Chapter 2414: To Teach Kung Fu
“It’s fine. We won’t be bothered. If we have anything important to deal with, we’ll be honest with you. You don’t need to hide your feelings when you’re with us, and there’s no need to force yourself to do anything just to please us. We belong to the same sect after all,” Gu Ning said to comfort them. She didn’t want to burden them mentally.
If it was really inconvenient, Gu Ning wouldn’t have agreed to bring Jiang Liluo and Si Jin with just because Shangguan Yang asked her to. Shangguan Yang wouldn’t force her either.
After hearing what Gu Ning said, Jiang Liluo and Si Jin were relieved. Although they were outgoing and straightforward, they still worried because they weren’t very close yet.
They didn’t doubt Gu Ning’s words, and could feel her sincerity. Therefore, they relaxed.
“I heard from Senior Shangguan that Junior Leng reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage within a year of cultivation. And Junior Gu, you also got to the peak of the Heartbeat Stage within only half a year. It’s really unbelievable. We’ve never heard of such talented people before,” said Jiang Liluo with admiration.
Although he was aware of Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting’s level, they didn’t know that they made that achievement within a year.
Before that, they were only mortals. Leng Shaoting became a cultivator because he had the blood of cultivators, while Gu Ning became a cultivator after being a mortal.
“I know we’re very lucky. We’re also surprised that we have such talent,” said Gu Ning. That was all she could say. After all, she couldn’t tell them that she had the Blood of the Phoenix.
She had it, but Leng Shaoting didn’t, so Leng Shaoting was really talented.
“Oh, how much do you know about the food in modern society now?” Gu Ning asked.
“In the past few days, we’ve roughly learned about the region of our country. The words are the same as before, but we used traditional characters in ancient times. Now people use simplified characters. I can’t recognize some of them, but it’s not difficult to learn. We also learned to use mobile phones, but we still don’t know how to use it very well. We know how to use WeChat, make calls, text messages, and to search things on the Internet. Speaking of that, the Internet is really magical. Many things can be found on it. We also read information about you on the Internet, Junior Gu! You’re so impressive. I can’t believe that you can do so much at such a young age!” Si Jin said, not hiding her sincere appreciation and admiration for Gu Ning.
Cultivators had a very good memory. Although they didn’t have a photographic memory like Gu Ning did, they could quickly master what they needed to learn.
During the past few days, they didn’t go out, but they never stopped learning about the new world.
They couldn’t wait to get to know this world as much as possible, then they would find themselves a job. Even though Shangguan Yang was willing to support them, they felt that they should rely on themselves to live.
Gu Ning felt a little shy being complimented by them so she rubbed her nose. In fact, she had special skills that other people didn’t have.
However, she wouldn’t admit it, because she was reluctant to let more people know about it. It was enough that Shangguan Yang, Jing Yunyao, and Leng Shaoting knew.
“Sometimes, it’s good luck and connections,” said Gu Ning.
“Junior Gu, you’re being modest. Good luck and connections are necessary, but your abilities are also very important. Without the ability, you wouldn’t be able to become so successful by just relying on good luck and powerful connections,” said Jiang Liluo.
It was proved by time that good luck and connections were indispensable. If a person had the ability, good luck, and connections, he or she would be very likely to become successful.
If one only had the ability, but lacked good luck and connections, he or she could still become successful, but it would be more difficult.
“You’re right, Senior Jiang.” Gu Ning agreed on that, because she had the same idea.
“Junior Gu, we’ve briefly learned about the current jobs. We think we will probably work best as kung fu coaches. We can teach people kung fu. What do you think?” Jiang Liluo asked Gu Ning.
Although he and Si Jin learned that the job really existed in this world, they knew very little about it, so they could only turn to Gu Ning for help.
They asked Gu Ning, instead of Leng Shaoting, not because they had bias against him, but because they didn’t know that Leng Shaoting was also involved in business. They felt that Gu Ning should know more about it since she was a successful businesswoman.
“I actually also think that you can be kung fu teachers. It’s your advantage after all. I didn’t talk with you about it, because I hoped that you could learn more about the current world. That way you can make a choice based on your own interest,” said Gu Ning. She understood that they were very likely to work in the martial art industry, but she still decided to wait for their own answer.
If she mentioned it first, it would seem as if she interfered in their choices.
“I can offer you a job if you want to work as kung fu teachers. You don’t need to get in through the back door, because you’re exactly what I want. It’ll be my honor if you can work in my company. Our relationship doesn’t matter at all. If you don’t want to join my company, I can recommend you to other companies. You don’t have to work for me. I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable,” said Gu Ning.
Although it was a little waste of their talent if two cultivators went to work in a company to make a living, it was their best choice now.
Moreover, Gu Ning would let them either be senior security guards or martial art consultants for her movies. They wouldn’t have much free time, but they could get a high salary.
If they were willing to be senior security guards, they could get a 5% commission for each task.
As senior security guards, they would be paid ten thousand yuan per day. Therefore, they could get a commission of five hundred yuan on a day-long task.
Although Gu Ning’s security company didn’t have many deals yet, a senior security guard could make at least forty thousand yuan every month.
They also only needed to work for ten to fifteen days, so they would be free for most of the month.
When they weren’t busy, they could go to work at a nine to five job. They could practice their fighting skills in the morning and go to an office in the afternoon..
