Chapter 212: The Book of Life Experience

In Zone One's New City, An Qiqi's father had a day off and specially rushed home from the military.

When An's father entered, An's mother was practicing yoga in the living room, and the housekeeper had just finished preparing food and placed it on the table.

"You seem in a good mood after your meeting?! Haven't seen you practice yoga in a long time," An's father took off his coat, hung it on the rack, changed into slippers, and walked into the hall.

An's mother slowly stood up, also replying with a smile: "Not bad, my proposal passed."

"Congratulations, shall we have a drink?"

"Let's drink!" An's mother replied spiritedly.

A little while later, the couple poured red wine and sat facing each other in the dining room. The housekeeper served all the dishes and knowingly returned to her room to rest.

Setting aside the casual table talk, after the couple had both drunk some wine, An's mother suddenly remembered her brother had something to ask him, so she immediately went to the study to get a document, placing it on the table saying: "Jinrong Company has an executive with a blemish in his political file - he wants to ask for your help, see if you can work on it. This young man has a good resume and sufficient education, wants to enter the system."

"Is it time-limited?" An's father asked picking up the materials.

"No, never to be employed," An's mother shook her head. "Jinrong found many connections but none worked - this matter can't be handled in Dragon City."

Sitting in his chair, An's father roughly scanned the file and said with slightly furrowed brows: "This is very difficult! I recently heard the political department plans to set up a branch in Dragon City specifically to screen civil servants in pro-Chinese districts - even if they find someone who has made over-the-line comments, they'll kill it with one stick, directly take them back to Zone One for isolated interrogation."

"Jinrong said this matter is very important - no matter how difficult, you still need to help think of ways," An's mother replied eating vegetables.

After considering for a while, An's father put the materials aside saying: "I'll try later."

"Mm," An's mother nodded.

An's father raised his wine glass and after long thought asked: "Did you set up that fund I told you to for our daughter?"

"Already having someone handle it," An's mother replied softly. "Have your brother also clear up our external shares recently, withdraw some funds to set up a large sum for Qiqi."

"Mm," An's father nodded.

"What's wrong, you're not feeling good?" An's mother asked.

"If I go up with this military reduction, then everything will be fine to talk about, but if I don't go up... there might be some trouble," An's father said very calmly. "Politics - ups and downs are normal, we just need to prepare early."

"Mm," An's mother nodded.

An's father casually pointed at the materials: "I'll ask around tomorrow, see exactly how this kid's blemish came about."

"Alright, I'll reply to Jinrong tomorrow," An's mother responded.

......

In Huadu's Chinese Street, inside Red Dragon Entertainment City.

Cui Bin was embracing two young girls and singing freely, while Big Bai, Daxiong, Su Tianbei, and several North Hall brothers were playing games and drinking.

On the sofa beside them, Zhou Tonghui looked at Su Tianyu with restraint saying: "My father said that this time going to Dragon City, let me learn and communicate more with you - I'll trouble you to take care of me in the future."

"Tonghui, we've already shared the friendship of carrying guns together - let's not do these empty things," Su Tianyu hiccupped. "Say too many polite words and it starts to seem fake. For this association part, if we people do well together, discuss things when they come up, each contribute our strength - only when we really do well can we live up to the investors, live up to the bosses above who set this up."

"Right," Zhou Tonghui immediately raised his glass. "Come, I toast you!"

"Can you still drink?"

"Though humble me cannot handle much alcohol, today I'll definitely risk my life to accompany the gentleman!"

"Will you die if you don't use classical Chinese?" Su Tianyu replied helplessly.

"Hehe, come!" Zhou Tonghui smiled and clinked glasses with Su Tianyu before drinking it all.

As they drank more and more, after finishing serious business, this group of young people in the private room also completely got hyped up. Bai Hongbo came over with a red face and put his arm around Zhou Tonghui's neck saying: "Brother, have you tried mixed fighting?"

"What's mixed fighting?"

"It's when many people, together hehe, you understand?" Big Bai replied directly.

"Vulgar!" Zhou Tonghui's face really turned red as he immediately waved his hand replying: "This... this won't do, I can't accept it, too dirty."

"No, do you still want to open the prologue of life's experience book?" Bai Hongbo replied with furrowed brows. "Such a big man, why are you still pretending?!"

"I must remind you, my family education doesn't allow me to do such things," Zhou Tonghui refused again. "I can... fight one-on-one, but absolutely won't do any mixed fighting!"

"Fuck, then let's drink first, talk later," Big Bai stood up calling to the girls: "Tonight whoever gets him the most drunk, tips triple!"

Around 2 AM.

The drunk Big Bai and Su Tianyu supported Zhou Tonghui out of the private room bathroom - the latter's head was drooping, clearly almost unconscious.

"Should we go back?" Big Bai asked.

"Go back??!" Zhou Tonghui slowly raised his head and after a hiccup shouted: "I want mixed fighting! I want to fight ten!!"

"Calm down!"

"Find... find that manager, tell him I want to fight ten!" Zhou Tonghui shouted excitedly. "I want to read the book of life experience, I fucking want to do graduate studies!!"

Su Tianyu looked at Big Bai with furrowed brows: "Such a good lawyer, and you've managed to ruin him."

"Fuck!" Big Bai was also very aggrieved: "He's just this kind of person, haven't you noticed? When I first started out, I didn't dare say I wanted to fight ten."

......

Around 2 AM, Cui Bin, Tianbei, Big Bai, Zhou Tonghui and the group stayed at the entertainment city without leaving, all going upstairs instead.

Su Tianyu craftily didn't mess around with everyone, but took An Qiqi's gift and caught a car back to the Yu family residence.

Tonight was a good opportunity! No one was home except An Qiqi and Wawa!

Su Tianyu stopped at a supermarket on the way, and with some liquid courage, bought a box of "next generation protection" and excitedly returned to the Yu family apartment.

Military service, transfer to civilian work, return to Dragon City - several years had passed in a flash, and Su Tianyu had never dated, nor had he randomly struck like Big Bai, so he was also pent up!

Late at night, Su Tianyu returned to the Yu family home and tiptoed with the gift box to the second floor, seeing the living room lights were off, pitch black.

"Knock knock knock!"

Su Tianyu knocked on An Qiqi's door, his heart pounding.

After a little while, the door slowly opened and An Qiqi in her pajamas asked with sleepy eyes: "What are you doing?"

"Don't speak," Su Tianyu stepped forward, reeking of alcohol as he looked at An Qiqi: "...listen to me."

"Are you sick?! Say what?"

"I like you!" Su Tianyu replied softly.

"...!" An Qiqi instantly became alert: "Did... did you take the wrong medicine?!"
