"Boss, who was that just now?" Qin Junlin asked, after seeing Xu Chen talking to a man and a woman and then the man and woman leaving.
"Oh, just a stranger. So, is it over here?"
"It will probably be a while. The fat man has called over some business people. This group is discussing cooperation, business, and prospects, so it's not good to send them away."
"Hurry up, I... Oh right, I also want to find someone to cooperate with." Xu Chen then realized that he had a big project in his hands. Whether the deal goes well or not, it would be good to learn from these business people.
"Boss, you mean? Your beauty pill?" Qin Junlin asked, and Xu Chen nodded. Qin then faced a dilemma. Leaving aside whether any of the people present were involved in this kind of business, the Chinese cosmetics market was currently heavily monopolized by foreign companies. To grow and succeed, aside from initial preparations, a significant amount of marketing effort was required during the product launch phase, and the product quality had to be excellent to break down the stereotypes people had about domestically produced goods. Qin Junlin had complete faith in the quality of the products Xu Chen brought, but the marketing costs were simply too enormous.
"What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Xu Chen asked gently, noticing Qin Junlin's troubled expression.
"It's indeed difficult, boss. Let me think about it first." Qin Junlin began brainstorming. "Beauty Pill... Beauty Pill... Aunt is a big businesswoman, but she's in the real estate industry, which is completely unrelated... Beauty Pill..."
"Boss, after these guys leave, let's discuss how to help you make the Beauty Pill."
"Thank you, Junlin, thank you."
"Boss, you flatter me by saying that," Qin Junlin said in a low voice. "If it weren't for your skills, I would still be just an ordinary soldier, but now I'd be Spider-Man."
"Speaking of cultivation techniques, how's your practice going?" Xu Chen asked, not wanting to be bothered.
"Uh... it's alright. I'm currently in the mid-stage of Dark Force, and I'm about to break through to the late stage." Normally, martial artists wouldn't advance this quickly. Some martial artists might take decades to reach Qin Junlin's current strength. However, the Tianquan Sect's techniques are too powerful. In addition, the army spent a lot of money and effort to train Qin Junlin and others, following Xu Chen's advice, so their strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
“Tell them to make room for me, and I’ll fight you.”
"Hey, don't be like that, boss. We're having a party today. If you beat me so badly I can't get up, the Qin family will lose face all the way to the moon."
"Don't worry, I will fight you with the strength of the early stage of the Transformation Realm, and I won't let you lose face."
"Early stage of Transformation Realm, Boss might be a Grandmaster level expert," Qin Junlin thought to himself. Then, under Xu Chen's eager gaze, he gave in and said, "Alright, Boss, I'll play along to the end."
"Fatty, come here." Qin Junlin called Fatty over. As soon as Fatty got in front of Xu Chen, he said respectfully in a low voice, "Colonel, thank you for lifting the restrictions. My brother has passed the test. Thank you."
Xu Chen waved his hand, offering no reply. In truth, he couldn't really say anything. Should he say "no need to thank me"? The credit would go to the Sun family. As for the cultivation technique? If he hadn't provided it, another cultivator would have, like Qin Ziyue.
"A master, absolutely a master." Little Fatty's awe grew as he saw Xu Chen feigning profundity.
"Clear out the backyard, call your younger brother and the others over, I'm going to have a fight with Boss Xu. You all can watch."
"Great, great!" the fat man shouted excitedly, almost attracting everyone's attention. He then called over the bodyguards and the others to seal off the courtyard.
"Brother, is it true?" Li Yuan asked his older brother Li Cheng excitedly.
"Quiet down and look carefully. These will be your two bosses from now on. You should learn from them." Li Yuan shushed his younger brother and told him to observe carefully.
"Boss, go easy on him!" Qin Junlin trembled. At first, when he fought Xu Chen, he was quite unconvinced and thought that he would surpass Xu Chen one day. Later, every time Xu Chen came to the base after advancing in strength, he was eager to try and beat Xu Chen to a pulp. However, without exception, he was the one who was beaten down, or even beaten down with his teammates. As a result, he is now a little afraid of Xu Chen.
"Let's begin."
In the blink of an eye, the two rushed towards each other with lightning speed. Qin Junlin threw a punch, which Xu Chen dodged. Xu Chen blocked Qin Junlin's other punch, jumped back, and kicked out. Qin Junlin had no time to dodge. He used both hands to block Xu Chen's attack, but he was also knocked back several steps.
"You must learn to concentrate your hidden strength into a single point." Xu Chen instructed Qin Junlin while fighting. Qin grasped the concept quickly, concentrating his hidden strength at his fingertips and throwing a punch. As the punch approached Xu Chen's body, it opened up and stabbed towards Xu Chen in the form of a hand chop, transmitting the hidden strength.
"Okay, not bad, continue, try other formats."
Half an hour later, Xu Chen and Qin Junlin stopped what they were doing. Xu Chen stepped forward and patted Qin Junlin on the shoulder. "Not bad. Remember, if you skillfully use hidden force to transmit it into the enemy's body, he can resist it, but it will take him some time to force it out. If he can't resist it, then death is all that awaits him."
"Got it, boss." Qin Junlin nodded gratefully, then looked at himself awkwardly. His clothes and shoes were almost all tattered, and his underwear was sticking out. If Xu Chen hadn't stopped in time, he probably would have been naked.
Xu Chen suppressed a laugh and continued, "Using internal energy to protect clothing is also a required course. I'll give some group guidance during this period."
The young masters standing nearby were completely stunned. Was a scene from a martial arts novel or TV series being recreated before their eyes? Seeing that the two had finished fighting, Li Yuan quickly stepped forward and took out a towel to wipe Xu Chen's sweat. Xu Chen took the towel with a bewildered look on his face.
Li Cheng quickly introduced, "Colonel, this is my younger brother. He will be joining the second team in the future."
"Good physique, you've got the makings of a martial arts practitioner." Xu Chen observed Li Yuan for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and the remaining people also came up to introduce themselves to Xu Chen one by one.
"Colonel, thank you for giving us a chance. To be honest, we are the least successful kids in our families. If we hadn't been determined to endure the base's test, we probably would have continued to be spoiled brats."
"No need to thank me. Now that we've passed the test, we're colleagues," Xu Chen waved his hand and said modestly.
"Boss, it's almost noon. The brothers have made a reservation at the Grand Hotel Beijing. Shall we go?"
"Okay, it's settled then. After this meal, there's no need for thanks."
"Yes, yes, come on, boss, get in the car." Qin Junlin pulled Xu Chen into the car, and the group headed into the city. The remaining guests had already left in an orderly manner under the butler's instructions.
