Over the last few days, she had been kept in her home by the overprotective Huo Beichen, hence, she could only search for a director online . That was how she had found this talented director for hire . After a few phone calls with him, she was invited to visit his film workshop in Shanghai .
Thus, Ning Meng decided to bring Li Shiyao with her there via the China Railway High-speed (CRH) . Ning Meng’s seats were in business-class, one that was placed inside a suite with 5 seats inside .
Other than her and Li Shiyao, there was also a bald middle-aged man and his preteen daughter sitting in the suite inside .
Seated next to them, Ning Meng was able to watch the father-daughter interaction in its full glory .
Hugging her teddy bear, the girl stared at the man with her pure naive eyes . “Dad, I want that big bear that you’re carrying . ”
The man replied gently, “No, this is not for you . This big bear is for mommy . ”
Ning Meng felt touched as she watched this interaction, and consequently, she took out her phone and sent a message to Huo Beichen: [Brother Chen, if we have a child, would you love the child or me more?]

Feeling flustered, Ning Meng put her phone aside and watched the father and daughter again . The man was making a phone call to his wife, telling her the details of their trip . “Just now, a blind man was begging for money, I gave him 100 yuan . ”
The wife’s voice was muffled through the phone’s speaker . “You should be careful . Many scammers are pretending to be blind people . ”
The girl suddenly opened her mouth . “But mommy~ that blind man called dad a ‘handsome sir’!”
“Ah, I see . So he was indeed blind . ”
Suppressing her laughter, Ning Meng sunk herself comfortably into her seat for a quick shut-eye .

Seeing this, the man and girl lowered their voices, not wanting to disturb Ning Meng’s rest . They were quite polite and friendly throughout the trip .
Just as the train was about to arrive at its destination, Ning Meng received a message from Han Meilin: [Meng Meng, are you heading to Shanghai today? If you’ve got the time, could you help me check up on God? I’m worried about him . ]
Ding!
Han Meilin had sent her an address via text .
Ning Meng: [Aunt Meilin, how did you know that I’m going to Shanghai today?]
Han Meilin: [Your dad’s WeChat Group . He mentioned it there . ]
Ning Meng switched to WeChat to look at Ning Wentao’s WeChat Group, and Han Meilin was right—she could see her father bragging profusely in there: [Haha, my daughter has indeed grown up . She is now going outstation for work, my little girl is such an elite!]

Ning Meng then replied to Han Meilin: [I’ve done a quick Baidu, his place is quite near to my hotel . I’ll find some time to visit him . ]
Han Meilin: [Thank you . ]
In a villa at the Jing’an District in Shanghai .
God was wearing the uniform of the E-sports team he had joined—”Team ET”, sitting in front of a gaming computer, doing a match-pairing .
A person walked over to him and gave him a game account . “Our captain asked you to play as this client . Make sure that his ranking climbs up to the High-Ranking Board . ”
Stunned, God replied, “I already have an account in my hand . I was asked to make this account reach to over 200 Ranking in 2 days, I can’t possibly handle so many accounts at once . ”
“What? You’re complaining?! You’re just a d*mned bench player . Are you asking us to send our top players to handle these small, meager assignments?”
After a short pause, God nodded his head .
The person let out a snigger before walking over to another player . “What an idiot! Can’t he see that our team is asking him to help earn money by ranking up these accounts? He’s been sleeping 5 hours per day maximum in the last half a month!”
The other player shook his head . “He wants to go pro, so all he can do is to tolerate this . He’s a newbie, meaning he’s not popular . He’s a nobody . If he quits our club right now, who would take him in?”
