"I'm sorry, Coach."
Wei Shen didn't dare to meet Tang Qian's eyes. "I just wanted an answer."
He was the one who had questioned the leadership. Although he merely sought a reason, hearing Tang Qian being scolded so harshly—the sounds clearly leaking from the unshielded office door—made him increasingly embarrassed and remorseful.
He had never actually intended to target the coach.
He knew some things weren't for the coach to decide.
"I know."
Unexpectedly, Tang Qian's expression was calm. When she looked at him, there was no blame in her tone. "I understand you. Chen Shaoning's case before was one thing; then Wen Jiang was parachuted in, and I didn't consult your opinion then either. I know you've been waiting for this position for a long time."
Wei Shen was a substitute player, filling in where needed. If Chen Shaoning hadn't come, Wei Shen would likely have been promoted.
But now that Chen Shaoning was kicked out, a parachuted recruit had arrived instead.
