"Old Tang, can you tell me about your son?"
Tang Tiancheng looked at Xu Chen with a puzzled expression. "Why do you need to know all this? So many years have passed already."
"I'm just curious, curious why a child raised in a top-tier aristocratic family would become so weak in the end. The aristocratic scions I've seen are either spoiled brats or overconfident. Tang Hua is truly unique."
"Our Tang family is not a top-tier family, just an ordinary family."
“I understand. Your son must have been instilled with this idea a lot when he was young, which is why he lacks confidence.”
"No, what really made him insecure was after my wife passed away. He was still young at the time, and I was very busy with work and didn't have much time to take care of him. In retrospect, it was my fault."
Xu Chen nodded and said seriously, "I see. That explains why this happened."
"After he went to university, he called me for the first time to tell me that he had met a girl he liked..."
"Wait, which university did he go to?"
"It's in the capital."
"Old Tang, I'm not trying to be mean, but your son has been all alone since he was little. Now that he's grown up, he wants to tell you, his father, about the girl he likes, and he does it over the phone? You... you..."
"Kid, I feel like you're the elder here. You've gone too far, talking to me like that," Tang Tiancheng said fiercely, then tossed out a cigarette.
Xu Chen then lit a cigarette and took a puff. "This cigarette is pretty good. To be honest, I really don't want to quit my job. After all, smoking outside cigarettes just doesn't feel right."
Welcome back!
Xu Chen waved his hand, "Old Tang, you should be satisfied with the two laborers I found for you. By the way, how did they perform?"
"Not bad, they execute missions flawlessly, but..."
Xu Chen patted Tang Tiancheng on the shoulder, "But what? If they misbehave, tell me and I'll handle it."
"No, no, no, I mean they're too obedient. They always rush to do tasks, sometimes leaving the other team members with nothing to do."
"That's a reminder to give them a proper reward, since they've been so obedient."
"We'll talk about it later. Oh, it's so late, Junlin! Take Colonel Xu home."
"yes!"
On their way home, Xu Chen and Qin Junlin chatted and joked as usual, talking about girls, local customs and culture, and various things happening in the capital.
"Boss, how's your Haitian Gang doing? I heard that Old Tang took action against them."
"That's why I rushed over today to apologize. Hey, you were out on a mission and just got home not long ago, how did you know about this?"
"It's hard not to know, since the Tang family is involved. Boss, you should find some time to properly manage your subordinates, otherwise they'll cause you more trouble."
"How about I recruit you as an instructor, and you can help manage them properly?"
"The sun is shining tonight... Boss, Liang Huimin's concert is coming up in Beijing. Are you interested?" Qin Junlin tightened his grip on the steering wheel and whispered to Xu Chen.
"Why are you suddenly speaking so softly? Who is Liang Huimin?"
"Boss, sometimes I really feel like you're a hermit from the mountains. You don't even know Liang Huimin? She's a rising star in the Chinese music scene, and she's incredibly beautiful."
"You didn't complete your mission properly, and all you've been thinking about are female celebrities, huh? Are you planning to spend the night with this beauty surnamed Liang?"
"Boss, you really know me inside and out! Tomorrow night, boss, you absolutely have to be there on time tomorrow night!"
Xu Chen glanced at Qin Junlin speechlessly, "She's a superstar, why would she throw herself at a spoiled brat like you?"
Qin Junlin said excitedly, "Money, money is all that matters, boss. I heard from a friend that this queen is really good in bed. If we don't give it a try, won't we be falling far behind our friends?"
Xu Chen understood; it turned out to be a secret competition between spoiled young masters.
"Granted! I'll come to the concert tomorrow."
When he got home, Xu Chen saw Wang Li sitting by the pool writing a novel. He walked up to her and hugged her from behind.
"It's not summer yet, Lili, come inside quickly."
"A bit of cool air will clear my head." Wang Li kept typing on the keyboard, then seemed to remember something, "Chenchen, tomorrow is Liang Huimin's concert..."
"How do you know about this? Is Liang Huimin really that famous?"
"Huh? Chenchen, who else has told you about Empress Liang?"
"Xiao Qin, he just dropped me off. On the way, he told me I absolutely had to go to the concert."
"Chenchen, two of my classmates also want to go see it. Can you get them tickets?"
Xu Chen seemed to be deep in thought, then dialed Li Cheng's number, "Fatty?!"
"Boss, what's wrong?" Li Cheng returned home early after finishing his business with Li Ren. He hadn't even had a chance to celebrate his younger brother's safe return from North Africa last time, and Li Yuan had volunteered to join the team to crack down on drug traffickers. He only got home tonight, so he had to have a proper celebration.
Do you have tickets to Leung Wai-man's concert?
"Liang...Liang Huimin? I have one, but not for listening to the song. Boss, you're craving something fun? Is your wife on her period these days and you're feeling restless?"
"What are you talking about, Fatty? What are you saying?"
"Huh? Oh, oh, oh, boss, you're from Xingcheng, it's normal that you don't know. This Liang Huimin, when she first debuted, offended a big director in the industry and was blacklisted. Later, I don't know what happened, she hooked up with the Sun family, the same Sun family you brought down, she hooked up with a third-generation member of the Sun family's collateral branch, and as a result, the situation reversed, and that big director was almost blacklisted."
"You mean...she's a bus???"
"...At most, it's just a taxi. How could the young masters of Beijing's elite circles allow their women to go out and have promiscuous sex? It's just that later, when the collateral branch of the Sun family lost power, she became an auction item, with the playboys bidding against each other, and the highest bidder winning."
Do you have a ticket to listen to the music?
"I'll come to the concert tomorrow, and I'll bring you in with me, boss."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen nodded to Wang Li, "The tickets are sorted out."
"Chenchen, what bus?"
"Oh, that..."
Seeing Xu Chen's troubled expression, Wang Li didn't ask any further questions. "Let's go, let's go, it's time to sleep."
"Practice tonight!"
"No, Chenchen... I... I recently bought a new white bodysuit..." Cultivation was too boring, so Wang Li decisively chose to be "tortured" by Xu Chen between cultivation and being "tortured" by him.
"No! I must cultivate tonight! Look, I've even prepared spirit stones for you."
"Chenchen, are you sure?"
"Hmm..." Xu Chen suddenly grinned mischievously, picked up Wang Li, and headed towards the bedroom.
"Ah, Chenchen, I knew it, you bad person!"
