Chapter 243: Strong and Prosperous
Chapter 243: Strong and Prosperous
Wen Xishu was very uncomfortable.
After bidding farewell to Lao Zheng, Wen Xishu prepared to rest in his own Guita courtyard.
He made some food by himself and then enjoyed it by himself.
In fact, he has not been in this world for long, but he really feels now... as if it has been a long, long time since his last life.
But the pace of my life has changed dramatically.
The level of acceptance of myself in the bunker now is completely different from when I first arrived.
In fact, at this moment, if Wen Xishu was willing to stay in the bunker longer, he would find that he seemed to have everything.
In his previous life, the pain he suffered in his childhood made him long for something.
Now everything is in place.
He has reliable partners, Lao Zheng's character, the strength of Xun Hui, Wen Ren Jing and others... they can all be said to be very reliable.
He also has teachers worth learning from and catching up with.
Of course, there is no love in the bunker, but Wen Xishu thought that he didn’t need it either.
As for supplies, Wen Xishu has climbed the strange tower twelve times so far and has brought countless supplies to the bunker. If it comes to financial freedom... well, financial freedom has not been achieved.
Wen Xishu can be said to be the person least likely to starve to death in the bunker. He brought a lot of supplies, but he is indeed not the richest person in the bunker.
But he felt that life in the bunker was boring, even though there were things like power and money that were worth pursuing and fighting for.
At this moment, reflecting on this, Wen Xishu somewhat understood the old principal.
"The old principal and I are probably really the same kind of people. These things in the bunker seem really boring in the face of the Three Towers War."
As he was thinking this, the temple spirit brought more news.
"Dean, I'm very sorry to interrupt your meal. Before you enjoy your food, I have already made up for the knowledge of the bunker. I had a conversation with Jabbar and learned about the current political ecology of the bunker."
"Now, the son of the William family, William Hockner wishes to visit you."
"Weird Tower Academy? Here?" Wen Xishu was a little curious.
"Yes, he has come to Weird Tower Academy."
The William family is one of the six major families. It is considered the most business-savvy family among the six major families.
Wen Xishu was not interested in anything in the bunker. If he were to move to another place, he would not see guests.
But the young master of the William family could actually find the Weird Tower Academy, which made him a little interested.
"Let him in."
The temple spirit went to greet him immediately, and soon, William Hawkner, who was dressed simply and totally inconsistent with the reputation of the William family, appeared in front of Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu saw William Hawkner’s badge at a glance, which indicated that William Hawkner was still a student at Yuta Academy.
"Dean Wen, my idol, I finally get to meet you. I didn't expect that a big shot like you would actually cook for me personally. The food looks really delicious."
Wen Xishu holds a...subtle contemptuous attitude towards most of the students of Yuta Academy.
This kind of contempt is inappropriate, and he himself knows it is inappropriate, but he still despises it, just like you know that some behaviors are not politically correct, but you can't change them.
"Let's get straight to the point." Wen Xishu didn't accept the small talk.
William Hockner's smile did not diminish in the slightest:
"I came here mainly to admire Dean Wen's demeanor. To be honest, I was really satisfied when you made that kid from the Miyamoto family lose face last time."
William Hawkner sat opposite Wen Xishu in a very familiar manner.
Wen Xishu chewed the food slowly and looked at William Hawkner's smile.
Generally speaking, this kind of look can freeze a person's smile, but Hawkner didn't have that at all, he even smiled more brightly. That kind of joyful smile of seeing an idol didn't seem like an act at all.
At this moment, Wen Xishu felt that this boy was somewhat interesting.
In his previous life, separation of officials and businessmen was the basic principle, but in the bunker, collusion between officials and businessmen was common. William's family controlled countless businesses. The Bunker Industrial and Commercial Bureau was also managed by William's family.
It can be said that the people in William’s family only need to operate the bunker, and they can do well even without climbing the tower.
What's more, there is a fifth elder above him - William Gordon.
Wen Xishu found it amusing that the young master of such a family could be so flattering and could make his fake smile so convincing and flattering.
"Get to the point." Wen Xishu still didn't look happy.
William Hockner says:
"Dean Wen, as my idol, I know your deeds very well. You climbed the tower twelve times, and each time you climbed it, you started with level six completion."
"You know, the survival rate of climbing a normal tower or a strange tower is already very low. And coming back alive with such a high completion rate... the probability is too low, one in a thousand? One in ten thousand? I don't know, but I know one thing, out of one million and one hundred thousand people, not necessarily one can bring back a level six completion rate."
Still flattering, flattery will never fail no matter how many times it is worn.
Although Wen Xishu emphasized the key points, William Hawkner still did not get to the point.
But Wen Xishu had to admit...he felt really comfortable listening to these words. This was exactly the feeling William Hawkner wanted.
Everyone likes to hear the dean's words, and everyone under him praises him, but William Hockner has actually put in some effort to do research over the past few days.
He studied late into the night and used the power of the William family to collect all kinds of information about Dean Wen.
"But do you know what you did? You performed this miracle twelve times in a row. Oh my God, twelve times!"
William Hawkner's expression is so exaggerated that if others see it, they will think it is too pretentious and too deliberate in trying to please.
But if you are the one being flattered, you won’t think so.
William Hockner said in a tone that was once again shaken by intense emotion:
"This... is truly a miracle that cannot be replicated. I can't imagine that there is really someone in this world who can do something that is only theoretically possible, something that can only be achieved with one in a billion... no, one in a trillion."
"You know, your deeds are miracles! You are God!"
Wen Xishu's expression gradually became impatient. Although it sounded great, and he felt like a follower of Xishu's religion seeing his faith, which was really great, but he had to let the boy from William's family know that he didn't care about these things that much.
William Hawkner had been observing all along, and when he saw that Wen Xishu's expression was not happy but angry, he immediately got down to business:
"I can't believe in my entire life that I can do business with a great legend like you."
It turns out that he came here for business.
Wen Xishu was not interested in what was happening in the bunker:
"I reject."
William Hockner pretended not to hear and said:
"I'm attracted by your sea area and all the facilities you brought back... whether it's the boat hut, the hospital, your safe house, and so on..."
"Especially that sea, there are too many business opportunities. Dean Wen, I beg you to give me a chance to work with my idol. I am willing to split the profits 70% to 30%."
Wen Xishu's addiction is back:
"Why am I only 70%?"
He originally thought that William Hockner would say: Seventy percent of it belongs to someone else.
But William Hockner said:
"Then you're 75%?"
This time, it was Wen Xishu's turn to be a little confused. Did he really get the lion's share? "You're so willing to give?"
Hawkner could feel that he had not grasped Wen Xishu's pain point, so he continued to pursue:
"One more thing, Dean Wen, I can help you solve the problem of enrollment rate."
Wen Xishu couldn't help but admire him, worthy of being a member of William's family. He said lightly:
"How are you going to solve it?"
William Hockner says:
"I only have one ability - to spend money."
"I will spend a lot of money and manpower to make the Weird Tower Academy luxurious. Of course, I will also assign psychologists to provide after-school and before-school support for every student in the Weird Tower Academy."
"At the same time, the canteen for the students of Weird Tower Academy will be provided by William's family. I can guarantee that except for the time when they experience Weird Tower, they will be terrified... every minute and every second after class will be enjoyed to the extreme."
"Dean Wen, you have to know that what the William family does is to exchange supplies for various resources, and we have accumulated a lot of resources. No matter how many merit points you have, you have to find a place to use them, right?"
"In the past, although there were abundant supplies, they were all controlled by the upper class. The older generation was nothing and liked to use supplies to control the lower class."
"But now, a great being like you has emerged, and people at the bottom of society no longer care about material things. Once material things are abundant, people no longer live for food and clothing, but for emotional values."
"Your facilities are so lifelike."
"If you let me come, I can guarantee that the students of Weird Tower Academy will be highly motivated to climb the Weird Tower."
This really touched Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu said:
"You paid so much, and you only get so little?"
William Hockner is not greedy at all:
"My great idol, Dean Wen, why do you ask me to pay so much? I just did a little insignificant thing, and you are giving me charity~"
"I've taken a lot. After all, that sea is a huge business opportunity. Besides, there are so many magical facilities that I can use for commercial purposes."
"Even if there is no profit... it is worth it if I can become familiar with you, my idol."
Convinced.
The bunker really has talents from all walks of life.
William Hawkner's remarks made Wen Xishu very convinced.
"After you draft the contract, let me see it."
Whether it is William Hawkner's theory of emotional value after abundant materials or increasing the college's enrollment rate, Wen Xishu is really interested.
Hawkner's attitude is very humble, which is completely different from that of the Miyamoto family.
Wen Xishu thought it was pretty good.
Hawkner was delighted:
"Don't worry, my grandfather and his friends made the wrong choice, but I won't."
Wen Xishu was puzzled:
"What do you mean?"
Hawkner patted his chest and said:
"Dean Wen, I was actually very confused at first. Why did our patriarch choose another bunker legend instead of the old principal?"
"The William family got started in business, and businessmen value vision the most, which is the same as investing. In the end, the head of the family did not choose the old principal. I think this is an extremely failed decision."
"Although the bunker is a safe haven, humans will eventually move out. Only those who can climb the tower are the true owners of the bunker."
"People like you and the old principal are the most important support for the William family's future."
"I hope that I can cooperate with you and serve you in the future, both inside and outside the bunker."
It's quite well organized.
I have to say that few of the people in the six major families are fools. Hawkner has a far-sighted vision. Regardless of whether these words are true or false, they are indeed beautifully said and make people feel comfortable.
Wen Xishu had no reason to refuse.
Not long ago, he was still thinking that he was not the richest, and then... money came to him automatically.
If you are strong, everything will go well for you. This is the bunker.
Therefore, choosing Albert and standing on Wen Xishu's side is the most correct and wisest thing to do. Hawkner believes that he will definitely not be wrong, and he is indeed not wrong.
……
……
After dinner, the ceiling began to simulate dusk.
Wen Xishu was not idle. Since he had not been summoned by the old principal and Mr. Jin, he decided to deal with a small matter.
That's apology and healing.
The student who was driven crazy by the Weird Tower Academy was a resident on the seventh floor of the bunker. Anyone who could live on the seventh floor was indeed a prominent figure.
However, the official was still surprised that Wen Xishu came to apologize in person.
The crazy child is called Xue Mingye.
Wen Xishu originally thought that this student would live in great pain, feel fear all the time, and that was why he went crazy.
But I didn’t expect that the real situation was... Xue Mingye was not crazy, but insane.
"I want to climb the Trickster Tower! I want to see Jennifer! I want to see Jennifer! I want her to torture me and whip me!"
"Hehe, Jennifer is so cute, hehe, hehehe."
As soon as Wen Xishu entered the Xue family's house, he heard these crazy words that sounded like delirium.
"Goddess Jennifer, please tell Master Jack to tear off my face and stick it on his head so I can see you every day!"
Wen Xishu thought of many possibilities, and even considered taking the student to climb the tower himself.
Let him eliminate his fear of the strange tower and regain his confidence...
I didn't expect to hear such crazy talk.
Xue Mingye's father, Xue Fan, was an official of an agency under the Bunker Government Affairs Bureau. When he saw Wen Xishu coming to his house in person, he seemed a little frightened even though he was the victim's father.
After Wen Xishu understood the situation, Xue Fan wiped his forehead and felt a little embarrassed:
"Dean Wen... you are making fun of me. My son has gone crazy. Hey, it's quite embarrassing. Originally, I was thinking of letting him marry the daughter of a colleague of mine after he graduated from Yuta College."
"In this state...how can he marry someone? Hey!"
Wen Xishu observed for a while and found that this matter was easy to solve.
Xue Mingye was indeed a little crazy, but he was also a little bit sick because he missed Jennifer. He felt like he was going to be a dog for Jennifer.
This is much easier to cure than being scared crazy.
"Mr. Xue, I will take care of this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a healthy son. I will go back and make some arrangements. Then I will let Xue come to Weird Tower Academy again. I believe... he will recover."
Wen Xishu was somewhat interested in Xue Mingye. This kid... seemed to have symptoms of "pain addiction"?
This might be a good candidate for tower climbing.
At the Weird Tower Academy, Wen Xishu really doesn't want to recruit those who follow the rules. If possible, Wen Xishu would like to train a large group of...freaks.
After bidding farewell to the Xue family, Wen Xishu finally had nothing else to do. After returning to Guita Academy, he finally received a call from the principal.
"Tomorrow morning, we'll go see Lao Jin. He wants to see you, too. There are a lot of questions, and it's troublesome to keep guessing. We'll just ask him directly when the time comes."
(This chapter... is a bit boring, I admit it, mainly because I feel like climbing the tower right away will really make me tired, so I'll take a break and sort out the idea of the fish frying book. But the next chapter will switch to the main storyline)
