With his claim, the room suddenly became silent.
Reflexively, San Lang turned towards Qiao Lian. She was frowning deeply and looked back at him.
The captain froze and said, “What did you say?”
Monochrome gave a cold humph and squatted to pick up the wad of money, ignoring a few notes that had come loose and fallen from the pile. He stashed the wad back into his briefcase and looked up at the captain. “Exactly that! I’ve gotten in touch with Xiao Qiao, who’s Purple Fairy now, and she’s agreed to my suggestion. Also, I’ve invited her to be the spokesperson for my video game.”
The captain was so furious that his finger shook as he pointed to the man and said, “You- you are really shameless!”
Monochrome’s lips curled upwards into a smile as he said, “I’m shameless indeed, so what? This is what businessmen are like. We will do whatever it takes to achieve our goal. As for you people… humph!”
He looked at the people in the room and continued, “I’ll tell you honestly, I’m not afraid of you slandering me online. Will people think that the mysterious Zi Chuan is dead just because you say so? Who can prove that the person who died was Zi Chuan? As long as Xiao Qiao says he’s alive, then that’s what he is.”
His tone was exceptionally smug when he said this.
The captain shook with anger. “You- you-”
Monochrome raised an eyebrow and sneered, “Oh… one thing… I’ve invited Xiao Qiao over tonight. If you have any objections, feel free to tell her!”
At these words, his cell phone rang.
He looked down at the incoming call ID and picked up immediately. “Oh, you’re here? Just come up to the private room number 888.”
After hanging up the line, he looked at the crowd and said with an icy smile, “I’ve paid Xiao Qiao a million to be our spokesperson. You’d be very naive if you even think that she is going to be on your side!”
At once, everyone in the room fell silent.
Monochrome twitched his lips. After a short time, they heard a knock on the door.
Monochrome called out, “Come in!”
The door swung open and Purple Fairy walked in. She was beautifully dressed up. But when she saw the crowd in the room, she halted with surprise and asked, “You are…?”
Flas.h.i.+ng a showy wide smile, Monochrome said, “This is a gathering of our compet.i.tive team.”
Then he motioned to her as he said, “Xiao Qiao- oh… That’s not right, now I should address you as Purple Fairy. Come here quickly, let me introduce these people to you.”
Monochrome was currently the boss of the video game, and Purple Fairy was the game’s potential spokesperson. For the sake of securing this deal, she of course had to go for broke. Hence when she heard what Monochrome had said, although hesitant, she eventually walked in.
Of course, she knew that she wasn’t the real Xiao Qiao.
Because of this, she had never taken part in these activities to avoid the risk of exposing her true ident.i.ty.
Yet right now, she had no choice but to enter the room, no choice but to convince them that she was Xiao Qiao. Otherwise, she may not be able to swing the deal.
After she coached the King Team and lost the compet.i.tion, Mr. Sun was furious and disbanded the team. He had even demanded his money back for all the expenditures that were deemed unnecessary. This had resulted in a significant reduction in income for the female caster.
In the recent times, she had fallen into dire straits. Clinching this deal as a spokesperson would allow her to return to the eSports industry once more.
At this thought, Purple Fairy frowned and then walked in gracefully.
There were many people in the room and Qiao Lian had hidden herself in the crowd, hence, Purple Fairy did not notice her. She stood before the crowd in a natural and unrestrained manner, and introduced herself, “Hi, how are you? I’m Xiao Qiao.”
