"A basketball game?"
Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow, looked at Wang Zhengyu in front of him, and smirked, then chuckled, "You've really got your hands on us."
Chen He also said, "Isn't it just that you want to swindle money from us? And you even put together a basketball tournament? I bet that was something you came up with on the spur of the moment."
Deng Chao, however, remained unfazed, confidently stating, "You still dare to play basketball with us? Don't you know I make all ten of my shots?"
Xia Nian raised her hand and shouted, "I know, I know!"
Deng Chao immediately gave Xia Nian a heart gesture and said with a smile, "Nian Nian is still the most supportive."
Shu Chang covered the microphone and whispered in Liu Yifei's ear, "Qianqian, I remember you sent me a video of Xia Chuan playing basketball before, where he could even dunk?"
Liu Yifei smiled slightly, covering the microphone as well, and nodded slightly: "You have a good memory. My husband is incredibly good at basketball. He has a very accurate shot and can even dunk!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Chang glanced at Xia Chuan and chuckled softly, "Director Wang probably doesn't know. Judging from Xia Chuan's expression, he's probably planning to trick the production team."
Liu Yifei deeply agreed, feeling that her husband was quite cunning.
Tao Hong and Tian Yu were casually shooting hoops on the sidelines, but they were also keeping an eye on this side.
Wang Chenyi and Zhang Yanqi stood behind Xia Chuan and the others to bolster their morale.
Seeing this, Old Wang immediately said, "Then what do you want?"
Xia Chuan glanced at Chen He and Deng Chao, then said, "We can fight, but only Brother Chao, He'er, and Xiao Lu on our side are good at it. Brother Yu, Chen Yi, Yan Qi, and I aren't very good at it, so the outcome of this battle isn't very advantageous for us."
"I think if we win, you should not only waive our tour fee for tomorrow, but also donate some educational equipment to this primary school and treat us to a big meal!"
"how?"
(I am mortal with gambling and drugs!)
Upon hearing this, Deng Chao's eyes lit up. He looked at Xia Chuan with approval and said, "I think Chuanzi's suggestion is excellent and very meaningful."
The others nodded in agreement, agreeing that being able to contribute to a primary school and help some children was indeed a positive example and a good role model.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhengyu nodded and said, "No problem, that's perfectly fine. But what if you lose? We're going to play the whole game!"
Xia Chuan asked in surprise, "We lost, so what? After all, there are seven men here, and only three of them know how to play. You can't very well let Yi Fei and the others play, can you? Or do you want Niannian to play?"
"Isn't this going a bit too far? I, as the father, wouldn't say anything about employing child labor, but making a four-year-old play a full-court basketball game, isn't that inhumane?"
Before Old Wang could even finish speaking, Xia Nian, the little devil, excitedly raised her hand and shouted, "Dad! I can play! I really can! You have to believe me!"
Xia Chuan rolled her eyes: "Believe you my ass! With your little body, you'd be sent flying three miles in one hit. You'd be cheering for your godmothers later!"
Xia Nian immediately became unhappy. Holding the basketball, she snorted softly, then pouted and walked back to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, who couldn't help but laugh.
At this point, Old Wang became unhappy and retorted, "What do you mean you just lost? Didn't you get any punishment for losing?"
Chen He: "Why not? It's two hundred yuan per person for the tour fee tomorrow. I won't renege on my debt."
Lu Han chuckled: "Old Wang, are you still drunk? You need to understand one thing first: this basketball game isn't something we absolutely have to play; it's something you guys have to beg us to play."
While dribbling the basketball, Deng Chao taunted, "Wang Zhengyu, haven't you been saying all this time how good you are at basketball? Why are you scared now?"
Zhang Yanqi: "Oh! So Director Wang is scared!"
Wang Chenyi: "That's right, that's right!"
Wang Zhengyu looked at the group of people opposite him, who were talking amongst themselves and acting like deadbeats. He had a lot of anger but nowhere to vent it.
Normally speaking, Wang Zhengyu has been a prominent figure in the variety show industry for so many years, when has he ever suffered such a great loss?
But the thought of Xia Chuan and the others still having 6,200 yuan in their hands, and the nearly 20,000 yuan they had been swindled out of last night, filled him with resentment.
He spent all his time hunting geese, only to have his eye pecked by one.
Wang Zhengyu took a deep breath, glanced at Director Li and Director Zhang beside him, then turned to look at the arrogant and smug Xia Chuan and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Fight! But if you lose, you must pay the 6,000 yuan tour fee tomorrow, otherwise just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Old Wang still managed to maintain a sliver of rationality.
Chen He glanced at Deng Chao and Lu Han, then at Xia Chuan, and asked, "What do you two think?"
Deng Chao said confidently, "As long as the competition is fair and just, I think we can definitely win. What do you think, Xiao Lu and Chuanzi?"
Lu Han nodded: "Although my favorite sport is football, I also know a little about basketball. If it's just playing against Lao Wang and his group, it shouldn't be a problem."
Xia Chuan remained composed, and said with a wry smile, "I'm not very good at it. But if it's a skating competition, I might not be afraid."
Deng Chao and Lu Han had never seen Xia Chuan play basketball, so they comforted him, saying it was okay.
But He Duo, being a genius, was incredibly clever. Coupled with his understanding of Xia Chuan, that cunning old fox, he saw the faint smile playing on the latter's lips and was certain: "The truth is out! This guy is definitely faking it!"
"No wonder I was struggling with Old Wang just now!"
"Looks like this is in the bag!"
So he immediately said, "Sure! Brother Yu will start with us, Yan Qi and Chen Yi will be substitutes, and Yi Fei and the other three will be our cheerleaders!"
No one had an opinion.
Seeing this, Old Wang revealed a cruel smile: "Fine, since you've agreed, there's no going back. Play the whole game; the first team to reach fifty points wins!"
Xia Chuan replied with a smile, "Okay, but Lao Wang, you have to come up and fight."
Deng Chao nodded: "That's right, we must beat you into submission today!"
Chen He pointed to Tian Yu, who was already seriously warming up, and said with a smile, "Old Wang, look, as soon as he heard about hitting you, Brother Yu started warming up!"
Lu Han: "Wow! Our head coach is warming up!"
Tian Yu: "Today, I descend from the mountain to vanquish the demon!"
Xia Chuan thought for a moment, then looked at everyone and asked, "So, what should our team be called?"
Lu Han: "The Blacksmiths' Alliance!"
Deng Chao: "The 'Three-No-Touch Special Supply Team'?"
Chen He: "A paid slacking-off team!"
Tian Yu: "Midlife Crisis Three-Party Team?"
Xia Nian exclaimed, "The Mighty Barbie Team! I love this one the most!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Chang and Tao Hong couldn't help but laugh. The former whispered in Liu Yifei's ear, whose forehead was covered in black lines, "Qianqian, who did this girl take after?"
Liu Yifei said speechlessly, "It definitely didn't come from me!"
