"Young Master Ye, take care!"
Standing before the private room door, Rong Changhe took a deep breath and bowed deeply as Ye Xuan left, his heart pounding with excitement. He could barely contain his elation.
Was this a joke? How could he not be excited? Young Master Ye had personally agreed to Wanhao Group's collaboration with the Rong family. Although it was only for Yangcheng, it was already an incredibly significant opportunity for their Rong family.
While this was a mere word from Ye Xuan, for Rong Changhe and the Rong family, it was an unprecedented leap forward. The Rong family would be transformed because of Ye Xuan's words!
Twenty billion! It was far too worth it to buy this opportunity.
*Ding ling ling~*
Just then, a call came in. The caller ID showed it was Rong Changhe's daughter, Rong Ningning.
"Hello, Dad, how did it go?" Rong Ningning's anxious voice came from the other end. "Did Young Master Ye... forgive me?"
Honestly, Rong Ningning had wanted to apologize to her father in person earlier, willing to kneel if necessary. But she hadn't dared, fearing Ye Xuan would be displeased if he saw her.
"Heh heh, don't worry, Ningning."
"Young Master Ye has forgiven you, and he's accepted our twenty billion apology fee. Of course, the most important thing is..."
Rong Changhe paused, recalling Ye Xuan's promise just now. "Young Master Ye said that from now on, Wanhao Group's relevant collaborations in Yangcheng will be handled with our Rong family first."
*Boom...* Rong Ningning's mind went blank. She was utterly stunned. What had she just heard? Ye Xuan had not only forgiven her but had also handed over Wanhao Group's collaborations in Yangcheng to their Rong family! This!
For some reason, hearing her father's words, Rong Ningning's heart was filled with a mix of emotions! Clearly, this outcome had far exceeded her expectations.
"Uh, okay, I understand." After a moment of contemplation, Rong Ningning hesitated but finally said, "Dad, you said... should I thank Young Master Ye in person? After all, this matter started because of me."
Perhaps due to the great ordeal she had gone through, Rong Ningning was rarely mature and steady.
Hearing this, Rong Changhe felt greatly comforted and said earnestly, "Ningning, I'm already very happy that you thought of this."
"As for whether to apologize in person, just follow your heart." Rong Changhe said in a deep voice, "However, from now on, you must not act out like you used to in the Chen family, especially towards Ye Xuan's maternal grandfather. You should be able to see that Ye Xuan respects his grandfather greatly."
"This... Dad, I understand." Rong Ningning clenched her fists, a decision clearly made in her heart.
...
Returning to the private room, the effects of the alcohol had somewhat worn off for their uncle and two cousins. Seeing Ye Xuan return, their faces subtly flushed. Clearly, the three of them hadn't managed to outdrink Ye Xuan, which was a blow to their pride.
Ye Pengyu smiled, looking around the room, then at his nephew. "Oh, by the way, Xiao Xuan, I heard your father say you're quite good at Go."
"Today happens to be the selection day for the Tianhai Go Tournament. Are you interested in participating?"
As Ye Pengyu spoke, everyone in the room turned their attention to Ye Xuan, including Ye Pengfei and Chen Xiaowan.
"This..." Hearing his third uncle's words, Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback. But before Ye Xuan could finish speaking, the system's voice chimed.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a selection mission: Hundred Wins Selection, win the Go championship!"
"Mission Choice One: Accept the mission, receive a tenfold rebate, capped at 100 billion RMB!"
"Mission Choice Two: Reject the mission, your little ding-ding will increase by 50 centimeters!"
Hearing the system, Ye Xuan nearly broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, if he rejected the mission, wouldn't he scare everyone in the room to death?
"Oh, a Go tournament?"
"I'd also like to see how many talented individuals there are in the Go world." Ye Xuan said, maintaining a calm facade while internally panicking. He couldn't help but wipe a bead of sweat.
If this were known to the outside world, countless people would be wielding knives to fight Ye Xuan. This was an unbelievable choice! Accepting the mission offered a rebate capped at 100 billion, while rejecting it would result in a 50-centimeter increase. Both options were incredibly appealing. Especially the second one; if it were truly possible, it would be unbelievably amazing.
"I see." Hearing that Ye Xuan had an interest, his third uncle Ye Pengyu continued with some anticipation, "Then later, Xiao Xuan, download a Go software. The selection rounds will be held there."
Saying this, Ye Pengyu swallowed. "Heh heh, Xiao Xuan, your third uncle has also signed up. But when I registered, there were already over a hundred thousand contestants. Now, the number is probably even higher."
"And only those who win over 100 games will pass the selection to enter the competition. At the same time, they cannot lose more than 5 games, otherwise, they won't be able to enter either." Ye Pengyu explained. Although his chess skills were mediocre, not even as good as his second brother Ye Pengfei, he enjoyed participating. Moreover, he had been using his Go software account for many years, and his current rank was already amateur level six.
"Okay, third uncle." Ye Xuan noted down the Go software his third uncle mentioned. "I'll register an account when I get back. But if I encounter third uncle later, please go easy on me."
Ye Pengyu: "..."
"Hahaha, you rascal, are you kidding me?" Clearly, he didn't take his nephew's words seriously. How could he? After all, if even his second brother couldn't beat him, how could his nephew stand a chance?
Then, the family continued eating and chatting merrily. At this moment, Ye Xiaodao, holding his third uncle Ye Pengyu's phone, sidled up with a grin. "Cousin, as the saying goes, a night of gaming after drinking is better than being an immortal."
"Let's play a few rounds together, cousin. Carry me to victory, fly with me~~" Ye Xiaodao skillfully logged into an account. At this time, Ye Xiaodao, this deceptive elementary school student, was already at Platinum level. Clearly, Ye Xuan was responsible for at least 99% of this achievement! It truly embodied the saying that with a god-like teammate, even a pig could take flight. Although Ye Xiaodao's King of Glory skills were slightly better than a complete novice.
"You little rascal." Ye Xuan slapped the back of his cousin Ye Xiaodao's head. "Today, cousin is in a good mood, so I'll play a few rounds with you."
"Let's experience the feeling of being an immortal too."
Hearing his cousin's words, Ye Xiaodao chuckled and scratched the back of his head. As for Luo Tianyi, she rolled her eyes at the big scoundrel. This guy only knew how to talk nonsense with a serious face. But why did she like this side of that big jerk? It was so strange~~
