Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 410 Extra if the young e-sports boy will not meet a white, rich and beautiful classmate (Part 6000) ( words)
Songdo Convention Center is a landmark building in Incheon. Its appearance is a bit like the Sydney Opera House in Australia. It has the largest column-free space in Asia and is next to Incheon Central Park. Many Korean groups' albums, music videos and performances are shot there.

The reason why I know so much is because Lu Mingfei’s former teammates have played games in Songdo International Convention Center.

There are many five-star hotels in Incheon, but only the Gyeongwonjae Hotel next to the Songdo International Convention Center can enjoy this view. Every room on the executive floor of the hotel can take in this view... Although there are many similar buildings in China, there is nothing good to see.

However, Lu Mingfei was still shocked by the huge garden in front of Gyeongwonjae Hotel. It was the first time he knew that there was a hotel with a garden.

"Isn't that wronging you, Mr. Lu?" In the hotel lobby, the little goddess took the room card from the exquisite receptionist and handed it to Lu Mingfei. The presidential suite on the executive floor.

"So expensive?" Lu Mingfei glanced at the house price list on the wall and said subconsciously.

"It's okay. I'm a black diamond member of the Accor Group, so I get a discount when I stay there. The quality of their hotel services and facilities is average, but the food is not so good. If I have time, I usually eat out."

Lu Mingfei looked at the room card in his hand and was a little hesitant. He knew that the little goddess was always generous and would not talk too much about things that could be solved with money, but he still didn't expect that his old classmate would be so generous to him and give him a presidential suite in a five-star hotel. This made him feel a little uneasy that he was not getting something for nothing.

"How about... change it to a cheaper one for me?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head. In his heart, he didn't really want to take advantage of the little goddess. Although he was treated to McDonald's and KFC by Su Xiaoqiang many times in high school, staying in a presidential suite worth tens of thousands of yuan a night was still a little different. How could he deserve the same level of treatment as the little goddess?

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand impatiently: "I'm too lazy to move you to a cheaper floor. I'll have to go up and down the stairs to call you when we go to Busan tomorrow. It's better to just book the room next door. It's more convenient and it won't cost much more anyway."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the driver, assistant and bodyguard beside the little goddess, and thought, don't these people also live in ordinary rooms? Just let them call me no.

However, after three years in college and one year of playing professionally, Lu Mingfei's emotional intelligence is much higher than before, and he knows that there are some things that can be avoided. He still remembers that on his first day of high school, Su Xiaoqiang kissed his shoes with his jade feet because he was too talkative, and the little goddess remembered him for three years. Now that he is a college student, he naturally cannot repeat the same mistakes.

“Okay.” Lu Mingfei put the room card in his pocket. For some reason, he suddenly felt guilty that he was a gigolo.

There is a special elevator on the executive floor that allows users to swipe their cards to go upstairs. Lu Mingfei followed the little goddess into the transparent elevator. After a brief feeling of weightlessness, the elevator stopped at the executive floor. Lu Mingfei picked up the room card and was about to find his room when Su Xiaoqiang put his hands on his hips and raised his hand to let Lu Mingfei follow him: "This way."

"How did you know it was here?"

"What do you think? Your room is right next to mine. You just got caught in the rain, so go back to your room and take a shower. I'll call you for dinner after I finish my work here. If you're going out, remember to let me know so I can find you later."

Su Xiaoqiang wore a slim-fitting black look suit, and gave orders to Lu Mingfei like a female CEO without any fuss. She didn't even turn her head while speaking, and walked with great temperament, leaving a gust of fragrance in front of Lu Mingfei.

Feeling the anger of the female president Xiao Tiannv, Lu Mingfei unconsciously felt suppressed and had to answer yes repeatedly behind Xiao Tiannv like a male assistant who was living off her.

He suddenly remembered the time when he and Su Xiaoqiang were in high school. They were like this at that time, doing group work together, or dancing ballroom dance together, and he completely obeyed Su Xiaoqiang's instructions.

When Su Xiaoqiang asked him to take his left foot, he took his left foot. When Su Xiaoqiang asked him to hold her waist and spin around, he held her waist and spin around. In the end, he danced so hard that he almost fell to the ground, performing a classic plot in a romantic comedy.

After so many years, Lu Mingfei seemed to still have the muscle memory from that time, as if it had become a conditioned reflex.

"That's all for now. See you at dinner." Su Xiaoqiang raised her eyebrows and waved to Lu Mingfei at the door. The light in the corridor outlined the curve of her beautiful profile.

"Okay, okay, see you at dinner." Lu Mingfei smiled politely and waved.

The door closed with a click, and Lu Mingfei finally returned to his room carrying his suitcase.

The decorations were full of bourgeois corruption, and even the TVs on the wall were high-end Sony models. I don't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Although the black driver sent me to the wrong place, I met the little goddess I hadn't seen for a long time, and I didn't have to squeeze into the big bunk bed in the youth hostel with my teammates.

Lu Mingfei thought that if his teammates knew that the room he stayed in cost tens of thousands of dollars a night, they would definitely scold him for being shameless and giving himself to a rich woman, and ask him if he had the contact information of the rich woman's best friend.

He put down his suitcase and took out some clothes to change into. While the bathtub was running, Lu Mingfei sat by the bathtub and called the team leader to report his situation.

As expected, the team leader flew into a rage when he heard that Lu Mingfei was sent to Incheon by a black driver. If it were any other team members, they would have probably been scolded by the team leader.

However, Lu Mingfei is the team's core player, and the team leader's attitude towards him is somewhat better, but there is still some coldness in his words, implying that it will be Lu Mingfei's responsibility if the game is not played well.

Speechless, the leader also hired the black taxi for cheap, but in the end he was made to take the blame. It is clear that the leader dared not do anything in the team, and his only job was to order takeout for the team members.

Lu Mingfei sighed, took off all his clothes and went into the bathroom. The jacuzzi was filled with water and could accommodate three people lying face to face.

He opened his arms and poked his head out of the water, with a towel on his head like he was in a sauna.

The bathroom was semi-transparent, and on his right hand side was a full-length one-way French window. Lying in the bathtub, he could see the scenery of Incheon. It was not yet dark, and not far away in his field of vision was the recently completed Songdo International Convention Center. From his angle, the convention center looked a bit like a pineapple bun cut into several pieces and placed on a platter.

Maybe he is really hungry now, and all the adjectives he can think of are related to food. When he smells the perfume sprayed on the little angel, he feels that it has a tropical fruity smell.

This hotel even thoughtfully prepared bath toys. Lu Mingfei casually took out a little yellow duck from the cabinet next to him and placed it on the water.

"I don't know when to have dinner." Lu Mingfei said to himself.

He was blowing bubbles in the water, and the little yellow duck was floating up and down.

……

However, he didn't have to wait long for the dinner time he had been looking forward to. After taking a shower, changing his clothes, and just blowing his hair dry, the little angel came knocking on his door.

It was not yet six o'clock, and I don't know if it was because he knew Lu Mingfei was starving, so he deliberately moved the meal time forward.

The two took the elevator downstairs. The little girl seemed to be very busy with her business. It seemed that she had done a lot of business and didn't even have time to go out for dinner.

The elevator dinged and stopped at the restaurant floor. Two people sat down somewhere near the window.

Su Xiaoqiang should have taken a shower. She changed out of her powerful black look and put on a casual outfit. She wore a simple three-quarter sleeve light-colored top under a light-colored knitted sweater jacket. Her crystal-clear feet were stepping on the hotel's disposable wool slippers, looking lazy and intellectual. The ends of her long, smooth hair that slid down from her shoulders were still a little undried.

The little goddess dressed in casual clothes looked a bit like a schoolgirl, and her aura that kept people at a distance was immediately weakened. Or if nothing unexpected happened, she should still be studying, and a well-known high-class beauty, like Liu Miaomiao.

"Are we the only two?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Well, it's just the two of us."

"What about the employees under you, your assistant and driver?"

"Oh, they should have eaten. I don't have a fixed meal time. I usually have to wait until I finish the work at hand before I eat. So I told them to eat by themselves when it's time to eat, and they don't need to call me. I usually eat alone." The little angel asked in a flat tone.

"I heard that eating at irregular times is bad for the stomach." Lu Mingfei remembered the popular science on the online news.

"It's none of your business." Su Xiaoqiang glanced at him with his beautiful eyes, then shrugged and said, "I can't do anything about it. You know that work requires continuous thinking. It's just like when you write a math problem, you have to finish it in one go. If you take a break halfway through, you have to rethink your thinking when you look back at the problem."

Su Xiaoqiang lowered his head and flipped through the menu. Lu Mingfei held his chin with his hand, looking at the surrounding decorations, and then staring at the beautiful face of the little angel with boredom.

Does the little angel have to wear perfume even when she goes out for a simple meal? Lu Mingfei thought to himself in a bored way. He smelled the nice tropical fruit scent again.

"I've finished ordering here, and I don't know what you like to eat, so you can order whatever you want. Don't be polite with me."

Lu Mingfei was still looking at Su Xiaoqiang, who had already raised his head, ready to hand the menu to Lu Mingfei. Without warning, their eyes suddenly met in mid-air.

Lu Mingfei didn't react for a while, and stared at the little goddess in a daze, until the other party blinked her eyes for some inexplicable reason. Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he seemed a little rude, and immediately looked away guiltily.

"Let me see, let me see." Lu Mingfei quickly tried to make up for what he hadn't said. It seemed that this would be the only way to ease the awkwardness of the situation.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't seem to mind at all, and naturally handed the menu to Lu Mingfei who was sitting opposite him. The magnificence of the five-star hotel restaurant is naturally unquestionable, the only thing that needs to be questioned is the food. Fortunately, the Chinese menu provided by the hotel is not all kimchi and bibimbap, there are always normal dishes.

Lu Mingfei casually ordered steak, pasta and cream of mushroom soup. Although he wanted to order the roasted pork elbow on another page, he thought that it would be a bit indecent to eat with his school beauty classmate while holding the pork elbow, so he could only give up silently.

"Just deal with it casually in the hotel restaurant tonight."

After the waiter left, Su Xiaoqiang said, "I'll take you out for a good meal after I finish my business in Korea.

"The hotel restaurant is quite good." Lu Mingfei replied with a smile. He did not take the little goddess' words seriously.

This is probably a kind of courtesy. Just like when he took the subway to Shanghai to find bosses to attract investment for the team, the bosses would always say yes, yes, they will talk about it in detail next time. It was the same when classmates gathered together, saying that they would hang out together next time.

But this "next time" rarely came. Apart from the time he met Zhao Menghua and the Xu brothers in a pizza restaurant during his sophomore summer vacation, Liu Miaomiao had only called him out a few times.

Later, a financial company from his hometown injected some capital into the team, which prevented the team from disbanding and managed to survive for another half a year.

It took a while for the dishes to come out. The waiter brought the appetizer bread provided by the restaurant, but the appetizer bread was so dry that I couldn't even swallow it with boiled water.

Perhaps thinking that it was inappropriate for the two of them to sit at the dining table and stare at each other, Su Xiaoqiang asked a lot of questions about Lu Mingfei.

After all, they were brothers who used to do ballroom dancing with the ball and collided with others during group work. Even after so many years, they could still communicate with each other without any obstacles. They started by talking about their past in high school and then moved on to their current situations.

For example, how much do e-sports players earn now, what level of competition do they participate in, do they only plan to play part-time during college or continue playing, and so on.

Lu Mingfei knew that although the little goddess was well-informed, her understanding of e-sports was probably just that of a layman, so he briefly introduced himself. My income was not high, and I had to get sponsorship myself. The level of the competition was not low, and the prize money was quite considerable, which could be considered as winning glory for the country.

However, I don't know if it was a tacit understanding, but when talking about the past, Su Xiaoqiang didn't mention Chen Wenwen, and Lu Mingfei also tactfully didn't mention Zhao Menghua. Obviously, they always used these two people to ridicule each other. Maybe it was because they were both losers who broke up at the same time and place.

Lu Mingfei himself had already let go of Chen Wenwen. During the winter and summer vacations in college, he and Chen Wenwen had attended several class reunions together. But he didn't know whether the little angel, who had never appeared at a class reunion, had let go of Zhao Menghua.

However, Lu Mingfei had always felt that Zhao Menghua was not worthy of the little goddess. Moreover, under the wise leadership of Mr. Su, the Su Energy Group had become even bigger and stronger, with its share price soaring, leaving Zhao Menghua's family's business in a state of disarray.

Su Xiaoqiang also praised Lu Mingfei for his good grades. Although he failed a lot of courses, at least he was about to graduate from university. He also won several championships in the StarCraft competition. He was much better than her, who dropped out of university.

"No matter how many championships I win, they are not as great as your achievements, Mr. Su." Lu Mingfei said from his heart.

"Have I achieved anything? Can I make money?" Su Xiaoqiang shrugged. "If making money is considered an achievement, then yes, but do you think I don't want to be a second-generation rich kid like Liu Miaomiao and travel around the world?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say, so he could only use the classic line from Spider-Man: "With great power comes great responsibility."

"So Young Master Lu is becoming more and more capable." Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile, "You are wearing the national flag to participate in the competition. I wish you will win the first place and win glory for the country. Do you want me to open a bottle of champagne for you in advance?"

Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed: "Stop being sarcastic."

"Do I look like someone who would mock others?" The little goddess curled her lips. "But to be honest, I'm quite curious. Your salary is so low, and it's so tiring. You even have to run for sponsorship yourself. How can you stick to playing professionally for so long? Your family conditions should not be bad. After all, we were classmates at Shilan Middle School..."

What the little goddess said was actually right. It seemed unnecessary for him to work so hard. The minimum wage of the team was only 2000 yuan, and the living expenses of his family were much more than the salary of the team. Part of the prize money from the competition had to be allocated to the team operation.

However, as he was about to graduate from university, Lu Mingfei had no idea what he would do in the future. Playing StarCraft seemed to be the only thing he could stick to.

If the team disbanded, he would probably go back to his hometown and become a civil servant like his uncle. But his major is not suitable for civil service examinations, and there are not many subjects in computer science that can be taken...

"Maybe it's because I haven't done anything to the end in my life."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. “Whether it’s studying, chasing girls, or anything else, I always give up halfway due to various reasons. StarCraft seems to be the only thing I can stick to for so long... I want to see where my limit is.”

Lu Mingfei felt that what he said was quite skillful and cool, just like the lines in an anime.

But after the little angel listened to him quietly, she raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Ha! Not bad, not bad, you haven't changed in all these years, you are still as immature as you were in high school."

"You said you're not sarcastic, but is this a compliment?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. "Shouldn't normal people applaud and say something like 'I support you' when hearing this?"

"It's a compliment. I said you are still young."

"Then why are you laughing so sarcastically?"

Su Xiaoqiang sneered: "I always keep a straight face in the company. You can be happy to see me smile."

Lu Mingfei wanted to say, “Then I should feel honored to see Ms. Su smile,” but he suddenly stopped talking. He thought that the little angel had inherited the family business and was running a company when she was a teenager. She must have been under a lot of pressure on a daily basis, so she probably doesn’t smile much on a normal day.

Even though he was ridiculed for a while, if it could make the little angel happy for a while, then he would accept the ridicule... Anyway, he and the little angel had always been getting along like this in high school. To put it bluntly, it had become a kind of muscle memory for him.

What's more, the little angel not only invited me to stay in the presidential suite, but also treated me to dinner, so it was not a loss for me.

"Why aren't you talking?" Su Xiaoqiang saw that Lu Mingfei hadn't replied to him, and wondered if he had spoken too sharply and hurt the other person's feelings.

But when she looked at Lu Mingfei's expression, she felt that Lu Mingfei's expression was no different from usual. He would have this expression when he was in high school and sitting in his seat in a daze.

“But.” Su Xiaoqiang supported her cheek with her hand, her bright eyes swept over Lu Mingfei, and said thoughtfully: “Actually, you did the right thing. It’s actually quite lucky to have something that you can do all the way to the end. I support you to keep going.”

Lu Mingfei's mind moved for some unknown reason, and after a second or two of silence, he spoke: "Mr. Su is still young."

Su Xiaoqiang's eyes widened: "I saw that you seemed a little disappointed, so I came to encourage you. How dare you call me a middle school student? You have guts!"

Lu Mingfei argued quickly, "No, no, I was just praising Ms. Su for her youthful and beautiful appearance. She is still as graceful as she was in the past and still has the prestige of being the most beautiful girl in Shilan Middle School."

The moment Lu Mingfei said this, his heart skipped a beat and he realized that this sentence seemed a bit strange. Even more awkwardly, the little goddess opposite him suddenly stopped talking, and the scene fell into a strange silence for a moment.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last long. After a few seconds, Su Xiaoqiang laughed: "Why, isn't your Chen Wenwen the most beautiful girl in Shilan Middle School? I heard that Chen Wenwen hasn't found a partner since she broke up with Zhao Menghua."

"What do you mean my Chen Wenwen? There is no such thing at all." Lu Mingfei said with a snort. Seeing the little goddess smile, he was no longer so nervous.

However, Lu Mingfei did not deny that she was the most beautiful girl in Shilan Middle School. After all, if we only talk about appearance, the most beautiful girl in Shilan Middle School was indeed a little angel.

At this time, the two people's meals were served. Su Xiaoqiang wrapped a napkin around his neck and ended the topic in a very appropriate manner: "Then I will take it as a compliment."

Before Lu Mingfei knew what the little goddess was praising her for, he saw Su Xiaoqiang holding up the champagne glass in a smooth and generous manner: "Come on, old classmate, let's clink glasses. Just consider it as an advance congratulations for your competition the day after tomorrow."

Lu Mingfei picked up the Coke beside him and said a little embarrassedly: "Opening champagne in advance actually has a bad connotation in our e-sports circle."

“Really?” Su Xiaoqiang blinked, her thick eyelashes fluttering. “It’s okay. When you win the championship, I’ll help you open the champagne tower again.”

This is probably a kind of courtesy, right? However, Lu Mingfei was still very grateful for the blessing of the little goddess. He could see that the blessing of the little goddess was sincere. There were not many people who truly supported him on this road. Before, only Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen had heard him say words of encouragement after he became a professional.

He picked up his Coke and clinked glasses with the little angel, and a light "ping" sound was heard in the air.
