Chapter 455: There’s Actually a Competition (Part 2)

However, for Zhao Qingfeng, this was a matter of utmost importance, and he had to be present on the scene. Li Jianjun and Zhang Dekai were also planning to come over, but Wang Yang stopped them. With Olens preparing for sales work and being too busy, and him always having some free time, it was most appropriate for him to come and show his loyalty to Zhao Qingfeng alone.

“Who did you call?” the deputy manager asked after hanging up, smirking at Zhao Qingfeng.

“My subordinate,” Zhao Qingfeng replied with a smile, and asked back, “And you?”

The deputy manager was very pleased with himself, “Haha, you wouldn’t know him, but let me tell you, he’s got connections all over the provincial city, even with the deputy mayor.”

Zhao Qingfeng feigned shock, “Really? That impressive?”

The muscular coach sneered, “Scared now, huh? Kid, you’ll never even see a county Mayor in your life, let alone a mayor. You’ll never enjoy a meal with four dishes! Just wait till your people come, and see how our people take care of him!”

Tensions were high.

Zhao Qingfeng frowned, appearing very anxious. In reality, he was indeed anxious, not about the current situation, but because he had been planning to help Deputy County Mayor Pang get promoted. He couldn’t let down someone who had always been supportive.

He thought of his hometown and his mentor, Old Yan, whom he hadn’t visited in a long time. No matter where he went or how big his business grew, he should never forget the clouds of his hometown.

“He’s scared.”

“Yeah.”

“I can see that too. This guy can’t pretend anymore.”

“Hey, what’s that? Why is there a group of people coming this way?”

While everyone was watching Zhao Qingfeng, they noticed a group of well-equipped skiers approaching from afar at the ski resort.

The deputy manager saw them too and slapped his forehead, “Damn, almost forgot the big event. Someone, quickly organize the race and get the loudspeakers going. We can’t delay the competition!”

Coincidentally, there was a ski competition at the resort today. Not only local training teams but also visiting guests could participate, as long as they could prove their skills on the intermediate track to qualify for the high-level track challenge.

The prize was attractive: a laptop and a year of free skiing.

However, not many people had signed up due to the ‘dangerous level’ of the high-level track, which wasn’t something average players could handle. Plus, the ‘opponents’ were all trained professionals, so by now, only 7 or 8 people had registered.

“Hey, man, you claim to be a private instructor, dare to join the race?” the deputy manager asked Zhao Qingfeng after giving his orders, smirking maliciously.

“No,” Zhao Qingfeng shook his head gently.

“Why not?” the deputy manager adjusted his glasses, “Not skilled enough to avoid losing face in front of a woman, haha!”

“No,” Zhao Qingfeng spread his hands helplessly, “Your reward is too poor; I simply don’t care for it.”

This remark hit the deputy manager hard, making him feel uncomfortable, yet he retorted defiantly, “Damn it, poor rewards? Think you can even win it? How about we raise the stakes, play a game? If you make it to the top three, I’ll apologize to you.”

Raising the stakes wasn’t an issue; the question was what to bet on.

Zhao Qingfeng considered, “Alright, we’ll bet on the top three. But the stakes are too low. How about this: if I don’t make it to the top three, I’ll give you 100,000 yuan. But if I do, you’ll have to…”

“What?” the deputy manager’s eyes gleamed, thinking this was an easy 100,000 yuan.
