Qin Siyang was in a great mood.
Humming a little tune, he walked all the way back to the guesthouse.
He was thinking of taking a nap in the afternoon and eating something good at night to reward himself.
But as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a familiar sickly figure leaning against the wall in front of his door, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, when he saw Qin Siyang arrive, Hu Chan immediately walked forward.
"Director Qin, you're back."
The moment Qin Siyang saw Hu Chan, he knew this afternoon nap probably wouldn't happen.
"Something up?"
"Mm."
"Then let's talk inside."
The two walked into the room.
After closing the door, Hu Chan turned on the conversation shield.
"Director Qin, I heard you beat the senior who challenged sophomores. Congratulations," As he spoke, Hu Chan even picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Qin Siyang.
Qin Siyang accepted the holy son's service with a clear conscience.
After all, their relationship was clear now, and it was Hu Chan who needed him.
If Hu Chan was the holy son, then he was pretty much the holy father behind the scenes.
Qin Siyang calmly drank the glass of water to moisten his throat.
"Weren't you setting up the venue at United Government Academy? Your info is pretty quick."
After Qin Siyang set down the empty glass, Hu Chan immediately poured him another one, showing off his submissive charm.
Ever since Hu Chan discovered that many of his difficult problems could be solved by Qin Siyang, he had become even more servile in front of him.
"The main thing is, ever since I heard about this, I kept it in mind. So while I was busy preparing the blessing ceremony, I also kept an eye on our school's internal forum. That's how I happened to see the post about Director Qin defeating the excellent sophomore student. Director Qin raised your reputation and status again under everyone's attention. Truly worth celebrating."
"You really have time to spare," Qin Siyang denied it, "According to Rong Xin's own words, he can't be considered an excellent sophomore."
"This matter might cause a bit of talk, but it won't stir up a storm. At the very least, aside from Shi Tao, not a single heavyweight student was there."
Qin Siyang sighed, "Yeah, I have to admit, the impact of this match was a lot smaller than I expected."
But Hu Chan said, "I'm not trying to show off in front of Director Qin, but you didn't quite think this through."
"No one can see the fight in the battle arena. Even if you go there, you can only wait outside. Since whether they go or not won't let them know anything, why would those so-called heavyweight students waste time going for nothing?"
"For them, they just need to check the result. At most, check how long it took Director Qin to beat Rong Xin and what the score was. And to know that, they don't need to be there."
"So that's how it is."
Qin Siyang thought about it and felt it made sense.
The combat process inside the battle arena was absolutely confidential. Even Zhao Longfei didn't monitor it himself. Whether someone came to the site or not made no difference.
That being said, most people probably already knew the result of his fight with Rong Xin.
"Holy son, you must be swamped these two days, right?"
"Yes. After finishing with Director Qin, I still have to return to United Government Academy to keep preparing for the blessing ceremony. Because the temporary venue was prepared in a rush, we have to race against time to set it up. And the helpers Principal Zhao found have no experience organizing church events."
"Since you're racing against time, why come here wasting it?"
"How could coming to Director Qin be called wasting time! Every time I talk with you, I gain so much!"
Qin Siyang laughed, "Your flattery is too stiff, not even one tenth as good as mine. Forget it. Just say it. What is it?"
Even though Qin Siyang spoke coldly, Hu Chan kept smiling.
"Director Qin is right. I'll work hard to fix it from now on."
"I came to talk about tomorrow's blessing ceremony."
Of course Qin Siyang guessed it was about the blessing ceremony. There was nothing else Hu Chan could be here for.
"As your Zephyr Church's Good Luck Ambassador, what other tasks do you have for me?"
"Director Qin is brilliant. It's not exactly giving you a task, more like cooperation."
"What do you want me to do?"
"I hope Director Qin can give a speech at tomorrow's blessing ceremony, one that helps Zephyr Church believers accumulate fortune, to raise the influence of this ceremony inside and outside the church."
"Give a speech?", Qin Siyang instinctively asked, "Your host for the blessing ceremony is Qian Wenzhao?"
"Qian Wenzhao? How could our church event use an official from the United Government to host?"
Qin Siyang nodded, "Oh, that's good then."
Speaking of speeches, he couldn't help remembering that time at the Vine Core exchange meeting when he was also asked to prepare a speech.
But when the meeting started, his speech segment was cut directly by the fastest blade in history, Qian Wenzhao.
That unpleasant experience had left a knot in his heart.
After all, chances to show off with a speech in front of a crowd weren't many.
It wasn't until the Zhao Chamber of Commerce establishment ceremony that he finally got some satisfaction.
With no Qian Wenzhao interfering, his speech shouldn't get skipped.
Giving a speech as the Good Luck Ambassador was a chance to build a connection with Zephyr Church believers.
The four people fighting for power in Zephyr Church right now were Hu Chan, Yu Ziying, Chris, and Jin Shengyu.
All of them had some ties with him.
No matter who rose to the top later, they could keep cooperating.
Once he started the path of believers and successfully built his sequence group, stepping into the negotiation table of the major forces inside the safe zone, he might even need Zephyr Church to help him build momentum later.
So deep down, he was quite willing to join this speech.
But he wouldn't let Hu Chan know he was willing. He still put on a reluctant face, "A speech is too much trouble. If you want me to do it, at most I'll just read it as written. Did you prepare the manuscript?"
"Protector Yu already wrote it. Please take a look, Director Qin."
When Qin Siyang saw the manuscript Hu Chan handed him, his brows knitted in dissatisfaction.
'Only half a page?'
'With just these few lines, how am I supposed to show off the charm of the Good Luck Ambassador?'
Seeing his reaction, Hu Chan thought he disliked the content being too long and said, "If Director Qin thinks it's too much and a waste of time, we can cut it more."
"No need, leave it."
'Cut it?'
If they cut more, he'd basically be going up just to say hello and leave.
Qin Siyang immediately stopped that suggestion and put the manuscript aside.
"Hu Chan, you should know, before this, you only said I needed to attend. As for giving a speech, that's an additional price."
"Director Qin, I'm willing to accompany you out of the safe zone a few more times…"
Qin Siyang shook his head, "Don't count trips anymore. You owe too many, I can't even remember."
"A flat rate. From now on, whenever I go out of the safe zone, you have to come along."
Hu Chan froze, "Wouldn't that basically mean I'm selling myself to you?"
"People should know when to be satisfied," Qin Siyang snorted, "With your situation right now, if someone sold you, how much would you even be worth? Besides me, who else would want to take you?"
