"Hmph! Character is all an empty thing! I, Wang Jue, can also guarantee it with my character."
Wang Jue spoke calmly, saying, "Why don't we have a competition to decide who the collaborator will be?"
His eyes held confidence, wanting to let his strength speak for itself.
"Good! Let the two geniuses decide!"
Liu Ming's eyes darted around, and he finally nodded.
In fact, the other conditions from the two companies were acceptable, and he was a bit hesitant to make a decision.
Since that was the case, he would see the strength of Chen Shu and Wang Jue, treating it as a dice roll to decide.
It was also an opportunity to witness a spectacular match.
"Are you sure?"
Chen Shu's mouth parted slightly as he sized up Wang Jue.
"He's a Black Iron level Beast Tamer, he can completely crush any intern Beast Tamer. Don't even mention your S-class Contracted Spirit, even an SS-class wouldn't be of any use!"
"He's really an outsider," Xu Xiaoyu shook her head, having not experienced the beatings of a fierce bandit. She silently mourned for Wang Jue.
Wang Jue remained composed and stood up, saying, "I'm in a hurry! Thank you!"
Xu Xiaoyu's mouth gaped. Were there really people in a hurry to reincarnate these days?
Chen Shu remained seated. The space to his left cracked open, revealing a pair of incredibly adorable, large eyes.
"Partial Summon?" Wang Jue's eyes widened, vaguely sensing something amiss.
This technique was not something a high school student could master!
Before his words had even fallen, the space to Chen Shu's right also cracked open, revealing a pair of intelligent eyes.
One person and two beasts gazed at Wang Jue. The atmosphere in the conference room instantly fell silent.
Chen Shu asked, "Brother Wang, when should we compete?"
"Compete? What competition?" Wang Jue quietly sat down, a look of confusion in his eyes, and said, "Haven't the spots already been decided? I had my sights set on Uncle Xu's company long ago!"
Looking at Wang Jue's effortless change of tune, everyone couldn't help but secretly click their tongues.
"Damn, that was too smooth!"
"Young Master Wang..." The boss of Duobao Company spoke in a low voice, not expecting that the person he had invited at great expense would betray him so quickly.
"Alright! Since that's the case, then 666 Pharmaceutical Company will sign the contract with our company!"
Liu Ming was shocked. He hadn't expected Chen Shu to have Black Iron level strength. This alone was enough for him to cooperate with 666 Pharmaceutical Company. At the very least, the two parties had established a connection.
"Pleasure working with you!" Xu Feng's eyes held a smile. He hadn't expected Chen Shu to be so helpful. "This one million is worth it!"
"Pleasure working with you!" The two companies began to sign the contract. Chen Shu lost interest in participating in subsequent matters.
As soon as he left the 666 Pharmaceutical Company, a voice called out to him.
"Brother Chen!" Wang Jue said with a smile, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
Chen Shu turned back and asked, "En? Is something wrong?"
"Let's be friends! Let's be friends!" Wang Jue said with a grin, "We're both freshmen at Huaxia University. Please take care of me, Brother Chen."
"Just call me Brother Han Fei."
"Han Fei?" Wang Jue's eyes widened, appearing somewhat astonished. He then gave a thumbs-up, "You live up to your name! No wonder I was instantly captivated by Brother Han Fei's charisma from the start!"
Wang Jue spoke eloquently, clearly telling lies with his eyes open.
Xu Xiaoyu, standing nearby, parted her lips slightly. Were all students recruited by Huaxia University like this?
Chen Shu rubbed his chin, sizing up the other person, and said, "You've got good acting skills, kid?"
"Can't be helped, it's how I make a living!" Wang Jue said with a smile. "I'll treat Brother Han Fei to dinner tonight to make up for my earlier rudeness!"
As he was speaking, his phone rang.
"Hold on, I'm taking a call." Wang Jue took out his phone. "Hello?"
"Is this Young Master Wang, the genius of Huaxia University? I have a meeting here and I'd like you to represent us."
Wang Jue furrowed his brows and said, "Changshi? No, it's too far! I won't make it today."
"The appearance fee is one million, with half refunded if it fails. Just transfer fifty thousand to me directly."
"???"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Finally, it seemed like the person wanted to say something, but fearing that Wang Jue would hold a grudge, they hung up.
"You're practically robbing me blind!"
"There's such a thing?" Chen Shu's mouth twitched. "You're really audacious!"
"Just kidding," Wang Jue said with a smile. If the other party truly transferred the money, he wouldn't mind accepting it reluctantly. "It's for survival. Having finally gotten into Huaxia University, it's a golden signboard."
Chen Shu was only doing this part-time, while this guy had already turned it into a profession.
"Brother Han Fei, I'll contact you tonight!" Wang Jue waved goodbye and left the company entrance.
"Okay!" Chen Shu didn't refuse. Who could refuse a free dinner?
"Xiaoyu, your school starts on September 1st, right?"
"En? What's wrong?"
Chen Shu patted his chest and said, "Let's go together then. With me escorting you, safety is guaranteed!"
Xu Xiaoyu's expression was a little troubled. If she traveled with Chen Shu, she was worried she'd be directly sent to the Spirit Suppression Bureau.
"If others are starting school and we're going to jail, wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
"It's a done deal then!" Chen Shu said, feeling incredibly pleased.
Another free dinner, another free train ticket. Was life really this good?
As night fell, Chen Shu and Wang Jue had dinner. The two of them chatted extensively and planned for the future of the Blue Star.
Wang Jue had to rush off to take another job and left Nanjiang City in a hurry.
Chen Shu returned to his usual lazy summer vacation state, not needing to worry about anything, which put his mind at ease.
Happy times always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was August 25th.
Chen Shu lay on the sofa, idly flipping through his phone and looking at the messages in the group chat. At this moment, a group chat named "Huaxia University Batch 981 Combat Department" was buzzing with activity.
"Classmates, school is about to start, I'm so excited!"
"Yeah, I heard there are quite a few geniuses in our batch this year."
"Have you guys heard? The top scorer from Beiyuan City has an SS-class Contracted Spirit. He hasn't joined the group, otherwise, we could get in touch early."
"What's that? Our Dongtang City also has an SS-class, and it's about to advance to Black Iron level."
"The pressure is really high this year. It seems like everyone is a genius."
Chen Shu rubbed his chin and suddenly thought of something. He immediately used a secondary account to apply to join the group, changing the remark to "Zhang Dali".
"Zhang Dali: What are you guys talking about? I heard that Nanjiang City produced a formidable person named Chen Shu, who became a Black Iron level during the college entrance examination!"
"Chen Shu: Classmate, you flatter me! We're all geniuses, I'm nothing." He licked his lips and switched back to his secondary account.
"Zhang Dali: Brother Chen Shu, don't be so humble. I heard that as soon as you made a move, you won the Beast Taming competition, and during the college entrance examination, you almost killed a Black Iron level Monarch!"
"Chen Shu: It's all not worth mentioning! Classmate! Please stop talking! I really don't want to show off!"
"Zhang Dali: No, I want to talk! No one can stop me!"
Chen Shu nodded with satisfaction. The group chat had fallen silent, which was exactly the effect he wanted.
"The hidden dragon does not reveal its ambition; how can a common carp understand its depth?"
