Chapter 135: Everyone's Attention! (Please subscribe)

In the evening, Zhang Xinjie returned home exhausted.

His parents cared for him a few times, and he chatted with his younger siblings for a while; his body and mind, originally exhausted from work, gradually recovered.

Soon the food was on the table: a plate of braised pork trotters, a plate of cold-dressed pig ears, a plate of green vegetables, and half a casserole of pig lung soup—definitely a hearty dinner.

"Sigh, it's still most comfortable to eat at home!"

Picking up a piece of braised pork trotter, Zhang Xinjie couldn't help but sigh, "Although the pork trotter rice ordered at noon had a good portion, there were only one or two pieces of trotter!"

"Be content!"

Mom said unceremoniously, "If it weren't for Wu providing a large amount of cheap pork scraps, you'd still want to eat so well? Don't think about what the situation was like in the past!"

In the past, the lunch Zhang Xinjie ate at the company was something like stir-fried rice noodles, and the price wasn't cheap.

This stuff was about the same as the "stir-fried noodles" in the central provinces of the Mainland; eating too much would also make one tired of it.

How could it be as fragrant as eating pork trotter rice?

If it were in a restaurant, wouldn't a bowl of pork trotter rice cost over fifty?

"Mom is still the best, being able to get some pork trotters and pig ears from the tea restaurant!"

Zhang Xinjie flattered, "Otherwise, how could the food at home be so great?"

"Knowing is enough!"

Mom was very happy and hurriedly picked food for Zhang Xinjie and his younger siblings, saying non-stop, "Eat more!"

After a hearty dinner, Zhang Xinjie felt that the whole person was satisfied.

He only hoped to live such a life every day. At this time, the quarrel between his younger siblings attracted his attention.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what are you two doing?"

"I want to watch TVB's drama, but he wants to watch ATV's program!"

"Oh, let me see, what fresh programs does ATV have?"

Zhang Xinjie immediately became interested and turned the channel directly to ATV. Suddenly, an intense fight entered his eyes.

On the TV screen, two tough young men wearing protective headgear and boxing gloves were fighting fiercely on a somewhat crude ring.

Combined with the exclamations from the host and the audience, this fighting competition had an extra atmosphere.

Zhang Xinjie only looked at it for two seconds before his attention was quickly attracted.

He saw the fighters on the TV screen throwing iron fists in succession; when fighting at close quarters, there were even extremely sharp elbow strikes, which was clearly not the routine of a boxing match.

The next moment, he saw a fighter actually sweep out with a horizontal leg.

Damn, what kind of fighting competition is this? It's too violent, and they can even use their feet?

Zhang Xinjie was dumbfounded and was startled by such an intense fighting scene.

Fortunately, the opponent reacted quickly, blocking with his arm to take the sharp whip kick, and then took advantage of the momentum to rush forward and throw a few fierce heavy punches. Just listening to the muffled "bang, bang, bang" sounds made his chest feel stuffy.

Zhang Xinjie watched the TV intently like this until the end of a round, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"What kind of fighting competition is this? It's too intense and fierce!"

At this time, his younger brother explained, "Big brother, this is a fighting competition broadcast by ATV!"

"I heard the competition venue is the underground fighting ring on Portland Street. I don't know how it got on TV!"

"How do you know these things?"

Zhang Xinjie asked subconsciously, "You wouldn't be hanging out with the little hooligans on the street again, would you?"

"That's my classmate, don't say it so ugly!"

His younger brother was unhappy and said unceremoniously, "Besides, on Shanghai Street, in Feng's territory, who dares to mess around?"

"That's true!"

Zhang Xinjie breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing his younger sister pouting on the side, he simply gave her ten dollars to go out and play; otherwise, if Mom saw it, she would think he was bullying his sister.

He was now very interested in the fighting competition on TV. Taking advantage of the fighters' break, he asked his younger brother how much inside information he knew.

"Hmph, my classmate's older brother helps out at the underground fighting ring!"

Finally able to show off in front of his big brother, although his younger brother felt a bit unhappy, he still explained proudly, "I heard Feng persuaded ATV to come and film, and that's how we have the fighting program on TV!"

"Big brother, didn't you notice that those two fighters look familiar?"

"Oh, let me look carefully. Hey, aren't they the close-combat fighters beside Wu?"

At this time, the two fighters on the TV screen who had just caught their breath began to punch and kick each other again.

Zhang Xinjie identified them carefully and quickly recognized the identities of the two fighters.

"Hmph, now you know why they are so powerful, right? To be Feng's close-combat fighter, how could they not be strong?"

"Then why did they get on the ring?"

Zhang Xinjie asked curiously, "It wouldn't be Wu's request, right?"

"It really is Feng's request!"

His younger brother said in surprise, "The underground fighting ring on Portland Street, wasn't it Dongxing's Ben Shu's before?"

"Later, it was snatched by two Hongxing Hall Masters, and Feng let the Red Pole Zhang Yong manage it temporarily!"

"The underground fighting ring has long been open; you can go in and watch the competition for a few dollars. I heard it's quite intense, isn't it being broadcast on TV?"

It was indeed intense!

Zhang Xinjie didn't continue to ask but watched the wonderful and intense fighting competition on the TV screen carefully.

Those two fighters were really using all kinds of methods: headbutts, boxing, elbow strikes, knee strikes, whip kicks—almost every attack method was used.

But I don't know if it was because they were too familiar, but these attacks, which looked very sharp to Zhang Xinjie, were all blocked, and they were often countered by the opponent with a fierce counterattack.

Even if they were hit by accident, they could still persist and continue fighting.

Zhang Xinjie watched with surging emotions and subconsciously put himself in their shoes, only to find in frustration that he would probably be finished in less than three seconds.

As a result, the two fighters on the TV screen actually fought for four full rounds before deciding the winner.

Seeing this, Zhang Xinjie couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief and sighed subconsciously, "The strength of these two is really quite powerful; their stamina alone is quite amazing!"

"If they weren't good at fighting, could they become Feng's close-combat brothers?"

His younger brother said dismissively, "I heard that Feng's close-combat underlings are all very good at fighting!"

"Impossible!"

Zhang Xinjie questioned, "With this skill, I guess the Red Poles of the triad are only at this level, right?"

"How would I know that?"

His younger brother said worshipfully, "Anyway, Feng's underlings are especially good at fighting; that's a recognized thing in Mong Kok!"

Zhang Xinjie couldn't be bothered with his younger brother, whose brain wasn't working well, and continued to watch the TV program. He just happened to hear the host introduce that this was a warm-up program for the upcoming "Unlimited Fighting Tournament."

The competition between the two fighters just now was an exhibition match before the official competition!

The intense competition just now was only an exhibition match before the official competition?

Zhang Xinjie was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a while.

Could it be that there are really many kung fu experts in Hong Kong, and the strength of the two who fought in the exhibition match just now is very average?

If it's average, then wouldn't he be the waste of wastes?

He could be sure that if he went on the field, he would definitely not be able to hold on for a few moves before kneeling!

The fighting exhibition matches broadcast by ATV were not long, only showing two sets of fighters fighting each time.

The time was about twenty minutes, and in fact, there were not many viewers watching.

Although ATV turned losses into profits after Qiu Degen took over, the ratings were still suppressed by TVB, whether it was dramas or TV programs.

But as ATV broadcast a wonderful and intense fighting exhibition match every once in a while.

Slowly, the number of viewers watching voluntarily increased, and the ratings were actually quite good.

When Qiu Degen heard the report, he also felt a bit unreal!

Didn't expect that Hong Kong viewers really love to watch such intense and wonderful fighting competitions?

Then what else is there to say?

Continue to broadcast the exhibition matches of the underground fighting ring. When Wu Feng officially starts the "Unlimited Fighting Tournament" one day, ATV will definitely continue to follow up and cooperate.

Of course, in Qiu Degen's view, this can also be considered preparation for Wu Feng to take over ATV!

Once he really successfully takes over ATV, with this competition that looks very promising in hand, at least the opposing voices within ATV will be much smaller.

Wu Feng didn't consider it so far!

The initial purpose was really just to formalize the underground fighting ring.

But the influence and money-making ability of the underground fighting ring were really average. If there was no cooperation from the TV station, it could only become a game for a small circle.

If he really ended up in that situation, where would his face as a reborn person be?

At the same time, any triad underling who saw the exhibition match broadcast by ATV was startled by the strength of the fighters, one by one opening their eyes wide with disbelief.

"Is this really a Hongxing fighter? Did I get it wrong?"

"A bit too strong, right? The Big Di with extraordinary strength in the triad are probably only at this level!"

"Who can tell me, are the fighters on TV really that strong?"

"I heard they are the elite fighters under Wu, the Hongxing Hall Master of Sai Kung. I don't know what he wants to do?"

"If his underlings have such strong strength, then what are we still doing?"

"They definitely aren't all that powerful; at most, there are only a dozen or so!"

Not to mention other triad big brothers, even the various Hall Masters of Hongxing were quite surprised when they saw the program.

"Wu is really a big spender; even his close-combat fighters have been sent out!"

"This strength is also a bit powerful; even the powerful Big Di in the triad are only a little stronger than those fighters in the program. It's a bit exaggerated!"

"I heard these fighters were all cultivated by Wu himself. Is it true or false?"

"Regardless, it's better not to offend this guy if possible. His underlings are so sharp, wouldn't his three Big Di be even more powerful?"

"A Nan, you must work hard. When your strength is enough, I will send you to participate in the Unlimited Fighting Tournament organized by Wu, so you can show off your skills!"

"B Ge, don't always stare at Nan Ge. I, Shanjie, and Datian Er are all very promising. Who knows, maybe we will be powerful fighters in the future too!"
