Xu Zhenjiang: I'm Going to Spread a Sex Rumor

[Name: Cao Fengqi]

[Merit Points: 12000]

[Military Rank: Honorary Major General]

"Major General Cao, congratulations on your promotion to the youngest major general in Great Xia. This is your reward."

Cao Fengqi had no idea that Lao Deng had already opened his box.

The official process was swift. As soon as he arrived at the conference room of the Transcendent Arsenal, a middle-aged man approached him, bowed respectfully, and handed him his merits and a host of rewards: "You can now choose one treasure of level 8 or lower on the trading platform."

"Good."

Cao Fengqi took it with sparkling eyes.

One medal of honorary major general, and one level 6 storage ring.

The storage space contains one unit of Transcendent Source Metal and 5 tons of level 7 metal materials.

"Congratulations."

Standing to the side, Xu Fenghua looked at him and congratulated him with a smile on her face.

"It's just vanity; you might as well give me merit points."

Cao Fengqi said with a smile.

"..."

Xu Fenghua rolled her eyes at him. "This isn't vanity; it has many benefits. I only obtained the rank of Major General after accepting the mission from the Ruin Demon. You're already very powerful."

"Really?"

Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow and looked at Director Xu and the others beside him. "So, does that mean Old Xu others will have to listen to me from now on?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing his words, Director Xu, who was standing nearby, paused for a moment, then replied in surprise, "Major General Cao, I am also a Major General."

"???"

Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow, speechless. "You too? The rank of Major General is getting too common, isn't it?"

"Director Xu is in charge of the entire Transcendent Arsenal, which is a very important department."

Xu Fenghua looked at him speechlessly and replied, "Moreover, Director Xu is the top Smelter in our Tianbei Base City and has made many contributions."

"Well, okay, Old Xu is going through a rebellious phase. I thought my status was higher than his, and that I could make him listen to me."

Cao Fengqi said with a hint of regret.

"???"

Director Xu's face darkened upon hearing his words.

Holy crap... I'm over sixty years old...

What the hell is this rebellious phase?

He now fully understands that this kid is holding a grudge against him for not responding when he asked the others to disassemble the Soul Perception Disc.

This kid...

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you from now on, I'll do whatever you say."

However, considering the young man's talent and limitless future, Director Xu reluctantly admitted defeat and said to him.

This kid even dares to call General Xu "Old Deng," so I guess I'd better listen to him.

"Hehe, good, good!"

Cao Fengqi couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

This identity is actually quite cool.

"Sister Fenghua, it's getting late. I need to go home after exchanging for one item."

He glanced outside, then looked at Xu Fenghua and said, "Let's meet again sometime."

"Okay, give me your contact information."

Xu Fenghua nodded.

"Good."

Cao Fengqi, glanced at Old Deng sitting not far away smoking, then turned his gaze to Xu Fenghua and continued without ceremony, "Sister Fenghua, um... the sword you gave me was taken by your Old Deng. I urgently need a treasure to cover my Curse, and also something that can conceal the tracking of the Soul Listener."

"Um?"

Xu Fenghua nodded nonchalantly upon hearing his words: "Sure, I'll look for it for you. If I find it, I'll exchange it for you directly."

"Hehe, okay."

Cao Fengqi grinned.

With burning eyes, he took out his communicator and opened the official trading platform.

Previously, he had his eye on several level 8 items.

He now has a chance to redeem it for free.

"The [Body-Beast Swap Memory Crystal] and the [Dimensional Cloak] are both extremely useful to me, these two..."

Cao Fengqi looked at the two items he had been eyeing and pondered for a moment, "The Dimensional Cloak requires more merit points to exchange, and it's currently the most useful to me, so I'll get it first."

He thought to himself, "I'll exchange it directly."

"I found a level 8 Mysterious Cloak with the effects you described."

Xu Fenghua then said to him, "Also, I found an item to remove your Curse. Let me exchange for it for you as well."

"Hmm? That's not necessary."

Cao Fengqi shook his head upon hearing this.

Although his blond hair is Curse, it might actually have a significant effect on him in the future.

"Don't you need it?"

"Sister Fenghua, don't you think my hairstyle is cool?"

Xu Fenghua paused slightly upon hearing his words, rolled her eyes at him, and commented, "Very scoundrel."

"..."

Come see me tomorrow.

Xu Fenghua looked at him and said directly.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

"What could you possibly want? Come tomorrow, then come tomorrow!"

"Of course I have things to do! I'm incredibly busy every day!"

The two chatted back and forth, while Xu Zhenjiang sat not far away, glancing at them every now and then, his teeth practically grinding to powder.

"I need to have a good talk with my daughter when I get home."

He thought to himself, his face grim as he looked at the documents in front of him.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

"Xiao Ling, please revise this document."

He glanced at his subordinate beside him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and telepathically instructed, "In Character Relationship 1, describe his relationship with his sister-in-law as illicit."

In Task Relationship 3, simply state that the two characters are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

"???"

Upon hearing the commander's order, the young man beside him paused slightly, then immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

"Hehe, no wonder so many people like to spread dirty rumors, oh dear!"

"No... maybe I wasn't spreading rumors about this kid. Given his character, I wasn't spreading rumors at all; I was prescient!!"

"That's right, prophetic, haha!"

"Next, once my daughter finds out what kind of person this kid is, she won't even have time to hate him, let alone like him, hehehe---"

Xu Zhenjiang leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and thought to himself with a pleasant mood.

I've been holding my breath all afternoon, and now I finally feel a bit better.

It will be open soon.

The people around them were unaware that General Xu was fabricating rumors. The high-ranking officials of the Transcendent Arsenal watched Cao Fengqi and Deputy Director Xu chatting and laughing, and felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

Although they didn't know much about Deputy Director Xu, the appearance of the two men in front of them...

They're a perfect match, you never know!

"Oh, right."

Director Xu paused, looked at Cao Jianjun not far away, and beckoned to him. "Xiao Jun, come here."

"Director Xu, what do you need me for?"

Cao Jianjun walked over and asked respectfully.

"Xiao Jun, don't be so polite with me."

Seeing his reserved and respectful expression and hearing the form of address, Director Xu felt a pang of anxiety and quickly replied to him.

Cao Jianjun's attitude was originally quite normal.

But... today is different from the past!

If that kid sees this, he'll think I've been mean to his grandpa. Given that kid's vengeful nature, wouldn't he try to sabotage me every now and then?

He dared not offend Major General Cao.

"Don't mention it, don't mention it. Your Cao Family is not what it used to be."

Director Xu smiled at him and continued, "Your nephew has made such a great contribution to the country and has been promoted to major general. You have also made a significant contribution."

"Next, I will promote you to the position of deputy director of the research institute. In addition, according to our arsenal's reward system, we can make an exception and reward your Cao Family with one Artifact Refiner's Transcendent Sequence Rune."

"???"

"What?"

As he spoke, Cao Jianjun, standing beside him, opened his mouth slightly, his face filled with shock.

He was promoted directly from deputy director to deputy director of the research institute?

And then there's the reward of the Transcendent Sequence Rune...

This was something he never dared to even imagine before.

His previous position as deputy director would only be considered mid-level within the Transcendent Arsenal, while the deputy director of the research institute would be considered a high-level position within the armory.

This chasm is not so easy to cross.

"Director Xu, I... I am not capable enough. I am not qualified to take on the position of deputy director of the research institute."

He hurriedly replied, somewhat apprehensively.

He has a clear understanding of himself; with his current extraordinary skills, he is not qualified.

"I can take on that responsibility, I can take on that responsibility."

Director Xu smiled and said, "Your nephew doesn't live here. Go to the top-notch training room reserved for major generals every day to practice. Your extraordinary skills will soon reach the required standard."

"Don't worry, no one in the entire Transcendent Arsenal will gossip about you."

As he finished speaking, he added a comforting remark, "Your greatest achievement is introducing such a genius into our organization."

"This..."

Cao Jianjun pursed his lips; it would be impossible for him not to be excited.

He never imagined that he would end up in a position he never dared to dream of because of his nephew.
