Soon, the police arrived and took the woman and those six people away...
"Alright, finally got rid of the annoying tails. We can continue shopping now."
"Shopping sounds good, but let’s grab something to eat first! I didn’t feel it earlier, but now I’m suddenly starving," Jian Dan said, rubbing his stomach.
"You guys go eat, I’m heading out," Fang Yuan said, preparing to leave.
"Where are you going? e with us!"
"I’m just..."
"Cut the crap!"
"I really can’t. I have to go to the hospital to look after my mom."
"Exactly, which is why you definitely need to eat with us now. Stop dawdling, e on."
At the restaurant~
"Jian, Qin Rou and I will go outside to pick some seafood. You stay here with your classmate, no need to e out," Xia Mengjiao said as she and Qin Rou stood up and left the private room.
Of course, Jian Dan knew they were trying to give Fang Yuan some space by using the excuse of picking dishes to step out.
"Now that there’s no one else here, talk to me! What’s wrong with your mom?"
"I..."
"We’re classmates—what can’t you say? Just tell me!"
"It’s uremia."
"What?" Although Jian Dan didn’t fully understand this illness, he’d heard about it before—it requires regular dialysis, which costs a significant amount.
"You don’t need to worry about the medical expenses!"
"That’s not okay. Jian Dan, I’m really grateful, but I’ll figure it out on my own!"
"Figure out what? If you truly had a solution, you wouldn’t have been mixed up with that kind of woman."
"I..."
"What are you hesitating for? And just so you know, the money for your mom’s medical expenses—I won’t just give it to you for free."
"What do you mean?"
"It means you’ll need to repay it with your hard work!"
"I don’t understand."
"I remember you used to be amazing at gaming and even became a professional player. But after retiring, you didn’t pursue this career anymore because people accused you of taking money to throw matches."
"How do you know about that?"
"That’s not some big secret. Don’t forget, I studied puter science too. But based on what I know about you, there’s no way you’d do something like that."
"I can tell you, I definitely didn’t do that. But other than that, sorry, I don’t want to talk about it."
"I won’t force you if you don’t want to share. I believe you didn’t do it, and that’s enough for me.
I’m here to officially hire you as the coach for the team."
"Team coach? Your team?"
"Kind of."
"What do you mean ’kind of’?"
"It’s my son’s team! So does it count as mine or not?"
"Your son? How old is your son? Can he even pete?"
"Not yet, but in a few years, he will be able to!"
"And you’re already looking for a team manager now? Jian Dan, I know you’re trying to help me, but this excuse is too far-fetched."
"I’m not kidding—I’m serious. I said it’s my son’s team, but I didn’t say he’s the player. He’s the one responsible for managing it. He wants to build a professional esports team to join this year’s national league."
"Huh?"
"Don’t doubt it. My son runs a pany without any problems, let alone a team."
"How old is your son exactly?" Fang Yuan couldn’t shake the feeling Jian Dan was just messing with him.
"Age doesn’t matter. If you don’t believe me, tomorrow we can schedule a time and I’ll take you to visit my son’s pany—you’ll see."
"We’re back! We ordered lots of delicious things—you guys are in for a treat," Qin Rou and Xia Mengjiao said as they returned.
"Really? That’s great! I feel like I’m hungry enough to eat a whole cow right now."
"Don’t worry, we ordered plenty—definitely enough to fill you!"
After devouring their meal, Fang Yuan headed off to the hospital while the other three continued shopping...
