Chapter 120 Huo Mansion Dinner
As early as when Chen Yuan was admitted to Linjiang No. 3 Middle School, Huo Qiming and his wife proposed to let him live in their home.
But at that time, Chen Yuan politely declined their kindness, rented a simple single room outside the school, and concentrated on studying.
Three years later, he finally succeeded in his studies, and the couple was sincerely happy for him.
In contrast, Liu Xu is a "frequent visitor" to Huo Yuan's family.
When I was studying in school, I would go to Huo Yuan's house every three days and became very familiar with Huo Qiming and his wife.
After the couple chatted with a group of fellow villagers for a while, they turned to Yan Feifan and others and said with a kind smile: "You are Xiao Yan, how are your parents?"
"It's very good," Mr. Yan said with a smile, "They originally wanted to come to visit in person, but they were busy with worldly affairs, so they sent a few of us juniors to Linjiang to send greetings to them."
"Mr. Yan is interested," Huo Qiming said with a faint smile, "When I get to Luohe later, I will definitely pay him a visit and thank him personally."
"Uncle Huo is too polite." Mr. Yan responded politely.
The few people chatted for a while and walked towards the hall together.
…
The Huo Yuan family's new residence is a three-story villa covering an area of more than 400 square meters.
Not only is the interior decoration extremely luxurious, the house is also equipped with a spacious yard outside, where a variety of precious flowers and plants are planted, and two mutated Alaskan dogs are also raised to guard the house.
The Huo family's dinner was set in the middle of the hall on the first floor.
The door opens to the outside, and the fragrant aroma from outside the courtyard comes in waves, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Huo Qiming is low-key by nature and did not invite many business partners to the dinner.
Except for the four Yan Feifan who came from afar, the other guests were all old acquaintances from the slums.
Since most of the people present were young people, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
Liu Xu, Yan Feifei and the others were at war with each other at the gate of the community just now, but now they have turned enemies into friends, hugging each other's shoulders and calling them brothers, bragging and spanking.
Yan Ruyu and Jiang Xiaoyu sat together and soon found a common topic and had a very interesting conversation.
Chen Yuan and Huo Yuan were sitting together, chatting.
Huo Qiming, Chen Kexiong and his wife, and Liu Xu's mother sat next to each other and talked about past events in their hometown.
Huo Yuan's mother Li Yulan cooked a sumptuous dinner herself.
Not long after, the nannies brought plates of fragrant delicacies to the table.
A group of young people immediately twitched their index fingers. Seeing Huo Qiming and several elders moving their chopsticks, they immediately started to feast.
Li Yulan took off her apron, came to the table, and said with a smile: "How is it? Is the food to everyone's taste?"
Liu Xu was holding a salt and pepper chicken leg with his left hand, and a crab leg with chopped green onion in his right hand. His mouth was full of greasy food, and he praised it profusely: "Auntie, you are the God of Cooking. This is so delicious."
After hearing this, Li Yulan covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "If it's delicious, eat it with open belly. If it's not enough, Auntie will cook it for you."
"Puffy, didn't you say you wanted to make my family poor? Now the opportunity has come." Huo Yuan said with a smile.
"Don't go back on your word," Liu Xu put down the food in his hand, patted his slightly bulging belly, and said with a grin, "If I start to exert strength later, hehe..."
"Eat yours, stop bragging," Chen Yuan scolded with a smile, "Isn't it true that you come to Mr. Huo's house for a meal? Can you be a little bit cool?"
"Okay, okay, I'll eat mine and stop talking." Liu Xu glanced at Chen Yuan, picked up a piece of fried pork slices with green pepper, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chew it very much.
Everyone at the table laughed when they saw it.
Liu's mother originally wanted to remind Liu Xu a few words, but after hearing Huo Qiming say a few words in her ear, she said nothing more.
After more than half an hour, most of the elders had enough food and drinks.
Huo Qiming and Li Yulan asked Huo Yuan to accompany the guests and took Chen Kexiong and his wife and Liu Xu's mother upstairs to drink tea.
When Liu Xu saw his elders leaving, he immediately got high.
He took the wine bottle on the table and started drinking with Yan Feifan and others.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Yan Ruyu, who like to join in the fun, also joined the camp and competed to be referees.
Chen Yuan and Huo Yuan were six to seven full after eating, then came outside the villa and sat side by side on the steps to enjoy the cool air.
The cool breeze of the summer night blows across the cheeks, carrying a faint scent of grass and trees, which makes people feel refreshed.
The two of them looked at the night sky and felt very comfortable.
After a while, Chen Yuan tilted his head slightly and said with interest: "How about it, is the 'island tour' fun? Do you have any impressive experiences?"
"It's not bad," Huo Yuan pushed his long hair back and said, "It was a bit fresh a few days ago, but after playing for a few days, it's no longer interesting. It's better to come back and practice."
After speaking, he looked at Chen Yuan and said slowly: "On your side, this trip home is too exciting. I heard from Xu Pang that you gave the 'Dingrong Company' to the whole family?"
"The policeman is just a fool, I'm not that capable." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
Huo Yuan curled his lips and said, "But I really didn't expect that Dingrong Company is so powerful that it can actually ask three top G-level warriors to stand up for them."
Chen Yuan shrugged and said, "I didn't expect that a 'Li Mazi' could actually be involved in so many messy things."
Huo Yuan asked: "Have you found out, apart from Wen Heng from the 'Yuheng Martial Arts School', what are the backgrounds of the other two killers?"
"The police are still investigating, and I don't know when the results will be available," Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "But... I fought with one of them, and the other party's attack method was the same as mine in 'Blackwood Town'
Those underground warriors are 90% similar and should be professional killers affiliated with some underground force."
"Professional killer..." Huo Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, you should be more careful next time. No matter what, these people fell into your hands. If the forces behind them want to seek revenge, they will probably
Will find it on your head."
"They won't come," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "This is Linjiang City, the sphere of influence of the government and the Warriors Association. If they are so stubborn and insist on hitting the muzzle, then there is nothing I can do."
"That's true," Huo Yuan nodded, and then said, "There is one more thing, we must prepare early."
Chen Yuan frowned slightly, "You said."
Huo Yuan turned to look at the hall and said, "This time, I traveled with the Jiang family brothers and accidentally found out some news about the 'Summer Elite Special Training Camp'."
"Oh?" Chen Yuan's attention was immediately attracted.
Huo Yuan paused and said slowly, "You should also have heard of the so-called 'Summer Elite Special Training Camp'. On the surface, it is a concentrated training for outstanding college entrance examination candidates. In fact, it is an intensive training program between high schools in the city.
A head-on confrontation."
"This year's special training camp is even more obvious. Not only has the highest personal award, the 'Eagle Award', but also the 'Heroes Award' has been set up to commend individuals and schools that have performed outstandingly in the special training camp."
"You are saying that the organizers are deliberately exacerbating conflicts between schools.
Competition?" Chen Yuan frowned.
"That's right," Huo Yuan said, "and I learned from Jiang Ziliu that almost all high schools in Linjiang, including Municipal No. 1 Middle School, Municipal No. 2 Middle School, Yuying Middle School and several other prestigious schools, regard our No. 3 Middle School as the number one
Competitors. At the same time, Feng Xiaoliu, the 'Number One Academic God' in No. 1 Middle School, Xia Qian'er, the 'upstart in martial arts' in No. 2 Middle School, and Liu Xuanwu, the 'No. 1 martial artist' in Yuying Middle School, also named you as their 'number one rival'.
."
"Is it so exciting?" Chen Yuan laughed dumbly.
After a while, he asked, "Liu Xuanwu... who ranks ninth in the city?"
"Yeah." Huo Yuan nodded, "Before the college entrance examination, his martial arts scores had been ranked among the top five in the city. It was only because of his abnormal performance in the college entrance examination that he fell to the ninth position. Otherwise, with his strength, he would be fully qualified to compete for more places.
High ranking.”
Speaking of this, a look of worry appeared on his face, and he said: "In addition, Liu Xuanwu has always had a grudge against you for winning the 'Civil and Military Number One Scholar'. Among the 'anti-three middle camps' this time, he is also the one who clamored the most fiercely.
One, if we meet him, we will inevitably have a bad fight."
"These so-called 'geniuses' are so idle..." Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"There are many reasons. On the one hand, you have risen too fast and many people are dissatisfied. On the other hand, it is also because the rewards of the 'Eagle Award' and 'Heroes Award' are attractive enough. No wonder everyone among these geniuses is vying to be the first.
, all want to take this opportunity to defeat you and at the same time gain benefits and honor for themselves and the school."
Huo Yuan held his chin with one hand and continued his analysis, "In addition, Jiang Ziliu also revealed that among the fifty people who participated in this special training camp, 18 people were from No. 1 Middle School alone, 9 were from No. 2 Middle School, and 7 were from Yuying Middle School.
, we have 6 people in No. 3 Middle School, and 10 people from other schools combined. Not to mention the 'monster' of No. 1 Middle School, even if students from other schools unite to target our No. 3 Middle School, I'm afraid this 'training camp' will be quite difficult."
"Why don't you just get the 'No. 1 Scholar'? Whoever you offend is?" Chen Yuan laughed dryly and asked, "What about our No. 3 Middle School? Apart from you, me, and Puffy, who are the other three people?"
"Gou Chen, Wang Chao, Huang Tianchi." Huo Yuan said.
"I understand," Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "With the five of you accompanying me as a 'target', I am not feeling lonely."
"There is no way a big tree attracts the wind," Huo Yuan said, "Linjiang City has not seen a 'number one scholar in both civil and military subjects' for many years. Your kid sitting on everyone's head without even saying hello will definitely irritate some people's nerves."
Speaking of this, he sighed quietly, "Feng Xiaoliu, Zou Zhenshan, Xia Qian'er, the Jiang brothers, and Liu Xuanwu, each of them is extremely proud in their hearts. Once the 'special training camp' begins, the competition between you will begin."
The battle between heroes quickly becomes intense, and it’s exciting to think about it..."
"A battle of heroes?" Chen Yuan looked up at the stars in the sky and said with a smile, "Interesting, just right for your taste."
One of his purposes for participating in the "Summer Special Training Camp" was to compete with the elite students from major high schools in Linjiang City. Now that he knew that he was "targeted," instead of feeling any fear, a feeling of fear arose in his heart.
The blood is coming from the stock.
He smiled and said, "Come on, come on. 'Soldiers will stop me, water will cover me.' I don't believe that these so-called 'geniuses' can swallow me up."
Huo Yuan said: "Feng Xiaoliu and the others are fine, but Xia Qian'er's tigress might be in trouble. Then take it easy and don't accidentally 'fall into the tiger's mouth'."
"She?" Chen Yuan recalled the scene when he met Xia Qian'er during the college entrance examination, and said with a faint smile: "She is much easier to deal with than the friendly-looking Jiang family brothers. Although these two people come from scholarly families, they are very wealthy.
