CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 328: THE LIU FAMILY’S ANXIETY

Li Jing heard the words "International Fitness Competition" and felt a tinge of surprise.

His gaze fell on Liu Dazhi, who had just finished a phone call and looked anxious and serious.

Before Li Jing could ask, Liu Dazhi quickly stood up and looked apologetically at Elder Shi and Li Jing, saying, "I’m really sorry, but I have an urgent matter to attend to and must leave early."

Elder Shi immediately showed concern and asked, "Dazhi, what’s going on?"

Liu Dazhi sighed helplessly: "Currently, several cities in the country are vying for the hosting rights of the International Fitness Competition, among which Hang City stands out.

Hang City has a large number of fitness enthusiasts, and I’ve heard they have invited many fitness influencers and former award-winning fitness athletes to create buzz.

If we don’t find someone to speak for us today, this International Fitness Competition will completely miss Hai City."

At this, he looked at Elder Shi and continued with bitterness: "Elder, you know that if this doesn’t work out, our Liu Family will truly be in a desperate situation, hard to recover from.

I need to rush back and find more people to help."

Elder Shi listened, furrowing his brow, understanding Liu Dazhi’s predicament and said thoughtfully, "Alright, you go back and handle it. If there’s anything else I can do to help, just let me know."

Li Jing listened to their conversation, contemplating quietly.

Just as Liu Dazhi was about to turn and leave, Li Jing finally spoke:

"President Liu, are you saying you hope the International Fitness Competition can be hosted in Hai City, right?"

Liu Dazhi heard Li Jing’s voice, feeling somewhat surprised but still turned his head to explain succinctly:

"That’s correct. Our Liu Family is in charge of this matter, and securing the event for Hai City would be beneficial, bringing a lot of traffic and fame."

He initially wanted to ask Li Jing for help but reconsidered, thinking that this international event was significant and Li Jing likely didn’t have the right connections, so he swallowed his words, bid farewell, and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Li Jing quickly called him: "Regarding the International Fitness Competition, I know some relevant people. How about I ask around for you?"

As soon as Li Jing spoke, the room fell silent, and everyone looked surprised.

Liu Dazhi was filled with joy and hope, as if grabbing the last straw of rescue.

He promptly held Li Jing’s hand and eagerly asked, "President Li, can you really contact relevant people? This is crucial to our Liu Family’s fate!

If you can help, our Liu Family will owe you a huge favor, and if you need anything in the future, just say it, and we’ll do our utmost!"

Elder Shi was also surprised and couldn’t help but ask, "President Li, do you really know people?"

Li Jing nodded and said, "I can give it a try."

Shi Yang, on the other side, slightly frowned. Having participated in Elder Shi and Liu Dazhi’s discussion earlier, she knew the complexity and significance of the matter and said:

"This matter involves international competitions and is no trivial matter. If President Li is confident he can handle it, then great;

but if it’s just a possibility, don’t waste Uncle Liu’s time."

As soon as Shi Yang finished speaking, Elder Shi’s face darkened, turning to scold sternly: "Yangyang, don’t talk nonsense!

It’s rare for President Li to be willing to help, you’re really thoughtless; quickly apologize!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang pouted, looking at Li Jing with a face full of grievance.

Li Jing waved his hand, not intending to have her apologize, and said:

"No problem, I’ll call my friend and ask first. We’ll soon know if it’s doable, and if it isn’t, it also won’t waste President Liu’s time."

Liu Dazhi quickly nodded, full of anticipation, saying "Good, good," while returning to his seat and watching Li Jing closely.

Li Jing contemplated for a moment, initially thinking of calling Zhou Shun, but reconsidering that Zhou Shun’s connections might not be strong enough, he dialed Huang Jun instead.

Though Huang Jun’s network wasn’t as good as Zhou Shun’s, he was the champion of the last competition and knew people from the event side.

Over the phone, after Huang Jun understood the situation, he pondered for a bit before replying: "Brother Jing, I can contact Great Year, and then you can call him. He should have the widest resources in the country."

Upon hearing "Great Year," Li Jing was taken aback, recalling the opening scene of Tianhai Fitness Center.

At that time, a senior from the domestic fitness circle had come to show support with a disciple, later openly supporting online, and it was indeed Great Year.

Although they only met once, they exchanged online several times afterward.

Li Jing knew he was one of the first to achieve significant success in the professional fitness field locally, so having resources in the competition was normal.

Thus, Li Jing nodded in agreement and then called Great Year.

When Great Year saw it was a call from Li Jing, he was very polite.

Upon learning Li Jing wanted his help in recommending Hai City for this year’s competition, Great Year immediately replied: "President Li, it’s not difficult. I’ll ask a friend who’s into this."

Li Jing quickly expressed his thanks.

Beside him, Liu Dazhi couldn’t help but whisper: "Hang City is already trying. Will we face pressure?"
