Chapter 141 Partner
Lu Xingchen followed the pattern of Zhang Xinran's match against Zhao Wenjing. She let Zhang Xinran win at the beginning of the second game and let her lead by two points. Zhang Xinran could see that she was teasing her, and everyone could see it too.
It’s just that when Zhang Xinran beat Zhao Wenjing before, some people advised Zhang Xinran to let Zhao Wenjing go, but now no one is speaking for her.
Because Zhang Xinran was malicious first, and after she brutally beat her opponent in the third round, she continued to verbally provoke him off the court.
Lu Xingchen's move was just to give Zhang Xinran a taste of his own medicine. Some people even felt very happy seeing her using such excellent skills to torture Zhang Xinran.
It's time to teach arrogant people like Zhang Xinran a lesson about the principle of forgiving others when you can.
The third game was similar but also different from the way Zhang Xinran abused Zhao Wenjing.
When Zhang Xinran was already exhausted, Lu Xingchen instead adjusted her playing style to a more advanced and domineering level. Each time she ended with the ball hitting Zhang Xinran, and each ball was a critical hit.
Du Xinrui's scalp tingled and she began to count aloud.
"sixth."
"the seventh."
"The eighth."
The people next to her asked her what she was counting, but she didn't answer and just said, "Lu Xingchen can at least hit five balls like this."
Finally someone guessed, "It's probably the ball that Zhang Xinran hit on Zhao Wenjing just now. Now the score is 5:0. Lu Xingchen might even hit Zhang Xinran on the head!"
However, this person guessed wrong, and the score did not end at 11:0.
When the score reached 7:0, Lu Xingchen made a jump slam dunk, and the ball disappeared with a puff!
Everyone was surprised. Lu Xingchen picked up the racket and signaled to the scorer on the sidelines: "I need to change the racket."
Everyone then realized that the racket couldn't withstand Lu Xingchen's smash and was pierced, and the string broke so suddenly that it directly tore the carbon fiber frame apart, and the badminton was stuck in the twisted and broken racket.
Someone exclaimed: "What a terrifying force!"
Xu Nanhe said: "Professional players can hit at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour when their skills and equipment match. Although Lu Xingchen's performance cannot be estimated that way, ordinary rackets cannot withstand her strength."
Jiang Haicheng, who was in the audience, saw Lu Xingchen break the racket. Even though he had been stubborn just now, he was dumbfounded.
Li Zhen suppressed the surging emotions in his heart. Of course, this emotion was not only because of Lu Xingchen's skills. He had seen her play in provincial competitions. An opponent like Zhang Xinran was nowhere near her level. His excitement was because he saw her glowing. Even if it wasn't because of him, it made his eyes hot and his blood boil.
He didn't even want to take his eyes off Lu Xingchen. Without even turning his head, he asked Jiang Haicheng, "Is it interesting now?"
Jiang Haicheng cursed in a low voice, "Where did Lu Xingchen crawl out of?"
Big Devil Lu Xingchen took the clap and went to the side of the field to give it to Zhao Wenjing, "Sorry, I lost control and broke it."
Zhao Wenjing was so excited that she was incoherent. She immediately took the broken racket and exchanged it for a good one. "I have another one. If you break it, I can find it for you!"
"Use mine." Xu Nanhe took his racket and looked at Zhao Wenjing and said, "Your twenty-two-pound string is not enough for her to hit, but mine is enough, about twenty-seven." The latter sentence was said while looking at Lu Xingchen.
"Then you can use Xu Nanhe's slap!" Zhao Wenjing immediately agreed, "If it's broken, it's mine!"
Lu Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to take Xu Nanhe's shot.
When Zhang Xinran on the sidelines saw their posture, she raised her hand that was about to take the water from Tong Xiaojia's hand, but now she looked down to check. Her arm, which was hit the hardest by the ball, was now bruised and swollen.
Tong Xiaojia couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God, if this ball hits my face..."
Zhang Xinran was so frightened when she heard this that she immediately walked towards Lu Xingchen and said, "I don't want to fight anymore! I give up!"
Although it was not a formal competition, Zhang Xinran really felt that there was no need to withstand Lu Xingchen's smash after he changed to a 27-pound racket, but after admitting defeat, she still felt uncomfortable.
Especially since everyone, including those who had just stood on her side, looked at her with contempt and ridicule, so that now she looked like a loser when facing Zhao Wenjing, who had just been abused by her.
She forced herself to say, "Lu Xingchen, you win."
After saying this, she suddenly thought of the day of the annual meeting, when she excitedly stood up to receive the award, only to be announced that Lu Xingchen was the champion. Then the humiliation she felt that day seemed to be repeated today. Zhang Xinran couldn't even hold on any longer and had to push through the crowd to pack up her equipment.
Someone saw this and said, "When you abuse others, you are so arrogant, but you can't afford to lose at all."
Jiang Haicheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zhang Xinran's miserable appearance, "That woman looks really pitiful."
Li Zhen sneered, "Did Zhao Wenjing provoke her? I think the punishment was too light."
Although this is true, seeing his behavior, Jiang Haicheng couldn't help but complain, "Yes, you are the one who is honest and brave. Well, come to think of it, the way Lu Xingchen dealt with that woman is quite similar to the way you dealt with Li Xue and Feng Pengfei."
They are all good at fighting, not talking. They don't say anything or scold, but just use their strength to beat the other party until they beg for mercy. The more I think about it, the more it looks like Jiang Haicheng said, "No wonder you look down on everyone except her. It turns out that you are the same kind of people."
When Li Zhen heard this, a smug smile appeared on his face for some reason. "Although you can't spit out ivory from your mouth, I still like to hear this sentence."
"Hey, as long as you and Lu Xingchen are linked together, is there anything you don't like to hear?"
Li Zhen glanced at him, "Not as vulgar as you."
Jiang Haicheng looked at Lu Xingchen and said quietly, "You know what, if you look closely, Lu Xingchen is really pretty, and you and I look a bit like a couple."
A couple look? Li Zhen was delighted and went to see Lu Xingchen with satisfaction.
Jiang Haicheng added: "I've been observing that girl for quite a while, and I can't really find any fault with her behavior. Was it a misunderstanding that she dumped you out of snobbishness?"
Li Zhen looked at Jiang Haicheng.
Jiang Haicheng also looked at him and said, "I think there is a good chance that Lu Xingchen still likes you."
Li Zhen felt joy welling up in his heart, "How do you know she likes me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he had been fooled.
Jiang Haicheng laughed, "You said you are not vulgar, but when it comes to Lu Xingchen, you are simply vulgar."
"Boss Jiang, Boss Li!"
The two people who were teasing each other looked over when they heard the sound. Zhang Chun'er was standing on the sidelines looking up at them. Beside her was a group of other very active sales staff.
Jiang Haicheng smiled and asked, "Is Chun'er okay?"
Zhang Chuner glanced at her colleagues who were making a fuss behind her, then looked at the two people in the audience and said, "They asked me to ask, does the promise Mr. Li made to me still count?"
Jiang Haicheng and Li Zhen were both stunned for a moment, but Jiang Haicheng remembered it first. Then, Zhang Chun'er, who seemed to be answering, actually reminded Li Zhen loudly, "Oh, it was last year when your live broadcast room broke the sales record on December 12. I asked Mr. Li to agree to do something for you, right?"
Li Zhen also remembered it, but there was no expression on his face.
Zhang Chun'er nodded embarrassedly.
Jiang Haicheng smiled and said, "Boss Li is here too, just ask him directly. If he doesn't agree, I can still tell you about it."
Encouraged by her colleagues, Zhang Chun'er looked at the high-ranking Li Zhen and said, "I heard that Mr. Li is very good at badminton. Can I invite Mr. Li to be my mixed doubles partner?"
Others also said: "We also want to watch Mr. Li play!"
Jiang Haicheng's eyes lit up. In this case, Li Zhen would most likely play against Lu Xingchen, and their bet would be even more interesting. "I thought it was a big deal. Mr. Li will also be included in today's friendly match. He has to agree to this."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhen.
The others also looked at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen glanced at Jiang Haicheng from the corner of his eye, lowered his head and replied to Zhang Chun'er with two words: "Okay."
Everyone cheered, and Jiang Haicheng made a gesture to silence them, "In order to surprise others, keep this news a secret from me!"
A few minutes later, Xu Lu hurriedly ran to Chen Xiaolin and whispered a few words into her ear. Chen Xiaolin was slightly surprised for a moment and smiled, "Since you want to keep it a secret, you should keep your mouth shut. You leaked out information from other departments without telling them."
