Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

Chapter 23: The Sudden Surge in Popularity

With his mind disconnected from the system's communication, Jiang Chengyu looked at Wang Sicong and said decisively.

"What you said sounds interesting. I'm going to give it a try."

Wang Sicong's smile was undisguised.

"I knew you'd be interested in this!"

"Let me tell you, now is the perfect time to get in."

"My ACE Alliance is pushing for a single-team system in the LPL."

"To put it bluntly, the league now stipulates that a club or owner can only have one LPL team."

"So now many clubs are selling off their reserve teams."

"Several million may not be a lot of money for us, but it's a lot of money for others."

"I have a friend, I don't know if you know him, his name is Ding Jun."

"He's the owner of VG, and he still has a second team that he hasn't sold yet."

"If you're really interested, I'll contact him, and we can meet and talk about it sometime."

Jiang Chengyu nodded, about to discuss the matter further, when he heard the flight attendant's announcement from above.

The plane has reached the airspace above Shanghai and is about to land.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengyu took back what he was about to say and nodded.

"Okay, then please make the contact."

Wang Sicong also knew that now was not the time to discuss the matter in detail.

"No problem, let's exchange contact information after we get off the plane."

"I'll contact you after I finish talking with Ding Jun."

That's right, despite seeing each other so many times in one day, the two still don't have each other's contact information.

This shows that the two had a rather ordinary first impression of each other and had no intention of socializing.

The plane landed quickly.

The two exchanged green bubble emojis and phone numbers at the airport.

Neither Jiang Chengyu nor Wang Sicong realized that they were being filmed by someone else.

After exchanging contact information, Jiang Chengyu, with Zhang Ruonan, and Wang Sicong, with Zhang Yuxi, parted ways.

However, the coincidences are not over yet!

Jiang Chengyu hadn't even driven out of the underground parking lot when Wang Sicong's voice came through the open car window into his ears.

I didn't hear the specific details clearly.

But the general idea seems to be that there's a problem with the car.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chengyu turned the steering wheel and drove in the direction from which the sound came.

Before long, Jiang Chengyu saw Wang Sicong standing in front of a McLaren making a phone call, while Zhang Yuxi was leaning against the car door, looking down at her phone.

Jiang Chengyu drove the car up to Wang Sicong.

"Is there a problem with the car?"

"Yes, I don't know why it won't start."

"So you're just waiting to deal with the car?"

"No, I called someone else to handle it."

Jiang Chengyu nodded: "Then where are you going?"

"If it's on my way, I can give you a ride."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong put away his phone: "I'm going back to Tomson Riviera, is it on my way?"

"Really?"

"What's real or fake?"

"I'm amazed at how coincidental our meeting is today!"

Wang Sicong looked completely bewildered: "What are you talking about?"

"I also live in Tomson Riviera, and I'm going back now."

Wang Sicong's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're not kidding me?"

"Why would I need to fool you?"

"Holy crap, that's such a coincidence, it's almost unbelievable."

"Enough talk, get in the car."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong immediately turned to greet Zhang Yuxi.

"Come on over, you don't need to wait for the bus."

"Let's go in Jiang Chengyu's car."

After Wang Sicong and Zhang Yuxi got into the car, Jiang Chengyu stepped on the gas and drove towards Tomson Riviera.

The car was not quiet on the road.

Wang Sicong and Jiang Chengyu continued their conversation from the plane.

However, the conversation was all rather pointless.

Wang Sicong gave Jiang Chengyu a basic lesson on the LPL league and the S-series.

After finishing that conversation, Wang Sicong turned to Ding Jun, who was currently selling off his second team member.

The two are good friends who often play together.

This person is also a second-generation rich kid.

My family is in the clothing business, Huading Group.

This conversation didn't go very deep.

Because we arrived at our destination before we could explore the area further.

Four people got out of the car in the underground parking garage.

Before parting, Wang Sicong was still talking about his career.

"Wow, we live so close to each other!"

"I'll call Ding Jun when I get back and ask him if he has any free time recently."

"If nothing unexpected happens, come to my house for dinner tomorrow or the day after, and we'll discuss the team's situation there."

Jiang Chengyu nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

This time, the two have truly parted ways.

Jiang Chengyu didn't believe he could run into Wang Sicong in his own home.

That's obviously impossible.

But today is really strange, one thing after another has happened suddenly.

Jiang Chengyu went into the house and lay down on the sofa, while Zhang Ruonan went to the kitchen to wash fruit.

Before he could even savor the softness of the sofa, the phone rang.

The person making the call was Yan Min.

It's nothing serious, just asking him his clothes size.

The production team has prepared suits for the guests in the next episode of "Go Fighting!"

You can't just buy a one-size-fits-all suit; it will look terrible.

Then the artist coordinator tried calling his assistant but couldn't get through.

Yan Min then called Jiang Chengyu.

Yan Min did nothing wrong, but Jiang Chengyu didn't know what size clothes he wore.

Shouting at Zhang Ruonan in the kitchen, he asked her for her clothing size, then turned and told Yan Min.

After a few more casual words, the call ended.

Before I could even catch my breath after putting my phone away, the system's mechanical voice suddenly sounded in my mind.

[A large number of popularity points have been detected and are being continuously calculated...]

Jiang Chengyu was a little confused. What popularity score?

Where does the popularity stat come from?

Before I could figure it out, Zhang Ruonan came running from the kitchen with a fruit platter in her arms, looking surprised.

"Brother Yu, look at Weibo, you're trending!"

Upon hearing Zhang Ruonan's words, Jiang Chengyu immediately confirmed the source of the large amount of popularity points indicated by the system.

This only made Jiang Chengyu more confused.

He didn't do anything!

The press conference announcing the change of ownership of Vientiane Live will not be held until next week.

What's trending on social media right now?

While puzzled, Jiang Chengyu's hands were not idle.

Take out your phone and open Weibo.

A quick glance revealed that Jiang Chengyu couldn't find his name on the trending topics list.

He then looked up at Zhang Ruonan, puzzled.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"Take a closer look at the second most searched topic."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu focused his attention on his phone.

The next second, his face turned ashen.

The second most trending topic was: "[Two of the biggest scumbags in the Chinese server meet in a historic moment! (Breaking news!)]"

I clicked in and took a look.

The photo that catches the eye is of him and Wang Sicong exchanging contact information at the airport!

The comments below further increased Jiang Chengyu's blood pressure.

"The Nation's Ideal Woman VS The Nation's Husband!"

"With these two together, I'm asking you, who else is there?!"

"The value of these two is still rising; just look at the women they're with!"

"Who are they targeting, those two hanging around together?"

"Actually, these two are incomparable. Wang Sicong can only match Jiang Chengyu in terms of quantity, but in terms of quality, Jiang Chengyu wins hands down!"

"What the person upstairs said is wrong. Jiang Chengyu has fallen behind in the last two years, while Wang Sicong is showing signs of catching up."

"Jiang Chengyu's record has indeed decreased significantly in the past two years."

"Do you think Jiang Chengyu has settled down, or has he just given up?"

"I don't care about anything else, I just want to know what these two are talking about."

"And also, do they offer classes? I want to sign up..."
