Ding Yi’s heart jolted, he quickly looked up at Sun Yong.
“Mr. General Manager, 1 know I misjudged this time, but…”
Sun Yong waved a dismissive hand and said, “Ding Yi, any appraiser is prone to make mistakes now and then. Misjudgment isn’t a big problem as long as it doesn’t cause any loss to the company. But what you’ve done today is a bit too much.”
Just as Sun Yong was about to continue, he suddenly paused and sighed, “Ding Yi, your dismissal is the client’s suggestion. We must seize this collaboration opportunity, so much so that our Auction House didn’t even charge a fee. You know, when we don’t charge a fee, it means we are operating at a loss. But even so, we have to secure this auction opportunity. You should know why. Therefore, we must meet his requirement and I’m sorry that it means letting you go…”
In fact, Ding Yi did everything wrong from the beginning. From breaking into the private room by himself and snatching other appraisers’ clients, straightforwardly declaring the client’s item as fake, and even suggesting in a condescending tone that the client should go to Shengshi Auction House;
Sun Yong didn’t dare to imagine, if he arrived a few seconds later and the client directly left for Shengshi Auction House and started collaborating with them, the news would probably cost him his position as General Manager.
“Go.” Sun Yong didn’t want to say anything more and waved Ding Yi off.
Ding Yi left the office like a walking corpse.
“Zhou Li, you’ve done a great job today. You deserve praise. From now on, the position of appraisal department manager will be yours!” After Ding Yi left, Sun Yong switched to a warm expression and told Zhou Li;
Song Jian arrived at the Black Panther Gym. As soon as he entered, he saw Wang Dan chatting with Sun Qian in the lobby.
Seeing Song Jian, Wang Dan’s eyes lit up, she quickly gestured him over, “Why are you here so late? Quick, come with me to the classroom, I’ll teach you a new technique today…”
Before she finished her sentence, Song Jian displayed an awkward expression, “Master, I intend to stop learning the dagger fighting technique.”
Wang Dan was taken aback, blurted out, “But you have just started, there are still more than ten lessons to complete!”
“Well, I’m interested in sword techniques now, I plan to learn how to use a longsword!”
“Sword technique? What’s the use of learning that?” Wang Dan replied discontentedly; “This is modern society, you can’t always carry a sword around, can you? Dagger is much better, just tuck it in your waist, no one will notice…”
“Master Wang, 1 may have to disagree with your opinion!” Gu Bo casually walked over.
Seeing Gu Bo, Wang Dan looked embarrassed, she bowed to Gu Bo and greeted him, “Master!”
Gu Bo nodded slightly, turned around and smiled at Song Jian; “Young man, you’ve been practicing the dagger technique well, why do you want to learn sword technique?”
Song Jian scratched his head, not knowing how to reply. It’s not like he could say that he is playing a game, and has switched his class to Sword Controller in the game, so he can only use a longsword, and no more other weapons, right?
“Well, I suddenly became interested in sword techniques…” Song Jian said with slight embarrassment.
“Hahaha, good, interest is the prime motivator for learning. Come, follow me to the classroom, I’ll teach you the sword technique!” Gu Bo, looking quite pleased, led Song Jian to the classroom.
Wang Dan:”…”
Looking at Sun Qian’s teasing laugh, Wang Dan complained, “Is this considered undermining me? It’s hard to find a promising student like this one, and I thought I could…”
“What were you thinking? Didn’t you see the guy doesn’t want to learn the dagger fighting technique from you? Probably because he thinks you’re not good enough…” Sun Qian quietly chuckled on the side.
“I’m no good?” Wang Dan’s eyes widened, she started poking Sun Qian, “Tell me, where am I not good? My dagger fighting technique is the most practical killing technique, it could save lives on the battlefield!”
“Alright, alright, you’re amazing, nobody can beat you!” Sun Qian quickly pleaded for mercy, asking, “If on the battlefield, you only have a dagger, and Master Gu only has a longsword, who do you think would survive?”
Wang Dan stood still, furrowed her eyebrows, pondered for a long time, then finally sighed, “Where are we going for lunch? 1 think there’s a new Sichuan restaurant next door, should we try it?”
Sun Qian:”…”
Inside the classroom, Song Jian held a training sword, watching Gu Bo demonstrating the basic sword techniques. Just like the Sword Controller Duan Jian in the game, Gu Bo also broke down the basic moves, demonstrating and explaining the details.
However, Song Jian felt that Gu Bo’s swordsmanship paled in comparison to Duan Jian’s technique in the game; his grasp of the basic sword techniques seemed even better than Gu Bo’s.
Nevertheless, Song Jian didn’t show impatience, he patiently waited for Gu Bo to finish explaining.
After more than half an hour, Gu Bo finally finished demonstrating the basic sword moves. He didn’t withhold anything about every detail and movement key to pay attention to from Song Jian.
“How about it, want to give it a try?”; Gu Bo put away the sword, looking at Song Jian excitedly.
“Sure!” Song Jian responded with a slight smile. With a flick of his wrist, the scabbard of his sword flew off, accurately sticking on the weapon rack about five or six meters away from him.
“Hiss-” Gu Bo looked astonished, involuntarily gasping at Song Jian’s stunt. He looked at Song Jian in disbelief.
Song Jian simply smiled, walked a few steps forward to the center of the room, inhaled deeply, and started moving. The longsword in his hand made the crisp sound of cutting through the air.
Chop, thrust, hack, slice, raise, wrap, twist….
Song Jian’s basic sword technique swiftly appeared just like flowing water. Sharp sounds of splitting air followed his movements, causing Gu Bo’s face to change dramatically.
Song Jian’s passive skill “Cold Weapon (Sword Type) (Basic)” had already reached level five. Demonstrating a basic sword technique, Song Jian could do it like it’s child’s play.
After the demonstration, Song Jian let out a sigh and steadied himself”
“How did 1 do, Master Gu?” Song Jian asked with a grin.
Gu Bo:”…”
Isn’t this guy here to show off!?
“Ahem, it seems like you’re not entirely a beginner, you must have practiced for seven or eight years, impressive!” Gu Bo grinned and said, “Come on, let’s spar a bit. And you don’t have to call me Master Gu, we can just regard each other as equals.”
“Alright, Master Gu, please!” Song Jian’s face expressed excitement. After all, he had only fought monsters in the game and was unsure of his own level. He could finally take this opportunity to see how good he is!
