Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1461 - 1435: The Match Begins
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Seeing Ye Chen already at the ping-pong table, Liu Tingting seemed to have a thought.
She asked her friend, "Yingying, Brother Ye Chen should be able to play table tennis, right."
Because Ye Chen’s confident expression made her firmly believe in her idea.
"I don’t know either, but I haven’t heard he can play it before," Xie Yingying said, furrowing her brow.
Liu Tingting said anxiously, "Then why don’t you hurry and stop him? It looks like Brother Ye Chen is definitely going to lose."
Xie Yingying shook her head and smiled at her friend, "I believe in Brother Ye Chen, Tingting, don’t worry. He definitely won’t let us down."
Though Xie Yingying said this, she wasn’t entirely confident inside.
Even if Ye Chen can play table tennis, the opponent is professional, and the difference between the two is worlds apart.
Whatever Liu Tingting said next was stopped by Xie Yingying.
"Tingting, what we need to do now is not think about anything and just cheer for Brother Ye Chen," Xie Yingying said with a smile.
Listening to the two girls’ conversation, Liu Jun looked at Xie Yingying and said, "Yingying, you must keep your eyes wide open to see how I defeat him."
"Liu Jun, can you act like a man? If you want to play, hurry up; I have no time to waste here with you," Ye Chen said, showing impatience.
Being called "unlike a man" by Ye Chen once again, Liu Jun felt somewhat angry.
"Kid, you’ve brought this death upon yourself; don’t blame me," Liu Jun said, striding over to the ping-pong table and pointing at Ye Chen.
Then he spoke again, "Since that’s the case, I don’t want to waste time with you either. We’ll decide the winner with just one round."
"Fine, stop babbling," Ye Chen nodded and said.
He really couldn’t stand people like Liu Jun, no wonder Xie Yingying doesn’t like him.
Imagine such a man; any girl wouldn’t like him.
No one expected Ye Chen to agree to a one-round decision match; it’s known that such a match has no suspense whatsoever.
"I serve first; you don’t have any objections, right?" Liu Jun asked Ye Chen.
"No, hurry up, stop dawdling," Ye Chen said impatiently.
He really didn’t understand how Liu Jun grew to be like this, a boy dawdling around.
Xie Yingying whispered, "So cheeky."
Of course, her voice was very small, only her friend next to her could hear it clearly.
Liu Tingting also nodded in agreement.
The match started, Liu Jun tossed the ball almost vertically upward, and when it fell, he quickly hit it with his paddle.
You could tell from each of his movements that he was indeed a professional.
The ball Liu Jun hit was incredibly fast, and the average person simply couldn’t see it clearly.
"Kid, let’s see how you receive this ball," Liu Jun said, showing a smug expression as he looked at Ye Chen.
The ball, upon being hit, shot forward at high speed, spinning like an arrow released from a bowstring.
At that moment, Ye Chen stood at the table without making any move to receive the ball.
Seeing Ye Chen’s calm expression, Liu Jun thought he was scared.
Ordinary people simply couldn’t catch such a fast ball.
When the ball was less than ten centimeters from Ye Chen, he still stood there dazed without any movement.
"I reckon this kid is scared senseless," Liu Jun said with a smug smile.
If Ye Chen doesn’t move soon, he would have no chance.
"Playing against someone like him is really boring; he’s just a fool," Liu Jun thought to himself as he looked at his opponent.
Suddenly, Ye Chen moved, swinging his paddle and unexpectedly hitting the ball.
Because Liu Jun had been distracted, he hadn’t noticed the ball coming at him.
"Brother Jun, the ball’s coming," advised a subordinate kindly.
By the time Liu Jun reacted, it was too late.
Upon seeing the ball drop to the ground, Liu Jun looked surprised.
"Impossible."
"It’s too unscientific."
"How did he do it with such fast ball speed?"
At that moment, Liu Jun’s mind was filled with question marks.
Not catching this ball had already become a reality for Liu Jun, and he couldn’t make up for it.
"The feeling of not catching the ball, not bad, right?" Ye Chen said with a smile as he looked at Liu Jun.
"Not bad my ass," Liu Jun cursed at this moment.
Then he looked at Ye Chen angrily and said, "Stop pretending with me here, I haven’t gone all out yet. Just wait!"
"Oh, really? I’m waiting, make sure you don’t hold back," Ye Chen still said with a smile.
Seeing Liu Jun angered by him, he found it amusing.
Since the opponent was so easily angered, Ye Chen already had an idea to defeat him mentally.
Liu Jun served the second ball.
Before serving, Ye Chen curled his finger at his opponent and said, "Bring it on."
Liu Jun didn’t expect Ye Chen to be so arrogant.
It’s known that ping-pong is his forte, yet he was provoked by the opponent.
"You’re looking for death, kid."
Liu Jun tossed the ball upward again and swung his paddle, hitting the ball fiercely.
This time he dared not get distracted, staring intently at the ball.
The ball’s speed was evidently faster than the previous time.
Similarly, like last time, Ye Chen initially didn’t move, only swinging his paddle when the ball was very close.
"Still too slow."
"Can’t you be faster?"
"Playing at this pace makes me sleepy."
Ye Chen’s words successfully irritated Liu Jun again.
Though he was angry, he still focused on the ball flying toward him.
Seeing the ball coming over, Liu Jun swung his paddle and hit it again.
This time, the two played a few rounds until the ball fell to the ground.
"You lost another ball," Ye Chen said with a smile as he looked at Liu Jun.
His words were like a reminder to Liu Jun that he was no match for him.
"This... this... how is this possible?" Liu Jun stammered.
Due to the shock, he couldn’t even utter a complete sentence.
"Alright, now it’s my turn to serve. Make sure to watch closely," Ye Chen said, holding the ball.
Ye Chen tossed the ball up just like Liu Jun did earlier, hitting the ball with his paddle, mimicking Liu Jun’s previous actions perfectly.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked surprised, knowing only professional athletes could pull off such a move.
Liu Jun also looked at Ye Chen with a surprised expression; he didn’t expect the opponent to perform such a move.
"What’s going on here?" Liu Jun murmured to himself.
"Don’t get distracted, hurry and receive the ball," Ye Chen said with a smile, looking at Liu Jun.
He was doing this not to remind Liu Jun, but to stimulate his opponent again.
