Chapter 5: Retain Customers (2/2)

”No, I can't let him give them refunds! I will be unemployed if they all leave.” Dai Li mulled it over for a few seconds and figured out what he was going to say.

Dai Li walked in front of the parents and began. ”Everybody please take it easy. I just found out what happened. Coach Shouliang Zhao is no longer in our Talent Education program. But you still have me!”

”What do we need you for? Go get your diploma first!” someone amongst the parents said.

”My major is sports training. This is what I've been studying. Speaking of the result of training, I have confidence that he is no better than me,” Dai Li said.

”You gotta be kidding me!” the parents said with contempt. From their point of view, they couldn't understand how an undergraduate student had the nerve to compare himself with a professional coach from a municipal sports team!

”You are teacher Li, right? It's good that young people have faith in themselves. But don't reach for what's beyond your capability. Coach Shouliang Zhao is a professional coach from a municipal sports team. An undergraduate student like you should be modest and learn from him,” a parent with a beard said.

”But I really can improve your children's scores,” Dai Li said immediately.

With the help of the top-level coach card, Dai Li was superior to anyone else in the world when it came to training results. This gave Dai Li the confidence to speak like this. However, this kind of confidence was seen as conceited and arrogant by the parents.

”Let's stop wasting our time here with him. He is just an undergraduate student, and this is his first day. He knows nothing! Let's get our refunds and sign up for another training class. Our children can't be held up,” said Zhenye Zhu's mother, dragging her son.

Xiaoming Huang's father also added, ”I saved Coach Shouliang Zhao's number when I signed up. After we get our refunds, I'll call him to see where he is and if he is still coaching any classes. The day I signed up here, he promised me that after the two-week training, he could have my son doing at least five to six pull-ups. Maybe my son will be able to pass the exam with his help!”

Dai Li saw a glimmer of hope after he heard what Xiaoming Huang's dad said.

”Wait a moment!” he said. ”You said Coach Shouliang Zhao promised you that he could make Xiaoming Huang do five pull-ups after the two-week program?”

Xiaoming Huang's dad turned around and said, ”What? You don't believe it? He is a real professional coach. It's normal that he is better than you at training.”

”Look how you scared Teacher Li,” said Zhenye Zhu's mother, who was standing right next to him. ”The real professional coach sounds so incredible compared to the others. It seems like he really has talent in coaching if he can make promises like that. Could you please check for my son as well and see if there are any vacancies in his class once you contact him? I want to send my son there too.”

”It's destiny that we all gathered together here, man. Don't forget us if you manage to contact him! Coach Zhao also promised me that he would make my son pass the exam as well,” another parent said anxiously.

Xiaoming Huang's father had become the most welcomed person here now.

Dai Li took one step forward and continued asking, ”Are you sure? Coach Shouliang Zhao said he could make Xiaoming Huang do five pull-ups in two weeks?”

”What do you mean? Are you looking down upon my son?” Xiaoming Huang's dad got very angry. He continued, ”My son is a little big. But he is not that bad! You don't believe he could do five pull-ups after a two-week training? Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean the others can't!”

The other parents echoed his words. ”He is a professional coach, different from you. It might be hard for you to believe. Maybe you should just go back to school and study harder from the beginning. Maybe after 10 or 20 years you can reach Coach Zhao's level. Who knows.”

Their sarcastic words didn't make Dai Li feel angry. On the contrary, he sighed with relief and smiled. ”If what you said is true then I'm not worrying anymore!”

The next second, Dai Li pointed at Xiaoming Huang and said, ”Xiaoming Huang. Get on the horizontal bar and show your dad the result of our first day of training!”

Dai Li made it extra clear and loud when he said the words ”first day”.
