Chapter 202: The Photo That Started a Fight

A chef practicing martial arts? How odd does that sound! And what exactly is Hunyuan Pile?

Chen Jianhai was considering whether to ask.

Sitting next to him was a master of Tongbei Fist, and standing in front of him was a practitioner of Hunyuan Pile. If he asked, would it make him seem shallow and ignorant?

But if he didn't ask, his curiosity would eat away at him.

Chen Jianhai was torn.

"Who did you learn your martial arts from?" Wu Kai asked.

Sheng Yupi replied honestly, "From my master. When I first started learning to cook, I was physically weak and couldn't stand for long periods. My master pitied me and taught me Hunyuan Pile."

"Now, even if I stand in the kitchen all day, I have no problem!"

"Do you know any other martial arts?" Chen Jianhai asked curiously.

Sheng Yupi shyly said, "I've also practiced Bajiquan for eleven years."

Upon hearing this, Wu Kai's eyes lit up like a lightbulb being switched on. "You've practiced Bajiquan for eleven years?!"

Wu Kai's tone noticeably rose.

In the world of martial arts, there is Bagua for the literati and Baji for the warriors. Bagua requires ten years of practice before descending the mountain, while Baji can be deadly after just one year.

Sheng Yupi nodded warily, his eyes questioning Chen Jianhai, "Boss, who is this guy? Is he here to stay or to pick a fight? Why does he have so many questions!"

Seeing Sheng Yupi's cautious eyes, Chen Jianhai was dumbfounded.

An emperor of acting, and you don't recognize him?

How do I even explain this!

Thinking for a moment, Chen Jianhai awkwardly said, "Brother Kai is a master of Tongbei Fist. Just answer his questions as usual."

"Tongbei Fist?!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yupi's demeanor changed instantly. He scrutinized Wu Kai more closely.

The two quickly began discussing martial arts.

Chen Jianhai didn't understand much about martial arts and just listened with interest.

But as they talked,

Wu Kai suddenly flicked his palm out, twisting his wrist and striking towards Sheng Yupi's shoulder.

In a flash,

Sheng Yupi bent backward, his lower body rooted to the ground, twisting his waist and upper body just enough to dodge Wu Kai's left strike!

Then the two exchanged rapid blows, actually fighting right there in the lobby.

"Holy crap, why are they fighting?!"

"Quick, break it up, break it up!!"

The employees, not understanding what was happening, saw their colleague fighting with a guest and were terrified, rushing over to break it up.

But when they got closer, they were all stunned.

How do we even break this up...

The two were fighting skillfully, with punches and kicks flying. Getting involved would just get them caught in the crossfire.

"Boss, are they filming a fight scene?" an employee asked.

"I don't know either..." Chen Jianhai was equally dumbfounded.

As the hotel staff were unsure what to do, Wu Kai's assistant, filming with a phone, said calmly, "Relax, it's fine."

"Brother Kai loves to spar with fellow martial artists when he gets the chance."

Chen Jianhai finally relaxed.

Just sparring, that's good...

If it got out that his hotel's chef beat up an acting emperor, the chef might get famous, but his hotel would be done for!

A long minute passed.

Wu Kai and Sheng Yupi were both panting, looking at each other.

Sheng Yupi kept rubbing his arms, clearly in pain.

"Your lower body technique is good!"

"Your Tongbei is impressive too!"

"Let's go again!"

Seeing Sheng Yupi's defiant expression, Wu Kai secretly massaged his own sore thigh and laughed, "No more."

Then, he walked over and put his arm around Sheng Yupi's shoulder, saying, "Brother, let's take a photo together!"

Chen Jianhai was instantly unsettled!

Many hotels and restaurants pride themselves on having photos with celebrities.

Some hotels abroad even have albums filled with photos of the stars and famous people who have stayed there.

Although having photos with celebrities can greatly enhance a hotel's reputation, the process is quite nuanced.

Chen Jianhai knew that his island hotel wasn't up to Wu Kai's standards, so he didn't dare to ask for a photo, fearing it might backfire.

But he never expected Wu Kai to take the initiative to ask Sheng Yupi for a photo!

This was a golden opportunity!

The hotel staff were all stunned.

"You're not a girl, why would I take a photo with you?" Sheng Yupi said, somewhat disdainfully.

Wu Kai's smile froze instantly.

This damned chubby guy!!!

Chen Jianhai, enraged, kicked Sheng Yupi and scolded, "The guest wants to take a photo with you, what's there to be unwilling about!"

"Xiao Qiu! Why are you just standing there? Take a photo of Brother Kai and Sheng Yupi!"

Qin Mengqiu quickly pulled out her phone and snapped a few photos of Wu Kai and Sheng Yupi.

"Brother Kai, can we also take a photo with you?" Qin Mengqiu asked sweetly, her voice filled with a little pleading.

"Sure!"

Wu Kai, in a great mood, agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Brother Kai!"

Qin Mengqiu almost jumped with joy and handed her phone to Chen Jianhai, saying, "Boss, take a photo for us!!"

Seeing Qin Mengqiu take a photo with Wu Kai, the other employees didn't want to miss the chance either. They all crowded around, posing and making gestures, wanting to take photos with the star.

"Boss, make me look good!"

"Doorman, crouch down a bit, you're blocking Brother Kai's face!"

"Alright!"

"3, 2, 1, cheese!"

Chen Jianhai crouched down, taking photos with a few clicks, capturing everyone's memories in Qin Mengqiu's phone.

"Thank you, Brother Kai!"

The employees, happy after taking their photos, returned to their posts.

Wu Kai also went back to his room with his assistant to rest.

"Why does it feel like... something's missing?" Chen Jianhai stood there, feeling that something was off with the photos.

But he couldn't quite figure out what it was.

And at that moment,

a familiar voice rang in his mind:

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for achieving: Celebrity's Favor."

"Celebrity's Favor will enhance guests' psychological impression and trust in the hotel, rapidly increasing the hotel's popularity and reputation in a short time, providing excellent promotional effects."

"Reward: Large pool and children's wading pool for the island hotel."

"Congratulations to the host for triggering a side mission: The Disappearing Golden Jellyfish Lake."
