Chapter 85: Chapter 80 - Not as Good as Chen Yun

Evening.

The professional dart athlete performance Bai Shi mentioned began as scheduled.

People from all walks of life gathered in the experience hall, all smiling and assembling on the first floor.

Many dart athletes, under the guidance of the staff, were stationed at professional dart machines in various corners of the first floor to commence their dart-throwing performances.

This arrangement made it convenient for the invitees spread throughout the corners of the first floor to observe.

In a corner of the first-floor hall, Chen Yun and the three others sat quietly, with Sun Huwen and Jiang Anping each holding a small plate of sushi.

This was the food carried around by the waiters wandering the first floor, not just sushi. Guests could take it directly from the waiters, and if it wasn’t enough, they could ask the waiters to fetch more from the fourth-floor restaurant.

They got two portions for Bai Shi and Chen Yun as well.

However, Chen Yun declined, giving his portion to Bai Shi.

They watched the nearest dart athlete perform from a not too distant spot.

The athlete, standing in front of the dart machine, threw the darts with an elegant, professional posture, scoring well with almost every throw.

Many distinguished-looking spectators around laughed and showered praises on the young athlete, who blushed and shyly scratched his head.

The atmosphere was generally harmonious.

The athletes invited and the many wealthy businessmen, however, were getting along splendidly.

Everyone was quite cultured, even the nouveau riche sporting gold chains were silently watching without creating any of the stereotypical, silly novel scenarios.

Some of the businessmen even tried their hand at darts, learning from the athletes and naturally struck up conversations about potential endorsement collaborations.

As for the nearby athlete’s dart performance,

Bai Shi kept his head down, eating without paying much attention.

Sun Huwen laughed as she stuffed sushi into Bai Shi’s mouth, also not paying much attention.

Chen Yun was disinterested in the performance and was lost in thought, wondering if Bai jin back home was feeling bored by herself.

Jiang Anping, on the other hand, watched the athlete’s performance for a while and then very seriously nodded and said, "Not as good as Chen Yun."

She was genuinely analyzing the performance.

She realized that the athlete’s stance and the angle of release, compared to what Chen Yun had taught him, were almost entirely wrong.

So Jiang Anping was just honestly sharing her opinion.

Her evaluation was that he was not as good as Chen Yun, and by quite a margin.

Fortunately, her voice wasn’t loud.

Only the three people beside her heard, preventing those around from hearing this straightforward and honest comment. The three beside her looked at her with a helpless smile.

"Why are you looking at me? I’m being serious," said Jiang Anping, tilting her head and a flicker of confusion crossing her calm face.

The other three chuckled lightly and didn’t say much more.

Before long.

The dart athlete’s performance ended, and the staff of the experience hall began leading everyone to the third floor to view a song and dance performance in the mini-opera house.

There was also a banquet starting on the fourth floor at eight.

It had to be said, the arrangements were quite orderly.

Especially during the casual strolling at the banquet on the fourth floor, Chen Yun realized why the rich second generation had invited so many people to play.

It was clear to see.

Groups of men in suits clustered in twos and threes.

They talked about everything from emission issues at the chemical plant in the west of town to when a certain plot of land in the east could be approved. From tourism development in the north to new subway line planning in the south...

In short, it was a feast for networking.

Many businesspeople there made friends, and numerous big projects worth several hundred million came to fruition amidst the casual chat.

At such a banquet, not many could truly focus on enjoying the food anymore.

Even the invited athletes and celebrities were actively seeking sponsors to discuss various potential business collaborations, with only Chen Yun and his three companions solely focused on having a good time.

The banquet ended at nine thirty.

Chen Yun and his companions left the place feeling refreshed and lighthearted.

And just as Chen Yun and the others were preparing to leave, they finally met the owner of the place.

This young talent, in his early thirties, wore a casual suit designed by an international top designer paired with a tasteful, non-ostentatious branded white shirt. His cuffs were slightly rolled up, revealing an air of casualness and nonchalance just right.

He held two glass bottles in his hands, seemingly having stood at the door waiting for some time.

He didn’t appear to be a brash second-generation heir at all.

"Brother Bai, not going to play some more?"

At the entrance of the experience hall, the young heir flashed a friendly smile, looking towards the four people who were ready to leave.

"Let’s go, it’s already past nine in the evening, we still need to hurry and drive the two ladies home."

Bai Shi smiled at the second-generation heir standing before him, indicating that he really wasn’t planning to play anymore.

"Brother Bai, you must take these two bottles of Snake Wine. I know you love drinking, and these are on the protected list, tough to get your hands on."

The young heir whispered in Bai Shi’s ear and then passed him the two glass bottles he was holding, with snakes, their entrails partially removed, floating up and down inside.

"Brother Bai’s friends are my friends. Call me if there’s anything you need."

After saying this to Bai Shi, the young heir then looked at the three people next to Bai Shi, pulling out his business card and handing it to Chen Yun, Jiang Anping, and Sun Huwen.

Chen Yun took the business card and looked at it.

Cui Bingsheng, General Manager of Shudi Construction Group.

This was a large private construction company he had heard of, which seemed to be among the top ten in Shu Province and even contracted some related projects overseas.

"Well, Brother Bai, and friends, I hope you’ll come and have fun again in the future. This dart throwing experience hall is definitely the most high-end regular leisure club in Shucheng."

Cui Bingsheng said with a smile, exchanging pleasantries with everyone.

Bai Shi responded with a few polite words, then led the group away.

...

On the drive home.

The front seats were still buzzing with affectionate chatter.

The back seats, where Chen Yun and Jiang Anping sat, were no longer as silent as before.

Every once in a while,

Jiang Anping would suddenly grip the Souvenir dart brought back from the dart throwing experience hall, asking Chen Yun whether a certain way of exerting force could be further improved, like a student eagerly seeking knowledge.

In response,

Chen Yun would casually give a few pointers.

Before long, the car arrived at the entrance of the residential complex where they had picked up the two women. Jiang Anping was staying with Sun Huwen tonight, so there was no need for an extra trip.

The two girls got out of the car.

Sun Huwen gave a hearty farewell to Bai Shi and Chen Yun, her face beaming with a youthful smile.

Jiang Anping clutched the dart in her hand, sizing it up for a moment, then said to Chen Yun in the car, "Thanks for the guidance. Next time we meet, I’ll buy you dinner."

As always, she was concise and to the point.

Chen Yun smiled and nodded his head.

Soon after, the Cadillac returned to Mingwang New Village through the night.

While parking the car,

Bai Shi chuckled and said, "That Cui Bingsheng has some clout in Shu. If you ever need to use him for something, just go ahead and ask."

"People owe you a favor, not me. Besides, if I need something, why would I go to him when I could come to you?"

Chen Yun helplessly glanced at Bai Shi and nonchalantly tossed the business card from Cui Bingsheng onto the dashboard in front of them.

He didn’t want to get entangled in the complex social network of social favors and connections. He wanted to focus on training and researching, constantly striving for transcendence.

If there ever was a need to utilize social resources to achieve a goal, targeting Bai Shi, a familiar source, would do the job.

"That’s fine."

"Here, take one of these bottles of Snake Wine."

With a smile, Bai Shi took out one of the bottles of Snake Wine that Cui Bingsheng had given him and handed it to Chen Yun.
