Chapter 114 Contacts

Association of Spiritual Powerful Individuals.

As it was the founding day of the Starlight City Association of Spiritual Abilities, Ji Fuyou naturally had to attend.

The conference had more than 200 participants.

Among them, the Association of Spiritual Abilities has a total of 96 members.

Twenty-four people were invited to attend, including representatives from surrounding associations and state associations.

There are more than 40 civil servants at all levels in Xingguang City Hall.

With the addition of journalists and invited celebrities, the total number of attendees exceeded 260.

The number is not large, but each one can be considered an elite.

Moreover, unlike the last time when Pei Zhaoye opened champagne halfway through the banquet and only the Minister of Administrative Affairs attended, this time, even the Chief Executive Officer of the Starlight City Hall and the Chairman of the Municipal Committee, two big figures standing at the pinnacle of power in Starlight City, were present to celebrate the establishment of the Spiritual Ability Association.

During this period, Su Zhen's election as the first president of the Association of Mental Abilities was a natural progression, with no further changes expected.

There are four vice presidents.

In addition to Zhang Yongsheng and Ji Fuyou, the city hall sent Xu Yan to serve as the vice president, specifically to handle matters related to the city hall and the Association of Mental Abilities.

The military also sent Zhao Yong, a deputy senior-level psychopath.

The order has been issued that each city must form its own special response team. These teams have certain military characteristics, and the military naturally has to make a statement.

Zhao Yong brought several spiritual beings here primarily to obtain official positions within this team.

After the establishment of the Association of Spiritual Powerful People, the banquet stage began.

During this time, many people toasted Su Zhen, who was the president of the association.

but……

Some local tycoons discovered that the top figures, such as the chief executive of the city hall, the chairman of the municipal committee, and Zhao Yong, who had a military background, greeted the relatively unknown vice chairman, Ji Fuyou, first.

It seems that in their minds, even Su Zhen, the president, was ranked behind him.

These few people are one thing, but the key thing is...

Zhang Yongsheng also approached Ji Fuyou with a wine glass in hand: "Mr. Ji is truly a man of few words. It is my fault for being so incompetent and failing to recognize you as a true genius. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

After saying that, he downed the glass of wine, which seemed to carry an apologetic tone, in one gulp.

The drinks were full of bitterness.

I feel incredibly frustrated.

To this day, he still doesn't know why Ji Fuyou, who has always maintained neutrality, suddenly sided with Su Zhen.

They not only sided with Su Zhen, but also became the decisive force.

"President Zhang, you're too kind. We have no grudges between us."

Ji Fuyou Road.

What he said is true.

He and Zhang Yongsheng really had no grudges against each other.

However, he did not say that he chose to support Su Zhen because he felt that Zhang Yongsheng's rise to power might bring him a lot of trouble.

There's only one president on either side; they support whoever they like.

There wasn't much weighing of pros and cons, or deep-seated hatred or life-or-death struggles.

Among the people in the community, Zhang Lin felt somewhat annoyed when she saw Zhang Yongsheng, Ji Fuyou's brother, taking the initiative to toast him.

She had previously thought that once her brother became the president, she would directly assign Ji Fuyou a few tasks, or even have him act as her bodyguard, so that he would understand what the difference in status meant.

Now things are really messed up. His brother didn't get elected president, he's just a vice president like Ji Fuyou, so neither of them has the authority to appoint the other.

The scenario she had imagined naturally fell through.

"Third Brother came all the way from the capital to Xingguang City, but he couldn't even hold a position as chairman."

She pouted.

Unfortunately, her older brother Zhang Haoran didn't like her much. Whenever they met, he would lecture her. She couldn't stand being around him, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Xingguang City.

"Never mind, I'm not a psychic. Whether Fuyou is the vice president this season or not, or even if he will be promoted to president in the future, what does it have to do with me?"

Feeling down, she simply turned and left, wanting to avoid seeing or being bothered by it.

She had no idea whether she had done something wrong.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't listen to the teachings of Zhang Haoran and other relatives.

And leaving family...

No one was obligated to teach her anymore.

……

After a series of important figures toasted Ji Fuyou, two more people walked over from the tables that were almost on the outermost edge.

Under the somewhat surprised gazes of some business people, he went directly to Ji Fuyou, who had become the center of the banquet, and said with enthusiasm and respect: "Chairman Ji, let me toast you."

"Chairman Sun, Chairman Zhang, you've arrived too."

Ji Fuyou stood up and greeted the two of them.

Seeing that Ji Fuyou had actually stood up, the two were flattered: "This founding ceremony has invited many people from all walks of life, and we were fortunate enough to receive an invitation as well, so we came here specifically to broaden our horizons..."

After all, the incident in the neighboring Blue Moon City where a "biochemical laboratory leak" caused some biochemical organisms to escape was actually related to the fog.

Ji Fuyou nodded to the two of them and exchanged a few pleasantries.

"Chairman Ji?"

At this point, the city hall chief executive officer seemed to have received some information from his secretary.

After Sun Bin and his companion finished exchanging pleasantries with Ji Fuyou, he smiled and looked at the two of them: "Are you Chairman Sun and Director Zhang from Flash Entertainment? As a leader in the new culture and new media industry in Xingguang City, Flash Entertainment has done a great job of showcasing the humanistic spirit and outlook of Xingguang City to the outside world. We should provide policy support for such positive and progressive enterprises."

The deputy governor in charge of finance and taxation immediately smiled and nodded: "Actually, we have already included Flash Entertainment in our observation scope. However, we are still carefully considering the specific policy preferences and tax incentives. Given the efficiency of each department, we expect to have results soon."

The chief executive nodded in satisfaction.

These two sentences brought Sun Bin and Zhang He a pleasant surprise.

With these two officials' statements, Flash Entertainment, which had already increased its investment and was poised for significant development, will undoubtedly receive the green light from the government. All the various entities under the city hall's jurisdiction will no longer dare to covet Flash Entertainment in the slightest.

They will be able to concentrate their efforts on developing and transforming Flash Entertainment, shifting its main business from internet celebrity incubation and short dramas to film, television series, and cultural entertainment promotion.

The two men quickly expressed their gratitude to the two governors.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two returned to their respective tables.

As I walked, I felt like my feet were floating on air.

In his mind, he completely overturned the previous expansion strategy.

Expansion requires bold and decisive actions.

As soon as the two sat down, people immediately gathered around.

"Chairman Sun, your company's connections are truly remarkable! In Xingguang City, this is practically a direct line to the highest levels of government! With such connections, why didn't you say so sooner? We'll sign the contract as soon as we get back."

"Chairman Zhang, we've carefully considered the share swap agreement you mentioned earlier, and it's perfectly acceptable to us. How about we go somewhere else to sober up a bit later?"

"Chairman Sun, is Flash Entertainment still accepting investment? We've discussed it and can offer a valuation of 2 billion, and we'll acquire 10% of your company's shares for 20 million!"

Everyone's face was beaming with enthusiasm.

The cooperation project that was originally under negotiation has been given the green light all the way.

Everyone around me is so harmonious and friendly.

Several investment institutions, in particular, are waving their cash, eager to take over the company.

The market value of Flash is increasing at an extremely rapid pace, doubling and tripling.

Both of them knew that this was merely a matter of quick thinking and action; they had gone up to toast Director Ji, whose influence was no less than that of Chairman Su, and...

Director Ji even stood up, which was unusual for him, to respond to their questions.

This kind of attention is something that even the leaders of companies worth tens of billions of dollars don't have.

……

The next day.

Ji Fuyou took a car and headed towards Chiyang City.

Besides Lu Xingchen, who was acting as the driver, his daughter Lu Jianxi was also in the car.

Lu Jianxi and Lu Xingchen are at odds, and Lu Jianxi may even disagree with Lu Xingchen at times, but when it comes to important matters, they can still distinguish what is more important.

This is also a test that Ji Fuyou is giving to Lu Xingchen.

If Lu Xingchen is completely unable to communicate with Lu Jianxi and still chooses to support his daughter to the death, Ji Fuyou will also choose to give up.

They decided to abandon Lu Xingchen altogether.

He can change the person he wants at any time.

Lu Xingchen only had the advantage of being the first to act.

If he truly sacrifices blindly for his daughter, then I respect his fate.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Lu Jianxi is indeed just using her own methods to resist Lu Xingchen's continued martial arts practice, rather than being so willful and capricious that she cannot be communicated with.

In front of this outsider, he sat obediently in the back row the whole way, not daring to make any rash moves.

Of course, the Golden Flash Phantom, which sold for a total of 800 million, also had a certain effect.

Chiyang City and Xingguang City are almost adjacent to each other.

When Ji Fuyou first went to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Ability Association, he always went to the Chiyang City High-speed Railway Station to catch the train.

It's only about 20 kilometers from Jiangtao Pavilion to the Chuzhou Martial Arts Association.

In just over 40 minutes, the vehicle stopped at the Martial Arts Association.

Compared to the Association of Mental Abilities, the Martial Arts Association has a much larger number of martial artists.

Throughout Chu Prefecture, there are at least 30,000 to 50,000 martial artists who have obtained beginner or intermediate certificates, if not 100,000 or 80,000.

In this situation, there are quite a few martial artists coming and going from the Chuzhou Martial Arts Association, making it difficult to even find a parking space.

but……

"Go to Zhengwu Tower."

Ji Fuyou gave an explanation.

"Zhengwu Tower?"

Lu Xingchen was taken aback, but did not ask any further questions. He quickly drove the car towards the inner road.

Before long, a railing blocked their way.

Someone from the nearby security booth quickly ran over: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Ji?"

"it's me."

"Okay, please come in."

As they were speaking, the railing was quickly raised.

This made Lu Jianxi, who was behind, feel a little strange.

Wasn't it supposed to be a martial arts certificate exam?
Shouldn't this kind of assessment be done in the first few buildings?

She had her doubts, but she didn't ask any further questions.

The vehicle traveled for a short while before stopping in front of a courtyard consisting of two low-rise buildings of five or six stories and a large training ground.

Several people were already waiting here.

One of them was Guan Yue.

Advanced martial artist.

"Mr. Ji."

Guan Yue greeted him with a smile, and introduced a man in his thirties next to him: "Let me introduce you. This is Liu Zhixuan, the president of the State Martial Arts Association, who obtained the title of Senior Martial Artist two years ago and whose physique value has exceeded 25."
