Chu Qianli's professional selection meeting did not go smoothly.

The family discussed for a long time without any result. Chu Qianli didn't take it seriously, and others didn't want to force her.

Finally, Yu Xin announced the end of the family meeting. Chu Qianli then went upstairs happily and returned to her room to continue studying the Red Crystal Tarot.

He Shichen did not leave immediately. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Dad, is there any follow-up to what happened not long ago?"

He Zhenghe: "I asked someone about it and found out that there is indeed a Ziwei Haomen, which is quite famous in the south. Although it is not as influential as Qianshan, many CEOs have gone there to have their fortunes told."

"But this kind of thing is really hard to investigate. The guy who was arrested last time was the one who took the blame. These guys are very smart."

He Shichen: "What should we do now? It's not a good idea to keep her locked up all the time."

He Shichen used to help Chu Qianli hide the truth at school and didn't mention the fact that she stole things for money, but now someone tried to steal things, he immediately realized that the situation had changed and he had to let his parents know about it.

This time they are looking for He Shichen, next time they might catch her, so parents should also be mentally prepared.

Yu Xin said, "You have to go to school when school starts. It's OK if your family takes you to and from school. I got Qianli a tracking backpack and turned on the tracking function on her phone. Let's take precautions."

He Zhenghe sighed, "Otherwise, just hire a bodyguard. If you really ask her not to do these things and not go out, she will probably feel bad. The more you forbid a child to do something, the more stubborn she will be. When she is tired after torturing herself, she will naturally be too lazy to do it again."

"This is just like you before. You refused to buy anything your uncle told you to buy, and insisted on researching and buying it yourself. Only after you lost money did you learn your lesson." Yu Xin said with a smile, "You are trying to persuade her now, but she has never experienced it, so it's useless to say more."

When He Shichen heard about the dark history, he lowered his head to cover it up and pretended to be calm, "...Mom, there's no need to use my childhood as an example. I can understand."

The summer vacation is over and the students in the class are officially entering their senior year of high school. According to their different development plans, they naturally have to take different courses.

As soon as Qiu Qingkong entered the classroom, she excitedly came to find Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing to chat about volunteering. She often video chatted with Chu Qianli during the holidays, but she rarely met with Tan Muxing. At this time, she asked in surprise: "Have you lost weight?"

Tan Muxing waved his hands embarrassedly: "No, no..."

Chu Qianli interrupted: "I just said I lost weight! He argued with me for a long time, saying that his weight didn't change!"

Tan Muxing said helplessly: "But the numbers have not changed."

Qiu Qingkong was surprised: "So you have heavy bones? You do look thinner."

Chu Qianli: "Before, it was a polar bear with abundant food, but now it is a polar bear with scarce supplies."

Tan Muxing whispered, "...I almost suspected that you were conspiring to deceive me, so why do I feel like you haven't changed?"

"You must not be noticeable if you look at yourself every day."

The three exchanged some interesting stories about the summer vacation. Qiu Qingkong was very upset when she learned that the two had returned to the village. She was very upset and felt that she was being excluded. She could not help but complain uncomfortably.

Tan Muxing said in panic: "Ah, actually I just made this decision on the spur of the moment, otherwise..."

Chu Qianli: "Otherwise you can follow me next time, but you can't even order milk tea there."

Qiu Qingkong's expression changed in an instant, and he changed his words: "Oh, forget it. If you want to travel to a bustling big city in the future, please ask me to go. I still want to go to a place with milk tea."

Chu Qianli raised her eyebrows: "Isn't our relationship worth you returning to the village for me? Just don't drink milk tea for a week!"

Qiu Qingkong hesitated and said, "Well... don't ask such hurtful questions..."

Chu Qianli: “?”

There are not many students in private high schools, and basically all of them will be paid attention to by teachers. Everyone has different goals for college, so the courses they take in the third year of high school are naturally different. Domestic students and those who go abroad have different plans.

"Teacher, have you decided on your target school?" Qiu Qingkong was eager to try. "Study TOEFL with me. If you are good at English, you can apply to study abroad!"

Chu Qianli's grades fluctuate in a very strange way. He is good at subjects related to stars, such as the movement of celestial bodies in physics and some content in history, but the problem is that he has learned in depth but not on a wide range.

For example, Chu Qianli can use the Hun Tian Yi, but for history learning, it is enough to just know about this thing, and what she is good at is often not used in exams.

"I'm not sure whether I should go abroad..." Chu Qianli lowered her eyes, "I haven't even decided on a major yet."

"Huh? But we have to confirm it right away?" Qiu Qingkong was surprised. "He Shichen is studying in China, and then he will study abroad for graduate school."

This is a good route, you can feel the environment on both sides.

Tan Muxing listened quietly. He immediately understood his deskmate's concerns and asked gently, "Don't think about domestic or foreign studies first. What majors are you interested in?"

"No..." Chu Qianli lay on the table in distress. She suddenly turned her head to look at Tan Muxing and said abruptly, "What major do you want to apply for? I might as well follow you."

Chu Qianli thought that university major was unimportant, and this was not something she had thought carefully about at the moment, so she might as well just go with it.

Tan Muxing was stunned when he heard this, and said, "I..."

Qiu Qingkong: "Yes, what do you want to learn? You never told me."

Tan Muxing faced their questions with a trembling gaze. He could not answer for a long time. Finally, he stole a glance at his deskmate and confessed in a tangled tone: "...I haven't decided yet. I wanted to see what you applied for."

Qiu Qingkong was surprised and said, "Good fellow, are you two waiting for each other?"

Chu Qianli made a decisive decision: "That's great, you choose now, and I don't have to think about it!"

Tan Muxing said hurriedly: "No, no, no, it depends on your interest..."

"I'm not interested, so I'll just follow your choice so I can copy my homework in college!"

“…”

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing started to shirk responsibility, but Qiu Qingkong couldn't stand it anymore and suggested, "Tan Muxing, why don't you just apply to Peking University or Tsinghua University? Maybe the teacher gritted his teeth and got in just to cheat on the homework!"

Tan Muxing complained: "...I've already been admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, do I still need to cheat on my homework?"

Qiu Qingkong: "You don't have to take the same major. I think it's OK to go to the same school or the same university town. Then you won't have a deskmate."

Chu Qianli thought for a moment and asked Tan Muxing: "If I were not here, what would you want to learn?"

Qiu Qingkong secretly muttered: "Tsk tsk, it was a good decision for me to go abroad, I am so bright..."

Tan Muxing asked her seriously, and his heart was inexplicably stabbed, and he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know?"

"Maybe literature? Philosophy?" Tan Muxing wanted to hide his emotions, so he quickly changed the subject and explained, "The main art majors require art exams, and making clothes is just a hobby for me, so it's better for me to study basic subjects."

Tan Muxing remembered something and smiled gently, "Oh, right, don't you like Marxism-Leninism? Why don't you study this? We are in the same academy and it's easy to run into each other."

Tan Muxing is more interested in foreign philosophy, and can also get some inspiration for clothing. Some universities do not have specific directions in the early undergraduate period, and all philosophy courses are mixed together.

"That's fine." Chu Qianli thought her deskmate's idea was good. As long as there was a major, it would be fine. She said thoughtfully, "But you chose your major so casually. Is it true that once you have enough money, you can just learn something that doesn't make money?"

"You don't make money studying Marxism?"

"No, if you learn it, you can let others make money for you."

“…”

Chu Qianli can satisfy her family by choosing a good major. There are many universities in the country that have philosophy departments. It depends on how she performs in the final exam and what level of institution she can get into.

Chu Qianli's grades were inferior to Tan Muxing's. She first went into the office to talk to her class teacher about her intentions, and when she came out she saw her deskmate waiting in line.

When Tan Muxing saw her coming out, he was about to go into the house to talk to the teacher, but she blocked his way for no reason. He asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Chu Qianli hesitated for a few seconds, and she whispered: "Actually, you don't have to cooperate with me. Just like Qiu Qingkong said, it's okay to be in the same university town. It doesn't have to be the same school."

She didn't want her deskmate to accommodate her and be forced to change her future direction.

Tan Muxing was stunned. He shook his head gently and said with a smile, "I'm not cooperating with you."

Chu Qianli: "But you usually score higher than me..."

"I'm really not cooperating with you. Just like what we talked about last time, I didn't decide what I wanted to study before, but now I've decided after thinking for myself."

Chu Qianli was skeptical: "Really?"

Tan Muxing nodded and smiled awkwardly, "Do I look too clueless? You don't believe it?"

"I really didn't have a strong ambition before..." Tan Muxing shook his head awkwardly, then his eyes calmed down and he said softly, "But now I know what I'm doing better than anyone else."

He has been living in a carefree family since he was born, and he always felt that it didn't matter if he didn't fight over anything. But now he finds that there are always things in the world that matter.

He had always been drifting with the flow of the environment, but eventually the time came when he had to go against the flow. This was a decision he made after careful consideration, and it was also the first time he made a choice on his own initiative.

Chu Qianli said nothing.

Tan Muxing encouraged him, "And maybe you can perform above your level in the exam? Look, Qiu Qingkong did very well in the last exam."

Chu Qianli heard his intention to persuade her to study, and said decisively: "Didn't she say that it was the magic of Qianshan Taoist Temple? I believe in Marxism, but there is no such buff. Let's be more objective!"

Tan Muxing: “?”

The hot summer is coming to an end, and the sky is clear and the breeze is gentle.

In a villa outside Beijing, a black car slowly stopped, the driver opened the door, and an old man got out. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, holding a wooden cane, with a hunched back, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

The crowd had been standing at the door for a long time. They rushed over like a swarm of swarms, saying happily, "Master Wan, long time no see!"

"What brings you here? The last time I saw you was three years ago. You haven't been here for a long time."

"I see that you are more energetic than before. You must be a good person in the South!"

Everyone around was flattering him enthusiastically, trying to welcome Wan Ketan into the house.

The next second, Wan Ketan started coughing violently, as if he was choked by something, and it took him a long time to calm down, which made the people around him very embarrassed. They had just praised his brilliance, but now the master seemed to be seriously ill.

"Are you all right? Come in and have some tea..."

"It's okay." After Wan Ketan recovered, he leaned on his wooden crutches and straightened his bent back. His voice was very deep. "The north is really tough. I'm not used to it at first."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly invited him into the house. They had asked Wan Ketan for help, so they were naturally very polite.

"I didn't see your disciple this time? Where is Master Liu?"

"Humph, useless thing, nothing more than an ungrateful wolf." Wan Ketan sneered, "It couldn't even wait for me to come over."

A few months ago, Liu Kaijia was arrested for making trouble in the imperial capital. Wan Ketan did not want to expose his connections in Beijing, so he did not reach out to arrest him immediately. He figured that his disciple was only detained, and if Liu Kaijia kept his mouth shut, he would not suffer any punishment in the future. Who would have thought that the other party would actually run away.

Wan Ketan was furious and wanted to track down the whereabouts of Liu Kai's family, but there was a distance limit for calculating people and things, and the scope would become blurry if the scope was too wide.

If Liu Kai's family just jumped to another province, they would disappear without a trace. In addition, the Hao family did not have much influence in the north, so they were really useless.

Wan Ketan had no choice but to fly here by himself. He was very famous in the south, and his influence had spread to the capital, so he was still a big name in the circle.

Inside the house, Wan Ketan took a sip of hot tea, looked around, and said politely, "Qianshan is the most famous in the imperial capital, but you are willing to give me a little face, I am really grateful."

Others hurriedly said, "No, no, Master Wan has helped us a lot before, this is nothing!"

"But the task you requested is a little tricky..."

"Master Wan, no matter how difficult your problem is, I will help you!"

"…The main thing is that the girl's family is quite well-connected, so we can't make things too embarrassing."

Wan Ketan said calmly: "I understand that everyone has concerns, but it's not a big deal. To be honest, she and I have a history. She should have learned our Haomen Ziwei. It's just a casual chat between the older and younger generations."

"Are you sure we just want to chat?" The people around were full of suspicion. They were not stupid either. It seemed that the He family had even called the police. This matter sounded strange.

Wan Ketan knew that they didn't dare to take risks, so he said meaningfully: "If you are afraid of getting into trouble, just give me a little help. You don't have to take the lead, just give me a little help."

"Please invite her here for me, and I'll talk to her. I promise nothing will happen."

"Okay." The others looked around, their faces showing hesitation, "...Since you said so, we must help."

Someone asked tentatively, "But to be honest, Master, you have everything you need, why did you suddenly think of looking for her?"

This group of people did not understand Wan Ketan at all. Master Wan already had a reputation and status, and had even become the head of the Hao Clan. Why would he suddenly want to look for younger generations from the same sect?

Wan Ketan's eyes deepened slightly. He pondered for a few seconds, pulled the corner of his mouth, and asked back: "Don't I lack anything?"

"Isn't it? What else do you need?"

Wan Ketan opened his mouth slightly, and just as he was about to answer, he started coughing violently again, like an old bellows, and couldn't stop at all.

The people around were frightened by what they saw. They hurriedly served tea and water, forgetting the topic they were talking about.

Chu Qianli lived a peaceful life in school. The study in the third year of high school was very busy. In her spare time, she studied the red crystal tarot and compass, so she didn't waste any time.

Sometimes she feels that her life is getting longer. This state of being scheduled every minute and every second makes it feel like the day will never end.

On Saturday, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing finished their cram school and walked out together, preparing to take a bus home.

Chu Qianli was carrying a heavy schoolbag and was almost crushed by life. She couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that living can be tiring."

"But after all the hard work, there are also gains?" Tan Muxing smiled, "Do you want to go for ice cream?"

Chu Qianli immediately put her worries behind her. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Yes!"

Qiu Qingkong is preparing to study abroad, and He Shichen's target school is higher. Only Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing can be in the same class during weekend tutoring.

The school gate was empty on Saturday, so the two of them turned to the corner to buy ice cream cones. They placed their orders at the counter, but when they turned around, they found that the store had suddenly become crowded with people, and even the clerks looked surprised.

The room suddenly became dark and crowded, completely different from when I entered.

A group of well-trained, uniformly dressed, burly men rushed in and directly blocked the door of the store. Their attitude was quite polite. They said solemnly, "Master Chu, please excuse me for taking up some of your time. Could you please come with us?"

Although the leader spoke with forced politeness, everyone could sense that he had ill intentions.

Chu Qianli was startled. She subconsciously calculated and murmured in astonishment: "I shouldn't have done that. I didn't expect something would happen today..."

If she had a disaster today, she would have made preparations in advance. It is impossible that her reputation would be ruined, right?

Tan Muxing frowned as he looked at the strange group of people. He turned back to look at his deskmate and asked, "Do you know them?"

Chu Qianli shook his head like a rattle: "Of course I don't know him! How long have I been locked up?"

He Shichen was fed up with her contact with people in society, so he asked her to practice exercises at home for the entire summer vacation.

Tan Muxing understood what was going on. He led her to the door and said calmly, "She doesn't even know you, so she can't follow you."

Tan Muxing was about to push the door open and leave, but the leading black-clad man grabbed the door handle first and said expressionlessly, "I still hope Master Chu will consider this. We promise not to keep you too long."

Tan Muxing turned around again and asked patiently, "Do you want to consider it?"

Chu Qianli shook her head wildly.

Tan Muxing: "She said she wouldn't consider it."

After Tan Muxing finished speaking, he grabbed the door handle, ignored the arm of the man in black above, and pushed the door open, allowing the wind outside to rush in.

That man did not expect Tan Muxing's amazing strength, and he was defeated in the contest of strength in an instant. He thought he could stop them, but now he almost fell out and stumbled on the spot.

Chu Qianli was a little nervous at first, but her deskmate walked out calmly, and she felt relieved. She followed him stealthily, eating a crispy tube as she went out.

There were people guarding outside the store. They refused to give up and were like a dark wall.

Tan Muxing was blocked to the left and to the right, and hesitantly asked, "...Are you going to take action?"

Tan Muxing was a little confused about the situation. This group of people were polite and did not use violence, but they were obviously not easy to deal with, which made it difficult for the peace advocates to judge. He never took the initiative to fight with others. It was basically when the other party took advantage of the strong to bully the weak that he had to intervene.

"No, you're kidding. Of course not." The man in black said, "I just hope Master Chu will reconsider. If you don't trust us, you can let your family car follow us."

Chu Qianli had just made a fortune to confirm that she was fine, and seeing that they were indeed outnumbered, she murmured softly: "... In this case... is it okay?"

It would not be a good idea for both parties to be deadlocked here, and since Tan Muxing was still around, she couldn't drag him into this.

Tan Muxing was stunned when he heard this and asked doubtfully, "Are you going?"

Chu Qianli: "But it's not good to be stuck here all the time. If the family car can follow, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Okay, then I'll call and ask the family car to come over." Tan Muxing did not go against her idea. He took out his cell phone and made a call, and was not stopped by the man in black.

Chu Qianli was surprised: "Do you want to follow?"

"Of course, we can't let you go alone."

The man in black did not stop the two people who were making the phone call. He thought that two private cars picking up students were nothing, but he did not expect that three minutes later the road would be completely blocked.

The men in black drove three cars and parked them neatly in the parking spaces beside the road, looking quite impressive. However, after Tan Muxing finished the call, five or six cars drove into the avenue and surrounded the three cars from all sides.

A large number of people got out of the car. The driver of the stretched sedan was someone Chu Qianli had seen before, but the others were all unfamiliar faces.

The men in black surrounded Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing. After the Tan family got out of the car, they surrounded the men in black again, instantly turning into a three-color spring roll!

The driver of the limousine noticed that Tan Muxing was surrounded. He looked unhappy and asked, "What is this for?"

The driver was strong and muscular, and looked like he had experience in the military, and his voice sounded menacing.

The man in black was acting with ease and confidence just now, but he was stunned when he saw this scene. He had no idea when so many cars appeared on the empty street. He was anxious and stunned for a moment!

Tan Muxing usually sent Chu Qianli to the car first, and then quietly went to take the family car, so she only remembered the extended car to the compound. She and Qiu Qingkong had taken other cars in his family, but she really didn't expect that there were so many cars for school pick-ups! ?

Chu Qianli was originally surprised at her deskmate's calmness, but now, looking at the grand scene, she voiced the black-clad man's inner complaints and said in shock, "Is he calling for the family car to come over? Is this a family convoy?!"

Tan Muxing said awkwardly and ashamedly: "My grandmother always reads news about children being kidnapped, so she insisted that they follow her. I have no choice..."

The children in the family got rid of this matter only when they were in college, and politely rejected their grandmother's suffocating love. Tan Muxing was originally soft-hearted, but he couldn't refuse the kindness of his elders, so he could only let other cars hide, and even got on the car quietly after school.

Chu Qianli looked at the pale-faced man in black. She put her hands on her hips proudly and said decisively, "I think you can take up some more of my time!"

Man in black: “…”

He felt that if he took this large group of people back, he didn't know who would go.
