20 billion was a figure completely beyond Dai Li's imagination. He only had a vague concept. However, as a coach, he really hoped that Haiquan Fang could stay. After all, Fang had A-level talent; it would be a waste if he couldn't become an athlete. It was the same as a good chef not being able to use the best materials to make a dish; an outstanding jade master would not be able to stand if he was not allowed to carve jade. As for coaches, if he missed out on a talented athlete, he would be disappointed.

”Haiquan Fang, you would rather stay than retreat, right?” asked Li.

Fang nodded. ”Yes, I want to stay. I love long jump! It makes me feel like I can fly.”

”You wanna fly? I can buy you a plane! You can fly by plane to wherever you want!” Manager Fang snorted.

If someone else had said it, he may have been regarded as a joker. But Manager Fang was different. With his resources, it would not be a problem for him to buy a private plane, which is why nobody dared to laugh at him. Some salesmen might actually immediately come advertising their private planes to Manager Fang.

Worried about having a third quarrel, he turned to the father and said, ”Manager Fang, if you never wanted your son to become an athlete, why did you send him here? Our youth team only recruits juveniles, they can't enroll without a guardian's permission.”

Li was telling the truth. No matter what team it was, as long as it referred to juveniles, the recruitment required a guardian's permission and their signatures on relative contracts.

Upon mentioning this, Manager Fang became annoyed. ”This is all about his mother! She secretly sent him here, my son is spoiled by his mom!”

”I see.” Li was still smiling. ”in my opinion, it would be better for you to have a negotiation first. It seems like you and Mrs. Fang have different views. If you don't come up with a final decision, you might bring your son home only to have Mrs. Fang send him back tomorrow.”

”She wouldn't dare!” Manager Fang snorted again. He sounded less confident.

”Perhaps he is intimidated by his wife?” Li continued, ”Manager Fang, we have a high elimination rate, so much so that our training is too intensive for teenagers to insist. A lot of people give up by themselves because they can't stand it anymore. Usually, only 20% of athletes can make it until the end. Therefore, I suggest letting your son try first. There is no need to push him too hard right now. Besides, he is not willing to go back. How about you give him a chance?”

Hearing this, Manager Fang's face brightened. He thought that Li was indicating that his son may not hold on for much longer. What he didn't know, however, was that it was just Li's misdirection.

The father finally went back alone, while Haiquan Fang stayed. But Li could sense that Manager Fang wouldn't easily give up. He would return soon. Staring at his father's back, the son was still filled with anger.

”Hey, are you still annoyed?” asked Li.
