Volume 2: Young Miracle Chapter 13: Relying on the Mountain

  The luxurious car drove away, and Li Shengli let out a long sigh. "Wei's web is indeed formidable, but after all, the background is still there, we are just small business owners, it's not necessary to offend him to death."

  "What's the background? Doesn't matter, he'll soon be nothing but a silhouette."

  "Take it easy, nothing will happen. I'm just making use of a useless thing, anyway, I'm idle too, let's see if I can get some benefits from him."

  Li Shengli could only sigh and shake his head: "What a coincidence, Wei Wang just happened to pass by from this side."

  Wen Xie smiled and didn't continue the conversation. Some things didn't need to be known by Li Shengli. It wasn't that he didn't trust him, but rather this world had always had two sides. Following their own different rules, without the courage to be fearless, the determination to move forward, and the decisive means to kill, it was very difficult to swim between black and white like a fish in water. On the contrary, one misstep could lead to death and destruction, with no chance of redemption.

  Wen Cheng did not want to drag Li Shengli into this muddy whirlpool. With his experience as a person for two lifetimes, he could only proceed cautiously in the inverted reflection of light and darkness, afraid that one day he would wake up to find that everything had been lost. Moreover, Li Shengli was just an ordinary person.

  Even for Nuan Nuan's sake, Wen Qing couldn't put Li Shengli in any possible danger.

  At noon, many students from No. 19 Middle School came over. The Xueyuan store welcomed its peak on the first day of trial operation, fortunately, it was well-prepared for the past few days and could still cope with it. In the afternoon, Wen Can saw Tan Xue handling everything in an orderly manner, so he felt relieved and said goodbye to Li Shengli before leaving.

  After taking two buses to Diyuanyuan, Xiaozheng was about to enter when he suddenly saw a charming woman lingering at the corner of the gate. Wen Jian's heart skipped a beat. He quietly walked over and patted her shoulder from behind, saying: "Teacher Ye, what are you sneaking around doing?"

  Ye Yuting jumped in fright. Turning around to see Wen Chen, she finally let out a breath of relief and said: "You scared me to death! If you cause any more trouble, I'll make sure you become the class monitor!"

  Is this Ye Mei's unique way of intimidation? Wen Jing raised an eyebrow, looking at her with disdain: "If Zhang Tianqi heard these words, I don't know how heartbroken he would be. Teacher Ye, although my excellence has dazzled you, please still take care of Zhang's self-esteem. Favoring the new and disliking the old does not conform to the behavior standards of a teacher at No. 1 Middle School."

  Ye Yuting almost went crazy. She grabbed Wen Qian's ear and said angrily: "You sly little thing, was Ji Su deceived by you like this?"

  Although I knew that the thing with Ji Su couldn't be hidden from Ye Yuting, as a qualified class teacher, not having arranged anything for the 17th or 18th was basically dereliction of duty. But Wen Chen didn't think that Ye Yuting would actually bring it up in person. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Rumors stop at wise people, Teacher Ye you are wise and powerful, how could you be confused by these groundless rumors? Believe me, I am clean and innocent with Ji Su, absolutely not as exaggerated as the rumors!"

  Ye Yuting had previously trusted Wen Qian once, and still believed in her heart that he wouldn't do anything rash. It's human nature for young men and women to have feelings for each other, as long as they know the boundaries. They can even make great progress in their studies. And Wen Qian's performance on this exam is a very good proof of that.

  Ye Yuting released her grip on his ear, and her white jade-like index finger lightly touched his forehead: "You'd better behave yourself and don't cause me any trouble." Wen Qing saw that Ye Yuting's expression had improved significantly after this little outburst, no longer looking anxious and depressed as before. He tentatively asked: "Teacher Ye, did you see Director Zuo?"

  "Ah!" Ye Yuting was suddenly somewhat surprised. Half embarrassed and half annoyed, she said: "Did she tell you everything?"

  "No, no, it's just that I saw you seeming to want to go in and thought you were also here to see Director Zuo. What's going on? Is there something I shouldn't know?"

  Ye Yuting was asked by Wen Chen, Li Gou felt a bit at a loss, turned his head and didn't dare to look into his eyes, said in a low voice: "Nothing, I just said it casually. Okay. I still have urgent things to do, you should go home early too, don't wander around outside for no reason." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Wen Chen's response, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

  "Teacher Ye, Teacher Ye"

  Wen Cheng looked at her back, lightly slapping himself in the face. This morning, he fabricated a lie to deceive her. He just wanted to see if there were any misunderstandings between them. Maybe next time they meet, they can clear things up. It's all his fault for being a bit impatient, scaring Ye Yuting away.

  Wen Cang stood at the door, lost in thought for a moment. He then put this matter behind his mind. Everyone has their own secrets, if Zuo Yu Xi didn't want him to know, he would respect her decision. Wen Cang wouldn't think that just because Zuo Yu Xi liked him, he could control everything about her, unlike the passionate love of youth where they completely possess each other. For Wen Cang and Zuo Yu Xi's state of mind, allowing each other to keep secrets was the true meaning of love.

  Zuo Xicun wore a light yellow low-necked sweater, with white tight-fitting trousers on the lower half of her body. Her hair was tied back at the nape of her neck, secured by a pale blue hairpin, and she had applied light makeup to her face, making her eyebrows and eyes look even more elegant. These past few days, due to the turbulent situation in the city, as the most reliable link between Xu Fuyan and Zuo Jing, Zuo Xicun had to maintain smooth communication at all times, communicating and providing feedback to both parties, striving for every step and every detail to be thoroughly considered, not giving her opponents any opportunity to take advantage.

  She was lying on her side on the sofa, with a small floral blanket draped over her waist. On TV, Xiao Cui's Irises pantyhose commercial was playing, featuring a beautiful woman in a blue business suit driving an open-top sports car, with a pair of long legs wrapped in thin, smooth stockings. The camera froze on this moment, and the words "Irises Pantyhose" appeared on the screen. This Xiao Cui, who was known as Taiwan's number one beauty in her time, was now in the prime of her youth, with a radiant complexion and sparkling eyes. Wen Xiang couldn't help but think of how Xiao would look in her later years - frail, dressed in youthful clothes that didn't suit her age, with wrinkles that no amount of powder could cover up. Truly, beautiful women are like great generals, not allowed to show their white hair in the mortal world.

  Wen Cang stared at the TV with an unblinking gaze. A mischievous smile flashed in Xiao Yu Xi's eyes. He hummed, drawing Wen Cang's attention, and suddenly threw his head back, revealing a soft, towering collar that made his heart skip a beat. His face wore a seemingly painful expression as he slowly raised his jade-like legs, and his right hand stroked the inside of his thigh along the knee bend. Just as he paused at a sensitive spot, a sly, curved gaze floated over, his posture seductive and charming to the bone. Wen Cang had never thought Xiao Yu Xi could make such an enchanting move. His heart suddenly surged with passion. He let out a loud cry and was about to pounce on him.

  Zuo Yu Xi's eyes widened as she was about to be tied up, and she was so scared that she sat up with a start. With her jade-like feet exposed, she hid behind the sofa and giggled: "You dare to mess around again, I'll bite you!"

  It's better not to say this, but Wen Jie was moved by her charming attitude when she spoke. He teased: "Actually, it doesn't matter, you can separate the words and read them one by one, I'm sure I'll be happy."

  Zuo Yu Xi muttered to herself in a low voice, her face flushing red. Her beautiful eyes widened and she grabbed the pillow and threw it over. Scolding: "You're going to die, saying such disgusting things, I'll punish you by making you sit on the floor later."

  Wen Cheng caught the pillow and burst out laughing, casually placing it on the tea table. He went to the refrigerator to grab a bottle of mineral water, twisting open the cap ready to drink. Zuo Yu Xi rushed over and snatched the bottle away. Wen Cheng laughed and said: "Not even allowed to drink water now?"

  Yu Xi gave him a sideways glance, pulled his hand and sat him down on the sofa, then took out a small dish of Bi Luo Chun from under the coffee table. She picked up a few leaves and infused them in hot water, saying: "I've been watching TV these past few days, and the Quality Inspection Bureau did a nationwide inspection of mineral water, saying that the quality is really bad, with only 40% passing. Doesn't that mean more than half are unqualified? They also said it's easy to get kidney stones, and in severe cases, even cancer. What kind of manufacturers are these, so black-hearted?"

  Wen Qian sighed and said, "This is good, at least Sudan Red 3 and gutter oil have been popularized." In fact, it may have been popularized by now. ????"Huh, what's that?"

  "There's no use shaking one's head, waking up from the intertwined memories of two worlds. Food safety, it can never just be a slogan, but what can be done? As long as the system is not perfect, these problems will never be solved."

  Zuo Yuxi, who was in the system, looked at these things more transparently and coldly said: "It's like this time, catching so many unqualified units, just reporting criticism. Then, limit the rectification period, and then it will be over. If I were to do business, I would also be willing to reduce costs and produce counterfeit products, after all, there is no danger."

  "Returns are not proportional to risks, everyone will take a gamble, it's also an inevitable thing Wen Jian didn't want to say more, raised the mineral water in his hand and said: "Yi Shan"

  He suddenly remembered that Xiao Yishan mineral water was once popular in Qingzhou, but it gradually disappeared with the rise of other strong brands. In his previous life, he still had the habit of a young man, liking to drink fruit-flavored soda, and since his family's decline, he didn't have money to buy mineral water, let alone eat meat, so the impression had faded, but he didn't expect to see it here at Zuo Yuxi.

  "Maybe this is a good way,"

  "This is the husband of a colleague in our department who went to Yishan County to support education. He brought it back from the county. I heard that this factory was poorly managed and was about to go bankrupt. Nowadays, state-owned enterprises are all struggling, one by one, half-dead and half-alive. It's like this in the city, let alone the counties below."

  "Survival of the fittest, natural law will not exempt you just because you are a country."

  Wen Cheng looked at it a few more times, as if to memorize the bottle of mineral water in his heart. Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying: "Good tea! Is this An Baoqiang's treat? I showed him a sunny path, but I didn't see him send me a few tons to taste."

  "How many tons? Lao Jiu heard that he was so scared that he didn't dare to see you again. By the way, how's today's matter?"

  Speaking of the matter, Wen Ze smiled slightly: "Everything is going smoothly. Wei Wang is more arrogant than I imagined. My poisonous snake skill has not been exerted to three tenths. He has already fallen into the trap and lost his rationality, haha."

  Finished a chapter and got out of the door. Still owe one more chapter, will find an opportunity to make up for it within two days, remember, Wanzi.
