Chapter 348: It can be seen that this cat has a lot of face

“I’ve had dinner, I’m not very hungry right now. But Li Li, are you sure you’re okay with eating chili peppers?” Li Hao asked, looking at Li Li after hearing this.

He knew exactly how many chili peppers had been added while making this dish. Was Li Li really not afraid of getting his mouth swollen from the spice?

“Of course, it’s no problem. This cat is so powerful. It’s just a small chili pepper, it’s nothing at all,” Li Li said nonchalantly after hearing this. This little bit of spiciness wouldn’t even be enough to tickle his tongue, let alone make it spicy? It was simply wishful thinking.

“Really? Then eat up.” Li Hao nodded, then rested his chin on his hand, his eyes becoming somewhat vacant.

Seeing this, A Liang, who was sitting beside him, said, “Brother Li Hao, are you worried about opening the martial arts school? There’s no need to be so worried. The world is quietly changing, with ghosts and monsters appearing everywhere. Ordinary people have no way to access cultivation.”

“So, they will definitely choose martial arts, which is relatively easy to learn and master. And at this time, if we open a martial arts school, as long as we show that we have real skills, we don’t have to worry about not having students.”

“That’s right, look how insightful this bro is,” Li Li chimed in. “You can teach the basic leg techniques, and this bro can teach the basic fist techniques. One fist, one leg, both offense and defense, capable of fighting and running, how great is that?”

“I hope so.” Li Hao sighed after hearing this, still not very optimistic. After all, this was starting a business, not playing around. How could it be so easy?

“Uh, Fat Raccoon Cat, you want me to teach fist techniques?” A Liang was stunned after hearing this. “But I only know the Seven Directions Killing Fist. Are you sure it’s okay for me to teach that?”

He knew fist techniques, but only one.

Could it be that Fat Raccoon Cat wanted him to teach the Seven Directions Killing Fist?

“Of course not. How could we teach that kind of thing? What if they cause trouble later?” Li Li shook his head, holding his rice bowl, and tossed a secret manual to A Liang. “Here! This is a basic fist technique. You teach them this. It will allow them to experience the actual effects while also giving them a certain ability to protect themselves. The most important thing is that they can’t use it for evil after learning it.”

If they really taught these guys real skills, who knows what they would do after learning them? If they used it for evil, wouldn’t they be aiding and abetting the evildoers?

So, it was better to teach them some basic techniques. This way, it would be easy to learn and effective in a short time.

“Okay, as expected of Fat Raccoon Cat, you’ve thought it through.” A Liang couldn’t help but say after receiving the manual.

He didn’t expect Li Li, a cat, to be so thoughtful when doing things. This was really beyond his expectations.

“Of course, after all, it was this cat who proposed it. This cat definitely needs to improve the plan.” Li Li said with a smile, putting down his bowl. “Alright, this cat has finished eating. It’s time to go see Uncle.”

“Huh? Fat Raccoon Cat, you eat so fast? I haven’t even started yet.” A Liang couldn’t help but be stunned after hearing this.

He hadn’t even eaten much of his food, and Fat Raccoon Cat had already finished? This speed was a bit too fast.

“Really? Then hurry up and eat.”

As Li Li spoke, he walked towards Li Hao. “Shovel Officer, don’t worry, this cat’s plan is foolproof. What you need to do is to get ready to collect money with a sack.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about, Li Li. I’m worried about how to explain it to Sister Li. You know, she’s been very good to me.” A Liang scratched his head in distress after hearing this.

“What’s so difficult about explaining it? Just tell her that you want to start your own business and be your own boss. Can she stop you?” Li Li patted Li Hao’s shoulder and said, “Don’t think so much, okay? Just listen to me and do as I say. I wouldn’t harm you, would I?”

“Do you want to work for someone else your whole life? You should have some dreams, you know? And now is your chance to soar, to seize the opportunity.”

“This…” Li Hao nodded after hearing this, recalling the past. “Right! You’re right, Li Li. My parents didn’t support me going out just to work for someone else.”

Thinking about it, his parents worked so hard at home, wasn’t it just to make his life better? Now that he had a chance to upgrade from a bicycle to a motorcycle, he naturally couldn’t let it go.

“That’s right, that’s more like it.” Li Li smiled after hearing this and continued to paint a bright picture for him. “Think about it, after you open the martial arts school and earn money, you can bring your uncle and aunt over, right? Then they won’t have to work so hard in the fields and can come here to enjoy life.”

“Isn’t that what you want to see the most? Now this opportunity is right in front of you, you have to work hard, okay?”

“Mm-hmm.” Li Hao nodded. His family supported him in his studies, hoping that he would become successful and not have to farm at home.

Seeing this scene, Li Li was very satisfied. With his encouragement, the Shovel Officer finally cheered up. This was more like a young person.

He knew that the Shovel Officer’s family wasn’t very well off. It could be said that they had been farming for generations. His uncle and aunt had placed all their hopes on him, so he should work harder and harder.

…

“By the way, Li Li, do you know what kind of fruit the Guidance Director likes to eat?”

Li Hao asked as they walked on the road after finishing their meal. Since Li Li was so familiar with the Guidance Director, he should know what kind of fruit he liked, right?

“This cat doesn’t know. This cat has never seen him eat any fruit. Maybe he doesn’t like to eat this kind of thing.” Li Li shook his big head after thinking for two seconds.

Come to think of it, he had never seen the Guidance Director eat fruit. He did see him drink tea often, but obviously, they couldn’t afford to give tea as a gift, so this option could be ruled out.

“Is that so? Then it sounds really difficult.” Li Hao sighed after hearing this.

They didn’t even know what the Guidance Director liked, let alone how to give it to him. How could they possibly build a relationship with him?

“Actually, it doesn’t matter what you give. What matters is that we have to go. That way, we can show our sincerity, right?” A Liang said with a smile.

He didn’t think it was a big deal. With the Guidance Director’s position, he had eaten and drunk things they couldn’t even compare to. No matter what they gave him, it would be about the same. The main thing was their attitude.

“That’s right, this cat thinks so too. So, let’s just bring a little something. Don’t be so polite, or it will seem too distant.” Li Li agreed, finding it very reasonable.

He was so familiar with Uncle, if the gift was too expensive, Uncle would definitely think he was being too formal. So, it was better to just give a small gift. It was all the same anyway, and he believed Uncle would understand.

“Uh, that’s true, but we still need to have some etiquette, right?” Li Hao said weakly.

Just buying some random things would be too perfunctory. Only Li Li would do something like that.

“Then let’s buy some bananas, some apples, and two boxes of pure milk. Bringing four things for a visit, this cat thinks the etiquette is enough. I believe he won’t be able to say anything.” Li Li said, directly finalizing the matter of the gifts.

“Alright, let’s do as you say.” After thinking for a while, the two nodded in agreement. Giving these things as gifts wouldn’t be shabby.

They believed the Guidance Director wouldn’t have a problem with it, so they would do just that.

After all, if the gift was too expensive and word got out, it wouldn’t be good for the Guidance Director. It was safer to just bring these kinds of gifts.

“Meow, meow, Uncle, are you home? This cat is here to visit you. If you’re not home, please say something so this cat can leave.” Li Li stretched out his big paw and knocked on the door, saying.

“You fat cat are really interesting. You ask me to answer if I’m not home, so how can I not be home?” The Guidance Director scolded with a smile and came downstairs to open the door.

“You never know. What if you have surveillance cameras installed at home? Wouldn’t they be useful at this time?” Li Li replied with a smile, squatting at the door with his paws tucked in.

When he saw the door open a crack, he immediately signaled the two behind him to bow.

“Hello, Director Xu!”

Seeing this, the two quickly greeted him.

“Oh? Fat cat, you brought people with you? I thought you came alone, little guy.” The Guidance Director couldn’t help but smile and said to the two humans and the cat, “Alright, no matter what you want to do or say, come in first. Standing at the door isn’t appropriate.”

“Okay, okay.” Li Hao replied with a dry smile and entered the house. A Liang followed him in.

“Fat cat, tell me, what’s the matter with you bringing these two to see me?” After the two humans and the cat entered the house, the Guidance Director didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He didn’t believe that Fat cat would be so kind as to bring two people to his place for a casual visit. Judging from his appearance, he must have something to ask of him.

“It’s nothing major, just a small favor I want to ask you for, Uncle.” Li Li immediately approached him with a cheerful smile.

“Wait, hold on, you know I won’t do anything illegal or break the rules, even if you give me gifts.” The Guidance Director immediately interrupted.

Looking at the sly look in the fat cat’s eyes, he knew it wouldn’t be anything good.

He wouldn’t make things easy for him. He should give up on that idea.

“Uncle, don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I’m definitely not asking you to do anything illegal.” Li Li said.

“Oh? Then I’m willing to listen.” The Guidance Director said, making a gesture of invitation to Li Li.

Li Li saw this and sat down unceremoniously, saying, “Uncle, isn’t the school recently having a plan to support graduates’ employment? My Shovel Officer and this bro here are planning to open a martial arts school. However, because my Shovel Officer has just graduated and is a bit tight on funds, he wants to apply for the school’s employment support.”

“To see if we can get a cheap and spacious venue in the school. Of course, once the martial arts school is open, we will definitely offer discounts to students.”

“You want to open a martial arts school? What are you planning to teach?” The Guidance Director immediately became interested. He knew that many students in the school were interested in learning martial arts.

However, they were suffering from a lack of teachers. If they opened a martial arts school in the school, it would indeed be a good employment project.

“The two of them, one is responsible for teaching basic fist techniques, and the other is responsible for teaching basic leg techniques.” Before the two could speak, Li Li took the lead and said, “As for the follow-up, it depends on their character whether we will teach them more. Basic leg and fist techniques are enough for them to have the ability to protect themselves.”

“Basic leg and fist techniques? It sounds really good.” The Guidance Director nodded and looked at Li Li, saying, “I can help mention this matter. As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on whether your reputation is good enough, Fat cat.”

“Meow, meow, how is this related to this cat again?” Li Li couldn’t help but be stunned.

He came to Uncle to use his connections, hoping to get things done through him. How come Uncle was now bringing up his name?

“Of course it’s related to you. Because the people in charge of implementing this plan are Old Ji and the others. You’re familiar with them. Now it depends on whether they’re willing to give you this face.” The Guidance Director smiled and took out his phone. “I’ll call those old gentlemen first and tell them that your Shovel Officer is opening a martial arts school and see if the school can provide some help.”

“Alright, Uncle, go ahead and call. With my relationship with those old gentlemen, there shouldn’t be any problems.” Li Li nodded and started munching on a banana.

Li Hao saw this and couldn’t help but feel speechless. Li Li was really too casual. These were bought for the Guidance Director, but he directly took one out and started eating it himself.

“It’s basically like this, Old Ji. Do you think it can be approved? After all, it’s someone Fat cat brought here.” The Guidance Director said, standing by the window.

“Of course, it’s approved. Our students want to come back and start a business, how can we not support them? Moreover, it’s Fat cat’s Shovel Officer, so there’s even more reason to agree.” Old Ji on the other end of the phone smiled and said, “But you have to tell him, since our school is supporting him, he can’t charge the students too much for the martial arts classes.”

“Don’t worry, Old Ji. I’ve already talked to them about this. As long as you approve it, they will definitely give the students the biggest discount.” The Guidance Director smiled.

As expected, fishing buddies were fishing buddies. Mentioning Fat cat’s name was more effective than his own.

“Then there’s no problem. You go and arrange a spacious place for them. Try to get the martial arts school open as soon as possible, so that those youngsters won’t be idle all day.” Old Ji smiled.

Fat cat’s Shovel Officer wanted to open a martial arts school? Wouldn’t that mean the little cat would be there every day as a lucky charm? That would be great. He could go directly to the martial arts school to find the little cat and go fishing.

“Okay, then I’ll take them to see the venue now. We’ll try to get the martial arts school set up this week.” The Guidance Director said with a smile.

“Mm, you take them there. If there’s anything else, call me again.” Old Ji smiled and hung up the phone.
