Almighty Coach

Dai Li wore a cap, sunglasses, and a scarf to hide as much of his face as possible. Almost his entire face was covered. Then he carefully looked around and quickly walked into his training center.

This should be enough to get rid of those damn paparazzi. I’m an innocent man caught in this mess. If I knew that there would be such gossips, I wouldn’t have picked up Pepe’s business. The media has no ethics whatsoever, Dai complained internally.

The receptionist at the front desk noticed Dai Li. She stood up and asked, “Sir, what can I do for you?”

“Annie, it is me.” Dai Li took off his scarf and sunglasses.

“Boss, good morning!” The beautiful receptionist greeted him with a smile, but she wondered why Dai Li was dressed the way he was.

“Good morning.” Dai Li stopped and asked, “Is Randy here?”

“Mr. Blake is here. He is seeing a customer in the reception room,” Annie replied.

“Oh. Then I will head there.” Dai Li nodded and walked to the reception room.

Dai Li knocked on the door of the reception room and walked in. He saw that Randy Blake was holding the training center’s brochure and telling the client about the brilliant achievements of the training center.

When he saw Dai Li walk in, Blake immediately introduced him to the client. “Mr. Hanks, let me introduce you. This is the boss of our training center…”

“I recognize you. You are Coach Li!” The customer interrupted Blake before he finished speaking.

Dai Li was about to answer, but the client continued. “You are Helen Pepe’s boyfriend. Coach Li, can you teach me a few tricks on how to bag a goddess?”

Dai Li looked helpless. He had explained it too many times in the last few days and now he did not want to waste his breath again. Most of the time people didn’t believe Dai Li’s explanation. Trying to explain it made it seem like he was trying to cover it up.

Dai Li did not explain. He immediately changed the topic and shifted the customer’s attention.

After sending away the customer, Blake smiled and pushed Dai Li’s shoulder,.”Li, Helen Pepe is a goddess to countless people. Even I envy you!”

“That’s enough. Those paparazzi have already given me a headache, so don’t tease me. You know this is a misunderstanding, I have nothing to do with Pepe. I just helped give her a massage.” Dai Li looked even more helpless than before.

Blake smiled and said, “Actually, this kind of thing is common, especially in Los Angeles. Hollywood and most of the world’s stars are here. Naturally, the media will exaggerate reports based on gossip. The more you care about the paparazzi, the more they are interested in you. The more you ignore them, and do what you need to do, they will give up on you. Then, average people will forget about this.”

Dai Li nodded. American stars did indeed deal with gossip differently than Chinese stars. Chinese stars wrapped themselves up to hide their face in fear of being photographed by the paparazzi. American stars were willing to get pictures taken of them. They continued to go about their everyday activities.

“Right. Why did you come to me?” Blake asked.

“I have to go back to China. I already booked my ticket. I will leave tomorrow. This will be the first time you are in charge of the training center,” Dai Li said.

“It’s not a big deal. Some media just want to hype it up. You don’t need to hide on the other side of the globe,” Blake said.

“I’m not trying to hide. I’m not worried about these unscrupulous reports either. What I’m worried about is my girlfriend.” Dai Li pointed to the mobile phone in his hand and went on to say, “After this happened, she stopped answering my calls. She even blocked me on WeChat.”

“So you have to go back to put out the fire?” Blake laughed as if he was taking joy in Dai Li’s misery. He went on to say, “If it were me, I would do the same thing if I thought that my boyfriend and Helen Pepe got into bed together. How are you going to explain it to your girlfriend? Even if you tell the truth, she may not believe you.”

“Fortunately, I installed surveillance in the massage room. I have the surveillance video. It will be able to prove my innocence,” Dai Li said.

“You installed a surveillance camera? So you and Helen Pepe didn’t do anything?” Blake pretended to be surprised. It was obviously to tease Dai Li.

Dai Li stared at Blake, and Blake smiled slyly. He went on to say, “I have never seen you look so flustered before. I didn’t expect Coach Li, who was full of confidence even at the Olympics, would have such a side. Okay, you rest assured and return to China. Just let me take care of the training center.”

“Okay. I will try to come back as soon as possible,” Dai Li said.

“You don’t have to worry. Just come back after you deal with your girlfriend. When women encounter this kind of thing, even if you explained it clearly, it will stay on her mind. You don’t have to rush it. If worst comes to worst, you should bring her to the United States. If you live together and let her be by your side every day, it may dispel her doubts,” Blake said.

“Live together?” Dai Li was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly laughed. Then he grabbed Blake’s shoulder with excitement and said, “Randy, thank you, thank you for reminding me. You are right. I should marry her! I will buy a diamond ring. I will propose to her!”

“What? Propose?” Blakes was shocked.

What I meant was that they could try to live together first. Did Dai Li misunderstand me? He wants to go and buy a diamond ring to propose to his girlfriend? Blake thought.

Dai Li ran out excitedly to buy a diamond ring.

Many young men and women in China chose to live together before marriage, while young people in the United States did the same but would remove the words “before marriage.” To them, it was just simple cohabitation. Although many of the men and women were really in love, it was normal to only live together without getting married for a decade or two. Even if they had children, there was no need to get married.

For example, many American sports stars had children before they got married. When a son went to attend the wedding of his parent, sometimes he would wear a suit and act as his parents’ page boy. Such situations were normal in the United States, but not in China.

Therefore, Blake had just been talking about cohabitation.

Dai Li was not an American, so he thought Blake’s suggestion was to propose to Xiao Yunan.

Blake looked at the back of Dai Li in the far off distance and immediately planned to stop him.

However, just as Blake was about to call out, he held back.

Li, this decision may be just a spur of a moment thing, but I do hope to attend your wedding, Blake shook his head as he smiled. Then he suddenly remembered his wife.

We haven’t had a romantic two-person date for a long time… Blake pulled out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number of a restaurant.

“Hello, my name is Randy Blake, I want to make a reservation for tonight. Oh right, please help me prepare some roses…”
