Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 108 Do you have any difficulties? Who will understand me?
"Did Coach Gong Li really come to our Hengyang branch? Where is he—?"

Fang Qiang was surprised when he heard this.

During the time that Zhang Changming led the team for training at the Elite Martial Arts School headquarters, Coach Gong Li gave everyone some pointers on kung fu.

He combines the attack and defense of Sanda with the ferocity of Muay Thai, which is truly unique.

at this time,

Wang Xilie, Ding Wu, Zhang Tao and others were naturally very happy.

Although Zhang Tao did not go to the headquarters for training, he has long admired coach Gong Li.

Zhang Changming smiled and said:
"He's chatting with Lao Wang in the office. He'll be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a few people walking outside the training hall.

Wang Chuxiong walked in front to lead the way, followed by a middle-aged man and several other coaches.

The middle-aged man exuded a very sharp aura, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Although in terms of physique, this middle-aged man is only a middleweight.

But compared to heavyweight boxers, his aura seems much more domineering.

When Chen Jie saw the middle-aged man from afar, he frowned slightly.

His 'Refinement of the Spirit' had broken through to the 'Maintaining Oneness' state, and his senses were extremely sharp.

This person has killed someone!

That’s right, from the aura emanating from this middle-aged man, Chen Jie could feel that this person had been stained with blood!

Only when you have killed someone will you exude a fierce murderous intent.

Chen Jie also had a murderous intent, but after he restrained it, ordinary people could not sense it.

It is clear,
This middle-aged man has fought in underground boxing matches and has killed his opponents in underground boxing matches.

"Brother Li! Haha—you're finally here!"

Zhang Changming walked forward and exchanged a few words of greeting with the middle-aged man.

We are all old acquaintances, so it is inevitable to exchange pleasantries after meeting.

Two minutes later,
The middle-aged man introduced himself to all the students gathered in the training hall:
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Gong Li, and you can call me Brother Li from now on!"

Next, everyone greeted Gong Li with a smile.

have to say,

Although Coach Gong Li looks grim, he exudes an extremely sharp and domineering aura.

but,

He has an easygoing personality and gives off a very welcoming vibe, and is not difficult to get along with.

"Coach Gong! I didn't expect you to actually come to Hengyang. I thought you were joking last time."

Fang Qiang stepped forward and greeted Coach Gong Li.

Gong Li laughed and said, "After I came, your life will be difficult!"

"How's your wrestling skills been recently? Your close combat weakness is too obvious. You need to work on your defense."

"And you, Ding Wu, although you are a welterweight, you have good agility but lack explosive power——!"

Next,
Gong Li talked about the guys who went to the Changsha headquarters for training last time, and his face turned red as he criticized them as if they were his own treasures.

"Alright, everyone, let's go train!"

Zhang Changming gave everyone an order, then turned to Gong Li and said with a smile: "The city's martial arts trials will be held the day after tomorrow. Brother Li, you are the team leader now!"

"I've already put the list of contestants on your desk!"

"This city martial arts selection competition is mainly for the city martial arts association to rank the comprehensive strength of the major martial arts schools in HY City."

"Whether we can achieve excellent results depends on how you arrange it, Brother Li."

"Brother Li, get familiar with the environment and everyone first."

finished,

Zhang Changming signaled to coaches including Wang Chuxiong and Xu Dachi, and everyone left the training hall.

to be frank,
Although Coach Gong Li was sent here by the headquarters to assist in the work of the martial arts school.

However, Wang Chuxiong, Zhang Changming and others felt very uncomfortable.

The headquarters sent people to guide the work, which shows that they are very dissatisfied with the performance of the Hengyang branch!
Don’t think that Gong Li came to the Hengyang branch in name only to assist with work.

but,

As soon as he arrived, he led the team to participate in the city martial arts selection competition as the team leader, and was fully responsible for all matters related to the competition.

In other words, Wang Chuxiong and Zhang Changming cooperated with him in everything related to the city martial arts selection.

Who can be happy about this?

After the other coaches left, Gong Li talked with Fang Qiang, Ding Wu, Wang Xilie and others for a while.

Chen Jie also greeted the other party with a smile.

but,

Coach Gong Li obviously didn't pay attention to Chen Jie. He just nodded and didn't talk to Chen Jie.

There was no way around it. The fact that Chen Jie was now the "chief boxer" of the Hengyang branch was only known to the martial arts gym.

Gong Li just came from the main library, how would he know all this?
In his eyes, Chen Jie was just an ordinary student.

Chen Jie was bored and didn't bother to pay attention to the other party. He turned around and started looking for someone to train with in actual combat.

Coach Gong Li returned to his temporary office and took a look at the list of participants on the table.

"What's going on? Chen Jie! A welterweight boxer who has only been in the martial arts class for less than a month, and you want him to participate in this HY City martial arts selection competition?"

"Is this a joke? What is Wang Chuxiong doing? Is he trying to trip me up?"

"No wonder the Hengyang branch's overall performance has been getting worse over the past few years. How could it not be bad if they were running it this way?"

"The management is in chaos. They're using connections, faking their records, and even rigged fights—!"

"Humph! Can the Hengyang branch be developed like this? It seems that I came to the right place this time. If the Hengyang branch continues to run like this, it will collapse sooner or later!"

Chen Jie's name was clearly marked on the list of participants.

Name: Chen Jie;
Nickname: None;

Height: 180cm;

Wingspan: 182cm;

Weight: 165 lbs.
Fat percentage: 11.5%;

Date of joining Elite Martial Arts School: *year*month*day;
-

After seeing Chen Jie's weight, height, and the time he joined the Elite Martial Arts School.

Gong Li was furious!
He had been at the elite martial arts gym for less than a month and weighed only 165 pounds, making him a welterweight.

Under such conditions, he was allowed to represent the Hengyang branch in the competition?
What are you doing?
Obviously, Gong Li's first reaction was that Chen Jie was definitely a relative.

A welterweight fighter goes to compete in an indiscriminate martial arts selection competition.

If this isn't someone with connections trying to improve their performance, then what is it?
Gong Li did not hesitate at all and directly crossed out Chen Jie from the list of participants.

If Chen Jie was a heavyweight, or even a light heavyweight boxer, he would think about testing Chen Jie's fighting ability.

but,

Chen Jie is just a welterweight boxer.

There is no point in conducting an assessment, this is definitely a relationship-based system.

Next,
He carefully consulted the strength rankings of the students in the Hengyang branch and added Li Bin, who was ranked fifth.

What no one expected was that Chen Jie, the "chief boxer" of the Hengyang branch of the Elite Martial Arts School, was inexplicably kicked out of the competition list by Gong Li.

2 p.m.

The HY City Martial Arts Association announced the participating lists of major martial arts schools.

When Wang Chuxiong and Zhang Changming saw the list of contestants, they were completely dumbfounded.

Even Xu Dachi was surprised when he saw the list of contestants?
what's the situation?
Didn’t the coaching staff hold several meetings before to specifically discuss the roster of participants?

Why is Chen Jie not on the list of participants announced by the Municipal Martial Arts Association?

The 'Top Boxer' was kicked off the competition list! ?

When Wang Chuxiong saw the list of participants published on the organizing committee’s website, he became furious and rushed to Gong Li’s temporary office impatiently.

"Brother Li, what's going on? Why has the list of contestants changed?"

"Where's Chen Jie? Why isn't Chen Jie on the list?"

Wang Chuxiong pointed at the list on the website on his phone and asked loudly, "Why didn't you discuss it with me when you changed the list of participants?"

He was furious when he saw that Chen Jie's name was not on the list of contestants.

Chen Jie is the 'chief boxer' of the Hengyang branch!

If people knew that the 'chief' of the Hengyang branch was kicked off the list, wouldn't that be a joke?

"Discuss!? You still dare to ask me to discuss it?"

"Wang Chuxiong, you're asking a welterweight boxer who's been with the martial arts school for less than a month to participate in this 'no-holds-barred' boxing match in Hengyang. How can I discuss this with you?"

"Do you know the significance of this 'Hengyang Martial Arts Trial'?"

"To be honest, I am very disappointed with the management of your Hengyang branch."

"I really didn't expect that in just a few years, the Hengyang branch would become like this. It's a mess, and the management is in disarray."

"The top-ranked students from the five levels of the branch went to the headquarters for training and ranked last, even lower than the Loudi branch, which had always been at the bottom!"

"Don't forget, the Hengyang branch was once ranked among the top three elite martial arts schools!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I came here to eliminate all connections. I, Gong Li, won't tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes!"

Gong Li spoke loudly, no longer beating around the bush. "But—I—!"

Wang Chuxiong was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, he was speechless.

It is indisputable that the students and disciples at the Hengyang branch have indeed not been strong in recent years.

Due to the annual headquarters training, the overall strength of the Hengyang branch has been declining.

By this year, it has fallen from the top three to the bottom.

This is also the main reason why the headquarters sent Gong Li to Hengyang.

"That's enough! Wang Chuxiong, we are all martial artists, so don't do those crooked ways!"

Gong Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am the leader of the Hengyang Martial Arts Trials this time. I have the final say on all matters concerning the competition!"

"You and Changming just need to cooperate with me. If this competition fails to meet headquarters' expectations, I will bear all the responsibility."

call--!
Wang Chuxiong let out a long breath. He wanted to argue, but he didn't know how to start.

Although he is the owner of the Hengyang branch, Gong Li was sent by the headquarters and was directly appointed as the leader of the Hengyang Martial Arts Selection Competition, with full responsibility!

He must cooperate with Gong Li's work, otherwise he will most likely be dismissed from his position as the branch library director.

"Brother Li! The Hengyang branch's performance has indeed been poor in recent years. I admit that perhaps this has a lot to do with my management ability!"

"But no matter what, you shouldn't disqualify Chen Jie from the competition!"

"This roster was not decided by me alone; it was confirmed by the entire coaching staff in a meeting."

"If you cancel anyone, no one will have any objections, but if you cancel Chen Jie, everyone will have objections!"

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now. The roster has already been announced, and it's too late to make substitutions now!"

"Chen Jie may not know yet. I have to go find him and tell him in detail so that he won't feel uncomfortable."

"Also, we need to add a substitute roster for our Hengyang branch this afternoon, and I must arrange it!"

"If you delete all the substitute spots again, don't blame me, Wang Chuxiong, for turning against you. Even if I don't become the director of the Hengyang branch, I will go to Changsha to seek an explanation."

finished,

Wang Chuxiong stared at Gong Li with burning eyes, refusing to give in.

In the Hengyang Martial Arts Selection Competition, there will be a substitute spot in the list of participants for each martial arts school.

If a boxer is accidentally injured or suffers other sudden illness before entering the ring, the match will not be cancelled, but a substitute will compete.

The purpose of doing this is to deal with emergencies.

fair and just!
Gong Li frowned, and after a moment, he nodded and said:
"Okay! I promise you, I won't touch the substitute spot."

He had just arrived and still needed the assistance of Wang Chuxiong and Zhang Changming in his work, so naturally he didn't want to fall out with Wang Chuxiong.

A substitute spot has little impact on the overall record, and it is unknown whether the substitute will have the opportunity to play.

-

3pm.

Wang Chuxiong found Chen Jie and told him about the announcement of the list of contestants.

Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this.

Damn it——!
My qualification to participate in the competition has been cancelled! ?
"Master, you promised me solemnly that you would let me participate in the Hengyang Martial Arts Trials!"

"The competition is about to start the day after tomorrow, and you're telling me now that I'm disqualified!?"

Chen Jie frowned and said in a cold voice.

He spent a lot of time and energy to participate in the Hengyang Martial Arts Trials.

He is now in great need of [Martial Arts Merit Points].

The original list of contestants had already been finalized, but now someone is suddenly disqualified from the competition. Anyone would be furious.

Wang Chuxiong explained with a helpless smile:
"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Coach Gong to change the roster. This is my fault!"

"He just arrived and doesn't know the situation of our Hengyang branch. He doesn't know your ability and thinks you are a 'connected person'!"

"I just had a big fight with him in the office!"

"At 2 p.m., the list has already been announced and cannot be changed."

"I have just submitted your name to the Martial Arts Association. It's a substitute position. I hope you can understand my difficulties."

"Gong Li, that guy, changed the roster this morning without even saying hello!"

"I promise you, at next month's Shonan Sanda Championship, as long as I'm still the branch gym leader, you'll definitely be the main competitor!"

Damn it——!
Do I understand your difficulties?
Who will understand me!
boom!
Chen Jie kicked the trash can next to him away.

Chen Jie took a deep breath and said coldly: "Where is Gong Li? I'll go find him!"

Originally, he was looking forward to gaining more [Martial Arts Merit Points] in the 'Hengyang Martial Arts Trials'!
Now, the plan is ruined!

The list of contestants has been announced and cannot be changed.

There's nothing wrong with your suspicion, but you can arrange an assessment.

Who can tolerate being disqualified from the competition without even saying hello?

Chen Jie turned to look at Wang Chuxiong and said in a deep voice:

"Wang Chuxiong, my purpose of joining the elite martial arts gym is to receive actual combat training and participate in boxing matches."

"Since you are unable to provide this resource, our cooperation ends here!"

"Don't talk about disqualification in front of me. It has nothing to do with you!"

"You're the gym owner, but you can't even guarantee a list of participants. How can you expect all the students in the gym to trust you?"

"I won't say anything extra, just think about it yourself!"

finished,

Chen Jie packed up his luggage and turned to leave the training hall.

-

Half past three in the afternoon.

Chen Jie left Hengyang and took the high-speed rail to South China.

He was inexplicably disqualified from the competition and is now furious.

I don’t know if Gong Li was deliberately avoiding him. I looked for him but couldn’t find him.

After three hours,

He came to Tianhe District and met with Yuan Lu and Manager Huang of Rongji Chinese Medicine Hall.

Although it was time to get off work, Chen Jie had greeted everyone in advance.

The transaction went very smoothly, and Chen Jie sold a batch of precious Chinese herbal medicines worth 12 million!

There are not only 'wild ginseng', but also Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps and other medicinal materials.

Relatively speaking, wild ginseng that is younger in age is easier to sell.

Because ordinary families can afford it, the market is bigger and it is easier to sell.

The 'wild ginseng' and other Chinese herbal medicines that Chen Jie brought with him have very strong medicinal properties.

After checking the medicinal properties, several experts in charge of the inspection praised all the medicinal materials highly.

Therefore,
In terms of price, 'Rongji Chinese Medicine Hall' purchases products at the highest price of the same level in the market.

This time the shipment is worth 12 million, which is enough for Rongji Chinese Medicine Hall to digest for a period of time.

As for "wild ginseng" that is over a hundred years old, it is in short supply and only specific customers are in demand.

Or you can just wait for an opportunity and go to an auction to sell it at a high price.

Relatively speaking, the rare 'wild ginseng' that is over a hundred years old is expensive but difficult to sell.

of course,

Chen Jie carefully considered the quantity of goods he shipped.

You can't have too much at one time, otherwise it will disrupt the market and cause large price fluctuations.

Steady and steady wins the race. He has too many goods in his hands and he absolutely cannot ruin his own plate.

After Rongji Chinese Medicine Hall has digested this batch of wild ginseng, it will sell the next batch.

After the transaction was completed, Chen Jie went straight to the "Jinhuicui Jewelry Store" in Pingzhou, Focheng.

He had made an appointment to meet Liang Jinhao, so naturally there wouldn't be any unpleasantness like last time.

To be honest, when people are in society, they have to earn their own face.

Ever since Chen Jie’s strong performance at the Laojie Boxing Stadium in Kokang, Southeast Asia, Liang Jinhao has been full of admiration for him.

This transaction was relatively simple.

Chen Jie took out more than 30 pieces of top-quality jadeite, with a total value of up to 28 million!

The three appraisers carefully inspected it for half an hour before finally determining the price.

Liang Jinhao did not bargain or say any nonsense, and directly asked the finance department to settle the bill.

Medicinal materials and jade and jadeite, a total of 40 million has been received!

Chen Jie's mood improved a little.

The same principle applies to the shipment of "wild ginseng". Not too much jade can be shipped each time, so as not to disrupt the market.

Currently, Chen Jie only deals with 'Jinhuicui' and 'Jufu'.

One is in Pingzhou, Focheng, and the other is in Jieyang.

And up to now, Chen Jie has not really sold any 'big pieces' of jade and jadeite!
Generally speaking, "big items" are also sold at auctions.

Only the top wealthy collectors would spend a lot of money to buy big items.
