Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Luxurious private room.
Lu Yanxiao led them to the gymnasium's private rooms. Although they were called private rooms, they were actually similar to the luxury suites in a star-rated hotel. They had three floors, the third floor being a soundproofed lounge area; the first and second floors were dining and entertainment areas, where one could watch the sports center's events or concerts live or on a large screen covering the entire wall.
The private rooms have private butlers and chef teams.
As soon as Lin Mo came in, she was shocked by the luxurious environment. She thought this was a place where Lu Yanxiao wanted her to treat him, so she secretly searched the prices on her mobile phone, but the prices were beyond her reach.
As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Lu Yanxiao said, "Please treat me to a meal, but I'll owe you for now."
This is where he entertains his players.
Lin Mo felt a little relieved, but it was inappropriate for her to stay and dine with the players. She wanted to refuse, but Lu Yanxiao said, "After the meal, come with me."
Lu Yanxiao's words were profound. She wanted to ask more, but he didn't intend to say anything more. He took Lin Peng to visit the private room leisurely. She could only give up for the time being. Just thinking about the situation she was about to face, she felt a little embarrassed.
On the field, the game is over.
Huo Fei looked around but didn't see Lu Yanxiao. He asked Yu Ke exaggeratedly, "Why did Mr. Xiao go out with this beautiful woman? Didn't you agree to treat us? Are you ignoring us now?"
"As for the food, I will definitely eat it." Yu Ke touched his chin and acted mysteriously.
Before Lin Mo left the audience, he accidentally saw the caller ID on her phone. The word "brother" was on it. That must be the younger brother of her Li Zhenhao, who was a fanatical fan. Judging from the situation, he was most likely at the scene, and maybe he was being entertained in the private room.
“But there should be two more people, so it will become a small fan meeting.”
"How do you say that?"
"Do you know why Master Lu played so aggressively today?"
Huo Fei shook his head wildly. Just now on the court, he followed Yu Ke's instructions and tried his best to assist General Xiao to "spread his feathers like a peacock". However, the momentum of the game was obviously good and the score was also gratifying, but General Xiao's condition became worse and worse. They could all see the murderous aura on his body clearly. Where was the entertainment game they promised? This game was more intense than a serious game.
Yu Ke approached him and whispered the truth to him.
Huo Fei was shocked and blurted out: "Boss Xiao is jealous of Zhenhao?! So, he deliberately competed with him on the court?"
Yu Ke quickly covered his mouth: "Keep a low profile, it's all a misunderstanding. Lin Mo's brother is a fan of Zhen Hao, and she is helping him take the photo. You watch Zhen Hao later, don't let him say anything nonsense."
"Don't worry." Huo Fei patted his chest to assure, but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong. "But it shouldn't be that serious. President Xiao attaches great importance to the club and us. It's impossible for him to let us 'sit with him' just to make his sweetheart smile."
"Do you want to bet?"
"What's the bet?"
"One hundred yuan."
"make a deal."
The gamble was settled, and the two couldn't wait to see the result.
After the fan interaction session ended and the staff said "thank you for your hard work", the two exchanged glances and ran quickly to the luxury private room in the sports center.
"You are sure to lose this hundred dollars!" Yu Ke smiled maliciously at Huo Fei.
When the two arrived, the wooden door of the private room was wide open, and a uniformed butler was waiting respectfully at the door to greet them.
"Has President Xiao arrived?" Yu Ke asked.
The butler smiled and nodded.
"He's alone?"
Butler: "Boss Xiao, Assistant Wang, and two other distinguished guests."
“Yes!”
Yu Ke clenched his fist, took out his phone, showed the QR code, and urged Huo Fei, "Admit defeat and pay."
"Don't be impatient, it may not happen!"
Huo Fei did not give up. He was still unwilling to believe that Lu Yanxiao would treat his brothers like clothes. He quietly leaned against the door and stretched his neck to peek inside. The antique shelf blocked his view of the restaurant, but he could vaguely hear the voices of the young man and Lu Yanxiao talking.
Lu Yanxiao: "From now on, whenever you want to watch a game, just look for Wang Qian."
Boy: "Thank you, Brother Xiao."
President Xiao actually let his sweetheart's younger brother contact his special assistant directly. He spoke to his younger brother so gently, and the boy called him brother so affectionately, which shows that the girl named Lin Mo holds a low position in his heart.
There's no point in having them accompany you.
As long as President Xiao doesn't vent his anger on him for asking Lin Mo for her contact information before the game, he would be willing to not only accompany her but also perform shooting shows for his brother on the spot.
Huo Fei was convinced and happily transferred a hundred yuan to Yu Ke.
The two walked arm in arm into the dining area of the private room. Lu Yanxiao was showing Lin Mo and Lin Peng around, accompanied by Wang Qian. The young man, eyes full of curiosity, stopped in front of the large screen covering the entire wall, which was showing footage of the previous match.
Noticing the two people coming in, they turned around at the same time.
"Huo Fei, it's Brother Huo Fei!" Lin Peng waved excitedly. Only at this moment did he truly feel the fact that he was going to have dinner with the players.
"Hello, brother!" Huo Fei greeted him actively and warmly as if he was his own brother-in-law.
Yu Ke was not willing to be outdone and wanted to step forward to present his treasure to his brother. However, there was a noisy sound outside the door and other players came in one after another. Li Zhenhao was the first to walk in. The noise arrived before he even showed up.
"Boss Xiao, what's going on? You're touching my waist..."
"Zhenhao, it's you. What a coincidence. I've been waiting for you for so long!" Before Li Zhenhao could finish his words, Huo Fei and Yu Ke quickly ran over, covered his mouth, and dragged him out.
"Wuwu, what's going on, wuwu?"
Li Zhenhao didn't understand what was going on and tried to speak while sobbing. The two men held him on the left and right, but Li Zhenhao was the club's most talented player with excellent physical fitness. It was a bit difficult for the two men to drag him away. The other people who came in with him were confused and either helped or fought. They pushed and shoved, but he soon broke free.
Because of his popularity, he inherently felt a certain superiority. Li Zhenhao treated Lu Yanxiao with the respect of a boss, but compared to the others, he wasn't as intimidated. He still felt puzzled and aggrieved by Lu Yanxiao's targeting on the field. He broke free from Yu Ke and Huo Fei's restraints and stepped forward, determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Boss Xiao, you have to give me a solution - ah -"
As expected, he was stopped by Yu Ke and Huo Fei again. Yu Ke gritted his teeth and whispered to him without moving his lips, "Shut up, consider the situation and the people around you."
Li Zhenhao then shifted his attention and saw Lin Mo and Lin Peng standing in front of the big screen.
After the fan interaction session, the team leader told them that the younger brother of General Xiao’s good friend is their fan and especially likes Li Zhenhao. The friend’s younger brother will also have dinner with them, so everyone is asked to take good care of the little fan.
Li Zhenhao looked at Lin Peng, his eyes filled with excitement. He touched his sister's arm and said excitedly, "Sister, he is Li Zhenhao. I finally see him in person."
How could he not remember the boy's sister, such a beautiful girl? She was the one who sat in the first row and cheered for him during the game.
Li Zhenhao immediately figured out the twists and turns. It turned out that President Xiao was so cruel to him on the court because he was jealous!
Young Master Lu is really childish for being jealous.
It’s unfair. He really died unjustly.
Driven by a small desire for revenge, Li Zhenhao automatically ignored his boss, smiled at Lin Mo, and deliberately teased: "Beautiful girl, I remember you, you kept taking pictures of me with your phone, even during halftime. A fan? Do you like me?"
hiss……
As soon as he finished speaking, the other players gasped in unison. They weren't stupid. After thinking about it all, they understood clearly: "Isn't this guy Li Zhenhao afraid of death? He's just playing around with his boss's nerves."
Lin Mo had no idea what they were thinking. Although she was not a fan, how could she pour cold water on others and say "I don't like it" in front of so many people? She had to be polite and say something nice.
She smiled: "I..."
"Knock knock."
The man next to him knocked the table twice with his knuckles. He said nothing, but the air around him seemed to freeze suddenly. His cold eyes were like a sharp sword, pointing straight at Li Zhenhao.
Li Zhenhao was so frightened that he dared not act disrespectfully anymore.
He couldn't even hold on for three seconds. His legs went weak and he held onto the edge of the table. He coughed twice to ease the atmosphere. He smiled stiffly at Lu Yanxiao and called out, "Boss Xiao."
Click.
The iceberg shattered and melted, and warmth returned to Lu Yanxiao's face. He raised his chin slightly and nodded at Lin Peng, saying, "The fans are here." Then he patted Lin Peng's shoulder, put on an older brother's demeanor, and said with a smile, "Come over. Ask them to take photos and get autographs however you want. It's up to you."
Lin Peng was so excited that he walked up to Li Zhenhao and raised his hand shyly, like a good student who wanted to speak in class.
"Brother Zhenhao, I'm your fan. I really, really like you!"
As he spoke, he brought over posters, photos, jerseys, dolls and pens. The preparations were so thorough that he even had a doll of Li Zhenhao playing his first professional game.
Li Zhenhao had been genuinely intimidated by Lu Yanxiao just now, and now he was eager to show his sincerity to his boss. Furthermore, the middle school student before him was clearly a true fan, and he couldn't let his fans down. So, he hurried over to Lin Peng, helping him pick up some posters. He deliberately raised his voice and said cheerfully, "Come on, take any photos you want, sign as many autographs as you want, and sit next to me for dinner."
There were faint sounds of suppressed laughter from the others.
Yu Ke said to Lin Peng at the right moment: "How is it? Is Brother Xiao treating you well?"
"Very good, thank you my brother Xiao."
Lin Peng was happy and nervous, but his remaining rationality made him feel that something was wrong. He subconsciously looked at Lin Mo, and Lin Mo was also looking at him. When their eyes met, the brother and sister seemed to be thinking about something.
However, they were all young people in their teens and twenties, and they could easily liven up the atmosphere. Plus, the big screen was constantly playing game videos, so there was no shortage of topics to chat about. Even if they were a little reserved at first, they soon relaxed and had a lively and relaxed meal. By the end, Lin Peng had become brothers with all the players.
At the end, I felt reluctant to leave.
Lin Mo dropped Lin Peng off outside the sports center. She checked the time and saw she still had time for her last tutoring class. She called a taxi on the ride-hailing app and said to Lin Peng, "I have something to do later, so I won't be dropping you off. You can take a taxi to class yourself."
"Okay."
Lin Peng responded cheerfully, looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, he said casually, "Sister, that Brother Xiao is a very nice person."
Lin Mo sneered: "Didn't they say before that he was the financial sponsor and the players were all coaxing him?"
"It's just for fun anyway, it's not a real competition."
Although it's common to be grateful for favors, after getting to know him, he truly felt that Lu Yanxiao was a good person. "Look at how good his relationship with the players is. He must be a good boss."
"He's a nice guy."
After receiving his sister's approval, Lin Peng, who had been holding back his doubts throughout the entire dinner, finally couldn't help himself at this moment. After much hesitation, he finally asked, "Sister, is Brother Xiao the new brother-in-law?"
“…”
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Mo hurriedly stopped him, saying seriously, "We're just ordinary friends. If you say such nonsense, it won't be good for him or me."
"But I think he seems to like you. It's too exaggerated to say he's just an ordinary friend. I observed carefully during the meal. Whenever you looked at a dish, Brother Xiao would stop the table on your side. When you wanted a drink, he would see it first and bring it to you. If he does this, what else could it be but love?"
"Is there?"
"Yes, I saw it clearly, it's absolutely true." Lin Peng became more and more certain as he spoke, "Sister, I really think Brother Xiao likes you."
In fact, Lin Mo also had some feelings and doubts.
But after the last time Lu Yanxiao helped punish Xu Tingzhou, she had presumptuously misunderstood whether he had feelings for her. Now she still felt embarrassed when she thought about it. How could she make the same ridiculous mistake again?
"That's because he's a nice, gentlemanly person." Lin Mo gently pushed Lin Peng's head and pretended to threaten him, "You're overthinking things, little brat. Stop talking nonsense."
"Oh, I see."
The taxi app showed that the online car would arrive in two minutes, and the brother and sister both looked in the direction the car was coming.
Lin Peng suddenly remembered something: "Oh, sister, don't tell Dad and Mom that I skipped classes to play here, otherwise, they will scold me to death. I have my own excuse."
"What's the excuse?" The brother and sister always had to communicate with each other so that they could give the same answer if asked.
Lin Peng patted his schoolbag and said with a sly smile, "My classmate is in these posters and photos. He's been sick and hospitalized recently, and I just happened to fulfill his wish. The condition is that he has to cover for me and say that I went to the hospital to look after him."
It's a very thorough plan.
"Sister, just pretend you haven't seen me today, okay?"
Lin Mo smiled: "Okay, your sister has skipped classes too."
"That's different. You were able to enter the gifted class at the age of fourteen. You could skip classes and play around and still do well on the exams. I'm not like that."
Seriously, his parents have used his sister as a role model for him since he was young. He is very familiar with his sister's glorious deeds and admires her very much.
"You swear not to tell."
Lin Mo had no choice but to raise her right hand solemnly: "I swear, I will never tell anyone. Are you satisfied?"
Lin Peng said happily: "Perfect."
"Let's go quickly, the car is here." Lin Mo urged.
Before leaving, Lin Peng didn't give up. He stuck his head out of the window and said with a playful smile: "But sister, I really think this new brother-in-law is good. Why don't you consider it and take him down."
“…”
Lin Mo clenched her fist as if to hit someone, and the car drove away.
*
After seeing Lin Peng off, Lin Mo returned to the sports center.
Before dinner in the private room, Lu Yanxiao had said he'd take her somewhere later, so she had to stay, and now she had to go back and wait. Lu Yanxiao hadn't revealed where they were going, but she had almost no work or personal interaction with him. The only thing she could think of was "returning the car." Her car was still locked in the basement garage at the L Hotel, and she was now driving the one provided by the hotel.
So, when Lu Yanxiao came out to ask her for the car keys, she thought her car had already been driven over, and handed over the keys without any hesitation.
Lu Yanxiao tossed the keys to a driver in a black suit and white gloves, then explained to her, "We're going on a detour, so the driver will follow in your car to avoid getting lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black Bentley stopped in front of them. Wang Qian was driving and Yu Ke was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Get in the car." Lu Yanxiao helped her open the back door.
It's hard not to have wild thoughts.
Lin Mo didn't go in immediately. She kept smiling and asked, "Mr. Lu, where are we going?"
"Why, are you afraid that I'll sell you out?" Lu Yanxiao raised his eyebrows, his tone teasing.
