NOVPUBSpeak of the devil, and the devil appears.
Just as Huang Yan finished mentioning that he had insurance, a man in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a briefcase, was walking towards them from the entrance of the sports hall.
"Principal Huang, leaders, I see everyone’s here. Why is it so bustling today, is there some kind of big happy event?"
The man was skilled at pleasing, spouting auspicious words while pulling out a pack of cigarettes and offering them around.
If this were any other day, his pack of cigarettes would be sure to run out as it made its rounds.
However, now that he had taken out his cigarettes to offer them, a whole group of leaders waved their hands, not a single one wanted to smoke.
This left the man momentarily puzzled.
Did he run into ghosts today?
Why were these people suddenly putting on airs?
An assistant gave the man a meaningful glance, and the man turned his head to see that beside them He Bingbing was holding a video camera and filming.
Realizing that there was more to the situation, the man put away the cigarettes and quietly asked, "Principal Huang, what’s all this about?"
Huang Yan smiled and said, "Oh, it’s nothing. We got a student by chance who has a lot of online fans. This is his videographer, they’re live streaming."
The man uttered an "oh" and suddenly understood.
In recent times, the national martial arts competition was about to begin, so Huang Yan had been actively seeking publicity, which the man was aware of.
Therefore, he found it reasonable that Huang Yan would recruit an internet-famous student for promotion.
Only, the man found it odd, wasn’t this videographer a bit too pretty?
And more importantly, why did he find this videographer so familiar?
Just as the man was staring at He Bingbing and vaguely recalling something, Huang Yan continued, "Cui Xian, you don’t visit without a reason. Out with it, why are you looking for me?"
His thoughts interrupted by Huang Yan, Cui Xian quickly took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to Huang Yan.
"Principal Huang, didn’t you sign a contract with our company previously? Our company has stamped it already, the contract is in triplicate, and here is your school’s copy."
"From now on, the high insurance amount for this sports hall is officially in effect. To show gratitude for your support of my work, I was thinking of inviting you for a meal later, would you have time?"
Cui Xian wasn’t just being polite.
You see, Huang Yan had bought insurance worth more than nine million for the whole sports college, and Cui Xian alone made a commission close to four hundred thousand, which was enough for a down payment on a house.
Thus, Cui Xian was truly grateful to Huang Yan for supporting his business, and he sincerely wanted to take him out for a meal to express his gratitude properly.
After all, Cui Xian had also tried running business at other schools and had been turned away often, so for a principal like Huang Yan who actively sought their collaboration, he was naturally overwhelmed with appreciation.
Huang Yan waved his hand and said, "There’s no rush for the meal, first tell me, if someone gets injured accidentally in our sports hall, how does your company compensate?"
Cui Xian thought Huang Yan was concerned about the execution of the contract and immediately said, "Of course our insurance company will provide advance payment, and it won’t cost you a penny."
"Strictly speaking, as long as it’s not insurance fraud, as long as the injury occurs during normal activities in the sports hall, no matter how severe or how badly they’re hurt, the medical expenses are covered by our company, compensation included, and you can absolutely rest assured about that."
Even though the contract was signed, hearing Cui Xian confirm it in person was when Huang Yan finally felt truly at ease.
Huang Yan burst into laughter and said, "That’s fine, your words will do. With so many netizens in the live stream as witnesses, you better not try to wriggle out of it if something really happens."
Cui Xian had just made a casual remark after all, since he had just signed a big deal with Huang Yan and needed to say something nice to put Huang Yan at ease, right?
But Huang Yan’s reaction made Cui Xian feel that something was off.
Especially when Huang Yan accused him of being irresponsible, Cui Xian inexplicably had a bad premonition.
What did Huang Yan mean by that? Was something going to happen?
Just as Cui Xian was puzzling over this, Wu Bin, now changed into his fighting gear, walked out of the changing room.
Upon seeing Wu Bin, Cui Xian’s face went pale in an instant.
"Fuck, Wu Bin! What’s he doing here!"
When Cui Xian blurted out his exclamation, Huang Yan turned his head, looking at him with curiosity.
"What’s wrong, Cui Xian? Do you know our student Wu Bin?"
Seeing Wu Bin warming up, Cui Xian instantly understood where his ominous premonition had come from.
He broke out in goosebumps and hastily pointed at Wu Bin below, asking, "Principal Huang, why is student Wu Bin here? Isn’t he a student at the Agricultural University?"
Huang Yan uttered an ’oh’ and explained, "Didn’t I tell you I invited a popular university student to help us with promotion? Student Wu Bin has a lot of followers; I thought he would surely help our sports university get a good promotion, so I called him here. There isn’t a problem with that, is there?"
No problem?
The problem was huge!
Cui Xian hurriedly said, "Principal Huang, don’t mess me up! Wu Bin has long been blacklisted by our insurance industry; even if we were to provide insurance to Super Dragon, we wouldn’t dare sell it to Wu Bin!"
"Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?"
Huang Yan said nonchalantly, "Wu Bin looks to be in good shape, obviously a regular exerciser. Besides, he’s just having a simple sparring session with our martial arts coach, nothing major is going to happen."
A sparring session with a martial arts coach, simple?
Are you fucking kidding me?
You mean to say he’s going to fight with these martial arts coaches?
These coaches hit hard and don’t hold back; if they were to kill Wu Bin, wouldn’t our company end up paying through the nose?
Cui Xian was already drenched in sweat.
He quickly said to Huang Yan, "Principal Huang, we really can’t go on with the match; you must call it off now! If they really start fighting, something will definitely go wrong, and our company won’t take responsibility for an event we knew would be problematic!"
As soon as Huang Yan heard this, his previously cheerful face instantly turned cold.
"Cui Xian, bro, that’s not the right thing for you to say."
"I’ve paid the money and signed the contract; you just said yourself that the insurance is already in effect. Moreover, I bought insurance for everyone participating in the sports university gym event, not just for Wu Bin alone. You say you won’t take responsibility just like that? Try not taking responsibility, and see if I don’t have connections above."
Cui Xian knew he had misspoken, but thinking of Wu Bin being a frail university student, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Principal Huang, it’s not that I don’t want to take responsibility, but it’s a fact that Wu Bin is indeed on our insurance blacklist."
Huang Yan was no pushover either.
"What insurance blacklist? Does the law recognize this blacklist you’re talking about? Is it legal? I’m telling you, everything should be done according to the law, so stop wasting my time with your nonsense!"
