I played through Chapter 17 completely.
I played through Chapter 17 completely.
Watching the time tick by, second by second.
Xie Chenyu finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned to look at Sister Pei.
Wasn't it agreed that all four of them were top-level boxing matches?
Why did the last one go by so much?
When Xie Chenyu heard Song Sheng say that he was struggling to speak for five minutes, she thought he was just being modest...
Sister Pei explained, "Song Sheng is a new boxer in the boxing ring. He was recommended by Ah Hu this time."
Although I never saw him appear on stage, I heard Ah Hu mention it afterward.
His martial arts skills are quite good; it shouldn't take too long. Perhaps there's some surprise in store.
"A surprise?" Xie Chenyu was still complaining, "It's almost eight-tenths done—"
Halfway through the conversation, the door to the private room was politely pushed open by the waiter one last time.
Song Sheng, who was standing outside the door, walked in.
His clothes were covered in footprints, and he even had some bruises on his body.
But Song Sheng smiled brightly, walked closer, opened his palm, and there were three gold coins lying quietly inside.
Song Sheng looked up and asked, "It's a bit late, but we should still make it, right?"
"You weren't overtime, but you weren't just a little late, you were way late," Xie Chenyu said curtly.
Song Sheng took about seven minutes and fifty seconds, which was only two minutes left of the originally agreed ten minutes.
Saying it won't pass would be a slap in their own face.
But the time it took to pass was almost twice that of the white man, which was quite a difference compared to the other three.
Xie Chenyu even suspected that Sister Pei's people had received a tip for recommending the other party!
But do Sister Pei's people really have the guts to do that?
"That's good," Song Sheng's smile widened upon hearing that the time was up, and he took back the gold coin in his hand: "Does the coin deal we made earlier still count?"
Xie Chenyu waved her hand impatiently: "Here you go. You keep your word, what you get is yours."
Afterwards, the four stayed for a short while longer before being asked to leave.
As for the agreed-upon thousand yuan, someone will deliver it to you after you leave.
Luxury private rooms
As agreed, Xie Chenyu and Mia discussed it briefly and then each selected two boxers.
To be precise, Mia accepted Song Sheng and Bai Nan together after Xie Chenyu had made her selection.
Mia asked curiously, "I can understand why Song stayed, but why did Mr. Desk also stay?"
The first boxer to enter was Desk. Since Xie Chenyu cares about her boxer's strength, why did she give him up?
Xie Chenyu leaned lazily against the sofa. "It's true he was the first to come in, but he was also the first to leave. Besides, I don't like guys like that."
Sitting across from me, Sister Pei asked, "Have you chosen everything?"
"alright."
"Once a move is made, there's no going back."
No regrets.
As they were talking, Ah Hu, having received instructions, also entered the private room.
"Sister Pei, the outside has been tidied up."
How many coins are left?
"Well--"
"What's wrong?"
"Ahem, the people outside don't have a single one left."
"..."
Xie Chenyu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Each of the four of them took three coins, so there were only twelve coins in total.
But I remember we had a full fifty coins made, especially on the security captains in the lobby—”
Towards the end, Xie Chenyu gradually realized something was wrong: "Wait, you mean that among those boxers, some of them took more than three coins?"
Sister Pei also looked over with great interest.
Ah Hu's forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Besides the three coins each of the other boxers received, that kid Liang Sheng took all the remaining coins."
Xie Chenyu: "..."
A glint of surprise appeared in Sister Pei's eyes: Good lad, he's come here to buy goods!
Mia also became interested and asked in somewhat broken Chinese, "How many security personnel are there in total this time?"
"Ten people in the corridor, twenty people in the lobby, a total of thirty people were arranged on the third floor, and the three captains had multiple coins on them."
"You mean, Song single-handedly took down more than twenty regular security personnel? And in less than eight minutes?"
"To be precise, he also took down the two security guards downstairs who weren't involved, but he didn't find the coin, so he gave up looking for it."
"--hiss!"
"What does it mean that he only showed us three coins?"
"Perhaps he's worried that if he takes too much, we'll ask him for it back?"
"..."
Xie Chenyu was getting a little frustrated and couldn't help but look at Sister Pei across from her. Seeing her deep in thought, she immediately questioned, "Pei Pei, did you already know?!"
Sister Pei's sharp gaze swept over, but Xie Chenyu was sulking and didn't notice much.
Sister Pei held back for a moment, but said stiffly, "When he came in earlier, I did notice that his pockets were bulging, and I also expected that he should have more than three coins."
Even so, I still didn't expect them to snatch up all the remaining items in one go.
Turning his head, he said, "Ah Hu, reserve a good private room for me at the boxing match at the Yi Hai Building tomorrow night."
Xie Chenyu turned to her best friend: "Mia, how about we switch people again?"
Mia shook her head: "Carp, you already chose it first."
Seeing that she wouldn't budge, Xie Chenyu muttered, "Fine, I won't change it then. We'll see who's stronger in the ring."
They're all top-level boxers, I don't believe there's much of a difference between them!
Maybe my men will be even more powerful!
Mia smiled without saying a word.
……
Back to my little nest
Song Sheng already had 41 gold coins in his pocket, each weighing about 5 grams.
Although the price of gold is currently unstable and fluctuates greatly, if all these gold coins were sold, they would be worth at least several thousand Hong Kong dollars.
With the 1,000 yuan I just received, plus the 2,000 yuan I have on hand, the funding for opening the museum is no longer a problem.
As expected, rich women are very generous. For the time being, this relationship with Queen Pei cannot be severed.
When the global mission "Promoting Chinese Martial Arts" reaches a certain stage, it is bound to face some problems that are difficult to solve with manpower.
Queen Pei's two best friends must have very different backgrounds, and we might need to leverage their influence later on.
The next day, in the morning
Song Sheng contacted Tiger again, asking him to help deal with the forty-one gold coins.
"..." Tiger looked at the stack of gleaming gold coins, his eyelids twitching.
Well, you came to Sister Pei's place to buy goods last night, and today you're asking me to help you sell them?
"Hey kid, who do you think I am, Binny Tiger?!"
"I'll give you ten percent."
"You have a good eye for people."
