Ch 93: Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

The incident of Jin Yu’s injury caused quite a stir in the training base.

Initially, it wasn’t a big deal, considering that Jin Yu’s injury was not severe. However, Yang Qilong’s “heroic” intervention turned it into a big fuss.

In Yang Qilong’s calculation, regardless of Fang Ziyang’s defense, as long as he insisted that he witnessed Fang Ziyang intentionally pushing Jin Yu down the stairs, even if Fang Ziyang successfully defended himself, he would still be suspected by everyone, and the conflict with Jin Yu would further escalate.

However, Jin Yu didn’t cooperate.

Not only did Jin Yu not doubt Fang Ziyang, but she also showed strong aversion to Yang Qilong’s help, bluntly stating that he was meddling.

This immediately made Yang Qilong’s heroic act appear awkward.

It indirectly proved that Jin Yu and Fang Ziyang’s relationship wasn’t as bad as it seemed.

As they reflected on the incident later, the perception of Yang Qilong became more subtle.

At that time, they didn’t think much of it, but now they realized that Yang Qilong did indeed meddle unnecessarily.

No matter how righteous and fair he wanted to be, since there was no evidence from the surveillance footage showing Fang Ziyang pushing anyone, regardless of the truth, a smart person would know when to stop.

But what did Yang Qilong do at that time? He insisted on holding on and was highly emotional, as if he himself had been pushed down the stairs.

This behavior was either trying to take advantage of the situation to harm Fang Ziyang or a sign of low emotional intelligence.

Even if Yang Qilong’s intention was to pursue Jin Yu, this incident revealed his poor attitude towards handling matters.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

After this incident, Yang Qilong not only failed to achieve his goal but also earned the disdain of others, who viewed him as somewhat self-righteous.

The title of “self-righteous” is not a positive adjective nowadays. After all, while these people are kind-hearted, they often resort to moral blackmail, which is not likable at all.

Especially when Yang Qilong mentioned Fang Ziyang’s despicable father, it struck a chord of disgust in some people’s hearts.

Today’s young people are not as old-fashioned as the previous generation. While filial piety is important, if parents are not kind, why should children blindly listen to them and care for them?

Who doesn’t know how despicable Fang Ziyang’s father is? By speaking up for Fang Yandong, does it mean that Yang Qilong is also the same kind of person, thus defending a scumbag like Fang Yandong?

When they thought about it this way, those who had just started to develop some interest in Yang Qilong due to his abilities quickly changed their minds and began to dislike him.

Yang Qilong was almost infuriated when he noticed the change in people’s gazes.

What was this? It’s called getting no benefits after taking risks!

This foolish woman, Jin Yu, is truly a hindrance! It’s a miracle she managed to survive with such low emotional intelligence.

Originally, he had wanted to do something more, but encountering this situation, he had no choice but to temporarily give up and calm down.

With Yang Qilong quieting down, Fang Ziyang didn’t continue to hold on to the matter. Jin Yu, on the other hand, was carefree, having obtained the super VIP commemorative card from Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals. She immediately put her broken arm aside.

After all, with some rest and recovery, her injury would heal. It wasn’t a serious injury, so she didn’t worry too much.

Moreover, with the VIP commemorative card, she finally had the opportunity to approach Fang Ziyang and discuss topics other than quarrels. Of course, these conversations were limited to beauty products.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, Jin Yu had to recognize the reality that Fang Ziyang was indeed more good-looking than her, and he had the kind of stunning beauty that made others jealous!

Considering that she was already at a disadvantage, she had to put effort into skincare. Otherwise, she would be even more lacking in competitiveness!

…

The incident of Jin Yu’s injury quickly faded away on the surface.

Everyone had a heavy workload of daily learning tasks and didn’t have much time to focus on a commotion. So within a couple of days, everyone moved on and continued their training preparations for the competition.

Time passed quickly in this busy atmosphere, and in the blink of an eye, it was the following week.

Xie Zheng wasn’t someone who spoke without thinking. When he previously mentioned visiting the base, he arrived on Wednesday with his belongings. Rick accompanied him, as he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to witness his friend’s love story while he worked hard as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Although the training base agreed to Xie Zheng’s visit, due to the need for secrecy, Xie Zheng and Rick couldn’t enter the internal area of the base. There was a designated visitation area for meetings.

Fang Ziyang and Tang Xun received the news, and their faces both showed the same joy. They immediately put aside their tasks and eagerly went to meet them.

Of course, Jin Yu tagged along as a little tail.

Although Tang Xun never verbally expressed his liking for Rick and even acted a bit harshly towards him, he did have feelings for Rick in his heart. Their relationship was basically in a default state, and the chasing game between them was just a way they interacted.

Meeting in the visitation area, both couples were excited and missed each other in their hearts.

As soon as they entered the adjacent visitation room, Ric lol held Tang Xun’s hand and went to enjoy their private conversation.

Jin Yu found it strange that Tang Xun left his younger brother alone. However, she realized that today was her chance to confess to Xie Zheng, and she couldn’t afford to lose to Fang Ziyang. It was better to have fewer onlookers to avoid embarrassment. So she didn’t dwell on it.

When only Xie Zheng, Fang Ziyang, and herself were left in the visitation room, Jin Yu immediately took the initiative to introduce herself without hesitation.

“Mr. Xie, hello, I’m Jin Yu. Jin Youren is my grandfather. We met before when you came to my house for his birthday. Do you remember me? You even praised me for being smart and beautiful. It was three years ago when we met…”

Jin Yu was excited beyond measure.

She had thought of ways to meet Xie Zheng before, but he was extremely difficult to approach. Not just her, even her grandfather had to wait in line for an appointment to meet Xie Zheng. Today was only the second time in her life that she had the chance to meet Xie Zheng! The first time was during her grandfather’s birthday celebration, and it was not easy at all.

That was why she was so thrilled when she heard that Fang Ziyang could easily meet Xie Zheng. As admirers, they were both in the same boat, but she was so unlucky!

Jin Yu was filled with excitement and anticipation, acting infatuated.

After not seeing each other for years, Xie Zheng looked even more handsome than before! Her judgment was unbeatable!

If you were to ask how much she truly liked Xie Zheng, it wasn’t that intense. Rather than saying she admired him, it was more accurate to say that she worshipped his good looks. He was a handsome, wealthy man with ability—a dream lover for many.

Fang Ziyang also understood this, so he didn’t take Jin Yu’s secret admiration to heart.

After all, he wasn’t that magnanimous. Who could get along well with someone who secretly admired their lover? He would definitely eliminate any threats to his old flame!

Seeing Jin Yu’s excited appearance, Fang Ziyang didn’t speak but smiled at Xie Zheng.

This was Xie Zheng’s peach blossom, so it was only natural for him to handle it.

Xie Zheng had already learned about Jin Yu’s existence through their daily video chats and also knew that they argued like primary school students at the base, which left him both helpless and happy.

The fact that Fang Ziyang argued with Jin Yu for his sake showed that he cared about him! Indeed, emotions needed a catalyst. If it weren’t for Jin Yu, he wouldn’t have witnessed this childish side of his beloved.

Although Xie Zheng wasn’t one to pity or value others excessively, he wasn’t completely cold-hearted.

Although Jin Yu was willful, her heart wasn’t bad, and she acted with integrity. She was still just a girl. She merely had an admiration and affection for him, which wasn’t a wrongdoing. He didn’t need to be overly harsh on her.

So, faced with Jin Yu’s expectant gaze, Xie Zheng didn’t directly say that he didn’t remember her at all.

He nodded slightly and smiled gently.

“I remember. You’re the young miss of the Jin family. How could I forget? Plus, Ziyang often mentions you to me lately, saying that you often keep him company.”

Speaking of which…

Xie Zheng handed over a prepared paper bag, “Some snacks specially made at home. They’re for you. Thank you for taking care of my wife.”

Technically, visitors weren’t allowed to bring things to the base, but Xie Zheng had a lot of face, and the snacks were easy to inspect, so the base didn’t impose strict restrictions.

“Oh, thank you. I really, really like snacks…” Jin Yu received Xie Zheng’s gift and became even more excited, stuttering in her speech.

Xie Zheng actually gave her a gift! And it was snacks! She loved sweets the most! Xie Zheng truly understood her! Could this be the legendary telepathy and fate?

No, wait.

Wait a minute.

What did Xie Zheng say at the end?

My wife?

Suddenly, Jin Yu felt like she had been struck by lightning. “Mr. Xie, you said ‘wife’? Who, who, who is your wife? Are you married?” She hadn’t heard about it!

Xie Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Fang Ziyang, reaching out to ruffle his hair.

“We’re not married yet, but Ziyang and I are dating. After the base training is over, we’ll get our marriage certificate first and then have the wedding after the competition. He’s still too young now…”

Fang Ziyang grinned and winked at Jin Yu, not denying their relationship.

It was as if he was saying, “See? I told you, Mr. Xie only likes boys like me. Don’t you believe it?”

He hadn’t planned to tell Jin Yu about his relationship with Xie Zheng. The bickering between them was just to train Jin Yu’s temper.

But he hadn’t expected Jin Yu to be so persistent and follow him to meet Xie Zheng.

He had no choice but to let Xie Zheng say that they had only confirmed their relationship after the phone confession.

Otherwise, with Jin Yu’s temperament, if she knew that they had been in a relationship for a long time, she would definitely think he was playing with her and feel even more humiliated.

Indeed, although Jin Yu felt like she had been struck by lightning upon hearing Xie Zheng’s words, she didn’t harbor any negative emotions.

But she felt wronged.

Her unrequited love hadn’t even started, and it was already over! And she was the one who facilitated it!

More importantly, Xie Zheng was so easily won over. Had she wasted all those years?

Who the hell spread such nonsense? It’s infuriating!

…

Inside the training base.

Everyone was enviously discussing how Fang Ziyang and Tang Xun managed to get the visitation opportunity so quickly.

It should be noted that anywhere related to the research institute had very strict security measures. Apart from requiring closed management, many important projects didn’t even allow visitation until they were completed!

Although this time they allowed everyone to have the visitation opportunity, it still required strict application and review. Going through the whole process would take at least a month, unlike Fang Ziyang and Tang Xun who got it so easily.

But who made Fang Ziyang and Tang Xun extremely outstanding? Moreover, the competition project this time was provided by New World Technologies. Having some privileges was not surprising for them.

After all, anyone here could be suspected of leaking project secrets, except for Fang Ziyang and Tang Xun.

“Hey, it’s really a case of different luck for the same parent. Why is it that even though they are siblings, their brains are so sharp! Tang Xun, I’ve already accepted the existence of Boss Tang, but why is his younger brother so talented too? Sob, in the past, I used to bring others down, and now it’s me who’s being beaten…”

“Haha, come on, can geniuses be compared to monsters? Tang Xun and Fang Ziyang are real brothers, and they are also descendants of the Lu family. It’s not surprising that they’re exceptional. You should know that the Lu family, like the Jin family, is a prestigious scientific research family with a hereditary talent for research. That’s really incomparable.”

“I heard that Xie Zheng is the one who came to visit today. Speaking of the most impressive person, it’s Mr. Xie. If it wasn’t for his keen insight, he wouldn’t have noticed Tang Xun’s talent and supported his development. He’s truly a legendary talent scout!”

“Xie Zheng not only has good vision but is also very capable in scientific research. He’s just more low-key, and everyone’s attention is mostly drawn to his business talent, overlooking his achievements in research…”

“By the way, I saw Jin Yu also going out. Could it be that she’s really going to confess to Xie Zheng? Are the arguments between her and Fang Ziyang every day actually true? Does Jin Yu really have a secret crush on Xie Zheng? I thought it was just a rivalry with Fang Ziyang.”

“Who knows if it’s true, but there will definitely be some good drama when they come back later. It’s always entertaining to see Fang Ziyang and Jin Yu bickering like primary school students.”

“Yeah, we’re looking forward to some good news later, haha…”

Everyone was discussing and laughing heartily.

Compared to envying Tang Xun and Fang Ziyang for their visitation, they were even more excited for the entertainment news of Fang Ziyang and Jin Yu’s bickering. Training and studying every day was too boring, and watching Fang Ziyang and Jin Yu argue had become a source of amusement for everyone.

But just when everyone was in high spirits, an unpleasant voice suddenly sounded nearby.

Yang Qilong panicked and exclaimed, “Ah, the USB drive! Our team’s USB drive seems to be missing. Wang Na, Yao Yu, quickly check over there, I’ll search here…”

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped their discussion and hurriedly inquired, “Yang Qilong, what USB drive is missing?”

“It’s the study materials! It was clearly here before, but if we can’t find it, we’re in big trouble! Please help us look for it. It was right here.”

Yang Qilong was getting anxious.

The members of Team A had gloomy expressions and looked panicked. Losing the USB drive with study materials was not a trivial matter, and if it couldn’t be found, it would be a disaster!

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

“What? How could it be lost? Where was it just now? We’ll help you find it…”

With that, the previously cheerful group put aside their banter and immediately stood up to help search with enthusiasm.

Although losing the study materials USB drive wouldn’t result in punishment for their team, they were all part of the same group and had been together for several days. They couldn’t bear to just stand by and watch. Helping them find the lost item was the least they could do.

With dozens of people working together, they quickly found the item in a corner after searching for a while. It turned out to be a false alarm.

“Phew, luckily we found it here. You guys from Team A, how could you be so careless? This is the USB drive for study materials, and if it really went missing, it would have been a big problem. Make sure to keep it safe.”

Everyone patted their chests and advised them.

The members of Team A nodded repeatedly, their expressions filled with relief.
