Chapter 137: Chapter 137: In What Capacity Are You Concerned About Ji Tian?
“What did you say?” Ji Tian’s pupils widened in shock.
Zhan Yi, with his stern face, spoke without a smile, “Become our coach at YXC. The preliminaries for the world competition are in February next year. Hua Country has a civil war in November to select three teams to register for the competition. It has always been teams from the Central Continent representing Hua Country, but they lose in the group stage every time. They fix matches; they don’t really want to win!”
“But comparatively, our strength is much weaker than theirs. Rest assured, I won’t let you suffer any loss…”
Ji Tian: “… Where is your original coach?”
Zhan Yi, expressionless, responded, “Oh, I fired him. I call the shots in this club. If you can lead us to the world competition, how about I give you one million? If we win the championship, how about five million?”
Ji Tian’s eyes lit up: “Deal!”
Money, can’t miss it!
Ji Tian was skilled at gaming in the past but had never thought of going professional, though she had some understanding of the circle.
The domestic champion could earn millions, and if it’s a world champion, the prize is calculated in tens of millions.
Ji Tian thought this deal made sense for her, considering it mutually beneficial.
She slung her bag over her shoulder and turned to Zhan Yi, “I’ll leave Quan Jingyou with you for now. Train him well. And about me becoming a coach, draft a contract first. I fear you might deceive me; I’ll come back tomorrow.”
“…”
Zhan Yi nodded, showing no objections.
Quan Jingyou watched Ji Tian’s departing figure with mixed feelings. He hadn’t met anyone who could earn money like Ji Tian. But if Ji Tian joined the team as a coach, it meant she would be coaching him, too. He’d also entered the club, and though it wasn’t a Central Continent team, it was still one of the top teams in the country. Quan Jingyou felt relieved; after all, he had paid his tuition.
At that moment, he didn’t know that what awaited him was grueling devil training.
…
Imperial City Academy
Because Ji Tian hadn’t appeared all morning in class, it was only after inquiring did they learn she had taken leave.
After having lunch, Qin Jiangsheng headed straight to the back garden. With Ji Tian absent, his life reverted back to the way it was before, when no one greeted him, but he didn’t mind. In the back garden, he saw Shen Zhiyi.
She was standing with Ji Weinan, talking about something.
Shen Zhiyi stopped talking when she saw him. She usually didn’t approach him, following “008’s” advice, but it was Ji Weinan who frowned and approached, “Qin Jiangsheng, do you know where my little sister went?”
Qin Jiangsheng glanced at him lightly: “I don’t know.”
Ji Weinan clearly didn’t believe him: “She usually gets along so well with you; how could you not know her whereabouts? If something happens to her outside, I won’t let you off!”
Qin Jiangsheng couldn’t help but scoff: “Do you even care about your sister?”
Perhaps hitting a sore spot, Ji Weinan raised his hand as if to strike him, but fortunately, Shen Zhiyi pulled him back, preventing a one-sided assault. She stood in front of Ji Weinan, and Qin Jiangsheng’s fingers rubbed slightly, relaxing his clenched fist.
Shen Zhiyi’s gaze swept over his attractive face, which was heart-poundingly lovely no matter how often one saw it. What a pity that Qin Jiangsheng was so cold, an unapproachable kind of cold.
She felt somewhat envious of Ji Tian, unsure what method she used to get so close to Qin Jiangsheng. She had an eighty percent attractiveness to the opposite sex, but she could not attract Qin Jiangsheng’s gaze.
She took a deep breath: “We’re just worried about Student Ji. Ah Nan is too anxious. She only came in the morning and then disappeared. Ah Nan can’t contact her, so we came to ask you.”
“And what right do you have to care about Ji Tian? Ji Weinan’s girlfriend?” Qin Jiangsheng responded coolly.
This caused Shen Zhiyi to blush awkwardly; how could she possibly like Ji Weinan? Without a second thought, she denied: “Ah Nan and I are just good friends. He’s anxious, so of course, I’m anxious too. Ah Nan, isn’t that right?”
Ji Weinan, with a despondent look in his eyes, finally responded lightly: “Hmm.”
Qin Jiangsheng walked past both, “I don’t know where she is.”
Shen Zhiyi watched Qin Jiangsheng walk away, thinking of the plot in her head. In the future, when Qin Jiangsheng reappeared as an adult, he’d have the capability to compete with Bai Tingyu, and he also had a mysterious organization backing him, engaging in unsavory activities and leading it.
And now, only a few months remained until he became an adult.
He still hadn’t disappeared as he should have by now.
If he were to be completely discredited or made to disappear completely, would the storyline return to its original trajectory?
Would the butterfly effect he caused disappear?
The more Shen Zhiyi thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. She turned to Ji Weinan: “Ah Nan, go find your sister or call your family to ask. After all, skipping class is not a trivial matter. If Student Ji gets mixed up with the wrong people outside, it wouldn’t reflect well.”
Ji Weinan hadn’t considered this angle at all; Ji Tian was grown up and not one to lack understanding. Plus, she had gone out with Quan Jingyou, who liked to hang out in places like bars, his thoughts gradually softened: “It shouldn’t be… My little sister is very obedient.”
Shen Zhiyi sighed: “If that were the case, she wouldn’t have left the school without telling you a word. You’re her brother; it’s understandable to worry about her. To avoid irreversible consequences, you should speak to your older brother about it. Spending so much money to study at this school, don’t waste it.”
Ji Weinan felt uncomfortable hearing Shen Zhiyi’s words, but on reflection, he figured they made sense. With money, one should cherish it even more. Shen Zhiyi’s family was poor yet she lived so earnestly. Compared to her, they were just idling away, achieving poor grades, indeed wasting money.
He coughed lightly, feeling inferior mentally: “I’ll, I’ll go talk right now.”
Shen Zhiyi turned and left only after Ji Weinan had walked away.
“008, help me check what Qin Jiangsheng has been up to recently.”
008 quickly responded: [Searching for personal activity track—Black City A3 District. Qin Jiangsheng frequents this place. Host can find clues here.]
Black City A3 District?
Isn’t that the largest black market in the Capital City?
The place was a mix of all kinds, most dealing in smuggled goods. Shen Zhiyi had never been there but had heard that the wealthy from Capital City loved to go there to hunt for treasures.
She slightly lowered her gaze, pondered for a moment, and then made up her mind; she was going to expose Qin Jiangsheng’s faults, ideally making him disappear completely from the Capital City.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiangsheng had made a phone call; the other end was noisy with sounds of men and women.
Qin Jiangsheng didn’t even have to think with his toes to know that Qu Rong was at a bar flirting again. That man was all fun and no responsibility, which is why those girls looking for marriage got no response and simply dumped him.
Of course, another reason was that he wasn’t wealthy.
What do you think?
