The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 142 Tooth for Tooth
The agent opened his mouth, his throat tightening, and when he spoke, his voice betrayed his panic, "Wuwei... is going to take legal action against you for spreading rumors and damaging the company's reputation. They've already issued a statement demanding accountability. Also... the Economic Investigation Department just sent a notice requiring you to cooperate with the tax and economic investigations, and you're not allowed to leave the country in the near future."

The Minions' tax and economic practices are simply untenable.

His face turned deathly pale, and he was utterly terrified. "Sister, don't abandon me! The company must save me..."

Agents aren't stupid.

The fact that someone could get an investigation notice from higher-ups so quickly speaks volumes about their background...

The company simply can't keep its employees...

……

The online reactions have reversed.

Jiang Li gained over 300,000 followers in just over two hours, the vast majority of whom were e-sports fans.

That quick-sniping technique really impressed a lot of people.

[Honey, the fandom has no taste! Let's switch tracks and make a name for ourselves in the gaming world!]

[This skill is truly amazing! I never knew someone could be so good-looking and have such incredible gaming skills!]

[People can't even empathize with their past selves. What was it about my eyes that made me so arrogant back then? How come I wasn't won over by Jiang Li's face back then?]

[Upstairs, with your level of determination, you'll succeed at anything!]

You guys really aren't picky.

[Otherwise what? Should I pick through a septic tank like you, picking out someone who's ugly, bad at the game, has terrible manners, can't accept defeat, and then bites back—a disgrace to the esports scene? Those two holes under your eyebrows look like they're there to vent their anger.]

[Hahaha, what a scathing critique! I wish I could live as bravely and scathingly as an esports fan just once!]

The comments section was filled with esports fans hurling insults at Jiang Li's haters for being too vulgar, which alarmed the platform's official staff, prompting them to activate a comment highlighting mode.

Instead of arguing in Jiang Li's comment section, esports fans directly posted on Weibo, tagging Minions and his remaining fans to confront him head-on.

Song Mingkai sighed, "No wonder he's a true esports fan who's devoted to his skills and parents, a fan who doesn't pander to men or women, but only to the strong..."

Even within the fandom of Feng Mu, currently the strongest male idol, there is an unwritten rule.

—Don't mess with the esports circle. They're big, united, and incredibly good at insulting people. Esports fans just don't mingle in the K-pop fandom.

Marketing accounts colluding with fan groups to stir up trouble and create drama are things that esports fans have already done before.

Jiang Li's online reputation has largely turned around.

Xu Miao exuded a smug satisfaction, "Serves you right!"

Xiao Yi's tense shoulders finally relaxed, and he let out a soft breath.

Song Mingkai suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed intently on Jiang Li, "Sister Jiang Li, you're so good at games, can you...?"

I only knew that Jiang Li was good at games before, but I had no idea he was a real pro!
Jiang Li smiled slightly, propping her chin on her hand, "Don't even think about it, you won't be invited."

Song Mingkai's skills are so impressive that even a dog would shake its head in disbelief.

If I were to write a novel about esports, it would be titled "Ten Thousand Ways to Die".

It can still spray.

Song Mingkai's 1-10 record has been met with criticism for someone with a 10-1 record, which is quite an eye-opener for her.

Song Mingkai sobbed, "Master Li, take me under your wing. My life is yours from now on."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and said lazily, "You have a good life, don't you? A wretched life, short-lived, just getting things nobody wants."

Song Mingkai's lips twitched several times.

Xiao Yi and Xu Miao couldn't stop laughing.

Qin Lin looked at Jiang Li, his eyes shifting from shock to self-doubt, and then to inquiry.

Nobody ever said Miss Jiang was this good at games...

A disciple of Master Rong.

Even Xu Zhenghua had to treat him with utmost respect.

What was he pretending for all this time?!

Miss Jiang is good at the game, which means she likes it.

Qin Lin thought for a moment, then spoke very respectfully and proactively, "Miss Jiang, if you would like to watch the Fearless World Finals, I have tickets here."

This year, the popularity of Fearless World is even higher. Even Qin Lin only has one ticket to the finals, which he earned himself.

If Miss Jiang wants to see it, he will reluctantly give it up.

The other three looked at Qin Lin with envy when they heard that he had tickets.

Jiang Li casually uttered two words, "I don't want to."

Qin Lin: "..."

At this moment, a video invitation pops up on the computer screen.

Xu Miao recognized Qin Yexiao's profile picture and quickly called Xiao Yi and Song Mingkai outside.

As soon as she closed the door, Xu Miao blushed and asked Qin Lin, "Mr. Qin Lin, how many tickets do you have for the finals? If you have extras, could you...?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi and Song Mingkai also looked at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin's willingness to sacrifice for Jiang Li does not mean he has the same selfless dedication to Xu Miao.

He said expressionlessly, "One sheet, I want to see it myself, I won't give it to you."

After saying that, he coldly turned around and went back to his room.

Xu Miao: "..."

Xiao Yi and Song Mingkai: "..."

……

Jiang Li connected to the video call.

Qin Yexiao's face appeared on the screen.

A very pleasing face, with well-defined features and clean lines.

Wearing a white coat.

It's so late, and they're still not off work.

"Lin Song wasn't going to pursue the matter originally, but you ordered it?" Qin Yexiao said.

Jiang Li saw everything that happened online.

Even without Lin Song sending her a message, she could guess who did it.

Qin Yexiao looked at her, "You were quite ruthless when you stabbed me, how come you're so magnanimous to others?"

Jiang Li leaned back in her chair, ignoring the first half of his sentence, but was quite surprised by the wording of the second half. She smiled and said, "How have I been generous to others?"

Qin Yexiao had deep-set, dark eyebrows and eyes.

"You should take direct action against anyone who attacks those around you, one by one, without letting them get away with it."

"Is it self-torture to verbally attack someone who attacks you without feeling any pain or discomfort?"

Jiang Li didn't speak. After two seconds, she curled her lips into a slightly flirtatious smile, "Yes, I've done all sorts of bad things, and now I want to do some good deeds for myself."

Qin Yexiao seemed to be thinking about something, and his dark eyes deepened.

Two seconds later, he spoke in a deep, magnetic voice, "How much do you want to?"

Almost instantly, Jiang Li sensed that the topic was about to go astray.

really.

"Do you feel as much as I want to marry you?" Qin Yexiao asked slowly.

Jiang Li: "..."

He didn't let her go either.

Qin Yexiao looked at her expression, a smile playing in his eyes.

"Jiang Li." He suddenly called her name, the teasing smile in his eyes gradually fading, his dark, deep, narrow eyes staring straight at her, his voice low and magnetic, "I've saved many people, a great many, I should have accumulated a lot of merit, I'll dedicate it all to you, is that enough?"

"If that's not enough, I'm still young and should be able to save more people. I'll accumulate merit for you for the rest of my life."

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes. "Are you swearing an oath to your faith?"

"Yes, I am swearing an oath to my faith," Qin Yexiao said.

The moment Jiang Li met his eyes through the screen, it felt as if her heart and soul were drawn into a deep, unknown vortex.

Jiang Li looked at him for a while, then slowly smiled and said leisurely, "I won't try to take advantage of Master Xiao's good deeds anymore. I've figured it out now. If someone is looking for death, I'll grant their wish. That's also doing good deeds."

“It’s not about taking advantage of her,” Qin Yexiao said, gazing at her. “I’m willing to do anything for you, completely and wholeheartedly.”

Jiang Li noticed that this person was responding to her very quickly now, using formulaic, brainwashing-like techniques, one after another.

She clicked her tongue and said coldly, "All those sweet words can't hide your true intention: you want me to sleep with you."

If she were to say that, Qin Yexiao would readily admit it, then ask in a low, ambiguous tone, "So, when will you pick me from your harem and allow me to sleep in your bed?"

"This is an office area, not a deserted area. Don't you guys treat Shen Yu like a human being?"

Qin Yichen's voice came from the computer.

Jiang Li: "..."

Qin Ershao pushed open the door carrying food and immediately heard his brother uttering lewd remarks.

His brother is becoming increasingly eclectic and daring, venturing into anything and everything.

Shen Yu walked over, put the documents back in their place, turned around and greeted Jiang Li at the computer, "Miss Jiang, you and Master Xiao can pretend I don't exist."

Jiang Li: "..."

After hanging up the video call, Jiang Li went to take a shower.

Before going to sleep, she messaged Lin Song, asking him to send some tickets to the Fearless World Championship finals.

Her hearing was so acute, and given the hotel's poor soundproofing, she overheard Qin Lin and Xu Miao talking outside.

Lin Song asked: "How much do you want?"

Jiang Li checked the number of people in the main creative team group: [37].

Lin Song: [Okay.]

……

Wen Mian is the captain of one of the two teams that competed in the domestic finals.

With the competition approaching, the training schedule is packed.

Wen Mian only learned about the online uproar after the training match ended in the early hours of the morning.

A life of luxury and debauchery is the easiest way to ruin a person.

Those Minions are no longer skilled; nowadays, they don't rely on skill to survive in the livestreaming world, they just rely on piggybacking to maintain their popularity.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically named Jiang Li.

He only beat a noob, but people online are really treating Jiang Li like a pro.

Right now, the Minions are banned from all platforms and the topic is trending on social media.

It's only a matter of time before the official announcement confirms the conviction.

Qin Yexiao once again personally intervened for the sake of a woman, disregarding even his own good reputation.

Jiang is quite capable.

Wen Mian was not afraid of offending Qin Yexiao.

His grandfather is alive, his father holds a high position of power in Beicheng, and Sister Baizhi will be back soon.

Jiang Li had better behave himself and not run into his trap.

At this moment, the team manager and coach walked over.

"Young Master Wen, look at this video of Jiang Li's solo match with the Minions. Doesn't her gameplay look familiar?" The coach handed over his phone.

Aside from playing matches, the team spends their time either training or watching and analyzing videos of other teams' matches.

I will also study the techniques of some "streetball kings".

With an attitude of learning and knowing oneself and one's enemy.

Wen Mian read it twice, and frowned on the third time.

The coach had been watching his expression closely, and seeing his reaction, immediately said, "You noticed it too, didn't you? Her playing style is very similar to Freak's, isn't it?"

"You don't want to tell me you suspect Jiang Li is a freak?" Wen Mian chuckled mockingly and handed the phone back to him.

The coach remained silent under his mocking gaze, and began to doubt whether he was overthinking things.

Wen Mian chuckled and went back to his room.

The way Jiang Li operates is somewhat similar to Freak's.

However, Freak still holds the record for the highest rank score in the most prestigious region.

Dominate for all ages.

Even he himself couldn't break the record of the first division.

Is ginger freak?

Then he is Qin Shi Huang.

……

Lin Songgang has just arrived at the company.

Zuo Sheng stepped forward and said, "President Lin, the game streamer's agent called and said that Xiao Minion is willing to apologize publicly via video, or whatever apology Ms. Jiang wants, he will cooperate. He knows he was wrong and just wants to be forgiven this time."

Lin Song smiled, a warm smile, yet it carried a chilling undertone. "What does his apology even mean?"

The Minions initially wanted to ruin Jiang Li's career, so now they're using his future to pay for it—that's fair.

An apology—a few words that are utterly meaningless.
