Chapter 003 The Power of Training

A bodyguard muttered that the person originally worked in a hospital

Wu Deyang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, kid. Come here." Liu Qingfeng approached with a smile, only to receive a punch from Wu Deyang that made his nose bleed. This is the rule. Did everyone see that?

I would like to express my gratitude for your reminder. As you can see, I have been practicing for three days, eating plain noodles every day. How about we go to Zhuangzi's place for a meal together tonight? I will treat you.

Instructor Yang said, you are quite bold, being the first to speak to the chief escort in such a manner, however, the chief escort is somewhat sensitive about his reputation and has a narrow mind, so you should be cautious

The second part of the instruction states that you are all descendants of prestigious families, coming from all corners of the world. You have gathered here for a noble cause in the martial world, arriving at the escort agency. Here, you must learn to give and to be grateful. Only in this way can you realize your personal value and the value of life, enabling you to achieve a win-win situation with the Central Plains Escort Agency

Wu Deyang asked at Black Wind Stronghold, come and tell me, what are the rules. Seeing Liu Qingfeng being beaten, Black Wind Stronghold became clever and said, you are the rule, whatever you say is the rule

Settling down, I wrote a letter to my parents, my master, and my junior brothers, conveying the essence that I, as their son/disciple/brother, have now become a bodyguard at the Central Plains Escort Agency. From today onward, I will step into the martial world, and if I do not succeed, I shall not return. At that moment, I felt such joy, softly humming a song I learned during my training and reading, with no regrets as I walk my own path, a path that seems endless.

Then, he did not come to work for several consecutive days, reportedly due to being frightened and falling ill. After that, when I went to find him to handle some matters, he was very agreeable. Upon seeing that I was submitting my resignation, without saying a word, he handed me three hundred wen.

Liu Qingfeng also said, since we are newcomers, I hope that Instructor Yang will provide us with more guidance. I will consider this meal as my contribution. I replied that it would be inappropriate for two people to treat each other. Since you have said so, then this time, you shall treat us.

I was quite displeased with his style. After he hinted at me a few times, I caught a snake and placed it in a black box, sending it to him, telling him it was brought by a friend from India and that it would allow him to be mighty and unyielding at night. When he received it, he was overjoyed.

After asking around, Liu Qingfeng finally said, "My friend, I earn 900 wen, with double salary at the end of the year." However, for the disciples of Wudang, this salary is merely average.

The chief escort is named Wu Deyang, a man from Jiangnan, with a goatee, of short stature, and a loud voice

What are you saying? I cannot hear you

The course for the next day is a comprehensive guide to the jargon of the underworld. In linguistics, this is referred to as industry-specific slang, while in academic discussions, it is known as technical terminology. Come on, if you are navigating the underworld, how can you face the world without knowing a few phrases of this jargon? Your proficiency in this slang directly determines your status in the underworld

The Central Plains Escort Agency is located in Dongcheng Hutong, surrounded by some residential houses; however, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, every inch of land is extremely valuable. Especially during the Kai Tai era, the housing prices in the capital surged, leaving us junior escorts with no options.

His head shakes like a rattle drum. Sigh. If you don't want to eat, then forget it. Actually, I was just being polite with you. If you really want it, I truly wouldn't know what to do.

Wu Deyang laughed heartily and said, "Kid, you have good insight. I like it. Step forward and run ten laps around Gejia Village. " Upon hearing this, Black Wind Stronghold felt weak in the knees. What, are you not convinced? Do you want me to teach you a lesson?" With a sullen face, Black Wind Stronghold, under the supervision of a bodyguard, began to run laps around Gejia Village.

I scoffed, saying, with so much money, how about you treat for dinner? ... Liu Qingfeng chuckled, scratching his head, saying, next time, next time, let's talk about it after I get my paycheck ...

In the third part of the instruction, you are to adhere to the values and principles of the escort agency, recognize its operational culture, and learn the importance of absolute execution and absolute obedience. The agency will not treat you unfairly. By working with the agency, you will have wealth, you will have a spouse, and you will have a career

Feeling bored on the road, Liu Qingfeng chatted with the Black Wind Stronghold. "Bro, I didn't expect you to be able to come in too. What's your monthly salary?" The Black Wind Stronghold felt a bit embarrassed, "I earn 600 wen." Liu Qingfeng nodded, "Oh, that makes sense. Employment is so difficult this year, and you are not from a prestigious family, so 600 wen is quite good."

The first day of training focused on corporate culture and business philosophy, providing an understanding of the main leadership of the escort agency and its future development vision. The instructor distributed a book titled "How to Become a Qualified Escort" and asked us to write a reflection on it

Upon arriving at Gejiazhuang, the chief escort Wu Deyang immediately gave us a stern warning. You bunch of little rascals, let me tell you, what is the first thing you must learn at the Central Plains Escort Agency? It is the rules, what are the rules? Liu Qingfeng, you come and tell me.

What are the rules

It's nothing, this is truly the dim sum from Drunken Immortal Tower, really nothing special

Decades ago, the Central Plains Escort Agency was still at the forefront of the four major escort agencies in the world. Following the recent incident of lost tribute during an escort, the agency has been in a state of decline, and it has become increasingly difficult to secure contracts for the previously highly profitable grain escorts, ticket escorts, and personal escorts. It now survives solely on lower-profit, lower-risk contracts such as letter escorts and cargo escorts

I cannot hear

The next day at noon, I reported to the Zhongyuan Escort Agency, where the other seven had already completed their onboarding. Liu Qingfeng, the white-clad man from the Ming Sect, and the young man from the Black Wind Stronghold had all entered the agency. Arriving late on my first day of work, I smiled awkwardly. Zhu Dan from the Internal Affairs Department processed my paperwork, and then I went to the training ground to listen to the head escort's speech

The first part of the speech emphasizes that our Central Plains Escort Agency has a long history and strong capabilities. Since its establishment, we have implemented a series of significant measures such as cash on delivery, a seven-day no-reason return policy, consumer protection, and third-party payment. These are great initiatives in the industry. However, we must continue to maintain a humble, cautious, and unpretentious attitude, closely following the footsteps of our leader and adhering to the agency's guiding principles of "three major strategies, six personal commitments, and nine driving forces" to lead the agency towards brilliance.

Wu Deyang pointed at me and said, "Young man, tell me, what are the rules?"

Liu Qingfeng hesitated and said, as the chief escort, I believe that a fist represents the rules

After Wu Deyang left, we divided into two small groups: I, Liu Qingfeng, Heifengzhai, and the Persian Mingjiao formed one group, while the other four individuals formed another group

The person in charge was quite decisive, signing my resignation letter with a flourish and instructing the accountant to disburse half a month's salary, amounting to three hundred wen. When I approached the accountant, he wore a displeased expression, engrossed in reading "Jin Ping Mei" and thoroughly enjoying the dialogue between Ximen Qing and the other characters. I interrupted his engagement, which made him quite unhappy. He was in charge of finances, carried himself with great arrogance, and was slow in his work, unless you offered him some benefits.

Do you dare to disrespect me, the head of the escort? The last person who dared to look down on me is still in the hospital now

Oh, I do not know

Once we calmed down, we were sent to Gejiazhuang outside the city for a seven-day closed training session. Without even entering the discussion hall of the escort agency, we were taken directly to Gejiazhuang

Liu Qingfeng exhibited an exceptionally high enthusiasm for everyone's salaries, in no time at all he had inquired thoroughly about everyone's monthly wages, of course, neither I nor the Persian Mingjiao disclosed this information to him

Brother, over the past month, there hasn't been much to give. I have some pastries from Zui Xian Lou here; why don't you take them back to try? With that, I handed him some pastries I bought at noon.

No need, no need, Brother Qin, there is at home, there is at home. He hurriedly waved his hand

After this speech, everyone present was filled with fervor, eager to grab a large knife and head to the streets, stopping anyone at random and asking, "Hey, are you going to deliver a message?"

After going around in circles, I rented a room in a courtyard in Guanjiazhuang, which is more than three miles away from the Central Plains Escort Agency. The monthly rent is 150 wen. There are three other tenants in the courtyard: one is an editor for a government monthly publication named Zhao Hezhi; another is a scholar preparing for the imperial examination, with the surname Min; and the last is a woman with the surname Fan, named Tianzhen, whose profession is rather mysterious. However, according to Zhao Hezhi, Fan Tianzhen is well-versed in the Great Ming Law and works at the Dali Temple, specifically handling criminal cases. Yet, she has never admitted to this.

What is a rectangle

I originally had 200 wen, and with the additional 300 wen I just received, I now have a total of 500 wen. However, the Central Plains Escort Agency does not provide food and accommodation, so I need to consider the issue of renting a house.

The chief escort was about to become angry when the logistics manager arrived and whispered a few words in Wu Deyang's ear. Wu Deyang uttered a few harsh words and then hurriedly left

The third day is the martial arts examination. Although we have passed the admission, each person's characteristics are different. The escort agency will determine which department we will enter after our training based on our individual traits
