Chapter 115: The top student’s little Desktop Pet 9 (part 1 of 2)
As a hidden bro-con, in the scale in Kong Baiji’s heart, the younger brother’s weight was absolutely placed on the heaviest end. It’s a pity that he has quite a serious appearance, as well as a workaholic, in addition to being 9 years older than Shen Tong. Such a huge age gap, inevitably made Shen Tong have an inexplicable fear towards this older brother of his, that he wouldn’t look for him even if he comes across any sort of trouble outside.
But not knowing that each and every move he made was completely under the other party’s hand.
At the time when the 11 year old Kong Baiji had first stepped into the Shen’s house, Shen Tong was just a huge little sweet pea, spoiled by the elders in the family, that he still didn’t have a clear diction even at the age of 2. Fortunately, the face of the space cadet, little young master Shen had an above average attractive index. So, not only did he look especially cute at a very young age, but his appearance was simply like a charming little elf. –This can be noticed in the second world when Nicholas instantly turned into a pervert as soon as the little fox had just broken from his egg. Coupled with his lack of shyness towards strangers. Upon seeing Kong Baiji for the first time, the little sweet pea, under mother Shen’s instructions, wobbly ran towards him. Calling out a sweet and soft ‘big bwother
’ to him and giving him a very big kiss. This smooch instantly drove away all of Kong Baiji’s uneasiness as a newcomer.The little sweet pea, who was very happy in having an extra older brother, would always stick to his older brother in everything he does, which had unknowingly enabled Kong Baiji to completely get out of the shadow of his mother’s death in just a year. This continued right until the schoolwork of the middle school Kong Baiji increased. The little sweet pea, who had also stepped into primary school, became acquainted with a lot of children, it was only then did he stop his behavior of sticking to his older brother. But this stop, made the relationship of the two people start to unconsciously drift apart from then on.
Of course, this drifting apart was just the one-sided belief of Shen Tong. In Kong Baiji’s eyes, his younger brother was always fixed in an important position. He could be regarded as someone who had watched the growth of the other. Not only did this bro-con not fail to do a complete investigation on all the things Shen Tong was interested in and the friends he got acquainted to, but even the delinquent schoolmate who tried to get close to him, was also pulled apart through some means.
“I’m already up,” Although Shen Tong doesn’t remember the matter of a guest coming over to visit, but he still swiftly responded to the head steward: “I’ll be down soon!”
Even if everything before him was just a fabrication of the system, Shen Tong would still feel an inevitable sense of great excitement in being able to return home. Saying so, he hurriedly dressed up and got out of bed. But the moment his foot came in contact with the floor, did he just come to realize that he still had the demon energy in his body, that he couldn’t help but frown.
With luck, his cultivation base when he became a Desktop Pet had already stepped into the ranks of the Demon Emperor period. His footsteps were as light as a swallow, a slap of his hand can break the edge of the bed with a bit of effort. Shen Tong hurriedly reined all his spiritual energy back into his dantian. He recovered his composure for a few seconds before quickly walking out the door. After seeing the familiar face of the head steward, he couldn’t help but rush into his arms: “Uncle Zheng…….”
The head steward that had long been used to this kind of intimate behavior of their family’s little young master, didn’t notice any anomalies at all, but only chuckled gently and said: “Little young master, quickly head to the dining room for breakfast, ok? I left you your favorite mushroom and shredded chicken congee, and pudding.”
The time which was almost half past 10, was not suitable for breakfast at all. But Shen Tong who just started his winter vacation, had spontaneously activated his ability to sleep in. The head steward also felt reluctant to wake him up, which was why it had been delayed until now. Shen Tong ate a mouthful of pudding, “Have dad, mom and big brother already gone to the company?”
The steward nodded and said in reply, “Madame had just called from the company and told the kitchen staff what dishes to do for lunch, then specially queried whether you have gotten up, I said that you had already taken the initiative to head downstairs.”
Shen Tong immediately gave him a like after hearing this, “I love you the most uncle Zheng!”
Other families had a strict father and gentle mother, but Shen Tong’s family was the opposite. Father Shen was mild tempered, and looks more like a Confucian scholar than a business man. Not only was he understanding, he was also quite lenient to his children. But mother Shen had a strong disposition, not only does she have a strong and discerning skills in business, but she was even very visionary. She was also very strict with the disciple of her children.
Having said this, Shen Tong’s longing for his parents grew even more, that he couldn’t help but wish he could run to the side of his parents right now. The kitchen’s side was already full of bustle. Shen Tong breathed in the tempting aroma which slowly spread out in the air with his little nose, then casually queried: “Is the guest coming over a close relative, friend, or a business partner?”
“Neither,” Facing Shen Tong, the knowledgeable head steward revealed everything, “The guest is said to be a very famous scientist. During the time the eldest young master was studying in the US, he seems to have gotten acquainted with an alumnus he knew of. It was only through this relationship that he was able to invite him for a meal at home.”
In Shen Tong’s intuitive impression, all scientists were great grandfathers with gray hairs, with none smiling expressions in general, and would only show enthusiasm towards their scientific research. He couldn’t help but feel curious, on why a businessman who obviously has no connection with scientific researches, would solemnly invite such a person to his home. He can only guess that there was some relatively important business projects that requires the other party’s scientific research skill.
Shen Tong’s guess was only half right. Because it was not just ‘relatively important’, but more of ‘very important’. Science and technology were said to be a productive force, and the black technology was already enough to change the world. The guest who is coming over today is one of the leading figures in the field of the super virtual reality black technology. The holographic game technology developed by him and his scientific research team was famous all throughout the world.
How much prospects the holographic games can hold were self-evident. Quite a lot of companies were scrambling to have a cooperation with him, some large groups had even offered half of their company’s shares as investments for his skill. If the Shen’s enterprise can succeed in having a cooperation with the other, even if they only participated in a single stage of the research and development’s promotional process, this would be completely enough to bring the development of the entire company to another higher level.
Shen Tong was naturally unaware of these, but really couldn’t resist from being tempted by the mouthwatering aroma, so he ran over to pilfer a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. For fear of affecting the presentation, he very consciously dug out the smallest piece, then licked the little bit of sauce left on his hands like a small animal.
