Chapter 208 Zhang Xu's mockery
Cheng Xu was startled by the sudden outburst from the two and unconsciously took a step back.
But he quickly regained his balance, his face still bearing that repulsive, mocking smile, though a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph, you think you can compete? I'm about to participate in a major tournament with my new team, and what are you doing here? Still daydreaming."
"Investor? I think she's been fooled by you, Su Ran. Just wait and see, she'll be crying someday."
Song Qianyi stood aside, watching all this quietly, her eyes revealing a hint of indifference and disdain.
Her gaze grew increasingly cold, like a frozen pool, fixed on Cheng Xu as if she could see right through him.
Cheng Xu couldn't help but shiver, and his arrogant demeanor subsided slightly.
Just when Cheng Xu couldn't take it anymore, their manager called him over.
Cheng Xu felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly turned around and, while walking away, pretended to be calm and uttered some harsh words.
"Just wait and see!"
Song Qianyi watched Cheng Xu's retreating figure, her eyes still filled with indifference.
Su Ran turned to her teammates and said.
"Alright, everyone, don't take his words to heart. This kind of person isn't worth our energy and emotions. We need to focus all our attention on training and prove to him that 'Star Blade' is not someone he can easily underestimate!"
The team members nodded in agreement, their anger gradually transforming into resolute expressions.
Song Qianyi slightly raised her chin, her voice clear yet powerful.
“That’s right, we have clear goals and plans, and every step we take next is crucial. I will provide everyone with all the necessary support and resources.”
Cheng Xu, on the other hand, was still shaken after returning to his manager's side.
The manager glared at him with displeasure.
"What's wrong with you? We're here to meet with investors, don't mess this up!"
Cheng Xu lowered his head and muttered softly.
"I just can't stand their attitude. They thought they were something special when they were in the team, but now that they're about to break up, they're still putting on a brave face."
The manager frowned.
"Why do you care about them? What you need to do now is get yourself in good shape and prepare for the next match. This investor is very important to our team. If we can reach an agreement, our team will experience a qualitative leap, and you will also have better opportunities for development."
A short while later, a middle-aged man in a sharp suit with a serious expression arrived.
He was followed by several assistants, who looked like seasoned veterans in the business world.
The manager immediately greeted him with a big smile, and Cheng Xu quickly straightened his team uniform, wanting to leave a good impression on the investor.
The manager bowed and scraped as he spoke.
"Mr. Zhao, you've finally arrived! You must have had a long journey. Our team members have been looking forward to your visit. Everyone is full of confidence for the future, especially Cheng Xu, who is a promising player for our team."
As she spoke, she pushed Cheng Xu forward.
A smile immediately appeared on Cheng Xu's face.
"Hello Mr. Zhao, I am Cheng Xu. I have always looked forward to achieving better results for the team with your support."
Zhao Chengxi simply nodded slightly, his face expressionless, but his eyes revealed the shrewdness and scrutiny characteristic of a businessman.
Cheng Xu felt a little uneasy, and the smile on his face became somewhat stiff.
He unconsciously rubbed the hem of his clothes repeatedly with both hands, his eyes fixed on General Manager Zhao, trying to catch a trace of approval in his expression.
The manager stood to the side with a broad smile, his eyes narrowed into slits as he leaned forward slightly.
His gaze lingered briefly on Cheng Xu before he began to look around.
After a brief glance at Cheng Xu, Zhao Chengxi began to subtly observe the other members of the team.
Suddenly, he saw Song Qianyi not far away, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Song Qianyi, the president of Yitian Group, was actually standing next to them.
Two days ago, he accompanied his wife to queue at the Ferris wheel in the resort, and was fortunate enough to learn about Song Qianyi's identity.
At that time, he wanted to talk to Song Qianyi to see if there was any opportunity for cooperation.
It's a pity that Song Qianyi left too quickly.
I never expected to run into President Song here. Isn't this a chance given to me by fate?
The manager noticed Zhao's unusual behavior and followed his gaze to Cheng Xu's former team. A bad feeling welled up in his heart.
He asked cautiously, "Mr. Zhao, do you know them?"
