Chapter 47: Disciples of the Bagua Sect
Wang Chao felt as if he was wronged. A simple test of technique had evolved into a situation of a dubious nature. But because of the unbearable pain from being pressed against and Zhu Jia coming into the room the time she did, it made explaining impossible.
“Is Zhu Jia an omen, did I come across some bad luck?” Associating her to the men from the alleyways, Wang Chao began to feel his doubts.
Even Zhang Tong knew that she had lost her composure and quickly stood back up. “The ground was wet and so I slipped by accident. I am Wang Chao’s friend in business. I am the Southern China marketing chairman Zhang Tong of the Chinese branch of Chanel. What’s your name?” She befitted being called a person of the business industry. In a moment, she had covered up her accidental loss of control and resumed a professional air.
“She is the TV anchor of C City’s TV station and my friend.” Wang Chao gently moved his body after Zhang Tong lifted herself off his body. With a sigh of relief, he introduced her without skipping a beat.
“Zhang Tong? You are Zhang Tong?” Zhu Jia started as if she recognized her. “The TV station’s Fortune Column has made a report on you.”
Inwardly to herself, she thought, “I’ve heard Zhang Tong’s personal life was rather average and was quite fascinated with Wushu. She herself is an expert at Taekwondo, so she must have met Wang Chao at the dojo. But how did they become acquainted? Wang Chao isn’t the type of person to do something like this, so did I misunderstand the situation, or am I going blind?”
“Oh hello then, I am a VIP customer of your Chanel brand. Every week I have to use one of your products.” Zhu Jia retained a professional air as a news reporter while also maintaining a look of interest towards Zhang Tong’s identity.
“Ah, our branch office recently got the latest French spring fashion clothes from the most recent exhibition. It’s well suited for business women, would you like to take a look later?” Zhang Tong resumed her business talk.
The two girls had almost forgotten about Wang Chao’s existence as they began to chat about what was the latest fashion, perfume, cleansers, skin care products, nursing, hairstyles, and many other things without end.
For 10 minutes, Wang Chao had made no move to say something and had only thought about wanting to sleep. At one point, he had given a long yawn, startling both women who had been talking enthusiastically. Turning to look at him, they both gave each other a small smile.
“Alright, I still have some matters to take care of within the office. Come to my company next week, this is a diamond membership card, any of the secretaries will take favorably to you then.” After several minutes of talking, Zhang Tong had already all the information she needed. Knowing that Zhu Jia had potential, she set out the lure for a large return later down the line.
Wang Chao could only click his tongue as he thought, “Zhang Tong saw the long hidden potential waiting to be tapped in her. By putting in the time, she can reel in the big fish. However, I can’t blame her, she has helped me a lot, and a business deal like this should be a courtesy gift. Otherwise, I would feel bad if I didn’t. I just hope that whatever Zhang Tong wants me to do won’t be too troublesome.”
Wang Chao then suddenly felt as if he was caught in a net of emotions.
“Tai Zidan and Jing Ke, Tai Zidan and Jingke….” Wang Chao’s mind flashed to the classics regarding these two.
TL Note:
“What are you thinking about now?” After Zhang Tong had left, Zhu Jia looked at the injured Wang Chao with surprise.
Retelling the story, Wang Chao spoke of how he was blocked in the alley, then cut at, stabbed through the eyes and throats of people with a bamboo spear and even slashing someone through the throat with an axe. Hearing this, Zhu Jia gasped again and again as sweat began to form on her forehead.
