102: Chapter 102: Ballroom 102: Chapter 102: Ballroom Chen Hai was completely unaware of everything Hou Donggui had done for him.

He found a small inn, rented a room, and made do for the night with his cousin Sun Jinzhong.

The next day, in the morning, at Liuyuan No.1 Middle School, inside an office.

“Sun, are you kidding me?

Is this the expert you told me about?”

A slender man wearing black pants and a white shirt, and glasses, looked down from above and scrutinized Sun Jinzhong and Chen Hai, who had just arrived.

He looked displeased and let out a snort.

This glasses-wearing man was naturally Director Tao, mentioned by Sun Jinzhong.

In the minds of ordinary people, a true master might not look like a sage every time, but at least they should have some semblance of a master, right?

But the Chen Hai before him…

A 17- or 18-year-old kid with a youthful face, neither muscular nor tall.

Even someone who didn’t judge by appearances would find it extremely difficult to associate him with a true master after seeing Chen Hai.

“Director Tao, this Master Chen really has true skills!”

“If you don’t believe it, you can set a test, let him demonstrate his abilities!”

“When that time comes, I guarantee that you will have no more doubts about Master Chen!”

Sun Jinzhong hastily explained with a smile on his face.

He didn’t mention that Chen Hai was his cousin to gain more trust; he merely referred to him as Master Chen.

“Sun, since your attitude is still decent, I won’t say I won’t give you a chance!”

“Come on, I’m standing right here.

Let’s see what abilities this Master Chen from your mouth can show me?”

Director Tao said disdainfully, his mouth curling.

Although he spoke in this manner, his expression clearly showed a hint of mockery.

In his mind, a so-called master usually performed their rituals at night, and before doing so, they required quite a bit of preparation, like setting up an altar with incense and the like.

But at this moment, it was broad daylight, and both Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong were empty-handed.

Without any preparations, what abilities could they possibly demonstrate?

Director Tao’s words at this moment were essentially no different from directly issuing an order for them to leave!

His young age was certainly an obstacle.

Without any previous dealings, it was very difficult for him to be trusted.

Faced with this situation, Chen Hai also had no solution.

He sighed lightly, took a step forward, and faced Director Tao head-on.

“Director Tao, if you want to see my abilities, sure, no problem!”

“Come on, watch me…”

Chen Hai closed his eyes slightly and began sensing the magnetic field frequency emanating from Director Tao’s body.

A few minutes later.

A sharp scream rose from the office.

The one who had previously seemed high and mighty, acting all commanding, Director Tao was now pale-faced, cowering in the corner of the office, his body still shaking uncontrollably.

A monster, tall as a man and somewhat resembling a leech in its ferociousness, leaped out of Chen Hai’s body and suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Those who had never witnessed such a scene could never imagine how terrifying it was!

Clearly frightened, Director Tao, with a look of panic, cowered in the corner of the office.

It took more than ten minutes for him to barely stand up and come back in front of Chen Hai.

“Master Chen, what was that just now…” With a bit of reverence and a glance at Chen Hai, Director Tao hesitated to finish his sentence.

“Just a little trick, not worth mentioning at all!”

“I just wonder if this little trick of mine can catch the eye of Director Tao!”

Chen Hai smiled enigmatically, keeping them in suspense.

A true master must act the part of one.

Being young was already a disadvantage; if his behavior was like that of a naive kid, it would only undermine his status.

“I, of course, believe in Master Chen’s abilities!”

Director Tao quickly nodded.

After a short pause, he added, “The decision about the school’s front gate was made by several school leaders.”

“They are worried about leaving a stain on their careers.

They’ve given me full authority to handle this matter.”

“If the two of you take on this job, I naturally have no issue with it, but the leaders above, although they won’t show themselves, will definitely be watching in secret.”

“Once you undertake this, they won’t interfere with how you do it.

However, to secure that information consulting fee, you will definitely need their approval after satisfying them.”

After finishing his spiel, Director Tao glanced at Chen Hai, seemingly worried that his words might displease him.

“As it should be, since I’ve taken this on, I will certainly resolve the root of the issue completely.”

“If the school leaders are watching from the shadows, the outcome will surely satisfy them.”

Chen Hai replied with a smile.

To dig out the thing beneath the ground, he would need arrangements and cooperation from Director Tao’s end.

After discussing for a while and deciding to officially start the work the next morning, Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong finally left the No.1 High School campus.

In the evening, shortly before eight o’clock.

At East Street, near the fruit market, at the entrance of the newly opened Happy Dance Hall.

“Cuz, what’s the point of holed up in the inn all day?

I dragged you here to broaden your horizons!”

“Let me tell you, this place is filled with girls at night.

That Lili you saw before, I met her right here.”

“If you’re not interested in girls with a worldly air like Lili, that’s fine.”

“The people’s hospital is just past the Happy Dance Hall.

The intern nurses from the hospital like to come here to have fun when they’re off duty.

There are plenty of beauties among them!”

Having settled their business, the spirits of the cousin pair were high.

After spending an afternoon in the hotel room, bored to the point of restlessness, Sun Jinzhong dragged Chen Hai to this place.

Arriving at the entrance of the Happy Dance Hall, Chen Hai was clearly reluctant.

Deep down, he always felt that the young people hanging around dance halls seemed a bit unruly.

Having stayed there for a while, he just didn’t want to go in, and Sun Jinzhong insisted on persuading him.

“Cuz, we’re already here.

It’s no use staying at the entrance of the dance hall, right?”

“Just take a couple of rounds inside.

If you find it boring, we can sit for a while and then head back to the inn.”

“With me here, you have nothing to worry about.

I’m familiar with this place…”

Sun Jinzhong had been talking for a long time, and since Chen Hai was still unwilling to go in, he was becoming a bit impatient, his lips puckering.

“I can’t dance; there’s no point in going in.”

“Brother Zhong, if you really want to go have fun, fine, I’ll accompany you, but let’s get this straight, you’ll do your thing, and I’ll just sit around at most!”

Unable to resist Sun Jinzhong any longer, Chen Hai hesitated for a while and finally nodded in agreement.
