After breakfast the next day, Xiao Yuan and Xia Jiuying had breakfast and were about to leave home, but when they were in school class, they heard a doorbell ringing outside the door.

Xiao Yuan came to the door of the villa and saw a teenage Asian boy standing outside the courtyard gate, so he walked over.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Xiao Yuan?" When the young man saw Xiao Yuan coming over, he first hugged Xiao Yuan and asked in Chinese.

"Yes, I'm Xiao Yuan, do you have anything to do?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"Do you have time today, my master would like to ask you to come over and talk about it." The boy said.

"Who is your master?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"My master is Tong Banshan, the owner of the Banshan Martial Arts Hall, he said that you know him, and he also said that he has something very important to find you, please for the sake of everyone being Chinese, you must agree." The boy said.

"I have a class this morning, an appointment at noon, and I can have time in the afternoon." Xiao Yuan said.

"It's okay, my master said that as long as you go, he is free at any time, this is my master's business card, please keep it." The boy handed in a business card through the wrought iron gate and said.

"Okay, I'll go over when I have time in the afternoon." Xiao Yuan took the business card, put it away after taking a look, and said.

"Excuse me, goodbye." The young man saw Xiao Yuan accept the business card, hugged Xiao Yuan again, and turned to leave.

After returning to the villa again, Xia Jiuying was already dressed and sat in the living room waiting for Xiao Yuan, she saw Xiao Yuan come in, so she asked, "I saw that person just now looks like a Chinese, what is he looking for you?" ”

"He is Tong Banshan's apprentice, and he said that Tong Banshan has something important to look for me, let me go to the Banshan Martial Arts Hall." Xiao Yuan said.

"Tong Banshan?" Xia Jiuying frowned, and then asked, "Is it Liu Wenwen's master?" ”

"That's him." Xiao Yuan said.

"What is he looking for you for, won't he want to avenge Liu Wenwen, will there be any danger if he goes?" Xia Jiuying said a little worriedly.

"Probably not." Xiao Yuan said, "But it's not wrong to be careful, you don't go this afternoon, I put on the body armor that Jiang Hua gave me when I go, I haven't worn it since he gave it to me on my last birthday." ”

"Well, you have to be careful." Xia Jiuying probably felt that it would not make a difference if she went, but would become a drag on Xiao Yuan, so she agreed to Xiao Yuan's arrangement.

The two came out of the house together, rode to the school, and went to class separately when they arrived at the school, without saying anything in the morning, at noon, Xiao Yuan came to the small square of the College of Science as agreed, and when they got there, Xia Jiuying and Rubin were waiting there, and after the meeting, the three of them went to the Berkeley campus together, not far from the College of Science, a café.

"Rubin, what's the matter, can you say it now?" After sitting down, Xiao Yuan asked directly.

"Xiao Yuan, your performance in yesterday's memory battle was amazing, I didn't expect that your computer skills would be so good, but why didn't you choose a computer major and study boring math, don't you know that Berkeley's best major is computer science?" Rubin said.

"I chose to major in mathematics because I had my own considerations. Xiao Yuan didn't explain anything more about Rubin's doubts, and asked, "But does this have anything to do with what you want to tell me?" ”

"Haha, there is a certain relationship, because I have taken a fancy to your skills, Xiao Yuan, I want to invite you to work for me." Rubin said with a laugh.

"Let me work for you?" Rubin's words made Xiao Yuan feel a little surprised.

"Yes, work for me, if you want, I can give you a payment that you absolutely can't refuse, and if you want, I can help you and Xia get green cards." Rubin's expression became serious, he looked at Xiao Yuan with a pair of blue eyes, and said very sincerely.

"High salary, green card."

"Yes."

"Rubin, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I have no plans to work for the time being." Obviously, high salary and green card, two things with great temptation, are not attractive to Xiao Yuan, and if he has the time to work for others, he feels that he should do more work for the Xuanni community through the Internet.

"Xiao Yuan, I think you should first listen to what kind of work I asked you to do, and then decide whether to refuse or not." Rubin continued.

"No matter what the job, I'm not going to be interested, Rubin, if that's what you're asking me to say, all I can say is I'm sorry." Xiao Yuan waved his hand, rejected Rubin again, and then pulled Xia Jiuying to stand up and said, "Rubin, the matter is over, I think we are going home, goodbye." ”

"Xiao Yuan, you're very interested in the innovation lab, aren't you?" Rubin also stood up, followed behind Xiao Yuan, and asked.

"Yes, I'm interested because there's something in there that I'm interested in." Xiao Yuan said.

"Well, I admit it, I can't provide you with the same environment and conditions as the Innovation Lab, and I don't have so many perverts to work for me, but whether you want to work for me or not, as a friend, I have to advise you." Rubin said.

"What do you persuade me?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"No matter how attractive the Innovation Lab is to you, don't join it, or you'll regret it sooner or later." Rubin said.

"Why do you say that, is the Innovation Lab a tiger's den in Longtan?" Xiao Yuan slowed down and asked.

Rubin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, that's all I can say, maybe I can say more if you're willing to work for me." ”

"Huh." Xiao Yuan laughed and said, "Since that's the case, forget it, goodbye." ”

"Okay, goodbye." Rubin said helplessly.

The two came out of the café and went home to cook, and after eating, Xia Jiuying went back to school, while Xiao Yuan went to the Banshan Martial Arts Hall according to the address provided by Tong Banshan.

The mid-levels martial arts hall was only a block away from the Meichuan karate gym that Dave led Xiao Yuan to, and Xiao Yuan took ten minutes to arrive by bicycle.

The place where the Banshan Martial Arts Hall is located is a Chinese gathering area, Xiao Yuan rode a bicycle in it, looking at the Chinese-style buildings on both sides of the street, Chinese signs, and the friendly yellow faces, there was an illusion of returning to China.

The architectural style of the Banshan Martial Arts Hall also has a strong Chinese style, and there are four traditional characters on a plaque outside the gate: Banshan Martial Arts Hall, looking inside through the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is the shadow wall wall with a big five-character letter, followed by a courtyard, and the specific layout inside is blocked by the shadow wall wall, which is not clear to see.

"Why five, not martial arts, it's a little strange." Xiao Yuan was a little strange, he walked into the gate of the martial arts hall, and immediately a young man greeted him, and after asking him what he meant, he took him into the courtyard, asked him to wait in the courtyard, and then went to the master to report himself.

At this time, Xiao Yuan had the opportunity to see the layout of the courtyard of the martial arts hall clearly, the layout of the whole courtyard is a bit similar to the domestic courtyard, there is the main house facing the north and south, there are also the wings on the east and west sides, and the south room of the inverted seat, there are two weapon racks on the west side of the courtyard, on which are placed eighteen class weapons such as axes, hooks and forks, next to the weapon rack, there are some practice equipment such as stone locks, this is not the most eye-catching place in this courtyard, the most eye-catching place in the courtyard, It is a circular groove on the ground paved with blue bricks in the middle of the courtyard, which seems to have been stepped on by someone, and is five or six centimeters deep.

Looking at this circle, Xiao Yuan was secretly frightened, and secretly said how long it would take to step on such a groove on the ground of the green bricks.

"Haha, little brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time." When there were a lot of people in this courtyard of the martial arts hall, a hearty laughter attracted Xiao Yuan's attention, Tong Banshan walked out of the main house in the north, and Liu Wenwen followed Xiao Yuan step by step, looking at Xiao Yuan with a rather unkind gaze.

"Hello, Mr. Tong." Xiao Yuan nodded to Tong Banshan and said.

"You're welcome." Tong Banshan nodded.

"Xiao Yuan, I was accidentally plotted by you last time, and today I want to challenge you again." At this time, Liu Wenwen walked out from behind Tong Banshan, looked at Xiao Yuan coldly, and said loudly.
