Mrs. Qin and the others were very happy to see Gu Zhi.
They had prepared a large table of dishes waiting for her return.
As soon as Gu Zhi arrived, a few people gathered around her. Mrs. Qin was distressed that she had lost weight, while Father Qin pulled her aside to chat for a long while about the show’s recording.
They watched whenever they had ti.
Warmth filled Gu Zhi’s heart. This was sothing she never dared to dream of before.
Mrs. Qin frowned and said, "The third one is really unreliable; what did he let you eat on the show? Hotpot and barbecue? Those things aren’t filling. Next ti, he shouldn’t go."
"?" Qin Zheng looked aggrieved, "How am I unreliable? Nowadays, who among the young doesn’t enjoy hotpot and barbecue? Besides, didn’t I make sure everyone got to eat?"
"You forgot to cook because you were busy playing gas; it was the eldest who reminded you. You’re a guy; skipping a al or two is no big deal, but Zhi Zhi is a star. She can’t go hungry; it affects her performance."
Qin Zheng: "..."
Gu Zhi: "..."
Is it possible that she’s the one who needed to go hungry?
To avoid further scolding, Qin Zheng quickly changed the subject, "Zhi Zhi, I’ve finalized the talks with the new club. They offered really great terms, and the lawyer has reviewed the contract with no issues. Once the termination process here is finalized, I can sign the contract."
Gu Zhi nodded. She had just heard from Dai Qian today that his original club, SNC, wasn’t even willing to go to court. They imdiately kneeled and agreed to a no-conditions termination with Qin Zheng, offering so compensation.
Under such public pressure, if they insisted on forcing the contract terms, they’d just be asking for trouble.
Gu Zhi said casually, "Then play your gas well in the future. Bring ho so awards."
"Mm." Qin Zheng looked montarily confused before swallowing hard and choking up, "I’ll make sure to play well and never give up, no matter what happens."
Gu Zhi nodded and clinked her drink against his.
Qin Zheng suddenly looked regretful, "It’s a pity I can’t accompany you on the show anymore."
Gu Zhi: "..."
She pursed her lips speechlessly and said, "Didn’t you just say you’d focus on playing well to buy a bag?"
"True." Qin Zheng perked up instantly at these words, saying earnestly, "I’ll definitely play well and give you all the prize money in the future!"
Gu Zhi’s lips twitched slightly.
At this point, Qin Ji interjected at the right mont, expressionless, "I don’t think it’s a pity. You can’t take good care of Zhi Zhi anyway."
Qin Zheng: "!?"
Was he really that inadequate!?
After dinner, Gu Zhi stayed at the Qin Family’s for a while longer before being driven back by Qin Ji.
In the evening, she idly browsed online and saw so entertainnt news.
The SNC Club not only agreed to terminate the contract unconditionally with Qin Zheng but also publicly issued an apology online:
SNC E-sports Club V: Regarding the shelving of player Qin Zheng, our club conducted a rigorous investigation and profound reflection, confirming the negligence of relevant staff and malicious competition within the team, leading to years of misunderstanding towards player Qin Zheng. Competing for years, God Qin indeed never engaged in cheating or violations, consistently working diligently and staying low-key. We hereby sincerely apologize to God Qin @Qin Zheng V. We’re sorry!
As of today, after careful deliberation, our club has decided to disband and dismiss all players and staff. We wish the best for the future of dostic esports!
However, netizens were not buying the apology letter.
"Trash club, get lost. Should have disbanded long ago."
"After falsely accusing God Qin for so many years, nearly ruining an esports career, can a simple apology just wash everything away? What can compensate for God Qin’s golden years?"
"/Crying. A fan of God Qin for so many years, finally an apology, and the truth. So God Qin didn’t cheat; did that loser Qiu Yang cheat or not?[email protected] E-sports Club @Qiu Yang."
"Serves them right. This is what they deserve! But does anyone know how they got so shaless yet suddenly disbanded? It’s kind of unexpected."
"Heard that the company above this club was bought by the Qi Group, and then they dismantled the club."
"Goodness, is this the small nephew’s promise on the show being fulfilled?!!"
At the sa ti, Qin Zheng and his new club also publicly announced each other online.
The comnts were flooded with blessings. The new club Qin Zheng signed with is an established one, more reputable, at least eliminating the worry of malicious competition. Old fans were relieved.
"/Clapping, clapping. That’s great, God Qin has finally joined a reputable club, and the prince of the esports circle is returning/Excited."
"@Gu Wenlin V Get the king of forcing out and let him see what the prince of esports really ans/Dog head."
"Hhh From now on, every glorious mont of God Qin will have a wannabe king crawling out to be roasted."
In addition, the matter of Gu Wenxuan taking credit for Qin Yuan’s academic results remains a hot topic.
Although the results from Jing University aren’t out yet, netizens haven’t forgotten this matter and are waiting online daily for Jing University’s handling of it to keep the subject hot.
And the Gu Family had already received the investigation results; they didn’t even need the results from Jing University—they had evidence on hand!
Gu Wenxuan was able to replace Qin Yuan’s achievents through their behind-the-scenes manipulation.
They are a prestigious family, needing impressive graduates, naturally requiring so packaging.
They originally chose Qin Yuan because he ca from a poor family with no power, unable to stir up any trouble, not even needing to be pacified with money.
But who could have imagined it was Qin Yuan from the Qin Family!!
The past few days, the entire Gu Family was anxiously worried. The investigation results from Jing University have been released—the involved advisor was directly fired, and Gu Wenxuan was also suspended!
If this matter is not properly handled, it could lead to imprisonnt.
If the implications are too great, it might even implicate the Gu Family and the Group.
Mr. Gu and Gu Mu were anxious and exasperated; without thinking, they directly called Gu Zhi.
Gu Zhi had just finished filming when she received a barrage of calls from unknown numbers. She hung up several tis, but they soon called again. Gu Zhi instantly guessed whose call it was and what they wanted to say. With a sardonic curl of her lips, she answered the call and started recording.
Gu Mu’s voice, restrained with anger, ca through on the call: "Gu Zhi, co to the Gu Family; we need to talk."
Gu Zhi sneered and curled her lips with interest, "Who are you?"
"You—stop pretending to be clueless, you know what I want to talk about. Co over; just na your price. As long as you can make Qin Yuan drop pursuing this matter, I’ll agree to anything."
Gu Zhi laughed lightly. Gu Mu, despite being clever, showed not a hint of compromise in her tone: "Do you think I care?"
"You!" Gu Mu was nearly unable to breathe with anger, "Gu Zhi, do you want to ruin your third brother?!"
