Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
Despite having strong mental strength, Tang Xiu still felt like he was sitting on pins and needles facing Manager Huang’s queer gaze. He almost couldn’t bear to get up and leave.
“Manager Huang, isn’t it? You don’t have to care about me. You can go busy yourself with your work and straightly call me out when the ribbon cutting time comes. Also, Ouyang Lulu seems to have a bit of a fever today, causing her to be muddled-headed. Don’t take her joke seriously.”
“This is… interesting!” Manager Huang almost roared with laughter upon hearing this.
She had been with Ouyang Lulu for several years, and was definitely her right-hand woman. Thus, she was appointed as the General Manager of the Paradise Manor. She was well aware of the inside story of Ouyang Lulu’s personality from A to Z, yet she never imagined that the heavenly proud daughter, the young lady of the Ouyang Family whose pride seeped into her bones, would unexpectedly have such a thick skin as to chase after such a boy. The most important of all was that the boy even looked a few years younger than she. Moreover, said boy even used all sorts of excuses and was unwilling to accept her feelings.
_Like a sow trying to climb the tree, it’s an extremely rare occurrence and yet highly improbable._
Somehow, Manager Huang didn’t put Tang Xiu in her eyes. It was Ouyang Lulu’s display of attitude that was all the more interesting for her. During this very important time and event, however, she didn’t want to waste time with Tang Xiu, causing her to slightly nod at him with a fake smile as she turned around to leave.
Tang Xiu retracted his vision from the departed back of Manager Huang. Though he was quite bored, he didn’t feel like playing with his mobile phone again. While being unsure what to do, he caught the sight of a magazine on the nearby desk, so he took it and laid down on the sofa, covered his face with the magazine and was preparing to take a short nap.
Time passed by. Just as his eyes turned blurry, two arguing voices passed into his ears:
“Brother Jiang, the process of growing up is akin to a caterpillar breaking its cocoon and turning into a butterfly, shedding all the ugliness before its beautiful wings can vibrate beautifully under the sunlight, which only then will it flicker lightly and happily. For example, you can see Ouyang Lulu. She turned mature day by day and shed her young feathers. And now, she has come to struggle in Shanghai by herself; and she alone did everything for this wonderful scene to happen.”
“Brother Chen, despite your statement having a bit of truth in it, I actually have my own opinion. One’s growth is due to his or her being faced with some sorrowful matters and deal with it until he or she knows what is called of having been through the vicissitudes of life.”
“Brother Jiang, your statement reminds me of what my Master once said told me.”
“Your Master? Do you really have a Master, Brother Chen? Your Respected Master is…”
“I’m not…”
Tang Xiu got up from the sofa and removed the fashion magazine that covered his face, and then lightly said, “I’m his master.”
On the sofa opposite of the coffee table, both men turned to look at Tang Xiu at the same time.
“Master, you’re also here?”
When Chen Zhizhong just arrived, he found that someone was sleeping on the sofa at the opposite side. Though he felt somewhat strange given the current situation, he didn’t even recognize the man as Tang Xiu.
“Yeah, Ouyang Lulu sent me an invitation,” Tang Xiu nodded. “So I came over to join in the fun. Anyways, how did you come to be in Shanghai as well?”
“I came to Shanghai to sign a business contract, and then happened to learn from Ouyang Lulu’s big brother, Ouyang Lei, that she opened a restaurant here. Hence I came here to congratulate her while convenient. Master, I know that you’re studying at Shanghai University, but I had no plans of looking for you for fear that I would disturb you. Therefore, it’s kind of unexpected to see you here.”
“All right!” Tang Xiu nodded and looked at the other person.
Jiang Feng was stunned. The relationship between Tang Xiu and Chen Zhizhong made him feel kind of puzzled and confused. After all, Chen Zhizhong’s age was nearly twice that of Tang Xiu’s, yet he was unexpectedly Tang Xiu’s disciple; this fact was quite hard for him to accept.
“Brother Jiang, we are all martial arts practitioners,” said Chen Zhizhong calmly. “I think you should understand the reason why he can become my Master. He’s very powerful, more powerful than I. I feel that even if it is you…”
Jiang Feng interrupted Chen Zhizhong and said with a bitter tone, “Brother Chen, I already know that Mr. Tang is very powerful. I suffered quite a loss to him before.”
“What happened between you two?” Chen Zhizhong slightly surprised and turned to look at Tang Xiu.
“Let’s just say he suffered in the place of someone from his Soaring Dragon Martial School who courted a disaster for him,” said Tang Xiu with a faint tone.
Astute as he was, Chen Zhizhong could understand the meaning in Tang Xiu’s words in an instant. He then smiled, “I see. Then please talk no more. Master, Brother Jiang is actually a very frank and upright man, and he’s also a martial arts grandmaster. It’s just that his Soaring Dragon Martial School kind of have a large number of people, and that inevitably lead to some rotten apples among them.”
Tang Xiu slightly nodded, “One must do what one can do. Nevertheless, uprightness and proper manners won’t be there without proper rules or codes, for only with strict doctrine will we be able to nurture genuine talents.”
With a grateful look, Jiang Feng glanced at Chen Zhizhong. Then, he nodded to Tang Xiu and said, “I will bear these words in my mind, Mr. Tang. As of now, my Soaring Dragon Martial School has only one-fifth of its previous number. Furthermore, I myself have reformed the rules and codes there, and those who dare to violate them will be severely punished.”
