80: Chapter 80 Because We Have…

Bo Jingshen hung up the phone, and Su Lu looked at the abruptly ended call, pursing her lips slightly.

Was he so angry that he even hung up the phone?

Jiang Li, noticing that she had finished the call, finally spoke up, “You’re going to get me in trouble.”

After thinking for a moment, Su Lu cautiously replied, “It shouldn’t… probably isn’t that serious, right?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Li took out his phone, which was buzzing insistently.

He unlocked the screen to find a picture message from Bo Jingshen.

In the image, on a dark walnut desk lay two red velvet banners, with the gold-lettered inscription: “Generous Samaritan and Enthusiastic Citizen Mr.

Bo.”

Su Lu gasped in surprise, and Jiang Li also froze, clearly both taken aback.

What Su Lu thought: No way, did he really do it?

Did he actually send it?

What Jiang Li thought: No way, did it that quickly?

Delivered it so fast?

Su Lu glanced at her own phone, recalling the call that had just been cut off, and thought that it made sense.

Bo Jingshen must have called because of receiving that banner, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it was to tease him with the nickname from his past.

It was like a double blow; no wonder he got angry.

Su Lu and Jiang Li exchanged glances, but neither said a word.

Xiang Tiancheng came over, oblivious to their mood, and greeted them with a warm smile, “How about it?

Did Second Young Master Jiang and Mr.

Su find the test interesting?

This is just the first hurdle for selecting our youth training candidates; later on, we will also evaluate his individual skill in the game as well as his ability to work with the team, and so on.”

Su Lu nodded, “It’s quite interesting.”

Honestly, Su Lu found it far more interesting than those uniform projects she had done before.

“If you two are not too busy, shall we talk in the conference room?” Xiang Tiancheng tentatively asked.

Su Lu didn’t mind, casting a sideways glance at Jiang Li, waiting for his opinion.

Jiang Li nodded, “Sure, let’s have a chat.”

Xiang Tiancheng’s eyes lit up immediately, “Please, this way!”

Su Lu and Jiang Li headed out first, and after they left, Ying Xi leisurely walked out.

Ying Xi said to Xiang Tiancheng, “I’ll just…”

Before he could finish, Xiang Tiancheng lowered his voice and cut him off, “You come along too, don’t even think about slacking off.”

Ying Xi frowned, and as Xiang Tiancheng saw his expression, he thought Ying Xi was going to refuse.

Xiang Tiancheng was prepared for the next words, but surprisingly, Ying Xi only furrowed his brows and nodded, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t go.”

This slightly astonished Xiang Tiancheng, “So cooperative today?”

“If you don’t need me to cooperate…” Ying Xi replied coldly.

Xiang Tiancheng quickly gestured with his hands, hurrying to catch up with Jiang Li and Su Lu.

Ying Xi, hands in his pockets, followed at a leisurely pace.

Xiang Tiancheng led them to the conference room, passing through the training area.

The doors of the training room had a half-panel of transparent glass, and Su Lu glanced inside.

Within sight were high-end computers with large screens, sophisticated peripherals and gaming chairs, alongside young players.

Xiang Tiancheng was always very polite, and his attitude was extremely good.

“I know that Second Young Master Jiang’s intended club includes one other than ours.

But at present, our Lie Ying has undoubtedly the best prospects,” Xiang Tiancheng said.

This was not Xiang Tiancheng boasting.

Their club indeed had the confidence to make such a statement.

Not to mention anything else, just Ying Xi alone granted them this privilege.

Su Lu had also looked over Jiang Li’s plans; even though there were two clubs in consideration, the other was purely to make up the numbers.

From the start, Jiang Li had his sights set on this club.

The base was also in Feng City, their overall strength was good, and they had the likes of Ying Xi.

Plus, Su Lu thought, after all…

he was Second Young Master Jiang’s die-hard fan; that ought to be worth some extra points here.

However, in front of Xiang Tiancheng, Jiang Li managed to keep his composure.

It had to be said, as the young master of the Jiang Family, he’d been steeped in this from childhood; he was a playboy when he wanted to be, but he seemed to have an innate talent for business and negotiations.

Xiang Tiancheng could not get any favorable terms from him, neither in price nor in other conditions.

Sweat beaded on Xiang Tiancheng’s forehead; clearly, he had not expected this young master to be so difficult.

As for Jiang Li, he was more than capable.

He had the air of someone who might not care about money, but also did not want to be seen as an easy mark to take advantage of.

By the end, Xiang Tiancheng felt that Second Young Master Jiang was practically acting shamelessly!

Xiang Tiancheng could only turn to Su Lu, hoping that Mr.

Su would be easier to deal with than Second Young Master Jiang.

After all, Su Lu was a woman, and a gentle and beautiful one at that.

Her image, in such negotiations, was always easy to underestimate.

Su Lu was accustomed to this, so when she saw Xiang Tiancheng throwing the conversation her way, she guessed his thoughts.

Xiang Tiancheng still wanted to raise the price and nearly repeated the same speech he had with Jiang Li, just with different wording, hoping to get a satisfactory response from Su Lu.

But instead, he saw this woman—who he had never really taken seriously, thinking she was just tagging along with Second Young Master Jiang without much say—pull out a stack of documents from her briefcase, along with a pen.

Opening the documents, her voice remained soft, but her words were calm and powerful.

“I’ve looked through your information and have taken stock of the current situation in the industry.

I can safely say that right now, the most valuable asset for your club is Ying Xi, ‘hope,’ right?”

Hearing Su Lu start off like this, Xiang Tiancheng felt a twinge in his heart, sensing that perhaps he had approached the wrong person.

Especially since at this moment…

Jiang Li had a smile on his face that seemed both teasing and nonchalant, making Xiang Tiancheng even more uneasy.

Yet Su Lu remained calm and composed, speaking neither too fast nor too slow, not aggressive or confrontational.

“This is also your club’s biggest capital.

The presence of ‘hope,’ his fame, popularity, professional level, and stability, can bring immense commercial value,” Su Lu said, looking up from the documents towards Xiang Tiancheng, her voice even calmer.

“To put it bluntly, his energy alone is worth more than all the other players in your club put together,” Su Lu calmly inquired, “I’m not wrong, am I?”

She sounded so modest, as though she really didn’t understand much, didn’t know the details, just had a general idea and hoped to be affirmed by the other party.

Xiang Tiancheng braced himself and nodded slightly, about to speak.

Then he saw Su Lu smile, “But, ‘hope’s’ transfer period is coming up soon.

If we can’t come to an agreement, even our intended offer for ‘hope’ alone would be more than enough.”

Xiang Tiancheng said uneasily, “But you don’t have a club, and Lie Ying is his team; he won’t agree to it.”

Su Lu shrugged her shoulders, “Well, that’s not necessarily true, because we have Bao Jing.”
