Chapter 132 Return, neither rain nor sunshine
The commendation meeting was about to end in a joyful atmosphere. It was originally thought that Chu Yi would take this opportunity to completely overwhelm Ji Chen and become the leader of the younger generation of China.

The result was a poor outcome. He offended a big boss just after receiving the honor. It is unknown whether he will be able to get more resources in the future.

What no one expected was that Li Ming became the biggest winner.

The contribution of this little hero who sacrificed his life at the critical moment was no less than Chu Yi's, and his performance left a deep impression on people.

At that time, the two tentacles thrown out by Lin Mu were about to pierce through Ross and Ji Chen. It was he who fearlessly pushed his companions away and took the fatal blow for them.

In the end, in order not to become a burden, he even reached into his chest and tried to crush his companions' hearts to make them leave quickly.

If this story were put in front of dozens of people, it would definitely be included in elementary school textbooks.

So after Chu Yi almost made a big mistake, Li Ming naturally took over everything that should have belonged to Chu Yi.

At the banquet, Zhao Shanhe had a very pleasant conversation with Li Ming. Zhao Shanhe praised Li Ming more than once for his promising future at a young age. In the end, he even recommended a supreme beastmaster to be his master.

Although the supreme beastmaster himself was not present, with Zhao Shanhe's recommendation and Li Ming's deeds, I believe this matter will most likely be accomplished.

On the other hand, on Chu Yi's side, there were only five people sitting at the table for twelve.

Chu Yi, Zhao Yuwei, Chu Qingshan, Lin Siyao, and Lin Siyao's mother Xu Ping.

No one knew what Lin Siyao’s father was busy with, and he was nowhere to be seen even after his daughter got into such a big trouble.

Or is it that you are not worried at all that your daughter might encounter any danger?
Anyway, this time only Xu Ping came with Lin Siyao's elders, and she didn't look particularly panicked. It was estimated that they had prepared a lot of life-saving equipment for their daughter.

The five people at the table had been friends for many years, so they were not restrained when eating and drinking. Chu Yi and Chu Qingshan, father and son, ate with relish, while the other three female relatives mainly chatted and occasionally lowered their heads to eat a few bites of food.

As for Chu Yi's speech on the stage just now, everyone tacitly did not mention it.

Before the meal started, Xu Ping comforted the couple, saying that everyone is young and frivolous. If I had Xiaoyi's achievements at the age of 12, I would definitely be more arrogant than him.

Now he has just been deceived by a bad guy and made a small mistake. Don’t you think he looks even cuter in this stupid way?

Hearing her best friend's words trying to make amends, Zhao Yuwei, as her mother, felt a little embarrassed.

From an adult's perspective, Chu Yi's remarks just now were definitely wrong.

It's a very simple question, even if it's all true, it shouldn't be asked.

If a person is too cautious, he will have no followers. You are so great and righteous, will anyone dare to get close to you in the future?

Besides, in today's world, if you have connections, you would think of using the back door.

If someone uses the back door, someone else will definitely be wronged.

A person who has been wronged certainly hates the abuse of power for personal gain, but he hates it most likely only because he is not the one who takes advantage.

If you really give him a chance to use the back door, let's see if he will take it.

The world is not black or white, but a chaotic gray.

Therefore, in this gloomy world, people still need to learn to blend in with the world and never be the first to stand out.

Of course, the couple certainly couldn’t say such things directly to their son. Wouldn’t that be instigating their son to be a bad guy?
So the son has to figure this out on his own. As for the couple, all we can say is that they don't have to worry at all.

They are officially titled beastmasters. As long as they don't make any mistakes based on principle, they can retire peacefully even if they just sit in their position and do nothing.

Now that our family has produced a world-famous little hero, the leaders of the unit have to be polite when they see them.

Otherwise, why do we talk about the iron rice bowl? This is the confidence that the iron rice bowl gives the couple, so they are not afraid of any subsequent revenge from Zhao Shanhe.

No matter how powerful Zhao Shanhe is, can he be more powerful than the organization?
Of course, subsequent promotions may require some effort.

However, after this incident, the couple also thought it through. Seeing their son grow up safely is more important than anything else. Whoever wants to do the risky things in the future can do it. As long as the family lives a good life, nothing is more important.

"Holy shit!"

A familiar voice sounded from behind Chu Yi. Chu Yi knew without even turning his head that the owner of the voice was Ross.

"I thought you were having a celebration party, and as the first hero, you should be surrounded by everyone, with countless glasses of wine handed to you, and the girls praising you for being so brave. How could you be so hated by everyone?"

Ross came to Chu Yi's side, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Why are you here?" Chu Yi refused to answer the question and changed the subject to ask Ross why he came.

"My teacher, Principal DeAndre, asked me to come here to give you a gift. After all, you saved our people in the underground palace. It would be too ungrateful if I didn't give you a reward."

Ross said, placing a beautifully wrapped gift box in front of Chu Yi, and said with a smile: "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect."

"You are so polite. Just come and give me a gift." Chu Yi put his hand on the gift box with a smile, "So you came here just to give me a gift, nothing else?"

"I didn't have any." Ross chuckled twice, "I just heard someone say that you seemed to have offended a big boss. You did this right after you made a contribution. You are more reckless than I thought."

Chu Yi chuckled: "I just said some things that should be said. It's not a question of whether it's reckless or not."

"If you can't make it here, you can consider immigrating to America. Principal DeAndre is eager to recruit talents like you. If there is a chance for us to swap, he will definitely knock me out, put me in a bag and send me to China as soon as possible."

Ross lowered his voice and said that after all, it was not a very glorious thing to poach people from someone's celebration party.

"Forget it, the current situation is pretty good." Chu Yi rejected Ross's invitation without hesitation.

Are you kidding? If he agreed to this, he would be criticized by others for the rest of his life. Chu Yi didn't want his newly established reputation to be infamous forever.

"It's definitely not a good option now, but you can't say in the future, but our door will always be open for you."

After saying that, Ross left the banquet.

Chu Yi opened the gift from Ross and found that it was three props called "Superman Potion".

"what is this?"

Chu Yi had never come into contact with American medicines, so he didn't know where to start when he took the medicine in his hand.

Lin Siyao took a glance and said, "It's a good thing, but not particularly good. Eating it can greatly improve your physical fitness. You and your two pets each get one portion, so it's a good reward."

"Will I give you something?" Zhao Yuwei asked cautiously.

Ever since she witnessed her son's narrow escape from death, she has become a little neurotic and always feels that everyone wants to harm her son.

What's more, these medicines were sent by people from America, so Zhao Yuwei became even more distrustful. After all, Pachlena was the scourge created by that group of people!
Chu Qingshan smiled and said, "Just take it to a pharmacy for testing. It only costs a few hundred dollars."

"Then I'll take it first, and use it later after I'm sure it's safe." Chu Yi put the potion into his storage ring. In this way, the banquet came to an end in an awkward atmosphere.

It was almost over, but Chu Yi, the great hero, didn't seem to get any real congratulations from everyone. If the post-production editing failed to produce enough footage, he would probably be criticized by netizens.

So the big guys gathered around with their wine glasses raised, expressing their goodwill to Chu Yi with warm words that meant nothing.

Of course, Chu Yi definitely can’t drink alcohol at his age, so he drank juice.

"Chu Yi, I heard a long time ago that you have talent. You are the best in martial arts and you are good at writing poems and lyrics. I wonder if you have any inspiration in this situation."

A middle-aged leader with a big belly said with a red face and a smile, he seemed to be quite looking forward to it.

If Chu Yi is really a talented person, the leader must have said this to give him a chance to perform.

At this time Chu Yi remembered that this leader seemed to be his parents' immediate superior, and his surname seemed to be Wang.

My parents have said before that President Wang takes good care of them and is a very good leader.
It seems that he really wants to show himself and change his image in the minds of the leaders.

But Chu Yi is very clear about his own ability. He can probably only recite 100 out of 300 Tang poems. How can he show his talent here?

Chu Qingshan immediately said, "President Wang, you are praising Chu Yi too much. This kid doesn't read much at home. The poems he wrote before were all nonsense. He doesn't have any poetic talent at all."

Family members know their own business. How can a father not know what his son likes to watch?
He has cleaned up the garbage in his son's room countless times. It is no exaggeration to say that the white papers are piled up like a mountain. You can imagine what is in the mobile phones and computers.

Instead of asking him to talk about poetry, let me talk to you about whether neon Tokyo is hot or not.

At the same time, Chu Yi had already lowered his head to complete the search. After confirming that there were no Xin Qiji and Su Shi in this world, he smiled and said, "There is a poem, but the literary talent may not be as good as everyone expected."

"It doesn't matter. Just write it down and let the uncles appreciate it."

President Wang said with a laugh, and it was obvious that he really wanted to help Chu Yi.

Chu Yi did not hesitate any longer and asked someone for white paper and a ballpoint pen.

At the same time, the cameraman turned the camera over and projected the image directly onto the large screen on the podium.

The guests at the banquet all looked at the big screen with great interest, wanting to see what kind of article Chu Yi could write.

Chu Yi held the pen in his hand, took a deep breath, and then wrote out a Song Dynasty poem that he had memorized many times before. This was also one of his favorite Song Dynasty poems.

"Don't listen to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, why not just hum and walk slowly!"

As soon as the first line came out, the originally noisy banquet suddenly became extremely quiet.

Except for those few students, who among those people present has not received higher education?

Even if you don't like ancient poetry, you must have been exposed to a lot of it since childhood. You can tell which works are good and which are bad at a glance.

As soon as the first sentence of this poem came out, the heroic feeling that came to one's face was simply unstoppable. Is this something that a young boy can write?

In shock and confusion, Chu Yi continued to write, and the vigorous and powerful Pang Zhonghua regular script appeared on the paper one after another:

"Bamboo sticks and awning shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? Ren Pingsheng in a misty rain."

“Is this Shangque?”

When President Wang saw this, he couldn't help but ask,

The words in the first stanza are already so inspiring, how much more passionate will the words in the second stanza be?
"Don't make a fuss, let the child finish writing first!"

An old man nearby slapped President Wang in annoyance, as if he was very angry that he had interrupted this beautiful thing that should have been accomplished overnight.

But Chu Yi was not really impressed. After finishing the first verse, he immediately started writing the second verse:

"The chilly autumn wind sobers me up, a little chilly, but the slanting sunlight on the mountaintops greets me. Looking back at the desolate place, I return, neither wind nor rain nor clear."

The pen fell, the poem was completed, and the banquet fell into silence.

After a long while, the old men finally shook their heads and said, "What a good word! What a good word!"

How could it be bad? This is Su Shi's Ding Fengbo, which can be regarded as the last poem of Su Shi in his later years.

The state of mind of this poem is simply not something that a twelve-year-old boy who is rising like the sun can possess.

But it doesn’t matter, I have already created more than one miracle.

Now that you have the blessing from the God of War, you can brag about being blessed by the Saint of Literature in a dream and speak eloquently. I believe no one will question it.

"Looking back at the desolate place, I return home, neither wind nor rain nor clear. It is so well written."

The expressions of the old men as they savored the words were as if they were tasting a glass of aged wine, leaving an endless aftertaste.

For them, this poem is the most resonant.

Although they are in high positions and stand at the top of all living beings, who can say that they had no regrets in their youth? Some of them may still be brooding over them until now.

But after reading this poem, I feel more or less relieved.

Sweet or bitter, life is only a hundred years.

Whether good or evil, you will eventually return to the dust.

No matter whether you can let it go or not, you will let it go in the end.

This short poem really makes people feel deeply moved.

Of course, different people will have different experiences when reading it.

When several students read the lyrics written by Chu Yi, they felt that he was using this poem to express his position, which was to never succumb to injustice.

The sentence "A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, so who is afraid of me?" is very clear. It translates to "I am barefoot and not afraid of those who wear shoes."

Although I don’t know if this understanding is accurate, several boys think it is pretty close.

Is this Chu Yi demonstrating to Zhao Shanhe?
No one knew, and no one asked.

Everyone just raised their hands and applauded, paying tribute to Chu Yi's overflowing talent.

Even without any interpretation, this poem can be regarded as a masterpiece among masterpieces.

You are truly worthy of being the little hero Chu Yi, who is both talented in literature and martial arts. If you were born a few hundred years earlier, wouldn't we have a few more poems required for the college entrance examination?
