Chapter 682: You Don’t Believe I Will Fire You?
“Who’s the mole Xiao Qin planted?” Ren Peng was very dissatisfied with Ai Mi’s accusation, “You live in my father’s school, if I wanted to spy on you, why would I even need to personally do it…”
Xiao Qin did not join the discussion because of her androphobia, but she stood behind me nodding her head, indicating that what her cousin said was correct.
“What, your father’s school?” Ai Mi was even more surprised, “Did your father start Qing Zi Academy?”
“Yes.” Ren Peng said with a puzzled face, “My father is the principal of Qing Zi Academy, but he’s also the chairman of the entire corporation, didn’t Winnie tell you before.”
“Did you tell me?” Ai Mi turned her shocked face to Winnie, who suddenly squatted down to play with the dog.
Winnie let Obama lick her fingers as she raised her head, “Yes, I’ve said once before. Miss Ai Mi, you only nodded at the time without making any comments, so I thought you were so rich you didn’t even care about the chairman of Qing Zi Academy.”
Peng TouSi interjected at this point: “Yes, Ren Peng’s father is indeed the chairman of the Qing Zi Education Group. Miss, your helicopter, was bought from hm.”
“How come I don’t remember you guys saying that?” Ai Mi was completely unwilling to admit that she often did not listen carefully to others.
“Miss, I really did tell you.” Peng TouSi stated.
“Um… me too.” Winnie was oddly embarrassed to be caught between his best friend and a LOL god.
“Woof.” Obama stated that the entire family of whoever eats dog hotpot made with him will all die.
“Obama, shut up.” Ai Mi had nowhere to vent, so she could only yell at Obama, who grumbled in return.
“Even, even if I wasn’t paying attention before…” Ai Mi gritted her teeth, “Since I know now that you’re the mole, there’s no way I can keep you on the team anymore. Winnie, although you’re not the captain of ‘Golden Lightning’ right now, but you’re still the manager, right?”
“Eh, I think so.” Winnie scratched the band-aid on her face.
“Settle Ren Peng’s salary effective immediately, then expel him from the team.”
“Ummm…” Winnie said awkwardly, “Since Ren Peng joined the team, other than asking for the captain’s position, he has never received a salary, actually he refused it on his own accord…”
“What?” Ai Mi almost vomited out blood, “That’s so suspicious, he’s definitely a traitor. How come you didn’t report it to me?”
“I did.” Winnie felt wronged, “I told you early on. I told you the same time that I told you he was the principal’s son.”
“Then, why, do, I, not, know.”
Ai Mi shouted and stomped the ground as if she wanted to flatten the world. The heels of her small leather shoes resounded on the ground with a thud and she almost lost her balance.
For Ren Peng, who “only loves online games”, he absolutely can’t accept being dismissed from the LOL team for no reason.
“Hey.” Ren Peng stared rudely at Ai Mi, unlike some of my male classmates, who were shocked by Ai Mi’s beauty and felt too inferior to speak to her.
As for the reason, perhaps it’s because Ren Peng is not a lolicon, or maybe it’s because LOL is his true love.
“It’s true you are a shareholder of the team, but since I became the captain, I have put in a lot of effort and done the utmost to perform my duties. I’ve also led a feeder like you to win several games, so what right do you have to fire me.”
“You, you’re calling me a feeder?” Ai Mi opened her mouth wide in disbelief, “I didn’t even die once when I played with the raccoon, the entire screen was filled with my mushrooms… how am I a feeder?”
The raccoon Ai Mi referred to was ‘The Swift Scout, Teemo’.
It would have been fine if Ai Mi didn’t mention that game, but when she mentioned it, Ren Peng said with grief and anger:
“It’s true you didn’t die, but do you know how many times our teammates died to protect you?”
“We deliberately arranged Janna to act as your shield and protect you, but it was barely enough because you kept running all over the place asking for death.”
“You wanted to attack a tower at level 3 and solo Baron Nashor at level 6, don’t you know your teammates were crying?”
Winnie sacrificed a item slot and deliberately bought a defensive item to ensure that you don’t die… she had to use Zephyr to help you block Caitlyn’s ultimate at least twice.”
“Also, if you’re planting mushrooms, then you should buy items to boost damage! What’s the point of buying six pairs of Boots of Swiftness, it doesn’t even stack! It would have been better if you bought anything else.”
“You don’t know how to use the Q key to save yourself, but you did know how to use W to run around.”
“If you honestly stayed at base, we would have already won, so who do you think is the feeder?”
Ren Peng usually doesn’t get heated, but as soon as the game is mentioned, his dull eyes lit up. He had also tolerated Ai Mi for a long time, before finally letting loose.
“You… you…”
Ai Mi was so angry she was at a loss of words.
“Stop fighting, stop fighting.” Winnie rushed between the two of them and persuaded both sides to calm down.
“I don’t care.” Ai Mi, who was almost going to burst out in tears, said unreasonably, “I’m a shareholder, I can fire whoever I want. Ren Peng, you don’t have to come in to work starting from tomorrow.”
“You’re determined to fire me.” Ren Peng had a grave face.
“My determination is harder than diamonds.” Ai Mi showed a rather determined expression, “How dare you disrespect me… even if you kneel down and beg me, I won’t forgive you.”
Winnie said awkwardly: “But the other team members were all found by Ren Peng, it would be hard to lead the team without him. In addition, without Ren Peng, I don’t have the confidence to carry Miss Ai Mi to diamond…”
“Why, do you also think I’m a feeder?” Ai Mi glared fiercely at Winnie, “Caitlyn’s ultimate didn’t kill me, but instead killed you, so doesn’t it mean I have good positioning?”
“Yes, it’s all because of your good positioning, Ai Mi.” Winnie nodded her head and went against her conscience, “It’s because I’m too stupid and I get easily killed by Caitlyn, so we need an expert like Ren Peng to increase the strength of the whole team.”
“You really want to fire me?” Ren Peng asked again.
Ai Mi proudly stuck up her face, “Why, you can’t accept it? If you can’t accept it, then come and hit me! I don’t even need Peng TouSi to move, the manservant by your side can knock you down.”
That’s true, although I recognized Ren Peng as my cousin, even if Ai Mi is being unreasonable, if Ren Peng really tries to hit a 12-year-old girl, I wouldn’t just stay still and watch.
But according to Winnie’s observation, Ren Peng may be very violent in-game, but in reality he’s basically a pacifist. I don’t know if it has anything to do with always getting beat up by his cousin as a child.
Ren Peng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: “You can fire me, but can’t I fire you too?”
Ai Mi let out a mocking laugh.
“Fire me? How can you fire me, I didn’t join your team…”
“Don’t forget, you’re attending my father’s school.” The muscles below Ren Peng’s eyes twitched as he said viciously.
Ai Mi’s azure pupils contracted and dilated abruptly.
“You, you’re going to abuse your father’s power…”
“How is it an abuse of power?” Ren Peng clasped his hands together in front of his chest and proudly said, “I heard from my father you failed 6 out of 7 of your final exams. When you went to do your make-up exams, you handed in blank papers and insulted the invigilators. If it was anyone else, they would be up for expulsion.”
Huh, so Ai Mi only passed English? I can understand failing math or something, after all, Chinese middle school math is around an American high school level… but why would Ai Mi, who has level ten Chinese, also fail language class?
Ren Peng continued to say to Ai Mi: “It’s because of your special status, so we gave you a lenient treatment. According to the normal rules, you should have been expelled.”
“Then expel me.” Ai Mi said, “I don’t care about that crappy school your family runs, I’ll transfer to a place with better conditions.”
“Miss.” Peng TouSi reminded Ai Mi from behind, “If you are expelled from school because you failed your exams, once Madam Ai ShuQiao finds out…”
“So what if mom finds out?” Ai Mi’s stubborn temper acted up again, “Let mom arrange a better school.”
Winnie suddenly remembered something and whispered in Ai Mi’s ear: “No, don’t you remember the ‘Pisces’ group.”
The Pisces group was a pair of sisters who emerged after Ai Mi left America who also had lolicons as their target audience. They often compared themselves to Ai Mi on talk shows and last time they even mocked Ai Mi’s cooking skills.
“If the Pisces sisters found out that you were expelled from school in China because you failed the exams…”
After Ai Mi heard, her face immediately changed colors. Even if she would rather get scolded by her mother, she was not willing to be publicly ridiculed by the two sisters on TV.
The last time the Pisces sisters mocked her cooking, she caught a large number of fake beggars in Dong Shan City and along with Winnie, they almost took their lives with their mystery cuisine.
For the sake of her reputation, Ai Mi did not want to be expelled from Qing Zi Academy, no matter what.
I felt that the cause of the dispute was ridiculous, so I stepped forward and tried to make peace with both sides.
“Stop arguing, stop arguing, we’re not outsiders, so we should get along…”
Ai Mi and Ren Peng simultaneously turned with a puzzled gaze to me, which meant “How are we not outsiders.”
