ALL NOVEL
Chapter 64
In the square, Chu Yang was seen standing on a skateboard, her hands grasping Chi Yan's shoulders, saying "Slow down, slow down."
Chi Yan slowly moved forward, carrying Chu Yang with his arms circled around her waist, afraid that she might fall off.
After practicing for a good while, Chu Yang felt that she was slowly getting the hang of it. "Go stand to the side and watch me, I want to try it myself."
Chi Yan stood to the side, watching her, but his heart was still racing as he stood ready to dash forward and catch her at any moment. As Chu Yang slid forward on the skateboard, he followed along beside her.
After playing for a long time, Chu Yang got tired and went to sit at the side. Chi Yan went to "show off" some more tricks, and Chu Yang saw some skateboarder guys come up to ask Chi Yan for tips. She then saw Chi Yan patiently talking and teaching the people who came to ask him questions.
Later, she saw Chi Yan performing tricks together with several of the skateboarder guys, while the onlooking crowd cheered and applauded. Chu Yang also clapped her hands - he was truly impressive. She truly witnessed Chi Yan's charm.
Then another girl came over holding a skateboard, said something to Chi Yan, and he pointed in Chu Yang's direction. The girl walked away looking disappointed while Chi Yan went back to playing with the guys.
After playing until exhaustion, Chi Yan came and sat next to Chu Yang. "What do you think? Was I cool just now?"
Chu Yang handed him a bottle of water. "Super cool!"
Chi Yan saw some people roller skating to the side. "I can roller skate too. I'll teach you next time."
"Sure."
The two of them stayed until past 9 PM, then Chu Yang went back to her dorm and Chi Yan went back to B University after sending her back.
Two days later, the country's embassy released a travel advisory, stating that recently it was not advisable to travel to Country N for tourism. The embassy stationed in Country N also released a danger signal: In recent days, some areas of Country N have seen outbreaks of violent protests... Please closely monitor local conditions and pay attention to announcements from the police regarding... If you encounter an emergency, you can call the following numbers...
Country N was a small nation with little presence in the world. Other than some special individuals or people who did business in Country N, not many people paid attention to it.
Ruan Xin was an ethnic Hua businessman who did business in Country N. Yesterday, he noticed an acquaintance, also an ethnic Hua who worked in Country N, say that all ethnic Hua staff in their company would be leaving Country N to return to their homeland today, with no notice of when they might come back.
Today, after the embassy released this new announcement, Ruan Xin figured he should also go back. He hadn't returned home for almost a year now, so it would be good to visit family. He quickly decided to buy a flight ticket home for tomorrow.
The situation in Country N deteriorated rapidly. Within a single morning, the whole of Country N fell into chaos. Smashing, robbing, looting, and arson were commonplace, while some even marched down streets spraying bullets, instantly taking the lives of many innocent civilians.
The turmoil in Country N instantly shot up to trending topic on the internet. In a household in Hua Country, the lady of the house came out from her room. "Dear, Country N is in turmoil! Thankfully you didn't go."
The man immediately stood up. "Where?"
The lady quickly showed him the trending news on her phone. "Take a look."
The man swiftly read through it, even seeing videos sent back from abroad showing chaotic streets and people collapsed on the ground.
The man wiped his brow. "Thankfully I felt uneasy before I considered traveling to Country N, so I went to ask an influencer!"
The lady said: "??? What influencer?"
The man immediately recounted the story. The lady felt it was unbelievable. "Dear, you really encountered a benefactor. How much did you give at the time?"
The man: "Uh... 500 RMB."
The lady put her palms together and immediately said: "Just 500, quick quick quick, give me 10,000 more. This is truly our ancestors blessing us."
Then Chu Yang received a transfer of 10,000 RMB from the client, as well as piles of words of thanks and gained another fan - the client's wife.
The wife even made a blog post editing and recounting the event, originally only wanting to write it down as a record. She didn't expect that within a day, her post became a top trending topic, with many people commenting below that her husband was blessed by his ancestors and had great luck, while others asked which influencer was so accurate, and wondered if the story was fabricated for internet fame.
The wife immediately replied: If there is one false detail in what I said, may I be struck by lightning. The influencer is @ProphetGirlWitch. It's this influencer. Whether you believe it or not, I will always be her hardcore fan from now on.
Within the trending topic about Country N's turmoil, some also discussed: "I was working in Country N just days ago. Later the company urgently said all ethnic Hua staff must return home within two days, with no clear reasons given. But we all still obeyed the local Country N executive's orders and quickly prepared to return home. Just days after getting back, early morning today I see the news about Country N's turmoil. I'm truly so grateful to the company!"
Many commented below:
"Bro, I guess we are from the same company."
"I'm from that company too. Thank the boss!"
"Thank the company, thank the boss! Today my whole family said we're going to bring fruits from our home to give the boss. Hahaha."
"Your company really had great foresight."
"As long as you're safe, that's good."
"Our ancestors really protected you guys, meeting such a good company and executive."
Although one batch had returned, there was still another batch who had not come back. Wang Yin who previously had contact with them had made preparations after getting the heads up, so they were not caught unprepared.
Chi Yan was still in class. Xiao Yang kept calling him, so Chi Yan quickly declined the call and messaged: "Bro, I'm in class right now."
Xiao Yang: "Oh oh my bad, I forgot. Contact me again when you're free at noon."
After school at noon, Xiao Yang called again. As soon as Chi Yan picked up, Xiao Yang rambled on:
"I truly have to thank your friend! Now everyone is calling me wise and brilliant. Some employees even brought gifts to my office. What does your friend lack? Should I treat him to a meal? Ah, I'm truly so thankful! This wasn't just saving me, but saving so many employees too!"
Chi Yan: "He doesn't lack anything. If you had to say something, then lacking money I guess." As for anything else he would buy for her himself.
Xiao Yang: "Alright, I'll transfer the money to you, help me pass it on to your friend." Very quickly, Xiao Yang directly transferred 100,000 over and then asked again, "You short on cash too bro? Big bro will sponsor you some more, a man your age should always have money on hand, especially right now."
After saying this, he transferred another 50,000 to Chi Yan for personal expenses.
On the other side, Chu Yang who was eating received Chi Yan's transfer of 100,000 RMB.
Chu Yang: ?
Chi Yan: My cousin said this is to thank you for saving him and his company's employees.
Chu Yang: Wasn't I given money last time already?
Chi Yan: That was the deposit.
Then Chi Yan sent screenshots of his conversation with his cousin, to prove this was definitely for her.
Chi Yan: See, it's truly for you. I can't embezzle it for sure.
After some hesitation, Chu Yang still accepted it: We'll have dinner tonight, it's my treat.
She wanted to buy him a gift.
Chi Yan: Yes Sir!
