Jiao Yuchen's words almost made Lu Yu jump up and down on the spot. "It's just in time for Xiao Yu to arrive. Coach Wang was just about to ask someone to call you over. Yu Yin and I came over to send out wedding invitations to your team."

[Inviting the Qingbei team to the wedding will definitely make Tengyue the center of attention; there's nothing I can't accomplish.]

The bright red wedding invitations on the coffee table were dazzling.

Lu Yu instantly understood what Jiao Yuchen was planning, but she didn't know what Jiao Yuyin's strategy was. She could only bite the bullet and say, "Coach, the national league starts in October, and I was afraid it would affect the team's preparations, so I haven't mentioned the wedding yet."

Lu Yu, having studied human nature for so many years, understood the principle that one should always be wary of others.

In short, she explained to the coach why she didn't send invitations directly to the team, while also leaving Jiao Yuyin with an open question.

If Jiao Yuchen came to the team on his own initiative, Jiao Yuyin could take this opportunity to stop this inexplicable invitation.

Jiao Yuyin remained silent, only smiling at Lu Yu and gesturing for her to sit next to him.

Coach Wang spoke first: "That's alright, Xiaoyu. We'll go and come back the same day, it'll only take one day."

With the help of the Jiao family, the Qingbei team's facilities can also be significantly improved.

Jiao Yuyin continued, "It's an honor to have Coach Wang and Qingbei players attend our wedding. I hope it won't interfere with the team's training, otherwise Lu Yu will definitely feel guilty."

Lu Yu echoed twice.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jiao Yuyin mentioned the matter of Tengyue Sports' promotional ambassador.

"Lu Yu is just a figurehead at Tengyue; her heart and soul are focused on playing volleyball, so Coach Wang can rest assured."

Coach Wang was also a shrewd person. He immediately understood Jiao Yuyin's attitude and said, "Xiaoyu is in her prime right now. You can't let her run away with you."

Lu Yu listened to the insincere conversation and felt drowsy until Jiao Yuchen and Coach Wang talked at length about the cooperation plan. Only then did she understand Coach Wang's true feelings.

Tengyue has become the latest co-sponsor of the Qingbei team. Although it is not the team's official name sponsor, the Qingbei team is very active in promoting the cooperation.

There are still many matters to be discussed regarding the cooperation between Tengyue and Qingbei team.

Jiao Yuyin finished his tea. "Coach Wang, you and my second brother can talk slowly. My second brother will be in full charge of the Tengyue matter. He's always been the most reliable person in the family, so you can rest assured. Lu Yu and I have other things to take care of, so we won't keep you any longer."

After exchanging pleasantries and saying goodbye, Jiao Yuyin took Lu Yu's hand and they left the office together.

Half a month later, Lu Yu finally returned to the Grapevine Courtyard.

Lu Yu picked two bunches of grapes, washed them, and nestled on the living room sofa, eating them while complaining, "Today was terrifying! Wedding news, brand ambassador news..."

Jiao Yuyin paused in wiping the coffee table, his voice tinged with apology. "The ambassadorship was a decision made on Jiao Yuchen's own initiative. I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

Lu Yu didn't care much. "It doesn't matter. Your brother is such a jerk. Boss, how are we going to get revenge?"

“Not yet. He’s doing this to test whether I intend to compete with him in the sports market. If I tolerate this, he and my father will understand. Jiao Yuchen, he’s just too shrewd.” Jiao Yuyin’s gaze was deep.

Lu Yu curled his lip and said, "What a lazy rich kid, he can tolerate this."

“Being intolerant of anything will only hasten the demise of the weak.” Jiao Yuyin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lu Yu, then said, “I didn’t let him get away with it for free. You’re the nominal ambassador, with a two million yuan fee for a one-year term. My dad, Jiao Yuchen, and I have already agreed on it. It’s on you personally. Assistant Qin will handle the follow-up. You just need to sign the papers then.”

"This works?"

"Even between brothers, accounts should be settled clearly." Jiao Yuyin added two more instructions: "Also, no matter how the cooperation between Tengyue and Qingbei teams proceeds in the future, you should not act as a mediator. I have already given Coach Wang a hint today, so he probably won't come to you about any issues regarding the amount of investment later."

Lu Yu thought about the few words Jiao Yuyin had pointed out today, and they were all truly useful.

Lu Yu replied to Jiao Yuyin's affirmative answer: "Coach Wang knows what you mean. Don't worry, I heard what he was thinking."

"That's good."

Lu Yu kept muttering about her teammates' reactions and thoughts after seeing the wedding news today.

Jiao Yuyin listened quietly, not neglecting his work. He washed the rag and his hands, sat down next to Lu Yu, and picked two grapes from the glass box Lu Yu was holding and put them in his mouth.

Jiao Yuyin listened for a while before realizing he had overlooked something important: "Log into your account and clarify the retirement controversy."

Lu Yu stared wide-eyed, her face filled with confusion.

Jiao Yuyin had a rare strange expression. "Public opinion is against you, and many people mistakenly believe that you are really preparing to retire. Today at the Qingbei training base, some obsessive fans blocked the entrance of the base, and it seemed that even Jiao Yuchen's bodyguards could not stop them."

Lu Yu blinked. "So the big boss came to rescue me today."

Jiao Yuyin suppressed a trace of guilt in his heart and ate all the grapes that Lu Yu had picked.

Lu Yu knew this matter couldn't be delayed, so she immediately took out her phone.

- Xiaoyouyu has personally debunked the rumors! I have no plans to retire in the near future and will work hard to adjust my condition and actively prepare for the national league. Please do not believe or spread rumors.
