Chapter 262: 260, Historical Legacy Issues (Seventh Update)_1

Jiang Haoyang played Kunlun, but he didn’t have the money to splurge on it, so when he heard that Qinghe Club had set up an internal scholarship, his first reaction was, "When I get that scholarship, I’m definitely going to beat down those rich players!"

The scholarship from Qinghe Club was no small sum...

In the past, Jiang Haoyang had thought that if he knew someone from Qinghe Games, he would ask them to help him get a top-tier account to dominate everywhere.

However, now that he suddenly realized Ren He might actually be the boss of Qinghe Games, he hesitated. It wasn’t for any other reason; Jiang Haoyang simply felt he shouldn’t rush over immediately but should wait to ask Ren He for an account in private. After all, Liu Bing and Li Yifan were also playing Kunlun, and if these two knew about it, they would definitely go and ask Ren He for accounts too.

So he couldn’t let them know right now; he had to wait until he secured an account first and then beat those two losers into submission...

Jiang Haoyang’s inner calculations were clacking away, and his imagination was running wild, even visualizing Liu Bing and Li Yifan weeping bitterly...

He turned around gleefully and returned to Qinghe Club’s booth. Liu Bing asked him what the hell happened, and Jiang Haoyang, with a giddy expression, said he didn’t know; nothing happened. His smug look made Liu Bing want to punch him.

Ren He stood up from Qinghe Games’ booth to say goodbye to Zhou Zheng. He planned to inform the members of Qinghe Club that he was leaving since his only purpose for attending the gaming exhibition was to complete a mission, and now that it was accomplished, naturally, it was time to leave.

But just then, Zhou Zheng’s phone started to ring off the hook. Zhou picked it up, and within less than five seconds, he furrowed his brows, "Okay, got it."

And then he hung up. Ren He asked curiously, "What happened?"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, "The little boss has been exposed."

Exposed? Ren He had been very cautious about this matter. Now, searching the business registry would only display the legal representative of the company, not the names of Ren He and Xu Nuo. There’s a significant difference between the legal representative and the actual owners of a company.

He wanted to avoid being seen by Mrs. Ren as neglecting his duties, and so did Xu Nuo. Xu’s hot-tempered dad had no idea what his son was busy with every day—ever since Xu had achieved high scores and was admitted into the No. 13 middle school with waived tuition fees, his dad had been too overjoyed to think clearly...

Everyone inside Qinghe Company knew that Xu Nuo and Ren He were reluctant to accept interviews. They were always very discreet about their private lives, so when the media consulted with the publicity department about interviewing the bosses of Qinghe Games, the department didn’t even need to ask Xu Nuo and Ren He to know the answer was no.

However, Xu Nuo had now been exposed. Zhou Zheng had only received a simple message: a reporter, disguised as janitorial staff from the office building, had taken photos of a meeting at Qinghe’s office discussing the "Assassin’s Creed" Ren He had mentioned, with Xu Nuo sitting in the lead chair...

When Ren He wasn’t there, he was the boss—no doubt about it. But the Chinese are very particular about such things; your status decides where you sit. So, the reporter’s eyes lit up; this was unmistakably the boss of Qinghe Games.

But wasn’t he too young... And he looked somewhat familiar?!

To the outside world, this news was sudden and unexpectedly accurate; it seemed like a coincidence that the reporter knew Xu Nuo’s identity and thus exposed the information.

Ren He was also somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, even if Xu Nuo had been spotted, the specific details about him should not have been known. It wasn’t like in his past life with Weibo where netizens could collectively investigate and reveal someone’s identity online—it was still the era of online forums!

So what if Xu Nuo was photographed? That wouldn’t reveal his name or identity.

So he went online to check out the news. He shouldn’t have cared, but after seeing it, Ren He was utterly befuddled—it turned out to be an issue left from the past!

When the reporter saw Xu Nuo, he knew he had hit the jackpot—this was the kid he recognized!

There had once been a false news report: "A student in class 2, year 3 at Luo City No. 13 middle school named Xu Nuo is the Knight!"

The reporter had also followed up on that story. However, upon arrival, he discovered it was fake news; that Little Fatty couldn’t possibly be the Knight, for heaven’s sake...

But now... wasn’t this the same Little Fatty?! Hahaha!

Ren He was truly torn between laughter and tears. With one glance, he knew how the reporter had discovered Xu Nuo’s identity. It was like karma; sometimes, a coincidence just happens to land on oneself.

No, it had landed on Xu Nuo...

Ren He’s phone also rang, and seeing it was Xu Nuo, he answered, "Hello?"

Then he heard Xu Nuo, with a whimper in his voice, ask, "Big bro, my dad found out. What should I do? He’s telling me to come home right now."

"Sheesh," Ren He said, inhaling sharply, "I don’t know what to do either. If your dad wants to beat you, no one can stop him. How about... you just take the beating first, and I’ll slowly think of a solution?"

"I’m afraid I won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun..." Xu Nuo despairingly said upon hearing Ren He’s response.

After some thought, Ren He said, "First, go find your mom, and make sure she accompanies you home. That way, at least your safety has some guarantee, doesn’t it?"

"Right!" Xu Nuo’s voice rose several notches, "I’m going to find my mom right now!"

At this point, only Xu Nuo’s mom could save him...

Xu Nuo returned with a determination akin to facing death. He didn’t want his colleagues at Qinghe Games to know that he was going back to be beaten, so he acted pretty normal at the office. However, his silhouette looked somehow heroic no matter how you looked at it...

However, upon returning home, a dramatic turnaround occurred, unexpectedly. His dad wasn’t angry at all; instead, he praised his son for knowing how to make money!

Xu Nuo’s dad was a businessman himself and quickly realized the potential of Qinghe Games once he looked into it. He had dropped out of high school to do business and always regretted not studying properly, which was why he pressured Xu Nuo to study.

But his perspective suddenly changed after seeing the news: This little rascal wasn’t interested in studying, but he sure had a head for business, just like me!

Xu Nuo’s dad attributed it all to genetic inheritance. Well, if studying isn’t his strong suit, so be it. Maybe the Xu family just doesn’t have the genes for academics, but business can be good too.

When Ren He found out about this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. If only Mrs. Ren and Ren would relax their control over him as well!

This guy, Xu Nuo, had found fortune in his misfortune...

But it was a good thing after all, as Xu Nuo could now devote more time to managing Qinghe Games. As for Ren He, he could be the hands-off boss, and with Xu Nuo’s exposure, he would become the perfect shield.

Jiang Haoyang was the only one still clueless until the very end. Just as he returned to Qinghe Club’s booth, he heard Liu Bing and Li Yifan discussing, "So he’s the boss of Qinghe Games!"

Jiang Haoyang looked bewildered, "You guys know?"

"Sure, we know. This guy Xu Nuo is the boss of Qinghe Games. It was just on the news!" Liu Bing said calmly, "He’s from our year, and there are so many talents in Luo City. Our boss is from Luo City too; I wonder if he knows this Xu Nuo."

At that moment, Ren He came back, "I know him alright, he was my deskmate for three years in junior high."

Liu Bing and Li Yifan looked on enviously, "OMG, you were his deskmate? Could you get us a couple of Kunlun accounts?!"

"Sure," Ren He said, chuckling.

Inside, Jiang Haoyang was falling apart. What was with the world, and why were there so many misunderstandings?

Adding more Chapters for the Silver Alliance sea spirit garments. Well, I should clarify, my minimum is two Chapters, four is extra. Some may think my minimum is four Chapters since I update with four Chapters daily, but I’m not that amazing...

I’m not fast at typing. Seven Chapters take up a whole day, with no manuscripts prepared, because I update too much every day. My daily updates are equal to many authors’ bursts, right?

Some friends say, I’ll give you my vote if you burst out Chapters. What can I do, feeling pretty desperate here. Does updating a lot every day somehow make it easier to be forgotten? That doesn’t make sense...
