Chapter 304 Times Are Tough
Although Ye Fei was very reluctant to fight, he could only do what he was told in this case.
"Please Mr. Ye, show your mercy!"
Zhao Hongshuo tightly clenched his fists, then with a loud shout, he suddenly rushed forward and stretched out his right fist to hit Ye Fei’s chest.
"Okay!"
Ye Fei quickly stretched out his hand to block this attack.
The power behind his punch was strong, but Ye Fei stood still, and then Zhao Hongshuo stepped back.
If Zhao Hongshuo did not have a bit of real kung fu skill, he obviously would not have won the any tournaments in the army. Ye Fei could tell from this single punch that he did have some clear ability. However, the gap between his skills and Ye Fei’s was rather wide.
Zhao Hongshuo was a little sad, because if this was a match, he would have lost already.
However, this wasn’t a match, so he couldn't care about that. Keeping Ye Fei’s strength in mind, he shouted again, then stuck his left foot to the ground and slammed his right elbow toward Ye Fei’s chest.
"Bajiquan!" Ye Fei cried out in surprise. He recognized Zhao Hongshuo's kung fu. Bajiquan was a famous style in China. There were a lot of different fist positions in fighting, but most people thought of bajiquan when they thought of remarkable fist fighting. A grand master of martial arts, Li Shuwen, had become famous fighting in the bajiquan style.
Zhao Hongshuo’s attack was very powerful. At that moment, Ye Fei did not dare to block his attack directly but instead immediately stepped two steps back.
Then he used both of his hands to grab the man’s arms, and at the same time, he used his shoulder to bump against him.
Zhao Hongshuo felt an extremely powerful force before he processed what was happening, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. But he was not weak at all, and his reflexes were quick. His left hand immediately flew down and blocked Ye Fei’s attack.
But Zhao Hongshuo still underestimated Ye Fei’s power. He still flew backward and slammed into the glass door, shattering it.
"Squad leader!" Zhao Tie cried out in surprise and he hurriedly went to help Zhao Hongshuo up.
Zhao Hongshuo's face turned red, then he took several deep breaths and tried to stop his bleeding.
He knew Ye Fei hadn’t exerted all of his strength, otherwise, he would have been sent to the hospital.
Zhao Hongshuo was shocked. To tell the truth, when he first saw Ye Fei, he thought that he was too young to have defeated the grand master Yang Huaiyuan. He thought Ye Fei may have been the subject of some intense rumors.
So, when he began to fight with Ye Fei, he was a little cocky, but now that he’d been defeated in such a short time, he felt admiration for the young man. "Mr. Ye, you really are a military genius! I can't beat you."
Ye Fei smiled and said sincerely, "You are very good. But, I'm sorry."
Lin Qingwan, Zhao Tie and Zhao Hongshuo did not understand this apology. They thought maybe Ye Fei felt bad about wounding the man. However, Xu Haifeng, Da Wu and Xiao Wu understood, and their faces turned red instantly.
They knew that if not for Ye Fei’s loyalty, their work prospects would have been doomed instantly. The reason Ye Fei apologized was because he was robbing these veterans of work.
"Who else are you going to fight with, Ye Fei?" Lin Qingwan asked.
The other veterans looked at each other and shook their heads. They knew Zhao Hongshou was the strongest among them. If he couldn’t defeat Ye Fei, they certainly wouldn’t be able to.
"In that case, I’ve seen everything I need to see. Please wait for my decision," Lin Qingwan said as she waved her hand dismissively.
The four veterans followed Zhao Tie out.
"Manager Lin wants us to wait for the news, what does that mean?" Tang Ye asked eagerly.
"I think maybe Manager Lin will recruit us. Our squad leader’s kung fu is really great! But the young man was even better!" another veteran said.
"Alas, you've never been in a company. If the manager tells you to wait to hear back, she’s just turning you down gently." Zhao Tie sighed. "Your luck was poor. If Ye Fei wasn’t here, I think Manager Lin would have recruited you."
"Don't be sad, you tried your best. It's just our fate. As for work, we’ll figure something out," Zhao Hongshuo said consolingly as he patted Zhao Tie's shoulder.
"Damn, why is it so hard to find a job? We soldiers have defended our country for so many years, but now we’re unemployed," Zhao Tie said bitterly.
"Forget it. After all, times are different. Many college graduates can’t find jobs now either. It’s just the way things are,” Zhao Hongshuo said.
"Don't think about this anymore. Come on, let's go. I’ll treat you to a meal," Zhao Tie said. He’d been out of the army for a few years, but he still was only employed as a security guard earning a couple thousand yuan a month.
-----
Ye Fei stood at the huge French windows, lit a cigarette, and watched the veterans walk out of the Ya Lai Group building. He felt a little guilty.
If not for the central leader giving him a chance, Ye Fei would be in the same position as these veterans.
Unlike Ye Fei, Xu Haifeng, Da Wu and Xiao Wu were all very excited.
After Lin Qingwan went to her office, Ye Fei began teaching them the basics of their new job.
