Chapter 14: So I am so strong?
It was already 19:00 when I got home.
Gao Chen planned to practice for another two hours, then take a shower and go to bed. Training for 6 hours a day for a week was already exhausting, not to mention starting work tomorrow. This required maintaining high-quality sleep and ensuring adequate energy. Energy to cope with high-intensity training.
However, Gao Chen didn't wait for the door key.
The neighbors opposite seemed to be paying attention to every move in the corridor. Whenever someone passed by, they would see the cat's eyes flashing.
This time, the door opened a crack, and warm yellow light overflowed.
Meng Xiangjun, who was wearing loose home clothes, was hiding behind the door, with only his small head sticking out. His long hair was tied into a high bun with a red headband, and his profile was as beautiful as a painting.
"Where have you been and why are you back now?"
Meng Xiangjun asked.
"What's up?"
Gao Chen felt it was strange. If he had something to do, he would just talk about it. If he had nothing to do, he would ask him what he was doing.
"Seeing that you work so hard every day practicing monsters, I just wanted to cook a meal for you to replenish your body, so as not to exhaust yourself before you take the test."
Meng Xiangjun opened the door a little, and the wonderful fragrance of vegetables mixed with chopped green onions hit his face.
Looking into Gao Chen's eyes, she suddenly felt that it was a little strange to say this, and added: "You... don't think too much about it, this is just a little reward I gave you because I saw that you practiced hard, there is no other meaning. "
Gao Chen didn't expect that Miss Meng could actually cook, which was really surprising.
He was silent for a while and said, "Okay, you can send it over."
Hearing these words, Meng Xiangjun's face darkened.
I thought he would say thank you, but I didn't expect him to be so cold.
"I won't give it to you. If you want to eat it, you can eat it yourself. If you don't eat it, I will throw it away and I won't keep it for you."
After saying that, Mengxiangjun closed the door forcefully.
"Hey, I was joking. Just keep it for me. I'll take a shower and go there."
Gao Chen was a little helpless, the eldest lady had such a bad temper.
...
After taking a bath, Gao Chen knocked on Meng's door again.
There was a rush of footsteps, the door opened, and Meng Xiangjun said expressionlessly: "Come in, there's no need to change your shoes, I'm afraid your foot odor will contaminate my floor."
"I'm wearing slippers."
Gao Chen smiled politely, looked down, and saw that the girl was also wearing slippers, and her white feet were exposed.
Just when he wanted to take another look, her feet were suddenly lifted up, and a shy and angry voice said: "Eat!"
There were only two pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table, a plate of stir-fried meat with scallions, a bowl of chicken soup, and a plate of vegetables. There were not many dishes, but the portions were quite sufficient.
"Where's Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng?" Gao Chen asked.
"They will be on duty tonight, and I am the only one at home." Meng Xiangjun said cautiously: "They will be back in a while, you'd better finish your meal and go back."
The tone seemed to imply that they had something shameful, Gao Chen muttered in his heart, but looking at the hot dishes on the table, he was really hungry after a day of training.
Just as he was about to walk to the dining table, he heard the girl say: "Wash your hands before eating!"
"..."
Coming out of the bathroom, Gao Chen saw that the girl had sat at the dining table, but did not eat.
"Don't wait for me, you can eat first if you are hungry.
Gao Chen came over, took out a tissue and wiped the water stains on his hands.
"Who's waiting for you? I just think the food is too hot. I'll wait until it cools down a bit before using the chopsticks."
With that said, Meng Xiangjun picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of green vegetable from the plate, and ate it in small bites.
Gao Chen was not in a hurry. He picked up the TV remote control and asked, "Can I watch the news?"
Seven-thirty in the evening happens to be the time of Xinwen Network, and local news is also broadcast at this time.
Meng Xiangjun originally wanted to say no, but what he said instead was: "Whatever you want."
The TV is on.
Gao Chen watched TV news while eating. In this era of underdeveloped Internet, most of the information people know about the world comes from TV.
But he happened to not have a TV at home. In order not to miss the recent foundation news, he could only stay with Meng Xiangjun for the time being, and then find a way to save money to buy one later.
In fact, newspapers are also a good way to learn news, but the information in newspapers is far faster than television. Therefore, in order to learn about the foundation as soon as possible, television news is the best choice.
"Don't just watch TV, get some food."
Meng Xiangjun picked up a chicken drumstick for him, with a faint blush on his fair and flawless cheeks: "You are too thin, you should eat more meat, otherwise you will not be able to compete with other candidates during the assessment."
"Well, thank you."
Gao Chen took two mouthfuls of rice and continued to follow the news.
"Is the food I cooked not delicious? Why do you seem to have no appetite at all?"
This sentence received no response, and the girl followed his gaze in confusion and looked at the news screen on the TV.
It was news from a local TV station, titled 'Exclusive interview with the city's strongest new generation of capable people', and the capable person on the screen was none other than Dai Ming, who graduated from No. 3 Middle School.
The reporter in charge of the interview asked: "Mr. Dai Ming, I am Ma Shengchen, a reporter from Qinggang TV Station.
You are known as one of the most promising talents among the new generation to be promoted to the city level early. However, some people have recently questioned your strength, saying that you are just a puppet of the foundation and the company, and that your abilities are far inferior to what the media has touted. Any response to this?
Do you have the confidence to prove your worth and silence those who doubt you?
With the recent uproar over the Civilian Knights incident, the Foundation has appointed you as the interim head of the investigation team. Do you think you are confident in completing the task? "
Hearing this question, Dai Ming glanced at the assistant beside him.
Immediately, he adjusted his mood slightly and said: "I can understand why they have such a view, because I did not perform at my best last time, which led to the less than perfect handling of the insect disaster, but I feel that this does not represent me. All my strength cannot negate my previous efforts and achievements.
I will not be discouraged by their doubts, nor will I lose my mind because of their provocations. I will use my actions to prove my worth and let those who doubt me see that I will not give up easily. I am still the strongest among the new generation of capable people!
In addition, regarding the 'Civil Knight' incident, I am confident that in the subsequent investigation, I will find out the rat hiding in the sewer! "
The interview was very simple. It was easy to tell from Dai Ming's gloomy face that this guy was not in a good mood at this time.
There are constant doubts about him from the outside world, especially since today's capable people are more or less connected with the media and brokerage companies, which will inevitably make many people question him.
Meng Xiangjun, who also finished watching the interview, suddenly said: "He can't beat the folk knight that day."
"Why do you say that?"
Gao Chen turned to look at her and asked.
"It is not an easy task to eliminate the insect plague that has been temporarily designated as Level 2 and Level 3. For the street-level knights in our country, this is almost impossible, but the folk knights that day were able to defeat the enemy with one move. This It means that the other party’s strength has at least reached the city level.”
Meng Xiangjun said: "According to the initial level classification of novices, the levels in the first five years are divided into: street level, district level, and city level. The gap between these three is not ordinary!"
Five years is the trial period for novices. Only by breaking through to the city level at this stage can they be qualified to enter a higher level training system and continue to improve their abilities. If he cannot achieve it within five years, it means that he is a fit person without talent, and he can only stay below the city level forever, accepting a low-level training system, and there is no possibility of turning around in his life.
Gao Chen's face was full of surprise, this was not an act.
He didn't know much about the levels of Kamen Riders in this world. After hearing Meng Xiangjun's explanation, he realized that he was so strong? !
