Chapter 1308 - The Wedding (3)

The people in the room fell silent when they heard these words from The Deputy Godfather.

The Godfather raised a trembling finger at his brother, so angry that he couldn’t speak.

This wasn’t something that Su Penghao could have expected. He looked at The Deputy Godfather, his expression full of disappointment, but more than that, he could not come to terms with it.

Ancestor White Bones stepped forward and spoke first, “This is a serious matter, although you have realized your mistake. But if we just let it go like that, then what about the prestige of our team club?”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Efforts must be rewarded, and errors should be punished. This was a principle that every organization should observe.

If they didn’t deal with The Deputy Godfather appropriately this time, then the team club would face management issues on the longer term.

Finally, everyone’s gaze shifted simultaneously to Shen Liangchuan.

The man was silent for a moment, then he spoke unhurriedly, “We’ll impose a penalty worth three months of salary. The Deputy Godfather, do you object?”

The Deputy Godfather’s eyes lit up as he said immediately, “Not at all! Not at all!”

“Uh-huh. We’ve won the competition, the prize money will be distributed later.”

Compared to the prize money, what was three months of salary?

It was only a symbolic punishment.

Having said this, Shen Liangchuan lowered his voice and continued, “Players switching team clubs in the country is a common thing. I don’t ask that you stay with CQ Team forever, but I do have one request, that as long as you have a contract with us, you must not do anything that is unfair to CQ. Can you all do that?”

“Yes!”

Shen Liangchuan nodded as he looked at his team of players replying in unison.

Then he lowered his gaze and continued unhurriedly, “Although we’ve clinched the national champion award, this is not our only target. We want to work towards the world champion award, so everyone has to train hard.”

“Yes!”

After this matter had been dealt with, Qiao Lian followed Shen Liangchuan and they walked back to their room.

Her eyes were intently fixed on him, even after they had returned to the room.

She remembered that when King had spoken, no one except Shen Liangchuan had understood what he was saying. That was the reason why he had retorted in language H. It was so that King would not have any reason to speak at all.

Because if word about The Deputy Godfather’s matter got out and started spreading among outsiders, it would indeed look bad for them.

That had been Shen Liangchuan’s way of protecting his teammate.

Resting her chin on her knuckle, she stared at the man with a curious expression and asked, “Shen Liangchuan, when King told you about what happened with The Deputy Godfather, what was your reply to him?”

Shen Liangchuan froze momentarily upon hearing this question. Then he tilted his head and said, “I don’t remember.”

Qiao Lian exclaimed, “... How could you not remember?”

“Hurry up and tell me. I really want to know what you told him that caused him to jump in fright.”

Shen Liangchuan frowned and said, “I said shut up, or something along the lines.”

Qiao Lian muttered, “Oh.” Her eyes were still trained intently on him. After a while, she added, “Shen Liangchuan.”

“Uh-huh?”

“Why do you trust The Deputy Godfather so much?”

If he didn’t trust the guy, he wouldn’t have given him a chance to play in the next segment.

If The Deputy Godfather had continued to sabotage them in the next two segments they would have lost for sure.

Shen Liangchuan said in a gentle tone as she was contemplating this, “Because he is our teammate.”

With her eyes fixed steadily on the man, she was shaken to the core by his answer.

She looked at him in astonishment and, after a moment of silence, gave a firm nod.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
