Chapter 624 Shocked! Encountering the Ji Family! (2)

He abruptly looked up, his words tangled for the first time. "Miss Si, why would you trust me? We've only met once, not even for five minutes. What if I betray you?"

It was during those brief five minutes that Si Fuqing purchased a base.

"I could choose not to trust you," Si Fuqing said, her tone light as a breeze, "but I believe in your dreams. Your eyes told me you would never give up on them."

Something seemed to slam against his chest and heart, sending a numbing sensation through his limbs, his blood boiling with passion.

Jing Zhou took a deep breath. "Yes, Miss Si, you can believe in my dreams."

Yet Si Fuqing had helped him so much, and he had nothing to return.

"If you want to repay me, then win the OPL championship," Si Fuqing said, seeing through his thoughts. "I really need the money."

Jing Zhou was momentarily stunned, his gaze solidifying. "I will!"

"Good." Si Fuqing made an OK gesture. "I'll go call Lightning over. He's been rather free lately, let him train with you. I'm off."

After seeing off Si Fuqing, Jing Zhou turned around. "Isn't Miss Si quite popular right now? As the spokesperson for Oracle, she must have a hefty sum of endorsement fees. Why is she like this..."

"I'm not sure," Nian Yi'an frowned. "But it seems like Sister Qingqing has donated a lot to charity foundations, leaving her with little liquid funds."

Jing Zhou was taken aback. "I never imagined someone like Miss Si existed in the entertainment industry..."

Back when his team Five States hadn't been crushed by the Ji family, he had played friendly matches with several celebrities in Sijiu City.

He knew then what it felt like to be looked down upon.

"Jing Zhou, don't worry, with Sister Qingqing here, we'll definitely make it to the finals," Nian Yi'an patted his shoulder. "She can do anything."

"Right." Jing Zhou remembered something. "Miss Si told me to start training with you first. Are you free now? Let's go into a duel."

Nian Yi'an: "..."

Why is it always him who gets hurt?

After leaving the training base, Si Fuqing went to Yu Xiheng's villa nestled among the trees.

On the sofa, the man was reading a book.

Dressed in a white loungewear, the soft light dimmed the fierceness in his brows, softening his features.

"Boss, my team is all set up," Si Fuqing peered over playfully. "I've recruited a young genius with incredible hand speed. Tangtang told me she just wants to watch and won't be competing."

"Hm, you decide on the numbering," Yu Xiheng looked up. "Come to me for reimbursement for the equipment."

"Boss, we're definitely not going to lose out," Si Fuqing began counting on her fingers. "Being in the top ten of the OPL selection means at least a million, entering the finals brings ten million, and making it to the top eight is fifty million."

"Winning the championship could bring in at least three to four hundred million."

Hearing the word "we," Yu Xiheng's eyebrows twitched slightly. "You could switch to finance."

Si Fuqing thought about her own weekend plans, contemplating a new outfit but ultimately decided to stick to her T-shirt and jeans.

To save money.

"Charge it," Si Fuqing slapped her card on the counter, full of vigor. "And add a tie, the best one."

She still had some savings, enough for a suit.

The shop assistant, still in a daze, automatically processed the transaction.

She watched them leave in a dazed state, finally asking herself, "Who is the boss?"

The male assistant was equally confused, "By title, it's that gentleman, but financially, it's the lady... so it must be the lady? Not sure which family they're from, but their aura is impressive."

The female assistant had an epiphany.

The games the wealthy plays were beyond her comprehension.

Perhaps it was just a kind of fetish.

Saturday was the offline meetup for Oracle players, invitation-only.

Sunday was open to all, featuring cosplayers and voice actors.

As the spokesperson, Si Fuqing was naturally present.

Many players, initially hesitant, rushed over from across the country upon hearing that Si Fuqing would be there.

The players exchanged excited whispers.

"My goddess is amazing, right? Look at that beauty, and her gaming skills. Fanning her is so worth it."

"I must get her autograph later. It's my first time being a fan of a celebrity. I need that signed photo."

Here, Ji Longtai led Ji Qingyao into the venue.

He hadn't expected so many people, the place was packed.

"Let's not waste time here," Ji Longtai checked the time. "President Ji should have just landed. We'll meet him directly."

Ji Qingyao remained indifferent.

Just then, the crowd began to buzz with excitement.

"She's here!"

"Ah, my wife, look at me!"

"My dear Qingqing!"

Ji Longtai, who was about to leave, glanced at the stage nonchalantly.

That glance made his brows furrow instantly, "Qingyao, doesn't this female celebrity look a lot like your younger sister?"
