Jiang Tian relayed what the receptionist had said to Ling Qingyue verbatim.

Ling Qingyue stood up instantly as if her feet were on fire: "What pretty girl? I don't know any pretty girl at all!"

He was pursuing Jiang Tian when this person suddenly contacted him, making him wonder if someone was deliberately trying to trip him up!

Jiang Tian looked at him indifferently: "Are you sure you don't know him? Then I'll have the receptionist kick that person out."

"Get her out of here! Get her out of here right now! I don't even know her, I can't let her ruin my reputation!"

Ling Qingyue stated that she would not take the blame.

Jiang Tian didn't speak, but said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Manager Ling doesn't know her, please ask her to leave."

However, Jiang Tian raised her head again: "That person said his name is Xiao Si, you should know him."

Ling Qingyue's expression changed upon hearing this name.

"...You, you can let him in."

Five minutes later, a thin girl with dyed green hair entered the office.

The moment he entered the room, Ling Qingyue rushed up and ripped off his wig.

"Have you lost your mind? Coming to me dressed in women's clothing, don't you know that will cause misunderstandings?"

Xiao Si is a player in Ling Qingyue's team. Because of his delicate appearance, fans always ask him to wear women's clothing during his live streams.

He wasn't shy at all; in fact, he got addicted to wearing them. His room was filled with dresses, and his makeup skills were absolutely superb.

Xiao Si said with a bitter face, "Brother, do you think I wanted this? I don't know what your old man told the receptionist, but men can't see you, only women can. I risked being exposed by wearing women's clothes just to see you. Do you know how much I suffered?"

Ling Qingyue didn't believe his nonsense: "Don't I have a cell phone? Can't you call me? Can't you talk on the phone if you need something?"

"We can't get through to your phone, we all suspect you've been kidnapped."

Ling Qingyue was taken aback. He then remembered that, to show how much he valued his work, he had handed his phone to Jiang Tian.

Ling Qingyue gave Xiao Si a deep look and asked him, "Then tell me, what is it that's worth you dressing up as a woman and making this trip?"

Xiao Si's tone became serious: "The coach asked me to come. Today our team is playing against H country. Although it was just a private practice, no one is sure of the outcome. People on the forum are all pessimistic. The coach wants you to go to the base. You can keep an eye on this match with him."

The official season is about to begin, and Ling Qingyue knows that everyone has been busy lately.

But when Ling Qingyue heard that they had run into H country, her expression changed.

Others may not know, but doesn't he understand?

H country is a tough opponent. If they lose, their club will probably be heavily criticized. After all, the H country team has beaten many other teams, and they, as champions, are expected to win even more.

But Ling Qingyue knew the club's situation; without him, the team hadn't found a replacement, making a victory extremely difficult. All they could do was try to avoid a humiliating defeat.

He instinctively wanted to go with Xiao Si, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he saw Jiang Tian standing to the side.

He almost forgot that he's been working as a corporate slave lately and can't leave his post at will.

"Brother, why aren't you leaving? Everyone's waiting for you to go back and review the situation. We're all so anxious."

Xiao Si couldn't help but urge him on.

Ling Qingyue remained silent.

This matter is indeed quite urgent, but he promised Jiang Tian that he would work hard to learn the company's procedures. If he leaves while he's learning, Jiang Tian will definitely look down on him...

Torn between dire straits on one side and Jiang Tian on the other, Ling Qingyue found herself in a dilemma.

Just as he hesitated, Jiang Tian spoke up: "Young Master, go ahead. You forgot what I said? As long as you finish reading a document, you'll get ten minutes of live stream time. You've read a lot of documents these days, and I've accumulated the time for you; it's enough for you to go out. Can you come back tomorrow?"

Ling Qingyue was instantly moved. He wasn't stupid; he could tell that Jiang Tian had put in a good heart.

His eyes reddened from Jiang Tian's actions, and disregarding Xiao Si's presence, he rushed up and hugged Jiang Tian.

"Thank you. I should be back by midnight if nothing unexpected happens."

Jiang Tian did not resist, but told him, "When you come back, open the door quietly. I still need to sleep."

Ling Qingyue smiled, a rare occurrence for him. He held Jiang Tian's shoulder, wanting to kiss her.

Unfortunately, he had the desire to steal, but not the courage.

Once they reached the underground parking lot, Xiaosi finally came to her senses: "Brother, who is that girl you were hugging just now? How old is she...?"

Why did he feel that the woman was very old?

Ling Qingyue had just opened the car door when she heard his words.

He warned him, "Her age is none of your business. I'm pursuing her, and she'll be your sister-in-law in the future."

My brother's taste is truly extraordinary.

Xiao Si shrank her neck: "...Okay, I'll be good."

Upon arriving at the base, Ling Qingyue received a warm welcome from everyone present.

The reason Ling Qingyue's hand injury was so severe back then was largely due to the team's poor strength, which required him to exert himself mentally and physically.

Back then, the system wasn't fully developed. In order to lead their team to the championship, Ling Qingyue practiced with them day and night. After a few years, her hands were ruined.

Within the base, Ling Qingyue held a transcendent position.

After analyzing the opponent's tactics and making adjustments for the players, they indeed did not suffer such a crushing defeat during the evening match.

The first few teams were all eliminated quickly, so they were considered to be doing relatively well. Although there were still some people criticizing them, the criticism wasn't as intense.

Ling Qingyue knew in her heart that things wouldn't be so simple once the official competition started.

There was nothing he could do; he managed to move his hand, and it's now functioning normally, which the doctor said is the best possible outcome.

To play esports again, you might need to be reincarnated.

The sadness vanished the moment he entered the door. Ling Qingyue had expected to be faced with darkness upon returning home, but Jiang Tian was still watching TV with the lights on.

Ling Qingyue immediately perked up: "Were you waiting for me?"

Jiang Tian glanced at him but didn't refute him: "If you're not back by midnight, I'll go back to sleep."

Ling Qingyue felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

"Go to sleep now, don't wait for me. ... Thank you for being lenient with me today."

"You're welcome. This is what you deserve. I've always been fair in my rewards and punishments."

In the workplace, Ling Qingyue actually admires Jiang Tian quite a bit.

She didn't become a capable subordinate of such a picky old man for nothing.

Ling Qingyue reflected on himself. No wonder Jiang Tian looked down on him. She was so much better than him. If he wanted her to like him, he would at least have to show some strength.

As he was reflecting on his actions, Jiang Tian stood up, turned off the TV, told him to go to bed early, and then went to her own room.

Beneath her knee-length white nightgown, her snow-white, perfect figure was faintly visible.

As Ling Qingyue watched her retreating figure, the urge to hug her returned.

In addition, Ling Qingyue looked down at herself.

How did it get up...?
