I Am A Prodigy - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Huang Xiaomeng Blocks the Entrance

“Seconded!”

“Seconded!”

…

Everyone except Song Qian expressed approval as soon as CEO Wang finished speaking.

Song Qian looked at the others incredulously, his face full of bitterness. It felt as though the group of people arranged everything from the very start.

However, he still argued rationally, “CEO Wang, Y-God has brought great benefits to our platform. We can’t be too absolute in our decisions. We should still try to make reasonable arrangements.”

“Song Qian, we’re a live streaming platform, not a charity club! Y-God is banned, so everything has to start from scratch. Naturally, that means the previously signed contract will be null and void!” Zhou Min sneered. “I know that you’re the one who brought Y-God here and that’s why you’re reluctant, but Y-God doesn’t have any value at all anymore!”

“Correct. Wait till Y-God has another trending creation!” Wang Yuan nodded and looked at Si Yu. “The next key focus is Si Yu!”

“Thank you, CEO Wang!” Si Yu’s excitement perked up immediately.

“Si Yu, you’ll be our leading woman for Huyu in the future. You must perform well!” Zhou Min also smiled and remarked, “As I said before, the essence of a live stream is to be eye-catching! Some people insist on being unconventional. It’s like a brief fire, igniting then disappearing quickly. Worthless! ”

“That makes sense, Director Zhou.” Many people nodded in deep thought.

Y-God’s work was capable of setting the world ablaze, but continuity was no doubt one of the problems. The eye-catching aspect was inconsistent.

“CEO Wang, aren’t you afraid that others will be disillusioned if word about this gets out?” Song Qian could not help but ask.

Wang Yuan frowned slightly, “This ban directive is from the TV station[1]. We are responding to the organization’s orders! What’s there to be disillusioned about?!”

“CEO Wang, Y-God’s talent is not limited to that. If we do this, it’s equivalent to breaking off relations. We must think twice!” Song Qian persuaded.

Although the conversation with Ye Lingchen was short, he felt very confident.

The live stream was banned but Y-God’s reaction was insanely calm. That reaction, in addition to Y-God’s strong mentality, pointed out something far more important—his extreme self-confidence!

It was a kind of self-confidence that could be ignited wherever and whenever he wanted!

“Song Qian! Are you done talking?” Wang Yuan’s eyes became cold and he said with displeasure, “You’re also a veteran of Huyu, when did you let your emotions affect your decision? What relationship does Y-God have with you that makes it worth your while to take his side?!

“Today’s meeting ends here. There won’t be any changes to the plan. Adjourn!”

…

After classes ended that day, Ye Lingchen walked back to Hill Spring Residences.

Just as he reached the entrance to the residence, his footsteps halted and his expression changed drastically. He inhaled sharply and he turned to escape.

“Ye Lingchen, you really live here!”

Huang Xiaomeng could not help but blurt out. She took a stride forward and blocked Ye Lingchen from the front. Her big eyes stared straight at Ye Lingchen and she was prepared to shame him to death.

Alas, her plans failed.

Ye Lingchen quickly adjusted his mindset and spoke as usual, “Is something the matter?”

“Oh, pretend! Just continue pretending!” Huang Xiaomeng’s eyes narrowed into a slit, “Now tell me, which parts of our body have you peeked on?”

Which parts?

The question was a bit tough and he wondered where he should start?

Li Muxue was blushing. She hung her head low and did not dare to look at Ye Lingchen.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ye Lingchen feigned stupidity and would not admit anything even if it cost him his life.

“Tch, you’ve already seen Sister Muxue.” The angry Huang Xiaomeng pointed at Ye Lingchen and growled, “You have to explain yourself today!”

He had no idea how long Huang Xiaomeng waited for him. Her attitude suggested she was not about to give up.

Ye Lingchen had a headache and smiled bitterly. “What do you want?”

Huang Xiaomeng proudly raised her head. It was obvious that she had planned everything in advance. She then remarked, “How about this, you’ll be responsible for being our bodyguard this evening!”

Ye Lingchen froze for a moment. “Bodyguard?”

“Yep! You fight well, so it should be enough to protect us.” Huang Xiaomeng nodded.

Ye Lingchen looked at Huang Xiaomeng suspiciously. “What are you going to do?”

“No time for chit-chat, you’ll know when you get there.” Huang Xiaomeng huffed. “Tell me, are you going to do it or not!”

Ye Lingchen thought for a while. He felt that he was in the wrong, so he nodded and agreed.

“Okay! Then wait here for us! We’ll be back in a bit!”

Huang Xiaomeng looked incredibly excited. She pulled Li Muxue and the two girls ran back into the residential area.

“Xiaomeng, you waited half a day just to ask Ye Lingchen to be our bodyguard?” Li Muxue also looked at Huang Xiaomeng in surprise. She thought Huang Xiaomeng was out to get Ye Lingchen’s life.

“Hehehe, we won’t just let him off like that. When we get there, I’ll kill him!” Huang Xiaomeng said furiously.

“Oh yeah, where are we going tonight?”

“It’s a very fun place, but it’s a bit messy there. You shouldn’t walk around carelessly.” Huang Xiaomeng’s eyes shined and she was looking forward to it.

Without letting Ye Lingchen wait too long, a red Ferrari sped out of the residential area and stopped in front of Ye Lingchen.

“Get in the car!” Huang Xiaomeng shouted at Ye Lingchen.

To Ye Lingchen’s surprise, Huang Xiaomeng drove at lightning-fast speed throughout the journey. Like a roaring red beast on the road, she headed straight for Capital’s suburbs.

“Where are we going?” Ye Lingchen asked during the drive.

“Mount Fulong!” Huang Xiaomeng said.

“Mount Fulong?”

Ye Lingchen frowned slightly. The name was familiar to him and he heard the name.

Mount Fulong used to be a tourist attraction in Capital, but few tourists went there because it was not very famous. Eventually, it became a barren mountain with a scant few admirers.

Moreover, he heard that it became a hotspot for crime because it was too remote. It was a frequent haunt of gangsters, and setting up fights was a common occurrence.

That little girl was a problem girl and her issues were far from insignificant.

The road gradually became rugged, and there were potholes resulting from years and years of disrepair. A quick scan of the area revealed an absence of buildings in the vicinity. It was rather deserted.

The outline of a mountain soon emerged in the distance not too far ahead. The mountain was not really high, but the mountain range was continuous. From the distance, it looked like a dragon lying on the ground, and the name Mount Fulong originated from that resemblance.

There was only barren soil and weeds near the foot of the mountain. Even the roads were gone.

Huang Xiaomeng turned the wheel and circled to the back of the mountain. She seemed to be very familiar with the place when she navigated through a little road that was only as wide as a car.

After a drive of about 500 meters, it was suddenly very bright. Turns out, there was a huge plaza.

All kinds of vehicles were parked there, with each car of differing grades. They ranged from the cheapest Alto to top-class, world-famous sportscars.

Looking at the direction of the plaza, a small walkway led directly into the mountain. A vermillion lacquer gate guarded the entrance. It was very heavy and measured about half a meter wide. Sculptures of various beasts were erected on either side, baring their fangs and striking fear into one’s heart…
