Chapter 243

On the day of the competition, they just returned to Los Angeles. Not long after returning, Xia Hongfei went to look for him. Seeing his haggard look, Lu Ziqiu guessed that he must have worried a lot about Zhao Yunchao and his son recently.

After the two sat down, they both chose to remain silent. After a long time, Xia Hongfei said, "Ziqiu, are you really unwilling to reconcile with Yunchao and his father and son?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "You don't need to talk about it, this matter is not for discussion."

"When is it time to repay the wrong? If you treat them like this now, once they come out, there is no guarantee that they will not trouble you again. Why are you doing this?"

Lu Ziqiu's pupils shrank, and he asked in a deep voice: "If I hadn't been lucky, what do you think the consequences would have been?" The matter has come to this point, and there is no need for him to hide anything.

After Xia Hongfei finished listening, he smiled wryly and did not speak again. The two sat in silence for a while, then Xia Hongfei took his leave and left. Not long after, Bai Yufei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came over.

She was not as polite as Xia Hongfei. When she came in, she directly asked Lu Ziqiu to give up the responsibility of Zhao Yunchao and his son. Lu Ziqiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he packed up and left the office directly.

Bai Yufei caught up with him, "I will warn you one last time, you."

Lu Ziqiu's eyes turned cold, and he interrupted her in a deep voice, "You'd better not bother me, otherwise I will never let their father and son go even if I go bankrupt."

Bai Yufei's eyes also turned cold, "Are you really unwilling to give up?"

"nonsense."

"You are courting death."

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Or do you think I don't know what you've done? To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for Kexin's sake, I would never let you go, so I hope you don't challenge my bottom line again. "

Bai Yufei stared at him coldly, "You asked for this." Then she turned and left angrily.

Lu Ziqiu pondered for a while, returned to the office, and called Xia Hongfei and Xia Kexin. After hearing this, Xia Hongfei said, "Just lead the team to play well. I will watch over Yufei and guarantee that you are okay."

"The reason why I called you was not because I was afraid."

"I understand, don't worry, she won't do anything stupid."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Xia Kexin rushed over, "Is my mother really threatening you?"

Lu Ziqiu nodded and invited her to take a seat, "Kexin, forgive me for saying something harsh, your mother is mentally ill, and I know what she has done to me since I came to the Wolves, for your sake Now, I have endured it, if she messes around again this time, then don't blame me for being rude."

Xia Kexin was taken aback by his eyes, "Don't be like this, okay?"

Lu Ziqiu took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said these things to you."

Xia Kexin bit her lip and shook her head, "Did you tell my dad?"

"Said, he promised to watch your mother, but I don't think he can do it."

"Do you need me to do anything?"

"If possible, I hope you can move back home and don't play with the team recently. I don't want any more trouble at this time."

"Okay, I'll be following her all the time recently."

"Thank you."

Xia Kexin smiled wryly and shook her head, "If there's nothing else to do, I want to go home first." She was so anxious now that she didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

"Thanks a lot."

After Xia Kexin left, Lu Ziqiu was still worried, so he called Wei Sen again. After hearing this, Wei Sen asked with a sneer, "What do you want to do?"

"I just want to play this season with all my strength, and I don't want any accidents to happen again."

"Okay, then leave it to me."

"Don't mess around, she is Xia Kexin's mother after all."

"I understand, you can rest assured to play the game, as long as you don't forget your promise to me and the dean."

Lu Ziqiu agreed with a wry smile, "I will never forget."

In the following schedule, Lu Ziqiu gradually began to rest the main players. As for Bai Yufei, he never appeared again. In the blink of an eye, the regular season ended and the Wolves entered the playoffs with the No.2 score.

It is worth mentioning that in the later games of the season, Red Bull made a sudden effort to surpass the Hurricane and catch up to the third place. That is to say, if they can pass the first round, they will fight for life and death in the second round.

As everyone expected before the game, neither of them encountered any resistance in the playoffs, and they successfully joined the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The night before the game, George came to the door, "The season is coming to an end, what are you going to do?"

"There is nothing to prepare. I have already submitted my resignation to the board of directors. The contract ends this season."

"I mean what about the players? Aren't you going to renew the contract with Lan Feng and the others before you leave?"

He had also considered this issue before, "Let Lu Wei and Kexin handle it. Based on their friendship with Lu Wei and Kexin, they should not choose to jump out of the contract."

"That's right." George also believed in this, not to mention that the relationship between them is very good now. As long as the Wolves don't treat them badly, I believe they will not want to leave. "Do you need me to help you over there?"

Lu Ziqiu pondered for a while before shaking his head, "My side is very simple, just find a few retired players, but the team needs you." If even George leaves, it will be even more difficult for Lu Wei and Xia Kexin. Judging from the current situation, it is really not suitable for him to leave.

But having said that, George actually didn't want to leave at this time, otherwise, with their friendship, he would not have raised this question, not to mention that his wife and children have already adapted to life here. The impact will be great.

After the words fell, but seeing George hesitate to speak, he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Coach, do you have something to say?"

George sighed, "Do you think Kexin will take your place?"

"When I met with Xia Hongfei the day before yesterday, he said that he would hand over the team to Lu Wei and Kexin, but he would find someone to help them manage it."

"Yeah, did you ask him who he was looking for?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "I didn't ask about that, and with Xia Hongfei's personality, even if I asked, he might not be able to say it."

"I can help the team, it's no problem, but there's nothing I can do for the club. As for Kexin, she doesn't have much experience. Let her be the general manager. There will definitely be a lot of problems, so I think he is likely to continue. External hire, but once the new helm arrives, there may be conflicts with the players, and there is a high possibility that Lan Feng and others will be abandoned by then, have you considered all of this?"

"I've thought about it, but based on what I know about Xia Hongfei, even if he hires an external general manager, it is impossible for him to hand over the power of the team." Xia Hongfei and the board of directors actually have a strong desire to control. The method, and will never hand over the team to him with full authority. After three seasons of cooperation, he understands this better than anyone else.

"Okay, since you've thought about it, I won't say any more. I just hope that after you leave, Xia Hongfei and the others can still remember their old friendship, otherwise it will be very unfair to Lan Feng and the others."

"If that's the case, Xia Hongfei will only ask for trouble, but you don't have to worry about Lan Feng and the others. After all, they have also played their own value. If they leave, there will be a lot of teams wanting them."
