Chapter 081 Purple Class
Yang Wei told us that joining the instructor training class is arduous. In addition to morning exercises, there are many other training subjects. Anyway, the whole day is busy, which strengthens their will and hones their spirit.
You can live in a dormitory here or go home, it’s all fine, but you must complete your daily subjects.
Li Daming and I left with dark faces. When we got outside, Li Daming said, there is no way out in this situation now, let's adopt an apprentice mentality and an empty cup mentality and be prepared to endure hardships.
It was agreed that Li Daming would pick me up tomorrow and then we would report to the company together to start a new day. Li Daming told me that he wanted to live in the company dormitory, and I thought so too. Otherwise, we would have to get up at 4 or 5 o'clock every morning to commute and run exercises, which no one could bear.
After I got home, I simply packed my things, packed a backpack, and took my personal belongings to prepare to move into the dormitory tomorrow.
I went to bed early at night, and at five o'clock the next morning, my cell phone rang on time. This was the signal that Li Daming and I agreed on, indicating that he had arrived outside the community.
I washed up quickly, packed my backpack and went out, and sure enough he was there. We didn't waste any time and headed straight to the city center.
When we arrived at the office, it was already 5:40 in the morning. More than 20 people came to the door, some wearing yellow clothes, some wearing red clothes, and some wearing purple clothes. We found a phenomenon that the people in the yellow and red shifts were chatting happily with each other, while the purple shift stood at the end and no one paid any attention to them.
Yang Wei was wearing a white shirt, different from everyone else. He stood in front with his hands behind his back. When he saw us coming, his face suddenly darkened: "Hurry up and change your clothes and come out to gather!"
I was so angry that when I went in to change clothes, I whispered to Li Daming, "Look at that kid's energy. We weren't late, but he acted like someone owed him three hundred bucks."
"Forget it." Li Daming put on his purple vest slowly. "When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Now that we are here, we have to obey the hierarchy and rules here. If we are really ambitious, we can skip a grade and enter Huang Teng's advanced class."
When we came out, it was already 5:55. Yang Wei's eyes were so bright that they could seduce people. He looked at me and Li Daming and shouted, "Return to the team!"
The yellow class was in the front, the red class was in the middle, and the purple class we were in was lined up according to the color of their clothes.
Then the number was called, and I could see clearly that there were 22 students in the lecturer class, five in the yellow class, and the largest number in the red class, ten. The purple class had seven people. Li Daming and I stood at the end, at the bottom of the purple class.
At six o'clock, Yang Wei called out, "Let's go!" and we marched forward in a heroic procession. We went down from the building, bypassed two streets, entered a city park, and went up the winding mountain road. There was a small hill where many people were doing morning exercises.
Yang Wei led the students in our class to start running. We hadn't even run halfway when I was already far behind. I had been sitting in an office for the past two years and had neglected exercise. After running for a while, I was exhausted like a bastard.
Li Daming was in high spirits and hardly out of breath. He was quite nice and stayed by my side the whole time, encouraging me.
When we finished running around the mountain, the others were already resting, but I arrived panting heavily. White smoke came out of my sweat, and I was so tired that I almost vomited blood.
Yang Wei came over and looked us up and down: "How do you feel?"
I held my knees and couldn't say a word. Li Daming said awkwardly: "The intensity is a bit high. We are not very used to it on the first day."
"This is just the beginning." Yang Wei said.
After finally finishing the morning exercises, I was so tired that my legs felt like they were filled with lead. I followed everyone back to the unit and went to the cafeteria to have a buffet breakfast.
I had no appetite at all, and only felt hungry after sitting for a long time. I ordered a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, but before I could take a few bites, Yang Wei came over and rang the bell, saying that morning class had begun.
I had no choice but to put down my bowl and chopsticks and was about to follow him out. Yang Wei came over and patted my shoulder, forcing me to stay where I was, and whispered, "Don't waste food."
Everyone else had left, leaving only Li Daming with me. There were only two of us in the huge cafeteria.
I was so angry: "What the hell is this place? Didn't Uncle Zhong tell me it was just a dojo? How come it looks like Harry Potter's magic school?"
"I roughly know what this place is for ." Li Daming said: "When I went on business trips to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, I saw many similar social organizations, some teaching yoga, some teaching meditation, and some teaching sitting meditation. Anyway, they are all courses to adjust your mind. Huang Teng has a vision and ability, and I admire him more and more. He must have added psychic abilities and spiritual cultivation methods to the spiritual classes to fool these people."
"Damn, is this organization legal?" I said.
"How is it illegal?" Li Daming said, "First, they didn't gather a crowd, second, they didn't violate laws and discipline, and third, the relationship between the man and the woman was innocent. Are meditation, yoga and contemplation all illegal? Then many fitness centers would have to close down."
"I always feel uncomfortable, but I am a scientific person," I said.
"I think Huang Teng is right." Li Daming said, "Using mysterious methods to help people relieve stress, let everyone regain a new life and find the happiest and most harmonious self, isn't that good?"
I couldn't explain it for a moment. I always felt that this method was beyond cognition and a bit ridiculous. Huang Teng might have applied Taoism and supernatural powers to the classroom. I couldn't tell whether this was right or not.
Li Daming accompanied me to finish the meal, and we walked out of the cafeteria. The people from the three classes had been separated. The yellow class went to another venue, and there was no one from the red class. There were only seven students from the purple class left.
There is a monitor in the purple class, a woman in her forties, petite and delicate. "Today we have two new students in our class, everyone applaud."
The five of us applauded together . Li Daming and I clasped our fists in a very chivalrous manner and said “you’re welcome”.
The eldest sister said: "I am the monitor of our purple class, you can just call me Monitor Xu." She asked the two of us to introduce ourselves and then assigned today's work.
Li Daming and I were responsible for cleaning the classroom floor. After the assignment, we started working. All the students in the purple class had to work. Some were responsible for cleaning the windows, some were responsible for checking the electronic facilities in the institution, and some were responsible for cleaning the toilets. Anyway, it was all dirty and tiring work.
Huang Teng’s dojo occupies more than half of a floor in a building. There are four or five large classrooms that can accommodate dozens of people. Not to mention other things, just mopping the floor is enough to make a person exhausted.
Li Daming and I started from the south and north ends respectively, and our backs and waists ached from the work.
I was so tired that I sat outside the classroom, lit a cigarette and watched the class going on inside. A lecturer from the yellow class was teaching the students how to meditate. There were at least 30 people in the classroom, all young and beautiful girls, and some young women. They were scattered on the ground, with pillows and cushions next to them.
The instructor turned on meditation music and asked everyone to close their eyes. He walked gently in the middle and recited some guiding hypnotic sentences along with the music. Everyone relaxed using abdominal breathing.
I was smoking and watching with great interest. Suddenly, a slap came over and blew my cigarette butt away. I was furious and was about to curse when I saw Yang Wei and squad leader Xu coming over, staring at me angrily.
"Who told you to smoke in the teaching area? We have a special smoking room. Do you understand the rules?" Yang Wei lowered his voice and scolded me for fear of affecting the class inside.
I was also in the wrong, but I was still angry, so I said for a long time: "I was wrong."
"You were lazy during work and smoked without permission." Yang Wei said, "You will be deducted two points from the purple class today."
Squad Leader Xu lost his previous kindness and amiability. He stared at me with his eyes fixed. If he could kill someone, I would have died twice.
Yang Wei said: "Lin Cong, even though you were introduced here, you can go directly to Teacher Huang for help. But I tell you, there is no such thing as nonsense in our organization. If it doesn't work, it won't work no matter who you ask! If you don't pass the assessment, you will be fired. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it." I was so angry.
Yang Wei took squad leader Xu away. I had no interest in watching any more and just hung my head, working listlessly.
After a long day of watching, I felt sore in my back and waist. At night, Yang Wei assigned us dormitories. Li Daming and I lived in a three-person room. In addition to us, there was also a male student from the purple class. We greeted each other, and the male student told us that we could call him by his nickname, Aba.
Li Daming asked with great interest why it was called this name.
The male student said that he not only knows Chinese, but also foreign languages. What’s more rare is that he knows a special language called sign language, which sounds like “aba aba ba”.
We laughed out loud and thought he was quite cute.
After making the beds, Aba asked us what we did for a living. Li Daming and I told him that we used to work in a logistics company, but later resigned and devoted ourselves to this industry.
Aba said: "My family has a business, and my father wanted me to grow quickly, so he enrolled me in many classes. Later, I came here to study, and my progress was very fast. I plan to study hard, upgrade to the advanced class, and continue to study with Teacher Huang."
"How good is Teacher Huang?" I asked.
Aba said mysteriously: "Our teacher Huang is a very powerful person. Have you ever seen an exorcism ceremony?"
