Chapter 225: Contract of Sale
The confidence revealed in Ruan Qi's words put everyone in myq's heart at ease.
Everyone ate and chatted, discussing many things related to the summer season. When they had finished discussing most of the things, the welcoming banquet also came to an end.
"We've already paid. We're leaving through the back door. The driver has already driven the car past."
After Qian Duo finished speaking, he put on a mask and walked out of the box first.
Ruan Qi armed himself, followed Lei Shen and He Yao, and left with the main force.
The second floor of this private restaurant had a long corridor, flanked by various private rooms decorated in antique styles. The room Ruan Qi had just been in was located at the very end of the corridor. To reach the elevator, one had to pass through all the doors of the private rooms on the second floor.
It is already dinner time and there are many people coming to eat. From time to time, people pass by in the corridor.
Ruan Qi didn't want to attract attention, so she pulled down the hood of her baseball cap and black sweatshirt, and followed Thor with her head down.
Suddenly, the Thunder God who was walking in front stopped.
Ruan Qi was caught off guard and bumped into his back.
“…” The little girl was stunned for a moment.
She touched the brim of her cap in a daze, and was about to look up when a sarcastic voice came from the front.
"Hey, isn't this Vice Captain Thor? Bringing your teammates out for dinner?"
Ruan Qi paused as he looked up.
This voice... sounds familiar, it seems...
"Manager Ma." Thor, who was standing in front of her, spoke lightly.
Ruan Qi immediately remembered who the owner of this voice was.
Mahon, the manager of the Monarch Club, was also Thor's former 'boss'.
That was four years ago.
At that time, Zunjue and myq had not yet been established, and Ma Hong was not the manager of Zunjue, but a pimp.
He likes to recruit new players who are good-looking or have good gaming skills, and then take advantage of the fact that they know nothing to trick them into signing unfair and predatory contracts, and sell them at high prices to major clubs or sponsors who like to play with e-sports players.
At that time, Thor was noticed by Ma Hong.
Lei Shen was only 18 years old four years ago, and he entered the esports scene with a passion for it. He knew nothing about it, and after a little persuasion from Ma Hong, he signed a "sell-out contract."
What followed was six months of devilish training with no human rights.
Ma Hong saw the talent of Thor and used him as a tool to make money. He forced him to train day and night, and refused to give him food if he was not satisfied.
Not only that, he also withheld Thor's salary, giving him only two hundred yuan a month.
Thor suffered for half a year and was hospitalized several times due to overwork. The 18-year-old boy became as thin as a bamboo pole.
He also thought about running away, but the contract he signed with Ma Hong clearly stated in black and white that if he breached the contract, he would have to pay a penalty of 10 million.
Lei Shen's family was just a working class and could not afford such a large sum of money. So he could only swallow his anger and continue to be enslaved by Ma Hong.
This hellish life lasted for more than half a year, until one day half a year later, Thor fainted on the roadside due to overwork again and was rescued by Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi was doing free medical treatment and happened to pass by Shanghu City. She rescued Lei Shen and took his pulse, and found that something was wrong with the boy.
Malnutrition, overwork, depression, anemia, how could a teenager in adolescence have so many symptoms?
Ruan Qi was suspicious, so she kept a watchful eye and tried to get the Thunder God's words out of her in a roundabout way after he woke up.
What happened next was a natural progression.
Ruan Qi collected some evidence and reported Ma Hong's actions to the relevant departments on the grounds of "violating the Contract Law."
Ma Hong's crime was exposed and he was in danger, so he no longer had the heart to care about Thor.
Ruan Qi rescued Thor, and then she became interested in e-sports and founded the myq club.
Ma Hong, whose crimes were exposed, barely escaped death by using all his connections. After two years of silence, he somehow got in touch with the Monarch Club and became the manager of the Monarch Club.
