Lefeng Gu left with embarrassment. The experience wouldn't be forgotten in his whole life. He must take responsibility for the great loss of Jinsui Group, for which he would be punished by Jianshe Gu.

The slapstick comedy ended in such a way, that it just looked like an interval show for most people. For Yunan Xiao, she knew that winning the ping-pong contest solved the problem of equity allocation, pushing the IPO of Ding Tian Football Club one step forward, and simultaneously, moving her closer toward her ultimate goal.

"Wipe your sweat first!" Yunan Xiao approached Dai Li, handing up a wet tissue for him, then said, "I didn't expect you were such an excellent ping-pong player, and that you could even beat a Singapore professional athlete."

"After all, I was a member of National Ping-pong Team before. I can't beat my teammates though, and I can't lose the game with foreigners, or it would be an embarrassment for our team." Dai Li smiled and took the tissue, then said, "Lefeng Gu, will he keep his promise?"

"I will handle that." Yunan Xiao stopped for a while to just stare at Dai Li, then she smiled like a shy little girl and said, "Thank you."

Dai Li stood in amazement at her unusual behavior. In his mind, Yunan Xiao was independent and never behaved like this.

Yunan Xiao continued, "I know what you've done to help me... well, in fact, I..."

She didn't know what to say, because she wasn't good at showing her appreciation, or emotions. At this moment, a strong man wearing a suit and a pair of glasses walked towards them.

"That is my father's assistant Zhicheng Huang, he comes for me." Switching back to being in the capable and confident daughter role, she walked to meet him.

"Mr. Huang, my father wants to see me?" Yunan Xiao asked.

"I come for Mr. Li, actually, chairman wants to see him," Zhicheng Huang pointed at Dai Li.

"Why does my father want to see Mr. Li?" Yunan Xiao asked, a little nervous.

"I'm not quite sure. I am a messenger only," Zhicheng Huang replied.

Yunan Xiao turned around and spoke to Dai Li, "My father wants to see you! Go, let's go together!"

Zhicheng Huang led the way, Dai Li and Yuan Xiao walked behind him, side by side. Dai Li was nervous, as he didn't know what Dingtian Xiao's purpose was, or what to do. Zhicheng Huang led them into a small reception room, where Dingtian Xiao sat on central sofa with a document in his hand, a pair of glasses on his nose.

"Father!" Yunan Xiao shouted.

"Chairman, I brought them here," Zhicheng Huang said.

Dingtian Xiao raised his head up to look at both of them, then asked, "You are Mr. Li, right?"

Hello, sir, I am Dai Li," Dai Li replied in a rush.

Dingtian Xiao nodded, turned around, and spoke to Yunan Xiao, "Yunan, would you please leave us alone, I'd like to talk with Mr. Li in private."

Yunan Xiao hesitated for a while, watching Dai Li with a complicated expression, then went out.

"Have a seat, Mr. Li," Dingtian Xiao pointed to a sofa beside him, easy-going.

Dai Li walked toward the sofa and sat down with serious expression.

"Don't be nervous," Dingtian Xiao seemed to be used of this kind of situation, as he put down the document and said, "Actually, I want to thank you for helping me solve this case of equity allocation. What happened today was out of my anticipation. However, Jianshe Gu may think that he was fooled by me."

"It was too much for him to bully us, and I was forced to do that," Dai Li asked.

"Forced to do that?" Dingtian Xiao smiled and said, "There is rumor that you are the boyfriend of Yunan."

This suddenly appearing topic made Dai Li speechless.

Dingtian Xiao said, "You needn't explain to me, because I know what happened to some extent. You were used to be a shield in order to deal with Fen Luo. Nothing happened between the two of you."

He continued, "You are an excellent young man. As a coach, at your age, the achievement you've gained is not bad. I am your boss, and I hope you can have a clear understanding of yourself."

Dai Li was confused, and so he didn't follow Dingtian Xiao at first.

Dingtian Xiao moved his back a little bit and explained, "In short, I hope you leave my daughter alone."

Dai Li's eyebrow knitted, accompanied by a frown. Dingtian Xiao's direct refusal deeply hurt his self-esteem.

Dingtian Xiao continued, "Of course, you solved the problem of equity allocation, which Dingtian will not forget. At the end of this year, the company will give you a special bonus."

Dai Li got it now, suddenly. A big stick first, a date later. Telling Dai Li to get away from Yunan Xiao first, then giving him a sum of money later.

Dai Li nodded, although, he was in a paradox. He tried to calm himself down, and his wisdom told him that nothing would happen between them, because they were from different worlds. At the same time, he realized that he felt terrible when he even thought of the idea of "leave my daughter alone".

At the moment, Dai Li finally realized that he had fallen in love with Yunan Xiao. Maybe he is right. Maybe I should stay away from Yunan, because I do not deserve her. She can have a better husband.

He tried his best to control his emotions, but his brain couldn't get rid of the thought of her. What is worse, he couldn't help thinking about Fen Luo, as he considered what kind of man she deserved.

It is a suitable marriage, that can ensure a happy life, rather than a political marriage! The thought flashed through Dai Li's mind and gave him courage.

"Mr. Xiao, I know what you mean. However, I'd like to show my view," Dai Li was serious.

He continued, "She's your daughter, so shouldn't you consider her thoughts and feelings? I know you want to find her a capable husband, who can help you deal with the businesses of Dingtian. So, is it worth it to ruin your daughter's happiness, for your company?"
