“Congratulations, Miss Ye, you certainly put on a good show today!”
As Ye Lan was contemplating, a man’s voice chimed in beside her.
It was Ren Yuanhao, who had arrived in a flash.
“Client: Ye Lan
Age: 23
Occupation: Tian Shu Team Member
Relationship History: Unknown”
These details imprinted themselves into Ren Yuanhao’s mind as they met.
Ye Lan had intended to remain silent, but upon seeing his face, her heart gave a sudden jolt. This person was definitely not a fan, nor someone from the company. Could it be…
Her phone chimed with a text message: This is Didi Love Match, your custom boyfriend has arrived. We wish you an experience filled with heart-fluttering moments. To unsubscribe, please reply TD.
“I am Ren Yuanhao, a business representative for Didi Love Match. …I feel like this greeting is too formal. Never mind, girl, your name is Ye Lan, right?”
Ren Yuanhao had practiced dealing with aloof beauties countless times in his dreams. This was a small matter.
“Yes, you can go. I’m very tired.” As soon as Ye Lan spoke, she wanted to slap herself.
—What is going on? I got shut down so inexplicably. Was my approach too forward?
As Ren Yuanhao was pondering, a man wearing the same insignia as Ye Lan walked over.
With every step he took, Ren Yuanhao felt a formidable aura bearing down on him, like a howling gale!
“Such a powerful presence!”
This person completely ignored the awkward Ren Yuanhao, walked straight to Ye Lan’s side, and said with a hint of anger in his tone, “Ye Lan, while you won this match, your performance has left me very dissatisfied.”
“Zhao Ri Tian, what do you mean? Speak your mind.”
Ye Lan didn’t even glance at Zhao Ri Tian, her expression icy. Ren Yuanhao unconsciously swallowed, feeling a cold wind cutting across his face.
Zhao Ri Tian, the captain of the Tian Shu team, was incredibly skilled and the brains of the team, possessing exceptionally keen insight. As a result, no one in the company dared to offend him.
Yet, such a man was utterly incapable of handling Ye Lan.
“Ye Lan, I ask you, you clearly could have used your area-of-effect crowd control skills to manage the situation, so why did you opt for single-target control?” Zhao Ri Tian’s tone remained arrogant, completely disregarding Ren Yuanhao, an outsider.
Ye Lan began to pack up her keyboard and mouse, seemingly unwilling to answer Zhao Ri Tian’s question.
“What kind of attitude is that!” Zhao Ri Tian seemed to have lost face. Fortunately, the match was over, and the internet cafe was empty.
“Did we win in the end?”
“Yes, we won.”
“Then can I leave now?” Ye Lan’s cold eyes were like daggers as she glared at Zhao Ri Tian, who was blocking her path.
“Don’t think you can bully people just because your hand speed is fast. Actions like yours will only make people think you’re showing off and create more enemies! Do you understand!”
“Enemies? I don’t care. From the moment I entered the esports scene, those guys’ ultimate enemy has always been me.”
—This girl is going full Queen’s Dominance!
Ren Yuanhao couldn’t help but get goosebumps. Zhao Ri Tian, unable to maintain his composure, put on an air and replied coldly, “If the one standing in your way at the end was me, then what?”
“Can you stop me?” Ye Lan said it as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world, but it completely infuriated Zhao Ri Tian.
“Very good. I hope you can still say that so calmly after the arena match begins tonight.” Zhao Ri Tian grunted and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Ren Yuanhao was completely left in the lurch. Ye Lan didn’t even pause as she brushed past him.
“Hey, hey, hey, it’s not that I don’t want to talk to you, it’s that you didn’t even acknowledge me. Looks like this order can be canceled. Let’s go our separate ways.”
“System detects a change in the client’s emotional state. Host, please be more proactive. Otherwise, if the mission fails, you will also be penalized.”
—Does this mean I have to be a pathetic sycophant?
Ren Yuanhao could only grumble internally. Ye Lan hadn’t gone far before he called out to her.
“Hey, I say, Miss Ye, you can be upset, you can be proud and arrogant, but please think carefully before placing an order, so as not to embarrass anyone!”
“After saying so much, do you want money? Here, take it.”
Ye Lan casually tossed over a dozen hundred-yuan bills onto the gaming desk, not even bothering to look at Ren Yuanhao.
In reality, it wasn’t that she was cold or had a bad first impression of Ren Yuanhao. It was just that the last bit of good mood she had was completely ruined by that guy named Zhao Ri Tian.
“Miss Ye, don’t think money can solve everything. Let me tell you, I don’t care for this.”
Ren Yuanhao snatched the money from the gaming desk, quickly moved to the window, and tossed the money out without batting an eye!
“I didn’t expect you to have such backbone.”
Ye Lan was finally drawn in by Ren Yuanhao’s actions. It was also a way to give both of them a way out.
“It’s not about having backbone, it’s about me being responsible to my client.”
“Responsible? No need. We’re not close. Even if I impulsively wanted to try, it was only a trial.” Ye Lan looked down coldly, her eyes as sharp as an eagle’s.
Ren Yuanhao didn’t want to prolong the stalemate on this issue and quickly shifted the topic to the solo arena competition tonight.
“Since Miss Ye is willing to linger, I have something to tell you. I don’t think you’ll necessarily be able to defeat that man from earlier tonight.”
“I can assume you’re just joking…”
“Intuition. My intuition tells me you’re carrying a heavy burden, and that man’s presence earlier was no less than yours. More importantly, I’ve already looked at this.”
Ren Yuanhao slapped a stack of newspapers onto the table. Large red characters emblazoned the front page: Tian Shu Team Top Three Contention Match Will Officially Begin Tonight at 8 PM. This competition will determine which three members of the Tian Shu team will be sent to vie for tickets to the semi-finals in four days. As everyone knows, this team is powerful, featuring the aloof esports queen Ye Lan. However, we have never witnessed such internal strife within the team. This time, let everyone feast their eyes!
“What does this have to do with me winning or losing?”
