Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 855 - 854: Now This Is Called Adidas

The old man looked down at the phone. It was the number Chu Ge had just dialed. He hesitated for a moment and didn't answer but instead looked up at Chu Ge in the rice field, calling out in a distance, waving the phone that was ringing incessantly.Chu Ge quickly came to the edge of the field, smiled at the old man who had a peculiar look in his eyes, said thank you, and then took the phone and walked a few steps to the side.

"Hey, you, stop, don't walk any further."

Hearing Er Hong's voice coming from behind, Chu Ge stopped, looked sideways at Er Hong.

Er Hong had a somewhat dodgy look, stammering, "You, you can take the call right here, is that, is that okay?"

Honestly, Er Hong was quite intimidated now, so she spoke a bit more politely.

Chu Ge was originally a strong young man, and she had been completely impressed by his way of harvesting the rice, with no one around, she was really afraid of provoking Chu Ge, which would not bode well for their family of three.

However, she was still a bit worried that Chu Ge might just run off with her dad's phone, which was why she forced herself to say this.

Seeing Er Hong's expression, Chu Ge knew what she was thinking, feeling somewhat helpless inside, why would he need to over a hundred-dollar second-hand phone?

But then he thought it over and quickly became at ease, people from such poor families having such worries were quite normal, besides, if the broken phone he had to throw away carried his yearning for Situ Ying, then this phone carried the emotions between a father and son.

Thinking this, Chu Ge stopped, agreed by saying "Okay," and took the call.

The call connected, Chen Jue was on the other side cautiously saying, "Hello."

"It's me; just say what you have to say."

"Chu Ge, I'm at the bank now, how much money do you need? Do you need anything else?"

"Just withdraw tens of thousands as usual, as for other things, hmm…"

As soon as Chu Ge said this, the family of three all couldn't help but be stunned, their look at Chu Ge had a new change.

Just withdraw tens of thousands as usual? From his tone, it seemed tens of thousands wasn't a big deal to him? This young man spoke quite arrogantly, didn't he?

"If it's convenient, get me a phone and a car, the car should have a higher chassis, and don't bring your Phaeton when you come, the road here isn't good, and one more thing…"

Chu Ge originally wanted to emphasize to remind Chen Jue not to let anyone know they had been in contact, but the words swallowed back, after all, he trusted Chen Jue doing things, and having the three people beside him, it wouldn't be good for them to hear this.

Chu Ge's gaze inadvertently landed on Er Hong, lips raised slightly, paused for a moment, and continued to say.

"Buy two sets of clothes, one set for men, one for women, buy the men's based on my size, the women's size M will do, clothes from Semir, and two pairs of Adidas sports shoes, one pair for men and one for women, the men's size forty-one, the women's… hmm, thirty-seven."

"Huh?"

Chu Ge repeated it again, not thinking of anything else for now, the two agreed that Chen Jue would call again once he reached the village entrance and ended the call.

Returning to the old man's side, Chu Ge handed the phone back over.

The old man was still a bit stunned at this moment, instinctively taking the phone, not knowing what to say, Chu Ge just smiled at him, turned around, and went back to the rice field with a sickle.

Large areas of rice fell quickly, just half an hour passed, and Chu Ge finished what would take an average farmer at least a whole morning's work.

It wasn't that he was especially good at farming, nor that the sickle was particularly sharp, he was just always skilled at exerting force, many things he comprehended were universally applicable, so he found it particularly easy to start working on it.

Compared with Chu Ge, what Mu Xiaoting was doing could be described as simply unbearable to watch, even though the task wasn't really that difficult, she only reaped a small patch beside her and was already aching in her back and waist, panting heavily, sweat streaming down her forehead.

The sun rose little by little, its scorching rays poured over the earth, not to mention Mu Xiaoting who was working in the field, even the family of three standing at the edge of the field found it unbearable, the old man walked into the field, calling back Mu Xiaoting and Chu Ge, saying they needn't work anymore and to quickly go home and rest.

Mu Xiaoting had been waiting for this phrase for a long time, not knowing how she managed to persist until now, the old man's voice was like a heavenly tune to her, even Chu Ge was not stubborn about it, nodding and smiling, following the old man out of the rice field, having harvested such a large patch of rice was more than enough.

Back at the old man's home, Mu Xiaoting could barely stand, directly slumping against the wall onto a wooden stool, too exhausted to even want to move a finger.

The old man couldn't help but start asking Chu Ge all sorts of questions, amazed by Chu Ge's rice-cutting technique.

Chu Ge explained simply, saying that he often did this kind of work as a child, and at his home, everyone did it this way. In fact, he was considered slow at it.

Chu Ge spoke casually, but the old couple listened in awe, repeatedly marveling at the wonders of the world. They felt they had truly gained new knowledge today.

Time quickly reached noon, and the old lady made eggplant noodles with sauce. Just as everyone finished lunch, Chen Jue's call came in; he had arrived at the village.

Chen Jue drove a Land Rover himself, and let Bao Zhanhai drive another one. However, due to Chu Ge's instructions, even though Bao Zhanhai drove over with him, he had no idea why Chen Jue was there.

After contacting Chu Ge, Chen Jue instructed Bao Zhanhai to wait at the village entrance. Under respectful and curious gazes, he drove the Land Rover into the village, carrying the items Chu Ge needed, and stopped at the entrance of Chu Ge's small courtyard.

As soon as the Land Rover entered the village, Chu Ge heard the noise and walked out of the house. Mu Xiaoting, who had been exhausted, suddenly perked up and quickly followed in Chu Ge's steps.

As for Er Hong and her two family members, after exchanging glances, they also walked out of the house with a mix of anxious feelings.

What appeared before them was a jet-black Range Rover. Once the car parked at the entrance, it completely blocked the gate with its smooth lines, the metal body gleaming especially brightly in the sunlight, exuding a grandeur and heaviness that clashed starkly with the rundown little village.

Looking at the car, and recalling Chu Ge's tone when he made the call, Er Hong felt regret eating her up. Had she known the kid was this impressive, why would she have said those things earlier?

Maybe, if she had been more welcoming earlier, she could have received some benefits from the kid?

With a "click," the car door opened, and Chen Jue stepped out, dressed in a suit, looking scholarly and refined. Upon seeing Chu Ge, he first paused momentarily, then called out, "Boss."

Chu Ge smiled, "Let's talk in the car."

Chen Jue nodded and promptly opened the rear door for Chu Ge.

Mu Xiaoting had initially wanted to get in the car as well, but seeing that Chu Ge had no intention of letting her in, it was clear he had something to discuss privately with the man, so she waited on the side, rather impatiently.

As for Er Hong, upon hearing the word "Boss," her mind buzzed even more, and she felt even more anxious inside.

Five or six minutes passed, and when Chu Ge emerged from the car, he had already changed into the clothes Chen Jue brought, looking completely transformed from when he was in his worn-out outfit.

Chen Jue also got out of the car, standing beside Chu Ge with a somewhat complex expression.

Er Hong felt an urge to vanish from Chu Ge's sight immediately, but her legs felt weak, and she could only stand there foolishly, looking at the renewed Chu Ge, filled with deep regret.

Chu Ge glanced at Mu Xiaoting, "You can go inside and change, there's also shoes on the back seat, come out after you're done."

After Mu Xiaoting got in the car, Chu Ge smiled and handed the clothes he had changed out of to Er Hong.

"These are your brother's clothes. You'll have to wait a bit for your clothes until she's done changing. Well, if you mind that she wore them, maybe I can wash them before returning to you?"

"No need, no, no need." Er Hong's face flushed instantly, and after a few seconds, she sheepishly took the clothes from Chu Ge's hands.

For this small village, a Land Rover was indeed a rarity. In just a short moment, quite a few people had gathered around, watching from afar.

Under all these gazes, Er Hong's face alternated between red and blue. She really feared Chu Ge would say something to mock or humiliate her. However, Chu Ge merely looked at her with a half-smile, making her even more tormented inside.

The car door opened once again, and Mu Xiaoting walked out. She was now dressed in a casual Semir outfit, complementing her curvy figure, and swapped her previous pair of fake Nikes, with reversed logos, for a pair of Adidas sneakers. Compared to her usual attire, it looked less elegant and noble but exuded more youthful vigor.

Chu Ge gave Mu Xiaoting a glance but didn't say much at the entrance. Only after they returned inside did Chu Ge take the clothes and fake Nikes Mu Xiaoting had changed out of from her and hand them to Er Hong once more.

Er Hong took the clothes, and Chu Ge smiled, pointing at the shoes on his feet, "Sis, please remember this string of English letters, this is what Adidas looks like. As for your pair... honestly, I don't even know what to call them."

Er Hong's face reddened further, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. This man, whom she had once scorned, was indeed beginning to humiliate her. However... who could she blame for her harsh words earlier?

The old couple now looked extremely embarrassed too, feeling quite uncomfortable about their daughter's disgrace. The only comfort was that the young man they had just slighted didn't make things difficult at the entrance.

However, Chu Ge's next words left the whole family in shock.
