558 The Beauty of the Tennis World (2/2)

”Does he talk about how he wants to beat me?” Tell replied.

Dai Li thought about it and nodded, ”Yes, he did mention it.”

”That's what I thought. I knew when he no longer wanted to train with me it meant that he wanted to beat me.” Tell shook his head helplessly, but a bitter smile spread across his face.

”Mr. Brown, it seems that you know your brother very well,” Dai Li said.

”I've always known that he wanted to beat me. He always wants to outdo me. Hansen was always eager to excel, even as a child. Back then, he wanted more praise from our parents. After becoming an athlete, he always wanted to do better in training than me. In competitions, he also wanted to beat me.” Tell seemed to be talking to himself but, at the same time, also talking to Dai Li

”It is true that Hansen is working hard. But to be honest, after seeing you, I think that Hansen may not be able to beat you in a race. Hansen is very talented at running triathlons, but you are even more talented,” Dai Li said.

When he heard of Dai Li's evaluation, surprise flashed through Tell's eyes.

”Actually, I am also very competitive. I like to get first place. I just don't want to beat my brother to get it. I don't want to compete with him. It will make our relationship awkward,” Tell said.

”I have trained many world champions, and they are all eager to excel,” Dai Li replied with a smile. He then lowered his voice and then said, ”Mr. Brown, I have a question. Have you thought about letting your brother win once?”

”I have certainly thought about it, but I can't do that.” Tell shook his head.

”In the spirit of fair play or because you want to keep all the glory?” Dai Li asked in a whisper.

”Neither,” said Tell. ”I don't want to hurt Hansen's pride. He is a very prideful person. If he knew that I deliberately let him win, he would blame me. He may think that I was treating him like a charity case. The relationship between us brothers would get even worse. So Coach Li, I really hope that you can help Hansen achieve a breakthrough and beat me. Our relationship would definitely get easier. At least he would not go to the United States to avoid me.”

Dai Li nodded. He could feel that the Brown Brothers had a relationship that was competitive, affectionate, and some other things that couldn't be said. It was far more complicated than what was on the surface.

...

Tell Brown had just left with a wine glass. A brown-haired girl strolled over leisurely. She was about 1.8 meters tall and she wore a diamond-encrusted black evening gown. The upper part of the dress had straps and revealed her cleavage, the lower part of the dress had a split that revealed a pair of long legs. It was an attractive look.

It's Helen Pepe. Dai Li immediately recognized this person.

Helen Pepe was an Italian tennis player. She had the nickname ”Tennis Elf.” It was easy to guess from this nickname that she was beautiful. In fact, Helen Pepe was regarded as the ”the beauty of the tennis world.” She had a body with perfect proportions, and she was also the darling of the catwalk runway. Many fashion weeks invited her to walk The appearance fees they gave her was more what they gave supermodels.

In tennis, Helen Pepe was one of the best in the world. So far, she had won three Grand Slam titles and dozens of other world championships.

Helen Pepe was the kind of person who could obviously rely on her looks to make a living but instead chose to rely on her own strength.

After Helen Pepe expressed her congratulations to Dai Li, she asked, ”Coach Li, I heard that you were very proficient in rehabilitation training?”

”Miss Pepe, how did you know?” Dai Li asked with a slight surprise.

Those who had come to congratulate Dai Li before all talked about his physical training centers. Everyone knew that Dai Li had a large-scale physical training center in the United States. It was like a golden hen in that it brought in a considerable income to Dai Li every year. The radiance of the training center masked Dai Li's personal ability, so few people mention Dai Li's coaching ability. None of them talked about his rehabilitation ability.

”It was the car king who told me,” Pepe glanced in the direction of Helheim.

”Helheim,” Dai Li smiled helplessly. He then nodded, ”It is true. I am really good at rehabilitation training. When I first started my business, a large part of it was paid for with Helheim's treatment fees.”

”A few days ago, at the Australian Open, I had to withdraw due to an injury. The injury has recently gotten better, but my body has not returned to its previous level. I would like to ask the great Coach Li to help with my rehabilitation training. Coach Li, when I go to find you, you have to give me a discount!” Pepe said as she gave him a wink.

Pepe's wink suddenly left Dai Li slightly unsettled.

Beauty was indeed a very useful weapon. In the face of this ”Tennis Elf's” request, no man could refuse. Dai Li was as straight as one could be, so Dai Li nodded immediately.

”No problem, it would be my pleasure to be able to receive such a beautiful customer as Miss Pepe. I can give you a 50% discount. That is already the net cost.”

After Dai Li finished, he detected Pepe's situation and went on to say, ”The calf muscle strain in your calf is not serious. I estimate that one month of rehabilitation, plus a half-month rest will completely heal it. However, the hip injury is somewhat complicated. The long-term strain causes the inflammation to act up frequently. If you want to cure it completely, it will take at least half a year of rehabilitation training. This might affect your participation in Wimbledon.”

After listening to Dai Li, Pepe's face looked panicked.

”How did you know about the hip injury?”
