Intelligence updates daily; I achieve sainthood in the martial arts of the public service.

Lu Guoqing then introduced the other people to Tu Yuan.

Lu Guoqing held out his hand with his five fingers together, reaching towards the girl who was holding Gong Yuanyuan's arm.

Seeing the two's intimate manner, Tu Yuan guessed that the girl must be Gong Yuanyuan's best friend.

The girl had a slightly chubby face, was a little over 1.6 meters tall, and was wearing a gray short skirt and a simple white T-shirt.

Her appearance was quite pretty, but standing next to Gong Yuanyuan, she paled in comparison.

However, Lu Guoqing hadn't yet uttered his introduction.

The girl then introduced herself to Tu Yuan with a bright smile:

"Hello! Tu Yuan, my name is Zhao Nana, and I'm good friends with your senior, Gong!"

"I work in the Drug Evaluation Department of the Shengyun City Pharmacy Bureau."

Zhao Nana's demeanor and tone were poised and graceful, clearly indicating that she was a well-mannered girl.

Tu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing Zhao Nana's words.

He never expected that Zhao Nana actually worked in the Drug Review Department of the Municipal Pharmacy Bureau.

Given that Zhao Nana is about the same age as Gong Yuanyuan, and that she was able to get into the municipal pharmacy, her background must be quite impressive.

It was only then that Tu Yuan realized that Gong Yuanyuan's father, Gong Zhenhui, was the deputy mayor. With such a connection, why didn't she go to work for a better unit, but instead stayed at the lottery center?

Tu Yuan buried his doubts in his heart; what unit someone else chose to work for was none of his business.

"Hello! Hello! Nice to meet you!"

Tu Yuan responded politely.

Only then did Lu Guoqing introduce the remaining two people.

The man, Zhai Zhuo, wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a somewhat effeminate appearance. He worked at the Chengyang District Supervision and Management Bureau.

The woman's name was Li Mei. She was the shortest of the group, looking less than 1.6 meters tall, but she was quite pretty.

She was carrying a luxury brand handbag and worked at the Chengyang District Environmental Sanitation Bureau.

Tu Yuan maintained a polite attitude, greeting Zhai Zhuo and Li Mei with neither servility nor arrogance.

Zhai Zhuo was rather indifferent to Tu Yuan, merely nodding slightly.

Li Mei was much more enthusiastic; after introducing herself, her eyes kept subtly lingering on Tu Yuan.

Gong Yuanyuan, who was standing to the side, noticed Li Mei's gaze and felt a vague sense of unease.

Zhao Nana noticed that Gong Yuanyuan seemed a little out of sorts.

He tilted his head slightly and gently touched Gong Yuanyuan with the arm he was holding.

He asked in a low voice:

"Yuanyuan, what are you thinking about?"

Gong Yuanyuan snapped out of her daze, gave Zhao Nana a light glare, and said:

"I'm wondering, Nana, just how much of a bribe did you receive from Lu Guoqing!"

"That's why I helped him arrange to go out with him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Nana smiled gently, revealing her pearly white teeth:

"I really didn't take any money from him. I've always wanted to come to this gym to watch octagon fighting live, but I just couldn't find anyone to go with me."

"It just so happens that Lu Guoqing contacted me this time, saying he wanted to invite me to come to the boxing gym with you to watch a fight, along with some other friends."

"I thought I'd take this opportunity to come and see, so I agreed. My colleagues told me that watching this game is really exciting."

Gong Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly when she heard Zhao Nana say that.

She actually knew that Zhao Nana would never accept any benefits from Lu Guoqing, because Zhao Nana had always been pampered by her parents and had been a well-behaved girl since childhood.

I've never been to a place like Chaoyang Boxing Gym before.

I had wanted to bring her to see this for a long time, but I hadn't agreed yet.

After all, octagon fighting is known for its bloodshed and violence, which she doesn't really like.

Moreover, she didn't want Zhao Nana to come into contact with these places.

But since Zhao Nana had already agreed to Lu Guoqing's request, she was worried and that's why she came along.

Then, Tu Yuan followed Lu Guoqing through the VIP entrance into the boxing gym.

Only after entering did I realize that the VIP passage led to the VIP box stands.

He couldn't go to the spot where he was supposed to be.

In the end, he could only watch the game with Lu Guoqing and four others in the VIP box.

The entire octagonal cage viewing area is circular, with tiered seating surrounding the central area.

The octagonal cage in this world is larger than the one in Tu Yuan's previous life memories.

The standard area is 90 square meters, and the ring is 1.5 meters higher than the ground.

The VIP boxes are located above the edge of the viewing area, offering a complete view of the entire venue.

VIP rooms can be viewed via a large TV screen inside the room, or from the balcony of the room.

A row of sofas was placed on the balcony of the private room, with a long coffee table in front of them.

There are snacks, fruits, and drinks on it.

At this moment, Tu Yuan followed Lu Guoqing and the others to the balcony of the private room and sat down.

Tu Yuan looked down at the audience who were entering the venue one after another.

There were still more than forty minutes before the match, but the atmosphere at the scene had already become lively.

Even Tu Yuan himself felt a sense of excitement.

The boxing gym he went to with Ruan Xueqing yesterday wouldn't have given him this feeling.

Tu Yuan looked at the ventilation openings around his head.

Secret passage:

"I'm afraid that the Chaoyang Boxing Gym is not only in a high-oxygen environment, but they may have also added drugs that can make people excited to the ventilation vents."

"If an ordinary person came here, in this kind of environment, and waited for the competition to start, under the stimulation of blood and violence, where would they find any rationality?"

"They might immediately place bets on the next game after losing the previous one."

"It's all a setup!"

Tu Yuan sighed inwardly.

At this moment, Lu Guoqing, sitting in the middle, looked at Zhai Zhuo, who was sitting next to Tu Yuan, and asked with a smile:

"Brother Zhuo! Did you place any bets while you were watching the fight match?"

Zhai Zhuo chuckled softly:

"If you come to see the octagon cage, wouldn't it be a waste not to place a bet?"

"I bet 20,000 on Han Yousheng of Hungry Wolf."

Lu Guoqing burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! Brother Zhuo, we're kindred spirits!"

"This Korean player not only has a thirteen-game winning streak, but his fighting skills and experience are also absolutely top-notch. Moreover, I heard that this Korean player is already looking for channels to purchase concentrated body fluid."

"This means he has already reached the peak of the second stage of martial arts and is preparing to break through to the level of martial arts master. Buying this concentrated protective liquid is to protect his foundation from serious damage if he fails to break through."

"Plus, his opponent, Scarface, was born disabled and was a cripple."

"Therefore, the outcome of this match is almost a foregone conclusion."

"Otherwise, the odds of Scarface winning the match wouldn't be so high."

When Zhai Zhuo heard Lu Guoqing say this, his smile deepened.

"So how much did you buy?!"

"Sixty thousand!"

"You bought quite a lot!"

"It's alright, not too much!"

When Lu Guoqing said this, his tone was somewhat smug, and at the same time, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted towards Gong Yuanyuan.

Seeing this, Tu Yuan shook his head inwardly.

Trying to gain attention in this way in front of a well-bred young lady like Gong Yuanyuan will most likely only backfire.

Moreover, the money that Zhai Zhuo and Lu Guoqing bet has already gone down the drain.

At this moment, Li Mei, who was sitting next to Zhai Zhuo, spoke up:

"Lu Guoqing, you speak with such conviction."

"Is it really possible to win money by betting on this Korean game?"

Li Mei's tone was eager, seemingly influenced by the conversation between the two.
