Finished eating.

Fei Baoshu cleaned up the mess and went to the bathroom to run the bath water.

Xian Yaowen played with the two little girls for a while, and after Fei Baoshu prepared the bath water, he handed the girls over to Fei Baoshu.

After a busy schedule, it was nine o'clock before the two of them had time to sit quietly in the bathtub.

Xian Yaowen filled his hands with shower gel and rubbed it on Fei Baoshu's small shoulders. He passed by her neck and rubbed it twice, then moved down and let his fingertips brush across her breasts.

"Well... Master, I missed you so much."

"Does it come from your mind or your body?"

"I want both."

Xian Yaowen put his hands on Fei Baoshu's back and rubbed it gently. At the age of early forties, Fei Baoshu's skin could no longer be described as delicate as a baby's, but it was well maintained. It was fair and smooth, without any tumors or acne, and no moles were visible.

When every inch of his back was covered with shower gel, Xian Yaowen rested his head on Fei Baoshu's small shoulder and whispered, "Xiaobao, I am now full of curiosity about fifty-year-old women. I can't wait for you to grow up to that age."

Fei Baoshu turned back and said coquettishly, "Master, what do you want?"

"Find one."

"At fifty, you're already a grandmother. Aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself?"

"Being a grandmother is not enough, being a grandma is better."

"Just do whatever you want."

"hehe."

The night was still long, and there was no need to rush about some things. After taking a proper shower, the two began to chat seriously.

"Xiaobao, what do you think of Yueyu's performance?"

"I think it's great, and the headquarters is also very satisfied with her performance. The invitations to the press conference have been sent out. Well-known French designers, movie stars, and reporters from several major newspapers will attend the press conference. People from the United States will also arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and a welcoming party will be held the day after tomorrow evening."

"The people from the United States were invited through the relationship between the Flower Society and Mr. Guino. Generally speaking, it's the Flower Society's reputation. Clay Simpson will come with you. You should contact him and organize the welcoming banquet well. Don't cause any trouble."

"Master is not attending?"

"No, let your International Department handle the on-site matters. You don't have to tell Hodge McGee that I've arrived in Paris. According to normal procedures, he only needs to report to Donald."

"Master is just going to watch and not interfere with the work?"

"Yes, the plan has been prepared for almost a year, and I have completed most of the work. If I have to take the final step myself, there is no need for Juliet Brand Management to exist. With such a large monthly expense, I am almost suffocating."

Fei Baoshu gently rubbed Xian Yaowen's temple. "The company is doing very well. Goodluck's stores have made 2300 million francs this month. There will be no problem making 5000 million by the end of the month."

“It’s good news that we’ve finally reached the 5000 million mark, but it’s not enough. Our goal this year is 3 million. If we can’t achieve this, Goodluck’s brand effect won’t be able to radiate outwards, and our European expansion plans will have to be executed at a snail’s pace.”

"The International Department has already approved the project of building a flagship store in Rome. Director McKee was originally going to send me to Rome for inspection, but he let someone else go when he knew I was about to leave."

"If he really sends you, his position as director will be over. What can you find out by investigating?"

"Master, do you think so little of me?"

"I'm not looking down on you. It's just that you're not familiar with the Italian fashion world. What can you learn from the past? Flagship store projects must be adapted to local conditions. The flagship store in Rome must have Italians involved. Otherwise, it would be nonsense."

"Director McGee is not kidding. Last month, a few Italian colleagues joined the office here in Paris."

"Ah."

Xian Yaowen knew everything about Juliet's brand management. Hodge McGee was actually very competent, but she was at a loss when it came to Fei Baoshu, because she was one of the bosses.

Originally, Fei Baoshu's symbolic significance is greater than his work significance. With the boss lady watching over them, the employees will not let themselves go.

Tseng Pei-pei played a similar role in New York. The two of them helped him survive the vacuum period when he was away. When he participated in the management, he could calmly formulate operating mechanisms, or set rules. With rules, each position is responsible for the rules, and tend to achieve the same effect whether the boss is there or not.

After soaking in the bathtub for nearly an hour, the two went into the bedroom to comfort each other.

It had been a while since they last saw each other, and Fei Baoshu was aroused and became extremely wild. Perhaps it was because she felt safe knowing that there was someone guarding the door, so she didn't hear Sun Shucheng coming back, nor did she hear Sun Shucheng standing at the bedroom door for a while.

Having achieved both psychological and physical satisfaction, she fell into a deep sleep.

Xian Yaowen pulled his hand out from under her head, got out of bed, opened the bedroom door, went to the living room, and sat on the single sofa opposite Sun Shucheng.

Sun Shucheng was drinking. On the coffee table there was a bottle of last year's Lafite and a bottle of last year's Louis XIII, a limited edition of 768 bottles, but only the bottles were special; the wine inside was Napoleon.

The joke that Xian Yaowen told Liu Rongjiu in the Rezi Garden came true. Of course, he just had a bad taste and had no interest in faking it.

Back then, the old man seized the opportunity of Lafite and created a cool trend, which made a lot of money for the old-fashioned people in Asia. It seemed to be a good project, but a lot of energy was invested in it. Rather than treating it as a career, it is better to say that the old man’s bad taste was satisfied.

To make red wine, there is no need to go through the trouble of building a brand. You can just buy some cheap table wines in Europe that are as important as cooking wines. The labels have a bunch of foreign words on them and come with customs certificates. The cost is less than 0.7 Euros and you can sell them for several hundred RMB a bottle. Buyers will say that the brand is good and will even pretend to be crazy fans, boasting that the brand is the designated brand for banquets of the British royal family and the Rothschild family, the richest family in the world.

It was obviously money that he could pick up by bending down, but the old man used too much force.

Xian Yaowen thought about this and reminded himself to write it down when he was free, so that he could leave it to his son or grandson to give to his adopted son, and then give the adopted son to his poor relatives, who could use the information to hook up with gold-diggers. In this way, an inspirational story was born - a woman must be independent, and the growth process of a female president of a wine brand with an annual income of 1 billion.

When his mind was full of wild imagination, Sun Shucheng drank half a glass of brandy, and then he realized why he was here.

He snatched the cup from Sun Shucheng's hand, poured the wine in the cup into his own stomach, slammed the cup on the coffee table, and said to Sun Shucheng: "If you make trouble again, I will give you a few slaps in the face."

Sun Shucheng stiffened his neck and said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and hit me."

"Nothing happened before I came, but as soon as I came, you started to feel miserable. Who are you pretending for? Me? Or yourself?" Xian Yaowen pointed at Sun Shucheng and said, "Do you think this is love? It's not at all. Your self-esteem is getting the better of you. You're obviously afraid of causing a fire, but you still want to play with fire.

You are unwilling to take what you think is a difficult step but get no response.

What response do you want me to give?
Now I strip you naked and have sex with you, and then Baoshu sees you, and you proudly say to her, 'Mom, I stole your man. '"

Xian Yaowen stood up and walked forward, covering Sun Shucheng's mouth with one hand, and with the other hand carrying her like a chicken towards the guest room.

As soon as the door was locked, he threw the man onto the bed, picked up the book on the bedside table, and started spanking him on the butt.

"I'll let you make a scene."

clap clap!

"I made you ignorant."

clap clap!

One after another, Xian Yaowen controlled the force very well between corporal punishment and flirting, neither hurting Sun Shucheng nor causing her to misunderstand.

"Xian Yaowen!"

"Why do you hit me?"

"I'm giving you face. Tomorrow I'll make you kneel down and serve tea to me and call me daddy."

"You... bastard."

Pah pah~ pah pah pah…

As Sun Shucheng was stubborn, Xian Yaowen hardened his heart and increased his force, beating him hard.

"You son of a bitch, it hurts...be gentle, be gentle."

Xian Yaowen put the book aside, pointed at Sun Shucheng and said, "I'm telling you, don't make trouble again. The matter has already passed. If you keep making trouble, the nature of the matter will change."

Sun Shucheng touched his butt and said stubbornly, "Who is making trouble? I don't have any feelings for you anymore. There is a French rich man pursuing me. He comes to the cafe to see me every day and invites me to dinner and the opera."

"Rich man, who is that?"

"Dubonnet."

"Which Dubonnet?"

"Dubonnet of Dubonnet."

"Andre Dubonnet?"

"That's him." Sun Shucheng pretended to be arrogant and said, "Is he richer than you?"

"I don't know how much money he has. I only know that he is almost three years older than me. I also know that he can't possibly marry you. If you just want to have fun, I won't stop you from dating him. If you want to get married, you'd better stay away from him. If you want to get involved, you can only be his mistress at best."

Xian Yaowen bent down, put his face close to Sun Shucheng's, and said softly: "Whether you recognize it or not, my identity is your father. Don't make trouble between us anymore. If you want to find a marriage partner, you need my consent.

You are not a little girl anymore. You have been married once. Don’t take your marriage lightly.”

Sun Shucheng said timidly, "I can do whatever I want, what's it to you?"

Xian Yaowen said calmly: "Some people are particularly brave only when they think they are in a safe environment. They uphold justice, are not afraid of power, speak up for the weak, and criticize the powerful with passion.

Once the environment is no longer safe, the powerful will learn to slap others in the face. Their courage will disappear in an instant. They may flatter and praise the powerful without principles, or turn a deaf ear and dumb to protect themselves, or jump into the lake or hang themselves to maintain their self-proclaimed innocence.

The people I'm talking about are you, and the power is me. I will defend to the death your right to disagree with me, and please stay rational and don't bury your hard-earned rights.

You have finally lived to old age, and your filial son has celebrated your 60th birthday, but you are not entitled to sit down and eat, and can only eat in the kitchen.

It’s not to compare you with less fortunate people, but to teach you to cherish.

That’s all I have to say. If you make trouble again, I will try to communicate with you in a different way. I hope you won’t regret it.”

As he spoke, Xian Yaowen walked to the door, turned around, said good night, and then walked out of the room.

As the door closed gently, Sun Shucheng, who was stuck in a dead end, began to sort out her confused thoughts. She wanted to know if she was really wrong.

……

St Paul's School, Auditorium.

A radio was placed on a stand on the stage. Several students were either squatting on the stage or standing on the edge of the stage, listening to the radio broadcast with their ears perked up.

"Cha-Cha, Chilly Cha Cha~"

“Cha-Cha, a dance originated in Mexico and Cuba, evolved from Mambo, and is the most popular dance in American ballrooms.

Cha Cha was discovered by our jazz queen Rebecca Pan, who loved this dance and created a song called "Chilly Cha Cha" for it. Please enjoy the song "Chilly Cha Cha" by jazz queen Rebecca Pan below. "

"Baila chilly cha cha cha baila chilly cha, Dance your chilly dance your cha cha baila chilly cha cha, Dance so feel your body hot you got another shot..."

"Rebecca sings beautifully."

"How can it be famous in Myricken if it doesn't sound good? That's Myricken."

"Rebecca, very good, she is also very famous in the UK."

"The song is so well written, it's full of South American style, making you feel like you're walking on the coast of the Caribbean Sea."

"Les, have you ever been to the Caribbean?"

"Galiya, as if, Understand?"

"Hearing this song makes me yearn for South America. I really want to go there and take a look. Hillary, can you dance the cha-cha?"

"I can."

"Really?"

"uh-huh."

Swish, swish, swish, everyone's eyes were focused on Hillary, also known as Xian Yuzhen.

"Hillary, dance for us," said the boy named Les.

Jia Liya: "Hillary, come on."

"It's a duet dance, it won't look good if you dance it alone."

"Hilary, it's okay, show it to us quickly, hurry up, the music is about to end."

"Ok."

Xian Yuzhen walked out of the crowd and danced to the rhythm of the music, the part of the cha-cha that was suitable for solo dance.

She first took a time step, with her left foot as the center of gravity, and her right foot gently opened, as if she was setting sail gracefully. She retracted her right foot to the side of her left foot like a nimble swallow, with the sole of her foot touching the ground, and her center of gravity quickly shifted to the entire sole of her foot, her waist and hips twisted slightly, as if she contained endless energy.

Step lightly with your left foot, land on the sole of your foot, shift your center of gravity to the sole of your foot, and sway your upper body. Then, step forward with your right foot, with steady steps, as if you are taking a firm step.

The left foot quickly moves to the right foot, with the entire sole of the foot touching the ground, and the hips swing naturally, showing the compactness and agility unique to cha-cha dance.

Next comes the intoxicating Cuban break step, where the left foot steps forward diagonally, toes turn outward, center of gravity cleverly distributed between the two feet, right knee close to the left foot, like lovers cuddling each other.

At this time, the right heel is off the ground, and the body slightly turns around, which contains a unique rhythmic beauty. The right foot changes the center of gravity on the spot, and the body maintains balance, like a green bamboo standing upright in the wind. The left foot is gracefully retracted, like a dancing elf.

As soon as the music ended, a classmate shouted, "Hilary, great, you danced so well, you must teach us."

Other students echoed this.

Xian Yuzhen pinched the hem of her white school uniform cheongsam and performed a generous thank you on stage.

Her best friend Jenny Zhou Yanni came to her and said with a smile: "Yuzhen, you dance so beautifully, you must teach me."

A large proportion of the teachers at St. Paul's School are British. The students are mainly Chinese, followed by British, Americans, Italians, French, Portuguese, and Indians. Most of the foreigners traveling in Hong Kong send their children here to study.

This is a school where English is the main medium of instruction. In order to facilitate communication, no matter where you are from, you need to have an English name.

Xian Yuzhen smiled at Zhou Yanni, then clapped her hands and said to the other students, "Everyone, starting from tomorrow after school, I will teach you how to dance the cha-cha. It will only be half an hour a day, and no one will be accepted after the time is up."

"Hillary, half an hour is too short. Why can't it be one hour?" said Jialiya.

"Jialiya, no, you know I'm very busy."

Jia Liya spread her hands and said, "I know, I know, today is Wednesday, and you have to learn French."

"No, my schedule has changed. I'm going to learn Spanish starting today."

"Spanish? Are you done with your French studies?"

"No, my schedule has increased." Xian Yuzhen held Jia Liya's hand, "Are you going to Fanling this weekend morning?"

"Of course, I lost to you last week, so I must beat you this weekend."

"Ha, I can give you a hole."

"Thank you, no thanks, just buy me a soda."

"Okay, let's go under the banyan tree now." Xian Yuzhen waved to Zhou Yanni, and then the three of them held hands and went to the welfare club under the banyan tree together.

Xian Yaowen registered Carrefour in France and invested in Leclerc, the future second largest retailer. Major Williams, general manager of People's Convenience Store, and Luo Tingke, deputy manager, opened People's Convenience Store stores in Singapore.

Gao Yanru focuses her main energy on the People's Supermarket, while also taking into account the development of the welfare club. A week ago, the first store under the banyan tree opened at the entrance of the São Paulo Center.

The reason why the first store was opened here has little to do with Xian Yuzhen. It is mainly because the people here are of mixed races, a group that is more difficult to please in Hong Kong schools. The problems that will be encountered will include most of the problems of the welfare club. This place will become a small station under the banyan tree and a place to train new recruits.

Xian Yuzhen and the other two walked out of the school gate, turned right, and after a few steps they arrived at the gate under the banyan tree.

There is a simple sketch of a banyan tree on the doorhead of Under the Banyan Tree, and under the tree is an abstract storefront of Under the Banyan Tree; on the right side of the painting are three large cartoon-style characters "Under the Banyan Tree", and below the characters is the English words "UTBT—Under the Banyan Tree" in the same cartoon style.

There is a tree stump-shaped table at the entrance of the store. There is a hole in the middle, holding up a parasol with a banyan tree pattern on it, and four stools in the same tree stump shape are placed around it.

Three people walked into the store, passed the counter with banyan tree-shaped dishes, walked through the shelves, and went straight to the refrigerator. They opened the refrigerator, each of them took a bottle of soda, picked up the bottle opener tied to the refrigerator, opened the bottle cap, threw the bottle cap into the banyan tree-shaped trash can, and then took a straw from the banyan tree-shaped straw bucket nailed to the refrigerator, inserted it into the bottle mouth, and each of them took a sip of soda.

Zhou Yanni opened her mouth, exhaled a breath of cool air, and said in a refreshed mood: "I don't know why, but I always feel that the soda under the banyan tree tastes better."

Jia Liya said: "Because of the temperature, the soda here is frozen to the most suitable drinking temperature."

"Jia Liya, how did you know?" Zhou Yanni asked curiously.

"My grandfather runs a wine estate in Bordeaux. Grape planting and wine brewing are inseparable from the precise control of temperature." Jia Liya shrugged. "I go to my grandfather's place every summer vacation. Hillary, Jenny, are you interested in going with me this summer vacation?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yanni showed a trace of difficulty on her face. Although her family was not short of money, both the financial situation and family rules would not allow her to go to France alone.

Xian Yuzhen knew about Zhou Yanni's family situation. She said, "Jia Liya, this summer vacation may not be possible. I will go to a film company to do odd jobs for a month, and then go to Singapore."

“Traveling to Singapore?”

"No, my uncle has a small farm there, and I want to go over and help."

"Ha." Jia Liya laughed and said, "Can you hire a few workers to help you with the money for your round-trip air tickets?"

Xian Yuzhen said with a smile: "Helping has nothing to do with the plane ticket. Jenny, do you want to do some odd jobs with me?"

Zhou Yanni hesitated and said, "I don't think my mother would agree."

"You can ask. If you don't agree, forget it. The holiday villa my eldest brother gave me will be ready for occupancy before the summer vacation. It has a swimming pool, so you can go swimming there."

Zhou Yanni enviously said, "Your elder brother is so good to you. My elder brother is reluctant to give me pocket money."

"Hilary, where is your vacation villa?" asked Galaya.

"Violet Hill."

"Which way? Wong Nai Chung or Repulse Bay?"

"Repulse Bay."

"Close to my house?"

"It's very close. I can see your house from the balcony."

Jia Liya said happily: "That's great, you have to keep a room for me."

"no problem."

The three of them chatted, drank up their soda, and went to the counter to pay.

Xian Yuzhen paid the bill, and she generously treated the two of them to a meal cooked by the banyan tree.

The stewed grilled tofu (stewed dengaku) ​​of the Kanto people is called Oden by the Kansai people. It is currently only popular in a small area of ​​Japan. Not to mention going beyond Japan, it still has a long way to go before it can dominate the whole country.

I'm sorry for that. It was already recorded in the Yongle Encyclopedia that banyan tree cooking was invented by Xian Po who lived under a banyan tree. It has a history of hundreds of years. It is said that the Japanese pirates harassed the coastal areas at that time, and their real purpose was to steal the secret recipe of banyan tree cooking.

Students get hungry quickly and have a greedy mouth, so the Yirongshu cooked and Errongshu grilled sausages are placed at the checkout counter, so students can easily buy one when checking out.

With a banyan tree boil in her mouth, Xian Yuzhen took out her wallet from her pocket, pulled out the Banyan Tree Card, a fake credit card jointly issued by Sky Traveler's subsidiary Hong Kong Express and People's Retail, and handed it to the cashier.

The cashier took the card and said with a smile, "My friend, your total purchase was 1 cents. Banyan Tree Cards are 2% off, so your actual purchase is 1 cents."

As she spoke, she inserted the banyan tree card into the gap of a machine, pressed it twice, and then pulled the card out. A few small holes appeared on the card.

When they finished paying and walked out of the banyan tree, Jia Liya asked, "Hilary, do I need to pay a membership fee to get a Banyan Tree card?"

"No, but we can't do it as minors. If you want to do it, you have to ask your uncle to do it. My second brother helped me to do this."

"It's so troublesome. Is there any other place to use it besides under the banyan tree?"

"There aren't many places where you can use the Banyan Card right now. You can wait until there are more places where you can use it before applying for one." Xian Yuzhen raised the Banyan Card in her hand. "I think this card is pretty good. When there are more places where you can use it, you won't have to carry a lot of change with you."

The three of them were chatting and slowly walking towards the parking place. On the way, they met a boy pushing a brand new 28-inch flatbed car. The boy's eyes were glued to Xian Yuzhen until Xian Yuzhen got into the car and his eyeballs were scratched off by the car door.

A gentleman dreams of a beautiful lady. Xian Yuzhen had a good foundation to begin with, and after a period of pampered care, she grew into a graceful lady. It was not surprising that there were a few flies around her.

只不过上一只以欺负表达爱慕之情的苍蝇被她收拾了之后，其他苍蝇便不敢靠得太近，被女孩子揍了可是很丢人的事。

The three cars drove together for a while, and then Xian Yuzhen's car drove into Gloucester Road and stopped at the entrance of Baozhilin.

She got off the car and walked into the museum, greeting a man at the counter, "Brother Tian."

"Junior Sister Xian, you are here."

"coming."

Xian Yuzhen crawled under a baffle and went inside the counter. She glanced at the mulberry paper on the counter and said, "Brother Tian, ​​do you want to get the Dharma medicine wash recipe?"

"Yes, you help me grab the ground bone skin."

"Ok."

Xian Yuzhen faced the cabinet, opened a drawer, and looked at the Rehmannia root bark in the drawer. She breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her fingers, and then reached into the drawer and grabbed a handful of Rehmannia root bark in her hand.

She felt the weight was not right, less than one or two ounces. She shook her head, put down the ground bone bark, and grabbed another handful. It was still not right, so she continued.

After repeating this over and over again, Senior Brother Tian next to him couldn't stand it anymore. "Junior Sister Xian, this is not how you practice picking herbs. Each herb has a different density. Only when you are familiar with each herb can you pick each one accurately like me."

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of snake bed and placed it on the scale pan. He moved the weight to one penny, so that the beam was level with the ground, with neither end tilted up.

"Saw?"

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​you are so awesome, but..." Xian Yuzhen hesitated to speak.

"Just what?"

Xian Yuzhen said with a smile: "It's just that it's strange for a Chinese medicine practitioner like you, Senior Brother Tian, ​​to talk about density."

Senior Brother Tian frowned and said, "Yuzhen, listen carefully. Traditional Chinese medicine will not die because of fools abolishing it, but it will die because of people who stick to their old ways. If it is a good thing, you must absorb and learn from it."

Xian Yuzhen bowed to Senior Brother Tian with a serious face, "Senior Brother Tian, ​​Yuzhen is grateful for your teachings."

"Get the medicine."

"Yes."

Xian Yuzhen then proceeded to prepare the medicine, getting familiar with the control of weight while recognizing the medicinal materials.

Under Wong Fei-hung, Po Chi Lam was renowned for its treatment of bone fractures and had quite a few miraculous prescriptions for them, but nowadays its best-selling ones are a few medicinal wash recipes, which are "nourishing" medicines prepared by poor martial artists in Hong Kong who are able to scrape together money from their teeth.

The medicine wash formula starts with two pieces of medicine, which is just suitable for Xian Yuzhen to practice at this stage.

Xian Yuzhen spent more than an hour picking medicinal herbs, had dinner in the restaurant, and then learned Mo family boxing from Mo Guilan.

Xian Yaowen brought tangible benefits to Bao Zhilin from the movie licensing fees and the large investments in health-preserving recipes. Xian Yuzhen was well-behaved, hard-working, and a good material for practicing martial arts. All these factors made Mo Guilan like this female apprentice who came to her with skills very much, and she taught her carefully.

"As long as you don't die from learning, learn until you die." This is Xian Yuzhen's motto, which comes from Xian Yaowen's expectations and teachings for her.

She remembered what Xian Yaowen said about the six arts of a gentleman, the aristocratic education thought, and that only those who are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor skills are qualified to be successors. From ancient times to the present, only the best are qualified to talk about succession, and mediocre people are only qualified to join the chorus to make the singing more mellow, or to learn from Xianglin Sao's self-pitying cry: "Who to take over, who to take over, who to take over?"

She also remembered Xian Yaowen's analysis of the character "财". The character "财" has been composed of the character "贝" on the left and "才" on the right since the small seal script period. "贝" means money. Only if you have talent can you have "贝", and only if you have "贝" can you show your talent.

Destiny is unpredictable, and only those with virtue can prevail. The five elements counteract each other, and only those without talent can be in vain.

Her own summary is that "talent is the root of everything". If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. It is not easy to come to this world, and she is not willing to be mediocre. Her life should be magnificent and colorful.

So, she is willing to work hard for it.

After leaving Po Chi Lam and returning to Sham Shui Po, she went up to the rooftop of an old building and learned Inch Fist from her senior brother.

Ip Man is living a happy life now. When there is something to do, his disciples respect his elders and his disciples help teach him kung fu. He only needs to sit in the corner drinking tea and smoking, occasionally standing up and giving a few instructions to show his presence and to demonstrate the necessity and justice of collecting tuition fees.

His life was so wonderful thanks to a private disciple, Xian Yuzhen.

In Hong Kong's martial arts schools, you can learn by paying money. These disciples are called disciples of Taoism, which is equivalent to students in training classes, that is, the bosses who pay money. If you don't want to learn anymore, you can just leave. If you think the master doesn't teach well, you can just point at your nose and scold him.

The next level up is the entry-level disciple, who formally becomes a disciple and abides by the sect's rules. He or she can say to others that he or she is a disciple of someone, but still has to pay tuition.

On a deeper level, for disciples, the master is both a teacher and a father. The master will teach the disciples his most hidden skills and does not charge tuition fees. The disciples can either help with work and be paid by the master, or they can be from wealthy families. Since they are the fathers, it is only natural for them to support their fathers.

The so-called private disciples are those who have bought the status of a disciple with money, which is similar to hiring a tutor at a high price. If students want to learn, they can pay the tutor well, and they also have the status of master and apprentice, but the obligations that the disciple should fulfill to the master can be replaced by money.

Of course, this is true in theory, but in reality, money and gifts are equally important. If the occasion is not done well, it is easy to be criticized.

The privately taught disciples paid hundreds of dollars in tuition every month, and would bring good things every now and then, including cigarettes, tea, alcohol, good ingredients, silks and satins. They almost had everything. Life should have been wonderful, and in fact it was, but Ip Man had a problem.

The worry was the position of chairman of the Wushu Championship Preparatory Committee. He had never thought that it would be so difficult to do something. The Wushu Championship was a great project that would bring both fame and fortune. However, when he contacted his peers, not many people gave him face. The Preparatory Committee remained at the stage of preparing the "Preparatory Committee". To put it bluntly, the matter was a failure.

Xian Yaowen didn't ask, and he was too embarrassed to say it. He thought Xian Yaowen already knew the truth, so it would be awkward, so he simply didn't mention it. The matter was put aside, but every time he saw Xian Yuzhen, he would think of it, and he felt uncomfortable.

Xian Yaowen naturally knew what was going on. They lived next door to each other, but they never met by chance. Was he trying to avoid her or something?
He didn't really care that Ip Man wasn't effective. He wasn't determined to win at the beginning. Although he didn't give up on his plan for the martial arts championship, he had adjusted the overall plan. The emergence of the octagonal cage and the change in the development strategy of Dragon Dao were all part of the plan adjustment.

As for why they didn't talk to Ip Man about it, it was just to embarrass this old guy so that he could make some excessive demands when needed in the future.

Well, the identity of a private teaching disciple should be difficult to obtain. Having money is only a prerequisite. One has to first observe as a disciple for a year or two and go through all the necessary procedures. However, Xian Yuzhen managed to get the identity right every time. This is the benefit of being shy.

Xian Yuzhen was unaware of all this. She was practicing Wing Chun's unique training method, "Sticky Hands", with her fellow brothers. Both long and short bridges had to be practiced, especially the short bridge, because the distance was short and so one had to rely more on perceptual reaction.

But when practicing sticky hands, both parties must understand it and be equally matched. Otherwise, victory or defeat will be decided by just one move, and there will be little point in practicing.

Due to the burden of life and work, even if the disciples have spare money to learn Kung Fu, they can't spare much time to learn boxing. It's good enough to go to the martial arts school one or two days a week. Therefore, it takes two or three months for the disciples to learn the first set of boxing. From single sticking hand to double sticking hand, it takes at least one year or even longer.

This created a good opportunity for Xian Yuzhen, a Hong Kong dollar player. Although it was difficult for her senior brothers to find equally matched sparring partners, she could pay a fee to ask a senior brother to practice with her on a certain day.

Of course, the way to spend money is not too naked and direct, but a roundabout way. For example, the brother who pulls the rickshaw can book the rickshaw for next day and accompany her to practice tonight. Another example is the delivery guy in the grocery store, it is even simpler, he can convince the grocery store owner by becoming a big customer.

Hong Kong dollar players naturally upgrade quickly. Xian Yuzhen's Wing Chun has made rapid progress and she can soon touch the essence of Inch Punch. (End of this chapter)
