Hearing that Liu Chaowu was not here for revenge, Yue Hui's expression finally softened. She covered the phone and approached Jiang Chen, conveying Liu Chaowu's intentions. Jiang Chen had time tonight and did not refuse.
Half an hour later, Liu Chaowu arrived. This time, when he saw Jiang Chen, he had no airs about him and appeared somewhat reserved in front of Jiang Chen.
"Old Liu, please have a seat," Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.
Liu Chaowu sat down, and Yue Hui poured him a cup of tea. After thanking her, he turned to Jiang Chen to express his purpose for coming.
"Mr. Jiang, today I was blind to your greatness and I apologize for any offense caused. I hope you can forgive me."
"I came to express my admiration for you and to invite you to be a judge at this year's Chinese Martial Arts Competition. I wonder if Mr. Jiang would be interested?"
"Not interested," Jiang Chen replied almost immediately without hesitation. Even the Martial Arts Conference did not pique his interest, let alone this kind of performance-based Martial Arts Competition.
"Mr. Jiang, I understand that with your current level of skill, you may look down upon such competitions. However, participating in such a grand event would not harm you. With your abilities, you would even qualify to be the President of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association," Liu Chaowu urged again.
"The position of President of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association is hardly something I would care about. But since you mention it, I might as well go and take a look," Jiang Chen said, suddenly changing his mind.
In the future on Earth, there would certainly be an era of universal cultivation. After thinking it over, Jiang Chen felt that attending the Martial Arts Competition could be beneficial; he might discover some promising talents in cultivation.
Moreover, at that moment, Jiang Chen thought long-term. He was preparing to shoot a movie about the revival of Spiritual Energy and universal cultivation. Such a film could not rely solely on stars; it needed young people who knew martial arts to participate.
Thus, Jiang Chen changed his mind; it wouldn't hurt to attend this year's Martial Arts Competition when he had time.
Seeing that Jiang Chen agreed, Liu Chaowu was overjoyed.
"Mr. Jiang, I'll apply for your qualification as a judge with the Martial Arts Association right away," Liu Chaowu said excitedly.
"There’s no need to be a judge; just note down my phone number. Notify me three days before the Martial Arts Competition, and if I'm free, I'll come by to take a look," Jiang Chen replied.
"Alright," Liu Chaowu nodded. "Then Mr. Jiang, I won’t disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now."
After Liu Chaowu left, Yue Hui said, "Jiang Chen, if you want to connect more with officials, given your level of skill, you could become the President of our Huaxia Martial Arts Association. That position would serve as a good shield; you might want to consider it."
"Hehe, I'm not considering that," Jiang Chen chuckled; he had his own plans.
Yue Hui was thinking from an ordinary person's perspective. Indeed, Jiang Chen's current strength was formidable and should gain recognition from officials; after all, no matter how strong one was, they couldn't go against a nation.
However, Yue Hui did not know Jiang Chen's true background. He had traversed the Xiu Xian World for thousands of years and did not regard its rules highly; let alone those on Earth.
Suddenly, Yue Hui's phone rang again. Upon seeing the caller ID, she signaled to Jiang Chen and quickly answered the call.
The other party didn't seem to understand what was said. Yue Hui smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I happen to have a skilled friend here. Come over, and I'll introduce you."
After hanging up the phone, Yue Hui sent a location and said to Jiang Chen, "A friend of mine, the big star Lin Bingbing. I'll introduce you!"
She expected Jiang Chen to be excited, but to her surprise, he merely smiled faintly and replied, "Alright." It made sense; someone like Jiang Chen didn't seem to have much interest in celebrities. Instead of feeling displeased by Jiang Chen's attitude, Yue Hui found a sense of balance in it. She understood that she herself had considerable qualities, yet Jiang Chen didn't seem to be attracted to her either. If even a big star like Lin Bingbing couldn't pique his interest, it was only natural that he wouldn't feel any spark with her.
Half an hour later, there was a knock at the door—Lin Bingbing had arrived.
"Bingbing, come in quickly! Don't freeze!" Opening the door, Yue Hui hurriedly pulled Lin Bingbing inside, as the weather was still quite cold.
Jiang Chen recognized Lin Bingbing; she was a big star who had acted in numerous dramas. Seeing her in person, he found her even more beautiful than on screen. However, he wasn't surprised or excited.
"Bingbing, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Chen, the chairman of Hua Sheng Group," Yue Hui said as she pointed at Jiang Chen.
"Hello!" Jiang Chen greeted her casually without getting up from his seat.
Lin Bingbing noticed that Jiang Chen was just a young man and frowned slightly. He looked too young to be considered a master.
However, Jiang Chen's calm demeanor surprised Lin Bingbing. Perhaps it was due to Yue Hui's introduction or his own personality; either way, Lin Bingbing didn't put on airs and extended her hand instead. "Director Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
This gesture left a good impression on Jiang Chen. A beautiful woman extending her hand deserved respect, so he stood up and shook hands with Lin Bingbing. Her hand was soft and smooth; it felt pleasant to hold. If it had been someone else, they might have hesitated to let go. But Jiang Chen simply held her hand briefly before releasing it, which caught Lin Bingbing's attention.
After adding another seat and some tea utensils, the three settled back down.
"Bingbing, what exactly do you need from a master?" Yue Hui asked.
"Well," Lin Bingbing began, "my best friend's boyfriend mentioned that there's an Underground Boxing Match in Jiang City tomorrow. It's hosted by his family, and my friend invited us to show our support. I don't want to refuse but I'm also a bit worried, so I wanted to hire a skilled bodyguard for the event."
"An underground boxing match? Isn't that just illegal fighting? With how beautiful you are, it's definitely concerning for you to go alone; hiring a bodyguard is wise," Yue Hui remarked before turning to Jiang Chen. "Mr. Jiang, do you have time? Would you accompany her tomorrow?"
"I happen to be free tomorrow; I'll go with you," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. With others managing company affairs for him, he had no worries and certainly had the time to give Yue Hui face.
Lin Bingbing listened without any surprise; instead, she looked at Jiang Chen with suspicion.
Jiang Chen understood that she doubted his abilities—this was normal given his youth.
Yue Hui recognized Lin Bingbing's thoughts as well and began recounting the events from the last Songnan Martial Arts competition. After hearing about it, Lin Bingbing felt incredulous yet delighted. With Jiang Chen's skills, she wouldn't have to worry about trouble in Jiang City.
"Alright then, it's getting late; I won't disturb you any longer. Mr. Jiang, I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning. Huihui, I'm leaving now," Lin Bingbing said happily before bidding them farewell.
