Chapter 346 Retirement

Shi Feizhe finished watching the employee competition and returned to his office.

“I’m going to apply for retirement.” He went to the office next door and said to Guan Shan.

Guan Shan is now a member of the Jianghu Reform Committee and also his deputy.

Guan Shan, who was busy with his work, was stunned. He looked up at Shi Feizhe and said, “My dean, why are you retiring suddenly?”

“Don’t we still have a lot of things to do? Things like fighting cults, developing aerospace, increasing employment, and improving people’s livelihood,” Guan Shan continued.

“But I’m 65 years old and I can’t do it anymore,” said Shi Feizhe.

His mental age is actually more than sixty-five.

Before traveling through time, he was already thirty-five years old, and he had been in the old world for thirteen or fourteen years.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of New Jianghu.

If you do the math, he’s mentally in his seventies or eighties.

He felt tired.

It’s not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.

“Both work and the future should be left to you young people!” Shi Feizhe said to Guan Shan.

“It seems like you are many years older than us.” Guan Shan, who is also in his sixties, looked at Shi Feizhe and said sarcastically.

They have been together for decades, so naturally they can talk about anything.

Strictly speaking, he is a little older than Shi Feizhe.

“It’s different.” Shi Feizhe said.

“What’s the difference?” Guan Shan asked.

“You are different from me.” Shi Feizhe said, “You are also different from your past.”

People are changing. The Guanshan I met in Luoyang, the Guanshan in Qingshan Martial Arts Academy, the Guanshan who entered Yuzhou, the Guanshan in the new Jianghu.

Guanshan is changing every moment.

Guan Shan didn’t know, but Shi Feizhe saw it clearly.

“Is it possible that you are too stubborn?” Guan Shan rarely used the word “you” and said, “You often say that things are always developing.”

“The contradictions are different at different stages of development.”

“There’s nothing wrong with us making some slight adjustments to make it more in line with the current world!” Guan Shan said.

Guan Shan felt that Shi Feizhe had the same idea decades ago and decades later. Why didn’t he know how to adapt?

“That’s a modification! It’s a betrayal of the general public in the underworld!” Shi Feizhe argued with him.

He had often quarreled with them over the years.

“We are the general public. How could we betray the general public in the martial arts world?” Guan Shan was furious when he heard this.

If we don’t listen to you, you will say that we are making changes and we are making trouble.

What’s the point?

Do I have to listen to you?

If I listen to you, being tolerant to others and strict with myself will make everyone very tired.

The new Jianghu has unified the world, and the current enemies are aliens from a thousand years later.

According to the current development of the martial arts world, we will be able to fly out of the earth in a hundred years, and in a thousand years, we may be able to defend against enemies outside the solar system.

What are you afraid of!

Why do you always worry about whether you have betrayed the masses? Our new world is getting stronger.

This is the disagreement between him and Shi Feizhe.

Or rather, their differences with Shi Feizhe.

Shi Feizhe taught them a lot of knowledge, but after absorbing it, they restructured the knowledge according to their own understanding.

Everyone has their own experiences, their own thoughts, and their own way of looking at the world.

Even if they are taught by the same teacher, they will be different. This is what happened to Shi Feizhe, who was refuted by the person he taught.

It’s all his fault that he is a half-baked person, his theoretical knowledge is not solid, and he relies on his fists to fight in the underworld.

Strength, not theory, is the foundation for him to build a new world.

In the current situation, unless he rebuilds Qingshan Martial Arts Academy and starts over.

Will this happen again if it happens again?
In the final analysis, it is because productivity is insufficient and the classes that should exist have not emerged. A society that tries to force things to grow will ultimately force things to grow.

Is there no point in trying to force things to grow? Of course there is!
If there were no such people, how would we know that there would be such an era.

The times failed such a person, not him. The enemy is too strong and even more deceptive!
So, he wants to retire.

It’s time for him to retire.

After all, he is not the warrior who fights until he grows old.

“Okay, what you said makes sense. I want to retire! I want to step back.” Shi Feizhe was too lazy to argue with him.

Guan Shan felt the situation was difficult when he saw Shi Feizhe who was seriously preparing to retire.

Although they have slightly different ideas from Shi Feizhe and think that Shi Feizhe is inflexible, they still respect Shi Feizhe very much.

For a warrior of 149 years old, Shi Feizhe is in his prime in his sixties.

Forcing such a leader to retire would make them seem… too much.

Is this a step backward to advance?
Guan Shan said tentatively: “Dean…why don’t we just do as you say? Don’t be angry with us.”

“Who is angry with you? I really want to retire.” Shi Feizhe said: “The world is yours after all.”

After all, the world of martial arts belongs to the people of the world.

After all, he is just an outsider and he will leave eventually.

The world of martial arts is much better now than when he first arrived.

The rest will be left to the young people and future generations.

When Guan Shan heard Shi Feizhe say, “After all, the world is yours,” he felt that Shi Feizhe was really angry.

He quickly said: “Dean, we are all your students. We…”

“I know you, I understand you, I understand you better than you do.” Shi Feizhe said: “This will not affect my retirement.”

“I can’t be the chairman of the committee for my whole life. What would I become if I did that? Wouldn’t I just be an old bastard standing in the toilet without taking a shit?”

“The chairman can also be replaced. Who among you wants to be the chairman?” Shi Feizhe raised this question.

Who will be the chairman?
Can I be the chairman too?
This question made Guan Shan stunned.

In their hearts, Shi Feizhe has always been the only chairman in their hearts. Now that Shi Feizhe suddenly expressed his intention to retire, they can also become the chairman.

Guan Shan then felt that Shi Feizhe really wanted to retire and was not testing them.

This is a big deal!
So Guan Shan called a meeting of people, including Huang Jiaoxue, Xi Ping, Zhang Qiming, plus him and Shi Feizhe, which made up the five-member Jianghu Reform Committee.

Shi Feizhe looked at the four of them, seriously discussing Shi Feizhe’s retirement and the selection of chairman.

They argued, they discussed, they hesitated to speak, and each had his own calculations and ideas.

Under normal circumstances, Shi Feizhe would lead them, but now, Shi Feizhe just watched.

If it rains, let it rain. If my mother wants to get married, let her get married.

He cannot lead them forever; sooner or later they will have to change the world themselves.

The underworld will also be stirred up by them, maybe for good, maybe for bad.

But it’s their choice.

Shi Feizhe couldn’t care less.

Even so, it took Shi Feizhe many years to retire.

After forty years of chivalry, Shi Feizhe retired and the martial arts world entered a new stage.
