Chapter 165 Good News and Bad News
On his first day as the contract boss, Lin Manman lived in chaos. In his sleep, he was filled with the fear of being dominated by the panda who mouthed "old girl".
The next day, with the same panda eyes as his boss, Meng Wenbin sent him to the research institute to work for Gao Zhixian.
However, Meng Wenbin himself did not stay at the research institute today because he had made an appointment with Ms. Mei Junwen from the Master Tower in advance to introduce Lin Ruochen to her today.
In fact, Lin Manman also wanted to go and watch, but Meng Wenbin used her future precious spiritual pet to force her to go to the research institute and work hard.
Under the double torture of Gao Zhixian and the boss, Lin Manman lived happily for another day.
When Meng Wenbin came to pick her up, she was asking Pippi to stabilize her mood. Sure enough, Pippi was the god of the cows and horses! !
"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to listen to?" Meng Wenbin said to Lin Manman on the road.
Lin Manman showed a smile full of Buddha nature, "It's okay, I can accept any news now."
Meng Wenbin:......
He just said that going to work would drive everyone crazy equally, right? It's only the second day of work, and this kid seems to be stupid...
Meng Wenbin, who had skipped work for a day, coughed guiltily.
"The good news is that Ms. Mei Junwen has accepted your brother as her apprentice and will take him to report to the new school in the next two days."
"The bad news is that your brother may have to sign a confidentiality agreement because he wants to join the Mage Tower. After signing the confidentiality agreement, he will not be able to disclose his family relationship."
"That is to say, he can no longer live with you, and he can no longer have too close contact with you in public."
After listening to Meng Wenbin's words, Lin Manman gradually woke up.
It is certainly a good thing that Lin Ruochen can join the Mage Tower. It is the birthplace of China's cutting-edge technology. From official weapons, skill book technology, etc. to civilian magic technology, most of them are made by the Mage Tower.
It can be said that it is unique to be able to enter the Mage Tower at Lin Ruochen's age and level. This is most likely due to Lin Ruochen's early awakening of the second profession.
In view of some important research content of the Mage Tower, she has to sign a confidentiality agreement and she can understand that the family relationship is not disclosed.
Lin Ruochen is only a fourth-level mage. He does not have the absolute strength like Mei Junwen to protect the family behind him. Not disclosing the family relationship is also a kind of protection for her and Lin's mother.
Lin Manman couldn't help but feel a little depressed when she thought that her brother, who had just woken up not long ago, would be separated again before being reunited with them for a few days, and that he might even have to pretend to be a stranger when they meet outside in the future.
"Actually, not making it public is a good thing for him and for you. You also know that your teacher and I are both extremely troublesome and dangerous existences in the eyes of many people in the imperial capital."
"After I openly accept you as my disciple, you may not be in less trouble than him."
"This is one of the reasons why I am unwilling to accept you brothers and sisters together."
Meng Wenbin patted his little apprentice's head as if to comfort her, but what he said made Lin Manman unable to relax.
Lin Manman looked at him with a complicated look. What happened in Jinling made her understand that if she accepted him as her teacher, she would definitely have a lot of trouble in the future.
But in order to find a strong enough backer for herself, she still chose him. Now that he said it so straightforwardly, she really didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong.
"Teacher, isn't Ms. Mei Junwen from the Mei family, one of the ten surnamed families? Why can you still persuade her to accept my brother as a disciple?" Didn't the ten surnamed families oppose his idea?
Meng Wenbin raised his eyebrows, "Although I have different opinions from the people of the Ten Surname Family, it does not mean that they and I are mortal enemies."
"The ten surnamed families also have different opinions on the matter of opposing all people to control beasts. For example, the Mei family's point of view is that the current world situation is turbulent. They believe that limited resources should be concentrated on improving higher-level masters. Rather than using it to uplift the general public.”
"As a family of beast masters, the Feng family's point of view is that the talented beast masters cannot share it among themselves even in the current environment. Adding a large proportion of ordinary people to snatch the limited resources will bring down the Chinese beast masters. The overall standard of the beast master.”
"The Wang family... don't mention it. Some of their ideas are still stuck in the era of ancient aristocratic families. If you meet the Wang family in the future, it will be a pleasure."
"So some members of the Ten Surname Family and I only have different views on China's future development, and we have not reached the point of being hostile to each other."
"Uh... there are probably some who are hostile..."
Originally, Lin Manman was still deep in thought because of his previous words, feeling that her previous thoughts on this issue might be a bit shallow. However, Meng Wenbin added this sentence, which made her feel that the other party was trying to cover up... Meng Wenbin saw his young apprentice surrendering Lai's eyes were a little strange, and he coughed and changed the subject, "In short, my private relationship with Ms. Mei Junwen is pretty good..."
"But I seem to have heard Principal Lin say that you and Ms. Mei Junwen have never competed for an apprentice..."
"Who says I didn't take it? I just respect other people's choices. That little girl is more interested in some miscellaneous research, so I'll leave it to her."
I wonder if this incident left any special impression in Meng Wenbin's heart. Meng Wenbin, who has always been open-minded and open-minded, actually developed a strange desire to win.
Lin Manman felt that if the boss was here at this time, he should be able to break his defense in just two words.
But after all, he is his teacher, so he should save some face for the other party.
While the two were talking, Feilong had already returned to Meng Wenbin's residence.
When Lin Manman walked in, she saw Lin's mother pulling Lin Ruochen to sit on the sofa in the living room. Her eyes were red, but she was trying hard to smile.
When Lin Ruochen saw them coming in, she politely greeted Meng Wenbin and waved to her.
"Mr. Meng should have told you everything, right?"
Mother Lin saw her coming and pulled her to sit on the other side of her.
"Um……"
"The teacher has found a place for me to stay near her. After having this dinner with you, it's time for me to leave."
"Mr. Xia Ming has established an anonymous chat room, which is very hidden and safe. Although we will not be able to meet in real life often in the future, it is still very simple to make video calls."
Lin Manman had forgotten that Xia Ming had this ability.
Ever since he came to the Imperial Capital, Xia Ming had been missing except for the first day he sent her here.
In addition, the boss had been in dire straits with her these past two days, and she almost forgot about his existence.
"Don't worry about me. I've asked before. The distance between the Mage Tower and here is not as far as when you went to college. As long as I know you are safe, I will feel at ease."
Mother Lin knew that he said so much mainly to appease her. She also knew that it was time for these children to spread their wings, and she would not let herself become a hindrance to them.
Lin Manman also grabbed Lin's mother's hand, "You just go to the Master Tower and study hard. I have already been the head of our family, so you don't need to worry."
Mother Lin said cooperatively: "Yes, Manman has been the head of our family for a long time."
Lin Ruochen:......
I wasn't comforted at all, thank you.
He glanced helplessly at his proud sister, "Okay, head of the house, I will leave my mother to you to take good care of her. I will come back to check when there is family leave in the Mage Tower."
When Lin Manman heard that he still had a chance to come back to meet him, he felt much more relaxed. The proud expression on his face was already a reflection of his boss.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Next time we meet, I'll show you the strength of the head of the family!"
The two brothers and sisters were laughing and joking, and Mother Lin's mood was also aroused. The family had dinner with Meng Wenbin, and finally Meng Wenbin sent him away.
Lin Manman looked at Mother Lin, whose expression turned gloomy after watching Lin Ruochen leave, thinking that she had to find something for her to do.
Now that her brother is gone, she won't be able to see each other as she wants. She will have to travel between school and research institute, and she will definitely not have much time to spend with her mother.
If she was left alone in this villa with nothing to do, sooner or later something would go wrong.
It seems that her store opening plan needs to be advanced...
