Chapter 938: Chapter 936: A Mom Who Dreams of Striking It Rich Every Day 38
Sure, here’s the translation:
Ah Chen made quite a few acquaintances during this competition, having made some shallow friendships.
One day, while she happened to be free, the female host Lu Ying invited her out shopping. Lu Ying, also very young, was in her early twenties, studying at a media school and hadn’t graduated yet. Being able to host here naturally meant she was talented.
Ah Chen sensed there might be something going on inside, but she didn’t refuse.
While shopping, Lu Ying chatted a lot with Ah Chen, indirectly probing for information. However, trying to get something out of Ah Chen proved that Lu Ying was still a bit inexperienced.
Eventually, as their outing was about to end, Lu Ying realized things couldn’t continue like this and decided to lay things on the table.
"Sis, do you want to make a big sum of money?" Lu Ying asked in a low voice. "You’re currently coaching Canglan; you probably don’t earn much, right?"
Canglan hadn’t released its salary details to the public, and initially, no one paid attention to these, so naturally, no one asked about it.
Who would turn down free money?
Ah Chen raised an eyebrow, "Sister Ying, what do you mean?"
"As long as you do certain things during the game, you’ll get a big payout, fifty thousand for one match, depending on your performance," Lu Ying continued, "Nowadays, it’s not easy to earn fifty thousand easily. Think about it, let me know if you’re interested. If it’s about the price, we can negotiate."
Lu Ying didn’t go into specifics, merely dangling a piece of meat in front of Ah Chen, tempting her. The other was just sixteen or seventeen, an inexperienced girl. Hearing about fifty thousand with room for negotiation might be enticing, right?
Ah Chen watched Lu Ying leave, and quickly returned to the hotel.
She had just stepped inside when Jian Mo came forward, earlier she had sensed eyes from upstairs, likely Jian Mo paying attention.
"Coach, the boss has been worried about you; ever since you went out shopping, he couldn’t concentrate on anything, sitting by the window staring at his phone and outside, waiting for you to come back." Ma Xuan jumped out from behind, speaking with a bit of cheek.
Jian Mo wanted to give him a couple of punches but, with Ah Chen around, merely gave him a fierce look.
"Let’s go, I brought you all some good food." Ah Chen raised the items in her hand as she entered the room, and while distributing the things, she said, "Lu Ying asked if I wanted to make a big sum, mentioning fifty thousand per match, with negotiable pricing. She didn’t mention other details, and was quite cautious."
Everyone fell silent; now they weren’t newbies and understood the underlying meaning.
Have to admit, both their coach and Teacher Xiao Qi were indeed very capable; they taught everything, so now it’s hard for ordinary people to fool them.
In cases like this, the coach had already warned them before.
Don’t think you can simply take the money; there might be deeper issues involved, resulting in disappearing from this industry, even becoming notorious.
The ones wanting to mess with you don’t care about the methods they use.
Money and beauty, these can all become temptations. Before interests, anything can happen.
Because Jian Mo arranged for bodyguards, they hadn’t yet encountered any worrying situations.
"Someone really wants to bribe the coach? No matter how rich, can they overcome our boss?" Ma Xuan laughed out loud.
Jian Mo seriously nodded, "Whatever they offer the coach, I’ll give ten times more."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ah Chen shook her head, "I haven’t agreed with them, why are you in a hurry? Is this how you spend your money?"
"It’s a lot anyway, spending some on the coach isn’t a bother." Jian Mo chuckled, his face no longer stern.
"I feel it must be Wuji Team; they’ve contacted the other two teams that made it to the semifinals, and they seem okay. Heard some rumors before about Wuji Team buying off players from other teams." Chi Fang said.
"It doesn’t matter who it is; we’re not going to agree regardless." Xie Musheng said.
"These things happen in every industry, no need to be overly angry, there are too many, you can’t be angry about them all. We’ll stick to ourselves, no matter what happens, as long as the captain stands at the front, what are we afraid of?" Shen Xiaoju took a chicken paw and started gnawing on it, completely unconcerned.
"Whether it’s Wuji Team or not, we’ll give it our all and beat them thoroughly." Jian Mo said, he always remembered last year’s grudges, now he finally has the chance to personally take revenge on the field and has thought about how to crush them.
Let them belittle people, take money, and still slack around, scoffing at people during live streams. Whether it’s team two or team one, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s Wuji Team.
Since it’s about gaming, resolve it within the game.
They usually study all teams, but Jian Mo put a lot of effort into Wuji Team, researching each member.
"Exactly, aim to shut them out completely!"
"Speaking of which, we haven’t shut out a team because we’ve been trying those quirky and unpopular lineups to see their effects."
"Let Wuji Team be the first to get egged!"
"Hahaha, great, let’s egg them."
"Anyway, if it hadn’t been for team one not showing up, team two wouldn’t have slacked off, beating team one is always right, besides, they’re weak, that’s why they get beat."
"As for team two, didn’t we carpool against them last time? Easily crushed! Though back then, we didn’t yet have the prefix Canglan, they probably don’t know it was us they encountered."
"Judging by their reaction, they’re likely unaware, they’ve probably long forgotten they once competed with us."
Ah Chen watched everyone passionately discussing, her face smiling.
Pretty good, competitions require such vigor.
They were strong, but also needed to be fiery.
Yet there’s no need to worry, considering 997 trained a virtual team to discipline them whenever they got arrogant, making sure they didn’t get complacent.
Winning a championship outside doesn’t matter!
Disobedience at home still results in getting beaten.
Originally, amidst their chatter and laughter, everyone felt a bit of chill down their back, subconsciously looking at Ah Chen. Every time they felt this, it meant the coach thought they were getting a bit arrogant and was preparing to discipline them.
Have they been arrogant and complacent lately?
Even against weaker teams, they haven’t been sloppy, playing relaxed but avoiding unwarranted errors.
So perhaps that feeling was just a mistake?
Why would the coach discipline them out of the blue?
Ma Xuan lightly elbowed Jian Mo, "Boss, if the coach wants to discipline us, why don’t you ask for leniency."
"We haven’t made mistakes recently; find out what’s going on."
Jian Mo was amused, good fellows, was this how they treated him as the boss?
But Jian Mo still snuggled next to Ah Chen, casually gave her a chicken wing, "Coach, have a chicken wing."
"I heard there are many delicacies around here; how about we sample them first before heading back once it’s over?"
Ah Chen accepted the chicken wing, "Alright."
"We’ll go then, not telling them, every time they mess up it’s me who faces it, not so righteous of them."
"We’ll sneak off, not letting them know."
"Coach, I’ve never made any mistakes, right? Consider this a reward for me."
Ah Chen was amused, her eyes curving with a nod, "Alright, will bring you along."
Ma Xuan was already saying, "See, I knew once the boss stepped in, he could always entice the coach to be agreeable."
Observer 997 found it hard to comment, silly, your boss is prepping to whisk the coach away alone, and you’re there laughing foolishly.
