Growth-type Super Rich

Shanghai WE Electronic Club.

At the entrance, quite a few people were already standing; all the management and players were waiting for someone.

The LPL Spring Split was nearing its end, and WE held the top spot with an absolute points advantage, to the point where even if they lost the next two matches, they would still enter the playoffs as the top seed.

Ever since Gu Bai became the owner of WE, the food has been top-notch. Each month, the expenses for player equipment, meals, and other aspects alone could reach over 100,000 RMB. UZI, who was already chubby, appeared even plumper.

As April approached, the weather gradually warmed up, and with so many people around, it didn't feel too cold. UZI stood at the entrance and asked the club manager and coach, Ah Bu: "Coach, why would Chairman Gu suddenly think of visiting our club? We still have several scrims this afternoon."

Hearing UZI's question, Ah Bu could only roll his eyes helplessly.

"You ask me, how would I know? As soon as I got the news, I informed the entire club. Isn't a boss's impromptu inspection quite normal? As for the scrims, if they're canceled, they're canceled. Big deal, we'll reschedule them. With our current strength in WE, not to mention the LPL, even teams from several other regions want to schedule scrims with us into the next half year. It's no big deal."

It's no wonder Ah Bu was getting cocky. After spending so many years at EDG as a coach, pinching every penny, they had never experienced such prosperity. As soon as the players needed budget, it would be immediately allocated, and if the equipment wasn't up to par, they'd replace it with the best. They didn't have to worry about money at all.

Gu Bai already did so much. If the new WE still couldn't produce results, it would really be a disgrace to all the money Gu Bai invested.

In a corner, Factory Director stood silently. Since returning to WE, the player ridiculed as 4396's 7 Sauce seemed to have transformed into a different person. His jungle play was aggressive, unafraid of taking blame. Aside from aging and slight declines in mechanical skill, it felt like he had returned to his former position as the world's best jungler.

All those years of ups and downs gave him a wealth of experience. Between mlxg and Factory Director, mlxg seemed more like a catalyst. When he played, games often swung wildly but sometimes faced turnarounds. Whenever Factory Director played, he wasn't just a jungler position but also a reassuring presence for everyone. When Factory Director was in, all the WE fans knew they were guaranteed a stable game.

Only Factory Director himself knew that all this was brought by that man called Gu Bai.

Returning to WE was redemption and rebirth for him.

Minutes later, a Bentley Arnage and several Maybach business cars slowly approached, drawing the attention of many passersby.

The WE crowd immediately understood from this setup that their big boss, Gu Bai, had arrived.

"Perk up, Chairman Gu is here!"

Ah Bu lightly chided as he saw some players who were still a bit sluggish.

Meanwhile, on Gu Bai's side, after leaving the Dean's office, he wasn't interested in returning to class. Just as there were no afternoon classes for the Performing Arts department, Deng Bo and Wen Cunming both wanted to see the current unbeatable LPL team. As for Lou Xun, after a winter break preparation, "Produce 101 Season 2" had already begun filming, so he wasn't at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

In addition to Deng Bo and Wen Cunming, sisters Park Yichun and Park Yina, as die-hard LOL fans, also accompanied them to the WE Club. The reason only those two sisters came and not leaving Qi Man and Yi Yiyi was due to task constraints. By having friendly interactions with the two girls, they could complete the "Spend Money on Call" task. Though "Redemption of the Kidney Eater" gave Gu Bai strong kidneys allowing him to handle 1V4, Qi Man and Yi Yiyi seemed resistant, but Gu Bai wouldn't force them. He decided to complete the task first.

As for Park Yichun and Park Yina, they were already mentally prepared.

After getting out of the Bentley Arnage, all the WE Club management led by Ah Bu came to greet them.

"Good afternoon, Chairman Gu."

Gu Bai also smiled and acknowledged them.

"UZI!!!"

This exclamation came from Deng Bo and Wen Cunming. As old fans of RNG, Gu Bai had heard their praise for UZI countless times back in the dorm. If there's a term for them, it would be the "Dog Flute" as the internet called them.

Their most common comment online was, "Peaks give birth to false supporters; dusk witnesses devoted believers."

UZI, seeing the fanboy reaction from the two people accompanying Gu Bai, was somewhat caught off guard and glanced at Gu Bai for help.

Gu Bai also smiled helplessly: "These two are my roommates. They're your loyal fans; just treat them as you would any fans and ignore me."

As for Park Yina and Park Yichun, though they were also die-hard LOL fans, they were fans of the LCK, so they weren't too excited about the LPL players, but still took out their prepared notebooks and approached Factory Director in the corner. Using not-so-fluent Mandarin, they said: "clearlove! Can you give me an autograph?"

As the saying goes, fleeting LPL, steadfast Factory Director.

Perhaps many stars have emerged in the domestic esports circle, but in Goryeo, Factory Director's fans surely surpass most LPL players. After all, this man stood as LPL's sole representative during the era when Goryeo dominated. He was also the first jungler seen as the best by League of Legends' first person, Faker, and was known as the world's best jungler, attracting attention from the no-importing LCK to personally headhunt him.
