Chapter 9: Turning the World Upside Down

  Chu Tian Shu nodded and said: "I'll say two things, you do as I say, and I'll let you go."

  Tian Keming was overjoyed and immediately got up, standing respectfully in front of Chu Tian Shu, waiting for his verdict.

  Chu Tian Shu knew that Tian Ke Ming had secretly saved a lot of money to spend on his own pleasures outside, so he asked: "How much money can you take out right now?"

  Tian Keming hastily said: "Twenty thousand."

  "Huh?" Chu Tian Shu pulled his face.

  "No, thirty thousand, just thirty thousand." Tian Keming said with a sad face: "I really only have that much on me, if I want more, I'll have to ask my wife for it."

  "Alright, you go get the money later and send it over to Zheng Xiaomin's place. Consider it compensation for Xiao Yatou's emotional distress."

  "No problem." Tian Keming replied, and then asked: "What if his family doesn't accept it?"

  "Are you brainless or blind? Can't you just go straight to the hospital's payment department?"

  "You're still clever." After calming down, Tian Keming immediately picked up his flattering routine again and added another sentence: "Heh heh, I'll just tell them it was you and me who donated together."

  "Suit yourself." Chu Tian Shu was too lazy to argue with him about this detail, and said: "Also, next Monday when you go to work, write a report and actively apply to go to 'rural residence'."

  This time Tian Keming hesitated: "This..."

  "Are you unwilling?" Chu Tian Shu stared at him.

  "Alright, alright." Tian Keming gritted his teeth and agreed.

  As long as Chu Tian Shu doesn't blow this thing up, and he goes down with the rank of Zheng Ke, it's estimated that he won't suffer too much. Relying on his relationship with Guan Hao Yu and Huang Ru Shan, he can hold on in Nanling County for a year before coming back, and who knows, maybe it'll even be an advantage for promotion.

  This is Tian Keming, an old hand in officialdom. Seeing that Chu Tianshu had relaxed his guard and could get past the current difficult pass, he began to calculate his personal career advancement.

  Chu Tian Shu shook his head in disgust.

  Tian Keming was startled and thought that Chu Tian Shu had changed his mind, so he quickly bowed his waist and asked with a smile: "Little Chu, what about the video on your phone..."

  Chu Tian Shu said: "Once these two things are settled, I will delete it in front of you."

  Tian Keming still wasn't at ease: "Hey hey, you won't download and copy it, will you?"

  "How dare you, do you suspect I would go back on my word?"

  "I don't dare, I don't dare!" Tian Keming said with a nod and a bow.

  "Get out!" Chu Tian Shu pulled open the door, pointing at Tian Ke Ming and said loudly.

  Tian Keming had just rolled out of the rest room when Zheng Xiaomin ran back, asking worriedly: "Chu big brother, are you okay?"

  Chu Tian Shu clapped her hands and laughed, asking: "Xiao Min, do I look like I have something on my mind?"

  "What about Director Tian? Does he have something going on?" Although Tian Keming's figure had long since disappeared, Zheng Xiaomin still subconsciously looked outside.

  "He's nothing," Chu Tian Shu comforted. "Xiao Min, rest assured, he won't bother you again."

  Zheng Xiaomin looked at Chu Tian Shu with a mixture of doubt and suspicion, then finally said in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Chu."

  "Come on! You've been calling me big brother for half a year, and I'm supposed to just sit back and watch my little sister get bullied?"

  Zheng Xiaomin felt an inexplicable excitement and agitation in his heart.

  When taking over the class, Xiaohui quietly told her about Chu Tian Shu's heroic fight against Tian Ke Ming yesterday at noon.

  When Chu Tian Shu said to Tian Ke Ming with great enthusiasm, "Liu Chun Na is my person, even the king of heaven can't move her", although it has been more than ten hours, Xiao Hui's face was still flushed and her voice was dry. Finally, she said with a look of infatuation: "Xiao Min, you didn't see Chu big brother's momentum, it's simply cool to death! I really envy Chun Na sister!"

  At this thought, Zheng Xiaomin couldn't help but let out an unusual glint in her eyes and asked with a trembling voice: "Chu big brother, did you tell Director Tian that I'm your sister? Even the King of Heaven wouldn't be allowed to touch me."

  Chu Tian Shu burst out laughing and shook his head saying: "No."

  Zheng Xiaomin lowered his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

  Chu Tian Shu sensitively captured the change in Zheng Xiao Min's eyes and quickly shifted the topic, asking: "Xiao Min, when you took over, did you see a cardboard box?"

  "Uh-huh, some." Zheng Xiaomin turned around and dragged out a large cardboard box from the storage room on the other side of the wall of the rest room. Judging by her effort, it should be quite heavy.

  Chu Tian Shu walked over and took a look, no mistake, it was indeed it.

  The side of the cardboard box had a conspicuous "jian" character written on it.

  It's indeed a bit heavy after lifting it up.

  Look at the time, it's almost eight o'clock already.

  Chu Tian Shu thought for a moment, took out his phone and called Jian Ruo Ming, saying: "Director Jian, the box has just been found. Is it convenient to send it over now?"

  Jian Ruoming was impatiently waiting at home, and she said in a bad mood: "Chu Tian Shu, what can I say about you? You found a broken box, and it took you two hours to find it. That's really something."

  "Director Jian, I... this... " Chu Tian Shu stuttered, unsure of how to explain it to Jian Ruoming.

  "Never mind," Jian Ruoming said sternly, not allowing Chu Tianxiu to explain. "You're drunk and ran over here in the dark, what's the point? Chu Tianxiu, when you sober up, come back then."

  It seems that Jian Ruoming has mistaken Chu Tian Shu for drinking too much.

  Chu Tian Shu forced a bitter smile and hastily replied: "Alright, I'll definitely deliver it tomorrow afternoon."

  Jian Yueming still wasn't at ease and instructed again: "Alright, don't come too early, wait until the effects of the alcohol have completely worn off."

  Chu Tian let out a sigh of relief and instructed Zheng Xiaomin not to tell anyone about today's events, as if nothing had happened. From now on, don't listen to others' flattery, you must learn to protect yourself.

  Zheng Xiaomin nodded with tears in her eyes.

  As soon as he came out of the office building, Chu Tian Shu swept away the depression of the past two years, not only did he severely punish Tian Ke Ming, but also rescued himself from the misfortune that had been arranged for him, his mood was refreshed to the extreme. Looking at the time, it was already after 8 o'clock, and he hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he took a taxi and rushed straight to Windy Street.

  Fengqing Street is the most famous snack street in Qingyuan City, and snacks from all over the country can be found on this street at very affordable prices. As a result, every night, Fengqing Street is packed with people, and the booming business often lasts until 2 or 3 am.

  Chu Tian Shu arrived just in time, he found a relatively close-by food stall near the main road and sat down, ordering a few small dishes and three bottles of beer, savoring each bite.

  Before long, there were more and more people on the street of romance.

  The surrounding stalls were crowded with people.

  Drinking and playing fist games, the sound of calling friends and shouting is loud and clear, the whole street is bustling with excitement, and the noise of people's voices is deafening.

  Chu Tian Shu's drinking capacity is not bad, drinking beer is almost like drinking plain water. After grinding with Tian Ke Ming for over an hour, his mouth was really thirsty. So, after more than half an hour, there were already five empty bottles under their feet.

  Just as they were enjoying their food and drink, a quarrelsome voice was heard from far away.

  Quarrels are also a unique landscape of Windy Street, and it's rare for a night to pass without three or five quarrels.

  It's rare for someone like Chu Tian Shu to drink alone, most people usually gather in groups of three or five, sitting together and eating and drinking excessively, sometimes getting drunk, bumping into each other, disagreeing on words and expressions, which can easily lead to quarrels. Fortunately, there are always a few sober ones in the group, after a few arguments, someone will intervene and calm things down, then they continue their excessive eating and drinking.

  It sounds like the people arguing are a man and a woman.

  This phenomenon often occurs among couples, where the woman scolds her partner in public for drinking too much, saying something wrong, or being physically rough.

  However, today seems a bit unusual, with the male voice being louder and the female voice being very low.

  Chu Tian Shu raised her head and looked in the direction of the quarrel, but it was too far away to see clearly. The woman's back seemed a bit like Liu Chun Na, who was arguing with a tall and thin man about something.

  Chu Tian Shu didn't mind either. Liu Chun Na was the typical local, and there were too many girls in Qing Yuan City who looked like her.

  He drank two more cups by himself, and the quarrel grew louder. Chu Tian Shu couldn't help but frown, how could they keep arguing in front of so many people? So, he stretched his neck to take a look, that tall and thin man was pulling and tugging with that girl.

  After a closer look, Chu Tian Shu saw clearly that the one who was arguing and pulling was indeed Liu Chun Na, and the man's movements were quite big.

  Chu Tian Shu was displeased, how could a big man like him have the nerve to fight with a girl?

  He stood up wanting to leave, but was pulled back by the boss's wife. She accompanied him with a smile and said: "Boss, didn't you buy the bill before leaving?"

  Chu Tian Shu pulled out a red ticket and handed it to her, saying: "Don't look for money first, keep the seat for me. The one who is quarreling is my friend, I'll go and persuade him and then come back to continue drinking."

  The boss's wife took the money and stopped talking.

  While Chu Tian Shu was talking to the boss's wife, Liu Chun Na was pulled by that man under the tree shadow of Feng Qing Street entrance and exit, where a car was parked. The man seemed to want to pull Liu Chun Na into the car, but she refused. Several times she tried to leave, but was caught by the man, with one hand still on her body.

  Liu Chunna was both angry and anxious, and she pushed the man hard.

  The man was furious and slapped Liu Chunna in the face.

  Liu Chunna almost fell to the ground with a stumble.

  The tall and thin man lifted his foot and was about to kick.

  Chu Tian Shu took a few swift steps forward and grabbed the tall, thin man, but because he used too much force, the thin man lost his balance and fell onto the car beside him.

  Chu Tian Shu couldn't bear to entangle with him anymore and bent down to help Liu Chunna up.
