Chapter 62

"Who wants to chat with you? Get out, get out, get out! Didn't you hear me?" Ma Junren shouted at Jia Hongjian with extreme impatience. "It's fine, you two can go out first. I know what I'm doing, trust me, it's all good." Jia Hongjian used a line stolen from a future advertisement by Andy Lau to comfort his parents. After Jia Gang and Su Ping left, before Jia Hongjian could say anything, Ma Junren started cursing and urging again, "Do you not understand human language? Didn't you hear me tell you to leave? I won't agree to you staying here, get out, get out, get out! Hurry up!"

Jia Hongjian sat on a stool and quietly looked at Ma Junren for a few seconds, then shook his head, his face showing confusion but no anger: "Why do you always have to speak so harshly? This will push people who want to help you to the enemy side, you know?"

"Stop being mysterious, get out, get out! Don't you understand?" Ma Junren was almost about to swear. "Do as you please, as long as you're not afraid of me telling the CCTV crew outside about you giving the athletes EPO..." Jia Hongjian shrugged, stood up, and walked towards the door.

Just as he reached the door, Ma Junren, shocked by his words, looked serious, "Wait, what did you say? Say it again!"

"Do you want me to shout it out in front of the camera crew? I'm more than happy to, if you don't mind, I'll shout it out?" Jia Hongjian shrugged, speaking in a light and teasing tone, as if he were teasing a girl from his class.

"Then come in and say it, but I warn you, you're spreading rumors, do you understand! What you said just now is malicious slander from others! I don't want the media to disrupt my team's training, don't think I'm guilty!" Ma Junren leaned close to Jia Hongjian, lowering his voice and speaking fiercely, as if this would make him seem more righteous.

Jia Hongjian shrugged indifferently. He was a shrewd person, and he could see through Ma Junren's outward bravado. He waved to Yuan Yang, who was staring at him, and when Yuan Yang quickly walked over, he whispered a few words in his ear. Then he called over Bai Yansong and whispered a few more words. After doing all this, he slowly sauntered into Ma Junren's dormitory.

"What did you say to them?" Ma Junren asked, his face full of tension. Jia Hongjian, hearing this, frowned and asked in a difficult tone, "Which question do you want to ask? I'm a bit slow, my brain can only think about one thing at a time, so why don't you think about which question you want to ask?"

At this moment, the veins on Ma Junren's temples were bulging! But the situation was against him, so after taking a few deep breaths, he tried to suppress his anger, "Who told you the rumor about us using EPO?"

Ha! Seeing Ma Junren's frustrated look, Jia Hongjian was inwardly laughing coldly. Wasn't this guy acting all tough just a moment ago? Wasn't he cold at first, then suddenly enthusiastic when he saw money, and then turned cold again when he realized it wasn't cash? Wasn't he being played by Jia Hongjian's deliberately casual attitude? If he had the guts, he could be even more arrogant!

"Do you really think I'm a kid, and you can get me to spill the beans so easily? Ha... Coach Ma, you're so funny." Jia Hongjian laughed, "But you don't really think no one knows about you giving the athletes EPO, do you? Tsk! Your athletes often catch colds and have low fevers. Others might not understand why, but I can see it. It's a side effect of using EPO too much. Some foreign coaches, when they see their athletes with colds and low fevers after using EPO, give them cold medicine with pseudoephedrine. If it shows up in a urine test, they can say it was from the cold medicine, so they won't be banned for life, just for a year, right?"

"You, you, you stop spreading lies! Our team has never used EPO! Stop spreading rumors!" Coach Ma pointed at Jia Hongjian, his body trembling slightly.

"Alright, alright, look at you getting so worked up. Come, sit down and calm down. I didn't say I was going to shout it to the world. Why are you so worked up? I'm willing to talk to you in the room, which means I want to cooperate, right? I have no reason to ruin your future, right? It wouldn't benefit me..."

"Cooperate? How?"

"Cooperate? You mean the contract for ten million in installments from your family?" Ma Junren asked, but then he seemed to realize something. "Ten million contract from my family?" Jia Hongjian was momentarily stunned, then he laughed, "What ten million contract? You must be mistaken, it's a one million contract!" This Jia Hongjian was too devious! In just a short time, he had reduced the contract amount to one-tenth of the original, even less than the 2 million he had mentioned earlier!

"One million? You give me one million for the formula?" Ma Junren couldn't believe his ears. "Yes! You treated me so badly, how could I not deduct some money?" Jia Hongjian said matter-of-factly, "Besides, we both know the truth. Do you really think your lousy formula is worth ten million? You set that price because you didn't want anyone to buy it, right?"

"What truth! I've never used EPO! I'm telling you, it's either ten million or no deal!" Ma Junren suddenly became arrogant again, whether he really hadn't used EPO or was just putting on a show.

"Ha ha ha, that's why I say Coach Ma is so funny." Jia Hongjian laughed loudly, "Have you ever thought that I could take your formula without spending a cent? Or that I could just find any formula and say you sold it to me, and you wouldn't dare deny it? Coach Ma, I'm actually being nice by offering you one million. This one million is because you cheated the foreigners, even though the means weren't honorable, you still brought glory to the Chinese and tricked the foreigners. As General Patton of the United States said, even if he's a bastard, he's our bastard..."

"I'm telling you again, I, Ma Junren, absolutely did not use EPO, absolutely did not use performance-enhancing drugs!" Ma Junren stood up, speaking fiercely.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Jia Hongjian clapped vigorously, "Well said! Coach Ma, your acting is top-notch! Think about it, if I took the one million I was going to give you and distributed it to your female athletes, how many would come forward to report you?" Jia Hongjian wasn't a naive newcomer; he wouldn't be stumped by such stubbornness.

"Bullshit! They wouldn't frame me!" Ma Junren's tone was still defiant, but his confidence was waning. It seemed he wasn't entirely confident in this area. Since the other side had shown a weakness, as the villain, Jia Hongjian had to take advantage of it. "You're too modest! Think about it, all the bonuses for those girls, unless the leaders gave them directly, you kept them in your account under the pretense of helping them save, right? When did you ever give them their money? What about that Liu girl who broke with you and went solo this year, did you give her a cent? Do you often beat and scold them when you're in a bad mood, using them as your punching bag? And you don't even follow scientific training methods, just making them do excessive training, running three ten-thousand meters a day, right?"

Damn! Jia Hongjian, who had read the detailed documentary literature "The Secrets of the Ma Family Army" in the future, knew all about the secrets of the Ma Family Army. He even remembered the tragic fates of the female athletes who had broken with Ma Junren! Some female athletes, due to long-term closed training, had no social connections or job skills and ended up working in mines after retiring! Some, due to excessive training, had deformed toes! All their bonuses were in Ma Junren's account, and they couldn't get a cent when they left the team! Even Wang Junxia, now known as the "Oriental Divine Deer" by the media, wrote in her diary every day, "I will defeat this demon, I will defeat him!"

With such a team maintained by brutal means, if Jia Hongjian offered a reward, would he be afraid that no one would come forward to report and provide evidence? "Coach Ma, what do you think? Oh, I suddenly realized, we don't need to give them one million, maybe just thirty or forty thousand each, and they would come to help me? No, no! They would probably even offer to pay me to help me deal with you!"

Ma Junren's face turned pale, completely drained of blood. He knew his female athletes hated him, which was why he often used them as his punching bag, but now, this could really cause problems... "No! Even if some of them do, the higher-ups will protect me!" Ma Junren suddenly clung to a lifeline, laughing loudly.

"What about the foreign media? Don't forget that AFP, AP, Bloomberg, and BBC all have bureaus in Beijing. If this becomes a big deal abroad, will the country still protect you? They would probably deal with you first and use it as a typical case of the Chinese sports department's strict handling of doping, right?" Tsk! Who could outsmart Jia Hongjian? Jia Hongjian, who looked like a 15-year-old boy, was well-versed in how government departments worked! How to make the government handle things according to his wishes was a science!

"Knock, knock, knock" At this moment, there was a knock at the dormitory door. Jia Hongjian walked to the door and opened it, seeing Yuan Yang. He took two freshly printed contracts from Yuan Yang and flipped through them, confirming that Yuan Yang had changed the amount from 2 million to 1 million as he had instructed.

Holding the two contracts, he slowly walked to Ma Junren, "Come on, sign the contract. This way, you still get one million, right? And think about it, there's nothing else I can extort from you, and I won't bother you for the rest of my life, right? Sign the contract, put your mind at ease, come on~"
