When I returned to the dormitory, He Gang wasn't asleep either. He was sitting on the bed in a daze. However, I saw that there were a few red hickeys on his face and on his neck. It looked like he had experienced a fierce battle.
"Damn, are you showing off your love?"
I remembered that He Gang had a girlfriend, but their relationship was lukewarm. She even complained to me before.
"Hey, Boss, don't mention it. It's all because of what happened last time." He Gang turned his head, and I suddenly saw the other side of his face. There was actually a palm print.
"What happened?" I frowned slightly.
Then, He Gang told me the story.
It turned out that he had asked his girlfriend out to go shopping tonight, and then his girlfriend went to the bathroom. He was waiting outside when suddenly a strange woman rushed out and hugged He Gang and kissed him madly. He couldn't push her away no matter how hard he tried. Coincidentally, his girlfriend happened to see this scene. The woman who kissed him forcefully began to talk nonsense again. She said that she had an affair with him and that the child was already more than a month old. She even took out the test report. He Gang's girlfriend was furious on the spot. She slapped him hard in the face and walked away.
Since he came back, He Gang had called no less than a hundred times, but he didn't pick up. This made He Gang restless, and he even suspected that his relationship had come to an end. Although he had my phone number, He Gang didn't want to disturb me, so he just waited. He hoped for the stars and the moon, and I finally came back.
"Boss, you're worthy of being called an expert in the field of love. Give it to me," He Gang pleaded, revealing a deep sense of sorrow.
"Ugh."
I was a bit annoyed. It was my fault. At that time, a group of little fangirls were waiting at the entrance of the Guowei Dojo, but they didn't know what I looked like. Then, I pointed at He Gang. He was surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, and he was very happy.
However, I didn't expect that there would be such a "happy father" effect. Sigh, I could only say that this girl was immoral. It was one thing for her to worship me, but she even wanted to give me the title of a hero who was supposed to take over her life. She was really going overboard.
However, there's no point in complaining about it now. My brain worked quickly, "Ah Gang, if you ask me, you should put this matter aside for now and focus on training. Isn't there ten days until the dojo's monthly examination? Once you become an inner disciple, even if your girlfriend doesn't react, your mother-in-law won't be able to remain calm."
"By the way, Boss, there's something I almost forgot to tell you. You didn't go to the Martial Arts Club today. Master made an announcement. This time, you will be in charge of the monthly assessment, including the evaluation and promotion of outer disciples, as well as whether inner disciples can keep their status!" He Gang said with a smile.
I was stunned. What does Grandmaster Chen mean? Leave everything to me?
Isn't he overestimating me too much!
However, it made sense. Recently, Grandmaster Chen has been busy preparing for the location of the new dojo. In any case, I had won a lot of honors for the Guowei Dojo. If it continued to be in this old small dojo, it would be a bit unreasonable. Although he took a large sum of money, he was used to being thrifty and didn't want to waste money, so he tried to find a suitable and relatively cost-effective place.
"Okay, I understand." I nodded.
"Boss, can you make an exception for me?" He Gang smiled and said with a thick face.
Although he wanted to improve, he had been addicted to games recently. In addition, his relationship with his girlfriend had been lukewarm, so He Gang didn't have the confidence to face the monthly assessment.
"No," I said without thinking.
"Ah."
He Gang was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that I, who had always been easy to talk to, would reject him mercilessly. This was even after he was implicated.
"Why, Boss?" He Gang couldn't help but ask.
"There's no reason. All along, the Guowei Dojo has maintained the principle of fairness and justice to measure every disciple. The existence of the monthly assessment is to make the martial artists with slightly less talent better. In the end, you are asking me to make an exception. Isn't this equivalent to breaking the rules set by Master?
Since he gave me the power, it is out of trust in me. I really can't practice favoritism! "I said seriously.
"Uh …" He Gang's face was full of embarrassment. He thought he had heard wrong just now.
In fact, He Gang had also hesitated for a long time about this matter. In recent days, due to my successive achievements, the Guowei Dojo was filled with joy. It was precisely because of this that those disciples had neglected their cultivation. This was not a good sign. After all, I was only in the Guowei Dojo temporarily. If anything went wrong in the future, Grandmaster Chen would still be unable to do anything alone. Therefore, for the long-term development of the dojo, I had to be the bad guy.
"Boss, can I really not do it?
You just said that as long as I become an inner disciple, even her mother won't dare to give me a hard time. Why can't you help me? "He Gang gritted his teeth, his face full of pleading.
He should also understand that what I did was for his own good, but some things were beyond his personal ability. He Gang wanted to go through the back door, which was also understandable.
Thinking of the scene of him cheering and shouting at the dojo challenge, as well as his humble appearance at this moment, my heart felt suffocated.
"A Gang, I don't think you should bring it up now and destroy the relationship between us brothers. Anyway, I can tell you clearly that no matter whether you are a disciple of the Guowei Dojo or not, you are still a good brother of mine, Zhuang Feng. If you do your best and haven't reached that goal, I will also consider for you, instead of doing nothing. If you have time to worry about your girlfriend and play games, you might as well think about how to deal with the dojo assessment," I patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
In fact, in my heart, I was particularly eager to have someone who could fight side by side with me. There was no doubt that Director Du was one, and so was Grandmaster Chen. However, there was a generation gap between their ages, so it was impossible for us to call each other brothers. So, to put it bluntly, I hoped that there would be a martial artist who was the opposite of my age but had endless vitality. At least in the process of continuous transformation, I wouldn't feel lonely and indecisive.
