Chapter 51: The Attention of Two Big Shots

While Fu Tiandao and Qin Hanxuan were chatting, a sound came from the computer in the office.

"What's going on?" Fu Tiandao looked toward Qin Hanxuan.

"I'll go take a look." Qin Hanxuan stood up and walked to the computer desk, where he saw a message popping up on the screen.

A quick glance left him feeling surprised.

"Old Fu, come over here and look!" he shouted to Fu Tiandao.

Fu Tiandao stood up and walked over.

"Seventeen years old, and already a martial artist!" Seeing the information on the computer, Fu Tiandao was also somewhat surprised.

But when he saw the name Wang Teng, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Wang Teng... that name sounds a bit familiar!"

"What, do you know him?" Qin Hanxuan asked in surprise.

Fu Tiandao thought for a moment and then realized, "I remember now. A few days ago, my subordinates submitted a data report. If it's not just a coincidence of the same name, I think that report belongs to him."

"Open the surveillance and take a look; we'll know if it's the same person."

Qin Hanxuan operated the computer, and immediately, the scene from Wang Teng's room was projected onto the opposite wall.

"That's him, exactly like the photo." Fu Tiandao recognized Wang Teng instantly.

"By the way, what data were you talking about just now?" Qin Hanxuan asked.

"The data shows that this kid has progressed from an ordinary person to a high-level martial apprentice in less than a month since joining our martial arts hall," Fu Tiandao said.

"Haha, this Wang Teng must have started practicing before he came to your hall. Look at his profile—the third generation of the Wang family from Donghai. His family shouldn't lack resources; it should be enough to support his martial arts training," Qin Hanxuan laughed.

"That's what I thought too. I originally wanted to observe him a bit longer, but I didn't expect him to become a martial artist already. It seems he truly is a genius," Fu Tiandao said in amazement.

A seventeen-year-old martial artist was not a common sight!

"It looks like there's going to be a dark horse in this martial arts exam," Qin Hanxuan joked.

"Shall we go watch when the time comes?" Although Fu Tiandao maintained a calm demeanor, he clearly appeared quite interested.

"Sure, let's go together!"

...

Wang Teng had no idea that having just become a martial artist, he had already garnered the attention of two big shots. Truly terrifying!

Ten minutes later, the martial artist certificate was completed.

Looking at the small black booklet in his hand, Wang Teng couldn't help but smile.

Donning his Ultraman mask, he left the Martial Arts Association.

By the time he returned to school, the last class of the morning had not yet ended. Since everyone was in class, Wang Teng did not go to disturb the teacher.

He went to the small grove, entered his martial artist certificate number on Taobao, and placed an order.

This "Master Lu" was something else—you couldn't even place an order without a martial artist certificate number. Even if you're going to be difficult about something, don't be difficult about money!

Whatever, judging by the seller's tone, they probably weren't short on cash!

After placing the order, Wang Teng sent a message to urge them: "Order placed, ship it quickly!"

"Sure thing, dear ε=(ο｀*)))"

The other side replied immediately.

Not long after class ended, Wang Teng met up with Xu Jie and the others to eat at the canteen, where he ran into Li Rongcheng and Yuan Zhenghua, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.

As soon as Li Rongcheng saw Wang Teng, his expression turned sour.

Especially after that day, Zhou Baijun had actually approached him to ask about Wang Teng.

Originally, Zhou Baijun placed a lot of importance on him, and Li Rongcheng believed he had a chance to win the heart of the third young lady of the Zhou family, eventually marrying a rich and beautiful woman to reach the pinnacle of life.

The Zhou family would surely become a massive boost for him.

By then, he, Li Rongcheng, would be a prominent figure in Donghai, rather than just a rich second generation relying on his father.

But Wang Teng—it was always Wang Teng. This guy's appearance had stolen the spotlight that should have belonged to him; even Zhou Baijun had developed an interest in Wang Teng.

Dammit!

Li Rongcheng felt a surge of resentment.

"Young Master Li, coming to eat too?" Wang Teng saw Li Rongcheng and gave a casual greeting.

"Hmph!" Li Rongcheng gave a cold snort and walked straight away.

"What's the deal? What did I do to offend him this time?" Wang Teng asked Xu Jie beside him, looking bewildered.

"Who knows!" Xu Jie shrugged.

...

During the lunch break, Wang Teng practiced in the small grove and only returned to class when it was time for lessons.

After all, it was the last day of the week; he might as well show some respect to the teachers.

The three classes ended quickly.

After school, Wang Teng stood up to prepare to go home, but he was called back by Lin Chuhan.

"You... wait for me a moment." She bit her lip, looking somewhat embarrassed, but she finally mustered the courage to call out.

Wang Teng had long noticed that she seemed distracted. Seeing her call out to him, he stopped in his tracks to see what she wanted to say.

Lin Chuhan packed her schoolbag and walked out of the classroom with Wang Teng.

The two walked to a deserted spot.

Lin Chuhan fell into hesitation again, her expression shifting constantly between helplessness and determination.

"If you have any difficulties, just say them," Wang Teng said softly.

Perhaps it was Wang Teng's gentle attitude that steadied Lin Chuhan's heart. She took a deep breath and then said, "Can you... can you lend me some money?"

As she spoke these words, she seemed to deflate, a flash of helplessness and bitterness crossing her heart.

"How much?" Looking at her, Wang Teng felt a sudden, faint tug at his heart.

This girl was having a hard time!

He believed Lin Chuhan must have reached a point of desperation to come to him for money; otherwise, given her self-esteem, she wouldn't even be able to utter such words.

"One... one hundred and fifty thousand!" Lin Chuhan found it difficult to speak, hurriedly adding, "I know it's a lot, but I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible. After the college entrance exam, I'll go work, and as soon as I have money, I'll..."

Wang Teng couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

It wasn't because of the amount, but rather he was puzzled as to why Lin Chuhan would need so much money.

However, he didn't ask further. He took out his phone and said directly, "Give me your Alipay account. I'll transfer it to you now."

"...I'll pay you back!" Before Lin Chuhan could finish, hearing Wang Teng's words, she suddenly looked up, her eyes turning red. She took a breath to steady herself and forced a smile. "Thank you!"

"I will pay you back very soon."

She emphasized this once more, as if this was the only way to preserve the last shred of her dignity.

"No rush, just do what you can." Wang Teng nodded, scanned her Alipay account, and transferred the money directly.

This world had many differences; for instance, Alipay supported large transfers without limits.

Lin Chuhan thanked him again, clutching her phone tightly. The 150,000 felt exceptionally heavy in her hand; even at their family's wealthiest, they had never had this much in savings.

For a family like Wang Teng's, a hundred or two hundred thousand might just be pocket money, but for many ordinary families, it might take years to save that much.

"I wonder what kind of trouble she's actually facing?"

Watching Lin Chuhan's retreating figure, Wang Teng thought about it and, feeling uneasy, quietly followed her.
