After being raged at by Zhao Dashan, the elite mbers of the Hidden Dragon Special Corps were all inspired with fighting spirit. All of them signed up for the assessnt, with not a single person willing to back down without a fight.
For these soldiers, backing down without a fight was the behavior of cowards.
If they fought and still lost, at least they had struggled, worked hard, and fought for their goals, which would allow them to live up to themselves and have a clear conscience.
Dugu Zixi spent an entire afternoon setting up the three stages of the assessnt.
The first stage was a heavy pressure arena, used to test the soldiers’ willpower and endurance.
The second stage was the Illusory Array, used to test the soldiers’ ntal fortitude.
The third stage was to test their aptitude.
Dugu Zixi would absolutely not impart his teachings to soone with a malicious heart, no matter how talented or gifted they were; he would remain unmoved.
A person with a malicious heart, once they learned his powerful techniques or spells and if there was no one to control their actions, would definitely be a scourge on society and a disaster to the people.
At that ti, he, as the teacher, would have to accept the karmic punishnt of the Heavenly Dao.
Thus, he had to take precautions and prevent problems before they arose.
After arranging everything, Dugu Zixi told Wei Ting the assessnt would start at eight o’clock the next morning, then returned to the dormitory arranged for him by Wei Ting.
After setting up a defensive barrier in his room, Dugu Zixi couldn’t wait to enter his space.
Upon entering, he found Shen Tianxing already waiting for him inside, with a table full of Spirit Food, waiting for him to co back and share the al.
In that mont, Dugu Zixi felt a warmth flooding his heart.
After casting a Cleaning Technique on himself, he stepped forward to embrace Shen Tianxing and kissed her forehead, then said sincerely, "Thank you, Xiaoxing."
Shen Tianxing smiled and said, "Thank what? Hurry up and eat. After we’ve eaten, you can tell about your day. I’ve missed you all day."
Hearing her say she missed him, Dugu Zixi felt an intense warmth and tenderness in his heart. Looking into her eyes, it was as if they were so gentle they could drip water.
He smiled, "Alright, I’ll tell you all about it after we eat."
During the al, Dugu Zixi carefully removed the bones from the fish, peeled the lobster, and tenderly fed the at to Shen Tianxing. She only needed to open her mouth and eat.
Enjoying the limitless affection from her fiancé, Shen Tianxing’s eyes crinkled with laughter. She said to Dugu Zixi, "Zixi, if you keep spoiling like this, be careful you don’t turn into a useless person who can’t do anything!"
Dugu Zixi smiled gently, "As long as it’s who spoils you, no matter what you beco, I will accept you as you are."
Shen Tianxing happily said, "Good, I’ll rember what you’ve said. In the future you can’t despise !"
Dugu Zixi then put another piece of lobster at into her mouth and said with a light smile, "I promise not to despise you!"
After having their sweet and blissful dinner, Dugu Zixi briefly told her about the day’s events at the Hidden Dragon Special Corps.
Shen Tianxing also shared her day with him, which was simply going to school, attending classes, and then leaving school.
However, she did rember there was sothing she had not yet done and now was the right ti to talk about it with him and ask for his opinion.
"Xixi, rember how we secured several large funds before? I want to use that money for charity. What do you think is the best way to go about it?"
Dugu Zixi looked up and asked her, "Do you have any plans in mind?"
Shen Tianxing thought for a mont and said, "I have considered a few options. First is to donate to orphanages; second is to use the money to open a public welfare hospital that would provide free treatnt to the poor; third is to donate for road construction and the building of Hope Schools in impoverished areas."
Dugu Zixi gently stroked her head and said with a smile, "Your ideas are all quite good. Just go ahead and do as you wish. However, for so matters, you don’t need to take action yourself. I recomnd that you establish a charity foundation, hire professional managers to execute these tasks, and track the follow-up matters."
After considering for a while, Shen Tianxing accepted Dugu Zixi’s suggestion. "You’re right. It’s better to leave these tasks to professionals. Many hands make light work. All we need to do is provide the funding and ensure proper supervision. But, won’t people investigate the source of the money?"
Dugu Zixi chuckled lightly and said, "With the Dugu Family’s protection, who would dare to investigate you? Still, just to be safe, better keep a public account for transparency."
Shen Tianxing nodded, "Alright, I understand."
Afterward, Dugu Zixi continued with his training plans.
Shen Tianxing also began the preparations to set up the Xingxi Charity Foundation.
On the weekend, through the recomndation of a headhunting firm, Shen Tianxing interviewed two candidates for the executive director of the foundation at a serene teahouse.
One was a man nad Kong Zhongshu, 35 years old, divorced.
He had a scholarly and gentle appearance, his voice was soft, and he was ticulous in observing people and things. He had been a custor service manager at a certain state-owned bank and had resigned due to personal reasons.
The other was a young woman nad Long Yang, 28 years old, unmarried.
Long Yang had neat, short bobbed hair, wore high heels, and was dressed in a fitting business suit with black tailored pants. Her figure was graceful, and she looked quite charming, embodying the style of a mature woman.
When Kong Zhongshu and Long Yang saw that their interviewer was a young girl who looked quite naive, they were too surprised to speak.
After a while, Long Yang finally asked with a smile, "Little sister, are you sure you’re not joking?"
Shen Tianxing countered indifferently, "Do you think I would pay such a high commission to a headhunting firm to find people as a joke?"
When Long Yang saw the dissatisfaction in Shen Tianxing’s eyes, she was startled and quickly apologized, "I’m really sorry! It’s my limited experience. I’ve never seen such a young boss before!"
Seeing that Long Yang was quick to recognize her fault, Shen Tianxing didn’t make things difficult for her and gestured for both of them to sit down and talk.
Kong Zhongshu and Long Yang conscientiously presented their personal profiles to Shen Tianxing, saying in unison, "This is my resu."
Shen Tianxing took them and glanced at the faces of Kong Zhongshu and Long Yang, then said directly, "Okay, you’re both hired. Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, co to Jinxiu Garden Building X, Apartnt X to find . I’ll assign your tasks then. Any questions?"
Kong Zhongshu and Long Yang couldn’t believe their ears.
Interview successful, just like that?
Without asking anything further, that’s it?
Why does it feel so frivolous?
Shen Tianxing seed to read their thoughts and said with a faint smile, "Don’t be surprised. I can read faces. I know whether you are good or bad and if you can be of use with just one look."
