“Alas,” Ji Longtai sighed, “we can only wait for Qingwei to recover next year and participate in the International Joint Examination. Perhaps then we can connect with President Ji.”
Research was of paramount importance.
Ji Yun was once a participant in the joint examination, single-handedly inventing the “Oracle.”
Even the dukedoms of the Western Continent sought to woo him, and Ji Longtai was well aware that Ji Yun was not easily approached.
“For the game’s anniversary celebration, it’s not easy for Qingwei to leave home. You should take Qingyao with you,” Old Master Ji pondered. “Don’t try to approach deliberately to avoid backfiring.”
Ji Longtai nodded in understanding, “I get it.”
“Qingwei’s health has deteriorated again,” Old Master Ji cautioned, “make sure to have no less than three doctors attending to her.” Qingwei’s illness was always a challenge.
But it was inevitable.
Talent often invitedjealousy; there was nothing to be done about it.
Mr. Ji shook his head and went to see Qingwei.
In An City.
Ye Zhenmian’s restaurant was bustling, thanks to its location by the school gate, ensuring a steady income every day.
She saved all this money, intending to repay Si Fuqing one day.
Over the years, Ye Zhenmian had grown accustomed to frugality, continuing to live on simple meals.
With the students in class at this hour, the restaurant was quiet.
The sound of the glass door opening rang through the air. As Ye Zhenmian went to welcome the guest, her smile faded upon seeing who it was, ‘Why are you here?”
“Wow, old sister, this restaurant is quite fancy. Made some money?” Ye Huai’an’s eyes flickered with interest. “I heard from your former boss that you struck out on your own, and I hardly believed it.”
“It’s borrowed,” Ye Zhenmian replied, her tone neither warm nor cold, “I owe ten million.”
Ye Huai’an walked in casually, “Sister, why do you have to be at odds with our family? You had to run off with some poor guy. Did our parents say anything?” Ye Zhenmian neither responded nor paid him any mind.
“Sister, although Yi’an got into Northern State No.l Middle School, I heard his grades aren’t great. Maybe you should just have him drop out,” Ye Huai’an changed the subject. “Look at his cousin, he’s into eSports, has almost a hundred thousand followers in his live streaming room.”
“He’s playing ‘Oracle’, you know how popular ‘Oracle’ is. If he wins a prize, that would be something. Yi’an plays too, right? Maybe Little Yuan can bring him into the team.”
Ye Zhenmian never forced Yi’an to do anything he didn’t like.
And recently, Yi’an had made significant progress in his studies.
In the first mock exam of his senior year, he ranked within the top three hundred of his grade.
But what Yi’an decides to do in the future is his business.
She wouldn’t interfere.
“Little Yuan’s team is in Sijiu City,” Ye Huai’an perked up. “It’s a place teeming with celebrities and moguls, a chance to meet a lot of big bosses. I think it’s better for Yi’an to drop out and play games. Though it seems he’s not very good at them. ”
Ye Zhenmian’s face grew cold, “Are you done?”
“You know about NINE, right? Never mind, you probably don’t. He’s the top player of ‘Oracle,”‘ Ye Huai’an said with a hint of pride. “Little Yuan is the only direct disciple of NINE the God. Although Yi’an isn’t that lucky, he could become NINE’s grand-disciple. How about that?”
Ye Zhenmian indeed knew nothing about “Oracle” and was thoroughly impatient by now, ready to close the shop early.
The door opened once again.
Ye Zhenmian was startled, then her eyes lit up, “Qingqing, why are you back at this time?”
“Auntie,” Si Fuqing greeted with a nod.
She put down the local specialties she had brought back, unhurriedly adding,
“After all, if I didn’t come back, I wouldn’t have known I had a direct disciple..”
