"Since Ms. An likes it, I will help you keep an eye out for other treasures in the future."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Gu." Ms. An replied with a slight smile.
"I don't know how long Ms. An will stay in China this time. I happen to be free during this time and can accompany you to visit the places of interest in Jiangcheng."
When An Huixian heard this, she shook her head: "No need, I go to those same places every time I come to China, it's very boring."
"By the way, I know that Ms. An is very interested in Chinese martial arts. It happens that the World Warriors Conference will be held in Jiangcheng in a while. I can arrange the best seats for you."
Gu Beicheng had already investigated An Huixian's preferences. In addition to Chinese culture and antiques, he also liked Chinese martial arts. Therefore, in order to arrange activities that she was interested in, he mentioned the martial arts conference that would be held some time ago.
However, An Huixian didn't show any interest after hearing Gu Beicheng's words.
"I was very interested in this competition in the past few years, but in recent years it has not really attracted much attention, and there are very few truly unique masters."
"Last year, I was in the audience watching the fancy fists and kicks on the stage. I was very bored. I think real martial arts should not be those fancy moves. Every punch and palm should be real kung fu."
"If Ms. An thinks the martial arts competition is boring, what about a private arena competition?"
"Private ring competition?" An Huixian asked curiously, "Is it organized by your Chinese martial arts family?"
"That's right." Gu Beicheng nodded and continued, "Ms. An, I wonder if you have heard of Mr. Lu Tianfeng."
An Huixian nodded and said, "Of course I have. The Lu family is also a famous martial arts family in China. As the leader of the Lu family, Lu Tianfeng, I have heard a little bit about his deeds."
"By the way." She continued to ask, "Mr. Gu, do you know the head of the Lu family?"
"Our Gu family and the Lu family have been family friends since our ancestors. I heard before that Uncle Lu invited a fighting master from the Western Alliance to come to China. Because the opportunity was rare, he wanted to invite familiar families to hold a small competition.
The arena competition allows the masters from each family to compete with each other."
"I wonder who the fighting master you are talking about is?"
"That's Allen Iverson, the five-time fighting championship champion."
Xu Tian, who was not far away, heard Gu Beicheng's words and turned around with interest. He had just watched the video replay of the champion on the field some time ago.
Gu Beicheng also noticed Xu Tian's behavior, turned around and asked, "Mr. Xu, have you heard of Iverson?"
Xu Tian nodded: "Yes, I heard something."
Iverson is definitely a famous figure in the fighting world. He is the target that countless fighters want to surpass. His record of five consecutive championships has not been broken yet.
Many people hope to have the opportunity to compete with him in person, but Iverson rarely appears in public except for international competitions, and he will not participate in small and medium-sized competitions.
Being able to invite him to China and set up an arena to compete, it seems that Lu Tianfeng has some abilities.
As Gu Beichen expected, An Huixian was very interested in Iverson and Lu Tianfeng.
"These two are both well-known figures in the martial arts world. I would really like to see the battle between these two masters." A look of anticipation appeared in An Huixian's eyes, "Mr. Gu, I can watch the Lu family's competition
The arena competition?”
"Of course you can, but Uncle Lu hasn't decided on the candidates yet."
As Gu Beicheng said something, he turned to look at Tang Bingyan as if he suddenly thought of something: "Yanyan, if you happen to have this opportunity, why not let the experts from your Tang family, our Gu family, and Uncle Lu's family compete with each other? How about we compete with the masters from each family?
They all choose a team leader, and then send six experts to compete in the ring."
"Yes, Mr. Gu's proposal is very good." An Huixian immediately expressed her position.
Since she had shown a strong interest, Tang Bingyan, as the host, would not be disappointed, so she nodded and said, "No problem."
Gu Beicheng glanced at Xu Tian calmly and continued: "For the Gu family, I will personally lead the team to select six powerful warriors. If there are no surprises for the Lu family, they should be extraordinary. As for Yanyan and you guys
Let’s just let Mr. Xu be the team leader here.”
"Team leader?" Xu Tian frowned slightly, wondering what kind of wishful thinking Gu Beicheng was planning?
He took the initiative to mention himself and asked himself to lead the team to participate in the ring competition. There must be some conspiracy behind it.
However, Allen Iverson, who had won five consecutive championships, was present, and Xu Tian also wanted to see his strength.
Before Tang Bingyan could express her position, An Huixian asked with some surprise: "Let Mr. Xu lead the team. Does it mean that Mr. Xu also knows martial arts?"
Looking at Xu Tian's appearance, An Huixian couldn't imagine that he knew martial arts.
Hearing this, Gu Beicheng smiled and said: "Ms. An, Mr. Xu is a very powerful warrior. I have seen his skills before, and he is even more powerful than the secret guards of the Tang family."
The reason why Gu Beicheng praised Xu Tian in front of An Huixian naturally had his own purpose. He praised Xu Tian to such an extent that Xu Tian had to be the team leader even if he was reluctant.
"It turns out that Mr. Xu is actually a master."
Ms. An smiled gently, but her expression was a little disapproving.
Xu Tian doesn't seem to have the aura of a martial arts practitioner. Ms. An has been paying attention to the martial arts world for so many years and thinks she can judge people very accurately.
Of course, in front of everyone, she still wanted to give Tang Bingyan some face, and did not show her true inner thoughts.
"Yanyan, I think Mr. Xu is the most suitable candidate. Just let him lead the team."
Gu Beicheng was worried that Tang Bingyan would not let Xu Tian participate in the ring competition, so he deliberately emphasized: "You don't have to worry about his safety. The team leader does not need to go to the ring to compete in person. When the time comes, he only needs to go through the process and give some tips to participate.
Just be a contestant in the arena competition, there won’t be any danger.”
The corners of Gu Beicheng's lips were slightly raised, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
As long as Xu Tian becomes the team leader, changing the rules will not be a matter of just a word from the Lu family?
This time he wanted to force Xu Tianqihu to take the stage.
If this arena competition can be held smoothly, he will not only gain a good impression in front of An Huixian, but also indirectly promote the friendship between the Lu family and An Huixian.
More importantly, he can make Xu Tian make a fool of himself in public in the ring, thereby severely suppressing his arrogance and at the same time destroying the good impression he left on the group's senior management.
Xu Tian's trip to Country Y to buy antiques some time ago earned Xu Tian the recognition of a small number of people in the Tang Group.
There are also some people who will no longer openly oppose him even if they don't think highly of him.
This is what Gu Beicheng doesn't want to see.
He calculated and planned every step of the way, waiting for Xu Tian to jump into the trap he had dug.
Tang Bingyan ignored Gu Beicheng, but turned to Xu Tian and said calmly: "You make your own decision."
