Han Zhen waved his hand as a greeting, and then a group of people entered the factory, and soon came out with Lenny's body.
Wen Qi and Feng Ce also came down from upstairs.
Han Zhen asked about the information about vampires again, and then led his men away. He had no intention of taking the two back to the city. He probably thought they were going to continue their date.
Not long after they left, Uncle Li drove over. Seeing that they were in such a remote place, he didn't ask any questions and just drove away.
On the way back, Wen Qi asked with concern: "What happened to Lenny, does it affect your cooperation?"
"No." Feng Ce explained: "Lenny is just a representative, not that important." It's not like the entire company will fail if Lenny dies.
"But since you reminded me, I still have to send a notice to the other company." Feng Ce took out his cell phone and called Guan Changfeng.
After listening to this, Guan Changfeng was in a trance, thinking about how to better explain to the other party. There were only two people in total, one was unconscious and hospitalized, and the other died directly! He found it incredible, and the other party must have exploded! But on second thought, Guan Changfeng felt that they were not at fault at all in this matter, and they were even the victims! They can justifiably demand compensation! Seriously speaking, this world does not mean that whoever is miserable is right! Thinking of this, Guan Changfeng immediately called the headquarters of the other company with full confidence, and condemned them from the moral high ground! The next day, Guan Changfeng went to the hospital to visit Catherine as a representative. After telling her what happened, he asked her to rest assured and recuperate, and the people from their company were on the way.
Catherine's face was pale, her expression was gloomy, and her whole body became fragile.
Guan Changfeng sighed secretly. Compared with his previous arrogant look, he was like a completely different person.
Wen Qi didn’t pay attention to what happened afterwards, as it didn’t cause much of a stir anyway.
With nothing to do, Wen Qi ran to the office to take a look.
Not long after the renovation started, the whole building was dirty and messy. At first glance, it didn't look like a renovation, but rather like the building was going to be demolished.
Liu Ran, who said she would be a supervisor, built a pergola in the garden, pulled up electrical wires, and turned a high-power air cooler on it. She drank tea while taking care of her baby. She was so leisurely.
Wen Qi had not been imitating Liu Ran's leisure for half a day when Fan Xiaoling pulled her back home and asked her to help with her paper.
Wen Qi was confused. How could she do this? However, Wen Qi went anyway. She was also curious about how Fan Xiaoling's paper turned out.
Both Mrs. Fan and Mr. Fan were very happy, especially after they knew that Wen Qi opened the Tianshi Firm with Fan Xiaoling. They had long wanted to come and express their gratitude formally, but were stopped by Fan Xiaoling.
This time Wen Qi came to the door on her own initiative. Mother Fan pulled her aside and talked to her for a long time. Most of the words she talked about were about the changes that Xiaoling had experienced during this period, and the rest were expressions of gratitude to Wen Qi.
He also mentioned a few words saying that he had some regrets.
Mother Fan sighed and said, "If we had sent Xiaoling to learn skills when she was young, her life would have been better than it is now."
Hearing this, Fan Xiaoling couldn't help but said, "That's not necessarily true. Others don't have the ability of Wen Qi. If such a good seedling like me falls into the hands of others, it might be ruined."
Mother Fan smiled and patted her, "Shame on you."
Father Fan nodded and said, "Xiaoling is right. It's good as it is now. The past is in the past. It's useless to think too much. Our family will get better and better in the future."
Fan Xiaoling looked very proud, "When I save enough money, I will buy you a super big house!"
Mother Fan disagreed. "Why move to such a big house? It will be so troublesome to clean up. When you get married, there will be only your father and I at home. It will be too empty and uncomfortable."
Fan Xiaoling blushed, "Then I won't get married! I'll live with you guys!"
"Nonsense!" Fan's mother smiled, but her tone revealed a hint of helplessness, "What kind of girl doesn't get married? It's only in the past few years."
Fan Xiaoling thought of Ning Guochao and said nothing.
Seeing this, Mother Fan was shocked. Could this child really have a problem? She looked at Father Fan, coughed lightly and said, "We were just chatting. I'll go to the kitchen to wash some fruit." Then she looked at Wen Qi naturally, "Xiao Qi, come and see what you like to eat."
Wen Qi stood up with a smile on his face and followed Fan's mother to the kitchen.
Fan Xiaoling was absent-minded and didn't notice anything wrong at all.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the kitchen, Fan's mother closed the kitchen door and asked in a low voice: "Is Xiaoling in love?"
Wen Qi thought about it and decided to tell the truth. As a parent, it is their concern for their child. If they hide things from their child, it will be easier for the child to have wild thoughts.
"We're not officially together yet." Wen Qi said seriously, "We're still at the stage where we like each other but haven't made it clear yet."
Mother Fan frowned slightly, "Is that boy from your school? Do you know him? What's his temper and behavior like? Does he know about Xiaoling's situation?"
Wen Qi saw her uneasiness, took her hand, and said with a smile: "The other party is a very good person. Not only does he fully understand Xiaoling's situation, but he also admires Xiaoling's abilities. He is not a student, but he is not much older than Xiaoling."
"He is currently working at the Tianshi Association. I don't know much about his family's conditions." Wen Qi thought for a moment and said, "I heard that they are from a Tianshi family, so they should be pretty good. Don't worry, Auntie. I'll be watching over them. I won't let Xiaoling be bullied by outsiders."
Hearing this, Fan's mother smiled with relief, "With you here, her father and I feel relieved."
Wen Qi smiled with curved eyebrows.
"Qiqi! Are you okay?" Fan Xiaoling shouted in the living room, "Come and help me with my paper!"
Mother Fan patted Wen Qi's hand and said, "Go ahead. You've been busy all summer. If you don't help her, she'll be worried."
Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling returned to the room, turned on the computer, and finished reading more than 5,000 words in just a few minutes.
"Hmm..." Wen Qi pondered for a few seconds after reading it, and said, "I think it's okay."
Wen Qi hesitated, "Why don't you take a look yourself?"
Fan Xiaoling waved her hand and said, "No need, I have revised it several times."
"...Okay." You can't blame me if you get beaten back, Wen Qi thought.
After finishing a big task, Fan Xiaoling took a thick folder next to her and said, "Help me take a look at the runes and see if there is anything that needs to be improved."
Speaking of this, Wen Qi became a little more energetic, took the folder, and read it page by page very carefully.
Flipping from the first page to the last, Wen Qi looked up and smiled, "Not bad, you've matured a lot. How's your spell memorization?"
Fan Xiaoling, who had just been a little happy, suddenly became discouraged, "That's it, I only picked the commonly used ones to recite, the spells are too long and difficult to recite."
Wen Qi nodded in understanding, "The art of spellcasting still needs to be gradually mastered through actual combat." If one only relies on memory, there is a high possibility that one's mind will go blank when encountering danger.
She glanced at the calendar and saw that there was still a week until school started.
Wen Qi groaned and said, "Forget about today. Starting tomorrow, I will take you out to practice actual combat, mainly focusing on spells."
Fan Xiaoling nodded seriously and said firmly: "I will definitely pass the first exam of the Heavenly Master in a month!"
Mother Fan outside the door couldn't help laughing when she heard Fan Xiaoling was so motivated. She knocked on the door and said, "It's time to eat some fruit."
After dinner in the evening, Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling went to Liu Ran’s place for a small gathering.
Wen Qi told the two of them about vampires, just in case, as they might encounter one someday.
During the period, they also video-called Mingren, who expressed strong protest against the fact that he was not included in the three-person party, but there was nothing he could do, after all he was a man.
What's the point of having men at a women's party? The video was ruthlessly hung up. Mingren shut himself up for less than two seconds, and then decided to invite people out for a drink, as if he had no friends! That night, Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling did not go home. They chatted with Liu Ran all night, from vampires to clergy, the differences between priests and heavenly masters, how to practice, and men.
Until the second half of the night, the three of them fell asleep in the living room in a daze.
Feng Ce, who was alone in the empty room, couldn't sleep, so he went back to the underworld to ask King Chu Jiang about the progress of deporting the vampire Cairo.
King Chujiang replied respectfully: "He was sent back the day before yesterday and should have been executed by now."
In fact, Cairo was executed the same day he was brought back.
All vampires above the baron level in Europe received a warning from Cairo - never provoke the Chinese! He is the most obvious example! After dawn, Fan Xiaoling's combat training began.
There was no particularly suitable place around, so Wen Qi simply took her to the factory in the western suburbs.
Fan Xiaoling was a little nervous. What kind of actual combat method was it?
After arriving at the place, the two of them first busied themselves setting up the tent and awning, getting the generator, turning on the refrigeration equipment, installing tables and chairs, and putting out a popcorn machine and juicer, as well as an electric grill and a barbecue grill. There was also a small refrigerator next to it, which contained some frozen ingredients and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Fan Xiaoling was confused. Was she not here to practice but to camp?
"Sit down and have a glass of juice first." Wen Qi said, "Wait a little longer, it should be here soon."
Fan Xiaoling held the cold juice in her hand, sat on the chair next to her, and asked doubtfully, "Is he my actual combat target?"
Wen Qi thought about it and said, "Let's just consider him as a sparring partner."
Fan Xiaoling is a little looking forward to it. Who will be the sparring partner?
Within ten minutes, a roar was heard outside the factory.
In less than two seconds, a very familiar sports car stopped next to their tent.
Mingren opened the door and got out of the car with an annoyed look on his face.
Fan Xiaoling was not surprised at all. She smiled and waved at him, "Thank you for your hard work. You came to practice with me in such a hot day."
Mingren glanced at her awkwardly and said nothing.
Wen Qi laughed and said, "You have to be Mingren's sparring partner, too."
Fan Xiaoling was very shocked. "We are all friends. If you want to kill me, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush!"
Mingren laughed, then covered his face in embarrassment and said, "I don't use paper figurines or magic tools or runes. I only use spells to fight. Don't worry, as long as you run fast, I shouldn't be able to hit you."
Fan Xiaoling's brows slowly frowned, and she delivered a fatal blow, "But, aren't you a high-level Heavenly Master?"
Is it reasonable that her level of sorcery is the same as that of someone preparing for the first exam for Heavenly Master?
Mingren felt as if he was stabbed by someone. His body swayed and he said with difficulty: "... Please shut up and start quickly."
