Chen Mingyuan's Shock, The Unreasonable Fat Woman

"Quick, open the first page and check the top five rankings!"

Wang Jiannan's eyes widened, shining with brilliant light. A thought, one he hadn't dared to entertain before, surfaced in his mind.

Saying this, and before Secretary Wang could act, Wang Jiannan grabbed the mouse himself and opened the first page.

Seeing the displayed results, Wang Jiannan froze on the spot.

It wasn't just him; everyone present was momentarily stunned.

For a moment, the vast office was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

A moment later, a "thump" broke the profound silence.

"!!!! National number one!??? Li Ziyu's ranking is number one in the country!!!"

"Director! Director, what's wrong? Director!"

"Quick! Get a stimulant, the Director has fainted again!"

"Holy crap, one isn't enough, get more! The principal of No. 3 Middle School has also fainted!"

In the Martial Arts Association building in the center of Xujiang City.

In the top-floor office.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Chen Mingyuan, the president of the Martial Arts Association, was punching a sandbag, the muffled sounds echoing throughout the room.

Just then, the room door was suddenly pushed open.

His secretary, wearing glasses, rushed in, panting. As soon as he entered, he eagerly said to Chen Mingyuan:

"President! President! Good news! Astonishing good news!"

"What good news has you in such a rush? How have I taught you before? Remain calm when facing matters."

Chen Mingyuan didn't look up, still punching the sandbag with rhythmic thuds.

"Uh..."

The secretary paused.

Chen Mingyuan then spoke:

"Go on, tell me, what's Nangong Ao's ranking in Su Province?"

The Martial Arts Examination had just concluded, and it was the time when the rankings were being released.

No need to guess, any news at this time would surely be related to the Martial Arts Examination.

Seeing his secretary's excited expression, he figured Nangong Ao's results must be good this time.

He guessed Nangong Ao was probably in the top three in Su Province.

Chen Mingyuan thought to himself.

"Huh? It's not Nangong Ao, it's Li Ziyu! He got the national number one!"

"Number one in the national Martial Arts Examination! His score is double the second-place finisher!"

The secretary said excitedly. Chen Mingyuan calmly nodded upon hearing this:

"Mhm, number one in Su Province. This result is truly... Wait! What did you just say!? National number one!!? Li Ziyu?"

Chen Mingyuan seemed to have just realized, his entire body trembling.

His fist unconsciously tightened, and the sandbag suddenly broke its ropes and flew out.

The sandbag flew out and smashed forcefully into the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, shattering the over ten-meter-long window with a crash, sending shards of glass flying everywhere.

However, Chen Mingyuan paid no attention to the shattered glass.

Instead, he abruptly turned his head, staring intently at the secretary.

His eyes blazed with dazzling brilliance:

"What did you just say!? What national number one!?"

"I said Li Ziyu! The Martial Arts Examination rankings just came out, and Li Ziyu got the national number one. He is the National Martial Arts Champion!"

"I estimate that many people will have received the news by now. The teachers from those four prestigious universities should be on their way here to recruit him!"

The secretary was startled by Chen Mingyuan's gaze.

But then he immediately spoke.

As he spoke, he took out the printed ranking list and handed it to Chen Mingyuan.

Chen Mingyuan took the document handed over by the secretary and looked at it carefully. After finishing, his face flushed with excitement, and he burst into laughter:

"Haha! Good! Good!"

"I never imagined that our Xujiang City would produce a dragon! The national Martial Arts Examination champion, tsk! It's truly beyond imagination!"

"It seems I misjudged him, I underestimated Li Ziyu!"

Chen Mingyuan laughed heartily.

He excitedly slapped his fists together, pacing back and forth.

He kept muttering, "Great, just great."

"I never imagined our Xujiang City could produce a Martial Arts Examination champion!"

"In the past, the Martial Arts Examination champions were always monopolized by the major cities of Magic City and Capital City. Li Ziyu actually managed to break the monopoly and become the champion!"

"Amazing, truly amazing!"

Secretary Wang was also incredibly excited.

Magic City and Capital City were the two centers of Great Xia, with resources and cultivation levels for Martial Artists far beyond what other cities could compare to.

For the past dozen or so national Martial Arts Examinations, even the top ten finishers, all came from these two cities.

It had almost become common knowledge that smaller cities couldn't produce national champions.

Li Ziyu had surprisingly managed to break this record.

"Xiao Wu, go prepare the car immediately and bring the city's commendations. We'll go to Li Ziyu's home right away to deliver this good news to him,"

Chen Mingyuan stopped pacing, as if struck by an idea, and suddenly looked up at his secretary.

"With Li Ziyu winning the Martial Arts Examination championship, we can also gain some prestige."

"We must ensure the rewards are adequate!"

The safety of Great Xia was built upon the protection of powerful Martial Artists. A key metric for evaluating performance within a jurisdiction was the results achieved in the annual Martial Arts Examination.

Now that Xujiang City had produced a national Martial Arts Champion, even he, the president of the Martial Arts Association, could benefit.

Perhaps he could even use this opportunity to advance his career.

Chen Mingyuan picked up his clothes, ready to head out.

However, when he saw the moonlight outside, he slapped his own forehead:

"Look at me, I was so excited I forgot it's the middle of the night!"

"It will have to be tomorrow. You go prepare things now, and we'll visit Li Ziyu tomorrow morning."

"Oh, right! I also need to inform the Governor about this matter!"

The early morning sun pierced the darkness.

Xujiang City, which had been silent all night, came alive with the bustling crowds busy with their lives.

In the garden community where Li Ziyu lived.

From the morning onwards, people carrying gifts began appearing at his apartment door.

Bang bang bang bang.

"Open the door! You brat, open the door!"

"I know you're inside!"

Li Ziyu was asleep when he was woken up by a series of loud knocks on his door.

He could also hear a woman's scolding voice from outside.

Li Ziyu frowned and walked over to open the door.

As expected, the one knocking was the fat female neighbor who lived opposite him.

Seeing Li Ziyu come out, the fat woman lowered her face, saying with clear displeasure:

"Are you deaf? I've been calling you for ages and you didn't hear me."

"What is it?"

Li Ziyu frowned, staring at the fat woman expressionlessly.

He was 1.9 meters tall, a full head taller than the fat woman.

His cold aura, combined with his blank expression, made the fat woman instinctively flinch when he glared at her.

A sense of retreat and fear inexplicably arose within her.

However, the fat woman thought about Li Ziyu's past submissive nature when she had bullied him.

Coupled with the fact that her son had been admitted to a Martial Arts University.

The fat woman felt her confidence return. She put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Li Ziyu:

"My son got into the Martial Arts University, and some relatives are coming to visit. They won't have enough space to stay, so I'm borrowing your room for one night."

"You don't need to come back tonight, make space for us."

The fat woman said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Li Ziyu looked at her strangely, finding it utterly baffling.

Your relatives are coming and you want me to vacate my room for them for a night? Are you crazy?

He found it somewhat amusing, the fat woman's behavior inexplicably reminded him of a news story he'd seen in his past life.

An elderly person who always freeloaded off their neighbor's internet, one day, because the neighbor changed the Wi-Fi password, went to the neighbor's house to verbally abuse them.

Not only that, but he also sued his neighbor in court.

He claimed that because the neighbor changed the WiFi password, his child couldn't attend online classes, leading to a decline in grades, and demanded compensation from the neighbor.

That sense of entitlement was so similar to the scene before him.

At that moment, Li Ziyu had only one word in his heart.

"Get lost!"

Spitting out the word coldly, Li Ziyu couldn't be bothered with the fat woman and slammed the door shut.

The fat woman looked at the door that had just slammed shut, burning with anger.

Just as she was about to bang on the door and start scolding, her husband called out to her:

"Hey, wife, relatives are downstairs, let's go meet them."

"Coming, hmph, you brat, just you wait. Once I'm done meeting the relatives, I'll deal with you later!"

The fat woman snorted coldly.

Among her relatives, there was a high-ranking official working in the government.

He couldn't be reached before, but now that he heard his son had been admitted to a Martial Arts University, he was also coming to visit with gifts.

This gave the fat woman a sense of pride.

But she didn't dare to delay, and hurried downstairs with her husband.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching by the author, perhaps the title has been changed!
