Chapter 531 Spending Money
Gu Sanjing was straightforward and would not show mercy to anyone who displeased her. Almost the entire national team knew this, and Director Luo certainly knew it too.
The reason why she repeatedly approached Gu Sanjing to talk to her about the endorsement was simply because she was blinded by money. In addition, he felt that he was only trying to persuade Gu Sanjing to be the spokesperson and did not harm her interests.
Even asking her to take photos with others is a perfectly normal thing. She usually takes photos with people she likes.
But she didn't expect that Gu Sanjing would tell her coach. Pei Yunxia was well-known in the national team for her protectiveness and her unwavering integrity. If Pei Yunxia knew about this, it would definitely cause a big fuss.
"Sanjing," Director Luo stopped Gu Sanjing, "I didn't mean anything else. The brand wanted you to be their spokesperson, so naturally I had to ask you!"
"But I've told you more than once that I don't accept endorsements," said Gu Sanjing.
"Okay, I won't contact you again about endorsement matters." Director Luo felt aggrieved, but a smile was on his face. He pointed to the flowered shirt beside him and said, "This is Mr. Hu. He wants to take a picture with you."
Only then did Gu Sanjing notice the floral shirt. She had a good memory and remembered this man. He was just as annoying today as he was that day. She said, "I have other things to do and don't have time to take pictures."
After saying that, she strode forward, but was stopped by the man in the flowered shirt. "Gu Sanjing, right? My name is Hu Dawei. My family runs a coal mine. Nice to meet you."
He extended his hand to shake hands with Gu Sanjing. However, Gu Sanjing was dazzled by the two large golden rings on his hand. Xiao Si always said that their father was a nouveau riche. This was the real nouveau riche, wasn't it?
"I have something else to do." Gu Sanjing walked around Hu Dawei. Hu Dawei withdrew his hand and looked at Gu Sanjing's back with squinted eyes and smiled.
"Director Luo," Hu Dawei turned around and said to Director Luo, "You don't have the final say!"
Director Luo looked embarrassed, but he was more worried that Hu Dawei would ask for the money back. However, it was obvious that he was overthinking it. Hu Dawei left after saying that, without mentioning the money at all.
But come to think of it, he'd heard that running a coal mine was incredibly profitable, and Hu Dawei wouldn't even consider that little money. He was thankful that Hu Dawei hadn't asked for any money, but at the same time, he was also jealous of Hu Dawei.
Meanwhile, Gu Sanjing went to her coach Pei Yunxia's office and told her about Director Luo's repeated requests for her endorsement. Pei Yunxia was furious. She had told Director Luo more than once that Gu Sanjing would not accept endorsements. She was currently preparing for the next Olympics and couldn't be distracted.
Director Luo agreed to it at that time, but I didn't expect him to be such a hypocritical person.
"I understand. I will take care of this matter. You just focus on your training." Pei Yunxia patted Gu Sanjing on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, thank you." Gu Sanjing knew Pei Yunxia was a stickler for things. Furthermore, their diving team was strong, and Pei Yunxia held a high position within the General Administration of Sports. If she got involved, Director Luo would surely suffer.
Sure enough, after she left, Pei Yunxia angrily went to find the head of the Propaganda Department. Knocking on the door, she said directly, "Minister Zhang, have you done things to achieve your goals without even caring about your dignity?"
Minister Zhang knew Pei Yunxia had a bad temper, but he was also very angry at being accused without any reason. However, he was a smooth person, and although he was angry, he still had a smile on his face:
"Hey, what brings our Coach Pei here? You're so upset. Tell me, how did I offend you?"
Pei Yunxia snorted and told him about Director Luo pestering Gu Sanjing to be the spokesperson. Then she said, "What do you mean by this? I don't want to be the spokesperson, but you are forcing me?"
Minister Zhang, knowing the whole story, mentally cursed Director Luo for not knowing the importance of things. Who in the national team didn't know that Gu Sanjing was someone who couldn't be touched? Putting aside her background, the fact that she won three gold medals at the last Olympics made her the top player on the national team.
People with abilities naturally have privileges and a say.
Cursing Director Luo in his heart, Minister Zhang smiled and said to Pei Yunxia, "I really don't know about this. Don't worry, I will definitely criticize him."
Pei Yunxia snorted again, "We are all adults. If there is no benefit, would he do this?"
Minister Zhang had originally wanted to play it safe, reprimand Director Luo and tell him to stop bothering Gu Sanjing. But Pei Yunxia clearly wasn't going to let it go so easily. He had no choice but to adopt a stern approach and punish Director Luo.
"Yes, this matter is definitely not that simple. I will investigate it thoroughly and give you and Gu Sanjing a satisfactory answer." Minister Zhang said.
Pei Yunxia was quite satisfied with his attitude. She nodded and stood up to leave. Director Zhang smiled and sent her to the door. The moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared completely.
As I said, people with ability have privileges and the right to speak, this is true for Gu Sanjing and Pei Yunxia.
He picked up the phone and called Director Luo.
In a nightclub called Yemei in Kyoto, deafening music filled every corner, rotating chandeliers emitted colorful flickering lights, and a group of young people twisted their waists to their heart's content on the dance floor.
In the corner, Hu Dawei was drinking from his wine. Bao Liqiang next to him said, "Mr. Hu, it's just a girl. Why are you drinking to drown your sorrows? I tell you, even if you want to find an actress, I can find her for you. She's just as pretty as that Olympic champion."
Hu Dawei glanced at him and said, "You know shit!"
Bao Liqiang was scolded, but he had an ingratiating smile on his face. "That Olympic champion is so hard to deal with. He has no shortage of money, and he stays at the General Administration of Sports every day."
"Not short of money?" Hu Dawei took another swig of his wine. "There's no one in this world who doesn't like money. Just wait, sooner or later I'll knock her out with my money."
"Mr. Hu is still the one with the guts," Bao Liqiang smiled flatteringly at Hu Dawei, but in his heart he was calling him a country bumpkin.
Bao Liqiang was a small-time thug in Kyoto, without a stable job, living from hand to mouth. A few days ago, his mother told him that a cousin of hers, a distant relative, had made a fortune in a coal mine.
His son Hu Dawei wanted to come to Kyoto to play, but he was unfamiliar with the place, so he wanted her to take care of him. Then Bao Liqiang started taking Hu Dawei to Kyoto to eat, drink and have fun.
Hu Dawei is indeed rich. When he encounters any problem, he only has two words to say: spend money. Although Bao Liqiang despises his old-fashionedness, he likes his behavior of throwing money at every turn. It is really fucking cool.
Therefore, no matter what Hu Dawei wanted to do, he would find ways to do it for him. After all, as long as there was money, there was nothing that could not be done.
