Chapter 7: The Mischief of Little People

  "Big brother, what's the hurry in finding me?" Duan Yue asked as he waited for his elder brother and cousin to finish their reunion.

  Duan Yue knew that if it wasn't for the urgency of the matter, Da Shan could have just called him, or waited until afternoon when he was at school. However, seeing that he still had the leisure to chat with his cousin, he knew it wasn't a particularly pressing matter.

  "Lily, let's go see the roses!" Seeing Da Shan's evasive gaze, Zhao Lin knew they had something to discuss in private, so she pulled Lily along to admire the flowers by the wall.

  "Speak up, no one is around!" Duan Lei noticed the small movements between Dashan and Zhao Lin, and sighed that they really did have a tacit understanding.

  "I just got the news that Yang Feng seems to be making a small move against the pollution treatment evaluation, and claims that we won't even pass the initial review!" Da Shan told Duan Lei about the news he had obtained in the morning.

  "Is it reliable?" Upon hearing this news, Duan Lei naturally wasn't too pleased and furrowed his brow.

  "Last night, someone in their class had a birthday, he got drunk and spilled the beans. There happened to be one of my old acquaintances at the scene who heard my name mentioned, and called me this morning to tell me about it." Da Shan just stated the situation to Duan Lei.

  After hearing what Da Shan said, Duan Yue immediately knew that things were definitely not going to end well. Since the start of school, Yang Fen rarely came to bother Tang Lui Er, and he thought he had given up already, but it turned out he was still fixated on him.

  "The application for the Haicheng Science and Technology Progress Award is not a secret, and there have been relevant promotions on the university newspaper and website recently. The inventor Duan Yue and the contact person Da Shan are also in the spotlight, becoming the hot topic of discussion among teachers and students recently."

  At the school level, with the support of Xiong Yiping and Zheng Kaiming, the Yang family's influence was not so great that it could change the decision of the Hai Da Evaluation Committee, so the project was smoothly recommended to the Hai Cheng Science and Technology Commission. However, when the initiative of the evaluation was in the hands of the Hai Cheng Science and Technology Commission, there were more variables.

  "Shall we go find Dean Zheng and the others?" Da Shan was still a bit tense, they had put in a lot of effort for this award application, and naturally didn't want their efforts to be in vain.

  "This groundless thing goes to find Dean Zheng and others, it's not beautiful for us to wait and see, it will reveal a clue!" Duan Lei shook his head and did not agree with Dashan's suggestion.

  The declaration of the Science and Technology Progress Award starts in April, and after the May Day holiday, it enters the preliminary evaluation, selecting excellent projects to enter the re-evaluation, and the final result is obtained before July 1st. If someone makes trouble in the middle, it can be clear in the preliminary evaluation in May, and then adapt to the situation at that time.

  At first, Duan Yue was quite looking forward to this Science and Technology Progress Award. After all, if the pollution treatment technology could get the award, it would mean getting official recognition, which would be helpful in market promotion. However, from the situation of the company's opening for over a month, the marketing level and public relations ability of agents in various places are not bad, and the market has been gradually opened up, which can be seen from the growing orders of culture medium.

  At this time, Duan Yue didn't take the Science and Technology Progress Award so seriously, but that doesn't mean Duan Yue would let Yang Fen make trouble behind his back!

  "That's fine, let him jump around for a while, and then find an opportunity to take care of him!" Da Shan's knuckles cracked with a loud crackling sound, looking like he couldn't wait to take action.

  "Hey boss, you seem a bit bored. How about we go practice for a while?" Duan Yue suggested with a smile as he looked at Da Shan's expression.

  "Never mind, I still want to keep this little life for the May Day and Linlin's trip!" Dashan's head shook like a rattle drum, hastily standing out several meters.

  Last time in the Sanshou Club, Duan Yu had a sparring match with Da Shan. Da Shan, who has been practicing Baguazhang since he was young, was overwhelmed by Duan Yu's sudden and fierce attack, unable to counterattack, and his whole body ached for several days before recovering.

  Dàshān gēnběn xiǎng bù tōng duàn lěi kàn shàng qù yǒu diǎn shòuròu de shēntǐ nèi zěnme huì yùnhán le rúcǐ kǒngbù de lìliàng, yī lì jiàng shí huì, tā kě bù gǎn zài zhǎo nüè le.

  Watching Dashi's helpless performance, Duan Lei felt very pleased with himself. Since breaking through the third layer of Lian Ti Fist, his strength and reaction speed had greatly improved, and he was able to easily defeat Dashi, who used to be a difficult opponent for him.

  "Are you going on a trip for Labor Day?" As soon as he heard that Dashan was going to travel with Zhao Lin, Duan Lei's heart skipped a beat.

  "We want to go to West Lake for fun, do you and Tang Lier have any plans?" As soon as Dashan mentioned traveling, his face immediately lit up with a lewd smile.

  "Boss, don't make it so obvious!" Duan Lei patted his own forehead and exclaimed: "Damn! I've been too busy lately, I forgot!"

  "Kid, you'd better be more careful when it comes to romance! , Da Shan knocked on Duan Lin's head and said with a tone of frustration: "I heard from Lin Lin that Tang Liu Er seems to want to go out too, but she didn't dare to speak up because she thinks you're too busy."

  "Thanks a lot, boss!" Duan Yue said gratefully with a bow.

  Duan Yue still felt a bit guilty, he had been too engrossed in the affairs of Ma Ka Biology recently and had somewhat neglected Tang Lier.

  "What's the big deal about being polite to your own brother?!" Da Shan waved his hand and said, "In the future when we're practicing, don't use so much force, just be considerate of my old bones!"

  Thinking of Labor Day, he can have a double date with Zhao Lin, and the pride in Dashan's heart is beyond words!

  "Liu Er, shall we go traveling during Labour Day?". Duan Lei asked casually on their way back to school on bicycles.

  "Magical Creatures have entered a stable orbit, as long as they produce a certain amount of pollution-absorbing algae and the nutrient solution is left at the base, Jin Xin and others will naturally ship according to customer orders; The construction of Diamond Tower is a long-term process, and the Construction Group will also be on holiday during Labor Day, so it doesn't matter if Duan Lei is there or not; As for the Mirror Metal Factory, even with Xu Xu's help, it can't be done in just half a year..."

  The platform is booming with new recruits.

  Your legendary journey takes off.

  ………

  Duan Lei calculated the things he had on hand and found that leaving Haicheng for a few days would not affect the normal operation of the company, so he decided to take Liu Er out for a trip. Duan Lei knew that since getting to know Tang Liu Er, he had been busy from morning till night every day and really didn't have time to accompany her properly, which made him feel somewhat indebted to her. Taking advantage of the May Day holiday to go out and travel was not bad either, after all, emotions still needed to be managed in order to solidify them.

  Besides, Duan Yue doesn't lack money either!

  If it weren't for the fact that going home would take five days of travel time, Duan Lei really wanted to bring Tang Liu'er back to his hometown to see his parents and grandparents, and also let them take a look at this city wife. Duan Lei had already planned, during the summer vacation, to bring Tang Liu'er back to the countryside, and let her see where he grew up.

  "With so many things going on in the company, can you afford to leave?" Upon hearing Duan Yue's proposal, Tang Lian'er was overjoyed, but she immediately thought of Duan Yue's career.

  "Ma Ka Bio has just been open for a month, and now they're going to build the Diamond Tower." Tang Lier knew that Duan Lei must have a lot on his plate. Now that she heard Duan Lei wanted to take her out to play, Tang Lier was already very touched, as for whether or not they could actually go out, it was secondary. Sometimes, people in love are like this, always considering the other person, and easily satisfied themselves.

  "It's okay, I've arranged everything for the company, so it won't be a problem if we're away for a few days!" Hearing Tang Lier think of him like that, Duan Yue was moved to say: "Didn't you say last time that you really wanted to go to Tianya? Let's book tickets now!"

  "Mmm!" Tang Liu'er nodded and hugged Du Jia's waist in response.

  Actually, Tang Lier didn't care where they went as long as she could be with Duan Yue.

  After everything was settled, Duan Yue returned to school and started booking flights and hotels online, checking the weather on the other side of the world, and packing his bags in preparation for departure. Although he was a little excited about his first trip with Tang Lulu, he still maintained his usual rigorous style, hoping that the journey would be flawless. Fortunately, the internet is now well-developed, and the travel strategies shared by fellow travelers on online forums are very detailed, from transportation to accommodation, and even sunscreen indexes, all of which have been meticulously listed out, giving Duan Yue a clear goal.

  Yang Feng, who was learning about company operations management in a family business, had his high-flying mood instantly ruined after receiving a text message, and he almost crushed the phone in his hand.

  Since last semester, Yang Feng discovered that he had fallen into a miserable life. The originally glorious and exceptional Ha Da Si Da Gong Zi suddenly became the laughing stock of the circle. That rural turtle stubbornly took Tang Lui Er, who was considered taboo by himself, into his arms, becoming the thorn in his eye and the pain in his flesh.

  Although Yang Feng thought of many ways, not only did he fail to make Tang Lian'er leave that bumpkin, but instead allowed the two of them to be together openly, and slapped himself in the face!

  This semester, after the start of school, Yang Feng not only heard that the toad had started a company and transformed into a president, but also learned that the toad had an invention recommended by the school to participate in the Science Progress Award evaluation at the Science Committee, which further irritated his nerves. Yang Feng thought that all of Duan Lei's achievements were due to the support of the Tang family, making him resentful, and these benefits should have been his own.

  Now that he has heard the news of Tang Lier and Tu Bie going on an outing together, Yang Feng not immediately going crazy is already a testament to his good mental quality. Just thinking about Tang Lier's delicate body possibly being pressed under Tu Bie in a hotel room, rolling over and welcoming him with pleasure, makes Yang Feng feel like his heart is almost stopping its breathing!

  Yang Feng's facial expression changed constantly, even a Sichuan Opera face-changing actor couldn't achieve such rapid changes, and it still looked somewhat frightening.

  After a long time, Yang Feng seemed to have finally made up his mind, and a sly expression appeared on his face as he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
