The phone number belonged to a woman named Zeng Xiaorou.
Ever since he bought his car at the 4S dealership, she had been calling him frequently, asking him out.
Initially, Qin Xuan could politely and tactfully refuse.
But after several attempts, she had directly implied that he could do anything he wanted to her.
Although Qin Xuan was aware that some women would do anything for money, he still found it utterly preposterous when she said it!
He had encountered gold diggers before; Liu Ying was one such example.
But he had never met anyone so direct.
So, Qin Xuan decided to be upfront and told her he already had a girlfriend.
To his surprise, she didn't care at all.
Not only did she continue to harass him with calls, but she shamelessly said things like, "I don't need a title, I can just be a mistress."
Enraged, Qin Xuan cursed her out, telling her to stop bothering him.
After that, Zeng Xiaorou didn't call for a while.
So when she called again now, he wasn't sure if she had something important to say.
After a moment's thought, Qin Xuan pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, Zeng Xiaorou's voice came through.
However, this time, her voice lacked its usual fawning and flattery. Instead, it was filled with contempt and disdain.
"Qin Xuan, you just have a bit of money, so what? What's so great about that?"
"I, a lady,主动 invited you to meet, and you were so hesitant. Do you really think you're someone important?"
"And you call me shameless? What are you pretending to be so pure for?"
"Don't let me see you again in the future, or I'll scold you every time I see you!"
Beep, beep, beep...
Listening to the dial tone, Qin Xuan was completely bewildered.
It was clear that she had been harassing him from the beginning, so how did it turn into his fault?
He blocked the number directly. Such women were truly inexplicable.
Upon returning to his residence, Hu Zi'an was already playing games. Seeing Qin Xuan return, he closed his computer and said very seriously, "Boss, I've figured it out."
"I want to play professionally, not be an owner. So I won't be buying this team."
"Since you've already bought iG, why don't I just be a player on your team? What do you think?"
"That's fine."
"As long as you're willing, I have no objections."
Qin Xuan took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and handed one to Hu Zi'an.
"But you should think carefully. If your skills aren't as good as Jack's, you'll only be a substitute."
"There's quite a difference between being a substitute and a starter."
"It's okay, if I can't compete, then that's how it should be," Hu Zi'an replied.
"But boss, are you really going to buy back all five players from iG?"
"Their recent performance hasn't been as brilliant as before."
"Moreover, Baobao and Ling Wang haven't played in several seasons."
"Can they really do it?"
Qin Xuan nodded. "Don't worry. After playing with Brother Shanjī today, I realized that the skills of professional players are just so-so."
"Even if they're not good enough, I can just step in to cover for them."
"My goal is to make this iG win all the championships next year. As for anything else, it doesn't matter."
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Hu Zi'an's eyes twitched.
The skills of professional players are just so-so?
Win all championships next year?
Besides keyboard warriors, probably only a pervert like the boss could say such things.
Just as he was about to go out for dinner with Hu Zi'an, Qin Xuan received a call from Wang Sicong.
The final accounting for iG was complete.
Including all the esports divisions and various competition fees, the total came to 1.25 billion.
As long as he paid directly, he would obtain full ownership of iG.
Qin Xuan had no reason to hesitate. After agreeing on a meeting time, he took Hu Zi'an to the iG base.
Seeing Qin Xuan and Hu Zi'an again, Li Wenjing was a little surprised.
They had just left in the morning, so why were they back in the afternoon?
Perhaps they were here to sign the contract?
Before he could ask Qin Xuan, he saw his boss walk in with a few people.
"Qin Xuan, let's go. I've brought the lawyers, and the contracts are all prepared."
Qin Xuan nodded and followed Wang Sicong back into the conference room.
"Aren't you going in?"
Li Wenjing was stunned as he looked at Hu Zi'an, who was waiting outside.
He had thought that Qin Xuan and Hu Zi'an came together because they had discussed joining the team with the boss.
But now that it was time to sign the contract, Hu Zi'an wasn't going in.
"The two bosses are signing contracts, why should I go in?"
Hu Zi'an found Li Wenjing's question a bit baffling.
However, on second thought, he figured the other person probably didn't know what Qin Xuan was here for.
So he added, "Anyway, there's nothing for me in there, so I don't need to go in."
Li Wenjing nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, and said no more.
It was only half an hour later that Qin Xuan and Wang Sicong emerged from the conference room.
"Li Wenjing, from today onwards, this is the sole owner of iG. If you have any matters, report directly to him."
"As for the managers of other divisions, we have a group chat. I'll add you to it later."
Wang Sicong first spoke to Li Wenjing, then turned to Qin Xuan.
"Do you have some time later?"
"I'm having a gathering tonight, and quite a few people will be there. I can introduce you."
Qin Xuan glanced at Hu Zi'an. Seeing that he had no objections, Qin Xuan politely replied, "Okay, thank you, Principal."
Wang Sicong waved his hand. "It's nothing."
"Let's go. It's at the Junyue Hotel over there, not too far."
After saying that, Wang Sicong led Qin Xuan and Hu Zi'an away from the iG base.
It wasn't until a message was sent in the WeChat group that Li Wenjing awoke from his shock.
He opened his phone and looked at the group chat, finding Wang Sicong introducing Qin Xuan to other managers.
Only then did he give a wry smile, lamenting the unpredictability of life.
Who would have thought that a talented player who came for a tryout would transform into the team's sole boss?
Qin Xuan and the others were naturally unaware of Li Wenjing's musings.
However, as they walked along the road, Wang Sicong suddenly became interested in Hu Zi'an.
Staring at him, he finally asked tentatively, "Are you Hu Zi'an?"
"From the Hu family in the Southwest?"
Hu Zi'an responded with an "Mm," "Principal Wang recognizes me?"
Wang Sicong shook his head.
"I don't know you, but recently your family has released some information, asking us to take care of you if we encounter you."
"Grandpa said that?"
"Yes, Old Master Hu said so."
Hearing Wang Sicong's words, Hu Zi'an fell silent.
Qin Xuan also understood the underlying meaning of this statement.
Although on the surface, Hu Zi'an's grandfather was merely asking others to look after his grandson.
But in reality?
He was providing teams and funding, and personally vouching for Hu Zi'an to the outside world.
Wasn't this his way of grooming him to be the next heir of the Hu family?
