Chapter 140 Zhang Situ (2/2)

”It's not easy to start from the bottom. How's your fighting skill?”

”I was a disciple in the Shaolin Temple. I learned from Zhijue, a monk honored by many.”

”Really?” Xiao Bing smiled. ”Can you perform a Shaolin fist movement?”

Zhang Situ said ”yes” and the room was big enough for him. His performance seemed to be formidable but also reserved. He did not even pant after he finished. ”It's just a trick with nearly no use.”

Xiao Bing sized Zhang Situ up and suddenly a hint of light flashed in his eyes. ”Why are you willing to be a mere a vice-captain? You are more than capable of being a captain. Is that Shao Wuyou better than you?”

Zhang Situ replied sternly, ”Though he has studied kung fu, I can beat three men like him on my own.”

He was not boasting. Xiao Bing found that though this vice-captain did not acquire the essence of the martial arts of Shaolin Temple, his external kung fu was extremely skilled. He was almost at the peak of the Bone Refining Stage, which was just a step away from the Clear Strength Stage. His might already made him more than capable of being a captain of the guards. However, it was still very difficult for him to break through the thresholds.

Xiao Bing asked, ”Then why didn't you try to overthrow Shao Wuyou?”

”Because he has someone high up in the company, and I don't want him to feel that I'm a threat. So I didn't dare to show them what I'm really capable of. The Ye Group's payment is rather high. The salary of a vice-captain is much higher than that of a bodyguard. I just want to work longer and make more money.”

Xiao Bing asked again, ”Then why did you show it to us?”

”Because it's about damn time,” said Zhang Situ. ”Now little Missy runs the company and she has a conflict with the board members right after she sat on that chair. As a member of the company, I can only choose one side. If I choose the board members, I will still be a vice-captain if they succeed. If I choose the little Missy, I believe that she will treat me fairly since my boss has just sent her a threat.”

”You're sure that I'll win?” questioned Yezi.

Zhang Situ smiled. ”I have to take that risk. You own the majority share of the company. If you lose, then the company probably will collapse. I'll get nothing if I stand on the board members' side. And I love this company. So I hope you can win.”

”Good.” Yezi sounded satisfied. ”Now you are the captain of security. But you will be more than a captain in the days to come.”

Zhang Situ seemed to have expected that Yezi would say these words. There was not much delight on his face. He just said calmly, ”Thank you.”

There was appreciation in Xiao Bing's eyes because he found this man capable, smart, and decent, which was something he had never expected. He slowly approached Zhang Situ with his cane. Then he looked into Zhang Situ's eyes and said, ”Punch me.”

Upon hearing Xiao Bing, who needed a cane to walk, telling him to punch him, Zhang Situ gasped for a moment.

Xiao Bing said again, ”Punch me hard!”

Zhang Situ no longer hesitated and suddenly punched Xiao Bing's shoulder. But Xiao Bing's shoulder only trembled a little. Zhang Situ felt like his fist had hit a ball of cotton. Shocked, Zhang Situ raised his head and looked at Xiao Bing, who was still smiling. ”Mr. Xiao, you're in the... Concealing Strength Stage?”

Even if Xiao Bing were in the Clear Strength Stage, he had to take the hit with his body. But Xiao Bing resolved Zhang Situ's strike so easily and naturally. How could he not be in the Concealing Strength Stage?

Xiao Bing did not answer that question. ”You're good, but still a long way from The Clear Strength Stage. It's not easy to break the threshold. Do you want to break it? I can help you with it if you do me a favor.”

Zhang Situ straightened his body and the eagerness in his eyes was quite conspicuous. No one who cultivated martial arts wanted to be blocked by a threshold forever. If he declared that he was a master of the Bone Refining Stage, numerous companies would compete fiercely to hire him as the captain of security. But his strength was still much less than that in the Clear Strength Stage.

Though he craved it, he was still careful upon hearing Xiao Bing's words. ”May I know the details of the favor, Mr. Xiao? I will try my best to complete it. But if is beyond my ability...” said Zhang Situ with prudence.

Xiao Bing was quite satisfied with his prudence as well. ”First, there needs to be an adjustment in the security department. I want everyone to obey the rules and you can fire anyone who misbehaves. I want it to be done before you're off work today. Is that a problem?”

It was not an easy task for normal people. But Zhang Situ accepted it without hesitation. ”No problem.”

Xiao Bing nodded his head. It seemed that this Zhang Situ was truly a capable man. So he continued, ”Tomorrow, I want you to do something for me with several skillful men of yours...”

Zhang Situ's heart thumped hard for a second when he heard what the thing was. He was surprised by Xiao Bing's cruelty. But since he was already on Yezi's side, he replied directly, ”I will always be at Mr. Xiao's and little Missy's service from now on. Though it is a difficult task, I believe that I won't fail you!”

Mr. Xiao smiled. ”Good. You can leave to do those things I told you. After you have done them all, I'll tell you how to step into the Clear Strength Stage.”

After Zhang Situ left, Ye Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Bing worriedly. ”Brother Bing, are you sure that it's okay?”

”Of course it's okay... Someone has to be taught a lesson.”
