Chapter 315: Fitness Coach?

Gaia hung up, leaving Chen Zhao feeling awkward.

 He did not know what had happened between Gaia and Morgery. The more they did not want to talk about it, the more curious Chen Zhao was.

 Humans are curious creatures. Given how reluctant Gaia and Morgery were to talk about it, Chen Zhao really wanted to know their past.

 Chen Zhao reached home before Fali did to prepare dinner.

 In the evening, Fali returned home. When she saw the dinner, she removed her jacket and hugged Chen Zhao.

 “How come you"re already back?”

 “I didn"t have much to do today,” Chen Zhao answered. “Do you want to shower first?”

 “No, I spent too much time in the sea today. Let"s eat first.”

 “I may need to leave for twenty-four hours in a few days" time,” Chen Zhao said.

 “Oh, to that place?”

 “Yup.”

 “When?”

 “I"m not sure yet.” Chen Zhao shook his head. He had already asked Obitos to tell his father about it.

 Chen Zhao was also unsure when Obitos could give him an accurate reply.

   …

 “Hi, Madam Wright.” Lucian bolted into Wright"s office.

 Wright pushed her gla.s.ses. Actually, she no longer needed them, but to avoid suspicion she still had a pair of fake gla.s.ses. “Lucian, what is it?”

 “Madam Wright, I"m here to explain to you the reason for applying for two hundred thousand dollars,” Lucian said.

 “Alright, please explain. Our college has been partic.i.p.ating in UC Games for many years. We"ve never needed two hundred thousand unless you want to stay in a five-star hotel during the compet.i.tion.”

 “Actually it"s a request from track and field. They would like to hire a coach. I heard that the coach is very expensive.”

 “Do you not have the details?”

 “I"m afraid not. In fact, I don"t even know who the coach is, but according to Grint, a long-distance runner from track and field, the coach they want to hire is very strong himself. He also has special training which can greatly increase the fitness of our athletes.”

 “How long will the coach be here? One year? Two? And how long do we need to see the results? How many students will he train?”

 “Err… I heard that the coach won"t be training too many students. He"ll only be carrying out very specific training for no more than twenty days.”

 “What? You want me to spend two hundred thousand just so that one or two students can have a chance to perform better in a single sports compet.i.tion? Mr. Lucian, please leave my office, because I"ll definitely not approve it.”

 Actually, even Lucian felt that it was too much, let alone Wright.

 He was a coach in the sports department too. Indeed, he had been a coach for several schools and was in charge of the sports department at the moment.

 Nevertheless, he had been a coach for secondary schools in the past. His annual salary was less than sixty thousand.

 Now, they wanted to hire a coach who cost two hundred thousand for just twenty days or even fewer.

 It was more like blackmailing. Even Lucian found it unbelievable, not to mention Wright.

 Track and field had been strongly requesting it, so he wanted to try it out.

 Just as expected, he only received a scolding from Wright.

 Lucian went to the track and field department. When Grint saw him, he immediately ran toward him. “Mr. Lucian, is the money approved?”

 Lucian shook his head. “You should know that the college will never approve it.”

 “I"m willing to take the money as a loan. When I become a professional athlete in the future, I"ll slowly return the money to the college.”

 Lucian gave a bitter smile. If a project was very promising, the college would surely invest in it for free.

 However, who could promise that Grint would certainly succeed?

 Moreover, while Grint had been achieving fantastic results in the college, there was still a significant difference between him and a professional athlete.

 Lucian shook his head and patted Grint"s shoulder, after which he left.

 Just then, Eveleigh walked up. “Grint, how did it go? Did the school approve it?”

 Grint shook his head. “No, there"s no way the school will.”

 “Will you take a personal loan from me?” Eveleigh suddenly suggested.

 “What?”

 “I"ll lend you the money, but you need to record down for me that person"s training methods and diet requirements.”

 “How about the interest?” Grint was really tempted to agree.

 “If you can unearth the secret of his training, I won"t charge you any interest, but you can"t, you"ll have to pay the bank interest.”

 “Alright… but I don"t have his number.”

 “I"ll get it for you.”

 “Also… are you sure it"ll work?” Grint was still somewhat hesitant.

 After all, two hundred thousand was not a small amount. Even his family could not afford it.

 If the training was effective, everything would be fine. He could become a professional athlete, achieve good results, and then pay the debt.

 However, if the training was ineffective, he would have a huge debt for the rest of his life.

 “That"s none of my business. If you"re willing to bet…”

 “It"s too risky… I need to think about it.” Grint still retreated.

 Although it was alluring, the consequences might be very severe.

 The huge debt was enough to ruin his life.

 Eveleigh shrugged her shoulders. She was just being curious.

 However, she would not waste two hundred thousand just to satisfy her curiosity.

 “Normans.” Eveleigh called Normans.

 “What?”

 “Are you sure that guy is a good coach?”

 “Yes, he"s an excellent one. As long as you follow his training and diet plans, it"ll be very effective.”

 “I want to hire him as my swimming coach, but I"m not sure if it"ll work.”

 “Oh, you"re afraid that you won"t improve?”

 “Of course. You told me how expensive it is. He took four hundred thousand from Uncle just for thirty days of slimming. I don"t think any coach in the world is paid as much as him.”

 “Wrong, NBA coaches are.”

 “But he"s no NBA coach. He"s only an illegal doctor, not even a professional coach.”

 “Then do you want it or not? If you do, I"ll help you to call him.”

 “Normans, why don"t you pay some of the fee for me? Look at how much you"re recommending him.”

 “No, I won"t benefit even if you improve. Why should I pay for you?”

 “We"re good sisters.”

 “Forget it. In my fattest three years, you only visited me thrice.”

 “Fine, but I still want to meet him in person and discuss it.”

 “When do you want to see him?”
