Chapter 143 Lu Xingchen vs Li Zhen
President Li was also wearing the company's blue T-shirt and black sweatpants, but his figure that rivaled that of a male model and his superior looks were so impressive that he immediately drew cheers as soon as he appeared on stage.
After admiring the charming demeanor of the big boss, everyone fell into another atmosphere.
Didn’t two things just happen recently?
First, it was rumored that Zhang Chun'er worked as a public relations officer in a club, and later her secret relationship with a big boss was exposed.
Second, a few days ago, the big boss personally interrogated Li Xue and his wife from Wenxing Company to refute the rumor that Lu Xingchen was a mistress.
Then some people guessed whether the big boss’s woman was Zhang Chuner or Lu Xingchen.
At this moment, the three of them stood on the court at the same time, and the situation seemed clear at a glance.
President Li is in the same team as Zhang Chun'er, and Lu Xingchen is in the camp of President Li's opponent.
Then someone came to the conclusion, "So, Zhang Chun'er is the old boss' girlfriend. It's not surprising. Zhang Chun'er is pretty and has great breasts. Any man would prefer this type of girl, and our big boss is no exception."
Of course, no one on the field could hear these whispers.
Before the game started, Zhang Chun'er walked to the net and said to Lu Xingchen with a smile, "Sister Xingchen, you didn't expect my partner to be Mr. Li, did you? Were you surprised?"
Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, "On the court, the only thing that can scare me is the ball that I can't catch. Mr. Li, please give me more advice."
Li Zhen's face showed no expression, but he replied: "I am learning badminton because people like it. I hope I won't disappoint Mr. Lu too much."
... "Are you willing to do something for the person you like? I am willing to do it because I don't hate it, so why not give in to his or her preferences?"
... "Brother, what do you like?"
……"I like you. "
Thinking back, that was the first time Li Zhen took the initiative to say that he liked her.
Lu Xingchen replied calmly: "It doesn't matter whether I am disappointed or not, as long as the people who cater to Mr. Li are not disappointed."
Putting aside other things, Li Zhen's playing did not disappoint Lu Xingchen. She had said before that Zhang Chun'er's playing style was professional and Li Zhen played better than Zhang Chun'er.
In the past, she had a 70% to 80% chance of beating him. After not playing basketball for seven or eight years, her chance of winning is at most 50-50. In addition, she has not persisted in other sports in recent years, and the physical fitness gap between men and women has become more and more obvious.
Xu Nanhe played well, but at his best he was barely at the amateur 9th dan level, much weaker than Zhang Chuner.
In the first game, Lu Xingchen and Xu Nanhe lost the first game with 7:11.
Because of the presence of Li Zhen, the physical demon king, Zhang Chun'er seemed quite relaxed in the first round. She ran over to Li Zhen and clapped his hands and said, "Boss Li, you are so amazing. I almost couldn't hold on any longer."
It was a simple sentence, but it became extremely ambiguous because of everyone's gossip.
But Zhang Chun'er also ran over to Lu Xingchen and said, "Sister Xingchen, Brother Nanhe, thank you for letting me go."
Lu Xingchen didn't say anything and went down to the sidelines with Xu Nanhe.
Zhao Wenjing brought them water and towels, and whispered to Lu Xingchen, "Why do I feel that Zhang Chun'er is... weird?"
Lu Xingchen, who was drinking water, only glanced at her, then turned to ask Xu Nanhe: "How is it?"
Xu Nanhe smiled bitterly, "It feels powerful, but it doesn't feel right no matter how I hit it."
"That's normal. The two opponents are both professional players, but you played very well in the last few balls."
Xu Nanhe thought she was comforting him, "I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so good at badminton."
Lu Xingchen smiled, not really caring about winning or losing, "I didn't expect that he wasn't very good at fighting before."
"I'm sorry, I'm holding you back again."
Lu Xingchen didn't expect Xu Nanhe to be so serious. After looking at him carefully for a while, he put away his indifferent expression and said, "Xu Nanhe, it's just for fun. There's no need."
"If it weren't for me, you might not have lost." Xu Nanhe still felt guilty.
Zhao Wenjing consoled her, "Xingchen won't mind. Didn't I hold her back and make her lose to Chen Xiaolin and Zhang Chun'er? Besides, the opponent was Mr. Li, so losing would be a face-saving move for him."
"Because the opponent is Mr. Li, I can't let Xingchen lose!"
"..." Zhao Wenjing couldn't understand the reason and could only look at Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen probably guessed what Xu Nanhe was thinking. He was just her ex-boyfriend, after all. But in reality, she and Xu Nanhe were indeed not as strong as Zhang Chuner and Li Zhen.
"Do you really want me to win this game that badly?"
"of course."
Lu Xingchen looked up at Li Zhen and Zhang Chun'er. At this moment, he and Zhang Chun'er were surrounded by Jiang Haicheng and people from the sales department. But when she looked over, Li Zhen also looked at her. She calmly withdrew her gaze and looked at Xu Nanhe.
"Then I'll give it a try, but you have to adjust your mentality. You can't go on the court with the guilt of being a drag on your partner. You have to wholeheartedly help the other team to fill in the position to be qualified."
After that, she talked seriously about tactics with Xu Nanhe.
"Zhang Chun'er is better at playing small balls than you are, but you are physically fitter than her. Not only will you be at a disadvantage when competing with her at the net, but you will also save her energy. You should try to mobilize her to create offensive opportunities for me instead of helping me defend all the time, because General Li is very offensive and we can't defend against him..."
In the second game, Lu Xingchen played more delicately than in the first game. After attacking Zhang Chun'er, he dropped the ball on Li Zhen's net and tried to score points in front of his weaker net.
In addition, Xu Cainanhe adjusted well and had a high level of understanding. He avoided the opponent's attack throughout the game and even counterattacked Zhang Chuner's several balls. The two of them were three points behind and finally overtook 13:11.
Lu Xingchen was only wearing a T-shirt today. After two rounds of high-intensity play, the back of her clothes was already wet. She wiped the sweat off her face with a towel while analyzing the third round with Xu Nanhe.
Most of the colleagues watching were not optimistic about Lu Xingchen's team.
"Lu Xingchen is the best player on the field, but Xu Nanhe is the worst. The combination of President Li and Zhang Chun'er is enough to defeat Lu Xingchen. Moreover, she has been controlling the ball and attacking, which consumes too much energy. She will have a harder time in the third game, but President Li can obviously hold on for a long time. I guess Lu Xingchen will lose this game."
Indeed, in the third game, Li Zhen broke the tactics of Lu Xingchen and Xu Nanhe, making it very difficult for them to play. When the score reached 1:4, Lu Xingchen had to ask for a timeout, because this might lead to a big loss, and the momentum had to be broken.
Although she didn't have to win, she didn't want to lose at this point.
As soon as she got off the court, Zhao Wenjing pulled her over to complain: "Zhang Chun'er is not kind. She found Mr. Li as her partner yesterday, but she didn't say anything when she was drinking sugar water with us. She also insisted on dragging you and Xiaolin to play mixed doubles with her. Is she deliberately showing off to you?"
Hearing this, Lu Xingchen looked at Zhang Chun'er, who was now looking up and talking to Li Zhen with a happy smile.
In fact, on the day Zhang Chun'er invited her to Zhuoyue for dinner, she mentioned Li Zhen in front of her intentionally or unintentionally. She could guess what Zhang Chun'er was thinking, but since she liked Li Zhen, why did she include her in her plan?
Zhao Wenjing continued, "Didn't there come out photos of her and Mr. Li dating at the club? Now that everyone sees her playing basketball with Mr. Li, they all think they are boyfriend and girlfriend, and they also say that men like Mr. Li like girls with innocent looks, big breasts, long legs and thin waists..."
Lu Xingchen couldn't tell what she was thinking after hearing this, but she fought particularly fiercely this time, attacking and killing both Li Zhen and Zhang Chun'er with her direct attacks.
However, this was also very physically demanding. Although she had narrowed the score to 5:7, her strength was almost exhausted.
The man who hadn't sweated much after playing all day yesterday was now sweating profusely and his face looked a little bad.
She was so excited that she didn't call for a stop. It was Li Zhen who called for a pause, then walked over and called out, "Lu Xingchen."
Lu Xingchen heard it but pretended not to hear it and continued to walk to the sidelines. At this moment, she heard Zhang Chuner chasing after her and calling out, "Boss Li, wait for me."
Lu Xingchen's steps stopped involuntarily, and then she curled her lips slightly. She turned to look at Li Zhen who was walking to her side of the field and asked, "Did Mr. Li call me just now?"
Li Zhen walked up to her and frowned slightly when he saw her unusually red face. He said, "Go drink some water and wipe off your sweat first. I have something to tell you."
Lu Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "What a coincidence. I also happen to have something to say to President Li."
