Chapter 28 Feng Baobao's Unavoidable Way of Apologizing to Zhang Chulan (Second Update)

She didn't dislike Zhou Fengliu, but she also didn't like him. Having to take the first step with someone she didn't know well was a trial for her, the young lady of the Tianxia Group.

...

The next day.

Special training villa.

Zhou Fengliu came to work as usual.

Seeing the cracks in the villa caused by Feng Baobao's actions last night when Zhang Chulan left, he fell into deep thought.

But looking at this crack, let alone Zhang Chulan... even he would have to run away quickly, he couldn't stay any longer.

"Little Zhou, Little Zhou, please."

Just as Zhou Fengliu arrived at work, Feng Baobao came to greet him.

"Where is Zhang Chulan? Zhang Chulan hasn't arrived yet."

She first glanced behind Zhou Fengliu and, seeing that Zhang Chulan was not there, became somewhat anxious. It was clear that she was still blaming herself for forcing Zhang Chulan away last night.

"Didn't he come?"

"Don't come."

“Oh, then it’s possible to join the World Society.” Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin and said.

"What?" Feng Baobao's face clearly froze when she heard the word "joined": "The World Society? He joined the World Society?"

"Ahhh, it's all my fault, what should I do, what should I do..." Feng Baobao felt like the sky had fallen again.

"What are you...doing?"

Just as Feng Baobao was about to go crazy, Zhang Chulan yawned and arrived at the villa.

"You're here? You're late." Zhou Fengliu said that Zhang Chulan was late today. Usually, when he arrived at work, Zhang Chulan would already be training.

"Oh dear, there was nothing I could do, we chatted too late last night." Zhang Chulan smiled at Zhou Fengliu, then looked at Feng Baobao:

"Sister Bao'er... about last night..."

"I'm sorry." Before he could finish speaking, Feng Baobao apologized first: "I apologize to you, I'm sorry... What happened last night was my fault."

"..."

Hearing Feng Baobao apologize to him, Zhang Chulan, who had already calmed down, became even less angry.

"I was wrong too... It's over, it's all over."

Seeing Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan apologizing to each other, Zhou Fengliu felt very bored and silently walked into the villa with his black backpack.

He put down his backpack and then went to lie down in his hammock. He noticed that Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were still apologizing to each other in the distance, and their apologies were getting more and more outrageous.

One bowed, the other bowed even lower, and seeing the other bow even lower, the third silently continued to bow even lower... In the end, it turned into the two of them kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to each other.

Okay, okay...

Is this how you apologize?

Let's see how long you two can keep shipping...

Zhou Fengliu watched quietly until Xu San and Xu Si arrived at the villa, but the two still hadn't stopped.

"What...what are you doing?" Xu San pushed up his glasses, looking at Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, whose foreheads were already red from kowtowing, somewhat bewildered.

“Ah, an apology…” Zhou Fengliu said.

"An apology? This way of apologizing?"

"I don't quite understand it either, but I'm deeply moved..."

"Alright, baby, Chu Lan, that's enough." Xu Si, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, went up and kicked Chu Lan, forcibly interrupting their spellcasting.

"You're here too." Feng Baobao saw Xu San and Xu Si arrive and stood up from the ground in a daze.

"Come and see, see if this college student is doing any better..." Xu Si said, grabbing Zhang Chulan's neck and continuing in a roguish tone:

"I heard our college student was a bit grumpy last night... How are you? Have you calmed down yet?"

"Hehe...Fourth Brother, I don't have a temper at all." Zhang Chulan said, indicating that he didn't, absolutely not.

"Alright, I was just thinking of giving you some advice." Xu Si released Zhang Chulan and then looked at Zhou Fengliu:

"Xiao Zhou, what projects did you two work on last night? Report the expense, and I'll apply for reimbursement for you. I won't let you spend money for nothing."

money?

Hearing Xu Si's words, Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment and then replied, "As for the money, we didn't actually spend any. The meal was paid for by Feng Shayan from the Tianxia Society... As for what happened afterward, Feng Shayan took us to the Tianxia Group to see Feng Zhenghao."

"???"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Xu San and Xu Si were both taken aback and looked at Zhou Fengliu and Zhang Chulan in unison.

"Did you two go see Feng Zhenghao last night?"

"Um..."

Zhou Fengliu nodded.

He didn't intend to hide anything, since it was impossible to hide anyway; a little investigation would reveal the truth. Rather than letting Xu San and Xu Si find out, he might as well tell them himself.

"What do they want to do?" Xu San asked.

"Try to win him over... The offer is quite high, the working hours are flexible, the salary is pretty good, and there are weekends off." Zhou Fengliu glanced at Xu Si, his words carrying a suggestive undertone.

"But don't worry, I didn't join. I have principles. Although I don't earn as much as they do, and the benefits aren't as good, and I don't have weekends off, Fourth Brother has treated me well. Although I love money, I still have principles."

Zhou Fengliu tried to make his words sound as elegant as possible, which moved Xu Si deeply.

Xu Si patted Zhou Fengliu on the shoulder: "Alright, brother, I won't say anything more. I'll definitely apply for the best benefits for you, within my power, I'll do my best to get you the best treatment."

Xu Si was a seasoned veteran. He knew that Zhou Fengliu's words were just empty flattery, but he had to go along with it and couldn't pretend he hadn't heard.

After all, they need to retain Zhou Fengliu, a talented individual...

"I didn't join either..." Zhang Chulan also seized the opportunity to quietly mention it.

With Zhou Fengliu holding the conversation in the lead, everyone's attention was on Zhou Fengliu, not on him. He liked this feeling of being ignored.

After Zhou Fengliu left last night, he also talked with Feng Zhenghao about some things.

He learned about the Eight Extraordinary Skills and some details of the Jia Shen Rebellion in 1944, which undoubtedly introduced the whole story into a more complex background.

He only had a superficial understanding and needed clarification. The only way to resolve his doubts, at present, seemed to be to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony and go to the Celestial Master's Mansion to learn more in-depth knowledge.

...

Just as Xu Si was arguing with Zhou Fengliu, Xu San was deep in thought while stroking his chin, and Zhang Chulan was organizing his thoughts, a black Land Rover drove from a distance toward the villa.

As they approached the special training villa, Feng Shayan, dressed in a black leather jacket, got out of the car.

"That girl from the World Society is here." Near the villa, Feng Baobao scratched her face and pointed to the gate not far away.

Upon hearing Feng Baobao's words, everyone looked over and spotted Feng Shayan.

"Alright, alright, so this young lady from the Tianxia Society is blocking the entrance and trying to steal someone, huh? Do you really think we're so powerful that we don't have anyone to rely on?"

Xu Si said that the Tianxia Society had gone a bit too far and had stopped using underhanded tactics, now opting instead for open and aboveboard blocking.

...

Chapter 29 Feng Shayan: Go out with me! (First update)

"What... what are you doing?" Xu Si interrupted Feng Shayan with a colonel's accent.

Seeing the group surrounding her, Feng Shayan remained calm. She simply pointed to the person next to Xu Si:

"I've come to find him."

"Looking for me?" Zhang Chulan was a little confused: "Miss Feng..."

“No…it’s not you, it’s him, Zhou Fengliu,” Feng Shayan said, naming him.

"What is it?" Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly not expecting Feng Shayan to have come to see him.

"Hmm..." Feng Shayan looked at everyone present and hesitated, "Could we speak in private for a moment?"

"???"

Gee tut.

That expression...

This tone.

There's some juicy gossip.

Just as Feng Shayan was about to pull Zhou Fengliu aside for a private conversation, Xu Si stroked his chin. His keen intuition told him that there was some unspeakable secret between Feng Shayan and Zhou Fengliu...

"Let's just leave it at that. What's the matter?" Zhou Fengliu said, indicating that asking for permission in public would only arouse suspicion.

"Fine... alright." Seeing that Zhou Fengliu refused to go with her, Feng Shayan steeled her resolve and mustered her courage:
