Chapter 202 Xu Ao's Request
"Boss, if I miss this opportunity, even if one day I can really follow you and stand at the highest point of the entire universe, I will still be a useless person after all!"
Since Wu Yong's decision can no longer be changed, all Duan Ming can do is to fully support his decision.
The next night, the door of the villa was open, and Duan Ming sat in the living room, waiting for anyone who would come in.
At five o'clock the next morning, Duan Ming had been sitting here for eight hours, but no one came into the villa.
There were footsteps on the stairs. Duan Ming looked up and saw Tang Yaqing who had walked back and forth countless times that night.
Holding a cup of tea in her hand, she walked to Duan Ming and sat down.
"After all, this is a matter of life and death, so don't take it too seriously."
Duan Ming understood that this was Tang Yaqing comforting him. He smiled and held Tang Yaqing in his arms.
"Your husband, am I just a stingy person in your heart? I have known for a long time that I will probably not be able to wait for anyone this night. In this situation, I am not disappointed at all."
Listening to Duan Ming's story, Tang Yaqing only felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. Her husband was such a man who was unfazed by honor and disgrace and had long-term plans. It seemed as if he was leaning on Duan Ming's arms, and all wind and rain would be overcome. This man blocked it for himself.
Just when Duan Ming was about to lower his head and kiss Tang Yaqing's forehead, a light cough came from the door.
"Ahem! Should I come back later?"
Being hit by someone during her intimate act, Tang Yaqing blushed and broke out of Duan Ming's arms, running straight up the stairs.
Duan Ming recognized the visitor. His name was Xu Ao. He was one of the heirs of the Xu family and one of the original Dixing families. The leader of the younger generation that the company left behind on Fire Rock Beast.
At that time, a child on the fire rock beast accidentally bumped into Xu Ao. Duan Ming used thunderous means to make Xu Ao subdue.
Duan Ming still remembers that he asked Xu Ao why he wanted to stay in the Duan family, and Xu Ao answered like this.
"I want to see with my own eyes what kind of family can give a child such a sense of belonging. I also want to experience for myself how your Duan family is different from other families!"
Xu Ao has been following Duan Ming tepidly since he joined the Duan family, and has long been conquered by Duan Ming's personality charm.
But verbally, Xu Ao never admitted this.
He walked up to Duan Ming casually, not like a subordinate at all, but like a friend. He sat directly on the sofa without Duan Ming's permission.
"Are you here to see my joke? Seeing that no one responded to the notice issued by me, the head of the family?"
Xu Ao smiled, with a hint of pride indeed flashing on his face.
"If this were the words of the head of my Xu family, it would be absolutely impossible for no one to come."
Duan Ming's face was slightly unhappy: "Now that you have seen it and laughed at it, if you have nothing else, go back and rest."
The meaning of seeing off guests was obvious, but Xu Ao did not leave. Instead, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and put it on the table.
Duan Ming reached out and took it over and took a quick look. This was Xu Ao's resume!
It is said to be a resume, but in fact it only contains simple personal information. In the introduction column, there are six characters "Member of the Duan Family" written clearly.
There is no mention of his Xu family background on the entire resume, which also means that Xu Ao seems to regard himself as a true member of the Duan family!
"Do you want to participate in the experiment of integrating super power evolution metal?"
Xu Ao didn't answer but asked: "What? Isn't it possible? Or do you think I am not a member of the Duan family?"
The same question Duan Ming asked when Xu Ao joined the Duan family.
"Give me a reason!"
Xu Ao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and waved his hand towards Duan Ming: "You don't mind?"
Duan Ming nodded, Xu Ao lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said.
"To be honest, when I joined your Duan family, I just wanted to see whether the prestige you have now is just an illusion or well-deserved."
"Oh? Can you see it clearly now?"
"I see it clearly. I have to admit that at the same age, you became the head of the family and led a civilian family to this point. If it were me, I would never be able to do it."
If someone else had said these words, they would have been somewhat flattering, but Duan Ming believed that these were definitely Xu Ao's sincere words.
"Ever since I recognized you from the bottom of my heart, my only thought was to try not to fall too far behind you. But now you have superpowers and evolved superpowers. It seems that no matter how hard I try to catch up, I am still far away from you. Getting further and further away.”
In fact, it's not just Xu Ao who feels this way, every member of the Duan family feels this way. Duan Ming is no longer on the same level as them.
"Just when I was almost desperate, I had this opportunity. I had no reason not to seize it. This is the only opportunity that can narrow the gap between me and you! Do you dare to let me give it a try?"
This provocative sentence made Duan Ming's mouth curl up slightly.
"You have to think carefully. As long as you stay in the Duan family for another two years, I believe that when you return to your family, you will become the only successor to the head of the family. If you participate in this experiment, you may not survive. that time."
Turning over his palm, looking at the cigarette butt between his fingers that was about to go out, Xu Ao took another deep puff.
"A person's life is like a cigarette. Leaving it there and burning quietly will indeed extend some time, but it is boring. It is better to face the challenge, at least there was a flash of light!"
Although Duan Ming and Xu Ao are the same age, Duan Ming seems to see his former self in Xu Ao, the self who has nothing but never admits defeat!
"Go back and prepare. I guess you haven't slept all night. You still have a few hours to rest."
Xu Ao knew that Duan Ming agreed to his request, stood up with satisfaction, and said to Duan Ming before leaving.
"Thank you, I won't let you down."
Two hours later, Professor Dugu Er walked into the villa with sleepy eyes.
"Don't talk first! Let me guess! There won't be anyone who wants to participate?"
Looking at Professor Dugu Er sitting opposite him, Duan Ming handed the cup of tea he hadn't drunk to the professor.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. There are two of them. I think they are the two people in my Duan family who are most likely to endure the pain because they both have their own firm beliefs!"
