Ding!
It was rare for Lou Cheng to receive a message. He picked it up and saw that it was a typhoon warning in Huacheng. In the next few days, a disaster would hit Huacheng.
It's said that it happens a few times a year along the southeast coast? Lou Cheng thought about it casually and started to think about where to do his morning training in the storm.
Should he come to the club earlier? He used his chopsticks to tear a small hole in the crab roe soup dumpling in front of him, letting the soup slowly overflow and fill the entire plate. He then took a picture and sent it to Yan Zheke with a sneaky smile emoji.
After returning from the university town last night, he chatted with his wife as usual, called his mother, chatted with Talker and the others on QQ, played seven to eight rounds of games, and read novels. This morning, he woke up on time and trained hard, focusing on the technique of the Fire Sect's thirteenth move, Scorch. At 8: 15 a.m., he met up with Lu Shaofei, Yu Wangyuan, and the rest. They took a car to the club and enjoyed all kinds of breakfast in the restaurant.
"I want to eat!" Yan Zheke replied with a teary face emoji.
"I just finished my morning training. Who's showing off a big meal?" Lou Cheng snickered.
It was summer break at Connecticut University. His wife's homework was coming to an end along with the submission of the report. Her parents-in-law had flown to America and planned to bring her on a two-week trip before returning together. At that time, Little Fairy would spend a few days with her grandparents before flying over for a "family reunion".
Because it was too hot to go out, and because he didn't know much about Huacheng, Lou Cheng suggested that Yan Zheke buy a house during the winter break. In summer, shopping, eating at old restaurants, and lazing around at home with the air conditioner was the way to go.
Furthermore, Longhu Club's salary was paid monthly. It was eight hundred thousand a month. If it wasn't enough, it would be paid in one lump sum at the end of the year. If he wanted to pay the full amount, he would have to save for a while.
Just as Lou Cheng buried his head in the soup and stuffed the crust into his mouth and chewed with relish, the girl said, "I get hungry quickly. Can't I?"
"Okay, okay, okay. When you come to Huacheng, I'll bring you to the club's restaurant! Family members get a discount! "Lou Cheng smirked as he typed. Suddenly, he felt someone approaching.
He looked up and saw Auman in a round collar white shirt walking over. She smiled and asked,
"Mr. Lou, what do you think of the dishes from Xing Province yesterday?"
"Not bad. The craftsmanship is very authentic. It's not that kind of local improvement. However, there are a few dishes that I don't quite like. I can make some adjustments. For example, the Beef in Sour Soup …" Lou Cheng honestly expressed his thoughts, not intending to be modest.
In the next few years, he might have to eat the dishes cooked by that chef. He couldn't endure it for a while!
Auman took out a pen and paper from her handbag and took notes seriously. In the end, she smiled and said, "I'll tell the chef directly."
She emphasized the word "direct" to show her sincerity.
Lou Cheng smiled and nodded. He remembered the question and changed the topic.
"Isn't there a typhoon coming soon? The Sky Capital Garden's field is half open, so there's no shelter from the rain. Where should I go for my morning exercise? "
Auman's mind raced as she said, "Sky Capital Garden's activity center has a small indoor dojo. Mr. Lou, if you're sure, I can help you inform them in advance and get the key. When the time comes, you can go whenever you want."
She was most afraid that Lou Cheng wouldn't have any requests and she wouldn't be able to perform. Now, she couldn't wait to rush over to the Sky Capital Garden property!
"Okay, thank you." Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and nodded sincerely.
"You're welcome. It's what I should do!" Auman was overjoyed, her pretty face glowing.
She saw Lou Cheng's gaze turn to the stack of steamers. She tactfully said, "I won't disturb your meal. I'll go settle the matter of the dojo."
She took small steps back and slowly turned around. She walked towards the door with a smile. Only when she saw Huang Bin's annoyed expression did she restrain her expression. With her head held high, she walked past him in a dignified manner and left gracefully.
She finally understood that in the workplace, it wasn't good to always give in and be a good person. You couldn't abandon your kindness to others, but you had to fight for what you had to fight for. Otherwise, not only would others trample on you, but they would also mock you!
Huang Bin had been in the Assistant Group for many years. Although he wanted to immediately go up to Lou Cheng and exchange a few pleasantries and ask if the driver yesterday was satisfactory, his rich experience told him that under the premise that Auman had just "disturbed" him, he would only trigger the emotion of "annoyance" if he went up himself. The loss outweighed the gain.
He secretly gritted his teeth and silently left the restaurant.
Lou Cheng didn't notice the workplace struggles of others at all. He chatted with his little fairy while enjoying his breakfast.
He left the restaurant at 9: 10 a.m. and entered the Dan Stage Training Room to continue comprehending and practicing his unique skills. He returned to his exclusive resting room at 10: 50 a.m. and had a video call with Yan Zheke. He returned to the restaurant at 12: 30 a.m. and bumped into Tu Zheng coming out.
"Dinner gathering? I've already booked a private room in the club. Is it okay to leave at 6 p.m.?" Tu Zheng's chiseled face was gentle and smiling.
"Sure." Lou Cheng agreed readily since he had nothing to do.
After that, he, who had just come into contact with powerful martial arts, was so excited that he didn't take an afternoon nap. He spent the entire afternoon in the Training Room and the Training Room.
Boom! In the void of his fist, scarlet flames rolled in all directions, hiding a golden color.
Lou Cheng nodded in satisfaction and kept his stance.
He had finally mastered the 13th move of the Fire Sect, Scorch. Everything is difficult at the beginning. The progress of the remaining twenty over unique skills would be faster than this. Well, excluding the most difficult ones …
Swoosh. Warm water dripped down and washed away his fatigue. Lou Cheng changed his clothes and carried his bag. He went to the Reserve Team's Training Room in the Northwest to meet up with Yu Wangyuan and the rest.
"I've already informed the Assistant Team. There's a car to send you guys there. I'll bring Jianlin and Xiaolu." Tu Zheng waved his hand generously.
The six Inhumans of the Reserve Team arrived at a luxurious clubhouse without a word along the way.
Just as they pushed open the door to the private room, Lou Cheng, Lu Shaofei and the rest were stunned because there was already someone sitting inside. It was a bald man who looked like half of an iron tower, a First Pin expert with fierce eyebrows, "Optimus Prime" Long Zhen!
Compared to yesterday's meeting in the meeting room, Long Zhen didn't release his aura, but it made people tremble involuntarily. It was like an animal meeting its natural enemy or a weakling meeting a mafia boss.
Long Zhen didn't care about the shock of Jia Lu and the rest. He casually cut off the end of his cigar and turned it over the fire.
"Master Long took good care of me when I was in the Reserve Team. He often gave me pointers and can be considered as half a master to me." Tu Zheng explained with a smile, "When he heard that I was going to hold a welcome dinner for Lou Cheng, he said he wanted to come and join in the fun. There aren't many Physical Invulnerability Experts like him who don't put on airs!"
Isn't that so? Among all the Physical Invulnerability Experts I've seen, those who put on airs are few and far between … Maybe he doesn't want to put on airs in front of me? Lou Cheng criticized in his heart. He cupped his fists and greeted him calmly.
Lu Shaofei and the rest came to their senses. Keeping their shock, they followed suit and greeted,
"Greetings, Master Long!"
"Have a seat." Long Zhen's mouth broke into a wide arc. He pointed to the cigar box at the side and said to Lou Cheng, "Want one?"
He didn't show any authority, but there was an irresistible aura about him.
Who could reject the goodwill of a First Pin expert?
"It's okay. I don't smoke." Lou Cheng took a light breath and smiled calmly.
"What are you afraid of? You're no longer at the foundation tempering stage, "said Long Zhen as he took a puff of the cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke.
Without waiting for Lou Cheng's reply, he chuckled and said, "Your Ice Mirror has reached the level of Encountering Gods In The Void, Self Reflection, right?"
As soon as he said that, Lu Shaofei and the rest were shocked. Physical Invulnerability Experts wouldn't be interested in such a level. However, for Inhumans, it might not be possible. Among all the Fourth Pins present, other than Tu Zheng, no one else could achieve such a level!
He had only been an Inhuman for a year, right?
As expected of the Heavenly Son of the era …
This person must have specially researched my competition videos and put in a lot of effort … A first-pin expert like Long Zhen wouldn't be so bored. Who could it be … Lou Cheng looked at Tu Zheng beside him and nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes."
"Isn't that settled then? At this level, controlling your body, removing the dirt and cleansing your lungs is a piece of cake. Why would you be afraid of a cigarette? "said Long Zhen with a half-smile.
Lou Cheng gave a self-deprecating laugh and replied firmly, "I really don't like it."
Long Zhen didn't say anything else and turned to ask Yu Wangyuan and the rest. No one rejected him. In an instant, the room was filled with smoke and looked like a fairyland.
Lou Cheng didn't mind. His lungs were so strong that they could cleanse themselves. Not smoking directly was just a matter of attitude and principle.
When the cold dishes were served, Tu Zheng smiled and said, "I brought a few good wines. You guys take a look and see what you want to drink."
After Lu Shaofei and the rest made their choices, Lou Cheng waved his hand and said awkwardly, "I don't drink."
"Don't drink? Which swordsman in ancient times didn't drink? "sneered Long Zhen.
Lou Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm used to it. There's no need to break it. Besides, compared to alcohol, I prefer other flavors."
"You're so boring." Long Zhen didn't force him. He chuckled and said, "If it were any other job, if you don't drink, would you dare to not drink when the leader stares at you?"
"I'm working hard to practice martial arts so that I can have the right to refuse." Lou Cheng imitated what he said back then and smiled calmly.
Long Zhen nodded slowly. "You're right …"
The grouper and abalones were served one by one. When the banquet started, Tu Zheng livened up the conversation. Long Zhen also talked about the things that happened in the reserve team from time to time. Both the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.
After dinner, Long Zhen didn't stay for long. He said that he was going to other places in the club to relax. Under Tu Zheng's invitation, Lou Cheng and the rest went to the KTV on the third floor to sing for a while.
After Lu Shaofei and Jia Lu played for a while and left, Tu Zheng smiled and went out for a few minutes.
Not long after he came back, the door opened. More than ten girls walked in and stood in a row in front of the big screen. Some were young and beautiful, some were charming, and some were fat and thin. They all had their own flavors.
"The quality is not bad. You guys can choose first." Tu Zheng leaned back in a relaxed manner and rested his arms on the back of the sofa.
"I don't need it." Lou Cheng was the first to answer.
"What are you afraid of? What's wrong with a man acting outside? "Tu Zheng chuckled.
Seeing that Yu Wangyuan and Sun Jianlin had started to choose, Lou Cheng took a deep breath and stood up. "I have something to do. I'll leave first. You guys have fun."
After he finished, he exchanged glances with Tu Zheng. He didn't panic at all and was calm.
"Go ahead if you have something to do," Tu Zheng said slowly.
Lou Cheng nodded and left.
After he left, Sun Jianlin drank with his female companion as if nothing had happened. He smiled and said, "Leader Tu, you're too anxious. We don't know each other well enough. He's still a kid who just left school."
"That's true. However, I can see that Lou Cheng is a person with a strong will. He's a martial artist who is used to restraining himself." Yu Wangyuan sighed and hugged his two female companions.
Tu Zheng had a beautiful girl sitting beside him. His eyes were half closed and he didn't say a word.
…
July 3rd, Friday afternoon.
Lou Cheng was having his meal when Yu Wangyuan leaned over and smiled. "The reserve team has a weekly sparring session in the afternoon. Do you want to join?"
Lou Cheng, who had mastered another unique skill of the Fire Sect, was itching to join.
"Sure."
