Chapter 39
Lu Ziqiu frowned.

"Mr. Lu, I'll just delay you for a while. It won't be long. I have something to tell you alone." Unlike last time, his attitude was very sincere.

"Coach, you should go back first." Lu Ziqiu hesitated for a while and gave George the car keys.

George took it, "Come back for dinner tonight?"

"Don't wait for me. I still have something to do after I finish talking. You can eat first."

"Okay." George glanced at Yang Xiaojing, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

Yang Xiaojing smiled slightly, "Mr. Lu, my car is parked over there, please come with me, let's find a place to sit down and talk."

"Call me Coach Lu, you're a team reporter for the Wolves team, there's no need to make it too obvious."

"Okay, Coach Lu, please follow me." Yang Xiaojing turned quickly, and there was hardly any stagnation when changing the title.

Lu Ziqiu followed her into the car, and Yang Xiaojing asked, "You've been here in Yancheng for so long, you probably haven't gone out to have a good meal?"

"No, I don't want to be in the headlines again. If you don't mind, come back to the office with me."

"Okay." Yang Xiaojing readily agreed.

On the way, the two just chatted about some topics casually. After returning to the office, Lu Ziqiu asked Diana to pack two boxed lunches, and then invited Yang Xiaojing to sit down.

Yang Xiaojing smiled slightly, "I've never seen a general manager's office with three desks."

"It's just for the convenience of work." Lu Ziqiu replied casually, "Do you want some tea or water?"

"It's all right."

Lu Ziqiu made her a cup of tea, "You came to the arena so late today, do you have something to tell me?"

Yang Xiaojing became serious, and looked at the open office door, "Why don't we talk about it later, is that okay?"

Lu Ziqiu checked the time, and he would be off work in 15 minutes, so he was not in a hurry, "Okay, let's talk while eating later."

Yang Xiaojing was taken aback, "Don't you find it strange?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Since you can get acquainted with all the players in one afternoon, I believe you will not be an indifferent person."

Yang Xiaojing choked, and it took a while before she smiled wryly and said, "You can achieve such achievements at such a young age, you are truly outstanding."

Lu Ziqiu smiled and didn't answer her.

As a result, the two had nothing to say for a while, but it was a bit embarrassing to sit there with their eyes facing each other.

Lu Ziqiu got up and said, "You sit down first, I'll take care of some things first."

Yang Xiaojing nodded, took out her phone and checked the news.

After a while, Diana packed three packed lunches and came back. Seeing that she was off work, Lu Ziqiu asked her to close the office door.

Diana put down the lunch box, turned and closed the door.

Lu Ziqiu took the lunch box to the tea table and put it down, and handed one to Yang Xiaojing, "Have you tried the food in our canteen?"

"Thank you." Yang Xiaojing took it, nodded and said, "I've eaten it many times."

"That's fine."

Lu Ziqiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you need from me today?"

Yang Xiaojing sighed, "Your chairman's wife came to see me today."

Lu Ziqiu frowned, "You want to report the situation of the team?"

Yang Xiaojing replied: "Yes, she hopes that I can report the news of Xia Kexin's resignation."

"What?" Diana jumped up, "General Manager, what's going on?"

Lu Ziqiu waved his hand, "Don't be surprised, just sit down, and I'll tell you later."

Diana took a deep breath and sat back reluctantly.

Lu Ziqiu turned to look at Yang Xiaojing, "Why did you inform me of this news?"

Yang Xiaojing looked at him, "Do you think it's a little strange?"

Lu Ziqiu nodded slightly.

"Actually, I made this decision after weighing it over and over again."

Lu Ziqiu didn't speak.

Yang Xiaojing picked up the teacup in embarrassment and took a sip of tea. After putting it down, she said slowly: "I chatted with the players yesterday, and the players were full of praise for Miss Xia, so I thought, what should she do for you and the team?" It's very important, if this news is released so casually, if she comes back in the future, I don't know how to post it at all."

"You have a heart."

"The Wolves represent Yancheng. I'm a native of Yancheng. Naturally, I don't want others to see the team's jokes."

"If you don't post it, others will, right?"

"Yes, unless you ask Chairman Xia to come forward and suppress this matter."

"You really gave me a problem." Lu Ziqiu shook his head with a wry smile, "Is there anything else besides this?"

Yang Xiaojing nodded with a wry smile, "Someone in the team is deliberately spreading rumors."

Lu Ziqiu frowned, "Who?" Sure enough, someone was playing tricks.

"James."

"How did you find out?"

"I didn't discover it, it was Luo Mang. I chatted with him for a while yesterday afternoon, and he gave me a hint."

"Why did he tell you and not me?"

Yang Xiaojing shook her head, "Actually, I don't know why he hinted at me. Maybe it's more appropriate to tell you through my mouth."

Lu Ziqiu raised his head and exhaled, "What kind of rumors?"

"Maybe Luo Mang hinted at it, but I didn't understand it. You have to ask him for details."

"Okay, thank you." This is in line with Luo Mang's character, but how did he find out?

Yang Xiaojing also breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you don't treat me as an enemy."

Lu Ziqiu froze for a moment, "I apologize for what happened last time."

Yang Xiaojing finally showed a sweet smile, "It seems that I made the right decision today."

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly. Regarding Xia Kexin's matter, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to call Xia Hongfei.

Xia Hongfei didn't know anything about what Bai Yufei did today, and after hearing it, he flew into a rage, "It's just nonsense."

Lu Ziqiu persuaded: "Chairman, you'd better call the editor-in-chief of the Basketball Daily first. As for what happened today, I think you'd better have a good talk with your wife. If you continue to make trouble like this, it is very likely that you will die." affect the team."

Xia Hongfei looked up to the sky and sighed, "I really don't understand what I did wrong."

"Don't think about it that way. There is no right or wrong in this matter, but it is appropriate or inappropriate to deal with it."

"Thank you Ziqiu, you are still speaking for her."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Okay, just do as you said, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, just manage the team well, and leave this matter to me."

Lu Ziqiu said hello, hung up the phone and looked at Yang Xiaojing, "Our chairman will greet your editor-in-chief, but when Mrs. Xia finds you, how will you respond?"

Yang Xiaojing spread her hands, "I'm not her employee, what can she do with me?"

"That's right, but you'd better not be careless, you can call me anytime you encounter any difficulties." Hua Luo glanced at Diana, Diana understood, and left Lu Ziqiu and her phone number to Yang Xiaojing.

Yang Xiaojing rang Lu Ziqiu's cell phone after reading it, and smiled sweetly: "Then you have to write it down, in case you ask me who I am when I call you, it will be embarrassing."

Lu Ziqiu wrote down the number with a wry smile.
