NOVEL NEXT Chapter 748: 676
Wu Xu was focusing on the inner path, and although he wasn't a coach, he could tell that the baseball team organized by the city sports stadium was more in sync and mature overall than Junshan University's baseball team.
This made Wu Xu very frustrated, momentum-wise, Junshan University was a notch down, did they really have to lose to that scumbag Shi Miao?
On the opposite side of the field, Shi Miao gave Wu Xu a taunting smile, then extended his thumbs up, tipping it downwards...
"Damn! Shit, that's arrogant!" Wu Xu's face instantly darkened, wishing he could go over and slap him a few times.
The ball game began.
First off, the Junshan University baseball team pitched.
But the first ball was hit back by the city sports stadium, striking directly on the chest of a Junshan player, causing so much pain that he crouched down and couldn't get up for a long while.
In that moment, cheers erupted from the stadium, whistles blew, men watched with passion, such fierce counterattacks really fire up the blood.
But on Junshan University side, everyone was furious, cursing nonstop, that was a foul play.
Following that, the city sports stadium team members each raised their middle fingers, showing disdain and arrogance. The showiest of them all was Shi Miao, who even shook his crotch at Wu Xu, miming a vulgar gesture.
Wu Xu, seeing this, had an awful expression and stood up to walk towards Coach Liu Chen of the Junshan baseball team.
"Coach Liu, it seems our players aren't in good spirits!" Wu Xu remarked.
Liu Chen smiled wryly: "Assistant Wu, actually, Junshan also found some good prospects this year, but those prospects were banned from participating in the baseball competition by Director Yu of the Academic Guidance Office because of fighting, now the team's level has dropped by more than half, and losing the main players, everyone has lost confidence, this game is really not easy."
"Oh! Is that so?" Wu Xu's eyes lit up, then asked, "Where are those players who didn't come?"
"Over there!" Liu Chen pointed towards a spectator seat.
Wu Xu looked over, and unexpectedly found Liu Yanyan there, who was talking to three students looking both anxious and annoyed, he couldn't tell what they were discussing.
Wu Xu quietly approached, and heard Liu Yanyan saying: "Ding Ye! Do you really have the heart to see Junshan baseball team lose face and become a laughingstock today? I'm begging you, please stop being stubborn."
The three students, all tall, two of them remarkably alike, seemed to be twins!! Another one, clean and handsome, attracted frequent gazes and whispers from many female students around.
"Director Liu? What's wrong?" Wu Xu asked with a light laugh as he walked over.
Liu Yanyan, seeing Wu Xu, immediately shook her head in distress: "It's the baseball team's three players, they had some misunderstandings with the school, and now don't want to join the baseball team anymore."
Wu Xu looked at the three students who completely disregarded Liu Yanyan and Wu Xu, only showing disdain for the ongoing baseball game.
"Heh, Director Liu, let me talk to them," Wu Xu said with a smile, glancing over the three students.
"Alright!" Liu Yanyan could only nod helplessly, her mouth dry from talking, and these three guys still showed no care, she really had no other options.
Wu Xu sat down beside the three, chuckled and said: "I've heard about your situation, initially, I felt you were quite spirited, but now, I look down on you."
The three students, previously appearing focused on the game, suddenly turned their heads, looking coldly at Wu Xu.
"What? You think I'm wrong?" Wu Xu pursed his lips, thinking 'at least there's a reaction', yet his face showed a cold smile: "I heard you were banned from competing in the games because of fighting, well, that seems alright, following proper procedures, upholding the school's honor. But aren't you too obedient? He says no baseball, then no baseball? Don't you see what's more important, the school's honor at stake in this competition? If Junshan's baseball team loses, decades of reputation built will vanish all at once, no one will like to play baseball at Junshan anymore, is this what you want to see? This should be clear even to that director of the Guidance Office, yet why at such a critical moment, did he ban the best three players from playing? Isn't that contradictory?"
"So what? He's the director, naturally what he says goes," the good-looking boy Ding Ye suddenly spoke, his tone laced with barely concealed mocking.
"Is the guidance director bigger? Or the principal?" Wu Xu suddenly asked with a smile.
The three students were momentarily stunned.
"I have a way that allows you to continue playing, and you won't have to worry about getting penalized, would you be willing to give it a try?" Wu Xu added.
"You say?" The three students are now interested, no longer watching the baseball field, instead, they looked curiously at Wu Xu.
"First, go get ready, participate in the baseball game later, remember, you must win this match, furthermore, play beautifully, don't hold back. This not only can boost morale but also win more benefits for the baseball team. As for the Guidance Office, under the principal's authority, wouldn't dare make a wrong move, compared to the school's century-long reputation, a guidance director counts for nothing. Additionally, having been reprimanded by that what's-his-name director, you must feel aggrieved. I'm a straightforward guy, I like being direct, if the Guidance Office messed with me, I'd definitely wreck his ass, and give it back." Wu Xu revealed a wicked smile.
The three students all brightened up at this, evidently none of them were the docile type.
Ding Ye looked at his two brothers beside him, Zhou Feng and Zhou Xuan, both of whom said with a smile: "Ding Ye, we'll follow your lead."
