Lou Cheng's ears were so sharp that he could clearly hear the conversation between He Zi and Yan Xiaoling without any effort, and almost laughed out loud.
Some people are walking jokers, and some people are walking jokers...
He nodded calmly and said, "Then I will go back and read the content of the email and consider it before giving a reply."
"Sorry to trouble you, senior." He Zi smiled naturally.
After entering the room, Lou Cheng put the email aside and sent a message to Yan Zheke:
"What do you mean by your brother?"
The girl quickly replied, "clasped her fingers together and pressed her chin" and said:
"emmmm... It should be a new goal and a new motivation. When he was practicing martial arts crazily, all he wanted to do was make up for his uncle's regrets and lead the Songda Martial Arts Club to win a championship. For this matter, he was even willing to do whatever it took."
"After reaching the goal, maybe there is a lack of motivation... I guess... after all, there are very few people who do martial arts purely to become stronger. Even if there are, they need other stimulation."
She said a lot in one breath, and Lou Cheng certainly agreed: "Well, the 'Dragon King' is relatively pure, but it takes a strong and stimulating existence like the 'Martial Saint' to reach the current level."
"My brother probably found a new meaning in life in the war-torn area, hmm, that's probably the case." Yan Zheke nodded slowly.
"That's not bad." Lou Cheng recalled what he had seen and heard in the past and breathed a sigh of relief, "When your brother can hone himself with this, jump over the dragon gate and become Waigang, there won't be much danger even in war-torn areas.
Already."
"...As the 'God of Plague' and 'Disaster', you have no right to say this." Yan Zheke "sat in a daze".
In response, Lou Cheng could only "hid his face and sigh."
…………
At eleven o'clock the next day, the motorcade sent by the organizing committee arrived at the main entrance of the hotel on time. Whether intentionally or not, Lou Cheng was treated alone and took a car alone.
The luncheon was held in Songcheng's historic Chaomu Building. It was a self-service format. As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Lou Cheng saw Mr. Fang Jinyu, the president of the University Martial Arts Association, and the president of Songda, his master's friend, Dong, whose full name is unknown.
Sir, as well as the governor, mayor and others.
"Haha, your good students from Songda University are here." Mayor Songcheng City pointed at Lou Cheng and smiled at Principal Dong.
Lou Cheng and others took two steps forward and shouted, "Hello, Principal Dong."
Then, they said hello to Mr. Fang Jinyu and others respectively. No matter what, they still have to be polite.
After some polite remarks, Principal Dong looked at Lou Cheng and chuckled:
"Your master often said in front of me that he would temper you, give you setbacks, and teach you about failure, but it seems that he has never succeeded."
Let me go, Master, he still has such sinister thoughts... Lou Cheng felt something he had never expected, and he was surprised and funny at the same time.
However, he remained calm on the surface. He only smiled and maintained his master's dignity and said: "Principal Dong, you can't say that. My most important step did come from setbacks."
Principal Dong smiled and nodded, sighing:
"Jianguo has gained a good apprentice."
On Moshang Street, old man Shi was happily drinking wine and listening to a drama.
Suddenly, a word flashed in his ear:
"...The most difficult thing in life...making careless friends and accepting unworthy disciples..."
Tsk, old man Shi clicked his lower lip and nodded secretly:
That makes sense!
On the topic of Master, Lou Cheng, Principal Dong and other middle-aged and elderly people started chatting. Unknowingly, they formed a circle and took drinks, cakes, snacks, etc. from the passing waiters from time to time.
"I'm going to get something to eat first." After a while, Lou Cheng heard his stomach growling softly and backed away with a smile.
At this time, he discovered that some of Cai Zongming and others were eating, some were talking to executives of the local martial arts association, coaches and teachers from other universities, and others they had met before, and some were talking to other guests and player representatives.
Nonsense, everyone has their own circles.
Only Lin Que, holding the dinner plate, stood at the edge of the balcony and closed the door leading there, cutting off a piece of coolness and tranquility from the hustle and bustle.
"Sure enough, he is a man who is not changed by the environment..." Lou Cheng laughed, picked up the food casually, and planned to pile up a plate before going to the balcony to chat with his uncle about the war-torn areas.
Just as he was about to continue adding, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Reporter Shu Rui was wearing an evening dress, revealing her fair shoulders.
"What a coincidence." Lou Cheng greeted casually.
Shu Rui smiled and said: "It's not a coincidence. I made a special trip from Huahai and asked Xiaoling to forward the email to you in advance."
"You're not in Songcheng anymore?" Lou Cheng said slightly surprised.
That's right what she meant.
Shu Rui wrinkled her nose and said, "Yes, I passed it on impulse. After all, Huahai TV is the biggest TV station in the country!"
The simple conversation was not enough to explain the depth of the relationship, so Lou Cheng did not ask any more questions and instead said, "I have read your program planning plan. It is quite interesting, but are you sure you want to find me?"
The program Shu Rui wants to create is called "Into the Waigang", which is no longer limited to competitions, battles, interviews and chats, but will present the daily lives of Waigang people, allowing the audience to take a peek at how the strong live their lives every day.
For most people, this is a very interesting and curious point. Just like in ancient times, farmers would also imagine that the emperor used a golden pole, and people who eat melons can also use this to enrich their dreams of Waigang.
"Why do you say that? I think you are very good. You had the air of a general when you were interviewed!" Shu Rui frowned slightly, expressing confusion.
"Well, I mean, my daily life is quite boring." Lou Cheng answered half honestly and half self-deprecatingly.
"No, believe me, people nowadays are too empty to watch others eat and sleep, let alone the daily life of a strong Waigang man. No matter how boring it is, there are still people watching." Shu Rui waved her hand, full of confidence.
Immediately afterwards, she showed a sincere look and said: "I plan to find ten Wai Gang in the first season. There are some connections in the station, but I am afraid that other strong people will think that I am unreliable and are unwilling to accept it. If you set an example,
When they see it, Lou Cheng has also recorded it, and they won’t be too resistant."
Lou Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I've reminded you anyway. You can contact the Longhu Foreign Affairs Team later and ask them to find my assistant."
"Okay!" Shu Rui nodded excitedly, and then said with a sweet smile, "Well, 'find my assistant', you are like a big shot!"
Lou Cheng laughed out loud, pointed to the balcony and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll go over there first."
Shu Rui followed his finger and responded with a smile: "Okay."
When Lou Cheng turned around, she stood on tiptoes again, looked at the balcony, and muttered to herself: "Is that 'King of Cold Shows' here too?"
…………
At seven o'clock in the evening, the opening ceremony of the finals of the new University Martial Arts Tournament.
After Mr. Fang Jinyu, President of the Federation, President Dong of Songda University and others finished speaking, the host took a breath and said in a high pitched voice:
"Let's invite a group of heavyweight guests."
"Please..."
Before she finished speaking, she was drowned out by the roar of the audience:
"Loucheng!"
Immediately afterwards, there was another shout:
"Lin Que!"
Just like when the players were introduced on the home broadcast, the audience shouted one by one, and finally said in unison:
"Song Da Song Da!"
"Champion Champion!"
When Lou Cheng and others who were backstage heard this, it felt like they were in another world, and they seemed to have returned to the hot-blooded years in the past, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"You haven't forgotten us yet..." Xiao Ming said, pretending to be normal.
"Are you happy? Are you touched?" Lou Cheng asked in a funny tone.
Cai Zongming was silent for a few seconds, no longer as "leisurely" as before, he took a breath and said:
"move."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Hua, He Zi and others couldn't help but blush, and shouted in a low voice:
"Song Da Song Da!"
"Champion Champion!"
…
Lou Cheng calmed down his emotions, glanced at his uncle, and found that he had already looked to the side.
Taking steps forward, they filed forward and came to the stage, attracting even more enthusiastic cheers.
After calming down, the host smiled brightly and said: "They can be said to be the most legendary team in the history of the University Martial Arts Club. They went from being at the bottom with no hope to being famous all over the world and winning the trophy, and it only took two years!"
"Now, the legend continues among them. There is already a powerful Waigang man, and there may be more in the future!"
"They are the pride of Songcheng, they are the pride of Songcheng University, they were the champions three years ago, all members of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club!"
In the aftermath of the shouts of "champion champion", the host walked next to Lou Cheng and said with a smile:
"I'll interview them one by one."
"Lou Cheng, you are one of the most successful people in the university martial arts circle. You are the idol and role model of many people. What do you want to say to your juniors and juniors?"
Lou Cheng took the phone, recalled for a few seconds and said:
“On this road, in addition to relying on self-struggle, opportunities are equally important.”
"I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, I just want to introduce the situation of the martial arts circle in a very serious way."
"If you want to take the path of martial arts, if you don't have good guidance, consistent training, and reasonably good skills, then maybe only one or two out of ten can hope to get the ninth level. Even if you have the previous ones, there are still
A large number of those who have been eliminated can only use part-time skills as a stepping stone to find employment. Food and clothing may not be a problem, but they are not much different from others."
"When I reach the ninth level, I can experience the transcendent feeling of being a practicing master, and I can show my masculinity in front of girls. My income is almost middle-class, but the room for improvement is really limited, unless I am promoted to the Dan realm."
"From the ninth level to the alchemy level, even if the inheritance is good, there are only one or two out of ten, or even less. Going up further, being non-human is another hurdle, and there are even fewer people who can jump over the dragon gate."
"This is a general situation. If you really want to take this path, you should understand that you are most likely to be a second-, third-, or fourth-grade amateur. If you do not have the cultural knowledge to meet the standard, you can only develop in a small city.
It will definitely not be what you expected.”
"Okay, after rambling a lot, I will say one last thing. I made a decision based on passion without thinking about anything. It is not called courage but recklessness. I have carefully considered the difficulties and how to deal with myself in the future, and I still did it without hesitation.
