To be honest, it was hard for Chen Zhao to reject the price.
However, Chen Zhao did not agree immediately.
"Eveleigh, even I'm not confident that I can help you swim for seven minutes."
"I want ten million for ten days of training," Eveleigh said. "I don't mean that you have to help me swim for seven minutes."
"Fine, I really can't reject your price." In the end, Chen Zhao gave in to the evil money.
"Then when do we start training?"
"The sports meet starts on the 27th," Chen Zhao said. "Let's start training next week. You can use the sports meet to prove your results. Oh, why don't you switch to other swimming events?"
"I don't want to tire myself out," Eveleigh said.
Eveleigh was actually very similar to Chen Zhao. They were both hedonists.
If she participated in other events, such as 100m freestyle, 200m, 400m, or even 1500m, she was confident that she could win the world championship.
She was confident that she could win the world championship and even the world record.
However, it was very difficult for her to beat all the records like 800m freestyle.
If she won the other championships, it would not necessarily be the icing on the cake. If she regretted it, it would drag down her current reputation.
Her manager thought so too.
Unless Eveleigh could greatly improve her results in other events.
"You can try other events so that you won't lose interest."
"Okay, I'll try the 400m and 1500m freestyle events this time."
"That's right. At least I feel like my training is paying off."
"Ten million for ten days. One day is one million. I don't think there's anything more convincing than this."
"I still hope that you can prove the results of my training with your results."
"Oh, there's a party this weekend. Come with me."
"I want to sleep at home," Chen Zhao said honestly.
"Please," Eveleigh said. "I need someone to help me block some disturbances."
"What kind of party?"
"It's an executive party for my endorsement company."
"Why would you accept a party like that? You should at least have a student party. "
"I can't help it. The price they offered is too high. It's so high that even I can't refuse it. Although their party is an executive party, it's actually a negotiation between their company's boss and their business partners. I'm actually there to support their company, and the appearance fee of a million US dollars. Do I have any reason to refuse?"
Chen Zhao couldn't help but click his tongue. Was it really that easy for top athletes to earn money?
He was actually paid a million dollars to attend a party.
It was even faster than the speed at which he earned money.
"Why don't you find a bodyguard to go with you? He can be your male companion."
"Don't you think that teachers should protect their students?"
"Just this once?"
"Just this once, I promise you."
"Alright, give me the address."
"As my partner, you should at least pick me up with a car."
"My cargo truck. Are you sure you want me to pick you up?"
"Didn't you drive a sports car before?"
"Although it's my girlfriend's car, it's definitely the worst thing I've ever bought. Ever since my girlfriend got pregnant, we've never driven that car again. It's not as comfortable as the minivan."
The pursuit of a sports car was perfection in appearance and extreme power.
Although they had been constantly improving the interior experience, there was only so much space, and it was still unable to truly allow the driver to experience true comfort.
"Forget it, come and pick me up. You can drive a car from my house. I don't want to go to the party in a small truck."
"Can I refuse?"
"You've already promised me."
"If I knew this would happen, I would've refused you directly."
…
When Chen Zhao returned home, he saw that Gerlyn was playing with a skull.
Stunned, Chen Zhao looked up at Fali.
"Fali, why did you buy a toy like that for Gerlyn?" Chen Zhao asked, surprised.
"That's a real skull. It's your mail. I opened it. When Gerlyn saw it, she snatched it and played with it herself. If I forcefully took it away, she'd cry."
Chen Zhao opened his mouth and turned to look at Gerlyn. The skull was one-third of Gerlyn's size.
To be honest, Gerlyn looked pretty cute hugging a skull.
But the key was … this thing was a skull.
Even Chen Zhao didn't want to hug a skull.
Of course, he didn't want Gerlyn to hug a skull either.
"Which * sshole sent it to me?"
"It's there. It's the same woman called Fannity from last time."
Chen Zhao's face darkened. This woman had mailed him the metal object last time.
He'd thought it was a treasure map, so he and Fali went out to sea to find it.
In the end, it was a huge hole.
This time, she'd mailed him a skull.
What was she trying to do?
Did she have to mess up his life?
"Gerlyn, give this to Daddy."
"No, no … It's Gerlyn's, it's Gerlyn's." Gerlyn hugged the skull and ran out.
Chen Zhao chased after her and grabbed her by the back of her collar.
"No, no, don't take Gerlyn's."
"Give it to me." Chen Zhao snatched it by force.
He didn't know if it was dangerous. Chen Zhao really didn't feel safe letting Gerlyn hug it.
"Daddy … Give it to me, give it to me …" Gerlyn burst into tears.
Chen Zhao handed Gerlyn to Fali. "Fali, in the future, don't open anything from this Fannity woman. Who knows what's inside? At least open it when I'm around."
"Who's this Fannity?"
"An explorer. I've gone on two expeditions with her. Anything she sends can't be normal."
"Could there be some magic or curse in it?" Fali also felt that she'd been too rash.
She hadn't thought about it at first, because Chen Zhao would open packages for her before. She'd often open packages for him too.
The two of them had never hidden anything or anything from each other.
Hearing Chen Zhao say this, especially with a skull in the package, Fali instantly felt that she'd been too rash.
"No, Fannity doesn't know magic, but she only interacts with and studies ancient civilizations and ruins. Sometimes, she'll encounter supernatural creatures. She might not even know what she's sending."
"So we should be careful. If you're curious, call me."
"Okay, Chen, I was wrong."
"No, you weren't wrong."
