"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The width of that pond, there's no way you can cross it."
"Oh my goodness, if you slip up even a little, it's instant death!"
"As expected of the guy who won the world championship driving a minivan. He dares to attempt something so dangerous!"
Everyone was astonished by Wang Shu's audacious idea.
To them, Wang Shu's actions were far too risky.
They treated racing as a hobby, not something they wanted to lose their lives over.
Therefore, they would never dare to participate in Wang Shu's daring experiment.
Wang Shu, on the other hand, appeared completely confident.
Gazing at the wide pond not far ahead, a hint of triumph flickered at the corner of his lips.
Today, he would showcase his skills to these pampered second-generation rich kids.
While the pond's surface was wide, relying solely on inertia to reach the other side would be difficult.
However, the car he was driving now was no ordinary car. This was a Ferrari.
Its massive engine could instantly boost the car's speed, and its chassis design and lightweight construction were superb.
Thus, as long as he controlled it precisely, leaping across a pond of this width should not be a problem.
"Wang Shu, don't push yourself too hard!"
Lu Nan, seeing Wang Shu nearing the pond, couldn't help but feel a bead of sweat for him.
A car was one thing, but Wang Shu was a living human being. He didn't want Wang Shu to risk his life just to show off his driving skills to the members.
That would be far too much.
However, Wang Shu did not disappoint. He slammed on the accelerator, and the roar of the powerful engine instantly echoed throughout the entire track.
Wang Shu even felt as if he were sitting inside a beast.
As the speed continued to increase, the car shot out of the track, its four tires leaving the ground in succession, soaring through the air above the pond.
"Damn, that's incredible!"
"Just the fact that he dared to do that, I'm already impressed!"
"That's the definition of awesome, truly awesome!"
As Wang Shu leaped over the pond, everyone's eyes widened again, expressing their genuine awe at the unbelievable sight.
They had never in their lives imagined driving a car to leap over a pond.
And today, they were witnessing it firsthand.
The vehicle Wang Shu was driving traced a perfect arc through the air, like a shooting star.
It then smoothly flew to the other side of the pond and landed safely.
...
"So, everyone, what do you think?"
Wang Shu drove the car up to the group and stepped out, looking at them with a smile and asking.
"Absolutely stunning! Coach Wang, can you teach me that move?"
"My goodness, that was the most thrilling sight I've ever witnessed."
"I'm convinced, truly convinced this time. From now on, in the racing world, I only respect Brother Wang!"
The members looked at Wang Shu with entirely different eyes now.
Perhaps before, they were merely curious about this legendary figure. But now, they truly felt a sense of genuine admiration for him.
"Everyone, practice hard, and you'll all be able to do this in the future!"
Wang Shu patted the shoulder of a guy in front of him and said to everyone.
"Alright, that's all for today. Thank you all for coming!"
Wang Shu said with a smile to everyone.
"What? Are you leaving?"
Lu Nan asked, looking at Wang Shu.
"Yes, every day I wake up, there's endless work. I have to go back and continue filming!"
Wang Shu said with a look of hardship.
"Didn't you get into music? Why are you filming now?"
Lu Nan asked curiously.
He remembered Wang Shu being active in the music industry, so why was he talking about making movies now?
"How can I continue in the music industry? Haven't you heard that the Qian Yin Group has blacklisted me?"
Wang Shu replied with a faint smile.
"Qian Yin Group? Blacklisted you?"
Lu Nan looked surprised. He hadn't expected Wang Shu to be blacklisted by the Qian Yin Group.
He knew the Qian Yin Group quite well. Although his family didn't have any ventures in the entertainment industry, he knew some girls who were signed singers with the Qian Yin Group.
Furthermore, it seemed that this group was one of the largest music conglomerates in China, with significant influence in the Chinese music scene.
In fact, their record and online music licensing rights accounted for roughly one-third of the total duration of music available.
Whether many emerging online music platforms could succeed now depended on whether the Qian Yin Group approved.
If the Qian Yin Group did not approve, then a new online music platform would have no way to get off the ground.
As copyright trolls, the Qian Yin Group was so large and held so many licensing rights that everyone in the industry had to tread carefully around them.
Even Penguin Music, under the Tencent Group, did not dare to easily oppose the Qian Yin Group.
After all, if the Qian Yin Group was displeased, they could unilaterally breach contracts and demand that Tencent remove all songs they licensed.
It was for this reason that Wang Shu was rejected by various platforms due to a directive from the Qian Yin Group back then.
Even institutions like television stations were forced to cease cooperation with Wang Shu.
Otherwise, given the popularity of Wang Shu's songs at the time, why would any television station or online platform give him up?
"You actually provoked Qian Yin, that is indeed a bit troublesome!"
Lu Nan mused, looking at Wang Shu with sympathy.
"Hey, it's no big deal. I won't starve if I leave music! My works will soon dominate the Chinese film and television market again."
Wang Shu said with a cold smile.
No matter how powerful the Qian Yin Group was, it was merely a music conglomerate.
In the music industry, Wang Shu might not be able to do much to them for now.
But in the film and television industry, no matter how much influence the Qian Yin Group had, they couldn't interfere with him.
"If you need anything, feel free to tell me. Although our family's businesses are mainly in manufacturing, I can still help out with some things!"
Lu Nan said to Wang Shu earnestly.
He wasn't sure if Wang Shu's sudden dive into the film and television industry would be successful, but he still intended to help Wang Shu to the best of his ability.
Even if Wang Shu couldn't make a splash in the film and television industry, it wouldn't matter.
"Your words are enough, that's very kind of you!"
Wang Shu felt that Lu Nan was a good guy, someone he could count on.
"Su Yao, do you have any news?"
After a moment of silence, Wang Shu asked Lu Nan.
"Ah? I don't,"
Lu Nan was startled for a moment before replying.
"If you hear anything about her, you must tell me. If you can contact her, please also tell her that I want her to come back!"
Wang Shu said earnestly.
"Don't worry, if I get any news about her, I'll inform you immediately."
Lu Nan promised directly.
"Alright, I'll come by often when I have time. That's all for today!"
Wang Shu stood up.
"Okay, I won't keep you then. Have a safe trip!"
Lu Nan then stood up and escorted Wang Shu to the club's entrance.
After that, Wang Shu hailed a taxi and headed to the airport.
"What the heck, isn't that our coach? Is he that good at martial arts too?"
"It really seems like it. This coach has been hiding his skills too well!"
"I'm defeated, completely defeated. I feel like such a loser right now."
At this moment, in the club's lounge, the members were gathered around looking at their phones.
The video playing on their phones was of Wang Shu's decisive battle against Gou Shengwen Shan.
"What are you guys doing?"
Lu Nan, returning to the lounge, asked curiously as he saw the members gathered together.
"Captain, our coach is too awesome! Look at this!"
A member looked up at Lu Nan and pointed at the phone screen.
Lu Nan, also curious, leaned in.
When he saw Wang Shu easily defeating Gou Shengwen Shan on the screen, he couldn't help but be shocked once more.
"Wang Shu, Wang Shu, how many secrets are you hiding!"
Lu Nan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
...
"Boss, you were too cool! You're even better than what I learned at Shaolin Temple. Teach me sometime!"
As soon as he returned to Dragon Island, Wang Baobao said to Wang Shu.
He had watched Wang Shu's duel with Gou Shengwen Shan with the entire company today.
He hadn't expected Wang Shu to be such a skilled fighter, so as soon as Wang Shu returned, he pestered him to teach him martial arts.
"Your current skills are already sufficient. Why learn more?"
Wang Shu said with a smile.
Wang Baobao, despite his simple and honest personality, possessed considerable talent in martial arts.
Moreover, Wang Baobao had already been studying martial arts at Shaolin Temple for several years.
His current combat skills were already considered quite good in society.
"I want to become even stronger!"
Wang Baobao said to Wang Shu with a serious expression.
"If that's the case, then I accept you as my disciple!"
Wang Shu said directly, seeing Wang Baobao's earnest look.
"Master above, please accept your disciple's bow!"
Upon hearing that Wang Shu would take him as a disciple, Wang Baobao's face lit up with joy.
He quickly knelt before Wang Shu and kowtowed.
"This is bad, you've already kowtowed, so I can't refuse now."
Wang Shu continued with a smile.
He had originally planned to tease Wang Baobao, but the guy was quick.
The moment he said he would accept, Wang Baobao immediately kowtowed to him.
Since that was the case, Wang Shu did not refuse.
After all, it would be a waste of Wang Baobao's martial arts talent if he didn't learn some advanced techniques.
Moreover, he intended to cultivate a reliable successor for his martial arts.
Given Wang Baobao's honest nature and lack of scheming, he was naturally the most suitable candidate.
That was why Wang Shu agreed so readily.
