Chapter 922: Chapter 920: A Mom Who Dreams of Getting Rich Every Day 22

An Shuo Hai mentioned the refusal to participate in the competition, and Ah Chen was not surprised.

After all, her performance was indeed excellent among ordinary people, and the teacher didn’t want to give up on such a promising student.

This time, she also planned to have a good talk with An Shuo Hai about her decision to become a gaming coach.

"The guys you saw before, Dad, have now formed a team. They’re great at gaming and going professional is inevitable. Now, I’m their coach and will lead them down that path. Being a coach is something I love; it’s my lifelong dream," Ah Chen said with a steady face.

It’s quite normal for people to have many dreams.

Ordinary people have quite a long life, and she needs to find something she’s interested in. After all, the tasks the Commissioner requires her to complete are limited, and everything else is for her to arrange as she lives out her life in this world.

Seeing An Shuo Hai looking a bit confused, Ah Chen was patient and slowly explained the situation in this field, even selectively sharing some past information.

Most importantly, she also mentioned that achieving certain ranks brings substantial bonuses. Of course, having taken on the role of coach, she’s aiming for the championship.

She also brought up the fact that as a coach, she’s already started receiving a salary.

An Shuo Hai glanced at Ah Chen’s account balance, his eyes momentarily dazed. Hearing about gaming, as a traditional person, he indeed felt it was somewhat frivolous at first.

But after hearing his daughter’s explanation, he gradually understood that it was already a mature industry, even recognized by the country. The gaming industry provides jobs for many people and pays taxes to the country, making it no different from other industries, just fresher and more youthful.

Especially those hosts and commentators with high professional standards. Learning that many hosts and commentators are graduates from prestigious schools, An Shuo Hai put aside traditional prejudices and acknowledged the industry.

Until he saw that his 16-year-old daughter was earning a monthly salary of 100,000, he was bewildered.

"Can you really earn 100,000 as your salary?" An Shuo Hai asked softly, afraid his daughter was deceiving someone.

After all, that’s 100,000 a month; unbelievable. Wouldn’t it mean that the boss isn’t a fool?

Ah Chen laughed heartily, "Dad, the boss is wealthy and not foolish. The main thing is my significant role. With my assistance, their skills have improved tremendously. You have to trust my talent in this aspect. Just like my grades, anything else I pursue won’t fall short."

"Otherwise, would the teacher bring up letting me participate in competitions?"

An Shuo Hai composed himself. That’s right, her midterm exam was only one point short of a perfect score, almost perfect, with the Chinese teacher deducting just one point, not for foundational mistakes but in the essay.

With such excellent academic performance, it’s reasonable for his daughter to excel in her interests, isn’t it?

"Will it affect your studies?" he asked again.

Even if it looks quite promising financially, he couldn’t abandon traditional beliefs about the importance of academic performance.

Ah Chen replied, "I’ve been doing it for half a semester now. Dad, do you see any impact on my studies? Not only that, this time, the team captain even got third in the grade. This guy sits behind me, juggling both training and studying, and he’s kept up. He can still improve in the future."

Jian Mo spends considerably less time on studies than Pei Chen. Previously, his approach towards studies was quite casual, managing to maintain decent grades only because of his intelligence. Without Ah Chen’s supervision, he wouldn’t have made it into the top three of his grade. Given his frequent class absences and delays, scoring mid-tier would’ve been good enough. After all, even a genius needs to learn something.

As for Jian Mo, with a little more time, securing second in the grade is inevitable.

As for first place in the grade, that’s out of the question because it’s hers.

Pei Chen was quite frustrated this time; in the future, when surpassed by Jian Mo, he’ll likely grow even more frustrated. It’s fine; she couldn’t find other ways to target Pei Chen, who hadn’t done anything wrong, so letting him get frustrated over grades was an acceptable strategy.

"Dad, when you have time, you should come to our workplace for a visit, to see them play games and relax. Don’t just focus on earning money, after all, I can earn money too. If you need anything, just come to me," Ah Chen said, figuring that An Shuo Hai might feel guilty towards his child, as he’s been working particularly hard lately.

Even though she told him not to overwork himself, he wouldn’t listen.

Now, there’s finally a chance. This time, he should listen.

An Shuo Hai’s eyes were slightly wet. At that moment, he felt the unsettling feeling brought by that dream disappeared, and his heart was completely at ease.

"Okay, I’ll go have a look."

Even though he was at ease, he still cared about what kind of environment his daughter was working in.

That afternoon, Ah Chen took An Shuo Hai to the studio.

Seeing the tidy and neat place and the polite demeanor of Jian Mo and others, An Shuo Hai felt at ease. Moreover, they’d hired an auntie to handle some chores, which put him even more at ease.

"Our club is still in the process of selecting a location. We’ve already picked out a few good places. Once we confirm which one, we’ll buy or rent it for renovation," Jian Mo spoke up, "Uncle An is in the renovation business, right? I heard you’re good at it. When the time comes, can we ask you to handle it? You’re the coach’s dad; we trust you. If you do it, we won’t have to assign someone to supervise and lose training time. We need to train while maintaining our study progress."

Jian Mo, presenting himself as an obedient student who studies hard and manages a career, earned An Shuo Hai’s praise.

The rest of the group secretly gave Jian Mo a thumbs-up. Only their captain knew how to win over the coach’s father. With such words, who wouldn’t praise their captain as a good student?

Mentioning renovation, An Shuo Hai perked up, inquiring about the specifics.

After leaving the studio, An Shuo Hai was somewhat dazed. It wasn’t until he looked at the contract in his hand that he fully realized.

So, he came for one visit and ended up taking on a big project? From their previous conversation, the scale of the place needing renovation isn’t small, and he’ll handle both soft and hard furnishings. He was told it’s because he’s the coach’s dad, trustworthy in character and skill, giving everyone peace of mind.

Entrusted with such a significant responsibility, An Shuo Hai couldn’t help but feel reinvigorated.

Since the kids trust him so much, he certainly won’t let them down.

After parting with Ah Chen, he began to learn about the game Jian Mo and others were playing, spending time online to find information about relevant clubs, taking it incredibly seriously.

Now that An Shuo Hai agreed, Ah Chen had no more concerns.

The various subject teachers, however, felt a bit numb. Initially, they contacted An Chen’s parents hoping they could help persuade An Chen not to waste her talent. As it turned out, her dad said as long as she’s happy, she has her own plans. If it’s not something she likes, forcing her would make her unhappy.

He even said An Chen had already perfectly planned her life!

The subject teachers shook their heads in regret. Weren’t parents nowadays keen on pushing their kids? What’s up with An Chen’s dad?
