"Representative Yang, the first company I approached was Longyue Group, and I offered your company the opportunity, but your company rejected my offer."
I know your company may or may not have some orders, but they're not important. Since we couldn't reach an agreement in the first place, there's no need for further cooperation now.
Chen Lie glanced at Yang Ningbing and walked straight over.
Yang Ningbing frowned, feeling extremely displeased.
At this moment, an employee of Longyue Group came over and asked, "Representative Yang, it's said that General Manager Yang at headquarters has a teacher-student relationship with Gu Tiangu, the renowned instructor of the Dongchuan Province's genius team. Why don't you speak to General Manager Yang and ask her to ask Gu Tiangu to act as an intermediary and communicate with Chen Lie?"
"There's no need!"
Yang Ningbing snorted coldly: "The martial arts champion of Dongchuan, a remote and impoverished province, is not even as good as Xichuan in terms of geographical location. It's not worth me using my connections."
"When the Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament takes place, I'll try to get the martial arts champions from the three provinces of Sichuan to represent us. Wouldn't that be far better than just having a martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province?"
"But—the martial arts champions from the three provinces, determined by the three-province martial arts competition, shouldn't be easy to invite, right?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I will contact the martial arts leader of Yunchuan Province in advance."
Decades ago, the top martial arts champions in Yunnan Province were all martial arts champions from the martial arts competition held by the three provinces in central Sichuan.
Moreover, this year's champion of Yun Chuan Martial Arts Tournament is a top-tier martial arts genius who surpasses even the champions of Guannei Province.
Yang Ningbing said calmly.
Although she said that, she knew deep down that even the martial arts champions from the three provinces, who were determined by the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, would not have the same influence as the martial arts champions from Dongchuan Province itself.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it, because Chen Lie had rejected her.
Just as Chen Lie walked ahead, Jiang Minghua from Changsheng Pharmaceutical caught up with him.
"Chen Lie, Chen Lie—"
Jiang Minghua quickly walked to Chen Lie's side and said, "Chen Lie, congratulations on winning first place and becoming the champion of martial arts in the province."
To be honest, the contract we signed before was a bit too unfair to you. It's really unreasonable that the endorsement fee for a provincial martial arts champion is only 200 million star coins.
"How about this? I'll team up with the company's shareholders and raise another 50 million Star Dollars, bringing the total to 250 million Star Dollars. Then we'll sign a new contract. What do you say?"
Chen Lie glanced at Jiang Minghua and asked, "Can your company's shareholders agree to you taking out so much money all at once?"
"Of course I agree! The endorsement of the top martial arts champion in the province is not something that money can buy. Even if it costs a lot of money and even if it results in a loss, it is still beneficial to the company to have the top martial arts champion as its spokesperson," Jiang Minghua said.
Chen Lie grunted and said, "There's no need to gather the fifty million star coins."
"How about this, we'll change the rules again. If I win first place in the Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament, you'll pay me another 200 million star coins, making it a total of 400 million star coins. What do you say?"
"That would be excellent, but—the first place in the martial arts competition among the three provinces of Sichuan is probably not so easy to win, is it?"
""
"You don't need to worry about that," Chen Lie waved his hand.
The endorsement of the champion of martial arts in Sichuan is so valuable that even if it were worth 500 million star coins, let alone 400 million, companies from the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi would be eager to acquire it.
Faced with Chen Lie's suggestion, Jiang Minghua had no reason to refuse: "Then let's revise the contract again?"
"There's no need to change the contract; a verbal agreement will suffice."
Chen Lie said nonchalantly, "I don't believe anyone would dare to renege on the debt of a provincial martial arts champion."
Even a behemoth like the Sunrise Group, which spans eight provinces including Sichuan and Shaanxi, might have the power to default on its debts, but there's no reason for them to antagonize a martial arts genius with unlimited potential over a mere few hundred million star coins, unless the company's leaders have lost their minds.
"Okay, let's add a contact method. Send it to me directly after your account is set up."
I'll go back immediately to coordinate with the company's shareholders to ensure that the 200 million Singapore dollars arrive in the account in one lump sum.
"it is good."
Chen Lie nodded and exchanged contact information with Jiang Minghua.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard a clear, crisp voice.
"Hello, Chen Lie, my little brother."
Chen Lie looked up and saw Zhao Jinglan greeting him with a smile, so he nodded in response, "Sister Jinglan."
Zhao Jinglan gently moved to Chen Lie's side: "Congratulations, Brother Chen Lie, on becoming the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province."
I knew from the first moment I saw you that you were no ordinary person.
"We were originally planning to have you endorse one of our new gene-enhancing drugs from the Riyuan Group, but I just heard you've already signed a contract with someone else, so we'll have to cancel."
"Sister Jinglan, you flatter me. It's just a martial arts competition. I should thank you for helping me break the mental energy restriction in Guannei Province last time."
Zhao Jinglan covered her mouth and chuckled: "It was nothing, no need to thank me. Besides, I did gain something, that advanced mental power manipulation technique benefited me greatly."
Chen Lie nodded and exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhao Jinglan.
Just then, a staff member from the martial arts association arrived.
"Chen Lie, President Xu of the Martial Arts Association wants to see you and is waiting for you in the battle room."
"Okay, I understand."
After Chen Lie nodded, he said to Zhao Jinglan, "Sister Jinglan, I'll head over now."
"Okay, come to Riyue Group for a cup of tea sometime. I'll personally receive you."
"must."
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he went to the battle room at the training ground.
Inside the training ground's battle room, a group of genius team members were waiting outside. Wang Dongting, who was in the lead, had changed into a new outfit. When he saw Chen Lie arrive, he frowned.
"Brother Chen Lie, have you finished your interview?"
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Wei Ranran quickly stepped forward.
"Um."
"You are truly amazing. I never expected you to have reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood and even win the title of Martial Champion."
Wei Ranran couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
She had initially thought that Chen Lie wasn't legendary enough if he wasn't the martial arts champion, but now he had actually won the title.
Isn't this just the Dongchuan version of Ji Lingxuan?
Starting from humble beginnings, they have come all the way to where they are today, winning the championship in martial arts competitions across the province.
Although Chen Lie's martial arts skills are certainly not as good as Ji Lingxuan's, Dongchuan is far inferior to Yunchuan, isn't he?
The resources and environment they enjoy are different, so they are not comparable.
"He's only number one in the Dongchuan Genius Group; he's nothing on the Blue Star as a whole," Chen Lie said.
"Being number one in the province is already quite an achievement."
Wei Ranran couldn't help but say that she greatly admired Chen Lie's composure in the face of both honor and disgrace.
If it were me, and I could win the provincial championship and reach the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, I don't know how proud I would be.
After exchanging a few words with Wei Ranran, Chen Lie entered the battle room.
Upon entering the battle room, Chen Lie immediately saw Xu Tianchuan and Gu Tian.
Gu Tian saw Chen Lie and immediately went up to him: "Chen Lie, you've arrived?"
"Old Gu, Chairman Xu, what brings you here?"
"Don't rush to say that," Gu Tian waved his hand and said, "Chen Lie, I'm asking you, when did you reach the extreme state of Qi and Blood flowing like liquid?"
"About a week ago," Chen Lie said.
"A week ago, I remember your blood and qi level was 2,300 calories before the martial arts competition."
In other words, you reached your peak of Qi and Blood at 2300 calories, which is nearly 500 calories less than Wang Dongting's level.
Despite having limited health and mana, you were still able to defeat Wang Dongting head-on on the battle stage. How much health and mana did you have?
"About 4.5 times."
"Was the martial art used to defeat Wang Dongting super S-rank?"
"I'm not quite sure either; it's a martial art deciphered by extraterrestrial crystals."
However, I suspect it reached SS rank.
"With 4.5 times the strength value, and 2,300 calories of Qi and Blood, he has reached the Qi and Blood Limit. He is also proficient in a martial art that is suspected to be SS-level from outer space."
Despite having a 500-calorie difference in Qi and Blood points, you still managed to defeat Wang Dongting, who was also at the peak of Qi and Blood. Your potential is probably no less than that of Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan Province.
Gu Tian stared at Chen Lie in shock.
He knew without asking that Chen Lie must have had a famous teacher guiding him, otherwise he could not have achieved such success. It should be noted that Chen Lie had only been in the provincial youth genius group for a little over a month.
Moreover, since Chen Lie joined the provincial youth genius team, he has never been asked to give him any martial arts instruction.
"Chen Lie, Chairman Xu has come to see you today to discuss the matters concerning the martial arts champions' meeting of the three provinces of Sichuan three days from now. Let Chairman Xu explain the specifics to you."
After Gu Tian finished speaking, Xu Tianchuan walked up.
"Chen Lie, congratulations on winning the provincial martial arts championship. However, with great power comes great responsibility."
Having enjoyed the glory of being the martial arts champion, one must also bear the corresponding obligations.
Three days later, you will represent Dongchuan Province and meet with the top martial arts champions of Xichuan and Yunchuan Provinces, forming a trio of geniuses for a friendly exchange.
At the meeting of the three provinces' genius groups, you must do your utmost to uphold the honor of the Dongchuan Province's genius group and not allow Dongchuan Province to lose face.
"I understand," Chen Lie nodded.
"Yes, you can claim your first-place prize in the martial arts competition anytime. Use it as soon as possible to improve your strength and prepare for the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament."
Xu Tianchuan gave Chen Lie another instruction, and then let him leave the battle room.
After Chen Lie left, Gu Tian couldn't help but say, "President Xu, in previous years you would always set aside a whole day to instruct the number one martial arts champion, why this time—"
Xu Tianchuan shook his head slightly and said, "His martial arts are almost flawless, and he doesn't need my guidance."
Just like Ji Lingxuan, the martial arts champion of Yunchuan Province, grandmaster-level martial artists have limited perspectives and cannot find any major flaws in her martial arts.
Gu Tian nodded. It seemed that Chen Lie's aptitude was indeed comparable to Ji Lingxuan's.
Chen Lie walked out of the battle room and saw Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the Genius Group Martial Arts Association, talking with a group of Genius Group members.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Jiang Xiaodong immediately walked over.
"Chen Lie, you're finally out!"
"Is there something you need?" Chen Lie asked.
Jiang Xiaodong said, "The martial arts competition is over, and there are many spectators outside who are unwilling to leave."
Among them were dozens of teachers and students from a provincial key high school, who claimed to be your advisor from that school and wanted to contact you.
"Oh? Then I'll go take a look."
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he walked towards the martial arts arena that was surrounded.
Upon entering the venue from backstage, Chen Lie indeed saw over a hundred people remaining.
Beneath the dilapidated battle arena, Qin Siyu had already walked from the audience seats to the stage.
Fang Xiaoxiao, who was next to her, said, "Siyu, the martial arts competition is over, and the instructors have already left. Aren't we leaving yet?"
"No rush, Chen Lie is one of our outstanding classmates."
Now that he has won the provincial martial arts championship, we, as Chen Lie's classmates, should of course congratulate him in person.
31
"Qin Siyu looked backstage and said without glancing to the side."
"So you're just going to wait here like an idiot? Even if you wait until dark, you might not see him."
Chen Lie is currently the top martial arts champion in the entire province, and the number one young martial artist in Dongchuan Province. In ancient times, he would be the top scholar in the province. He's not just in a different circle than us; we're practically from two different worlds.
Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say.
She didn't have much of a relationship with Chen Lie, and they even had some past grievances. If her friend hadn't insisted on meeting Chen Lie in person to congratulate her, she wouldn't have been waiting here.
"You're right, it really is two different worlds."
Qin Siyu sighed and said, "However, if we don't see each other this time, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again."
Hearing Qin Siyu say this, Fang Xiaoxiao stopped talking.
Qin Siyu looked at Feng Shuangshuang, who was waiting not far away. She knew that Feng Shuangshuang and Chen Lie were cousins, so she thought that Chen Lie would definitely come out to meet his cousin Feng Shuangshuang.
At that moment, the voice of a staff member from the Martial Arts Association came through.
"Dear students, the open martial arts competition for all members of the Genius Team has ended. You may leave now."
This is the training ground for the members of the genius team. Now it has been damaged like this by the martial arts competition. We need to repair it as soon as possible so as not to affect the training of the genius team members.
"With you here, our construction team can't make the repairs."
As the staff spoke, they began to arrange for the stranded people to leave.
Soon, the staff members approached the dozens of teachers and students from the provincial key high school and said, "Everyone, the competition is over. You can leave now."
"Friend, we are teachers and students from the alma mater of Chen Lie, the champion of the Genius Group Martial Arts Tournament. We have something to discuss with him."
Your deacon has already gone to inform them; they should be out soon. Could you please let us wait a little longer?
"this----"
Just as the staff member hesitated, Chen Lie walked out from backstage and came to the teachers and students of the Provincial Key High School.
"What's wrong?"
"Chen Lie, you're finally out!"
The speaker was Hong Chengshuo, the tutor of Chen Lie's elite class.
Upon seeing Hong Chengshuo, Chen Lie immediately said, "Professor Hong, did you look for me? What's the matter?"
"Not only me, but Ren Hongguang from your regular class is also here."
After Hong Chengshuo finished speaking, Chen Lie noticed Ren Hongguang among the students.
"Teacher Ren."
"Chen Lie, I have a favor to ask of you this time." Ren Hongguang stepped out from among the students.
Chen Lie remembered that Ren Hongguang had taken good care of him in his previous life, and his feelings for Ren Hongguang far exceeded those for his elite class tutor, Hong Chengshuo. So he said, "Teacher Ren, please feel free to ask if there is anything you need. If it is within my power, I will definitely help you."
Ren Hongguang said with a smile, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it just takes up a little of your time."
The dozens of elite students I brought today all passed the elite student assessment in their first or second year of high school. I'd like you to pick two of them with good aptitude, give them some pointers on martial arts, and share your experience. Could you spare half a day for that?
"Can!"
Before Ren Hongguang could finish speaking, Chen Lie nodded in agreement.
