Chapter 1168: Chapter 629: Is Dating Expensive? (Please Subscribe)_2

Previously, Ding Yue watched matches while usually preparing plenty of snacks to enjoy in the process—it was truly a tasty experience.

Whether he could savor today’s match depended on whether his team of young, e-sports dream-chasing lads would be up to par.

It also rested on whether the coach, Jian Zihao, could stay composed in the face of the Big Tiger team.

Perhaps Jian Zihao couldn’t break the champion’s curse during his professional career, but now, having become a coach, and having changed quite a lot, he seemed perfectly fit for the role in Ding Yue’s eyes.

Ding Yue had once privately inquired with Xiong Jiahao and the others about their opinions on the current coach, Jian Zihao.

If Xiong Jiahao and these few e-sports prodigies felt Jian Zihao was not up to the task, or if the coach’s responsibility couldn’t satisfy the players, then Ding Yue might have considered replacing him, restricting Jian Zihao to just being the dean of the E-sports Game College, rather than the head coach of the FY team.

But what Xiong Jiahao and the others told Ding Yue was that the coach Jian Zihao was a perfect match for these players.

Therefore, Ding Yue had always let Jian Zihao lead the young guys of the FY team up until now!

Even though Jian Zihao couldn’t snatch the champion ADC title at the S World Championship, no worries, this year he might capture the champion coach title.

"Yue, this year’s S World Championship with our FY team playing against DLH team is hugely popular, major competitive sports official websites have opened betting, should we also place a bet to boost the excitement?"

As the four sat down, Huang began to discuss this matter with Ding Yue.

Typically, major sports events come with betting opportunities; for instance, famous events like the World Cup, the European Championships, where one could make a decent amount of money if they win the bet.

With the development of electronic sports, e-sports have also begun to feature such betting excitement.

Typically, before the match, each major competitive sports company opens betting on which team will win and claim the championship title, offering a corresponding multiplier return.

"Do we even need to discuss it, we’re definitely betting on our FY team,"

Ding Yue shrugged his shoulders and said calmly.

Although Ding Yue usually didn’t indulge in these sports bets, today was different.

After all, it was his FY team playing in the match, and when Huang brought up e-sports betting, there was no doubt Ding Yue was going to back his own team.

"Hehehe, right, we must support our FY team, that’s why I bought five hundred."

Huang said with a chuckle.

"Five hundred?"

Ding Yue rolled his eyes at Huang, muttering, "Five hundred, aren’t you just buying loneliness?"

"Eh, just for a bit of fun."

Huang Youjie pondered for a moment, realizing he indeed bet too little.

"Come on, follow my lead, go all in, and that’s that."

Having said that, Ding Yue immediately told his secretary Wen Ruohan, "Xiao Wen, buy ten thousand for our FY team!"

"Goodness!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Youjie was instantly staggered. No wonder Yue was fearless; casually betting on an electronic sports bet started at one hundred thousand yuan.

"Alright Principal Ding, then I’ll also bet ten thousand, hehehe."

Wen Ruohan nodded and said, smiling, following Principal Ding with her bet.

In total, it was one hundred and ten thousand yuan with Principal Ding personally betting one hundred thousand and herself, ten thousand, all on the FY team to win the championship.

"I’ll also chip in for fun, ten thousand!"

At that moment, Sun Chengkang also chimed in with a smile.

One hundred thousand yuan, for Ding Yue, it was like pocket money.

Ten thousand yuan, for university students like Wen Ruohan and Sun Chengkang, wasn’t too big a deal either.

For typical university students, ten thousand yuan was indeed a considerable sum.

But Wen Ruohan and Sun Chengkang were not typical; anyone who could stay by Principal Ding’s side was far from ordinary.

Wen Ruohan’s monthly salary was well over ten thousand yuan, plus an annual bonus, and every year, Principal Ding would also give her a bonus for her hard work.

Over the years, Wen Ruohan had certainly received a lot of money, and now she could be considered somewhat of a "little rich woman."

As for Sun Chengkang, there was not much need to mention him.

Ever since the National Arts vs. Thai Boxing match, Sun Chengkang had embarked on the path of becoming a National Arts superstar. With Feiyue Media backing him up, and Sun Chengkang being a powerhouse in National Arts himself, he now had a massive following on Twitter and TikTok. Just by leveraging his triumph over a Thai boxing master and glorifying National Arts, he was able to make quite a sum of money.

The wealth Sun Chengkang had amassed wasn’t in the range of several tens of millions, but he definitely had several millions, and it was even possible that he was worth tens of millions now.

However, Sun Chengkang had stated more than once that he did not wish to be a National Arts superstar, but just a master of National Arts, and perhaps even become a grandmaster if he had the chance in the future.

But in today’s society, once you create a massive buzz, the netizens will idolize you. Even if you don’t want to be a National Arts superstar, the broad masses of netizens still consider you one.

After all, idolizing a superstar who promotes National Arts is much better than chasing after those top stars who lack real skill and only rely on capital-driven marketing, right?

At least Sun Chengkang, the National Arts superstar, could genuinely take on five at once, while those so-called song and dance rappers or top stars packaged by Q Entertainment Media probably couldn’t even beat one Sun Chengkang, right?

"If I don’t raise my contribution, it would seem unfair, right?"

Huang Youjie saw Yue directly buying one hundred thousand yuan, and both the secretary and Sun Chengkang buying ten thousand, so the five hundred he had spent seemed a little insignificant.

In the words of Yue, it really was just buying loneliness.

"Huang, you’re also quite wealthy now," Ding Yue stretched out his hand and patted Huang on the shoulder, "This isn’t gambling, just a boost for our FY team."

"Then I’ll put in fifty thousand!"

Huang Youjie suddenly felt generous and declared cheerfully, "That should be enough of a boost, right?"

"Fifty thousand dollars, not bad at all,"

Ding Yue laughed and nodded.

Ever since Ding Yue had established Mist City Arts and Science University, Huang Youjie had been working tirelessly in logistics, not to mention that Huang himself was quite hardworking.

And the pay Ding Yue gave Huang was naturally excellent. No matter how much Mist City Arts and Science University or Feiyue Group made, Huang and Bin never complained about receiving a smaller share because they knew that the leadership and management by Yue were crucial to their success today.

Huang was merely playing a supporting role, but even so, the dividends Yue gave him were already plentiful, enough to ensure a life without worry.

"Yue, you don’t know how expensive dating can be,"

Huang Youjie shrugged, indicating that he was feeling a bit "financially tight" recently, otherwise he would have also contributed one hundred thousand to boost the FY team.

Speaking of which, Ding Yue knew Huang had gotten himself a beautiful girlfriend. Firstly, because Huang was charming, and secondly, because Huang was competent in many areas. But indeed, dating could be quite costly, which Ding Yue agreed with.

"Ah? Is dating expensive? Really expensive?"

Upon hearing this, the secretary Wen Ruohan blinked her innocent eyes in confusion and asked.

Since Wen Ruohan had never dated, she naturally didn’t understand the feeling of financial strain from dating that Director Huang was talking about.

"Definitely,"

Huang Youjie spread his hands as he spoke.

"It’s just going on dates, eating out, watching movies, and you can even go Dutch."

Wen Ruohan continued blinking her innocent, bright eyes as she spoke.

"Um..."

Huang was suddenly at a loss for words.

Dating, eating out, and watching movies were far from the stage Huang was at in his romantic relationships.

"The other day, Huang even bought a car for his partner," Ding Yue raised an eyebrow and mentioned to the secretary Wen Ruohan.

"Wow!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan was completely astounded.

Director Huang sure was wealthy.

It’s nice to be rich.

Huh.

It seemed like she was wealthy too and could buy a car for herself, but where to find love?
