Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

Watching his uncle drive away in his brand-new million-dollar Mercedes, Li Ye got into his beloved old Accord.

More than an hour later, we arrived at the gate of Li Xiran's school.

Li Xiran was clearly delighted to see Li Ye's car. She waved to her two best friends and then skipped over.

"Brother, are you going home tonight?"

Li Xiran asked expectantly, "Can you take me to school tomorrow morning?"

In fact, she usually takes the bus or subway to and from school by herself.

It just feels different when my older brother picks me up and drops me off.

"I'm heading to Hangzhou after dinner tonight," Li Ye said regretfully, shaking his head.

Li Xiran let out an "Ah," and then pouted her little mouth in displeasure.

Li Ye couldn't resist reaching out and pinching him, which caused the high school student in the passenger seat to throw a tantrum like a child.

After dinner, Li Ye didn't stay long and went home to pack his luggage.

The reason he was in such a hurry to go to Hangzhou was not because he was addicted to it, nor because the organizers were urging him.

When Li Xiran has her National Day holiday, her uncle's family will also come to Hangzhou.

It would be terrible if his uncles arrived and saw him being knocked down by the waves.

Therefore, even if his uncle and aunt understood and respected him, they would never agree to him participating in the surfing performance competition.

Moreover, he also wanted to perform well in the exhibition match.

This time, CCTV is broadcasting it live.

Unfortunately, the learning environment in the dream space is fixed, so Li Ye had to go to Hangzhou for on-site adaptation training.

......

The following day, in Hangzhou.

Li Ye woke up early in the hotel and went to the hotel gym to work out.

At 8:30, he called for people to gather in the group chat.

Zhang Hai was accompanied by his assistant Chen Hu, as well as the filming team arranged by the Explorers.

Li Ye not only received a service fee from the organizer for participating in the Qiantang River Surfing Carnival, but Explorers also paid him an additional sponsorship fee.

One million!

If Li Ye can successfully participate in the exhibition match, he will receive an additional 500,000 yuan bonus.

There were absolutely no additional requirements, only love and appreciation for the spokesperson.

In addition, the explorers also tailored a new surfboard for Li Ye specifically for the conditions of the Qiantang River.

Because of Li Ye, Explorers also sponsored this surfing carnival.

At 9:10, Li Ye and his group arrived at the actual water area to acclimatize.

This is also the main waterway for the exhibition matches.

On the shore, the organizers were already waiting.

There were also two ambulances and medical personnel on standby by the roadside.

Several people were already practicing on the river, and many motorboats were speeding across the surface.

Some curious passersby also cast curious glances at it.

The person in charge of the event was named Luo Jiashu. He smiled broadly and warmly extended his hand to Li Ye: "Welcome, welcome, Teacher Li, thank you so much for coming."

"President Luo, you can call me A-Ye or Xiao-Ye, no need to be so polite." After shaking hands with the other party, Li Ye felt a little troubled.

Every time he meets someone new, they call him "teacher," and he gets a little too lazy to ask them to change how they address him.

"You're not being polite at all; it's only right."

Luo Jiashu held onto Li Ye's hand tightly, shook it a couple of times with a little force, and laughed heartily, "You have no idea how much exposure you've brought to our surfing carnival."

This is not just a polite remark.

This surfing carnival will not only feature surfing, but will also include a three-day music festival at nearby Century Park on October 3rd, the opening day, as well as a creative and trendy market suitable for all ages.

The news of Li Ye's participation in the music festival was officially announced yesterday, and the tickets that were initially difficult to sell were all sold out in less than an hour.

This is before the news has fully spread.

So far, they have received countless calls from audience members requesting more performances by Li Ye.

Increasing the number of performances is naturally impossible, Li Ye said that he currently only has three songs.

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Li Ye's thoughts were already involuntarily drawn to the river.

Even though it's not peak tide yet, the current tide is already quite large.

Most of them are about two meters tall, with the occasional one reaching three meters.

The waves were very strong, sweeping up large amounts of mud and sand from below, making the water extremely murky.

If you throw it into the water, it will definitely swallow sand.

Li Ye's attention gradually shifted back to the surfers.

My goodness, they're all amazing!

However, he was not intimidated. Given time to adapt, he believed he could compete for a spot.

Due to the influence of tides, the window of good waves is very short, so there is a limit to the number of participants in the exhibition matches.

Besides the several specially invited guests from home and abroad, there are five spots remaining.

To surf the Qiantang River, you need someone to drive a jet ski, and two people form a team.

Li Ye, full of enthusiasm, was unaware that he was already "predetermined" to be the one chosen.

Rather than increasing the number of performances at the music festival, Luo Jiashu hopes that Li Ye's surfing skills can reach the level required for the exhibition match.

This will bring a larger and continuous amount of exposure to the Surf Carnival brand.

The organizers and the Culture and Tourism Bureau have agreed that Li Ye will not compete for a spot.

Regardless of whether he looks handsome or not, or whether he can perform to a high standard.

As long as he can make a run on the Qiantang River and meet the safety requirements in terms of technique, he can get a spot outside of the fifth group.

The reason for not telling them in advance was naturally because they were worried that Li Ye might have wishful thinking and insist on being stubborn.

"Get in the water!"

Full of heroic spirit, Li Ye boarded the motorboat driven by Zhang Hai.

Two motorboats carrying the explorers followed nearby.

There was also a surfing expert arranged by the organizers. He was a foreigner and served as an assessor, also following behind in a jet ski.

Zhang Hai had already stated that in the official Qiantang River Surfing Competition, motorboat driving skills would account for as much as 40% of the competition.

Li Ye had already learned how to drive a motorboat in the dream space, but he could sense that Zhang Hai was much better at it than he was.

The motorboat seemed to fly across the water. Zhang Hai caught up with a wave and immediately slowed down.

Li Ye seized the opportunity, pushed the surfboard outwards, and jumped up, wanting to show off.

Unfortunately, his attempt to show off failed. He successfully stepped onto the surfboard but lost his balance and fell into the water.

Just as the evaluator shook his head, Li Ye quickly emerged from the water, returned to the board, and swiftly adjusted his posture.

Just now on the shore, he observed some differences between surfing and ocean surfing from the way some surfers took off.

This method of reading waves from a board is not entirely applicable here.

Those who successfully catch the wave mostly maintain a good posture after being thrown into the eye of the wave by the jet ski, and then burst into paddling the moment the wave comes in.

Li Ye's judgment was correct, and he successfully stood up.

However, he was still not used to the buoyancy and resistance of the Qiantang River, and the moment he stood up, the huge thrust of the tide made his body sway constantly, giving him no time to buffer as he would in the sea.

He managed to hold on for three seconds before being swept into the tide.
