Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 1060 - 1059: Brothers Turned Enemies

Wu Da is not a businessman, but Jin Jiufu is. When he initially invested in Wu Da's school, it wasn't really out of any deep brotherly affection, and certainly not for charity. He treated it as a business venture, to put it plainly, he wanted to make money by opening a football school.

Wu Da's actions completely went against Jin Jiufu's original intentions.

After Wu Da made the school's reputation well-known, Jin Jiufu couldn't hold back anymore. Driven by the goal of making money, Jin Jiufu only wanted to attract the children of wealthy families. These rich people, foolish and with lots of money, would bring huge profits to the school.

Since the purpose was to make money, having money was enough. Whether these wealthy children had talent or were worth cultivating was completely unimportant.

This was the opposite of Wu Da's philosophy, and their conflicts inevitably erupted.

The two had a big argument.

"What are you saying, you want to abolish the student selection system?" Wu Da exclaimed in astonishment.

On this day, Jin Jiufu came to the school and announced that he wanted to abolish the student selection system that Wu Da had created, something Wu Da found hard to accept.

"That's right, Ah-Da, I'm not being critical, but your way just doesn't work. It's undeniable that you cultivated a lot of talents in the early stages, which boosted the school's reputation. That's commendable, and it's why I've tolerated you for so long. But look at the books, we've been burning money these past few years. I haven't earned a penny; I'm constantly losing money on your behalf. I'm not a charity organization, and I don't have endless money to burn, so change is urgently needed. Now that the school's name is out there, many people want to come, especially the kids of wealthy families. That's a lot of money lying around, let them in, and we can raise the tuition a bit. We can quickly recoup the losses of the past few years," Jin Jiufu said.

Wu Da said, "But the initial purpose of opening this school was to train excellent talents. I never said we wouldn't admit the children of rich families, as long as they are worth cultivating!"

Jin Jiufu said, "You see, that's your problem. Only those whom you think are worth cultivating can come in. With that checkpoint, you've turned away many rich people and admitted many dirt-poor ones. That's not sustainable. Listen to me, it doesn't matter if they're worth cultivating. Frankly speaking, their future is none of your business, nor is it mine. You're just a principal, and I'm an investor. I just need to make money."

Wu Da looked at Jin Jiufu with surprise: "I really can't believe these words came out of the mouth of a national team player. Is that even human talk? Without supplying excellent talent, how could the national team develop? What I'm doing is supplying talent to the national team, contributing to Huaxia football! As a member of the national team, you have that responsibility, that mission!"

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing these words, Jin Jiufu burst into laughter, bending over.

Wu Da shouted, "What's so funny?"

Jin Jiufu said, "I laugh because you're too naive. Supplying talent to the national team, contributing to Huaxia football, who do you think you are? You're just a school principal. Do you see yourself as the head of the football association? You crack me up! Don't forget, this school is mine. Ultimately, you're working for me. The decision-making power lies with me; you just need to listen to me!"

Wu Da said, "Jin Jiufu, is making money really that important to you? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?"

Jin Jiufu chuckled, "Did you just realize this today?"

Wu Da gave a bitter smile, "Yes, I was wrong. I should have seen through you early on. Back then, you always said you wanted to be famous, buy a mansion and fancy cars, trade women like clothes. That was your ideal. I thought you were joking, but that's exactly who you are. You have no social responsibility whatsoever. You don't deserve to be a Huaxia player! You're just a hedonistic scoundrel! I really feel ashamed for you!"

Jin Jiufu said, "Does saying all this help? The reality is, I'm a national team player, and you're not!"

Wu Da gritted his teeth and said, "If it wasn't for that one time back then..."

Jin Jiufu chuckled, "You finally said it, who's to blame?"

Wu Da was furious, rushing forward, grabbing Jin Jiufu by the collar, and yelled, "Jin Jiufu, do you have a conscience saying that? I took that beating for you back then!"

Jin Jiufu pushed Wu Da away with one hand.

Wu Da staggered and fell to the ground.

Jin Jiufu stood up, his emotions also escalating, "Don't give me that crap, as if I harmed you. What do you mean by taking the beating for me? You were just unlucky, not my problem! Don't forget, I got beaten up back then too!"

Wu Da lay on the ground, unable to get up for a moment, his eyes reddened, "Little Jin, I beg you. This school is my only support now. I've lost everything and finally managed to pull myself together. Don't take away my last hope!"

Jin Jiufu said, "I just don't understand. Me wanting to make money, what kind of conflict does it have with you being the principal? Just recruit the students and teach. I'm not stopping you from being the principal. Why do you care so much? It's none of your business about the students' future or Huaxia football!"

Wu Da shook his head and said, "It's not like that. If we do it your way, then the original intention of opening this school has changed; it loses its meaning. One can't just think about making money; they must take on responsibility and mission. Little Jin, I know these past few years have cost you a lot of money, but think about it. If it weren't for me getting injured and retiring, leaving an opening, would you have gotten into the national team back then? Everything you have today is what I lost!"

Wu Da saying this further infuriated Jin Jiufu.

"What the hell! You make it sound like I took everything from you. I got into the national team through my own skill! My achievements in the AFC Asian Cup back then, I also played on my own. It has nothing to do with you. You're just a pitiful cripple! If it weren't for me funding the school, you'd just be a worthless bum at home. Stop slapping gold on your own face! The person you should be most grateful to is me!" Jin Jiufu shouted.

Cripple, pitiful, worthless...

These words, like sharp knives, stabbed into Wu Da's heart, especially since they came from the mouth of a good brother, making the damage exponentially greater. Wu Da's heart bled.

"So in your eyes, I'm just a crippled worthless person, and you're doing me a favor." Wu Da gave a bitter smile.

Jin Jiufu said, "Isn't that so! Wu Da, I'll ask you once again, will you listen to me or not? If you won't, then get the hell out!"

Wu Da, of course, wouldn't compromise. Thus, he was swept out by Jin Jiufu, losing everything once again, and from then on, they became enemies, with their past brotherhood vanishing into thin air.

Hearing this, Lin Fan and Wei Yue'er exchanged a glance, both sighing, not knowing what to say for a moment.
