"Hey? Lin Chen, your Starry Sky Technology is already so big, and you're still going to start an e-sports team?"
"It's just a hobby, but I only plan to run the League of Legends division. Dota and CS are up to you."
"No problem, I'll get started when I get back in a few days. As far as I know, the Chinese server for League of Legends hasn't been launched yet, right?"
"Yes, it'll be soon. Tencent is already preparing, and the Chinese server will be launched soon."
Three days later, Lin Chen brought Lee Sang-hyeok from South Korea to the Shanghai headquarters of Xingchen Technology.
"Sang-hyeok, this is our company. You can take a picture of your dad to put his mind at ease."
"Mr. Li, you're joking."
Despite saying that, he still took out his phone, took a picture, and sent it to his father to let him know he was safe.
"Come on, let's go sit in my office for a while."
Lin Chen led Lee Sang-hyeok to his office.
Just then, Zhang Yiming saw Lin Chen coming over and walked over as well.
"Boss, the XC eSports club you asked me to register has been registered, and the villa you asked me to rent has also been rented. It's not far from our company."
"Okay, that'll be just right to take him there in a bit."
Zhang Yiming looked at Li Xianghe, wondering why his boss valued him so much.
The boy, who was only a teenager, smiled at the other person with a bit of restraint.
Lin Chen took care of some company matters, and around noon, he took Zhang Yiming, An Rou, and Li Xianghe to a Sichuan hot pot restaurant near the company.
Lee Sang-hyeok's impression of hot pot was that of army stew. He had never eaten this kind of hot pot before and was very curious. However, after taking the first bite, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but start showing off.
Zhang Yiming laughed and said, "This young man is lucky. He actually got to eat hot pot treated by the boss. I haven't had this kind of treatment in ages."
Lin Chen's face darkened: "This meal is on you."
"No, boss, I'm just an employee."
"Mr. Zhang, you're too modest. That one Japanese meal you treated Wu Manni to could have cost as much as several hot pot meals."
"Ahem, it's just a hot pot meal, I'll treat you. Consider it my way of welcoming this young man."
An Rou stood by and gave Lee Sang-hyeok a simple translation in English.
Unexpectedly, Lee Sang-hyeok immediately stood up: "Senior, let me treat you to dinner."
The three were stunned. This Korean culture is really harmful. It's even poisoning such young children with this kind of traditional culture.
"No need, no need. It is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. You are a guest from afar, and I should do my best to be a good host."
An Rou's translation was incredibly tiring. No, Zhang Yiming, are you trying to show off your culture? Do you know that even a casual remark from our ancestors could be enough to translate a whole paragraph into English? And you're even going so far as to include the Analects?
Lee Sang-hyeok heard Zhang Yiming say only one sentence, but An Rou took a long time to translate it.
He exclaimed in astonishment, "Chinese culture is indeed profound and extensive!"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Sang-hyeok, I heard you studied some Chinese before?"
"Yes, we can get good pay for part-time translation work for Chinese tourists where we live, so I learned a little bit."
"Then I'll test you."
"all right."
One day, Xiaoming carried a bag of gifts to the boss's office.
The boss said, "What do you mean by this?"
Xiao Ming said, "It's nothing, I just meant it."
The boss said, "That's not fair of you."
Xiao Ming said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
The boss said, "You're a really interesting person."
Xiao Ming said that he didn't mean anything by it.
The leader said, "Then I'm embarrassed."
Xiao Ming said, "I'm the one who's embarrassed."
What does 'meaning' mean in the above dialogue?
Lee Sang-hyeok was dumbfounded after hearing this. "Boss, I can understand all the Chinese you just said, but why can't I understand it at all?"
Zhang Yiming and An Rou, standing to the side, were also dumbfounded. Sure enough, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. Lin Chen, you're a real jerk.
You're asking a Korean who's only learned a little Chinese to understand this kind of question? Even a foreigner who's lived in China for several years might not be able to understand it.
You've essentially nipped the other person's enthusiasm for learning Chinese in the bud, and then thrown that cradle into the fire, haven't you?
Lee Sang-hyeok was sweating profusely as he thought about it, but in the end he honestly said, "I'm sorry, boss, I can't answer that."
While eating hotpot, Lin Chen said, "It's okay, there's nothing to apologize for. But Sang-hyeok, it seems you have another task at the XC Club: to study Chinese well."
"No, no, no, this is not a task, this is what I should learn."
"Alright, eat up, then we'll head to the base."
After finishing the hot pot, Lin Chen ordered a fruit platter.
Looking at the fruit plate full of watermelons, Lee Sang-hyeok's perception of Lin Chen's wealth reached a new level.
He took a picture with his phone and sent it to his father, who was far away in South Korea.
Mr. Lee was initially worried that Lee Sang-hyeok wouldn't eat well in a foreign country, but seeing this plate full of watermelon, he no longer had any worries.
You should know that in China, watermelons might only cost one or two yuan per kilogram, and in some places they might only cost a few cents per kilogram. A large watermelon would cost only twenty yuan. But in South Korea, a watermelon would cost at least one hundred yuan.
After finishing their meal, Zhang Yiming led the three of them to the newly rented base.
Zhang Yiming opened the door and went in; the group then took a stroll around.
Lin Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the environment is not bad. The first floor can be used as a training room and a meeting room, and the upstairs can be used as dormitories. Xiang He, go and pick a bedroom."
"Boss, where are the other team members?"
"Oh, let me give you some instructions first. Currently, League of Legends hasn't been launched in China yet, but it should be soon, in the next few days."
You were the first professional player signed by our club, and also the captain of our League of Legends division.
Your first task these next few days is to get used to life here, learn some Chinese, and maybe play some League of Legends on the Korean server.
Once the Chinese server for League of Legends is launched, you can go back to the Chinese server to climb the ranks. At the same time, if you find any suitable teammates during the ranking process, you can recommend them to me. I will send someone to contact them and see if they are willing to play professionally.
"By the way, Lao Zhang, does the cook have any ideas?"
"We haven't made a decision on that yet."
"Alright, Sang-hyeok, you can order takeout by yourself for the next few days. I'll have An-rou bring you a phone this afternoon and teach you how to order takeout."
"Thank you very much, Mr. An."
"You're welcome."
Before leaving, Lin Chen left Li Xianghe 10,000 yuan in cash, telling him to use the money to buy any daily necessities he needed, as there was a supermarket outside the community.
