Chapter 282 - 257: Top-Level Coach
Washington, the moon hanging high in the sky.
Strings of orange lanterns lined the street, flanked on both sides by Chinese-style buildings with red walls, yellow tiles, and upturned eaves adorned with glazed tiles. Various billboards flashed with colorful lights, and many storefronts displayed couplets written in black brush strokes.
This was the renowned Chinatown of Washington, freshly lit as evening began and the streets started to fill with people.
"Haha, come in, please."
Qian Lichuan greeted the two men in front of him with warmth, none other than Wu Li and Chen Gang.
That night, Chen Gang had mentioned that it was best to inquire about signing with a professional team from someone within the circle. Wu Li agreed, so Chen Gang helped to inquire. Learning that Song Yidong was currently in the United States, they contacted him to see if they could meet.
Song Yidong, also from Hua Country, was 23 years old. At the age of 10, he was sent to Shaolin Martial Arts School to study Traditional Martial Arts. By 12, he got into Sandboxing and by 15, he had signed with a local Martial Arts club. After several competitions in his home country, UFC noticed him at 20, and through selection competitions, he was successfully signed.
Over the years, there have been about twenty or so Hua Country fighters signed with the UFC, and among the male fighters, Song Yidong had the best record. Competing in the Featherweight division in UFC, his current record stood at 5 wins and 1 draw, maintaining an undefeated streak.
Chen Gang managed to acquire the phone number of Song Yidong’s agent, Qian Lichuan, and called him directly. Upon hearing that Wu Li was coming, Qian Lichuan promptly agreed to meet and arranged to meet that evening at a well-known Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, ready to welcome and refresh Wu Li.
Qian Lichuan led the way, walking into a private room.
The first thing seen was a resting area – a large space with seven or eight big sofas.
