#53 - Chapter 53 Final victory, high salary invitation

"Old Liang, what good news made you call me out?"

Asked Song Yuan, the boss of the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team.

The one who called him over was Liang Hui, the head coach of the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team.

Liang Hui poured a glass of wine for Song Yuan: "Boss, this time it's really good news. I've discovered a genius."

Song Yuan: "Old Liang, let me see… you've discovered nine geniuses in the five years you've been head coach, no, including this one, it's ten."

"But the results are not good."

His team is now just barely managing to stay afloat.

Liang Hui was a little embarrassed.

"Boss, the previous ones were small geniuses, this time it's a big genius."

Song Yuan said unhappily: "Next time it will be a top genius, then a super genius that is rare to see in a century, and the next time will it be a peerless genius that is rare to see in a millennium."

Liang Hui: "…"

"Old Liang, it's already difficult to maintain as it is. If you bring back another genius, I estimate I'll have to put in a lot more each month."

"The general environment is not good, and even landlords don't have surplus grain."

Liang Hui took out a prepared tablet computer: "Boss, you'll understand after watching a few videos."

As he spoke, he turned on the tablet and clicked on a video.

In the video, a young man easily broke through the defense, and then leaped up like lightning to perform a violent dunk.

"Oh—"

A look of surprise appeared in Song Yuan's eyes, "He's very fast. I'm afraid his speed is unmatched in our team."

"Boss, watch this again."

Liang Hui flipped to the next video. He had edited it, leaving only some key clips.

In this clip, Lin Chen took off from outside the three-point line and dunked.

"What a strong jumping ability, and his body control is also very strong."

A look of joy appeared in Song Yuan's eyes.

Liang Hui flipped to the third clip, Lin Chen easily made a three-pointer.

"This is average."

"His opponents are very weak, making a three-pointer doesn't mean anything."

Song Yuan shook his head.

Liang Hui: "In his four games, he shot a total of thirteen three-pointers and made ten. Boss, do you still think it's ordinary?"

Song Yuan said in surprise: "Ten out of thirteen? This hit rate is terrifying, but four games, why did he only have thirteen shots?"

Liang Hui: "He only played for ten minutes in the first game, making four of five shots, and scored twenty-something points by himself."

"Reversing the situation."

"Later, he mainly gave opportunities to others and took fewer shots himself, otherwise the data would be far more than this."

Song Yuan was shocked.

Even if the opponents are weak, scoring twenty-something points in ten minutes?

Being able to score twenty-something points in a game is already amazing.

"Old Liang, he is indeed a good seed. Just poach him directly. You didn't report every one of them before."

Song Yuan said.

Such a good seed cannot be snatched by others.

"Boss, it's a bit difficult to poach him."

Song Yuan: "Does he want more money, and you need my consent? I'm still willing to spend money on such a genius. Tell me, how much will it take to poach him?"

Liang Hui sighed.

"I haven't contacted him yet, he hasn't quoted a price, but according to the information I've received, he has a good wife. I'm afraid it will affect him joining our team."

Song Yuan frowned: "You said he has a good wife, and also said his wife will affect him joining our team, what's going on?"

"Why does it sound a bit contradictory to me?"

Liang Hui smiled wryly: "His wife is too good. His wife is Xu Mengyao."

Song Yuan was stunned.

"Xu Mengyao, the daughter of Xu Guofeng, President Xu?"

"Yes."

Song Yuan: "…"

He said unhappily: "Old Liang, then aren't you making fun of me? My assets are barely one-tenth of the Xu family's."

"How can I be capable of poaching Xu Mengyao's husband?"

Liang Hui and Song Yuan drank a glass of wine and said, "Boss, it's not completely impossible. His name is Lin Chen, he comes from an ordinary family, and now he stays at home to take care of the children."

Song Yuan: "The woman is in charge outside, and the man is in charge inside?"

"Lin Chen has such a high level, what a waste of talent."

Liang Hui nodded: "Yes. They have a final tomorrow. I was originally thinking of going to take a look, and then poaching him back, but I didn't expect he was Xu Mengyao's husband."

"So—"

Liang Hui smiled sheepishly.

Song Yuan: "So you want to pull me along? My face is not much bigger than yours in front of Xu Mengyao."

"But if we go together, it will be more sincere."

After considering for a while, Song Yuan nodded: "Anyway, I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I'll take a trip with you tomorrow."

……

The time came to the next day in the afternoon.

Song Yuan and Liang Hui sat down next to the court in a low-key manner.

Many spectators had already gathered around the court.

Lin Chen came over holding Lin Xiaoxi, and Xu Mengyao was next to him.

"President."

"Brother Lin."

Many people around greeted them.

At the sideline, Lin Chen gave Lin Xiaoxi to Xu Mengyao.

"Daddy, good luck."

Lin Xiaoxi said sweetly.

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and said with a smile, "Xiaoxi cheered me on, what about you, wife?"

Xu Mengyao: "…"

Many people were watching, and Xu Mengyao said, "Husband, good luck."

Lin Chen and Xu Dong entered the arena.

The game started quickly.

Song Yuan and Liang Hui were a little uncomfortable watching. The level of those people other than Lin Chen was very amateur.

But they didn't come to see those people.

"Bang!"

"Swish!"

Lin Chen started his performance.

Dunk, three-pointer, Lin Chen scored easily and comfortably.

He had also taught Lin Xiaoxi to play basketball for a lot of time in the past two days, and his skills had improved a lot on the previous basis.

It's already close to the Grandmaster level.

The Grandmaster level is the top level in the country, Lin Chen has not reached it yet, but his physique is much stronger than that of basketball players.

Coupled with his strong physique, Lin Chen's basketball level is definitely the top level in the country.

"Boss, how is it?"

Liang Hui asked in a low voice as the game neared its end.

Song Yuan: "Lin Chen is very strong, but his opponents are too weak, and his strength may not have been fully utilized. Let's talk to Xu Mengyao and them later."

"Yes."

The game ended quickly.

Without a doubt, Lin Chen's team won first place.

"Brother Lin, thanks for carrying us."

"Brother Lin, shall we treat you to a drink tonight?"

Xu Dong and the others opened their mouths happily.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Drinking is fine, but let me treat you. I'll tell you after I find a good place."

"How about six o'clock?"

Xu Dong and the others nodded. It's four thirty now, so taking a shower and resting is just right for going out to eat and drink.

"Wife, I've made an appointment with Xu Dong and the others to drink tonight. You and Xiaoxi won't go, right? If you go, Xu Dong and the others will probably not be able to let go at all."

Lin Chen said as he approached Xu Mengyao.

Xu Mengyao nodded: "Go to the second floor with me."

Letting the assistant take Lin Xiaoxi first, Xu Mengyao and Lin Chen went to the second floor, where there are only two people now.

"President Song, Coach Liang."

Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao approached, and Xu Mengyao said.

"Hello, President Xu."

Song Yuan and Coach Liang said quickly.

"President Song, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Lin Chen. Husband, this is Song Yuan, President Song, the boss of the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, and this is head coach Liang Hui."

Xu Mengyao said with a smile.

Lin Chen shook hands with Song Yuan and the others.

His expression was calm. He didn't have as much money as Song Yuan and the others, but he had various skills, and those were his confidence.

Liang Hui rubbed his hands and said, "Lin Chen, your level is extremely high, are you interested in joining our Shanghai Men's Basketball Team?"

Song Yuan: "We can give you an annual salary of eight million."
