Ye Ziqiu was too embarrassed to keep tossing Lin Jian around, but she really did need his help moving some heavy items.
So she took charge of giving directions while Lin Jian did the heavy lifting.
The large flower pots were left on the first floor, while a few pots of small Hua were carried up to the second-floor bedroom.
The two of them worked for nearly an hour before finally getting all the large items arranged.
“Your name is Lin Jian, right?
Thank you for today.”
With the heavy lifting done, Ye Ziqiu planned to let Lin Jian leave.
After all, she wasn’t familiar with him.
As for her impression of him, she couldn’t say whether it was good or bad.
For a highly educated female corporate executive like her, she handled everything with rationality and calmness.
Thus, her interaction with this little security guard would end here.
They wouldn’t even have much overlap in the future, because they were entirely from two different worlds.
Lin Jian could tell that the great beauty was showing him the door, but he felt she was being a bit cold and aloof.
Moreover, after doing manual labor for her for so long, she was kicking him out without even offering a sip of water.
This woman was completely devoid of human warmth.
“Goodbye.”
Although the great beauty was stunning, Lin Jian didn’t even spare her a glance in this moment.
He simply turned around and walked out of the villa.
Ye Ziqiu didn’t say anything like “you’re welcome to visit my home,” because that would be unrealistic.
Naturally, she still maintained proper etiquette, so she politely walked Lin Jian to the front door.
And as soon as Lin Jian left, she deadbolted the door.
Returning to the living room, she thought for a moment before taking out her phone and dialing President Hu’s number.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up.
“President Hu, helping me move today is a personal matter, and I can’t just boss them around for free.
So, give the two security guards one thousand each…
Give Lin Jian a two thousand bonus, and the other one thousand.
Deduct the expenses from my salary.”
Ye Ziqiu had originally intended to give a one thousand reward for the personal job, but remembering that the little security guard had his head busted open last night, she added another thousand.
Naturally, she had to pay for this out of her own pocket.
“Understood, President Ye.”
The chubby President Hu agreed repeatedly, while also marveling at how incredibly good Liu Fei and Lin Jian’s Luck was today—the boss was actually giving them a reward!
Leaving the villa, Lin Jian had no idea that Ye Ziqiu had given him an extra bonus.
Even after walking out of the villa complex, he was still feeling gloomy.
This rich woman was very arrogant, and women who were both rich and beautiful were not only arrogant but also lacked a human touch.
However, thinking about it carefully, he and she were indeed from two different worlds.
He thought, “But can I just not go back to the company for now?”
Outside the villa complex, Lin Jian’s eyes lit up as he said, “I came to the boss’s house on Duke’s business.
In that case, no one besides the boss knows when I left.
So, if I don’t go back to the company now, there won’t be any problems, right?”
With that thought in mind, he immediately waved down a taxi.
“To East Street of the Sports School, downstairs of the Construction Bank Building.”
Directly across from the Construction Bank Building on East Street of the Sports School was an alleyway, and inside that alleyway was a boxing gym.
The gym was opened by a senior who had graduated a few years before him.
He had distributed many hourly, monthly, and seasonal passes within the sports school, offering great discounts to the students there.
However, Lin Jian didn’t have a pass.
First, he didn’t have the spare cash for it, and second, one of this senior’s younger brothers had been beaten up by Lin Jian.
Therefore, it was impossible for Lin Jian to sign up for a membership at this gym.
The reason he came over today was that there was an arranged bout taking place in the gym.
It was between a renowned traditional Martial Arts master from Shandong and a sanda bronze medalist from Jiangnan Province.
That sanda bronze medalist was from Jiangcheng Sports School and was also one of Lin Jian’s seniors.
He was also a classmate of the gym owner.
As a result, the gym owner had acted as the middleman and guarantor, leading both parties to agree to fight here.
Naturally, it was the type of arranged fight with referees, medical personnel, and friends and family from both sides present.
Furthermore, it was strictly forbidden to post it online, and no photography equipment was allowed inside.
This arranged fight had been hyped up for months, and the Huaxia traditional Martial Arts community and the free combat faction had been trash-talking each other for just as long.
Originally, Lin Jian had planned to come and watch the spectacle today, but not wanting to disappoint his mom, he could only go work as a security guard.
But now he had time, so he rushed to the gym without stopping.
There were four bouncers at the entrance of the gym, but when they saw Lin Jian push the door open and walk in with a grin, their scalps tingled.
Although Lin Jian studied traditional Martial Arts, this guy was still into Dual Cultivation; he also practiced free combat.
However, he had never fought in an official arena, nor had he ever arranged a fight with a sanda king or anyone similar.
The guys guarding the door all knew him.
In the past, they had gone to the sports school to corner Lin Jian, only to be taken down by him.
Four against one, and they still couldn’t beat him.
Because of that, he had left a deep impression on them.
Right now, however, the four of them were extremely surprised because Lin Jian had actually shown up wearing a security guard uniform.
Lin Jian actually went and became a security guard!
“Lin Jian, you can’t go in without an invitation.” One of the guys acted tough, stepping directly in front of Lin Jian to block his path.
“I do have an invitation.
Who says I don’t?” Lin Jian extended his open palm, then clenched it into a fist.
“This is the invitation.
If you don’t let me in right now, I’ll officially challenge the gym.
You have to accept a gym challenge, right?
If you don’t, I’ll go out and put up big-character posters denouncing you.
Do you believe me?”
You just wait.”
With that, the bouncer walked briskly toward the training hall in the back.
Lin Jian wasn’t in a hurry.
He looked at the other three with a grinning face.
The guy went quickly and returned just as fast.
He even brought the gym owner with him.
Beside the owner was Lin Jian’s classmate—the owner’s younger brother, the very same one he had beaten up before.
“Lin Jian, I heard you want to challenge the gym?” That classmate was named Xu Dongping.
At this moment, Xu Dongping was clearly very excited.
Was Lin Jian coming here with a death wish?
However, Lin Jian didn’t even spare Xu Dongping a glance.
Instead, he looked at the gym owner, Xu Hang, and said, “Boss Xu, I just came to watch the show.
It’s about to start, right?
Don’t be so stingy.”
“Lin Jian, what do you mean?
Are you all talk and no action?” Xu Dongping tried to goad him.
Today, he had to force Lin Jian to challenge the gym, because once he did, someone would definitely teach him a lesson.
Lin Jian continued to ignore Xu Dongping and looked at Xu Hang.
“Boss Xu, what do you say?”
“I heard both your Martial Arts and free combat skills are pretty good.
How about a spar?” Xu Hang asked with a smile.
Lin Jian raised an eyebrow.
Did Xu Hang mean that he welcomed the challenge?
He had only heard of Xu Hang.
Back in the sports school, he was also a prominent figure, but Lin Jian didn’t know the true extent of his skills.
However, Lin Jian really wasn’t someone who was all talk and no action.
Not to mention, he had mutated now.
He had become Superman, and his strength had grown by leaps and bounds.
Naturally, he wasn’t sure exactly how much his strength had increased, since he hadn’t tested it yet.
But his physical strength increasing was a very real fact.
He half-squinted his eyes and used his Thought to sweep a glance at the small fruit tree deep within his mind.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The fruit tree was still there, which meant the abilities he had tested last night were all still present.
“Alright, let’s spar!”
He hadn’t been afraid even before having the small fruit tree, so with the small fruit tree, he was even less afraid!
Therefore, he would challenge the gym!
