Chapter 108: New Years Gifts

On the first day of the New Year, the sound of firecrackers rang out early in the morning.

Chen Chuan woke up from his dream, he put his hands behind his head and lay quietly. Although the conditions in the school dormitory were good, this place gave him a sense of warmth and comfort.

After lying down for a while, he got dressed and got up, opened the curtains, and opened the window. The sun shone in from outside. It had snowed all night yesterday, but the sun was out today. The snow on the eaves and the ground looked like it was wrapped in a layer of cotton.

He took a few deep breaths and went outside to wash up, and wished Nian Fuli and Yu Wan, who were already up, a happy new year. Then he called Cheng Zitong, Bian Feng and other teachers to wish them a happy new year.

After breakfast, Chen Chuan went outside and opened the mailbox, and took back the New Year cards one by one. Most of these were sent by former and current classmates, but one of them was particularly delicate. After opening it, there were six characters written in elegant handwriting: "Wishing you good luck in the New Year."

He nodded. Ms. Meng always did a very good job in this regard. Regardless of the relationship, she would send New Year cards every year. In fact, he also sent a New Year card according to the usual practice.

However, Central City and Yang Zhi did not have direct mailing services, so they could only be sent to the old house. As for whether they could be received, it was beyond his control.

At this moment, two small heads poked in from outside the door, wearing two small tiger heads, and shouted to him in unison: "Cousin, Happy New Year~" and then looked at him expectantly.

Chen Chuan smiled, he walked to the drawer, took out red envelopes, and gave one to each of them.

"Thank you, cousin!" This was obviously the polite Nian Lu. As for the younger cousin Nian Mo, he took the red envelope and ran away.

Chen Chuan then took out another red envelope and stuffed it to Nian Lu, and winked at her. Nian Lu looked up at him, then tugged at his clothes. When Chen Chuan bent down, she whispered in his ear: "Cousin, don't worry, I won't tell Mo."

Chen Chuan smiled, said okay, touched Nian Lu's head, and stood up.

After the little guy left, he returned to his desk and picked up the booklet He Xiaoxing sent him and flipped through it. He didn't plan to train today. It was rare to have a day off, just do some simple breathing exercises.

Not long after, he heard bursts of children's shouts and noises outside. It should be Nian Lu, Nian Mo and a group of children having a snowball fight.

He thought about it. It was a pity this year. Aunt told him that his older cousin Nian Qian had tight schedules at military school, and was said to be at a critical moment, so he couldn't come back for the New Year this year.

After nine o'clock, people began to come to pay New Year's greetings one after another. They were all Nian Fuli's subordinates, but there were more people coming this year. Some people who didn't usually interact much also came to the door. The phone at home kept ringing. After hanging up here, he had to greet people there.

Yu Wan secretly told Chen Chuan that Nian Fuli would be promoted to Chief Captain after the new year. He couldn't help but suddenly understand why Nian Fuli looked radiant these days.

He couldn't help but think of Wei Chang'an telling him that Wei Laohu had been in a bad mood these days. Could it be because of this?

Among these calls, many were also made to Chen Chuan. Feng Xiaoqi was the first to call to wish him a happy new year, and Ding Jiao, Luo Kaiyuan, and Wei Chang'an all called one after another, and thanked him for his New Year card.

From the first day to the fourth day of the New Year, Chen Chuan, like in previous years, followed Nian Fuli and Yu Wan to visit neighbors and close relatives and friends.

He originally planned to go to Yu Gang's place once, but he learned from Nian Fuli that Yu Gang had gone to Iron Chain Gang and was no longer in the original place. Now he didn't know where he was, so he couldn't go.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Nian Fuli and Yu Wan went out early in the morning, and he received a call. A lazy voice came from inside: "Cousin, are you there? I'm at the entrance of the alley. There are still people guarding your place during the New Year."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I'll come out to pick you up."

This area is the family area of the Patrol Bureau. Usually, it looks like people can enter and exit freely, and no one stops them, but in fact, strangers can't get in at all. Even for New Year's greetings, only acquaintances can bring them in.

He walked out of the yard and came to the entrance of the alley, and saw a tall and thin young man leaning against a silver-gray car. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had a parted hairstyle, and had a lazy smile on his face.

He was wearing a brown thickened gentleman's suit and a dark blue patterned tie. He was obviously very handsome, but his eyes were slightly narrow and long, giving people a feeling of being a refined scoundrel.

When the young man saw him, he stood up straight and waved, "Cousin."

Chen Chuan also nodded with a smile, "Gao Ming." He greeted, "Don't stand there, come in."

"Hey, there are still things, help me take them together."

Chen Chuan walked up, waited for Gao Ming to open the trunk, and carried the things towards home. Gao Ming saw that he picked them up with one hand, but he still looked very relaxed, and couldn't help but envy him, and sighed, "Wuyi students are really different."

Chen Chuan just smiled.

After the two entered the house, Gao Ming looked around, "Are Aunt and Uncle not here?"

"They've all gone out."

Gao Ming said, "That's really a coincidence. These days, my dad and uncle have been dragging me around. There's still a case on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so I'm only free today."

Chen Chuan said, "Shall we have a meal together later?"

When Gao Ming heard him ask this, he immediately covered his stomach, "Hey, spare me. There are too many people in our line of work to deal with during the New Year. I eat eight meals a day, and I'm about to throw up."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I won't force you." He and Gao Ming were both relatives and classmates. They grew up together and had always had a good relationship, so they spoke to each other very casually.

Gao Ming then asked curiously: "Cousin, how did you get into Wuyi University^[-]? I remember you didn't practice much before?"

Chen Chuan thought for a while and gave an explanation: "It should be because I have talent. The teachers at the school call this talent, and say that only a few people have it."

Gao Ming felt that this possibility was really high. He remembered that when he was fighting when he was a child, Chen Chuan was really the most powerful.

He joked: "Cousin, you are a top student, so you will have unlimited prospects in the future. If you bet on you, it would be a good investment."

Chen Chuan said, "Are you sure it's a good investment?" He smiled and said meaningfully, "If you want to invest, you may have to pay a lot, and you may not receive a single return."

Gao Ming was startled. He pushed his glasses, looked at him for a moment, his expression became serious, and said uncertainly: "Cousin, do you want to... go to Central City?"

Chen Chuan looked at him. This cousin had always been very smart. He only heard one sentence from him, and a little bit of information he had revealed before, and guessed his thoughts.

He frankly said: "Yes, I have this idea, but it's not enough to rely on me alone. I need help from more aspects, so this time I also want to discuss the possibilities here with you, depending on whether you are willing to take on this business."

After hearing his answer, Gao Ming showed a trace of surprise on his face, but more of it was excitement. He took off his glasses, wiped his eyes, and said, "Cousin, this is a big challenge."

And when he put his glasses back on, there was already a glow in his eyes, and his voice revealed full of interest, and he said very seriously: "Cousin, I want to know your current social relationships in school, who can help you, who you can absolutely trust, and also your current Strength, cousin. Only by knowing these things can I make at least an assessment."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Gao Ming knew about his family and his previous classmates, so he didn't need to say much. He focused on talking about his interpersonal relationships at Wuyi School, mainly the school management and Cheng Zitong.

These things were not secrets. As long as someone with a heart wanted to investigate, they could find out. Finally, he also talked about his main experiences during his time at the school, including the extermination of Fang Dawei and his gang and eliminating Supernatural Entities.

"So, what about Strength?" Gao Ming was most concerned about this, because no matter what ideas he had, as long as he was a student of Wuyi Academy, the most practical thing that could measure everything was martial power.

"Cousin, what step has your current Strength reached? How does it compare to Wuyi upperclassmen? How much gap is there?"

Chen Chuan pondered for a while, "I don't know how high the level of top student upperclassmen is, but let me put it this way, if I'm armed, and it's not a group fight, even some ordinary coaches and teachers in the academy can't beat me."

He didn't say this out of arrogance, because without knowing his Second Self, if he was really desperate, he could completely use a life-for-life fighting technique after being armed. Unless those teachers' reactions and Speed were much faster than him, otherwise it would be a matter of one knife.

Gao Ming's eyes were now full of light. He exclaimed: "Cousin, you have given me a great New Year's gift." He took a deep breath, "It seems I have to stay a few more days."

Chen Chuan smiled, "Don't you have business these two days?"

Gao Ming stretched out his hand, took off his tie, threw it on the table, and said very simply, "I'm not going. What could be more important than this now?"

Mi's Law Firm and Wuyi Academy both have business dealings. After knowing that Chen Chuan was admitted to Wuyi, he also paid close attention to this aspect.

Now, after listening to Chen Chuan's account, from what he had come into contact with, Chen Chuan already had the basic conditions to go to Central City, but there were still some things missing.

But it didn't matter, these could be managed and compensated for.

If he could push an ordinary person who was not an Inner Disciple to Central City, if he succeeded, it was conceivable that he would definitely be a hit in the lawyer world, and apart from business, if he had a cousin who could enter Central City Wuyi Academy, it would also be of great help to his career.

He thought for a while, "I will give you a detailed plan, and I will also help you analyze what situations you need to avoid or face at that time, but I may have to go back to the law firm and check the relevant files on this."

Chen Chuan said, "This matter is not urgent, but there is one thing I need your help with right now. I need to sign a temporary agreement with a Commission Company, and I need you to help me."

"A piece of cake." Gao

Ming agreed very readily. After asking about the Commission Company, he showed an interested expression again, "Cousin, maybe we can have good contact with this Company."
