Chapter 845 Rules and Etiquette Must Not Be Neglected
Judging from the Haichang coach's reaction, Shen Xing knew that their performance had satisfied the Haichang coach.
"Keep up the good work! You have the potential to win the championship. I believe in you!"
Shen Xing nodded heavily.
Back in the lounge, the group only realized they had become famous after getting their phones back.
"Shen Xing, the internet is exploding, and you guys are all the trending topics!"
"Several professional players have shared your match clips!"
The two substitutes said excitedly to them.
This wave of popularity came quickly and enthusiastically, and the organizers of the college league naturally did not want to miss this good opportunity to create momentum. They secretly increased their investment in buying traffic and pushing it to the top of the trending topics, determined to push this popularity to its peak.
"Holy crap, my account has been exposed, and I've gained tens of thousands of followers!" Bai Lianghe exclaimed in surprise when he saw the number of followers on his social media.
"Me too! Me too!" Mu Jin held up her phone and leaned closer, the number of followers on the screen still jumping up and down: "I've gained tens of thousands of followers too!"
"Even I've increased!" Shi Jingming exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock.
"This is just the preliminary round! If we keep this up, won't we all have hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers?" Yu Qian counted on her fingers, her eyes sparkling. "We'll be pretty well-known internet celebrities then, and maybe we can even sell products!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. Shen Xing looked at everyone and said, "No matter what, we must stay calm and not let our guard down just because we won the preliminary round easily. Our goal is to win the championship!"
The group nodded and smiled at each other. They all held the e-sports arena in awe, and once they stepped onto the stage, they would concentrate and give it their all!
On the other side, the "Qingyu Villa" was warm and cozy.
Shen Jingjing was busy in the kitchen, her chopping movements skillful and efficient. The nanny, Aunt Liu, walked in from outside. Seeing the cleaver flying in Shen Jingjing's hands and the neatly arranged ingredients on the cutting board, she was stunned for a moment before quickly stepping forward: "Second Madam, the old master specifically instructed that you should not do the work yourself. You can leave the rest to me."
"It's alright, Aunt Liu. I came here today just to give the old man a change of pace." Shen Jingjing's hands moved non-stop, and the bamboo shoots were quickly cut into even strips under her rhythmic knife skills. "You just need to tell me the old man's taste preferences and dietary restrictions, and I'll take care of the rest."
Hearing this, Aunt Liu couldn't help but laugh: "The old man has never been a picky eater, nor does he have any dietary restrictions. He likes any dish that suits his taste."
"Then I'm relieved." Shen Jingjing smiled and picked up another ingredient to continue processing.
Seeing this, Aunt Liu stopped refusing and rolled up her sleeves: "Then I'll help the Second Madam."
When the meal was ready, the others returned one after another. Upon learning that Shen Jingjing was cooking today, the rest of the Jiang family came over.
The news of getting the marriage certificate hasn't been made public yet, but everyone in the family knows.
Jiang Yuanyu was meeting Shen Jingjing for the first time, so he took the initiative to call her "sister-in-law" and brought her a gift.
Jiang Cheng and his wife, as the younger generation, made thorough preparations, and their wedding home was also in "Wan Jia Deng Huo" (Ten Thousand Lights), the same community as Shen Jingjing, although they had never met on a regular basis.
Shen Jingjing prepared a table full of her signature dishes, and her cooking style was clearly different from Liu Sao's. The Jiang family found it novel and didn't feel like they were eating at home.
"These dishes were all made by Jingjing herself. She started working on them this afternoon." The old man sat in the main seat, his face full of satisfaction. As soon as he sat down, he praised Shen Jingjing, "I have heard Yuanliang mention that you are a good cook, but you should only cook occasionally in the future. It is too hard for you to work for several hours at a time."
Jiang Yuanliang looked at his wife with tender eyes. Shen Jingjing smiled and said, "It's alright, Dad. I enjoy cooking myself. Besides, I was thinking that although Aunt Liu's cooking is good, you've been eating the same things for decades, so I specially prepared something different for you."
The old man was very pleased with these words, and his smile deepened: "Alright, do what you like, I won't stop you."
After the old man picked up his chopsticks, everyone else followed suit.
Shen Jingjing's culinary skills need no further explanation; everyone who took the first bite couldn't help but show surprise and praise.
The old man, a seasoned gourmet, nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, saying, "Delicious, delicious!"
Wen Shuyi noticed that Shen Jingjing was without makeup today, and couldn't help but look at her curiously and ask, "Jingjing, why aren't you wearing makeup today? You usually care a lot about your appearance."
After she mentioned it, the others subconsciously looked over as well. Shen Jingjing explained naturally, "Yuanliang and I are planning to start trying to conceive early, so we've stopped using skincare and makeup products."
At her age, the skincare products she uses are high-end, functional products with complex ingredients, especially essential oils which have extremely strong penetrating power and can enter the bloodstream.
So, just to be on the safe side, Shen Jingjing, who always loves beauty, decided to stop using all these things in the early stages of trying to conceive, just in case.
Upon hearing that the couple was preparing to conceive, the old man happily put down his chopsticks: "Oh, it's good to prepare for pregnancy. There are things to pay attention to when preparing for pregnancy."
"Shuyi, you arrange to buy some nourishing food for Jingjing. You're the expert when it comes to good things for women," the old man instructed Wen Shuyi.
Wen Shuyi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Dad. I'll ask my grandfather to prescribe a good medicine for Jingjing to help her recover."
Jiang Yuanyu looked up at his second brother and said, "Brother, if you're planning to have a baby, shouldn't you hurry up and set a wedding date? Otherwise, if your sister-in-law gets pregnant early, she won't look good in her wedding dress."
Jiang Yuanliang nodded: "Preparations are already underway."
While the old man was happy, he remained rational at this moment. He reminded his son, "The company needs to make all the preparations in advance. Your wedding is not a small matter. All the chain reactions need to be predicted and anticipated in advance!"
As a national-level mega-corporation, Jiangdong Group's chairman, Jiang Yuanliang, will inevitably trigger a chain reaction once his marriage is made public. It may not only affect the group's stock price, but also involve many changes in interests. This wedding is destined to become a grand event that attracts nationwide attention.
"Don't worry, Dad, I know all of this," Jiang Yuanliang replied calmly.
The old man then looked at Shen Jingjing and asked gently, "Jingjing, when are you going to bring your relatives to Longcheng? Or I can go there sometime so we can discuss the bride price."
Before Shen Jingjing could speak, the old man cut her off: "You can't refuse the bride price. It's the rule and etiquette. It can't be less."
Fortunately, Shen Jingjing was prepared: "Dad, just give according to the dowry customs in our hometown. When my younger brother got married, my family only gave 6.6 yuan. It's just for good luck."
"Six yuan and sixty cents? No way, that'll make us a laughingstock!" The old man rejected the idea without even thinking. "You don't need to worry about this. I'll meet with your mother sometime, and I'll decide. Six yuan and sixty cents... I can brew a good pot of tea for more than six yuan and sixty cents..."
Shen Jingjing wanted to say something, but Jiang Yuanliang's hand gently grasped hers from under the table.
"You should listen to your father's arrangements regarding this matter."
