Chapter 97: 【090】Nature of Work

Fu City, also known as Rongcheng, is the provincial capital of Min Province, and its prosperity rivals that of Hang City.

As Zheng Dongliang drove into the city, Wang Longhu was instantly captivated by the World Trade International Center building.

Living in Dong County where the average building height is less than thirty meters, suddenly seeing these skyscrapers in the city was quite a shock.

"Where are we going to have fun tonight, any plans from Young Master Zheng?" Zhou Juanjie leaned on the back of his chair, completely indifferent to the street view of Fu City.

Having lived in this city for over twenty years, he had long lost interest in these sights.

"Are you really thinking about playing despite having a concussion? Aren’t you worried about the risks?" Zheng Dongliang turned his head, taunting him jokingly.

"I didn’t just lie in the hospital for so many days for nothing, I’ve fully recovered. Any worries left would be unfounded. Let’s go to Sky Bar for drinks. If you didn’t arrange anything, it’ll be on me. Wang Longhu saved my life; now he’s here on my turf, I definitely need to show him a good time."

Zhou Juanjie turned back with a smile to Wang Longhu sitting behind, "Bro, let me take care of tonight’s plan and introduce you to Fu City’s nightlife."

For these thrill-seeking rich kids, bars are definitely regular hangouts. Originally, Wang Longhu planned to practice martial arts tonight, but since they spoke with such good intentions, he found it hard to refuse.

Having lived twenty-five years without visiting Fu City, tonight would be a rare indulgence.

Zheng Dongliang roared down the road in his RS6, the massive roar at each green light attracting curious glances from passersby.

Over twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the entrance of a community with an extremely luxurious facade, and all three cars drove in one after another.

Though Wang Longhu wasn’t familiar with the community, judging by the interior decoration and landscaping, he could instantly tell that the housing prices here must be high.

"Let’s rest at my place for a bit, I’ll order some private chef delivery, power up and then we’ll head to Sky Bar to have a whole night of fun."

Parking in the underground garage, Zheng Dongliang cut off the engine and stepped out, ready to arrange today’s itinerary with a smile.

As soon as Wang Longhu got out of the car, he saw the private parking spots nearby filled with an array of luxury cars, if not a Porsche 911, it’s a Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls, Maserati, even the latest GTR.

At this point, if you come with a BBA, unless it’s a rare model like a G-class, AMG, Mpower, RS, you’ll appear inferior.

Wang Longhu was indeed somewhat shocked to see so many luxury cars parked together, something he hadn’t experienced in Hang City during his time there.

The quality of the parking garage can tell you exactly about the level of luxury within a community.

Without a doubt, this must be a super-rich neighborhood.

However, Wang Longhu quickly calmed his emotions, no longer surprised.

With his level of martial arts skill, honestly, earning the money for a sports car isn’t difficult. With Wang Longhu’s skills, plenty of wealthy people would pay handsomely to hire him as a bodyguard.

Money is external, the realm is the foundation of oneself. If a martial artist values these material things too much, lost in the indulgence of a glamorous lifestyle,

his power advancement will be greatly hindered, it might even regress.

"Brother Hu, want to have a thrill? That Aventador is mine, 6.5L V12 engine, 720 horsepower, 0-100 start needs just 2.8s, the acceleration feels as thrilling as flying a plane."

Noticing Wang Longhu’s gaze at the luxury cars, Zheng Dongliang immediately asked enthusiastically.

"Forget it, why don’t you tell me what your company brought me to Min Province specifically to do? So I can warm up a bit." Wang Longhu shook his head, decisively declining.

In terms of thrill, can driving a Lamborghini compare to leaping between treetops in the forest?

In terms of excitement, can driving a Lamborghini equal practicing martial arts at over thirty meters deep underwater during a typhoon?

The dangers Wang Longhu has experienced can’t be described as thrill or excitement, they are essentially life-threatening, which these wealthy kids can never really experience.

"Here’s the situation, we have a factory in Datian, Sanming City, that artificially cultivates wild herbs. The herbs grown mainly supply the market, sold to hospitals and pharmacies for medication,"

And Datian is adjacent to Min Province’s most primitive forest, where many medicinal herbs grow. The deeper and more rugged the terrain in the mountains, the older the growth of the herbs, the higher the value,

Take Min Province’s most famous wild Gold-thread Lotus, with no side effects, can be consumed as tea, after prolonged drinking can remove spots, enhance beauty, prevent cardiovascular diseases, also treat acute and chronic hepatitis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,

It sells for 4500 per kilogram in the market, and for those of older age, the price can be even higher. My company will pay to hire martial artists in need of money to help delve into the primal forest in Datian County to pick wild herbs,

Then the company will purchase their harvest at the average market price, with a monthly salary of 20,000 and an end-of-year bonus during the New Year."

Zheng Dongliang explained in detail, and Wang Longhu easily understood, realizing they brought him here for a job as a herb gatherer.

This actually amused Wang Longhu; anyone capable of going into the primal forest for this kind of work must not be ordinary, either people with mountain experience capable of surviving in the wild,

Or martial artists with physical abilities far beyond the average person, this is one area in this peaceful era where martial artists have some use beyond fighting.

Additionally, the salary and benefits are quite good; practicing martial arts is not all about fighting; martial artists also need to eat and support their families.

"Interesting, so when do I start?" Wang Longhu asked eagerly.

Entering the primal forest, seeking dangerous places to practice martial arts is exactly his main reason for leaving Dong County on this trip.

"Uh, Brother Hu, no need to rush, I’ll take you to Datian in a couple of days; enjoy the good food and fun in Fu City for now; otherwise, when you get to Datian th-...

Before long, you’ll understand what real hardship is," said Zheng Dongliang scratching his head, hastily.

He hadn’t expected Wang Longhu to be so passionate about going into the mountains to gather herbs.

His company’s martial artists, after a single trip to the mountains, none returned without uttering complaints.

To gather more herbs, one would need to remain in the mountains for an extended period, while the primal forest maintains its natural ecology, with mosquitoes, snakes, beasts, poisonous creatures, and swampy land, the environment is extremely harsh.

Even martial artists, agile and nimble, facing such conditions are likely to encounter life-threatening dangers, it is not an easy task.

Nonetheless, Zheng Dongliang assumed Wang Longhu is a newcomer, doing this special job for the first time naturally brings excitement; but after several trips to the mountains, the current enthusiasm would gradually fade away.

Every martial artist working at Zheng Dongliang’s home company feels this way; none can maintain enthusiasm continually.

Moreover, after working for a long time, they felt that although they gave their all, the earnings weren’t enough, with the major portion scooped by the company.

This led to the incident at Banping Mountain Residence, involving four men attempting to kidnap Zheng Dongliang, secretly selling off wild herbs gathered during their work for his company to third parties.
