Chapter 508: Rose-Team Building (Part )

Case Seven Rose
The Sixteenth Regiment (Part 2)

"Take me as a saint? I don't have any interest in saving all living beings. Besides, I was generous enough not to dwell on the incident when Jiang Weili relied on his prestige and status to come to our lounge to provoke and show off his power... But you, Manager Xu, don't seem like someone who would be so kind for no reason..."

The taste of carbonated bubbles burst out and stuck to the teeth. Shao Jie smiled lightly, as if he had no likes or dislikes for the few "minions" who had once belonged to the "enemy camp". He shook the Coke can a little, looked at Xu Muyang's eyebrows that did not intend to hide his ulterior motives, and raised his eyes slightly.

"Just tell me what you want to do."

"I want to take over." Xu Muyang was probably waiting for Shao Jie to make his words clear. He straightened up from the lazy sofa. "But now the entire LM club is under risk. I need to know who has a clean hand now."

Shao Jie raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Sister Zhao tell you?"

"It's okay to leak a few rumors, but after all, my relationship with Liang Ji is not completely over. If there is any, she can't say it too clearly..." Xu Muyang curled his lips and leaned closer. "It shouldn't be a problem for Boss Shao to find out the details of these people, right?"

"The question is how are you going to take over?"

Shao Jie raised his hand to stop Manager Xu from winking at him, his tongue slowly rolling over the edge of his molars, "...Since you asked sincerely, I'll just say it first. It's not a problem to help those players with clean hands to get qualified for the competition. Sheng'an has been trying to do e-sports related industries in the past two years. As long as the support channel is still there, as long as someone is willing to lend a hand, it won't be difficult to keep such a place in the competition. The organizer of the event doesn't want to blame Jiang Weili and Liang Ming's "personal behavior" on the LM Club. After all, if it's not handled properly, this matter will become a big deal and will lead to a credit crisis for the entire organizer. The problem is that Boss Liang clearly wants to earn a penalty and lay off the players on the spot."

"If this difficult and complicated case is not handled properly, then everything else will be in vain." Xu Muyang's expression fell for a moment, and he sighed helplessly, "No matter how much you go around, you can't avoid Liang Ji."

"And..." Shao Jie lifted the Coke can slightly, "Manager Xu, you have to be honest with me, who do you want?"

"LM Club's former data analyst and BP coach, as well as the guys from the second team, I heard they will be promoted to the first team after the summer transfer. If we can get them while their prices are low, we'll make a lot of money in the winter transfer."

Xu Muyang never concealed his ambitions, his eyebrows fluttered and raised, "The other branches of LM may also be forced to disband, and we just happen to need reinforcements. If I can negotiate and win the contract for this part, I should be able to have a seat in the operation of the entire DRG club."

"Work hard so you don't have to go home to inherit the family fortune?" Shao Jie laughed for a moment, clapped his hands and nodded in applause, then suddenly asked, "What benefit can I get?"

Xu Muyang appreciated Shao Jie's straightforward tone. He snapped his fingers and took out his mobile calculator. "As long as you can come up with a plan, Boss Shen would be happy to get involved. But frankly speaking, the risk is too great to bear alone. If you sell off some of your shares, the annual membership fee can be divided into dividends, which should be enough to make some money."

Shao Jie glanced at Xu Muyang, who had obviously already inquired about the calculator for the purchase price of the LM Club. He subtly felt that he seemed to be dragged into the mud by the nose, and laughed at himself, "Can you convince Shen Yu?"

"The big boss just wants to make money." Xu Muyang shrugged his shoulders, looked down at Shao Jie's shrinking Coke can, and raised his own to knock it against it, "Boss Shao, do you want to consider it?"

"My personal name... I'm afraid it's not possible." Shao Jie came forward with a can of Coke. "When investigating Jiang Weili, there was a flow of money in my company's account related to him. For Boss Shen, it's not 'clean' enough. But if Manager Xu can convince Liang Ji to hold down the penalty, and wait until the police issue documents unrelated to match-fixing, I can help Boss Shen find a sucker and spend money with him for fun."

Xu Muyang thought for two seconds, nodded in agreement with Shao Jie's suggestion, stood up from the lazy sofa in a somewhat cowardly manner, took two steps and then turned back, handed the unopened can of Coke under the armpit of Huo Ke who was strolling down the "front line", reached out to Shao Jie, and then said seriously, "It's a deal." Shao Jie was surprised at her sudden turn around, and took Xu Muyang's hand to test his sincerity, and coaxed him to walk away. When they were only three or five meters away, Xu Muyang made a hesitant comeback with a hoarse sound, raised his hand to cover the intercom microphone of Coach Huo who was wearing a public frequency headset and came down to drink a sip of water with "slightly injured", and asked Shao Jie an additional question in a deep voice.

"It was really not you who broke the news about the LM Club and Liang Ming online today?"

The live CS venue was a long way from the city. Xu Muyang checked out and left the venue ahead of the rest of the group. He drove distractedly, and when he slowly stepped on the accelerator and turned the car into the parking lot of the base park, it was already pitch black at night.

It was not a quiet time of night, as only half of the street lights in the parking lot were on. The blackout curtains had long been drawn on the floors where other branches of the base were located. Only a few inconspicuous rays of light leaked into the entire building, dimly spilling onto the parking lot floor under the eaves.

The base elevator was temporarily shut down for maintenance. The message was sent in the administrative group at 3 pm, and the protective fence had not been removed until this time. Xu Muyang sent a voice message to Xiao Chen from the administration, and after hearing Xiao Chen's reply "waiting for parts to be replaced" while chasing the commuter car against the wind, he hurriedly reminded her to be careful when riding a shared bicycle, turned around, sighed, and lingered to squeeze into the stairwell where the sensor light flickered.

There were not many people on the dormitory floor at this time, and only the lights in the kitchen and restaurant were on in the corridor. Xu Muyang hung his head and slowly flipped through the hot search page that was still raging. He turned and went into the restaurant to take a few bags of snacks back, but his peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of a dark figure in the depths of the corridor. He was half a beat slow to react and slipped into the restaurant and turned around to the middle of the corridor, staring at the figure who was measuring the nails on the wall in the dark, blinked, and asked uncertainly: "Liang Ji?"

"What about the painting on the nail?"

Liang Ji slowly turned his head and smiled gently in the shadows: "You said you would give me a gift before... why did you put it up and then take it back?"

"Shao - these kids in the base don't know how to appreciate it. It's a waste to keep it here, so I'll take it back."

Xu Muyang didn't come forward, but just watched Liang Ji standing motionless in front of her dormitory door from a distance: "Why are you here?"

"Secretary Li told me that you called to inquire about the LM Club."

Liang Ji sighed, "Is there something we can't talk about face to face? Do we have to go through some company procedures? Then do I have to leave an appointment at the front desk next time I want to see you?"

"Public is public and private is private. Moreover, LM Club is the project invested by Liang Ming, so we have to be clear about face."

Xu Muyang frowned slightly for a moment and sighed in embarrassment.

"If we really want to talk about it, Liang Ji, I'd like to hear why you pushed Liang Ming step by step... into this irreversible situation?"

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
