"What?" Fang Yan jumped up from his chair in surprise. This news was too shocking, so shocking that even a calm and composed man like him could not remain calm and composed.
"I just learned this secret from my aunt." Lu Chaoge said calmly. She always looked so cold and indifferent, as if she didn't care much about anything. This was a character shaped by his life as a "spy" in the Jiang family since he was a child, and it would take a while to change. Maybe it will never change. "I was also surprised to hear about this. I tried my best to find the truth of that incident. Everyone I met told me that the research technology of the Rubik's Cube had reached a bottleneck and was temporarily shelved. I didn't expect it to have been overcome. My father passed all the information and technology to my aunt. My aunt has kept this secret."
"What would the Jiang and Liu families think if they knew this news?" Fang Yan asked maliciously.
"That's their business." Lu Chaoge said. "I think they must be in a very unhappy mood."
"What are you going to do? You should know that if the technology is really sound, it will bring about a subversive revolution to the world. The benefits are really huge."
"I know." Lu Chaoge said. "That's why I gave up Longtu Group. I want to build it myself and use the 1 billion as start-up capital."
"You want to start your own energy company?" Fang Yan asked in surprise.
"It's us."
"We?" Fang Yan looked at Lu Chaoge in confusion, then understood instantly and said, "You want to recruit me?"
"You don't have to join, but I'm going to give you what you deserve."
"Because of guilt?"
"To repay a favor."
Fang Yan was silent.
"I'm not a person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes. Life is not easy for you two women right now-----"
"But you will accept it. Right?" Lu Chaoge said, "Because you will not miss any opportunity to change the world."
"------"
"In this world, there is only one and a half person I can trust." Lu Chaoge said, "One is my aunt, and the other half is you. Sorry, we have been in contact for too short a time. I know you have helped me a lot, and I also know you have saved my life. And not just once. This is because I am too sensitive and suspicious, and it has nothing to do with your character."
"That's because you have a character problem."
"I don't deny it." Lu Chaoge nodded. "I will try to change, but I may not be able to change it - I will try my best."
"You just acquired Suzaku Middle School, and now you want to start an energy company. Can you handle it?"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. The energy company has just been established and there are so many things to deal with that it will take a lot of time. Therefore, I will give up my position at Suzaku -"
"I feel that my qualifications are too inexperienced and I may not be able to take over the position left vacant by you. I hope you don't mind too much if there are some tasks that I cannot do well----" Fang Yan said sincerely.
Lu Chaoge looked at Fang Yan deeply and said, "I will appoint you as the leader of the first-grade Chinese language group and nominate you as a school director---"
"I'm not the principal?"
"The principal is Zhang Shaofeng. He has good abilities, but he's too smooth. I'll have a good talk with him before I leave. He will fully support your new teaching practices."
Fang Yan nodded and said, "It seems that you have considered everything. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. I will simply be my ninth grade Chinese teacher. You know better than anyone that my personality is not suitable for being an official. These are not what I pursue."
"No problem." Lu Chaoge accepted Fang Yan's proposal.
"In the company, the two of us are still too weak. We need to introduce a partner with a strong background. At least, we don't have to worry about being knocked down by the Jiang and Liu families when the company is still young and fragile. You know, in this world, success is not just about talent and technology. "
Lu Chaoge nodded and said, "I do have a candidate to recommend."

In the vice-president's office, Lu Chaoge and Qin Yitian sat opposite each other.
After Qin Yitian finished reading the information in his hand, he casually threw it on the coffee table and asked, "Where is Fang Yan?"
"He's going to class." Lu Chaoge said. "I think it's more appropriate for us to talk alone."
"Why choose me?" Qin Yitian asked.
"I think you are the most suitable person."
Qin Yitian smiled and said, "Principal Lu trusts me very much."
"So, what's your opinion?" Lu Chaoge asked.
"I have to say that the Rubik's Cube technology has great market potential. If this technology is really as magical as described in the information, you can make money with your eyes closed."
"If our family got this Rubik's Cube, we would never look for other people to cooperate with us. Of course, you chose to cooperate with us, and you definitely didn't want us to share the cost or make money together with you - are you worried that someone will take advantage of you? Or, is there someone who has already done this? You just need some protection?"
"You are very smart." Lu Chaoge did not deny it.
"This is fair, I have no reason to refuse." Qin Yitian said.
She stood up, walked to Lu Chaoge's desk, took out a pencil from the pen holder, and wrote a row of beautiful numbers on the white paper on the desk. "Call this number and someone will see you."
She threw her pencil on the table and said, "I have to go to class. I don't want to skip Mr. Fang's class."
After saying that, he opened the office door and walked out.
Lu Chaoge looked at her graceful and agile figure, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Beautiful, smart, and with a strong background, a girl like this must be blessed by God, right

despair!
despair!
despair!
With every step the man took, his clogs tapped on the smooth marble floor of the airport, making a crisp, pleasant clicking sound.
Wearing a long leather cape, a white Taoist robe, and wooden clogs, this unique attire made it clear at a glance that he was from that Oriental country.
Cold and thin.
It's like a flamingo in the desert, basking in the scorching sun and eating sand sculptures. It's extraordinary to see.
It's easy to ignore his appearance because his temperament is so outstanding.
Behind the man, followed two beautiful children.
The girl was gentle and lively, with a friendly smile on her face. The boy was completely different from the girl, with a serious expression, and it seemed as if he had a grudge against everyone.
Behind them, there were a few strange people following them. People who didn't know the situation would think they were some kind of art performance group from Japan.
Everyone they met would point fingers at them, and some even took out their phones to take pictures. However, when they adjusted their phones to the right angle, they found that the clicking sound was already very far away from them.
This made them confused. They didn't realize they were walking so fast. Why couldn't they catch up
However, no one wanted to turn around and chase after him. Because they always felt that something was blocking their steps and their determination.
"Here we go again." Qianye Xun stood outside the airport gate and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Chiba Haowu snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with Chiba Xun's performance.
Chiba Xun smiled and reached out to touch his brother's hair, but Chiba Haowu dodged her hand.
"I know you don't want to come. But since father has made this decision, then he must be doing it for your own good. Don't you think so?"
After a pause, the girl said happily, "Besides, I like China very much. It is a very mysterious country. Before I came here last time, I never thought that I would meet so many outstanding people. Qin Yitian----how could there be such an outstanding girl? As a girl myself, I would also be impressed by her aura."
"This is a hypocritical country. Everyone is very hypocritical. They are full of hostility towards us-----" Chiba Yoshitake finally couldn't help but get angry. "I really can't understand why we came back again? Is it just to witness my shame again?"
despair!
The sound of clogs suddenly stopped.
The sky was sunny and he tilted his head back, letting the light shine on his face and body. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and his whole body gave people a lazy and comfortable feeling.
What was even stranger was that his pale face was almost eerily transparent, with even the tiny blood vessels clearly visible.
"No matter where you go, you must deeply love the land under your feet." The man said softly, but the words reached the ears of everyone behind him. "Our strength comes from the sun, from the land, and from ourselves. You reject the sun, and the sun rejects you. You don't love the land, and the land doesn't love you. How can you defeat those enemies who have the advantage of time, place and people by yourself? How can you defeat those opponents who are illuminated by the sun and supported by the land?"
"If your heart is warm and peaceful, then every time you swing your sword, it will also be warm and peaceful. If you love everything around you, every time you swing your sword, the wind will help you, the rain will help you, the sun and the leaves will help you - a true swordsman needs to merge with the sword as one. And the sword body that merges with the sword must also merge with nature as one. Only then will you have spirit, and the sword you swing will have spirit."
"What is the way of the sword? Everything is the way, and the way encompasses everything." The man turned to look at Qianye Haowu, then at his son, and said, "This sun, rain, land, and every person you meet are all the way of the sword."
Chiba Hyobu, the inheritor and promoter of Beichen Ittoryu, is the best swordsman in the East who is known as the 'Light of Beichen'. (To be continued)
