What surprised Chen Yutong even more was that Qin Ning's background was terrifyingly immense.
Just downstairs, she had seen with her own eyes that even Feng Zhenyang, the top leader of the province, had to be completely respectful to Qin Ning.
What exactly had happened in the few years since graduation?
Although she had doubts in her heart, Chen Yutong tactfully did not ask.
She knew very well that if Qin Ning wanted her to know certain things, he would tell her without her having to ask.
Soon, Qin Fei and Cheng Weiyang pulled her into a discussion about company matters.
Qin Ning sat bored on the sofa on one side of the office, watching TV.
Right at this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, Qin Ning was slightly taken aback, but he didn't hesitate and answered directly, Hello, Teacher Du, is there something the matter?
The call was from Du Ya, Qin Ning's homeroom teacher from high school.
It's like this, Qin Ning...
Du Ya first offered her greetings before stating the purpose of her call.
It turned out that after receiving Qin Ning's help with the relocation issue last time, she and her husband, Li Xuejun, were allocated a new house. They had moved in a few days ago and were preparing to host a housewarming banquet, inviting Qin Ning over to celebrate with them.
Qin Ning, it would be best if you have time to come, but if you are really busy, it's totally fine.
Du Ya also knew that the current Qin Ning was no longer the same as before, and he possessed extraordinary means. So, even if Qin Ning really couldn't make it, she would find it understandable.
After all, with Qin Ning's current status and position, he definitely had a lot of endless tasks to attend to.
It's no problem, Teacher Du. I still have time. Just send me a message later with the time and location, and I will be there, Qin Ning said with a smile.
Good, good. Then your teacher will be eagerly awaiting your arrival. Du Ya's face immediately lit up with joy.
Afterward, the two chatted idly for a few more sentences. Upon hanging up, she immediately sent the location and time to Qin Ning.
Qin Ning took a look; it was for tomorrow night at seven o'clock. That was still early.
Then he contacted Su Xingwan and learned that she had also received Du Ya's invitation.
After all, Teacher Du Ya was the homeroom teacher for both Qin Ning and Su Xingwan back then.
You're asking me this—does that mean you can come back tomorrow? Are you going too? Su Xingwan asked over the phone.
Qin Ning nodded, I'll go back tomorrow, and I'll go with you then. Xiao Fei and Weiyang will stay here in Linshui City for a few more days.
Okay, see you tomorrow then, Su Xingwan replied with a smile.
Brother, was that Teacher Du?
As soon as the phone was hung up, Qin Fei asked.
Qin Ning nodded and then briefly explained the matter to them.
That's great. You go with Sister Xingwan tomorrow night. Remember to bring a good gift. Back when we were studying, Teacher Du Ya helped and took care of us a lot, Qin Fei said.
I know.
This was indeed true. Back in school, Du Ya knew about Qin Ning's situation, so she provided quite a bit of financial assistance. Occasionally, after school, she would even go to Qin Ning's house to cook a meal for the siblings.
Like Aunt Lin, Du Ya was one of the people Qin Ning was most grateful to.
Should we go out for a stroll later? We can buy some gifts for Teacher Du right here to take back. Please help take mine and Weiyang's share over as well, Qin Fei asked.
Qin Ning glanced at the sky outside the window; it was almost getting dark. He then said, Sure.
Soon, the group of four went downstairs and arrived outside the company. Cheng Weiyang drove the car over. After Qin Ning and the other two got in, the car headed towards a bustling commercial district in the city center.
This is the largest mall in Linshui City. You can buy many things here. After the car was parked in a basement garage, the group got out, and Chen Yutong spoke with a smile.
Although she was also from Xi Province, she had been in Linshui City for over a month, so she was naturally much more familiar with the place than Qin Ning and the others.
Soon, they took the elevator upstairs. Just as Chen Yutong had said, the scale of this mall was massive, with all kinds of things available.
Not only daily necessities, but there were also specialized exhibition areas for various home appliances, local specialties, and even cars.
Brother, let's buy a car for Sister Chen. She is now the general manager of the branch company here. Of course, it will be more convenient for her to have her own car when going out in the future, Qin Fei said.
Chen Yutong was flattered and surprised. This... there's no need, right? I live near the company, and commuting is quite close.
It's fine. It'll be much more convenient for you to have a car when you go shopping or whatever in the future, Cheng Weiyang said with a smile.
Soon, the group arrived at the specialized exhibition area. Displayed here were all new energy vehicles, namely electric cars.
Setting aside price and such, the domestic automotive industry today was absolutely second to none globally. Various features were far more advanced than those abroad, and the prices were also cheaper, completely maximizing the cost-performance ratio.
Soon, half-yielding to their persuasion, Chen Yutong chose a car she liked.
The price was around four hundred thousand, fully loaded with all kinds of features. It was a true top-tier configuration, even coming with an onboard drone.
However, the cars in the exhibition area were only for display and experience; they needed to go to the store tomorrow to pick up the actual car.
After Qin Fei paid the deposit, the group continued to stroll around the mall.
As they strolled, they seemed to forget their original purpose for coming, completely immersing themselves in buying various cosmetics and clothes. It was only after Qin Ning reminded them that Qin Fei and the other two came back to their senses, showing embarrassed expressions on their faces.
I almost forgot! We came to buy a gift for Teacher Du Ya. Brother, I saw a jewelry store over there just now. Let's go over and buy some jewelry for you to take back tomorrow, Qin Fei said.
Soon, the group of four headed straight for the jewelry store.
Upon entering the store, a young female saleswoman warmly greeted them, dressed in a professional suit, looking very appropriate.
After the saleswoman gave a brief introduction, Qin Fei walked up to a counter and pointed to several pieces of jewelry inside. This one, this one, and this one...
There were hundreds of items displayed in the counter, and she pointed out twelve pieces in total.
The saleswoman's face immediately bloomed with joy. If this deal went through, her commission alone would equal two months' salary.
But just as she was preparing to take out the twelve items Qin Fei pointed to from the counter for her to inspect, she heard Qin Fei say, I don't want these twelve pieces. Pack up all the rest.
As soon as these words came out, the saleswoman was dumbfounded, freezing right on the spot.
Miss, you... you mean... except for the twelve pieces you just pointed to, you want everything else... is that right?
After reacting, her voice even began to tremble as she spoke.

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
