Three minutes later, Jiang Nan walked away with a huge grin on his face!
The burly lad was left staring blankly at the ten pairs of Hulk briefs in his hands!
“Mate! Ten thousand each! You actually bought them?”
“And you bought ten in one go? Are you insane?”
The burly lad looked utterly bewildered: “I don’t even know what happened! The thing is, his sales pitch was just too bloody powerful!”
“The more I listened, the more pumped I got, and then I just… just…”
Everyone else was speechless!
This bloke is really the All-Star MVP?
No matter how you look at him, he seems more like a gold-medal salesman!
Meanwhile, Zhong Yingxue and the girls no longer knew what to say!
They hadn’t even reached the place yet, and he was already preparing to open up the market?
They kept walking until they reached the foot of the mountain!
Because the Pioneer Nursing Home was built on a very high foundation, a wide stone staircase with over a thousand steps led straight up to the main gate!
In the middle of the steps was a smooth, broad ramp. On it, painted in bright red, were three huge characters written with bold, vigorous strokes!
“Pioneer!”
Wu Liang: “This nursing home is massive, innit?”
Qin Shou gave a wry smile: “Even Kyoto Spirit University wouldn’t dare build something like this!”
Loads of students attending the interview were dragging their suitcases up the steps!
Jiang Nan also noticed an old grandpa in a wheelchair, wearing a thick down jacket and padded trousers!
At that moment the old man was at the bottom of the steps, wriggling about, head lowered as if arguing with the stairs!
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up instantly!
Bloody hell!
Hidden mission!
It’s definitely a hidden mission, right?
In the middle of winter, an old grandpa in a wheelchair at the bottom of the steps? Just for fun?
Something dodgy!
Definitely something dodgy!
Then he remembered what the notice said about having love and responsibility towards disabled elderly people!
Jiang Nan understood everything in a flash!
Total epiphany!
He shouted: “Grandpa! Don’t move! Let me do it!”
The shout made quite a few students who were climbing up freeze for a second!
Zhong Yingxue, startled: “Xiao Nan? What’s wrong?”
Jiang Nan smirked, giving a wickedly charming smile!
His pitch-black eyes seemed to pierce through all the fog of the world!
“You lot don’t get it! The interview! It’s already started!”
With that he strode forward, beaming: “Grandpa! Let me help you, all right?”
The old man smiled: “Good lad! Sharp eyes, you’ve got!”
In that instant Xia Yao and the girls’ eyes all lit up!
A hidden test before the actual interview?
To see which of these newbies had love and responsibility in their hearts?
Xiao Nan is too brilliant!
How did he even figure that out?
They hurried after him, faces full of little admiring expressions!
✧◟(˃᷄◡˂᷅ૂ๑)
That little brain of his! Absolutely unbeatable, innit?
Jiang Nan grabbed the wheelchair handles and pushed the old man straight up the smooth central ramp!
The old man’s expression froze solid!
He opened his mouth, closed it again, and for ages couldn’t get a word out!
Jiang Nan smiled: “Grandpa, you’re getting on a bit! You really shouldn’t be wandering about!”
“It’s freezing cold in winter! How dangerous is it to take a wheelchair up steps?”
[Resentment Points from Xiao Chuihuo +666!]
I was trying to come bloody DOWN the steps!
DOWN!
I got up at half four this morning!
It took me seven whole hours to shuffle down more than a thousand steps one by one!
I wanted to see the spirit of this new batch with my own eyes!
I was only two steps from the bottom!
And you push me all the way back up?
Just like that?
But how could Xiao Chuihuo bring himself to speak up?
The lad was finally doing a good deed!
If he said the boy had pushed him the wrong way, wouldn’t that be mortifying?
[Resentment Points from Xiao Chuihuo +666!]
Jiang Nan frowned!
Why isn’t this old man grateful?
I’m pushing him up and he resents me?
How odd!
Jiang Nan shook his head: “Sigh~”
Xiao Chuihuo: “What’s wrong, lad? Why the sigh?”
Jiang Nan: “I’m sighing over the state of young people these days!”
“Look! So many people going up the steps! Not one of them came to help? Don’t they know to respect and care for the elderly?”
“Not a shred of love! Not a shred of responsibility!”
“My heart aches! It really aches!”
Xiao Chuihuo: ……
They didn’t help because they’re carrying suitcases and their hands are full, yeah?
Your heart aches?
Mine aches even more!
I wanted to go down!
[Resentment Points from Xiao Chuihuo +888!]
Jiang Nan was stunned!
Something’s wrong!
Why are the resentment points going up?
Did I get the strategy wrong?
Or does he think I’m pushing too slowly?
So Jiang Nan sped up!
Xiao Chuihuo shuddered violently, gripping the armrests for dear life so he wouldn’t fall out!
Two veins popped on his forehead! He forced a chuckle: “Young man! What’s your name?”
Jiang Nan flashed a brilliant smile: “Grandpa! When I do good deeds, I never leave my name!”
“If you really must know, just call me Jiang Good-Man!”
Leaving a name would make it seem cheap, wouldn’t it?
Seeing through your hidden test?
And then deliberately performing?
That wouldn’t do. It has to look natural!
Completely unintentional!
Xiao Chuihuo: (ꐦ￢皿￢)
Jiang Nan glanced at the students lugging suitcases up the steps and sniggered!
You lot are finished!
You couldn’t even spot such an obvious hidden test?
Just wait to be eliminated!
I’m such a clever little devil!
Sharp as a tack!
Smart as anything: (⚆ٹ⚆)
He pushed the grandpa almost to the very top!
What came into view was a flat marble plaza!
Further in were rows of buildings!
Jiang Nan was just sizing up the overall layout of the Pioneer Academy!
When suddenly an excited shout came from the side!
“Nan-shen! Nan-shen! Over here! Look over here!”
Everyone turned towards the voice. It was Ning Youyou and her Qingning team!
Ning Youyou, dressed in a white down jacket, was waving frantically at Jiang Nan!
Jiang Nan grinned and raised both hands, waving back at Ning Youyou!
But in the next second! All four members of Qingning turned to stone! Eyes wide, mouths agape, faces filled with panic!
“Person! Chair! Gone! Down! Quick! Quick!”
Jiang Nan smiled warmly. Why so excited to see me? Can’t even speak properly?
Person… chair… what?
[Resentment Points from Xiao Chuihuo +1000!]
[Resentment Points from Xiao Chuihuo +1000!]
[From…]
“Aaaargh!!!”
“Bloody hell!”
“Aaaah!!!”
(ʘ̅`Д´ʘ̅)!!!
The resentment point list refreshed like mad!
Despairing wails came from behind!
The smile on Jiang Nan’s face froze. He looked down!
Er…
Both grandpa and wheelchair had vanished!
The moment I let go, they slid back down the ramp?
On the steps, an old grandpa in a wheelchair, after accelerating down the ramp!
Was now hurtling downwards at 80 km/h!
He’d become a blur, the icy wind distorting Xiao Chuihuo’s face as he flew!
He was about to shoot off the bottom of the ramp!
Everyone present was gobsmacked! What the hell is going on?
Jiang Nan panicked! This won’t do!
He flung out a Void Chain with lightning speed! Just before the wheelchair shot off the ramp, it wrapped tightly around the wheels!
The wheelchair jerked to an abrupt halt!
But Xiao Chuihuo, thanks to inertia, flew straight out of the seat!
In a perfect “_|￣|○” pose, he slid seventy-odd metres across the snow!
Finally coming to a stop!
At that moment, the air fell completely silent!
Everyone was stunned!
That’s farther than an Olympic curling stone, mate!
[Resentment Points from Xiao Chuihuo +1000!]
I’ve been in a wheelchair fifteen years!
This is the first time I’ve ever hit 80 km/h!
I’m almost addicted to the feeling!
But I’m finally down!
Young man! Thanks a bloody bunch, yeah!
