Gaia hung up. Chen Zhao's face was filled with awkwardness.
The more Gaia and Morgery were unwilling to talk about their grudge, the more curious Chen Zhao was.
Everyone was curious. With Gaia and Morgery so hesitant, Chen Zhao became even more suspicious of their pasts.
Chen Zhao also went home before Fali arrived. He had already prepared dinner.
In the evening, Fali came back. Seeing that Chen Zhao had already prepared dinner, she took off her jacket and hugged him.
"How come you're back so early today?"
"I don't have anything to do today," Chen Zhao said. "Do you want to take a shower first?"
"No, I've been in the sea for the whole day. Let's eat first."
"I might have to leave for 24 hours in two days," Chen Zhao said.
"Oh, you're going there?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"I'm not sure yet." Chen Zhao shook his head. He'd already asked Obitos to send a message to his father.
As for when Obitos would give him an accurate answer, he wasn't sure either.
…
"Ms. Wright, hello." Lucian entered Wright's office.
Wright pushed her glasses up. She didn't need glasses anymore, but to avoid suspicion, she still wore a pair without prescription. "Lucian, what's up?"
"Ms. Wright, I'm here to report to you about the $200,000 we requested," Lucian said.
"Okay, tell me. In the past few years, we've never needed $200,000 in all the UC sports competitions we've participated in, unless you want to stay in a five-star hotel during the competition."
"Actually, it's a request from the track and field department. They want to hire a coach, and apparently, it's very expensive."
"You don't know?"
"Yes. Actually, I have no idea who the track and field department wants to hire. But according to Grint, the head of the track and field department, the sprinter, the coach they want to hire has great stamina. He also has a special fitness method that can greatly improve athletes' stamina."
"Then how long will this coach last? One year? Two years? How long will it take? How many students in our school can receive his training? "
"Uh … I heard that the coach won't be in charge of training students with sports specialties. He'll only do targeted training for no more than 20 days."
"What? You want me to spend two hundred thousand dollars just so that one or two students might do well in a school sports meet? Mr. Lucian, please leave my office. I can never agree to that. "
Not to mention Wright, even Lucian felt that this request was too much.
He was also a coach in the sports department. He had served as a coach for several schools and was now the head of the sports department.
However, in the past, he had been a high school sports coach, and his annual salary was less than 60,000 USD.
But now, he had to hire a coach for 20 days, which would cost him $200,000.
It was simply extortion. Not to mention Wright, even he found it unbelievable.
Previously, the track and field department had strongly urged him to do so, so he was willing to give it a try.
As expected, he was scolded by Wright.
Lucian came to the track and field department. Grint saw Lucian and immediately ran over. "Mr. Lucian, may I ask if the application for the funding has been approved?"
Lucian shook his head. "You should know that the school will never agree."
"I am willing to take a loan from the school. When I become a professional athlete, I will pay the school back slowly."
Lucian smiled bitterly. If it was a guaranteed future, the school would definitely be willing to train him for free.
But who could say that Grint would definitely succeed?
What's more, although Grinth's results were good within the school, he was still far from being able to compete with professional players.
Lucian shook his head and patted Grint's shoulder. Then, he turned around and left.
Just then, Eveleigh walked over. "Grint, how was it? Did the school agree? "
Grint shook his head. "No, the school will never agree."
"How about I lend you money personally?" Eveleigh suddenly asked.
"What?"
"I'll lend you money personally, but you have to help me record that person's training methods and diet. If you can do that, I'll lend you the money."
"What about the interest?" Grint was tempted.
"If you can dig out the secret of his training, I won't charge you any interest. But if you can't, you'll have to pay back the bank's interest."
"Okay … but I don't know how to contact him."
"I'll get it for you."
"But … are you sure it'll work?" Grint was a bit hesitant.
After all, 200,000 USD was not a small amount. Even his family could not afford such a huge sum of money.
If the training was effective, then everything would be fine. He could become a professional athlete, achieve results, and then pay back the money.
But if it was ineffective, then he would spend the money without any results. Then, he would have to bear a huge debt of two hundred thousand dollars.
"That's not my problem. If you're willing to take the risk."
"That's too risky … I need to think about it." Grint decided to back out.
Although it looked tempting, the consequences could be very serious.
Such a huge sum of money could very well ruin his entire life.
Eveleigh shrugged. She was just curious.
She wouldn't spend two hundred thousand dollars just to satisfy her curiosity.
"Sister Normans." Eveleigh called Normans.
"Yes?"
"Are you sure that guy is really good at physical training?"
"Yes, he's very good at it. As long as you listen to his training and diet, the results will be very good."
"I want to ask him to train me in swimming, but I'm not sure if it'll work."
"Oh, you're worried that it won't work?"
"Of course. You said that his fees are not low. He took four hundred thousand dollars for thirty days of slimming. I'm afraid that no coach in the world charges as much as him."
"Who said so? NBA coaches do."
"He's not an NBA coach. He's just an illegal doctor. He's not a professional coach yet."
"So do you want it or not? If you do, I'll help you contact him. "
"Sister Normans, why don't you pay part of it for me? I see that you're so enthusiastic about introducing him to me. "
"I don't care. Whether you can achieve results or not doesn't benefit me at all. Why should I pay for you?"
"We're good sisters."
"Come on. In the three years that I've fallen, you've only come to see me three times."
"Okay, okay, but I still want to talk to him in person."
