However, every coin has two sides. Ah Jun would never compromise his principles. After all, bitter medicine is the best remedy for illness—— While Grandpa Advisor was leading the children on a tour ahead, Ah Jun and the kitten kept praising and admiring their surroundings. The Holy Maiden, however, walked slowly behind. To her, nothing here could spark such interest. She quietly observed the path ahead, strolling with graceful elegance.
As for Xiao Xi, he was using the excuse of having nothing else to do to keep his slicked-back hair in place, staying by the girls side and cracking jokes. Of course, his real intention was not what it seemed——However, the Holy Maiden no longer minded the boys usual tactics much, appearing more composed as she listened, her mind focused on her own thoughts.
After getting along with everyone for a while, she gradually became comfortable, perhaps because of the familiarity, after all, they are children of the same age.
In a moment, the group arrived at Tongfu Canteen, where they had dined yesterday. The president and his entourage were already waiting at the entrance. A sharp-eyed aide rushed forward to greet them, and the children quickly followed.
The chairman finally broke into a rare, genuine smile as he turned to face Ah Jun, his expression sincere and heartfelt. Meanwhile, the aide nearby was about to report on current affairs when the chairman tactfully declined the suggestion, subtly gesturing toward the childrens group. This subtle refusal revealed his lingering hesitation in trusting others.
However, the advisors motives were not formed arbitrarily. After all, none of these individuals harbored any issues—— As for Ah Jun and Xiao Mao, they need no explanation. Xiao Xi, being a descendant of the ancient Duanmu clan, naturally had no cause for concern given his master being the chieftain of Qilin Commandery. The advisor learned of Ning ers identity during last nights conversation—she was revealed to be the Holy Maiden of the Nangong clan, which meant she didnt even qualify to voice concerns.
Then, there he was—calmly leaning against the leaders ear and chattering away. The usually meticulous chairmans expression gradually softened, his face glowing with pride. Without delay, he bowed respectfully to the Holy Maiden, for before the clan leader, who held status equal to the city lord, such formalities were strictly required.
Of course, the advisor didnt pay any attention to these things and continued grinning foolishly at the children. He was immediately called out by the chairman for a lesson——In the chairmans eyes, Ah Jun and the others were still just kids, like his own children. So he didnt think too much about the rules, and in fact, he didnt particularly enjoy such things; they were troublesome.
During the meal, once the atmosphere had relaxed and everyone was at ease, the chairman began to speak with ease. Unlike Xiao Xi, he demonstrated rigorous logic, clear organization, and exceptional composure. He not only shared his brotherly bond with Yi but also highly praised the arrival and capabilities of the advisor...
The dean was a good speaker, but because of his busy work, he seldom had the chance to vent his backlog of feelings, so this time he said a lot, just like a teacher in class.
The saintly woman sat with dignified grace, listening patiently to stories from her senior colleagues–what she considered proper etiquette. Yet Xiao Xi and Xiao Jiwoo seemed to be feasting their eyes——They marveled at the chefs genius, skillfully blending seemingly unrelated ingredients into a delectable dish. The culinary artistry was so remarkable, it made Xiao Xis father look like a child compared to the master chefs genius.
As for Ah Jun, he should have been interested in the topic, but as he listened, his head started feeling heavy. The old problem resurfaced——Since childhood, due to physical reasons, he couldnt tolerate being nagged at. Over time, this made him feel uneasy in his heart, and after holding it in for too long, he would feel uncomfortable, dizzy, and sleepy. For example, during school classes, so Ah Jun mostly preferred to study on his own.
The advisor had watched the child grow up and knew his situation well—— I remember one time when Xiao Ajun first started school. During the teachers lecture in class, he would often doze off halfway through. The teacher, puzzled by this, would several times angrily toss a chalk to try to wake him up.
"Mr.Ah Juns homeroom teacher is a tough guy," said the boy sitting next to him, "and the chalk always hits him hard. He must be from that desk where Orange Junior sits." The troublemaker kept hitting the wrong spot—whether due to his poor aim or bad judgment—making the chalk keep veering toward Orange Juniors desk.
Young Orange had narrowly escaped injury several times, but he was protected by his loyal classmate. After some time, the homeroom teacher finally lost his patience. Amidst the students cheers, he dragged Xiao Ajun to the corridor, slammed him into a wall, and delivered a scolding lecture.
Even if your grades are first, but your attitude towards learning is really... The child is helpless, he tries to explain, but the head teacher at that time did not know his students well, did not listen directly called the parents.
That day, with the family busy, the advisor impersonated the childs godfather to help, but was initially mistaken by the homeroom teacher for the childs uncle——After patiently explaining the situation, the teacher finally understood. This incident gradually turned the teacher into a kind-hearted guardian, helping explain the childs unusual behavior to other teachers while monitoring his school conduct. Of course, chalk was still indispensable—this was the teachers specialty. With a bad influence in the class, other children needed guidance, but none were as fortunate as Xiao Jun. All were precisely targeted with disciplinary measures.
The advisor pondered for a moment, his eyes fixed on Ah Juns visibly strained state. Anticipating another leadership——, he mustered the courage to whisper the latest developments into the presidents ear under the guise of work. This move perfectly aligned with the leaders expectations. The president immediately paused his output upon hearing the report, listening intently as the advisor explained how Yao had successfully captured the outsider.
However, Xiao Xi, who had been enjoying his meal nearby, voiced his discontent upon hearing the news. Fortunately, Ah Jun, who had gradually regained his composure, immediately covered his mouth in alarm after hearing his third brothers outrageous remarks. Meanwhile, the Holy Maiden and Xiao Mao also stepped in to offer their advice.
This time, however, the elders on the other side smiled knowingly. They approved of Ah Juns alertness, but the children need not be too nervous——Ah Jun was curious, could this place be a secret base?
Then the officer smiled and signaled around with his eyes. The children looked around, and there were two suspicious men on the other side... They didnt look right, and they must have been the spies from the Bureau of Investigation that the officer had mentioned.
One of them was the cafeteria auntie who had just served everyone their meals. She was now busily polishing her gleaming ladle—so shiny it could probably double as a mirror, yet she kept at it. Her ears were perched intently, though they seemed to be struggling to catch the commotion around her.
Then, the bodyguard next to the president gave a look over there, and the blue light revealed was precisely focused on the big spoon, which attracted attention.
At this moment, the old aunt in the canteen immediately gave up the investigation, and in a blink blew her whistle and played with the spoon... Who says this spoon cant be used? Hey, he Xiang Zhuang dances with a sword, my aunt plays with a spoon.
In addition, there was a male diner who had eaten his way through the plate and was still eating earnestly. At first he ate one bite at a time, but now he ate one grain at a time. When the seats around him were empty, he still left ink stains on them.
——Yes, but who knows that every grain of food in the middle of the meal is hard work!
As everyone was observing the man with appreciative eyes, a mother and daughter suddenly appeared before the diners, starting to discuss their meal. The little girl gave the man a curious glance and smiled at his eating posture with innocent delight. This made the scout visibly displeased, who immediately shot a glare at the child.
In this way, the child was frightened and cried. At this time, as a mother, how could she sit idly by and watch her child being bullied? The childs mother raised her sleeves and prepared to argue with the bad man and ask him to apologize.
However, how could a spy of the imperial family yield? It was impossible for a member of the royal family to act with justice and apologize. The man, in his anxiety, glared at them again and tried to scare them away.
At this urgent moment, in order to uphold justice and demonstrate the ability of the detectives, the bodyguard beside the mayor once again stepped in. He gently poked his finger, and the customer fell face down into the rice bowl in an instant, causing the little girl to laugh.
A俊, who was standing there in shock, could barely see that the bodyguard could turn gas into a bullet and hit the back of the male detectives head with a twist of his mouth, as if to put the customers head on the table like an apology.
—— Apologizing... thats impossible!
At this moment, the scouts face was full of oil stains and bitterness, but he seemed to have been forced to get used to it. He did not immediately look for the source of the attack on him, but just glared at the little girl, his mouth was dirty, and then picked up the plate and wanted to leave.
As the diner was walking past the mother and daughter, the girls mother couldnt contain her anger and rushed over to confront him. But the male detective wasnt someone to be trifled with. Proud and arrogant, he immediately began preparing to handle the situation single-handedly.
Because of her anxiety in protecting her child, the mother was somewhat at a loss. But suddenly, seeing that familiar scene again, the arrogant mans legs gave out, and he immediately knelt down, performing a deep bow to the mother and daughter——This is rather... sigh, acknowledging and correcting ones mistake, enough!
It turned out that the adult presidents bodyguard had pulled this off again—— With just a few flicks of his fingers, the entire situation took an unexpected turn... The little girl was still a bit confused by such behavior, but her mother, moved by the other partys sincerity, softened her heart and continued happily taking the child to get food.
As for the customer who refused to apologize with his mouth but was more active in action, he finally felt that something was wrong and left without a word, with a face full of shame.
