Ming Kai's Second Midsummer Night's Dream

Outside the door.

The Factory Director and Abu walked up to Xu Cheng, sizing him up. The old ancestor Saiwen immediately put on a "the world focuses on you" smile.

Just as he was about to speak.

Xu Cheng spoke first: "Are you Xiao Kai?"

Almost reflexively, the Factory Director straightened his back and blurted out, "Ah, big brother, it's me!"

Pah!

As soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself. How could I be so obsequious? Why did I jump in like that?

Just as he was about to regain his composure and give Xu Cheng a little taste of EDG's might.

Xu Cheng had already glanced him up and down and commented, shaking his head, "You're a bit old."

Pfft!

"Uh... cough cough, I think we should go inside to talk first..."

Abu, standing beside him, couldn't take it anymore.

Damn it, you had your chance, and you blew it!

On the way here, he had repeatedly told himself that he needed to establish his authority the moment he met Xiao Xu, to make sure Little Xu knew his place.

But the very first thing he said upon meeting him was a complete failure?

"Wait!"

"Oh? What is it?"

Xu Cheng was startled and looked at him with confusion.

The Factory Director's cheeks flushed, a wave of frustration building up inside him, unable to be expressed. Gritting his teeth, he was about to call out "Little Xu"—

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of familiar faces from various clubs eating inside the steamed bun shop and looking their way.

The words he was about to say were swallowed back down. They took a sharp turn, and he shouted with a beaming smile, "Big brother, why aren't you taking better care of yourself!"

"On such a cold day, standing outside, what if you hurt your back!"

"Please take care of your back!"

Abu: "..."

Xu Cheng felt a warmth spread through him and walked over to pat the Factory Director on the shoulder: "Xiao Kai, you really know how to care about me."

"Haha, it's what I should do, what I should do..."

The Factory Director feigned politeness while grinding his teeth in frustration—

How did these jerks get here so fast?

Damn it, just you wait. Once I lure you into the team, you'll see what I do to you!

After making such a "vow" in his heart, the Factory Director and Xu Cheng quickly became acquainted.

They had already "chatted online" for so long. The others were here to poach talent, but the Factory Director was here for a netizen meetup, a face-to-face!

This was the Factory Director's second Midsummer Night's Dream!

Could those two concepts be the same?!

Therefore, after learning these details, Xu Cheng's parents' attitude towards the Factory Director and Abu became noticeably more amiable.

But as mentioned before, they didn't make any promises.

After everyone finished eating, a whole team of lawyers arrived in the afternoon.

Upon seeing the team of lawyers, all dressed in black suits and ties, the RNG representative's face turned pale.

Damn it, I thought it was just one lawyer, but you brought a whole bunch!

Are you prepared for three entries and three exits?

Setting aside RNG's apprehension, after the legal team arrived, the contracts from the various clubs were also carefully reviewed.

In the end, the lawyers responsibly informed Xu Cheng's parents that apart from the RNG contract, the contracts from the other clubs had no major issues.

Hearing this, the RNG representative was so angry his nose was practically crooked.

He's slandering me, he's slandering me!

Xu Cheng's family glanced at the RNG representative with surprise but said nothing. The other industry peers exchanged knowing smiles.

After reviewing the contracts, Xu Cheng's parents had also made inquiries through various channels about these clubs and knew they weren't scams or pyramid schemes.

This dispelled their biggest concerns.

However, some matters still needed to be resolved, so everyone stayed at a nearby hotel that evening.

Xu Cheng's parents planned to discuss it with Xu Cheng himself.

They still wanted to make a final attempt to "persuade" him.

One night passed.

The next day.

The Factory Director arrived at the steamed bun shop early in the morning. He generously booked out the entire place to support Xu's family business, then waited for Xu Cheng to arrive.

After eating, Father Xu, Mother Xu, and Xu Cheng were in the steamed bun shop, informing everyone of the results of their discussion last night—

Xu Cheng himself wanted to try playing professionally. He had already looked at the contract yesterday. Setting aside which club he would go to, there was one thing that had to be made clear before they made their choice.

Because Xu Cheng would be entering his third year of high school next year and his academic performance was usually very good, after discussing it with Xu Cheng, Father and Mother Xu ultimately chose a compromise.

Xu Cheng would study for half a year and then participate in competitions. If his results were outstanding and he obtained a recommendation qualification, then he could choose to play professionally.

In other words, the signing of Xu Cheng would be postponed by half a year.

As soon as this condition was presented, all the clubs that were previously impatient and treated Xu Cheng like a treasure immediately fell silent, not uttering a word.

"This is the best plan we could come up with. If we let Cheng Cheng drop out of school immediately, we would never accept it."

Mother Xu's tone was firm; this was the greatest concession a mother could make.

In reality, this point alone was already much better than many parents of the same age.

"We know, but... to say something you might not like to hear, Cheng Cheng has talent, but the golden age for professional players only lasts a few years. Wasting half a year now means the contract terms will be different from before."

"That's right. We suggest you reconsider... Honestly, if it weren't for the World Championship this year... the biggest league in the world I told you about before, being held in China, we wouldn't be so eager to sign someone right now."

The club representatives shook their heads one after another.

These reasons were only part of it. More importantly, after signing Xu Cheng, they had originally planned to train him for a spring split—

After all, no matter how talented you are, entering the professional scene always requires adaptation and training.

Half a year was already very short.

After half a year, their highest expectation for Xu Cheng was that he could help the team compete in the S Tournament.

But now, Xu Cheng's side would delay for half a year. Not only would he miss the already scarce training time, but if he didn't touch LOL for half a year, even the best talent would probably go to waste!

Who would even know you then?

"We're sorry... we cannot compromise on this point."

Mother Xu said the words apologetically, but her face showed no regret.

Looking at Xu Cheng, he just listened quietly because, in his heart, this was already the perfect solution.

Rejected!

Many representatives mentally drew a cross next to Xu Cheng's name.

The RNG representative couldn't even bear to stay any longer—

It wasn't that he feared Xu Cheng's legal team or was afraid they would break RNG's "invincible golden body" and get away clean.

He simply felt that there was no point in wasting any more time on Xu Cheng.

After all, the other party hadn't even played a practice match. No matter how good his talent was, it hadn't been proven in actual combat. After half a year of idleness, who the hell would he be?

Others had similar thoughts, but they still exchanged a few more minutes of conversation with Father and Mother Xu.

Finding that there was truly no hope, they regretfully shook their heads and left one after another.

Finally, only the Factory Director and Abu, who had been standing by without saying a word, remained in the shop.

"You guys aren't leaving?"

Xu Cheng asked in surprise.

"Leave? Why would we leave?"

The Factory Director blinked his eyes. "I came here to sign you. I won't leave until I've signed you!"

???

"Didn't you hear what was just said?"

Xu Cheng was a little astonished. He truly hadn't expected that the Factory Director would still be here, wanting to sign him, after hearing the conditions.

"I heard it, but... I just want to ask one thing."

The Factory Director licked his lips and said with a smile, "While you were talking, Abu already sent someone to revise the new contract..."

"Brother, when do you have time... to sign the contract?"

"Sign it now?"

Xu Cheng was stunned.

"Sign it now!"

The Factory Director said with a serious expression.
