"hey-hey!"
Chen Ye suddenly looked embarrassed, and then quickly shut up.
Shen Qiu didn't play with them, but walked downstairs.
Seeing this, Tang Kexin and others followed.
Soon Shen Qiu came to the gate and opened the closed door again.
Yan Qing and the others greeted again with smiles on their faces.
"Lord City Lord."
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. What can I do for you?"
Shen Qiu replied with a somewhat stiff smile.
Qin Li quickly explained to Shen Qiu.
"Lord City Lord, this is the case. The City of Stars has been attacked recently, and various things have been going on. We need to report many things to you, so we came here to find you."
After listening to their words, Shen Qiu thought to himself.
"Good fellow, he's here to block him right after taking office."
Of course he couldn't say that, so he replied with a smile.
"I see. Why didn't you wake me up earlier, but waited outside?"
"Isn't this because we're afraid of disturbing your rest? We also know that you just came back from another world and you must have been very tired."
Qin Li and others explained with a smile.
Shen Qiu felt a little embarrassed when he heard what they said, so he spoke.
"Everyone, I have just taken office, and there are many things I haven't figured out yet. How about you let me change my clothes, and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion right away, and you can follow the normal procedures?"
“Very good!”
Yan Qing and others immediately nodded in response.
Although there is no way to deal with their affairs immediately, as long as the acting city lord starts working, it will be their turn sooner or later, and there is hope that the issues they are dealing with will be resolved.
"It's settled then, everyone disperse!"
Shen Qiu said with a smile.
"Goodbye, Lord City Lord!"
Yan Qing and others said goodbye and left.
After watching the crowd disperse, Shen Qiu let out a long sigh and returned to the company.
Chen Ye and others immediately gathered around and looked at Shen Qiu curiously.
"Boss, are you going to take up your post at the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Um."
Shen Qiu nodded slightly.
"Boss, as the honorable city lord, how can you not have a full-time driver? I will be your driver."
Chen Ye actively recommended himself.
"You? A driver? Forget it, Qidong, you be my driver."
Shen Qiu still felt that Qi Dong was more reliable and more suitable to be a driver.
At this time, Tang Kexin smiled sweetly, walked forward and said.
"Senior, as the city lord, you definitely need a personal secretary. I can do the job. I can help you with both work and life."
At the end of her speech, Tang Kexin winked at Shen Qiu meaningfully, which was very ambiguous.
Shen Qiu's expression suddenly froze. He really wanted to thank her, but there was no need.
The problem was that he really needed a secretary, and among all the people present, it seemed that only Tang Kexin could do the job, so he coughed and spoke very seriously.
"Just be my secretary normally."
"Oh, you like proper secretaries, no problem."
Tang Kexin replied with a smile.
Shen Qiu also had a helpless look on his face. He decisively gave up discussing this issue with Tang Kexin. The more he explained, the worse it would get.
"Boss, how about I do some odd jobs for you?"
Chen Ye quickly recommended himself again.
"All right."
Shen Qiu did not refuse, he really needed someone he could trust.
Huang Lang also came up at this time and said to Shen Qiu with a smile.
"Shen Qiu, there's still me! Don't forget about me."
"What can you do?"
Shen Qiu looked Huang Lang up and down.
"You look down on me. I can help you manage your finances. The position of Chief Financial Officer of the City of Stars is very suitable for me."
Huang Lang smiled and pointed at his nose, strongly recommending it.
The corner of Shen Qiu's mouth twitched. He now finally understood what it meant that if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. So he refused unhappily.
"You'd better stay in the company honestly."
"Ah! My chief financial officer!"
Huang Lang was heartbroken when he saw Shen Qiu disagreed, as if he had missed out on hundreds of millions.
"Boss, when are we going to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Chen Ye asked excitedly.
"I'll go change my clothes and leave!"
Shen Qiu gave a brief explanation and then walked towards the room upstairs.
Not long after, Shen Qiu changed into a black suit and came down, only to see that Chen Ye and Qi Dong had both changed into protective suits, wrapped tightly all over their bodies, and were also wearing gas masks.
Tang Kexin activated the atomic magic suit to cover her entire body.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
Shen Qiu was slightly stunned and asked.
"Boss, there is a virus outside. This is just in case. You don't want us to become disqualified and be beaten up by you, right?"
Chen Ye quickly explained.
"Yes, Boss, it's better to be safe than sorry. Why don't you change into a new outfit? Or activate the Atomic Magic Suit?"
Qi Dong also echoed.
"No, if I was going to get it, I would have gotten it a long time ago. I don't believe in that."
Shen Qiu waved his hand and replied that he was still very confident in his resistance.
"The city lord is right."
Tang Kexin replied with a smile, and she quickly got into the role of secretary.
"Let's go!"
Shen Qiu then waved his hand and took them away.
…
Not long after, Shen Qiu and his companions rode in an off-road vehicle and headed towards the 1st Ring City Lord's Mansion.
The road leading to Ring Road 1 is very wide, with magnificent administrative buildings along the way. This area has always been very lively.
It is much quieter now, and you can only see soldiers in mechanical armor patrolling and on guard. And from time to time you can see cleaning and disinfection vehicles in operation.
Although these cleaning and disinfection operations may not necessarily be effective, they can at least provide some psychological comfort.
"Boss, we will be at the City Lord's Mansion soon."
At this time Qi Dong said to Shen Qiu.
"good!"
Shen Qiu nodded slightly. To be honest, this was his first time coming to the City Lord's Mansion of the Red Alliance. He was also quite curious about what the City Lord's Mansion looked like.
Not long after, a palace-like building built with luxurious white crystal rock came into view in the distance. The City Lord's Mansion enclosed a large area and built an exclusive courtyard. Various lifelike sacred patterns were carved on the white walls.
Soon the SUV drove to the gate of the Twin City Main Mansion (Red Alliance).
I saw Vice Speaker Yunkong wearing a gorgeous robe, leading a group of officials waiting there.
At this time Qi Dong stopped the car steadily, Chen Ye got out of the car quickly, and walked forward to open the door for Shen Qiu.
After Shen Qiu came down, Vice President Yun Kong immediately smiled, stretched out his hands, shook Shen Qiu's hands warmly and said.
"Welcome, Lord City Lord!"
"Lord Yunkong, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Shen Qiu."
Shen Qiu replied with some discomfort.
"How can that be possible? Your current identity is different, this is a must!"
Vice Speaker Yunkong said this very seriously, and at the same time he was speaking to all the officials present.
"Yes, Lord City Lord!"
The officials present echoed enthusiastically.
"All right."
Shen Qiu let out a breath and replied.
"That's right. Lord City Lord, today is your first day in office. Under normal circumstances, I should prepare a grand inauguration ceremony for you. But you also know the current situation. The City of Stars is in a mess, and the virus is rampant. Everyone is in danger. I don't even dare to bring too many people to welcome you."
Yunkong said apologetically that this welcome ceremony was really shabby.
"It's okay, I don't care about that, let's go in."
Shen Qiu felt that this was better. If some messy ceremony was really carried out, he would feel even more uncomfortable.
"Okay, then I'll take you in and give you a brief introduction."
Yunkong then made a gesture of invitation to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu then followed Yunkong inside. When they stepped through the gate, what came into view was an extremely wide lawn and bright and delicate flowers.
"This is the front yard. For safety reasons and to ensure a wide field of vision, there is not much decoration. The entire front yard covers an area of nearly 500,000 square meters. In an emergency, it can be used as a large airport."
"Yeah, not bad."
Shen Qiu looked around and he could see that there must be various weapons hidden under the courtyard. Even the white walls were actually mixed with a large amount of Black Ring Stone.
Not long after, Yunkong led Shen Qiu to the central white palace building.
The entire building is made of white crystal rock with very beautiful white texture. Special reliefs are carved on the surface walls, and these reliefs are decorated with dazzling gems.
In the central area of the palace, there is a round dome with a dazzling crystal stone embedded in it. Under the sunlight, the crystal stone scatters bright light.
At this time, at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, two rows of ceremonial soldiers saluted Shen Qiu at the same time.
Yunkong smiled and led Shen Qiu along the red carpet to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
Shen Qiu took a glance and saw that the entire front hall was extremely luxurious. The floor was paved with expensive white jade bricks and stones. The intricate golden chandeliers overhead dotted the dome like stars. The surrounding walls were decorated with artistic sculptures full of a sense of history.
All of these sculptures were created by master artists from various other worlds.
"This is the front hall. Some of the furnishings here were moved from the administrative building of Shenxing City. The rest are the most expensive artworks collected by the Red Alliance. Each piece is priceless."
Yunkong introduced Shen Qiu to the place while leading him inside.
"Um!"
Although Shen Qiu didn't quite understand, he could feel it.
"The entire City Lord's Mansion actually has three floors, plus a second special basement. Your office area is on the third floor..."
"Um."
…
A moment later, Yunkong brought Shen Qiu to the third floor and they walked in the spacious corridor.
However, when approaching the office, Shen Qiu saw nearly seven or eight hundred people in different uniforms sitting on both sides of the corridor.
When they saw Shen Qiu and Yun Kong appear, they all stood up and greeted them.
"Lord City Lord!"
"Lord Yunkong."
…
"Hello everyone."
Shen Qiu greeted with a stiff smile.
Yunkong nodded slightly to everyone present without any further greetings. He took Shen Qiu and walked straight inside.
Soon they arrived at the office door.
"This is where you work. Please don't go in yet. I want to talk to the city lord alone."
Yunkong glanced at Chen Ye and others.
"Wait for me outside."
Shen Qiu immediately gave instructions to Chen Ye and the other two.
"good!"
Chen Ye and the other two immediately stopped.
Yunkong then pushed open the door, and Shen Qiu followed him into the office. What came into view was a very spacious office.
In the corner of the room stands a row of red coral wood bookshelves, on which are neatly stacked various documents.
In the center of the office, there is an extra-wide desk that is five meters long. On the desk are piles of documents, and each pile is about one meter high.
In addition, there was an exquisite tray, on which was neatly folded a robe with gold thread edges and intricate star patterns, which looked very luxurious and solemn.
"So many documents? Aren't they all mine?"
Shen Qiu looked at the pile of documents on the desk and asked with a dizzy head.
"It's yours. These all need to be verified and approved by you. You need to process them as soon as possible."
Yunkong said to Shen Qiu with a smile.
"No, how long will it take to process so many? Can't we let the people below share the burden?"
Shen Qiu asked in confusion.
"No, these involve a lot of sensitive decisions and final financial audits, and they all require your signature before they can take effect. Of course, there aren't so many in the past, but isn't it because something happened recently that there are more things to do?"
"All right."
"Oh, there is one more thing I need to tell you. Not only do you have to deal with these documents, you also have to receive people who want to see you and respond to them according to their requests!"
Yunkong continued.
When Shen Qiu heard Yun Kong's words, he was stunned.
"I just checked, there are at least 800 people outside. Let's not talk about these documents for now. If we meet each person, it will take at least 5 minutes. 800 people means 4,000 minutes, which is about 66.6 hours. There are only 24 hours in a day. Even if I don't eat or drink, I can't finish it, right?"
After hearing this, Yunkong said with a smile.
"You don't have to receive all of them at once. Take your time and pick the people who are in a hurry. Also, of course, it's impossible for you to work 24 hours a day without a break. This is not realistic. But I can give you a reference standard. Lord Long Yan usually works 16 hours a day."
"Can I quit?"
Shen Qiu asked with a smirk on his lips.
"No, Lord City Lord, you must get to work now. Our administration is almost paralyzed. Especially the financial approval, you need to review it quickly and allocate the corresponding funds! By the way, I have an expedited document here, please handle it."
Yunkong said this and took out a document and handed it to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu picked up the document and took a look at it, only to find that it was an approval document for quarantine funds. It was filled with densely packed tables and numbers, which made Shen Qiu's eyes dizzy.
He could only turn to the last page to see the total amount declared, and found that the declared money was as high as 30 billion Blue Alliance coins.
"so much?"
Shen Qiu was also slightly surprised when he saw the number above.
"Not much. This is already implemented according to the minimum standards, taking into account the financial difficulties."
Yunkong then explained.
"Wait, how do I see how much money is in the treasury now?"
Shen Qiu suddenly remembered and looked at Yunkong.
"Just call the artificial intelligence Serni."
Yunkong explained patiently.
When Shen Qiu heard Yun Kong's words, he started shouting.
"Selney!"
Artificial intelligence Selni suddenly appeared and she bowed respectfully to Shen Qiu.
"Dear Lord City Lord Shen Qiu, how can I help you?"
"Can I check the treasury of the City of Stars?"
Shen Qiu asked immediately.
"Yes, your authority has been raised to the highest level. You now have the highest military mobilization authority in Star City and the right to issue administrative orders..."
Artificial intelligence Serni listed a lot of Shen Qiu's permissions.
Shen Qiu felt a headache after hearing this and was about to speak to Selni directly.
"Just open the treasury and show it to me."
"You are retrieving the data of the Star City No. 2 Fund Bank..."
In the blink of an eye, Selni retrieved the fund database data and projected it in front of Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu was dumbfounded when he saw the numbers presented and couldn't say a word.
After a few seconds, Shen Qiu recovered and asked in shock.
"Selni, are you sure? Why is the funding zero?"
"Ahem, I'm not mistaken. All the funds of the City of Stars have been transferred to the Red Alliance by Chairman Long Yan of the Council."
Yunkong coughed and replied slightly embarrassedly.
"Damn, this is a bummer. How can I work without money?"
Shen Qiu was completely confused. This was not the way to play.
Vice President Yunkong cleared his throat and said to Shen Qiu.
"Lord City Lord, please be careful with your words. By the way, Lord Long Yan has specifically told me to cooperate with you. I'll pass on a message to you."
"What?"
Shen Qiu looked at Yunkong and asked, just like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
"The Speaker of the Parliament said that if you do a good job, you can leave office."
“What if I can’t do it well?”
"Then keep going."
Vice President Yunkong replied with a smile.
"I thank him."
The smile on Shen Qiu's face was uglier than crying.
"I will convey this to the Lord President of the Parliament. There is also something very important that I need to tell you."
Yunkong replied with a very serious expression.
"What is it?"
Shen Qiu had a very bad feeling for a moment.
"Tomorrow, we will hold a top-level meeting for all members of the Red Alliance region in the City of Stars. Everyone from the highest administrative officials to major corporate groups and public representatives will be present. The event will be broadcast live, and you will be needed to preside over the meeting to discuss and resolve various issues. To put it bluntly, this will be your first performance as the city lord. This debut is very important. It is related to the confidence of the people and officials of the City of Stars in you, and will have a great impact on whether you can carry out your work smoothly in the future."
Yunkong said in a very serious tone.
After Shen Qiu heard Yun Kong's words, he felt even worse. Now the fund bank was empty, there were a lot of things going on, and there was constant unrest outside.
As a result, there is a general meeting tomorrow, and I have to attend and preside over it. I am really going to go crazy. This is not the way to rush people into action.
Shen Qiu said helplessly to Vice Speaker Yun Kong.
"Lord Yunkong, if you are in such a hurry to hold the meeting, can't you postpone it for a few days? At least give me some time to catch my breath."
"No, I know this is difficult for you, but this matter cannot be delayed. You know the current situation in the City of Stars. Everyone is looking forward to the city lord coming out to take charge of the situation. There is no way to delay this."
Yunkong shook his head and replied.
"this… "
"Hey, I know this is a bit embarrassing for you. How about this, you just calm down today and think about your response strategy. I will help you deal with the people outside the door. This is also what I can do for you."
Yunkong said to Shen Qiu helplessly.
"Thank you very much."
Shen Qiu said gratefully.
…
Outside the office, Chen Ye and the other two stood at the door, waiting in a very good mood.
Crunch~
The door opened at this time.
Shen Qiu saw off Vice President Yun Kong with a tense face.
When Chen Ye was about to call Shen Qiu excitedly, he suddenly found that Shen Qiu's face looked very bad. They were also very confused. What happened
At this time Yunkong spoke to the people waiting outside the corridor.
"Everyone follow me!"
"yes."
The people who were waiting anxiously at the scene left one after another.
Shen Qiu glanced at Chen Ye and the other two and said.
"Come in."
Chen Ye and the other two followed him into the office, only to see Shen Qiu walk directly to the desk and sit down, then flip through the documents on the table without saying a word.
Tang Kexin and the other two looked at each other and could only stand aside and wait.
Time passed little by little, and night fell in the blink of an eye. Shen Qiu was still sitting at his desk.
Tang Kexin came over with a dinner and said sweetly.
"Senior, it's time to eat."
"Put it aside."
Shen Qiu replied without looking up. He really was not in the mood to eat.
Tang Kexin asked curiously.
"Senior, has something happened?"
"Yeah, boss, tell us what you have to say, and we'll work out a solution together."
Chen Ye also said.
"It's not that something happened, it's just a bunch of things. It's just a mess. Don't worry about me. Just wait nearby. I'll call you if I need anything."
Shen Qiu raised his head and said to Chen Ye and the others.
"good!"
Tang Kexin and others nodded in response.
Shen Qiu continued to look through the documents for a while, then stopped. He started from the financial aspect and had some understanding of the current situation.
Before the City of Stars was attacked, the Red Alliance's average daily revenue was about 30 billion Blue Alliance coins, and its average daily expenditure was about 20 billion, which still made a lot of profit.
But after the attack, revenue has now dropped sharply to around 8 billion, and expenditure has soared to around 40 billion.
There was a direct problem with income and expenditure, and the income was not enough to cover the expenses.
The most crucial point is that the Red Alliance collapsed, and the Speaker of the Longyan Council had no choice but to transfer all the previous surplus money.
Now he has to find a way to get money, but the question is where to get it
Just when he was having a headache, Shen Qiu suddenly remembered his bank account and immediately raised his bracelet to check.
It turned out that there were 389.7 billion Blue Alliance coins in the account.
Shen Qiu checked and found out that the money was returned after the auction failed. 89.7 billion of it was his own, and the remaining 300 billion Blue Alliance coins belonged to Tianlan Group.
Saierni originally planned to return the money to all bidders, but Tianlan Group specifically returned the auction money to Shen Qiu's account, so there were 389.7 billion Blue Alliance Coins in his account.
As for the 300 billion Blue Alliance Coins, Shen Qiu roughly knew what they meant. In fact, it was a thank-you gift from Heruga, thanking him for his help in Tree Language Sky.
Shen Qiu looked at the money in his account. This was the money that would allow him to attend the conference tomorrow, but for some reason, he didn't feel confident at all.
…
The next morning.
In the spacious T-shaped conference room of the City Lord's Mansion.
One by one, people dressed in gorgeous costumes and various uniforms entered the venue.
These people are senior executives from various departments in the Red Alliance area of the City of Stars, wealthy businessmen, representatives of group companies, and upper-class celebrities.
At a glance, you can see that Longhui Group, Yunwu Group, Shishen Group and Haima Group are all in it.
Everyone present was chatting and communicating with each other.
Among them, the people from the Chamber of Commerce of Longhui Group talked most enthusiastically.
"Lord Long Le, I heard that Shen Qiu will be the city lord this time. Is that true?"
"Yes, it is true."
Long Le sighed and said.
"Oh, this is trouble. Lord Long Yan doesn't care about us anymore and pushed a young man to do it. How are we going to live like this?"
Yunfeng of Yunwu Group said with a sigh.
"Don't you think highly of Shen Qiu?"
"How can we be optimistic? He is a combatant, not a manager. And even a professionally trained manager may not be able to handle the current crisis in Star City."
"I also think this is too much of a joke."
“Now we need a leader.”
"Why."
…
Long Le and others sighed and shook their heads, looking pessimistic about Shen Qiu.
At this time, not far away among the senior executives of Haima Group, Huang Dan, wearing a white shirt, a black tuxedo, and with a big belly, stood with the plump Hai Tian. Next to them stood an old man who was quite old but very dignified.
This old man is none other than Hai Tian’s parents, Hai Wang, the chairman of Haima Group.
At this time, Huang Dan asked Hai Tian with some uncertainty.
"Tiantian, is the new city lord really called Shen Qiu?"
"That's right, the name is Shen Qiu."
"Is it Shen Qiu, the third star envoy of the City of Stars?"
Huang Dan took a deep breath and asked again to confirm. He felt like he was dreaming. His brother became the lord of the City of Stars
"I'm not sure about that, but it's probably correct. After all, the probability of having the same name is too low. I haven't heard of anyone else named Shen Qiu who's more famous."
Hai Tian shook her head and replied.
After hearing what Hai Tian said, Huang Dan said in ecstasy.
"Fuck, Shen Qiu is my brother, my brother has become the city lord!"
At this time, Hai Wang, chairman of Haima Group, immediately made a gesture to Huang Dan to keep quiet and said in a serious expression.
"Shh! Stop talking."
"ah?"
"Huang Dan, I'm telling you, don't say Shen Qiu is your brother anymore. You can't say the word brother anymore."
"Why? I don't quite understand."
"It's true that Shen Qiu was your brother before, but he has climbed too high now. What does it mean to be the Lord of the City of Stars? He is on par with the Chairman of the Oroco Council! There is a saying that goes, living with the king is like living with a tiger! You call him brother, but if he is unhappy, he can kill you with just a flick of his finger."
Haiwang said to Huang Dan.
"Yes, dear, please don't mention the word brother again."
Hai Tian and others spoke to Huang Dan.
Huang Dan felt very suffocated when listening to their words. He really wanted to say that Hai Wang and others were wrong.
But I didn't know how to refute for a moment, and finally I could only say.
"All right."
"But you don't have to worry. After all, your previous relationship is there. As long as you keep a low profile and he takes care of you, you will be successful."
Haiwang said to Huang Dan.
"Yes, Huang Dan, if you become successful, don't forget us."
Hai Tian's brothers and sisters all spoke enthusiastically.
"hehe."
Huang Dan forced out an awkward smile.
…
At this time, on the other side, Cao Kun, wearing a gray work suit and holding a box of purified water, was placing mineral water at each seat.
When he finished the work in his hands, he looked up at Huang Dan who was surrounded by everyone, with a complicated expression on his face.
In fact, when he first entered the council room, he saw Huang Dan at a glance, but he did not go up to say hello.
After all, he is doing so well. Now he is the general manager of a large group and married to the chairman's daughter. His life is very successful.
At this moment, the noisy conference room suddenly became quiet.
"Cao Kun, why are you still in a daze? The city lord is about to enter."
At this time, a beautiful female staff member with freckles on her face pulled Cao Kun towards the meeting room.
"oh!"
Cao Kun came to his senses and hurriedly followed Lin Ke.
But he still turned his head and looked towards the door of the conference room.
The tightly closed main door of the conference room was pushed open, and Shen Qiu walked in with unparalleled imposing manner, wearing a luxurious and solemn city lord robe printed with intricate star patterns.
Vice President Yun Kong followed behind him on his right, and Yan Qing and other senior executives followed closely behind.
"Here he comes, the city lord is here!"
"Lord City Lord!"
…
Everyone in the conference room was excited. People from Longyou Group, Longle, Yunwu Group, Yunfeng and others immediately squeezed over and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Hello everyone!"
Shen Qiu responded with a smile.
"Lord City Lord, you have finally taken office. Our uneasy hearts are now at ease."
"That's right. We are relieved with you here."
…
Long Le and others kept praising him.
"Humph, a bunch of sycophants!"
At this time, sitting in the seat on the right side of the middle aisle, a man wearing glasses and with severe dark circles under his eyes looked at this scene and spoke in a cold voice.
He just heard clearly how badly Long Le and others looked at Shen Qiu.
As a result, now everyone follows the wind and keeps on kneeling and licking the boots.
“Thank you all for your support, I really appreciate it.”
After hearing what Long Le and the others said, Shen Qiu felt a little relieved. He had originally thought that these people would be difficult to talk to, but it seems that he was worrying too much.
“This is what we should do.”
"We will definitely support you unconditionally."
…
Long Le and the others spoke very attentively.
Cao Kun felt even more complicated when he saw Shen Qiu, who was surrounded by people and was the center of everyone's attention.
The gap between people is sometimes like the sea, which cannot be crossed at all.
Shen Qiu became the third star envoy at a young age, and now he is the lord of the City of Stars, becoming a person that only people can look up to.
On the other hand, although I am a clerk in the City of Stars, it is actually no different from doing odd jobs.
Thinking back to when the three of them were in the welfare home, he thought that although he might not be able to surpass the two of them, he would be able to achieve something. However, the result was that he wasted his time in vain.
But even so, Cao Kun still didn't think of asking them for help, he had his own pride.
"Cao Kun? What's wrong with you?"
Lin Ke looked at Cao Kun in confusion.
"nothing?"
"Are you feeling unwell? I feel like you're not in a good state today."
"It's okay, I just feel a little emotional seeing an old friend."
Cao Kun replied with a smile.
