Chapter 8 1 Everything is in the plan
Chapter 8 1 Everything is in the plan
The farce ended with the Cheng family father and son collapsing in defeat.
After the admission quota was announced, the many candidates in front of the school gate dispersed.
However, judging from the almost overflowing excitement on the faces of these unsuccessful candidates, what happened in front of Xingcheng University today will probably become a topic of conversation and spread in a short time!
Make a wish!
Bevy waved from afar with a smile.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan still led Lao Xu and Xu Meng over.
The other staff members wisely returned to the bus.
Two dark-skinned young men with buzz cuts stood not far away, staring in that direction.
Old Xu could tell at a glance that these two were definitely protecting Bei Wei.
Hmm... that familiar taste!
Plainclothes officers in the military?
What is Bevy's background that she needs this level of security?
Logically speaking, this level of security force should at least be at the city level or above...
Actually, Lao Xu was overthinking it. Although Bei Wei had a powerful family background, she herself did not hold any public office.
These plainclothes officers were only temporarily assigned to protect her because of the technology she submitted last night.
"Bevy, thank you."
Xu Yuan walked up to Bei Wei and spoke in a deep voice.
His thanks weren't because Beiwei had announced his acceptance.
It was for Lao Xu.
In any case, Beiwei has now cleared Old Xu's name of his most sensitive past offenses.
As for Cheng Yong? He's a clown, best left unmentioned!
"Hey! What are you saying? Aren't we friends?"
Bevy was no longer the mature and calm woman she had been when she spoke in front of the crowd.
Her gaze toward Xu Yuan held a mixture of surprise and joy.
Oops!
Was it because I didn't sleep all night? Or was it because I was paying too much attention to him?
How come Xu Yuan looks much more handsome than yesterday after only one night?
No, it should be more flavorful?
Or rather... it's charm!
However, she is not a lovesick girl, but a reborn person with lofty ambitions to save the world.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Beiwei took out her phone from her pocket.
"How about we add each other on WeChat?"
"I never add strangers on WeChat."
Xu Yuan remains vigilant.
He and Bevy had no relationship whatsoever; in fact, he had just reported her yesterday.
"I haven't given you today's 'friends' fee' yet. I can't possibly give you cash every day, can I?"
Bevy spread her hands, her face full of innocence.
The two young men with buzz cuts standing to the side did not react at all.
The higher authorities repeatedly instructed them to only be responsible for protecting the safety of Beiwei and her family, and not to interfere in anything else.
As for making a wish, since it's supposed to be about giving money...
"But you're not a stranger, aren't we friends?"
A smile appeared on Xu Yuan's face.
Although he is now going further and further down the path of becoming a superhero, even a superhero needs to eat and live. Moreover, if his sister wants to attend a private high school, the tuition fees are practically a bottomless pit for an ordinary family.
After both parties have added each other's contact information and the transfer is completed.
Enough with the small talk, let's get down to business.
"What exactly does my job entail?"
Because the number of places Xu Yuan was admitted to was a temporary expansion, it was not mentioned in the previous recruitment announcement.
Even if Beiwei just mentioned enjoying the treatment of a director-level employee, the prerequisite is that you have to be capable yourself.
"Your job is to go undercover and report any injustices you discover."
Make a wish: ...
"Is it what I understand it to mean?"
"That's right, it means exactly what you think."
Old Xu, standing to the side: ...
Xu Meng, on the other hand, completely failed to understand the unspoken understanding between the adults. With a blank expression, she asked directly.
"What are you talking about?"
Beiwei looked at Xu Meng, squatted down, and gently patted Xu Meng's head.
"Little sister, you must be Xu Meng, the younger sister of Xu Yuan? My name is Bei Wei, you can just call me sister. Your brother's job can be understood as that of an imperial envoy traveling incognito..."
Bei Wei showed great affability towards Xu Meng, and after just a few words, Xu Meng sweetly called her "sister".
Old Xu nudged Xu Yuan with his elbow from the side.
"Xiaoyuan, if she really wants it, why don't you just give it to her? Look, they're giving her money and a job, and the job even comes with real power..."
Xu Yuan glanced at Old Xu beside her expressionlessly.
"Old Xu, didn't you say this morning that there's no reason for children to ask their father to go out and sell himself?"
"That makes sense, but then again, it's me who's telling you to go out and sell yourself, not the other way around."
Make a wish: ...
Although his words were rough but the reasoning was sound, Old Xu's words were just too rough.
However, Xu Yuan also understands in his heart that there is no love without a reason in the world.
What Bevy is doing now is undoubtedly for her own benefit.
The only thing he could think of was the end of the world that Bei Wei had mentioned yesterday.
"Bevy." Once Bevy stood up, Xu Yuan spoke first, "What did you mean by the end of the world you mentioned yesterday?"
But Bevy simply shook her head.
"Yesterday? Yesterday was just a joke."
"Really? I don't believe it."
"Really, I just want to be friends with you."
Bevy's eyes were full of sincerity.
Just as the two were talking, Beiwei's phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.
Beiwei glanced down at the message on her phone, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
Finally, the verification is complete!
"I have some things to take care of, let's keep in touch via WeChat later."
Before Beiwei got into the car, she turned around and shouted to Lao Xu.
"Uncle Xu, I'm a bit pressed for time today, I'll come to see you at home later!"
Amidst the roar of the engines, Xu Yuan watched the departing convoy in silence.
Bevy said she just wanted to be friends with herself?
Is this the treatment you'd expect from a regular friend?
To put it bluntly, it's even better than being kept by a sugar daddy!
But now that Bevy isn't saying anything, he doesn't intend to pursue the matter further.
However, he has already kept this favor in his heart, and if Beiwei is in trouble in the future, he will definitely help her within his ability!
Power! Only power!
"Let's go home, today deserves a celebration!"
Old Xu walked over and patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder.
Xu Meng muttered softly, seemingly unintentionally, but her voice reached Xu Yuan's ears.
"I think Sister Beiwei is pretty good. My brother can definitely avoid taking decades of detours."
Xu Yuan chuckled to himself.
"Xiao Meng! I just saw Bei Wei secretly slip you a red envelope!"
"Hey, Xiaomeng! You're just selling it to your brother like this? You should at least raise the price!"
"..."
The family of three laughed and joked as they set off on their journey home.
……
Bevy sat in the car, her gaze fixed on the blood-red percentage numbers in the sky through the window.
80%
Everything is moving in a better direction!
The job position that Xu Yuan was just assigned was actually something she had planned long ago.
Once you identify the problem, just solve it!
In his previous life, wasn't Xu Yuan forced to resort to violence to resolve the oppression of injustice, thus being driven to rebellion?
This time, we must make him feel the warmth of humanity and avoid the tragedy that befell all of humanity in the previous life!
As for why she remained silent when asked about the end of the world, Xu Yuan did not answer.
One reason is that people always prefer goodwill that has no ulterior motive.
Human relationships eventually run out, but bonds of affection never do.
On the other hand, it's true that... there's no other way.
The alien fleet in my previous life appeared out of thin air, its origin and destination unknown, and it was impossible to stop.
Even if you tell Xu Yuan the truth now, there's nothing he can do.
You can't expect to wish for your physical body to fly out of the universe and then search everywhere in the infinite universe, can you?
In her memory, the power of a wish wasn't that great.
Fortunately, my method worked, delaying the doomsday countdown by three percentage points!
In addition, the technology I submitted in advance has just been fully theoretically verified!
The next step is to implement those technologies as soon as possible, and at the same time postpone the end of the world as much as possible, to buy humanity enough time!
……
On the other side...
In the dark space of my dream.
"Why are you being so pathetic? If you can't beat them, just stand up and take the beating!"
"Exactly, I think you represent idiocy, not wisdom! You hit me twice more!"
"That's right, he's practically drained me dry!"
A middle-aged strong man, a fat man with a big belly, and a beautiful mature woman all surrounded the skinny old man and berated him.
The only thing they had in common was that all four of them had bruises on their faces.
"A muscle-bound brute, a fat pig with a tumor in his head." The gaunt old man looked at the two with disdain. "What do you know? Everything changes, the only constant is change! Adaptability is hope!"
"Don't argue, everything is going according to plan!"
