Chapter 818: New project, cooperate again

Yu Qian's words made Shen Xing and the others laugh.

Guo Yu wore a dark, handsome face and glared fiercely at the group. Only now did he realize that he had actually been played.

He had smugly sought out Yu Qian, the last one to join the team, thinking she didn't have deep feelings for the others on Shen Xing's team, and believing that money could make the devil turn the mill.

But clearly, he had miscalculated this time!

"Guo Yu!"

At this moment, the club president, Guan Rui, chased after him. She came to a stop in front of Guo Yu and said softly, "Although you can't participate in the University League, there are still many other offline competitions in Longcheng. If you are willing to participate, I can help you register."

Other competitions?

Those were all bush-league competitions; he wouldn't compete in those!

"I rented a base and formed a team just to play in the University League. Now you're telling me to participate in other competitions? Then what was all the money I spent in the beginning for?"

Bai Lianghe couldn't help but say, "It counts as you having money!"

Shen Xing looked at Guo Yu and spoke without mercy: "Actually, it's all the same. Even if there were no new regulations for the tournament, and you had successfully made it to the University League stage, the final result wouldn't have been any better."

"The fundamental gap between us is a gap in skill, and in esports, skill is the most important thing. Losing in front of a national audience versus losing here—I actually think losing here is better."

"You don't really think that just because you made it to the University League, your skills would suddenly skyrocket, do you?"

Ignoring Guo Yu's livid complexion, Shen Xing signaled for his teammates to leave. As they turned around, everyone couldn't help but deliberately cast a provocative glance at Guo Yu.

The situation had developed strangely; everyone on Shen Xing's team had, to a greater or lesser extent, annoyed Guo Yu.

At noon, the flight from Funan to Longcheng landed on time.

Su Zheyuan was at the arrival gate to pick them up.

"A-Ci, Auntie, come, give me the luggage."

Su Zheyuan took the luggage proactively. Shen Jingjing looked at her daughter with surprise, and then heard Shen Ci explain proactively: "Gao Zhan had an emergency surgery, so I called Zheyuan over."

"Thank you for your hard work, Zheyuan," Shen Jingjing said, looking at Su Zheyuan.

Su Zheyuan waved his hand with a carefree laugh: "It's nothing, Auntie, I just happened to be free."

After dropping them off at home, Shen Jingjing relaxed completely upon returning to her own space. She took off her shoes and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Mom, you rest for a while, I'm going to the studio."

Shen Ci changed into a simple outfit and went out again with Su Zheyuan.

"Was the hometown fun?"

In the car, Su Zheyuan asked casually.

Shen Ci gave a cold laugh; everything was understood without being said.

She thought for a moment, then opened her phone and sent a message to Gao Zhan, telling him she had returned to Longcheng.

At the studio, in Luo Tianrui's office.

Two cups of coffee were placed in front of Shen Ci and Su Zheyuan before Luo Tianrui sat down: "The agency rights for that overseas terminal project aren't easy to secure. I've flown abroad twice, and the progress hasn't been satisfactory."

"Have you figured out the reason?" Shen Ci asked.

Luo Tianrui shook his head in a troubled manner: "The other party seems to have many concerns. The price we offered is already very good, but it's still not working."

"What about the Li family? Have they made any progress with the other party?"

"The Li family is also still in negotiations and has agreed to the other party's initial asking price. Moreover, one of their senior executives is currently in Longcheng, invited by the Li family to attend their group's new artificial intelligence product launch." ===== CHAPTER 819 =====
