Chapter 17: Zhao Huangmao: Are You Panicking, Old Man?
Chapter 17: Zhao Huangmao: Are You Panicking, Old Man?
"What a coincidence! Song Haitang."
Zhao Zheng greeted her with a smile.
Since he had already been discovered, he might as well be more straightforward.
He approached the father and daughter, and when he got close, he took the initiative to speak to Song's father.
"This must be Uncle Song, right? Greetings, Uncle Song. I'm Zhao Zheng, Song Haitang's high school classmate."
When encountering an elder, one should greet them first.
Before his rebirth, Zhao Zheng was already in his late twenties, so it was impossible for him to be unaware of such basic manners.
"I know you."
Chairman Song looked at Zhao Zheng with the same expression he had when looking at Huang Mao, and then said with a complicated tone, "Little Zhao, thank you for letting Haitang have the Burn Burn Fruit."
As he spoke, Chairman Song took out a business card and handed it to Zhao Zheng.
"This is my business card, and my private number is on it. If you have any needs, feel free to call me."
Chairman Song looked at Zhao Zheng with a meaningful gaze.
At this moment, Song Haitang suddenly spoke up, "Dad! Didn't you say you had something to do? Now that I've safely arrived at school, and since you're busy, you should go take care of it!"
Hearing this, Chairman Song felt helpless but didn't dare to go against his daughter's wishes.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave."
Before leaving, he patted Zhao Zheng's shoulder and smiled, "Little Zhao, remember what I said. If you need anything, just give me a call."
After saying this, Chairman Song finally left.
Once Chairman Song was gone, Zhao Zheng relaxed.
It was true that Song Haitang's father exuded a powerful aura, which could make one feel oppressed.
Zhao Zheng glanced at the business card in his hand and showed a hint of surprise.
On the business card, Song's father's title was "Chairman of the Xia National Extraordinary Association, Luan Branch"!
The chairman of the Extraordinary Association, even if it was just a branch chairman of a city, would still require a powerful individual to take on the role.
No wonder Chairman Song had given him such a strong sense of oppression earlier.
However...
Zhao Zheng still couldn't understand why Chairman Song had given him a veiled warning.
After all, it was he who had given the precious Burn Burn Fruit to Song Haitang, and the Song family should be the ones greatly indebted to him.
Although it was he who had gained the most benefit, no one else knew about it!
"Haitang, I feel like your father seems to have some opinions about me," Zhao Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Song Haitang's delicate face showed a hint of discomfort.
Ever since she told her father that she wanted to be Zhao Zheng's teammate and help him safely pass through the first ten layers of the Spirit Realm, Chairman Song had always believed that his daughter's heart had been stolen by this kid...
In Chairman Song's eyes, Zhao Zheng was a "Huang Mao" who wanted to take away his daughter!
As a father with a daughter, especially one as beautiful as Song Haitang...
For Chairman Song, Huang Mao should die!
"Don't pay attention to him..."
Song Haitang forcefully changed the topic, "Zhao Zheng, thank you for giving me the Burn Burn Fruit.
Zhao Zheng waved his hand dismissively, putting on a generous air. "It's nothing, no need to keep it in mind."
In truth, if anyone should feel guilty, it was him for what he did to Song Haitang's Kryptonian heritage.
Just as Song Haitang was about to say something, a tall, handsome young man approached them.
"Hello, are you new students here to register?" The young man's eyes lit up as he smiled at the pair. "I'm your senior, and I'm also the guide for this year's freshmen orientation."
The youth had striking features, with his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. But what truly stood out was his model-like physique—perfectly proportioned and visibly muscular.
Zhao Zheng spoke honestly, "I came here a few days ago, but my classmate hasn't registered yet."
The young man's eyes immediately shifted to Song Haitang.
The admiration in his gaze was hard to conceal.
He was actually quite busy, but he had come over because Song Haitang was so stunning.
Just a glance was enough to captivate him.
"Then, let me help you register first, junior." The young man's offer was well-intentioned, and Song Haitang had no reason to refuse, so she nodded.
"Junior, the computer is over there. Follow me." The youth led the way.
But Song Haitang turned to Zhao Zheng, "Zhao Zheng, wait here for a moment. I need to talk to you."
Hearing this, the youth discreetly glanced at Zhao Zheng.
"Oh, okay."
Seeing Zhao Zheng's agreement, Song Haitang followed the youth, leaving Zhao Zheng behind. As they walked away, Zhao Zheng faintly heard a few students nearby discussing the youth.
"That senior is so handsome! Especially his physique...I really want to touch his abs!"
"I know him. He was originally under 5'7", but he got the Super Soldier Serum in the Holy Land, which gave him his current appearance...Also, Quiet Girl, don't be fooled by his looks. This guy is quite the playboy around here. I heard he's had seventeen girlfriends in a year!"
"I've heard that too. I wonder if it's true or not..."
...
Zhao Zheng turned to look at the youth.
He wasn't interested in the gossip; what caught his attention was the youth's physique and appearance, which seemed to be the result of the Super Soldier Serum. Indeed, the serum was known to enhance the user's constitution and improve their looks.
No wonder the youth's muscles looked so impressive.
However...
It seemed like Great Superman's physique was even better!
Zhao Zheng was excited about his future prospects.
At that moment, he noticed the youth taking out his smartphone, seemingly to add Song Haitang's contact, after uploading her registration details.
But Song Haitang bluntly refused, living up to her high school reputation as an 'Ice Mountain Beauty', not giving the youth any face.
Then, ignoring the youth's awkward expression, Song Haitang walked straight back to Zhao Zheng.
