Although he said he was accepting disciples, Zhao Si actually felt more like a teacher. His disciples were not under his supervision except during martial arts training, unlike his master who had toiled through thick and thin to raise them. He went to work every morning with Gu Lingfeng and went home with him every evening.
More and more people came to Zhao Si to practice martial arts. Apprentices ranged from three to thirty years old. Zhao Si wouldn't let anyone older than that call him "Master," as he couldn't handle it. The apprentices were either at work or school, so they couldn't come every day. But with the addition of elderly men and women and the citizens who came to join in the fun, the training grounds and the dam outside the courtyard wall would fill up every morning. Everyone would meditate and practice together, cultivating their moral character. It felt like a national martial arts atmosphere.
But it’s not good if more and more people come. There is no restaurant on this mountain, and people always need to eat and drink. After Gu Lingfeng moved the office here, he set up a small cafeteria. It was originally only for their employees’ meals, but more and more people came to eat there.
Zhao Si felt embarrassed to take advantage of Gu Lingfeng all the time, so he just used his own money to make up for it. Most of his money was in Gu Lingfeng's hands, and the 18,000 yuan pocket money he had on WeChat was eaten up in a few days. Zhao Si almost cried when he saw the single-digit balance.
If he couldn't cut costs, he had to find ways to increase revenue. In order to protect his savings, Zhao Si found himself two part-time jobs. One was a part-time martial arts instructor, which was introduced to him by Zhang Zhen. He didn't know how to do technical work like drawing storyboards, but his martial arts moves were clean and beautiful. He could help design moves and guide actors' training.
Another job is as a part-time coach for the national team. The coaches found that several training partners who trained with Zhao Si had made great breakthroughs in their performance, so they asked him to be a part-time coach and give guidance to the team from time to time. Zhao Si taught them a set of breathing methods. As they practiced, the athletes felt that their posture seemed to be lighter. This breathing method was popularized from the track and field team.
Zhao Si kept himself extremely busy, as he had to teach people martial arts and go out to work. Gu Lingfeng felt both gloating and distressed, and then he went to order a box to be placed at the entrance of the cafeteria. It was a bit like a donation box, made of stainless steel, where money could be put in. This was how he managed to barely save Zhao Si's wallet.
However, as Wuming Charity became better and better, everyone also knew that Wuming Sect was still doing good deeds. Based on the trust in Zhao Si, people often donated money to it. Some of the amounts were not small. After all, many old men and women who came here to practice martial arts were quite rich.
Gu Lingfeng opens a box once a week. After settling the sect's expenses, the remaining money is deposited into the charity fund, spreading the kindness of kind-hearted people to where it should go.
Zhao Si has a part-time job, and Gu Lingfeng is not idle either. After sorting out the charity fund, he has a lot of free time. He doesn't like practicing martial arts, so he looks for projects to invest in when he has nothing to do. He also opened a high-end bar with Lu Chi. There is no smoky and messy things. You can chat and make friends, watch movies and play games. The main feature is a leisurely and relaxed atmosphere.
In the beginning, it was mainly their friends who came to support them. Both of them knew many artists. Because they kept it a secret very well, they gradually became popular in the entertainment circle, and then slowly penetrated into other elite circles. Now this place has become an indispensable social place in Yanjing. People can talk business or fall in love here, and Gu Lingfeng has made a lot of money.
