Chapter 105: 【092】Eight Extremes Small Frame, Heaven-reaching Palm_2

"Your factory doesn’t care about this kind of situation?" Wang Longhu was greatly puzzled after hearing this.

"There are benefits to regulating, and benefits to not regulating. Although regulating can manage the atmosphere, the benefits are too small. These small factions stick together and recommend hometown folks, childhood friends, and buddies to work here, saving the factory from having to recruit externally." Zheng Dongliang laughed.

Wang Longhu could understand; it’s just like the laborers on construction sites from years ago. Most of them were relatives with no education but strong bodies within their family circles.

If they got a construction job, they would recommend relatives and hometown folks to work there together, all acquaintances looking out for each other at the construction site to avoid being bullied by unfamiliar workers.

The same logic applies to the Zheng family’s factory.

"What kind of small factions are there?" Wang Longhu picked up a stainless steel fast food tray and chopsticks from the utensils area and asked curiously.

"As far as I know, there are three small factions. Min Province borders Gan Province, so a lot of people were recruited from there when the factory was built. The first faction is the Gan Province natives, centered around the Character Gate Fist practitioners, quite skilled.

The second faction comes from the north; they specialize in Baji Fist. Their leader, Zhang Jinbao, is quite impressive. He once drove off a wild bear that wandered into the factory by himself,

The third faction consists of locals from Min Province. The leader, an uncle, practices Tiger Sovereign Fist and is also quite skilled."

Wang Longhu nodded with great interest, not expecting the martial arts atmosphere here to be so strong, bringing together many practitioners.

Character Gate Fist is a native martial art from Gan Province, emphasizing softness overcoming hardness, flexibility overcoming rigidity, and skillful victory. The technique is quite soft, not very famous within the martial arts circles. If Wang Longhu hadn’t obsessively studied online before, he’d probably be quite confused hearing about Character Gate Fist right now.

The Baji Fist was renamed later, and to use Baji Fist to drive off a wild bear, Wang Longhu highly suspects this person might have reached the Ming Jin level.

Tiger Sovereign Fist is one of the seven major types of fists in Min Province, an authentic native boxing style that practices the tiger form. In ancient times, it was known as the ’Yongfu Tiger Sovereign’. When unleashing power, one’s eyes are furious, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, it’s a very powerful style.

"What will you have?"

Seeing Wang Longhu walk to the food serving window, the cafeteria auntie asked with a ladle in hand.

"Beef, bullfrog, turtle, shrimp, chicken drumstick." Wang Longhu unapologetically ordered all the meat dishes. With Zheng Dongliang, the factory’s young master, by his side, he naturally felt free to order whatever he wanted.

"Brother Gang, he’s the one who broke Xiaotan’s hand. Xiaotan can’t work on the mountain for at least two to three months now, so how can he earn money to send back to his family?"

As Wang Longhu watched the cafeteria auntie who wouldn’t waver, serve all his ordered dishes onto the tray, he heard footsteps approaching from not far away.

The sounds got closer; it was clear they were walking towards Wang Longhu.

Turning to look back, he saw seven or eight people striding over, led by a big man with a buzz cut, standing 1.9 meters tall, wearing a plain black T-shirt. His muscular arms seemed ready to burst the shirt at any moment.

Next to him was someone Wang Longhu recognized, another fashionable youngster from the lecture hall who hadn’t been beaten by him before.

"External style master, physique well-trained." Wang Longhu instantly assessed in his mind.

The big man had solid muscles and bones, with calluses that had turned white on the tiger’s mouth and fingers. His fist bones were aligned in a straight line, undoubtedly specializing in the muscle, bone, and skin training of external boxing martial artists.

Such a fighter, in the civilian world, indeed belonged to the most powerful group, and an internal boxing expert even at the Ming Jin level might struggle against him.

"Brother Hu, did you hit someone?" Seeing this scene, Zheng Dongliang hurriedly asked.

"Just a small issue, didn’t expect the martial artists here to cry for their mommies. Truly an eye-opener today." Wang Longhu laughed without holding back his voice.

"Boss, look at this guy being so arrogant, thinking he’s superior because he’s a practitioner." The fashionable youngster complained angrily.

"An expert!"

At the first glance, noticing the obvious bulge at Wang Longhu’s temples but his hands without any training marks, delicate like those of a high schooler studying all day, the big man also made his own assessment in his mind.

"He’s called Guo Shenggang, a Northerner. Usually, others call him Boss; he’s one of the leaders of the northern faction." Zheng Dongliang quietly explained to Wang Longhu, quite excited.

"Young brother, those who come here to gather herbs do it for survival, earning by physical labor. If my brother had some argument with you and you were upset, teaching him a small lesson for a few days would be one thing. But he’s out for a few months, unable to earn wages. With his family having four or five people waiting for his money, wasn’t your action a bit excessive?"

Guo Shenggang stopped three steps away from Wang Longhu, questioning with stern eyes.

When such small civilian factions form, no matter what happens, they always support the people rather than the principles.

Which means they will always side with their own people, irrespective of who made the mistake, never outsiders, even if outsiders have absolute reason.

And if there’s an internal conflict, then it’s about who has higher status, better connections, who gains support of the rationale.

The fashionable youth who acted against Wang Longhu, not to mention hadn’t reached Ming Jin, at best was just a newbie for martial arts, someone Wang Longhu could easily best with a casual strike.
