Zhu Suosuo chased after him, reaching out to hook her arm through Chen Cheng's. "Hubby, where are you going after work?"

Chen Cheng smiled and replied, "I'm going to grab a bite to eat, then play soccer at 7:30."

Zhu Suosuo's eyes lit up. "Hubby, you know how to play soccer? Can I go watch?"

Chen Cheng curled his lip. "Aren't you supposed to go home with Nansun to see Grandma Jiang?"

"Uh..." Zhu Suosuo gave a sheepish smile. "I forgot about that."

Zou Yu looked up at the two of them. "Then I'm going."

Chen Cheng: "..."

He glanced at the beautiful Zou, who was wearing a black suit uniform and a ponytail. "Are you too free?"

"If you're too free, go learn how to read financial reports."

Zou Yu playfully stuck out her tongue. "I'm off the clock."

"..." Chen Cheng sighed speechlessly. "Fine, you can come along."

"Oh yeah!" The beauty waved her fist in excitement.

Walking into the office, Chen Cheng spent some effort, hugging and comforting Zhu Suosuo for a while before she left, looking resentful.

Chen Cheng brought Zou Yu back to Huaihai Road.

After dinner, Zou Yu changed into a sporty short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

Chen Cheng changed into an Arsenal home red and white jersey, which he had bought at a mall on the way back.

Zou Yu took their soccer shoes, water bottles, and towel bag and put them into her car.

She closed the trunk and turned to get into the passenger seat.

She looked down at her phone, then turned to Chen Cheng, who had just sat in the driver's seat. "Xiao Guan says she's almost here. Should we wait for her?"

Today, Scum Cheng belonged to Guan Juer; Zou Yu was just cutting in.

However, people often cut in, but no one minded; in fact, they were grateful.

The great demon king Chen didn't know what kind of elixir he'd eaten, but he was becoming more and more bewitching.

No one begged him to go easy, and certainly no one could last until the end of the first round.

Chen Cheng lifted his hand to check his watch. "How much longer?"

"Two more intersections."

Chen Cheng smiled. "Then we'll wait for a bit."

Zou Yu nodded, replying to Guan Juer's message while asking, "When did you learn to play soccer?"

Chen Cheng had a matter-of-fact expression. "I don't."

Zou Yu was stunned. "You don't? Then why are you going to play soccer?"

"Can't I learn?"

"I happened to meet a friend, so I'll kick the ball around with him and let him see what real athletic talent is."

"..." Zou Yu curled her lip speechlessly. "You're full of it!"

After saying this, Zou Yu suddenly thought of a question and turned to look at Chen Cheng. "If I go with Xiao Guan, how are you going to introduce us?"

Chen Cheng replied without hesitation, "Aren't you my secretary?"

Zou Yu curled her lip, looking indignant. "What about Xiao Guan?"

"My girlfriend, of course~"

Zou Yu was instantly so angry she raised her hand to hit him. "Go to hell."

Chen Cheng leaned back tactically, shrinking toward the car window. "If you didn't go, wouldn't that avoid the awkwardness?"

Zou Yu thought about it. "I'm not that stupid. You want me to leave so you can have some alone time with Xiao Guan?"

"I was the one who arrived first."

The two bickered for a while until Guan Juer drove her 911 Targa into the courtyard.

She also went inside to change into a sporty short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

Chen Cheng and Zou Yu stayed in the car, too lazy to move, listening to music and enjoying the AC while waiting for Guan Juer.

Once Guan Juer got in the car, Chen Cheng drove out of the courtyard.

Aunt Qiu watched the car disappear, then looked away and smiled, sighing, "Xiao Chen is truly lucky to have so many girls who like him."

"I wonder if our Yiqiu has any girls who like him."

...

"Hey, wait, Old Chen, have you really never practiced this?"

Xu Huanshan sat on the bench, panting heavily, looking at Chen Cheng in disbelief.

It was halftime.

After Chen Cheng arrived earlier, Xu Huanshan had demonstrated fourteen basic technical moves for him.

Chen Cheng practiced them for a while.

Xu Huanshan explained some precautions to avoid injury, then pulled Chen Cheng onto the field to run around.

Learning is like that; practicing basic skills all the time gets boring.

After getting on the field, Xu Huanshan received the ball, saw no risk, and specifically passed it to Chen Cheng's feet, wanting to let him experience the charm of soccer.

As a result, he saw this guy control the ball with the instep of his foot and then quickly dribble toward the opponent's goal.

The opposing right winger came up to tackle him, but this guy used a stop-and-pull move, then turned and accelerated, bypassing the defender entirely.

At this moment, Xu Huanshan was just a bit stunned.

Chen Cheng used a croqueta to bypass the midfield in two steps;

He used a fake shot to bypass the incoming defender, and after approaching the penalty area, he took a powerful shot.

Unfortunately, the first shot was a bit too powerful and flew over the goal.

But it still left Xu Huanshan, who had chased after him, dumbfounded.

Is this really a beginner?

"Yeah, Old Chen, you're really not pulling our legs, are you?" Xu Huanshan's good buddy Shen Jie also looked at Chen Cheng.

"President Xu, President Shen, here is some water~" Zou Yu handed sports drinks to Xu Huanshan and Shen Jie.

"Thank you~" "Thank you, Secretary Zou~" Both of them smiled brightly and thanked Zou Yu.

When the three of them arrived earlier, Xu Huanshan and Shen Jie had just arrived too.

They introduced each other in the parking lot.

Watching Chen Cheng with a beautiful woman on each side, both of them were a bit stunned.

One had long legs, the other was stunningly beautiful; the two men were incredibly envious.

Guan Juer handed the drink she was holding to Chen Cheng. "Brother Cheng, here's some water."

Chen Cheng smiled and took the water. "Thank you, Baby~"

Zou Yu smiled and replied to the two of them, "You're welcome~"

"President Xu, President Shen, don't mind him."

She glanced at Chen Cheng. "He's just a freak of talent; he picks up any sport very quickly."

"Sports like freestyle swimming, tennis, cycling, and running, he can reach an expert level in all of them."

"Huh?" Xu Huanshan clearly didn't believe Zou Yu's 'exaggerated' claim.

Zou Yu looked at Chen Cheng with an adoring expression, then turned to Xu Huanshan.

"President Xu, if you don't believe me, invite the boss to go swimming another day, and you'll see."

Xu Huanshan and Shen Jie had noticed her attitude and way of speaking early on, and they could tell that her relationship with Chen Cheng was extraordinary.

Xu Huanshan nodded with a smile. "Then I'll have to find an opportunity to see that for myself."

Chen Cheng chuckled, not being humble at all. "Old Xu, aren't you afraid your spirit will be crushed by the blow?"

"Hmm~" Shen Jie shook his head with a smile. "Old Xu has a tough backbone; he's not that easily crushed."

Xu Huanshan also laughed out loud and made a gesture to kick him. "Oh, get lost."

Chen Cheng curled his lips; Shen Jie was a very loyal friend.

When Xu Huanshan's company had a tight cash flow and couldn't pay salaries, it was Shen Jie who lent the payment he had just received to Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia.

Otherwise, Xu Fireworks' fireworks company wouldn't have lasted until Gu Jia found orders from the socialite circle.

Later, it turned out that Shen Jie, who didn't produce any blue fireworks, had his fireworks factory explode first.

People died, and he, as the legal representative, went in that very day.

Being in this industry, he had long expected such a day.

He had long ago arranged for his wife and child to go abroad to avoid the limelight.

For his old father, he left a sum of money for his wife to pass on to Gu Jia and her husband, and also entrusted the couple to take care of the old man.

Shen Jie's wife was decent enough; she didn't embezzle the money and handed it over completely to Gu Jia.

After resting for a while, Xu Huanshan pulled Chen Cheng and Shen Jie back onto the field.

Zou Yu and Guan Juer went to the track on the side to go running.
