Dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun~
Upon hearing this prelude and seeing Huang Rushi dancing gracefully in the MV, Yang Ruoqian immediately couldn't hold back his laughter.
This outrageous guy actually chose to sing this song!
Damn it, I miscalculated!
Why is our class reunion full of pranksters? Can't we have something normal?!
Yang Ruoqian decided to avoid bubble tea shops for the rest of the month. Out of sight, out of mind. Why does attending a reunion still traumatize him?
In the center of the private room, Shao I-qi confidently starts to dance with a bright voice. Unlike Huang Rushi, Shao I-qi's tone had a softness, not typical for a macho man.
It gave Yang Ruoqian a different kind of mental pollution.
"You love me~ I love you..."
"I love you, you love me..."
Watching Shao I-qi both sing and dance, the entire room of over twenty people simultaneously fell silent. This song was merely a few seconds, shorter than any typical song. Yet, those few seconds felt like the longest they had ever experienced.
Finally, at the end of the song, Gu Jiwen couldn't help but blurt out, "Damn you, Shao I-qi! I knew there was a reason you suddenly treated us all to dinner, and this was your grand finale!"
"You invited us just to sing this song, didn't you?"
"You really went all out just for this joke..."
"You really nailed the part about causing harm without benefiting yourself."
"Who's that dancer? This is the second time you've used him to pollute our vision. Three strikes and you're out, bastard!"
Shao I-qi put down the microphone and snorted, "I take at least half the credit for that streamer's popularity. What do you guys know?"
Yang Ruoqian rolled his eyes.
Half the credit?
You should take full responsibility!
After his passionate performance, Shao I-qi cheerfully returned to his seat, slinging an arm around Yang Ruoqian, "Come on, let's hear what business our Mr. Yang is running."
If someone else seemed embarrassed, Shao I-qi wouldn't ask so publicly. But Yang Ruoqian was clearly successful and had made some money, so it didn't matter.
Yang Ruoqian shrugged off Shao I-qi's arm and said flatly, "I started an entertainment media company and manage a few streamers."
"Wow!" Shao I-qi, who often watched live streams, perked up, "That industry is profitable. Which streamers are under your guild? I'll support them and send some gifts when I have time."
The other classmates nodded in agreement.
Yang Ruoqian, gritting his teeth, pointed to the screen which still displayed the dancing figure, "That one behind you."
Just thinking about how Shao I-qi caused him a loss of 50 million made Yang Ruoqian seethe with anger.
"Behind me?"
Shao I-qi turned around in disbelief, looking at Huang Rushi's agile figure.
"Him? The macho dancer?!"
Not just Shao I-qi, all the other classmates were stunned as well.
"Yes..."
After a brief moment of silence, laughter filled the room.
"Hahaha!" Shao I-qi burst into laughter, "So he's an employee of your company, hahaha!"
"No wonder you looked off from the beginning!"
It's over...
The company's image is completely ruined.
Now, whenever someone mentions Xplendi Guild, they'll probably first think of the jiggling flab.
Seeing Shao I-qi's gloating expression, Yang Ruoqian placed a hand on his shoulder, his voice icy, "Do you believe I'll send you a legal notice?"
"Look on the bright side, at least your streamer became famous and even got advertisements. You must have made a lot of money."
The other classmates nodded in agreement.
Although the company's reputation took a hit, Yang Ruoqian surely made a lot of money from the "macho dancer". Otherwise, how could he afford a luxury car and have a beauty by his side?
I did make a good amount of money, but it didn't end up in my pocket!
The company earned hundreds of thousands, but as the boss, I only got five thousand!
After laughing, Shao I-qi poured himself a drink and asked, "Is your company hiring?"
Yang Ruoqian looked at him disdainfully, "We need a legal consultant, but you definitely don't meet the requirements."
"Who says? I have a relative who runs a law firm. Trustworthy for sure," Shao I-qi said with a smirk, "I can set it up for you. In return, you hire me?"
Yang Ruoqian was puzzled, "Why would you want to work when you have rental properties?"
Are you seeking discomfort for yourself?
"I think your company, which could produce a streamer like the 'macho dancer', must be a lot of fun! Don't worry, I'll follow your orders 100%!"
Most interviewers or bosses would immediately reject such a proposal. Running a company isn't child's play. Joining just for fun? Better stay where you're comfortable.
But Yang Ruoqian didn't reject him immediately. He realized that if he recruited Shao I-qi, a wildcard, and kept him close, he probably wouldn't cause any more problems. Otherwise, he'd be a disaster waiting to happen.
Seeing the two discussing serious matters, the other classmates didn't disturb them and resumed singing and drinking.
"What job do you want? What position do you think suits you?"
"Public Relations!" Shao I-qi blurted out, "I think I have a natural talent for it!"
Yes, you indeed have a talent for PR. It'd be better if you had a little less of it.
Hiring Shao I-qi would allow Yang Ruoqian to veto any potentially problematic PR ideas, ensuring no more fiascos like the rise of Huang Rushi.
"Okay, come for the onboarding process on Monday. Shengjing Haoyuan, 24th floor."
...
Two hours passed, and the comedic class reunion was finally concluding.
"Chang Zhiqing, are you sober?" Yang Ruoqian packed up and approached Chang Zhiqing, waving his hand in front of her eyes, "Can you walk?"
Chang Zhiqing sat quietly like a kitten, staring intently at Yang Ruoqian, "I'm not drunk."
Saying this, she wobbly stood up and took a few steps.
"Ouch..."
Her high heel twisted, and Chang Zhiqing fell straight into Yang Ruoqian's arms, letting out a painful hiss.
"Are you okay?" Yang Ruoqian exclaimed, holding Chang Zhiqing steadily, sounding a bit reproachful, "I told you not to wear such thin, high heels!"
"Don't scold me, it hurts..."
Watching the two embracing, with dreamy gazes, Shao I-qi clicked his tongue and turned to the other classmates, "Let's go, let's not spoil the view."
