Chapter 740: Arranging Xiao Long to the 49th City

I handed Xiao Long a tissue, letting him wipe his tears.

"Alright, Xiao Long, you can't keep crying. No matter what you become, this little setback is nothing."

"The setbacks Tian Shi and I have faced are far greater than yours."

"Xiao Long, your elder brother is right. My past wasn't easy either; after graduating from university I entered a government office. Because I come from a poor rural background, people looked down on me even while working there."

"Sigh, it's all thanks to my own gradual effort that I've made it this far."

"Manhood, huh? No setbacks, no growth."

"Just now, your elder brother and I were discussing your matter."

"This issue must be resolved, otherwise it will severely affect your work," Tian Shi sighed.

"Tian Shi, elder brother, I know I'm at fault. I don't want to cry, but I can't help it. Whenever I think of Fang Rui I feel distressed."

"Tian Shi, you tell me how to resolve it; I'll follow whatever you arrange," Xiao Long said, wiping his tears.

"Xiao Long, this matter stems mainly from your father."

"Your father opposes the relationship between you and Fang Rui mainly because Fang Rui's background is poor."

"He despises Fang Rui's family background."

"Just now, Tian Shi and I consulted."

"He decided to recognize Fang Rui as his goddaughter."

"The result is that Fang Rui's background is elevated."

"Then Tian Shi will discuss this with your father."

"When that time comes, I believe your father, upon hearing that Fang Rui's Godfather is Tian Shi,"

"will change his attitude considerably," I said, looking at Xiao Long.

Xiao Long stood there stunned after I finished speaking, not knowing what to say.

At that moment Tian Shi laughed, "Xiao Long, you tell Fang Rui. Find time to bring her to meet me."

"I only have a son, so I'm missing a daughter."

"A complete family of children is wonderful."

"My wife constantly longs for a daughter."

"I trust Fang Rui will fulfill her wish."

"Xiao Long, why are you daydreaming? Hurry up and thank Tian Shi," I prompted Xiao Long.

Xiao Long stood up excitedly,

"Tian Shi, I truly don't know how to thank you."

"I'll bring Fang Rui over to see you tomorrow."

"We'll acknowledge you as our Godfather. I'll bow to you right now."

Xiao Long, having said that, was about to bow to Tian Shi.

Tian Shi laughed heartily,

"Xiao Long, you're such a hothead.

Bowing now doesn't count.

I only recognize Fang Rui as my goddaughter, not you.

Get up quickly. Discuss it with Fang Rui.

After I finish my current tasks, I'll bring my wife and we will hold a ceremony.

Just saying it verbally doesn't count,

there must be a ceremony,

so that everyone believes.

After the bow, I'll talk to my father.

If he dares to criticize my goddaughter again, I won't spare him.

"Xiao Long, you're relieved this time, aren't you? This is a happy event. No more tears, right?"

"Even if you leave Zaocheng with Fang Rui, after leaving Zaocheng where would we find you?"

"From now on just stay quietly in Zaocheng," I laughed.

Xiao Long nodded,

his eyes became wet again,

"Tian Shi, elder brother, I truly don't know how to thank you."

"I'll tell Fang Rui right now, so she'll be happy too."

"With Tian Shi stepping in, I believe my father won't dare cause more trouble."

"Xiao Long, I'm only stepping in to mediate; I can't take charge of your father's affairs."

"Alright, just let Fang Rui know."

"I believe the girlfriend you know, Xiao Long, is also outstanding," Tian Shi said.

"Alright, Tian Shi, I'll give Fang Rui a call," Xiao Long said, standing up.

Tian Shi and I gestured for Xiao Long to go out and make the call.

Xiao Long went out to make the call.

I looked at Tian Shi and smiled, "Tian Shi, you helped Xiao Long resolve this lifelong matter; I thank you. A toast to you."

"What's up, Jianqiang, come, let's drink together. Mainly, I really like this kid Xiao Long."

"Lately seeing his low spirits makes me anxious; as long as I can help him, that's enough."

"My wife truly wants a daughter. She nags me every day, saying a daughter is a little cotton coat, while a son, once married and finds a wife, becomes someone else's child."

I clinked glasses with Tian Shi and drained the wine in the cup.

"Tian Shi, I won't repeat my thanks; I hope Xiao Long's matter is settled like this. Then we'll drink Xiao Long's wedding wine together."

"Right, let the lovers become a family soon; that's also a good deed. I will definitely drink then," Tian Shi said happily.

At that moment, Xiao Long finished the phone call and entered from outside the door.

Looking at Xiao Long's face, a different smile appeared.

It was clear that Fang Rui also agreed to this.

This must be a good thing for Fang Rui.

Invisibly, it raised Fang Rui's standing.

Fang Rui's family background had always been a pain in her heart.

Now that she has become Tian Shi's goddaughter, she is the most prestigious girl in Zaocheng.

It seems Tian Shi truly likes this kid Xiao Long.

Otherwise he wouldn't have meddled in this matter.

Within the system, recognizing a goddaughter also adds a layer of risk.

For the same reason, the reason why Tian Shi helps Xiao Long,

can also be counted as helping me.

Everyone has already become a community of shared interests.

Xiao Long sat down happily,

picked up his cup,

"Tian Shi, Elder, I have already told Fang Rui; she is very happy.

When the day permits, I will bring her to meet Tian Shi.

Then we will together change how we address you, calling you Godfather."

When Xiao Long said that, Tian Shi was thrilled,

"Jianqiang, look, I've just gotten another son. I'm delighted; come, have a drink."

Our cups clinked together again.

After finishing the drink,

I said, "Xiao Long, don't just drink; there's a proper matter arranged for you."

"What proper matter?" Xiao Long replied, "If it means climbing a knife mountain or crossing a sea of fire, I'm willing."

"What sea of fire? Tomorrow, first go to Sijiucheng, to the tenth floor of the International Trade Building; there is a counter that stores items for people.

Go help me find an item. This is the retrieval slip.

The password is."

After speaking, I pulled a document from my pocket.

Xiao Long took it,

"Alright, Elder, tomorrow early I will set out for Sijiucheng."

"Xiao Long alone, I'm a bit uneasy; after all, that place is their domain. Should we add another person?" Tian Shi worried.

"Then let Shi Yong accompany Xiao Long," I said.

"Shi Yong is too reckless," Tian Shi replied.

"Let Ding Li go; you've met Ding Li, the person in charge of Qi He Kuang. He is also familiar with Sijiucheng," I suggested.

"Fine, then let Ding Li go.

Xiao Long, after you obtain the item, return to Zaocheng quickly. Do not linger in Sijiucheng," Tian Shi arranged.

"I understand, Tian Shi. Tomorrow early, I will first go to Qi He Kuang and pick up Uncle Ding Li.

Then we will go together to Sijiucheng," Xiao Long said.

"Alright, that's settled. Let's finish the wine in our cups,

time's getting late; I still have to go to Huaihai tomorrow," I said.

"Tomorrow, what will you do in Huaihai?" Tian Shi asked.

"I will meet a man surnamed Xu; he is Liu Yong's agent.

From now on, in Huaihai, any matter Liu Yong has will be arranged through him.

By the way, his next step is to demand money from Da Heng Group," I explained.

"Oh, these rich boys never appear in person.

Damn, they're all agents. If something goes wrong they don't have to take responsibility.

This guy, you'll meet him, see what role he plays," Tian Shi lit a cigarette.

"Tomorrow, I want to go with Li Jia. Let her also get in touch with their people, so she can handle it later."

"Fine, Li Jia's abilities are unusually strong.

Training her more will be beneficial," Tian Shi said.

I nodded, then signaled to Tian Shi and drained the wine in my cup.
