Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

Chapter 272: Mind Shaken_2



Every time he serves as a judge for a competition, if his apprentice happens to be participating, the apprentice always gets a good ranking.

Due to the imperfect competition system in the fitness circle, although Hu Li is often criticized behind his back by many, he has never been penalized, and no one dares to openly speak against him.

Because he is a legitimately certified professional judge, offending him would mean trouble whenever you encounter him as a judge in any competition.

For this reason, many people who want to take shortcuts began to seek him out as a mentor, driving his apprenticeship fees to far exceed the normal level.

So this time, when Huang Jun heard that Hu Li was a judge, he instantly realized why Wang Xiao had the nerve to challenge him earlier.

Because what the other party said wasn't wrong, it's very possible that he would miss out on winning this competition, not only wasting nearly a year of training but also spending one million for nothing. Most importantly, he would disappoint Li Jing and Zhou Shun; the planned gym might be forced to cancel as a result.

"Brother Jun, Brother Jun?"

Seeing the peculiar state of Huang Jun, his companion's expression shifted slightly, immediately shaking his shoulder.

"I'm fine..."

Huang Jun gently pushed away the other's arm, but his eyes, no longer focused, displayed far less vigor than before.

In the distance.

Wang Xiao watched Huang Jun's reaction, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth as he said to his companion:

"Heh, Huang Jun now shouldn't pose a threat to me.

Next, it depends on our master's methods."

Upon hearing this, the companion nodded, congratulating in advance:

"There's not much difference between you and Huang Jun to begin with; everyone's taste and perspective differ, who ranks higher is a matter of personal opinion.

Master will definitely handle it; those judges are all savvy people. In Tianhai, with Master taking charge, there certainly won't be any problems."

...

In the parking lot outside the bar.

People came and went, with many high-end vehicles driving in from the road, attracting the attention of the surrounding passersby.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark long coat stood in the parking lot, her natural aura of authority and presence causing others to inadvertently avoid her gaze.

After surveying the surroundings, she glanced at the time on her watch, a hint of urgency hidden deep within her slightly wrinkled eyes.

"Director Wei?"

Xie Peng, from the organizers, noticed the middle-aged woman standing alone in the open-air parking lot nearby. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly walked over: "Director Wei, why are you here? I didn't see you in the VIP lounge and thought you had already entered early."

Wei Yan glanced back at Xie Peng, then continued to look into the distance, seemingly waiting for someone, with a slight frown as she explained, "I'm waiting for someone; I'll enter later."

Saying that, she seemed to think of something and asked, "Are you starting the event at nine o'clock sharp? If the person hasn't arrived, can you delay the start a little?"

"Delay the start time?"

Xie Peng was taken aback, then looked troubled, "Director Wei, our schedule was set long ago; changing it easily might affect all subsequent arrangements, so your request is indeed..."

"Alright, I understand."

Wei Yan interrupted with a wave and said, "There's still half an hour until the start; they should be able to make it."

Seeing how much she cared about waiting for the person, Xie Peng's eyes shifted slightly. He couldn't help but lean in closer to her and whisper, "Director Wei, does your friend need a front-row seat? Or, if required, I could have the host include an introduction of their identity in the opening remarks..."

"Heh, President Xie, you want to know who the person is, right?"

Before he could finish, a faint, meaningful smile appeared on Wei Yan's stern face as she looked at him, "Why beat around the bush?"

"Director Wei misunderstood; I just want to do my job well." Wei Yan's face was full of warm and friendly smiles, though he was the main organizer of this event, he was very respectful in front of her.

Because he understands her personality, though she is a woman, she is particularly strong-willed, and her style is decisive.

It is exactly because of her personality that she can serve as deputy director in charge of all aspects of sports at the Sports Bureau.

"Actually, it's okay to tell you, letting you know their identity avoids any negligence."

At this time, Wei Yan spoke again, a bit more serious than before, while Xie Peng lowered his head slightly, listening carefully.

"She is a professor at Tianhai University; you can call her Professor Xu."

"A university professor?"

Xie Peng was startled; her answer was completely different from what he had speculated.

As someone who frequently dealt with the Tianhai Sports Bureau, he naturally understood their style.

A mere university professor couldn't possibly warrant such attention from Wei Yan.

Initially, he had thought it might be the head of the Sports Bureau or other officials from relevant departments. At the very least, he assumed it would be a local VIP or entrepreneur, not just a professor.

Even if it were a professor from a prestigious university, it wouldn't suffice.

As confusion arose in his mind, a possibility suddenly flashed through Xie Peng's mind. He was shocked, his eyes widened as he looked at her, trying to lower his voice with wonder, "Director Wei, is the professor the wife of that person...?"

When Xie Peng mentioned "that person," his fingers instinctively pointed upwards.

Wei Yan slightly squinted her eyes at him, filled with deeper meaning: "Seems like President Xie not only has a sharp mind but also knows a lot about our internal affairs."

Seeing she didn't deny it, Xie Peng knew his guess was correct and immediately said urgently, ignoring the other implications in her words: "Director Wei, if that's the case, why didn't you inform me earlier so I could prepare..."

"Why panic over just this? It's only Professor Xu, not Mayor Hu."

Wei Yan gently furrowed her brow, coldly replying: "Professor Xu didn't inform others about her visit, so don't spread it to those media outlets you liaise with, understood?"

Xie Peng asked, "What's the purpose of Professor Xu's visit this time?"

"First, because I took the initiative to invite her; Professor Xu and I have been acquainted for many years. Lately, she's been paying attention to various sports events, which is naturally related to her husband's work."

Wei Yan's eyes remained fixed on the entrance of the parking lot as she continued to explain, "But since she's here, especially attending a sports event with me, it must have received a nod from her family."

As she said this, Wei Yan turned to look into his still-surprised eyes: "So, President Xie, you probably now understand the city's attitude towards this competition, and it should provide some guidance for hosting similar events in Tianhai in the future, right?"

After listening, Xie Peng was pleasantly surprised. He bowed slightly in gratitude: "I'm truly grateful, Director Wei. I had already planned to thank you for supporting our competition with a special dinner reservation; do you have time..."

"Forget the dinner, you know my rules."

Wei Yan bluntly waved her hand in refusal, "Just do your job well and help cultivate the sports atmosphere in Tianhai, and that will be support enough for my work.

But this time, since I've told you Professor Xu's identity, make sure you treat her properly, don't turn a good thing into a bad one."

"Understood, understood. When Professor Xu arrives, we'll ensure we provide the best service, making sure she's satisfied with this competition we've organized."

Xie Peng immediately nodded in agreement and then quickly texted his staff.

Feeling the message wasn't clear enough, he explained briefly to Wei Yan before hurrying back inside, intending to personally oversee the upcoming arrangements.

Seeing this, Wei Yan nodded subtly. She had interacted with Xie Peng several times.

Though he was somewhat scheming, he was earnest in his efforts towards sports events, contributing to the development of Tianhai's sports sector.

That's why she leveraged her connections to invite Xu Yingning, not only giving Xie Peng a chance to make connections but also hoping that Xu Yingning, upon seeing her achievements, might occasionally mention her to her husband.

While pondering alone, her expression shifted slightly, noticing a white Lexus sedan slowly enter the parking lot nearby. Her face broke into a warm smile totally different from before, as she quickly walked over.
