Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: You Two…
When An Bai proposed to sponsor the team, all the team members were stunned.
Although their team could earn enough to support themselves now, they were still far from making substantial money.
With sufficient funds, their training location could improve, they could recruit more talented members, and they could transition from part-time to full-time, enabling them to compete professionally everywhere.
Zhao Feng thought he was dreaming and couldn’t help pinching himself, then asked, “God, I mean, President An, how much do you plan to invest? Am I drunk?”
Even though he pinched himself, Zhao Feng still felt he must have misheard.
An Bai smiled faintly and explained his idea in detail, although he didn’t mention a specific amount, Zhao Feng felt that the path before them was a radiant and promising avenue.
“Let me formally introduce myself, I’m An Bai.”
An Bai handed out his business cards, black with gold embossing, AM Group.
“This…” Zhao Feng almost dropped the business card as he looked at AM Group, quickly tightened his grip, besides the name AM Group and An Bai, there was just a row of phone numbers, and no other unnecessary words, not even a position.
However, Zhao Feng knew of this group, had read financial papers and watched AM’s interviews, was very clear about the history of AM Group, and even though it’s only been six years since its founding, the group’s assets have exceeded billions. As for the mysterious President An Bai, everyone sees the person but rarely hears his name.
Previously, An Bai introduced himself only with his surname.
Meng Shuqing had called him Xiao Bai, but Zhao Feng hadn’t connected the An surname with the illustrious AM Group.
But now, holding the business card, even if Zhao Feng were foolish, he’d understand clearly that the charming and handsome person before him was that elusive president.
“President An, isn’t your headquarters in Jing City?” Zhao Feng studied closely, admiring how President An built his empire from scratch, thus paying extra attention.
“It has moved to Beiyang now.”
An Bai spoke casually, as if moving a headquarters was child’s play.
Zhao Feng quietly glanced at Meng Shuqing beside him, smiled, and refrained from saying more; having such a billionaire willing to invest in their team was extremely fortunate.
Everyone was extremely happy on this day, drinking a lot. They won the match; their team was invested in. All their wishes were fulfilled, as if he saw himself standing on the stage of international competitions; today they were very excited and enthusiastic.
The evening breeze blew, the cold wind was harsh.
An Bai wished he could wrap Meng Shuqing like a dumpling, shielding her from the cold wind.
“Xiao Bai, I want to feel the breeze.”
Meng Shuqing drank some fruit wine, feeling slightly flushed although not drunk.
“The wind is cold; you might catch a cold.”
An Bai didn’t agree but still accompanied Meng Shuqing on the street, where few people were due to the cold.
The driver followed behind them, thinking it was strange to stroll on the street in such cold weather.
However, for President An’s decisions, he, a mere driver, could only ridicule in his heart, not daring to reveal any of his thoughts.
“It’s really a happy day.”
Meng Shuqing’s hand was held by An Bai’s, and with the fruit wine in her, she felt warm. The cold air blowing in felt very refreshing; she said, “Thank you.”
“You should thank yourself.” An Bai held her hand tightly, wondering if this counted as progress?
Chenchen had become accustomed to them holding hands.
“Tomorrow, we’ll visit Aunt Xu and then head to Jing City, what about you?”
Meng Shuqing glanced at him; he was tall and imposing yet not burly or lanky; his well-proportioned figure looked handsome in a suit.
“Of course, I’ll go back; would you leave me alone in Beiyang for the New Year?” An Bai replied promptly, suddenly stopping, his dark eyes gazing at her, his pitiable expression akin to a kitten afraid of being abandoned.
“Ha!”
Meng Shuqing looked at his expression and couldn’t help but laugh; her smile was bright and warm, as if the cold wind couldn’t cool his fiery heart.
“Isn’t Uncle An and Aunt Qing returning?” Meng Shuqing asked, knowing that if he were really alone, he definitely had to follow her to Jing City; he couldn’t truly be left alone in Beiyang for the New Year, right?
Spending New Year alone?
The thought alone was too lonely.
Since she could remember, New Year at her place was always lively.
In particular, her family was boisterous with grandparents, two sets of grandparents’ families, two uncles’ families, and Tang Mingli’s uncle’s family. No matter when, it was always bustling.
“They’re in F Country, enjoying their time together, hardly thinking of me.”
An Bai pursed his lips; while his mother remembered him, his father surely didn’t—his father had always thought he occupied his mother’s attention, even to the point of being jealous of his own son, leaving An Bai speechless.
However, seeing how Uncle Meng was the same, An Bai felt reassured, thinking that if he and Chenchen had children, he possibly might be just like his father?
He still wished to enjoy their time together though and wasn’t eager to have kids too soon.
“Chenchen.”
Chu Huaijin was delighted to see Meng Shuqing, but a few steps later, his joy turned to disappointment.
Due to school matters, he had delayed returning for several days, having just had something to eat outside before heading back to the apartment, unexpectedly encountering Meng Shuqing and An Bai on the way.
His gaze landed on the hands joined between Meng Shuqing and An Bai; he felt as if he were suffocating.
“An Bai, are you two…?” Chu Huaijin’s voice trembled; after chasing to Beiyang, was it still all for nothing?
Despite staying by Meng Shuqing’s side, he still couldn’t win over An Bai, newly returned to the country?
“We just finished dinner and were heading home.” An Bai held Meng Shuqing’s hand tightly, refusing to let go; standing beside Meng Shuqing as if asserting his ownership.
“Are you cold?”
An Bai turned, concerned, adjusting Meng Shuqing’s scarf around her neck.
“I’m not cold.”
Meng Shuqing caught a glimpse of Chu Huaijin’s somber expression from the corner of her eye and said, “Brother Jin, we’re going home tomorrow.”
“You two…”
Chu Huaijin raised his head in shock, looking at Meng Shuqing with a mix of emotions; An Bai had been back only a few months, and they had already decided to be together?
“Yes, tomorrow we’ll go see Uncle Meng and Aunt Tang. I haven’t seen them for a long time; what gift do you think I should buy?” An Bai was glad to perpetuate the misunderstanding, although it wasn’t exactly a misunderstanding—they were indeed already a couple.
