Option one: Pat his chest and say, "Since it's Xiaoyu's business, it's my Chen Shu's business!" Completion reward: A small amount of beast-taming power.
Option two: Refuse directly, indicating that he has no time. Completion reward: Element Beast Wind Blade +1.
Option three: Agree, and subtly indicate that he needs some compensation! Completion reward: Unlock new illustration: Thick Earth Potion.
Chen Shu's eyes darted around, lingering on the second and third options for a moment.
After a while, Chen Shu rubbed his hands and said,
"Uncle Xu, helping a classmate is something I would never shy away from!
He sighed, "But I'm busy right now. So many companies in Nanjiang City are looking for me to endorse them, my schedule is really packed!"
???
Everyone's eyes converged, looking at him in unison.
According to the usual procedures, this summer vacation would be filled with advertisements about the college entrance examination top scorer.
But Nanjiang City was completely different this year; there wasn't a single photo of Chen Shu.
You didn't even receive one advertisement, yet you're claiming your schedule is full?!
How dare you say that!
If I were to actually schedule something for one day, the liquidated damages would be...
Chen Shu sighed, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
Xu Feng remained calm and stated his price directly: As long as student Chen Shu is willing to attend, it's one million!
"I, Chen Shu, have no other strengths, only loyalty!"
Chen Shu immediately stood up and shook Xu Feng's hand, saying, "Uncle Xu's business is my business!"
Watching Chen Shu's seamless change of demeanor, everyone was bewildered.
"I feel a connection with Uncle Xu!"
Chen Shu said, "Why wait for another day? Why don't we become sworn brothers?"
"Are you trying to get yourself killed!"
Xu Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, her eyes showing a hint of panic. She directly stopped Chen Shu.
Wouldn't that mean she would have to call Chen Shu "Uncle" from now on?
"Let's eat, let's eat."
Xu Feng also found it utterly absurd and directly changed the subject.
Amidst the awkward atmosphere, everyone finished their meal.
Chen Shu was full and satisfied, while the others felt utterly confused, finding it hard to keep up with his train of thought.
"This Sunday, then I'll have to trouble student Chen Shu!"
"Uncle Xu, don't worry!"
Chen Shu waved his hand and left Xu Xiaoyu's house.
"Finally, he's gone."
Xu Feng and the others couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"If Chen Shu stayed any longer, the whole family might have lost their minds."
Chen Shu returned home and began to enjoy his summer vacation.
Every day, he ate and played with Zhang Dali. The news of his return had spread throughout Nanjiang City.
The people of Nanjiang prayed daily: "May the fierce bandit start school soon!"
The weekend arrived quickly.
Chen Shu tidied himself up, put on a suit, and wore sunglasses before heading out of the neighborhood.
"Little Chen!"
Xu Feng was already waiting in his car. He called out as soon as he saw Chen Shu emerge.
Chen Shu got into the car. Besides Xu Feng, Zhou Shi and Xu Xiaoyu were also in the car.
"Uncle Xu, let's go."
The group left the neighborhood and headed east towards Nanjiang City.
Xu Xiaoyu asked, "Why are you wearing sunglasses?"
Chen Shu cleared his throat and said, "Don't you think it looks imposing? It immediately shows professionalism!"
"Show-off," Xu Xiaoyu muttered.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the entrance of 666 Potion Company.
"Director Liu!"
Xu Feng parked the car and happened to see a stout middle-aged man in a suit arriving at the company.
The胖子 extended his hand and smiled kindly, "Director Xu!"
"And who is this?"
Liu Ming immediately noticed Chen Shu's ostentatious appearance.
"A student, Chen Shu!"
Chen Shu extended his hand and shook the other person's hand calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled as if seized by a fit.
Whoosh!
Dozens of papers flew out from under his suit.
For a moment, everyone was a bit stunned. What bizarre action was this now?
Chen Shu said calmly, "Sorry, sorry, my college entrance examination transcripts fell."
Everyone stared intently at Chen Shu, instinctively wanting to distance themselves.
Losing one paper by accident was one thing, but losing dozens at once? That was too ridiculous!
"Heh heh."
Liu Ming gave a dry laugh, picked up the papers from the ground, and immediately saw his results.
"Another genius from Huaxia University? He's from another province and naturally hasn't heard of Chen Shu's name, but that doesn't stop respect from appearing in his eyes."
The identity of a small pharmaceutical company boss was far inferior to a genius from Huaxia University.
"Thank you, Director Liu!"
Chen Shu calmly collected his college entrance examination transcripts.
Xu Feng invited him into the company's conference room, and the two companies waited.
Liu Ming's eyes showed a hint of displeasure, and he asked, "Has Duobao Potion Company not arrived yet?"
Just then, a group of people entered the conference room.
"My apologies for keeping Director Liu waiting, we were delayed on the road."
The person in the lead wore gold-rimmed glasses and carried a bag of gifts.
"A little specialty from my hometown, it's the least I can do! I hope Director Liu will accept it."
Liu Ming nodded, his displeasure fading.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's gaze fell upon a tall, thin young man opposite him.
His appearance was gentle, and he seemed quite refined.
"Huaxia University, Wang Jue!"
The tall, thin young man extended his right hand and saw Chen Shu, who was wearing sunglasses.
"Ahem!"
Chen Shu saw that everyone had arrived and calmly stood up, saying,
"Nanjiang City's top scorer, Huaxia University's genius, the pride of Nanjiang Second High School, Professor Liu Feng's final disciple, Professor Ye Qing's sole inheritor..."
"???"
"???"
Everyone in the conference room was a bit stunned. What on earth was this?!
Had self-introductions become this long now?
Wang Jue was also a bit bewildered, his hand frozen in mid-air, looking rather awkward.
"It is I, Chen Shu!"
Finally, after a series of titles, Chen Shu uttered his real name.
"Cough cough."
Xu Feng coughed and said, "Since everyone is here, let's begin."
Liu Ming stated, "Our company is highly sought after. Besides your two companies, we have been in contact with other pharmaceutical companies.
However, given the good relationship between our two companies and their strong capabilities, we have decided to select one of you for this year's cooperation.
Director Xu, please start by describing your company's situation!"
Xu Feng cleared his throat and calmly began, "Our 666 Potion Company was founded..."
The two companies successively explained their respective advantages, and their quotes were identical.
"Student Chen, Student Wang, you are both geniuses from Huaxia University. Do you have anything you would like to say?"
Liu Ming summarized the characteristics of both companies and turned his gaze to Chen Shu and Wang Jue.
"I, Chen Shu, guarantee with my integrity. You can trust Uncle Xu's company!"
Chen Shu directly stood up and stated confidently.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and their eyes all turned towards him.
Xu Feng was also a little shocked, not expecting Chen Shu to be so righteous as to vouch for them with his integrity.
Xu Xiaoyu silently lowered her head. This was only possible if Chen Pi had integrity in the first place.
For the Nanjiang Fierce Bandit, this was essentially an empty promise!
