Chapter 1956

Could Zhao Chi really be her slave?

Zhao Chi had indeed told Li Ruanyu everything about him and Shangguan Ting.

After all, Li Ruanyu was very sensitive about Shangguan Ting, so in bed she'd made Zhao Chi confess everything in detail.

Of course, Zhao Chi didn't go into too much detail about what happened in Shopkeeper Wanyan's office.

That kind of thing couldn't be described in too much detail anyway.

But later, when Shangguan Ting gave him the "Fuxi Qin Fragment," and Zhao Chi gave Shangguan Ting fashion items in return, Zhao Chi still told Li Ruanyu about it.

Li Ruanyu was sharp-witted.

So she figured it out immediately.

Seeing Shangguan Ting say nothing, Li Ruanyu said directly: "Want fashion items? Fine, trade me World Stones!"

World Stones?

Damn!

Zhao Chi had just been thinking about how to price it, only considering between gold coins and props, and had never thought about World Stones.

Li Ruanyu was ruthless after all.

When she asked, she asked for the big stuff.

"World Stones? Are you still dreaming?" Shangguan Ting refused immediately.

Li Ruanyu said: "Doesn't your team still have 1 unused World Stone? I can trade a large amount of fashion items for it—the same kind Zhao Chi gave you last time, same specs, same attributes, quantity… a lot. Think about it?"

Shangguan Ting fell silent.

Her gaze dropped, seemingly thinking.

After a few seconds she shook her head: "No, can't trade, but next time I can. This time first…"

"No! Only trading for World Stones."

Before Shangguan Ting could finish, Li Ruanyu cut her off flatly.

Shangguan Ting looked at Zhao Chi.

Li Ruanyu said domineeringly: "Don't look at him! His matters are decided by me! Don't look for him in the future either—come to me for anything! I can make decisions on all his affairs!"

Shangguan Ting glanced at Zhao Chi, actually showing a regretful expression.

"Being a slave to this kind of woman—truly a spineless weakling!"

"You're full of crap! You're the spineless one!" Li Ruanyu cursed right back.

"Slut!"

"That's you!"

"Hmph! Dog and bitch!"

Shangguan Ting left without looking back.

High heels stomped heavily on the ground, click click click click… as if trying to stomp a few holes in the floor.

Li Ruanyu watched Shangguan Ting's back with a sidelong glance.

After she walked far away, her gaze immediately softened.

The cold, pretty face also melted like ice and snow, becoming as gentle as spring.

"Are you really willing to be big sister's little slave?" Li Ruanyu said with a light laugh, looking into Zhao Chi's eyes.

Zhao Chi said: "Wasn't that just to cooperate with you? And your expressions change way too fast—one moment you were furious, now you're smiling so happily again."

"Of course I'm happy, I've got an extra little slave, how could I not be happy? And today's a good day, good things are going to happen, can't let her affect my mood."

"What good thing?"

"You'll know in a bit, it's about to start, let's go take our seats."

"Okay."

Su Qin was looking around in her seat.

First she saw Shangguan Ting, face full of grievance, walking over in a huff.

She sat down heavily on the right side of the first row.

The first row was all big sofas; Shangguan Ting dropped down hard, bounced up and jiggled twice, which made her even angrier.

After a while, she saw Li Ruanyu and Zhao Chi appear separately.

Li Ruanyu sat in the seat on the left of the first row, Zhao Chi walked back.

"How was it, Zhao Chi, are you okay?"

From several seats away, Su Qin immediately showed concern.

"I'm fine." Zhao Chi moved over and sat beside Su Qin: "Ruan… how did Captain Li get over there? Did you talk to her?"

"It was me." Su Qin nodded: "I was a bit worried about you… I didn't hold you up, did I?"

"No, well done."

"Oh, hehe."

At this moment, a person walked up onto the high platform in front.

His build was extremely imposing.

Estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall, burly and mighty.

It was the captain of the Binghe main team, Guan Zhiyong.

For some reason, Zhao Chi thought of Guan Yu.

Perhaps because of the same surname.

But his smile was very warm and gentle.

"Everyone quiet down, those still standing please take your seats quickly, our annual year-end conference is about to begin."

The bustling chatter in the hall immediately fell silent, leaving only the sound of chairs scraping.

They waited another moment.

Guan Zhiyong nodded to those below the stage.

"Alright, it's already ten o'clock, so let's begin this year's year-end conference immediately!

"In the past, my time was truly limited, and it was always Deputy Captain Gu Zhan who hosted these kinds of meetings. But for this last meeting of the year, I still wanted to come back and meet everyone face to face.

"Everyone has done very well this month, with outstanding results. Although we can't compare with those top main squads, our Binghe main squad can still rank among the top few among all the parallel main squads.

"But let's leave the celebrations for later. First, let us observe a moment of silence for the teammates who sacrificed themselves this month.

"Thank them for everything they did, thank them for all their dedication. We will not forget them, and their names will forever be engraved on the Poshi Army's memorial wall, shining bright!

"Everyone, please rise!"

Another wave of noise.

But no one spoke.

Everyone stood quietly, with occasional soft sighs drifting through.

In this world, death is very common.

But in this world, feelings are equally abundant.

What the lords were thinking of at this moment were their departed loved ones, close friends, and subordinates.

Almost everyone had experienced the pain of such partings of life and death.

After death, only those close to them can remember them.

This one minute belonged to them.

One minute passed quickly.

Guan Zhiyong's deep voice rang out: "The moment of silence is over. Everyone, please be seated."

Another burst of noisy sounds.

Guan Zhiyong said: "Alright, let's officially begin the year-end conference. First, please welcome Deputy Captain Lu to summarize this year's situation."

Applause rang out.

A woman in a full professional outfit walked gracefully onto the stage.

Her style of dress was similar to Li Ruanyu and the others, but like Su Qin, she also wore pants.

She wore a pair of glasses, was around thirty years old, and looked a bit like a teaching director.

She walked to the center of the stage, waved her hand casually, and a white elliptical light screen appeared above.

The light screen wasn't large.

There were some text and data on it, and Zhao Chi, sitting on the side, could see it very clearly.

Su Qin turned her head and leaned close to Zhao Chi's ear: "That's Lu Yibing, the deputy captain of the Binghe main squad. She's not a combat type—she's in charge of intelligence-related work."
