Caesar suddenly felt his ears itchy. He rubbed his itchy ears consciously, and then suddenly realized that this action seemed to lose the momentum he had accumulated with great difficulty.
He rubbed his chin again and chuckled in an intriguing way, "No, this is not a threat, it's a friendly reminder."
"Oh, all right."
Si Wang nodded and called out to the [Aphid] that was about to bite through the eardrum and get into Caesar's brain, "Besides this, is there anything else you want to talk to me about today?"
“Don’t be polite, just tell me!” As if afraid that Caesar would be embarrassed, Si Wang waved his hand and patted his chest. However, his words were completely different from his big brother aura of “I’ll take care of everything”. “I will definitely help wherever I can!”
"..."
Caesar was silent. He now suspected that Si Wang was still playing tricks on him, and he also suspected that Si Wang had some serious brain disease.
"Well, why are you suddenly silent?" Si Wang waved his right hand in front of Caesar's face and asked worriedly, "Is he still alive?"
Well, it’s certain that the guy opposite is playing tricks on him!
"call!"
Caesar took a deep breath, resisted the urge to punch the smiling face opposite him, and said with a fake smile, "I have already said everything I need to say. Since you are willing to act foolishly with those little brats, then please be prepared to bear the price of your foolishness!"
"Oh well."
Si Wang retracted his waving right hand, leaned forward, knocked on the glass of the peep window embedded in the soundproof board in front of him, and said loudly, "Master, please turn at the intersection ahead and take me to the [Chai Guan Ramen Restaurant] on the First Avenue of Lower Abydos."
"..."
"...Why are you looking at me so seriously?" Seeing Caesar staring at him, Si Wang was puzzled. He looked himself up and down and asked in confusion, "I have remembered to wear the seat belt."
"Si Wang——!"
The muscles on Caesar's cheeks twitched. He looked at Si Wang, who had no intention of getting out of the car. He unconsciously exerted force with his fingers, and the goblet between his knuckles made an ominous squeak. "Since you have rejected my kindness, shouldn't you also get out of my car!"
"There's no need to be so angry. As the saying goes, 'Even if the deal doesn't work out, there's still friendship.'"
Si Wang didn't take Caesar's rage too seriously. He patted the silver-white briefcase that he had stuffed back into the backrest, making a harsh thumping sound. "How can you, the representative director of Caesar Group and the director of Caesar Corporation, Caesar Loan, and Caesar Construction, be so petty? Otherwise, you can just treat this money you gave me as travel expenses."
Clap!
The transparent goblet shattered into a pool of glass shards in Caesar's palm.
Inhale, exhale, inhale again, exhale again... After Caesar repeated this action several times, he finally suppressed the blood rushing to his head with great effort and the murderous intent to take out the pistol under the seat and shoot a hole in Si Wang's forehead.
At the same time, a strong sense of vigilance arose in my heart.
This [Xia Lai]'s teacher... is completely different from the one described in his intelligence profile.
Gentle, patient, friendly...it's not exactly the same, but it's just a long way off.
Indifference, harshness, cynicism, sarcasm, etc., etc., instead overflowed from every word and expression of his!
If the other party did not have schizophrenia, Caesar seriously suspected that this teacher [Xia Lai] was deliberately provoking him, waiting for him to do something inappropriate and then leave evidence to deliberately blackmail him, so as to force him to quit Abydos.
The more Caesar thought about it, the more it made sense.
In a head-on confrontation, Abydos and Xialai would definitely not be his match. Only those who take unconventional and desperate gambles have a chance to survive.
Caesar couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
What a childish behavior, Xia Lai's teacher.
Regardless of whether he would fall into a low-level trap, the Caesar Group's decades-long plan would not stop because of a mere "Xia Lai"!
After figuring this out, Caesar suddenly felt refreshed. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped off the glass shards in his palm, and smiled calmly, "Of course the Caesar Group won't be so stingy, teacher."
He pressed the communication button on the inside of the door handle, "Drive, go to the First Avenue of Abydos first, and take our teacher to the outside of [Chaiguan Ramen Shop]."
The next second, the driver's respectful voice came from the speaker on the window sill, "Got it, Director Caesar."
Si Wang looked at Caesar with some confusion. He suddenly became inexplicably confident, as if he had occupied the IQ high ground. He put on a condescending attitude, sympathizing with and yet looking down on him.
Never mind. It’s not an important matter anyway.
Si Wang quickly put his slight doubt behind him and casually leaned his head against the back of the car seat.
Anyway, his own [Aphids] can occupy Caesar's IQ high ground in a rational sense at any time.
Let him watch if he wants to. It won’t hurt him anyway.
On the contrary, you can take a piece of meat off the other person's head at any time.
In comparison, the black oval head standing behind the Caesar Group is more troublesome.
Although the opponent's purpose is already known, it is Hoshino Kotori who is targeting.
But what's the reason?
If the cause is not resolved, even if the problem is solved perfectly this time, it seems to be only a temporary solution and there will always be a next time.
So should I find an opportunity to meet him and have a good chat?
Looking at the street scene rapidly receding outside the window, Si Wang touched his chin thoughtfully.
Chapter 121: Kuromi Serika: Stop making noise, the foreman is calling me to move bricks!
"teacher."
The waiter gently opened the car door and bowed to Si Wang with an apologetic look on his face. "The road ahead is under construction. I can only take you here. I'm really sorry."
"fine."
Si Wang jumped out of the car with a whoosh, patted the wrinkles on his pants and skin, turned around and smiled broadly at Caesar, "Then thank you for the ride, the representative director of Caesar PMC and the director of Caesar Corporation, Caesar Loan, and Caesar Construction. I wish you realize your dream and become the CEO of Caesar Group soon~"
"Humph!"
Caesar didn't bother to respond to Si Wang's sincere blessing. He just sneered and waved to the driver in the front seat.
The next second, the dark car window rose up at a constant speed, reflecting Si Wang's standard smile showing eight teeth.
hum-
The engine hummed, the tires turned, and the bumper at the rear of the car drew a smooth arc, slid along the solid white line on the side of the road, turned around and disappeared at the end of the street.
Si Wang felt the [Aphids] getting farther and farther away from him, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, supported himself with the roadblock covered with yellow and black warning lines behind him, completed a beautiful side flip, and landed on the First Avenue that was beaten to pieces by Gehenna's [Discipline Committee].
At a glance, the large pieces of rubble and building ruins have been cleared and piled on the unused open space on both sides of the road. Only a few tiny debris are scattered randomly on the road, but the basic traffic conditions are almost met. Except for a few mortar pits that have not yet been buried, the impact on the entry and exit of vehicles is not too great.
It’s less than three hours, the efficiency is really high.
Si Wang picked up the broom and dustpan leaning against the street lamp and began to sweep up the gravel and debris in the middle of the road. He poured them into the compartment of a tricycle parked on the side of the road, and banged it twice on the guardrail to shake out the dust in the dustpan.
Could it be that the local environment and climate determine the local people? Since wars were quite frequent, not only the weapons, but also the post-war cleanup and reconstruction developed rapidly compared to the outside world.
While Si Wang was cleaning the street, he began his daily routine of aimless thinking.
"teacher!?"
A scream woke Si Wang's attention. He turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from. Kuromi Serika, who was covered in dust, was standing not far away.
The girl was wearing a yellow safety helmet full of scratches. The mask soaked with sweat was tightly covering her nose and mouth. Her hands and feet were also wearing thick work gloves and work shoes.
Only a pair of wine-red eyes full of suspicion were exposed, as if he was wondering if he was hallucinating.
"Hey, Serika-san, good afternoon~"
Si Wang waved the broom and dustpan in his hands at Hei Jian Qinxiang, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to the girl's hands.
There, Kuromi Serika was dragging a bag of cement powder that was bigger than her in her left hand, and holding a pile of neatly stacked red bricks in her right hand.
This must be more than a hundred kilograms in total...
Si Wang suddenly thought that the reason why the streets were cleared so quickly was probably that frequent gunfights were just a less important factor; personal quality was probably the key.
Even tractors can't pull this far!
"Didn't the teacher tell you not to come over and just go back and have a good rest? Why did you come anyway?"
The girl put the thing in her hand against the wheel of the tricycle. With a thud, Si Wang clearly felt the vibration coming from the sole of his shoe.
While complaining, Kuromi Serika snatched the broom and dustpan from Si Wang's hands without any hesitation, but the corners of her mouth, which she tried hard to suppress, still couldn't help but curl up into a happy arc.
"Well, look!"
Kuromi Serika took off her mask and helmet, exhaled heavily, and then immediately looked at the several cuts on Si Wang's coat with distressed eyes, "The clothes have been torn several times here and there!"
Si Wang raised his arm and looked down at where the girl was looking. "Is there?"
"Of course there is, right here and here! Just by touching it, I can tell that this fabric is so expensive." The girl took off her gloves, touched the white threads that were sticking up, and showed a distressed expression, "Really, don't come out to do this kind of heavy work when you're wearing this kind of clothes, teacher!"
"Uh... I think that when facing a teacher who comes to help out of kindness, even if we can't praise him, we should at least... OK, I was wrong."
Facing the girl's fierce glare that indicated "One who doesn't manage a household doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are", Si Wang immediately raised his hands in surrender.
...Qingxiang, I didn't expect you to have such a motherly temperament.
Si Wang looked down at the two furry cat ears that were swaying right under his nose and almost poking his chin, and he sighed inwardly.
Could it be that it was because of taking care of Hoshino-san and Shirako-san?
Even though he thought so in his heart, Si Wang still tried hard to clarify his innocence, "Qinxiang, although this dress looks expensive, it is actually a little expensive, but it is not as exaggerated as you imagine."
Si Wang looked into Kuromi Serika's eyes with his most sincere eyes, "I bought it at wholesale price, and now I have a hundred identical sets in my closet."
"... Let's not talk about how you bought brand-name products at wholesale prices, teacher." Because Si Wang's remarks were too outrageous, Kuromi Serika couldn't help but complain, "You bought 100 pieces of the same style of clothes at one time. Didn't that store think you were deliberately looking for trouble?"
Kuromi Serika questioned from the bottom of her heart, "Are you kidding me again?!"
"how could be?"
Si Wang glanced at the compartment of [Black Jacket X997] in his system backpack. All the clothes inside were made by [Aphids] after they were eaten by them. "If you don't believe me, when I return to Abydos College, I can give you ten identical ones."
"...Teacher, you're not going to buy ten identical ones just to tease me, are you?"
Kuromi Serika narrowed her eyes, leaned forward slightly, and observed Si Wang's expression with suspicion, "If you really do that, I will be really angry!"
"Really? Look at my sincere eyes." Si Wang squatted down, trying to let the girl see the true feelings in his eyes more clearly, and said confidently, "Do I look like someone who would do such a boring thing?!"
Because the distance was too close, the smell of Si Wang's shampoo, shower gel, or something strange drifted into her nose, and Kuromi Qinxiang's face flushed and felt hot.
Then the girl suddenly realized a problem.
Since I can smell the teacher's scent, can the teacher also smell my scent?
Or is it the smell you just had after moving bricks? !
Chapter 122 Si Wang: You won’t take me with you to move bricks?
After this terrible thought popped up in her mind, Kuromi Serika was suddenly startled and quickly stepped back to distance herself from Si Wang. At the same time, she waved her hands to stop the teacher who tried to come forward and ask her what happened suddenly.
"Teacher, teacher, I believe you! Isn't it enough that I believe you!?"
The girl's voice rose an octave. "Just stand there and talk to me. No need to get any closer! Really no need to get any closer!!"
A question mark popped up in Si Wang’s head.
"No, Serika-san, please give me my broom and dustpan first."
Si Wang looked at the two large bags of building materials leaning against the tricycle with some melancholy, "Or do you plan to let my little arms and legs help you carry these two large bags back?"
"No, no, no, of course I don't have that idea!"
The girl shook her head like a rattle and quickly rejected Si Wang's terrible accusation. She looked at the broom and dustpan in her hands, and then looked at her head, which was half the height of a person. After hesitating for a while, she approached Si Wang cautiously and said, "Teacher, just stand there and reach out to take it. Don't move."
Seeing the girl subconsciously using her shoulder to wipe away the sweat that had dripped down her chin, Si Wang raised his eyebrows and instantly understood why Kuromi Serika was inexplicably flustered.
"It's just a little bit of sweat, Serika-san. It's embarrassing, but not to the point of being embarrassed."
Si Wang took the broom and dustpan from the girl and tucked them under his armpits. He reached into his trouser pocket and took out a towel from the system backpack.
He squatted in front of Kuromi Serika, held down the girl's shoulders which subconsciously shrank back with his left hand, and held a towel in his right hand, patiently and carefully wiping away the sweat and dust from the girl's forehead, corners of the eyes, cheeks, chin and neck.
Kuromi Serika's face turned red in an instant.
Si Wang took a step back, looked at Kuromi Serika's clean face, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the smell of labor, the smell of the people, and the smell of glory. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Instead, it should be displayed openly!"
And now Kuromi Qinxiang couldn't hear what Si Wang was saying at all. She just felt her body was hot, her mind was confused, her eyes were dizzy, and the teacher's face...
So close...
It seemed as if I could peck the corner of his smiling mouth if I leaned forward slightly.
So should I lean forward?
Now my head is so confused and dizzy, I'm swaying forward a little bit...
No, no, no, it's normal even if you stumble or fall!
