Part 2
For the first time, he didn’t rush over, but stared blankly as the two passed by him.
He suddenly realized that precious things in life were constantly slipping away from his life’s trajectory, and he tried to grab them, but couldn’t!
On the other side, Ye Peicheng, as the initiator, played a game with Director Su first. Director Su, being older, had less stamina, but his technique was good, and with everyone’s encouragement, the atmosphere was lively. Among the spectators, Kevin and Si Luoqing were the most enthusiastic, acting as if the player was their own father.
“I can’t do it anymore, I felt refreshed at first, but I can’t move later, sigh, I’m getting old…” Director Su said, walking off the court.
Zhou Linghang was in charge of livening up the atmosphere: “Director Su, a man can’t say he’s unable to do it!”
Everyone laughed.
Ye Peicheng also wiped his sweat and naturally handed the racket to Kevin: “You continue.”
Kevin didn’t expect to get the racket for the second game, and his heart was filled with joy.
On the other side, Shen Zhiqian picked up the racket. He was going to get revenge for Ning Qingqing, to make her look back at him.
However, Gu Youchen beat him to it, standing on the court with a racket.
Beside Gu Youchen, Ning Qingqing smiled at him: “Go for it!”
Shen Zhiqian’s hand holding the racket stopped, a indescribable feeling surging in his heart.
The girl who used to only cheer for him on the tennis court was now smiling at another man, encouraging him, her eyes only on him. And that man was his arch-rival!
Shen Zhiqian stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at the warm scene.
Gu Youchen smiled back at Ning Qingqing, then said to Kevin: “Nice to meet you.”
Kevin naturally knew Gu Youchen. In terms of background, the Gu family in Di City had deep roots, one of the top families even among the top-tier families. Kevin’s heart pounded wildly, he fawned, “It’s an honor to play tennis with Mr. Gu, please guide me!”
Though he didn’t understand why Gu Youchen and Ning Qingqing looked somewhat familiar, he couldn’t care less right now. His goal was to get close to Gu Youchen.
The ball was with Kevin, so he served first. He had practiced these basic movements, so the serve was well-placed, right in the middle, Gu Youchen didn’t even need to run to catch it. Both being experienced in the business world, a single action revealed the obvious intention of flattery.
Kevin waited for Gu Youchen to hit the ball back.
However, as Gu Youchen swung his racket, he found that the angle wasn’t quite right, the ball flew a bit off-center. How could he let Mr. Gu lose face and go out of bounds? So Kevin quickly ran over and caught the ball in a very dangerous manner. However, he could only catch it, it was difficult to hit it perfectly to the center-right to feed the ball to Gu Youchen. Fortunately, Gu Youchen took a small step to catch it, but this time it went off-center again, the previous one brushed the left side of the court, and this one brushed the right side.
Kevin had just stabilized himself, and quickly rushed to the right again.
The effects of his busy work as a manager showed, he was quite fast, and caught the ball again this time.
However, Kevin later discovered that Gu Youchen really had no playing technique, his skills were probably that of a beginner, hitting the ball left, right, and center, all brushing the boundary line.
So everyone saw Kevin running wildly on the court, sweat all over his forehead, and his back soaked with sweat.
Finally, when he was breathless and almost couldn’t take it anymore, Gu Youchen seemed to finally realize his problem, and asked, “Kevin, shouldn’t I hit towards you?”
Kevin was like a prisoner hearing the sound of the iron gate opening, he moved with emotion and nodded, “Yes, Mr. Gu, you just hit towards me.”
Gu Youchen nodded, his lips curling slightly: “Okay.”
It was Kevin’s turn to serve, this time he still hit the ball to Gu Youchen’s preferred position, Kevin, catching his breath, was waiting for the ball, thinking that Gu Youchen’s skill was poor, and might go off-center again if he tried to hit the middle, so he was prepared to run again.
However, the next second, a ball flew towards him, the speed and force far surpassing the previous balls, Kevin was startled, instinctively swinging his racket.
However, it was too late.
He only felt a pain in his left shoulder, and he took several steps back before realizing what happened.
Kevin picked up the ball, and found something wrong with his left shoulder.
Gu Youchen frowned slightly: “Sorry.”
Kevin smiled and tried to move his left arm, “It’s okay, that’s what happens when playing tennis, I didn’t catch it.”
As he said this, he served another ball to Gu Youchen.
This time, Gu Youchen’s ball speed was also very fast, Kevin quickly dodged, but unexpectedly, the ball had a spin, its trajectory drew an arc, and directly hit him!
“Bang!”
A dull sound hit his abdomen.
When Kevin picked up the ball, he felt something was wrong.
Gu Youchen’s speed was clearly not something a novice could achieve, if the first time could be explained as an accident, but this spinning ball?
But after careful thought, he hadn’t offended Gu Youchen at all, what was his intention?
It was Gu Youchen’s turn to serve, Kevin was wary, but found that Gu Youchen didn’t aim at him.
So was it just his illusion?
But as soon as he had this thought, he slapped himself in the face.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Balls hit Kevin one after another. In Gu Youchen’s service game, he didn’t give his opponent a chance to react, his movements were quick and fierce, but his eyes remained calm and serious.
This time, not only Kevin, but also many people in the audience realized—
Gu Youchen was doing it on purpose.
He was using the tennis game to directly attack Kevin!
Gu Youchen had just returned from abroad this year, previously managing the Gu Corporation’s overseas market. The people present had heard of Gu Youchen after his return and had inquired about his actions.
His reputation in the international market was excellent, it was normal to be resourceful in business, but he was known for being calm and approachable.
No one had ever described Gu Youchen as “arrogant.”
But now, he was practically writing “I’m beating you up” for Kevin to see.
Director Su curiously asked Ye Peicheng beside him, “Does Mr. Gu have a grudge against Kevin?”
Ye Peicheng looked at the court, a cold smile at the corner of his lips: “Some people are used to looking down on others, and now they’ve met their match.”
With this explanation, Director Su understood—
Kevin was the kind of person who looked down on others, the kind he despised the most.
Originally, he could give or not give Si Luoqing the role of the third female lead in his film, after all, the role was small and not easy to make mistakes.
But now it seems that even if the Si family and the Shen family had some connection, Shen Zhiqian hadn’t given Si Luoqing a single glance, and Kevin had offended the Gu family, these two people had been added to Director Su’s blacklist.
On the court, Kevin kept dodging, but he had already run around the whole court and consumed a lot of energy, and now he was being hit all over, completely like a headless fly.
So he basically became Gu Youchen’s live target.
No one cared anymore about who should serve, anyway, as long as Gu Youchen didn’t call a stop, the ball boy kept handing the tennis ball to him.
He acted without any hesitation, his force was fierce, but his eyes were calm and serious.
Si Luoqing pleaded for help in the audience, but no one paid attention to her.
She then turned to Shen Zhiqian, “Zhiqian, haven’t you always been at odds with Gu Youchen? He’s going crazy here, bullying Kevin, you—”
However, before she finished speaking, she saw Shen Zhiqian suddenly look over, his eyes filled with rage.
This was the first time he had looked at Si Luoqing with such eyes, and his voice was icy, “Get lost!”
Si Luoqing never expected Shen Zhiqian to look at her with such hatred, tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.
However, no one cared about her emotions.
On the court, Kevin wanted to beg for mercy, but Gu Youchen didn’t give him the chance.
He experienced the feeling of being surrounded for the first time.
Looking at the people around him, except for Si Luoqing secretly wiping her tears, everyone was laughing at him.
The people he had tried to please were now watching the farce from above, and he had become a clown, performing for free for everyone!
He turned his head and met Ning Qingqing’s excited eyes.
A surge of anger welled up in Kevin’s eyes—
Even Ning Qingqing was laughing at him!
However, at this moment, with a bang, a dull sound landed on his forehead, making his eyes spin, and he didn’t notice a ball on the ground, and stepped on it.
Just as Kevin was tripped by a ball and fell to the ground, Gu Youchen turned to Ning Qingqing beside him, “It’s a bit tiring playing alone, Qingqing, come and play doubles?”
Ning Qingqing thought of what Gu Youchen had said, that she would also have a chance to get revenge, so she quickly took the racket.
She missed the first ball, and Gu Youchen made up for it.
She hit the second ball at Kevin’s knee, and he almost knelt down in front of her.
The third ball hit Kevin’s lower back, exactly where he had pushed and bumped into her!
Ning Qingqing felt the anger that had been pent up in her heart finally released!
