Unwittingly Zhuan Da Qian extended his hand and took the beans off the table. He started to give Zhu Jiao the number of beans back bit by bit until eventually he was finished.
Whereas Zhu Jiao slowly gave the teller more and more money.
Zhuan Da Qian was by no means stupid, after looking at this performance he decided to sign the deal on the spot and even offered to call Zhu Jiao boss, but he declined because he preferred to stay out of the spotlight and become a sleeping investor.
Zhu Jiao spoke to Zhuan Da Qian about many things including the expansion of his businesses and how it would be wise for a bank to fight for market share early on.
The conversation lasted for a while mostly Zhuan Da Qian nodding his head and agreeing with whatever he said. Eventually, Zhuan Da Qian sent him to the door and bowed, sending him off.
Stepping out of the bank, Zhu Jiao felt like a million bucks. His plans came to fruition and he ticked another thing off his list. The next thing he had to do was find some employees to help him out. The staff working there is easy, the important thing is having a proper trainer.
Immediately the first person that came into his mind was Shi Tou, he knew that Shi Tou's body will not attract attention, so he created a plan to train Shi Tou for a month before using his before and after as marketing for his gym. Because Shi Tou was more athletic, he would be perfect for a trainer as well.
Walking through the Inner disciple gate he took a breath of fresh air as he exclaimed.
"How nostalgic… It's been a while since I came here."
He smiled, as he took a look around the Inner disciple's courtyard.
"Looks like things haven't changed much since I left."
The guards looked at Zhu Jiao walk through, the gate they both wore confused looks on their faces before the guard questioned each other.
"Wasn't he the one who just came through here not long ago?" The guard asked
"Don't question it, it's fine… there are always eccentric experts out there." The other guard shook his head.
Walking into the inner disciple courtyard, there were a few people pointing at him, whispering behind his back.
"It's him, right? The one who became a Core disciple?"
"I heard he is from a rich household, he paid his way into the core disciple position."
"I heard it's because he's handsome and he slept with someone in order to get his core disciple position."
Zhu Jiao put his arms behind his back as he strolled through the inner disciple courtyard. His hearing had always been good since he was young. He however was gleefully basking in the attention he was given by the random strangers there.
After strolling through the courtyard for a while he finally remembered what he was supposed to do! Putting his finger on his forehead, he activated his
Seeing the crowd he strolled over, squeezing his way through until he arrived at a stage. Turning his head to the stranger beside him, he asked.
"Ooh, What's going on here? Is there a performance?"
The elegant lady beside him replied,
"Nope, this is where inner disciples settle their differences in a sparring match, you are not allowed to kill or cripple your opponent but you can beat them up really badly. Did you just get promoted or something? Everyone should know of this place."
"Er… something like that I guess. I'm not from around here…"
Looking on the stage there were 2 camps discussing strategies. Zhu Jiao had gathered from the public that it occurred due to one side bullying the other side and they had crossed the line when they insulted the other person's parents.
Zhu Jiao shrugged his shoulders and watched on, he couldn't relate because he would never get into an argument with someone who would insult his parents. Usually they'd naturally just shut up or apologise. Which was quite weird when he thought about it.
Before he could spiral into deeper thought about it, the action on the stage began as 2 youths walked up to the stage. Zhu Jiao craned his neck and finally got a full view of the stage.
"Hey Shi Tou! I'm here!"
Zhu Jiao shouted as he recognized the youth on the stage as Shi Tou. From the side, Shi Tou whose face was serious, gave a slight smile as he immediately asked for Zhu Jiao to be brought to the corner of his stage.
Walking out from the crowd he was greeted by Lin Chen who was also there in the corner.
"Ooh… Lin Chen, are you involved in this too?"
Zhu Jiao asked as he looked cheerfully at Lin Chen.
"You shut up! It's because you accepted him as your subordinate he had followed me around all this time. I can't leave him in the lurch when he gets into trouble like this. Do you even know who he's facing this time!?"
Zhu Jiao gave a wry smile and was about to speak but even before he could open his mouth, he was cut off by Lin Chen.
"Of course, you don't. The one he is fighting against is Wu Lie, his older brother is a core disciple and his grandfather is the Disciplinary Hall elder. His whole family is in charge of the disciplinary hall. Everyone who goes up against them always ends up in major losses. I'm warning you, if anything happens today, don't go up against them."
Zhu Jiao nodded his head blankly, in his mind he was already thinking of something else.
"Corrupt disciplinary hall? Nice! If I overthrow them will I command the disciplinary hall or something?"
His smile showed very slightly as the tips of the side of his lips started to curl up.
"I know that look! Stop whatever you're thinking of now!" Lin Chen shouted.
