Chapter 6 Part 1
As they arrived at Xu Jimo's base, they could hear the familiar sound of laughter through the door.
Xu Jimo stopped to give her a warning first. "They might be very noisy."
Qianxi nodded several times. "A group of boys. I understand."
"It's not that kind of noise." Xu Jimo blinked and said lightly. "You'll know after you go in."
As expected, the member of KG called out as usual, "Boss," "Boss you finally come back". But, they all fell silent when they saw Qianxi.
Li Cang was usually the most crafty of the bunch and greeted Qianxi first. "Hello! Lady Boss." Cheng Yang and Cherry quickly followed suit in a stutter. "Hello! Lady Boss!" Cherry spoke English with his Malaysian accent, "Welcome."
She hadn't formally sponsored the club yet, but it seemed the boys were already very eager to please her. Qianxi felt somewhat flattered by it all and shook her hand with embarrassment. "....Don't call me lady boss. It makes me sound too old."
Xu Jimo looked at her, lost in thought.
Li Cang sensed that there was something amiss. Boss had instructed them to treat the financial supporter well and quickly modified her title. "Right, right, right. Young Lady Boss!"
The others parroted. "Hello, Young Lady Boss!"
Qianxi gave up the struggle and stared at Xu Jimo for help. But he silently watched the show in amusement. It was a headache at times to manage the awkward bunch of boys but the moment they saw a sponsor, they were lining up to kowtow to her. Good for them.
He spoke after a long while and simply asked, "Where's Wei Lai?"
Someone answered, "Oh, he went to work on his homework. His class teacher came to get him and he won't be back for a while."
Xu Jimo frowned. Most of the team members, like him, were around the age of twenty and treated esports as their profession. Only Wei Lai was still in school because he was too young. It was hard for him to handle training and studying simultaneously. Playing professionally and academics were destined to be two completely different paths. Wei Lai's skill was at the top of KG, but there were many variables about his future.
But his focus should be on Qianxi at present.
She looked around then asked, "Didn't you say that you are all training here usually? What do you use for training?"
"In the training room." Xu Jimo answered. "There haven't been many competitions lately, so the training is a little bit lighter. They can take you to get familiar with the game if you want to play."
Qianxi had already been briefed by Qin Xiao on the popularity level of this video game. She asked in surprise, "Can I?"
Li Cang answered promptly. "Of course! Since Wei Lai is not here, we can't do our training. Boss, you come with Young Lady Boss and play together~" Cheng Yang together with Li Cang, led Qianxi into the training room. They sat at their usual seats, while Qianxi set in Wei Lai's position.
Li Cang enthusiastically started chatting. "Young Lady Boss, do you play video games usually? What game do you like to play?"
"I do. My elder cousin has many PS4 DVDs, like <Tomb Raider> and others. I played all of them." She gestured an expression of "I'm very experienced."
Li Cang opened his mouth, but then swallowed the words he was going to say.
Xu Jimo leaned forward to help Qianxi sign onto an internet account and help familiarize herself with the computer. Finally, he casually signed into one of his alternate ids and said. "Just use this."
