Chapter 56 – Must win! (2/2)

Dong Xuebing sighed with relieved.

After that, Xue Yan took out her pen and start scribbling on her notebook. She seems to be planning for tomorrow’s tactics.

Xu Yan had influence over who to take over the role of Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Office. These few days, Guo Shunjie had tried to be closer to her but was unsuccessful. When he saw Dong Xuebing sitting beside her, he was furious. Guo Shunjie had made plans to get rid of Dong Xuebing once District Political Commissar Zhou helped him get the position. He must get rid of him at all cost!

Dong Xuebing also noticed Guo Shunjie staring at him. He felt uncomfortable.

Dong Xuebing would rather offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. This Guo Shunjie must be up to no good!

No! He must not be the Deputy Chief! I must work harder to get the position!

Soon, the bus enters the Western District Branch Bureau’s main gates, and everyone starts to alight. It was after working hours, and there were no one around.

Xu Yan was the last to alight from the bus. She stood there looking at all the players. “Thankfully Xiao Dong was able to save that penalty kick today, and we can end our 6 matches losing streak. But remember this. We still have not won a match for 7 matches. We are the last team of the tournament. Don’t you all feel embarrassed?”

Guo Shunjie wanted to voice out that they were embarrassed. But the team was not strong enough.

Xu Yan continued with a cold look on her face. “Today, I want all of you to go back and have a good rest. At the same time, reflect on the reason why we can’t win a single match. Tomorrow is the last match of the tournament. I don’t want to see us getting a draw or lose. Tomorrow we will be facing Eastern District. We must win! We will show them how good the Western District is! Are you all confident of getting a win tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“…… Yes.”

The players replied weakly.

“I can’t hear you!” Xu Yan shouted. “Are you all confident?”

“Yes!” This time, the players’ replies were louder.

“Good. Dismiss!” Xu Yan was acting like a coach.

Actually, the players who knew the insider information knew why Xu Yan was so serious. The opponent tomorrow was Xu Yan’s long-time rival, Deputy District Political Commissar Xu. No matter whether it was officially or privately, Xu Yan does not want to lose to Deputy District Political Commissar Xu.

On the way home, Dong Xuebing was thinking about the day’s event.

He had left a good impression with Xu Yan. But it was not enough. She would not help him get the position of Deputy Chief over such a trivial matter. If he wants Xu Yan to help him, he must do something more significant and will mean a lot to her. But what should he do? Eh? Tomorrow’s match is significant to Xu Yan and the Western District team! 7 games without a single win?! No one will want that result! This is a must win the match! Then…… what should Dong Xuebing do to perform and let Xu Yan be grateful to him?

That’s right!

Must make use of this opportunity to get closer with the leaders! This way, Guo Shunjie will not be promoted!

Penalty! Let tomorrow’s match have a penalty!

I pray for a chance to save a penalty kick again tomorrow!

Tomorrow’s match is critical!
