A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 603 Disdained
In Yunzhou, Xishan Garden Hotel.
A cab slowly drove in.
A skinny figure hopped out of the car.
"You're the highly skilled fighter that Miss Li recommended?" A subordinate who had been waiting outside the hotel entrance looked at the clean faced youth in front of him and raised this question. He was clearly doubtful.
This man seemed a little too young.
Meanwhile, inside the hotel.
A few men were drinking tea and chatting at the same time.
One of them was middle aged, in a suit and with authoritative looking eyes. This man was the head of the Liang family, Liang Hao-Nan.
An older and stern looking man was sitting across from him.
He was in a long robe and sitting up straight. His eyes were half closed and he looked like he was of high standing.
"Mr Zhou, please have some tea," said Liang Hao-Nan as he filled up Zhou Bo-Tong's cup with tea. His eyes were filled with respect and there was a faint smile on his lips.
"Mr Liang, it's almost night time. Aren't we heading off yet? I don't have a lot of time, you know? After I'm done with your matter, I still have to go back and teach my 3,000 disciples about boxing," said Zhou Bo- Tong in a low voice. His sparse and calm tone made everyone in the room shiver.
"My goodness! 3,000 disciples?! Confucius himself also only had 3,000 during his lifetime. Mr Zhou, you're like Confucius! You're really a great teacher!"
"Mr Liang, looks like we got the right person this time. With Master Zhou in charge, then we'll definitely be able to succeed tonight and get it easily!"
Everyone quickly heaped praises on Zhou
Bo-Tong.
But Liang Hao-Nan asked curiously, "Master Zhou, I remember that your Yongchun Academy isn't much bigger than this restaurant we're in right now. You might be able to fit 300 people inside, but how do you fit 3,000 people inside?"
"In this modern world, we have high speed internet. When did I claim that my lessons were all done in person?" said Zhou Bo-Tong unhappily with a frown.
"Do not use your ignorance to measure my abilities. I, Zhou Bo-Tong, am a martial artist who has been trained in boxing since I was a child and I have already become a master. I broadcast my boxing technique online and I have thousands of fans watching and following me every single day. Saying that I have 3,000 disciples is a conservative estimate. These days, my disciples have probably gone over 100,000 people online!"
"Of course, of course, I have been ignorant. Please forgive me," Liang Hao-Nan hurriedly apologized when he realized that
Zhou Bo-Tong had gotten a little angry.
After all, Liang Hao-Nan was counting on Zhou Bo-Tong to fight tonight. So he had to give all respect to this man and Liang Hao-Nan couldn't afford to offend him at all.
"In that case, what are we waiting for?
Hurry up and start moving!" said Zhou Bo-Tong in a cold voice.
Liang Hao-Nan hurriedly explained, "Mr Zhou, wait for a while more. The daughter of the Li family, Li Xue-Qi, has introduced someone to me. She says he's a highly skilled fighter too, so he might be useful." "Li Xue-Qi?" Zhou Bo-Tong raised an eyebrow. "Are you referring to Master Li Er's younger sister, the eldest daughter of the Li family?"
Liang Hao-Nan nodded. "That is correct."
Liang Hao-Nan thought that after telling Zhou Bo-Tong this, he would quieten down. But once he said this, Zhou Bo-Tong got up with a start and scoffed angrily,
"Looks like the Liang family has someone else to fall back on! Then there's no point for me to hang around and wait any longer. Since that's the case, I will take my leave now. Goodbye!" Zhou Bo-Tong clasped his hands together politely to bid them farewell and turned to leave.
"Mr Zhou, what are you saying? You are the highly skilled fighter that I spent good money on, so how could you say that there's no point? This person was recommended by the Li family and they're very influential, so it's a bit difficult for me to just turn them down, right? Besides, an additional person is an additional source of strength. Now we'll have one more person to block an attack for you, right?" Liang Hao-Nan quickly held onto Zhou Bo-Tong and tried to persuade him not to leave.
Zhou Bo-Tong calmed down a little after hearing this.
"But Mr Liang, not just anybody can block an attack for me, you know? I'd rather go by myself than to bring someone else who might be a burden to me along. Do you understand?" said Zhou Bo-Tong in a cold voice.
Liang Hao-Nan nodded profusely. "Mr Zhou, don't worry, since this person is recommended by the Li family, I would think he must be a master as well, and you might even know him!"
As they were speaking, someone pushed the door open.
A skinny man in simple clothing walked in.
"Where did this brat come from? Can't you see that I'm having a meeting with Mr Zhou? Get out! Where are the security guards? Are they all idiots? How could they simply let anyone in?" shouted Liang Hao- Nan angrily when he saw this person walk into the room.
The operation tonight was classified and he had even booked the entire restaurant so that no strangers would be around.
But someone still managed to barge in after all, so it was only natural for Liang Hao-Nan to be furious.
The subordinate's lips twitched. "Mr Liang, this is the highly skilled fighter that Miss Li recommended."
What?
"He's a highly skilled fighter? This young chap? You've got to be kidding!" Liang Hao-Nan's face was livid when he found out that Ye Fan was the so-called highly skilled fighter from Li Xue-Qi. His eyes were bulging from being angry.
He thought that since this man was recommended by the eldest daughter of the Li family personally, he should be some highly respected person in martial arts or something.
But he turned out to be a young fellow. Of course Liang Hao-Nan was feeling angry.
He felt like he had been played out.
He didn't even let Ye Fan sit down and walked back to Zhou Bo-Tong instead.
"Mr Liang, it looks like you've found the wrong person. She's recommended you someone like this? Even the security guards of Yongchun Academy are probably stronger than this supposed highly skilled fighter." Zhou Bo-Tong laughed merrily as if he had just heard a joke.
Liang Hao-Nan's expression was livid and he looked very upset.
He thought a powerful fighter would come, but a piece of trash had come instead. Liang Hao-Nan was terribly embarrassed as he said bitterly, "Mr Zhou, I'm so sorry that you had to witness this. I didn't expect this Li Xue-Qi to be so ridiculous. She actually sent a youngster here - that's obviously adding more trouble to what I already have. If I had known things would turn out like this, I wouldn't let you wait here for so long."
