Chapter 128 One Step Ahead
When Wang Jianwu and his three companions arrived, they received essentially the same treatment as Li Yaozhong. Since they were all single, they were assigned double dorm rooms.
When the four of them first went to eat on the second floor, they were absolutely stunned. It felt like they had turned their lives around overnight! Such a leap in social class!
Wang Jianwu also asked, "Uncle, is it appropriate for me to eat at the same table as you?"
The others nodded vigorously upon hearing this. Yes, yes, whether in the army or after his demobilization, Uncle Li was always a leader.
Li Yaozhong was so angry he almost couldn't eat his meat. "This is inappropriate! You four get downstairs and eat your meal. Then tell Boss Yao that you don't deserve such high salaries and request a 50% reduction!"
Wang Jianwu chuckled and sat down next to Li Yaozhong. "Uncle, is it really all-you-can-eat? Eat as much as you want?"
Li Yaozhong scoffed at him, "Eat, eat as much as you want, don't worry about getting fat." Sigh, he couldn't bring himself to eat anymore; he'd gained weight recently! Li Yaozhong tossed the few pieces of meat he'd taken into Wang Jianwu's bowl and ate some vegetables himself.
"I don't gain weight easily, I'm just afraid of not eating enough, which would affect my exercise. Now that you mention it, Uncle, it's only been a few days since I last saw you, but you seem to have gained some weight?"
Li Yaozhong couldn't finish his vegetables, so he threw down his plate and left.
The others ate in silence, chuckling softly. Their leader really knew how to rub salt in the wound. It was unclear whether he was feigning ignorance or doing it on purpose.
Wang Jianwu looked simple-minded and shook his head, which made Uncle Li laugh.
The four of them usually stay with Wu Wenxin and Jiang Ming. When the two children go to tutoring classes, they stand guard outside, taking turns doing push-ups, practicing boxing, or sparring in pairs.
They became picky during their afternoon martial arts class.
The four of them were complaining about the martial arts instructor's poor teaching. Wang Jianwu didn't say anything, but he was clearly dissatisfied as well. The martial arts instructor got angry and challenged Wang Jianwu to a fight. After the fight, the instructor, true to his word, didn't come back the next day!
If they don't want to come, they don't have to come; they'll teach them themselves!
They also had their own considerations. Their mission was to protect Wu Wenxin and Jiang Ming. They had heard from Boss Yao that there were kidnapping cases in Hong Kong from time to time, which sounded dangerous.
In case of real danger, in case they don't have time to protect you, nothing is safer than having your own skills. Wu Wenxin and Jiang Ming's skills also reduce the difficulty of their work.
No bodyguard ever thought about training their employers to reduce the difficulty of their work; they thought that way and did it.
That day, Wu Wenxin and Jiang Ming were covered in bruises.
Wu Wenxin lay on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, crying and begging for her former martial arts teacher to come back. Before, she enjoyed practicing martial arts and exercising; now, she wasn't a special forces soldier, a thug, or an assassin anymore. She didn't want to train like this; she didn't want to be in so much pain…
Jiang Ming sat down in front of her, trying to comfort her. They were about to go to school in Hong Kong; what if they encountered bad people? What if his sister was bullied by her classmates? At this moment, for his sister, who wasn't quick-witted, couldn't win arguments, and had no other way to outsmart them, fists were the only solution. It was rare that his sister had such a talent for this.
"I'm so thin and weak, what if my classmates bully me?"
With tears still streaming down his face, Wu Wenxin roared, "Beat them!"
"What if my brother can't beat us?" Jiang Ming's eyes were also brimming with tears, which were purely physiological tears from the pain.
Wu Wenxin frowned, then clenched his two small fists upon hearing this, "I'll hit it for you!"
"My little sister is so great! My little sister is so amazing!"
Four grown men stood in a circle, watching the two little kids at their feet dreaming about how they would beat up their classmates when school started.
Then the two wiped away their tears, dusted themselves off, and stood up again.
When Yao Fanghua returned in the evening, she saw the two little ones crying while encouraging each other. Wu Wenxin even boasted that he would one day defeat Wang Jianwu and the others, while the two dogs barked loudly and softly beside them, occasionally echoing her words...
Yao Fanghua quietly withdrew and went back to her bedroom to wash up.
She and Jiang discussed their promotional activities in Hong Kong today. The mobile phone is already in production, but they still need to penetrate the market in Hong Kong.
Wu Peng pioneered this approach, and Huapeng Electric Appliances has mastered the art of advertising over the years, making Yao Fanghua deeply aware of its importance. This time, with their mobile phone line entering the Hong Kong market, she and Jiang Wei plan to produce a proper advertisement, which will be featured on television and in magazines.
Besides his jewelry business, the man with the slicked-back hair has also ventured into the entertainment industry. Through his connections, Wu Peng has also invested in several films.
Yao Fanghua was thinking of shooting an advertisement and thought of him. They had already spoken today, and the man with the slicked-back hair said he would bring the director and artist information tomorrow.
The next morning, Yao Fanghua and Jiang Wei made a point of setting aside time for themselves.
The man with the slicked-back hair arrived early with the director and two assistants.
Honestly, he envied those who ran real businesses; they had technical skills and could speak and act with confidence. Unlike his jewelry business, especially in the entertainment industry, the competition was fierce, and all sorts of disgusting, bizarre, outrageous, and despicable things could happen. He felt like he had aged considerably from fighting with his peers for the past two years.
He never expected that the electronics factory and technology company could develop so quickly and make so much money. He now regrets not having persisted in the electronics business. He wonders if it's too late now and whether he can catch up with the leaders.
However, after visiting Huazhong Technology's R&D lab, learning about the annual R&D expenditure, seeing the R&D staff coming and going, and listening to Mr. Jiang explaining some incomprehensible technical terms to him, he gave up.
But I held my breath.
He felt that Jiang Weite was arrogant and looked down on people. His eyes and tone clearly mocked him for not knowing anything! Xu Zongwei was a well-known man, a boss who was fawned over wherever he went. He had never been treated with such contempt!
So he deliberately spoke to Yao Fanghua in English, wanting to put Jiang Wei out of the loop.
Jiang Wei openly showed his contempt. This slick-haired guy might not remember him, but he remembered this slick-haired guy. He had approached the slick-haired guy before when he was seeking investment, but the slick-haired guy, with his arm around a hostess and his eyes glazed over, mocked him for daring to ask for a million. What did he say? He asked him if a mainland Chinese knew how many zeros were after a million, and said that he was the most boastful, the most daring, and the most ugly mainland swindler he had ever seen.
Haha, a liar? A loser? Today I finally have a chance to get revenge for the ridicule I received back then.
Big Back Hair was completely taken aback. He had already started speaking English, but this guy surnamed Jiang still interrupted, and in English too.
When Jiang Wei heard the slick-haired man spitting out English, he felt even more contemptuous, as if the man was incomprehensible and couldn't speak. At the same time, he was also a little excited and couldn't wait to say a few words. English was finally going to come in handy. Practice makes perfect, and he had long wanted to find someone to test his English level. At this moment, he just hoped that the slick-haired man would say more and exchange a few more words with him.
The slicked-back hair and dark-skinned man, although Jiang Wei's pronunciation wasn't as standard as Yao Fanghua's, showed that he could understand and speak. His pronunciation wasn't perfect, but that didn't prevent him from understanding. The slicked-back hair and dark-skinned man understood.
The man with the slicked-back hair simply shut up and stood next to Yao Fanghua, not even glancing at Jiang Wei on Yao Fanghua's other side.
Jiang Wei wanted to continue speaking English to the man with the slicked-back hair, but Yao Fanghua pulled him back, signaling him to stop while he was ahead.
No matter what aspect you surpass others in, you always feel good inside, and Jiang was beaming with joy. The slick-haired guy's eyes ached from looking at her.
