870 Don’t Delay Me From Bringing Glory to the Country
“That’s great. I stayed in Huaxia for two years before this, but I’ve already forgotten all about this place over the years. I can learn from you tonight.”
Lin Yi smacked his lips. These foreigners were really open-minded.
Seeing Lin Yi and the beautiful reporter chatting and laughing while eating, the four people at Chen Dongzhe’s table were expressionless and abnormally cold.
“Is that Huaxian very powerful?”
The black man who had challenged Lin Yi asked.
His name was Martin, and he was also the leader of the four of them. Be it fighting alone or surviving in the wilderness, he could be said to be an expert in either field.
“He’s indeed quite powerful. He had sent my disciple flying with a kick before this.”
Martin glanced at Li Sheng. He didn’t know much about him, so he didn’t take this matter to heart.
“What about you? If you fight him, can you beat him?”
“Oh my God, even you only have 50% confidence? Is he that strong?”
The two of them used to be comrades. Martin knew Chen Dongzhe’s strength very well.
Although he could not defeat him, his skill level was still very high.
“Before I came back, I was shot in the lungs. My combat ability is much worse than before.” Chen Dongzhe said.
“Otherwise. I’d have kicked him to death.”
“I understand,” Martin said.
“It’s a pity that according to the program rules, we can’t do it here. Otherwise, I would have already gone up to give it a try.”
“Seems like these people have been living in peace for too long, they don’t know there are still places outside where war rages on.”
Martin’s companion, another foreigner, Brown said.
“Who knows,” Martin shrugged, “I think it was the rules that saved him. Otherwise, he would already be begging on his knees.”
“Even though we technically can’t do anything now, we can do something to him in the dark,” Li Sheng said.
“What did you come up with this time?”
“At night, we can disguise ourselves and sneak into his room. Then, we can teach him a lesson,” Li Sheng said.
“Even if he outs us to the production team, no one will be able to prove that we did it because we’re covering our faces. It’s fine as long as we don’t admit it.”
“We could give it a try.”
On the other side of the restaurant, Li Jiani and Huang Yunhang, who were waiting, also witnessed the conflict between Lin Yi, Chen Dongzhe, and the others.
However, on the day of the registration, they were both specially invited and did not know about the grudge between the two of them.
“Look, what did I say? With his arrogant personality, he’ll definitely make enemies. We were just a little late, but he already had a conflict with someone else. If it weren’t for the program’s rules, he would probably have already been sent to the emergency room,” Huang Yunhang said.
“That’s his personality. We can’t do anything about it,” Li Jiani said.
“After all, he was invited by the director himself. He’s quite skilled. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to break down so much information just now.”
“Do you think he has an affair with that female director and was dragged into this?” Huang Yunhang asked.
“Like he said, it’s a TV show, after all. The ratings are the most important thing.”
Li Jiani stopped talking. “That might be the case, but that’s not what we should focus on. We’re simply using each other. If he’s really as bad as you think, it won’t be too late for us to part ways.”
“In any case, I won’t help him when he gets beaten up,” Huang Yunhang said. “I don’t have time to clean up his mess.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. There’s an empty seat. Let’s go eat.”
The small conflict in the restaurant quickly subsided. The people inside continued to eat and discuss what to do after landing on the island.
“Mr. Lin, are you full? I think we can go somewhere else to chat,” the beautiful reporter said seductively.
“I think it’s about time, too.”
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Lin Yi’s phone rang.
Originally, he thought that it was a call from Ji Qingyan, but she did not expect it to be from Yan Ci.
“Do you have time? Come to my room. I have something to discuss with you.”
“Something came up. I’m working on the details for after we land on the island. I’ll be there in two hours.”
“Aren’t you eating in the restaurant?” Ci Yan said, “Christine is a reporter from ABC TV. What do you have to discuss with her?”
“Uh, can you see me?”
“I’ve been looking at you since a long time ago.”
“Wait for me for two hours. I’ll look for you after I deal with this foreigner,” Lin Yi said. “It should be able to wait.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, and don’t come back sick.”
“Damn it, can’t you say something nicer?”
“Okay, hurry up and come. I’m at 6003. There’s something I need to tell you,” Yan Ci said.
“Alright, I’ll head over now.”
“Beauty, I have something to deal with. Let’s talk about the soul-seeking later.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
He got up and left the table, quickly arriving at Room 6003.
Soon, Yan Ci came to open the door. She was still wearing the same work uniform as before. There was a half-eaten lunch box on the table which should have been her work meal.
“Why are you looking for me?” Lin Yi said, “Don’t tell me you want to stop me from bringing glory to the country.”
“You’ll be bringing enough glory to the country by being the first man to reach the summit.”
“Then why are you looking for me?”
Yan Ci shrugged. “Actually, I don’t know what’s going on. The boss called me just now and asked me to find a few capable people to have a meeting in the conference room. I couldn’t think of anyone else, so I called you over.”
“What the hell is he planning?”
“I don’t know. Maybe he’s trying to get a good result,” Yan Ci said.
“After all, we’re the hosts. If we don’t get first place, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?”
“I knew there was something fishy going on.”
“Who cares if it’s scripted or not? In short, this is beneficial to you. There’s no reason not to take advantage of it.”
Lin Yi glanced at Yan Ci. “Yes, you’re right. It’s a waste not to take advantage of this.”
“Be serious.” Yan Ci stood up and pushed Lin Yi out of the door. “You’re always fooling around.”
“Alright, let’s talk tonight.”
Yan Ci rolled his eyes at Lin Yi, but he didn’t say anything.
Under Yan Ci’s lead, the two of them arrived at a small conference room upstairs.
There were three people sitting inside. The person sitting on either side were younger, in their thirties. The person sitting in the middle was in his fifties, judging from his hairstyle.
After all, it’s hard to grow a Mediterranean hairstyle before reaching fifty years old.
“The people sitting on both sides were the assistant directors of this show. Their names were Zhu Rui and Sun Liang. The one in the middle is our deputy station head, Wu Wenshu.
“Little Yan, is this the person you found?” Wu Wenshu asked.
“Yes, his name is Lin Yi. He’s quite skilled.”
“Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with his physique?”
