Chapter 1933: Event
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Someone who booked a room on the second floor went to the bathroom and saw the crowds of people in the main hall.
“Who are those people? Is there a company gathering?”
“I’m not too sure. These are all young people. This company is full of fresh and youthful energy, huh.”
“Haha…We were more energetic in our youth.”
“Hey, waiter. What company is this? There’s at least a few hundred in there. That’s way too many.” After having a class reunion, the old man was a little tipsy, so he was a little more curious than usual.
“This is considered as a lot? Not even 10% of the company is here,” the waiter replied almost condescendingly.
“A company that has hundreds of thousands of people? They’re all so young too! How is that possible? Jiangnan hasn’t heard of anything like this!” the old man exclaimed as his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
“They’re a gaming club. Have you heard of the name ‘Ruling Sword’? There are around 100,000 to 200,000 players in it. These are only some of the players living in Jiangnan,” the waiter proudly explained. The young people in Jiangnan who were immersed in gaming usually were fans of Ruling Sword.
“Why are there so many people just from a game? Are they able to support this many people?” the old man asked in amazement.
“This club has three or four Strongholds in the game. It’s still not easy to feed hundreds of thousands of mouths. The club earns more than most companies in real life. I estimate that Lu Li’s net worth is in the billions. He also has a girlfriend who’s richer than he is. He did all of this in only two years…” The waiter didn’t know much, but this didn’t prevent him from expressing his own opinions.
“Just from playing a game? Who would’ve thought that one could gain so much from this…”
This old man had worked tirelessly for a small company, yet these youths were at the top of the world just from playing games.
This was a different age. It would be stupid to see modern things from an old perspective.
There was bound to be alcohol at a gathering like this. Furthermore, they were mostly males, so Lu Li couldn’t escape not drinking.
He didn’t drink much.
In both of his lives, he was always shouldering the burden of his own livelihood. He didn’t dare to relax even for a moment. However, now, he had his own business and legacy and had brothers who he could trust.
Perhaps it was because he was a little tipsy, but he rose his glass and stood up.
Everyone gradually went silent and looked at him.
“Thank you everyone for coming tonight.”
“Three Brother has always asked me why I was so rushed all the time. I don’t really want to let others know this, but I’m someone who’s incredibly insecure and weak.”
“I wake up from my dreams often. This was because I’m worried that I’ll suddenly become poor.”
As he was speaking, everyone was laughing, so he was laughing too.
Everyone thought that Lu Li was joking, but in his heart, he knew that this was the truth.
“It is because of you guys that I feel secure. You guys are my support. Without you all, I, Lu Li, am nothing.”
Joke or no joke, these words were quite moving.
“Cough…cough. With that person standing next to you, who can feel more secure than you? Isn’t that right! Water Fairy!”
There was always bound to be that one scumbag who spoils the mood. Azure Sea Breeze was that scumbag.
Lu Li also felt that the atmosphere had become a little heavy because of his words, so he didn’t continue.
“Come! Let’s drink!”
“What? I only teased you a little bit and you want to make me drunk now? What are you going to do to me once I’m drunk? Don’t molest me! My god, I treat you as a brother and now you want to molest me? Water Fairy, please take care of your Lu Li!”
“Screw you. Drink your wine.”
Lu Li couldn’t stand him any longer. He held him in place and force-fed him a glass of wine.
Azure Sea Breeze originally had an angry look on his face, but that slowly went away and was replaced with a dazed look. After ten seconds, he slid onto the floor.
Someone immediately dragged him away.
He couldn’t even hold his drink for one glass. He wasn’t worthy to sit on the same table as the boss himself.
“You didn’t even wait until he was full before drinking with him.”
Although she was teased, Water Fairy still maintained her gentle and kind heart.
Lu Li on the other hand, didn’t sympathise at all.
“There’s nothing to worry about. There’s a lot of instant noodles in his room anyway, and they’re all beef flavoured.”
However, he would soon need to be sympathised with.
It didn’t matter what year it was, or what age it was. Chinese dinner tables always had a tradition of greeting the elders. Under normal circumstances, you had to go and offer a glass of wine to the leader out of respect. Otherwise, it would seem that you were not happy with the leadership.
“Boss, I’ll offer you a cup. I’m going to finish it, but you don’t have to.”
“Boss, I wish you and Water Fairy all the best in the future. You don’t have to drink, but I’m going to.”
“Boss, you’ve worked hard. Nothing else to say.”
“Boss, I’m only a street thug who didn’t have much of a future. I only have a future now because of you. I’m so happy today! Boss! Come! Let’s drink!”
It didn’t matter how much it was up to him to drink, but it would be disrespectful to not even touch the cup.
This was why Lu Li was now in trouble.
Square Root Three acted fast. He quickly stuffed himself with food and went to lie down with Azure Sea Breeze.
There was already a top figure acting like he was dead. If Lu Li did the same, then it wouldn’t look very good.
Fortunately, Lu Li could hold down his alcohol. Especially in these couple of years, he had received plenty of training. He was still standing after a whole round.
Those who were waiting to see Lu Li drunk were absolutely stunned. When was he this good at holding his weight?
After drinking for a round, Lu Li immediately handed his sister over to Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan. Then, he exited the building along with Water Fairy after saying his goodbyes.
Now that Lu Li, the boss, had left the scene, the others felt free to truly enjoy themselves.
No matter how close Lu Li seemed to the members of Ruling Sword, he was still the leader. If they messed around with Lu Li, then there would be problems.
The river that ran through the city of Jiangnan was beautiful at night. Many people would walk around here after eating dinner.
Lu Li’s hand naturally wrapped around Water Fairy’s.
There were many couples like them, walking along the river. Some were young and some were old. Old couples were supporting each other as they walked under the night sky, illuminated with the stars in the sky.
Supporting each other while walking in step wasn’t too bad either. Lu Li suddenly admired these people.
His phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.
Lu Li glanced at the message.
It was his sister. There were only a few words.
“Bro, go to the plaza. Don’t be too surprised.”
What was she up to now? Although Lu Li was reluctant, he was also quite curious as to what was happening. With Water Fairy in his hands, he walked towards the plaza.
