After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 789 Sweeping the Semifinals, Advancing to the Finals

Can I say it's inconvenient?

Upon hearing Lu Liang's words, Xi Ran stood there stunned, her mind suddenly blank, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do? What is the meaning of life? All the events from my childhood to adulthood flashed through my mind like a slideshow.

If she were talking to other people, she could joke about why she would come to watch the game if it wasn't convenient. But with Lu Liang, a single wrong word could ruin her career.

Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle: "Since you're all here to watch the game, it's definitely not inconvenient. If you have any questions, just ask."

Xiao Wang glanced at Xi Ran's exquisite appearance, then at Lu Liang, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

When it comes to being a scumbag, Lu Liang is second to none, yet the public always seems to think he's even worse than Lu Liang.

Whenever I think of this
He even wanted to hide in the bathroom and cry for a while.

Xi Ran snapped out of her daze, gave him a playful glare, and realized that Lu Liang was joking. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She took a deep breath, raised the microphone, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lu, are you also a League of Legends player?"

Lu Liang bowed slightly: "I used to play for a while, probably starting from Season 3, but I've been too busy with work these past few years, so I haven't played much."

Xi Ran then asked, "Are you a fan of the IG team? Did you come all the way to Gwangju today specifically to watch this match?"

Lu Liang shook his head and said, "I came to Korea on some business, and when President Wang found out I was here, he invited me. I thought I'd come and experience the passionate atmosphere of the competition since I had nothing else to do..."

The two exchanged questions and answers, and the cameramen at the venue were eager to film them up close, so that more people would know that Lu Liang was a fan of their League of Legends.

However, the camera focused heavily on Lu Liang, which inevitably caused dissatisfaction among some viewers who were unaware of the facts, who thought that the organizers were intentionally promoting him.

"Damn it, who is this guy? Which team's legend is he? Why is the organizer showing him such favoritism? We came to watch the game, not to watch his interview."

"Dude, have you gone mad from playing League of Legends? He's Lu Liang! Even Lee Jae-yong from Samsung has to be polite to him. It's normal for the organizers to fawn over him."

"Lu Liang, the founder of Tianxing Auto and Tianxing Financial, launched an unprecedented $300 billion ABS a few months ago and successfully raised $300 billion. He is also rumored to be the biggest driving force behind Bitcoin's rise from $2000 to $20,000 last year."

"No need for rumors, yesterday someone saw Zheng Xuanyi, the head of Hyundai Group, waiting on the airport tarmac for more than half an hour under the scorching sun, just waiting for Lu Liang."

"Hyundai Group was able to return to the ranks of top conglomerates thanks to its cryptocurrency trading platform, which provides one-stop leveraged loan services."

Everyone chimed in, recounting Lu Liang's past, specifically how he had focused on the company's development over the past year and a half.

Two or three years ago, he was the biggest short seller in the international capital market, and even the world-renowned Quantum Fund was defeated by him.

Let alone a mere international tournament, even if Lu Liang wanted to acquire Riot Games, Tencent might not be able to stop him.

"Thank you again, Mr. Lu, for accepting our interview. We wish you a pleasant viewing experience today."

Xi Ran smiled radiantly, bowed deeply, and her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall at night, resembling pebbles falling into a lake, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Before this, it was hard to imagine that someone as famous as Lu Liang would have such an easygoing personality.

Occasionally, they would even tell a few jokes to make the interview less boring.

If she could, she would like to get to know Lu Liang and learn more about one of the three strongest post-85s generation members on Earth. However, the two teams of contestants were about to take the stage and the competition was about to begin.

She had no choice but to return to the stage and continue hosting the day.

"I have her WeChat, do you want it?"

Xiao Wang suddenly asked, he had already let it go and was used to being with Lu Liang. The legendary marksman with a 100% win rate was just an unknown nobody.

"Can we meet up tonight?" Lu Liang asked with a smile, looking at Xi Ran on the stage, who was introducing the team members.

With a high nose bridge and delicate features, her eyes and brows exude both the competence of a career woman and an oriental charm. Her floral dress is paired with her signature "girl group legs," and as she turns, her hair intertwines with the hem of her skirt, creating a look that is both dynamic and elegant.

He has a sunny smile, just like a top-of-the-line version of Xiao Chen, but he's probably smarter than Xiao Chen. He likes this type of girl.

"You've already come up with an idea, so even if it doesn't work, it has to work," Xiao Wang said with a smile.

He already had a plan in mind: as long as the team could advance to the finals, he would use this victory to host a banquet for everyone, inviting the players and commentators, and Xiran would definitely come.

Lu Liang hummed in agreement and didn't ask any further questions.

Just like a phrase that Jung Seon-yi often says, as long as he has an idea and likes the other person, any Korean actress can come at his beck and call, even if she can't, she has to.

The same applies to meeting girls.

As long as Lu Liang has an idea, his subordinates, partners, and friends will do their best to help him get to know them.

The match officially started at 4:40 PM, using a best-of-five (BO5) format. However, before 8 PM, IG had already swept their opponents 3-0, forcefully advancing to the finals.

The moment the enemy base crystal exploded, Xiao Wang couldn't help but stand up, pump his fist, and roar, "Nice!"

A deafening roar of cheers echoed throughout the Gwangju Gymnasium, with countless people shouting, "IG is awesome!"

After eight years of competition without a championship, the team that was once highly anticipated always fell short in the semifinals and quarterfinals. This was definitely the closest they had ever come to the championship.

On one side of the stage, Xi Ran's face was beaming with excitement, and she swayed and hopped around like a sparrow.

She believes that every LPL professional is hoping for the region's first championship.

Repeated attempts and failures have worn down the patience of fans in the region.

The player churn rate is very high, and the audience is decreasing year by year. They desperately need this championship.

Suddenly her attention was drawn to the front row of the audience. Lu Liang smiled and clapped his hands gently.

In stark contrast to Xiao Wang, who was waving his fists and looking excited, he seemed detached from the frenzied atmosphere of the arena, as if the world had nothing to do with him.

"So aloof?" Xi Ran tilted her head, puzzled. Suddenly, Lu Liang noticed her staring at him and gave her a polite smile.

Xi Ran instinctively avoided Lu Liang's gaze, a series of thoughts flashing through her mind. He smiled at me? Could he be interested in me?

If he pursues me, should I agree? I heard Lu Liang has a messy private life and apparently has a child? Is it true or false?

"Xiran, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and prepare for the post-match interview."

Just then, a host dressed in a cheongsam and wearing glasses, exuding an intellectual and mature charm, gracefully walked in.

"Okay, Sister Shuang." Xi Ran shook her head, dispelling those chaotic thoughts, and hurriedly went to the live broadcast room set up for the interview.

At the same time, Lu Liang followed Xiao Wang to the backstage of the venue, where Xiao Wang enthusiastically introduced each player on the team.

"Everyone, relax tonight. I'll cover all expenses. We'll start preparing for the finals tomorrow!"

Xiao Wang promised all sorts of benefits, including but not limited to money, cars, and houses. As long as they could win the first championship in the region, not only would there be company rewards, but he would also personally contribute 100 million yuan in cash as a bonus.

As night fell, the group arrived at a luxurious nightclub in Gwangju.

In addition to the players from the IG team, there were also LPL commentators and hosts, as well as key personnel in charge of the World Championship.

Although they were all around the same age, in their early twenties or thirties, their social statuses were vastly different.

Xiao Wang is one thing, since he does live streams every now and then and interacts with them, so they get along quite well.

The key is Lu Liang, who is like the sun next door, radiating a dazzling light that is impossible to ignore, to the point that people are hesitant and timid.

"Miss Feng, shall we go out for some fresh air?"

Lu Liang suddenly stood up and came to Xi Ran. He had just learned that her real name was Feng Xi.

Feng Xi was taken aback. She looked at Lu Liang, then subconsciously glanced at her colleagues who were secretly observing. After hesitating for a while, she nodded and followed Lu Liang to the open-air balcony.

"Holy crap, really? Mr. Lu has feelings for Xiran?"

This scene was witnessed by dozens of people in the private room, including the commentary team and the event organizers, and each of them had strange thoughts.

Xi Ran is a talented woman from Zhejiang University of Media and Communications who is fluent in three languages, which is why she was able to become one of the female hosts of the S-series tournament in her first year in the LPL.

Now she has gained Lu Liang's favor, and without Lu Liang even having to say a word, the mere fact that he is pursuing her is enough to make the senior management of the competition area look at her with new eyes.

Suddenly, one or two people turned their gaze to a corner of the private room and looked at the female host who had an intellectual appearance and a mature woman's charm.

As expected, the top female host is about to change hands.

At the same time, Lu Liang led Feng Xi to the open-air balcony, where they leaned against the railing and enjoyed the river breeze.

He poured two glasses of red wine, handed one to Feng Xi, and said with a smile, "Miss Feng, I like you. Be my girlfriend."

"What?" Feng Xi's eyes widened, his CPU was practically burning out, and his face was full of bewilderment.

They've just met, and their total contact time has been less than ten minutes. Isn't that too hasty?
Lu Liang smiled and took a sip of red wine: "We're all adults, why complicate simple things?"

He now prefers a simple and direct approach to picking up girls: first, establish a relationship, then move directly to the next step; feelings can be cultivated slowly.

If you disagree,
He wouldn't waste his time on the other person.
