Chapter 162 I Know How to Seize Opportunities Better Than You (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Zhou Tianyu was about to sit down when he was stared at by the people next to him.

Zhou Tianyu immediately realized something was wrong, and he quickly asked Xu Qingmo, "Why aren't you coming to eat? Didn't you just say you were hungry?"

"Only six dishes? I usually have at least ten dishes when I eat out. It's clear that the people here don't value me at all, nor do they value that I can make explosives." Xu Qingmo looked like she was having a hard time.

Zhou Tianyu looked at her suspiciously. Although Xu Qingmo's family usually cooked very well, he had never seen ten dishes at home after visiting several times.

The most common dishes are four: two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Zhou Tianyu deliberately nudged Xu Qingmo's arm and whispered a reminder, "Don't ask for too much. If you anger them, they might not even let us have these six dishes."

Xu Qingmo snorted coldly, "The food took so long to cook, I'm already being very magnanimous by not getting angry. And you still want to be angry with us? We might as well not eat this meal."

"Xu Qingmo, don't be stubborn. If you don't eat, I still want to eat." Zhou Tianyu pretended to pick up his chopsticks, but was too afraid to take any food because of her stare.

"Xu Qingmo is our most respected guest. No one is allowed to touch their chopsticks until she does." This was said to Zhou Tianyu.

Zhou Tianyu immediately put down his chopsticks.

Xu Qingmo still showed her dissatisfaction, "Since you all know that I am a respected guest, and you don't meet the requirements of a guest, it seems that I don't need to stay here any longer. I should go back."

"Don't go, I'll arrange for four more dishes to be sent over right away," the leading man coaxed Xu Qingmo.

Xu Qingmo was slightly satisfied. She walked to the table, sat down, and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.

Zhou Tianyu immediately followed suit and ate along with them.

Three meals a day, each with ten dishes, and no leftovers allowed.

After Xu Qingmo had eaten and drunk her fill, she was ready to sleep, and the best bed was arranged for her.

She snuggled into the warm blankets and fell asleep almost immediately.

Zhou Tianyu was placed next to Xu Qingmo. Even as he lay in his warm bed, he still felt like it was a dream, something unreal.

At that moment, Zhang Xu and the others were called to a meeting.

The scene recounted Xu Qingmo's actions, which drew criticism from many people.

Zhang Xu's arch-rival deliberately retorted, "Zhang Xu, are you sure Xu Qingmo can make a new type of explosive? Could she have been deceived by Shen Jiang?"

“Shen Jiang is not someone who would deceive people. Although he is our enemy, his character is impeccable,” Zhang Xu praised.

His arch-enemy scoffed, "You haven't been brainwashed by Shen Jiang, have you?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I still have my own judgment."

The other person wanted to say something more, but the leader stopped him.

"Although Shen Jiang is indeed our enemy, his character is impeccable. This Xu Qingmo is no ordinary person; she's just throwing a childish tantrum right now."

"If she keeps throwing tantrums like a child, are we supposed to keep putting up with her?"

"Of course not. Today is her first time here, so it's understandable that she'll throw a little tantrum. We can't use adult thinking to limit her. In a couple of days, let her know that there's no harm to her here, and she'll definitely let her guard down and help us make explosives."

The man in the lead had his own agenda, and everyone around him nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xu also oversees these matters. "I will keep a close eye on Xu Qingmo at all times, and I will report any suspicious activity immediately."

Zhang Xu's arch-rival snorted, "I hope you won't disappoint everyone this time."

Zhang Xu: "Don't worry, I'm definitely better at seizing opportunities than you are."

One sentence left the other party speechless.

Zhang Xu continued talking to the people around him, because he was the one who brought Xu Qingmo back, and many people were willing to pay more attention to him.

Zhang Xu's arch-rival gradually became a marginal figure.

He had always wanted to change himself and shine again, but the leadership simply wouldn't give him a second chance.

Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was the middle of the night.

Instead of going to sleep, Zhang Xu chose to patrol the vicinity.

If he couldn't sleep, his arch-enemy couldn't sleep either, so he took the initiative to approach him and launched into a barrage of sarcastic remarks.

"Zhang Xu, don't you think you look like a dog wagging its tail right now?"

"I think you're not even as good as a dog."

"Hahaha, so you've finally admitted you're a dog, Zhang Xu. Sometimes I envy you, and sometimes I feel sorry for you. You're so ordinary, yet you keep stealing my opportunities. You're both pathetic and hateful."

Zhang Xu stopped and turned to look at the nonchalant man, retorting defiantly, "People like you are the most ridiculous. You had plenty of opportunities in front of you before, but you didn't know how to cherish them. You insisted on doing things your own way and finding another path to prove yourself. Now you have plenty of time to prove yourself, so why don't you take it?"

Mentioning this matter only made his arch-rival's expression more and more unpleasant.

Back then, I was young and arrogant, and I didn't take the opportunities right in front of me seriously at all.

I always felt that I could make a name for myself with my own abilities.

But in the end, it was the third leader who risked his life to teach him not to be too arrogant.

This matter is a sore spot in his heart, and he has never wanted to be touched upon it.

But Zhang Xu would always use this incident to reprimand him.

“I was young and impetuous, but I’ve realized my mistakes now. Why can’t I have a chance to prove myself? Why should all the benefits fall on your head? Zhang Xu, you are no match for me, and you will never be as good as me.”

Zhang Xu's collar was grabbed by the other party.

The arch-enemy could no longer contain his dissatisfaction and roared at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu watched the other person's frenzied behavior calmly, without the slightest panic.

After the other person finished venting, he pushed him away and kicked his nemesis.

Unable to contain his anger, the other party started fighting with Zhang Xu, venting all the dissatisfaction he had been holding in for days.

They were separated when another patrol passed by.

Both sides were beaten black and blue, but they were still not convinced by the other.

Zhang Xu laughed first, "Because I know how to seize opportunities. I know that opportunities are hard to come by, but you don't understand. Although I am not as good as you, I am reliable and obedient. Just for these reasons, I am much better than you."

"Hehe... Don't be too happy yet, I'll trample you under my feet one day."

"I've heard that sentence so many times, but you're still inferior to me. There's nothing I can do. I'm just luckier than you. You can't surpass me just by talking."

Zhang Xu didn't linger; he left after saying his piece.

The next morning, the news of the fight between the two men spread like wildfire.

Xu Qingmo got up early, stretched as she went out, and saw Zhang Xu walking towards her.
