Chapter 129
The shock to their worldview this time made these ten people temporarily put aside their arrogance.
——After all, they have been slapped in the face so many times that even fools have learned their lesson.
The two apps that had been gathering dust in their phones were finally remembered by their owners, and the ten of them quickly browsed the information inside.
Because Xie Yuanzhi had emphasized this to them before, they were very good at using search software to see what reality was like when they watched all the videos.
Because of this, they soon realized that the so-called homeless assistance was actually to make these homeless people queue up for food continuously, which would consume their physical strength and energy and prevent them from fighting.
However, as long as you queue up, you will have food to eat and be able to sustain your life. This is really hard to describe for those who know Feng Chao’s cultivation world.
"No wonder Fellow Daoist Bai took in a girl who is said to be able to farm in addition to his daughter in the mortal world."
The junior sister from the Biyu Sect muttered.
The people present nodded in agreement.
"Friend Bai has really worked very hard for her son. She was clearly the most beautiful girl in Huanhai Sect, but now she has to learn farming for her son."
Another senior sister said with regret.
When this matter was first reported, most people did not believe it. Only after Bai Fenglin admitted it himself did they believe that Bai Fenglin really started working in the fields in order to feed his son Wang Chao.
"Bai Fenglin really dotes on his children. You may not know that when the two worlds first merged, Bai Fenglin dressed up specially in order to leave a good impression on the two children."
The eldest sister of the Biyu Sect said with a sigh, "As soon as she arrived in the mortal world, she heard her son crying. Fellow Daoist Bai felt the child and found that his spine was broken. It took a lot of effort to save him with a pill. But when she turned around, she saw that her daughter's foot was also disabled."
"What mother could bear to see this? Brother Bai went crazy immediately."
After the eldest sister of the Bi Yu Sect finished speaking, she planned to go drink some water first, but she was dragged by her younger sister and couldn't move. The younger sister was still muttering to herself.
"Senior sister, what happens next?"
The junior sister asked excitedly.
The eldest sister also quickly said succinctly: "After that, you all knew everything, didn't you? The mortal world changed dynasties, and the previous culprit emperor was forced to have his feet bound by Fellow Daoist Bai, and now it is being exhibited in various places."
"But after that, Fellow Daoist Bai became particularly protective of the child, fearing that someone would harm her child, and she did everything herself."
They had a great time chatting here, but after collecting most of the information, they felt the situation was a bit tricky.
Although they knew that promotional videos and reality could not be consistent, this inconsistency was too great!
The unlucky monks who were driven here to open up the wasteland began to feel a headache after looking at the information.
In the end, it was Long Feng who came out to make a summary.
"…Racial discrimination is quite serious in this country, and it is very predatory. I guess people will still come to contact us and try to recruit us. This is a common situation. And their so-called basic benefits require medical insurance."
As Long Feng spoke, he summarized the information he had just collected about Country A and told it to the others present.
Most people only have one reaction after hearing this.
“…”
Everyone was a little speechless. This was the reality. How dare they shoot such a promotional video?
However, this also proves that being thick-skinned really can make you invincible.
Even they were fooled and really thought that Country A was not that bad.
However, after reading the information, it is still a question of where they can find good seedlings.
The unlucky people present looked at each other in bewilderment. Did they have to go back to the starting point of collecting information?
After all, forget about the homeless people in City B. They will definitely not agree to their conditions, but the others have their own concerns...
The world of cultivation is indeed quite far away from Country A. After all, it is across two spaces.
And those who have burdens and concerns may not come back once a year. If something happens at home and you are unable to get there in time, it will eventually become a psychological barrier.
It would be better to exclude these people from the beginning.
Now everyone present started to look worried, and this worried look lasted for two days.
They still haven't found a way to bring people back.
Xie Yuanzhi seemed to have noticed their worried expressions. During afternoon tea time one day, he placed an invitation and a few amusement park tickets and said.
"Everyone, go have some fun and relax."
The black-haired young man said with a smile.
And the ten people who have been in a pretty bad mood these days: ...a little moved.
The black-haired young man smiled and asked them where they wanted to go, and he could arrange it.
The junior sister cheered and wanted to pick up the invitation to the banquet.
—Then he let it go under the death gaze of his senior sister.
Then, amid the laughter, they decided who would go to the party, who would go to the amusement park, and who would go to the oceanarium.
The black-haired young man did not feel sad because of the monks' distrust. He still kept a smile on his face and helped them arrange their future itinerary.
The expression on the black-haired young man's face disappeared only when he returned to the room.
[The host didn't expect you to be so kind that you actually took them to the banquet to play.] 777 said jokingly to Gu Youxing who had returned to the room.
[It was also a tacit understanding among everyone that their progress in opening up the wasteland was slow during this period, and they would definitely be scolded when they returned to the fairyland, so it would be better to do something that seemed busy but actually had little effect. ]
Gu Youxing said as he sorted out his clothes.
[So, host, you are really kind this time? You didn't even refute me.] 777 said in a cheerful tone.
[It's half-hearted, after all, there are things at the banquet that need their help, otherwise this scene won't last. ]
Gu Youxing pinched the back of his neck and shook his head and said.
[I told you, host, that you are not such a kind person,] 777 said as if it was expected, [But you actually arranged something for the banquet? Host, do you have a new idea?]
[I guess so.] Gu Youxing's mind flashed over the Feng Dynasty that had been taken as a possession by the Huanhai Sect, the cultivation world that he could not interfere with, and the fairy world where class rigidity had reached the extreme.
——And someone is preparing to intervene in the Special Administration.
[I always feel that if I don't change, I will be dragged into their rules of the game, and then be defeated by their rich experience. ]
So... you still have to have your own rules of the game.
*
Ruan family.
At the extravagant banquet, guests in various evening gowns, holding wine glasses, moved among the crowd.
The hosts of the banquet, the head of the Ruan family and his wife, also smiled politely among the crowd.
This made the guests who knew the current situation of the Ruan family feel that the couple was very patient.
The Ruan family had lost a huge sum of money in the new energy field before, and they had finally gotten out of it with some damage done. Although it was not a serious injury, their family was not having a good time under the suppression of the Xie family.
This time, the marriage with a wealthy family in City B is also for the purpose of combining the two powers.
The head of the Ruan family looked at the engagement ceremony. His tall and handsome son was whispering with his future wife at the door. Although he could obviously feel that they were strangers, as long as he didn't dislike each other, he would already be a winner.
Moreover, a business marriage is all about binding interests. If there is any affection between the two, Mr. Ruan would be worried.
Father Ruan shifted his gaze away from his son and glanced at the guests present, fearing that anyone was slacking off.
There is nothing good about it.
——Even Gao Wenjun seemed to be doing nothing.
This made Father Ruan quite satisfied. He exchanged a glance with Mother Ruan beside him. Both of their curved eyes were filled with a look of expectation.
After learning about the special situation in City B, the Ruan family specially selected a daughter of average looks to avoid the possibility of their son being cuckolded after marriage.
Facts have proved that what the Ruan family did this time was right. Although the daughter of that family also raised a few wolfhounds, she was much more knowledgeable than those beautiful daughters in City B.
If something like multiple women sharing one man happened in other cities, even if country A had an open-minded society, it would still be a very shocking thing.
What's even more shocking is that these rich girls seemed to have been drugged and simply didn't listen to their family members. They directly and loudly announced their relationship with Gao Wenjun.
This made the family furious, but they soon calmed down because Gao Wenjun brought benefits to the family after all.
Although some people have discovered that among these people there are even some heirs who were previously trained as the focus of their families.
But the family of the original heir didn't think it was a big deal. After all, they knew their daughter and it was just for fun.
——Until they discovered that their heir was using the family resources to support Gao Wenjun.
This time they couldn't tolerate it anymore, so they made Gao Wenjun's behavior public and even wanted to destroy his company.
But from the fact that Gao Wenjun still appears here in such a glamorous manner, while those families are not even qualified to appear at this banquet, it can be seen who has won the final victory.
And precisely because of this, Mr. and Mrs. Ruan were extremely wary of Gao Wenjun.
According to incomplete statistics, Gao Wenjun attended hundreds of banquets in the six years since he appeared.
——There is not a single one that goes smoothly!
And it's basically a scene where the hero saves the beauty, and then the hero and the beauty end up together.
Although there were some big shots who admired this person very much because of unexpected events, more often than not, he won the hearts of those daughters of rich families or ladies after a banquet.
This made the Ruan family, who knew Gao Wenjun would come, immediately highly alert.
They didn't expect Gao Wenjun to come, and even if Shen Nanye came, they wouldn't be so confused.
Fortunately, the result is good.
Mr. and Mrs. Ruan looked at the waiters around them who were all wearing masks and thought with a smile.
——The Ruan family replaced all the waiters at the banquet with men of average appearance. Although there were female waiters, they were all concentrated on the female guests' side and they all had average appearance as well.
The kind without makeup.
However, for the sake of the eyes of all the guests present, the Ruan family still asked the waiters to wear masks.
And up to now, no waiter or rich girl has come near Gao Wenjun, which already represents success.
Father Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, as Gao Wenjun had managed to prevent the attack. However, he felt a little helpless when he thought of another troublesome thing that happened tonight.
"Lolo still doesn't want to come down?" Father Ruan asked Mother Ruan while covering his mouth with the wine glass.
Ruan's mother kept smiling, but her eyes showed annoyance.
Their banquet was full of disasters. Because of that special guest, they had to install all-round cameras at the banquet, and now Ruan Luo had something else going on...
"I just asked Ling Wei to go up and persuade him. If he gets a little closer to his cousin, maybe what Ling Wei said will work."
Just as Mother Ruan finished speaking, she saw Ling Wei walking down the stairs next to the banquet hall.
Facing the expectant look in Ruan's mother's eyes, Ling Wei smiled gently and nodded to her.
Ruan's father and mother knew that Ruan Luo was willing to come out this time, and they couldn't help but show a little bit of it on their faces.
Ling Wei watched as Ruan's father and mother walked over and whispered, "Lolo is willing to come out now, but he's still a little off. He should come out for a while and then go back. After all, there's a special guest tonight."
Ling Wei's words made Ruan's father and mother nod their heads heavily, but as long as Ruan Luo showed up, he would have completed his mission for tonight.
Ling Wei looked at her aunt and uncle's heavy expressions and felt quite sympathetic towards them both.
Even when he walked back to Gao Wenjun, he couldn't stop sighing.
Gao Wenjun even looked at her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Weiwei?"
"It's just a little sad. My aunt and uncle used to be able to rank high in the capital thanks to the Xie family. However, just a few months later, the Ruan family has become what it is now."
Ling Wei shook her head and whispered.
Hearing this, Gao Wenjun patted Ling Wei on the shoulder and said, "Many people have suffered heavy losses due to new energy in the past few months. This is normal. Look at the Liu family in the capital. They almost spent all their savings to buy new energy vehicles. What about now?"
Ling Wei recalled what she had seen in various news columns before, such as the arrest of the young master of the Liu family, the arrest of the head of the Liu family, the arrest of the wife of the Liu family for tax evasion... and so on. Ling Wei no longer had any thoughts of sadness over the passing of time.
The news column has been more lively in the past few months than in the previous years, which has really opened Ling Wei's eyes.
Gao Wenjun had expected this, after all, he had heard about some of these things, but he had never told Ling Wei about them before, after all, these things could easily make Ling Wei uncomfortable.
As expected, Ling Wei looked a little uncomfortable now. Gao Wenjun immediately stopped the topic and asked, "Weiwei, what did you do to help the Ruan family just now?"
Ling Wei also broke away from her previous emotions and said, “I just went to help persuade my little cousin. The child didn’t want to come out after hearing that Ana Shen was among the guests tonight. The child was really scared after experiencing what happened before.”
As Ling Wei spoke, a hint of worry appeared on her pretty face. Gao Wenjun reached out and gently smoothed Ling Wei's frown.
"The child has never experienced any major storms, so this is normal. But have you considered forced desensitization now?"
Gao Wenjun's actions made Ling Wei blush, but after hearing what Gao Wenjun said, Ling Wei began to think about whether this treatment plan was feasible.
Gao Wenjun smiled sarcastically in his heart.
I don’t know how the Ruan family educates their children. At the age of 22, he is still so fragile that he asks his fiancée to coax others. They are also in their early twenties. Fortunately, he doesn’t have such people under his command.
Sheng Xingsi is also in his twenties, in fact, he is only twenty, two years younger than the little wimp of the Ruan family.
At this time, Gao Wenjun realized the benefits of being popular.
Although he acts a little recklessly, has a lot of money, and deserves a beating...but Sheng Xingsi can really take charge when it matters.
"As expected, subordinates must be compared. If I had someone like Ruan Luo under my command..."
Gao Wenjun shuddered. This idea was too scary. Subconsciously, he began to look for Sheng Xingsi.
Then he saw Sheng Xing Si, whom he had just praised in his mind, talking to a fat man next to the dessert table.
——Judging from the crumbs on the plate in his hand, he had already shown off three small cakes.
*
Director Wang was showing off the small cakes at the dessert table. To be honest, he really didn't know that small cakes could be made so delicious, and judging from the taste, Ruan's coffee brownies were definitely not made with instant coffee.
"This is good, Xiao Sheng, try it."
Director Wang pointed at the coffee brownie and said, Director Wang used his taste buds to prove that his weight was definitely caused by what he ate.
The young man wearing small round sunglasses naturally tried it as well. The slightly bitter taste made the young man squint his eyes, and then he gave Director Wang a thumbs up.
Director Wang was proud of his taste, while lamenting that he had thought that tonight's party would be boring, looking for investors, chatting with people, and eating a small cake would be lonely as snow, but he didn't expect to meet Xiaosheng.
Although Sheng Xingsi and Wen Li's sudden announcement of their identities caught him off guard when recording the show, the subsequent traffic still allowed Director Wang to reap the benefits.
Afterwards, Director Wang reached a cooperation with Huayin. Now Director Wang is already the number one director of variety shows, with a huge difference from the second one.
The benefit of this is that Director Wang will no longer be short of investment.
However, having no shortage of investment does not mean that Director Wang can just sleep at home and wait for money to fall from the sky. He still has to attend these banquets.
This time, Director Wang was a little surprised that the Ruan family would send an invitation to him, a director with little background, but when he saw Ruan Luo appear, he understood that it was probably the Ruan family's way of paving the way for Ruan Luo.
However, Director Wang did not have any feelings. After all, even if the Ruan family wanted to force Ruan Luo, they had to consider Ruan Luo's popularity.
Ruan Luo is now being scolded by the entire Internet. Even if he is pushed hard, any fool will know that this is the power of capital.
After Director Wang figured this out, he naturally let himself go at the banquet. While Director Wang was enjoying his meal and still recommending a small cake to Sheng Xingsi, a man walked past him in a menacing manner, and the aura of the man frightened Director Wang so much that he almost choked.
Fortunately, this person didn't seem to care much about Director Wang. After Director Wang drank a glass of champagne, he turned around and saw the familiar boss walking directly behind Sheng Xingsi.
——Then he carried the person away like a cat.
Although Gao Wenjun looked a little exhausted and his face turned red, and Sheng Xingsi's two long legs looked a little out of place, fortunately they managed to take the person away in the end.
However, Director Wang was a little confused by this sudden incident, and then he remembered that this big guy seemed to be the one who had argued with Xie Pingyuan when the program went wrong.
But time flies so fast. One of the two people who had been arguing has been imprisoned. Although the other one is still outside, he has also suffered heavy losses and was even accused of being a traitor.
However, Gao Wenjun later proved his taste with his dozen lovers.
But he still earned a reputation as a playboy in the circle.
After watching Gao Wenjun take the man away, Director Wang angrily scolded Sheng Xingsi. However, Shengsi, wearing small round sunglasses, looked up and down but not at Gao Wenjun, with an expression like "who cares about me" which made Gao Wenjun very angry.
Director Wang even heard Sheng Xingsi arrogantly say to Gao Wenjun: "...What does the glissando have to do with me? I'm just a second-generation rich kid who lives a life of idleness. If you have any problems, go find my dad."
Director Wang was so stunned after hearing this that he didn't even notice Director Yang coming over and snatching away his last piece of cake.
"Okay, Xiao Wang, stop watching. You'd better not get involved in the matter between Xiao Sheng and Mr. Gao. Their affairs involve that world."
Director Yang has been in this circle for a long time, so she naturally knows some inside information, she said calmly.
Director Wang also knew that Director Yang's words were a reminder to him, so he quickly retracted his gaze, and when he turned around, he saw that the small cake on his plate was gone.
"Teacher!" Wang Dao shouted subconsciously, but when he turned around and saw his teacher with a look of "What do you think, you hit me?", he just silently suffered the loss and turned around to choose another small cake.
"Teacher, were you also invited by the Ruan family? It seems that their family has really invested a lot to pave the way for Ruan Luo."
After eating a piece of cake, Director Wang calmed down. He looked at his teacher and said.
"Almost. I'll take a look at what new people are coming into the circle, and also see if the backers behind all the old people in the circle have collapsed."
Director Yang said calmly: "After all, the new energy investment has exploded so badly that some people in the industry may have to beg for mercy."
Director Wang also nodded and said, "Indeed, we still have to come and take a look at this critical period."
As he was talking, a middle-aged man in a blue suit happened to pass by the dessert counter. Director Yang poked Director Wang and said, "Hey, that's one of them, his last name is Wu. The entertainment company he runs, which is almost his harem, hasn't been doing well recently."
"He misappropriated the company's funds to invest in new energy. It is said that it was the young man surnamed Liu who was arrested in the capital before who brought the money. He went through a lot of hardships to get the money, but in the end..."
Director Yang sneered and lowered his head to finish the last piece of cake.
Director Wang then remembered who that Wu was. He was a manager who started out as a pimp and then the boss took the lead in finding sponsors for the artists in the company.
Even those who play dirty in the circle don't want to be associated with him. In the past few months, he has been curious why he hasn't shown up for a while. Now he understands that this guy's boat capsized and he is now looking for a rope everywhere.
Director Wang drank the water in one gulp and then looked away. He didn't intend to have any contact with this person. If something happened, he wouldn't be able to explain it even if he could.
but……
Did he smell something from that person, and that smell seemed a little familiar.
Director Wang, who was not a big fan of incense, looked away in confusion.
However, when Director Wang casually shifted his gaze, he happened to meet Gao Wenjun and Sheng Xingsi.
Sheng Xingsi was smiling in a particularly annoying way and was isolating all the women around Gao Wenjun, which made Gao Wenjun's face full of black lines.
On the side, Gao Wenjun's fiancée was laughing happily.
There is no elitist look at all.
Director Wang watched and forgot how much power those two people had behind them.
Not to mention the surveillance personnel who followed the whole process from beginning to end in front of the monitors.
"Boss, they don't seem very reliable. Can Gao Wenjun really complete the mission?" The surveillance officer said hesitantly while looking at the surveillance camera.
Under Sheng Xingsi's leadership just now, Gao Wenjun looked like his mental age was definitely no more than six years old, and even the way children quarreled was revealed.
The monitoring personnel were quite worried about this.
After all, this mission is really important and involves those ancient martial arts masters with special abilities.
"It's normal that they are just playing around. After all, they are young people." Director Yang said, looking at the surveillance camera in front of him.
As expected, Gao Wenjun and Sheng Xingsi were soon suppressed by Ling Wei and quieted down.
Director Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still nervous, but her expression didn't change much.
After all, this is the first time that those ancient martial arts practitioners with special abilities have come into contact with ordinary people on a large scale.
...Although they had some contact with ordinary people before, those ordinary people basically did not interact with them for a long time.
This banquet was the first time that those ancient martial arts practitioners with special abilities came into contact with ordinary people on a large scale.
Of course the same goes for amusement parks.
Even Director Yang suspected that Xie Yuanzhi had discovered something, which was why he dispersed these ancient martial arts practitioners to other places.
——After all, they would indeed be short of manpower.
This is also why Gu Youxing did not appear here. He had to stay in the surveillance car next to the amusement park.
Director Yang looked at the people who were almost at the entrance of the banquet hall and immediately called the security guards to gather at the entrance.
At the banquet, Mr. and Mrs. Ruan looked at the security personnel gathered at the door with some surprise - they didn't seem to let the security personnel move.
Could it be that something happened? Ruan's father and mother frowned and thought, subconsciously protecting Ruan Luo who was finally willing to come down behind them.
Ruan Luo also seemed to feel uneasy and was trembling.
He was like an ostrich during this period of time. He couldn't bear to hear anything about the Xie family and even didn't want to get involved in the entertainment industry.
He even considered quitting the circle, but seeing the public opinion that was quite similar to the situation of the entire network blackening in the original text, Ruan Luo did not dare to quit the circle, for fear that he would be wiped out by the world as soon as he quit.
So Ruan Luo could only live in pain, wondering if the ending would be different if he had followed the original plot.
My brother wouldn't marry such an ugly woman for a business marriage.
Ruan Luo thought painfully.
His tears were about to fall, but in the end he wiped them away himself, looked towards the door, and prepared to be a mascot to see if he could change the reputation.
After all, he is the protagonist, so maybe there will be a way to twist the situation?
Ruan Luo thought hopefully.
At this time, as the door was pushed open, the first person to appear was a group of security personnel, which surprised the guests present.
He was so arrogant when attending the banquet. Could he be the child of some congressman?
Not a member of Congress, however.
— are much more important than members of Congress.
The four people who appeared at the banquet under the escort of security personnel immediately made the scene quiet.
"Everyone, long time no see."
Xie Yuanzhi, who looked rosy-cheeked, spoke to everyone with a smile.
——It was as if it was their illusion that he and his companions had turned the entire Ocean Goddess upside down in front of everyone and then just ran away.
The guests present wanted to scream, and some even took out their cell phones to call the police. In their eyes, this gentle young man was the same person as his crazy companion.
No one expected that the young man would appear at the banquet openly, which must be a collaboration with the officials of Country A.
Perhaps it was not that they did not expect it, but that they lost their composure in panic.
The young man seemed quite confused about the scene he had created, but the couple behind him frowned.
Without waiting for the young man to say anything, the man and woman reached for a palm-sized bag around their waists in front of all of them.
Then, in a very unscientific way, he drew out two long swords that were half a person's height.
Aimed at them.
