Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Foul
Wang Qian took her to the middle seat, put the bag on the seat next to her, and said, "Ms. Lin, there are drinks and snacks in the bag. If you need anything else, please let me know."
"For me?" Lin Mo was flattered.
Wang Qian smiled and nodded: "Boss Xiao specifically ordered this."
Lin Mo was stunned. The plastic bag contained quite a bit of stuff, clearly prepared in advance. She thanked Wang Qian again, sat down, and glanced off to the distance. Lu Yanxiao was carrying the blue bag toward the "athletes' lounge."
"Mr. Xiao, go change your clothes. He will be on stage later." Wang Qian followed her gaze and explained.
Lin Mo was surprised: "Boss Xiao is also fighting?"
"Well, today's game is more of an entertainment game. Mr. Xiao is the club owner, and sometimes he plays with the players for fun. There are also some of his fans. Due to fan votes, one or two quarters will be played today."
So awesome.
Lin Mo glanced around the audience and saw Lu Yanxiao's supporters among the players' cheering banners.
"And Yu Ke's?"
To Lin Mo's surprise, she actually caught a glimpse of a sapphire blue cheering banner that read "Yu Ke Yu Ke! The most handsome Ke in the universe!" in the vast sea of red. She didn't expect that this "Teacher Yu" who is engaged in artificial intelligence is also very good at combining movement and stillness.
Wang Qian glanced at the blue and said calmly, "Mr. Yu also comes to the club to play occasionally."
Just as Wang Qian finished speaking, a clear voice came from the waiting area not far away: "Hey? Lin Mo!"
Lin Mo looked over and saw that it was Yu Ke who called her.
Yu Ke seemed unsurprised by her arrival, waving his arms vigorously at her. They weren't close to each other, and Yu Ke's loud shouting had drawn the attention of the players and nearby fans. It was too conspicuous for her to respond loudly, so she could only pump her fist at Yu Ke, cheering him on.
Yu Ke didn't care about other people's looks.
An hour ago, he'd taken Lu Yanxiao's ride to the sports center. Lu Yanxiao had actually asked Wang Qian to prepare some snacks, and even meticulously sent him a "snack and drink menu." Even though non-professional players like them only played one or two quarters, Lu Yanxiao had never had the habit of snacking during a match, and no one had ever been worthy of such elaborate preparation. Something must be wrong when things were out of the ordinary.
"Who did you buy it for? Is there any for me?" Yu Ke deliberately stretched his neck to look at Lu Yanxiao's mobile phone screen.
But Lu Yanxiao pushed him away: "Buy it yourself."
Lu Yanxiao did not deny that he bought it for someone else, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Yu Ke immediately guessed most of it. If it was impossible before, then since Lin Mo appeared, anything is possible.
"Lin Mo is coming?" Yu Ke asked boldly.
Lu Yanxiao glanced at him and still did not deny it.
"Boss Xiao is amazing, the progress is so fast!" Yu Ke flattered him happily. "Tell me, what do you want me to cooperate with?"
Lu Yanxiao: "Just shut up."
Yu Ke kept his mouth shut the rest of the way until they reached their destination. After getting off the car, Lu Yanxiao stopped in front of him and said seriously, "Cooperate with me to dig her into the Lu company's drone."
The core businesses of the Lu Group were mostly managed by his eldest brother, Lu Sijian. Lu Yanxiao, holding the title of General Manager, occasionally assisted in some of the operations, but his main focus was on the businesses he had invested in. He had invested in a wide variety of industries, and while he had only played around with them, drones and medical artificial intelligence were two areas he focused on, specifically because they were both related to LM. For years, he had been trying every possible means to find LM.
Now that we have finally found Lin Mo, we must quickly make use of the company's resources to win her over.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Yu Ke patted his chest and vowed.
Now that Lin Mo has arrived at the scene, he must seize every opportunity to play his role and help Young Master Lu achieve his goal.
Yu Ke swung his arms without caring about anything and tried to run to Lin Mo, but just as he took a step, a big hand suddenly grabbed his collar from behind, and he failed to start and was frozen.
"Who is it..." Yu Ke turned around impatiently. The moment he saw the person coming, his angry words got stuck in his throat. "Boss Xiao, I just want to go over and play a role."
Lu Yanxiao's powerful wrist pulled hard, pulling Yu Ke back half a step. Yu Ke almost lost his balance and jumped up in anger.
"Lu Yanxiao!"
Lu Yanxiao's eyes glared, and he threw him a warning: "I asked you to cooperate, not to scare them away."
Yu Ke then noticed the gossipy atmosphere among the other players in the waiting area, as well as the attention Lin Mo was attracting. It was indeed a bit too much. He shrugged and said, "Sorry! I understand. I'll cooperate with you."
After saying that, he waved at Lin Mo with a smile and then started warming up.
The other players, especially Huo Fei, who had just approached Lin Mo at the side door, were extremely curious. They were also afraid that their behavior at the side door might offend Lu Yanxiao. They moved their joints quietly to Yu Ke and whispered, "Brother Yu, who is that girl? She's always with Xiao..."
"That's not something you should ask about."
Huo Fei felt something was wrong when he heard this: "Brother Yu, help me, I was just outside asking for that girl's contact information, and I was caught by President Xiao."
"You're finished!" Yu Ke bluffed.
"She belongs to President Xiao...?"
Yu Ke nodded.
Huo Fei's face was full of resentment: "It's over, Brother Yu, save me."
Yu Ke: "Do you know how to make up for it?"
Huo Fei clasped his fists and said, "Please teach me."
Yu Ke motioned him to listen closer: "Today's main topic is to help Boss Xiao spread his wings like a peacock, understand?"
Huo Fei looked at Lu Yanxiao, then at Lin Mo, and suddenly realized what was going on. He smiled crookedly and agreed with Yu Ke's suggestion: "I understand."
The intimate interaction between the two instantly ignited the scene, with screams erupting from the audience and the sound of cameras clicking one after another.
Lin Mo was startled by the sudden high decibel level. She looked towards the crowd, but couldn't make out what was going on. She didn't know why they were so excited. She didn't know much about basketball and didn't know these players. She could only watch patiently in order to wait for Lu Yanxiao to finish and have dinner together.
With the sound of a whistle, the basketball game officially began and the players from both teams entered the court.
Lin Mo stared at the scene, bored, when suddenly a familiar figure came into view. The man, wearing a white jersey, had a buzz cut, and a striking hooked nose. She seemed to have seen him on the posters on Lin Peng's bedroom wall. Lin Peng was a basketball fanatic, and his walls were covered with posters of famous basketball players. Lin Mo thought carefully and realized that several of them were of the man before her.
Although the brother and sister don't see each other often, they keep in touch frequently and have a good relationship. If I have first-hand information from the scene, I must share it with my brother.
Lin Mo raised her phone, took a photo of the player and sent it to Lin Peng. She was typing a question, "Is he your idol?" Before the message was sent, Lin Peng was so excited that the screen was full of exclamation marks.
Lin Peng: [!!!!!!!!]
Lin Peng: [Li Zhenhao, my idol Li Zhenhao!!!]
Lin Peng: [Sister, are you there? I was so upset I couldn't get a ticket! You were able to go and you didn't even tell me. Am I still your dear brother?]
Lin Peng: [Crying like a storm, spinning in 360-degree circles!]
Seeing Lin Peng swiping the screen frantically, Lin Mo held back her laughter and felt a little regretful for making the child so excited.
Lin Mo: [Calm down, calm down.]
Lin Mo: [I came to visit a friend for something, and only found out about the competition after I arrived.]
Lin Peng: [Your friend is an organizer? Oh, that's great! I want to go too, sis. Please take me with you.]
Lin Peng: [(emoticon with tears in eyes begging)]
Lin Mo glanced at the time: [Don’t you have to go to cram school later? ]
Lin Peng looks distracted, as if he doesn't focus on his studies, but his grades are actually pretty good. In order to have multiple guarantees for his future college entrance exams, his parents have enrolled him in many extracurricular tutoring classes, and the one he's going to take today is a programming class.
Lin Mo: [Just focus on your studies. I'll take some videos and pictures for you and broadcast them live as soon as possible.]
Lin Peng: [Can I have your autograph?]
I just heard from fans nearby that there will be an interactive session between players and fans after the game, including taking photos, signing autographs, handshakes, etc. Lin Mo glanced at the stadium. There were two "acquaintances" named Lu Yanxiao and Yu Ke, so she might as well give it a try.
Lin Mo: [I'll try my best.]
Lin Peng: [I love you, my sister!]
After finishing the chat with Lin Peng, Lin Mo changed her previous lack of interest, picked up her mobile phone and started taking videos and photos of Lin Peng. The camera accurately locked onto the player named Li Zhenhao, and she would send each video to Lin Peng.
There is always a magical charm in sports competitions, especially when you watch them live in person. Even if you don’t understand the rules, with the scores, it is easy to be infected by the atmosphere and become fully involved without realizing it.
Because she was her brother's idol and had been filming Li Zhenhao, Lin Mo naturally sided with the White Team represented by Li Zhenhao. The more she watched, the more she felt that Li Zhenhao was worthy of being Lin Peng's idol. He really played the best. Halfway through the first quarter, the White Team had scored a total of twelve points, eight of which were scored by Li Zhenhao.
Lin Peng was so excited watching the game remotely that he kept shouting on WeChat: [Ahhh, great shot! Li Zhenhao is awesome!]
In addition, she happened to be in the area where Li Zhenhao's personal fans were, and there were constant shouts of cheering for Li Zhenhao all around. Lin Mo was also affected, and during the filming process, she would shout "Come on, Li Zhenhao!" from time to time!
But in the second quarter, Li Zhenhao's condition seemed to be gradually off. He made frequent mistakes. Sometimes he was knocked down, sometimes he slipped and missed, and sometimes the ball was knocked out of his hand...
The hearts of the fans around seemed to be hanging in the balance, and the atmosphere was tense.
Lin Peng on the other end of WeChat didn't respond for a long time.
Guessing her brother might also be worried about his idol, Lin Mo sent him a message: [The second quarter has just started. I haven't found my form yet. Wait for me to continue filming you.]
Lin Peng replied immediately, and the reply was a voice message with an indignant tone.
Lin Peng: [Impossible. Li Zhenhao never has a bad time. It's the red team's number 11. Who is that guy? He's always fouling and deliberately interfering with him. There must be something wrong with him. The referee should have sent him off.]
She was so focused on photographing Li Zhenhao that she didn't pay much attention to other people. After her brother said that, Lin Mo looked carefully and found that the number 11 was none other than the players' boss, Lu Yanxiao.
Just as Lin Mo looked over, coincidentally, Lu Yanxiao also happened to be looking in her direction.
Compared to before the match, Lu Yanxiao's face looked very ugly, his eyes grim. Lin Mo's heart trembled, and she had an inexplicable intuition that he was angry.
