Zhao Longfei, in front of Qin Siyang, made a call to Zhao Longteng.
He mentioned that Qin Siyang was going to become the vice president of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce and a board member.
Of course, he also brought up the fact that Qin Siyang could provide four Crimson Crystals, which, when put together, were about the size of an egg.
This surprised Qin Siyang greatly.
Zhao Longteng agreed extremely straightforwardly.
There was no hesitation or back-and-forth at all.
"Alright, I understand, big brother. Goodbye."
["Goodbye."]
After Zhao Longteng hung up the phone, he glanced at Zhao Sifang, who was beaming with excitement beside him.
The conversation between the two brothers just now had been heard loud and clear by his son standing nearby.
"Father, Brother Qin is going to be the vice president?"
Zhao Longteng nodded.
"You heard it yourself, didn't you? He's taking out four Crimson Crystals in exchange for a vice president position."
Zhao Sifang frowned slightly, murmuring in his heart: 'Four crystals together are only the size of an egg?'
'Does Brother Qin have that many small Crimson Crystals in his bag?'
'I remember them being about the size of an egg individually on average.'
'If he doesn't have small ones, he'll probably have to use a bigger one to make up for it.'
'I should find an opportunity to talk to him about it, so Brother Qin doesn't end up unhappy.'
Seeing Zhao Sifang's expression, Zhao Longteng sighed.
"In the past, I thought that having you as a son at least meant that the Zhao family wouldn't die out."
"But now, I think that if your second uncle and I weren't here to protect you, the Zhao family would definitely die out sooner or later."
Zhao Sifang looked at Zhao Longteng, not understanding why his father was suddenly scolding him out of nowhere, "Father, I never slack off on serious matters. Why do you always say that about me?"
"In this world, just doing serious work won't keep you alive."
Zhao Longteng looked helpless, "Lately, I keep thinking that it would've been better if you were a girl."
"A girl? Why?"
"If you were a girl, I could marry you off to Qin Siyang, and I wouldn't have to worry anymore."
Zhao Sifang pouted.
'That is too hurtful.'
'Even if he is a man, Brother Qin still stored all his Crimson Crystals with me.'
'The bond between us is undeniable!'

Meanwhile…
In the Black Market's conference room…
Zhao Longfei hung up the phone, his expression somewhat complicated as he looked at Qin Siyang.
Qin Siyang, on the other hand, was grinning like a pomegranate, his smile practically stretching to his ears.
Zhao Longfei also hadn't expected his elder brother to agree so easily.
Making Qin Siyang the vice president of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, wasn't that like sending him to heaven?
It would seriously disrupt his academic work.
But since Zhao Longteng had already made the decision, he had nothing more to say.
"Next Monday, Li Tianming and the others will hold a meeting to distribute the Crimson Crystals."
"Next Tuesday is our scheduled day for the official establishment of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce."
"As the vice president, you have to attend. When our association is established, the elites from all sectors within the safe zone will be there. Prepare a proper outfit; we'll be taking photos together as well."
Qin Siyang asked, "So soon? Aren't you going to prepare more?"
"We've been preparing for months. A few more days won't make a difference. Do you think everyone has as much free time as you do?"
"Since they're all gathering for the Crimson Crystal meeting, we might as well finalize the association's establishment while they're here. We can't waste the time of those high-level figures."
Killing two birds with one stone, Qin Siyang found it reasonable.
"Principal Zhao, where will the meeting be held?"
"Right here, in District 9."
"But didn't you say there weren't any decent hotels in District 9? Where are you going to host it?"
"Tengfei Construction Group finished a clubhouse here recently, but it hasn't been officially opened yet. That will be our designated Zhao Chamber of Commerce headquarters in District 9."
Qin Siyang exclaimed in admiration, "Such thorough preparation! You truly live up to your name, Principal Zhao!"
"Alright, enough talking. Let's all go home. I still have to prepare for the Crimson Crystal meeting. You really lucked out today."
"Come on, we call this mutual benefit!"
"Whatever. I happen to be heading to the hotel, so I'll drop you off on the way to avoid any trouble on the road."
"Great, thank you, Principal Zhao!"
Zhao Longfei's car stood out at a glance.
Huge wheels, a spacious cabin, everything about it was large.
When Qin Siyang touched the door, the material felt warm and soft, definitely not ordinary metal.
It was probably a Hunting Weapon.
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car."
"Oh, okay."
Qin Siyang got in and sank into the comfortable seat.
"Ah~ This is pure luxury!"
Zhao Longfei gave him a side glance and didn't bother responding.
Having just become vice president, Qin Siyang was in high spirits and couldn't sit still in the seat.
"Principal Zhao, how much does this car cost?"
"Not cheap."
"Principal Zhao, what material is this car made of?"
"A lot of materials."
"Principal Zhao, does this car have any special functions?"
Zhao Longfei looked at Qin Siyang and said flatly, "Yes. But unfortunately, it doesn't have a function to shut you up."
.
.
.
They arrived at the hotel.
In the hotel's conference room, Li Tianming and the others were still discussing the Crimson Crystal meeting.
Qin Siyang glanced in, shook his head, and muttered, "No vision."
Entering his own room, Qin Siyang lay down on the bed in relief.
Finally, it was over.
The matter of the points had come to a temporary conclusion.
He could rest for two days.
Tang Wanjing, Chu Xiao'ang, and Zhao Longfei had all lectured him today, teaching him how to conduct himself.
This method of learning was too exhausting.
"As expected, studying just isn't for me."
Speaking of studying…
It was already 7 PM, and school had let out.
Qin Siyang dialed Wen Shu's number.
"Hello, it's me, Qin Siyang."
["Mm, I know."]
A gentle female voice came from the other end of the line.
"Do you need something?"
["Not really, just thought we haven't talked in a while and wanted to catch up."]
["I'm a bit busy right now. Can I call you back later?"]
"Uh, it's nothing urgent. Just wanted to ask how you've been. Is your college entrance exam preparation going well? You can go back to what you're doing."
["I'm doing well. The exam prep is going smoothly. What about you? Are you safe?"]
Qin Siyang chuckled.
"I've been in the safe zone the whole time. Perfectly safe."
["Mm, that's good."]
"Alright, you get back to work. Bye."
———
"Bye," Wen Shu hung up.
The man sitting across from her smirked mischievously.
"Are you in love? In a place like the outskirts of the safe zone, is there actually someone who caught your eye?"
"Who is it? Let me guess… Qin Siyang?"
"Speaking of Qin Siyang, that kid is definitely suspicious. No one had ever heard of him before, but then he suddenly shot to fame, and things just kept escalating. Have you ever considered that he…"
Wen Shu's tone was indifferent, "My business has nothing to do with you."
The man shrugged playfully, "Why are you so cold? Have you forgotten? The two of us killed—"
"I don't know why you always sound so cheerful when you bring that up," Wen Shu's gaze turned icy, "I never want to think about it again for the rest of my life."
The man shrugged again, "Suit yourself. But you still have to help me with that matter."
