Chapter 444: Private Teaching and Receiving, or Secret Pass (Second Update)
He Chuchu's appearance shocked many Chinese bigwigs in the box on the second floor of the Grand Theater.
Because just a few years ago, he was still able to call the upper echelons of the country and have close contacts with many high-level government officials.
The white elite treated him with great respect, and no one dared to despise or even discriminate against him.
At that time, the Chinese in Chinatown walked out, and their waists were a little straighter than usual.
But soon, with his sudden disappearance, the country's Chinatown bigwigs experienced a wave of change and loss.
The huge industry he left behind was coveted by many people.
Zhuge Hanying stood beside Xiao Yiyuan and quietly explained to him what happened at the beginning.
The more Xiao Yiyuan listened, the more surprised he became, "...... Before he suddenly disappeared, he sold all his property? How do you know so clearly? β
"Because we have taken over most of his estate in our own country." Zhuge Hanying shrugged his shoulders disapprenously, "No one else dares to buy it, because there are very harsh additional conditions." β
"What's the strings attached?"
"It seems like it's going to be seven years. After seven years, the purchaser has full ownership. Within seven years, it can be redeemed at the original price. β
Xiao Yiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "...... Then he reappeared, is the seven-year period coming up? β
Zhuge Hanying's heart moved.
She hadn't even thought of that just now.
When she bought He Chuchu's property here, she was still young.
It was only when she started working in finance in Gepai in the past few years that she learned about the purchase that year.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know, I wasn't involved in the acquisition at the time. Zhuge Hanying said implicitly, "But what you said is very reasonable, and it is very likely that this is the reason." But ......"
She frowned slightly, "I remember my dad said that their masters have calculated, what is the beginning of this...... is obviously no longer alive, so he dares to buy it aggressively. β
What she didn't say was that He Chuchu's asking price was already very low, which could be regarded as a "cheap sale", but the purchase price of their Ge Pai, which was more cabbage than cabbage, could no longer be described as "cheap sale".
Now seeing the main lord appear, Zhuge Hanying is worried in his heart, not to mention the big bosses who are really in power in the Ge faction, now they are sweating and panicking, right?
β¦β¦
Situ Qiu looked at He Chuchu's appearance, and the whole person was a little stupid.
She was so anxious that she didn't hear Shen Rubao's words at all.
Seeing that she didn't react, Shen Rubao pursed her mouth, and went to pull Shen Qixuan's arm again, "Dad, can you invite that person to our house for dinner?" I want to know him. β
Shen Qixuan also has an impression of He Chuchu.
He Chuchu was not very famous in China back then, but he was in the limelight overseas.
The Shen family also has a lot of investment overseas, so they have heard a little about the He family in South America, and they also know that his sudden disappearance and sale of the industry have caused a sensation overseas.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets, watched the people below embrace He Zhichu, who had a cold and indifferent expression, and walked up to the circular platform, smiled, and said to Shen Rubao: "...... Beibei, this depends on whether people give face. β
"Our family invited him to dinner and asked him to save face?" Shen Rubao widened a pair of slightly light-colored eyes, and his face was full of incredulity, "But our Shen family!" And with my grandfather's house, are there any guests in this world that we can't invite? β
This is childish and naΓ―ve.
Shen Qixuan couldn't help but rub her head and said with a smile, "...... Beibei, you think too much of your parents, there are indeed people we can't invite......"
"Dad, you're too modest, I don't believe it." Shen Rubao rolled his eyes, dragged Shen Qixuan's arm and shook it, and said in a loud voice: "Dad, Dad, good Dad!" Please! I really want to get to know him! β
"Why do you know him? You're not in business. Shen Qixuan scratched her upturned little nose dotingly.
"Our family is in business! We are the richest man in the country, and we can't afford to invite him? Shen Rubao grabbed Shen Qixuan's hand and didn't let him continue to scratch her nose.
The only thing she is not satisfied with her facial features is her nose, which is slightly upturned, although it looks cute, but it does not match her positioning as a "little fairy".
She likes Wen Yinuo's nose, slender and straight, as if she had measured it with a ruler.
Shen Qixuan shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that our industry has no intersection with him, it was not in the same circle before, and there is really no opportunity." But now that your grandfather's family seems to be quite familiar with him, it might be more useful for you to beg your grandfather. β
Shen Rubao's gaze fell on the circular platform in the hall, and he let out an "oh", feeling that it made sense.
As soon as Shen Qixuan spoke, Situ Qiu's attention returned.
She had been silently listening to Shen Qixuan and Shen Rubao talking.
It wasn't until Shen Qixuan said that their Shen family's industry had no intersection with He Chuchu, her fingers clenched into fists uncontrollably, and the green tendons on the back of her hands were exposed.
Shen Qixuan didn't know that Situ Qiu, through the relationship of the Ge faction, secretly bought part of He Chuchu's property acquired by the Ge faction, and then transferred it to the Shen family in his own name.
This kind of asset flow is a common thing in people like them, and it is Situ Qiu's industry, so Shen Qixuan is not easy to ask very carefully.
Now that He Chuchu has returned again, Situ Qiu instantly remembered those "additional conditions".
Perhaps, she did want to invite He Chuchu to "have a meal".
Situ Qiu calmed down, and said to Shen Rubao with a smile: "Beibei, don't worry, as long as it is Beibei's wish, my mother will help you achieve it." When this competition is over, I'll ask your grandfather if I can arrange a meal with this Mr. He. β
Lan Qinfen and Cen Chunyan listened silently on the side, glancing at each other, with amazement and awe in their eyes.
The Situ family and the Shen family are really too powerful......
β¦β¦
Here, Situ Zhao and Situ Che, father and son, one left and one right, followed He Chuchu to the circular high platform.
The master of ceremonies handed the microphone to Situ Che.
Situ Che took the microphone and said very calmly: "Fellow Daoists, friends, hello everyone. Today is the quadrennial Daomen World Cup Grand Championship Qualifier. β
"This year, I presided over the preparation, and on the basis of the previous edition, we have improved the method of judging and scoring."
"In the past, we only had five judges, but today we have added five new judges. They are ......"
Situ Che revealed the identities of these five scientists, scientists and Nobel laureates.
"Mr. Costa, a tenured professor in the Department of Physics at a prestigious university, is a Nobel Prize winner in physics for his achievements in string theory."
"Mr. Charlemagne, a tenured professor in the Department of Chemistry of a prestigious university, has many patents in materials science, and is a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry."
"Mr. Nolan, a tenured professor in the Department of Microelectronics of a prestigious university, has a number of chip patents, and is a Nobel Prize winner in physics."
"Mr. Huang Qi is a tenured professor of the Department of Mathematics of a prestigious university, a senior scholar of quantum geometry, and a double winner of the highest award in mathematics, the Fields Medal and the Wolf Medal."
"Mr. Zhou Ning, attending physician in the Department of Brain Surgery, the No. 1 hospital in China, and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine."
The audience was even more in an uproar, and the sound of pumping came and went, and it was heard clearly.
Xiao Yiyuan was even more moved.
He majored in computer science, but minored in electrical engineering, and has long known Mr. Nolan, who is famous in the microelectronics industry.
ββ¦β¦ These are scientists, what are they doing here? Still a judge? Xiao Yiyuan couldn't help but ask Zhuge Hanying, "Have you ever invited such a judge before?" β
"Of course not!" Zhuge Hanying was also stunned, she spread her hands and said, "There were only five judges before, and they were all from our Ge faction. I didn't expect that as soon as Che Shao took office, he would drastically reform the judges, I really don't know what demon moths will come out of this year's competition! β
The shock in Xiao Yiyuan's heart cannot be described in words.
His gaze wandered the hall, looking for the figure he wanted to see, but he couldn't find it.
However, considering that there are all kinds of high platforms in the hall downstairs, blind corners of the line of sight, and dark places of light abound, it is possible that he can't find her for a while.
After Situ Che introduced the five new judges, the conversation changed and turned to He Chuchu.
He solemnly introduced again: "In addition to the five new judges, there is also a Taishang judge, Mr. He Chuchu! β
"When the opinions of our ten judges are tied, the Taishang judges have a decisive vote to decide the results."
"Mr. He Chuchu is an important person in our Chinatown, and he has won a lot of benefits for Chinatown back then, let us applaud and welcome it!"
There was a burst of applause and cheers in the Grand Theater.
Even the background music was replaced with a cheerful welcome song.
After everyone was lively, Situ Che returned the microphone to the emcee and took a step back.
Zhuge Yunliu was already standing beside him, wearing a formal professional dress skirt, his classical and delicate facial features were suddenly mixed with a modern atmosphere, and his temperament was very charming.
When Situ Che stepped back, Zhuge Yunliu didn't know what he was talking to, he tilted his head slightly, still with the smile on his face.
Zhuge Hanying saw it, and secretly praised her sister in her heart.
The master of ceremonies then announced: "The preliminary round of the 18th World Cup Dakui Competition of Daomen has officially begun!" β
"This year's competition was held according to the regulations that everyone gave."
"There are eight rings here, and each ring has a master guarding it."
"Each contestant has five minutes to challenge the master, and if they beat the master within five minutes, they will get a perfect five points and become the new champion."
"For each challenger defeated by the defending champion, five more points are added."
"If a contestant is defeated by a master within five minutes, points are scored according to the length of stay. If you persist for less than a minute, you will be counted as a zero. β
"The scoring is completely electronic, without any human interference."
"Everyone, pay attention, everyone only has two chances to challenge different champions."
"Fail twice and you're out of the tournament."
"The top eight with the highest points at the end will advance to the first round."
β¦β¦
Wen Yinuo listened intently from the audience and understood the rules of the game.
That is, today is the qualifier of "eight more into eight".
After these eight people enter the first round of the competition, four people will be eliminated, that is, eight into four.
The second round of the competition was held between these four people, and two of them were eliminated, and it was four into two to enter the final.
The third round of the final was played between these two.
The rules of the game are brutal, but they are also exciting.
This means that the big leader who wins in the end has a chance to win almost all of them!
She bit her lower lip inadvertently, a dark glint flashed in her eyes, and she said eagerly: "There are more than 300 people to choose eight people, today's game must be very exciting!" β
Daoist Wang beside her pursed his lips and said, "It's seven people, not eight." β
Wen Yinuo: "......"
She looked at Daoist Wang and thought to herself, I heard you right, right?
She pointed to the master of ceremonies just now and asked, "...... Didn't he say that the eight people with the most points at the end would make it to the first round? β
"Yes, but the big leader of the previous session will automatically enter the first round of the competition and do not need to participate in the qualifiers." Daoist Wang smiled and shook his head, "So there are only seven of us who can be selected." β
Wen Yinuo's eyes rolled, "Is this written in the rules?" β
"What rules?"
"It's the rules of the game......"
"The rules that the master of ceremonies just said."
"I don't know." Daoist Wang was a little confused, "But it used to be like this. β
Wen Yinuo's eyes slipped around the Grand Theater.
She was very sure that she didn't see Mr. Zhuge , the winner of the last two sessions.
Therefore, just after the emcee's speech, Wen Yinuo picked up the microphone in the audience and asked loudly: "May I ask Mr. Emcee, do you have to participate in today's qualifiers to enter the top eight in the first round?" β
The master of ceremonies nodded and said with certainty: "Yes, you must participate in today's qualifiers, and you must have points to participate in the first round of official competitions." β
This sentence seems to be just a simple rule, but some people on the field have stirred up a lot of noise in their hearts.
Someone immediately shouted: "...... But the winner of the previous year's big prize qualified to go straight to the first round! No need to participate in the qualifiers! β
When the master of ceremonies heard that it made sense, he immediately said: "That's right, the winner of the last year's big championship is eligible to directly enter the first round of the competition, and does not need to participate in today's qualifiers." β
Because of this rule in these sessions, familiar people don't ask anymore.
Only Wen Yinuo was still unyielding and continued: "...... Is it? Why isn't there this one in the rules of the game? β
She held the piece of paper up and shook it, "Everyone has the rules for this game, everyone can take one at the entrance." What are the rules that are not in the rules of the competition? Privately taught and received? Or is it a secret song? β
Poofββ!
Many people were amused by Wen Yinuo's words.
Privately taught and received, is this how the secret pass song is used?
But when you think about it, it's really interesting.
Shen Qixuan, who was standing in the largest box, hooked the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly, and a smile of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
Shen Rubao pursed his lips and muttered, "...... It's her again, will she die if she doesn't show off? Things that are not allowed on the table on the small door ......"
"Beibei, don't say that, did Mommy teach you that?" Without waiting for Shen Qixuan's gaze to come over, Situ Qiu immediately scolded Shen Rubao in a low voice.
Shen Rubao hurriedly covered her mouth, her eyes rolled around flexibly, "Oh Mommy, I said it wrong...... I shouldn't have told the truth......"
"You kid, you're so poor......"
Situ Qiu touched her head, glanced at Shen Qixuan by the way, and saw that he had no expression on his face and looked indifferent, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yiyuan, who was in the box next to them, finally saw Wen Yinuo.
I saw that in a group of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes of various colors, Wen Yinuo was so fresh that he really looked like a cloud that had fallen into the world.
She stood there with a graceful smile on her face, and her lacquered eyes, which were darker than ordinary people, seemed to be able to penetrate the darkest night and point directly to people's hearts.
Xiao Yiyuan's heart beat violently.
It was the first time the two had met since their divorce, and he found himself loving her more than ever.

This is the second update.
Good night everyone.
Qun Mo Da!
