Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 168: If You Don’t Trust My Record, Then There’s Nothing to Discuss

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: If You Don’t Trust My Record, Then There’s Nothing to Discuss

Nearby riders who didn’t place were also buzzing about Wang Ye’s background.

At this moment.

Most riders had already speculated that Wang Ye might indeed be Qi Refining Brother.

Because aside from Qi Refining Brother, they couldn’t think of anyone else like him in Wei Sea.

By also considering the model of the mountain bike in yesterday’s downhill video and the model Wang Ye was riding, you could come to the conclusion.

"I never thought there would actually be such a versatile human in the world..." remarked a ponytailed female rider, shaking her head.

"This shouldn’t count as human anymore, right... capable of mastering several skills exceeding current world records, with physical condition surpassing normal people by more than five times, it’s simply monstrous," a bearded man beside her exclaimed in amazement.

"Finally understand why side characters in fantasy novels call the protagonist a freak... What the hell did Nuwa create?" a young man in his twenties lamented to the sky.

In small city-level competitions like this, after placing, there’s no need for a urine test because participants have undergone physical and bike inspections during check-in, so they can directly claim trophies and prizes from the committee post-race.

After receiving his prize, Wang Ye quickly rode away from the scene.

He didn’t leave any chance for interviews with hosts or reporters.

Although Wang Ye just finished the race, he showed no signs of post-race fatigue.

Instead, he sped back to the hotel with a pace even faster than during the race.

Wang Ye swiped his card to enter the room and changed out of his tight cycling gear.

He went to the bathroom and took a cold shower, washing off the mud and sweat.

The shower constantly sprayed cold water, instantly cooling his skin from forty to fifty degrees.

This hot-cold stimulation opened up his pores and cleared his mind like never before.

Wang Ye could clearly feel that some of his damaged muscle groups were rapidly recovering with the cold shower.

This cold water recovery actually has scientific backing, as cold showers after exercise help lower skin temperature, improve blood circulation, increase heat storage capacity, and reduce the inflammatory response of affected tissues during training, alleviating post-exercise muscle soreness.

Many athletes take cold showers post-exercise or alternate between hot and cold water to promote muscle recovery. Some elite athletes even use professional cooling devices after exercise to simulate ice water baths.

Realizing this, Wang Ye suddenly thought that after training Golden Bell Shield, he could also use the hot and cold method to enhance his recovery.

Just as Wang Ye planned to train Golden Bell Shield again and verify his idea.

The doorbell rang once more.

Ding dong.

A manager claiming to be from Jordan sports brand came calling.

Wang Ye wasn’t too surprised and invited him into the hotel for a brief chat.

He learned that this visit was also to invite him to sign an endorsement contract, similar to Anta yesterday.

"Mr. Wang, we heard you participated in the local Wei Sea mountain bike race this morning, and you’re soon heading to Lanzhou, so we wanted to reach you quickly. If there’s any inconvenience, please forgive us," the man with a buzz cut, claiming to be the Jordan Group manager, said apologetically.

Wang Ye slightly frowned at the buzz cut man in front of him.

Indeed, as he anticipated yesterday, with the increasing buzz from his race.

Numerous well-known sports brands would be inquiring about endorsements during this period.

"How are the endorsement fee and conditions?" Wang Ye asked.

"Well... after internal discussion at Jordan Group, the final offer is an endorsement fee of 16 million annually, with other conditions not inferior to offers from other brands. Just one minor prerequisite, though," said the buzz cut man somewhat hesitantly.

"Prerequisite?" Wang Ye’s eyes narrowed.

Jordan’s proposed endorsement fee is one million higher than Anta’s, with similar conditions otherwise.

If there aren’t any issues, he’d probably choose to endorse Jordan.

However, judging from the buzz cut man’s look.

This contract might not be as simple to sign.

"Mr. Wang, hear me out. Here’s the thing," the buzz cut man cleared his throat and continued, "Considering that the events you’ve participated in aren’t IAAF certified as gold or silver label events, you need to wait until after participating in the Lanzhou Marathon and achieving valid results before signing the 16 million endorsement contract with us. Until then, you can still choose to sign a 6 million endorsement contract with our Jordan Group. Mr. Wang, what do you think?"

"So you still don’t trust my results?" Wang Ye straightforwardly questioned.

The meaning was clear.

Wang Ye’s current results haven’t been internationally recognized.

Thus, Jordan Group also doubts his performance.

The buzz cut man shook his head, saying, "Mr. Wang, listen, this is actually a valuable opportunity for you... After all, you aren’t a national team athlete and haven’t received international certificates. Your performance hasn’t been internationally recognized, leaving you without a solid foundation, to put it bluntly, like a floating duckweed. Our Jordan Group would assist you in establishing a foundation. The immediate rewards and benefits aren’t that significant..."

"Sorry, I’m not looking for commercial cooperation at the moment, please leave," Wang Ye promptly issued a dismissal. Since they don’t trust his race results, naturally cooperation is off the table.

Upon hearing this, the buzz cut man sighed slightly and didn’t hassle further. He said, "Sorry for the bother," and left the hotel room.

Wang Ye closed the door, then took out the Diamond Sandpaper and Alloy Hard Engraving Knife from the drawer, ready to continue training Golden Bell Shield.

The reason for refusing Jordan’s cooperation was simple; Wang Ye didn’t appreciate their attitude.

For Wang Ye, which brand to sign with or the difference in earning extra money doesn’t matter significantly, as he gradually evolves to biological limits, his desire for such external items diminishes.

He simply wanted to observe the attitudes of various groups.

And the numeral value of endorsement fees most clearly reflects sincerity.

Lowering the endorsement fee before the Lanzhou Marathon implies Jordan Group doesn’t currently have faith in his potential.
