Since becoming the manager of this apartment, he has met too many strange people. They are floating between the law and morality, and it is hard to tell whether they are good or evil. For Zheng Yubai, who was strictly disciplined by his father since childhood and followed the rules of Xingyiquan, he was not psychologically adapted at first. After all, he only planned to use this job as a stepping stone from the very beginning, and then find a proper job in the future and become an ordinary person.

But after getting to know these guests, Zheng Yubai's mentality gradually changed. For many years, he had lived a dull life, fearing that the fact that he had kung fu skills would be leaked. He seemed to have gotten used to the days of obscurity and blandness. But after these few days of experience, he suddenly found that he liked the exciting life.

Drivers, swindlers, killers, liars and gangsters, everyone in the apartment has a legendary story. Zheng Yubai thought about it and hoped to have a colorful life like them.

"How can I keep doing this job? It seems pretty good." Zheng Yubai thought to himself.

"I can't forget the first time I saw you, your charming eyes. In my mind, your figure can't be dispelled..." The phone rang. This was an old phone that Zheng Yubai used to contact his family and friends. He took it out of his pocket and saw Ding Beibei's number on it.

"Hello?" Zheng Yubai answered the phone with a little excitement.

"Is this Zheng Yubai? I'm Ding Beibei." Ding Beibei's clear voice like a lark came from the receiver.

"It's me." Zheng Yubai immediately recalled the memories of his college days. At that time, Ding Beibei always liked to wear a white dress and read under a big tree on campus. Zheng Yubai would sometimes deliberately walk past her on the path and secretly glance at her. It was a pity that he was an unknown country bumpkin at that time, while Ding Beibei was a beautiful and charming school beauty with countless suitors. There seemed to be a natural gap between the two, and it was difficult for them to intersect in life.

"You didn't forget your date this weekend, did you?" Ding Beibei asked.

When Zheng Yubai was reminded by her, he remembered that after helping Ding Beibei get her handbag back that day, Ding Beibei asked him to have dinner with her this weekend in order to compensate for the work clothes that Zheng Yubai lost.

"Yes, I haven't forgotten." Zheng Yubai said, he was very much looking forward to it.

"But I have some changes here..." Ding Beibei's words made Zheng Yubai feel cold. Fortunately, he has an open-minded personality and doesn't care too much.

"If you don't have time, forget it." Zheng Yubai said hurriedly.

"That's not what I meant. There's a class reunion this weekend." Ding Beibei said, "Didn't anyone notify you?"

"Class reunion?" Zheng Yubai was stunned. It seemed that no one had notified him.

"The students who stayed in Jinghai are planning to get together this weekend. I think we'll meet up anyway, so why not go shopping together before the party and then go to the party together?"

"Of course." This was a good thing that was beyond Zheng Yubai's expectation. Although he was more introverted in college and rarely participated in class activities, after entering society, he missed his classmates a lot.

"That's settled then. We'll meet at the Meihua Building at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and then go to the party together in the afternoon." Ding Beibei said happily.

"Okay, it's settled." Zheng Yubai said goodbye and hung up the phone.

"Oh no... am I in love with her?" Zheng Yubai suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken. This was not a good thing for a martial artist.

"What are you grinning at?" Zheng Yubai was just thinking about the conversation just now. Du Bisheng pushed the door open and immediately saw him grinning foolishly.

"Nothing." Zheng Yubai scratched his head and quickly covered it up.

Du Bisheng looked like an experienced person and laughed wickedly: "Look at how infatuated you are. You must have fallen for some girl."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zheng Yubai hurriedly changed the subject, "Isn't it time to learn the third move today?"

"You learn the Chaos Palm so quickly. You are indeed a genius. If you are willing to join Qianmen, you will definitely be an immortal legend. Do you want to consider it again?" These past two days, Du Bisheng has been trying to persuade Zheng Yubai to join Qianmen. Who knows whether he does it to glorify his family or just wants to find a free bodyguard.

"Don't think about it..." Zheng Yubai dealt with Du Bisheng helplessly.

"Oh, what a pity. Forget it, let's not talk about this. What I want to teach you today is how to smile."

"A sweet smile?" Zheng Yubai thought he had misheard.

"It's just a sweet smile." Du Bisheng said, and suddenly an unfathomable mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Zheng Yubai looked at him and suddenly realized something: "Are you saying that smiling is also a trick?"

"The Finger of Insight and the Palm of Chaos are just hand techniques. The real trick doesn't require hands at all, but relies on here." Du Bisheng pointed to his head. "From today on, I will teach you more advanced tricks. You must study hard."

Before eight o'clock, Cao Ji came to take over. He brought Zheng Yubai two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The D-level apartment is full and cannot accept new guests for the time being, so Qiao and Xue can only continue to live here for the time being. This is bad news.

The good news is that although Yao Qian's men have begun offering a reward in Jinghai City to find the person who raced with Yao Feng, they don't seem to be aware of Qiao Xue's identity. The company's top management still rated Qiao Xue and his security level as E, and it is clear that they don't think Yao Qian can handle an E-level security apartment.

"The company is confident, so don't worry." Caoji knew that Zheng Yubai and Qiao Xue had a good relationship, so he comforted him, "Although the level here is low, the safety factor is good enough, and the fee is only half of that of D-level. Stay here for a few more days, and move to another city after the storm has passed. Even if Yao Qian has great power and eyes, he won't be able to do anything about it."

"Thank you, Brother Caoji." Zheng Yubai said gratefully.

"Why are you being polite? We are colleagues now, and we should take care of each other." Cao Ji patted Zheng Yubai's shoulder, "Find a day off some other time, and I'll take you to meet other brothers in the company. I'm very optimistic about you, don't let me down."

Zheng Yubai agreed repeatedly. He looked at the time and it was already eight o'clock. He had to meet Ding Beibei at Meihua Building later. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Caoji and go home, Qiye came over leisurely. (To be continued)
