After hearing what Wang Li said, Rita and Ouyang Xue looked at each other .
They were thinking that Newbee’s appearance wasn’t a coincidence as expected . Just looking at their effort in recruiting members, it was obvious that they were rather efficient .
In fact, Xiao Ran’s current impression of Wang Li and Tong Qiang were rather favorable . After all, Tong Qiang looked rather polite and the two of them were here especially to look for him . It showed their sincerity .
As such, Xiao Ran replied tactfully, “The treatment from JAY is rather good and I don’t have the intention to leave JAY . Apologies . ”
Xiao Ran sounded tactful but in the eyes of Tong Qiang, Xiao Ran was simply seeking personal profits .
Tong Qiang let out a soft sneer .
Xiao Ran didn’t hear the sneer but Wang Li noticed it . He felt that it was truly a mistake to visit Xiao Ran with Tong Qiang .
This person whose eyes are grown on the top of his head is just going to ruin things for me .
(TL note: Eyes grown on the top of the head is just a saying to describe an arrogant person)
But I couldn’t possibly kick him out right now either .
Wang Li immediately said to Xiao Ran, “We have already decided to give you a monthly salary of $60,000 and you should know that even the starting players of LPL teams are only getting $30,000 a month on average . ”
Rita couldn’t help nodding at Wang Li’s statement .
She knew that Wang Li was talking nonsense . The monthly salary of $60,000 was already a very high salary for LPL players .
Just looking at this point, the conditions that Newbee offered were very generous and they were indeed worthy to be a prestigious team that was on the rise .

Xiao Ran was rather unhappy .
From what you said, do you think I am trying to negotiate the salary with you people?
Or do you think that you can use money to buy me over?
Do you people check about my networth clearly before trying to poach me?
A mere $60,000 a month? Aren’t you embarrassed?
However, Xiao Ran couldn’t be bothered to quarrel with them and spoke rather calmly, “I have mentioned that JAY’s treatment for me is rather good and I don’t wish to transfer . ”
Tong Qiang was startled as he never expected that Xiao Ran would refuse .
A LSPL player actually rejected the invitation from a prestigious LPL team .
This was truly ridiculous .
Tong Qiang could feel flames surging from his stomach .
If it was a normal situation, Tong Qiang would surely storm off in anger .
But there were two beauties here and Tong Qiang felt that he should act like a gentleman .
Furthermore, Newbee was hiding some of their troubles . They had just recruited a Korean player and were in a slump right now, therefore, the team urgently required an outstanding player who could produce good results .
However, Tong Qiang was ultimately unable to suppress his anger . He asked with a despising tone, “Do you feel that we are not offering enough money? Tell me, how much do you want?”

When Tong Qiang made his statement, Wang Li’s expression changed .
As expected, Xiao Ran was extremely unhappy with this statement . “In this world, money doesn’t represent everything . ”
Tong Qiang was so angry that his face was turning pale .
He never imagined that a professional player would dare to be so prideful with a prestigious LPL team’s manager .
Tong Qiang pointed at Xiao Ran for a long time before speaking, “Do you know that Newbee is a top level team in the LPL? What about you? You are just in the LSPL and a member of an average team in the secondary league . ”
Rita was stunned when she heard Tong Qiang speaking in such a manner .
She never expected a prestigious LPL organization’s general manager to speak like this .
Xiao Ran was amused, he was utterly amused by Tong Qiang’s obsessed confidence .
He who transmigrated knew too much about Newbee .
Newbee was a dark horse team that fought their way up from LSPL . The team’s original name was Qiao Gu Reapers .
(Author’s note: Please do not associate it with the real world’s time . This is a parallel world . )
During the spring season, they had once dominated the league and were equals with EDG .
Newbee was generous and they knew their shortcoming was their bot-lane . As such, they spent a great deal of money to buy in China’s no . 1 ADC, Uzi . They had also brought in the miraculous Korean Mid-laner, Dade .
But, from the beginning of the summer season, all sorts of chaotic situations had caused Newbee to decline and they continued to decline .

What was the extent of their decline?
Newbee was the first team in S6 to be relegated .
They were reduced to playing the relegation league…
If this world was just like the previous world, Newbee’s glorious days were about to end .
It was truly unknown where did this Manager Tong obtain his obsessed confidence .
Even if Newbee’s fate is different from the previous world, so what?
If they encounter me, I will crush them!
Xiao Ran took a glance at Tong Qiang and snorted . “My apologies, my response isn’t targeted at anyone . I just wish to say that Newbee is just a trash team in my eyes . ”
Wang Li knew that the situation was in a deadlock and he was wishing that he could drag Tong Qiang out and give Tong Qiang a good walloping session .
From the looks of it, it was already too late and hopeless .
Wang Li originally wanted to mediate the mood but Tong Qiang had sneered and said, “You are so arrogant just because you can sing and can play? Let me tell you, no matter what industry you are in, you have to obey the rules and to set yourself according to your status . ”
“By giving up on the chance to join a prestigious LPL team and also giving up a monthly salary of $60,000 is going to be the worst mistake in your life . ”
“I shall make myself clear today . From now on, there will never be another organization that will offer more money to hire you . ”
After finishing his statement, Tong Qiang looked at Xiao Ran pitifully as though he was in control of Xiao Ran’s career and was going to personally break it .
Xiao Ran chuckled and said, “Oh please . Before you try to poach someone in the future, can you at least find out the person’s background? $60,000 a month isn’t even $1 million annually . Do you think I will fancy such miserable money?”
“That’s right, let me tell you another secret . Don’t you know that I have shares in JAY too? In other words, I am also one of the JAY’s bosses . ”
Subsequently, Xiao Ran followed up with another word: “Dumb . ”
Tong Qiang was so angry that his face had changed and he couldn’t say a single word when looking at Xiao Ran .
Since young, Tong Qiang had never been so angry before .
But seeing that Xiao Ran was already not listening and was actually one of JAY’s bosses, Tong Qiang couldn’t do anything even if he was angry .
He could only give Xiao Ran a vicious glare before turning around and leaving .
Wang Li sighed . He never imagined that the situation would become like this .
It was a pity, Newbee had lost a chance to regain their dominance .
“Apologies, I never imagine things would become like this . ” Wang Li apologized to Xiao Ran before he quickly caught up with Tong Qiang and walked out of the restaurant .
Rita looked at the entrance of the restaurant in a dumbfounded manner . She then took another glance at Xiao Ran while her heart started burning with flames of gossip .
“Xiao Ran, you said that you are one of JAY’s bosses . Is that true?”
Ouyang Xue had also looked at Xiao Ran curiously: This boy seems rather interesting .
