“What are you still doing? At a time like this and you’re not spinning it yet? Do you want me to keep teaching you how to handle this?”
Dongfang Wan made a single phone call.
The troll leader stared silently at the livestream, letting out a long sigh to cover his frustration.
“Minions, get to work.”
In this world, can you both ship a CP and make money at the same time?
Nope. Doesn’t exist. Money comes first, always.
“Emmm… these two aren’t really a couple, right? Everyone’s joking around, sure, but really… actually being together? Isn’t that… a bit much?”
“Yin Chen really… with a man? No way, no way, no way… nobody finds this odd?”
“Ugh, two grown men actually together? Disgusting. Fine if it’s hype, but actually? High society really is messy. Yin Chen with a man, and no one’s complaining? Are all these comments from paid trolls?”
“Unbelievable… why even watch this livestream? The Dongfang Group’s previous matches were way fairer—one person fighting alone, isn’t that better?”
The troll minion hadn’t been online long when Dongfang Wan saw the comment.
He wanted to like it, but noticed it had triggered public outrage instead!
“??? What troll is this? Have some shame! Has it been confirmed publicly? Do you have proof? No? Then how do you know what’s real?”
“Disgusting. Watching a melon and you get this kind of stupidity. Who cares about their private lives? Might as well care about a set of keys instead—how many keys, huh?”
“No way… really? Someone trying to bring them down? What’s this? Praising Dongfang Group? Please, the Yin Corporation buffet isn’t good enough? Isn’t Mr. Yin handsome? Isn’t he skilled? What does Dongfang have to do with him? Thinking the hired player incident was over? The internet remembers everything!”
Netizens were smart—they could see when someone was trying to manipulate the narrative.
Too obvious. Anyone with eyes could tell.
In the Yin Corporation legal office:
Lawyer Gao glanced at the online reactions, then slowly withdrew his hands, quietly taking credit.
After all, Mr. Yin had already confirmed double year-end bonuses this year. This small thing could be nipped in the bud—no need to bother him.
But… Dongfang Wan?
He never forgets. jpg
“Bang!”
【I’m a CEO using M24 headshot to eliminate Daddy’s money run.】
“…Not bad for a name.”
Yin Chen paused two seconds, then praised it.
Clearly, this person wanted the double bonus.
But, alas…
One round ended, Yin Chen and Zong Cheng completely unharmed, winning the match.
Yin Corporation employees went silent.
Netizens went silent too.
The employees started crying quietly under the stage.
Netizens slowly typed comments:
“I thought I’d watch office drones kill their conscience-ridden boss to get double bonuses and prizes, but who knew? Capitalists’ hearts are black—skills this good, it’s impossible for Yin employees to snatch much from Mr. Yin.”
“Too real, it’s unsettling.”
“:) There’s no such thing as free lunches!”
Seeing the comments, Yin employees rallied themselves.
At least they still had a chance! You never know.
And indeed, ‘you never know’ proved real.
Compared to randomly patched teams, Yin Chen and Zong Cheng were in perfect sync.
Both were strong players.
Once, facing a 2v4 firefight, they barely took down Yin Chen—employees screamed in excitement:
“Quick, toss grenades, support Mr. Yin! The bonus is ours!”
Hearts racing. Hands trembling. Rewards incoming!
“Bang!”
【I’m a CEO using frag grenade/lightning to eliminate Charging for Money.】
【I’m a CEO using frag grenade/lightning to eliminate Working Hard for New Year.】
Watching the grenades wipe out two people, the four remaining fell silent.
Those already down tried to crawl, screaming:
“Forget us! Don’t save us! Take down Mr. Yin first!”
Alright! Brothers, I’m going in!
The last survivor charged forward.
Two seconds later:
【I’m a CEO using DP-28 to eliminate Wealthy Partners.】
“Whoa~”
Yin Chen lightly brushed against Zong Cheng’s thigh.
“Well done.”
Reliable, as expected from his chosen ally.
Blushing.
Zong Cheng quietly helped Yin Chen up, ears burning the entire time.
But…
For the bonuses, Yin employees finally opened the door to a new world.
In the fourth match, Yin Chen and Zong Cheng in the car were spotted.
“A car is chasing us.”
Yin Chen alerted.
“Got it. Should we counterattack?”
Zong Cheng drove steadily, seeking his opinion.
After all, this was a reward—they couldn’t just run.
In a second, Yin Chen nodded.
“Hit them.”
Whether the reward would be taken depended on the employees’ skill.
Not a cruel capitalist—just a very skilled one.
They prepared to counterattack, but the pursuing car accelerated straight at them!
Yin Chen froze.
“What are they trying to do?”
“??? What kind of maneuver is this? Charging straight?”
“Uh… haven’t they experienced two CEOs’ frontline gunplay?”
“What are these four thinking?”
Everyone puzzled—then a loud bang!
【Suicide Squad Leader using frag/lightning detonated vehicle, eliminated Suicide Squad Leader.】
【Suicide Squad Leader using frag/lightning detonated vehicle, eliminated…】
Six notifications lit up at once.
Zong Cheng stunned.
Yin Chen silent.
Below stage, the head of planning laughed hysterically: “Hahaha! I did it! Took down Mr. Yin! I got him!”
Truly a genius planner.
Not surprising.
…
But did it really have to be mutual destruction?
Yin Chen looked at the frenzied employees, reflecting.
Could they really be that strong?
Strong enough that employees were willing to blow themselves up just for a chance at his head?
Netizens gradually snapped back.
“! I have no education, one ‘WTF’ covers it all! That works?”
“This suicide squad strategy is genius—tossing grenades to get Mr. Yin, rushing in? Aren’t they worried the grenades might detonate prematurely?”
“This plan could only be executed by a true tactical genius. A timing mismatch would’ve been a nightmare!”
“66666, this might be the first team to actually kill Mr. Yin! Rewards in sight! Congrats!”
With the planning head as a model, the twenty-odd people in the department staged multiple extreme 1v1 or 1v2 scenarios.
Some actively looted air-dropped weapons waiting for vehicles to snipe Yin Chen; others charged in the final circle for close 1v1s; some surrounded and rammed Yin Chen and Zong Cheng’s car.
In short—always bolder, never too bold.
Initially, Yin Chen fought seriously, but by the end, their audacious tactics had him laughing.
Especially their IDs—one more outrageous than the next!
Hold it in!
Too much!
Yin Chen buried his face in Zong Cheng’s shoulder, trying not to laugh out loud for the employees’ sake.
Who would have thought?
Who would have thought someone would make an ID called I’m [so-and-so]’s Dad?
Paired with kill notifications: 【I’m [so-and-so]’s Dad used frag… eliminated…】
Brilliant.
Shoulder against the lover’s cheek, neck burning with his breath.
Zong Cheng’s back straightened even more.
“…Ugh, I’m jealous. Somehow feels real… Mr. Yin leaning over so naturally, chest pressed…”
“??? I was about to say something, but ‘chest pressed’ just blasted my brain! Where did the shoulder go? Skipped straight to chest?”
“I forgot what I wanted to say, dang 🙂 Now all I can think about is ‘chest pressed,’ my eyes are starting to have minds of their own, what do I do?”
“? Friends from earlier, can I borrow your eyes? My useless eyes have no thoughts! Desperately need eyes with minds of their own!”
Yin Chen smiled for a while, then realized something.
His shoulder relaxed, breathing steadied…
Huh?
Blinking, he realized why his heart was racing like a motor.
Was it auditory hallucination?
Instinctively, he tilted his head down.
His ear pressed against Zong Cheng’s… chest.
Inside the V-neck.
Zong Cheng stiffened.
He noticed!
He was about to be discovered!
Netizens: …ugh?
Yin Corporation employees: …hic?
Watching Tang Chen: jaw-dropping.jpg
Zong Cheng, with a cold ear against flesh: out-of-body experience.
Thump thump thump.
Heartbeat speeding like double, even triple speed.
Yin Chen pinched his pulse.
Double, triple speed. Could this heartbeat be…?
Yin Chen slowly lifted off the pectoral.
Netizens sighed in unison.
Employees retracted their phones.
Tsk, one more second!
One more second and they would’ve gotten the shot!
Zong Cheng stiffened.
Did Yin Chen notice?
What would he think?
Yin Chen slowly turned to look.
Zong Cheng met his gaze, confused.
So tense!
Really tense!
What would Yin Chen say?
Zong Cheng clenched his fist.
Yin Chen’s tone concerned:
“You’re this nervous? Scared? Should we stop?”
Zong Cheng froze, then shook his head disappointedly.
“No, I’m with you.”
Head lowered, unaware Yin Chen’s ears were slightly red too.
Yin Chen saw Zong Cheng’s droopy expression, a flicker of amusement passing through his eyes, then vanished behind a serious look.
