"Mr. Qin, please come in."


    Li Jianjun was courteous and spoke with elegance, an immediate indication that he was no ordinary individual.


    "The guest follows the host''s lead, so Mr. Li, after you."


    Li Moying said exasperatedly, "Are you two planning to dawdle until tomorrow? Get inside, I''m starving."


    ...


    The three of them entered the hotel, where the general manager had already prepared a suite and meals.


    No sooner had they sat down than the food was served, sumptuous and accompanied by a bottle of expensive red wine.@@@@


    "I''ll start eating; you guys can talk amongst yourselves," said Li Moying as she picked up her chopsticks to eat.


    Li Jianjun looked at Qin Hao with a smile and said, "Mr. Qin, let''s have a drink to start with."


    Qin Hao shook his head, "I''m sorry, I have to drive later in the afternoon, I''d better not drink."


    "Right, I wasn''t thinking. Instead, let''s have a drink with tea in place of liquor."


    After a sip of tea, Li Jianjun went straight to the point, "Mr. Qin, the reason I invited you is to discuss a potential collaboration."


    "Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?" Qin Hao asked with curiosity.


    Li Jianjun said, "In the realm of gaming. I know you''re a college student and education is a priority, so I won''t be too demanding. It''s alright if you don''t train, as long as you''re present for the matches."


    Qin Hao said, "I''m not interested in that."


    That one sentence effectively stumped Li Jianjun.


    He truly wasn''t interested and had never thought of making money by playing professionally.


    Grinding his teeth, Li Jianjun said, "Just name your conditions. As long as it''s within my power and the Jinxiu Group''s capability, I''ll agree to it."


    Li Moying, who was sitting nearby, was taken aback, somewhat in disbelief that her older brother would say such a thing.


    Qin Hao could see his determination and was somewhat puzzled, "Can you explain why? I''m very curious."


    Li Jianjun''s expression changed, and after a moment, he said, "Last year, I led the King team to international competition as the top team from Xuan Country."


    "We finished seventh, and after the match, our team suffered humiliation at the hands of the Beidou Country Team and the Beihai Country Team. I can''t swallow that insult. Since then, I have sworn to lead the King team to world championship glory and show those dogs what we''re made of."


    After speaking, his face looked terrible, clearly, they had suffered a great humiliation back then.


    Hearing this, Qin Hao fell into deep thought.


    Seeing his reaction, Li Jianjun held back from speaking, a thought crossing his mind.


    That was what she had found attractive, but there was simply no room for negotiation.


    Even though Qin Hao had put it very tactfully, she could tell that he had no intention of raising funds.


    After having lunch, Li Moying asked, "Master, where are you planning to go this afternoon?"


    "I plan to go and register the car license plate, and then head back to the roast duck restaurant to check on things there."


    Li Moying: "Oh, in that case, I''ll head home first."


    "Alright then."


    Qin Hao drove out of Jinxiu Hotel, then made a phone call to Du Wanrou, "Wanrou, where are you?"


    "I''m at home. I came back after my morning classes were done."


    Qin Hao: "I''ll come over to find you; let''s go to the vehicle administration office to get the license plate."


    "Alright, sure."


    ...


    When Li Moying got home, she was humming a tune as she opened the door and walked in, but she instantly froze.


    Because her parents were sitting on the living room sofa.


    "Skipping class again?" Li Xutian''s brow furrowed slightly when he saw her.


    Li Moying quickly ran to her mom: "Mom, my stomach hurts, it''s really uncomfortable."


    "Stop pretending, I know all your little tricks," Li Xutian said somewhat speechlessly when he saw her act.


    Li Moying giggled, "Dad, why are you back so early today?"


    Li Xutian asked back, "I heard you gave your black card to someone?"


    "Was it that jerk who snitched again? I''m going to kill him," Li Moying''s face changed, and she stood up to leave.


    Li Xutian shouted sternly, "Stay right there."


    Li Moying was so scared she froze in place, and then her eyes instantly turned red.


    Seeing this, Gu Yusu quickly interjected, "Talk about the issue at hand, what are you yelling at the child for?"


    Li Xutian: "I will have someone cancel that card of yours, and from now on, steer clear of those shady characters."


    Li Moying shot back, "What do you mean by shady? What''s wrong with my master that makes him shady?"


    "Anyone who plays video games all day can''t be any good. There are all kinds of people on the internet, and your dad just wants the best for you," Gu Yusu said, trying to persuade her daughter.
