I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

The banquet held by Bowles after returning to North America gathered most of the famous and powerful people in Europe and the United States, making Bowles the focus of North America for a time.

Many people were surprised that he recovered and returned from China in just one month, and he looked in good health, not like he had a serious illness at all.

It's a miracle that amazes everyone.

but……

Jiang Chen, a miracle creator, still lives a low-key and secluded life in Rongcheng, Huaxia.

Until this day.

Guo Haitao came to the door in person.

Walking into Jiang Chen's yard, Guo Haitao exclaimed: "This place is indeed suitable for seclusion. I want to live here. It is worthy of being the place chosen by Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen listened and smiled, "This was built in the place chosen by Yan Ruyu's brother, and then it was left empty, so I bought it."

Guo Haitao smiled and said, "That's because you heroes think alike."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said nothing, continuing to read the book in his hand.

Guo Haitao sat down immediately and got straight to the point: "The World Championship is about to start. I was afraid you had forgotten, so I came to see you."

Jiang Chen's eyebrows twitched, and then he said, "I regret agreeing to participate in the World Championship. I just want to stay in seclusion like this forever."

Guo Haitao smiled and said, "I knew you might not want to go, but there's nothing I can do. I've already signed you up. Sorry to bother you with the trip."

Guo Haitao and the Chinese copyright holders were worried that Jiang Chen might get upset and simply not go, so they just had to pay them full compensation for breach of contract.

With Jiang Chen's wealth, it would not be difficult for him to compensate them for breach of contract.

However, even if Jiang Chen really dared to give them liquidated damages, they would not dare to ask for it.

If they dared to collect the penalty from Jiang Chen, they would probably be shut down within a month.

Now, no one knows how many capitalists and powerful people are looking for an opportunity to please Jiang Chen.

and so.

Once Jiang Chen doesn't want to go, Guo Haitao and the copyright owner can only terminate the contract proactively, not requiring Jiang Chen to pay the penalty for breach of contract, and then find someone else to replace him.

Now Guo Haitao came here to test Jiang Chen's attitude and persuade him to continue to participate in the competition.

If they find out that Jiang Chen is really determined not to go, then they can make preparations in advance and invite Yuan Caiyi, the backup, to participate in the world competition.

Fortunately, now Guo Haitao looks at Jiang Chen and thinks he is willing to go. Although he doesn't want to go in his heart, he probably doesn't want to break his promise.

Jiang Chen heard this and asked, "What time?"

Guo Haitao: "The champions of other major regions have already been decided, and the world competition will be held next week! We have prepared everything for you, including a private jet, a service team, and the hotel over there. Oh, by the way, it's not a hotel, but a manor."

"It was not provided by us, but by Mr. Powers in North America. Moreover, I heard that it was a temporary manor purchased near the venue of the World Championships program."

"A few days ago, many wealthy people in North America contacted us and wanted to provide us with accommodation. We finally chose the Bowers' manor because Mr. Bowers said he knew you."

Jiang Chen listened, smiled, and said without comment, "You can make the arrangements as you see fit. When do we leave?"

When Guo Haitao heard that Jiang Chen was determined to go, he smiled excitedly: "Of course the sooner we go the better, so we can get familiar with the environment and the stage effects in advance."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay, let's go there tomorrow."

Guo Haitao stood up and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll arrange the plane right away."

Li Wenjun said: "No need to arrange a plane, we have our own private plane."

The private jet that Li Wenbin gave to Jiang Chen last time has been transferred to Li Wenjun's name. Then, he spent a lot of money to redecorate it inside and out, making it more suitable for travel and specifically for Jiang Chen's use. All maintenance costs are paid by Li Wenbin.

Although Jiang Chen hasn't been out recently and hasn't used it, the plane is parked in Rongcheng Airport. As long as Jiang Chen wants to go somewhere, he can set off at any time.

Guo Haitao said: "Okay, then we'll set off tomorrow!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay!"

He also wanted to finish this performance as soon as possible so that he could return to his relaxed life without any worries.

Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Chen Xiaojia, Pu Yuexi, Wang Jing and Li Wen all looked excited. They finally had real jobs. Recently, they just kept following Jiang Chen around every day, feeling a little bored and having nothing to do.

Now that Jiang Chen is out performing, they all have work to do.

Qin Xuerong decided to stay in Chengdu. There was no point in her going to North America, and it would also add burden to Jiang Chen. It was good for her to stay in Chengdu and look after this place.

Li Wenjun, Wang Fei and Sophia all decided to go along.

Sophia is a native North American and can take better care of Jiang Chen.

Early the next morning.

The group went to Chengdu Airport and boarded a plane directly to North America.

Guo Haitao and Luo Sheng also went along. Guo Haitao represented the program group, while Luo Sheng went to be with Jiang Chen in the hope that he could help with the music.

After all, Luo Sheng is also a producer and creator who has recently become popular again in the Chinese music scene. The singles he collaborated with Chen Xun, Zhou Ming, and Yuan Caiyi have all been very popular on music download platforms, with weekly sales exceeding 100 million. He has been regarded as the one who carried the sales of the Chinese music scene after Jiang Chen's seclusion.

Therefore, the program team invited Luo Sheng to go together so that when Jiang Chen needed help with creation and production, Luo Sheng could help.

Also traveling with them was Xiao Min, who was asked by Jiang Chen to go with Guo Haitao to serve as Jiang Chen's dancer. When the performance required dancing, Xiao Min would take part in the dance performance.

On the plane!
Xiao Min was very excited and said to Jiang Chen, "I have been practicing a lot of dance moves recently. If you have any dance requirements, I will definitely be able to do it. By the way, I have also learned the dance moves you performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Many street dance masters in China are learning your dance steps. It is very popular on the Internet. Everyone calls it Jiangchen Dance Steps."

Although the moonwalk that Jiang Chen performed on the Spring Festival Gala lasted only a dozen seconds, it became popular all over the country on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Many self-media and street dance masters who like dancing tried to learn and imitate it, and they actually learned it. It set off a craze on major self-media platforms, and everyone called it the Jiang Chen dance step.

Jiang Chen listened, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "That's good, but my requirements should not be difficult."

Xiao Min nodded, still feeling a little nervous. This was her first time stepping onto the international stage, and it was impossible not to be nervous.

Jiang Chen has been in seclusion recently, but she, Yuan Caiyi and others have been very busy. They have been on many shows and learned a lot of international information. They know that this World Championship is absolutely a big hit both at home and abroad. Countries around the world are looking forward to this World Championship. Once it is broadcast live, it will definitely set off a viewing frenzy around the world.

After all, the players in the major competition areas are all champions who have fought their way out of their respective countries, and each has the support of audiences in one country. The ten major competition areas combined almost cover the major population clusters in Asia, Europe and the United States, and they themselves already have a terrifying viewership base.

If the performance is great once it is broadcast, it will definitely set off a viewing frenzy around the world.

Then everyone who participates in the performance will gain huge attention and popularity.

Xiao Min didn't care much about popularity and attention. She cared about whether she would bring negative impact to Jiang Chen. She was worried that she would mess up the performance and drag Jiang Chen down, so she was quite nervous. Luo Sheng also chatted with Jiang Chen for a while, and his tone was quite complicated. Then he sat in front of the window and whispered to Guo Haitao: "It's a pity for Jiang Chen."

Although Jiang Chen has faded out of the entertainment industry during this period, the entertainment industry is still full of legends about Jiang Chen.

The two songs Jiang Chen performed on the Spring Festival Gala both achieved over 200 million downloads on the first day after their release, and now the number of downloads has exceeded 500 million!

Similarly, the download volume of all of Jiang Chen's songs has exceeded the 500 million mark, almost capturing the hearts of all young and middle-aged people in the country.

As long as there are people, Jiang Chen’s music can be found in China.

Jiang Chen's income from music downloads has reached tens of billions.

The number of views of all of Jiang Chen’s music on other self-media platforms continues to set records, and the copyright income it brings can also reach more than 10 billion!

and so.

Luo Shengcai said it was a pity for Jiang Chen to give up such a good situation.

However, he was secretly glad in his heart.

If Jiang Chen had not given up and faded out of the entertainment industry, many fans of Jiang Chen's music would have nowhere to go and no choice, and the sales of their other singles would not have been so high.

After hearing this, Guo Haitao smiled faintly, shook his head and said nothing more.

Because, compared to the income from pop music that Jiang Chen gave up, he knew that Jiang Chen's losses in the live broadcast circle were even greater.

The revenue of tens or even hundreds of billions from a live broadcast is given up, so the income from music downloads seems relatively small in comparison.

and……

Because Jiang Chen withdrew from the live broadcast circle, the valuation of the entire live broadcast field dropped significantly.

Now the entire capital circle is looking forward to the day when Jiang Chen returns. As long as Jiang Chen is willing to return, they will definitely offer a sky-high price to sign Jiang Chen.

Only after they lose something do they realize how precious it was.

The plane quickly arrived at the City of Angels Airport in North America.

The world competition venue is in this city, the world's entertainment center.

As soon as Jiang Chen's plane arrived at the airport, dozens of luxury cars drove into the airport and stopped in front of Jiang Chen's plane.

Many passengers on other planes were amazed when they saw this scene. They felt that even the President of North America did not receive such treatment when he appeared in public.

As for other top superstars, it is absolutely impossible.

but……

Who can afford such a show?
Dozens of luxury cars stopped, and the people getting out were familiar faces that most people knew.

Bowles was among them, followed by James and many other powerful and wealthy people in North America, who all came together to greet Jiang Chen.

When Jiang Chen got off the plane.

Powers excitedly stepped forward and gave Jiang Chen a warm hug. Feeling that Jiang Chen didn't like it, he quickly let go and said excitedly: "Dear Dr. Jiang Chen, welcome to the City of Angels. I have prepared a place for you to stay. It is definitely a quiet place that will satisfy you."

"I know you like quietness, so I will definitely not hold any welcome ceremony for you!"

Powers said excitedly.

Jiang Chen nodded, looked at the friendly faces coming out of the dozens of top luxury cars in front, and whispered, "Thank you, but we don't need so many people!"

Bowles smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't ask them to come. They came on their own. That one is James. He is eager to meet you because his daughter Lily is dying. He asked me to introduce you before, but I knew you didn't like it, so I didn't agree. This time he came on his own."

Jiang Chen nodded, knowing that the news that he was coming to North America was definitely not a secret in the eyes of the top figures. No one could stop him from coming. He ignored James and others who were coming over with smiles on their faces, and looked at Guo Haitao who was a little dazed behind him: "Director Guo, where is your car?"

Guo Haitao said hurriedly: "I'll call them in right now!"

Bowers said hurriedly: "No, since I'm here, of course I'll use my car. I've arranged a car for you, let's go!"

As he spoke, Bowles personally stepped forward and opened the door of a Rolls-Royce.

James and other wealthy and powerful people came over and wanted to talk to Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen didn't even look at them and got into the car directly.

Yan Ruyu and Han Qing also followed Jiang Chen into the car.

Li Wenjun, Sophia, Wang Fei, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, Wang Jing, and Xiao Min got into two other identical Rolls-Royces and drove to the manor that Bowles had bought specifically for Jiang Chen.

Guo Haitao and Luo Sheng got on the program crew's car and followed Bowles' convoy to the manor.

Luo Sheng asked in confusion: "Why are all these people here to welcome Jiang Chen?"

Luo Sheng also knew Bowles and knew that he was one of the richest people in North America with a net worth of over 100 billion US dollars.

Guo Haitao shook his head gently: "I don't know either. Some time ago, many top North American tycoons contacted me and wanted to sponsor our residence for Jiang Chen to live in! I thought they were all Jiang Chen's fans..."

Obviously, neither of them knew that Jiang Chen had cured Li Wenbin and Bowles. At their level, they were not able to access information of this level.

And those who know will not tell them easily.

Therefore, Chen Xun, Zhou Ming and Ye Lan did not tell them.

The two of them already knew in their hearts that there must be something they didn't know.

Otherwise, Jiang Chen would not be so popular in North America.

The convoy arrived at a huge manor on the outskirts of the City of Angels.

The exterior of the manor is covered with many redwoods, making it look somewhat like a Chinese-style building.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a temporary renovation. It was previously a Western-style manor, with some oriental elements temporarily added in, which looked a bit strange.

This was a temporary modification that Bowles had someone specially ask to be made some time ago.

Because of time constraints, this is all I can do.

If there is enough time, Bowles plans to directly tear down and rebuild a Chinese-style manor, which will definitely satisfy Jiang Chen.

All the furniture and decoration inside were also changed to Chinese style. (End of this chapter)
