Chapter 848: Please Leave

Following the departure of that middle-aged man, more than ten batches of gifts were received.

Their senders were tycoons who were on the list of wealthiest people, but it wasn’t suitable for them to be present at such an occasion. As a result, they sent their representatives instead.

The first one was the representative of a pig farm owner. The boss was the father of the owner of Lin Qiaole’s good friend. He sent a pig… A real pig. Fortunately, it wasn’t sent to the hotel, but was directly delivered to a house together with the house key.

The next gift was from Mr. Ma of the tech world, who made money from people who paid a huge sum to acquire a strong avatar.

As for the rest, some were from the tech world, the beverage trade, and the automotive industry. If the names of these ten plus people were leaked, it would cause a sensation in the economic and entertainment circles.

Ren Baqian was aware of their motive.

The effects of martial arts had gradually appeared, and many people, especially rich people, were feeling a sense of crisis. When a person’s strength reached a certain stage, especially when the number of individuals with superior strength increased, the sense of superiority would breed a different kind of desire. At such a time, wealth and status were no longer enough to protect them.

Their own cultivation of martial arts was slow, so they needed a good martial arts manual and bodyguards.

Both of these were in Ren Baqian’s hands.

Not to mention the martial arts manuals, Ren Baqian had six branches of martial arts centers, two in the capital city, two in Shanghai, the biggest one in Wuji City, and one more in Yang City.

These martial arts centers usually didn’t advertise or enter any competitions, but were well known. Since they didn’t publicize themselves, they appeared to be more mysterious in the eyes of many people.

Their fame mainly came from the secret videos that were occasionally filmed and posted on the internet. This allowed people to have a glimpse of the “Dayao” martial arts centers, although what was seen was only the tip of the iceberg.

Nevertheless, to those who were in the know, they knew that some of the real masters were a group in the government. The other masters were from these martial arts centers.

There were currently more than 340 disciples in these centers and all were above the Man Wheel level.

There were more than 20 core disciples who had hopes of becoming Earth Wheel experts in five to ten years’ time.

Earth didn’t have the special talents and treasures of the other world, so to be able to attain the Earth Wheel level in such a short time was astonishing.

In the other world, they started cultivating from a young age. Anyone who became an Earth Wheel expert before reaching the age of 20 was considered to be a genius.

For those on Earth who became an Earth Wheel expert within ten years, they would be considered a genius among geniuses if they brought their talent to the other world and had hopes of becoming a Spirit Wheel expert in the future.

If this was achieved within ten years, these core disciples would become the top experts of that world.

In addition, the normal disciples would also become extremely powerful.

Not to mention their future, their present strength was enough to make the rich covet them.

Under such circumstances, Ren Baqian, as the founder of these centers, was more famous than he imagined.

This was particularly the case after many people attempted to recruit these disciples and failed.

All the disciples knew that the centers required points to exchange for resources and advanced martial arts skills. Accomplishing their tasks was the best way to get points.

Furthermore, they usually didn’t need to pay school fees, and the centers even paid them an allowance. Although the allowance wasn’t enough to make them rich, it was enough to feed and clothe them.

Under such circumstances, these disciples couldn’t be recruited by others unless they faced exceptional conditions.

During this period, dozens of self-taught Man Wheel experts appeared in China. As the population was large enough, there was no lack of geniuses in this world.

However, when the elites wanted to recruit these martial artists, they would be rejected if these martial artists had been in contact with the “Dayao” martial arts centers.

Even when they had negotiated with these martial artists, the martial arts centers would often intercept them.

The reason was simple: resources. Although they had money, the martial arts centers had resources that they didn’t have. The most important resources were advanced martial arts skills, which they couldn’t offer no matter how much money they had.

How many talented and brilliant people were willing to be mediocre and cut off their chance to improve?

Therefore, during this period of transformation, the high-end forces were in the hands of the government and these “Dayao” martial arts centers.

For a long time in the foreseeable future, this should remain the case.

Under such circumstances, the name of Ren Baqian naturally spread.

In particular, the boss from the pig farm had managed to hire two experts from Ren Baqian.

If the wedding wasn’t so low key, more people would have heard about it, and the number of people who sent gifts would have been much higher.

…

“Mr. Ren, this is a gift card from my boss.” A middle-aged man offered the card with both hands.

Ren Baqian glanced at the card that showed the name of the tech mogul, Li XX.

He gestured to a winged cavalry warrior and said, “Send this man out.”

The middle-aged man’s face changed immediately as he asked, “Mr. Ren?”

“I do not like your boss! I will not accept his gift,” Ren Baqian said bluntly.

“Mr. Ren, our chairman has never offended you, and furthermore, his status…”

“His status has nothing to do with me. Whether he has offended me or not is immaterial. I just do not like him!” Ren Baqian gave a sardonic grin.

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but a winged cavalry warrior carried him by the neck like he was catching a little chick and dragged the man out.

This unexpected outcome made everyone feel odd.

The man’s backer was among the top 20 richest tycoons, yet Ren Baqain unexpectedly rejected his gift and chased his representative out.

This made people doubt what they were seeing.

Perhaps that tycoon didn’t even know when he had offended this guy.

However, Ren Baqian was too daring. Although everyone wanted to be on good terms with him, his status was incomparable to Mr. Li XX’s.

With this precedent, many people paid close attention to this attitude.

The rest of the people changed their expressions a few times because they were afraid to be thrown out like the other guy.

However, they still had to complete their task, and everyone had been forewarned.

The earlier two gifts were received with a light smile, and Ren Baqian even said, “Convey my thanks to your boss. I will certainly visit them in the future.”

The third one was rejected outright.

“Show this one out too.”

That guy immediately changed his expression.

Those who had presented their gifts earlier showed expressions of schadenfreude.

“Mr. Ren, may I know the reason why?” That guy wanted clarification.

“Why? I don’t like your boss or your company either,” Ren Baqian said these words calmly.

“Are you serious, Mr. Ren?” the guy blurted out.

Ren Baqian gave a “kind” smile, but it gave others the impression of a bear showing its fangs.

The rest of the people thought that he was bluffing. After all, no one would offend two famous people in this nation and fall out with them when presented with a gift.

Normal people wouldn’t do this.

However, Ren Baqian was speaking the truth this time.

One of them was a tech magnate while the other was a real estate tycoon. The family of the latter was among the ten richest in the nation.

Their statuses were high and their influence great.

Other people simply wouldn’t offend them.

However, Ren Baqian didn’t care as they wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

He only remembered two things.

When he wanted to have a circumcision, he was misled by the information provided by that tech company which advocated going to a certain private hospital. Not to mention the outcome, it didn’t leave him with a good impression.

As for the real estate company, Ren Baqian couldn’t afford a house after they entered his area.

Of course, these things happened more than ten years ago.

Yet, Ren Baqian remembered them very clearly.

Whether those issues were related to these people, Ren Baqian didn’t know or care. He simply disliked them.

As for the wedding ceremony… A happy occasion… Too bad, this was the second time and was more for show.

Even if it were the first ceremony, Ren Baqian would still do the same thing.
