It's said that one's actions are beyond one's control, and one's mind is not in control of one's body. How can one's body be in control of one's own destiny?
...
The next day.
Inside Zhang Wang's office.
Bai Lantao knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
As Zhang Wang's voice rang out, Tao Tao, with dark circles under her eyes, walked into the office.
"Uncle Wang, you're looking for me again?"
Tao Tao used the character "又" (yòu) very cleverly.
It was clear that Tao Tao had anticipated that Zhang Wang's summons was not for anything good.
"Hmm...please sit down."
"I won't sit... I'll just stand," Tao Tao said.
"..."
Zhang Wang glanced at Tao Tao, then sighed and slowly said:
"You don't need to attend classes for a while..."
"?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao was taken aback at first, then showed a look of surprise and asked in return:
"Really? Mr. Wang, you're giving me a day off?"
"Okay, you're on vacation. Pack your bags. You don't need to stay at the martial arts school anymore. Get ready to apply for a job at Huanan Nadutong."
Zhang Wang looked at Tao Tao and said, word by word.
"???"
Upon hearing Zhang Wang's answer, Tao Tao's expression, which had been filled with surprise, seemed to freeze instantly.
What is this doing?
I thought it was a holiday, but it turned out to be a dismissal!
Tao Tao searched her memory for things she had done recently.
She didn't seem to have made any serious mistake that would warrant her dismissal, did she?
"Uncle Wang, you're not going to expel me just because I didn't keep an eye on Zhou Fengliu, are you?"
Tao Tao tentatively asked a question. After thinking for a long time, she realized that this was the only thing that might lead Zhang Wang to fire her.
"no..."
Tao Tao was even more puzzled when she heard Zhang Wang's rejection.
"Then why? No, Master Wang, I've been injured for the Tang Clan, I've shed blood for the Tang Clan... You can't just fire me like that, can you?"
"How am I supposed to explain this to my father-in-law?"
Faced with Tao Tao's explanation, Zhang Wang glanced at her and then retorted, "Who said you were fired?"
"The school has decided to send you to the South China region of NaDuTong to work with Principal Zhou and protect his safety..."
"?"
Tao Tao frowned upon hearing the sound.
Principal Zhou?
Is Zhou Fengliu?
Thinking of Zhou Fengliu, Tao Tao understood even less.
"Me? Protect him? Does he look like someone who needs my protection? Wait... Brother Wang, you don't mean for me to..."
"Cough cough."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Wang interrupted her with two light coughs.
"Tao Tao, some things are better left unsaid. You've been with our Tang Clan for quite a while, and the Tang Clan has feelings for you too."
"But this mission is really important. Going anywhere is a good opportunity for training... to see the outside world, that's great..."
Zhang Wang said this.
Hearing Zhang Wang's words, Tao Tao scratched her face.
"Uncle Wang, it's not that I can't go, but... why should I go? This job could be done by a student, right?"
"This is an opportunity the department is giving you. Haven't you always been dissatisfied with your salary?" Zhang Wang glanced at Tao Tao, then continued:
"Wouldn't you like the opportunity to earn an extra salary at Nadutong? I've heard that Nadutong's benefits are indeed quite good."
Earn an extra salary?
Hearing this, Tao Tao finally became interested.
One job...two salaries.
Surprisingly... it actually suits me quite well.
It's just that the work location has changed.
As long as the salary is right, she's not opposed to it. Plus, it's close to the city center, which makes it convenient for him to buy bags and clothes.
“Think about it, what conditions can you propose…” Zhang Wang said.
"Since you put it that way, I have no choice but to go..." Tao Tao pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said:
"As for the conditions you mentioned... I'm not a greedy person, I just want you to reimburse me for the thousand yuan I spent last night..."
"One thousand yuan?" Zhang Wang was taken aback when he heard this number.
"What, a thousand yuan?"
"that is..."
After listening to Tao Tao's story, Zhang Wang was also at a loss for words regarding Tao Tao's slacking off.
For a thousand dollars... he gave up an opportunity to practice against an outstanding young man like Zhou Fengliu.
This really gave Tao Tao a chance, but Tao Tao is useless...
"Get out, get out, get out..."
With a few shouts from Zhang Wang, Tao Tao was forced to leave the office and return to her dormitory to pack her luggage.
Back in her dormitory, looking at the teachers' dormitory where she had lived for two and a half years, Tao Tao reminisced about her time at Tangmen...
how to say?
She was genuinely a little reluctant to part with it.
Of course.
Her reluctance to part did not last long.
It wasn't until she actually joined the South China region that she realized what it meant to be "so happy she forgot about home."
...
the other side.
Zhou Fengliu didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. Before he could even wash up, he saw Tang Miaoxing waiting for him outside his door.
Upon seeing him come out, Tang Miaoxing first greeted him with a "Good morning," and then handed him a bank card and several equity transfer documents with both hands.
“Manager Zhou… This is the equity transfer agreement that I had drafted overnight, and this bank card… There’s probably a few million in it, please don’t think it’s too little… We’ll add more in this year’s dividends.”
It was clear that Tang Miaoxing valued the Reversal of Heavenly Gang; he had been waiting for Zhou Fengliu to wake up early in the morning to complete the transaction.
Zhou Fengliu was somewhat surprised by Tang Miaoxing's swift action.
“Principal Tang, I know you’re in a hurry… but there really is no need to rush.”
"We have to be in a hurry... A skill like the Reversal of Heavenly Power is highly sought after everywhere..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow.
He has several conceptual techniques like the Reversed Heavenly Dipper...
This may be why he couldn't empathize with Tang Miaoxing.
Speaking of which...
There seem to be two more Eight Extraordinary Techniques manuals in the Devouring Pouch, right?
Zhou Fengliu suddenly thought of the Tongtian Talisman and the Divine Hundred Refinements lying in his Devouring Pouch.
Compared to the conceptual skills obtained from the system, these two extraordinary skills don't seem so "miraculous" anymore...
...
"Since Principal Tang is in such a hurry, then alright..."
Zhou Fengliu glanced at the contract, and after confirming that there were no problems, he signed his name.
Tang Miaoxing felt much more at ease after seeing Zhou Fengliu finish signing.
"Principal Tang, please accept this."
Zhou Fengliu then took the handwritten copy of the Reversed Heavenly Gang Scripture from the Devouring Pouch and handed it to Tang Miaoxing.
Looking at the book of the Reversed Heavenly Principles that he had rejected back then, Tang Miaoxing's feelings were completely different now.
After experiencing how the Reversed Heavenly Gang could neutralize the Dan Shi, he regretted his actions back then and wanted to slap himself twice... He almost missed out on the divine skill.
"Alright, Principal Tang, I'm going to wash up..." After finishing all this, Zhou Fengliu planned to go to the toilet to relieve himself.
Before he could take two steps, he heard Tang Miaoxing call out to him from behind.
"Please wait, Mr. Zhou!"
"Ok?"
