Chapter 13: The Four People's Party Martial Arts Society
"Fourth brother, where have you run off to? You've had us searching for half a day!"
Chu Zi Feng had just arrived outside the teaching building when he saw Qi Bai and three others running towards him, each looking very excited.
Around, there were tables lined up one by one, and male and female students seemed to be doing business, pulling passing students who refused to let go, as if they wanted to force them to buy or sell. In the hands of those students were promotional flyers, and in front of their tables hung a sign with the name of a school club written on it.
In colleges and universities, there is a tradition of organizing various clubs by student unions to cultivate students' talents and entertain them. However, all these clubs are organized by the students themselves and approved by the school authorities.
Every year when school starts, after freshmen get familiar with the school environment, various clubs also start "recruiting"!
But the student organizations that students join are unrestricted, and one can join one or all of them at the same time, as long as you have an interest, every organization will accept you, just take a look at the scene here.
"Lao Si, we've all joined clubs already, take a look and see which one you want to join."
Qī Bái's face was filled with a colorful smile, his eyes gazing at the chests of passing female students.
"What are those clubs you've all signed up for?" Chu Zifeng asked, not knowing himself which club to join because he wasn't interested in any of them, but not joining wasn't an option either or the student union would come looking for him!
Ding Yun said: "I joined the basketball club."
Zhong Ming said: "I joined the Go club."
Qī Bái's face turned mischievous as he said, "I'm joining the Art Club!"
Ding Yun and Zhong Ming joining the club wasn't surprising, what was surprising was Qi Bai, with his personality, how could he possibly join the art club, it really exceeded Chu Zi's expectations.
"I said it was just white, but I didn't expect you to have an artistic streak!"
"Fourth brother, the Drunken Immortal's interest lies not in wine!"
"What does it mean?"
"Lao Si, didn't you know that the president of the Art Club is Xiao Jing? And Qi Bai is already paying attention to her!"
I get it! So earlier Xiao Jing asked if I had joined any clubs, and it turns out she's the president of one of them herself!
Qī Bái smiled and said, "As the saying goes, 'near water tower first gets moon', with my Qī Bái charm, as long as I join the art club, there will be 100% beautiful women falling for me! Most importantly, I absolutely cannot lose to Lǎo Sì!"
"This Chu Zi Feng is really something, what's wrong with you!"
"Hey classmate, are you interested in joining the martial arts club?"
Just then, a girl's voice sounded behind Chu Zifeng. He turned around to see a girl who was only 1.6 meters tall standing behind him, wearing a pair of high myopia glasses and having long hair scattered all over her face, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly.
The girl stuffed the flyer into Chu Zifeng's hand and said, "Fellow student, join our martial arts club and let's shake the prestige of Chinese martial arts together!"
Not to mention what's good about this martial arts club, just based on those last few words from the girl, Chu Zi Feng has no reason to refuse.
But...
"Classmate, I don't know martial arts at all!"
"It doesn't matter, you can learn slowly. Moreover, even if you're not interested in martial arts, you can still be the person in charge of our martial arts club and manage it. At most, we'll just collect half of the club fees from you!"
Fainted, how come joining a club still needs money, Chu Zifeng didn't know that before.
"Do you still want money?"
"Come on, Fourth Brother, isn't that a bit of nonsense? This club is organized by the students themselves and doesn't receive any funding from the school, so it's only natural for us to think of ways to make money ourselves."
He paused, and Qi Bai whispered in Chu Zifeng's ear: "However, Fourth Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you that the Martial Arts Club is actually one of the most unlucky clubs in Yan University. They're often bullied by the Judo Club and the Taekwondo Club. If you join the Martial Arts Club, it'll be very humiliating!"
The girl wearing glasses touched her highly myopic glasses with her hand and asked, "Classmate, how about joining our martial arts club? I guarantee you'll have a great time!"
It seems that these clubs are quite serious about recruiting members. Chu Zifeng thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll join the martial arts club. But let me be upfront with you, I don't know any martial arts, so don't expect me to be of much help later on!"
"No problem...... Hehe, I've finally caught the little lamb, now my mission is complete."
The girl smiled softly, but Chu Zi didn't pay much attention to what she said quietly behind her.
"Classmate, the annual fee for joining the League is 500 yuan. Here's the receipt, you can take it now, and by the way, please pay that money too."
The girl's speed was quite fast, and in a short while, she had already opened all the receipts.
Chu Zi heard that he had to pay 500 yuan a year and immediately became unhappy!
"Classmate, why is it so expensive? Didn't you say you'd charge me half price?"
"It's half off, originally it was 1,000 yuan a year, now I'm only charging you 500 yuan which is already half price, hurry up and pay the money, then come with me to register!"
Chu Zi Feng was still heartbroken, 500 yuan could be enough for his own food expenses for several months!
But the 200,000 yuan I got before coming to Yanjing is my tuition and expenses for the past few years. If something happens, I'm afraid 200,000 won't be enough. It seems that apart from the trouble with my skills, this money is also a big problem!
Very reluctantly, he took out 500 yuan and gave it to the girl. The girl put away the money and pulled Chu Zifeng towards the martial arts club.
"I said, Lao Da, why didn't you say anything just now! Our basketball club only has 700 yuan a year, and that girl actually said their martial arts club has 1,000 yuan a year. This is clearly cheating Lao Si!" Ding Yun said.
"Hey, why are you guys picking on me? Didn't you two say nothing was wrong?"
"This one, that one, well, poor old fourth is unlucky, being blackmailed without even knowing it!"
Under the leadership of the girl, Chu Zifeng arrived at the martial arts club. The place here is not very big, like a miscellaneous goods room cleared out, with some martial arts equipment placed in it, and two boys are working hard to practice kicking leg kung fu.
"Hey, stop for a while, let's practice later, I've brought a newcomer."
As soon as she entered the martial arts club, the girl called out to two boys who were practicing kicking.
Two boys, not very tall, only about 1.65 meters, but with a sturdy build, obviously from Northeast China, no smile on their faces, very serious, ignoring the girls and continuing to practice kicking legs.
Another boy saw the girl bring a new person over and immediately ran to Chu Zi Feng's side, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in years. He excitedly grabbed Chu Zi Feng's hand and laughed: "Brother, you're really our lifesaver! You're actually willing to join our martial arts club... Don't look at this place being small, but the people here are all very lively. If you have anything going on in the future, just let us know, we'll be there for you through thick and thin... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is He Chong, what should I call you, brother?"
He spoke a lot in one breath and almost said everything!
Chu Zifeng struggled free from He Chong's grasp and smiled wryly: "I'm Chu Zifeng, a freshman in the economics department."
"Brother Chu, from now on we are all one family! Today I'll treat you, let's have a few drinks, brothers!"
Chu Zi Feng hesitated for a moment, looked around at the situation of the martial arts club, and asked: "I'd like to ask, where are the other members?"
"Anything else? No more, just the four of us!"
"Ah! You mean our club is just the four of us? What about the coach?"
The girl behind patted Chu Zifeng's shoulder and then pointed at herself with her thumb, smiling on her face without saying a word.
"You can't be serious, you're telling me you're the lesson here?"
"What's wrong, won't you dare? Or are you looking down on us girls? Let's have a competition then."
Dazed, this girl was still quite gentle just now, how did she change into a different person in less than ten minutes after joining!
"You guys chat slowly, I have something to do, I'll leave first."
The boy who was practicing his fist and footwork threw down a cold remark and turned around and walked out of the martial arts club.
"Brother, don't mind him, Lin Shaojun is always like that." He Chong said.
"Then I'd like to ask, what's the coach's full name?"
"My name is Zhou Xiaoyu... isn't it Chu Zifeng?"
"Uh-huh."
"You don't know martial arts, that's okay. Not interested in learning, that's also okay. You can be an assistant coach. Actually, this coach doesn't necessarily need to return to martial arts, just understanding a bit is enough. Starting from tomorrow, I'll guide you a bit and you'll pick it up quickly."
Chu Zi Feng finally realized, after being fooled for half a day, that he had been deceived! Oh heavens, you wouldn't play tricks on me like this, would you? Just joining a club and yet it's turned into a gang of four!
"Oh, right, there's a meeting tonight. He Chong, remind Shao Jun not to be late."
Sweat dripping, a club of four people, still holding meetings. What kind of meeting is this? I should have listened to Zhi Bai and not joined this martial arts club. Now it's too late to regret, 500 bucks have already gone into someone else's pocket!
Vote for me!
