Chapter 624: Best Actor Shen’s Counterattack (4)

Qiao Lian was still not home yet when Shen Liangchuan got back. She was at the clubhouse, watching the team train with video games.

Although they had clinched the Beijing regional competition’s first prize, the national championship was in two weeks.

The team surely had seen the news and articles on what had happened to the company.

Qiao Lian was there to quell any anxiety.

Unexpectedly, the six of them did not even mention anything in relation to this and were fully focused on their training. Their attitude was one that anybody looking in would be proud of.

Still, Qiao Lian felt that she should explain the situation to them. “Don’t you guys worry, you will still get your pay in full.”

The six of them exchanged looks with each other, and Su Penghao finally spoke up, “Coach Qiao, we’ve thought about it. We’ve decided not to take a salary for these few months. When we manage to get into the finals and clinch the top prize and the cash, we’ll take our salary from that.”

All of them nodded simultaneously at these words.

As Qiao Lian looked at the team, emotions welled up in her heart.

The last match had united them in an unprecedented way.

After all the difficulties they had been through together, she believed that this team was more united than any other team.

As she walked out of the team’s villa, she heard a sound behind her. Turning around, she saw Ancestor White Bones walking after her.

Her family situation came to Qiao Lian’s mind and, before Ancestor White Bones could speak, Qiao Lian said, “White Bones, don’t worry, you will be paid on time.”

Otherwise, without money going to her family, her parents would turn up again and create a scene.

Ancestor White Bones paused for a moment and said, “Coach Qiao, it’s not about that. I just wanted to tell you that Purple Fairy was here very recently.”

Qiao Lian kept silent when she heard this.

Ever since she had found out that King Fighting Team belonged to Sun Linan, she had not seen him.

Furthermore, after she had returned from her trip to Hengdian to visit Shen Liangchuan, she had heard that the team had disbanded.

So why had Purple Fairy come looking for them?

Seeing the puzzled look on Qiai Lian’s face, Ancestor White Bones smiled and continued, “Purple Fairy told us that the company had gone broke and that you won’t be able to pay us our salaries from now on. She was planning to find a sponsor and wanted us to join her.”

Qiao Lian understood at once. This guy was still using the same tactic.

However…

Ancestor White Bones continued, “But all of us rejected her proposal.”

Qiao Lian nodded and said, “I understand, and I believe what you’re saying.”

After weathering all those storms, the group that remained had become the core of the team.

Nodding, Ancestor White Bones added, “We all feel that we are playing with this team for the sake of our dreams and aspirations, and not for the money. So Purple Fairy has grossly misjudged us if she thinks that she can put a monetary value to us. Besides, playing for this team ignites the passion in us.”

After these words, she finally said, “Coach Qiao, the reason that I’m telling you this is to let you know that no matter what happens, our team will always be here.”

Qiao Lian was touched by their sentiments and nodded to show she understood.

By the time she got back to the villa, Shen Liangchuan was already home.

As she reached the top of the stairs to the second floor, she heard Song Cheng say, “All of Beijing’s most influential people will be at the business function tomorrow evening. The potential sponsors that we’re targeting will be there too—”

Before he could finish, Shen Liangchuan raised an eyebrow and interrupted him, “Get the suit ready, I’ll be there tomorrow.”

Song Cheng nodded. As he turned around, he saw Qiao Lian and paused for a moment before he greeted her, “Ms. Qiao.”
