Su Xiaocai gave Xing Miao a look.
Xing Miao nudged Ji Heng under the table.
Ji Heng understood and held Hu Ping to continue speaking.
Their graduation scores are still in the hands of this teacher unless they can win the competition championship. Otherwise, this coach will certainly have many excuses to hold them back.
Su Xiaocai took over Hu Pingâs words and said very firmly, "In front of so many people, I make a public statement that if Xue Huiyi is in a team, I wonât lift even a finger to help. I know very well what kind of person she is, not worth helping at all, morally corrupt, and of bad character. Sheâd better not encounter my team in the competition, or sheâll definitely be eliminated in the worst possible way."
There was a deathly silence; this was no longer just a simple vendetta.
This was a life-or-death enmity, one that wouldnât end without one side falling.
To make such a serious statement from a currently popular "public figure," what on earth did Xue Huiyi do that was so utterly heartless?
Su Xiaocaiâs authority was increasingly growing. As a coach, she also protected her own; she knew the experience Hu Ping had of being forced out of the school team by this coach.
She knew the temperament of the students she taught, though they might seem out of tune, they were good kids.
So she had no qualms about confronting the school team coach, and with Xue Huiyi, she wouldnât hold back even more.
Su Xiaocai turned her head, her serious face suddenly blooming into a smile, and said to Mei Lan, "In the future, donât call me to any event involving Xue Huiyi. I find it annoying."
Mei Lan swallowed, thinking how boldly Su Xiaocai spoke.
The school coach was so angry he turned red like a tomato, "Youâre so vicious, being a big boss, canât you be a little more magnanimous? What evil can a little girl like Xue Huiyi do?"
"Didnât you just say I was petty? Whatever evil she might have done, itâs not for you as a coach to judge, but for the law."
"Boo hoo..." Xue Huiyi covered her face and cried as she logged off on the spot, her innocent look drew sympathy from some students.
"You donât need to use such harsh words. Isnât this akin to bullying?" someone muttered.
Su Xiaocai said, "There is indeed a difference. After all, anyone daring to oppose Xue Huiyi either ends up with mental issues, drops out, or worse yet, is gone. Even people around her arenât spared. Iâm quite capable, having remained unharmed and fought back. Do you have a problem with that?"
Even those murmurs, she could hear? The person muttering fell silent.
No one disputed Su Xiaocaiâs decision.
For team practice matters, Su Xiaocai handed them over to Feng Wansha. Feng Wansha would take care of the teamâs logistics, and once the team decided on the follow-up matters, handing them over to her never resulted in mistakes.
After confronting them, she left the cabin to find food, feeling much more refreshed.
She went to the canteen to see if there were any snacks. Chef Li was amidst discussing with others about the companyâs plan to turn a game into a movie.
Su Xiaocai approached, "Already starting filming? Did they mention which stars will be involved?"
"Indeed, indeed... Oh, boss, you didnât know?"
"I didnât know, no."
"Mr. Yu is here, you should ask him." Yu Haoming, now even lazier about wearing suits, dressed in shorts, shirts, and sneakers when not meeting clients, calling it company culture.
The culture in the Extraordinary Island office was flexible working hours and free dress code. Even if you wore pajamas, no one would mind, as long as it wasnât revealing.
So in the Extraordinary Island office, often only heads were decent to look at.
Normally, everyone chose comfort in their attire, though they kept a suitable outfit in the closet for important guests.
"I heard thereâs a movie being shot, planning to invest?" Since the plan wasnât ready, Yu Haoming hadnât presented it to her, so Su Xiaocai asked right there.
"Yes." Yu Haoming picked up several rice cakes from the snack counter, stuffing them into his mouth; he was starving, "Boss, do you have any ideas?"
"No idea, I plan to play a major investor role and insert a couple of people into the crew."
"Pfft." The rice cake got stuck in his throat, and Yu Haoming thumped his chest.
Chef Li handed over some water.
After drinking, Yu Haoming swallowed the rice cake and looked complicated. Could it be that Su Xiaocai, despite being so young, already learned how to keep good-looking guys?
He asked, "Do you know any celebrities? Our plan requires the movie to be of quality, the stars canât be too underwhelming."
Su Xiaocai smiled brightly, "Donât worry, they are women, the ones I met at Wu Zhaoxiangâs banquet last time." Those women took risks to tell her some things, although it was partly due to their aspirations, but people, indeed, need to use resources wisely to climb upwards.
Within her capability, she wasnât hesitant about giving them a chance.
They werenât bad-looking, though she didnât know about their acting skills, "Just give them cameo roles."
Yu Haoming suddenly understood; Su Xiaocai had actually remembered such two marginal figures, so he immediately checked some information. The two minor stars, Luo Min and Feiâer, could indeed impress even bare-faced.
