I never imagined today would turn out like this… Hmm, a poor high school student who's been bullied for years has suddenly transformed into the most sought-after prodigy in Dawn City, walking into a banquet for the powerful and wealthy, tsk tsk!
At this point, Zhou Yu looked at Qi Lin again and laughed, "Hey, isn't this kind of change great?"
"Fortunately."
Qi Lin remained calm and said indifferently, "I didn't feel particularly good. Some of those rich people were alright, but most of them looked at me with a condescending gaze, as if it were some kind of favor for them to give me, a poor student, a business card so that I knew their name. I don't like that feeling."
"That's normal."
Zhou Yu shrugged and said calmly, "After all, right now you're just a 'promising exceptional student.' If you want to truly gain the respect of the powerful, you'll have to be a 'powerful exceptional expert.'"
"Including Captain Zhou?" Qi Lin asked softly.
"of course."
Zhou Yu lowered his eyelids, looking at the green fruit wine in the wine glass in his hand, and gently swirled the liquid. "Back then in the office of the dean of students at Shuguang Third Hospital, you were just a lowly poor student with no power or background, so I could do whatever I wanted to you."
I wanted you to sign the contract back then, so you had to sign it for me.
And now?
Things are different now. Although you are still a poor student, you are no longer humble. Although you still lack strength and background, you have potential and have gained the attention and help of the mayor. Even the contract with the pioneering bureau was torn up by the mayor himself.
That's why I'm here today with a wine glass in hand, to raise a toast with you and have an equal exchange.
What about after that?
If you go further and become stronger than me in the future, then you will be just like I was back then, doing whatever you want to the weak.
If you want me to sign a contract then, I have no choice but to sign it.
If you want me to lick your shoes, I'll have to.
Even if you want me to die, I have to die... Hahaha!
At this point, Zhou Yu suddenly shook his head and chuckled, "It's very realistic, isn't it? But this world is just that rubbish, even more rubbish than I described. It's just a pity that I can't change this world; I can only be changed by it."
"Captain Zhou, are you drunk?"
Qi Lin frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly telling me this? Although everyone knows about this, it doesn't sound very nice to talk about it in public."
Fruit wine won't make you drunk.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, looked up at the ceiling of the venue, and murmured, "Just seeing you today suddenly reminds me of many things... When I was studying in Yali City, I was in a similar situation to you before the promotion exam, receiving a lot of attention, haha."
But I wasn't as reserved as you were back then.
I was more flamboyant and ambitious back then, thinking about making a name for myself!
Then I applied to police academy, thinking that after graduation I would return to my hometown of Shuguang City, change the bad atmosphere of this godforsaken place, and prevent the tragic experiences of my childhood from happening to other children.
But...
"But in the end, you still became part of this bad trend."
Qi Lin picked up the conversation, then looked at Zhou Yu with disbelief, "And right now, you're still talking about these things in front of some victim... Hey, Zhou Yu, can you tell me what you're doing? Are you hoping I'll empathize? Or are you really drunk from drinking fruit wine? Is this stuff really that strong?"
"Do not."
Zhou Yu looked at Qi Lin and said seriously, "I just want to tell you that Dawn City is a hopeless place. You'll either be ostracized to death or you'll end up as a criminal. So if you want to take revenge on me in the future, you're welcome to do so anytime. But seriously, after you've taken your revenge, don't stay. Go out and make your way in the world, the farther the better. Although this place is our hometown, it's not worth staying here for, not at all."
"of course."
Upon hearing this, Qi Lin nodded slightly. "I can answer you immediately whether I stay or not. I will absolutely not stay. I have no attachment to this place."
He had no feelings for Dawn City.
hometown?
His hometown is not Shuguang City.
His hometown is on a more distant shore, a place he may never be able to return to.
"Qi Lin Qi Lin!"
Suddenly, Lu Tingxue's voice came from the other side.
Qi Lin looked in the direction of the sound.
Lu Tingxue led a beautiful noblewoman dressed in a dark red dress slowly to him.
Chapter 93 Lu Tingxue's mother, Gu Huailan
She is undoubtedly a beautiful married woman.
Her long hair was styled in an updo, secured with a hairpin, revealing her slender swan neck. She had a great figure, and the tight-fitting dress accentuated her curves perfectly.
In addition, she is also quite beautiful, with great skin that is fair and rosy, and so delicate that it looks like a young girl.
However, her deep, story-filled eyes and the indescribable maturity about her clearly tell others that she is actually middle-aged.
Her charm remains, her charm remains!
Let me introduce myself.
Lu Tingxue pointed to the beautiful woman beside her and said with a smile, "This is my mother, Gu Huailan. My father didn't come. I'll introduce you to him another time if there's a chance."
Hello, Aunt Gu.
Qi Lin quickly straightened up and greeted him politely.
"Hello."
Gu Huailan nodded slightly, her smile dignified, her voice gentle: "A few days ago, when Xiaoxue told me on the phone that you had defeated eighteen opponents to the very end, I wondered what kind of young talent could be so outstanding. Now that I see you, you are indeed a man of great bearing and exceptional appearance."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Qi Lin naturally said some polite, formal words.
"Thank you for taking care of my daughter, Xiaoxue, during these days at winter camp."
Gu Huailan opened her designer handbag, took out a business card, and handed it to Qi Lin with a smile. "I don't know if Xiaoxue has told you, but I am a chef. If you have the chance, you are welcome to come and taste my cooking, it's free."
"Not at all, classmates always help each other."
Qi Lin took the business card with both hands, glanced at the handwriting, and was immediately surprised.
[Gu Huailan, Head Chef of "Moonlight" Restaurant]
This restaurant is very unique and famous.
Not only is it famous in Dawn City, but it is also a top-tier upscale restaurant in the entire Hanhai City district.
As far as Qi Lin knew, this restaurant called "Moonlight" was located in "Moonlight Manor" on the outskirts of Dawn City. It only accepted reservations one month in advance and only served one table of guests each evening. What was served was entirely up to the chef that day, and guests had no choice but to eat whatever was served.
Price: 30 yuan per table.
The Moonlight Restaurant has 30 chefs, all of whom are renowned senior chefs and partners. They pooled their money to open the restaurant, and each chef takes turns cooking one night a month.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tingxue's mother was one of the head chefs of this upscale restaurant.
"I have something to do, I need to take Xiaoxue home first."
At this moment, Gu Huailan smiled and said to Qi Lin.
"Oh, Auntie, take care."
Qi Lin came to his senses and nodded slightly.
Gu Huailan smiled slightly, turned and left with Lu Tingxue, her graceful steps attracting much attention.
From beginning to end, this beautiful noblewoman didn't even glance at Zhou Yu standing beside her. She didn't greet him when she arrived, nor did she greet him when she left.
This is not normal.
Who is Zhou Yu?
A peak fourth-tier True Qi Martial Artist, and a fifth-tier Diviner!
This extraordinary strength places them in the top tier throughout the entire Dawn City.
Although his current position in the law enforcement bureau is not high enough, with his extraordinary strength alone, apart from big shots like Mayor Zhuo Yangping, who else in Dawn City would not greet him and say hello? They couldn't possibly ignore him.
"what's the situation?"
Qi Lin looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, "You two have a grudge?"
"My first encounter with her was indeed not very pleasant."
Zhou Yu watched Gu Huailan's departing figure, his brows furrowed. "Last year, I was investigating a case, and following the clues, I eventually found out it was this woman."
"Investigating a case?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yu's words, Qi Lin immediately became interested. "Isn't your third team only responsible for criminal cases? How did your investigation lead you to Aunt Gu? What's going on? Tell me."
"It's confidential information from the law enforcement bureau, I can't comment." Zhou Yu shook his head. "Let's not talk about this anymore. In short, she's fine, I just investigated the wrong person."
"Oh……"
Qi Lin looked suspicious, but since Zhou Yu had already said so, he couldn't ask any more questions.
"Captain Zhou!"
Just then, a portly man in a suit walked over from the other side, all smiles, his front teeth even adorned with gold.
"Damn fatso..."
Zhou Yu rubbed his temples wearily, muttered something under his breath, and then put on a smile as he approached the fat man, "Haha! Long time no see, Boss Wang! You're back from your vacation at Hanhai? You've lost even more weight!"
The two chatted and laughed all the way to the other side.
Qi Lin looked on expressionlessly.
He hated these kinds of social engagements.
He wants to become stronger.
He refused to believe that the Federation's strongest man, "Tang," would have to deal with these meaningless social interactions.
He should use his time to do more meaningful things.
For example, having dinner with a succubus.
"Elena!"
Qi Lin looked at the crowd around him and shouted.
