Fang Qingdai woke up early the next morning, but Qingluan woke up even earlier. The little maid had already dressed herself and was sitting quietly by the bed waiting.
As soon as Fang Qingdai opened her eyes, she exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, we went to register today!"
Fang Qingdai found it amusing and asked her, "What's so exciting about registering?"
"After registering, Qingluan will have a job, and she can earn enough to support herself and her sister!"
"People my age can't work, but I'm the only one who can actually work!"
Qingluan became more and more excited as she spoke. Her little face was flushed as she stood on the bed, and she even jumped up and down a couple of times as she talked.
Fang Qingdai laughed even more heartily, echoing, "Yes, yes, our Qingluan is amazing!"
Children's happiness is something adults cannot understand.
They are actually more responsible towards their families and more willing to make sacrifices.
Especially for a sensitive child like Qingluan, being able to generate income for the family would make her incredibly satisfied, and she would feel that she was no longer a burden to her older sister.
Fang Qingdai's expression softened, and she hugged and kissed Xiao Qingluan for a while.
Then, he went into his spatial dimension to transfer today's energy onto the paulownia wood before quickly washing up and getting ready, and then went out with Qingluan.
When they arrived at the Superpowers Group building, Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba were already waiting at the door.
To Fang Qingdai's surprise, Xiao Mao and Huang Changming were also there!
Fang Qingdai raised her eyebrows in surprise. Before she could say anything, Huang Changming had already exploded!
"I don't want to join your team of superhumans, I just...I..."
Fang Qingdai was even more surprised!
She never expected Huang Changming to join her team. After all, she had argued with him a few times. How could a boy with such a strong sense of self-esteem possibly offer himself up and be overshadowed in the future?
"Hey, stop being so stubborn. You asked me to come with you, so why are you acting all awkward now that you're here!"
Xiao Mao wasn't going to put up with him. After rolling his eyes and saying something, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Fang Qingdai, rarely so serious: "Sister, can you accept him?"
Fang Qingdai was truly shocked. What had happened that she didn't know about, that made these two sworn enemies turn their hostility into friendship?
Isn't Xiao Mao a sworn enemy of Huang Changming? Why is he pleading for him now?
What's going on between you two?
Xiao Mao paused, then turned his back to Huang Changming with a pleading look on his face.
"Anyway, he needs a job now. He can't get into other places, and if he joins another superpowered team, I'm afraid his bad temper won't get along with the team members."
Fang Qingdai said speechlessly, "So you think you can get along with me?"
Xiao Mao glanced at Huang Changming's arrogant and haughty demeanor, then gave Fang Qingdai a helpless, awkward smile.
"Sis, can you handle him? He can't cause any trouble with you!"
Fang Qingdai rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"
Xiao Mao hesitated for a moment, looked back at Huang Changming several times, and finally gritted his teeth and said quickly, "His father was dismissed from his post and is now being taken away for investigation. His mother has no job and can only rely on him to earn points to support the family."
Fang Qingdai frowned: "Dismissed? Why?"
The head of the logistics department is considered a high-ranking official in the base. Although he may not have much power, it is a very lucrative position.
You simply can't get to this position without connections!
If that's the case, how could Huang Changming's father be so easily dismissed from his post?
Was it because someone higher up got into trouble that he was implicated? Or was there some serious misconduct that led to his suspension and investigation?
Fang Qingdai asked the question, but Xiao Mao scratched his head and said, "I don't know. His father was suddenly taken away the day before yesterday, and we haven't heard a word about it since!"
That's even stranger. If something happened to a superior, it must be a serious matter, and it's impossible that there wouldn't be any word about it.
If it was a work-related mistake, a mistake by a logistics department wouldn't be classified, nor should it have gone completely unnoticed.
Fang Qingdai frowned, her eyes flickering as she looked at Xiao Mao.
Xiao Mao sensed something was off about Fang Qingdai's gaze and touched his face, feeling both confused and guilty: "What's wrong, sister? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing." Fang Qingdai sighed and shook her head, saying nothing more.
She couldn't say it directly, but she felt that Huang Changming's father's accident might be related to your father, right?
Perhaps she's become obsessed; now, whenever she hears any unusual news, she can't help but connect it with the organization behind Li Weidong.
Since she couldn't get any answers from Xiao Mao, Fang Qingdai could only investigate further later.
Just as he was about to bring up Huang Changming's matter, he suddenly saw several people striding out of the Superpower Group building.
Li Weidong, who was in the lead, still had that gentle smile. He approached with a smile and a happy expression: "I heard that Captain Xiaoqing would be reporting for duty today, so I've been waiting for you!"
"Everyone, come and meet our new team leader, Xiao Qing! Let me make this clear, all of you better be alert and don't underestimate her just because she's a girl! Our Xiao Qing is a very rare dual-ability user!"
As soon as Li Weidong finished speaking, the people around him immediately gasped in surprise.
"Is that the dual-elemental ability user with both spatial and wood-based abilities at level 5?"
"Wow, she's such a young girl. How old is she? Not even fifteen yet?"
"You don't know this, do you? Captain Xiaoqing is already seventeen! So, it's not necessarily true that the earlier you activate your superpowers, the higher your talent. Captain Xiaoqing's appearance has rekindled hope for countless people who haven't activated their superpowers yet!"
The group of people, acting like straight men, quickly revealed Fang Qingdai's identity in just a few words.
Fang Qingdai watched the crowd gather with cold eyes, remaining unmoved.
She frowned and gently nudged Xiao Mao beside her when she saw Li Weidong's gaze shift to Qingluan.
Xiao Mao was pushed forward a few steps. Although he didn't understand Fang Qingdai's meaning, he still took the opportunity to approach Li Weidong, raised his face with a smile, and called out, "Dad!"
When Xiao Mao suddenly interrupted what he was about to say, Li Weidong's smile visibly darkened. His eyes were filled with impatience as they glared at Xiao Mao, making the boy's expectant face freeze.
Fang Qingdai gritted her teeth, somewhat regretting pushing Xiao Mao out to divert attention.
Just as he was thinking about how to cheer Xiao Mao up, Huang Changming strode up to him.
"Uncle Li! I asked Xiao Mao to come with me to find something to do!" He greeted him with a smile. Since Xiao Mao was another kid from the courtyard, Li Weidong always put on a show for outsiders, so of course he couldn't possibly treat him coldly.
His expression softened, and his unwavering smile returned: "Xiao Ming, if you need something to do, just tell your uncle. I'll arrange for you to join the third..."
"No need to trouble Commander Li."
Fang Qingdai spoke up at the right moment, her smile as hypocritical as Li Weidong's: "Xiao Ming has confirmed that he will join my team, and we will go to register in a bit!"
Before Li Weidong could react, Fang Qingdai quickly pointed to Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba, who had remained silent throughout and stood as straight as pine trees: "And these two are people the base commander gave me, and they will be my team members in the future."
