Chapter 285 Forming a Team
After enduring two back to back lessons, the meeting room was more of a crematorium’s atmosphere. Each player felt extremely drained and fatigued. Luckily, the bald man did not drag the lesson. At 8.30 p.m. sharp, the captain came to the meeting room and clapped his hands.
“I know that you are tired of lessons. Next up, physical training might just help you unwind your brains.”
This time, all moaned and wailed at the same time. Earlier, all the players wanted to question the captain when he told them that there was a three and a half-hour gap between the second and third cla.s.s. When they were told that they needed to attend cla.s.s at midnight, they realized it didn’t make sense to have such a long gap.
As expected, the captain ignored their groans.
“I will see you in seven minutes. The last to arrive will have to do five sets of pull-ups!”
Even before he was done talking, the players scurried out of the cla.s.sroom to the meet-up point. Shortly after they started running, the girl tripped and fell. The plump man was running in front of her, and turned around to help her up. Suddenly, something crossed his mind, and he quickly retrieved his hand. However, he did stop to show his concern. “Are you okay?” “I’m fine. I must have tripped over something. You go on ahead first.” The girl put on a shallow smile, took off one of her shoes, and leaned on the wall to check her feet. The plump man knew that it was inappropriate for him to keep staring at her legs. So, he gulped, mustered some courage, and asked her, “Do you want me to carry you?”
“You are so nice. I’m fine. You should get to the gym now. Don’t fall behind!” the girl replied with concern.
“Sigh… I don’t think I can outrun them anyway.”
It was rare for the plump guy to get this close to a girl, especially someone as attractive as this one. He was so nervous; he had to wipe off his sweaty palms on his pants.
“Let me help you over to the gym.” “Thank you.”
The girl then put her arms over tubby’s shoulder.
“Zhen Xiong,” said the girl softly. “Ah?!”
The plump man was startled upon hearing the girl speak out her name.
“That’s my name.”
“Oh, oh, oh… Sorry… Sorry!”
His face started flus.h.i.+ng, his heart fluttering a little. He had no idea why he even apologized to her.
“My real name is Jia Lai. I’m an employee of JD Corporation in the real world.”
“That’s one of the top 500 corporations in the world!” exclaimed Zhen Xiong with her eyes wide open.
“No… no… I’m just an owner of a grocery. It’s now part of JD’s franchise stores. All I did is change the name of my store. I still have to do everything myself. I’ve only seen JD’s CEO on TV before.”
“Anyway, I think it’s not that easy to manage the whole place. Can I visit your shop next time if I’m in the mood for some snacks…” Zhen Xiong did not look down on Jia Lai; every word she uttered was sincere and truthful. Suddenly, she lowered her voice.
“Bro Jia, do you have a mission failure exemption card?”
