After paying his respects to Shanghe, Zuo Yi sat down on the sofa.
Although Shang Yulin obviously didn't want to talk about the cause of Shanghe's death, he still wanted to know more.
The room was quiet.
After a while, perhaps because Zuo Yi's silence made Shang Yulin feel pressured, she pursed her lips and said, "Zuo Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"I just came back."
Zuo Yi said, "I want to find a job to settle down. I originally came to look for a job."
Zuo Yi didn't ask about the cause of Shanghe's death because he didn't want to force Shang Yulin. She would know the truth sooner or later anyway.
Shang Yulin smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, Tenhiro is in a bad situation now. The previous instructors have all left, and there aren't many students left. The recruitment advertisement at the bus stop was put up by a friend, and will be removed in two days."
"If you want to find a job, I can ask my friend. It's better than working here anyway."
In fact, the real situation was worse than what she said. Tenhiro Budokan was facing a great predicament. They couldn't recruit new instructors or new students, and people left after asking.
Shang Yulin was having a hard time holding on, but no matter how hard she tried, she would not drag Zuo Yi down with her.
Zuo Yi thought for a while and said, "Shang Shijie, I don't have any other job now anyway. Why don't I work part-time here for a while? The salary doesn't matter. Can we talk about other things later?"
"I have a certificate of Professional Third Swordsmanship, and meet the requirements of the Martial Arts Hall."
Shang Yulin hesitated.
Emotionally, she didn't want to trouble Zuo Yi, but her rationality told her that Zuo Yi's proposal was good.
"That's it then."
Zuo Yi directly decided, "Shang Shijie, no, curator, I'll come to work tomorrow."
"Just call me Senior Sister."
Shang Yulin finally came up with a way to satisfy both sides, "You help Tenhiro first, and I'll help you find another job."
Zuo Yi got up and smiled, "There's no hurry."
Shang Yulin said, "I'll see you out."
As soon as they left the room, three or four people came to them.
The leader of the group was a burly man. He wore a tight black vest, revealing his bulging muscles and a pair of shorts that revealed his thick thighs. He gave off a very powerful feeling.
The muscular man shot a quick glance at Shang Yulin before his gaze landed on Zuo Yi. His eyes were filled with hostility.
Like a big black dog guarding its food.
He asked in a muffled voice, "Senior Sister, what is this guy doing here for?"
Shang Yulin frowned and said, "This is Zuo Yi. Starting tomorrow, he will be the swordsmanship instructor of our dojo."
She then introduced him to Zuo Yi, "Zhang Dahai, a fourth stage professional fighting instructor. He is also my Junior Brother."
Zuo Yi nodded.
Shang Yulin called him Junior Brother, which meant that this Zhang Dahai was Shanghe's direct disciple.
But this Junior Brother obviously had some thoughts about his Senior Sister.
"Swordsmanship instructor?"
The strong man Zhang Dahai immediately stretched out his big hand to Zuo Yi and grinned, "Hello, Instructor Zuo!"
The two students behind him showed a gloating expression. They looked at Zuo Yi with eyes full of ridicule.
The skin on Zhang Dahai's right hand was very rough. His five fingers were as thick as carrots, and his knuckles were covered with calluses. One could imagine what it felt like to be held by such a hand.
The students who followed Zhang Dahai saw with their own eyes that he squeezed a guy until he cried and almost peed his pants.
That was a pretty boy who wanted to hit on Shang Yulin.
Zuo Yi looked much stronger than ordinary pretty boys, but could he withstand Zhang Dahai's strength?
Shang Yulin said angrily, "Zhang Dahai!"
Of course, she knew what her Junior Brother was doing, so she warned him not to go too far.
Before Shang Yulin's voice died away, the two people's hands were already tightly clasped together.
Zhang Dahai said loudly, "Nice to meet you!"
Zuo Yi smiled.
This smile made Zhang Dahai gnash his teeth. He really wanted to punch Zuo Yi's face on the spot and see if he could still smile.
When Zhang Dahai brought the two students back to the dojo, he heard from the receptionist that a very tall and handsome man had entered a small room with Shang Yulin to talk privately. The two of them knew each other.
Zhang Dahai immediately became anxious. He was about to run over to take a look when Shang Yulin and Zuo Yi came out.
He was very unhappy when he saw Zuo Yi and decided to teach Zuo Yi a lesson. He quickly increased the strength of his five fingers.
However, Zhang Dahai never expected that no matter how much strength he increased, Zuo Yi was indifferent. He felt that he was not holding a body of flesh and blood, but an extremely hard steel!
Damn it!
Zhang Dahai immediately realized that he had underestimated Zuo Yi. He had greatly underestimated the latter's strength. This time, he had hit an iron plate.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to endure Zuo Yi's counterattack. He thought that even if Zuo Yi crushed his hand, he would endure it.
His bones could be crushed, but he could not lose face, especially in front of Shang Yulin.
However, the expected counterattack did not happen. Zuo Yi casually let go of his hand and turned to Shang Yulin and said, "Shang Shijie, I'll go back first. See you tomorrow."
After that, he directly left the dojo.
Shang Yulin stared blankly at Zuo Yi's back as he walked further and further away until the latter disappeared at the door.
Then, she glared at Zhang Dahai and turned to go back to her room.
Zhang Dahai withered like a frosted eggplant.
The two students next to him looked at each other, and did not know how to comfort him.
The two of them thought that they could see a good show, but in the end, Zhang Dahai could not do anything to Zuo Yi, and even angered Shang Yulin.
They had truly suffered a double loss.
This also made them very curious about Zuo Yi, and they had some expectations.
They did not know what kind of changes the arrival of this swordsmanship instructor would bring to Tenhiro Budokan.
In fact, what they really needed to know was what kind of impact Zuo Yi's return would have on the world!
…
West Lake, ancient alley, green willows.
Guan Zhishang carefully followed a maid dressed in Han attire, walking on a forest path covered with Yuhua stones.
The place he was now in was the top and most mysterious private club in Hangzhou. Guan Zhishang had only heard people talking about it at banquets before, but today he was able to see it for himself.
It was said that this was a social place for high-ranking officials, nobles, and rich people. Many of the people who came and went were children of aristocratic families or high-ranking officials. Therefore, Guan Zhishang was particularly cautious, and did not even dare to look at the beautiful maid in front of him.
The winding path led to a secluded place, passing through the willow forest, and an elegant courtyard appeared in front of him.
The maid led Guan Zhishang to the main room of the Sanheyuan, and saw that several young men and women were already sitting inside.
On the left and right sides of the door, there was a bodyguard in a black suit.
As soon as Guan Zhishang entered the door, the two bodyguards' eyes were focused on him at the same time, and he could feel the fierceness through the sunglasses.
Guan Zhishang suddenly froze, and his back immediately exuded cold sweat.
He felt like a prey being stared at by a beast, and instinctively felt fear.
The maid in ancient costume walked to the side of a young man, bent down, and whispered a few words to him.
The young man turned his head and glanced at Guan Zhishang at the door, and nodded slightly.
Guan Zhishang quickly squeezed out a flattering smile, and then consciously stood aside, patiently waiting for the other party's call.
His heart calmed down a lot.
This young man was the crown prince of Jin Yufu Group, Yuan Bin.
Guan Zhishang worked conscientiously in the jewelry store under Jin Yufu Group for more than ten years, and fortunately, he was recognized by Yuan Bin, so he was now the store manager.
Although it was Yuan Bin who asked Guan Zhishang to come here today, the young master obviously had no intention of immediately greeting the latter. He refocused his attention on the 100-inch projection screen in front of him.
A smartly dressed office lady held a laser pointer and explained to the screen, "Everyone, please take a look. This is Linjiang Town, the area with the most potential for development on the south bank of the Qianjiang River. The total land area available for use is 12.75 square kilometers."
The projection screen showed a high-definition satellite image of the Linjiang Town area.
The woman continued, "We plan to complete the demolition of Linjiang Town in the first half of next year, and start the first phase of the construction of Jiangnan New City in the second half of next year, with an initial investment of 17 billion yuan."
The red dot emitted by the laser pointer in her hand coincidentally fell on the location of Zuo Yi's house!
