Liu Sandao had not paid attention to this matter from beginning to end.
Apart from studying the Fortune Manual, all his energy was focused on "The Fu Shui Ode."
The fortune fruit system had been running stably for several days, and the feedback analysis from the collected data was quite positive.
Scattered immortals and minor deities from all regions were enthusiastically accepting orders.
However, occasionally, there were still a few orders that went unclaimed.
If an order was not accepted for three hours, the Fortune Manual would vibrate more intensely, meaning the Fortune God had to go there in person!
Otherwise, failing to distribute fortune fruit in a timely manner would be considered dereliction of duty.
Liu Sandao's Fortune Manual vibrated, and he opened it to see a name displayed:
Cao Dehui, Location: Sandongqiao Restaurant.
After signaling Fu Ruhai, the two of them went to Sandongqiao Restaurant together.
The restaurant looked small from the outside but was exceptionally spacious on the second floor.
It was one of the most famous restaurants in Shangdong, and when Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai arrived, it was dinnertime.
The restaurant was very busy.
Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai walked directly to a private room, where they were unseen by anyone.
"Come, come, Teacher Cao, you must put in some extra effort this time!"
The speaker was surprisingly Hu Tianhan.
How did they end up together?
After three cups of wine, the floodgates of their conversation opened!
It turned out that Cao Dehui was also Hu Tianhan's graduate thesis advisor. All expenses incurred by Cao Dehui at this restaurant were charged to Hu Tianhan.
Hu Tianhan never studied, so he hired someone to ghostwrite his thesis.
However, Cao Dehui had read it and found it utterly inadequate.
How could this stump Hu Tianhan?
He arranged this banquet specifically for Cao Dehui to help find or write a thesis for his defense.
After drinking a large glass of wine, Cao Dehui revealed a secret to him!
Hu Tianhan was very adept at navigating social situations, slipping a bank card into Cao Dehui's hand with clasped hands in a gesture of reverence.
Cao Dehui accepted it with a smile!
Liu Sandao was a bit puzzled. Could the Fortune Manual be mistaken? It seemed he was here just to witness their sordid affairs.
At this moment, nothing was out of the ordinary.
However, this observation allowed Liu Sandao to understand why Cao Dehui was a four-star person.
Cao Dehui, now drunk, saw that no one else was present and whispered to Hu Tianhan:
"There are two good papers. Pick whichever you like." As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed it to Hu Tianhan.
Liu Sandao looked closely and saw two papers:
"Research on Charitable Economics" and "Pseudo-Economic Research on Charity."
"Aren't these our papers?"
Fu Ruhai understood what was happening.
Hu Tianhan pointed to the latter and said, "This one it is!"
Cao Dehui said, "This is my private draft. You must change the title! And also change the beginning!"
Hu Tianhan nodded with satisfaction, then refilled Cao Dehui's wine.
People who have been drinking feel they can still drink, and Cao Dehui was no exception.
They ordered seven or eight dishes, but the dishes on the plates were hardly touched.
On the table, there were already two or three wine bottles.
It seemed these two fellows could hold their liquor.
But as Cao Dehui raised his cup, he said:
"Younger brother Hu, this is the last cup. After this, we should move on to other projects!"
Hu Tianhan naturally understood his meaning and nodded, raising his full cup of wine and smiling obsequiously:
"Of course, of course."
However, as Cao Dehui drank, contempt and disgust filled Hu Tianhan's eyes.
This lecherous old man thought that after drinking so much today, it would end here.
He didn't expect him to still be thinking about that matter. Hu Tianhan could only agree for now.
As for the place he wanted to go, Hu Tianhan had already found out about it but hadn't made a reservation.
Cao Dehui drained the cup.
At this moment, he seemed to have completed a task and was ready to move on to the next battlefield.
An incredulous smile appeared on his face.
However, just as he put down his cup and sat down, his head involuntarily drooped.
He felt a sharp pain in his stomach and clutched his abdomen with his right hand.
Hu Tianhan, who had just stood up to pay the bill and was about to ask for instructions, looked up and saw Cao Dehui's head hanging down.
"Teacher Cao, what's wrong? Teacher Cao... Someone!" Su Dan Novel Network.
At this moment, Cao Dehui was in too much pain to speak.
Hu Tianhan became nervous; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
On Liu Sandao's Fortune Manual, Cao Dehui's name glowed even more intensely.
He understood that it was time to distribute the fortune fruit.
At this moment, Cao Dehui felt the pain intensifying, constantly moaning "Ouch, ouch."
The restaurant staff quickly called the manager, and at the same time, Hu Tianhan arranged for a car to take Cao Dehui to the nearest hospital.
"Liu Sandao, hurry up and distribute the fortune fruit!"
Fu Ruhai urged.
Liu Sandao couldn't understand why Cao Dehui had handed over his thesis to Hu Tianhan just now.
With papers of the same title, how could he guarantee that Hu Tianhan's would be different from his own?
Why should fortune fruit be distributed to such a selfish person?
Liu Sandao truly did not understand what the will of heaven was.
The delay was a bit long, which prolonged Cao Dehui's suffering.
He was in so much pain that his eyes were tightly shut, he was sweating profusely, and he occasionally vomited some foul matter.
Liu Sandao had not moved, but Fu Ruhai pulled him and they flew up.
In this ethereal state, mortals could not see them.
Fu Ruhai understood that Liu Sandao was angry.
But whoever's fortune fruit it was, it was theirs. This was the decree of heaven, and it had to be distributed normally.
"Quickly, distribute the fortune fruit!"
Liu Sandao's hesitant hand finally grasped the fortune fruit.
Cao Dehui's fortune fruit was truly extraordinary.
If it were distributed using the old methods, his fortune fruit would have been enormous.
To ensure the fairness of the fortune fruit system, it had been specially crafted by the Five Grains Great God, so all fortune fruits were of uniform specification.
This way, if a person's own fortune was large, their number of fortune fruits would be relatively more.
Therefore, Liu Sandao easily dragged out seven or eight of Cao Dehui's fortune fruits with a flick of his wrist.
"This guy has quite a lot of fortune fruit!"
Liu Sandao said resentfully.
"Quickly, hurry up and distribute it!"
Fu Ruhai urged.
Liu Sandao had no choice but to throw it down. He actually wanted to wait a little longer.
"You tell me, why is it like this? The reason he didn't pass ours is because he had two papers identical to ours?"
Liu Sandao asked Fu Ruhai.
Fu Ruhai had no idea and could only shake his head.
"Could it be that our money wasn't enough?"
Liu Sandao speculated.
This possibility could not be ruled out. Who would have thought that the esteemed Qingkong University would have such a prevailing custom?
"If you ask me, we shouldn't have distributed it to him just now! It would have been better if he had suffered to death!"
Liu Sandao's words shocked Fu Ruhai greatly.
In his impression, Liu Sandao would not have reacted so strongly.
But Liu Sandao didn't feel that way. Had he changed?
