    
    Yi Yan was sitting behind her large desk in a colorful linen dress, reading magazines carefully. She passed them to Qin Guan after he took a seat on the couch. 
    They were all in foreign languages. VOGUE was in English, and ELLE and COSMOPOLITAN were in French.
    Qin Guan looked up at Yin, waiting for an explanation.
    Yin Yan massaged her eyebrows. "You know why ELLE chose me as the Chief Editor of its Asian version. I’m French-Chinese after all, and I have a systematic knowledge of the fashion industry. I graduated from a Fashion Editor School in France."
    "The Asian version is separate from the original magazine, and I’m the director. The headquarters have acknowledged my work of taking China as the foothold of conquering Asia though."
    "In the past two years, ELLE Asia has brought in 40% of the total income, creating more investing opportunities for ELLE in China."
    "On the other side, our competitors have realized there’s money to be made and they want to share it with us. VOGUE is a fashion magazine in the US, and COSMOPOLITAN is ELLE’s main rival in France. They are all among the top five fashion magazines in the world."
    "Here is some good news for you, Qin Guan. VOGUE is about to enter the domestic market, followed by COSMOPOLITAN. VOGUE has reached an agreement with our headquarters. We’ll work together to drive COSMOPOLITAN out of the market. It's funny! They did this only because we were rivals."
    "I am strongly against this agreement. I don’t think we should cooperate with our rivals. The headquarters thought it would be okay to lend you to VOGUE for several issues though."
    "So congratulations, Qin Guan! You have another contract with a top fashion magazine. Even if it’s only the Asian version. Believe me, those American guys are much more shrewd than the French. "
   Feeling awkward, Qin Guan said, "Sister, we are friends. Please stop beating around the bush. You’re worried about me, aren’t you? You’re afraid they’ll take me away with a higher salary."
   "Yes," Yin Yan replied. "That’s why I’m asking what your plan is."
    Qin Guan leaned back against the couch, smiling happily. The flowers on the tea table seemed dull compared to his smile. 
    "Sister Yin, I’m not a green hand anymore. I won't say no to a job for anybody. That’s the reality of the modelling circle. With enough popularity, a model can appear in all five top magazines at the same time, not just two. I suggest you change your future plans. Stop competing with Rayli. The Japanese are short-sighted. A model cannot help everyone prevail in this situation."
    "When the domestic fashion magazines come out, there will be fierce competition. All flowers will bloom at once, and you will be having a really hard time. Don't worry though, I’ll never say no to you." 
    Qin Guan raised his eyebrows at Yin, casting a soft glance at her. Yin threw a small box fastened with a ribbon at his head and waved him away. "Go! Go! So much for this business! I don't want to hear your advice! This is a gift from f*cking VOGUE! Take it and go to hell!" 
    Qin Guan caught the box, blinking at her. He retreated from the office quickly before she threw the scissors as well.
    He opened the gift on his way to the parking lot. It must be an interesting guy who asks an opponent to hand over a gift. Yin Yan thinks she is facing a formidable enemy. Qin Guan was curious about the man.
    When he got to the parking lot, he saw that there was a BOSS tie clip in the box. BOSS was considered the most rigorous fashion brand in Germany. He was so shocked by the gift that he posed like a pheasant, standing on one foot and shouting, "YES!"
    A little girl standing nearby pulled at her mother's sleeve and pointed at Qin Guan. "Mum, is that big boy silly? Why is he posing like that?" 
    Her mother locked the car and turned around, only to see Qin Guan standing still in the parking lot. He was standing on one foot, his other foot curled up. His arms were both raised up above his head. 
    He looked like a thief sneaking around in the most exaggerated, cartoonish manner. Putting on a black mask would have worked better.
    Holding her daughter's hand, the mother stared at Qin Guan's strange pose silently.
    "I don't know, darling. We’d better not disturb him though. He might be a performance artist. I’ve heard that there are many artists like that in foreign countries."
    "Really? So he just poses in an empty space? He could be pushed down among a crowd. He is so handsome!" 
    They both expressed their admiration of the artist. The capital is the center of the fashion industry. That’s why we get to watch such an elegant performance!
    They stared at Qin Guan and talked for a short while. Unable to bear the pain on his waist any longer, Qin Guan put his arms down.
    The woman and the girl walked up to him with shining eyes. A small hand was stretched out towards him with a 10-yuan bill in it.
    "Here you go, big brother. There’s nobody left here. Have a rest while you wait for an audience!" The girl gave him the tip and waved at him happily. Then she left with her mother. 


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Matapos kong kumain ay pinalayas na niya ako sa condo unit niya. Napaka-rude talaga ng lalaking 'yon! Pero pinakain naman niya ako nang masarap kaya kahit paano nabawasan ang inis ko sa kanya. Pero rude parin siya!

"We broke up," anunsyo ko habang naglalagay ng nail polish.

Nakauwi na rin ako dito sa bahay at nag-aayos ng kuko kasama ang Crazy Trios.

"ANO?! BAKIT?!" tanong ng 'Crazy Trios'.

"Ginamit lang niya ako. Che! Kainis siya!"

Yes, I remember it now. Nakipag-break siya sa'kin kagabi. That gangster! Ang kapal niya na makipag-break dapat ako ang nakipag-break ah! Inunahan niya pa ako! Dapat pala binalikan ko siya kanina nang maalala ko kung ano ang nangyari kagabi. Mabuti nalang pala saturday ngayon. Akala ko mababawasan na ang perfect attendance ko!

"MAY NANGYARI SA INYO KAGABI?!!" sabay sabay na tanong nila.

"Crazy trios, sa tingin nyo ba hahayaan kong may mangyari? No way am I getting myself into that kind of situation!"

"Bading! Linawin mo kasing mabuti," sabi ni Maggie at nagbasa ng Cosmopolitan. "At bakit ka ba ingles ng ingles?!"

"Kinailangan lang niya ng girlfriend para may maipakilala siya sa mga magulang niya. Pagkatapos kong magpakilala sa parents niya, nag-break na kami." Tinitigan ko ang nails ko. Pink! "As for your second question. Oo nga no? Eh kasi naman, nahawa na ako sa gangster na 'yon! English ng english! Nakakahawa!"

"THAT'S IT?!" sigaw nilang tatlo.

"Yes, that's it," sagot ko.



"What a b*stard!" sabi ni China.

"Sammy, ano na ang plano mo ngayon?" tanong ni Michie.

Nag-smirk ako. "Don't worry, sooner or later pagbabayarin ko rin siya sa ginawa niya. I'll teach that gangster a lesson he will never forget!" Mouhahaha!

"Oooohhhh~~ Scary Sammy," sabi ni China. Gumamit siya ng red nail polish.

Gusto ko sana ng red sa nails ko kaso baka punahin ni Audrey kaya soft colors lang ang ginagamit ko. Haay. Ipinilig ko ang ulo ko, gustong lumabas ng little monster sa loob ko. Kagagawan 'to ni TOP.

"It fascinates me," Maggie said while staring at me. Creepy girl!

"What does?" nakataas ang isang kilay na tanong ko.

"How you handle things so calmly. How you get even with people. You really are crazy, you know that?"

"Hahaha! You have no idea," I smirked.

"Kapag dumating ang araw na napagdesiyunan mo nang iwan ang 'Good Girl' act mo, sumali ka nalang sa grupo namin. Magiging 'Crazy...' uhh... ano kaya? 'Crazy Fours'?" sabi ni China.

"No way! 'Crazy Trios'. Kayong tatlo lang 'yun dahil kayo ang may pinakamalala na idea sa larong 'Truth or Dare'!"

"Speaking of Truth or Dare, pupunta kami sa mall mamaya, wanna come? Maglalaro ulit kami ng Truth or Dare!" excited na sabi ni China.

Pero allergic na ako sa larong 'yan. Baka masali na naman ako. Mabuti nga, ngayon tapos na ang deal namin ni TOP. Pero ako, hindi pa ako tapos sa kanya. Pinagmukha niya akong kakatawanan kagabi.



"Don't worry, hindi ka naman namin isasali sa laro namin eh," sabi ni Maggie.

"Baka gantihan mo pa kami," bulong ni China.

"Fine! Ayoko rin naman maiwan mag-isa dito sa bahay no."

***

"Let's play truth or dare, sino ang una?" China. Inilagay niya ang isa niyang daliri sa chin at nag-isip.

"ME!! ME!! PICK ME!!" sabi ni Michie habang nakataas ang isang kamay.

Crazy Girl! Dito pa talaga kami sa foodcourt tumambay. Napaka-open. Ang daming nakakakita sa'min dito. Sinipsip ko nalang ang pineapple juice gamit ang straw. Papanoorin ko nalang sila. Ayoko na ulit madamay pa. Baka malasin pa ako, mabuti nga natapos na yung sa amin ni TOP eh. Wala na akong problema, pero paano ako makakaganti don?

"Hmm. Sino kaya ang una?" tanong ni China, still thinking.

"ME!! CHINA!! ME!! ME!! ME FIRST!!" winawagayway na ngayon ni Michie ang dalawa niyang kamay.

Dahil sa ingay ni Michie, nakakuha tuloy kami ng atensyon ng maraming tao. Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko, ayokong makita nila ako. Hindi ako kasali sa kabaliwan nila. Sinusumpa ko, kapag na-youtube na naman kami, itatakwil ko sila!

"Fine, Michie. Truth or Dare?" tanong ni China.

"Tinatanong pa ba 'yan?" bulong ni Maggie.

"DARE!! DARE!! DARE!!" excited na sabi ni Michie habang pumapalakpak.

"Okay, I dare you to..." umikot ang tingin ni China sa paligid. "OH MY GOD!! IT'S HIM!!"

"SINO?!" tanong naming tatlo at sinundan ang tinitignan ni China.

Si Kenneth? Nakita namin siya na may kasamang dalawang lalaki at nagtatawanan. Si Kenneth ang EX ni China. Naghiwalay sila three months ago dahil na-weirdohan si Kenneth kay China. Naglaro kasi ang 'Crazy Trios' sa mall noon at kumanta si China ng 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' sa tapat ng Jollibee then humingi siya ng abuloy para sa namatay niyang teddy bear na si Twinkle. Of course part iyon ng dare, pero nakita siya ni Kenneth at nakipag-break sa kanya. Akala yata ni Kenneth abnormal ang girlriend niya. Hindi naman masyadong nasaktan si China pero nalaman niya na may iba pa palang girlfriend si Kenneth. Si Hershey na girlfriend din ni TOP na ex-boyfriend ko naman.

Nag-evil smile si China at tumingin kay Michie. "I dare you to kick him 'where it hurts the most' and then..." Lumapit si China kay Michie at bumulong.

Nag-nod si Michie na halatang excited at tumakbo palapit kay Kenneth. Tumigil si Kenneth at ang mga kaibigan niya sa tapat ni Michie. Sinipa siya ni Michie sa 'where it hurts the most' then sumigaw sya ng;

"You killed Twinkle! That's for Twinkle!!" then pointed at him accusingly. "He killed Twinkle!!! He killed Twinkle!!"

HOLY.MOLY!! Tumigil ang mga tao sa paligid at nanuod sa eksena ni Michie.

"Go rest in peace now Twinkle! Iginanti na kita at pinatay ang kanyang... maliit na kaibigan para sa'yo!" Pft! Maliit?

Tumakbo papunta sa amin si Michie nang may matagumpay na ngiti sa labi. Tumayo naman sina Maggie at China at bigla silang tumakbo. Tumayo na rin ako at hinabol sila. Iwan daw ba ako?!

"Hey you!!!" may sumigaw na lalaki pagkatapos ay may biglang humila sa braso ko.

"AAH!" sigaw ko. Huhu! Nahuli ako. Ang bagal ko kasi!

"Where do you think you're going?" tanong ng lalaki at pagkatapos ay hinila niya ako papunta kina Kenneth at sa isa pang guy.

Did I mention na may dirty temper din ang mga ito? Actually, isang dare din ang dahilan kung bakit naging sina China at Kenneth. Stupid Dares! Bakit ba ako palagi ang napapahamak sa mga dares nila? Nasaan ang katarungan?!

"Nakatakas yung tatlo, ito lang ang natira. Ano'ng gagawin natin?" tanong ni guy no.1

"She's hot, let's just play with her for a while," suhestyon ni guy no.2

"Oh God, that little b*tch! OW!" reklamo ni Kenneth habang iniinda ang sakit sa kanyang family jewel. Pft! Maliit hahaha!

Ano daw? Play? Play with me?! NOOO! Kailangan kong makaalis dito. Sinipa ko sa paa si Guy no.1. Nabitawan naman niya ako kaya tumakbo ako. Kaso, naabutan at nahawakan ako ni Guy no.2. Plan A; Mission Failed! Plan B.

"AAHHHHHH!!! HELP MEEEE THEY'RE TRYING TO KIDNAP MEEEE!!!" sigaw ko.

"HOY ANO'NG GINAGAWA NYO SA KANYA?!" may sumita na guard.

"May guard tumakbo na tayo!!" sabi ni Guy no. 2

"Hindi pa tayo tapos!!" sabi sa akin ni Kenneth pagkatapos ay tumakbo kasama ang dalawa niyang kaibigan. Pero dahil sa nangyari sa kanya ay hindi siya makatakbo nang maayos. Mukha siyang bibe. Hahaha!

Plan B: Mission Accomplished Ngayong nakatakas na ako mula sa tatlong iyon, hahanapin ko naman ang 'Crazy Trios' at pagbabayarin sila sa pag-iwan nila sa akin.

"Ikaw?"

Nagulat ako nang may humarang na matangkad, maputi, makisig at gwapong lalaki sa'kin. Nasilaw ako sa aura niyang kumikinang. Para siyang napapaligiran ng mga rosas.

"A-ano'ng ginagawa mo dito?" tanong ko.

Waah! Ano'ng ginagawa ni Red dito? Kasama kaya niya si TOP? Nag-kibit balikat siya at lumapit sa akin. Nakakasilaw ang ka-gwapuhan nya! Hindi pala rosas ang mga nakita ko kanina, buhok pala niyang kulay pula.

Gusto ko talaga ang mukha ni Red. Kaso ayaw ko ng ugali niya. Hindi ko parin nakakalimutan na dinala niya ako kay TOP noon. Hindi na siya naawa sa akin. Huhu.

"May narinig akong sumigaw kaya naman napunta ako dito. Sino ba yung mga kasama mo kanina?" tanong nya.

"Ahh. Wala, hindi ko nga kilala mga 'yon eh. Bigla nalang akong hinawakan."

"Nagsisinungaling ka ba? Alam ba ni TOP na may kasama kang ibang lalaki?" nakangisi niyang tanong.

"Psh! Hwag mo ngang banggitin ang pangalan ng kaibigan mo. Wala na kami nun. Badtrip 'yon."

"Ganoon ba?" mahinahon na sabi niya. Parang hindi naman siya nagulat.

"Oo, ganon na nga," sabi ko at umalis na.

Bigla naman niya akong hinabol at hinila niya ang braso ko. Bakit ba ang daming humihila sa akin ngayon? Napatingin ako sa braso niya. Ang puti niya.

"Teka!" sabi niya.

"Bakit?"

"Pwede ka bang maabala sandali? Kailangan ko lang kasi ng tulong mo," nakangiting sabi niya.

Nakakasilaw ang ngiti niya! Ang gwapo niya talaga! Bakit ba ganito kagwapo ang lalaking ito? Hindi ko magawang tumanggi. Nang-aakit ang ngiti niya. Pati mga mata niya, inaakit ako. Tsk!

"O-Okay," bulong ko. Ang hina ko!!!

Pumunta kami sa Bear Cuddler at pinapili niya ako ng ireregalo sa flavor of the week niya. Playboy. Sinasabi ko na nga ba. Yang mga ganyang titig at ngiti, maraming babae 'yan. Di ko naman sila masisisi. Kahit ako, nagawa niyang pasamahin dito. Nawala ang self control ko kanina!

"Siguro ito nalang," sabi ko at kinuha ang isang napakalaking bear na may ribbon. "Ano ba ang paboritong kulay ng girlfriend mo?"

"Alam mo bang ikaw ang una niya?" biglang tanong ni Red.

"Huh? May sinasabi ka?" Nakatingin parin ako sa bear.

Ang cute pero mas cute yata yung maliit na version. Hmm... Yung isa nalang kaya?

"Ikaw ang unang naging girlfriend ni TOP. Ikaw ang pinili niya dahil sinampal mo siya noon. Tanda mo?" natatawang sabi niya at malayo ang tingin.

"Alam mo, kayo talagang mga lalaki, loko-loko! Ang dami kayang girlfriend non! Si Hershey pati na rin yung ka-schoolmate ko girlfriend niya," sabi ko habang naka-simangot.

Bigla syang tumawa nang malakas.

"Hindi niya girlfriend si Hershey. Malakas lang talaga mangarap ang babaeng 'yon. Imposible na maging sila. And I doubt na girlfriend niya rin ang sinasabi mong schoolmate mo. Hindi mahilig sa babae si TOP," natatawa niyang sabi.

"Huh? Ibig sabihin chismis lang 'yun?!" tanong ko. Kung ganon nagsisinungaling sa'kin si Audrey? "Teka bakit mo alam? Malay mo? May lalaki bang ayaw sa mga babae lalo na kung magaganda sila?"

"Meron, si TOP," mabilis na sagot niya.

"Baka naman kasi bading siya..." bulong ko.

Nagulat siya saglit saka tumawa. "Hindi! May galit lang talaga siya sa mga babae. Alam mo ba 'yon?"

"Huh?! Woman hater siya?"

"Parang ganon na nga. Masyado kasing komplikado kung iku-kwento ko pa sa'yo. Mahabang istorya."

"Alam mo yung curiosity ko, sinindihan mo tapos iiwan mo nalang sa ere. Ikwento mo na!" pangungulit ko.

Napahawak siya sa batok niya.

"Dahil sa isang batang babae na nakilala niya ten years ago. Ang alam ko sobrang nasaktan siya dahil sa taong iyon."

"Ten years ago pa pala eh. Bakit di pa nya mapatawad hanggang ngayon?" nagtatakang tanong ko.

"Dahil di sya ganon kadaling kalimutan, Samantha," tinitigan ako ni Red sa mga mata.

Eh. Napaiwas ako ng tingin. Masyado siyang gwapo, kailangan mag-ingat! Napatingin ako sa nasa paligid namin. Ang daming tao bigla, puro babae. Nakatingin sa direksyon namin ni Red. Err.

"Ito na yung bear." Inabot ko sa kanya yung bear na maliit.

Lumabas na ako ng shop nang di hinihintay ang sagot niya. Phew! Ang dami niyang stalkers. May mga hawak pa silang camera, ayokong mapasama sa picture. Baka malasin na naman ako.

Simple lang naman ang gusto ni Samantha sa buhay, ang maka-graduate na may highest honors at talunin ang karibal niya sa academics na si Audrey. 

Pero nagulo ang buhay niya nang makilala niya si TOP, isang notorious na gang leader sa lugar nila. At dahil sa isang pagkakamali na dapat niyang pag-bayaran, masasangkot siya sa maraming gulo. 

Makabalik pa kaya sa dati niyang buhay si Samantha o habangbuhay na siyang masasama sa gulo na dala ni TOP?

The Chinese government had been recognized by the international community for 60 years, but when the Republic was first established, it was isolated by the Western society for a long time because of sensitive issues like ideology.
Adding to the fact that China had a weak national strength at that time, the keynote of their diplomacy was mostly based on forbearance and magnanimity. When there was a visit from the so-called 'international friends,' whether it was official or with a separate connection, the Chinese government would welcome and entertain them enthusiastically, with all expenses paid.
Later on, as the country's strength gradually restored, and as China regained its dominant position in Asia, China slowly began to take stringent measures and uncompromising stand in diplomacy. When foreign guests visited, they started to entertain per international practice, an 'economic inspection team' where Zhang Lisheng had mingled should have long paid for their own expenses. 
However, it was different this time.
After the 'winter riots,' under the pressure of 'Atlantis,' both countries with the strongest and only harmless foreign worlds, the United States of America and the Republic of China, quickly entered a 'honeymoon period.' As a result, when the Chinese economic and trade inspection team visited the US, the White House had unexpectedly and strangely paid all their necessities and food in the name of 'national security spending.'
In this way, according to the Chinese habit of giving as good as the one obtained, the return visit expenses of the US entrepreneurs were naturally born by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This was only a trivial matter, but if one looked closely at the delicate position of the exchanges between these two major powers, along with the impact of the relationship between nations on Earth brought by the aliens, this gave much food for thought.
Of course, it was nice to have somebody pay for their own expenses. Still, in this way, it was impossible for Zhang Lisheng—who joined the delegation at the last moment, and had LS company under his name which was an unremarkable company among other well-known multinational companies such as Mobil Energy, Microsoft, and Google Network—to stay in the best presidential suite in the Beijing Hotel according to his usual habit. Not to mention, he came here all alone. Being able to stay in a 70-square-meter superior suite in Block A was already a deliberate consideration arranged by the personnel Ministry of Foreign Affairs for showing respect to Guo Caiying's accompaniment. 
It was already 2 in the morning when they received the room card for their accommodation. Now that they were back in China, of course it was impossible for Guo Caiying, who naturally feel restraint as a central ministry cadre in front of her colleagues, to accompany Zhang Lisheng back to the room at this time. She could only bid goodbye reluctantly with him in the hotel lobby and exhorted the young man, both deliberately and unintentionally, to learn Mandarin as soon as possible before she left.
Zhang Lisheng shrugged and agreed to it, before bringing his few items of luggage to his own room, under the enthusiastic guidance of the server. After having a hot bath, he sat cross-legged on the big bed, turned on the television, and switched the channel to CCTV news that was broadcasting the midnight news, before imitating the news anchor's accent.
This was a straightforward trick. Seven to eight years ago, when the young man was still studying in middle school in Qu County Western Sichuan province, one of his female schoolmates, whose family had made a fortune by selling mountain goods, had entered a high school in the city by pulling some strings and had studied arts ever since had managed to turn her local dialect into a strange but fluent Sichuan Mandarin within a short period.
Compared to a mountain village girl, Zhang Lisheng, who was already talented in linguistic and was now only a half step away from becoming a true god, of course, had an ability and wisdom that were ten thousand times stronger, but even so, it was hard to alter his local dialect. After a whole night of hard work and switching different channels continuously, he stared at the news and parroted them for six to seven hours. Although he was starting to be fluent now, his accent was still very localized.
At this time, the weakness of the magical Eternal Comprehension Spell that could not alter a language or text that had already been mastered was fully exposed to him. However, as the saying would go, 'beggars can't be choosers.' Such an accent was already enough for this conceited and confident young man.
"I actually managed to learn Mandarin in one night! Senior Sister will definitely be shocked when she sees me next time," Zhang Lisheng turned off the television at dawn and opened the curtains to look at the misty city as he muttered to himself.
Unfortunately, in the next two days, he did not get a chance to show off at all. As Guo Caiying had already said, she did not have time to meet the young man at all. Instead, many senior Chinese officials came to see him, and of course, it was all together with all the returning entrepreneurs.
Although the highest-ranking officials he met had already reached the stage of Vice Premier State Council, who was even a member of the standing committee in the political bureau that had the highest power combination in China, Zhang Lisheng did not show any particular kind of goodwill in public.
On the contrary, this Vice Premier in charge of the economy was very interested in this young man who spoke in awkward Mandarin and who appeared to be extremely young in the delegation. He took the initiative to ask questions and talked with Zhang Lisheng many times instead.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. After all welcome meetings had ended, Guo Caiying called Zhang Lisheng and told him that it would take another two days for her to meet him since she had too many unfinished works that piled up because of her business trip in New York. "I've been working overtime in the past two days until ten o'clock in the evening. My colleagues in the office have already complained because of this. I'm sure they're gonna rebel now if I don't get off work on time today. I really didn't expect to have so many documents piling up, waiting for me to process in this less than two weeks trip. I usually find written reports and organizing tasks as very relaxing, but everything is in such havoc now that there are so many things to do. I'm sorry, Junior Brother, you need to go roam around in Beijing yourself for the next two days again."
"It's alright, Senior Sister. I just didn't think that you'd be so serious in work, to the point where other people would actually oppose to you working overtime," It was noontime. Zhang Lisheng, who was strolling around in the streets of Beijing, while spotting a rare blue sky and white clouds, said jokingly.
"Do you think that it's still the 'Red Revolution' era in the 1960s and 1970s where one could randomly go pin labels on others based on their working attitude? Who doesn't pay attention to individual right now, I ask you? Even old qualified investigators would not back down on this."
Zhang Lisheng did not understand that the so-called 'old qualified investigators' actually referred to government officials who were close to retiring in the Chinese government and did not have any executive positions at the administrative level. Most of these people were in the central ministries, but they only had empty ranks despite working hard for their entire lifetime. In actual fact, they were still at the bottom of the organization with no future but was smooth and slick when it came to experience. Naturally, they gave no heed to other people's authority over themselves.
However, the young man did not ask and merely said with a smile, "In that case, your work seems to be much harder than I imagined. I won't bother you then, see you!"
"See you, Junior Brother. Oh yeah, you can go to Gui Street to have a look if you're bored at night. It's not far from the Beijing Hotel and is just in front of Dongzhimen. If you take a taxi, it'll only take you… Ah, forget it, you don't care about money anyway. Yeah, it's impressive there, but remember the same old reminder: don't get into a conflict with other people."
"Senior Sister, am I a barbarian who has feathers on my head with my bottom half of body wrapped in leaves in your eyes?"
"Of course not. You're much more sly, cruel, and aggressive than those people you speak of. See you on the day after tomorrow, Junior Brother," The girl hung up after saying so.
"Sly, cruel, and aggressive… Well, I would have long become ashes if I weren't so," The young man was stunned before muttering and putting his phone away. At once, he fell into a daze and looked around him.
In front of him was both old and young city filled with blue brick buildings and skyscrapers, spacious roads, and narrow alleys.
The population of this cosmopolitan city like that of New York and was similarly open too. However, maybe because it was the fact that the redheaded white-skinned Atlanteans could still be seen everywhere on the streets; and that Zhang Lisheng had not encountered any single demonstrators despite strolling an entire afternoon yesterday, this city gave Zhang Lisheng a more orderly feeling. Such feeling inexplicably affected his mood to become slightly depressed.
"Young man, you're looking for Tiananmen, right? You only have to turn left and walk till you reach a junction, then go to the bus stop to take a bus numbered 67. After three stops, get down from that bus and walk for several hundred meters straight, and you'll arrive there," An old man who was wearing a tender, green sportswear while carrying a sword on his back walked past the young man and stopped to say kindly when he saw the young man looking around.
"Sir, I'm not going to Tiananmen, but thank you," Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and burst out into a chuckle before replying with gratitude.
Actually, he had nothing to do at this time, so his brain somehow wandered on the incident of how the Gate of Dao's disciples wanting to acquire the Yingzhou paradise when they were on the way to Beijing. After pondering a while, he asked, "Do you know any well-known temple or Taoist abbey around here?"
"Well, the biggest and most famous temple in the entire Beijing City would be none other than the White Cloud Temple Gompa in the suburbs. The other small Four Olds has been changed into private houses already," Something seemed to have reminded the old man, causing him to muse with slight emotions.
"Thank you," After thanking him again, the young man strolled forward and came to the bus station. He waved to stop a taxi to aid him from going to the suburbs, so he could visit the temple for a stroll. He thought that he would just view it as a mere visit if he could not come across any Gate of Dao's disciples.
However, it was lunchtime now, so no vehicle stopped for him despite waiting for over ten minutes.
"What the hell? I can't even stop a taxi? Is this even an international metropolis…" Frustrated, Zhang Lisheng secretly groaned, but at this moment, a taxi suddenly flashed its signal and stopped beside him.
The young man breathed a relief happily. When he was about to walk into the back of the car by walking past the front door, a sturdy young man behind him rushed forward to open the door and jump in before stretching a neck out and said, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Follow that car! Xu Liang they all must have reached the hotel already! I'm starving, hurry up…"
"Sir, this is the taxi I stopped." The young man was stunned. Patting the young man's extended shoulder, he said.
"Watch where you're touching! Why the hell are you touching me?" When the young man heard Zhang Lisheng's characteristic Sichuan Mandarin, he glanced up at him and said with a curled lips, "You wanna say that it's your taxi? Well, in that case, call it and see if it will answer you or not?!"
When Zhang Lisheng saw how unreasonable this young man was, he recalled the colored people in New York's ghetto and just spoke with a smile, "Idiots are really everywhere…"
Without warning, he reached out a hand to grab the young man's nape.
When his spine clenched, the young man immediately felt weak as he slumped down like all of his bones had melted. At the same time, he was in so much pain that he felt like he was going to die.
The next instant, he felt a considerable force pulling his neck out. Sensing that he would be thrown out of the window before being thrown on the ground till his head cracked open bloodily, fear, terror, and anger rose in his heart, but he could not even struggle.


A young man from the Miaowei Tribe brought up by his strict father, suddenly turned into Rank 1 Wizard on the day he was orphaned. He then obtained the ability to control giant worms. 
Soon after, he found his mother who was in a faraway foreign land by accident. From a small mountain village, he managed to jump into the amazing arena that was a global metropolis.
Thus far, we have a young man who inherited the legacy of mastering ancient demons from an ancient country. 
From Western civilization to other worlds, a fascinating saga is born.

Due to being hoodwinked repetitively by Zhang Zian, Fina was not interested in his promise. She was lazily teaching the kittens to dance without putting in much effort. 
Unlike the languages of humans, the language of cats didn’t possess abundant expressions that enabled Fina to make the kittens understand how to dance by only uttering a few meows. She had to demonstrate the movements by dancing in front of the kittens so that they could remember and comprehend. 
Though the movements were exactly the same, they were interpreted by Fina and the kittens differently. The kittens clumsily tried to imitate every movement made by Fina, but frequently, their left legs tripped on their right legs, and they would stumble onto the ground like limbless fur balls. Their devastated looks made people feel bad for them and want to hold them up. As for Fina, one could tell how its dancing was by looking at the admiration in Snowy Lionet’s eyes. It was so sexy and seductive! 
The dance movements of the kittens originated from the dancing of South Korean and Japanese girl groups, especially the South Korean girl groups, whose choreography always emphasized the waist and legs of the performers. With her slim and slender physique, Fina’s limbs were long among cats, making Snowy Lionet inferior. The way cats walked were charming and fascinating. That was how the reputation of a "catwalk" was born. If anyone had seen Fina’s dancing, a new word—"catdance" —may be born. 
Zhang Zian had never set up a tent or grill before, and he succeeded by reading the manuals and restarting several times. After igniting the fuel, he boiled the water, added the tea leaves he had brought from China, and brought it over to Old Time Tea. Old Time Tea was lying comfortably in a camping chair, narrowing its eyes to overlook a corner of the city of Los Angeles. From this small mound, the tall buildings could be seen vaguely. 
"Zian, Los Angeles is so big!" The tone of Old Time Tea revealed a rarely disclosed surprise. "Does that large group of buildings in the distance belong to Los Angeles? This is much bigger than Binhai City, and it is also much more prosperous!"
"Of course, Grandpa Tea," laughed Zhang Zian, pouring tea for it. "Binhai is only a medium-sized city in China; it can’t compete with Los Angeles or other cosmopolitan cities. Just wait for nighttime. I heard that the night view of Los Angeles is also very beautiful. It is a city without darkness."
Old Time Tea nodded full of expectation, "Then this journey will be worthwhile."
Richard fluttered its wings, flying around to tease the kittens. Though it was not flying high, it was as annoying as flies were. Zhang Zian warned it not to land on the barbecue grill. If it insisted, at least it should pluck out its own feathers first, otherwise it might not be delicious.
Galaxy was exploring the small mound. Due to the year-round warm climate in Los Angeles, even in the winter, there was very little rain and snow, so the bush on the mounds still appeared green and luxurious.
Zhang Zian was never good at using the oven to grill meat at home, not to mention this was his first time using a barbecue grill in a field. As he hurried and scurried, his face was smeared by the smoke the grill emitted, and several pieces of chicken had already been burnt. When it was time to eat, Fina was complaining and fussy as usual, while Zhang Zian, as always, was immune to her nagging. 
In the afternoon, the gentle sunshine made everyone drowsy. Zhang Zian lined up the tarpaulins and camping chairs that he brought. Everyone covered themselves in blankets and took a nap under the sun. He also put on a pair of blindfolding goggles to help him sleep even more soundly.
Richard’s fluttering wings and quacking awakened him. When he removed his goggles, he found that it was already sunset. He must had slept for two or three hours.
It seemed that Fina had completed the task of training the kittens to dance, since the kittens were playing hide-and-seek with Galaxy. Seeing that he had been awaken, Old Time Tea stretched out a paw and pointed to another hill far away, "Zian, what is that place?"
There were several English letters erected on that small hill and they couldn’t be seen clearly during the day. Because of the angle of the sun light, the letters were sparkling right now.
"It's the famous Hollywood sign, the center of the world's film industry," explained Zhang Zian. "Many of the movies you watch are actually produced there."
"Oh!" said Old Time Tea with surprise, "So, it is a place full of Masters?"
"No, most of the performances of the Kung Fu Masters in the movies are made using stunts. If the actors really knew any small tricks of Kung Fu, that would be enough for them to boast for a lifetime." Zhang Zian quietly whispered to Old Time Tea, "But there are lot of interesting attractions that are worth visiting. I will take you there in a few days."
Seeing that Galaxy and the kittens were running further away, Zhang Zian worried that they might encounter danger, because snakes might still be active even in the warm winter of Los Angeles. He rushed over to take care of them, preventing them from running into the dense bushes. 
The sun sets earlier in winter. After dinner, in almost the blink of an eye, night had fallen. 
"Grandpa Tea, look over there!" Zhang Zian pointed into the distance.
When the evening lights were lit, Los Angeles was breathtakingly beautiful. It was a fantastic world composed of luminous spots. There were several flowing rivers of light. Some were broader, some were narrower, some were brighter, and some were darker. All of them were meandering through different terrains, but in the end, all the rivers converged into the ocean of lights. The colorful neon lights were like numerous round pebbles immersed in and scoured by the rivers of lights. A certain area of the ocean of lights was brilliantly illuminated as if it was daytime there. That was downtown Los Angeles, where even an inch of land came at a premium. It seemed that over the ocean of lights, a layer of luminous mist shrouded it, so bright that it could even eclipse the stars.
Old Time Tea, Snowy Lionet, Galaxy, and even Fina were all attracted by this, but not everyone was. Because of the night blindness of parrots, Richard couldn’t see anything clearly, and it was quacking annoyedly. 
"Shining things ..."
Fina was fascinated, and her grumpiness towards Zhang Zian during the day had vanished. Her pupils wide-open, the reflective films of her eyes gathered the glows and then re-emitted them twice as bright as before. Her pupils were so astonishingly green right now that even opals or tigers’ eyes were dwarfed. 
Looking at Fina from its behind, her silhouette was almost identical to that of the statue of the Cat Goddess thrown in the corner of the pet shop.
Gazing at Fina’s profile face affectionately, Snowy Lionet forgot itself.
"Galaxy, look at what’s over our heads," Zhang Zian gently urged it.
Galaxy raised its small face and exclaimed, "Meow! So many stars!"
Ever since they had enjoyed tea and admired flowers on the pet shop's roof, Zhang Zian had been thinking of taking Galaxy to stargaze in the wilderness, but such a plan had been delayed for several reasons. Although Binhai City was not a big city, they lived in the downtown area, where the light pollution was still very serious, and the air quality in winter was not very good.
The dazzling Milky Way drooped near the horizon, as if a lightsaber was obliquely cutting through the hill erected with the Hollywood landmark.
Their location was not the best place for stargazing, but the advantage was that no one was bothering them. Except in the direction of downtown Los Angeles, they could see in the other three directions of the night sky clearly. 
Galaxy was running around excitedly at the top of the hill. Between the interior of the pet shop and the green field behind the shop, it had never experienced anything as spacious as this hill! Today, it could have a wonderful time here!
The rays illuminating from Old Time Tea’s brass eyes were as bright as those of Fina, but they were more stable and mature, unlike Fina’s eyes that were breathtakingly beautiful. Gazing at the rivers of lights across Los Angeles, it slowly recited a poem: "Stars rise over fields that spread far and wide. The river that is perpetually flowing reflects the moon and it shines. I've been roaming without purpose — what does that say of me? I am no more than a gull with no fixed abode on earth, prowling in the sky."
Because of night blindness, Richard couldn’t see anything and felt it was disadvantaged. It couldn’t help but shout, "Quack! What gull?! I’m a parrot!"
Its words made everybody smile, and diluted the melancholy implication contained in the poem.
Zhang Zian looked up and suddenly his eyes brightened. He pointed to the sky and yelled, "Look! It’s a meteor!"
Everyone looked up, and saw that a bright meteor with its long tail was streaking across the sky from west to east, and right now it was just over their heads. They turned their heads alongside the meteor's trajectory and were amazed by it. Even Richard was pretending to be able to see it.
"Make a wish! Hurry!" said Zhang Zian urgently.
Everyone stared at the fleeting meteor silently. Near the City of Angels, everyone made their own wishes.

"Ha ha ha, this is really too wonderful, too wonderful! Boy, that guy is right, you are not only an idiot, but also a huge idiot! Ha ha ha ha ha!"



Behind a bush, the beggar dropped his bag and began carefully unwrapping a plastic bag he was carrying. He picked up the five boxes and gently opened the first one.



The head of the baby girl, exposed.



Little beggar bit by bit stripped off the deliberately hollowed out lunch box, the inside of the baby girl was filled with a lot of cotton, should not be too cold. She opened her eyes, and when she saw the little beggar again, she purred with joy.



Tearing open the lunch box, the beggar quickly took out a piece of cloth from the handbag, the baby girl's body tightly wrapped up. At first, leaving the warmth of the cotton, the baby girl appeared to be a little cold, little body trembling. But at last the little beggar was fast enough to cover her before her face turned blue, and bring her warmth again.



"How interesting! I wish you had thought of such an idea. People do not pay too much attention to the things in front of them, but all will go to check those hidden places. But other than that, if someone is a little more flexible in their thinking, they go through what's in front of them, and after making sure that nothing is wrong, they stop looking at other places that, at first glance, can't be hidden. You once again let me see the disgrace of other people's wrong judgment eyes, too good, too good! Ha ha ha!"



The little beggar silently picked up the baby girl, put the macaroni into the bag, and stepped away from the bushes.



The snow was deep on the road, and after being rolled over by the passing carriages, it became as slippery as ice. The little beggar moved his feet carefully, and his small body was hidden by other pedestrians and carriages.



What was his destination after leaving sennagh?



"The stag empire... Where to go? The wind blows in the sand... Where is it?"



As they walked along the street, the little beggar, with his head bowed, stopped in front of a coachman driving a hay wagon.



The coachman, who was sitting by the side of his cart, smoking a cigarette, paused for a moment when a ragged little beggar appeared.



"The stag empire? Ah, you mean the empire that stands in the southeast desert? The capital wind blowing sand city... That would be difficult."



The beggar did not leave, he continued to stand in front of the driver, and asked again, "how can I get there?"



"You want to 'walk' to the windy city? Poof... Ha ha... Ha ha ha ha ha!"



For some reason the coachman laughed loudly, as if he had heard something very interesting. He laughed wildly, covered his stomach, and even started coughing from the smoke.



"You little idiot, you want to walk by? Do you have any idea how far the stag empire is from here? If you can get a ticket to covey's magic train, that's fine. Otherwise, the desert known as the 'sea of death' would be enough to kill a little idiot like you a thousand times over! Walk past? No two or three years, you want to walk there? Ha ha ha ha ha!"



The cabby laughed again, clutching his stomach. In this climate of ice and snow, the ability to listen to other people's idiocy is the most effective form of entertainment and recreation. He puffed out the smoke in his lungs and ducked his head again, ready to continue laughing at the little beggar...



At the moment, there is no sign of anyone.



In the crowd, the little beggar walked in silence with his head down.



"You want to go to the stag empire, boy? Why is that? !"



Blood pupil unpredictably open, staring at the small beggar.



The little beggar didn't answer. He just looked at the baby girl in his arms. Accept his line of sight, the little baby girl also "wu ah wu ah" joy call up, the spirit seems to be good.



"....................."



"Cheep, I realize that communicating with you is a real struggle. Come on! I don't care what you want. Now you can think of things in your 'idiot' head, will make me very angry."



"....................."



"Cheep, no fun."



Angry, dark out closed his eyes, no longer speak.



Ten minutes later...



"Very strange, you boy."



After the brief silence, dark out seems unwilling to open the blood pupil again, looking at the small beggar.



"I say, I just called you an idiot, and you didn't respond at all? And it wasn't just the soldiers or the coachman who called you an idiot, and I didn't even feel a little emotion in you?"



The little beggar glanced at him, his cold eyes covered with frost.



"I say, are you not angry at all?"



"............ Why am I angry?"



Getting such an answer, dark extinction seems to suddenly come interested, said: "this is not obvious? An idiot is an insult. They are calling you names, belittling you, belittling you for no reason at all. Although I can understand that people can tolerate such insults in order to achieve their goals. But a person's self-esteem is certainly not allowed to call you an idiot all day long. Besides, you're not an idiot."



"............ So?"



"So? They are insulting your dignity and degrading your character. Are you not angry at all?"



"Dignity will buy no bread."



A simple response from the little beggar made the blood pupil that still wanted to go on to open wide in an instant. It seemed to hear an answer that it should not have heard, but soon the astonished blood pupils began to shrink into a sinister smile.



"I see. Dignity will buy no bread. Not for sulla. I forgot that you don't take your dignity and your character seriously as long as you live. Gutter rats never need respect, do they?"



".................."



"Well, I've got a good idea. Didn't you say you didn't have a name?"



The pedestrians on the road gradually scattered at each fork in the road, the foot of the ice slowly become snow, a foot down, issued creak sound.



The eyes of the blood are wide, staring at the face that is no different from this cold world, and slowly said: "in this case, I will give you a name. Just as you told me that my name is' omni ', I will tell you that your name is' idiocy '. Good name, isn't it?"



The beggar did not respond. He just held the baby girl in his arms and set off on his way to the town of cuvi.



-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --



The cold wind swept, as the sun rises and sets, rolled over the whole sad continent.



In the far south, perhaps the tenderness of spring has begun to touch people's cheeks, bringing them warm climates, comfortable green grass and ice-breaking rivers.



But here, in the far northwest. Snow, is still the main melody here, they drift and disorderly, with a beautiful appearance to confuse the hungry and cold people, devouring their lives.



The little beggar walked on in silence. No, he had a name now, so he could no longer be called "little beggar". A child given the name "idiot" by the dark dark, has been carrying the baby girl in his arms for five days on the desolate northwest ice.



Perhaps, dark to give him this name in some time really is not wrong. To travel all the way from the border city of sennag to the desert country of the southeastern interior is an idiotic thing to think about. But he did, and embarked on what seemed like an endless journey.



The road has been frozen in for too long. The carriage creaked as it passed. After five days of walking, the idiot finally arrived at his first destination, the town of cuvee. Just take the magic train from here, then can save him the journey time which is difficult to calculate.



"Ho ~~~!"



The town of cuvee, part of the crystal ice republic, is located on the border of three nearby countries, so it is nominally part of the crystal ice republic, but the republic itself does not interfere much with the town. The town began to feel like China. It was not the desolation of the place that made the faint whistle; on the contrary, it was a scene far more lively than it should have been in a neglected region.



A large banner hung at the mouth of the town, and colorful balloons were everywhere. Along the main road to the center of the town were various stalls. Groceries, food, and even magic divination, which had been forbidden, also appeared.



"What a riot! Hello, hello, is this really a town without any property characteristics, the slightest economic development? It's a little cosmopolitan!"



Many people, dark out of the blood pupil did not open. But its voice did not hesitate to enter the brain of the idiot.



The idiot witnessed the lively scene, eyes covered with ice is more thick. He had heard of the town when he was in sennagh, and it was by no means highly regarded. But in this case, that means something must have happened here.



But whatever happens, it has nothing to do with idiots. His purpose is only the train here, and the destination blowing sand city.



"Hello! Aren't you going to have a look? Look at the bustle here?"



The dark voice stirred.



"....................."



"Cheep, ok, I know ~~~! You are an idiot who is only interested in what he CARES about and doesn't care about anything else. All right, all right! Let's go! Get on that damn train and eat the sand in that damn stag empire!"

This is the story of the doomed emperor, who is about to sit on the throne of bones, and a baby girl he has adopted.

Time passed quickly and it was soon 2 hrs before dinner. Xinya wore a maroon laced dress and wore light makeup. She then rushed to the location of the restaurant. 

8 pm, Berkeley Restaurant
The restaurant was spacious and positively clean, the walls were painted with colour that are pleasant and the place has a remarkably cosmopolitan. Just then, a man walked in. He was of good built, he had distinct features and was incredibly attractive under the light. It was at this moment that Xinya realised it was Xutao. "Nice to meet you again Mr Xu, feel free to order anything. This meal is on me," Xinya said to break the awkwardness. Both of them then sat down placed their order. "Don't mind my nosiness but what happened the day before?" Xutao asked with politeness. Xinya thought o herself it wouldn't hurt to say so she told him everything. Xutao then comforted her like a gentlemen. He did indeed found himself weird because he was never gentle to anyone before. Soon, the food arrived and the chatted happily as they munched on their food.
-
"It was a great dinner and it was nice to meet a friend like you, I hope there will be more chances in the future to meet you" Xinya said out of politeness. "Of course, there will definitely be more chances for us to meet. How about a ride home?" This sentence made Xinya's heart melt for some reason. They then got into the car and drove off.

An ambitious young lady, XingYa goes through a lot of hardships. Her boyfriend betrayed her with another woman so she decides to make him regret. She knew the only was for her to live better without him. God wasn't so bad to her afterall, she met the biggest shareholder of Ying Shen entertainment, Xutao. Xutao was also the future-head of Xu international. Little did she know that the moment the Xutao saw her, he fell in love with her. He then secretly helps Xinya behind the scenes.

The next morning I was sitting at my computer in my home office.

I should have been working. I had three deadlines the next two weeks and I'd barely begun on the work. I was a freelance editor. I got paid by the hour and if I didn't work that hour, I didn't get paid. I had a mouth to feed, my own. I had a body to clothe, a body that liked all sorts of clothes, it craved them so I had to feed the habit or things could get nasty. I had a cosmopolitan addiction and cosmos didn't come cheap. And I had a house I was fixing up. Therefore, I needed to get paid.

Okay, that wasn't strictly true. I wasn't fixing up my house. My Dad did some of the work. My friend Troy did other work. So, I should say that I had a house I was guilting, begging and emotionally blackmailing others into fixing up.
But still, it needed fixing up and cabinets and tile didn't march from Cabinet and Tile Land into my house and say, "We want to live with you, Gwendolyn Kidd, fix us to your walls!"
That only happened in my dreams, of which I had many, most of them daydreams.
Like right then, sitting at my computer, one heel to the seat, my chin to my knee, my eyes staring out the window, I was thinking about my Mystery Man, the Great MM. I was daydreaming about changing our first meeting. Being smarter, funnier, more mysterious, alluring, interesting, hooking him instantly with my rapier wit, my flair for conversation, my ability to discuss politics and world events intelligently, my humble stories of expansive charity work all wrapped up with enticing looks that promised a lifetime of mind-blowing orgasms, making him declare his undying love for me.
Or at least tell me his name.
Instead, I was drunk and definitely not any of that.I heard my doorbell go, a chime then a clunk and I started out of my elaborate daydream which was beginning to get good.
Then I got up and walked through my office into the upstairs hall making a mental note, again, to call Troy and see if he'd fix my doorbell for a six pack and a homemade pizza. This might mean he'd bring his annoying, whiny, constantly bitching new girlfriend though, so I changed my mind and decided to call my Dad.
