The Gushan Martial Arts School was located near the new business district of Xiushan. It had a quiet and elegant environment, and it had an old three-story building.
Lou Cheng tidied up his appearance, walked through the trees, and opened the door. He found Qin Rui waiting for him at the front desk.
"You're early." He greeted him happily.
Lou Cheng patted his arm and joked, "I'm not familiar with Xiushan. I can't even estimate the time of the bus ride."
"Haha, Xiushan changes every half a year. Everywhere is being renovated." Qin Rui replied and led Lou Cheng inside.
After entering, Lou Cheng found that the Gushan Martial Arts School was really big. The training ground on the first floor was several times bigger than the Hongluo Martial Arts School he had been to before. It was cleverly designed and divided into seven or eight areas. Some areas were noisy and crowded, while others only had 11 or 12 people practicing martial arts seriously.
Noticing Lou Cheng's gaze, Qin Rui introduced with a smile, "Isn't it big? My master always says that this place is his proudest and most regrettable place. "
"Proudest and most regrettable place?" Lou Cheng asked.
Qin Rui pointed at the training ground and said, "This used to be the Workers' Club of the Three Machine Factory. It was sold during hard times and was bought by my master who was looking for a place to open a martial arts school. That was many years ago, and there was no concept of housing prices. But my master spent most of his savings to buy the equipment and equipment. He really borrowed a lot of money. But now, look at the surrounding housing prices. They have increased by more than 10 times. It's the most valuable and best asset of our martial arts school."
"So that's what he's proud of?" Lou Cheng couldn't help laughing. He didn't think about it at all.
Who would have thought that the proudest thing of a martial arts school was "real estate investment"?
He asked curiously, "Then why is it the most regrettable place?"
Qin Rui couldn't help but laugh. "At that time, my master was still young and full of ambition. He wondered if he should leave Xiushan and open a martial arts club in Gao Fen. Later, when he had the opportunity to buy such a big house, he gave it up. A Professional Ninth Pin martial arts club could only make a splash in Gao Fen. He would be suppressed by others even if he raised his head. It was better for him to stay in Xiushan and be a local tyrant."
"Now, thinking about the housing prices in Gao Fen, my master talks about it every day and every month. Not to mention buying a house in Gao Fen, a decent martial arts school is enough. Even the demolition alone is enough to make him not to worry for the rest of his life......
. Why is it always about the appreciation of the house? Is this something that a martial arts school should pay attention to? Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh...................... uh.....
After turning a corner and walking a few steps, Qin Rui led him up the stairs and all the way to the third floor. The lighting here was rather dim, with long corridors and doors.
Qin Rui didn't explain much. He looked a little nervous and solemn. He strode to the innermost part of the room and knocked on the door gently and rhythmically.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock! After two knocks, a slightly hoarse voice came from the inside.
"Come in."
Qin Rui unlocked the door and pushed it in, allowing Lou Cheng to see the scene inside. The window was big and the sun was shining brightly. The table and chairs were carved from mahogany. Steam was rising from the tea set.
Chu Weicai, with his deep wrinkles and sharp eyes, had already stood up and welcomed Lou Cheng with a chuckle.
"Seeing you in person is better than hearing about you. Young friend, you are full of spirit and vigor. You really brighten my eyes! Qin Rui and Lin Feng have been praising you in front of this old man. I didn't believe them at first, but they showed me the videos of your recent matches. Wow, a young hero! Xiushan has never had a Mighty One in the physical invulnerability stage in its history. Maybe you can make up for it! "
He spoke like an old-fashioned Jianghu man.
Lou Cheng had originally thought that he could handle such situations calmly. However, after being praised by such an experienced Jianghu veteran, he suddenly felt a little helpless and did not know how to respond. He could only say modestly, "You're too kind."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chu Wei let Lou Cheng sit in the guest's seat. He poured himself a cup of Kung Fu tea and said with a smile, "Qin Rui has already conveyed your intentions. This old man can understand your master's mentality very well. If these unworthy disciples of mine go out, I will definitely warn them again and again to not let them use the signboard recklessly before they achieve anything."
Qin Rui and Dai Linfeng didn't sit down. Instead, they stood on either side of Chu Weicai. It was obvious that the master-disciple relationship in Gushan Martial Arts School was more old-fashioned and solemn, unlike Lou Cheng, who often joked with Geezer Shi and sometimes even made fun of him. Of course, the main reason for this was that Geezer Shi himself was not serious.
Without waiting for Lou Cheng to answer, Chu Weicai picked up the Yixing clay teapot and poured him a cup of fragrant tea. "Try it. This is the Mongolian Wild Mountain Tea that I asked someone to bring back. It's not worse than Ningshui's Maojian Green Tea."
The water was light yellow and moist. Lou Cheng took a sip and felt a strong bitterness. Following that, the taste buds on his tongue seemed to have come alive, throbbing with layers of sweetness. The aftertaste was endless.
"Good tea!" He didn't know anything about tea, so he could only give a superficial compliment.
Chu Weicai smiled reservedly and said, "There are now three VIP classes. I'm old, so I usually just look around and give a few pointers. Most of the time, Linfeng is in charge. There are two classes that come every holiday, and Linfeng is more familiar with them. I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt to a sudden change of coach. I can only give the remaining class to you first, and then we'll recruit another one … This class is every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m. Are you okay with it?"
"No." Lou Cheng thought for a while and added, "What if I have something to do at the last minute?"
"Find someone to fill in for you or change classes." Chu Weicai waved his hand and asked Dai Linfeng to take four sheets of white paper from the desk. "I know it's your first time as a part-time coach. I was worried that you would be worried, so I specially asked Linfeng to make a contract. Words are not proof, so it's just black and white. Look, the contract is very simple. They didn't ask a lawyer to make it. They made it so fancy that even an old man like me can't understand it."
The four sheets of white paper meant that there were two copies of each one, but there were only two copies of the real contract. There were about seven or eight clauses, mainly stipulating a few things. First, the payment method. Before starting the part-time job, Lou Cheng would be paid 10,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan at the end of July, and the rest would be paid on the day of the summer break. Second, there would be no commission for individual coaching fees. Third, Lou Cheng would be responsible for any problems caused by physical punishment …
Lou Cheng looked carefully. After confirming that there was nothing ambiguous, he smiled and said,
"I have no problem with it."
"Okay, let's just sign it." Chu Weicai asked Dai Linfeng to bring him a fountain pen and said self-deprecatingly, "At my age, a fountain pen is more comfortable. I'm not used to you young people's signature pens and ballpoint pens."
After a few swipes, the two finished signing and kept one copy each. Lou Cheng wrote down his card number on another sheet of paper.
"Welcome to our martial arts club. When you become famous, we'll be proud of you too!" Chu Weicai shook Lou Cheng's hands and formally expressed his welcome. In the end, he reminded him, "Those kids are here to strengthen their bodies and learn some self-defense moves. Don't be too strict. Let them rest when they need to, in case something bad happens to them."
"Okay." Lou Cheng agreed happily.
He wasn't an inexperienced person. During the martial arts lessons, the special training members would often help the lazy Geezer Shi to teach them in groups. Most of the students who joined the Martial Arts Club only wanted to strengthen their bodies and learn some self-defense moves.
"Come directly on Monday." Chu Weicai turned to look at his disciple. "Qin Rui, show Lou Cheng around and familiarize him with the place."
"Yes, Master." Qin Rui exhaled and looked at ease.
After the two left and the door closed, Dai Linfeng frowned slightly and said, "Master, there's no need to be so attentive. He obviously wants to keep a distance from us … "
Chu Weicai laughed and said, "You're still too young. The most important thing for a person to succeed is to learn how to read people. You know who to keep a distance from, who to befriend, and who to befriend … Sigh, I only understood this after I turned 40. Otherwise, how could I be trapped in Xiushan …"
…
"The third floor is our lounge, locker room, office, and Strength Training Gymnasium for inner disciples … The second floor has two practice fields and three large Strength Training Gymnasiums. When it's usually empty, we'll use a part of it as a gym. When summer classes start, we'll have to rotate according to time. But you don't have to worry about the VIP class. You can directly use the Strength Training Gymnasium on the third floor. The individual instruction is also there …" Qin Rui introduced the layout and facilities of the martial arts club to Lou Cheng.
When the two passed by a practice field, they suddenly heard a surprised shout,
"Brother Lou Cheng!"
Lou Cheng looked over and found that it was his cousin's boyfriend, Ding Yanbo. He was a long-term student and was walking and standing with seven or eight other people.
"Practice hard." Lou Cheng smiled and encouraged him. Qin Rui put on a serious face and corrected the irregular movements of several students — this was the group he was in charge of.
When the two were far away, a student asked Ding Yanbo in a low voice, "Ding Ding, who is that? Do you know him? He looks like he's very good at fighting … "
Although they didn't know that this was a sign of a certain level of body refining, they could still feel Lou Cheng's fierceness and toughness. They felt that he didn't look weak at all when standing next to Qin Rui, who was more than 1.9 meters tall.
"Hey, hey, it's me, it's my cousin!" Ding Yanbo was thick-skinned and pretended to be a relative. "He's Brother Rui's classmate. Brother Rui specially invited him to teach the VIP class!"
"Really?" Several students were surprised.
That was the VIP class that the master was in charge of!
"Of course, why would I lie to you? You'll know in a few days! "Ding Yanbo was so excited that his face turned red.
I haven't told you that Brother Lou Cheng is very likely to be the head coach of the martial arts club!
This was what Qin Rui had mentioned when they were chatting.
When the other students were about to ask, they saw Qin Rui stop and yell back, "What are you talking about? Don't you want to eat? "
Suddenly, several students kept quiet out of fear and didn't dare to make a sound.
Seeing this, Lou Cheng found it funny and said, "You're very dignified."
"Of course I am! These bastards dare to slack off when I smile at them. Cheng, when you teach the VIP class on Monday, you should show them your power at the beginning. They'll be scared of you and then it'll be easier to control them later. Otherwise, kids at this age can turn the sky upside down! "Qin Rui imparted his own experience.
Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay."
How should I show them my power?
[This is a really troublesome question …]
While he was thinking, Qin Rui asked in a low voice,
"Cheng, are you going to participate in this Youth Tournament?"
