Chapter 267 Crazy Announcement

“Okay…”

Song Lu said one word after the first half of Su Ping’s sentence. As the second half of his sentence reached her ears, Song Lu was stunned still

The… champions.h.i.+p?

She was in such a big shock that she almost dropped her phone.

She held tighter to her phone and came back to her senses. “Mr. Su, are you sure you are saying the right words? Or, did I hear it wrong? How many spots for what?” She felt she had to make sure she heard right.

“No more multiple spots. I said the champion!”

Su Ping had to reiterate so that she would not remember it wrong.

Song Lu kept her eyes wide open. This time, she was sure that she heard that word. Su Ping was not mentioning a number. He said… the champion!

He wanted to make someone the champion?!

Was he in his sane mind!!

Wasn’t this implying that Su Ping would pre-determine the champion for the Elite League’s qualification trials in the Longjiang Base City?

Song Lu could not think straight.

He was talking about the champions.h.i.+p… No one in the top 10 or top 5, not even the people who came in second and third could compare with the champion. There was only one champion and the champion was the focus of attention!

The compet.i.tion in every year’s Elite League was fierce. Not even the several local ruling families could claim that their people would win the champions.h.i.+p, not to mention a small store like Su Ping’s! As it had always been, it was the young talents of the major families that were fighting for the champions.h.i.+p. No one else ever was included in this fight.

At the very beginning of this call, hearing Su Ping’s calm voice, Song Lu thought that he was unaffected by the news Primo had released the night before. At the moment, she understood that not only was Su Ping affected, he had been driven out of his mind!

In the state of extreme craziness, he sure sounded sane. Nevertheless, his composed tone did not change the fact that he had become a lunatic. Why else would he boast such a wild statement?

“Sir… Sir, please think this through. Becoming the champion is not easy. Fighting for the Top 10 is already a risky game. The champion is always someone from the big families. The entire base city will be in an uproar if we spread out this message!” Song Lu’s voice was trembling.

She was nervous, afraid that Su Ping would be h.e.l.l-bent on having his own way after he had gone “insane”.

If Su Ping insisted, she would be unable to stop him. Her only option would be to go down with this madman.

“I know. Since this is a compet.i.tion, then let us compete. I am using legitimate ways. It is not like I am breaking the law or something.” Su Ping stayed calm. He had considered the risk of his decision. Otherwise, he would not have informed her when Primo’s advertis.e.m.e.nt had been online for so long.

He had to take more concerns into account than Song Lu could imagine.

That being said.

Since he had the ability and he was not committing a crime, why would he step away from the compet.i.tion?

Besides, even a legendary battle pet warrior had to flee his store. When people came to bully him, he would show people that he wasn’t a pushover.

“Sir…” Song Lu could hear that Su Ping was never going to change his mind. All hope was lost for her.

She felt that the phone in her hand was a bomb that could blow her up at any second.

From their previous interaction, Song Lu had become aware that she would never be able to persuade Su Ping. Besides, when Su Ping was dead set on his ideas, they could not stop him. They could refuse to advertise for him but he had money. He could ask for another company to do the promotions for him while Song Lu and Mu’s Agency would have to deal with the huge liquidated damages.

Song Lu regretted ever taking this job and in the meantime, she regretted having listened to Vice Princ.i.p.al Dong.

What kind of a lunatic did he refer to her!

He was not doing her a favor!

“What?!”

In the office, after hearing Song Lu’s briefing, the Mu Agency’s president practically shot up from his chair. He stared at her in disbelief with his jaw dropped.

Sitting on the side, Mu Shuangwan was just like a deer caught in the headlights. She could have never imagined that Su Ping would be capable of such crazy decisions when the Primo stores pushed him to the edge!

The champion?

How terrifying this sounded! He was saying that he was going to appoint a person and that person was going to be the champion!

What would the major families think of this?

“Did you try to talk him out of it?” he asked Song Lu. Song Lu produced a smile of desperation. “I did everything short of dropping to my knees to beg him. People like him are usually determined and cannot be persuaded.”

The president curled his lips.

He knew better than anyone that those who met the most success in life were usually resolute and unlikely to be swayed.

But… Su Ping was a wacko!

He would never come back until he reached a dead end. He was on a suicide mission!

“No. I cannot allow this to happen. Cancel our contract with the store. We’ll deal with the huge liquidated damages!” Taking a deep breath, he announced his decision.

He understood fully that paying the huge liquidated damages would mean they would lose money.

Still, furthering their cooperation with the store would cost them more money. Even their entire company would be destroyed because of this!

This time, Su Ping wasn’t merely upsetting Primo, a store.

He was going against the entire base city!

He was targeting the champions.h.i.+p!

How frantic was he!

“Cancel the contract?” Mu Shuangwan frowned. She was the one who had decided to go along with the job. She had second ideas about canceling the contract. She had met Venerable the Blade in Su Ping’s store. Canceling the contract would mean that Venerable the Blade would have an unfavorable impression of her and the Mu Family.

Also, she had not quite figured out the relations.h.i.+p between Venerable the Blade and Su Ping.
