Xu Yi looked at the virtual panel, eager to try.
After understanding the scope of editing, he began to operate with his hands.
"Li Wen, Xu Fan's comrade-in-arms who faced life and death together, sworn brother. During the border defense war, Li Wen was captured by the enemy."
"Xu Fan rushed to rescue him, and with his own strength, brought Li Wen to break through.
He took two fatal bullets for Li Wen.
During a behind-enemy-lines operation, Xu Fan sacrificed himself before Li Wen's eyes. Because of this, Li Wen felt immense guilt and retired from the army in despair.
After retiring, he inherited the family business, Furun Industrial, and developed it further under his leadership, making it the Furun Group it is today."
[Editing complete, confirm?]
[Confirm!]
[Congratulations to the host, the current background implantation is successful.]
Li Wen, Xu Yi had an impression of him; he was the uncle practicing Military Boxing on the sports field today.
No wonder he could come to the school so casually; he was a School Board Member.
To add more impact, Xu Yi also wrote a letter and asked the system to send it. He should have received it by now.
Furun Group Headquarters~
Li Wen stared at a group photo on the wall, silent for a long time, his expression complex.
It was a photo of him and Xu Fan in military uniforms, taken the day before they went to the battlefield.
Above the photo was a Medal, a Second-Class Merit. It was the honor of his life.
"Brother Fan, I met a student at school today who looks a lot like you. Especially his defiant personality, it's even more like you. If you hadn't sacrificed yourself, would your son be this old?"
Just then, his assistant gently pushed the door open. "Manager Li, looking at this photo again?"
"Xiao Sun, you think this is a time of peace, but it's not. The peace we have now was bought with the lives of countless unknown heroes.
Back then, Brother Fan led me through the breakthrough. We ran out of food and endured for several days. I thought we were going to starve to death. He found expired instant noodles on the ground.
That bowl of noodles saved me, and it was the second time he saved me."
"By the way, what did you come to find me for?" Li Wen's expression was full of nostalgia and guilt.
"Someone sent you a letter."
"A letter? People still write letters these days?"
Li Wen chuckled, not paying much attention.
"It's probably just a business rival asking for cooperation. Xiao Sun, you take a look and deal with it."
"Yes. But I don't remember any business rivals named Xu."
"Xu..."
Hearing the word "Xu," Li Wen's heart stirred. He reached out and took the envelope. "Never mind, I'll read it myself."
"Clink~"
As soon as he opened the envelope, a crisp sound was heard.
It was a blood-stained Medal, a First-Class Merit...
Li Wen was instantly stunned. He quickly opened the letter, his gaze sharp.
"Uncle Li, by the time you receive this letter, I will have already gone to find my father. My life at school was difficult, and I could only earn a little living money by selling instant noodles by the window.
The supermarket owner forced me to raise the price of my noodles, but I refused. So he flipped over my stall.
I went to reason with them, but they said I was an orphan and could be bullied as they pleased. They also said I was the one who caused my parents' deaths, calling me a jinx.
I said my father was a hero, but they threw away my Medal, saying it was just scrap metal and useless.
So I'm sending you the Medal. See if you can help me exchange it for some money? Enough for a packet of instant noodles would be fine."
Silence~
Oppressive silence~
Li Wen's body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes turning bloodshot.
A photo fell to the ground.
It was a photo of Xu Fan and him, with a message written on the back.
"Son, if you need anything, go find Uncle Li. He's Dad's best brother. He will definitely help you."
"Ah!!"
Li Wen could no longer control himself, letting out a piercing cry as tears streamed down his face.
The assistant cautiously stepped forward, fear in his eyes. "Manager Li, your phone."
"Get lost, I'm not answering! I'm going to kill someone today..."
"It's... it's the military calling."
Li Wen paused for a moment before answering the call.
As soon as the phone was by his ear, an angry barrage of curses came from the other end, "Young Master Li, Boss Li! You pulled strings to get in, you might as well pull strings to get out of the military!
You might as well have been a deserter, then Xu Fan might not have died. His son wouldn't have been bullied either."
This statement was like the final fuse, completely igniting Li Wen.
Beep, beep, beep~
A cold dial tone followed immediately.
Li Wen slowly raised his head, a murderous aura gathering between his brows. "Xiao Sun, get the car ready! We're going to the school!"
Inside the cafeteria~
The Director and the Principal had flushed faces, looking at Xu Yi with guilt.
The supermarket owner, on the other hand, was full of confidence, his eyes fixed on Xu Yi with a mocking glint.
"Xu Yi, just sign it. I'm doing this for your own good. You might be a good fighter, but this is a society governed by law now.
As long as you sign, I won't pursue the matter of you beating people up just now."
Xu Yi took the contract and frowned, "Why has the contract changed again?"
The supermarket owner nodded as if it were obvious, "Yes. If you sell instant noodles for ten yuan, won't you earn more? Why are you unwilling?"
Bang~
The Director slammed the table in anger, "This is outrageous! You promised before that you wouldn't force price hikes. We'd each sell our own things and not interfere with each other.
How is it that after all this, we're back to square one?"
"Oh, it's mainly because we didn't realize how powerful Furun Group was before. Now that I realize I have such strong backing, of course, I have to use it to my advantage."
The Director clenched his fists tightly.
"Do you really think I can't deal with you? I just don't want to abuse my power."
After speaking, Yu Shu called the Municipal Supervision, "Haha, Old Gong, are you busy? I have something I'd like to discuss with you..."
The people from the supermarket side looked nervous.
Thug: "Boss, the Director is calling someone. Can we handle this?"
"I don't know. While merchants shouldn't fight with officials, he's just a small director of the Education Bureau. I want to take a gamble, what if they consider Furun Group's face?"
"Okay."
As the call continued, Yu Shu's expression gradually turned grim.
His tone of voice rose several octaves.
"What do you mean, Old Gong? What do you mean 'it's better to mind your own business'? The university supermarket is selling instant noodles for ten yuan, and you're not going to do anything about it?"
"A small matter? You call this a small matter?"
"What? You have a partnership with Furun Group too?"
"How dare you hang up on me!"
Yu Shu put down the phone, his face ashen.
Having been a Director for so many years, this was his darkest moment. He had lost face multiple times and had no dignity as a Director at all.
The owner's face lit up with surprise. His gamble had paid off.
He quickly urged, "Since the Director can't do anything, then little classmate, quickly sign this.
It doesn't harm your interests; in fact, it's highly profitable.
As for your conscience, you can discard it if it means earning more."
Xu Yi lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I won't sign. I'd rather cancel this stall."
"Director, Principal, I'm sorry... It's my incompetence. I've caused you trouble."

At this moment, an assistant nearby suddenly exclaimed with joy, "Director, the manager from Furun Group just called back!
He said he's willing to meet with you in person."
"That's great!"
