Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 134 - 132 "Uncle"-Level Men

Shangguan Yao made a between-the-legs dribble followed by a move to get past his opponent, zipping by so swiftly that the girls in the audience couldn’t help but let out uncontrollable shrieks:

"So handsome—"

"Ahhh, Young Master Yao—"

The shrieking girls happened to be right beside Jiayi, their piercing screams almost bursting her eardrums.

With a wry smile, she thought to herself that seeing a dozen people chasing after a ball and hopping around like monkeys didn’t seem all that impressive.

She might as well have gone back to sleep.

Just then, Su Yan nudged her with her elbow, "Look quick."

Jiayi followed her gaze, searching through the tall figures on the court.

Finally, it settled.

Huo Zhenyang seemed to be taking it easy, employing evasive tactics, slowly moving around the periphery with an air of self-contentment, his eyes fixed on the ball in Shangguan Yao’s hands. At times, he would glance leisurely over his shoulder at a certain someone in the crowd, as if making sure she saw everything cleary.

A high and mighty Boss, how could he be playing basketball?

Especially since Shangguan Yao’s team was from the athletics department!

Jiayi’s heart hung in suspense; if they lost it was one thing, but could his poor old back handle it?!

All the others were fresh-faced youths, yet there he was—a ’middle-aged uncle’!

Huo Zhenyang, regarded as an ’uncle’ by someone off the court, suddenly adjusted his handsome shoulders, his biceps tensing instantly, as he watched Shangguan Yao approaching the defensive line. His gaze turned sharp and piercing!

Jiayi’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of that look.

That was a look of confidence, of predatory focus.

In a flash, Huo Zhenyang surged forward, using his natural height advantage to block Shangguan Yao’s path!

With a feint, he snatched the ball and, before the students and teachers could fully grasp what happened, he had already dribbled to the opponent’s basket, breaking through two layers of defense, and leaped high, like a tiger bursting out of its cage, soaring through the air with the ball!

In an instant, the ball was ferociously dunked into the hoop!

The motion was splendidly explosive, airy and unpredictable!

The crowd was silent for half a second, then suddenly erupted in a flurry of applause and gasps!

Shangguan Yao was still in shock, it took him a moment to realize, damn, he was outplayed before he could even react!

"Damn ghosts!" Shangguan Yao didn’t think he was inferior to Huo Zhenyang, but he hadn’t expected him to be so formidable, having let his guard down, he kicked a basketball away in frustration, grinding his teeth, and left the court frowning.

"Young Master Yao!" Ye Shiman saw Shangguan Yao getting angry, so she grabbed her rabies vaccine and chased after him.

At this moment, all eyes were on Huo Zhenyang on the court.

The man’s eyes held a barely visible smile as he turned, casting a remote glance at that little figure in the crowd, subtly shrugging his shoulders.

Did these boys, who were practically fresh out of the nursery, really think they could get the better of him?

Just letting this little thing see who’s truly the strongest.

Lin Zixun was also there, seeing Jiayi’s dumbfounded expression, he leaned over with a mysterious smile, "The Boss and American professional basketball players are old friends, you know. Back when he was abroad, they often played friendly matches together. Even playing a few more games, he’d still have plenty of stamina."

How could Jiayi not know about his stamina?

No wonder he was so fierce and invincible on CHUANG; after wrestling with her once, she couldn’t leave the bed for a whole day, and walked with wobbly legs for two!

So in her eyes, this ’uncle’-level man had actually played professional basketball!

"Xiaoyi, come help distribute water." Su Yan, as the class president, was leading the preparation to hand out water to the players on the court, handing a bottle to Jiayi.

Jiayi collected her thoughts and followed Su Yan and a few other girls onto the court to distribute water.

A shadow fell over her.

When she looked up, Huo Zhenyang was already standing in front of her, extending his long arm.

She grew nervous and hurriedly pushed the ice water in her arms into his hand, but he took the opportunity to lean in, bending down, and spoke in a low voice,

"How about it? My skills and ability, whether on the court or in bed, should satisfy you, right?"

The girl blushed instantly at his words, her face turning as red as a boiled egg, and she quickly turned and walked away.

They had arrived in the bustling H City, where the streets were filled with traffic and neon lights glowed brightly.

The Dongting Grand Banquet Hotel was a venue reserved for gatherings of the northern elite and tycoons.

One couldn’t simply enter with money alone—status and identity were the most important tickets in.

Tonight, the top-floor restaurant had been reserved in advance, offering a quiet ambiance.

In the Louvre-like European banquet hall, illuminated by crystal chandeliers, the interior shone brilliantly.

The carved long dining table was already prepared with fine wines and an assortment of gourmet dishes, and the servers stood around with silver trays, ready to serve at any moment, each courteous and as professional as top-notch English butlers.

The setup of the banquet hall at this moment highlighted the extraordinary identities of the host and guests of this evening’s dinner.

In front of the dining table, a man in a handmade black suit appeared contemplative, his dark eyes hiding his thoughts well, holding a Brazilian cigar in hand.

Above the cigar, the smoke curled and lingered for a long time. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Having left behind the elegant charm of a professor as he stepped out of Jinhua University, the man’s demeanor had suddenly turned cold and harsh, transforming back into the falcon and tiger of the business empire.

The bronze door with its golden frame opened, and a server at the entrance said respectfully, "Mr. Huo, Director Shangguan and Young Master Shangguan have arrived."

Lin Zixun spoke on behalf of the Boss, "Please invite Director Shangguan and Young Master Shangguan in."

Outside the door, Shangguan Xiong, hearing the server’s invitation, turned his head and said, "Xiaoyao, come in with me. Don’t forget, this is the CEO of Huo Group. Make sure you don’t speak out of turn later, do you hear me?"

For Shangguan Xiong, meeting with Huo Zhenyang today was indeed a cause for celebration.

This CEO of the Huo Group, who controlled half of the commercial territory in the southern part of the country, was someone Shangguan Xiong had wanted to partner with for a long time, but he had never had the chance.

In recent years, Shangguan Xiong had ambitions to build a chain of Shangguan-branded entertainment complexes across the country, with G City in the south as a key hub, and then to spread across the entire southern region.

However, if one were to start a business in the south, it was necessary to pay respects to the local business titan.

Shangguan Xiong sent people to convey his intentions to Huo Zhenyang, hoping to collaborate with the Huo Group in developing entertainment complexes and sharing the profits, but Huo Zhenyang had never acquiesced.

As a result, the Shangguan Family’s plans for entertainment complexes in the south were delayed, and the land they had purchased in G City had not yet been developed.

Having received a call from Lin Zixun yesterday, Shangguan Xiong was surprised to learn that Huo Zhenyang had invited him to a casual gathering at Dongting Grand Banquet Hotel, an invitation that filled him with joy, which he readily accepted.

During the call, Lin Zixun also invited Shangguan Yao, mentioning that Shangguan Xiong could bring his son along.

Shangguan Yao, being the eldest son and grandson of the Shangguan Family, was perceived by Shangguan Xiong as a mere formality by Mr. Huo, so he thought nothing of it and immediately called his son to come back and join him today.

Shangguan Yao lounged lazily on a sofa in the lobby, legs crossed, "Daddy, why did you ask me to come if you’re just going to talk business? You even had me called back from school—how tiring. I have final exams coming up soon, and I was planning to review tonight."
