Chapter 66
With firm faith in Senior Apprentice Brother: believing that he would not build shoddy projects to pit fellow disciples.
Song Jixing went back to the company to work with peace of mind, occasionally returning to the construction site to help out, helping fellow disciples spur some trees to grow into towering trees before chopping them down for beams. Although this was quite wasteful of spiritual energy, it saved a lot of money.
If not for the lack of spiritual energy in his body, Song Jixing would have considered this side business of spurring tree growth.
There were reasons beams could not be done without, the facade of Qingyun Company's small building.
Yes, Shen Feixian still planned to build a wooden building as the facade of Qingyun Company. Because wood was truly too expensive, he directly ordered Song Jixing to come over and work.
The outer sect disciples were also exceptionally capable, working day and night in shifts with over fifty people, following a blueprint to busily construct a building, the entire process like assembling blocks.
The original construction period of over a month was changed to within one month!
Constructing the building was set in stone, but recruiting students was not.
Thus Song Jixing was ordered directly by Shen Feixian once again to go take over some martial arts schools with him.
Whoever proposed a project, whoever was responsible for it.
Standing at the entrance to Y City's largest soccer hobby class, Huo Ling'er carried the small backpack Shen Feixian had bought second-hand for him. Inside the bag was his little soccer ball.
Song Jixing wore a hat and sunglasses, standing behind Huo Ling'er with Shen Feixian.
Today, the two of them were playing the roles of Huo Ling'er's parents.
Even if they hadn't quite figured out what kind of relative relationship that was for now, they could still make something up.
Although it was about challenging martial arts schools, since neither of them had much experience in that, they chose a compromise, bringing the child to enroll.
The passionate teacher from the hobby class brought them on a tour of the nearby soccer field, looking around while introducing the specialty of their school: "...The grass on our field here is all imported high-end turf from abroad! The grass is extremely tender! Sitting on it definitely won't scrape the children's skin. It can also protect their eyes while the children are running..."
This male teacher was very young, still dressed in a bright soccer uniform, his exposed arms showing obvious muscular lines. Apart from speaking inconsistently, there were no issues. The male teacher spent a long time introducing all kinds of advanced facilities at the hobby class. Seeing that Shen Feixian and Song Jixing were not very interested, he immediately changed his tune.
"The teachers we have invited are all first-rate players from abroad! They have participated in major small and large competitions abroad, won trophies and various certifications. If you two don't mind, you can go take a look in our office..."
Song Jixing glanced at the teachers on the soccer field. Many whose faces couldn't be seen had blonde hair. Apart from the somewhat faded blonde hair, there didn't seem to be any problems. The only one who looked vaguely foreign was sitting in the furthest corner sunbathing.
Song Jixing didn't know if his skin colour was from sun-tanning or natural.
Perhaps seeing Song Jixing and Shen Feixian's unmoved expressions dampened the male teacher. He looked at Huo Ling'er standing by the side still gazing at the soccer field, and passionately said: "We have an open soccer field here, why not let the child try it out?"
"A bunch of children kicking the ball around, with teachers standing by specially to watch out for safety, you two don't need to worry, we also have matching protective gear here!"
Ever since Huo Ling'er entered this soccer field, he had taken out the little soccer ball from his back and hugged it, looking full of enthusiasm.
The male teacher noticed it in his eyes!
At this age, few children truly liked soccer. They definitely liked cellphones and computers more. Either the parents liked soccer and sent them here to learn it, or the parents felt they needed the exercise and simply dumped them here.
Seeing Song Jixing and Shen Feixian's young and refined looks, the male teacher felt it was the latter. There was interest, but mainly there was a lot of money.
"I'll take the child aside to talk for a bit!" Shen Feixian said.
"Go ahead, go ahead! This hobby class depends mainly on the child's willingness. If the child is unwilling, we adults can't force it!" The male teacher spoke understanding words, while being extremely certain in his heart that Huo Ling'er liked soccer.
If he didn't like it, why did he carry a ball with him?
Shen Feixian brought Huo Ling'er to a tree by the sports field and squatted down to softly say in his ear: "Do you still remember what I taught you before going out?"
Huo Ling'er nodded.
"Kick the balls into the goal! Don't leave them a single chance, understand?"
"Understand!" Huo Ling'er nodded again.
"What else?"
Huo Ling'er answered in his tender voice: "Then say they're bad at soccer and I think this place is no good! I remember it all!"
The corners of Shen Feixian's mouth curved up perfectly as he gently patted Huo Ling'er's shoulder and said: "Go on then! Still have to head to the next place after finishing up here!"
Huo Ling'er declined the request to put on protective gear. Hugging his own ball, he went onto the pitch beside them.
The children on this field ranged from tall to short. Even the shortest was still half a head taller than Huo Ling'er. It was as if a preschool child had suddenly popped up among a pile of elementary schoolers.
After the male teacher introducing the school signaled with his eyes, the tall and slender female teacher approached with understanding. She revealed an extremely kind smile to Huo Ling'er.
"Little one, this is your first time here right? Let me introduce things to you..." The female teacher dragged out her words.
Huo Ling'er shook his head. "No need, I just want to play soccer."
"Who wants to take penalty shots with me?" Huo Ling'er turned to ask the group of older children beside him.
Perhaps those children were all tired out from playing. Seeing the teacher going to receive a new little friend, they had all sat down directly on the ground.
Faced with Huo Ling'er's question, they showed absolutely no reaction at all.
Seeing this, the female teacher smiled and said: "Such an amazing little one, even knowing how to take penalty shots! How about teacher play with you?"
Huo Ling'er did not take the female teacher's words to heart. He wanted to find some other playmates to play together with him, not this female teacher right before his eyes.
But with no children voluntarily standing out, he nodded reluctantly. "Fine!"
A child Huo Ling'er's size did not have much strength and could not kick the ball very far.
Only when the first ball shot into the goal did the children on the field feel anything.
So this little twerp could play soccer. He wasn't here to play with them.
Even the female teacher was shocked for a spell, before hurrying to praise Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er did not care about everyone's reactions. He turned back to glance at Shen Feixian behind him.
Currently making gestures at him, pointing at his watch, hinting for him to hurry up!
Huo Ling'er nodded slightly, ran up, and directly retrieved his own ball.
Then began his performance once again.
If it was just scoring goals, that seemed to lack a bit of interest.
Huo Ling'er played directly at the goal, rebounding shots left and right, just like his previous demonstration with Kong Daniu, stunning all the children watching!
It was only after a long time that a child finally spoke up. "Holy shit! So cool! I wanna learn too!"
