Chapter 34: Shock! Still in shock!

Everyone was stunned.

This isn’t right, this isn’t following the usual script!

Could it be that when Gu Zhaoping said she was good at jiu-jitsu, she meant she bought a jiu-jitsu dojo to practice?

Is she using this way to slap the netizens in the face?

No, this is too extravagant, isn’t it?

For a moment, no one understood the meaning behind Gu Zhaoping’s actions!

[No way, she couldn’t have bought a jiu-jitsu dojo just to slap the netizens in the face, right?]

[To show off like this, that’s a bit much, huh, a wealthy young lady really has it easy.]

[The location is good, the property probably only costs a few million.

For a wealthy young lady, what’s the big deal? If she wants to slap the netizens in the face, she just buys it.]

The comments gradually turned sour.

But the star of the video remained unaffected and continued walking without hesitation.

“Welcome! Welcome! Miss Gu! Welcome!”

Suddenly, a group of strong men and women appeared out of nowhere, shouting energetically!

Some of them even had red sashes draped over their muscular bodies.

An older person hurriedly came downstairs from above, and fireworks went off to welcome her!

This display stunned the netizens.

What does this mean?

Are they welcoming her to buy the dojo?

Gu Zhaoping remained silent for a moment, then said, “No need for all the ceremony, let’s go inside and take a look.”

At this point, someone couldn’t help but laugh.

Why did it feel like Gu Zhaoping seemed a little helpless about this grand display?

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, she quickly shook her head, thinking she was going crazy, and pushed the thought away.

How could she feel that way? Gu Zhaoping was not someone who was easy to read.

Everything she saw could be part of her public persona.

She was ready to be on guard.

Gu Zhaoping followed a few trainers upstairs.

Anyone with clear eyes could see that the trainers’ attitudes toward her were unusually warm.

Curious discussions began to arise.

[What’s up with this attitude? Why is he so enthusiastic towards a client buying property? It’s like Gu Zhaoping is here to save his life.]

[Yeah, this location and property should be easy to sell.

If he was just looking for someone to take over, it would’ve been sold eventually.

Why is he treating Gu Zhaoping like this?]

[Maybe part of it is because of her identity…]

Someone else added sarcastically:

[Being a wealthy young lady is nice.

Gu Zhaoping hasn’t done anything.

All she did was spend money to buy a dojo.

She might not even know anything about jiu-jitsu, or maybe just a little, but she can still be the owner of a dojo.]

[Lucky her! If I were Gu Zhaoping, I’d be treated like this too.

It’s just because she has money.]

The tone of the comments became increasingly negative.

After Gu Zhaoping went upstairs, the cameraman followed her through the dojo, filming as they went.

The dojo was newly renovated, and all the facilities were very new with bright lighting.

It didn’t look like the traditional jiu-jitsu dojo that people might imagine.

The cameraman had expected the dojo to be filled with mats, equipment, and traditional martial arts uniforms, but instead, it seemed to have a more modern feel.

Suddenly, someone recognized the location and mentioned it in the comments:

[I know, I know! This is right next to my workplace.

I went with my friend once.

She enrolled in a class here.

The price is reasonable, and all the trainers are very nice! No way, is it being sold now? Is business bad?]

[I’ve also taken a class here.

The staff is really friendly, and the classes are great! Wait, is business really bad? After Gu Zhaoping buys it, will it still run like before? Or is she planning to turn it into something else, like a beauty salon, a gym, or some other store…?]

[Why are the most heartwarming businesses the hardest to keep going? I really struggled to find a good dojo, and now this one’s being sold.]

It wasn’t until someone from the dojo spoke up that the netizens realized the dojo had a pretty good reputation locally.

Many office workers and female students nearby had signed up for classes, and the feedback was great.

[Then why is it being sold? With such good reviews, there shouldn’t be any business problems, right?]

Netizens discussed it curiously.

The camera scanned the entire dojo, passing over the certificates of honor on the walls and the staff offering water and snacks at the front desk.

It seemed like the dojo had paid great attention to details in female-oriented services.

Even the trainers didn’t have the usual arrogant attitude of male coaches, instead showing a “the customer is king” mentality.

[Wow, no way, I’ve lived nearby for so long, and I never knew about this place.

I just never signed up.]

[Is jiu-jitsu really that useless? I want to try it but feel like it’s a waste of time.

I might as well just practice long-distance running.]

[No, please, don’t let anyone buy it! Please, continue running this place!]

No one expected that the video’s biggest reaction would come from the dojo.

Whether it was the hardware, software, or the overall setup, everything seemed to cater perfectly to young women’s needs.

The audience was curious as to why it hadn’t succeeded.

While the cameraman was focusing on these details, another voice suddenly joined the conversation:

“Has the former owner arrived? Let’s sign the contract directly.”

Only when a trainer spoke excitedly did everyone realize what was going on.

The former owner?

Does this mean that the trainers aren’t the owners of this dojo? Is Gu Zhaoping signing a contract with the former owner?

The cameraman followed Gu Zhaoping into the training room.

As they passed a hallway, a sign briefly flashed by.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed netizen recognized something and quickly took a screenshot, posting it on Weibo to start the discussion!

At first, no one noticed this detail, but after the sharp-eyed netizen posted the screenshot, they suddenly felt like it looked familiar, and asked:

“Wait a minute.

Tan Family Dojo?!

Isn’t this the same dojo that the jiu-jitsu blogger was challenging Gu Zhaoping about online?!”

No way!

For a moment, everyone shared the same bold guess!

Could it be that Gu Zhaoping had seen everything online but didn’t respond directly? Instead, she bought the dojo to challenge the Tan Family Dojo blogger?

Is this her way of slapping someone in the face? The wealthy young lady’s way of getting revenge?!

Does this feel like a nouveau riche taking advantage of their wealth?

Although it’s kind of satisfying, the poor dojo owner who was forced to sell is feeling miserable.

It was at this moment that someone finally remembered that the Tan Family Dojo blogger had suddenly started a heated argument online.

Could it be that this is related to the dojo being bought?

Alright, now they get it.

It makes sense that he’d be furious, and it seems like he doesn’t even want to mention Gu Zhaoping anymore.

Everyone was relieved, thinking that Gu Zhaoping must have done something to overpower him.

Netizens couldn’t help but start sympathizing with Tan Family Dojo’s owner.

[The owner of Tan Family Dojo is so unlucky.

He just made a reasonable statement, and Gu Zhaoping did this? She bought the dojo! Does she think she’s some domineering CEO in a novel? This kind of revenge is so tacky.]

[I don’t want to watch anymore.

This young lady really feels so uninteresting.

The way she threw money to have someone gather evidence for her online, it felt wrong.

Her high-and-mighty attitude, like thinking she can crush everything with money, does whatever she wants?]

[Yeah, I agree.

Gu Zhaoping claims to be reversing public opinion, but in essence, she’s just flaunting her wealth.

It’s like after she’s wronged, she can just use money to fix everything.

It’s so childish.]

[Why can’t she develop other skills on her own? Does she only know how to slap people with money?]

No one expected that just as the debate about Gu Zhaoping heated up, suddenly, a heavy sound of footsteps echoed outside the training room.

It seemed to be a very tall man walking in, with an impolite swagger.

He even reached out his hand to knock on the glass door, shouting: “Did you gather the money? If you didn’t have the money to buy my dojo, then just get out!”

Upon hearing this, the people who had been doubting Gu Zhaoping were stunned, and everyone else was shocked.

……

As the voice faded, a strong man appeared around the corner.

He was wearing a sports t-shirt and shorts, and the muscles on the exposed parts of his body were very prominent, looking very intimidating.

Anyone encountering him would likely choose to avoid him.

This person looked familiar to the audience.

Damn, isn’t this the owner of the Tan Family Dojo?!

Tan Li frequently appeared in videos, and when he previously challenged Gu Zhaoping on the hot search, people had already dug up his background.

Tan Li?? What’s going on here?

When he carefully replayed the words from the Tan Family Dojo’s owner, suddenly, he had a bad premonition!

Is this him? How could this be?

How could he be a bad guy?

This sounds like the typical villain speech!

No way, let’s wait and see.

Maybe there’s a misunderstanding.

Maybe Tan Li is the good guy, and the trainers in the dojo are actually the bad guys who are taking others’ property.

What are you talking about? These trainers are all very nice.

I know them, why make such malicious assumptions?

Haha, I’m just speculating, don’t take it seriously, okay?

At that moment, Coach Gao, along with several other trainers, quickly rushed out.

He stood in the stairwell, arms crossed, looking at Tan Li as if he were finally able to exhale and get some relief.

Coach Gao stared at him for a while, and then finally coldly snorted, “Tan Li, you are my master’s disciple. How could you forget that now?”

The Tan Family Dojo blogger just chuckled and casually said, “What do you mean ‘forget’? Even if I change teachers, I can still practice jiu-jitsu.

And if you can’t afford this property, then you should just leave! Even if I was renting it to you before, so what? The lease is almost over.

It’s completely normal for me to change the way I collect payments, right? What can you do about it? If you can’t gather the money, then get out!”

???

What is he talking about?? Does this mean he rented the property to these coaches before and now wants to back out?

Oh my god, what a low-class person, what is he saying?!

Tan Li had no idea, but from this moment on, he was already under the camera’s observation.

He sneered and said, “You should remember that I’m the owner of this dojo.

Do you think you can just buy my space casually?”

He didn’t believe it.

There are people who can take out 6 million all at once, but not many.

There are also people who want to buy his dojo, but his condition is cash payment, no loans.

This condition already blocked 99% of people right outside the door.

But now, everyone realized he was just being a bit of a bully, acting too arrogantly.

And he still didn’t realize it, even becoming more smug: “I’m the owner of this dojo, not just anyone can take over.

If you want to inherit my dojo, you must first go through me!”

He was just talking big, not even having seen Gu Zhaoping, not knowing who had bought the place.

But the audience watching knew!

This line aired just a few seconds ago.

Suddenly, the comments exploded!

Wait, could it really be this coincidental?

Wasn’t this the same Tan Family Dojo owner who had challenged Gu Zhaoping to see his skills?

Who could’ve guessed they would really meet? In this situation?

What is this? This is fate!

How did they end up facing each other? How could it be so dramatic?!

While the discussion was still going on, Tan Li was being pushed into the training room by Coach Gao!

Someone suddenly realized, wait, didn’t Coach Gao just thank Gu Zhaoping before? Why is he pushing this jiu-jitsu expert into the room to face her? He can’t be setting Gu Zhaoping up, right?

Suddenly, like a flash of inspiration, someone realized something.

This doubt didn’t last long.

The two finally faced each other.

Gu Zhaoping, sitting by the window, stood upright.

At first, she didn’t look toward the door, but after hearing Tan Li’s words, she seemed to notice someone was there and calmly turned her head.

Hiss…

Not to mention, even though people had been watching Gu Zhaoping’s life since the morning, it was at this moment that her cold eyes and calm demeanor hit them like a ton of bricks.

At this point, someone suddenly realized…

Once you take off the prejudice, Gu Zhaoping really had an imposing aura.

If it weren’t for wanting to know what she had done before, just looking at her once like this, it would be easy to be confused by her.

The next moment, Gu Zhaoping lightly raised an eyebrow.

“To be the owner here, you want to go through me first?”

She raised her hand, as if it didn’t matter at all, her eyes not even moving.

She simply brushed off the suit draped over her shoulder, letting it fall off, moving so casually, indifferently, and carelessly.

“I’m the new owner here, come.”

……

……

Silence.

Long silence.

The next shot hadn’t even been cut.

Suddenly, everyone froze, staring at the scene, and after a long time, someone finally screamed.

Holy crap?!

That was Gu Zhaoping, the one who looked so cool just now, that was Gu Zhaoping?!

What did she say? She said, “I’m the owner, come challenge me?”

Did she know the strength of this Tan Family Dojo blogger?

How dare she accept a challenge from a professional? Even if she had practiced jiu-jitsu for a year or two, how could she face a real professional?

Although her move earlier was impressive, she couldn’t be that reckless. Sometimes, one should admit defeat, not just fight to save face…

The next moment, everyone’s pupils shrank in disbelief as they watched the scene unfold.

Gu Zhaoping, wearing a neatly pressed, pearl-shiny silk shirt and suit pants, even with leather boots, stood facing Tan Family Dojo’s blogger.

Before Tan Li could finish speaking, she raised her hand.

No one reacted in time, and no one could see how she moved. Maybe this moment needs to be replayed in slow motion to understand.

But the result was already in front of everyone’s eyes.

“You can attack, then think about the next question.”

“Boom!!!”

A shadow flipped through the air and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Gu Zhaoping didn’t make any other move, nor did she seem out of breath.

She simply lightly rolled up her sleeve, exposing her firm arm, and as she threw the person down, the veins and muscles on her arm surfaced, showing the effort.

She didn’t have an overly muscular body, nor did she have extreme strength!

She wore a pearl-strapped watch on her wrist, and those who knew luxury recognized that the watch’s value could be over a million.

She had the posture of an elite who just walked out of a high-rise building in the CBD.

……

And she easily slammed a jiu-jitsu expert, a coach who runs a dojo, onto the ground with a single throw!

Tan Li was stunned!

The trainers were stunned!

The cameraman was stunned!

The camera shook, freezing the moment!

The audience watching off-screen was going crazy.

What?

Ah???

She slammed Tan Li down? In one move???

Wait, did she really just throw him?

She really knows jiu-jitsu? Everything she said was true? She’s really a professional?? She really excels at it??

Many people screamed and leapt out of their seats!

Some were lying on their beds watching the video and nearly fell off.

Others, who were goofing off in class, shouted out loud and got caught by the teacher!

Gu Zhaoping had stunned everyone, but what happened next was even more shocking!

Gu Zhaoping crouched down, pressing Tan Li’s hand behind his back, and casually asked, “Is this enough?”

“Not enough.”

She had already answered for him, then pressed his wrist down again, lifting his pants waistband.

A young woman who didn’t look particularly aggressive threw this big man down again!

Boom!

The motion-sensor lights flickered on and off!

Boom!!!

Another throw!

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Finally, Tan Li quickly raised his hand in surrender: “Enough, enough, enough! I’ll go sign the contract, please stop throwing me!”

At this point, Gu Zhaoping seemed to stop with some regret.

She was crouching beside Tan Li, her mood still calm.

After such intense activity, she was slightly out of breath, but her breathing didn’t seem desperate.

She just tilted her head slightly, speaking calmly and naturally.

“I’m not a beginner, I’m a professional.”

……

Why did the coach let Tan Li challenge her?

Gu Zhaoping gave him the answer.

His respect for her seemed unrelated to her background.

In a moment, countless screams erupted in the comment section.

Crazy, absolutely crazy!

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing! Gu Zhaoping really knows jiu-jitsu, so what else does she know? How much of what she introduced about herself is real, and how much is fake?
