Chapter 17

Lisa fell into a deep sleep after going back to bed. When she woke up again, she discovered that Chaeyoung has been up for some time. The smell of soy milk and youtiao wafted through the room.

"Why are you up so early?" Sprawled across her bed, Lisa peered at Chaeyoung.

"I'm in a great mood!" Chaeyoung raised her arm and passed a bag of youtiao to her. "Breakfast?"

Lisa took one from the bag and immediately took a bite. Without chewing it first, she asked Chaeyoung, "What made you so happy?"

"Earlier in the morning, that girl name Kim Yerim WeChat transferred me 50 yuan. She even said that she wants to reserve future chances to deliver Jungkook's breakfast. This is way too entertaining".

Lisa was a little surprised. "Jungkook believed it? He didn't say anything?"

"Nope"

"Hmm, looks like he is not on guard. We can continue to auction opportunities to deliver him breakfast then. We won't stop till Jungkook yells us to".

....

Lisa did not have class that afternoon. Chaeyoung wanted to work during this free period and was unable to hang out with her. Bored, Lisa followed her to the Ice Rink.

She needed to make the most of her free ice skating perk. After all, this was a benefit that she "sold" herself for.

Being an ice rink crew member was physically demanding work that required one to practically spend all time one ice. For those like Park Chaeyoung who did not know how to skate, they would first be trained on how to do so. However after taking one look at how frail and fragile Chaeyoung was, the manager assigned her to look after the equipment rental instead.

Chaeyoung was puzzled and asked Lisa, "Say, why do you think I got selected when I'm obviously not the best person for this job? Wasn't there supposed to be intense competition over it?"

She and Jimin were still in the dark that they were selected due to their friendship with Lisa.

Lisa threw out her best guess. "Maybe it's because you're pretty".

Chaeyoung believed her.

The ice rink they were at was located in the east wing of the indoor ice stadium. RCU's indoor ice stadium was separated into two wings. The east wing held the main with biggest ice rink. It could seat more than 1,000 spectators and was capable of hosting competitions. On day without any special events, the ice rink was open to public with the earnings used to maintain its daily operations. It was said that in the past, the RCU Ice Stadium was consecutively in the red. However, ever since ice stadium's management was taken over by Bright club, it's financial reports had drastically improved.

RCU's partnership with Bright club did not stop here.

RCU's Ice sports teams consisted of the short track speed skating team, the figure skating team and the ice hokey team. The ice hockey team was the last to be establishment. Without solid achievements, funding was tight. To make things worse, ice hockey was a sport that required massive funds to sustain... Gradually, the ice hockey team had difficulties operating and fell into shambles.

RCU could only resort to the unorthodox method of sustaining the ice hockey team with a school-business hybrid operational model.

This partnership was in the words for over a year. Originally, both parties haggled extensively over the potential benefits and was unable to come to a consensus. The partnership almost collapsed.

It was the start of a few academic year last September that a new first year student name Jungkook reported at Rain City United University.

Then, as an ordinary student, he ran over the ice hockey team and raised a ruckus. He said that he wished to join the ice hockey team, and that he was fully capable of carrying them.
