37 37.
It wasn't long for Chen Kai to get a report on what transpired. Argon reported it first then the guards a few minutes later.
He smirked at the thought of Han Feng using his limited resources to reduce his worries. They can't doctor XiaoYan's report because it had many witnesses and two reputed people were with Officer Ning. He no longer bothers about them.
"Everything alright?" Xiao Wei inquired. The smirk on Chen Kai's face made him uneasy. He straightened his posture, ready to give out orders in light of bad news.
"The interview with XiaoYan is complete. We should get a response on this side soon." Chen Kai spoke to everyone in the office. Xiao Wei sighed and returned to his previous relaxed position. The two lawyers opposite them nodded their heads in acknowledgnt and kept the montum in reviewing the present docunts.
Lawyer Qin, a trusted friend of Lawyer Luo, quickly accessed his laptop to await the email.
"Mr. Chen, are you sure about this last request?" Lawyer Qin asked, probing Chen Kai's feelings on the matter in his hand.
"Yes. Today he will carry my last na and beco part of my family as my little brother. This isn't a mistake nor a whim." The tone was brisk and straight to the point. There was no reason to go into a monologue.
The lawyer nodded and collated the docunts needed to change XiaoYan's permanent address and household. When he saw the address on Chen Kai's household registration, Lawyer Qin glanced at Lawyer Luo. The latter was aware that a few things may question his friend's eyesight, so he kept watching. He nodded, confirming the information with his friend so the process could move along.
In many business circles, the majority knows an address that proves your net worth. That is the Sleeping Dragon Villa's address. If they knew its master is a college graduate their minds would shake at the thought.
"Is he willing to get his identity card at this age?" Lawyer Qin scanned the docunts and sent them to his relevant associates in the Civil Affairs Bureau and kept note of the ti. It wasn't uncommon for a child under 16 to apply for an identity card, there are five years of validation by then the child will be either 16 or over.
"He says it will feel more real when he sees it. A surna."
Everyone in the room understood the statent and couldn't chase away the sympathy they had for XiaoYan.
"Very well. The process will now enter preparations after we get the judge's signature, my friends in Civil Affairs will complete everything. All that will be required by you is a few signatures and paynts."
Chen Kai smiled at the man and spoke his thanks in a soft tone, ending the conversation with that word.
It's good to have connections to avoid unnecessary waiting.
During the ti of waiting, the WeChat group Chen Kai accepted earlier in the day was currently active due to his entrance.
High school classmates one by one gave their polite welco until one broke the common courtesy and stepped into the boasting arena.
It's like a sport within their culture.
Who can brag the highest about connections, money, jobs, won, whatever that will make the people around you green with envy? For those who actively boast and show off their riches with full arrogance feel great excitent and pleasure when they do. Seeing their so-called friends jealous is very pleasant.
Classmate1: How's Nanjing, Brother Chen? It's ti to graduate, right? Have you hooked on a job yet? I heard it's hard over there for fresh graduates. If you're coming back ho, I can help you.
Classmate2: Classmate Lang you're so kind to us. Being a manager at a 4S store takes into consideration one's professionalism. It won't be a job to be a salesperson at a 4S store.
Classmate3: Maybe Brother Chen will look for sothing around his majors. Wasn't it in finance and sothing?
Classmate1: I can't rember but you can't involve pride when looking for a job. It's hard for everyone these days even here in Lishui. He always had that pride that gives us secondhand embarrassnt.
Classmate4: So people's pride will never be diminished.
Classmate5: I heard my boss saying working in Finance is a dead-end job. The young ones who study that major won't get many job opportunities. Only the veterans are accepted.
Classmate6: Where's Brother Chen? He didn't respond to our greetings nor reply to Brother Chu's offer.
Classmate4: Maybe he's busy.
Classmate7: Hehehehe!! Busy?
Classmate8: You seem to know sothing.
Classmate9: It's not polite to talk like this knowing the person will see.
Classmate1: Oh!!!! Our etiquette princess, XiaoLi is here.
Classmate7: Classmate Zhu Dong shared sothing with us.
Classmate5: Brother Dong who made it to the sa university as Brother Chen? That guy has been complaining about college since day one. What did he say this ti?
Zhu Dong: Brother Zhang let's leave it there.
Classmate7: No fun. I guess you guys have to wait until we et next weekend.
Classmate9: Is Chen Kai coming this ti?
Classmate10: So what if he is coming? Are you going to rush and report to Goddess Luo.
Classmate1: Is she coming? It will be worth it if the goddess is there.
Classmate9: Sister Luo returned a few weeks ago to visit her family before leaving again for a high-paying job. She was hired by a top company.
Classmate7: As expected of our school goddess.
Classmate2: Isn't it sweet? The two high school lovers are returning for our reunion. Hohohoho! Will the drama continue?
Classmate3: I won't have you bring up that dark history. Everyone knows the truth.
Classmate2: Is it?
Classmate9: Sister Luo never indulged herself in such things as like for Chen Kai. He's not worthy of our Sister Luo. He should have been blessed when she spoke to him that day.
Classmate7: Hahahahaha!!! Even words of rejection should be considered blessed words from the goddess.
Classmate2: It will be so exciting next weekend. Oh?! Is Brother Yue coming also?
The entire chat exploded. By the ntion of Tang Yue, the thought of a love triangle fight happening at the reunion. It was an open secret that Tang Yue liked Luo Xianrou romantically but at the sa ti when he was about to confess to her, a few of his classmates were executing a joint prank that involved Chen Kai.
The two paths intersected creating an ever-changing story of their school days.
In Qingtian County, located in Zhejiang Province, a young woman was silently watching her high school friends in the chatgroup chatter about their current life, their younger days filled with so much fun and creating idiotic drama about classmates they never cared about.
Beside her was her college dorm mate who returned to the county with her as part of their mini-vacation. It was lucky they both passed their interviews for the sa company, this tightened their friendship knowing they were starting their careers together.
She snorted in disinterest when she saw her na in several sentences. Crossing her shapely legs and tucking her hair behind her ear gently, she shifted her body in a practiced seductive posture. A smirk played on her pink-stained lips when she saw the follow-up.
There's no need to reply. This was done by her self-proclaid spoke person, the girl went as far as flaunting her accomplishnts like her own.
"What is it?" Jiang Xue took a sip of her coffee and brushed her phone screen, listening out for Luo Xianrou's reply. Her shoulder-length hair fell into a light waterfall as she slightly leaned forward to take a sip of her drink.
The two were in the middle of a little shopping trip to relieve their boredom.
"My class reunion is next week and they are bringing up old receipts hoping to trigger an explosion when the ti cos," she answered unhurriedly.
"Oh?! What is it?! Show !" Jiang Xue pushed for her to talk more.
Wherever there's drama she must get a piece of it.
Xue received the phone from Xianrou and started from the beginning of the chat log. From the content, she understood who was Chen Kai and Tang Yue plus the reason why Xianrou's na popped up. When she finished the entire soap opera, she turned to Xianrou. "This Chen Kai is he really a vase of poor quality? I t Tang Yue and he's pretty good-looking and at a good starting point. Are you interested in either of them?"
"Tang Yue is a good prospect but it's a waste to develop sothing. I'm not into long-distance relationships. As for Chen Kai, his family was ordinary, and gained so money over the years but he did his studies in Nanjing at one of the top universities. He's probably developing there. He's a failure also because his family isn't his, so he's a simple ordinary man with nothing on his na. I will admit he's quite handso and was the best in our school but that can't earn money."
Jiang Xue listened to Xianrou and nodded in agreent with her explanation. Her friend is a beauty and has a solid family background, her future partner has to be on equal footing or higher than her.
"We are heading to a new city, a new province. We are lucky enough to get a job and a good place to live. If we play our cards right, we will et soone to our liking. These county boys aren't enough," Jiang Xue comnted.
Luo Xianrou chuckled and retrieved her phone. Quietly she placed a comnt in the chat to watch the guys flatter her. It was cute that they tried to gain her attention knowing that they won't succeed.
Through the nurous greetings, a comnt slipped in that silenced everyone.
Chen Kai: Hello, everyone. Late greetings. Its actually Finance and dia Studies, its easy to forget. Yes, I'll be coming. Class Monitor Mu Zui was kind to send the details early. I was busy, looking for a job is really hard work! I'll be bringing along a companion. Is that okay? (Smile)
Everyone: ....
If he can answer the mocking questions from above, doesn't that an he had ti to read the entire chat?
Mu Zui: Classmate Chen, of course, you can. We will be delighted to et your girlfriend.
Obviously, she's fishing for information on Chen Kai's companion.
Chen Kai: Class monitor, lol, you're embarrassing . My girlfriend said another ti. I'll be bringing along my little brother. He wants to travel that weekend.
Little brother? Chen Kai has a little brother?
Isn't his 'brother' Chu Han?
Mu Zui: That's wonderful. Its a pity we can't et your girlfriend but a brother who's younger than Chu Han?
The class monitor deserves to be a budding News Reporter. Plucking out information and highlighting the points they wish to know.
Classmate1: This is big news, Classmate Chen. We're ashad not knowing you have 'another' brother.
Chen Kai: lol, I know right? Such a sha but it's one brother I have. He'll be happy to et everyone when we co to play.
Classmate7: Classmate Chen, aren't you going to greet Sister Xianrou?
Chen Kai: Hello, everyone.
