Quan Yuxun planned to take a small Flying Vehicle over, letting his people fly the large Flying Vehicle to a nearby open space to park.
This was because the helipad at Xia Chujian's Manor couldn't accommodate his large Flying Vehicle.
Xia Chujian tinkered in the central control room of her house for a while, granting Quan Yuxun's small Flying Vehicle a pass code, so it wouldn't be targeted by her family's air defense system.
She had to admit, Xia Chujian was growing more fond of the aerial defense system that Huo Yushen and Su Buyan had installed for her.
By the time she finished her operations, Quan Yuxun had already piloted the small Flying Vehicle into her Manor's airspace.
Quan Yuxun parked the small Flying Vehicle on the Manor's helipad and leisurely pushed open the hatch, stepping out.
Xia Chujian had already come to greet him.
She was wearing a very neutral Hunting Outfit-style shirt, sleeves rolled up to her elbows, the shirt tucked into her pants.
Matching casual trousers, with a black belt, made her legs look impossibly long.
Her hair had grown longer, draped over her shoulders.
Her eyes sparkled like stars, and her whole being radiated an energetic, upward-striving spirit.
If one ignored the red birthmark on her forehead, she was truly a spirited and beautiful woman.
Quan Yuxun smiled and reached out to her, "Congratulations to our newly minted Empire Top Scorer!"
Xia Chujian shook his hand, smiling as she said, "Chief Quan Da is too kind. My family is planning to host a banquet, and if Chief Quan Da can stay on Guiyuan Star for a few more days, I would be honored to have the chance to invite Chief Quan Da to grace us with your presence."
Quan Yuxun laughed heartily, "Xia Major and I are truly on the same wavelength! I've also come to offer my congratulations! And I was planning to invite you to a banquet, but it seems I'll be enjoying Xia Major's feast first..."
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "I couldn't ask for more! For Chief Quan Da to take time out of your busy schedule to attend our humble, commoner's banquet, you're really helping me out!"
Quan Yuxun walked with her towards the newly built Xia Family residence.
Looking at the four white pillars, Quan Yuxun said with emotion, "The last time I visited your home, it was still that old-fashioned residential building."
Xia Chujian thought of that building and also felt a pang, saying, "I thought I'd be living there forever..."
She had even spent the five thousand star coins she'd worked so hard to earn on renovations! Quan Yuxun regretted his words and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Is the banquet being held at your house? Do you have enough manpower? Would you like me to find you some helpers? Or get a few more Housekeeping Robots?"
Xia Chujian said, "Not at home, we're in contact with the big restaurants in Mulan City, and we've tentatively decided on Bai Wei Ju."
Ning Sa had taken her and her Aunt there to eat before, and she had a good impression of the place.
Although she thought the food there wasn't as good as her Aunt's cooking, her Aunt wasn't a chef and didn't need to prepare meals for so many people.
Bai Wei Ju would be just fine.
Quan Yuxun was a little disappointed, thinking that Xia Chujian's Aunt's excellent cooking could only be tasted if one lived in her house...
With that thought, Quan Yuxun decided not to return to his own large flat.
He said with a smile, "That's not bad either. Actually, everyone is coming to the banquet for Xia Major, what they eat is secondary."
Xia Chujian nodded, "You're all too kind, but I still hope everyone eats and drinks well."
"I'll contact the restaurant and may provide some fresh ingredients myself."
Quan Yuxun expressed his anticipation, "When the time comes, I must have a good taste."
As the two were about to walk up the steps, Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "I've made an appointment with Master Su to come here to discuss the contract."
"It also happens to be related to you, and I wonder if you mind if Master Su and I both stay at your house for a few days?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Su Buyan coming here and staying at her house was no problem.
But Quan Yuxun...
Xia Chujian said with an awkward smile, "Chief Quan Da, it's not that I mind, but I'm afraid you won't be used to staying in my poor, humble home..."
She remembered that at the end of last year, Quan Yuxun had only stayed in Mulan City for a few days, but he had specifically bought a house.
And the furnishings in the house, his daily necessities, were all brought with him.
She didn't want Quan Yuxun to turn her house into another "Quan Family" residence.
Quan Yuxun probably also remembered the end of last year, when he didn't really care about Xia Chujian's opinion.
But now, he was a little regretful.
However, the estrangement had already been created, and he could only make up for it slowly in the future.
He said without batting an eye, "I often travel on business, and sometimes I do things for the Quan Family that require me to conceal my identity. I've stayed in all sorts of places."
"It's just that when conditions permit, I never mistreat myself."
Xia Chujian nodded in agreement, "Chief Quan Da is right! If conditions permit, why should you mistreat yourself?"
"That would be too deliberately contrived."
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "Major Xia really understands me."
Xia Chujian said, "Chief Quan Da, please don't call me Major anymore, just call me by my name."
Quan Yuxun said, "Then can Major Xia call me by my name? You keep calling me Chief Quan Da, Chief Quan Da, and I feel embarrassed."
Xia Chujian thought, Quan Yuxun embarrassed? That can only fool the ignorant girls on the Star Network.
Of course, she also agreed that they were so familiar, it was a bit hypocritical to keep addressing each other by their positions.
She said, "Then I'll call you Young Master Quan."
Quan Yuxun said, "Why not call me by my name?"
Xia Chujian: "Want to hear the truth?"
Quan Yuxun leaned forward with a smile, making a very gentlemanly "please" gesture: "I'm all ears."
Xia Chujian said seriously, "Your name is a bit tongue-twisting, I'd rather call you Chief Quan Da, or Young Master Quan, take your pick."
Quan Yuxun: "..."
No one had ever said his name was tongue-twisting before.
He shook his head with a smile, "Whatever you like."
Then he said, "Then I'll call you Chujian, okay?"
Xia Chujian smiled, "Sure, my name is Chujian. But my friends all call me Sister Xia."
Quan Yuxun: "..."
To call a girl so much younger than him "Sister Xia", please forgive him for not being so thick-skinned.
He said with a smile, "If I call you Sister Xia, then do you have to call me Brother Quan?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Goosebumps were standing at attention!
Xia Chujian quickly waved her hand and said, "Young Master Quan, please don't! I can't take it!"
They tacitly didn't mention the names "Qilin" and "Yuanbao".
Because these were their code names when performing secret missions.
It was too embarrassing to say them publicly.
...
The two walked into the newly renovated mansion of the Xia Family.
Quan Yuxun looked up and saw a very spacious and bright room.
The towering ceiling ran through the entire three-story building.
Sunlight shone through the tempered glass on the roof, making the various green plants and flowers in the corner of the living room even more vibrant.
Those green plants and flowers, like Xia Chujian, were full of vitality even when growing indoors.
Facing the north side of the living room door were two staircases leading to the second floor.
The west wall was a huge high-definition display screen, pieced together from sixty-inch high-definition display screens.
A circle of corner sofas was placed in the center of the living room.
At this time, a child who looked no more than three years old was sitting on the floor in front of the sofa, playing a jigsaw puzzle.
A Big Black Dog was nestled beside him. Hearing someone enter, it merely raised its head to look before lying back down.
A Housekeeping Robot glided out from a door in the living room.
Perched on its hemispherical head was a tiny Teacup Dog.
The Teacup Dog had a jingling Lucky Cat pendant around its neck, and a snow-white Little Chubby Bird stood on its head.
Xia Chujian looked around but didn't see Si Xi. She guessed it must have gone to the basement with San Zong.
Because they might have guests coming over these days, Xia Chujian had communicated with Aunt Chen, Zhu Yingying, and San Zong, asking them to stay in the basement for the time being and not come up.
Anyway, there were two suites in the basement, with all kinds of equipment, including a kitchen and a bathroom.
They could live in the basement for a month without any problems.
It might feel stuffy, but compared to the risk of being discovered by others, this stuffiness was nothing.
Even Zhu Yingying didn't find it hard to bear.
Besides, she had a Smart Bracelet to access the Star Network, so she didn't feel disconnected from society at all.
San Zong only regretted that he might not be able to go out and farm for several days.
But it was a good opportunity to read some professional books on agricultural technology on the Star Network.
Si Xi should be with San Zong at this time.
Xia Chujian's estimation was very accurate. Si Xi was indeed with San Zong at this moment.
Si Xi was playing clingy with her beloved plant, Kong Sang.
San Zong was re-covering the thriving Blood Kirin with humus soil.
...
In the living room, Xia Chujian composed herself and introduced Quan Yuxun: "This is Wu Fu, that's Da Hei. This is Liu Shun, the Housekeeping Robot you sent to my family, do you remember?"
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "You even gave it a name?"
Xia Chujian took it for granted: "Of course, it's part of my family, so of course it needs a name."
Then she solemnly introduced the Teacup Dog and Little Chubby Bird on Liu Shun's head, saying, "These are A Wù and A Yuan."
Quan Yuxun just assumed that the little girl liked keeping pets, and said with a smile, "You like Teacup Dogs? What breed is it?"
Xia Chujian said awkwardly, "... They're just Small Dog and Little Chubby Bird that people didn't want, there's no pedigree certificate..."
Quan Yuxun said, "This Small Dog looks quite spirited. Quan Caiwei also wanted to keep a Teacup Dog, but her mother didn't agree, so she's still very regretful."
Xia Chujian's expression was a little strange.
She had even thought that if she couldn't afford to keep A Wù, she would give it to Quan Caiwei...
With the Quan Family's wealth, they wouldn't be unable to support it, right? But she really couldn't bear to part with it.
She'd wait until she took A Wù and A Yuan to the Exotic Beast Forest before deciding.
It wouldn't be too late to find a solution if she really couldn't keep them alive.
Xia Chujian said to Liu Shun, "Where's my Aunt?"
Liu Shun's electronic synthesized voice sounded more rigid than usual, saying, "Xia Gugu has gone to work."
Xia Chujian nodded: "Go tell Senior Colonel Meng that Chief Quan Da has arrived."
Liu Shun went to notify Meng Guanghui.
By the time Meng Guanghui came down, Xia Chujian had already received a message from Su Buyan saying that he would be there soon.
Xia Chujian hurriedly said, "Leader, this is Chief Quan Da. He will be staying at my house for a few days and will also attend our banquet."
"Why don't we give the invitation directly to Quan Shao?"
Meng Guanghui was very surprised and hurriedly shook hands with Quan Yuxun, saying, "I didn't expect Chief Quan Da to come in person! With your presence at our Chujian's National Higher Education Entrance Examination banquet, it will surely bring Humble Home Receives Glory!"
It could be predicted that Quan Yuxun's personal attendance at Xia Chujian's National Higher Education Entrance Examination banquet would directly elevate the level of this banquet to the Empire Top Tier.
This is the second update for today. There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
It's the end of the month, everyone, remember to cast your Moon Tickets!
