Every time Ye Xian remembered the touching and warm interactions from the game, she felt disgusted to realize that such sinister and vicious intentions were hidden behind them.
The other four members of the YFD team also deceived her along with him. They spoke of a "green and healthy company" and a "reliable middle-aged boss." They all conspired to trick her, treating her like a fool!
With wet hands, she pulled out her phone from her pocket, about to confront them in the WeChat group, when her contact list popped up showing several missed calls.
From her second brother.
She pressed to call back, but no one answered.
She tried several more times, but still, no answer.
Under normal circumstances, her second brother wouldn’t turn off his phone, nor would he ignore her calls.
Ye Xian called her secretary KIMI, "Hello, KIMI, this is Ye Xian. Why is Ye Shaowen not answering his phone?"
"President Ye has already boarded the plane. His phone must be turned off."
"Boarded a plane?" Ye Xian frowned. When did her brother plan a business trip without telling her, "Where is he headed?"
KIMI hesitated for a long time before finally admitting, "There’s been an incident at the company. A few days ago, Zero Degree suddenly withdrew their investment, and several high-end luxury brands joined in boycotting Zero Degree. The cancellations piled up, numerous foreign brands terminated their contracts. President Ye has gone abroad to negotiate with these companies in hopes of mitigating some of the losses."
Ye Xian’s grip on her phone tightened, the knuckles creaking.
Bo Tingshen, it was always Bo Tingshen. He had finally taken action against her brother!
Banning her wasn’t enough, now he wouldn’t spare even those close to her. How could he be so despicable!
"Didn’t he say that BHS didn’t pressure him?"
"President Ye only said that to avoid worrying you. In fact..." KIMI, recalling Ye Shaowen’s instructions, ultimately didn’t say ’this is all because of you,’ "In fact, the company has been in dire straits these days, and President Ye has been overwhelmed, merely pretending that nothing is wrong."
Ye Xian hung up the phone, her eyes reddening.
Did he really think she was a pushover, always to be bullied and manipulated by him?!
"Welcome to the final of the thirteenth Honor of Kings KPL professional league! I am the host Xu Lai, and this is my co-host Zhao Qing. The highly anticipated, thrilling match will begin here at 2:30 PM. I believe that everyone present, as well as the viewers through the live broadcast cameras, can hardly wait. After a year’s waiting, we finally see the return of the king, a summer’s dream of battling in the Valley. YFD and RSG, two powerful teams, are ready to compete. When the champions collide, who will rule, who will prevail, and who will finally seize the king’s crown? Let’s wait and see!"
Inside the Imperial Capital International Technology Exhibition Hall, the crowd was buzzing, the atmosphere electric. Thousands of fans, game media, journalists, esports bigwigs, KPL planners, and officials gathered together, the venue filled with cheering flags and loud chants. The live broadcast conditions were streaming on various social and game streaming softwares, with dense bullet comments flying like rain. The popularity of the KPL at its peak.
[Champion Team, the king returns. There’s no doubt that the champion of this KPL will be YFD!]
[Really? Y fans think YFD is the Divine Team? The reason they won the championship for several years before was because of the strongest adc, Laier. But YFD’s official V announced three days ago that Laier would not participate in this match and a rookie has joined. I think the miracle might be interrupted!]
