Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Although everyone knew the CPPCC election was just going through the motions, the necessary formalities were all present.

Before leaving, Chen Yi specially prepared some Green Breath Berries for his father. Whether useful or not, the 30% goodwill from Level 3 Pulp Fruit certainly wouldn't hurt.

Fang Man Yi also attached great importance to this, requiring the whole family to mobilize collectively to cheer for Chen Congyu. Even elder brother Chen Heng couldn't escape using his special forces training as an excuse.

Little sister Chen Rongxi was also brought out from school, pouting her lips while sitting in the car, saying: "We can't even go in, so how are we supposed to cheer?"

"Your father knows you're outside cheering for him." Fang Man Yi coaxed her daughter like a child.

Coincidentally, Chen Rongxi fell for this, and after getting a donut, she stopped making a sound.

Inside the meeting hall.

The committee members attended the meeting seriously, listened to reports seriously, took their subsidies and left seriously, using a very long, very long time...

The ***** list was announced, Chen Congyu made the list, and only then did Fang Man Yi relax, asking: "What do you all want to eat tonight?"

"You're going to cook?" Chen Rongxi deliberately looked at her mother with a surprised expression.

Fang Man Yi feigned anger: "Didn't I cook during the previous period?"

"That's because our chef is gone." Chen Rongxi pouted, then counted on her fingers: "I want rice, lily bulbs, celery, especially tender Chinese cabbage, and fruit after the meal, there must be strawberries and tomatoes, small ones..."

Chen Heng and Chen Yi looked at each other suspiciously, the former hesitantly asked: "Mom, Dad definitely can't come back tonight, right? There must be a celebratory dinner."

"Just us eating." Fang Man Yi saw her two sons looking at her disbelievingly, and said angrily: "Unwilling to eat with me?"

Chen Yi quickly said: "You're so busy, why not just let the chef make it?"

"I was busy before because I had to hold up the family, your grandfather's health wasn't good, and at that time there was only the Chen Group, without semi-official institutions like charity foundations to help, it was easy to be swallowed up by others." Fang Man Yi spoke calmly, but it made the two brothers fall silent at once.

"After this, Dad will be a Director-General level cadre, really fast." Chen Heng suddenly added.

Chen Yi also quickly nodded, hurriedly saying: "Yes, regardless of whether our future steps succeed or not, Dad can at least hold the position of ***** for 20 years."

"Those officials will be anxious to death." Chen Heng cooperated very well.

Fang Man Yi smiled faintly, looking at Chen Yi: "Help your father well, the process of entering the United Front Work Department is still troublesome."

Chen Yi nodded repeatedly.

Uncle Chen Rongjie did things step by step in the political world, and now he was just a Deputy Division-level Cadre. Great Uncle Fang Zhennan was even older, and only with difficulty had he reached Bureau Director Level. Now Chen Congyu had ascended in one step, brilliantly completing the transformation from the business world to the political world, who knew how many people were muttering in secret. If he were to return from the second line to the first line, that would truly break the normal procedure of cadre appointment, and they couldn't help but be cautious.

After returning home, Vice Chairman Chen Congyu indeed called—there was an engagement for dinner.

But Lady Fang Man Yi still prepared a huge table of food, not only Chinese cuisine, but also a large pot of Swiss Cheese Fondue, a very famous Swiss delicacy, for which she had trained for several months—of course, she had also trained the Chen family children for several months.

"Let's call a few more people over, that counts as celebrating." Chen Rongxi dipped French bread into the melted soup and ate it, actually belonging to sneaking food.

Fang Man Yi thought for a moment and said: "Today is not suitable for inviting relatives and friends..."

Chen Congyu entering the political circle was probably something that would make many people jealous, cold treatment was the best method.

"But there's so much stuff, we won't be able to finish it, right." Chen Rongxi had her mouth stuffed full, but since she wasn't sitting in her seat, it didn't count as officially starting the meal.

Chen Yi looked at his little sister, shrugged and said: "I know a friend who can definitely eat them all. Hmm... called Yin Senyong, maybe we can invite him to be Dad's bodyguard, just right to meet him."

"Bodyguard? Do you think Dad is in danger?" Chen Heng immediately furrowed his brow.

Chen Yi hurriedly said: "Not to the point of danger, just feel there's always a need."

Fang Man Yi nodded in agreement, saying: "The company's security guards are no longer suitable to use, ***** also don't know if bodyguards are equipped..."

Chen Heng said uneasily: "I can find a few comrades to help, if they transfer to the CPPCC, they definitely would be willing."

For current officers and sergeants, if they cannot be promoted, local government is already becoming increasingly difficult to enter. And their professional skills are also increasingly unsuitable for the work needs of government departments, one can imagine that in a certain future period, the transfer policy might be cancelled.

"Let's do it together." Chen Yi actually didn't quite believe in the combat power of special forces; compared to Martial Arts Hall Students, their level had already fallen behind, and compared to Yin Senyong, they were even worse.

"The staffing issue might not be easy to solve, but we can let them come over first." Fang Man Yi thought of even more, like an idle institution such as the CPPCC, besides keeping a few idlers, had no other rights, so staffing was the most important right.

"Why not just invite them all over today to meet?" Chen Yi patted his elder brother's shoulder, saying: "I'll call Yin Senyong now, you call a few die-hard comrades."

"Okay." Chen Heng agreed in one breath, asking: "The Yin Senyong you mentioned, has he been a bodyguard before?"

"Very strong combat power." Chen Yi did a bodybuilding move, saying: "He belongs to... the kind stronger than Li Xiaolong."

"Really?"

"Can kill a cow with one hand, hit a tiger with one leg." Chen Yi was talking about products from the West Continent; at the level of a Combat Knight, killing a steer with one finger was no problem at all.

So the two made phone calls separately for five minutes.

The little sister looked eagerly at the delicious food on the table, asking: "So we have to wait for people to arrive before we can start eating?"

"Of course." Fang Man Yi put lids on the dishes, so they wouldn't get cold.

Chen Rongxi held her stomach, tears glistening in her eyes.

She actually wasn't hungry, just craving food.

20 minutes later, Yin Senyong arrived at the Chen Residence first.

The whole Chen family welcomed him, the housekeeper smiling heartily prepared slippers for him, then asked: "Do you need parking?"

Yin Senyong thought for a moment, then said in somewhat strange Chinese: "No need, I ran over."

"Oh, okay." The housekeeper strangely retreated.

"Wait for a few more friends, we'll eat together, please sit first." Everyone sat on the sofa, then Fang Man Yi smiled and asked: "Are you a Mediterranean person? Your Chinese is really good."

"No. I'm not from here." Yin Senyong spoke the truth, but besides Chen Yi, no one understood. The skills the family trained from childhood were to make the listener get a certain amount of information, but actually not get the real information.

"How long do you plan to stay in China?"

"I'm following Mr. Chen Yi, the time depends on him." Yin Senyong said very seriously, with a British Gentleman flavor.

Chen Yi hehe laughed, spread his hands to his family: "Yin Senyong is a Family Knight, now should be counted as our family's knight, right?"

Hearing his words, Yin Senyong felt moved and immediately knelt on one knee, answering as if taking an oath: "Yes."

This action left the whole family stunned; Chen Yi, caught off guard, helped him up, but asked in the Western Continent language: "Are you taking an oath?"

"Yes, my lord." Yin Senyong bowed his head slightly.

This was his first time meeting Chen Yi's family; as a direct-line descendant of the Yin Sen Family, Yin Senyong, who planned to spend decades traveling the continent, valued this opportunity greatly.

Divine Art Knight Lord Chen Yi did not yet have a knight following him.

Just like many famous family knights of the West Continent, choosing a suitable "lord" was very important. Yin Senyong had seen the prosperity of Jiangning and the power of the Chen Family locally; for him, taking Chen Yi as his lord was a thought that had long lingered in his mind, and now was a suitable time.

Chen Yi was still hesitating when Yin Senyong began reciting the oath text in the Common Language of the Continent: "I, in the name of the Yin Sen Family..."

"Loyalty to the Oath" and "Honesty" were the basic morality and basic power of Divine Art Knights; once Yin Senyong began reciting the oath text, he would not go back on his word.

"That works too," Chen Yi thought. As a direct-line descendant of the Yin Sen Family, Yin Senyong, who had trained since childhood with the goal of becoming a family knight, was the only choice for a city bodyguard. He was loyal, brave, gentle and refined, elegant and graceful; not only did he possess formidable martial power, but he was also qualified to appear at any occasion.

Perhaps in field battles and large-scale wars, knights and cavalry could not fully exert their combat power. But in cities where absolute force was restricted and the environment was complex, a Combat Skill Level expert was extremely powerful. After all, when he did not have to face anti-tank missiles, 100mm tank cannons, or even heavy machine guns, his tactical choices became very numerous.

A 12.7mm heavy machine gun's bullet kinetic energy was stronger than that of most sniper rifles, only slightly inferior to anti-materiel rifles, but in urban combat, how many people would use sniper rifles? Moreover, even heavy machine gun bullets—one or two rounds were not enough.

If the West Continent and Earth engaged in large-scale war, technology would surely win, just like the West River Water Fortress's performance. But if Earthlings and West Continent People fought, it would surely be Combat Skill Shenjia, because that was the technology used for fighting.

"Chen Yi?" Fang Man Yi poked her son's arm, confused by this foreigner's act of kneeling on one knee.

Chen Yi shook his head slightly and nodded slightly, then helped Yin Senyong up and said: "I accept you."

Yin Senyong indeed joyfully said: "My lord."

"Then... Yin Senyong will be our family knight from now on, until..."

"Thirty years, my lord." This was determined by Yin Senyong's oath prayer; judging by his age, thirty years later would be about when he became a Divine Art Knight.

If not, it would also be time for him to return to the Yin Sen Family.

While speaking, several special military officers arrived at the Chen Residence. As the situation of military retirement/transfer became increasingly severe, the military usually gave officers about to leave active duty half a year or even a year to find jobs, just like school graduates.

Seeing such a lineup, Fang Man Yi also felt satisfied.

The mobile phone rang.

Chen Yi nodded to everyone, walked to the balcony to answer, and said: "I am Chen Yi."

"It's me, Fang Yu, that... didn't you tell me to stay away from Mingde Group..."

"Get to the point."

Fang Yu's attempt to explain was interrupted; he panted heavily on the other end and said: "Ming An Tu, the guy you smashed the car of last time, is threatening me."

"Hmm?"

"If you don't help me, I'll be in big trouble."

"Are you safe now?"

"It's okay."

"Then come to the Chen Residence to see me." Chen Yi finished speaking and hung up the phone.
