Chapter 484 Compensation
Chen Chuan got back into the car and drove towards the bureau.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived at the boundary of the land, parked his car in front of the gate, and entered the office building of the processing bureau under the salute of security personnel on both sides.
He found Ni Qianqian in her office. She handed him a document and said, "The Ferris Wheel Company originally had a condition: if they compensated you, you had to personally guarantee that you would not take any hostile actions against them in the future. But we rejected that."
Ni Qianqian crossed her arms and sneered.
"As the victim, you are actually being restricted by the attackers. It's a complete joke. If they have the guts, they should just keep pushing on like this and continue fighting Lianwei Zhongyu to see who suffers the most in the end."
Chen Chuan glanced at the document, which contained some issues regarding the compensation clauses. He looked up and said, "So what are they going to do now?"
"After coordination, they finally proposed compensation in installments. This should be their main purpose. As for why it's divided into installments..."
Ni Qianqian scoffed, "The Ferris Wheel Company probably thinks that as long as you want to get the money from below, then they won't target them."
Chen Chuan put the documents back on the table and said, "Let's not talk about the compensation for now. I want to hear what the Ferris Wheel Company has to say. Do you have a specific explanation for why they attacked me?"
Ni Qianqian said, "According to what they said, the woman you killed on the road when you were escorting Meng Shu back to the central city was called Sister Huan. She was a capable partner and assistant to a certain executive, and the two of them had a complicated relationship behind the scenes, so she developed a strong desire for revenge against you after her death.
He also ignored the company's warnings and used private channels to hire fighters from overseas to attack you."
As soon as Chen Chuan heard it, he knew that this was just a perfunctory explanation, because it could not explain why Director Lei was also targeted in the first place.
The real reason may be of some importance, so I don’t want to say it.
From this perspective, the Ferris wheel should not have given up its original idea, but has only temporarily compromised due to external pressure.
He thought for a moment, then added, "There's another question. The person who attacked me claimed to be a fighter from the overseas Lang Tao Pavilion. What is the bureau going to do about this Lang Tao Pavilion?"
Ni Qianqian said, "We sent someone to inquire, and the explanation given by Langtao Pavilion is that they are only responsible for guiding their disciples' combat training and never inquire about their personal behavior."
She shook her head and said solemnly, "As for Langtao Pavilion, although we can put pressure on them, it is difficult to make them bow their heads.
Langtao Hall is not just a simple fighting hall. The fighters who came out of it are all over the world and the mainland, and there are many good fighters there. The fighting hall itself has a high status in the hearts of many foreign fighters.
After entering the new era, Lang Tao actively used new technologies to build an elite armed force of its own.
If we were to put pressure on them, the administrative resources we would have to mobilize would be enormous. Not to mention how effective it would be, even if we could force them to bow their heads temporarily, some fighters who view Langtaokan as a spiritual faith might take extreme actions, which is something we don't want to see."
Chen Chuan understood that this Langtao Hall was like a Wuyi Academy overseas, and it also had its own independent armed forces.
For such armed violent organizations, unless we are determined to eliminate them with military force, we can only exert pressure through indirect political means, but that is doomed to be ineffective.
This doesn’t matter. Since the other party fought him as a fighter at that time, he can also visit there as a fighter in the future.
Ni Qianqian clicked on the lower realm certificate, and a written agreement was uploaded. "Here is the first 200,000 Jianzhi coins that Ferris Wheel will give you. The lawyers in the bureau have already reviewed it for you. There are no problems. If you're concerned, you can ask your personal lawyer to take a look. There are two more payments after this one."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, signed his name on it, and then looked up and said, "Sister Ni, please pay this money to the bureau for me."
The total amount of these three sums of money is only 600,000, which is about the same as the bonus given to him by the fusion boundary. It can be seen that Ferris Wheel is actually perfunctory, or simply does not want to give him too much.
So he was not planning to take the money, or rather, he was not planning to take it now. He would try to get the debt owed by Ferris Wheel back himself with interest when the time came.
Moreover, he is not short of money now. The special medicines he mainly uses for cultivation are provided by the Fusion Boundary Company. Apart from buying medicine and gas, there is almost no other place to spend money.
If he took it directly, there might be a lot of people in the bureau who would be jealous of him for no reason. It would be better to take it out and use the money from the Ferris wheel to do a favor.
Ni Qianqian said, "Brother Chen, are you sure?"
Chen Chuan said: "I'm sure."
Ni Qianqian said jokingly, "Hey, if it were you, Sister Ni, I wouldn't be willing to part with such a large sum of money. I could buy a new car." Then she became serious, "Brother Chen, I know you don't want to let this matter go. In fact, the bureau won't let it go like this either. Don't be impulsive. There will be a chance."
Chen Chuan said, "I know." Then he said, "Sister Ni, do you have time? I said I'd treat you to dinner last time, and today happens to be my day off."
Ni Qianqian rubbed her forehead and said, "Next time. I'm the housekeeping officer. It's not long into the new semester, and I need to work with that new sponsor these days. I'm really annoyed."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Come to think of it, I haven't met this student yet."
Ni Qianqian curled her lips and said, "He's currently in the probation period, but from my observation, he's far inferior to you, Brother Chen. I'm not talking about potential or martial arts skills. These are just things on paper. There's no concrete performance yet, so it's hard to tell at the moment. Although the evaluation score is higher than your first evaluation, this student gives people a feeling of being too arrogant.
He felt that the funding we gave him was a matter of course, and that he came to the bureau to give face to the bureau.
But the higher-ups treat him like a treasure. Do they really think there will be another person like you, Brother Chen? I've been in the bureau for many years and have met many students, but I've never seen another one like you, Brother Chen."
Chen Chuan heard the resentment in Ni Qianqian's tone and knew that she hadn't left a good impression on him. He shook his head and said, "It seems this junior doesn't know how to tell a joke."
Ni Qianqian couldn't help but giggle when she heard it. It took a while for her to stop. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, Brother Chen, today is your day off. Don't stay here any longer. Go back and have a good rest."
Chen Chuan nodded and said goodbye to Ni Qianqian. When he walked out of the office, Jie Ping sent him a message, telling him that the knife he had sent earlier had been repaired and asked him to go to the logistics team to get it back.
This was just right. He went to the logistics department and took back the repaired long sword. The logistics team also made an exquisite knife case this time.
After thanking the other party, he left the processing bureau and went all the way back to his house in Wuding District. He placed the knife on a pre-prepared shelf in the collection room, admired it for a while, and then walked out.
After returning to the academy, he continued his previous practice, striving to master the tempering method as soon as possible so that he could ask Teacher Xue for advice on the next step of practice.
In a blink of an eye, it was the holiday in late February.
Chen Chuan had made an appointment with Tan Zhi to go to the theater to watch a musical in the afternoon and to meet at Tan Zhi's house. Since there was a possibility that he would meet Chen Bi this time, he changed into formal clothes, left home early in the morning, and drove towards Tan Zhi's residence.
This time the musical was in Weiguang District, so he didn't drive the Gard car, but the silver lightning car.
After getting the car, he has never driven it. In addition to the trouble of subsequent maintenance, the main problem is that once he drives it out, it may not be his anymore.
But in Weiguang District, you don’t have to worry about this for the time being.
When they arrived at Tan Zhi's rental apartment, Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin had already arrived. After meeting the three of them, Pan Xiaode came up to shake his hand without any hesitation, "Student Chen, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Tan Zhi said: "Student Chen has great abilities, so he also bears great responsibilities."
Pan Xiaode said with some annoyance, "I should have sparred with classmate Chen earlier. Now that you are a third-level fighter, I can't even fight you."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "It's okay for us to spar. I can adjust my strength and speed to a level similar to yours."
Pan Xiaode's eyes lit up immediately, and he was eager to try it out and said, "Is it okay?"
Chen Chuan said: "Yes, you and Qi can come together."
"good!"
Pan Xiaode turned to Qi Huixin and said, "Huixin, let's go together." Qi Huixin nodded and stood beside him with a serious expression.
It was a rare opportunity to be able to compete with a third-level fighter. Their families had also hired such fighters, but given their status, they would not say much to a junior.
As for the teachers they invited, they were at most responsible for guiding them and would not fight with them directly, because the huge gap in skills would make it meaningless to compete with them.
They used to think so too, but now they realize that maybe these people don't have the ability to do so, unlike Chen Chuan who can suppress himself.
Pan Xiaode then looked at Tan Zhi again, "Mr. Tan, what about you?"
Tan Zhi waved his hand and said, "I'll forget it."
If it were a dancing competition, he was confident that he could be the best in the audience, but when it came to fighting, he wasn't as enthusiastic as the other two. If it weren't for the ratings, he would just do what he could to handle it.
Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin were very serious. They apologized first, started warming up, and then took a few nutritional pastes.
Chen Chuan was willing to practice with them, and they did not take it for granted, but cherished this opportunity very much.
After the warm-up was over, the two men each picked up their own weapons, approached Chen Chuan, and then shouted together, attacking him from two different directions.
