Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Chapter 135: Chapter 105: The Favor of the Big Shot, Chen 94’s Path to Success – Part 6 Chapter 135: Chapter 105: The Favor of the Big Shot, Chen 94’s Path to Success – Part 6 From now on, anyone who wanted to mess with him would have to think twice.

This was the opportunity that so many people longed for and couldn’t get!

At this moment, Chen Jie really wanted to kneel down on one knee and say, “Jiu Si has roamed aimlessly for half his life, regretting not finding a true master.

If you are willing, I would be honored to become your adoptive son.”

The term ‘adoptive father’ meant a tilt of countless resources.

To achieve great things, besides personal effort, choosing a good backer at times is also very important.

Currently, Peng Shizhong perfectly met his expectations.

However, Chen Jie was quite reserved, although it was Peng Shizhong who wanted him to become his adoptive son and bring this talent under his wing.

Yet, he was also moved, but acting too eagerly was not appropriate, as it would be too embarrassing to kneel and kowtow right away.

Thus, Chen Jie acted very hesitant.

Doctor Bai, who was beside him, was very anxious and kicked Chen Jie under the table.

This really was a good opportunity.

Although Bai Wenjing had quite a network in the Fishing Guild, even using all his connections might not be enough to persuade Peng Shizhong to take someone as his adoptive son.

It was an opportunity that couldn’t be asked for.

It was you, Chen Jiusi, who attracted this opportunity through your potential.

If you don’t seize it, just resign yourself to retiring in Xiantao Town.

Why harbor any ambitions at all?

Chen Jie looked at Doctor Bai, who said, “Agree!

Sect Master Peng does not easily adopt sons!”

“Yes, Jiu Si, it’s such a good opportunity, agree!”

Wu Zhong also urged from the side.

It was fortunate that Wu Hong was not at this dinner.

Since Wu Hong was not part of the Fishing Guild, he was having dinner somewhere else with Zhang Liye.

But had he been there, he definitely would have encouraged Chen Jie to accept the role of adoptive son.

It’s known that becoming the adoptive son of an Energy Transformation Master is extremely difficult.

Furthermore, this Energy Transformation Master didn’t ask anything of you in return; he had people to support him in his old age, but he could still bring you boundless wealth and power.

Only a fool would refuse to accept him as an adoptive father!

Peng Shizhong was very patient, took a sip of the wine, and then Feng Xuan also spoke up, “Jiu Si, the adoptive father does not easily take sons.

You cannot reject his kind offer, agree!”

Zheng Chuan remained silent.

However, his eyes were filled with mockery.

Would this fool really refuse?

The title of ‘adoptive father’ could save you at least thirty years of struggle.

He really hoped he was that naive to say, ‘I rely solely on my own efforts for my future.

How can a true man accept another as an adoptive father?

I, Chen Jiusi, would never do such a thing!’

Then Zheng Chuan would really prepare to go back and set off fireworks to celebrate.

And take the chance to use his connections to deal with him properly.

His own cousin wasn’t so easy to kill.

Even if he didn’t act personally, Gu Qingfeng, grieving for his deceased junior, would probably come and deal with him.

If he knew that Chen Jiusi was not Peng Shizhong’s adoptive son, he might even come to eliminate this young man for that reason.

You think this title of ‘adoptive father’ is a trifle?

It’s the protection of the powerful, offering wealth and power!

Oh, Chen Jiusi, I hope you’re a fool to refuse!

Chen Jie, of course, knew all this, and hearing everyone’s persuasion, he stood up, bowed very formally to Peng Shizhong, and then said, “Hall Master willing to accept Jiu Si as his adoptive son is a blessing for my eight past generations.

But I feel apprehensive, fearing that my limited talents and learning might disgrace you, hence my hesitation.”

“But after hearing the advice of the master, Uncle Zhong, and Brother Feng, I understand the good intentions of you all.

If the Hall Master does not despise me, I would be willing to accept him as my adoptive father, with no regrets in this lifetime!”

Peng Shizhong burst out laughing after hearing this, “Hahaha…

good, good, Jiu Si, I take you as my adoptive son.

Once we leave, bring your family and come back to the county with me.”

“At that time, I will organize a ceremony to formally confirm our father-son relationship, and at the same time let the brothers in White Tiger Hall and other divisions of the Fishing Guild recognize their new Young Manager!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie hurriedly replied with a fist salute: “I’ll follow the Hall Master’s arrangements.”

“Still calling me Hall Master?”

“Adoptive father.”

Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie and said, “Hmm, good, go back and get ready.

After we finish the big event tomorrow, you’ll come back to the county with me for a ceremony to officially take you as my adoptive son!”

After saying this, Peng Shizhong raised his glass and laughed, “Come, everyone drink this cup fully.

Today I, Peng Shizhong, take Jiu Si, this Qilin’er, and it’s a joyous occasion.

Let’s drink to our hearts’ content and not return sober!”

“To the Hall Master!”

Everyone raised their glasses, and their gaze towards Chen Jie changed immediately.

When he first entered, he was a hero, and as a hero, he was respected, but he had no authority to command them, nor to lead them.

Even in rank, a few ship captains ranked above Jiu Si.

But now it was different; as Peng Shizhong’s prospective adoptive son, he was to be the new Young Manager of White Tiger Hall, a real middle-level leader, a bit of a big shot.

He truly had the authority over them now.

At this moment, the Fishing Guild Disciples felt complicated emotions—envy, jealousy, and resentment were not rare.

But some things are just not enviable, and Chen Jiusi did have the capability, so the crowd looked at him with admiration.

Knowing that from this moment on, the gap between Chen Jiusi and them had widened.

They would continue to waste their years in this small place, but Chen Jie was about to enter the county town, where the sky’s the limit and the sea is vast, stepping into the ranks of the elite.

Sometimes, life’s opportunities are just like that.

Peng Shizhong was very happy, and he genuinely liked Chen Jie.

Some people you just like at first sight and admire, while others you know for a lifetime and still keep your guard up—that’s the issue of fate.

“Come, a toast to Brother Jiu Si!”

After several drinks, Peng Shizhong left with Doctor Bai, a big shot like him sitting too long makes others unable to relax.

Thus, once he left, the atmosphere livened up below, and many came forward to toast Chen Jie.

The address also seamlessly changed from Brother Jiu Si to Jiu Si!

At that moment, every Fishing Guild Disciple including the Third Captain and Fourth Captain came to offer their toasts.

Chen Jie mingled with them, exchanging pleasantries.

And the Third Captain, with respectful eagerness, said, “Brother Jiu Si, from now on, we are your younger brothers.

When you make it big in the county, don’t forget about your brothers back in Xiantao Town.”

“Yes, Brother Jiu Si, if you achieve wealth and rank, do not forget each other.

When the time comes, please also give us a boost.”

“Brother Jiu Si, please take care of us in the future.

I’ll finish this drink, you take your time…”
