Just then, a commotion came from the corridor outside the rest area. It sounded like several boys were talking and laughing as they walked this way.

Shen Xing and the others subconsciously looked up, and the next second, they saw six or seven boys walking into the hall with their arms around each other's shoulders.

The other party seemed surprised to find someone in the lounge. When they saw Shen Xing and his group, their expressions faltered before they could even process what they had seen.

The boy in the lead was not tall, about 1.72 meters. He was wearing a red and black motorcycle jacket, and his American-style spiky hair was styled very well with hair wax. He was quite handsome.

"Owen, why are you guys back so early?"

Xiao Qiang was the first to react, and after getting up, his tone and attitude became noticeably more respectful.

Owen, the leader of the group, saw Xiaoqiang smile and said, "We were going to eat at Kaojiang, but the line was almost 300 meters long before they even opened. Are these people out of their minds? Is it really necessary to wait six or seven hours for a grilled fish? We decided to just eat at Haidilao and come back!"

"Why didn't you go out?" Owen walked up to them, asking Xiao Qiang, but his eyes were on Shen Xing and the others, especially the girls, who aroused the boys' curiosity.

You should know that there are no other women in this club building besides the cafeteria ladies and cleaning ladies, let alone girls of their age!

Before Xiaoqiang could answer, Irving asked again, "Who are they?"

"Oh, it's a new player the club wants to sign," Xiaoqiang quickly explained.

Just as he was about to introduce Shen Xing, Owen simply nodded and gestured for the others to sit inside: "Sit by the window, Kai, it's your treat today."

Without hesitation, Kai replied, "No problem."

So the group of people rushed towards the window inside. Xiao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Shen Xing and the others and smiled awkwardly: "These guys are all A-level players in the club. Owen was their leader."

Bai Lianghe leaned slightly to the side and whispered in Mu Jin's ear, "Head? What head? Are you offering someone a head to die?"

Mu Jin couldn't help but suppress a laugh: "How childish! Do they think they're part of an anime team?"

Shen Xing secretly glanced at those people; they looked nonchalant and each one seemed unapproachable.

“They didn’t recognize you, probably because they didn’t watch your game,” Xiao Qiang added. “Originally, Coach Haichang assigned us all the task of watching last season’s college league, but only a small number of us actually did it.”

"After all, the college league is only a C-level league. The players who can sign with clubs are all skilled, especially the A-level and B-level players who have league achievements. Naturally, they look down on the college league. I guess they haven't even watched it."

Shen Xing nodded knowingly: "It's better if we don't know each other. Like you said, we can keep a low profile for a while."

Shi Jingming said in a low voice, "If they find out that you've qualified directly for the youth training competition, wouldn't they be furious?"

Xiao Qiang glanced at the time, stood up and said, "I'll take you to the conference room. It's almost time; the morning training should be over soon."

After Xiaoqiang and his group left, Owen and his gang started talking loudly.

"Those girls aren't here to sign contracts either, are they?"

"How could that be? Our club doesn't have a women's team. It must have been those two guys who signed."

"I was even a little excited, thinking that our club finally has girls."

"Me too, you know what, they're all pretty."

These people were only talking about Bai Lianghe, Mu Jin, and Yu Qian, and clearly had no recollection of Shen Xing.

After waiting for another half hour in the conference room, Coach Haichang finally arrived in a hurry.

Upon opening the door, he was surprised to see all five members of Shen Xing's team: "Oh? They're all here?"

Just as Shen Xing and the others were about to get up, Coach Haichang quickly gestured for them to stay still: "Let's talk while we're sitting down."

"Coach, we've made up our minds. The four of us have decided to sign," Shen Xing said.

The Haichang coach looked at Shi Jingming, smiled, and asked, "What about you? Not signing?"

Shi Jingming quickly shook his head: "I won't sign a coach. You should be able to see my skills. With them, I can only win a college league championship. Signing with a club is out of the question."

The Haichang coach didn't say much, but still pulled out yesterday's contract: "Then I won't repeat the contract contents. Since you've already thought it through, then sign it here?"

The group exchanged glances, and seeing the look in each other's eyes, they all made their final decision.

Shen Xing, Bai Lianghe, Mu Jin, and Yu Qian signed their names on the contract in turn.

After confirming everything was correct, Coach Haichang stood up with a smile and said to the group, "Welcome to the 'Longcheng B-Star' team!"

After signing the contract, the group felt even more relaxed, because once they had signed, there was no turning back.

"Have you visited the club?" Coach Haichang asked.

The group nodded.

"However, since you are students, the club is relatively lenient with students. You can continue to train at your original training base."

"The athletes at the training base must train for 56 hours a week. The requirement for you is 35 hours. Can you do that?"

Shen Xing agreed without hesitation: "No problem, coach. This is about the same length of our weekly training sessions as before."

Bai Lianghe followed up, "Coach, we're missing a mid-laner. When can you arrange a new teammate for us?"

This is the most practical problem: we need enough manpower before we can start training.

"You don't need to worry about that. I watched all your matches live and I know your team quite well. I will definitely arrange the most suitable mid-lane player for you."

"Coach, are you choosing from the A-level players?" Mu Jin blurted out subconsciously.

Coach Haichang was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle. He nodded and said, "It seems Xiaoqiang has already given you a detailed introduction. Don't worry, he's definitely an A-level player."

With Coach Haichang's words, the group finally felt relieved.

The Haichang coach had originally invited them to try the club's cafeteria today, but Shen Xing and the others declined.

Everyone got into Shen Xing's car and returned to the city, still talking enthusiastically about the club's affairs.

"Let's train at the club during our holidays from now on. I'm quite curious about this place," Bai Lianghe said.

Shen Xing nodded and said, "Sure, anyway, Coach Haichang said that we are currently the most free team in the club. As long as we focus on preparing for the youth training competition, he won't restrict us in any other way."

Mu Jin said with some anticipation, "I wonder what kind of mid-lane teammate Coach Haichang will match us with."
