basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 10 One Is One Two Is Two

"Mr. Lu, I apologize to you for what happened to my mother, and I hope you don't take it to heart."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "This is none of your business."

Xia Kexin said solemnly: "Please trust us, our team is really sincere."

Lu Ziqiu smiled and did not speak.

Xia Kexin hesitated for a while, then said: "Why don't we find a place to drink something, can we?"

"Does Miss Xia have something to tell me?"

"Well, it has something to do with my father."

"If it has nothing to do with basketball, I'm not interested, please forgive me."

Xia Kexin said anxiously: "This matter is very important, and it is also related to basketball. Mr. Lu, please give me a little time. I promise, it will never take too much of your time."

Lu Ziqiu hesitated for a while before sighing, "In that case, let's go to the hotel."

Xia Kexin said happily: "Thank you."

When they arrived at the hotel room, Lu Ziqiu invited her to a seat and made tea for her. Xia Kexin thanked her and took it.

Lu Ziqiu was not in a hurry to ask her.

Xia Kexin took a sip of tea before slowly explaining the grievances between Xia Hongfei and Zhao Yunchao.

Lu Ziqiu frowned, "You mean that your mother is so eager to get grades, but she is actually trying to help your father out, is that so?"

Xia Kexin nodded, "Although my mother doesn't like my father saying bad things about Zhao Yunchao behind his back, she actually doesn't want to see my father being bullied by Zhao Yunchao."

"I know Zhao Yunchao. Although his team is not a first-class team, but the momentum has been good in the past few years, and his team is not short of talent and funds. It is not easy to catch up with him in a short time. .”

Xia Kexin hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on what kind of players can be selected in the expansion draft, and also depends on how much money you have invested. I'm sorry to say that Yancheng is far from being comparable to Kaicheng. The Wolves want to To sign a star, the price to pay is higher than that of the Kaicheng Silver Dragons."

Xia Kexin's heart sank when she heard this, and she nodded with a wry smile, "We know this very well."

"Your determination is great, I can feel it, but determination is one thing, and wanting to achieve results is another. You have to be mentally prepared for this."

"I understand that this is a big challenge for our team, but we all believe that you, Mr. Lu, can help us, so I would like to ask you to seriously consider our agreement, can you?"

She didn't have high expectations for Lu Ziqiu at first, but after today's meeting, the general manager and head coach who contacted before replied that the asking prices were ridiculously high, and they were not willing to sign a partial guarantee contract. Eager to sign a contract with Lu Ziqiu.

If they can't even sign the current Lu Ziqiu, then they can only pay a higher price and take greater risks to sign others.

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, "I would seriously consider it, if it wasn't for this." But before he finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly.

Lu Ziqiu picked it up and frowned, "I'm sorry Miss Xia, I'll answer the phone first."

"Do I need to back away?"

"No, you sit down first." Lu Ziqiu did not avoid her, and directly connected the phone in front of her.

"Ziqiu, where are you, is it convenient to talk now?" Annie's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Ziqiu's heart skipped a beat, "I'm in Yancheng, did something happen when you called me so late?"

"Yes, something happened on my side and I need your help."

"What's the matter, just say it."

"Weixin was detained by the casino, and they asked me to redeem him with money, but where can I find so much money all of a sudden?"

Lu Ziqiu frowned, "Didn't he not gamble? Why did he go to the casino?"

"It wasn't Weisen who gambled, it was a friend of his who gambled and lost a lot of money. We didn't have that much money on hand. Wesen originally wanted to discuss with the casino whether it could be postponed for a few days, but he didn't expect that the casino would He was also detained."

"How far is it?" Wesen is his best friend, and he can't ignore this matter.

"200."

"When?"

"They asked me to send the money before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise I would cut off one of Wei Sen's arms, Ziqiu, I know you are having a hard time recently, but I really have no choice but to ask you for help ,I"

Lu Ziqiu interrupted her, "Send me your account number, and I will send you the money before eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Also, tell them right away, if they dare to touch Wesen's finger, you will get a cent Don't even try to take the money."

"Thank you, Ziqiu, I really don't know what to say."

"No need to say anything, just go and tell them."

"well."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ziqiu immediately called Thomas, but unfortunately, Thomas' phone was turned off, so he called Thomas' assistant, who was also turned off.

This old guy, won't be in bed with his assistant, will he?

Seeing his anxious face, Xia Kexin hesitated and asked, "Mr. Lu, how much do you need?"

Lu Ziqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Two million."

"200 million?" Xia Kexin exclaimed, not too much, but too little. With his previous status, how could he be short of 200 million?But judging by his performance, he really doesn't look like he has money in hand. What's going on?

Lu Ziqiu didn't explain, just nodded with a wry smile.

Xia Kexin thought for a while and said, "Why don't you do this, Mr. Lu, I'll call you the 200 million yuan first, even if I loan it to you, how about it?"

Lu Ziqiu was really in a hurry, so he didn't refuse, "Thank you, Miss Xia."

Xia Kexin smiled slightly, "Why are friends so polite?"

But it is impossible for Lu Ziqiu to take her money for no reason, "How about this, Miss Xia, please contact your father immediately, I will go to your company to sign an agreement tomorrow morning, and the 200 million will be deducted from my salary ,May I?"

"No, don't get me wrong. You don't have to worry about the agreement. If you think there is something inappropriate, we can discuss it again."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "If you do me a favor, it means that I owe you a favor. I, Lu Ziqiu, have always been clear about gratitude and resentment in everything I do. If you have done me a favor, I will definitely repay it. This is the principle of my life."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone message rang. Lu Ziqiu opened it and looked at it before handing the phone to Xia Kexin, "Miss Xia, please help me transfer to this account, thank you."

Xia Kexin didn't say much, and immediately transferred it to Annie with her mobile phone, "It has already been transferred, and the account will be delivered in 5 minutes at the latest."

"Thank you."

Xia Kexin smiled slightly, "May I ask? What is the relationship between this Annie and you?"

"He's my good friend's wife, the model that the media reported."

Xia Kexin frowned, "Then why don't you ask your friend to clarify?"

Lu Ziqiu replied indifferently: "It's not necessary, it doesn't matter what others think of me."
