Not long after the top eight list came out, Zhao Gangjun received an invitation from the central government.
The central government held a banquet at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in honor of the five Chinese people who entered the top eight in this competition.
Zhao Gangjun originally planned to go home early to play with his two sons, but unfortunately the host of the banquet was Prime Minister Wang Weiguo. Zhao Gangjun did not give face to anyone, and he did not dare not give face to the second most powerful person in China.
The banquet was not a public banquet, and Wang Weiguo did not make any fanfare. He just opened a medium-sized box in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. There was only a large round table in the box.
Zhao Gangjun and Zhao Tiezhu came to the box together.
In the box, Wang Weiguo, as the owner, was already sitting and waiting.
Zhao Gangrong and Zhao Gangrong were the first to arrive. When Wang Weiguo saw the two of them, he stood up from his seat with a smile.
This is quite a high standard for a country's prime minister.
Even if a provincial governor or secretary of the provincial party committee comes, Wang Weiguo may not be able to stand up to greet him. This shows that Wang Weiguo still values Zhao Gangjun and his father very much.
"Tie Zhu, I haven't seen you for a while."
Wang Weiguo smiled and said hello to Zhao Tiezhu first.
"That's right, it's been a few years."
Zhao Tiezhu smiled and shook hands with Wang Weiguo. His face was full of a relaxed smile, as if the old man in front of him was not the Prime Minister, but just a little old man on the street.
Wang Weiguo didn't take it seriously either. After shaking hands with Zhao Tiezhu, he looked at Zhao Gangjun and said, "Gangjun, your performance has amazed many people, especially your victory over Yamamoto Eikichi. Haha, this is really impressive for us in China."
He has a long face."
"It's all because of the good education provided by the country."
Zhao Gangjun lowered his head shyly.
"Hahaha, come on, come on, sit down."
Wang Weiguo asked Zhao Gangjun and Zhao Tiezhu to sit down.
Zhao Gangjun planned to sit anywhere, but Wang Weiguo pulled him to his side.
Zhao Tiezhu sat on the left side of Wang Weiguo, and Zhao Gangjun sat on the right side of Wang Weiguo.
This seating arrangement clearly shows Wang Weiguo's closeness.
Within a few minutes, Bai Yufan and others also arrived one after another.
Bai Yufan, who always had a serious face, finally smiled when he saw Wang Weiguo.
No matter how arrogant he is, the other party is the Prime Minister of a country, and it will only take a matter of minutes to kill him, so naturally he has to lower his dignity.
However, after seeing Zhao Gangjun and Zhao Tiezhu occupying the two seats next to Wang Weiguo, Bai Yufan looked slightly unhappy. However, Wang Weiguo had arranged the seats and so on, and Bai Yufan could not say anything about it.
Bai Xiaoqin sat down next to Zhao Gangjun with a smile, and then said, "There is a high chance that we will meet each other in the competition tomorrow."
"Hehe, Teacher Bai will have to let me go when the time comes." Zhao Gangjun said with a smile.
Bai Xiaoqin smiled and said, "If you meet Asami Yuma, be more careful."
"oh?"
Zhao Gangjun said slightly surprised, "Why?"
"Her yin and yang skills are not very powerful."
Bai Xiaoqin said, "But her physical skills are very powerful. In these two rounds of competition, she did not use her full strength."
"I see."
Zhao Gangjun nodded seriously, because he had fought against Asami Yuma before and had a general understanding of Asami Yuma's strength, so in this martial arts competition, Zhao Gangru basically didn't take Asami Yuma seriously, but now he heard that
When Bai Xiaoqin said this, Zhao Gangrong's vigilance towards Asami Yuzhen suddenly became much higher.
It's right to think about it. Asami Yuma can represent Japan with Yamamoto Eikichi and Qianyahun. Her strength is definitely not what she has seen before.
These days, I am not the only one who defies heaven!
Asami Yuma can reach such a height at such an age, she is definitely a monster comparable to herself.
Not long after, everyone arrived.
Six people, Wang Weiguo, Zhao Gangjun, Zhao Tiezhu, Bai Yufan, Army God, and Bai Xiaoqin, sat around a table. Wang Weiguo smiled and chatted with everyone, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
And at the same time, in another place.
"Paul, tomorrow is the quarter-finals."
Hannibal sat on the sofa, looked at Paul in front of him, and said, "If you meet someone else tomorrow, continue to act according to the plan, but if you meet Zhao Gangjun, I need you to make no reservations."
"Why?"
Paul frowned slightly, "Didn't I say that I can only use my full strength in the finals?"
"In this competition, there is one thing that is more important than winning the championship."
Hannibal said seriously.
"whats the matter?"
"Find out what method Zhao Gangjun used to deal with people like us." Hannibal said with a sullen face, "Last time, Zhao Gangjun used some unknown method to kill three of us in an instant. Mr. President used a lot of methods.
Even with all our efforts, we have not been able to find out what method Zhao Gangjun used to kill the three of us effortlessly. If Zhao Gangjun's method spreads out, or is mastered by the Chinese government, then for us, it will be
It is a disaster. If you meet Zhao Gangjun tomorrow and use all your strength to catch Zhao Gangjun off guard, you will have the advantage by then. If he wants to make a comeback, he will definitely use some unconventional means. To deal with a reformer like you, this
This method is most likely the method he used to deal with the three of us last time. As long as he can use those methods, we can make corresponding countermeasures. This matter is very important to us!"
"I see."
Paul nodded and said, "If I really encounter Zhao Gangjun, I will use my full strength."
"That's good!"
Hannibal nodded.
In another room.
"Asami, this competition and the glory of the Japanese Empire depend on you!"
Yamamoto Eikichi sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at Asami Yuma in front of him and said.
"I will definitely try my best to live up to your expectations, sir." Asami Yuma knelt on the ground and said with her head lowered.
"As long as you can get first place this time, I can promise you to let your people go free."
Yamamoto Eikichi said suddenly.
Asami Yuma's pupils condensed slightly, and then she said respectfully, "It is the honor of our clan to be able to contribute to the shrine."
"I know that you have never liked what the shrine has done to your family."
Yamamoto Eikichi said, "Actually, I have always been opposed to doing this kind of thing. If you can win the championship this time, then I will have enough capital to speak for you. When the time comes, I believe no one in the shrine will object.
"
"Thank you, sir."
Asami Yuma said.
"Well...you go down."
Yamamoto Eikichi waved his hand, and Asami Yuma stood up and left.
After Asami Yuma left, Qianyehun, who had been sitting silently next to him, suddenly said, "Is what you said true?"
"hehe."
Yamamoto Eikichi smiled and said, "If you don't say this, given Asami Yuma's character, how could she go all out? If she didn't go all out, how could she have a chance to get first place?"
"You are still so cunning."
Qian Yehun smiled.
"This time we two lost unexpectedly. Asami is our last trump card. If we can't get the first place, how will we explain to His Majesty the Emperor after we return home... If Asami really works hard, it is still possible to get the first place."
Yamamoto Eikichi said.
"What if you don't get first place?" Qian Yehun asked.
"Then put all the blame on Asami. Someone must be responsible for this matter." Yamamoto Eikichi said calmly, "When the time comes...let Asami commit seppuku."
Qian Yehun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is a way to divert attention."
Yamamoto Eikichi nodded. This time the three of them went to the martial arts competition. The country had very high expectations. As a result, both of them have been eliminated, leaving only Asami Yuma. If Asami Yuma is eliminated again, what will happen to the shrine?
The blow will be very severe. If Asami Yuma can commit suicide over this matter, then as long as we cooperate with the publicity, we can definitely divert the attention of the immigrants.
As long as it can divert people's attention and does not affect the status of Yamamoto Eikichi and Qianyahun in the shrine, what does it matter if Asami Yuma dies?
It has to be said that in the eyes of these so-called people who stand on high places, many of their subordinates can be sacrificed at any time.
This is true in China, it is true in Japan, and it is true all over the world.
This is the reality of this society. Even if you have been brilliant, as long as the people above want you to die, you have to die.
No wonder so many people risk their lives to climb up.
Everyone wants to be someone who can control their own destiny.
This is the case with Zhao Gangjun. Fortunately, he is very good. In this era of fighting for his father, Zhao Gangjun won at the starting line and kept winning.
The dinner ended at about nine o'clock.
Wang Weiguo invited everyone to make tea for a while and chat for a while.
The content of the chat was actually very simple. They just hoped that Zhao Gangjun and the others could work hard and win glory for the country.
At the end of the chat, Wang Weiguo dropped a bombshell.
As long as whoever can get the final first place, the central government will agree to the champion's request if conditions permit and it does not violate laws and ethics.
This bombshell immediately stunned everyone present.
The central government agreed to a condition!
It doesn't violate the law and ethics, but the reward is too great.
For example, Zhao Gangjun could directly ask the central government to ban the Guwu Family Alliance!!
For example, Bai Yufan, he can directly ask the central government to position the ancient martial arts family alliance as legal!
These things are originally very difficult, but now, as long as you win the championship, you can complete it in an instant. How can this not be shocking?
"Okay, you guys go back and rest. I look forward to your performance tomorrow."
Before everyone could calm down, Wang Weiguo waved people away.
Everyone left together. Although they still walked the same way, their steps were not as relaxed as before.
Because this benefit can be for oneself, or it can be for others...for oneself!
