"Comrade Ke, my name is Li Qingtao. I know a little martial arts. Shall we have a spar?"
He stood with one hand behind his back, his body ramrod straight, already displaying the posture of a master.
Mr. Ke took a deep breath, his entire body tensing with alertness, making a sharp entrance. "Please..."
Ke's mother nervously gnawed on her knuckles again.
“Mother, relax,” Ke Meiyu whispered in her ear with a light laugh, “I have already unlocked my father’s potential. He started late, but he has made rapid progress. No one can easily defeat him.”
"However, Mother, you must keep a close eye on him from time to time, so that he doesn't get carried away and forget his daily training, and so that he doesn't underestimate his opponents and cause something irreparable."
Mrs. Ke nodded vigorously, "Absolutely! School security concerns the safety of all teachers and students; there can be no carelessness whatsoever!"
Suddenly, the two of them took a step together and rushed towards each other at top speed.
Mr. Ke clearly felt the difference between Li Qingtao and Wang Weida. He felt no pressure or even nervousness when fighting the latter.
However, when he sparred with Li Qingtao, he felt an exhilarating sense of satisfaction. The two probed each other's moves, defending and attacking simultaneously.
However, even someone personally trained by Qin Yuanjiu, after only two or three months, is still far superior to a provincial Sanda champion.
As a result, Mr. Ke won the game, and the audience in the courtyard applauded and cheered.
This was the first time they had ever seen masters sparring up close, not just the flashy moves on TV, but real attacks aimed at vital points!
Unexpectedly, the live performance was even more exciting, with several teenagers wanting to kneel down and become Ke's apprentices on the spot.
Mr. Ke, both amused and exasperated, quickly stopped them, saying, "If you want to learn, as long as you finish your homework, you can come here to practice your martial arts. I'm not saying it will make you incredibly strong, but at least it will improve your health and prevent you from being bullied."
The children responded happily.
Li Qingtao's face turned ashen. He was different from Wang Weida. This was his area of expertise and pride. Moreover, he was the vice president of the provincial martial arts association and had once won the provincial Sanda championship. It was too shameful to lose to a farmer!
He could clearly feel that all eyes were on Ke's father.
When others smiled at him, Li Qingtao felt it was a form of mockery.
At this moment, the principals and vice-principals standing outside the crowd clapped a few times with smiles, and only stepped forward after the crowd made way for them.
Principal Ji looked sincerely at Mr. Ke and said, “Hello, Mr. Ke. I am Ji Moning, the principal of our provincial university of science and technology. May I invite you to participate in our school’s security recruitment?”
Mr. Ke was overjoyed. He never expected that at his age, he could win a job based on his own abilities.
For a farmer who had spent most of his life toiling in the fields, this was nothing short of a meteoric rise! No words could adequately describe his feelings at that moment.
He didn't show it on his face, but glanced at his family with slight hesitation.
The old lady, Ke's mother, and Ke Meiyu kept nodding, silently shouting "Yes!" If they didn't answer now, when would they?
He then smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your appreciation, Principal. I am willing to participate in the campus security recruitment and contribute my efforts to the safety of the faculty and students of the university!"
“Okay,” Principal Ji nodded, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and, by the light of the courtyard, quickly wrote a letter of introduction: “Go to the personnel department in the office building on Monday to register, and someone will talk to you about the recruitment in detail.”
Everyone has witnessed how capable Mr. Ke is, and they have no objection to that.
As everyone dispersed, still wanting more, a little boy took advantage of the moment when no one was looking and approached Mrs. Ke, whispering, "Hello, Aunt Ke, my dad said you should also register at the personnel department next Monday. There will be a cooking competition then, and the top three will be hired. After a three-month probation period, you'll be a head chef!"
"If the top student can cook Western food, they can go straight to work on the second floor of the third canteen. Don't forget, I have high hopes for you, and I'm looking forward to eating your delicious cooking!"
After saying that, the little guy dashed off to chase after his friends.
The Ke family was excited and thrilled. They never expected that while they were sending their children to school, they could also secure two worker positions. Although these were just job openings, their abilities were undeniable, and with the added blessing of Ke Meiyu, it was only a matter of time before they were accepted!
After whispering and discussing it with his wife, Mr. Ke formally said to the old man and woman, "Dad, Mom, if my wife and I go back to work, would you please stay and live with us?"
"Please don't rush to find excuses to refuse; we also have our reasons."
“I’m a school security guard, so I’m probably on campus for long periods of time, maybe even working night shifts, right? These rascals haven’t gotten married yet, and they have no self-control at all. I’m afraid my wife can’t keep them in check by herself, so you two need to keep an eye on them.”
“My wife is at school all day and can’t take care of things at home. When it rains outside, there’s no one to help bring in the laundry.”
"Besides, those rascals are all around the same age, and they'll be getting engaged and married in the next couple of years. It wouldn't be right to trouble you two to travel back and forth like this."
"Besides, your son and daughter-in-law are finally able to take care of you. While you're still able to walk around and broaden your horizons, why don't you stay and travel around?"
Ke Meiyu also stepped forward coquettishly and tugged at the old lady's arm, "Grandma, please stay. My mother's cooking is delicious, but I'm used to your cooking, and I crave it if I don't eat it for two days..."
"We've never been apart for this long before, don't you miss the baby?"
The old lady was both amused and exasperated. "I didn't say I wouldn't stay."
