Chapter 43: Chapter 41: Extreme Martial Arts Tournament

Wu Li returned to the hotel and took out his cell phone to deal with the overflowing messages.

Chen Dong: "In wealth, let’s not forget each other!"

Wu Li: "After graduation, I left all the books in my dorm for you, go sell them with signatures."

Chen Dong quickly replied: "Damn, your books are just like new, have you ever written a single word in them?"

Wu Li stopped bothering with this guy and continued replying to others.

Wang Xuedong: "I answered roll call for you in advanced math, but then the teacher called my name again... You figure it out."

Wu Li: "There’s nothing that can’t be solved with a meal of barbecue, and if there is, then two meals should do the trick."

Wang Xuecheng quickly replied: "Three meals!"

Wu Li: "OK."

Wang Xuecheng: "Also, Zhang Jia’er needs your help with something, she came to me asking for a favor, please help her out if you can."

Wu Li was momentarily stunned, then replied: "Alright."

Wang Xuecheng: "Thanks man, but you’re still treating me to the barbecue."

Wu Li: "Shove off."

He scrolled through the screen, found Zhang Jia’er’s WeChat avatar, and saw that she had also sent herself a dozen or so messages.

Wu Li clicked to open them, and the initial messages were all words of blessing, congratulating him on defeating Ren Donglai, then smoothly transitioning to asking when they could have another live stream session together?

"Ah." Wu Li sighed. Because of Wang Xuecheng, he didn’t really want to get too close to Zhang Jia’er, and her obvious ulterior motive also made Wu Li less interested. So after connecting with her once before and repaying the favor she had done for him by recommending someone, Wu Li didn’t want to get too entangled with her.

But since Wang Xuecheng had asked, Wu Li decided to let Zhang Jia’er mooch off him one more time.

"Are you there?" Wu Li asked on WeChat.

"I am!" Zhang Jia’er replied almost instantly.

Zhang Jia’er: "I wanted to ask if you’ll be streaming tonight? Can we co-stream?"

"Streaming at 7 tonight, sure."

"Awesome!!! （throwing flowers）"

"I’ve been too busy these past few days, all sorts of things. Wang Xuecheng just found me and specifically mentioned you," Wu Li replied. He did not intend to hold onto this favor; he would rather pass it to Wang Xuecheng.

Zhang Jia’er: "Yeah, I reached out to him, hoping he could speak to you, because several MCN companies have approached me recently, considering signing with me, but I still lack some popularity, so I wanted to co-stream with you again to boost it."

"Out of all the people I know, you’re the only one who can help me (pitiful)."

"No problem, you’re welcome."

...

At 7 pm, Wu Li began streaming on time, seizing the opportunity to boost his Fan Value during this peak in his popularity.

There were many questions in the comment section, almost all related to his battle with Ren Donglai. Reports of Ren Donglai using banned substances had already emerged, which made netizens more impressed with Wu Li.

"Even with drugs, they couldn’t beat him, what else can be said, Traditional Martial Arts rock!"

"Finally, someone who can put up a fight! (tears)"

"To be honest, the streamer is my junior. Our lineage has remained hidden from the world for over a thousand years, and now someone has insulted our Huaxia Martial Arts, my sect could no longer tolerate it, and so they sent my junior to take action. As for why I did not take action, it’s for the safety of Earth."

"Well then, I’ll lay my cards on the table too, the streamer is my apprentice."

"The streamer is my hubby!!"

...

Chatting with a bunch of ... a bunch of fun netizens and bragging made the time fly. When the number of viewers in the streaming room reached thirty thousand, Zhang Jia’er’s request to co-stream arrived, and Wu Li chose to accept.

"Hello, Wu Li." Zhang Jia’er was wearing a low-cut white strappy dress today, very sexy.

Wu Li responded with a smile, and the two of them began to chat about casual topics. Throughout, there were netizens in the streaming room setting the pace, pushing for a relationship between the two, and Zhang Jia’er’s attitude was quite flirtatious.

Wu Li remained impassive, and when the time was about right, he excused himself and ended the co-stream.

"Everybody’s talking too much, it’s making me shy (shy)"

Zhang Jia’er promptly sent him a WeChat message, Wu Li just laughed and didn’t reply.

...

The next morning, Wu Li headed for the skyscraper where Bo Yuan Media Culture Co., Ltd. was located.

On the fifth floor of the building, Bo Yuan Company had rented the entire level, and Liu Yuanbo was personally waiting for Wu Li at the elevator doors, flanked by two assistants and a lawyer.

"Master!"

As soon as Wu Li stepped out of the elevator, Liu Yuanbo greeted him warmly.

"The contract and the stock share transfer agreement are all ready. This is Lawyer Wang. If you have any questions later, you can consult with him," said Liu Yuanbo in a rush.

Wu Li smiled and nodded as they all walked into Liu Yuanbo’s office together.

The office was elegantly decorated. Although Wu Li didn’t understand much about it, he still felt it was mysteriously high-class.

He noticed that the office walls were adorned with many framed pictures of Liu Yuanbo sparring with various people and saw a piece of calligraphy hung on the wall behind the office desk.

"Treasure of Women?" Wu Li read out instinctively and then turned his head toward Liu Yuanbo with a look of shock.

"Haha!" A female assistant next to Liu Yuanbo laughed with her hand over her mouth.

Liu Yuanbo was also quite embarrassed: "Master, it’s ’As welcoming as returning home.’"

Wu Li: "???" Confused African American face.

"Read it from right to left," Liu Yuanbo whispered.

"Cough." Wu Li coughed awkwardly, realizing that such calligraphy can indeed be easily misunderstood at first glance...

"Master, let’s take a look at the contract," suggested Liu Yuanbo, considerately guiding Wu Li to his desk and letting him sit in his own chair before handing him the contract.

Seeing Liu Yuanbo treating him with such respect, the two assistants and the lawyer looked at Wu Li with a spontaneously increased reverence. Even if Liu Yuanbo was naive and innocent, he was still the chairman of the company; if he showed such respect to someone, others naturally had to figure out how to properly treat Wu Li.

Wu Li read through the contract carefully. It included everything Liu Yuanbo had promised him the other day, and regarding the issue of autonomy, wherever controversies might arise, it was stated: The parties shall negotiate, and the execution may only proceed after the consent of Party B.

Having specially consulted a lawyer online and paid for advice before coming, Wu Li believed the contract was quite fair.

Without hesitation, Wu Li signed the contract.

"Master, this is the stock share transfer agreement," Liu Yuanbo handed another document to Wu Li.

After briefly reviewing it, Wu Li signed his name. Now, he too was a shareholder.

"This is great, from now on we are family!" Liu Yuanbo said with a delighted face.

"Master, let’s now discuss our upcoming promotion plans."

"Sure," Wu Li nodded.

"These two were previously in charge of promoting Bo Yuan Fitness Club on Mo Yin and have some experience in this area. I brought them here to join the discussion," Liu Yuanbo introduced.

"Hello Mr. Wu."

"Good to meet you, Mr. Wu."

The two assistants, both male and female, referred to Wu Li as "Mr. Wu" with keen awareness.

"I’m a ’Mr. Wu’ now, huh? Moving up quickly," Wu Li was amused internally.

"Hello to you too. Do you have any ideas for the upcoming promotion?"

The male assistant nodded and began, "Mr. Wu, we suggest you start by collaborating with some of our fitness coaches to shoot a few videos. Then we can upload them across all the club’s accounts simultaneously. We can discuss the specific content, but it would be best to create a trending topic that combines fitness and combat sports..."

He spoke very professionally.

After the male assistant finished, the female assistant asked, "Mr. Wu, have you heard of the Extreme Martial Arts Tournament?"

Extreme Martial Arts Tournament? The name sounded familiar to Wu Li, and he soon remembered that it was what had been advertised in the brochure he was shown when he had applied for a fight at the sports bureau.

"I know a bit about it, what’s up?" Wu Li inquired.

The female assistant smiled and said, "The Extreme Martial Arts Tournament is about to take place in Qi City, and they’ve been promoting it on Mo Yin too. I think you could definitely sign up to participate under the name of Bo Yuan Boxing Gym and simultaneously promote it on Mo Yin."

"This has several benefits: First, we can use the promotional resources of the Extreme Martial Arts Tournament, which will help us save on expenses. Second, Mr. Wu, you’ve just defeated a formidable opponent using Traditional Martial Arts, and announcing participation in a combat sports competition now would attract wide attention. Third, we get a chance to promote our boxing gym, and if Mr. Wu achieves good results at the tournament, our gym’s reputation will be made."

Wu Li nodded repeatedly, very tempted by the idea, when a system notification popped up:
