The Martial Arts Association
Not long after, Shen Heng parked his car in front of the Martial Arts Association.
This is a building that is much larger than the Supervision Bureau.
Two stone lions stand at the entrance, and a plaque reading "Linhai City Martial Arts Association" hangs beside the door, giving the whole place a very grand appearance.
This is because the flow of people coming and going to the Martial Arts Association will likely be many times greater than that of the Supervision Bureau in the future.
After all, only personnel from the Supervision Bureau are allowed to enter the Supervision Bureau bureau now.
However, the Martial Arts Association will be accepting all ordinary martial artists in the area from now on.
Even if most people don't come to the Martial Arts Association for fun, the sheer number of people there who are there is far greater than that of the Supervision Bureau.
However, that's all for the future.
At this stage, the Martial Arts Association is still quite empty; it's normal not to see a single registered martial artist a day, except for today...
Shen Heng looked at the people gathered at the entrance of the Martial Arts Association with some surprise.
A dozen or so people were standing at the entrance of the Martial Arts Association, many of them carrying video cameras on their shoulders, looking like they were conducting an interview.
At the center of their interview was a young man in a suit, talking eloquently to the person being interviewed.
Shen Heng walked towards that direction, and before he even reached the door, a bodyguard in a suit came to greet him.
"Hello, are you looking to join the Martial Arts Association?" the bodyguard asked as he approached.
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded.
"My boss is being interviewed over there. If you go straight in, you might block the camera. Could you wait a moment? Just a few minutes," the bodyguard said.
Shen Heng opened his mouth, about to say yes, when the bodyguard quickly added:
"Of course, we're not letting you wait here for nothing. We'll pay you, 10,000 yuan."
Shen Heng, who had initially intended to say forget it, hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone.
The 10,000 yuan arrived quickly!
Shen Heng glanced at his phone, confirmed the payment had been received, put the phone away, and walked towards the crowd.
Seeing the young man who wanted to see the interview in person, the bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief.
The Martial Arts Association isn't a tourist attraction anymore, and it's not like it was when Martial Arts Association was first established; there aren't that many people coming to the Martial Arts Association to join in the fun.
Those who are able to come to the Martial Arts Association now are basically there to register, or have already registered.
In other words, those who can appear here are basically all quasi-martial artists!
At this stage, although martial artists' special privileges haven't yet emerged, even a fool knows that you can't afford to offend a potential martial artist.
Moreover, those martial artists might be people his boss might try to win over later.
Therefore, his task was to spend money to make everyone who wanted to go in during the interview wait a little longer at the door.
Of course, if the other party feels insulted by money and wants to go in, then let them in.
At worst, we can just re-record the interview; after all, those who came to do the interviews were paid to do so anyway.
On the other side, Shen Heng had already walked behind the reporter, his gaze fixed on the interview scene.
"So, you believe that martial artists are the foundation for ensuring the stable operation of a business group in the future?" a reporter from Linhai Media Newspaper asked, holding up the microphone.
"Yes, that's right." Ye Chengyun nodded. "Our current prosperity is built on a sound transportation network and a vast production base."
"However, in the future, with the intensification of the invasion from the Ruins Realm, both of these aspects will be greatly threatened."
"At that time, only with the protection of martial artists can the stability of both aspects be guaranteed."
"Although some people say that you can simply hire martial artists with money, I don't deny that."
"But compared to that, I think I'm still myself..."
Shen Heng listened for a while and roughly understood what the other party meant.
This is an attempt to hype up their company's stock by claiming they've sensed the Origin Power and can begin their path to becoming a martial artist.
After learning the other party's purpose, Shen Heng lost interest and waited where he was.
He didn't have to wait long; the interview ended in just two minutes.
People these days don't like watching your interviews. You might do a lot of interviews, but in the end, people might only know one sentence.
The heir of a certain group in Linhai City has sensed the Origin Power and is about to become a martial artist!
Therefore, it's better to condense the content.
If you refine your content, people might take a second look when they click in; if you present a large amount of information, they'll just leave.
Seeing that the interview was over, Shen Heng walked towards the Martial Arts Association.
At the main entrance, the person who had just been interviewed briefly stopped him.
"Thank you for earlier, friend!" Ye Chengyun said with a smile.
"It's nothing, just a transaction," Shen Heng said calmly.
"By the way, my name is Ye Chengyun, and I'm from Red Energy Group. I sensed the Origin Power a couple of days ago. What about you?" Ye Chengyun reached out his hand.
"Shen Heng." Shen Heng reached out and shook hands. "I have something to do, I'll go in first."
"Okay, sure." Ye Chengyun nodded.
Shen Heng glanced at him indifferently, then lifted his leg and walked into the association.
Ye Chengyun watched Shen Heng's departing figure with some regret.
This was the first time he had ever met someone alive who could sense Origin Power just like him.
I was originally thinking of chatting with the other person for a bit first, exchanging contact information, so that we could deepen our relationship and win them over in the future.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be in low spirits for some reason and had no desire to continue the conversation.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to end the chat.
But that's okay, we've all just registered or registered recently, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future!
"Mr. Ye, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now?" a reporter asked.
Ye Chengyun snapped out of his daze, turned around, and smiled at the group:
"Yes, thank you for your help this time. The fee will be transferred to you later!"
"Where, where..."
The scene at the entrance was one of joy and harmony.
Meanwhile, Shen Heng had already entered the Martial Arts Association.
The Martial Arts Association's front hall is spacious, with many benches for people to rest on.
Directly in front of the main entrance, there is a long reception desk.
However, at that moment, only two girls were sitting at the reception desk.
Shen Heng didn't linger, but went straight upstairs and arrived at the door of an open office.
Inside the office, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties was working on documents with his head down.
His name is Ma Weizhi. He was transferred from another department in Linhai by Wang Hai to serve as the director of the Linhai Martial Arts Association office.
Their main duties include maintaining the normal operation of the Martial Arts Association and handling daily affairs.
Shen Heng raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Hearing the sound, Ma Weizhi looked over and immediately stood up from the stool upon seeing Shen Heng.
"Inspector Shen!"
"Hmm," Shen Heng responded, then went inside. "Has the list of registered personnel for this week been confirmed?"
"Take a look, these are the new registrations this week, three people in total. I just checked them again when I came here." Ma Weizhi handed over a list that was on the table.
Shen Heng took the list, glanced at it, and quickly stopped at the first person's name.
That was a familiar name: Yu Jingming!
