Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 132: Chapter 105: The Big Shot’s Favor, Chen 94’s Path to Success - Part 3

This victory, I estimate, will boost the income of every little brother in the fishery by ten to twenty percent.

Management will be even more exaggerated, such is the benefit of leading a town.

The little brothers hugged each other in excitement, cheering and leaping, emitting roars of joy.

Contrastingly, the Guild Cao side appeared desolate, each one hanging their heads in dejection.

At this moment, the Yu Family’s housekeeper looked at Chen Jie with hatred, his heart aflame with fury.

”Chen Jiusi, you dare to kill our Master Yu, this isn’t over!”

His eyes were filled with intense hatred.

But at this moment, he was inconspicuous in the crowd, and no one paid him any attention.

Then Sun Bu’er said, ”Chen Jiusi, now you can take up this flag that symbolizes the position of Village Chief of Xiantao Town!”

Hearing this, Chen Jie suddenly spoke up.

”Hold on!”

Everyone looked at him in surprise, wondering what he meant, and just then Chen Jie said, ”Ladies and gentlemen, I was forced into the ring this time; it was an act of desperation. I feel that my victory should be attributed to the cultivation by Manager Wu, the guidance from Second Ship Leader Brother Li, and the encouragement of all the Fishing Guild brothers.”

”Therefore, this flag that symbolizes the position of Village Chief of Xiantao Town should not be taken up by me, but by Manager Wu!”

”He is the Manager of our Xiantao Town fishery, he can represent everyone in the fishery, including myself. This honor should belong to everyone!”

Chen Jie spoke with fervent ardor. the Fishing Guild Disciples were taken aback at first, then felt a warm rush in their hearts; look at Chen Jiusi, he doesn’t forget who dug the well when he drinks from it. At this time, he was thanking these people around him.

Second Ship Leader, Li Sanding, was even moved to tears; he had not expected Chen Jie to mention his name after his victory!

Meanwhile, Wu Zhong was also startled, then quickly understood Chen Jie’s intention.

Chen Jie was giving all the credit for this victory to him. He had taken it upon himself to enter the grey mist area, resulting in serious injuries and nearly wrecking this battle for the position of Village Chief.

Peng Shizhong, out of respect for the old Master, could not blame him too severely, but there were definitely those below who harbored dissatisfaction.

However, with Chen Jie’s act of ceding credit, it would shut those people up, and at the very least, his merits and faults would cancel each other out.

Thinking this, Wu Zhong was moved and didn’t know what else to say.

At that moment, Chen Jie gestured to Wu Zhong, who hesitated briefly but then ascended the stage.

”Jiu Si, this should be your victory.”

Chen Jie smiled and said, ”Uncle Zhong, we are family, no need for such talk. Hurry up and raise the flag.”

Hearing this, Wu Zhong grasped Chen Jie’s hand and said, ”Together!”

Jiu Si couldn’t refuse Wu Zhong, and they both covered the flag embroidered with the characters for Village Chief, then they lifted the flag together.

And then came the echoing chants of the Fishing Guild Disciples, ”Jiu Si, Jiu Si, Jiu Si!”

At that moment, they shouted Chen Jiusi’s name; they were moved by Chen Jiusi’s gesture to yield his place, and their support for Chen Jie grew even stronger.

Watching this scene, Gu Qingfeng squinted his eyes with a flash of cold light in his gaze.

This kid is a threat. If he only understood fighting and nothing but killing, he would be inconsequential. But this kid clearly knows how to win people’s hearts, and such a person is the most dangerous.

In Peng Shizhong’s eyes,

Chen Jie was someone who understood the situation well, a master at handling internal relationships.

If he were merely someone with decent talent who could fight, he could be groomed into a mere fighter. But if someone could not only fight but also win over hearts and understand the human world, then he could be nurtured into management, even a successor to the leadership!

Thinking of this, Peng Shizhong’s desire to foster talent grew even stronger.

At that moment, Peng Shizhong glanced at Gu Qingfeng and said, ”Lao Gu!”

”Hm?”

Gu Qingfeng gave him a look, their eyes met, and then Peng Shizhong said, ”It’s not easy for a sapling to grow, we as the elders can’t be the ones to pluck it out!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng snorted and said, ”You’re interested?”

Peng Shizhong said, ”Yes, I’m planning to adopt him as my son.”

”That’s a big move, aren’t you going to observe him further? Do your other adoptive sons have no objections?”

Peng Shizhong said, ”When I adopt a son, what objections can they have?”

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng nodded lightly and said, ”It seems you’ve made up your mind.”

Peng Shizhong said, ”So, Lao Gu, don’t set your sights on him, or we will really fall out!”

Gu Qingfeng laughed and said, ”Don’t worry, I am not petty enough to contend with a junior. Besides, in the ring, losing is losing, no big deal. The Guild Cao can afford a loss!”

Peng Shizhong said, ”In that case, I thank you, Brother Gu.”

Gu Qingfeng said, ”Hmm, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. I have some things to deal with in the guild.”

Hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, ”Take care.”

As Gu Qingfeng left, Feng Xuan stepped forward and said, ”Adoptive father, Gu Qingfeng won’t make a move against the junior, will he?”

”Junior?”

Peng Shizhong looked at Feng Xuan in surprise, and Feng Xuan said, ”Since adoptive father has taken a liking, Chen Jiusi naturally becomes a junior brother.”

On the side, Zheng Chuan gave him a dismissive glance, then said, ”That’s right, adoptive father.”

Peng Shizhong said, ”Yes, I indeed have taken an interest, but it remains to be seen what that kid thinks.”

”As for Gu Qingfeng, don’t worry. With rules in place, he wouldn’t dare break them so recklessly.”

After saying this, Peng Shizhong glanced at Zheng Chuan and said, ”By the way, the position of Village Chief of Xiantao Town has unexpectedly come back into our hands, a surprising gain indeed. However, some people still need to be dealt with. Second Brother, you’ll have to move quickly!”

Hearing this, Zheng Chuan immediately saluted and said, ”Adoptive father, rest assured, I’ve just received news that the traitor has been caught and will be brought to Xiantao Town by tomorrow morning.”
