Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

At that time in Hong Kong, taxis were generally chosen by foreigners or wealthy people.

For ordinary Hong Kong residents, the most common mode of transportation is still the rickshaw.

Because in a place like Hong Kong, riding in a rickshaw while enjoying the sea breeze is a very pleasant option.

Especially in the days before cars were common in every household, many people suffered from motion sickness.

"As expected of an international metropolis, it looks much more developed than Beijing!" Looking at the scenery outside, Yang Tai muttered to Xiao Shan in a low voice, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Listening to Yang Tai's mutterings, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. After all, Hong Kong has been developing under John Bull for so many years, while our country is still young and in its early stages. In just a few years, Beijing's development will catch up with Hong Kong's!"

Xiaoshan is quite confident in the speed of its country's development.

After the great man drew a circle, the country's development speed was like a rocket.

The car was parked outside the stadium, and Xiao Shan casually paid the fares for two taxis.

Watching the taxi drive away, Yang Tai said with a pained expression, "Brother Xiaoshan, taking a taxi in Hong Kong isn't cheap!"

“That’s right, after all, taxis are still a luxury these days!” Xiao Shan said with a smile.

Leading the group to the entrance of the competition venue, Xiao Shan spoke with the waiter standing at the door in English and asked about some details of today's preliminary round.

The waiter initially ignored Xiao Shan and his group because they were dressed in unfashionable Zhongshan suits.

But upon hearing Xiaoshan's authentic London accent, he immediately became enthusiastic.

Upon entering the arena, Xiao Shan and his group were met with disdain from a bunch of people dressed in suits and bow ties, looking all high and mighty.

After all, those who can participate in the No Limits Fighting Tournament are not ordinary people.

Having received so many disdainful looks, Xiao Shan was starting to get annoyed.

Tan Chengjia was also extremely frustrated at this time.

He followed the address given by the patriot to find a contact, and arrived at a lavishly decorated restaurant, only to be stopped by the doorman.

The reason given was that he was improperly dressed!

Tan Chengjia felt that when going to a restaurant to get the address of patriots, the more low-key one's attire, the less attention one would attract.

So he didn't wear the Zhongshan suit he brought from Beijing, but instead wore a coarse cloth jacket.

As a result, this coarse cloth jacket not only failed to be discreet, but instead made Tan Chengjia stand out exceptionally.

After all, those who frequent this restaurant are all well-dressed so-called upper-class people.

Unable to enter the restaurant, Tan Chengjia had no choice but to go to the stadium to find Xiao Shan and his team to see how their match was going.

However, Tan Chengjia did not expect that his outfit would still be stopped by the doorman outside the stadium.

This really left Tan Chengjia speechless.

Left with no other option, Tan Chengjia could only wait outside the stadium under the scorching sun for Xiao Shan's group to come out.

At this moment, Xiao Shan and Yang Tai had found their respective arenas and were preparing to engage in unrestricted combat with their opponents.

Today is the preliminary round, and Xiaoshan will play a total of five matches.

Only by winning all five games can they advance to the second round.

Xiaoshan's first opponent was a Taekwondo athlete from South Korea.

This guy immediately looked at Xiao Shan with his squinty eyes and a mocking expression.

He seemed to think that Xiao Shan was not worthy of being his opponent.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Shan quickly knocked out the arrogant Taekwondo athlete.

The referee was stunned when he saw the Taekwondo athlete who was knocked out by Xiao Shan: Are South Korean athletes this fast?

However, the referee was a seasoned veteran and quickly regained his composure, counting the South Korean players.

Seeing that the South Korean player was sleeping soundly on the ground, completely ignoring the referee's counting, the referee directly announced that Xiao Shan was the winner.

The two logistics personnel who came with Xiao Shan were also shocked to see how easily Xiao Shan won.

They originally thought Xiao Shan was just a theorist, but they didn't expect him to be so good in actual combat!

Half an hour later, Xiao Shan encountered his second opponent, a ninja from Japan.

Perhaps this ninja had watched the previous match between Xiaoshan and the South Korean player, so to avoid being knocked out, the ninja started throwing shurikens right from the start.

It seems they intend to wear down Xiaoshan through ranged attacks before finding an opportunity to finish him off.

If this ninja had encountered Zhang He, he might have actually been able to buy him some time.

Unfortunately, he encountered Xiaoshan.

Xiao Shan caught the shuriken thrown by the ninja, then swung it back and struck the ninja in the throat.

Seeing the ninja lying stiffly on the ground, the referee didn't bother to count and quickly called for the Japanese to come up and carry the ninja away for first aid.

Seeing the ninja being carried away for emergency treatment, the referee then declared Xiao Shan the winner!

Although it's only the preliminary round, Xiaoshan's performance in these two matches has already attracted the attention of some viewers.

So when the third match in Xiaoshan started, the number of spectators around the ring had obviously increased.

Among these people, some were sent by Xiaoshan's future opponents to gather intelligence, while most were simply spectators who wanted to watch an exciting match.

Xiaoshan didn't have any negative feelings towards these onlookers.

After all, if I were a spectator standing around the ring, I would also want to see a more exciting match.

So in the next two games, Xiao Shan quickly defeated his two opponents and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

After filling out the semi-final form, Xiao Shan went to the ring where Yang Tai was to watch his match.

Although Yang Taisheng's speed was not as fast as Xiao Shan's, he was still more than capable of handling the preliminary round contestants.

Only after Yang Tai successfully advanced to the semi-finals did the group leave the competition venue.

Then they saw Tan Chengjia squatting pitifully at the entrance of the stadium, his head covered in sweat.

Seeing Xiao Shan and the others come out, Tan Chengjia felt like he had seen a savior and quickly ran over.

"Tan, what are you doing here? Aren't you...?" Xiao Shan looked at Tan Chengjia in surprise.

Tan Chengjia gave a wry smile: "Don't mention it! By the way, do you have any water to drink?"

Seeing that Tan Chengjia's lips were peeling, Xiao Shan immediately took out his water bottle and handed it to Tan Chengjia.

After taking the water bottle, Tan Chengjia couldn't wait to tilt his head back and drink.

Seeing that Tan Chengjia had finished half a kettle of water, Zhang He handed him his own kettle.

Tan Chengjia returned the empty water bottle to Xiao Shan, then shook his head as he looked at the water bottle Zhang He handed him.

Tan Chengjia then told Xiao Shan and the others about his experience.

After saying that, Tan Chengjia sighed, "We can't be dressed like this. Let's go see if there are any suits for sale on the street. Let's each buy a suit!"

While squatting outside the stadium, Tan Chengjia noticed that the men entering and leaving the stadium were mostly wearing suits.

Xiao Shan and his companions' attire was also out of place here.

Tan Chengjia knew without a doubt that although they were allowed in, they probably wouldn't have an easy time inside.

Besides, Xiao Shan and Yang Tai are representing China in this competition. It's a small matter if he and the support staff are looked down upon by others, but we can't let Xiao Shan and Yang Tai be looked down upon!

Seeing Tan Chengjia's serious expression, Xiao Shan nodded, and then led Tan Chengjia and the others to the street to find a suit shop.

After searching for a while, Xiao Shan and his group arrived at a suit store.

The owner of the suit shop was a little dumbfounded when he saw so many people suddenly come in.

I've already paid my protection money this month!

The boss breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xiao Shan and his group had come to look at suits.

Although the owner doesn't speak Mandarin, he can still understand some of what he says because he has served some Mandarin-speaking customers before.

Xiao Shan also noticed that the boss's Mandarin was not very good, so he decisively switched to Cantonese.

The Cantonese spoken in Xiaoshan was learned from movies and TV series before the time travel. Although it's not very standard, it's enough for the boss to understand.

When Xiao Shan found out the price of the suits in the store from the shop owner, Tan Chengjia and the others couldn't help but gasp.

This is too expensive!

Tan Chengjia did have some Hong Kong dollars on him, which he used when he went out alone in Hong Kong.

However, the Hong Kong dollars Tan Chengjia had weren't even enough to buy a single suit.

"These are all ready-made clothes, so they're expensive! If they're custom-made, they can be cheaper!" The shop owner, naturally understanding the expressions on Tan Chengjia and the others' faces, explained with a smile.

The boss had already figured it out; these people had probably just come from the mainland and didn't have much money in their pockets.

However, since the boss was also from the mainland, he didn't look down on Xiao Shan and his group.

Tan Chengjia touched the Hong Kong dollars in his pocket and whispered to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, let's go back and ask our superiors for some funds first, and then come back tomorrow to buy you and Yang Tai suits!"

"Aren't you going to buy it?" Yang Tai asked after hearing Tan Chengjia's words.

Tan Chengjia shook his head and said, "It's too expensive! I'll just buy you two a suit, we don't need one! Anyway, we're here to provide logistical support for you, wearing suits would just be in our way!"

Hearing Tan Chengjia say this, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Brother Tan, if it's just buying two outfits, I should have enough money! Before I came out, I exchanged some Hong Kong dollars, planning to buy some things to take back with me after I got here!"

“No, you’re representing the country in this competition, how can you expect to pay for it yourselves?” Tan Chengjia quickly shook his head.

Hearing Tan Chengjia say this, Xiaoshan couldn't very well say that the government wouldn't have to pay for it.

After all, if he said that, it would be tantamount to pushing Yang Tai into a corner.

For Yang Tai, the price of this suit was astronomical!

"I'll pay for the suit first, so I don't have to make another trip later!" Xiao Shan said to Tan Chengjia. "You can pay me back the rest when we get back!"

After pondering for a moment, Tan Chengjia nodded.

Seeing that Tan Chengjia agreed, Xiao Shan asked the shop owner to take his and Yang Tai's measurements and then try on the clothes.

Because Xiao Shan and Yang Tai both have very standard builds, they quickly found suitable suits.

Looking at the suit that cost nearly 500 Hong Kong dollars, Yang Tai hesitated and said, "This suit is too expensive. Maybe we should just forget about it! Anyway, we'll have to change into our training clothes for the competition. We'll only wear this suit when we enter the arena. There's no need for it!"

"No way!" Tan Chengjia looked at Yang Tai with a serious expression and said, "You and Xiaoshan are going to participate in the semi-finals. We can't let those opponents and the audience look down on us!"

"As for Zhang He and the others, we can just wear the Zhongshan suits we brought; they're formal attire anyway!"

After all, this kind of suit can only be worn in Hong Kong; in Beijing, the Zhongshan suit still reigns supreme.

If you wear a suit and tie in Beijing, you might get arrested on the spot by the local people.

After Xiao Shan paid with Hong Kong dollars, the owner of the suit shop smiled and wrapped the suits they had chosen layer by layer in an exquisite cardboard box before putting them inside.

The shop owner handed the cardboard box to Xiao Shan and his group, and with a smile, saw them out of the suit shop.

Back at the hotel, Xiao Shan said to Tan Chengjia, "Brother Tan, there's no match tomorrow. Is there anything we can help you with?"

Tan Chengjia shook his head and said to Xiao Shan in a low voice, "I haven't been connected yet. I'll call you if I need anything once I'm connected."

"No problem!" Xiao Shan said with a smile.

"Oh, right, I'm going out again this afternoon, and I need to borrow your new suit to wear!" Tan Chengjia said to Xiao Shan somewhat embarrassedly.

"no problem!"

After lunch, Tan Chengjia rested at the hotel for a while.

Then he put on Xiaoshan's suit and hurriedly went out.

After all, he had to race against time to get in touch with the patriots and discuss how to get these materials back!

When he crossed the border into Hong Kong, his luggage was checked three or four times.

If they hadn't used his friend Xiao Shan's name, they would probably have been thoroughly investigated from head to toe.

If the checks in Hong Kong are this strict, it will only be more difficult for Tan Chengjia to smuggle these documents back.
