29: Chapter 29 My Best Friend Drove a Land Rover

That night. Inside the Gardener Residential Complex. In a barbecue restaurant.

Two couples sat opposite each other, the table piled high with meat. The aroma was overflowing, filling the room, and empty wine bottles lay scattered around the table.

"Old Fang, thanks to you this time, I got into the Tengfei Martial Arts Hall." Wang Meng was a bit tipsy, swaying as he spoke. His wife was by his side holding him up, complaining from time to time and telling him to drink less.

Fang Zhuo was still sober.

At the school's job fair during the day, he hadn't hesitated much in the end and had chosen the offer from the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, already signing the contract.

From now on, he could consider himself to have an annual salary of over a million!

Fang Zhuo couldn't help but sigh. Less than half a month ago, he was still worried about getting his position as a junior instructor at the Tengfei Martial Arts Hall confirmed. When he didn't pass, he had lost hope for the martial path.

Life's fortunes are sometimes really hard to explain.

Bai Shiwei sat beside Fang Zhuo, occasionally picking up grilled meat and placing it into Fang Zhuo's bowl.

"This is meat from a Fire Fox beast from the Origin Star. I heard it's very good for nourishing yang energy... Hubby, you should eat more."

Bai Shiwei was in a good mood today. Firstly, she had signed an A-grade contract with the Shanhe Group, and the other party had agreed to her conditions: she wouldn't have to go to the Origin Star within half a year.

Although, in terms of compensation, it was a significant drop. The original total of five years, with six million in resources per year, had shrunk to three years at three million per year, and the assessment after half a year was even stricter.

"You're too kind, Mengzi. I didn't really help with anything." Fang Zhuo was getting a bit tired of eating, but Bai Shiwei kept piling the Fire Fox meat onto his plate, so he had no choice but to shove another bite into his mouth.

"Your influence was a huge help. If it weren't for you, that manager at the Tengfei Martial Arts Hall wouldn't have even looked at me, and even his secretary wouldn't have given me a second glance." Wang Meng's words came out a bit rushed as the alcohol went to his head.

Wang Lian tugged on Wang Meng, stopping her husband with a look, then immediately smiled and said to Fang Zhuo: "Please excuse him. Wang Meng doesn't have a high tolerance for alcohol. He owes his job at the Tengfei Martial Arts Hall to you, so I'll toast you on his behalf."

"You're too kind." Fang Zhuo was about to raise his glass and down it.

Bai Shiwei took Fang Zhuo's glass first and laughed: "Fang Zhuo has also had too much to drink, so I'll have this drink for him."

...

"Are you unhappy?" On the way home, Fang Zhuo, reeking of alcohol, walked side by side with Bai Shiwei.

"No, I just don't really like the smell of alcohol," Bai Shiwei said bluntly.

"I see... I thought you were sulking because of the genius contract matter." Fang Zhuo smiled. Bai Shiwei's contract with the Shanhe Group was an A-grade contract, which normally would have allowed her to receive about thirty million in cultivation resources in batches over several years.

But because of the added condition of not going to the Origin Star within half a year, the compensation had shrunk by two-thirds.

"How could that be? If I wasn't happy, I wouldn't have agreed to it this morning." Bai Shiwei took Fang Zhuo's hand and continued: "This is actually quite good. Having a six-month buffer period to improve my strength will make it safer when I go to fight on the Origin Star."

"Besides, my family will fully support me from now on, five million a year. So, in terms of resources, I'm actually not that lacking."

"As long as you can see it that way, that's good." Fang Zhuo looked at Bai Shiwei. His wife had a stubborn personality, but she was actually quite easy to communicate with.

...

The next day. Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei were doing their morning exercises as usual.

"Buzz~~~" The phone on the table vibrated. Fang Zhuo looked and saw it was his.

"Bank account ending in 8114 has received 2,000,000. Account balance: 2,490,080. Remark: Shi Wei, let Dad know once you've received the money."

"Your dad transferred 2 million." Fang Zhuo smiled: "What do you want? I'll buy it for you right now."

Strictly speaking, this money belonged to Bai Shiwei. If he bought martial arts cultivation resources through his own hands, could he trigger the system refund after Bai Shiwei consumed them?

"The sun-moon pill!" Bai Shiwei seemed to have planned this for a while, looking at him with eager eyes: "As for my physical foundation, the ice-flame marrow-cleansing fruit, vitality booster, and bone strengthening pill you bought me last time have already patched things up pretty well."

"I want to make a push for my Life Level!"

"The sun-moon pill... that is indeed a good choice." Fang Zhuo nodded. This sun-moon pill contained abundant source energy and was infused with a bit of sun and moon essence. For a martial artist who had awakened the Heaven-Swallowing Python Martial Aspect, it was the most suitable martial arts pill. On the Blue Moon Federation's official website, a single sun-moon pill sold for 1.2 million!

"Actually, one would have been enough." Bai Shiwei saw Fang Zhuo place an order for two on the spot and felt a bit pained: "This sun-moon pill is too expensive! And we don't know how effective it will be yet...!"

"Products from the Starry Sky Martial Artist Group are guaranteed, so just rest assured." Fang Zhuo wasn't particularly worried. The reputation of the Federation's number one martial artist group was guaranteed, and besides, only the Starry Sky Martial Artist Group could produce these sun-moon pills. If you wanted to use them, you just had to grit your teeth and buy them. Besides, taking a step back, if the effect didn't meet expectations, he had the system refund, so he wouldn't lose out in any case.

"I'm heading out to the company. You keep an eye out for the delivery." After telling Bai Shiwei, Fang Zhuo went out, preparing to head to the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall to report for duty and submit his employment documents.

"Okay~" Regarding Fang Zhuo joining the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall and getting a monthly salary of eighty thousand, Bai Shiwei was quite happy, but not surprised. After all, she already knew Fang Zhuo's strength. Among Intermediate Martial Artists, he was definitely considered an expert. Plus, he was young and came from a Martial Arts Junior College, which in some respects, could serve as a sign for the martial arts hall to recruit students.

"Want a monthly income of 80,000? Join our Shanhe Martial Arts Hall and sign up for Coach Fang Zhuo's class! Even if you didn't get into a Martial Arts Undergraduate program in the college entrance exam, and only got into a Martial Arts Junior College, don't be disappointed. There are still infinite possibilities for the future!" A promotional line immediately popped into Bai Shiwei's mind, and she couldn't help but smile.

...

The Bai family.

"Shi Wei hasn't replied to my message. I'm skeptical about whether that anonymous card she left is actually hers." Bai Qiming exhaled a large puff of smoke and looked at his wife: "Do you think it might be that brat Fang Zhuo's card?"

If it weren't for the fact that Fang Zhuo had also awakened a Superior Martial Aspect, broken through 6 levels of Life Level in a row, rushed into the Intermediate Martial Artist level, and achieved Body Micro-Control, he would have suspected that Fang Zhuo was a con artist who used blind dates to swindle money and women...

Xu Xue lay on the sofa, her slender legs resting on a low stool. Hearing this, she rolled her eyes at her husband: "Does it matter? It's the same whoever manages the money for a young couple."

"Just like your money, it's all allocated by me." Xu Xue hummed softly, looking slightly dissatisfied. She was in charge of the family finances, so why hadn't her daughter inherited her strengths? She actually let a man manage the money!

"Buzz~" Just as she was thinking about it, Xu Xue's phone vibrated.

"Qianqian? Hmm, what is it? Shi Wei and Fang Zhuo? They are doing great. I understand what you mean, but Fang Zhuo has awakened a Superior Martial Aspect, so don't ask about it again in the future. Auntie doesn't like it."

"What's going on?" Bai Qiming was a bit confused.

"Shi Wei's good friend, the one who told us before that Shi Wei had awakened a Martial Aspect. She also feels that Fang Zhuo isn't good enough for Shi Wei, and she's been hinting in every way for me to break them up." Xu Xue looked quite helpless.

On the other end of the line. Zhao Qianqian had just dropped her sister off at the Tengfei Martial Arts Hall and was walking to the parking lot. She held the phone, frozen in mid-air.

He also awakened a Superior Martial Aspect? How is that possible! Since when was a Superior Martial Aspect so easy to awaken? Not to mention that Fang Zhuo was just a Martial Arts Junior College student!

"Beep~ Beep!!" "Miss, please move aside." "Oh, sorry." Zhao Qianqian hurriedly stepped to the side, then got into her car with a chaotic mind and drove away.

Along the way, her mind kept flashing back to the scene when she met Fang Zhuo while taking her sister to sign up at the Tengfei Martial Arts Hall. Muscles and bones resonating, Body Micro-Control, power multiplier over 4 times!

If Fang Zhuo really had awakened a Superior Martial Aspect, wouldn't that make him the type of genius with extremely strong combat power? Shi Wei... she really has good luck. Zhao Qianqian felt a mixture of emotions, and her car swayed slightly.

A few minutes later, as she passed in front of the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall not far away, by some coincidence, Zhao Qianqian turned her head to look at the rearview mirror.

She happened to see a familiar figure in the lobby. Fang Zhuo was wearing a blue and white coach uniform with two ink-colored long swords embroidered on his chest.

"Intermediate Instructor?!" Zhao Qianqian slammed on the brakes, ignoring the honking from behind. She placed her hands on the steering wheel, turned her head, and widened her eyes.

After confirming it was the Fang Zhuo from her memory, she murmured: "Auntie Xu Xue didn't lie to me. It's actually true."

Her best friend really was driving a Range Rover now.
