Chapter 350 Meeting

Fu Qichuan smiled and said, "Excellent talents deserve attention." He checked his watch and said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Ye should be here soon."

"Mr. Ye?" Ji Wan asked doubtfully.

"Ye Yang, the CEO of Xingchen Outdoor Products, is the sponsor of our surfing event tomorrow and is also a good friend of mine," Fu Qichuan explained. "He just came back from abroad and said he wanted to come and meet everyone."

Sure enough, not long after, a tall man walked into the restaurant.

Ye Yang is about forty years old, with sharp eyes and exuding the confidence unique to successful people.

"Excuse me for waiting." Ye Yang smiled as he took a seat, his gaze lingering on Ji Wan for a few seconds. "Is this Manager Ji? I've heard a lot about you."

Ji Wan smiled slightly, "Mr. Ye, thank you for the compliment."

After the pleasantries, Ye Yang got straight to the point: "I have a suggestion for tomorrow's event. I want to hold a two-person surfing competition to add some fun. I have prepared generous prizes. What do you think?"

"Twin surfing?" Sheng Yanjing became interested. "It requires two people to maintain balance on a surfboard at the same time, which is quite difficult."

Fu Qichuan nodded in agreement. "This is a good suggestion. It will increase the interactivity and viewing value of the event."

Ye Yang smiled with satisfaction, "That's settled then. The rules of the competition are simple: two people in a group, and the one who stays on the surfboard the longest wins. I suggest everyone start forming teams now."

Sheng Yanjing immediately looked at Ji Wan, "Miss Ji, do you want to—"

"Mr. Sheng and I have already made an appointment." Fu Qichuan said first with a smile in his eyes.

Sheng Yanjing spread his hands regretfully and turned to Chi Wenyan, "Wenyan, then we're partners?"

Chi Wenyan was about to answer when He Wanqing interrupted, "Wenyan, how about we be in the same group? That way I can learn too."

Chi Wenyan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

Ji Wan looked at everyone who had already found a partner and said with a slightly awkward expression, "Looks like I'll have to find someone temporarily."

"Miss Ji, why don't we be partners?" A strange voice suddenly sounded.

Ji Wan looked up and saw a strange man standing next to her.

The man was in his early thirties, dressed in designer clothes and with a confident smile on his face.

"Who is this?" Ji Wan asked doubtfully.

Ye Yang stood up and introduced: "This is Hua Junyi, my friend and one of the sponsors of tomorrow's event."

Hua Junyi politely extended his hand. "Ms. Ji, I've long heard of you. I heard you just learned to surf today, and you need an experienced partner for tomorrow's competition. I'm happy to help."

Ji Wan shook hands with him politely, "Mr. Hua, are you good at surfing?"

"Not bad." Hua Junyi smiled calmly, but his eyes swept over Ji Wan unscrupulously, "I believe we will be a good pair."

Chi Wenyan noticed Hua Junyi's eyes, frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Ji Wan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Mr. Hua." She didn't notice the hint of triumphant smile that flashed in Hua Junyi's eyes.

Ye Yang clapped his hands. "Great! The partners have been confirmed. See you at the bay tomorrow morning at ten o'clock."

When Ji Wan and Hua Junyi exchanged contact information, Chi Wenyan's gaze remained on them, and his eyes gradually became cold.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. A stage and auditorium had been set up on the beach, with colorful flags flying and the atmosphere was lively.

The surfing competition is about to start in an hour, and the contestants came to the beach early to warm up and prepare.

Ji Wan changed into a professional diving suit, stood on the beach, and looked at the crowd that was gradually gathering, feeling a little nervous.

She was not familiar with Hua Junyi, the partner who was hastily confirmed last night. She only knew that he was Ye Yang's friend and one of the sponsors of the event.

"Miss Ji, good morning." Hua Junyi appeared behind her at some point and handed her a cup of coffee. "I thought you might need a boost, so I brought you an Americano."

"Thank you, but I don't really drink coffee." Ji Wan declined. "Mr. Hua, are you really good at surfing?"

Hua Junyi smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I've surfed plenty of waves in Hawaii and have experience in two-person events." He looked at Ji Wan's figure, a strange glint in his eyes, "Your figure is very suitable for surfing, light and flexible, we will be the best partners."

Ji Wan frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable with Hua Junyi's gaze, but because he was a client's friend, she didn't show it.

"Then let's go warm up first." Ji Wan suggested.

Hua Junyi nodded, picked up a surfboard, and followed Ji Wan to the beach.

At this moment, Xia Guoguo hurried over and grabbed Ji Wan, "Sister Wan, do you really want to partner with Hua Junyi?"

Ji Wan looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Xia Guoguo lowered her voice, "I just heard that Hua Junyi has a bad reputation in the industry and likes to harass women. Female employees from several companies have already complained about him."

Ji Wan was startled and looked back at Hua Junyi who was chatting with someone not far away. "Is it really that serious? But we've already made an appointment. It's not a good idea to back out now."

Xia Guoguo said worriedly, "How about I go find Mr. Fu and see if we can find a replacement?"

"It's too late, the game is about to start." Ji Wan shook his head. "It's okay, I'll be careful. Since we're in a public place, he shouldn't dare to do anything reckless."

Ji Wan comforted Xia Guoguo for a few words, then turned and walked towards Hua Junyi.

When Hua Junyi saw her come back, he warmly invited her to warm up together.

The two came to the beach, and Ji Wan first did some simple stretching exercises on the beach.

As she bent down to touch her toes, she suddenly felt someone approaching from behind, and then a hand accidentally touched her buttocks.

Ji Wan stood up suddenly, turned around and glared at Hua Junyi without mercy, "What are you doing?"

Hua Junyi looked innocent and said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to remind you that your posture was wrong, but I didn't expect you to straighten up suddenly and I bumped into you."

Ji Wan took a step back with a cold face, keeping his distance from him, "I'll go get a bottle of water, you practice first."

After walking a few steps away, Ji Wan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

She glanced around and found that Chi Wenyan and He Wanqing were talking in a tent not far away. He Wanqing leaned against Chi Wenyan with a sweet look on her face, looking very intimate.

Hua Junyi came over and handed her a bottle of water. "Miss Ji, you don't look well. Do you want to go and rest for a while?"

"I want to go to the bathroom." Ji Wan said, politely declined his companionship, and walked alone to the public bathroom not far away.

Just after Ji Wan left, He Wanqing noticed that Hua Junyi followed Ji Wan's direction.

She rolled her eyes, and after Chi Wenyan was called away, she immediately followed him quietly, stopped not far from the public toilet, and pretended to be waiting for someone.
