Chapter 408 - Tiger’s Doomsday
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
After lunch, Tiger returned to the boxing club.
There were some new members. The coach of the club led the new students to Tiger.
“You all should get to know Tiger. He’s a junior this year, but he’s the best of the club. He already has a professional certificate.”
Hearing that, the students immediately all had reverent expressions.
“Hi, Tiger.”
“Tiger, have you participated in professional competitions before?”
“Tiger, do you have time to teach us?”
“Okay, okay, stop disturbing Tiger. You haven’t even learned the basics yet, so stop clinging to Tiger. If you want to train with him, you might get creamed with one punch. Start with the basics.”
“Dion, wait,” Tiger called to the coach. “I have a job and need some guys.”
“I thought you stopped taking jobs?”
“It’s not beating people up. I don’t do that anymore. If Mr. Chen finds out, I’ll probably be in the hospital again.”
“It’s not beating people up?”
“Yeah, it’s to help Mr. Jared.” Tiger explained everything.
“I see… You kids, who wants to help Tiger?”
“I can do it.”
“Me too.”
“I’m free in the afternoon.”
The newbies were really happy to help Tiger. They’d just entered college and were filled with excitement about college life. How could they miss this drama?
“Okay, then I’ll take you guys.”
…
“Miss, I want that, that, that…and that.”
The cafeteria lady looked at Chen Zhao like he was a monster. “Sir, this is your third time getting food.”
“It’s not like I don’t pay.” Chen Zhao rarely got to eat cafeteria food. It wasn’t very good, but it was at least cheaper and had pretty big servings. He would naturally eat his fill.
“Fine, but you should know our rules. You’ll get fined if you have leftovers.”
“Of course. I understand.”
Chen Zhao carried away the tray filled with food. As soon as he sat down, Eveleigh sat across from him.
“Hi, Chen.”
“Hi, Eveleigh. What’s up?”
“Chen, I feel like I haven’t been improving recently. My time is always around eight minutes. Do you have any suggestions?”
“No.”
“How can you be so irresponsible?”
“What am I responsible for?”
“I’m gonna scream harassment,” Eveleigh said, pouting while glaring at Chen Zhao.
“Then you better find a place with no cameras. There’s a camera here.”
“You have no sense of humor.”
“But speaking of, do you really plan on becoming a professional athlete.”
“Don’t you know? I was chosen as an Olympic athlete. I’ll debut at the world championships this year.”
“Oh.”
“That’s how you’ll reply to me?” Eveleigh stared at Chen Zhao.
“What do you want?”
“Come back and be my coach. My family hired someone who calls himself the champion coach. Apparently, he was Phelps’ coach before, but after I followed his methods, I was ten seconds slower. After I changed back to the method you taught me, I went back to my original speed.”
Eveleigh understood fully now that Chen Zhao was the best coach. The other coaches couldn’t even compare to him. Even though Chen Zhao was always distracted while he trained, but the effects on Eveleigh were obvious.
In ten days, her fitness and speed had all improved substantially. This was why she kept going to Chen Zhao, hoping he could change his mind.
“I have to train Tiger. I don’t have time to train you.”
“Didn’t you say that you hope I can break the men’s world record?”
“You really want to break the men’s world record?”
“I know it’s really hard, but I really want to try. I want to be the first female athlete to break a men’s world record.”
“But you can’t go compete against men, right?”
“I don’t have to. I’ll break the record in my own meet. As long as I do it fair and square, what can people say about me?”
“I need to think about it,” Chen Zhao said.
“When can you give me an answer?”
“When are the world championships?”
“It starts this August.”
“There’s still half a year. Take it slowly, don’t worry.”
“It’s less than half a year,” Eveleigh corrected.
“Wait for Tiger’s progress. I can’t be a boxing and swimming coach at the same time.”
“How long does he need?”
“I don’t know. Depends.”
“Give me an exact time. This way, I can fire the coach at a more accurate time.”
Hearing Eveleigh’s words, Chen Zhao felt really bad. “I’ll go look at your training results when I have time. How about that?”
“Do you have time today?”
“No, I have a public lecture today.”
“You have a public lecture? Which room?”
“Lecture Hall #3,” Chen Zhao said. Then he suddenly reached over and squeezed Eveleigh’s arm.
“Hey…what are you doing?” She was both embarrassed and annoyed.
“Your body fat ratio increased. Go back and eat vegetarian for two days.”
Eveleigh glared at Chen Zhao. She knew that this *sshole was flippant, but he did have some skills. He’d just squeezed her arm and discovered that her body fat had increased.
She’d done a checkup yesterday. Her fat content was two percent higher than during the competition.
She indeed hadn’t paid much attention to her diet. She’d have to start that again.
However, her face darkened when she saw the food on Chen Zhao’s plate. “Why don’t you pay attention to your diet? Aren’t you afraid of getting fat by bingeing like this?”
“Please don’t think like that before I get fat. I have a high metabolism and I don’t exercise any less than you.”
Chen Zhao shoveled the food into his mouth. After cleaning up, he said, “I have to go prepare the material for this afternoon’s lecture now.”
It took him more than an hour to prepare the material. After getting ready, he checked the time. He had to go to the lecture hall now.
When he arrived, he saw that there were quite a lot of students. The commotion quieted down instantly when he walked in.
Chen Zhao scanned the room. He seemed to see some familiar guys from the boxing club. Maybe they’d come to support him after hearing that he was lecturing.
But Tiger, sitting in the back, paled the instant he saw Chen Zhao. There was only one thought in his mind: Sh*t! I’m dead…
