My God, even a cow can’t be this majestic, right? Seeing the two lumps of flesh on the chest of the tall white woman in front of him, Zheng Yubai almost suffocated.

Next to the white woman was a woman in her thirties who was dressed in fancy clothes. It was obvious that she was a prostitute. When she saw Zheng Yubai, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Xiao Zheng is really young, handsome and promising. He became an administrator at such a young age. He has a bright future. I am Sister Hua from Lan Kwai Fong. I am here to bring you a girl."

Although Zheng Yubai's personality is a bit dull at times, he is not stupid. The administrator here changes every few days. This Hua Jie is full of nonsense, just like when you meet a gangster, you must say "I have heard of you for a long time" to someone you have never heard of. You don't have to take it to heart.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Hua." Zheng Yubai smiled politely.

"Humble, humble!" Sister Hua laughed heartily, "I'll need your continued care in the future, Xiao Zheng."

Zheng Yubai finally sent away Sister Hua, who was chattering and flattering him non-stop, and then led the cow to the room.

"Come with me." Zheng Yubai wanted to say a few words in English, but then he thought that he didn't know which country this cow was from, so he decided not to make things worse.

When he arrived at the old man's room, he was already waiting impatiently. However, when he saw the cow's magnificent bust, he smiled, waved his hand to drive Zheng Yubai away, and slammed the door.

Damn old man... Zheng Yubai shook his head and returned to the office.

It was already late, and everyone in the activity hall had gone back to their rooms. Zheng Yubai turned off the TV slot machines. He also cleaned up the card table, billiard table and bar. The clock had already pointed to 1 o'clock. According to Cao Ji, he would be responsible for the night shift from 8 pm to 8 am the next day.

I didn't expect that my first job would require me to work day and night. Zheng Yubai sighed and looked around the huge hall to see that there was no one there. He suddenly became interested.

This place is perfect for practicing boxing. According to the rules of the older generation of Xingyiquan masters, boxing must be practiced in a place surrounded by walls in the dead of night. If the place is spacious, it would be even better. Zheng Yubai has never found such a place since he came to Jinghai, and the hall in front of him happens to be one.

Since it was a long night and I couldn't sleep, I might as well practice boxing. When boxing is practiced to a certain level, not only will you not feel tired, but it will be beneficial to your body and mind, which is more useful than sleeping. Zheng Yubai took off his coat, unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, and started practicing with the splitting fist.

Xingyiquan is closely related to the Five Elements. The order of the Five Elements is gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which corresponds exactly to the five types of boxing in Xingyiquan: Pi, Beng, Zuan, Pao, Heng. The so-called Xing refers to the twelve types of boxing: dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, chicken, kite, swallow, snake, crocodile, eagle and bear. These are just the basic boxing methods, and there are various changes in them, which are complicated. However, the word "Yi" does not deviate from the thousands of changes.

The intention comes before the thought. Once you have the artistic conception, the boxing skills will come naturally. This is what Zheng Yubai's father told him on the first day he learned boxing. At the beginning, Zheng Yubai was just a child, so how could he understand what artistic conception was. However, after so many years of boxing practice, he has gained a deep understanding.

Xingyiquan is an internal martial art that trains internal strength. This internal strength is not trained in the way described in martial arts novels, but is completely accumulated from various movements during boxing practice. Xingyiquan follows the Taoist path of "refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into Taoism", which has a huge impact on people's spirit, energy and spirit.

Once he started practicing, Zheng Yubai's temperament was different from usual. In the past, he always looked listless, but if someone who really knew about it, they would find that he had an inexplicable spirit. His usual dullness was entirely because Zheng Yubai deliberately kept his spirit inward and shielded his aura. Now that he opened up his pores, he looked energetic and radiant, and his demeanor and bearing were completely different.

Dragon waist, bear arms, eagle claws, tiger head hugs, thunder sound. These are the characteristics of Xingyiquan. Zheng Yubai is like this at the moment. He set his posture and threw out a set of chopping punches. His momentum was like a rainbow watching the sun, or like a fire burning the sky. In the agitated fist wind, a buzzing sound could be heard faintly from his body. That was the sign of the initial formation of thunder sound.

According to the theory of mutual generation of the Five Elements, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. According to this theory of mutual generation, Piquan generates Zuanquan, Zuanquan generates Bengquan, Bengquan generates Paoquan, Paoquan generates Hengquan, and all things in the world begin with earth, so Hengquan can generate all kinds of fists. According to the theory of mutual restraint of the Five Elements, metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains metal. Therefore, Piquan restrains Bengquan, Bengquan restrains Hengquan, Hengquan restrains Piquan, Piquan restrains Paoquan, and Paoquan restrains Piquan.

It is precisely because of this kind of mutual promotion and restraint that Xingyiquan has become a profound and extensive system.

After Zheng Yubai finished a set of split punches, he felt refreshed all over, and immediately followed up with a drill punch. Compared with the split punch, the drill punch requires training of footwork and leg strength, which is of great benefit to the waist and kidneys. After finishing a set of drill punches, he continued to punch according to the principle of mutual generation until he finished the horizontal punch.

If a Xingyi boxer has mastered the horizontal fist, then it can be said that Xingyi boxing has achieved some success. After that, if he studies a boxing style that he likes and practices it for a long time, he will naturally achieve something. The Xingyi boxing master Guo Yunshen of the past was good at collapsing fist and had the reputation of conquering the world with half-step collapsing fist; Sun Lutang was good at light body kung fu and was nicknamed "living monkey"; Shang Yunxiang had amazing leg strength and was nicknamed "Iron-footed Buddha" in the martial arts world. However, in addition to their special kung fu, they are all all-round top martial artists and can be called the great masters of Xingyi boxing who carry on the past and usher in the future.

Zheng Yubai finished a set of Xingyiquan without a drop of sweat on his body. This is the performance of Xingyiquan being practiced to a high level, and the spirit and energy during boxing are all internalized into the body and transformed into internal strength. Only in this way can you practice boxing at the same time, which is also the difference between beginners and masters.

He glanced at the watch and saw that it was already midnight. He had practiced this set of boxing for more than an hour. After practicing boxing, Zheng Yubai felt refreshed, and it was a good time to continue reading the manual.

As soon as I walked into the office and picked up the manual, the call bell rang loudly. There was no picture on the monitor, only the room number was displayed. It was the room number of the old man who had just hired a prostitute.

Zheng Yubai rushed to the door of the room, and the other rooms were quiet. Because of the good sound insulation system, they had no idea what was happening outside.

When he opened the door, the first thing Zheng Yubai saw was the panic-stricken look of the big cow. She was naked and when she saw Zheng Yubai, she started talking in some unknown language.

Zheng Yubai's face turned red, but this was not the time to be shy. He pretended not to see the cow's two big breasts, and had no time to look at her naked lower body. When he looked at the bed, he saw the old man who was bossing people around just now was now staring with eyes wide open and foaming at the mouth.

“Isn’t he going to have a stroke soon?” Zheng Yubai pushed the cow away and reached out to touch the old man’s neck.

Fortunately, there was still a slight heartbeat, which meant that the patient could still be saved. Zheng Yubai rushed back to the office and called the designated doctor, then immediately returned to the room.

The cow was so frightened that her face turned pale. She kept pointing to the sky and the ground, as if praying. Zheng Yubai had no time to pay attention to her. He checked her heartbeat again and it was getting weaker and weaker, and her pupils were gradually dilating. Judging from this situation, this old guy might have been too excited and had a cerebral hemorrhage.

The doctor would not arrive for at least five minutes, and it might be too late. Zheng Yubai had no choice but to put his palms together, hook his fingers together, and thrust his two index fingers into the old man's chest.

This was a heart-stimulating technique passed down by Zheng Yubai's family. It could be used to hurt the enemy or to save people. With this finger, the energy penetrated into the old man's body and activated the meridians around his heart. Sure enough, his heartbeat became strong again.

A moment later, the doorbell rang and Zheng Yubai hurriedly brought the doctor in.

"Cerebral hemorrhage." The doctor made a judgment immediately after seeing the symptoms.

"what to do?"

"The car is right downstairs. Send him to our hospital for emergency treatment. I hope he survives." The doctor shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

The car sped away. Zheng Yubai scratched his head. It was not a good sign that a customer had a cerebral hemorrhage on his first day at work.

I spent the night in a state of anxiety. The next morning, the chickens arrived early.

"Brother Caoji, who was the guest from yesterday?" Zheng Yubai hurried over and asked.

"Hang up..." Caoji said in annoyance, "I was scolded by the boss. But this old guy is such a jerk. He still looks for call girls at such an old age. Damn, those two big breasts are enough to suffocate him to death."

Zheng Yubai finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Cao Ji scolding him without asking about his responsibility.

"Don't worry, kid. It's not your fault. Just pay some money to his family." Cao Ji cursed, "We can't control this kind of thing."

Having said that, upon learning of their companion's death, the faces of the other two old men in the Sanjiang Society immediately turned pale. After asking the reason, they stared at Zheng Yubai coldly, as if he was the one who killed the old man.

"Uncle Bing and Uncle Pao, we will discuss the compensation issue with the family. Although this was an accident and the responsibility does not lie with the management of our apartment, we will still compensate according to the contract." Cao Ji said to the two old guys with a smile.

"Hmph..." The old guys swung their sleeves and walked away. Zheng Yubai looked at their backs and knew that the days ahead would be difficult.

Cao Ji sighed and patted Zheng Yubai on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, go home and rest, and come to take over at 8 o'clock in the evening."

Zheng Yubai walked out of the building and looked back at the building that was no different from other buildings. He looked at the 17th floor and could not find anything special. After experiencing this one night, Zheng Yubai knew that the world was full of wonders that he did not know yet, waiting to be discovered.

The curtain of the stage of life is slowly opening, and a legend is about to unfold. (To be continued)
