Tiger Vanguard just took a look at who was so annoying and always grabbed its tail, and didn't care much about it.
After shaking its tail to regain its freedom, it lay down obediently behind Du Ruo's chair again, quietly, without even a roaring sound from its chest. Only the occasional flick of its tail proved that it was not a doll.
"It's okay. It just got here and is still a little unfamiliar. Don't worry about it."
Du Ruo poured another cup of tea for the two brothers to calm them down.
To be honest, he specifically reminded Tiger Pioneer when the two of them went upstairs, for fear that it would scare others. He just didn't expect that his cousin would be so bored that he had to catch its tail.
"Hehe...hehe..."
Brother Quan forced a smile meaninglessly. It was impossible to experience the feeling of oppression without actually facing the tiger face to face, especially since the tiger vanguard was much bigger than an ordinary tiger.
"Okay, go down first and let Qiqi bring you some iced beef."
She was more considerate to Yuanyuan. She touched the tiger's head with her little hand and let it go down first. She realized that with the tiger here, the two of them would not be able to completely relax.
When Brother Quan saw Xiang Yuanyuan patting the tiger's big head, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Hoho~"
Tiger Vanguard wagged his tail and stood up from the ground as soon as he heard that there was food. He rubbed his hands on Xiang Yuanyuan's and then turned and walked towards the indoor stairs.
"Is it...Is it allowed to keep tigers in this country now?"
When my cousin saw this scene, he couldn't help but mutter something.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Sorry, my cousin doesn't understand anything."
Brother Quan scolded his cousin and then smiled at the two of them.
Just kidding, the waters in China are very deep. Some cultural relics that can only be found in museums can be found in homes. It’s just raising a tiger. As long as no one reports it, no one will care.
"Well, it's okay, wife, have you finished reading it?"
Du Ruo just smiled and didn't explain anything. Instead, he started to change the subject.
"Yeah, no problem."
Xiang Yuanyuan had obviously only flipped through a few pages, but after Du Ruo asked her, she nodded and closed the document.
"Then I'll ask the finance department to transfer the money. There will also be a document for these. I'll send them all to you later so you can verify and check them at any time."
Brother Quan was very frank and told everyone what happened next. After that he drank a sip of tea to help himself recover from what happened with the tiger.
To be honest, he had never had the idea of cooking the books. After all, it was he who asked Du Ruo for help at the critical moment. Although he had never seen Du Ruo take action, he did benefit from it.
All along, no matter what he did or applied for, he was always given the green light, and he was also often invited to participate in activities in various places.
He knew very well that although these were not necessarily caused by Du Ruo, they were definitely related. More importantly, Du Ruo might not necessarily bring him benefits, but it would be extremely easy for him to bring him some harm. So he decided that unless he encountered a crisis next time that Du Ruo could not solve, he would never make any plans.
"Well, there's no rush. Have some tea."
Du Ruo just nodded. He didn't pay much attention to the number of dividends Brother Quan said would be. These were no longer important to him, but he still had a good impression of Brother Quan.
"By the way, I have a guest coming later."
Du Ruo refilled Brother Quan's tea and said something casually.
"Haha, that's perfect. I have to rush to attend an event later, so we won't bother you for now."
When Brother Quan heard this, he thought Du Ruo wanted to see him off, so he didn't hesitate and picked up the tea, ready to drink it and leave.
"Sit down, sit down, sit down. Come and listen together later. It's up to you what you can gain."
Du Ruo waved his hand, motioning the other party to sit down.
The reason why he agreed to Brother Quan and even bought shares in the end was partly because of fate, but also because Brother Quan was very humble. In addition, Du Ruo also wanted to give his family some security, so he agreed.
But after the subsequent contact with Brother Quan, the feeling was pretty good. At least Du Ruo didn't feel disgusted or anything like that, so Du Ruo didn't mind giving him some chances.
Du Ruo had already heard that the car driven by the fox would be coming over soon.
"it is good."
Brother Quan was stunned for a moment and glanced at Du Ruo, wanting to see something, but after a careful look, he felt a little uncomfortable and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Cousin"
Brother Quan glanced at his cousin sitting next to him, thought about it, and shouted.
"Huh?? What's wrong, bro?"
My cousin was a little stunned and turned to look at Brother Quan.
"Go buy me a pack of cigarettes in town."
Brother Quan drank a sip of tea and decided to send his cousin away. As for why...
"Ah, brother, do you smoke? Then what cigarettes should I buy?"
If it was Mr. Wang's secretary, he would have taken the initiative to buy cigarettes when he saw Du Ruo pouring tea, but my cousin was a little confused and even had to ask what kind of cigarettes he wanted to buy.
"Buy any kind, but buy the kind that only takes an hour to buy!!"
Brother Quan twitched the corner of his mouth and said something in a bad mood.
"okay……"
At this point, my cousin finally reacted and stood up to go downstairs.
As my cousin stood up, the sound of a vehicle was heard outside.
After a while, Fox, Mr. Wang and the familiar middle-aged secretary were invited to the second floor by Li Qiyao.
Also coming up here was Tiger Pioneer, who had just finished his meal downstairs.
"Mr. Du, I'm here to ask for some wine again. I hope I'm not disturbing you."
When Old Wang saw Du Ruo, he greeted him with a smile. If it weren't for the expressionless Fox and the secretary with little presence standing beside him, he would have looked like an ordinary old man.
"Hoho~~"
Hu Xianfeng acted as if no one was around and didn't care whether Old Wang was talking or not. He squeezed past Old Wang to the balcony and then lay down next to Du Ruo.
But this time, it must be because it was full, so when it lay down, even its belly was exposed. Not only that, it also kept looking at Du Ruo, as if hoping that Du Ruo would rub its belly.
"Grandpa Wang brought a lot of medicinal herbs. I'll go and clean them up."
After Li Qiyao brought the person up, she prepared to go downstairs. Xiang Yuanyuan also greeted Mr. Wang and followed her downstairs.
"I've been waiting all morning. Let's drink the wine later. Let's have some tea first."
Du Ruo didn't even look at Tiger Pioneer. He stood up, greeted him, and made a gesture of invitation.
"Sit here, old man."
Brother Quan quickly stood up, gave up his seat, and sat in the corner.
Mr. Wang didn't say much, just nodded to Brother Quan, didn't ask any more questions, and then sat down. The secretary behind him happened to sit in the seat where his cousin had just sat, but he was not so impatient. Even when Tiger Vanguard's tail was wagging in front of him, he didn't even look away.
On the contrary, the fox did not sit down, but stood aside, looking at the huge tiger on the ground who was acting really cute.
"Mr. Du, I want to apologize for coming here this time. We were inconsiderate about what happened yesterday."
After Mr. Wang sat down, without any formalities, he served tea and apologized.
"Um"
Du Ruo nodded, then raised the tea and took a sip, but did not speak. Instead, he continued to sit there quietly, waiting for the other party to continue speaking. "A few days ago, an old boss of mine almost died. At the last minute, he took a special pill and his life was extended by half a year."
Unexpectedly, after putting down the teacup, General Wang started talking to himself.
But when he opened his mouth, he said too much information. Moreover, Mr. Wang did not finish speaking, nor did he care about other people's reactions. He just continued speaking:
"You know, we old guys are most afraid of death. Now that we have this opportunity, we all want to struggle a little longer, so we proposed the idea of full promotion."
When Mr. Wang said this, his back seemed not to be as straight as before, and he did not look at Du Ruo's face. He just looked at the remaining tea in the cup.
However, he said it lightly, but the other three people except Du Ruo had a lot of thoughts in their minds, as there was too much information in these words.
But Mr. Wang did not stop talking, and continued:
"But we old guys are not the only ones who have the final say. There are still many people in their prime who want to make a difference. That's why what happened yesterday happened."
"Heh~ Why are you talking to a lazy person like me about these things?"
Du Ruo said nonchalantly.
Regarding yesterday's incident, although the other party was calculating, he was still very careful about the degree. At least Du Ruo did not feel unhappy. In particular, the arrival of Tiger Vanguard did make Xiang Yuanyuan very happy. Du Ruo also had a purpose at home, so he did not express too much after showing his methods yesterday.
It was also because he hated the twists and turns in officialdom that he stayed in the mountain village and ignored what was happening outside.
"It is necessary to explain."
Only then did Old Wang smile. At least he could see that Du Ruo was not angry about this matter.
"By the way, we brought some tiger-related documents with us today."
As Mr. Wang was speaking, the secretary beside him took out some documents and placed them on the table.
"Ah."
Du Ruo didn't even look at it, he just picked up the freshly boiled water and made tea by himself. He knew that the other party was just expressing his attitude. Although the other party bluntly put those things on the table, that was definitely not the ultimate reason why the other party came.
"Haha, actually, this time I came here not only to apologize, but also to ask for something."
Seeing that Du Ruo's replies were always indifferent, Mr. Wang simply stopped saying anything else and wanted to directly tell them everything that happened during this trip. The main reason was that Du Ruo's previous performance had left such a deep impression on them.
Du Ruo's performance yesterday also showed that he knew everything and knew that there was no point in hiding in front of Du Ruo.
"As for the comprehensive promotion of martial arts, we need an opportunity now, so we want to take advantage of Mr. Du's previous fame on the Internet. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to release more videos or show some strength online."
"Forget about the video. Traffic and other things are in your hands. You also have many talented people. If you randomly promote someone, the effect will not be worse than mine. You just want this. I can give it to you, but... what do you want in exchange?"
Du Ruo refused directly. He had been popular on the Internet for a while and had enjoyed that feeling. It was enough to experience this kind of thing. There was no need to cause trouble for himself at this time.
When Du Ruo was talking about the latter part, he waved his hand and a stack of information flew out from the study and finally landed lightly in his hands.
However, he did not hand it over directly. Instead, he placed it on the table, pressed it with his finger, and then looked at Mr. Wang.
"Forehead……"
Old Wang glanced at Du Ruo, then looked at the stack of information under Du Ruo's fingers. He felt even more relieved and was somewhat glad that he had apologized first today.
Their original plan was that it would be best if Du Ruo agreed, at least they could test that Du Ruo also wanted to promote martial arts. If Du Ruo refused, it would also be consistent with their assumptions about Du Ruo's character, so it would not be so abrupt to make some other requests at the same time.
However, Du Ruo's omnipotence and omniscience seemed to have no limits, as if anything in the world could be hidden from Du Ruo.
Their so-called confidentiality and planning seemed as ridiculous as elementary school students cheating in an exam in front of Du Ruo.
Du Ruo simply put what the other party needed in front of them, then took the initiative and let them make their own conditions.
"..."
Old Wang looked at Du Ruo and opened his mouth several times, but nothing came out.
All the ideas, psychologists' speculations and think tanks' suggestions were useless at this moment. Mr. Wang felt a rare sense of powerlessness.
"You can take this first. When you have thought of the conditions, come and tell me."
Seeing Mr. Wang’s expression, Du Ruo pushed his finger forward and pushed the information in front of Mr. Wang.
"That……"
Old Wang was looking at the information and was about to speak to test Du Ruo's purpose, but he was interrupted by Du Ruo waving his hand before he could even ask.
"I discovered when I went up the mountain a few days ago that there was an influx of wild boars in Huangshan. I also noticed it yesterday. Now the balance of nature has been disrupted.
The land, the sea, and even the rats in the city may behave in ways you never expected, and the subsequent impacts may exceed your so-called power and interests.
If you don't handle it properly, it may lead to your irreparable destruction.
This is the most basic and most suitable method for public practice that I created after summarizing my practice process.
I've given you the things, and I'll leave it at that. If the situation gets out of control, I might take action myself. At that time, it's up to you to decide whether technology and personal force will complement each other and develop together, or whether civilization will retreat."
That’s right, what Du Ruo just gave out was the most needed basic training method, which he spent an hour writing last night.
Nowadays, the cultivation methods of various schools and sects are too diverse. What Du Ruo gave last time was just the most basic introduction to martial arts training. It is impossible to achieve full promotion by just relying on that.
Because if they want to promote martial arts comprehensively, they must come up with something shocking.
However, what can ultimately be taught to others is only the most basic introduction to martial arts. A complete and systematic method of basic training is the foundation for the comprehensive promotion of martial arts.
And this is something only Du Ruo can give.
As for other things, whether it's Taoism, Buddhism or traditional martial arts, they are almost lost. Even for those extraordinary people who have emerged after the revival of spiritual energy, many of them do not have a systematic approach to their practice.
Let them summarize, no one of them will be convinced by the other, and even if it takes time and effort to create it, it still requires certain experiments. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but the quality cannot be compared with Du Ruo.
This is also the main reason why Mr. Wang came here today.
"Don't worry, I will convey your words to the higher-ups without missing a word."
Mr. Wang couldn't care about anything else at this time. He got the things, but he couldn't be happy.
There was a lot of information revealed in Du Ruo's words. The things they noticed before were no longer on those animals.
Although Du Ruo told them that the first things to be affected would be animals and plants, they did not take it seriously because they had guns and other things, so these things should not be that difficult to deal with.
But the words Du Ruo just mentioned, such as ecological changes, sewers, and oceans, made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Well, so what I want from you is to not focus on power and profit, but to ensure that order is maintained. Then you will get everything you want."
At the end of his speech, Du Ruo stared into Mr. Wang's eyes and said very seriously:
"The world needs spiritual energy to revive. This cannot be stopped. It is not something that I or the country can stop. Similarly, the world also needs gods to manage the world on its behalf. The gods in the past were all losers and have been abandoned by the world. Now this era has just begun, and everyone has a chance to turn things around."
When he got to this point, Du Ruo slowed down his speech and finally said word by word:
"This is a new Conferred God List. Everything that happens is recorded. Immortality? Power? Do you still need to plan for these?"
Undoubtedly, the destructive power of Du Ruo's words was enormous.
Not only Mr. Wang, but even Fox and the middle-aged secretary who had been silent and had no sense of presence were breathing rapidly and their eyes were shining.
Only Brother Quan was a little confused, but he was extremely smart and sorted out everything. His breathing couldn't help but become heavy.
Everyone can tell something about the story of the Investiture of the Gods in mythology, no matter if they are eighty or eight years old.
For ordinary people, perhaps cultivation is the only way, but for the few people on the scene, it is completely different. They have the ability and resources, and can decide some things to a certain extent. They seem to be able to become the protagonists of this era.
"Ok…ok, I get it."
Mr. Wang had forgotten the last time he was so nervous. He tremblingly picked up the papers on the table and did not hand them to the middle-aged secretary, but just held them in his hands.
At this moment, his heart was really confused.
