Ling Qingyue answered the phone, and seeing that it was her manager calling, her tone unconsciously turned sour: "Hello?"

"Ling Qingyue, where are you?" the manager asked abruptly.

"What do you want with me at my girlfriend's house?"

The manager was extremely anxious: "Don't go out for the time being. Fans recognized you at the stadium, and many people are saying that you're coming back."

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingyue immediately opened his phone. He searched online and discovered that he had become famous in such a short time.

It must be said that the fans' ability to detect things is admirable.

Ling Qingyue covered herself up completely on the field and wore the most common clothes, just in case she was recognized.

But who would have thought that his fans would be so amazing, managing to pick him out of the crowd just by his posture, his little gestures and the way he walks.

When Ling Qingyue retired, a large number of people cried.

He was a god-like figure on the field back then. Even foreign players would tremble at the mention of his name. It's such a tragedy that such a fearsome figure had to retire due to a hand injury.

Even after retiring, he remains a legendary figure.

Ling Qingyue seemed to have a halo around him. Not long after retiring, an insider revealed that the main reason he didn't become a coach after retiring was that he came from a truly wealthy family, and his father was waiting for him to return and inherit the group.

Ling Qingyue's surname is quite unique; there are only a handful of super-rich families with such a surname. Some fans speculate that he is the heir of the Ling Group. The Ling Group's public relations department, which is usually quick to respond to defamation, did not clarify this time.

That's the default.

The idol's illustrious family background and lifelong comfort naturally soothe the hearts of his fans.

But that's only one aspect. On the other hand, the fact that Ling Qingyue will no longer appear in the e-sports circle still leaves many people feeling uneasy.

The club still has so many fans, and Ling Qingyue's influence is indispensable.

Many people had no hope for their team in the semifinals, but they managed to turn the tide and win against all odds. It was so exciting that the fans were thrilled and started looking for the reasons behind their victory.

The players have all made visible progress, but the main reason for winning this match was the tactics.

The coach is still hospitalized, and many people haven't found out who the club's new coach is.

Some people were keeping a close eye on what was happening at the stadium.

No matter how hard Ling Qingyue tried to defend herself, she couldn't stop so many eyes from watching.

One detail may not seem like much, but when multiple details are combined, he was still recognized.

Ling Qingyue should have inherited the family business, but he appeared on the field. Does this mean he is going to return?

Rumors are flying everywhere, with some even saying that his hand has been healed by a mysterious healer and that he will be the captain again in the new season.

Fans went wild. Some veteran players, eager for drama, even tagged Ling Qingyue, saying they would treat him to a meal if he returned.

As Ling Qingyue read on, she couldn't help but marvel at how well these people could make things up.

"Okay, I saw the news."

The manager said on the other end, "What are you planning to do?"

Ling Qingyue: "What else can we do? This is all nonsense. I'm no longer a professional player. Their attention will shift in a couple of days. Don't worry, I know why you called. I won't talk nonsense online."

The manager sighed, "I wish they were telling the truth, that a doctor cured your hand."

"Okay, okay, I thought it was a big deal. Don't call me unless it's important. My sister and I are enjoying some alone time."

Ling Qingyue didn't want to talk to him anymore and hung up the phone casually.

"Won't this affect you?"

Seeing him hang up the phone, Jiang Tian asked, "I heard it from the manager."

Ling Qingyue shook her head: "It's nothing."

He genuinely thought nothing was wrong, never expecting things to escalate so drastically.

Many people were hoping for his return and waiting for his response, but he didn't say a word, which only made more people scratch their heads in frustration.

What's even more dramatic is that the old man, after being discharged from the hospital, immediately ordered the human resources department to issue a notice upon returning to the company.

He fired both Ling Qingyue and Jiang Tian.

He also revealed the reason: his son was having an affair with his secretary, Jiang Tian, ​​and in order to ensure the company's impartiality, he chose to put aside his own family.

In fact, the Ling Group does not have a rule against office romances. Jiang Tian recently secured several major projects, which amazed everyone.

But in just a short time, the two of them became homeless dogs overnight.

After being fired by the old man, Jiang Tian will no longer be employed by the families he associated with.

Anyone with eyes could see that the old man was not satisfied with Jiang Tian as his daughter-in-law.

For a time, the romance between Jiang Tian and Ling Qingyue became the talk of the town.

Too many people were shocked.

Jiang Tian was eight years older than Ling Qing, and their usual attire seemed to belong to two different eras.

These two seemingly mismatched people actually started a relationship where the woman was older than the man!

Furthermore, well-informed employees told everyone that Ling Qingyue had been kicked out of the house, and it seemed that the old man didn't even intend to give him the right of inheritance.

For the sake of an older secretary, Ling Qingyue essentially gave up her future of wealth and luxury.

Such a dramatic turn of events happened right before the employees' eyes, and everyone kept gossiping about it.

The coincidence is that there are Ling Qingyue's fans in the group.

He posted the story online, just to join in the fun.

The news of Ling Qingyue's imminent return was already a hot topic, but the news that he was kicked out of his home for dating his secretary who was eight years older than him shocked many people even more.

Jiang Tian has become someone who arouses the curiosity of countless people.

She has participated in many events before, so her photos are easy to find.

Many people were greatly disappointed after seeing the photos.

I thought she was some kind of celestial being that Ling Qingyue would disregard, but it turns out she's just an ordinary person.

When Ling Qingyue woke up the next day and received the news, Jiang Tian's photos had already spread online.

Most of the photos are of her professional work; she appears to be a highly capable female elite, not as bad as others describe her to be.

But there are always some people with dark intentions who keep belittling her.

Ling Qingyue was furious.

The news of his relationship with Jiang Tian spread very quickly. It took off last night and exploded in the early hours of the morning. By the time he woke up, he and Jiang Tian were both trending on social media.

Ling Qingyue has recently taken to making breakfast for Jiang Tian and has been waking up very early.

He was glad that he had been full of energy last night and had been up to something several times. Jiang Tian was so exhausted that she fainted and was still fast asleep, unaware of the ups and downs online.

Ling Qingyue carefully stepped out of the room and tiptoed into Jiang Tian's small study.

He suppressed his anger, logged into the "King" account, and skillfully started the live stream.

He hasn't used this account since retiring, but he's very familiar with live streaming and hasn't forgotten the basic operations.

Nearly ten million fans received the message automatically pushed by this long-dormant account at the same time.
