《Supreme Grandpa 》Chapter 8: Company Matter
Advertisement
"Dad, hurry up! I'll accompany you to dinner. After eating, we will go home early."
Gong Xueqing wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, watched the robber run away with his pair of pants, and glanced at her undamaged old father-in-law. She always felt that something was not really right, so she said it anxiously.
"Hehe, okay. Let's go for dinner then."
Although he still wanted to go shopping outside, when Gong Xueqing's anxious face came into his view and found that there were more and more people watching on both sides of the street, it would be inappropriate to continue shopping, Yang song could only smile and agree with her.
Gong Xueqing heaved a sigh of relief, "Dad, let's leave now."
As soon as Yang Song and Gong Xueqing left, everyone in the crowds on the street exploded with discussion.
"Have you noticed that the old man looks familiar?"
"I think that he has a very good temperament. He already very old, but he gives me this feeling that he is very handsome!"
"The woman looks familiar too, as if I have seen her somewhere before."
"Maybe from the Yang Family?"
"Yang Family?"
"Yeah… I can't possibly remember it wrong."
"I know the Yang Family too. But it is not possible, is it? Did they not say that their father has no way to practice martial arts? Everyone in the whole city knows that their father is also very old, but how can he come out and do such dangerous things?"
The crowd was in twos and threes as they kept talking to each other.
As the girl who just recorded the video with her mobile phone, after hearing these comments, her big eyes turned extremely fast.
"Maybe this video is going to be a big hit!"
This girl's name was Su Xiaotuan. She was a new loli anchor on a platform called UU.
With the development of martial arts and the increase of strange animals, more and more men who could not practice martial arts, for safety reasons, chose to stay at home all days and became nerds. And this type of people had a paranoid love for lolis.
Coupled with the cute appearance of Su Xiaotuan, who could dance, act cute, and babble endlessly, the number of fans had reached 100,000 in less than half a year in UU.
At the beginning of this period, the speed of her fans increasing was a bit slow.

The talents she had always performed were no better than others, and in the fight for fame, many lolis had a constant lower limit. She was even more unattractive if she could only act cute and dance.
"In this society now, human nature is a lot colder. This old grandpa saves people in street. He also looks very handsome and charming. After he is passed on, he may become UU's official recommendation."
Su Xiaotuan squatted on the side of the street while she muttered to herself. Her hands were not idle either, she skillfully edited the video to perfectness.
In order to obtain better results, she also specially opened the beautify filters for Yang Song.
When she watched Yang Song in the video again, her cheeks began to redden, "Oh, great… After the beautification, this grandpa's face is absolutely stunning. He's even more handsome than those big male internet celebrities with VIP accounts."
While talking, Su Xiaotuan almost licked the screed directly.
Ten minutes later, after messing around a bit.
"Finish!"
Su Xiaotuan clenched her fists while her face showed a touch of joy. After the video was edited, she also specially added a song from more than ten years ago to this short video. She also added a caption: A hundred-year-old man with gray hair and a handsome temperament looks so brave when he caught the robber and beat him up. Our old man is still our old man.
With this, she played it again. When the song was played and accompanied by Yang Song capturing the robber and stepping on him, it was great enough. But when the robber's clothes were torn, his face was desperate, and the scene of him escaping wearing only a pair of Pikachu pants came into being, the quality of the video almost shot through the sky.
After further confirming that there were no major loopholes, Su Xiaotuan decisively clicked to upload the short video.
…
In the Phoenix Lake Restaurant in Tong City, Gong Xueqing was sitting opposite Yang Song. The table was full of dishes.
"Hmm, it tastes good, braised pork is really delicious."
Yang Song took the chopsticks, put a piece of meat in his mouth, and said contentedly. After he gained strength, he found that his appetite had also become very good. Therefore, he was naturally unambiguous when he ate foods.
However, this gluttonous appetite shocked Gong Xueqing.
After her father got older, his teeth were not working very well. He usually had porridge mainly. But today, he ate several pieces of meat, but there was no negative reaction at all? And he was still eating so smoothly at that?

What was wrong with her father?
"Come on, little thing, you have some too!"
Yang Song ignored the stunned Gong Xueqing. After eating a few pieces of meat, he found the Golden-Eyed Mouse that was lying on his shoulder had its eyes wide opened and a trace of saliva could also be seen hanging from the corner of its little mouth. Yang Song smiled and clamped a piece of braised pork and put it on the table.
Whoosh!
Upon seeing this, the Golden-Eyed Mouse left Yang Song's shoulder quickly and made its way to the table. With two little paws, the little thing grabbed the piece of braised pork before it jumped back onto Yang Song's shoulder again.
"Squeak!"
It let out a squeaking noise from time to time as it ate happily. The beards on the corners of its mouth were covered with oil stains.
"Xueqing, don't be stunned, come and eat too."
Seeing the Golden-Eyed Mouse eating happily, Yang Song turned his gaze on Gong Xueqing again. His daughter-in-law ordered a table of dishes, and now, she had not moved a single chopstick.
"Dad, I'm losing weight recently. And I also ate not long ago," Gong Xueqing said, watching Yang Song eating happily and vigorously. Then she had an illusion that the person who was almost a hundred years old was herself instead.
"By the way, Xueqing, I heard that Southern International Commodity Company is preparing to make a transformation recently. What is going on?"
When he was almost half full, Yang Song slowed down and asked in a deep voice.
"Sigh…" Gong Xueqing sighed.
After her father got older, he seldom cared about everyone's affairs. But now that he had asked, she could only answer truthfully.
"Half a month ago, a daily necessities company in Martial City, an investor in martial artists, discovered a unique herb from the abyss. After artificial cultivation, it was ground into juice and put into shampoo, facial cleanser, and toothpaste. The effect is directly more than three folds. And coupled with the low price, the market will be snatched away by them all at once! Ordinary daily necessities can't be sold at all, so we can only transform."
"So that's the case," Yang Song nodded.
The last time he was in the lobby of the Yang Family courtyard, he observed Gong Xueqing with the Eyes of Insight. In terms of operation and management, her ability was actually very average, but in terms of the proportion of pharmaceutical ingredients, her talent was extremely high.
That was also the reason why Yang Song asked her to buy him raw materials at that time.
And his second son, Yang Haonan, had a good alchemy talent.
The two of husband and wife were quite suitable for each other.
One was responsible for the proportional preparation of medicinal materials, and the other was responsible for refining pills and such.
The advantages could be said to be quite obvious.
"Dad has a suggestion," Yang Song continued.
Gong Xueqing: "Dad, say it!"
"Daily necessities can't make much money, and competition is very great. Did I not ask Haonan to try alchemy yesterday? Actually, you can move closer to this… You are responsible for purchasing raw materials for refining, and let Haonan try to refine it. Now, in the abyss, there many foreign objects. What unexpected changes will manifest if certain raw materials are merged together?"
"Dad, this is a bit too much, right?" Gong Xueqing felt a little confused.
Yang Song said slowly, "What's the big deal about this? Have you not watched the news recently? Many pharmaceutical companies are researching pills and elixirs. Some of which can improve blood and energy, and having nourishing types too. In short, there are many different types. As for your side, if you can come up with a beautifying pill, I don't know how much better it is than a facial cleanser, facial mask, etc."
"But…" Gong Xueqing hesitated, "We engage in daily necessities, if we suddenly go to alchemy, it's greatly impossible! Besides, I don't know about many medicinal materials, so how do we make it? There are many things in the abyss, but if they are mismatched, they may also be highly toxic. This is quite dangerous, dad!"
"You go back and try it. Just buy some materials and practice it first. Maybe you can accidentally make it," Yang Song waved his hands.
"Fine!" Gong Xueqing said helplessly.
Although she thought her father-in-law's suggestion was unreliable, she did not know what was going on, deep down in her heart, there was an urge to try.
When she planned to buy the materials for Yang Song, she would also buy more by the way and find a chance to try it!

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
