Chapter 772: Fighting Courage
The industries of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce are not difficult to find.

Fu Qingzhou had dealt with the Nebula Chamber of Commerce several times before, so he easily led Wu Yan to find the Chamber of Commerce's assets.

This is a restaurant, but it is too early and it has not yet opened to welcome customers. Fu Qingzhou knocked on the door for a long time but no one responded.

Seeing this, Wu Yan raised his foot.

"Eh?"

Fu Qingzhou quickly stopped him: "What are you doing?"

"Kick the door." Wu Yan said as a matter of course: "What else?"

"...I regret bringing you along."

Fu Qingzhou sighed and tilted his head: "We are not here to attack or beat anyone, why are we in such a hurry? Let's go, have some breakfast and wait for them to open the door."

The restaurant was closed early in the morning, but some shops on the street had already opened.

The two found a shop to sit down, ordered a few trays of buns, ordered a pot of hot tea, and began to eat leisurely.

After Fu Qingzhou took a few bites, he looked at Wu Yan who was chewing slowly and suddenly smiled: "You won't be starving all day now, right?"

"Not so hungry anymore."

Wu Yan said calmly: "After having Zhu Mei, I won't be so hungry all the time."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Does this make sense?"

"I can't explain it clearly." Wu Yan seemed too lazy to explain.

Fu Qingzhou blinked and said, "Come to think of it, why did you always look like you were starving to death? Can you tell me?"

Wu Yan raised his head and looked at him with some doubt: "Is this important?"

"It's not important."

Fu Qingzhou drank hot tea and said leisurely: "Sitting here to eat, why don't we just chat? Isn't it just about these random things to chat about?"

"That's it." Wu Yan understood, then lowered his head, looked at the buns in the bowl, and said slowly: "Actually, it's because I was very hungry when I was a child."

He briefly told his story.

About his drunken father, seriously ill mother, room he couldn't get out of, starving dog, and the ruthless child... and the collapsed cabinet and broken door. (For details, see the second half of "The Glutton" in the first chapter of Jinghua Volume)

Fu Qingzhou felt a little sad at first, but was shocked when he heard the latter part.

"you……"

His eyes widened: "Into your mother's room?"

"Yeah." Wu Yan took a bite of the bun: "So, I survived."

Fu Qingzhou's pupils trembled: "You won't, eat it..."

"Yes." Wu Yan raised his head and looked at him calmly: "I ate the dog."

"Uh...dog?" Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

"correct."

Wu Yan said frankly: "I survived because I ate dog meat... But the smell in the house was already very bad at that time. I ate and vomited at the same time, and I ate the vomited food again because I was hungry. I will never forget that smell for the rest of my life."

"so……"

He rarely showed a trace of sadness: "I will never eat dog meat again in my life."

Fu Qingzhou sighed.

"and many more."

Wu Yan suddenly raised his head and asked, "Did you think I wasn't eating dog meat just now?"

Fu Qingzhou laughed awkwardly: "How is that possible? What else could it be if not dog meat?"

Wu Yan's eyes turned strange and he was about to speak again when the door of the restaurant across the street opened and the waiter came out yawning.

Fu Qingzhou felt relieved and winked: "Let's go."

The two put the breakfast money on the table and immediately walked towards the restaurant.

But they never expected that before they could open their mouths, the waiter's eyes lit up when he saw them: "Oh, are you Young Master Fu and Young Master Wu?" Fu Qingzhou and Wu Yan were both stunned.

"You knew we were coming?"

"Me? Young Master Wu?"

The two spoke at the same time, and then Fu Qingzhou looked at Wu Yan speechlessly...Dude, your focus is too weird.

The waiter smiled and said, "Gentlemen, the girl is waiting for you in the building, please come in."

girl?

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

But he didn't say anything, just smiled, nodded slightly to the waiter, and walked in holding the handle of the knife.

Wu Yan followed in with the same expressionless face, but after quickly looking around, he said calmly, "There's an ambush."

The waiter's expression tightened.

Fu Qingzhou just smiled and said, "If there is, then there is. They are the host and we are the guests. Isn't it normal for the host to have some bodyguards to guard against bad guests?"

"Master Fu, you are really brave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clear and bright female voice coming from upstairs.

Looking up, I saw a woman standing by the railing on the second floor. She was wearing a purple long skirt, the hem of her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth. Her face was beautiful and otherworldly, her eyes were affectionate like autumn water, and between her brows there was an elegant temperament that was otherworldly.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, raised his head and looked directly at the woman, and said leisurely: "You know who we are, but we don't know who you are. This is not fair."

"You are the special envoy of Mingjian Pavilion, and your intelligence ability is not inferior to Qianfang Baixiao Tower. Could it be that you really don't know my identity?"

The woman in purple smiled and asked back.

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "I changed into casual clothes and came here. You called me Young Hero, but I don't intend to meet you as an official... Are you sure you want me to investigate you?"

"But Master Fu." The purple-clothed woman said leisurely, "You have captured Chu Xianghong, and she told you the name of our Chamber of Commerce President Shen. You came here on purpose, so you must be here to discuss official business. If you are talking about official business, how can you not be an official?"

Fu Qingzhou's eyes were slightly stern.

He took two steps forward and said calmly, "If I were an official, you commoners would greet me with greetings."

"So, Mr. Fu, are you really here to discuss business as a man from the martial arts world?" the purple-clothed woman asked with a smile.

Fu Qingzhou spread his hands: "Of course."

The most direct reason for not coming here as Mingjian Pavilion is... to show weakness.

It’s not like he hasn’t checked Shen Chuke.

This is a very proud person. He was able to rise from a commoner in the mountains to become the richest man in Dayan today. He must be a very capable person. Although such a person can bend and stretch, he will not truly submit to you until he sees your ability.

Fu Qingzhou knew that his rise to prominence was too short and that luck played a large part in it. If he used his official status to put pressure on Shen Chuke, even if Shen Chuke showed up and spoke nicely to him, the first impression between the two would have been greatly reduced.

Therefore, I have to show weakness.

Visit the other party as a young martial arts hero and follow their rules... Only in this way can you have a chance to win their favor and thus instigate a rebellion.

Who can't bend and stretch?

Fu Qingzhou never cares about lowering his posture. As long as he can achieve his goal, who says he has to be too arrogant?
He was not very curious about why Shen Chuke knew he was coming.

These issues can be discussed later.

Now let’s talk about…

"girl."

He clasped his fists towards the purple-clothed woman and said, "I know that meeting President Shen requires some tests... Since you know I'm coming, it saves a lot of trouble. If there is anything, just arrange it directly."

"it is good."

The purple-clothed woman also smiled and said, "Master Fu is extremely powerful, and Master Wu has a strange swordsmanship. Let's skip the ordinary fighting and just fight with words."

"How about a literary fight?" Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

The purple-clothed woman smiled and said, "Please go upstairs and let's fight."
