reminiscence.

"Why?" Xiao Chong and Qi Feier asked. At this moment, Shen Yang handed Xiao Chong a bowl of his homemade hangover tea!

"He would curse at me whenever he drank, and not only that, he would prick me with silver needles! Back then, your uncle's acupuncture skills weren't up to par yet, and every time your father pricked me, he couldn't help me. I would often stand there frozen all night!" Zhang Weijie felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

"How could he treat you like that?" Xiao Chong had drunk Shenyang's "relief tea" and was much more sober.

"Alas, the past is too painful to recall, too complicated to explain! I was much more arrogant than you when I was young, and if it weren't for your father, I probably wouldn't be where I am today!" Zhang Weijie really had to thank Xiao Sheng. If it weren't for Xiao Sheng constantly reminding him and tormenting him, how could he have become one of the world's most revered doctors!

"Oh, I see!" Xiao Chong looked at this uncle and recalled the times he almost attacked but then restrained himself, and he more or less figured it out!

"Xiao Chong, what are your plans after you retire?" Shenyang asked a crucial question.

"Yeah, why don't you come help us? Anyway, it was your dad who led us to establish the 'Quick Surgery Team'!" Zhang Weijie said.

"Hehe, your uncles are still young and strong. If I go to Hekeng People's Hospital, where will you two stand? You'll both have to retire early!" Xiao Chong said this without batting an eye!

"You—" Shen Yang and Zhang Weijie almost choked on their breath.

"Uncles, don't mind him. He's just trying to annoy you. Everyone knows he's thinking about revenge!" Qi Fei'er quickly came to the rescue of the two elders who were furious!

"You brat, if you had said that ten or eight years ago, I would have really fought you!" Zhang Weijie acted like a magnanimous adult.

"Revenge?" Shen Yang didn't expect Xiao Chong to be so vengeful. He originally thought that sending him to the army to toughen him up would wear away his hatred, but two years had passed and he still couldn't forget it.

"Uncle, you don't think I'm not strong enough now, do you?" Xiao Chong still acted nonchalantly, but he desperately wanted a positive answer from Shen Yang! The seeds of hatred had long been sown, and time hadn't extinguished them; instead, it had made them grow stronger! He dreamed of revenge; he had never suffered such injustice in his past, a man who had always acted with impunity.

"What's your strength now?" Zhang Weijie asked.

"Tell me what your strength is!" Shen Yang countered without answering.

Qi Fei'er spoke first: "I'll speak for him. Now his Longxing Society controls Yuancheng, Xincheng, Huicheng in Guangdong Province, Sucheng, Dongcheng, Beicheng, and Bencheng in Jiangxi Province. Oh, and the underground forces in Chinatown!"

"Wow, you've only been back for three years! And you've already made such a mess of things? Do you really want to become a gangster and turn yourself into a devil?" Zhang Weijie asked.

"Anything else?" Shen Yang asked.

"And six of my brothers who have entered the provincial discipline inspection commissions, procuratorates, anti-corruption bureaus, public security bureaus, and health systems!" Xiao Chong added.

"They seem powerful, but they're nothing special. How do you plan to take revenge?" Shen Yang asked.

"I'll crush Longji and wipe out the Yamada Group!" Xiao Chong gritted his teeth.

Shen Yang and Zhang Weijie couldn't help but burst into laughter; this was probably the funniest joke they'd heard in years.

"Is it funny?" Xiao Chong asked, his face ashen.

"With your meager strength, you think you can crush Longji? And wipe out the Yamada Group? Xiao Chong, it's not that your uncle looks down on you, but to put it bluntly, you're dreaming." Shen Yang's attack was merciless, sending Xiao Chong crashing down like a ton of bricks—without a parachute, of course.

"Nephew, if you simply want revenge on those who attacked you, or to kill the head of Longji, your uncle believes you have the ability. But if you want to bring down Longji, it seems you don't understand just how powerful your enemy really is?" Zhang Weijie asked.

"..." Xiao Chong didn't know. He had only heard them say that Longji was very powerful, but he had never had time to figure out exactly how powerful it was. "

Judging from

your expression, I know you don't know. Let me tell you!" Shen Yang paused, pulling out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase. It seemed he had done a lot of research. Longji is the world's third-largest multinational corporation, a leading economic force in Southeast Asia, and a privately held Sino-foreign joint venture. It owns two publicly listed companies on the Guangdong Stock Exchange (Longji Longyao Group Co., Ltd. and Longji Group Wujing Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) and 50 wholly-owned, holding, and shareholding companies. It has over 100,000 employees, a registered capital of 10.7 billion yuan, and total assets of 89.9 billion yuan. Longji Longyao Group integrates pharmaceuticals

, trade, and scientific research, with its main business covering antibiotics, chemical drug preparations, over-the-counter drugs and health foods, and traditional Chinese medicine. The company operates in seven major industrial sectors: pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, animal vaccines and veterinary drugs, and pharmaceutical distribution. It produces over 1000 varieties of products across seven major series, more than 20 dosage forms, including antibiotic raw materials and powder injections, traditional Chinese medicine preparations, Chinese herbal powder injections, and comprehensive formulations. All of Longji Group's production enterprises have passed GMP certification, and its major distribution enterprises have passed GSP certification. Some subsidiaries, such as Longji General Factory and Wujing Pharmaceutical, have passed ISO9001, ISO14001, and OHSAS18001 international management system certifications. Longji Group has established over 250 sales offices in more than 60 major cities across China and owns over 2000 retail chain pharmacies, forming a wide-coverage and highly functional marketing network. "

This is just the legitimate business; how much shady business is there? We can't even estimate. You think you can move this mountain with just this little bit of strength? Don't you think that's a bit overestimating yourself?" Shenyang asked, pointing to the thick stack of documents.

“Nephew Xiao Chong, your power isn’t actually that small. Have you forgotten you have your uncles, maternal uncles, and your Zhong family mother? Our combined strength, while not as great as Longji’s, is enough to put up a fight!” Zhang Weijie, seeing Xiao Chong’s face turn pale from Shenyang’s words, quickly tried to comfort him with some candy. In reality, they couldn’t possibly fight!

“You also have Chongshi Pharmaceuticals! And isn’t Sister Shan’s maternal family powerful? All of that should be enough! But behind them is the Yamada Group, their power is terrifying!” Qi Feier said with concern.

“…” Xiao Chong was internally conflicted; no one knew what he was thinking!

Seeing his silence, Shenyang and the others began discussing their battle plan! Because those who don’t express their opinions are often the ones who acquiesce!

“No! I don’t need your help!” Xiao Chong shouted!

“Are you crazy? Are you going to wake your son and grandparents?” Qi Feier scolded.

Xiao Chong was indeed a little afraid of this doting mother, and his momentum immediately subsided. “It’s my own business; I don’t need to involve you!”

“***, what are you saying? Aren’t we family? Do you still consider me your uncle?” Zhang Weijie asked.

“Your words really hurt!” Shen Yang said.

“Uncle, don’t be angry. It’s not worth getting angry over someone like him! But, honey, you can’t fight them without our help!” Qi Feier tried to mediate between the two sides.

“…” Xiao Chong fell silent again. Everyone knew he was using silence to resist their help.

Shen Yang and the others immediately began to try to persuade him with all their heart and soul, but Xiao Chong’s attitude was very firm! He was as stubborn as a member of the underground party captured by the Japanese, refusing to budge no matter what.

Everyone was speechless and had no way to persuade him. It was already dawn, and they had tried to persuade him all night without success. It seemed that Xiao Chong was indeed stubborn to the extreme!

“Alright, whatever you want, Shen Yang, go have breakfast! This kid is just like his father, a rock that’s fallen into a cesspool, smelly and hard!” Zhang Weijie said.

“Xiao Chong, if you really insist on going your own way, your uncle doesn’t want to say anything more! But if you really want to do this, you’ll have to keep a low profile and start learning to endure hardship and bide your time!” Shen Yang sighed.

“Ten years. If you can get revenge within ten years, then your uncle will respect you, just like he respects your father. But right now, your uncle looks down on you! Shen Yang, let’s go, Chuan Ji’s pig’s feet rice noodles should just be fresh out of the oven, now’s the perfect time!” Zhang Weijie finished speaking and dragged Shen Yang out the door without even looking at him.

“Honey, what your uncle and uncle said makes a lot of sense. If you really want to get revenge on your own, then you have to endure hardship and start a business!” Qi Feier gently advised.

“I don’t know where to start?” That was the first thing Xiao Chong said that night.

“Hua Di and the others’ business is shady. I think you should start from the righteous side, do business that can be done openly!” Qi Feier said.

"I don't want to get involved in the Longxing Society anymore. They've done a great job, even better than I imagined. I've already set the precedent for them; how high and how far they fly is up to fate! I need to go do my own thing!" Xiao Chong said, seemingly having made up his mind.

"Sigh, I didn't expect we'd have to part again so soon after we got together!" Qi Fei'er sighed.

"Fei'er, do you know where I want to go?" Xiao Chong asked doubtfully.

"You're already a piece of my heart, as important as my son, and I'm practically a mind reader. This analogy isn't great, but how could I not know what you're thinking? You want to go to Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong Province, or maybe Shenzhen. Right now, those are the two most economically developed and densely populated cities. If you don't go to those two places, where else can you make a name for yourself?" Qi Fei'er countered.

"Oh my god, Fei'er, you really are a mind reader!" Xiao Chong exclaimed excitedly.

"Are you going to reward me again? No, everyone's been up all night. I'll go steam some rice noodles for you! Let's eat and then go to sleep, okay?" Qi Fei'er said, then went into the kitchen without waiting for Xiao Chong's reply.

Xiao Chong's thoughts had been guessed again, but his face didn't even turn red; he'd certainly developed a thick skin.

"Uncle and Uncle are such idiots! Chuanji's rice noodles are nowhere near as good as Fei'er's!" Xiao Chong said, trying to make light of the situation.

Xiao Chong said goodbye to his grandparents, uncles, wife, and children, and arrived in Guangcheng alone.

This crowded metropolis made him feel a little panicked. Guangcheng Railway Station was packed with people; there wasn't even a place to stand. Did everyone in the world gather here to squeeze onto the train? Xiao Chong wondered, desperately trying to push his way out.

"Phew... Damn, thank goodness I was a special forces soldier, otherwise these 120-plus pounds would have been a death sentence!" Xiao Chong finally broke free of the encirclement and sat panting heavily in the green belt in front of Guangcheng Railway Station. This time, he was completely impressed by these migrant workers.

As Xiao Chong was slowly catching his breath, a beautiful young woman staggered out of the train door. She looked as if she had been drenched in water, even her bangs were wet and stuck to her face. But her alluring figure was even more curvaceous because of her soaked clothes, and her charming face was flushed, making people want to kiss her. A group of hooligans outside the station immediately started whistling at her partially obscured figure. The

beautiful young woman quickly reached the green belt. She must have been exhausted from the crowded conditions, because she plopped down not far from Xiao Chong and rummaged through her bags for tissues.

A tissue with the Piao Jie brand and a fresh scent was handed to her. She couldn't help but look up at the man in front of her, a man whose "kindness" she couldn't quite discern. He had a long scar on his face, stretching from the corner of his eye to almost his mouth, but it didn't make him look ugly at all; instead, it possessed an indescribable charm. Moreover, his expression was ambiguous, a half-smile, a half-wicked look, and his eyes seemed to see right into her soul. This gave her a feeling of unease.

Yes, this man was Xiao Chong. His virtue was that he couldn't bear to see women suffer, but his even greater virtue was that his eyes would light up like a wolf's when he saw a pretty girl.

"Thank you, you can use it yourself!" The pretty girl was very wary; perhaps she had already seen him.

"..." Xiao Chong didn't understand what the pretty girl meant. His sweat had dried completely, so he didn't need tissues, but when he looked down, he almost died of embarrassment. His drool had unknowingly dripped onto the ground, forming a small puddle!

Xiao Chong's skin was thick, unusually thick. To think he'd give up

after such a small setback would be a gross underestimation. Another unopened bottle of Nongfu Spring water was offered to the pretty girl; Xiao Chong wouldn't give up until he was completely defeated.

"Thank you. This water is a bit salty; I don't like it!" The pretty girl's words were polite yet firm, and still hurt Xiao Chong's feelings.

"..." Xiao Chong didn't speak, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't know what to say! After two unsuccessful attempts, even his best eloquence suddenly failed him!

Xiao Chong felt a little discouraged, but giving up so easily was absolutely impossible! He was pondering, trying to figure out how to strike up a conversation with the pretty girl again.

"Hey!" the pretty girl suddenly called out to him.

"Huh? Did you call me?" Xiao Chong was overjoyed, perhaps his handsomeness had already won her over.

"Yes! Who else would I call?" the pretty girl said.

"Hehe, that's true, beautiful lady, look how beautiful the moon is tonight!" Xiao Chong pointed at the scorching sun and rambled on. The girl's automatic flirting had made him lose control, making his face flush red as if he had a high fever, and that's why he started talking nonsense!

"What nonsense are you talking about, the moon! Someone stole your bag!" the pretty girl said irritably.

Xiao Chong looked to the side and sure enough, his bag was gone. The ones running away with his bag were the thugs who had been standing by the train station entrance.

"Damn it, you dare to take my bag? You're asking for trouble!" Xiao Chong said, not forgetting to wink at the pretty girl and say, "Don't panic, I'll be right back!" Then he took off chasing after the thugs.

"Who goes there!" The pretty girl was both amused and exasperated as she watched his retreating figure.

The thugs ran for their lives, with

Xiao Chong in hot pursuit.

They crossed the street, entered the national highway, and raced along it.

Seeing their frenzied running, onlookers thought they were having a marathon!

One busybody even followed the thugs, asking, "Hey, what are you running for? Are you carrying the Olympic torch?"

"Huff, huff, huff, what the hell? We're being robbed by that guy behind us!" one of the thugs said.

"Yeah, run, run! If he catches us, we're done for!" another thug said, sprinting a few steps and leaving the busybody behind.

The busybody, with the same tenacity as Xiao Chong, didn't give up his curiosity. When Xiao Chong caught up, he followed again, though struggling, still asking, "Brother, brother, what are you running for?"

"Those guys up ahead stole my bag!" Xiao Chong quickened his pace, leaving him behind.

The busybody was now confused. Who robbed whom? He wanted to catch up and see for himself, but these guys seemed to have superhuman speed. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep up with them and had to give up helplessly.

Xiao Chong wasn't worried at all. These hooligans dared to challenge him in a long-distance race; it was like showing off one's skills in front of an expert! A 10-kilometer cross-country run with a weight was his daily entertainment, so he wasn't in a hurry to overtake them. He just kept up with them at a steady pace, taking a few steps and shouting when they slowed down, like herding cattle.

The thugs had completely misjudged him this time. They hadn't expected their lecherous friend to be such a long-distance runner, leaving them breathless and exhausted. They ran until they reached a sewage canal, where the thugs could no longer continue and stopped, utterly exhausted.

"Huff, huff, huff, huff!" The thugs bent over, panting heavily.

"Run! Keep running! Why did you stop?" Xiao Chong strolled leisurely beside them, as if the past few kilometers were just a walk.

"Dude, huff, huff, it's just a bag, huff, huff, is it really that big of a deal?" one of the thugs said.

"Stop talking nonsense, give me the bag first, then let your grandpa figure out how to deal with you!" Xiao Chong sounded like he was joking, so the thugs didn't take him seriously.

"Fine, I give up, come and get it!" the thug said, waving the bag in his hand.

Without thinking, Xiao Chong lunged forward, instantly reaching him. The thug, surprised by Xiao Chong's speed, tossed the bag to another accomplice.

Xiao Chong had no choice but to chase after the bag, but the other accomplice did the same, tossing it to another friend. The bag spun around among the group, and Xiao Chong, like a monkey, spun around too.

"***! You're asking for death!" Xiao Chong, enraged, approached a thug who had just grabbed a bag. The thug quickly threw the bag away, assuming Xiao Chong would chase after it, a smug smile spreading across his face. But he was wrong. Xiao Chong didn't chase the bag; instead, he grabbed the thug, using his immense strength to lift him into the air before slamming him to the ground. The thug lay motionless, unconscious, before he could even struggle. Daring to provoke Xiao Chong, who was more terrifying than a devil, was truly courting death.

The thug's brothers, seeing their accomplice lying motionless on the ground, panicked. They had never encountered such a ferocious character. The thug with the bag was terrified and didn't know what to do. As soon as Xiao Chong reached him, he desperately tossed the bag to another man, clinging to a sliver of hope. But he was disappointed. Xiao Chong didn't spare him; he kicked him, sending him flying two meters. The thug landed on the ground, still struggling, but unable to utter a sound for a long time.

"No, no, don't come any closer!" The thug, having caught the bag, cried out in panic as Xiao Chong slowly approached, like a girl facing a pervert about to assault her.

Xiao Chong ignored his cries, quickly taking two steps to stand in front of him. The thug trembled with fear, his limbs going weak. The bag in his hand felt like a hot potato, and he tried to throw it, but in his panic and lack of strength, it lost its grip in the air and "plop!" fell into the sewage river that was being drained. The bag bobbed on the surface for several meters before suddenly disappearing without a trace!

"Ah!"

"Damn it!"

The scream came from Xiao Chong, whose bag contained all his cash and identification. The curses came from the other thugs, a near-desperate cry.

Xiao Chong was furious; the thugs' fate was tragic! Like a tragic novel, the ending always leaves the reader feeling utterly miserable, but that's just the author's way of making people cry. The tragedy unfolding before their eyes was truly unbearable to witness. The thugs were first injured, then forced to jump into the sewage river, groping for Xiao Chong's bag in waist-deep water, covered in sweat and stench…

Chapter Two: No Money, Still Have to Treat Others.

When Xiao Chong returned to the train station entrance, his face was filled with utter despair… He was bewildered. Qi Feier had repeatedly told him to take good care of his money and documents before he left home—not to throw them away, not to lose them, and certainly not to let anyone steal them. But he had carelessly stuffed them into his bag, declaring shamelessly, "Whoever dares to steal my things, I'll consider it lucky I don't!" Now, it seemed his luck had come true!

The pretty girl still hadn't left. When Xiao Chong saw her, his dazed eyes lit up, and he immediately started daydreaming. She was waiting for him; she was really waiting for him. Could it be that she really had her eye on him? Sigh, there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him to be so charming? Everyone wanted to give him a ride, and even a coffin would open its lid if it saw him!

"Where's your bag?" the pretty girl asked immediately when Xiao Chong returned.

"Ugh, don't even mention it! Those thugs threw it into the sewage canal and washed it away! What are you still doing here?" Xiao Chong asked.

"You have the nerve to say that? Didn't you tell me to wait for you? Besides, what would you do with all this stuff if I left?" the pretty girl said irritably.

"Things? What else do I have?" Xiao Chong asked, puzzled.

"Look, aren't these yours?" the pretty girl said, pointing to a neatly tied quilt and a rolled-up mat at her feet. She really couldn't understand why this seemingly refined person would carry such things around, like a madman.

"This, ah, this is mine!" Xiao Chong suddenly remembered that these were the things his grandparents had insisted he take before he left home. They kept nagging him about taking the mat with him, saying it would ensure he had shelter wherever he went and bring good fortune. The quilt, too, carried their hopes that he would have enough to eat and wear, and that he would prosper wherever he went! Xiao Chong felt ashamed and refused to take it. Later, his grandmother resorted to family discipline—a large bamboo whip—to force him to take their wishes. But he didn't expect that this would once again make him lose face in front of a pretty girl. His image completely ruined and he felt utterly ashamed. Even with all his shamelessness, he knew he couldn't possibly win her over!

"Thank you! Goodbye!" Xiao Chong said, picking up the mat with one hand and slinging the quilt over his shoulder. This dejected vagrant, now playing the role of a migrant worker, was about to embark on his wanderings!

"Hey, you! Why are you leaving so suddenly?! Come back!" The pretty girl called out, and Xiao Chong immediately stopped obediently. He'd already lost all his dignity as a man in front of this girl, so losing a little more wouldn't matter!

"..." Xiao Chong turned to look at her, speechless, his eyes filled with a heartbreaking disappointment. The pretty girl was stunned; it was just a bag, why was he so upset?

"I showed you my things for so long, shouldn't you thank me?" The pretty girl seemed about to kick him while he was down!

"Didn't I already thank you?" Xiao Chong asked.

"If thanking you was enough, what would we need money for?" the pretty girl asked, a classic line!

"..." Xiao Chong hadn't expected this seemingly respectable girl to be such a snob. He immediately wanted to throw all eleven yuan and eighty cents in his pocket at her, but could that amount of money kill her? Besides, if he gave her all his money, what would he eat tonight? This was his entire life savings!

"Why are you looking at me like that? You were so generous just now, handing me tissues and water, like the whole world had to accept your gifts! Anyway, I don't care about you now, you have to treat me to a meal. I've been sitting next to your pile of junk since I got off the train, and I'm starving!" the pretty girl complained.

"What do you want to eat?" Xiao Chong asked cautiously. He could afford two bowls of lean pork noodles! But in his heart, he couldn't help thinking, "Even if you're not hungry, you're still starving. Your waist is so thin, aren't you afraid it'll break in the wind?"

Hearing this, the pretty girl immediately perked up and carefully considered what to eat: "Hmm, let me think... Lobster? I think I just ate that yesterday. Abalone? I had that this morning too. Shark fin? I always eat that! What should I eat...?"

Xiao Chong became more and more alarmed as he listened and quickly interrupted her, "Since you can't decide, why don't I take you to eat something good?"

"Yeah! Since you're treating me to dinner, why would I think of that? Hurry up, make way! I'm so hungry I can barely walk. If you have to carry me, your body might not be able to handle it!" The pretty girl said, gesturing for Xiao Chong to take her there quickly.

"I can handle it, I can handle it! I'm just worried my little Chong can't handle it!" Xiao Chong muttered to himself as he walked forward.

"What did you say?" The pretty girl didn't hear him clearly and quickened her pace to catch up with him.

"Nothing, I just said that when I was chasing those thugs, I found a really unique restaurant. Let's go there quickly!" Xiao Chong said, trying to cover up his lie. A really unique

restaurant.

Of course, it wasn't called "A Really Unique Restaurant," but rather "Half a Roasted Goose Leg!" A strange, unconventional, attractive, and stylish name.

Xiao Chong had been attracted by the aroma of roasted goose wafting from the restaurant when he passed by. If those thugs hadn't still had some energy and were running quite fast at the beginning, he really wanted to pack one up and eat it while chasing them.

"Mmm~~~ It smells so good!" The pretty girl couldn't help but praise as she reached the door.

"See? I told you this is a really unique restaurant!" Xiao Chong said proudly, confidently walking inside. The sign said five yuan for a large bowl; he could buy two bowls of roast goose rice noodles with a dollar and eighty cents left over. Besides, the shop didn't sell anything else, which was why Xiao Chong felt comfortable walking in.

"Boss, two bowls of roast goose rice noodles, please!" Xiao Chong's voice was sharp, as if he were ordering two servings of lobster sashimi.

"Alright! Coming right away!" the owner, busy inside, replied.

The roast goose rice noodles were served quickly, so fast that Xiao Chong suspected they had been made the night before! Upon closer inspection, the roast goose rice noodles were indeed as described on the signboard: a large bowl, but the bowl was only large; the contents were clearly visible. You could count on your fingers three thinly sliced roast goose, two pieces of greens, a dozen or so rice noodles, and the rest was all broth. And this was only five yuan? Wasn't that a bit outrageous? The owner was a real swindler! Xiao Chong thought indignantly! But instead of reflecting on his own actions, he thought, "He sells safflower oil for twenty thousand dollars a bottle! Isn't he even more greedy than this owner?"

MM ate elegantly, suggesting a privileged background, but this didn't mean she ate slowly; on the contrary, she ate very quickly! In the blink of an eye, the meat, noodles, and vegetables in her bowl were gone, leaving only the broth.

Xiao Chong, seeing her unsatisfied expression, felt a chill run down his spine, fearing she might ask for another bowl, in which case he'd have to stay and wash the dishes that night. Quick thinking wasn't exactly Xiao Chong's forte, but sometimes things are forced upon you. "This broth is good stuff! We can't waste it. I can tell from the aroma that it's a slow-cooked, nourishing soup, made with dried bonito flakes, dried ginger, peanuts, pork bones, soybeans… it's exquisitely prepared, not only nourishing but also good for your complexion. It's perfect for a girl like you! Drink up, don't be shy, it's good for your health. If you're still hungry, you can have this bowl too!" Xiao Chong said, pushing his own large bowl, now only containing broth, in front of MM.

"Really?" mm said, half believing and half doubting, but still couldn't resist the temptation of the "beauty-enhancing" soup, and picked up the bowl to drink it.

The boss, who was serving customers, couldn't help but give Xiao Chong a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you really know your stuff! This soup is indeed made by simmering bonito flakes, dried peas, peanuts, pork bones, and soybeans over low heat overnight. It seems you're a gourmet!"

"I'm flattered, I'm flattered!" Xiao Chong replied with a smile on the surface, but in his heart he was shouting, "I was just guessing!"

"Boss, give me a roast goose, deboned but with skin on, with the beak (buttocks) but not the neck, the color should be reddish-yellow with a hint of black, not burnt, just the original juice, no other ingredients, cut into one-ounce pieces, and a bowl of rice noodles, vegetarian, with lots of greens and little oil, no scallions!" a fat man shouted as he sat down.

"Alright! Fatty, wait a minute!" The boss said, then went into the kitchen to get busy. The shop was doing very well, and the boss, who hadn't hired any waiters, seemed a bit overwhelmed.

Xiao Chong couldn't help but give the fat guy the middle finger! What a glutton! That's a true gourmet, but of all times, he had to pick this moment to provoke him.

"Boss, another bowl of roast goose noodles, please!" A clear voice rang out beside Xiao Chong when he wasn't paying attention. Xiao Chong was about to say no, but it was too late. The boss had already agreed from the kitchen.

Xiao Chong was inwardly groaning. This girl really dared to eat! She'd drunk two big bowls of soup and still wasn't full. He really wanted to ask her, "Were you a reincarnated hungry wolf in your past life?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at on the ground? Is there money on the ground to pick up?" the girl asked, looking at Xiao Chong who had his head buried in his chest.

"Mind your own business!" Xiao Chong said irritably! He really wanted to see if there were any coins on the ground, because there were 1.5 yuan coins scattered all over his little courtyard, all thrown away by Xiao Chong! But this wasn't his house, and he searched every corner of the ground, but he didn't see a single coin, not even half a coin!

The roast goose and rice noodles were almost served!

"Shall we split it?" mm said kindly.

"No need! You eat it yourself!" Xiao Chong was really afraid that she wouldn't be full and would order another bowl, and then it might not be as simple as washing dishes all night. Meanwhile, his hand reached into his pocket and kept counting his pitiful few bills, really hoping to find three yuan and fifty cents more.

"People say you have to sweat when you eat someone else's food, and it's true! It's so satisfying! Where's your tissue?" The girl was indeed sweating a little.

Xiao Chong helplessly handed her a tissue, saying, "I've only ever heard people say that if you treat someone to your own food, you'll definitely bleed from your teeth. Look, is there any blood in my gums?" Xiao Chong grinned at her, not caring about appearances anymore.

The girl looked carefully and then said seriously, "No blood, not a drop, but there's a piece of green vegetable!"

"Ugh!" It was disgusting, but the vomiting didn't come from Xiao Chong and the others; it came from the fat guy who ordered a roast goose.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" the owner rushed out anxiously.

"Ugh, um, ugh, um!" The fat guy's face was flushed, one hand covering his neck, the other pointing to his mouth—he must have choked on the roast goose!

"Oh my god! What should I do? I've been telling you, one tael is too big, half a tael is enough, but you never listen. What am I going to do?" The shopkeeper was extremely worried. If anything happened to the customer in his shop, his business would be ruined!

"Serves you right! Serves you right for being such a big shot!" Xiao Chong was a little gloating. Who told him to show off and act like a gourmet when he was in his most difficult time?

"Hey, how can you be so heartless? Do you have any ideas? Go help him!" The girl looked at the fat man whose face had turned from red to bluish-purple and said to Xiao Chong.

"What can I do..." Xiao Chong suddenly remembered what Zhang Weijie had said about what happened between him and his father at Longhaitian, and suddenly had an idea. So he stood up, walked behind the man, and hugged the fat man from behind. The posture was really a bit...ambiguous.

The boss, who was completely disoriented, was very grateful to Xiao Chong for coming to help, but seeing Xiao Chong like that, he couldn't help but shout, "Hey, brother, you can't lift him, let's wait for the ambulance..."

Before the boss could finish speaking, Xiao Chong had already grabbed the fat man's hand and forcefully pressed it against his chest.

"Ugh!" With a loud bang, the fat man opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Xiao Chong was puzzled. Zhang Weijie clearly said it was like this, so why didn't it work? Was it because he wasn't using enough force? Thinking this, Xiao Chong used more force and pressed it against the fat man's chest again.

"Ugh!" Another loud bang, the fat man's mouth was wide open for a long time, and he couldn't close it. In addition to the feeling of wanting to vomit, there was also pain. His sternum was almost broken by Xiao Chong.

"Uncle ***, you're always lying! You only teach me useless tricks! I don't believe I can't teach you a lesson!" Xiao Chong cursed as he released the fat man and took a few steps back. Suddenly, he charged forward and slapped the fat man hard on the back.

"Ugh!!!!!" The loud noise was inhuman, terrifying. The fat man opened his mouth wide, and a piece of roast goose flew out, shooting several meters and hitting the glass of the storefront before bouncing back and landing squarely in the bowl of noodles that the girl hadn't finished eating. She jumped up in a panic, startled.

The fat man gasped for breath, his purplish-blue face slowly turning red before returning to normal.

The customers in the shop, seeing Xiao Chong's amazing skill—though somewhat cruel, at least he had saved the man—couldn't help but applaud him.

Xiao Chong was overjoyed, but outwardly remained expressionless, nodding to everyone without even a thank you before returning to his seat. "I really admire you!" the pretty girl said to Xiao Chong.

"It's nothing, just child's play!" Xiao Chong had finally regained some face, a victory for all men oppressed by women.

"I admire your rudeness and utter stupidity! It's truly admirable that you could even come up with such a method!" the pretty girl said, as if praising him as a genius, but this was definitely an indication that Xiao Chong was a born idiot.

"Huh?" Xiao Chong never expected the girl to say such a thing.

"Isn't that right? You just need to stimulate his throat with a pair of chopsticks and he'll immediately spit it out, groaning and yelling, hitting and cursing like a sadist!" the pretty girl said sarcastically.

Her words suddenly enlightened Xiao Chong, but also filled him with shame and embarrassment. "Boss, the bill!"

he shouted loudly. Had he forgotten that his entire fortune wasn't enough to pay? Yes, he really had forgotten, so angry he'd forgotten everything!

"Thank you for your patronage, that'll be fifteen yuan!" the shopkeeper said earnestly. Business is business, and personal favors are personal favors; he seemed to have completely forgotten that Xiao Chong had just helped him out of that predicament. Humans are truly pragmatic creatures. Without

thinking, Xiao Chong reached into his pocket, but when he pulled out the money, he remembered he didn't have enough, and his face immediately turned as red as a sunset.

"Boss, I only have eleven yuan and eighty cents. My bag was stolen at the train station. How about this? I won't take your few yuan for nothing. You seem quite busy, so I'll help you with your business to make up for my few yuan, okay?" Xiao Chong felt so wronged he wanted to cry. He'd never bowed down over a few yuan before. This was truly a case of three yuan and twenty cents bringing a strong man to his knees! "It's

my treat!"

"I'll pay for you!"

"Boss, I'll pay their bill!"

"..."

Hearing this, the customers in the shop all stepped forward to pay for this brave and helpful young man. This made Xiao Chong realize for the first time that besides family, friendship, and love, there was another kind of emotion—human kindness. It's just human nature!

"No, everyone, don't argue with me! If it weren't for this young man, I probably would have lost my life over this roast goose! So I'll pay for his bill. Also, young man, consider this two hundred yuan as my consultation fee. I hope you can save more people in the future!" The fat man said, pulling out two hundred yuan and forcibly stuffing it into Xiao Chong's hand. Xiao Chong refused to accept it, but the girl next to him snatched it away.

After paying the bill, the fat man said to the shopkeeper, "Tomorrow, I'll come at the same time, and give you one roast goose, just like you said, half an ounce each!" After saying that, the fat man left, leaving everyone in the shop dumbfounded. This guy really won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin, and even when he sees the coffin, he won't shed a tear.

Chapter 3 of the Independent Chapter: Sleeping on the Streets

and Finding "Half a Roast Goose Leg" It was already dark!

The pretty girl was still following closely behind Xiao Chong.

"I've already treated you to a meal, and you've taken the money. It seems like we're even now!" Xiao Chong asked the girl.

"It seems so!" The pretty girl nodded.

"Then why are you still shamelessly following me?" Xiao Chong wasn't interested in clever and quick-witted women, but he was extremely disgusted by a woman who was so brazen as to embarrass him in public and who accepted money from others without permission. Actually, all of this was a pretense; Xiao Chong had figured out that this woman was as shrewd as a fox spirit. Trying to seduce her into bed? Only in his dreams or by drugging her—it was impossible. Xiao Chong truly understood what it meant to be "tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away!

" "I...you're saying I'm shamelessly clinging to you?" The woman couldn't save face anymore, and her voice rose!

"Why are you still following me? You go your sunny road, I'll go my narrow bridge!" Xiao Chong said, steeling her heart, and walked forward without looking back. Anyway, she had two hundred yuan on her, enough to eat and stay for the time being. Even if she ran out of money, her bag hadn't been stolen, so she should have some money, at least enough to buy a train ticket home!

Xiao Chong walked and thought without looking back, and finally felt ridiculous. She was still worried about this person. Why should she worry about someone who was a complete stranger? Besides, she should be the one worrying now, penniless and wondering where she would stay.

The night grew darker, and Xiao Chong felt she was just making a fool of herself, making things difficult for herself. Why give up such a comfortable life? He'd come all this way, enduring hardship and toil, and now he didn't even have a place to stay.

Xiao Chong was getting tired. Luckily, there was a small lawn by the roadside, a place where birds usually learn to fly and forage. Exhausted, he silently claimed it. He spread out his mat, unfurled his blanket, and used the earth as his bed and the sky as his canopy—a kind of carefree desolation amidst his misery. But moments like this usually made him think of his family: Xiao Chong, Qi Feier, Sun Shanshan, Susan… Xiao Chong didn't finish thinking of all his relatives and friends before falling asleep.

In the middle of the night, a warm, soft body quietly slipped into Xiao Chong's blanket. Having been a special forces soldier, Xiao Chong was no longer a heavy sleeper. The moment the person slipped in, he nimbly rolled over and grabbed the person's neck.

"Ugh~~~~~" The person struggled beneath him, and Xiao Chong finally saw a familiar face.

He quickly released her. It was none other than the girl who had been leisurely following behind him. "Cough, cough, what do you want? Are you trying to murder me?"

"That's what I should be asking you. What do you want? Why are you still haunting me?" Xiao Chong sighed helplessly.

"I, I, I can't find a place to stay, I have no money!" Tears welled in the girl's eyes, glistening in the moonlight.

"How come you have no money? Didn't you have two hundred yuan?" Xiao Chong asked, puzzled.

"That's your money! How could I use your money! When I saw you like that at the shop, I was afraid you really wouldn't want it. You're penniless, and I worried about how you'd manage, so I took it for you!" Tears streamed down the girl's face as she spoke. The two hundred yuan had been clutched in her hand, but she hadn't had a chance to give it to Xiao Chong. Now, though crumpled, the money still carried her warmth, giving Xiao Chong a sense of comfort.

"Don't cry, I'm a grown man, what do you think I can't survive? Take the money, find a cheap hotel, stay one night, and go home tomorrow!" Xiao Chong was always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted. He'd rather sleep on the street until dawn than let the girl in front of him, who was somewhat touched by his kindness, suffer

. "I ran away from home, I don't want to go back, and this money isn't enough to go back!" the girl said between sobs. She had always been strong, but this was the first time she had revealed her vulnerability in front of him.

"You ran away from home? What's your name? Are you an adult? Where is your home? Aren't your parents worried about you?" Xiao Chong's words were like a census.

"My name is Nami, I just turned twenty, I don't want to go back. They're forcing me to marry someone I don't like, I really don't want to go back!" Nami cried.

"Japanese?" Xiao Chong was truly surprised that this beautiful girl who spoke fluent Chinese was Japanese. His eyebrows furrowed deeply, like washboards. He hated Japanese people, both men and women. But with this girl in front of him, he couldn't convince himself to hate her.

"Well, my home is in Tokyo, Japan. Do you think two hundred yuan is enough to get home?" Nami sobbed for a while, then laughed at her own words.

"Haha, definitely not. You... I can't do anything with you. Come on in. Although men and women shouldn't touch each other, things aren't so strict these days!" After hearing that she was Japanese, countless filthy thoughts, known only to himself, arose in Xiao Chong's mind.

"What's your name?" Nami asked.

"Ouyang Chong, just call me Xiao Chong!" When Xiao Chong introduced himself, he always imagined himself as a green onion.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Xiao Chong," Nami said, giving Xiao Chong a deep bow. She hesitated for a while before finally getting into bed. There was a huge generation gap between them, wide enough to be crossed by a train.

Xiao Chong wasn't in a hurry; this was the first time he'd experienced such unexpected good fortune. He figured he should try everything in life to make it worthwhile.

"Just call me Xiao Chong. 'Xiao Chongjun,' it sounds like I was drafted when I was very young. I was much older when I joined the army, and I haven't even been back for a month!" Xiao Chong said.

"Alright then, Xiao Chong! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Nami changed her address. Xiao Chong was delighted. He'd heard that Japanese women, once tamed, would be incredibly obedient and attentive to their men. He wondered if he'd have that chance. Being with this Japanese girl often led him into daydreams.

"Nami, are you planning to follow me like this forever?" Xiao Chong looked up at the night sky, finding the stars exceptionally bright.

"You're not a bad person! Don't you like me following you?" Nami asked.

"It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I'm in a precarious situation myself, and I don't know how I can take care of you!" Xiao Chong said, half-jokingly.

"It's okay, don't worry, I can find a job myself. I graduated from the nursing program at Kawasaki Medical College in Japan, and I've passed the nursing qualification exam and the nursing professional title exam. I can easily find a nursing job! It's just that my family has always disagreed with me becoming a nurse, sigh!" Nami sighed again as she spoke.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, let's go to sleep early. We'll look for jobs tomorrow, otherwise, we can't keep living on the streets!" Xiao Chong fell asleep three seconds after saying that.

Nami, however, couldn't sleep. Her gaze fell on Xiao Chong's face, and she was very confused. She didn't know why she trusted and was attached to this strange man so much, and even dared to sleep in the same bed with him. If her family found out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar...

As dawn broke,

people saw a strange object by the roadside. Under a blanket were two human figures embracing. A mass of objects.

A homeless person seeking shelter on the street? Performance art by young people? A man and woman seeking thrills and romance having an affair? Or a murderer dumping a body here? No one knows, because the blanket is tightly covering the two people, their heads and feet inside. Only a pair of men's and women's shoes placed next to the mat can identify them as a couple.

More and more people are gathering, all curious to see what's going on.

A mischievous child waits and waits, but nothing happens. Getting impatient, he looks at the apple core he's just finished eating and is about to throw away, so without thinking, he throws it onto the blanket.

With a "plop!" the blanket rippled slightly before quickly returning to its calm state.

This seemingly insignificant action sparked a chain reaction among the adults, who began throwing whatever they could get their hands on onto the blanket: banana peels, cans, rotten vegetable leaves… The

muffled "plop plop plop…" sounds continued. A young couple huddled together under the blanket quickly separated. They hadn't wanted to be together, but the night dew was too heavy, forcing them to huddle under the covers, and before they knew it, they were embracing.

"Nami, get up! It's raining!" Xiao Chong exclaimed, sitting up. A rotten vegetable leaf hit him squarely on the forehead with a "thud." Two stars flashed before his eyes, and when they disappeared, he looked around and was startled to find himself surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers.

"***, why are you throwing vegetables at me? What's so interesting? Haven't you ever seen someone sleeping before?" Xiao Chong couldn't help but curse. The woman who threw the vegetable leaves quickly and quietly slipped away. Nami also stood up at this moment, quite surprised to see so many people watching.

"Tch, who wants to see you!" a young woman spat.

"That's right, what kind of skill is it to sleep on the side of the road? If you're so capable, go sleep in the middle of the road!" a young man shouted at Xiao Chong.

"Why don't you go home to sleep? Running around is embarrassing!" an old man said.

"Damn, this kid knows how to enjoy himself! Did you see that woman next to him? A real beauty!" A man who looked like a goldfish pointed at Nami and said.

Nami was about to stand up and yell at him when Xiao Chong suddenly stood up. "Don't you people have any compassion? Do you even understand compassion? Not the pig's heart you're holding! Do you even know what morality is? Don't you understand? If you don't understand, go home and look through your elementary school textbooks! If we had homes and beds to sleep in, would we be here suffering like this? We're sick, not you! You heartless people not only don't pity us at all, but you also throw things at us. What are you thinking? Are you from Earth or aliens? If you're from Earth, how come you don't know what humanity is?"

"Xiao Chong!" Nami couldn't help but call out weakly. His ability to curse was truly terrifying, and she was afraid he would hurt innocent people like her.

"What?" When Xiao Chong turned around, his eyes still gleamed with malice. But when he saw Nami, his eyes immediately softened.

"They're all gone, let's stop arguing!" Nami gently advised.

"Is that so?" Xiao Chong turned around and saw that, sure enough, there wasn't a single onlooker left. "They left so quickly? I'd only just begun." Xiao Chong seemed unsatisfied. The arguing skills that Shen Xue had unintentionally passed on to him during her argument with the tofu seller were being used for the first time, yet they showed their deadly power.

"Xiao Chong, what should we do now?" Nami asked.

"Let's go have breakfast first, then we'll go look for jobs together!" Xiao Chong spoke with great enthusiasm, as if finding a job was as simple as licking a snot drip from the corner of your nose.

Chapter 4 of the Independent Chapter: Finding a Job -

Half a Roasted Goose Leg.

Xiao Chong and Nami went inside.

"Boss, two bowls of rice noodles, please!" Xiao Chong and Nami didn't really want to come, but they had no choice. Along the way, there was no place cheaper or with bigger bowls than this one, only more expensive and smaller bowls.

"Alright! Where are you two going today?" The food stall was doing very well in the morning, and the stingy owner hadn't hired any waiters, making things a bit chaotic. While busy, he still managed to chat with Xiao Chong and Nami.

"Go find a job!" Xiao Chong picked up his chopsticks, ready to eat! Not brushing his teeth or washing his face all morning was perfectly normal for him; during his military training, there had been times when he couldn't brush his teeth or wash his face for a month, let alone a day.

"Hehe, then best of luck to both of you!" The owner chatted briefly with Xiao Chong.

This time, the roast goose noodles took a long time to arrive; there were so many people in the morning that Xiao Chong had to squeeze through the kitchen window to get them himself.

Looking at the two bowls of roast goose noodle soup the owner handed him, Xiao Chong couldn't help but ask, "Boss, this…"

"Hehe, you need to eat well to have the energy to look for a job! Jobs are hard to find in Guangcheng! Go eat!" The owner continued busying himself without looking up.

Xiao Chong brought the two bowls of rice noodles back to the table. Nami couldn't help but exclaim in surprise; the bowls contained twice as much food as yesterday. Xiao Chong quickly gestured for her to tell everyone too, lest others be envious and accuse the owner of favoritism.

The two bowls of rice noodles, soup and all, were quickly devoured by Xiao Chong and Nami.

"Boss, is it alright if I leave my things here?" Xiao Chong had to thank his grandparents; if it weren't for their kindness, he would have been soaked in dew all night. But carrying a mat and blanket around like that wasn't a good idea!

"No problem! Just put them in that corner!" the owner readily agreed.

After taking half a roast goose leg, Xiao Chong and Nami quickly asked around for directions to the Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. With only 190 yuan left, they couldn't bear to take the bus and walked eight stops to the hospital.

There were no job postings on the gate, but Xiao Chong didn't care at all. He grabbed Nami and ran towards the director's office.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Xiao Chong knocked on the door of the director's office.

"Come in!" a dignified voice came from inside.

"Dean, hello!" Xiao Chong walked in and saw a middle-aged man with a beard sitting behind a desk. He quickly greeted him.

"What can I do for you?" The dean assumed it was another complaint and quickly put on a smiling face. This was the eighth time today!

"We're here to look for jobs!" Xiao Chong stated his purpose directly.

"You idiot, what are you doing here looking for jobs? You should go to the medical affairs department!" The dean's expression immediately changed.

"I am Ironclad Fierce Soldier Xiao Chong, the arrogant miracle doctor of the Abnormal Surgery Team. I think I have the right to come directly to you!" Xiao Chong had no idea that one should bow one's head under someone else's roof.

"Hmm, you do look a bit like him, but if you say you're Ironclad Fierce Soldier, your complexion isn't dark enough, and you don't have red and yellow paint on like him. If you say you're an arrogant miracle doctor, you don't seem as fair-skinned as him! If you really are him, why would you need to come here looking for jobs?" The dean commented, looking at him.

"Damn it, have you said enough?" Xiao Chong's arrogance flared up again!

"Oh! You've got quite the temper! You think you're really him? Damn it, I see at least three charlatans like you every year, get out!" The director pointed to the door without any politeness.

"You, you..." Xiao Chong was so angry he really wanted to beat him up.

"What do you mean, 'I'? You're not leaving, are you? If you're not leaving, I'll call security! I've seen plenty of freeloaders like you!" The director said, picking up the phone and quickly dialing a number. "Hello, security office?"

Before the director could finish speaking, Nami had already dragged Xiao Chong out of the office.

Outside the hospital.

"Xiao Chong, are you really the Ironclad Fierce Soldier?" Nami asked.

"Damn it, even you doubt me?" Xiao Chong asked angrily. It was both pathetic and infuriating that no one believed his identity!

"Are you really him? How could you be so ruthless on the battlefield? Most of our soldiers are still in the hospital!" Nami said resentfully. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the same ruthless, demonic soldier on the battlefield! The cruelty of that ruthless soldier had haunted the entire nation of Japan for a long time.

"It's not my fault. It was supposed to be a competition, but they used live bullets against me! Do you think I could have avoided it?" Xiao Chong argued.

"Is that so?" Nami asked doubtfully.

"Didn't you see the broadcast on TV? They not only used live bullets, but they even deployed ninjas. If I hadn't been lucky enough to survive, I would probably be dead in Japan by now!" Xiao Chong said sarcastically.

"No, I didn't see that part!" Nami shook her head.

"Hmph, would they dare let you see something like that?" Xiao Chong was furious at the mention of it.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue looking for work!" Nami saw the veins bulging on Xiao Chong's forehead and quickly stopped the conversation.

"Still looking? Can't we just stop?" Xiao Chong's face fell, remembering what had just happened.

"A little setback and you're defeated? Are you made of iron?" Nami thought provocation was better than persuasion.

"Of course I am! No doubt about it, let's go, who's afraid of who!" Xiao Chong said, puffing out his chest and striding forward.

"Hey, wait for me!" Nami quickly caught up with Xiao Chong.

The two walked and asked, going into any large hospital they saw. They even barged into the director's office, and as expected, they were always kicked out, sometimes even by security guards.

This only fueled Xiao Chong's stubbornness. He truly refused to believe that such a big city couldn't accommodate him. He believed he was incredibly talented, but these idiots just didn't know how to appreciate it. At the same time, he deeply regretted not choosing a job in the veterans' affairs office in Guangcheng if he knew he was going to make a name for himself here. Why bother with all this effort! Xiao Chong thought for

a moment and then gave up. He preferred to walk his own path and let others ride in Mercedes! The path you walk step by step is your own path. Only then, when you're old and toothless, will you have something to look back on. In the director's office of

the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Province

, Xiao Chong was still repeating the same dialogue.

The director carefully sized him up and said, "If you really are the arrogant miracle doctor, we would very much welcome you to join us. Our hospital desperately needs someone like you! Can I see your credentials?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong reached for his bag, but it had already been washed away somewhere in the sewage river. He could only say, "Director, my bag was stolen as soon as I got off the train! My credentials are all in the bag."

"Is that so? Without credentials, we find it hard to believe your identity! How about this, I'm an old acquaintance of the director of the Sino-American Friendship Hospital. I'll call him and ask. Then I'll put it on speakerphone, and you can say a few words to him in front of everyone to prove your identity, how about that?" It seemed this director was a thoughtful person.

"Okay! Go ahead and call!" Xiao Chong was somewhat impressed by this serious director.

The director picked up the phone and quickly connected to the Sino-American Friendship Hospital.

"Hello, this is the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Province. Please transfer me to the director's office!" the director said.

"..."

"What? The dean went to England for a trip? When will he be back?"

"..."

"That long? He's got so much free time!"

"..."

"That's all! That's all!" The dean said, hanging up the phone, then helplessly told Xiao Chong, "The dean went to England and won't be back for three months!"

Xiao Chong's face turned deathly pale, half black and half white, and he thought to himself, "Heavens are killing me!"

"Young man, don't be discouraged. You can just replace your lost documents. As long as you bring your documents and I verify that you are indeed the arrogant miracle doctor Ouyang Chong, we will offer you a high salary!" The dean's words were extremely tactful; this was the art of manners and conversation.

"Alright! Thank you, dean! Then you can keep her here; her documents are all here!" Xiao Chong said, placing Nami's document bag in front of the dean.

The dean immediately opened it and looked at it carefully, nodding repeatedly as he looked. After a while, he said, "No problem. This Japanese lady is highly educated and has already obtained her professional qualifications, but the only question is how well she speaks Chinese?"

“Sinnimah, the alleyway is filled with gurgling sounds…” A string of bird language came out of Nami’s mouth.

"What...what are you talking about?" The dean's expression made it clear that Nami's chances were over. Seeing this,

Xiao Chong immediately said to the dean, "Dean, don't make a decision yet. Let's discuss it together. She might be having some emotional issues! Her Chinese is usually better than most native speakers!" As he spoke, Xiao Chong pulled Nami aside and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's the point of me being here alone? I don't want to be here!" Nami pouted her cute little mouth.

"Miss, let's find a place to settle down first before we worry about anything else. Think about it, if neither of us has a job, what will we eat? Will we starve? At least one of us needs a job. If the other can't find work, the other can help out! Understand? Silly girl!" Xiao Chong gently tapped her head.

"I understand!" Nami was very happy because Xiao Chong didn't seem to want to abandon her, and his tone easily made it seem like they were a couple. Nami felt a sweet warmth in her heart!

"Alright then! Speak properly to the Dean, stop using that 'bird language'!" Xiao Chong coaxed her like a child.

"What 'bird language'? That's Japanese!" Nami said in a coquettish tone. Xiao Chong couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Is this how Japanese women conquer men?

"Japanese is just bird language!" Xiao Chong thought to himself, then said to the Dean, "Dean, could you listen to a few sentences of her Chinese before making a decision?"

"Alright, Miss Nami, hello. Could you please recite a Tang poem in Chinese?" The Dean intentionally tested Nami. "

Dean, hello. Tang poems are too childish; they don't show my abilities. How about I give you a tongue twister?" Nami asked.

"Okay!" The Dean nodded! Actually, as soon as Nami finished speaking, the Dean had already made his decision. With such fluent and perfect Chinese, what was the point of testing her?

"In the first month of the lunar calendar, the first month is here, two sisters went to see the lanterns. The elder sister

was named Pink Girl, and the younger sister was named Pink Girl. Pink Girl wore a pink jacket, and Pink Girl wore a pink jacket. Pink Girl carried a bottle of pink wine, and Pink Girl carried a bottle of pink wine

. The sisters found a secluded spot and began to drink and toast.

Pink Girl drank Pink Girl's pink wine, and Pink Girl drank Pink Girl's wine. Pink Girl got completely drunk, and Pink Girl got completely drunk.

Pink Girl grabbed Pink Girl and started hitting her..." , the pink girl grabbed the pink girl and twisted her.

The pink girl tore off the pink girl's pink coat, and the pink girl tore off the pink girl's coat.

The sisters gave up and bought thread to sew by themselves.

The pink girl bought a pink thread, and the pink girl bought a pink thread.

The pink girl sews her pink coat backwards, and the pink girl sews her pink coat backwards! "Nami is indeed extraordinary. People in this country think that the tongue twister is word-for-word, she recited it in one breath, fluently and clearly.

"Okay, Miss Nami, you are admitted! When can I go to work? "The dean asked cheerfully.

"Anytime is fine! "Nami responded, with a sweet smile on her face!

"..."

After walking out of the Provincial Affiliated Hospital, Xiao Chong was in a happier mood than Nami, because he could finally get rid of this burden.

"Xiao Chong, let's continue to find a job! "Nami said.

"Still looking for a job? What job are you looking for? Don’t you have a job? "Xiao Chong asked puzzledly.

"But you don't have one? Do you really want me to support you?" Nami asked.

"Yeah! Now that you have a job, I'm too lazy to look for one. It's so good to have you supporting me!" Xiao Chong said against his will; being a kept man was the thing he despised most. "Okay

, it's just one more bowl and one more pair of chopsticks anyway. Judging from how much you ate yesterday, I can afford to support you!" Nami said confidently.

"Hehe, I was worried about not being able to pay the bill yesterday, so I didn't dare to eat. Now that you have a job, just you wait and see! Besides, although it's just one more bowl and one more pair of chopsticks now, who knows how many more pairs of chopsticks there will be in the future!" Xiao Chong stared at Nami's stomach as he said this.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Nami thought she had exposed herself and quickly covered her stomach with her hands.

"Hehe, I'm just guessing that a little person will pop out of your little belly someday!" Xiao Chong laughed and teased her as he ran away.

"...A few little guys?...Baka, you dare flirt with your grandma!" Nami finally realized what was happening, but Xiao Chong had already run far away, so she quickly chased after him, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

The two of them played around in the street like children.

In Chapter 5 of the Independent Chapter

, "On the Road to Settling Down," Xiao Chong made a call to Old C in the United States, saying that all his documents had been lost and asking him to help him find Old Bill to replace two graduation certificates and a certificate of completion for further studies. He also asked him to use his connections to get

a replacement passport and identity document from the US government. After rambling on and on, Xiao Chong wanted to call Qi Feier, not to ask for money, but just to let her know he was safe. But he couldn't, because he was out of money. Domestic roaming plus international long distance calls are really expensive! He had just topped up his phone before leaving, and without making a single call, it was all gone. Luckily, he had his phone in his pocket when he left. If it had been in his bag, the hundred or so yuan they had left wouldn't have been enough for that call!

"Sorry, your balance is insufficient for this call. Please top up..." Xiao Chong really wanted to rush to China Mobile's headquarters and throw that boss off the 100th floor! But he couldn't, because he didn't have the money for the ride!

Half a roast goose leg.

Xiao Chong and Nami didn't really want to eat ramen anymore. They'd eaten it for several meals in a row, and their stomachs were already full of it. If they ate any more, they'd probably pass ramen as stool. But given their current financial situation, ramen was their only option. If they wanted a fancy meal, 190 yuan would barely cover it, and even then, it wouldn't be anything fancy.

"Boss, give us two bowls of ramen!" Xiao Chong said, feeling a bit nauseous. But there was nothing else here, only this.

"Okay, coming right away. How's the job search going?" the boss asked with concern. Since it was lunchtime, there weren't many people like Xiao Chong who loved ramen. Everyone had gone to eat lunch; why would anyone come here for ramen? The shop was mostly empty except for a few customers, giving the boss time to chat and joke around.

"She found a job, but I lost my ID, and no one will hire me without it!" Xiao Chong complained. Although the boss was realistic, strictly speaking, he was still a stingy but kind person.

"Oh, that's not easy. Nobody dares to hire you without proper credentials. But I do have a place I can recommend you for work!" The boss spoke mysteriously, as if he were introducing Xiao Chong to a gigolo.

"Boss, although I don't have credentials, I don't do murder, arson, rape, or kidnapping. Besides, I don't have the capital to be a gigolo!" Xiao Chong actually did have the capital, and quite a lot of it, so being a gigolo was definitely no problem for him.

"Hehe, brother, you're really joking. I wouldn't recommend you to be a gigolo; I want you to be a goose!" The boss said with a wicked grin.

"Huh? Being a gigolo is no longer an option, and now you want to be a goose? Where?" Xiao Chong asked in surprise.

"Haha, brother, you're really funny. The place to be a goose is right under your nose!" The boss grinned from ear to ear.

"Here? To make roast goose?" Xiao Chong asked.

"Yes, I should hire a worker. It's too tiring to do it all by myself. Brother, you're a reliable person, and young and strong. Some jobs require a young person like you to help!" The boss acted as if he was too old and useless.

"How's the pay?" Xiao Chong was the type who'd take a little kindness and expect to be taken advantage of. Right now, he was nobody, practically a hoodlum; he was lucky they even hired him, let alone dared to negotiate.

"1500 a month, room and board included, but the work is pretty tiring. Can you handle it, brother?" the boss asked.

"What kind of work do I do?" Xiao Chong hesitated to agree. 1500 a month was equivalent to a chef's salary in a restaurant.

"Get up at four in the morning, light the charcoal fire, prepare the roast goose, open the stall at six, help greet customers, serve tea and water, wash dishes and chopsticks, clean...etc., finish at ten at night, then slaughter the goose, and then it's time for the next day's work again? Can you handle it, brother?" the boss asked.

“I can do this kind of work. I come from a poor family and I’m used to hardship. No problem. But could you raise my wages? It’s not easy for me to leave my hometown to work here. Boss, you know the cost of living in Guangcheng is high, and young people these days spend money like water. I have grandparents who are nearly eighty years old, and a child who can’t even speak clearly yet. The debts from my schooling are still not paid off, and the house is leaky and dilapidated…”

Xiao Chong’s emotional and tearful introduction was interrupted by the boss, who was also in tears. “Eighteen thousand, brother, please stop. It’s making this old man feel bad too. I came here from the countryside alone back then. I’ve been through it all, and I understand your situation. I’ve worked my way up to where I am today, hand in hand!”

"..." Xiao Chong was secretly delighted, completely absorbed in the touching story he had woven.

The boss truly admired Xiao Chong; just from his performance yesterday, he knew this young man was capable and would be a great help. Seeing him lower his head and remain silent, the boss assumed he was hesitant, so he gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "Two thousand yuan, really, that's the highest I can go! Brother, this is my limit! I was originally planning to hire a waitress after you, but with such a high salary, I can't afford a waitress!" "It's okay

, I'll take on the waitress's job too! I'll start work after I finish my noodles!" Xiao Chong said with a bright smile.

"Alright! Coming right away!" The boss smiled and went into the kitchen.

"Congratulations on finding a job, Xiao Chong!" Nami said with a smile.

"You must be happy, you don't have to support me anymore!" Xiao Chong looked like a boiled dog's head, grinning from ear to ear!

"Hehe, I knew you were joking. If you really wanted me to support you, you wouldn't be Ironclad Fierce Soldier, and you wouldn't be Xiao Chong! I'm good at judging people! You're not the kind of person who lives off a woman. Even if I really wanted to support you, you might not accept it!" Nami seemed to have known Xiao Chong for a long time, as if she had known him for countless lifetimes. She understood him as well as he did his close friends and family.

"Hehe!" Xiao Chong just chuckled without speaking. Was that really him? He didn't even understand himself. Sometimes he'd greedily charge exorbitant prices to rip people off, other times he'd risk his life to help others. Sometimes he'd argue until his face turned red over a penny, other times he'd generously throw millions away without batting an eye! He was so contradictory, completely baffled by his own ability to soar to the heavens and then plunge into the depths of the earth.

Xiao Chong was incredibly resilient; he was indeed a man who could bend and stretch, capable of great things. After a satisfying meal, he immediately threw himself into his role as an employee, helping his boss manage the business. While greeting customers and clearing away dishes, he got straight to the job without any warm-up or preparation. He was several times better than those chubby, clumsy guys. Although his movements were a bit clumsy, he was incredibly busy in the small restaurant. Customers quickly grew fond of this enthusiastic, cheerful, and hardworking young man, and even Nami was influenced by him, helping to serve customers.

The restaurant only had one room, used for storing miscellaneous items. The owner didn't usually live there. After closing at night, the owner entrusted the shop key to Xiao Chong with complete trust. This was a huge show of confidence for Xiao Chong; although the items in the shop weren't valuable, the owner had been incredibly kind to him. Poop handed it to Xiao Chong, which, in a society where interpersonal relationships are deteriorating and people are wary of each other, is a great deal of trust. Was it Xiao Chong's diligence that moved the always cautious Xiao Chong, or was it Xiao Chong's sincerity that put him at ease?

Nami didn't leave, but helped Xiao Chong tidy up the storage room. Grandpa Xiao Chong's thoughtful gift came in handy again, saving him from having to buy another one! It seems that the elderly are indeed more thoughtful than the young! But the quilt cover is unusable; it was dirtied by those curious and somewhat unscrupulous people that morning.

There's no bed, but there are many beer bottles in boxes in the storage room. I don't know if the supplier didn't come to return them, or if the boss was too lazy to go. With a few dozen yuan, covered in cobwebs, Xiao Chong and Nami unloaded all the boxes, cleaned them, and then combined them into a rectangle. They laid the mat flat on top, placed the blanket on top, and that's how the bed was made! It wasn't as good as a Simmons mattress, but for someone who used the ground as their bed and the sky as their curtain, it was a step up. At least they had a place to stay where they could shelter from the wind and rain without having to expose themselves to the elements.

The room had never been lived in before, so there were naturally many mosquitoes. Without a mosquito net, Xiao Chong had to grit his teeth and spend two yuan to buy a box of Lanju (domestic) mosquito coils. When he returned, Nami was still there and had already taken the sheets to the kitchen to wash.

"Hey, Nami, why aren't you leaving yet?" Xiao Chong asked.

"Leave? Where am I going?" Nami asked, puzzled.

"Damn, you've really stuck with me!" Xiao Chong thought to himself, but kept a straight face and said, "You should open a hotel!"

"We only have 188 yuan left. Although we have jobs, we don't know when we'll get paid. What if we encounter an unscrupulous and heartless boss who delays or doesn't pay us? So we should save where we can! Besides, you're sleeping in a bed all by yourself. Do you even have a body big enough to handle that? We can't waste resources like this. When I'm online, I rarely speak in the group chat, and the group admin says I'm just taking up space and wasting resources!" Nami's meaning was clear: I'm going to sleep with you tonight, until I get paid.

"Ugh, it's not good for us to always sleep together like this. What if I get carried away and do *that* to you? You'll never get married!" Xiao Chong was unusually kind and conscientious in reminding the unmarried girl.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you at all. If you dare to mess around, I'll use this on you!" Nami said, pulling out a toy that looked like an electrode. She pressed it, and a purple-blue spark flashed, accompanied by a hissing sound. Xiao Chong immediately recognized it as a current of tens of thousands of volts—a must-have for single women on business trips or vacations. A chill ran down his spine; this thing was no joke. Getting hit by it would leave him half-crippled, if not unconscious.

Seeing the cold glint in Xiao Chong's eyes, Nami said smugly, "Hehe, scared now? It's okay, I'm a girl and I don't mind, why are you? Are you even a man?"

"Damn it, I'm not a man! You dare put that thing down and see!" Xiao Chong said angrily.

"Fine!" Nami actually put the electrode gun aside, deliberately placing it far away to reassure Xiao Chong.

"***, how dare you look down on me!" Seeing that she dared to look down on him, Xiao Chong pounced on her without thinking, his hands reaching for her full, long-desired breasts. But just as he pinned her to the bed, the girl pulled out a pepper spray from somewhere and sprayed it into Xiao Chong's eyes!

"Ahhhhhh! My eyes!" Xiao Chong screamed and rolled to the side.

"Hehe, see if you dare again? This is pepper spray, specially for dealing with perverts like you!" Nami sat up, clapping her hands and laughing.

"My eyes hurt so much! I can't see anything!" Xiao Chong cried, covering his eyes.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine in a bit. Let's see if you dare to do it again. Come on, take off your shoes and lie down. I'll get you a towel." Nami said, helping Xiaochong take off his shoes, then helping him lie down and covering him with the blanket that no longer had a coat. Only then did she go out to get a towel.

"*** Japanese woman, her heart is as cruel as her ancestors!" Xiaochong cursed, covering his burning, aching eyes.

"Hey, who are you cursing? Believe me or not, I'll shock you with the electrode gun again!" Nami's voice suddenly appeared in Xiaochong's ear. Then he heard a "buzzing" sound!

"No, I won't do it again!" Although Xiaochong couldn't see, he could feel the purplish-blue, deadly electric current. It's true that evil people always need someone even more evil to torment them!

"Hehe, let's see if you dare to do it again. Quickly lie down a little further. Do you want to take up the whole bed?" Nami shouted at him. Although her voice was domineering, the towel in her hand was gently placed on Xiaochong's eyes.

"..." Xiao Chong remained silent. He knew that keeping quiet was the wise thing to do, but a grudge must be settled. Just wait, one day he'd make her pay.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Say something! Do you want another round?" Nami couldn't help but ask, seeing Xiao Chong lying lifelessly in the corner like a corpse.

"My eyes hurt. What do you want me to say?" Xiao Chong said in a muffled voice, his tone filled with endless grievances.

"Who told you to be so cruel? I... I still hurt!" Nami said, gently rubbing her chest, seeing that Xiao Chong couldn't see.

"Nothing hurts as much as my eyes, right?" Tears streamed down Xiao Chong's face as he said this, not from grievance, but from pain!

"Does it really hurt?" Nami asked.

"No, not at all. It feels great. You'll know once I spray you!" Xiao Chong couldn't help but curse.

"Hey, are you taking advantage of me because I don't understand Chinese? You're in pain and you're still cursing. I was going to hug you to comfort you, but now, hmph, don't even think about it!" Nami said angrily.

"What's so great about that? If you don't want to hug me, then don't. Do you really need my hug? I wish you'd develop body odor tomorrow and have four periods a month, each lasting a week..." Xiao Chong's words were cut short as he obediently shut his mouth because he heard the "buzzing" sound of the electrode gun again.

In the sixth chapter of the independent story, becoming a roast goose vendor

, on the second day, Xiao Chong got up early to light the charcoal and prepare to roast the goose. But the clumsy Xiao Chong was scolded half to death by his boss, Chen Jijin, just like he had scolded the clumsy Zhang Zhijie in the operating room years ago. Xiao Chong didn't mind Chen Jijin's scolding at all; if you don't understand something, you have to learn, so he resolved not to fight back or talk back. Seeing his sincere attitude and diligent learning, Chen Jijin never hit him, and scolded him less and less. He liked this young man because he wasn't someone who pretended to know everything!

Roast goose is an art, and making a good roast goose is an art in itself! It's not as simple as killing a goose, putting it in an oven, and roasting it, as Xiao Chong might think.

The Chinese have a long history of eating goose; it was used in sacrifices as early as the Zhou Dynasty. In ancient times, goose was often cooked using the "zhi" method, which is roasting. Speaking of the character "kao" (烤), it was created by the calligrapher Qi Baishi. Legend has it that when Mr. Qi was eating at a barbecue restaurant in Beijing, he insisted on paying the full amount. The restaurant owner took the opportunity to invite him to write a signboard for the shop. In a hurry, he wrote the character "kao" in one stroke. Using fire to transmit heat and emotion, cooking requires care and is an artistic expression.

Roast goose is a delicious dish. The methods of making Cantonese roast goose and northern roast duck are slightly different, but both are delicious and often make people's mouths water, bringing a lot of joy to diners. There are many ways to eat roast goose, such as roasting half a goose leg, which is a traditional method of roasting goose from Shenjing.

Chen Jijin wasn't afraid of Xiao Chong stealing his skills, because he knew Xiao Chong wasn't the type to be content selling roast goose for life like him. He could tell from Xiao Chong's resolute gaze that he would eventually leave. However, he admired Xiao Chong's straightforwardness, impulsiveness, diligence, and hard-working spirit. So, despite his scolding, he still diligently taught him.

Selecting geese was extremely meticulous, like choosing a wife. At first, Xiao Chong always picked geese with beautiful feathers but were actually yellow and thin. Chen Jijin couldn't help but scold him: "What's the use of just looking good? Besides feathers, there's no meat at all. Are customers eating the meat or the feathers? You have to carefully and meticulously select geese, just like choosing a wife, like your girlfriend. Not only must she be beautiful, but she must also have a good figure! You have to choose geese of moderate size; too big and they're hard to roast evenly, too small and they're easy to burn. You also have to choose lively and energetic ones, and they can't have black spots. It's like calling a chicken—would you call a sick chicken?" Our ultimate goal, while being to get money from our customers, is also to ensure they eat with peace of mind and satisfaction. My customers are mostly repeat customers. Why? Because my geese are beautiful, have great skin, perfect figures, and are healthy. Where else would they go if not here?

Xiao Chong nodded repeatedly, and from then on, choosing geese was like choosing a wife, increasingly satisfying Chen Jijin.

The most important thing in roasting goose is controlling the heat, but before that, there are many complex processes.

Slaughtering geese was Xiao Chong's worst skill, but Chen Jijin trained him into a butcher. Later, Xiao Chong was no longer just a butcher; he could be called a world-class professional butcher. Those "rainy night butchers," "violent butchers," and "perverted butchers" all had to step aside. When the goose was in his hands, the knife flashed, feathers flew, and blood spurted. The cleaver was like a scalpel he was used to wielding—sharp and precise. With one cut, he severed the goose's carotid artery without damaging the meat or bone. It was as skillful as it could be, as cruel as it could be.

Next comes the removal of wings, feet, and internal organs, much like a cadaver dissection, leaving the goose with incomplete limbs and displaced organs.

Following this is inflating; the previously emaciated goose is instantly transformed into a plump goose by the blower pipe filling the opening in its neck, appearing both cute and heavy—in reality, just an empty shell, what people often call a walking corpse.

The next step is sewing, though the needles and thread used here are not as sophisticated as in an operating room. The needles are straight, the thread thick, and they are haphazardly sewn together at the goose's rear end to prevent leakage. Then, the skin is scalded with boiling water, followed by the application of spices—the most crucial step and the core of Chen Jijin's ancestral secret recipe. In essence, it's nothing special, just common five-spice powder with bay leaves, seven herbs, honey, etc., but the selection, usage, and dosage are extremely precise.

After all this is done, the goose is hooked up with an iron hook and hung to air-dry and marinate. The next morning, "green pine" (a bundle of dried pine needles twisted together) was added to the charcoal and burned. Once the charcoal and tobacco were glowing red-hot, the marinated goose was placed in a rotating earthen oven to roast. Constant observation was necessary; the roasting time couldn't be too long, or the meat would become tough and the skin burnt; nor could it be too short, or the color wouldn't be golden-red enough, and the meat too greasy.

Two months later, Xiao Chong's roasted goose was golden-reddish in color, with crispy skin, fragrant meat, a fresh and delicate flavor, and the fatty meat was flavorful without being greasy, while the lean meat was tender without being sticky, and the bones were crisp with sweet juice. Comparable to Chen Jijin, Xiao Chong, a clever, diligent, and studious student, even surpassed Chen Jijin in roast goose. Unlike the rigid Chen Jijin, who stubbornly adhered to the family recipe and cooked the same dish repeatedly, Xiao Chong constantly innovated, changing the methods and coatings, creating over ten different flavors from a single goose. This made his half-goose leg business booming, with hundreds of goose orders a day, and the numbers kept rising. Xiao Chong was killing geese until his hands were sore, while Chen Jijin was counting money until his hands were sore. After Xiao Chong's strong protest, Chen Jijin gave him a 1,000 yuan raise, then had to hire an apprentice and a waiter. He also started eyeing the neighboring convenience store, wanting to take it over to expand his business. When Qi

Feier learned that Xiao Chong had become a roast goose master after only two months in Guangcheng, she was dumbfounded for a long time.

After returning from running errands, Sun Shanshan ate the roast goose that Xiao Chong had delivered by express and couldn't help but curse: "*** is a genius, he's good at everything he does, just like he's in bed!"

Susan and Qi Feier, who returned together, exchanged bewildered glances, almost fainting!

Nami returned to Xiao Chong on her first day of work, her face contorted with worry.

"What's wrong, Grandma? Who upset you?" Xiao Chong asked while clearing the dishes.

"The hospital's dormitory is like a doghouse! Four people crammed into one room!" Nami complained bitterly. She was really trying to reach for the sky! She didn't even consider that she had slept on the streets the night before! She should be content with just having a place to stay, but she wasn't. Was she still infatuated with those two nights she shared a bed with Xiao Chong, or did she genuinely dislike the hospital dormitory? It was worth considering.

"Single nurses have to squeeze into dormitories like this? Why don't you hurry up and find a husband who's a doctor there? The hospital will definitely give you an apartment!" Xiao Chong said without a shred of sympathy, thinking to himself: Everyone knows you want to share a bed with me! Do you think my sweat smells better than those nurses' perfume? ***You're making me anxious but won't let me have a turn. I don't want to sleep with you!

"Sigh, anyway, I talked to the dean today, and he agreed to subsidize my rent by two hundred yuan a month so I can stay out!" Nami said, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"Oh, that's great, two hundred yuan can rent you a comfortable single room!" Xiao Chong was completely unmoved. Two hundred yuan? You think I'd sleep with you for two hundred yuan? What do you take me for?

"It's so unsafe for a girl like me to rent a place alone. What if I get a headache or fever in the middle of the night, or there's a burglary or something? I'd be completely finished!" Nami said with a mournful face.

"Damn it, so what do you want?" Xiao Chong finally couldn't help but ask the question he shouldn't have asked.

"Of course, it's with you..." Nami only said half of her sentence, but Xiao Chong already understood!

"Let me tell you, don't even think about it!" The thought of having an alluring, beautiful woman sleeping next to him every night, snuggling into his arms in the middle of the night, not allowing him to move, and using an electrode gun on him at the slightest provocation made Xiao Chong so sad that he wanted to commit suicide.

“I’ll pay you half the rent at most!” Nami tempted.

“No!” Xiao Chong remained unmoved, shaking his head like a rattle-drum.

“At most, I’ll wear a sexy nightgown to bed!” Nami went all out.

“No~~~~ No!” Xiao Chong was very tempted, but thinking that he could only look but not touch, the feeling was worse than death, so he resolutely refused!

Seeing that Xiao Chong was unwilling to do this or that, Nami couldn’t help but get angry, and her voice rose eight octaves: “I don’t care about you, whether you want to or not, I’m going to sleep with you, I’m definitely going to sleep with you!” As soon as

she said this, everyone was shocked. Are all girls born in the 80s so bold and fierce?

Chen Jijin, who was busy in the kitchen, also tried to persuade her after hearing Nami’s words: “Xiao Chong, just let her sleep with you, I have no objection, as long as you don’t tear down my shop, you can do whatever you want!” In his opinion, it was perfectly normal for the young couple to have a fierce battle every two nights, otherwise why would he have seen Xiao Chong’s eyes red when he woke up in the morning?

"Yeah, young man! With such a beautiful girl sleeping with you, you'd be secretly laughing even in your sleep!" an old man said with a laugh.

"Exactly! Hey, pretty lady, if he really won't come, come to my house! I have plenty of empty rooms!" a goldfish-loving man said with ill intent.

"Pah! What business is it of yours if the couple is flirting?" a middle-aged woman scolded.

Xiao Chong was truly at a loss for words. He really wanted to tell everyone: You try sleeping with her for a night and see if you can even touch her! Now, it seems like he's the one in the wrong. Oh well, there are very few people in the audience who can distinguish right from wrong. Her popularity is too great; he can only give in. Could he possibly resist? The audience would be beating him up in no time!

That night, Nami watched with great interest as Xiao Chong slaughtered the goose. The way the still-unskilled Xiao Chong chased the goose around, making her giggle with delight. The scene was like Japanese soldiers chasing after a village's hens. Seeing her gloating expression, Xiao Chong had only one thought: to sew her wide-open mouth shut like a goose's bottom.

Later that night, Xiao Chong was a little tired and wanted to sleep, but the little girl wouldn't let him have some peace, swaying back and forth in front of him in her semi-transparent silk nightgown.

"Grandma, what exactly do you want?" What Xiao Chong really wanted to ask was: What are you up to, dressed like that and not letting me do anything?

"Getting ready for bed, what do you want? Let me tell you, we're not that close, you know. If you're going to do anything reckless, you'd better think about the consequences!" Nami spoke while bending over and lowering her chest, her unbraced breasts inadvertently revealing her ample bosom.

Xiao Chong, a virile young man, couldn't resist such temptation. Just as he was about to pounce on her, he saw the electrode gun in her hand and immediately suppressed his surging blood. However, no matter how hard he tried, blood kept flowing from his nose.

“You slutty Japanese bitch…” Xiao Chong cursed angrily, but before he could finish, he heard the hissing sound of the electrode gun that terrified him. He quickly covered his nose and mouth. Little did he know that the very thing he had cursed today would ultimately turn him into a dog.

Nami handed him a tissue and said, “I’m used to sleeping like this, so just bear with it. I haven’t slept well these past two nights without pajamas, so consider tonight a favor! But don’t get any funny ideas, this gun is no joke!”

“Hmph, just you wait, I’ll teach you a lesson sooner or later!” Xiao Chong said hatefully.

"Hehe, you should clean your nose first! Quick, quick, it's dripping again!" Nami exclaimed with a laugh. It wouldn't be good if it dripped onto the bed; people would misunderstand.

Another sleepless night! Xiao Chong didn't know how long this would last. This morning, he had a wet dream. He'd never suffered like this before, except in the army. This time, he was truly tormented by this little Japanese woman. But what secretly pleased him was that every morning when he woke up, he would find this little girl nestled in his arms, no matter how they had separated the night before, or what position they had fallen asleep in. Even placing a pillow between them didn't help. He was already awake when his period was about to start, but feeling a soft woman in his arms, he didn't care and nuzzled her a few times. Then, he couldn't stop himself, getting wet from the inside out, even wetting a certain part of Nami's body! He couldn't help it; he'd eaten too much roast goose these past few days, the nutrition was too abundant!

"Mmm!" The little girl seemed to enjoy it, shifting closer to Xiao Chong and letting out a soft moan. But she instantly snapped awake, yelling, "Oh my god, why are you hugging me?"

"Grandma, you hugged me first!" Xiao Chong protested innocently.

"Really? Huh, why is this wet? What, what is this?" Nami asked in surprise, touching a wet and slippery spot on her body.

"Miss, I've always said men and women shouldn't be so close, it's inconvenient to sleep together!" Xiao Chong rolled his eyes.

"What? I asked you what this is? What do you mean by inconvenient?" Nami's string of "what"s almost made Xiao Chong dizzy.

"A normal woman has those few days every month, and a normal, single man has those two or three times a month!" Xiao Chong solemnly lectured Nami on physiology.

"This, this is your... Oh, go to hell!" Nami screamed and rushed to the bathroom.

"Hmph, all that pretense! You'll be craving it later! See if you dare sleep with me again!" Xiao Chong cursed as he got up to find some clean clothes.

When Chen Ji came in, he saw that Xiao Chong's eyes were still red and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Chong, although I'm an old man who's been through it all and understands the hardships of young people, sometimes you have to know your limits. You should know when to stop!"

Xiao Chong could only nod with a wry smile, unable to explain. How could such a thing be explained? He wanted to tell people, "I don't know her at all. We slept together for three nights, and I didn't touch her at all!" Only a ghost would believe that. Even if he told Xiao Xiao Chong, he would shake his head like a rattle drum, because every time he saw his parents in their room, they were always cuddling and fighting!

In Chapter Seven of the Independent Chapter, a rival suddenly appears.

Old C used his connections to get Xiao Chong a replacement document, which arrived a month later via express airmail. Xiao Chong originally wanted to take the document to work at the affiliated hospital, but after thinking about it, he stopped. Although he was tired of roast goose and had become addicted to rice noodles, learning to make roast goose had become his passion. However, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip to Guangcheng. Finding a job was just a cover; developing the so-called "white" business that Qi Fei'er talked about was the real deal. Since

the job was just a pretext, what difference did it make where he worked? The real issue was that he had no money. He had already meticulously planned his next move, but now wasn't the time, simply because he didn't have enough money! Xiao Chong was incredibly stubborn. When he left, he only took 100,000 yuan from Qi Feier, swearing that he would use it to build his own empire in Guangcheng, and that within ten years, he would be stronger than Longji! Now, the 100,000 yuan had truly gone down the drain, and into the mud. However, he still believed in himself. He was the kind of person who wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin. Even if he saw the coffin but couldn't sleep in it for a day, he still wouldn't cry. So now he could only endure, bear it, and wait for the day he could charge forward, just like he did with Nami, waiting until the day he could deal with her thoroughly. To vent his anger,

Nami still stubbornly continued to live with him. Xiao Chong couldn't understand what this Japanese woman was thinking. If she didn't want to be with him, why did she keep clinging to him in this ambiguous way? If they had just met and weren't familiar with each other, that would be understandable. But it had been over a month. If it were a one-night stand, they would have had it over thirty times. If they were a couple who got hot at first touch, they would probably have had it over a hundred times. But even now, she was still aloof towards Xiao Chong. At most, she would cling to him when she woke up and refuse to leave, but as soon as Xiao Chong made a move, she would immediately pull out the electrode gun that was always within half a foot of her.

Xiao Chong thought and thought but couldn't come to a good conclusion. He could only categorize her as a pervert and stopped paying attention to her. Instead, he focused his attention on the roast goose. The roast goose was so obedient. He could make it yellow or red as he wanted, and it would turn red as he wanted. In short, he can do whatever he wants.

One evening three months later, Xiao Chong was busy serving customers who had come to eat roast goose after work. Although roast goose was still the main product they sold, the variety had increased significantly. There were roast goose rice noodles, roast goose hot and sour noodles, roast goose fast food... These were all Xiao Chong's ideas. Chen Jijin rarely managed the shop anymore. He had basically handed the entire shop over to Xiao Chong. He would just come in the morning to open the shop and in the evening to settle accounts. Sometimes he would disappear for three to five days. Now that he had taken over the convenience store and combined it into a four-storey mid-range restaurant, the daily income was equivalent to his previous monthly income. Why should he care about so much? He had worked hard for most of his life and it was time to enjoy himself. He would rather go out and have fun than not be so carefree.

"Boss, give me a bowl of roast goose rice noodles!" A voice rang out before anyone even entered. Xiao Chong didn't need to look; he knew it was Nami. This girl ate a bowl of roast goose rice noodles every day. Sometimes Xiao Chong really wanted to cut open her stomach to see what it was made of—how could it be so resilient?

Xiao Chong silently told the apprentice to go to the kitchen to prepare the noodles, while he himself sat cross-legged next to the cashier. He was now the second boss; he didn't need to do anything personally anymore. The process of preparing the noodles was extremely simple: just boil the noodles in water, blanch some greens, add the prepared broth, slice some roast goose, and sprinkle some scallions, and it was ready to serve.

Xiao Chong just sat there reading the newspaper, not even glancing at Nami. Because when he woke up this morning, the girl's pajamas had been accidentally rolled up, revealing her two fair, smooth breasts with two... The crimson breasts rushed into his eyes like robbers, assaulting his visual nerves. Already erect from waking up, he couldn't resist any longer and, without thinking, reached out to rub her two jade-like breasts.

At first, the little girl seemed to be enduring Xiao Chong's rubbing, letting out faint moans. It was hard to tell if she was truly asleep or just pretending. But later, when Xiao Chong couldn't resist taking off his clothes and pressing himself against her, she suddenly opened her eyes, screamed, grabbed the electrode gun, and stabbed Xiao Chong in the body. Xiao Chong collapsed before he could even scream. When he slowly woke up, it was already eight o'clock. Fortunately, Chen Jijin hadn't come, otherwise Xiao Chong would have not only been scolded but might also have had his pay docked, as a long line of people had already formed at the door to buy roast goose. Xiao Chong looked at the bed; that damned Nami was nowhere to be seen, and where she had lain was a puddle of water that had almost dried.

"You pervert, you slut, you bastard..." Xiao Chong cursed incessantly as he quickly put the roast goose into the earthen oven to roast and then went to open the door. There was no other way; he could only sell the leftover roast goose from yesterday in the morning! Chen Jijin generally didn't advocate selling leftover roast goose to customers; at most, he would mix a small amount of leftover with freshly roasted goose from today! Looking at those who bought leftover roast goose, Xiao Chong silently thought: Don't blame me if you get sick; blame that little Japanese bitch! She's the one who prevented you from getting fresh roast goose!

Nami ignored Xiao Chong, sat down, and stared blankly, lost in thought. But the person who followed her in plopped down next to her and said, "Nurse Nami, what a coincidence! You also like to eat roast goose here!"

"Director He, hello! Yes, I come here often!" Nami shifted slightly awkwardly inside. Xiao Chong's eyes were on the newspaper, but his mind was on the table. Hearing this, he couldn't help but think to himself, "You don't just come often, you practically stay here every day!"

"Hehe, it seems we're really destined to meet!" said Director He, a man who looked to be in his thirties with a face full of pockmarks, tetracycline-stained teeth, and premature baldness.

"Oh, really?" Nami said indifferently, involuntarily covering her mouth; this guy's mouth stinks!

"Nurse Nami, I heard you're Japanese, is that true?" Director He tried to make conversation.

"Yes!" Nami wasn't in the mood to pay him any attention, her eyes constantly darting towards Xiao Chong, hoping he would come to her rescue. But Xiao Chong seemed preoccupied with reading the newspaper, not even glancing at her! Was he still angry about what happened this morning? Sigh, was I too harsh? I wonder if I've electrocuted him! Nami worriedly thought.

"Really? I really can't tell, your Chinese is so fluent, I thought you were from Beijing!" Director He's exaggerated manner was a bit annoying.

"Really? Director He, you're really joking!" Nami didn't find it funny at all. Xiao Chong didn't find it funny either.

"Hehe, I'm not kidding, Nami, let me tell you, the first time I saw you, I felt a special connection with you, you looked just like one of my cousins. You really do look like her, so beautiful, with a great figure, and your skin is just as fair..." Director He chattered on and on, trying to get closer to Nami. He kept saying she looked like his cousin, then that she was as beautiful as a flower and as charming as Daiyu. His tongue wasn't just three inches long, it was seven inches long and never stopped. Once he started praising someone, it was like he was risking his life. Nami was really about to collapse.

Xiao Chong was still looking at the newspaper, but then he seemed to have suddenly seen a really funny joke and burst out laughing: "That's so damn funny!"

Director He immediately turned around and opened his mouth to curse, but seeing that the other person was just looking at the newspaper and wasn't making fun of him, he had to give up.

The waiter had already brought Nami's rice noodles. She was about to eat, but when she saw Director He's tetracycline-stained teeth and the stench he was spitting at her, she immediately lost her appetite.

"What's wrong? Nami, are you not feeling well?" Director He asked with excessive concern.

"Yes, I suddenly lost my appetite! Director He, aren't you going to order anything?" Nami asked sarcastically. Xiao Chong laughed, thinking, "So you know when you're not feeling well? You usually eat a lot, don't you? You dare to call me now."

"What's wrong? Is the food here not to your liking? How about I go get you some Western food?" Director He invited her with great concern.

"No, I'm a little tired, I'll go first!" Nami couldn't stand this person anymore, but since they worked in the same department, she didn't dare offend him, so she stood up and started to leave.

"Then I'll see you out! I'll see you out!" Director He chased after her.

Just as Nami was about to leave, Xiao Chong immediately put down his newspaper and grabbed Nami, who was about to step out the door.

Nami was very happy, her earlier unpleasantness gone; he was finally willing to talk to her.

"Hey, boss, what are you doing? What's the meaning of you holding my girlfriend's hand like this? Believe me or not, I'll have someone smash up your shop!" Director He looked more like a gangster than a doctor.

"Hehe, sorry, sorry, I just wanted to remind your girlfriend that she hasn't paid yet!" Xiao Chong said, letting go of Nami's hand.

Nami glared at Xiao Chong resentfully, turned around, and rushed out the door.

"Nami, Nami, wait for me!" Director He was about to chase after him, but Xiao Chong had already blocked his way and said very politely, "Sir, would you please pay the bill first?"

Director He immediately rummaged through his pockets, then pulled out three crumpled two-yuan bills and placed them on the cashier's counter before chasing after him.

Three minutes later, Director He slunk back in like a defeated stray dog.

"Sir, would you like some roast goose noodles?" Xiao Chong asked politely. Although he really wanted to tell this guy to go eat shit, the business belonged to others, not him. "The customer is God," was something Chen Jijin had always taught him.

"Eat my ass!" Director He yelled at Xiao Chong. Nami had long since disappeared when he chased after him, so he was in a bad mood!

"Then may I ask what brings you here, sir?" Xiao Chong asked with a seemingly well-mannered smile. In reality, he was furious, very furious! You ignorant fool, daring to hit on my girl and then yelling at me, you're asking for trouble!

"Didn't I just give you six yuan? You still owe me one yuan in change!" Director He said very seriously.

"Oh! Right, right! You still have one yuan here!" Xiao Chong said, quickly handing over a coin, the kind he often gave to beggars, and then asked with a smile, "Sir, would you like anything else?"

"Hehe, boss, you really know how to do business, may you become rich! I didn't really want anything, but your service is so good, so I'll have a bowl of roast goose noodles!" Director He said, walking towards the table.

"Alright! I'll cook it for you myself!" Xiao Chong agreed and went into the kitchen, shooing the apprentice out. He was going to personally make Director He a top-notch roast goose noodle soup.

After the noodles were cooked, he scooped them out and put them in a large bowl. Then, he lowered his head and frantically scratched his head with both hands, creating a dense, fine snowflake effect that landed on the noodles. Then, he covered one nostril with one hand and "gulp," a stream of yellowish-green snot fell onto the bowl. He hadn't fully recovered from a cold yet. Just as he was about to add broth to the noodles, a cockroach passed by. He grabbed a fly swatter and swatted it dead, then quickly disguised it and stuffed it into a piece of roast goose. To make sure Director He was happy and reassured, he deliberately added two extra pieces of leftover roast goose, along with broth and scallions. A bowl of Xiao Chong's Secret Recipe Roast Goose Noodle Soup was ready! But, is this stuff edible? It's disgusting!

"Sir, your rice noodles are here! Eat them while they're hot, they won't taste good when they're cold!" Xiao Chong enthusiastically served the rice noodles to Director He.

"Hmm!" Director He acted as if he were a customer who needed to be treated like royalty.

"Sir, would you like a cup of green tea? I don't usually serve it to ordinary customers, only to people of your status and position. It's top-grade Tieguanyin!" Xiao Chong whispered in Director He's ear, but his eyes were fixed on Director He putting the roast goose containing the cockroach into his mouth.

"Hehe, I often drink Pulongjing tea, but I rarely drink Tieguanyin. People say it's fragrant, but I find it has a slightly unpleasant, grassy taste. But since the boss is so generous, give me a big cup!" As Director He spoke, Xiaoqiang was already smashed to pieces in his mouth, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Xiao Chong watched this scene, his nose and eyes scrunching up, his mind constantly chanting: "Damn it, get out of here!" But he forced a smile that was more like a grimace and said to Director He, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there. I'll be right there!" It was really too much for him; he had to make so many expressions all at once.

Xiao Chong walked to the sterilizer, took a 500ml cup, and thought... Feeling it wasn't enough, he switched to a 1000ml condiment cup, added tea leaves, and went into the kitchen. The apprentice was a little puzzled; the boiling water was right next to the sterilizer, so what was his master doing in the kitchen? He couldn't help but steal a glance, and that one glance sent chills down his spine. He had accidentally seen his master secretly taking out a family heirloom, more than twice his own, and pouring tea into a cup. The tea was a pale yellow; it seemed his master was a bit feverish. After finally brewing most of the tea, the master ran out again, grabbed the kettle, and went back in. When he came out, he was holding a large cup of steaming "premium" Tieguanyin tea, which he placed in front of the fat man.

"..." Director He continued eating his rice noodles without even nodding, as if it were all perfectly natural. Only after finishing did he pick up his cup and slowly sip his tea, leaving the apprentice dumbfounded.

Director He was very satisfied with his meal, finishing the rice noodles and broth along with the sauce. He also slowly sipped his tea until only tea leaves remained before tossing down five yuan and leaving.

Xiao Chong watched his departing figure with a cold smile, while the apprentice felt a chill run down his spine looking at the empty bowl and cup on the table.

After Director He left, Nami suddenly appeared from somewhere, her face grim. She stuffed half a roast goose leg into her mouth, ignored everyone, and went straight into the storeroom, never to emerge again.

"That's it!" Xiao Chong's command sent the apprentice and the waiters into a panic. They immediately cleared away the tables and chairs, hung the butchered and marinated goose on the hook, and fled as if their lives depended on it. A major battle was about to break out; anyone who stayed was a fool.
