Protagonist:
Chen Yi
Chen Yi had Shenjia possessing him, yet he hadn't noticed the perfume scent at all, and couldn't help but be surprised at Chen Rongxi's nose sensitivity, saying with a laugh: "Does the school have a police dog course or something?"
Chen Rongxi flew into a rage, her small round face instantly stretching out, forming a huge deterrent, mouth uttering the maxim "Ao", both hands grabbing onto Chen Yi's waist, starting to twist left and right.
In distant history, this move was very effective, but for the current Chen Yi, it lacked the most basic deterrent force.
Chen Yi groaned and leaned on the stair railing, treating it as an alternative massage.
"Don't think about changing the subject, speak quickly, where did the perfume scent come from?" Chen Rongxi rotated her whole body, also gesturing a vicious appearance.
Chen Yi said with a face full of helplessness: "You're my younger sister, how come you always side with Han Jie?"
"How long has it been since you went to school? If it weren't for Han Jie helping, I would've been bullied to death. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring, let alone... there being a strange perfume scent, isn't that too strange?"
"It's helping you bully people, right." Chen Yi only stated the first proposition, to avoid the perfume issue.
Chen Rongxi's small face reddened, instantly turning angry: "I'm going to make a phone call."
Seeing she was starting to act willfully, Chen Yi didn't stop her either, only secretly took out the Curse Ink, drew a few circles, and cut off the phone call, leaving it at that.
"The landline has a problem?" Little sister stood in the corridor full of surprise, unwilling to lose: "Even telecom is helping you, I'll use my mobile phone."
Chen Yi pretended to sigh, little finger happily drawing circles, and used Curse Ink to break little sister's mobile phone again.
"Beep... zzzzt..."
Fragile electronic tubes cannot resist Curse Ink equivalent to 3 kilograms of force.
"Telecom and Mobile wear the same pair of pants, right." Little sister harbored thick surprise; she naturally wouldn't think a newly bought mobile phone would have a problem.
Chen Yi thought to himself: Telecom one leg, Mobile one leg, where does that put Unicom!
While little sister was tangled up in communication issues, Fang Man Yi arrived late, behind her followed Big Brother Chen Heng wearing a bathrobe. Except for Dad busy receiving guests, this counted as the most complete gathering of the Chen Family.
Fang Man Yi very smoothly grabbed her son's ear, smiling: "How many days since you came home?"
"You're like a cat that adopted a mouse, wanting to pull it into a one-eared mouse." Chen Yi habitually grabbed the other side of his own ear.
Chen Heng leaned against the door watching the excitement, laughing: "You're the adopted mouse, what kind are me and little sister?"
"Little sister is definitely an adopted wild boar, full of wild nature."
Little sister immediately threw down her phone, wildly charging over, unfortunately she was stopped by Chen Yi pushing her forehead with his hand, only able to wave her arms desperately in empty space.
"Big Brother on vacation? How long."
"Still three weeks left." Chen Heng even at home wearing a bathrobe stood with chest out and stomach in, looking exactly like a soldier accepting a leader's inspection.
"Huh? Body Technique Level 7?" Chen Yi habitually made a judgment, eyes instantly widening. Body Technique Level 3 is the level of ordinary special forces, Body Technique Level 5 is roughly the elites among special forces. However, once exceeding Body Technique Level 6, personal physical qualities get enormously improved, and every subsequent advancement will obviously improve constitution.
Body Technique Level 7, in certain aspects of athletic ability, is already world-class Athlete level. From another angle, Body Technique Level 6 and above are the ranks that display Body Technique superiority.
Chen Yi couldn't help but ask curiously: "When did you reach Body Technique Level 7?"
"Half a month ago, when I was in Nanjiang." Chen Heng coughed once, watching Mom go to the newly set up Small Restaurant on the middle of the Second Floor, then said: "From Body Technique Level 5 to 7, I only used three months. At the time I just felt my body was outstanding, now..."
He didn't know how to put it, decisively jumped up, hand lightly swiping the chandelier.
"So powerful!" Chen Rongxi stopped her attacking motion, using her hand to gesture her own height and the chandelier's height.
The Chen Residence house was specially designed; the Second Floor was quite a bit lower than the First Floor Living room, but the bottom of the chandelier was still above 3.5 meters. In other words, Chen Heng's standing reach reached NBA best level. With no talent, the strength of Body Technique is evident.
Even in the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall, students with this level don't exceed a hundred people, and their salary isn't worse than ordinary professional Athletes.
Chen Heng joked: "Future life will be troublesome, one careless moment and you'll bump your head."
Chen Yi worriedly said: "Reached Body Technique Level 7 in 3 months, you encountered something very dangerous, right."
"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Heng glanced at little sister.
Chen Rongxi this time believed Second Brother, immediately turned to ask: "Really? Big Brother, you went on a secret mission?"
She also knew Big Brother's work nature.
"Nothing, I'm not fine and well?" Chen Heng stared hard at Chen Yi.
After a while, Fang Man Yi prepared some snacks and fruit, came out, saw the two sons chatting seriously, and said: "I'll go downstairs to check, the chef is there all day."
After Mom left, Chen Yi gave Chen Heng a look, and said: "Let's go to the game room. Rong Xi?"
"I have to operate Siren tonight." Chen Rongxi actually used half her operation time for practice, which was also permitted by Chen Yi.
Gold Source International's profit was declining, and it was no longer Chen Yi's main money-making item. Lightning Trading and High-Frequency Trading were under attack. Under these circumstances, "Siren" had a tendency to become a toy.
Chen Yi and Chen Heng hid in the game room. Chen Yi habitually took out the Listening Scroll, then immediately stuffed it back, and asked: "You went to Nanjiang to execute a secret mission?"
"Yes."
"How dangerous?"
Chen Heng pondered a moment, told the truth: "One comrade died, two seriously injured."
"Hmm... ever thought about changing environments." What Chen Yi wanted to say was the West Continent. Compared to outsiders, family is of course more trustworthy. Although history has countless stories of brothers fighting each other, that's only because strangers naturally betray trust and abandon righteousness.
"Just serving the country loyally, environment isn't important, don't worry about me. With Body Technique protecting me, I'll pay more attention to safety in the future." Chen Heng patted Chen Yi's shoulder, desolately: "I don't want to be a general, just want to be a small soldier, a good soldier."
"If there's another place that can better accomplish the mission, make life more meaningful?"
"Don't persuade me, Mom already tried."
Chen Yi hehe smiled, said: "Then if there's another region's battle, would you be willing to preside?"
"What?"
"Jiangning's Gold Bond, have you heard of it?"
"Part of it."
Chen Yi pursed his mouth, said: "Tons of gold and platinum, surely they didn't fall from the sky, right."
Chen Heng's eye corner twitched, but he did not ask. To a certain extent, he did not really want to know the specific details.
"We have colonies overseas and need someone to preside over military affairs. Are you interested?" Chen Yi asked directly.
"Colonies overseas..." Chen Heng repeated slowly, then asked: "Does 'we' refer to the Chen Family, or...?"
"Actually just me; I control the shipping routes." Chen Yi said, his chest warm and very comfortable.
Those who speak honestly are rewarded.
Chen Heng sat down, rolled up his robe, and seemed somewhat indecisive.
Colonies overseas!
In the 21st century?
If not for Chen Yi, if not for those real precious metals...
"You want me to go?"
"We have about 1,000 soldiers, over 2,000 paramilitary personnel, and some retired officers managing them. Some are your former comrades." Chen Yi said somewhat awkwardly.
Chen Heng then recalled that he had once introduced retired soldiers to Chen Yi, but he said strangely: "3,000 people is the standard for a division; that's really not few. Is it necessary?"
"The environment is very harsh." Chen Yi said, pausing, then thought and said: "The soldiers are all Level 4 or above in Body Technique, many exceeding Level 5. And perhaps you don't know, Body Technique Level 9 is not the highest level; there is still a very long way behind... The world is different, big brother, the world is about to change, is already changing."
"Does anyone at home know?"
"Grandfather can guess some, but he definitely cannot guess accurately."
"Understood." Chen Heng's personality was steady, but the more he thought about Chen Yi's words, the more excited he became.
An overseas colony, plus an army of 3,000 people's level; if everyone has Level 4 or above in Body Technique, that is indeed... a career!
"Where?" Before his voice fell, Chen Heng added: "I am willing to go."
"In the short term, you cannot come back."
"No problem."
"Next week, you can make a list to see what equipment, weapons, and gear are needed; basic supplies are already ready." Chen Yi blinked, put his arm around his big brother's shoulder, and smiled: "You will be greatly surprised."
Chen Heng laughed: "I have already been greatly surprised."
"Take some people with you. I can help find a reason."
"We don't need to resign; time is free."
"Big brother." Chen Yi called Chen Heng to stop and said seriously: "Don't bring an organized unit."
Chen Heng nodded as if understanding but not quite.
The Second Western River Conference became much more formal.
Jiangning Bank cleared out a floor; not only did it have a large conference hall, but also scattered small conference halls.
After the number of people increased, Chen Yi did not intend to let everyone meet together; the stated reason was to reduce unnecessary meetings, while the real reason was to maintain information asymmetry.
The scale of the West River Association would keep growing; ultimately only a few people could attend meetings, while others, lacking information, must pay more costs.
Mao Li grabbed a thick hardcover bid document and walked into the venue, his expression somewhat hesitant.
Gao Qiu had a deep impression of him, so he personally stepped forward and asked with a smile: "I remember you; you were the one with the lowest bid last time. Do you regret it a bit now?"
"Being able to support the family is not bad, and the workers are paid in full; everyone is happy." Mao Li said insincerely. The bid document clearly stated that the quantity of cotton textiles such as shirts and underwear had increased by more than double; needless to say, the price would surely rise as a result.
Gao Qiu guessed something and said: "Is the factory's production capacity at its limit?"
Last time, Mao Li only took an order for 600,000 pieces, not all 2 million pieces. He did not conceal anything and said straightforwardly: "The previous order still takes a week to complete fully; this time's time requirement is also 40 days. Even with two shifts, I can take at most another 500,000 pieces."
"What about three shifts?"
Mao Li was stunned and laughed: "We don't have that many workers, and three shifts are too expensive; it's better to pay overtime."
Gao Qiu smiled understandingly, but said: "I will loan you money to hire people and buy equipment. However, you must secure the order."
