No one had expected Lin Yan to be really injured. Plus, she had sustained a leg injury that was rather serious.
Incredibly, she had emerged victorious after beating the best team!
Everyone gaped at Lin Yan in amazement and surprise.
No wonder she hadn’t been able to perform consistently…
“Why are you so smug? You merely won a low-ranking, unimportant competition! You haven’t seen the real deal yet!” Su Cai gnashed her teeth bitterly when her ploy failed. She sneered aloud before turning on her heel.
Lin Yan who had ‘never seen the real deal’ grinned as she watched her leave.
…
At the He residence…
After the competition, the Aurora team members convened for an evaluation.
An evaluation was the process of summarizing every team member’s performance and abilities. The team would also analyze the entire competition to spot the mistakes that the members had made. Then, they would evaluate the entire experience and strategies employed in order for the team to strengthen and improve.
In the racing arena, evaluations were important.
Mo Shuyun helmed the fort by organizing the meeting.
He had been a captain for years and he possessed rich experience. He was certainly qualified to host a meeting. However, it was also crucial for the team as they moved forward to grasp any tiny, fine details or mistakes. During the evaluation, Lin Yan also kept an eye on everyone as she added her input.
The evaluation was combined with training over the span of several days. Lin Yan would attend the meetings every day and juggle her part-time jobs as well. Occasionally, she would take up the role of a sparring partner in races with other players. She was busy earning money the entire day and she couldn’t help but pack her day with plans from morning to night.
At JM Corporation…
Pei Yucheng gazed at his phone as he recalled the WeChat text that Pei Yutang had sent him a few days ago. ‘Big Brother, rest assured. I’ve informed Big Sister-In-Law about your birthday. She won’t forget! She said she will have a big surprise planned for you!’
Surprise…
His birthday was tomorrow, but Lin Yan acted as though nothing was happening. She hadn’t even asked him to meet her.
Night had fallen.
As darkness gradually eclipsed, Pei Yucheng’s phone remained silent. There weren’t any texts or phone calls.
The man adjusted his spectacles slightly before picking up his phone and typing a message.
Pei Yucheng typed, ‘Do you have any plans tomorrow?’
When Lin Yan saw Pei Yucheng’s text, she was observing one of the team members as he trained. At the same time, she was also multi-tasking by playing games online. Ever since she had lost a major client like Wang Jingyang, she could only settle for other players.
Pei Yucheng’s text appeared on her screen, but Lin Yan hesitated. She was caught in a momentary dilemma between earning money and replying to her boyfriend. In the end, she chose to continue playing the game.
However, she was anxious to reply to Pei Yucheng, so she tried her best to finish the game at top speed.
After the game, Lin Yan hastily typed, ‘Tomorrow? Tomorrow, I will be quite busy. In the morning, I have to make a trip to Summit Entertainment. Sister Ling said that she clinched an advertisement for me. The money seems quite substantial this time. In the afternoon, I have to record a variety show. I will be acting in Legend soon, so my fees have doubled. Oh yeah, at night, I have to go to the gaming company to do some translation work. That boss is naive but rich. He pays me ten times more than normal…’
Lin Yan typed everything that came to her mind.
Pei Yucheng read her text silently. She seemed to be busier than him.
He then asked, ‘Are you free at night?’
Pei Yucheng had decided to ask her once more.
