After greeting the cute little ones in Room 305, Xu Yi walked over to the side with her phone and answered it. "Hey, Old Zhou, why did you think of calling me?"
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Xu, have you forgotten about me, an old man? I haven't come to see my old bones for such a long time." Zhou Huaqing teased when he heard Xu Yi's familiar voice.
Xu Yi felt a little embarrassed. She really had forgotten about this old man. She had been busy with the live broadcast and the exams, and had no time to spare.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm busy studying every day. Old Zhou, I never come to you for no reason. Just tell me, if there is anything you need me for, I will definitely help you both financially and physically." Xu Yi said in a flattering manner.
Although this old man's abilities were average, he was a nice person, and Xu Yi was happy to deal with him.
Hearing Xu Yi's flattering voice on the phone, Zhou Huaqing laughed heartily. "You don't need to pay, Fellow Daoist Xu. The truth is, you know our industry is declining. To test the new generation, the association is planning a competition. It's ostensibly a competition, but in reality, it's to select the next generation of successors."
Xu Yi interrupted, "Another competition? The last exchange meeting nearly wiped out a whole boatload of people, and that evil boss hasn't been caught yet. Now we're competing, aren't you afraid that boss will show up and snuff out all the future seedlings? And why are you looking for me? I don't want to be the president."
Zhou Huaqing said cheerfully, "Little Daoist Xu, listen to me and don't worry. The association did suffer a significant loss last time, so everyone wants to take this opportunity to take down the big boss."
Doesn't he like to do bad things behind the scenes? This is definitely a good opportunity, so we've laid a tight net and are ready to catch him in the act. Do you want to join in the fun? Be my assistant and give me a hand?"
Xu Yi......
This is killing three birds with one stone, right?
The people in the association have been holding it in for so long and finally came up with something big.
She originally thought they would just let it go.
But this time, Old Man Zhou told her their purpose directly and clearly. Should she be happy that he trusted her, or should she say that he was not careful with his words?
"How can I help? And this is such an important matter, and you just told me like that. What if I let something slip?"
"I believe you. How about this, let's meet and talk. Come to my yard and I'll talk to you in detail." Zhou Huaqing said.
Xu Yi thought about it and nodded. "Okay, I'll come find you later."
"Hey guys, you guys play here, I have something to go out for." Xu Yi explained to the little cuties in 305.
"Then go ahead. We'll play for a while and then go back to the dormitory." Lan Yue said.
Zhang Jingjing also said, "Yiyi, don't worry about us. We'll close the door for you later. Go and do your thing."
Zheng Wei simply waved his hand and handed Xu Yi's bag to her.
Seeing this, Xu Yi smiled, made a heart shape with her hands to them, and walked out.
After going to the supermarket to buy some fruits, a box of milk, a bottle of white wine, and a lot of health products, Xu Yi took a taxi and went directly to Zhou Huaqing's house.
After knocking on the door, Zhou Huaqing soon came in a wheelchair to open the door.
"Old Zhou, you seem to be in good spirits lately." Xu Yi said cheerfully when she saw Zhou Huaqing, and then she dumped the things on Zhou Huaqing. "Here, this is for you. Take some extra care of yourself."
"Little girl, you want to crush me to death! Take it away quickly." Zhou Huaqing shouted as he looked at the mountain of gifts.
Xu Yi laughed and quickly picked up the things again, "Hahaha, Old Zhou, you need to exercise your body."
"I...you did it on purpose!" Zhou Huaqing looked at Xu Yi who was grinning mischievously, and his mood instantly brightened.
It feels great to have a friend even though I'm old.
"Come on, come in and sit down. You don't usually come to see me, an old man." Zhou Huaqing turned the wheelchair and led the way.
Xu Yi looked at Zhou Huaqing's somewhat lonely back and agreed repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I will come to see you often in the future and eat with you. I remember you have a nephew, isn't he going to come and see you?"
"He's very busy with his company, so he doesn't have time to come and see an old man like me." Zhou Huaqing looked a little lonely.
When people get old, they always hope to have children and grandchildren around them. However, he is in this line of work and he is the only one left now. How can he have the blessing of having children and grandchildren around him?
Xu Yi entered the living room, put down the things in her hands, and poured herself a cup of tea. "Oh, tell me quickly, what are you plotting? What do you need me to do?"
Zhou Huaqing looked at Xu Yi, who seemed as comfortable as if she were at home, and happily brought some fruit to her.
"What do you mean we're plotting something? You know what happened last time. We later found out it was related to the Shadow Clan. In recent years, the Shadow Clan has always been causing trouble, disturbing everyone's peace.
Although our Dao Sect is in decline, we will not allow ourselves to be bullied. Therefore, we intend to take this opportunity to lure out the mastermind behind the Shadow Sect and capture them all in one fell swoop."
"So you prepared this competition, ostensibly to elect the next president, but actually to set a trap and wait for people to fall into it?" Xu Yi seemed to be thinking about something.
"But what if they find out and ruin your plan?"
Zhou Huaqing was very confident. "No, our people this time are all internal personnel, so he won't notice. Even if he does notice, it doesn't matter. We have to fight hard. Being a coward is not our style."
Xu Yi gave him a thumbs up and said, "You have guts. Have you found anything yet?"
Zhou Huaqing thought for a moment and said to Xu Yi, "We found the Shadow Gate base a while ago, but we arrived too late. We don't know who blew it up, and there are no clues left inside. Fortunately, one of our undercover agents is still alive, but he has a brain injury and is almost as bad as a child."
