After sending Chen Jianhai away, Wu Kai and his assistant habitually checked every inch of the guest room, looking for any hidden cameras or other devices.
The more they checked, the more surprised Wu Kai became. Wasn't the room a bit too luxurious? While Duan Zao and Bai Cheng might not know the value of the furniture, he did!
Not to mention anything else, but the carpet alone could buy a fairly good car. Over the years, Wu Kai had stayed in many hotels while traveling for work, both domestically and internationally, ranging from high-end to low-end.
But it was rare to see a hotel room furnished with such expensive carpets.
Moreover, every item in the room was placed with understated luxury — it wasn't flashy at first glance, but a closer look revealed their high quality.
The more Wu Kai looked, the more surprised he was. Who would have thought that on such a small island, there would be such a hidden gem of a private vacation resort!
Interesting~
After confirming the safety of the guest room, the assistant said, "Brother Kai, it's been a long time since we gave our fans some benefits."
"I see there are few people here, and the scenery is nice. How about we practice some martial arts on the beach?"
Wu Kai thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
...
"Boss, can I ask for an autograph later?"
In the lobby, Qin Mengqiu stood beside Chen Jianhai, her bright black eyes full of pleading.
This morning, Chen Jianhai held a short three-minute meeting, emphasizing that all hotel services should be based on the guests' needs and that they should never disturb the guests' rest.
So even though many hotel employees were Wu Kai's fans, they all controlled themselves and didn't dare to disturb him.
Chen Jianhai helplessly looked at Qin Mengqiu. She was the twenty-something employee who had secretly come to him to ask for a favor.
"You can, but remember to be polite."
"Okay, thank you, boss~"
Qin Mengqiu's face turned red with excitement, her eyes filled with the joy of a fangirl.
As they were talking, Qin Mengqiu suddenly said, "Boss, is that Wu Kai over there?"
Chen Jianhai turned to look and saw that there were already two people standing on the beach. One was holding a phone, seemingly about to take a photo. The other, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and black pants, moved with a graceful yet powerful style, his hands like flowing water, his arms moving like whips, his back hand protecting his ribs, swinging his arms quickly and smoothly. He was performing a set of vigorous Tongbei Fist on the beach!
Chen Jianhai was stunned, unable to hold back his excitement. He stood up, clapping wildly and shouting, "Brother Kai, you are so cool!!!"
Qin Mengqiu looked at Chen Jianhai's excited expression in amazement.
He had just told her to be polite when chasing stars, yet here he was, jumping around like a monkey who had just seen a banana.
Wu Kai noticed the excited Chen Jianhai in the lobby. Normally, he would have smiled and nodded, then turned away.
But since he was in the hotel, it made sense to go say hello. With that thought, Wu Kai walked towards Chen Jianhai, smiling, "Hello, Boss Chen."
"Hello, hello!! Brother Kai, please sit and have some ginger tea!"
Chen Jianhai eagerly poured Wu Kai a cup of ginger tea.
Just now, Wu Kai's set of Tongbei Fist had completely won him over!
Damn, it was even cooler than on TV!
Wu Kai was not the type of star who liked to show off. He was known in the industry for being humble and friendly.
The island was sparsely populated and very quiet. Since he was on vacation, he chatted with Chen Jianhai.
Chen Jianhai asked curiously, "Brother Kai, your martial arts moves are so powerful. Why are the old men and women in the park so slow and soft in their moves?"
Wu Kai smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Modern martial arts training is mainly for fitness. The 24-form Tai Chi was never meant for elderly people to use for fighting. Even Yang Luchan, as skilled as he was, had to adapt his routines when teaching at the palace. The princes just wanted to live longer and digest their food better. You can't expect them to train hard in the extreme cold or heat."
Chen Jianhai admired, "I think Tongbei Fist looks the coolest! That left and right movement of Baguazhang and Tai Chi doesn't seem interesting."
Wu Kai said helplessly, "But if someone held a knife, your opponent would quickly turn into a bloody mess."
Chen Jianhai asked persistently, "Brother Kai, if you encountered a group of people, could you fight ten of them at once?"
Wu Kai was completely helpless, "If I encountered a group of people, of course, I would run. I'm not Qiao Feng. Who can fight their way through an entire mansion with their bare hands..."
...
The whole afternoon, despite being a seasoned actor, Wu Kai was talked to the point of a dry mouth by Chen Jianhai.
Fresh fruits, tea, and snacks were constantly served from the moment he sat at the table. As soon as one was finished, the waiter would quickly replace it with new items.
The hotel staff dared not take photos of Wu Kai privately, so they took turns delivering food to get a close encounter with their idol.
Finally, in the evening, the kitchen staff moved the barbecue grill and food outside, preparing for a beach barbecue.
Wu Kai suddenly froze, staring at something not far away.
"That chef is impressive!"
Chen Jianhai: ???
Following Wu Kai's gaze, Chen Jianhai saw Sheng Yupi handling fish as usual, his knife movements smooth and efficient.
"Boss Chen, your chef is extraordinary. His skills are profound!"
Wu Kai gave Chen Jianhai a meaningful look.
Chen Jianhai was increasingly confused, "How so?"
Wu Kai explained, "That chef has incredible wrist strength. His grip on the knife is extraordinarily steady, and his legs seem rooted to the ground. Without at least ten years of practice, it's impossible to achieve that level."
Chen Jianhai's eyes widened, "Really?"
Are my employees this talented?!
Wu Kai smiled, "You don't believe me? Call him over and ask."
"Sheng Yupi, come over here!" Chen Jianhai beckoned.
Sheng Yupi put down the knife, wiped his hands, and ran over, asking, "Boss, did you need something?"
"Have you practiced martial arts before?" Chen Jianhai cautiously asked.
Sheng Yupi's expression became guarded, hesitating for a moment before saying, "I practiced Hunyuan Pile for a few years..."
Damn!
Case solved...
No wonder he thought it was because the island air was too humid that Sheng Yupi had easily kicked open the employee dorm doors one night while drunk.
He never imagined that Yide had practiced Hunyuan Pile!
Ahhh! I'm amazing!!!
I've written 200 chapters!
Damn...
Back in the day, I wouldn't have even dared to imagine this.
