Just as Liu Xiaobao was about to say a few more words to Xuezhi, Xuezhi turned around and went back to the bar to get busy.
Seeing that Xuezhi didn't seem to have time to pay attention to him, Liu Xiaobao didn't stay any longer. He finished his coffee in one gulp and got up to leave the coffee shop.
Back in his room, Liu Xiaobao immediately spotted Su Jie doing push-ups, wearing only a vest.
Seeing that Su Jie wasn't panting and wasn't sweating at all, Liu Xiaobao didn't think much of it, assuming that Su Jie had just done a few push-ups.
As he took off his coat, he asked Su Jie, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"I ate half an hour ago, Mr. Bao. Weren't you on a date? Why are you back so soon?"
When Su Jie replied to Liu Xiaobao, he didn't even look up and continued doing his push-ups.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but curl his lip: "What, are you looking down on me?"
Su Jie replied, "I was just curious. As far as I know, when other people go out on a date, they have a meal, watch a movie, and chat for a while, which takes at least three hours. But you, Mr. Bao, came back in less than an hour."
Suppressing his resentment, Liu Xiaobao threw a remark at Su Jie.
"What do you know? Chasing a woman is like making soup; you have to simmer it slowly for a long time to get the flavor! If you spend hours together every day right after you meet, it'll make her lose interest. A little distance will keep her curious about me..."
At this point, Liu Xiaobao suddenly stopped and then exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey? Su Jie, your physical fitness is amazing! I saw you do so many push-ups in a row, and you don't seem to get tired at all, and you didn't even break a sweat!"
Chapter 35 I've struck gold! (Please add to your favorites and give me flowers!)
Little did Liu Xiaobao know that he had only seen Su Jie do more than a hundred push-ups.
Before he returned, Su Jie had already done push-ups for more than ten minutes.
So the actual number of push-ups Su Jie did was far more than what Liu Xiaobao was seeing.
Su Jie didn't think he was anything special; he simply replied to Liu Xiaobao truthfully.
"These are just a few push-ups. My master trained me strictly from a young age, and I could do push-ups for an hour without even breaking a sweat."
Now that he had some free time, and the conversation had come up with Su Jie, Liu Xiaobao wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about Su Jie.
Liu Xiaobao tentatively asked, "Judging from your physique, could you be one of those legendary martial arts masters?"
"Yes, I've been learning martial arts from my master since I was a child, and it's been about twenty years now."
Upon hearing Su Jie's admission, Liu Xiaobao was surprised and couldn't help but ask curiously, "So how good are your skills? Can you take on several at once? Ten?"
Su Jie suddenly stopped, then slammed his hand on the floor. He had just been doing push-ups, but now he was standing up straight, like a zombie in a movie.
This scene shocked Liu Xiaobao.
At this moment, Su Jie looked at Liu Xiaobao and answered him seriously.
"I don't know how to answer your questions, because apart from my master, I have never fought anyone to the point of using my full strength. If the opponent is an ordinary person, and they are all unarmed, I should be able to take on a hundred of them without any problem."
After hearing Su Jie's words, Liu Xiaobao felt as if he had struck gold.
He never imagined that his whim would lead him to a master.
However, Liu Xiaobao did not show too much excitement on his face. He was worried that Su Jie would leave him after realizing his value.
So Liu Xiaobao was overjoyed inside, but remained outwardly calm, and simply asked another question with a composed expression.
"Being able to take on a hundred ordinary people by yourself is already quite impressive. But Su Jie, I'm curious, judging from what you've said, your master must be even more powerful than you, so how did he get cancer?"
Su Jie looked at Liu Xiaobao as if he were an idiot and replied, "Boss Bao, practicing martial arts is not like cultivating immortality. We are just ordinary people, eating grains and vegetables. How can we avoid birth, aging, sickness and death?"
"Ahem...that's true!" Liu Xiaobao coughed twice to cover up the somewhat 'idiotic' question he had just asked.
Then Liu Xiaobao said to Su Jie, "Okay, Su Jie, since you're quite skilled, you don't need to be my assistant anymore. Let's make the best use of your talents. From now on, you can be my bodyguard. I'll pay you 10,000 yuan a month. What do you think?"
Su Jie replied without any emotion, "I've already said it before, Mr. Bao. Since you paid for my master's hospitalization, my life is yours for the rest of my days. Whatever you want me to do, I will do!"
Liu Xiaobao found Su Jie rather boring and couldn't help but tease him, "Would you go kill someone if I asked you to?"
Su Jie's expression turned cold, and he said, "Who does Mr. Bao want to kill? Just give the order!"
Liu Xiaobao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Relax, relax, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaobao seemed to remember something, got up and went to his bedroom. When he came out, he had a wad of banknotes in his hand.
"Here is HK$50,000. Go downstairs now and buy two well-fitting suits. Keep the rest of the money for spending money in case of emergency. From now on, except when I go on dates with women, you will stay by my side and be responsible for my safety."
Su Jie didn't say much or stand on ceremony. He took the money Liu Xiaobao handed him, said "okay," put on his coat, and went out.
Only after Su Jie's figure disappeared and the door closed did Liu Xiaobao let out an excited cheer.
"Wow, I've struck gold!"
Liu Xiaobao knew that most things in this world could be bought with money, but there were also many things that money couldn't buy.
Su Jie is one such expert.
Liu Xiaobao knew very well that if it weren't for the coincidence that Su Jie's master fell ill and was short of money, and that he happened to run into him, it would have been impossible to bribe a master like Su Jie with 100,000 yuan.
Now that Su Jie, a master, is by Liu Xiaobao's side, his safety is assured.
If someone like Du Honggen were to act arrogantly in front of Liu Xiaobao now, Liu Xiaobao could directly confront them head-on without needing to borrow anyone else's name.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xiaobao's personal safety is guaranteed, which makes him feel more at ease.
He aspires to become a financial tycoon in this world. If he lacks any ability to protect himself, then no matter how much money he has, it may end up belonging to someone else.
For example, Li Ka-shing, a tycoon in Hong Kong, had his son kidnapped by a notorious thief in 1996 and was extorted for 1 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Therefore, while making money is important, personal safety is equally important.
Now that he has a master like Su Jie by his side, Liu Xiaobao can focus more on achieving his goal of becoming a financial tycoon.
Today is definitely a happy day for Liu Xiaobao.
First, he met Zhou Huimin as he wished, then he unexpectedly met Xuezhi, and finally he suddenly realized that he had found such a treasure as Su Jie!
In high spirits, Liu Xiaobao ordered a bottle of red wine to his room and leisurely enjoyed it by himself, even humming a little tune.
"We ordinary people are really, really happy today..."

The day after arriving in Hong Kong,
Zhou Huimin is indeed a person of her word.
Liu Xiaobao hadn't even gotten out of bed when the landline phone in the room rang. It was Zhou Huimin calling.
Zhou Huimin told Liu Xiaobao that she had contacted a director who was looking for investment for him last night, and that the director would come to room 666 of the Peninsula Hotel this morning to talk to him.
It seemed that Zhou Huimin had to rush to work. After informing Liu Xiaobao, she hung up the phone in a hurry before Liu Xiaobao could thank her.
Only Liu Xiaobao remained, staring blankly at the constantly ringing busy phone.
However, after regaining his senses, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
"That's good. I didn't have a chance to thank her over the phone, so now I have the opportunity to thank her in person and a reason to meet her!"
Now that he was awake, Liu Xiaobao didn't go back to sleep. He glanced at the time and saw that it was already past eight o'clock, so he simply got out of bed.
After washing up, he opened the bedroom door and saw Su Jie, dressed in a sharp suit, walking towards him.
And you know what? Clothes really do make the man, and Su Jie really does look like a bodyguard from Zhongnanhai with this outfit.
Liu Xiaobao didn't ask Su Jie how much he spent on clothes last night, but just praised him and then told him to call and order breakfast to be brought to his room.
After the two finished breakfast, it was exactly nine o'clock.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Su Jie, immediately on alert, rushed ahead of Liu Xiaobao to book a room.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao not only didn't blame Su Jie for his rudeness, but also praised Su Jie's actions, saying he was behaving like a bodyguard.
Su Jie only opened the door halfway. Liu Xiaobao didn't see the person outside the door, but he heard a male voice with a heavy Hong Kong accent speaking broken Mandarin coming from the doorway.
"Hello, I was introduced by Ms. Zhou Huimin to come see Mr. Abao!"
Although the other person's Mandarin pronunciation was very non-standard, Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie could still understand it.
Su Jie glanced back at Liu Xiaobao, and seeing Liu Xiaobao nod slightly at him, he opened the door to let the person outside in.
When the visitor entered the house, Liu Xiaobao was greatly shocked when he saw the person's face.
Because Liu Xiaobao had already recognized the person who came. This person was a very famous director in Hong Kong who had made many classic films. He was the famous director known as "Old Monster Tsui" - Tsui Ke.
Liu Xiaobao never expected that Zhou Huimin could introduce him to such a famous director.
Upon recognizing Xu Ke, Liu Xiaobao quickly stood up to greet him.
"I never expected that the person Miss Zhou introduced me to would be Director Xu. I've heard so much about you!"
Xu Ke said modestly, "Mr. Bao, you're too kind. You're a big boss, how could a small director like me possibly catch your eye!"
"Director Xu, you're too modest. Please, Director Xu, have a seat!" Liu Xiaobao invited Xu Ke to sit down, and at the same time, he personally poured Xu Ke a cup of tea to show his respect.
"Thank you!" Xu Ke said, then continued, "Mr. Bao, you are a big boss and must be very busy, so I won't waste your time and will get straight to the point."
Liu Xiaobao nodded and replied, "I don't like beating around the bush either, it wastes too much time. Director Xu, let's just get straight to the point!"
“Mr. Abao, I heard from Ms. Vivian Chow that you are looking for suitable films to invest in, right?”
