Chapter 595: Chapter 4 Absolute Blast

"Coach, your team member doesn’t seem very obedient, does he?" An Xiuru, a strong woman from the business world, had seen a lot in life. She casually said a sentence that unsettled Tu Jinxin.

"Get back to training." The middle-aged, bald coach was immediately annoyed. His face turned an iron blue as he roared at his athletes. To be spoken to like this by a beauty was a total loss of face.

The athletes sighed in exasperation. They glanced at Tu Jinxin and walked away silently. They didn’t have the courage to upset the coach.

"What are you dawdling for? Go, swim ten thousand meters for me." The bald coach dismissed them to their training and then turned to Tu Jinxin. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

The coach had a soft tone. He couldn’t help it, he needed to consider Tu Jinxin’s feelings. After all, Tu Jinxin was a seed player under his charge. He was a contender for both honor and achievement. Without such showpieces, he himself might have to step off, so despite his annoyance with Tu Jinxin, he generally turned a blind eye.

"Coach, it was just a minor conflict, it’s been resolved." Tu Jinxin didn’t understand why the coach was siding with An Xiuru. Surely the old man wasn’t interested in her too?

"Then get back to training." The middle-aged coach finished speaking, paid no more attention to Tu Jinxin, and smiled at Tang Zheng. "Qingqing, help him correct his swimming technique."

Tu Jinxin was stunned. "What does this mean? I was hit by this guy, he should apologize."

"You’re all grown-ups. Can’t be impulsive. How about this: have a friendly 400-meter freestyle swim. Then we’ll consider the matter settled." The bald coach’s eyes darted, an idea forming in his mind. In addition to assessing Tang Zheng’s potential, he also hoped to arouse his competitive spirits, using this as an opportunity to recruit him into the provincial swim team, maybe even gaining another trump card for himself.

"Join the swimming team. Age is not a problem, your physical condition is fantastic." The bald coach said as he moved towards Tang Zheng, his hand reaching out to examine his muscles.

"Not interested." Tang Zheng slapped his hand away.

The girl from the diving team wearing a swimsuit curiously looked at Tang Zheng. So, the coach wanted to recruit him. No wonder he was being so helpful.

An Xiuru knitted her brow, and shot a glance at Tang Zheng’s back. His figure was as firm as a pine tree, each muscle seemed to be brimming with endless strength. His skin was so flawless it made her envious.

"Ha, am I hearing things? Coach, you plan to let an untrained ordinary citizen into the swimming team? Are you looking down on us professional athletes?" Tu Jinxin sneakily tried to incite his teammates against the coach.

"Finding a good seedling is not easy." The more the bald coach looked at Tang Zheng, the more he liked him. He didn’t notice the implied trap in Tu Jinxin’s words.

"Okay, I’ll compete with him. But whoever loses must drink five gulps of water from this swimming pool." Tu Jinxin glared at Tang Zheng, fuming.

The ordinary citizens who came for fun didn’t care about fairness. As long as they had a show to watch. However, some people in the swimming team felt that Tu Jinxin was going too far.

"Forget it, you are a seed player and provincial champion, why are you competing with an ordinary person?" A middle-aged woman who was teaching synchronized swimming walked over, the dispute had begun to disturb normal practice.

"If you’re afraid to compete, then get lost, you’re an eyesore." Tu Jinxin looked at An Xiuru. Knowing he couldn’t win her over, he viciously verbally attacked Tang Zheng, intending to tarnish his image in An Xiuru’s heart and ruin their potential relationship.

"Sure."

The members of the swimming team whispered among themselves, discussing Tu Jinxin’s arrogant behavior. As the big shot of the provincial team, he was indeed acting the part. However, when they suddenly heard a ’Sure’, they froze, and then turned to look at Tang Zheng.

"Did I hear that correctly? This is going to be interesting."

"This guy is crazy. His body may be good, but he definitely can’t beat Tu Jinxin. He’s got a professional sports certificate."

"Bullshit, he might not even be able to beat me, and I’m just a third-tier athlete."

"Kid, you’re asking for death." Tu Jinxin felt his dignity being challenged, he roared in anger, then quickly calmed himself down and adjusted his breathing. He was going to completely defeat this guy soon, crush his confidence. "Seedling? Hmph, I’ll nip it in the bud."

"I’m fine with the competition, but I want to raise the stakes. If you lose, in addition to drinking swimming pool water, you have to leave the swimming team." Tang Zheng stood there nonchalantly. Tu Jinxin might be one meter eighty tall, but when standing in front of Tang Zheng, he was still a bit shorter. Feeling looked down upon was extremely unpleasant.

"And if you lose?" Tu Jinxin looked at An Xiuru, then sneered at Tang Zheng. "Walk out of the swimming hall and run naked to the Century Square!"

"Fine." Tang Zheng’s expression remained calm, but the athletes around filled the air with exclaimed shouts. Did this guy have a masochistic streak? Even the ordinary citizens felt Tang Zheng was destined to lose. They had even planned to take pictures later.

Tu Jinxin didn’t suggest any bets related to An Xiuru. He wasn’t stupid. He knew that would be humiliation.

"Don’t compete, you can’t win." Qingqing seemed anxious, she was trying to persuade Tang Zheng to give up the competition.

"Shut up, is it your place to speak?" Tu Jinxin cursed at Qingqing, then stared at Tang Zheng. "Kid, don’t keep me waiting."

After saying this, Tu Jinxin turned and walked away to warm up, he wouldn’t risk his body for a joke.

"Don’t cry, this guy will be out of the swimming team soon." Seeing the tearful Qingqing, Tang Zheng saw the girl’s kindness, she was at least a lot better than those who were inciting the trouble.
