Chapter 341: Be Vulnerable to Envy
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Obviously, Dai Li didn't know Lefeng Gu, but out of courtesy, he asked, "Hello, Mr. Gu, what can I do for you?"
"I heard that you were a table tennis coach before?" Lefeng Gu asked in a condescending tone.
Dai Li didn't like Lefeng Gu's attitude, but he still answered, "I used to be a coach in the national table tennis team."
"What a coincidence! My friend also can play table tennis." Lefeng Gu pointed behind him, to the man in casual clothes, and said with fickleness, "Since you have been a table tennis coach, why not give some guidance to my friend?"
I was just asked to coach him in table tennis. Dai Li understood immediately.
Table tennis has a high public participation, as many senior table tennis fans would find some professional table tennis coaches to give them some guidance on their technique skills. There are also some professional table tennis schools which would regularly arrange some experienced coaches to guide students.
The training team would turn a blind eye to coaches' part-time jobs outside, as long as it didn't affect their normal work. After all, everyone has to support their family. However, the top coaches are not willing to find part-time jobs, and they don't have spare time. Even if they occasionally take some part-time jobs, it is only at the request of others, rather than for money.
In view of Dai Li's qualifications in the national table tennis team, it would be very popular for Dai Li to take on some part-time jobs, and there would be many people who would want to get some guidance from him.
Although I am not a professional table tennis coach, I have worked in the national table tennis team. In addition, Lefeng Gu deliberately came here to ask me for some guidance. If I reject him, it would injure our harmony.
Thinking of this, Dai Li smiled and said, "If time permits, we can communicate with each other."
Dai Li felt that he was being quite modest to Lefeng Gu, and that he had showed respect to him. However, Lefeng Gu frowned and said with disdain in his eyes, "Communicate? OK, there is no time like the present, let's do it today!"
"Today? I'm afraid I can't, as the celebration is going on, isn't it?" Dai Li rejected him tactfully, and showed his distaste for Lefeng Gu, who he felt was being rude.
"In my view, it's very suitable!" Lefeng Gu said with a strange smile, before giving a snap to the hotel manager on duty, who was standing in the distance. This caused the manager to run to him immediately.
"I push what I want!" said Lefeng Gu.
"OK, I'll arrange it right away," the manager said and trotted away.
Dai Li saw this and had doubts immediately.
Lefeng Gu must be unusual, the duty manager knew him and showed respect to him, so I must be cautious.
Just as Dai Li was pondering, he saw some waiters pushing a table tennis table outside the banquet hall.
Suddenly, there was a table tennis table in the banquet hall, which attracted everyone's attention. But as for Dai Li, he was wary of Lefeng Gu.
This is the celebration party of Dingtian Club. It's incredible that Lefeng Gu was able to push a table tennis table on such an occasion. If he were an ordinary person, even if he had the courage, he would not have the ability.
Lefeng Gu must be up to something. If he wanted me to give him some guidance, he needn't put a table tennis table in the banquet hall. He must have come here to find fault with me! What's the identity of Lefeng Gu? His last name is "Gu", which is a rare last name. It has just occurred to me that Jinsui Group is one of the team's shareholders, and its chairman was called Jianshe Gu, so did they know each other?" Dai Li wondered in silence.
The table tennis table was pushed to the middle of the banquet hall, then fixed. But Lefeng Gu added, "Coach Li, I have prepared the table tennis table for you, so if you don't give my friend some guidance, you must despise me!"
Lefeng Gu's last words held a bullying tone, which made Dai Li even more uncomfortable.
Forget it, it seems that he is an unreasonable rich second generation, so I'd better not offend him.
Thinking of this, Dai Li nodded, then stood up and said, "In that case, I'll give some guidance to the guy behind you, but I don't know how to call him."
Lefeng Gu pointed to the man in casual clothes behind him and said, "His name is Yaozu Li."
"What a coincidence, he has the same last name as me," said Dai Li.
"Don't cotton up with me, we are not the same, I'm from Singapore! I have nothing to do with the people of your country," he said coldly, showing his contempt for Dai Li. Although he spoke Mandarin, there was a strong foreign accent in his words.
Lefeng Gu smiled triumphantly, as he was apparently very satisfied with Yaozu Li's performance.
What a pity! He wasted a good name, Yaozu? He didn't even know who his ancestors were, so how could he be so proud? Dai Li couldn't help despising Yaozu Li.
"Please, coach Li!" Lefeng Gu pointed to the table, Dai Li went straight up to the table and took the racket from the waiter.
Meanwhile, the waiter handed the racket to Yaozu Li, but he rejected it and said, "I use my own racket."
Rejecting the rackets provided by the hotel, Yaozu Li took a cloth bag out of his bag and took out his own racket.
He was well-equipped. Dai Li looked at the racket subconsciously and was slightly shocked.
The tennis bottom was made by Butterfly VISCARIA, which was made up of five layers of wood and two layers of aryl carbon. It is characterized as being light weight, having good flexibility, a good damping effect and good elasticity, and because it is suitable for loop. I remembered that Pengfei Cui had the same racket. In addition, the forehand rubber of his racket was made by STIGA, and the backhand rubber was made by BUTTERFLY, all of which are the equipments of professional table tennis players. Hence, this set of equipment is suitable for attacking loop. It seemed that he tends to loop.
Having worked on the national table tennis team for a long time, Dai Li was quite familiar with such top table tennis equipment. And the equipment used by Yaozu Li was the top table tennis equipment that was used by the players of the national table tennis team, and these equipments were of the same type and brand.
A person who can use this equipment is either a professional table tennis player or a super fan of table tennis, which one is he? Thinking of this, Dai Li couldn't help but measuring up Yaozu Li.
As expected, he was a professional table tennis player of more than 600 personal ability. Although he is not a top player at home, if he was placed in somewhere outside of Asia, he could represent a country to compete in the Olympics!
Dai Li became serious immediately, then looked at Lefeng Gu quietly. However, Lefeng Gu was also staring at Dai Li, whose eyes were just like a hungry vulture, staring at dying prey!
He asked me to give some guidance to a brilliant professional table tennis player, so he was just trying to pick on me! But when did I offend him?
Dai Li shook his head slightly, wondering: Why was I so vulnerable to envy?
