Chapter 40 Maybe I Should Help Him Once

It was dark when we left.

Yang Xiaojing wanted to send them back, but Lu Ziqiu politely declined.

Yang Xiaojing didn't force her, she waved at them with a smile and drove away.

"General Manager, should we go find Luo Mang?"

Lu Ziqiu looked up at the dark night sky, shook his head and said, "Luo Mang's heart is like this dark night sky, unless he wants to talk, it's useless to ask."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Okay, then listen to you, try it, but don't expect too much." This is true, how do you know if you don't try?Maybe there is a miracle.

Diana hesitated and asked, "If he doesn't say anything, what are you going to do with James?"

"Even if he said it, I can't do anything, unless everyone comes out to accuse him of spreading rumors, but judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible. I haven't gotten to know them well enough yet."

"What a villain." Diana became angrier as she thought about it.

Lu Ziqiu patted her on the head with a smile, "Let's go, don't worry about these things, the most important thing for you now is to complete the deal with Agni and the others as soon as possible."

"The procedures are basically ready, and it should be ready for you to sign tomorrow."

"Well, you need to contact Li Hui more. If the deal is not concluded in a day, there may be variables."

"I know, but Mr. Li said, let us rest assured that even if the four parties fail to make a deal, they will make a deal with us."

"It seems that Agni is very determined this time."

The two didn't take a taxi, and walked for more than half an hour before returning to the villa area.

Luo Mang opened the door expressionlessly, turned around and walked back into the room without saying a word.

Lu Ziqiu was used to his demeanor and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Not polite." Diana muttered dissatisfied.

Lu Ziqiu smiled and pulled her in, closed the door and walked into the living room.

Luo Mang did not sit like last time this time.

"Thank you, if it wasn't for you, I still don't know who is behind the trouble." Lu Ziqiu walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with him in front of the window.

Luo Mang glanced back at him, "Isn't that the only thing you came to find me for?"

"I want to ask what rumor James is spreading."

"It's none of my business, you're asking the wrong person."

Lu Ziqiu had expected it a long time ago, and sighed with a wry smile, "Can I ask you another question?"

Luo Mang turned his head and looked out of the window again, "If it has nothing to do with playing basketball, you should say less, I have no obligation to answer you."

It's still a waste of time.

Lu Ziqiu smiled bitterly, turned around and gave Diana a hand, "Let's go back."

Diana was very unwilling, and asked loudly: "Luo Mang, you are also a member of the team, can't you think about the team?"

Luo Mang ignored it, put on the earphones again and threw himself into the beanbag sofa.

Diana stomped her feet angrily, "You bastard, you're so impersonal, it's in vain for our general manager to think about everything for you."

Luo Mang closed his eyes without responding.

"Okay, there is a gentleman's agreement between me and him, let's go."

"But."

"It's nothing to worry about. It's just a small problem. It won't bother me."

Diana glared at Luo Mang angrily, and followed Lu Ziqiu out.

It wasn't until the moment the door closed that Luo Mang opened his eyes. Frowning, he got up and walked to the window, watching Lu Ziqiu limping away from the back.

It wasn't until Lu Ziqiu's back disappeared that he sighed, "Maybe I should help him once, after all, he's not bad."

Back at the residence, Diana still had a gloomy face, calling Qu Qu: "Why do I feel that I am not as good as being in Shanmao now?"

Lu Ziqiu pressed her to sit down, "Did I look very beautiful when I was in Shanmao?"

"At least the team members all believe in you, unlike here."

Lu Ziqiu's eyes flashed, and he replied confidently: "One day, they will still believe me, don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you, but I'm too aggrieved. It's fine if Luo Mang doesn't say anything, and it's fine for James to make trouble, but that woman Bai Yufei is really shameless. She clearly is against you. "

"You think too much. The team belongs to their family. What good does it do for her to fight against me?"

"But she's doing it that way."

"As a mother, it is only natural for her to protect her daughter."

Diana couldn't talk to him, pouted and walked away from him, and sat aside to sulk alone.

Lu Ziqiu asked with a wry smile, "Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry." Diana replied angrily, but quickly looked back at him, "Are you hungry?"

"A bit."

"Then I'll cook some noodles for you."

"You're tired these two days, I'll go get it."

"No." Diana jumped up suddenly, and pulled Lu Ziqiu to sit down, "Aren't you tired after walking for so long? Sit comfortably, and I'll get it for you."

"This is rare." Lu Ziqiu smiled.

Diana's face was reddish. After coming here for so long, she either ate in the team, or Lu Ziqiu called her. She has never made a meal for Lu Ziqiu.

But before she reached the kitchen, the doorbell rang suddenly.

"Who else will come so late?" She muttered, and ran to open the door, but when she saw it was Luo Mang, she was stunned.

"Tell him, the team has been rumoring that he has taken advantage of Xia Kexin since yesterday, and James was the first one to spread the word." Luo Mang didn't intend to enter the door, turned around and left after speaking.

Diana was stunned for a long time before she realized it, and hurriedly closed the door and ran in to convey his words to Lu Ziqiu.

Lu Ziqiu's eyes turned cold. If it was other rumors, he could bear it, but this kind of talk was so wicked that he couldn't bear it at all.

Diana ran into the kitchen angrily, rushed out with a fruit knife, and said aggressively, "General Manager, let's settle the score with him."

What are you doing?
Lu Ziqiu was taken aback, and hurriedly snatched the knife from her hand, "Don't you think it's not messy enough?"

With red eyes, Diana said angrily: "But he is too wicked, don't show him some color, won't anyone dare to bully you in the future?"

Lu Ziqiu patted her face, "Silly girl, not only is it ineffective to rush over like this, but it will make a bigger joke. I don't care, but how will you let Kexin see people in the future?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"You cook the noodles first, I'll find a solution."

Diana said angrily: "You can't let him go easily, otherwise I'll be in a hurry with you."

"Okay, let's go, I'm so hungry that I'm going to faint."

Diana reluctantly went back to the kitchen to cook noodles.

Lu Ziqiu called Lan Feng sullenly, "Lan Feng, have you heard the rumors?"

Lan Feng asked in astonishment: "What rumor?"

"There is a rumor in the team that I took advantage of Kexin, didn't you hear that?"

"No, is this really the case?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, it was Luo Mang who told me."

"That can't be wrong, that kid is a boring gourd." Halfway through speaking, the voice suddenly became cold, "Coach, do you know who sent it?"

"I don't dare to confirm it yet. You can confirm it for me right away. By the way, don't ask the three people who are going to be traded away from James."

"Okay, whoever dares to lie to me, I will break their legs."

"Don't be impulsive after asking, tell me first."

"Don't worry, I'll go find them right away."
