The whole family's eyes were fixed on the potion.
Jiang Weidong was suddenly speechless.
He recognized that potion.
And he was also very sure that Jiang Xiaocha couldn't be lying about this.
So, Fang Xin hadn't used the potion at all, and had given it to Jiang Xiaocha.
Aunt Fang Huilan grabbed the syringe.
She quickly turned around, clutching Fang Xin's arm tightly with both hands, then lightly patted his arm, her eyes red.
"Why, child! Are you trying to kill me with worry! This is yours, why give it to your sister!"
As she spoke, Fang Huilan's lips trembled, and two streams of clear tears flowed down her face.
"Aunt, it's okay, I can do without the potion."
Fang Huilan wiped away a tear, "Aunt is sorry, Aunt is so sorry!"
Jiang Xiaoyu chewed her gum, "Mom, why are you crying? You're ruining my good mood. Even if Fang Xin used that potion, he wouldn't necessarily be stronger than my sister, right? What's more, your big nephew willingly gave the potion to Jiang Xiaocha, no one forced him!"
"Jiang Xiaoyu, have some conscience, okay?" Jiang Xiaocha snapped angrily.
Jiang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, "He already said it himself, he can do without the potion, so why are you worrying about him? Besides, he eats our food and uses our things, shouldn't he be the one with a conscience!"
Slap!
Jiang Xiaocha delivered a crisp, resounding slap across Jiang Xiaoyu's face.
The slap was clean and swift.
Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned by the hit.
A few seconds later, Jiang Xiaoyu burst into tears, "Dad, control her! She's siding with an outsider!"
Jiang Weidong hugged Jiang Xiaoyu and rubbed her cheek, "Xiao Cha, what are you doing? How could you hit Xiaoyu for an outsider! This is your own sister!"
Jiang Xiaocha stared coldly at Jiang Weidong, "Outsider? Our family is the outsider! Don't forget, it was my brother who took us in! Now, please, immediately, right now, apologize for your behavior just now! Apologize to my brother!"
"Xiao Cha, I'm your dad!"
Jiang Xiaocha repeated coldly, "Apologize! If you don't apologize, I'll give up joining any organization!"
Jiang Weidong immediately panicked, "Xiao Cha! You!"
Jiang Xiaocha's gaze was cold and clear.
Now that Jiang Xiaocha's results were out, she would definitely be the pillar of the family in the future. Moreover, Jiang Weidong himself knew he was in the wrong.
He glanced at Fang Xin, "I'm sorry, Fang Xin, what I said was indeed too much! I apologize to you. You should also persuade Xiao Cha not to give up joining a big organization!"
Fang Xin lightly flicked Jiang Xiaocha's fair forehead. This sister wasn't loved in vain; she was much better than a white-eyed wolf like Jiang Xiaoyu.
"I'm hungry, Xiao Cha."
"Oh, okay, I'll go get you some rice."
Jiang Xiaocha walked towards the kitchen.
Fang Huilan looked at Fang Xin with red eyes and a face full of apology, "Xiao Xin..."
"Aunt, I'm hungry, let's eat."
Fang Huilan squeezed Fang Xin's arm, "Okay! Aunt will cook two more dishes and then we'll eat!"
Jiang Xiaoyu nestled in Jiang Weidong's arms, still feeling very wronged, "Dad! It hurts!"
Jiang Weidong patted Jiang Xiaoyu's back, rubbed his daughter's cheek, and glared fiercely at Fang Xin, believing Fang Xin was the real culprit.
He snorted, then pulled his daughter away to find an ice pack.
He whispered to Jiang Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, your sister and we are family after all. This whole thing is Fang Xin's fault. This slap is on him. I've never heard of any child getting good results without using a potion. He clearly wants to wait for the next test, and then he'll still need me to pull strings to buy him a potion. Just you wait, Dad will definitely get you back for this slap!"
Jiang Xiaoyu glared fiercely at Fang Xin, "Okay, Dad!"
A knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Aunt ran to open the door.
Standing at the door was a jovial-looking Fat Man, carrying a large pile of gifts.
"This is Jiang Xiaocha's house, right? You must be Jiang Xiaocha's mother, right? We are from the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce! We've come specially to discuss Jiang Xiaocha joining us!"
Regardless of whether Fang Huilan invited him in or not, the Fat Man freed one hand to shake Fang Huilan's hand, then squeezed in directly with his assistants.
Fang Huilan was bewildered.
But she quickly reacted and shouted towards the kitchen, "Xiao Cha, someone's looking for you!"
Jiang Xiaocha walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands.
"Student Jiang Xiaocha! Hello, hello! I'm Tong Fengwu from the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce."
The Fat Man smiled and went up to shake Jiang Xiaocha's hand.
"Who are you?" Jiang Weidong also quickly came over.
The quick-witted Fat Man immediately bent over and scurried over, "You must be Jiang Xiaocha's father, right? I'm Tong Fengwu from the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce. You know the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce, right? The largest chamber of commerce in our entire district!"
Jiang Weidong immediately nodded, his eyes sparkling, "Hello, hello! Please sit, please sit! You're here for our Xiao Cha, aren't you?"
"Student Xiao Cha's excellent results have prompted our Tiannan Chamber of Commerce to specially send me, the Lan City representative, to invite Student Xiao Cha to join us. As long as Student Xiao Cha joins us, we will provide a large flat in the most expensive Baohu Garden in Lan City, and also a luxury car for pick-up and drop-off. For the first year of joining the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce, the annual salary will be 800,000, doubling in the second year! After three years, Student Xiao Cha will be allocated shares and dividends based on her contributions to the Chamber of Commerce."
Tong Fengwu, the Fat Man, rattled off a long list of benefits in one breath.
Jiang Weidong's eyes lit up, and he swallowed several times.
Jiang Weidong turned to look at Jiang Xiaocha; as the saying goes, when one person rises, their family benefits. If Jiang Xiaocha took off, he, as her father, certainly wouldn't be left behind.
"Student Xiao Cha, what do you think?" Tong Fengwu asked again.
Before Jiang Xiaocha could speak, another knock on the door came.
Fang Huilan opened the door. Standing at the door was a woman in a professional suit, wearing glasses, followed by two assistants carrying gifts.
The woman extended her hand to shake, "You must be Student Xiao Cha's mother, right? Hello, I am Li Yinqiao, the provincial capital Li family's representative in Lan City. We are here for Student Jiang Xiaocha!"
"Welcome, welcome!" Fang Huilan looked eagerly at the other party; the other party had a strong aura, clearly a strong woman. She stepped aside to let her in.
Li Yinqiao walked in on high heels, glancing at the Fat Man Tong Fengwu. Tong Fengwu returned a harmless smile, but only received a cold snort.
"You must be Jiang Xiaocha's father!" Li Yinqiao extended her hand to Jiang Weidong.
Jiang Weidong licked his lips, feeling a little lightheaded at the moment. Someone was here to snatch his daughter!
After so many years of being downtrodden, he could finally hold his head high.
He had just seen the neighbors discussing their family.
"Hello!" Jiang Weidong quickly extended his hand.
Li Yinqiao turned to Jiang Xiaocha and smiled, "Hello, Student Jiang Xiaocha, I am Li Yinqiao from the provincial capital Li family. It's a pleasure to meet you! I imagine our friend from the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce has already made you an offer. To show our sincerity, whatever they offer, we will double it!"
Tong Fengwu's narrowed eyes widened a bit, "I say, Director Li, isn't that a bit unfair?"
Li Yinqiao smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I believe Student Jiang Xiaocha is worth it!"
Seeing the two families competing, Jiang Weidong felt like he was about to climax.
This was too exhilarating.
"Everyone, please sit down and talk!" Jiang Weidong tried to mediate.
Unexpectedly, another knock on the door came. Fang Huilan opened the door.
This time, the people at the door were more formal.
They were dressed in uniforms, and their gifts were simple, not as flashy as the previous two families.
Leading them was a stern-looking man with a square face, "Hello, Sky Shield Bureau, Fourth Division, Second Special Operations Team Captain, Chu Gang, here for Student Jiang Xiaocha!"
Fang Huilan quickly opened the door, "Please come in!"
Chu Gang stepped inside.
His gaze swept over Tong Fengwu and Li Yinqiao.
Both of them smiled, "Captain Chu is here too?"
"Yes! Student Jiang Xiaocha, have you made your choice yet?"
"Not yet!"
"Oh, good. The Fourth Division also wants to invite you to join! You can choose now!"
Jiang Weidong's voice cracked with excitement, feeling like this was the highlight of his life.
"Captain Chu, is it? Please sit, please sit!"
Chu Gang sat down.
"You all, please sit!"
Tong Fengwu and Li Yinqiao sat down one after another.
Li Yinqiao was the first to speak, "No matter how much we compete, the final decision rests with Student Jiang Xiaocha. It's up to Student Jiang Xiaocha to choose!"
Jiang Xiaocha hadn't quite processed it either. She had only heard that those with high talent would be sought after by various forces, but she hadn't expected the competition to be this intense.
After a slight hesitation, she said, "I'll listen to my brother!"
Fang Xin was stunned for a few seconds.
He clearly hadn't expected Jiang Xiaocha to say that.
The three parties all looked at Fang Xin.
Li Yinqiao smiled.
"You are Jiang Xiaocha's brother? Which family do you want your sister to join?"
Jiang Weidong immediately interrupted, "Why listen to him? I'm her dad, I make the decisions in this family. Can any of your families also recruit my daughter?"
As he spoke, Jiang Weidong pulled Jiang Xiaoyu closer.
"May I ask, your daughter is...?"
"C-rank Beast Taming Talent!"
Chu Gang said stiffly, "The talent is too low. The Fourth Division does not accept!"
Tong Fengwu's eyes darted around, "We accept!"
Li Yinqiao said without hesitation, "We also accept! And the conditions will be double what the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce offers!"
"I say, Director Li, why are you always going against me!" The Fat Man said helplessly.
Li Yinqiao ignored him and continued to look at Jiang Xiaocha, "Student Jiang Xiaocha, the decision is in your hands."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaocha still said, "I'll listen to my brother!"
"You child!" Jiang Weidong stood up in a panic.
Tong Fengwu looked at Fang Xin, "Are you a student too?"
"Yes!"
"What's your name?"
"Fang Xin!"
Jiang Weidong inquired, "Do you know the results in advance? Can you check his results?"
Tong Fengwu smiled, a little embarrassed, "Anyway, the score sheets we received are all C-rank and above. Fang Xin's name is not on my score sheet."
"So that means it's below C-rank, right?" Jiang Weidong secretly gloated.
"That's pretty much what it means."
Jiang Xiaoyu immediately laughed out loud, and Jiang Weidong also glanced at Fang Xin, letting out a smug hum from his nostrils.
Fang Xin was a bit surprised, not expecting it to not even be C-rank.
Jiang Weidong crossed his legs, glancing at Fang Xin, "Below C-rank, huh? Then the job prospects probably aren't very good either."
Jiang Xiaoyu also looked at Fang Xin triumphantly, rubbing her still slightly swollen cheek, feeling as if she had avenged herself.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaocha suddenly spoke.
"Whichever family is willing to recruit my brother, that's the one I'll join!"
This statement made everyone pause.
Chu Gang was the first to speak, still as rigid as ever, "The Fourth Division has very high standards and does not accept those with too low talent!"
Tong Fengwu's small eyes rolled, weighing the pros and cons, feeling it was a bit unprofitable.
Li Yinqiao spoke, "Our Li family can take him in, but the benefits and treatment might be relatively lower, as his talent is too low, and he..."
Before she could finish, another knock on the door came.
"Someone else is here? Huilan, open the door quickly!" Jiang Weidong stood up excitedly, pointing at the door.
His face was beaming with excitement.
Fang Huilan walked to the door and opened it.
After opening the door.
Standing at the door was a white-haired man in a uniform, wearing sunglasses, followed by a beautiful girl.
"You're here for Xiao Cha, aren't you?"
"What Xiao Cha? I'm looking for coffee! Is Fang Xin home?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"His friends."
As he spoke, the white-haired man walked in with the beautiful girl.
"Looking for Fang Xin!"
When Fang Xin saw the white-haired man, his heart tightened.
Why was the Ninth Division here!
Jiang Weidong was currently floating on cloud nine when he saw a white-haired man walk in.
"Fang Xin, you're just a student, why aren't you learning to be good? What kind of shady friends are you making? And you're bringing them home? You..."
Jiang Weidong's words were cut off.
Tong Fengwu and Li Yinqiao both stood up, bowing respectfully.
"Mr. Zhuge!"
Chu Gang also immediately stood up straight and saluted sharply.
"Fourth Special Operations Division, Chu Gang, salutes superior!"
