matchstick heaven

This is a magnificent private club.

Shen Qing stood at the entrance of the hall, tidied up her old suit, and told the receptionist the room number she was going to.He was not too surprised to see the slightly surprised expression on the receptionist's face.

The receptionist politely guided him forward, while scrutinizing the thin, pale man.

Shen Qing's appearance should belong to the type that people can never forget. With three-dimensional facial features, clear facial lines, and a pair of aggressive, stern but beautiful eyes, everyone who sees him in front of the camera can't help but sigh "Coach Shen is really handsome", and after seeing him in real life, he will usually add "has temperament".

But he wasn't as confident as people with this look usually projected.

He is used to arching his back slightly and lowering his eyes to listen to people talking. When talking to strangers, he speaks concisely and can't jump out a single redundant word.

The long corridor of the clubhouse was covered with dark green carpets, Shen Qing followed the reception as he walked past the hanging paintings, silently counting the retreating speed of the carpet patterns in the dim light.

"Sir, we're here." The receptionist reminded in a low voice, and knocked on a luxurious door.

The room was beautifully decorated, and there was a large round table in the center, with only a cup of hot tea and a few documents on it.Behind the steam of the tea sat a man in an expensive suit.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, is this your guest?"

The person inside raised his eyelids and asked in a cold tone, "Shen Qing?"

"Yes." Shen Qing replied.

"That's right, please sit down."

When Shen Qing sat down, she quickly glanced at the other party, and it was not different from what he imagined.The same suit and leather shoes, the same arrogance and indifference.

Soon there were only the two of them left in the private room.

This was a hasty meeting. Both parties were in a hurry, so there were not many pleasantries.

"You should have read the draft contract. I haven't made any changes. Take a look and sign if there is no problem." The turntable made a half-circle and sent two copies of the contract text and a pen to Shen Qing.

The feel of the pen is very good. He is used to using fountain pens, but he also feels that this heavy pen is more comfortable to hold.

There are not many clauses in the contract, and the important ones are bolded.

"Party A will inject RMB 7 million into the Eagle e-sports club, and pay 60% of the payment within 30 working days from the effective date of the contract, and complete the payment of the remaining balance within [-] working days."

"Party A shall not interfere with the Eagle e-sports club's operational decisions for any reason or in any form."

"Party B enters into a legal marriage with Party A, and maintains the marriage relationship until Party A proposes to terminate it."

……

There are also some detailed clauses, which are intended to limit the various cross-border behaviors of both parties during the marriage. Of course, the restrictions are mainly aimed at Party B.

In all fairness, this contract is fairly fair to Shen Qing, and it can give him much-needed help, but what he needs to pay in exchange is something that doesn't matter at all.

Shen Qing signed on Party B's place, and seriously wrote down today's date.

Turn the file back to the person across the table.

The man looked at Shen Qing directly, as if he was not in a hurry to sign.

"You are more attractive than I imagined."

Shen Qing didn't know how to answer, so he smiled politely, hoping that this timely donor would be satisfied with him.

"I have always been curious. I heard that you just signed to this club 2 months ago. A champion coach with 7 championships and no relationship with this club. Why are you willing to make such a big effort to save a team? sacrifice?"

Shen Qing looked over the steam rising from the tea on the table and looked at the man in front of him, his eyes stopped on his stern face, only then did he realize that the man who was about to become his legal husband had a face that was astonishing.

Sword eyebrows and star eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips, and sharp jaw line, appear indifferent and fatally sexy.

There was a cold smile in those eyes, and it seemed that the eyes were falling on Shen Qing's fingertips, thinking about something.

Shen Qing replied: "I joined the Eagles to help my old friend win a championship. He is about to retire, and this year may be his last chance."

"Oh, I heard...you and a new player are old colleagues?"

The term "old colleague" is not often used in Shen Qing's circle, but he did not point it out: "Yes... this year's Eagles lineup is very good, but it is a pity that we performed poorly at NEST, plus Zhang Ge's funds There is something wrong with the chain, without your help, he is already planning to sell the league spot to another company, and the other company is not going to keep all the players, so..."

"Brother Zhang" Zhang Renmin is Eagle's boss. Shen Qing and him have known each other for a long time. They have a good relationship. Although Shen Qing objected to selling the team, she could understand.

Mr. Zhou bowed his head and signed: "Understood. What's this called? According to you...brother LOL?"

Shen Qing lowered her eyes as usual: "Not all, I also have my own goals, this team... I am very optimistic about them, I hope they can help me achieve my goals."

For him, there is nothing that cannot be lost, so he only thinks about what he wants to get, no matter what price he has to pay for it, he seems to have no hesitation and no hesitation.

A contract was flipped back.

"This is your share." The cold tone told him.

Shen Qing picked it up and turned to the last page to confirm the other party's signature.

Zhou Chenshan.

This is a very famous name in the business world. It represents the highest voice of the world-renowned toy brand KUP in China.

This name seems to be far away from Shen Qing's world, if it weren't for this marriage contract where everyone gets what they want, there would be no intersection between them at all.

"Let's do it for today. I will contact you later. You can go."

Shen Qing greeted the other party politely: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"You don't need to thank me," Zhou Chenshan said with a warm smile, "I only spent [-] million yuan, and what I got was a huge profit far exceeding this amount. I still have to thank you."

Zhou Chenshan withdrew his probing gaze, and added in his heart: ordinary people are not as stupid as you, who have the ability, reputation and achievements, and even sold themselves to a businessman.

Shen Qing quickly left the private room, leaving Zhou Chenshan alone.

According to his usual requirements after negotiating business, no waiter came in to disturb him at this moment, and the surrounding area was eerily quiet.

He weighed the contract in his hand and thought it was quite funny.

There are not even a few items here that protect Party B's personal interests, and this kid actually signed it just like that.

Although he had no intention of taking advantage of others, but he had dealt with those people a lot on weekdays, and it was somewhat novel to meet such a stupid goose for the first time.

"Shen Qing..."

Zhou Chenshan's pen clicked on the name, and the appearance of the person just now appeared in front of his eyes. The face seemed to be wrapped in clouds and mist, making it hard to see clearly.

Zhou Chenshan couldn't help recalling the scene when he first met him...

The Shen Qing at that time seemed to be different from the present one.That Shen Qing was more real, but today's him is more like walking in a thick fog, making it hard to tell whether he is looking at a mirage or the person in the fog is an illusion.

It's strange, the impression Shen Qing gave Zhou Chenshan was like this, ethereal and scattered...

With a vain expression, a polite smile squeezed out from the corner of his mouth, a mechanical thank you, sharp eyes hidden, but he didn't look directly at him.

"Shen Qing..."

Zhou Chenshan repeated it again.
