Chapter 399 New Team Member, Mr. Wen
After taking a screenshot of her team information, Ning Yao edited the caption and casually posted it to her WeChat Moments.
Guan Ying plays on the side lane, Cui Mengmeng plays mid lane, Xin Yujue plays marksman, and she plays jungle.
Their team needs to recruit another member, preferably someone who mainly plays support.
Ning Yao rarely posts on WeChat Moments, but she has quite a few followers. This post had already garnered over thirty likes in less than a minute, and the comments below were ridiculously numerous.
Mo Fei'ao took the lead: [I can play both tank and support, sister, look at me, pick me for your team, I guarantee we'll get first place!]
Chen Xuezong: [Need a support player? Can I learn on the spot? What kind of support player do you like?]
Yang Dongcha: [Aren't there any mid-lane positions for me? I only like playing mid-lane! Kick your team's mid-laner and let me play!]
Lian Qiran replied to Yang Dongcha: "You play support, kick the marksman out of the team, and I'll fill the marksman role. We'll have some sweet interactions and dominate the bottom lane together."
Upon seeing this, Ning Yao almost burst into a burp.
This dose of PDA was truly shoved into Ning Yao's mouth; she had no choice but to accept it.
Executive A from a foreign company: [Mr. Ning, I saw Valkyrie in your hero pool, are you selling her? I'll offer 10,000 yuan.]
Company executive B replied to executive A: "That's a limited edition, only three in the entire server. You think you can buy it for ten thousand yuan?"
Company sycophant: [Boss is awesome! I couldn't achieve this result even if I had ten more years!]
Ning Yao looked at the comments, her fingertip lightly swiping across the screen as she scrolled down.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue sat on the right and left sides, respectively, both staring intently at Ning Yao's WeChat Moments.
"Wow, it's so lively, Yao Yao! How many people are in your WeChat Moments?" Cui Mengmeng asked with a sigh.
"More than a thousand, I guess," Ning Yao replied, then looked at the growing number of comments below and was instantly stumped.
"There are quite a lot of people signing up. How should we select team members? What are your thoughts?"
"You need to know a lot of support heroes so that they can complement our team composition. It's best to play tank supports so that you can protect people."
"You need to have a good mindset. I don't like people who complain when they don't perform well. It's so satisfying to turn the tide when you're down."
Hearing this, Ning Yao silently crossed Mo Fei'ao off the list. He was like a powder keg, not to complain, but probably because he would scare the two girls, Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue.
Chen Xuezong has a good temper, but he doesn't look like someone who plays games. He'll just be a hindrance if he comes.
Just as she was hesitating, her phone screen was suddenly filled with incoming call notifications; it was Wen Tingye calling.
"I want that spot on your team. Don't give it to anyone else. I'll come to the teachers' apartment to find you after I'm done with these next two days." The man's voice was deep. The environment on the other end of the phone was relatively quiet, with only a few people occasionally whispering.
"Did you see that clearly? I need a support role. You, the dignified CEO Wen, are you going to let a few of us girls play support?" Ning Yao reminded Wen Tingye that their team was only lacking a support role right now, and they shouldn't even think about the other positions.
"Get someone else to make room for me. I'll play marksman, and you can play support," Wen Tingye said on the other end of the phone, sounding completely justified.
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
If that's the case, it seems like she's seen him somewhere before?
Ning Yao: "That won't do. The positions in our team have already been fixed. Don't come and cause trouble."
Wen Tingye raised an eyebrow: "As your boyfriend, the captain, don't you have any special privileges at all?"
Ning Yao decisively refused: "No."
Wen Tingye: "Are you sure?"
The man's tone clearly carried a blatant threat.
Ning Yao wasn't buying it. What else could Wen Tingye do to her? At worst, she'd lock all the doors and windows at night!
Wen Tingye sneered: "Then I'll have to bribe other teams so you can't even get into the preliminary rounds."
Ning Yao gritted her teeth and cursed, "You dog of a man!"
Wen Tingye: "You're a dog's girlfriend, so aren't you a dog's woman? You two are quite a match."
Ning Yao was surprised that the usually gentle and aloof Wen Tingye would say such a thing, and her anger soared.
She belatedly realized that she had gotten herself into a trap...
I never knew that Wen Tingye had such a face beneath his noble and handsome exterior; he was simply a scoundrel.
"I have something to do, so I'll go now. See you tonight, my darling Yao Yao." Wen Tingye's last words were particularly deep and magnetic, making Ning Yao's scalp tingle.
Before Ning Yao could speak, the other party had already hung up the phone, leaving only the busy tone.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were focused on choosing a support player and didn't pay attention to what Ning Yao was saying on the phone.
When Ning Yao returned, they all looked up at their team captain.
"What do you think of Xiao Liu? A-Jue and I have played a few rounds with her, and her skills are pretty good. I think we should consider it," Cui Mengmeng said.
“Yes, I think so too.” Xin Yujue nodded, agreeing with Cui Mengmeng’s suggestion.
Guan Ying had no objection to the selection process from beginning to end; she didn't care who was chosen, as long as her idol, Boss Ning, was in the team.
"No need to choose anymore, the person has already been decided." Ning Yao sighed softly and announced to her three friends.
"Huh? Who's it already?" Cui Mengmeng looked completely bewildered. They'd only made one phone call and they'd already confirmed it?
“You all know him.” Ning Yao said with a forced smile, then quietly added, “He is Wen Tingye.”
"What? President Wen? He's going to be our support?" Cui Mengmeng swallowed nervously. Wen Tingye being their support? Wasn't that shortening their lifespan?
Just thinking about Wen Tingye's cold and aloof demeanor made Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue feel like they were the ones in the supporting role.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll assess Wen Tingye's skills, and if he doesn't pass the assessment, we'll find someone else." Ning Yao said, then put down her phone, got up and went to the kitchen, cut some fresh fruit to make a fruit platter, and brought it out to eat.
After playing the game for more than an hour, Ning Yao decided to study and temporarily stop playing games.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue, however, looked reluctant to part; they hadn't seen enough of it yet.
"How about this, I'll lend you my account so you can help Guan Ying rank up." Ning Yao waved her hand and gave away her account.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue's eyes lit up instantly, and they grabbed their phones and walked to the side.
The mobile game Honor of Kings has only been in open beta for a short time, and Ning Yao's account with all heroes and skins is extremely rare and unique across the entire server.
The two excitedly sat back on the sofa, set rules for each other, and took turns playing a game with Guan Ying.
Guan Ying, however, did not seem so happy, and looked at her boss Ning's two roommates with a suspicious expression.
"Are you sure you can do it?" Guan Ying asked coldly, her gaze fixed on Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue with hostility.
"Don't worry, I can easily beat a Silver-ranked game," Cui Mengmeng patted her chest and assured her.
Guan Ying still didn't trust Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue, but Boss Ning had already lent out her account, saying that they should play with her. Guan Ying couldn't let Boss Ning's kindness go to waste.
So the three of them sat on the sofa, ate the fruit plate that Ning Yao had cut, and started playing the game.
It wasn't until after they had eaten dinner prepared by Mr. Bocuse that Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue reluctantly left the teachers' apartment.
Ning Yao, on the other hand, was restless, waiting for Wen Tingye to arrive.
She knew that once Wen Tingye arrived, everything that was supposed to happen, and everything that wasn't supposed to happen, would happen.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, Ning Yao seemed to suddenly remember something and jogged into the bedroom.
Guan Ying watched Ning Yao rush in and then slowly walk out, looking at her with a hesitant expression. Guan Ying finally couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Ning, is there something you want to say?"
