Chapter 129 The Sudden Fire
Chapter 129 The Sudden Fire
A clear blue sky.
A plane took off from Shanghai and flew towards Wuhan.
The female team members from Jiangda University were all overjoyed, taking turns holding the trophy and looking at it again and again.
Sitting in the front row, Ma Dongmei handed the trophy to someone else, then turned around and asked, "Coach, since we won the national championship today, does that mean we're qualified to participate in the international competition?"
Xia Bingyu smiled and nodded, "Yes, next July, we can participate in the World University Games. You all need to train hard and try to win another world championship!"
"Coach, don't worry, we'll definitely try our best!"
"That's right, we're going to win the world championship!"
The group of people immediately became excited.
However, Ma Dongmei suddenly spoke up: "Brother Li, why don't you come and be our team doctor? Then we can go and win the championship together!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Regardless of Li Yi's other skills, his ability to quickly restore people's strength is almost unbeatable.
If he could become the team doctor, winning the world championship might actually be a possibility!
Then, everyone started to speak.
"Yes, yes, Brother Li, you can be our team doctor."
"Brother Li, we really need you!"
Xia Bingyu also looked at Li Yi with anticipation.
Li Yi is not only a highly skilled doctor, but also a person of much better character than Pei Zheyan. If he is willing to serve as the team doctor for Jiang University, then I will have no more worries.
Unfortunately, Li Yi smiled and shook his head, "Going to Jiangda as a team doctor is out of the question. I'm quite satisfied with my current job. But don't worry, if needed, I'll still be with you during the competition."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Xia Bingyu's eyes.
Time flies by.
By the time the plane landed, it was already getting dark.
Jiangda University had already received the news and specially arranged a bus at the airport to welcome the returning champions.
"Xiao Li, why don't you come with us first, and I'll take you home later?"
"Sister Xia, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Besides, Sister Wang messaged me today asking when I'm going back. I can just take a taxi myself."
Seeing Li Yi rushing back as soon as he got off the plane, Xia Bingyu felt a pang of jealousy. "Tch! He's only been gone two days, and he's already so reluctant to leave Taozi?"
"Hehe, I'm the only TCM technician in the shop. I've been away for the past two days, so business has definitely been affected. That's why Sister Wang asked me about it."
What a load of bullshit business!
They're clearly a pair of adulterers!
Watching Li Yi's retreating figure, Xia Bingyu pursed her lips and couldn't help but mutter to herself, wondering what she was lacking compared to Wang Tao.
Li Yi would rather work as a technician in a beauty salon than become a team doctor at Jiangda University.
......
"Driver, go to Yan Zhi You Li Beauty Salon on Jiangbei Road."
After leaving the airport, Li Yi hailed a taxi and headed straight back to the beauty salon.
It's rush hour right now, and the roads are a bit congested.
The car drove on and off, taking more than forty minutes to finally come down from the overpass.
It was more than an hour later when we arrived at the beauty salon.
As soon as Li Yi entered the store, Wu Xiaomei's voice rang out.
"Hey? Brother Li, you're back."
"Is Sister Wang in the shop?"
"Yes, yes, Sister Tao came down and checked several times. She thought you weren't coming back tonight."
Just as Wu Xiaomei finished speaking, a voice rang out from behind her.
"Pah! Who came down to check several times? I was just asking casually."
Li Yi looked up at the sound and saw Wang Tao, her pretty face flushed, coming down from upstairs.
Seeing Li Yi's gaze fall on her, Wang Tao immediately looked like a thief caught red-handed. "What are you looking at? You've been gone for two days, and the shop's business has been disrupted, which is why I was in a hurry to bring you back."
Li Yi thought Wang Tao genuinely cared about the shop's business. "Sister Wang, I've really been delayed these past two days. How about I go and prepare for the performance now?"
"Why are you calling? You just got off the plane, haven't you eaten yet?"
"No."
"I haven't eaten either, let's go get some food together."
Having dinner with the boss is simply an employee's duty.
So Li Yi didn't think much about it and readily agreed.
The two didn't go far, but found a decent restaurant nearby.
Wang Tao casually ordered a few dishes, then asked, "I heard from Lao Xia that you won the championship today. How was it? Did everything go smoothly this time?"
"What do you mean 'smoothly'? Sister Wang, you have no idea, we almost got swept 3-0 today!"
"Huh? What happened? Tell me quickly."
"Xia Jie's team originally had a team doctor..."
So Li Yi recounted the entire story of his trip to Shanghai.
After hearing this, Wang Tao was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "That Pei fellow is a real scoundrel! He actually sided with the opponent before the competition and even tried to force Old Xia to marry him!"
Li Yi nodded, "Pei Zheyan's character is indeed not very good."
He had previously thought that Pei Zheyan had misunderstood because of him, but for the other party to directly betray Jiang University was going too far.
Fortunately, Ma Dongmei and her team lived up to expectations and ultimately won the championship.
Moreover, Pei Zheyan's fate was no better.
"So, Old Xia's team doesn't have a team doctor anymore?"
"Well, Sister Xia and the others wanted me to be the team doctor at Jiang University, but I still think it's better for me to be a technician at the beauty salon. At most, I'll help them out in some crucial matches later."
"At least you have some conscience!"
Upon hearing Li Yi's answer, Wang Tao immediately beamed with joy and even personally served him a dish, saying, "Here, the chopped chili fish head at this restaurant is quite delicious, you should try it."
The two ate and chatted for more than an hour.
It was already past 10 p.m. when we left the restaurant.
Wang Tao was about to get into the car when she glanced at the night sky in the distance and suddenly said, "Hey? Xiao Li, why does it look so red in the west?"
Li Yi looked up and saw flames shooting into the sky in the distance, illuminating the entire night sky. "It looks like there's a fire over there."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao clicked her tongue and said, "Such a big fire, I wonder how badly it's burned."
Just then, two girls passed by. One of them was holding a cell phone and said to her companion, "Xiuxiu, look! A cosmetics factory in Xicheng District is on fire."
"Huh? Water Rhythm, I remember we bought this brand before..."
Wait! The Rhythm of Water?
Upon hearing the name, Wang Tao and Li Yi were momentarily stunned, then quickly exchanged a glance.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Tao took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Beep beep—"
Hearing the dial tone repeatedly on her phone, Wang Tao's voice began to tremble, "I can't get through to Shao Bai's phone..."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi's expression changed slightly. "It's alright. It's already this late. Maybe Sister Bai is already home."
"No! Shao Bai has been busy with production expansion lately, so she's been living near the factory!"
