Chapter 15 Shang Wende

Lu Feng smiled and said, "Brother Gu, you're being too polite. If you're short on money, you don't have to pay it back so urgently. I still have some money."

"This isn't about being polite. I'm telling the truth."

Gu Hongfeng said with a serious expression, exuding a strong sense of simplicity.

Lu Feng smiled and didn't say anything more.

After helping Gu Hongfeng's family move their luggage back, Lu Feng returned to his room, casually picked up a book about acupuncture, and started flipping through it. He was going to meet Shang Wende tomorrow, so he wanted to prepare more knowledge to try to make a good impression. Even if he couldn't become an apprentice, finding a well-paying job would be a good thing for him now. At least, it could solve his current food and clothing problems.

********************

In a brightly lit villa on the other side of Jiyang City, Gao Chengzhi smashed the tea sets on the tea table to pieces with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with deep hatred. For many years, he hadn't been humiliated like this today. It was simply a blatant slap in the face. What he couldn't stand the most was that the person who humiliated him was someone he had once insulted and looked down upon!

Asking himself, he admitted that he wasn't a match for Lu Feng, and the other party was extremely powerful. But thinking that just two months ago, that guy was just a person with a body as stiff as a piece of wood and extremely uncoordinated movements. How could he be like a completely different person in just two months? Just thinking about it made him feel indignant. He knew he had absolute parkour talent, but today, in front of that person, he was nothing!

Lu Feng, I won't let you continue to be arrogant. Just wait for the humiliation after your crushing defeat!

Gao Chengzhi took out a cigarette, lit one, took a few hard puffs, then threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out fiercely. In his heart, he regarded the cigarette butt as Lu Feng. He wanted to trample on Lu Feng so that Lu Feng would be afraid at the mere thought of him!

Gao Chengzhi's eyes were full of hatred and determination, and more importantly, a kind of madness. He reached out and grabbed the mobile phone on the sofa beside him, quickly dialed a phone number:

"Hello, is that Brother Xu? This is Gao Chengzhi!"

Gao Chengzhi's voice was full of flattery.

"What's the matter? Are you idle and have nothing to do at this late hour? If you have something to say, say it quickly." The person answering the phone on the other end of the line was obviously a bit short-tempered and said impatiently, with a strong sense of arrogance in his tone.

A trace of anger and viciousness flashed across Gao Chengzhi's face, but he didn't show it in his voice. He continued to flatter, "Today, an arrogant brat said he wanted to challenge you. We laughed at his arrogance, and then that brat had a competition with our six people. As a result, we all lost. Before leaving, that brat said that parkour is a piece of garbage, and if you don't fight, you're a coward! These are his exact words, not something I made up on purpose."

"What?!"

The other person's voice suddenly rose several decibels, and it was obvious that he was full of anger.

But the other person didn't speak directly. Instead, he paused for a few seconds, and then asked in a low, angry voice, "Did you say he challenged all six of you alone?"

"Yes, and it was a successive attack. This kid has good endurance and also good skills."

Gao Chengzhi didn't tell lies. He was looking for someone who could beat Lu Feng. He didn't need someone who couldn't win!

"One person challenged six people. Hehe, interesting. But parkour isn't just about endurance. If you want me to fight, give me 50,000 yuan. Xiao Gao, don't think I don't know what you're up to. For 50,000 yuan, I'll teach him a lesson for you!"

50,000 yuan?!

Anger immediately appeared on Gao Chengzhi's face.

This guy actually dares to ask for an exorbitant price.

50,000 yuan was not a small amount for him. Although his family was wealthy, his living expenses were also quite a lot, but no matter how much living expenses he had, it wasn't enough for his lavish spending. Now he only had 30,000 yuan on him and simply couldn't afford 50,000 yuan.

"Brother Xu, I really don't have any other intentions. It's really that brat who insulted you. I'm not lying to you."

Gao Chengzhi tried again, hoping that Wei Xu would believe him.

"Hmph! Don't play tricks on me. I'm not falling for that. No matter who it is, if you want me to fight, bring 50,000 yuan. Otherwise, forget it!"

Wei Xu's tone was very firm.

"Can it be less, Brother Xu? 50,000 yuan is not a small amount."

Anger welled up in Gao Chengzhi's heart, but he still suppressed his anger.

"No less. Don't be so wishy-washy. Just tell me whether it's okay or not. If not, don't disturb my sleep!"

There came Wei Xu's irritable voice from the other end of the line, with a faint hint of disdain.

Gao Chengzhi gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said loudly, "Okay, it's 50,000 yuan. I'll pay half of the deposit before the competition, and the remaining half will be given to you after the competition."

Wei Xu snorted coldly and said indifferently, "I'll call you when I'm done."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone directly, showing an overbearing attitude.

Gao Chengzhi angrily threw his mobile phone onto the sofa. He knew Wei Xu very well. The other person was a main player in a provincial parkour team. In order to learn parkour skills specifically, he even went abroad to seek a master. After returning to China the year before last, he was extremely glorious. With his skills, he was sure to be able to beat that kid named Lu Feng!

As for Wei Xu, he actually spoke to him so arrogantly. Just wait, I will one day stand above you all!

Gao Chengzhi thought resentfully and lit another cigarette. Now, he just had to wait for Wei Xu to free up some time.

********************

In the morning, Lu Feng woke up after a good night's sleep, washed up, went to a nearby breakfast stall and casually ate something, and then went to the address written on the business card.

Soon, Lu Feng came to a small alley called Tianyuan Hutong, which was a sparsely populated alley.

Walking into the alley, Lu Feng looked at the pedestrians who occasionally passed by him and felt puzzled.

There were obviously very few people in this alley. But opening a medical clinic here, how could there be many patients coming to seek treatment? Could it be that this is an unlicensed medical clinic, a black medical clinic?

However, thinking of the influence of the old man who gave him the business card, his doubts immediately vanished. He was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the medical clinic in such a place.

Finally, according to the address on the business card, Lu Feng found the medical clinic in an inconspicuous place in the alley.

"Hello. Are you here to see a doctor or buy medicine?"

Seeing Lu Feng looking around outside the door, a young man in his mid-twenties greeted him warmly.

"Hello. My name is Lu Feng. I'm here to see Doctor Shang Wende. Is Doctor Shang in?" Lu Feng said politely. He wasn't so stupid as to think that the person in front of him was Shang Wende.

"You're looking for my master? Just tell me what's the matter! I'll convey it for you."

The smile on the young man's face remained unchanged, but he was puzzled in his heart. Since the young man in front of him could say his master's name, he must be here to seek medical treatment. But no matter how he looked at the other person, he didn't seem to be sick. You know, he had been an apprentice here for two years and knew many kinds of symptoms. In another year, he might be officially accepted as a disciple, and then he could learn the secret art of acupuncture, which he had been dreaming of!

Master?

Lu Feng immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him and immediately said apologetically, "So you're Doctor Shang's excellent disciple. I'm sorry for my rudeness. An old man asked me to come here, and I'm not really sure what's going on."

Since he hadn't figured out the situation yet, Lu Feng wouldn't say that he was here to check the situation and was considering becoming an apprentice.

So he was recommended to come here for medical treatment!

The doubts in the young man's heart were immediately cleared up. This place wasn't known to just anyone, and the patients treated here were all acquaintances. It made sense that the young man in front of him had found this place through an introduction. Moreover, the young man's words "excellent disciple" made him feel very pleased.

"Then please come in. My master is currently writing a prescription in the inner hall."

With that, the young man led Lu Feng into the medical clinic.

Lu Feng entered the medical clinic and looked around. The medical clinic was quite formal, especially the business license hanging in the hall, which made him feel more at ease. The various silk banners on the wall and even the silk banners piled up on the ground made him very excited.

Moreover, the layout of the medical clinic was very reasonable and exquisite, far beyond what the medical clinic he used to be in could compare with.

It seemed that Shang Wende really had real skills. It wasn't a waste of time coming here today!

"Who's looking for me?"

At this time, a loud voice came from the inner hall. This voice seemed to have a kind of magic that could bring a trace of warmth to people.

Could he hear our conversation from such a distance? Just now, they were outside the door, and there was a long distance between the outside and the inner hall, and one was outside and the other was inside!

Lu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

"Master, it's this young man named Lu Feng."

The young man quickly stepped forward, pointed at Lu Feng, and then said respectfully.

Hearing this, Shang Wende sized up Lu Feng and asked in confusion, "What do you want from me?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng quickly took out the business card from his pocket and handed it over respectfully, saying, "Hello. You must be Doctor Shang Wende, right? My name is Lu Feng. An old grandpa asked me to give this to you. He hopes that I can consult you about some questions regarding acupuncture."

Seeing the business card in Lu Feng's hand, a trace of surprise appeared in Shang Wende's eyes. While taking the business card, he couldn't help but size up Lu Feng a few more times. Then he carefully looked at the business card Lu Feng handed over, and then nodded with a strange expression on his face, saying, "That's right. Since Lao Wang sent you here, I can't drive you away. I'm not available at the moment. You can choose to leave, or you can stay here and wait until I'm free. It might be three or four days, or it might be one or two months. It's up to you whether you stay or leave."

"I'll stay!"

Lu Feng immediately said firmly. He could tell what Shang Wende meant. This clearly meant that he was allowed to stay here, and he could stay for a few months. If he left now, he would be a big fool!

This was also a good opportunity to see if Shang Wende was really suitable to be his master during this period.

Hearing this, Shang Wende didn't show any signs of satisfaction or dissatisfaction on his face. He just nodded and then turned around and walked into the inner hall.
