Everyone looked over in surprise. It was Ling Tian!
Bing Cha said to me with a smile, "Kid, your father-in-law is here."
I was stunned.
Ling Xue and Ling Yue had already come out to greet him, one holding Ling Tian's hand intimately.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Ling Tian laughed. "My two precious daughters are here to play in the WSL International. Of course I have to come and watch. After discussing a business deal this morning, I flew to Beijing. How is it? Did you enter the quarterfinals?"
Ling Xue said with a smile, "What do you think?"
"Looks like they did!"
Ling Tian smiled and shouted from afar, "Scholar, Bing Cha, come here!"
"Oh, oh!"
After the few of us got closer, Ling Tian asked, "Are there any programs tonight?"
"No, it's just an official dinner hosted by Spirit of Grief," I said.
"Oh, I see. Then, how about I treat you to dinner?"
Ling Xue laughed softly. "Sure!"
Ling Tian laughed. "What do you want to eat?"
Ling Xue asked, "What can you eat that will make you go bankrupt?"
"Nothing can make me go bankrupt."
"Then whatever."
Ling Tian laughed. "Let's go, I have a chartered car outside. Let's go to XX Hotel, it's not far from OO Road. Also, there are a few girls, come with us. You are Zi Yue, right?"
"I am Summer, uncle."
"Ah?
Sorry, then you must be Silent Rain! "
"I am Lin Xiang..."
"Ah?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I made a mistake again. Forget it, let's go. I've called three commercial cars. Let's celebrate together. Our Blue Star sponsored Xue Yue has advanced to the quarter-finals! "
"Yes yes!"
And so, we left together.
Coincidentally, Wang Junjie and Hong Lingwu also left.
After seeing the group of people on the Snow Moon, Wang Junjie sneered.
Unfortunately, it was heard by Ling Tian. Ling Tian turned around and recognized Wang Junjie. He immediately shouted in a low voice, "Little bastard!"
Wang Junjie was shocked.
Ling Tian waved his hand. "Go!"
Immediately, four men in black suits walked over and grabbed Wang Junjie on each side. They pushed and shoved him into a public toilet not far away.
The toilet attendant asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"We're going to the toilet!
A man in a black suit said with a smile.
"Going to the toilet?
Why are you dressed like a gangster when you're going to the toilet? Are you crazy? "
The men pushed Wang Junjie into the toilet. Splashing sounds could be heard. Hong Lingwu stood outside the toilet. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. She turned around and grabbed Ling Tian's sleeve. She shouted, "Why did you hit him? Why did you hit him?"
Ling Tian sneered and shook off Hong Lingwu. He said coldly, "Zheng girl, even you, I, don't dare to speak to me like this. You better be polite!
Hmph, why did I hit him?
Let me tell you, he dared to touch my daughter. I'm already giving you face by not killing him! "
Hong Lingwu sat on the ground and cried. Not long after, Wang Junjie crawled out with a swollen face. He was covered in dirty water. The toilet attendant was shocked. He adjusted his glasses and sighed. "What a sin. Another one fell into the urinal. This unlucky kid …"
Bing Cha coughed. "This is inhumane …"
Ling Tian smiled. "Let's go eat. Scholar, stop looking. Let's go."
"Oh …"
A group of people got into the car and quickly left the crime scene. In the rearview mirror, Wang Junjie was sitting next to the flowerbed, gritting his teeth. Hong Ling Wu took out a tissue to wipe her face, but he slapped it away.
…
XX hotel.
We booked a room with a big table. Ling Tian, the ten of us from Xue Yue Studio, and a bodyguard filled the table.
Ling Tian took the menu and said with a smile, "Feel free to order, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Today's food and drinks will be paid for by me."
Ling Xue said, "How about a box of 1982 red wine?"
Ling Tian widened his eyes. "Can you even drink it?"
"I can take it away!"
"I'm not even willing to drink it …"
Of course, we didn't order the 1982. We didn't exist back then, so who knew if it was real or not? It was very likely that it was filled in Changping District!
As for ordering the dishes, Ling Xue and Ling Yue didn't hold back and ordered a whole bunch. Qin Yun and I also ordered one each. Ling Tian added a few more dishes, and very soon, a table of delicious food was laid out.
"You can leave. We'll do it ourselves."
Ling Tian sent the waitress away and raised his glass with a smile. "I, Ling Tian, thank you all for your care and support for Bluestar and my two daughters. Come, cheers!"
With a few clinking sounds, the wine was already in his stomach.
The red wine went to their heads, and the girls' faces were bright red after drinking a bit. Ling Tian, on the other hand, was calm and composed. He was clearly a good drinker.
Ling Xue picked up some food for me and said with a smile, "Here, don't be polite. It's imported Marsh Frog meat."
"Frogs are beneficial insects," I said.
Ling Xue smiled. "But you're a pest. It's only natural for pests to eat beneficial insects!"
This explanation was good. I took a bite. As expected, it was soft, creamy, and delicious.
Xia Zhi raised his glass to Ling Tian and said, "Uncle Ling, I heard you're a big shot. Isn't drinking with you a lot of face?"
Ling Tian laughed. "What big shot?
I'm just Ling Yue's father here, Ling Xue. Come, cheers, Miss Zi Yue. "
Xia Zhi rolled her eyes. I endured it!
I drank the wine in one gulp and took away some of my worries.
Ling Tian looked at me and Ling Xue chatting and laughed. He also smiled. His smile was filled with love. Ling Xue's happiness was perhaps the greatest comfort for Ling Tian.
At this time, Ling Tian finally noticed Qin Yun. He raised his glass to Qin Yun and smiled. "You are?
Qin Yun of Shuizhu Corporation, right?
I often hear Ling Yue and Ling Xue mention you. Let me toast you! "
Qin Yun was flattered. She raised her glass and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"Haha …"
A light flashed in Ling Tian's eyes. He smiled and said, "I've heard of Shuizhu Corporation. It's a good advertising company. It has a good reputation in Suzhou. Have you ever thought about joining Bluestar Group?
It just so happens that our Bluestar Group doesn't have our own advertising agency. If Shui Zhu is willing to join, Qin Yun, you will be the branch manager. "
Qin Yun was stunned. She said, "This … is too sudden. Haha …"
Ling Tian smiled. "It doesn't matter. You can think about it. Bluestar's business is spread all over the Jiangnan area. I plan to set up the advertising agency in Zhenjiang. When the time comes, you can go to Zhenjiang to manage it. How about it?"
Qin Yun was stunned. She instantly understood. Ling Tian just wanted to pull her out of Xue Yue Studio!
Ling Tian was Ling Tian. He had already seen through the secret between Qin Yun and me. He actually wanted to quietly get rid of this thread.
Qin Yun was silent for a few seconds. She smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't want to leave Xue Yue Studio for the time being …"
Ling Tian smiled faintly. He knew that he couldn't force her. Thus, he said, "It doesn't matter. How long can a game last?
Maybe two years. Maybe three years. After three years, everyone will have to go their separate ways. I know that the friendship between young people is very precious. So, the people of Xue Yue Studio, if everyone is willing, I will plan your future path. Haha. Don't blame me for taking advantage of my seniority. There are many things that I can see more clearly than you. I also know how to deal with it. "
"Yes!"
Qin Yun smiled and changed the topic. "But that is something that will happen in two or three years. Uncle Ling, you won't have the heart to let us end this precious happy time so quickly, right?"
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, as though he had been countered. He let out a dry laugh and said, "Of course not. If I were to anger Ling Yue and Ling Xue, I wouldn't be happy either. In these two to three years, I won't bother you guys too much."
Qin Yun smiled. "Thank you."
Ling Tian also smiled. "You're welcome."
The hidden daggers in the smile ended. Ling Tian picked up some food for Ling Yue and said that she had lost weight.
Qin Yun looked at me, her expression filled with "That was close". I couldn't help but smile. I couldn't do anything to her. The only thing I could do now was to treat everyone well and then wait for time to change. Maybe someone would leave. Even if no one left, then we would continue to be together. As long as we were happy, it was fine. If we were unhappy, then we would leave. This was a cycle, and it wasn't hard to decide the outcome.
Ling Tian asked, "You didn't meet any strong opponents in the WSL today, right?"
I said, "We met one, a Croatian team. They were very strong."
"Oh?
Did you win? "
"We lost two rounds, but won with a score of 3: 2!"
Ling Tian smiled. "It's good that you won. Whoever lost the two rounds, admit it!"
Bing Cha and Ling Yue stood up at the same time. "We lost. What do you want?"
Ling Tian was stunned. "I don't dare to do anything. Of course, we have to drink as a penalty. Three glasses each, and no swapping grape drinks!"
Ling Yue smiled. "Dad, getting us drunk won't do you any good, right?"
Ling Tian smiled. "It's not good for girls to drink, but you are going to inherit my career in the future. How can you not drink? You have to train first ~"
"Alright, alright!" Ling Yue drank.
Bing Cha didn't move. He said, "I'm not Ling Tian's daughter..."
Ling Tian smiled. "You still have to drink. Do you think I don't know your background?"
Bing Cha said quickly, "Okay, I'll drink!"
He was extremely straightforward and drank three glasses in a row. Then, he hugged Qin Yun with a red face.
…
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. The table was a mess. There was strength in numbers, especially that bodyguard. He couldn't get a word in, so he kept eating. He finished half of the dishes on the table. Ling Tian was dissatisfied. "Xiao Wang, are you a reincarnated hungry ghost? It's as if I didn't let you eat your fill in the past..."
"Hey, CEO, it wasn't this good in the past. This is a rare opportunity!"
"You little brat, let's eat. I'll order two more delicious dishes for you to pack for your girlfriend!"
"Thank you, CEO!"
After paying the bill, Ling Tian patted his pockets. "I'll send you back. I won't be watching the competition tomorrow. I have to fly back to Shanghai."
Ling Xue blinked. "Dad, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ling Tian smiled helplessly. "Can't help it. The competition has been too intense recently. Bluestar's market in Hangzhou has been taken by the Zheng family and the Xu family. This time, I have to work with a strong international business group to suppress them."
"Oh?
International business group? "
Ling Tian smiled. "Yes, GGS Software Group. It's famous both at home and abroad. Our Bluestar has been working with them for more than a year. But recently, they transferred a vice president of the Asia region. She's a young woman, but she's too powerful. I have to think of a way to deal with her. Otherwise, the market that Bluestar has opened up will be taken away by others."
Ling Yue chuckled. "I see. Then we won't keep you here. You can go!"
As she said that, Ling Yue smiled meaningfully. "Dad, that vice president of GGS, is she a beauty?
Are you treating me like … "
Ling Tian immediately interrupted and scolded with a smile, "Of course not. Little girl, you dare to make fun of me?
Hmph hmph, take care of your own matters first. Your father doesn't have the mood to do that right now. Just Lan Xing and you two girls are everything to me. As for the rest, I, Ling Tian, have nothing! "
Ling Xue and Ling Yue both smiled and said sweetly, "The driver can send us there. Dad, rest early. You have to catch a plane tomorrow."
"Yes, okay."
… …
After returning to the China branch of the WSL, the bodyguards also went back to their rooms. I sent the girls back to their rooms and then went back to my room myself. Although I drank, I didn't feel sleepy. I wanted to check the forums first!
On the official forums, the top message was a large WSL with the matchups of the teams!
Also, there was a voting option. It was the probability of each team winning. The details were as follows —
[Godly Forge] Probability of Victory: 12.4%
[Snow Moon] Probability of Victory: 27.5%
[Temple of the Moon] Probability of Victory: 4%
[Brotherhood] Probability of Victory: 6.2%
[Heros] Probability of Victory: 11.1%
[Blue Sky] Probability of Victory: 17.8%
[Soul Battle Robes] Probability of Victory: 2.7%
[Glorious Knight] Probability of Victory: 18.3%
… …
Snow Moon was at the top of the list with 27.5% support, followed by Glorious Knight, Blue Sky and Godly Forge. The American team Heroes was ranked fifth. The other two China teams, Temple of the Moon and The Brotherhood, didn't have high support either. Soul Battle Robes only had a pitiful 2.7% support. It looked like they weren't favored by the majority.
Even so, the quarterfinals tomorrow were bound to be filled with fierce battles. Which team in the quarterfinals wasn't filled with experts?
Even Soul Battle Robes had experts like Seven-star Lamp and Gregory. They were ruthless characters in any main city.
According to the matchups, the first strong opponent we would face on Snow Moon was Godly Forge. After we killed Godly Forge, our next strong opponent might be Heroes. If we killed one more, we would enter the finals. The highest chance of entering the finals was Glorious Knight. However, Blue Sky also had a chance. There were variables everywhere, and it was hard to say what the situation would be like.
But one thing was for sure: the strong would be king!
The final champion of the WSL would definitely be a team that was wise, eloquent, strategic, far-sighted, meritorious, and unswervingly loyal!
Ahem, in short, the champion would be amazing. Teams that weren't good enough would have been trampled by others long ago.
