Chapter 507: Rose-Team Building (Part )

Case Seven Rose
The Sixteenth Regiment (Part 1)

Holding a helmet with a wisp of colorful smoke still coming out of it, Shao Jie staggered from the "front-line trench" and "retreat with injuries" back to the "enemy fortress" in the rest area in the rear. He struggled to loosen the tactical vest that was tied so tightly that it was a bit suffocating, and voluntarily "surrendered". He dangled and dropped the pile of CS equipment, including his paintball gun, walkie-talkie, and goggles, on the counter, turned around, took out the mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and glanced at the chat interface with Officer Jiang.

A period indicating approval was placed under the message that DRG Club, on a sudden whim of Manager Xu, had packed up a group of idle members of Team 1 and Team 2 to go out for team-building at the live CS and karting venues.

He asked whether he would leave work on time. The leaving time for his team building was yet to be determined. He had not received any response to his request for what kind of pizza to order for dinner. The salute emoticon just stayed there at 3:30 in the afternoon, half a minute before he was forced to put on a tactical vest by Wen Xi and Cheng Zi, who sandwiched him from both sides.

Shao Jie tapped lightly on the phone case, picked out an emoticon package of someone waiting obediently and placed it in the middle of the dialog box, then raised his head to look at the "battlefield smoke" that was making a lot of noise with monkeys screaming everywhere.

Zhao Zhao's phone kept bombarding Shao Jie's phone with a series of related hot search push notifications.

"Did you see the trending search?"

Zhao Zhao shouted straight to the point, his voice cracking with anxiety, "We haven't investigated Liang Ming's case yet, and now you've leaked the news that the LM Club is suspected of being involved in gambling. No matter who did it, as long as it has something to do with Jiang Weili, as long as there is some love-hate relationship involved, this hat will most likely be put on your head--"

"Jiang Weili's crime is already established. It doesn't matter if I keep this hat on for a few days. The LM Club was originally planning to take advantage of the summer transfer to transfer the qualification quota and players at the market price. Now someone has exposed their true colors..."

Shao Jie moved his phone slightly away and quickly glanced at the push notifications that kept popping up in the message bar. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that Jiang Weili and LM's manager are still drinking tea in the trading room, right? This company has been robbed clean... Is LM's transfer contract being stopped?"

"In recent times, everyone at LM, from the shareholders who invested in the club to the cleaning ladies who worked there, who had the slightest connection with Liang Ming, Jiang Weili, and their manager, was either invited to the city bureau for tea or questioned at the police station. I heard that the contract suspension and operation had been in the works since Jiang Weili was investigated, but it was never made public. Now that Jiang Weili is under police control, the live broadcast and endorsement contracts of the LM club have also been unilaterally suspended..."

Zhao Zhao paused for a moment, then sighed with a bit of regret: "Tsk... the consequences of this sin are now all falling on the heads of those kids who earn their livings by playing in competitions... if this is not handled properly, their careers will probably fall to the ground before they even take off."

Shao Jie thought silently for a while, then he exhaled coldly: "It's not necessary to condemn Jiang Weili and LM's manager for gambling. Liang Ming is the majority shareholder in the cultural industry park. Does Shengcheng International really not intend to take over the operation?"

"Shengcheng International is already involved in a lawsuit. Liang Ji is most likely weighing the importance of Shengcheng Inter-Speed ​​and Cultural Park. In the end, he plans to throw LM away as a pawn. The continued capital injection is still entirely dependent on the profits from unorthodox means. It is estimated that it will be difficult to maintain in the future - it is understandable that he stopped the loss in time."

Zhao Zhao hesitated for a few seconds and said "hmm" in a sullen voice, "Hmm... but... if LM's qualification is cancelled, if those players don't want to miss the summer season, it would be best if they can terminate the contract and restore their free agent status during the contract period, but paying a high penalty... is also a dilemma..." Shao Jie was a little confused, and blinked his eyes with a slight guess, snorted and laughed without directly saying: "Then what?"

Zhao Zhao was not surprised, but asked tentatively: "Are you not going to help? Get involved?"

Shao Jie sneered: "How can I help? Help pay the penalty? My wife doesn't have enough money. Besides, the fate of LM Club, whether it is completely dead or revived, is in Liang Ji's hands. Boss Liang is not my boyfriend, so how can I get involved in this——"

"I can't talk about this business if you don't get involved."

Before Shao Jie finished speaking, Xu Muyang came from behind him with three cans of iced Coke, floating in front of him with a bit of resentment, threw one of the cans into Shao Jie's arms, turned around and sank into the lazy sofa in the rest area: "Liang Ji is standing here, it's really not easy for me to intervene directly."

Shao Jie didn't say anything at first. He heard Zhao Zhaofa on the other end of the phone hang up the phone after selling the boss. He put oil on his feet and slowly let out a breath by picking the pull ring of Coke. He looked at Xu Muyang's expression meaningfully, which didn't seem to be impulsive. He drooped his eyelids and thought for two seconds, and then tactfully changed the subject, "Old Huo can't control your relationship, I won't join in the fun."

"Stop playing dumb here. I know what's going on with relationships. It won't be your turn no matter who it is."

Xu Muyang squinted at him, frowned and muttered something like "hesitation", tightened his lips and slightly raised the corners of his mouth before continuing slowly: "I'm asking about the young people signed by LM now. I did ask Liang Ji, the secretary, about the situation of Liang Ming's company investing in LM Club... But from what she said, Liang Ji didn't intend to handle it at all, saying that it would be handed over to the supervisor under his command, and Liang Ming's personal investment industry would probably have to go through the group's board of directors... By the time those shareholders who are usually invisible figure out the matter of this game club, it will be too late."

Shao Jie pointed out the point and caught Xu Muyang's unintentional gossip with a hint of meaning: "You didn't go directly to Mr. Liang? Why did you ask his secretary for information?"

"Coke can't stop you from talking."

Xu Muyang raised his eyes, ignoring Shao Jie's teasing, scratched his hair irritably and sighed: "It's hard to do things with acquaintances. I can't negotiate terms with him... and now these small matters are basically handled by his secretary. It's more efficient to ask her."

Xu Muyang couldn't even listen to himself anymore and laughed so hard that he lost all his strength. He tilted his head and looked at Shao Jie's expression as still as a mountain, with his eyebrows slightly raised.

"When you were trying to gather evidence to expose Jiang Weili, didn't you consider the other contestants? That's not like you."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
"The sun shines through the pine trees and snow, and the streams and mountains are filled with evening breeze."
