"I'm the representative of Longhu Club."
Hearing this, Cai Zongming and the rest looked at each other excitedly. They patted Lou Cheng on the shoulder and walked past him to the elevator.
"Hello." Lou Cheng locked his phone and nodded with a smile.
"Hello, my surname is Zhang. Today, I'm mainly here to discuss the general conditions and our arrangements for the future. If you feel that there are no problems, we will draft a contract and send it to you in a few days." Mr. Zhang pointed to the cafe next to the lobby. "Let's sit and talk."
"Sure." Lou Cheng didn't refuse.
After ordering a drink, Mr. Zhang crossed his fingers and placed them in front of his chest.
He smiled and said, "Judging from your reaction, you really won't be returning to Wuyue Club. I'm relieved. Longhu Club's initial plan is to offer you a five-year contract with a yearly salary of ten million."
"Ten million?" Lou Cheng was surprised.
According to the information published online, a veteran Fourth Pin Mighty One's annual salary was only six to seven million. The difference wasn't big for foreign Grandmasters of Martial Arts of the same level.
Money in China was still very valuable!
Mr. Zhang chuckled and said, "Dragon King suggested that you be treated as a quasi Physical Invulnerability expert. This is only your salary and doesn't include bonuses or benefits. If you don't mind, I'll talk about the subsequent terms."
"I'm very satisfied," Lou Cheng replied with a smile. He didn't bargain.
This was much better than what he had expected. Moreover, Dragon King had fought hard for it. If he asked for more, he would be too greedy.
Mr. Zhang took a sip of his black coffee. He pushed his glasses and said, "The main source of bonuses is from winning. For every match you win, depending on the importance of the match, you'll get a bonus of one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand. In addition, you'll get a share of the club's final ranking …"
He picked the important points and said, "The benefits will be based on the income from the club's related industries. If you're not a Physical Invulnerability expert, it won't be much. After you make the big leap, your annual salary and bonuses will be just pocket money. Of course, if you want to get more, you'll have to work for the club. This isn't mandatory."
"I have no problem with the general terms. When the time comes, I'll get a lawyer to take a look." Lou Cheng nodded in agreement.
"That's what you should do." Mr. Zhang smiled and talked about other agreements. When he reached a preliminary agreement with Lou Cheng, he moved on to the next arrangement. "Is it okay to report before July?"
"No." Lou Cheng shook his head.
"With your current realm and strength, it would be very difficult for you to participate in the top professional competitions. It's also quite risky. We'll give you some time to digest the Dan Stage unique skill of the Fire Sect. We'll register you for the preliminaries of the Battle of the Kings in mid-August. After that, we'll make similar arrangements. We'll strive to let you have a high-level battle every week …"
"Next year, in February or March, if you agree, I will let you experience it for yourself in a second or third tier professional team that you have a good relationship with …"
"If there is a serious injury, the club will take care of the first three months. After that, the insurance company will take care of the rest. You can rest assured … In short, the goal is for you to make the great leap and achieve Physical Invulnerability within three years! By the way, I forgot to mention that we have the priority to renew the contract. We can also buy out the contract. "Mr. Zhang emphasized his words with his hand gestures to show his confidence in Lou Cheng.
The four tier professional competitions in China started at the end of February or the beginning of March and ended at the end of December or the beginning of January every year. The central government would have two long breaks, as well as a gap to make way for the five major title competitions.
Among the five major title competitions, the Battle of the Kings would be held from mid-August to early September every year. In the first two weeks of December, there would be an elimination battle to determine the challenger of the previous King. In March or April of the following year, the winner of two out of three rounds would be the new King.
The title competitions of the Warrior Sage, Supreme Class, Master, and Kirin had similar arrangements. They would take advantage of the gaps in the professional competitions. The only difference was that each competition format was slightly different. For example, the top three of the Supreme Class would be eliminated in an elimination battle. They would form a four-man round-robin with the previous champion. They would face off against each other once, and the one with the best record would win the title. If there was a tie, there would be a tiebreaker.
After Lou Cheng asked for a few details and expressed his opinion, the preliminary discussion ended happily. Mr. Zhang drank the last mouthful of black coffee and extended his hand with a smile.
"Then I'll go back and draft the contract. Congratulations on joining the Longhu Club."
"We're on the same side from now on." Lou Cheng extended his hand and shook the other party's hand.
"Goodbye. Rest early." Mr. Zhang waved his hand and left with a face full of joy.
Watching his back disappear at the entrance of the cafe, Lou Cheng sat down again. Looking at the dimly lit environment, listening to the gentle and melodious music, he drank a mouthful of slightly sour lemon water to quench his thirst. He suddenly realized that a journey in his life had come to an end, and a new adventure was about to begin.
He had always known that he would leave school after the National Championship and enter society after his third-year exams. However, "knowing clearly" and "feeling clearly" were two completely different concepts. Now that things had come to a head, the footsteps of the future were stepping on his heart one step at a time.
It was anticipation, hope, sadness, and melancholy.
I'm leaving the Martial Arts Club and the relatively simple school. What will the adult world, the world of professional martial arts, be like …
After July, I won't be able to travel to and from America as frequently as I did this year, let alone stay for ten days to half a month. I might only be able to go once every two or three months, and I can only stay for three to five days each time …
Brother-in-law was right when he said that the frivolous days of youth would end as soon as he matured …
The melody of the music entered his ears. Wearing a black T-shirt, Lou Cheng sat there with a cup in his hand. He didn't move for a long time, as if he had become a shadow in the dim light.
Two days later, he watched the final match between Shanbei and Capital. Ren Li used the Kongtong Swordsmanship, which was based on the unique skills of the Wind Sect, supplemented by Hidden Scent, and narrowly defeated Peng Leyun, who had gone through a fierce battle and was not in his best condition. Fang Zhirong, who had not recovered from his internal injuries and was ravaged by Ren Li, finally lost to Jiang Kongchan. Of course, Lou Cheng didn't let Jiang Kongchan off easily. The influence of the Dark Poison Force had greatly reduced Jiang Kongchan's strength, so he couldn't win by himself.
In the end, Jiang Jingfeng, who didn't show his strength, defeated Bernhard, drawing a perfect end to the hard work of the Capital Academy in the past few years.
After this year, Peng Leyun, Ren Li, Jiang Jingfeng, Xing Jingjing, and Piao Yuan all graduated. Lou Cheng, Li Xiaoyuan, and Fang Zhirong entered professional competitions in advance. The university martial arts circle fell back to the level it was two years ago. It was foreseeable that there would be no such glorious and brilliant situation in the future.
He Xiaowei, who was bald, commented,
"The golden age of the university martial arts circle has come to an end!"
PS: I think it's better to put the following content in a chapter, so this chapter has fewer words. Well, this is the last chapter of the third book.
