Chapter 209 178 My mom is calling me home for dinner.
```
After Fang You changed his clothes, Meng Qing led him to the reception room, where she then greeted him with a smile and asked:
"Fang You, what would you like to drink? Black tea, juice, or coffee... Ah, you can't drink coffee at your age..."
"There's no need to be so nervous, let's get straight to the point."
Fang You crossed his fingers, adopting an extremely mature and experienced demeanor, "What do you want to discuss with me?"
Indeed, she's a student that my sister values so greatly...
Speaking with such a mature and steady tone!
Truly a child unlike any other.
Therefore, Meng Qing's attitude immediately became even more respectful:
"I have always heard my sister talk about you, saying you are a martial arts talent that comes once in a century."
"After seeing your sparring with our Yue Qing today, I realized you are even more formidable than my sister described! So... I would like to take this opportunity to invite you again to join our Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall. Our hall can definitely bring out your talent!"
"..."
Fang You rested his chin on his hand, watching Meng Qing, whose face had turned red from speaking so much in one breath, as if he was waiting for something.
After an awkward silence, seeing that Meng Qing maintained an embarrassed yet polite smile, Fang You slightly raised an eyebrow and said:
"Is that all you wanted to discuss with me?"
!
Ah?
Pressed by Fang You's rhetorical question, Meng Qing also became nervous, thinking hard for a while before finally recalling her sister's instructions:
"Ah? Um... yes, that's right, my sister told me that if you're willing to join our martial arts hall, we can waive the fees for 20 class sessions for you... that is, you can attend classes for free! Plus, we'll throw in a set of professional martial arts attire."
How about that... hehe.
These conditions are tempting, aren't they!
Meng Qing eagerly awaited Fang You's nod of approval, but his expression still seemed somewhat unsatisfied. He sighed quietly and then said:
Meng Qing fidgeted nervously with her fingers, "Well... there are reasons for that—"
Fang You looked at his smartwatch impatiently, then raised his eyebrows slightly. "But that has nothing to do with me, does it? If there's nothing else, my mother is calling me home for dinner. I need to go."
"That... that—"
Meng Qing recalled her sister's entrustment by the sickbed and, thinking that this child might be key to the survival of the martial arts hall, she couldn't bring herself to just watch him leave.
She quickly rushed in front of the reception room door, spread her arms to block Fang You's way, and pitifully clung onto his arm, not letting go.
"Fang You, won't you reconsider? You can propose other conditions, our martial arts hall will do everything we can to satisfy them!"
"Instructor, doing this constitutes harassment of a minor. If you keep blocking me, I'm going to call the police!"
As Fang You spoke, he lifted his smartwatch, the great Z13 version, equipped with a one-touch alarm feature that can instantly pinpoint his location and dial emergency services, ensuring his personal safety against any adult's intrusion!
"I'm sorry! But... please, just let me explain a little more, will you!"
As she spoke, Meng Qing knelt down in front of Fang You, displaying an extremely sincere and respectful attitude:
"Actually, the thing is... this is how it went down..."
If we turn back the clock half a month, Meng Qing could never have imagined that she would come into contact with martial arts again during her sophomore year in university.
Although Meng Qing had participated in martial arts training under her sister's influence since she was young and had shown great talent, winning a gold medal in the provincial children's martial arts competition at the age of 10.
After that, however, for some personal reasons, Meng Qing gave up the hobby after entering middle school.
Her sister, on the other hand, continued to pursue her dream.
Until now.
Currently, the Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall, her sister's establishment, is facing a severe challenge.
Due to poor enrollment performance, the headquarters of the Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall were quite dissatisfied with Mei City's branch. However, they gave Meng Xing one last chance for assessment.
The Children's Martial Arts Sports Association of Mei City will hold a martial arts showcase contest at the end of August, inviting all the children's martial arts halls in the city to participate. As the famed Jingji Martial Arts Hall, they will also send representatives to attend the event as guests.
Therefore, they hoped Meng Xing would display her branch's training achievement at the showcase.
If she fails again to produce eye-catching results and satisfactory performance for the martial arts hall, the hall will be included in the list for closure by the end of the year.
Meng Xing, for the sake of preparing for the coaches' competition at the showcase, trained day and night, to the extent that she accidentally twisted her thigh and fractured her leg. She's still in the hospital bed recuperating, definitely unable to compete.
Therefore, to save the children's martial arts hall on the brink of closure, Meng Qing, as the sister, decided to step up!
