Chapter 10 of Volume 1: Buying Official Ranks with Bricks Second Watch

  ．

  "No way, absolutely not!"

  Although the neatly stacked banknotes in the suitcase made Gong Cheng swallow his saliva, after hearing Xiao Tianruo's request, Gong Cheng immediately pulled down his old face.

  Gong's reaction was so intense that Xiao Tianruo didn't dare to retreat. This old man, isn't he just dissatisfied with the amount of money? He pretended to be discontent and asked: "Principal Gong, is this amount of money not enough to buy a small clerk under your hand?"

  "It's not that it's not enough... 200,000 can buy a low-level clerk, how could it be not enough?!"

  Before meeting, this young man with a childish face was not fooled by himself. Gong Cheng had to reluctantly retrieve his iron-faced and impartial expression, and replied: "Little Xiao, what about you? If you were five or six years older and had a university degree, I would stake my old face to help you run errands, maybe it's still possible. But now...

  "Heh heh, a university degree is easy to get. President Gong, you're on your own turf, can't you just whip up a diploma? His palm faced downwards and stretched out to the side, opening the briefcase, then withdrew his hand. A burst of golden light made Gong's pupils dilate. A gold brick, half the size of his palm and two fingers thick, lay steadily in the middle of a stack of banknotes!"

  Gong Chengxuan smiled comfortingly with an exaggerated old face, and Xiao Tianruo continued to ask: "Is that enough?"

  "Cough, cough... How could a graduation certificate be a problem? Hehe, I haven't even stepped down yet. The issue of academic qualifications is easy to handle, hehe..." Secretly resenting himself for being intimidated by a gold brick worth only tens of millions, he came back to his senses and found that Gōng Chéng's gaze towards Xiāo Tiān Ruò had undergone some changes. Apparently, this seemingly young and inexperienced youth was not someone who would reveal all his cards at once."

  However, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Tianruo broke through Gong Cheng's impression of him, or rather, Xiao Tianruo completely broke through Gong Cheng's psychological defense line.

  "Bang~" Xiao Tian waved his hand, and a gold brick five or six times larger than the previous one was stacked on top of the original one. A large red-brick-sized gold brick swayed back and forth on the smaller gold brick, and Gong's shining eyes also followed the gold brick as it swayed.

  If the small gold brick that Xiao Tianruo took out of the gold shop is also put together, careful people may discover a very interesting phenomenon: these three gold bricks are spliced together, neither more nor less, just the right size of a complete red brick.

  "Principal Gong?"

  As soon as he saw his own palm, Gong Cheng's soul was hooked away, and Xiao Tianruo, who was waiting to finish the matter and go back to sleep, had to remind him in a low voice.

  "Hehe, hehe, hehe, Xiao Xiao, you can go back now. Everything is fine, no problem!" This time, I was really scared, while covering my chest which was surging with blood, Gong Cheng hurriedly said that everything would be alright if he took care of it."

  "Oh? It doesn't matter if I just came of age?"

  Found that the old man's expression changed instantly, it was quite interesting, although he knew there was a solid gold brick, even if he was robbed of his eyes, he wouldn't blink, but to avoid any mistakes, Xiao Tian Ruo still confirmed again.

  "It's okay, it's okay! Now they're all promoting young civil servants first, youth is good. Xiao Xiao, you can go back and wait for the news with peace of mind, I guarantee to get it done within a week!" After Xiaotianyou threw out the second gold brick, Gong Cheng's eyes only had the shining gold bricks left, and he couldn't wait for Xiaotianyou to leave early, so that he could bite into the gold bricks to see if they were copper-plated.

  "Well then I'll go first, this is my phone."

  On an old man's head, he wrote down his own phone number. As for the Parker pen "borrowed" from Gong Cheng's desk, Xiao Tianruo simply put it in his pocket.

  Spent 3,000 yuan to find a little rascal to investigate Gong Cheng's residence, plus the round-trip fare and clothes, totaling almost 5,000. Just right, a gold pen was earned back!

  Why don't those three gold bricks count?

  "Heh heh, if that greedy old man knew that the gold bricks would turn back into red bricks after a month, wouldn't he be driven to death?!" Xia Tian Ruo thought maliciously in his heart as he went downstairs. Indeed, these three gold bricks were the defective products of Xia Tian Ruo's hard work for a week. Since they were defective products, it was natural that they had some "small flaws".

  Although the fire is not enough and the structure is not very stable, these three gold bricks are now all genuine thousand-foot gold. Even if they were taken to the institute for inspection, no problems would be found. As for a month later, even if the gold shop and Gong Cheng have not yet parted with them, and they have turned into red bricks, it will only be thought that they were stolen and replaced by thieves afterwards, and it will never occur to anyone that Xiao Tianruo had given them to him in the first place!

  Back home, the apartment door had been fixed by the maintenance worker found by the security guard. Xiao Tianruo also deliberately went to a nearby restaurant to buy some food and brought it back. Since returning to this era, except for being taken out to eat a good meal by Lin Ruxue after the college entrance exam, Xiao Tianruo hadn't had many decent meals until now.

  These days, Xiao Tian Ruo didn't even eat a mouthful of rice while closed in and practicing alchemy. Although after cultivating he wouldn't starve to death no matter how hungry he was, the feeling of an empty stomach wasn't very comfortable. After eating his fill and drinking enough, he cultivated for another half hour, recovering some spiritual energy. Xiao Tian Ruo didn't even bother changing clothes, directly flopping onto the bed and falling asleep. Sleeping also followed this principle, although not sleeping wouldn't make him tired to death, but his brain spinning around in circles would be hard to avoid making mistakes.

  After a week of sleep, Xiao Tianyou had a terrible "nightmare": in the dream, many beautiful girls surrounded him, Xiao Tianyou panicked and hid back home, but Lin Ruxue was excited to collect a group of beauties and even coaxed some girls to call her mom...

  Xiao Tianruo was having a beautiful dream at home, while on the other side, Gong Cheng, who had just received a large sum of money for buying an official position, looked pale. Next to him, a tube on the cabinet occasionally transmitted the anxious inquiry voice of a young woman.

  "Xiao Tian Ruo, Xiao Hong Chang, Xiao Hong Chang, Xiao Tian Ruo..."

  The originally sharp eyes were now a blur, Gong Cheng was stunned like a wooden chicken, muttering two names with the same surname. Suddenly, a gleam of light shot out from Gong Cheng's eyes, who had been sitting stupidly for half a day.

  "Hey, Little Red, I'm fine now. I want you to help me investigate the household registration data, but whatever you do, don't leak it out, remember!"

  At this time, Gong Cheng was relieved that he had discovered the unusual things tonight in a timely manner and had also called his student in the public security system to inquire about Xiao Tianruo's information. Obviously, Gong Cheng, who was knocked unconscious by Xiao Tianruo with a gold brick, did not notice at the first time how abnormal it was to spend nearly one million yuan to buy an administrative position.

  Now, considering Xiao Tianyou's father's identity, all of this makes sense. Xiao Tianyou spent so much money buying an official position just to enter the bureaucracy and quickly gain experience, not to be a minor clerk who can't even recoup his investment in his entire lifetime!

  Gong Cheng had already broken out in a cold sweat at this point. Realizing the severity of the situation, Gong Cheng, who was over 50 years old, didn't dare to delay for a moment. After instructing his students, he made several calls to his superiors and subordinates one after another.

  This is an opportunity and also a challenge! If done beautifully, it will be a great success; if not, there will be no doubt that it will end in failure...
