Chapter 494: Double Standards
With the matter of [AliveAfter500Years] settled, Nanfeng was much more relaxed as the remaining matters werenât that urgent. Nanfeng then gave a report of work matters for the past few days and discussed with Fang Zhao about the plan to purchase land.
On the topic of buying land, Nanfeng excessively praised Fang Zhao for his farsightedness. Because Fang Zhao had not made a move back then, wouldnât he now be able to pool money to purchase an even larger plot of land to construct his collection hall?
Now, Nanfeng clearly understood he just needed to follow Fang Zhaoâs instructions. Fang Zhao was much more knowledgeable compared to himself when it came to news and directives of the upper echelons.
Nanfeng finished reporting all his matters before asking his questions.
âBoss, wasnât this lockbox always kept in the storehouse? Are you using it to safekeep belongings? I heard from someone that these electronic lockboxes canât be binded to a personal terminal. You wonât know immediately if it is taken, and it may be difficult to retrieve.â
Nanfeng meant that this sort of electronic lockbox wasnât secure enough. It wasnât meant for important items.
Fang Zhao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Nanfeng didnât say anything else after that. But, he felt that Curly Hairâs sobs had become louder.
Since Fang Zhao didnât have any comment on his report, Nanfeng no longer took up Fang Zhaoâs time. Fang Zhao still had to handle matters related to the game.
This incident had caused quite a huge disturbance this time, especially in the esports circles. It was as if a hurricane had passed through and changed the perspectives of many. Thus, â#Crazy point-sweeping demon 2.0â became the topic of the year in esports circles.
While he lamented about his bossâs ability to create news, Nanfeng walked over to Curly Hairâs side by the wall.
Nanfeng had accomplished his official work and now had time to console Curly Hair. His heart ached tenderly for this little dog.
He patted Curly Hairâs head and used a piece of tissue paper to dab away Curly Hairâs tears.
âDid you cause trouble again?â
Even though Nanfeng reckoned it was Boss mistreating Curly Hair, Nanfeng still had to ensure his own survival when he was still in Fang Zhaoâs hearing range.
Within this range, everything that Boss did was correct! The employer was king.
Therefore, he could only blame Curly Hair.
Curly Hair cried even harder when Nanfeng said that. He looked really miserable.
Nanfeng hurriedly continued wiping away Curly Hairâs tears with the tissue.
âOh, donât cry, donât cry. Curly Hair, donât cry. Are you hurt?â
Nanfeng scrutinized Curly Hairâs body carefully and didnât notice any injuries. Although Curly Hair was crying really hard, his posture facing the wall still seemed fine. Yan Biao and Zuo Yu didnât seem worried either, so Nanfeng relaxed a little. But why would Curly Hair cry over nothing? Nanfeng thought a little consolation would help.
Curly Hair bawled without caring about anything else. He took no notice of Nanfeng.
First, he was upset that his precious things had been confiscated by Fang Zhao and he wouldnât be able to play with them.
Secondly, he had received a beating.
This was the first time he had ever received such a beating.
Is this how it felt like being hit?
Every single hit felt as painful as his flesh being cut up.
Of course, Curly Hair didnât know why it hurt so much. His body didnât really feel it. He didnât understand that it was actually his heart hurting each time he was struck.
Before he began the beating, Fang Zhao had instructed Curly Hair to focus his attention on his emotions to make sure he would remember this lesson. His bodyâs pain was secondary.
On top of the confiscation and his beating, Curly Hair was also miserable because he still had homework and tests.
Fang Zhaoâs opinion was that since Curly Hair could game for twelve hours straight, it meant that he had too much free time. Thus, his online lessons and assignments increased. The question bank was refreshed. The quizzes every three days became daily quizzes, and now there were also three exams per week.
Also, since he had caused a topic of the year, Curly Hair had to write a composition on this hotly discussed topic. An 8000 word essay was to be submitted within a week.
Therefore, after Curly Hair was done facing the wall, he had to attend classes, do homework, take tests, and write a self-reflection essay.
Just the thought made Curly Hairâs head hurt. Nanfengâs efforts to soothe him didnât have any effect. After all, Nanfeng couldnât help him write essays.
Then, his dog ears picked up a phrase: âMake amends for your mistakes by doing good.â
He understood this phrase. It had come up in a test a few days back.
Nanfeng was still talking.
âCurly Hair, Boss will be happy if you do good deeds. He might even reward you! For example, go catch thieves! Bite them with all your strength! Especially those paparazzi taking sneak shots. Bite first, talk later!â
Curly Hair had already gotten a rabies shot before and this island was private property. In Nanfengâs opinion, any trespasser who was bitten deserved it!
Most reporters wouldnât dare mess with a meritorious service dog.
âBite if you find one! Bite both if there are two! Bite as many as you can! I will take responsibility for any issue!â
So what if they get bitten? How serious can a small dogâs bite be?
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu: ââŠâ
The heck! Stop instilling such terrifying thoughts in him!
Do you even know how big his bite is?!!
He can even eat a mecha!!!
And you will take responsibility if there is any issue? Can you even handle it?!!
Nanfeng didnât notice anything wrong with his words and continued, âOf course, if you come across anything you canât handle, just call out and start running! Your tiny life is a priority!â
Trespassers who can evade the islandâs security systems are surely very capable. Curly Hair is but a tiny dog. If he really encounters a trespasser, barking out a warning is already accomplishing his duty. This is a meritorious service dog and a priceless treasure we are talking about!
Nanfengâs heart would ache if even a strand of Curly Hairâs fur was hurt. He didnât want Curly Hair to defend the house with his life. It was okay for Curly Hair to stay a pet. Was there any need for Boss to have such high expectations for Curly Hair?
Nanfeng sighed multiple times as he thought to himself.
Curly Hair had only listened up to âmake amends for your mistakes by doing goodâ. His eyes lit up.
Nanfeng smiled when he noticed that Curly Hair had finally stopped crying. He shot Yan Biao and Zuo Yu dissatisfied looks.
, when Iâm not here, you guys should spend more time with Curly Hair. Boss is always busy. If we canât help with other stuff, we can at least look after the dog. Besides bringing him for walks, you guys should still talk to Curly Hair. Dogs need company!â
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu: ââŠâ
They had stiff looks on their faces.
We eagerly await the day where you discover his true form. Will you still be able to say that so calmly at that time, dear comrade?
On the second day after the âcrazy point-sweeping demonâ had caused a racket in the esports circles, Fang Zhao and Silver Wing jointly made a statement clarifying that this wasnât any special battle strategy of Silver Wingâs and that it had all been Fang Zhaoâs own personal actions. Furthermore, Fang Zhao publicly announced that he wouldnât be giving up music and that he wouldnât log on in the next one month.
Despite his explanation, not everyone believed what he said.
âLeaving after showing off?â
âAfter this incident, Fang Zhaoâs God status is cemented and unshakable. Everyone who witnessed this will always remember him. It feels like Fang Zhao has some other strategy in mind.â
âNot necessarily. Fang Zhao might just be seeking inspiration. Them artists are very crazy.â
âMaybe he was just letting off some steam playing games because he is under a lot of pressure?â
âIs he really not gaming anymore? How about playing for another couple of days! I just started playing this game! I even had the intention of making a pilgrimage to see God!â
At the retirement home for former officials in Yanbei.
Great-grandfather Zhao had a relieved smile after seeing Fang Zhaoâs latest announcement.
Great-grandfather Fang preferred music over esports. He felt that music was more prestigious. For many people, esports wasnât part of the arts.
Of course, if Fang Zhao chose to give up music and reenter the esports scene once again, Great-grandfather Fang would also support him wholeheartedly.
After Fang Zhaoâs statement, some in the family clanâs group chat said that Fang Zhao was âgetting addicted to gaming while slacking off from musicâ. Great-grandfather Fang immediately responded to them.
âLittle Zhao just has wide interests and many talents!â
There were some who werenât happy. âWhen our children lay games, you call them slackers, but when Fang Zhao games for twelve hours straight when heâs supposed to be composing, you call it âhaving wide interests and many talentsâ?
âThis is totally double standards!
Great-grandfather Fang didnât feel that he was in any way wrong. He replied righteously, âHow can this be compared? Your little children sneak off to play games before doing a single bit of homework. When have they passed a single examination? Look at Little Zhao! Were any of his music works shoddy? Were there any that werenât exquisite! Was there any piece that didnât fetch a high price?! Who can say he is wrong for playing games when he has made good music?!â
Of course, Great-grandfather Fang couldnât deny that he was biased.
No, this is just human nature!
Isnât it normal to be biased? Whatâs strange about it? Everyone has bias!
After Fang Zhao became the ambassador of the Outer Space Immigration Plan, Great-grandfather Fang had even specifically called other children, grandchildren and later generations individually to knock some sense into them. He didnât want them to burden Fang Zhao.
No one is to seek out Fang Zhao with regards to the Outer Space Immigration Plan. Settle your difficulties on your own! After all, it is only still at the application stage. Whether you want to immigrate or establish a foothold on a second home, this old man doesnât give a damn! If you are capable, go ahead! But, I will cut ties with anyone who tries to use Fang Zhaoâs status as image ambassador to bend the rules!
Everyone in the Fang family knew that this old man was stubborn and his bias knew no boundaries. They could still request some help from the old master if they faced difficulties in their life or career but they could forget about anything else besides that.
