Bai Qingqing even saw Muir’s “identity card”. It stated that he was an Uyghur from Xinjiang. The identity card was in two languages, with two rows of information. It looked real.
Bai Qingqing didn’t dare to show any doubt, pretending that she didn’t know that Muir had a false identity. She then put his identity card into her backpack.
The villa should have just been cleaned up, being spotlessly clean. A few traces in the corners of the place being given a wipe by a wet cloth could even be seen. The fridge was filled with drinks, and Bai Qingqing was holding a bottle of cooled orange juice, drinking it.
Although it was the summer and drinking something cold should be the most comfortable, the plants here were too lush and added a hint of coolness. Bai Qingqing felt a little cold while drinking the cold drink.
Those people left after the documents were taken care of. Only Liu Yi, the coach, stayed around.
Muir looked at him. The intention of chasing him away in his gaze was very clear.
Liu Yi let out an awkward cough. He took out a few bank cards from his briefcase and said, “I know that you can’t be bothered to meet us, so I’ve prepared your cash reward in advance. This is the cash reward given by the country. It’s a total of 9 million. This is the provincial cash reward, 3.8 million. This is the city reward, 650,000.”
“Pfft!” Bai Qingqing spurted out a mouthful of drink.
Muir felt very impatient from hearing this. He waited for Liu Yi to finish speaking and quickly patted Bai Qingqing’s back when he saw her coughing.
“Drink slowly.” Muir took away her orange juice as he said this, frowning, and said, “This drink is too cold. I’ll help you to warm it up.”
The corner of Liu Yi’s eyes twitched, thinking that this should be the normal reaction. If Bai Qingqing wasn’t around, he would start to doubt if this huge prize reward was really worth it.
Bai Qingqing coughed stiffly, saying, “I’m fine.”
She took a look at Liu Yi and saw that there was still one more card in his hand. She had already accepted reality and didn’t show too great a reaction from this. She thought to herself that it was probably another cash reward.
Liu Yi smiled and said, “Muir is actually losing out. If it was a slightly richer province, the cash reward would be a lot higher than what the country can give. However, to prevent doubts from all over the world, we can only arrange as such. To make things up for Muir, the country has issued another cash reward. 600,000 per gold medal. There’s a total of 10.8 million in this card.”
Having just stopped coughing, Bai Qingqing immediately coughed a few more times, feeling that she would never be able to calm down.
Muir threw him an angry glance. Liu Yi let out a helpless sigh and said, “The reason the government is treating you so well is, firstly, because you’ve brought honor to the country. Secondly, the government is also hoping that you’ll be able to take part in the next Olympics. We hope that you can think about it seriously. As long as you continue to take part in the competition, the compensation given to you when you retire in the future won’t be little.”
“You can leave now,” Muir said coldly.
Liu Yi let out another sigh and handed him the card. He then took a look at Bai Qingqing and said, “Do you need me to help you prepare a supplementary card? It’ll be convenient for… Qingqing’s use.”
Muir said without giving it any thought, “No need. That’s too troublesome.”
Liu Yi was stunned. He thought that Muir viewed the girl so preciously that he treated her as his family, and thus shouldn’t reject the idea of a supplementary card. He didn’t expect him to reject without any hesitation.
However, Muir immediately handed all the cards to Bai Qingqing. She didn’t notice Liu Yi’s expression and took them naturally, putting them into her bag.
The current Muir knew nothing. Bai Qingqing decided to help him keep such valuable items.
Liu Yi was stunned again, his expression cracking. He remained in a daze for a few seconds before returning to his senses. “Erm, the pin is your birthday. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave first.”
Muir replied with an “En”.
