Chapter 139: 136. Playing Games with Prince Haiman (First Subscription Bonus 4/9)
Since he had decided to use Prince Haiman for publicity, Zhang Ran did not stand on ceremony with him, preparing to maximize the effect.
Besides, if they didn't livestream, who would know that Prince Haiman also played this game?
The reason it was Ning Qing's Game Club was, firstly, that Ning Qing had indeed helped a lot during this period, so it counted as a form of repayment.
Secondly, this club could also be considered the first investment of his daughter-in-law, and it could barely be counted as an asset of the Zhang Family, so helping out was only right.
Thirdly, that fellow Meng Mingxuan had not chosen to establish a Game Club at the time, so he could only choose Ning Qing.
Prince Haiman had no objections to this, only saying to Zhang Ran in a huff: "You really don't stand on ceremony."
Liu Lu nodded; she actually couldn't quite understand the significance contained within it.
Ning Qing was still at home digesting the news brought by her father; she was already prepared to strike out on her own.
After all, the family business was to be left to her eldest brother, and she had no intention of competing with him, so Ning Qing had long been prepared.
Her jewelry company had even opened, though its scale was currently very small.
The reason she had befriended Liu Lu in the first place was that Ning Qing actually intended to see if she could buy a piece by Master Andrew from Zhang Ran to serve as a signature item for her shop once their relationship was close enough.
But now that Zhang Ran actually knew Prince Haiman, and having heard from her father that Zhang Ran and Prince Haiman had an excellent relationship, Ning Qing was somewhat excited.
Prince Haiman's industries were world-renowned in the luxury goods sector; if she could climb this mountain, she dared not imagine what the future would hold—perhaps she might even surpass the industry her father had founded?
Just as Ning Qing was lost in her daydreams, she suddenly received a call from Liu Lu. Upon seeing the caller ID, Ning Qing became completely excited.
Taking a deep breath, she slowly suppressed her agitated mood: "Sister Lu."
Liu Lu said: "Xiao Qing, sorry to disturb you so late."
"It's nothing, nothing at all. Sister Lu, is there something you need?" Ning Qing decided that no matter what Liu Lu said, she would do her utmost to satisfy Liu Lu's request.
But Liu Lu's next words left her completely stunned: "My father-in-law just said to have you go to the company and find a professional player to livestream, just playing that game developed by my husband's company called *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds*, and to play with my father-in-law and Uncle Haiman then."
"Okay, when does the stream start?" Ning Qing said subconsciously, but then she reacted: "Uncle Haiman?"
Liu Lu assumed Ning Qing didn't know Prince Haiman's identity, so she just said: "Mm, he's a friend of my father-in-law, and he wants to play some games tonight."
Ning Qing's heart was pounding wildly; she felt as if she were in a dream. At this moment, she was absolutely certain of what her father had told her: Prince Haiman and Zhang Ran had a very good relationship.
Unlike Liu Lu, who was a novice regarding business matters, Ning Qing was very clear about the promotional effect that Prince Haiman's identity could bring.
Zhang Ran was using Prince Haiman to help Sicheng with publicity, and Prince Haiman hadn't refused, actually agreeing to it.
And it even counted as a livestream; such a promotional effect was simply unimaginable!
"Okay, I understand. I'll go handle it immediately." Ning Qing's voice was somewhat strained.
Liu Lu thought she was troubling Ning Qing, and even said quite apologetically: "Xiao Qing, sorry to trouble you so late, really sorry."
"It's fine, this is what I should do." Although she said this, Ning Qing was screaming internally: Please, have more trouble like this!
Hanging up the phone, Ning Qing quickly dialed the number of the Game Club Manager, her tone very urgent and serious.
"Immediately have Cheng Yi and the others all assemble. I have something to tell them. Have them all put on makeup and maintain their best state. Tell them, whether they can become famous overnight depends on their luck!"
After finishing, she didn't wait for the Manager to reply, immediately hung up the phone, then threw on two pieces of clothing and rushed out directly.
Thirteen minutes later, Ning Qing arrived at the Game Club.
She saw Cheng Yi and these female professional players she had selected.
When Ning Qing originally selected the club members, she looked at appearance first, and technique second. She also had her own plans, wanting to see if the club really had a certain level of popularity as Zhang Ran said, which could fully benefit her jewelry business.
But now Ning Qing had an urge to regret; she really should have chosen someone with good technique back then. Now she was only afraid that Cheng Yi and these people's skills weren't up to par.
Seeing Ning Qing in such a flustered state, Cheng Yi and the others were all quite curious. In the time they had spent with Ning Qing, she had always been calm and composed, with a very dignified demeanor; this was the first time they had seen Ning Qing so uncomposed.
"Draw lots first." Ning Qing didn't waste words, directly writing a few slips of paper, then conducting a draw.
She didn't decide who would go herself; after all, her relationship with Cheng Yi and the others was the same, with no distance or favoritism, so doing it this way was the fairest.
Cheng Yi and the others all followed suit. In fact, they were all curious in their hearts why Ning Qing said this was a good opportunity to become famous overnight.
The final result was that Cheng Yi won the draw. Ning Qing didn't delay, directly saying: "Cheng Yi, you go livestream *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds*. Someone will be teaming up with you then. Remember, you must keep your composure!"
Cheng Yi nodded obediently, but still asked curiously: "Ning Jie, who is it?"
The others all looked over as well. Ning Qing took a deep breath and said slowly: "One is Manager Liu's father-in-law, and the other is Prince Haiman from the UK!"
Once these words were out, Cheng Yi and the others were all dumbfounded. Prince Haiman?
Really?
"Don't just stand there, hurry up. Remember, don't panic!" Ning Qing urged.
"Oh, oh oh." Cheng Yi responded twice with a dazed expression, but clearly hadn't come back to her senses yet.
Prince Haiman!
She would actually be able to play a game with Prince Haiman one day?
No wonder Ning Qing said it was an opportunity to become famous overnight!
If it were true, she dared not imagine how much fame this would bring her!
"If you can't do it, we'll have someone else go." Seeing her like this, Ning Qing frowned and said.
"No, I can do it, Ning Jie, I really can." Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi was immediately scared back to her senses. If she missed this opportunity, she would rather kill herself.
The others had also come back to their senses by now, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy as they looked at Cheng Yi.
Two young girls even started pinching their own hands, hating them for not being more competitive just now.
It was too late to regret now!
PS: There's more tonight!
