After being punched by Li Nan, Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly, "How am I changing the subject?"

Seeing that Chu Ge wasn't joking, Li Nan paused, furrowing her brows, and then started scanning the surroundings.

At a glance, she immediately noticed the problem. Indeed, many students inside the dojo were watching her direction with worried expressions, their eyes filled with concern.

Moreover, in addition to the worry on their faces, Li Nan also noticed anger, suggesting something was definitely wrong.

"Chu Ge, what's going on?" Li Nan furrowed her brows, refocusing on Chu Ge.

Chu Ge didn't respond, so He Junming explained from the side: "It's that Li Zheming again. He just came by and said he's bringing people to challenge us tomorrow."

He Junming was furious inside. Damn, that bastard seriously thought Li Nan's Taekwondo dojo was an easy target? Something you could just mess with whenever you feel like it?

Fine, even if that bastard really has some connections and can bring in some martial arts experts, does it mean that He Junming has no connections and can't find any experts?

What a joke!

If he wanted to, there are countless people he could call upon. But he just didn't want to show off or let others know his true identity, so he lived a low-key life here.

He Junming was now really angry, not only at Li Zheming but also at himself. If his own skills were just a bit stronger, if he could handle things by himself, wouldn't that be great?

Growing up, He Junming particularly disliked being introduced as someone's son, someone's grandson, or He Qing's brother, ugh...

Li Nan rolled her eyes, shaking her head with a mix of disdain and amusement, "I thought it was something serious. Let him come. Anyway, my dad will be back tomorrow. Dealing with him will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

Seeing Li Nan's nonchalance, He Junming continued explaining: "Sister, maybe you didn't hear it clearly. Tomorrow, it's not him coming to challenge us, but his teacher. Didn't you see his arrogant, confident look just now? His teacher's skills are probably very high."

This time, Li Nan paused for a moment, her expression finally becoming more serious.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Nan suddenly relaxed her brows and smiled brightly at Chu Ge, "Chu Ge, would you say that we're friends now?"

Seeing Li Nan's crafty smile, Chu Ge knew what she was thinking. He nodded with a helpless smile, "Barely, I suppose."

Hearing Chu Ge use the word "barely," Li Nan's expression showed a hint of playful resentment, but she immediately laughed heartily and said, "Well... with your generosity, if a friend is in trouble, you'd definitely help, right? Tomorrow, our dojo will be relying on you, okay?"

"You really think highly of me." Chu Ge shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.

"Chu Ge, this isn't about thinking highly of you or not. I've never doubted your abilities. With you stepping in, nothing would be a big deal. Forget his teacher, even if that kid's grandmaster came, they wouldn't be your match."

Chu Ge rolled his eyes. That kid's grandmaster is probably long dead, right?

"Junming, I'm leaving. Call me if anything happens."

Having said that, Chu Ge turned and greeted He Junming, then left the Taekwondo dojo.

By now, a few students who were quite close to Li Nan had already walked over. They looked at Chu Ge's departing figure, then at Li Nan's relaxed face, all showing concern.

"Sister, tomorrow that Li Zheming is bringing people to challenge us. Why... why aren't you worried at all?"

Li Nan laughed off nonchalantly, "With him around, of course, there's nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter who that kid brings over, they're definitely no match for him."

A student paused, hesitantly saying, "Sister, you have that much confidence in him?"

Li Nan nodded briskly, "Of course."

Another student shook their head, "Sister, aren't you overestimating him? From the look of things, he's clearly reluctant to get involved. He didn't even give you an answer before leaving."

Li Nan frowned with dissatisfaction, "Stop talking nonsense. He'll definitely come."

Seeing Li Nan's trust in Chu Ge, and even seeming quite upset if anyone doubted Chu Ge, He Junming couldn't quite tell how he felt inside. A bit helpless, a bit restless, and a little envious.

Glancing at Da Shan standing beside him, He Junming got up from the bench, and without saying another word to Li Nan, who was surrounded by students all talking about Chu Ge, left the Taekwondo dojo.

In his sight, the Maserati his sister left for Chu Ge had long driven away. He Junming frowned slightly, his gaze complicated, letting out a barely audible sigh.

There was a bit of reluctance, and also a bit of confusion. When he was hospitalized, Chu Shiyao's attitude towards Chu Ge was obviously better than towards him. Now, Li Nan was acting the same way. Was it that when he's with Chu Ge, he can only be a sidekick?

Also, until now, he still doesn't know how Chu Ge and Li Nan met, nor what happened between them.

Even though, with his resources, it would be an easy thing to investigate, he didn't want to do that. He wished Chu Ge would tell him about these things, but unfortunately, Chu Ge seemed to have no intention of doing so.

Being by He Junming's side, Da Shan was also in a bad mood. In his impression, this Eldest Young Master He was always carefree, cynical yet optimistic and cheerful. However, it was all because of this guy named Chu Ge, who not only got He Junming injured twice but also made He Junming so preoccupied.

Involuntarily, Da Shan felt more and more averse to Chu Ge. However, the only thing that comforted him was that tomorrow would be a great opportunity for He Junming to be disappointed in Chu Ge.

After leaving the Taekwondo gym, Chu Ge recalled the subtle changes in He Junming's expression just now, feeling somewhat helpless, and was truly hesitant about whether or not to come tomorrow.

As Chu Ge was pondering, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced over at it, and Chen Jiatong's number flashed on the screen.

Just in time, Chu Ge was already intending to discuss the game-related matters with Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, so he picked up the call casually.

"Young Master Chu, long time no see, I hope I'm not bothering you?" Chen Jiatong's sweet voice came over.

"Not at all, I was just looking to discuss something with you and Yuanyuan, and your call came through."

Hearing Chu Ge say that, Chen Jiatong immediately laughed, "What a coincidence, it's truly an honor to have such a tacit understanding with Young Master Chu. So, what instructions does Young Master Chu have?"

"I wouldn't say instructions, more like hoping you and Yuanyuan can lend a hand with some matters regarding our Tianqing Company."

"I see. Do you have time now, Young Master Chu? If it's convenient, shall we meet to discuss?"

"Sure."

"Then I'll call Yuanyuan over, and we sisters will await Young Master Chu's grand arrival at my place."

Hearing Chen Jiatong's slightly tender voice, Chu Ge chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll be there."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge arrived at Chen Jiatong's residence in no time and knocked on the door. Chen Jiatong stood at the doorway with a smile, looking as if she was ready to welcome him.

Today, Chen Jiatong was wearing a beautiful silk camisole nightdress.

"Young Master Chu, please come in and try these slippers on for size. Tongtong specially prepared them for you."

Chen Jiatong said with a smile, bending down to grab a pair of men's slippers from the shoe rack and placed them at Chu Ge's feet.

"They fit quite well, thank you. Isn't Jingyuan coming over?"

Chu Ge put on the slippers and sat down on the sofa. He remembered that Chen Jiatong had previously mentioned both she and Xu Jingyuan lived in this building, so Xu Jingyuan should have arrived by now.

"She should be here soon. Shall I call and urge her?"

Chen Jiatong stood at the doorway, saying something strange, and just as she spoke, the sound of high heels clattering in the corridor could be heard. Opening the door, indeed, it was Xu Jingyuan who came over.

"Yuanyuan, why so slow? Young Master Chu is already here."

Xu Jingyuan stepped through the door, smiling apologetically at Chu Ge, "Young Master Chu, I was in the middle of a shower when Tongtong called, sorry to keep you waiting."

Today, Xu Jingyuan wore a light blue floral chiffon long dress, with her hair still damp.

Before Chu Ge could say anything, Chen Jiatong giggled and teasingly remarked, half jokingly and half seriously, "Yuanyuan, you're so cunning. Did you take a deliberate bath because you knew Young Master Chu was coming?"

Being teased like this, Xu Jingyuan replied, "Tongtong, you called when I was halfway through my shower. I had to finish it, right? I think you're the one who wore that nightdress on purpose knowing Young Master Chu was coming."

After Xu Jingyuan finished speaking, she reached out and playfully slapped Chen Jiatong, who then let out a coquettish cry and immediately turned to Chu Ge for help, "Young Master Chu, look at Yuanyuan, she's harassing me. Aren't you going to do something?"

Watching these two women joking and teasing each other, Chu Ge grinned and remained indifferent.

After Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan joked around for a few more moments, they both sat down on the sofa on either side of Chu Ge, working in unison to massage his shoulders.

"Jiatong, Jingyuan, I came to see you today to discuss something and to hear your opinions. Our Tianqing Company is preparing to launch a mobile game, and we might need your assistance in this matter."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, both Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were quite pleasantly surprised. Previously, when they helped Chu Ge's friends organize weddings or take photos for promotional posters, those were trivial matters, not worth mentioning.

If they could assist Chu Ge in the company's operations, that would be a completely different matter, something they were eager to be a part of.
