Chapter 96: A Little More, A Little More and It Will Explode~
The content of the Video was very simple. There was a young man crying, roughly saying that his Home was very, very poor, but he had been accepted into a very famous Higher Academy, and originally he had no way to continue his Education.
At this Time, Fu La Da Li appeared and generously gave him Sponsorship, allowing him to study further.
However, one day, for some unknown reason, Fu La Da Li suddenly withdrew his Sponsorship, instantly putting him in a difficult Situation.
If he didn't continue studying, he was already close to Graduation. If he did continue studying, he couldn't afford the high Fee of the Higher Academy.
In the Video, he didn't blame Fu La Da Li; in fact, his words were full of gratitude towards Fu La Da Li, constantly recounting the help Fu La Da Li had given him over the years.
It was just that he cried too miserably, causing the people watching the Video to express sympathy for him one after another, and at the same Time, they began to curse Fu La Da Li fiercely.
They accused Fu La Da Li, saying that he should either not have given Sponsorship from the start or sponsored until the end. What was the point of suddenly withdrawing Sponsorship halfway? They also cursed Fu La Da Li for Going Back on Words, calling him extremely hypocritical, wanting both a good reputation and not wanting to spend Money.
Others also said that Fu La Da Li was already so rich, yet he was still so stingy.
In short, after the fermentation of Public Opinion, this Video was constantly forwarded, and the number of people watching and commenting also increased, no longer limited only to the Kalos Region.
On the Network, there was now a wave of curses against Fu La Da Li. Some even threatened to boycott the Products produced by Fladari Company, and a large number of people expressed their support.
After watching the Video content and the comments Below, Bai Feng frowned tightly.
This Situation was clearly wrong. If no one was leading the Pace, the Matter couldn't have fermented so quickly.
Moreover, the person crying in the Video was clearly premeditated at first glance. As an ordinary person, where did he get the guts to publicly create Public Opinion against Fu La Da Li online?
If it were him, if he were Fu La Da Li, that person would have been suppressed by him long ago.
But so far, Fu La Da Li hasn't come out to say a single word, and Fladari Company's Public Relations Department hasn't appeared either.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Feng dialed Fu La Da Li's Phone.
"Hello, it's Bai Feng!" Fu La Da Li's voice quickly came from the other end of the Phone, but his voice sounded a bit tired.
Bai Feng asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
The other end of the Phone was silent for a few seconds, and then Fu La Da Li's voice came again.
"You know about it too..."
"Yes, I just saw it, I'm a little worried about your Situation," Bai Feng said.
"Heh..." Fu La Da Li's sigh came from the other end of the Phone, and then Bai Feng heard him ask, "You say, is Human Nature really like this?"
Bai Feng was stumped by his question and could only answer awkwardly, "Human Nature is a very complex Thing. Everyone's Human Nature simultaneously contains a side of Goodness and Evil.
When a person's Goodness side overwhelms the Evil side, that person can be called a good person; when their Evil side overwhelms the Goodness side, then they are an Evil person. You and I are the same.
None of us can guarantee that we will never have an Evil Thought, nor can we assert that an Evil person has never done a single good deed.
So, discussing Human Nature here actually doesn't have much meaning. It's too complex; it can't be explained clearly in just a few words."
Hearing Bai Feng's answer, Fu La Da Li immediately fell into deep thought. There was no sound from the other end of the Phone for a long Time.
Bai Feng's little Heart kept pounding. He was afraid he had said something wrong, causing Fu La Da Li to suddenly fall into extreme psychology.
He really didn't want Fu La Da Li to go down a road of no return because he was trapped in a dead end.
Seeing that the other side remained silent, Bai Feng suddenly had a hot Head and said, "Fu La Da Li, why don't you come here and play for a few days? You've always been Busy with your Career and haven't been here before. Why not take this Opportunity to come see me?"
"Okay... okay!" The other side seemed a little surprised Bai Feng would suddenly say this, but finally agreed.
Fu La Da Li arrived in Couriway Town two days later, traveling by his Private Aircraft. Bai Feng brought Bai Ye to meet him at Bi Yi City Airport.
Out of the Airport, walking on the streets of Couriway Town, Fu La Da Li said with some emotion, "No matter how many times I come to Couriway Town, the Climate here is always so comfortable."
Bai Feng smiled and said, "If you like it, you can come often."
Fu La Da Li smiled bitterly and shook his Head.
The two walked and chatted, and Fu La Da Li told Bai Feng the truth about the online Matter.
It turned out that the reason Fu La Da Li withdrew his Sponsorship was because he Discovered that person not only didn't spend the Money Fu La Da Li sponsored him with on Education, but also frequently visited improper places.
Besides that, he also used Fu La Da Li's name to give High-Interest Loans outside, taking the Opportunity to accumulate wealth.
This online Matter wasn't planned by him alone. After his Sponsorship was withdrawn by Fu La Da Li, a rival of Fladari Company bribed him and asked him to smear Fu La Da Li and Fladari Company.
Otherwise, how would an ordinary person have the guts to publicly lead the Pace outside?
It wasn't that Fu La Da Li didn't want to come forward to clarify, but rather that he himself felt a bit tired. This kind of Thing had happened before.
He remembered one Time he went to a region to Invest and build a factory. Seeing that the place was very poor, he decided to distribute Supplies to some local families.
But when the Supplies were transported there, those people actually swarmed forward, snatched the Supplies clean, and even injured his Employees.
Another Time, a region had an outbreak of infectious disease. Fu La Da Li personally led people to send Medicine there.
But after those people got the Medicine, they actually directly detained Fu La Da Li and his Employees and threatened Fu La Da Li, demanding he call others to continue sending Medicine and Supplies, or they would kill them!
Such examples were everywhere.
These years, Fu La Da Li had been dedicated to doing Charity, trying to use his Power to make the World better, but he had always been facing the Evil side of Human Nature.
The more good deeds he did, the more he saw the Evil of Human Nature.
The outbreak of this incident finally made Fu La Da Li's accumulated Emotion reach a critical point.
He suddenly felt very tired. What was the use of doing so many good deeds? The World was still like this, full of sin everywhere!
Bai Feng had never asked Fu La Da Li about the truth of the online Matter because he believed in Fu La Da Li from the bottom of his Heart. But Fu La Da Li probably really needed someone to confide in, so he told Bai Feng everything.
Bai Feng really didn't know how to comfort Fu La Da Li. Discussing Human Nature, such a complex and profound Problem, with Fu La Da Li, he really couldn't do it. So he took Fu La Da Li to the Produce Market.
If you're in a bad mood, have a big meal. Cuisine can make people forget worries.
Bai Feng often came to the Produce Market in the East District with Dean Meili to buy Food Materials, so many people in the Produce Market knew Bai Feng.
"Oh, little Bai Feng, haven't seen you here for a long Time," the Uncle selling Aquatic Products said.
"Haha, it's been a while. My Home doesn't need me to cook, so of course I come less often!" Bai Feng spoke familiarly with the Uncle.
The Uncle knew about Bai Feng's current Situation at Home, so he said with a smile, "That's true. Today's Aquatic Products are very fresh, want some?"
Bai Feng looked, then said readily, "Give me some Crab Claws!"
Bai Feng was talking about Krabby's Crab Claws and Giant Claw Crab's Crab Claws.
The Farm has specially Cultivated Krabby and Giant Claw Crab. They regularly shed their Crab Claws. These Crab Claws taste extremely delicious and are very popular in the Aquatic Products Market.
Of course, the Price is also extremely touching. Giant Claw Crab's Crab Claws are especially much more expensive than Krabby's.
The Pokémon Seafood here at the Uncle's are all sourced from Others. He doesn't have the Cultivation qualification himself.
"Alright!" the Uncle said happily. "Which ones do you want? I'll weigh them for you."
Bai Feng chose four Giant Claw Crab Crab Claws with relatively good Appearance Quality. "Just these few."
Seeing this, the Uncle beamed with joy and gave Bai Feng a thumbs up. "You kid has Foresight, you picked out the Premium Goods!"
The Uncle quickly weighed the four Crab Claws and packed them, handing them to Bai Feng. "Total twenty-eight thousand."
Bai Feng usually rarely buys such expensive Food Materials, but today Fu La Da Li was visiting. It's a rare occasion, how could they not eat something good?
"Want anything else? Today's Slowpoke Tail is also very good, and Jellyfish (Tentacruel and Tentacool) tentacles, they just arrived."
Bai Feng thought for a moment, "Then I'll take some of everything."
"Alright!" The Uncle's mouth immediately split into a grin.
Just buying Aquatic Products, Bai Feng ended up spending fifty thousand.
The Uncle also gave Bai Feng some Land Jellyfish Hem Frills that had been shed. This wasn't fresh Aquatic Products, but Dried Goods.
Kalos Region doesn't produce Land Jellyfish. The Uncle's here are all "imported goods." But because people in Kalos Region don't have high acceptance for this, very few people buy it.
The Uncle saw Bai Feng bought a lot of Aquatic Products, so he just gave him a small Bag. It was better than it staying unsold.
Bai Feng hadn't eaten this before and also wanted to Try it, so he accepted it.
Then Bai Feng went to the place selling Seasoning.
Through the shopkeeper's promotion, he also bought Chili Powder ground from Spicy Baby Teeth, Salt Stone Treasure Salt, Oran Berry Oil...
These were all Premium Goods, very expensive, but Bai Feng gritted his teeth and bought them.
Money, well, it's all for spending. Now he should probably be considered... rich? Probably.
Fu La Da Li was expressionless, wearing a very formal suit. His entire aura was out of place with the whole Produce Market, attracting many curious glances towards him.
Of course, everyone was just curious, with no intention to offend, and they didn't casually ask Bai Feng about him.
Fu La Da Li followed behind Bai Feng the whole way without saying a word, listening to Bai Feng chat and bargain with the Uncles and Aunties in the Produce Market, finding it novel and interesting.
These were Things he had never experienced. A hint of a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Fu La Da Li grew up in a wealthy family, had everything handed to him since childhood, and received the most elite Education.
After growing up, relying on his excellent ability and keen Foresight, he developed the family business step by step, making it have a greater Influence in Kalos Region and even the World.
Fu La Da Li had always felt he was successful, in every Aspect.
But today he suddenly felt that he seemed to not understand life.
Bai Feng took Fu La Da Li around the Produce Market for a long Time. He even made Fu La Da Li buy Food Materials from the Uncles and Aunties and made him bargain.
Fu La Da Li wanted to refuse, but Bai Feng didn't give him the Opportunity and directly pushed him forward.
Fu La Da Li's CEO Aura didn't match buying Food Materials at all. So although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually panicking inside.
Of course, the Uncles and Aunties selling Food Materials were also panicking. It was the first Time they saw someone with such an oppressive aura come out to buy Food Materials. For a moment, even the sales pitches they usually blurted out became stuttering.
After a few tries, Fu La Da Li was very flustered, while Bai Feng mercilessly laughed hysterically from the side.
Finally, Fu La Da Li didn't know what he thought of, but he actually started laughing heartily with Bai Feng. At this moment, he seemed to forget his worries.
In the end, Bai Feng and Fu La Da Li returned Home covered in Bags. Bai Ye simply refused to help them with Psychic.
At noon, Bai Feng used all his Cooking Skills. With Hatterene's help, he made a table full of Dishes. He even called Zhi Mi for a Video consultation on Cooking Skills.
While Bai Feng was cooking, Bai Feng let the two little guys Chikorita and Larvitar take Fu La Da Li around.
These two little guys were also mischievous. Bai Feng asked them to take Fu La Da Li to visit Fang Xing Mountain. They only cared about playing themselves, fighting and playing along the way, and ended up forgetting about Fu La Da Li.
However, Fu La Da Li himself also got a good sense of the scenery of Fang Xing Mountain. There were thriving Fruit Forests and diligent and capable Pokémon. It was simply like a Paradise.
Fu La Da Li suddenly felt that although he was richer than Bai Feng, his life didn't seem as flavorful as Bai Feng's.
At noon, Bai Feng enthusiastically promoted the Cuisine from his "Hometown" to Fu La Da Li. Fu La Da Li had never Tried this new style of Food before and found it very novel at first.
In reality, Fu La Da Li had tasted countless Cuisine. But he tried to recall the so-called high-end Food Materials he had eaten before, and none of them could bring him a sense of "realness" like the Food in front of him.
"How does it Taste? Is it to your Taste?" Bai Feng asked.
"It's very delicious!" Fu La Da Li said.
He looked at Bai Feng's nervous expression and suddenly realized that everything Bai Feng had done today was actually to cheer him up. He couldn't help but feel a little touched.
Since his parents passed away, this was the first Time someone had cared about him so much.
Although Fu La Da Li was a successful Entrepreneur, he had almost no close relatives left, only some distant relatives. There was no familial affection between them, only some entanglement of interests.
After the incident online this Time, they even called, lecturing him in the tone of elders, saying he had no Foresight.
As for close Friends, he had none before. Now he had Bai Feng and Kalos.
But Kalos was a woman after all. There were many things he couldn't easily discuss with Kalos.
Perhaps because he had been suppressing things in his Heart for too long, that's why he agreed when Bai Feng invited him that day.
"If it's delicious, eat more. I made all of it myself!" Bai Feng happily put Dishes into Fu La Da Li's bowl with Chopsticks.
In Kalos Region, people were actually more used to using Knife and Fork for eating, but Bai Feng used Chopsticks here. Fu La Da Li was very clumsy with them, so he looked a bit awkward, completely inconsistent with his usual CEO Aura. Several Times this made Bai Feng burst into laughter.
