The family's eyes were all fixed on that vial of potion.

Jiang Weidong suddenly fell silent.

He recognized that potion.

And he was very sure that Jiang Xiaocha wouldn't lie about this.

So, Fang Xin hadn't used the potion at all and had given it to Jiang Xiaocha.

Aunt Fang Huilan grabbed the syringe.

She quickly turned around, clutching Fang Xin's arm tightly, her eyes reddening as she gently patted his arm.

"Why? You child! You're going to be the death of me! This was yours, why give it to your sister!"

As she spoke, Fang Huilan's lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face.

"Aunt, it's okay, I can do without the potion."

Fang Huilan wiped her tears, "Auntie is sorry, auntie is so sorry!"

Jiang Xiaoyu chewed her gum, "Mom, why are you crying? You're ruining my good mood. Even if Fang Xin had used the potion, it might not have been better than my sister's, right? Besides, your dear nephew willingly gave the potion to Jiang Xiaocha, no one forced him!"

"Jiang Xiaoyu, have some conscience, will you?" Jiang Xiaocha scolded angrily.

Jiang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, "Didn't he say he could do without the potion? Why worry about him? Besides, he eats and uses our family's resources, he should be the one to grow a conscience!"

Slap!

Jiang Xiaocha delivered a crisp, loud slap across Jiang Xiaoyu's face.

The slap was clean and decisive.

Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned.

A few seconds later, Jiang Xiaoyu burst into tears, "Dad, do something! She's siding with outsiders!"

Jiang Weidong held Jiang Xiaoyu, rubbing her cheek, "Xiaocha, what are you doing? How could you hit Xiaoyu for an outsider! She's your own sister!"

Jiang Xiaocha coldly stared at Jiang Weidong, "Outsider? Our family are the outsiders! Don't forget, it was my brother who took us in! Now, I demand you, immediately, apologize to my brother for your behavior!"

"Xiaocha, I'm your father!"

Jiang Xiaocha repeated coldly, "Apologize! If you don't, I'll refuse to join any organization!"

Jiang Weidong panicked, "Xiaocha! You!"

Jiang Xiaocha's gaze was icy.

Now that Jiang Xiaocha's scores were out, she was surely going to be the pillar of the family in the future, and Jiang Weidong knew he was in the wrong.

He glanced at Fang Xin, "I'm sorry, Fang Xin, I did go too far! I apologize to you, please persuade Xiaocha not to give up joining a major organization!"

Fang Xin gently flicked Jiang Xiaocha's fair forehead, this sister was worth the affection, much better than Jiang Xiaoyu, the ungrateful one.

"Hungry, Xiaocha."

"Oh, okay, I'll go get you some food."

Jiang Xiaocha headed to the kitchen.

Fang Huilan, eyes red, looked at Fang Xin with a face full of apology, "Xiao Xin..."

"Aunt, I'm hungry, let's eat."

Fang Huilan squeezed Fang Xin's arm, "Alright! Auntie will cook a couple more dishes and then we'll eat!"

Jiang Xiaoyu nestled in Jiang Weidong's arms, still complaining, "Dad! It hurts!"

Jiang Weidong patted Jiang Xiaoyu's back, rubbed her cheek, and shot a vicious look at Fang Xin, feeling that Fang Xin was the real culprit.

He snorted, taking his daughter to find an ice pack.

He whispered to Jiang Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, your sister is still family, this is all Fang Xin's fault, remember this slap on him. I've never heard of anyone getting good results without using a potion, he's clearly waiting for the next test, and then he'll need me to pull strings to get him a potion, you'll see, Dad will definitely get this slap back for you!"

Jiang Xiaoyu glared at Fang Xin, "Okay, Dad!"

A knock on the door was heard.

"Who is it?" Auntie ran to open the door.

A chubby man with a cheerful demeanor stood at the door, carrying a pile of gifts.

"Is this Jiang Xiaocha's home? Are you Jiang Xiaocha's mother? We are from the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce! We've come specifically to discuss with Jiang Xiaocha about joining us!"

Without waiting for Fang Huilan's invitation, the chubby man squeezed in with his assistant, shaking hands with Fang Huilan as he did so.

Fang Huilan was bewildered.

But she quickly recovered, calling out towards the kitchen, "Xiaocha, someone's here for you!"

Jiang Xiaocha came out, wiping her hands as she walked.

"Hello, Jiang Xiaocha! I'm Tong Fengwu from the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce."

The chubby man greeted her with a smile, reaching out to shake hands with Jiang Xiaocha.

"And you are?" Jiang Weidong hurriedly came over.

The chubby man, all smiles, bent over and jogged over, "You're Jiang Xiaocha's father, right? I'm Tong Fengwu from the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce, you know us, the largest chamber in the district!"

Jiang Weidong nodded immediately, his eyes gleaming, "Hello, hello! Please, have a seat! You're here for our Xiaocha, right?"

"Xiaocha's excellent scores prompted us at the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce to send me, the Orchid City representative, to invite her. If she joins us, we'll gift her a large flat in the most expensive Baohu Gardens in Orchid City, provide a luxury car for her commute, and in her first year, she'll earn an annual salary of 800,000, doubling each year thereafter. After three years, she'll receive shares and dividends based on her contributions."

Tong Fengwu rattled off a list of benefits.

Jiang Weidong's eyes lit up, swallowing several times.

He turned to look at Jiang Xiaocha, thinking that if she soared, he, as her father, wouldn't be far behind.

"What do you think, Xiaocha?" Tong Fengwu asked again.

Before Jiang Xiaocha could respond, another knock came at the door.

Fang Huilan went to open it, revealing a woman in professional attire, wearing glasses, with two assistants carrying gifts behind her.

The woman extended her hand, "Are you Xiaocha's mother? Hello, I'm Li Yinqiao, the agent for the Provincial Capital Li Family in Orchid City. We're here for Jiang Xiaocha!"

"Welcome, welcome!" Fang Huilan eagerly looked at her, the woman exuding a strong aura, clearly a powerful figure, and stepped aside to let her in.

Li Yinqiao walked in, her high heels clicking, glancing at the chubby Tong Fengwu, who returned a harmless smile, only to receive a cold snort.

"You're Jiang Xiaocha's father?" Li Yinqiao extended her hand to Jiang Weidong.

Jiang Weidong licked his lips, feeling a bit light-headed, someone was here to compete for his daughter!

After years of feeling downtrodden, he finally had a moment to shine.

He had noticed the neighbors gossiping about their family earlier.

"Hello!" Jiang Weidong quickly extended his hand.

Li Yinqiao turned to Jiang Xiaocha with a smile, "Hello, Jiang Xiaocha, I'm Li Yinqiao from the Provincial Capital Li Family, nice to meet you! I assume this friend from the Tiannan Chamber has made you an offer, well, our Li Family will offer double whatever they do!"

Tong Fengwu squinted his eyes, "Li, isn't that a bit unfair?"

Li Yinqiao smiled calmly, "I believe Jiang Xiaocha is worth it!"

Watching the two sides compete, Jiang Weidong felt like he was on cloud nine.

This was too good.

"Let's all sit down and talk!" Jiang Weidong suggested.

Unexpectedly, there was another knock at the door, and Fang Huilan opened it.

This time, the visitor was more formal.

Wearing a uniform, the gifts they brought were simple, not as flashy as the previous two.

Leading them was a man with a square face, looking somewhat stern, "Hello, I'm Chu Gang, Captain of the 2nd Special Operations Brigade, 4th Division, Skyshield Bureau, here for Jiang Xiaocha!"

Fang Huilan quickly opened the door, "Please come in!"

Chu Gang stepped in.

His gaze swept over Tong Fengwu and Li Yinqiao.

Both of them smiled, "Captain Chu, you're here too?"

"Yes! Jiang Xiaocha, have you made your choice?"

"Not yet!"

"Alright, the 4th Division would like to invite you to join us! You can choose now!"

Jiang Weidong was so excited his voice cracked, feeling like this was the pinnacle of his life.

"Captain Chu, right? Please, have a seat!"

Chu Gang sat down.

"You all, please sit!"

Tong Fengwu and Li Yinqiao also took their seats.

Li Yinqiao was the first to speak, "No matter how we compete, the final decision is in Jiang Xiaocha's hands, it's up to her."

Jiang Xiaocha was a bit overwhelmed, she had only heard that high talent would attract competition, but she hadn't expected it to be so intense.

After a brief hesitation, "I'll listen to my brother!"

Fang Xin was taken aback for a few seconds.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Jiang Xiaocha to say that.

All three parties turned to look at Fang Xin.

Li Yinqiao smiled.

"You're Jiang Xiaocha's brother? Where would you like your sister to go?"

Jiang Weidong immediately interrupted, "Why listen to him, I'm her father, I make the decisions in this house, can any of you recruit my other daughter too?"

As he spoke, Jiang Weidong pulled Jiang Xiaoyu over.

"May I ask, your daughter's talent is?"

"C-rank Beast-Taming Talent!"

Chu Gang stated matter-of-factly, "The talent is too low, the 4th Division doesn't accept it!"

Tong Fengwu's eyes darted, "We'll take her!"

Li Yinqiao didn't hesitate, "We'll take her too! And we'll offer double the Tiannan Chamber's terms!"

"Li, why do you always go against me!" the chubby man said helplessly.

Li Yinqiao ignored him, continuing to look at Jiang Xiaocha, "Jiang Xiaocha, the decision is yours."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaocha still said, "I'll listen to my brother!"

"You child!" Jiang Weidong stood up in frustration.

Tong Fengwu scrutinized Fang Xin, "Are you a student too?"

"Yes!"

"What's your name?"

"Fang Xin!"

Jiang Weidong inquired, "Do you have any advance knowledge of the scores, can you check his?"

Tong Fengwu smiled, a bit embarrassed, "Well, the score sheet we have only lists C-rank and above, and Fang Xin's name isn't on it."

"So, he's below C-rank?" Jiang Weidong secretly rejoiced.

"That's about right."

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Jiang Xiaoyu immediately laughed, and Jiang Weidong shot a sidelong glance at Fang Xin, a smug hum escaping his nose.

Fang Xin was a bit surprised, not expecting to be below C-rank.

Jiang Weidong crossed his legs, giving Fang Xin a sidelong glance, "Below C-rank, huh, finding a job might be tough."

Jiang Xiaoyu also looked at Fang Xin with satisfaction, rubbing her still swollen cheek, feeling like justice had been served.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaocha suddenly spoke.

"Whichever of you is willing to take my brother, that's where I'll go!"

This statement left everyone stunned.

Chu Gang was the first to speak, still so upright, "The 4th Division has high standards, we don't take those with low talent!"

Tong Fengwu weighed the pros and cons, feeling it wasn't worth it.

Li Yinqiao spoke, "Our Li Family can take him, but the benefits might be relatively low, given his low talent, and also he..."

Before she could finish, another knock came at the door.

"Someone else is here? Huilan, open the door!" Jiang Weidong stood up excitedly, pointing at the door.

His face was full of excitement.

Fang Huilan went to the door and opened it.

Standing at the door was a White Hair in uniform, wearing sunglasses, with a pretty girl behind him.

"Are you here for Xiaocha?"

"For Xiaocha? I'm looking for coffee! Is Fang Xin home?"

"He is, and you are?"

"His friends."

With that, White Hair and the pretty girl walked in.

"Looking for Fang Xin!"

Seeing White Hair, Fang Xin's heart tightened.

The 9th Division was here!

Jiang Weidong was floating on cloud nine, seeing a White Hair walk in.

"Fang Xin, you're a student, and you hang out with these shady friends? Bringing them home?"

Jiang Weidong hadn't finished his sentence.

Tong Fengwu and Li Yinqiao both stood up, bowing respectfully.

"Mr. Zhuge!"

Chu Gang also immediately stood up, snapping to attention, saluting.

"4th Special Operations Division, Chu Gang, reporting to the officer!"
