"No.22..." with a relaxed expression, Dai Li continued.
"Enough!" Lefeng Gu roared. He could not bear it any longer. He came to embarra.s.s Dai Li, but in a twinkling, Dai Li gave him a bigger embarra.s.sment.
Dai Li stopped and looked at Lefeng Gu with a smile, interested in enjoying the indignation on his face.
"You are speaking all the time. Who knows if you"re right!" Lefeng Gu argued irrationally.
Dai Li shook his head with scorn, "If you think I was wrong, you can refute me. Give me your reasons, and convince me with truths."
Lefeng Gu said in his mind that he was not a table tennis coach, and that he was not Dai Li"s opponent in reasoning. That would also be self-humiliation. He looked at Yaozu Li, hoping him could come forward and refute Dai Li. After all, Yaozu Li was a professional table tennis player.
Seeing this, Lefeng Gu still did not react. He did want to refute, but he had no reasons and causes to do so at all. In front of the truth, refutation was foolish seeming, like a clown.
Lefeng Gu was not a fool either. Judging from Yaozu Li"s expression, Lefeng Gu realized that all the defects said by Dai Li just now were real, which is why Yaozu Li didn"t refute it.
I can"t believe this Dai Li indeed has some real skills, Lefeng Gu had a feeling of kicking and stubbing his toe on an iron plate.
In this bout, Lefeng Gu took a big beating. However, he was not the kind of person who could suffer any losses. He was usually arrogant and domineering. He always was a bully, and no one had bullied him before. Therefore, he couldn"t bear this.
Lefeng Gu groaned and continued to say irrationally, "Everyone can say anything just with his mouth. If you can, take the racket and play with Yaozu Li."
Not responding, Dai Li looked at Lefeng Gu with disdain.
People around also were looking at Lefeng Gu, as if seeing a joke. Lefeng Gu started this, but now he acted like he didn"t admit his loss, which was really quite ungracious.
This really embarra.s.sed Lefeng Gu. As the offspring of a wealthy family, he would rather throw money than lose face. Therefore, if he couldn"t get his face back, he obviously would not stop.
"Dai Li, you don"t have to listen to him. He is just such an irrational scoundrel," Yunan Xiao came beside Dai Li and said.
Lefeng Gu continued to bl.u.s.ter, "What"s wrong? You afraid? Tell me frankly if you"re afraid. Apologize to me and admit yourself as being a coward, then that"s the end! Or else, take that racket and compete with Yaozu Li!"
Lefeng Gu"s rascal behavior made Dai Li speechless. How could you reason with such a scoundrel?
Well, you act as a scoundrel, then I will act the same to you. Thinking of this, Dai Li said, "Lefeng Gu, you just asked me to guide Yaozu Li. Since you are a shareholder, I did as you asked. But I never thought that you would ask too much."
Pointing at Yaozu Li, Dai Li continued, "It"s fine that you want me to compete with him, but what can I get from it? Though you are a shareholder, you can"t raise my salary, and you are not involved in the management of the team. Why should I listen to your arrangement? Can anyone order others for free nowadays?"
"Don"t talk to me about cowardice. What you said doesn"t count. You want me to compete with him. Fine. What benefit can I get?"
Dai Li deliberately acted like a bourgeois, almost labeling "give me money" on his face.
"You want money, right? OK! I can give you that. I have nothing but money! Tell me, how much? One million? Two million? Just like giving it to beggars for charity!" Lefeng Gu said, as if an understatement.
"A billion!" Dai Li said.
"What did you say?" Lefeng Gu couldn"t believe what he heard.
"I said a billion! Give me a billion, then I"ll compete with him!" Dai Li said it clearly.
"Are you mad?" Lefeng Gu roared. The next second, he realized that Dai Li was teasing him deliberately.
"You can"t pay it, right? You just said you had nothing but money! How dare you pretend to be rich here, when you can"t take out such a little amount of money?" Dai Li looked at Lefeng Gu contemptuously.
A little money? Lefeng Gu had an urge to curse Dai Li"s mother. The expression on Dai Li"s face seemed to say: what you were going to do to me, even I had no money and I pretended to be something?!
People around could tell that Dai Li was teasing Lefeng Gu. Some people even had an understanding smile on their faces.
With this exact kind of face, Dai Li continued, "Since you are a shareholder of the team, I"ll give you a 15% discount, OK? You can"t pay this either?"
At this time, Lefeng Gu was really angry. Although he was used to being a scoundrel, he didn"t expect Dai Li could be like him. It was also 850 million, even with a 15% discount. He was indeed from a real rich family, but he couldn"t take out so much money right away. Obviously, Dai Li knew this. Therefore, he proposed this figure deliberately to humiliate him through this opportunity.
Dai Li still didn"t stop, and continued, "How about this? You take out the money, and I compete with Yaozu Li. If I lose, I give back all the money to you, or I take it. OK?"
"OK! That"s what you said! I"ll take that bet. I don"t believe you can defeat Yaozu Li!" Lefeng Gu said angrily.
"Then give me the money!" stretching out his hand, Dai Li went on, "Give the money first, in case you default!"
After Dai Li said this, even Yunan Xiao, who was beside him, couldn"t help but laugh. She never thought that such a gentleman like Dai Li could let Lefeng Gu suffer by playing the rascal. This Dai Li could be more scoundrelly than a scoundrel!
This moment, the word "default" like a lightning bolt, gave a critical strike on Lefeng Gu"s mind.
For him, this word was the biggest humiliation.
It was like a rich man went to a restaurant and ordered a share of caviar, but the waiter beside him mentioned its price. To the rich, this was obviously a doubt as to whether he could afford it or not. The rich man couldn"t stand this.
Even for an average person, when he took orders, the waiter mentioned that he couldn"t afford it. It was a fact that many people would be angry hearing this.
Doubting a second generation of wealth was like doubting if a guest could afford the dish. It was plain contempt.
Lefeng Gu bought anything he wanted all his life, like sports cars, yachts, and even private planes. How could it be a.s.sumed that he would default?
But n.o.body would go out to a party with a billion on their person! Therefore, when he saw Dai Li"s behavior, he was really angry, but could do nothing.
A scoundrel meets another! Neither is reasonable, Yunan Xiao thought in her mind, and was delighted to see Lefeng Gu being humbled. But she thought this farce should stop now, so she beckoned the manager on duty.
Running over quickly, the manager said with a respectful face, "Ms. Xiao, what can I do for you?"
"Move out this!" she said, pointing at the ping pong table.
"I"ll arrange it right now!" the manager paused and explained in a low voice, "Ms. Xiao, this was required by Master Gu. I had no choice..."
"I understand. You have difficulty with this kind of matter. Manage your own things," Yunan Xiao said.
The manager looked at her gratefully, then began to command waiters to move out the table.
However, how could it be possible for Lefeng Gu to let this chance go by? He said with a rush, "Wait a minute. Who told you to move this out?"
"Me!" standing up, Yunan Xiao said sharply, "Lefeng Gu, today is the celebration party of the Dingtian Club. If you want to play mad like the drunk, go back to your own place. Don"t be a disgrace here!"
"Well, well!" Lefeng Gu continued fiercely, "You just said benefit, right? OK! I give you benefit. Compete with Yaozu Li, and if you win, I agree on that equity distribution plan!"
Hearing equity distribution plan, Yunan Xiao"s expression involuntarily tightened, and the desire in her eyes flashed. Dai Li noticed.
Lefeng Gu just said equity distribution plan, and Yunan Xiao seemed to care about that very much, thinking of this, Dai Li asked in a low voice, "What"s an equity distribution plan? Is that important?"
Yunan Xiao also lowered her voice and explained, "Do you remember how I told you before that our club was seeking listing? The listing financing will dilute the original shareholders" equity. Therefore, before being listed, original shareholders should clearly distribute their equity respectively. Days before, I proposed an equity distribution plan about our team"s list to the other two shareholders, but the Jinsui Group didn"t agree on it. This affair is still under negotiation."
"Whether they agree to this equity distribution plan is important for the listing of the team, right?" Dai Li asked softly.
Yunan Xiao nodded, "Although it"s the first step, it"s also the root of the listing. If we can"t reach a consensus among our shareholders, we will not be able to list."
"Is he reliable, if he says he will agree on that equity distribution plan? Can he take the responsibility for that decision?" Dai Li continued to ask.
"Why do you ask this?" Yunan Xiao asked him immediately.
"I want to help you," Dai Li responded without hesitation. "If he can take the responsibility, I"ll go and compete with Yaozu Li, to help you win back the equity distribution plan."
"You don"t have to do this. You"re just a coach. The management of the team is not your duty," Yunan Xiao said.
However, Dai Li said with a smile, "I want to help you all the time, but I"m just a coach. I can"t help you, neither in business nor in management of the team. But today, finally, I get the opportunity to help you!"
Yunan Xiao felt some special meaning behind Dai Li"s words. Her face seemed to be reddish, and she asked softly, "Why? Is it worth?"
"Absolutely! Don"t worry. I"ll win. You just need to make sure Lefeng Gu can keep his promise," trying to wear a relaxed expression, Dai Li said jokingly, "Don"t forget that, in others" eyes, I am your boyfriend. It"s about love, and we must pay for each other!"
After finis.h.i.+ng this, Dai Li turned to the ping pong table.
"Pay for each other..." Yunan Xiao repeated these words lightly. Looking at the back of Dai Li obsessively, she felt a sense of safety this moment. She felt that Dai Li was the man she could really rely on...
