Chapter 2339: Chapter 2341: Making a Cameo
The two young men couldn’t help but groan after taking the Body Tempering Pill one after the other.
But they were young, so they recovered quickly. An hour after the pill took effect, they energetically went to shower, hanging the shower outside the cabin because there were ladies present.
The Body Tempering Pill’s effects were indeed obvious. The first young man who took it showered, hearing his companion still groaning, and had already taken out a self-heating hot pot. He enthusiastically asked Feng Jun if he wanted some.
Feng Jun said he wasn’t hungry, "Besides, eating convenience food during the holidays just lacks atmosphere. I’ll go back and bring you something better."
"It’s fine, we have plenty. Uncle Feng and Auntie Zhang gave us a lot," the young man skillfully added water and covered the lid, smiling with a hint of shyness, "Mainly because I got hungry quickly. The pill’s effect was too strong; I need to eat something fast."
Feng Jun nodded, understanding now that his parents were indeed reliable, knowing to give these protectors some New Year’s gifts. But he was a bit puzzled, "You can accept gifts from my parents, but not from me?"
"They sponsor the company," the young man replied awkwardly, "Military-civilian cooperation... The company will help with roadbase construction later."
"Oh," Feng Jun now thoroughly understood and then turned away, leaving the shower behind.
The young men wanted to refuse, saying that ten miles away was the company’s main office, with a bathhouse there. Riding a motorcycle wouldn’t take more than ten minutes. But Feng Jun responded, "Just consider it sponsorship. It’s convenient to shower in the summer."
He left with Sister Hong and Zhong Lijing, while the two young men were troubled—should they report today’s events?
Actually, not reporting was impossible. What troubled them was: how should they report?
After discussing, they made the wise choice: honestly report.
Because it was the New Year period, the higher-ups reacted slowly. The person in charge during festivities didn’t understand what Feng Jun’s pills meant. Hearing that they took it on the spot, he didn’t say much, just asked them not to accept Boss Feng’s things in the future.
By the time the truly knowledgeable heard of this, it was already the sixth day of the new year. Furious, they scolded the relevant people, trying to check the pill’s effects, but it was already impossible.
Nevertheless, the two on-duty young men were taken away for a comprehensive body examination.
Feng Jun was the protector for Zhang Caixin, not needing to be fully concentrated. Xiao Caixin was secluded in a small courtyard, protected by a defensive formation. He could roam around as long as he ensured no one approached maliciously.
That’s why on the fourth day, he even visited Dou Jiahui and Gazi’s homes. With his Divine Sense’s strength, occasionally sensing around the mountains was sufficient.
Dou Jiahui was living well. The lighting factory’s lights had no trouble selling. Besides exclusive supply to Luohua, they also found a good market in the north. President Dou later had to adopt cash-on-delivery methods to curb the skyrocketing demand.
As for why business was so good, besides the excellent quality and low prices, many people would also inquire about Dou Jiahui’s relationship with Feng Jun when purchasing.
Dou, the boss, knew well; he knew his brother was playing big now. But for those seeking introductions, he’d rather not do business than comply—a brother’s bond isn’t used this way.
Even if he refused, many orders wouldn’t change. These people were savvy—saying good things about Dou in front of Feng Jun might not work, but saying bad words might.
This relationship can be gradually cultivated; one day, it might turn out well. Who’s to say? After all, purchasing some lights, why not buy from Dou’s house?
Dou Jiahui’s family life was also very fulfilling. His daughter was over a year old, and his wife was pregnant with the second child. This was Feng Jun’s first time meeting Dou’s Little Princess, gifting her a palm-sized piece of Mutton Fat White Jade as a meeting gift.
During lunch, Dou Jiahui even said, "Feng Jun, if my second child is a boy, he should recognize you as his godfather. Is that okay?"
Gazi, however, foolishly asked, "Why can’t the little girl recognize Brother Jun as godfather?"
Luo Yuhuan, quietly eating, raised her head, glanced at him, and handed a chicken claw over, softly saying, "Eat."
Gazi frowned slightly, "You know I don’t like chicken feet... It’s too troublesome."
Luo Yuhuan smiled at him, still speaking softly, "Troublesome is good; it keeps your mouth occupied."
After lunch, Feng Jun took his leave. On the way back, Gazi spoke in a serious tone, "I haven’t mentioned cultivation to Brother Dou, and he hasn’t asked me."
"Hm?" Feng Jun turned to look at him, "What do you mean by that? I don’t understand."
"His son recognizing you as godfather, what for?" Gazi replied matter-of-factly, "It’s certainly not for your money; there’s only one purpose left... He wants his son to cultivate."
"Your reaction is quicker than mine," Feng Jun looked at him in surprise. He hadn’t even considered Dou Jiahui’s intentions, so he was a bit slow, but Gazi, who is straightforward, guessed the answer directly.
Because of this, he couldn’t help but sigh. This brother Jiahui was good in everything except that he was stubborn and refused to lower his status to join him in cultivation—actually, the Dou family members all have this problem, otherwise the Dou family wouldn’t have such a notorious reputation in Chaoyang.
Feng Jun had nothing to say about this, and after a long silence, he sighed softly and mumbled, "The blisters on your feet are from walking yourself, it’s his choice anyway, as long as he’s happy."
Luo Yuhuan, who hadn’t spoken much, also slightly shook his head, thinking to himself that Dou Jiahui... really doesn’t know how blessed he is.
You know, for such an opportunity, how much money would someone offer to exchange with you?
By the sixth day, Beauty Lin actually came looking for Feng Jun—there was no choice, even at home, he wouldn’t take out his mobile phone, so if she had something, she had to come directly.
She straightforwardly passed the checkpoint, and upon seeing Feng Jun, rudely asked, "Elder Feng, you said last time, you can kill a few people, right?"
"Huh?" Feng Jun was dumbfounded upon hearing this. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered the origin and explained with a wry smile, "I was asking if we should silence those communication experts, not kill others."
"Huh?" Beauty Lin was stunned, and after her initial surprise, a thick disappointment appeared on her face.
Feng Jun always prided himself on being particular, and considering the other side dealt with William Smith, which reduced the risk for him, he spoke solemnly, "You guys help me gather information on those experts, I don’t mind helping out... kill a few?"
He wouldn’t ask for reasons, as long as Beauty Lin deemed someone deserving to die, there must be a reason for their demise.
"Kill a few?" Beauty Lin repeated subconsciously, then shook her head vigorously, "Not kill... it’s not actually about killing, I wanted to entrust you to protect a few people. I wanted to exchange the killing tokens for protection tokens, but since I misunderstood..."
"Then there’s no problem at all," Feng Jun quickly interrupted her, "Killing harms morality, saving people accumulates virtue. Just tell me, how do I protect them, and for how long?"
Beauty Lin hesitated for a moment, considering that it was still a favor to pay back, and finally nodded, "Not long, just two to three weeks."
She was entrusting Feng Jun to protect a financial exchange team. Next week, a global financial forum is set to open in Foggy City, Britain - a five-day forum.
However, this financial exchange team also has other tasks, which is to take advantage of this trip to Europa, to visit other nations and explain Huaxia’s idea of restoring currency standard currency—in essence, to gain more international support.
Not visiting is impossible; it’s already officially announced. Things have come to a head, and the rabbit skin can no longer cover up, its teeth are showing.
This trip to visit each country is bound to be an uneasy task. Although Western nations tend to be quite anti-intellectual, anyone with some sense knows the benefits of using gold as a standard currency.
But with such an obvious truth, Huaxia actually needs to send people around, it’s clearly not about the logic, the key is whether Huaxia can offer terms that make the visited nations agree.
The reasoning is just one aspect; more importantly, Huaxia must guard against Mai Nation’s sabotage. You can’t have any hope for the integrity of a nation that does "targeted elimination" of foreign guests on foreign soil.
Regardless, attending the financial forum is necessary, or else they’d cut themselves off from the world.
The visits must be made, even purely from a ceremonial standpoint, there must be such a process—you can’t reform the currency without explaining it to us, who do you think you are disrespecting?
Even a superpower like Mai Nation, when faced with such a major event, would have to make detailed explanations to other nations.
But everyone knows that Huaxia’s relevant financial authorities are closely watched by all countries worldwide, the likelihood of accidents is extremely high once they set out.
The itinerary is already fixed, there’s no chance to modify it, nor can they retreat—there’s no turning back after the bowstring is drawn.
The team will definitely have security personnel accompanying them, and the specifications will be quite high, but what do mere dozens mean against the forces of a nation? Unless it’s a small island nation, which army can they compete with security personnel?
Moreover, Mai Nation is known for its bottomless approach to things. Their long-arm jurisdiction aside, when pushed hard, it’s possible for them to shoot down the exchange team’s plane—such things they have done before.
Of course, the possibility of the team’s plane being shot down is not very high. For the Mai Nation, capturing two financial authorities and understanding Huaxia’s overall layout and strategy is their top priority.
Therefore, the security situation is genuinely not optimistic, so someone suggested: could the people from Luohua help with security?
