CHAPTER 944: CHAPTER 927: SWORD GRINDING STONE

Half an hour later, in the meeting room of Tianyuan Youth Training’s second team, Leng Xiaojun deliberately kept a stern face without saying a word. The team members had all gathered, but seeing Captain Leng’s unfriendly expression and his silence, nobody dared to be the bearer of bad luck.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was oppressive, and the young trainees didn’t dare breathe too heavily, fearing they might accidentally become the punchbag.

Leng Xiaojun: "Now, I have something to inform everyone! Tomorrow morning, Han Luofeng from Hua Club, along with Zhao Zheng and Wang Xiaomin from Yuefeng Fishing Tackle, will come to visit our club and will also have a fishing skill sparring session!"

"What? Wang Xiaomin is coming?"

"That damned bastard still dares to come to our club? He really has a death wish!"

Among the young anglers, Xiao Gang and Xiao Kai couldn’t hold back and almost exploded simultaneously.

Leng Xiaojun glanced at the two with eyes as sharp as knives: "Xiao Gang, Xiao Kai, what do you two want to do?"

Xiao Gang usually has the best relationship with Zhu Lin, who is still recuperating now. It’s certain that Zhu Lin won’t be able to participate in this club tournament, and in Xiao Gang’s eyes, it was all orchestrated by people from Yuefeng.

Subjectively, Xiao Gang harbors very strong emotions.

Xiao Gang: "No matter about others, these two from Yuefeng Fishing Tackle, there’s no way we can go easy on them for trespassing on our territory! Zhu Lin’s injury was definitely their doing from the shadows!"

"Are you Sherlock Holmes? The police haven’t even found a result, and you’ve solved the case?" Leng Xiaojun asked coldly.

"No investigation is needed, it’s one hundred percent their doing! If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have any motive!" Xiao Gang asserted confidently.

"Exactly, Xiao Gang is right! I think so too!" Xiao Kai echoed again.

"So what? Are you planning to break his arm or his leg tomorrow? Or directly hit their heads until they fart, then get yourself locked up to eat iron peanuts?"

Leng Xiaojun spoke with a frighteningly cold tone, an ominous feeling in his voice that seemed to be dripping with water.

"I..."

Leng Xiaojun: "What do you, you are good-for-nothings! Now, in the capacity of the club’s deputy general manager, I formally revoke your qualification as a starting member of Tianyuan’s second team! When you find your brains, then consider the matter of being a starter again!

Xiao Kai, do you also have an opinion?

If you think Xiao Gang is right, then be a man for once, you two can be miserable partners! Anyway, you’re both useless soldiers; the team is neither more nor less because of you!"

Xiao Kai, who was just chiming in, instantly fell silent.

What a joke, they’ve been in the youth training team for more than three years, have finally emerged from among many anglers to become starters, and because of a bad attitude like disobeying club management, the punishment is severe, and it’s hard to say if they could make a comeback,

Friendships are friendships, they don’t yield benefits, and if you act impulsively and give up the opportunities you have in hand, you’d be a complete fool.

Seeing Xiao Kai shrink back without daring to speak, Leng Xiaojun nodded approvingly: "Okay, you’re smarter than him, then this time I’ll let you off, with a warning penalty!

As for tomorrow’s sparring, I’ll continue discussing it!

No matter who it is, during their visit, no one is allowed to disgrace the club with any form of physical violence!

Feeling angry? That’s fine; show me your usual training skills. Aren’t they here to challenge us? Use their catch results to properly teach them a lesson for me!

The person with the poorest performance in tomorrow’s fish-off will have their basic salary downgraded by one level for the next year. If there are any prior in-team warnings, they will be directly dismissed!"

Upon hearing Leng Xiaojun’s arrangements, the meeting room fell silent again, the large room was so quiet a pin drop could be heard.

Seeing that Leng Xiaojun had completely mastered the rhythm, Hu Changsheng chuckled and said: "Old Leng, don’t keep a stern face, it’s understandable for the members to have emotions, after all, Zhu Lin is still lying in the hospital!

But one point is right, since we are professional anglers, then let’s compare who’s better through our skills!

In my opinion, we can waive the penalty for the person at the bottom, but there can be a reward for the best performer! Take a thousand yuan from the team’s public fund; whoever wins the most brilliantly gets the money! Are you confident?"

"Yes..."

"Louder, I can’t hear you!"

"YES!!!"

"That’s more like it! Alright, meeting is dismissed, go prepare! Don’t treat this matter as an ordinary fish-off friendship, give it 120% attention and treat it as the highest level fight!"

The meeting ended, and Xiao Gang followed his companions out of the meeting room with his head down, feeling very discouraged.

At Tianyuan, the authority of Team One Leader Leng Xiaojun is decisive, and it’s not because of some nepotism, but because of genuine ability. Leng Xiaojun’s prestige among the younger generation of anglers is conservatively in the top five nationally, and if you consider his years of leading the team, his experience is even richer than that of Han Luofeng.

When everyone left, only Leng Xiaojun and Hu Changsheng remained in the room.

Hu Changsheng casually took out a cigarette and tossed one to Leng Xiaojun, lighting one for himself, then asked, "I called a few friends just now to inquire, and it seems like Han Luofeng and the other two have significantly improved their skills. Recently their challenge scores have been much better than at the beginning! Are you going to play tomorrow?"

Leng Xiaojun: "Play? Do you think I should play?"

"I can’t decide! Since you’re here, it’s fine if you win, but if you lose, it’ll be embarrassing! And it’s the embarrassment of the entire team!

Also, it’s right to suppress the reckless ones in the team, but don’t press too hard, or else it will cause problems! It’s definitely not Xiao Gang snitching; the kid is straightforward and righteous, not good at this kind of thing!"

Leng Xiaojun: "Pressing him is to make him grow faster! I’ve been observing quietly for a few days, and he’s indeed a talent worth cultivating, unlike others, who are a bit mediocre in comparison.

Having no loyalty, no matter how good the skill is, what’s the point in nurturing it! Let him cool off for a while! As for tomorrow’s sparring, I will definitely make an appearance, whether I’ll make a move, I’ll decide based on the situation!"

"What do you think is their purpose for forming a group and challenging everywhere? To gain fame? Zhao Zheng and Wang Xiaomin are indeed little-known, but given Han Luofeng’s fame, there seems to be no need!"

Leng Xiaojun shook his head: "Fame? You’re oversimplifying it!

They’re sharpening the sword! Using our clubs as their sword grinding stone! The basic skills of these three people are actually in place; what they lack are experience and mentality, mainly mentality!

Back in the day, the master also made me do this, but it was done quietly among a few familiar teams! It’s straightforward logic: seeing more of the world and suffering more blows, and naturally, the mindset will grow!

Once the sword is sharpened sharp, a sword heart is forged! By then, the execution of practical skills can elevate to another small notch!"

"That’s a layer I hadn’t thought of! To train these few people, Yue Feng and the old Hua man have really made a big move!"
