Chapter 718
That night, Ito Nanako didn't sleep all night.
She kept thinking about the words Ye Chen had said to her. For some reason, after thinking about it, she suddenly felt that she must not give up martial arts!
Moreover, she must work twice as hard, work desperately hard, and must make Ye Chen look at her with admiration!
Perhaps Ye Chen would never be willing to accept her as a disciple, but she must use practical actions to tell him that she would become a qualified martial artist!
Kobayashi Jiro, who had always wanted to pursue Ito Nanako, also couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
While he couldn't wait to take down Ito Nanako, he was also looking forward to the upcoming advertising offensive of Kobayashi Stomach Powder in China.
Because Kobayashi Stomach Powder was the title sponsor of the finals, now was a great opportunity for Kobayashi Stomach Powder to promote itself.
Moreover, what Kobayashi Jiro didn't expect was that the Chinese player Qin Aoxue had actually become a dark horse in this competition!
For him, because he wanted to open up the Chinese market, he very much hoped that Chinese players could achieve excellent results in this competition.
Because the more this was the case, the more attention Chinese audiences would pay to this competition.
It would be best if a Chinese player could win the championship of this competition. Then the influence of this competition in China would definitely become very large, and then Kobayashi Stomach Powder could take this opportunity to flourish in China.
However, he didn't dare to hope that a Chinese player could win the championship before, because there were no Chinese players among the top five seeded players in this competition.
But now, it seemed that Qin Aoxue had a strong momentum to counterattack and win the championship, which was definitely an unexpected good result for him.
As for Ito Nanako, Kobayashi Jiro actually didn't want her to win.
For one thing, if the winner of this competition was a Japanese player, and the sponsor was a Japanese company, it might cause a certain degree of boycott from Chinese audiences.
For another, Kobayashi Jiro wanted to marry Ito Nanako after she graduated from university. If she won the championship of this competition, she would definitely prepare for the Olympics next. If she won the championship of the next Olympics, she would definitely take advantage of her peak state to prepare for the next Olympics.
In this way, the matter of marriage would definitely become unimportant in Ito Nanako's eyes.
Therefore, if Ito Nanako lost this competition, then gave up martial arts, gave up the Olympics, and was willing to marry him, and then be a good wife and mother, that would be the best result for him.
If Qin Aoxue could win this competition and trigger the attention and pride of the whole of China, then Kobayashi Stomach Powder would definitely be able to become popular all over China by taking advantage of this competition.
In that way, it would bring at least tens of billions in profits to Kobayashi Pharmaceutical every year, which would allow Kobayashi Pharmaceutical to quickly recover its vitality and step onto a new peak!
This was the result Kobayashi Jiro wanted most!
The next day.
Gu Qiuyi began shooting the advertisement for Nine Mysteries Stomach Powder in a film studio in Jin Ling.
When shooting the advertisement, Ye Chen came to the film base to visit the set.
In fact, he didn't want to come at all.
However, because his wife Xiao Churan really wanted to see the whole process of Gu Qiuyi shooting the advertisement with her own eyes, she pestered him to bring her here.
Although Gu Qiuyi was quite dissatisfied with Ye Chen bringing his wife to visit the set, overall, Ye Chen's appearance here still made her feel very happy in her heart.
The advertisement shooting was relatively simple. After shooting the material for a day, the shooting work was basically completed.
Because Xiao Churan still had work to do and couldn't stay at the film base all the time, she went to her studio halfway through the shooting, leaving Ye Chen and Wei Liang at the scene.
After the advertisement was shot, the advertising company's staff immediately took the material back for post-production, while Ye Chen and Wei Liang once again hosted a banquet at Buckingham Palace to treat Gu Qiuyi and Chen Duoduo.
Gu Qiuyi was, after all, a top big star in the country, so her work schedule was still very busy. Because she was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year, and had a solo singing program, she had to rush back to Jingcheng to participate in the first official rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.
Stars who could appear on the Spring Festival Gala were top stars in the country. Due to the extremely high attention of the Spring Festival Gala, many big stars racked their brains to get in.
Many big stars, in order to be on the Spring Festival Gala, were even willing to play an inconspicuous small role in a sketch program. There were also some singers who, in order to be on the Spring Festival Gala, didn't hesitate to sing a song together with several people.
The reason for lowering their status like this was because the Spring Festival Gala was too popular.
In fact, there were very few people in the Spring Festival Gala who could sing a song alone. Those who could have this kind of treatment were generally at the level of heavenly kings and queens.
When the Heavenly Queen Wang made her comeback, she sang "Legend" alone. After this song was sung by her, it became popular all over the country overnight, and also allowed the Heavenly Queen to make a perfect high-profile comeback and make a lot of money.
This was enough to see the influence of the Spring Festival Gala.
And Gu Qiuyi, as a film and television star who mainly focused on acting, could have a solo singing program on the Spring Festival Gala, which could be said to be a very high-standard treatment, and fans all over the country were also very concerned about her performance in this Spring Festival Gala.
But Gu Qiuyi herself was reluctant to leave Jin Ling so soon.
She had finally met Brother Ye Chen, whom she had been searching for for more than a decade. Naturally, she hoped to stay with him for a few more days.
However, as a gala that people all over the country were very concerned about, Gu Qiuyi didn't dare to be careless, so she could only decide to fly back early tomorrow morning and focus on preparing for the Spring Festival Gala for the rest of the time.
At the dinner table, Gu Qiuyi asked Ye Chen again: "Brother Ye Chen, I'm leaving tomorrow and can't stay to accompany you. Are you sure you'll come to Jingcheng to see me and Dad next week?"
"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and promised earnestly: "After I finish the things on hand, I will definitely go next week."
Gu Qiuyi smiled happily and said: "Then I'll go back tomorrow and wait for you in Jingcheng!"
Ye Chen laughed: "Then see you in Jingcheng."
"Brother Ye Chen, can you come to the airport to see me off tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Then it's a deal!"
Just right, the International University Sanda Competition would start the semi-finals tomorrow.
Qin Aoxue would face an Australian player in the competition, while Ito Nanako would face an American player.
If Qin Aoxue won, she would meet the winner of the other match in the finals to compete for the championship.
Ye Chen had great confidence in Qin Aoxue. With her current strength, he believed she would definitely be able to win the championship.
However, Ye Chen also very much hoped that Ito Nanako could defeat that American player in tomorrow's competition, and then compete with Qin Aoxue for the championship in the finals.
In fact, this competition was not fair to Ito Nanako.
Originally, she would definitely have been able to win the championship of this competition, but he used spiritual energy and divine medicine to help Qin Aoxue significantly improve her physical fitness, instantly making her reborn, which was equivalent to forcibly snatching the championship medal from Ito Nanako's hands.
Because he had a good impression of Ito Nanako, he hoped in his heart that Ito Nanako could win a silver medal.
After all, this Japanese girl was very obsessed with martial arts and trained very hard. She had been practicing hard since she was very young. Even if she couldn't win the championship, she should at least win a runner-up.
