Chapter 348 Changing the Direction of Everything
After Meng Shangrong added the promise, Zhao Yuxi did not give an immediate reply. Gu Tingzhou's thinking ability was relatively limited, and it was impossible for him to change the meaning of the promise immediately. If he changed it wrong, it would be even more troublesome. In order to prevent this from happening, she had to think about how to modify the promise herself, which also took time.
"Today, Zhao Yuxi used the rejuvenation drug to exchange a case with Meng Shangrong. All the information related to this matter will not be known by a fourth person except Meng Shangrong, Gu Tingzhou and Zhao Yuxi." The key point is "all the information related to this matter", especially the last four words, "all the information", which contains too much content and is as solid as a rock.
Let's think about it another way. "Today, Zhao Yuxi used the anti-aging drug to exchange cases with Meng Shangrong." Can we modify this sentence a little bit? Modify the meaning of "today"? Isn't this too subjective?
Modify the number of people? Is this possible? If so, what number should be changed from "four" to? If not, how should it be changed?
It's hateful. He clearly knows that his power of promise has many loopholes, but he can't find any loopholes for a while. This is not surprising. After all, he has used the power of promise for so long that he has become very familiar with it. He knows all the loopholes. When he makes a promise, he will of course avoid these loopholes.
"Deans, have you not made up your mind yet? It's just a simple promise, there's no need to hesitate... to think about it for so long."
Zhao Yuxi was waiting for Gu Tingzhou to reply to her. At the same time, she was thinking about how to exploit the loophole. Which word or character should she choose as the point of attack to negate the meaning of the whole sentence?
Gu Tingzhou wanted to make the promise completely meaningless, and wanted Zhao Yuxi to be able to comment on today's events as she pleased and share these comments with others. It was too difficult to turn these ideas into facts, and his thinking had no results.
Seeing that the two of them were slow to speak, Meng Shangrong became more and more nervous, fearing that if he delayed, something would change and his promise would become invalid. However, there were two deans of the branch school opposite him, but he only had one. If he urged them, it would not only be ineffective, but would increase their disgust.
At this moment, Meng Shangrong deeply felt that excellent asymptotes and asymptotes were more important than various false identities. But he had not yet found the opportunity and way to realize his wish.
He even began to wonder if the wishes made by young people were easier to realize. Is there a significant difference between those who participated in the modeling competition and the innovation and entrepreneurship competition and those who did not participate? Is the identity of the spokesperson of the Star Lord still a fake?
Looking back at the first time we met, our asymptotic rates were similar. We are both representatives of the Star Lord, so the strength of our forces should not be too different. At best, the difference is just a few orders of magnitude!
At that time, I was already the dean of the second-level branch. Now, these two people have also been promoted to the deans of the second-level branches! My only position advantage no longer exists. Their asymptotic rate has decreased, the strength of the force has increased, and I am at a disadvantage! This is really unpredictable.
Gu Tingzhou took a sip of juice, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
"President Meng Shangrong, Gu Tingzhou and I are willing to make a promise. You can make the promise first. If there is anything that needs to be modified or added, put it all in the new promise."
"Today, October 2021, 10, Zhao Yuxi used 29 Rejuvenation Pills to exchange the asymptote and asymptotic rate with Meng Shangrong. All information related to this matter will not be known by a fourth person except Meng Shangrong, Gu Tingzhou, and Zhao Yuxi. After the promise is established, if someone other than the promise knows about it, it must not be us who said it."
Meng Shangrong seemed to have given up on himself and vented his dissatisfaction with more complicated promises, but his anger did not diminish after he made the promises.
The new promise is about twice as complicated as the old one, and there are more adjectives. However, with more adjectives, there are fewer points that can be attacked! In this way, it will be more difficult for Gu Tingzhou to modify the effect of the promise. Should I do something else to delay time?
Almost at the moment when Meng Shangrong finished speaking, Gu Tingzhou nodded. Gu Tingzhou repeated what Meng Shangrong said, and then Zhao Yuxi repeated it.
"Now that we have finished talking about topics that cannot be told to others, let's talk about topics that can be made public. Dean Meng Shangrong, is there anything you want to ask or want to know? If you don't want to ask, then I will ask."
"Yes. Did you two get married? Many people in the institute are discussing this matter." Meng Shangrong was already 90% sure about this matter. If the two people did not get married, then there would be no news about them on the relevant websites. As long as such news came out, it must be true. No one dared to make a fuss about such a thing, and no one would think of spreading rumors about such a thing.
"What they discussed did happen. Are you curious about our marriage?" Zhao Yuxi could see his curiosity, but it was not redundant to ask. In the eyes of others, her ability should not include synaesthesia. As long as the other party's emotions were not too obvious, she could pretend not to see it.
"I'm a little curious. You two are so young, why do you want to get married so early?"
Meng Shangrong couldn't understand: Aren't young people nowadays very playful? Besides, they are all ancients, they can easily get most of the things in the world, and they can spend almost all their time playing, so why do they enter into marriage and the grave of love so early? All the moral ethics in the world cannot restrain the spokesperson of the Star Lord, but they voluntarily stepped into the bondage, which is really incredible.
This question has a standard answer. Zhao Yuxi can completely avoid all the truth without lying, and make it impossible for the other party to refute it.
Gu Tingzhou answered first: "Because I want to be responsible for her."
Meng Shangrong disagreed: You have countless ways and countless ways to be responsible to Zhao Yuxi. Marriage is not the best way. It is just the form that most people would choose. But is it necessary for the ancients and the spokesperson of the Star Lord to choose this decadent, old and outdated form?
Judging from what Zhao Yuxi did, she is not a person who follows the rules! People who follow the rules will not issue decrees to maintain dignity, and will not amend the decree not long after issuing it. Zhao Yuxi is not good at following the rules, but she can accept Gu Tingzhou's treatment of her in the most retro way, which is very strange.
Wanting to be responsible for me is a good answer, but if I tell Meng Shangrong, he probably won't believe it. Meng Shangrong must think that I married you because I coveted your power, and the reason you married me was a bit inexplicable. Maybe in his opinion, the reasons for our marriage were all inexplicable and had ulterior motives.
Zhao Yuxi also answered Meng Shangrong's question: "For us, marriage is beneficial and not harmful. The harm of marriage is not applicable to the ancients, and the benefits of marriage can also be enjoyed by the ancients."
The three of them all thought that what Zhao Yuxi said was wrong. But if they wanted to refute him, they would only put themselves in an even more wrong position.
Meng Shangrong found a reason to convince himself: What Zhao Yuxi said is correct in most cases. Those low-probability events that she did not mention do exist, but they are not within the consideration of most people. I also want to be the majority, so I won't consider these for now.
