Fast forwarding to Thursday, 2:30, half an hour before getting the walls of the fourth floor painted, Ye Muchen and Mei na were now finishing up clearing the boxes and sweeped the floor.
"Three hours, that means you need to give me ¥1,200. Pay up." Said Mei na with her right hand out.
"Don't show me that attitude..... miss." Said Muchen, reaching out for some money in his pocket. He held his money from one end and Mei na tired taking it but Ye Muchen wouldn't let go. Mei na pulled harder and harder, but her employee did not let the money go.
"Let it go." Said Mei na. Ye Muchen finally gave the money to Mei na, sadly.
Fast forwarding to 3:00 pm, the workers who came to paint the walls, set up the newspapers and the huge containers of colourful paint.
The team leader sternly walked towards Ye Muchen. The team leader was an English man, with dark brown hair, light brown eyes, short and seemed to be in his 40's.
"Which colour shall we paint the walls?" Asked the team leader with a strong British accent.
"I would like all the walls white except the wall behind me. That should be in Emerald Green with a gold pattern which I sent you."
The team leader went out of the room and and gave his workers the instructions. Ye Muchen let the workers do their work while he went down to do his.
Walking down the stairs he looked around, nobody was there. What happened?
"Boss, where are you?" Shouted Muchen while wondering where everyone was. None of the workers were seen.
BANG!
"Hey, what the hell is happening outside? Everyone's saying The LOA Master Ye Mucheng works here!" Said Mei na, stressing like crazy.
Mei na told Ye Muchen to come follow her to the entrance and see what was going on, he followed.
He slightly slided the curtains open and peeked through. The paparazzi were outside with cameras and started shouting like crazy when they saw Ye Muchen's eyes.
"Holy avacados, that's a lot of people out there. Maybe you should go out and tell them he does not work here." Advised the smarty pants Ye Muchen.
"I told them, they won't listen."
"I'll try; maybe they will listen to me."
Mei na nodded her head worriedly. Ye Muchen unlocked the door, opened it and stepped outside.
The paparazzi started screaming but they the internet cafè and I have an announcement to make." Said Ye Muchen. The reporters put forward their mics and the photographers started clicking more and more pictures every second.
"Ye Mucheng does not work here, nor any celebrities. You can even ask our daily customers, respectfully without invading their privacy of course."
He continued, "By surrounding the cafè with your cameras, mics, lights and so on, you are ruining the fun of the customers who wanted to come here only to see us closed and surrounded by high level equipment."
"Kindly, pack up your things as there is nobody famous working here and let others have joy. If you want, you can play here too, you will always be welcome. Thank you and please excuse me."
He bowed to the people as a sign of respect and went inside the internet cafè.
"You handled that so smoothly! I am impressed, you were kind and polite and allowed them to come to our cafè even after this ruckus." Said Mei na proudly. She pat him hard on his back and walked away with a bright smile on her face.
As the reporters were packing up, Ye Muchen put his hands in his pocket and sighed. He leaned against the wall and daydreamed like no tomorrow.
Muchen stood for a few minutes and finally came back to life. He went to his room, fetched his laptop and started searching for some good equipments for gaming.
After about three minutes or so, his phone rang for a notification had come.
Bossy Mingze: Hey, I heard about those reporters outside the internet cafè. You handled it in a good way.
Ye Muchen had his suspicions. Why would a busy man like Yang Mingze, the CEO of a team like SNFX, message him now?
Muchen picked up his phone and viewed the message. He stared at it for a bit and took a deep breath.
Muchen: Hi. Is there anything you need?
Ye Muchen decided to be more straightforward than the word straightforward.
Bossy Mingze: Yes actually I do have something to give you.
Muchen predicted it, Mingze wasn't that special.
Bossy Mingze: You will see what it is at 7 pm today. You still live in the basement of that internet cafè, right?
Muchen: Yeah I do. Let's talk later, I have some work to do.
Ye Muchen threw his phone into the pile of clothes on his bed and opened Chatgpt. He searched up, "What are the basic necessities needed to build a gaming team?"
"So I need computers, meeting rooms, a strong leader, blah blah blah. Nothing useful." Muchen said to himself.
He slammed his laptop shut and went to sleep even thought he was not tired.
