Chapter 274
Boss Hu’s training base lay at the foot of Mountain Tianmu, a land area of nearly one thousand acres that had been founded on the basis of a several-hundred-million capital investment . Under normal circumstances, it was also an outward-bound base for many large companies in Hangzhou . In this case, the outward-bound base would be separated from the training base for self-use .

That day, Qin Sheng arrived at the training base along with Chang Baji . He also wanted to see how powerful Boss Hu was on his own . After he arrived at the training base, as expected, he was shocked . Boss Hu was pretty abundant . It was said that Boss Hu got along with the military region well . Numerous scouts and special forces who had retired from the army would start their career here . Many bosses would also come to pick out their bodyguards and drivers . No wonder neither Third Master Wu nor the Old Monk dared to offend the Hu Family .
The recent game held by Boss Hu was set on New Year’s Day . The news would be announced in a few days . When that time came, each notable financer would find players at a high price . After all, they could earn quite a large amount of commission out of each game as well as additional income by gambling .
Qin Sheng had a discussion with Chang Baji about whom they should send out to take part in the game . Since Chang Baji had been pretty occupied recently, he did not have time to go out and look for candidates . Consequently, they decided to send both Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo to participate in the game . Based on their capabilities, as long as they did not take part in the last heavyweight game, they would certainly have victory in the bag . Even if they lost the game, they would not lose in a disgraceful manner .
Boss Hu implemented full militarization management at the training base, so the security of the training base was pretty strict . It was not until the sentries at the entrance directly called Boss Hu’s office that they allowed both Qin Sheng and Chang Baji to enter the training base . Then, guided by a sightseeing bus, Qin Sheng and Chang Baji rushed directly to the building, where Boss Hu’s office was .
In a vast office, Qin Sheng and Chang Baji saw Boss Hu, who was dressed in a camouflage uniform . He looked pretty formidable and completely different from how he had been when Qin Sheng had met him that day .
“Whoops . Little Qin, you are here . ” Boss Hu stood up happily as he greeted Qin Sheng, which indicated that he thought highly of Qin Sheng . After all, anyone who could sit beside him was not an ordinary person .
Qin Sheng smiled happily as he said, “Boss Hu, nice to meet you again . I’m surprised that you look so much like a military man when you are wearing a camouflage uniform . ”
Boss Hu smiled as he said, “Ha ha ha… You probably don’t know about my story . I was a soldier in the army for ten years . However, I made some mistakes later on . Plus, the members of my family suggested that I come back home to take over the family duties . Consequently, I retired from the army . ” What he said about himself was a fact known by a lot of people in Hangzhou . It was also the reason he had chosen to establish this company that specialized in security . At first, he had done this to find a resting place for his comrades . It had not occurred to him that his company would become one of the most powerful companies that specialized in security among the whole Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces .
Qin Sheng was pretty surprised by this news . He respected Boss Hu earnestly and he adored military men instinctively . So far, his biggest regret was never being a soldier in his entire life . It had not occurred to him that Boss Hu had actually served in the army before . Everything related to Boss Hu seemed to take place naturally .
Qin Sheng said respectfully, “I actually did not expect this . It turns out that Boss Hu is a veteran . No wonder that you have such a perfect body . ”
“It’s due to the habits I have maintained for so many years . I don’t want to become a big-bellied middle-aged man who gets exhausted by drinking and womanizing and is afflicted by several ailments when he gets old . In that case, what is the point of being vastly wealthy?” Boss Hu replied happily .

Qin Sheng nodded as he said, “Boss Hu, there you go . ”
Suddenly, Boss Hu looked at Chang Baji . He eyed this homely man up and down as he said in an approving manner, “I finally see your real appearance . Speaking of the big battle you took part in that night, it is the most amazing game I have seen in the past two years . I wonder how I should address you . Master?”
Chang Baji had been cultivating his mind for many years . Never could he play up to anybody in power . Even Qin Sheng could not understand what on earth he was after . “Boss Hu, you are flattering me . I am nothing but a rough-neck . You can just call me Lao Chang,” he said calmly .
“Lao Chang, you are being too modest . Speaking of the last move named ‘Mars Crashes the Earth’, which you played against monk Yan Qing last time, clients have been indulging in elaborating on it recently . Many people have asked me about you . Plus, quite a number of big bosses wanted to hire you for a handsome salary . However, I rejected all their offers in a subtle way,” Boss Hu said half-jokingly, as he respected Chang Baji highly .
Chang Baji did not say anything . He knew Boss Hu had said this to butter him up . That was all . He had experienced too many situations like this before .
“If you have some free time, I can show you around this small pond . The contract is being stipulated currently, but it doesn’t have any wordy clauses at all . It won’t be too late if we sign it later,” Boss Hu said, showing due respect for both Qin Sheng and Chang Baji’s feelings .
Qin Sheng chuckled as he said, “Boss Hu, I deeply appreciate your effort . ”
In the following more than half an hour, Qin Sheng and Chang Baji, guided by Boss Hu, looked around the training base in an accumulator car . Although it was noon already, many training activities were still ongoing . They were almost the same as military training activities . After all, the majority of this group of instructors had officially served in the army before .
When the time they looked around, which lasted for half an hour, came to an end, Qin Sheng was stupefied . Boss Hu took them to the indoor training base, where all the instructors had gathered to await their arrival . There were more than twenty instructors there who were divided into different groups . Each group was assigned one principal . There was also one chief instructor and one deputy chief instructor . Administration and logistics were totally separated from training .
The chief instructor was a military man who was over forty years old . Following the rules of the army, he ran forward and said, “Reporting, Sir! All the instructors are here . We are waiting for further orders . ”
After nodding quietly, Boss Hu said, “Be at ease . ” Although he was not angry at the moment, he still projected natural dignity and power .

“Yes, sir!”
“At ease!”
Boss Hu slowly walked forward as he said, “The reason I ordered all of you to gather here is not due to anything important . I just wanted to make an announcement . We have a new team member named Chang Baji . Starting today, Chang Baji will be a special instructor here . He will offer specialized training to both you and the outstanding trainees . ”
Upon hearing what Boss Hu had said, the group of instructors who were under Boss Hu’s charge was aroused in an instant . It had not occurred to any of them that Boss Hu would actually specifically get someone to train them . All of them were elites born once in a million who had been “Kings of the Army” . As a result, it was completely impossible for them to obey Chang Baji, especially the young instructors, who were ambitious and arrogant . Of course, they were not convinced by Boss Hu’s arrangement .
Qin Sheng was just a bystander who waited to see how Chang Baji would react . Anyway, he remembered clearly back when Chang Baji had freshly joined Shangshan Ruoshui and had taught the group of security guards a merciless lesson . At the time, he had successfully made them submit to him with the simplest method . Qin Sheng wondered how he would do today .
While walking forward slowly, Chang Baji lowered his head slightly and said, “Nice to meet you, everyone . My name is Chang Baji . You can just call me Lao Chang later . I do not possess any amazing skills . As a jack-of-all-trades, I feel really honored about earning Boss Hu’s recognition . I will definitely do my best to be at your service . It’s said that most of you are elites from the army . In that case, of course, I am not qualified to give you any instructions . However, since Boss Hu assigned me this task, I have no choice but to force myself to do it . I know you are not convinced and want to question my capability and eligibility, so I naturally have to show you who I am . ”
As the saying went, based on the situation, one had to choose between keeping a low profile or a high profile in a flexible way . Since Chang Baji was not good at currying favor, he would not deliberately get along with this group of instructors . He knew why he was here . Plus, speaking of this group of instructors, they were supposed to have a bad temper . Consequently, it was better for Chang Baji to act more straightforwardly, which was also his usual style .
After hearing Chang Baji’s words, Boss Hu was pretty satisfied . He was dying to see how Chang Baji would tame this group of jackals and tigers .
Qin Sheng smiled playfully . What Chang Baji was doing suited his usual style quite well . Chang Baji thought in secret, I don’t want to talk bullsh*t with you . Since you are all good at fighting, I will beat you down until you obey me .
You are all doubting my capability, right?
What Chang Baji had said had annoyed this group of elites . Anger filled their eyes . If it had not been for the strict rules of the training base, they would have rushed forward to beat Chang Baji earlier .

The people on the scene all expected that Chang Baji would speak further . However, Chang Baji directly took off his short-sleeved shirt, showing off his slim muscles . It was indeed amazing that a man in his 40s had such a body . At the same time, scars filled Lao Chang’s upper body, making it look more horrifying than Qin Sheng’s body . Everybody on the scene was startled by this sight . Chang Baji snorted as he said, “You are nothing at all in front of me . You brag about being elites, right? Who is the best at fighting? Step forward . Let me see how amazing you are . ”
When Chang Baji finished his words, it seemed like the air was frozen for more than one second . A bang suddenly rang out . Five or six instructors took one step forward, standing out .
Of course, Chang Baji knew that this group of people had a bad temper . However, he continued provoking them by saying, “It seems you are all good at fighting, huh? I like this kind of opponent . However, I was talking about the best one . ”
Boss Hu looked at the chief instructor, who directly yelled out loud and said, “Shen Congwu, dequeue . ”
Shen Congwu was not among the group of people who had stepped forward on their own . Though he was not the best instructor, he certainly was the one best at fighting and he turned out to be Boss Hu’s favorite .
Shen Congwu stepped forward immediately with a bang . Then, he trotted forward with a quick step, confronting Chang Baji directly .
“Shen Congwu? That’s a good name . As the saying goes, men should engage in martial arts . Let’s fight now,” Chang Baji said in a magnificent manner .
Shen Congwu eyed Chang Baji up and down . Since he was not a boorish fellow who was out of his mind, he did not push his way by shoving around . As a special instructor hired by Boss Hu to train them, Chang Baji had to be capable . Without any skills and capabilities, nobody would dare to flaunt their prowess here . It was well-known that this place was extremely dangerous .
Even though he did not trust Chang Baji, he had no choice but to at least trust Boss Hu .
As the saying went, if the enemy did not strike out first, his counterpart should take no action either . As a result, both Chang Baji and Shen Congwu were motionless, which probably was how masters who played against each other looked like . However, could Shen Congwu be considered a master in front of Chang Baji?
It was unknown how long it had been . The weather was so hot and sultry that it left people soaked in sweat . There were not any traces of cool breeze whatsoever . By the time a drop of sweat flew down Chang Baji’s forehead toward his eyes, Shen Congwu had finally struck out and rushed over at him silently .
Instead of taking Shen Congwu seriously, Chang Baji wiped the drop of sweat off slowly . Meanwhile, Shen Congwu had already rushed over to him in the blink of an eye and kicked at Chang Baji’s shoulders .
Chang Baji stood still on the spot, not moving at all . By the time Shen Congwu stabilized himself, he had already almost kicked Chang Baji’s shoulders successfully . It was not until this moment that Chang Baji chose to fight back . He simply kicked back . However, compared to the speed and force of Shen Congwu’s kick, Chang Baji’s attack was far more ferocious .
A thump rang out .
Shen Congwu’s kick landed directly on Chang Baji’s shoulder . Chang Baji, who had already launched his attack with one foot, was almost motionless . Meanwhile, his kick aimed right at Shen Congwu’s chest .
Thump!
Shen Congwu was knocked into the air . He leaned back as if he were a kite with a broken string, falling down on the ground heavily . Blood immediately gushed out of his mouth .
Everybody on the scene was stupefied by this sight .
Chang Baji, who was simply aggressive, was also really domineering .
