Chapter Forty-Three: The Northwest Wind in Winter



"First place, Binnan District Longyue Lihei Team."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in applause, which was like a tidal wave. At that moment, apart from a few people who might have felt envy or jealousy, most people offered their blessings.

What's even more surprising is that the first and second place winners in this person's points are from the same group and also from the Binnan District. Many team leaders have started to envy the Binnan District, wondering what kind of luck they have that the first, second, and third place winners are all from the same place.

Xu Yihai was still standing on the square, so apart from the applause, there was no other sound.

Outside the concentration camp, however, such rules did not apply, and many people looked at Hu Yiguang with envy.

The first and second places are both in Binnan District. What incredible luck Binnan District had!

"Captain Hu, congratulations!"

"Captain Hu, you've really earned your respect this time."

"Captain Hu..."

Flattery and blessings poured in. Apart from Mo Huai and Xia Tiantian, who were already frozen in their tracks, everyone else held goodwill towards Hu Yiguang. No one expected that Binnan District, which usually kept a low profile, would make such great progress this time.

"Thank you, thank you!"

When Hu Yiguang answered the others, he gave Mo Huai and Xia Tiantian a provocative smile, which made the two of them so angry that they almost went berserk on the spot, but unfortunately, they couldn't.

If they really do that, not to mention anything else, it will probably be on the news right away. They will lose face, and the Binbei District will lose face too. At that time, it would be strange if the leaders didn't skin them alive.

Faced with Hu Yiguang's smug smile, they could only stare helplessly. Moreover, what worried them even more was the region's ranking; if the region fell behind, then…

Mo Huai and Xia Tiantian exchanged a glance and simultaneously shivered.

Soon, the regional rankings were also released, and Binbei District ranked sixteenth!

Mo Huai, pale: It's all over, it's all over...

As if struck by lightning, the two men turned pale. "Now, how are we going to explain this when we get back?"

They came full of confidence and assurances, but returned worse off than a defeated rooster. This...

On the contrary, Hu Yiguang was beaming, and even walked with a slight sway. He was number one in Binnan District, number one, hahaha!

Binnan District is actually number one! That's great! Now Binnan District will receive more resources, and the center of gravity of the entire Shangjing will shift towards Binnan District.

Ordinary people may not feel anything, but for a leader, the impact of this will be enormous on the Binnan District.

Hu Yiguang was overjoyed. Although he didn't know the details of the battlefield, just by looking at the first and second place winners, he knew that they must be involved. He would ask them about it when they came out.

Oh, and they deserve a reward too; they are heroes, great heroes.

With the head of Shangjing about to retire, leaders from all four regions are vying for that position. Although the three first-place rankings in Binnan District are not enough to have a significant impact, they will undoubtedly sound much better to the public, which is more advantageous for them.

After the meeting concluded in the square, General Xu Yihai uttered his last words and hurriedly left.

"The reward will be directly deposited into your personal computer account!"

Longyue couldn't remember anything else, but she remembered this sentence clearly. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Li Hei, "Friend, we're rich!"

Li Hei: (ー_ー)!!

"Oborozuki, you're obsessed with money!"

Longyue nodded and readily agreed, "Isn't there nothing I can do about it? I'm poor, and if I don't work hard, I'll be left with nothing but the first gust of northwest wind in winter."

Li Hei: What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!

"Cough cough!" Zhu Yan coughed twice in a mournful tone as he listened to the conversation between the two.

"Captain Yan, is your throat sore?"

Zhu Yan: ...

"Rich lady, do you need a bodyguard? How about me? I'm absolutely capable of both offense and defense, extremely skilled, efficient, and decisive!"

Longyue took a step back and shook her head. "I don't lack bodyguards, I only lack money!"

Undeterred, Zhu Yan continued, "Rich lady, the spirit coins in your account are probably dozens of times more than those in my pocket!"

"It's not enough!" Longyue sighed, still refusing.

Zhu Yan: "Are you a pig? Billions aren't enough for you to spend."

"Of course it's not enough. We don't have money, and we don't even have your life!" Longyue nodded matter-of-factly.

"Alright, Lao Zhu, aren't you ashamed of yourself!" Mao Hongtao was speechless. What kind of people had he met? One after another, they were all greedy for money.

“Transfer your account balance to me, and I’ll admit I’ve embarrassed myself!” Zhu Yan rolled his eyes at Mao Hongtao, indicating that he didn’t want to communicate with someone mentally challenged.

Mao Hongtao: 〣(oΔo)〣

"Get out! Don't even think about it!"

The conference room on the top floor of the office building is right next to the square. From the window, you can have a clear view of the square.

Pale sat inside, and every time he heard the names of Longyue and Li Hei listed together, he wanted to grind his teeth. This was clearly his exclusive name!

Chen Dong, the deputy head of Yundu Martial Arts School, was also among them.

There were also other people, who were also among the heads of various martial arts schools. The leaders all had their own things to do, and recruiting new members was their task.

"Pale, do you know her?" Chen Dong's serious expression completely disappeared in private, and he looked very calm.

He looked at Pale with a smile on his face. He had never seen such a vivid expression on this brat before. Pale used to be handsome and cool, but also cold. Now he seemed less unapproachable.

“I know you, my future wife!” Pale suddenly laughed, his icy demeanor melting away, all his sharpness disappearing.

As soon as Pale finished speaking, those who had been chatting or watching the two talk fell silent, their eyes widening in surprise.

Everyone: Wait, what did they just hear?

Future daughter-in-law?

Oh my!

Chen Dong was surprised. He and the pale-faced father were friends, and the two families had maintained close ties for decades. "How come I didn't know you, you brat, had a wife? How come I haven't heard anything about it?"

Everyone: Lord, didn't you forget two words? It's "future wife," not "wife." The meanings are very different...

"Uncle Chen, you're focusing on the wrong thing!" Cang Bai didn't intend to answer the question. If this person went to tell his father, his father would definitely tell his mother, and his mother would tell his grandparents and maternal grandparents. Then the whole family would know.

"What's wrong with that? Can't your Uncle Chen even care about your marriage?" Chen Dong said sternly.

"And I think that little girl doesn't even seem to be an adult yet. You brat, what you're doing is illegal!"

Chen Dong glanced at Long Yue again and found that she was actually quite young, with a very youthful face.

"Uncle Chen, what are you thinking? I will wait until she comes of age, and I hope everyone can keep this a secret." Cang Bai said this very seriously.
