Chapter Twenty-Four Going Crazy

  "This boss is still a good person."

  Wang Ke thought silently in his heart, and then began to seriously recite the contents of the ten printed papers one word at a time in order.

  As he recited, Li Ruoxi's expression on her face kept changing, from being initially careless, to being somewhat surprised, from surprise to being somewhat stunned, then from stun to shock, and finally from shock to an unbelievable look. In the end, when she looked at Wang Qi, it was as if she was looking at a living monster.

  "I've finished memorizing it, are there any mistakes?" Wang Ke looked at Li Ruoxi's strange expression and asked cautiously.

  Li Ruoxi didn't answer him, instead she asked with a strange expression: "Wang Ke, can I ask you a very serious question?"

  "Of course, no problem, what's on your mind? Go ahead and ask!"

  Li Ruoxi smiled bitterly and said: "Are you sure you're human? Or are you a monster from Mars?"

  "Uh..."

  Wang Ke stared at Li Ruoxi, he didn't understand why she would say that. Was he like a monster from Mars? Did Mars have such handsome, intelligent and masculine monsters?

  Li Ruoxi looked at Wang Ke's silly appearance, and only then did she reveal a brilliant and enchanting smile. She said: "I really can't believe it, you actually memorized the 10,000 characters on these ten sheets of printing paper in just two and a half days, and I didn't even hear any mistakes. You're simply like a freak, your memory is probably not inferior to Einstein's."

  "Are you flattering me?" Wang Ke blinked and asked.

  Li Ruoxi suddenly lost her smile and said, "Of course, did you think I was scolding you? Your memory is really terrifying, I don't even have the confidence to recite all this in two and a half days. Alright, you passed, go find your senior and report for the 'delivery' task!"

  Wang Ke nodded quickly, but suddenly his expression changed slightly as he looked at Li Ruoxi's stunningly beautiful face. He asked, "Don't you ever go out? Come to think of it, you've been staying home for the past few days and haven't gone out at all. Aren't you running a small company? Don't you need to work? How can I be responsible for protecting you if you just stay home every day? Is it too good of a deal that I get 20,000 yuan per month, with food and lodging included?"

  Li Ruoxi glared at Wang Ke with a hint of annoyance and said, "If I were to go out these few days, would you have the time to memorize this 10,000-word script? Alright, I won't be going out today either. All my work can be done online, so I'm giving myself a break for the next few days. It's been almost two years since I graduated from university and I've never taken a rest before!"

  Wang Ke smiled and said: "That's good, I was really afraid that because of my things, it would delay your work! Then I'll leave, I won't be back for dinner tonight."

  Save food.

  Li Ruoxi lay down again, muttered a sentence and ignored Wang Ke from then on.

  Leaving the villa, Wang Ke walked out of the villa area and took a public transportation bus to quickly head to the antique market. Because he had been there once before, this time he didn't take a detour, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived at his destination.

  Zhao 'Men' Feng, who was sitting at the counter reading a book about Feng Shui, looked up to see Wang Ke's figure appearing in front of the door. His face suddenly showed surprise, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked in confusion: "How did you get here? Didn't I tell you just a few days ago that you should come back after memorizing those 10,000 characters and mastering others?"

  Wang Ke's mood was extremely joyful at this time, he can now recite the 10,000 words fluently, and on his way back from 'Xing' residence, he didn't slack off, but instead solidified it well.

  "Mr. Zhao, you're right! I can recite that 10,000 characters by heart, so I came to see you. The content on those ten printed papers, I remember them all." Wang Ke said with a smile.

  "Remember?"

  Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief.

  "It's only been two and a half days, and you've already memorized those 10,000 characters? This...this is impossible, right? Did you not eat or sleep or do anything else these past few days? Were you just reciting those characters nonstop? Even if you didn't eat or drink or sleep, it's still impossible to memorize that many characters in such a short amount of time!"

  Wang Ke smiled and said: "Old Zhao, whether I can recite it or not, you'll know once I've finished reciting it."

  Zhao 'Men' Feng stretched out his hand to grab the ten printed papers handed over by Wang Ke, still with an incredulous look in his eyes, and said: "Well, since you say you can recite it, then now you just recite it for me to hear!"

  Wang Ke nodded slightly, then recited the contents of the ten printed papers with one thousand words from memory, before smiling and asking: "Old Zhao, I've finished reciting it, are there any further instructions?"

  In Zhao Menfeng's heart, a huge wave was set off. He had never thought that Wang Ke would actually be able to recite it all. The reason he told Wang Ke the other day that if he couldn't memorize these materials in three days, then he didn't need to come again, was completely to shock him.

  He thought that even if Wang Ke didn't finish memorizing, he wouldn't be willing to not come here. If he came here without finishing his memorization, then he would be able to properly teach him a lesson later on. Teaching him knowledge was a given, after all, he thought Wang Ke was quite good, especially in the areas of antiques and artifacts, where he had a pretty good talent.

  Let him recite it himself. If he really can't recite it, then that's a small lesson and a huge pressure for him!

  But!

  How did he manage to recite it all from memory?

  To know this ten thousand words, he had temporarily 'made' it in the upstairs a few days ago, computer sorting, all the fonts were messed up, and all punctuation marks were deleted, it was a kind of intimidation to let Wang Ke know that there were things he couldn't do, let him suffer a little setback, so that he could humbly follow himself to learn.

  He thought that if Wang Ke could recite 5,000 words, it would be considered very good and he would pass.

  If Wang Ke could recite 8,000 characters, it would already be a heaven-defying performance.

  For a ten-thousand-word essay to be memorized entirely by rote, he had initially thought of questions that no one else had thought of!

  Suppressing the shock in his heart, Zhao 'Men' Feng did not show his surprise, but nodded satisfactorily at Wang Ke and said: "You barely passed this test. Since you're here, I'll explain some knowledge about antiques and artifacts to you! It just so happens that my store has several artifacts and many antiques."

  Wang Ke's face showed a look of surprise, Zhao Menfeng's words were what he had been longing for the most. Being able to learn from him was much stronger than memorizing knowledge from books by himself.

  Two hours later, Wang Ke followed Zhao 'Men' Feng to continue watching the antiques and artifacts in the store, and listened carefully to Zhao 'Men' Feng's explanations. With objects as references, Wang Ke had a clearer understanding of the knowledge points explained by Zhao 'Men' Feng.

  "Alright, that's all for today's explanation! You can't bite off more than you can chew, and in these two hours, I've explained quite a few key points." Zhao 'Men' Feng put down the magical instrument in his hand on the shelf, opening his mouth to smile.

  Wang Ke nodded somewhat reluctantly. If he had a choice, he would have liked to continue listening to Zhao 'Men' Feng's explanation of the knowledge points. In just two short hours, he felt like he had gained a lot.

  "Mr. Zhao, when can I come again? Will you continue teaching me?" Wang Ke asked with some anticipation.

  Zhao's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color, and he smiled: "The ten printed papers I gave you the other day, can you recite the contents in order? It proves that your memory is really good. However, I want to continue testing you, is it a sudden burst or your true strength? Give you two days, recite those 10,000 words backwards, and we'll meet again in two days."

  What?

  Wang Ke subconsciously dug his ears.

  He suspected he had misheard, two days' time, reciting it backwards? Isn't this taking someone's life?

  "Mr. Zhao, are you sure you want to recite it backwards? And only give us two days' time?" Wang Ke asked cautiously, looking at Zhao Menfeng.

  "Not bad, I'm quite sure." Zhao 'Men' Feng said firmly.

  Wang Ke swallowed his saliva, his face completely distorted, and bitterly said: "Old Zhao, aren't you trying to take my life? Previously, I spent two and a half days reciting this 10,000-word text, even when eating or going to the toilet, I didn't stop reciting it! This time, you only gave me two days' time, even if I really had Einstein's extraordinary brain, I still couldn't memorize it!"

  Zhao 'Men' Feng looked at Wang Ke's bitter face, and the shock he had brought him earlier dissipated a lot. He burst out laughing: "Wang Ke, don't be too humble, your brain is very useful, your memory is really strong! I believe you can come to 'Self' Residence two days later at this time. Hurry back!"

  On the way back to the villa district, Wang Ke did not take the bus because it was too crowded. He hailed a taxi and got in, telling the driver his address before starting to frantically memorize from the back, one word at a time.

  Seize the time, seize the opportunity.

  It's worth it no matter how bitter or tired you are if you can learn knowledge from Zhao Men Feng.

  Wang Ke held ten printed papers, his whole mind was immersed in reciting, when he returned to the villa, he seemed to have fallen into a trance again, even when Li Ruoxi came up with a smile and asked if he had passed the test, he didn't hear it.

  "Hey, hey, what's wrong with you? I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?" Li Ruoxi frowned tightly, her face flushing with anger and embarrassment as she reached out to tap Wang Ke's arm.

  Wang Ke's train of thought was interrupted, and he looked up at Li Ruoxi with a dazed expression, asking: "What's going on?"

  Li Ruoxi clenched her small fist and angrily said, "I really want to punch you, of course, on the premise that I can beat you. What's wrong with you? When you left, weren't you fine? Why did you come back with these things? Didn't you pass the test? Did you perform poorly under pressure?"

  Wang Ke rubbed his hair, bitterly smiling: "No, I passed. But that senior had me recite it from back to front again, and this time the given time was even shorter, only two days."

  Li Ruoxi was stunned, her bright black gemstone-like eyes staring at Wang Ke's bitter smile, suddenly bursting into uncontrollable laughter: "Hahaha... that old man is really interesting, he absolutely didn't mean to tease you, I can feel it, he was struck by your talent... Hahaha... who let you memorize 10,000 words in two and a half days? He gave you only two days' time, to take down your pride, to humble your spirit, so that you'll follow him with humility from now on."

  "Haha, this time is going to be fun! Two days' time! I'd like to see it too. You have two days off, and if you can recite that 10,000-word text fluently within these two days, I'll give you another two days off."

  Li Ruoxi looked at Wang Ke with a playful expression, watching him laugh uncontrollably. It had been a long time since she'd encountered something so entertaining.

  Wang Ke's eyes lit up and he asked hastily: "Are you sure you won't regret what you just said?"

  Li Ruoxi smiled and said: "A gentleman's word is like a swift horse that cannot be caught. I'm certain."

  Wang Ke secretly rolled his eyes: What kind of gentleman are you? You're at most just a little 'lady'.
