Chapter 361: Backstage Operation
Gu Ziyi returned to the area where the Beichuan Dojo students were. Seeing Ye Fan and Ning Xi chatting in low voices, she walked over, her face showing apology: "Really sorry, I will inform my grandfather about this matter."
"It's fine."
Ye Fan waved his hand dismissively, said: "Wherever people exist, there is darkness. This is a law since ancient times, unavoidable."
Just now in the registration office, the reason he prevented Gu Ziyi from revealing Ning Xi's relationship with Gu Yun was precisely to let the other party say some astonishing words.
As expected, the goal was achieved.
Those words Yu Zhong said just now were already astonishing enough.
Arguing?
That's the lowest level method. The best method is to use the opponent's strength against them!
Gu Ziyi didn't make another sound, sat down beside Ning Xi, her eyes staring at the large screen.
According to the rules of the ranking tournament, the top thirty players need to have their information reviewed again. After confirming everything is correct, the spots will be finalized.
At this moment, the number of people in the hall had decreased sharply. Apart from the Beichuan Dojo side, there were only a sparse dozen or so people in the entire hall. Compared to the clamor of the past two days, it seemed incredibly deserted.
The process of reviewing the information was very fast. The moment the broadcast sounded, everyone in the hall became alert.
"The information review for the thirty ranked players of this ranking tournament is complete. The information for the top twenty-nine players is correct. The thirtieth player, number 367, due to joining the dojo for less than one year, after comprehensive evaluation, her ranking spot is cancelled. Player Wang Heyang, ranked thirty-first, will automatically fill the spot."
This message was repeated a full three times!
Ning Xi's eyes were sluggish, disbelief hanging on her pretty face.
Her ranking spot was cancelled?
And coincidentally, Wang Heyang from just now became the final winner.
To say this wasn't under-the-table manipulation , she absolutely wouldn't believe it!
The girl was extremely angry, her swelling chest heaved up and down, her red lips slightly pouted, "What, how can they do this? Too excessive!"
A trace of ice-coldness flashed deep in Ye Fan's eyes, his aura underwent a heaven-and-earth-shattering change.
Soft approach didn't work, directly resort to hard tactics?
Really treating his girl like a soft persimmon to be squeezed?
Hehe——
Gu Ziyi's brows furrowed high, forcefully slapped the seat, cursed loudly: "Too shameless, never thought they would actually dare to do this, good, very good!"
She turned her head to comfort Ning Xi, "Xiao Xi don't worry, leave this matter to me."
Saying this, she started taking out her phone, clearly intending to call Gu Yun.
Ning Xi suddenly spoke, "Sister Ziyi, can I handle this matter myself?"
"Hmm?"
Gu Ziyi froze, puzzled, said: "Xiao Xi, how do you plan to handle it?"
Ning Xi raised her head and pointed at the advertising board in the hall, said: "Sister, the ranking tournament is sponsored by my dad. Isn't that Wang Heyang just relying on having backing? Acting like no one else does. I'm going to call for reinforcements !"
These words were spoken with exceptional firmness, enough to prove how angry the girl was in her heart!
After hearing these words, Gu Ziyi froze on the spot, only reacting after a good while to what was going on.
That's right!
Ning Xi's dad is the richest man…
Coincidentally, this year's ranking tournament is exclusively sponsored by Baiyi Group.
This time, they really poked the hornet's nest !
Ye Fan, who hadn't spoken all along, nodded in agreement after hearing Ning Xi's words, "This isn't a bad method. Treat others as they have treated you . Competing on backing, Xiao Xi has never feared anyone!"
After hesitating repeatedly, Gu Ziyi still put away her phone.
Seeing this, Ning Xi beamed with a smile, the momentary scenery refreshing one's heart and spirit. Her small hand extended towards Ye Fan, blinking playfully, "Gege, give me my phone."
Ye Fan's thin lips curled up, took Ning Xi's phone out of his pocket and handed it to her, not forgetting to suggest: "After the call connects, I think you can act slightly more pitiful."
"Yi?" (sound of surprise/doubt)
Ning Xi let out a surprised sound, "How did you know my plan?"
Ye Fan smiled without speaking.
Instead, Gu Ziyi, listening to this conversation, felt somewhat between laughter and tears in her heart.
Fine.
Looking like this, this matter is definitely going to blow up.
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Ning Xi who was currently on the phone, once again took out her phone and stood up, walking towards the distance…
In the office.
Ning Xiangtian looked at the acquisition plan progress chart, his brows twisted into a knot. Up until now, those foreign lithography machine professional talents simply couldn't be recruited. No matter how high the salary offered, they wouldn't come.
This situation made Ning Xiangtian feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
Just then, the phone ringing interrupted his thoughts. He picked up the phone placed aside, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Daughter's call?
Really rare!
"Xiao Xi, why did you think of calling dad?"
"Dad, are you busy right now? I got bullied!"
On the phone, the girl's soft, aggrieved voice made Ning Xiangtian's face turn cold, said sternly: "Xiao Xi, where are you now? I'll come over immediately. Who bullied you? Tell dad, dad will help you get revenge!"
"Can't explain clearly over the phone, I'm at Baiyu Go Arena, wait until you arrive then talk."
"Du… dudu…"
Listening to the disconnected tone from the phone, Ning Xiangtian's face was incomparably gloomy. He picked up the landline and dialed a number, "Old Zhuang, come to the company to pick me up, quickly!"
After speaking, put down the phone with a 'patta' sound, stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, brilliance overflowing in his eyes.
"Actually dare to bully my daughter? No matter who you are, I won't spare you!"
......
"Gege, how was my performance?"
As soon as the call ended, the grievance on Ning Xi's face instantly disappeared, smiling like a flower, blinked her spirit eyes.
Ye Fan seriously evaluated: "Xiao Xi, just your performance now, you could totally be awarded a Best Actress award."
"Puchi——"
Ning Xi giggled, huffed quite unhappily: "Clearly I didn't provoke anyone, they insist on bullying me. No choice, I can only call for reinforcements!"
Ye Fan's thin lips pursed, smiled and said: "Then I'll honestly be an audience member for once. The good show later should be very exciting."
Based on his understanding of his future father-in-law, if anyone dared to bully Ning Xi, then even if that person didn't die, they'd still lose a layer of skin.
The attention of the Beichuan Dojo students was all on Ning Xi. Some felt pity for her, some were puzzled.
Information review didn't pass?
Let alone seen it, haven't even heard of it!
All along, in everyone's eyes, the information review was just going through the motions. Never thought someone would get stuck at this step and miss the ranking spot.
This kind of situation was truly seen for the first time!
In the registration office.
Wang Qingyun looked at his grandson whose face was full of triumph, said resentfully like hating iron for not becoming steel: "Heyang, you have to put in more effort, don't waste all your energy on eating, drinking, and playing. Use that time to practice Go more, understand?"
"Grandpa, just rest assured!"
Wang Heyang patted his chest, chuckled, "In the future I will definitely practice Go well. Starting today, I am a professional player!"
At this moment, Ning Xi's beautiful face couldn't help but surface in his mind, revealing a triumphant smile.
Sorry, I want this spot!
