The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

This series of events completely panicked the top management of Yaoshi Entertainment. The board of directors convened an emergency meeting overnight. CEO Wang Yao slammed the table and shouted, "Can anyone tell me what's going on? How did all our core players disappear overnight?" The meeting room fell silent, no one dared to speak.

"Investigate it!" Wang Yao gritted his teeth. "Who is that Qin Xiao? How can a retired player have such great power?"

Yaoshi Entertainment immediately launched a frantic counterattack. They first used their connections to remove the trending search results, then hired online trolls to spread negative information about Qin Xiao, even threatening sponsors: "If you dare to cooperate with Xingchen Esports, we will terminate all cooperation with Yaoshi."

However, just when Wang Yao thought he had victory, a bigger storm was brewing.

Late one night, financial reporter Li Wei suddenly released an exclusive revelation: "According to reliable sources, Qin Xiao, the founder of Xingchen Esports, is actually the sole heir to Shenghua Group!" The accompanying picture was a photo of Qin Xiao attending a high-end business event, with Mr. Qin, chairman of Shenghua Group, standing next to him.

This news was like a nuclear bomb, instantly detonating the entire Internet. Weibo servers were temporarily paralyzed, and the related topic had been read over a billion times.

"Oh my god! Qin Xiao is actually the prince of Shenghua?"

"No wonder he was able to acquire the club so easily. It turns out the entire Shenghua Group is behind it!"

"Yao Shi really hit the titanium alloy plate this time!"

Wang Yao's face paled upon learning the truth, his coffee cup dropping to the ground with a thud. Trembling, he called the board of directors: "Hurry...prepare for crisis PR..."

But it was too late. Shenghua Group swiftly launched a counterattack, first acquiring Yaoshi's largest competitor, then severing its funding chain, and finally exposing Yaoshi Entertainment's tax evasion scandal. In just one week, Yaoshi's stock price plummeted 80%, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

Lan's situation was even more dire. With the referee bribery scandal exposed, the league announced a permanent ban, and sponsors terminated their contracts and demanded compensation.

The once glorious e-sports star now not only has to face a sky-high penalty for breach of contract, but also has to endure the criticism from the entire network.

Late one night, someone took a picture of Lan's dejected figure on the street.

In the photo, he was sitting alone at the door of a convenience store, holding a cup of cold instant noodles in his hand, looking completely different from his former high-spirited self.

When this photo circulated online, the caption was just one short sentence: "Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. Heaven will take its course."

After the establishment of Xingchen Esports, Qin Xiao led his former teammates to return to the competition.

This team composed of legendary players shocked the entire e-sports circle as soon as it debuted, and swept all major leagues with an unstoppable momentum in the first season.

Under Qin Xiao's command, the team won the double championship of the Spring and Summer Seasons, and even created an undefeated myth in the World Championship.

Apart from participating in team activities at night and on weekends, Wenrou still maintains a nine-to-five white-collar life on weekdays and works as an ordinary employee in the marketing department of Shenghua Group.

She deliberately keeps a low profile, and few people know that she has another identity in e-sports entertainment.

After get off work every day, she would show up at the Star Esports training base on time, sometimes training with her teammates, and sometimes broadcasting live in the esports base so that everyone could see first-hand information about Star Esports.

But recently, the gentle office life has suddenly become less "ordinary".

On Monday morning, when Wenrou opened her office door, a steaming caramel macchiato sat quietly on her desk, with the words "Come on Monday" written on the cup in marker. She looked around in surprise, and her colleagues also looked confused.

"Who put the coffee there?" Wenrou asked.

"I don't know. It was already there when we arrived." My colleague Xiaolin came over. "Wow, it's still your favorite caramel macchiato, the one with double syrup."

On Wednesday at noon, Wenrou came back from lunch and found a bouquet of gorgeous red roses on the table. There was a card in the bouquet: "You are more beautiful than flowers today."

On Friday afternoon, when Wenrou returned from the conference room, there was another exquisite gift box on the table. Inside was a limited edition fountain pen that she had longed for but had never been willing to buy. There was also a note in the box: "Use it to record our story."

"Wenrou!" The colleagues in the marketing department finally couldn't contain their curiosity and surrounded her. "Tell me the truth, who is pursuing you?"

Wenrou's face instantly turned red like the rose on the table: "I, I don't know..."

"You're lying!" Xiaolin pointed at the pen. "This pen costs over 8,000 yuan. How could an ordinary suitor be so generous?"

"Could it be a senior executive of our company?" Department Manager Sister Wang pushed her glasses, looking thoughtful.

"Could it be... Director Zhang from the Finance Department?" someone speculated, "He recently got divorced..."

"Or the new vice president? I heard he's single..."

Wenrou shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, you all guessed wrong."

"Who is that?" Xiao Lin stamped his feet anxiously. "Such a romantic way of pursuing, we are almost envious!"

She smiled gently but said nothing, and the image of Qin Xiao secretly writing notes in the office last night appeared in her mind.

"Anyway... he's a very good person." Wenrou said softly, her eyes curved into crescents.

"Tsk~" the colleagues booed. "Wenrou, you've become a bad guy. You're even keeping us on suspense!"

Just then, Wenrou's phone vibrated. It was a message from Qin Xiao: "Do you like today's flowers? I specially picked the freshest ones."

Wenrou quickly replied, "I like it, but no more gifts tomorrow! The whole company is guessing who it is, and I can't handle it any more."

"How can that be?" Qin Xiao replied immediately, "I said I would pursue you for three months, and this is only the first week."

Wenrou looked at the phone screen, the corners of her mouth curling up unconsciously. Yes, they had agreed to start a new relationship and make up for the romance they had missed before. Although they had already obtained a marriage certificate, Qin Xiao insisted on giving her a complete relationship process.

"Wenrou! You're blushing!" Xiaolin suddenly shouted, "Did your suitor send you a message? Show us!"

Wenrou hurriedly hid her phone behind her back: "No! It's... it's a courier notification!"
