Chapter 1314: Jealousy

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Ren Jianren paid the bill and swaggered out of the Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant. He finally got a consensus with Yang Ming to perform on the same stage. In fact, it was actually a duel.

A duel that could restore the Taekwondo Club’s prestige! Therefore, Ren Jianren must seize this opportunity. This was the only chance for him to come back. If he couldn’t grasp it, he would be completely finished. His own Taekwondo Club would be better off closed, or else, it would be shameful.

Returning to the Taekwondo Club and looking at the empty club facilities, Ren Jianren was filled with emotion. Once upon a time, the Taekwondo Club was overcrowded. Those who wanted to enroll in Taekwondo needed to go through basic exams. Even people who had good connections had to treat them to a meal before entering the Taekwondo Club. Those wonderful times in the past made Ren Jianren clench his teeth!

All of this was thanks to Yang Ming! From an esteemed big Taekwondo Club that was composed of a hundred members, it had shrunk to a small club with only a dozen members. For these dozens of members, besides the club leader such as Li Jiasheng, the rest were their classmates and buddies. No outsiders came to join the Taekwondo Club.

A few days ago, another vice president, Liu Zhaojun, was arrested by the police for committing a crime. The Taekwondo Club was even more empty.

” Ha !” Li Jiasheng was still practicing. The rest of these people were real Taekwondo elites, but even so, the Taekwondo Club was despised by people. If the Taekwondo Club President could not even defeat a freshman student, who would still join in this Taekwondo Club?

Li Jiasheng saw Ren Jianren push the door and come in; he stopped his practice and walked over. “Jianren, how was it?”

“Damn, don’t call me Jianren 1 [1] in the future!” Last time on the stage, Yang Ming kept calling him “bastard” in front of many students, making Ren Jianren embarrassed.

“Well, President Ren, didn’t you look for Yang Ming? How was it? What did this kid say? Does he dare to fight?” Li Jiasheng smiled. He was just pulling a joke. It was troublesome to pronounce the name, Ren Jianren. It would be fine when the name was read out fully. However, once it was spoken separately, it became “bastard.”

“Yang Ming promised it, but he suggested a strange duel.” Ren Jianren nodded and replied.

” Oh ? In what way? As long as we can get revenge, he can propose anything!” Li Jiasheng said after hearing it.

“That’s right. I think so, too.” Ren Jianren nodded. “As long as Yang Ming gave us a chance to duel so that we can reinvigorate the reputation of Taekwondo, it is secondary if he decides what the duel will be.”

“Yeah, but Yang Ming actually agreed. It seemed somewhat unexpected.” Li Jiasheng said, “Initially, I thought he would be hesitant!”

“How can he be so forthright? He only agreed to it after I treated him at the Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant by the university gate. This kid is not willing to suffer any loss.” Ren Jianren did not know Yang Ming had already eaten at the Song Jiang International Hotel just now. Otherwise, he would not say so. He thought that Yang Ming was a person who did not usually eat in restaurants.

” Haha , what is the big deal with a meal? When our Taekwondo Society’s prestige is revitalized, we can collect a lot of registration fees. Selling those training clothes and teaching materials is also big income!” Li Jiasheng smiled. “Also, the most important thing is to be able to attract appropriations from the Student Union. The more members we have, the more appropriations we can get.”

“That’s true. It didn’t cost much for this meal. It took less than a hundred yuan. That kid is easily fooled. He has never seen any big scene.” Ren Jianren sneered.

“Right. You said that for a long time, but you haven’t told me what Yang Ming is going to compete with us. Are you sure we can win?” Li Jiasheng waved his hand and put away his joking attitude.

“Yang Ming wants to have a duel in knife-throwing!” Ren Jianren sat on the side of the rest area, and Li Jiasheng sat next to him. “He wanted to compete with us in knife-throwing.”

“What? Knife-throwing?” Li Jiasheng dropped his jaws widely; he felt somewhat inexplicable. “We practice Taekwondo. How do we know anything about knife-throwing?”

“Cut the crap. If I challenged Yang Ming in Taekwondo, will he agree?” Ren Jianren frowned. “Yang Ming knows nothing about Taekwondo. If I want to have a duel with Yang Ming in Taekwondo, wouldn’t this kid just refuse it!?”

“That’s true.” After Li Jiasheng heard it, he nodded in agreement. “I have forgotten that we can’t really have a duel with Yang Ming in Taekwondo.”

“Yeah, he said during the last semester that he doesn’t know Taekwondo.” Ren Jianren said, “Also if he comes back with kickboxing, that will be bad. In his mind, fighting with his bricks is considered kickboxing too. If he brings along a shovel this time, no matter how good I am, I can’t beat a shovel. I’m not from Shaolin Temple!”

“That’s also true. This kid never goes according to the norm. This knife-throwing is more legitimate than a duel. It seems quite reasonable now.” Li Jiasheng thought about it. What Ren Jianren said made sense. If Yang Ming could come up with the Breaking Brick Technique, what else couldn’t he do?

“So, when I heard him raising the idea of knife-throwing, I agreed.” Ren Jianren said, “The duel goes like this. We both find a partner. Then, we both have an apple on top of each other. We will let the partner shoot the apple with a throwing knife. At the same time, we will compete to see who shot the most apples to determine the victor.”

” Oh ? You want me to be your partner? Do I throw the knife, or do you throw the knife?” Li Jiasheng was not stupid. In this Taekwondo Club, in addition to Ren Jianren, he, Li Jiasheng, was on the top of the list. Another vice president, Liu Zhaojun, was arrested and taken into the police station. The rest of the people did not seem suitable.

“Of course, you will be the one throwing the knife. Didn’t you practice shot put before?” Ren Jianren said, “You are still very accurate in throwing. If you train, you should be fine. I think Yang Ming can’t find a knife-throwing master in a short time. I think that the idea he made today is entirely on the spot.”

“That may not be true. If he hires a knife-throwing master in a short time, what do we do?” Li Jiasheng thought of a very serious problem.

“Are you stupid? This is the art festival organized by the university! The review of the art festival program has stated that the participants must be university students – undergraduate or graduate students. Ph.D. students and even graduates can not participate! Where would Yang Ming find a knife-throwing master?” Ren Jianren snorted and said disdainfully, “If there is such a knife-throwing master in the university, how would we not know about it?”

“That is also true. I have never heard of a knife-throwing master in the university!” Li Jiasheng nodded self-deprecatingly. They were also considered to be martial artists in the school. If there were a knife-throwing master, it was impossible for them not to know! “I think too much. Then, as we practice, we really have the chance of winning.”

“However, are you accurate? You won’t hurt me, right?” After Ren Jianren and Li Jiasheng discussed it, they were worried. Although Li Jiasheng practiced shot put before, and he also threw javelins and the like, after all, knife-throwing was intended for the apple on the head. What if he accidentally injured Ren Jianren?

“Don’t worry. I will find a target to practice with first. I dare not to greet your head with the throwing knife without much confidence! If I send you, the president, into the hospital, wouldn’t our Taekwondo Club be done for!?” said Li Jiasheng.

“That’s good. Then we will start training tomorrow. There are still five days before the art festival. It should be enough, right?” Ren Jianren looked at the date on the phone.

“Enough. It is more than enough!” Li Jiasheng nodded. “This time, I must make a comeback. I’m fed up with the martial arts associations looking down on me. They don’t even look at me in the eye. They also didn’t let the Taekwondo Club participate in the Muay Thai Friendship Competition. Aren’t they looking down on us?”

“Motherf*cker!” Ren Jianren slammed into the rest chair, cursing loudly. “This time, I will make those who look down on us be surprised. I will let them see that our Taekwondo Society is the most powerful.”

So, Li Jiasheng found a target and began to practice knife-throwing. While he practiced the knife-throwing, Ren Jianren also began to practice standing with his head holding up the apple.

Li Jiasheng’s practice was one aspect, but Ren Jianren had to be able to hold the apples. Otherwise, if the apple dropped before Li Jiasheng threw his throwing knife, wouldn’t it be losing time and bring disdainful eyes on themselves?

However, Ren Jianren was a Taekwondo practitioner. His balance and coordination were excellent. Therefore, having an apple on top of his head, he was somewhat unstable at first, but after practicing a few times, he could walk around with the apple.

Similarly, Li Jiasheng’s strength was not weak. He could be the Taekwondo Club vice president because he was also very capable. It was just that Ren Jianren was beaten by Yang Ming, and Li Jiasheng suffered together with him.

However, Li Jiasheng couldn’t blame Ren Jianren. After all, it was he and Liu Zhaojun who brought the hatred. If neither of them beat up Zhang Bing, Yang Ming would not stick up for Zhang Bing and challenge Ren Jianren.

So Li Jiasheng couldn’t blame Ren Jianren, but only blame Yang Ming for being too insidious. With this opportunity, he must take revenge on his hatred. Hence, after Li Jiasheng learned about the subject of the duel, he began practicing knife-throwing overnight. There were only five days left. He must grasp the opportunity to come back.

Li Jiasheng had the foundation of shot put and javelin throwing. The strength of his arm was great, and it was very stable. He only needed to strengthen up his accuracy through training. But even so, Li Jiasheng started practicing that night.

It was apparent that both Ren Jianren and Li Jiasheng put in effort for the duel with Yang Ming in this art festival. At the moment, Yang Ming was practicing until he went to bed with Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun.

…………

Yu Chi, Yang Ming’s Fifth Cousin and also the son of his Fifth Uncle, Yu Laosi, pleaded to Yang Ming’s mother a lot. Yang Ming couldn’t be helped. He had to arrange for Yu Chi to become one of Ming Yang Entertainment’s staff.

However, Yu Chi took advantage of the fact that he was introduced by Yang Ming to Ming Yang Entertainment’s CEO and acted bad*ss in the company. He spread the word everywhere that the CEO personally appointed him into the company. However, many people believed it. They were all respectful to him. Some people even brown-nosed him, but still, some of them didn’t bother with him.

Yu Chi was a prodigal child. How would he have the peace of mind to work in the company? But, Yang Ming appointed him. Hou Zhenhan heard that he was Yang Ming’s Fifth Cousin, so Hou Zhenhan didn’t dare to do anything to him, thinking that Yang Ming was just appointing a relative to get free salary. In the end, Hou Zhenhan didn’t arrange for him to do anything, letting him do what he wanted.

Therefore, Yu Chi acted more proud and arrogant. He was idle all day, like a loafer strolling in the company. He acted as though he were the company leader. He would comment with a few words on everything he saw.

Seeing him like this, Hou Zhenhan didn’t care about him. More and more people in the company believed that Yu Chi had a great backer. Some materialistic girls were pondering if they could seduce Yu Chi to get themselves a rich husband.

Wang Xiaoran was one of them. She felt that she looked pretty good, but in this day and age, an aunty could become a non-mainstream eighteen-year-old with some casual makeup. Hence, Wang Xiaoran was very confident in her appearance after makeup.

In particular, Wang Xiaoran was also great at makeup. She disguised herself as being adorable and cute, so she was the type of woman who would attract a man who saw her at first glance.

Wang Xiaoran’s family wasn’t great, but it wasn’t too bad either. However, she wanted to get a rich husband and marry into a wealthy family since she was a child. She had several boyfriends, all of whom she broke up with after she thought that they had no money.

There was a boyfriend who even progressed to the stage of marriage. Wang Xiaoran met a mature man in a business incidentally. The most important thing was that this man was very rich. After a meal, Wang Xiaoran got along well together with him. She had sex with him that night.

Wang Xiaoran’s boyfriend saw that his fiancée had not yet returned home in the middle of the night. He was very anxious, so he called Wang Xiaoran’s mobile phone. Wang Xiaoran was in the hotel, having an affair with the other man at the moment.

After picking up the phone, Wang Xiaoran even moaned as she did not shy away. She said openly that she had sex with a client in the hotel which stupefied her boyfriend at the time.

Needless to say, the result was naturally that the two people broke up. But the male client had a family. He was just having casual fun with Wang Xiaoran. He simply didn’t have to take her seriously, but he didn’t spend any less money. He bought Wang Xiaoran some LV and several Gucci bags and sunglasses. Then, he bought her a few sets of brand named fashion clothes, and the two broke up.

However, Wang Xiaoran felt that she did not suffer any losses. She merely had sex for a few days without losing anything. While the male client had a great time, she had a great time too. Instead of doing it for free with her boyfriend, it was better to exchange it into actual things.

In these two days, Wang Xiaoran also marked her target on Yu Chi. Although Yu Chi did not have a luxury car, Wang Xiaoran took a fancy to Yu Chi’s potential! Yu Chi didn’t have anything else; he was only capable of boasting about his own background, saying how good his father was with the boss of the group, how rich his family was, and how they even had an aquafarm while, in fact, it was just a fish pond.

Wang Xiaoran was actually not so easily deceived, but Yu Chi was really idle in the company. President Hou Zhenhan also spoke to him really pleasantly which created an illusion for Wang Xiaoran that his background was really amazing. He came here to the company for a learning experience and became special in one day. There would definitely be more important positions waiting for him in the future!

So, Wang Xiaoran began to intentionally or unintentionally go to Yu Chi’s side, but she helplessly realized that Yu Chi did not notice her because he had put all his energy on Jing Xiaolu!

Indeed, among all the young girls in the company, Jing Xiaolu was the best and most beautiful. However, Wang Xiaoran thought she was just a college girl. She didn’t even wear makeup usually. How was Jing Xiaolu better than her?

As for those rumors that Jing Xiaolu had a big backer, Wang Xiaoran didn’t believe it. If there was a big backer, how could the big backer never appear? How could her powerful boyfriend never pick her up from work? Didn’t she take the subway back to the university every time?

Therefore, Wang Xiaoran believed that Jing Xiaolu having a backer was merely a rumor that Jing Xiaolu made up; it was illegitimate.

In fact, this was because the woman was utterly and instinctively jealous. Why did Wang Xiaoran believe Yu Chi when he said that he had a backer while Wang Xiaoran did not believe Jing Xiaolu when she said that she had a backer?

However, Jing Xiaolu seemed to dismiss Yu Chi and ignore him. But the more she did this, the more Yu Chi would approach Jing Xiaolu. Yu Chi helplessly realized that Jing Xiaolu did not even say a word to him other than for work matters.

Seeing that Yu Chi failed again in the face of Jing Xiaolu, a smile crept on Wang Xiaoran’s face, even though she was so angry.  Why? Why are people drawn to Jing Xiaolu, but I’m ignored by Yu Chi?

Wang Xiaoran got angrier the more she thought about it. As she looked at Jing Xiaolu, who was like a proud little princess over there, Wang Xiaoran was pissed off to the point of gritting her teeth!  Hmph, Jing Xiaolu, don’t you say that you have a backer? Then I will discredit you!

As she thought of this, a resentment plan had arisen in Wang Xiaoran’s heart…

Today, as usual, Little Li, who was in the company, logged in to the MP Community. He looked at the posts inside as he was bored. Suddenly, a funny title of a post caught his attention!

“I am willing to use one month of my time to rent a BMW for a week!”

What does this mean? Little Li subconsciously opened the post and saw the post saying:

Dear MP, Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiaolu. I am a college student. I am twenty years old this year. I am a clerk in a big company with a high level of education and have good looks. I sent this post because I want to offer one month of my time in exchange for the right to use a BMW for a week!

Why do I want to do this? Let me talk about the reason. The cause of the incident is this…
