It was almost three o'clock when this group of people drank several rounds of tea. Their target, the owner of the Renwu Guild Hall, Zhao Jingjing, arrived belatedly with his two junior brothers.
Zhao Jingjing's walking posture is a little weird, but if you don't look carefully, you can't tell.
Although she had broken that layer during her early practice, it was her first time and she felt a little uncomfortable after doing it for so long.
Therefore, along the way, Qin Chao received many looks from her.
"It's all you. If it weren't for you, why would I be late!"
Zhao Jingjing scolded.
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Please walk more slowly."
The Qin Dynasty repeatedly bowed its head and admitted its mistakes.
"Senior sister, junior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaohu pretended not to understand and kept asking, "Why are we all late because of junior brother? Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"
"Ahem, it's nothing."
Zhao Jingjing waved her hands quickly and said, "It's nothing. Before I went out today, I had a test with my senior sister and it took a little longer."
"Ah!" Xiaohu asked immediately, "Then who won."
"It doesn't matter who wins or loses. It doesn't matter who wins or loses."
Qin Chao shook his shoulders and said, "I still feel pain in my back and legs."
Zhao Jingjing glared at him.
Xiaohu almost didn't recognize it and laughed. Fortunately, he knew what would happen if he laughed, so he held it back hard.
At this time, Zhao Jingjing also led these two guys into the Mankou Xiang Teahouse.
As soon as she came in, she found that everyone looked at them with very strange expressions.
Even the tea-goers on the first floor are no exception.
"Please, three of you, please come upstairs!"
This waiter never rejects customers. When he saw the three people, he quickly said, "Uncle Hong has been waiting upstairs for a long time."
"Okay, good work."
Zhao Jingjing nodded to the waiter, and then went up to the second floor with Qin Chao and the others.
The layout of the second floor is not small, but the place is full of martial arts masters. Among them, Hong Jiu and a group of martial arts masters sat in the best seats. Everyone had a sad face, and no one was happy.
Seeing Zhao Jingjing coming up, Du Hao, the martial arts master of Eagle Claw Fist, patted the table first and spoke.
"Okay, Director Zhao, I really didn't expect that the Guiwu Gym would be so grand on the first day it opened. Our Uncle Hong invited you personally, and you can even be late. You really don't want to bring trouble to our entire street.
The martial arts association takes it seriously, right?"
"I'm sorry, something happened and it delayed me for a while. I, Zhao Jingjing, am here to apologize to you all."
Now that I have entered this field, I should give some face to my predecessors.
Zhao Jingjing was so polite, but Qin Chao didn't think it was a big deal.
But if the guy in black dares to go too far, I will knock out his front teeth.
Moreover, when the senior sister brought me here, she gave repeated orders not to fight impulsively.
Oh, it's really torture.
"Isn't it enough to just apologize?"
Du Hao's intention seems to be that he doesn't want to give up.
But at this time, Hong Jiu waved his hand and said.
"Director Zhao, please sit down."
Everyone brought a chair and placed it next to the elegant seat.
Since there was only one chair, it was natural for Zhao Jingjing to sit on it.
Qin Chao and Xiaohu were standing on the left and right of Zhao Jingjing.
"Director Zhao, I'm giving you face, but you're not very authentic."
Hong Jiu said while sipping tea slowly.
"If you didn't tell me you were late, it seems that I only invited you."
"These two are my junior brothers, and they are also involved in the affairs of the martial arts school."
Zhao Jingjing explained.
"Since he is just a junior brother, he has no right to talk to people like us."
Du Hao said arrogantly, "Everyone here is at the level of the master of the museum. What's the point of letting your two junior brothers here?"
"What do you mean!"
He obviously looked down upon himself, which made Xiaohu very angry.
He took a step forward, but was stopped by Qin Chao first.
"Don't pay attention to his words, they are useless."
I felt sorry for my senior sister first, so Qin Chao had to listen to her warning to him. Therefore, this time, he behaved very well.
"By the way, I just heard that there is a martial artist in your martial arts hall who knocked away Li Chengji from the Korean Hall with one palm? I don't know who it was?"
Lin Xinghai, the leader of the Bagua Pavilion who was sitting next to Hong Jiu, spoke at this time.
"It's my junior brother."
Zhao Jingjing pointed at Qin Chao and said, "His name is Qin Chao, and he is the youngest junior fellow apprentice in my sect."
"oh?"
Several gym owners couldn't help but look at each other. The youngest junior brother, who had just started, knocked Li Chengji away with one palm. Although Li Chengji didn't have much ability, this also shows that these Liu Jiaquan masters
Descendants are not the kind of martial arts liars who show off and deceive.
"Hey, then Li Chengji is just a loser. What's there to say about defeating him?"
Du Hao curled his lips, "Which one of these people here would Li Chengji dare to offend?"
"Director Zhao."
As soon as Hong Jiu opened his mouth, everyone around him immediately fell silent again, listening to what the old man said, "Do you know why a martial artist from the Korean Pavilion dares to bully you?"
"I don't understand, please give me some advice from Uncle Hong."
"Because this martial arts street is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are real martial arts masters and some nameless liars. Li Chengji obviously regards you as liars. And the real martial arts masters are sitting here now. Only
Only the true inheritors of Chinese martial arts are qualified to drink tea with us."
"So that's the case, then I, Zhao Jingjing, am honored."
Zhao Jingjing said and cupped her hands.
"Don't say it too early."
Uncle Hong waved his hand again and said, "I, Hong Jiu, am a very reasonable person. I invited you here today because I want to invite you to join our martial arts association."
"This is natural, thank you Uncle Hong."
"I said, if you want to thank you, don't say it too early."
Uncle Hong drank tea and said again, "I said, I am a very reasonable person. Since ancient times, this matter has always been one and the other. If you want to join our association, you must abide by the rules of our association.
"
"This is also natural."
"Young man, you are just anxious." Uncle Hong chuckled and said, "You interrupt me again and again before I finish speaking. I told you that I am a very reasonable person, but you are young and impulsive.
I'm not on the same level as you. Let me tell you the conditions first, and it won't be too late for you to agree."
"Uncle Hong, please speak."
Zhao Jingjing was still polite.
"First, as a member of the association, you must obey the orders of the president. Of course, now I, Hong Jiu Bucai, have taken the position of president. Second, after joining the association, you have to turn in some offerings every month.
.Actually, to put it bluntly, it’s just a membership fee. This amount is not high, it’s 20,000 per month, it’s just a meaning..."
Hearing this, Xiaohu couldn't help it, Qin Chao pulled him beside him.
Zhao Jingjing also had a straight face and continued to listen.
"The third and most critical point is resource sharing. We are all brothers in the association. Whoever eats meat cannot let others eat soup. Director Zhao is also a newcomer, so,
The quota I gave you is fifty people. If there are more than fifty students, you have to assign the other people to various martial arts schools."
At this time, Qin Chao finally understood what it meant to hold a JB tea party. To put it bluntly, he was jealous of the Renwu Guild Hall recruiting disciples.
Moreover, one mouth is 20,000 yuan per month. Damn it, you have to pay the protection fee!
"I said, I am a very reasonable person. If Director Zhao agrees to these conditions, we will be our own people from now on. Those people from the Korean Pavilion and the Japanese Pavilion will not dare to mess with Director Zhao anymore."
"Uncle Hong, I can still agree with the first of your conditions. Are the second and third conditions a bit too much?"
Zhao Jingjing said.
"Pass?"
Du Hao slapped the table and said, "Hey, let me tell you, Uncle Hong is already very reasonable. If I were to ask you to pay one hundred thousand a month, it would not be too much! Moreover, the rules of this street, the newly opened martial arts gym,
You can’t accept disciples for three months. Now you can accept fifty people, so go ahead and have fun!”
"Then there's nothing to talk about, right?"
Before Zhao Jingjing could speak, Qin Chao asked first.
"I'm a very reasonable person."
Uncle Hong patted the tea lid and said slowly, "It's not that we won't talk, but I've given you the conditions. If you agree, we can continue to talk."
"Talk about your uncle!"
Xiaohu couldn't help it anymore and cursed loudly, "According to what you say, our martial arts gym still has a JB!"
"Xiaohu, shut up!"
Zhao Jingjing quickly winked at Xiaohu.
At this time, the corner of Uncle Hong's mouth twitched slightly, probably because he hadn't been shouted at like this for a long time.
Everyone on the second floor stood up and stared at the three descendants of Liu Jiaquan.
"Boy, if you dare to scold Uncle Hong, I think you will die!"
Du Hao squeezed his hand and made a clicking sound. The threat was very obvious.
"He is still young and very angry. Please don't be angry, the curator."
Zhao Jingjing quickly excused Xiaohu.
"Sister, please sit down."
At this time, Qin Chao reached out his hand, gently pressed Zhao Jingjing's shoulders, and pushed her back to her seat.
"What about these people in front of you... Oh, no, we can't call them humans. These wolves in front of you clearly want to eat us. It's useless if you continue to tolerate it."
"But...but when I came out, dad told me to be more tolerant and not to lose my temper..."
Zhao Jingjing clenched her fists.
In fact, she couldn't help it anymore. When she was placed in the island country, she had a bad temper and had already been punched.
But things are different now. She has to run a martial arts gym, and she can't do it without a little bit of courage.
"This is not a matter of whether you tolerate it or not."
Qin Chao pointed to the people in front of him, "Which one of them has ever thought about putting up with you?"
"Hey, kid!"
Du Hao glanced at Qin Chao, "Do you think you are invincible after defeating Li Chengji?"
As he spoke, he looked around and said, "Let me tell you, everyone in this room is just playing with Li Chengji's tricks."
"No wonder there is a saying."
Qin Chao chuckled, "A Chinese is like a dragon. A group of Chinese are like worms. You have destroyed the integrity of the Chinese people."
