Chapter 176: Wang Zhitao Saving The Beauty
Two men came in when Wang Zhitao was bullsh*tting delightedly. It was common to have customers walk in, but one of them was the tracksuit man who hit on Chen Mengyan.
So, Yang Ming paid a little bit of attention to them. They sat beside Yang Ming after they looked around the restaurant.
"Brother Jun, aren't the students at these two tables new?" The man who came with the tracksuit man said.
"En, I suppose they are. If not, we wouldn't have missed such a pretty girl!" said Brother Jun.
Brother Jun's name was Liu Zhaojun. He was the vice president of the Taekwondo club in Song Jiang Industry University. He was really good at fighting. The other man was a member of the Taekwondo club too. His name was Li Jiasheng. They were both lecherous and single. It was unfortunate that there were only a few pretty girls in the university, and they were in relationships already. Even more, the boyfriends were people that they didn't want to mess with. So, they targeted the new incoming students.
"Brother Jun, why don't we go flirting?" Li Jiasheng suggested.
"Cool, we'll go to the table with two female students. Try to stay away from the other table because there are three guys there." Although Liu Zhaojun was good at fighting, there were still three guys. Why would he make his life difficult?
Li Jiasheng had the same thought. Then they discussed the plan for flirting.
Although the restaurant was chaotic, and they were speaking in a lowered tone, Yang Ming could still see what they said without hearing it. Since they didn't bother me, then I won't bother them too. As for Zhou Jiajia? Let it be! I don't care.
After that, Liu Zhaojun and Li Jiasheng plotted their plan. Yang Ming no longer paid attention to them.
Liu Zhaojun and Li Jiasheng stood up and walked toward Zhou Jiajia and the other girl. They looked at these unwelcome guests with doubt.
"Are you two new students?" Liu Zhaojun said politely.
"Ugh... how did you know?" Zhou Jiajia didn't say anything, but the girl beside her was puzzled. But she answered Liu Zhaojun without knowing.
The girl was Zhou Jiajia's high school classmate. Her name was Wang Xue. They were buddies and were admitted to Song Jiang Industry University together.
"Hehe, let me introduce myself. I'm the vice president of the Taekwondo club. He is Li Jiasheng and a member of the club too. Are you guys interested in joining the Taekwondo club?"
"Taekwondo club?" Wang Xue looked at Zhou Jiajia. Zhou Jiajia shook her head and said, "We have just joined the university. We'll think about joining clubs in the future. We aren't sure if we will be interested in other clubs."
"Nevermind, you can join our club first. It wouldn't affect you if you join another club. You can join multiple clubs in the university." Liu Zhaojun, of course, wouldn't let go of these two pure pretty girls. Therefore, he wanted to persuade them to join the club first. This way, he would be in a better position to get closer to them.
"I will think about it in the future. Sorry, we have to eat if you don't mind." Zhou Jiajia was impatient, so she asked them to leave.
"No big deal! As a senior, we should pay for the meal! Waiter! Bring our food here; we are eating together!" Liu Zhaojun sat beside Zhou Jiajia without asking and Li Jiasheng sat beside the other girl too. Although she wasn't as pretty as Zhou Jiajia, she still looked fine. Li Jiasheng could only pick her because of the vice president. But he was satisfied to have a share. It was just that he wasn't sure how to get her.
Zhou Jiajia frowned when she saw these guys were being impudent. "We don't need your offer. We can pay for ourselves."
"Hehe, just think of it as a treat from a senior. We are in the same school already. The first time we are strangers, the second time we know each other, the third and fourth times we bang each other!" Li Jiasheng said.
"What bang?" Wang Xue clearly didn't understand it.
"Bang? What bang?" Liu Zhaojun glared at Li Jiasheng, then said to Wang Xue, "That's the dialect of his home. He meant the first time we are strangers, the second time we know each other, the third and fourth time we are friends.
Li Jiasheng realized his words slipped out, so he said with embarrassment, "Yeah right! It's friends!"
Zhou Jiajia and Wang Xue were girls, so it was common for them to not know it. But Wang Zhitao kept his attention on them since these guys were flirting with Zhou Jiajia and her friend. How could he not understand what Li Jiasheng meant?
Wang Zhitao knew what were these guys thinking. They just want to flirt with girls! If it was another girl then it was fine, but Zhou Jiajia is my target! A thorny rose like Chen Mengyan is okay to give away to Yang Ming, but I won't let Zhou Jiajia go! Therefore, Wang Zhitao was furious when these guys were speaking disgustingly.
"You two, what do you guys mean?" Wang Zhitao stood up, then he turned around and said in a cool tone to Liu Zhaojun and Li Jiasheng.
"What do you mean? Who are you?" Liu Zhaojun wasn't happy when someone interrupted his "good business."
"I'm telling you guys, better not mess around here!" Wang Zhitao was talking while noticing Zhou Jiajia's facial expression. But his actions didn't move her, so Wang Zhitao was anxious. Then he said in an even cooler tone, "Do you know who I am?"
"F*ck, are you crazy? I just asked you 'who are you', then why are you asking me 'do I know who you are'? Is your brain still intact?" Liu Zhaojun was angry when a freshman insulted him. D*mn it, you didn't know what happened, right?
Yes, no matter how large the university is, there will be some toxic students in it. These students are usually specially recruited for their talents in sports. Liu Zhaojun was one of them.
Liu Zhaojun belonged to the toxic category, but he had suffered a long time during his freshman year. Yes, the ruthless people among his upperclassmen were always bossing him around during his freshman year. All the good stuff were not accessible to him, except fighting. So, all the pretty girls were hooked on his seniors and he got nothing.
Now, Liu Zhaojun became an upperclassman. He was mature enough to flirt and bully the freshman. But he was interrupted when he was having fun. Was there someone who dared to interrupt me? Of course, I will argue with him.
"What are you saying? I'm telling you. My dad is the CEO of the Xiongfeng Group! If you leave now, we can solve this incident in peace. If not, you shall suffer the consequences!" Wang Zhitao was anxious. He was trying to be a hero to save the beauty, but why were these guys so uncooperative?
"Xiongfeng Group? What cr*p is that?" Liu Zhaojun wasn't a local, so naturally, he never heard of the Xiongfeng Group.
"It's a small private company in Song Jiang." Li Jiasheng said disdainfully. His father was the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, so he despised private enterprises.
"Oh? D*mn, he is a rich kid!" Liu Zhaojun laughed.
"You--" Wang Zhitao was pampered since he was young. He was never despised by anyone. Even Yang Ming wouldn't do that to him. When men were in front of a woman, they act before thinking. Wang Zhitao was so enraged that he picked up a beer bottle and swung it toward Liu Zhaojun's head.
As a vice president of the Taekwondo club, Liu Zhaojun's capability was undebatable. His reflexes were faster than normal people. Liu Zhaojun easily dodged Wang Zhitao's bottle and swung a kick toward his stomach.
Luckily, Wang Zhitao didn't eat anything yet. He would have thrown up all the food from the kick! Wang Zhitao was going mad. He took out his cell phone and called Zhang Biao.
"Hello, Zhang Biao. I'm getting beat up at the Heavenly Dragon Restaurant in front of Song Jiang Industry University. Quickly gather some men and come!"
But, his cell phone was snatched and smashed into pieces by Li Jiasheng before he could finish his sentence.
"You're freaking awesome. Are you calling for people?" Li Jiasheng threw another punch toward Wang Zhitao's nose. His nose bled instantaneously.
"Alright, stop it already. All of you stop." Although Zhou Jiajia never bothered about Wang Zhitao, he was doing this for her, so, she should mediate the fight.
Why did Zhou Jiajia only mediate the fight now? It was because she was waiting for Yang Ming to intervene. But... the results were disappointing.
Chapter 177: Perspective Matters
Yang Ming really wanted to see Wang Zhitao get beaten up by the fat guy. Hence, he thought to himself, Beat him up ruthlessly!
At this moment, he noticed Zhou Jiajia attempt to stop the fight. Yang Ming couldn't ignore it any longer. After all, Wang Zhitao was still considered a "brother." Yang Ming didn't want to have an argument with him. He couldn't help but to stand up and say in a lazy manner, "Both of you, that's enough. I still need to have my meal. Stop disturbing us."
"Ha, another courageous one. Who are you? Don't tell me your father is also CEO of a company?" Liu Zhaojun didn't anticipate that there were so many students who acted like pricks in this world. But, it was an opportunity for him to train his skills. He was worried about a lack of opportunity to display his might.
"My dad is only a normal worker." Yang Ming said it plainly, "You will be in one piece if you leave right now. When I am in a fool mood later, you will be wasted."
Even though Yang Ming's words were similar to what Wang Zhitao said, a plain tone like that was far more intimidating than a flustered and exasperated tone.
"What?" Liu Zhaojun was stunned. This little brat doesn't have any background yet he was being pretentious? Is he a dumb*ss? "Are you sick somewhere in your brain?"
"I am not sick. But, I think you will be visiting the hospital soon." Yang Ming took a stool and smashed it on Liu Zhaojun as soon as he finished his words. He knew his opponent was from the Taekwondo club. In an honest fight, he wouldn't be a match with the guy. But, a fight also depended on technique which was separate from actual ability. Years of fighting experience reminded Yang Ming that no matter how tough his opponent was if he launched the first attack, the opponent's fighting ability would be greatly reduced.
Certainly, this technique wouldn't work for a kung fu master, but those individuals don't exist in real life.
Yang Ming's fighting approach was different from Wang Zhitao's. He knew how to bring the greatest pain to the enemy with just one hit. That one hit was ruthless, accurate and steady.
Liu Zhaojun was an expert in Taekwondo, but not a good fighter. Naturally, he could defeat Wang Zhitao who didn't have fighting experience. However, when he encountered Yang Ming, he was smacked to the ground before he could even react. Blood gushed out from his head.
Liu Zhaojun rarely involved himself in a fight. But, Song Jiang Industry University was a popular university after all. Fights between students mostly resulted in bloody noses and swollen faces. There wasn't anyone who smashed a stool on another's head at the beginning of a fight. That was the fighting style of gangsters who aimed to kill!
Li Jiasheng was frozen on the spot, while Yang Ming said it plainly, "What are you waiting for? Get him a doctor."
Li Jiasheng could only react at this moment. He supported Liu Zhaojun and walked toward the exit. As they reached the exit, he turned around and warned Yang Ming, "Just you wait! I will remember you!"
"Dumb*ss." Yang Ming stared at him coldly as he wasn't bothered by it. Yang Ming had witnessed classic dialogues like these after getting beaten up a lot.
Zhou Jiajia looked at Yang Ming as he stepped into this matter. Her gaze was filled with complicated emotions.
Yang Ming didn't pay much attention to Zhou Jiajia. Rather, he held up Wang Zhitao, and said in a pretentious manner, "Class monitor Wang, are you alright?"
"I am still alright. Thank you for shooing them away." Wang Zhitao only realized now that having a ruthless friend was great.
"I wonder why in our university there exists such a person with low quality, going so far as to beat up someone." Yang Ming's word seemed to be directed at Liu Zhaojun on the surface, but it was meant to be sarcastic referring to Wang Zhitao's act of assaulting them first. "I am sorry. I helped a bit late."
"Don't be bothered by it. Damn, I finally let go of this unpleasant feeling. What an infuriating matter!" Wang Zhitao complained. At this moment, Wang Zhitao couldn't be bothered by Yang Ming stealing the limelight. He was contemplating how to get revenge on Liu Zhaojun.
However, this directed Wang Zhitao's attention toward Liu Zhaojun and gave time for Yang Ming to grow. In fact, Yang Ming needed to be grateful to those two fellows.
"Are both of you alright?" Wang Zhitao could bear to be the cannon fodder. He had to at least convey the message to Zhou Jiajia that he was injured because of them.
"Nothing much, thanks." Since he was already injured, Zhou Jiajia couldn't respond to him coldly, so she just brushed it off with some thanks.
"Thank you, but your nose... Is it alright?" Wang Xue was rather enthusiastic.
"I am fine. It isn't a big deal with an injury like this!" Wang Zhitao acted cool by squeezing tissue paper up his nose to stop the bleeding. "Em? Your online name is Charming Baby, right?" Wang Zhitao acted as though he realized it all of a sudden.
"Yes... and you are?" Zhou Jiajia pretended to be puzzled as though she couldn't remember.
"I am Prince Big Tao!" Wang Zhitao said happily. It was just that his appearance right now didn't seem like a prince.
"Oh, it was actually you, hehe." Zhou Jiajia smiled as she recognized Wang Zhitao.
"Hehe, what a coincidence. I never thought that I can meet you in person." Wang Zhitao replied with a smile.
"Yup." Zhou Jiajia said hesitantly, "Why don't you introduce your friends?"
Naturally, Wang Zhitao didn't know that Zhou Jiajia and Yang Ming were acquainted. As he noticed Zhou Jiajia initiate a conversation with him, he replied enthusiastically, "Both of them are my friends from high school. Right now, we are brothers. The person who stepped in just now is Yang Ming. He is a vulgar person. Hehe, did he scare you off?"
Vulgar? You are the vulgar one. Zhou Jiajia frowned a little, but she smiled as she nodded at Yang Ming. "Hi, I am Zhou Jiajia. Thank you for teaching those fellows a lesson just now. Oh? Your name is also Yang Ming, similar to my junior high school classmate!"
"Really?" Yang Ming threw a glance at the little sl*t. He wasn't sure what was she thinking. But, as a Chinese idiom says, don't slap the face of someone smiling at us [1]. Yang Ming didn't have a good impression of her, yet he nodded his head. "What a coincidence. I have a nemesis during the past too. Her name was also Zhou Jiajia."
"Hehe, what a coincidence." Zhou Jiajia laughed it off.
"Haha, there are a lot of people who share the same name in this world. It seemed we are fated to meet each other!" Wang Zhitao didn't notice the sourness hidden between their lines as he thought it was just pure coincidence. He spoke, "How about I treat all of you for a meal? Let's eat together?"
Zhou Jiajia was unwilling to have a meal with Wang Zhitao. But, she threw a glance at Yang Ming, and she couldn't make a decision. After a few moments of hesitation, she agreed, "Alright..."
"All of you go ahead. I have already eaten with Zhang Bing and my friends. We will leave first." Yang Ming was unwilling to share a table with Zhou Jiajia. Also, they indeed had their meal already. Just now, Wang Zhitao was bullsh*ting around, and he didn't eat anything.
As a matter of fact, Wang Zhitao didn't want to have Yang Ming and the rest to stay any longer. Since they offered to leave, Wang Zhitao didn't have a reason to keep them there. Hence, he replied, "That's alright, I will pay the bill. You can go ahead first."
Zhang Bing also accompanied his "girlfriend." Naturally, he wasn't interested in getting acquainted with another pretty girl. So, as Yang Ming suggested, the four of them stood up and left.
After Yang Ming and the other three of them left, Wang Zhitao sat together with Zhou Jiajia and Wang Xue. But, Zhou Jiajia opened her mouth and said, "Wang Zhitao, it seemed that all of you had finished your meal. Let's call it a day. We can meet up again next time. Your nose... you should see a doctor."
Since Yang Ming left, Zhou Jiajia didn't want to stay any longer with Wang Zhitao. Hence, she found an excuse and turned him down indirectly.
"Yi?" Wang Zhitao didn't expect the flow of events to turn out this way. But, he felt the pretty girl cared about him, so he wasn't disappointed. Hence, he replied, "Alright, let's call it a day. We can contact each other again on qq!"
Wang Zhitao being the sucker didn't get a bite of the meal, but paid the bill for two tables. But, he was willing to do so. As the saying goes, if you were a dumb*ss, how can you know about it?
As he exited the restaurant, he saw a food stall selling Chinese savory crepes not far away. [1] Wang Zhitao was drooling over the Chinese savory crepe. Hence, he took out two yuan and purchased a crepe. He ate it as he left.
A man with a nose stuffed with tissue paper and blood traces walked toward the Song Jiang Industry University exit as he enjoyed the crepe. It was a magnificent sight. They said the security guard at the university assumed he was a beggar. As soon as he entered the university compound, he was shooed away. Luckily, Wang Zhitao had the receipt of fee payment, otherwise, he wouldn't have made his way back in.
"Yang Ming, you injured him in the fight. Weren't you afraid they will come back for revenge?" Chen Mengyan lectured Yang Ming, "Today's matter wasn't something you should meddle with!"
"That's right, brother. It would be great if Wang Zhitao was beaten up to death. Why did you bother about it?" Zhang Bing asked as he couldn't comprehend the situation.
Yang Ming shook his head and said nothing. He was quite conflicted, but he couldn't have an argument with Wang Zhitao now.
"I couldn't tolerate their attitude." Yang Ming found a reason for his action.
