The old man's face lit up with joy. He leaned closer to Shen Jingjing and asked in a low voice, "Um, can you tell if the baby is a boy or a girl?"

The words had barely left her lips when Wen Shuyi overheard them. Before Shen Jingjing could even speak, she interrupted, her tone slightly reproachful: "Dad, what kind of question is that? Aren't boys and girls equally precious? They're both treasures of the Jiang family."

"I'm just asking. I want to know in advance." The old man gently blew on his beard, his tone tinged with a hint of grievance, and he explained in a low voice, "Can't I just ask? If I can find out whether it's a boy or a girl, I can prepare some clothes and supplies for the child in advance, so I won't be caught off guard at the last minute."

“I think you just want a granddaughter!” Wen Shuyi wasn’t going to put up with him and said bluntly, “Let me tell you, don’t always worry about the baby’s gender and put pressure on Jingjing. It’s not her decision whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Don’t you know what kind of genes your Jiang family has? It’s not surprising that you have two boys.”

"Oh dear, please stop talking, it's giving me a headache." The old man quickly waved his hand upon hearing this.

He really longs for a granddaughter.

Shen Jingjing didn't feel any pressure, and her face always wore a gentle smile. This was her and Jiang Yuanliang's child, and whether it was a boy or a girl, she and Yuanliang were filled with joy and longing, only praying that the child would be safe and healthy.

She smiled and looked at the old man, saying softly, "Dad, I didn't pay attention to the gender during the prenatal checkup, and even if the doctor could tell, they wouldn't say anything. It's the law."

The old man nodded reluctantly, not daring to ask any more questions, fearing that if he asked too many, it would turn out to be two boys after all.

At this moment, Shen Xing came downstairs, all tidied up. Seeing the old man sitting on the sofa and Uncle Feng standing to the side, Shen Xing politely and obediently went up to greet him: "Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Uncle Feng."

The old man's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Xingxing, you didn't go to school today?"

"Grandpa, I don't have class today. I was just about to head out to the base. The team has important business to attend to today."

The old man had watched Shen Xing's matches from the very beginning and even praised him for bringing high advertising revenue to Shen Jingjing's company with his team uniforms, so he knew what his team was all about.

So he nodded and said with a smile, "Then go quickly."

"Mom, I'm going out now." Shen Xing first looked at his mother and then politely said goodbye to everyone else: "Goodbye Grandpa, goodbye Grandpa Feng, goodbye Auntie."

Calm and composed, polite and courteous, she is very likable.

After Shen Xing left, the old man said, "I like Xingxing, and I like Aci and Ali too. Jingjing, you are capable of raising three children to be successful all by yourself. I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart. The two babies in your belly will definitely be outstanding in the future as well."

Compared to being praised herself, Shen Jingjing, as a mother, actually prefers to hear her child being praised.

Although this wasn't the first time the old man had praised Aci, Ali, and Xingxing, Shen Jingjing was still happy to hear it and couldn't help but smile knowingly: "I don't expect my children to have great abilities or be successful in the future, as long as they are healthy and happy."

"That's right. Health and happiness should always come first," the old man nodded in agreement.

"Fuyang Building".

Shen Xing finally found a parking space on the roadside, locked the car, and quickly ran towards the gate.

From afar, he saw Coach Haichang waiting at the gate, and he quickly quickened his pace.

"Coach Haichang!"

Approaching, Shen Xing stopped panting and explained with an embarrassed look, "The parking lot downstairs is under expansion and the entrance is closed. There are too few street parking spaces, and I've been looking for ages."

The Haichang coach, carrying a backpack, smiled and said, "It's okay, I just arrived too."

"Why don't you just go up? There are people inside the base!"

"You said you were almost there, so I thought I'd wait for you to come together." Coach Haichang said, glancing up at the building above. "I know this place. It's the headquarters of the university teams. Almost 90% of the university teams in Longcheng have their bases here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Haichang coach was recognized.

"Coach Haichang!"

"Coach Haichang, is that really you? What brings you here?"

"Can I take a photo with you, coach? I'm a big fan of your team."

The people coming and going here are mostly members of university teams, so they must all know Coach Haichang.

Shen Xing's name is currently enjoying immense popularity in university esports teams, and it's easy for people to guess what's going on when he stands next to Coach Haichang.

"Shen Xing, Haichang's coach wants to sign you?"

"Wow, I wonder if we'll ever see you in professional matches again?"

"Will you still play in the college league?"

Shen Xing patiently explained to these people, and after he finished, he quickly led the Haichang coach into the building, afraid of being seen by others again.

In the elevator, Haichang coach looked at Shen Xing and joked, "You should wear a hat when you go out in the future, because you're sure to become even more famous."

Shen Xing smiled somewhat embarrassedly, because he was actually quite enjoying it, at least for now.

When they arrived at the training base, everyone else had already arrived. Upon seeing Coach Haichang, everyone's expression was one of extreme excitement.

After exchanging greetings, Coach Haichang took the initiative to say, "Let me tour your training base first."

“No problem.” Shen Xing quickly took the initiative to lead the way: “Coach, please follow me.”

Unlike the team bases I was used to, Shen Xing's team base was decorated very luxuriously, with the best in every detail and material, and even the decorations looked priceless.

"Are these crystals?" Coach Haichang asked, pointing to the crystal ornaments in the corner.

Shen Xing nodded: "Yes, my sister bought it."

After looking around, Coach Haichang couldn't help but exclaim, "Your team base is really nice, and it's very clean."

Jin Dao, who was following behind, couldn't help but grin foolishly upon hearing this. As a logistics staff member, he would clean the base carefully every day. This was the most meticulous work he had ever done in his life. He never expected to be praised by Coach Haichang.

After a while, everyone sat down on the sofa in the living room again.

The fact that everyone is here today is obviously because there's something important going on—the important matter of signing a team contract.

Coach Haichang glanced around at the group in front of him, let out a soft breath, and slowly said, "Shen Xing should have already told you the details, right? Do I need to repeat them again?"

The group exchanged glances, and finally Bai Lianghe spoke up, "Coach, please say it again. I'm afraid Shen Xing might have misrepresented it."

After saying that, she took out her phone, turned on the recording function, looked up at Coach Haichang, and asked, "You don't mind if I record this, do you?"
