Chapter 2747: Chapter 2742: A Minor Episode

Gan Zuoxun? Actually, my relationship with your father isn’t much deeper than with you.

And as everyone knows, it’s impolite to talk about people behind their backs.

Faced with Gan Baobao’s request, Fu Qian couldn’t help but sigh; this is the price of diligence.

Not only was it an unexpected visitor, they even presented an unreasonable request.

To insist on extending business hours, this is the outcome.

"How to view Gan Zuoxun," even the questioning format is so classic.

The problem is that I really am not familiar with him, answering forcibly would be met with criticism.

"Very brave."

Imagining the serious consequences, Fu Qian directly forced an answer.

The newly appointed municipal official, if nothing else, certainly has an adventurous spirit.

Earlier to break the Shangjing deadlock, he even used himself as bait, cleverly introduced the power of the Night Watchman to strike against oppressors, gaining more initiative.

Though the final result was ideal, it even triggered Lord Ambro’s tragedy to some extent.

But for a contestant with ordinary human qualities, calling it dancing on eggs seemed understatement, truly having great courage.

"Courage..."

However, even with this not low evaluation, Miss Gan Baobao still seemed unsatisfied, mumbling the keyword repeatedly.

"Like a little lamb daring to jump over the fence?"

...

So it’s because of this?

Honestly, though Miss Gan Baobao’s visit was abrupt, Fu Qian didn’t really believe that she must be haunted by some malicious spirit.

Even if it’s the Needle Witch engaging in secret duels, if momentarily interested in some scheming would choose such a low-cost tool?

Things are fundamentally different when Transcendents and ordinary people are the objects of harm.

Wen Li, Jia Keke, even Miranda...

Even when holding a high position as a Night Watchman, the target Mr. Needle Witch previously chose also revolved around the Supernatural Community?

Circle affairs should be resolved within the circle, ordinary people shouldn’t be targets.

This almost impossible goal is currently enforced as an iron law by the Night Watchman—

Of course, all small-time schemers can’t be caught, might even rarely catch major ones, but you better not get caught by me.

Otherwise, Uncle Zhi will be very angry, consequences will be severe.

Using such iron-handed tactics is what maintains this almost mirage-like social structure.

Just like long ago when I lamented, normally for this world, this mode of operation shouldn’t exist.

Moreover, consequences are severe, while expected gains are really not high.

Let alone the relationship with Gan Baobao, even if Mr. Gan Sr. himself came, it’s apparent there’s a significant risk being turned away by me.

Let alone hoping to uncover some incredible secret with such a status.

All in all, Fu Qian is relatively convinced by Gan Baobao’s statement, coming here purely as a personal action.

As for what drives such personal actions without much interest in reading?

Simple, the earlier question provided the answer.

A father who takes risks entering the field was likened to a "little lamb" daring to jump over the fence.

Courage is there, self-breakthrough is not easy, but this remarkable act ultimately only counts in the "human" delineated rules, innocuous, even somewhat cute rebellion.

At eighteen or nineteen, it is the age of reflecting on life, Miss Gan Baobao likely has similar feelings to mine about the world’s operation—an unrealistic mirage-like structure.

"Quite similar."

Analyzing customer intentions, Fu Qian compared Mr. Gan Sr.’s and a lamb’s restroom frequency, truly nodded.

...

So is this atmosphere rather incorrect?

Though books are indeed the staircase to human progress, as a business person, constantly offering free consultations on growth troubles does violate professional ethics somewhat.

Seems unexpected that the response would be direct, Gan Baobao across found herself momentarily speechless, even her ritualistic smile stiffened.

Unfortunately, Fu Qian felt no embarrassment about her response, simply drank the earned tea unperturbed.

Everything should be reasonable, you were direct first.

Intensity of self-analysis has always been high.

"Sorry for my somewhat rude question earlier, but your straightforwardness is truly remarkable."

Reassuringly, before the tea was finished, Miss Gan Baobao managed to regain composure and promptly apologized for the earlier question.

"No wonder father told me when dealing with you, sincerity is mandatory, actually I indeed just sought an excuse to come here, just wanting to say a few words to you."

Then next, she shook her head self-deprecatingly.

"I don’t know if you’ll believe it, but I truly admire my father, even though I only know only part of his actions.

"But it’s precisely because of this, as a bystander observing more, increasingly there’s more of an emotional gloom appearing... Are those incredible things really meaningful?"

...

The world is just the Transcendent’s playground, any ordinary dignity merely comes from pity and mockery?

Honestly, simply in terms of interpersonal interactions, Gan Baobao and Miss Wen still have a gap.

Just apologized earlier, quickly immersed in self-expression again.

Fortunately, her intentions and motives really aren’t difficult to comprehend.

Nihilism, many young people need to overcome.

Miss Gan Baobao’s troubles lie in her father being truly exceptional, making the impact of "is this all meaningful" particularly significant for her.

"You can be sad, after all, ordinary people in front of Transcendents are truly exceptionally weak, whether physically or spiritually."

But considering the opponent didn’t even intend to purchase a few "human nature’s weaknesses" type books here, Fu Qian had no intention of comforting the ignorant girl, directly continued harsh realism.

Hmm...

The effect was Gan Baobao nearly grabbed the wrong place, reflexively withdrawing after being scalded by the teaware.

Even those visibly reddened fingertips inadvertently illustrated physical weakness.

However, slightly calming down afterward, she still quietly extended her hand to pour the bookstore owner another cup.

Well, Brother Gan Zuoxun indeed invested some effort in educating his children.

"But from my observation, some things remain equally significant, like the fear of death."

Fu Qian nodded slightly, continuing to share.

"...Do Transcendents with resilient lives also have such intense fears? That’s not what I’ve seen."

As expected, Gan Baobao’s eyes brightened.

"Resilient life only means not easy to die, you know that even prominent figures among ordinary people use advantages to fool others."

Fu Qian shook his head.

The previous Ember incident, consider this an compensation to Mr. Gan Sr.’s assist.
