Chapter 88 It's Fate

Snap, snap, snap—Snap, snap—

There was warm applause in the training hall.

An old man with white hair and beard, dressed in Tang suit, walked into the venue leisurely, surrounded by several bodyguards in black.

Manager Li and two other company executives served at his beck and call, nodding and bowing constantly.

All the employees of the club lined up neatly in several rows, like a guard of honor being reviewed, and welcomed the chairman with the warmest attitude.

The old man smiled and waved as he walked.

He doesn't look like he's acting like a big shot.

Fang Cheng also stood in the crowd and clapped his hands.

The seemingly ordinary rich man in front of you is the club's mysterious boss and the chairman who has not been seen for many years.

According to information revealed by colleagues, his surname should be Shen, and he may be a distant relative of coach Shen Haoming.

Manager Li seemed to have made a slip of the tongue and always addressed him respectfully as President Shen.

The old man walked up to the podium covered with a red carpet and slowly glanced down at the audience.

I wonder if this is an illusion?
Fang Cheng felt that his gaze seemed to linger on him for a second longer.

President Shen took the microphone that Manager Li offered him, and then went straight to the point:

"Thank you for your hard work. I am always relieved that the club has your support."

"Of course, the company will not treat you unfairly or ignore your hard work. I have already told Xiao Li that starting from March this year, everyone's salary will be increased by a certain percentage..."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.

The employees didn't even bother to maintain their appearance in front of the boss and were all whispering excitedly.

Manager Li reacted quickly, taking the lead and clapping vigorously.

Seeing this, others followed suit.

For a moment, there was thunderous applause mixed with cheers, which never stopped.

President Shen's style of doing things was straightforward. He simply drew a big picture and then made his final speech:
“I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve even better results in the new year!”

The big boss seemed to be very quiet, and as the supporting actor, Manager Li naturally couldn't let the atmosphere cool down.

He first followed President Shen's speech and took the opportunity to flatter him.

Then he gave an inspiring speech, showing the common vision between himself and the company.

If President Shen hadn't coughed, he could probably have talked for an hour without getting tired.

After the formal speech, the next part was the award ceremony for outstanding employees, which was what everyone was most concerned about.

Everyone whose name was called walked up to the stage and lined up, waiting for the boss to personally hand them a red envelope.

Fang Cheng ranked third and also stood in the line, waiting quietly.

"I've heard about your performance, young man. It's very good."

President Shen walked up to him, holding a red envelope in both hands and handed it to him solemnly.

Fang Cheng smiled, bowed, and politely took it with both hands.

At this moment, a bodyguard in black standing behind President Shen suddenly became extremely nervous, his eyes fixed on Fang Cheng.

This feeling is like a wild beast encountering a more ferocious species. Its hair stands on end and it instinctively becomes alert and defensive.

Fang Cheng was slightly surprised and glanced at the ordinary-looking bodyguard in black.

When I looked at him from a distance just now, there was nothing noteworthy about him.

When you get closer, you can vaguely sense a strong and fierce aura from him.

To use Ma Jianguo's words, this is a manifestation of a warrior's qi and blood being full and his appearance being shaped by his heart.

President Shen was very calm. He patted Fang Cheng's shoulder meaningfully and encouraged him:

"Keep working hard, maybe we'll meet again in the future."

Before Fang Cheng could figure out the meaning of this sentence, he walked towards the next outstanding employee.

Ten minutes later, the commendation meeting ended.

The chairman seemed to be very busy and left in a hurry after presenting the awards.

As a result, the club's top management's preparations for welcoming the boss' inspection were also scrapped.

However, the employees were in a relaxed mood, talking a lot, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Among them, several people who won the Outstanding Employee Award were particularly sought after.

There was also a group of people surrounding Fang Cheng, asking questions out of curiosity.

"Ah Cheng, has the chairman known you for a long time?"

"do not know."

Fang Cheng shook his head decisively. Obviously, President Shen's special treatment just now also attracted the attention of many people.

"Don't know him? Why do I feel like he looks at you like a grandfather looking at his grandson?"

A coach said doubtfully.

"Can you talk, man? If Fang Cheng is the chairman's grandson, he should be driving a luxury car and sitting in the manager's office instead of being a sparring partner."

Coach Xu came over and couldn't help but say something.

"That's hard to say. Haven't you seen the TV dramas where a rich young man starts out as a cleaner in his own company, then meets Cinderella and wins her heart..."

Fang Cheng shook his head speechlessly, blocking out the various speculations that became increasingly outrageous.

My guess is that Goro Majima and President Shen said some compliments to me back then, so they look at me differently today.

Thinking of this, he weighed the bulging red envelope in his hand.

You can feel the sense of fulfillment brought by a thick stack of money without having to count them specifically.

The method of directly depositing the bonus into the card is indeed not as intuitive and generous as this one.

Fang Cheng put the money away carefully.

The empty wallet suddenly became full.

I couldn't help but wonder how I should spend this bonus.

at the same time.

A row of expensive black cars filed out of the parking lot downstairs and drove onto the road one after another.

In the luxury car in the center, President Shen leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

"President, do you think that guy is trustworthy and worth investing in?"

The black-clad bodyguard sitting next to him asked respectfully.

“I don’t see any problem.”

President Shen did not open his eyes and said slowly: "I believe Mr. Majima's evaluation of him."

The bodyguard nodded in agreement:

"I have investigated his family background and life experience. Except for his father being a suspected murderer, everything else is clean..."

As he was speaking, the cell phone in his hand suddenly rang with a shrill tone.

He quickly pressed the answer button.

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

After hearing what was said, the bodyguard turned to look at the old man next to him, his expression somewhat hesitant:
"President, Aliang sent a message that another of the small gangs that depended on us was swallowed up by the Red Tiger Gang."

"Humph."

President Shen's eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of eyes that were sparkling with brilliance.

"If a tiger hides its claws for too long, it will be ignored. It's time for us to show our muscles..."

"But how should we deal with those masters with mysterious origins?"

Upon hearing this, President Shen frowned and rubbed his forehead:

"Let's go back and discuss it in detail."

....................................

Lingang District, second-hand market.

This place is close to the international port and is a mixed bag of people.

Not only are there many parallel-imported and counterfeit electronic products for sale, but there are also some high-risk and hugely profitable black industries hidden within.

After receiving a bonus of 20,000 yuan, Fang Cheng stayed in the club for another afternoon and took two sparring lessons.

In the evening, I took a taxi here, ready to exchange the second-hand phone I had originally rented for a full payment.

At this time, he had just come out of a communications store.

He was fiddling with the charger and other accessories that the store gave him as a gift.

When I looked up at the road, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure as strong as a bear out of the corner of my eye.

“Ma Dong Hyuk?”

Fang Cheng was a little surprised to meet him here and felt that the two of them were quite destined to be together.

Judging from the way he was looking around, it seemed he was looking for someone.

Just as he was about to step forward and say hello to him, Fang Cheng's eyes turned and suddenly froze.

Because at this time, there was a guy with a sneaky look behind Ma Dong Hyuk.

It seemed like he was being followed.
