âHmm, itâs similar to a merchantâs store!â Wang Ke explained.
âShop? Then why donât you just call it God Wang Store?â The concept piqued Zhang Zhengdaoâs curiosity.
âNo, Iâm going to call it God Wang Company! How can other peopleâs stores be compared to my company? They are stuck in the ignorant primitive stage. Meanwhile, my company will be managed with modern methods; my company will be beyond comparison!â Wang Ke explained with dead seriousness.
âGod Wang Company? Then what do you plan to sell?â Zhang Zhengdao asked.
âI can sell anything! Financial plans, saving plans, loans, stocks, firearms, logistics, deliveries, booking cars; whatever earns money! Anything goes!â Wang Ke answered.
âWhat are all those things? Why canât I understand any of them?â Zhang Zhengdao felt lost after hearing all the unfamiliar terms.
âOf course you canât understand! Because I have yet to start selling!â Wang Ke said confidently.
âBut, I have never heard of a company. Have you opened one before? Donât lose money in the end!â Zhang Zhengdao warned him.
âOf course, Iâve opened a company before. Thereâs also no way Iâd lose money!â Wang Ke replied in disdain.
He had a company back on Earth! And he didnât use âmerchant storeâ to name his company as a sign of reminiscence.
There could come a day when this company opens a branch back on Earth! Wang Keâs eyes glowed with hopefulness.
âWhen do we start then?â Zhang Zhengdao asked, also looking forward to it.
âHold on a bit!â Wang Ke shook his head and said, âIâm still designing the first product.â
âDesign?â Zhang Zhengdao was lost again.
âYou wouldnât understand it even if I explained it to you! Donât waste so much breath! I will let you try being a manager when Iâm satisfied with the design! You will be tasked with expanding the market. Although you donât have thick enough skin, itâs still rather durable! I can make good use of you!â Wang Ke said.
âWhatâs a manager?â
âItâs something like the main shopkeeper. Why do you have so many questions? If you donât want to do it, just forget it!â Wang Ke said as he shot him with a stare.
âNo, donât please. As long as I can rake in some money, I can do anything!â Zhang Zhengdao quickly showed his determination.
But he didnât really want to become the main shopkeeper; he only wanted to learn how Wang Ke would make money with reputation alone. Once I learn, why would I still work for you? My skin is so thick, what can you do to me?
Just when the two were discussing how to open a company, there was a ringing sound coming from somewhere near the foot of the Sword-study Peak. It became louder as time passed.
âWhatâs going on?â Zhang Zhengdao walked to the platform and looked down.
âWang Ke, I think youâre in trouble!â Zhang Zhengdao cried out in shock.
âTrouble?â Wang Ke sat up from his deck chair.
âHundreds of Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples are swarming up the mountain. Murong Luguang is leading them; that old brat is here for trouble again. He looks really aggressive, like heâs about to eat you up!â Zhang Zhengdao told Wang Ke what he saw.
Wang Ke was taken aback, âMurong Luguang?â
Murong Luguang had already stepped into the Sword-study Square while Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao were trying to figure out what was happening.
âWhoosh, whoosh, whoosh!â
The Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples swiftly leaped up to the peak; it was only a matter of a few steps for immortal sect disciples to climb a peak.
âWhere is Wang Ke?â Murong Luguang shouted.
âWhere is Wang Ke!â his followers echoed angrily.
Zhang Zhengdao: ââŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ..!â
Wang Ke took off his shades and said, âMurong Luguang, they didnât see me before, but how is it that you canât recognize me? Whatâs all this fuss about?â
An unexpected voice came from the crowd, âYeah, Murong Luguang, are you shouting loudly just to boast about how awesome you are? This is the Sword-study Peak, not the East Wolf Peak!â
Zhang Zhengdao was stunned. Who is speaking on Wang Keâs behalf?
And next, he saw a rather handsome and plump man walking toward them and then stand guard in front of Wang Ke. That was the man who chided Murong Luguang.
A little fatty?
Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao looked at each other in dismay. Who is this guy?
âTie Liuyun, this has nothing to do with you. Move aside!â Murong Luguang demanded.
âHow is this not related to me? Junior brother Wangâs matter is also my matter! Murong Luguang, if you want to act recklessly just because you are the eldest apprentice-brother, then forgive me for not showing you respect!â the little fatty Tie Liuyun berated with determined eyes.
That took Zhang Zhengdao by surprise. This Tie Liuyun is bold! He is but a junior, yet he dares to defy the eldest apprentice-brother.
âThis is so strange. Wang Ke, I didnât expect any disciple to stand by your side,â Zhang Zhengdao said in amazement.
âWell, I have a good relationship with people!â Wang Ke said as he stood up.
Ptoeyy! Wang Ke, thatâs just bullsh*t.
But the next scene turned Zhang Zhengdaoâs mind upside down.
He saw another group of Heavenly Wolf Sectâs disciples standing by Tie Liuyunâs side to protect Wang Ke while staring at Murong Luguang.
One of the disciples asked, âEldest apprentice-brother, did you act with this little restraint while we werenât in the Heavenly Wolf Sect? Are you going to disregard the Heavenly Wolf Sectâs rules? You barged into the Sword-study Peak without getting permission from the respective Hall Lords?â
âTie Liuyun! Are you really going to oppose me? To stubbornly protect Wang Ke?â Murong Luguang asked coldly.
âYes, thatâs right. Whoever wants to trouble Wang Ke must step over my body!â the fatty Tie Liuyun said.
âMe too!â
âAnd me!â
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ..
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ
âŠâŠâŠâŠ.
A crowd of people stood by Tie Liuyunâs side, blocking Murong Luguangâs way.
There seemed to be many of Tie Liuyunâs followers. As Tie Liuyun and Murong Luguang stood in opposition, the other disciples were split in two factions with a similar number of people.
Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Ke in disbelief. âThis is unbelievable! How is it that this many disciples are protecting you? This shouldnât be!â
Why do they want to protect this shameless Wang Ke?Damn, how long has it been since Wang Ke joined the Heavenly Wolf Sect?Itâs only been a few months, and mostly outside the sect. If he were to stay for a few years, the Heavenly Wolf Sect would probably change its name to Wang Wolf Sect!
âThis, uhh, senior apprentice-brother Tie? Do I know you?â Wang Ke stepped forward and looked at Tie Liuyun with an awkward expression.
Tie Liuyun looked back at him and said, âJunior brother, itâs me. You donât recognize me anymore?â
âYou areâŠ?â Wang Ke was curious.
Tie Liuyun answered expectantly, âAfter I came back two weeks ago, I heard that you had just gone through a breakup and wanted to spend some time alone, thatâs why I told everyone not to disturb you. It was only today when I heard that our eldest apprentice-brother wanted to cause trouble for you; thatâs why I called everyone to come. Itâs me! Take another look!â
âJunior brother Wang, heâs our second senior apprentice!â another disciple explained with a smile.
âSecond senior apprentice? Ahh, you really changed a lot! Itâs only been a few weeks; you gained that much weight? I couldnât recognize you!â Wang Ke was surprised.
Tie Liuyun patted his chest and promised, âHaha, junior brother Wang, itâs not too late to recognize me! I heard about the grudge between our eldest apprentice-brother and you. Donât worry, you wonât be bullied with us around!â
