When Ye Xiaoran went out, it was the morning rush hour.
The main roads in the city were already congested. The car drove and stopped, but it only moved a few kilometers after a long time.
Fangfang put both hands on the steering wheel and asked casually, "Xiao Ge, why are you going to the mall?"
Ye Xiaoran said calmly, "To meet someone."
Fangfang was surprised and could not help but glance at him. "Meet at the mall?
That's not your style. "
Ye Xiaoran was famous for staying at home. He would never meet if he could solve something over the phone. Could it be …
A light bulb went off in her head. Fang Fang was suddenly excited, as if she had discovered a little secret. "Did you go on a blind date?
Am I right? "
That made sense. Xiao Ge received a call from CEO Ye last night. She did not know what they talked about, but he said that he wanted to go back to the base. He was not very happy when he talked to someone on the phone just now. It was obvious that he was being forced.
No one could force Xiao Ge to do something he did not want to do. CEO Ye must have negotiated with Xiao Ge and used the sponsorship as a bargaining chip to get Xiao Ge to attend the blind date!
Ye Xiaoran was silent for a while. He looked up slightly and his eyes were deep. "What made you think that way?"
"Because you asked someone to meet at the mall!"
Fangfang said confidently. "That's a sacred place for dating. You can't see a single dog there."
"The other party is a man."
"F * ck, I didn't know that you were into this?"
"…"
Fangfang could not help but tighten her collar. "Xiao Ge, I know that hanging out with men every day will affect you, but you have to be strong!
It's a waste of God's gift to be gay with such a beautiful face! "
Ye Xiaoran sighed. "Sometimes I really envy you."
“？！”
"Your brain is like a decoration. You never use it, and there's no logic or organization. That's why you can always say shocking things."
"… I don't think that's a compliment at all."
"I wasn't complimenting you."
"…"
She really wanted to chase him out of the car!
***
The destination was Heng Tian Shopping Mall. Fangfang suppressed the urge to murder their captain and parked the car by the roadside. Ye Xiaoran got out of the car and left.
His back was straight as he slowly walked towards the shopping mall. There were many pedestrians on the road. People were coming and going, and he should have been drowned out by them very quickly. However, he seemed to be glowing and attracting people's attention. Everyone who passed by could not help but turn to look at him.
Even if there was a crowd, he would still be the most dazzling one.
Even a beast in human form couldn't resist looking good.
Fangfang sighed. It was a pity that he didn't want to be a celebrity and came to play esports.
On the other side, several men in suits escorting Ye Wang appeared in their line of sight. Fangfang was startled and before she could react, she saw Ye Xiaoran walk up to Ye Wang. The two of them had a brief exchange and then left together.
It's not a date. It's a guy …
Ye Xiaoran's voice echoed in her mind.
So the person Xiao Ge wanted to meet was CEO Ye????!!!
Fangfang's face turned green. She trembled as she took out her phone and quickly created a new group chat. She added everyone except Ye Xiaoran.
Fangfang: Captain went to meet his father!!!!!
Ding dong —
At the same time, four phones in the base rang.
Jiang Nan had just finished a round of practice with Gu Yan. When he picked up his phone, he realized that Fangfang's messages were flooding the screen.
Fangfang: Oh my god!
I thought that Captain was going on a blind date. He met someone at a shopping mall in the middle of the day. Anyone who heard it would misunderstand. Who would have thought that he was actually going to meet CEO Ye???
Fangfang: CEO Ye called Xiao Ge for two days in a row. There must be something important. Is Xiao Ge really leaving the team to go home and inherit the family business????
Fangfang: Where is he?
Where did he go?!!!!!

[Fangfang initiated a voice call.]
Lao Fan held the vibrating phone. "Why is Fangfang so noisy? He's not calm at all.
Captain is just meeting his father. Does he have to act like it's the end of the world? "
Achu clasped her hands together and cupped her heart. "My idol only took one look at me, but I've already thought of the name of our child … Isn't this very similar to Fangfang?
His powerful imagination is very suitable for chasing idols. "
Jiang Nan hesitated. "Should we accept the voice call? I feel like Fangfang is going to explode."
"No, no," Lao Fan quickly stopped her. "If we accept the voice call, the four of us will be the ones who explode."
Achu nodded and gently twirled her gray hair. "Fangfang is very scary when he loses control of his emotions. He's been nagging for a long time now, right?
But this time, his lethality will increase tenfold. "
"So we're just going to leave him alone?"
Jiang Nan was still a little hesitant, but her three teammates had already skillfully muted their phones and returned to the embrace of the game.
Unlike them, the atmosphere on Ye Xiaoran's side was a little more solemn.
He followed Ye Wang into the mall. The latter inspected the counter and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Ye Wang was already middle-aged. His sharp eyebrows were intimidating. He took good care of himself, and there were almost no traces of time on his face.
Ye Xiaoran did not look like him, but his temperament was the same. Even if someone did not know him, they could tell at a glance that they were family.
"You only gave me one night. How can I make up my mind?"
"Even if I give you more time, you can't change the outcome."
Ye Wang disagreed. "I hope you don't waste your time. For businessmen, money is measured in seconds."
"I'm not a businessman."
"That's why you're living such a miserable life now."
In terms of speaking without mercy, Ye Wang and Ye Xiaoran could be said to be of the same origin. "The era of WIND is over. You should accept your fate. Cut your losses in time and return to the right path."
"What's the right path?" Ye Xiaoran's tone was calm. "Graduating from a famous school and walking on the broad road paved by your parents is the right path?
Old Ye, you're too spiritless. "
Did people live just to make money?
Of course not. People lived to make money happily.
When he played Sword Three, his blood was hot.
"…"
If it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders present, Ye Wang would have beaten him up.
Stinking brat, how dare you call him Old Ye!?
"NI wants to merge with your team. Yes, you can enter NI and continue to play, but they have a captain. With your personality, are you willing to be a small player and submit to others?"
Ye Wang knew him well. His son was an adult in his twenties, but his youthful spirit had never faded. His ambition was higher than the sky.
"It's fine as long as we don't merge."
"Who do you think you are?
The boss of the team?
Your words don't matter. "
"I have 13% of the shares in my hands. I'm the second shareholder of the team. How can my words not matter?"
Over the years, Ye Xiaoran had won countless trophies and honors for WIND. He was also a famous streamer in the Sword Three circle. The team of ladies behind him could circle the earth if they held hands. The boss of the team had transferred a lot of shares to him in order to keep this money tree.
However, as Ye Wang said, businessmen always put profits first. When the money tree no longer made money, there was no capital left.
"You said that you're the second shareholder. Do you know what it means to have absolute control?
The first shareholder is determined to sell WIND. No matter what you say, it's useless. If you don't have enough shares, you can only listen obediently. "
Ye Xiaoran retorted, "Do I look like someone who listens obediently?"
His eyes were deep and he was calm. Ye Wang looked at him for a moment and finally couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like you're determined not to turn back."
Actually, it was an expected answer.
Back then, Ye Xiaoran stubbornly chose to play eSports. No one understood him. In order to force him to turn back, Ye Wang even froze his bank account and chased him out of the house.
He just wanted to make him back off in the face of difficulty.
He was sure that he, who had been spoiled since young, couldn't withstand the hardships of the outside world.
However, he persevered. With his talent and hard work, he soared to the top and became the center of attention.
Ye Wang didn't say it, but he was actually very proud. Other children were reaching out to their families for money, but his child had already shone brightly on the world stage.
Ye Xiaoran raised his eyebrows slightly. "I thought you already knew this."
"Knowing is one thing. As your elder, I still hope that you can lead a better life."
"I'm already leading a better life than my peers."
He became famous at a young age and enjoyed flowers and applause. He was also sought after by tens of thousands of people. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had both fame and fortune.
Ye Wang glared at him. "You're already 25 years old. Can't you be a little more humble?"
Ye Xiaoran said calmly, "If I were humble, I wouldn't be me."
…
The father and son started bickering again. The secretary looked at the time, stepped forward, and reminded Ye Wang in a low voice that he had to go to the conference room.
He had several meetings today and his schedule was very full. Even when he met Ye Xiaoran, he took the time to patrol the counter. Ye Wang said, "Let me remind you one last time. NI has already made a merger request. They're willing to take in all of WIND, except for you."
"It's the sponsor's idea. A 'mysterious' sponsor doesn't get along with you. He said that if NI takes you in, he'll withdraw his sponsorship."
Ye Wang deliberately emphasized the word 'mysterious'. Obviously, he knew who this sponsor was.
Ye Xiaoran didn't seem to care. He asked another question instead, "Why did you withdraw your sponsorship previously?"
Ye Wang laughed. "Seeing that you've made so many enemies, I'll hit you when you're down and see if I can force you back."
Ye Xiaoran: "Are you dreaming?"
