Chapter 23: Li Beijue, You Can't Outplay Me

~7 min read 1,366 words

Jiang Baobao let out a cold snort, imitating Li Beijue's manner from just a moment ago, and said, "Since President Li has conditions, I would like to hear them as well."

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, meeting her stubborn eyes.

When she had entered just now, he had heard that the Team Jiang Baobao brought was a championship Team, which was indeed somewhat surprising.

But now...

Li Beijue pondered for a moment and said coldly, "The condition for the contract is that your Team must be able to win the World Championship every single time!"

"Are you kidding me? Are you crazy?" Jiang Baobao immediately couldn't help but widen her eyes and retorted.

Electronic sports are also a competition; who can guarantee they will be the champion every time?

Even if one could cheat openly, it wouldn't be like this!

Li Beijue sneered, "Can't do it? Then it seems the championship Team is nothing more than that."

Jiang Baobao felt a breath instantly stuck in her chest, and she retorted without showing any weakness: "It seems President Li's understanding of the esports circle is nothing more than that. No Team can make such a guarantee. We will all give our best in competition, but we will always encounter stronger opponents. Since our ideas are different, I can voluntarily give up the investment and look for other more suitable companies. President Li can also look for someone more capable!"

Jiang Baobao dropped these words neither humbly nor arrogantly, and the heavy stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground.

This is fine too; anyway, she didn't want to cooperate with Li Beijue in the first place!

Li Beijue paused slightly, his expression tightening...

As expected, she still liked to shirk responsibility just the same!

She wanted to write off what just happened like this?

Not that easy!

Li Beijue let out a cold snort and suddenly leaned a bit closer to Jiang Baobao.

Then, lowering his voice, he threatened, "Jiang Baobao, with just one word from me, inside or outside the country, who else do you think would dare to invest in you?"

"Li Beijue, you!"

Jiang Baobao glared at the man in front of her and immediately couldn't help but clench her fists.

Could he be any more despicable?

To actually use such methods!

Jiang Baobao was not lightly angered; her chest rose and fell continuously, and her eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Yet she also knew that with Li Beijue's power, he could indeed reach this level.

She did not want to bow her head to Li Beijue like this. After thinking for two seconds, she replied with a tough tone: "So what if there is no investment? This lady has money, and I have plenty of ways!"

"Is that so?" Li Beijue suddenly curled his lips into a smile, but that smile carried a certain amount of disdain.

His gaze slowly fell upon that small face, which appeared even more beautiful because of her anger, and a strange feeling suddenly flashed through his heart.

Li Beijue couldn't help but frown.

What right did Jiang Baobao have to clamor with him here?

Today, he must make her bow her head!

His gaze swept around and suddenly landed on the waiter who was pushing a champagne cart over.

Li Beijue raised his hand, and the waiter walked over toward this side.

"Changing the condition is also possible." Li Beijue casually picked up a glass of wine, his voice suddenly raised, instantly attracting the attention of many people around.

"As long as you drink all the champagne on this dining cart, I will implement the investment I just mentioned. No matter how much money you want, I can give it to you at triple the amount. How about it?"

As he spoke, he casually picked up a glass and handed it to Jiang Baobao.

A burst of low discussion immediately arose around them.

"Isn't this President Li being too ruthless? There are at least thirty glasses there..."

"Who's to say he isn't? Did our beautiful boss offend President Li?"

"Tsk, there's a good show to watch today..."

Jiang Baobao listened to the surrounding discussions with cold eyes, and the look she gave Li Beijue was so cold it almost froze into ice.

In this kind of setting, no one would help her.

What's more, she had just won against the boss of the strongest Team in the country.

Now almost everyone in the room was eyeing Li Beijue, this piece of fat meat, wishing she would back out now so they would have a chance to pick up the scraps.

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her face...

She would definitely make Li Beijue regret this!

Immediately after, she was heard saying with a sweet smile: "Since President Li is in such high spirits, then I will respectfully decline your offer—no, I will gladly accept!"

Li Beijue was stunned, losing his focus for an instant; the smiling face of the woman before him seemed to overlap with the Jiang Baobao who used to always hover around him years ago.

Seeing her speak, she did not take the wine glass from his hand, but instead picked up the champagne from the cart directly and downed it in one gulp!

One glass...

And another...

Jiang Baobao put down the empty glass in her hand and quickly picked up another, downing it the same way, with great speed.

The arc of Li Beijue's lips was somewhat stiff, and the fingers holding his wine glass were also tightening in waves.

He had not expected that Jiang Baobao would actually dare to agree, and actually dare to drink.

He had originally thought she would give up or soften her stance...

While he was thinking, Jiang Baobao had already downed five or six glasses of wine.

A flush of pink appeared on her small face in an instant, which only made her look more charming and added a touch of beauty to her appearance.

Li Beijue opened his mouth, his expression hesitant for a moment, but he still swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

She was the one who agreed to it!

This kind of woman was not worth his soft-heartedness!

Jiang Baobao's eyes were fixed tightly on Li Beijue in front of her, glass after glass, continuously downing the wine...

Meanwhile, the people nearby watched in trepidation...

"President Li, this... isn't this drinking a bit too much..."

Liu could hardly bear to watch any longer; he stepped forward two paces, wanting to offer some persuasion.

Li Beijue gripped his wine glass, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, yet his voice remained as cold and hard as ever as he said, "Let her drink!!!"

"..." Jiang Baobao rolled her eyes at Li Beijue, let out a cold snort in her heart, and picked up another glass.

It was not until every wine glass on the cart had become empty.

Only then did her figure sway, feeling top-heavy and unable to stand steadily.

Damn... I still overestimated my alcohol tolerance; it's all that damn man Li Beijue's fault!

The rest of the onlookers were also stunned by the scene before them.

Just how many more surprises is this woman going to create tonight?

Although the alcohol content of champagne is not high, even men wouldn't drink like this!

Li Beijue did not speak; watching Jiang Baobao unsteadily holding onto the dining cart, he then said indifferently, "Very good, you can come find me tomorrow to discuss the contract!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao shook her head.

"Wait, it's not over yet..."

As she spoke, she reached out and snatched the glass of champagne from Li Beijue's hand, downing it in one gulp!

The next second, she let go.

With a "clatter," the glass hit the floor and shattered into pieces.

Jiang Baobao suddenly laughed out loud.

"This time... it's really finished..."

"Hehehe... Li Beijue, you can't outplay me; I wanted one billion from you, and triple that is three billion..."

Sure enough, the moment her voice fell, she saw Li Beijue's expression immediately turn very ugly.
