Chapter 77 Part 2 一 A Weibo post became a trending topic.
Gu Min founded a film and television company abroad, specializing in commercial films, and it did quite well. The information sent by Wen Juxi showed that he had a good friend from his college days, and the two of them collaborated to create the company. In the business field, no one understood him better than Gu Min’s partner.
Ruan Yōu closed her phone and leaned back in the chair, quietly looking at the scenery outside the car window.
A three-year sentence is too short.
She wanted to ensure that Gu Min would never have a chance to turn things around.
Outside the car window, birds fluttered in panic, soaring into the sky amidst the blaring horns.
Ruan Yōu pursed her lips, her beautiful brows furrowing tightly.
In the novel, Gu Fuchen, Ruan Liuyu, and Gu Youqian were like birds trapped in a cage by Gu Min, waiting for death to come in despair every day.
The car interior fell silent for a moment.
Lu Xuan was seriously contemplating her resume. Fu Jiazhan glimpsed Ruan Yōu’s tense face through the rearview mirror.
She turned her head to gaze intently at the scenery outside the window, her almond-shaped eyes losing their color, filled with heaviness and solemnity.
Fu Jiazhan couldn’t help but steal several glances at her, his eyes deep, and he pressed a button.
Soon, soothing piano music flowed through the car.
Slowly, like a gentle breeze in March, it softly brushed over the wrinkles and heaviness on Ruan Yōu’s forehead.
Gu Fuchen remained focused on driving and didn’t notice what was happening behind.
He said in a calm tone, “This music is nice, quite conducive to relaxation.”
In the soothing piano music, the car traveled down a quiet path, made a few turns, and finally caught sight of the shadow of the RG Club’s base.
. . . . .
The team manager and other members heard that the boss was coming today and would bring a new member along. They excitedly gathered at the base’s entrance, sneakily peeking outside, leaning forward, and trying hard to catch a glimpse of the road from the base.
As soon as a vehicle passed by, everyone’s expectations were instantly at their peak.
A discreet black business car appeared in the team manager’s sight.
“It’s coming, it’s coming, it must be the boss.”
The car stopped at the base’s entrance, and the team manager approached with a smile.
Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, and Lu Xuan got out of the car. The team manager greeted them with a smile, then paused for two seconds, looking back but not seeing another car. He asked in surprise, “Boss, didn’t you say you were bringing an intern as Weibo manager today?”
Ruan Yōu replied, “I brought her.”
The team manager looked in silence at the three heirs of the top wealthy families who could buy the base and the team at will. His heart trembled, shocked for a moment, and his trembling finger pointed towards Gu Fuchen and Fu Jiazhan.
“Them..?”
一一Holy sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, no way, it can’t be them!!!
一一No, no, no, please! This isn’t an intern, these are living legends!
一一The heirs of two top wealthy families wouldn’t come to intern in a place like this, right?
As for Lu Xuan, the team manager hadn’t even considered it.
The little princess’s life was already filled with indulgence, so how could she come for an internship?
Compared to Lu Xuan, the team manager even thought Ruan Chenchen was more likely.
Ruan Chenchen couldn’t let go of his younger sister and wanted to intern at his sister’s company for two months. This ultimate siscon goofball could actually do it.
“Not them.”
The team manager let out a sigh of relief, looking relaxed and content as if to say, “I’ve come back to life.”
Alright, the interns are still behind, it doesn’t have to be one of them.
Now, there’s already a young master from the Qi family in the team, and this little temple of theirs can’t hold two big Buddhas.
Just when his heart had settled down, Ruan Yōu’s words made his heart skip three hundred times.
“Not them, it’s her.” Ruan Yōu pointed in the direction of Lu Xuan.
The team manager looked in the direction of Lu Xuan as indicated by Ruan Yōu.
Little Princess Lu Xuan flashed him a brilliant and proud smile.
一一Yes, that’s right, this princess is here.
The team manager’s legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, her voice sweet and crisp: “What’s with that expression? Don’t you want me to come?”
“No, no, no, welcome, very welcome.” The team manager forced out a smile, trembling as he hugged the male team leader’s shoulder. With the support of the team leader, he staggered into the base.
The news that Little Princess Lu Xuan was coming to intern as a Weibo manager for the RG team spread throughout the entire club within five minutes.
The e-sports players who had just finished their practice matches came out of the training room, heard the news, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Qi Nuo.
Qi Nuo paused, furrowing his brows slightly, and a few seconds later, he quickly walked towards the RG hall.
Ruan Yōu, Lu Xuan, and, sure enough, Gu Fuchen and Fu Jiazhan were there together.
Ruan Yōu waved to Qi Nuo, “Qi Nuo, come here, let me introduce you to a new colleague.”
As she spoke, all the members of the RG team gathered around.
Ruan Yōu, Lu Xuan, Gu Fuchen, and Fu Jiazhan stood in the middle, with Ruan Yōu smiling and pointing in the direction of Lu Xuan. She said, “New year, new atmosphere. In this new atmosphere, we are here to introduce a new employee to everyone. Let’s give a warm welcome to our new Weibo celebrity, Lu Xuan, who has over five million followers and has been receiving excellent engagement on her recent posts.”
Applause erupted.
Impressive.
Truly impressive.
Usually, a Weibo influencer with these kinds of numbers could have their own team, but now, they were going to work with them as a low-level Weibo manager intern. Just thinking about it, they can’t help but feel aggrieved for the little princess.
This wasn’t a backdoor.
It was Ruan Yōu, the boss, who used backdoor to bring this god-like figure to their club.
Lu Xuan smiled gracefully and said, “I’m very happy to work with everyone. Let’s do our best from now on!”
Lu Xuan is good looking and has a great personality. She’s also the heiress of the Top Wealthy Family. Working with the heiress is the happiest thing, isn’t it?
The applause in the room became even more enthusiastic.
As it turns out, the employees of Ruan Yōu’s company are the happiest people!
The employees of the elderly care community can stay for free and receive lifelong care. The employees of Everyday Taking Down Entertainment Company slack off every day, yet unexpectedly make a lot of money and earn the boss’s favor. The members of their RG team have been working diligently until now, without retirement benefits or the privilege to slack off, but their club is undoubtedly the most prestigious company.
The young master of the Qi family and the little princess of the Lu family, both members of the Top Wealthy Families, are here. When this amazing lineup appears, who else can compete with them?
It’s so shameless to say it out loud.
In the past, they used to boast about their work, saying, “I work for one of Fortune Global 5001 company.”
Now, when they brag about their work, they say, “I work for Ruan Yōu’s e-sports company.”
One sentence, kill everyone instantly!
After a brief introduction to Lu Xuan about her joining the company, the team manager didn’t miss the opportunity to talk to Boss Ruan Yōu.
Since the club moved to Marysue City, Ruan Yōu has only visited twice. The last time was to pick up Qi Nuo for a variety show, and this time was to send Lu Xuan for her job. Both times had nothing to do with the company’s business.
In fact, before the New Year, the team manager wanted to invite Ruan Yōu to visit the team, record a New Year’s blessing video as a fan benefit. But unfortunately, Ruan Yōu was too busy, enjoying her life, and had no time to come over.
Now that they finally caught her, the team manager naturally wanted to seize this golden opportunity. He stood in front of Ruan Yōu with a smile and said, “Boss, it’s just after the New Year, and we’ve been working hard for five days. Last time, when we gave them New Year’s red envelopes, the members said it didn’t mean much if it wasn’t given by the boss. Today, since you’re here, can you hand out the red envelopes? It’s to wish them good luck this year and to win the championship!”
Realizing the situation, the team manager quickly added, “It’s not about making you give out the red envelopes. We’ve already prepared them. We just want the boss to personally give them and wish them a prosperous year and success in winning the championship!”
It’s about encouraging the boss to motivate the employees.
The RG team is different from elderly care community and entertainment company. In the coming year, the RG team will undoubtedly face great challenges.
Now, their club is well-known, with Ruan Yōu as the boss, a strong jungler Qi Nuo, and a newly hired Weibo Manager Little Princess. They have gained a lot of fame. If their performance doesn’t match their current reputation and popularity, fans will criticize them, and the e-sports circle will mock them.
The pressure was intense.
The team manager hoped that Ruan Yōu could motivate them.
Ruan Yōu understood, took the red envelope from the employees, and distributed one to each member.
When it was the turn of the five starting members and the five substitute players in the e-sports team, Ruan Yōu spoke particularly seriously, saying, “Let’s work hard in the coming year. I think this should be your best opportunity.”
She handed a red envelope to Sanjiu and said, “Fighting!”
Sanjiu nodded enthusiastically.
Ruan Yōu handed the last red envelope to Qi Nuo and said, “You can definitely make it to the finals. I’ll bring Qi Zhiyan to watch your match together.”
She would sit with Qi Zhiyan at the final’s venue, cheering along with thousands of people, applauding and cheering for them.
Lu Xuan smiled and said, “Qi Nuo will definitely make it.”
The younger brother Qi Nuo was good-looking and serious in his work, completely different from the little puppy she had known before.
He had great looks and a stubborn personality.
In a strangely adorable way.
Lu Xuan’s eyes lit up as she turned to look at Qi Nuo. Her round eyes were big and bright, and she said to Qi Nuo solemnly, “If you can make it to the finals, I’ll hang a long banner at the entrance and inside the finals venue with the words 一一 ‘Qi Nuo Qi Nuo, The strongest and the softest talker in the universe2.'”
Lu Xuan clenched her fists cutely and playfully shook them at Qi Nuo, saying, “Fighting~!”
Don’t let her supportive words go to waste~
Qi Nuo pursed his lips, and an unnatural blush appeared on his delicate face.
“Who needs this kind of banner!”
You’re the one who’s the softest talker.
Qi Nuo walked away with a stern expression.
Lu Xuan clicked her tongue and looked back angrily, wanting to call this disobedient little brother over and scold him. If she said she wanted that banner, she wanted it!
Her gaze followed Qi Nuo’s departing figure, and as she continued to watch, her expression grew more serious.
“Why are you looking so seriously?” Ruan Yōu approached, placing her head next to Lu Xuan’s and following her gaze.
Lu Xuan felt a bit embarrassed for the first time.
“Don’t you think that little brother has a pretty good figure?”
The club had the heater on at 26 degrees, and Qi Nuo was only wearing a T-shirt. Despite that, his figure was still tall and attractive.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and a confident stride.
Ruan Yōu took a quick look.
“Not bad.”
She wasn’t interested in this little brother’s looks.
After sending out the red envelopes, Lu Xuan followed the operations team leader to learn about the company’s basic situation, office area, and the daily tasks of the operations staff.
Lu Xuan was a social butterfly, and Ruan Yōu didn’t worry about her.
She only worried about herself.
Next, she had to film a New Year video and say some good words about how she hoped the team would perform in the coming year.
When the team manager and the video production staff came over to prepare to film a New Year’s greeting video for Ruan Yōu, they noticed the two big bosses sitting nearby.
The two big bosses were sitting on the sofa in the lounge, with elegant and upright posture, each reading a magazine to pass the time.
It felt like they were waiting for their sisters or wives to finish work.
The team manager didn’t dare to think too much, but he didn’t miss the opportunity to involve the two big bosses.
“Boss, since the two big bosses are here, can we ask them to record a message too? It would be a great show of our team’s strength.”
Many e-sports clubs invite well-known celebrities or athletes to record a message of support before the finals or after the New Year. Sharing these videos adds prestige and interaction with fans, and it’s a way to attract some extra attention.
It’s an annual activity that the operations team must prepare for.
Ruan Yōu nodded enthusiastically.
