Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

Chapter 73: No need for recruiting followers.

Lin Qingxia would occasionally visit him. Seeing how busy and fulfilling he was, she would praise him a few times. If he got off work early in the evening, Lin Qingxia would take Qin Weiming home with her.

If there wasn't enough time, then Brigitte Lin would have to work overtime to film, and naturally there would be no need for a kid like Qin Weiming. So he simply took the last bus home by himself.

If he didn't have money, he would naturally ask Brigitte Lin for it. If Brigitte Lin was busy, he would go to her agent. Anyway, she already knew Qin Weiming and had praised this educated boy for being sensible and perceptive. For Qin Weiming, this period was relatively easy to get through, except for teaching Joey Wong martial arts, which was probably the most tiring, much more tiring than Qin Weiming's regular job.

What surprised Qin Weiming the most was Wang Zuxian herself. She actually withstood those tests. No matter how much pain she was in, she always gritted her teeth and persevered.

She does indeed possess some tenacity in martial arts training. If it weren't for her exceptionally beautiful appearance, Qin Weiming would have really wanted to recommend her to other martial arts schools. However, because of her good looks, Qin Weiming felt it would be better to make do and teach her personally.

If she really went outside, it's unknown whether Joey Wong would suffer any injustices, and the person who taught her would definitely have ulterior motives.

Although Qin Weiming was somewhat prejudiced, he felt that the worse he thought of others, the better.

This is also why he has praised and recognized Wang Zuxian's hard work during this period. As long as Wang Zuxian wants to learn, there is no problem. She has this desire to learn, so how could Qin Weiming not help her?

As for whether this would exhaust Wang Zuxian, Qin Weiming was watching her closely. Seeing that she was about to collapse from exhaustion, he called a halt: "Your health is the most important thing. You want to play basketball and practice martial arts at the same time, but your body can't recover. If your energy is damaged in the long term, it will inevitably cause a deficiency in your body, which will be detrimental to your long-term development."

Wang Zuxian seemed to understand but not quite, but she did at least grasp one thing: this situation was not good for her in the long run.

What should I do?

Joey Wong looked at him seeking advice.

Qin Weiming took a breath. He originally wanted to signal Wang Zuxian to think of what to do, but looking at her gaze, he felt himself slowly softening.

"Anyway, your health is the top priority. You absolutely cannot rush things, understand? Although your physical foundation is good, it's far inferior to those who have practiced martial arts since childhood. You can't act recklessly. That's the only thing I want to tell you." Qin Weiming still spoke in this tone. Wang Zuxian was a little annoyed, but she quickly cheered up. It wasn't the first time she had heard of Qin Weiming's temper.

In comparison, Joey Wong preferred to listen to Qin Weiming chanting scriptures, at least she felt that Qin Weiming cared about her, which didn't sound bad.

"So, can I still practice at the same pace as before?" Wang Zuxian couldn't help but share with him, thinking about how she had recently received praise from her coach for her playing.

"Of course you can, as long as you listen to me and don't put too much energy into practicing martial arts. After all, you're getting older now, uh, your physical constitution is already formed. Practicing other things might also help your body. You don't need to be fixated on traditional martial arts."

Seeing Wang Zuxian's face turn dark quickly, Qin Weiming hurriedly changed his tune.

Despite her quick wit, Wang Zuxian still gave him a lukewarm glare, clearly harboring resentment over Qin Weiming's words.

What bothered Wang Zuxian even more than anything else was Qin Weiming saying she was old.

She's only fourteen or fifteen years old, and Qin Weiming dares to say she's too old? He'll be out of control in the future.

"Okay, I misspoke, I'll slap myself. But if you're only focused on martial arts, how am I supposed to learn ball from you?" Qin Weiming raised another question. At the beginning, Qin Weiming did indeed have some ideas about using playing ball to get closer to Wang Zuxian.

But after he seriously practiced until he mastered the basics, Qin Weiming discovered the joy of playing and began to truly love the sport.

Wang Zuxian thought for a moment and said, "When I practice martial arts, you can practice ball next to me. It won't interfere with either of us. I can see you, and you can see me."

"Okay." Qin Weiming quickly accepted the arrangement, after all, what Wang Zuxian said was right.

Especially when the two of them go out to play, it's usually just the two of them. Since this almost abandoned basketball court was built, the two of them often come here to hang out.

One day, the two of them brought some food and drinks and were casually making their way there when Joey Wong suddenly became alert: "Something's not right, someone is following us."

"Xiaoxian, have you been watching too many police dramas?" Qin Weiming found it somewhat amusing.

He didn't feel anything at all, but Joey Wong glared at him: "Compared to girls, you're really thick-skinned. Be careful, it seems there's more than one person following us."

Seeing Wang Zuxian's serious expression, which didn't seem fake, Qin Weiming was stunned for a moment, then quietly shut his mouth and obediently followed behind Wang Zuxian to see what was going on.

Once the two had finished their ambush, their pursuers hurriedly arrived. Upon reaching them, they surveyed the surrounding area, utterly bewildered: "Strange, where did they go? How did they disappear so suddenly?"

Wang Zuxian gave Qin Weiming a smug look, implying that she wasn't wrong; someone really was following them, and it was an old acquaintance—Li Yong, who had caused trouble on the other basketball court and had been taught a lesson by Qin Weiming.

Qin Weiming's expression was not good. He knew that this kid would want to come back and cause trouble, but he did not expect that the other party would dare to secretly follow him from behind.

When Qin Weiming let Li Yong go, he warned him. He never expected that just a few days later, the other party would dare to come back and follow him, and do this.

Wang Zuxian wanted to ask Qin Weiming what to do, but then she heard him whisper in her ear not to come out, and then he strode up behind Li Yong: "Li Yong."

"Big brother, I've come to rely on you." Li Yong's face lit up with joy. He shouted and pretended to lie down on the ground, making a gesture as if he was ready to be beaten.

Qin Wei's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He truly hadn't expected that there would be such a shameless scoundrel as Li Yong, someone who would actually follow him all the way.

Judging from his appearance, Qin Weiming knew that the other party had not hesitated at all and had long been prepared to come and join him, because these spineless worms were all determined characters.

"I don't need a lackey like you. Besides, I'm just a student. Why would I take you as a henchman? Can you tutor me? Or help me with my exams?" Qin Weiming snapped irritably.

Li Yong looked troubled: "Brother, I can help you beat someone up, but for the exam, all I can do is write my own name. I'm a physical education student."

"What do you practice?" Qin Weiming took a breath to calm his anger.

There's no point in arguing with someone like Li Yong, especially since he's staring straight at me, clearly targeting me.

"I train in track and field, and also swimming and stuff like that." Li Yong scratched his head. He saw that Qin Weiming seemed very angry, and he was prepared to be beaten up. Unexpectedly, Qin Weiming calmed down, put down his fist, and looked at him leisurely: "In that case, what are you doing here now?"

He was ready to listen carefully to Li Yong's explanation of why he was there; at least he didn't seem like he had just wandered over aimlessly.

Looking at Qin Weiming, Li Yong made up his mind: "I want to follow you, brother. After you beat me up last time, I realized that I won't amount to anything by just wandering around the streets all day."

"You're following me? I'm just a student, can't you hear me? What kind of reputation can you expect from me? You should go find someone else to work for, don't waste your time here." Qin Weiming waved his hand, indicating that Li Yong would be better off getting lost.

Regardless, Qin Weiming had no intention of accepting Li Yong's offer, after all, his relationship with Li Yong was only that much.

Last time, Li Yong provoked Qin Weiming first and even made the first move, so Qin Weiming gave him a good beating. However, that time they were even. If Wang Zuxian hadn't discovered that he was secretly following her, he wouldn't have met Li Yong again.

"Big brother, big brother, don't rush to attack me, can you let me finish what I have to say?" Before Qin Weiming could raise his hand, Li Yong covered his head and squatted down.

Seeing his expression, Qin Weiming immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Yong with some confusion: "Why don't you understand? I don't want to be your older brother, much less take you as my underling. I'm still a high school student, why do you have to force me?"

"Big Brother." Seeing that Qin Weiming had stopped fighting, Li Yong was overjoyed and was about to stand up to talk to Qin Weiming. However, Qin Weiming glanced at him, so he squatted down again and said in a muffled voice, "Big Brother, you're so skilled. I'm only two years older than you. I'm only 19 this year. Isn't it normal for me to call you Big Brother?"

"Who told you I'm seventeen? I'm not that old." Qin Weiming was speechless. He found that Li Yong was like a leech, no matter how much he tried to get rid of him, he wouldn't leave.

Especially when he posed so close to his own image, it made Joey Wong laugh.

"Sorry, you can leave now. I won't take you on as my underling because I'm not that old myself. If you really want to make something of yourself, I suggest you find a job right now. It would be even better if you could learn a skill. Stop showing off with those friends on the streets and stop following me. Otherwise, I'll beat you up again next time I see you."

Qin Weiming didn't want to waste any more time arguing with Li Yong, so he sent him away.

Li Yong wanted to say something more, but seeing Qin Weiming looking at him with an unfriendly expression, he realized something was wrong and ran away.
