"Do you smoke?" Uncle Li approached.
Wu Li shook his head, Uncle Li didn’t speak either, lit a cigarette and took a few drags before he slowly began, "My na is Li Jun, I’m older than you by a few years, so I’ll just call you Little Wu."
"Little Wu, I heard from Yuan Bo that he has taken you as his master," Li Jun asked.
Wu Li nodded, "That’s right."
Li Jun sighed, "Yuan Bo, this kid, I watched him grow up. He’s very simple-minded. His dad is worried about him, so he asked to follow him around."
"This kid has been interested in martial arts since he was little, influenced by martial arts novels, he really admires Traditional Martial Arts. So after he opened the martial arts hall, he invited many Traditional Martial Arts practitioners to co and coach."
"So think that Yuan Bo is naive and easy to deceive, with no real talent yet demanding a lion’s share, so I found so modern combat experts to fight against them. Those Traditional Martial Arts masters were utterly defeated, with one of them so severely injured that he lay in the hospital for three months."
Li Jun was looking into Wu Li’s eyes as he spoke, his presence quite commanding.
Wu Li’s gaze didn’t waver, he locked eyes with Li Jun, "Combat experts, huh? How formidable are they? How do they compare to Ren Donglai? Last night’s news said he had to recuperate in the hospital for at least six months."
Li Jun stared at Wu Li without speaking, then suddenly laughed after a mont, nodding his head.
"Of course, you’re different, Little Wu. You have true skill."
He extinguished the nearly spent cigarette in his hand and sat down, his tone changing, "However, there are many skillful fighters in this world, but a company’s shares are very valuable. Although the martial arts hall’s dividends don’t involve the Bo Yuan Company’s shares, they aren’t for just anyone. Do you understand what I an, Little Wu?"
Wu Li sneered to himself, this guy probably couldn’t do anything to Liu Yuan Bo, so he ca to make threats here. If he could have had his way directly, he would have already kicked him out, why would he need to say so much?
"I don’t quite understand, Uncle Li." said Wu Li.
Hearing this, Li Jun’s expression turned completely cold, his eyes sharp, "Then I’ll be straightforward. Yuan Bo is still young and immature, likes to ss around. I hope you can be more sensible and not join him in his foolishness. The shares of the martial arts hall are not possible for you to have!"
Wu Li: "How old is Liu Yuan Bo this year?"
Li Jun was taken aback, "24 years old."
Wu Li was surprised, "Then he’s four years older than . Why don’t you go tell him to be more sensible? I’m still young."
Li Jun: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Li Jun completely lost his patience, stood up, walked up to Wu Li, and said condescendingly, "Do you think I’m joking? Kid, the adult world is far more complicated than you think. If you don’t want to end up lying in a hospital for three months, you’d better know when to stop!"
In fact, if it were soone who had struggled through the societal trenches, Li Jun might not have spoken so directly, but Wu Li was still in college, in Li Jun’s eyes, just a naive kid, so his condescending attitude was completely unmasked.
Disagree? Even if you don’t, you can only listen!
Wu Li chuckled. In terms of social status, he was nowhere near Li Jun, it seed he could only listen when threatened, but unfortunately, Wu Li was never one to back down.
He also stood up, a head taller than Li Jun.
"Uncle Li, do you know why we who practice Traditional Martial Arts place importance on self-cultivation?"
Li Jun frowned at Wu Li, not speaking.
Wu Li patted his shoulder, "Because, you see, we who practice Traditional Martial Arts tend to strike brutally, our techniques too fierce. If a Traditional Martial Arts Master has a bad temper, then those who provoke him are in serious danger."
Without waiting for Li Jun to speak, Wu Li placed his hands on his shoulders, "Let give you a demonstration."
"You..."
Li Jun had only said a word when suddenly his vision blurred, instinctively closing his eyes, feeling Wu Li’s two fingers already on his eyelids, one hand clasping the back of his neck, making his head immovable.
"This move is called ’Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl,’ of course, it has many other nas, but the effect is the sa, that is to gouge out eyes. With just a little force, your eyeballs would pop out, and if practiced well, you won’t even have ti to feel pain," Wu Li said softly into Li Jun’s ear.
Li Jun’s facial expression completely changed, and he didn’t dare to move, only managing to shout, "Wu Li, don’t ss around!"
Wu Li was unmoved, his hands continued.
Suddenly, Li Jun felt a chill below, and with a shock, he heard Wu Li slowly say.
"You must have heard of this move, it’s called ’Monkey Stealing Peach.’ It’s quite crude, but very effective; with my speed, if I used my feet, I could probably cripple two strong n in about a second."
Li Jun was already beside himself with rage. Even in the company of Liu Yuanbo’s father, where he held a high position, he was the main decision-maker in many matters, assisting Liu Yuanbo in na only. He wielded considerable influence. When had he ever been treated like this?
However angry Li Jun was, he was like a child in Wu’s hands; he could only be manipulated by Wu and was utterly incapable of resistance.
Wu locked Li Jun’s right arm with both hands, one in front and one behind, "This move, Crocodile Tail Cutting is vicious too—Joint Techniques, breaking an arm is a matter of seconds."
"And there’s this move."
Wu released Li Jun, stepped back, and then suddenly threw a punch. Li Jun didn’t even have ti to react before feeling the punch whistling towards his face, stopping right at his throat.
"This move is the throat strike from Monkey Form, truly landing it, the opponent won’t even need to be saved, it’s not advised for use unless it’s a deep grudge."
After saying this, Wu withdrew his fist and patted Li Jun’s shoulder with a chuckle, "Uncle Li, see, this is why masters of Traditional Martial Arts must cultivate their character."
Li Jun’s face turned ashen, his lips quivering in anger, "You dare threaten ?"
Wu looked surprised, "Wasn’t it you who threatened first?"
Li Jun very much wanted to say, what are you to ? Instead, Wu waved his hand.
"But, Uncle Li, don’t get wrong, I’m really easy-going."
Li Jun: "..."
In the end, Wu said, "You see, I prefer to persuade people with reason, really, you have to believe ."
Having said that, he turned and walked out of the resting area, not bothering to look back at the sound of a water cup being smashed to the ground behind him.
What a joke, you dare threaten ? Who have I ever been afraid of since I was a kid?
If Li Jun had co to discuss matters nicely with Wu, it would be fine if they couldn’t co to an agreent in the end, especially since the contract hadn’t been signed. But Li Jun had to flaunt his age and status, calling him "little Wu" repeatedly and threatening Wu to willingly give up the shares; Wu could only show him what it ant to be convinced by reason.
As for whether Li Jun would tattle to Liu Yuanbo, resulting in the contract falling through, Wu couldn’t care less. Shares were nice, but if getting them ant groveling, then forget it.
Not long after Wu left the Martial Arts Hall, he received a call from Liu Yuanbo.
"Hello?"
"Master, what did Uncle Li say to you?"
"Why don’t you ask him yourself."
"It’s just that Uncle Li seems really angry, but he refuses to say anything, so I ca to ask you."
He obviously wouldn’t want to talk about such an embarrassing situation, Wu thought to himself, but said, "Nothing much, Uncle Li is quite interested in Traditional Martial Arts, so I demonstrated a few moves to him."
"Really?" Liu Yuanbo sounded skeptical, "Then why does he seem so angry?"
"Maybe because I’m so young, so handso, and yet my martial arts are so good, he’s jealous, he can’t do anything about it, so he can only sulk by himself," Wu said offhandedly.
"Haha," Liu Yuanbo laughed, then said in frustration, "Master, Uncle Li disagrees with giving you shares in the Martial Arts Hall."
"Oh, so what do you plan to do?" Wu asked calmly.
"Of course I argued with him!" Liu Yuanbo said excitedly, "I called to tell you that no matter what Uncle Li told you, I’ve recognized you as my master, and I will keep my word. I’ll get the equity transfer and the contract ready this afternoon, and you can co sign it tomorrow."
Liu Yuanbo’s words ward Wu’s heart, "Okay, I’ll co over tomorrow and also formally teach you so basic Xingyi Fist training thods."
"Thank you, Master!" Liu Yuanbo’s voice was filled with joy.
Tsk, Wu hung up the phone. Since Li Jun hadn’t directly complained to Liu Yuanbo, it ant the other party planned to deal with him through underhanded ans.
Wu was not so naive to think that Li Jun would swallow his anger because of Liu Yuanbo.
If that’s the case, then let’s all play the ga.
