After Chen Weiqi finished posting on Weibo, he went into the supermarket and strolled around.

After paying the bill, Shen Weiqi found a chair in front of the supermarket glass and sat down.

I don’t know if it was because the supermarket was too warm, or the sunlight penetrating the glass melted the coldness on my body, but Shen Weiqi’s hands, which had been frozen slightly stiff outside, gradually regained their temperature.

He took out his cell phone and stared at the comments under his Weibo in silence.

[Ahhhh!!! Is this a new member?]

ITG, Destiny, what great names.

[What position does he play? Off the bench or starting?]

[The Chicken God himself made the official announcement, what a show.]

[They don't even have a Weibo account. The new team members don't know the rules.]

[Hahaha, does this mean Bill is finally leaving? ]

I have a relative in the professional gaming community who said that both Bill and Mia have terminated their contracts with ITG, but there's been no official announcement.

ITG's former bot lane duo is gone? Great news! I'll draw a house in Shanghai to celebrate.

[Fuck, Bill should have been fired long ago. He plays worse than a rookie. As an AD carry for ITG, he's a complete drag.]

[When will the new team members take official photos? 】

ITG fans, happy Chinese New Year!

Netizens on Weibo were quite friendly towards the new team members of 'ITG, Destiny'. Apart from a few championship fans who were concerned about the strength of 'ITG, Destiny', almost all players were as excited as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Shen Weiqi was quite satisfied with the response. Just when he was about to reply to a few fans, He Xiaoxi's urgent call came in.

Shen Weiqi didn't deliberately refuse to answer the call, he just pushed the vibrating phone away.

After the phone rang for a few minutes, Shen Weiqi slowly picked up the phone, guessing that He Xiaoxi's angry temper had been worn away by the long phone notification tone.

He didn't exchange many pleasantries with He Xiaoxi. He sneered and then teased, "As expected of a manager, you spread the news quickly."

He Xiaoxi on the other end of the phone took a deep breath, controlled his temper, and then threatened through gritted teeth: "I felt a long time ago that it would be safer to hand it over to you on Weibo."

Shen Weiqi smiled nonchalantly: "I've already handed it over on Weibo. What if you kill my account? If my KPI doesn't improve, what will happen to your bonus?"

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you," He Xiaoxi said patiently, "Tell me, how do you want to do PR?"

Shen Weiqi: "I just posted a Weibo, not an official announcement of a relationship. You need PR for this, aren't you tired?"

He Xiaoxi: "I'm almost overwhelmed with work now. Do you still have the mind to care about whether I'm tired or not? Come back with me quickly."

"Busy," Shen Weiqi looked out through the supermarket window. Across from him was the main entrance of Jiangzhi Community. He said nonchalantly, "I'm not going back."

"What are you busy with? Busy competing with the entertainment industry for the trending search list? Uncle, let me put you in your proper place. You're a professional esports player, not a celebrity whose value can be increased by dancing or singing. Getting a good ranking in your limited career is what you should do. You don't have to worry about the company's KPIs, just rest up. If you don't want to rest at home, come to the club. It's the off-season, the whole company is on vacation, and I finally have a few days of peace and quiet, but you keep making me trending every day. I'm almost mentally broken, okay?"

He Xiaoxi muttered for a long time, but Shen Weiqi didn't hear a word.

He Xiaoxi continued to talk to himself, "Forget it, don't worry about the trending topics for now. I'll officially announce Bill and Mia's departure later, apologize to the fans, and that'll be it. It's ITG and Destiny that are more difficult to deal with, though. Who is he?"

Shen Weiqi's answer was simple: "An AD."

He Xiaoxi immediately perked up: "Great, Chicken God, you found an AD so quickly? When will he start? How strong is he? What's his ranking in the Korean server?"

Shen Weiqi stared at the entrance of the community and asked casually, "When will you start working?"

He Xiaoxi said in a more polite tone: "Yeah."

"It's still early, wait."

"Huh? Why?"

Shen Weiqi: "Because she is going through a tribulation." She hasn't come out yet.

The sound of He Xiaoxi slamming the table reached Shen Weiqi's ears through the phone, and he immediately withdrew his gaze from the gate of the community.

Shen Weiqi: "Next time you buy a club table, remember to buy a solid wood one."

He Xiaoxi ignored him. "Chen Weiqi, are you kidding me? Today's society is no longer the same as it was five or six years ago. Being a professional player is such a great opportunity. Not only is it a legitimate career that allows you to make money, but you can also win glory for your country in the professional arena. How many people without competitive talent envy this? Do you need to overcome tribulations to be a professional player? What kind of tribulations are you overcoming?"

Shen Weiqi smiled and excused Jiang Zhi: "Her mother doesn't allow her to be a professional player."

"Her mother won't allow it? You must be kidding! She can make a million a year just by playing games. What else would her mother be dissatisfied with? There's only one reason she won't let her become a professional esports player, and that's because the money isn't there yet. If the money is there, everything will be easy to negotiate." He Xiaoxi glanced at her weekly schedule and continued, "How about this? Have her come to the club to see me the day after tomorrow. If she's talented enough, the annual salary will be easy to negotiate. Boss Jiang and I will discuss this personally and we'll definitely give her a high annual salary."

When He Xiaoxi stopped talking, Shen Weiqi interrupted and said, "That's it."

"Um."

"Then I'll hang up."

"Wait a minute, within a month, you must bring ITG and Destiny to the club and make an official announcement. Otherwise, if we can't recruit anyone after you've given the order, it will be a disgrace to the club," said He Xiaoxi.

Shen Weiqi didn't say anything, and He Xiaoxi didn't understand his attitude at all: "Chicken God...what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," Shen Weiqi glanced at the time on his phone, seemed to sigh, and continued, "I respect her opinion."

"Huh?" He Xiaoxi completely understood what Shen Weiqi meant.

So Destiny herself and her family never agreed to join ITG, but this unreliable Shen Weiqi just announced it on Weibo on his own?

He Xiaoxi was helpless: "Then what do you say we should do? What if Destiny doesn't join ITG? What will happen to our PR materials?"

"Then just pick someone to take the blame," Shen Weiqi chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Or, you can just say that ITG and Destiny are actually your new IDs, and I'm only posting on Weibo because I'm doing it for your sake. That way, our year-end KPI can double."

He Xiaoxi: "What if someone thinks we're having an affair and misunderstands us as coming out?"

"That's unlikely." Shen Weiqi paused, organized his words, and continued, "My fans know that I—am not that hungry and indiscriminate."

He Xiaoxi: “…”

Within the community.

Jiang Zhi stared at the Weibo post by Shen Weiqi for a long time, and only then realized that he had been standing there for a long time.

Looking at the gradually increasing number of comments under Shen Weiqi's Weibo, Jiang Zhi suppressed his curiosity.

Years of being criticized taught her that the more she expected something, the less likely she was to read the comments.

If any netizen accidentally touches her most sensitive point, her mentality will collapse.

She didn't click on the comments, nor did she read the replies in the hot search terms.

He put away his phone, mustered up his courage, and walked into the Jiang family villa.

After entering the door, Jiang Zhi changed into slippers at the entrance and walked quietly into the inner room.

The whole villa was quiet. A strange silence made the air gradually become sticky. Jiang Zhi felt that he could not even breathe air.

Jiang Zhi's bedroom is on the second floor, and the stairs leading to the second floor are in the living room.

She walked into the living room and just as she stuck her head in, she saw two people on the sofa staring at her.

It was her mother Meng Qian and her godmother Shang Xiao.

Jiang Zhi quickly greeted: "Godmother."

Seeing Jiang Zhi coming back, Shang Xiao immediately smiled: "Zhizhi is back? Did you have fun?"

Before Jiang Zhi could reply, she glanced at Meng Qian, who was lying on the sofa with her arms crossed, as if she wanted to swallow her up. Her heart trembled, and she even forgot to answer Shang Xiao's question.

Jiang Zhi lowered her head, not daring to look at Meng Qian's gloomy face.

Meng Qian's expression was the most terrifying Jiang Zhi had ever seen in the past twenty years.

Her eyes were wide open, her beautiful eyebrows stretched to the sides, and her thin lips were tightly pursed. If expressions could eat people, Jiang Zhi would definitely be eaten by Meng Qian until not even a bone was left.

Just after such a casual glance, Jiang Zhi felt that her breathing had stopped, let alone continuing to meet Meng Qian's gaze.

"Jiang Zhi, where have you been?" Meng Qian's cold and angry voice sounded.

Jiang Zhi raised her head slightly, and her round eyes signaled to Shang Xiao for help.

Shang Xiao: "Zhizhi, don't be afraid. Just tell the truth."

Jiang Zhi nodded: "Net...Net..."

Jiang Zhi felt like she couldn't say the last word "吧". She quickly made up an excuse, hesitating and saying without any confidence: "Internet... my classmate's house."

Shang Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Meng Qian didn't say anything. She picked up the remote control from the table and turned on the TV.

A room immediately appeared on the TV screen. The room was not very big, only big enough to fit a computer and a gaming chair.

The space is surrounded by light yellow walls, giving the whole visual feel a warm feeling.

The screen showed an empty room as if it was still for a long time. After a while, a girl with wavy brown hair came over. She was thin, and as soon as she sat in the gaming chair, she disappeared from the screen.

Not long after, she turned on the computer, poked her head out from behind the back of the gaming chair, and reached out to open the window on the left. Perhaps she saw something while opening the window, so she turned her head and met Jiang Zhi's eyes outside the screen.

On the screen, the little girl was incredibly beautiful, with a small face and fair, translucent skin. Her face seemed to be covered in a thin, transparent, pure film of water, so shimmering it looked like you could squeeze water out of it. Her beautiful eyes were round, her nose was straight and smoothly curved, and her lips, neither too thick nor too thin, were a faint pink.

After looking at the camera for a long time, the little girl frowned as if in confusion, and nodded as if with emotion.

In an instant, Jiang Zhi clearly felt his heart skip a beat.

Isn’t this the video of her playing games in the Internet cafe just now?

She just glanced at the camera and sighed at the formality of the Internet cafe. How could it be used as evidence of her playing games and spread to the Jiang family?
