Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 346 The Invitation of Young Master Wang (3.3k)
……

……

"Go! Go! Go! I can push three enemies this time! Watch me!"

"Great push for Xiao Kai! Beautiful!"

"Jay Cun, charge! Don't hesitate, unleash your ultimate and charge forward! Cut down their backline! Hey... don't run away!!"

"Damn it... Nice!!"

"Gu Qing-ge!! You're awesome!!"

Kai's scream pierced my eardrums once again.

What he just witnessed really sent his blood pressure soaring.

He controlled Syndra and executed a precise QE combo, unleashing a Dark Orb that stunned three enemy heroes, creating a perfect opportunity to initiate a team fight.

But then the camera shifts, and Zhou Tianwang's Wuju Master Yi, under Lulu's ultimate "Wild Growth," seems to be wandering aimlessly in the middle of the battlefield, slashing left at Garen in the front row and then right at Alistar next to him.
They completely ignored Jinx, who was right next to them and unleashing a barrage of attacks.

Kai felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, realizing that his idolized image of the music superstar had shattered into pieces. He was so anxious that he almost blurted out a string of curses.

Good luck!

At this critical moment, Gu Qing's Vayne, the Night Hunter, activated Ultimate Moment (R), using a nimble dodge and ambush (Q) to slip into the shadows and ghost-like flank her.
Jinx was pinned to the wall by the giant bolt of Demonic Judgment (E)! Then, she flashed to dodge Alistar's Savage Charge (WQ) combo by the hair, and with a swift stroke, she instantly killed the enemy's core damage dealer.

The operation was smooth and seamless, without the slightest delay!
"Awesome!!"

Kai shouted excitedly from his room, making everyone's blood boil: "Is there a chance for a pentakill? Pentakill! Pentakill!"

"Double kill!"

"Triple kill!"

"Quadra kill! (Four kills!)"

……

"ACE (Total wipeout)"

Just as Gu Qing's Vayne was about to secure a pentakill after weakening the last Alistar,
Zhou Tianwang's Sword Saint seemed to have finally seen the error of his ways. He dashed over with an Alpha Strike (Q) and, with a "whoosh," stole the last kill, wiping out the entire team.

"..."

Kai was as if he had been suddenly choked, all his cheers stuck in his throat, and he fell into a deathly silence.

He could even hear the sound of his own heart breaking.

"Huh? What pentakill?"

Jay Chou's voice carried a hint of bewilderment and innocence, as if he had no idea what had happened.

"Oh, my, my,"

Gu Qing's tone was low and filled with self-blame, "It's all my fault. I killed four, and then I accidentally stole your pentakill, Jay Chou. It's my fault."

"Hahaha, damn it!"

Jay Chou finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing, his tone full of amusement and exasperation, "Can you please stop talking to me in such a jerky tone?"

"Hehe, Brother Gu Qing, you're really good at manipulating people's mentality."

Kai Zi also snapped out of his gloom and couldn't help but grin foolishly.

"Xiao Kai, learn more and observe more; you'll need it in the future."

As Gu Qing spoke with a smile, he controlled his character to destroy the opponent's base crystal, securing victory in the game.

A week has passed since the controversial music festival that night.

Jay Chou's witty remark at the end, "Let's play some games together," cleverly defused the tense situation between the fans.

This indirectly helped Gu Qing avoid an unnecessary problem.

With Gu Qing no longer serving as a "shield," almost all the anger and public pressure were directed at the organizer, Tencent.

Bigbang's fans mostly chose to shift the blame, emphasizing, "The award was given by the organizers, what does it have to do with our idols?"

Similarly, after this incident, Jay Chou seems to have made up his mind to sever ties with Tencent and plans to create his own music platform. He wants to be his own boss!

……

"Brother Gu Qing, are you going to commentate on the match next?"

After seeing that he had successfully advanced to the Platinum rank, Kai asked with satisfaction and curiosity, "Are we going to Los Angeles to see it live?"

"Not going to the scene,"

Gu Qing explained with a smile, "I'll be doing the broadcast commentary in a studio in China. My new movie is about to be released, and I can't leave during the promotional period, so I can't go abroad."

"That's great! At least we can watch the game in a professional studio; the atmosphere will definitely be different."

Kai's tone was full of envy.

He genuinely wanted to go, but his agency would never approve it.

Their group follows the most traditional "idol development" route, cultivating a pure, obedient, and naive "baby" image in the hearts of fans.

They need to act cute and adorable; the more innocent and naive they appear, the more fans will like them.

Just like his teammate Yuanzi, who posted a social media update a while ago that said, "Today I learned how to serve myself rice."

The comment section below was immediately flooded with praise from fans:
"You're so great, baby! You can even serve yourself rice now!"

"My baby is so smart!"

"When I was your age, I didn't even know how to serve rice!"

……

In this environment, Kai's addiction to "online games" is definitely considered a bad habit by the company and fans. Not to mention going to the competition venue, he is not even allowed to mention related topics on his social media accounts.

"Xiao Kai, compared to this, you're still worse off."

Gu Qing sighed.

"Gu Qing, you're not bad either."

Kai Zi then turned around and "comforted" Gu Qing. "Hey, hey, why are you playing the victim?"

Jay Chou's voice broke in, sounding like he was full of bitterness, "No matter how bad things are for you, can you be as bad as I was back then? I was framed by the media and harassed by paparazzi 24 hours a day. I could talk about it for three days and three nights and still not finish..."

After a series of "misery contests" and a recollection of heartbreaking stories, Gu Qing clicked the "Start Queuing" button.

"Stop talking and just get to work."

After playing four more games, Gu Qing shamelessly "smurfed" in the low-ranked matches, carrying the team to victory and earning five MVPs in a row.

Their first gaming session together came to a successful conclusion.

"Goodbye, Gu Qing and Jay Chou."

"Goodbye, Xiao Kai."

Upon learning that Gu Qing was busy with work and that Zhou Tianwang was going home to take care of his children, Kaizi could only say goodbye with reluctance.

Because he became famous at a young age, his relationship with his parents was inevitably somewhat estranged. In addition, the constraints of his idol status meant he had almost no close friends.

As for the relationship between teammates?
It was originally not bad, but Jay Chou wrote a song called "The Remaining Summer" for him because he was a big fan.

This was originally intended to be released as his solo single, but due to the company's decision, it ultimately became a group track.

It's impossible for Kai not to feel wronged that his song, which was originally his, has become a three-person song.

Now, being able to play games and joke around with Gu Qing and Zhou Tianwang without any pressure, he truly cherishes and enjoys this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The only regret is that he didn't dare to make sarcastic remarks about Jay Chou like Gu Qing did, otherwise it would have been even more interesting.

……

On the other side, Gu Qing took off his headphones, spun his gaming chair, and looked at Li Li, who had knocked on the door and walked in. "I just came to watch a match, how could I possibly trouble you to grace me with your presence?"

"Xiao Gu, what are you saying? Do you really think I'm such a bad person?"

Li Li forced a smile, but it looked somewhat forced. "It's a good thing, really a good thing."

What you see as a good thing may not be a good thing to me.

Gu Qing turned around, logged out of her game account, and said in a calm tone, "Just say it, what is it?"

"Xiao Gu, weren't you going to watch that... League of Legends match?"

Li Li said with a smile, "What a coincidence! It seems that the young master of Dawan Group has invested in this e-sports project. He called specifically to invite you to watch the game together."

"?"

Gu Qing turned around again, her brows furrowing slightly. "Why did he suddenly find me?"

This Mr. Wang's name is known to almost everyone in the country, though it's mostly not for a good reason.

In his early years, frequently changing girlfriends was considered "normal" behavior for a rich second-generation, but later he almost caused a modern-day "abduction of a woman" scandal.

Although they managed to salvage some of their image thanks to a strong public relations team, they no longer dared to act as recklessly as before.

Gu Qing genuinely wanted to have nothing to do with this man.

"Uh...maybe it's because I think you're particularly good-looking, Xiao Gu?"

Li Li tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but seeing Gu Qing's unpleasant expression, she quickly changed her tune, "I guess you might be trying to ease the tension?"

"What relationship need to be eased?"

Gu Qing said impatiently, "I don't know him at all."

"The key is... he knows Li Yifeng and Chris Wu."

Li Li cautiously guessed, "Chris Wu was on his variety show, and Li Yifeng seems to have a pretty good relationship with him."

With Xiao Gu recently playing games and doing commentary, his influence has expanded into the e-sports field, which happens to touch his business empire.

Perhaps they're looking to get to know each other and collaborate; after all, businessmen have no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

"Can we cancel it?" Gu Qing asked directly.

“This is… difficult.”

Li Li shook her head with difficulty, "Xiao Gu, I'm not lying to you. The main production company for the movie 'Detective Chinatown' that you filmed was Dawan Company."

If you directly refuse Mr. Wang's request, it might seriously affect our film's promotion and screening schedule!

"he……"

Gu Qing was about to question, "Doesn't he want to make money?"
But then I thought of all the outrageous things this young master Wang had done in the past. Given his personality, he might actually do something that harms others without benefiting himself.

"Brother Sicheng, you have to give me more money this time..."

Gu Qing rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"Xiao Gu, you mean... you've agreed?"

Li Li asked in surprise.

"What exactly did he invite me to do? Just watch the game?"

Gu Qingde needed to find out the details; he needed to assess the risks.

"We didn't talk much on the phone, just that I wanted to invite you to dinner first to discuss cooperation in gaming and esports," Li Li quickly added.

"If we're just talking about games, then it's fine."

Gu Qing pondered. To avoid it being a "trap," he needed to come up with a reason in advance that he could leave at any time.

He glanced at Li Li in front of him and had a feeling that this agent was not very reliable.

After a moment's thought, he decided to discuss a plan privately with Zhao Ya, whom he trusted more.

Soon, with the help of makeup artists and stylists, Gu Qing had made all the preparations for watching the game that night.

He traveled by car to the designated league venue, preparing for an unexpected meeting with the renowned Mr. Wang.
