Chapter 1: Stormy Chapter 5: Master Liu Hai
Penghai City, inside a skyscraper that soars into the sky.
Cheng Zihao was lying in a gaming chair, wearing virtual glasses, when suddenly there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in." Cheng Zihao switched the mode of his virtual glasses to reality mode and looked at a middle-aged man who walked in from outside the door.
After the middle-aged man came in, he closed the door first, and then said in a slightly flattering tone: "Boss, Binhai City Xingkong Fighting Hall has decided to fire Xu Jingming. I changed an account to contact Xu Jingming, but Xu Jingming blocked me again."
"Really decisive." Cheng Zihao, with fair skin, smiled, "Li Miaomiao blocked me, and Xu Jingming also blocked us. The two of them are really interesting. Is this what they call a friendship stronger than gold? Hahaha... Really interesting. By the way, where is Li Yuanping? He is Li Miaomiao's uncle."
"Li Yuanping went to find Li Miaomiao's parents in person, but Li Miaomiao's parents obviously approved of Xu Jingming as their son-in-law and drove Li Yuanping out," said the middle-aged man.
"It's really useless."
Cheng Zihao frowned slightly, "This Li Miaomiao is really different from other singers. Doesn't she care about fame and fortune?"
"She has changed her live streaming platform. Her latest live streaming was on Micro World." The middle-aged man said helplessly, "And she has never signed a long-term contract with our platform. She only streams once a month and has never cared about making money from live streaming. She is very Buddhist. Boss, what should we do next?"
"Li Miaomiao and Xu Jingming are both public figures, and their attitudes are so tough. Forget it. There are many things I like in this world, and I can't get them all." Cheng Zihao shook his head. "Let's stop with Li Miaomiao for now. But continue to pay attention to her... People will change. I don't believe that she has never cared about fame and fortune. "
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded and smiled, "She may still be young. Now she is in her early twenties and may not care about fame and fortune. But after a few years, after being beaten by society and realizing the importance of fame and fortune, she may change."
"If you become snobbish in a few years, I may not look down on you." Cheng Zihao said calmly, "Go down."
"Yes." The middle-aged man left respectfully.
Cheng Zihao's virtual glasses switched to immersive mode again. To him, Li Miaomiao was just a small splash in his life and he didn't take her seriously at all.
In the immersive mode, a huge stock market screen appeared. Cheng Zihao watched it. The capital market was what he really cared about.
"Why did Tiger Shark's stock price fall by 8% today? I didn't find any bad news?" Cheng Zihao couldn't understand it. It was rare for a super large-cap stock like Tiger Shark Group to have such a big drop.
"My dad has ordered that in order to diversify the risks, all my investments are not allowed to touch Tiger Shark Group. Let my dad worry about it." Cheng Zihao didn't think any more about it.
The family's biggest asset is 8.2% of Tiger Shark Group's stock, so of course he cares about it. But according to family rules, his personal property has nothing to do with Tiger Shark Group. As for the sharp drop in Tiger Shark Group's stock? His father Cheng Liwei has been in control of the group for more than 30 years, and Cheng Zihao still believes in his father's ability.
…
In the capital, in a Chinese-style villa, there is only an old man living in the villa except for a butler robot.
The burly old man was sitting at the dining table, eating a few cloves of garlic, gnawing on beef, and taking a few bites of cooked vegetables.
He is none other than the legendary figure in the world martial arts circle - 'Fierce Tiger' Liu Hai.
At the age of 45, he participated in the first World Martial Arts Competition and competed with masters from all over the world. You should know that only the top 32 in the world are eligible to participate! Most of the participants are around 30 years old, so Liu Hai is definitely an older player.
He made it to the top three for five consecutive years, and even won the world's first place in the fifth session! He served as the head coach of the Xiaguo national team for twenty years!
In terms of legendary status, in the past thirty years, only two martial arts masters in Xia Country can match him. In terms of seniority, he is the oldest, and most of the top professional martial arts players in Xia Country have to call him Master!
Now in his seventies, Liu Hai still spends half a year every year in seclusion to practice arduous cultivation.
For example, he eats five meals a day, mainly beef, supplemented by vegetables and other side dishes. There is no other way, with his training intensity, he can't bear to eat less.
"Hmm?" Liu Hai had a pair of tiger eyes, exuding domineering aura. Domineering aura is mysterious, it is the strong biomagnetic field brought by a strong physique. Liu Hai, who is 1.92 meters tall and weighs 110 kilograms, was able to make it into the top three in the first five World Martial Arts Competitions, where the rules were the most imperfect, and he was never injured. It can be seen that his physique and skills have reached an amazing level.
"What the hell is this?" Liu Hai stared at the information displayed on the screen in front of him, his eyes widened, "This bastard is bullying my apprentice?"
"Fang Xinglong." Liu Hai shouted.
Fang Xinglong's image appeared on the screen. Fang Xinglong said respectfully, "Master, I thought about it all night yesterday, but I couldn't think of any other way, so I told you all this. Junior brother joined the provincial team in high school, and for so many years he has been like an ascetic monk, concentrating on martial arts. Who would have thought that Cheng Zihao would bully him. Junior brother refused to say more in front of me, and I asked around, and it seems to be related to his girlfriend."
"Love affairs are really annoying. How many young people have ruined their future because of love." Liu Hai shook his head. Even though he was in his seventies, he still secluded himself for half a year every year and did not see anyone.
Love and worldliness will only affect the speed of his attacks!
"Master, do you have any solution for my junior brother's problem?" Fang Xinglong asked. He knew that his master had a very large network of connections.
"They are a big business group. What can I do? Let me think about it first. Don't interfere in this matter." Liu Hai said.
"Yes, Master, I will listen to you." Fang Xinglong responded.
The light curtain is closed.
Liu Hai sat there, thinking while chewing the cooked beef, but he felt that the beef in his mouth had no taste.
"Jingming is still too weak. If he had trained for three more years before entering the World Martial Arts Competition... he wouldn't have broken his leg and ruined his future." Liu Hai sighed, "He has too high a talent for shooting, and his world ranking rose too quickly. Entering the World Martial Arts Competition too early has harmed him instead."
Twenty years old is still too young to participate in the highest level world martial arts competition.
"With his talent, if he were 23 or 24 years old and entered the World Martial Arts Competition again, he would have a chance to win first place in the world. Being first in the world would be glorious, so why would he be forced into this state?" Liu Hai pondered. He was just a martial artist, and it was not easy for him to help his apprentice.
"Old Guo." Liu Hai called out.
The light curtain in front of him condensed, and a figure appeared in the light curtain. It was a white-haired old man sitting in front of the desk.
"Brother Hai, is there something wrong?" The white-haired old man was also in a high position, but facing Liu Hai, who was three years younger than him, he was still very respectful and called him "Brother Hai". The two had been friends for decades.
"Old Guo, that national key cultivation list." Liu Hai put down the beef in his hand, "Don't I have a recommendation quota? I thought about it and decided to recommend Xu Jingming."
"Xu Jingming?" The gray-haired old man thought for a moment and said, "You are qualified to recommend, but you still have to go through an audit in the end. There are only 20 people on the list this time! You martial arts masters account for 12 of them. Other fighting schools also account for 5. There are only the last three places left. Xu Jingming wants to compete for these three places... To be honest, he is not qualified enough."
"Jingming is only 29 years old this year and has great potential. Even with a serious leg injury, he was able to make it to the top eight of the World Martial Arts Competition. If he hadn't had a leg injury, he would have been able to become the world's number one." Liu Hai said.
"We all know what you said, but I must tell you that his chances of competing for the three places are relatively low. Are you sure you want to recommend him? " asked the gray-haired old man.
"Most of my most promising disciples over the years have been ranked in the top three in the world and have won the title of martial arts master. It's a pity for Jingming and Xiaotong. Xiaotong has given up martial arts a long time ago, but Jingming has never given up. He has been the same for many years. With this character, he is more worthy of cultivation."
"Well, Brother Hai, please write a detailed recommendation letter as soon as possible. It would be best if you send it to me today so that I can send it to the judges." The gray-haired old man said, "As for whether it will be successful or not, it still needs to go through the final review by the judges."
"Okay." Liu Hai nodded.
After the light curtain dissipated, Liu Hai continued to chew beef and thought: "In all the previous world martial arts competitions, there are a total of twelve people from Xiaguo who have won the top three in the world! Among these twelve, the oldest is me, there is also a disabled person, several people are out of shape, and one even has cancer. But these twelve are all included in the cultivation list. Can the disabled, cancerous, and old people all be cultivated?"
"It said it was a great thing, but the details were not disclosed."
"I don't know what good news this is." Liu Hai thought, "If Jingming can also be included in the list, it can be considered an opportunity."
Liu Hai’s concept is very simple. Is his apprentice in trouble?
When the disciple becomes strong, there will be no more troubles, and he may even become a trouble to the other party!
