Chapter 132

"That's right, it's Jiang Yuanliang."

Shen Ci nodded gently but didn't say much more.

She had only met Uncle Jiang twice, and one of those times was when he was unconscious. Shen Ci wasn't sure if she could connect with him, so she didn't rush to give Senior Brother Luo and the others unnecessary expectations.

But after the dinner ended, Shen Ci contacted her mother at the first opportunity.

Shen Jingjing was practicing dance at home, and her forehead was still covered in a thin layer of sweat when she answered her daughter's video call.

"Oh, practicing dance?"

Shen Ci looked at her mother's firm and glowing skin in the video and couldn't help but say: "You're in great shape lately, you look several years younger. It seems I made the right choice in having you learn to dance."

Shen Jingjing picked up a towel to wipe her sweat before saying: "I haven't done less beauty treatments either. You too, charging so much money into a beauty card, and charging so much for a dance class for me, making it so I have to go, what a waste!"

"How is it a waste? Look at your current state, you don't look like someone in your forties at all. If you said you were thirty, people would believe you."

Shen Jingjing was amused by her daughter. Seeing that her daughter was still out, she couldn't help but change the subject and ask: "Why are you still out so late?"

"I was having dinner with the team. Mom, I have a serious matter to ask you."

Without waiting for her mother to press, Shen Ci asked directly: "When Uncle Jiang came to the house before, he left a business card on the table. Do you still have it?"

"Uncle Jiang?" Shen Jingjing was a bit confused for a moment, as if she couldn't remember who that was.

"The Uncle Jiang who had anaphylactic shock that you saved in the restaurant not long ago." Shen Ci reminded her.

Shen Jingjing then realized: "Oh, him. The business card, right? I remember I put it away, let me look for it!"

As she spoke, she got up and walked to the storage area in the living room to rummage, not forgetting to ask her daughter: "What do you want his business card for?"

"The team's new project wants to connect with the Jiang Corporation, and I want to try to contact Uncle Jiang to see if there's a chance."

Shen Jingjing knew her daughter was investing and starting a business in Longcheng, but she didn't understand the specifics. Upon hearing this, she just asked subconsciously: "This person's group business is very big, can you talk to them?"

Shen Ci wasn't sure either, but that's how business is; you can't miss any possible opportunity. You have to try to know whether it will succeed or not.

"Oh, found it!"

Shen Jingjing picked up the business card and shook it at the camera: "Then I'll take a picture and send it to you?"

"Okay." Shen Ci responded, then hurriedly asked: "By the way, Mom, is Xingxing's competition over? He promised me that after this match, he would focus on reviewing for the college entrance exam!"

"It's tomorrow. He insisted that I go to the scene to cheer for him, but I don't understand it. Your aunt is also planning to go take a look, as if she could understand it. I'll take a video for you tomorrow!"

Shen Ci nodded with a smile and chatted with her mother for a few more words before hanging up.

Her mother quickly took photos of the front and back of the business card and sent them to her. Shen Ci cropped and saved the phone number from the image, hesitating in her heart whether to contact him tomorrow or wait until the project's first round of testing was successful.

On October 17th, the "Gods Alliance" National Autumn Tournament was held at the Shengang City Sports Center Gymnasium.

This was a large-scale online team competitive game that was popular worldwide, testing the players' individual operational ability and awareness, as well as the team's collaborative ability and operations.

All major competition zones were divided into four national tournaments: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The teams were ranked based on the total points from the four tournaments. The top three teams in total points in the China competition zone would be the qualifying teams, representing China in international competitions against international teams from other zones.

The international tournament for this game was watched by players worldwide, and the gold content of the championship was very high. The MVP player even received an individual prize of up to 300 USD.

However, the small team Shen Xing was in was currently just a wild team. Unlike other professional teams that registered through their esports clubs, wild teams registered for the tournament themselves and had to pay a registration fee to compete.

There were quite a few such teams, and wild teams needed to compete in preliminary and breakout rounds online first. Only the final 8 winning teams had the opportunity to compete against professional teams from domestic clubs in today's offline grand finals.

Making their debut in the autumn tournament, they obviously didn't have points from the spring and summer tournaments, so this year they just wanted to participate and get some training; they had no obsession with winning a ranking.

Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying arrived outside the gymnasium and were shocked by the scene of surging crowds.

All around were young people, both men and women, as well as fan support groups with light boards and posters. Some popular professional players even had support activities outside the venue.

Support cars, support flower screens, and support flags were everywhere, just like chasing stars!

"Do these young people have nothing to do? How much energy and money does it take to do all this?" Shen Yingying looked at the dazzling scene, feeling very unable to understand.

Sui Sui also chased stars, but at most, she would buy magazines or posters; she had never done anything like this.

Shen Jingjing naturally didn't understand either, but they were older, and there were many behaviors of young people they couldn't understand; they were just out of touch.

The two of them held the tickets Shen Xing bought for them and followed the crowd through the ticket check, finally finding their seats after a long time.

Near the start, the gymnasium was already full of people, and team fans began to shout support slogans in unison, making the roof tremble.

And it was one wave after another!

Shen Jingjing and her sister gradually got used to it from their initial discomfort, and even felt that these young people, full of vitality and vigor, were very youthful and passionate.

It was even a bit moving.

They didn't understand the competition rules, let alone the game rules; they only remembered Shen Xing saying that they were the second team to play, called the "SYBF Team."

Translated into Chinese, it meant "Nobody is convinced"!

The four large screens suspended in the gymnasium played the intense match. The sisters tried hard to understand the game and the rules, but finally found it impossible. They could only judge which side won through the passionate commentary of the announcer.

"Sister, I'm dizzy just looking at the screen. How can Xingxing and the others understand such a complex game?"

Shen Jingjing smiled and said: "Young people's brains react quickly, unlike us."

As they were talking, the second pair of teams took the stage. Shen Xing's team was unlucky; the opponent they drew in the first round was a professional team.

Seeing her son walk onto the stage from afar, Shen Jingjing also became excited and screamed and cheered along with the young people around her.

Shen Yingying stood up directly and waved her hands: "Xingxing! Xingxing!"

Shen Xing was also looking for his mother and aunt's location. Seeing them, he couldn't help but grin, looking not nervous at all.
