Li Zheng said, "I'm just saying.
I'm a gentleman. "
I said, "Gentleman my ass!
Just stay here. I'm still counting on you to get a place. "
Li Zheng said, "Damn you!
Are you mocking me again?
Who doesn't know that we're just supporting characters?
You're the main character.
I want to discuss something with you. If you really win, can you give me the tip of the iceberg? "
I patted his shoulder. "Are you dreaming?
Who doesn't know that you're rich? Your father's assets are over a hundred million, and you're still complaining about being poor? "
Li Zheng said, "My father's money is still my father's!"
I checkmated him. "Then what's mine is still mine. Why should I give you the tip of the iceberg?
If you're so capable, go get the prize yourself! "
Li Zheng laughed. "You value money over friends."
After joking with Li Zheng, I walked out of the room and went to You Meng's room.
I knocked on the door, but Qi Mengyan opened it.
She smiled and asked, "Looking for me?"
I shook my head. "I'm looking for You Meng."
Qi Mengyan pursed her lips. "You Meng isn't here. She went to take a shower.
Why are you looking for her? "
I smiled bitterly. "What can I do?
It's a private matter. "
Qi Mengyan said, "Can I help you?"
I checkmated her. "Some things can't be replaced.
You should rest early. "
I quickly walked out of the room and went to the courtyard.
I suddenly felt a strong fishy smell in the air. I couldn't tell what it was exactly.
The sky was different, and the smell was different. It was exotic and homesick.
I held a cigarette in my mouth and wandered around the courtyard. A series of pleasant footsteps came from behind me, getting closer and closer.
It was Marisia.
She didn't disturb my thoughts, but stopped two meters away from me and snickered.
The light shone on her face. Her skin was fair and lustrous. Her beautiful blonde hair was so elegant and soft as it rested on her shoulders.
I said, "Come out for a walk too?"
Marisia smiled and said, "I felt that you would come out, so I followed you. I didn't expect to meet you."
I smiled and asked, "Oh, it's that magical?"
Marisia said, "It is quite amazing.
However, may I have the honor of inviting you out for a walk? "
I said, "There's no need for that, right?
It was dark and cold outside.
It's better to take a walk in the courtyard. If something happens, it'll be easier to handle it. "
Marisia shrugged. "Secretary Zhao, are you avoiding me?
I admit that I did have improper thoughts about you, but don't worry, we're just friends now.
I will not play the role of a third party between you and You Meng.
I remember that I promised You Meng. "
I said, "What are you thinking!"
Marisia ran her fingers through her hair and smiled. "I won't force you.
But you have to promise me that when you and You Meng get married, you must inform me.
I will ask the President for leave to attend your wedding.
You won't be unwelcome, right? "
I smiled and said, "Then I'll be honored.
You're very welcome. "
Marisia said, "Then it's settled!"
She turned to leave, but stopped in her tracks. As if she suddenly remembered something, she quickly walked towards me.
I asked, "What's wrong?"
Marisia shrugged and blinked her beautiful blue eyes. "I don't know how good you are now, but I think I should remind you that the current Keszew is no longer the Keszew of last year.
If you want to beat him, he'll have to use his full strength. "
I smiled and said, "Thank you, I will!"
Marisia suddenly grabbed my arm. "Come with me!"
Inexplicably, I was pulled by her to a deserted corner.
I didn't know what she wanted to do.
While I was puzzled, Marisia suddenly took half a step back and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, Marisia smiled and said, "I can help you analyze Keszew's attack methods.
I've often practiced with him this year, so I'm very familiar with his methods. "
I suddenly understood. I was grateful and surprised.
I joked, "Marisia, do you know that you're betraying your country and your friends by doing this?
You can't do this. "
Marisia shrugged and looked deeply at me. "Listen, Zhao Long. I want to say that if I don't do this, I'll feel very uneasy.
I'll be very worried about your condition. "
I smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I hope to compete fairly.
Thank you. "
Marisia said, "I hope you're right!
I'll cheer for you! "
I nodded and said, "Thank you."
We didn't say anything after that. I could see that Marisia wanted to confess and confide in me, but she didn't have the chance to.
Marisia stood at the door for ten minutes before returning to her residence.
I looked up at the starry sky and pondered.
The next day, it was still a rest day.
Before the official conference, we had to adjust our mental state to the best possible state.
After lunch, I sat in the dining room and wiped the corners of my mouth with a napkin. Suddenly, a few Japanese contestants walked over.
The leader was Yamamoto Nobutaka.
You Meng looked at them in disgust and kicked the ground as a hint.
I pretended not to see and continued to do my own thing.
Yamamoto Nobutaka stretched out a finger and flicked it twice on the table. "Friend, do you want to come to our dojo?
It's a dojo that we Japanese opened in America. "
I smiled and asked, "Can you give me a reason, Yamamoto?"
Yamamoto Nobutaka smiled and said, "Do we need a reason?
It's because we're friends.
If we can come to America and participate in the conference, we're already friends!
At least, we're friends on the same side. "
I snorted and asked with a smile, "Who's on the same side as you?
Yamamoto, I'll tell you clearly today that I can be friends with Americans, but I won't be friends with Japanese people.
Because that's — "
Yamamoto Nobutaka interrupted me. "Why?
Is it because you're afraid of us? "
I frowned and said, "What a joke!"
Yamamoto Nobutaka smiled darkly. "If you're not afraid of us, why don't you come with me to the dojo?
Don't worry, I'm just making friends through martial arts. I won't waste my energy to compete with you.
This is a friendly invitation. "
I said, "No time.
If you want to go, go by yourselves. Why do you have to drag me along? "
Yamamoto Nobutaka smiled and said, "I want you to see something."
I said, "Bullshit!
I'm not in the mood.
You can go now! "
Yamamoto Nobutaka suddenly burst into laughter. "You have quite a personality!
Okay, we won't force you.
You don't have to be friends with me.
But believe me, you'll regret it!
You'll definitely regret it! "
I ignored them and stood up, stretching. Then, I hugged You Meng and left.
Three days of adjustment time passed quickly. Everything was the same as last year.
The individual performance didn't change much from last year.
However, Li Zheng's performance in this event was very good.
He performed the 'Hard Qigong' that was unique to China. He combined several traditional performances and received praise from the organizing committee and the audience.
Of course, my card skills shocked the audience as usual.
Many audience members couldn't help but stand up and cheer.
The individual performance was completed in two days. The Chinese guard had a total score of 94 points, ranking first.
The night after the score was announced, Keszew suddenly came to me and said provocatively, "You're always doing the same thing. Can't you change it up?
I dare to guess that your performance next year will be 'Breaking Stones with Cards'?
Or 'Breaking Steel with Cards'? "
I was too lazy to argue with him. However, Director Qi didn't miss the opportunity to checkmate him. "The score will prove everything.
Your total score is only around 80 points. You didn't even enter the top 6. What right do you have to mock us? "
Keszew smiled and said, "Oh, my cute leader, you should know that the competition is the highlight of the event.
You got 90 points. I admit that you're first.
But this is just a warm-up.
There's nothing to be proud of.
Believe me, I will represent China and win the championship.
Just like last year. "
Director Qi had always been disgusted by Keszew's arrogance, so he said, "Anyone can dream.
Your dream is good. "
Keszew said, "This isn't a dream, dear leader.
Reality will prove everything. "
At this time, Li Zheng suddenly stood in front of Keszew and looked him up and down. He clenched his fist and said in Chinese, "Bro, why are you so arrogant?"
Keszew also looked at Li Zheng. "I'm talking to your leader. You have no right to interrupt.
You're just a newcomer. "
Li Zheng sneered. "A newcomer?
So you're an old man?
Let me tell you, Keszew. With me, Li Zheng, you won't make it to the last round.
If you don't believe me, just wait and see. "
Keszew glanced at me. "Zhao Long, what's his background?
How arrogant.
In the words of the Chinese, spicy toads yawn. How arrogant! "
I corrected him. "Are all the toads in your country spicy?
Different breeds?
Keszew, let me give you a suggestion. Go back and rest.
If you brag in front of your subordinates, no one will laugh at you.
But here, you're provoking them. "
Keszew shrugged. "Provoking?
I don't think so.
I think if Mike can come … "
I interrupted him. "I think you should go and provoke the Japanese.
They're just like you. "
Keszew nodded. "That's a good suggestion.
I think I should go and meet them.
I like to learn more about my opponents before a big battle. "
Then, Keszew walked out.
Director Qi couldn't help but say, "Foreigners are all so arrogant."
Li Zheng crossed his arms. "His arrogance aroused my strong desire to fight.
I really wanted to fight him and make him quit. That way, he wouldn't come here to show off. "
