Chapter 362: They Are Such a Good Match
Inside the venue, golden ribbons fluttered and danced across the sky.
This match used a best-of-three format; Xingchen won two consecutive games, bringing it to an early conclusion.
At the commentary desk, the commentators were still savoring the brilliant match that had just concluded.
Below the stage, the fans of Xingchen could no longer restrain themselves, looking toward Shen Yi's direction one after another.
"Delete the account! Delete the account! Delete the account!"
Everyone shouted these two words in unison, with a momentum just like their argument with the fans of Shadow Team on the internet over the past two days; at this moment, they finally vented their pent-up frustration!
Jiang Baobao listened to the chanting of the entire arena with some amusement, turned around, and happened to meet Shen Yi's sinister gaze.
Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow and simply walked straight toward him.
Her actions immediately attracted the attention of the entire arena, and the director cut the camera feed directly to the two of them.
"Boss Shen, you shouldn't have forgotten the bet between us, right?"
Jiang Baobao reminded him with a smile.
"Of... course." Shen Yi squeezed these two words out through gritted teeth.
Jiang Baobao nodded with satisfaction, then pretended to "casually" remind him: "That day was too rushed; actually, there are many details we haven't confirmed yet. For example, the live-streamed account deletion I mentioned should be today. I wouldn't want Boss Shen to be too busy with official business and delay it to who knows when. I will be watching the Shadow Team's official live-stream channel until 12:00 tonight."
Jiang Baobao was smiling, but the words she spoke sent a chill through Shen Yi's heart.
He had indeed intended to use his lack of time as an excuse to drag this matter out.
After all, no one wanted to just delete an account they had spent so much time and effort on.
But Jiang Baobao did not give him that opportunity at all.
A dark glint flashed in the depths of Shen Yi's eyes, and his gaze toward Jiang Baobao carried a hint of coldness.
The next second—
"Boss Shen, as a man, you should be willing to accept a loss. The legal department of Li Corporation will also be monitoring the live stream the entire time until you fulfill the agreement."
Li Beijue had walked down from the spectator seats at some point and was standing behind Jiang Baobao.
Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, a look of surprise quickly flashing across her face.
Why did Li Beijue run down here?
It was just a bet... there was no need to involve the legal department, right...
Jiang Baobao thought to herself, but she didn't say anything, merely looking at the livid Shen Yi before her with a gentle, spring-breeze-like expression.
The officials also hadn't expected Li Beijue to suddenly intervene, so they hurriedly cut the live stream that was still in progress.
This immediately caused dissatisfaction among a large number of viewers.
"Very well! I will fulfill the agreement!"
Shen Yi dared not say anything in front of Li Beijue; he gritted his teeth, threw out that sentence, and turned to leave.
Jiang Baobao suddenly spoke up again: "Wait a moment!"
Shen Yi's footsteps faltered.
Jiang Baobao said with a smile: "There is one more thing I forgot to say. I thought about it carefully; since it is a bet between the two of us, let's not implicate others. I previously said that all the staff of Shadow Team had to delete their accounts, but I've changed my mind now. Only Boss Shen needs to delete his account."
Shen Yi clenched his fists tightly, nearly vomiting blood from anger, and strode toward the backstage area.
Jiang Baobao curled her lips, a sense of satisfaction flashing in her eyes; she was in an extremely good mood.
Just as she intended to take a few team members back to the preparation room, she suddenly felt someone gently pat her head.
Jiang Baobao's entire body stiffened instantly, and she took a step back, shaking off Li Beijue's hand.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a serious expression and a hint of nervousness.
Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment; he paused for two seconds, not knowing how to describe it.
He had just wanted to do that, so he hadn't deliberately controlled himself.
Jiang Baobao's appearance just now looked exactly like a kitten that had won a fight, making one want to pat its head to soothe it.
Several team members who walked over also saw that scene, and they immediately exchanged meaningful glances.
"Boss, are we... coming at a bad time?" Xiao Ding asked with a cheeky grin.
Jiang Baobao immediately rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "You talk too much! Hurry back and get ready for the interview!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and left toward the backstage area without looking back.
Li Beijue shook his head helplessly, turned his head to glance at the bodyguard who had been hiding in the spectator seats, and signaled for him to bring the three little ones over.
Backstage—
Jiang Baobao took a few team members to finish the interview, and the group excitedly planned to go out to celebrate.
Jiang Baobao had booked a restaurant early on and drove the group there directly.
As soon as they entered the private room, the few of them pulled out their phones in unison.
Seeing this, Shen Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh: "Can't you guys rest for a bit? You're in such a rush to play on your phones right after the match?"
As soon as his voice fell, he saw the five of them simultaneously turn their phone screens toward his direction.
Every person's screen showed the same image.
The official live-stream channel of Shadow Team.
Shen Lingfeng: "..."
Jiang Baobao watched from the side and had already burst into laughter; while laughing, she also grabbed her phone, intending to look at the comments on the forum.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she opened it, the top post was about Li Beijue!
Jiang Baobao looked curious and hurriedly clicked to take a look, but her expression changed as she read.
Although the officials had cut the live stream at the time, the audience sitting in the front rows still knew what had happened.
Some people even recorded it directly and uploaded it to the forum.
At first, the comments were quite normal, all discussing Li Beijue's identity, along with a few comments shouting things like "President Li is so handsome."
Until a certain floor—
【Are you guys missing the point? Am I the only one who noticed President Li dotingly patted Lisa's head!】
From this point on, the direction of the post turned into a discussion about what kind of relationship the two of them actually had.
Some people even boldly speculated that Li Beijue investing in the Star Team was simply to pursue Lisa!
The rest were comments from everyone expressing that the two of them looked pleasing to the eye standing together, and were also a good match.
Jiang Baobao: "..."
The investment was clearly something she had earned by drinking her heart out!
Also, where were the two of them a match?
She really should let these people see what he looked like when he was fierce and menacing toward her before!
Thinking this, Jiang Baobao subconsciously picked up the wine glass in front of her.
But before she could even touch it, she was stopped by someone.
"This kind of wine has a high alcohol content; I've already had someone swap it for something else. You probably don't want to get drunk today, right?"
Li Beijue's voice came from beside her ear, making Jiang Baobao's nerves tense up instantly.
Ever since she found out his intentions, she had absolutely no idea how to face him.
The things from their past, occasionally flashing through her mind and then compared to the present, only made Jiang Baobao feel incomparably ironic and wistful.
Some things, once missed, are missed forever.
