Chapter 1601
Game
"What tricks did you use to manage to win over someone like Yu Minhong?"
Not long after, Lao Han called Zhang Yuan.
He didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.
After hearing the feedback from the production team, I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Yuan's answer was very concise.
"sincere."
If you know that someone is determined to take the photo and you can't stop them, you might as well find the most suitable one from the available options.
This is the idea that Lao Yu came up with under his guidance.
Putting everything else aside, at least I'm good at English, so I won't embarrass myself.
If he were to play the owner of an English education institution, but his spoken English was terrible, Lao Yu felt he would be laughed at for years to come.
After all, outsiders don't know he opposed it; they might even think he paid for it.
Many foreign biographical film directors also involve the real-life figures in the casting process, trying to find an actor that everyone is satisfied with.
To avoid the subject of the filming becoming angry and verbally abusive during the promotional period after filming, which could negatively impact the work.
Old Han found it amazing.
He managed to handle even such a difficult person.
"I will make time for myself and will let the crew know whenever they need me."
After confidently replying, he dressed up a bit and headed to the Beijing airport to pick up a passenger.
Hello, long time no see.
He met Miss Lian in the garage, who had previously wanted to turn against him.
This girl is dressed quite youthfully; she seems to be aiming for a girl-next-door image.
However, the sneakers she's wearing cost around ten thousand yuan, making her "girl next door" persona seem a bit too high-end.
Once in the car, this person completely changed from their previous attitude on the phone, becoming very friendly and back to their factory settings.
He still agreed with everything he said, either covering his mouth and laughing or making small patting gestures.
The goal is to create the image of a gentle and beautiful young girl, and to take the initiative to act intimately.
She's even more well-behaved than before.
He said he would agree to anything.
Seeing the other party's attitude, he gave up his plan to offer them soy milk.
We went straight to Quanjude.
Although he doesn't think Quanjude is the best roast duck in Beijing, it wouldn't be right for tourists from other places to not visit the restaurant.
"Thank you." The girl took the duck he had rolled up himself, her eyes showing a satisfied expression.
"It's okay, as long as you enjoy your meal."
"Serving you is a pleasure," Zhang Yuan replied kindly.
"You're too kind, I'll feel embarrassed," Miss Lian said, praising the food highly.
After all, when you're in a good mood, you enjoy every meal.
However, whether she's in a good mood or not is up to Zhang Yuan.
When I want her to get better, I will get better myself.
If you want to make her unhappy, then...
For example, right now.
After rolling up a roll for himself, Zhang Yuan mentioned it "unintentionally".
"What a coincidence."
“I met your sister at Yang Tianbao’s party the other day,” he said, observing her as he spoke.
Miss Lian: ...
Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
At this moment, Miss Lian mentally displayed the same expression as the melon stall owner after seeing Liu Huaqiang.
Are you deliberately picking a fight?
I will endure!
It's said that what men love to do most is to lure innocent women into prostitution and persuade them to reform.
It satisfies two major human desires: to be both a demon and a saint.
What gambling dens love to do most is always attract new customers who don't gamble.
Experienced people know when to quit while they're ahead, but newbies are too reckless!
Moreover, casinos make money by taking a cut, at least on the surface.
Large casinos, like those in Macau and Las Vegas, cannot officially set up scams.
Once a major client shows up, they'll never come back.
The more extravagant a place is, the more it needs to demonstrate "fairness".
Since the goal is to generate revenue, the more customers the better.
Ideally, everyone in the world would come and play, which would fulfill the dream of many people on the internet: that everyone in the country would give me one yuan.
Therefore, people from such family backgrounds are most interested in those who don't attend events.
Once inside, you're like a caged bird; you can't escape.
Zhang Yuan was that good bird that refused to go into the cage no matter what.
I've tried everything, but they just won't take the bait.
He thought that by playing hard to get, the other party would surely come looking for him.
They'll fall head over heels for me then.
Unexpectedly, not only did they not respond, but something even more terrifying happened to her.
She got involved with her half-sister.
They even appeared at the same party.
I don't even get this kind of treatment!
The more unattainable something is, the more you want it.
Miss Lian is now a little infatuated with Zhang Yuan.
What was once a calm and composed affair has now turned into a hurried and frantic scramble.
Upon hearing her words, I almost lost control of my expression, something I had cultivated over the years.
"Really?" She pretended to be nonchalant and lowered her head to eat the duck.
However, he bit down much harder than before with his perfectly aligned silver teeth.
It felt like she wanted to bite a person, not a duck.
"Is that person named... Ying your older or younger sister?" Zhang Yuan continued to ask without any regard for propriety.
“A little bit bigger than me,” the girl replied reluctantly.
They then changed the subject by talking about food.
"What's this called? It's so spicy!"
"Mustard cabbage is actually just cabbage pickled with yellow mustard."
He didn't press further, because he had already gotten the answer to what he wanted to confirm from the other party's attitude.
The other party came in a hurry after seeing me spending time with Miss Ying, and may even have been instructed by my mother.
It seems my method is very effective.
Furthermore, judging from their tightly gripping chopsticks and their eagerness to change the subject, this matter has likely made their family very nervous.
After dinner, we took a stroll around the Forbidden City.
He tried to stay hidden, but it's unclear whether he'll be photographed.
But I don't care.
Rumors are circulating that he's going to become a "son-in-law who marries into his wife's family," so there's no harm in confirming it.
The question now is, whose "son-in-law" should he be?
The next day, he took the other party to the training ground of the game team he hadn't seen in a long time, namely the WE team, located in the suburbs of the capital.
Professional players were present for Warcraft 3, StarCraft 1 and StarCraft 2, as well as League of Legends, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike.
They also recruited a large number of youth training players.
I'm here today to sponsor the team's cheerleading.
This girl's family wants to take advantage of him, but I want to take advantage of you guys too.
"Video games, especially esports, are the future trend."
"The number of viewers is increasing at an alarming rate every year."
"I believe it will eventually be elevated to a level second only to traditional sports competitions."
He walked along, introducing the place as he went.
The girl listened very carefully. Although she didn't understand much and didn't play games much, she became interested when she heard that it could make money.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Wang Sicong."
"The owner of Pusi Capital is also the owner of the IG esports team."
In addition to the regular training, today's match was a friendly practice game between IG and WE.
Two years ago, Principal Wang acquired the CCM team and renamed it IG.
Later, the ACE Alliance was organized.
Because of their personal relationship with Zhang Yuan, WE was one of the first teams to respond and join the league, so the two teams have a good relationship.
At this time, IG was incredibly strong thanks to Wang Sicong's heavy investment.
He just won the IEM Singapore championship at the beginning of the year.
Then they won third place in the LPL Spring Split.
The team leader was none other than PDD, who would later become a top gaming streamer in the live streaming era.
In this LPL Spring Split, WE narrowly lost to IG and finished fourth. The two teams are evenly matched, which is why they have the opportunity to train together.
"Hello," the girl waved to the other person.
After glancing at Zhang Yuan and then at Young Master Wang, Miss Lian felt that Zhang Yuan was even more handsome.
Both are gaming team owners, but he doesn't have any nerdy vibes, while the guy opposite him surnamed Wang is a bit greasy, especially when he smiles, he looks somewhat lewd.
“His father is Wang Jianlin, the owner of Wanda Real Estate,” Zhang Yuan whispered in his ear.
It wasn't that sleazy... Miss Lian immediately refreshed the database.
Not only is he not sleazy, but his smile also carries a sense of unbridled interest in money.
Upon learning that the man was the son of a super-rich man, she immediately changed her opinion. Money makes the world go round, and it really can make a man handsome, especially in a woman's eyes.
but.
Miss Lian glanced at Zhang Yuan again.
He's better; he controls his own wealth, not inherited it from his father.
The girl's teeth ached just thinking about inheritance.
Plus, he's handsome.
Girls of this age still care about looks; the more you look at them, the more you like them.
"You're not a model, are you?"
"A minor celebrity?" Wang Sicong glanced at the Macau girl while asking her.
"No."
"Her father is..."
"Oh!" Principal Wang said knowingly.
I thought this girl was alright looking, but her figure was average and she wasn't very tall, so I'd only rate her a 5 out of 10.
Wang Sicong has rather unique tastes; he likes the "internet celebrity" look.
If we narrow it down to celebrities, his favorite is Qi Wei.
This guy later started a variety show called "Xiao Cong Show".
The show only ran for two episodes before it was canceled after Qi Wei appeared as a female guest.
The objective has been achieved...
After learning about the girl's family background, Principal Wang added two points to her score, bringing it to at least 7.5.
Furthermore, the two of them became much warmer and more polite to each other.
Zhang Yuan stood in the middle.
I should be under the car, not here...
It would be great if you two rich kids got together.
However, Si Cong was just being polite; deep down, he looked down on their family.
Just as Zhang Yuan had predicted, the scions of truly wealthy families in mainland China would not marry into their family, especially those who run "legitimate" businesses.
But they won't turn against you, because their products are very "useful".
Especially when it comes to the transfer of wealth.
"Mr. Zhang, would you like to try it yourself?"
"I'm not very good at it." Zhang Yuan didn't really utilize the attributes of LOL much.
I've played StarCraft and Warcraft quite a bit, so my control precision is fine, plus my dynamic vision and reaction speed are excellent.
They just lack game understanding.
"Practice makes perfect; a train runs fast because of its locomotive."
Wang Sicong also personally joined in, with both bosses leading their teams in a game.
Zhang Yuan could only play and loot at the same time.
Young Master Wang has a bad temper, especially a bad tongue.
Especially when playing games.
He was scolded by his own team members.
This wasn't complaining; it was downright cursing.
No one dared to talk back; they just kept the boss entertained.
It wasn't the train leading the way; it was four carriages pushing the locomotive.
Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.
It's okay if I lose, there's no pressure, since I'm not a player anyway.
He also reassured his teammates not to be nervous and not to protect themselves.
Compared to WE, people on IG's side are a little envious.
They're both bosses, so why is there such a big difference in how they treat people?
Even the scallion bear couldn't help but glance at it while playing with it.
It wasn't for peeping or spying.
Instead, he noticed that Miss Lian, who scored 7.5, was sitting obediently next to Zhang Yuan.
They not only cheered him on, but also handed him drinks and applauded him from time to time.
They even have a garlic-peeling girl...
It's something that a bunch of professional players envy.
What the hell!
Being a celebrity must be so awesome.
These guys are just jealous that he has a girl by his side all the time.
Sizong's focus is different.
"How did he manage to make this rich girl from such a family so obedient and compliant?"
"Just sit next to him and patiently watch him play."
What kind of girlfriend do otaku (geeks) want most?
It's someone who can play games with you.
Because most girls, especially these days, have absolutely no interest in esports and video games.
It was only after the advent of mobile games that the number of female players increased.
Si Cong thought to himself that he was so rich, the girls he dated were always obedient to him, and he lived a simple, unpretentious, and boring life as a rich man.
But those girls are too lazy to play games with me, let alone give me any positive feedback. Most of them start yawning and playing on their phones after watching for five minutes.
why?
Why was he able to "train" that girl like that?
Principal Wang is even considering learning from Zhang Yuan.
None of the women around him are sincere; they're all hypocritical.
Why is this girl so sincere?
Wang Sicong is good at using money as a weapon, but it only attracts gold diggers.
At this time, Young Master Wang was still young and longed for love, unlike the cynical and irreverent person he would become later in life.
Seeing the man next to Zhang Yuan practically feeding him grapes, his eyes were practically red.
He relentlessly chased after him, killing him at the same time, and also verbally abused his teammates even more harshly.
"I lost."
After a long while, Zhang Yuan stood up and shook hands with the other party.
At least tearing up the onion was a little more satisfying, allowing him to regain some dignity in the game.
"This doesn't reflect WE's level; it's purely my problem."
"Train hard, everyone. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
“I don’t think you lost.” At this moment, the girl stepped forward: “The most important thing in a game is not the result, but the process.”
"Just like relationships, life is the same." The other person intentionally steered the conversation toward relationships.
“You’re right.” Zhang Yuan went to a corner to chat with the other person.
The girl started talking about how attractive he was when he was focused.
Upon seeing this, Principal Wang's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.
The little flame flickered.
I'm still angry even though I won, but my opponent lost, and judging from the situation, a woman will help him relieve his anger tonight.
"Depend on!"
"These headphones are no good!" The man used a device to release pressure.
He can afford to lose, but this is the first time he's won in such a painful way.
Because winning the game meant losing the competitive edge of being a man.
"Hey……"
It suddenly occurred to him.
That's not right.
I just saw on Weibo a few days ago that he was watching a show with another mother and daughter from the same family, and they were even dancing and laughing happily.
It seems like they're not from the same family, are they?
Si Cong discovered the key point.
This is not simply a matter of feelings.
As a scion of a top-tier wealthy family, with a little thought and access to far more information than the average person, he quickly pieced together the general picture.
"There are benefits to being with either of them."
"But there's also a downside: it might offend another person."
"And it's not certain that we'll make it to the end, so it's like offending everyone."
Shi Cong remained silent.
I sensed that things weren't simple.
His anger subsided, and he decided to observe secretly.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan was chatting enthusiastically with the girl.
If Si Cong can figure it out, then of course he can too.
It's easy to fall into badending.
Therefore, he was extremely careful.
Otherwise, given her current state, the only place she might wake up tomorrow morning is in her own bed.
Fortunately, he wasn't a typical otaku who had cultivated his "unicorn arm" for over twenty years, and he wouldn't be unable to move when he saw a woman.
Besides, what's attracting his attention right now isn't women.
While chatting, his gaze fell on a group of people in a corner of the training base.
And there, a man piqued his interest… (End of Chapter)
