Regarding the Flying Fish Cup, Shi Guang and Zhang Shulin had initially been facing it with a somewhat relaxed attitude. After all, the competition was only a preliminary heat. But now that the top three spots were going to get into the selection test for the provincial team, Shi Guang and Zhang Shulin could not help but suddenly get serious about it, entering a battle status.
During this period of time, Boss Lei had been particularly happy. The club had welcomed a new investor, and hence, Boss Lei was all smiles to everyone.
Because the new investor wanted to visit the club in the afternoon, Boss Lei had asked Shi Guang and another athlete over to welcome him. Since Shi Guang did not have to give Lu Yanchen lessons that afternoon, she agreed to it.
However, she would have never guessed that the new investor was actually Yang Chifeng! Instantly, her petite face turned extremely terrible looking.
The first thought that struck her mind was that Yang Chifeng had a motive for investing in the club.
As for something like courting her, that was something that she would never believe no matter what. Helping his sister to bully her and get back at her? That seemed more plausible.
Through the entire duration, Shi Guang merely followed around Boss Lei’s side with a sullen face. However, it was no use no matter how much of a low profile she tried maintaining. After all, it was all because of her that he was investing here.
When Boss Lei said that he wanted to bring Yang Chifeng around the place to take a look, the latter suggested Shi Guang to bring him around.
Naturally, she did not agree to it.
In Boss Lei’s heart, he had already long ascertained that she was someone that Lu Yanchen was backing. Hence he would not insist on Shi Guang going over to entertain Yang Chifeng as well. He then spoke cheerily, “Mr. Yang, how about letting Zixian bring you around instead?”
Zixian–full name Xu Zixian–was the other athlete here to welcome Yang Chifeng.
The moment Xu Zixian heard that, she smiled out, “Mr. Yang, this way please!”
Yang Chifeng did not even look at her as he maintained his gaze on Shi Guang, saying in a deep tone, “I only want you to bring me around.”
Immediately, Xu Zixian’s face turned somewhat awkward as she looked at Boss Lei, who was taken aback as well.
What was going on over here? Could Yang Chifeng have taken a liking to Shi Guang as well? This would be difficult…!
Shi Guang’s face was cold.
What was the meaning of this? He was really here to seek trouble!
Whoever wanted to could bring him around. In any case, she was not going to do it!
It did not matter to her whether Yang Chifeng invested in the club or not. However, it did to Boss Lei. He did not want to offend this God of Fortune that had just sent himself knocking on their doorsteps!
He chuckled out apologetically before pulling Shi Guang to the side and whispering, “What are you doing? This is going to be an investor in our club! With that attitude of yours, who is going to dare invest in our club in the future? Without investors, how am I going to pay your salaries? Even if you don’t think for my sake, you would have to think for your own sakes!”
Shi Guang turned her head away.
Looking at how going the hard way was not going to work out, Boss Lei started going soft. “Shi Guang, my club hasn’t been earning as much as it has been paying out in the past few years. It’s with much difficulty that I’ve finally got a new investor. And yet, you’re behaving like this? Do you really wish to see me go bankrupt?”
Shi Guang bit down on her lips, feeling uncomfortable all over. She really didn’t want to do it, but she knew she had to give Boss Lei face no matter what.
In the end, she begrudgingly agreed to show Yang Chifeng around.
She brought him for a tour around the entire club in a really official manner, giving robotic introductions just like an emotionless robot. But, no matter how coldly he was being treated, Yang Chifeng was still all smiles. Suddenly, he came to a stop and looked at Shi Guang with deeply emotional eyes.
Shi Guang’s face stiffened as she looked at him with a wary expression. “Are you done with the tour now? If you are, can I leave now?”
With that said, she wanted to leave. However, Yang Chifeng grabbed her wrist almost immediately.
Shi Guang’s face turned black instantly. “What are you trying to do!” She then forcefully flung her hand free from him.
Yang Chifeng expressed his helplessness. “What do you think I’m trying to do? I merely want to court you.”
“Fufu,” Shi Guang looked at him sarcastically. “Does your girlfriend, SU YA, know about that?”
