Chapter 606 Then accept the challenge

Lin Yuan showed a relaxed smile: "It's very simple, I accept Gu Yexing's challenge."

Qi Xiaoke's eyes widened: "What? But if you lose, you have to quit the live broadcast circle!"

Lin Yuan reached out to hold Qi Xiaoke's hand and said softly: "Xiao Ke, believe me. I will not lose. And, even if I do lose, it is better than watching you and Coco Platform suffer a blow."

Qi Xiaoke felt her eyes moistened. She lowered her head and her voice choked with sobs: "Lin Yuan, I... I don't know what to say."

Lin Yuan said softly: "You don't need to say anything. We are friends, aren't we? Friends should help each other."

Qi Xiaoke raised his head, looked at Lin Yuan's firm eyes, and felt a warm current in his heart.

She nodded slightly: "Thank you, Lin Yuan. But...are you really sure?"

Lin Yuan smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I have my plan. But before that, I need you to do me a favor."

Qi Xiaoke immediately said: "What's the business? You tell me."

Lin Yuan came closer and lowered his voice and said, "I need you to help me collect some information about Gu Group, especially their recent products and market strategies."

Qi Xiaoke nodded: "No problem, I will try my best to collect it for you."

Lin Yuan patted her hand: "Thank you, Xiaoke. Remember, no matter what happens, we are together."

Qi Xiaoke felt warm in her heart, and she showed her first sincere smile in the past few days: "I know. Lin Yuan, I am really grateful to have a friend like you."

The two chatted for a while longer, discussing some details.

When they were about to leave, Lin Yuan suddenly said: "By the way, Xiaoke, you go back first. I still have something to deal with."

Qi Xiaoke was a little confused, but still nodded: "Okay, then be careful. If you need my help, please tell me at any time."

Lin Yuan watched Qi Xiaoke leave with a smile.

When she disappeared through the door, his expression became serious.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Hey, it's me. I need you to help me check something."

Not long after, Lin Yuan stood in front of the Gu Group building, took a deep breath, and straightened his collar.

Pushing open the office door, Lin Yuan saw Gu Yexing sitting behind the large desk with a half-smile expression on his face.

Qi Xiaoke was already there, standing aside with a nervous expression.

"Lin Yuan, you're here." Gu Yexing said slowly, "I thought you would back down."

Lin Yuan smiled calmly, "Mr. Gu, I am never afraid of any challenge."

Gu Yexing raised his eyebrows, "Very good, let's get straight to the point."

He stood up and walked to Lin Yuan, "I propose a competition to see who can sell more health care products in a month. The loser will have to quit the live broadcast circle."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is this your proposal? It seems to be very beneficial to you."

Gu Yexing sneered, "Why, are you scared?"

"Afraid?" Lin Yuan chuckled, "On the contrary, I'm very interested. However, I have a small suggestion."

Gu Yexing raised his eyebrows to indicate for him to continue.

Lin Yuan said slowly: "Since it is a competition, it must be fair. We each choose a health product and sell it on the same platform. The person with the highest sales volume wins. How about it?"

Gu Yexing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay. But it's up to me to choose the platform."

"No problem." Lin Yuan agreed readily.

Qi Xiaoke was frightened when she heard this. She couldn't help but interject: "Lin Yuan, are you sure?" Lin Yuan smiled reassuringly at her, "Don't worry, Xiaoke. I'm sure."

Gu Yexing snorted coldly, "Lin Yuan, you are too confident. Do you think you can defeat our Gu Group's many years of sales experience with your live broadcast skills of a three-legged cat?"

Lin Yuan was unmoved and responded calmly: "Mr. Gu, success or failure does not depend solely on experience. Innovation and flexibility are equally important."

Gu Yexing narrowed his eyes and said with ridicule in his tone: "Oh? Then I want to see what tricks you can do."

Lin Yuan smiled and said nothing, his eyes firm.

Gu Yexing continued: "In that case, it's settled. In one month, we will know who is the real winner."

He turned to Qi Xiaoke and said, "Xiaoke, how about you be a witness for this competition?"

Qi Xiaoke hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lin Yuan, saw him nodding slightly, and then said, "Okay, I am willing to serve as a witness."

Gu Yexing smiled with satisfaction, "Very good. Then, let's wait and see."

He turned to Lin Yuan with provocation in his eyes, "Lin Yuan, I hope you can persist until the end and don't quit midway."

Lin Yuan responded calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I won't let you down."

Gu Yexing sneered, "We'll see."

"Mr. Gu, you seem to be very confident in yourself. However, I would like to remind you." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Gu Yexing raised his eyebrows with a hint of disdain: "Oh? What else do you have to say?"

Lin Yuan said slowly: "In this era of rapid change, sticking to tradition may not be a wise move. Sometimes, innovation and flexibility are more important than experience."

Gu Yexing sneered: "What a shameless talk. Do you think you can win this game with just a few empty words?"

Lin Yuan was unmoved and continued: "I'm not talking empty words, Mr. Gu. I just want to tell you, don't underestimate any opponent, including me."

Gu Yexing's expression became serious. He stared at Lin Yuan with a threatening tone: "Lin Yuan, you'd better remember your position. This is not a game you can challenge casually."

Lin Yuan looked directly into Gu Yexing's eyes and did not flinch: "Mr. Gu, on the contrary. I know my position very well and the significance of this game very well. That's why I will go all out."

Gu Yexing was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Okay, very good. I want to see what tricks you can play."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said nothing more.

He turned to look at Qi Xiaoke and said softly: "Xiaoke, let's go."

Qi Xiaoke nodded and followed Lin Yuan to the door.

Just as they were about to leave the office, Gu Yexing suddenly said: "Lin Yuan, don't forget, the loser will have to quit the live broadcast circle. Are you ready?"

Lin Yuan stopped, looked back at Gu Yexing, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Gu, I will return this sentence to you intact."

After that, Lin Yuan turned around and left, leaving Gu Yexing standing alone in the office with a gloomy face.

Lin Yuan and Qi Xiaoke walked out of the Gu Group building.

Qi Xiaoke couldn't help asking: "Lin Yuan, are you really sure? The strength of Gu Group. "

Lin Yuan gently patted her shoulder and interrupted her: "Xiao Ke, don't worry. I know what I am doing."

Qi Xiaoke wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Yuan's firm eyes, she finally just nodded.
