Chapter 213 The Chief Secretary's Entrustment
Chapter 213 The Chief Secretary's Entrustment
The following day, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA.
The ultimate battle of the S3 World Championship has arrived as scheduled amidst great anticipation!
Although the big boss, Li Feng, was unable to attend in person due to "busy domestic affairs," Lao Chen, the director of the game division of Haofeng Group, flew to Los Angeles with a large business team and media matrix to oversee the event.
When Lao Chen stood under the spotlight, delivered his opening remarks in slightly broken English, and revealed the prize for this year's S3 World Championship, the more than 40,000 audience members and tens of millions of online netizens around the world were stunned by Haofeng's wealth and power!
The champion team of this year's S3 World Championship will take home a cash prize of one million US dollars!
"and!"
With a wave of his hand, Old Chen sent two security guards pushing a luxuriously designed custom-made leather case onto the stage.
"This Summoner's Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor, has been redesigned this year by the chief designer of Hermès, the French luxury brand!"
The main structure is made of pure gold! The cost of a single unit is a staggering five million RMB!
"Even the custom-made suitcase that carried this trophy was handcrafted by Hermès, and its retail price is over one million!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded!
"Holy crap! A million US dollars! You can win millions of RMB playing a game?!"
"This is insane! Haofeng is really treating esports like the Olympics! That solid gold trophy looks so heavy, and he even used a Hermes case to carry it?!"
"Boss Li truly lives up to his reputation; the sheer scale of his business is enough to make you smell the stench of money even through the screen!"
Meanwhile, on the side of the stage, the two founders of Riot Games watched Chen steal the spotlight on stage, their brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
In their view, esports should be more pure, and Haofeng's nouveau riche style of forcibly linking luxury goods with huge sums of US dollars is somewhat overshadowing the main point.
Especially when they heard Lao Chen's three-minute "thank you to the sponsors" segment, the two founders' expressions turned rather unpleasant.
"Thank you Mercedes-Benz, thank you Yili milk, thank you BBK mobile phones..."
Old Chen rattled off a long list of sponsors' names, including a certain domestic energy drink that sponsored this year's S-series tournament in the United States!
Although the two founders were unhappy that Haofeng had turned the sacred finals into a GG investment conference, they could only swallow their dissatisfaction under the absolute control of Haofeng's 100% controlling stake.
Who can blame them when Haofeng is the big spender, and he actually invested real money to elevate this game to the status of the world's number one online game?
"The competition has officially begun!"
As Lao Chen finally finished reading out the list of sponsors, both teams took their seats on stage, and the first game of the S3 World Championship began amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the entire audience!
……
at the same time.
On a sunny morning in Hong Kong, across the ocean.
Mid-Levels Sanatorium & Hospital is a prestigious private hospital in Hong Kong renowned for its exceptional privacy and top-notch medical facilities.
Outside the VIP obstetrics and gynecology ward on the top floor, several burly bodyguards in black were closely guarding the corridor.
Inside the ward, Li Feng sat on the sofa next to the hospital bed.
In front of him, Zhang Xinyu was half-lying on the hospital bed, holding a freshly printed ultrasound report in her hand, her eyes slightly red.
Yes, the woman who had been by Li Feng's side the longest finally got pregnant!
Moreover, unlike Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, who could only come to the hospital for prenatal checkups accompanied by nannies and assistants.
Today, Li Feng actually canceled all his work schedule to personally accompany Zhang Xinyu to her first prenatal checkup!
Looking at Li Feng sitting next to her, flipping through a magazine, Zhang Xinyu felt as if a sweet jar had been spilled in her heart, and she was deeply moved.
It's been five years!
She followed Li Feng from the age of 22 until she is almost 27 this year, and witnessed how Haofeng gradually transformed into the billion-dollar empire he is today in his hands.
At first, she was afraid of Li Feng.
Later, fear gradually turned into worship.
She also realized that the boss's initial shrewdness was an act, a ruthlessness used to mask his youthful insecurity.
But later, when capital expanded to a certain point, the boss's deep-seated cunning had become ingrained in his very being.
"In this harem, I am the only woman who truly understands him!" Zhang Xinyu thought to herself with secret pride.
The fact that her boss personally accompanied her to her prenatal checkup today is enough to prove that she holds a completely different place in his heart!
"What are you spacing out for?"
Li Feng put down the magazine in his hand, looked at Zhang Xinyu who was staring at him intently from the hospital bed, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"No...it's nothing."
Zhang Xinyu sniffed, reached out and hugged Li Feng's arm, her voice so sweet it could stretch into silk:
"I just feel... Boss, you're so good to me. I knew that in your heart, I'm different from them."
Li Feng did not respond to Zhang Xinyu's self-indulgent confession.
Different?
maybe.
After all, this woman had been with him for so long; even if she hadn't done anything particularly meritorious, she had certainly put in a lot of hard work.
As for any special feelings? In the world of financial giants, talking about feelings is too extravagant and too dangerous.
"Starting tomorrow, you should stay in Hong Kong and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy."
Li Feng withdrew his arm and calmly made arrangements, "I've arranged the medical team and security here. Just tell the housekeeper if you need anything."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinyu's feelings were somewhat complicated.
Staying in Hong Kong to prepare for childbirth?
That means she has at least a year to leave the power center of Haofeng headquarters!
That's a huge no-no!
The reason why Zhang Xinyu can act so arrogantly in front of those top actresses is because of her position as "CEO's chief secretary," which allows her to whisper in the boss's ear at any time!
If someone leaves for a year, someone definitely needs to fill that position!
What if the new secretary is a restless vixen who takes the opportunity to sleep with the boss and even ousts her, the "previous" secretary?!
However, as Li Feng's most trusted confidante who had been with him the longest, Zhang Xinyu would naturally not fight an unprepared battle.
"The boss is right, I will definitely take good care of myself."
Zhang Xinyu nodded obediently, and then, as if by magic, pulled out a pre-prepared kraft paper file folder from her limited edition Hermes bag.
"But boss, I'm on maternity leave now, so you'll need someone to take care of you."
Zhang Xinyu observed Li Feng's expression and cautiously offered her choice of "entrusting her son to someone else":
"Those junior assistants in the president's office are so clumsy, how can I feel at ease with them?"
"This is the substitute secretary I've found for you. What do you think? Does she suit your taste?"
