CH 24

Manager Chen almost exploded in anger from this arrogant guy!

How could there be someone so arrogant? Did he not curse clearly enough or specifically enough?

Manager Chen took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger and not cause any trouble in the little brat’s live stream.

Then he sneered and replied, “I’m his guardian!”

At first, Xie Yao was very unhappy with this online romance stuff and the way it was being done. He asked him to turn off the camera, and his unreasonable behavior was annoying.

But when he heard Manager Chen’s answer to Brother Jiang, Xie Yao immediately became stunned.

Guardian?

Suddenly, a very absurd idea popped into his head–

“Manager Chen?” Xie Yao sounded very skeptical about life.

Back then, Xie Yao ran away from home with his saved New Year’s money to seek refuge with SUS in the capital.

He was too young and didn’t want to go home, so he spent every holiday alone at the base. Manager Chen was worried, so he became his temporary guardian, worrying about him like an old mother every day.

Manager Chen himself was clearly a young person under thirty, but during that year or so, he had become a qualified guardian who was good at taking care of children.

Who would have thought that Xie Yao would run away on his own.

Manager Chen sneered on the other end of the screen, “Uncle Chen became Manager Chen, you’re quite something.”

This tone meant that Manager Chen hadn’t run away. Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt a little stifled from being scolded.

“You’re not very polite in your words…”

“What online romance? I haven’t had any online romance. You chased me into the live stream to lecture me.”

Seeing that he was unrepentant and acted as if he didn’t care, not only did Manager Chen not reflect on himself, but he also tried to lie and deceive. This made Manager Chen immediately furious.

“Online romance my ass! You’ve learned how to lie now,” Manager Chen retorted.

Online dating pinches horses: You were so casual in your live stream, and I saw everything when I came in. Is this how normal male-male relationships are like for you?

Online dating pinches horses: How old are you? Do you even know what it means to judge someone’s character? You don’t want the money I gave you, but you happily accept money from others?

He didn’t point his finger at Jiang Song’s nose, but everyone present could tell who he was referring to. The barrage was silent for a second.

Xie Yao felt suffocated and couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “What are you talking about? The relationship between me and Jiang-ge is not what you think it is.”

But his father, Chen Manager, was still angry and didn’t listen to his explanation. Instead, he became even more agitated when Xie Yao called Jiang Song “Brother”.

Online dating pinches horses: You still call him ‘ge’? Who knows if he’s even older than me in private?

The old father coldly snorted, expressing his great disappointment in the stinky brat: “I already know everything, but you still want to deceive me. Your livestream has so many fans watching!”

At first, the barrage fans, because of the manager’s hysterical words, some of them even retorted against him, feeling indignant for their own anchor, thinking that the manager was just someone who came to show off and cause trouble whenever he had some money, just like what happened with the Green Rose last time.

But after a series of actions, the tearing and cursing turned into a real family reunion, and this boss turned into the “guardian” of the anchor?

What kind of strange operation is this?

The manager brought the battle to the quiet and timid fans, and they immediately became frightened. Although they were all obsessed with the CP pairing, it was only a verbal expression, and they dared not fight with the guardian of the anchor. Each one immediately tried to mediate, attempting to save their own anchor.

: Uncle, you’ve misunderstood. We were actually performing a scene, and it had nothing to do with Yao Yao and Boss Jiang!

: Please don’t blame Yao Yao for the fan’s behavior. Uncle, don’t listen to our nonsense!

: I’m sorry for my big mouth. Uncle, please don’t blame Yao Yao!

: I was wrong, I’m sorry…

: Boss Jiang and Yao Yao have a very pure relationship, and everything else is just our wild imagination!

As the barrage changed from “so sweet” and “laughing to death” to “it’s my fault” and “they’re really pure,” Manager Chen’s expression twisted for a moment.

Did he never go online? If there wasn’t something ambiguous between them, why would these fans be so obsessed with shipping them?

He’s 35, not 75! He knows what CP fans are like!

Manager Chen almost fell backwards in anger.

Xie Yao didn’t really think there was anything between him and the boss, but he was afraid of Manager Chen since he was scolded by him when he was a child. Even now, he didn’t dare to confront him directly and could only secretly give a thumbs up when the fans silenced Manager Chen.

“Well done!”

So the fans became even more enthusiastic.

Jiang Song looked at the increasingly intense barrage and saw that Manager Chen had done something stupid and was unaware of it. He couldn’t help but rub his temples with a headache and let out a sigh.

Does this guy never use his brain when doing things?

The barrage in the live broadcast was unbearable. Many new fans were immediately discouraged when they entered, and the remaining ones were either old fans or enduring it because of Xie Yao’s face.

This is very unfavorable for the popularity of the live broadcast room.

Jiang Song leaned back in his chair, and used gifts to clear the barrage once again, then exited the app and opened his contacts.

As soon as Manager Chen spoke, his words were drowned out by the fans, making his forehead bulge with veins. What made him even more furious was that the suspicious man who had topped the list shamelessly rewarded him with 50,000 yuan again!

As if anyone needed that 50,000 yuan!

Before Manager Chen could even press the reward button, a call came in and blocked him. He looked at the name and it was Jiang Song.

Perfect timing! Manager Chen was just looking for a way to vent his anger. He immediately answered the call.

Before Jiang Song could speak, Manager Chen burst out angrily.

“Is this how you look after genius? Do you know he’s now having an online romance with a creepy old man?” Manager Chen clenched his teeth. “Isn’t genius your online boyfriend? Why aren’t you taking care of him at all?”

Creepy old man Jiang Song: “…”

Jiang Song chuckled in anger. “What old man? He’s only 25, ten years younger than you. Are you kidding me?”

Manager Chen asked, “How do you know that?”

Jiang Song replied, “Why can’t I know?”

Jiang Song thought that he had made his point, and Manager Chen’s twisted logic would be straightened out. However, Manager Chen began to scold him.

“Don’t you know and yet you don’t stop him? What kind of heart do you have?”

Jiang Song was amazed by his thought process and couldn’t help but ask, “Have you eaten too many stupid pills?”

Suddenly being scolded, Manager Chen became very angry.

Jiang Song said, “You don’t even know that I’m Boss Jiang at this point. You should submit your resignation letter to sus tomorrow morning and leave by yourself. Don’t teach my precious contestants bad things.”

Manager Chen: ?

After being ridiculed, he finally snapped out of it and said, “Why the fuck didn’t you say so earlier?”

“I was enjoying watching you perform your one-man show. I didn’t have the heart to interrupt,” replied Jiang Song.

“Get the hell out of here!”

Getting back to the point, Jiang Song stopped mocking him and said, “Okay, just leave and don’t make a scene in his livestream. He’s struggling to make ends meet with this job, and you almost ruined it for him.”

“I am the boss here, not some creepy old man from a dating site. Patch up your broken heart and move on.”

Hearing this, Manager Chen exited the livestream and apologized to the audience backstage. But then he heard Jiang Song’s last sentence and immediately retorted, “It’s you who can’t let go!”

“I’m listening. Explain yourself,” said Jiang Song.

“I’m not explaining anything. You’re the one who should be explaining!”

After hearing Jiang Song’s words, Manager Chen’s mind lit up immediately, and his thoughts became clearer than ever before!

He began to list the doubts he had about Jiang Song.

“You never watch live streams, so how did you suddenly appear in Genius’s live stream room?”

Jiang Song replied, “It was an accident.”

If it weren’t for that botched 1v1 match, Jiang Song would not have had any contact with Xie Yao, at least not so easily.

Manager Chen reluctantly accepted this excuse and asked, “Okay, then tell me, how did this accident make you the number one on his live stream? Don’t give me any more nonsense about accidents!”

Jiang Song immediately thought of the name Green Rose and couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s a coincidence, really.”

“How the hell do you have so many coincidences?” Manager Chen believed his lie.

“This is the fact, believe it or not, it’s up to you.” Jiang Song was indifferent.

His attitude made Manager Chen even more incredulous, but he skipped this basic question and asked another one.

“Then tell me, how did you start getting entangled with Genius? You even have CP fans, and the numbers are not small. This can already show how abnormal your usual interaction is!”

How could a normal interaction lead to CP fans?

Jiang Song paused for a moment, but this question made his mind go blank, and he couldn’t remember when they became close.

He said, “It just happened naturally through our interactions. What’s the problem?”

“The problem is huge!” Manager Chen’s voice immediately raised a degree.

Jiang Song paused, and his movements involuntarily stopped.

“You don’t need me to tell you who you are, you know it yourself. In seven years in SUS, I swear I’ve never seen you talk to anyone like this. Which teammate haven’t you scolded? The nickname ‘Living Yanwang’ was given to you by your crazy fans!”

“Living Yanwang was in the team for seven years and almost scared the little grandson of the cleaning lady to tears. After retiring, you turned around and started being sweet and caring to him at genius.”

“And how do you explain that?”

Jiang Song fell silent. He realized his change of attitude towards the small anchor, which he himself had not noticed. He had been patient with him.

“Genius has an interesting personality,” he said.

To which Manager Chen replied with a cold sneer, “Sure, interesting enough to overlook his mistakes. But I haven’t seen you show any mercy when he’s made a mistake and you scolded him to tears.”

Jiang Song said nothing.

“Genius is still my fan,” he finally said.

After he finished speaking, he felt like he couldn’t stand on his own two feet.

With so many fans in the world, why did he single out genius for special treatment?

On the surface, he seemed indifferent, even his tone of response was somewhat casual, but his heart rate began to accelerate at the mention of genius by Manager Chen.

Manager Chen naturally didn’t miss his rare hesitation, and immediately took advantage of the situation, “Everyone knows what kind of personality you have. At this point, I don’t believe you don’t have any interest in genius. Just admit it.”

Manager Chen said this very calmly, settling the matter once and for all.

The hammer struck his heart, leaving Jiang Song speechless once again.

He had never thought about it before, but now, after hearing Chen Jing’s words, his heart rate suddenly became uncontrollable, and various doubts gathered in his mind, causing his heart rate to accelerate even more.

His heart told him: you like genius.
