To Defeat Scum, You Must Start Early, My Lady - Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Chapter 499 She didn’t expect such a warm person (Third Release)

Luo Xiaolang looked up at Joe.

Joe’s lips curved into a smile, “I just truly admire you.”

“Thank you,” Luo Xiaolang expressed her gratitude.

It’s rare for someone to recognize her like this.

Joe said, “Just take a look, we won’t disturb you.”

“Actually, I don’t really understand all of this, can I ask you a few questions instead?”

“Go ahead.”

“Do I only need to dedicate 2 hours every day?”

“In general, practice sessions are, but when it comes to competitions, you may need to spend the entire day. Some international competitions might take up to a week, or even longer. The longest competition we’d participated in lasted three months.” Joe didn’t want to hide the fact that competitive gaming can be time-consuming, he added, “However, we can make an exception for you and allow you to bring your family along.”

Luo Xiaolang bit her lip, “Are there a lot of competitions?”

“If you don’t particularly enjoy competing, I’ll try to arrange fewer for you.”

“My Little Tiger is still too small, I’m afraid he won’t adapt to being on the move all the time.”

“I understand. During your early stages here, I’ll try to only arrange domestic tournaments for you. We can consider international ones once you feel more comfortable.”

“Okay.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

She genuinely felt that this man was considering everything from her perspective.

“Right, do I train online or do I need to go to your place?”

“It’s tough to develop a strong rapport with your teammates online, so real training usually takes place at a specific location. In fact, my team usually lives together for better coordination and understanding of each other’s habits, leading to perfect coordination in the game. But don’t worry, you won’t need to live with us. Just two hours a day is sufficient.”

“Is your place far?”

“Not far,” Joe replied.

An Qing interrupted, “It was initially far, but Joe decided to rent a few apartment floors in this housing community to accommodate you.”

Luo Xiaolang looked at Joe skeptically.

Joe didn’t deny it, “I’ll try my best to accommodate your needs.”

Luo Xiaolang felt she didn’t need to scrutinize the contract anymore.

She asked, “Do you have a pen?”

“Are you really not going to review it any longer?” Joe looked a bit surprised.

“Mmm. I trust you,” Luo Xiaolang smiled faintly.

It was such a pure smile that left Joe somewhat astounded.

He didn’t expect Luo Xiaolang to be such a straightforward person. This was something he couldn’t perceive from the screen, but up close in person, he could deeply perceive that this girl, was completely devoid of schemes, as pure as a blank piece of paper.

Luo Xiaolang took the pen and signed her name.

Joe looked at the contract and said, “You can continue streaming as long as it doesn’t interfere with the training. But you’ll need to give it up if it conflicts with training and competitions.”

“Alright.”

“Currently, I’m looking at properties in this community. Once the new studio is established, I’ll start your training. I’ll give you a heads-up then.”

“Alright.”

“I won’t disturb you anymore,” said Joe.

“Okay.” Luo Xiaolang didn’t insist on his stay.

Joe and An Qing made their way to the door, and Luo Xiaolang escorted them.

Suddenly, Joe asked, “Is your son named Little Tiger?”

Stunned, Luo Xiaolang nodded, “Yes.”

“What a cute name.”

A smile crossed Luo Xiaolang’s face, “I think it’s very cute too.”

When she first picked the name, the Yin family didn’t seem to like it.

Now, someone complimented the name.

“I hope next time I can see him when he’s awake.”

“Our boss loves kids,” An Qing chimed in.

“Okay.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

“We’ll get going. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

Luo Xiaolang watched them leave.

In Jin City, the man she had the most contact with was Yin Qin, and the one she could remember was Ji Baijian, not counting her master Wei Ziming, whose presence didn’t ache her heart. So, she had no idea that there were other men in the world, gentle men who were totally different from Yin Qin.

She could feel that she didn’t dislike Joe at all.

She initially thought she would reject interactions with outsiders, but the only reasons she had been persuaded were because of Joe’s hefty offer and his mention of serving the country.

She couldn’t resist meaningful endeavors.

…

At the Commercial Management Agency.

Song Zhizhi was sitting in the spacious conference room.

Ye Wenhan was personally presiding over a meeting.

Song Zhizhi just watched him.

She watched him, astonishingly at ease, deeply indifferent, even seeming somewhat thrilled by the idea that he would now make all the decisions, all after he had personally killed her father.

Was this man truly heartless?

What on earth was she thinking back then?

“Manager Song, is there something on my face?” Ye Wenhan unexpectedly spoke up.

Song Zhizhi turned to him and smiled, “Mr. Ye’s presentation was so vivid, I couldn’t help but lose myself in it.”

“So, what have I just said?” Ye Wenhan raised an eyebrow, intentionally provoking her.

Song Zhizhi replied, “Mr. Ye was discussing a traffic plan for the old city area.”

“Does Manager Song have any suggestions?”

Song Zhizhi looked at Ye Wenhan.

This man truly enjoyed making things difficult for her.

A newly proposed plan, and he expected her to respond immediately.

She stood up from her seat and said, “The main reason the old city’s traffic is so strict is because it’s the original city center where numerous large corporations are gathered. During commuting hours, those places become the most congested areas. In the past, there weren’t as many cars, now every family has at least one sedan. Additionally, the roads in the old city are significantly narrower than those in the newly planned areas. In my personal opinion, to truly alleviate the pedestrian congestion in the old city, we can’t just construct flyovers one-sidedly. More importantly, we should consider relocation. Moving most corporations to relatively remote industrial parks, expanding the roads, and only then considering the locations that need flyovers.”

Ye Wenhan simply watched Song Zhizhi.

Every time, he was unable to find any flaws in the plans proposed by Song Zhizhi.

He said, “Good, your analysis is spot on.”

“Thank you for your agreement, Mr. Ye.”

“I agree with what Manager Song said. When renovating the old city, we can’t just focus on improving a single area or a single place. We need to treat the cause as well as the symptoms. We need to relocate the old city. The workload is extensive, so we all need to work together.”

“Yes.”

“Tomorrow morning, the CEO’s office will hand me the plan and arrangements. At 3 p.m., we will hold a meeting to confirm the final plan.”

“Yes.”

“Meeting dismissed.” Ye Wenhan left after only leaving this sentence.

The others also began to leave one after another.

Song Zhizhi returned to her office.

Before Qian Guanshu died, he had constantly proposed a plan to rebuild the old city area. It seems that Ye Wenhan wasn’t idiotic, he knew to follow the instructions his father left behind, doing things that would gain the people’s hearts.

But… could Ye Wenhan really carry it out?

She picked up the phone to call Ji Baijian.

The familiar, ambiguous voice answered on the other end, “Madam.”

“Are we certain we can proceed against Ye Wenhan now with no reservations?”

“Has Madam thought of a good method?”

“One Ye Wenhan does not require my husband to take action.”

“I’m grateful for my wife’s vote of confidence, whatever my wife says shall be.”

“Is there genuinely nothing to worry about?”

“My wife can act boldly, any trouble that comes up, your husband will shoulder with you.”

“You said it.”

“Mm-hmm.” came the confirmation from the other side.

“Good.” Song Zhizhi’s mouth turned cold.

It’s time she repaid the blood debt.

Ye Wenhan’s time of frolicking had lasted too long. He should receive the lesson he deserved.

At 3 p.m. the following day.

Ye Wenhan convened the second Commercial Management meeting.

The CEO had thoroughly prepared all the plans, all Ye Wenhan had to do was issue the commands.

After the work was arranged, he asked, “Does anyone else have any questions? If not, we can dismiss the meeting.”

“I have one.” Song Zhizhi spoke up.

Ye Wenhan looked at Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi said, “Carrying out such large-scale reconstruction in the old city area, especially in Yanshang Country’s most prosperous capital, would inevitably draw attention. Even the slightest mishap could incite public anger. I personally think that when carrying out the demolition, we should take into consideration compensation for both businesses and individuals.”

Ye Wenhan furrowed his brows, “What do you mean?”

“It’s simple, you want businesses to move, you want individuals to willingly leave, you have to pay them to win over their hearts.”

“I will give them compensation for the demolition.”

“But compensation would be used to establish new companies or buy new homes. It’s not guaranteed that everyone would understand this.”

“Manager Song, please speak your mind.”

“I think at this time, commercial management should allocate funds for concessions, providing incentives and subsidies for businesses and individuals. Only then can we assure the complete success of the relocation and rebuilding project.”

Ye Wenhan simply watched Song Zhizhi.

He felt that this woman was up to no good.
