The Physician Tycoon

As if on cue, Ye Kai answered the phone, and Su Xiaotian's familiar voice came through.

"Boss, where are you?"

Ye Kai casually replied, "I'm in Jiangzhou."

Su Xiaotian laughed heartily, "Haha, don't lie to me. I know you're not in Jiangzhou. Tell the truth, are you in Japan?"

Ye Kai asked curiously, "How did you know I was in Japan?"

"I guessed, hahaha, looks like I was right."

Ye Kai hadn't expected Su Xiaotian to have this trick up her sleeve; she'd learned how to deceive people.

"What made that guess?"

"I was just guessing. I came to the capital and I missed you a lot, so I guessed you were here too."

Ye Kai found this reason ridiculous. "What are you doing in the capital?"

Su Xiaotian asked in surprise, "Boss, you can't be that out of touch, can you? Don't you know our Jiangzhou team is playing against the Dijing team?"

Ye Kai remembered what Inada Rinko had mentioned about the Yaju League, "Oh, there really is such a thing."

"Boss, where are you in Beijing?"

"I'm at school."

Which school?

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll come find you."

"Don't come again, I'm leaving soon."

"Boss, do you have time to come to the Sakura Grand Hotel? I'd like to treat you to dinner here."

"Alright, I'll go check on you."

Ye Kai put down his phone. "Let's go, Rinko, let's go to the Sakura Grand Hotel."

"Okay, I'll call a car."

"No need, I have a car."

Ye Kai took out a four-wheel drive, land, water and air SUV from the jade gourd. It could even fly at low altitudes with wings attached, which left Inada Rinko speechless.

Wow, that's so advanced!

"The more advanced stuff is yet to come, let's go, Rinko."

Ye Kai drove Inada Rinko to the Sakura Grand Hotel.

Su Xiaotian, accompanied by a group of bodyguards, personally greeted Ye Kai at the hotel entrance. Ye Kai immediately spotted Si Zhongxin standing next to Su Xiaotian. This time, on his trip to the capital, Si Zhongxin personally led the team to protect Su Xiaotian.

Si Zhongxin nodded to Ye Kai in greeting, and Ye Kai nodded back.

Su Xiaotian warmly greeted Ye Kai and hugged him, "Boss, it's so nice to see you again."

He had sharp eyes and spotted Inada Rinko following behind Ye Kai.

"Why does this woman look familiar?"

"I brought them from Jiangzhou; they're locals."

"Okay, boss, I'm even planning to get a few Japanese girls to serve you."

Ye Kai waved his hand, "No, I'm conserving my energy."

"Let's go to the room."

Su Xiaotian led Ye Kai to room 8888, which was the presidential suite of the Sakura Grand Hotel.

The two sat down in the living room, and tea, fruit, and snacks were immediately served; the service was indeed attentive.

Su Xiaotian pointed to the kitchen, "The most famous chef in Japan is here. We'll eat here in a bit and try some Japanese cuisine."

"I heard you're involved in football?"

"Yes, we have a team in Jiangzhou that was promoted from the top division last year. The old man bought the team when he was alive and hired a professional manager to manage it."

"That guy was no good. I just happened to be dismissed by the old man and had nothing to do at home, so I fired the manager and took over as the club's chairman and general manager myself. I even changed the name to Xiaotian Club."

"Sure, this is a good fit for you."

How do you know I'm suited for this?

"You like to play, isn't football just about playing?"

"Haha, you're right, I just love to have fun. As soon as I took office, I bought a few star players from West Brazil, and they utterly crushed the Japanese and Korean teams. It was so satisfying!"

Just then, the chef came in and said that the dishes were ready.

"Let's go eat."

Ye Kai followed Su Xiaotian into the restaurant. The restaurant in the presidential suite was very spacious, with more than 20 square meters.

Rinko Inada was very well-behaved; she stood behind Ye Kai and didn't sit at the table.

Su Xiaotian waved his hand, "You should sit down too. I feel really awkward with you standing like this."

Rinko Inada politely declined, saying, "I cannot sit at the table while my master is dining with you."

Su Xiaotian waved his hand, "It's okay, it's no fun having dinner with just the boss. You come and keep me company."

Ye Kai said, "President Su asked you to sit down, so please sit down."

"Thank you." Inada Rinko had gotten used to speaking the Daxia language and didn't even say "arigato" anymore.

She obediently sat down next to Ye Kai.

"Come on, boss, let's have a welcome dinner!" Su Xiaotian excitedly raised his glass.

After a few rounds of drinks, Su Xiaotian suddenly sighed.

Su Xiaotian was a carefree and playful person, and Ye Kai rarely saw him sigh. Puzzled, he asked...

Why are you sighing?

"Boss, you don't know this, our team was doing really well, we were on a roll and were about to make it to the knockout stage, but then one of our key wingers got injured and we can't find a suitable replacement. It looks like tomorrow's game is going to be a disaster."

"Can the injury of just one winger really have such a big impact on the team's strength?"

"Of course, this winger has performed very well in the previous few games, scoring in almost every game. If he is absent, who can replace him? Teikyo Fuji Bank is a very strong club, and they were the runners-up last season."

Su Xiaotian suddenly remembered something, "Hey, I remember now, boss, you're perfect for this position!"

"What did you say? I'm suited to be a winger?"

"Yes, you're the most suitable one right now."

"Are you kidding me? I've only played a few days of amateur football, never even in the provincial tournament, let alone a high-level competition like this!"

"I'm not kidding, boss. The first thing a winger needs to do is run fast. You're fast enough to disappear in the blink of an eye, so you're the most suitable."

Ye Kai curled his lip, "What an amateur leading an expert. Do you even know anything about football? Playing football isn't just about running fast; you also need good technique, the ability to dribble, pass, and shoot."

"That's easy. Aren't you supposed to have superpowers? You can kick the ball into the goal from the backfield with a single kick!"

"Give me a break, from the backfield? I'd be more likely to kick it into my own net."

Rinko Inada chuckled and quickly covered her mouth.

Su Xiaotian laughed heartily, "Boss, you've gotten more humorous these past few days! How about we find a field and play a few rounds later and see?"

"I'm not going to kick you. Go find whoever you want."

"Boss, you don't understand why I absolutely have to win this game."

"What else could it be? You're just very competitive."

"It's not just for that reason. Those damn Japanese look down on us in China, saying we play terribly and that any college team could easily beat our Chinese Super League team."

"I brought in these star players from West Brazil with high salaries just to prove them wrong, and we were almost in the knockout stage of the Asian Cup, but then this bad luck struck. Sigh, what bad luck!"

Seeing Su Xiaotian's dejected look, Ye Kai felt a little sorry for him. Although the kid was unruly, he respected Ye Kai a lot and would call him "boss" whenever they met. Ye Kai decided to help him out. He was sure he could handle a fight, but he was not confident about football.
