Chapter 1011: You destroyed all of this yourself
Huo Tiancheng was a leader in the construction industry in Xiangjiang, but the group's business was basically concentrated in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, rarely venturing into the mainland.
Huo Tiancheng's ancestral home, however, was in Shengang. About two years ago, he met Lin Biqi while accompanying his fourth concubine for a prenatal checkup at a maternal and child hospital in Shengang.
At that time, Lin Biqi was like a stray kitten, going for a prenatal checkup with a big belly all by herself. She had a home she couldn't return to and was hiding alone, only to meet Huo Tiancheng when she was most helpless.
Huo Tiancheng fell in love with her at first sight. Although there was a difference of several decades in age, Lin Biqi had no way out at the time, so she desperately grabbed this straw and became Huo Tiancheng's sixth concubine in name but not in reality.
Marrying into the Huo family was not a simple matter; relying solely on Huo Tiancheng's doting was far from enough.
The five concubines were all eyeing her like tigers, especially the first wife. If she didn't nod, Lin Biqi couldn't truly marry Huo Tiancheng.
Fortunately, Lin Biqi didn't really want to marry Huo Tiancheng either, because she had more important things to do.
Moreover, she knew her time was tight; she had to make the most of his value while Huo Tiancheng was still doting on her without limit.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came faintly from downstairs. Lin Biqi stood up instinctively.
Huo Tiancheng looked at her with a smile and said softly: "There's a nanny to take care of it, you don't need to worry. It's getting late, sleep."
Lin Biqi would occasionally show disgust toward that child, but that was deliberate, because she had to constantly remind herself how that child came to be and whose it was.
And every subconscious reaction was the instinct of motherhood deep in her heart.
So even though her mind kept telling her she hated this child, hearing the baby cry, she still couldn't help but say: "I'll go down and take a look."
Huo Tiancheng pursed his lips and raised an eyebrow, not stopping her. But his brain and experience were there; all of Lin Biqi's thoughts and disguises were actually transparent before him.
It was just because he still liked her that he didn't expose her.
After six rounds of competition, Shen Xing and Xu Qinmei both advanced to the top 16 of "soloking," successfully making it to the semi-finals.
In the training room, Shen Xing said to Coach Chen with a calm expression: "Coach, the semi-finals are coming up. If the club doesn't punish Owen, then I will withdraw from the competition."
"Shen Xing, don't be impatient. I have already contacted Owen and told him to come back immediately. Who knew he would run back to his hometown? He will definitely be back in these few days, and the club will give you a result." Coach Chen was earnest, truly afraid that Shen Xing would withdraw: "The opportunity to compete is hard-won; you must not act on impulse. Besides, it's the semi-finals, and both you and Xiaomei have a chance to win the championship."
Shen Xing naturally knew that the opportunity to compete was hard-won, but he had to be firm in his attitude regarding this matter. Since Bai Lianghe had already made his threats, he couldn't remain silent. He had to align his attitude with Bai Lianghe's, make the club take this matter seriously, and seek justice for himself.
"I won't interfere with Xiaomei, but this is my attitude. If before the semi-finals start you still..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the door to the training room was suddenly pushed open. A team member looked at Coach Chen and said: "Coach Chen, Coach Haichang wants you to go over; he says Owen is back."
Shen Xing and Coach Chen's expressions froze simultaneously. Upon recovering, Coach Chen hurriedly stood up, and Shen Xing also subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Coach Chen: "Shen Xing, don't go. Leave it to me and Coach Haichang to handle."
Without waiting for Shen Xing to speak, Coach Chen promised: "Don't worry, we definitely won't tolerate it. If you don't believe me, can't you believe Coach Haichang?"
Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
In any case, he wanted a result.
In Coach Haichang's office, Owen didn't know what had happened, thinking that he had performed poorly in the competition and the coach was talking to him alone.
So as soon as he sat down, he took the lead and apologized with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, Coach. This time it was my mentality that wasn't stable, and I lost face for the club. I will definitely train hard and strive for the next..."
"Owen." Coach Haichang interrupted Owen's self-repentance, looking at him with a cold face: "Do you know that you are just one step away from turning professional?"
Owen was stunned, speechless for a moment, and only slowly lowered his head.
The office fell into a brief silence. Only Coach Haichang was heard sighing heavily. Many words seemed redundant at this time, so he directly announced Owen's result: "After the club's investigation, the fact that you framed Shen Xing for cheating and reported him to the tournament organizing committee is clear."
"Because your actions this time threatened the club's performance and reputation, the club has decided to terminate your contract and expel you."
Upon hearing this, Owen raised his head abruptly, his face full of disbelief.
The next second, the expulsion document was thrown in front of him, and Haichang's attitude was very firm: "Sign it, and you can pack your things and leave the club."
"Coach!" Owen became anxious, his scalp tingling, but he was still quibbling: "I didn't! Where, where did you hear these rumors? This is pure slander."
"Evidence? Is there any evidence?"
Of course, there was no evidence. Except for the chip found in Bai Lianghe's keyboard, there was no other evidence at all.
But the lack of evidence couldn't change the facts.
"I know you won't admit it, but it's useless. This is the club's punishment decision. As for evidence or whatever, it doesn't matter, because you know very well whether you did it or not."
Coach Haichang couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Owen, you are very talented and are at the golden age of e-sports. As long as you are willing to put your mind on technique, you are very likely to step onto the professional stage."
"But it's a pity, you destroyed all of this yourself. I had already reported your name to the professional team's candidate list. You only needed to play "soloking" steadily and get a good result to prove yourself, but now, there is nothing left."
Owen listened to Coach Haichang's words, the expression in his eyes becoming increasingly shocked.
His name had already been reported?
"No way..." Owen shook his head, eagerly wanting to confirm: "No way, Coach? You guys were clearly trying to let Shen Xing turn professional. Everyone is saying it, the list isn't me, it's Shen Xing!"
Coach Haichang narrowed his eyes and then sneered: "What are you talking about? Recommending someone is the club's decision, not whoever is rumored. Shen Xing is indeed very prominent among the newcomers, but the coaching staff has only ever considered you from beginning to end. You signed in at seventeen and played dozens of leagues, big and small. Your experience is far more than Shen Xing's; you are the most suitable one!"
