Chapter 101 "Staying Over, Picking Me Up, Using Public Office for Private Gain" "What are you looking at? There's nothing..."
Although Fu Ze woke up very early, there is another group in this world who have to get up even earlier.
For example...
"My God, is that Demon Lizard 777?!" Among the three-person group in school uniforms, a sharp-eyed boy was the first to notice the unusual situation. "When did this old neighborhood get such a rich person?"
Another person jokingly said, "You obviously have no common sense. It's clear that they're just here to 'stay' for one night."
After a burst of laughter, the boys' attention was still drawn to the cool-looking car.
At this moment, a third person who also had some knowledge of cars noticed something amiss: "The Demon Lizard 777 doesn't look like this..."
As he spoke, he took out his phone, opened a short video app and searched for videos. He then clicked on a video titled "Three Minutes to Tell You What the Magic Lizard Manufacturer Upgraded from 757 to 777".
Three minutes later, the three boys squatting next to Lunmei looked at each other in bewilderment.
Silence was their Cambridge this morning.
The luxury car parked in front of them was clearly a discontinued Devil Lizard 757.
Just then, a sharp shout rang out from behind them: "What are you all doing squatting here? Aren't you going to school?"
Upon hearing this order, which sounded like that of a headmaster, the three of them turned around and jumped up like rabbits with their fur standing on end, then bumped straight into an officer in uniform.
After briefly explaining that they had only been looking at a luxury car, the three of them immediately made their escape like birds and beasts.
The executive then stood in the spot where they had just occupied, intending to see just how "luxury" a car could possibly be in this old neighborhood where even elevators couldn't fit.
However, he was stunned at first glance.
This is the Demon Lizard 757 that Que Ling bought!
Someone else might not be so sure, but he had spent the last few weeks with the car and knew exactly how many scratches it had on the axle.
Finally recovering from this shocking fact, the executive slowly raised his head.
Could it be that Sparrow Feather is right here?
Because it is very close to the Adjudication Bureau, many executive officers choose to live here and are quite familiar with each other.
And the people living in this building...
A name clearly surfaced in the executive's mind.
No, no, no!
He immediately tried to dismiss this outrageous idea.
Perhaps a new resident has recently moved into this building, and Que Ling is here to see someone else.
It's also possible that someone else borrowed Que Ling's car.
In short, it absolutely cannot be what he thinks!
Just as the executive was trying to convince himself, a window on one of the floors of the building behind Lizard 757 was pushed open.
A head with slightly damp, silver-gray hair poked out of the window.
The man took a deep breath and exclaimed, "This is the fresh morning air of V City!"
Upon hearing that highly distinctive voice, the executive could no longer deceive himself.
Who else could this be but Sparrow Feather?!
However, before Que Ling could finish striking that classic Disney princess pose with her hands clasped in her hands, a pair of hands reached out from under his armpits and forcibly pulled him back into her arms.
At the same time, Hara Mihoshi's voice came from behind the same window.
"It's so early in the morning, the trees haven't even started photosynthesis yet, so where's the fresh air coming from?" "Dry your hair, eat breakfast, and get ready to go out."
The executive who witnessed the entire process: ...
He rarely got up early and was diligent, and this is the result? He never wants to get up early again.

After dressing up Fu Ze and placing him in the passenger seat of the Demon Lizard 757, Yuan Jianxing drove the car to the handover point agreed upon the previous night.
The Kang siblings, dressed in long black coats, were already standing there.
Upon seeing the Kang siblings, Fu Ze would immediately think of work, the colorful makeup on their faces, the blinding flashlights, and the barbed and meaningful questions.
His imagination is quite advanced in this respect.
"When did you guys team up? That was fast!" Fu Ze said irritably.
Yuan Jianxing automatically replaced the sarcastic "collusion" with normal words: "Your phone was out of battery last night, and I took the opportunity to talk to you about it while I was charging it for you."
"Oh? You went through my phone so quickly?" Fu Ze turned around, a smile playing on his lips. "Since you've already gone through it, didn't you want to check up on me or something?"
Yuan Jianxing parked the car on the side of the road, saying, "There's no need."
"You trust me that much? Don't worry, now that we have this kind of relationship, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Fu Ze placed one hand on his chest and said confidently.
“I hope you can keep your word.” Yuan Jianxing unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at Fu Ze with a half-smile in the rearview mirror. “However, if you really want to investigate, I have more convenient and accurate methods.”
Fu Ze: ...Is this a warning? This is definitely a warning!
After Yuan Jianxing got out of the driver's seat, the Kang siblings walked towards the direction where the Demon Lizard 757 was.
Kang Lele took over from Yuan Jianxing and got into the driver's seat, while Kang Yanyan sat in the back.
Fu Ze rolled down the passenger window, leaned out halfway out, and grabbed Yuan Jianxing's sleeve as he was about to leave.
"Hello!"
Fu Ze's posture at this moment was rather flamboyant, attracting the attention of passersby. So even though he knew that the other party was doing this on purpose, Yuan Jianxing had no choice but to comply.
He crouched down and aligned his gaze with Fu Ze's.
Pushing her sunglasses up to her head, Fu Ze looked directly at Yuan Jianxing and said with a hint of coquettishness, "Will you come pick me up from get off work?"
Glancing at the expressions of the other two people in the car, Yuan Jianxing considered for a moment and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
As if he had anticipated Yuan Jianxing's response, Fu Ze did something he had wanted to do yesterday.
He hooked his finger onto the chain of the badge on Yuan Jianxing's collar and pulled the other man closer.
Then he leaned close to the other person's ear and whispered:
"Don't you want to know how I disappeared from the Kangming Building?"
"Don't you want to know where I've been all this time?"
"Don't you want to know how I became Sparrow Feather?"
Under Fu Ze's three consecutive questions, Yuan Jianxing fell silent.
"Then I'll wait for your message."
Having received a positive reply, Fu Ze finally released his grip and fell back into the car, satisfied.
Urged on by Kang Yanyan's gaze, Kang Lele immediately started the Magic Lizard 757 and drove towards the event venue two blocks away.
Only after Yuan Jianxing could no longer be seen did Fu Ze roll up the car window, cutting off the light and sound from the outside world.
In an instant, the Kang siblings' gazes shifted from being lost in thought to being filled with murderous intent, both turning towards their own celebrity.
Fu Ze remained calm in response, saying, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen other people in love before?"
Kang Yanyan & Kang Lele: ?
Fu Ze suddenly realized: "Oh, it's envy."
Kang Yanyan & Kang Lele: ...
-
After a chaotic and hectic pre-production process, Fu Ze, who already looked good even in a burlap sack, was made even more impressive by professional stylists and makeup artists. He looked so dashing that he could easily walk around a top luxury fashion show.
Upon entering the studio, Fu Ze first greeted the two up-and-coming art-house film directors and well-known commercial film screenwriters whom he had successfully connected with. Then, at the host's arrangement, he sat in the seat closest to the camera.
After some necessary pleasantries and introductions, the interview finally got down to business.
"According to reliable sources, Ms. Que Ling, you will soon be playing the role of that bandit. This is your first time playing a villainous lead role since you started acting. Why did you make this change?"
Adjusting the microphone on his collar, Fu Ze took a deep breath and answered slowly:
"First of all, I have always been eager to find breakthroughs outside my comfort zone. Although the roles I have played in the past are well loved by everyone, a three-dimensional villain often reflects the complexities of human nature better than a one-dimensional hero, and also allows me to explore more possibilities in acting."
"Secondly, the script this time is quite excellent. The character Wan Chuanqiu is transformed from a simple villain into a tragic figure struggling in the vortex of fate. The character based on the CEO also has a rather heartwarming and heart-wrenching role."
"Finally, this is the first collaboration between a director who has achieved great success in the field of art films and a screenwriter who is a gold standard in commercial films. I think no actor would want to miss this opportunity."
After listening to Fu Ze's progressively deeper explanation, the screenwriter couldn't help but sigh, "Before, I felt that Ms. Que Ling was more like someone who was wearing a shell, being extremely cautious in every word and action."
The director chimed in, agreeing: "It's much more vibrant now."
As the person involved, Fu Ze took the initiative to mention the kidnapping segment that the two people deliberately skipped: "Perhaps this is what they call, 'a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise'."
"Speaking of 'a blessing in disguise,' I must correct a mistake made by Teacher Que Ling earlier," the host suddenly interjected.
Everyone present looked at him.
“The other party involved is no longer the chief,” the host announced. “Now, we have to call him the deputy director. And he is the youngest deputy director in the Adjudication Bureau.”
Everyone present suddenly realized what was going on and immediately offered their congratulations from afar.
Although Fu Ze also offered his congratulations remotely along with everyone else, he had other thoughts in his mind.
But to me, Yuan Jianxing will always be that CEO who sparred with me, tricked each other, spent every day with me, gave to each other, and finally reunited with me.
And now, he longs to see his chief executive officer immediately.
-
After finally getting through the event, Fu Ze immediately took off his flashy clothes that would turn heads in a crowd and changed into a hoodie and jeans outfit that looked no different from any other college student's.
Immediately afterwards, he used a feint, handing the eye-catching Magic Lizard 757 back to Kang Lele, while he himself left the venue on foot through the back door.
During the evening rush hour, most pedestrians, who have just been freed from work, are either rushing to their destination or staring at their phones refreshing the latest news, and have no time to pay attention to a passerby.
Even if the person's face is currently appearing on their phone, it's the same.
And so, Fu Ze walked through the crowd unnoticed.
Compared to Fu Ze, who kept his presence to a minimum, Yuan Jianxing, who was waiting by the roadside, was much more conspicuous.
He was wearing a brown trench coat with a matching jacket draped over his arm, and leaned against a car parked under a streetlight.
Clearly, that coat was meant for someone.
Walking up to Yuan Jianxing, Fu Ze pulled down his hood and scratched his limp hair. "Why didn't you wait in the car?"
"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find it." Seeing that Fu Ze was dressed quite warmly, Yuan Jianxing put the clothes in his hand into the trunk.
When Yuan Jianxing returned from the trunk, Fu Ze asked, "Are you hungry? What should we eat?"
After asking the question, he swayed smugly twice, "This time I'm saying it while looking at your face."
“With your status, going anywhere to eat would cause a huge uproar.” Yuan Jianxing pulled open the back seat and gestured for Fu Ze to get in. “That’s why I prepared this for you in advance.”
Upon closer inspection, Fu Ze noticed that a box had already been placed there.
He recognized the brand printed on the box; it was the super popular polymer cuisine dessert with long queues.
After getting into the car, Fu Ze moved a couple of steps to make room for Jianxing to sit down. He then opened the box and teased, "Doesn't it attract attention for the Chief, or rather, the Deputy Director, to line up to buy this super trendy product?"
“Even the most popular stores aren’t packed with people all day long.” As Fu Ze got into the car, Yuan Jianxing explained, “First, we use traffic monitoring to get the situation in the corresponding area, then we send people to buy things under the guise of team building, and finally we keep a separate copy.”
Savoring the fresh, sweet taste on his tongue, Fu Ze smiled and said, "The former deputy director is truly skilled at managing his subordinates. He's only been promoted a few days ago, and he's already mastered the art of abusing his power for personal gain."
Yuan Jianxing expressionlessly held his hand up to Fu Ze's mouth: "Then let's settle this privately. Spit it out and give it back to me."
Fu Ze was not about to give in so easily. He swallowed the food in a few bites and spat out a piece of his tongue, which was completely devoid of cream, to show Yuan Jianxing.
Looking at the other person's tongue, Yuan Jianxing instantly recalled the time when Fu Ze licked his palm to get rid of him.
He instantly curled his fingers to cover his palm, then pretended not to care about Fu Ze and put his hand down.
Fu Ze playfully stuck another flavor of pastry onto his fork and waved it in front of Yuan Jianxing a couple of times. "Alright, as a reward for feeding me, I'll take you somewhere secluded..."
Fu Ze's voice lowered, but Yuan Jianxing's heart jumped.
Anticipating that Yuan Jianxing would tell him to stop talking nonsense upon hearing this, Fu Ze seized the opportunity to stuff the pastry into Yuan Jianxing's mouth to stop him from saying anything.
Seeing Yuan Jianxing's slightly flustered expression, Fu Ze smiled as if his scheme had succeeded, and then said mischievously, "Of course we should go somewhere where no one is around to talk about serious matters."
For a moment, Yuan Jianxing didn't even know whether he should be disappointed or relieved.
While Yuan Jianxing was eating a fork, Fu Ze, who had one hand free, entered a location on the control panel and immediately activated the vehicle's autopilot mode.
However, after seeing the relevant information loaded by the navigation system, Yuan Jianxing frowned slightly.
In any sense, this place cannot be considered a "place without people," right?
“I know what you’re thinking.” Taking the dessert fork from Yuan Jianxing, Fu Ze said confidently, “But I can guarantee that, apart from you and me, our final destination will be completely deserted in 9,999 out of 10,000 years.”
