“See you around?”
Watching Qin Xuan and Hu Zi’an’s retreating figures, Li Wenjing’s lips curved into a smile.
Since there was still a chance to meet again, it meant the boss and Qin Xuan had reached an agreement.
At the very least, they were in a state of mutual consideration.
That was enough.
He believed his boss would not let such an outstanding talent slip away.
The thought of Qin Xuan’s incredible performance sent a thrill through Li Wenjing.
Because from Qin Xuan, he truly saw hope for winning the championship.
“No, no matter the situation, I can’t waste any more time here.”
“There’s still a full month until the winter transfer window. I must quickly find four teammates who are the best fit for Qin Xuan!”
…
Not long after Qin Xuan and Hu Zi’an left the base, Ling Wang caught up from behind.
Panting heavily, Ling Wang asked with a gossip-filled expression, “Qin Xuan, how did your talk with the principal go?”
“Did he agree to give you a high salary?”
Qin Xuan shook his head, “Our conversation was very pleasant, but unfortunately, there was no high salary.”
After speaking, Qin Xuan paused deliberately, then whispered mysteriously to Ling Wang, “But I have some good news. Do you want to know?”
“Good news?”
“About me?”
Ling Wang was stunned.
He didn’t understand why the other party, who came for a tryout, would have good news about him.
However, since it was good news, there was no harm in listening.
“Quick, tell me!”
Qin Xuan chuckled, “According to reliable sources, a team will be signing you soon.”
“If you want to contribute to that team, you’d better go back and maintain your competitive state.”
A team wants to sign me?
Did the principal arrange it?
Ling Wang was even more bewildered.
He hadn’t even gone for a tryout yet, and now a team wanted to sign him?
No target was discussed, no salary was discussed.
Unless the principal had already negotiated it for him.
But would the other party do that?
Qin Xuan could see Ling Wang’s confusion and immediately patted him on the shoulder, “Ah, anyway, I can’t reveal too much.”
“Trust me, just do as I say.”
“Otherwise, you’ll regret it later!”
After speaking, Qin Xuan turned and left with Hu Zi’an, leaving Ling Wang standing there in a daze.
“Boss, did I perform poorly in my tryout today?”
“The IG manager didn’t even look at me the whole time. All the attention was on you.”
Back at their accommodation, Hu Zi’an asked Qin Xuan with some worry.
Qin Xuan was taken aback, then understood.
So that’s why this kid had been so quiet. He’d been ignored and thought he was eliminated.
Laughing heartily, Qin Xuan directly shared his real-life “esports manager” idea with Hu Zi’an.
Upon hearing this, Hu Zi’an immediately slapped his thigh, “Damn! Boss is boss!”
“How could I not have thought of such a fun idea?”
Qin Xuan chuckled, “You’ve always lived an ordinary life, so it’s normal you couldn’t think of it right away.”
“If Wang Sicong hadn’t said that the esports industry was difficult, I wouldn’t have thought of acquiring IG.”
To make the story sound more plausible, Qin Xuan slightly deceived Hu Zi’an.
But Hu Zi’an clearly didn’t care.
At this moment, he was also contemplating how to own his own team.
“Boss, do you think I should buy a team or build one myself?”
Qin Xuan thought for a moment and gave a brief analysis, “Each has its pros and cons.”
“If you buy a team, coaches, analysts, and other staff are already in place, and you can use them from the start.”
“But if you build a team yourself, besides the effort required to hire staff, new members also need to develop chemistry, which takes time and energy.”
“That makes sense.”
Hu Zi’an nodded in agreement but was still undecided.
Qin Xuan didn’t bother him further and opened his phone, intending to read a novel.
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the number, it was from Modu. Qin Xuan answered, and it turned out to be the Law Enforcement Bureau.
“Mr. Qin Xuan, hello. Due to new developments in the 10/15 aircraft attack case, your cooperation is required for the investigation. Please proceed to the Modu Law Enforcement Bureau immediately.”
New developments so soon?
Qin Xuan was stunned.
He had personally experienced this so-called 10/15 attack case.
He could guarantee with his reputation that this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared.
However, since the Law Enforcement Bureau had said so, Qin Xuan naturally had to cooperate.
After replying, “No problem,” he bid farewell to Hu Zi’an and headed to the Law Enforcement Bureau.
“Hello, I am Qin Xuan. I just received a call asking me to come to the Law Enforcement Bureau to cooperate with the investigation.”
Entering the lobby of the Law Enforcement Bureau, Qin Xuan found the reception staff.
But before the reception staff could reply, he was led to a small room by another law enforcement officer.
“Mr. Qin, welcome.”
Inside the small room, there was a table and two chairs.
Seated inside was a woman in military uniform.
She was valiant and full of spirit.
Upon seeing Qin Xuan, she stood up, extended her hand, and shook his.
“My name is Su Nishang, and I am a general in the Dragon Country’s special forces.”
“I’ve asked you here today to understand the situation at the time. You don’t need to be nervous.”
“Oh, please sit.”
“Thank you.”
Qin Xuan sat down on the chair, somewhat surprised.
Before meeting Su Nishang, he had never imagined that a general in the special forces would be a woman.
But judging from the aura and efficient movements emanating from her, Qin Xuan felt at ease.
The saying “heroines are no less than heroes” probably referred to someone like her.
“General Su, please ask any questions you have. As long as I know the answers, I will tell you everything.”
Su Nishang nodded with satisfaction, “First, I need to confirm with you.”
“After boarding the plane, did you see anyone suspicious?”
Qin Xuan shook his head, “After boarding the plane, my companion and I were resting in first class.”
“We didn’t see anyone suspicious until those thugs came from economy class.”
“Very good.”
“Second question.”
Su Nishang continued, “As far as I know, you resisted at the time.”
“So, during your resistance, did you notice anything noteworthy?”
Qin Xuan nodded, “Yes.”
“A tall thug who fought with me had excellent physical condition.”
“After I knocked him unconscious, he woke up not long after.”
“Not only that.”
“After waking up, he mentioned a title multiple times…”
“Martial Arts Grandmaster.”
“Martial Arts Grandmaster?”
“What were his exact words?”
Upon hearing “Martial Arts Grandmaster,” Su Nishang’s tone clearly fluctuated.
Although the change was subtle, Qin Xuan still caught it.
“The leading thug asked the tall thug what had happened.”
“His reply was, ‘I encountered a Martial Arts Grandmaster and almost failed.’”
“What?”
Su Nishang exclaimed in surprise.
“The Martial Arts Grandmaster he mentioned, was it you?!”
