Not long after, Aunt Gu and Xue Chuchu's mother Hua Fengmei got off work.
Hua Fengmei brought a bunch of dishes, including pork ribs, corn, sea bass, fruits and so on.
She bought these ingredients separately in the morning and prepared to cook at Sister Gu's house to thank her for introducing her to work at Changqingye Group.
The two have been sisters for many years, so it is not appropriate to talk about money or gifts. This is the only way to express gratitude.
Xue Yuantong played games for most of the day and her eyes were tired, so she got down from the throne and went out to find her mother.
Aunt Gu and Hua Fengmei were busy in the kitchen, preparing New Year's goods and could not take care of Xue Yuantong for the time being.
So Xue Yuantong ran to the door again.
She looked at Jiang Ning and stretched her body. As she grew taller, her vision became wider and she felt refreshed.
In one semester, she grew three centimeters.
What kind of speed is this
At this rate, it will grow 6 centimeters a year!
After graduating from high school in three years, she will grow 18 cm taller, reaching 168 cm, 3 cm taller than Xue Chuchu.
Thinking of this, Xue Yuantong felt that her future was bright. When she became a giant, Jiang Ning would no longer be able to look down on her!
Xue Yuantong deliberately picked a fight with Jiang Ning. She put her hands behind her back and walked to Jiang Ning's side. She first looked up at him and then said arrogantly:
"Not bad, Jiang Ning. You're not that tall."
Jiang Ning has grown less than 20 centimeters this semester, and now his net height is 182 cm. Among his peers in Anhui Province, he is definitely of excellent height.
Even in later generations where children are well-nourished and grow rapidly in height, he is still not considered short.
"It's okay." Jiang Ning said. He was a little confused as to why Xue Yuantong would mention this.
After Xue Yuantong finished speaking, she looked at Xue Chuchu again and said:
"Chu Chu, you are still quite tall."
Xue Chuchu was very modest and spoke nicely: "No way, I'd rather be shorter."
When Xue Yuantong heard her words, he said earnestly: "You are fine now, and I will be as tall as you in the future."
"Yeah, Tongtong, you can do it."
"Hmph, I took the test this morning and my current figure is 153, but you didn't see it. Let me test it again and show you."
Xue Yuantong boasted that after learning that she had grown taller, she wanted to announce it to the world to let everyone know that she had unlimited potential.
"Jiang Ning, wait for me."
After saying this, Xue Yuantong ran into the yard and took out the mat and measuring tape for measuring height.
Passing by the kitchen, she smelled a delicious aroma: her mother was frying dumplings and making sugar cakes.
Every Chinese New Year, her family would fry dumplings, which became a custom.
It's dumplings, not meatballs!
Fried dumplings are made by mixing flour, shredded radish, bean sprouts, and eggs into dumplings, which are then fried in an earthen pot.
Her mother's cooking skills are excellent. The fillings she makes are delicious, and she also controls the temperature when frying very well. If you eat the dumplings right out of the pan, they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
It can also be cooked in soup or even stir-fried with vegetables. It has many uses.
Xue Yuantong smelled the fragrance from the kitchen and refused with great determination. She just wanted to prove to Xue Chuchu that she grew three centimeters taller in one semester!
After getting Xue Chuchu's admiration, she enjoyed the delicious fried dumplings.
In ancient times, Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, and now Yuan Tong shocked the whole audience with applause!
Xue Yuantong hurried to the door. This time, she brought a full set of height-measuring equipment.
She glanced at Jiang Ning who was playing with his phone. At such a critical moment, he was still playing with his phone!
"Jiang Ning, are you ready? I'm about to start."
"Okay." Jiang Ning put away his phone. Someone was chatting in the class group just now, and someone @ him, so he went to check.
Xue Yuantong took off her cotton shoes and stepped onto the thin mat. She took a deep breath and held her head high, as if the bright moon was in her arms. She felt as if her head was touching the sky and her feet were pushing against the ground. She was growing taller and taller along with the sky.
Xue Yuantong held his breath, and moved towards Jiang Ning with resentment, urging him to hurry up.
It's very uncomfortable to hold your breath!
Jiang Ning drew a mark: "OK."
Xue Yuantong hurriedly left the wall: "Chu Chu, it's time to witness a miracle!"
Then she looked at the mark on the wall and was shocked:
"Jiang Ning, did you measure it wrong? Why is it a little shorter than the mark this morning?"
"I just measured it by rubbing the top of your head, how could I be wrong?" Jiang Ning said.
"No!" Xue Yuantong still didn't believe it.
She asked Xue Chuchu to measure it for her again, and it was still the same marked position.
Jiang Ning took out a measuring tape and measured:
"151.5CM, yeah, one and a half centimeters shorter than this morning."
Xue Yuantong's face suddenly became depressed, and he said aggrievedly:
"How could this happen? It was clearly 153 in the morning."
She couldn't figure it out, as if she had suffered a severe blow and looked like she had lost all desire to live.
Xue Chuchu looked at Xue Yuantong, who was a good student, and explained:
"When you get up in the morning, the bones and joints of your body are relaxed, especially the spaces between the vertebrae of your spine are widened. After a day of activities during the day, the influence of gravity will narrow the spaces between the vertebrae of your spine, which means you have a sinking effect. That's why you're shorter at night than in the morning."
Chuchu's words made Xue Yuantong's heart even more painful. It turned out that her 153 was fake, everything was fake...
It was just because of the test in the morning. The real situation was that she was only 151.5.
Xue Yuantong was tired.
Seeing this, Xue Chuchu went over to comfort Xue Yuantong, while Jiang Ning continued to look at his phone.
The person who @ed him in the group just now was the hairstylist Meng Gui. He not only @ed Jiang Ning, but also @ed most of the boys in the city, inviting them to go ice skating together.
When talking about this topic, the life committee member Hu Jun stopped posting pictures of various animals and jumped out to make an appointment with Meng Gui.
Squad leader Huang Zhongfei was very happy watching this happy scene. He felt that his advice was useful and Hu Jun finally returned to normal.
Guo Kunnan replied: "Meng Gui, I wanted to visit you during the summer vacation, but you were not in town and went to Yuzhou!"
When Meng Gui read the message, he couldn't help feeling a slight sense of superiority. His family was from the countryside and lived in the same town as Guo Kunnan.
But his parents were among the first group of people to go to the coastal areas to work. They were pragmatic and capable. Two years ago, they took out 300,000 yuan and asked relatives to raise some more money to buy him a three-bedroom, one-living-room house in Yuzhou city. From then on, he became a resident of Yuzhou city.
After the family bought a house, his parents had no other skills and still went out to work. Meng Gui lived alone in the house in Yuzhou, and he was very free.
Moreover, he usually has a lot of pocket money. He often hears his parents say that they have accomplished their mission. Rural families usually buy a house and a car for their children, and the older generation considers that they have accomplished their mission.
For Meng Gui, his life is very happy now. He plays games and watches anime every day.
The only thing he lacks is a girlfriend. Although Meng Gui is young, he is very precocious when it comes to relationships. He is a pure-hearted high school student who longs to be with one person for the rest of his life.
So Meng Gui wanted to find an honest girl, go to college together, and get married after graduation.
Although Meng Gui competed with Shan Kaiquan for Jiang Yanan, he was very convinced of Guo Kunnan's character and did not hate him just because Guo Kunnan was close to Shan Kaiquan.
"Brother Nan, I will go back on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. I will ride my electric bike to come and play with you, and we will go to the fields to make a fire!" Making a fire in the middle of winter is a very pleasant thing.
Wang Longlong: "If you set fire in the wild, you will be sentenced to life imprisonment."
"Shut the fuck up." Meng Gui replied.
Wang Longlong: "Brother Gui, I also want to go ice skating, can you take me with you?"
He had previously approached Ma Shicheng, but Ma Shicheng had recently settled down in an Internet cafe and was unwilling to go.
Wang Longlong reads classics at home every day, writes his winter vacation diary to his class teacher Shan Qingrong, and expresses some of his class opinions to his class teacher. After a long time, he plans to come out to relax his mind and write a piece of writing. Working behind closed doors is not enough to write an article that will convince the class teacher.
"Okay, who else?" Meng Gui shouted in the group. He hoped that he could call two girls so that he could show off his skating skills on the ice rink.
Although Meng Gui is in love with Jiang Yanan, he will not reject other honest girls.
Chen Qian interrupted: "Aren't you guys studying during the winter break?"
Ma Shicheng suddenly jumped out and said, "What are you studying for during the winter vacation? The winter vacation is for everyone to play games!"
Yang Sheng: "You look so beautiful when you're last."
Ma Shicheng was furious. His scars were exposed. He swore that Yang Sheng would be his enemy for life!
…
The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, afternoon.
Jiang Ning came to Yuzhou Building and walked into the office where Shao Shuangshuang was.
Shao Shuangshuang knew that Jiang Ning would come, so she invited Jiang Ning to sit on the sofa.
"I have already donated some money to the Yuzhou Power Supply Bureau," she said.
Jiang Ning nodded. He had used lightning to train his body before, which inevitably consumed some electricity. Now he gave it to the Yuzhou Power Supply Bureau, which was nearly ten thousand times the return.
Now when Jiang Ning trains, he goes directly to the factory of Changqingye Group, where the voltage is very sufficient.
"I have already contacted the donation you mentioned last time."
When a company becomes bigger, it is inevitable to do charity, which can not only improve its reputation but also increase its social status. Shao Shuangshuang also has this intention.
"It is expected that twenty primary schools will be built in the mountainous areas." She pushed the plan document to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded: "Establishing a primary school is secondary. The main thing is to establish a charity organization and ensure the treatment of the volunteer teachers."
Hope Primary Schools are often built in some mountainous areas, but often there are no teachers willing to teach there, resulting in them eventually being abandoned.
Because the salary for volunteer teachers is too low, perhaps at the beginning, many young teachers will go to mountain villages to teach out of passion, but most of them need to eat.
A passion cannot last long and will always be taught a lesson by the cruelty of life. Jiang Ning is willing to believe that there are many teachers with high moral standards who are willing to stay even if the treatment is poor.
Jiang Ning still wants to increase the salary. With high salaries, more teachers will stay.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Shao Shuangshuang pushed another document over: "This is the list of materials that I collected that Lin Zhongsheng Group intercepted."
Jiang Ning picked it up and glanced at it. It recorded the prices of the materials, the reasons for being intercepted, and the most likely place where the materials were now, in different categories.
"According to their investigation, some of the treasures were presented to the old man of the Lin family, who is also the current helmsman of the Lin Zhongsheng Group." Shao Shuangshuang said in a normal tone.
Perhaps in the past she would have thought that Lin Zhongsheng Group was a behemoth, but now it seems to be nothing more than that.
Lin Zhongsheng Group is involved in many industries, including real estate, national chain brand stores, and manufacturing, but their core technology is not outstanding and lacks competitiveness, so they are only trying to show off their power in the country for the time being and are not making any progress.
Unlike Changqing Liquid, which defeated all major beauty brands in foreign countries and made all its profits in US dollars and euros, it is inevitable that Shao Shuangshuang does not think highly of the Lin Zhongsheng Group.
Jiang Ning looked at the items on the list, which were all necessary for refining puppets. He added:
"Have you read the network signal research document I sent you yesterday?"
Shao Shuangshuang said: "Several teams abroad have taken over the project and are expected to give results within three days."
"The speed is good." Jiang Ning praised.
Shao Shuangshuang didn't say anything. Their Changqing Liquid was selling like hot cakes abroad. This kind of miraculous product would be worth hundreds of billions in the future and would be well-known. In the past, several research institutes of famous international universities had sent invitations to them.
At that time, Shao Shuangshuang rejected all the offers. Now, she rarely took out the research project. Those top talents flocked to it in order to get on the train of Evergreen Liquid. Several research institutes took over the research projects at the same time and calculated the results urgently.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Jiang Ning said.
Shao Shuangshuang stood up and sent Jiang Ning out of the company, and then watched him walk into the elevator.
"If nothing unexpected happens, he must have gone to the Lin family." Shao Shuangshuang thought to herself.
She returned to the office with a smile. With Jiang Ning's methods, those materials would definitely not escape his hands.
…
After Jiang Ning left the company, he did not go directly to Ancheng, but came to Huqi Mountain.
The herbs planted earlier have matured.
He turned his palm and two white pills emerged.
This is the 'Pei Yuan Dan' made from those herbs, which is very helpful for cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training.
Under the nourishment of the Spirit Gathering Array, the efficacy of this Peiyuan Pill has almost caught up with the general quality of the immortal cultivation world.
"It's time to break through to the fifth level of Qi training."
He activated the formation, gathering spiritual energy towards this side.
Then, Jiang Ning swallowed the pill in one gulp. The huge medicinal power spread and expanded in his meridians. At the same time, external spiritual energy poured in.
The two forces complemented each other, and Jiang Ning used this to break through to the fifth level of Qi training.
Jiang Ning spread out his hands, only to see a black embroidery needle suspended in his palm, spinning slowly.
This is the 'Shenyuan Shuttle', an extremely advanced exploration technique, and it is a method of exploration specifically for space.
This is a secret technique that can only be mastered by those who possess the spell control skills of the Nascent Soul stage, practice the 'Golden Mysterious Divine Division Technique', and whose spiritual awareness has at least reached the 'Ran Deng' realm.
"Then let me see what mystery there is in that area."
Jiang Ning summoned the flying boat and drove it straight into the sky.
At an altitude of three thousand meters, with the speed of the spirit boat, it would only take a dozen seconds.
Jiang Ning was in the clouds, staring at that area closely. Although he did not use the "technique of observing qi", he was already very clear about that place.
Jiang Ning knew that it was impossible for his physical body to enter that area, or in other words, whether it was a living thing or a dead thing, they could only look at each other through this "door".
However, now he has the space-related secret technique 'Shenyuan Shuttle', which can do some exploration.
"Let's experiment first," Jiang Ning thought.
Even if the Shenyuan Shuttle is ineffective, it will not have much impact on him.
Jiang Ning attached a wisp of spiritual consciousness to the Shenyuan Shuttle.
He made a series of spells and arranged a three-dimensional formation on the spirit boat:
"Small teleportation traction array."
This is a spell that matches the Shenyuan Shuttle, which can instantly recall the Shenyuan Shuttle.
Some powerful cultivators can find others based on a trace of spiritual awareness. Even if this investigation is fruitless, Jiang Ning does not want to leave any loopholes.
"The mysterious divine hiding." Jiang Ning cast another spell to hide the body of the Divine Yuan Shuttle.
Jiang Ning's hearing was covered with the 'embroidery needle'. He pointed his finger, and the tail end of the Shenyuan Shuttle trembled, slowly piercing into the space and disappearing into it.
Instantly, a feeling of rejection came between heaven and earth, and the Shenyuan Shuttle seemed to be stuck in the mud.
This is the law of that world, which rejects foreign objects.
Jiang Ning forced the Shenyuan Shuttle to move. He calculated that the Shenyuan Shuttle could only last for three minutes, otherwise it would collapse.
A hundred seconds later, the Shenyuan Shuttle passed through a very long distance, and a bizarre noise came from the other end, and there were some human voices in the ears.
Jiang Ning extracted several key words:
"Originium mine, family marriage..."
Originium
It is not the immortal cultivation civilization, but the "Source Power Civilization" that was once hostile to the immortal cultivation world.
Although he could hear these sounds, Jiang Ning had no way to get there except with the Shenyuan Shuttle.
I can only watch but not use it, it’s useless…
When the three minutes were up, Jiang Ning activated the small teleportation array and retrieved the Shenyuan Shuttle. Strangely, when the embroidery needle returned, a piece of colorful fragment was attached.
"This is, a fragment of the law? And it's not an ordinary fragment of the law." Jiang Ning looked surprised.
The fragments of laws can help people understand the laws of heaven and earth. In the world of immortal cultivation, they will be treasures that will attract Nascent Soul cultivators to fight over.
If there were enough fragments of the laws, even if resources were scarce in this world, Jiang Ning would still be able to easily rebuild to the Nascent Soul stage.
The five-colored law fragments are fragments with higher sequences among the law fragments, and it is rumored that they can conceal the secrets of heaven.
"Will I be able to obtain fragments of laws by traveling between the two worlds?"
With this thought in mind, Jiang Ning once again fired a Divine Yuan Shuttle and entered that world.
But this time, the Shenyuan Shuttle did not bring out the fragments of the law.
Jiang Ning conducted experiments many times in a row, controlling the Shenyuan Shuttle to perform various strange operations, torturing his consciousness to the point of exhaustion, but still failed to bring out the fragments of the law.
Jiang Ning held his forehead and said, "Was it because I was too lucky the first time?"
"Could it be that everyone who travels between the two worlds can only obtain one fragment of the law?"
"If that's the case, maybe we can try to let other people's consciousness penetrate into that world."
"Bring back the fragments of the law for me."
Jiang Ning thought about the possibilities, but the steps were too difficult and he needed to improve them step by step.
At this moment, the cell phone vibrated. He waved his hand and the phone floated in front of him. There was still a signal at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, where are you? Are you coming home for dinner?"
"If you don't come back, you'll only be able to eat leftovers!" Xue Yuantong threatened.
Jiang Ning replied: "I'll be back soon, wait for me."
He no longer cared about this area, and the flying boat turned around and flew towards the river dam.
