Chapter 144 Banquet Invitation

When the Purple Cloud Star’s Purple Sun rose above their heads, Chu Nan and Chu Xiaoxi jumped off the floating bus and appeared in a field 830 kilometers southwest of Sigma City.

“Huff… I’m finally home!”

Looking at the endless green and yellow rice fields in the distance, a relaxed smile finally appeared on Chu Xiaoxi’s face.

She stretched her back and stretched out her hand to grab Chu Nan.

“Brother, give me your luggage. It’ll take at least half an hour to reach home from here. I’m afraid your body can’t hold on, right?”

“You speak as if you can endure it.” Chu Nan rolled his eyes, “Don’t worry, no matter how injured I am, my strength is much greater than yours. Moreover, most of my injuries have healed, so there’s no problem.”

“Really?” Chu Xiaoxi looked at Chu Nan in doubt and pouted, “Actually, it’s all your fault for not letting Dad fetch us, causing us to have to walk back.”

“This is part of my recovery. What do you know…”

Chu Nan shook his head and raised his luggage in each hand before walking towards the middle of the field.

As he walked, he exerted strength with both hands and raised and put down his luggage. He actually walked while exercising.

It was not that Chu Nan was trying to be brave, but he wanted to take advantage of this time to cooperate with his muscles and Internal Breath to recover as soon as possible.

In the morning, although he and Chu Xiaoxi went to find a place to take a good shower and clean themselves up, and they even bought a new set of clothes to change into, Chu Nan’s expression was really ugly. If he returned like this, it would definitely arouse his parents’ suspicion.

Therefore, if he could recover a little, even if his face would still be slightly pale, it could be explained that his previous injuries had not completely recovered.

It should be said that Chu Nan already had the standard of an expert in the aspect of damaged and repaired meridians. Under the circumstances that he cooperated with his muscle movement, he had only walked home for half an hour before his damaged meridians clearly improved.

When he returned home, Chu Nan’s face even had a trace of redness. Coupled with the sweat on his forehead, he looked completely healthy.

“Dad, Mom, we’re back!” Chu Nan shouted into the room.

Chu Zhongping, who was raising his arm and seemed to be planning to open his personal terminal, immediately looked up in surprise when he heard the voice. When he saw Chu Nan and Chu Xiaoxi beside him, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smiled.

“You’re back, you’re back! Mother, quickly bring out the food! You must be hungry, right?”

A series of clangs sounded in the kitchen behind him as Chu Nan’s mother, Yu Fang, rushed out.

Although he also had a pleasantly surprised expression when he saw Chu Nan, he cursed bluntly, “Don’t you know to hurry home after coming back? All you know is to fool around outside! It’s fine if you play by yourself, but you even brought Xiaoxi along. She’s still young, aren’t you afraid of spoiling her? Tell me, where did you go crazy after doing this? Xiaoxi, why have you changed your clothes? Right, I made your favorite lamb soup. Can you drink it now?”

Hearing his mother’s nagging, Chu Nan could not help but smile happily.

No matter what he experienced outside, the familiar atmosphere at home always filled his heart with warmth.

He turned to look at Chu Xiaoxi and smiled at Yu Fang, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m almost done now. I don’t have any reservations. I’m just waiting to eat the meal you made yourself.”

Yu Fang immediately nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand.

“Alright, let’s eat!”

“Let’s eat.”

Chu Zhongping smiled and snatched the luggage from Chu Nan’s hand. He rushed him and Chu Xiaoxi to the dining table and prepared them before going to the kitchen to help prepare.

Soon, a table of steaming and fragrant food was piled on the table.

Chu Nan took a deep breath and gave Yu Fang a thumbs up.

“Mom, no matter how much I eat outside, it’s not as good as the food you make.”

“Tsk, why has this child learned to be so glib-tongued now?” Yu Fang waved her hand. Her words sounded disdainful, but her face was blooming with joy, “Alright, I’m bored. Come try this. I spent a day preparing yesterday. I wonder if it’s suitable…”

Ring! Ring! Ring!

A crisp and pleasant music suddenly sounded. The family sitting around the dining table was immediately stunned.

“Who else is coming?”

Chu Zhongping frowned and opened his personal terminal to operate it. The enlarged virtual screen displayed the situation outside Chu Nan’s house.

A slightly chubby middle-aged man stood outside the door with two young men who looked like his subordinates beside him.

Chu Zhongping glanced at it and was immediately shocked.

“Why is it President Zhang?”

Yu Fang was also surprised. “Why is President Zhang here now?”

The middle-aged man smiled, “Old Chu, Yu Fang, you’re about to eat? May I ask if Chu Nan is back?”

Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang turned to look at Chu Nan in shock. President Zhang was actually here to find him?

A moment later, President Zhang and the other two were invited into the house and sat opposite Chu Nan’s family in the living room.

“Haha, Old Chu, I’m really sorry to have come to visit while you were having lunch.” The chubby President Zhang had a smile on his face the entire time and looked a little amiable.

“No, no. President Zhang, you can come anytime you want.” Chu Zhongping hurriedly waved his hand, “Right, President Zhang, you probably haven’t had lunch since you came, right? Why don’t you sit down and eat together?”

“There’s no need. I came this time for one thing. I’ll leave after saying this.” President Zhang waved his hand and turned to look at Chu Nan. He sized him up and nodded, “Yes, he’s indeed talented. Although he’s not old, his aura is extraordinary. As expected of the young hero of our Earth Federation.”

When this evaluation was spoken, it stunned Chu Nan’s family.

Chu Nan was puzzled.

When Chu Zhongping went to open the door just now, Yu Fang had explained this President Zhang’s identity to him.

He was the person in charge of the McDao Group in the K3 region of the Romon Continent, the largest agricultural by-product company on the Purple Cloud Planet. The farm that Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang contracted belonged to him.

In the past few years, most of the output of Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang’s farm would be sold to the McDao Group. He had seen this President Zhang a few times.

However, on one side was an ordinary farmer, and on the other was the person-in-charge of the regional area of a large company. Their statuses were extremely different, so Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang knew this President Zhang, but he should not remember these two small farmers.

He actually came personally today and praised Chu Nan as soon as he spoke. It was really strange.

“President Zhang, you’re too kind,” Chu Nan replied indifferently.

Due to his outstanding performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, Chu Nan had received many media interviews and could be considered to have seen many important figures. Even the chairman of the federation’s council on West Cloud Planet had spoken to him cordially. Therefore, a “important figure” like President Zhang in the eyes of Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang was nothing in Chu Nan’s opinion. He appeared very calm.

On the other hand, because of Chu Nan’s indifferent expression, President Zhang praised him again. Then, he stretched out his hand and took out an ancient invitation.

“Little Brother Chu Nan, I’m not here for anything else. I just want to sincerely invite you to participate in a banquet held by our company in three days. Please accept this invitation and come in three days.”

This time, Chu Zhongping, Yu Fang, and Chu Xiaoxi, who was eavesdropping behind, were even more stunned.

The McDao Group would actually invite Chu Nan to the banquet? Moreover, it was President Zhang who personally sent the invitation?

This was too grand!
