If Chen Haoxuan were to invest, he would invest in fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other plants because the soil in Chen Family Village is very fertile, allowing for significant savings on fertilizer costs. If many fruit trees and aesthetically pleasing plants were planted, Chen Family Village would become a beautiful paradise.
In the afternoon, Chen Haoxuan returned home for dinner. He saw a news report on television about many Karate studios closing overnight. The reason was that apprentices believed Karate was useless; compared to true masters, they couldn't even withstand a single move. They questioned the value of learning such skills while having to pay for it. Because of this mindset, they felt deceived by the Karate studios and withdrew en masse.
The only fate for a Karate studio without apprentices is closure. If Chen Haoxuan understood why this was happening, he would be quite foolish. He never expected to create such an impact. However, to be honest, Chen Haoxuan did not think Karate was a particularly impressive martial art; he believed even military boxing was more effective. Those who excelled in Karate could take on several opponents, but they were merely physically agile. Otherwise, Chen Haoxuan and his companions wouldn't have been able to defeat such skilled Karate practitioners so easily.
Chen Haoxuan did not want to return to New City for the time being; he wanted to train Lin Hao and the others well for a while. The stronger Lin Hao and his team became, the safer Chen Haoxuan felt.
Many people thought that having so many security personnel was a waste of money, believing that society wasn't that dangerous. Others might not see it, but Chen Haoxuan could; he had encountered many dangerous situations in New City. Since he had the money, spending it on safety was worth it.
Like a teacher, Chen Haoxuan moved his largest computer into Lin Hao's dormitory to help them learn about human anatomy, which would greatly benefit their martial arts journey.
On the morning of the 12th, Chen Haoxuan was teaching basic medical skills in Lin Hao's dormitory when suddenly his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. Curiously, he stepped outside and answered the call: "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, I am Zhou Jingqi, the host of Shuanghu TV's Talent Show. May I speak with Mr. Chen Haoxuan?" A pleasant voice came from the other end.
"This is he. What can I do for you?" Chen Haoxuan asked curiously. He couldn't understand why a TV host would be calling him; did they want him to perform? Did they think he needed that little performance fee?
"Hello, Mr. Chen Haoxuan. There is a girl named Meilin Huang whom you know, right?"
"I know her! What happened?"
"She will be performing piano on Shuanghu TV's Talent Show this Sunday, October 14th. We learned that you are her teacher and she really wants to see you. Would you be able to join our program and surprise Meilin Huang?"
"Speaking of which, she lives in New City. It takes me less than half an hour to drive there. If she misses me and calls, I will go see her! Why does she have to go on a TV show to see me?" Chen Haoxuan said.
"She has another dream, which is to promote the songs you taught her to play. This is what she told me. If you have nothing to do on Sunday, just come over! I can see that Meilin Huang really likes you. By the way, we will reimburse your round-trip travel expenses."
"Sunday? What time?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
"Sunday at 8 PM. Our show is live."
"Alright! For Meilin Huang, I will be there at 8 PM on Sunday."
"Mr. Chen Haoxuan, could you arrive a few hours earlier? Or even a day in advance would work. We can discuss how to arrange a surprise for Meilin Huang when you get here."
"Okay, I'll arrive on Sunday morning. Is that alright?"
"Of course."
"Is there anything else?"
"No, that's it. Mr. Chen Haoxuan, you must come! We'll be waiting for you. Just call my mobile when you arrive, and I will pick you up."
"Mm, okay. Goodbye." After hanging up the phone, Chen Haoxuan chuckled and said, "This girl Meilin is impressive! She even dares to go on TV. Alright! I'll go see your performance on Sunday."
Chen Haoxuan continued back to Lin Hao and their dormitory to teach them simple medical skills. He taught them how to treat knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and self-first aid techniques.
On the morning of October 13th, Huang Xueyan, who is Meilin Huang's aunt, took Meilin Huang on a train heading to Shuanghu County. Meilin Huang was very excited during the ride.
"Aunt, do you think Brother Xuan will be happy to know I'm on the Talent Show?" Meilin Huang asked her aunt excitedly.
"Of course! He's a billionaire. Although he's skilled in singing and dancing, he never takes on apprentices. Since he taught you, you're his only apprentice. How could he not be happy to see you on the show?" Huang Xueyan replied with a sweet smile.
"I wish Brother Xuan could go with me, but Mom keeps saying he's very busy. I really want to see him. I wonder if he'll be able to watch my performance," Meilin Huang said, her expression filled with longing.
"Don't worry, I have his phone number. I borrowed it from your mom last night. When you perform tomorrow, I'll call him and let him know to watch your performance. I guarantee he will," Huang Xueyan said with a smile.
"Okay, Aunt, you're the best!" Meilin Huang exclaimed happily.
Meilin Huang originally wasn't supposed to come, but she found her aunt, who fully supported her. Her aunt talked to her mother for a long time before her mother finally agreed. It was her aunt who helped her sign up for the Talent Show and informed the Shuanghu TV production team about her situation. After hearing her story, they agreed to her participation.
Typically, production teams do not arrange for performers' friends or family to appear on the show, but Meilin Huang was an exception because her teacher was very famous—more famous than many in the entertainment industry. Additionally, Chen Haoxuan was talented in singing and dancing, so the production team thought that if Chen Haoxuan appeared on their Talent Show, their ratings would surely soar.
To this end, they invited Zhou Jingqi, the female host of the Talent Show, to personally invite Chen Haoxuan to attend. When Chen Haoxuan arrived in Shuanghu County, Zhou Jingqi would even go directly to pick him up to show their respect for him.
