The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 201 [Venerable Basketball Club] Fourth Update!
Chapter Four!
Chu Qingxue gave Ye Chenfeng a smug look, "When we were in school, I was the one who cooked at home. It’s just that I’m too busy now, so I hired a housekeeper to do it!"
"Watch me!"
Ye Chenfeng, intentionally competing with Chu Qingxue, started cooking.
"Is this Indian samosas? Vietnamese spring rolls?..." Chu Qingxue’s eyes lit up as she looked at the various dishes.
"Ye Chenfeng, you’re this good?" Chu Qingxue couldn’t help but exclaim.
"You’re just now realizing it?" Ye Chenfeng said.
Chu Qingxue found that Ye Chenfeng was actually quite good, skilled in medicine and cooking. Coupled with his performance in the Thousand Lakes District that day, she thought he was pretty good. She wondered if it was because of Chu Qingfei that she had this illusion.
"Brother-in-law, you’re amazing! The samosas taste so authentic..." At the dining table, Chu Qingfei kept praising Ye Chenfeng, and the little girl had a smile on her face the whole time.
Chu Qingxue was puzzled. She had rejected her earlier, so she should have been in a bad mood. Why was she so cheerful?
After lunch.
"Brother-in-law, do you have time?" Chu Qingfei asked first.
"Yes!" Ye Chenfeng replied.
Chu Qingfei quickly said, "Great, there’s a Taekwondo match. Will you go with me? I’m scared to go alone!"
"I..."
Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to reply, Chu Qingxue interrupted, "Qingfei, you go by yourself. Your brother-in-law has things to do!"
"What things?" Chu Qingfei obviously didn’t believe it.
"Well... right, the finals of the domestic top-tier basketball league are about to start. I have to go to the Venerable Basketball Club under the Chu Family. Your brother-in-law is my assistant; he must be by my side!" Chu Qingxue thought it over and skillfully handled Chu Qingfei’s question.
Ye Chenfeng was dumbfounded. Had he become a hot commodity?
Both Chu sisters wanted him to accompany them? Being caught in the middle was really uncomfortable!
"Okay then, I’ll head back alone! Sister, brother-in-law, goodbye!" Chu Qingfei unexpectedly left without a fuss.
Looking at the gate of the Royal Garden, Chu Qingfei smiled, "Sister, let you be smug for a few more days. Eventually, he’ll be mine!"
"Xue’xue, what is that Venerable Basketball Club?" Ye Chenfeng asked curiously.
Chu Qingxue gave him a glance and explained, "The Chu Family’s industries are quite diverse, and the Venerable Basketball Club is one of them. It was supported single-handedly by my second uncle. In the past two years, he has secured a lot of sponsorships and introduced excellent players from the United States. This year, the team has miraculously made it to the finals, soon to face last season’s champions!"
"Your second uncle is really impressive, almost bringing out a champion team!" Ye Chenfeng said.
Chu Qingxue nodded, "But this year, the Venerable Basketball Club has been handed over to me. I’m in charge now! You could say it’s my team that’s reaching for the championship!" Chu Qingxue revealed a proud expression.
"Xue’xue, you like basketball too?" Ye Chenfeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, actually, I really like watching basketball. I’m a fan of Kobe. What about you?"
Chu Qingxue smiled, feeling that she had finally found a common topic with Ye Chenfeng.
"Xue’xue, of course, I’m your fan." Ye Chenfeng answered without hesitation.
"My fan?" Initially, Chu Qingxue didn’t quite get it. Once she did, she immediately roared, "Ye Chenfeng, you rascal, pervert, scoundrel, jerk!"
Ye Chenfeng was startled, "Xue’xue, I was just joking. Don’t get upset. Actually, I quite like Kobe too. He has a saying that I really like!"
"What saying?" Chu Qingxue calmed down.
"Somebody has to win, so why not me?"
Chu Qingxue’s eyes lit up, "Yes, that saying is my motto. It has supported me from schooling days till now. Maybe that’s where my competitive spirit comes from!"
Although it was just a brief sentence, Ye Chenfeng understood the hardships Chu Qingxue had endured over the years, supporting such a big company as a woman.
"I admire Kobe’s relentless spirit, that kind of kingly dominance facing opponents single-handedly. I wish... oh, never mind!" Chu Qingxue was about to say something but stopped.
"Keep talking! I was really into it!" Ye Chenfeng said.
"Let’s go! I haven’t been to the Venerable Basketball Club for a while!"
...
Before long, Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue arrived at the legendary Venerable Basketball Club. From the circular architecture alone, they could tell that the Chu Family had invested quite a bit in it.
The huge basketball arena was divided into two areas. The general area was open to the public, where anyone could buy a pass to enjoy the professional basketball courts. The other area was for the club’s basketball team training and even held competitions.
"Squeak, squeak..."
As soon as they entered the basketball arena, the sharp sound of shoes rubbing against the floor continuously echoed.
"Huh? Hello, President Chu!"
The few girls at the reception desk looked uncertainly at Chu Qingxue before all standing up and greeting her politely.
"Hello, I’m just here to check on the basketball team’s training. You don’t need to make it a big deal!" Chu Qingxue smiled.
"Okay, President Chu, this way, please!"
To avoid any fuss, only one receptionist led the way.
After passing through several winding corridors, Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue finally arrived at the basketball team’s training area. The continuous sound of basketballs hitting the floor and the overwhelming smell of sweat hit them like a wave.
Chu Qingxue, being a girl, frowned at the pungent smell but quickly adapted.
In their sight, about a dozen basketball players were actively training. Some were doing shuttle runs, some were doing push-ups with two basketballs, and six were practicing three-man weave layups.
What surprised Ye Chenfeng was that among them were two tall black guys, the kind you’d usually only see on TV screens.
One of the black guys, about 6’5", looked like a good shooting guard. At that moment, he seemed to be playing one-on-one.
His opponent was a man from the Divine Land, not very tall, maybe 6’2", but still taller than Ye Chenfeng by a bit.
"Shush, shush, shush..."
The Divine Land player executed a quick dribble between the legs, leaving afterimages. He suddenly drove to the black player’s left side. The black player instinctively defended, but the Divine Land player abruptly stopped, pulled the ball back with his left hand from behind his back, caught it with his right hand, took a step back, and shot a three-pointer. These maneuvers were seamless and occurred in an instant.
"Swish!"
The ball went through the hoop with a swish.
