Hearing that Liu Chaowu was not here for revenge, Yue Hui's expression finally softened.
Yue Hui covered the phone and approached Jiang Chen, conveying Liu Chaowu's intentions. Jiang Chen happened to have 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. Liu Chaowu thanked her and then turned to Jiang Chen to express his purpose for coming.
"Mr. Jiang, today I was blind to your greatness and may have offended you; I hope you can forgive me."
"I came to find you for two reasons: first, to express my admiration for you; second, I would like 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. Even for a martial arts event, he had little interest, let alone this kind of performance-based Martial Arts Competition.
"Mr. Jiang, I know that with your current level of cultivation, you may look down on such competitions, but participating in such a grand event would not harm you. With your strength, you are even qualified 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. However, since you mentioned it, I might as well go take a look," Jiang Chen suddenly changed his mind upon hearing Liu Chaowu's words.
In the future, Earth would definitely enter an era of universal cultivation. After thinking it over, Jiang Chen felt that attending the Martial Arts Competition might be beneficial; he might discover some promising talents for 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 celebrities; it needed young people skilled in martial arts to participate.
Thus, Jiang Chen decided it wouldn't hurt to check out 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 judge qualification with the martial arts association right away," Liu Chaowu said excitedly.
"No need for that; just note down my phone number. Notify me three days before the Martial Arts Competition. If I'm free, I'll come by," Jiang Chen replied.
"Alright," Liu Chaowu nodded. "Then Mr. Jiang, I won't disturb you any longer; I'll take my leave."
After Liu Chaowu left, Yue Hui said, "Jiang Chen, if you want to interact more with people in official circles, with your level of skill, you could become the President of our Huaxia Martial Arts Association. That position is a good protective 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 could not go against a country.
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 even regard its rules; let alone those on Earth.
Suddenly, Yue Hui's phone rang again. Upon seeing the caller ID, she gestured 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, 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 interested in big stars. Instead of feeling displeased by Jiang Chen's attitude, Yue Hui found a sense of balance in it. She knew her own qualities were quite good, yet Jiang Chen didn't seem to be attracted to her at all. If Lin Bingbing couldn't pique his interest, it was only natural that he wouldn't feel any chemistry with her either.
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 very cold.
Jiang Chen recognized Lin Bingbing; she was a big star who had acted in many dramas. Seeing her in person, he found she was 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 while pointing at Jiang Chen.
"Hello!" Jiang Chen greeted her lightly 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 a skilled fighter. However, his calm demeanor surprised her. Perhaps it was due to Yue Hui's introduction or his natural personality; Lin Bingbing didn't act aloof 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 reaching out first deserved respect, so he stood up and shook hands with Lin Bingbing. Her hand was soft and smooth, feeling pleasant to hold. If it had been someone else, he might have lingered longer, but Jiang Chen simply held her hand briefly before letting go. This made Lin Bingbing glance at him curiously.
After adding another seat and some tea utensils, the three settled down again.
"Bingbing, what kind of expert are you looking for? What’s going on?" 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 support them. I can't refuse but I'm a bit worried, so I wanted to ask for a skilled bodyguard."
"This underground boxing match is just illegal fighting, right? A beautiful girl like you going there does raise concerns; it's wise to hire a bodyguard," Yue Hui remarked before turning to Jiang Chen. "Mr. Jiang, do you have time? How about accompanying her tomorrow?"
"I happen to be free tomorrow; I can go with her," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. With others managing company affairs for him, he had no worries and could easily spare the time for Yue Hui.
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 also grasped Lin Bingbing's thoughts and began recounting the events from the last Songnan Martial Arts competition. After hearing this, Lin Bingbing felt incredulous yet delighted. Knowing that Jiang Chen possessed such strength made her feel reassured about going to 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.
