“Soulmate, who are you indirectly cursing?” Lin Ruxian laughed and teased.
Li Hong chuckled but didn’t explain anything.
As they laughed, the ferry bus quietly stopped at a docking area in Jingcheng City District. The passengers inside began to gather their luggage and disembark.
After returning the auntie's coat, Li Hong picked up Yuchen and smiled at Lin Ruxian, saying, “I’ll be leaving now. Goodbye, big star!”
Yuchen also raised a hand to wave goodbye, saying, “Goodbye, pretty sister!”
“Goodbye!” Lin Ruxian replied, picking up her bag and watching the father-daughter duo get into a taxi and disappear from sight.
“Lin Ruxian, who was that man?” asked a middle-aged man who had come to pick her up, frowning.
“It’s nothing, just a father and daughter I met on the bus. Dad, don’t overthink it,” Lin Ruxian explained lightly.
The middle-aged man standing in front of Lin Ruxian was her father, Lin Zhengfeng.
Hearing his daughter say this, Lin Zhengfeng felt relieved. He then explained, “Lin Ruxian, don’t blame me for being overly cautious. It’s unavoidable; the last incident with Dubin was already enough to give me a headache. What if you bring back someone unreliable?”
Lin Ruxian rolled her eyes and replied irritably, “Dad, enough already! I’m 24; I know what I’m doing. That was ages ago with Dubin; why are you still bringing it up?”
“Why can’t I bring it up? If I hadn’t caught that guy, how would I have known my good daughter was dating in high school?”
Lin Zhengfeng said sternly, “Let me warn you; that guy already has a child. If you do something unacceptable, just watch me break his legs.”
Lin Ruxian couldn’t help but smile wryly as she explained, “Dad, I told you not to jump to conclusions. That was the Boss from Fist Game—the very game you play. We just happened to meet on the ferry bus, and I was discussing a collaboration with him. Can you please calm down for once?”
“The Boss from Fist Game? Discussing collaboration?” Lin Zhengfeng repeated those words in disbelief before staring blankly and saying, “You’re kidding me, right? That guy looks younger than you; how could he be the Boss of such a big company? Listen here; don’t think your dad is easily fooled just because I didn’t study much.”
"Well, believe it or not. It's not really a big secret; you can just look it up online," Lin Ruxian said, covering her forehead in exasperation.
Seeing Lin Ruxian so serious, Lin Zhengfeng was taken aback.
Could it be that the guy really wasn't his daughter's boyfriend?
However, since his daughter had firmly denied it and even suggested he check online, Lin Zhengfeng decided to let go of his doubts.
"Alright then, that's good to hear. Let's hurry up; your mom knows you're coming back and specially made you a bowl of dumplings late at night."
As he spoke, Lin Zhengfeng took the bag from Lin Ruxian's hands and led her to a black sedan parked by the roadside.
...
The next morning, Li Hong arrived early at the headquarters.
After setting up the projector, he quickly convened a general meeting for all representatives of the AE Alliance.
The main agenda was to ensure that all major regions would start their competitions on time and to briefly discuss Lin Ruxian and the Women's Team.
In modern society, it's quite convenient; a conference with thousands of participants can be conducted with just a computer and a projector.
As the video conference began, Li Hong, as the leader of the AE Alliance and also representing the Goddess Alliance Official, kicked off with the first topic.
The schedule for the competitions in each region!
Once this topic was raised, it sparked intense discussions among the representatives. This was crucial for the fundamental interests of every club, making it impossible not to take it seriously.
"There are more clubs in LPL; I think we can start earlier," Scallion was the first to voice his opinion.
At the early start of the tournament, having a few extra days before the World Championship was a rare opportunity for every team aiming for the title.
The representative from the Korean Server, Brother Li Hong of SK Club, frowned and said, "There are many clubs in LK as well; we also need to start the tournament earlier."
"I second that. Our North America region has many clubs too, and we request an early start," said the representative, a young man of Chinese descent wearing black-framed glasses. Due to his resemblance to a certain anime character, everyone called him Big Brother.
After Big Brother spoke, the representative from the Europe region also followed suit, requesting an early start.
In an instant, four regions had applied for an early start. The remaining regions, which had been considering making similar requests, were quickly deterred by a glare from Li Hong, instantly abandoning their unrealistic thoughts.
It was no joke; these four regions were strong and had the confidence to demand an early start. However, they could finish all their matches in just a few weeks—so why rush?
Seeing that these regions had such impractical ideas, Li Hong swiftly put a stop to it.
In simple terms, Li Hong was pleased to see LPL, LK, North America, and Europe—the Four Major Regions—requesting an early start.
After all, there were numerous clubs in these Four Major Regions. If they didn’t start early, they might not even have time to rest later on.
These regions were the main forces of the World Championship; if they didn’t rest well and performed poorly, there would be little worth watching at the championship.
Thus, Li Hong quickly agreed to the requests for an early start from these four regions in his capacity as the leader of AE Alliance.
It was already July, and time was tight. Therefore, after this meeting, these four regions would begin their respective League's Opening Matches and ranking matches. The remaining regions could afford to delay their tournaments until mid-August without any rush.
With this pleasant decision made, representatives from various clubs had no objections. Even those from other regions had no complaints. Although they didn’t gain any advantages, at least they weren’t at a loss either.
After concluding the discussion about the tournament schedule, Li Hong immediately brought up the topic of promoting the Seven Fairies Squad into the LPL League series.
When this topic was raised, everyone was stunned.
In a time when esports were dominated by men, a team composed entirely of female players emerged. And judging by Li Hong's demeanor, it seemed she was fully supportive of it.
Women's teams had appeared in the history of esports before, but most had not achieved significant success, often fading away quickly.
To be honest, the emergence of the Women's Team significantly increased the attention on the League, a fact that many club representatives were aware of. With the Women's Team joining the LPL, even several clubs within the LPL had no objections.
However, there were still concerns about whether this Women's Team would meet the same fate as those historical teams, quickly falling into obscurity.
Li Hong was naturally aware of these worries and soon revealed that the club was backed by Lin Ruxian.
Upon learning that Lin Ruxian would be the owner of the Seven Fairies Club in the entertainment industry, these individuals felt reassured. With such a strong backing, it seemed unlikely that they would fade away.
Thus, under Li Hong's deliberate promotion, this topic was quickly approved. The Seven Fairies Squad, or Seven Fairies Club, effortlessly secured a spot in the highest level of the National Server League LPL.
